past.
—LaGrange Reporter: Corn has
been badly injured by the drouth.
Taking the county as a whole, we
doubt not that the crop has been out
off fully one-third. Cotton has been
injured nearly, if not quite, as much
as corn. Even the sweet potato vines
in many places are burning up. It is
impossible for any one who has not
examined, to conceive what an effect
the scorching weather lias had. We
have reason to believe that the neigh
boring counties are in a condition
similar to that of Troop.

THE DAILY TIMES.
DEATH I’ll (Ml MtkHPHINE.
HR. D. W. PARK, OF PERRY. GA., TAKES
MORPHINE FOR QUININE.
Special to tho Time* by S. A A. Lino.)
Perry, Ga., July so. A deep gloom
fell upon our community Thursday
on hearing a rumor that Mr. D. W.
Purr had taken a large dose of mor
phine for quinine by mistake, and
that he was lying at the point ol
death. About ti o'clock on Thursday
morning Mr. Farr mentioned to hit
wife that lie was feeling badly and
must, take some quinine. On the
mantel was a viol of quinine and an
eight-ounce sixty-grain vial of mor
phine. He took two large spoonfuls
or some twenty grains of what lie
supposed was quinine, and at his
wife’s request made two pills of ten
grains for her. He then laid down
and fell asleep, nothing occurring to
excite the suspicion of liis family till
about in a. M., when his laborious
breathing caused alarm and physi
cians were sent for. On arrival they
found tlie patient entirely uncon
scious, his respiration very heavy,
and pulse only about eight to the
minute, and his face of a deep purple
hue. All known remedies were at
once resorted to, and tiy,' treatment
kept up all day and night. At 12
o’clock Mrs. Parr intended to take
the pills, and had not their character
been made known, she, too, would
most probably have been a victim of
tho terrible mistake. In the after
noon the patient appeared greatly
strengthened and his breathing was
much better. He was naturally of a
strong 'constitution, and lute Thurs
day evening there was hope that his
system would successfully wear out
the effects of ihe fatal drug.
Mr. Parr died to-day at half-past 7
a. m., and was buried this afternoon.

New York, July 30.—A dispatch
from Norfolk, Va., says Major-Gen
eral E. Pickett, Confederate hero of
Gettysburg, liesatthe point of death.

live many hours.
Circuit.
Grunt is unquestionably the most
inordinately and barely selfish man
who lias ever occupied the Presiden
tial chair in the United States. This
is proved oy bis many displays of self
ish propensities since he came prom
inently before the public. His sharp
practice in his real estate transaction
with Bowen ; his unscrupulous sur
port and eager approval of the salary
steal by which his compensation was
doubled ;his whining complaint in Ilia
letter to General Harry White iff tlie
saerllces lie made in accepting tho
presidency are only some of tho more
prominent, illustrations of one of his
chief traits of character. A worse
truit even than his selfishness is the
obstinacy with which ho dings to and
sustains men to whom be is attached
by friendly and political ties so long us
tiiey bow admiringly before him and
acknowledge his pre-eminence. This
personal devotion would be an ad
mirable quality were it only exer
cised upon worthy objects and were
it only called forth by the personal
merit of tho recipient. But when we
see it most manifested in the eases of
such men as Casey, Packard, “Boss”
Shepherd, Landaulet, Williams, Tom
Murphy, Orville Grant, Ben Butler,
Bheatsand others of that stamp, we
cannot but fool that it is the very re
verse of admirable. Patriot Free

and Maps.
! The work originally published under tho title
of The New American Cyclopa'.iua was com
pleted in 1863, since which time the wide circula
tion which it has attained in all parts of the
United States, and the signal developments which
have taken place in every branch of science, lit
erature and art, have induced the editors and
publisher* to submit it to an exact and thorough
revision, und to issue anew edition entitled The
AMElllCAN CYCLOPXDIA.
Within the last ten years the progress of dis
covery in every department or knowledge has
mad*' a now work of reference an imperative
want.
The movement of political affairs has kept pace
with tho discoveries of science, and their Irulttu
application to the industrial aud useful arts and
tho convenience aud refinement of social Ufe.
Great ware and consequent revolutions have oc*
ourred, involving national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil war of our own country,
which was at its height when the last volume ol
the old work appeared, has happily been ended,
and anew course of commercial and industrial
activity has been commenced.

edge havo been made by the indefatigable ex
plorers of Africa.
The great political revolutions of the last de
cade. with the uatural result of the lapse of time,
have brought into public view a multitude til new
men. whose nanus are in every one’* mouth, aud
of whose lives every one is curious to kuow the.
particulars. Great battles have been fought aud
important sieges maintained, of which the de
tails are as yet preserved only in the newspapers
or in the transient publications of the day, but
which ought now to take their place in perma
nent and authentic history.
lu preparing tho present edition for the press,
it haa accordingly been the aim ol the editors to
bring down the information to the latest possi
ble dates, aud to furnish an accurate account of
the most recent discoveries in science, of every
•fresh production in literature, and. of the newest
inventions in the practical arts, as well as to give
! a succinct aud original record of tlie progress of
political and historical events.
Tlie work has been begun after long and care
ful preliminary labor, and with the most ample
resources lor carrying it on to a successful term
ination.
None of the original stcrootypo plates havo
been used, but every page ha* been printed on
new type, forming in tact a now Cyclopaedia, with
the same plan and compass us its predecessor,
but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure,
and with such improvements lu its composition
as havo been suggested by longer experience aud
enlarged knowledge.
Tho illustrations which aro introduced for the
first time in the preseut edition have been added
not for thi> sake of pictorial effect, but to give
greater lucidity aud force to the explanations in
the text. Tiiey embrace all branches of science
and of natural history, and depict the most
famous aud remarkable features of scenery,
architecture and art, as well as tho various pro
cesses of mechanics and manufactures.
Although intended for instruction rather than
embclishnu'iit, no pains have been spared to in
sure their urtistic excellence; the cost of their
execution is enormous, aud it is believed they
will find a welcome reception as an admirable
feature of tho Cyclopaedia, and worthy of its
i high character.
! This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable
lon delivery of each volume. It will ho completed
j in sixteen largo octavo volumes, each containing
. about 800 pages, fully illustrated with several

