Good Advice from n Leading
Medical Professor.

The learned doctor says: Keep
some kind Of a tonic medicine always
in the house, and if anyone feels un-
well, make free use OF it. But ilst be
sure that it is both harmless as we'll as
m%eritorIous. Put no trust in alcoholic
preparations: their use will lead 10
intemperanco; neither be partial To
any remedy that produces a severe
cathartic effect, for prOstration OF the
nervous system and digestive organs is
sure to follow. The mildest and best
medicine ever invented for strength
ening every part Of the body and re-
storing impaired or lost organic func.
tons to their normal condition, and
one whicl, is having an unparalleled
and rapidly increasing sale In the
Eastern States, is Browns Iron Bit
tiers. Any druggist will procure it fol
you if you request him to do so, espe-
cially when he finds you cannot be
persuaded to take some substitute,
II does not contain alcohol, and is the
only preparation Of Iron that cures
headache and does not blaeken the
teeth. 1t is q sure reviver, a true
str~engthener, and the very best medi.
cine wei invented for permanently
strengthening the pulmonary, urinary
and digestive organs, and preventing
consumption, kidney diseases ant
chronic dyspepsia, often curing these
diseases when ali other remedies hav,
failed; for it is truly natures best
assistant. "-LGazette.

The next day we visited the Hotel

the sick are cared for by the nuns Of
the convent attached. l am almost
ashamed to say hal we didn't care
much about the hospital and the sick

other way than as nursing the suffer-

very sweetest, prettiest little creature,
still in her twenties, and robed in her
soft white dress, white cotton apron
and handkerchief and with the veil
shading the white linen face-bands,
acted as our attendant through the
wards in the most gracefully, courte-
GUS and almost childishly innocent
fashion. And to think she can never
step outside those walls, never see the
world save as the windows give her
the beautiful river view, never see a
friend or relative. Why! | cannot
even imagine i'll And she so sweet,
so pure, 50 truly happy. for there was
no shame in that face nor in those Of
other nuns of all ages whom we saw
about. Well, thank God that | can

though my forefathers were Of the

OYSTERS WITH a BIG o.
A Place Where the People Make
Their Living from the BIZ
valves.

Chineoteasue Letter to Richmond Dispatch.I
Oysters are the living Of the people.
and there not probably $50 Of the
100 people who do not directly derive
their support from the oyster trade.
| can only think of the employees at
the Assateague light house and the
United States Signal station and the
life saving staten, and the proprie-
tors and employees of the fish fertilizer
factories, who have a living indepen-
dent of the oyster trade, which is
principally with New York, Philadel-
phia and Baltimore. The waters of
the beautiful Chincoteague Bay rest
upon an oyster bed. These oysters
are mostly cultivated; that is, they are
taken up in the waters away seventy
FIVE or one hundred miles below here
on the numerous bays and creeks, and
brought up in the oyster vessels in the
fall and spring, and thinly spread in
this bay, the lines designating the diff
ferent ownerships being marked off by
stakes stuck at intervals deep in the
mud and showing above the surface Of
the water.
This is called planting, and after
laying here two years the oysters are
taken up, having grown to great size,
and being superior to those Of almost
any waters.
The cultivation Of these oysters il
very profitable, generally yielding q
profit Of from 200 to 300 per cent on
the outlay, and the business last yeal
reached somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of $300,0 600 from this point. The
planting commences with the LIST o.
September, and the men who engage
in the business are now busily caulk,
ing, repairing, fitting up and painting
up their oyster vessels and gcttinl
ready tor the work which the law doe
not allow them to begin until the da,
named. Then the whole army o
oystermen will begin to move, ant
the season of activity will set in, ant
with the cold weather they will begil
to take up their plants and ship, an
money will be as plentiful here as o.
Wall street until the warm weather Q
next spring stops the demand an.
brings rest for the next summer.

The assassination of General
w. +. Tucker.
Ylcksburg HerAld.l

flckaDurg herAlu.l
The announcement that General w.
Z. Tucker had been assassinated, sent
a thrill of horror through our commu-
nifty. The special in the Rerald in
regard to it shows it to have been one
Of those dark and diabolieal deeds
that mark an epoch in the commu-
mites where they occur. From the
meager information We have of the
affair It seems to be shrouded in mys-
terry. A simple statement is made
that he was called to the window at
night and shot through the heart.
1t seems impossible to imagine any
justification for so horrible a crime,
and as yet no motive has been sug-
gested for it. The supposed assassin
has been arrested but no sufficient
proof has been found. Further de-
velopments will be awaited with pain
full interest.
General Tucker was one Of the first
citizens Of the State. He was an ex-
cellent lawyer, and has served the
people in public life in many positions
with marked ability. When we last
saw him at the Democratic Congerva.
tive State Convention, in which he
took a prominent part, he appeared in
stalwart health, though be was ovel
sixty years of age.
The horrible manner of his death il
another evidence that our citizens
cannot have too firm a purpose to pur
down lawlessness and violence. Pub.
lie sentiment must demand, and con.
tinue to demand the punishment o
those who commit acts Of violenc,
until the ~law-abiding will feel the pro
lection of tho law, and the lawles
class be in terror Of swift and sur
punishment.

Since st. Louis was forced to &C.

twenty-five years ahead in experience,

which invites colaborers and loses no
