Watering Places.

To the pent-up resident of the crowd
ed city, or busy town-to the weak and
facilitated woman-the anticipation
when the hot dusty and sickly sum-
ner days have come, of a few weeks
yisit and rest;at some delightful, quiet
retreat, where the DIR is pure, the
breezes fresh and the waters healing,
is like the shadow of great rock in
the Desert How pleasant to the long
suffering invalid to be rid Of the hot,
close room-the uninviting walls with
its furniture and hangings SO sugges-
tive of restless nights, to days ofsuffer-
ing how delightful to think of q
whirl in railroad car of few hours,
then a jaunt over the hills in q springy
coach, a view of the farms and farm
houses, aud tho green woods, snuff
Of the fresh air and alighting safely
Mt the springs; and then the quiet,
the rest, the; freedom from care aud
business, the nice, fresh, well cooked
and wen served food, the cosy little
room with its clean white walls, the
soft bed and clean sheets, and the ut
ter absence of all annoyances in the
way of musquito-bars, barred doors
and windows. Surely, all these make
up sum of health-giving happiness
to be envied by the members of the
"Can't-get-a-away Club" rer F.
81 But, alas for human felicity, what
we have written is but the anticipa-
tionT''the substance of things hoped
for, the evidence Of things not SEEM"
for we find that there is not only q
skeleton in every household to stop
up the current of happiness, but there
win be found at all watering places,
skeletons in the shape of FLORA
McFLIMsEYs, both male and female,
who falling to be happy themselves, re-
solve upon the misery of the whole
human race there assembled. sr

plish this mischief are SO simple, so art

though the offender destroys the hap

law, either human or divine, by which
he or she can be punished. FLORA
goes to the springs early and remains
during the season. She has one trunk

wardrobe. She has a dashing waiting
maid who copies all her Alterations,
and sings her praises to the chamber
maids and walters. She wears many

and affects the Grecian bend, sligh
cough. She calls all ladies who do not
live in the cities, "Tdckies" and forgets
that her Dear Papa was once a village
tinker. She is first to note the last ar
rival starring into the face ofthe pale
lady, like horned witch. She criti-
| cises every ones dress, declares them
cheap, questionable and unbecoming

not to render the patient too weak to contend
with it. within the last twenty years, however,

doctors no longer recommend the reduction Of
the invalid's strength by prostrsting medicines.
The vast success which has attended the use Of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as remedy for dsbil-
ity, has given even the most prejudiced members
of the old school an insight into the only true aud
rational tn ,ory of cure. OSnthsrideS, calomel,
and empowering doses Of opium, are now among
the obsolete nostrums Of another age. The Ian
Get, once as much the legitimate weapon of the
physician as the sword is of the soldier, is sell

and wster-gruel for the strengthless invalid has
ceased to be considered an appropriate diet.
Vigor Is the motto of the rational members Of the
profession, and they understand, at last, the
value OF a sterling vegetable tonic. So, also,
with the people at large; and without consulting
medical men at all, they have adopted the Bitters
as a household remedy, thereby economising both

ture of this department of the Treasury,
is that the largest part of the work is done
by women. They are employed to count
the sheets, to print, cut, recount and put
up in packages for delivery. The ruason
given for their employment is that they
have been found to do the work more ex-
peditiously and more accurately, and are
regarded as more honest than men. That
is an honorable compliment to woman.
There are large numbers of women en-
ployed in the other departments of the
treasury building, and they give the same
satisfaction there as IN the printing de-
partment. e

LITTLE STORY ON CR.NT.

The Roanoke (Va) Times published
the following:
A good story ia told by one of the
Methodist ministers Low in this place at.
tending conference. We do not recollect
ever secingit in print, and we think it too
good to be lost. 1t Is as follows:
During the war ''Confed." was cap
tured by the Yankees and happened to be
taken to Gen. Grants headquarters. At
ter being questioned by the General the
old ''Confed." asked him where he was
going.
81 am going, says Grant, ''Lo Rich
mOnd, to Petersburg, to Heaven, and, it
may be, will go TO He'll"
After cycling the General for several
moments, the old "Confed." said:
seen. Grant, you can't go to Richmond,
for Gen. Lee is there; you can't go to
Petersburg, for Gen. Beauregard is there;
you can't go to Heaven, for Stonewall
Jackson is there; but as to going TO Hell,
you may get there, for l know of no Con-
Tolerate in that region"

Of our citizens have already passed away.
Valuable shrubbery and shade trees have

uumistakable evidence that they have gone
not to return in the spring. Crops through

shebs. Il was grown by Mr.. Rogers,
near Dan, and while it is so fine, we are
assured it is an indifferent sample from
his fine orchard, some of which weighed
two pounds. He has realized handsomely
from fruits this season. One of bis
fine cherry trees produced enough to sell
fer $50 cash. These mountains mast some
day become great orchards, whose crops

Railroad Meeting and Barbecue at
Oakland.

According to previous appointment, the
citizens of Oakland and surrounding coun-
try met together last Thursday, for the
purpose OF taking into consideration the
question of the proposed road from Mem
phis to jackson. About two thousand
persons were present. In the forenoon,
E. r Scruggs, of Someryilie, and Colonel
w. W. Vaughan, of Brownsville, made
telling and effective speeches of consider
able length, in which they set forth the
necessity of the road and the advantages it
would yield The people seemed to par
tic'pato in the sentiments of the speakers,
ard were highly enthusiastic. At the close
of Col. Yaughan's speech, dinner was an
nounced. 1t was an old-fashioned barbecue,
such as the good people of Fay cite know
how to get up. Three long tables arranged
in beautiful grove near the speakers stand
were covered with everything calculated to
tempt the appetite. The entire crowd,
white and black, were abundantly served
from this bounteous repast. After such
feast, they were well prepared TO listen to
the remaining speeches Mr.. W. A. Mil
hken, rising young lawyer of Someryille,
was called to the stand, when he delivered
an excellent speech, which was listened to
with marked attention. He was followed
by MIR. Little, of Macon, who made a
8 eech of some length. Mr.. Scruggs and
OIL. Vaughan we're both called to the stand
q second time and entertained the crowd
in excellent style, and with great earnest
ness. The large audience were united in
the determination to have the road, and
seemed willing to support it by giving ma
rial aid when the proper time should
come. The people everywhere seem
deeply intert st d in this matter, and will
most certainly make it a complete success.
