UTTERLY^SURPRISED!
Mkridax, Miss? Jnly 12,1887.
For a number of years I have suffered nntold
agony from the effects of blood poison. I had my
case treated by several prominent physicians, but
received but little, if any, relief. I resorted to all
sorts of patent medicines, spending a large amount
of money, but vet getting no better. My attention
was attracted by the cares said to have (been
affected by B. B. B., and I commenced taking it
merely as an experiment, having bat little faith
in the results. To my otter surprise I soon com
menced to Improve, and deem myself to-day a well
and hearty person?all owing to the excellent
qualities of B. B. B. I cannot commend it loo
highly to those suffering from blood poison.

JOHN J3. PEOPLES 4b CO.
Dropped Two Miles,
Jackson, Michigan, April 4.?."It is
claimed by the balloonist Baldwin that
he has dropped rive thousand feet from
his balloon with a parachute. I shall
drop at least ten thousand feet, and shall
attempt what no other balloonist ever
did?I shall drop with the parachute
closed, leaving it entirely to the fall to
open it."
So said Edward D. Hogan to a group
of newspaper men who had assembled
this morning on a vacant lot northwest of
of the town to see him make his foolhardy
venture.
Hogan lives with his 'amily at No. 421
Van Buren street. He was for fourteen
years employed in a planing mill here,
and only during the last four years has
devoted himself to ballooning as a pro?
fession. He has studied the subject
thoroughly, however, for many years,
having from childhood taken the keenist
interest in it. He rigged up a workshop
at his home and there he spent every
spare moment experimenting in the con*
struction of balloons, and during the past
twenty years has made frequent short
ascensions. During the last lew months
he has given his attention to parachutes,
and on February 9 last announced that
he would ascend to an altitude of 10,000
feet and drop from the car.
'?There is no use," he said, "unless
I can beat all previous records and fall
further than any living man. A few
hundred feet more will count nothing for
me. I must at least double the distance."
He repeated this talk this morning
when getting his car ready, and at twen?
ty-five minutes to ten the balloon ascend?
ed. As it left the earth one of the guy
ropes holding the parachute broke. .As
soon as possible Hogan descended.
"I'll go up again in an hour," he said.
The second trial was a success. The
.balloon at five minutes past eleven shot
np to a distance of fully ten thousand
feet. It then settled about three hun?
dred feet and hung like a ball in space.
The crowd watched the balloon with
bated breath. Observers provided with
powerful glasses saw Hogan make ready
to jump. "He'll weak-en/' said some
one. ' No," cried another watcher, "he is
getting out." Hogan drew up the para?
chute till he reached the guy ropes, to
which he lashed himself. He did not
expect the parachute to open for the
first'two or three hundred feet and he was
afraid he might be shaken loose by the
rapidity .of the drop unless he took the
precaution to fasten himself.
When Hogan stepped on the edge of
the car to spring into space the watchers
grew pale snd sick. Surely this daring
man was going to certain death! A
shout of horror went up. Hogan had
dropped.
Down like a cannon ball he fell for
five hundred feet. The parachute had
not yet opened. Down it came, like a
gigantic, elongated bird. Suddenly a
shout went np. The parachute had
caught the air. It opened like the wings
of a monster eagle. Hogan's flight
downward was almost stopped with a
jerk. Then the parachute settled down
to a steady journey earthward with its
passenger, and in three minutes from
the time the reckless man left the balloon
car he landed safely in an open field
some little distance from where the ascent
was made.
The Herald correspondent Was almost
the first to grasp the hand of the aero?
naut. "I lost my breath," Hogan said,
"when I shot down so fast, but I caught
it again after a time. It was a great
jump, was'nt it?
He had never seen a man jump with a
parachute, and his was home made, con?
taining a hundred yards of stout cloth.
He was much disappointed at the slow
time made, expecting to come down in
ninety seconds.
The parachute wsa twenty feet in
diameter. Oscilation was guarded against
by means of a four inch hole in the
apex.
