WAB ON WIM) BUSSES. Wyoming Stockmen Organizing Hunters to Parsau Them. A Cheyenne correspondent of -the Chicago Tribun- writes: Wild hones have become so numerous on the plains that some of the stoclmen in this vicinity have organised a hunting party whose object will be to thin them out.. The hunters are provided with, long range rifles, fleet ponies, and supplies and forage enough to last all winter. These horses Hfve existed on the plains for many yean, bat of late they have been increas? ing very fast. They are quick to scent the approach of foes, fleet as the antelope that may often be seen browsing in secu-1 rity at their side, and as unmanageable as the wind. Horaeu continually break away from their owners and join the ) wild horses, and this is the reason why stockmen are aroused over the subject. The wild stallions ara the guardians of the bauds. AFways on sentinel duty, ? they give the alarm when the enemy | WfiSSgh^ Ja a^moinent the stragglers I are rounded in, a fleet-footed stallion ? leads the van, and, wii.h the others at his ] flanks, away they go in a thundering I charge. Nobody has yet been able to overtake them. Sometimes they are I lassoed or shot, bat such a thing as head ing them off in a race is out of the ] question. The,range of the wild horses I at present extends from Texas to the Southwestern Dakota.Hne. They are I more numerous in^NoKthwestern Colora? do, Wyoming^and rl^estern Nebraska than anywhere else on the plains. Five or six years ago they could be found on :. the divide between Sidney and. Sterling,! Nebraska, in "bunches of 60 or 75, but now a bunch of 25 is considered large. Someti tries there is more than one stal lion in. c ' band, bat one of them is always acknowledged as chief, wirjnitig this dis- ] ll'^tifictton "by many hard fought battles with' his rivals. ? Ono bunch of eleven horses (recently seen-) near Sidney was entirely, composed of "a tallionB-;- bu t this is explained on -the theory that they were j probably'driven out of, various herds I when young and gradually herded, to-1 gethert as old bu??lc balls are in the habit of doing. From the horse ranch I of M. E. Poet, about fifteen miles North of this city, nearly tvo hundred mares I have wandered away, and it is believed that at- least half of them have joined I the wild^iorees. . The wild horses are compact little I .' animals, weighing from 800 to 1,100 ; pounds. The majori ty of them stand 1 fourteen hands bigb. Ia color they are } usually brown, sorrel, or bay. A gray is seldom seen, unless it is a horse that has strayed away from civilization. Their tails grow long, frequently dragging the I ? ground, bat their manes are like those of other horses and not flowing to the knees, as they are represented in some books. The eye,,probably ^qm^being constantly I on the watch, is larger thau the; eye of the domestic horse, and evsn when tamed j the eye remains a distinctive mark of the ] horse's origin.. Wild Worses when cap* tured and trained, are ituperior to other horses of the same size, Many of them are used by the cowboys, and others are broken to harness and driven as carriage horses, being entirely trustworthy. Several men i?Sidhey make a living by catchiu^^honeiB. Until five or Bi-^yeaaago no.ooe knew how to do it, j and verj? few outsiders now understand 1 ? Hl!^ethods adopted. Mr. Livingston, j that town, describes; the process as I follows: "Two men always work together. Let. them start out from Sidney, either North or South, and thoy are almost cer- j tain to find a bunch within fifteen miles, j The plan is then to pitch a tent and I . make a camp, and one of the men, mounted on. his best horse, carrying with I him a few-cold biscuits or something else convenient to eat starts after the .bunch. He does not ride very fast, and at first does not attempt to get near them, but is content to keep the bunch moving, not allowing them to stop and eat. The horses may go only ten or a dozen miles, or they may. go fifty or Bixty, but, no matter 'hew far they roci, they will turn back and seek the range from which they started. If they go far the mettle of the rider and his horse will be tried to the utmost. The bunch must be kept mov-1 ing, acd there is no chance to change saddle horses until they torn of their own accord and pass near '.he camp. Day and night on they go. If the weather be clear and the nights not stormy, the rider will continne close alter the animals, sometimes half a mile and sometimes j within a hundred yards. It makes no difference'whether it be dark or light, the horse that is ridden and trained to the ] business follows after the herd. When the. first rider sueeeed? in turning the bunch and bringing them back to the camp he is relieved by the second, who, with a fresh horse, starts after them, while his companion tains ia and takes a much needed rest. This time they will not probably go so