DR. C. McLANE'S
CELEBRATED
LIVER PILLS,
FOR THE CURE OF
Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint,
DYSrEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
PAIN in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. * The
stomach is affected with loss of appe
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss of mem
ory, accompanied with a painful sen
s"‘ion of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
weariness and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly sensa
tion of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer
cise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex
isted, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the liver to
have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
Dr. C. McLane’s Liver Pills, in
Cases of Ague and Fever, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them a fair trial.
For all bilious derangements, and as
a simple purgative, they are unequaled.
beware of imitations.
The genuine are never sugar coated.
Every box has a red wax seal on the lid,

ABOUT PRINT UK'S.
I wish 1 was a printer,
I really do indeed ;
It seems to me that printers
Get everything they need—
(Except money.)
They get the largest and the best
Gf everything that grows,
And get free into circuses,
Aud other kind of shows—
(By paying an equivalent.)
At ladies’ fairs they { re almost hugged
% pritty gills who know
That they will praise up everything
The ladies have to show—
(That’s so.)
And then get a blow out free
At every party feed,
And the reason is because they write,
And other people read.

A Woman Cured by Prayer.
The quiet village of Startford has
been having a little sensation on its own
hook in the healthy way. The matter has
been kept very quiet and until now the
particulars cf the case have never been
made public. A widow of that place,
aged about forty-two, has been confined
to her bed for about three years with
painful disease, contracted, as is suppos
ed, by overwork. She has been treated
by a number of prominent physicians
without success, and had almost despair
ed of relief. Hearing of the prayer cure
of Mrs. Mix, of Welcottville, she began
thinking about calling upon her for as
sistance, and had made up her mind to
do so, when a thought occurred to her
that what Mrs. Mix could do by prayer
and faith she also might do by the same
means. She resolved to try the experi
ment, and for about a week prayed that
she might be made whole. At last she
claims, her prayers wore answered. She
felt a peculiar thrill run through her,
and immediately afterwards she arose
from her bed and walked. She called
out and her friends and neighbors rush
ed in, and were surprised by the sight
of the sick woman standing upon her
long unused feet, and able to walk.
The lady afterwards attend church,
manifesting great joy over her sudden
recovery. This was about three weeks
ago, and she has since remained as well
as ever. She had been under medical
treatment in New York and New Ha
ven, but had abandoned it some time
before her sudden cur e.—Bridgeport

How the Census Will be Taken.
The circular recently published by
the Secretary of the Interior, giving
the particulars in regard to the organi
zation of the census service states that
the census is to be taken under the di
rection of officers to be styled supervis
ors of census, one or more for each
State and Territory, not exceeding one
hundred and fifty for all the States and
Territories, to be appointed by the
President, by and with the advice of
the Senate. Application for appoint
ment to position of supervisors may be
addressed to the Secretary of the Inte
rior but nomination will not be made
before December next. The actual
work of enumeration within each super
visor’s district will be performed by of
ficers styled enumerators who will be
disignatcd to the superintendent of cen
sus at Washington by the supervisors
Application for the appointment of
enumerators should be addressed to the
supervisor of the district in which the
applicant resides. The enumerators will
not be allowed more than 4,000 popula
tion each, and therefore the work will
be speedily done. The census office at
Washington has been organized by the
appointment of Mr. F. A. Walker .su
perintendent ot census. No appoint
ment and clerkship in that office, not
already determined upon, will be made
prior to may Ist, 1880. Applications
for appointment in the census office will
therefore be in ample season if received
at the Department of the Interior by
April 10, 1880. No preference in ap
pointment will be given to any one by
reason of earlier application. Appoint
ments in the census office will be made
only upon examination, to determine
the qualifications of the applicants for
the positions sought-

the question where the soul of his
dead brother had gone.
“His well-known piety,” said the
preacher, “indicates dat he died a

