Troops were removed from the
support of Packard on Tuesday last,
and his government Immediately
melted away. Nichols is fully es-
-tablished. With a few individual
exceptions, the Packard members
of the Legislature have gone over
to the Nichols Legislature, and
have taken seats with that body.
The mission of the Commission
was fully successful, and everybody
is happy in Louisiana. The results
achieved by them are more COM
plete than could have been antici-
pated. The general feeling, even
among intelligent Republicans, is
that these results will be. of i'm
mense advantage to the State. The
Commission haye been more than
ordinarily circumspect, and have
devoted themselves in the most la
borious manner to their work. In
their innumerable interviews with
delegations and committees and in
dividuals of both parties, they have
been courteous and patient. 1t is
understood that an ovation was ten
dered them by the people of New
Orleans, but this was declined with
thanks.

The anniversary of the battle OF
San Jacinto was appropriately cele-
brated in Texas last Saturday,
April IL. On that date, in the year
1886, General Houston, after num-
Der of humiliating defeats, met the
Mexicans, under Santa Anna, at the
San Jscinto, with 800 troops, and
completely defeated their large fore
es, captured large number of pris
oners, among whom was Santa An
ma. This victory practically estab-
lished Texan independence. Gen.
Houston, a few months after the
battle, was elected President of the
republic, and in March, 1887, the
United States acknowledged the in
dependence of Texas.

Mrs. DIR. Alex. jackson, of Jack
son, Tennessee, aged ffty-seven
years, according to the Sun pub
lished at that place, has recently
discharged from her stomach a
snake ten inches long and as large
as mans finger. The reptile al
ways appeared more lively in its
movements soon after Mrs. Jack
son took her meals than at any 9th
er times, causing to the victim the
the most unpleasant sensations OF
mind and body, and producing nau
sea, heartburns, and slight disten
sion of the stomach.
Mr.. Robert Gates, the editor OF
the Sun, aflirms in the most positive
manner that the whole story, OF
which the above is a condensed
statement, is true. Mrs. j. thinks
she swallowed the snake in embryo
about twenty years ago while
drinking water at squirrel stew.

On Friday Of last week, in the early
afternoon, on Covington Street, in So
cial Circle, there occurred one of the
strangest phenomena that ever was seen
in Georgia. 1t was nothing more or
less than a & nuine shower Of stones,
varying in size from as large as hens
egg TO that Of mans two fists. The
stones are Of irregular shape, Of dark
grayish color. interspersed with a
bright, shiny substance resembling
ising- glass. The shower was very brief,
and extended over not more than four
acres Of ground, and followed an ex-
plosivc sound not unlike cannonading.
A panicky feeling pergaded the vicinity
visited by the shower. Happily every
one except negro woman was indoors
1T the time, else some one might have
been injured. One rock, rs large as a
mans two fists, came near striking this
woman. As many rs dozen stones
fell IN the roof Of the editors house,
though without doing much damage. ---

but the gentleman had hardly closed his
eyes when he was awakened by a noise
down stairs, and moving stealthily to the
parlor with revolver in his hand, he
saw a man endeavOring to open the buffet
where he kept his silver. Levelling his
revolver at the thiefs head he exclaimed,

gentleman then discovered to his horror
that the burglar whom he was about to
shoot was the younger brother whom he
had not met for nearly ten years. That
night the burglar slept peacefully under

assured a friend with tears in his eyes,
that he was about to give him employ
ment in his own store, and that he had

The Tribune, in commenting UDOn
the proposition to establish q college in
China, based upon the traditions of oUr
western civilization, compliments the
Chinese by saving with some truth.
Education occupies a higher place
in the state than it does with rs
and in their art, the integrity of all
their handiwork, their respect tor learn
ing, their selt-cOntrOl, and fine courtesy
they have reached a higher plane of
civilization than the Anglo-Saxon. )"
When it adds, however, that: Their
religion has in it broad basis of sublime
truth, both in its conception Of the
Deity and of human brotherhood, =" it
does not speak with knowledge. The
educated Chinese are what we would call
Atheists, being disciples of Confucius.
who recognized neither God nor a future
state, and whose religion was a system
of morals based on reason and human
experience. Buddhism, in its purity. is
also atheistic; and these two forms of
sO-called religious belief embrace the
great bulk OF the Chinese people. There
Is, however, in China, q form of belief
blgotcd and supeTstitious, and not unlike
our own spiritualism and these three
religions, dwelling side by side for several
thousand years, have resulted in a mixed
creed 50 that the average Chinaman Is
about As much confused concerning his
real belief as the ordinary non-church
going Christian. No doubt the faith of
China may be best described as fe,icbis-
tic. The Emperor is brother To the son
and moon, and the all encompassinc
canopy o. y avcn is wOrshipped instead
Of any personal god. 1t is misleading to
say that Cinnamon generally have anv

a Point OR which the Doctors Agree

Physicians who have tested Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, concur in representing il to
be an e1RincRtg safe StjmuldEt, far preferable
to the ordinary liquors of commerce, not only
because it is medIcated, but because it is inf
nitely pure. It's alcoholic basis is the finest
old rye, and this is tempered and rendered
medicinal by the curative ingredients of bot
anic origin which it holds in solution. 1t has
often been initiated, but never rivaled, and
is, to-day, the leading tonic, diuretic and
aperient of America. MaIariaI fevers are pre-
vented and remedied by it, and it is a thor
oughlv reliable medicine in cases of dyspeP-
STA, consti patton liver complaint, rheumatism,
govt, nervousness, Uniary and uterine attec-
tions. 1t improves the appetite, increases the
bodily stamina, checks premature decay,and
as a sustaining and comforting cordial for the
aged and infirm is unequaIed.

What every body say. must be true.

The incOntrovertible testimony offered by
those who have used DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription induced the doctor to sell It under
a positive guarantee. Many ladies have re-
trained from using it on account of a general
feeling of prejudice against advertised medi-
cines. Let me ask question. Are YOU
prejudieed against sewing machines because
you see them advertised? or can you doubt
the ingenuity and skill required in their in
vention? Again, would you refuse to insure
your house because the company advertised
that it had paid millions in losses, and vet
had a capital of several millions? Do such
advertisements shake your confidence, and
create preiUdices? Then why refuse to
credit the testimony of those who have found
the FavOrite Prescription to be all that is
claimed for 1t in overcoming those ailments
peculiar to your sex2 Why submit to the
use of harsh and perhaps caustic treatment,
thus aggravating your malady, when relief Is
guaranteed, and positive, perfect, and per
manent cure has been effected in thousands
of cases

A Romantic and Thrilling Recognition,

About ten years ago, two brothers left
their homes in Illinois, and went to Cali
fornia. The elder was a man of the most
steady habits, and had received a good
business education, but the younger was
inclined to be dissipated, and, indeed, had
figured in so many scrapes at home that
his departure was not regretted in his
native village. The tive brothers lived
for a short time in San Francisco while
they looked for situations. Tie younger
brother, however, fell into bad company,
and they separated by mutual consent.
The elder brother obtained a situation in
a wholesale store as porter, and by his
diligence and steadiness so worked him
self into the confidence of his employers
that he rose from the position of porter
to that of partner in the firm. He lately
pur chased a house in Bush street, mar
ried a lady with q considerable fortune
of her own, and on last Christmas eve
he saw three beautiful children around
him enjoying the delights of Christmas
tree. The family retired at midnight,
