GEORGE MUSE, 30 WHITEHALL Si«££|CV ATLANTA, GA. been suffering for many years from some disease of the stom ach, which had resisted the treatment of all the physicians in attendance. The disease commenced with a slight de rangement of the digestion, with a poor appetite, followed by a peculiar, indescribable dis tress in the stomach, a feeling that has been described as a faint "all gone” sensation, a sticky slime collecting about the teeth, causing a disagree able taste. This sensation was not removed by food, but, on the contrary, it was increased. After a while the hands and feet became cold and sticky— a cold perspiration. There was a constant tired and lan guid feeling. Then followed a dreadful nervousness, with gloomy forebodings. Finally the patient was unable to re tain any food whatever, and there was constant pain in the abdomen. All prescribed rem edies failing to give relief, a consultation was held, when it was decided that the patient had a cancer in the stomach, and in order to save the pa tient’s life an operation was jus tifiable. Accordingly, on the 22d of February, 1883, the op eration was performed by Dr, Vance in the presence of Dr. Tuckerman, Dr. Perrier, Dr. Arms, Dr. Gordon, Dr. Capner and Dr. Halliwell of the Police Board. The operation consis ted in laying open the cavity of the abdomen and exposing the stomach and bowels. When this had been done an examin ation of the organs was made, but to the horror and dismay of the doctors there was nc cancer to be found. The pa tient did not have a cancer. When too late the medical men discovered that they had made a terrible mistake; but they sewed the parts together and dressed the wound that they had made, but the poor woman sank from exhaustion and died in a few hours. How sad it must be for the husband of this poor woman to know that his wife died from the effects of a surgical operation that ought never to have been performed. If this woman had taken the proper remedy for Dyspepsia and Nervous Prostration (for this was what the disease really was,) she would have been liv ing to-day. Shaker Extract of Roots, or Seigel’s Cura tive Syrup, a remedy made ex pressly for Dyspepsia or Indi gestion, has restored many such cases to perfect health after all other kinds of treatment have failed. The evidence of its ef ficacy in curing this class of cases is too voluminous to be published here; but those who read the published evidence in favor of this dyspeptic remedy do not question its convincing nature, and the article has an extensive sale.

Fellow Citizens: It has now been one hundred and eleven years since the most successful and mow prosperous republic kaown thus far to nistory sent forth upon the sultry air Us first feeble cry. Oue hundred and eleven years ago this morning, the -mall red infaut known as American Liberty jammed her purple fists Into her watery eyes and made a few des ultory remarks which were beard in 1 he uttermost parts of tbe earth. To-day she is a full-grown person with a dignified mien, and has had a statue of herself taken, which stands tu the harbor of New York, and al itimigh she lights up ihe country for miles around with her tall torch, there is no oue who has ever been able to hold a candle to her in the liberty business. Those who are to-day within tbe sound of my voice, and who are ovei oue huudred and eleven years of age, will perhaps recall to their minds the deplorable condition of things here iu our young and struggling country al that time. If we moved out West in order to secure more freedom, the venturesome savsge filled us full of arrows till we looked like toothpick-holders, and when we came back for protection, the haughty Briton assessed us and crushed us beneath tne iron heel of the despot. Now, wherever the starry banner bangs out to greet tbe gentle breeze, all, all are free. Little do we know to-day, here iu America, what it is to suffer for freedom. Liberty does a good business here in the United Slates now, and the mui who runs out of freedom shows that he is a shiftless man and a poor provider. Only a little over a century sgo we dared not go out after dark without a chilled steel corset, for fear that the maroon-colored children of the forest might let the pale, shimmering moon light in among our vital organs by means of their crude tomahawks. Then life was indeed uncertain and disagreeable. People remained at home rather than return to their hous es with holes in themselves and wild ly disheveled brains. Now a man can start ont and go any where if he w ill pay bis fare. And so we are marching on. What a grand stride it is from the despotism of a century ago. to the long and short haul of to-day I What a mighty leap from tbe barnarism of a hundred years ago, to tbe glorious sunlight of freedom which we enjoy now ! Where once Ihe slow-going ox team and Belcher box wagon crept through ihe wilderness, liable to be scattered over tbe greensward at any