Care for the Children
Children feel the debility of the changing
tseasons, even more than adults, and they be
come cross, peevish, and uncontrollable.
The blood should be cleansed and the system
invigorated by the use of Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
“Last Spring my two children were vacci
nated. Soon after, they broke all out with run
ning sores, so dreadful I thought 1 should lose
them. Hood’s Sarsaparilla cured them com
pletely ; and they have been healthy ever
Since. Ido feel that Hood's Sarsaparilla
saved my children to me.” Mrs. C. L.
'JUuMfsos, West Warren, Mass.

‘ Hood's Sarsapaillla Is characterized by
three peculiarities: Ist, the combination or’
remedial agents; 2d, the proportion; 3d, the
jirceess of securing the active medicinal
qualities. The result is a medicine of unusual
trtrenglh, effecting cun s hitherto unknown.

I GRASSES OF GEORGIA.
Friends of tho Farmer Tnat Crow
W.hile He Sleeps.
THE WONDERFUL NEW CLOVER
NAcoorHEE.Ga., September 20.—[Correspon
dence Charleston News and Conner.]—Permit
me to Np<:tk of a new and valuable plant
known as tho Lespedeza Striata, which has
within the past few years been welcomed to
naturalization, and is spreading rapidly all
over this mountain country. This clover is of
more value to the farmer than the Georgia gold
mines. It is said that there is nothing new
under the sun, but this grass or clover is cer
tainly new, as it was not known in any part of
the United States before tho war.
Many believe that it was brought here dur
ing Sherman’s march through Georgia. This
cannot be true, as the Lespedeza was first seen
in the de< p coves and valleys in the mountains
never visited by the union soldiers and seldom
by man. I have a park of some hundred acres
near my mountain home on which I Lad been
for years tn ing to get a stand of red clover and
blue grass, but without success.
Within the last ten years the. Lespedeza has
boon gradually spreading over it until nearly
every foot of the park is covered, and now
looks as groi n and beautiful as the blue grass
t'uld.s of Kentucky. It affords a luxuriant
grazing pasture for cattle, horses and sheep—
even the hogs fatt* n **n it. The beauty of this
new clover is that it is self-propagating, grows
well on lawns exposed to the sun, thrives in
paiks covered by the largest trees, merely re
quiring the trimming of Hie undergrowth?
'The Lespi’deza will totally destroy tlie ugly
lb rmitda gm , and from my experience with
the Jb riiiiida I think the contest an unequal
one. Twmty years ago 1 was so mm b pleased
with the Bermuda gra that J saw growing in
middle Geor-ia I decided to introduce it into
j tcoo( hep \ alley. I brought with me from,
j Madison, Gil, a small package of its joints,
which were t: am planted in a lawn. J found
the Bermmlu spreading sorapiuly l feared it
would iiml its way into the valley and injure
tho hind required for the cultivation of other
I flops. Having decided to extirpate it, I
j selected ahot. <lr\ sjadl in July; then and there
the tug of war.
I n touring io pieces with a strong pair of
mules and a cfiult* 1 plow the matte*! roots,
wli * h were a i tangled asan Indian cane-brake,
I broke the plow am! injured the mules more
than I di<l 1 he* grass. To make sure work, I
cremated every joint of the grass 1 could find.
When I returned the following summer you
can judge my surprise to find that the dreaded
Bermuda had jr* ul threefold : the tearing to
pieces I.lm clott* <1 roots wa ; just what it mauled
10 make it spiead and form a beautiful green
lawn. The roots of the Bermuda penetrate so
deep into the stiff tenacious rod clay that the
deepest plowing fail to eradicate the m.
This experiment of mine convinced me that
for the “red old hills of Georgia” there is no
grass equal to the Bermuda. I find that it
rnakesa fine green lawn, affords good pastur
age for horses and cattle, ami in good soil
makes a hay equal to tiie best meadow lands.
The bermmla will grow on worn-out fields,
restore) gullied slopes info luxuriant pastures;
docs not thrive on sandy land, but is without
doubt the gra v s t«> rs riu\ Hie the p-d hills of
Georgia ami the. Ciirmhias, for it stands the
Bun and drought. In this country it Las no
seeds, but isen ily propagated by layers; every
joint makes a root, and appears to grow, c\en
after it is cremat<‘d.
'llic B' rmmla should nnt, however,be'grown
on lam! that you wish to cultivate in other
crops. 1 ha*l niftier make my bread on Yonah
mountain than attempt to grow torn on a
field overrun with !’• nnuda grass. It is, nev
ertheless, a most valuable grass, and should
be cultivated for grazing purposes and hay
making.
But the < hcrislm<l Lesjmdt za is the poor and
the lazy man's friend, as it propagates itself,
grows spontaneously without culture, protects
from washing the steepe-1 hillsides amt affords
an admirable pasture for stock of all kinds.
It is not, however, yet grown to any extent for
rich valley lands, ami the horses are Aery
fond of the hay made from it. It enriches Im
ground and is as valuable a fertilizer as the
pea vine.: Lnlike the Bermuda, ii is easily de
stroyed when you wish a rotation of crops.
The Lespode a has a tap root ami cannot well
be tr.iiispli’nted, bat spread ; rapidly w ithout
culture. Thu s(*eds are small and difficult to
collect; is killed to the ground by late frosts
but i ■. ippeai s early in the spring. 'l'his heaven
born plant has * !imb( d v itnout tlm aid of man
five thousand feet to tlm summit of Yonah
mountain and tho Blue Kidge. it has also
c rossed the Savannah river, and will, doubt
less. in a tew >ears, spread over tlm Piedmont
bolt. I sund vai by mail a package of the
L<‘spe<lo> a ami the Bermuda, also some of the
roots of the Bermuda.
Speaking of tlm Piedmont Leif, which is
wa cred ami tempered by the Alleghany and
Blue Kidgu mountains, extending from Alaba
ma to Virginia, it has the Lesl climate on the
gh be. In this long mountain stretch you are
exempt from extremes of heat or cold, also,
from epidem'.'s us ai>\ kind. Hero you find
pure water and .plt-mlid w;.L 1 power for man
ufactures, also, inexhaustible mines of iron,
* 'al ami gold. Tn the course of time tlm Pied
mont region w ill bo tho greatest maiiuf.v. tm ing
district of tlm Unit* d Stales. No eountiy can
j be more healthy. It abounds in lei ille lands
I and exteiisiw and valuable L-teM-i. Tho sum

