This medicine was introduced to the
medical profession and to the public at
large by s. b. Hartman, IA. D., in 1877, af.
ter he had prescribed it to over 10000 pa
tients in almost every disease to which
flesh is heir.
1t is wholly composed of numerous veg
etable ingredients, each one of which is
acknowledged by the medical profession
to be the most potent of all the herbal rem
edies known to medical science.
But its great virtue is mainly attributa-
BILE to the new and peculiar proportions in
which the harmonious ingredients are COM
bined, and 10 the extreme care exercised in
its manufacture, using only the pure, active
principles, and excluding all that is crude
or irritating. No one should be without

Bapfizing.

Another baptizing came off near
the Colored Baptist church on Sunday
last. AS we reached the scene just be-
fore the good work began, we edged
our way through the crowd assembled
and took position between two ice
cream carts in the shade of a convenient
thorn tree that we might preserve our
equilibrium while the impressing SER
vice was performed. In few minutes
we were made aware of the approach
of the church's membership and appli-
cants by seeing hundreds of
darkeys leaving the church and strik
ing a trot to get position near the
mudhole which had been converted in
to a pool by having steps at the shall
low end. Immediately following the
hurrying ones came the officiating min
lister and assistants dressed in black, and
the applicants, rendering in thunder
ing tones their stand by" hymn, Lets

"good understanding" on the first step
and gave his hearers the views OF his

after which he and the officiating mem
beers went into the water, the tallest ones
the hole being deeper at the upper
end,-acting as immersers and props for
those being baptized. After getting a
firm footing, the officiate said, ere he
placed his hand on candidate for bap-

or eight applicants one would think
that It could neither last long or very
much interest any one; but the joyous
demonstrations of the femerine gender
as they arose from the watery grave
not only excited the admiration of all
present but outlasted the efforts of
many of those having them under their
watchful care and guidance. AS they
were carried off and the crowd CON-

That Lard.
New York Tribune,

The refusal of Mr.. Peter McGeocll, Of
Chicago, to accept 10000 tierces of lard
WORTH over million dollars, from Fow
Ter brothers, seems likely to develop
into mercantile scandal of large
proportions. Most people will not care
how much the spectators suffer by the
results of the disclosures. But it is not
edifying to hear men who are supposed
to form part of an honorable business
community accusing each other Of sell
ling goods which are not what they are
represented to be. Neither is it appeti-
ling for the public to hear that a firm
which turns out yearly so many pounds
of lard for domestic use adulterates it
between 80 and 40 per cent. Unless the
Chicago Board of Health is appalled, by
the magnitude of the alleged adultera-
ton, perhaps its officers will take
prompt measures to stop this injurious
business.

SUMMER RHYME

The summers sun we now may feel,
Intense, as in its ray,
The heat nnbidden, swift doth steal
Upon us with each day,
The laborer whose work is wrought,
Looks proudly Ger the scene
Where by his effort dearly bought
Stand living fields of green.
His mellow acres rich have grown
To bless him with their mite,
While he can claim a part to own
OF what there is in sight.
It matters not how small his share
In harvest time may be,
Bright promise, for him, still is there
Its fruits he now doth see.
Ee rises with the early morn
To catch the balmy air,
And views his fresh, well laden corn
His cotton prospect fair.
All nature hath for him charm
When in it he can see
The honest labors of mans arm
Rewarded as should be.

tnrned by a gentleman of our parish,
we discovered that he did not describe
his property, but in lien thereof, he
stated that during the high water his
garden was ruined and he lost nearly
ali of his chickens, and that no prop
erty can be of any value where no gar
den or chickens can be raised also,
that the levees are not sufficient for our
nrotection and the levee tax should be
reduced, or the levees kept up. He gave
s3. 90 as the value of his land, improve

for $500, but returned the list without

New Church.

A new denomination has not only
sprung up in our midst but has estab-
lished itself on a firm footing. That
persistent colored evangelist, familiar
ly known as "Tom Green,n in the east
ern part of town, has, after series of
revivals or rrotracted prayer-meetings
of two or three years. duration, sue
ceeded, with the assistance of Rev. Mr..
Jules Brooks and others, in raising the
necessary funds for erecting church
building for the use of the
"Free Will Colored Missionary Bap-
tists," over which the last named emf
nent divine will preside as pastor. The
building, which will be situated near
the "old stamping ground" is to be larg-
er than the Colored Methodist church.
We learn that the frame will be raised
to-day. The colored folks of that
locality express themselves as highly
pleased with the project and hope soon
to hear preaching with less walking and
paying for it. Churches are getting so
thick over there that to hear as many
sermons as one can stand, they will
simply stay at home and raise window.
