THE BRAvEsT OF THE BRAvE.-We
are accustomed to laud, in extravagant
terms, the deeds of leaders of forlorn
hopes. He who first mounts the seal
ing ladder and leaps from a parapet
into a stronghold crowded with defend
ers has lived immortal in books and
mems memories. Armies watch, lead
ers honor, governments enrich and
people caress these heroes. Their mo-
tives are not so much impulses of un-
selfish patriotism as selfish love of
glory. They would be rewarded with
the reverence and praises of our race.
But more daring and Drawer deeds
have been done even here than were
ever made immortal by epic poetry or
sturdy history. Two unpretending,
modest women have listened each day,
through weary weeks, to the story Of
progressive human suffering. Each
day there was greater need for services
such as they have rendered when
Texan towns and villages were desc
lated by the yellow plague. Presi-
dent Longstaff, of the Memphis
Howard Association, finally tele-
graphed that trained, fearless fe-
male nurses were sadly wanting.
This dispatch was seen by these two
ladies, and Saturday they left for the
yawning graveyards along the course of
the great River of Death. Men would
prefer to defy the lannon's wrath or bay
onet's thrust. No day of bloody strife
was ever as terrible as weeks and months
spent In hospitals or homes of poverty
mlnistering to the wants of the helpless
and dying. The presence of intolerable
human anguish and this ceaseless con.
temptation of death ever impending
over those who close the eyes of the
dying render the modest, unpretending
deeds of those women infinitely more
heroic than those of men, which books
and eloquence and newspapers laud.
Women's names, if they fall, are I'm
heralded by the press. There are
none to lift up monuments in
their honor and none to perpetuate
the memory of their self-sacrlficing de-
votion and exalted courage. There
fore, we need hardly to commend
the Howard Association the two ex-
cellent women of whom we speak.
Their conduct is a sufficient assertion
of their worth. Very certainly two
drawer and truer women never went
forth from Texas than Mrs. Kate Davis
and Mrs. Emily Ford, the latter the
daughter of the late Judge Gildart, of
Wilkinson county, Mississippi, and
both we'll known and highly esteemed
in the capital.

Prompt Reform of Bodily Evils:

The prompt reform of those bodily
evils, enfeebled digestion, incomplete
assimilation, inactivity of the liver,
kidneys and bladder, as well as of the
nervous system, which these ailments
are especially prone to beget, is always
accomplished by the use of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, a medicine accredited
by physicians, pronounced pure by
analysts, and eminently wholesome and
agreeable. Surely such restorative
Is preferable to unpalatsble and indi-
gestible mineral drugs aud unsanction-
ed nostrums. The nation at large as
suredly thinks so, judging by the IN
precedented demand for the article
from Name to the Pacific, demand
now supplemented by immense orders
for it received from tropical America,
Mexico, the British and Spanish colo
NAL possessions and elsewhere. At
home and abroad it is recognized as a
standard remedy and preventive, the
decisiveness of its effects recommend
ing it everywhere.

times ideas have been caught from the

Frank Leslig'S SUNDAY MAGAZINE. For November.

There is no periodical which can more justly claim to be edifying, enter taining and instructive than this, as well as being the cheapest religions magazine in the world. The evident aim of the editor, the Rev. c. F. Deems, is to afford complete satisfaction to all classes of readers: and for recreation on the Sabbath, no publication has bright CT. more varied, or more wholesome articles. The opening article of the November Number is a well consid- cred memorial of David Livingstone, the celebrated explorer of Africa one of those great men who have al- so been christians, and who, like Christ have died for men. The arti- cle is illustrated by eleven admira- ble engravings. There are the usu- al unmner of interesting serial and short stories-"Michael Airdree' s Freehold" and "In Mischief Again" are continued; and new story by Mrs. Barr, "Quahair's Two For tunes," will well repay persual; as will likewise "Learning Trade y which is capital American story, commended especially to the atten- tion of young men. "The Ship of the Desert is an admirable article with twenty cuts, illustrative of the habits and maners of the camel, "Franccs Xavier, the Apostle of the Indies," and "St. Chrysostom," by Lacrolx, will be read will profound interest. The poems are particular ly noteworthy, and the editors Ser mon and his Exegesis are even of more than usual excellence. These are a few of the prominent features of this number, which abounds with valuable article, calculated to i'm prove and elevate the mind; filling 12S quarto pages: and engravings number over 100l The price of a single copy is p cts, and the annu- al subscription $3 postpaid.

When mules ears begin to ex- change approving mods in accord ance with the vibrations of this tail, it is time for the inhabitants in the immediate vicinity to get away from there, without trying to be stylish about it either.

A Remarkable Result.

It makes no difference how many Physicians, or how much medicine you have tried, it is now an established fact that German Syrup is the only reme- dy which has given complete satisfac- tion to severe cases of Lung Diseases. 1t is true there are yet thousands of persons who are predisposed to Throat and Lung Affections, Consumption, Hemmorrhages, Asthma, Severe Colds, settled on the Breast, Pneumonia, Whooping Cough, &c., who have no man Syrup.
