The South.

The Americans special from GAINESVILLE,
Tenn, says: The body of a negro named
Winston Anderson, who attempted to COM
NIT q rape on a white girl aged fourteen,
last Wednesday, was found hanging to a
small thorn tree one mile from town on the
Nashville road on Saturday morning. The
negro was evidently choked to death, as no
marks of violence on the body were to be
found. He was standing nearly fiat footed
when found. Thousands visited him before
the body was cut down.
The Auditor of Public Accounts of Vir-
gfnia has reported to the joint Committee
on Finance of the General Assembly that
t,e financial condition of the Common.
wealth is truly d~eploraile. No money is
being received for taxes, all payments being
made in coupons with thirty per cenr. dis
count. The Auditor al.o stated that there
was but one hundred and three dollars in
the Treasury, that none could be borrowed
or collected and that he could not run the
State Government IN hour longer; and the
asylums were behind, ever IN the support
account. He had no means of paying the
per diem of members. There was $175,000
now due to the banks, and they refused
further loans. The int Committee on
Finance met subsequently and adopted q
report, in accordance with the Auditors
suggestion, recommending the General As
sembly to pass a law providing for the col
lection of license taxes, including revenue
from the Moffatt register, in money, to the
exclusion of coupons.

THE London NeDs says that the late
Pope was a great billiard player. He
had a French table without pockets) at
the Vatican, and, when his health al
lowed it, used to play two or three games
every evening before going to bed. He
was not an early riser, and his habits
had a great deal of the Italian Incidence
He liked sweetmeats, pastry, and play
full conversation. Wine he never
touched at table, and he took al his
meals alone, it b ing contrary to eti-
quette f r any one, even a crowned head,
to eat with the Supreme Pontif. Most
Of. the bulls and pa torals issued from
the Vatican were indited by Cardinal
Antonelli or Cardinal Simeoni, both
excellent Latin scholars, which Plus TX
was not. He wrote Latin fuently, but
nottoo correctly, and made no pretense of
perusing the classics, which he said
wearied him. Reading, in general, had
few attractions for the spri.ht y con-
v~ersationalist, and he never employed
the services of a secretary, as his pre-
decessor Gregory XVI did, to entertain
him with French novels. On the ether
hand he spoke French well, and oe-
ca~sionally threw an eye owe M. Louis
Veuillot's articles in the Univers.

While much has been written concerning
the use of "putup " medicines, the question
is still an open one, and demands Of the peo-
pie a careful consideration. The salient
points may be briefly stated, and answered
as follows: 1st-Are the sick capable of de-
termining their real condition, the nature of
their malady, and selecting the proper
remedy or means of cure? 2d-Can a physi-
clan, no matter how skill full, prepare an uni
versal remedy, adapted to the peculiar all.
ments of a large class of people, residing
in different ATTITUDES, and subject to various
climatic influences? In answer to the first
proposition, we would say, diseases are
named and known by certain /" signs" or
symptoms, and, as the mother does not need
a physician to tell her that her child has the
whooping-cough. or indicate a remedy, SO
people when afflicted with many of the
symptoms concomitant to "impure blood"
"torpid liver" and "bad digestion" re-
quire no other know ege of their condition,
or the remedy indicated, than they already
possess. Second proposition-Many p ysi-
clans argue that diseases are sectionally Pc
culiar, m that their treatment must there
fore vary, and yet q~uinine, morphine, podo.
phyllin, and hundreds of other remedies
are prescribed in al countries to overcome
&c, tain conditions Is it not, therefore, self.
evident that a physician whose large expert.
ence has made him familiar with the many
phases incident to all impurities of the N cd,
general and nervous debI ty, liver complaint,
dyspepsia, consumption and catarrh, can pre-.
pare a series of remedies exactly adapted to
meet the conditions manifest, whenever.
and by whatever means, it may have
been engendered? The family medicines
prepared by R.V. Pierce, ND, of Buffalo.
N. Y, fulfill the above requirements. Mapy
physicians prescribe them in their practice.
His Golden Medical Discovery has no equal
as a blood-purifying and general tonic, while
his Fayorite Prescription cures those weak.
nesses peculiar to women, after physicians
have failed. His Pleasant Purgative Pellets,
which are sugar-coated and little larger than
mustard seeds, are a safe and certain cure

A Terrible Tornado.

