From the Constitution we get the

last wedntslay.
The preliminary trial Of Willis A.
Hawkins, Jr., for killing Weston

to-day before Judge II. l.. Jeffers.
Several witnesses were examined for
the prosecution. The defense only
introduced one, but they had several
in waiting if they had been neeeesa.
ry. Eloquent and exhaustive speech
es were made by Messers. Willis &
Feagin, council for Hawkins, who
used every effort to convince the
judge that the killing was justi6able,
while Messrs. Berney, Caldwell &
Broyles for the prosecution left n0
stone unturned to show that the kill.
ing OF Hardy was murder, pure and
simple. After adducing all the tes-
timonY the Judge decided that,
though Hawkins killed Hardy, the
testimony did not sustain the charge

murder, though he thought it best

A would be witty Republican Con-
gresham has suggested that the only
platform the Democrats can con-
struct is one with trap door in the
center and a beam aud pendant rope
over it. That is not the only kind
the Democrats can construct, but
when they get into power they will
need something of the kind on which
to hang rascally Republican 9th

One of the hardest lessons in life
for young people to learn is TO prac-
tice economy. 1t is a hard duty for
a young man to accumulate aud save
his first $1,000 than his next $10.-
900. A man can be economical
without being mean, and it is one of
his most solemn duties TO lay mp sui
ficient in his days of strength and
prosperity to provide for himselfa and
those who are or may be dependent
upon him in days of sickness or mis-
fortune.

ALBANY News aud Advertiser: The
Atlanta Constitution recently in
dulged in some rather boaslful and
loudsounding remarks about the high
rates it received for space in its ad
vertising columns. The News and
Advertiser has received several appli-
cations for rates for advertisements
from different business concerns in
Atlanta, but, with one or two excep-
tons, we have been unable to secure
the advertisements. The answer in
variably comes back that our rates
are too high-more than the adver
tisers are in the habit OF. paying.
From this it would not appear that
our big Atlanta contemporary has
educated the business men of that
city up to very high appreciation of
newspaper advertising. The same is
also true with reference to Macon ad-
vertiSers. They expect to get rates
far below the reach Of any respec,a-
ble newspaper that has good circu-
latiOn aud does Legitimate business
Our rates are very reasonable-so
reasonable, in fact, that we could not
scale them down and make a living {;
still, We are unable to do any bust
ness with Atlanta and Macon houses.
We have now before us, for instance,
the proposition OF Is prominent At
lanta house to pay US $25 for six
inches space in our regular. adver-
Using columns and a one inch read
ing notice for twelve months. A
prominent Macon dry goods estab-
lishment sends US some local "dodg-
ers" which the want inserted in the
weekly edition of the News and
Advertiser for S. Scents line. OF
course we cannot take advertise
ments at such rates as this bu, the
Atlanta house says it has placad this
advertisement with "some of ~sthe
leading papers Of the state" at the
price offered rs, and the Macon
house writes uS that it has neve.
paid more than 5 cents per line for
locals. We see the same locals in
the Macon Telegraph. and the Allan
ia advertisement in some of our
weekly exchanges. There is some.
thing wrong somewhere, or the cor
respondence which we have had
with the Two concerns referred to,
(which cases are not rare ones, but
are used merely for pointed illustra
tion) together with the appearance
of these advertisements in some of

An Indians Cure for Headache.

Everyone who has been in British
Guiana has heard of the kenaimas,
human and spiritual powers of evil,
who are the bane and terror of the In
dams existence. To counteract the
maleic influence of the kenaimas, each
larger Indian village keeps its peaiman
or medicine-man. One of Mr.. i'm
Thurn's most interesting adventures
was that in which he placed himself in
the hands of a peaiman, who undertook
to cure him of headache, and who, to
Judge from the authors description, had
in him the making of an admirable
spiritualist professor or of o thought
reader. Mr.. i'm Thurn submitted for
six long hours, in hut on the savan-
nah, to the process of "peaing." By
ventriloquism were produced the most
terrible noises, end an extremely clever
imitation of the animals OF Guiana in
whose bodies the kenaimas who had
bestowed the headache were supposed
to Turk. The patient describes him
self as being all the while in sort OF
mesmeric trance, feeling at times the
air driven over his face, @as if some big
winged thing came from afar toward
the house, passed through the roof, and
then settled heavily on the floor; and
again, after an interval, as if the same
winged thing rose and passed away as
it had come" 1t was interesting, even
wonderful; but ne was not cured. He
rushed at last into the open savannah
and "a wild and pitch-dark night" and,
bare-headed, bare-footed, and coat
less" with the lightning flashing now
and then behind the distant mountains,
waited for the dawn. The pealman in
sisted that a cure had been effected,
and demanded payment; and, as he
produced in proof the kenaima, a cater
pillar which had been extracted from

Care Of the Skin.

