A good many people" will be surprised perhaps at Hie state ment of the number of negro soldiers jn the civil war. Speak ing of soldiers for Cuba, an old army officer reminds us that there were 166 regiments of colored soldiers during the war of the rebellion. There ought to be no trouble in getting sol diers for Cuba By the way, 20,- 000 of those colored soldiers of thirty live years ago died in the service of disease and wounds And they were on their own soil, and nearly all in the army dur ing the last eighteen months of the war . When the circus owned by Jesse Coxey, son of the comman der of the once famous Coxey’f army, became stranded in an Indiana town last week, the cele brated general put in an apjoa. ance to deliver a lecture on non interest bearing binds and good roads, under the circus tent and ’■or a price of admission. Gen C’oxey has been going around the country with a brass bail' 1 limself for the past month or so and a union of the tw r o circuset is feared. A shipment of ten million ounces of silver will soon be made by the government frem the Philad^lidiia to the San Francisc-v mint. A special train guarded by Federal soldiers and detectives is to be used and hereafter such bullion will be shipped by freight instead of express.

Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis covers’ is an almost unfailing cure if taken in the earlier stages of the disease. It will cure consumption and all allied dis eases, as bronchial, throat and nasal affec tions. It cures by going to first principles. A man’s body starves a long time before consumption attacks him. The tissues of his lungs starve for lack of sufficient nour ishment. They become inert and half dead and then ate attacked by the baccilli of consumption. The “Golden Medical Discovery ’’ restores the long lost appetite; it strengthens the weak stomach and cor rects the impaired digestion; it promotes the flow of digestive Juices and facilitates the assimilation of the life giving elements of the food into the blood. When the blood is pure and rich, old inert tissues are torn dowm, carried off and excreted, and new, healthy, muscular tissues replace them. It allays inflammation of the mu cous membranes, soothes the cough, fa cilitates expectoration, and deepens the breathing, supplying the system with a much needed stock of oxygen. It drives out all impurities and disease germs. Medicine dealers sell it. I "I was first taken nearly two years ago with choking and aching in my throat," writes Mrs I> Z. Moore, of Deining.

I could scarcely talk The doctors called the trouble bronchial affection. and said the larynx was badly affected. I was almost dead with consumption. My neighbors thought I would not live a month. I began taking Dr. Pierce s Golden Medical Discovery From the first. I commenced to improve and now have as good hcaXh as ever. I owe toy life to Dr. Pierce. *’ GEORGIA EDITORS.

DANGER IN SODA. Saßiqus Results Sometimes Fo low Its Excesslve Use Conmon soda is all right in its plice and indispensable in the llitchen for cooking and washing purposes, but it was never intended for a medicine, and people who use it as such will s»me day regret it. We refer to the common use of sod* to relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a habit which thousands of people practice al most daily, and one which is fraught with danger; moreover the soda only gives temporary relief *nd in the end the stom ach trouble gets worse and worse. The soda acts as a mechanical irritant to the walls of the stom ach an J bowels and cases are on record wheie it accumulated in the intestines, causing death by iufiamation or peritontis. Dr. Harlandson recommends as the safest and eurast cure for sour stomach (acid dyspepsia) an excellant preparation sold by druggists under the name of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets. These tablets are large 20 grain lozengers, very pleasant to taste and contain the natural acids, peptones and digestive elements essential to good digestion, and when taken after meals they di gest the food perfectly and promptly before it has had time to ferment, sour and poison the blood and nervous system. Dr. Wuerth states that he in variably uses Stuart’s Dyspep sia Tablets in all cases of stom ach trouble, but by promtly di gesting the fool they create a healthy app tite, increase flesh and strengthen the action of the heart and liver. They are not a cathartic, but intended only for stomach diseases and weakness and will be found reliable in any stomach trouble except cain cer of the stomach, All druggists sell Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets at 50c per package.

Captain General Blanco’s greatest difficulty in removing the ramaius of Christopher Co lumbus from Cuba may lie in the fact that they are not there. The remains were interred ip San Dominge in 1541. When San Domingo was ceded to France in 1795 it was stipulated that the bones of the great dis coverer should be taken to Cu ba, and this was supposedly done, but now the story is that workmen repairing the flooring of the Cathedral in San Domin go in 1877 found a casket con taining the bones of Columbus, those that were removed to Ha vana having been the remains of Christopher’s brother, Diago The Spanish officials not wish ing to acknowledge a mistake, hushed the matter up.
