An old journal tells the following on
the question of sleepers;

tale fixed to ye end of a long staff
wherewith he may brush We faces of
them ye will have napps in time of

A phase of slavery OF the olden
times of 40 years ago is told in the
autobiography of Senator Ben Hill, of
Georgia, who died not long since.

raised nine children-iust the num-

cooks children from birth was assign

From our childhood we played to-
gether, worked together, and would
fight for each other against all the
world Stronger ties than these

large and small, left her by her faith
er, who died when she was an infant. |
We thus began life with eight slaves |
When my father and mother died the
slaves selected their owner among
the children, and L had to take two
more who would go with no other
child, and paid for them. "NIy wife
had one other brother left an orphan
with her. He married several years
after we did, and determined not to
keep his slaves. They were not will

slaves l was a professional man
living in town and did not need them.

The result was 1 bought some land
near the town and moved on it with

The slaves increased and married

This is what the Philadelphia Rec
ord says about freckles; Freckles are
either the result of exposure to sun
shine or are constitutional and per
manent. In the former case they
will disappear by the avoidance of
the exciting cause. The latter class
are caused by an excess of iron in the

points under the skin. 1t is difficult
to eradicate these. The juice of
chickweed, diluted with three times
the quantity of soft water, may be
used as a lotion, bathing the face for
