After taking this medicine no one will say, “1 am bilious,’’ “I have been subject to severe spells of Con gestion of the Liver, and have been in the habit of taking from 15 to 20 grains of calomel which gen erally laid me up for three or four days.

T. Il TIM.UOS’S In southern Georgia peaches and watermelons are plentiful. O. 11. Dockry is the Republican candidali- for governor of North Carolina. Ten-1- s ■ spend - $3,000,000 an nually in educating the children of j the state. The Republicans of Tennessee will nominate a candidate for gov ernor on July 18th next. Dr. Makenzie receives $15,000 a quarter, or SOO,OOO a year, for at tending on the emperor of Germany. Latest developments show that, I the defalcation of Tate, state treas urer of Kentucky, amounts to $2 17,- ; 000. A collection agency in New York is run exclusively by women, which , disproves the adage “womans’ work j is never ‘dun.’ ” Chas. Beyers, a convict sentenced to eight years at Jeffersonville, Ind ent oil'ail his fingers with a hatchet in ord i" o avoid work. Up North there is talk of forming a Limburger cheese trust. It will be strong one and there is no telling what per scent it will pay. Kentucky’ distillers have organi zed to limit the output of whisky. It is now in order for the people to organize to limit the input. A New York civil engineer has made application for a patenton an engine which, it is said, is capable of traveling 95 miles an hour. J. 11. Estill, editor of the Savan nah News, was elected a memberof i tho national Democratic committee ; for Georgia to succeed Patrick Walsh last week. The Chattanooga Times is author ity for the statement that Josie Mansfield is in Berlin alive and w./ll and fuli of the devil. This is truly’ a startling statement. A man in Detroit was saved from a horrible death by the courage of two pet cats, which clawed him awake jest in time for him to es cape from a burning building. As a trifling instance of Mr. Gladstone’s curious habits of preci sion, it may be mentioned that he rarely opens a parcel without unty ing—not cutting—the string, tying it carefu’!v u-- and putting it away for i'i’.tn use In drawe, will-di is reserved >r the urpose. Hi pa pers and documents are .--Iso kept in scrupulous order by himself, so ' I that he can lay his hand on any one l of them at a moment’s notice. It is I to this habit of doing so much of his work himself that the mastery of detail, which Mr. Gladstone shows on every subject with which he grapples, is in a great measure . due. A Chicago man who found out that a drummer had been flirting i with his wife shaved oil' said drum mersear with a razor and carried the disserved member home as a present to the lady. Several valua ’ ble lessons may be learned from this little tranaction. A Provencal was making love to a beautiful woman, and finding her indifferent, said : “If 'you do not , love me I will tell all 1 knoy of the i crime you have committed.” “What Ido you mean?” asked the astonish ;ed woman. “I know you have as sassinated a gazelle to steal its eyes” Fifteen thousand handsome, large-sized photos of Gov. For.-i --; ker will be shipped to Chicago for , the convention. This is evidence > that John Sherman is again to be the Victim of his next friend. For i aker is to head the Sherman dele gation this year, as Garfield did i in 1880. _______________ I). Porter, son of cx-Gov, Porter, of Tennessee, was shot and killed at Paris, Tenn., last week by A. B. White, cashier of the Commercial I bank. Earlier in the evening Kcn i nedy Porter, another son of the ex governor's, shot Edmunds three times, wounding him seriously. The trouble was started by D. Por ter forbidding Edmunds to visit his sister. It is said that Fennimore Cooper became a, novelist through his wife’s challenge. One evening while reading a novel he threw it aside, saying: “I believe I could write a better book myself.” “Let me see you do it,” said his wife. In a few weeks he had written several chap i tors of “Precaution,” which he pnb ' lished at his own expense. It at ' traded little attention, but he con tinued and wrote “The Spy. ’ Haw thorn, too, it is said, was induced to write “The Scarlet Letter,’ by a remark of his wife. The Canadians have appropria ted solid chunks of cuteness from i the Yankees iri the matter of con i tracts and contracting. A short j time since the Dominion of