11 Martyrs io Hsadacha Seek relief in rain, until they begin to use Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Then they re gret the years o£ suffering they might have escaped had they tried this remedy earlier. The trouble was constitutional, not local; and, until Ayer’s Saraapa. tOla. did its effective work as an Alterative and Blood-purifier, they were compelled to suffer. The wife of Samuel Page, 21 Austin Bt, Lowell, Mass., was, for a long time, subject to severe headaches, the result of stomach and liver disorders. A per fect cure has been effected by Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Frank Roberts, 727 Washington st., Boston, says that lie formerly had ter rible headaches, and until ho took Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, never found any medicine that would give Permanent ReJ!ef„ “Every spring, for years,” write* Lizzie W. DeVeau, 262 Fifteenth st., Brooklyn, N. Y., “I have had intoler able headaches. I commenced the use Os Ayer’s Sarsaparilla last March, and have not had a headache since that time.” “I suffered from headache, indiges tion, and debility, and was hardly able to drag myself about the house,” writes Mrs. M. M. Lewis, of A st., Lowell, Mass. “Ayer’s Sarsaparilla has worked a marvelous change iu my case. I now feel strong and well as ever.” Jonas Garman, Esq., of Lykins, Pa., writes: “ Every Spring, for years, I nave suffered dreadfully from headache, caused by impurity of the blood and biliousness. It seemed for days and weeks that my head would split open. Nothing relieved me till I took Aver’s Sarsaparilla. This medicine has cured me completely.” When Mrs. Genevra Belanger, of 24 Bridge st., Springfield, Mass., began to use Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, she had suffered for some years from a serious affection of the kidneys. Every Spring, also, she was afflicted with headache, loss of appetite, and indigestion. A friend per suaded her to use Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, which benefited her wonderfully. Her health is now perfect.

Happening of a Weekin the Sun ny Southland. A MYSTERIOUS CASE IN TENNEEESS GEORGIA, Hon. M. O’Neal was bitten »|jew days ago, while on his way to Mitchell county, by a veuemous spider. The ugly reptile got into the leg of his sock and bit him on the ankle, lie suffered great agony from it,and the ankle, leg and foot was badly swollen. Ho is limp ing around today. Tueday Henry [Feagin, of Feagin, Houston county, was iu the city, and a Constitution reporter had a short talk with him. "How’s that brag cotton patch of vours?” queried the scribe. “Well, it yielded very well. I have not got quite all out of the field yet, but I have secured one thousand pounds of lint off the acre, making what is fully equivalent to two heavy bales per acre.” “How is your crop, generally, Mr. Feagin?” “Very fair. Including my wage hands, which I consider my own crop, I have made seventy bales off the 115 acres, making about two-thirds of a bale per acre.” “What is the character of your soil ?” “It is sandy. What they call a light gray soil, on which cotton grows off very freely, as well as other crops.” “Do you use guano?” "No, I find it more profitable and economical to use a compost, such as I make at home. By this I mean cotton seed, stable manure, ferti lizer from my cow lot, and other things. I find, that on my lands, this is far preferable to any manipulated guano that I can get.” "Yon fertilize heavily?” "Oh, yes. It is no use for a man to try to make cotton unless he does so. On my prize acre I fertilized heavily, both in the drill and broad cast.” The monthly meeting of the Farmer’s alli ance assembled at Newnan last Thursday afternoon with closed doors. Their meetings and proceedings were kept a profound secret. About two hundred members were present, half of whom wore delegates from the various clubs in the county. Their meeting was not ar all harmonious. There is dissension in the tanks, and, perhaps,like the grangers they will soon disorganize. Their object, it seems, is to drive out all competition by electing one mer chant in a town to do all their buying, and one warehouseman to sell their cotton. Ono month ago they selected J. B. Mount & Co., a Jewish firm who have recently located here, as their merchant, and G. A. Broom as their sole warehouse man. Merchants who have been carrying the farmers from year to year for the past quarter of a century, and to whom the farmers were indebted for this and last year’s supplies, felt cut by the desertion of their form er customers, and especially for going to another store and paying cash