The Eatal state Department.

The State Department, which at the
beginning Of Government was
looked upon as the stepping stone to
the Presidency, became latter on sim
gulayiy fatal to the ambitions OF almost
every man who took charge OF it, and
its possession in many cases has been
the f%orerunner Of disaster, disease and
death. Upshur, one of Tyler's Secre.

Secretary william HI. Seward never
recovered fully from the blow OF the
assassin Payne. which he received on
the night Lincoln Was killed, and his
political future was injured by his con-
nection with Johnson in the State De-
partment in the following administra-
tion. James G. Blaine narrowly escaped
receiving Guiteau's bullet when he
walked down to the depot arm in arm
with President Garfield to see him off
to Long Branch, and the dissatisfaction
with Blaine's aggressive policy as Sec
rotary OF State probably lost him
enough votes during the last election
to put Cleveland in the White House.

portfolio from John Quincy Adams the

BRISTLING WITH NEEDLES.

A remarkable case, now puzzling
several physicians, has just been de-
veloped in Manor Township, Arm
strong county, Pa, few miles from
Pittsburg. A daughter of George
Weaver, a dairyman in that locality,
recently began suffering from a jag
ging sensation in her arms and body.
The pain finally became unbearable,
and physician was called in to ex-
anime the case. He discovered a
number of needle points just under
the skin and removed them.
This afforded the young woman re-
lief for the time being, but day or
two ago she began to feel symptoms
of more needles in different parts Of
her body, and called upon DR.. Jessop
OF Armstrong county, to remove
them. He extracted six from her
right arm, four from the muscles and
two from the flesh at the back of arm
Their removal seemed to cause the
patient intense anguish.
Altogether twenty-four needles
have been removed from her body
and they are still appearing on hel
breast, side and arm. In reply to q
question as to how the needles came
there she said that she believed some
one shot them into her flesh.

DON'T HIT THAT POST.

The funeral ceremonies were con-
cluded, ard the remains of the late
wife of DeGruntle were being car
ried in the elegant casket to the
hearse.
Just as the bearers neared the
hearse one of them stumbled and the
casket struck against a post. At
once there was commotion in the
casket, and faint cry was heard.
The bearers returned to the house
with their burden, and on opening
the casket it was found that the I'M
fortunate woman was not dead, and
had come near being buried while in
state of Inconsistencies that had
lasted several days.
Two years afterward Mrs. DeGrun-
tie really died, and for second time
the funeral services were being held
over the body. At their conclusion
the casket was taken out as before.
AS the bearers were walking down
the path to the hearse the bereaved
husband suddenly rushed oat of the
house and shouted:
'Take care, therel Don't let the
casket hit that post Boston Sunday

EASY THINGS.

There are some boys who do not
like to learn anything that is hard.
They like easy lessons and easy work,
but they forget that things which are
learned easily are of comparatively
little value when they are learned.
A man who confines himself to easy
things must do hard work for small
pay. For example, a boy can learn
to saw wood in five minutes; any boy
can learn to saw it in the same time /;
any ignorant person can learn it lust
as easily and the result is, the boy
who has only learned to saw wood, if
he gets work to do, must do it in com
petition with the most ignorant class,
and accept the wages for which they
are willing to work.
Now, it is very well for a boy to
know how to saw wood. But suppose
he knew how to builda steam engine.
This whuld be much harder to learn
than saving wood but when he had
learned it he would know something
which other people do not know, and
when he got work to do other people
could not come and get it away from
him. He would have prospect of
steady work and good wages he
would have good trade and so be in
dependent. Boys should think of
this, and spend their early days in
learning the thing they need to know
in after years. Some boys are very
anxious to leran; but this is not al
ways best. 1t is often more impor-
tant that boys shsuld learn. When
they are young they can earn but
little, but they can learn much, and
if they learn things thoroughly when
young, they will earn when they are
older much more than enough to
make up for the time and labor which
they spent in learning what to do and
how to do it.

SPEER CONFIRMED.

