2 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.

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.

I ' Don’t Believe It.” r I 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 action, seem to be preferred by nearly all purchasers, and they* are certainly the finest and most perfect Instruments that it is pos sible to construct.

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. FOR SALE BY OSCEOLA BUTLER, P SAVANNAH, GEORGIA. HEALTH!
