4 Brilliant" Man

The following is fro the gossip Of
Man About Town" in the New York
STAR As I was walking up Broadway
one day last week with a friend Of mine,
who is a prominent physician-that is,
he has been lucky enough 10 catch on to
a practice among wealthy people, ex-
changed mods with an equally prominent
and wealthy contractor.
DO you know that man. inquired
the physician, after he passed.
Yes said I, "he's rich man, and
the iolliest fellow at a dinner party, the
best raconteur in any company You ever
aw
Very brilliant, is he? 2
brilliant isn't strong enough to ex-
press it. said J.
'Do you know where his brilliancy
comes from p inquired the doctor.
What fool question that is, said l.
why, from his natural activity of brain
and vivacity of spirits"
You're wrong, said my professional
companion. ITS all due to morphine
Morphine? He take morphine said
l. incredulously.
yes. He's a slave to it. He'd be
raving maniac if deprived of it for day.

II can't believe it, said I,
The doctor offered to prove it if 1
would meet him the next day at one of
the big drug stores up Broadway. | went
at the hour stated, and was concealed
with the doctor in dark room back of
the Office At precisely 3 o'clock in the
afternoon, as had been predicted. my
friend, the contractor, appeared and pur-
chased the morphine. Stepping into the
Office he took off his over and under
coats, rolled up his shirt sleeves and pre-
pared to inject the poison with a syringe.
His arm was covered with scars.

AN AGED BAPTIST MINISTER.
Two Moro Imnortant Gases.


Your agent being in Columbus, Ga, a few
days ago, and meeting the venerable brother
;; II. Campbell We asked MIN Tor the news.
His reply was, Il have two more important
cures effected by sjwift's Specific to report"
This venerable man is known far and wide for
his unrenitting labors of love in the behalf of
the poor of Columbus. 1t will be remember
ed that the Swift Specific Co. has donated
quite an amount of their famous medicine. to
be distributed by Mr.. Campbell among the
poor OF the city; hence his remark He said:
i have just seen lady who has been great
ly annoyed by letter in one of her hands. It
had given her much trouble and pain. She
said she had been treated by several physi-
clans during the past three or fOEr years with
the old remedies. but without giving any re-
lief. suggested Swift's Specific and she took
TOUR oottIes ana IS now apparently perfectly
well her hand IS smooth, and not single sign
of the disease IS left. 1t is marvellous how this
medicine renOvates the SYSTEM
What about the other case -
well, that was a lady also. She had been
badly affected with eczema for four years
were covered with sores and scabs. 1t was
one of the worst cases of this terrible disease
that have ever seen. The suffering of this
poor creature was beyond expression. She
tried every remedy at hand, including mercu-
ry and iodide Of potash, but she only grew
worse, She was in this condition when | first
saw the case. 1 soon had her taking Swift's
Specific, and she has now only taken two bot
ties, but every mark of the disease has almost
entirely disappeared. Her general health has
greatly improved. 1t is one of the most re-
markable cures that has come under my no.
tice, and in ministry of sixty years L have
mingled with every class Of society and OBJ
served closely the variety of diseases which
affect humanity. Blood diseases are the most
numerous and the most difficult to remove.
To overcome these diseases, it is my deliberate
judgment that Swift's Specific is the grandeSt
blood purifier ever discovered. Its effects are
wonderful, and consider them almost mirac-
ulous. There is no medicine comparable to it, -

now GALLEY SLAVES LABOR.
The Australian Convict System and
It's Barbarities.

Athenpum.
The gang of galley slaves was seated
in close order on benches covered with
coarse sacking rudely stuffed, over which
were thrown bullocks' hides. Five or six
Of them occupied bench ten or eleven
feet long. To a footboard beneath each
man was attached by chain ending in
an iron band, riveted round one OF his
ankles. The benches were SO close to
gether that, as one row of them pushed
forward their oar, the arms and oar of
the row behind were projected over their
Bonded backs. The size and weight of
the car were so great that, except at the
end where it was teperod to a managea-
bic size, it was necessary to work it by
handles fixed to the side.
The slaves were overlooked by the
boatswain. His place was on the gang
way, close to the sternmost oar, where
he was at all times within hearing Of the
orders Of the Captain Along the gang
way. at regular intervals, his mate and
the driver were posted, so that the con-
! duet Of each slave was under inspection.
} The oars were put in motion or stopped
By the sound of a silver whistle worn by
the boatswain, who, with his mates, was
armed with heavy whip Of bulls sinew
to stimulate the exertions of the slaves.
When it was necessary to continue the
labor for many hours without respite,
they would administer, in addition to the
lash. nlorsels Of bread stepped in wine.
which they put in the mouths of the
men as they rowed. If, in spite of these
precautions, a slave sank from fatigue,
he was whipped until it was evident that
no further work was to be obtained from
him, and then thrown either into the
hold. where, among bilge water and filth
he had a chance Of recovering his con
sciousness, or, if his case appeared des
perate, into the sea.

