How Mr. Davis was Put in Clains.
On the morning of the 23d of May, a
bitter trial was in store for the proud
spirit?a trial severer probably, than has
ever in modem times been inflicted upon
any who had enjoyed such eminence.
This morning Jefferson Davis was ohac
keled.
It was while all the swarming
camps of the armies of the Potomac,
the Tennessee and Georgia?over two
hundred thousand bronzed and lau?
reled veterans?were preparing for the
grand review of the nest morning, in
which, passing in endless succession be?
fore the mansion of the President, the
conquering military power of the nation
was to lay down its arms at the feet of
the civil authority, that the following
scene was enacted at Fort Monroe:
Capt. Jerome E. Titlow, of the Third
Pennsylvania Artillery, entered the pris?
oner's cell, followed by the blacksmith of
the fort and his assistant, the latter car?
rying in his hands some heavy and 1
harshly rattling shackles. As they en- :
tered, Mr. Davis was reclining on his
bed, feverish and weary, after a sleepless 1
night, the food placed near him the pre- !
ceding day untouched on his tin plate ;
near his bedside.
Well ? said Mr. Davis, as they entered,
slightly raising his head.
? I have an unpleasant duty to perform,
sir, said Captain Titlow; and as he spoke '
the senior blacksmith took the shackles \
from his assistant.
Davis leaped instantly from his reenm
face for a moment, and then Ins counten?
ance growing as livid and rigid as death.
He gasped for breath, clutching his
throat with the thin fingers of his right
bent attitude,
le, a flush
his
aand, ana tuen recovering nimseu siowiy,
while his wasted figure towered up to its j
full height?now appeariog to'swell with 1
indignation and then to shrink with ter- 1
?or, as he glanced from the Captain's 1
"ace to the shackles?he said slowly and '
ivith a laboring chest:
My God! Yon cannot have been sent I
?iron me? .
Such are my orders, sir, replied the
officer, beckoning the blacksmith to ap- 1
preach, who stepped forward, unlocking j
the padlock ana preparing the fetters to
Jo their office. These fetters were of j
heavy iron, probably five-eights of an '
iuch in thickness, ana connected together j
jy a chain of like weight. I believe they 1
ire now in the possession of Major Gen- 1
;ral Miles, and will form an interesting 1
relic.
This is too monstrous, groaned the 1
prisoner, glaring hurriedly round the (
room, as if for some weapon, or means 1
)f 3eff-destructiou. I demand, Captain, !
;hat you let me see the commanding of- '
ice. Can he pretend that such shackles ]
ire required to secure the safe custody of
i weak old man, so guarded and in such 1
l fort as this'1 !
It would serve to no purpose, replied 1
Oaptain Titlow; his orders are from 1
Washington, as mine are from him.
But he can telegraph, interposed Mr. !
Davis, eagerly; there must be some mis- 1
take. No such outrage as you threaten
ne with is on record in the history of 1
lations. Beg him to telegraph, and de- :
lay until he receives an answer. 3
My orders are peremptory, said the '
)fficer, and admit of no delay. For your i
>wn sake, let me advise you to submit 3
,vith patience. As a soldier, Mr. Davis, i
r'ou know I must execute orders.
These are not orders for a soldier, 1
ihouted the prisoner, losing all control
>f himself. They are orders for a jailor 1
?for a hangman, which no soldier, wear- 1
ng a sword should accept I I tell you <
be world will ring with this disgrace. <
rhe war it over: the South is conquered. '
r i- T.?? ? ??.? I?. A ??. 1
l utkvc uu luugci any luuuuj uui auiu
ica, and it is for the honor of America, 1
is for my own honor and life, that I :
plead against this degradation. Kill me I I
bill me! he crLi passionately, throwing
Iiis arms wide open and exposing his
breast, rather than inflict on me-and my
people through me this insult, worse than |
leath.
Do your duty, blacksmith, said the of
5cer, walking toward the embrasure as if
not caring to witness the performance. '
[t only gives increased pain on all sides
to protract this interview.
At these words the blacksmith ad?
vanced with the shackles, and seeing that
the prisoner had one foot upon the chair
near his bedside, his right hand resting j
)n the back of it, the brawny mechanic i
nade an attempt to slip one of the shac- 1
des over tho ankle so raised; but with 1
the vehemence and power which frenzy '
done can impart, even to the weakest 1
individual, Mr. Davis suddenly seized his
assailant and hurled him half way across 1
the room.
