Iim yet been discovered; but, a*at least
four-fifths of human diseases have their
source in Impure Blood, a incdlclno
which restores thnt fluid from a de
praved to a healthy condition comes fts
near being a universal cure as nny that
can be produced. Ayer’s Sarsaparilla
affects the blood in each stage of its
formation, and is, therefore, adapted to
a greater variety of complaints than any
other known medicine.
Boils and Carbuncles,
which defy ordinary treatment, yield to
Ayer's Sarsaparilla after a comparative
ly brief trial.
Mr. C. K. Murray, of Charlottesville,
Va., writes that for years he was af
flicted with boils which caused bint
much suffering. These were succeeded
by carbuncles, of which he had several
at one time. He then began the use of
Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and after taking
throe bottles, the earbnuclos disap
peared, and for alx years he has not had
even a pimple.
iThat Insidious disease, Scrofula, is
the fruitful cansc of innumerable com
plaints, Consumption being only one of
many equally fatal. Eruptions, ulcers,
soro eyes, glandular swelling*, weak
And wasted muscles, u capricious appe
tite, and the like, are pretty sure indi
cation)! of a acrofiilous taint in the
.system. Many otherwise beautiful faces
are disfigured by pimples, eruptions,
and unsightly blotches, which arlso
from Impure blood, showing the need of
Aysr’s Sarsaparilla to remedy the evil.
All sufferers from blood disorders
should give Ayer’s Horsaparilia a fair
trial,—avoiding all powders, ointments,
and washes, and especially cheap mid
worthless compounds, which not only
fail to effect a cure, but more frequently
aggravate and coiitirm the diseases they
are fraudulently advertised to remedy.

Chief Justice Jackson is dead!
He lived u blameless life and died a peaceful
death.
Early Thursday morning it was announced
that Judge Jackson was worse, and many of
bis anxious friends hurried to the residence.
They were told that no material change had
taken place in the patient’s condition and that
there wa* atU! hope of his recovery. Dr. Biz
xcll spent the previous night In the sick cham
ber, and Lo watched tho progress of tho case
till morning. He caw nothing particularly en
couraging, hut rather certain symptoms which
around his apprehensions. Thursday morn
ing at Hr.’iO, he and Dr. Alexander held a con
ference to determine the exact status of the
case. Both concluded that Ids appearance and
condition were more unfavorable than ten
hour* before.
A few hours before the sad oocurrencs a
nuinlxr of the most inti mate friends of the
family were allowed to visit the sick chamber.
Among these were tho Rev. Dr. Morrison,
K stor of the First Methodist church, and the
iv. Dr. Hawthorne, pastor of the Tint Baptist
eh iirdi. The.se ministers offered up most touch
ing ami beautiful prayers.
Tho very la«t act of consciousness on the
part of the judge was makings response to the
petitions as they fell from the lips of Dr. Mor
rison.
Dr. nswthorne said after he had come from
the patient's bedside: “J believo that Jadgc
Jackson has illumined in his life the Christian
religion more than any laymsn in the church
in Georgia, and I am Buro he will ho more
lidded than any other man.”
On his way homo the reporter dropjied into
Judge Bleckley’s residence,to haves few words
with tin-judge regarding the career of one who
was his hodoro friend and his brother on the
supreme bench. In nuiwcr to several ques*
tions. Judge Bleckley said:
“With feelings disturbed by tho shor*k of
such a loss, it is with difficulty that I can *»y
anything of Chief Jmtico Jackson coherent
enough for publication.
"ilia great characteristic was goodness. It
crowned his life, private and public. He was
penetrated through and through with vital
Christianity. If© found perfect certainty in
religious truth. I have heard him «ay ho had
the witness and was moro assured of its testi
mony than of the correctness of any judgmont
ho ever rendered from the bench.
“During my four and a half years of sorvieo
ith him in judicial work, I never once saw
him swerve, or show tho slightest inclination
to swerve, from the exact lino of impartial,
conscientious duty. His constant endeavor
was to do right. To him justice was holy—so
holy that he eouhl accept nothing ns sound
law that seemed to violate it. Ho thought it
incredible that there could over ho a real cou
diet between law aud justice.
"His mind was always warm,but at the same
time clear, comprehensive and eminently judi
cial. Ho was wise anil .sagacious; understood
human natuie on l»otli sides, tho good and the
bad, and was invariably pointed and practical.
That lie was an able and useful judge, wo of
this generation hM know’, and the Georgia Re
ports will toftify tho fact to posterity. The
death of such a nian is a public calamity, af
fecting both church and state, and were there
not other sorrows deeper than my own to bo
considered, 1 should count my own personal
loss as very great, for ho was ray friend.”
lu the family circle, Judgo Jackson was its
lifo and soul. Ho was always the loader in
conversation and amusoment.
On Friday the United States court, the su
picrne court, the superior court, and the city
eouit ndjounud until yesterday morning at a
mark of respect for Chief Justice Jackson.
Governor Gordon ordered that the national
flag be placed at half-mast over the capitol, and
the different departments of the state gorem
ment be closed for three day*.
The funeral of Chief Justice Jackson Sun
day wnaono of the largest ever held in At
isuta. The First Methodist church, although
ono of tho most spacious in the city, was whol
ly Inadequate to contain one-tenth of those
who were anxious to-gain admittance. Every
seat in the building, down stairs and in tho
gallery, was occupied nearly au hour before tho
In-ginning of the services, and hundreds of per
sons thronged tho streets surrounding tho
chuTfh.
Tho following were tho distinguished pall
benvmrepresenting tho bench:
eluded at the grave. The congregation re
mained seated until the pallbearers carried the
ccfiin through the long drawn able. The or
ganist played a weird, solemn funeral march,
and the crowd slowly dispersed. The long row
of carriages soon found occupants, and the pro
cession. headed by the hearse, threaded its way
to Oakland cemetery.
<onhioni:i> to the tomb.
Very brief were the rites at the sepulchro.
The bishop read tho burial service, and the
ctffin was lowered Into tho grave. “Dust to
dost,” raid tho preacher. “And ashes to ashes,”
and the sexton begin throwing spade fulls of
clay upon the casket. Soon the narrow coll
wasfijJfri. The benediction was pronounced,
while ail stood with uncovered heads, and the
mourners left the city of tho dead. But not
before tho tomb was concealed under a cover
ing of flowers and wreaths. Thus was the
dead committed to its resting place; thus war
tho body of the great, tho good, tho puro man,
tho exulted citizen and humble Christian im-
prhontd in Its narrow bed of clay, where it will
remain till the blessed resurrection morn.
James Jackson was born sixty seven years ago in
Jefferson county- When very young his parentsre
moved to Athens and he win placed atschool under
the immediate care of Dr. Thorns*, who was* noted
teacher *t that time. He made renurkab!

