nine inches and there are three more plank
six inches wide with space of three, fonr

wire eight inches higher which makes the
eace four feet high. • The joints
are all stripped with six inch plank
and a good chestnut atob driven
down in the middle of every panne! and the
plank nailed to it, and the posts are sawed
off with a bevil a few inches above the
wire, and this is oar kind of a cheap farm
fence and if ary farmer knows of a better
one I would like to know it.. I don’t know
exactly how long a good chestnut post will
last, but naber Freeman says he nas seen
one up in Gordon that a gate was bang to by
Gei eral Desoto, or some other feller, and
i«’a ihere yet. He says a chestnut sorrel
horse will last longer than any other
color. I wish I could find a
chestnut sorrel cow. I would buy her, for
old Bess is dead. She was a noble animal,
and we all loved her like a friend. She has
given us about six thousand gallons of milk
—good, rich, healthy milk—but she will
never give any more in this world. She
has gone where the good cows go, if they go
anywhere, and I reckon they do. The cow
pen looks lonesome now, and Mrs. Arp is
sad, for Bess was ber favorite, and she knew
it. She was a game cjw, and dis
dained a dog as much as possible.
Old Bows tried to nose her one day,
■nd she throw’d him up about fifteen feet
and he come down on her back, bat he
dident stay there long. They never made

peace and have become reconciled, for they

now to plant-corn and my boys are halt
crazy for a cultivator. I reckon they are
good tbiug and save labor, but
saw one at work last summer
and the darkey who drove it broke down a
power of corn in turning at the end of the
rows and a right smart at other places where
the stocks were a little out of a bee line
They can’t dodge round like a single plow.
I wish there was some better way to drop
corn and have it all come np in a perfect
row, and I wish there was some contrivance
to lay off corn rows and cottoD rows per
fectly parallel. The mule has to have sense,
and the man, too, to make a decent farrow
and not many of them have got it. I won
der if a man coulden’t ride a horse and pall
after him a thing with wooden teeth that
would mark several rows at once, though
I woolden’t advise the using of it in stampy
land or new ground. I like to see a farm
look like a great big garden that is laid off
and worked by a line. Gardening is my

boys, but before I got the first one to its

was knock-kneed and box-aokled, and

Nxw Yoxx, Much 19.—The apostles ol the cot
ton exposition are abroad in the land.
Mr. H. L Kimball, the chairman of the execu*
tire committee, has been here lor two days making
canvass of those interested preparatory to going
into New England. Mr. Rj ckmsn, the secretary,
left yesterday for a trip through New England,
where he goes to ascertain officially and exactly
how much space the various exhibitors will need.
The interest in the enterprise Is astonishing,
and win reenlt in a very large crowd. The
applications forspaoe from exhibitors is very
large already, and three machine men have
already taken over 1,000 feet each—the charge
being one dollar a foot. Ryckman has met no
yet .who has declined to take space, but there
is some trouble in getting the exhibitors down
to exact figures. This must be done soon so that
the plans of the building may be made. Mr.
Blackwp 11, of Durham, haa offered $10,OX) for the
privilege of making exclusively an exhibition of
tobacco alongside of the cotton exposition.
The spirit of those interested in the matter in
the north is fitly expressed by Mr. Stockton Bates,
of the Bridesburgh manufacturing company, who
says that he is ready to contribute ss much time
and money as the eommltteenhoaxht fit to
him. He wrote to ssy that be would go down to
Atlanta to consult with the committee, but found
that Mr. Ryckman was ccmlng north. There is

Mr. John Inman> haa done invaluable service
for the expbsition in New York. His command
ing influence, and his practical way of patting
things, secured much stock and aroused much
interest. Mr. Kimball is enthusiastic, and says
that be bad rather see the exposition such a suc
cess as be now thinks certain than to be governor

