Do you know, my readers, that
the sweetest pastimes of an exis
tence are those that turn back
ward—our thoughts—and reveal to
us those pleasant happenings of our
past lives. When our lives have
been full of pleasure and happiness,
those are the thoughts that m ake
us happier still; and even when
they have been checkered with ups
and downs, and our paths, instead
of being carpeted with roses and
lillies, have been strewn with thorns
and stumbling block, still th&y bring
back memories that are dear to us.
They show us the errors of our way,
and compel us to strive to reach a
loftier plane than that we have trod
so long. How pleasant it is to think
of our boyhood days, when we used
to sit upon our mother’s knee, and
listen to the sweet strains of “rock
a-bye baby,” it always makes us
anxious to sing—

gj8T A Mr. Ferguson, of Wood
ruff, S. 0., after several experi
ments with cotton seed, has found
■a variety which produces only seed.
(On good land he says he can make
from three to four hundred bushels
(of seed to the acre. Fifty pounds

If his statements are correct, the
seed from one acre would be worth
from $G0 to $75.

“Backward, turn
jour flight,
Make me a child again just for to-night-
Mother come back from that echoless shore,
Take me again in j'our arms as of j’ore.”
When these memories take pre
cedence, the hardest hearted of us
all will bow our heads with reve-
ience, ami there is certain to steal
into our eyes a tear that shuts out
from our gaze for a time the beauty
and-the loveliness of earth. How
many of us have sat for hours and
hours at a time, peering into va
cancy, saying to ourselves—
“How dear t o my heart aie Hie scenes of my
childhood,
When fond recollections present them to
view;
The orchard, the meadow, the deep tangled
wildwood.
And everj’ loved spot that my infancy knew.
The wide spreading jioud, and the mill 1 lat
stood bj- it,
Tlie bridge, and the rock where the cataract
fell.
The cot of mj r father, the dairy house nigh it,
And e’en the rude bucket that hung in the
well;
The old oaken bucket, t he iron hound bucket.
The moss covered bucket that hung in the
well.”
Who is it that does not look back
at his boyhood days as the happiest
of his whole life? Who is it ihai
would not give ten years of old age
for one more peep at happy youth ?
Oh, my friends, there are none who
would not make the change—none.
And as we go plodding along down
tne path of life—whether we go the
direction that leads to everlasting
darkness, or the other way, which
leads to glory and to God—all of us,
in high places or in low places, look
back at boyhood days with over
flowing hearts.^
If our lives are a success, we are
supremely happy. If they are not
what they should be, we say—
“All! w< 11, for us all some sweet hope lies,
Deeply buried from human ej - es;
And in the hereafter angels may
Itoll the stone from its grave away.”

You may call this a vulgar, ex

we read the lines:
“Who, visiting,greet through the purple air.
Us who have stained the incarnadine.”
Incarnadine or red may be the
wrong color for a town, but it is
the natural color of the blood. If
your liver is out of order, your
blood will soon lose its ruddy glow
and become impure. This means
kidney disorders, lung disease, and
in course of time, death. To put
the liver right and to stop such a
train of evils, take Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery—a sure
remedy. It is guaranteed to bene

a disordered liver or Impure blood,

Men who accept office only

to treating bribery, and any sort of
^promises. In very many instances
v t costs so much to get elected that
only rich men can afford to run for
otlice. Have the people ever
thought of the little difference there
is between paying out money to get
office, und accepting money after
Retting in office. The principal is
almost identical, and the man who
w °uld do the one, is a fit subject
for the other; for giving a bribe, is
about as bad as receiving one, else
there would, be no truth iu the say-

Calhoun, Ga., November 18.-—A
telegram from Gadsden, Ala., was
received here yesterday evening
asking the sheriff to look out for the
notorious Rube Burrow and his col
league Jackson. Some little excite
ment prevailed for a while, and the
sheriff with a posse watched all the
trains, but to no purpose. Someho w
the impression has become extant
that Rube is hiding about in the
northeastern portion of this county,
in the neighborhood of a village in
the mountainous regions called
Petersburg. One Johnson, who kill
ed a man by the name of Brown, at
the above named village some years
ago, and who was sent to the peni
tentiary, but who has been pardon
ed, has recently bee« seen in this
county, and it is thought by some
that he is Burrow’s partner. The
rumors of his peculiar conduct, car
rying a Winchester rifle, and hav
ing a crude substitute for an armor
to turn bullets, gives rise to some
extent to these suspicions.

