prowMuis Hutment. BILL NYE ON THE FIDDLER, NERO. Nero, who was a Roman Emperor from 54 to 68 A. D., was said to have been one of the most disagreeable monarchs to meet that Rome ever had. He was a nephew of Caligula, the Emperor, on his mother's side, and a son of Dominitius Abentobarbus, of St. Lawrence county. The above was really Nero's name, but in the year 50 A. D. his mother married Claudius, and her son adopted the name of Nero Claudius Csesar Drusus Germanicus. This name he was in the habit of wearing during cold weather, buttoned up in front. During the hnf. n'oofhar Yorn woe oil tho noma ha *?vw n VMVUV? j ^lViV fiutj l?Ift VUV aiv wore. In 53 Nero married Octavia, daughter of Claudius and went right to housekeeping. Nero and Octavia did not get along first rate. Xero soon wearied of his young wife and finally transferred her to New Jerusalem. In 54 Nero's mother, by concealing the rightful heir to the throne for several weeks, and doctoring the returns, succeeded in getting the steady job of Emperor for Nero at a good salary. His reign was quite stormy and he was a good, vicarious fighter, and could sucessfully hold a man's coat all day while the man went to the front to get killed. He loved to go out riding over the battle fields as soon it was safe, in his gorgeously bedizened band chariot, and he didn't care if the wheels rolled in gore up to the hub provided it was some other man's gore. It gave him great pleasure to drive about over the field of carnage and gloat over the dead. Nero was not a great success as an Emperor, but as a gloater he has no rival in history. Nero's reign was characterized, also, by the great conflagration and Roman fireworks of July, G4, by which two-thirds of the city of Rome was destroyed. The emperor was charged with starting this fire in order to get the insurance on a stock of dry goods on Main street. Instead of taking off his crown, hanging it up in the hall and helping to put out the fire, as other Emperors have done time and iiofain Morn tnnlr his vinlin nn stairs and U11CU91YC7 pai uoa:: viuiv tnuu ly put up the following notice on his office aoor: "Gone to see the Emperor in relation to charge of offensive partisanship. Meet meet at the eomelery at 2 o'clock." Finally, Nero overdid this thing and ran it into the ground. He did not want to be disliked, so those who disliked him were killed. This made people timid and muzzled the press a good deal. # The Roman papers in those days were all on one side. They did not dare to be fearless and outspoken for fear that Nero would take out his ad. So they would confine themselves to the statement that: "The genial and urbane Afranius Burrhus had painted his new and recherche picket fence last week," or, "Our enterprising fellow townsman, CtesarKersikes, will remove the tail of his favorite bulldog next week, if the weather should be auspicious," or "Miss Agrippina Bangoline, eldest daugh ter or tfomuius .Bangonne, me great xvuujuu rinkist, will teach the school at Eupatorium, Tr; foliatum Holler, this summer. She is a highly accomplished young lady, and a good speller." Nero got more and more fatal as he grew older, and finally the Romans began to wonder whether he would not wipe out the Empire befor he died. His back vard was full all the time of people who had dropped in to be killed, so that they could have it off their minds. Finally Nero himself yielded to the g^eat strain that had been placed upon him, and, in the midst of an insurrection in Gaul, Spain, and Rome itself he tied and killed himself. The Romans were very grateful, for Nero's great crowning act in the killing line, but they were dissatisfied because he delayed it so long, and therefore they refused to erect a tall monument over his remains. While they admired the royal suicide, and regarded! it as a success, they censured Nero's negligence and poor judgment in suiciding at the wrong end of his reign. I have often wondered what Nero would have done if he had been Emperor of the United States for a few weeks and felt as sensitive to newspaper criticism as he seems to have been. Wouldn't it be a picnic to see Nero cross the Jersey ferry to kill off a a few journalists who had adversely criticised his course? The great violin virtuoso and lightweigh Roman tyrant would prob ably go home by return mail, wrapped in tinfoil, accompanied by a note of regret from each journalist of New York, closing with the remark that "in the midst of life we are in death, therefore now is the time to subscribe." On His Mettle.?He was telling it to his Honor at the Police Court yesterday. Said he: "Well, you know, I went home about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Wife was there. I chucked her under the chin tender-like and, says I: "Molly, who runs this shanty?' "And she speaks up very promptly and says: "'Samuel, It's a woman about my size, and don't you forget it!' " 'Pshaw !' says I. " 'Dead fact!' says she. "And I chucks her under the chin again, not quite so tender this time and says: " 'Molly, I can do you up in about two minutes.' "And she doesn't wait a second to answer : " 'Samuel, that's where you are lame. I'm the better man." " 'Get out!' says I.

