mmmk ■3TJ * §Hte Herald and jpctflistij. Newnan, Ga., Friday, November 2, 1888. “Agin Prohibition.” Harper’s Monthly This sort of talk reminds me of old Uncle Jem Austin’s excuse for declin ing to reduce the number of drinks he was taking daily. Uncle Lem had been a free drinker for a long time. At last it began to tell on him. He became sick and sent for the doctor. The doctor came, examined him, in quired as to his symptoms, felt his pulse, looked at his tongue, sounded his chest, etc. Having, as supposed, suitably impress ed the old man, he said: “Uncle Lem, l am afraid you are drinking too much whisky, and it is proper that I should say to you that your trouble is caused almost solely by the excessive use of in toxicants.” The old man did not seem to be at all surprised,Jbut replied promptly: “Well, Doc, I wouldn’t be surprised if you wan’t more’n half right ’bout that. “How much do you drink a day, Un cle Lem ?” inquired the doctor. “Well, I don’t hardly know, Doc,’ replied the old man. “Let me sge. 1 take a drink afore breakfus’ and onear ter breakfus’, and two ’twixt breakfus’ and dinner, and one afore dinner; how many’s that ?” “Five,” replied the doctor. “An one arter dinner.” “Six.” “An two ’twixt dinner and supper.” “Eight.” “An one afore supper.” “Nine.” “An one arter supper.” “Ten.” “An two betwixt supper and bed time.” “Twelve,” said the doctor. “Well, them’s about my daily rashins. Doc.” “That’s too much liquor, Uncle Lem You can’t stand it; it will kill you Now, I suggest that you curtail the amount. It won’t do to quit off entire ly. It would prostrate you. But you could reduce the number of drinks— say a third, and after awhile another reduction. Now, suppose you drop off the two drinks between breakfast and dinner, and the two between dinner and supper at first, and begin the reforma tion in that way?” Uncle Lem held his head down and reflected a moment; then looking up and fixing his bleary eyes on the doc tor, said: “See here, Doc; blame my cats if I don’t sorty be’leeve you’re one o’ them prohibitioners, an’ I’m agin prohibition tooth and toe-nails. Now, this here propersition of your’n looks to me mighty like a step in the direction er prohibition, an’ I ain’t agwine to take it, durn my skin ef I do; I’ll die fust.” Realism Outdone. New York Graphic. A curious case was brought to the at tention of the police authorities by a Graphic reporter this morning, and about which they are still looking up the law and puzzling their heads. It appears that the proprietors of “The Stowaway” dramatic company, who are to produce that play at Niblo’s garden next week, propose to employ two no torious and skillful burglars as actors in that realistic drama, whose duty will consist of doing a neat job in the way of burglary in full view of the au dience. They will be supplied with all the latest and most approved devices in the way of burglars’ tools, and will “crack a safe” every night on the stage within a given time, the burglary being a genuine one every night so far as opening the closed safe is concerned. When the case was brought to the at tention of Inspector Byrne’s assistant, Sergt. Bird, he said it was an interest ing and peculiar one, unlike any that had ever come before the city police authorities. If the actor-burglars, how ever, were men who were “wanted” by the police, the officers of the law, he thought, would add another realistic touch to the melodrama by promptly walking on the stage and nabbing them in the act. It is said that one of the burglars em ployed for the purpose will be “Kiddy” McCoy, alias “Limpy, the Bilk,” whose picture adorns the rogues’ gallery. He has done time in the State prison for several bank burglaries, and is said to have been one of those concerned in the Northampton bank robbery. This enterprising individual takes a not un natural pride in the calling in which he is such an expert member, and will act upon the stage to show his contempt for safes and safe-makers. He has boasted that there is no such thing as a burglar-proof safe, and that he can open any safe put before him in a given time. If he fails in this, it is said that he is willing to surrender a forfeit to the managers of the play. The safe manufacturers are deeply interested in this novel experiment, and will furnish safes of various makes for the successive performances of “The Stowaway,” having agents on hand to see that the safe is first securely locked. It is believed that these burglars will “beat the record” on safe-breaking when they get under way, and give points about expert workmanship to their fellow-craftsmen. for some successful anecdotes. Jim, who is of that shade known as a ‘ bright mulatto,” has black silken curls and a smile that renders him the delight and torment of all the “yaller gals’ of the city, and his temper is as sunny as a day in June. It is Mr. Smith’s invaria ble habit to discharge bis valet once a week in futile endeavor to persuade Jim that he does not own his master, body and soul; but as the amiable Afri can sweetly ignores all such ebullitions, and always returns the next morning, placidly unconscious of any unpleasant ness, the habit serves only as a relief to his master’s overcharged feelings. On one occasion he carried Jim down into