moment by the yelling Injun, now ihe patient newspaper man, the member of Con gress and tbe Associated Justice of the Supreme Court, with their coats over their arms, toil along the level sweep of railroad which they assisted to build by means of their land grants and moral encouragement, looking ever and anon over their shoulders fir the approach of the yelling modern en gine. Times have indeed changed in tbe past century. A hundred years ago whisky was sold for forty cents per gallon, and every other man you met was a statesman. Now you have to pay fifteen cents for enough whisky to wet tbe bottom of a sms II tumbler and there hasn't been a speech made in the House of Representatives for three years lhat was listened t-> by anybody but the stenographer. S > liberty, while enlarjdng her field, has not always ameliorated tbe con dition of mankind. We are prone to boast over the enormous mass of free dom which we have accumulated here in America, and yet the freedom of the press has been greatly impaired, if I may be allowed that expression. Too much caste has been the result ol recent laws. A year ago I held np The Belle of Sierra. “We’ve got a girl up in our country,” -aid James Farwell of Sierra valley yesterday at the Grand Hotel to a San Francisco Examiner reporter, "that discounts the world. Ain’t another one like her auywhere. Make a good catch, too, for some fellow, only he -bould have pleuty of hustle to him, else he’d get laid out. She’s a ripper. Runs two ranches and makes a barrel of money. "You see, she’s a girl who is alone in the world. Two or three years ago her only relative, a brother, died, and consequently she had to run the prop erty. She is Miss Ellen Callehat. Everybody throughout tbe Sierra val ley knows her. She can yoke up the -teers and plough as much iu a day as anybody. She can build fences, pitch hay, or take.her place with a crew of men at a threshing-machine aud keep even with any of them. “As for riding refractory mountain horses, bhe’s a regular vaquero. It takes a very supple and loug-Jiiuteil nag to get her "fl, now, I tell you. He'd need to be lubrica'ed with the neat material a going to do it. “Miss Callehan has gone into the cattle business a gnod deal lately. It is only a few days ago since she sold forty-six beeves in oue lot to James Miller for $2,312 75. And, If you think -he ain’t shrev-'d on a trade, all 'I have >o say is she got 8)£c. for them, which is the highest price paid in the Sierra valley for several years. ‘‘She wouldn’t take paper money— nothing but gold—and she carried it all home with her, aud stowed it away iu her cabin. She has a holy horror of hanks, aud thinks they do little else nut sw indie. Now some people might think this girl would be good gam, for r< bber.-, but she wouldu’t. I have an idea it would be a very sorry time for tbe tuau who got to poking bi- nose about her placa. She can shoo, and she does it, too, Whenever the oc casion requires. “No, I never heard that she shot a man, but she is as handy as any frou- tietsman on tbe game that comes irouud there." "Is she pretty?” “Not from tbe city standpoint, hard ly, I presume. Fact is the girl’s got too much to do. But she is not oyer 25, weighs about 130 and is dashing and really attractive. If she gave her time aud attention to frills aud furbe lows instead of bulls and beef, I’m free to say I think she would eclipse many of the dazzlers who listen every night to the music of the National Oper, Company. Tbe girl's environment has had much to do with the forma tion of her habits, the same as it has with all persons. But Miss Callehan is ambitious. She says she is soon go ing to have a piano and an extensive library, and as soon as she turns ofl her other lot of beef cattle, which will lie early in tbe fall, she is going to take life easier. My word for it, Miss Cri- leban has tbe real stuff in her, ami we’ll hear from her further and to greater advantage before long. "Some of the young raDchm-n in the vicinity there have shown an in clination to win the yonng woman's hand. But she hasn’t encouraged them much. She says most of them are no account. “I suppose Miss Callehan is tbe best judge of live stock on the Pacific coast. She is to the Pacific coast what Minnie Morgan is to tbe Allantic. You know Miss Morgan made such a reputation as a judge of hoofed cattle aDd horses in the East that the New York World wanted her, and now she does the fine stock department exclusively for that paper, the World paying her such a salary that she writes for no other pa per whatever. “At guessing on the weight of a steer, or on giving an opiniou of the points of a horse or cow, Mias Callehan is acknowledged to be the queen of that country.” -Women Baling a City. Salina [Kan ) Letter to M-mphls Appeal. I have just returned from a trip on tbe Banie Fe road, west. Byr <cuse, 16 n.iles from the Colorado line, was the Mecea of my pilgrimage, because here, April 4'b, they elected aCliy Council of women, and I was bent upon seeing tbe town that had made this Innova tion and the women who were filling the Council chairs. I wanted to ask 'he people how it came about and bow it was working. The first of these la dies introduced to me was Mrs. E. B. Barbour, a fair-faced, gentle-man-, nered woman, with cd unmistakable air of business about her. I found >bi.