Coming Upon Os ?
Like a thief at night it steals
in upon us unawares. The pa
tients have pains about the chest
and sides, and sonicties in the
back. They feel dull and sleepy,
the mouth has a bad taste, espe
cially in the morning. A sort
of sticky’ slime collects about the
teeth. The appetite is poor
There is a feeling like a heavy
load on the stomach; sometimes
a faint, all gonesensation at the
pit of the stomach which food
docs not satisfy. The eyes arc
Sunken, the hands and feet be
come cold and clammy. After a
while a cough sets in, atfirist
dry, but after a few months itsd
attended with a greenish-colore
expectoration. The patient
feels tired all the while,
and sleep does seem
to afford any rest. After a
time lie becomes nervous, irrita
ble and gloomy, and has evil
forebodings. There is faddg-
Hess, a sort of whirling sensa
tion in the head when rising up
suddenly. The bowels become
costive;the skinisdry andhot at
times; the blood becomes thick
and stagnant; the whites of the
eyes become tinged with yel
low, the urine isscanty and high
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 of greal
prostration and weakness. Al
of these symptoms are in turn
presen!:. 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
clans have mistaken the cause
of this disease. Some have
treated it lor 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 C. Hemptinstall, of
Chulafirmee, Cleburn county,
Ala , writes: ‘‘My wife lias been
tjo much benefited by Shaker
Extract of Roots or Seigel’s
Syrup that she says she would
father 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 ride
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.”

A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN TENNESSEE
GEORGIA.
Tho returns are not all in vet—not by a jug
ful—but enough are in to show that Ogle
thorpe county has voted the dry ticket by ov£r
300 majority.
The rainpai :n was one of many incidents.
Under the enthusiasm Lorn of their victory in
Atlanta, in Hancock county, and in Taliaferro
countv, the wets conceived the idea that they
would reverse matters also in Oglethorpe.
They went about securing names to a peliti n,
but the first papers sent out were lost, and the
work had to be done over again. They cau
cusscd and debated, and wet stock ran exceed
ingly high. In fact, it went so high that at
one tlfne it. was Conceded that, they had the
county by heavy odds.
The dry men then went to work. They
organized promptly in every precinct. The
preachers and the women went to work. The
Echo devoted its entire spa< e to the subject.
Jam ph let copies of JP-n. 1L W. Grady’s
Atlanta speeches were spread broadcast, and
formed the text of many stump speeches As
election day approached, the wets grew dis
heartened, rmd th' drys plucked up courage.
Ail day long the Contest continued, and
when the sun went down it wai upon the
routed wets and the* exuberant dry.-!.
So Oglethorpe county remains dry for two
years more.

1. N. Wordworth, of New York, while
a hunting trip at the Johnson place in oust
Doupln rty, nearly drove over a great rattle
snake which whs lying in a partially torpid
condition in the road. He and u conjpanion
dismounted and nearly stepped upon the ser

me tsuied about four feet in length and had

‘•lt is a singular fact ,” said Dr. K. K. Sis
sons, of New Bedford, Mass., an ardent gun
ner, wintering at Atbany, “that although I
have hunted north, west and south, I Eave
never yet eonrn across a liva rattle ,nako,though
my companions frequently have done So, 1,1 nd
I Imve killed many other species of simkes.
Down at Tampa, I’la., where 1 spent last

with a rattlesnake will frequently
unnerve the Mr* ngest man. At Mulht shoals,
upon Long Key, where vve bad taken stands
upon u deer hunt, I saw one of the drivers rush
into the w.itci and cry in a weak voice: “For

A movement is said to lx> on foot to run
“wet” candidates for the legislature in
Houston this year. This county has been dry
since January Ist, 18-82, being one of the first
counties in the state to adopt prohibition. The
election was held under a local option act in
which there is no provision for subsequ'-nt
elections at all, and there is no way to change
the existing status except by legislative enact
ment. Ti c prohibition law has been generally
enforced, and Ims given general satisfaction in
its results. The peace and good order of
society lias no doubt been greatly promoted,
the general prosperity enhanced. There is a
sentiment, however, in favor of the .sale of
liquor which may or may not grow, depending
on whetlii r the contiguous counties, < lawford,