far. After a while they become tamer, and the hunter can J tarn them at pleasure. This may require a week or it may be done ia a couple of days. If the horses do not become scared they wilLnot run so far, and are more easily managed. When the bunch j becomes worried and starved out, it is j driven-toward the nearest corral. For-j merly corrals were 'erected specially for tho purpose, bat new ranches are so nu-1 merous that they are not needed any more. Once inside the wildest of the band are caught and chains fastened to their legs. Men walk wnong them and treat them kindly, and they soon learn -that there is nothing to be feared. They are turned loose in any ordinary pasture, and when they are wanted they are driven to the corral and roped. If two men can gather a bunch of ten or twelve horses in a week they of course make a good sum of money out of the transac- j tion, as the animals will sell at from $30 to $50 each, bot misfortune sometimes overtakes them when ia pursuit. The present movement of the stock raisers threatens to pat a stop to this business. Mounted upon their grain-fed horses the hunters will pursue the wild bauds when they are somewhat weakened by the rigors of winter. Biding as close -as possible the men will shoot the stal? lions from time to time. It is hoped that by spring nearly all the stallions will have been killed, and that the capture of the mares by the wholesale will theo be j made possible. An Ovation to a Murderess. Is it a crime ia this con ntry for a pret? ty woman to kill a man ? Theoretically,1 it is, bat practically it is not. Take the, case of Mrs. Baosier, of Syracuse, N. Y. She was a married woman with; children. In a momeot of excitement she shot and killed a mau named Satter/ The woman'3 story was that she was try-' ing to break off her intimacy with Sutter, and that she had begged him with tears: in her eyes to let her alone. He followed! her one night and taunted her. Stung to; madness she turned and killed him. When this story was told to a tender-; hearted jury, and the lawyer for the defense grew eloquent over it, there was but one thing to be expected. The jury' brought io a verdict of acquittal. Had the matter rested there it would perhaps have been well enough. But the town gave the fair murderess an ovation. Five hundred men and women congratulated ber/ tue men shaking her hand and Cheering, and wealthy ladies who never saw her before hogging and kissing her. ? A tag with the words "when I am '-full take me home" printed on it, and a blank lined off for the name and address of ibe wearer, was worn tied to the lapel of the^coat last New Yearls Day by pfr tain facetious New Yorkers. A Yery Strange Storj, Robert Haskinsjhis wife and one son lived near the line of Shelby County, this State, January, 1862, saya the Louisville Telegram. His farm consisted of seven? ty-five acres. In June of that year Has kins enlisted in the Confederate service, under Capt. Ed. Bell. The result was that in that immediate vicinity there was a colony of husbandlesa wives and fath? erless children. A roving band of thieves organized and began depredations in that section. Mrs. Haskins, becoming alarm? ed, removed to Eetill County, where her cousin lived. Her nearest friends being wives. of Federal soldiers, she did not confide her purpose to them, but wrote a short letter to her husband, telling bim her reason for going, her destination, &c, and intrusted it to the care of one John Bremer, who was home on a furlough at that time, and who was a member of the same company as Haskins and lived in the same part of the County. Bremer jjiras made,prisoner before he. reached camp, and was kept in prison over a year;' and the letter, 4>f course, was never de? livered. When Haskinn came home to visit his wife in February, 1863, he found his house deserted, and no one could tell him of the whereabouts of his beloved helpmeet and his little boy. He made every possible inquiry for her, but finally gave np in despair and returned to the army a heart-broken man. At the close of the war Haskins wandered aimlessly about for nearly two years, and finally settled, down to ke eping "a small grocery store in-Pleasant Hill, Mo., and there he stayed until about two. weeks .ago, when he decided to visit "Old Kentucky" once more. After spending some days with relatives and old comrades-ut-arms in other parts'of the State, he landed last Saturday in the vicinity of bis residence in 1862, and yesterday evening he met J. Bremer,; whohasTjeen Tiving in the edge of Shelby County since 1867. Bremer, in talking wer "old times," remembered about the letter^fveri*him by Mrs. Has? kins, and, strange i o say, bad preserved it, and after searching for some time among some old papers, found it, and delivered it tb the dumbfounded Haskins, after having it in bis possession twenty two years.