They are Invaluable to Eemales!
Are a Cordial For the Aged !
And a Sure Protection against
all Malarious Jliseases.
They are undoubtedly Ihe best
Medicinal CortlUd ever offered
to the Public.
They contain nothing poisonous or injuri
ous to the system, but are composed of en
tirely vegetable substances. These Bitters
make their entry in this couutry unheralded
by any long advertisements, without, puffs
and testimonials,now so fr-quert throuffhout
the country. For LIPPatfAN’S GRA 1 AT
GERJ/AN BITTERS stand solely on their
merits. Their virtues are in the botll.:
In Germany, the home of these Bitters, no
hojsehold cart be found without them. For
over a century, since their first introduction
in that country, no article has been found
to equal them in their quick ard speedy
cures of Genetal Deb lity, Dispepsia, Net
votis Diseases, ami Liver Complaint, and asa
strengthooer and appetizer they ate ac
knowledged by tbs most eminent German
Physicians, to whom these Bitters were first
known, to be the best, purest, and most
wholesome preparation, and the most effect
ual in their curt s.
Every One Should Give Them
a Trial.
Eor the married as well as the unmarried, !
we advise the timely use of a bottle. It w ilt j
save you davs of suffering, cheer your spir- j
its, and give you health and happiness.
These bitters are now taking the plac- j
of the many Ameticau compounds flooding 1
the market, because they are the genuine old
German medicine, one that ha« stood the
test of time, and are destined to become the j
favorite Bitters in America.

Miss Betsy Grimes
Ride lo Columbus.
Miss Betsy resides in the “Alabam.”
Sno gives tho following account of her
first and Inst rido on the cars, during
tho late war. “Joe,” her brother, was
a soldier in the Confederate sendee
“You see my brother Joe, he was
took for a soldier and utter a while ho
took sick and they put him in the hos
pittle, up to Cullumbus. I heern tell
they didn’t hare much to eat up thar;
loestwiso, sech us sick folks hankers
atter, and I felt powerful sorry for
Joe. I wanted to carry him somethin
nice, and I knowed he loved aigs,
abundance. So I thought I’d git him
a basket o’ aigs. But they was mity
skeerce them times, and hard to git.
But howsumdever, by raking around,
under tho clay-roots and bresh-heeps ;
and hoggin and borryin and buy in, I
did manidge at last, to git a baskit
full—seven dozen, The next thing
was to git to him with ’um I dassent
send ’um. Thare was so much stoel
in and pilferin gwine on, you couldn’t
j keep a pig until the ole sow got through
I weaniu of him, people was so hungry,
and times so hard. Then the Gov
urnmint, hit was a takin everything j
hit could lay hits hands on. I heern :
tell if tho war had a hung on a little .
longer tho Govurnmiut hit was a !
gwine to take all the steel hoops outon
the women’s criunerlynes to make
swords outen;. but it didn’t quite
come to that as it happened. Well—
as I was a sayin, I knowed hit want
no use to send them aigs to Joe—not
while things was as they was then.—■
He’d never a got ’um ; tho quarter
masters, or the tax assessmints, or
some o’ that breed would ha’ confisca
ted ’um before they got as fur as Sil
ver Bun. At last I got afeord the
aigs would spile keeping’um on hand
so long ; and so, atter thinking over ,
] it a good deel, and a right smart prar, j
(prayer) I at last got my consent to ,
rido up to Cullumbus on the crittt r—- j
(cars.) I never had rid the critter;
and hit squealed and snorted so, when- j
ever 1 seen hit; and spit, and spewed j
and smoked so. I was powerful
skeerd on it. But I made up my
mind—kill or no kill—let the critter
do what hit would to me. Joe, he had
to have them aigs. So, after all was
ready, I jist happened to remember I
didn’t have nary bonnit. But I went
over to Cousin Sally Grimsos (she’s
one o’ my double cousins—eonyinost a
sister, like) and Lorried horn, to go to
see Joe in. So early Monday mornin,
atter a sleepliss night—you see I
couldn’t sleep on the account o’ study
iu’ about the critter, and wonderin’
what hit was a-gwino to do to mo—l
got on the Critter with fear and trirn
blin; and thar I sot on one o’ them
sofys (seats) waitin’ to see how hit
would be. I tell you, I was skeerd !
1 eenymost had ur ager—l trimbled
so. Presently, tho critter, hit squeal
ed, and Mowed, and give a jerk and a
jump ; and then hit hollered and off
hit went! —my Lord ! The jerk hit
throwed the baskit o’ aigs out o’ my
lap; but tho baskit lit, handle-side
up, on to the floor, and thar hit sot,
jist like’s if 1 had put it thar, ur pur
pus. And then tho critter, hit jist
runned away ! I looked around lor
Bob Coleman. I had heern tell that
the critter would mind him, and he
could stop hit. But Bob was nowliars
to be found ! Seein I had to help
myself, thar bein no other refuge. I
jest stretched out both ways as fur as
I could retch and cot hold o’ the top o’
the sofy in front of me with one hand,
and the top of tho sofy behind me,
with the other hand, and thar I sot,
and hilt on with all my might. I tell
you sir, 1 hilt my holt (held my hold)
that time, you bo bound ! And the
critter, hit jest top agwine, faster, and
faster, and faster ! Hit looked like, j
the harder I hilt my liolt, the faster
hit would go, tryin’ to make mo break
my holt. Faster and bister hit went, !
’twel it eenymo ;t tuck my breath ; and
the fences, and the trees, they would
dash up to the winders, like mad ;
and I spected every minit tney’d come
in; and I leent over, fur as l could J
retch outer the way ; aud 1 don’t see
twel yit, how they could cumo up so
uloste and so velocious, and stop,
’thout comin in. But sir ! 1 hilt my
holt ! Atterawhile the wind, hit was
so strong through the winder, my
Cousin Sal’s bonuit, (she’s one o’ my
double cousins, you know ; eenymost
a sister like) —my Cousin Sal’s bonnit,
; hit begin to git restless; ami at last
! hit couldn’t stand it no longer, and hit
(jest broke loose from round my neck,
and tore out o’ tlio winder ! Es I
. could ur seen Bob Coleman, I would
ur got Bob to stop the critter long
I enough to ur got the bonnit; for it
J was Cousin Sal’s ouliest one slio had
to go to church in, down to Ebouczer.
[I feokin you’ve bin to Ebeuezer
church, haint you ? It’s got glass
winders into it, eight of ’uin—with
green slietters to ’urn.] Well as I
was a savin, I looked all around for
Bob, to git him to speak to the critter

