SAVED BY AN UNKNOWN.

From Drowning.

An Exciting Scene in the Surf at Long
BraHch-A Beautiful Girl Saved
From Drowning.
From the Philadelphia Times.
The loungerS on the beach vest =
day afternoon were startled by the
agonizing cry: Help! Help! I'm
sinklngp The sound came from Miss
Millicent Meta, the belle of the
Branch, a beautiful girl of
eighteen, and belonging to one of
the most fashionable families of Gin
cinnati. A few minutes before she
had been performing some expert
featS of swimming, to the great adj
miration of the thr ong on the beach.
AS she disappeared beneath the waves
overcome by sudden weakness, a
young man on the beach, dressed IN a
bathing suit, plunged into the surf
and swan rapidly toward the drown
ing girl. On reaching the spot where
she had had sunk, he dived down and
soon reappeared with her clasped
in his arms. She was still conscious
and with great presence of mind
clutched him by the left arm and left
his right arm free to work toward the
shore. Many times the brave fellow
and his tair burden were submerged
by the giant breakers, but after long
struggle he came near enough to the
beach for assistance to be rendered
and they were helped upon the beach.
During the excitement attending
the rescue the young man disappeared
and all attempts to discover his iden-
tity have proved fruitless.
Not a Conventional %vadd;no cor,,an+
From the Paducah Kentucky Standard.
Last Saturday night after our wor-
thy county judge had retired to his
downy couch, he was awakened by a
loud "hallo" at his gate. Stepping to
might be called dressing gown, only
costed by sable individual with the
question: "Is dis ERE whar de coun-
ty judge lives?" Being answered
atfirmatively, the man said: "Well,
boss, ere am a couple what wants to
git spliced, mought you do de job p,
Our ever accommodating judge was,
of course, willing, and seeing that
the "king's business required haste"
he did not take time to change his
apparel, but walked to his office ar
rayed in his pont1fic robe, and in that
state "joined two hearts that beat in
unison" as it were, the grinning pair
preserving dignity. The contrast be-
tween the parties was great-the
judge in his long robe, and the pair, of
whom it is averred, that they were SO
black that the night was sunshiny by
contrast. Albeit, the county judge,
''spliced" the happy pair, and they
went on their way rejoicing.

The Month of Roses, with its soft
breezes, its budding blossoms and its
delicious perfumes, is sometimes apt
to lull your prudence into forgetful-
ness. Sudden changes of temperature
especially at night, necessisate some
care and caution, from which you can
hardly depart without experiencing
some indisposition and often serious
illness. In such cases Ponds Extract

From the New York Daily World.
MIR. G. w. Gable, the author of
Creole Days." was at one time en-
ployed on the New Orleans Picay
and was requested to criticise a play.
He said it was against his religious
principles to do so and left the paper.
Since that time Mr.. Cable has been
made the pet of literary clique in
the north, and now he is going to
write moral play for production at
Madison Square. All of which shows
how mans conscientious scruples
become modified under proper in
fluences.

HER HUSBAND MAKES A CONFESSION.
DR.. w. J. Gibbon, of Clarendon, Ark, does
quite large practice and stands high as medi-
cal gentleman. His wife's lingering condition
became so well known, that a reporter accosted
him on the streets of Memphis, one day, when
the following dialogue was had
"Doctor, am glad to learn that your wife
has regained her health after several years of
misery and suffering"
+ =" Yes, sir, she is nav quite restored to health
to the great establishment of myself and all who
knew her."
Have you any objection to telling me her
complaint and the remedy :"
None in the least. She labored under an
affection peculiar to the sex, attended with loss
ofaPpetite, emaciation, prostration, impaired Sc
cretions, cold extremitics, Mysteries, constant
headache, extreme nervousness, and was bed
ridden over three years. My skill and that of
other physicians was exhausted and she was
given up to die. Some one mailed me the Formulas
for DR.. Dromgoole's English Female Bitters.
1procured few bottles and placed her upon its
use, and it cared her like magic. 1t is won
derful medicine, and I take pleasure in recon-
mending it to all women who need tonic or

Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1884-09-19

The eyes of the managers of both the
great political parties are turned anxi-
ously towards Ohio and West Virginia.
The Republicans, on account OF their sue
cess in Maine, feel a greater degree Of
confidence than they did some time ago,
and they are, therefore, showing increased
activity. At one time they were
seriously alarmed about Ohio, and
the Republican leaders in that
State made frantic appeals for
help. Their appeals were heard and
granted. and the State is now OverTun by
the best speakers that the party can tur-
nish, and the cash box Is by no means
empty. There is equal activity among
the Democrats. They have been doing
effective work since the beginning of the
campaign, and are now making extraor
binary exertions for success. OF course
they are fighting against great odds, be-
cause the State is classed as Republican.
Various causes are operating, however,
in such a way as to justify them in think
ing that they can place it in the Demo-
cratic column.
The struggle between the two parties
has assumed a bitter tone. The Demo-
Gratis are aggressive because they feel
that they have an excellent chance of
winning a victory, and the Republicans
are irritable and sulky because the out
look for them is not as promising as they
would like to have it.
In West Virginia the campaign is being
pushed by both parties with extraordina-
~ vigor. The State is Democratic, and
there isn't much doubt that the Demo-
Gratis viii carry it in October and Novem-
Der. Because Blaine has some coal mines
in the State, however, and because his
chief manager, Elkins, has a cottage
there, the Republicans seem to think that
they have a claim on the State that ought
not to be ignored. Their real purpose is,
however, to get West Virginia for the
effect victory there viii have on other
States at the November election. 1t is
not probable that their scheme will sue
coed. The Democratic managers do not
intend that West Virginia shall slip away
from them.
