Frightful Case OF Z ColOred Man.

I contracted a fearful ease of
blood poison III 1883. l was treat
ed by some of the best physicians
in Atlanta. They used the old rem
edies of Mercury and Potash, which
brought on rheumatism and im
paired my digestive organs. Every
joint in me was swollen and full of
pain. When | was given up to die,
my physicians thought it would be
a good time to test the virtues OF
Swift's Specific. When l com
menced taking s. s. S. the physi
clan said I could not live two weeks
under the ordinary treatment. He
commepced to give me the medi
cine strictly according to directions,
which l continued for several
months. / took nothing else, and
commenced to improve from the
very first. Soon the rheumatism
le1t me, ny appetite became Jail
right, and tue ulcers, which the
doctor said were tue most frightful
he had ever seen, began to heal,
aud by the first Of October, 1884, 1
was a we'll man again. l am strong
er now than l ever was before, and
weigh more. S. S. S. has saved
me from an early grave.

There was q time when the Abo
litlon party was ridiculed, hooted
at aud prosecuted in every possible
way. 1t kept on the even tenor Of
its way, aud gradually received &C
cessions, until it achieved q com
plete triumph. The prohibition
party has met with the same treat
ment, but it is increasing more aud
more, year by year, and who knows
but what it is destined to triumph
in the same manner as the anti sla

that its members are terribly in

every influence in their power, to
reach the consummation so devout
" wished by them.

UCllUlOus
A fellow named Dooling lately
emigr,Ied from the North to the
town of JamesbOro, Georgia. He
talked very glibly about the way in
which negroes were deprived OF
their rights ; it was his intention
probably to rectify that matter,
and have those lost rights restored
to the original owners.
One day he was driving out into
the country when he came in o
tact with a wagon, driven by a ne
gro, named Nose.
Dooling's buggy lost a wheel ;
he demanded another from Nose,
that Nose could not get.
Dooling drew his pistol on Nose,
and made him unload himself Of
his coat and vest. Taking the.e
he told Nose to meet him in town
next day, pay for the broken wheel
and redeem his clothes.
Nose went into town prepared to
do so, bnt Dooling did not appear.
Nose, after scratching his head,
was suddenly struck by an idea,
and, as court was in session, he
went before the Grand Jury to
which body he related his grievan
ces. The consequence was, that
Dooliug was arrested. tried for rob
berry, and sent to the penetentiary.
for two years, no regard whatever
being paid to lost privileges OF the
negro.

WHY Clerk joyce Weakened.

Columbus Special to Cleveland Leader.
The county canvassing board met at P. NJ,
to further consider the Thirteenth fraud.
Before they met. however, they had canvassed
the public sentiment and found the danger"
sign up all along the line. Not only this, but
some of County Clerk Joyces bondsmen had been
doing missionary work with him during the ad-
journment, in such an emphatic manner that
Mr. Joyce was not nearly as anxious to throw
out the vote Of the ward as he was before the
adjournment One of these bondsmen, who is
wealthy and relative, said that the fraud was
so apparent that if Joyce did not right it all the
bondsmen would ask the court to relieve them,
they could not afford to have their names

of the most badheaded political steals that was
ever attempted in the State. Such talk had it's

Fatal Accident ou Board a Tug.

DETROIT, Oct 20-Yesterday afternoon,
while the Moffat-lne tug Admiral d. Porter was
bound down, on Lake Huron, with two schooners
in tow, about ten miles from Port Huron, her
crank-pin broke and the piston crashed through
the cylinder, completely wrecking that portion
of the machinery. The bolts which held the
engine frame to the floor of the hold were also
snapped by the sudden jar, permitting the heavy
frame to vibrate. This caused the supply pipe
to break off close to the steam dome, and in an
instant the tug was enveloped in cloud of
csc aping steam and hot water. VIM. Kirbley
the cook, was in his room. adjoining the engine
room. and opened the door to see what was the
matter. He was dashed to the floor by the rush
ing vapor and remained there until the boiler
was emptied Of its contents. When carried on
deck he was still alive but died in a few min
utes Thomas Arfnetta, the second engineer
was in the FIRE hole at the time Of the accident
and was also badly scalded about the face and
neck John Norton the chief engineer had a
narrow escape. The door of his room. which
was slightly ajar, was closed by the concussion
and he climbed through the sky-light to the deck
The disabled tug and her tow were picked up by
the tug Crusader and towed to Port Huron