they all a laffin fit to kill thayselves.
But I didn’t keor—l want ur study in

1 ter hit appeared like hit was jist on
tho pint o’ doin somethin uncommon,

tn and fizzin, like mad. But sir ! I
I hilt my holt! There was one good
I man on the critter—he didn’t lass like
j tho rest on ’uui. He got up, and pick

und put um back in the baskit; and
tuck my liandkercher from round my
neck, (for I wouldn’t break my holt,
come what would,) and tied the baskit

couldn't hear me, so, I jest lookod up
in his face, and smilt (smiled.) But
sir! I hilt my holt! Attorawhile wo

when the critter got thar, hit would
fly over, and hit did ! Jest ai I seen
hit was about t@ rise up at the water’s
aidge, I shut my eyes and went to
prar, and presently tho critter lit, and
squealed, and thar we was in Cullum
bua ; and then hit stopped. But sir,
I never broke my holt, the whole for
ty miles. Soon as I started up Broad
Street almost, who should I meet but
Joe hisself! He was a little better
that day and they had unlocked the
hospittle, and let him out, on a furlow
to take a little walk. Soon’s ever he
seen me, “Why ! Lord ! Bets,” sez he
“is that you ! Why gal! I’m glad to
see yer !”—and the tears sprung outon
his eyes, nnd outon mine too—l couldn't
hope it. “Howdy, Joe !” sez I—“and
I’m glad to see you too, Joe,” sez I.
“Lord ! Gal !” sez he, “don’t holler
so ! Ycuso in Cullumbus now, gal!”
“Is Ia hollurin ?” sez I, “I thought I
was jest a whitperin.” You see tho
critter hit kep such au almity fuss, it
made me rite does; and I didn't know
I was talkin loud a Lit —not moi - e than
ordnary. And then says I, “Joe,
here’s some aigs I’ve fetched you,
boy; but I expeck every.last one of
urn’s broke—the critter hit rolled um
about so ” And Joe, he was power
ful proud to git the aigs, for sez he,
“I tell you Bets, I’m pretty nigh
starved, gal, and my teeth’s all outen
order, tryiu to chaw tho bull beof they
lias up here ; and as to tho water —
Old Lives (pronounced as if it were

cousins—eenymost a sister like) and
another one for myself Bnt Boh
Coleman he sent her other bonnit