EMORY SPEER was confirmed a;
Judge of the Southern District O
Georgia on the 18th inst, by one ma.
jority, and Senator Brown giving the
decisive vote in Speer's favor. The
Senate sat in executive session on
his case nearly four hours. Most Of
the time was taken up by Senators
Brown and Colquitt. Senator Col
quit made a long speech, reviewing
the evidence he had submitted before
the judiciary committee, and siren
uously opposing Speer. He declared
that the people of the district over
which he would preside were almost
unanimous in opposition to his con
frmation. He said Speer was unfit
in character and attainments for this
office, and to force him upon the peO-
pie would be an outrage. Senator
Colquitt denied that he opposed
Speer because of his politics. Though
Speer had figured somewhat in poht-
zeal affairs, it would be pretty hard to
tell what his politics are. He said
he based his objections solely on the
lack OF legal and moral qualifications.
He concluded with an appeal to the
republicans to look beyond the fact
that this was the nomination of re-
publican president, and of one who
claimed to be republican, and to
Judge of him on his merit as a man.
Senator Colquitt was very emphatic
in his remarks.
Senator Brown made an earnest
speech in support of Speer; so did
HOar. Senator Vest, of Missouri,
spoke against Speer,
Vote stood 30 to 30. All the dem
ocrats except Senator Brown voted
against confirmation or were paired
against it. Four Republicans oppos-
ed Speer. They were Hale, of Maine;
Jones, of Nevada VanWyck, of Ne
braska and Plumb, of Kansas. The
case caused the most spirited contest
known in the executive sessions in a
long time.
All honor to Senator Colquitt for
the part he took in this contest. Of
the two Georgia Senators, he alone
represented the true democratic SEN
timent of the people of this State.

The prune industry is attracting
much attention from the orchardists
of California, and the fruit grown is
in no ways inferior to the best i'm
ported. Perhaps the largest prune
orchard in the world is situated one
mile from Sarotaga, Cal. land contains
10000 trees. 1t was recently sold for
1000. 1t is situated on gentle
slope from the foot of the mountain
to the Los Gatos road, and can be ia
ken in at glance. Near byss it is the
famous Rice orchard, containing fruit
and nuts trees of almost every known
variety; also the O'Banion & Kent
orchard of 80 acres, for which $110,-
900 advance is said to have been offer
ed and refused. Canned prunes are
among the new delicacies in the mark
ct, and there is no other fruit that
excels them in tempting flavor. They
are destined to be held in great favor,
and will command a good price.

A great western editor declares
that the next advance in journalism,
which up to this time has been noto-
rious for the quantity of news, will
be discriminating taste as to the
quality. No less a poet and newspa-
per man than William Cullen Bryant
said that the character and success
of a journal were dependent more up
on what was suppressed rather than
what was printed, of the vast mass OF
matter offered for publication.

A DEADLY THRIJST.

AT Shelbyville, Tenn, Perry Col
Inns and Sam Scott, relatives, went
home drunk and quarreled at the
supper table about bet of ten cents.
Collins threw the coffee pot at Scott.
The men went out doors with drawn
knives to fight it out, Mrs. Collins,
who had been an agonized witness to
the difficulty, doing all she could to
prevent it, ran in between the two
men just as each made deadly
thrust at the other with his knife.
She received both the stabs, one in
the heart and one in the neck. She
turned and walked back into the
house and fell dead. Her children
screamed, and the men having made
friends, rushed in to view their dead
ly work. They were allowed to at
tend the funeral of their victim and
rode together in spring wagon tc
the grave. They were then placed in
Jail.

Malarial Poison.

The drouth in Southwest Georgia
last spring dried up the wells, and
we were compelled to use water from
the creek on the plantation. The re-
suit was that all were troubled with
chills and fever. | carried with me
several bottles of Swift's Specific, and
as long as took it, had perfect
health. As soon as | ceased taking
it, |, like the rest, was afflicted with
chills. When | resumed its use, l
was all right again. We have used
it in our family as an antidote for ma
laria poison for two or three years,
and have never known it to fail in a
single instance. W. C. FURLow.

A Cripple Restored.

Some two years ago | received a
boy (Lona White into the Orphans
Home, near Macon, from Columbus.
He was one of the poorest creatures
| have ever seen-nothing but skin
and bone-crippled and deformed by
Scrofula, which had attended him
from his birth. About eighteen
months ago | commenced giving him
Swift's Specific. After several bot
ties had been taken and no visible
results to be seen, | began to despair,
but continued the medicine. At last
signs of improvement in both body
and mind. He is now about four
teen years old, and is one of the
brightest boys | have ever known. l
honestly believe that he will ulti-
mately outgrow the effects of this
loathsome disease under the influence
of Swift's Specific.
The two cases of erysipelas which
were treated some two years ago with
S. s. S. show no symptoms of return
of the disease. L. B. PAYNE,

Knoxville people are still Dragging
about the hog killed in that city some
days ago, which weighed | ,205 pounds,

the hay scales at 800 pounds when
he was exported from the Old Domin-