while they were indebted to them. This brought about a conflict between mer chants and farmers, and the result is both sides are putting on a bold front. The mer chants were forced to organize in self defense, the object of which is to sell to no member of the alliance except for cash, and stop all credit to their members. There is certainly some foundation for the grievances of the farmers, but all their ills do not flow from the middlemen. It takes all the capital and credit of the merchants of Newnan, Grantville and Senoia to carry the farmers annually, and there is now a half mil lion dollars on the books of the Newnan mer chants due by their country customers. All this trouble has been brought about by a man who says he is from Texas, and who has been in Georgia since last June organizing new clubs. He gets from six to nine dollars for every club he organizes, and three dollars, half the fee of the local organizer, on all sub sequent clubs. Since Juno ho has organized over one hundred of such clubs in Georgia, getting at least 51,000 for the same, without conferring any material benefits. It is true he gives them tho pass-word and also the grip which admits members into the mystic con clave, but that is their chief benefit so far. Every farmer with legislative or congres sional aspirations is prompt at all their meet ings and loud in their denunciations of the merchants. Their declaration of principle, would rival the creed of Mohamet and excite the envy of Confucius in his dream of a per fect state of felicity for mankind. It sounds like extracts from Plato and Socrates, and takes on the touch of the ideal. In fact their declaration of principles, if carried out, would revolutionize our entire system of government, shutting out all competition, placing the com merce between the producer and manufacturer in the hands of one man, closing up all stores, save their own, and settling all disputes by arbitration, thereby compelling the lawyers to return to the plow. Everything is to bo in common, the misfortune of one member shall be shared by all. They are to have bet ter churches, better pastors, better school houses and more efficient teachers. All legis lation —state, county and national —shall * be for their exclusive benefit. If one has a poor crop, or fails to work it as well as his neighbors, his brother members are to make it up to him. Their declaration of principles seem to be the theories of Henry George boiled down, spiced with socialism and flavored with extracts of grangerism. Two members in this county have already declared themselves, so I learn, as candidates for tho legislature. They expect to ride into power upon the blinded zeal of their deluded brothers. Thursday they endeavored to get a newmer chant to take the place of J. B. Mount & Co., and appointed a committee to get bids from several merchants in Newnan, Senoia and Grantville, but our leading merchants refused to bid either for cash or otherwise. Tho com mittee require tho merchants to show them their invoices and allow tho alliance to say what shall be their soiling figures. This our merchants decline to do. The alliance members who are able, refuse to be responsible for tho debts of the less fortunate members, which will work a hardship on tho poorer members, who have neither cash, collaterals nor credit. It will also, at the same time, place our younger merchants and smaller dealers in a clo o place. They are doing no country trade, scarcely, and unless a change comes soon, business failures will be the result. The farmers of Warren county have organ ized as the Warren County Agricultural Alli ance. The Carroll County Times says there are about twenty-five lodges of the Farmers’ Al liance in Carroll, and that they have selected one house to trade with. On Wednesday last a difficulty occurred be tween Mr. Thomas Brown and Mr. J. A. Rob son, on the Bynum place, in Washington coun ty, about the right of possession and the crop, resulting in the shooting at Mr. Robson by Mr. Brown, with a gun, and missing him. Brown was agent for Mr. W. R. Thigpen, who had bought the place for the Corbin hanking com pany, at tho sheriff’s sale when the property was sold by Robson’s bondsmen. Robson claims the place as trustee for his children, and was gathering the crop, and disputed the right of Brown. There was a large gathering of /armors at Norwood at the meeting appointed to discuss the question of lessening tho farmer’s ex pense*. Farmers from all over Warren and adjoining counties were present. The meet ing was very enthusiastic, and several rousing speeches were made. Hon. T. N. Fool was uncommonly