“dry” to “wet.”

the stock, which he had purchased. Barm s
talk'd Owen a liar, when the latter struck tiie
former in the face with his left hand. A dia
mond ring on one of his lingers cut a big gash
in Barnes’ face. Barnes drew a double-action
Smith >t Wesson revolver, and fired
low shots, one of which took ef
fect in Owen’s neck, and another
in Lis breast. The ball wliich entered the

Tiie upn me court has decided un extremely
sem aiional ease, that ol John Bolleyjack, Con
victed ol burning the house of Mrs. Hamlet
in the (ith district of Davidson county,in the at
tempt to burn to death a young lady who was
spending the night there. Judge Lmton, in
reviewing tiie case Wednesday, said that the
case rests upon the testimony ot one Griggs,
who claims to have been an accomplice for the
sunt of two dollars. The court held that his
tesl imony was unworthy of belief. The court
below restricted tiio investigation of the jury
ns to the sanity or insanity of the defendant to
Hie instant of the commission -4J the crime,
and that it would make no difference what the
condition of bislinind was at any other time.
Since there was no pyoof offered of the insanity
of the defendant after the crime was com
mitted, and that the defendant laid out
in a thicket in February, iit the vain
and snow, unfed and unprotected, for nearly a
week, and returned, as the defendant says,
“when liis mind came back,” to his home,
where two physicians and many witnesses tes
tified before a niAgi.strAie that lie was insane,
and since this laying out in Hie thicket was
used by the state to corroborate the defend
ant's accomplice, Griggs, who was proven
unreliable, and the court said that in view of
those facts, and that the defendant li.id court
ed and importuned a Miss Ozmeut t. marry
him for thirteen or fourteen years, and that he
ovet hearda Mr. Uryley ask Mr. Oznieijt for
bis daughter the evening before the house was
burned; that such information, under the
circumstances, was calculated bo dethrone his
reason, at least for tlio time; tho courts' charge
was calculated to mislead the jury, and

splendidly decorated streets to exposition
grounds was more than a mile in length, and
consisted of large bodies of infantry and artil

and ex-governor of the state, Generals Spinner

Marshal Henry, went alone, and after watching and
waiting around the house lor about two hours or
dered the negro to open the door, which the negro
did with rehi tame, nml the immient he did so
Henry jumped into the room with u pi-tol in one
haml, a ponee hmteru in the other, throwing the
light in the face of the accused and ordering him to

