Personal.

Mr.. George Sawyers, of this
county, has just returned from
nearly years visit to Texas,
and on Friday last, he favored
US with some of his observations.
He had in a bottle crawling
centipede, an ugly, venomous
reptile. He says that Texas is
a magnificent State, filling rap
idly with settlers, who come
principally from the northern
States, Tennessee furnishing
fewer than heretofore. A liberal
per cent. of the increase in
population, he says, is of per-
sons who have moved there, be-
come dissatisfied, and are too
poor to get away. If he were
an emigrant, he would stop inthe
Indian Nation or in the north
ern part of Texas, where the
soil is excellent. A principal
objection with him, in any sec
ton of the State,a the detesta-
BILE "northers," which almost
freeze ore, even in midsummer.
Mr.. Walten Hiles, one of the
best men of Moore county, IA
vored us with a visit few days
ago.

a substitute forTObaceo.

in the northern part Of Georgia, the in
hsbitants have such unbounded confidence
in the eelebra ted Liver Medicine discovered
by Or. A. Q. Simmons nearly forty years
ago. that many Of them have it constantly
by them, and chew it instead of tobacco.
They are noted for their robust health, and
no doubt this practice has much TO do with
making them so. This medicine is gen.
ale cathartic, perfectly harmless, and is
recommended for the cure Of all liver
diseases.

men. Of these 100000 about 2,OOO,-
900 are Southern neg oes, of whom it
can hardly be said that they are really
out of employment, since there is work

"SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST."

The ingenious doctrine propoundcd by
Mr Carwin, the tirclcss investigator Of
nature and her laws, is as applicable in de-
tcrInining the fate of medicines as in that
of the animal species. Every year new
remedies are brought before the public, and
are soon completely discarded rs their sale
rapidly decreases. Only those medicines
which are hest suited to the peoples wants
survive the first test. If they ARE tried,
and found wanting in the merits which
they aac claimed to possess, no amount of

FROM WASHINGTON.

The government troops were to be
withdrawn from the State house at
New Orleans, by the Presidents or
lers, on Tuesday last. This virtually
puts an end to the Packard admins
tration. An extra session OF Congress
has not yet been officially called and
it would be q good thing if it could
be avoided. The President has ex-
pressed his determination to stand
firmly by his Southern pac'hcatory
policy until it is fairly tried, notwlth-
standing the thre atened republican
opposition. Sad scenes were witness
ed last week on the occasion Of sever
al hundred female clerks and employ
ees being dismissed from various de-
partments where their services were
no longer needed. The eight hours a
day system Of labor has been abolish
ed bv the government.

Presidential Example.

President Hayes is not gwen to
wine-urinking and Mrs. Hayes IS an
ardent advocate of temperance. Last
week state dinner was given at the
white house to the Russian Grand
Duke and his party. 1t is stated
that Mrs. Hayes earnestly opposed
having any wine on the table. The
officers of the state department how
ever thought the royal guests would
be terribly disappointed if they found
it to be a cold water dinner and
pleaded for the usual champagne
Mrs. Hayes reluctantly consented at
length that it should be provided for
the foreigners but no wine glasses
were placed at her own or the Presl-
dents plate. L: was also announced
by authority, if wine must be given to
foreigners that hereafter when cltI-
z,ns Of the U. S. are entertained at
the Presidential Mansion there will
be nothing to drink but water. This
may be called civil service reform
of the right stamp.

Not SO Romantic.

A couple Of weeks ago Boss Tweed
gave the world the romantic story OF
how he was virtually stolen away
from prison but sadly brought back
again after a years travel to Spain.
Last week he gave the Attorney Cen
eral of n. Y. the not 50 romantic sto-
nv Of who shared in the plumber Of
the Tweed Ring. A large number Of
active politicians of both parties
prominent in the legislature and the
city government during the era Of
the ring rule, when millions were sto-
len, are now published to the world
as sharing in the spols and each get
ting his tens of thousands. 1t is a
most disgraceful exposure of many
men not heretofore suspected, includ-
ing several Judges Of courts. Some
are Indignantly denying and others
explaining but the public are inclined
to believe most Of them guilty.

The Farmers Turn.

The hard times are at An end for the
farmers if for no other class. There
has been great excitement in the
bread stufs markets the last two
weeks and a large advance in prices.
OF course this is based on the expecta-
ton of large foreign demand in an
ticipation OF the great war between
Russia and Turkey. To many farm
ers there is no immediate profit in the
rise of prices as they sold their sur
plus grain probably months ago. But
the effect will be to clear out the
stock now on hand throughout the
country and thus if the war goes on
prices will be maintained until anoth-
er harvest is gathered. The rise in
flour of course bears hard upon class
es who are out Of employment and
those who are working at low wages.
But when prosperity comes to the
farmer it soon follows to all other
classes and we may therefore look for
ward to a speedy return of better
times to manufacturers, mechanics
and dealers generally.
Meantime the railway share market
has shown as heavy fall in prices
without apparently any cause bu'
that general uneasiness and want Q
confidence which prevails in business
circles. The great industrial inter
ests Of the country still continue in {
depressed and stagna't condition an(
