Tired All Over,
What Rested and Refreshed a
weary man in Memphis.

'ENo, it never amounted to acute main.
but continued to be dull weary ache in
the small of my back" writes Mr.. james
Thomas, of No. SO Madison street, Mem
phis, Tenn. This was an old experience.
and life became dull music. / was tired ali
over, with pain in the lower limbs, and a
habit of lying awake of nights. Recently
tried one of BENSON'S CAPCINE PO-
ROUS PLASTElSS and was decidedly re-
lieved within twenty-four hours. 1t may
have been Providence that did the work
by agents, and among them Benson's plas-
tiers ranks first as an external remedy. 1t
acts quickly in relief and healing, and rem
ders life better worth living. Price 25 cts.
Look in the middle of the plaster for the
word CAPOINE. Ask your physician
about it. Seabury d Johnson. Chemists,

The Cuthbert Appeal in speak
ing of the corn crop of Randolph
county sends this cheering mes
sage abroad;
ave are glad to state, as the
opinion of nearly every farmer
with whom we have conversed,
that better crop of corn has not
been raised in Randolph since the
war than stands to day matured
in the fields"
The above is certainly very
cheering. and we congratulate our
good friends over the line upon
their good fortune. While Ter
rell has not been so fortunate as
good old Randolph, she will, never
theless, have plenty and to spare.

In these days Of civilization and
advancement, for a city govern
ment to be without the means of
protection from the fearful inroads
of fire, is absolutely appalling to
think about. We dare say there
is not town in Georgia Of equal
size to Dawson that has so little
protection in this regard. Gen
tlemen, something ought to be
done, and that quickly, too.

 The steamer Doneu, of the Bremen line, reached this port yesterday morning after a thirteen days passage from Southampton. She had on board 356 passengers who had been exposed to imminent peril from fire which broke out in the cargo on Wednesday last from some undiscovered cause, but which was extinguished with no damage to human life. The narrative of the occur the following shape:
 It was near midnight on Wednesday and the passengers had nearly all retired to their berths when smell of burning material be- gan to pervade the cabin. The watch also noticed smoke curling up through the tim bers, and by the time the carpenter had been summoned and set to work hunting up the cause of it a volume was rolling through the passapes below deck. For while it was difficult to locate the fire. The smoke was issuing from several vents, but soon it came pouring up through the ventilating shaft running to the steerage deck, and then the carpenter found that it came from 8 com pertinent where the cargo was stored. The alarm was at once given, but extreme caution had to be used. There were 356 passengers on the vessel Some were in the cabins, but the steerage was fairly filled with immigrants, mostly Hungarian peasants, unused to the sea and liable to take fright and precipitate a panic. They were mostly asleep. But soon the smoke would fill their cabin, and in the

] No harder or more important task falls to the lot of a Speaker than the making of
 committees. All the members want good places, politicians and lobbyists want good places for their men, and there is tremen- dous amount of pressure of various kinds
 brought to bear on the Speaker during the brief time allowed him for making his ap- po1ntments. Considering the circumstances | it is surprising that Speakers do as well as they do in this matter. Speaker Pine has
 been subjected to the usual stpulling and hauling" but he has come out of the con- test triumphantly. He has constructed the committees with skill and discretion. The Judiciary committee has for it's chairman MT. Robbins of Wethersfeld, who would have made strong candidate for Speaker had he been pressed for the place. Mir. Downes of Derby is also amember of this com mittee, as is also MT. Wright of Branford, who will do good work. MT. Simonds of Canton, who ran for Speaker, is chairman of the inn portant Railroad committee, MT. Geib of Stamford is chairman of the Insurance con- mittee, MT. Catlin of Stratford is at the head of the Committee on Banks, and MT. Cowles of Nerwalk at the head of the Committee on Interpretations. All these gentlemen are well fitted for the places to which they have been assigned.
 The Democrats of the House have no cause for complaint concerning the manner in which they have been treated by Speaker Pine. MT. Bradley, of Orange, Is chairman of the Committee on Roads and Bridges. Mir.

A singular suit has been brought in the Common Pleas court at Providence, Rhode Island. Frank Manton and others have sued Charles A. Cooke to recover the amount of S1O2 for the rental of portion of tomb in Manton cemetery. The body of Cooke's wife was placed in the tomb in October, 1865. MT. Cooke entered into an agreement with the superintendent of the cemetery whereby he was to pay the sum of fifty cents per month for the use of the tomb, and about the 1st of June, 1881, bill was presented to him covering the period since 1865. The defendant refused to pay the bill, declaring that his wife's remains had been removed from the tomb six years previous, and refusing to meet the demand until the body was found. The bill was presented once or twice afterward, and as Cooke had determined to adhere to his resolution, the cemetery corporation con- cluded to bring the action in court. It is ex- pected that some interesting developments will appear in the course of the trial.

Mayor Low of Brooklyn has been looking into the problem of excise laws as applied to the actual conditions prevailing in our great cities, and as a result of his investigation fa- vors trial of the Swedish plan-the divis ion of the city into excise districts, the fix ing of the number of saloons in each district by law, and then the suctioning of licenses to the highest bidders. '.In this way" he says, s'the interest of the licensee is made to lie in enforcing the law, because he pays for his license large sum. Incidentally, the city also receives for licenses what they are worth. I believe this system to be the goal toward which legislation ought to tend" The American Mdchiaist prints letters from over forty establishments engaged in manu- featuring machinery, engines, boilers, tools and machinists' supplies, representing several States, which tend to show that 1882 was signally prosperous year, and that confidence in trade for the present year is not lacking. Taken as whole, however, prices of ma chinery and tools are lower than they were last January, and the tendency is toward closer competition. Iron and other materi- als that enter into machine construction are
  lower than in January, 1882, but as rule wages of frst-class mechanics have not de- clined.