- -: Mr. Haskins was in Frankfort Monday morning on his "way to Es till County in search of his wife and son. He stated that he was dangerously wounded at the battle of Fort Pillow, Tenn., in April, 1864, and all bis ,fnends, Bremer among the rest, thought that he was killed, and says that is the reason Bremer made no effort to see Mrs. Haskins or himself. He feels almost sure that he will find his son alive and well,.though he doubts very much whether his v/ife is still living. He looks to be about fifty-five years old, and his hair and beard are almost white. He showed a friend the letter written in 1862, which was jnotheaten and scarcely legi? ble, some words bei ng entirely gone. He says he did not know that his wife bad a cousin in Estill County, and of course never thought of looking for her there. His is a strange csse, and one bard to believe,-but he says every word of the above is gospel truth. The >'err South, Baltimore, January 7.?The Balti? more Manufacturers' Record, in its annual review of the Southern industries, will to-morrow publish a list of all manufac? turing and mining enterprises organized in the Southern States in 1884, giving the name, location and character of the business of each. The list shows 18,600 new enterprises, with an aggregate capi? tal reaching the enormous sum of $105, 269,500, divided among fourteen Southern States, as follows: Alabama 187 new establishments, with a capital of $16, 925000; Arkansas 46, with a capital of $2,040,000; Florida 95, with $2,323,000 capital; Georgia 196, with $5,455,000 capital -"Kentucky 137, with $21,762,000 capital; Louisiana 53, with $5,534,000 -capital; Maryland 105, with $7,121,500 capital; Mississippi 40, .with $1,295,000 capital; North Carolina 226, with $4,119,000 capital; South Carolina 53, with $2,194,000 capital; Tennessee 250, with $7,910,000 capital; Texas 212, with $10,778,000 capital; Virginia 188, with $13,400,000 capital; West Virginia 77, with $429,200 capital. In Kentucky, Alabama and Virginia some extensive mining and iron companies, with large capital, have organized, which runs up the total of investments in those States, though they also added many of the smaller industries. Tbe list shows that almost ever branch of general manufac? tures is represented. Cotton and woolen mills, machine shops, foundries, blast furnaces, ice factories, saw mills, planing mills, building material factories, furni? ture factories, carriage and waggon facto? ries, handle factories, etc., are very nu merous. There are many flour mills and more tobacco factories, and a large num? ber of cotton seed oil mills, as well as mining enterprises of all kinds, gold, silver, copper, mica, ore, coal, etc. A noticeable feature is the amount of Northern and Western capital going into the South, though tbe Southern people are themselves showing remarkable en er ? gy.jn developing their resources. The Meaning of the Election. Prof. Ai L. Perry, of Williams College, writes a "ringing letter" to The Million, the free-trade weekly newspaper, pub? lished at Des Moires, Iowa, on "Tbe Meaning of tbe Election." Tbe meaning of the election, according to Prof. Ferry, is that "politically tbe Republican party is as dead as Caesar." Its condition is like that of the Whig party in 1852. Although it cast more votes than ever before in its history, as the Whig party did in 1852, yet it haa sinned against the nation beyond hope of forgiveness. It has.sinned chiefly by maintaining war taxes in time of peace to protect the rich at tbe expense of the poor. It has allied itself to all tbe great monopolies and monopolists, and published tbe alliance to tbe world at tbe millionaire banquet at Delmonico's just oefore the election. It tried to steal the election after tbe votes had been cast, and, failing in this, tbe party turned with fury upon the victors and sought to punish them for voting for Cleveland. "They died very hard, and accordingly they died very dead. The whole country observed their unseasonable contortions, and made a careful note of the death rattle too long deferred." Their candidate for the Presidency, after courting the voles ol the Southern States with honeyed words, then turned furiously against them after the election, and sought to stir up the sectional strife which he bad previously said was dead and buried. Whatever needed to be done before tbe election to detach from the party tbe floating vote, without which it would have been defeat? ed in' most of the Northern States, has been done sines tbe election, and done thoroughly. It only remains for the Democratic partyyProfessor Perry thinks, to take up the question of revenue reform, knock off the duties on raw materials, and reduce correspondingly the duties of manufactured products, in order to open the door to a profitable foreign com? merce and secure to itself a long career of victory, bottomed upon internal peace and business prosperity .?New York Post. ?

With tbe bulk of our people tbe saving of small amounts in some regular, system? atic way opens the only possibility of attaining a competency of a little sum for a rainy day. Some one has said it is tbe first $1,000 on the way to fortune that means hard work and pinching economy. After that all is easy. And it is so; whether we gain a fortune or not, the start always involves small and sharp economy. Where this is practiced it I often becomes tbe basis of after prosperi? ty.' But where this does not follow it provides for the emergencies that are sure to come to all. There are ways of saving which can be adopted and which, once entered on, become habitual and easy. Of course the beginning of all saving is to live without means. If we have debts to offset our Baving, we do not real? ly save at all. Hence forecast as to tbe use of our income, so that it shall come within our range, is first. And when it is determined how much to save, the most rigid discipline is necessary to keep { it up. There are always, in a family, special demands, coveting things pleas? ant to have, and which, if acceded to, will easily eat up tbe margin we had set apart for savings. The rigid control of our wants jb, therefore, a first element in a couise of saving. This may involve privation, ait least for a time, but this is a necessity if we propose to save at all. It is easy to persuade ourselves that cer? tain gratifications are necessities, which may not be so at all. Hence firmness, even to rigidity, is a first class element of saving. And once begun, unlesB unfore? seen and imperative requirements are made, we should not swerve from our plans. A dollar a week saved and placed in a savings bank will aggregate $52 a year. Let us suppose 4 per cent, is obtained for it. At the eud of the second year it aggregates $106." In twenty years-it will amount to over $1,500. Five dollars a week _ saved and placed at interest will speedily buy a home. Many devices have been provided to stimulate saving. Building loans, savings banks, life insu? rance, and many other things. Any are good, if reliable and sound. It is the discouragement resulting from the loss of savings which-has done so-much damage in this country. But when our moneys are placed in sound institutions loss rare? ly follows. And where tbe habit of sav? ing is established it affects the life, in ducing regularity and order in all direc? tions. Perhaps the tendency of our people is in this line. At all events there is no country in the world where systematic saving can be done with less privation than here. The general hindrances are speculation and the bappy-go lucky disposition, which cares for nothing. But there are few fortunes the result of speculation or luck compared with the number gained by thrift and saving. And prosperity thus secured is apt to be permanent, because of tbe habits which attend the success. In our general life there is nothing more important than this. It will not only secure prosperity, or at least provisions for the rainy day that is frure to come, but will also induce habits of thrift which will be useful in forming communities of good citizens. We therefore commend systematic saving as contributing to virtue and home hap? piness as well as thrift and comfort. Mortgaging Made Easy. If there is one thing that a Southern farmer had rather do than raise all cotton and no grain, it is to give a mortgage. The borrowiug mania has been fatally prevalent since tbe war, and the only thing saved from the remorseless line of liens is the land which the banks are for? bidden by charter from accepting as security. Tbe mortgage, however, has recently been made ea&y by tbe establishment of large loan agencies, most of them of foreign management and foreign capital, which have come into our midst full handed and rapacious. Tbey are lending money right and left, upon planting lands, at ra'e; ruinous to the borrower, who realizes only a proportion of the face value of bis note aud who is pledg? ed to pay a heavy interest upon a ficti cious amount. Fifteen or twenty per cent., for five years will consume any business in the world, and the day of reckoning will find thousands of acres passing beyond control of their present owners. The Chronicle would not keep capital from tbe limits of tbe State, nor would it cut off from tbe planter any form of salutary or legitimate relief. This capi? ta), however, does not come for invest? ment or for development. It is surround? ed by plausible conditions, but bristles with usurping menace. Such schemes are invitations to the planter to realize, at a great sacrifice, a little money for his im? mediate wants, and are temptations for him to get rid of his estate in