! natural attractions. Those wiil certainly bo
I appreciated ami improved. It will be rcmem-
I lu n d that Saratoga, now tlm me st fash

long period but one Indian hut.

into the mighty Ohio, is the sleepy, an dent iu. i !

An x ious to learn all he could of the many mysteries
of the human b xly. and skeletons not being then so
easily obtainable as they are now, he one night,
when all was quiet, iu company with an assistant or
two, stole out to the city of the dead and undertook
to rob a grave of a tenant which had recently be n
placed there. Although his movements were con
ducted with tho utmost caution he was discovered,
and officers were almost upon him before he knew
it. There was only one way of escape, and that was
over the* bluff, wbieh was at least two hundred f •. t
high, and who-c sides were so steep and slippery
that no foothold could be obtained. Right at the
bottom flowed the Lougliery. He was a young man
of qtiif-k deci-ion, and hi n s ilution was soon taken.
M»ully he dashed for the edge of the cliff and
rcgklcssly he jumped off. Down he went through
the branches of the trees, his fall being broken here
and there, until he reached the ground, compara
tively uninjured. He was as fleet on his feet a- a
deer, an I, picking him- If up, he was soon beyoi. I
reach of his pursuers, who, rather than risk such a
hazardous leap themselves, went miles out of th* r
way to reach ti c bottom of the steep bluff. The