Cotton Hills Sown South,
The New England cotton mill owners
mast keep their weather eye open and
watch a new movement in the South?
west. '
The people down yonder are beginning
to reason among themselves. They say.
in snbstance, We grow the cotton ana
send it up North to be made into cloth,
and after that we have to buy the cloth.
Then they put their, thinking caps on
and ask, Why can't we build mills of our
own and pocket the profits of manufac?
ture ourselves?
The answer came in the shape of two
well equipped establishments in New
Orleans. It was an experiment, of course,
and the dollars went into the speculation
with some timidity. But the spirit of
competition was vigorous and the love of
an honest penny honestly earned prevail?
ed. Then a big building was put up in
Wesson, Miss., for the same purpose.
Well, the venture was an admirable
success in both instances. The Wesson
company is going to put up another mill
because the demand for its product has
greatly increased, and the New Orleans
people will very soon follow suit.
During the next twenty or thirty years
the South will give ns a pretty lively
shaking np. Before the war, you know,
they never dreamed of stripping for the
race, and we had it all our own way.
But the times have changed with them.
Now, what with their iron mines, and
their coal mines, and their new methods
of agriculture, and their shrewd.enter?
prise, and their commercial daring, we
shall have to draw our belts a little
tighter and strike a livelier gait, or?well,
what of it ? This is a free country; and a
big and rieb country, and there is room
enough for generous rivalry to get a good
deal of exercise and make a good deal of
money. Are you ready, gentlemen?
Then "Go I"?New York Herald.
They Played Cowboy.
BtJEGETTSTOWN, Penn., April 7.?
Six boys, ranging in age from 10 to 15
years,who have been reading dime liter?
ature, went into a barn yesterday after?
noon to play "Cowboy." They had two
or three pistols and ropes, the latter being
used as lassos. During the play one of
the lads, after boasting of his ability to
throw a rope around the neck of an In?
dian and choke him to death, gave his
lasso a sling. It chanced to fall over the
neck of little James Burton, who started
to run. The boy held on, and the rope
tightened around Jimmy,s throat. The
others thought it was great sport, and
laughed at the struggles of the little fel?
low to get free. This lasted for some
time. Finally the mother of one of the
boys appeared upon the scene. She
quickly released tbe little sufferer, but
too late to save his life. He died within
a few minutes after the removel of thr
rope.
? Impecunious immigrants are now
being stopped daily st Castle Garden and
returned home at tbe expense of the
steamship companies who bring them.
A new schedule of questions has recently
been introduced in tbe landing depart?
ment, the arriving immigrants being
obliged to state on oath who has paid
their passage, what is their present finan?
cial condition, whether they have ever
been convicted of crime, have ever been
in a prison or alms house, or have been
afflicted with disease or infirmity that
hindered them earning a living. It is
learned that many poor people are
brought out here by the false representa?
tions of steamship runners on the other
side, tbe runners promising tbem plenty
of work on their arrival in New York.
The commissioners want to stop this.

Rawlins, W. T., April 6.?About a
month # ago there came to the hunter's
camp, in the Elk Head Mountains, a
foot-sore, ragged and generally dilapida?
ted specimen of tbe disreputable genius
tramp.
Some more than usually unaccountable
vagary of his roving disposition had in?
duced this habitual trampest to leave for
a time his birthright of a familiar and
well-trodden railroad ties and strike out
into the plains and the mountains. A
blinding snow storm came on, the wander*
er lost his road, and when be stumbled
on the camp^was half frozen and utterly
exhausted. He was kindly cared for, and
after resting for several days, was fur?
nished by his host with full directions to
find the camp he was in search of.
One of the articles of attire sported by
our tramp was a long-tail coat, and in
one of the tail pockets was a quart bottle
of .whisky. When he left his former
companions the other pocket had been
similarly furnished, but had been light?
ened of its load by a constant and exhaus?
tive process of tramp absorption. Sever?
al days passed and the hunter bad almost
forgotten his tramp guest, but he was to
be recalled to his memory in a startling
and a most effectual manner.
