they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter of a century, and have
obtained q worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilatiYe organs of the
body, and are so composed that Obstl1lc-
tions within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have bafflcd tho best of
human skill. While they produce power
ful effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. by
their aperient action they grippe much loss
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inAamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither oalotnel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

In some of the mining villages of
Eevada and Idaho woman of any
kind is as much a curiosity as a
pretty girl is said to be in the land
OF the HOttentots. From the day
MOOre's Flat was founded until
about the middle of last month it
was entirely without representatives
of the sex to which the pick and pan
are strangers. Last fall, however,
Michael Sullivan, one of the miners,
declared that he was altogether dead
and buried without the girls, and
being strengthened by his fellows
he wrote to his "swateheart" in
Ireland to please bring herself over
The girl undertook the journey
alone and one day last month she
arrived at Moor's Flat. Work was
Suspended in the mines and the men
cheered time and again as the girl
walked up &nd down the single
street that they might feast their
eyes. A priest was sent for and
though he had to travel many miles
over the mountains he arrived at
Moore's Flat that evening in time
to marry the couple. After the
ceremony Sullivan and his bride
were carried in the arms of the
laughing crowd to the public house
and there the festival was prolonged
until broad daylight.

s1cNAr1RE OLE THE CROSS.

The mark which persons who are I'M
able to write are required to make in
stead of their signatures, is in the form
of a cross; and this practice, having
formerly been followed by kings and
mobiles, is constantly referred to as an
instance of the deplOrable Ignorance OF
ancient times. This signature is not,
however, invariably pIOof%of such ig-
norance. Anciently the use of the mark
was not confined to illiterate persons;
for among the Saxons the mark of the
cross, as an attestation of the good faith
of The persons signing, was required to
be attached to the signature OF those
" no could write, as well as to stand IN
the place of the signature of those who
could not write. In those times, II q
man could write, or even read, MS
knowledge was considered proof pre-
sumptive that he was in holy orders.
The Glorious, or clerk, was synonymous
with penman; and the laity, or people
who were not clerks, did not feel any
urgent necessity for the use of letters.
The ancient nse of the croSsRwas there
fore universal, alike by those who could
and those who could not write: it was
indeed the symbol of an oath, from its
sacred associations, as well as the mark
generally adopted. Hence the origin Of
the expression "God save the mark, +"
as form of ejaculation approaching
the character of an oath.

UNCLE SAM.

Immediately after the declaration of
war with England, 1912, Ebert Auder-
son, of New York, then a contractor,
visited Troy, where he purchased a
large quantity of provisions. The in
spectors of the articles at that place
were Ebcnezer and Samuel Wilson. The
latter gentleman universally known as
"Uncle Sam") generally superintendent
in person large number of workmen,
who, on this occasion, were employed
in overhauling the provisions purchased
by the contractor. The casks were
marked &c A.-U. s." Their inspec-
ton fell to the lot of facetiOus fellow,
who, on being asked the meaning of
the mark, said he did not know, unless
it meant Ebert Anderson and Uncle Sam,
alluding to Uncle Sam Wilson. The joke
took among the workmen, and passed
currently; and "Uncle SAM" when
present, was often rallied by them on
the increasing extent of his possessions

THE DOLLAR MARK, s.

Writers are not agreed as to the de-
rivation of this sign to represent dollars.
Some say that it comes from the lette rs
U. s., which, after the adoption of the
Federal Constitution, wers prefixed to
the Federal currency, and which after
wards, in the hurry of writing, were
run into one another, the q being made
first and the S over it. Others say that
it is derived from the contraction of the
Spanish word pesos, dollars; others, from
the Spanish. fuertes. hard, to distinguish
silver from paper money. The more
plausible explanation is that 1t is mod
ifcation of the figure 8, and denotes q
piece of eight reals, or, as the dollar
was formerly called, piece Of eight. 1t
was then designated by the figures SO.

A bill was recently introduced in
Congress pensioning all the widows
of deceased Presidents. This would
of course apply to Mrs. Polk, the
only relict OF a President who has
never received Congressional legis-
lation. The Nashville American, in
warmly supporting the justice ofthe
bill, corrects report recently pub
lished in several of the Northern
papers, to the effect that the widow
of President Polk was very wealthy.
Mrs. Polk has a home, left to her by
her husband, in trust to the State OF
Tennessee, but she has not the means
to keep it up, as the late war de-
prived her of an income from "a plan
tation. The recent decision of the
Supreme Court has materially de-
preciated the value of the few Ten
nessee State bonds held by Mrs.
Polk, and she has lived out all other
means. On the score of necessity,
therefore, the case of this venerable
lady makes a strong appeal for Con-
gressional consideration, although
the bill was introduced without her
solicitation or even knowledge.

