Knoivilu fi " Highest of all in Leavening Power.—U. S. Gov’t Report, Aug. 17, 1889. ABSOLUTELY PURE FKOM TUE VALLEY OF SHADOW, Death rode from the Valh*v of Shadow In clouds that were crimson, and trolled; “I would, and I would that 1 had, O The heart of a warrior hold!” Swift then thro* the Northland he thun dered. Struck down there a soldier of fame Who smote at our heart till it sundered, Swept clean w ith his besom of flame. Then sobbed, at the North, every river, And sighed, at the North, every pine When Sherman, whom none could deliver, Passed grim o’er the shadowy line. Thence Death to the Southland rushed, storming Thro’ cloudbanks that luridly rolled, And he sang, “Oh, I long to be warming My spear in the hearts of the bold.” Gray haired was the liero aud fearless, But Death smote him full on the breast; And Johnston—Joe Johnston, the peerless-- Went over the river to rest. Still dogging the footsteps of Sherman, They clasp on the uttermost shore Of that river of fable and sermon Whose voyagers cross it no more. Then Grief robbed the South of her blushes , The winds sighed along o’er the lea; Savannah sobbed on thro’ her rushes, Potomac rolled tears to the sea. He bivouacs in dasics and closer, Afar from the fret and the hum; The boom ef his cannon is over. And hushed is the sound of his drum. All over, his charges and rallies, His camping in rain and in sun, His bugles that rang through the valleys Are over—all over and done. All over, the strategic marches That held the blue legions at bay, The t 1 irst and the fever that parches, Are over—all over, to day. Forget all his faults in his glory; Be silent and cover them all; The sword that he wielded is gory, And hangs in his desolate hall. Then honor him, chivalrous, fearless, The gallant, the dauntless of breast; For Johnston, Joe Johnston the peerless, Has crossed the dark river to rest. W. T. Dr.mas. Sparta, Ga. Outdone l>y a Boy. A lail in Boston, rather small for his years, works iu an office as an et rand boy for four gentlemen who do business there. One day the gentle men w< re chaffing him a little about being so small and said to him: “You never will amount to much, you are too small.” The little fellow looked at them. “Well,” said he, “as small as I am, J can do something which none of you four men can do ” “And what is that?” said they. “I don’t know that I ought to tell you,” he replied. Hut they were anxious to know and urged him to tell what he could do that none of them were able to do. “I can keep from swearing,” said the little fellow. There were some blushes on four manly faces and there seemed to he very little anxiety for further informa tion on the point. Conservatory Contention. “What has become of the Sweet Pea?” “Mignonette it.” “If she told you so you shouldn’t Violet her confidence. “You needn't scold about it. I'll tell Poppy.” ‘lf you do I'll keep out Orange of his gun.” “I’m not worried Aster that.” “You I.ilae everything when you say it.” The Rose blushed; the Gentian looked blue, but said nothing. “Come, children, y ou mar Elysium,” reproved Mother Primrose, with a hy brid air. “Such contentions Rasp berry much, and may end ill a Cereus affair.” Mr. J. 11. Estill, President Morn ing News Co.. Savauuah. Ga., says: A member of my family who lias been a marty r to Neuralgic Headache for twenty years, lias found iu Bradvcro tine an infallible remedy.