a most insidious and inevitable way. The history of the West, with its enor? mous land monopolies, and the warnings of the old country, with its landlord abuses, may present some admonitions as to the domain these loau agencies will certainly possess, and tbe power they may eventually wield. The time has come when, with the improved systems of agriculture, its implements aud stimu? lants, tbe planter of tbe South might be? gin to realize from bis unimproved acres or uncleared lands. New methods are being adopted and younger men are coming into possession of tbe soil which they will find hopelessly encumbered. There is a general undervaluation of land by Southern farmers. Many of these have been surprised at the liberal schedules which these loan agencies have placed upon them. That is just where the money lender knows more of our possessions that we do ourselves. He knows that the bald hills need a little fertilizing, and tbe washed valleys a slight amount of ditching. He knows that tbe pine groves will be worth their weight almost in yellow metal before many years, and that our streams and mineral veins will yield,' when properly developed, unlimited returns. AH these things he recognizes, and puts a value on field and forest at which the owner stands astonished. Tbe truth is that tbey are still below their real value. What Southern soil is capable of creating under Southern sun, many of our people fail to appreciate. In skillful hands and under improved methods, which we must learn to secure and employ, our broad oases and waste places may be easily reclaimed. Their capacity, if cultivated faithfully, is sur? prising, their resources almost boundless. The practice, then, of parcelling these places off by mortgagee which the con? sumer can never hope to meet, because imposed at rates which he cannot begin to carry, is most alarming. The South? ern farmer can remedy all this and save himself tbe necessity of such a policy by raising those supplies for which he is now borrowing money to pay, and by dividing up into small farms, among bis children or tenants, bis unimproved or unoccupied premises. Tbe future of the Southern farmer is full of danger, and the mortgage facility is robbing him of his last hope and of bis best inheritance. ?Augusta Chronicle and Constitutionalist. ?

A man wan denouncing newspaper ad? vertising to a crowd of listeners: "Last week/' said he, "I had an umbrella stolen from the vestibule of the church. It was a gift, aud valuing it very highly, I spent double its worth in advertising, but have not recovered it." "How did you word the advertise? ment ?" asked a merchant. "Here it is," said the man, producing a slip cut from a newspaper. The merchant took it and read : "Lost, from the vestibule of the church, last Sunday evening, a black silk umbrella. The gentleman who took it will be handsomely rewarded by leav? ing it at No.-, High Street." "Now," said the merchant, "I am a liberal advertiser, an d have always found it paid me well. A great deal depends on the manner in which the advertise? ment is put. Let us try for your umbrella and if you do not acknowledge that ad? vertising pays, I will purchase you a new one." The merchant took a slip of paper from his pocket and wrote : "If the man who was seen to take the umbrella from the vestibule of the church last Sunday does not wish to get into trouble and have a stain cast upon the Christian character which he prizes so highly, be will return it at once to No. - High Street. Ho is well known." This duly appeared in the paper, and the following morning the man was astonished when he opened the front door of his residence. On the porch lay at least a dozen umbrellas, of all shades and sizes, that had been thrown in, while the front yard was literally paved with umbrellas. A number of them had notes attached to them, saying that they had been taken by mistake, and begging the loser to keep the little affair quiet. A Gurions Case. A London dispatch announces that Capt. Dudley and the mate of the wreck? ed Mignonette have been sentenced, to death for killing and eating a boy named Parker while they were afloat in an open i boat on the ocean. The Mignonette was a steam yacht, and was wrecked in the Indian ocean. The captain, mate and boy escaped from the wreck in a small boat with insuffi? cient provisions and water. After their supplies were exhausted tbey endured the pangs of hunger for several days, hoping all the time to be rescued by a passing vesssel. The boy became so weak that he was not able to rise from the bottom of the boat. At last it was determined by the captain and mate that, as the boy bad only a few hours to live, they would kill him and endeavor to