An active brain, sparkling, wit a cheer
full mind, a bright eye, robust body, pure
tich blood and vigorous bounding circu-
lation, add many charms to female socisty
yet, ali how few ladies can boast of all
these signs of health! While they remain
victims to those terrible female complaints,
they will be compelled to be mere feeble,
delicate drones upon society. But, awake

Courthouse.

The question Of a new court
house will probably be consid-
cred by the commissioners
court. A new building is one
of our most urgent wants and
many who are familiar with the
cost of such edifces think that
one that will answer the wants
of the county for some years to
come can be built at cost of
about $4,000. For the past
four years the county has been
paying off the indebtedness
contracted during the halcyon
days of radical rule, when a
$4,000 jail was made to cost
about $4,000. Those happy
days are passed never to return,
but tax payers will ever bear
them in vivid recollection. We
think the coming financial state
ment of our county will show
that we are nearly clear of
debt and in a fair way to reduce
the taxation for general purpo-
ses. At present the records of
the county are virtually at the
mercy of the flames-their val
ne is hardly to be measured in
dollars and cents, and their loss
would entail years of litigation
effecting the titles of all land
originally embraced in the mu-
nicipaIity of Washington, but
now including number OF large
and wealthy counties.

Who is Mrs. vyinslow9

As this question is frequently asked, we
will simply say that she is a lady who for
upwards of thirty years has untiringly de-
voted her time and talents as female ply
sician and nurse, principally among chill
dren. She has especially studied the con-
stitution and wants Of this numerous class,
and, as result Of this effort, and practical
knowledge, obtained in lifetime spent as
nurse and physician, she has compoun-
ded a Soothing Syrup for children teething.
|: operates like magic-giving rest and
health, and is moreover, sure to r, gulate
the bowels. In consequence of this article,
Mrs. Winslowis becoming world-renowned
as benefactor Of her race; children GER
tainly do rise up and bless her; especially
is this the case in this city. Vast quanti-
ties of the Soothing Syrup aie daily sold
and used here. We think Mrs. Winslow
has immortaliEed her name by this invalua-
bic article, and we sincerely believe thous-
ands Of children have been saved from an
early grave by its timely use, and that mil
lions yet unborn will share its benefits, and
unite in calling her blessed. No Mother
has discharged her duty to her suffering
little one, in our opinion. until she has Civ

ing Syrup. Try it, mothers-try it now

OBITUARY.

DIED-At the residence of Brother Tom
Willie, at the hour of one, on the morning
of January 23d, 1881, Rev. ROBERT KEN
NON.
He had been i'll Just one week, his friends
hoped his attack not serious, and he did
not speak of death, but seemed very soiici-
tous concerning a grand daughter, whom
he expected 10 keep house at the parsonage
for him.
Most dearly we loved Brother Kennon,
apart from his labor of love. He possess
ed to rare degree gentleness Of manners,
unostentation, the polish of true gentle
man, and great literary atiainments. Sit
ting by our ireside, his genteness drew
the prattling babes 10 his knee, and with
their tiny fingers they would toy the golden
buttons upon his snowy bosom.
Though Brother X. passed his last days
away from kindred friends, none could have
given him more uniring nurses, nor faith
full watchers; sister Willie loved him as a
father, and the best of physicians treated
him.
Just before he expired, he called eddie,
son, help me up, it will take you both;''
they lifted him up; and as a withered lilly
droops upon its stem, his head fell upon
his breast, gently they laid him upon his
pillow. But in their keeping was but the
mortal, the immortal had winged its fight
TO the Throne of Light"
Without groan, sigh, struggle, with
no apparent suffering, only extreme weak
ness, he had passed away, away from the
church militant, to the church triumphant.
Glorious passage! None of our ministers
were present, but We were surrounded by
sympathetic christian friends, who showed
their entire willingness to render every
earthly respect to the loved remains, and at
the grave Drs. Luther and Crane made az
propriate soothing remarks, offered fervent
prayer, and we left him sleeping with the
silent company of the Independence Gem
etery TULA E. DEvER.

BRITISH V1CE-CONsUL CRUMP at Phila-
delphia, is universally denounced for re-
porting to the British government that there
has been an immense mortality among
swine in this country from the disease
known as hog cholera, of which, he says,
100000 died last year in. Illinois. He also
greatly magnifed the few cases Of trichlno-
sis, and represented that the human NOR
tality was appalling. The various boards of
trade have taken appropriate action in re-
gard to the matter, which is deemed of vast
importance to the commercial interests of
the United States, and Secretary Blaine has
addressed note to the British minister in
Washington, denying the truth of Consul
Crump's reports, and stating that from all
this government can learn, after searching
inquiry, leads Immediately to the conclu-
sion that the good faith of her majesty's
representative at Philadelphia has been i'm
posed on by designing spectators, to their
own selfish interests and to the incalculable
injury Of legitimate commerce. The secre-
tary further expresses his trust that the
British minister will concur with him in the
opinion that no steps can be too urgent or
imperative to overtake and contradict this
false statement, and that this government
confidently looks to her majesty's legation
for authoritative denial.

AT the late meeting of lumbermen at Chi
cago the president made the startling state
ment that, owing to the enormous growth OF
the lumber business it will take only twenty
years to exhaust the great pine forests Of the
country if the present rate of depletion con-
tinues. This prophecy is certainly ancient,
for it was made twenty years ago, and still
there is lumber enough at reasonable rates
for all necessary, purposes. 1t must not be
understood, however, that the forests con-
tain as much timber as twenty years ago,
for terrible havoc has been made by the
lumbermen, but the supply has been kept
up by opening avenues of communication
to districts which were then almost inacces-
sible.

AN organization has been effected in New
York to be known as the united States
Cremation company Qimited,) to cremate
the human dead in the quickest, best and
most economical manner" The capital is
fixed at $50, 1000, divided into 200 shares;
one-half the dues received from active
members, and all dues received from asso-
ciate members, are to be paid into the in
cinerant fund, the purpose of which is to
provide facilities for carrying into opera
ton the cremation of deceased members of
the society,"" The Rev. J. D. Bengless,
chaplain of the Brooklyn navy yard, has
been chosen first president of the society,
and from the number of members already
secured, it is evident that cremation of dead
bodies instead of burying has already
acquireda substantial foothold. The sys.
tenn when first broached was shocking and
repulsive to the public at large, but famil-
iarity has already wrought a partial change,
but many years must elapse before it will
be generally adopted.