school was laid the sold foundation upon whi' ‘
bt* future scholarship was reared. Hi* preccptu:
regarded him as oue of the brightest pupils and

trained, and he predicted that young Jacks-a
would some day make his mark in the work*
When a very young man tho subject of this sket-
entered the University of Georgia. He pursued
full course in this celebrated institution and
graduated with great distinction shortly after reach
Jug the nge of 1Hyears. During hlscolleglatecaruer
he distinguished himself in several ways.
The professor esteemed him as a young

and maturity of judgment and severe ta-tc
regarded as remarkable in one ofhbveard. He
dihplayod an unusual aptitude for the classics nm*

Tho boll wa* tolling anti the yrand organ
was pealing forth a dirgo when the cortege
reached the rhtm-h. The one hundred seats
reserved for the members of the bar were
quickly occupied. Tho chairs provided for the
cbnrrh trustees were taken, but tho “vacant
chair” robed in black spoke volume*
of eloquence; more pathotlo was this
mute testimony to the departed
churchman than word* of living eulogy could
bivo been. As the vast congrcgatUm of mourn
er* discerned tho touching signiiUanrc of this
“vacant elixir” only a few eyes were undimnmd
by teats. Then in came the pall bearers, with
heavy tread, lifting waist high the casket.
The pious bishop preceded thee corpse bearers.
The other inhibitors and lavymen who were
to puttieh':ite in the services were close at his
heels. The multitude roso to their feet. The
volume of harmony swelled from tho mighty
organ with ftmersl pathos. Tho choir or tho
cbuivh, iuereased by the choir of
tho First Baptist church, aang
a stately anthem. Tho pall hosrerv
deposited tho casket on the bouchca just in
front of the chanecl. Then the choir sang
Judge Jackson'* favorite hymn: “Amazing
Grace. How Bwcct tho Sound,” tho whole con-
grogation joining in singing Dr. Hopkins,
nrrwidcnt of Emory college, read the ninotleth
mini. A most touching aud fervent prayer
was offered by Dr. Bmnham. Then, by parti

“Wheu.” Tho wonls of this exquisite poem
were written by Father Ryan. The
piece was set to music by Professor

Bishop Joseph 8. Key then preached a most
sublime sermon. Ills discourse was brief but
replete with eloqiieuce of the loftiest type, lie
chose as the basis of his remarks Acts 2-7.
At the conclusion of the bishop's address the
choir sang a beautiftil four-part anthem, which
was rendered with a true religious fervor.

