?he fPgawi'is EarnerTHE FIRST CLIENT. Jolsa Smith, a young attorney, just admitted to the bar, Was .solemn and sagacious as?as young attorneys are; And a n*own of deep abstraction held the seisin of his face? The result of contemplation of the rule in Shelley's case. One day in term time Mr. Smith was sitting in the court, When some good men and true of the body of the county did on their oaths report That, heretofore, to wit, upon the second day of May, A. D. 1877, about the hour of noon, in the county and State aforesaid, one Joseph Scroggs, late of said county, did then and there feloniously take, steal and carry away One bay horse, of the value of fifty dollars, more or less, (The same then ana mere being 01 tne property, goods and chattels of one Hezekiah Hess), Contrary to the Statute in such cases expresslv made And provided, and against the peace and dignity of the Slate wherein the venue had been laid. The prisoner, Joseph Scroggs, was hien arraigned upon this charge, And plead not guilty, and of this he threw bim "self upon the country at large; And said Joseph being poor, the court did graciously appoint Mr. Smith 'to defend him-?-much on the same principle that obtains in every charity hospital, where a young medical student is often sent to rectify a serious injury to an organ or a joint. ? The witnesses seemed prejudiced against poor Mr. Scroggs ; And the District Attorney made a thrilling soeech, in which he told the jury that if they didn't find for the State he reekoned he'a have to "walk their logs Then Mr. Smith arose and made his speech for the defense, Wherein he quoted Shakspeare, Blackstone, Chitty, Archbold, Joaquin Miller, Story, Kent, Tupper, Smedes, Siarshall and many other writers, and everybody said they "never heard sich a bu'st of eloquence." And he said; "On this hypothesis my client must go free And : "A.gain on this hypothesis, it's morally impossible that lie could be guilty, don't you see?" And : " l'hen. on this hypothesis, you really can't convict"? ?And so on, with forty-six other hypotheses, upon none of which, Mr. Smith ably demonstrated, could Scroggs be derelict. But the jury, never stirring from the box wherein they sat, Returned aVerdietof "gniltv ;""and His Honor straightway sentenced* Scroggs to a three years term'in the penitentiary, and a heavy fine, and the costs on top of that; And the prisoner, in wild delight, got up and danced and sung; And when thev asked him the reason of this strange behavior, he said : "It's because I got off so easy?for if there'd been a fewmore of them dirtied hypotheses. I should certainly have been hung."?Irwin Russell. 3Kuh).0?0U5 ?fjrartmrut. Can The World Afford to be Honest??Parson Bangle became disgusted with the untruthfulness of mankind, and preached a vigorous sermon in denunciation of society falsehood. He declared that lies told out of politeness were just as wicked as those told with the deliberate intention of deceiving. In fact, these society lies got folks in the habit of lying, and they readily pick up the other kind. The sermon made a great impression. Many of the congregation resolved to reform. Coming out of the church, Deacon Jones said to Judge Badger, who sits in front of him: "Judge, I hope you didn't mind my putting ray feet under your pew?" The Judge was about to reply, "Oh, certainly not; but he thought of the sermon and answered: "I did, though, your old hoofs took up all the room and were a fearful nuisance." "Well," said the deacon, "the hair oil you use smells so, it nearly forced us to leave the pew." They glared at each other, and just then Mrs. Badger and Miss Jinkins came along. Miss Jinkins had asked, "How do you like 'my new bonnet?" "Oh, I thought it just love?" replied Mrs. B., and then she thought of the sermon, "No, I didn't either. It is a horrid thing. I wouldn't be seen with it." And Miss Jinkins got mad and replied, "well, if I were you, I'd not wear dirty stockins to church; and if I did, I'd keep 'em out of sight." While these honest conversations were going on, Mrs. Smith had said to her next door neighbor, Mr. Murry, "I hope the crying of our baby last night didn't disturb you?" And Murry replied, "No?that is?yes, I wanted to brain the brat." And then Mrs. Smith called him a wretch, and wept. Then the clergyman came out and asked young Symonds how he liked the sermon. Symonds said, "It was a grand ef?er?oh, parson, it was blamed nonsense." "Sir? said the parson, and he drew himself up indignantly- Just then, Smith and Murry, after telling each other the truth, clinched, and Deacon Jones was trying to hold Miss Smith from seratching Mr. Badger. It took tremendous etforts to stop the rows and prevent a scandal, and, as it was, everybody went away mad with everybody else. The parson went home and meditated in a gloomy frame of mind for three hours, and finally concluded that society lying was wicked; but he wouldn't preach against it again. It's altogether too handy a sin to be given up. The "Visiting Cakd."