* accounted for by the fact that she is a business woman. Her husband does a large and complicated business; the books are entirely in her charge. Mrs. H. D. Nott is a business woman, too. I expect much of Mrs. N"tt in the management of their ’Suffrage Society, because of her experience in Iowa as a President of the Eighth District Woman Suffrage Society. Mrs. Cog- gesbali says they were very sorry to lose Mrs. Nott from their ranks. She is chairman of the Syracuse Alder- manic force. Mrs. M. M. Riggles is a quiet little woman, a careful aud con scientious mother and bousewi e. She has a way of rnakiug up her mind for herself and standing firmly by her convictions. She hag a reputation atuoDg Syracuse male citizens for be ing a person of exceileut judgment. Mrs. S. N. Coe is a woman of excel lent ability, with enough conversation to keep her enthusiasm in proper check. No one of these woemn is mo e anxious to do exactly right than is Mrs. C"t. She is sister to Mrs. Le inert, President of the Saxon Equal Suffrage Society, organized at Dodge City by Mrs. Saxon and named for her. She has several such namesakes In Kansas. Mr.-. L. M. Swartwood, the fifth member, I did not see, al tbohgh I made an effort to do go. She was confined to her room by sickuess; out I am told she Isa woman of abili ty aud by no means behind her sister- iu auy requisite for her position. M\ -hurt acquaintance with these women couviuced me that sitting iu council chairs and wrestling with questions ol city polity have bad no effect to uuaex them—whatever that may be—for these were as wcmeuly women as 1 have eve- seen. I looked in vain for masculine tendencies. There was uotahiut of it in dress or manner. Meeting them on tbe street or in the cars, you Would never guess that they were city officials. From conversa tion with them I learned that the} were exceedingly aux'ous to make heir admiiiisiratinu a just one—out- hat would advance the best interest,- "f the city; aud when they spoke ot advancing the interests of their city they betrayed the fact that they hall tu mind the city’s moral as well a- emporal prosperity. It is said of them that they are doing better work than the body of men who composed the previous Couucil. Their towns people say they were elected because ‘‘somebody proposed it aud every hotly was pleased with the idea;” becauS’- “it was believed they would make ex cellent officersbecause “the temper ance people thought women wouldn't lie afraid to enforce the prohibitory- law ;” because “we wanted to adver tise our town”—this last from a mem tier of a real estate firm; because “women would take time to do the work well and thoughtfully.” Alto- vether, I was pleased with my first sight of a woman Council. This is the only one in the United Stales. Brown is a stay-at-home man, but has read a creat deal and is an ex ceedirtgly entertaining conversation alist. He was at achurch sociable the other evening and was entertaining some of the yonng ladies of the con gregation, when one of them remark ed: Yon seem to know something abou’ nearly every place, Mr. Brown. You mnst have traveled a great deal." -. Brown’s spirits seemed to fall. He my head and mingled with a class of : paused a moment and then replied: men who to-day refuse to recognize j “Yes, I have.

A young man who recently gradu ated from an Eastern theological school went out to Murray, ln the Coe ir d’Alene couDtry, to take charge of a church. Tbe largest gamblin' hall In town was cleared for bis ac commodation the first Sunday, one table on which Spanish monte was usually dealt being left for him to stand behind. A large stock register boob was laid on this, which was sup posed to represent a Bible. The whole town turned out and tbe young di vine preached a powerful sermon In it he stroDgly denounced gambling, horse-racing, drinking and profanity. That afternoon he was called on by a committee of leading citizens, oDe of whom said: “Pardner, thar’s a little matter we’d like to talk over with ye. I reckon it's all O. K. that yon an’ me should speak o’ some matters, as we’re a good deal in the same line o’ work, as I might say—both o’ us try in' to better the community.” “Indeed, do I see a minister of the gospel before me ?” “I reckon not, Capt’n. Wot I meant was thet I am the chairman nv tbe vigilance committee.” “Is it possible?" “Mighty rozs'ble, Capt’n. Wot we come here to s»y is that we don’t ap prove o’ yer preaehin.’ ” ' ‘I am very sorry thsr such is the case, but I can’t see how I can change it.” “Can’t, bey? Well, I reckon ye’ll bev to.

