Street Cars in Mexico.
Philadelphia Press,
When one gets accustomed to it there is
no difficulty about finding his way around,
particularly as the street cars go about
everywhere, and hack hire is very cheap.
The street cars are run in trains in Mexico.
Instead of leaving the terminus one car each
ten minutes, three cars are sent together
every half hour. This is not a measure of
economy, for each car has two mul s at
tached, and although they are never more
than half a block apart, there are always
two conductors besides the driver. One con
ductor takes the money and gives you a
ticket, and the other comes around, punches
it in the presence of the passengers and puts
it in his pocket. They are supposed to be a
check upon each other. The street ctr
drivers always carry a horn and blow it
as they approach a street-crossing, so that
there is a perpetual tooting going on. The
conductors usually carry revolvers. I don’t
know why, except that it is the fashion, for
a Mexican would as soon go out of doors
without his hat as without his revolver. He
doesn’t feel dressed. You see revolvers at
the opera, at the cathedral", and when a
Mexican calls upon you there is usually a
glistening nickel-plated pistol stickingout
from under his coat-tail. At the circus the
other night every man but one on the row
•in front of me had a revolver in his belt.
An Enormous Child.
Liverpool (Eng.) Post.
There is in the little quiet village of
Muchalls, about seven miles from Aberdeen,
a child whose extraordinary proportions
have created the utmost astonishment
among all those who have seen him. His
size is so enormous that if he continues to
develop as at present he bids fair to outstrip
the celebrated Daniel Lambert himself.
This young leviathan is only six years old,
yet he turns the scales at the almost in
credible weight o’ 206 pounds. His height
is 4 feet 5 inches; circumference of bare
chest 50 inches, and circumference of thigh
38 inch is. Muchalls is proud of its prodigy,
and he passes among the villagers by the
name of the “Infant jumbo.” This giant in
embryo has excited great interest through
out the north of Scotland, and to a certain
extent has made the village of Muchalls
famous for its “Infant.” It is a matter of
frequent occurrence to see numbers of
tourists set down at this out of the way
station for the express purpose of “inter
viewing” him. Throughout the summer
months he is to be seen in the main street
of his native village basking in the sun and
turning occasionally to play with his little
brothers and sisters, a veritable Gulliver
among the Lilliputians. The father is a
small contractor, and being in comfortable
circumstances has hitherto turned a deaf
ear to the tempting oilers of showmen.
She Started Him.
It was late and she had been yawning for
half an hour, but he did not take the hint.
“I see,” he said, “that Tennyson in his
drama speaks of men as God’s trees and
women as God’s flowers. It is natural that
he should compare wrnie i to flowers, but I
Cannot see why he should compare men to
‘trees.”
“I can,” she said.
‘You can?’
“Yes ; this is winter, ain’t it?”
“It is.”
“Well,” she said, with another yawn, as
she glanced toward the deck, “the reason
he compared men to trees is that trees don’t
.leave till spring.”
He was on his way home a minute later.

She Got the Ear.
Chicago News.
“Lend me your ear a minute,” remarked
Mrs. Brown to her husband the other even
ing.
“Will you give it back to me ?” he in
quired, with mock anxiety.
“Os course I will, yeti idiot! Do you
.suppose I want to start a tannery?”
She got the ear.
The Noblest Woman He Ever Saw.
Joaquin Miller writes that he has found
in New Orleans the noblest woman he ever
saw, and he professes to have “seen the
world well.” She was born to wealth, re
ceived a careful invitation, traveled exten
sively in Europe, and at length became
poor. She now keeps a little shoe store and
works with her father and sister at making
the stock.

