BILL ASP Visits Charlaston and lookn Upon Historic Start Sunrtar. j4tfanta Constitution. I write you from the city of Charleston . ?the city by the see. I am now looking afar off upon the distant waves, afar towards Fort. Snmter, the historic place ? where the war began. I was ruminating about that small beginning of a sad and terrible conflict. That feeble cannonad . ing that hardly shook the land and did not disturb the calm and peaceful sea, V but it quivered the heart of a great nation, ? and Was the shock that smothered peace and sounded the call of battle and of death. I wish I lived by the sea, not all the time, for I love our hills and moun . tains dearly, bat I would like to have a :. home down here where I could bring the good wife and children and let. them least upon new scenes and look with rap* .V tare and with wonder upon the mighty ocean. How calm, how peaceful, when! at rest, how terrible in the storm. I believe such things enlarge us and make us better. They dignify the great Crea? tor and'fill us with awe and make us conscious of our own humility, while Bitting now upon the wharf watching the restless waters I cannot wonder at the emotion of Lord Byron when he wrote that sublime and beautiful verse "Boll on then deep and dark blue Ocean, roll,". . There-is surely something in nature that moulds a man to her image. Not .. all men, but most men._ They say that blood Twill tell, but blood is not all. .Blooded stock, whether of man or beast, will not keep up on the piney Woods. It will degenerate, we can almost tell where med came from by looking at them and talking to them. The mountains produce ? shifty, thrifty, active people, always smart, always in a hurry. The plains produce a quiet slow moving, dignified population; who love their ease and care for their comfort and take time to enter? tain their Mends. If a Charleston "man or a Savannah man is not dignified and courteous he is nothing. If an East ? Tennessean is .not sharp and close and .calculating he is ^nothing" And. so "between the; seacost and the mountains ~; we find all grades and all mixtures. I I have just visited three pleasant villages - in South Carolina and mingled with their ; people and enjoyed them for they are in no hurry to get through life, and content with, their jot. I neversaw a merchant hunting ior trade. I never saw one like Jot.Camp,.of Borne, taking the streets to induce custom/and working and toiling" Ifor business. That is all right .and . 1 adraire him and his diligence, but I can't help noticing the difference. Then there is Patilio, of Cartersville,, I've wstched him as atypical'man, a genuine North V Georgian, as restless as the troubled sea, working ajl^thetime and watching- for opportunities. ; He buys at venture and sells on sight and uses the bank and duns his customers and deals in any thing that offers a dollar of profit. Atlanta is that same way, for Atlanta is made up of North G^igians. Most all their success? ful men came, from there, and they are: " Wart and their motto is "Push alopgY koep moving.*' It was.the bracing, nervous air oftthe - mountains that made Moore and Marsh and Kiserand Bhode Hill and Wyley and Wyly and Peters and Dougoteiry' :. and many -others. .Evan Ho well has mountain stock in him, and ao has Hemp thill and Grady-and that is wbr\tbeyv . succeed. :;-Tbejf. are the stockr-that war c^limb ir∧ succeed without.capital or frienda. Nothing can keep them down. A Macon man will succeed in Macon bnt he would hardly succeed in Atlanta, ^unless he had a good backing and some V Bpe<M advautages. Some Charleston men who moved to Atlanta have succeed? ed, but they-had-abundant capital and . had North Georgia boys to help, them, . There is a wide difference between Macon aud Atlanta in their methods of business. The Atlanta men; walk faster, talk faster and chew more tobacco and give more bank notes, and dun harder and brag eternaDy-on Atlanta. Well, that is* all right^ThSiris business, and that is what makes!Atlanta*- Why, a man can break all to pieceVin Atlanta and rise again in' two months and smile serenely. Wenerable. Charleston I I have not Seen here for SO years. When I was a merchant I used to trade here. Twice a year I made my pilgrimage here and * bbught:.my goods, aud-now it makes me sad to wander around in search of the old familiar places and find new signs. I Saw One hanging .on a wall ; it was cor rodlng from the, iron- hand of. time, but j tt.was theror-tbe, same old, sign, "Hyatt McBurney & Co.'' But they were not there, and-no succession. The sign was all. Happily I found one, but only one old. friend, Mr. McGahan, the honest ; Scotchman, now of Edwin, Bates, & Co., ; and; the \ head of the house,- He