On this Captain Titlow turned, and !
seeing that Davis had backed against the
trail for further resistance, began to re
monstrate, pointing out in brief, clear 1
language that this course was madness,
md that the order must be enforced at !
my cost Why compel me, he added, to
ldd the further indignity of personal
violence to the necessity of your being
xoned?
I am a prisoner of war, fiercely retorted
Vir. Davis; I have been a soldier in the 1
irmies of America, and know how to die.
Dnly kill me, and my last breath shall
3e a blessing on your head. But while I ;
save life and strength to resist, for my?
self and for my people, this thing ?hall i
lot be done.
Hereupon Captain Titlow called in a '
Sergeant and file of soldiers from the
next room, and the Sergeant advanced 1
to seize the prisoner. Immediately Mr.
Davis flew on him and seized his musket
and attempted to wrench it from bis
jrasp.
Of course such a scene could have but
one issue. There was a short, passionate
scuffle. In a moment Davis was flung
upon his bed, and before his four power?
ful assailants removed their hands from
him the blacksmith and his assistant had
done their work?one securing the rivet
on the right ankle while the other turned
the key in the padlock on the left.
This done, Mr. Davis lay for a moment
as if in a stupor. Then slowly raising
himself and turning round, he dropped
his shackled feet to the floor.
The harsh clank of the striking chain
seems first to have recalled him to his
situation, and dropping his face into his
hands, he burst into a passionate flood of
sobbing, rocking to ana fro, and mutter?
ing at brief intervals: Oh, the shame!
the shame I
It may here be stated, tLough out of
its due order?that we may get rid in
haste of an unpleasant subject?Mr.
Davis some months later, when frequent
visits had made him more free to con?
verse, gave a curious explanation of the
last feature in this incident.
He had been speaking of suicide, and
denounced it as the worst form of cow?
ardice and folly. Life is not like a com?
mission that we can resign when disgus?
ted with the service. Taking it by your
own hand is a confession of judgment to
all that your worst enemies can allege.
It has often flashed against me as a
tempting remedy for neuralgic torture;
but, thank God, I never sought my own
death but once, and then when com?
pletely frenzied, and not master of my
actions. When they came to iron me
that day, as a last resource of despera?
tion, I seized a soldier's musket and at?
tempted to wrench it from his bands,
hopiDg that in the scuffle and surprise
some of his comrades would shoot or
bayonet me. A
A WIFE'S FIDELITY.
A Reunion After, u Separation of Twenty
Five Years.
There is now living in this city a lady
whose life so far has been filled with
more real romance than are the most del?
icately wrought characters of fiction.
Twenty-five years ago she was married
to a man who like herself was in humble
though respectable life. Their court?
ship had been pleasant, and for aught
the lady knows, harmonious and mutu?
ally agreeable. On the day following
the wedding, however, the husband left
home without any apparent reason or
any warning whatever. The wife merely
supposed at the time that business had
90on return. Days, weeks, months, years
passed before she was aware that she was
a deserted and wronged woman. She
beard nothing from him, but could not
entertain the idea that he was dead, and
instinctively believed that she would
again see him. And just as she became
convinced that she was deserted her mar
iyrdom began. She was thrown entirely
upon her own resources for subsistence,
and they were simply honest toil, a liv?
ing faith in the reward of duty-doing,
and a great self-sacrificing spirit. Thus
she toiled on never hearing a word from
her husband for many years, but still
slinging to the strict and self-imposed
duty of silent forbearance. One day
after eight years she accidentally met
him but he failed to recognize her. She
iid not speak to him, but learned from
others that since his departure he had
led a roving life, and had been in every
State in the Union. Now that she knew
he lived and yet did nothing tojaid her in
her battle of life her action toward him,
herself and the world remained unchang?
ed. And just here she exhibited to a
;reat degree her almost saintly charac?
ter, for instead of accepting any of the
numerous advantageous offers of mar?
riage which she might have done, she si?
lently did her everyday work, bearing his
name and cherishing the same affection
for him that induced her to become his
fvife.
There was another long time that she
neither saw nor heard from him. But
late seemed to favor her, and again she
net him by accident. He acted pleased
/} see her, told her what he had been
doing, that he was still her husband, but
aever referred to his strange departure,
nor offered her any means of support.
