CELEBRATED
LIVER PILLS,
FOR THE CURE OF
Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA ANP 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
lor 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.

1 lie Mysterious Murder in New
York.
[New York Sun.]
Mrs. Jane L. De Forrest Hull was
found dead in her bedroom on Wednes
day morning. She lived in Forty-sec
ond street, near Reservoir square. She
was a woman of wealth anfi refinement,
and apparently Had no enemies. She
slept in a bedroom on the parlor floor.
It had two entrances, one from the back
parlar and another from a washroom
that opened in the front hall. Mrs.
Hull’s bed stood against the door of this
washroom. A servant slept in the
basement. Three persons were asleep
in the second story, five in the third,
and three in the fourth. Mrs. Hull
was the wife of a prominent physician.
They were married over forty years
ago, but had not occupied the same
sleeping apartment for years. The hus
band slept in the top story. Neverthe
less their relations are said to have
been pleasant. The wife managed the
household. She kept all articles in her
room, saying she felt herself fully able
to take care of tliem.
On Tuesday night Mrs. Hull played
whist until after 10 o’clock. An hour
later her husband asked whether he
should turn off the gas in the hallway.
She replied that she would do it. Dr.
Hull says that he then went to bed. The
Coroner asked whether the front door
was locked. He replied, “Yes, and
bolted.”
Two of the third story lodgers say
they entered the house within half an
hour. The light had been turned off,
and the Tiallway was dark. From that
time until 5 a. m., three police
officers patrolled Forty-second street,
passing Mrs. Hull’s door at hourly in
tervals. They heard no noise, and saw
nothing unusual. At 5 o’clock, how
ever, one of the two servants descended
from her sleeping apartment in the
fourth floor. She says she found both
the inner and outer front doors open.
She closed the inner door and went
down to the kitchen.
Two hours and a half latter the cock
went up to her mistress’ room to get
money to pay the baker. She found
Mrs. Hull’s dead body strapped to the
bed. Strips of the sheet had been used.
One strip tied to her right ankle, passed
under the bed, and the other end wound
around her ankle, leaving a foot on
each side of the bed. A second strip
was fastened to the bedstead, holding
the feet firm. The door of the wash
room had been opened, so that the left
foot could be tied down. The eloows
were pinoned to the body, and the right
one was tied to the beadstcad. The
neck was bandaged, and a cloth was
wound over both the mouth and the
eyes. All the ligatures were made
from bedclothing and garments found in
the room. There wore slight abrasions
on the face and the body.
Valuable rings had been torn from
Mrs. Hull’s fingers. Her gold watch
and chain were missing. Her purse
was empty, and her trunk had been
broken open and rifled. The missing
property is said to be worth from sl,-
000 to $2,000. It could all have been
carried away in a single pocket, Rich
silverware and costly shawls dresses
were untouched.
Mrs. Hull wore a nightgown and a
flannel petticoat. There were no
marks of a struggle. Her linen was
stainless and untorn, but there were
two drops of candle grease on her night
dress. An overturned water cooler and
a bottle of cologne water lay on the
bed near her head. The pollow be
neath her head was wet with cologne
and water. A second pillow lay at
the bedside against the wall. A third,
flecked with blood, had been flung to
the floor. It had been used in smoth
ering her. There wrs no blood upon
her face. It may have been washed
away. No doorlocks had been broken.
The windows were open, but the shut
ters were tied fast, and are fourteen
feet above the yard. A high fence sur
rounds this yard, hut a careful exami
nation failed to show that it had been
scaled. There were no footprints in
the yard, and no marks on the sills.
Tin I nurderers had left no visible clues.
I)r. Hull says that he became rest
less at about one o’clock, and lighted a
wax candle. He was awake over an
hour, and then went to sleep. e
heard neither outcry nor noise. Mrs.
Hull used a candle similar to the one
found in her husband’s room. It was
half consumed, but the wax has a tinge
of pale blue, and is not identical with
the drops of grease found on the mg
dress. These drops are of a creamy color,
and fell from an adamantine candle,
such candles have been found in anoth
er of the house. When the bandages
were taken from Mrs. Hull’s head the
grease spots were explained. The
murderer had held the candle to his
ic-iiu’s ej-cs, to see whether *hc was