he gin mo tho money to go back homo

Okigin of tuk Ku-Klcx. —A word
about the Ku-Klux. There is no such
order now in existence. Those claim
ing to represent it are simply bandits
The genuine Ku-Klux never existed out
side of Tennessee, and existed there
only to a limited extent und for a brief
period. The government had with
drawn its protection from the people.
Brownlow had organized a troop of
roving militia, composed chiefly ot ne
groes, and officered by convicts whom
he had pardoned out of the State pris
on for the purpose. Women and I
children were being murdered every
day and night in cold blood. No
home was secure. No life was safe.
The courts were closed against the
people. The few laws that were al
lowed to remain on the statute books
were denied them. The middle of
the State was in complete anarchy,
and self-protection was the only secu
rity within reach of citizens. The Ku-
Klux-Klan was a purely defensive or
ganization. It numbered the oldest,
best aud most peaceable men. Its
spirit was judicial, its acts were order
ly, aud its purpose was self-preserva
tion. Through its brief but benign
influence, order was restored, legal re
dress was granted, the official rubbers
and assassins dispersed, and society
settled into its uoimal state. Then
tlio Ku-Klux-Klan vanished as mys
teriously and noiselessly as it had ap
peared, and we pray God it may nev
er again become indispensable to the
peace of any neighborhood in any part
of the Union. —Louisville Courier Jour

Wcu. Jordan’sCnban New*.
Gou. Jordan, in a conversation with
the New York Standard reporter, sum
med up tlu> result of the winter cam
paign as follows:
Tho Spaniards at the beginning
had 8,000 troops, of whom 900 were
killed. He declared that the Cubans
had only lost 03. lie states the great
want of tho Cubans is arms, arid for
which he has come. lie brings along
a negro officer, who served during the
campaign, in order to convince Mr.
Sumner that this is really an anti-sla
very contest. The Cubans are now
manufacturing their own gunpowder,
and have ammunition in abundance.
Soldiors and citizens are suffering for
want of clothing. After the battle of
Los Minor, the Cubans dug up the
Spanish dead to socure their clothes.
There has never been more than twen
ty Americans in the army. The ne
groes make splendid soldiers, fighting
like demons. The climate is death on
Luropoans. The Spanish force num
bers about 40,000 regulars and 25,000
volunteers, the latter -worthless except
for garrison duty. The Spaniards in
variably shoot every man taken pris
oner. General Jordan Says he never
retaliated or put a prisoner to death.
Ho invariably pardoned all. Gun
boats are useless failures. The Span
iards say they are more Yankee con
trivances, and are afraid to uso them.-
The campaign for tho season being
over, he thought he would come home.
Ihe only want of tho Cubans is arms;
with a full supply he could get suffi
cient force and make short work of
the Spanish power. If he could got
them ho would drive the Spaniards
into Havannah.
Gen. Jordan is reported to hava
said to a reporter of tho New York
Sun:
1 1 did not hear one of the Cubans’
express an opinion adverse to the an
nexation of the island to the United
States, but a universal, strong desire
that it should become a State of the
l- nited States. This expression of
opinion was in no wise due to my be
ing an American, for at first it was
fancied I might be opposed to such a
measure. Nor was it due at all to’
any sense of the necessity for their
success in the struggle with Spain,
but had its origin in the general be
lief in tho country that only as a State
in the Union could Cuba ever have
proper industrial, commercial and ag
ricultural developments.

V* e published several mouths since!
an item sottiug forth that a girl only
eleven years ot age had become a
mother, in Howard Lake Township
Wright county. This item wei.t the
roun.ls ol the papers, and was received
wito different degrees of belief. We
are now enabled to state that this'
chill woman, with her infant, is now
in this city Wo “interviewed” her
yesterday, and found her of medium
size for her age—rather good looking
with light blue eyes and dark haia.
Slie is four feet eight and three-quarter
inch high, and weighs eighty pounds.
The child weighed seven pounds five
ounces when it was born, on the 28th 1
of December last and now pulls fifty
pounds. It“ favors the mother” in
its looks, and is as good-looking as the
average of babies of the same age.
The real name of the mother is Be
nolia B. Will ins, and tho child is to
to bo called > av Twiight.
The lather of tho child is John
Slaughter, who was boarding in the
family for nearly a year before the
birth of the child. He is about thirty
five years of age, and has now gone to
parts unknown, having previously ac
t nowledged that he seduced the moth
er.
We forbear to state where the fam
ily is now residing, for fear there
would be too great a rush of curious
visitors. W e are aware of but one
similar case, which occurred, we be
lieve, in Tennessee, where a girl of
the sair e age gave birth to a child by
her own grandfather, who is now pro
pitiating the offonse in prison.
The last Ku-Kiux outrage in Geor

gle, captured.