One of the most singular affairs
occurred in this city a number of
years ago, but never reached pub
lic notoriety, it if said, from the fact
that the parties were prominent in
business and social life. A wealthy
citizen, since dead, lived in a fine
house with his wife in one of the
fashionable portions of the city.—
The wife has since died, and both
left considerable property, which
has been distributed to various
heirs. T here were no children. Old
man M. had virtually retired from
business, and, having reached a
good age, was conte to spend most
of his time at home. Soon, how
ever, strange whispers went the
rounds of the neighborhood to the
effect that all was not right at the
31. mansion. Bights,unusually bril
liant, were often seen burning in
the upper rooms until a late hour at
night, and often until daylight.—
Forms could be seen moving hur
riedly about the house, and not in
frequently would a well-known phy
sician’s carriage dash up to the steps
aud remain an hour at a time.
vVhat <: aused all this unusual stir,
and at such unseemly hours?—
Neighbors will talk, and neighbors
will quite often pry into other peo
ple’s affairs. So by dint of persis
tency it was finally learned by a
select few that old man M. was al
most nightly tormented by appari
tions, some of them pleasant in ap
pearance. but most of them abso
lutely hideous.
Dittle was known of old man 31’s
past life. He was regarded as an
honest and valuable citizen, possi
bly a little eccentric, but of good
habits and a genial disposition, and
that he should see spirits in his
room most every night was almost
incredible. He did not alone wit
ness these apparitions. They were
seen by several of his attendants, so
that it cannot be said that the old
man had gone daft. From one who
was called to attend M. on one oc
casion the following remarkable
story is learned:
The old man had a terrible time
with spooks and uncanny visita
tions, said the narrator. About 11
or 12 o’clock at night he would start
suddenl i from his bed, and declare
that the room was full of strange
voices. I declare I had a notion
that the old man was crazy, but I
sat still by his bedside. Soon we
could hear subdued whispers from
every direction of the room. Voices
were saying: “Listen! Listen!”
We did listen, and look, too, for
presently a guitar, white as mist,
floated into the middle of the room.
Then two misty jeweled hands, the
hands of a woman, played on the
strings. I ain’t much of a musician,
but that music was certainly the
sweetest I ever heard. Just then
the old man shouted: “See that hor
rid thing—that bloody head!” I
turned just in time to see the vision
of a man’s head as it melted from
view. It was a horrible sight.—
Blued was dripping from the white
beard. The eyes were opening and
closing in spasmodic agony.
The old man swooned away, and
I summoned his physician and
others in the house. Restoratives
were administered, and he passed
the balance of the night in a trou
bled sleep. I would not stay with
him again, believing that the house
was haunted, in tact, I began to
think that some great mystery Jay
shrouded in the.mansion. The ut
most secrecy was enjoined upon
all who attended the old man, and
the affair was kept pretty quiet.
The old man was horribly torment
ed by these visitations for a long
time. He could see all manner of
hideous things—corpses in their
grave-clothes, spooks of all kinds,
heads of murderers, suicides and
the like. Medical experts were sum
moned who pronounced him sane,
They themselves, it appears, wit
nessed many strange things in the
house, but it was only when the old
man was alone or with an attend
ant that he saw the qjost hideous
sights. I got enough of it in one
night.”
From other sources it is learned
that about a year before old man M.
died the visitation of spooks ceased.
About that time, too, a noted spirit
ualist of the city mysteriously dis
appeared. The mystery has never
been wholly cleared up, but one or
two knowing ones think that a dia
bolical scheme was on foot to drive
old man M. insane, so that he would
not make a will, or, in case he did,
that it could be easily contested.
Some people assert that the hob
goblins were spirits called from the
realms of the dead by the power of
some evil-disposed medium employ
ed for the purpose.
a Georgia Doctor with Ten Living wires. ALFRED BAKER, President.
Chattanooga, Tknn., Nov. 18.— !
Dr. R. A. Gerrard is in jail charged I
with bigamy, having ten wives liv
ing, according to the statement oil
wife No. 10, whom he married in [
this city. Gerrard is a man of fine j
conversational powers, but not of
attractive appearance, while his
wives are all handsome in appear
ance, Several of them are expected
to arrive from different points of
the compass in a tew’ days. Ger
rard served one sentence in Georgia
for bigamy. He admits that he has
several wives living, but claims
that he does not know how many
he has, his memory on this point
being defective. He married, his
wile, who was the widow of a man
who committed suicide, by going
on the river in a boat and boring
holes in the bottom of it about a year
ago. One day he told her that he
had five wives; also, that he had
murdered his own mother. She left
him, and he tried to have her ar
rested, charging her of trying to kill
him, in which he was unsuccessful.
Since that time they have lived
apart, and his wife has investigated
his story as to the other wives, and
has found it to he true. A letter
from Gerrard is a curiosity. He
says:
“Dear Wife; ’ I love you very
dearly, but do not want you to be
unreasonable with me. We men
must have some all-consuming pas
sions. Some smoke tobacco, some
drink liquor, some take opium, but
my passion is love, and so all-ab
sorbing is it that no one woman can
satisfy my love for domestic happi
ness.”