DAWSON. GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 19, 1879.
What will he do With It.
{Macon Telegrph.]
The Ordinary of Dooly county is in
a ludicrous predicament. Some time
since, becoming alarmed at the confla
gration that destroyed the court house
of Worth county, together with the re
cords, he purchased of a Northern firm
a safe of sufficient size to accommodate
the books and archives of his own coun
ty. The safe is about six feet deep,
ten feet high, and ten feet long, re
sembling very much one half of a
freight car, weighs some nine thousand
pounds, and is entirely fire-proof. It
was and slivered a month since in Monte
zuma, about twenty miles from Vienna,
its destination. How to transport it
over these remainiug miles of hill and
dale, at once became the popular conun
drum. A contractor was found, how
ever, who, for and in consideration of
the sum of one hundred and fifty dol
lars, agreed to undertake the job, and
a week since, after infinite labor, it was
gotten on four wheels and drawn by
twelve mules moved out of Montezu
ma in good order. Some three miles
out the safe got tired of riding and sat
down to rest. Since that time it has
remained in the public road, the ve
hicles passing having to take the woods.
In spite of repeated efforts, no human
power has yet succeeded in budging it
an inch. The concern still occupies
the road, looking in the distance like a
dismounted photograph gallery.
Agreeable to the popular will, three
commissioners were appointed, it seems,
to take charge of the affair; these com
missioners have issued a circular dated,
“headquarters of the Dooly county
safe.” in which a reward of $ 100 is of
fered for any plan suggosted by which
the concern can be moved to its desti
nation at a small cost.
Your correspondent visited the scene
a day since, and was received with much
courtesy by the chairman of tho com
mittee, whom he found asleep inside;
was shown the various plans which had
been so far submitted, together with
the answers and objections which had
bcn attached and filed preparatory to
a report. A copy of these answers is
herewith submitted; perhaps someone
else can come to the rescue:
M. LEVELHEAD, ESQ. NO. 1.
“Build a railroad from the safe to
Vienna.”
This proposition, while practical, is
not, we think, advisable ; it would add
about two hundred thousand dollars to
the original cost, and make the safe
worth more than the county; the safe is
for the county, not the county for the
safe.
(Signed) Commissioners.
R. C. WATERHOUSE —PLAN N0.2 *
“Dig a canal and float her out.”
This idea is a good one, but nothing
smaller than a river steamer will “float
her.” Besides, it is uphill all the way,
and it is about as easy to run the safe
up as the water.
[Signed[ Commissioners.
TRIP LIGHTLY, ESQ PLAN NO. 3.
“Make a summer resort out of it and
apply the revenue derived towards the
purchase of another safe.”
[Signed] Commissioners.
R. ROUNDTREE, t. T. THOMAS (SIMUL
TANEOUSLY RECEIVED)— PLANS NOS.
4 AND 5.
“Move Vienna up to the safe.”
The Commissioners thought of this
plan, which would necessitate but a
small outlay, but the fatal objection is
that the court-house ot Dooly would
then be over in Macon county; this
would be an unequal distribution of
Court-houses, and might provrke orit
ieism.
[Signed] Commissioners.
E Bailliant, Esq:—plan no. 6.
“Rig up a balloon containg 30,000
square yards of silk, get Matt. 1 horn
ton, of Atlanta, to supply the gas, and,
with a block and tackle float it off. ’
The commission never thought of
this before, and don’t think much of it
now, still the plan has some good
points. The chief objection seems to
be the amount of silk and knowledge
how far up the safe will go when it
starts. There is an uncertainty, also,
how far down it will come when it de
scends; if anything happens, it seems
to us that a safe of this description fall
ing a couple of miles would make a
mountain of everw valley in China, and
shoot the islands of Polyp mesia into
eternity. We are not of the narrow
minded class who believe that the
“Chinees should go.” We don’t think
No. 6. a safe plan.
[Signed] Commissioners.
P. NOSEGAY, ESR. PLAN NO. 7.
“Fit up the concern with a boiler
and smoke-stack, and run it as a road
wagon.”
We don’t think the plan will work:
the machine wouldn’t hold steam
enough to move it; besides a burglar
could at any time afterwards come
down the smoke-stack and steal the
archives.
[Signed.] Commissoners.
These are all the returns received
up to date. In the meantime the Com
missions reside in the safe and pass the
time playing old sledge, or fishing in
the neighboring creeks. It is now be
lieved that an effort will be made at
the next meeting of the Legislature to
change the county line so as to include
the safe in Dooly; in which event, Plan
No. 4 and 5 will be adopted and Vienna
moved up to the safe.

