A Philadelphian, who stammer-
ed very badly, has cured himself
Of that awkward complaint, and
very generously gives the success
ful system of treating stammering
TO the public. This gentleman
studied scores Of theories about
stammeriifg, and tried all Of them,
only 10 meet with failure. Seeing
some tine ago in one Of the Phila
delphia papers a system by which
the he-complaint could be cured by
marking time, he resolved to try
the experiment, BY this method
the stammerer is made to mark
time in his speech, Just as it is
ordinarily done in singing. At
first he is to beat on every syllable.
He should begin on one of the
Psalms, striking the finger on the
same knee at every word. Time
can be marked in any way by
striking the finger on the knee.
hitting the thumb against the fore
linger,or moving the big toe in the
boot The effected PhiladeIphian
adopted this system of self treat
ment, and in six weeks he could
speakas wei and clearly as any
one. The cured man, in grateful
recognition Of tie newspaper that
had published the plan OF treat
meHt that had cured him, present
ed the editor-it was Geo. ".
Childs with a handsome silver
medal, in appreciation OF the ser
vice his paper had rendered him;
and proposes to devote. himself to
curing stammering among his
friends and acquaintances.

starve. Well, he was tickled to
see me, and cried some, and said
when he got out Of jail he guessed
he would go and drown himself,
cause he wasn't no good, and he
talked about his mother diving,
until it broke us ali up, and then
we paid his fine and / took him up
to our house, and gave him some
Of my clothes, and we tried all the
evening to think of some work he
could do, but he never learned to
do a thing when his pa was rich
except to walk down to town and
back. / never saw a boy so help
less. ] happened to think that
when We were little boys we used
to 60 in his mas kitchen on bak-
ing days, and they would give us
some dough to mix, and | asked
HIN if he remembered it, and he
said he did. That was the only
thing he could do. SO I went
down to the bakery and told the
baker that [ had friend who did
not know anything on earth but to
mix dough, and I wanted to get a
job for him. Well, sir, it happen
ed that one Of the bakers was off
on a drunk, and the boss said to
bring my friend in, and l told the
boy, and impressed upon his mind
that he must act as though he had
been brought up on dough, and
knew all about 1t, and | took him
down there, and the baker gave
him job, and he caught on so
well the baker is going to give him
twelve dollars a week after next
week. Q, dear, but he could sling
dough. Now this shows what a
little thing will save a boy, bat it
was a narrow escape, and every
boy should learn to do something.
Seems singular, don't it, that the
only thing the boy knew, by which
he could earn a living, was some
thing he learned when he was
playing in childhood, in his mas
kitchen. Say, [ wish l was an
orator, and could goaround giving
lectures, like Ingersoll and Beech
er. would talk to boys and girls
entirely, and | would show them
that they were the biggest fools on
earth to neglect TO learn trade. -
Yes, that is all right, bat what
do you know, by which you can
earn g iying?" asked the grocery
man Of the. bad boy, thinking lie
had him.
"lie," said the bad boy, indig-
Dant at the idea that he didn't
know anything. Il could do a
dozen different things that I have
learned. l could come into this
grocery and double your business,
by keeping it clean, and giving
fnll weight, treating everybody
kindly, keeping good groceries in
stead OF poor ones, and wearing a
clean shirt, and smile instead of
a dirty shirt and a frown, as you
do. l Icould-''
THAT will do, you can 60" and
the groceryman let the boy go out
and closed the grocery to 90 tO
dinner, while the boy went to the
barn to feed his pas trotter.

RAILROAD NEWS.

The stockholders of the Wrightsville
and Tennilie Railroad will to-day meet in
Wrightsville at the annual meeting of
the company. The election of a new
Board of Directors and other matters of
important business demand attention.
The East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia Railroad Company have decided
to establish, in East Rome, a round house
with capacity for 40 engines. The work
has been commenced and the grounds are
beng graded and side track being laid.
Meriwether indicator: The grading
force of the railroad is in sight of town,
not more than three-quarteTs of a mile
from the terminus of the survey. The
tracklayers are about four miles behind
the grading corps. In two weeks more
the grading will be completed. Two tres
ties are to be built, one over Bluff creek,
the other over Bender creek. We under
stand that Col. Clark hopes, if bad wea-
Their does not hinder, to have the cars
running into town about Jan. /. Unless
this is done, we fear Greenyille and the
road will lose next years guanO trade.
Where the guano is bought a large pro-
portion of that years cotton crop also
goes. Hence the eagerness Of our people
to have the cars enter GreenYille at the
very earliest possible date.

THE SANITARY CONFERENCE.

The City Council to Decide Whether
Savannah RIi be Represented.
The Board Of Sanitary Commissioners
yesterday unanimously decided TO recon-
mend to the City Council the advisabi.!.tV
and necessity ef sending a representative
10 the National Sanitary Council, which
meets in Washington on Dec. 10, allusion
to which has already been made in the
NEWS, This conference is TO ba composed
of leading physicians, both in their indi-
viduaI capacity and in the capacity of
representative s from State and local sG&Iii-
tarv Organizations. II e probable that
DIR. j. T. Mcfarland, Health Officer and
Secretary OF the Board, will represent
Savannah.
DIR. Mcfarland was asked last evening
as TO what benefit would be derived from
the conference. He replied that no line
Of work had been mapped out, and that it
was of course impossible to speak with
any degree of pOsitIveness upon that
point. He was of the opinion that one
result would probably be keeping the
government quarantine open when there
was any danger of infection from other
points. The quarantine at SapelO, he said,
was now closed, and while it was true
that it could be opened at short notice,
still it was not properly equipped, and in
case cholera should be taken there, 1t
would be a difficult matter to get
nurses to 90. He would certainly be in
favor of keeping the quarantine open and
ready for active service. The matter will
come before the Council tomorrow night.

James Waller, young man who was
committed to Jail last week by Justice
Mcleod King. The indictment charged
the prisoner with burglary at the house
of John A. Carter, on the Pine Barren
road, with the intention to commit an as
sault on Mr.. Carriers daughter. A NEWS
reporter visited Waller in his cell. He is
young man, apparently little over %
years old. Upon being asked about his