Returning from the usual daily bunt,
the hunter found, one evening, a short
distance from his camp, the body of a
man suspended from a limb of a large
tree. The mere finding of a man hang?
ing in these wild mountain solitudes was
surely singular enough in itself, but the
hanging in manner was more singular
still. The than was hung by his coat?a
long-tailed coat. Investigation speedily
revealed to tbe hunter that the dead, man
was his late tramp guest, and also ex
plained the manner of his sudden and
curious taking off.
He had evidently ascended tbe tree
(the upper branches being broken and
bent as by the swift downward passage of
some heavy body) doubtless to look over
tbe country, to make sure of his course
of travel. While so engaged he had
fallen headlong. In his downward course
his long coat tails bad wound themselves
about the lower limb of the tree (some
fifteen feet from the ground) and had, by
the weight and action of the bottle of
whisky in the pocket, become firmly and
fatally knotted there. Tbe coat, fastened
at the throat by a stout buckskin string,
had been jerked up over the head, hope?
lessly entangling the arms and shutting
off respiration. Thus singularly doomed,
the tramp had quickly died. There was
nothing on the person of tbe unfortunate
to indicate identity, and at the foot of
the fatal tree on the wild mountain side
there is now a nameless grave.
Will Iron Mines be Abandoned ?
"I was talking With Mr. Chamberlain
the other day," said Judge Tompkins,
"who is a practical man of our coal and
iron company. He made a startling
suggestion. Said be, "the time may
come when all tbe iron mines of this
country will be abandoned. Tbe most
generally diffused metal on earth is
aluminum. It is found almost invariably
in clay, especially in red clay. It is
now extracted from clay by a very expen?
sive and tedious process, at a cost of
more than five hundred dollars a ton.
Some one will invent a process for get?
ting aluminum out of clay by a rapid
and cheap process. Then farewell to
iron mines.'"
"I asked him what was tbe value of
aluminum."
"He replied that it has thr.e times tbe
strength of steel, and only one-third its
weight. This makes it, of course, tbe
most valuable of metals. It was only
' discovered in 1828. It is bright, and it
never tarnishes. Louis Napoleon offered
six thousand dollars for a process for
extracting it from clay, and two small
bars of aluminum were presented to him
by a French chemist as the result. It
was enormously expensive, but Napoleon
had works established for extracting it,
and he used it as a substitute for the
silver eagles that were borne above the
armies of France. It has all the beauty
of silver, is more lasting, stainless, and
has only one-fourth the weight of silver.
The eagles of France are thus made more
resplendent, more enduring, and seventy
five per cent lighter in weight. Ton look
out for aluminum. Some one will yet
invent a process for digging up common
dirt and extracting therefrom this best of
all metal."?Atlanta Constitution.
Grow Ball-Frogs for Market,
St. Louis, April 7.?There is a town
in Arkansas called Atlanta, at least there
is a post office by that name, and some
houses are scattered . promiscuously
through the miry vicinity. Atlanta nes?
tles snugly in the midst of a charming
Bwamp, where snakes and toads are wont
to congregate, and where such a thing as
soil bears the same relation to reality
that an algebraic equation bears to a
known quantity. The inhabitants doubt
not but what there is soil under Atlanta,
but the trouble is to get beneath the
superficial stratum of swamp and reach
tbe great depth at which it is supposed
soil might be found. The Arkansas
agent of the Ealy Mercantile company,
was asked to send in a report on Atlanta.
He has just sent it, and in it he brings to
light a new industry. The swamp being
unsuited to the growing of grain, tbe
inhabitants have suited themselves to
the circumstances, and now grow bull?
frogs for the market. They have excel?
lent seed, and the growths have .been
magnificent until last year, when the
whole crop hopped away before.it was
ripe. This was very discouraging, but
when the time came another crop was
put in, and at last reports it was doing
well, though there are indications that
the precedent set by the last crop may be
followed this year, as several of the more
mature frogs have begun peregrinating
about the swamps already. When the
yield does not takjp unto itself legs and
hop away it is sold. Ealy's agent is
endeavoring to make a contract for one
thousand bushel of frogs to be delivered
out of the first crop that can he detained
until it thoroughly ripens.
