TELLING TALES OUT OF SCHOOL,
Among the arrival of immigrants at Cas-
tie Garden, Monday, were a number of
manufacturers of English jams and pre-
serves. Speaking of the extent to which
adulteration of food is carried on in the
old country one Of them said: ''People
are ignorant how so-called family pre-
serves are made. It is no unusual thing
| for unscrupulous manufacturers to make
them from all kinds Of faded fruits and
decomposed vegetables. More than one
half of the raspberry" jam made in
England is from decayed figs, which are
boiled down with sugar and little es-'
! sence and other chemicals added The
pip6 OF the figs represent those of the
raspberry, so the fraud is scarcely appar-
ent." 1t is to be hoped that i'll this coun-
try, where fruit is usually SO abundant
and cheap, the ways exposed by these
| English immigrants will have no imita-
tors.
A GOOD MEDICINE.-J. Wyatt, of Rock
ingham, n. G. has little boy, five years
old, who has been suffering wrth skin
disease, breaking out all over, ever since
he was born. He informs us, he saw the
advertisement of DR.. J. c.. Ayers Sarsa-
parilla i'll the Danville Times, and bought
bottle of it. He administered it to the
boy, and states there has been wonder
full improvement. The breaking out is
rapidly disappearing, and the boys ap-
petite is good for the first time.-Dan-
Oaz1e, "a, Times.
Ayers Sarsaparilla is sold by all drug
gsts, and is a positive remedy for impur-
tiles of the blood. 31w4
The WEDDING DECLARED OFF.-It is
reported in New York in the circles in
which the parties, move that Clara Louise
Kelloggs projected marriage to Thomas
B. Whitney, of Philadelp phia, is not to
| take place. The engagement of the cele-
brated songstress to the Phladelphian
was widely announced last November,
and it was generally expected that the
wedding would soon take place. 1t is
now believed, however, that the idea has
been entirely abandoned, but no particu-
lars OF breach have been made public.
The Louisville Courier-Journal saws
Senator David Davis takes great comfort
In reading paragraphs like this: 'Balzac
was so stout that it was days exercise
to walk around him; the riot act would
not disperse him, and he was encircled
with bandages as if a hogshead. Rossini
was veritable Jumbo, since for years
he never saw his knees; ordinarily he was
called by the small boys hippopotamus
in pantaloons. Jules Janin, the prince
of critics, broke every sofa he sat upon;
his chin and his cheeks protruded beyond
his beard and his whiskers Lablache
was charged three fares whenever he
Travelled, and it was in a horse-box ele-
gantly fitted up with all the comforts of
| a home, plus an opening outside that he
voyaged before his DEATH"

this year IN the Congressional delegation
from that state there seems to be no hesi-

greatest embarrassment from which the
party is likely to suffer is in choosing it's
candidates from the great number eager
for the honors. Judge Taylor the sue

Major Butterw orth ia the First District.
are about the only members of the pres

lukewarmness or fear of defeat.
GEORGIA'S CURIOUS SHAKING Rock
Charlottesville Democrat: One of the
main points of interest here is an eccen-

better describe it than by saying it is the
oldest thing anyone ever saw. In the