Nothing is more conducive to clear
skin than the moderate use of mild,
pure toilet soap and rain, not cistern,
water. Cistern water grows hard and
limy by standing in cemented reservoirs,
and thus becomes scarcely less injurious
than originally hard water itself. Pure
water, or milk and water, are the cos
metics par excellence; but although
all sufficient during perfect health, are
most insufficient for the inhabitants of
towns, whose health is rarely perfect,
assailed as it is by heated rooms, i'm
proper diet, and ill-ventilated places of
amusement. 1t is, therefore, necessary
that art should come to the aid of ma
ture, from whom we expect too much.
In the open air, no less than within
doors, in walking, at balls, at the
theater, the skin becomes charged with
impurities, which plain water will not
remove. To cleanse and restore it to
its freshness nothing is better than the
following preparations, used in the
place of soap: almond-meal, pound !;
fine oatmeal, pound; powdered
borax, l ounce; mix thoroughly to-
gether and use in place of soap. 1t is
q mistaken idea of many people that
soap is mere cleaning compound, and
that one kind answers as well as an
other. Some even pretend to find a
latent virtue in common yellow soap,
and declare it more tonic than the mild
scented, carefully prepared cake of the
perfumer and chemist. When one thinks
of the toilet operations of many Ameri-
can farm-houses, the crash rollers, acrid
yellow soaps, and hard water of the
kitchen sink-common toilet service of
the entire family-one ceases to wonder
that the brilliant complex ons of our
rustic bellies become, long before mid
die life, the coarse, yellow, sodden ones
of many rustic matrons. Common bar
soap contains an amount of alkali, be-
sides rosin and turpentine, enough to
ruin any good complexion. If the skin
is in such condition that tonic is
needed, if its IN greasy, lax, and as if
too loosely overlaid the tissue, or dry
from profuse use of powder, wash the
face and hands well with warm water,
wipe the face dry, then with the bare
hand rub on cold cream made of almond
oil-not lard. Do this moderately five
or ten minutes, then with soft towel
go over the face firmly and wipe it
clean. There will be no grease left,
but the oil has both cleansed and nour-
ished the skin. Do this every day for
a week, and see how fresh and fair the
complexion will become. 1t is an old
and popular expedient of handsome
women to c''--;o' the dryness and heat
of the skin that may exist from any
cause. A Partisan compound, nearly
like our cold cream, used to anoint the
face, consists of: white wax. 30
grammes; oil of sweet almonds, 90
grammes; mutton suet, 30 grammes !;
starch powder to make a paste. =

Reecher on Friendship.

NEW YORK, May 20 Rev. Henry

morning on the theme of charity for
the erring, incidentally remarked
when Mr.. Conkling precipitated him

he attempted in every way to befriend
Mr.. Conkling and shield him to
such an extent that everybody thought
he was. on his side. A man expostu-
lated with him and said; General Grant,
don't you believe he did right?' No sir;
| don't. Then how is it you are on
his side now?' The reply was worthy

to use every necessary means to arrest
any attempt on the part of the bears to

was not in the best possible humor, and
expressed sorrow at what he termed
exaggerated newspaper reports of his
losses during the recent furry. He
denies that his bank account is depleted
S5,000,000 by the heavy lines of puts

half that sum will be nearer the truth.

barrassed, as he is yet believed to be
worth several millions.

what rights"
"Why, for the last ten years my front
fence has projected ten feet into the
public street. I have now received
notice to remove it"
"And you won't?"
"Neverl | am a citizen who ever
prefers peace to war, but if / am ground
into the dust l shall die like brave
man."
Moral.-If there is a cold-blooded
murder the Board of Public Works
will be held responsible.
The owner of soap factory, who
had been complained of for maintain
ing nuisance, was terribly put out
at the charge, and explained to the
court:

Good Breeding.

ITO do justice and Judgment is more
acceptable to the Lord than sacrifices, !"
says an old Jewish proverb. Men heed
this wise saying when they violate the
letter of law in order to execute its
spirit. A lady responds to it as often
as she breaks rule of etiquette, that
she may obey the higher law of kind
ness. The lady who presides over a
certain aristrocratic family in Washing
ton is famed for her perfect manners
and strict observance of social etiquette.
Her dinners are faultless for their
dainty and exquisite style, and great
guest always feels glow of pleasure
when he is invited to dine at Mrs.
LIS.
Once upon time distant relative
OF the lady, young man unaccustomed
to the ways of society, received an in
vitation to dinner party at the grand
house. He was bashful and awkward
and made more than one blunder before
the dinner hour arrived. But when the
guests were seated at the table he
thought his trials were over, as each
guest would be too busy with the seri-
GUS business of eating to observe him.
Soup was served, as usual, and he
was actively plying his spoon, when, to
his dismay, he heard the young man
sitting next to him whisper, as he
nudged him:
Don't drink your soup from the end
of your spoon! Drink from the side of
it as | dol"
The hostess was sitting directly across
the table from her rustic relative, and,
as he dropped his spoon in confusion
at his neighbours rebuke, she grace
fully lifted her spoon, and, to the in
tense relief of the youth, put the end
of the spoon to her lips!
He had the wit to turn to the dis
comfted young man who had so openly
rebuked him, and, in whisper loud
enough to be heard across the table,
exclaimed:
you may use your spoon as you
pleased L shall follow the example of
the hostessw
For once in that house a rule of Ell
quette was set aside for the sake of
good breeding. - Washington letter.