Canada j awarded a contract for building a | bridge over the Fraser river on the - Canada Pacific road, to a Canadian contractor at $1,500,000. lie sub let the work to a Philadelphia con tractor for $100,900, who in turn let the job to another contractor j for $lO ),009, and heolet, it to anoth- ’ i er contractor for $75,009, at which ] figures the bridge was built. Four or five years ago Chas. A. I Thompson, of Hutchinson, Kan., ! left his employer and went to New : I Mexico. A few months afterward his parents died in lowa and left him $50,000. A guardian was ap point'd who tried to find the young, man whose twenty-first birthday: was on May 11, 1887. He had | about given up hope of finding him j , I when a few months ago a letter! | reached Hutchinson from young i Thompson. A detective was put I :on the track, and the heir was . j found loafing around the wharves! ■of San Francisco under an assumed . j name. Ile manifested little inter - i est in the fortune, and with diffi culty was persuaded to return to lowa and take posse.-sion of his property. The Republican press has been : pouring out the vials of their indig- j nation because Gen. W. T. Sher- ■ man, as he said, had not been invi-1 ted to take part in the memorial' ■ and de'- ’ration services in New i York over which Pres. Cleveland presided. Sherman asserted pos- ; itively that iie had not been invited. Later J. ( Limbeck produced and published a letter of Shirman's in which he acknowledged and de- i dined an invitation to the decora tion services. After this a reporter called on Sherman 10-explain, which he did by acknowledging that he had r -eived t.'ie invitation, but Ire ' i' gott :i t. This t-> dei’cy to forget streng'e'ens tlie I lief that: Sherman forgot who burned Col- ! umbia S. twenty-live years ago. 1 Wm. George was hanged for mur der at Columbus, 0., recently. A deliberate attempt was made recently to burn the town of Ander son, S. C. < The value of the output of but ter in Ireland is estimated at $30,- 000,000. Fourteen hundred bales of cotton were consumed by fire at Columbia S. C., last Friday. In a fight at Leesburg,Ga., recent ly Jerry Goodman killed Charley Williams with a knife. R. 11. Crowdry, of Chicago, is a candidate for president. He was nominated by the United Labor party. The majority of Nicholls, Demo crat, over Warmoth, Republican, for governor of Louisana was over 87,000. Baron Hirsch has deposited $lO,- 000,000 in the Bank of London for the education of the poor Jews of I, ussia. Oregan went Republican last week by 4,000 majority. The leg islature stands: Republicans, 66; Democrats, 24. Mrs. Robert Miligan, of Bridge port, Corn., is the mother of twen ty-live children, and is only forty eight years old. Os the 2,100 inmates of the New York Christian Home for intemper ate men during the past ten years, only five have died. Twenty-one suicides have taken place from Clifton suspension bridge, England, since its opening in Hecember, 1864. Judge Emory Speer, of the Uni ted States District Court of Geor gia, has decided that to steal a "bo- i gus” or decoy letter is not a crime. Tom Haughley, a workman on the C. R. & C. railroad at Rome, was fined $25 for selling a negro a ■ bottle of whisky in that city last week. John Hendricks, of Catawba, Ohio, Ims a lamb with threp per fectly developed ears—two on the sides and one on the top of the head. The deputy sheriff of Knox coun ty, Tenn., was killed recently while attempting to arrest a colored man. The murderer was arrested and lodged in jail. Daniel Jennings, of Lyons, N. 5 ~ has worked twenty-one years and spent $30,000 in endeavoring to I make a perpetual motion, and at . last Ims given up the job. Stephens Richardson, of Harvey j county, Kan., has planted three miles of peach trees in the public! highway for the benefit of travelers. ! Mr. Richardson is a clever man. The mention of Tilden’s name in the St. Louis convention last week elicited no applause. Yet in his I generation Tilden was the honored ! ; eader of the Democratic party. Yankee publisher who uses 'about 5,000,090 envelopes a year ha- gone to Germany to purchase ! 29.’