EDITORS CLARION: Hearing the ques-
ton of longevity discussed few days ago
from local standpoint, put me to think
ing and then to listening. Inside the
territory embraced on the railroad from
Terry to Crystal Springs 90 miles, and
east to the Pearl river bluffs at Terry,
one mile; at Crystal Springs eight miles
do not propose that the figures are an
absolute certainty, but I know all the
parties named intimately, and have
known most of them thirty-fiye years,
and my data is made up from what they
have told me Themselves, or at least my
present recollection of it, and am sure
it will not be found inaccurate by an
average of one year, more or less, and /
have given preference to the less. When
do not remember to have talked with
the parties, 1have left them out-as Dr.
H. S. Staekhouse, at Crystal Springs,
who has evidently neared his four score,
and two or three other old people at
same place; nor have ! gone outside the
prescribed trapisoid. Yesterday just be-
low the lower line, | met Mrs. Eliza
Black, past four score, and her sister
Mrs. Rebeeca Hester nearly four score,
both denizens since Copiah was not.
Last winter / met Mr. Buckaloo 4 miles
west of Crystal Springs, one hundred
and three years old, who had, with his
own hand made an abundance of corn,
peas, potatoes, etc., and had on that day
brought on wagon driven by himself
his bale of cotton to Crystal Springs
denizen since Mississippi was not.

A SKILFul SURGICAL OPERATION.

The American Ambassador ut Vienna,
Mr. Kasson, has lately forwarded TO his
Government an interesting account of u
remarkable surgical operation lately
performed by Professor Billrotb, of
Vienna, which, wonderful to tell, con.
sisted in the removal of portion
of the human stomach, involving
nearly onc.third of the organ--and,
strange " say, the patient recovered
--thc only successful operation of the
kind ever performed. The disease for
which this operation was performed
was cancer of the stomach, attended with
the following symptoms The appetite
is quite poor. There is peculiar indies.
Cribable distress in the stom ach, feel.
ing that has been described rs u faint
"dN gone" sensation; II sticky slime col.
lects about the teeth, especially Ia the
morning, accompanied 10y an unpleasant
taste. Food fails to satisfy this peculiar
faint sensations but, on the contrary, ii
appears TO aggravate the feeling, The
eyes are sunken, tinged with yellow; the
hands and feet become cold and sticky
n cold perspiration. The sufferers feel
tired all the time, and sleep does not
seem TO give rest. After time the pa.
tient becomes nervous and irritable,
gloomy, his mind filled with evil fore.
bodings. When rising suddenly from
recumbent position there is dizziness,
q whistling sensation, and he is obliged
to grasp something firm to keep from
falling. The bowels costivr, the skin
dry and hot at times; the blood bccom.
ing thick and stagnant, AMI does not
circulate properly. After Il time the
patient spits up food soon after eating,
sometimes in sour and fcrmcntcd con
dition, sometimes swedish to the taste.
Oftentimes there is II palpitation of the
heart, and the patient fears he may have
heart disease. Towards the last the
patient is unable to retain any food
whatever, as the opening in the mites.
tines becomes closed, or nearly so. AL.
though this disease is indeed alarming
sufferers with the above named symp-
toms should not feel nervous, for nine
hundred and ninety.nine cases out of u
thousand have no cancer, but simply
dyspepsia, n disease easily removed if
treated in Il proper manner. The safest
and best remedy for the disease is
Seigel's Curative Syrup, a vegetable pre-
paration sold by all chemists and medi-
cine vendors throughout the world, and
by the proprietors, A. j. White (Limit.
cd), II, Farringdon.road, London, Il. G.
This Syrup strikes at the very founda.
ton of the disease, and drives il, root
and branch, out of the system.

memphis Appeal

AcibPhic AHle1l.l
John Kelly, the pestiferOus New
York Democrat, still sulks in his
tent poulticing his grievances, but
it seems he is gradually becoming
more amiable. A week ago, in con
versatiOn with Gov. Aiken, OF
South Carolina, with whom he had
served in Congress thirty years
ago, Mr.. Kelly said:
Il shall vote for Gov. Cleveland
aud hope he will be elected, but
| am afraid that his conduct while
Governor has estranged II portion
of the workingmen in New York.
His veto of the five cents elevated
railroad bill has been especially
condemned by the workingmen,
aud | am doubtful if Gov. Cleve-
land could carry the State of New
York. But,n said he, 81 shall vote
for him and hope to see him elect.
ed.n
Ii is plain to be seen that Kelly
and Tammany will rally to the sup
port of Cleveland before the elcc-
ton. Any other course would de.
stroy both, and at the proper time
both will rally to the Democratic
banner under which they have
heretofore done good service.
They have nowhere else to go.
Tammany is proud ofits traditions,
has always exercised a powerful
influence in State and national
politics, and it cannot afford to an
tagonize the Democracy in the
great battle for administrative re.
form. Cleveland will ride into the
Presidency on a great tidal wave.
The country is on the eve of a po
litical revolution. The issues of
the war have been forever buried
out of sight. The people are ad.
justing themselves to living issues,
and are determined to purify the
fountain Office by electing to the
Presidency a man Of undoubted in.
tegrity. In view of the certain
election of Cleveland neither Kcl.
ly nor Tammany can afford to be
Indifferent as to the result. The
ides OF November will find them
doing good service for the cause
which is the inspiration of their
organization, and this support will
give new zeal and contribute to

Investments at the S0uth.

A great deal of capital is being
invested in Southern manufact-
ures, but at least four-fifths of it
comes from the North. New en-
terprise in the way of starting
manufactures are set on foot in
the North, and contracts made for
machinery and fixtures before
anything is done where the works
are to be located. The South,
however, is just as enterprising as
any other section of the country
in the matter of donating sites and
granting favors to new industrial
establishments. = American Ma,
chinist.
The Machinist is correct in say.
ing that a large amount Of capital
is being invested in Southern
manufactures, but it is in error
when it claims that four.ffths OF
it comes from the North. Out
side capital is undoubtedly being
put into industrial enterprises al
the South very freely, but the
people of the South are also in
yesting heavily in such undertak
ings. One of the most gratifying
features of Southern progress is
the enterprise and push displayed
by Southern men in developing
their country. Take Atlanta, Bir
mingham, Chattanooga, or Annis'
ton, as an illustration, and an ex
animation of their growth will
show that it is very largely due tC
Southern men and money. Not
withstanding the general opinion
to the contrary, Southern cottor
mills have, to very liberal extent
been built by Southern money,and
the same is true of saw mills, floul
mills, cotton.seed oil mills, tobacco
factories aud the many other in
dustries that are now so rapidly
increasing the wealth of the South

a new married couple boarded the
train and were very loving, indeed.
The brakesman noticed the gush-

but maintained serene quiet.
Finally the station in question was
reached, and just after the whistle
sounded the groom gave the bride
a rousing smack on the lips, and

and shouted, sawyer! Sawyer y