aud with good effect. He has made an attempt

Gxoroia contains 761,184 males and
777,864 females. This is official. To be
exact, we have an excess of females to
the extent of 16,680; or as the census
bulletin puts it, we have to every 100,000
mates 102,191 females. The difference in
number between the two sexes has how
ever sensibly decreased since 1870, when
to every 100,000 males there were 101,525
females. Superintendent Walker says
that in old settled agricultural commu
nities the sexes should be very nearly
equal in nnmber, females being slightly
in txett*. Georgia just about fills the
bill. ,
Among Representative Hammond's
work in the past congress stands the new
trademark law, which was almost wholly
his own. He found the whole matter in
greet confusion, there really being no
protection for certain classes of trade-
marksatlthoogh some of them are of great
value. The new law differs from the act
of 1870 on the subject, in that it author-
itee the registration of trademark* only
by persons who are owners of trademarks
which are used m commerce with foreign
countries or with the Indian tribee, and
who are domiciled in the United State*
or in a foreign country which, by treaty,
convention or law, permits citizens of the
United States to register trademarks.
The new act seems to have been drawn
in substantial acknowledgment ol the
propriety ol the decision of the supreme
court, which held that congress had no
right to regulate even the registration of
trademarks by citizens of the Umfhd
States who were deeding only within this
country. Owners ol trademarks which
are chiefly or entirely need on merchan
dise of home consumption are, as hereto
fore, protected by common law, while
the registration act merely authorises
the registration of trademarks that relate
to merchandise used in foreign com
merce. The thirteenth section provides
that citterns of this country wbo wish to
register their trademarks in foreign conn-
tries which msy require as a condition
precedent the regietration of their trade
mark in thi* country may first register
fheir trademarks here.

DAMERON’S DEVICE.
A Idttdlerons Episode in a Hetbodlat
Controversy.
8t. Louis, March 17 —Trouble has broken
ont afresh between Logan Dameron, the re
ligions publisher of St. Louis, and St. John’s
Methodist Episcopal church, the wealthy
organization of that denomination in St.
Louis. Last fall Mr. Dameron bought a pew
in the church, and paid down the required
money in advance. 8oon after the deposit
was returned to him, with the information
that the official board had decided not to
rent a pew to him whereupon the unsuc
cessful pew renter pubUsned a card in
which he spoke his mind with great open
ness. and gave Messrs. Scruggs and Cupoles,
whom he alluded Jo as “Dick” and “Ham
my,” a rather severe castigation. The
gentlemen referred to are two of the largest
merchants in St. Louis The bad feeling
dates back 10 years, to a time when a young
girl died in a hospital, claiming to have been
wrobged by Dameron. Later there was a
quarrel with Dameron about tbe manage
ment of the Christian Advocate, and finally
St. John’s dosed its doors against Dameron
The old feud has come np every few months,
tbe standing of all tbe parties making it the
sensation of tbe day. Dameron has repeat
edly declared be was going to worship in
St. John’s. Oo Sunday be kept hia word,
but in a most singular manner. As service
was about to begin Logan D. Dameron en
tered the church, and stalked boldly up tbe
middle aisle. Tma in iteelf was an unlooked
for occurrence, bat greater still was the
surprise when it was seen that Mr Dameron
carried a camp stool under his right arm.
All eyea were fixed upon tb.- new comer,
and he continued to walk calmly up
through the middle aisle, and wben be
reached the open space between thechanctl
and tbe pews he unfolded the stool
and complacently seated himself upon it
rhe surprise which the scene occasioned
was soon dispelled,- and many persons
buried their laces in their prayer-books as
tbey smiled quietly at tbe ludicrous nature
of the performance. Mr Dameron sat un
moved. He followed the whole service with
great uncuon and without once indicating
in any way that be knew that his conduct
was remarkable. A polite usher approach
ed him and whispered in his ear. Mr
Dameron shook his head. The usher whis
pered again, and was seen pleading with the
man wbo seemed to be taking tbe church
fora picnic around, at the same time point
ing toward tbe seats. Tbe possessor of the
tamp stool again shook bia bead, this time
uco'e determinedly, aad the usher walked
away. "He made an unsuccessful at
tempt to have Mr. Dameron take
his seat in one of the many empty pews
which were at bis service, but the latter
had refused. He was there to emphasize a
principle, and he meant to do it. He would
not sit in a pew for which he did Dot pay
In his card he had -asked the pastor. Dr.
Tudor, to delegate some spot in the church
where he could stand during the service,
but he had evidently altered his mind and
had proposed to sit in a location where he
could turn bis back upon his enemies
The service went on, ana nobody took the
least notice of the man who was doing the
Lone Fisherman act in front. Mr. Dameron
•at through the exercises, and when ail w
over he folded his “pew” and. tacking
away under his farm, f armed himself into
line, and marched down toward the door
Many who had not fnlly under
stood what was going- on dor
mg the service now brgmn to see
what was cu. and smiles ana laughter fol
lowed the man with the camp stool, as he
moved toward tbe door. He paid no atten
tion, but marched off borne, carrying the
stool with him ss a token of h : s triumph.
The affair exsied very great pom ment, and
the general sentiment waa that the policy
punned by tbe church members of otter
silence in regard to Mr. Dameron’s attacks

