/ adopt this mode OF advertising my business
instead of employing agents. My object is. to
reduce the expense OF the business as much as
possible. so by purchasing OF me you pay no
agent fees. You can also save the expense Of
delivering the work If YOU choose besides YOU
can select the Marble yourself, and see the sytle
OF 1t, as it will be, so there is no possible chance
for being deceived or being disappointed.
BY taking this course, there IL a saving of
from twenty TO thirty per cent according TO
how far the purchaser comes.
You can readily see that the money | save by
not keeping agents goes to the purchaser in
stead OF the agent.
Agents claim that they can furnish work
cheaper. That cannot be DONE unless done by
Apprentices. | furnish no work OF that class
as | employ no Apprentices.

The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1875-03-11
A Grand Obituary.

An exchange says: "a Welch clergy
man in an obituary of a brother minister
states that he died in his harness and his
buckles were undone as noiselessly as the
angel upbarred and unlocked the prison in
which Peter was cOntined.'n We think
that is about the prettiest obituary we ever
read. 1t paints in few words the finest
picture that can be made of any mortal
man. A man doing life's duties in his
own sphere, whether high or low, work
ing on until the labor is finished, and then
silently standing aside, the toll over, and
the crown secured. Men say there must
have been vein of poetry in the mind OF
the man who pronounced those words over
a brother man; but there is something
deeper than inspiration in them. The
words are but the reflection of the picture
the life of him that was dead had painted,
and the radiance of which fingers above
his sepulcher. Reading the words and
wandering back in memory, we all can re-
call some such spirit that sometime in
our lives has appeared to make US better by
grand example. We see it Oftenest in
humble lives. We see it often in the father
working by the day for a wife and little
ones. We know he often suffers with
cold and with pain, and that the clothes
he wears, and the food he eats, are
coarse and rough; but he bewails to no
one the sorrows he feels; and his eyes are
lamps of glory and peace to his children
as ne says ''good-by' in the morning, or
"God bless you all'' at night. We see it
often in patient women smOthering their
delicate tastes in poor homes, tOiling
against the poverty which is their lot, eX-
cusing often the vices of their husbands,
smiling sublime smiles of triumph as they
look a relentless destiny in the face, toll
ing on without hope except to fulfill the
duties of their sphere, and may be to fit
their children TO walk in happier paths /;
and we do not realize their worth or work,
or suffering, until some time it is tod us
their buckles have been nOiselessly I'M
lOOsed, and we know they have reached
the height
"Where penance ends and dawn Elysian fields"
Such lives are the hope of the world.
This hope rests not in great wealth nor in
inspired minds, but rather in those who
work and who wait; who DO such labor
as is given them to do, uncomplaningly
and with all their hearts doing rather
for rights sake following duty whether
it leads into light or into darkness; fear
ing naught except TO do wrong; and per-
severing until the merciful angel strikes
the burdens from their hands, frees the
patient spirit, and the earth takes back the
worn out dust and hides it in its ample
bosom. Surely, no higher words of praise
can be spoken over a bier than that "he
died in harness, and at the last his buckles
were noiselessly undOne. "-Nerada En-

Mourning for the Emperor of China.

The Emperor of China being dead, says
the London Weekly Dispatch, all his SUBJ
iects, according to their rank, will be re-
quired TO mourn his decease. On the pro-
clamation of the Governor of the Province,
the mandarins under him not only put on
mourning, but paint out the decorations
on their house walls, and wrap their sedan
chairs in black cloth. The common
people have to shave their heads, and also
perform certain ceremonies prescribed es-
pecially for them; but as for the manda-
rims and local gentry, on second procla-
nation from the Governor of the Prov
ince, they meet together on certain APP
pointed days, in a particular temple, to
:" lift up their lamentations" for the de-
parted monarch whom most of these
mourners never once beheld. The mode
of their proceeding is in this wise: The
mandarins, gentry, and Others entitled to
take part in the ceremonial, having mus
tered inside the temple, slowly and silent
" take up each one the position prescribe d
for him according to his rank, on raised
platform previously prepared. This done,
professor of ceremony appears upon the
scene. Every thing being ready, the pro-
fessor, amid profound silence, calls out, in
a commanding tone, kneel down ~ I'M
Ulpuldlely OllC
or less, being the highest in rank and
power in the province, simultaneously fall
PROSTATE. Then the next order comes ::
=" Knock your heads once on the ground"
which the company Immediately do.
Again and again the fOreheads tap the
floor, and yet a third time they are requir-
ed to kneel and knock. The professor,
while they are still on their hands and
knees, now commands them to begin
their lamentations !" whereupon these
adult, rational being commence to moan
and weep in whimpering, subdued tone
of voice. This having been kept up for a
minute or so, all are ordered TO "stOp
their crying" "rise up," and "disperse
from their places" which, by tbs time,
they seem not unwilling to do. Thus ends
the ceremony of three bOwings and nine
knockings." The funniest thing connect
ed with the whole business is, that until
the EmpcrOr's death has been officially
announced from Pekin, no body is sup
posed to be sorry. A steamer commonly
brings the news down to a province long
before the Governors official dispatch ar
rives, and thus, though the Emperor's de-
cease is perfectly well known, every body
surprisingly commands his feelings, and
goes about his business as usual. 1t is
only when the Governor sends forth his
public announcement that the land is con-
vulsed with sudden and universal sorrow.
Happy is the monarch whom his people
delight to honor.

