U The Mobile Times is
earnestly insisting on the par
tition of our large estates to
insure an increase ofpopulation
and a successful system of plan
ting. It says:
Let it be cody considered
by our citizens that the dream
of large estates will soon be
dispelled, and the sooner our
people shall awake to the ne
cessity of conforming to the
mode of cultivation of the free
States and of Europe, the bet
ter it will be for them and the
country at large. As soon as
a proper system of farming
shall have been introduced in
the country, its productive
powers will not only reach, but
even surpass the results of for
mer years, while a competation
will soon bring a desire to
launch into other pursuits, in
duced by the bountiful yield
of the soil.
"But to do this planters must
break off, from old habits, throw
off antiquated prejudices; and,
instead of talking about the
reunion of hearts, and other
such sorry stuff, seek in earnest
the true bond of communities
the bond of interest"

Tim Reagan is one of our
adopted felloW-citizens who
earns an honest livelihood by
doing any jobs usually that he
can get to do. Tim had been
asked q number of times to as
sist in unloading the coal YES
sells that come in here, and
contrary to his usual desire fol
a job, persistently refused. This
excited the curiosity of the
person engaged in that business
So much, that the other day, he
asked Tim what was the reason
that he would not work on
coal, to which Tim replied
"Indade, Mr.. c., I'll not do it
at all, at all; I knew a country
man of mine in Boston that
WOr-r-ked on coal all the time,
and his wife had two babies,
and they were both black, and
I'll not work on the black stuff,

- Forney, the Journalist

prayer for those who are labor
ing for the restoration of the
Southern people to the right OF
representation, calling upon
God to "SWeep them away as
with a pestilence, that their
qcires mag become acidoacs and
their children orphans, and that
their names become a kissing,
q by-word and a reproach
throughout all generations.
Curses, like chickens, come

danger that the prayer OF the
wicked for vengeance, on thost
whom they hate, will be visite(

u In the United States
there are 750 paper mills in
active operation. They pro-
duce 270,0O0,0OO pounds of pa
per, which, at an average of
ten cents per pound, would be
worth S27, 100000. AS it re-
quires about a pound and one-
half of rags to make one pound
of paper, there are consumed
by these mills 400, 900, 900
pounds of rags in asingle year.
If we estimate the rags to cost
four cents per pound, there
would be a profit of 81, 900, 900
in this branch of manufactur-
'ing.-[Ex.

~ Col. Sweet, of the San
Antonio Herald, is now in the
city of Mexico. "A Practical,
common sence man, looking in
to things there, he thus speaks
of the ex-Confederates in that
country
"Some of them are doing,yery
well, while others are only
making q bare subsistence.
Others are discouraged, and
are making arrangements to
return to the United States.
Most of these gentlemen came
to this country without money,
and without a knowledge of
the language, and it is no won
der that a number of them are
sadly disappointed in their
hopes. These who have ap-
piled themselves to learn the
language, and who have also
hunted up some occupation,
will certainly do well in time,
If the Empire succeeds"

u In the famine districts
in India, the enatiyes are reduced
to feed on roots and mango
stones, which they grind into
a kind of -four. This miserable
sustenance is wholly insult
ficient to keep a large number
of them from starving, and the
fearful spectacle is presented
of numerous corpses lying on
the highways. They remain
unburied, and, probably as a
consequence, cholera has bro
ken out, and is carrying of
large numbers Of persons. In
their utter distress mothers are
offering their children for sale
in order to buy bread.

A suit has been brought
against a Southern insurance
company in the city court Of
Augusta, Ga, by the represen-
tatives of a Confederate con-
script who died in service. The
company claim that the entry
of the deceased into military
service avoids the policy. The
heirs insist that, as that entry
was involuntary, the COM
pany are holden. The city
court sustained. the company,
and tina case has been appealed.

The idle man is an annoyance
"a nuisance. He is of no ben
eft to anybody. He is an in
truder in the busy thoroughfare
of every day life. He stands
in our path and we push him
aside. He is of no advantage
to anybody. He annoys busy
men. He makes them unhappy.
He is a cipher in society. He
may have an income to support
him in idleness, or he may
sponge" on his good natured
friends. But in either case he
is despised. Young man, do
something in this busy wide
awake world. Move about for
the benefit of mankind, If not
for yourself. Do not be idle.
Gods law is that by the sweat
OF our brow we shall earn our
bread. That law is a good one,
and the bread we earn is sweet.
Do not be idle. Minutes are
too precious to be squandered
thoughtlessly. Every man and
every woman, however exalted,
or however humble, can do
good in this short life, if so in
clined, therefore do not be idle.

weak, and poor. Being In the circulation, i&
peryades the whole body, and may burst cut
in disease on any part Of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which il may
not destroy The scrofulous taint is variouily
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and.
above all, by the venereal infection. What

stitution, descending" from parents to childrA
unto the third and fourth generation; indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, ~
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upsA
their children
It's effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or uleerous matter, which, m
f the lungs liver, and internal organs, is terasd
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, SO that scrofulous consttr-
tions not only suffer from scrofulous eom-
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks Of other diseases; conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature
are still rendered fatal by this taint IN the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver kidneys, brain.

Ague Cure,
FOR THE SPEEDY CURE or


Intermittent Fever, OF Fever and Ague,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed
for the whole class OF diseases originat-
ing i'm hillary arrangement, caused by
the Malaria OF MiasHnatic Countries.
We are enabled here to offer the community O
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity. Such a remedy is invaluable in districts
where these affecting disorders prevail. This
"CURB" expes the miasmatc poison Of FRvER
AND AGUE from the system, and prevents the do
veopment of the disease, if taken on the first ap-
proach of its preInonitory symptoms. Its not only
the best remedy yet discovered for this class
of complaints, but also the cheapest. The large
quantity we supply for dollar brings it within the
reach of every body; and in bilious districts, where
FEVER AND AGUE prevails, every body should
have il and it freely both for cure and protec-
ton. great superiority Of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of lnternttents is that it contains no Qunne
or mineral, consequently itproduces no quinisn or
other injurious effects whatever upon the constite-
ton. Those cured by it are left as healthy as IL
they had never had the disease.
/. Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence OF
the miasmatic poison. great variety of discr-
derS arise from its irritation, among which are
Retvakgia, Rheumatism, GO,st, Headache, Blind
ness, Toothache, EaTache, CGtGrrh, Asthna, PGS
pitatiOn. Painful Afectton Of the Spleen, HysteT-
tcS, Pam IN me bofcetS, IoRc, lWutysts anu Ds-
ranqemem of the Stomach, all of which, when
originating in this cause put on the tntcrni,Hsnf
type or become periodical. This "CURE" expels
the poison from the blood and consequently cures
them all alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. If taken occa-
sionally or daily while exposed to the injection,
that will be excreted from the system, and cannot
accumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into dis
ease. Hence it is even more valuable for pretes-
ton than cure and few will suffer from lntee-
mittents if they avail themselves of the protection
this remedy affords. .e..E
