Again, do you know that it is now conceded that yon do not own oyer 24 per cent, of the yalne ofthe tax able property? Can yon tell how this vast shrinkage has occurred? Do yon know that had your inter ests increased as fast as protected interests that you ought to be worth $20,000 to the family on the average. Now don’t yon feel and know that there is something car dinally wrong in the republican policy. The greatest good to the great est number is the true, theory of a democracy, and don’t you feel like the odd man in a baker’s dozen? Do yon know that your present congress has fastened upon you overg $100,000,000 for pensions, some $18,000,000 for rivers and harbors and untold millions put in prospective for one thing and an other? Do you know since the war you have paid in taxes, one way and another five times the amount of the national debt, and by republican legerdemain that debt represents'as great value to day as it did at the close of the war. An English woman resident in Syria reports the discovery near Beyroot of a bedstead made of gold and silver and inlaid with precious stones. An inscription upon it in English characters states that it'belonged to Eleanor, Queen of England. The bedstead was discovered in a cave, and is sup posed to have been placed there for security when Edward I. left for the east. Atlanta Unless we can accept the theo ries about the old mill at Newport, E. L, which ascribes its origin to the Norsemen, the oldest house in America is the stone fort erected by John Smith “as a retreat neere a convenient river hard to be as sailed and easie to be defended, but the want of corne occasioned the end of all our worke—it being worke sufficient to provide vict- uall.” The. house stanus near the York Eiver on the Ware creek, in Yirgina- It is immensely strong, being built of hewn stones with thick while. There is subterrane an magazine and port holes for muskets. Popular superstition has peopled it from time to time with ghostly visitors-Pocahontas, Black Beard the nirate, Nathaniel Bacon and his followers. It is a desolate vines and inhabited now only by bats and owls' innumerable. The cost of the proposed Nica ragua Canal is now placed at S65,- 000,000. The distance between the oceans is 169 miles, but only twenty-nine .miles, of .canal will have to be dug.. The San Juan Eiver must be deepened, and some artificial basins constructed in the valleys of other streams. Lake Nicaragua affords fifty miles of free, sailing. The Suez Canal, which was cut out of the soil aid sand for 100 miles, cost $81,000,- 000. A peculiar freak of nature was discovered at Palmyra a few days ago. A farmer’s wife brought in from the poultry yard a' large hen’s egg; On examination it was found to contain a well-developed yolk and white together with a well-formed egg of smaller dimen sions, the size of a guinea’s egg, with a shell as solid as the outer one. An English scientific person has discovered that sitting down is an aquired habit. The majority of mankid do not sit, but simply squat, or,/as it is sometimes said, sit on their heels. This position, the scientific person thinks, is the natural one, while sitting on a chair is an artificial one. A huge catfish was found alive imbedded in a bollow log in a mill dam at Martindale. It swam in a small hole when a little fish and was unable to find its way out and grew in thelog.—Exchange. Here is one of Sam Jones gems: “Take this thing of pensions. I told a gathering ou union soldiers not long ago, that if we rebels had known how many of them we had crippled we would have rallied and come at them again. If they are swearing the truth now they were worse whipped than we were.” Don’t let others spend the mon ey yon earn. Don’t do work unworthj' of you if you can avoid it. 175 ttE lition Zscvr Eeady.

Profiting by the advice and experi ence of a friend I commenced tak ing Swift’s Specific (S. S. S.) and the effect it had on me overshad owed all expectations.

What the hen to America the duck is to China, only a great deal more so. Duck basted, fried, boiled and baked, ducks’ eggs fried, boiled and scram bled, are found on every China man’s table at almost every meal. A well-known traveling agent for a Philadelphia carriage paper has carried off the honors for eat ing, in this city, says the Cincin nati Enquirer. At a recent meal for himself he consumed two whole chickens, fried Maryland style, five pounds; one extra porterhouse steak, ten ears of corn, cfhe dozen tomatoes Bliced with onions, one quart stewed potatoes, one dozen corn cakes and three quarts of beer.

Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield, HL, makes the statement that she caught, which settled on her lungs;! she was treated for a month by her family physician, but grew worse. He told her she was a hopeless victim of consumption and that no medicine could cure her. Her druggist suggested Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con sumption-; she bbught a bottle and to her delight found herself bene- fitted from the first dose. She con tinued its use and after taking ten bottles, found nerself * sound and well, now does her own housework and is as well as she ’ ever was.