eloquent. The meeting was or ganized under the name of the “Farmers’ Union," with the purpose of finding some way by which to cheapen the cost of the farmer’s supplier. Twenty-four hundred bales of cot ton were pledged by reliable men upon which to raise monev to buy supplies at cash prices from first hands, thus saving the enormous percentage charged on goods bought on time. The following officers were elected: W. W. Swain, president; N. L. Evans, vice-presi dent; O. C. Lowe, secretary; I’.M. Hill, treas urer; advisory board, E. R. Wilson, J. V. Hall, T. N. Pool, J. H. Hall, AV. 11. Pilcher. Constitution and by-laws were also adopted. Tho meeting adjourned until the 21th inst. Saturday United States fish commission car No. 1 arrived from Atlanta at 10; 15 via the East Tennessee road, and was side-tracked near the depot. This morning about 11 o’clock J. Franklin Ellis, of the Smithsonian Institute, had 1,000 carp put into the Octnul gee river, Hi* assistant carried them iij a tin bneket, and lowered the bucket, by means of rupee, from the center of the city bridge, thus dumping tho fish In the middle of the river. One rope was tlod to the top of the bucket and auotlier to the bottom, and when the bucket was lowered to the surface of the river. tho top rope was let loose, and the bottom ropo was then given a jerk which overturned tho bucket, throwing the fish into the river, and the bucket was then drawn up to the bridge and returned to tho car. These carp aro from one to six inches in length, and in a sound, healthy condition. Mr. Ellis has been to Macon before and put fish, shad, etc., in the Ocmulgee. Pink , Bowen, an orderly colored wo man, wife of Elbert Bowen, died at her home near Gray's Station on the tliili instant. Her first husband, Butler Graves, killed in a bar room in 1883, was said to have been tho tallest man ever buried in Macon, and was noted, while living, for possessing almost herculean strength. He was porter at Smith & Iver son’s when killed, When the measure for his coffin was brought to undertaker J. J. Clay, the latter thought it was a jest, for the stick reached almost to the ceiling. When assured there was no joko in it his eyes bulged out on steins and he was figuratively paralyzed. The intelligence has just reached us of avery serious difficulty which occurred near Chaly beate Springs Saturday evening between Messrs. Jack Mitchell a'nd William Phelps. The dispute arose about some cotton, when Phelps gave Mitchell thelie. Mitchell proceed ed to at tack Phelps and was knocked back by Phelps with a stick, and upon steadying him self ho (Mitchell) drew a revolver and fired two or three shots at Phelps, one ball taking effect in his left breast and passed almost through his body, and was extracted from his back by Dr. Campbell. Phelps is seriously, if not mortally wounded. A gentleman in brass buttons and police man’s badge was in Cuthbert on Wednesday night, and registered as A. S. Baker, Atlanta, Ga. He was here for the purpose of conducting a couple of negroes re cently sentenced for cow-stealing to tho place assigned thorn by the proper authorities, and while waiting for the arrival of his train told tho following story to a Constitution corres pondent and others. About two months ago he was sent to one of the lower counties for a negro convict who had been previously sentenced to the chaingang, and had worked awhile, made his escape and was recaptured. The negro was far above the average in intelligence and shrewdness, was a clover talker and had the faculty of telling things in such a straightforward manner as to impress one with its correctness. During the return trip the prisoner stated to Officer Baker that if he would return with him to a certain point down below Albany ho would conduct him to a spot in a deserted old field where a short time before his first arrest he had buried $1,165.75. He was willing to return hand cuffed and a prisoner, but upon the delivery of the burled treasure to be given his freedom. He stated every point so clearly, giving the amount in bills, silver and gold, so accurately, and described the locality and conditions un der which he was led to deposit in the earth such a ‘large sum of money so forcibly, that the officer was considerably taken with the story. It was also known to him that a short time before the conviction of the negro there was a gang of thieves going through that portion of the state, breaking into dwellings, stores, and blowing open safes and that they succeeded upon several occasions in securing a deal of booty. He thought over the story constantly and the more ho thought of it the