Their conversation was a brief one, and
they parted without enmity. Neither
bad an idea of the plans of the other,
nor asked to know. The next that the
wife knew of her husband was learned
from a newspaper. There she saw].that
he had been arrested for leading the Fe?
nian riots in Canada, and was sentenced
to be hung. A subsequent report in?
formed her that his sentence was com?
muted to six years' imprisonment. Du?
ring those six years she retained her love
for him and clung to the faith that her
constancy would eventually be recog?
nized and appreciated. After the man
was let out from the prison cell he again
became an adventurer and again acci?
dentally met bis wife. He said to her,
"What did you think when you saw me
sentenced to be hung?" She replied, "I
supposed you would be hung." A short
interview, in which neither learned the
plans of the other, was the result of the
meeting. And again be was off. After
several more years they'again met, recog?
nized, but passed by in silence.
Strange as has been the first act of this
comedy of curious actions, the sequel is
still stranger. Last February the wife
received a letter from her erratic hus?
band, in which he begged for forgivness,
and asked her to go to Washington and
live with him. He is in the govern?
ment employ, and she has consented, and
will start for her new home in Septem?
ber.
Twenty-five years elasped between the
lay of the wedding and the receipt of
the letter. During that time she never
ceased to love him and he had never
commenced to love her. Neither ever
tried to obtain a divorce. The lady is
the picture of health. The man was a
fine-looking fellow when he was married,
and had jet black hair. To-day he is
much thinner and his hair is almost
white.
As dream-like and unnatural as all this
may seem, it is asserted to be true by a
responsible and highly esteemed young
lady, whose relations with the wife gave
her the means of knowing the particu?
lars of the extraordinary romance.?Mil

Desperate Attempt to Escape Jail.
On Sunday, about 3 p. m., T. V. Skel?
ton, our efficient jailor, went up in the
ia.il to feed the prisoners. On account of
the extreme heat he allowed the prison?
ers to stay out in the hall of the jail du?
ring the day time, putting them in the
cells at night. There were two negroes
in the upper department, Henry Thomas
and Jack Bowers. After he had given
them their dinner he went after water for
them. When he got back to the jail,
Will Pullman (col.), who desired to give
George Derritt some cakes, asked permis?
sion to enter, which was granted. George
is confined down stairs, and Will remain?
ed there talking to George through the
bars. Skelton went up stairs and opened
the door of the hall and bent slightly for?
ward to set the water on the floor, and
noticed that Jack Bowers was eating.
At this moment Henry Thomas, who had
secreted himself just behind the door,
reached forward aud clasped his hands
in a deadly grip around Skelton's throat
and Jack ran forward to help Henry.
They choked Skelton until he gradually
gave way, and they all tumbled down
stairs together, Henry still clinging to
Skelton's throat, and Jack ran his hands
in Skelton's pockets to get the key of the
outside door, which Skelton takes the
precaution to lock. They failed to get
the key, however, as Skelton bides the
key elsewhere than on his person. Will
Pullman, who had brought the cakes to
George, than ran to the rescue of Skel?
ton and pulled Jack away, and in the
very nick of time, as Jack had one of
the large iron locks with, which he was
about to crush the head of Skelton.
While all this was going on Major Skel?
ton, who was walking across the square,
heard the noise and ran to see what the
matter was. Will Pullman then cried
out "Yonder comes plentv of help 1" and
Henry loosened his hold and both the
rascals ran for their cells in double quick
time and covered themselves up with
their quilts. Skelton was just behind
them, and in a twinkling they were
locked up safe as rats in a trap.
Great praise is due jailor Skelton for
his bravery and the heroic enduranco he
displayed in the determination to die
rather than let the prisoners escape. He
.says the first thought that flashed across
his mind when they were choking him
was that he would die in his tracks be?
fore he would give up the keys. Credit
is also due Will Pullman for his timely
assistance; but if Major Skelton had not
come so promptly to the scene, it is more
than probable that the prisoners would
have made their escape. Heretofore Mr.
Skelton has treated these two prisoners
with the most humane kindness, and has
fed them on just such food as he has on
his own table. We think they should
hereafter be fed on strict jail diet?bread
and water?and in very limited quanti?
ties at that.?Hartwcll (Ga.) Sun.

Thoughts for the Mouth.
