He is a keen ob servant of man kind, of life and of things He is seventy-four years of age and still in the hey day of his power.’’ If a Chinaman, usually regarded by us as a barbarian, can live to a healthy, hale old age, why cannot Americans, with their more advanced civilization, do the same? The reporters discovered during Li Hung Chang’s stay in this country, that he took every thought for his health He lived upon the simplest of diets and never passed a day without consulting his physician He limited his toil to a reasonable number of hours, and would not deviate from his rule in this matter. American men follow just the opposite practice. They work to the limit of endurance, will not even take the proper time for eating, resting and sleeping. a(|d never think of their health until it is girtie. There is a wonderful med icine for hard ■ working men. It is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Aledical Discovery. It takes the place oF a physician. It keejis away ill-health and restores health when it is lost. It is the great appetite sharpener, blood-maker and slosh builder. It makes the digestion perfect, the liver active and the blood pure and rich. Medicine dealers sell it. ■ My husband had been a robust young man." writes Mrs M. ]. Tedder, of Ellington. Reynolds Co., Mo. “ When he was 31 vears old he began to cough very hard. He had pains through his chest and lungs. His mother and the rest of his family had died with consumption He con tinned to cough every winter, until in 1883 he had an attack of pneumonia. His cough grew worse and worse. He would vomit immediately after his meals. In 1888 he coughed night and day. He was getting very weak and nad no appetite. He commenced Dr Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and Pleasant Pellets.' He improved. His appetite got better. When he had taken seven bottles he looked like a new man and felt like a new person. He weighs more than he ever weighed before. He gained twenty eigiit pounds and is cured.” were mistaken. When the officers with their rpisener reached Hill street, just •yposite the Baptist church, the nob, which had swelled to st least 500 determined and heavily a m»d men, leveled th<*ir weapons on them and demanded the pris oner. Resistance was useless, but Of ficer Connor begged the crowd to allok him to proceed to the jail xnd Ist the law take its course Before he ceased speaking both he and Officer Fiynt were pulled out ot the buggy, their places were taken by two of the most fearlees the mob and am'd triumphant ehoute the party hastily left ti e city.

After placing the rope around Meadow’s neck he confessed tn the crime and his body was pulled up several feet from the ground and completely riddled with bullets. After making sure their work was well done the crowd quietly left the scone and returned to their homes, but ready and willing to assemble again and as often as black fiends commit that greates' of crimes. This makes ihe third lynching to cccur i.i Griffin within the last two years and each time the crime was c immitted in some other c un ty than Spalding and parlies w’ho took the law in their hands were principally friends and neighbors ot the innocent victims to the lusi of black brute*.

A volley us 100 shots fired into the swinging body. The negroes are excited and sullen, claiming O'g was innocent.