army, in society, and so forth, have been insti
tuted in all pane of the empire. New agencies
are yet to be opened.
yet too strong, the party must take upon Itself
the initiative in the revolutionary outbreak
When and how cannot, oi course, be published.
' It is a notable fact that there were in New
Yorx last night large gatherings ot men. who met
to openly indorse and approve the murder ef ibe
czar. It is hard,to see now any lover of liberty
can rejoice that Alexander II is dead. No one
man ever, by his own act, gave freedom to so
many slaves as the slain czar. The emancipation
bad nerved him to new exploits, and that
his last act waa tbe result of careful del.h-
Ration about the best way of getting < ven.
The newspapers have got bold of the feud.
Tbe assassination of the czar of Russia marks
the opening ot the moat terrible conflict known to
modem history.
Witn the death of Alexander begins the struggle
assassins with tyrants—of nihilists with auto
crats—of fanatics with feudists. Justice Schwab,
the thick-necked leader ol the communists,
mingled prophecy with humor when he said to
day, pointing to a picture in his saloon, ol three
men sitting behind three dishes:
That dish,’’ pointing to the middle one, “will
be filled to-morrow with Alexander's head. That
fellow to the right is Gambetta, and on the left is
Bismarck. We always keep some empty dishes
for these royal birds, but as each takes his turn
into the plate his head will go."
It has been demonstrated that the secret society
cannot be put down by the power of the govern
ment. Repressive measures are greatly likened to
titling on the safety valve. The prison
and the gallows, exile and death, have proved
alike futile. The nihilists are not peasants or
serfs, striking blindly, with the spasmodic energy
of brutes. They are scholars, fired with in tell ec
tual frenzy—fanatics, who accept martyrdom as a
consequence and put their lives in jeopardy with
their opinions. The unerring and tireless pre
cision with which they have pursued the most
powerful monarch of earth to his death,establishes
their order as a terrorism. Human life has been a
trifle too cheap to consider in strikiug down the
ht-ad of the autocrat system. Six. times have
attempts been made to murder the czar. Each
time the assassins were slain, and, yet, from the
fd'.ent ranks of the conspirators, have come
volunteers, anxious to die in the attempt to kill
the enemy of their older. Each time have other
been struck down by the blow aimed
at the ezir, and yet to the last the bolt has been
thrown, heedless and cruel, through innocent
lives, that it might reach Its afm at last.
A prominent nihilist named May gives the
following information concerning the objects and
power of this oigaulzation, of which so little is
known and so much is to be dreaded.
"Mr. May. what do you think will be the effect
of this assassination on the government and the
secret societies?"
It will do a great deal of good in Russia and
Increase oppression in Germany. The new czar
and his ministers will be frightened into a humane
and liberal policyyaud likely one ot the first acts
of his reign will be to proclaim a general amnesty
and throw open the prison doors of Siberia.'
'Will not the same feeling prevail in the minds
of the powers at Berlin r*
'No; the man of blood reigns there, and Bis
marck knows no other policy than that of re
pression. The German socialists will be prose
cuted worse than ever. But their time will come
and the huge fabric of German despotism will be
shattered before them."
“Is it true that Pans is the parent of all these
international societies?"
“Undoubtedly. I have known Russian noble
men to come to the world’s metropolis and to set
tbemselve* to the task of learning some trade.
One would work as a machinist, another
builder and a third as a shoemaker, and so
Russian ladies of rank and wealth would learn to
be milliners and dressmakers. It may appear in
credible, bat it Is no less true. I have met them
in their working dresses looking just like
any other artisans, and on fete nights I have
the same individuals in gorgeous uniform 01
let Among the workingmen they imbued senti
meats of freedom and equality, which they
disseminated everywhere when they returned
home. Mark my words, Russia will be content
with nothing leas than a constitutional
archy.”
“And Germany V*
“Her time will come next. Bismarck is not
invulnerable, anthe friends of liberty are irre
pressible."
“Have yon ever been engaged in conspiracies
of this kind."
“Yes; in 18631 joined a conspiracy against the
Emperor Napoleoo. A miscalculation of a frac
tion of a minute on our part saved him. There
were over two hundred of twin the Boulevard,
through which his carriage passed, and each of us
was armed. He was nearer death for some
ments than at any other period of his life. Yet
the police knew nothing about it until after the
fall of the empire. You cannot extirpate these
societies. The members are prepared to meet
death in carrying out their designs, and in Russia
tbe execution of a number of nihilists does-not
interfere ia the slightest degree with the fulfill
meat of their mission by brethren who step into
( their places. There will be the sword of justice
constantly suspended over the tyrant’s head until
the people get their rights."
It is hard to see how the iroh prince can
the doom threatened him in the above. The
nihilists have such perfect organization that their
meeting places cannot be discovered—such dew
tion from Its members that when one is captured
he will die rather than betray its secrets—such
unyielding obedience that the knife of the
sin fits as easily in the hand of the humblest
nihilist as the key of the lodge door,
la hardly too much to say that if tbe nihilist
councils were to decree that every crowned head
in Europe should fall, there is no power that
could prevent the assaadnatioa oi at least many
of them. It is to be (cared that the snccessof the
plot against the czar will incite the socialists to
further crimes.
It will be perceived from the slightest study of
the purposes of the nihilists or socialist* that it is
impossible for any ruler to compromise with
them. To even treat with an association that
openly proclaims assassination as part of its
methods, is ont of the question. But even If
compromise were proposed, the plans of the
nihilists are so utterly revolutionary that no
common ground could be reached.
The essential purpose of nihiliim
the destruction of government, the transfer of all
private cwuership in land to a central commune
and the transmission of all Lctories and shops
into the hands of cooperative societies.
I present below the articles of faith ol the nihi
list party, in order that onr readers maythor
oughly understand the aims and methods of what
is destined to be one of the most tremendous
social and political forces la the next stage of
development:
Thi* programme, from the Rusrian original,
reads as follows:
A—We are socialists and champions of the
people. We hold that socialism ftoue can insure
to humanity the blessings of liberty, equality and
fraternity. We hold that the will of the people
can alone sanction and achieve the social reforms
we contemplate. No idea or social institution can
prosper if it is impoeed on the people.
B.-[In this paragraph the misery-and suffer-
1 gs of the R m hi an working class, resulting from
exorbitant taxation and arbitrary administra
tion, are exposed ] *
C—1. We hold, therefore, the overthrow of the
present government to be our first and foremost
duty. By thi* revolution our nation shall attain
—1. the faculty of an independent development
of all its forces, according to its own will and
customs; 3. the poatibility of a further gro - th o(
the socialistic institution*, forming a part of our
national life, such as the artel (workmen associa
tions). the obstchina (land commune) etc.
3- We hold that the will of the people may be
clearly expressed in a national assembly, elected
by universal suffrage, which, though by not any
means an ideal form of expression, is neverthe
less the only one pomible under the present or-
and best of the Romanoffs, and the time will
soon come when Russians will wish that he were
once mor« upon the throne. In the meantime,
the student of history and the lover of human
liberty will have the opportunity o£ stndyio - ~
mostia;et I and por^entious social and pol
steugg e that the world has ever teen. Mu
is but the Russian phra e ol a revolutionary com
muuism that has its lodgement among every
pe?» le in Europe, and has even made its impras
upon American sentiment.

