BAT for that enterprising city. Five
years ago Birmingham possessed only
3056 inhabitants, while at the grevions
census it had no existence whatever.
This rapid increase of 600 per cent.
in five years has seldom been eaualed
in this country, except upon the from
tier; there has certainly been nothing
like it in the older States such as Ala
bama. Should 1t keep up for the re-
mainder of the decade Birmingham
would have population of over 14o,-
900, which is ont of all question.
There have been but few enGmera
tions made in the South Of late, only
in Florida, and scattered cities here
and there; but whenever made these
eensuses have shown an even more
rapid growth than the startling in
crease in population in the South that
marked the period between 1870 and
1880. There is everything to prove
that despite the progress Of Dakota,
Minnesota and the Northwest, the
centre of population is still moving
steadily Southwark.

This is to certify that having used
Dr. G. H. Tichenor's Antiseptic Re
frigerant over one year find it to do
more than represented. And do most
cheerfnlly state that in my opinion it
has no equal for the Surgeon and
Gynecologyst. That when and wher-
ever properly used, will verify all that
could be desired. In twenty-five years
of constant and steady practice and
observation have found nothing to
compare to it; l do most heartily re-
commend it to the profession, feeling
confident after a fair and impartial
trial none will discard or refuse to
use it. Furthermore l would state l
have nc interest pecuniary or other
wise in its sale or manufacture.

The Democracy of Louisiana vii
doubtless be pleased to read the fol.
lowing from Washington special to
the TimeS-DemOcrut. 'sSenator Glib,
son expresses a preference for Sena.
tor Sherman for acting Nice-President,
1t would be strange thing to see Mr..
Sherman succeed Mr.. Hendricks in
chair of which he assisted to de-
prive him in 1876, and by juggling

elected by the Democratic party of
Louisiana, of being the most inveter-
ate enemy of the Southern people.
Our Senior Senator has led so many
'Trojan horses" into the Federal
Offices in Louisiana, that staunch
Democrats were entitled to, that he
could well afford to help Senator
Sherman into Vice-President Hend-
ricks' Observation-Disclosures.