McDonough, ga., Friday, may 15, isoi. A SOL1I) GOLD NECKLACE. Hut It Blackened it Pretty Girl’s Neck and Nearly Broke an Engagement. Late yesterday afternoon a young man entered a jewelry store on Penn : sylvauia avenue, and in a very excited manner demanded to see the proprie tor. His countenance indicated a storm, and it was not slow in making its ap | pearauc%. , ‘T thought you sold me this neck lace for solid gold. It’s nothin" of the kind. It's a fraud, a perfect fraud,” stormed the young man. “I paid yon a sufficiently large pr’ce to have it of solid gold of the purest grade, but it is 1 nothing but brass, and if you don’t re fuud my money there will be trouble.” “Young man, just calm yourself,” said the jeweler, “and if you can prove that the necklace is not 18 karat gold. 1 will gladly give you double the price. Now, tell me, what is the trouble.'”’ “It is simply this. 1 gave that neck lace to my fiance, and it has resulted in nearly breaking off the engagement. The first tire.e she wvore it the miser able thing blackened her neck before it had been on two hours. The young lady was attending a cortillion at the time, and she is fearfully mortified over it, for she declares that every girl iu the room must have noticed the black marks made on her throat by my latest present. She naturally concluded that 1, like my gift, was a fraud. The only way I could make peace was to show her by your hill that I had paid sufii cient to insure it being solid gold.” ( “That is what I thought,” replied the jeweler. “The' fault is not with the necklace, hut with the young lady herself. You will find that during the course of her life she has taken a great deal of strong medicine containing cer ' tain minerals, the effects of which re main in the system for years Such a person cannot wear gold next to the skin, for the mineral in the system will find their way through the pores of the skin with the perspiration, aud even iu this minute quantity, will attack and tarnish gold of the purest carat. This tarnish, of course, comes off, aud soon there will be a sufficient quantity to leave a dark-colored mark on the skin of the fairest woman if she is so unfor tunate as to have much of these nte talic medicines in her system.” The dealer then convinced the cus tomer that the necklace was pure gold as represented, but refunded his money as lie said it would be useless for the young lady to attempt to wear the or nament without having a repetition pf her former experience. To a reporter the jeweler explained that such cases were quite frequent, but not as much so as formerly, because physicians have iu a great measure dis continued the use of calomel and other like drugs in which chloride of tuercu ry enters as a factor. This mineral, ho said, acts more powerfully than all j others iu its attacks upon gold. Its af finity for the latter metal is what re mits iu skin being blackened when gold is worn next to the person. Sil ver is aiso acted upon in the same man ner.— Washington Post. From Bail to Worse. The ordinary treatment of conta gious blood poison is to drive one poi son from the system by introducing an other. The result, iu most cases, has been which ttsally foil >ws a leap from the frying-pan into the fire. I'o put it milldly, mercurial and other mineral poisonings have disadvantages which are hardly less serious than conta gious blood poison. In either case the system is wrecked; aud yet there is no reason why humanity should combine to suffer. It is the office of S. S. 8. to cure contagious blood poisoning. For that disease the medicine is surely a s|>ecific. Aud it is also its office to cure mercurial and other mineral pois oning. In shortS. S. S. is the great blood purifier. It destroys the germs of the contagious uisease, aud expeii from the system all forms of mineral poisoning. It restores health and strength to the sufferer. Now is the time to Btd>i<cril>e. Angry Spectators a Circus. A circus and wild west show went to Knoxville, Tenn., for a week’s stand. On the third night the large audience present began to jeer some of the performers. As the audience became more aud more excited it worked its way into the space reserved for (lie show. All attempts to force the crowd hack were fruitless, and several fights resulted. Fiualy a clown moun ted a block and begau singing a song. Hu had sung one verse when some one hit him square lit the mouth with a brick bat. He fell senseless to the ground and was dragged away by his companions. By this time eveything was in an uproar. Women screamed and a mad rush was made for the exit. The po lice wete powerless. Scores were knocked down and trampled on. The manager of the show gqfc on a stand aud attempted to quiet the mob with a speech, aud lie, like the clown, was knocked down. At this point the riot spirit took command. Everything in sight was siezed and wrecked. The band instru ments were smashed fiat. Tne seats were torn down and Broken. Some one cut the ropes aty’i the big tent came down with a rush,) burying 200 or more people in its fo'us. A rush then mado for the dress ing rooms, which were also torn down, leaving the actors and actresses half dressed iu the open air. The side shows were next attacked and wrecked. After wrecking everything the crowd dispersed, and the show people, aided by the police, gathered their traps to gether aud left on a midnight train. About twenty people were .hurt, hut none seriously except the down, whose nose was broken and lower jaw frac tured. James Makes No Mistakes. 