is the only one left of the old stock I used to -deal.with, a noble gentleman of the pure Charleston type. His house has a branch in Atlanta which shows his business sagacity. Sitting down by him, I asked many questions and the answer was dead, dead?out * of business?moved away*- E?en Vanderzee, the late surviv cr of Wiley, Banks & Co., is thumping fiies in.New York, and. Jias. passed his -three score and ten. Van. was the best merchant I-ever knew except Mr. Nor? ton, of. Borne, and he couldn't talk to - you a minute without thumping, a fly from your clothes, or catching him as he flew* He was the best catch on the fly I ever saw, and',he is at it yet. Butthose time-honored names of honorable men? names that. I respected, for they did busi? ness on. honorable principles, and they ^were the pride of Charleston?where, are they ? There were the Bowies^ and Gilli , lands, and Fleming, and Dunham, and .: Dewing,- ;Taylor & Co., and Chamber? lain-, Meier & Co., and McKenzie, Cadow & Co., and Clark, Hyde & Co., and S tod - dard, and Courtenay, Tennant & Co., and . I don't know how many more I used to trade with. Well, they are all gone, -or out of business, or dead?and it is only thirty years since they were in their glory. And so we all pass away soon, and he no more remembered than Rutherford B. Hayes. But I did meet Mr. Courtenay, and he is well and Well preserved,, and is . a president of a bank, and is bor i by that people. His brother is the Jkrayor of Charleston, and is worthy of the honor his people have shown him. I reverence these old classic names, for they are classic. There la something in a name. There's nothing in mine, I know, but whenever I meet with aCalhoun or a Lamar or Cobb or Lowndes or Butlege or Bowie or Courtenay or Pickens or such . like, I naturally expect something of the man, and if he is neither good nor great, ' all I can Bay is that he has gone back on his ancestors, which he oughtent to have done. " Well, I love Charleston. My dear mother was born here?my best earthly friend except my wife?my dear old mother, who still loves to bless me and pray for me, and who, if she had the privilege, would forgive all my sins. For her sake I reverence this place, and if I could know the spot, the sacred spot that gave her birth, i would go to it like the pilgrims went ?o Mecca. But, alas I\ . I do not know. She does not know, for she was hurried awfty during a pestilence, when father and mother were but a day in their graves. I These memories are sweet, tender and refining* I wandered along the streets in Augusta the other day, looking for names, familiar names, hut I did not find them. They,'too, are dead or retired, and there is a new-set of merchants aud lawyers. But I was" not' lost or forgotten, for as time has rolled on I have made new friends, and I love them. I found John H. Davidson there, a genial gentleman, of whom his people ace proud, and ought to be. And then I met that lovable man, My Maryland. Randall, whose name Is familiar to eve ry household, and whose welcome comes from the heart as well as from the hand. And that sterling, solid -son of Erin, Pat Walch, whom the people of Georgia delight to honor, and will yet honor. I love this good old Georgia city for its happy memories, and especially because' Mrs. Arp was educated there, and her education was solid?solid as a rook?and she can do a sum now in her bead quicker than I can on a slate, and is as sure in fignres as an almanac. I was taken sick in Charleston once, at the Pavilion hotel, when old Mr. Butterfield was the proprietor, and I thought I had the yellow fever and was going to die. So I ran away with the fever on me, for I wanted to die at home, and I reached home and for two months I was at the door of death, and living I did languish and languishing did live, and one day a sweet, pretty girl with beautiful hazel eyes and raven hair, came to see me and brought me some flowers, and as I looked in her soft, sympathetic" face I rallied and determined to get well. And I did. And I'm well yet, and so is ahe, and her chil? dren are mine and mine are hers. Bill Asp. The Leaning Tower of Pisa. The tower hau such a strange effect on you I You see that the -stairs are very steep in some places, and that the inner wall crowds down upon you in an un Eleasant way. The effect is a little like eing in the cabin of a ehip at sea; you realize a kind of undulating motion, with out having the visible cause of it before your eyes. We stopped to rest; a small window was .at hand: we looked down into the interior of the tower. It was like a det,p round shaft,that had been sunk slantwise; there was just enough slant to it to be unpleasant. ' We trudged on and on, and