One More Unfortunate.

Almost every day the papers chronicleth c
suicide ofsome poor unfortunate whose mind
has been enleebled by dyspepsia, over whose
earthly horizon a heavy gloom has gathered
from the urtold and UNRELIABLE agonies of this
cruel complaint. Dyspepsia is one OF the most
depressing diseases affecting humanity. 1t is
cosmopolitan in its nature-no country is eN-
cmpt from its yisitationS, no family free
from its attacks. There is a balm in Gilead !;
it comes in the shape of the PERUVIAN SYR-
Up. For years ii has been scattering its
blessings abroad. There is probably no DIS
ease which experience has so amply proven
to be remedia6le 10y tie PERUVIAN SYEUP as
dyspepsia. The most aycterate forms Of this
disease have been completely cured by this
medicine as ample testimony OF many of our
first citizens prove.

"DIxIE."-When in 1857 Campbcll's
MINISTRIES were at Mobile, Dan Emmett,
one of the members OF the company,
heard the negroes sing an air and chorus
while rolling cotton on the levee. He
thought it good; SO by little alteration
he arranged it into what is called walk
Around which always winds up the en-
tertanment of an Ethiopian concert. 1t
was "A success. In the spring of 1861,
when the war broke out, Mrs. John Wood
went TO New Orleans to play an engage
ment at the Old Varieties thcater. She
produced Poeahontas. Near the close of
the second act there is Zouave march by
the ladies of the corps de ballet. At the
rehearsal Of the piece the leader Of the
orchestra was in quandary as to what
music they would have. Carlo Patti
(the leader, could not select anything
that would suit the stage manager Ct. Is.
McDonough), and the consequence was
that the rehearsal came to a stand-still.
At length Patti struck up "Dixie." 1t
suited and was adopted, and was played
with a chorus to the same air. "Dixie"
took the town by storm the pianos rang
with it, the boys sang it and the negroes
whistled it. A musician by the name of
Romeo Minera arranged 1t for march
for the Washington Artillery Battery,
and from that hour till now all Southern
men and women hail it with delight.
Cold must be the Southern heart that
does not glow with delight at the sound
of Dixie" But the composer, Dan En-
met, what of him! Why, he can be found
IN ,nty ut
now playing on his fiddle for mere pit
lance, eking out a miserable subsistence
play ing Dixie" to an admiring crowd of
newspaper boys, roughs and beer jerkers.

An AMERICAN FoREsT.-But the most
interesting sight to me was the forest. 1t

grandeur, tall, magnificent, boundless.
| had been somewhat disappointed in not
finding vegetation develop Itself in larger
forms in New England than with us; but
there was no place for disappointment
here. | shall fail, however, to give you
the impression ii makes on one. Did it
arise from height, or figure, or grouping,
it might readily be conveyed to you; but
it arises chiefly from combination. You
must see it in all its stages Of growth, de-
cay, dissolution and regeneration; you
must see it pressing on you and overshad
owing you by its silent forms, and at 9th
er times spreading itself before you, like
natural park; you must see that all the
clearances made by the human hand bear
no higher relation to it than does noun
tain to a globe; you must travel in 1t in
solitariness, hour after hour, and day af-
ter day, frequently gazing on it with sol
emn delight, and occasionally casting the
eye round in search of some pause, some
end, without finding any-before you can
fully understand the impression. Men
say there is nothing in America to give
you the sense of antiquity; and they
mean that as there are no works of art to
produce this effect, there can be nothing
else.

THE WAR CLOUD.