The most important suit for damages over
tried in the state was called in circuit court at
Jackson Monday.
Bev. Frederick Howard, D.D., pastor
of Central Baptist church of Jackson asks for
§50,000 damages against sixteen of the lead
ing members of tlio First Baptist church, in
cluding the pastor, and also against the Forked
Deer Blade, of that city; the Tennessee
Baptist, at Memphis, and tho Baptist Re
flector, of Chattanooga. The papers included
in the suit published a strong article in
1886, signed by sixteen members of the
First Baptist church, in which the
past record of Dr. Howard was painted in very’
dark colors. They charged that he had borne
two or three aliases in South Carolina and
Georgia, as “Howlett,” “Hewlett,” and “How
ard” ; that ho had eloped with another man's
wife in South Carolina ; bad associated with
negroes; bad been guilty of malfeasance while
an official, and other damaging charges. How
ard is an Englishman by birth, and his father
lives in London. Both sides have taken vol
uminous testimony in Europe, and Attorneys
Bullock, for the defense, and S. N. Hays, for
tlio plaintiff, have just returned from" South
Carolina and Georgia, where they have
searched the court records ami taken deposi
tions, comprising hundreds of pages. Eminent
legal talent has been employed, and tho case
will be ably handled.
TEXAS.
There is considerable comment in Texas in
regard to I'-..-c it's procliunutioii concerning
Greer county. Il is considered negative in regard to
tho question of title to the land, mid is looked upon
iisa precaution mid warning only to tl.e settlers in
this disputed territory’and as purely a matter of
official duty on his part to protect the interest of the
luffed States until tiie question’s settled bv the
proper antliorlty. Tiie trade of Greer county is al
most exclusively done in Vernon, consequently
Vernon and Wilbarger are more interested In this
disputed iU.'.-tion of title than any
other itetioii of Texas. The people
of Verr-ou have been congratulating themselves
that Greer county would scon be settled up with in
dustrious and prosperous farmers, mid would tie a
great protection to farmers and small stockmen in
their section, a.i it is believed by most poisons that
il'Greer county be decided to be a part of the Indian
territory it will be leased by large cattle eomp mies
anil be a great annoyance to tiie people in having
their cattle driven over in |the territory, and they
would not be allowed to drive them back on account
of it being under the supervision of an Indian agent
of the United Slates government. Farmers tiavc
hen tolore been greatly worried with constant and
continued round-ups of their cattle by large
cattle companies, an 1 their emtio driven
from tholr ne ustomed ranges, and some
times driven off. mid they are forcedin the busy
season to unit the farm work and attend these cm
stai t round-ups to keep their cattle at home. Tiie
people of Greer county have lost their best friend
when L. Q. C. I.imir left the president’s cabinet,
but they yet have hope that finally this disputed
territory wUI fuff to Texas and bo settled up with
good farmers and prosperous 'people in tiie np.tr fu
ture, and not allowed to bd given over to large cat
tle companies. Tiie treaty between tiie United
States and Spain certainly meant tiie north fork of

11. B. Garland was shot and instantly
killed at Scottsboro. Friday afternoon at
s:2oo’cloek by W. H. Dietls, the sheriff of the
county. James Ball, a nephew of the sheriff,
was shot in the shoulder and seriously hurt.
Sheriff Dicus received two bulls in his body,
»producing two wounds, neither of which are
serious. The shooting grew out of an old filed
which lias existed between the parties for
years. They met on tiie street at Scottsboro
111 the afternoon, and without saying a word
drew their revolvers and began" shooting at
each other, with the result as stated. Seven
shots were tired, fiveof which took effect. Tho
affair caused quite a sensation, as all the par
ties are well known. Dicus was arrested.
NORTH C AROLINA.
Tho supreme court has rendered a de
cision in a case which perhaps has no parallel
in legal annals.
A man in Robinson county was indicted
for disturbing religious worship—a
grave misdemeanor in this stalo. It wasstated
that he was a member of a Methodist church,
and that lie sang in such away as to disturb
the entire congregation, his vo ce being heard
after the voices of all the other singers had
ceased. Tiie case went before tl.e superior
court, mid tho trial was very
interesting. All these facts wore brought
out. A witness, asked to give a description of
the defendant's singing, requested permission
to imitate it, and so perfectly’ did ho reproduce
the voice and manner of tlio defendant as to
produce bursts of laughter which, irresistible
mid prolonged, convulsed alike the spectators,
tho lawyers, tiie jury ami the judge. It was
in evidence that the disturbance in the church
caused by tiie singing was decided and serious,
its effect lieir.g to make one part of tho congre
gation laugh and to make the other half very
angry, the frivolous and irreligious enjoying it
as fuu, while the devout and serious were in
dignant. I; was further sliown that the con
gregation had been so greatly disturbed bv it
that the preacher had positively declined to
“give out" any hymns, and thut the presiding
elder of the district had refused to conduct
services in the church ar all.
Tho defendant did not object to this evi
dence. He was p-t upon the stand hi liis own
| behalf, the law of ilif stAtfi allowing the de
' fondants in any s< rt of case to thus testify. He
; said he was a conscientious singct 1 , hhil that
I though he knew his voice was not musical, his
conscience reproved him if he did not sing
■ every time 111 linreh song was rniSi d.
Tlio judge nevertheless charged the jury
| that it was a disturbance of religious service's
| in tho tin ailing of the act. and the defendant
was convicted. Be took an appeal to the su-
I preme court, whieli rendered the opinion that
1 a “conscientious" singer causing a distatl ance,
' though lie distnr’.'s others, such disturbance is
not an indictable offense. Tho action of the
■ lower coutt was reversed and the defendant
< retires tho victor in Hie singular legal contest.

