Of ten per cent per annum. The demand
for money on the street is good, and good

at 1909. For the small lots offered here
dealers pay los, while they hold at 1929.
Silver is taken at 102 for halves and quar-
tiers.

come confirmed inebriates. y beverage n hich
will not create thirst for Intoxicating liquors,
and which is intended especially tor the benefit
OF debilitated persons, whether at home or
abroad, is DIR. Schsncss's Sea Weed Tonic. Con-
tanning the juices OF many medicinal herbs, this
preparation does not create an appetite for the
intoxicating cup. The noarishing and the life
supporting properties OF many valuable natural
productions contained in Il. and well known to
medical men, have most strengthening inhu-
enCe. A single bottle OF the Tonic will demon
stTate its valuable qualities. For debility, aris-

cause whatever, wine giassful of Sea Weed
Tonic, taken after meals, viii strengthen the

"a REPRESENTATIVE SOUTH.
EaEERss


A representative Southerner is Gov.
Hebert, of Louisiana, and third term
man at that. "Arepresentative South.
erner," we mean after the type por-
trayed by the NeaC Orleans Bulletin, as
follows:
For the privilege of having Gen.
Hebert figure in the capacity of Levee
Commissioner the tax-impoverished
people OF Louisiana pay the mag
nifcent sum of $4,000 per annum,
which the General has forwarded to
him at Long Branch or elsewhere with
out having been in sight of a levee,
though we believe he has oc-
casionaIly fixed his valuable sig
nature to arrays of figures COM
piled by JEFF. Thompson. For letter
which the General wrote, falsely stat
ing that the people of Louisiana pre-
ferred the heel of the usurper Kellogg
upon their necks to a new election,
he was given almost Immediately the
new Office of United States Commits
sioner on alluvion reclamation, with a
salary of $1,000 per annum. For the
letter advocating Grant for a third
term he viii no doubt obtain a Cabinet
appointment or a foreign mission.
Meanwhile poor Louisiana pays taxes
and browns, and the clink Of the cham
payne glasses and hilarious laughter
at Long Branch is all that is heard re-
spOnsIye.
The NelUark Advertiser cannot stand
this little arrangement, and says:
In this connection the South has one
consolation. Such bastard representa-
tives as this Hebert are powerless To
make any lasting impression on the
Northern mind except suchas cOnsigns
him to merited obloquy and contempt,
such as is always extended to base be-
trayers Of peoples and principles. Our
Southern brethren can rest assured
that no purchased sentiment" can
have any weight among our people SO
long as she has men to speak truly for
her as spoke Gen. Gordon, the gallant
son of Georgia, recently, when he said:
eff 1t were possible for me To advocate
a third term for any man, that advo-
cacy certainly could not be given to
one whose success would continue in
power for four years longer the party
whose pitiless measures have brought
sorrow and ruin to our people and ire
parable damage to our free institu-
tons"

A COOL REQUEST.

A man in San Francisco, who is now
contending in the courts with his wife for
the possession of their little daughter, has
recently received the following astounding
letter:
'FRIEND FRED:-I suppose you will be
greatly surprised 10 receive this letter from
me, and still more surprised to hear what
wish. | want your Bessie. My wife is
going 10 get a divorce on the ground of
adultery, and if you will only send Bessie
will make her my lawful wife. love her
dearly. She loves me. and we can be hap
DIV together. l will pay the expenses of the
suit-you TO leave her. You would rather
see he happy than as she is. My wife and
myself never got along together, and l
never loved her as | love Bessie jackson.
"From yours, truly, 4. i. HUNT."

count of talk. Please answer

GoRDoNsvILE, Aug. 10, 1874.
WHY THE sOUrH FAILED.

In his address at the late commence
ment of the University of Georgia,
Gen. John B. Gordon incidentally
made the following allusion to the war
of coercion, and the failure of the
Southern cause. He said:
And Just here / am tempted to
break the thread of my argument to
make remark which l think ought 10
be made in this connection. 1t is this:
That this civilization and these institu-
tions, whatever may be said of their
evils, were also the sources from which
sprung the matchless prOwess and self
sacrifice exhibited by the South in the
late war. And as l have introduced
this subject, let me add also that /
mean no mimic regret when l deplore
the efforts to place the responsibility of
our failure at the door of this or that
man, or upon this or that cause. The
truth is, we have failed because it
was impossible to succeed; and If. with
all the experience of both sides, we had
the war to fight over again, we should
accomplish no more; nor has any other
race, under like circumstances, ever ac-
COui kJllSuCu ~ 4uuCA III Tic past 1AOl
can ever accomplish so much in the flu
ture. What is it you ought TO have
done that was lett undone? You did
all that human hands could accomplish,
human intellect suggest, human skill
devise, or human hearts endure. And
you yielded at last only to overwhe-m-
ing calamities, to crushing impossible
titles, to the DEGREES of a destiny as in
exorable as ieath-to resist which you
brought public and private economy,
public and private devotedness and
unitedDess, skill, intellect, courage,
will, energy, sacrifices, prayers,
churches, States, manhood and woman
hood; enduring suffering, struggling
with a faith, a heroism and martial
spirit unexampled in history and ns-
irons IN defeat.

A LESSON FOR TIE CHANGERS.

A development of the cheap trans
portation movement" IN Iowa has been
productive of some consequences for
which our friends the Changers of that
State did not bargain. Whilst they
have been successfully agitating the
reduction of transportation charges,
the entcrprising Californians have ac-
tually been taking advantage of these
reduced charges to introduce their pro,
duce into Iowa and thus undersell the
farmers of that State! The turnip
market at Des Moines has been monop-
olized by California, and the Iowa tur-
nip-growers are beginning to think that
turnips ought to be excepted where new
tariffs are made up under the new tariff
laws.

LAST March, says the Detroit Free
Press, a man named Emory Prattle, 4
machinist in the employ of the Mich
igan Car Company, made a bet with
another man as to which could longer
hold out the handles Of an electric bat
terry which a travelling nuisance had on
the Campus Martius. Prattle won the
bet, but at heavy cost. His system re-
ceived such a shock that up to this
time he has not been able to do days
work. He has fallen away from pow
erful, heavy man to a skeleton almost,
and his physician cannot say that he
will ever be restored to health.