A Skull as si plaything.
Recently tho head of Frank Tolls,
the leader of a band of highwaymen,
was borne into Cheyenne, W. TANARUS., aud
exhibited to a jubilant crowd. There
are further interesting points in rela
tion to that head. When the citizens
bad taken a good look at the thing it
was buried on a prairie in the outskirts
of the town. In passing over the prarie a
few evenings ago G. P. Clark saw the
skull dancing along and hobling up
and down among the cactus bushes.
Clark’s hair stood on end. Cold chills
struck him. When he reached Chey
enne he was as white as a sheet. Eve
rybody scoffed at his story, but a few
were induced to go out and take a look.
They, too, saw the skull flitting hither
and thither. Next morning a large
crowd went out to investigate. There
again was the moving skull. The bold
est in the party approached. He drew
nearer and nenrer. All at once a little
prairie dog bounded from the skull and
shot away into its hole near by. The
prairie dogs had appropriated the
highwayman’s bead for a plaything.
How it Feels to Jump Niagara.
Peer, the man who jumped into Ni

must have gone about eleven feet into
the water when I encountered the un
der-current, but I did not go into it.
As it caught me it threw me fiat on my
back, and in that position I was carried
very swiftly about twenty-two feet be
tween the two currents, and the feeiing
to my back was just as though I had
been drawn quickly over a rough board
table, but no evil effects followed. I
had my eyes open, and, looking up,
could see the bridge through the water.
My life-preserver saved me after I went
under the water. Realizing that I
must be about my business, I threw up
my hands, paddled a little, and instant
ly rose to the surface.”

FULL PARTICULARS OF
THE BIOT.
Tho War Near Savannah.
Yesterday morning at 9:40 o’clock
a colored excursion party left Savannah
on a train of the Atlantic and Gulf
railroad, chartered by the excursion for
the occasion, for Mclntosh Station, No.
3, on the road. The train was under
charge of conductor Henry Brighton,
and the party numbered about oue hun
dred and fifty males and females.
At No. 1 the train was boarded by a
body of negroes armed with muskets,
cross belts and bayonets, but not regu
larly uniformed, with the exception of
the Captain. The force comprised three
non-commissioned officers, who wore
side arms, eight privates and the Cap
tain, and accessions were made to the
crowd at the next station. On reach
ing No. 3 quite a number of colored
people from the surrounding country
were found assembled. The party soon
disembarked and proceeded to the plat
form, a short distance from the track,
where dancing was inaugurated. The
day passed without disturbance until
about two o’clock, when a difficulty oc
curred on the platform between a Lib
erty county negro and one of the ne
groes who had come from No. 1, which
created excitement. After some trou
ble the party were separated, and the
Liberty county negro started to leave
the platform.
Just at this juncture the Captain of
the armed negroes, named Randall, who
had been drilling bis squad some eighty
yards from the platform, perceived the
commotion, and without knowing the
cause’, gave command to his gang to
charge at double quick into the crowd,
which was obeyed with alacrity. A
scene of the wildest confusion ensued,
as the infuriated negroes rushed wildly
forward. A number of men were
knocked down, clubbed and bayoneted,
but were not, so far as could be ascer
tained, seriously injured. The Liberty
county negro alluded to was struck over
the head with muskets and stabbed with
bayonets. He succeeded, however, in
escaping from his enemies, aud fled
rapidly down the track, hotly pursued
by the entire body of armed negroes,
who finding lie was distancing them,
drew pistols and commenced firing at
him. The unfortunate fellow was
struck several times, and being corner
ed by the Captain, was stabbed by that
warrior in the throat with his swoi'd,
and fatally injured. The attack of the
negro troops excited the other negroes
from Liberty county, and a general me
lee followed, the firing becoming indis
criminate. Some of the Savannah ne*-
groes participated in the skirmish, tak
ing sides with the negroes from No. 1,
but the majority, we learn, refrained
from any active part in the affair. An
other negro was shot and carigd off be
hind a house near tho track, where he
died in a few minutes Our informant
states that there were three or four
hundred shots fired, and it is a marvei
that more were not killed. All the ne
groes seemed to have weapons of some
kind, and as the firing was promiscu
ous, it is not improbable, considering
the crowd, that the casualties were
greater than could be ascertained in the
confusion that prevailed.
The negro company becoming alarm
ed at the vigor of the onslaught of the
Liberty county negroes, sought refuge
in the cars, which were quiikly filled
with the other excursionists, and the
conductor was besought to get out of
the way. Before the train could be
moved, however, the Liberty county ne
groes made a rush forward and threat
ened to tear up the track to prevent the
train leaving, stating they were deter
mined to have Randall and lynch him
Conductor Brighton, who remained
perfectly possessed and cool, warned
them that if they attempted any damage
to the track it would be at their peril,
as with the train force he would protect
the property of the company. His de
termined manner had the effect of de
terring the negroes from carrying out
this threat, and they then asked if they
would be allowed to take Randall from
the cars.
Conductor Brighton replied that he
bad no objection, provided they had
a proper officer to make the arrest, but
he would not allow any charge to be
made into the cars.
Meanwhile preparations had been
made to leave, the switch was thrown
open and the whistle blown, when the
maddened and baffled negroes made a
dash for the platform of the rear car
with the intention of gaining entrance
and securing Randall. A negro be
longing to the No. 1 crowd blocked the
doer and endeavored to keep the crowd
back, when he was shot in the side and
out with a razor across the left leg, be
low the knee, in a most fearful manner
and tu nblcd to the floor bleeding pro
fusely.
VOL. 16-NO 15.
The train then moved off, and the
negroes running alongside, the track,
fired two or three vollios into the cars,
when a negro, named Adams, living in
Savannah, but a former member of the
negro troop from No. 1, was shot en
tirely through the body. The firing
was continued until the train w.°s be
yond reach, after which the trip to the
city was made without further trouble.
The negro warriors from No. 1, especi
ally “Captain Randall,” were thorough
ly frightened and kept very quiet until
No 1 was reached, when they quickly
left the cars. The negro who was shot
and cut with a razor bled to death
shortly after No. 2 was passed, and the
body was left at No. 1, to which place
the deceased belonged.
Adams, the negro who was shot
through the body, was brought to Sa
vannah, and was carried off by some
friends, but where could not be ascer
tained. He is very badly Wounded, but
manage to walk, and stated when be
left the cars he wanted a surgeon.
As an explanation of the unprovoked
and outrageous conduct of the armed
negroes in charging Upon the crowd, it
is proper to state that on a previous oc
casion at a picnic at the same place
some difficulty occurred between negroes
from Liberty and Chatham county,
which engendered considerable ill feel
ing. We are informed that as soon as
it was learned that there would be a
colored excursion from Savannah at No.
3, messengers were sent out to drum up
the negroes in Liberty county living
near the station and get them to attend
the picnic. The negroes from No. 1
have, it appears, some enmity against
their brethren in Liberty, and the arm
ed band from that place evidently an
ticipated trouble yesterday. Being on
the lookout for a rumpus, Randall, on
the first commotion, without stopping
to inquire the cause, made the attack
as stated. —Savannah Netos.

