j with a poor appetite, followed
i by a peculiar, indescribable dis-
; tress in the stomach, a feeling
that has been described as a
! faint “all gone” sensation, a
1 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
2 2d 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 no
cancer to be found. The pa
tient did not have a cancer. 1
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.

[Graduating essay read by Miss Jennie
Burpee, of Newnan. at College Temple com

Beloved classmates: Fifty thous
and spectators, in the stadinm,
looked down upon the competi
tors in the Panathenaic games;
This is the record of the grandest ‘he present, the future, look down upon
triumph of creative power, “Let there ' U3 ' ^ Q ‘hi® more than Grecian sta-
be light and there was light.” The
universe sprang from chaos, and an
gels listened as the morning stars to
gether sang. Mountains towering .to
the azure skies, fertile vales slumber-
In this more than Grecian sta^
dium, aur spirits have been made ro
bust, not for a day, but for immortali
ty. This hour begins an important
epoch in our life histories. In this
our last school-girl reunion, let us
ing at their feet, seas reflecting the I P‘ e< ^S e ourselves to cherish the elevat-
sublimity of the far-off heavens, were ed P rinci P les and ample views of life
the unrivaled features of this beauti
ful realm—the earth.
Mark the matchless pencilingsof the
great artist in crimson, blue and gold
upon the sky;—anon, he lets fall the
ebon curtain of night, ’broidered with
circling worlds.
But was physical perfection his most
signal triumph? Nay, not so; a hit
of clay in his hand becomes the lordly
ruler over all his works and bears the
resemblance of a god. For what were
these endowments given? For aspi
rations, for triumphs. All Nature in
vites investigation. It bids science
gather the shells of the sea-shore for
texts and string an amulet of pearls
each inscribed with the autograph of
God.
The rocks say, “We have secrets;
give us a tongue.” The forests say,
“Hew us down, float us upon the dis
tant seas in the interest of progress.”
The mountains say, “Search, we have
treasures untold.” Steam cries, “I
should be the hewer of wood and draw
er of water to mankind.” Electricity
proclaims, “I have belted the earth,
and made all people a mighty brother
hood.”
Lifeisfull of inspiration. Upon each
step of Wisdom’s stairway is written,
“Higher, higher."
But spiritual grandeur towers unri
valed, for Life's grandest victories are
gained upon bended knees. When
the dark day suddenly settled upon
tbe assembled Connecticut Legisla
ture, Abraham Davenport in the
strength of his integrity said, "Bring
in the candles; if it is the day of doom,
let us be found at our post.” His mor
al sublimity gave to history a model
which our honored president and his
faithful faculty have instilled into
our hearts. We have risen upon a
higher plane. Shall we not nobly
sustain ourselves ? Shall we not prove
to our Literary F'ather, his hand has
not lost its cunning? Shall we lose
sightof our motto, “Dare to be Wise?”
We bear each of us as a sacred trust
the good name of our reverenced Al
ma Mater, who stands with proud con
fidence saying, “My children will nev
er forget the one who has tenderly
blessed them.” We are fresh young
spirts, trained in the tactics of literary
warfare; let us buckle on the well-
tried armor and stand ready for the
“close up” when others shall have
fallen from the ranks.
F'rom this Elim, with its wells of
water and spreading palms, we go out
strong for our duties. Be the spirits
the times demand. Do life’s plain,
common work as it comes, certain
that daily duties and daily bread are
the sweetest things of life.

Comfort for the Sorrowing.
Thank God, there are sorrows that
may be helped; burdens that may be
borne for others by us. To this work
let us give heart and hand, rejoicing
if the dross of our selfishness be con
sumed, and tbe gold of our sympathy
refined, even in the crucible of suffer
ing. Unspoken sorrow is perhaps the
saddest. The griefs we may not tell
gnaw deep. These are generally “liv

core. God is their refuge, their pres
ent help. Even they msv be trans
muted to blessings if they drive us to
the mercy seat and make our walk
with God closer. . The secret sorrow

