POLITICAL POINTS.

Ex-Governor ABIEs is said to be 90
ing into the lumber business in Mime
sofa, and the New York Tribune asks:
" Can't he induce father. in-law Butler
to join him7 The country would bid
them both GOd-speed if they would de-
vote themselves to lumber and let states
manship alone"
THE Baltimore American (Rep.) says
it was one of the idiosyncrasies of Presi-
dent Grant that he never understood the
Importance Of having a first class lawyer
at the head Of the department Of justice
It was upon his (Grant's) recommen-
datiOn that Bell was appointed TO a posi-
ton, from which he was removed three
days after he conveyed the intelligence
to the president that Babcock was guilty.
There is no evidence going to show that
he actually desired to screen Babcock A;
indeed Bell declares that he manifested
no disposition to do so, yet he has had a
wonderfully warm side for those whose
guilt is beyond question: ittS6urg Dis

A WASHINGTON correspondent of the
Raleigh IN. O. News writes March
| 81 -" have just seen Col Mosby,
who is, as you know, one of Grant S
right bowers. He had just came from a
conference with the president at the
white house, and he says that Grant is
still in the field as a candidate for re-
election, that he considers New Hamp-
shire an Endorsement of his adminigtra-
ton, and is determined, if possible, to
secure a third term"
THE addresses at the Nashville con
vention, and the speech lately made il
the senate by Bruce of Mississippi, show
that the southern negroes are gradually
becoming able to stand and walk alone
that they are no longer content to bt
mere tools of the republican party anC
obey their orders like a flock of sheep
but are preparing to discharge the dutie
of citizenship fearlessly and iudepend
entity. When this new departure is fair
ly and fully taken, then and not befor
will the occupation of northern dema
gogues and carpet-baggers, and southern
bOurbOns and fire eaters be finally an,
forever gone-so far as the African vot
is concerned.-,St. Louis Rep. lind. Dem.

young lady from Ohio and says that the
life of young, unprotected female in
Milan is worse than bondage. She is
never free from insult in the street and
is obliged to keep herself shut up all the
time to avoid insults in the house. She
says that the universal verdict of those
who have tested the resources of musical
education in Italy is that the advantages
over New York and Boston are inappre-
ciable. The prices of the maestro are
exorbitant, the practice very slight, and
the mode of living disgusting. The only
protection from being swindled in every
thing is the constant presence of a male
relative and a willingness to submit to
the scandal which public resistance to
such swindles will bring. She says there
are a hundred American girls now taking
singing lessons in Milan, three-fOurths
of whom regret the journey but are held
to it by pride and the fact of being
laughed at if they return without the
culture afforded by teachers inferior to
those found in our own country.

Dr. scheneI,'s standard Remedies.

Tho standard remedies for all diseases OF the lungs
are SCHENCK'S PuLMOSIC SYRUP, SCHENCE'S SEA
WEED Tonic, and SCHESCK's MANDRAKE Pills,
and if taken before the lungs destroyed, speedy
cure is effected.
To these three medicines DIR. J. H SCheack, OF
Philadelphia, owes his unTivalled success in the
treatment of pulmonary diseases
The PumOnic Syrup Tipens the morbid matter in
the lungs; nature throws it of by easy eTPecto-
ration for when the phleEm matter Is ripe slight
cough will throw it of, the patient has rest and the
lungs begin to heal.
To enable the PulmOuiC Syrup TO do This, Schenck
Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic must
be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver.
Schenck's Mandrake Pills act the liver, removing
all distractions, relax the gall bladder, the bile
starts freely, and the liver is soon relieved.
S-henck's Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
anG Alternative; the alkali Of which II Is composed
mixes with the food and prevents souTinC. II as
sists the digestion by tOning up the stomach to
healthy condition. 50 that the food and the PuRIOn-
&c Syrup will make good blood then the lungE heal,
and the patient will surely get well IT care Il taken

sonally OF by letter, do at his principal Of

THE ALPINE HORN.-The Alpine horn
is an instrument made of the bark of a
cherry tree, and, like speaking trumpet,
is used to convey sounds to a great dis
lance. When the last rays of the sun
gid the summit of the Alps, the shep-
herd who inhabits the highest peak of
these mountains takes his horn, and cries
with loud voice, praised be the Lord, "
As soon as the neighboring shepherds
hear him, they leave their uts, and repeat
these words. The sounds are prolonged
many minutes, while the echoes of the
rocks repeat the name of God Imagi,
nation cannot picture anything more
! solemn or sublime than such a scene
During the silence that succeeds, the
| shepherds bend their knees, and pray in
the open air, then repair to their huts tc
rest. The sunlight gliding the tops o.
! these stUpendOUs mountains, upon which
| the vault of heaven seems to rest, the
magnificent scenery around, and the
voices of the shepherds from rOcE
to rock in praise of the Almighty, fill the
mind of every traveller with enthusiasm
and awe.

