WhilS the people in the county, who
have farms for sale, and who are anxious
to see Immigrants come and settle among
us, are waiting for something to turn up.
and depending on the county papers to do
all the work, the citizens in other cOun>
ties are making up sums Of money to dis.
tribute their county papers through the
North and West. They are also writing
articles 70 be published giving q full dis
c;ption Of the country and showing the
superior advantages over the Western
: ststes.i Ifyouf' expect editors to, work
end succeed, they must have the assistance
and cooperation Of the people generally.
r Is hundred men in this county would
write us short articles, describing their
owa neighborhoods, and then subscribe
: euly one dollar each for papers to be dis
trbstsd over the North, it would have a
\ wonderful effect, and would BY and BY
psythem a fine profit. Our people have
not been educated for advertising our
county and seeking immigrants and capi>
tol as other sections are doing. This ac>
counts for their tardiness in commencing

Treating The Wrong Disease.

Many times women call upon their family ply
scians, one with dyspepsia, another with pslpIta-
tIon, another with trouble in the breast, another
with pain here and there and In this way they all
present alike to themselves and their easy going
and Indifferent doctors separate and distinct dis
eases, for which he prescribes his pills and po-
lions, assuming them to be SUCH when, In reality,
they are all symptoms caused by some uterine
disorder; and while they are thus only able, per-
haps to palliate for a time, they are ignorant OF
the cause, and encourage their practice until
large bills are made when the suffering patients
are no better In the end, but probably worse, for
the delay, treatment and other complications
made, and which q proper medicine directed to
the cause would have entirely removed thereby In
shutting health and comfort instead Of prolOnged
misery.
From Miss LOrinda E. st. Clair, Shade, Athens
county, Ohio:
"Dr. r. V. Pierce. Buffalo, N. Y: Your favorite
prescription is working almost like miracle on
me. am better already than l have been for
over two years."
From Ella A. Schafer, GAINESVILLE, Ind:
"Dr. Pierce: received the medicine you sent
me and began using 1t Immediately. As result
OF the treatment, ! feel better than have Tor
three years."
From Mrs. John X Hamilin, Odell. ILL.,:
"Dr. Pierce: The favorite prescription has done
me good, which am very thankful for"

CIVIL RIGHTS,

a Test Case In Shaving Saloon.
The first test of the civil rights in the District
since the adoption Of the bill occurred yesterday
at Wizards hotel. About o'clock p. m. two
Well-dressed colored men who frequent the neigh
borhood of the division" and slightly under the
influence Of liquor, entered the barroom Of the
hotel and called for drinks in q very insulting
manner. The request was complied with and the
liquor drank, after which they proceeded to the
barber shop, where they made application to be
shaved. They were not as successful at this
place as in the BARRON, and were told by one Of
the employees OF Mr.. Stewart, the proprietor of
the hair-dressing saloon, that only gentlemen
were shaved there.
They demanded further that their desire be
grained, but met with prompt refusals, and af-
ter nnding that all efforts were in vain towards
being shaved, they left the saloon swearing ven
geance and prosecution Of the proprietor IN the
courts. The couple on reaching the sidewalk
laughed at the sport they had made and pro-
eeeded down Thirteenth street, and on their Hsy
stopped and talked with every person thew met
whom they knew, to whom they related what
had taken place. About the hotel, as q matter of
course, some excitement was created over the
affair, and was the occasion Of considerable coma
ment, but when their characters became known
the employer at the shaving saloon Who refused
their request was sustained by all who heard of
the occurrence in this effort to maintain the Fepu-
tation Of the establishment.

THE LATE SAMUEL ADDISON.
Coroner's INQUEST Yesterday.


Yesterday morning Coroner Patterson held an
inquest on the body Of the colored man, Samuel
Addison, who was killed Tuesday by the csVinK
in Of well on the corner Of Thirteenth street and
Maryland avenue. Mr.. Augustus Drummond,
the foreman, and Mr.. Matthew Mcnamara, who
were employed with deceased, testified that see
ing the we'll unsafe they ordered Addison to come
out and abandon the work, but he persisted in re-
naming, saying there was no danger. He was
standing on platform, erected on the wall some
II feet down, and when his body was found last
nigh II was in an erect position, showing that the
earth had caved in all around him. He was bent
forward little, with his hand crossed in front of
his face and the sand and mud closely packed
around him. Mr.. q. W. Cunningham, eVerseer,
made q statement that the men were all expert
enced wellGlggers and sober. Addison had been
employed in this business for a long time and was
a good hand. 1t was one Of those unavoidable
accidents which seldom occur in an old we'll.
Every effort was made to dig the man out as soon
as possible, but casing had to be first built to
prevent like accident. The platform on which
the man was standing did not break through, but
resisted the weight above. The jury returned
verdict of accidental death and that no blame
could attach TO the men in charge. The body
was then turned over to the undertaken to pre-
pare for burial.

The RECONSTRUCTED Gensrar. Wife.

The Washington correspondent Of the Louis
vile COUrier-JOurBGI writes: 1.-THE wife Of the
gallant General Crook has been passing some
weeks in Washington. Mrs. Crook was very de-
sirous OF having her husband transferred from
Arizona, where the climate is telling upon his
health, to some other station. At a recent enter
tainment the President was promenading with
Mrs. Crook, when she ventured upon q plea for
her husband. The President answered her by
saying that General Crook was too valuable
where he was to be exchanged to any other post,
and added: He serves his country SO much better
when his wife is with him that you will have to
return Mrs. Crook was a Miss DAILY, Of VIM
chester, and was captured by her husband Just
after the celebrated battle, in which her husband
acted so conspicuous and brave part. She is
very handsome and sprightly, so she saucIly
answered the President by telling him that her
husband was greater general than he or Sheri-
dan. For said she, 1T only took him two hours
to reconstruct me, and after ten years. trlal you
and Sheridan have failed with the South The
President got even with her at their last meeting
Am really to take that long journey through
the Indian country to rejOin my husband?" NO.
he said, u am going to send General Crook to
Alaska, and you can join him at San Francisco
And while the Presidents face was grave and
serious there was q twinkling Of fun and humor
about the corners of his eyes, and the lady did
not scare q Bit"

Joseph B. Stewart VS.. Stephen A. Cobb.

Suit was Instituted yesterday by Joseph B.
Stewart VS.. Stephen A. Cobb to recover the sum
Of $3.50 as q counsel fee on the 9th Of February,
1875, the same day on which the sos was sd-
Vaneed to Stewart, which resulted in hts arrest.
1t will be remembered that Col. Stewart in his
Mr.. Cobb, at the latters request, to give him sd-
vice on q suit Mr.. Cobb proposes to bring in
Kansas, and that his meeting Mr.. Cobb that day
was for no other purpose. An account was rem
deIed for these services, and not paid by Mr..
Cobb, and hence the bringing Of the suit. The
amount recovered, 1t is said, Col. Stewart pro-
District OF Columbia. Mr.. Cobb is, therefore,
likely to find his arrest Of Col Stewart attended
with some trouble. As to the S1O5, no one who
wrong, as there Is not o man in the District Of
Columbia who would attach less Importance to
that amount Of money, or who would be more
free to part with to aid one in distress The trial
Of the suit just brought will probably impart the
real facts Of the transaction to the public.
