General Debility.

For several years past my wife's health
has been exceedingly feeblo-a general
break down of the nervous system. She
was greatly reduced in flesh. No remedy
seemed to do her any good. In the spring
of 1883 I induced her to try Swifl's
Specific. The first bottle gave her hope
and twenty bottles produced wonderful
results. She gained thirty pounds in
flesh and 1t renovated her whole system.
It is certainly the greatest tonic in the

General Buffers Statement of the Mil.
itary Policy OF Grant In 188A..g5.

It has been said that Grant had no
genius that Ia, no intuition by which to
discover great fact or to lay out for
himself new and great course of action.
have said that his mind was not inyen.
tive, but l do know of one course of
conduct adopted by him, an emanation
from his own mind, for, 80 far rs hsve
read in history, It was never before In
that form adopted by any great com.
mander, and II certainly was not done by
any other general In our war. II did
not emanate from the Secretary of War
or the President, so far as I have any
knowledge or suspicion, and WAS ex-
planned TO myself by Grant, who had
just then been made General.in. Chief of
the armies, and came to Fort Monroe to
explain the plan Of the future campaigns
against the enemy, 30 far as I was to
April, 1864.
His proposition was that the enemy
should be conquered by continual attri.
ton and inilictlng loss In every way and
wearing out their resources as fast, as
possible and at however great cost, rely
ing upon our own more abundant money
and men 70 bring OUT O successful result.
He esid that he would attack tho enemy
ut all times and under all conditions,
even ct the risk of losing more men than
they did, as We could could afford to lose
moro; and as the rate of death by
disase and hardships incident to camp
life was far greater than the loss of men
by bullet and shell, he thought, upon
the whole, that If the war could be
pressed on and ended shortly the loss of
life would be less, and the expenses
would certainly be less than those of q
longer continued war. He said, further,
that the enemy, occupying the interior
lines Of defenses, could hold on With less
men than we must use and that we must
lose more than they would in driving
them from their defenses, but they could
not retrieve their losses as we could
ours. a%
He spoke to me as Commissioner OF
Exchange of Prisoners. He said that
every Confederate held by us was one
man less to them, while, even If we ex.
change, we should not get enc man to
meet ths one We gave, because their men
were In good condition and able at once
to go back into the field, while our men
were in such o condition that It would
take months for them to recuperate go as
TO come back, If they ever did come
back, into our armies. Hence he eng.
gested TO me not to refuse the exchange
Of prisoners, but to 50 embarrass the
operation 40 only to exchange the sick
and wounded of both sides; end to that
policy ne adhered through the campaign
OF 1864. This course taken by him put
an end to the rebellion, and he held to it
until, In the Spring of 1865, Lee had
neither mon nor rations to feed them
upon, nor could the Confederates supply
him with either, and then came Apo.
mattox and the conclusion of the war.
This seened TO me then a stroke Of
genius, but Il required adamantine nerve
and iron will to carry 1t out--Batler's

a Talk With Robert Toomhs.

ATLANTA, August 9.-In an interview
General Robert Toombs expresses himself
on many points in his past career. "The
elimination Of my political career" said
General Toombs, "was the secession agi.
tation. The statement that there existed
among tho Southern Senators in 1869
and 1860 conspiracy to force secessions
Is untrue. There was no conspiracy, no
understanding. The encroachments of
Northern congressman upon the reserved
rights of the States, che incendiary agita.
ton of disturbing questions IN that uec.
ton, had alarmed the Southern States
They elected men to Congress to represent
their views. These men were represan.
tatives, aud were only guilty of the Same
conspiracy as always exists between con.
stituent and representative. The ques.
tion OF secession came up from the peo.
pie just In the same shape as other ques.
tions como up, and consequently South.
ern Senators merely presented the views
of those whom they represented. They
went homo and addressed their conutitu.
ents upon that, as they did upon all other
questions. ALI Of my speeches were 90
made to my constituents in Georgia, or
in my place upon the floor of the Senate
l always gave my utterances to the press
freely. / mover suppressed speech nor
spoke In riddles. My life has been an
open page, which all men might read"
"Was there ever hope of success for
the Con!ederacy, and if 30 why did II
fail 2"
"There was no doubt of success" an.
swered the General. "The South could
have succeeded had 1t not been throttled by
West Point. The Presidency Of tho Con.
federacy was offered to me and declined.
When South Carolina, with singular stu.
pidity, wrapped itself around Jefferson
Davis, Mississippi was not 80 insane, but
could not out Of courtesy, vote against
her own citizen. Hence, Davis became
President, and West Point was the school
whence he drew hin ideas. He had grad.
uated from that institution and could
never be brought TO realize the fact that
men in civil life knew anything. He
filled commands with West Pointers, and
he stuck to them through every reverse.
The martinez discipline of that inatitu.
tion was the only reliance Of RIr. Davis"
under whom could the Confederacy
have succeeded7"
"Alber5 Sidney Johnston was the one
man who could have certainly succeeded,
but death cut his career short. Joseph
u. Johnston came next. Waen Jefferson
Davis, inspired by domestic intrigues,
removed Johnston from tho command OF
the Western army, he killed the Confed.
eracy. Davis was thoroughly incompe.
tent: His forte was review writing. He
would have been successful magazine
man, but in the hustle of practical, every
day life he was utterly Lost. My personal
feeling for Mr.. Davis is of the kindest
character. but that does not remove the
facts of history"

roler-skating. She rejects with scorn her sire'a
offer to compromise by letting her to all the min
strel shows that come into the town, and declares
that the issue is roer-skatng or death. With this
spirit abroad in the country it is not wonderful
that the travelling theatrical companies are doing
O poor business, and that many ambitious actors
have been obliged to come back to tho "Rialto" in
this city "on their uppers."
In the midst of all this hubbub the verdict Of tho
physician andthe moralist on the evil results Of
roller-skating Is unheeded, and the fun goes
merry on. All this is not particularly creditable
TO the good sense of the American people; but the
reaction will probably come some day. The rinks
with their high-sounding and bizarre names will be
turned into theatres, churches, or cheap museums
several millions of rsller-skates will be cast aside