j dead, and in his haste had singed her
brows and lashes. The floor was
strewn with half-burned matches.
Similar matches were found in the
house.
Such are the facts gathered by the
newspaper reporters and police officials
The singed brows and lashes made it
plain that the body was bound after
death. Its position indicated a crime
as horrible as murder, but futher proof
is lacking. There is evidence that the
robbery, possibly the murder, was pre
meditated. Not long ago Mrs. Hull’s
pet dog, a noisy little fellow, was pois
oned. The Tribune reporter says that
the “poisoning must have been done in
the house, as the animal never went
out but once a day, when it accompani
ed Dr. Hull for a short walk in Reser
voir Park.” The use of the water cool
er and cologne, however, would seem
to upset the hypothesis of premedita
tion. They were evidently used in an
effort at resusciation. This effort,
coupled with the singed eyebrows and
lashes, adds almost convincing proof to
the conjecture that the body was strap
ped to the bed after death. Why this
was done is yet to be explained.
A professional thief would hardly
try to bring his victim back to life.
She would be a witness against him,—
Had he committed the murder uninten
tionally he would not carry off jewelry
and a ring so unique iu design that
they could be identified by every con
noisseur. He would get off as soon as
possible, leaving everything, except
money, as he had found it
An unprofessional would hardly have
contented himself with a few articles of
jewelry, even if they were valuable He
would have bagged all he could get,
without thinking of the consequences.
Neither a professional nor an unpro
fessional thief would have put a burn
ing candle close to the cornea to ascer
tain whi t'ier death was there. Many smart
men are unable to determine by the ex
] r ssion of the eye wether a person is
dead.
A muscular man may have smother
ed Mrs. Hull, but another could have
done it. She was very fleshy, and the
night was very warm, and she probably
stopped breathing before her assailant
was aware of it.
The World reports Dr. Hull as say
ing : “I have a vaugue suspicion ot
someone, hut do not wish to implicate
that person until I get stronger evi
dence than I have at present.”
It is said the water cooler was kept
in another part of the house. If so,
the murderer seems to have known its
locality.
As the body was rigid, the murder
must have been committed before three
o’clock.
A Child’s Kiss.
[D. L. Moody.]
I remember one day a business
man came into our association and
said:
“Mr. Moody, there is a man just
come out of the penitentiary whom I
am very much interested in; he is dis
couraged because he can’t get anything
to do. Will you take an interest in
him *”
“Yes, bring him in.’
He brought him in—as fine looking
man as there is in this assembly I
shook hands with him, and told him I
was glad to see him I said, ‘Come, go
home with me, and take dinner with
me.”
The tears started in his eyes. He
did not think I would invite him to my
house, as he had been in a penitentiary.
I introduced him to my little child,
only three years old, and said : ‘Emma,
this is papa’s friend ; I wish you would
kiss him.’
She put her arms around his neck
and kissed him. Then the little girl
went out.
The man looked at me with tears
streaming down his face, and said;
,My heart is broken ; that is the first
kiss I have had since my mother
died.’
It broke his heart to think that a lit
tle child had kissed him.
‘Well, we helped him, and he went
ont into the world, and the last I
heard of him he was being blessed in
publishing the glad tidings of salva
tion. _