treasure grew larger and tho prospects brighter. Os course he could not “ 'bout face” and sift the matter at once nor did tho negro get any con solation in regard to tho requests for absolute freedom after locating the money, but when they reached Atlanta, Officer Baker laid the matter before Captain English, giving that gentleman a detailed account of the secret im parted to him en route. It made Captain English’s eyes open too, and he at once promised to sift the matter to •the bottom. As yet nothing has been said publicly by the parties, and they contemplate arranging a trip at an early date to the spot. The temptation is a big one will be a couple or more of disappointed gentlemen should tho story prove a hoax. ALABAMA. For several months past, two Mormon elders from Utah have been seeking converts in |the country around Birmingham among the ignorant country people. They wore very successful, and have baptized a number of converts. Thuesday, while the two elders. Mower and Lee, were conducting a meeting in a log school house, fifty armed men sur rounded the house, and dragged them from the pulpit. The mob carried them some dis tance in the woods, threatening to hang them, but finally released them on their promise to leave tho county at once. Certain death was promised them if they ever returned. The two elders left the neighborhood leav ing their converts behind. A tiro broke out in Birmingham Wednesday and destroyed the buildings on the west side from Church to Lafayette streets. The business houses of Warner, Harris & Watkins, Dows & Burleson, Crane & Brodlx, Mux, Cohn, Houston & Murphy, E. L. Yons and M. Cartwright were burned. A portion of the stock of goods of the merchants burned out was saved. The loss is estimated at SCO,OOO. The strike of 200 miners at Coalburg this week has not been settled, and it is probable that all the free miners in this section, about 5,000 men, will bo ordered out. W. J. Bailey, a member of the general executive board of Knights of Labor, is in the city, and the minors have called on him to settle their trouble with the Coalburg company. Bailey called out President Johnson, and asked for a conference. Johnson sent him to Superintendent Lutarler, who agreed to a conference, but failed to keep his appointment. In an interview today, Bailey is reported to have said that unless the Coalburg company agreed to a compromise, all the free miners working in mines where con victs are employed would be ordered out, and the Knights of Labor would find them employ ment elsewhere. Tho Coal burg company works about 400 convicts, and tho only effect of the strike of tho 200 free miners is to reduce their output. Since tho organization of the Knights of Labor in this section there has been a most constant trouble among the miners, and a general strike lias long been anticipated. NORTH CAROLINA. Saturday Senator Vance, while riding in a road wagon, on a narrow road leading to his residence, near Black mountain, was thrown out, and, falling on his head, received a cut about three inches long reaching to tho bone. Dr. John A. Watson, of Asheville, was sum moned by telegraph and reached the senator early Sunday morning. He dressed the wound and left him in a satisfactory condition. Tho injury, though severe, is not dangerous. The mayor of Anderson, is making it exceedingly hot for violatera of the prohibition law In that city Within the last two weeks, John O’Donnell, an ex bark< eper, has been convletcd live times of selling whisky, and In each case sentenced to pay a fine of £lO9, or work thirty days on the streets. About a dozen more cases against O’Donnell will be tried by the mayor tomorrow. Thirteen other persons have been convicted on the same charge during the past two weeks, tlieir fines aggregating thirteen hundred dollais. Mayor Tolley says he is determined to stop the sale of whisky lu Anderson, as lung as the law prohibits it. SOUTH CAROLINA. Gen. W. N. Taft, ex-postmaster of Charles ton, and tho leader of the remnant of tho re publican party in this state, has become de mented. Ho went to Charleston with a Rhode Island regiment soon after the close of the war, and has lived there ever since. He engratiated himself with the negroes, and took a promi nent part iu politics. Being a man of more than ordinary ability, ho was elected to a num ber of public offices. He is the last prominent representative of tho radical carpet-bag ele ment in South Carolina, and his illness means the end of republicanism in the palmetto state. Captain Fred D. Bush and Charles B. Walker passenger agents of tho great McKenzie route to Arkmsas and Texas, lert