A thousand men go down to poverty and crime through speculation where one falls through lottery or the faro table. Let us take the latest sad story in real life to point the moral. The other day the business men of Philadelphia and Atlantic City were astounded to find that Mrs. Edwin Lippincott, of the latter place, had raised some $20,000 on forged paper. Mrs. Lippincott is fifty years . old, She is a lady of standing, and had a fortune of 830,000 when" she married. Her husband owns Haddon Hall, one of the most profitable summer ho tels on the Jersey coast. The discovery of the forgeries has ruined Mr. Lippincott, and will probably result in the criminal prosecution of his wife. What infernal temptation drag ged this gray-haired lady down to such a depth of crime? The whole truth lias come out. Mrs. Lippin cott saw respectable men, good men, speculating in stocks and making money. She tried her luck. For years she was a heavy buyer of stocks, and generally got on the wrong side of the market. She borrowed money of her friends, and of the hotel servants. At last she forged the names of business men on negotiable paper, and ob tained loans from person al friends, giving in return checks dated months ahead when she had not a dollar on deposit. Of course, this could not go on forever. The crash came, and she was a ruined woman and a criminal. In every community—even here in Atlanta—the victims of specu lation are following the methods of Mrs. Lippincott. Occasionally they are sent to jail, or they commit suicide, or run off to Canada. The temptation spares no class. It blasts and blights the Godly church-member as well as the thoughtless man of the world. The greatest danger of the whole busi ness is its apparent or alleged re spectability. It is easy to induce men and women to gamble when the game is called speculation. The Lippincott case should be full of warning to these reckless people whose consuming thirst for riches has made them half mad. A flannel, cloth dipped in melt ed bees-way and tallow, and put- on a child’s throat and chest, will cure wheezing, and is good for colds. Well and Happy.

I take pleasure in submitting the following statement of facts that you may know the great ben efit that has. resulted from the use of your Specific in the case of my little daughter, now ten years of age. The child, when two years old, bad a severe attack of scarlet fever, which left her with shatter ed constitution. Among other ev idences of impaired nutrition was what the doctors called softening of the bones. In her fifth year she happened to a slight accident which resulted in the dislocation the hip joint, and, from the irrita tion thus set np, terrible abscesses of the hip ensued. The abscesses, despite the best medical treatment that could be obtained, remained for three years, discharging con tinuously. At this time, through the influence of friends, 1 put her on your S. S. S. When this treat ment was commenced the abscess was very large, having six perfora tions, pus discharging through them all. During this treatment several fistulm of bone came out, and by the time she had finished her fifth bottle the abscess had en tirely healed, her appetite and gen eral health had been restored; in short, she was well and happy, and so continues. Mbs. J. A. Weigxek, upon the facts that the state au thorities in Nebraska and Kansas have fe&called upon to ask the railways for a low rate, known as an “emergency rate,” on cereals from those states. Wall street has become skeptical and fears that the farmets of the country are noff prosperous. “It has been fash ionable,” says Mr.- Armstrong, “ev er since t last year’s crops were as sured, to refer to their magnitude as an unanswearable argument in favor of an improvement in gener al business." He thinks, however, that “the luckiest farmers were those who were the quickest to market their wheat and corn, for the enormous yields of both have been a constant weight upon prices.” If the farmers are stricken, the whole nation must suffer. The poverty or prosperity of the Amer ican farmer must he the standard of our financial condition. The millions of dollars of accumulated wealth in Wall street are as noth ing compared with the millions of farmers who till the soil of the country. These farmers are the bulk of the nation. The prosperi- ty’of’one class in our country can not, as in Europe, conceal the pov erty and misery of the classes be low. The conclusion to which Mr. Armstrong arrives is entirely ex act. The farmers of America are forced to sell in a cheap free trade market, and forced to buy in a dear protected market. Bobert Giffen has read a paper before the Royal Statistical Socie ty of England, in which he esti mates the wealth of the United Kingdom in 1885. at $50,000,000, 000. This would give each inhab itant $1,350. Making a compari son of the three richest nations of the world, Mr. Giffen finds that the wealth per head of population stands as follows: Great Britain, 290; France, 190; the United States, 160. Suspicions, as translucent guests of the mind, may be useful in es tablishing the innocence which should he brought to light, or in proving the guilt which should be purged away; but as permanent inmates of the mind their influ ence is most pernicious. Suffered to remain, they rankle and fester and produce all manner of social corruptions. In 1880 the centre of population was in Kentucky, eight miles west by south of the centre of the city of Cincinnati. It is now perhaps near the town of Vernon, Ind., six ty miles west by south from Cin- cinnat.—New York Sun.
