HUMOROUS.
Now is the season dear girls, when
you should attend to your soles. Let
them be thick.
A Burlington girl says there is no
truth in the saying, “Like father like
son.” She says she likes the son first
rate, but she can't b^ar the father.
—Tid-Bits: Summer boarder:—“You
have a remarkable fine lot of chick
ens, I see.” Farmer—“Yes, and, Mr.
Spinx, you may not believe it, but
those chickens seldom die. Why,
whenever we want one to eat we gen
erally have to go out and kill it.”
Chicago Rambler: Mrs. Montague.
—Why, Mary Ann, what is your rea-
son for leaving us so suddenly? Don’t
you like the place?”
Mary Ann—Yis, mum, the place is
very well, an’ ye do yer best; but yer
rlresses is a miserable fit for me, an’
so Oi jist made up me mind to lave
this day.
—Modern Novel: She used to meet
him at the gate with a kiss and a
smile, like morning light; but now she
eomesto the door in a dingy old cali
co rapper and shoes down at the heel,
shades her eyes with her hand, and,
with a voice that seems to need oil
ing, inquires: “Did you bring that
butter.”

Chicago News: “Good morning,
Mr. Dobbins; I suppose I may rely
on you to support me at the polls?”
“For what?”
“Why, I’m a candidate for a seat in
Congress.”
“Then I’ll support you, sir. What
we want is more men in the seats of
Congress and fewer on the floor.”
^-Chicago Tribune: Arinand—“Come,
fly with me, 1 implore you!” Camille—
“Never, sir; you insult me!” Armand—
■“What you will not go!” Camille—“I
will resist you with all the strength of
my woman’s nature. If you would
tear me from this place you must first
drug me and render me unconscious.
You will find a battle of chloroform on
the bureau over there.”

Harper’s Bazarr: “What a very
pretty girl your friend is Miss Con-
stantina!” said Dumley. “Such bright
eyes and clear complexion one seldom
sees. Hasn't she Irish blood in her
veins?”
'“Oh, yes,” Miss Constantina re
plied; “she is a true daughter of Erin
Go Bragh.”
“Well, all I have to say is,” added
Dumley, who greatly admires a pret
ty girl, “Mr. and Mrs. Go Bragh
ought to be proud of her.'’
—“Mister, could you give a fellew
a little help? I ain’t had good sleep
for three days, and ain't eat nothing
since yesterday morning.” The men
dicant had on his most woe-begone
look, but the odor of his breath
was extremely suspicious. The gen
tlemen responded.
“Look here, my man, if I were to
give you anickie, would you buy bread
with'it or would you spend it for whis
ky.
“Well I wouldn't spend it for whis
ky; yon can bet your last red on
that.”
“How am I to know that?” persis
ted the gentleman.
“Say, mister, I may be thought an
ornary and all that, but there is one
thing! ain’t got to yet, and that’s
drinkin’ five cent whisky.”
His honest pride was rewarded by
a fifteen-cent donation.
From the Chicago Herald.
“I was down in South Carolina du
ring all of the earthquake troubles,”
said a commercial traveler, “and I
never again want to be a witness of
such scenes as I saw there. I’ll not
attempt to describe the incidents to
you—they have already been suffi
teiently touched upon in the daily pa
pers. But there is one little phase of
the thing which the newspapers have
not even mentioned. You know bus
iness was suspended in Charleston
All of the stores excepting grocery
and provision stores were closed. The
banks were not open. The theaters
closed their doors. Even the newspa
pers suspended publication for an
issue or two. But the day after the
first terrible quake I happened out by
the baseball grounds, and I’ll be durn-
ed if there wasn’t two clubs in there a
playing, and quite a crowd sitting on
the benches cheering the players,
looked through a crack in the fence,
and just then another shock came
The umpire motioned to the players
to go right along, but the pitcher, who
was then in the box, asked to have
the game called a few minutes, be
cause the home plate was wobbling so
he couldn’t put the ball in straight.
The umpire acceded to this reasona
ble request, and after a delay of ten
minutes I heard the umpire call out,
‘play ball—batter up!’ Then I felt sat
isfied that baseball is the one Ameri
can institution which even an earth
quake can’t knock out.”

SAM HILL.
The Slayer of John P. Simmons
wants a Pardon.
Sam Hill, the slayer of John P. Sim
mons has been heard from.
It will be remembered that Hill shot
and killed Simmons in the barroom
of the National hotel in 1878. He was
tried and convicted, and was sentenc
ed to the penitentiary for life. Before
he could be sent to the penitentiary
his lawyers succeeded in proving him
insane, and he was placed in the luna
tic asylum at Milledgeville. There he
was given a good deal of liberty, and
one day be walked away and remained
away until this day From time to
time various persons claimed to have
met him in first one city and then an
other. It was even said that he had
been seen in Atlanta. These persons
may have been correct in their state
ments, but Hill was never molested.
Yesterday Governor Gordon receiv
ed a long letter from Hill dated at
Kansas City, Mo. Hill reviews his
case and begs for clemency. The
letter was taken under consideration
by the governor, but he gave no inti
mation of his intentions in the mat-
ter.
It is not known what Hill is doing
in Kansas City, nor is anything known
of his mental condition, when he
was in the asylum, Dr. Powell, the
superintendent” regarded him as an
almost hopeless monomaniac.-Atlanta

would recommend the Buckeye Force Pump, which myself and

Especially is this the case with Green’s
August Flower and Boschee’s German

per dozen, has been added to increase the
size ot the bottles containing these reme
dies, thereby giving one-fifth more medi

The citizens of this section of coun
try will hear with profound regret the
very sudden death, in New York city,
early this morning, of Win. F. Her
ring, once a honered citizen of Atlan
ta. Mr. Herring was one of the mer
chant princes of the South. He got
his start where Capt. John Keely is
now. He then went to Augusta,
where he amassed considerable
wealth. From there he went to New
York city, and at the time of his
death lie was a partner in a large firm
in Augusta, Philadelphia and Liver
pool. Mr. Herring had only been
back from Europe a few weeks w*hen
he died. He took an active interest in
and contributed largely with his pen
to the discussion of the Free Trade
question; and his articles w*ere pub
lished here, in Boston and New York
City, and widely read. He was a
strong democrat, and of his own
means contributed very liberally to
Cleveland's election. "Mr. Herring
was the brother of Mrs. R. C. Leyden
and Mrs. E. A. Angier, who reside
here. The remains will doubtless be
brought to Atlanta for interment, as
Mr. Herring’s mother and father are
interred in the Oakland cemetery.—

We copy the following from the
Evening News of the 19th. Such was
Mr. Authur’s course, mainly, as Presi
dent that we felt constrained at times
to compliment his fairness as our chief
Executive:
Speaking of the death of ex-Presi
dent Arthur, the Charleston News
and Courier of this morning says that
Mr. Arthur had been in bad health
for some sime, so that, his death was
not altogether unexpected. The lux
urious manner in which he lived at
the White House affected him serious
ly, and the self denial which be
finally practiced came too late to save
him. In a public, sense, Mr. Arthur was
both fortunate and respectable. But
as a makeweight on the Republican
ticket in 1880, he drew the capital
prize in the lottery of assassination
and by his conservatism and good

Child-Birth Easy!
The time has come when the terri
ble agony of this critical period in wo
man’s life can be avoided. A distin
guished physician, who spent 44 years
in this branch of practice, left to
child-bearing woman this legacy, The
Mother's Friend, and to-day there
are thousands of women who, having
used this remedy before confinement,
rise up and call his name blessed. We
can prove all we claim by living wit
nesses, and anyone interested can call,
