Scarcely any disease to which hui
man beings are subject, is so thorough
ly discouraging as fever and ague. The
periodical return of alternate chills,
fever and sweating, is terribly de-
pressing. Ayers Ague Cure is the
only remedy known, which is certain
to cure permanently, by expelling the
malarial poison which produces the
disease. 1t does this surely, and leaves
no i'll effect upon the system.

arrested last Sunday and brought be-
fore Esquire Holmes charged with
having stolen pair of pants from a
boarder at the Revere House about a
month ago, said pants being the ones,
as alleged, defendant was wearing at
the time of his arrest. Although the
prisoner declared his innocence to the
last, the evidence seemed oyerwhelm-

the trousers and pay fine and the
costs, amounting in all to $500.

A Good Joke on a Lawyer.

An honest German laborer was
passing along the street a day or
two ago, when small dog rushed
out of a yard and bit him on the
leg, tearing his pants and leaving
the print of his teeth in the calf.
The German hastened to a lawyers
office and asked the barrister If he
could not sue the owner of the dog
for damages. The lawyer agreed to
take the case, and made PROPOSE
tions for fling suit for $4,000
damages, alleging that the dog was
ferocius animal, and that plain
tiff S flesh had been terribly lacera-
ted, necessitating the expenditure
of large sums for medical attend
ance and for new pair of pants.
The client was directed to go to the
house of the owner of the dog next
day, make demand for the $4,000,
and ascertain the name of the de-
fendant. He called at the house
early the next morning, and asked
for the "boss." He was somewhat
surprised 10 learn that his black
and tan was the cause of the trou-
bile, and he Informed the client that
suit would not be maintained, as
the injury done was mere trifle,
and the dog was only in fun. The
result of the conference was that
the lawyer gave the client sixty five
cents to pay for patching his pants,
and took receipt in full satisfac-
ton Of all claims for damages.
Both parties were satisfied, and the
courts were spared the trouble of
tryings yexatious and costly dam
aoc suit.

Sound Sleep,

Sound sleep is essential to good
health. 1t is impossible to restore
and recuperate the system, exhaust
ed by labor and activity, without
this perfect repose. Sleep has a
great deal to do with the disposi-
ton and temper A sound sleeper
is seldom unduly disturbed by tri-
les, a wakeful, restless person is apt
to be irritable. A great deal has
been written about the advantages
Of curtailing the hours of repose,
and of sleeping but little.
We are inclined to think that
there is room for doubt whether the
benefits of limiting the time given
TO rest have not been exaggerated.
Active persons of nervous tempera-
ment can hardly get too much sleep.
We know very well that the saving
of two, or three hours a day from
slumber is, i'll one sense, equivalent
to considerable prolongation of
human life, and we are no advocates
of Incidence; but the fact still re-
mains that sleep may be so much
abridged as to leave the system
incapable of as much work in two
hours as might be performed in o
better condition in one.

Old Timber.

Probably the oldest timber in the
world which has been subjected to
the use of man is that found in the
ancient temples Of Egypt in connec-
ton with the stonework which is
known to be at least four thousand
years old. This, the only wood u.s.
ed in the construction of the temple
is In the form of ties, holding the
end ofcne stone to another at its
upper surface. When two blocks
were laid in place, an excavation
about an inch deep was made in
each block, into which tie shaped
like an hour-glass was driven. 1t
is, therefore, very difficult to force
any stone from it's position. The
ties appear to have been of the tam
arisk or shittem wood, of which the
ark was constructed, sacred tree
in ancient Egypt and now very rare
ly found in the valley of the Nile.
The dovetailed ties are just as
sound now as on the day oftheir in
sertion. Although fuel is extreme
ly scarce in the country. these bits
of wood are not large enough to
make it an object with the Arabs to
heave off layer to obtain them.
Had they been of bronze half the
old temples would have been des-
troyed years ago SO precious would
they have been for various purposes.

Gladstone in Two Mirrors.

