Fast Runners.

From the Athens (Ga.) Baaner- Edtchntan.
Foot racing was once the principal
sport OF the country. Jackson and
OcOnee counties had two of the fastest
runners in Georgia, and when Aaron
Crow, of Oconee, then Clarke, and Charlie
ShackelfOrd, of jackson, would make a
race the people came from all parts of the
country to see those feel-footed country
boys try their speed. Aaron Crow was in
the city Tuesday, and says that he
was at one time the fastest man
in Georgia for 100 yards. Mr..
Crow ran three races with Charlie
Shackelford, and beat two of them. There
were large sums of money wagered on the
races. and nothing but this subject was
talked OF for weeks before it came off
Shackelford had a reputation that reached
from California TO Georgia, but when be
came against Aaron Crow be found one
that he could not beat so easily as he had
Indians and Mexicans out West. Mr..
Grow is now a quiet farmer in Oconee,
but delights TO tell Of some OF his races
when q VOIlUO man.

POPULAR REMEDIES.

Opium forms the basis of innumerable
remedies and very effective remedies,
sold under titles altogether reassuring
and misleading. Nearly all soothing
syrups and powders for example
mothers blessings" and infants
curses-are really opiates. These are
known or suspected by most we'll
informed people What is less
generally known is that nine in ten of
the popular remedies for catarrh, bron-
chitis, cough, cold, and asthma are also
Opiates. So powerful indeed is the effect
of opium upon the lining membrane of
the lungs and air passages, so difficult
is it to find an effective substitute, that
the efficacy, at least the certain and
rapid efficacy, of any nature is not
known affords strong ground for sus-
pecting the presence of opium. Many
chemists are culpably, almost criminally,
reckless and not few culpably ignor-
ant in this matter. A experienced man

cough with wonderful rapidity.
Familiar with the influence of opium
on the stomach and spirits, he was sure
before he had sucked half-a-dozen of the
lozenges that he had taken dose power
full enough to effect his accustomed
system, and strong enough to poison a
child, and do serious harm to sensi-
tive adult. Yet the lozenges were sold
without warming or indication of their
character; few people would have taken
any special precaution to keep them out
of the way of children, and the box,
falling into the hands of a needless or
disobedient child, might have poisoned
a whole nurssey.

AMBERGRIS.

A valuable product of the whale is
the remarkable substance called amber
gris-t e., gray amber. Until late years
ambergris could only be found floating
on the surface Of the sea, the coasts of
Africa, Brazil, and the Bahamas being
the usual localities for it. The color of
ambergris when broken is ashen gray,
mostly clouded with a reddish hue,
and diversified with irregular streaks of
yellow and black spots. On the ex-
terror it is black and shining, and looks
as if it had here and there been daubed
with pitch. 1t is mostly found inlumps
varying in weight from half an ounce
to hundred pounds or even more. AS
it is worth about a guinea per ounce, a
large piece is of very great value; SO
that party of sailors who once found a
lump of 90 pounds weight and knew the
value of their discovery, deserted their
ship and went home with their prize.
Ambergris has now been robbed of its
mysteries and is known to be unprosa-
ically formed by'a morbid condition Of
the intestine, and therefore each whale
is carefully searched before the body is
cut adrift after the blubber and sperma-
ceti have been removed. Not one whale
in so, however, produces a single ounce
of ambergris. The black spots which
have been mentioned are the hard
beaks of octopods which the whale
has eaten, and which retain their shape
after the soft flesh has been digested.
The geological reader may remember
that the beaks Of cuttles have been
found within the bodies of certain fossil
reptiles, thus showing conclusively
what was the snsture of their food.
There are several specimens in the
College of Surgeons, one being a valu-
able object as it is Cylindrical, and
remains the shape Of the intestine II
which it was formed. Ambergris il
little used in Europe, but in the East i
is held in high reputation, partly as {
perfume, and partly as a valuable in
gredisnt in cookery

at Fifty-One.

Testing is over with me forever
Life is too sober at fifty-one;
NOlonger worship the witty and clever;
Things that amuse me lOathe and shun.
Ihave come to the summit and now begun
To sink to the vale on the other side;
There's a damp in the air-there's gloom on
the sun
Whose waning the vapors Of Orcus hide.
And my fsllOw travellers, left and right,
Fall away from the track as we downward HE,
To their several homes they are not in sight;
But hear the bells as they bid "gOod-byV
How lonely feel rs | yet more nigh
To my destined nn-a dismal place
Shut from all glimpse of the gOodly sky
And the sunshine Of every friendly face.
Yet what is to dread? there's a Master there
Full of pity, to welcome the weary guest;
Who will bind the foOtsnre, and have good care
OF every poor soul that seeks His rest.
] tIemble to go to Him, uncOnfessed-
bear him no letters from priest or pope

THE D1MINUT1vE HAT.-ResUU Of
Weaning Same. The general prevalence
of neuralgia of the head and face among
women is beginning to attract the atten-
ton of the medical profession. And
the absurdly diminutive hats and bon
nets which so many women wear, COW
ering as they do, only a small portion
of the head, come in for denunciatiOn
as the cause of this disease. A writer
in the British Medical Journal calls up
on women to abrOgate fashion which
is so unreasonable and deleterious. But
the practice is not nearly so injurious
in the mild climate of England as it is
in this country.

SORTING RAGS.

Owing to the superior thrift of the
people, probably, the quality Of most
foreign rags is not equal to ours, as they
consist mainly of the we'll worn and very
dirty remnants of the cheapest and
coarsest grades of goods. Of course
there are some fine rags, but the quanti-
ty is small compared with the poorer
qualities. The rag dealers in New York
are trying very hard to convince the au-
thorities that there is not as much
danger of catching the cholera from the
rags received in bales and boxes as from
those brought in on the backs of the
dirty immigrants arriving almost daily.
The authorities may admit the force
of the argument, yet not see their way
clear to admit the old rags, even if there
was not hundreth part of the danger,
as it is their duty to avert all the danger
they possibly can. So far none of those
employed in sorting the rags or handling
them have been smitten with cholera or
any other plague, but it stands to reason
that the germs of the desease may be
transmitted in this way. Is it not singu-
lar that ragpickers, sorters and handlers
are so free from the disease? Those
who are engaged in the business are ap-
parently as healthy as any Othsr class
in fact more so than some. Take the
girls who sort and wash rags, and COM
pare them with shop girls and sewing
girls. They are, as a rule, the fresher
and ruddier of the two when they get
the CRIME and dirt washed off. At first
glance it would seem they must take a
great deal of dirt into the lungs, but
such is not the case. The windpipe and
bronchial tubes are so well supplied
with mucous secretions that almost any
particle of dust that is inhaled has been
caught before reaching the more delicate
passages of the lungs. The greater pOr-
ton is caught near the upper portion OF
the windpipe, and is easily cOughed up
