Omnibus PrOphesies for 1886.

Somebody has unearthed an old
prophesy for the year 1886 of a
decidedly uncomfortable nature.
1t appears that in the church of
oberemmel, near the city Treveri,
IN Germany, there is q stone tab
let some centuries old, on which
Is cut the prophetic verse-in
prose it may be rendered:
When Mark shall bring us E.as-
ter and Anthony shall sing praises
at Pentecost, and John swing the
censer at the feast of Corpus Dom
ini then shall the whole earth re-
sound with weepings and wailings.
Now, it so happens that next
yeai Easter falls on st. Marks
day; Pentecost OF that of st. An
- -
thony of Padua, and the Corpus
Domini comes on st. John, the
Baptist's day, June "a. Here,
then, are the first conditions of
the prophesy fulfilled, so that now
believers in prophesies and anx-
ious-minded persons generally
have only to sit and think of ev-
erything that can possibly happen
to this poor old planet and the
dwellers thereon between January
and December, 1886. And, real
ly,if the cyclones and earthquakes
and epidemics and wars and ru-
mors of wars" of the years 1882 3
A 5 are to be eclipsed, the plos-
pect is not an agreeable one.

Albany Items.

News.
A gentleman living near Albany
who bad small sore on his face
assisted in nursing his brother-in-
law, who was suffering from cry
sipelas. The disease was commu-
nicated to the place on his face,
and his face and head began to
swell, and now his condition is
considered dangerous.
A lady of Albany, a few months
ago, who was in the last stages of
consumption, said one day her
heart felt as il it we're moving.
After that her heart beat on the
right side, and that side Of her
chest became much enlarged.
Physicians have known this to oc-
cur before under similar circnm-
stances. This lady lived several
days after the strange sensation
was experienced.

FlOgged by Women.

At Tampico, ". T., last Thurs
day, ten or twelve women took
Henry Roberts, the postmaster,
out, tied him to a fence and gave
him fogging. Mrs. Roberts
had repeatedly complained to
neighoors that her husband was
in the habit of beating her and
showed her lady friends welts and
bruises to verify her story. Rob
erts was warned to stop his brutal
conduct. Not needing the warn
ing, the women were aroused to
such pitch of indignation that
they gave him a taste of the lash
with all the improvements. After
the hogging Roberts was released,
and the disgraced fellow at once
mounted horse and left for parts
unknown, much to the relief of
his wife and the neighborhood.
Mrs. Roberts is now acting post
mistress, and expects President
Cleveland to continue her in that
ositicn.

There is a tendency in The
growing generation of youth oi
this degenerate and fast day to be.
come careless, and as it were. neg
lectful of those little attentions
and courtesies to the other sex
that has given the Southern men
q worldwide reputation for chiv-
airy and good breeding. This
should not be 30. Southern moth
ers should constantly endeavor to
teach to their boys reverence for
women-a gentle and courteous
bearing in their presence that
should impress all women or fe-
males with feeling Of protection
and security. Let our boys feel,
as they grow in years and size,
they never will be men in the no.
blest sense Of the word until they
have learned that Difference and
honor for dependent females that
characterized their fathers and
grandfathers generations before
them. Show us d boy who waits
upon his sister, watches to save
his. mother steps, and gives his seat
in the street car to the aged or
tired work-woman, and we will
show you true Southern boy,
son of a gentleman. Home train
ing must eventually leave it's i'm
press, and though he may be noisy,
apparently careless, sometimes
rough, he will grow into the feel
ing that his mother and sisters
must be shielded, waited on and
cared for, and when we once es-
tablish that idea foundation for
good and an iufuence that will 60
with him through life will be
formed, and we will we'll be repaid
in years to come. Paul Hayne,
our poet, and our idea of chivalry
and culture and unselfishness, and
& typical Southern gentleman,was
never known to address lady
with his hat on, and SO great is his
reverence for the female character
that he ascribes all the good in
his nature and his happiness in
life to the laying of this corner
stone by his beautiful and sainted
mother, for that "wee wife," so
petite in person, yet portentious
in good influence and Christian
unselfshness.

Wanted 10 Marry.