The Circumstantial Evidence Against
Moore—The Last Person Seen
With the Murdered Girl—
A Tell-Tale Handker
chief.
(Cor. Columbia Register.]
A young woman, seventeen years of
age, an orphan and not many friends,
leaves her relatives in Pickens county
on aceouut of some bad treatment, as
she told some people along the road of
her fated journey, and is making her
way to some relat ions in Spartanburg
county, to see if she could live among
them in peace and do something for an
honest living. She travels all alone on
foot in a neat, plain dress, and a little
bundle in her hand containing her
worldly goods, and as she trudges her
weary way along, stopping now and
then for a drink of water, she relates
her story of trouble to strangers just
like innocence itself will tell a round,
unvarnished tale and every time the
same. Arriving at the gate of John J.
Moore, not far from her destination, she
inquires the way on to her friends and
asks for a drink of water. She is per
suaded by .Moore to come in the house
and partake of his hospitality. She
eats dinner at Moore’s house, and then
starts on her way. Moore prepares to
accompany her and show her the
way, but she declines—she prefers to
go alone. Moore insists, and goes, with
her in spite of her remonstrances. He
starts off with her, is gone an hour, per
haps, and returns. Nothing is heard of
the strange girl, except from him, that
he went with her a short way and re
turned. This was Thursday, the fifth
day of the present month. On Sunday
following, the mutilated body of a
young woman was found near the road
side, a few hundred yards from Moore’s
house. She had been shot in the breast,
and her throat cut from ear to ear. Her
decaying body exhibited all the evi
dences of having been outraged and
then murdered. Suspicion at once
rested on John J. Moore, a man of bad
character, and who, it is thought, had
more to do in killing Dr Young last
year than the convicted Itolpb. But it
is rot bad character alone which has
brought him to the gallows this morn
ing, but from circumstances so strong
and convincing as to leave no doubt of
his guilt. First, he went with the wo
man against her expressed will A gun
or pistol was hear i to fire by some la
borers near by. Moore was seen by
them going towards the river just after,
barefooted and without his hat. A
handkerchief was found near the dead
body with the print of the young wo
man's teeth in it, and the handkerchief
is identified as Moore’s handkerchief.
“Oh, the handkerchief, the handker
chief!” And then some ear rings and
other jewelry have been found in Moor’s
house, fuppossd to ho hcr’s, and then
last, hut not least, Moore’s manifesta
tions of trouble and anguish about
some matter the day or two after the
girl was killed, and even sending for a
physician, who told him there was noth
ing the matter, all point to liis guilt
and justify a sypathy for his accusers.
Tlic Cumming Clarion tells a story
of the remarkable attachment of a gan
der for a man as follows : “About ten
years since Mr. J. M. Bennett was, by
legal process, declared to be a lunutic,
but being perfectly harmless and inof
fensive was not peat to the asylum.
About three years ago an old gander
took up with him, k and would follow
him wherever he went. In his rambles
through the woods or about the neigh
borhood this faithful body guard al
ways attended him, walking just a few
feet before him, as if to ward off all at
tacks upon his charge, hissing at hogs
or any animal they chanced to meet.
Whenever the old man would stop to
rest or lie down the gander would sit
down near by and remain until the old
man left. While walking along the
road, if be found a grain of com, or
anything that the gander could eat, he
would pick it up and put it into bis
pocket until he rested, and then he
would give it to his companion. When
ever the old man went into the house
the gander would seetn to be wild, and
would make such a terrible noise that
they were obliged to let him in. Just
as soon as he saw his companion he
would become perfectly quiet. A short
time ago he became so troublesome at
night, he trying to get into the house
where his master was, that they killed
him, which we consider a greatout rage/’