?During the war, when Col. Bob Crockett was stationed at Camden, he had a small sign, "Colonel Crockett's Headquarters," posted above his door. One night a number of boys, having taken down the sign, went out to a farmer's hen-house and after taking every chicken they could find, left the sign. The next morning an old fellow entered Crockett's quarters and asked: "Is this Col. Crocket?" "Yes, sir." "Is this here your visitin' keyard?" taking the sign from under his coat. "Where did you get that?" "Found It "this mornin' in my henhouse." "What were your chickens worth ?" "Fifteen dollars in gold." "Well, oldlellow, you break me, but here's your money. Don't say anything about it." Crockett afterwards learned that a croupy old rooster and a sick hen were the only fowls that were taken by the boys.?Arkansaw Traveler. Wokked Both Ways.?"Why are you like the moon, Niokup," said his friend Bates. "I give it up," answered Nickup. "Well, because your face is always bright and beaming with good nature," said Bates, and he looked toward the bar. "That ain't bad ; I'll just tell that to my wife when I get home," said Nickup, and then he winked at the bar-tender and told him to "set 'em up again." "Mary," said he, as he tumbled into bed that evening, "Why am I like the moon?" "What is it?" she sharply asked. lie repeated the question. "Because you are full every month, in the year," she answered and hushed him.?Chicago Tribune. Not a Sufficient Mark of Respect. An official in the water board of a western city having departed this life, the city government, who esteemed him a faithful employe, sent his salary fo r the remainder of the' year with a letter ol condolence to the widow. A friend of the latter, in speaking of her loss, remarked that the action of the city had been very considerate, etc. "Yes," said the bereaved one, "butitseems as if they might have shut off the water for half a day at least, as a mark of respect for John." Ox His Bridal Tour.?That is a droll story about a fellow on board an ocean steamer who sat off to himself and seemed to be generally sore in his mind about something. He presented such a very forlorn appearance that some ladies on deck thought they ought to inquire what was the matter. 80 one old lady approached and asked the lonely one why he was so disconsolate. "The fact is," said ho, "I'm on my bridal tour, but I didn't have enough money to bring my wife with me."?X. (). Times-Democrat. Not a Hair Preservative.?"See here," said an angry citizen to a quack doctor, "that 'wonderful discovery' of yours for preserving the scalp is a fraud." "Why so?" "Look at that," he went on, removing his hat, "since using it I have lost all my hair." "Oh, it doesn't pretend to preserve the hair," replied the doctor, "only the scalp. You've got your scalp left. You mustn't expect too much of medical science." lb |atw and ^firrsidc. THE VALUE OF CLOVER. To the question of what is gained by plowing in a clover sod? Henry Stewart replies as follows in the New York Times: There are, he says, three advantagesfirst the mechanical effects upon the soil; second, the addition of a certain quantity of fertilizing matter; and third, the chemical effects upon the soil. Just now it is very important to consider ! each of these very closely, because there is ! a popular opinion prevalent that the soil is actually improved by cutting and removing this second growth instead of plowing it under. This belief has been taught by agricultural chemists and by writers upon agriculture, and it has been widely adopted on the strength of the authority. But there are really no faetsgiven to support the prevalent belief in the effects of clover upon the soil, while common sense and reason are ! opposed to it. This will appear as the three | points above mentioned are made clear. First. There are some certain mechanical effects produced upon the soil by the plowing in of a clover sod, and these effects are greater in proportion to the bulk of the vegetable matter turned under. A quantity of green clover which would make a ton of nay is equal to four tons of the green matter. The roots and stubble of such growth of clover will amount to an equal bulk of four tons more. Sixteen thousand pounds, or eight tons of green matter is equivalent to 100 pounds upon every square rod of ground. When this is evenly distributed, as it is by plowing a growing crop under, in alternate layers of vegetable matter, and four, five or six inches of soil, as the furrows may be made, the soil is greatly improved in texture ; a light, sandy loam i9 bound together and consolidated by this fibrous matter intermingled with it, and a heavy clay is loosened, opened, and made more porous. Either soil is far better prepared for its occupation by a mass of roots, and is better enabled to hold the moisture requisite for i the growth of a crop. Second. A quantity of clover like that plowed in contributes to the soil a large amount of the most valuable fertilizing matter. The eight tons of clover leaves, stems and roots contain about 112 pounds of nitrogen, twenty-six pounds of phosphoric acid, fifteen pounds of sulphuric acid, sixty pounds of carbonic acid, one hundred pounds of lime, sixty seven pounds of potash, and sixty pounds of soda, magnesia, chlorine, iron, etc. A ton of ordinary farm manure contains nine pounds of nix . x ?