here this evening In charge of a party of seventy-five white people from Anderson and Oconee counties, bound i<>r Jeilursou, n special co aches, through without change. Thursday while tho clerks in W. G. John, son’s store, at Lancaster, were waiting upon a crowd of customers, Dick Belk, tho colored porter, slipped into the office and stole from tho desk a tin box containing 8625. Ho hand ed it out the back door to William Wallaac, his brother-in-law, who carried it off and con cealed it. Dick, being suspected, was urrosted At first he denied the charge, but finally con fessed. Wallace was hunted up and made to surrender the box, the contents of which were found to be intact. The two thieves wore given the choice of being prosecuted, or giving each other fifty lashes on the bare back. They chose tho latter alternative. A stout cowfdde whip was procured, the culprits wore taken Into the back of the store, and compelled to strip to tho waist, whilst the clerks stood by and saw that tlie punishment was administered stxuiUy Ui accordance with tho agreement. This sight was a novel one, and almost every stroke of the lash drew tho blood from the backs of the thieves, whoso howls and cries for mercy could bo heard for squares around. A special from Charleston says: "The regis tration for tho municipal election closed Tues day with a rather startling result, the tolal vote being 10,785, against 7,017 in 1883. The increase is largely in the negro vote. Tho white vote is 4,072, against 4,517 in 1883. The colored vote is 4,861, against 3,506 in 1883. Tho total white majority is only fifty-seven, against 2,005 in 1883. Things look a little squally, but tho democrats are confident of electing* their straight ticket. Tho united labor party will probably put a ticket in the field, and this will consolidate tho democrats.” TENNESSEE. Five colored laborers on the extension of the Nashville, Florence and Sheffield railroad were killed by being buried in a mass of rocks and earth, loosened by an explosion of charges of dynamite in a side ent on a road bed. The fatality occurred near Waylaud springs, and wss the result of a misunder standing. The foreman had sent his hands away to a place of safety, with orders not to return until ho sent forthem. He, with one or twoother hands, re mained to charge tho holes in the rocks and tire tho fuses. By some misunderstanding five of his hands came back iu the cut just below the facing, where the blasting was to be, and instantly tonsof boulders and earth were hurled in on them, burying them so that they were not gotten out for forty-eiglit hours There is a very mysterious case on hands at Cleveland, A man arrived in that placfo Friday night, wounded in tho left leg, the ball entering the calf of his leg and coming out of the heel. He was taken to a hotel and subsquently removed to the residence of a prominent citizen, where lie has been kept from the public. This afternoon ho ad mitted that he was marshal of a town in Ala bama, and had killed a man while trying to make an arrest, and had been removed to Cleveland to escape mob violence. The mat ter was placed in tho hands of officers, who im mediately began investigating the truth of tho story. The name is withhold until the matter is sifted, and to prevent the where abouts of the man from becoming known. Ho says he was wounded in the log while trying to make an arrest. KENTUCKY. A special from Louisville says: “The unveiling ing of the monumeut of John C. Breckenridge brought many people to tho city today. Represen tatives of both federal and confederate armies took part in the demonstrations. The exercises began at 11 o’clock with prayer by Rev. Dr. J. J. Bullock, formerly chaplain of the United States senate. Sen ator James B. Heck gave a history of the monument association. Edward V. Valentine delivered tho statue to the association, and W. P. Breckenridge, for the association, delivered it to the state. Gov ernor Buckner received it on behalf of the state. Colonel W. C. P. Breckenridge delivered un address, instead of Hon. J. 8. Blockhurn, who was to have spoken, of the life and services of Mr. Breckenridge. FLORIDA. No new cases of fever in Tampa Tuesday, but one is reported two miles from that place. There have been no deaths. The Duval county board of health has withdrawn its quarantine inspectors and certificates of health and resi dence are no longer required of persons from South Florida. The cordon around Tampa is still maintained. IN A SNAKE COUNTRY. How a Nervous Man Saw a Startling Sigh and Woke Up His Companions. From the Lassen, Cal,, Mail. There were fourteen of us engaged on a