Mr. Hoyne never denied his identity. "I dunno ef I come in the right place or not, but I was told fo' to see you," continued the relic, at the same time looking around the room. Then he handed the commissioner a slip of reprint, which read as follows : "Californiaraised in 1884 a bushel of wheat for every man, woman and child in the United States." The commissioner asked what of it. "Iz California pawt obdeUnited States?" "Yes." "Her owes 'legence to de gubment ?" "Yes." Then he pulled a gunny sack from under his coat. When unrolled it stretched across the room. He then counted on his fingers?

"Can't help that, sir," was the reply. "I'm giving more than I can afford to without taking on any new applications." " 'Zactly, boss?I presumeso. Boss, please give me your full name." "John Y.

If I were you I'd call 'em Washington and Jefferson."?Detroit Free. Press. She Was Convinced.?"Oh I can't sing," pleaded a young man who femininely wanted to be coaxed before gratifying his auditors. "Yes, you can. I've heard two or three of your friends say so," persisted a pretty girl to whom he had been talking. "No I can't," he repeated, getting up to go to the piano. "Yes, you can. Go on now and sing, please," she urged. He said he could not two or three times more, but he went ahead, and for half an hour his voice was the most prominent thing in the room. Then he came smiling back to the young lady. "Ah," she said, weA-ily, "thanks, you were quite right about the singing." His face clouded and he never spoke to tire girl again who agreed with him.?Merchant Traveler. j@""You see," he explained, "I have a little railroad back here in Wisconsin. That is, I have organized one, and secured the right of way across the two counties. I came down to Chicago to float out a little loan. I want a hundred thousand dollars." "I see." "Well, I've been here a week, and haven't accomplished anything." "Why ?" "Well, the best offer I've had yet was to furnish me the money at twenty-two per cent, interest, and charge me sixty per cent, commission for making the loan. What's left won't pay me for lying to the farmers."? Wall Street News. Benefit of a Classical Education.? "Captain," said a grocery-keeper, addressing a well-known gentleman, "do you remember that sack of flour you bought some time ago?" "Oh, yes; I remember it." "I suppose so, but I don't remember that you ever paid for it." "My dear sir, I am not responsible for your bad memory. I have remembered my part of it. Memory is a peculiar faculty, and is susceptible of great cultivation. Rome of the Grecians could reneat volumes of poetry. Well, good morn ing." " In Tiie Interim.?"You are doing nicely," said the doctor encouragingly to an old darkey patient. "I will call again to-morrow, and will leave you this prescription now to save you from pain in the interim." Then he went out. "Da's er 'scription dat de doctah lef," said the patient feebly to his wife, "an' I wan't yo' ter go to de drug sto' an' git it filled. Tell de drug sto' man dat its fo' my interim, an' be sho an' ax him ef I'se ter take it eternally, or jess rub it on the outside, an' ef so whar." Amicably Adjusted.?"Do you mean to call me a liar?" asked one rival railroad man, during a dispute they had on business. "No, Colonel, I don't mean to call you a liar. On the contrary, I say you are the only man in town who tells the truth all the time, but I'm offering a reward of $2o and a chromo to any other man who says he believes me when I say you never lie," was the response. "Well, I'm glad you took, it back," replied the other party, as the tiger-like look of ferocity faded out of his features. SSTSis and Tom were sitting in the drawing room, and she was getting sleepy. "What time is it?" she asked. He looked at the watch, and replied that it lacked five minutes of eleven; and just then being struck with an idea, he asked, "Why is my watch like you, my pet?" "I don't know." "Because it is very pretty," he replied. "And why is my watch like you?" she asked. "I don't know, I'm sure. Why is your watch like me, my dear!" Because it won't go," she replied, with a yawn. Then the young man went home. . Why People Stared.?Mrs. DeBangs? "Xo, John, I am not going to church with you." Mr. De Bangs?"Not going to church! Why, what's the matter!" "It does me no good at all. People stare i at me so I can't pay any attention to the | services." "Oh! come now, you must be mistaken, i Why, what is there about you to stare at?" "My old bonnet." She wore a new one the next Sunday. tfcirGot any cow bells?" "Yes; step this way." "Those are too small. Haven't you any larger?" "Xo, sir; the largest ones are all sold." Kusticus started off and got as far as the door when the clerk called after him: "Look