RAISING COTTON.
Lawrknceyille, March 9.—I have been
experimenting four or five years with cot
ton rows three and four feet wide, and
find that rows four feet wide make .as large
yield as those three feet wide. Three feet
rows and under are adhered to by the farm
in this part cf the country almost tra
ditionally. The principal part of the
pense in the cultivating of cotton is the
hoeing, as all farmers who cultivate cotton
know. Having more land than labor, abcu
five years ago, I planted pan of my cotton
four feet wide—I had been planting three
feet. I knew I would save a fourth in the
hoeing, but did not think it would fall off
a fourth in the yield, and was surprised
yself to find that tbe fonr feet rows
yielded as mnch as the three feet, but such
is the fact. I measured off two acres _
land and laid it off by stakes, one acre four
feet wide, the other three, each acre about
•he same kind of land—thin, sandy land
It was sown in wheat the year before. I put
two hundred pounds guano to each acre,
that made a fourth more in the drill of the
tour feet rows than in the three. In thin
ning the cotton in the four feet rows I left
two stalks standing, the width of a good
sized hoe; the three feet I thinned to one
stalk the same distance apart. The two
acre3 made sixteen hundred pounds. The
four feet rows five and one half pounds the
most. The next year tbe result was tbe
same. The next year was a dry year, and
the four feet rows made the most The last
two years I have plantedall my cotton our
feet wide, and I ao not expect
to plant any other way in the futnre.
Now, to enlarge the operation, take a one
hundred acre field and a seventy five acre
field of stubble land. The land would need
breaking up before running off to put in
guano. Ot course it would take a fourth
longer to break up the one hundred acres
than the seventy-five. Then start in two
plows, one in each fie!d,4o running off the
rows—the one hundred acres four feet wide,
the seventy-five three feet. Each would
finish at the same time. The same in dis
tributing the guano, laying
plant, sowing the seed, covering
and boarding off if that be done.
In plowing, what is called running around
the cotton, the one hundred acres will be
fiuished as quick as the seventy five. Tbe
one hundred acres will be hoed in the same
time, and so on through the cultivation,
except when the whole row -is plowed out
iu the plowing, then it will take a fourth
longer on the one hundred acres. It
can be seen at once that there is not a very
gn at, diffeiencc in cultivating one hundred
acres and seventy-five in that manner. I
do not suppose there is an experienced
cotton planter in this part of the country (I
am only alluding to cotton planting i
this part of the country) that would for
moment conclude that the seventy-five
acres would yield as much as the one
hundred It is very plain then that
same labor will make more money on four
feet rows than three. Thinking it may
of benefit to farmers, I send you this
publication, supposing you would do
knowing the interest your paper takes
agriculture.

