For the benefit of suffering humanity, and in
heartfelt gratitude at the wonderful results,
deem it only my duty to give this unsolicited
testimony in favor of Swi fits Specific. My wlfe
has been afflicted with hereditary Eczema or
salt Rheum from her infancy it has increased
in intensity with each succeeding spring, and
being somewhat skilled in medicine myself, L
tried every remedy could think of for years
Sarsaparilla combined with every form OF PO-
tassie, "Cuticura," pills Of every kind, and hum
dreds of other remedies, lotions and alkali wash
es Of every known kind, but they all gave only
temporary relief During the spring OF 1854 her
that she was obliged to keep them constantly
coated with a covering of "Fullers Earth,'
mixed wet and allowed to dry on Among oth-
er things, she was afflicted with periodical ner-
vous headache, occurring regularly every seven
days, sometimes followed by intermittent fever
for weeks at time, so that her life became
burden to her.
This Spring determined she should take S:
S. S. and follow strictly the directions in regard
to dose, diet etc. This was about seven weeks
ago. After taking the first large bottle the dis
ease seemed to increase the burning, itching and
Inflammation became unbearable. She, howeV-
er, persevered in the use of the medicine. After
taking the second bottle the Inflammation began
to subsde. After taking the third bottle the in
tlammation disappeared, and sore spots dried up
and turned white and scaly and finally she brush
ed them off in an impalpable white powder re-
semblng pure salt. She is now taking the slXth
bottle, three tablespoonful four times daily. Ev-
ery appearance of the disease has gone, and her
flesh is becoming soft, white and smooth again {;
and what is more, her periodical headaches have
disappeared, and she is now at 50 years OF age,
enjoying the only good health she has known for
upwards of forty years. No wonder she declares
with emphasis that every bottle of S. s: S. is
worth a thousaad times its weight in gold.
ANY further information in regard to her case
will be cheerfully given by herself at ner resi-
dedce, l35 Mulett Street, or by me.

A NEGRO's INGENIOUS PLEA.--Three
years ago Zeb Parker, negro, robbed the
Store of G.. L. Smathers, at Pigeon Valley,
Haywood county, n. c., of 81 800 in money,
nearly all that amount being in silver.
Parker was caught and convicted, and SEN
fenced to thirty months imprisonment at
hard labor. 1t was known that he had dis
posed of the money, and unsuccessful at
tempts were made to induce him to disclose
it's hiding place. He was taken to Western
North Carolina and has worked out his SEN
tence. His term expired three weeks ago.
When he was discharged Mr. Smathers
shadowed him, and, after being home
week he was followed into a mountain,
where he was seen to take something from
under large rock. He was arrested and
searched, and $25 in silver was found on his
person, and the remainder of the money
was found under the rock. Parker insisted
that, because of his Imprisonment, the
money belonged to him, and cited the case
of negro who, while going to be baptized,
stole an axe and hid it in the sand, and,
after baptism, said his sins were forgiven
and the axe was his property. Smathers
took the money and Parker has left the
neighborhoOd.

THE NEGRO,S FUTURE.

The Atlanta Journal publishes an inter-
view with ex-senator Robert Toombs on
the future of the negro. He says his speech
on slavery in fremont Temple, Boston, is as
true to-day as it was then and will be for all
time. The negro race is an inferior race.
He was so created and if God had not in
tended to make him inferior to the white
man he would never have created him
black. All history shows him incapable OF
governing himself and he cannot. therefore,
govern countries nor anything else. He
ty in this world, and his best and only prop
er field is in tlling the soil. Speaking of
him as race, he says the position OF Rev.
DR.. Hagood, that the two races must rise or
fall together, is very foolish. The negro
race is dependent on the white race for ev-
erything. Hedoes not think they can be ed
ucated. 1t will be found in the end that
the negro as a race is uneducatiOnable.
He says the negro race of the South will
not colonze. He says the best place for
them is in the South among their friends.
They will stay here for they are we'll treat
ed and are as submissive and obedient as
ever. He says education is increasing crime
among them. A negroi is out of his element
at the black board. His natural home is
the cotton patch and the plow. There he
has always done best, and there he will al
ways do best.
10 the question of the Journal represen-
tative as to the danger of a war of races,
General Toombs said there was not par
ticle of danger. The negro knows his place
and will keep it. He was led astray polit-
ically at the South, but he drifted back
and now votes right. Those who get a lit
tie uppish socially will fall back into place
all right when they find it will never do to
try to place themselves on level with the
whites.
AS to the future of the negro race in the
South, he said, it is the plainest thing in the
world. He will die out. He is dying now.
think l ought to understand the census.
I have studied it enough. I tell you it is
being falsely interpreted by certain people
in this country. The negro is dying out.
AS race he is bound to die out. That is
what will become of him. 1t is the history
of all inferior races. And here is the broad
distinction. The negro race is scrub race.
The white race is thoroughbred race. In
time the scrubs are bound to die out, but the
thoroughbreds live on and procreate the
species. 1t is law of God and cannot
change.