Summer crops being kid aside, au?
tumn crops at once claim attention. The
ground during this month being general?
ly dry and hard, everything should be in
readiness to speed the ploughs whenever
a shower of rain falls. Have ploughs
sharpened, gear put in order and every?
thing ready to hitch up at a moment's
notice. Stop at once everything else
which interferes, as soon as rain comes.
Clover, turnip, rye and barley land needs
to be put in finest tilth by the middle of
September, and there is no time to lose.
Plough, cross-plough, harrow and drag
whenever the land is iu order. Haul
out manure (stable or compost) at once,
so that no mule will be kept out of the
plough after rain falls. Some farmers
seldom fail to get these crops started in
good time?others fail oftener than they
succeed, and the cry is "bad luck," no
rain, whilst the truth is, good or bad
management is at the bottom of it all.
One looks well ahead and makes his ar?
rangements accordingly?the other looks
little beyond the end of his nose, and is
never ready when the golden moment
arrives.
We publish in this number a very
timely article from the experienced gar?
dener, Mr. Peter Henderson, on firming
the soil as a means of encouraging the
germination and growth of seeds in dry
weather. We have repeatedly noticed
facts such as he describes in our own ex?
perience, and have for years adopted the
plan of pressing small seeds down in the
drill, either by foot or with the edge of a
thick plank. The past spring, in plant?
ing some corn when the earth was quite
dry, we had the droppers step upon the
grains as they dropped them, ana the re?
sult was one of the best stands of corn
we ever had. In broad casting seed, the
"firming" can only be done by passing a
heavy roller over the land after the seed
are ploughed, harrowed or brushed in?a
practice long and heartily advocated by
the best farmers in grain and grass grow?
ing countries.
Our readers will not be offended if we
urge upon them to devote quite a large
area to fall crops?a country afflicted
with such disastrous summer droughts as
visit us, ought to push winter crops to
the utmost. These crops are also com?
mended to us by the comparatively small
amount of labor they require?the plant?
ing and the gathering sum up the whole.
A. farmer within our knowledge, by sow?
ing four acres to the mule in oats, made
this year (notwithstanding the dry
spring) enough oats to feed each mule 7
months without other grain or forage,
and an abundance for seed purposes in
addition. Suppose every farmer in tho
South had done likewise, how little corn
would suffice to bridge over another year.
If it has not been done, and the supply
of food is too short to last till next year's
crops are laid by, what then?buy West?
ern corn! By no means?begin at once
to take steps to supply the deficiency by
home grown crops. First give the peas
already planted, all the working needed
to make a full crop, and, when made,
gather and store away in the hull, to be
fed in that state. Where the crop does
not promise a fair yield of seed, cut the
vines and cure them; if mixed with
grass so much the better. If roofing can
be bad, cure in rail or pole pens, making
a floor of same 6 or 8 inches above the
ground, putting in a layer of green vines
2 feet thick, then another floor, then
vines, aud so on, as high as desired. If
roofing cannot be had, put stout stack
poles securely in the ground and, begin?
ning 18 inches from the ground, nail on
cross pieces or arms, decreasing in length
as you go upwards, and Standing off in
every direction like the limbs of a tree.
Blake an open rail floor one foot from
the-ground and build up a stack with the
green vines, shaping and capping it so as
to shed rain. An old fielet pine if con?
veniently situated can be trimmed, leav?
ing the large part of its limbs as arms,
and answer quite as well as the stack
pole. The green vines arranged in
either of above ways, will soon shrink,
and being unable to settle down into a
compact mass, on account of the inter?
vening rails or on account of the arms or
limbs, will cure beautifully; and being
unexposed to the sun will retain their
leaves.
In addition to pea vines, cut and save
all the crab or other grass to be found.
Where long scythes cannot be used (as
in corn fields) get the short stout blades,
known as "bush" blades (not "hooks")
and set them more at right angles on the
snath than you would a regular grass
blade. They can be made (if sharp) to
do very good work in tall tangled grass.
Cut down also and cure in shocks, all
the stalks of corn which have not pro?
duced ears?do this as early as possible.
So much for material already on hand.
Now for crops that may be planted and
utilized early next season.