< irogen, leu puunus ui puiain, auu iuui pounds of phosphoric acid. Therefore the eight tons of clover add to the soil as much nitrogen as twelve and one-half tons of manure. There is a considerable balance in favor of the clover, the greater, as nitrogen is the most costly -and valuable of all the needed elements of fertility. But there is a deeper view to be taken of this considerable addition made to the fertility of the soil by the clover, and that is, it had been procured from sources where no other crop could procure it, and that is from a great depth, comparatively, in the sub-soil. Clover is a deep-rooted plant. It has a thick, fusiform tap-root, which penetrates to a great depth, and then sends out a multitude of feeders, which gather nutriment from a much larger space and depth than any other plant. Furthermore, it has the habit of passing through its roots and leaves an enormous quantity of water, equal to 15,574 pounds per day for an acre, or in 100 days about 770 tons. This is seven times as much space as is required or used by a wheat crop, whose roots occupy much less space and remain near the surface. There is still another point to be noticed and which we must not omit. This is that while the clover plant draws up and transpires so large a quantity of water, yet the mineral matter held in solution and upon which the plant feeds is by no means proportionately large. It is, therefore, able to exisist and grow in poorer soil than any other crop, and to subsist on much weaker food. It is as though an animal could live and thrive and grow upon milk diluted four times with water, and thus exist upon a very poor quality of food; or as though it could increase and grow fat upon straw, eat ing and digesting four times as niueh for the same effect as another could do with the host hay and meal. This is the most important point to know and consider, why clover is so beneficial to soils, and why a farmer, by plowing in a clover sod, can grow a good crop of corn and another of oats, and still leave a remainder for the following small grain crop, or why after a clover sod plowed in, in the summer, he can grow a very much larger crop of wheat than he could in any other way. These acids are set free and begin to act upon the soil. And we may also in this connection take into account the considerable quantity of deeper roots of the clover, which are left in the soil to decay below the reach of the plow. The acids act upon the mineral water of the soil and decompose it. The carbonic acid has the property of dissolving in water and conferring upon it the ability to dissolve silica, lime, and other minerals, while sulphuric acid combines with limeand sets free phosphoricacid which may have been in combination with it. Again, the porosity given to the soil by the mass of clover opens it to the admission of the air, and in its decay produces heat, and these influences greatly accelerate and intensify whatever chemical action may be started by the decay of clover. In summing up the advantages which may be derived from plowing in a clover sod?and we may say, at the same time, a crop of clover grown for this purpose?the following are the chief points to be noted : 1. Clover, from its habits of growth, may be produced upon soils too poor for any other crop, because it gathers its lood from sources beyond the reach of any other crop. 2. Clover gathers from the soil more potash, lime, phosphoric acid, and other mineral matters, and also several times more ^nitrogen than any other crop. 3. Clover in its decay sets free from the soil a considerable quantity of mineral matter, and also gathers from the atmosphere, during its growth, a considerable quantity of nitrogen. 4. All these accumulations are brought to ! the surface, where they are made available for the use of succeeding crops. 5. That in this manner clover effects a j sensible and valuable improvement of the soil, both directly by its actual contributions to it, as well as indirectly by its favorable chemical action upon it. That these contributions of a clover crop to the fertility of the soil are not only in an immediate available form for the use of succeeding crops, but that they are additional I to the very considerable, and indeed equalj ly valuable, contribution in the form oflodI der for the feeding of stock, which is rej turned, in great part, to the soil in the form I of manure.

