The place of torment to which nil wicked Buddhists nro to bo assigned on the day of final reckoning is, pro viding such a thing bo possible, u more terrible place of punishment than the Christian hell is supposed to be. This Buddhistic hell is a sort of apartment house, divided into eight “easy stages.” In the first tho poor victim is compelled to walk for untold ages in his hare feet over hills thiokly set with redhot noodles, points upward. In the sec ond stag o the skin is all carofully filed or rasped from the body and ir ritating mixtures applied. In the third stage the nails, hair and eyes aro plucked out and tho denuded body sawed and planed into all sorts of fantastic shapes. Tho fourth stage is that of “sorrowful lamenta tions.” In tho fifth the left side of the body and the denuded head are carefully roasted, Yoma, the Bud dhistic satan, superintending the work. In tho sixth stage tho arms are torn from the body and thrown into an immense vat among tho eyes, nails and hair previously removed. Then, in plain hearing of the sore footed, blind, maimed, roasted and bleeding victim, tho whole horrid mass is pounded into a jelly. In the seventh stage the other sido of the viotim and his feet are roasted brown, and then comes tho eighth and last stage, in which the candi date is thrown into the bottomless • it of perdition.—St. Louis ltepublio.

POOR DIGESTION leads to nervousness, chronic dyspepsia and great misery. The best remedy is HOOD’S SARSAPARILLA. SUMMERVILLE, CHATTOOGA COUNTY, GEORGIA. F 8.UUY26,1896 Helplessly Drunk in the House. Washington, Jan. 15. —One of the pleasing diversions of the de bate yesterday was M. W. Howard representative fn congress from Alabama, the self-confessed author of that vile mess of lies, filth and slander entitled “If Christ Came to Congress.” He staggered into the house yes terday morning hopelessly drunk. After annoying members for per haps half an hour he fell on one of the leather couches just back of the democratic side of the house, where in plain view of the galleries filled with ladies, he slept the sound, snoring sleep known only to drunken men. Finally the sight became so ob noxious that two house employes, one carrying the head and the oth er the feet of the distinguished author, removed him from the house. This was just prior to the vote on the silver substitute, and the man who wrote his book, charging corruption and vile scandal on all of his present colleagues to aid os tensibly the cause of free silver, was unable through sheer drunk ness to cast his vote. “It wasn’t a Missouri editor, but a Missouri printer’s devil who was going through his first experiences of ‘making up forms.’ The paper was late, and the boy got his gal leys mixed,” says the Huntsville Argus. “The first part of an obit uary of an impecunious citizen had been dumped in the forms and the next handful of type came from a ga'ley describing a recent recent fire. It read like this : ‘The pall bearers lowered the body to the grave, and was consigned to the flames. There were few, if any regrets for the old wreck had been an eyesore to the town for years. Os course there was individual loss but that was covered by insur ance.’ The widow thinks the edi tor wrote the obituary that way because the lamented partner of her joys and sorrows owed him five years’ subscription.” PECULIAR in combination, pro* portion and preparation of ingredi ents, Hood’s Sarsaparilla possesses great curative value.

