There is a constant effort on the part of that
grim monster Disease to become master OF
mortal man. Only careful observance of
natural laws can render his efforts unavailing.
Yet too often injudicious excuses, sudden
changes, too great exposure, improper food
or other abuses of nature open the gateway
and Disease gains a victory. Sometimes its
mastery is so complete that nature of herself
can never effect dislodgment In such in
stances reinforce nature with a jujicious use
of Browns Iron Bitters, and we guarantee in
a short time, all disease will be vanished.

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

1t will be apparent to any one, who will
examine Solid GOLD WATCH, that aside
from the necessary thickness for engraving
and polishing, large proportion of the
precious metal used is needed only to stifJep
and hold the engraved portions in place and
supply the necessary soiidity and strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless so lar
as utility and beauty are concerned. Ia

the most simple nature, as follows: plate

New YORK, August 25.-President
Thomas Of the East Tennessee, Vir.
ginia and Georgia Railroad Company,
said o.daY that he and Director g. S.
Bruce, acting for themselves and for
several of the large stockholders Of
the company, have bought controls
ling interest in the Memphis and
Charleston railroad. They have ac-
quired by private purchase and on the
market about $2,700,000 par value of
the stock. They had been picking up
stock in the market on the declines
and secured to-day the controlling
interest by about 81, $50, 900 par value
at private sale. The total amount
will be held by the syndicate for the
present, and will eventually be
turned over to the East Ten
nessee company, which will hold
it in its treasury together with
about 100000 Of Memphis and
Charleston stock that it has owned for
some time, making it about 81, zoe, 900
in all. The capital of the Memphis
and Charleston is $5,3l2,0O0. Presi-
dent Thomas said that the securities
of the East Tennessee would not be
issued against the purchase or in ex.
change for the stock now acquired.
The stock would simply be held in
block by the East Tennessee company
to solidify and strengthen the relations
between the two companies Mr..
Thomas said the average price paid
for the stock was about 40. The price,
which on Friday rose rapidly to AZ
upon reports that a deal had been
made, declined as quickly to AZ when
the announcement OF the sale was
made. Mr.. Thomas said that the purS
chase included the holdings Of the
large stockholders, such as Mr.. G.
Evans and V.K. Stevenson, of this city,
the stock represented by Jameson
& Co., of Philadelphia, and all who
have expressed themselves as dissatis-
fed with the present lease Of property
to the East Tennessee. The lease is
TO run for twenty years from July,
1877, and provides that the East Ten
nessee shall operate the road and turn
over to the stockholders Of the Mem.
phis and Charleston the balance Of the
net earnings, after paying operating
expenses and fixed charges. Since
the East Tennessee has operated the
road the floating debt has constantly

81, 100000. The road consists of 800
miles between Memphis and Stevenson,
Ala, from which point II runs by
contract over thirty-fve miles of the

of the directors Of the Memphis and

Wednesday, at which il is expected
several members OF the board will re-

East Tennessee men. President Seney,
of the Metropolitan National Bank,
in speaking OF the transaction to day,
said that he had no knowledge of it
until it was completed. 1t was not,
he said, transaction by Seney SYN

and never had been. Mr.. Seney ex-
planned that his business was that of q
banker, and that he did not manage
railroads or syndicates. AS an investor
he put money in some enterprises, but
not in FIVE sixths of the number he
was reported to have invested in. Mr..
Seney objected most decidedly to the
term "Seney syndicate, as incorrectly

crat reporters knock, the door was
opened by an aged oolored woman,
She said that the prognosticator Of
destinies was invisible at present, as
she was engaged taking music lessons.
The reporter was invited to take seat
in the hall. The place is surrounded
BY an air Of mystery, and visitors have
to undergo a searching examination
before they are admitted into the
august presence of the fortune teller.
She is a young colored woman, with
bold features and heavy lips.

She was at my house twice; once

days ago, in company with young

seemed downcast and melancholy.

earthP then laid the cards for her,
and discovered by them that she loved
a dark young man, who was very rich,
She eagerly replied in the affirmative.
and wanted to know if he would be
true to her. | again consulted the
cards. They showed that she could
rely on his promises, and that
be would make her happy. She
seemed so pleased at this that she
clapped her hands in ecstacy. Miss
Mary told me that the object of her
love was a travelling man, He came
Of good family, and his name was
Henry. This is all the name she
would tell me. She further told me
that he came from Philadelphia, where
he was going in a few days. From
there he would remove to New York,
and send for her to get married
When she left she was SO happy that
| almost envied her." 4
Mrs. Smith at first was very reluc-
tant to talk, aud said she feared tC
have her name published in the news
papers. Her customers were mainly
wealthy people, who would lose conf.
dence in her ifshe divulged the secrets
Of the cards.
Most of my patrons are young