"I was looking for the hospital," said the fellow. IWisceUancottS fUatfatg. THE WAR IN KENTUCKY. . I THE STATE MILITIA ORDERED TO SUPPORT THE CIVIL AUTHORITIES. A dispatch of July 5th from Morehead, | Kentucky, says: Promptly at ten o'clock J last night the taps were beaten and lights put out, and all the troops not on guard retired on their arms, hoping for a night's rest, but prepared for any emergency. The j pickets around the encampment grounds I were increased, and also the pickets placed around the house of Craig Toliver. A brav| er and more vigilant lot of soldiers were never on duty than those last night. Capt. I Strothers was in command of the guard at J Toliver's house, and Capt. J. Speed Smith ! was the officer of the day. The house in ! which Toliver is guarded is situated on the pTayed, "i'il Meet You When the Sun Goes Down." This occasioned a great deal of adverse criticism on the part of those who opposed the admit istration. Several persons openly criticised Nero's policy and then died. A man in those days would put on his overcoat in the morning, and tell his wife not to keep dinner waiting. "I am going down town to criticise the Emperor a few moments," he would say. "If I do not get home in time for dinner, meet me on the evergreen shore." Nero, after the death of Octavia, married Poppwa Sabina. She died afterward at her husband's earnest solicitation. Nero did not care so much about being a bridegroom, but the excitement of being a widower always gratified and pleased him. He was a very zealous monarch, and kept ti ,1 ?

A man could wrestle with the yellow fever, or the smallpox, or the Asiatic cholera, and stand a chance for recovery, but when he spoke sarcastically of Nero it was good-bye John. When Nero decided that a man was an wn?.fioQn f man wnillH (rPflPfft 1 railroad, and only a lew nunureu ieet irom the depot. About eleven o'clock last night a pistol-shot was distinctly heard upon the encampment grounds. Thereupon the long roll was immediately sounded, and the three companies fell into line. The Cerro Gordo and Winchester Guards were left on the encampment grounds under the command of Capt. J. Speed Smith, and the Irvine Rifles, under command of Major McKee, ran in double quick time to the guarded house, and they arrived there with their rifles loaded, cartridge boxes filled and prepared for any emergency. Within two minutes of the firing of the shot no other shot was fired, and nothing more was heard. After remaining at the house for some time the Irvine Guards were marched back to | the Courthouse, and the companies broke ranks. The guards watched vigilantly the rest of the night which passed quietly away. No attack is anticipated either from the friends or enemies of the parties under arrest, but if one is made the attacking party will most assuredly have a splendid opportunity of trying the hardness of S. G. bullets. Major McKee is a most excellentcommanding officer, and neither he nor his men can be surprised. The examining trials will begin to-morrow, and many developments are expected. Some of the prisoners under arrest are very young, which is a very striking fact. The guards were increased and everybody on the alert because of various rumors on the streets yesterday, some believing that an attempt would be made to rescue the prisoners, and especially Toliver, and others expecting an attack from the Martin faction. The "Rowan war," as it is termed, is an outgrowth of the old Underwood-Holbrook feud. The following graphic story of the trouble was told by a Kentucky officer on Saturday: John Martin, who heads one of the factions, was indirectly at the bottom of the Underwood war, during which no less than thirty men lost their lives and the male members of the Underwood family were all killed. Martin is the son of a respectable farmer and he was at one time Clerk of the Rowafi county Court and the proprietor of a large store at Morehead, the county seat. Early in 1877 Martin fell into bad company, and in a few months dissipation and cards compelled him to give up his store. Shortly after his failure in business he was accused of falsifying and mutilating the records of the county court in the interest of a rising politician who was known to be his friend, and the fact being pretty well established he was defeated for the office at the next election. In the spring of 1876 Martin was arrested in Mason county for horse stealing, and being released on bail, went back to Rowan. Old George Underwood, the father of the Underwood boys, lived at Olive Hill, which is just across the line in Carter county. He rented Martin a piece of land and the latter began to make a crop, living meanwhile at Underwood's house, whither he had brought his young wire, une mgnt some norses were stoien in the neighborhood and 'Squire Elijah Holbrook, who was Underwood's nearest neighbor, accused John Martin and Jesse Underwood of stealing them. He consulted his friends and after several meetings a notice was sent to old man Underwood that Martin must go. Martin's wife was sick and Underwood told him he could stay until she got better. This defiance of the orders of Judge Lynch incensed the Hoi brooks and war was declared. Several of the Underwood boys were shot down, old