One of General Lee—He Would Give a Salute. “B’ contributed. the following to The Warrenton Virginian: In 1865 when General Lee re turned from the disastrous Gettys burg campaign, his army, in cross ing the Shenandoah river, had to use their pontoon bridge. This was quite a curiosity to some of the citizens. Air. William Buck was watching cross and approach ed a group of offief rs on the ground. One of them was asleep, and Air. Buck’s horse commenced to nip the grass and in doing so touched the officer with his nose. He a woke, and recognizing Air. Buck said : “Let me introduce you to General Lee.” After the introduc tion the general and staff mounted their horses to resume their jour ney, Air. Buck said: “General, if you will allow me I will take you by a near way to Front Royal, by which you would avoid the duat.” General Lee thanked him and said he would gladly avail himself of the offer. They pro ceeded to the top of the high hill between Front Royal and Riverton when a magnificent scene met their view. From the foot of Guard Hill on the north, to the entrance of Chester’s Gap, a distance of three miles, the army was march ing. Gen. Lee reined his horse, and glancing at the army, exclaim ed: “Oh! war, horrible war!” Approaching the home of A T r. Buck the latter invited the general and staff to stop and partake of some buttermilk, which they did. The Mieses Buck went to the piano and played a popular war song, known as the “Southern Chant of Defi ance,” and when they reached the verse, “You can never win us back—nev er, never, Though we perish in the track of our endeavor.” Geneiul Lee c -mmenced to bow his head, as if he approved the sentiment. He then, at the re quest of the ladies, wrote his auto graph in their albums and proceed on his way. In one of the western campaigns General Earl Van Dorn rode to one of his outposts to see if his pickets were doing their duty. He was astonished to see odo of the pickets seated upon the ground with his musket ali to pieces in vestigating its workings The fol lowing dialogue took place: ‘•What are you doing with that gun all to pieces,” said the genera). “None of your business,” said the man. “Do you know who you are talk ing to?” said the general. “No; nor I don’t care.” “Well, lam General Van Dorn and you should present arms and salute.” Well, general. lam Bill Simp kins; and if you’ll just w*it till I 6crew this old fusee together I will give you the durudest salute you ever saw.” The general rode on and left the man, doubtless impressed with the idea that this man’s bump of rev erence was undeveloped. During General Joe Johnston’s retreat up the peninsula it rained incessantly. It was with the great est difficulty that the officers could keep their men iu line and prevent straggling. General Whiting rode up to a man in the rear of the di vision, who was wading in the mud a half-leg deep, aud said : “Go on my man, and catch up with your company, and don’t mind a little mud.” “Call this a little mud?” said the man; “if you do just get down off that horse and try it a while.” “Look here man do you know who you are talking to? I am General Whiting.” The soldier looked at him in a comical way aud said: “Do you think I don’t know General Whiting from a long nosed courier?” The general had pressing business about this time at the head of his line. Ninety per cent of ali the people need to ta ,r e a course of Hood s Sarsaparilla at this season to pre vent that run-down conditi-m of the system which invites disease. Broke up the Meeting. A church congregation down in Sanders, Ky., was dismissed most summarily under unpleasant cir cumstance two Sundays since. Right in the middle of the preach er’s discourse there bolted into the ! church through the half-open door what appeared to be a black and ! white cat, closely followed by a yellow dog. Cat and dog ran swift ly down the middle aisle to the platform. The preacher, taken unawares, did the natural thing, kicked at the cat, hit it, and it landed squarely in the middle of the congregation. Then it turned out that the cat was a skunk.— Chicago Tribune. The little daughter of Mr Fred Webber, Holland, Mass ,had a very bad cold and cough which he had not been able to cure with any thing.

Os 3,880 con victs in the state penitentiary of Texas, there is not a printer or newspaper man, while there are ministers, doctors, bankers, barbers photographers, barkeepers, cooks and members of professions and callings. The printer gets a bad name because the nature of his business teaches him to detest •hams and he scorns the hypocrite. Four Big Successes.

Bridges, of Rome, In Serious Trouble. Rev. W. M. Bridges, county I school commissioner of Floyd county, who is behind in his ac counts $5,000 or more, skipped the town Monday night of last week. For some time irregularities in his accounts have been charged, but we r e said to be due to clerical er rors. The last grand jury reported that his books were in a confused state and last week tho board of education appointed a special com mittee to look into tho affairs of his office. He and his friends con tended that his accounts would be shown to be all right and the in vestigation proceeded until last Saturday, when discoveries w r ere made that caused his suspension. This was not made public until Tuesday, after it was generally known that he had skipped. Telegrams were sont to Chatta nooga, Memphis and other points. Chief Hill, of Chattanooga, found that such a man had inquired af ter points in Texas and departed for Memphis. When the train reached Mem phis Bridges stopped into the hands of an officer. A Rome offi cer w»s sent to Memphis to bring him back. Bridges will return without re quisition. It is found that his home is mortgaged for three or four times what it would bring, and his affairs seem badly involv ed. He is rather prominent in the county politics of Floyd. Bridges gave mortgages Monday to R. G. Clark, Rome Discount company and J. J. Black covering his real estate and all his house hold furniture. These mortgages amount to $2,500. He was under bond to the amount of SIO,OOO. His bondsmen are John Vandiver, E. P. Price, G. H. Bray ton, C. T. Clements and the Foster estate. Rev. W. M.