Some unknown and sympathetic read-
er wrote to her from New York, say
ing, “Come North and dwell with us,
and do not bury your talents beneath
your cypress wreaths.” But now the
young authoress has fallen on better
days. Thevoiceofcommendationmore
often waits on the early efforts of aspir
ing authors. Bentbaursays of women,
“That she rules the world with the
whole power of a despot.” I am by
no means a “woman's rights woman,”
but I do say she is (he only material
which defies decay and survives
death. God has crowned her tbe cen
tral figure and absolute monarch over
this sacred kingdom, and she attunes
tbe very chords strung by Divinity
Himself.
God assigned to woman the grand
est mission that He ever assigned to
anyone. Borne say, “Teach her enough
geography to know where each room
in the house is, and enough chemistry
to keep the pot boiling.” Tnliuite
narrowness!—incredible pusillsnimi-
ty! Such men are so blinded by ic-
norance and infuriated by jealousy
that they cannot see that where moth
ers are educated man is necessarily
elevated. The earnest plea for man's
education equally pleads for that of :
woman. This diabolical fanaticism i
about so-called “woman’s rights” j
flourished for a while under bloomer- i
ism, shocked decent propriety, and I
now only amuses the world. Those
who would cut her loose from her own
sphere, thrust her upon the friction
and conflicts of public life, make her
a political power at the ballot box,
and a scrambler for cilice; also, those
who go to the other extreme and quote
from the fiendish poet, “That her
mission is only to suckle fools and
chronicle small beer!”—all such need
tbe lines of Schiller: “Honor to wo
man ! To her it is given to garden the
earth with the roses of heaven.”
No, sir; man’s and woman’s mission | j
never conflict. The joint influence of
the heat and light perform oae work.
One is useless without the other; so
the union of man’s and woman’s dis
tinct powers consummate God’s ideal
of humanity. Some say mind makes
the man; others, necessity; still oth
ers, manners;—but “home” makes
the man, for there the mother bedews
the heart with affection, quickens the
intellect and and asserts the rights of
noble character for everlasting su
premacy. Woman’s greatest mission
is to educate nobly; hence, she must
be always educatingand elevating her
self. Extra mental culture is not ab
solutely necessary, yet it is a good
help; cultured intellect, combined
with a woman's Christ-like love and
untiring constancy beautifies home,
brightens life, plants the seeds from
which enlightened nations spring, and
did not He tread the wine-press alone
Sorrow is sometimes a sanctuary,
When God has come very near with
His loviDg chastenings, he has been
known to recompense contrite cbil
dren by manifestations of His good
ness and greatness, filling their hearts
with indescribable peace. Stripped
of all earthly joy, they rise above the
earthly, and seem at the very gates of
heaven. Shut out frdm common
cares, the scales of unbelief and world
liness fall from their eyes, and, with
transparent vision, they view the
heaven. Blessed are they that mourn
thus in sacred seclusion. It is a very
holy of holies to the heart. It is
state of exaltation from which one
dreads a return to the routine of ac
tive life, and to which one recurs in
after days with a feeling akin to re
gret that it can be known but once.
Child of sorrow, shrink not from God’s
discijiiine. There is no sweeter Chris
tian experience than sanctified sor
row. Our Saviour was made perfect
through suffering. Is the servant
greater than his Lord? If we are
strangers to it here, how can we be
made meet for the inheritance of the
saints in that land where sorrow and
sighing shall flee away?
to-day it is the mighty Arcbimedian
lever which is lifting heathen supersti
tion from people who are glutted with
ignorance and bleeding with barbarity.
The old legend of the forty-year sleep
er is no idle myth. Thousands of our
race are sleeping and dreaming their
lives away. History proves, beyond
a doubt, that no nation ever fell ex
cept where corruption pervaded the
home. The grandest poem imagina
tion ever conceived testifies to this;
for what was the mystic power which
nerved- the Greeks through ten years’
siege around wind swept Illium? It
was that upon the home bond depend
ed the nation’s life blood. France
holds up her tattered banner of revo
lution, upon which we read in letters
of clotted blood, “The sacred precincts
of home were made the haunts of
vice.”
Common Honesty.
This seems to be an age of specula
tion. There are many forms of what
is now called speculation that are
nothing but forms of gambling, and
that lead directly to thieving and
swindling..
There is a demand fer common hon
esty in every part of the laud. The
pulpit and the press need to preach it,
and the schools and heads of families
need to teach it every day, The ideas
of many reputable appearing people
as to the difference between “mine
and thine” are very illy defined in
early youth, and the thirst for wealth
in maturer years and the powers of ac
quisitiveness tend to make them ob
scure indeed.
Money and property are not the
greatest of earthly blessings. A clear
conscience and an upright character
are acquisitions that wealth cannot
buy, and that preclude tbe wronging
of any human being. The pauper who
has integrity has a greater and more
imperishable possession than if with
out integrity he could duplicate the
bank accounts of all the Rothschilds.
Yet it is the great popular error of
the day that tbe chief objects in life
are to accumulate money and achieve
fame. A proportion of the human
race subordinate nearly everything to
the attainment of these objects and
fail in the end. The comparative few
who succeed have their labor for their
pains. Wealth and power are found
to be cloying and unsatisfactory, and
the cares of the rich and great are far
greater than those of the poor and ob
scure.
Those who in early life are taught to
appreciate the true value of' honesty
and of character are very apt to have
their feet directed in the paths that
lead to contentment and happiness.
The Colored Vote.
Baltimore Suu.
Senator IngaUs is dissatisfied at the
breach made in the color line in soms
of the States of the South. He is quoted
in the Boston Herald, as saying re
cently: “I have no hesitation in say
ing that granting the right of suffrage
to the colored people has proven an
absolute and unqualified failure.” This
confession from so thorough a radical
Republican as Senator Ingalls is sig
nificant of his disgust at the change in
the colored vote that the latter South
ern elections have shown. They have
not been so strongly manifested in
Virginia as In States further to the
South, but it is evident that Senator
Ingalls very clearly sees that the Re
publican party South is in danger of
disintegration by the defection of a
considerable portion of its colored al
lies, and that tho “absolute and un
qualified failure” of the reconstruction
policy lies in the fact that by grant
ing the right of suffrage to the colored
people it haB largely increased the
number of Southern Democratic rep
resentatives in Congress over and
above what it was before these newly
created citizens swelled the popular
vote. So long as the colored people
could be organized into Republican
clubs and led by a few white Republi
can leaders like a flock of sheep to the
polls, aud carpet-baggers and rene
gades by their help wore in control of
the several State Governments, Sen
ator Ipgalls was perfectly satisfied
that granting tbe right of suffrage to
the colored freec’men was a wise poli
cy. It was only when they had got
ten over the fear that was sedulously
instilled into them that they would be
remanded back into slavery if the
Democrats obtained possession of the
Government that they began to think
for themselves and to act independ
ently of Republican dictation. Now
that they have learned that their free
dom is quite as well assured to them
under Democratic as under Republican
control, it is not at all strange that
while they were always ready to ask
the advice of their own people in all
matters outside of politics, they should
now be ready, to a steadily increasing
extent, to follow their advice in poli-
ti#j also.