looked again. The tower was beginning, to move a little ; we both saw it and felt ic. The walla sagged very much; it was with some difficulty that we kept from; slipping out of the door level with the stairs when the tower reeled over on our side. I wonder that we had the courage to-, complete the ascent. Towers have fallen before now; leaning towers are not expected to stand any "longer than; they choose to. The earth , has suck -about the -Pisa, tower, so that you go down Beveral steps to get to the door on the ground floor. '' We were near the top ; the roofs of the city lay far below us; we caught'giddy glimpses of the world from the opening in the w?ll?the tempting doors that in? vited us to step" into eternity without waiting our turn. By this time the hol? low of the tower looked ?be a monstrous funnel. We were stumbling over the stone stairs in an unpleasantly BUggestive manner, when we came to the top cham? ber, where the great bells hang. Here we breathed more freely. The big bell, -weighing six tons, bangs on the upper -side of the tower, "to windward," as it were j: the smaller bells take their chances on the down grade. This little fact relieved us, for we were still affected by the unsteadiness of the long, spiral stair? way. While we were looking off upon the country from the turrets above (the bell chamber, lol all the bells began. -Tinging right under our feet. The sen? sation was as if the tower was about to be shaken to pieces; every stone trembled perceptibly; the air was whistling about' our ears; one man did it all I He sprang on to one of the bells and set it swinging, then leaping gayly on to another, and at last caught the big bell to the windward and got its thick black tongue in motion; so htf"skipped Rightly from^??eTto the other, dodging-.-the roaring monsters as they, heaved, about him.:. Escape.was impossible while this concert was in progress. The green hills were about us on the inland side ; the.country was as flat as a floor frorx^Pisa to the sea. Away off in the-corner by the shore lay Leghorn. Should we not go to Leghorn when it liea but .an hour hence by rail? We thought it best, and as soon as the bells were quiet we went down the corkscrew stairway and came to the outer, door in capital order. I had thought to receive the finishing touch on the way down, but on the contrary, having become some? what .tangled during the ascent. I had only to descend to unravel it all, and came but precisely as I had entered; ? _'; They Were on the String. "I saw something new up in Wisconsin the other evening," observed a Chicagoan who had a satchel in his hand; and who was on his way-home. "A patent medi? cine man was Gelling something or. other from a carriage in which he bad a very pretty young woman and a gasoline lamp. The lady sang one or two songs very sweetly nnd then the man talked and sold his nostrum at a dollar a bottle. When he had disposed'of thirty or forty, bottles he said : 'Now, gentlemen, before bidding you good night I will give an exhibition of the wonderful magnetic powers.of my wife, who sits here by my side. I hold in my hand a common piece of thread. Now, one of you. take hold of the end of it and walk off and. then let all the.-others take hold of it) and at the signal which I will give she will take hold of the other end and you: will feel the shock instantly.' "About 150 men and boys grasped the thread and walked off about half a block with it 'Now keep perfectly quiet/ said the man, 'and you will feel .the shock delicately at first and then strong enough to tingle'at the ends of your fingers and toes. Are you ready V "They all said 'Yes/" ? 'Well, then, I will out out the-light,' I said he, 'and my wife will take the thread in her hand at that instant.' "The light went out and the man's j voice was heard: 'What have you in [ your hand, my dear ?' '"The longest string of suckers I ever saw in all my life,' came in a sweet, musical voice, and at the same moment the horses and carriage were driven off I at a great speed, leaving the crowd hold? ing on to the. string, completely dumb? founded. "It was the worst shock a good many of those fellers ever got"?Chicago Her? ald. His Legs Were Safe. M. Boutibouse, the French savant, served in Napoleon's army, and was pres? ent at many engagements. At the oat tie of Wagram, in 1809, he was in the heat of the fray. The ranks around him had been terribly thinned by shot, and at sunset he was. nearly isolated. While reloading his musket he was shot down by a cannon ball. His impression was that the ball had passed through his legs below his knees, completely severing them, for he suddenly sank down, short? ened, as he believed, to the extent of about a foot