The dispatches tell us of the daily
increase of war feeling in both Eng
land and Russia, and it is said the
diplomatic controversy is approach
ing that dangerous stage where the
point of honor more and more en-
engages attention. 1t is the opinion
of some that the menaces Of England
will force Russia to occupy Constan-
tinople, and this action would no
doubt quickly follow any movement
of a Yarlikc nature on the part of
the British fleet. Austria seems to
have swung around to the side of
Russia again, and all efforts on the
part OF England to secure allies
against Russia have apparently failed.
If war ensues, the Lion and the Bear
will doubtless have single-handed
contest. One is invincible on sea and
the other nearly SO on land. Finan-
cially England is the superior, but
the resources of Russia in men and
material are immense, and she would
make stubborn resistance for years.
With all this bluster and prepare
ton for war, however, we do not be-
lieve England will fight. All this
fuss and fury is intended to secure
diplomatic advantages, and it will fail
to have the desired effect. Before
the war commenced there was an
alliance, or at least an understanding,
between the Emperors of Russia,
Germany and Austria, by which the
contracting Powers agreed that the
time had come when Turkish atroci-
ties in Europe should cease, and that
England should no longer sustain a
semi : civilized, anti Christian and
barbarous government for the sole
purpose of keeping up the balance
Of power and subscribing her own
fancied interests. This agreement
has been carried out to the letter SO
far, aud it will no doubt be sustained
to the end. If England :'don't like
il she can lump it." and go about her
business, England will no longer
be allowed to interfere in affairs on
the continent of Europe, and she
really has nothing to fight for.

A MAN recently hurt on Pennsyl-
vania railroad was taken to hospi-
tai in Philadelphia, where he died.
The coroner of the county in which
he was injured claimed the body and
held an inquest, then the coroner of
the city and county of Philadelphia
held an inquest, and of course the
people must pay the bills. The
Times says: There is nothing in
contemporaneous history to compare
with this little grab for fees except
the case of the Delaware man who
was blown up by an explosion of a
chemical factory, and whose remains
were impartially distributed over the
counties Of Kent, Sussex and New
Castle. The result was that the coro-
ners of the three counties each held
an inquest, and that the tax payers
of Delaware paid three prices for
finding out how one man died.

THE bill passed by the New Yorl

THE bill passed by the New York
Legislature last year prohibiting
pool-selling, appears to have worked
disastrously on the racing establish
ments in that State. The racing
grounds are turned into waste lands,
tho buildings are useless, the thor
oughbred stock is reduced to less
than % cents on the dollar and the
trotting stock also greatly deprecated.
The receipts OF Jerome Park-which
in 1875 amounted to $71 ,061-fell off
last year under the operation of the
pool bill to $780, S7. All other asso-
Citations are similarly affected.

to order the CO. struction OF the
rolling-mill for boiler iron at Mare
Island, as asked by Luttrcll and
Sargent, The Secretary admits that
his chief object is to utilize the scrap
iron that is lying around the yard.
As this iron is probably not worth
$4,000, it is difficult to see the
wisdom Of the plan. But it will be
something for Vallejo, and, perhaps,

Born IN 1764.-James James, or "Double
Jimmy" as he is more familiarly called,
lives on farm twelve miles south of
Weatherford, Parker County, Texas, with
his daughter, Mrs. Nancy Wheat, sixty
three years of age. This old gentleman was
born near the Red House, in Prince Will
lam County, Virginia, May 10th, 1764 His
father resided on plantation near the Po-
tomac, adjoining Lawrence Washington's
Mr.. James has seen Washington often at
his fathers house. He and the brothers
were in the war of 1912. Mr.. James was
Jack of all Trades, as he says he learned to
be carpenter, bricklayer, stonemason
blacksmith, painter and tinsmith. During
his long life he has never been one month
in bed with sickness. Mr.. James was mar
ried in Virginia soon after attaining his ma
jority, and raised family of ten boys and
five girls. Leaving his native State some
years after the war he settled in Roam Coun-
ty, Tennessee. From that place he moved
| to Lauderdale County, Alabama, thence to
| White County, Arkansas, and in 1S49 came
| to Dallas County, Texas, in his eighty
fourth year. He continued his residence
there until 1872, when, in his one hundred
and eighth year, he selected, as he says,
Parker County to spend his old days in. In
his one hundred and ninth year he cult
vated an acre patch of watermelons in Par.
ker County, and raised the finest brought to
market. He realized 1925 from this crop.
Mr.. James talks very we'll, and his hearing
is pretty good Galveston News.

of Captain Racket and miss Mount