unfamiliar wilds in Georgia and pur posely lost him, after the fashion in which one rids one’s self of obnoxious cats, and for two weeks after his return revelled in his freedom. At the end of that time, in answer to his bell one morning, Jim put his head in at the door and asked, in his usual tone, “Mis’ Smiff, did you ring fer me?” and then his mas ter resigned himself to his obvious des tiny. His only consolation is that a repetition of Jim’s sayings sometimes helps him over shoals of silence at a stupid dinner party. Here are two of them: One morning Jim having been in structed to rouse Smith at a certain hour woke him with exclaiming: “Law! Mis’ Smiff, I done bed such bad luck dis mawnin! I done clean fergot ter wake you up time you tole me.” Smith groaned. “Jim you are too tri fling to live. I wish you would die. I’ll never get rid of you any other way.” The darkey set about his duties with out resentment, and said, contempla tively, a few moments later, with an evident desire to be obliging: “I don’t mind dyin, Mis’ Smiff; it’s stayin’ dead so long’s what henders me.” Jim and a young African companion were one day fishing from the wharves. His friend missed his footing, fell into the water and was drowned. Jim’s grief was so uproarious that a sympa thetic bystander inquired if the drowned boy was a relation. “No,” said Jim, through his tears; “he warn’t no relation, but he mout’s well been— he hedall de bait.” Why the Train Ran Slow. San Francisco Call. A man was one day making a trip on a mixed train on a Dakota road. Pas sage on these trains is never taken ex cept for journeys of considerable length; walking is as easy and much faster for short distances. On this occasion the movement was even more deliberate than usual, and the passenger called the conductor to his seat and said: “Isn’t this motion pretty slow?” “Well, we ain’t flying, I’ll admit.” “Sure everything is all right ?” “I think so.” “Wheels all greased?” “Yes, I greased them myself.” “Tires all on ?” “Yes. We run through the creek back here and soaked up the wheels so that they would stay.” “Any spokes loose ?” “No.” “You are certain the wheels are all on the rails ?” “They were when I come in.” “Couldn’t be possible that any of them are off and ti e axle dragging, could it ?” “I guess not.” “Are we going up hill ?” “No, this is pretty middlin’ level.” “Do you always run at this gait?” “No, we generally hump along a lit tle faster than this.” “May I ask w..at is the trouble, then ?” “Certainly. AVe found a 2-year-old steer stuck in a trestle back here, before you got on, and stopped and helped it our. You know the rules of the road are that in such a case the animal be longs to the company.” “But I don’t see why that makes you run so thundering slow.” “Why, you blame fool, we’re takin’ that steer along to headquarters; got it tied on behind, and it ain’t used to lead- , and don’t walk up very well. I’m doing all I can; got the brakeman prod ding it up with an umbrella; an ear of corn tied to the bell rope. If you think I’mgoin’ to start up and go howlin’ along and yank the horn off as good a steer as there is in the territory, wh*y, you*re mistaken, that’s all. Us train men can’t expect our pay unless we bring in some stock once :n a while.” “The gimfastic affairs of this yere Constikushion are about to be over whelmed by the pulley-blocks o’ na ture.” This noble sentiment was applauded to the echo. A stranger in the district asked the way to the place of a man named Owen. The mountaineer to whom he addressed the query was also a person of superior culture, and his re ply was couched in these weird words: “Although Owen’s place is strictly adjacent to mine, I cannot circumvent with any degree of certainnities his wherefores or whichabouts;” a reply that would have delighted the late Mr. Weller. A Candidate's Woes. Man that is nominated of a convention is of few days and full of woes. He ariseth in the morning, and lo ! the enemy hath gotten his record, and the newsboy crieth it aloud in the streets of the city. He seeth his substance consumed by the striker and worker, while the heel er devoureth him even as the locust doth the green field. All day long do fellows of the baser sort lie in wait for him at his gateway, and say, lend me five shekels, the which when they have gotten they spend in the beer saloon of his enemy and laugh —ha! ha! His days are filled with the sound of the brass band, and his slumber is bro ken by the scribes, who regard not the proprieties, but awaken him at all hours and command him to be thou interview ed, and straightway publish unto the people words the like which he had ut tered not. He maketh a speech unto the people, and the enemy crieth that he is windy and a man of vain words. He sayeth naught, but shakeththe hands of the populace, and lo ! the peo ple declare he is a chump, and knowdth not what to say. He is prudent with his treasure, and lo ! the striker, the heeler and the bum mer stand in the streets and cry, he is a chilly man, and loveth not his fellow- man. He giveth his shekels to the cause, and straightway the scribes and prophets of the enemy proclaim from the house tops that he is a boodler and cry out with a loud voice, this man would de stroy the legis of our liberties.