The best evidence in the world of the
purity and excellence of Blackwell’s Bull
Durham Smoking Tobacco is found in the
fact that the fame of this tobacco increasea
from year to year. This could not be the
case if it were merely “ gotten up to Bell,”
or had any dubious or dangerous ingre
dients in it Among millions of users of
all nationalities, surely some one would
find out if it were impure, injurious or
unpalatable. For 18 years this tobacco has

One halt the public never read an adver
tisement, and those who do don’t believe
half thatadvertisers say. No wonder, eiiher,
for gross exaggeration and misrepresenta
tion is now the rule, and square matter of
fact statementsare seldom seenln modern ad;
vertlsements. This is unfortunate for legiti
mate advertisers. Thus, when we advertised
the purchase of 850,000 worth of CHICK ER
ING PIANOS, in October last, it was said to
be “Only an Advertisement,” and hence not
true. But all the same IT WAS TRUE. We
find, that in advertising the square truth
answers our purpose best of all, and when we
make a statement we mean it to be a true
one. To those who do not know the magni
tude of our trade or the immense popularity
of the CHICKERING PIANOS, it may seem
improbable that we should buy* 850,000 worth
I at one purchase, but, “facts are stubborn
things,” and in this case they are all on our
side. We can’t show the Pianos, for eager
buyers have appropriated fully one-third of
- them, but we can show the contract with
CHICKERING & SONS, and the invoices,
which certainly is evidence indisputable. Os
course, all these Pianos did not come to Sa
vannah. We are Southern Wholesale Agents
for the CHICKERING PIANOS with exclu
sive control of Five States and our Eleven
Branch Houses and countless Agencies took
a large number of these Pianos.
Large shipments have been made to Savan
nah, and we expect to sell about FIFTY
direct from our warerooms. Many of our
leading citizens have taken advantage of this
Special Sale, and given us the pleasure of
placing these magnificent Instruments in
their homes. We have now in our ware
rooms a full line of SQUARES, SQUARE
GRANDS, UPRIGHT AND CONCERT
GRANDS, which we offer at Factory prices
I for Cash, or on our easy Installment Terms.
The UPRIGHTS with the new metallic

sible to construct. We ask Pianists and Con

GULLIBILITY.
* The wild phantoms and shrieking cries of a worth
less humbug can make money by imposing upon the
credulity and ignorance of an honest public, and the
supply of this species of work seems more than an
adequate demand.
The enunciation of facts —facts that have stood
crucial tests —facts proven by brain force and tangi-
I ble evidence, should satisfy all laudable enterprises;
F but the excrable habit of teaching false ideas and
doctrines for self aggrandizement is truly reprehensi
ble, and should be scorned by all classes.
When we tell the public that B. B. 8., the great
Blood Poison Remedy, contains lodide of Potash as
one of its ingredients, and when we, as old members
of the medical profession, say that lodide of Potash is
not a poison, we think it very presumptive for men
I outside of the profession to assert that it is a poison.
The facts do not warrant such a conclusion, and if
I those who make the assertion that Potash is a poison
do not know better, they are a set of unenviable ig
noramuses.
As a solid foundation of heavy masonry has been
built for B. B. 8., upon which it is now proudly
perched—the broken arches and fallen columns of
brazen humbugs will soon be in search of fresh
i ‘cock and bull” ttories and jmore printers’ ink, but
| merit cannot be downed. Although B. B. B is only
one year old, yet its effect —its magical and peerless
power over all blood, skin and kidney diseases, has
been indelibly enstamped upon the tablets of the
memory of thousands here at home, who have been
cured after having used hundreds of bottles of other
remedies.
Compared toother remedies, B. B. B. is the radient
i sunbeam of midday, flinging its glittering glare to
saddened hearts, while others are pale moonbeams,
pushing along through misty meshes of darkness, in
search of something they can cure.
It cures Blood Diseases and Poisons, Catarr v , Cid
Ulcers, Scrofula, Rheumatism, Skin Diseases, Kidney
> troubles, etc., and we hold a 32-page book full of evi
dence—Atlanta evidence —that cannot be doubted,
proving all we claim. Our certificates are not phan
tasmagorical, nor far-fetched, but are voluntaiy out
bursts of men and women of Atlanta.
