The Body snatehing Business.

I The medical authorities at Nashville
seem to he stirred up over the ex-
pected action of the Legislature in
reference to "body snatching." Ac>
cording to the American, Prof. Brien,
of the Nashville Medical College, says
il law should be passed by the Leg
islature making it a felony TO obtain
"suhjec:s" by the method OF grave
robbing, which has been carried on to
quite an extent Ia some localities, 1t
would necessarily break up the two
medical colleges at Nashville. He
presented to meeting of the Board OF
Health the other day plan 10 be pre-
sented to the Legislature, which pro-
vides that it shall be made felony to
take bodies for other markets, or to be
sent out of the State, and to allow the
medical colleges the bodies of all per-
sons who die while serving out terms
of imprisonment in the State peniten-
tiary or who suffer death by hanging.

A shoeb,ack's sermon.
New Orleans Democrat.

A little shoeblack called at the residence
of clergyman of this city and solicited a
piece of bread and some water. The SER
want was directed to give the child bread
crumb basket, and as the little fellow was
walking slowly away and shifting the gift
between his fingers for piece large enough
to chew, the minister called him back and
asked him if he had ever learned to pray.
On receiving egative answer he directed
him to say. "0ur Father" but he could
father-your father-my father?" "Wby,
certainly" The boy looked at him awhile
and commenced crying at the same time
holding up his crust of bread and exclam-
ing between his sobs: eYeu say that your
father is my father; aren't you ashamed
10 give your little brother such stuff to eat
when you have got SO many good things
for yourself?n G&A

SENATOR BAILEY'S BILL.
The Interest of the South in Educating
the Negro.
New Orleans Times.


We do not agree with those who
pronounce the bill, lately introduced
in Congress by Senator Bailey, Of
Tennessee, entitled Gan act to aid
the education of the colored race"
'humbug measure" We think
the correspondents who supposed
they are pleasing Southern people
by such eminently senseless abjur-
CATION have made serious mistake.
Why is an act Of Congress de-
signed to lift the colored race out
of their ignorance and help
lessness, at the expense of the
country at large, a " humbug meas
ure ?" Certainly no man who is
sound in heart or mind can see any,
thing like humbug7 in making
better citizens of the colored peo-
pie. Certainly there is no better
way of making better citizens of
them by educating them. Certain
ly there is no sounder proposition
than that this education ought to be
given by the power which placed
these people in their present un-
happy condition. Having made
bad citizens of them by con-
ferring the franchise before they
were fit to receive it, the
next best thing is to correct the
mistake, as far as may be at this
day, by qualifying those citizens to
exercise their new rights with the
least possible damage to themselves
and to their white neighbors. The
white man who has suffered from
the citizenship of the densely ig-
norant negro Will profit almost
equally with the negro by the re-
moval of that ignorance, and by
substituting instead modicum of
the qualifications which alone can
make valuable and good citizens.
We think Senator Bailey's resolu-
ton worthy Of Endorsement in every
part of the South. ...-.r...

Ayers Ague Cure,
43 broadway n. Y.

For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever
Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague,
Periodical or Bilious Fever, &C., and indeed
all the affections which arise from malari-
GUS, marsh, or miasmatic poisons.
This is compound remedy, prepared with
scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, which
rarely fails to cure the severest cases of Chills
and Fever and the concomitant disorders. Such
remedy the necessities of the people in mala-
rlouS districts demand. It's great superiority
over any other medicine yet discovered for the
cure of Intemittents is, that it contains no qui-
nine or mineral, and those who take it are free
from danger of qIIinism any injurious effects
and healthy after using it as before. 1t
has been extensively employed during the last
thirty years in the treatment of these distressing
disorders, and so unvarying has been its success
that has gained the reputation of being infal-
libic. II cam therefore, be safely recommended
as sure remedy and specific for the Fever and
Aguc Of the West, and the ChiIls and Fever of
the South. 1t cOunteracts the miasmatic poison
i'll the blood, and frees the system from its inllu-
encc, so that fever and ague, shakes chis,
once broken up by it, do notreturn until the
disease is again contracted.
The great variety Of disorders which arise from
the irritation of this poison, such as Neuralgia,
Rheumatism, GOut, Headache, Blindness,
TOothache, Earache, Catarrll, Asthma, Pal
pitation, Splenic Affections, Mysteries, Pain
in the Bowels, Collie, Paralysis, and derangc-
of the Stomach, all of which become intermit-
tent or periodical, have DO spcedier remedy than
Ayers AGUE CUaT, which cures them all alike,
and protects the system from future attacks. AS
a preventive, it is Of immense service in those
communities where Fever and Ague prevails, as
it stays the development of the disease if taken
the first approach of the premonitory symp-
toms. Travellers and temporary residents are
thus enabled to defy these disorders, and few
will ever suffer if they avail themselves of the
protection this remedy affords.
For Liver Complaints, arising from torpidity,
1t is an excellent remedy; it stimulates this organ
into healthy activity, and produces many remark
able cures where other medicines fail.

Applying FeraflizeTs

To have the best results fertilizers must
be applied judiciously, Study the nature of
your soil. If it is dry avoid heating ma.
nure ashes, salt. plaster ana such fertili-
GERS attract moisture. Never use q ma
nure of which you do not know the nat
ure. If you are about to plant corn upon
a soil that is too cold and wet for his crop
use the most heating manure available.
The droppings OF the poultry house, mixed
with sand or coal ashes, would be good
in such case.

Close Of a Remarkable Murder
Iridi.

One of the most remarkable mpr.
der trials of The age closed ut In
dependence, Missouri, on Friday.
The defendant was Miss Matte
Collins, n handsome, Intelligent
and refined Young lady of that
town. Some six months ago, in 4
fit Of excitement, which was in,lis-
tinguisnahlc from insanity, she
shot ami killed her hrothcr-in-law,
becau$e lie objected to llcr love,
and was the cause of rupture OF
her marriage engagement. Opin-
ion as to the character of Miss Col
lins's fiancec was divided in indie
pendence, some declaring that he
was nc'er-,lo-wccl, and that she was
fortunate in getting rid Of him,
while others as stoutly maintained
that he would make an excellent
husband. 1t was not alleged that
Darkc, the brother-iE-law who paid
the penalty of his life for intTfcr-
ing in the love affair of Miss Col
Inns, was actuatcd by malicious
motives. A plea Of emotional in
sanity was put in, and it was shown
that for some time before the shoot
ing Miss Collins was half-crazcd by
the conduct Of her lovers enemies.
Tho shooting was done deliberately
enough. Her mother was the sole
witness for the State, and her posi-
ton during the trial was almost MS
painful as that Of the unhappy de-