TERRIBLE VENGEANCE.
A Jealous Husband Has tiie Hand of HiS
Al ife Cut Off and Sent to Her Lover.
From a London Exchange.
At tiie restoration of Louis Phillippe to the
French throne many of Napoleon’s soldiers
were left in comptirative poverty. One of
them, a famous general, had a beautiful daugh
ter whom he wished to marry rich, but who
fell in love with a jioor young man—an under
secretary or something of that-kind. She mar
ried, at her father’s request, a rich count, but
refits: d at the wedding ceremony to allow the
ring to be placed upon her left hand, upon
which she wore a ruby, put there by her lover.
Her jealous husband was not long in finding
out what was the matter, and, intercepting a
letter in which the ardent young lover claimed
Matilda’s hand as his, he determined upon an
awful revenge.
One night as Hie celebrated surgeon, Lis
franc, was returning from a professional visit,
he was captured by a party of men, blindfolded
and taken to a distant palaOe,and led tlircgigli
a labyrinth of passages and looms. At last he
found himself inn small chamber furnished
with remarkable luxury, and half-lit by an ala
baster lamp hung from the ceiling. The win
dows were hermetically sealed, as well as the
curtains of an alcove at the end of the room.
“Doctor,” said the man with whom he now
found himself alone, in an abrupt, loud voice,
“prepare for yc.ur work—an amputation.”
“ Where is the patient?” asked tho doctor,
turning toward tiie alcove. The curtains moved
slightly, and lie heard a stifled sigh.
“Prepare, sir,” said the man, convulsively.
“But, sir, I must see the patient.”
“You will see only the hand you are to cut
off.”
The doctor, folding his arms and looking
firmly at the other, said: “Sir, you brought me
here by force. If you need my professional as
sistance I shall do"niy duty without caring for
or troubling myself about"your secrets, but if
you wish to commit a crime you cannot force
me to be your accomplice.”
“Bo content, sir,” replied tho other; “there
is no crime in this,” and leading him to the al
cove he drew from the curtain a hand. “It is
this you are to cut off.”
Tiie doctor took the hand in his; his fingers
trembled at the touch. It was a lady’s hand—
small, beautifully modeled, and its pure white
sot off by a magnificent ruby encircled with
diamonds.
“But,” cried tho doctor, “there is no need of
amputation; there is—”
“And I, sir! I say,” thundered the other,
“if you refuse I will do it myself’” and. seizing
a hatchet, he drew the hand toward a small ta
ble and seemed about to strike. The doctor
arrested his arm. “Do your duty, then doc
tor.”
“O,bnt this is an atrocious act,” said the
surgeon.
“What is that to you? It must be done. I
wish it; madam wishes it also. If necessary
she will demand it herself. Come, madam,
request the doctor to do you this service.”
Tiie doctor, nonplussed and almost fainting
under the torture of bis feelings, heard from
the alcove in a half-expiring voice and an in
expressible accent of despair and resignation:
“Sir, since you arc a surgeon—yes—l entreat
you —lot it be you, and not—oh, yes, you! you!
in mercy!”
“Well, doctor,” said the man, “you or I?”
Tiie resolution ol this man was so frightful,
and the prayer of the poor lady so full of en
treaty and despair, that the doctor felt that
even humanity commanded of him compliance
with the appeal of the victim. He took his
instruments with a last imploring look at the
unknown, who only pointed to the hand, and
then with a sinking heart began the operation.
For the first time in his experience his hand
trembled, but the knife was doing its work;
there was a cry from the alcove, and then all
was silent. Nothing was heard but tho horrid
sound of the operation till tho hand and the
saw fell together on the floor.
Lisfranc wore the ruby on his watch chain,
where it was seen by the young lover on hts
return to Paris, and but of it grew a duel that
led to a disclosure of the infamous crime. The
morning after tiie young lover’s arrival at the
capital he was presented by a man in livery
with an ebony box. Opcningit he discovered a
bleeding hand—MatildaZ—and on it a paper
with these words: “See how the countess of—
keeps her oath.”