A Stanford (Ky.) special to the Courier
Journal says: A terrible tornado, with a
width of four hundred yards, swept through
Casey County, between the hours of two
and three Saturday afternoon, doing fright
full damage in the neighborhood of Rich
HI and Mount o i've. The whole of the
fami y of Vincent Wesley, near Rich Hill,
consisting of hi Sc +, wife, two grown
daughters, and Il boy named Sloan a nep-
hew, and VIM. Taylor, a neighbor stopping
at his house, were killed outright. Another
man named Richardson had his shoulder
and collar zone frightfully crushed. Mrs.
Wesley's body was blown four hundred
yards, and her clothing was entirely
stripped off. The two daughters were
carried fifty yards, and were found
locked in each others arms. The father and
nephew were fearfully mangled, and all
must have been killed by the first force of
the tempest. The dwelling, stables, apd
outhouses were blown entirely away, the
logs being scattered for many yards along
the sweep of the tornado, and the hearth
and foundation. stones blown from their
places.
In the vicinity of Mt. Olive, Mrs. Morgan,
wife of j. w Morgan, was killed, and the
dwelling and outhouses of F. Floyd were
completely swept away, the timbers being
scattered in every directio . In the village
OF Mt. Olive, 'everal houses were swept
away and the remainder otherwise injured.
Fences were blown away along the whole
course of the tornado, post and rail fences
being drawn out, torn into splinters, and
utterly destroyed. Large trees were twisted
from their roots, and carried hundreds OF
yards.
A considerable number of horses, cattle
and other stock, and nearly all the poultry
in its course, were killed. The pecuniary
damage is not less than $4,000.

Fire Record.

At Hot Springs, Ark, about 80 in the
morning a FIRE broke out in a shanty oc-
cupied by a negro named Greenless. The
fire communicated to the French Restaurant,
and thence north and south on both sides of
the street. All buildings are burned nor h
of Rockafellow's drug store, and south below
Malvern Crossing. About two hundred and
fifty buildings were destroyed, and an i'm
mense amount of goods. As there is but
one street in the valley, the steamer was cut
off, and could afford no relief to the lower
end of the town until the flames had been
checked above it. Loss about 100000.
Little insurance.
A fire at ~spartansburg, Pa, a small town
near Cory, a few mornings since, destroyed
every business house in the place, includ-
ing the Masonic Lodge. Post-ofiee and
depot. Loss estimated at $4,000; insurance
$4,000. Supposed to be the work of an
incendiary.

Adventures of a Dead Body.

The body Of John w. Beavers, the
murderer who was hanged the other
day at Madison, Ind, was as bitterly
hunted as he was before his death.
After his execution the body was taken
to a vault in Springdale cemetery. The
relatives feared that it would be stolen
by the doctors, and therefore Mr.. Cor
don, Beavers brother-in-law, went to
the vault duricg the night and carried
the remains away in his wagon. He took
the body to his farm and hid it under the
hay in the barn, intending to bury it
the next day. His hired mar went out
early in the morning to feed the cattle,
and was Mortified by stumbling oyer the
corpse. He gave such shrieks that the
neighbors were alarmed. After the mat
ter was explained quiet was restored, the
body was carried to New Liberty
church-yard, to be buried beside his
poor, dead wife. This poor boon was
not allowed him, however, for a mob OF
neighbors residing neal the church were
there and angrily refused to let the
body be inferred, and it had to move
on" 1t was taken to still another quiet
country church-yard to find rest, but
active runners had aroused the neigh
borhood, and the residents for miles
around hocked on horseback and foot,
to prevent the sacred resting-pl.ee of
their loved and lost ones from being
desecrated by the vile corpse of an ex-
ecuted murderer finding sepulture there,
and again the body was refused burial.
The wagon containing the remains
moved away, and it was not until Tues
day night, FIVE days after the execution,
that the bfoated and disgusting corpse
found a resting-place in an unknown
grave in the woods. Those who know
where the body rests are few, and tt e
who care are fewer. Beavers did a
merited death on the scaffold, and his re-
mains found a fearful resting-place.

aRAD1x,p in one Of his recent New York


3RADIx,n in one Of his recent New York
letters, makes q good point apropos of life
insurance. investigations and troubles gener.
ally, by cal ing attenti n to the fallaey Of
Judging OF the reliability of companies ac-
cording to their bulk. Many such institu.
tons seek to dazzle the public eye by print
ing their large gross assets in the heaviest
type, and by laying or at stress upon the
nominal millions under their control to win
confidence and prevent any close analysis of
the whole statement. He points out the plain,
but often forgotten fact, that even c ,nceding
the equally good quality Of the assets of
two companies, it il not necessarily the one
with the most millions which is safest for
the policy holder, but the one whose net
surplus bears the ,argest ratio to its whole
property. "Radix" finds the H ma Life
Insurance Company, of Hartford, to be one
of the strongest, if not the very strongest,
institution of the kind in the country.
With a little over twenty-four millions of
assets, it has about four and a quarter
millions of clear surplus. The special COM
mission appointed by the Legislature of
Connecticut q year ago, to investigate all
the life insurance companies OF that State,
say of the Etna that It'll " not only solvent,
hut financially sound, and under the man.
agement of officers and d ~rectors of large
experience, sound judgment, and I'M
blemished character, and entitled to the en-
tire confidence of policy holders and the
public" Taking the above facts and this
official Endorsement together, it is evident
that this writer's estimate of the Etna Is
one that can be everywhere safely Endorsed.