XashvlUe American. “Lawyers and witnesses, as a gen eral tblug, use all their tact in endeav oring to get the best of each other du ing tbe course of an exsmination, remarked a well known lawyer in the hearing of a reporter at the court house this morning, “but one of th most laughable incidents that I can remember occurred in an East Teunes see couoty a good many years ago, decidedly seusational breach of prom ise case was being luard, aud several • *f the *l*ig guns’ in ihe legal army had been employed on both sides, among the number a youthful barrister fmn Knoxville, who was then fresh from college, but has siuce attained dis tiuctiou as a jurist “The little town of L was a state of feverish excitement; th' court house was paetted, aud a bitter feeling existed between tne opposing tactions. The cross-examinations were trying the ingenuity of the coun sel on both sides, and very often Judge H , who was on the bench, would have 'o come to the rescue of either tbe excited witness or the baffled in terrogator. “Reuben Barnes was put upon the -laud by the prosecutions he had been employed as a farm hand by the com plaiuaut’s lather during the time th' alleged courtship was in progress, and >f course was supposed ta have ob served many things that would have a bearing on the case. He proved ti be incorrigible, and w»s frequently threatened with the jail unless he au wered questions. The louuglawye whom 1 mentioned was conducting the cross-examination, and a squab tile ensued between ihe attorneys as to the dismission of certain questions. Barnes got mixed tip in it, aud when ihe attorney asked him a questiou that he did not understand he asked for an explanation before answering. “‘Mr. Barnes,’ replied the attorney who was getting very angry, ‘that is a technical poiut in law that you need know nothing about. You will please ell this court and jury whatyousaw with your own eyes on tbp last Suu -lav evening in May as you passed 'll rough the orchard toward the call lot.’ “ ‘Wall, I saw Dick and Sarah sitting under au apple tree.’ “ ‘What were they doing?' “ ‘They 'peared to be siltin' ’long- side each other on au old sassafras stum p.' “ ‘Was there anything in their ac cions to indicate that they were en gaged in mute than a friendly conver- -atiou ?’ “ ‘Wall, yes;’ slowly ejaculated Barnes, while the wide court and spectators held t eir bn ath, ‘I seed 'em gum-suckin’, lallyg .ggiu’ and rich .' “‘Now, sir,’exclaimed the lawyer, jumi lng to Ills feet, wilh an excia- ma ion of triumph, ‘will you pleas* tell me what you mean by lally gag gin?’ “ ‘That, sir,’ replied the witness imitating, as faras possible, the pomp ous tone of his interlocutor, ‘is er teck eruiekle pint in courtin’ that you needn’t know Dothin’ about.’ “It was too much, even for sedate old Judge H., nnd the scattering lock- bobbed up aud down on his bald pate as he screened his face behind a law hook and laughed until be cried. As for the crowd—well, as soon as the Judge could gain his self-control, court adjourned for dinner.” Didn't Ask Her Bight. Mr. Burdette iusists that lie over heard a woman lecturing her husband as follows on board a train: "Now Fit tell you why I wouldn’t go into the restaurant and have a cup of coflee with you while we were waiting for the train. I didn’t like the way yon asked me. Keep quiet. I have tbe floor. Not half an hour before you said to Mr. Pufler: ‘C -me, let’s get a cigar;’ and away you went, holding his arm and not giviDg him a chance to decline. When we met John O’Howdy on our way to luncheon you said: ‘Just in time, John; come take lunch with us.’ And then to-night, when we found tbe train an hour late, you looked at your watch, turned to me, and said in a questioning way; ‘Would you like a cup of coffee?’ And I did not want it; I was tired and s little hungry, bull would have fainted before I would have accepted such an invitation. And you went away a lit tle bit vexed with me and had your coffee and bread and butiter hy your self and didn’t enjoy it very much. In effect you said to me: *If you want a cup of coffee, if you really want it, I will by it for you.' You are the best husband in the world, but do as near ly all tbe best husbands do. Why do you men seem to dole things out to your wives when you fairly throw them to the men you know? Why don’t you invite me heartily as you invite men? Why didn’t you say, ‘Come, let’s get a little coffee and something,’ aDd take nie right along with you? You wouldrrt say toanus, ‘Would you like me to go and buy you a cigar?' Then why do you al ways issue your little invitations to treats in that way to me? Indeed, in deed. my dear hu.-band, if men would only act toward their wives as heart! ly, cordially, frankly as they do to ward the men whom they meet, they would find cheerier comnanions at home than they would at tbe ciob.” The largest bank in the world is tbe Bank of England.