man Underwood's house was besieged and Jesse, his favorite son, was compelled to take to the bush. The section of country in which this happened is heavily timbered, rough and rocky. Bodies of armed men swearing allegiance to one or the other of the two factions patrolled the country and skirmishes and battles were of daily occurrence. The Governor ordered two companies of State troops to the scene, but they were powerless to quell the disturbance. The Holbrooks insisted that the Underwoods and their friends must leave Kentucky and the latter were equally determined to stay. For two years the Holbrooks kept up the siege and George Underwood's double log house became famous as "Fort Underwood." One night in 1880 the old man ventured out into the yard to secure an armful of wood. He was fired upon and severely wounded. Jessie was in the bush and word j was sent to him that his father was wounded. The next night he stealthily approached the house, but was discovered by the Holbrooks and shot down just as he was entering the door. The women dragged his helpless body into the room amid a shower of lead. llefore morning he died, and when his young wife gave utterance to a loud wail of agony and the other women joined her with loud cries of grief the listening Holbrooks set up an exultant shout and discharged their rifles. They posted notices on the trees along the road warning everybody, on pain of death, to keep away from Fort Underwood, and no one was found brave enough to disobey the mandate of Judge Lynch. For three days and nights the weeping women and children in the old log house kept guard over the dead body of their kinsman, and old George Underwood, desnerately wounded, clutched his rifle with a firm hand and refused to surrender. On the fourth night a party of masked men came to the door of the house and de I iimuufu auiiiumua. "We learn that Jesse is dead," said the | leader, and we want to see if it is so. | If he is really dead, we will go awav and there will be no more fighting;." Old man Underwood would have defied I them, but the women prevailed upon him to treat with the party outside, and he finally agreed to handout his arms and open the door to them, they promising not to molest anyone if Jessie were really dead. I .Seven of the men entered the house, and one of them lifting theeloth from Jesse UnI derwood's face identified him as the dread| ed outlaw. Old George Underwood sat on i the bed, watching them. His little grand! daughter nestled beside him, holding his i hand. The invading party disguised their ] voices, but the old man recognized one of ! them and called him by name. With an i oath the brutal ruffian stepped up behind | Underwood and emptied both barrels of his i shotgun into the defenseless man's body. He fell forward into the arms of his grandchild without a groan, and with jest and a wild hurrah the murderers fled from the house. For the time being hostilities were susnorlcrl am] tho M-nmun and children nf dead Underwoods left that section of Kentucky. John Martin took up his headquarters at a moonshine distillery on Possum Ridge, overlooking the little village of Confederate X Roads, now known as Liking City. He was arrested several times for illicit distilling, but always managed to evade the penalty when brought to trial. About three months ago he quarreled with one of the Underwood faction at Morehead, 1 the county seat, and shot the latter dead. The war re-opened, and since that time Rowan county has been at the mercy of two lawless factions, thirsting for each others' blood. The sheriff of the county and the marshal of Morehead have been killed and it is estimated that nine out of every ten men in the county take sides with one or the other of the two factions. It is to disperse these rioters and restore order, that the Kentucky troops will march into Rowan. As one of the Louisville men said the other night: "We have been playing soldier here. When we get back home we'll go at it in earnest." SIXTH REGIMENT SURYIYORS. There was a large meeting of the Chester division of the survivors of the Sixth Regiment. S. C. V., at the Court House in Chester, on the 6th instant. The President, Lieut. C. W. McFadden, stated the objects of the meeting to be expressed in the published call; viz., the election of officers, and to provide for the annual reunion of the Regiment in August. Unfinished business being called for, on motion of W. A. Sanders, the committee in charge of this matter was continued, with instructions to report to the president of division at the regimental reunion in August, The election for officers to serve for the ensuing year resulted in the re-election, by I acclamation, of the former officers, C. W. McFadden, President; O. A. Wylie and H. S. Hardin, Vice-Presidents; John H. Buchanan, Secretary; R. W. Strieker, Treasurer. \V. A. Sanders read a telegram from Col. Jas. H. Jtion, annoucning rates of railroad fare to Seven Pines, as follows: For one hundred men $10.50 each; for two hundred and sixty men, $5.75 each. The following resolution offered by Maj. E. C. McLure was adopted: Resolved, That survivors of all commands engaged in the late war fro in Chester, York, Lancaster and Fairfield counties are invited to join with us in