Jordan's Joyous Julep.
A Specific for Neuralgia.
TESTIMONIALS.
PiCTKBMHuno, Va., Juii. 20th, 1875.
John L. Jordan, Esq.—Dear Sir: Ho well pleased
am I with your Joyous Julep, that I hereby tes
tify to tho superior merit of yonr unequaled
preparation for Neuralgia. I shall esteem my
self happy should even one of that worst of all
classes of sufferer* be led through mo to tuko the
Julep. My wife ha* for ten (10) year* boon a mar
tyr to the most malignant and persistent neural
gic torture, without being able to find any relief
except from your preparation. She was relieved
by the second dose as per directions, and has not
had a return of it for two mouths. To some I
may seem strangely sanguine about your rnedi
cine, but I have a right to lie so. It is not rea
sonable to suppose this malignant malady would
have died of sheer exhaustion of capacity for
sustaining itself, and that too in a minute, aud
the very ininuto your medicine was taken. If so,
it is a most remarkable, simple coincidence, and
I prefer giving the credit in your favor of the
best testimony man can ever have—experience.
Vary truly yours,
JAMES T. TOSH. I
Columbus, January 16, 1876.
Hr.Jordan: —l take great pleasure in recom
mending your Joyous Julep for neuralgia,
has produced a most wonderful relief in one oj
the severest attacks of neuralgia my daughter
ever has bad. She has been treated for it by
three skillful physicians, with very little benefit,
and used all the usual remedies with little suc
cess. I can with much confidence hope for a per
manent cure. It is only two days since wo began
tho use of it. and it is apparently of permanent
benefit. Y*ura, with respect,
MRS. L. I. NORMAN.

MALARIA!
Read, Reflect and Act.
If one grain of Vaccine Virus, taken from tho
cow's udder and kept dry for years, then mois
tened. aud the keenest point of a Lancet dipped
iu It aud drawu gently ou the arm, so as uot to
draw the blood, will so Impregnate and change
the entire system as to prevent the party bo vac
cinated from taking the most loathsome of dis
eases (small pox) for au entire life; again, if the
•Celebrated Eucalyptus tree will change an uuiu
habitable malarial district into a healthy, salu
brious clime, by simply absorbing from the at
mosphere the poisou malaria, why will not the
proper remedy, properly applied, neutralize.and
destroy the poison, kuown as malaria, and thus
enable parties to inhabit malarial districts with
impunity?
We claim that there is such a remedy, and that
we have prepared it, and applied it, aud prpvcd
it in our Anti-malarial or Euchymia) Belt—and
that persons who will wear this Bolt may inhabit
tlie worst malarial districts without the fear ol
having any diseases arising from malaria; such us
Chills aud Fever, Billions or Intermittent Fever.
Yellow Fever, Jaundice, Enlarged Liver aud
Spleen, ludigestiou, Constipation aud Hem
orrhoids, and that it will cure all the above dis
eases, except tho worst coses of Billious aud Yel
low Fever.
This is called an Anti-nialarial or Euchymial
Belt, as it corrects the humors of tl aud
produces a healthy action, invigorating the sys
tem, and thus enabling it to per orm its various
duties without fearing the effects of malaria in
the least .
It has been tried iti thousands of cases without
a failure.
They can be obtained Irom the proprietors in
any quantity at the Powell Building, junction ot
Broad aud Peachtree streets, Atlanta, Ga.

Messrs. Love a Willson: Gentlemen—ln April
last 1 wuh taken sick with regular Fever aud
Ague, having it every alternate day. After it had
run on mo for two weeks, I was induced to try
one of your Anti-malarial belts; so I discarded ail
medicine, aud simply wore one of your Belts, as
directed, aud my Ague became lighter each suc
i cHHive time thereafter for some three or four
times, when it left me entirely, with a good appe
tite and clear skin; and in future, il I should ever
have a Chill or Ague.l would want one of your Pads,
and no physic. Wishing everybody that may be
so unfortunate a* to have Chills and Fever may
be fortunate enough to get one of your llelta,

Ou the first day of December last I was taken

eminent physicians who were able to stop it only
fur a few days at a time. It made such inroads
on my constitution that my physician pronoun
ced me to be in the first stages of consumption,
wh en I accidentally met up with Drs. Love ti Will
son’s Anti-malarial Belt, which has entirely cured
mo. I have had but one chill since, and that was
tho first day after putting it on. lam now in as
good health as I ever was iu my lile, and think

Willson’s Anti-malarial Belt some three months
ago. I have worn it continually, and have had no

lias been poor, much improved. I would recom
