UNwHoLEsosIE FooD.-By the unnatu-
raj combinations of different articles by ig-
norant persons for baking powders, (even
if articles are pure) they render the food
very indigestible, as the chemical action,
when they enter the stomach, prevents
their being digested. Of these mixtures
it requires but a small quantity to make
food very unwholesome. DIR. Prices Cream

-Loisen Nelson, of Davenport, feeling
too poor to employ an undertaken to bury
his dead babe, put it in box, and, with a

Beecher-TiltOn Scandal.

The Beecher-T ilton embroglio
has broken out in a fresh place.
This time TIlton, goaded by the
taunts of Bacon, writes a long piece
for his Golden Age,s sadly berating
Beecher for his conduct towards
himself This time the piquancy
of TiltOn's attack is highly sea
soned by an extract purporting to
be taken from a letter of Beecher
to Tilton, in which a confession is
made by Beecher of having done
some great harm to Tilton. This
offense Tilton characterizes as a
nameless crime. In plain English,
TiltOn wishes the world to believe
that the great Plymouth preacher
has been too intimate with Mrs.
Tilton. 1t should be borne in
mind that not many months ago
the notorious Victoria G.. Wood
hull published a most disgusting
detail of the amours of Beecher.

WHEN Napoleon the Great died
at st. Helena, an English physi-
clan took charge of his heart, de-
posting it in a silver basin filed
with water. Two tapers burned
near it, but the custodian felt ncr-
vously anxious while watching it
through the night, and did not
sleep. In the silence of midnight
he heard a rustling sound, then a
plunge into the water, and a re-
bound on the fioor-all occurring
with the quickness of a thought.
He sprang from his bed to see an
enormous rat dragging the precious
relic to his hole! A moment more
and the heart which had been too
vast in its ambition to be satisfied
with the sovereignty of continental
Europe would have been more de-
graded than the dust of Imperial
Caesar.

J.R. G. BROWN.
A Brief History of His Mer-
camille Success in Pulaski.
What Pluck Persistency and
Printers Ink will Do.
"TalI oaks from Little Acorns
Grow"

Ill GhS . ~ III VI LOW III
Brown, then an unmarried man, we
believe, and evidently quite young,
came to Pulaski prominence his
career as a merchant, determined to
make this his home and build up. a
profitable and prosperous business,
but hardly anticipating, we imagine,
the brilliant success which has fol-
lowed his efforts. He started out,
however, with principle which
has been rigldly adhered to, to sell
goods at the smallest profit posi-
BILE and exclusively for cash, and
the result has been wonderful, as
briefly detailed below.
1t was the 9th day of April, 1870,
that he opened in a small, modest
way, in one of the rooms now oc-
cupied by his emporium, with only
two statesmen, Mr.. H. G. Brown
and Mr.. A. P. Neil. 1t was not
long before people began to find
the cheap cash store, for he did
not hide his liz Z under bushel,
but used prinV RS ink freely and
effectually. Soon he found it nee
essary to employ two additional
statesmen, and such was the rapid
increase of trade that in the spring
of 1871 he found it necessary to
occupy the adjoining store-room
and to employ seven statesmen.
Communication was established be
tween the two rooms by means of a
wide open doorway, and the goods
classified and divided-Dry Goods,
Clothing, Fancy Goods, Notions,
&c, in one, and Groceries, Family
Supplies, CONNECTIONS, &C., in the
other-both stocks were largely in
creased and two additional sales
men and a porter became necessary
to accommodate his now colossal
trade. Many predicted that this
last venture would prove a failure
that Brown was spreading out too
largely and too rapidly. But nine
statesmen and porter are now kept
busy, and a business Of 100000
per annum has been established in
the short space of three years, and
during the entire time so cents
worth of goods have not been sold
on credit.
Branches have been established
at Columbia and Fayetteville, each
of which is now doing a leading
business in its place, and the cor
bined purchases of the main house
and its branches from importers
ard manufacturers aggregate a
quarter. OF million per annum.
All OF this as attributable TO pluck,
persistency and. printers ink. Mr.
Brown isAnow extending both of
his store-rooms thirty feet in the
rear to make room for his still in