I j Miscellaneous fteatfing. | CARL SCHURZ ON THE SOUTH. i As a result of two tours of the South, one ! j made in 1865, and the other last winter, the 1 Hon. Carl Schurz has written and published ; a pamphlet containnig his impressions. Mr. i Schurz has been prominent in this country | for years. He was at one time Secretary ! of the Interior, and last fall was prominent | as a leader of the Independent Republicans ! who lent their influence to the National l Democratic ticket. He is an able politician j and a shrewd observer, and his views are I therefore interesting. Of the general condition of the South he says: "Although still poor, the South is decidj edly richer than it was before the war, | while, of course, its wealth is differently distributed. New industries'have sprung un and old ones are better developed. The j mineral resources are gradually drawn to light. In the iron regions of Alabama new towns are springing up, and the appearance of which reminds us of Pennsylvania. Cotton mills are multiplying. Manufacturing establishments of various kinds are rising in many places. While the sugar interest in Louisiana has much declined, other branches of agriculture, such as tobacco in North Carolina, have taken a new start. The cotlou crop is constantly growing larger. The question of decisive import is no longer only how the negroes will work, for the white people themselves are working much better than before. The number of young men in the villages and small towns standing idle around the grocery corners is steadily decreasing. Among young people the tendency to devote themselves earnestly to useful aud laborious occupations is becoming much more general. The poor whites of both sexes are in many places found to make industrious and faithful operatives in manufacturing establishments." Touching the negroes he observes that "the most unsatisfactory feature of their condition as a class is disinclination to work, shown by many of their young people who have grown up since the abolition of slavery. There is said to be a notion spreading among them that it is the aim and end of education to enable people to go on without work." This is as true as preaching ana concerning this tendency he goes on to say that it "is exciting a prejudice against the education of negroes, not only among certain classes of whites, but also among some of the more thrifty among " 1 11 TTa 4-.% 11 ?xc tne negroes memseives.- ne icua ui u. prosperous negro farmer in Alabama owning a well stocked farm of 000 acres, worked by him with his children, who refuses to send his boys to school because learning would spoil them for farm work, and who permitted only one of his girls to learn reading and writing so that she might be able to keep his accounts, and says, "here is a field for missionary work, which those whose public spirit is devoted to the elevation of the colored race should keep well in view. The relation of grammar to industry must be most tangible to the young mind. The addition of industrial teaching to the common school in this respect is of especial importance. Among those who nave been slaves there are a great many skillful mechanics?blacksmiths, carpenters, harness makers, shoemakers, <tc. Their sons, raised in freedom, seem to be less inclined to devote themselves in these laborious trades; and yet the negro, who with his mechanical aptitudes, might, properly trained and guided, furnish the South all the handicraftsmen necessary for ordinary work." This is excellent advice, but it differs in nowise from that which the more intelligent Southern white tolk give in all sincerity to the blacks and which has about the same effect as water on a duck's back. "As it is," he proceeds, "the negroes constitute, and will for a long period to come continue to constitute the bulk of the agricultural laboring force in the principal cotton States and every sensible Southern man recognizes them as a most valuable and in fact indispensable element in developing the resources and promoting the prosperity of the South. They are there to stay and must be made the best of by just and wise treatment." This is also a fact recognized by the white people and which they, as a rule, would not have changed. Of the "Rebel Brigadier," Mr. Sehurz gives a picture which is true to life. "A peculiarly terrinc ngure in partisan Harangue," he says, "is the 'Rebel Brigadier.' From the descriptions made of him, he might he supposed to bean incurably blackhearted traitor, still carrying the 'rebel' flag under his coat to bring it out at an opportune moment, still secretly drilling his old hosts in dark nights and getting himself elected to Congress for the purpose of crippling the government by artfully contrived schemes to accomplish the destruction of the Union as soon as his party is well settled in power. Now, what kind of man is