su r veying expedition under Mr. Minto. There was an old fellow and his boy in the crowd, both of whom were sickly and were traveling for their health. The sick man was deathly afraid of rattlesnakes, and he had reason to be, for the woods were still of ’em. One night the only place in which we could camp was on the side of a hill, and wc laid our blankets down. I found a bunch of grass, and laid with my feet against it to prevent my rolling down the hill, when I began to snore. I had a pair of gray blan kets, and a black stripe extended from one end to the other, and when I lay down my big toe stuck out just at the place where the stripe ended, The sick man and his boy lay near my feet. Tho ground was covered with dry leaves, and every time any body moved tho leaves rustled and the old man would raise up and slowly look around, his eyes sticking out so that you could have easily knocked them off with a stick. He would lay down quietly, after satisfying himself that no snakes were around. At last came the fatal rustle, up bounced the old man, he saw the black stripe on my blanket; my toe moved about the same time—alas that move was fatal to the toe. With a yell that would have startled the fiends of the infernal regions, he sprang to his feet, his kid under his anns, but only for a moment did ho hold the child; it landed thirty feet away among the rocks; a club two and a half inches thick was grabbed from tlie still smoldering embers of the fire, it ascended aloft—‘that toe, oh, where was he?’ As the club went down I went up, but it was too late. I began to feel around for a pistol with which to shoot everybody, but It was gone. Tho old muti how I revere his memory—soon discovered his mis take, and he danced around like a marionette; Minto rushed up witli a bottle of painkiller, and before I could tumble to his racket, he had poured the lluid extract of lire into tlie gaping wounds. I stood on one foot—the other was pointed toward the moon. The old man felt bad, Minto felt bad, I felt bad, we all felt bad—none of them felt worse than I did—they could appreciate tho joko—more than I. I repeated tlie “Lord’s Prayer.” I sang a hymn; but all to no purpose. The sun rose iu tlie morning—l should have done the sumo thing, but as I bad accomplished th it feat several hours pre vious, it was not necessary at this time. We tied some sacks on my foot, and, hitched to a horse’s tail, we moved camp. After Thirty Years. That tbs spino and brain aro intimately con nected, all who have ever had spinal disease, or who have witnessed tho sufferings ot any one aillictcd with it, can attest. Tlie suffering generally is of tlie keenest character, and usually greatly prolonged. It scorns a mystery how tho human frame can survive tho agonies frequently endured, and one is led to wonder if the body is not toughened in tho flame of pain so that it is made capable to enduro more pain. The Warren Republican, of Williams port, Warren county, Indiana, printed the fol lowing in August last: “Rev. Colbrath Hall, of Pike, was in town yesterday, looking hale and hearty. Ho re ports the wonderful recovery of his wife within tho last eighteen months, after being a confirm ed invalid for over thirty years from spinal trouble. She, about eighteen months ago, began tlie uso of tlie Compound Oxygen Treat ment, and attributes hor recovery to the use of that medicine. She is now able to walk, get into and out of the buggy, take rides, etc. All acquainted witli Mr. Hall and his family, will rejoice with them in this remarkable re covery.” In a letter dated West Lebanon, Indiana, September 2,1885, Mrs. Sarah H. Hall wrote, enclosing the article, and pronouncing it correct. Send to Drs. Starkey & Palen, 1629 Arch street, Philadelphia, Pa., for the last number of Health and Line, which is sent free to ail applicants; also tho treatise on Compound Oxygen, a valuable little book es two hundred pages.

Before the crowning event of convention—Miss Willard’s annual address—tho entire front of tlie platform was lined with representatives of tlio press, among whom were Miss Catherine Cole of the New Orleans Picayune, and Mrs. M. Helen Crane, for the New York World. Perfect quietness prevailed 'while Miss Willardjdelivered her annual address, which was frequently inter rupted by applause. In love, kindness and in sympathy, in breadth of vision, and depth of resolve, hor message to tho white ribbon women cannot be excelled. At the conclusion of tho address, Mrs. Zorelda Wallace led in prayer, and then fol lowed tho introduction of distinguished visi tors of Nashville,and Dr. Tanner of Alabama. Following is a synopsis of