My Experience.

Eighteen Years of terrible headache, disgusting
nasal discharges, dryness of the throat, acute
bronchitis coughing, soreness of the lungs, rails
ing bloody mucus, and even night sweats, inca
pacitating from my professional duties, and
bringing me to the verge of the grave-all were
caused by. and the results of, nasal catarrh.
After spending hundreds of dollars and obtain
ing no relief, compounded my Catarrh Specific
and Cold Air Inhaiing Balm, and wrought upon
myself a wonderful cure. Now l can speak for
hours with no difficulty, and can breathe freely
in any atmosphere. At the calls of numerous
friends, have given my cure to the public, and
have now thousands of patients in all parts of
the country, aud thousands of happy fellow
beings whose suferinEs l have relieved. My
cure is certain, thorough and perfect, and is in-
dorsed by every physician who has examined
it. If l can relieve my fellow beings as L have
been relieved of this loathsome disease, which

The September moon fnlls on
Thursday, the Oath. at A minutes
after 4 o'clock in the morning, when
our fair satellite. crowns the month
with the beautiful harvest moon. For
several successive nights after fulling,
the moon will rise in the eastern sky
as soon az the sun disappears in the
western, flooding the earth with silver
light, and making it beautiful as .
dream of the land where there is no
night. Owing to the constant ad-
vance of the moon in its orbit, it
rises about 80 minutes later each
successive day. In September and
October it rises, however, but few
minutes later on several successive
evenings, and, as, this is the time OF
harvesting in England. the moon was
formerly supposed to afford special
light for harvesting, aud was, henca
called harvest moon.
Why it is that these risings at this
season, occur so nearly at the same
time may be easily shown by means
of globe. The ecliptic, near which
the planets and the moon have their
course ia most oblique to the horizon
at this season, so that the moon in
our latitude moves almost along the
horizon when rising, in consequence
Of which she appears above it about
the same time, several nights in sue
cession. In the polar regions the
moon does not get below the horizon
for fifteen days.

NOT CAMPAIGN THUNDER.

"Ciyil service reform" has become
something more than q senseless
campaign hobby for the politicians.
The solid men of the hour appreciate
the Importance of the innovation,
and since President Cleveland has
taken it into his head to see the
rules enforced, the politicians don't
appear to take as much stock in the
reform" business as they did some
months ago. The communications
lately passed between Commissioner
Dorman B. Eaton and the President
is a revelation on the subject to most
persons, and altogether must be re-
freshing reading to politicians of the
spoils system. We commend it to
the careful perusal of the "ring" and
ewing" factions in Louisiana.

Another Great Exposition.

Visitors at the great Worlds Ex-
position during its closing days could
not realize that il was SO soon to end
aud be but memory 1t was an
exhibition of such great magnitude,
OF such unparalleled grandeur, so
| representative Of the worlds richness
aud progress, so Indicative of con-
tihued great commercial and indus
uiI possibilities, gathered together
after so many months of incessant
labor aud at such great expense. and
finally having reached completeness
and perfection; and having through
unfortunate aud unavoidable circum-
stances been attended by 30 compar-
atively q small proportion of the
people of this country, it seemed a
sacrilege that it should now cease
and pass from existence.
Prominent citizens of New Orleans
and OF the Mississippi valley feeling
that its destiny had not been accom-
phshed, that the great work it had
inaugurated was not sufficiently ad-
vanced, determined that the great
Exposition should again be opened.
A new organization, for the forma-
ton of which steps were taken long
before the closing of the Worlds
Exposition, under the name of the
North, Central and South American
Exposition, has purchased the build
ings and property of the Worlds
Expo s'tion, and will open on Novem-
10th and continue open until April
l, 1886.
A large number of the finest ex-
hibts, not ouly of private exhibitors,
but State. Territorial and inter-Na-
tional exhibits, like those of Mexico,
we're suffered to remain in antici-
patton OF re-opening. Already
since the announcement hundreds of
applications for space from old and
new exhibitors have been received,
and it is said that the complete FILL
ing with exhibits of seventy-two
acres of space covered by the build
Jugs is certain.
Capt. Samuel II. Buck, who so
satisfactorily filed the position of
Director General after Major Burke's
retirement, is the new Director Gen
eral, aud Col. John w. Glenn, late
U. s. Supervising Architect, is the
new Chief Of Installation.