Why “Every Man at Some Time or
Another Desires to Commit Sui
cide.”
(Cincinnati Enquirer, Paris Letter.]
In no city arc there more numerous
and more varied “professors” than you
find in Paris. I saw it announced last
night as I was walking along from the
Northern Railroad depot, where you ar
rive coming from London, that “Pro
fessor Sonndain” would lecture on “Su
icides.’’ What was meant by this an
nouncement seemed to puzzle the crowd
outside the door. I paid my two francs
and entered. I found, to my surprise,
a very largo number of persons already
seated, and some of looked like an
tiquarians, unsuccessful travelers, suc
cessful and unsuccessful lawyers, poor
and popular novelists, and some stock
brokers and broken-down m rchants,
politicians and poltroons. The “Pro
fessor” promptly appeared oil the p it
form. lie announced his intention to
speak on “Suicide and Suicidal sub
jects.” “Gentlemen,” he boldly said,
“every one of you has at some time or
another, more or less often, thought
and desired to commit suicide!” A
profound silence follows this remark.
The lawyers look at the stock-brokers
askant; the savants peep under their
hands at the travelers and merchants
fumble in their pockets vigorusly, while
politicians and poltroons hang low their
heads. “Yes! every one of you has,
more or less often, contemplated your
suicide, and if there be one present here
capable of honestly saying ‘No’ let him
step up here!” Not one stepped up
not one said “No!” Then the “profess
or” progressed learnodly on the com
mon crime, actual and attempted, con
templated and frustrated. lie said
there was not three per cent, of the
men of the world who had not come to
consider suicide more or less near com
petion, and more provoked and pre
vented alike by cowardice. He had
gone into the question for years and in
various countries. There was a larger
percentage of married men in this list
of cowards than in single and larger
proportion of lawyers than any other
professions. France at one time head
ed the list of suicides, but now England
and Germany could “favorably com
pete 1 ” America in the Northern and
New England States was almost equal
to Germany, but France was still ahead
of all nations in the refinement as well
as the roughness of the suicidal mania.”
(Loud chters.) “Go into any commu
nity of truthful-speaking men and ask
them how many will step up and say
‘no’ to my first question! Go east, go
west, go north and go south and you
will get but one answer if men speak
truly.” The “professor” then went
into a scientific why and wherefore of
this and laid the burden of the cow
ard’s crime at the door of “money and
Jove!”