EXPLAINING SOME TH1NGs;-The world
learns geography and many other things by
means of war. Many of the changes that
have been wrought in society have been due
to knowledge and prejudices acquired or re-
moved through years of conflict. If Russia
and England conclude to settle the Eastern
question once for all on the boundaries of
Afghanistan, we shall presently be as famil-
lar with the little satrapies of that far dis
tant region as we thought ourselves learned
on surgical terms when President recent
ly lay at the point of death. For the infor-
nation of all such as have a desire to post
themselves in advance, it may be said that
the Nizan of Hyderbad is an old lop-eared
despot who has seven hundred wives and
who slices up mother-in-law every time
he wants to celebrate; that the Akoond of
Swat died few years ago, but that the
throne is now held by the Swipes of Swat,
who will rule until the young AkoOnd comes
out of the bullrushes; that the Begun of
Bopul is a fat old woman weighing about
three hundred pounds, who fed her husband, ,
the Bildum OF Bopul, to crocodile about
ten years ago because he refused to split
wood for breakfast, and that the Mudir OF
Abdurramah is the uncle of the Begun

Louisville and Nashville Railroad, hnlshed
unearthing case recently that turned
out to be one of the coolest and most dellber-
ate attempts ever made to get damages
from railroad company. In addition to
this, the unraveling of the conspiracy devel-
oped an attempt of man and wife TO per-
petrate most fiendish outrage, and cause
the sacrifice of their own child in order to
get grounds on which to sue the railroad
company.
After the engineer of passenger train re-
ported to Major Geddes on Friday night
that he had nearly run over colored boy
near the tunnel on the Decatur division
of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad on
that day, who seemed desirous of commit
ting suicide, the Superintendent referred
the matter to Mr.. F. Lester, the station
agent of Lester Station, which is near the
tunnel. Major Geddes' letter was returned
with the following Endorsement by MIR.
Lester:
There is negro living near the mouth OF
the tunnel who has about ten children.
They agreed that one of their number
should sit down on the track and be killed
by passenger train No. 2, so that the moth
er could recover from the railroad company
money as damages with which to raise the
balance of the family. One of the children
agreed to die, and they went down the
road short distance, and the one who had
consented to die got on the track and sat
there until the passenger train came along
to within about ten feet, when the child be-
came frightened and jumped off. The
mother whipped the child severely, al
though it persisted in telling her that she
was going to die for her benefit.-Nashvlue

A BAD PLACE FOR CHRIsTIANs.-Fo
merly when Persian Mahometan killed
Christian he was fined SIS. Now he has to
pay $50 for the same privilege. If a Ma
honmetan can capture a Christian girl and
convert her to his religion, when her father
dies he inherits his property to the exclu-
sion of all other heirs. This causes a great
run after the daughters of rich Christians,
even when they are not pretty. If Ma
hometan, when out walking, meets Christ
ian on horseback, the latter has to surren-
der his steed and allow the follower of the
Prophet to ride to his destination.

FEDERAL LOSSES IN WAR.-The adju-
tant general of the United States army has
completed his list of casualties in the Fed
eral army during the late war. The ag-
gregate number of deaths is shown to have
been 359,496, of which 29,4O8 occurred
among soldiers held as prisoners of war.
The total number of troops reported as fur
nished by the various States under the va
rious calls is 2,772,4OS, though some of the
returns were duplicated, it is estimated
that the actual number was about ., 100000.
Compare these figures with those of the
Confederate army and the relative intrepid
ity of the two forces will be strikingly ap-
parent.

A PENNY FOR His LIFE.-I remember
upon one occasion that Boyton was called
upon by the frantic cries for help. of a man
who had got beyond his depth, and plunged
into the breakers, followed by surf-boat.
The treacherous undertow, setting strongly
seaward, had caught the unfortunate swim
mer, and he was being rapidly carried out
of the reach of assistance. Boyton seized
him just as he was about to sink for the last
time, and hauled him aboard the boat. The
man was utterly exhausted and it was near
ly an hour before he was fully restored; he
took off his bathing suit dressed himself,
and then, with rare magnanimity, took
from his vest pocket fifty cent note (silver
half dollars were not as plentiful then as
now) and handed it to Boyton saying:
II owe you my life, sir, and l hope you
will call on me whenever you want favor.
Take this money and treat yourself and as
sistants to good stiff drink. You certain
ly must be chilled through"
Boyton is of Irish extraction andas quick
witted as Philpot Curran:
81 think you have made mistake, " he
said. "You put too much value upon your
life. Permit me to give you your change;"
and before the crest-fallen miser knew what
to reply, Boyton had thrust into his hand
forty-nine cents in pennies, three-cent
pieces and ten-cent notes. II will keep this
note as a souvenir of the value of human
life," said Paul, coolly putting it into his
pocket. He has it to this day.