1 heard a goo 2 story in New York the other day ou James Gordon Ben nett. “One of the maxims of lien nett’s life,” said a well know.) club man, “is never to make if mistake and, therefore, never have occasion to cor rect one. Bennett makes few errors, lie never acknowledges one. 1 re member a few years ago he went into his club on Christmas day for dinner. It was his usual custom to give his waiter #5 on Christmas, lie hud two small rolls of money in his pocket. One contained five $1 notes, the other five SI,OOO notes. When Bennett had finished lie handed the waiter one of the rolls of money without examin ing it, presuming it to be s•’). The waiter thanked him and shoved it into his pocket without examination. After the great editor had gone the waiter drew forth liis roll of hills and discov ered to his supprise five SI,OOO hills. He was actually frightened, and went to the steward, giving him the mouey to lock up in the safe until Mr. Ben uett returned, stating that he knew Mr. Bennett must have made a mis take. “A few days later Bennett returned to the club The waiter aud the stew ard called him back into a rear apart ment and handed him the roll of bills, both stating that lie must have made a mistake. At this Bennett straighten ed himself with an air of indignation and replied. “James Gordon Bennett makes no mistakes,” and strode out.—Atlanta Constitution. What It Would Do.

Nearly all tlu* Big Professionals the World over Have Lost Money. Some people know, all do not, that this year the great professional grain speculators the world over are being worsted. With very few excep tions. the rich men in the trade have front the very outset been disbelievers in high prices. That has been the case here, ut Minneapolis, aud at New •York. There are less than a dozen rich professionals speculators, local men, who take lines of importance to make litem at times leaders—Ream, Cudahy, Bloom, Linn, Roclte, Kent, Pool, George Smith, llutckhison. George Smith has been a pronounced “hull” and has made a great deal of money 011 the advance. Hutchinson had been a “hull” in his views and is supposed te have mado money, hut lie h'>s not bet. his opinion streight out. lie lias “straddled,” and gotten in and gotten out and every such hedge has cost money. The others have stuck to the opin ion that it was to be the ordinary sort of a year ; have believed that no un usual prices could be gotten for so fine a crop as was advancing and have tried the short side. There were lines of “short” taken in Saturday which took two hours to cover aud which must have aggregated millions of bushels. In the Northwest there has been hut one “bull” among the rich men in the trade—Ptllsbury. 'Lite others among the flour millers and grain elevator men have, as a rule, been wrong. Who have on the “hulls?” It is harder to say. It has beeu the many against the few. While the losses on the “short” side have been large, the winning have been divided into innumerable shares, none of them very large. People iu the casli trade have had a great advan tage. They have had the situation disclosed to them. People in the ex port trade ami people witli cash wheat for sale, the elevatorr owners and others, have been made “hulls” by the orders they have received and the bus iness they have done. As a rule they have made money. Williams, Dunn and Raker are the best examples of this class. There has, however, been no little timidity among the exporters and elevator owners. There has been one crowd at New York which has been very successful. It has been led by a man who is fa mous for betting profits. Quinlan got his people headed right, and tit ‘y were w ise enough to let their broker press their luck for them. St Louis lias been very wrong; wrong from the start. The professionals down there, like the big men here, have had their eyes on the fine home prospects and not be lieved in foreign damage- 8t Louis wheat traders have got a good deal less money than they had six months ago. The “art club” is never heard of here nowadays. San Francisco traders, for some rea son or other, have been very “bullish” and very jight. The Frenchmen be gan their buying of cargoes out there. That must have started the pacific coast, men. The amateur speculator the country over has, of course, been bullish. He has had his curiosity roused by the advance; he has dipped in; mirabile dictu, he lias made money. A Foot Race for an Office. Monday last the city election occur red at Waynetown, Montgomery coun ty, O. William Sims and Frank Hollo well tied for the office of treasurer, eaclt gentleman receiving 332 votes. To decide the question as to which should hold the office, there was a foot race yesterday between them. The race was a 200-yards dash and several thousand people wete on the ground betting on the outcome. Sims seemed a sure winner until he tripped and fell within three yards of the goal. Hollowell feR over him hut crawling over the line, won the race, amid the yells and cheers of the crowd.