Clover stands at the head of the list
?red clover in strong clay and limestone
soils; crimson, California or burr clover
in all soils if rich. The last two are an?
nuals?planted next month they will
flower and produce seed next spring and
then die. For feed early in the spring,
they are probably to be preferred to red
clover, unless one had contemplated sow?
ing the latter for other reasons. The
California clover is not always relished
by stock at first, they must be taught to
eat it?the crimson is fully as palatable
to them as red clover. Put the land in
good tilth, manure heavily with stable
manure, crushed cotton seed or cotton
seed meal and 100 or 150 lbs. of super?
phosphate per acre?and sow of crimson
clover 15 pounds per acre, of Califarnia
clover 3 or 4 bushels per aero (the seed
of the latter being in the burr) and har?
row or brush in aud then roll. By the
first of Maich, or possibly earlier, you
can cut and feed to stock. We do not
recommend lucerne in an emergency,
such as now under consideration, because
it is when young more delicate than the
above plants, and more uncertain the
first season.
The next in value is barley?admirable
both for grazing and soiling?early and
nutritious?furnishing also matured grain
for stock feed earlier than any other crop
we can grow. Can be harvested in May,
from 3 to 4 weeks earlier than oats. The
threshed grain, soaked in water or
crushed in the mill, makes excellent
horse feed. All know it mi/.-'bcsown on
rich land?for grazing 3 to 4 bushels per 1
acre?for seed 2 bushels will answer. ]
The main dependence must, however,
be placed upon oats?sown from 1st Sep- !
temberto middle October, according to
latitude, or again early in January.
Those sown in January will not mature
quite as early as those sown in autumn.
The red rust proof on good land is the
most certain, and at least two bushels
seed per acre should be sown ?on excess- |
ively rich land as much as 4 bushels per i
acre may be sown. The thicker the seed?
ing, the earlier the maturing. Prepare 1
tho land well, feed the crop well, and
don't retard growth by grazing, unless it
be necessary in fall to prevent "jointing"
before the freezes come. Perhaps it
would be well to divide the crops and
take two chances, sowing a part in au- (
tumn and a part in January. The latter <
sowings in our own experience have been ,
very successful.
They have this advantage, that they \
can be made in cotton land, and the seed ;
thoroughly ploughed and harrowed in, i
without iuterfering with the cotton crops.
They can be manured also with cotton
seed without the necessity of killing or |
crushing them. Sow the first open spell j
in January?we have succeeded well, j
however, by sowing as late as tho last ?
week in the month. If sowings are made '?
in cotton fields in September, follow the ,
pickers with the ploughs?Biding the cot?
ton as clean as possible, then sow seed
and cover with sweep or harrow.?South?

Mr. Bowerman Packs His Wife'o
Trunk.?Mr. Bowerman and wife left
for the country yesterday. One could
tell that their trunks were not over half
full, as they were pitched into the bag
rage car with a crash. They began pack?
ing a week ago. When the subject was
broached he said he preferred to pack
bis own trunk, and he didn't propose to
take a whole month to it, either. All he
intended to take along was an extra suit,
ind could throw that in most any way.
Night before last he began work. It
struck him that he'd better put in an ex?
tra pair of boots as a foundation, and he
Sung 'em in and braced 'em in the cor?
ners with his clean shirts. The shirts
iidn't seem to ride very well, and he
braced them with two pairs of trowsers.
Then he stuffed his Sunday coat pockets
tvith collars and cutTs, and found a place
for it, used his white vests for "chink?
ing," and the balance of his clothingjust
?tted in nicely.
"The man who takes over ten minutes
:opack a trunk is a dolt!" said Mr. Bow?
erman, as he slammed down the lid and
aimed the key.
Mrs. Bowerman had been at it just
seven days and seven nights, and when
:he husband went up stairs at 10 o'clock
the sat down before the open trunk with
?ars in her eyes.
"You see how it is," she explained, as
ie looked down upon her in awful con
;empt, "I've got only part of my dresses
n here, to say nothing of a thousand
)ther things, and even now the lid won't
ihut down. I've got such a headache I
nust lie down for a few minutes."
She went awav, and Mr. Bowerman sat
lown and mused:
"Space is space. The use of space is
n knowing how to utilize it."
Removing everything, he began re
jacking. He found that a Bilk dress
:ould be rolled to the size of a quart jug.
k freshly-starched lawn was made to
ake the place of a pair of slippers. Her
>rown bunting fitted into the niche she
lad reserved for three handkerchiefs, and
ier best bonnet was turned bottom up in
ts box and packed full of underclothing.