Tha town is dirty, aud tbe guide talks on incessantly;, the manger—a neatly- finished marble box—the Altar of tha Star, the Altar of the Innocents, tha tomb of St. Jerome and tbe tomb of Si. Paul seem all to be of equal valua iu the eyes of the FraDciscau brother who shows them to you. “But the cell of St. Jerome—just the place a gloomy dyspeptic would choose for bis abode—this seemed of more worth. Rather damp it waa, th the light cqmiug iu from abova, aud not very much of it; but not at all uninhabitable. Up-stalrs tbe Greek Church is im pressive—impressive because ef its perfect simplicity; for the brown raft ers are all uup-inted and ungilded, and are the resting-places of many sparrous aud swallows, whose twitter ings and chirpings filled the cool glmnu. It reminded me of tbe peace ful Campo Santo at Pisa, and with Gei hseuiatie, aud the wheal-field* bout Bethany, is tbe calmest memo ry I have of Jerusalem." The Terrible Florida Hog. Writing'of tile Florida bog, the Pa- latka (Fla.,) JVetu* says: We hava seen his long lusks divide a dog like a sword—we have seen a panther so ter ribly wounded that tbe poor cat crept fl iu despair to die, while the hog recked not of flowing blood from hi* own neck and shoulder, but proudly hallenged a renewal of the fight. At Tocio lately a hog made it a point to land on tbe track whenever he saw the locomotive coming, and the con- iderate engineer stopped for fou r sue- essive days to drive him off. At last, tired of humanity which aroused DO gratitude, the tram hands assembled ny invitation to see that bogdemoliab- d. He was on tbe track awaltiDg hi* doom—and extra speed was drawn from fat piDe burled iDto the furnao* with malice prepense. The hog raised his bead in surprise when no stop wa* made, aud, seeing his danger, started at a gallop down the track. In vain the engine rushed forward with mad dening speed till coaches rocked and ladies screamed in terror. When th* train reached Palatka the hog wa* leisurely eating waste corn at Vertree*’ stable, so that he is now for sale a* • race horse. On another occasion the writer of this was sleeping in camp, and around lay a pack of bounds who had often proved that a bear at hay brought no terror to their hearts, and who carried scars honorably earned in strife with ■ he wild cat and panther. Butanum-^ her of these razor-backs came around in tbe dead of night, and when the dogs attempted to drive them off they charged like warriors true and tried. They swept off the dogs and charged iver the hunters—blankets, guns, cooking utensils aud fishing rods be came things of tbe past and stoat men took refuge in the boats. Then, to ave the dogs, revolvers entered into he fray, and finally tbe fierce gruntera moved off in search of pastures n*W. With tbe early dawn came a long, lean man, who carried a rifle as long as himself, and be assessed tbe dam ages, which tbe hogs should bav* paid, aud carried ofl tbe slain, which tbe victors did not want. There are still a few theorists who justify polygamy on tbe ground that more women are born into the world than men, but tbe theory baa long been exploded. August Babe!, in hi* remarkable work recently translated into English, shows tha' in ten Slat**, with a copulation of 250,000,000, th* excess of females over males was only 2,500,000; and when we remember th* extent to which nteD outnumber w*- men tu the colonies, and the fact that in India there are 6,000,000 more m*B than women, tbe natural inferenM that if the inhabitants of the earth were distributed according to th* sexes men and women would be found to exist in about equal proportion!. An accidental bittlDg of tb* key note of a family phrase caused a little tot to make this fuuny break: Her mother, in bearing her say her pray ers, told her to ask tbe Lord to mate her a good girl. “Dear Dod,” said tte little thing, “pleatb try and make warn a dood girl—and if at firth you don't tbucceed iry, try again,” she unexpect edly added. l&SSSSt
