DAWSON, GA.
e ———————————————————————————
Tue little fish of the Central railroad
are now in great dread of the Wall street
sharks. :
Tue word “*mortgage” ought to be de
fined by its literal meaning. *Mort”
means death, and -‘gage’” means grip,
the two together meaning ‘‘death grip.’
SULLIVAN,® Slavin and Mitchell, all
noted sluggers, are anious to fight each
other. Let the law that limits such con
tests to soft gloves be abolished, and
then let the brutes fight to the death.
CoroNeL Brruy Humparies, the lat
legislator from Brooks, has wisely con
cluded that he is not big enough to fill
Mr. Turner’s seat in Congress, and will
not worry the voters of the new district
by urging his ‘“‘claims” for the position.
AN exchange calls attention to the fact
that the Browns appear to be on Hill's
side, while the Joneses are for Cleveland.
The Memphis Appeal, however, adds the
warning that as long as the Smiths are
not polled it would be foolish to bet on
the result.
No doubt about the defeat of Roger
Q. Mills being brought about in some
some way by a trade to advance the
chances of Hill for the presidency. Tar
itf reform was staggered when its ablest
champion was stricken down in order
that the small fellows might ride for the
time on the top wave,
FrANK Hurp, the great Ohio tanff
Democrat, wants to put Cleveland in
nomination at the Chicago convention.
Frank would do the tking very grace
fully, but he is unlucky. Let Dan
Lockwood put the old man in nomina
iion. -It he who nominated him for
sheriff; mayor, ' president—the first
time—and he always got elected. Dan
Dougherty, the unfortunate fellow who
nominated Hancock at Cincinnati, did
the same thing for Grover at St. Louis.
and he got badly left. Prance out Dan
Lockwood; he may not equal the silver
tongued idol of Ohio, but he always gets
his man in.
It doesh’t follow beoause a man is not
in his right mind that he is not capable
of making money. At least, that is the
testimony of an eminent expert in insan
ty. who testified in the Field case in New
York the other day. This experttold of
a patient of his own who had made
something like a million dollars during
the past twelve years, during which time
he has been undoubtedly insane. This
appears not to have been an exceptional
case, either, as this doctor informed the
jury that he had known a great many
Innatics who were still in active busi
ness, and who had been marvelausly sue
cessful financially, Such testimony is
calculated to excite incredulity, but, as
it comes from anexpert, we suppose it
will have to be taken for gospel truth,
Toym ReED had a chance to ceta Haood
one’’ on the Demoeratic party, the oiher
day, and he didn’t fail to do it. He re
ceived a letter from a Montana Demo
crat stating that he had bet a Republican
five hundred dollars that this Congress
had adopted the Reed rales in respect to
counting a quorum. Reed was asked to
reply, as the bet had been made to be de
eided by him. On the same sheet of
paper the letter came,” came Reed's re
ply: ‘“Tl'he House of Representatives
has not adopted the rules of the fitty
first Congress in respect to a quorum,
but the Supreme Court has. When a
person bets that the Dewmocratie party
will ezercise any sense in anything, he
should demand long odds, Signed: T,
B. Reed.”

WHAT THE NEW YORK PAPERS SAY.
'The New York papers say Hill has
beaten himself.
The World says: The February point
in this game of I;olitir's has been soored,
but what about the far greater contest
in June. Forty-three other States are
vet to be heard from, and even in two
months from now the real fizht for the
nomination will be hardly begun. Sena
tor ITiil has secured the delegation five
months in advance of the national con
vention, and what will he do with it?
The Herald says: Hill has the machine,
but a very large number of Democrats
are vet to be eonvineced that he has the
people. All this show of poweris well
enough in its way, but the party of the
State has a very bitter feud on its hands,
and the aggressive policy of Mr, Hill has
excited a degree of opposition which
renders the vote of the November elec
tion uncertain for himself, though it
drives Cleveland out of the field.
The Times says: The ‘Democratic
Convention at Chicazo will not nominate
Hill. It may ‘‘go West” for its candi
date, or South, or to the Pacific coast.
If it comes to New York it will come for
a man better known aad more respected
than Hill,
The Sun makes no commant on the
Albany convention.