the 'Rebel Brigadier,' in reality? He belonged in the South, originally to the same class- to which the Union Brigadiers belonged in the North. After the close of the war he found himself as poor as the rest of his people. At first he moped and growled a little and then went to work to make a living?as a farmer, or a lawyer or a railroad employee, or an insurance man or a book agent. Being a man of intelligence he was among the first to open his eves to the fact that the war had been perhaps a very foolish venture for the South? because it was undertaken against overwhelming odds?and certainly a very disastrous one because it left nothing but wreck and ruin behind it; one of those enterprises which a man of sense may delude himself into once, but never again. He is now very busy repairing his fortunes in the civil walks of life and the better he succeeds the more conservative he grows, for the more clearly he perceives that his own fortunes are closely linked to the general prosperity of the country and that everything hurtful to the country hurts him. He is in many instances drawn into public life by the choice of his neighbors. His views on questions t\F nnklin xnltntr moir fromipntlv bp WJ puuiiv pv/livj UIUJ iiv?]uv?vv ~ ? ken?they probably are. He may also be always ready to jump up in defense of his record and the record and character of his associates in the war. He shows pride of his and their gallantry in the field, as every soldier will do, and he is unwilling to have it said that his motives were infamous?a thing which but few men, and those not the best, are willing to hear or admit. But having learned at his own cost what civil war is, he would be among the last to think of rebellion again. He has that military honor in him which respects the terms of a capitulation, and if he has any ambition to show his prowess once more it will be for the restored Union, and not against it." Speaking again of the negro, Mr. Schurz truthfully says: "The election of a Democratic President has been to the negro a great blessing, for it has delivered him of two dangerous delusions: one that the success of the Democratic party in a national election would make him a slave again, and the other, that by acting together as a race, the negroes could wield in politics a controlling influence with much profit to themselves. They know now that their freedom is assured, whatever party wins, and that it is not necessary for them to herd together in a political party of their own for self-defense. They also know that they can never hope again to become the ruling power in politics as they felt themselves to be for a time, under the leadership of Republican adventurers, and that, therefore, negro politics in j the old way will never pay them again." Generally speaking, Mr. Schurz thinks j there is no longer any distinctive "soutnem policy" in the old sense. The economic in-1 terests of the South and of the North are ; becoming more and more alike. There is no longer any essential difference between them as between two countries whose material development requires, respectively, different means and policies. Economic questions are no longer discussed between the sections, but within them. As to the tariff, for instance, it looks as if the protec- J tion sentiment was gaining ground in the: South as it is losing ground in the North. Although the 'cause of silver' is strong in the South, yet nobody will pretend that i there is any unanimity about it, or that it is 1 felt to be a peculiarly Southern interest. ! About these things, as well as the matter of internal revenue, the subject of banking, I civil service reform, temperance legislation, | etc., there is enough difference of opinion among Southern men who call themselves Democrats, to produce serious effects as soon as the apprehension of common danger disappears." On the whole, Mr. Schur/.'s view of the South is a remarkably clear and unbiased one, coming from a northern man, and we thank him for publishing it. The work may be of great service in correcting the unlovely impression of the Southern people which still prevails largely at the North, ! and of course the sooner and the better the different sections of the country understand each other the happier the whole people will become. The danger pointed out in the last paragraph we quote is real and is i recognized by all the thoughtful men of the South. With the difficulty, when it comes, j however, we have no doubt there will be i abundant strength to cope. A Sensational Damage Suit.?The most sensational damage suit of the day has just come to an end in the United States court at Little Rock, Ark. It seems that a year ago, one Mose Harris, who was running a newspaper at Hot Springs, made himself and his journal so obnoxious to the good people of the town that they organized a mob. The newspaper