tl»e annual address of Miss Frances E. Williard, president of tlio National Woman’s Christian Temperance Union: Forty states and torrttorli's have sent 400 repre sentatives to tlie metropolis of southern education, northern housekeepers have crossed Mason and Dixon’s line to clasp liaiuls with their sisters. No surer token that eve are a nation has been given since 1864. There are not enough anti-saloon re publicans at tlie north to carry prohibition In a single state that are now struggling to secure it; and there are not enough anti-saloon democrats nt tho south, has been proved In this memorable year of our constitutional defeats; but there arc enough temperance luon in both to take possession of the government and give us national prohibi tion in tho party of the near future, which is to be a party of good. Miss Louise L. Smitli, of Rhode Island, one of our evangelist veterans, has proposed that we district the nation, giving to each subdivision a leader of its own. 1 liorw hor plan may be carefully considered. But my heart turns with tender love and blessing toward the church of Christ and prays for the time when herown hallow ed ministers shall be so persuasive that outside soci eties shall no longer prevail; when our legal work shall broaden into Christian citizenship; our educa tional efforts into a public kindergarten and indus trial schools, whore hygiene shall be tlio study earliest and longest taught; when tho church shall welcome us to all her councils, lay upon our heads her consecra ting hands and claim for her own the voice that speaks for Christ. Wo must work in tho manifest destiny of tlio municipal ballot for women as a means of enforcing the prohibitory law, and em phasize more strongly titan before a notional amendment which shall remove till legal disabili ties from the daughters of tho republic. 1 believe also that the prohibition ]>arty should strongly state ns its ultimate alm two amendments to the na tional constitution. Tlio first calling for universal prohibition; the second, enfranchising women; and that It should carefully study the platforms, of labor reformers, both Kinghts of Labor and Grangers, that it may incorporate principles of arbitration and co-oporation into Its own with any others that seem to be based upon Christian ethics and Christian brotherhood. Among these is most assuredly involved equal wages as well as equal moral standards for women and men; heavier pen alties for crimes against women, the raising of tho ago of protection to 18 years. Tlie women's Temperance Publication association last year published thirty milion pages—this year over fifty millioh. The total issue of the Union Signal for year 1,631,- 060 copies, an average of 31,428 copies per week. Our four iwriodlculs have a combined circulation of over (0,000 copies. The Woman’s Christian Temperance union of Ohio has arranged for a new department in the in terest of peace. This is strictly germain to temper ance work, for nothing increases intemperance like war, and nothing tends toward war like in temperance. We ought to rejoice iu tho development of athletic sports for women as well ns men, since whatever conduces to the natural tonic and stimulus of out door life leads away ftom all narcotic drugs. Tho future of the National Temperance hospital, located in Chicago, is assured. As a temperance people, we must no longer leave our Interests undefended in Washington. I suggest Hint this Convention invito tlie Sous of Temperance, Good Templars and the prohibition party to combine witli us In an effort to engage a Christian temperance, lawyer at Wash ington who slin.ll watcli our interests ns carefully as Louis Shade & Co. do those of the brewers and dis tillers. I have always been opposed to secret socie ties, and never more so than today. Thov are tlie relics cos mcdicvlal |tlmes, and destined to be come extinct. But Goo I Templars and Knights of Labor have so much In them that is praiseworthy —their secrctism is so nominal and tlieir purposes so helpful—that it Ims always soi tncd lb t.ic they formed exceptions to tho general rule. I believe they will not always be secretive, even in name, but that tills useless feature will fade away and merge into tho light of the common day. It is a satisfaction tonoto tho triumph of tlie better element in the Knights of Labor over tlie anarchists and socialists; the growing influence of Mr. Powderly and tlie fearlessness of his utterances, and Mr. Deitchman's, concerning temperance. But In these days we Iced and clothe thelpoor to a wise purpose when wo show them how to feed and clothe them selves. Teinpcruncedoesthiit.