here, stranger, take one ofj these small bells for your cow and you won't j have half the trouble in finding her, for i when you hear her bell you will always j know she can't be far off." The farmer bought the bell.? Texas Si/tings. Ridicule is very much stronger than i argument. Many a one who can't be overcome by argument can be made, as the Irishman said, "tostand prostrate before the victor" by a sharp turn of wit. "What I want," said a very pompous debater, "is i just a grain of common sense in this matter." "Well," retorted his opponent quick-1 ly, "it will require the effort of a special Providence to give it to you." A Connubial Retort.?They were hav- i ing a heated argument. Pie said : ^ "Stop your quarreling. People will think we are crazy." "Xo they won't, my dear," she replied. "They will think one of us is crazy." "Ah!" he responded, "there's your etro tism again."?J\W York Graphic' They had been quarreling! about his next summer clothes. She wanted to have his light suit cleaned up for 1885, and he wanted a heavier suit. "What's the use of fighting about this?" he said, finally. "I may be in thecemetery next summer." "I think," she replied, "you will need your sufnmer clothes wherever you may be." ataf A shoemaker, blind with an eye, complained that one of his lamps did not burn. A shopmate, who is a genuine son of the Emerald Isle, with astonishment exclaimed : "Faith, and what do you want with two lamps? Sure, ye haven't but one eye!" Slw and Jircsidc. Butter Making.?1The Wisconsin Dairyman's Association last year offered prizes for the best essay on butter-making, but the essays not to exceed 250 words. Competition was active, and many valuable little treatises was the result. The first prize was won by W. Curtis, of Fort Atkinson, and his easay reads as follows: Select cows rich in butter-making qualities. Pasture should be dry, free from slough holes, well seeded with different kinds of tame grasses, so that erood feed is assured. If timothy or clover, cut early and cure properly. "Feed corn, stalks, pumpkins, ensilage, and plenty of vegetables, in winter. Corn and oats, corn and bran, oil-meal in small quantities. Let i cows have only such water as you would I drink yourself/ Gentleness and cleanliness should be shown in managing cows. Brush the udder to free it from impurities. Milk in a clean barn, well ventilated, quickly, cheerfully and with clean hands and pail. Seldom change milkers. Strain milk while warm; submerge in water 48?. Open setting GO0. Skim at 12 hours; at 24 hours. Care must be exercised to ripen cream by frequentstirrings, keepingatGO0 until slightly sour. .Better have one cow less than be without a thermometer. Churns without inside fixtures. Lever butter worker. Keep sweet and clean. In Churning, stir cream thoroughly; temper to GO0; warm or cool water. Churn immediately when properly soured, slowly at first, with regular motion in 40to 60 minutes. When butter is formed in granules the size of wheat kernels, draw off the butter milk, wash with cold water and brine until no trace of butter is left. Farmers' Clubs.?Farmers' clubs are a great want. We have State and County Agricultural Societies, with annual fairs which are good so far as they go, but their meetings for discussion are generally but once a year, and these during fair week, when the attention is very much absorbed with Fair matters. We have agricultural papers enough, but the circulation in many of the farming communities is very limited. What is wanted is a farmers' club in every town or business center, where farmers come to market, or to get their supplies, that they may have opportunity for conference, for an hour or two, on some topic previously announced, and occasional exhibitions of fruits and vegetables, during the summer and fall. In this way, the best farmers, with their reading, experiments and methods, would be brought in close contact with those who are in the background, and the business of farming be made far more attractive and profitable. Our census statistics for the last thirty years show a steady drift of our population toward the cities and villages. These gain at the expense of agricultural communities. The school house and church in many of them are half emptied. There is no remedy for this decadence but in the gospel of husbandry, taught and illustrated by the farmers themselves, who should exhalt their own calling.?American Agriculturist. To Fatten a Lean Horse.?To render a lean horse quietly plump and pleasing to the eyes of the amateur, he is usually fed on half an allowance of hay, a few oats, and a large mash of boiled barley daily. To contribute to the good mellow coat, he may besides receive about a pound of linseed cake, aud should be kept in