Poverty and Distress,

That poverty which produces the great
est distress is not of the purse but of the
blood. Deprived of its richness it becomes
scant and watery, a condition termed ane-
mia in medical writings. Given this con-
dition, and scofulous swellings and sores,
general and nervous debility, loss of flesh
and appetite, weak lungs, throat disease,
splitting of blood and consumption, are
among the common results. If you are a
sufferer from thin, poor blood employ

How a Lawyer for the Defence Got His
Work In"

Down in an extremely rural district
of Arkansas an old man was arrested
for stealing hog. The proof was pos
tive, and the comt was surprised when
the plea of not guilty was introduced.
Tho lawyer for the defence, q man well
known for his trickery rather than his
ability, seemed particularly DESTROYS of
selecting jury that would not show
partially in decision. The prosecuting
attorney, a young and inexperienced
man, agreed to every juryman selected
by the defence, and the Judge, although
he might have thought that the defence
stepped over the bounds of judicial
courtesy, said nothing. The arguments
were concluded, leaving in the minds
of the people no doubt Jas to the YER
diet, for one of the witnesses, man
whose word no one could dispute, swore
that he saw the defendant when he
stole the animal The jury retired, and
after few moments returned verdict
of not guilty, in exact opposition to the
charge of the court.
When the court adjourned, the judge
approached the lawyer for the defence
and remarked:
Look here, my friend, never heard
of such verdict i cannot, as an i'm
partial dissemination of justice, allow
so lagrant an outrage to be perpetrated
on this community. That man is rs
guilty as Judas, but if you will tell me
the secret OF the acquittal, I'll allow the
verdict to pass"
"You see, Judge, some of the jury
men was rather young and some rather
older"
"Yes, but what does that sgnify"
cit signifies that | run in the old
mans twelve sons on the jury. "--Ltttte

entity of Wrong.

Some people have fashion of confusing
excellent remedies with the large mass of
"patent medicines" and in this they are
guilty of wrong. There are some adver-
tised remedies fully worth all that is asked
for them, and one at least we know of-Hop
Bitters. The writer has had occasion to
use the Bitters in just such climate as we
have most of the year in Bay City, and has
always found them to be tirst.class and re-

A Great Napbtba Fire.

Although theeXisteuce Of the naphtha
springs in the neighborhood of Baku,
Russia, has been known for centuries,
it is only within the last ten years that
measures have been taken for realizing
their production, by using it for light
ing purposes. From one OF the chief
wells the liquid shoots up as from
fountain, and has formed lake four
miles long and one and a quarter wide.
Its depth is, however, only two feet, SO
that in very hot summers it is nearly
dried up.
This enormous sarface of inllamma-
bile LIQUID recently became ignitcd, and
presented an imposing spectacle, the
thick black clouds Of smoke being lifted
up by the lurid glare Of the central col
umn OF flame, which rose to great
height The smoke and heat were such
as to render nearer approach than one
thousand yards distance impracticable.
Suitable means for eXtinguishing the
lire were not at hand, and il was feared
that the conAagration would spread un-
derground in such q manner as to cause
"h NNPipslon' ihlS suppOslllOn leu
many inhabitants OF the immediate Vi
entity TO remove to safer distance.
The quantity Of naphtha on fire was es-
timated at four and half million cubic
feet. The trees and buildings within
three miles distance were covered with
thick SCOT, and this unpleasant deposit
appeared on persons clothes, and even
ON the food in the adjacent houses.
Not only was the naphtha itself burn
ing, but the earth which was saturated
with it was also on fire, and ten large
establishments, founded at great ex-
pense for the development of the trade
in the article were destroyed. The fire
ceased OF itself Unexpectedly, and thus
the fears of . total destruction Of the To-
cal Daphtha industry have been allayed.

ST superior "style," the languid city beauty
surveys the imaginary physical shortcom-
ings OF her rustic female cousin. Yet if
the latter possess finer set of teeth, as she
probably does if she uses Sozodont, and the
metropolitan belle does not, that striking
contrast so much in her favor enables her
to turn the tables with avengence. Pearly
teeth are better than "style.'

Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1882-02-16

A large number of miners and laborers
in the Pennsylvania coal fields have re-
Gently organized a Miners and Laborers
Protective Association, and it is thought
that this is the first step towards the re-
vival of the old Coal Miners Union. A
Wilkesbarre dispatch says of the move
ment that the agitation has reached all
parts OF the coal fields, and there is no
doubt but that in the near future the old
time organization of the miners will be
again completed. A better appreciation
of the importance Of this movement may
be gained when it is stated that the revi-
val of the Miners Union now means an
organized determination to demand high
er wages in the busy days of next sum-
mer or strike. The men assert at pres
ent that they do not mean to strike, but
experience has shown that, with union
in force, controlled by hot headed leaders,
a refusal to concede to the demands of
the miners is always followed by a strike,
with its attendant terrors.

to be the largest ever held, and it is ex-

for the South, and of improving and
elevating the Southern press generally,
will be warmly discussed, and urged, it
is to be hoped, with success. On this
point. while alluding to the approaching
session of the association, the New Or
leans Times Democrat truly s.: -:
There is a steady progress in the
South Just now, and new and wonder

railroads, education and a hundred kin
dred branches, sadly neglected in the
days before the war In such move
ment the press should lead, not follow
1t is able to work immense good to the
people, at the same time that it benefits
and improves itself. What the South
wants now to further its development
to educate its people to the new ideas,
to place it on a par with the rest of the
world, is number of large, widely cir
culated papers, not the mOuthpieces of a
few men, but able and outspOken, giving
all the news, national as well as local,
working for the material and political
prosperity of the country, live and en-
Ierprising, and not preaching the doc
trines exploded by the war.
There are some of these already in
the South. and wherever they are located
at New Orleans, Charleston, Savannah,
Atlanta, Dallas and dozen other towns
prosperity and progress prevail. What
is true of these towns will be said of the
entire South, if the Southern Press Asso-
citation will only go about the work
before it theoretically. Let no paper
fail to send its representative to the
annual meeting on the Goth, and let all
come prepared to transact plenty of
work
'Mr. J. c. Hueston, the manager of
the Associated Press, will be here for
the express purpose of comforting wi h
the gentlemen of the Southern Press
Association, and will doubtless be glad
TO have any and all suggestions that can
be made in regard to an improved news
service"