Does the Stocking of Our Rivers Amount to Anything. It will to rornombered that the United States fish commission has, during tlio post week, been placing carp in Hie different rivers of Georgia. Tlie strong points in favor of tlio carp aro tlieir rapid growth, tho ease with which they aro kept alive, and tlio Rinall amount ot trouble they give generally. Asa table fish they have never boon considered particularly fine, many people believing them to bo too coarse for eating purposes. In tlie above connection, it may bo interest ing to road the following letter received at tho agricultural department yesterday, from Mr. O. 8. Porter, of Covington. Under date of November 18th, ho writes to Commissioner Henderson as follows: "In that tho fish com mission is to, or is now, distributing carp, you may or may not remember that I characterized the whole carp business as a humbug in talk ing to you of it. I am prepared to say that I was to some extent wrong, tho leather and mirror carp in any water, and the scale carp in ponds aro, in my opinion, in this section a failure. But tho scale carp in running water, open streams, or ponds, aro a success. Tho carp, scaly ones, that have been given mo from time to time, I put in tho Yellow river, above my dam. Many, too, have come in from broken ponds, so that now there are a good lot of them in the river. In fishing for sucker one will catch as many or rather more carp than suckers. I have lound them to be ns good as a rod-finnod suckers. So now pleaso allow mo to ask you to use your Influence to have as many scale carp placed in our rivers as possible. If put in at tlio railroad bridge or hero it Is all O. K. I think vastly more of it than putting in shad to come back in two years—tho carp remain with us, and brood thoro, arc good and catchable at all sea sons. But, mind you, scale carp only.” The fish ctommisslon placed 500 scale carp in Yellow river Thursday, at tlio Georgia rail road bridge. A large number have boon placed in tlio Georgia rivers during the week. "Oh, It Was Pitiful I” Os course it was I Ho tried one remedy after another, and finally gave up and died, when his life might have been saved by taking Dr. Bierce’s “Golden Medical Discovery”—tlie great "Consumption Cure”—which, if prompt ly employed, will soon subdue all threatening symptoms, such as cough, labored breathing, night sweats, spitting of blood, etc., and re storing waning strength and hope, .ffcctually stop the poor consumptive's rapid progress grav eward.

The pa-! tients have pains about the chest! and sides, and someties in the back. They feel dull and sleepy? the mouth has a bad taste, espe-, daily in the morning. A sortl of sticky slime collects about the! teeth. The appetite is poor I There is a feeling like a heavy' load on the stomach; sometimes a .faiut, all gone sensation at the pit of the stomach which food' does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the hands and feet be. come cold and clammy. After a while a cough sets iu, at first dry, but after a few months it is attended with a greenish-colored expectoration. The patient feels tired all the while, and sleep does not seem to afford any rest. After a time he becomes nervous, irrita* 1 ble and gloomy, and has evil forebodings. 'There is a giddi ness, a sort of whirling sensa tion in the head when rising up suddenly. The bowels become costive; the skin is dry andhot at times; the blood becomes thick and stagnant; the whites of the eyes become tinged with yel low, the urine is scanty andhighi colored, depositing a sediment after standing. There is fre-- quently a spitting up of the food, sometimes with a sour taste and sometimes with a< sweetish taste; this is frequently attended with palpitation of the heart; the vision becomes im paired, with spots before the eyes; there is a feeling prostration and weakness. Al A of these symptoms are in turn present. It is thought that' nearly one-third of our popula tion has this disease in some of its varied forms. It has been found that physi cians have mistaken the cause; of this disease. Some have treated it for a liver complaint, others for kidney disease, etc., etc., but none of these kinds of treatment have been attended with success; for it is really constipation and dyspepsia. It is also found that Shaker Ex tract of Roots, or Mother Sei gel’s Curative Syrup, when properly prepared will remove this disease in all its stages. Care should be taken, however, to secure the genuine article. IT WILL SELL BETTER THAN COTTON. Mr, John O. Hemptinstall, of Chulafirmee, Cleburn county, Ala., writes: “My wife has been so much benefited by Shaker Extract of Roots or Seigel’s Syrup that she says she would rather be without part of her food than without the medicine. It has done her more good than the doctors and all other medi cine put together. I would rida twenty miles to get it into the hands of any sufferer if he can get it no other way. I believe it will soon sell in this State better than cotton.” TESTIMONY FROM TEXAS. Mrs. S. E. Barton, of Varner, Ripley county, Mo., writes that she had been long afflicted with dyspepsia and disease of the urinary organs and was cured by Shaker Extract of Roots* Rev. J. J. McGuire, merchant, of the same place, who sold Mrs. Barton the medicine, says he has sold it for tour years and never knew it to fail. SHE WAS ALMOST DEAD. I was so low with dyspepsia that there was not a physician to be found who could do any thing with me. I had fluttering of the heart and swimming of the head. One day I read your pamphlet called “Life Among; the Shakers,” which described my disease better than I could myself. I tried the Shaker Extract of Roots and kept on: with it until today liejoicein good health. Mrs. M. E.