Katteree’s Hove.
[Atlanta Constitution.}
East Point, June 14.—East Point
is in a great state of excitement to-day,
Saturday, caused by the elopement,
this morning, of Miss Nollie Walker, a
daughter of Rev. W. T. Walker of this
place, with Mr. G. T. Ratteree. On
the 14th of last March, just three months
ago to-day, the same young man run
away with a younger sister of Miss
Nollie and married her, greatly against
the will of her parents Fortunately,
however, for them she was under age
(14 years) prescribed by law for mak
ing a marriage contract, and her father
accordingly had the marriage set aside.
She willingly came home, and her fa
ther carried her off to some of her dis
tant relatives. Mr. Ilatterec endeav
ored in vain to get her parents’ consent
to let her come back, and although de
feated apparently, he has since con-
ducted himself in a very quiet and
peaceable way. A short history of the
courtship may be interesting, and we
quote from fact received from intimate
and reliable parties. A little over a
year ago, Mr. R. commenced paying
bis respects to Miss Nollie, and her pa
rents, being so much opposed to him,
were not permitted to know about if.
They often met at church, and some
times, by prearranged plans, would
meet at some neighbor’s house, but
wore so sly and shrewd that her parents
never dreamed of such a thing. It
seems that they corresponded regularly,
and Miss Nollie made a confidant of
M iss Laura (her young sister) who, ev
erybody considered no more than a
child, and she was the medium through
whom the correspondence passed. Mr.
Ratteree soon began to whisper sweet
words to Miss Laura, and this resulted
in a misunderstanding between the two
former lovers, which in turn resulted
in a better one with Miss Laura and
Mr'. R., and finally in their elopement.
Being defeated in the first marriage,
with the same cunning and fascinating
way. Mr. 11. again renewed his court
ship with Miss Nollie, but no one ever
thought of such a result. The first
caused a gieat deal of excitement, but
this is so singular, unexpected and ex
traordinary, that everybody is over
whelmed with excitement. It is with
out a parallel. “Truth is stranger than
fiction.” Mr. Walker is absent and
will be for several days. Mrs Walker
went to the city early this morning and
'eft Miss Nollie by herself, and at this
writing is ignorant of the affair. A let
ter to her parents was found in the
road, in which she stated that she loved
her parents, but would die by her lov
er.
A Houston Comity Man on tlic
Horns of an Ox-Narrow Es
cape from Death.
[Hawkinsvillo Dispatch ]
Some day3 since Mr. Thomas Char,-
eey, who lives near Big Indian cieeek,
in Houston county, shouldered his rifle
and went t > the swamp hunting for
squ'rrels. Sosn after en'ering the
swamp his dog tree 1 a squirrel and Mr.
Chancey commence 1 looking for the
game. While thus looking he observ
ed an ox feeding around near by but
did not apprehend any danger from
him. While walking around the tree
he was suddenly an - unexpectedly at
tacked by the ox. He says the first
he knew he found himself being lifted
into the ethereal regions on the horns
o f his oxship. He held on to his rifle,
and the ox continued throwing him up
and catching him, as he descended, be
tween his horns, until finally the ham
mer of his rifle came in contact with a
bush, which discharged the gun and
caused the stampede of the beast.
Mr- Chancey had a narrow escape
from death, as the ball from his r fle
passed under his clothing and burnt the
skin near a vital part of his body.
The ox had been driven out of Mr.
Chancey’s field in the morning, and
it seems he intended avenging himself
upon that gentlman.
As soon as Mr. Chaneey collected
his wits sufficiently—he acknowledges
he was badly scared—he loaded bis rifle
and put out dewn the swamp after his
enemy, which he soon overtook, and af
ter shooting into him two bullets, and
causing the ox to merely switch his
tail, he became exasperated and return
ed to his residence for a more effective
weapon. He saw the owner of the
beast and told him that the beast's
doom was sealed. Mr. Chaneey was
saved further trouble, however, as,
when he returned to the battle field, it
was found that his enemy had gone to
the “happj bunting grounds.”

TIIE TEXAS COWBOY.
Something About the Habits of
that Rare Bird.
[Fort Worth (Texas) Correspondence
of the New York Herald.]
The Texas cowboy is a rare bird.
He is a sort of happy jack of the wil
derness, a dry land sailor, who takes
his fun in large doses whenever he gets
to port—port being to him the nearest
town with a dance house—his fun pure
deviltry. He can yell louder in an un
earthly key, swagger more and swear
harder than any man of his inches on
the continent. His dress is evidently
intended to ape the Mexican counter
feit of the Spanish cavalier, with a
sneaking regard for home convention
alities thrown in. Imagine the conglo
meration ! Having no fixity of form it
is wholly indescribable, and varies with
the whim of the individual. Yet he is
proud of his “make-up,” and pays par
ticular attention to the style of his hat,
boots and spui s. The hat is an elabo
rate affair. Broad leafed, teaselled,
tinselled, it spreads its far-reaching
shadow over the form of its festive own
er a few acres beyond. His only pet
is his horse; his only toy his pistol, but
he would prefer losing his horse for a
and ly to being severed from his six-shoot
er for a moment. All his strength is
in this toy. Like the savage Indian,
when deprived of his weapon (of offense
always, never needed for defense,) his
“heart is on the ground.” A small
boy could thrash him then. Give him
the pistol and “the drop” on a man and
he will rejoice in his ability to ‘bore a
hole in him big enough for a good sized
dog to crawl through,’ as if the boring
process were something to be exceeding
ly proud of. This is oecause cowards
are not hung often enough in Texas,
and the reason they have not been is
because they have been employed and
protected by the cowman who steals,
just like the murderous ward politician
might sometimes be protected by the
dishonest, corrupt district attorney in
some Northern cities. We have had
some very distinguished cowboys in this
part of the world Bill Loiigley, who
killed thirty-seven men in the course of
his brief experience, was a cowboy
most of his time, as was also John
Wesley Bardin, better know as Wes.
Hardin, who has been known to kill a
man for snoring in his sleep. These
miscreants have had no such words as
fair play in their lexicon. If they in
tended to get a quarrel up they first
“got the drop” on their victim, then
bullied him into active resistance, then
shot him “in self-defense.” This sort
of cowboy has been more frequently
seen heretofore than at present, but we
have still a few left.
Amerieus Republican: “A gentle
man from Worth gives us the following
little incident. A neighbor bought a
fine large Cots wo and ram, and turned
him into a pasture with some other
sheep ho had. l’roviousiy he had lost
a number of sheep from the ravages of
dogs. One mcraing, a few days after he
had received his rarnship, he weut to
see to his flock, when he observed the
ram at full tilt hutting something on
the ground- On approaching nearer
he found a dead dog, with every bone,
in his body broken. Near by was a
lamb, hadiy torn and bleeding, that the
dog had attacked It is supposed that
the ram happened to be near and took
the lamb s part. The owner of the dog
wants to reeover the amount of fifty
dollars, saying that the sheep attacked
the dog as he was quietly huuting for
something to eat,”
Dalilonega Signal: “A few days
ago a daughter of Joseph B. Brown,
Esq , of Two Run, was engaged at
work in the field and becoming fatigued
took a scat in the shade of a tree, near
the fence. She had been seated hut a
few moments when she felt fometliing
moving under her, and upon looking
she discovered that she had set down on
a huge rattlesnake. Inhergieat terror
she sprang quickly backward, which
movement doubtles saved her life, as
the reptile was coiled ready to strike.
She gave the alarm, when assistance
arrived and the monster was dispatch
ed.’’ Sitting down on a rattlesnake is
worse, a great deal, than sitting down
on a pin, and the young lady is to be
congratulated on her lucky escape.