Dr. J. Ik Hawthorne, pastor of the First

Dr. Morrison spoke of the ahiuing Christian
virtues which Judge Jackson had illustrated
on bis death bed. lie adverted to his long aud

Jackson'* legal ability a* fully equal to that of any
of hi* predecessors. Ills colleague* on the beuen
always held his ability to!« or the very highest
order. The verdict of the lier.ch and tho bar of the
stale is, that Georgia never had a better chief Jus-
tire than James Jackson.
Judge Jackson was always an old-lino democrat,
lie never wa* what might ini termed a successful
politician. I treatise ho would never becomo a party
lo any intrige* or achemo*. Ills course was always
unlUiiching. He never couulvcd at any proceed

man of robust honesty. Ills methods wero direct,
and his conduct was always open. Ills organ of
mrttlveuqmwas exceedingly *mail, and ho could
not cou coal from others facts which had come to
his own knowledge.
In 1*36 Judge Jackson married his first wife, a
Miss Mitchell, of MiUcdgcvUlc. She was tiro
daughter of Walter L. Mitt lu 11, for many years
►fate treasurer of Georgia. This was one or tho
happiest marriage* ever solemnized, and a* the
result of the union five children were
born—four daughters and one sou. His
ran. a young man of great promise, went to Mis-
dsfippl to piactlce law, and there died. One of his
laughters married Mr. Joe Scnitchen*. Another

STOBIES OF THE WAR.
One day when Johnston’# army was iu Miss
issippi the soldiers noticed a very meek-iookiug
cow tied to a tree right in the middle of the
camps. They thought nothing unusual was
th© matter, however. That night thirty
thousand men “turned, in" hnd wont to sleep
litflo dreaming that the old cow was going to
disturb anybody* About midnight
some practical jokers tied a
brushy limh to the cow’a tail
and gave her a start In life. She did not dis
appoint tho expectations of her friends but
made a wild dash through the darkness,
trampling over the sleeping soldiers and drag
ging the brush over their prostrate forms. The
howls and yells that followed in her wake
added to her terror aud faster and faster
she went until she had run
over the biggest part of Johnston's army. To
add to the confusion nobody knew exactly
what w»s the matter. The only thiug any
body did know was that a wide streak of pro
fanity was running through esmp in a zigzag
fashion, but only the practical jokers could
guest the cause. Next day there was a big de
mand for sticking plaster.
A Bee Tree in Camps.
When Johnston's army was about twelve
miles from Vicksburg orders were issued that
death would be the portion of any man who
find a gun, chopped with an ax or made any
noise whatever. The confederates were in the
rear of Grant, and they were interested in
keeping quiet about it. One day some
of the soldiers noticed that some wild
bees had selected an old dead tree as tho depos
itory for their boner. Away up in tho top the
little workers could bo seen storing their
sweets. This soldiers looked upon them with
longing eyes. How to get the honey was a
problem. A Single blow with an ax would be
punished with death. One day a countryman
came along and drew rein near tho boe troe.
He went into camp there and when lie start
ed to build his fire ono of tho soldiers said:
“My friend, why don’t yon build your Are
up against that dead tree.” .
“Would anybody keer?” ho asked.
“Of course not,” ,
The result was the countryman built his flro
against the dead tree and the tree caught fire.
When the countirmen departed the next day
ho loft the tree ablaze. It burned slowly that
day and gradually the bees wore smokod out.
With anxious and impatient eyes the soldiers
watched the flro. About the uiiddlo of tho
third day the old tree came down with a crash
that could be heard for n mtlo. The soldiers
lit upon tho honey liko dogs upon a lame coon.
When the excited officers reached the scone
they were informed that a countryman had
fired the tree. Bythattimo, however, tho
con u try man was fifty miles away.

Stamoring is a bad thing for a soldier some
times for there nro occasions where a man
wants to talk and talk fast.
John'Fletcher, of the 4th Georgia, was a
good soldier but he could not help stuttering.
If at roll call a soldier did not rcspond“hcro"
to the second eall of his name he would have
to go on double duty.
One day the orderly sergeant was calling the
roll.
Name after name was reached.
“Private John Fletcher,” at length called
the orderly.
John's mouth flew open and began to flut
ter.
“H-h«h-h-h-h-\
John grow rod in the face.
No sonnd save a spluttering noise.
Tho orderly didn't look up from his list.
“H-h-h-h-h-h-” continued John.
“Private John Fletcher, n called tho orderly
a second time, and proceeded to check him for
double duty,
“H-h-h-h-h-h—damn it, don’t you see mo!'
veiled-the stuttering private, ns a shout of
Ianghtor burst from tbc company.

