The complicated diseases brought
on BY intense study, thought, care
anxiety, ETC., are often Of the most
serious nature. Heed such symp-
toms as loss of memory, universal
Iassitudc, heart disease, kidney COM
plants, liver troubles and general
breaking down of health and strength.
When thus afflicted, when the least
excrtion causes great fatigue, when
life seems a burden, use the reliable
strengthening tonic Browns Iron
Bitters. 1t will afford you sure
relief.

had not dreamed of such reception.
Piled up around the freight depot
were great mountains of barrels, each
and every barrel filled with chicken
legs shipped from all points of the
globe, including Oshkosh and I{ala-

Running around in the hotel yards

Legacious Boncasious variety. Ra-

Gordonsville, Orange County, Vir-

his whiskers, and was flirting with

Men loved the maid for following their Lord.
And though their love, perchance, was cold

Not like the passions Of more human birth,
It was pure and sacred flame. they sand.
And she was one whom good mon vowed to

And thus abjure the Turing snares of earth,
Alas! as time went on such love grew rare,
Aud with mems favor went her hOnorcd

Fill sneers and coldcontempt became her share
Aud she was fain to hide her head for shame.

And now his sons and hers infest the land.

MISCELLANEOUS.
[Eor the Spirit of Jefferson !
On TIE Wing. .l.

Twenty summers, with their usual
winters. had passed over us since we
had seen GordonsvilIe, Va, and when
business called us there last week, it
brought back memories of the ''pride,
pomp and circumstance of glorious. { y
war"
Just as we glided smoothly, noise
lcssly out of the Washington depot,
an old weather-bcaten gentleman
behind us remarked in very audible
tones to his wife: If she would only
go this sGtt all the time, it would be
nice.''
After while, when we began to
bump, bounce, jump, hop, skip and
jolt around corners and over cross
tics, l realized what the old gentle
man meant.
Having no desire to rail against the
railroad, l would only say that the
rails seem to be used to keep the cars
on the crOss-tics.
We waited for the train at Orange
Courthouse, and it seems to be a
very delightful habit the young ladies
of Orange have, they come down ar
rayed in very fasinating costumes to
meet the mails. rs they come in by
rail. Both in going and returning we
were struck with the fact that the
depot looked like Il female seminary
like Il garden of rare flowers, where
bloomed the sweetest roses of Viz
ginia.
Major Scott, with his military cap
and boots outside of his pantaIoons,
makes Il model conductor, and he is
as courteous and polite as any other
Virginia gentleman all of We oIdcn
time. There is none of the rough
ness and brusQucncss of the modern
conductor about him, none of the
hurry and fuss; he takes your ticket
with a smile, punches it with pleasant
remark and returns it with courtIy
bow. lie waves his hand in n regal
way, and politely requests the engine
to move on lcisureIy. 1t does so.
When within few miles of Cor
louisville, we became conscious of
faint odor, a subtle perfume that
filled the air. How scent will some
times bring back a day that is dead
the perfume of a flower caught in
passing will bring back the memory
of a flower she wore years ago, your
first sweetheart, at your first party.
Her face will come before you, her
voice will sound in your ears, her
tender hand touch yours, all brought
from the dead days by the perfume of
rose. So this faint perfume, steal
ing upon my senses, brought back a
memory that puzzled me. What was
it. Surely not the smell of powder
Then, like flash, recognized it,
1t was the odor of fried chicken legs.
There is nothing like it under the sun,
outside of. the ncighborhood of Cor
louisville. Soon we began to meet
colored women, bearing upon their
turbancd heads immense walters filled
to the very edge with fried chicken
legs.

FAILING TO TRANSFER FREIGHT.

A. d. Strauss & Co, made contract with SeaReT
Brothers agents of several foreign freight steamers
who agreed to carry 600 tierces of lsrd to Europe
ON a certain steamer 81 December, the lard having
been sold then on December deliveries. Strauss
&, Co. delivered the lard upon the order
of Seager Brothers, and TO their surprise were
the pier and had not been shipped. The BUYERS re-
fused to take the goods in January. and Strauss d
Co demanded payment Of 81 900 TO make good their
loss Seager Brothers admitted failure Of contract,
but claimed that they were liable only for the
difference in cost OF freight. 1t is averred that
Seager Brothers had contr cted for more freight
than could be shipped on the steamer. The matter
was referred TO thu Produce Exchange Arbitration
Committee, and they have taken the testimony OF
many merchants in regard TO the matter They will
gIye their decision to-day.