Washisgtox, March 11.—The attorneys
or the holders of the repudiated bonds of
Georgia have adopted a new policy. It is
that used by the New Hampshire holders of
Louaiana bonds. They could not sue the
state, but they were confident that the
bonds held by them wcnld be adjudged
binding on the state if they conld ever come
before the courts. The question how to get
them there racked the ingenuity of finan
cier and counsel. The proposition to secure
amendment to the constitution which
would allow a state to be sued was clearly
impracticable, or if possible could only be
accomplished after a long time. A bright
idea struck one of tlfe New Hampshire
bondholders. It was to get I
legislature of his state to pass
statute authorizing the governor to accept
bonds, claims, etc, from citizens of the
state as trustee or agent of the state. The
legislature did as it was asked, and in s
little while the state of New Hampsire in
formed the state of Louisiana that it held
certain of its bonds which were due and for
which the money would be acceptable.
Then the legal fight began on terms of
equality. Louisiana was confronted by a
plaintiff who was a peer and could not be
estopped by the plea of sovereignty. The
case has been argued with great force before
the United States courts and must ulti
mately be decided in the supreme
court. The principle involved ia one
of grave importance affecting the
rights of thu states 1 on points which
are not now clearly defined. The New
York holders of Georgia bonds are trying to
get the legislature ef their state to enact *
law similar to that in New Hampshire, and
the chances are that they will succeed Then
tbe state ot New York and the state ot
Georgia will both be interested in the de
cisien of the New Hampshirexase. Such a
law as that asked in New York would not
apply to the foreign -owners of Georgi-
bonds, unless it went so fares »o allow citi
zensof the state toassrgn to the governor
bonds which they had not originally pur
chased from Georgia, but had procured from
their purchasers. Some of the German
bondholders are in New York now
looking after a million and a half
of Georgia bonds tney hold. At
tomey-General Anderson was looking
into these questions during his recent stay
in Washington, and wben uny of them ar*-
sprung his legal ability will be found ol
great value to thestate. The holders of the
bonds are not making such &u effort
arouse the public opinion of the north
their favor as they did a year ago, but are
closely watching the plans which seeu
likely to pave tfceir way into the federal
court*. For the next few years this will be
one of the live issues of interest to Georgia