Ear Northwestern Volcano.
"The great snow-covered mountain, 7.<KiO feet
high, on AeoiHan island, near Ounalaska, is
boh hing forth great xohunes of smoko and
ashes, mid has been frightening the Russian
natix* ; like everything,” said Superintendent
II 11. Mclntyre, of tho Alaska commercial
( onipi'ny, last night to a San Exam
in* i representative. “Nobody dow n here knows
this,but it is a fact. The old mountain began
to heave up about a month ago, and has been
sG ndilyat it over since. At first the poor na
tives were v umed hall to death,' but they have
got over it a lit th* now. At intervals of about
live minntos there is a loud explosion, followed
by the ernittingof ashes in immense, quantities,
which are scattered over a broad area. There
me four craters in the vicinity, Init this is tho
tu>t time in nineteen years that 1 have been
up there, that tho Acuutan Island mountain
got in its work.
“The village of Acoutan is near at hand, and
it w.w Hie inhabitants of it that were scared
so. They were the closest toit, and didn’t know
what to make of it when it begun. The volca
no was still in active eruption when 1 came
away. I (’an not say whether it w ill become
more formidable yet or not. It is hard to sax’.
“Tho mountain is entirely ssible. No
body can climb it and find out just how things
are, and nobody there wants to do it, anyhow .”
Disadvantage* of Being a Giant*
From the London Truth.
1 should not like to be as tall and bulky as

Item. It is very well to be a giant when young, but
If the ma s of bones, flesh and muscle get inert
through the weight of years or disease the big body
beet Dies a fearful dead weight to the spirit whioh
has to desert P. Ido not know anything more won
dorful tbau’the longevity of the German emperor,
who Is a very tall man. M. Cbevreul is under the
middle height and spare. Turgeniff was as tall: ■
the pie *nt czar, but of less burly figure. He found
as he advanced in life,his bulk a fearful load aud on

permitted to call them sweets) of society life.
It is probable that they never attended a ger

