Printers Errors.

In this little world of ours there are
great many ''smart Alecks' who think
it is one of the cunningest things in the
world to light upon an error IN PRINT
and to blazen it to all whom they meet.
1t is not an uncommon thing, either. for
publishers of newspapers to receive
marked copies of their journals, where
every error is marked out by some fell
low who has taken time to read them
over two or three times to make sure he
has not missed any; and perhaps these
will be accompanied by a letter asking
for situation as proof-reader.. The
following from the London Printing
Times and Litbogrdpher, may be of in
terest to those individuals who are so
anxious to find an error in print, and is
published for the especial benefit of the
author of a communication wherein the
writer referred to an error which ap-
peared in our paper few days since.
"Probably one of the worst business

Those of lawyer lie in dark boxes and

ignoramus spells over the work of the
printer. Fellows who would find it i'm
possible to put twenty letters together

a gentleman presumably writes the
Pittsburg Dispatch that ''poker" was
unknown to US before the Mexican war.
Our troops found that people used diff
ferent cards from ours, the pack con-
tanning only forty, the eights, mines and
tens being out. The universal game
among them was called ''conquian."
The gamblers who went with the
army from Natchez to Vicksburg
changed the game to suit themselves and
our different style of cards, as well as to
admit of betting above the fixed stakes.
The new game spread through the army
rapidly. and on its return to the United
States the game met with universal
favor from Memphis south, but in no
place more than in Natchez and Vicks-
burg, the great gambling resorts of the
country at that time.
The game, however, was not brought
to its present perfection till about 1858,
when it was at Natchez and spread by
the steamboats, to every spot in the
Mississippi Valley, and then to the
West and the East.

Fashinnis Last Ereak

New York society, SO it is written has
decided that when agentleman and lady
meet on the street the one who first sees
the other should bow. The old rule that
the gentleman should wait for the recog-
milton of the lady, is declared obsolete.
The lady, however, still retains the priv
ilege of not noticing the gentleman if
she feels so inclined, that is, after he has
taken off his hat, she may cut him if she
wants to. Well, perhaps it is the best
plan. Under the old usage, the gentle
man could never be satisfied when a
lady passed him without recognition
whether she intended cut or merely did
not see him. By this improvement he
will be left in no sort of doubt. Still, it
must be jolly, after bowling, to have the
fair dame pass on with a blank stare,
especially if crowd of fellows are look
ing, and that would be certain to be the
ituation.-Progress.

A Hoo Story.

Says the Salisbury Aavertise,: '"The
most remarkable occurrence we ever
heard in connection with hogs has hap
pened to one belonging to Mr. J. Shelby
Goslee, near Delmar. 1t was large
animal and very fat, weighing at least
900 pounds. About the last Of Novem-
Der Mr. Goslee noticed that it had stop
ped eating. For two weeks it ate moth
ing and then seemed to recover its
health. About that time small crack
in its skin was observed along the side.
Then similar one appeared on the
other side, and then one on its neck.
These cracks extended gradually, and
the skin appeared to be getting loose.
The process continued until about
week ago, when on going to the pen,
Mr.. Goslee was astonished to find the
skin lying in one place and the hog,
alive and well, in another. An inch of
fat was still adhering to the cast-off
coat, and the whole weighed thirty-three
pounds. The skin on the legs and
head remained on the hog. The ami
NAL is now in excellent health, and q
new skin is beginning to form"

Ague Cure

Is q purely vegetable bitter and power
full tonic, and is warranted a speedy and
certain cure for Fever and Ague, ChiIlS
and Fever, Intermittont or Chill Fe-
YER. Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague,
Periodical or Bilious Fever, and all
malarial disorders. In miasmatic dis
tricts, the rapid pulse, coated tongue, thirst,
lassitude, loss of appetite, pain in the back
and loins, and coldness of the spine and
eXtremities, are only premonitions OF
severer symptoms, which terminate in the
ague paroxysm, succeeded by high fever
and profuse persplratlon.
It is startling fact, that quinine, arse
mic and other poisonous minerals, form the
basis of most of the Fewer and Ague
Preparations" 4" =" Specifies" "Syrups," and
"Tonics," in the market. The prepara-
tions made from these mineral poisons,
although they are palatable, and may
break the chill, do not cure, but leave the
malarial and their own drug poison in
the system, producing quinism, dizziness,
ringing in the ears, headache, vertigo, and
other disorders more formidable than the
disease they were intended to cure.
AYERS AGUE CURE thoroughly eradicates
these noxous poisons from the system,
and always cures the severest cases. 1t
contains no quinine, mineral, or any thing
that could injure the most delicate pa
tent; and its crowning excellence, above
its certainty to cure, is that it leaves the
system as free from disease as before tho
attack.
For Liver Complaints, AYERS AGUE
CURE, by direct action on the liver and
hillary apparatus. drives out the poisons
which produce these complaints, and stim-
ulates the system to vigorous, healthy
condition.
We warrant it when taken according to
directions.