HOW TOJ ARVE A TURKEY.
A Few Rules to be Observed in Accomplish
ing the Feat.
From Goai Housekeeping.
Put the fork in firmly as far as it will go
across the middle of the breast bone, and if the
whole bird Is to bo carved, do not remove it
until the breast is separated from tlio back.
Opinions vary as to which should bo removed
first, the wing or the leg. but it is safe to fol
low the general rule; if the wing be so long or
the bird be trussed in such away that the end
of tho wing conies close to the thigh, remove
the wing first, and then it will not be in the
tray when removing the second joint.
Gut- through the flesh on the ton of tho
shoulder, work the point of tiie knife" into tho
joint and press it outward, and when the joint
separates, cut through the flesh close to the
body, but do not take any’ of tho breast with
the wing. Then ent through the skin between
the thigh or second joint and tho body. Bend
the log over with the knife, and the joint will
be disclosed. Cut through the flesh from
above down toward the tail, and if tlio joint
doesnot separate easily, turn the knife and
cut from tho tail toward tho joint. Make a
clean cut, not a jagged one, and leave a gen
erous portion of tho meat on the side bone.
Then remove the wing and second joint on
the other side.
Shave off tho breast in thin slices, begin
ning just above tho tving, and slanting slight
ly from the front of the breast bone down
toward the wing. Bo careful to take a por
tion of crisp outside on the edge of each slice.
Tho knife must have a very "keen edge to en
able yon to do this neatly. By cutting it in
this slanting direction, the meat is cut across
the grain instead of With the grain, as in tiie
case when tiie cuts are parallel with the breast
bode.
After the breast is carved out across tie crisp
skin near the neck and below the breast, in
order to reacli the stuffing. Insert the point of
tho knife at the front of the breast bone, turn
back tlio wish bone, and separate it. Press tho
point of the knife through the Cartilage at each
side of the front of the breast bone, separating
the collarbones from the breast. Tip the body
slightly, slip tiie knife under thfi end of the
shoulder blade (it lies close to the back bone,
not quite half way down from the nock), and
turn it over toward the wing joint. Repeat
this process on the opposite side. Cut across
the thin ribs, dr through tlio dartilago wliich
divides the ribs on each side, Aenarating thq
breast bone from tho back. I.aV the breast
bone to one side,and now remote the bone from
it. Take the stuffing from the back. Turn
the back over, place the knife midway just be
low the ribs, and Witli the fork lift up the tail
end, separating the back from tho upper part
of the body. Place ths fork in the middle of
the back bone and cut close to the back bone
from otie end to the other on eadh side, freeing
the side bone.
It is not often necessary to cut up the whole
body of the turkey, Slid eveft if the meat
will be needed, it can be takC-fi off without dis
jointing the bones. After tlid breast is sliced
and the Wish-bone removed, (which some
child is always sure to want), tip the bird over
slightly, and with the point of the knife re
move the oysters lying in the hollow of the side
bone, and also the small portions of the
dark meat found on (lie lower end of tho
side bone. The pope’s nosfi is a choice
bit relished by many. Then remove the fork
and divide the wings at the joints; if the
drumsticks wore n ’t taken off at first, separate
them at the second joint. Cut off the meat
from the second joint of the wing and also
from the thigh, as these, when large, ate more
than one po:<on requites, and it is inconve
nient to have so large bones 0:1 orte’s plate. If
no preference be expressed. Leip to
light ami dark meat and stuffing.
