The Editors Last Half-Dollar.

The following story is told of James
r. Randall, the editor of the Augusta
(Ga.) Chronicle: He attended one
day colored church in the country,
and had in his pocket a silver half
dollar, just the fare back to Augusta.
AT the conclusion of his sermon the
minister ordered a collection for his
own benefit. "Of course" said he,

Cure Your Cough.

A cough should not be neglected,
as it often leads to consumption. For
the cure of all lung disorders no rem
edy will compare to "Mansfeld's
Hungarian Balsam for the Lungs"
Thousands have been cured by it,
physicians prescribe it, and it is the
king of all lung medicines. If you
have consumption, try tit has
cured thousands. A few doses heals
and cures, as many certificates testify.
Ask your druggist for it. Prepared

Frozen apples may be restored by
putting them in ice water. They
thaw out very slowly and are unin-
jured. When frozen in bulk, cover
them up with blankets, carpets, or
sacks to keep out the air, and let
them remain. The thawing out will
be gradual, and the fruit will be I'M
injured. Sudden changes from cold
to warm win soften frozen apples and
destroy them. Gradual thawing,
when frozen, leaves the apples in as
good condition as they were before
freezing. This winter make note OF
this.

but that he was losing his mind. He
would sit around the room tor hours at
q time and never utter word, and was
constantly counting the fingers upon his

A Sensible View.

The following Is from the Buffalo
Courier, a Democratic paper:
A little more common sense and q lit
tie less chivalry would be advisable. Jeff
Davis is not a hero, and the man who
persists in regarding him az one makes
an ass Of himself. The President of the
late Confedsracy. as far as we knew, new
or uttered broad and generous senti-
ment in his life and never did great
deed. He was the official head of the re-
bellion, and as such did much to facili.
tate the conquest of the south. He was
nearly driving StOAewall Jackson out of
the southern army by his impairment
interference, and he precipitated the
downfall of the COnfederacy by super
sodiHg Joe Johnston and leaving the
path to the sea open to Sherman. He
was intense and bitter, but never wise
and strong during the civil war; he be-
eamo almSst ridiculous Mt the close OF It.
and since then he has done everything
that Law in his power to rstard the prog.
rsss Of tho south, keep alive the animOsi'
ty Of the north, and prevent thsrough
National harmony. The southern Sen
ators should know all this and have
sense enough not to identify themselves
further than is necessary with jeff Da
Wis. There are southern heroes even Of
the rebslliOus era that the northern pso
Die admire but they Ssspise the Presi-
dent OF the late COnfederacy, and thsl
have little patience with anybody tina