RESULTS OF THE CHANGE IN
THE STYLE.

The following happily-conceived adj
dress to the patrons of Poor Jobs Al
manac" was occasioned by the change
of the style in 1852. The number of
that year bears the title
Poor JOB, 1852. By JOB Shepherd, phil
ON. Nerport Printed by James Frank
LIN, at the Printing-c1Sce under the 1oter
ScAoOL-hOuse. In this almanac the month
of September has, in the margin, the
figures of the successive days, COM
mencing /, 2; and, after leaving blank
a space for eleven days, recommending
with IA, and continuing to the 30th.
KIND READER:-You have now such
O year as you never saw before, nor will
see hereafter, the King and Parliament
of Great Britain having thought prop
err to enact that the month of 8eptem-
Der, 1852, shall contain but nineteen
DAYS, which will shorten this year eleven
days, and have extended the same
throughout the British dominions; SO
that we are not to have two beginnings
to our years, but the hrst of January is
to be the first day and the first month OF
the year 1852; eleven days are taken
from Septamber, and begin /, 2, IA, 10,
&C. Be not astonished, nor look with
concern, dear reader, at such deduc-
ton of days, nor regret as for the loss
of so much time; but take this for your
consolation, that your expenses VIII
perhaps appear lighter, and your mind
| be more at ease And what an indul-
gence is here for those who love their
| pillows, to lie down in peace on the
second of this month, and not perhaps
awake or be disturbed till the four
| teenth, in the morning And, reader,
this is not to hasten the payment OF
debts, freedom of apprentices or serv'
ants, or the coming to age of minors;
but the number of natural days IN all
! agreements are to be fulfilled. ALI
Church holidays and Courts are to be
ON the same nominal days they were
before; but fairs, after the second OF
September, alter the nominal days, and
so seemed to be held eleven days later.
Now, reader, since tits likely you may
never have such another year ner such
another almanac, would advise you to
improve the one for your own sake, and
| recommend the other for the sake OF
your friend. PooR JOB

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. IN THE
SOUTH
Chattanooga TrAdesms

Chattanooga TrAdegman.
Pig Iron Kelley is laying fiattering
JUNCTION to his soul that the South is
ripe for protection. II the South has
her eyes open and is alive to her real
Interests Pig Iron is doomed to disap-
pointment. All that protection can do
for the South is 10 foster formidable RE
Valry to her cotton manufacturing in
terests both in Old and New England
Savannah NeU1.
Senator Brown, Representative
Stephens and several other states
men of Georgia are protectionists.
The entire press of the State has
grown soft and yielding on the is
sue, and none but here and there a
fossil among them is for the Waiter
son tariff for revenue only. There
has been a sweeping modification of
Southern sentiment on the subject
of protection within the last four
years, and the change has been pre-
cisely in the direction Mr.. Kelley
indicates.
If it were worth while to reason
with such wooden image we might
call the attention of the fossilized
intellect of the NepS to the tact that
England does not but would like to
sell cotton goods in this country,
whereas a considerable amount of
the products of American mills is
sold over shop counters in London,
Liverpool and Manchester. The
said ancient brain-pan probably
don't know that the South has built
all it has of cotton mills under the
policy of protection, and is doing
reasonably we'll, Notwithstanding
this alleged "rivalry'' with her, fos-
tered by the tariff. Augusta fac
tory stock, 1854; Graniteville, $164
and none offered; Langley, S175i
Enterprise, a new concern, just
ready to begin, $110; Eagle and
| Phoenix, $145; Wesson, sl75; Mus.
cogee, $1O5. These ought to salts
fly reasonable man that the South
is doing pretty we'll IN the cotton
goods line. Then millions more are
being raised by our own citizens
and still more coming from abroad
to be embarked in new mills in
South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi
| Tennessee, and other Southern
States. In fact, Southern cotton
mill, properly managed, is steady.
producing-through good times and
bad-bonanza for its owners. Trion,
Wesson, Eagle and Phoenix, Angus
ia, Graniteville, Langley, and other
of large Southern factories made
"piles of money" from 1873 right up
to the arrival of the late business
boom, never falling to declare round
dividends, and lay aside ample re-
serves for extensions and improve
ments.
1t is easy to let fly such loose gen.
ordinations as this we quote from
the Savannah NeUs, and equally
easy for an intelligent man to run
over in his mind the facts that
place such assertions in the catego-
ry of ridiculous absurdity. Since
the Southern men of means have
turned their attention from planting
to the study and management of in
dustries they cannot be fooled by
the antique slang current and eff
fective forty or fifty years ago.
Hence Mr.. Kelley's ''find" of strong
protective views among leading pol
iticians of this section.