a rather warm stable. The dealer treats the poor horse preparing for sale much as the fanner does his feeding cattle. Exercise is restricted to the amount sufficient to maintain a fair appetite, and prevent thick legs and other evils so apt to follow from a disturbance in the balance between food and work. A horse thus kept for six or eight weeks will appear plump, but he has no condition for work, and if senselessly put to hard work will not only quickly lose the beef thus laid on, but will also probably fail from disease or lameness. With more sense and safety a lean horse in good health may he tolerably rapidly improved in appearance, and also in working condition, by liberal feeding and light work, and thus treated will be greatly more serviceable than if his beef and fat had been piled on him as if he had been a feed ox.?Farm and Home. 86?"The roots of grass, of fruit trees and of hoed crops, will go down for four or five feet in search of food if they have opportunity. They cannot thrive below the water line, which lies very near the bottom of the drain. If the drains are hut eighteen inches deep, that is about the limit of the pasture ground of roots. If the drains go down three feet the area of soil that will furnish food for the crops is nearly doubled. The cost of draining to that depth is but a little more since the ditch grows narrower as we go down. The cost of the tiles and the trouble of laying is the same, whether the ditch is eighteen inches or four feet in depth. But if the cost were doubled in making deep drains, it would be a "penny wise and pound foolish" piece of business to have the shallow drains, for the sake of saving the expense of the last half of the necessary digging. Tile draining is a permanent investment, and the tiles, if properly laid, will clear the soil of water three feet deep, as thoroughly as they will clear it eighteen inehesdeep. The difference in the results is great, and the cost is small. Keeping Plants Clear of Insects.? The same conditions of better weather and increased sunshine that help the pot plants to put on new vigor just now also favor the increase of insects upon them. The greatest trouble from these comes to those growers who fail to observe the "stitch in time saves nine." Let it always be taken lor granted that insects will certainly put in an appearance on the plants. Then do not wait until hundreds show up before commencing the fight. With eyes open look over the plants often and crush everyone that appears. Should they for any reason gain an advantage and before you know it be present in large numbers, take the plants to the sink or bath-tub and wash them with warm soapy water, afterward rinsing the plants with clear water. This is a good course to pursue once a week whether any insects are present or not. Faithfully followed up, and no green fly, spider or scale will ever be seen. Seedless Fruits.?Fruits of all kinds may be grown without seed by reversing the cion?rooting the top end of the cion. To do this you can bend cion or sprout down, and cover it with dirt, and after rooting, cut it loose and let the root end be up. Apples are grown without cores, peaches without seeds; grapes, cherries, plums, blackberries and every other kind of fruit, may be grown without seed by simply reveling the cion. Persimmons without seed are not to be excelled by any fruit in this country, when rlripfl A tmlps onnkpd without cores are de lightful. Grapes have been raised for five thousand years without seed. Peaches dried whole, without seed, would be a hundred times better than peaches shaved up and dried. The seeding of cherries has been a great trouble to cooks. ? -* - A Powerful Cement.?A cement of great adhesive power may be made by rubbing together, in a mortar, two parts of nitrate of lime, twenty-five of water and twenty of powdered gum arabic, this forming a transparent cement of wonderful strength, and applicable to wood, porcelain, glass and stone. The surface to be united should be painted with the cement, and firmly bound together until the drying is complete.? . 1 merican -1 rtixan. The Cut Worm on Carraoe.?1To prevent the ravages of the cut worm take pieces of newspaper six inches square, tear a split in one side to the center and insert the plant. Bring the slit edge together, and place a little earth or a pebble in the corners, and the work is done. A platform of paper is formed around the plant, through 1 which the worm cannot penetrate. 1 Coffee grounds make a highly success<\%1 Allien* ft\H n ?\innnohmn Thoif timet* )tfl 1U1 Ulllll^ IU1 a |/iiiv/Uo:iiuu. j.ibvj muuv vv dried perfectly before using, put them in a bag and hang them behind the kitchen stove until you have enough that are dry to fill the cushion.