the excursion to the battlo fields around Richmond in August next, and that the relatives of surviving or deceased comrades be also invited to join us on said occasion, they paving their own expenses and subjecting themselves to such discipline as may be ordered for the survivors of the 6th Regiment. Maj. McLure also offered the following resolution: Resolved, that all persons who intend to take part with this division in the excursion to Richmond, Ya.,of the survivors of the 6th Regiment, be requested to give their names at as early a day as possible, not later than the 20th instant, to John H. Buchanan, Esq., Secretary, in order that arrangements may be made for their transportation, and those who report prior to or on that day shall have precedence in case there should "be any deficiency of transportation; and that persons so reporting should state whether they are willing to go with only 100, or not unless the 260 is made up. The resolution was adopted. On motion of W. A. Sanders, the Lee Light Infantry, of Chester, the Cordon Light Infantry, of Winnsboro, and the Sandy ltiver Band were cordially invited to join in the excursion to Richmond. W. A. Sanders moved that a committee of two members of this division be appointed by the president, subject to the direction of the executive committee of the Regimental association, said conmiiitee to act in concurrence with a similar committee of the Fairfield division ; this joint committee to proceed to Richmond to make necessary arrangements for the reunion at Seven Pines. The motion was adopted and Capt. W. T. I). Cousar and Lieut. J. S. Drennan were appointed a committee from the Chester division. The meeting .then adjourned. . "African Sunshine."?Those who remember Mark Twain's remark about the African belles will be interested in Mr. Stanley's description of African sunshine as given in his new book on the Congo country: African sunshine always appears to me, with all its great heat, to be a kind of superior moonlight, judging from its effects on scenery. Once or twice in this book I write of "solemn-looking" hills. I can only attribute this apparent solemnity to the peculiar sunsnine. It deepens the shadows, and darkens the dark-green foilage of the forest, while it imparts a wan appearance or cold reflection of light to naked slopes and woodless hilltops. Its effect is a chill austerity? an indescribable solemnity?a repelling unsociability. Yoursympathiesare not warmed by it; silence has set its seal upon it; before it you become speechless. Gaze your utmost on the scene, admire it as you may, worship it as you will, but your love is not needed. Speak not of grace or of loveliness in connection with it.

Hampton in Washington.?A Washington dispatch of Friday to the News and Courier says: Senator Hamptom in a quiet way is looking into the Charleston collectorship business. He called at the treasury department and carefully examined several papers on file in the case. When he had obtained the information he desired he proceeded toSecretary Manning's room, and was closeted with the secretary for some time. Your correspondent asked the Senator if there were any new developments in the case. He replied that he was endeavoring to obtain some information on that subject, but he would not give out anything he learned. When asked whom he considered the most acceptable candidate, he said they were all good men, but he declined to say whom he would recommend if the President or the secretary should ask his advice on the subject. A new candidate, in the person 01 ;ur. ?. T. Williams, has entered the field and I am informed that his papers were examined by Senator Hampton to-day. Congressman Dibble has not been here for over two weeks and is not expected here soon. How Men of Iron are Killed.?People know nothing about each other. Every man is a globe, a natural history to himself. When we have beaten every enemy outside of us, there arises unseen enemies within us. You see the powerful horse go to the field every day and take his place at the plow, and one day you find him dead, and you ask what the trouble might have been. The horse could not speak, but the doctor comes along and tells you that he had the bots. You ask what the hots may be. Pots you find are some kind of insects that are propagated within the animal, feeding upon his health and life. .So it is with men at work, when they are apparently most healthy some unknown species of I thing seems to want to prey upon them, j if for nothing else than because of such | abundant health. We slay the fattest steer; j the noblest sheep we want upon our plate. Therefore, strong, sensible men are often I the victims of the commercial necessities ot : life and wear themselves down and out when everybody else is wondering how they j procured such an iron fabric. The Physiology of Perspiration.? j There are probably 2,500,000 sweat-glands ! belonyins-to each human beimr. the object i of the existence of this perspiratory system j j being to remove the excess of water and j noxious gases and to regulate the tempera- j I ture of the body.

The i blood would rush to the lungs and cause ! congestion, or to the throat or to the stomach, or other parts, which would become at i | once affected.