Almost a Miracle!
A REMARKABLE STORY.

few days ago a gentleman of high stand
ing in Atlanta met DR.. J. Bradtield on the
street, and related the following, in which all
ladies are deeply interested:
For the past eighteen months my wife has
been an invalid, caused from womb trouble,
cessation of menses, etc, and have tried ev-
erything could hear of in the way of medi-
cine, and have had several OF our best physi-
clan attending her, to one of whom, calling
him by name) paid one hundred and sixty
three dollars. Instead of improving or get
ting any relief, she gradually grew worse, and
/ had almost give up hope. and really did
not believe she would ever get up from an in
yalid'S bed; but friend of mine who knew of
the case suggested the use of
BradfisId's Female Regulator,
and although he stated that he knew of a sim
liar case being cured by it, and endorsed it
himself, / was so discouraged | did not believe
it would do her any good: but as a last resort
l bought large bottle of it, and she began
taking it, and from the very first a marked
change took place. She begun to improve
rapidly, her appetite returned, her whole sys-
tenn was guilt up, and to-day she is as well
and sound as ever in her life, and | am under
lifelong obligations to you and your remedy,
for it undoubtedly saved her life and he adj
ded, Il wish every lady in the world so af-
tlicted would try it, as know it will cure
them.

Etiquette ia Virginia.

A correspondent of the New York
Mail and Express says: 1.-The Virgin
ians lose a good deal of that worthless
commodity, time, in the observance
of the most remarkable code of Ell.
ouette ever invented. 1t used to be,
and in q measure is still, considered
the height of rudepess for one person
in driving to pass another person on
the road! It Will be seen at a glance
the result of this system. The slowest
coach on the road could keep all the
others behind 1t. Il will also be seen
that time and distance were relatively
of no Importance. Even now, when
Virginia has been hustled and jostled
along in that great movement called
progress, the people yet apologize
when they pass each other on the
road. It has also been alleged that q
really high bred Virginian never so
far forgets etiquette as to inquire OF
stranger where he was from, because
the stranger might be forced to &C.
knowledge that he was from some
other state than Virginia. and it was
only charity to spare him this morti :
flying admission. 1t is holly dis
puted point, and has been for the last
200 years. whether a guest spending
the night with his host should make
the move to go to bed, or whether the
host should. The opposing sides on
this momentous question were taken
by two ancient cavaliers in these parts.
At Eagle Point the host always pro
posed to go to bed, and at Warner
Hall the host invariably waited for
the guest to advance the proposition.
One night it came to a test. The
master of Eagle Point went over to
Warner Hall to spend the night.
Midnight came. Both host and guest
rmained politely oblivious of the
flight of time. Oae by one the fam~
lily and other guests dropped off. Still
the two old gentlemen sat up and cons
versed amicabJy, and were evidently
prepared to die in the last ditch for
their principles of etiquette. The
whole night passed. They replenish~
ed the fire and the candles, but never
alluded to the going -tobed question.
At daylight the next morning when
the darby came in to make the fire,
there sat the two old Troians; CONVEX
sation had never tagged, and they
were still hard at it. It was one of
those rare tests which satisfies both
parties, as each was never tired of tell
ling how he got the better of his adj
versary, and forced him to sit up all
night rather than yield an iota OF
principle, It would be a mistake to
think that these harmless peculiarities
keep the Virginians from being agree
able. On the contrary, they are sin
galarly courteous. considerate and
without angles. The strict attention
they pay to the small, sweet courtesies
Of life is wonderfully quaint and de-
lightful after the hurry Of life.

A Human Ffend.
A Description of the Burmese Emperor-Sanger
Mano.
ed.

7 suppose that there is not IN the
whole world a monarch SO deseotic as
the Burmese emperor. He is consid>
cred. by himself and others, as abso>
lutte lord of the lives, properties and
personal services of bis subjects; he
exalts and depresses, confers, and
takes away honor and rank; and,
without any process of law, can put to
death not only criminal guilty Of cap
itai offenses, but any Individual who
happens to incur his displeasure. 1t
is here a perilous thing for person
to become distinguished for wealth
and possessions; for the day may cas-
ily come when he will be charged with
some supposed CRIME, and SO put to
death, in order that his property may
be confscated. Every subject is the
emperor's born slave; and when he
calls any one his slave, he thinks
thereby to do him honor. To express
their sense of this subsection, all who
approach him are obliged to PROSTATE
themselves before him, holding their
hands joined above their heads Hence
also, he considers himself entitled to
employ his subjects in any work or
service, without salary or pay, and II
he makes them any recompense, 1t is
done not from any sense OF justice,
but as an act of county. Their goods
likewise. and even their persons, are
reputed his property, and on this
ground it is that he selects for his con-
cubine any female that may chance to
meet his eye.
The possessions of all who die with
out heirs belong to the king, as do
those of foreigners who have not mar.
ried IN tAe country, Tor they are not
allowed dispose of them, not even
in favor of their illegitimate children.
Although despotism in its
worst form constitutes. as it were, the
very essence of the Burmese mon
archy, SO that to be called its king is
equivalent TO being called tyrant
still has Badonsachen Casually referred
to now as Bodaw Payah,) the despot
who for the last 81 years has governed
this kingdom, SO far outstripped his
predecessors in barbarity and pride
der with horror. His very counter
ance is the index Of mind ferocious
and inhuman ia the highest degree
Immense is the number of those whom
he has sacrificed to his ambition upon
the most trivial of ofenses; and il
would not be al exaggeration TO asser
that during bis reign more victim!
have fallen by the hand of the execu'
toner than by the sword of the com
mon enemy. To this atrocious cruelty
he has united pride at once intoler
able and impious.