I. CluveritiM is now oil Trial for his Life. Miss Fannie Lillian Madison and Mr. I Thos. J. Cluverius, (pronounced Kla/veers,) were second cousins. She was in her 22nd ' year; he is in his 24th. They formerly | lived in King William county, Ya., and had known each other from childhood. They had met under her parents' roof, at their aunt's, at *her uncle's and elsewhere. The parents of both are living. Both families are in very moderate circumstances, though connected by blood and marriage --9 a%. * a_ i a. i ~ - r T7: \ir: i witn many 01 me uesi peupiu in mug ?? u- | liam and King and Queen counties. Mrs. Tunstall, an aunt and a widow of means, J educated both, and between the two there ; was always thought to he only a warm cous- ! inly attachment. Last July, Lillian left her j parents' home, near Manquin, to go to her i grandparents and uncle near by, and while there secured a position as school teacher at Mrs. Dickinson's, near Millboro, in Bath. She was visited at her uncle's by her cousin Tom several times during the summer before leaving for Bath. Last October she went to Bath by the way of Richmond, and staid at her aunt's a few days on a visit. Her cousin Tom was here too. It is surmised that they met, but if so, exactly where and how is not known. By the middle of October she was located in her new home in Bath county, at Mr. Dickinson's beautiful place on the Cow Pasture river, and engaged in teaching. Here she lived a double life, and doubtless a miserable existence, knowing Jong before Christmas that she was a ruined woman and must soon be spurned as an outcast in society. If she ! A 1.11 1-- /~it TJo + k wrote ally letters iu uuvnius uum xjmii they are in his possession or destroyed. What letters he wrote to her while she was in Bath she burnt up the night before she made her start for Richmond. A few empty envelopes left in the trunk prove that nedid write to her, but what he wrote about is not known. Last January, on the plea of going to see her aunt, Mrs. Tunstall, she came to this city and registered on theoth,as Miss F. L. Merton, Roanoke City. At the same time Tom came here from down the country. He registered at the Davis House, near the Exchange, under his true name. He called to see Lillian at the Exchange. He went up to her room. One night she stayed elsewhere than at her room at the hotel. She met but one person she knew besides her cousin Tom while at the hotel, and that was Mr. Clagett Jones, of King and Queen. They had a brief conversation on commonplace topics, and soon thereafter Lillian left the city for Bath. SHE LEAVES BATII FOR EVER. On the 12th of last March Lillian left Bath forever to meet her cousin Tom again in Richmond. Lillian received a letter falsely purporting to come from a young lady, a former companion, urging her to come to Richmond, and thence to go to Old Point as her companion, for which she would be paid a weekly sum. Mrs. Dickinson lent Lillian her reddish brown canvas clothes bag to carry some extra underclothing, extra pair of shoes, &c., and, as it offered her a few weeks of pleasure consented for her to go. When the letter was brought to Lillian she exclaimed to the little boy after reading it: "Oh, Willie, why did you bring me this? Why did you not throw it into the river?" The night before leaving she told Miss Ella Kinney, a companion, that she ' had a premonition that something horrible would happen before her return, and that she had a secret to tell her, but they were not left alone before she left, and Lillian did not reveal it. Before leaving she gathered out of the trunk an apronful of letters. A few she read and shed tears over; then she flung the whole apronful in the fire, remarking that something might happen to her, and she didn't care lor her mother to get hold of these letters. On the way to the train, riding horseback, she said to little Willie Diekerson, "I feel as if something terrible will come of this trip." Lillian was a stout and short little woman. She was only 4 feet 11 inches high, but . probably weighed 125 pounds. Her face was round and full, and she was said to be really pretty. Dressed for her trip to Richmond, she had on a black alpaca dress; over that a blue jersey, and underneath that a warm jacket; around her neck a