A War Poem.
* Colonel B. F. Sawyer encloses a little poorn
and writes to Tub Constitution* as follows:
Oxanna. Ala., January 14, 1887.-Doar8ir: Will
the enclosed do for your war series? It is founded
on incident of the war. Miss Kate Canon, of TIsh-
niingo, Miss., was shot and killed by a confederate
picket while sho was riding at break-neck speed to
warn Forrest of the near approach of Grierson’s
command.
The subject is worthy better treatment than I
in give it, but such as I can I have given it.
OF*' “r viia IBwgtlraLKsl'wym.
Below 1, the poem:
K,n.
“God save us all,” the yankoes come,
A grim and gruesome throng;
LikeKpccttvo shadows through the night
They wind their way along—
Troop after troop, corps after corps,
Full twenty hundred strong.
And who will warn the sleepy camp
Scarce half a leagne away;
Where Forrest, with hi* weary men,
Aro resting from the fray;
Undrcamlug of the danger nigh—
Oh, who will warn him? Fray!”
Then np spoke Kate, so lily fair—
Ho young, so sweet, so true.
“Oh/1 will warn the sleeping camp—
God help me so to do.”
“Oh, no; not yon—not you, my love,
I/Cst sorrow may betide.
The mountain is sa whlo and dark;
The ford so deep and wide,
And steed, there’* none, save young Grarotte,
And him you cannot ride.”
“Oh, yes, I know the psmj* dark,
The ford so deep and wide,
But 1 can wifely cross them all
With young Gravotte to ride:
And 1 will wake the sleeping camp,
fb'. Whatever may betide.’'
And young Gravottie, wit i mad curvet,
Rebelled against the ride;
But undismayed sho held her scat
And lashed his foaming side.
And like a deer she shot tlio pass
And swam the rushing tide.
t-’p from the river’s rocky marge,
Out through tho tangled wood,
When, lo; to guard the sleeping camp
A grim Cerberus stood, ...
“Halt, halt! Who come*?. Stand, or I fire!”
The watch Ail picket cried.
“The foe, the foe; stand from my way!”
Tho daring maid replied.
“Balt 1” once again. A flash, a crash,
And grinding 1n tho dost,
A moan, n gasp, the wrintly soul
Gave back to God Its trust.
Dotting on Files.
“Yes y wo used to have a .spasm of goodness In
the a Troy every nosv and then,” said an old
soldier yesterday. “That is to say the officers
would get good and try to make tho rest of us
come up to their ideas. Yon see. when time
bung heavy on our hands we would while away
onr leisure by an Indulgence in the wicked
gome of chuck-e-luck, or In soven np, or by an
occasional poker game. I remember wheu we
were in Missftsippl ”
“Wluit la chncx-a-lnck?”
'Mercy alive! Didn't you ever see a lot of
fellows mark off numbers—
‘1—2—3—4—5—fl,
dice, wd the fellow's numbers turned, up take
the pot?. "Well, as I was going on to say, the,
officers had a spasm, and decide l to break up
gambling. They tosk np everyfcard. a^d dice
in the camps. whit did we
do? Why, bless your sonl, wa
went on gambling. A lot of fellows
would each got a little piece of bread and smear
on a bit of syrup and lav out the spread and
then all sit and writ. There were a million
flies about camp, and in n mlnuto yon would
see a fly light on a piece of bread and go for
the stnip, Well, the owner of that pieoe of
bread w ould take the pot. That and other dp*
vices for evading tho orders of the officers
convinced them that they could not head, us
off, and they gave us back our cards and dice
nud we resumed business.”
One, Two, Three, Dully.
Hero is a good story told of Roddy’s cavaky..
One day the troopers were about to go into;
battle, dismounted, leaving every fourth mas
to bold the horses. The men - were drawn rip
to count from right to left. Of course, every
fourth man felt jolly, and this is the wey the
# court went on:
“One.” *
“Two.”
“Three.”
“Bully 4”
“Oue.”
“Two.”
“Three.'* .
“Bully!” etc.
General Roddy heard each fourth man cnll
out “bally.” His face flushed. When all had
called off, ho said:
“Numbers 1, 2 and bully will go into tho
fight aa dismounted cavalry. No. 3 will hold
the horses.”
There were a good many sick “bullies” that
day,