THE INALIENABLE RIGHTS OF MAN
I
Houston, Texas, September 26.—An open
letter from Jefferson Davis to Senator Beagan
on the prohibition issue has been made public
here. Mr. Davis begins by scoring the sena
tor sharply for the construction which he put
on the Davis-Lubbock correspondence. He
says:
■ I certainly have no claim on the peopleof Toxas,
but freely- acknowledge my indebtedness to them,
| nnd. having tor many years felt a deep interest in
i their nflairs, I might reasonably have supposed
that I had an equal right to express an opinion
upon them as that a< carded to a Georgia negro who
wa -imported by your party to influence the voters
of hl-icolor, and who, it vvai reported, had been at
one or two public meetings introduced by you to
the ladies and gentlemen of Texas. This is to be
viewed iu connection with the alle
gation that the white democrats had
been defeated by the Mexicans and
negroes who voted again.-t prohibition. In your
zeal to support the docfrln.- of prol.il itlon you cite
ti e law against carrying concealed wcai cns, but
here again the answer is potent. The law does not
invade the right to keep and bear arms for private
and public license, but the abuse of that right by
such practice as befits the assassin and the burglar,
the invader of the rights of others. To carry out your
theory- to its logical conclusion, as deadly weapons
may- lead to crime, th- sale, importation and manu
facture of firearms and cutlery should be prohibited,
and thus wholly extirpate the vile use which would
follow abuse by their possessor.
ts Imongthe instances you cite of the abridgement
of personal liberty is the prohibition of the first pa
rents to cat the fruit of tlie tree of life. But the
facts of the case seem hardly to sustain your theory
as the Creator did not destroy the tree, so astomake
it impossible that our first parents could cat of the
fruit, blit he rather left them as free agents in their
moral responsibility, with a penalty attached to the
violation of his command. They had their own per
sonal liberty, and were left to choose between vir
tuous odedience and simple violation of the
law given for their good. Tiny choose to
offend and suffered the penalty. Ho
laws for the punishment of crime abridge personal
liberty, or rather are they not guardians of the nat
ural rights, which in a state of society might be
violated by the evil disposse? It strikes me as a
misuse of terms to describe the commission of crime
as the exercise of pcr.-mml liberty. The natural
rights of man a-e those which belong to the social
eondition. That being his natural state of exist
ence, those are termed “inalienable” the exercise of
which society has no right to obstruct.
Iher su t of th re -ent ecc kn in your state
nft ue as .uc. nt iiaift nee again- 1 the surrender
in th dr inalienable ri :Ins and privilcg-s by the
lllierty-'.ovlng people of Texas, .s there no possi
bility that an ism which lias shown such expansive
courtesy w It seek to embody itself iu federal legis
lation? 1o t who have borne an honorable part In
two wars for the 1 d -pendence of Texas may have
on another occasion to defend her r'ghts as a state
If you should insist that all j o.veri are reserved
which had not been delegated, and that sumptuary
legislation would be usurpation aud in violati in
of personal liberty, might not your prohibi
tion din trine come back to plague you? If over
powered by numbers, what would be the condition
of the minority section? By laws and recent usage
union soldiers are to be preferred for federal ap
pointments. The prohibition law anl policy would
involve domiciliary visits. It requires no proph
to foresee w hut would be the condition of our peo
ple; wtiat would be the moral decadence resulting
from the domination of spies, informers and foreign
officials. May God in his mercy shield us from all
the consequent evils of such a policy, which to paint
would require colors even deeper than those .you
have employed.
A gratifying result of the Texas election, as re
ported to me, was that the counties which had
favored local option did, as a rule, vote against tho
amendment. It wasgratifyingfor two reasons. It
evidenced a just discrimination between local op
tion and state prohibition, and showed that it was
not the drunkards and traders in whisky who con
stitute the opposition to the amendment. The cor
nerstone of my political creed is, that all the just
powers of government are derived from the consent
of the governed, but that there ate in
alienable rights of man which government
cannot rightfully deprive him. To do so,
cither by a majority of the people, by mili
tary coercion, or under the dogma of a divine right,
is despotism. In this general proposition it is as
sumed that you will concur, and though we have
recently been separated by a single question I trust
fully look forward to reunion on the broader field
which lies beyond. In conclusion pennit me to ex
press the hope that it will give you less pain to read
this letter than the necessity for writing it has given
to me and to assure you that|l remain ever faithfully
your friend, Jeffebsok Davis.
Do not ilf spair of curing your sick headache
when you can so easily obtain Carter’s Little
Liver Pills. They will effect a prompt and
permanent cure. Their action is mild and

An Overland Sketch.
We had a heap o' fun at Sent’nel Butte the other

We turned up nt the Turf Exchange an’ rode right
In the door,
An’ took a drink around an’then stood up an'

An’then we jedged our bosses wa'nt a-havlngany

So we rode ’em ’round the sidewalk on a mighty
lively run ;
An'ev'ry rod they’d stop an’buck an’reach un

An' soon tho secon'-story winders were lookin’
mighty sick 1
An'all tliis time each one of us was a-workiu’ of

