A Patent Medicine Paradise,

Ii the negros of the south could read
there would be such demand for patent
medicine, porusplasters, pills and stom-
ach bitters as would force every manu-
facturer to double his help and capacity.
The negro is always ailing. No matter
how healthy he looks or how strong he
seems, he believes himself afflicted. If
he could read almanacs and circulars he
would think so twice as strongly.
A Dalton, Ga, saw big fellow pick
up barrel of -four as easily as could
have lifted a twenty-five pound sack, and
when / complmented him on his strength
he replied:
''Yes, boss, / seems powerful strong,
but you doan' know what hard time L
has of. lie got iber complaint, dispep-
STA and consumpshun, an I reckon [
won't neber see snow fly agin."
/ asked him what remedies he had
been using, and he replied that he had
been taking the dust of burnt leather
and mixing it with cold tea. Nothing
whatever allied him, but if he could have
got hold of ten dollars he would have
used eight of it in buying medicines.

when man came in with a bottle of

colored men employed about the stable,
who hadn't lost day for years and who
looked as rugged as a mountain, looked
at the bottle three or four times and
then asked:
"What ye got dar, Kurnel?"
Something for apoplexy," was the
reply.

EInafinn Mills

The floating grain mills on the Dan
ube, in Austria, are its most curious
feature. Fancy two canal boats moored
about Is or 20 feet apart, and support
ing between them the crank of a gigantic
mill wheel, turned by the current of the
stream. Fancy, moreover, the sides OF
one of these boats carried up one story
higher than the other, then rooted over,
la Noah's ark, with windows aid
doors as needed. aud you will have a
fair idea of these Danube grain mills,
some 1000 to 5000 of which, IN groops
of 10 or II together, are scattered along
this highway all the way from Vienna to
Belgium. Each mill Is inscribed with
it's owners name.

OCTOBER.
BIZ HELEN FIsKE JACKSON.

0 suns and skies and clouds of Juna,
And flowers of June together,
Ye cannot rival for one hour
October's bright blue weather;
When loud the bumblebee makes haste.
Belated, thriftlese vagrant;
And golden-rod is dying fast;
And lanes with grapes are fragrant:
When gentians roll their fringes tight
To save them for the morning,
And chestnuts fall from satin burrs
Without sound of warming;
When on the ground the apples lie
In piles, like jewels shining
And redder still on old stone walls
Are leaves of woodbine tw;ning:
When all the lovely wayside things
Their white-winged seeds are sowing,
And in the fields, still green and fair,
Late after-maths are growing
When springs run low, and on the brooks,
In idle golden freighting,
Bright leaves sink nCiseless in the hush
Of woods for winter waiting;
When comrades seek sweet country haunts,
By twos and twos together,
And count like misers, hour by hour,
October's bright blue weather.
o suns and skies and flowers of June,
Count all your boasts together,
Love loveth best of all the year
October's bright blue weather.

DIED Friday night, February the
3rd., of Typhoid fever, Claudia
daughter of G. r, and Emma Brickey,
aged two years:
Again death has visited our COM
munity and robbed a household of
its cherished idol. For the past six
long weary weeks, there has been a
struggle between life and death, ev-
|erything that love or science could
do to alleviate the little sufferers pain
or check the dread disease that was
wasting her life away, was care fully
done, but all of no avail. for the
bright spirit Of little Claud was borne
away To the Home of that Saviour
who said " Suffer little children to
come unto me, and her body was
consigned TO the earth last Saturday
evening at 3 o'clock. Mourn not
fond parents for your little Claud has
escaped many of the pangs of tins life
which are keener than the darts OF
death.
"lhcre is no death An angel form
| Walks o'er the earth with silent tread,
lie bears away our best loved things,
| And then We call them dead
| And when he sees emile too bright,
Or heart too pure TOR taint and vice,
| lie bears Il to that world Of light
| To dwell In Paradise.

"A thrill ofhorror was expcricnc-
ed by the community last Wedncs-
day, upon the announcement that
little child of Mr.. and Mrs. Avery who
are boarding at the Planters house,
was missing and supposed to have
been drowned in the back-watcr,
The report flew as on the wings of
the wind, and in an incredibly short
space Of time, men, women and chill
dren were wading around and search
ing for the missing child. The moth
er, in the meantime, was almost dis
tracted with grief and despair at the
loss of her little darling, At last Il
little boy going through one OF the
bedrooms Of the hotel, discovered
the child sweetly reposing under
bed where it had crawled. The 10y
of the mother on recovering her babe,
was too much for her already over
strained nerves, and as she clasped
her treasure in her arms, fell fainting
to the floor.
-" Have you seen the Monstros-
ity at DR.. Dunavant's ofiice?" The
above query was proprounded to the
news gatherer of the Times few
days since, and in obedience ito
morbid curiosity, which, owing to our
calling, we possess in high degree
Of cultivation, wended our way to
said Office. In glass jar, carefully
preserved in alcohol, stood the OBJ
ject of our search, which to the un-
tutored mind, presents, indeed, hid

have no conception of the process Of

Thus we might go on and describe
the deformites. and with hundreds
Of others congratulate the mother of

the circumstances OF our export produce
trade should have furnished that guarantee.
For it was clear that this whole trade, or
at least the greater part OF it, was due to
the persistence OF abnormal climatic con-
ditions in Europe; and it was equally
plain that the longer these conditions
lasted the less likely were they to con-
tinue. For it was not credible that Ed
rope had ceased to have good hsrvests per-
manently, and ary one could see that
when she had them again the American
surplus would so a begging. Yet our
gamblers acted precisely as though they
thought their opportunity must last for.
ever, and as though they could afford to
take all manner OF liberties with it. As
regards the decrease in TIE export Of cot
ton, amounting to over seventeen millions,
it appears probable that we must make our
account with having been to that extent
'cut out " by a rival producer. But the
presumption is that this rival or these
rivals viii become stronger every year, and
that they viii cut down our export figures
still further And this is the more likely
to happen because our tariff prevents us
from entering into free competition with
foreign manufacturers abroad. This has
been shown quite unconscIouslyl by
Mr.. Blaine, in his report on the cotton
trade of the country, but it did not require
to be stated, for it is one of the most OBJ
vious facts OF the situation. On the whole
therefore the outlook is not very encourag.
ing, but it shows the necessity Of general
and determined movement for the aboli-
tion, or at least for the radical revision, of
that most ubiquitous, inbecile, suicidal
and inequitable of all possible fiscal ma
chineries, the so-called protective Tariff.

THE ARGUMENTS.

The arguments made thus far in tho pre-.
gress of the conclusion of the remarkable
trial popularity known as the debris
Cease, have attracted deserved attention
for their depth, breadth of scope, and the
exhaustive character of the debate. These
arguments, on both sides, have been i'm
partially presented in the RECORD. UNION
from day to day in synoptical form.
Their great length mono having taken less
than six hours in delivery renders this
form of presentation much the more &C.
ceptable to the general public. These
synopses, extended as they are, are made
as the arguments proceed, by skilled de-
tail from the regular repUtorial corps of
the RECORD UNION, and at the conclusion
of each sitting of the Court are com.
plete and ready for the compositor In no
instance have they either been furnished
by, revised, or even seen by the attorneys
SO reported 1t IS simply justice to add
that these synopses, preserving as they do
clearly all the points made, and much of
the elaboration. are highly regarded by the
attorneys in the case. The RECORD
UNION, by the way, is the only paper that
has published any report of the arguments
in this great case.