Mr.. Grant Duff, M. p, recently
entertained his constituents in
England by reading to them two
lcrostics on Mr.. Gladstone, the
first being the work Of clever
Tory who hated the Liberal chief:
G was the great man, mountain OF mind;
l. a logician, expert and refined;
A was an adept in ri r's art,
D was the dark spot b in,his heart,
S was the sohstry leu ii. astray;
T was the truth that he bartared away;
0 was the cipher his conscience became;
N the new light that enlightened the same;
Ewas the evil one, shouting for joy
"At it, and down with it, Gladstone, my
boyr
The acrostic, he said, was repeat
ed in a drawing room in the pres
ence of a young lady of good Lib
eral principles, and the daughter OF
well known member of Parliament,
who, without leaving the room,
went to the table and wrote the an
swer to it.:
G is the genius that governs the Nation;
L are the Lords, who require education;
A is the animus raised by the great;
d are the donkeys who fear for the strife;
S is the standard the Liberals raise,
T are the Tories who howl in dispraise;
O's opposition, wanting a head;
N is the Nation, not driven, but led;
E is old England, shouting for joy,
"Stick to the government, Gladstone. my
boy"
The reading of the reply was
greeted with loud and prolonged
cheering by Grant Duff's friends.

Gold Hunting,

Gold hunting and gold digging
fascinates thousands of persons
because the element of chance, that
which makes gambling attractive
enters into the results. The New
York Times publishes sundry facts
about this mania, which he com
mended to the young:
Despite the immense yield o.
gold in California it is now showr
that their tillable soil produces more
actual wealth than her richest
mines.
Her grain and her fruits exceed
in value the best of her placers.
Most persons think of Californis
as only gold bearing State, and il
is pleasant to know that her Agri
cultural resources are beyond those
Of her mines. Agriculture is apt tt
pay better than gold or silver seek
ing in any fertile, well cultivated
region; but there is sort of fasci-
nation about the precious metals
which allures men the world over
and binds! them to the more ration
al and legitimate branches Of in
ldustry.

Excessive Heat in France.

LONDON, July 21.--A letter from
Paris dated yesterday says; ''In
all my visits to Paris this is the
worst summer by far l have ever
known. Old residents say they
have never seen its like. On Tues
day the thermometer touched one
hundred and one in the shade, and
it has been 96 to 90 nearly every
day since the 10th inst. The heat
has been awful, and horses and
men have wilted. The streets have
been scantily washed and sprinkled
some of them not at all. Dust rises
in toggy clouds, and bad smells fiji
the air indoors aud outdoors. /
Paris escapes an epidemic it will bt
fortunate. There are few American
tourists here. All who could leave
have gone, seeking cooler spot. Il
is said that wheat and other crops
are suffering from heat, and in the
absence of rain that product will be
much below that of last year"

A Fable.

A pack of hyenas having been
much annoyed at the manner in
which the leopards had carried of
the sheep which they had intended
to feed upon, were rejoiced to see
one of the enemies alone. "Now,'
said they, ''we can revenge our
selves, and strike terror into the
rest of the family. We have moth
ing to do but surround him, and he
will fall an easy prey to our fury"
''It will be grand thing to drag
home a dead leopard" said Il young
hyena. II will have his head"
said another. "And l his tail, "
.'And l his teeth" "And 1 his
claws" "And his body will make a
fine feast for u.s." said all the hyen-
as; and they laughed in chorus.
They drew closer aad closer around

would be better than fighting, and,
perceiving sturdy tree not far off,
he made a sudden bound, and, up
setting several of his assailants,
gained one of the lower branches.
where he kept the enemy at bay,
So matters stood, suddenly the
leopard begun TO growl furiously,
and the growl was answered by a
prolonged growl in the distance.
Again-and again the leopard growl-
ed, and each time the growl was
heard from afar. "The leopards are
coming" SAID an old hyena, 1--WE
had better be off," Then q panic
seized upon the pack, and away
they fled, leaving the leopard his
post of advantage. He waited q
few moments after the last of his
opponents disappeared and then
quietly descended. "Ah," said he,
it is not always those who talk the
loudest who win the victory. A
wise head will outgeneral an army
OF boosters; and it was lucky re-
membered that there was an echo
abont here, or l should not have
been left master of the field"

The Spanish FortRailroad.