THE TRADE OUTLOOK,
The Business Of the Country Continues
i'm a Generally Prosperous
Condition.

New YORK, September 28.-R. G. Dun
& Co.'S (of the Mercantile Agency reports
of the marked events Of the past week are
chiefly those relating to the important
failures in the clothing trade, which have
occurred in New York City. These mis-
fortunes can hardly be interpreted as in
dicating an unhealthy state of trade gener-
ally, because they are all more or less di-
rectly traceable to departures from legiti-
mate business principles, the result of out
side speculation and an attempt to bolster
up credits by the interchange of paper,
long after the supposed capital employed
had disappeared or been diverted into out
side channels. The regular business of
the city has been healthy. Sales of dry
goods have been large, the absorption of
stocks indicating a first-rate retail demand
throughout the country. Some large houses
report their sales as being very nearly
equal to those of a year ago, while losses
by bad debts, aside from those arising out
of the recent failures, are remarkably
small. Money continues abundant, al
though confidence has been to some ex.
tent shaken by the recent failures, the
general outlook is not unfavorable. The
grain markets have been active without any
fluctuations, which has rather increased the
| demand for exports. In lard and pro-
visions the market has been unsettled
but better feeling prevails, and prices, as
rule, are somewhat higher. In cotton
there is moderate amount of business
doing, with very slight fluctuations. In
| petroleum there is a fair amount of.busi
ness doing, and the tendency of prices is up
ward. For freights there is greater urgency
for grain tonnage, which has made rates
better in that description. Petroleum
freights are fairly good. In the iron trade

practically unchanged. The trade in gro
ceries is fairly active in most lines. Brown
and refined sugars are improving in prices
and holders are more confident.

THE MAJORS VISION.
Very Important Documents Discovered
Through a Vision I'm Sleep.
One OF the Most Singular Affairs IL is
Possible to Imagine,

The relatives OF the late Sam Dreyfus
have been unable since his death to dis
cover two policies on his life-one in the
Knights OF Honor and the other IN the
Ancient Order of United Workmen.
Search and inquiry utterly failed to fur
nish the least clew to them, and the quest
was about TO be given up, w. en- they were
discovered by Maj. b. X. Pullen Yesterday
evening in the most remarkable manner
THE STORY
is best told in his own words. 81 fell into
a doze after l finished work, he said "and
imagined j was out walking in some nice,
airy place where | met Sam DreyGus all
dressed up in black with beaver hat on.
Hello Sam" said l, 81 thought you
were dead"
'No, am not" he answered.
"Well, anyway" l told him, "you are
the very man | want to see. What have
you done with your insurance policies ?"
81 have them yet. Here they are" and
reaching his hand first into the
''LEFT-HAND POCKET,
then into the right-hand pocket, he pulled
out both policies and handed them over.
Don't give them to me-" said 1, take
them home and give them to your wife"
No" said Sam, ''you take them"
did take them and put them away in
the sheriff7s safe, as l dreamed. The
vision made such deep impression upon
me, that without stopping to wake up
good | ran upstairs to the sheriff's office
and told McLendon to
TAKE A GOOD LOOK
for those papers. He found them with
out the least trouble, and here they are
now, with other valuable papers besides. I"
"Did you put the papers in the safe ?''
was asked.
"No. | never saw them until now.
would never have thought of the safe ex.
cept for the dream"
McLendon, when questioned about the
matter, said he remembered distinctly
having put the papers in the safe, at the
request of deceased, about three months
before his death.

RUDEsIiEIM, September 2S.-Von Schil-
ling's statue of "Germania" was unveiled
to-day in the presence of 100000 people.
The programme as heretofore announced
was carried out without accident. The
following is the text of the Emperor's
speech:
THE SPEECH.
When Providence desires to signify its
will with regard to mighty events upon
the earth, it selects the time, country and
instruments to accomplish its purpose.
The years 1870 and 1871 were time when
such purpose was indicated. Our
threatened Germ any arose in its
love for the fatherland as one man,
and with the princes at the head
stood in arms as the instrument. The
Almighty conducted these arms, after san
culinary conflicts, from victory to victory,
and United Germany takes its place in
the history of the world. Millions OF
hearts have raised their prayers to God
and given Him humble thanks, praising
Him for esteeming us worthy of accom-
plishing His will. Germany to the re-
motest time desires to give constant ex-
preston to this feeling of gratitude. In this
sense the monument standing before us was
erected in the words spoken at the laying
of the foundation stone, words which my
late father, after the wars of liberation Of
1873 to 1915, bequeathed in iron to pos
terity: dedicate this monument ''to the
fallen, memorial; to the living, an ac
acknowledgement; to coming generations, 6
source OF emulation. May God vouchsafe
it."

unveiled the monument. He then shool
