The Fbiladelpbia Prees says that amid all the mutations of time, it has never yet been discovered why a law¬ yer calls any legal document a brief. Delaware is the only state in the Union which hasn't a single Republican official. A clean sweep has been, made and the Democrats are on dick. This has been a week of lovely Spring weather, just such as the gar¬ dener and farmer delights to see. The birds aro singing, the buds are sweHitig, and everything betokens the advont of an early Spring. Enolasd proposes to adopt a novel protective duty. It is proposed to impose a tax of $25 a year upon nil foreigners working in England. It is estimated that the tax would yield about $2,500,000 a year, and would fall principally upon Germans. --— A Sensational dispatch is going Iho rounds of the press lo the effect that Brigham Young is Ht ill niive and that bin reported death and bu rial soveral years ago was ft hoax.

Now if sumo one will take Spies place on the scaffold everything will bo lovely with the newly mar ried couple. A special dispatch from Winnepeg, Manitoba, wiy*; “intelligence from Lessor Slave Luke announces that tlio Indians there tire dxing from starvation and pestilence. Over 130 died last month from measles, and us the fisheries have failed and rabbits nnd lynx deserted Hie country, they have no inenns of subsistence. With the extension of the A. T. & L. Railroad from Amcricus east ward to the Oemulgoo river, and northward Irom Antioch to Colum¬ bus, there would bo a line of narrow gttugo nearly 150 miles in length, nnd would be otto of tho best prying railroads in the South. Let the good work go on to i n tarly complo tion. The citizens of Stewart county will do all iu their power to aid in the construction of this cud of the road through their territory. A Richmond, Vn., machine shop hat, according to the Richmoud Dis¬ patch, just completed a cotton bar vaster that will gather cotton from tho stalks aud put it in bags ns the machine is d.-awn by horse power along tho cotton row. It is estimat cd that it will pick about 90 pc-r cent, of the open cotton, ami during a day will pick from 3,000 to 3,500 pounds. To do this work all that is required is two horsos or mules, a driver, and a boy to empty the bags when they are filled. Mr. C. E. Graves is the inventor, and Messrs. Henry, Samuel aud Cornelius Samp 8"m, of Reidsville, N. C, are jointly, with Sir. Graves, tho owners of the invention. ------- - Of tho weather, tho New York Herald writes: “Tho January of 18 87 is about closing without a record of groat cold in this section. The tuermometer so far in New York has not fallen below six degrees above z o, though in some years it has reg¬ istered six degrees below zero, or even record more, and on down January 12, 1386, the went three degrees lower than it has done this month. The mean temperature of the present month in this city is now about 29.5 degrees, or within a very small frac¬ tion of what lhe average for many years is. As two-thirds of tho win ter of 1886 87 are now in the past, we may hope for a break up of cold suasoiu__ If a branch of the A. P. & L. rail road is constructed from Antioch to Florence, why cannot Eufaula take hold of it and help put it through to that city, which by that time we hope, will have the Eufaula and St. Andrews Bay ll. R in course of con¬ struction ? This would give Euiaula aud St Audrews Bay au outlet by a route almost with tho line of the compass North nnd South, aud would mnke St. Audrews a great place of summer nnd winter resort, and Eufaula would get the benefit of n large travel, besides an increased share of uur trade. While the ttt lerprising merchants and citizens of Eufaula are bending their energies to the construction of a R U. south¬ ward, let them think of the advan¬ tages of direct connection t.orth vord.

Lebanon Shakers Found—Incident in the His¬ tory of a Quiet Community. The Mount Lebanon (New York) Shakers are a quiet com¬ munity, secluded from the fret and worry of the outside world. They are widely known, how¬ ever, for their strict honor and probity in business. The Shakers believe that na¬ ture has a remedy for every dis¬ ease. A few have been found— the rest are as yet unknown. Many were discovered by acci¬ dent. Others came to light as the result of patient experiment and research. Nervous Dyspepsia is a com¬ paratively conditions new disease, of growing modern out of the life. digestive It is a joint affection and of the of the organs nervous system. These two were formerly treated as sepa¬ left rate ailments, and it was for the clear-sighted that the basis Shakers of this to prove terrible and often, fatal compli¬ cation lies cl lie fly in the disord¬ ered anil depraved functions of digestion and nutrition. They in¬ reasoned thus:—“If we can duce the stomach to do its work, and stimulate tRe excre¬ tive organs to drive out of the body which the poisonous remain after waste the mat¬ life ters giving elements of the food have been absorbed, we shall have conquered Nervous Exhaust- Dys¬ pepsia find Nervous ion.