sus? tain their lives until help came. They carried out their determination and were rescued. As soon as they arrived in England tbey made known all the cir? cumstances connected with the wreck and the death of the boy. The impression prevails that the con? demned men will be pardoned. It is probable that they would not have been convicted if the opinion had not pre? vailed that tbeir acquittal would have established a precedent that would have served as an excuse for others to commit a similar crime when the necessity was not so great. Tho mental condition of the captain and mate was such, probably, that they were not responsible for their act. It can hardly be possible that they escaped the perils of the sea to die the death of murderers. It is doubtful if there is such another case in the annals of jurisprudence. Ilow the Turk Awoke. James Turk, a guileless citizen of De? troit, was ambling around St. Louis the other day, when a stranger stopped him, I offered bim a cigar and said : "You have a frank and honest face, and I appeal to you to do me a favor." ( "Well, I reckon I will, unless you want to borrow money." "Oh, no 1 no! You see that clothing store over there ? Well, on the left as you go in is a counter full of overcoats. I want one the worst way, but the price is $20, and I don't want to pay over $15. I could have beaten him down, I think, except that we both got mad and I left." "Well, what do you want of me V "Simply to go in and offer him $15. If he accepts, bring the coat to me on the corner below. If he refuses, you will have my gratitude all the same." James promptly consented, and when he offered $15 for one of the coats the dealer promptly accepted. It was done up in a neat bundle, and Mr. Turk carried it out to the corner for delivery aud payment. The other party was not there. Mr. Turk waited half an hour? three quarters?over an hour, and the indea crept through his wool that he had been sold. He returned to the clothier and asked: "What is your asking price for these overcoats?" "Eight dollars." "But I paid vou $151" "Oxactly. Vhen a man comes in und likes to pay me dot price I \has foolish to drive him avhay 1" Mr. Turk reached home with two overcuats, and he is so pale and quiet and sad appearing that his friends whis? per tbeir fears of consumption. A Clock lu a Bustle. Au amusing story reaches us from Paris. On Friday last a lady, having paid her hotel bill, sent away her boxes ? on a cab and sailed forth on foot.

Convinced that she must be the thief he rushed out iu hot pursuit, and, overtaking her, he charged her with the robbery and gave Ler into custody, the lady meanwhile protesting loudly against the indignity offered her, and vowing vengeance against the traducer. She wan, however, taken before the Judge d'Instruction, to whom she resumed her torrent of indignant denial with the extraordinary volubility peculiar to tho daughters oi Gaul.

C, March 27,18SJ 37 whom everybody knows as tho successful manager of the Largest Hotel Enterprises of America, says that while a passenger from New York on hoard a ship going m ound Cape Horn, in the early days of emigraiion to Cal? ifornia, he learned that ono of the oflicers of the vessel had cured himself, during the voy? age, of an obstinate disease by the use of Ayefs Sarsaparilla. Since then Mr. Leland has recommended Aver'? Sarsapabilla in many similar cases, and he has never yet heard of its fail? ure to effect a radical cure. Some years ago one of Mr. Leland's farm laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad ?t?te of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor? rible itching of tho skin, with burning and darting pains through the lump, made lifo almost intolerable. Tho leg became enor .lionsly enlarged, and running ulcers formed, discharging great quantities of extremely offensive matter. No treatment was of any avail until tbe man, by Mr. Lelakd's direc? tion, was supplied with Ayer's Sarsapa? billa, which allayed the pain and irritation, healed the sores, removed tho swelling, and completely restored the limb to use. Mr. Lelaud has personally used Ayefs Sarsaparilla for Rheumatism, with entire success; and, after careful observation, declares that, in his belief, there is no medicine in the world equal to It for the cure of Liver Disorders, Goat, the effects of high living, Suit Khoum, Sores, Eruptions, nnd all the. various forms of blood diseases. We have Mr. Leland's permission to invite all who m:,j uesire further evidence in regard to tho extraordinary curative powers of Atep.'s Sarsaparilla to sco him person? ally either at his mammoth Ocean Hold, Long Branch",or at the popular Lclaml Hole', Broadway, 27th and 2Sth Streets, Kew York.