bright, glossy red silk hankerchief, pinned with a black jet brooch ; while on her head she wore a hat made of black straw, turned up in front. It had three ostrich tips on it and was trimmed with twilled silk and velvet. Around it was worn a veil. The most conspicuous part of her outfit was a red crochet shawl, sometimes thrown over her shoulders and sometimes carried on her arm, sometimes strapped on her clothes-bag. She wore a plain gold finger ring. In one hand she had the clothes-bag; on the other she carried a small satchel, wherein she kept her money. What it amounted to no one knows. Mrs. Dickinson gave her $5 when she started ; how much more she had cannot be ascertained. At Millboro, she took out a $5 and a $1 note and paid for her ticket, and got fifty cents in change. CLUVERIUS COMF-S TO RICHMOND. Tom Cluverius arrived in Richmond on the 12th of March from King and Queen county. In consequence of a late train Lillian did not reach Richmond until late Fri clay morning, March 13. sue registered at the American Hotel as "Miss F. L. Merton," and was assigned to room 21. Cluverius was at the Davis House on Thursday morning. Leaving his satchel and overshoes there he went to the barbershop under the American Hotel, distant some hundred yards, and got shaved. It is claimed by him that he never wore a mustache. Lillian received a note while eating her breakfast Friday morning addressed to Miss i Merton. She read it, wrote an answer at : once and gave it to the messenger, who I took it down to the "yellow boy" who had ; brought the note to her. "I will be there i as soon as possible, so do wait on me." It is believed that she and Tom went together. At 1.15 she returned to the hotel. At j 2 P. M., that day Cluverius was seen at the j Dime Museum matinee. She ate dinner I about 1.30, and soon thereafter started to go j out again as before. When she returned it | is not known. She was in her room some1 where*about 5 P. M. when she called a ser- i J vant and asked him to buy two postal j I cards. For this purpose she gave him twenj ty-tive cents. lie bought the postal cards ! and returned her the change. Between (> ! and" o'clock Lillian started to go out again, j She had her clothes bag with her. She | j went up Twelfth street toward the Davis ! House. She returned at 8.30 o'clock with j , an "old man" who had his pants in his boots, I ! who said : "Here is a lady I brought; she j j wants a room." Tyler, the colored floor [ | servant, took her to her room (21). Later , a young man with light mustache (he posi-; tively identified Cluverius at the coroner's ' inquest,) was shown to the parlor and there I met Lillian. There Tyler left them. Clu- i j verius saw "the old man." Coming around j about 10 P. M., Tyler found the parlor emp-1 ty and put out the lights. Lillian's room was unoccupied that night. IN TIIK STREET ( All. Cluverius is the man identified as the man ' who stopped a Main streetcar with a woman near the American Hotel. Both got on I and went up town. Mr. J. T. Williams, j driver of a Main street car, remembers that on the hist trio he made that niirht he had a man and a veiled woman as passengers; that they got off at the end of the line, >. (Main and Reservoir streets;) that the man (who "wore a light mustache") asked him several questions about the streets, and that i i he carried "a satchel" or bag in his hand, i ! This was 9.35 P. M. | That same Friday night at 9.15 Dr. Strutton says he met a man and woman at Reservoir and Carey streets. The man questioned him about the streets and as to the time i ofnight. The man had "a short mustache," the woman had a package under her arm and no shawl on. Fifty steps from where i this meeting took place is the residence of the Runstan family, friends of Lillian. ! About the same hour a man and woman were seen walking along the lonely path on i the western side of the old reservoir?a path, which, following the back fence of the ground, leads to "the hole in the fence." The note which Lillian sent to Tom, telling him "I will be there," &c., never reached him. The colored boy returned and said he could not find him. He left the note at the American House, and it was kept in the hotel office for some days, and then torn up and thrown in the waste basket. After it