and fifty pounds. At times he causes
his whole heart machinery to cease ani
neither its tlirobbings nor pulsations in
his wrist can be detected. He has an
extra breast bone and a spare set of
ribs, which, with the heart, travel about
his body. At timos his abdomen is
covered by this extra set of ribs and
the spare breast bone, and then Ezeki
el is as tight as a barrel. When sitting
down the Doctor's bowels are actiie
and make fifty revolutions —twenty-five
convex and twenty-five concave. When
standing up those internal arrangements
are comparable to the fly wheel in a
young saw mill, for thoy make six hun
dred revolutions, three hundred each
way. The doctor takes his’n straight
with the addition, and sometimes, of a
little sugar, and claims to have traveled
over Europe and America. Thus for
the time the gourd vine stories of the
Ilawkinsville Dispatch are double dis
counted.
The aforesaid doctor was in Dawson
a few days ago, but we did not see him.
Happy Thoughts.
Necessity does the work of courage.
A thousand parties of pleasure do
not leave a recollection worth that of
one good action.
Ambition often plays the wrestler’s
trick of raising a man up, merely to
fling him down.
A mother dreads no memories, tb< so
shadows have all melted away in the

In the man or woman whose child

Smiles are to life what the sparkle
is to nine, or scintillations to the dia
mond, intensifying its beauty and
clothing it iu all the superb hues of
the rainbow.
Few nights are so dark that no
stars are to be seen ; the thing is to
look them out and keep one’s eyes
on them, and make and the most of
what light can be discovered.
The golden moments in the stream
of life rush past us, and we see noth
ing hut sand ; the angels come to vis- •
it us and we only know them when
they are gone.
By love’s delightful influence all
the injuries of the world are alleviat
ed, the hitter cup of afflict i*n is sweet
ness, and fragrant ffi wers are strewed
along t lie most thorny path of life.
Generous a id noble emotions, vivid
feelings and active crercise in the
pursuit of some noble object, rarely
fail to give grace to tlie movements
and a rarer charm than beauty itself
to the face.
Our loves should be like the davs,
more beautiful in the evening, or like
the spring, aglow with promise: or
like the autumn, rich with golden
sheaves, when good works have rip
ened on the field.
Nemesis is lame but she is of co

sometimes while her sword is yet un
sheathed she stretches out her huge
left arm and grasps her victim The
mighty hand is invisible, but the vic
tim totters under the dire clutch.
The human heart loves flowers. The
Persian in the far East delights in
their perfume and writes his love in
nosegays ; while the Indian chief of
the far West claps his hands with
glee as he gathers the abundant blos
soms—the illuminated Scriptures of
the prairies.