A merchant would hardly stake his all on a single
venture, without thinking of the mishaps that
might befall. Do not our planters ba • me the
wont kind of speculators when they risk all their
past fend future gains and coming hopes on a sin
gle production which mav become a drug on the
market because the supply exceeds the demand?
It would seem natural that those wi hout other
resources would first desire to make themselves
safe from contingencies before they venture upon
a course of pertt. One man can take himself as a
sample of every other. If he believes cotton'is the
only money crop he will plant largely and so will
everybody else, and the yield be immense. Why,
it is now estimated by many that
sixteen million acres were planted in the fleecy
staple last spring From the inc< eased request for
fertilizers it is luferred the acreage will be in

Mr. Hill has one of the choicest places
the list. The chairmanship of tne com

as good a place, indeed, as th* senator could
have chosen if he had had ti e committees
all at his disposal. And then In? c-ws to the
committee on the judiciary wntre he will
be very valuable to his party. The fact
that thedemocrats hist their best laVver
the 4tb, gives a new importance to the sen
ator from Georgia.
The efforts of tbe democrats to organize
the senate Friday showed how well matched
the. partiea will be in that body for the next
two years. The democrats are evidently
under the lead of Pendleton, who seems to
be more accomplished than able. Conk ling
has either been delegated, or has Assumed
tbe leadership of the republicans with
nrands ever at his side, and ready with
cold, clear reason.
There will. be many a well contested
question between these two evenly-balanced
power* The first clash came Friday, and
though the democrats were prevented
from carrying their point, thev
had clearly the best of the
•argument on the construction of the rules
of the senate. And the strongest argumen
on the democratic side was that of “our
Ben” Hill. He was somewhat annoyed by
little Ferry, who reiterated again and again
the same question. Mr. Hill had made
Ferry appear ridiculous, when the lordly
Cockling came to the rescue and tried
sneer down tbe Georgia senator. He wes
even more than usually patronizing. Hi»
studied sarcasm and his defiant tone had

in dealing with his equal. He
must have seen the force

to flurry the speaker, but he failed. Mi.
Hill was cool, even pleasant. He met
Conkling wilh his own weapons, and had
reason to be satisfied with tbe result. The
frequent passes which these Gained dis
putants made at each ether were highly
e joyed by the gallenes. They broke the
dullness of the capitol very nicely. . The
republicans put up such a flimsy case
Friday that it was plainly only a fillibus
tering movement. They intend to keep-np
such tactics until they have all their
vacant seats full, and then they will proba
bly organize the seriate. All de

cans claim his vote with such
absolute confidence that there is little hope
of bis doing his duty. He continues to play
the role of the spbynx, apparently delighted
with the mystery which surrounds him.-

The question of an extra session is now
under advisement. It may be settled in the
cabinet meeting Tuesday. I^epublican
leaders generally desire it. They want to
get control of tbe entire machinery of tbe
government as aeon as possible. Tbe pres:-,

will yield to the force of argument in its
favor.
Our republican friends are bard at
work. Among the many applicants
from Georgia are several Atlanta
colored politicians, who desire pieces

influential colored republicans say
they are not seeking any office for them
selves. and are here merely to aid their
friends and to secure, if they can, a fair
share of patronage for the negro Tbe,