was ascertained that Miss Merton and Miss Madison were probably the same, it was found and pasted together. JIKR DEAD BODY FOUND. Stranded on one of the sloping sides of the reservoir basin, what appeared to be the body of a German woman was taken out and laid upon the ground. It was the dead body of Fannie Lillian Madison. On March 13th *i? ^ii,:? linfl Koon nllnwPfl Lilt? waici' ill ill 19 luaci vwa nau uw. to fall four feet, which exposed the body to view in the morning. There was no sign of hat or shawl, and as at first no mark of violence could be seen, the hasty conclusion was reached by some that it was a case of suicide. Later in the day, and particularly the following two days, there could be seen the mark of a heavy blow over the right eye, lips slightly bruised, and on the forehead some little, trifling specks. The blow on the forehead?the inostserious hurt?had not fractured the skull, or even broken the skin ; but it had caused an effusion of blood on the brain, and its effect was seen on the opposite (hack) side of the brain, in what was taken to be a "counter-stroke." It might have been the counter-stroke, or a second blow given her. The skin on the lips was not broken, but in a few days the under lip was darkened greatly. The autopsy also revealed the fact that deceased would have become a mother in from four to six weeks. The conclusion of the doctors was that death occurred ill the water, (there was mud clenched in her hands;) that it was impossible to tell whether the blows were given before or after death, but that if before death they were sufficient to render deceased insensible, and might possibly have resulted in death. HER STRUGGLE FOR.LIFE. Evidences of a severe struggle were all around the spot. There were probably ten or fifteen tracks. A glove and a shoe string were found. Her veil was picked up outside the reservoir grounds. Close by it was found an old-fashioned watch key. Fur theron, in the small pox hospitol grounds close by, another glove was found. Pier hat had been thrown through the broken window of the dead house. Down in a brier thicket was found a terra cotta silk handkerchief, so far unidentified. On the front fence of Mr. Dunstan's residence, a half mile away, was found her .crochet shawl. Some three or four miles away, in the James river, opposite the Chesapeake and Ohio railway wharves, was found her clothes bag, while at no accessible point does the river flow nearer to the reservoir than from one half to three-quarters of a mile. There had been "spittings" of snow that day, the ground was damp, the weather cold and the place one of the most undesirable for man or woman in Richmond. It was a lonely spot, difficult of access, with the cemetery of the small pox hospital, with its one hundred and fifty white head-boards, near by. CLUVERIITS A R RESTED. Cleverius was arrested at his Aunt Tunstall's on Wednesday evening following. He declared he had never seen P'annie while in Richmond, Art of Talking.?'There is not by any means alack of talk, this is abundant. Gossip and scandal and slang we have an over abundance of, but of conversation, sensible talk, there is asad wantof that. The American people have been dubbed a nation of talkers or rather of twaddlers, and there is much truth in the assertion, but the same may be said of almost every other nation under the sua. There are lew reany gooa talkers, men from whom, in ordinary conversation, you can gather a fund of knowledge, and who are entertaining as well. You need not long be in the company of a man until you are aware of his weak points. If his general demeanor does not betray him his tongue will. Hut all men are not of the classes spoken of. There are many who have wonderful powers of conversation. Men who do not talk about themselves, or discuss common places of life, but who talk calmly of religion, poetry, philosophy, the economy of human flie, the cultivation of the intellect, and the affairs of the nation. The art of talking should be a study. Attention should be given to it in the home and school. There is very much in the training men receive as to whether they will become useful talkers. With very little care almost any one can become a good conversationalist. ?Interior Manthly. The Earth's Magnetic Force.?Says