? Colonel Higginson says in Harper's
Bazar that when he "was planning in the
autumn of 1861 to enlist a regiment for
the civil war, it occurred to him to invite
the celebrated John B. Gough to go as
chaplain, Bince his personal magnetism
and eloquence, although he was not a
clergyman, would be felt through the
whole union army. . On inquiry it turned
out that Mr. Gough was absolutely
fettered by his own large earnings and
profuse charities: he could easily,earn
$50 or $100 a day the year round by
lecturing; but all this large income was
mortgaged in advance to young men
whom he was educating and poor families
whom he was supporting, bo that he
absolutely could not afford to stop work
for a moment. Had be been poorer, he
could have gone."
? For the first time in its history,
Africa will figure in an international
exposition next year. France intends to
set apart a considerable space in the
coming World's Fair to the great region
in the western Soudan which it has occu?
pied. The work of collecting the pro?
ducts of the country is already well
advanced, and it is proposed to transport
an entire African village to tbe grounds
of tbe Exposition, where tbe natives will
be shown engaged in their usual occupa?
tions and industries. It might not be a
bad idea for America to send over a
village or two, just to show how the
original African has been improved by
transplanting.

St. Paul, April 5?A special to the
Dispatch from New Hampton, Iowa,
says: A terrible accident occurred to?
day about four miles WeBt of this town,
on the Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad,
by which at least a dozen persons lost
their lives and from fifteen to twenty
were injured. The train, which left Chi?
cago at 11,30 yesterday morning and was
due here at 2.13 this morning, passed here
nearly on time, and when about fonr
miles to the West plunged into a creek
which was swollen by an immense
amount of water which has been running
off for the past few days, and in addition
a gorge of ice was formed which carried
away a portion of the bridge. There was
nothing to show that there was any dan?
ger ahead, and the train plunged into the
swollen stream while running at full
speed. The engine and three coaches
were immediately submerged. Such of
the trainmen and passengers as were
uninjured, rescued a number of passen?
gers from the submerged cars, dragging
them through the windows. Up to 11
o'clock this morning six dead ladies had
been taken out from the wreck, and three
men are kuown to be under tbe debris,
through which tbe water is pouring, It
is also stated that the engineer and fire?
man were instantly killed or were caught
in the cab and drowned before aid could
reach tbem; but tbe confusion and
excitement is so great that it is difficult
to secure any reliable information. In
addition to the passengers known to be
killed, from fifteen to twenty are more or
less seriously injured. A number are so
dangerously hurt that it is feared tbey
cannot recover. As soon as a trainman,
who had escaped injury, could be spared,
he was dispatched .to the station, and
relief was telegraphed for from* Mason
City. Telegrams for relief were also sent
to Charles City and other places near by,
but it was not until several hours after
the accident that a train arrived with
physicians to care for tbe injured, and
additional helping hands to aid in
rescuing those still confined in the wreck.

Once said that the secret of gootl health
consisted in keeping the head cool, the
feet warm, and the bowels open. Had
this eminent physician lived in our day,
and known tbe merits of Ayer's Pills
as an aperient, he would certainly have
recommended them, as so many of his
distinguished successors are doing.
The celebrated Dr. Farnsworth, of
Norwich, Conn., recommends Ayer's
Pills as the best of all remedies for
" Intermittent Fevers."
Dr. I. E. Fowler, of Bridgeport,
Conn., says: "Ayer's Pills are highly
and universally spoken of by the people
about here. I make daily use of them
in my practice."
Dr. Mayhew, of New Bedford, Mass.,
says : " Having prescribed many thou?

The Massachusetts State Assayer, Dr.
A. A. Hayes, certifies : " I have made a
careful analysis of Ayer's Pills. They
contain the active principles of well
known drugs, isolated from inert mut?
ter, which plan is, chemically speaking,
of great importance to their usefulness.
It insures activity, certainty, and uni?
formity of effect. Ayer's Pills contain
no metallic or mineral substance, hut
the virtues of vegetable remedies in
skillful combination."