in measurement. The trunk of the body fell backward on the ground, and the man's senses were paralyzed by the shock. Thus he lay,, motionless, among the wounded and dead, all night, not daring to move, when consciousness partially returned, lest the loss of blood should be fatally increased. That he felt no pain be attributed to the stunning effect of the shock on his nervous system, and his faculties were still too numb to ! reason why he had not bled to death. At early dawn be was aroused by one of the medical staff, who came round to help, the wounded. "What's the matter with you, my good fellow?" said the surgeon. "Ah touch me tenderly, doc? tor," replied M. Boutibouse, a cannon ball has carried off both my legs." The surgeon examined the limbs referred to, and then giving him a good shake, said with a loud laugb, "Get up with you ; there's nothing tbe matter with your legs!" M. Boutibouse sprang up in utter astonishment, and stood firmly on the legs which he had thought lost forever. "I felt more thankful," said he, "than I had ever felt in the whole course of my life before. I had not a wound about me. I had, indeed, been shot down by an immense cannon ball, but instead of passing through my legs, as I firmly believed it had, the ball had passed under my feet and had ploughed a hole in the earth beneath at least a foot in depth, into which my feet suddenly sank, giving me the idea that I had been thus short* ened'hy the loss of my legs. How He Courted Betsey. The following is Artemus Ward's description of why he courted Betsey I Jane: "There were many affectin' ties which made me hanker after Betsey Jane. Her father's farm jined ourn; their cows and ourn squeuched their thist at the same spring; our old mares both had stars in their forreds; the measles broke out in both families at nearly the same tim; our parents (Betsey Jane's and mine), slept regularly every Sunday in the same meetin'-house, and the nabors used to obsarve, 'How thick the Wards and Peasles air.' It was a sublime sight in the spring of the year to see our several mothers (Betsey's and mine) 'with their gowns pinned up so that they could't aile 'em, efieckshunitely bi 1 in' soap together and aboosin' their nabors." . . . ? Blunbin and his wife had been indulging in a family discordance, and finally Mrs. B. exclaimed: "Well, I've got my opinion of any man who talks as you do." "Oh, have you 1 Well, you can keep it if you want to," "No, I can't either, it's so awfully bad already that it won't keep." TUTT'S TORPID BOWELS.

His Postoflice is Yatcs ville, Upson County, Ga. The following is Mr. John Pearson's Statement: In the Spring of 18821 was attacked with a very bad cough, which continued to grow worse until fall, when I got so weak that ? could not get about. I tried a great many kinds of medlcina but continued to grow worse. I was notified that I had consumption and would probably die. Dr. Holloway finally told me to try Brewer's Lung Re? storer. They sent to Ward's Store and got a bottle and I commenced taking it right away. After tak? ing two or three doses, I began to Improve, and by the time I had used up one bottle 1 was able to get on my feet again. I am now in excellent health. I am confident that the Lung Restorer saved my life and my neighbors are of the same opinion. It is the best Lung Remedy ever made in my opin? ion. Dr. H. promised mo that he would write to the manfacturers and tell them, of tho wonderful cure it made in my case. Statement of Mr. Benj. H. Hearndon: Early in November, 1881, whllo sewing on the ' machine, my wife was taken with a severe pain in her side, which was soon followed by hemorrhages from her lungs and a suvere cough. Fever com? menced, she could neither eat or sleep, and in a few weeks she was reduced to a living skeleton. Tho attending physician, told me that he thought one of her lungs was entirely gone. She co> '. j.ot retain tho most delicate nourishment on bei atom* ach. I then agreed w:.tu Dr. Sullivan, my family ?hysiciau, to coll Dr. Holloway in consultation, hey made a final examination of the patient and pronounced the case hopeless. Dr. Holloway then suggested the Brewer's Lung Restorer as a last resort. I sent for a bottle and gave her a dose. I found that she could retain It on her stomach, and after about the third dose, I began to notice some improvement in her condition. I continued the >mcdlcinc regularly, and by the time she had taken two bottles, she was able to walk about the house. She is now in better health than s9e has enjoyed for several years. I beliovo the Lung Restorer saved her lifo. We have a family of six children, some of them grown." Mr. Hcamdon'8 Postoffice is Yatesville, Upson County, Ga.
