A FEARFUL BELGIAN TRAGEDY.
The Progress du Nord states that in u
village of Belgium (name not given) a
young girl in service at Brussels had
saved little fortune of 1900 francs.
Hearing her mother was i'll and re-
quired her care, she left her home by
rail, and had to alight about league
distant theretrom TO reach her des-
tination she would have to pass a
wood, and fearing the dangers of the
way, she resolved to pass the night at
the house of an uncle who lived near
She aroused her relations, told her
story and her fears, was put into the
room of her female cousin who was
out at work. While lying awake she
overheard q convels ation which filled
her with horror. Her hosts were
planning to murder her for the money
she carried. Thereupon she leaped
from the window and fled. half naked
until utterly exhausted she encounter
ed two gendarmes. After she told
them what had happened, they led her
back to her uncle's house where a
light was observed in distant. part of
the garden. The gendarmes approach
ed the spot silently, and found that
both the uncle and aunt were engag-
ed burying Il body enwrapt in a blood
stained cloth. The cloth was sudden
snatched away, and the murderers ut
tered a common cry of terror. The
victim was their daughter, who, hay
ing come home late, had crept up
stairs quietly so as not to alarm her
parents, and had been killed in mis-
take for her cousin. The aunt went
mad forthwith, and the uncle stabbed
himself from remorse and dread Of the
consequence Of his crime.

Some colored Migrants recently
arrested in Georgia were allowed their
choice Of twelve months in Jail or
twelve months indenture to work,
and chose the former. They probab-
ly thought that working under linden
ture would be very like slavery.
There seems to be a tendency in
Georgia to act harshly with colored
Migrants. Twelve months imprison-
ment is severe penalty for the of
fence of having nothing to do; but
Imprisonment is better than indentur-
ing. In England, where the agricul-
tural laborers work by contract from
year to year, and are arrested if they
leave their masters service, their con-
dition is almost as bad as was that of
the Maryland or Virginia slave before
the war.

PAYMAsTER HoDGEs DEFALCATIoN.
The government after long fgur-
ing has ascertained that the loss to the
United States by the defalcation OF
Paymaster Hodge is $443,116,2l,
which is probably correct His bonds
we're only $sO,OOO-which are of no
value to the government. President
Grant RENTED first, his fine, and next
pardoned him from prison. This
transaction leaves the people of the
United States just s443,116,21 out of
pocket !! F! What may seem now more
strange is, that this self same thief,
Hodge, is reinstated in the public
service. A very pleasant way to
punish thieves and defaulters and,
under this very lenient treatment al
most any one can afford to become
such, without the least fear Of punish
ment, or conjunction of conscience.
Our National Government is now
quite queer thing, and recklessly
administered.

The people ofthe Southern States

That EayOrite Home Remedy,
PAIN KILLER

NaE vi vi - - - . u
Has been before the public over THIRTY YEARS,
and probably has wider and better reputation
than any other proprietary medicine of the
present day. At this period there are but few
unacquainted with the merits of the PAIN
KILLER but while some extol it as liniment,
they know but little of its power in easing
pain when taken internally while others use
it internally with great success, but are equal
ly ignorant of its healing virtues when applied
externally. We therefore wish to say to all,
that it is equally successful whether used in
ternally or externally. 1t is sufficient evidence
of its virtues as standard medicine to know
that it is now used In all parts of the world
and that its sale is constantly increasing. No
curative agent has had such wide spread sale
or given such universal satisfaction,
DAVIS PAIN-KILLER is purely vegetable
compound prepared from the best and purest
materials, and with care that insures the
most perfect uniformity in the medicine asd
while it is a most effective remedy for pain, it
is perfectly safe medicine, even in the mo st
unskilful hands.
1t is eminently FAMILY MEDICINE and by
being kept ready for immediate resort, will
save many an hour of suffering, and many a
dollar in time and doctors bills.
After over thirty years trial, it is still recev-
ing the most unqualified testimonials to its
virtues, from persons of the highest character
and responsibility. Eminent Physicians COM
mend it as q most effectual preparation for
the extinction of pain. 1t is not only the best
remedy ever known for Bruises, Cuts, Burns.
&C., but for Dysentery, or Cholera. Or any sort
of bowel complaint, it is a remedy unsurpass.
for efficiency, and rapidity of action. In the
great cities of India, and other hot climates, it
has become the standard medicine for all such
complaints, as well as for Dyspepsia, Liver
Complaints, and all other kindred disorders
For Coughs and Colds, Canker, Asthma, and
Rheumatic difficulties it has been proved by
the most abundant and convincing testimony
to be an invaluable medicine.
We would caution the public against all imi-
tations of our preparation, either in name or
style Of putting up.