Ele sat there viewing sufficient empty
ipace to pack in a whole bed when she
eturned and said he was the only real
rood husband in this world, and she
cissed him on the nose as he turned the
cey.
"It's simply the difference between the
lexes," was his patronizing reply as he
vent down stairs to turn on the burglar
ilarm.

A Wonderful Georgia Woman.?
The following particulars we get from
Vir. George C. Watson, living near the
lome of the subject of the sketch: A
ady of the Seventh district of Worth
:ounty has become insane on the subject
>f religion. Her demcntation was first
loticed about a month ago, soon after
;he close of a protracted meeting at
fjnion Baptist church, near her home,
she attended the different services very
?egularly, and seemed deeply impressed
tnd troubled from their first commence
nent. A short while before the. meeting
jlosed 6he joined the church. Going
jack home her incoherent, maddened
ind rambling conduct was noticed by
ier husband and children, and they be?
same terribly excited and wrought up
ibout it. She went raving about the
louse and yard with a bucket of water,
japtising everything in her pathway.
She baptised her husband and each one
)f her children, and while doing this
iang the most beautiful songs?songs
hat she had heard but once or twice.
Although an unlettered woman (herhus
land will swear this,) she reads any
:hapter in the Bible readily, pronounc?
ing correctly and distinctly, paying at?
tention to punctuation points, &c. She
preaches nearly all the while, and our
informant says uses the choicest words
ind displays great wisdom and knowl?
edge in the handling of different sub
ects. Although not a Mason, she knows
ill the mysteries of that mysterious craft
by heart. Dozens of Masons have gone
to see her, and they all come away dumb?
founded. Her husband has come to the
conclusion that she is a witch. She bos
ittempted acts of violence, but as yet
lone no harm. He, with outside assis?
tance, tried at one timo to incarcerate
her in one of the rooms of the house, but
the doors became unmanageable and
wouldn't stay locked. She hasn't slept
in eighteen days and nights, and during
that time has taken but few morsels of
food. This is one of the strangest cases
we have ever heard of. Hundreds are
flocking to see the frenzied woman.?Al?

"Mrss."?A woman who opened a
small millinery store in the western part
of the city, engaged a painter to paint
her a sign. When it came home the
other day she saw that it read: "Mrss.
J. Blank," etc., and she called out:
"You have an extra 'S' in Mrs., and
you must paint the sign over again."
The painter saw the error, but he didn't
want the job of correcting it, and he re?
plied :
"Madam, haven't you had two hus?
bands?"
"Yes, sir."
"You were a Mrs., when you lost the
first?"
"I was."
"And do you think a woman can go
on marrying forever and not lengthen
out her title ? 'Mrss.,' means a married
woman who has been married twice and
is young enough to marry again, and
only yesterday a rich old coon was in
our shop and said if he had any idea that

Fat People's Misfortune.
Some of the savage tribes enter their
dwellings through a hole in the roof, and
when a person becomes so fat that he
cannot get in, he is regarded as an out?
law. Had this system been adopted in the
United States, the "outlaws" could not
have made a more active demand for
Allan's Anti-Fat than now exists. Hun?
dreds who had lived in constant fear of
Budden death have, by its use, been re?
duced to a comfortable living weight.
The Anti-Fat is purely vegetable and
perfectly harmless. Sold by druggists.

of Louisiana. The other night two
white men stole bis horse. Instead of
sitting down under his loss, or writing
to a Republican Congressman, or emi?
grating to Kansas, Mr. Thompson got
?ome of his colored neighbors together,
trailed the thieves, ambushed them, shot
one of them dead and got back his horse.
When he and his neighbors were arres?
ted for the killing, the Judge, a white
Democrat, promptly discharged them.

THE GENUINE
DR. C. McLANE'S
CELEBRATED
LIVER PILLS,
FOR THE CURE OF
Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint,
DYSrEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
PAIN in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pres?
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
an the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
For rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe?
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen?
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss of mem?
ory, accompanied with a painful sen?
sation of having left undone some?
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
weariness and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly sensa?
tion of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer?
cise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex?
isted, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the liver to
have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
Dr. C. McLane's Liver Pills, in
cases of Ague and Fever, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them a fair trial.
For all bilious derangements, and as
a simple purgative, they are unequaled.