In the first chapter of the gospel according to John, at the eleventh verse, these words are found: "He came unto his own, and his own received him not." The words which are translated "his own" in both clauses of this verse are different in that in the first clause the neuter gender is used, while in the second clause the masculine gender is preferred. A literal and more correct translation would be, "Hecameunto his own uronertv. and his own people re ceived him not." In these words Jesus Christ is declared to be the sovereign proprietor of all men and all things. This is simply one of many ways by which he is declared to be God equal with the Father. By "his own," meaning "his own people," the reference is primarily to the Jews. According to the flesh, Jesus Christ was the seed of Abraham. This declares his humanity. In this short sentence we have a positive declaration that Jesus Christ is both human and divine. He is God-man, two natures in one person. In addition to this, we have in this verse, a statement, in simple language, of the reception which Jesus Christ received by his own people, the Jews. "They received him not." That Is they rejected him. This was in perfect harmony with the prediction of Isaiah. "He is despised and rejected of men." It seems strange that the Jews rejected Jesus Christ. During the whole of their national existence they had been accustomed to marvelous displays of Divine interposition in their behalf. Not only so, but for generations, as a people, they had been looking forward to the arrival of that long predicted period when Shiloh would come. The sceptre had actually departed from Judah, ana the lawgiver from between his feet, and as a nation they were in a fit condition, both spiritually and politically, to flock to any one who proposed to bring them deliverance from their thralcfom. The miraculous circumstances attending the birth of Jesus Christ were such as to make a deep and lasting impression upon any mind, but especially upon the mind of a Jew. There was a publicity about his birth which was very unusual, and "his star in the east," and the "presenting of gold, frankincense and myrrh, by the wise men of the east," must have been known by a large number of the ??i? rnv,? utrupic. j. 11c until ui uwun \^uiiot umut Herod tremble for his government. It is probable that Jesus Christ was looked upon with favor by the common people, until the period when his public ministrations began. We are told that "the child Jesus grew and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom." Again it is said, "Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man." By the rulers of the Jews, Jesus was despised and rejected. That Herod would despise Jesus is no more wonderful than that Saul hated David, or Jezebel sought to slay Elijah. Herod no doubt reasoned selfishly and concluded that the success of Jesus would result in wresting the government of Judea out of his hands. In fact, Herod had nothing to fear. Jesus did not propose to deprive nira, or any one else, of any rightful authority he enjoyed. Strange as it may appear, Jews and Gentiles, Pharisees and Sadducees, friends and foes, all agreed to despise and reject Jesus Christ. What the Jews did near nineteen centuries ago, the human family are doing to-day in every land in which Christ is preached. The mass of the Jews still reject him, and the mass of the Gentiles treat him with a cold, formal indifference which is little less than persecution. If it be asked why is this? tne only satisiactory answer wnicn can oe given is that the human family is dead in trespasses and sins. In our unregenerated state there is to us nothing in Jesus Christ that is desirable. "Ye must be born again" is the announcement which Jesus made to ! Nicodemus and which he makes to-day to every member of the human lamily. As a nation the Jews will continue to reject Jesus until they are born again, and the Gentiles will continue "to care for none of these things," which pertain to truth and salvation until they are quickened by God's holy Spirit into life. When Paul, a prisoner at Rome, preached the gospel to his countrymen, the result of his preaching is briefly stated in these words: "Some believed the things which were spoken and some believed not." This is exactly the condition of things to-day. Wherever the gospel is preached some believe and some believe not. Some accept the offers of mercy while others reject them. To some Jesus Christ is "the chiefest among ten thousand, the one altogether lovely;" to others, he is only "the carpenter's son." To reject evil or an evil person is wise, but not to accept the good when it is offered, is consummate folly. Time has demonstrated the rejecting of Jesus Christ by the Jews to have been an act of unparalleled folly. Their standing as a nation began to decline rapidly with Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. At the time of our Saviour it had reached the climax of ruin, and to-day "The wild dove hath her nest, the fox his cave, Mankind their country?Israel the grave." Politically, the opposition which the Jews set up against Jesus Christ amounted to very little. They had the malice, but not the power, to nut him to death. The spread of the gospel has been but little retarded by the Jews. A people who for twenty centuries have been without a country, and who hold themselves separate and distinct from the rest of mankind?a people who exist by sufferance?can have very little influence, either for or against Jesus Christ. The active enemies