business was summarily broken up, and Harris was escorted out of town by an armed posse, with an emphatic warning not to return. Har ris, wnen ne nau reacnea a suit; piutc, sat/ down and cogitated. The result was that he brought suit in the federal court for $100,000 damages, against nearly all the respectable citizens of Plot Springs. The case excited tremendous interest throughout the Southwest. Eminent lawyers were retained on both sides, and the trial lasted several days. The jury returned a verdict awarding damages to Harris to the amount of $1,250, which covers property destroyed by the mob and actual loss of business. Harris will now institute against each member of the vigilance committee for the recovery of sentimental and punitive damages. It seems that.a petition was gotten up and signed by 147 citizens for the expulsion of Harris from Hot Springs. Each signer of this petition under the ruling of the court, is liable to the victim of mob law. It is believed that the ill-used editor will bring suit against all of these parties, and the prospect is that he will keep the IT. S. courts full of business for some years to come. Since the days of Mrs. Myra Clarke Gaines, no one person has ever brought such an avalanche of suits. Woman's Influence.?The correspondents are saying that certain women played the most important part in bringing about the peaceful result of the Anglo-Russian difficulty. These fair and noble creatures were the Czarina and her sister, the Princess of Wales, whom the Crown Princess Germany has called the ''Goddess of Peace." The crown princess herself did not interfere, it is reported. She is English born and is represented as being in the highest degree dissatisfied with the present condition of things. Of course she did not wish war duc she regards the course of Gladstone as having brought humiliation upon his country. The Baron von Stockmar, son of the late Baron von Stockmar, who was the most intimate friend and adviser of the prince consort, the crown princess' father, earnestly requested the queen in a lettei*, it is said, to put all her influence in the scales against war, as he could not believe, by reason of circumstances well known to him, in England's ability te achieve victory. He recalled the fact that the prince consort in his political bequest denoted Russia as the greatest enemy of Europe and especially of England. Baron Von Stockmar lives in Berlin and enjoys the friendship of the crown princess and. queen Victoria as did his father. If this pretty story with which he is connected be true it is well for England, and for Russia also, that feminine influence has been so successful. Will-Power a Young Man's Fortune. President Gates, of Rutgers College, says: "Every young man has a fortune in the fact of his youth. The energy of youth is unblunted by defeat, or worn by hope deferred. With age one becomes more conservative and looks at as impossible what a younger person would attempt to accomplish, in many cases with success. The effort even if there be a failure, is a grand success. Self-confidence, or self-conceit, if you wish to call it so, is a great thing. A young man's fortune is not to be found in inherited wealth or social position. Every man is the arbiter of his own fortune. Gracious manners and habits are good things to cultivate, but are not all. Will-power is the young man's fortune. It is the essence of the man. A young man with only little will-power is a foregone failure. It should be cultivated. Genius is a gift of God and should not cause pride, hut an honest pursuit of duties is an exhibition of will-power and is something to be proud of. Well-directed, educated will-power is what a young man needs." Clay's Degenerate Descendants.? All the grandsons of Henry Clay were dissipated. The brightest of them was Henry, who was shot dead in a barroom not long if {.J moililnfi that. ".Tames, the eldest. was at one time engaged to Miss Maggie, I daughter of Senator Beck. His habits compelled her to break off the engagement. When her marriage with young Mr. Corcoran, nephew of the banker, was arranged, Clay sent him word that the ceremony should never occur. So fearful was Miss Beck of some tragedy at the church that when she arrived at the door she did not want to have her wraps thrown around her, but nervously threw open the carriage door and ran into the vestibule. It was a cold, raw day, and she caught a cold, which resulted in her death before the honey-moon was over. The young man's threat did end in a tragedy. A Bit ok Science.?Wood, when subjected to a heat of from 400 to 800 degrees, is resolved into three distinct products?charcoal, pyroligneous acid and gases. The process is thus described: A cord of fairly seasoned wood weighs, say 4,000 pounds. This cord of wood, placed in a charring receptacle and subjected to a proper temperature