An'ev’ry time we passed a house we jes’shot out

THE BOOMING SOUTH.
Baltimore, October 7.—Manufacturers’
record for this week publishes a compilation
of the increase in the manufacture of cotton in
several states of the south ami the percentage
of profit which will average fully twenty per
cent on cost. Beginning with South Carolina
it says the Pacolet company, with 12,000 spin
dles, is building another mill of equal size and
the i’elser company, with 22,000 spindles, is
building another large mill. At Marion, a
SIOO,OOO mill is in course of construction ; one
of $50,000 at Greenville: one nt Clifton of
$300,000; one at Bonnetsville of $200,000: one
at Columbia of $250,000, and one at Fort Mill
of $160,000, while others are projected at
Greenwood, Spartanburg, Anderson, Chester,
Camden and other points. In North Carolina
a mill is being built at Lincolnton to cost $30,-
000; at Big Falls, one of $60,000; at Concord,
one of $75,000; at Enoree, one of $200,000,
while others will be built at Davidson college
and other points.
In Georgia, at Columbus, the Swift compa
ny has added 8,000 spindles to their mill: the
Muscogee, of the same place, a new mill of 400
looms: the King company, seventy looms and
30,000 spindles, and at Augusta, Clarksville,
Americus, West Point, Dalton and Savannah
large improvements are being made and new
mills building. In Maryland $250,000 have
been expended by the Laurel mills, while the
mills at Mount Vernon and Elktr n are being
enlarged. There are also notable improve
ment s in Texas and Tennessee all looking to
the enlargement of plant, the present facilities
having been found insufficient.
Might as Well Die on That as Anything Else,
When one has suffered on. month after
month, consulted all the best '■-Medicine Men”
within reach, tried ail the remedies suggested
by sj mpatliizing friends, still suffers on, be
coming weaker and more wretched, it is little
womb t that such an one becomes despondent,
and cries out, “I might as well die on one thing
ns another, and therefore will take anything,
even the Compound Oxj'gen.”
Mr. Alonzo Clark, chief salesman in the largo
business house of Davis, Collamore & Co., of
New York, was so greatly reduced by longcon
tinued lung trouble, proceeding from malaria,
that the doctors gave him up? They said, “if
you liave any business affairs to arrange, you
had better arrange them soon, for you cannot
livelong.” He had all the symptoms of ad
vanced consumption. By this time he thought
the doctors had done all they could do for him,
which they verily hail, at the rate <>f ten dol
lars a visit. Somebody dropped a hint in hit
ear about Compound Oxygen, ami he thought
he might as well die on that as anything else.
But on taking it for a little while, he found
he was not going to die. To make a long
story short, Mr. Clark is again at Ids post in
the store on Broadway, and attending to busi
ness with his old time regularity. lie is, as
might be expected from his experience, a very
firm believer in Compound Oxygen.
This Compound Oxygen has' a history em
bodied in a very interesting two hundred page
treatise, which is sent by mail on application to
Drs. Starkey & Palen, 1529 Arch street, Phila
delphia, Pa.
Cholera in Chili.
From the New York Times.
The reappearance of Asiatic cholera in three
cities of Chili has caused a revival of the rigid quar
antine regulations by which other South American
countries on the west coast cxcludtd the disease last
winter. Although the mortality in Chili was large
during the prevalence of the first epidemic, the dis
ease was well handled by the government and the
health authorities, and it is ] r ibable that ti e exper
ence then gained wilj be effectively used in sup
pressing the plague how without serious loss of lit'
Terrible are the Ravages
Upon the system inflicted by diseases of the
kidneys and bladder. They wreck the consti
tution more speedily in some cases than con
sumption and other maladies of a fatal pulmo
nary type. As you value your life, arrest a ten
dency to debility, and consequent inactivity of
the renal organs, slrould yon experience any
such. Infuse vigor and activity into the vital
ly important secretive action of the kidneys
with t hat sa hit ary diuretic,Hostetter’s Stomach
Bitters. The proper degree of stimulation is
imparted by it to the bladder also, when that or
gan is sluggish. With this timely cheek,
Bright’s disease, diabetis, catarrh of the blad
der, and other kindred disorders, may be pre
vented. Liver complaint, constipation, nerv
ous ailments and rheumatism, are likewise
conquerable with this sovereign household
remedy. Against the effects of exposure in
damp or otherwise inclement weather, it is a
benign safeguard, and revives strength after
undue fatigue.
The Ilogs of War.
From the Xcw York Tribune.
One of the latest freaks of military science
is the training of watch dogs for sentry duty. The
French Avar minister has given orders that dogs
shall be tried in connection with advance post duty
and taught to I ark at the appt o ich of an enemy or
stranger. Dogs are also to be used as scouts, and if
they prove u;-eful are to bo attached to all the line
regiments and stationed regularly with the double
sentries. “Letting loose the dogs of war” thus
promises to hit c n literal as well as a metaphorical
meaning.