evening at his club, "has his peculiarities,

Albert Smith asked, " Which hand do
you shave with, uncle ?" &" With my
right hand" replied Lemon. All Z"

CHURCHES AND MINISTER'S.

The Wesley Memorial church, now
building in Savannah, where John
Wesley spent part of his early minis
try, is now so far finished as to be ready
for roofing. 1t will contain a memorial
room, for the custody of books, pictures,
and other relics of Wesley and his work.
IT is mentioned that a distinguished
merchant of New York city, we'll known
for his great iberality, has had the salts
faction of seeing a favOrite son, who has
been very wild, converted under the in
strumentality of Moody and Sankey. AS
thank-Otfering he has contributed $780,
600 toward the hippOdrOme expenses.

to the fund, and has received Bishop
QUintard with every kindness and atten-

London. A few days ago he received

Three Points for Consideration

During the past i've years the YEGETIN Z has been
steadily working itself into public favor, and those
who were at first most iucredulous in regard its
merit are now most ardent friends and supporters
There are three essential causes for those having
such a horror Of patent medicines, changing their
opinion and lending their influence toward the ad-
yRnCemcnt Of NEGETINE. LIST 1t Is an honestly
prepa red medicine from bRTks roots and herbs. ID
It honestly accomplished all that is claimed for
without leaving any bad effects in the system. 81
1t presents honest vouchers in testimonials from
honest well-kHDWn citizens, whose signatures are q
sufficient guarantee" Of their earnCstneEs in the mat
ter. Taking into consideration the vast quantity uf
medicine brought Cuuspicuously before the public
through the flaming advertisements in the Heypa per
columns with proof Of merit or genuine vouchers
of what it has deHe, should he paTdOucd for

THE BISHOP OF TENNESSEE.
Ten dioceses of the south
A LOwndes County GA Phenomenon.

A third lake in LOwndes county has
been emptied of its water by sUbter-
ranean passages during the last six
months What is the matter? The
Times has several times alluded to the
fact that LOwndes county had within its
borders numbers of lakes, from ten to
500 land several beyond 1,000) acres in
size, and can it be that these lakes are
connected with a grand underwater
course? 1t seems so. In September last
one dried up, or run off, and left bushels
upon bushels of fish in holes of water
about upon the bottom of the lake. In
January another, about five miles from
this, did the same thing, and now Grassy
Pond, a lake covering about 500 acres,
Just between the two above mentioned,
and left its million of fishes out of water.
About three weeks ago it was reported
that the waters of this lake were sinking
below low water mark, and every day or
two we would hear that 1T was still going
down. Last Friday report spread all
over the country like wild-fre that
Grassy Pond was low enough to rake the
fish out with nets, and by shutdown over
one hundred people had collected at the
place. Some had dip-nets, some cast nets,
and there was one seine in the party. The
/ first haul with the seine caught enough
trout, jack, Dream, and speckled perch
to make mess for every one present
/ During that night all the water disap-
peared, and there were millions of fish
/ left dead upon dry land. Next day the
planters hitched up their wagons and
| hauled load after load and scattered
/ them in their fields for manure, and
! thousands were left at the mercy of buzz
yards hogs, and other creatures of prey.
/ Such quantities of fish and such destruc-
/ ton have never been known in the his
/ tory of LOwndes county. No one ever
| dreamed that there were half that guam
/ tity of fish in Grassy Pond, though it
was celebrated for its fine fishing grounds
/ in the spring of the year. The other two
/ lakes above mentioned did not run thus
completely dry, and the fish that werenot
caught were saved by the water return
ing in few days from its hidden retreat
in the bosom of the earth. We learn
that Grassy Pond is filling up again, but
/ 1t Is too late to save the finny tribe
/ These statements are not at all exag-
/ gerated, and can be testified to by several
hundred people living in this county
/ though 1t Is marvellous to all.