Representative Taulbee of Kentucky has a queer set of constituents, and it may be said of him that he very well represents them. In the backwoods aud the mountain regions, where Mr. Taul bee makes his canvass before election, every man has his own idea of quanti ty, and there are no two men whose views on diction are exactly the same. Mr. Taulbee possesses a thorough knowledge of the peculiar dialects of the people whom he represents. He Pups of Both Parties. New York Times. A few days ago a young woman who was passing the corner of Broadway and Twenty-third street was attracted by the voice of a young man who was selling young pups. “Here’s your Har rison and Morton pups !” he was shout ing to passers-by. It so happened that she was a devout Republican, and the novelty of possess ing a Harrison and Morton pup got the the better of her judgment, for before she realized the presence of a gaping crowd she had purchased a little beau ty. Two days later she was passing the same corner. The same young man was there, but this time he was shouting: “Here’s the place to get your Cleve land and Thurman pups !” She pushed her way in. She was mad. With suppressed indignation she said : “How is it you are selling Cleveland and Thurman pups now? Two days ago you said they were Harrison and Morton pups.” “They were then,” suavely replied the pup dealer, “but they’ve got their eyes open now. Anybody else want a Cleveland and Thurman pup!” Amid the laughter and shouts of the crowd the woman who had bought a Harrison and Morton pup with its eyes closed elbowed her way out and hur ried away. “I heard an odd story the other day about Bishop Heber’s beautiful hymn, ‘From Greenland’s Icy Mountains,’” said a well-known Cincinnatian. “What is it ?” “It relates to*the music of the hymn. You remember that Bishop Heber wrote it while in Ceylon, in 1S24. About a year later it reached America, and a lady in Charleston, S. C., was struck with its beauty. She could find, how ever, no tune that seemed to suit it. She remembered a young bank clerk, Lowell Mason, afterward so celebrated, who was just a few steps down the street, and who had a reputation as a musical genius. So she sent her son to ask him to write a tune that would go with the hymn. In just half an hour back came the boy with the music, and that melody, dashed off in such haste, is to this day sung with that song.” A REMARKABLE LETTER. Down Two Years With Rheumatism and Now Entirely Well. I have been troubled with rheumatism for two years; had gotten so I could searceij walk, and was in pain nearly all the time. At night could not sleep for the excruciating nain. The bone in one of my legs was very much enlarged, and I feared that amputation would be necessary. After trying many dn- ferent- patent medicines claiming to cure rheumatism and other complaints, I was al most discouraged until about two weeks ago, w-lien I had to give up business, Mr. W. J. Willingham, of your city, hearing of iny com plaint-, advised the use of your medicine, and assured me of his confidence in it as a cure for rheumatism. I at once purchased a bot tle, hoping it might relieve me, but not having much Taith in it, or in anything else; but, thank God, I am very inuen relieved, and I firmly believe I will get entirely well. The swelling has gone down and I am in no pain whatever. Am at work again, and have been for several days. Can run up and down the stairwav in factory as nimbly as ever. I thank you for this earthly salvation to me. I write without your solicitation, or any knowledge of you, except through your med icine. I write because I feel grateful for what has been done for me. I am yours, very truly, W. A. Moore, Foreman for Willingham Lumber Co., Chattanooga, Tenn. If any one should doubt as to my being cured, or as to my statements, I refer them to the firm I am with and have been with for many years: Mr Phillip Young, of Chatta nooga; Mr. Hamilton, foreman of carpentry, with W. L. & Co., Chattanooga; Dr. Acre, of Chattanooga; Mr. Phil Hartman, shipping clerk for W. L. Co.; F. B. Cheek, Chatta nooga ; Mrs. Cooper, Chattanooga, and one hundred others in factory and in city.

Atlanta, Ga.— Sir: I have been thinking of writing to you for some time to let you know of the wonder ful cure your B. B. B. has effected on myself and daughter. She, a girl of 18 years, was taken with a very sore leg below the knee. I used aoout 30 bottles of other medicine to no purpose. The doctors said the only remedy left was amputation: That we all were op posed to. I was in Knoxville the 8th of Jan uary, 1887, and while buying a bill of drugs called for a good blood purifier, and Messrs. Sanford, Chamberland & Co. recommended the B. B. B. I purchased one-half dozen bot tles, and, to m.v utter surprise, after using three or four bottles, my giri’s leg was entire- lv well. I also had a very ugly running sore o~n the calf ol my leg and one bottle cured it, after trying all other remedies. I wish you much success, and I do hope that all suffering humanity may hear and believe in the only true blood purifier. I have tried three or four blood purifiers, but the B.B.B. is the only one that ever did me or mine any good. You can use my name if you wish.