A Farmer Holds a Mall “At Hay,” John Reardon, a Will county farm er, had a whole barrel of fun the other day, which might have continued in definitely had not the law, personated by Capt. Horace Elliott and a detach ment of his police stationed in the En glewood district, suddenly put a stop to the sport and thereby rescued a Rock Island passenger tiain from a most exasperating dilemma. It is doubtful if any railway history cau boast of an incident so execrucia tingly ludicrous. Iho Rock Island fast express was due in this city at 10.n0 o’clock in the morning. On account of Farmer Rear don’s hilarious obstinacy the train did not reach the city till noon. Farmer Reardon got an early start and stopped at Washington Heights for the purpose of inquiring the shortest wav to Chica go- Some wag told the agriculturist the “shortest way” was along the Rock Island track. A few moments later the fast tnatl dashed around a curve. The engineer sighted the farmer and set the air brakes, ut the same time pulling open the whistle valve. In response to the shrieks of the iron horse, Mr. Reardon turned and shook his fist and made “laces” at, the engin eer, hut turn aside he would not. The train hands consulted and decided that tile obstructionist was a “had man” aud most likely had a gun. The locoiuo tive was sent ahead at a slow pace aud once actually bumped against the old farmer’s wagon. But he wouldn’t pull out, aud the procession moved slowly towards the city. AtSoutli Englewood a dispatch was sent Captain Elliott, and a great rush was made by that officer and his men to rescue the fast mail. At the police station Reardon said lie had “the right of way and didn’t propose to get out of the way of any gosh-blamed ingine.” —Chicago Times. Getting u Pointer. A Macolt County farmer who was ou the market with vegetables the other morning was accosted by u young man, who explained : “f have a [latent hay-fork which I am going to travel with this summer, and I should like to get a few pointers from you to start on?” “Pinters, eh ? Wall, what sort ?” “How shall I approach the average farmer. “Wall, you’ll generally fiud him in the field.” “Yes.” “Just tell him iu a pleasant way what you've got.” “Yes.” . “He’ll ask yon up to the ham to talk it over.” “I see.” “Biit don’t you go. Instead of that make a bee line for your buggy, climb in and scoot your boss as fastks he kin go for the next six miles.” “But why ?” “Oh, nuthiii' much. I only killed six myself last week, but you know it rained purty steady for two days and travel was light.—Free Press. A Czar Hotel Keeper. The most autocratic hotelkeeper in the wot Id is in Orland, Colusa county. I was preparing to go out one night, when he said to me : “Be back before 9 o’clock.’’ “Why ?" 1 asked. “Because I go to bed at that time, and if you are not hack you won’t get in, that’s all.’’ “Give me my key,” I said. “I won’t stop in such a hotel ” “Oh, ho! you won’t, won’t you ? Where else are you goiug ? There is no other hotel in this town, no other stable aud no other store. You can’t buck agin me. You lie back, now, by 8:30 p. m.” I looked at the old brute, and con cluded I had better stay. I sat down and he came around and affably ques tioned me. “Look here,” 1 eaid, “1 have to stay in your hotel, but I don't want to be bothered with you. So keep your questions to yourself.” “I’ve half a mind to tell you to leave. Can’t I speak to a man in my' own house ?” Wealth is sup[K>sed to give ease, but what if the possessor happens so have chills?