1t is supposed that the Gar, as the head
of the church, will take the responsibility
of declaring the rite void, If he can bring
his son to consent, but even this power l.
held in debate by those who understand
the relations of the Church TO the State In
Russia. se'+
The family of Mrs. Alexis are enor-
mously rich, and if warnings for place DO
not come to the young man, he need have
no misgivings for the future. His fatner-
in law gives the bride a colossal dowry,
and so far as money goes the match might
rejoice the most worldly OF parents. Even
in the event of reconciliation, the wife
can not be received according to her hus-
bands rank at the imperial court an OBJ
stacle which would be apt TO keep the
couple in seclusion. unless they can make
up their minds to the annoyances which
the Marquis of Lorne's marriage has
brought upon him. All things considered,
as the thing stands, the Grand Duke, even
without formal reception into the impe-
rial family. has, as chessmen say, the best
of the board.

Advice to Skaters.

l. Never try to skate in two directions
at once. 1t always ends in sorrow.
2. Eat few apples for refreshments
sake while skating, and be sure to throw
the cores on the ice.
3. Sit down occasionally, no matter
where. There is no law to prevent a new
beginner from sitting down whenever he
has occasion to do so.
4. When you meet particularly hand
some lady, try to skate on both sides of
her at once. This is very pretty, and sure
to create a sensation.
8. Skate over all the small boys at once.
g. Ifyou skate into hole in the ice.
take it coolly. Think how you would feel
if the water was boiling hot. e
z. Ifyour skates are too slippery, buy
a new pair. Keep buying new pairs till
you find pair that are not slippery.
s. In sitting down do it gradually.
Don't be too sudden; you might break
the ice.
8. When you fall headlong, examine the
straps of your skates very carefully before
you get up. s
10. Wear heavy overcoat or cloak till
you get thoroughly warmed up, and then
throw it off and let the wind cool YOU.
IL. After you get so that YOU can skate
tOlerably well, skate three or four hours
skate frantieally-skate till you can't
stand up.

WLHOFT's FEVER AND AGUE TONIC
This medicine is used by construction COM
panies for the benefit of their employees,
when engaged in malarial districts. The
highest testimonials have been given by con-
tractors and by the Presidents of some of the
leading railroads in the South and West.
When men are congregated in large numbers
in the neighbOrhOOd of swamps and rivers,

VINEGAR BITTERs.-DR. J. WALKER, a
regular practicing physician of California,
has conferred priceless boon upon man
kind, by the introduction of a" Bitters"
compounded from herbs exclusively, which
may be truly said to be superseding all
others, and is becoming bitter dose in
decd for the charlatans and quacks, on ac-
count of its immense sale and universal
popularity. Not only are these VINEGAR
BrTTERs, as he calls them, an invaluable
tonic and Alternative, but they are acknOwl-
edged as standard MEDICINE, and the as
tonishing rapidity with which they cure
diseases hitherto declared incurable,
seems almost incredible. After having
been carefully tes ted, they are kept on
hand in thousands of households, and used
for any and every form of disease, many
relying upon them in preference to the
most celebrated physicians. They have
become arccOgnized Family Remedy"
and properly so.

THE official report to the Austrian Gov
eminent respecting musical Instruments
at the Vienna Exposition declares the
Mason & Hamlin Cabinet Organs to be
"the most distinguished and praise
worthy instruments of their class;
praising in detail their power and reso-
nance oftone, variety of combination and
s5lo effects; fine power of expression;
smooth, even aud sympathetic tones. and
thorough workmanship. They were
awarded the first and highest medal.
Other American organs in competition
were declared to be far less meritoriOus,
the tones and workmanship being both
inferior. In comparison, it was said I:
" Judged leniently, they do not rise above
a respectable medioerity." This was un-
doubleday the most extensive, thorough
and competent comparison OF such instru-
ments ever made. lll f rs

Horse Flesh as Food in France.

Though among the last of the people of
Northern Europe to authorize the lie OF
horse flesh as food, the French have learned
TO use it to a greater extent, apparently,
than any other nation. 1t is used in as
many ways as beef; and according to a
late writer, NJ. HussOn, in the Economists
Francois, the trade in it is actually more
profitable than the. ordinary butchers
business.
On the first day of 1874, there were in
Paris forty-eight shops for the sale of the
flesh of horses, mules, and asses. their GUS
toners belonging chiefly to the middle

meat is about half that of beef, the best
cuts ranging from franc to franc and a
quarter for the half kilOgramme, or from
twenty to twenty-five cents pound. 1t
is in the form of sausage, however, that
the largest quantity of this meat is con-

to thirty dollars; a few years ago they

however, were eaten during the two sieges.
Since the war, the number eaten annually
has been from nine to ten thousand. In
Munich, Berlin, Vienna, and other Ger
man cities, the growing taste for horse
flesh is almost equally marked.