for, say five days, entirely disappears. In its place we have 1,000 pounds of charcoal, 2,000 pounds of pyroligenous acid and 1,000 pounds of uncondensed gases. The aggregate weight of these products is equal exactly to the original weight of the wood. By the agency of heat the constituents of the wood have been disassociated, and the immediate recombination of these constituents result in the charcoal, the acid and the fixed gases. Not a Pleasant Stoky.?A Washington dispatch says the United States Senate, in its last executive session, consummated one of the grossest outrages upon West Point and the army which it has perpetrated at the present session. A cadet, who was about to be found deficient a short time since, resigned to escape the disgrace. He at once, through social influence exerted there, secured a nomination from the President as Second Lieutenant. The Senate had full knowledge of the case, and still confirmed him. As a result the young man, i who could not maintain himself as a cadet,; takes rank in the army two years ahead of those cadets whom he left in his own class to struggle through their course. Wiiehe Violins Come From.?In Bavaria there is a town called Mittenwald, shut in by snow clad peaks and dense forests, in which every yard is crossed by a labyrinth of poles and ropes, on which hundreds of, violins are hung up to dry. For a couple of I centuries the entire industry of the town has ! been violin making, for which the surrounding forests produce the best of material. I Afon women, and children all have their j share of the work, and violins, cellos, bass i viols, zithersaud every stringed instrument, ! from a copy of some old priceless Stradivari us, perfect in form, color and tone, down to the cheapest banjo, are exported in great quantities, all hand-made, to every quarter of the globe.

Those of our i citizens who went thither returned with j cheerful reports, and gradually we came to ! know the South as it really is. We find it alive to education, improvement and justice, and pressing the North to new endeavor in every mart of trade. The South is j not what Republican orators denominate j it. On the contrary, it is awake and brist- j ling with patriotism and jealous in every j act of loyalty.?Boston Globe.

James Jackson, Chief Justiceof Ga. AN AGED BAPTIST MINISTER. Two More Important Cases. Your agent being in Columbus, Ga., a few days ago, and meeting the venerable brother J. II. Campbell, we asked him for the news. lib reply was: "I liave two more Important cures, effected by Swift's Specific, to report." This venerable man is known far and wide for his unremitting labors of love in behalf of the poor of Columbus. It will be remembered that the Swift Specific Company have donated quite an amount of their famous medicine, to be distributed by Mr. Campbell among the 1 poor of the city; hence his remark. He said: "I have just seen a lady who has been greatly annoyed by n Tetter in one of Iter hands. It has given Iter much trouble and pain. She said she had been treated by several physicians during the past three or four years with the old remedies, but without giving any relief. I suggested Swift's Specific, and she 1 took four bottles and is now apparently perfectly well. Her hand lssmooth and not n single sign of the disease left. His [ marvelous howthls medicine renovates the system." , "What about the other case?" "Well, that was a lady also. She had been affected with the eczema for four years. Her face, han.2 and arms, as well as lire body was covered over with sores and scabs. It was one of I the worst cases of this terrible disease thnt I had ever seen. The suffering of the poor crenture was beyond expression. She tried every remedy at command, including mercury and Iodide of potash, but she only grew worse. She was in this ! condition when I first saw the case. 1 soon had her taking Swift's Specific, and she has now only taken two bottles, hut every mark of the disease has almost entirely disappeared. Her strength and general henlth have greatly improved. It is one of the most remarkable cures that lias come under my observation." "Mr. Campbell, you have had a long and varied experience in mingling with men, and observing their ntilictinns and the remedies used?what is your opinion as to the merits of Swift's Specific "In a ministry of sixty years I have mingled with every class of society and have observed closely the variety of diseases which ntflict humanity. Blood diseases are the most numerous nnd the most difficult to remove. It Is my deliberate judgment that Swift's Specific is the grandest blood purifier ever discovered. There is nothing comparable to it. There is nothing too good tosny about Swift's Specific." Treatise on Blood nnd Skin Diseases mailed free. Tiie Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga. For Sale by John C.
