The "Only" Lung Pad Co. Thank
heaven it is the only one-of that kind.
Fhe company is fraud and their pad is
Enthusiastically the biggest humbug
going. We would proclaim this though
we had only" one lung left to do it
with. They have cheated more news
papers than any other fraud since Helm
bold tried to resurreet himself from
by getting Detroit paper to endorse
them. There is "cussing" going on in
newspaper offices all over the country,
though few of them dare to tell how
they have been taken in. We lave no
such delicaey. They got three months
advertising out of us and we haven't so
much as pad to show for it. We have
nothing but the stereotype CUT
"Only this and nothing more"
We are gazing sadly upon it as we
write. 1t is the head and naked bust of
a man (the "only" inventor and pro-
prietor, we suppose,) with a pair Of
pads suspended over his lungs by a
ribbon around his neck" "The 'Only'
Lung Pad" is inscribed upon them.
Below "Trade Mark appears, and we
hope the trade will mark what we say.
Now that we look at the picture more
closely we can see that fraud is stamped
upon every lineament of that face.
1t is a trade mark, in fact, that no one
could mistake. Singular that we didn't
observe it in the first place, but some
how we never scrutinize a patent medi-
cine picture very closely until they fail
to pay their bills. Then their guilty
faces stand right out, SO that he who
runs-their advertisement without get
ting anything for it-may read. Sur
rounding the picture is the legend:--
"Try it. 1t has cured many" We tried
it. Tried it three months-their ad
yertising, we mean-and it cured us, OF
a desire to have any more of it. sit
cures by absorption" says the adyer-,
ment. 1t does. 1t absorbed our space
and returned nothing for it. Hence our
cure. cit cures all lung diseases,
all throat diseases, all breathing
troubles" 1t wonld take consid-
cradle money to cure all news
papers who are breathing troubles
about getting their pay: "You can be
relieved and cared.n We will .vouch
for you being relieyed-of any money
YOU invest in then-bnt being cured is
another thing. "Send for testimonials
and our book Three Millions Year"
That lisa pretty big SUM, three millions
a year. You expected to swindie news
papers out of that amount no doubt,
but you viii hardly come up to- it.
They found you out before the first
quarter expired.
Ia, ia. When you come this way,
call on US, but wear pad, thick, heavy
one, adjusted to the seat OF your panta-
looms. 4 "A 4 @ f# @,.z

DIE ID

La, on Thursday morning, April 18th, Mrs. H.
G. DEVICES, in the 57th year of her age.
The estimable lady whose name appears ilt
this death record was born in Spotsylvania Co.,
Va, and has lived in this parish since January
1866. She commenced teaching at the early
age of 16, as private governess in her native
State, and her educational labors never relaxed
until the day that she was stricken down.
a faithful laborer in the special vineyard of her
choice. .5.s
AS rule we dislike obituary notices save
those of the briefest. 1t is too much
the custom to extort extravagantly and in con-
yentional terms the virtues OF deceased friends,
whose mefits we gauge by our own special grief
for their loss. But there are some exceptional
cases where we turn from the hacknied
obituary iargon and say simply-'What an ir-
reparable loss is ours land a whole commu-
nifty echoes orr words. In Mrs. Devices we
mourn one who by nature and choice was an
educator. The bloom Of early youth, tue en-
thusiasm and talent Of ripper years, the expert
ence of age were devoted to her one special
task. She could have won fame, and perhaps
competence as writer, for she had a mascu-
line grasp of mind, and her prose writings are
full of original thought and nervous energy.
Two poems that we remember Of hers are ex-
guisite for their pathos and musical rhythm,
but we do not think she eyer published line,
or cared to do SO. Teaching was the Aaron's
rod which swallowed up all other possible aims,
and she was the best of teachers. Many of the
children she instructed here are now men
and women, and they owe to her not merely
the words of lessons, but ideas and truths that
can fill life with great and noble possibilities.
A conscientious and faithful teacher does
great life work, and our friend recognized its
dignity and importance. When she was strick-
en- down with rhe pitiless malaly which never
relaxed its grasp, her great regret was that she
could no longer continue her labors.
She has passed beyond the veil, and We are
sure she went prayerfnl!y and humbly. In tho
fiery furnace of such suffering as makes mortal
flesh culver to witness it, her mind continued
unclouded to the last few days before her death,
and she repeatedly assured friends that death
had no dread for her,
Softly within the peaeeful resting place
we lay their Wearled limbs and hid the clay
Press lightly on them, till the night be past,
and the far East give note Of coming day.

GRATEFUL WoMEN.-None receive so
much benefit, and none are so profound
ly greatful and shoW such an interest
in recommending Hop Bitters as wo-
men. 1t is the only remedy partially
adapted to the many ills the sex is al
most universally subject to. Chills and
fever, indigestion or deranged liver,
constant or periodical sick headaches,
weakness in the back or kidneys, pain
in the shoulders and different parts Of
the body, feeling of lassitude and des-

these bitters.-ECourant.

master OF several languages. He went aboard
ship ut New York, bound around Cape Horn,
intending TO study navigation and follow the
sea- but abandoned IL on reaching San Fran

California to Nevada, and came thence to

TO Confederate Gulch, and thence to Cedar