WM is this Disease that I& Coming
>. Upon Us? ^*T'
lake a thief at night it steals
in upon us unawares. The pa?
tients have pains about _ the
chest and sides, and sometimes
in the back. They feel dull
and sleepy; the moiith has a
bad taste, especially . in the
morning. A sort of sticky slime
collects about the teeth. The
appetite is poor. There is a
feeling like a heavy load on the
stomach; sometimes a faint, all
gone sensation at the pit of the
stomach which food does not
satisfy. The eyes are sunken,
the hands and i'eet become cold
and clammy. After a while a
cough sets in, at first dry, but
after a few months it is attend?
ed with a greenish-colored ex
pectoration. The patient feels
tired all the while, and sleep
does not seem. to afford any
rest. After a time he becomes
nervous, irritable and gloomy,
and has evil forebodings. There
is a giddiness, a sort of whirl?
ing sensation in the head when
rising up suddenly. The bow?
els become costive; the skin is
dry and hot at times; the blood
becomes thick and stagnant;
the whites of the eyes become
tinged with yellow; the urine
is scanty and high colored, de?
positing a sediment after stand?
ing. There is frequently a
spitting up of the food, some?
times with a sour taste and
sometimes with a sweetish,
taste; this is frequently at?
tended with palpitation of the
heart; the vision becomes im?
paired, with spots before the
eyes; there is a feeling of great
prostration and weakness. All
of. these symptoms are in turn
present. It is thought that
nearly one-third of our popu?
lation has this disease in seme
of its varied forms.
It has been found that phy?
sicians have mistaken the cause
of this disease. Some have
treated it for a liver complaint,
others for kidney disease, etc.,
etc., but none 01 these kinds of
treatment have been attended
with success; for it is really
constipation and dyspepsia. It
is also found that Snaker Ex?
tract of Roots, or Mother Sei
gel's Curative , Syrup, when
properly prepared will remove
this disease in all its stages.
Care must be taken, however,
to secure the genuine article,
IT WILL SELL BETTER THAN"
COTTON.
Mr. John C. Hemptinstall,
of Chulanrmee, Cleburn 'Co.,
Ala, writes: "My wife has
been so much benefited by
Shaker Extract of Roots or
Seigel's Syrup that she says
she would rather be without
part of her food than without
the medicine. It has done her
more good than the doctors and
all other medicines put together.
I would ride twenty miles to
get it into the hands of any suf?
ferer if he can get it in no other
way. I believe it will soon sell in
this State better than cotton.
TESTIMONY FROM TEXAS.
Mrs. S.E. Barton, of Varner,
Ripley Co., Mo., writes that
she had been long afflicted with
dyspepsia and disease of the
urinary organs and was cured
by Shaker Extract of Roots.
Rev. J. J. McGuire, merchant,
of the same place, who sola
Mrs. Barton the. medicine, sAJB
he has sold it for four yeaas
and never knew it to fail.
SHE WAS ALMOST DEAD
I was .so low with dyspep?
sia that there was not a phy?
sician to be found who could
do anything with me. 1 had
fluttering of the heart and
swimming of the nead. One
day I read your pamphlet called
"Life Among the Shakers"
which described my disease
better than I could myself. I
tried the Shaker Extract of
Roots and kept on with it until
to-day I rejoice in good health.

Those interested in Fruit and Fruitgrow?

the largest nursery in the State and one
among the largest in the South.
The proprietor has for many-years vis?
ited the leading Nurseries North and
West, and corresponded with those of
foreign countries, gathering every fruit
that was calculated to suit the South
both native and foreign. The reputation
of Pomona Hill Nurseries is such that
many agents going out from Greensboro
representing other nurseries, try to leave
the impression that they are representing
the*e nurseries. Why do they do it?
Let the public answer.
I have in stock growing (and can show
visitors the same) the largest and best
stock of trees, &c., ever shown or seen in
any two nurseries in North Carolina,
consisting of apple, peach, pear, cherry
plum, grape, Japanese persimmon, Japa?
nese plum, apricots, nectarine, Eusslan
apricot, mulberrv, quinces. Surall fruits:
Strawberry, rasberry currants, pecans,
English walnuts, rhubarb, asparagus
evergreens, shade trees, roses, &c.
Give your order to my authorized agent
or order direct from the nursery. Corres?
