We do not often make any editorial mention
of the proprietary medicines advertised in

we owe to our readers to call their attention
to the advertisement of DIR. j. c. Ayers Ague
Cure which appears in this issue of our paper.
We know from sad experience that nothing
is more dsheartening than the insidious APP
proaches and periodical attacks Of malarial
and miasmatic disorders. The remedy pre-
pared by DIR. Aver & Co. has been in use
many years, and has proved a positive
antidote for disorders of this nature. 1t is,
withal. safe and harmless one to take, being
composed entirely of vegetable ingredients.
without either quinine or minerals. unlike
other so-called Ague Cures, and consequently
incapable of producing the deplorable effects
which follow the use of these drugs Our
Western people owe n debt OF gratitude 10
DIR. Aver for the production of this valuable
medicine Its timely use will save much
suffering. and we recommend it with the
greatest confidence in its ability to do all
that is promised for it.-AtkiaS, Ark, NewS.

The Consultation, whi.h lit orally gushes at times with it's friendship for the colored man, has said not one word in condemnation of Foxs conduct not one word in defense of Wesley Redding's plain rights under the law. The Defaaace a weekly pa- per, edited by @ colored man, is the only journal which speaks out on the subject It upholds Bedding, and is extremely bitter against Fox and the police and the city coun- ci It dubs the City Hall Park Fox's Zoo logical Garden, and directs attention to the fact that the colored people of the city are so intimidated by the threat of the police and the treatment of Bedding that they will not go near the ground. But there is rem edy for this great evil, and Wesley Bedding is serenely seeking it.
 Yesterday Judge Wm. F. Wright, his law yer, and, by the way, a strong Democrat, filed writ in the Circuit Court of the United States for the Northern District of Georgia. Through the courtesy of Judge Wright looked through this writ and found that it is brought under the civil rights bill, and asks the city of Atlanta for $2O, 900 damages for Wesley Bedding. There are three counts. The first count holds the city liable for dam ages directly under the civil rights law. It alleges that Wesley Bedding suffered injuries by reason of his race and color. The second count holds the city. liable because of the trespass and detention of person and restraint of liberty, of which he was deprived by req son of his race and color. The third and last count holds the city liable because the city failed to protect him in the enjoyment of bis rights, privileges and immunities under the laws of the United States; instead thereof oppressed him and denied him said rights. The impression here among intelligent peo- pie is that the writ will ''stick," and that the city of Atlanta, the police force and Mr. Fox will be taught very important lesson.

The railway returns of Great Britain for the past year have just been issued. A little more than quarter of 8 century ago, says the PGU MaU Gazette, the total paid up capi- tai of British railways was only e2S6 ,O69, : 900. It is now e728, ,317, ,0oO, an increase of nearly 155 per cent. As the mileage open has in the same time increased but from 8,O53 to r ,933, or less than 123 per cent, it follows either that the cost of the lines more recently constructed has been greater than that of the early railways, or that great deal of fresh capital has been spent on the old lines. As a matter of fact, probably both elements enter into the increase, some new works, such as those of the Midland company on it's Settle and Carlisle line or on it's approaches to London, or on the Chesh- ire lines-committee' lines-having been frightfully expensive. The very develop ment of the country by the older railways, and consequent enhancement of property values, has also contributed to raise the cost of the later railway construction. The earnings per ''train mile'' have been falling of since 1874, but we are told that the tstrain mile'' is delusive as true test, so we are left in ignorance of the comparative in crease or decrease.

Mr. McMasters discusses, in his F'reemara's s Journal, the charging of money for hearing mass in Roman Catholic churches. He thinks that admission fees are in direct disobedience to decree issued in 1866 by the Plenary Council of America, which said: ''The habit of requiring money at the doors of churches, that the faithful may enter and be present at the divine mysteries, our Holy Father, Plus IX, has declared offensive, and has willed that it be altogether abrogated. Therefore, obedient to the judgment of the supreme pastor, we will put an end altogether to the custom" The American prelates had pro- posed that no one be refused entrance for refusing to give money, but that contribution boxes be placed at the entrance Ito remind the careless" of the duty of supporting the church This was the answer from Rome |: s'Neither inside nor outside of churches let any kind of demand be made on the faithful, lest the shame faced poor be repelled from the holy sacrifice.