Monday morning q white man
from Macon county hustled into
Judge Speer's room at the court
house and said: Judge, L want o
license to get married; will you
sell it to me on credit?" Marry
time" said the Ordinary, with a
merry twinkle in his eyes, "can't
do that; whom do you wish to
marry?" He told the Judge that
it waSa woman at the poor house,
and begged hard for the license,
promising faithfully to pay for it
after he got his wife. A happy
idea struck him, and he went off
to Mr.. J. W. Wheatly, secretary
Of the County Commissioners, to
ask for the license on credit; but
he was disappointed. He told it
around that he thought it was
d d hard that the county would
not let him relieve it of the sup
port of the gal, and he be dog
goned if he didn't get mon
ey enough and buy the license,

4 Singular neyotien.

The most curious story of friend
ship which has recently come to
my ears is one existing between
an old hen and a bull. Mr.. Hugh
Renwick is authority for it. He
says that while in the country
lately he saw an old hen which
slept at night ON a tree near the
lot in which bull was kept. Ev-
cry morning the bull came up to
the tree, got the hen, and they
would go off to the pasture togeth-
er. The hen picked about near
by while the bull ate his quota of
grass, and together they repaired
to the shade of a tree and rested
during the heat of the day, the
hen perched upon Mr.. Bulls
horns, back or leg. After spend
ing the afternoon roaming about
the pasture they would start for
home. As the hen retired early,
the bull saw her safely to the tree
where she slept, waited until she
got herself comfortably settled,
and then lay down near by to
sleep and dream of her who was
his daily companion through rain

A GEORGIAN, who has travelled
through Ohio and Indiana, made
two observations. He says: II
never saw a negro north OF the
Ohio at work as drayman, car
driver or mechanic. / never even
saw one handling a shovel or pick.
They are all shut out from all this
sort of thing, and confined to wait
ing about hotels and picking up
odd jobs as errand boys or boot
blacks. Every revenue Of honest
and serious labor was barred to
them. In the South white and
black carpenters work side by side.

yet We are charged with discrimi-
mating against the negro. 1 rode

SOME medicines have very
large sale by virtue of large adj
vertisemeuts, some become very
popular by virtue of their own
merit. The popularity of Pitts
Carminative is merited by it's real
worth. Its quick relief OF collie,
cholera morbus, cholera infantum,
drain from the bowels, whether
from difficult teethine or any 9TH
er cause, gives it a popularity that
advertises itself. 1t is SO pleasant
to the taste that no child will re-
fuse it. 1t is so efficient that none
will be without having tried it.
Physicians use it because of its
virtue and it is cheaper than they
can put up a prescription. Your

Boss on a Compromise.
Written for the DAWSON JouBxAL.

Y rItten tOr t1e DAWSON JOUESAL
know a youth who is a clerk
In store of general merchandise;
His duties he tries not to shirk,
But sometimes wants to compromise.
From early morn till late at night,
He is at his post, and always tries
Toplease his customers, black and white,
But sometimes has to compromise.
Doubt not, kind friends, his ingenuity
OF avaiding facts, that will arise,
But when he has a superfiuity,
Then he tries to comprise
He blushed enc day--he is easy to scare
When woman looked him in the eyes
And said to him, the ''big arm chair
You'll have to give compromise.
He tried to shirk, but finally said,
GLOW do you like the second size2"
She refused to take it, he turned red,
But was anxious much to comprise. :.
The chair was bought where furniture
is kept,
And is often busted to keep of the
flies.
While busting the chair the young
man wept,
For paying such price to compro-
mise.

Put 1t in Your Pipe.

An English workingman, just
past the middle age, found that
his pipe, which, for many years,
had been a great comfort to him,
was beginning to seriously affect
his nerves. Before giving it up,
however, he determed to find out
if there was no way by which he
could continue to smoke without
feeling its effect to an injurious
extent. He accordingly wrote to
a medical journal, and was recom-
mended to fill the bowl of the pipe
one-third full of table salt and
press the tobacco hard down upon
it, as in ordinary smoking. The
result was very satisfactory. Dur
ing the process of smoking the
salt solidfes, while remaining po-
rous, and when the hardened lump
is removed, at the end of the days
smoking, it is found to have alb
sorbed so much of the oil Of the
tobacco as to be deeply colored.
The salt should be renewed daily.

A well-known lawyer had a case in
court the other day, in which he was
for the complainant, claiming damages
for a railway accident. He had three
witnesses to his version of the story
and he anticipated a sweeping verdict.
His case was that through some OBJ
struction placed on the track in the
dark night, through the carelessness of
the defendants. his client had met with
severe injuries. He called in a most
assured tone for the first witness. To his
dismay this individual swore that it was
a bright moonlight night and that
everything on the track was visible.
He withdrew him suddenly. Witness
No. 2 was relied upon to controvert the
first statement. He declared that the
whole neighborhood was lit with cleo
tric light, besides the moon. With de-
creasing assurance the lawyer called
the third. He swore that it was day.
light. Then the dazed attorney rose
Il move, your honor, for a continue
ton of this case on the ground of
SURPRISE Il grant it," said the
judge, while roar Of laughter arose
all around.