“:ti.ii )0 envelopes with which he i proposes to crush the monopoly. Less than one half of the United Stat ’' senators now in office were born in the states which they rep resent This is proof that anyone ' can do best where they are least : known. Steps have been taken to dissem- ■ ! inate trustworthy information res pecting the South for the use < f [Northerners and a bureau for that purpose has been established, in New York. | A young lady in Mahoney- city, N. Y., refused to marry her lover, ’ Imt when he proved his d evotion by blowing her house up wit Ji dyna mite she wanted to marry him to keep him out of prison. Mrs. Greensdale went to New York from San Francisco, a year ago and opened up a bai bet si: >p. She was pretty and a g reat m; y . men liked her :o .] l( iye them NO. 19. But the wives of the patrons of the barber shop became jealous and boycotted Mrs. Greensdale, and broke up her business. The New York Herald has this answer to Blaine’s captious appeal against tariff reform : “The economic problem of free trade has no more to do with this campaign than the rings of Saturn or the po tato rot in Ireland. The situation is the easiest thing in the world to understand. We have a surplus of revenue. It is an injury in every way, a benefit in no way. The ex cess of cash in the treasury ought to be in the channels of trade. The government is financially topheavy. There is too much blood in its head and it is therefore in danger of ap oplexy. The object of the Mills bill, for example, is to drive the blood from the head, which doesn’t need it, into the lungs, which do need it. Then you have an equilibrium, and that means health. Is there any’ free trade in this proposition, or any protection? Nonsense, man I It is only the application of busi ness principles to national affairs ” It is said that during the last Presidential crisis in France rt news paper correspondent at Rennes wrote regularly to his newspaper. Every time the “political police - ' opened his letters. After a while he tried the plan of registering his letters. “Enclosure of 100 francs” he wrote on the outside of one in order to insure privacy for it with out, of course, putting the money inside. The letter arrived safely; none of the seals were broken, bub neatly inclosed lay a postal order for 100 francs. 'The clever officers who had intercepted the letter thought that on opening it they had lost the inclosure and substituted another, hoping thereby to escape unpleasant investigation. Postmaster Pearson, of New York recently received the following let ter from Garaccos, Venezula: “Wishing to marry an American young lady, pretty and honest, from fifteen to twenty-five years of age, and with about $25,000 t0550,- 000 more or less, I ask you for such information as will enable me to form an acquaintance of one answering the above discription.” The postmaster answered that he was not conducting a matrimonial bureau. The recent Democratic conven tion of Texas committed the Dem ocracy squarely against prohibition declaring that "the Democracy of Texas deprecate and will oppose anv movement looking to the re- I opening, for further agitation, the question of State prohibition.” Tex as if the first and only Southern state to declare for or against pro hibition in either a Democratic or Republican convention. The last vestige of the famous ; cattle trail from Texas to the north will soon be wiped out. The trail ! was 600 miles long aud one mile wide and has always been left un molested for t.h<‘ use of cattlemen. Hundreds of thousands of cattle have been driven along it, but rail roads have rendered it useless, and it is now to be thrown open for settlement. Mrs. Jackson hss consented to the removal of the lemains of her hus band, Gen. “Stonewall 'Jackson, to the “Jacksrn Circle” in the cemete ry at Lexington, Ya., about 100 feet from their present resting place. The proposed Jackson monument is to be erected on this circle. Ihe old soldier's remains are in a cast iron coffin. Extreme'sufferingand destitution ! exists in the Lehigh valley region :in Pennsylvania as the result of ’ strikes. Appeals have been made by , committees which say that unless i help is speedily furnished deaths from starvation is nearly certain to i ensue. The steamer Etruria last week i! made the fastest trans-Atlantic voy - age on record, making the trip in >! less than six days. One day her run was 503 miles. This is nearly equal to railroad travel. r A torn, ido that left bugs an inch i. deep ove- r the fc.ce of the earth re . ci t.ly j .assed near Ninety-six in Sc ■ j C irolina. The bugs were dead.