Ladies—why is it, that when your
husband oi your children are ill,
you consult the best physicians at
once, care for them day and night
wear yourself out with sleepless
watching, and never begrudge the
heaviest doctor’s bill, if only the
dear ones are restored to health;
while day after day, week after
weel, you endure that dull pain in
your back—that terrible “dragging-
down” sensation—and do absolute
ly nothing ;o effect a cure? In a
few years you will be a helpless
invalid, and soon your broken
hearted husband and motherless
children will follow you to the grave.
Perhaps delicacy prevents you con
sulting a physician—hut even this
is not necessary. Poor sufferer, tell
your husband how miserably you
feel—perhaps you never did—and
ask him to stop to-night and get
you a bottle of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite
Prescription. It has cured thous
ands of women suffering from weak
nesses and complaints peculiar to
your sex.

Tlie Emperor Dethroned and Slaver; Abolished
London, November 27.—The re
publican? of Brazil have overthrown
the monarchial form ot govern
ment, dethroned the emperor, and
established a republic. Slavery has
also beer- abolished. A dispatch
from Rio Janeiro says Emperor
Don) Pedro has departed from Bra
zil. Before his departure he was
formally notified of h ; s deposition.
At the same time he was informed
that the civil list would be continu
ed. The province of Bahia opposes
the republic, but most of the other
provinces have signified their ad
herence ::o the new regime. Dr.
Barboza, the new minister of finance,
announces that all contracts enter
ed into by the imperial government
will be maintained.
A Paris correspondent says:
Republican counsel at Rio de
Janeiro decided a few months ago
that the anniversary of the French
revolution was tpp most propitious
occasion on which to proclaim a re
public. The leaders of the party
were so confident of success that
they ordered a number of republi
can flags to be made in this city.
In the new (lag the imperial crown
is replaced by a Phrygian cap. It
is reported that Dorp Pedro recent
ly expressed to his prime minister
the opinion that the government
had not much longer to live.—
Among the causes that led to the
revolution were tyrannical meas
ures to which the government re
sorted in order to secure the return
of its supporters at the last election,
when many electors were arrested
and imprisoned.
Lima, November 17.—Via Galves
ton—The latest advices from Rio
Janeiro, dated November It), 9:55
p. m., are to the effect that the pro
vince of Bahia is opposed to the
revolution. Viscount Curo Preto,
ex-minister of the interior, and,
Senor Mayunck. a. banker, have
been arrested. The emperor is
looked on wi th suspicion. The pro
visional government has abolished
the anarchy. The revolutionary
commission addressed a letter to
the emperor telling him to leave
the country in twenty-four hours,
The emperor acknowledged this,
and leaves by the packet Alagoas,
accompanied by’ the ironclad Ria-
chuelo. The Brazillian republic
will give die emperor a certain
amount to live on in Europe. The
revoluntary commission has been
sworn in before the chamber of mu
nicipality. The republic is certain,
and great enthusiasm prevails.
Washington, Nov. 17.—Secre
tary Blaine said this evening that
he had received only one dispatch
from Rio, and that simply confirm

in substance, that the army and

gents; that a provisional govern
ment had been formed, and that the
emperor was a prisoner in his pal

A|>0ut His Brother.
Seyeral years ago my brother who
lives with me, hud a very strange
sore to break out on his leg—about
half way between the body and the
knee—which afterwards developed
into a rose cancer. It resulted
from a bruise made by the rubbing
of the stirrup-leather while riding.
The cancer continued to grow
until it was about five inches long
and three wide* The flesh sloughed
off, black, rotten and foul, and it
was almost impossible to procure a
seryant that would wait upon him,
the air in the room where he lay
being so fopl that it would sicken
anyone who entered. Every phy
sician of any prominence in the
state was consulted, and treated
my brother without success. One
doctor finally advised him to try
Swift’s Specific (S. S. S.); he did so,
and used nothing else. He com
menced to improve immediately,
and alter taking several bottles
was completely cured,and since 1884
not a symptom of the disease has
manifested itself.
