Go TO THE SOUTHERN HOTEL, MEM pH1s. TEYN-This popular Hotel is very centrally located, being two souares from the steamboat landing. The proprietors being old citizens claim large share of the travelling nublic, particularly the planters and merchants of Arkansas and Mississip- nj. steamboat and railroad officers. The charges have been reduced from s3 60 to S2 % per day. Families at reduced rates. Free passage to guests for the hotel from steamboats and railroad depots by omnibus, street railroad cars and hotel carriages. Ho- tel porters on arrival of boats and trains will exchange checks for bag rage. Don't forget the Southern Hotel.
 To OUR FRIESps.--As defenders of the people, and as sentinels upon the wall, it is plainly our duty to warn the public against perilous foe in what ever shape or form he may present himself.
 Harbingers of death are clustering thickly around you, and every family is in quest of some kind of reliable family Medicine to stay the blighting hand of disease.
 Just here, permit us to give you some honest advice. A number of Southern Physicians are now preparing class of Family Medicines, specially adapted to the diseases of the South. See ad- yertisement of the ''Great Southern Preparations" in another column, and we take much pleasure in giving ahem n hearty recommendation.
 In Great Britain, statistics com piled from authentic sources relative to the moneyed power of the laboring population of Great Britain, show that there are 1910 cooperative societies carrying on the business of grocers or provision sellers, with an aggregate capital of S20,000, and of these about two- thirds have been successful in a financial point of view. The building and freehold land societies" represent q capital of S70,000,000, about S50,000,- GOO of which are invested in dwellings for members. The cooperative asso- citations, trade societies. friendly and benevolent societies, building associa- tions and savings banks all combined, represent a capital of nearly S60o,oo0,- GOO.

Smiths Tonic Syrup! FOR THE CURE OF A c . . -A N . zvl . E
 OR
CHILLS & FEVER.

The proprietor of this celebrated medcin jnstly claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever offered to the public for the safe, certaa, speedy, and permanent cure of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether of short or long standing. He refers to the entire Western and Southwestern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the as sertion, that in no case whatever will it fail to cure if the directions are strictly followed and carried out. In great many cases single dose has been sufficient for cure and whole families have been cured by single bottle, With perfect restoration of the gem eral health. It is, however, prudent, and in every case more certain to cure, if its use IS continuedsn smaller doses for week or two after the disease has been checked, more es- pecially in difficult and long-standing cases. Usually this medicine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order; should the patient, however, require a cathartc medicine, after having taken three or four doses of the Tonic. a single dose of BULL $ VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will be suih- cient.

The Future of Science.

Sir J. Y Simpsoo,Gof Edinburgh, who adds
to bis great fame as the head Of the progress
sive school Of surgery aud medicine In Grea
Britain touch Of poetcal genius and a decid-
ed bent towards universal kno9ledge. in his
studies. INDUCES in the following anticipations
Of the future progress Of the healing art. -
But that day of revolution will not proba-
bly, be fully realized till those distant days
when physcians-a century or two hence
shall be familiar with the chemistry OF most
diseases; then they shall know the exact or
canic poisons that produce them, with all their
exact antidotes and eliminatories; when they
shall look upon the cure Of some maladies as
simply series OF chemical problems and for
nuie when they shall melt down all :calculi
necrosed bones, &c, chemically, aud not re-
move them by surgical operations when the
bleeding Ia i'amputations and other wounds
shall be stemme3 not by septic ligatures or
stupid needles, butby the simple application,
of hemos;atic gases or washes; when the few
wounds then required In surgery shall all be
swiftly and Immediately healed by the first IN:
teution when medical men shall be able to
stay the ravages Of tubercle, blot out fevers
and inAammations, avert and melt down NOR
It'd growths, cure cancer, destroy all
morbifc organic germs and ferments,
aunuld the deadly influences of mala-
ria and contagious, and by these and
various other means markedly lengthen out the
average duration of human lite; when our hy-
gienic condition AID laws shall have been chang
ed by state legislation, so as to forbid all com-
municabe and remove all causes of sickness,
that are removable; when the rapidly increas-
ing length of human life shall begin to fulfill
that ancient prophecy sthe child shall die an
hundred years DID, whenthere shall have been
achieved, too, advances in other walks OF life,
far beyond our present state of progress; when
houses shall be built and many other kinds of
work performed by machinery, and not by hu-
man hands alone, when the crops in these IS.
lands shall he increased five or ten fold: and
abundance of human food provided for our in
creased population by our fields being irrigated
by that waste organic refuse of our towns which
we now recklessly run off into our rivers and
seas; when men shall have Invented means, OF
calling down rain at will; when. we shall have
gained cheaper and better motive powers than
steam; when we Shall travel from continent to
continent bv submarine railways, or by flying
and baooning through the air. i3,,1 .1i5.
There is certainly nothing in all this that can
be called mpossible-nothing to rival the Won
lers Of the last halfcentury. 1Jlai-a ~ J1llao