A long, lank, lean and chronic Anti-Potash Boom met tbo new, fat and saucy Atlanta Big Bold Boom, on a hot. sultry day. "Who are you V asked tbe B. B. B. Boom. "I am the old Anti-Potash Boom," was the sad reply, ai the perspiration rolled down, and it leaned heavily on tho B. B. B. Boom for support. "Don't lean on me," said the B. B. B. Boom. "I may look strong, but I am quite young?only 14 months old. and am growing rapidly, and am mighty weak in the knees. I am doing the work which you have failed to do, although you are 50 years old You are old, and tough, and rich, and don't require a. supyort. But what causes you to look so thin of late?" "Well, I hardly know," replied the Anti-Potash Boom. "My physician tells me that my abilities have been over-rated, and that while trying to whip out all opposition by boast and brag, that I have only proven my inability to e'bpe with what he calls my superiors. Old age is also creeping on me?having fought near 50 years before any one knew I was living?and now I am unable to per? form feats that others are doing. I am collapsed; my friends have turned against me and call me flamen, and oh, Lordy! how sick I become at the ery sight of B. B. B. Hold my head while I die.'' Atlanta, June 5,1834. Blood Balm Company: I take pleasure In making the following state? ment: For four years I have been a great sufferer from Malarial Blood Poison, and for six months have had Rheumatism to such an extent, that I was forced to use crutches a portion of the time, and could not raise my left arm to my head. I used all the leading Blood remttdles of the day, be? sides the attention or several first-class physicians, all without benefit. I became quite feeble and emaciated, having very little appetite and poor digestion. Calling at your office one day, I secured two bot? tles of D. B. B., and commenced its use at once, and before one bottle had been used, 1 felt a most wonderful change. Two bottles have given me almost entire relief, llheumatlsm relieved and can use my arm as good as ever, cured the neural? gia in my'bead and all malarial poison is being rapidly relieved, and I feel better than I have for six years. To tell you tbe truth I have never used such a wonderful medicine in all .my life, aB the effects hare been magical. It has acted as a splendid tonic, gave a good appetite and imparted quiet slumbers. I cheerfully recommend it as a quick remedy. 26-4 W. P. McDANIEL. FOE SALE BY HILL BROS., Anderson, S. C. FOUND!

MM. nearly three years ago, my son, who was at that time living at Clinton, Ga? came over to see me with the sad intelligence that his wife was in the last stages of consumption andl that bcr physician had pronounced ber case bone? less. I vent immediately over, and I felt that nothing could be done. Sbe was coughing and spitting incessantly, and at times would dischargo from her lungs a large quantity of pus or matter ?could not sleep or retain anything on ber stom? ach, and was, in fact, in tbe last stages of the dis? ease. This was about the time you began to ad? vertise Irewer's Lung Restorer, and as my son expressed a desire to give it to his wife, two or three booties were procured and with scarcely a vestige oi' hope we commenced giving it to her in small doses, gradually increasing the quantity un? til the prescribed dos- was reached. She began to improve after a few doses and continued to do so daily, until she was finally restored to life and health, and is to-day perhaps in better health than ever before. Sbe is'subject to colds, but a few swallows of Brewer's Lung Restorer (which she is never wii bout) relieves her immediately. I con aider her restoration to perfect health a miracle, for whici she is iudobtd to Brewer's Lung Re? storer. .Sty son is almost a monomaniac on tho subject ol Brewer's Lung Restoier and never lets an opportunity pass where be thinksjsuch a medi? cine would be required, that he does not speak of it in most glowing terms. Not long since a North? ern gentleman on his way to Florida heard of this cure and was induced by my son t-? give it to his Invalid wife, and she was cured as if by magic. Brewer's Lung Restorer contains no opiates. LAMAR, RAN KIN 4 LAMAR, Macon, Atlanta and Albany, Ga. >. Brewer's Lung Restorer for sale by Wil liite & Wilhite, Anderson, S. C. March 23,1881,35-eow. C.
