In the year 1912, Mr.. Winston, having
calculated the return Of q comet, which
was to make its appearance on WedDes-
day, the l4th of October, at Eve minutes
after i've in the morning, gave notice TO
the public accordingly, with this terrify-
ing additiOn-that total dissolution Of
the world by fire was to take place on the
Friday following. The reputation which
Mr.. Winston had long maintained, both
as n divine and philosopher, left little or
no doubt with the pOpulace Of the truth
Of his prediction. Several ludiCEOus events
now took place. A number of persons
about London, seized all the barges and
boats they could lay their hand on on the
Thames, very nationally concluding that
when the conAagratiOn took place there
gould be the most safety on the water

the act Of their officer, and, instead Of in
generating the captives in Fort Warren,

ZoLLIcoFFER--The Washington cor
respondent Of the Bulletin writes as fol-
lows concerning the rebel General, now
no more:
The rebel General, Felix X. Zollicoffar,
killed at the battle near Somerset, was
born in MOwry county, Tenn, on May 10,
1879. He received an academical educa-
tion, served some time in a printing Of
fee, and in 1929 became an editor of 4
newspaper in Paris, Tennessee. He was
afterwards, in 1884, editor Of the Colum-
bia Tenn.) O6serUer; in 1885, State
Printer, and in 1912 editor of the Nash
vile Banner, then the official paper of the
Wing party of that State. In lS439 he
was Controller of the State Treasury /;
lS49 he was chosen to the State Senate !;
1850 he built the suspension bridge at
Nashville, and after another period Of ed
itorShip of the Nashville Banner, he was,
in 1852, elected to Congress, where he
served three terms. He was fine deba.
ter, when reused, as his discussions with
Alexander Fl. Stevens proved in 1854 in
Congress. When the war broke out he
warmly espOused the Confederate cause,
and was made General, and for some
time held Cumberland Gap with q small
force; was appointed Brigadier General,
advanced into Kentucky, and was defeated
ut Camp Wild Cat. knew HollieOffer
well when in Congress, and he was gene
rally esteemed as a most honorable, pune
tiliOus but unobtrusive SOuthsrner. 1t
is a matter of great surprise to his many
friends Of former days, that man of his
clear head, and who during nearly all his
life was in conflict with the radical South
ern element in which secession found its
birth, should at last have yielded to its
full influence. Think be leaves no Eami-
ly except an accomplished daughter, who
was married year or two ago.

In bill before the Senate, relative to
the management of the Jail in Washing.
ton City, an amendment, was offered and
adopted. "That no person be hereafter

would have been taken, for there are hun

arrested in loyal States, where the [ ourts

any charge against them. Why should
not these persons in loyal States have AT
least tHc-same privileges thatare granted
to the negroes in Washington? Can any
one tell us! The Detroit Free Press. on
this subject, thus speaks for the people Of
Michigan: ......... .........-.

Gorcement of the Constitution, where it
can be enforced. They only excuse ex-
traordinary measures, when they are the
result of absolute necessity. III this they
are right Not man in Michigan doubts
that the persons lately carried from this
State to Fort Warren could have been ar.
rested by regular warrants, imprisoned in
this judicial district, tried before the pa
triotic Judge Wilkins, and jury Of our
people, with perfect certainty that they
would duly be convicted or scqaieted, ac-
cording to the law and testimony"

THEY have, it is said, rifle company
in Vermont whose captain takes them
out once week to practice; he draws
them up in single file. and sets a cider
barrel rolling down the hill; the men
commence shooting from right to left at
the bung.hOle as it comes up. After the
shooting is over, the captain examines the
barrel, and If he finds shot that did not
enter the -bang-bOle, the member who
missed is expelled. None have been ex-
PEELED for the last eight years.

TIE LATEST MAN.-In the summer of
1S46, corn being scarce out West, and one
of the citizens being hard pressed for
bread, having worn out the hospitality Of
his neighbOrs by his extreme lazineSs, they
thought it an act of charity to bury him.
Accordingly he was carried"tO the place
of interment, and being met by one Of the
citizens, the following conversation took
place:
Halo! what have you got there?"
"POOr old Mr.. s."
"What! is he dead' haven't heard
of his death"
mo, he isn't dead, but he might as
well be, for he has no corn and is too lazy
to work for any,"
"Now, that is most too cruel for civil
ICED people. I'll give him two bushels of
corn myself rather than see him buried
alive"
Mr. S. raised the cover and asked him
in his usual drawling tone: "ISit Shelled!"
No. but you can shell it. d"
"Drive on, boys!" he exclaimed.

BALSAMIC CORDIAL,
FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF
Coughs,

FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF
Coughs,
Colds, Influenza,
Group, HoarSeness, Bronchitis,
Pneumonia, Diseases of the Botcels,
arising from Cold, Incipient Consumption,
and for the relief and If at all pos
sible) cure Of patients in advanced
stages Of the latter
disease.
TNHE Balsamic Cordial is entirely We
i getable production, combining the
healing properties of the Balsam, with the
invigorBting qualities of a Cordial, produc-
ing combination so well adapted to the
purposes intended, that there are but few
cases Of disease which will not, at an ear
ly period, succumb to its healing and life
giving properties.
For ages, has the treatment of pulmo-
nary diseases occupied the greater portion
of the attention of the scientific of the
medical world, but none acquired more
eminence in his treatment of these diseas-
es, than the celebrated Prussian Dr. HooE-
land, the originator of the Balsamic Cor
dtal. His life was devoted to the produc-
ton of remedies that would stand unri-
vailed. How well he has succeeded, the
American people are able to Judge; and
we positively assert, that no preparations
that have ever been placed before them,
have conferred the same amount of bene-
fits on suffering humanity, or have elici-
ted SO many COMMUNICATIONS from all
classes of society, as the remedies of DIR.
Hoofand, prepared by DR.. G. M. Jackson

The Cordial is designed for class of
diseases more general and more fatal than
any other to which the people of this
country are subject-those springing from
''slgM cold" That eminent authority,
DR.. Bell, says: 81 will not say that colds
are to our inhabitants what the Plague
and YelIoD Feser are to those of other
countries; but ! can aver confidently that
they usher in disease of greater complicis
ty and mortality than the latter"