Don’t Print That.
Boston Herald.
A prominent newspaper publisher
in this city, who has gained fame also
in the literary world, once told me that
he considered it an affront for anyone
to say to him: “Now, don’t print
that in your paper,” in the course of
any conversation held in his presence.
I feel like echoing the same opinion.
Certain news is entirely legitimate, no
matter where heard or obtained, but a
| newspaper man respects private af-
| fairs and personal feeling just as much
as anyone else if he is a man of prin-
j ciple. To be thought differently of al-
i ways reminds me of a story of the
; musician and eminent surgeon who
! met one evening at a social entertain-
j ment. The surgeon said to the musi
cal genius:
i “Of course you have brought your
1 violin?”
“No, I have not,” said the musi
cian.
“But are you not going to play or do
something to add to the entertainment
of Mrs. Blank’s guests?” asked tho
surgeon.
“I had not thought of it,” said the
musician, “but if you will cut off a leg
I will play something.”
That musician was a wise man. I

less than 150,000,000 acres, of which
more 10,000,000 acres are yearly de
stroyed by fire, and to supply the
needs of fuel, tics, lumber, etc., it Is
estimated that certainly not less than
10,000,000 acres are denuded, altogeth
er an area of over 00,000 acres per
diem, the product representing a value
of more than $700,000,000 per annum.
The consumption of the forests in sup
plying our railroads with ties is enor
mous and increasing with the rapid
extension of the roads. It is estimated
that the building of existing roads has
taken tho available timber from an
area as large as tho States of Rhode
Island and Connecticut, and that to
keep them in repair by placing de
cayed ties with new ones requires an
nually the yield of more than 500,000
acres. In 1853 the forest area of Ohio
was 55.27 per cent, of ’be area of the
State. In 1881 it wis but 22.53 per
cent. A similar rapid consumption
of the forests has taken place in other
States. In many cases the flow of
streams has been lessened or made ir
regular by the removal of the forests
from their vicinity.

Who is Protected?
Pensacola Commercial.
Pittsburg, Pa., is shipping shovels
to Australia and successfully compet
ing with the same goods of English
make. Pittsburg makes up for this
by selling the very same shovels to
the American farmer for double the
price it charges the Australian. They
are able to do this because the tariff
shuts off competition and creates a
monopoly of the home market. Sin
ger’s company sell its American made
sewiDg machines in London and Liv
erpool f»r one half the price it charges
its customers in the United States.
Does anybody see where the profits
to the farmer, mechanic and laboring
man come in under our prohibitory
tariff? The differences in price for
which the articles are sold in the for
eign and home market does not go in
to the United States Treasury to lessen
taxation, but into the pockets of the
manufacturer. This tariff simply leg
islates the money out of the pockets of
one and puts it Into the pockets of an
other. It is .worse than highway rob
bery. It is legislative robbery and a
legalized system of plundering the
masses of the people for the benefit of
the large monopolies and manufact
urers. To-day you can buy a sewing
machine in London, made in the
United States and exported there,
with freight added, for $20 or $25,
while the same machine, made in the
same United States factory, is sold
here in Pensacola for $40, and cannot
be purchased for less. Who is pro
tected?