He bolds one of the first
places on the Herald staff with a salary

In a previous issue of this paper a general
statement was given of the alarming in
crease of kidney and liver disease and the
only known absolute cure for them. To-day
present epitomized interviews of the
Boston, Chicago and St. Louis papers with
prominent people*of those cities wbo have
been to their complete amazement and un
bounded satisfaction cured by Warner’s Safe
Kidney and Liver Cure when all the best
physicians pronounced them beyond the
hope of recovery.
Boston-a Tale.
First hear what B. F. Larrabee, of the
New York and Boston Dispatch Express
company, of Boston, tells the Globeof that
city. - His case is certainly the modern
miracle of healing:
“A little over a year ago I was taken sick,
but I allowed the illness to run along until
on the 28th day of October, 1879, I fell
prostrate while walking along Tremom
street. I was carried home and did not go
out ot the house until the middle of De
cember. I then went down town and
attempted to attend to my business until
the 13ih of last January, when I was takei
with a very severe relapse. My symptom*
were terrible; I was tearfully - bloated; I
suffered severe pains in all parts of the body,
and it was almost impossible to get my
breath. For six days I never laid dow-n and
never slept. I was'ccnstantly attended by
my regular physician. Dr Johnson, and Dr.
Bowditch also came to see me nearly every
day. There was no doubt that I was suf-
tering lrom Bright’s disease of the kidneys
in its worst form anil 'ast stages, accompa
nied by other troubles iu my liver aud
heart. In spite, however, of the skill of
the physicians, I
KEPT GROWING WORSE,
and finally they Upped my side in the
cicinity of the heart, taking away forty-six
ouncts of water. This relieved me for the
irae, but I soon became as bad as before.
Then the doctors gave me up entirely,
declared I could not live morethau twenty
four hours and my daughter, who was r
iding in Paris, was telegraphed for. Still .
ingerea along for several w eeks, far moie
dead than alive, but never giving up hope.
One night—it was tin the 20th of April, 1
very well remember—my attendant, who
was reading the paper to me, began ar
article which described my disease and
sufferings exactly. It told how some severe
cases of Bright’s Disease had be >n cured,
md so clearly and-sensibly did it state the
case that I determed to try the means
cure which it described. So I sent my n
to tbe drug store, procured a bottle of tbe
medicine, unknown to my physicians and
friends, and took the first dose at 10 o’clock,
At that time I was
SUFFERING INTENSELY.
I could not sleep; I had the short breaths
Htul could scarcely get any air into my
tungs. I Whs terribly bloated from head to
toot, and the motion of my heart ws9 irreg
ular and painful. I continued to take the
medicine, and to day, sir, I am as well
ever 1 was in my life, and wholly owing
the wonderful, almost miraculous power
Warner’s 8afe Kidney and Liver Cure,
aved my life when I was given up by tK
doctors and had really been dead for weeks,
and it has kept me in perfect health ever
since and has cured manv of my friends
whom I have recommended it.”
When the Globe interviewed one of the
prominent physicians of the “Hub/’ Dr.
A. Johnson, in this case, he said: “He 1
family physician and expected
Tbriuinc than Chaueer’a or
Dickens’s,

Cure, and it has done me more good than
the combined skill of all the physicians I
have ever tried daring my entire life.”
Tlie impression produced upon the mind
! the writer by the .earnest and sincere
manner of Mrs Fleming, was very power
ful, and fixed the conclusion which the
preceding testimonials bad awakened. That
conclusion, which every candid reader will
admit, is as .follows: First, That kidney,
liver and bladder diseases have greatly
increased in this country within the past
few yeffis; and secondly, that a remedy
which has been proven so valuable in ao
many serious cases may well be considered
blissing to the thousands who are suffer-
ig from one or more of these terrible
diseases.

never cal.ed to see him during that time,
but he was prepared for it. The doctor said
be recovery was due to Warner’s Safe Kid
tiey and Liver Cure, and if he had friends,
male or femate, troubled with kidn.y
troubles he should certaiuly advise them

Another one, Dr. M. E. Webb, said:

Chicago's Tale.
The Chicago Tribune, struck by tbe
markable cures Warner’s Safe Kidney and
Liver Cure were accomplishing in'that city
and under direction of the regular phys;
cians, sent out a reporter and from it*
column of interviews with prominent
people we extract the following;
A call was made at the extrusive store v -
C Jevne, Nos. 110 and 112 Madison street
Mr. Jevne rotroductd the investigator
Mr. Frank A. Clelaud, a gentleman in L«
employ, whose father, Mr. Samuel Cleland,
was known to have been very low with
kidney disease Mr Cleland said: “My
father was treated by a host of doctors, and
treed any quantity of xuedicines, but beg
so bad that not only he, but all his friem
had .