The recent sale of the New Or
leans, Spanish Fort and Lake rail
way owned by NJ. Swartz & Bro,
merchants of this city, to the New
Orleans and North Eastern Railroad
Company, prompts us to mention
in terms of praise the names of
these gentlemen, who, by their en-
ergy and liberal expenditure of
money, have transformed a marsh
into one of the most delightful
lakeshore resorts in the country.
Those who remember the condition
of Spanish Fort few years ago
cannot fail to notice the change
which has taken place and appre-
ciate it's present magnificence. For
the Spanish Fort and for its beauty
and comfort the public is indebted
to M. Schwartz & Bro. and to Capt.
T. S. Williams, the Superintendent
of 5tn road, to whose able manage
m Al I'd executive ability much OF
the success is due. From short
local road the Spanish Fort line
suddenly springs iato prominence as
part of the great railway enter
prises which mark the growth and
development of the South. In q
short time the line will span the
lake, and after passing through
some of the finest timber and agri-
cultural lands in the country will
form a connecting link with the
great eastern lines centering at
Chattanooga and Meridian. The
benefit which New Orleans will de
rive from such a connection will add
much to the already immense trade
which she controls. The public
spirit of M. Schwartz d Bro, which
has done so much for the embel-
lishment of the city and the com
fort of the people, will be manifest
ed in other enterprises equally as
beneficial to the prosperity of the
great Southern metropolis. The
Swartz Brothers are justly entitled
to the gratitude of the entire pub
lie, as they eyince a spirit of enter
prise which places them in striking
contrast with the old moss-back ele.
ment which has done as much to
retard the development of New Or
leans. Such men are too few in
this community, and should be ap-
preciated.--N. 0. Democrat.

Conscience.

1t matters not that the murderer
was acquitted by jury. There is
a higher power within the breast
that condemns him. The uncertain
shadows of the departing day bring
out in profile the form of his vic
tim. His sleepless nights are
haunted by the spirit of blood. And
when day and he walks forth in the
sunlight the clouds watchi@g above
will assume the face of the one
dead victim. The blades of grass
that he crushed under his feet will
raise their chrushed heads after him
and cry to God with a voice that
shall be heard through all eternity
ga murderer" Thus it was in tht
beginning; so it shall ever be.

Should Tired People Go to Church.

Should Tired People Go to Church.
Many Of those who stay at home
all day Sunday because they are
tired make a great mistake; they
are much more weary ON Sunday
nigh. than they would have been
had they gone to church at least
once, as the time must often drag
heavily on Sunday for lack of some
thing to do and to think about, and
the consciousness of having spent
the day unprofitably must some
times add mental disturbance and
dissatisfaction to the langor that
follows idleness.
More over these tired people
would often find refreshment for
their minds and their hearts in the
quiet service of the church. They
would secure by means OF them
change of mental atmosphere, and
the suggestion of thoughts and mo-
tiyes and sentiments which are out
of the range of their work. For a
hard working mechanic or salesman
or housekeeper or teacher, this di-
version ofthought to other than the
customary themes, might be the
most restful way of spending a por-
ton of the dav of rest.
We happen to know several cases
in which this prescription has been
used with excellent results. Those
who want to stay at home because
they were too tired on Sunday to
90 to church, have been induced to
try the experiment of taking rest
for their souls as well as their bod
les, In the sanctuary, for a small
part of Sunday, and they testify
that they have found what they
sought; that the observance has
proved a refreshment rather than O
weariness, and that their Sundays
never gave them so much good rest
when they staid at home, as they
have given them since they formed
the habit of going to church.

Help the Orphan.

The Hon. A. H. Stephens, of
Georgia; in an address before a
meeting at Alexandria, some years
since, for the benefit of the orphan
asylum of that city, related this in
cident:
A poor boy, one cold night, with
no home or roof to shelter his head,
no parental or maternal guardian or
guide to protect or direct him on
his way, reached, at nIghtfall, the
house of rich planter, who tooi-
him in, fed and lodged him, and
sent him on his way, next day, with
a friendly blessing. Those kind at
tentions cheered the heart of that
boy. and inspired him with fresh
courage to battle with the obstacles
life. Years rolled round. Provi-
dence led him on, and he had reach
ed the legal profession; his former
kind host had died, and the cormo-
rants, that prey on the substance
left by man, had formed a conspira-
Cl W SCO lIOul bllS WiuON HCI CS-
tates.
She sent for thenearest counsel to
commit her cause to his hands; and
that conasel proved to be the or
phan boy, years before welcomed,
entertained and so kindly treated by
the diseased husband! The stimu-
lus of warm and tenacious graft
tude was now added to the ordinary
motive connected with the legal
profession.
He undertook the cause for the
widow with will and determlna-
ton not easily to be resisted; he
gained it; the widows estates were
secured to her in perpetuity, and
{ Mr.. Stephens added with an en-
phasis of emotion, that sent an elec-
trio thrill through the entire au-
dience), "that orphan boy stands
before you to night"