BEWARE OF IJIITATIOS9.
The genuine are never sugar coated.
Every box has a red wax seal on the lid,
with the impression Dr. McLane's Liver
Pit.ls.
The genuine McLane's Liver Pills bear
the signatures of c. McLaMB and fleming
15i:os. on the wrappers.
Insist upon having the genuine Dr. C.
McLane's Liver Pills, prepared by Flem?
ing Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa., the market being
full of imitations of the name 3IcLanef
spelled differently but same pronunciation.
YELLOW FEVER?BLACK VOMIT.
It Is too soon to forget the ravages of this terri?
ble disease, which will no doubt return In a more
malignant and virulent form in the fall of 1S79.
MERRELL'S HEPATINE, a Remedy discover?
ed in Southern Nubia and used with such wonder?
ful results in South America where the most ag?
gravated cases of fever are found, causes from one
to two ounces of bllo to bo filtered or strained
from flic blood each timo it passes through tlio
Liver, as long as an excess of Silo exists. By its
wonderful action on tho Liver and Stomach the
HEPATINE not only prevents to a certainty any
kind of Fever and Black Vomit, but also cureB
Headache, Constipation of tho Bowels, Dyspepsia
aud all Malarial diseases.
No one need lear Yellow Fever who will expel
the Malarial Poison and excess of bile from the
blood by using MERRELL'S HEPATINF, which
is sold by all Druggists in 25 cent and 31.00 bottles,
or will bo sent by express bv the Proprietors,

Delight.
Tlio reports of wonderful cures of Rheumatism.
Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Syphilis. Cancer, Ulcers aud
Sores, that come from alf parts of the country, arc
not only remarkable but so miraculous as to be
doubted was it not for tho abuudancc of proof.
REMARKABLE CURE OF SCROFULA, <tc
Case of Col. J, C. Branson.
Kingston, Ga., September is, 1871.
Gents?For sixteen years I have been a great
s??erer from Scrofula in its most distressing forms.
I have been confined to my room and bed for fif?
teen years with scrofulous ulcurations. The most
approved remedies for such cases had been used,
and the most eminent physicians consulted, with?
out any decided benefit. Thus prostrated, dis?
tressed, desponding, I was advised ny Dr. Ayer, of
Floyd County, Ua., to commence the uso of your
Compound Extract Stillingia. Language Is as in?
sufficient to describe the relief I obtained from the
use of the Stillingia as it is to convey an adequate
idea of the Intensity of my suffering before using
your medicine; sufficient to say, I abandoned all
other remedies and continued the use of Your Ex?
tract of Stillingia, until I can sar truly, "I am
cured of all paiu," of all disease, with nothing to
obstruct the active pursuit of my profession. Moro
than eight months havo elapsed since this re?
markable cure, without any return of the disease.
For the truth of the abovo statement, I refer to
any gentleman In Barlow County, Ga.. and to the
members of the bar of CUcrokec Circuit, who are
acquainted with me. I shall ever remain, with the
deepest gratitude, your obedient servant,
J. C. BRANSON, Att'y at Law.
A MIRACLE.
West Polvt, Ga., Sept. If., 1870.
Gents?My daughter was taken on the 25th day
of Juno, 1803, with what was supposed to be Acute
Rheumatism, and was treated for the samo with no
success. In March, following, pieces of bone be?
gan to work out of the right arm, and continued
to appear till all tho bono from the elbow to the
shoulder joint came out. Many pieces of bone
came out of the right foot and leg. Tho case was
then pronounced one of White Swelling. After
having been confined about six years to her bed,
and the case considered hopeless, I was induced to
try Dr. Pumbcrton's Compound Extract of Stillin?
gia, and was so well satisfied with its elects that I
have continued the uso of It until tho present.
My daughter was confined to her bed about six
years before she sat up or even turned over with?
out help. She now sits up all day, and sews most
of her time?has walked across the room. Her
general health l> now good, and I believo she will,
as her limbs gain strength, walk well. I attribute
her recovery, with the blessing of Hod, to the uso
of your Invaluable medicine.
With gratitude, I am yours truly,
V.'. B. BLANTON.
West Point, Ga.. Sept. 16,1870.
Gents?Tho above certificate of Mr. W. B. Blan
ton we know and certify to ait being true. The
thing is so; hundreds of tho most respected citi?
zens will certify to it. As much rcferenco can be
