Aykh’s Chwrry ; Pectoral is ouch • 'remedy, and no other so eminently merits the confi dence of the nubile. It Is a scientific com- tof themedb- Tcinal principles and ^curative virtues of 'the finest drags, chemically united, to insure the great* eat possible efficiency and unifonnttyot re. suits, which enables physicians as well aa invalids to use it with confidence. It is the most reliable remedy for diseases of the throat and lungs that science has pro duced. It strikes at the foundation of all pulmonary diseases, affording prompt and certain relief, and is adapted to pa tients of any age or either sex. Being very palatable, the youngest children take it without difficultr. In the treat ment of ordinary ( ought, Colds, Sore Throat, Bronchitis, Intiuenza, Cleft gyman’s Bore Throat, Asthma, t You p, a ad Catarrh, the effects ot Ayer's Cherry Pectoral are magical, and multi tudes are annually preserved from serious illness by its timely and faithful use.

Tribune ] Jackson was a young lawyer. He was on hia way from Touscssee to some town in Kentucky to attend court. He was passing through the Green River, country. Which was then but thinly settled, and most of it cov ered with forests. Approaching a lone oe tfeejroad, he heard the crlee of a woman, which grew more and more distinct the nearer he approached the hous*. Spurring up the animal be was riding, soon reached the cabin, and, alighting from his horfe, entered if to fiud a shoemaker beating bis wife with a great strap of leather. The sounds that he bad heard proceeded from her throat. Disregarding the old admouiehraent never to Interfere between husband and wife, he caught tbe man’s arm and compelled him to desist from bis diabolical pastime. Then half shoving him, half kicking him into the yard, he told the fellow to clear out. “ You confounded scoun drel 1” he exclaimed; “leave the coun try Immediately, and never let me hear of your showing your ugly face to 'this woman again. My name is Andrek Jackson; I am a lawyer. I am going up here to court, but I wilj return to this place every day or two until I am sure that you are so far away that you can cause the lady no more disturbance. IT she has uo oue else to protect her, I will do it. The positive mdlnuer of the young advfficaie convinced the cowardly hus band that bis adversary meant what he said. 8o he took Jackson’s advice and cleared out. Jackson visited the woman, as ho had avowed, and from becoming inter ested in her cuseljecam# interested in her and she in him. In the course of a year he procured a decree of divorce for^he woman from her husband, and then married her. The marriage was a quiet one, and occurred near Nash vilie. The name of the wife's first husband was Roberts, and her own maiden name was Donaldson. Hop kins says that she was au illiterate Woman, but had a very kind heart, and was always a good, true, and worthy wife of Jackson. termined to emigrate what waa then the Territory of Mississippi. Here the report became current that he had not bc®n married to th* woman with whom »<f was living. “ I was married to her,” ho said, “in Tennessee, in the presence of two witnesses, but if it will be any gratification to any of these people hereto have us married again, I am willing.” “Aud, sure enough,” said Mr. Hopkins, “off he goes and Is mar ried again.” Some time afterward Mr. Jackson and bis wife went t® Kentucky. There thev found that Roberts, Mrs. Jack- son’s first husband, had be«a circulat ing the report that they never had been married. Being willing that all parties should be satisfied on this point, Jackson went off and procured another license and again was united in marriage with tbe woman be had rescued from the wrath of an irate shoe maker. Thus, though be nsver bad but oue wife, General Jackson was thrice married. The knot so well tied never grew slack. Jackson always loved his wife. Mr. Hopkins tells an Incident illustrat ing bis devotion to her. Hopkins had remained over night at the General’s house after the death of hla wife. One morning he arose very early and start ed to walk toward the old family cem etery. He approached rather close to the grave of Mrs. Jackson, aud was surprised to find the General kneeling over It. He retraced his footsteps as soon as possible, but not too soon for the quick eye of the soldier to see him. • Afterward he spoke to him about the matter, and said that the act In which he, Hopkins, had b«beld him was uo uncommon one. Every morning, he said, be went to. the grave, for he thought that the proper place for him to conduct his religious devo tion was by the remains of his wife, who had been so dear to him, and who had so great aud so abiding a faith in the graciousuess of the Ruler of tbe Universe.

At present the cot ton Is picked from the boll, taken to a gin Which simply separates the Hut from the seed. TheTtu^ la then baled aud sent North for thanufactuling. With the Clement mill tbe Hut is not only separated from the seed, but It is spun Into yarn. The difference In val ue is enormous. The Hut cotton is worth only about eight cents a pound on the plantation; the yarn Is’worth seventeen cents a pound. It will be seen therefore that overy pound of cottou spun Is doubled In value. A bale of cottou ginned by the old process Is worth say 850; the same Cotton rim through tne new process Is worth 8100. Of this added value fully 813 la clear profit..

The rest, would be kept on the farms In the way of wages, etc. It looks unreaftonable “to apply these figures to the whole crop, aud yet It Would require no more rha crop into yarns, by the new process than it does to gin it by the odd. One Clement mill will do the work of three gins ami cost about ono-third as much. It is believed that they will rapidly take the place of glus on the plantations and that a thorough revolution will be effected. There are six Of these little mills In operation In Georgia and the Carol!- nas. Each of them Is visited dally by crowds of sight-seers and farmers and capitalists. Letters ar* received from all parts of the country, and samplse of the yarn have been Houlfblr by Liv erpool capitalists. Tbs yams made by this process are superior to any others aud took tbe premiums at all tbe fairs. The tflttle mills could not, all combined, stipply a fraction ot the demand that oouio* from Philadelphia alone for the yarns. One point that commends tbs de ment mills to the Houih is that-they will make an essentially Southern in dustry. The* cotton seed cannot be curried away from tbe fdaututlons. It must be spuu there juti us completely as It Is now ginned thWre. The mills are very simple. It Is simply the con nection of a gin with a spindle by means of carding cylinders. In the eld systefa the fibre Is chopped and torn from the seed by Hghtulng-llke saws and then thrown all tangled and .torn into tbe lint pile, theu packed Into bales, taken to tbe factories, picked out aud foggled again and theu carded luto rolls aud spun. In the new procees tbe gin moves slower, pulls the fibre from the s*ed Instead of tearing or )cuttiog it, transfers It carefully to a carding cylinder, instead of throwing Into thollnt pH®, ami spins it at once, instead of packing it, com pressing It and picking It out again. In the process of converting seed cot- ■ton into thread no less than four um- chincs used iu the old process are eliminated la the new process, and a profit of nearly two cents a pound is gained. This is an enormous margin ef profit. It Is proved plso that bv the superior gins used in the (Jlement mills eight per cent, more of Hnt is taken front the seed than by the old 'las. This eight per cent, has hereto- iore^been wasted. From the Hot to the thread there Is another five per cent, of wastage saved. The furore over these mills is won derful. They drive out all thoughts of politics. It Is estimated that over oue hundred will be put to work In Georgia within the next year. A prom inent cotton factory man predicted to me that the time would oome when the old factories would soatter their spindles among these plantation mills and supply their place with looms to weave the yarns sent la from the farms. The profits of these mills aro largo percentage. Tbe six mills Ip op peratlos average from thirty to sixty per cent. A mill that costs 83,500 has made $1,869 clear In one year, and it will do better next year. A double mill that cost $6,000 Is making from $8 to $10 a day, and Is safe for 83,000 a year. They are simple* snug HUle structures, looking like the ordinary country grist mHls. A six-horso pow er will ruu one of them. Several Northern capitalists have visited the mills and several companies are being formed to put them up. The South T'nrpKputs are full of outhiretastlc au tides eoncerning them.
