Tree Tar Cordial as contrasted with the
speedy collapse of nostrums devoid of efficacy
which have from time to time been puffed into
brief notoriety during the twenty odd years

Arrested on a serious charge.

Job r. Jackson, President of the jackson &
Sharp Car Works, Of Wilmington, was ar
rested on Thursday noon by Sheriff Wells, Of
Fulton county, Georgia, on requisition from
Governor Cochran at the demand of the Gov
ernOr of Georgia. The charge against Mr.
Jackson is for having swindled the State of
Georgia out of $1,000. The statement of the
case as ALLEGED in the indictment is, that he
obtained in 1873 by false affidavit before
Legislative Committee, payment of a note for
$1,000 which had been paid in 1871 by two
other notes, which we're promptly met at their
maturity in 1872. The facts, if facts they be,
of this disgraceful affair have been brought to
light through the labors Of the committee now
engaged in investigating the frauds and vii
lainies of the Bullock Carpet-Bag Government
These charges against Mr. jackson were made
by a fellow named Kimball, witness before
the aforesaid Investigating Committee. The
arrest caused great sensation in Wilmington,
where Mr.. jackson has long held high posi-
ton in the esteem of the people. His friends
claim that it is an attempt at blackmailing.
We sincerely wish that the matter may be
cleared up satisfactorily and Mr.. Jackson be
proved innocent of the charges against him.

labor day in and out to feed and clothe large
family, who is determined to be somebody in
spite offate. He goes steadily and regularly
to the public school and is always near or at
the head of his class in all studies; and out of

frorl the ship yards, cultivates small garden
which supplies the family with vegetables, and
every Saturday has place as helper in store
for which he gets one dollar. Besides this, he
is always ready to run errands and do odd
jobs for anybody when he can find time. In
this way be has already saved over forty dol
lars which he is keeping as sacred treasure to
pay for his board, clothes and tuition when he
goes to college, which he means to do. When
ever his savings amount to $40, he manages
to put the amount out at interest and his cal
culation is that when he is nineteen years old,
and prepared to enter college, he will have
nearly or quite 81, 900 to carry him through.
BE also attends regularly on his Sabbath

Baby Comfort.

One sensible thing fashion has done
since the time when you and | were ba
bies; IL has covered up the necks and
arms of babies. Time was when our
good grandmothers and mothers, who
were thought to be so much ahead of the
present generation in good sense on
these points, made all the baby -lips to
come well off at the shoulder, and for
sleeve, set in bit OF embroidery a little
wider than your finger, edged with "A del
icate fall OF filmy lace. IL is true there
was an elaborately embroidered baby
blanket to fold about the tiny stranger.
but that was forever slipping off in the
handling baby got. and when he Was "a
little older, and could strike out aud
free himself, and make what his littl.
brother called Eighty fists" how long
would the blanket stay on2
Now the darlings luxuriate in elegant
robes which button close about the neck,
and long sleeves which come to the little
pink hands. The baby sacques are an
institution, and no little wardrobe is
thought complete without full supply
for night as well as day. Surely, babies
have fallen on better times, and if the
same good sense could prevail when
they are little older, and allow them a
little longer petticoats in winter, espe-
cially the little girls, they ought to es-
cape some of the coughs and colds that
are so prevalent among people brought
up under the old dispensation.
Keep the baby warm at all hazards
Cuddle the little soft thing in your bo.
som, and let its downy cheek nestle in
your neck. There is nothing so com.
forting to baby life as this cuddling, and

early days and months, seldom thr We.

Injurious Effects of Tobacco.

Using His Influence.

A good citizen who has the cause Of
temperance at heart, was yesterday trav-
cling up and down Michigan avenue to
watch for topsrs and coax them to sign
the pledge and mend their ways He
got hold of three hard cases at once and
took them into q boot and shoe store to
argue the point. They were willing to
listen, but obstinate about signing. and
the good man went out to secure more
influence. He met a butcher whom he
had long known, and, explaining the case
to him, the butcher replied:
"Thep won't sign, sir2 Well. now. you
see 10 they don't They know me, and
they'll put their names down like a
streak Of lightningl"
Entering the store he unfolded the
pledge, and to the first he said:
Tom, ] want your fist to this"
I'D ruther not" replied Tom.
you put your name down here, or I'll
give you the worst humping you ever
received, and don you forget II, yelled
the butcher.
Tom signed, and the man of meht
crooked his finger at Jim. who didu't
hesitate a minute. The third one didn't
know the butcher, and ne said he would
not sign the pledge for any man.
Il guess you will guess you will r.
said the butcher, as he rolled up his
sleeves-"Im coming nowP'
He took the topper by the throat, flung
him over box of boots and into a cor
ner, and in thirty-niue seconds from the
first dash the topper called out
Let up on me|and gimme the pen r.
EHe signed. and then placing the three
in row in<front of him the butcher
said:
