Great cure Of Rheumatism, Neuralgia,
and other diseases of one of the first la
dies of Knoxville, who had been con-
fined to a bed and rolling chair most of
the time during the past seven years,
and could not walk step the last seven
months, Dr. Jones has her walking
about in eight weeks.
DIR. JoNEs-Dear Sir: | am rejoiced to
report that on the sixth day after taking
your medicine my wife was able to walk
across the room the seventh day briskly
walk from the sitting room to the bed
room; the eighth day walking still more,
and comparatively free from pain. This is
the more remarkable as she had not walked
for seven months before taking " UT medi-
cine, being in bed or on her rolling chair
all that time, and suffering intensely from
head to feet inclusive with Neuralgia and
rheumatism. She had tried several differ
ent medical resorts and many doctors. when
you were announced at the Hattie Hou Q,
which resulted, under the blessing of God,
in, we believe, permanent cure. We feel
like recomm ending all suffering humanity
to go to DR.. Jones. Very respectfully,
JOHN B. CLoTwoRTHY,

JEFFERSON DAVIS, late president
of the late Confederate States, it is
known, has written book which is
supposed to be in the nature of
justification of the part he took in
the Inauguration and prosecution of
of the rebellion. The book is not
out yet, but the advance proof
sheets have fallen into the hands of
the newspaper folks and they are
c-iticising it. It appears to be de-
voted largely to a defense of the
old doctrine of state rights as taught
and practiced in ante bellum days.

GAN OLD FoGY" in the Louisville
Courier-Journal draws a contrast
between the morals of Congress-
men of the present day and those
of forty years ago. Then there
were four or five respectable faro
banks" in Washington patronized
literally by members of Congress.
can Old Fogy" says it was no un-
common sight to see "a score of
Congressman present, some bucking
the tiger, and others amusing them>
selves in various ways" Then they
received fifteen hundred dollars per
annum, and there was doubtless
less official corruption than now.
The lobby of those days was not SO
powerful as it is now. But We are
not Of those who believe that the
world is so much worse than it was
then. There are doubtless gamblers
in Congress now, hut public opinion
has changed. The ever>watchful
newspaper correspondent is on
hands, and when a member of Com
gress becomes a notorious gambler,
or debauche, his constituents are
apt to find it out. The newspapers
make Congressman, but they also
unmake them. The influence Of
the press in behalf of morality is
not understood and appreciated.

DR.. JONES, Hattie House, Knoxville:
My Dear Sir: 1t affords me extreme
pleasure to inform you that my sons eyes
which you Strengthened twenty days ago
are perfect in sight and appearance, and

SUNDAY, FEB. 20, 1881.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Tribune, "inserts piece" from the
Herald and in "good earnest" asks
for an "honest expression" from US,
The substance Of the "piece' is that
thousands Of colored people have
purchased tickets to the Inaugural
ton ball and are going to trip "on
the colored toe in number fourteen
pumps TO the fascinating music of
the marine band" To be candid
with our esteemed contemporary,
the ''piece" inserted from the Her
aid is gross exageration Of facts.
Only about one hundred tick
cts to the ball have been sold
to colored people, and they are to
such men as Fred. Douglass, Sena-
tor Bruce and others. Douglass is
upwards of sixty years old, and will
not likely desire to trip on his coll
ored toe in number fourteen pumps.
If our esteemed neighbor is not
afraid Of the twenty-five thousand
troops that are to be in Washing~
ton, and wants to attend this ball,
We give it as our opinion, in "good
earnest" that he will not be forced
to trip on his white toe ia number
ten pumps with any colored damsel.
But, upon the whole, in good "earn-
est" we are afraid this thing
"smacks of royalty and kingdom
come"

SCHILLER AND Hrs TINES. BY JOHANNES
SoHERR. TRANSLATED FRoM The GERMAN
BY ELIZABETH MCCLELLAN. H.. koHLER,


The names Of the great German poets,
Schiller and Goethe. have become household
words even in America. Though born in
Germany and having citizenship and resi-
dence there, the genius which inspired them
wrought in a field as broad as humanity.
Their works were for mankind, and SO where
ever there is intellect to understand. their
works are appreciated.
This volume upon Schiller and his Times,
is a welcome and important contribution to
our knowledge of the poet. 1t places him be-
fore US in different light from that in which
we have hitherto viewed him. In its pages
we see him as he was in his daily life. 1t
contains no critical analysis of the immortal
works of the poet as does Carlyle's Schiller,
but il presents the child at his mothers knee,
the boy attending school, the man struggling
with poverty, and at last crowned with
laurel and commanding the admiration OF
the greatest inteIlects. As the title implies,
this is not mere biography Of Schiller. The
work contains history Of the times as we'll
a. the life Of Schiller. The latter could
hardly be well understood without the form
er. In the minor parts Of the volume. there
are defects due to the author or translator
which ought not to be. but after all the noble
and loving spirit in which the work il done,

Never, perhaps, has season been more

white dresses and low quarter shoes.
The ''Uncle' is busy putting up his Sec

latest style hat with its accompanying roses,
wreaths of artificial everythings and finally