The Tribune says the action of the
mid-winter convention leaves Hill mas
ter of the situation so far as the “‘regular’
State convention, acting under a ‘‘regu
lar” call from the State committee, can
make him master, but it will be under
stood that two delegations are to appear
at Chicago from this State, and where
will Hill be? It may then occur to him
on reflection that his mid-winter conven
tion is too smart a trick by half.
S T
Fiendish Jokers,
The practical joker is generally a £ool
Often he is worse—he is a fiend. Along
with the idiotic tendency of his mind is
a devilish delight in torturing others.
Such people ought to be dealt with by
law,
The New York papers give the history
of Harry Woodson, a minstrel who is
now a maniac—the vietim of practical
jokes, He was, to start with, a nervous
and timid feliow, and not too strong men
tally. Cruel hearted persons took advan
tage of this fact to torture him for their
own delight,
On one occasion while he was asleep a
lay figure was placed by his side in the
bed, the hand of which, covered with a
wet glove, was laid across his face. He
awoke, screaming with fright, and his
tormenters laughed while he lay writh
ing, as he imagined, in the cold and
clammy grasp of a corpse.
On another occasion, as he entered a
dark dressinz-room, a grinning skeleton,
illaminated with phosphorus, confronted
him, lying on a shelf. He fell in spsams,
and while unéonscious the cause of his
fricht was removed and he never knew
whether he had seen a ghost or was tor
mented by some terrible hallucination.
On still another occasion Woodson,
while asleep in his room, was awakened
by a seratching on his door and was hor
rified at seeing a human skull swinging
to and fro near the ceiling. He was too
much frightened to speak, and his tor
mentors also frightened at his silence,
burst open the door. He was found
carled up under the bed clothing insen
sible. = The skull had been tied to a stick
and poked through the open transom by
some foolish trickster who stood on a
chair in the hall just outside the door.
Once he found a marble tombstone
with his name on itin black letters,
glowing with phosphorus, staring at him
from the foot of his bed; then his trunk
was nailed to the ceiling of the house so
he could not move it, and again a sheet
iron stove dropped out of the flies on the
stage a few feet from hm.
The last act in the awful drama was
played on him at Omaha about two
weeks ago. He was warned by his tor
menters not to get on the proper train for
Denver, where the show was to stop
next, because every seat concealed a
fiend waiting to tauke his life. He took
another train and was carried to El Paso,
where he was subsequently found, ahope
less maniac. He isin constant fear of
death in some mysterious and violent
manner, and his mental conditton is at
tributed to the treatment to which he
has been subjected.
Besides a wife, who is an actress," he
has a daughter, five years of age, who is
with her mother,
Could the fiendsin the infernal regions
be more eruel at heart than the brutal
tormenters of this poor fellow?

INOW IS THE TIME.
Now is the time to invigorate and
fortify your constitution, by using a few
bottles of Dr, John Bull's Sarsaparilla.
You need it. Everybody needs to take
the excellent alterative, and blood
cleanser at this season of the year, It
will eure you of weakness, It will give
you strength. It may save you an attack
of pneumonia or other severe spells of
sickness, for at the approach of spring
the system is vexry susceptible to taking
cold unless fortitied by the use of this
remedy. If you are In the habit of tak
ing iodie of potash each spring, try it
this year, dissolved in
’ r
Dr. John Bull's Sarsaparilla
Thus taken, iodide of potash has no evil
after effect on the stomach, liver and
kidneys. Each bottle of Bull’s Sarsapa
rilla contains 48 teaspoonsfull of medi
cine. A half ounce lodide of Potash
added to a bottle of Dr. John Bull's
Sarsaparilla equals five grains to each
tablespoontul, and thus you know ex
actly how much you are taking,
& Alfred Howell, Cairo, 111., writes:
“For years 1 bave been atiicted with an
incurable case of blood disease. Bull’s
Sarsaparilla is the only remedy that
gives me any durable relief. Whenever
I take iodide of potash I always take it
with Bull's Sarsaparilla, It always has
a better effect on my system when mixed
with this Sarsaparilla.”