the Horological jYeics: Everything on the earth and in the air above is permeated with earth's magnetic force?it goes through your clothes, it penetrates your bodies, it saturates your brains, it is a part of life itself. Gaus, the illustrious German astronomer, has computed?takingas a unit of his measurement, a magnet fourteen inches long, one inch wide, one-fourth inch thick, weighing one pound, made of the hardest steel and of the strongest magnetic force possible?the earth's magnetic force as equal to 8,4(55,000,000,000,000,000,000, such magnets. The attracting or lifting power of such a magnet is about 10 pounds, which would make the attracting power of the earth, 42,010,000,000,000,000,000 tons. If this magnetism were equally distributed throughout the mass of the earth, the magnetic intensity of each cubic yard would be equal to six of these magnets or about sixty pounds attractive force. Professor Mayer has shown that this magnetic influence, this invisible force, is a power filling space to an unknown distance, and radiating in the lines of magnetic force very much as the rays of the sunlight, the lines of the earth's magnetic force being from south to north, as indicated by the compass needle. Facts About Cancers.?Nearly every case of cancer can be traced to some exciting cause, such as an injury to the part, a local I disease in some of the glands or a neglected I warty growth. High living with insufficient exercise or the neglect of the general health conduce to it. The mo.it generally accepted idea of the nature of the disease is that it is the result of the morbid growth or development of white blood corpuscles, as the ceils usually found in cancer resemble these more than any other. ' These cells do not increase and develop like the cells found in pus and other morbid conditions, but seem to emanate from a definite source,#and arc produced at a comparatively slow but constantly increasing rate. The increase has been noticed to correspond with the decline in general health, and the decrease to begin with the improvement of health.? Pittsburg Dispatch. Kmharuassixg.?An old editor of the j Augusta ((ia.) Chronicle one day attended a colored church in the country,and had an unexpected experience. lie had in his pock- j et a silver half-dollar, just the fare back to Augusta. At the conclusion of the sermon the minister ordered a collection for his own benefit. "Of course," said he, "I 'spects every pusson to givesomethin'; but I'se told da't Mr. Thomas, up de land yonder, had i some turkeys stole Friday night. I don't j want any man who had a han'in stealing dem turkeys to put any money in de plate." j When the plate reached the editor not a man had refused to contribute, the preacher's eyes were on him. His half-dollar accordingly went into the plate. He thought it wise to "avoid the appearance of evil." - ffgy-The sociability of drunkenness and the origin of the petty custom of drinkers pleding each other is explained. In the good old days when cutthroats drank together socially, each one made the rest promise not i to attack him while he was drinking.

Last October I was induced to try Swift's Specific, and used two bottles and was so much benefitted by it tbnt i purchased four more from Messrs.

Wetumpka, Ala., Sept. d8, 1884.?About six years ago I became afflicted with a very disagreeable skin disease, with large, dry sores and many crusted pimples on my face, hands and shoulder. The sore on my shoulder eat out n hole nearly an inch deep, and the cancerous appearance of one of the sores near my eye alarmed me very much. 1 tried all kinds of treatment, but found nothing that seemed to affect the disease. 1 finally decided to try S. 8. 8. on advice of a physician, and in a short time the scabs dropped from tin: sores ami left my skin smooth and well. I consider 8. 8. 8. the great est blood medicine made, and the only thing that will cure the disease with which I was afflicted. 1 think my trouble was the result of a terrible attack of malarial fever, contracted while farming In the Tallapoosa river swamp. I can be found at my ofiice, in tin: court house at Wetumpka. You can refer to me. J. L. It hours, Dep. Sheriff Elmore Co., Ala. For Sale by John C. Kuykendal nod I?owry Jc Starr, Yorkvilie.