of the Lamb of God to-day are Gentiles. "Of the Jews five times Paul received forty stripes save one," but Paul and thousands of other Christians were cruelly put to death by Gentile persecutors. The most open rejecters of Jesus Christ, and the most bitter and actiVe opposers of the gospel of Jesus Christ are Gentiles. When we consider the carnality of the human heart, and the fact that Christ demands that, in order to be his disciples, we must give up all ungodliness and fleshly lusts and live lives of holiness, the wonder is not that Christ has so few followers, but that he has any followers at all. The bringing of prodigals to themselves and starting them back to God is a marvel of grace. It is a consoling fact that although Jesus Christ always hqs had enemies?has them to-day?still the triumphs of the cross arc seen and felt in every land. To-day the banner of Jesus Christ floats over the strongholds of sin and Satan. Were Jesus living visibly in this world to-day there is not a court on earth which would dare condemn him, and there is not a potentate beneath the sun who would dare to nail him to the 1iic ^\/>uiuuigiu w* uiu tiuuu 10 vii the shoulders of him who was despised and rejected. Stair Those who enjoy the example and instruction of pious parentsare highly favored by(Jod. The influence of a pious mother over her children is very great. The human heart rarely reaches that degree of hardness and rarely makes such progress in malicious wickedness that the example of a pious mother is forgotten or her prayers and instructions wholly neglected. The impression still remains if for no other purpose than to arouse a sleeping conscience. The most instructive lessons many of the great and good men of the world in all ages ever learned, were those taught them by their mothers, when they were prattling children. It was between their mother's knees that they learned the great cardinal doctrines of the Christian religion. It was there that they learned the Bible doctrine of original sin and actual transgression. It was there they learned to love the Saviour. How thankful should those children be who have pious parents. It is consoling to the careworn soldier of the cross that he follows a leader who will at last gain for him a permanent victory and crown him with a crown of glory. We can form some notion of what is meant by a crown of gold or by a crown of thorns, but we know not what is meant by a crown of glory. We know not what we shall be; all we certainly know is that when we awake after our slumber in the grave we shall be like our Redeemer. "I shall be satisfied when I awake in his likeness," says the Psalmist. ibe <?uquim.

Sonic ton yonr-i a no I had a scrofulous sore on my rijrlit J hand which gave rno groat ironlilo, and under the oldtime treatment was healed up, and I supposed I was well. I found, however, it had only been driven into my system by the use of potash and mercury, and in March, 1882, it j broke out in my throat and concentrated in what some of the doctors denominated cancer. I wns placed under treatment for tills disease. Some six or seven of the best physicians in the country had me at different times I ; under their charge, among them three specialists In this j line; but one alter another would exhaust their skill and dm,, mi. fur I nrow worse continually. The cancer had eaten through my cheek, destroying the roof of my j mouth and upper lip, then attacked my tongue, palate, and lower lip, destroying the palate and under lip entirely and half my tongue, eating out to the top or my left cheek hone and up to the left eye. From a healthy, robust woman of 1.10 pounds, I was reduced to a mere frame of skin and hones, almost unable to turn myself | ill lied. I could not eat any solid food, but subsisted on i liquids, and my tongue was so far gone I could not talk. The anguish of mind and the horrible sufferings of body which I experienced never can be revealed. Given up by physicians to die, with no hope of recovery upon the part of friends who sat around iny bedside expecting every moment to be my last; in fact, my husband would place his hand upon me every now and then to see whether I was alive, or not, and atone time all decided that life was extinct, and my death was reported all over the country. Such was my wretched and helpless condition the first of last October (188-1), when my friends commenced giving Swift's Specific. In less than a month the eating places stopped and healing commenced, and the fearful aperture in my cheek lias been closed and firmly knitted together. A process of a new under lip is progressing finely, and the tongue, which was almost destroyed, is being recovered, and it seems that nature is supplying j a new tongue. I can talk so that my friends can readily understand me and can eat solid food again. I am able to walk about wherever 1 please without the assistance of any one, and have gained fifty pounds of flesh. All this, under the blessing of a mercifully Heavenly Fcther is due to Swift's Specific. I am a wonder and a marvel to all my friends, hundreds of whom have known my intense sufferings,and havefisited lite in my afflictions. While 1 am not entirely well, yet my gratitude is none the less devout, and I am confident that a perfect recovery is now in sight, if any doubt these facts, I would refer them to Hon. John H. Taylor, State Senator, of this district, who is my neighbor, Dr. T. S. Brad field, of LaGrange, Ga., or to any persons living in the southern part of Troupe county, Ga. MRS. MARY L. COMKR.