The Georgia Evangelist.

Correspondence llme6-DemoCrat.J
No man in the South has attracted
more attention from the newspaper
press in the past six months than
Sam Jones, and no man is less I'M
derstood by those who have not seen
him. 1 confess that I was by no
means prepossessed by the reports
had read of his Sermons volume
of which has just been issued from
the press. He must be seen and
heard to be appreciated. In the
newspaper reports of his sermons
that have been so widely reprinted
in the South, special prominence has
been given to the slangy, coarse ex-
pressions that mar his work, while
the earnest eloquence of his more
sober periods is rarely reproduced.
In this way an erroneous impression
has gone abroad. He is regarded
by many as merely pulpit buffoon-
jesting with sacred things and hav-
ing no other aim than to make him
self notorious. 70 see his earnest
face is enough to remove this impress
sion. But as preacher be is to be
admired, not initiated. He is one
of his kind, and those who hear him
need never expect to hear another.
1t would be dangerous thing for
any theological sprig to take him for
model; and yet he is great power
for good. The Rev. DR.. W. M. Left
wich says OF him: "All classes, from
the highest to the lowest, from the
most learned and cultivated to the
most ignorant and toughest, are alike
moved to repentance and better
life by him, or rather by the Holy
Spirit through him. His power over
men as men is marvellous, and his
power over vast assemblies is pbe-
nomeDal. He is the master of as
semblies. He despises the mere arts
of oratory, as he does all ehams. but
he possesses the eloquence of earn
estDess and action, the fire and glow
of passion, the surprises of thought,
the wit. humor, ridicule, irony, sar-
casm. invective, patbos. sympathy,
love, humanity, and faith, which, ex :
pressed in the language of the shop
and field, and illustrated by the COM
mon facts of life and the happiest
allegories, make him the most sen
sational preacher now in the Ameri-
can pulpit"

The Clerk of the Court, s. B. ShackeIford, then

the assistance of the clerk of the district court
and ex-oificio member of the jury commission
proceeded to open the general venire box, and,
after revising the same by striking from the list
and taking from the box all those who had served

hood he sowed considerably more
than his share of wild oats. He was
educated as a lawyer, and began the
practice of his profession, but his
habits of dissipation we're bar to
his success. Writing of this period
of his life. DR.. Leftwich says: "Whis-
ky drinking, profanity, and their
kindred evils, swept him down into
the deepest depths, and made him
90 reckless that all efforts for his re-
formation only maddened him. uutil
his father, baf1ed and mortified, gave
up all hope and then lay down to
die. While on his death-bed, his
father seized every opportunity to
talk with him. As death approached,
the son grew more aud more serious
until the closing scene-so triumph
ant over death that heaven and earth
were brought together, and the
prodigal boy fell down at the death
bed and cried out for mercy" From
this scene dates the beginning of the
remarkable career of the great evan
gelist. He was licensed to preach by
the Methodist Conference, at Atlanta,
in 1872. For several years he had
the usual experiences of an itinerant
minister, and it has only been q
comparatively short time since he
began to develop those peculiarities
that have made him famous The
marvellous success of bis efforts In
Huntsville, Knoxville, Nashville, and
other cities, has probably never be-
fore been equaled in the history of
revivals in America.

A Mr.. Pratt, of London. proposes
to bury the dead paupers of the
English metropolis in cheap collins,
which are to be cemented together
with concrete, from time to time, and
employed to build a breakwater at
Herne bay. The proposition. we
think, is common sense and practical,
and not near so repugnant as crema-
ton. The cities and towns along the
Mississippi could utilize their dead
by building levees with them, while
New Orleans could contribute SER
vicable work to supplement the
Jetty system.
