DAWSON, Sept. End, '84.

The citizens of the town are be-
ginning to realize that frst-class
military company is necessity in
Dawson, and some are subscribing
quite literally toward buying
uniforms for the boys. Two hun
dred and fifty dollars have already
been subscribed, one or two citi-
zens giving as much as seventy
five dollars each. There will pro-
badly be enough money raised
among citizens to purchase uni
forms for the entire company.

The Mosquitoes Machinery,

A writer in the London Sports
man thus describes a mosquito as
seen under microscope; 1t
appears that in the "bill' of
the little beast alone there
are no fewer than 5 distinct surgical
Instruments. These are described as
lance, two neat saws, a suction
pump, and a small Corliss engine.
1t appears that when a "skeeter"
settles down to his work upon nice
tender portion of the human frame,
the lance is first pushed into the flesh
then the two saws, placed back to
back, begin to work up and down to
enlarge the hole, then the pump is
inserted, and the victims blood is
siphoned up to the reservoir carried
behind and finally, to complete cruel
ty of the performances, the wretch
drops quantity of poison into the
wound to keep it iritated. The
diminutive flend takes a fly around
just to digest your gore, and makes
tracks for a fresh victim, or if the
first has been of unusual good quail
ty he returns to the same happy
hunting ground. The mosquitoes

his portable operating chest, makes
him at once a terror and a pest

The Society Column"
Lonlsyille Commercial.

Louisville Commercial.
1t was only eight or ten years ago
that what is called the "society COL
umn" of American newspapers was
established. 1t was intended to
chronicle the coming and going of
persons well know in society, whose
movements were of interest to many
others, who, like themselvs, possessed
leisure, wealth and cultivation
enough to make the pursuit of social
pleasures part of the occupation of
life. 1t became in due time very
popular department of the newspa-
per. 1t is not only that people like
to see their names pleasantly in PRINT,
but there is decided value in the
society column just as there is in the
market reports. AS the merchant
finds in the latter all the fluctuations
in prices of the goods he sells, so the
reader III society finds in the former
all the changes in the social circle,
the newcomers to reside, the visitors,
the absentees and what they are all
doing. Those persons who affect not
to like what they are pleased to term
newspaper notoriety" are mere hy-
pocrites.
There is no "notoriety" in a pleas
ant photographic mention, and If the
column is edited with discrimination
and taste it is like the social chat one
hears at the clubs or in the drawings
rooms. Of course, there are timos
when awkward things creep in, just
as people say awkward things in So
cicty, and occasionally shoddy and
pretentions people succeed in using
it to advertise themselves into an ap-
parent prominence which they do not
possess. These things are the imper-
fections that exist in everything and
can only be eliminated by the slow
development and elevation of the des
partment.

Arsenic Pills by the Pint.

j. A. Small, a Gainesville, Ga,
merchant, says; "For years | was a
victim to the combinad effects of Ery-
sipelas and an aggravated type of
Eczema, that baffied all medical skill.
| consulted the very best physicians
in the United States to no good pur-
pose. l gave every patent medicine
that was recommended a faithful tri-
al and received no benefit l took
large quantities of potash and a pint
cup full of arsenic pills. The patent
medicine, pills, and potash mixtures
fed instead Of curing the disease.
They destroyed my appetite and
wrecked my system-I lost flesh and
energy-I lost three years from my
business and spent $1,000 in a fruit
less effort to gain my health. AT last,
when began to consider my case
hopeless, l commenced taking S. S. S.,
and ip short time, L was entirely
cured. | waited year after cure
was effected, and continued to take
Swift's Specific off and on as a sort of
safeguard, before 1 was willing to

who had been in the days gone by as
an angel Of mercy TO him.
He was convicted and sentenced at
the next term of the court. His man.
ners and appearance were so pleasant
that he captured the hearts of his jail
lers, and was permitted more favors
than any other prisoner; in fact, act
ing sort of assistant iailer. He
was pardoned in 1851 by the Govern
or on condition that he would leave
the State and never return. The
man l met at Middletown, o., who
belonged TO Quantrell's command,
said that Quantrell told him he had
been married six times, and "always
to pretty women of good families" +"
and he laughingly added, 81 believe
they are all living now" This was
in 1864. lie said also, that Quantfell
asked him TO guess his age, for he
was still ayoung looking man, not
looking over thirty-fve at the most,
and he said: ~ never tell my age ;
but you have not come within ten
years of it."
Even during the time he was com
miting some horrible atrocities, in
his moments Of leisure he would en-
joy the reading of books and maga-
zines, and was accustomed to borrow
such things from houses near where
he camped, if he dared let his pres
ence be known. Cool and polished
as any gentleman in the land, he was
cruel, crafty and determined, so that
though he commanded the most des-
perate, dissolute set of outlaws evel
collected together, they obeyed his
lightest commands with promptitudc
His only punishment was sudden
death.