of his recovery. He was finally recom
mended to try Warntr’e Safe Kidney and

We do not, any of ns. know anything about
the remedy, but it did a wonderful thing in

for he is an old jonrnalist and knows how
to talk to newspapermen.”
At the first window in the West Division

ton streets, Mr. A. Q. Brown, the head ol
hat division was lound. Upon being

expected she would get up again. Indeed,
I never went home but I wls prepared to

TRIED EVERYTHING
we could think of, and the doctors were
very kind. At last she began taking War
ner s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, and '
effect was very marked at once. She . c -
gamed her strength and spirits, has been able
to attend to ail her duties, and the terrible
sinking spelis she formerly had have never
returned. I consider it a most marvellous
cure, and I cannot speak of the remedy
highly. Upon my recommendation
fatber-in law, Mr. Lathrcp, who was al*o
terribly afflicted with kidney trouble, began
using the same remedy, and v at not only
entirely cured, but also relieved of a most
painful stricture.”
Dr. T. T. Oliver, who was conversant with
Mrs. Brown’s case, said that she had been
in a
MOST PRECARIOUS CONDITION.
Her heart and lungs were badly affected
owing to the diseased condition of her kid
neys and liver, aud the liability to sudden
death had been imminent. “You consider
then, doctor, that Warner’s Safe Kidney
and Lvver Cure was the efficient element
in effecting her cure, do you?” ‘ Most de
cidedly,” answered the doctor, “and her
cure seems to be as permanent as it is grati
fying.”

F.ROM WASHINGTON.
8pedal dispatch to The Constitution.
Washington, March 14 —It is amusing
see the Republican this morning put
Governor Brown in the attitude of a mal
content who is ready to 00 operate with a
movement to secure the control of the
seuate to an independent faction. The
origin of such talk was a foolish squib in
the Post a few days ago and, like many
other things in that able organ, was a mild
digression from the truth. There is no
man whote counsel in the democratic
caucus is more valued than is Senator
Brown’s. On no man does the party more
implicitly rely in the close contest for
the supremacy in the senate. The Repub
lican counts on Senator I*ham
rlhms as another new-born in
dependent, probably with as much
reason, it claims Governor Brown.
Collector Andrew Clark, of Atlanta,
here. There hiive been violent attacks
made on him by the republicans of Geor
gia who have hitherto opposed him, and by
M>me new enemies who waut his office.
Clark b a cautious man. He b conducting
-quiet campaign which he takes care not
> noise abroad. In this he shows a wisdom
his opponents would do well to imitate. It
is claimed that he can satisfactorily answer
all charges against him. When he haa
done so, if he can, I wouid not be surprised
if he assumed the aggressive, and revealed
some very interesting tacts.
The best informatioi. relative to Georgik
ppointmema is that the president will till
any vacancies that may exbt but will act
slow in miking new ones.
The manihalship may rest until next
winter, though there is a powerful pressure
to secure an immediate chance.
The opposition toMr.Terrell, the superin
tendent of railway mail service for several
south* rn states, does not promise to be for
midable. He has made a model officer*
The antagonism to him comes from men
who want hfc place, «nd to secure it brio?

Pprcr Lawshe holds the Gainesville post-
office by a disputed tenure. There are several

danger.
No change will be made in the Griffin

tew months hence, and eveu then tie
chances of Mr. Lognn are good for another
term He has made a very efficient officer.
Mr. Glover, the postmaster at Macon, is
another victim marked for slaughter The
friends of Mr. Brown, secretary of the state
republican committee, urge him for the
snug position, but Mr. Glover tightens hb
grip and signifies an intention to “holdon
until it thunders.”
If all our aspiring friends in Georgia are
allowed to continue their conflict until

ed. There is no love lost between thorn

The Mexican ministry is one of the best
places Garfield has to give. It may be
brought into great importance by the dis
putes which are liable to arise between the
United States and Mexico in the next four
years. General Lungstreet would like to

agement of our Mexican affaire Few men
are more familiar with the Mexican people
and government than he. Garfield likes

German mission a few months ago and now
Young says “no, I thank you,” to a proffer
of the Mexican ministry. •
-—It turns out that Mr. James Atkins
did not marry a relative of Mrs Garfield,
nut an it.ti mate friend. His claims to
consideration from the administration rest
on better reason than such an accident, for
he is conspicuous among Georgia republi
cans, both for ability and character. His
appointment to some good place would be
^ratifying to many democrats, for the
highest privilege of democrats in the next
four years will be to discriminate among
the republicans who are to have the fat
things of federal patronage.
The nomination of Second Lieutenant
George Sage, of the Fifth artillery, to
