Miss Emma Rjbolt, a prepossessing school girl of Milford, Iod , is of more than usual intelligence, and is ambitiuus to rise in the literary world. "In the fall of 189G,"' said Mrs. Rjbolt, "Emma was taken ill. She was a close student and her vroik began to tell on her. She grew weak, pale ard ueivcus, end complained of pains in her back, chest and limbs. A few weeks passed and she grew worse. The doctor said she was a victim of nervou3 prostration, and should have been taken from school weeks earlier. She gradually grew worse, her nerves were so tense that t' e least noise irritated her and she had a fever and a continual twitckiug in her muscles. The symptoms were much like St. Vitus* HER BATTLE. "A year passed, and, under a change of physicians, Emma became somewhat better but soon was as bad as ever. One day I read of a case similar to hers whit-h was cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and I decided to try them. "Emma had no faith in proprietary medicines but tried the pills, and after taking a dozen doses, she began to improve. It was about the first of April when she began and by the middle of May, after taking about eight boxes, she was entirely cured. "While ill, she lost twenty eight pounds, but now weighs more than ever before. Her nerves are strong and she is in perfect health. We ! are all confident that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People cured her, and I cheerfully recommend them in | all similar cases. "Mrs. E. A. fybolt."

A few days ago, at F rth Adams, Mass, the chief constable seized a jrr of rum and arrested the party in whose possession it was found, for selling intoxicating liquors. At the examination before the district judge, herswore and testified that he had j seized the liquor, and made a detailed statement of the fact. Hon. Shepard Thayer, the attorney for the prisoner, asked him if be knew it was liquor. He replied tkYes, it was rum." He was then asked how he knew it was rum, and he replied, that he had drank some of it. The prisoner, who was a woman, was then called as a witness in her own behalf, when the | following questions were put and received: Q Did you have any liquor in your house when the state constable called there ? A. Yes, I had some rum in a jar. Q How long have you had it ? A. About six months. Q Did you have it to sell ? A. Oh! no. I don't sell liquor. Q What did you have this rum foi ? A. I kept it to wash the baby. Q. Had you ever washed the baby in this rum ? A. 0, yes, often! I used to turn out some in a dish, wash the baby in f, and then turn it back into the jar liiain. Q. Do you mean to say that this vas the same liquor of which the state constable drank? A. The very same. There was great laughter in tl e court, and the state constable de clared he would seize eo more liquor that was kept in a jar. He is about the only man in North Adams that will take offense if you ask him to take a drink. $100 Reward $100.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: It is a matter of encouragement that one citizen has spoken out in behalf of our persecuted little friends, the birds His voice should be heard and his appeal should be heeded in time for improvement. When intelligence is rife on such a multitude of subjects it is culpable and foolish for people to remain blind to their own interests?blind followers of blind leaders, into the ditch together. When God put man into dominion over all lower orders of creatures his power was to be used wisely and kindly, with not a shade of cruelty towards the smallest or weakest of his creatures. There can be no way for a person to raise above the spirit that animates him?and the cultivation of the spirit of kindness towards helpless creatures is always ennobling and confidence inspiring, and vice versa. When to that truth is added the fact that we all desire to be happy, and beautiful living birds contribute so largely to the fund of human happiness that the world would seem cheerless without their sweet chirp, soDg and twitter. What human being is ever sunk so low, become so hopeless and degraded that the liquid notes of a bird floating heavenward would not attract some passing thought or memory that speaks of a power divine. But financially speaking, the birds are the best friends and allies of the farmer and the gardener, and should always have legal protection. It was once said of a certain sporting king who i j -i p l \ f ooastea 01 me great, uumuerui uuuo he had killed, that every one of their lives were worth more than his. No doubt of it: for they were fulfilling their mission, and he was not. It is certain that God cares for the birds, for Jesus observed them carefully amid all his efforts in behalf of suffering humanity, and noting the small commercial value of a little sparrow he said, "one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father," and thus rendered them object lessons to teach God's overruling care of all his creatures. It is self evident that when God made the birds and clothed them in beauty, and tuned their voices to happy song he designed them a peaceful abode | among the children of men, and in; tended them to be useful allies: so I to live and bo happy is their God ; given privilege.

How general the use of photography is coming to be adopted by the modern magazine as a means of illustration is shown in the announcement of The Ladies' Home Journal that it is about to publish six new, distinct seiies of articles which will include not less than 400 photographs. The idea of the magazine is to present one hundred of the prettiest country homes in America, to encourage artistie architecture; one hundred of the prettiest gardens to encourage taste in floiiculture: seventy churches decorated for festal occasions of all kinds, such as wedi j dings, Christmas and Easter services, j etc.; some forty of the prettiest girls j rooms in this country? twenty-fly j floral porches and vine-clad houses; and the story of the native wild flowers in America, told in seventyfive photographs. Over 8000 photographers, in every part of the country, were employed by the magazine to get these pictures, and several thousands of dollars were paid in piize awards for the best photographs. The choice was nude cut ! of over 10,000 photographs received | by the magazine. The Lidies' Home I Journal, Philadelphia.

C : "We suggest that the whites guard their women mere closely, thus giv! ing no opportunity for the human fiend, be be white or black. You leave your goods out of doors, and then complain because they are taken away. "Poor white men are careless in the matter of protecting their women, especially on farm.'; they are careless of their conduct toward them, and our experience among the poor while people in the country teaches us that the women of that race are not any ; more particular in the matter of A cladestine meetings with colored men than are the white men with colored women. "Meeting-? of this kind go on for sometime until the woman's infatuation, or the man's boldness, brings attention to them, and the man is lynched. "Every negro lynched is called a 'big, buily black brute,' when in fact many of those who have thus been dealt with had white men for their fathers, and were not only not 'black' and 'burl}'; but were sufficiently attractive for white girls of culture and refinement to fall in love ? ii : 11 i ?

Then the latter took out his book and asked: "How much property do you possess^" "I am a rich man," answered the minister. The official quickly sharpened his pencil and asked intently: "Well, I what do you own?'' The pastor replied: "I am the possessor of a Saviour who earned for me life everlasting, and who has prepared a place for us in the Eternal City." "What else?" "Healthy and obedient children." "What else?" "A merry heart, which enables me to pass through life j nfully." "What else?" "That is all." reolied the minister. The official closed bis book, arose, j took bis bat, and said: ''You are indeed a rich man, sir, but . your property is Dot subject to taxation. i * The Bsst Plastsr.

Columbia Register 10 Capt. R. D. Senn died at 12 o'clock last night of bronchitis and kidney trouble at his home in this city after a short sickness. He was widely and well known in Columbia. Capt. Senn was born at Sandy Rud, Lexington county, in 1824, and removed from there to Columbia in 1843, where he has since made his home. For many years he was a member of the firm of Muller & Senn, which did a large business. In 1845 he married Miss Rachel Perrine, who, with three sons and four daughters, survive him. The funeral services took place Thursday morning at 11 o'clock at the WasbiDgton Street Methodist Church. "Winter Tourist Tickets to Southern Resorts.
