PALM ER'S LIVER PILLS.

We doubt if there ever has been placed Liver Pills for the cure of Biliousness. Bilious, Sick and Nervous Headaches, Chronic Constipation, Dyspepsia, Mala- ria, Chills and Fever, Dizziness, Distress After Eating, Bad Taste in the Mouth. Liver Complaint, Nausea, Piles, Diseases Incidental to Woman, Indigestion, De pression of Spirits; Purifying, Enriching and Vitalizing the Blood and Restoring and Renovating the whole system.
 NEW HAVEN, CONN.
 have never found in all my practice, any Liver Pills of so great value as Palm CTS Liver Pills for the treatment of Bilious ness, Bilious Headache, Malaria, Liver Complaint, Chronic Constipation and all disorders caused by bilious state of the system. They are entirely unlike all other Pills, and are marvel to all who use them- DR. l. 5. MILLER.
 These Pills are not Quack or Pat eHt Medicine, but have great Medicinal Virtue and Power. So eminently sue cessful have they been, that our best physicians and most worthy citizens furn- ish us with testimonials of cures effected, which seem miraculous and would hardly be believed, were it not for the abundance of proof and it's unquestionable reliability. Ask for Palmers Liver Pills, and if your druggist does not keep them, don't allow hin to put off on you any other Pills that contain Mercury or Morphine, which they say will answer equally as We'll, but insist upon taking no other but Palmer's and your druggist will get them for you.

Death of John Aiken.

After a long suffering illness, Mr..
John Aiken passed away at an early
hour yesterday morning. He has been
a citizen of V~icksburg since the war,
in which he took a gallant part, as q
member of the famous Swett's Battery
His death was not unexpected, for his
health has been failing for several
months. Mr.. Aiken was born
and raised in the city of Phil.
adelphia, where an aged mother
will weep for her only son
He came out of the army and located
in this city, and married a daughter Of
Mr.. Mcclure, lately deceased. In al
his transactions there was no trueI
nan than John Aiken. He loved hi.
family, and his epitaph will be,
Here lies a man who had no enemy"
The funeral will take place from St
Paul's Catholic church, of which Mr.,
Aiken was a devoted member, at 8
o'clock to-day.

The Almighty Dollar
CAPITAL VERSUS MERIT.

1t is possible that money dipped into a boun-
teOus supply of printers ink, is to be used to
teach false ideas.
Why is that such persistent anathemas should
all at once be hurled against the use of potash
and Potash mixtures?"
Those who insist that Potash is q poison do so
because that is the way they nave of lighting b
B. B., as the latter contains potash properly
combined.
Opium, morphine, strychnine, acOnite, whisky,
etc., are all de dly poisOns, and are daily de-
stroying the lives Of people, and why do not
these men cry out against them? 1t is because
there is no money in sight to do so. Iodide of
Potash, in proper combination, is regarded by
the medical profession as the quickest, grand
est and most powerful blood remedy ever known
to man. Those who believe in revealed com
binations and Indian foolishness are surely in
a condition to become rather cranky" in their
ideas at any time. We assert Understandings
that Potash, as used in the manufacture of b. b.
B., is not a poison, and the public need not place
any confidence in assertions to the contrary
Why is it that in one thousand letters which we
receive we never hear a word against its use?
The truth is, b.. b. b. is working such wonders in
the cure of ali blood poisons, s~crofUla, rheuma-
tism, catarrh, etc, that others are trembling in
their boots, and cry aloud, "poison, y fraud, -
because they fear its triumphant march. Let
any mar CT woman ask any respectable doctor
or druggists if we are not right. DO not be de-
ceived, but go right along and call for B. B. B.,
and be cured. 1t is making five times more
cures in Atlanta than all other blood remedies
combined. We don { say that others are pois-
ons or frauds; we are not easily alarmed, but
we say ours is the best, and we have the proof.

singular Attempt at suicide.

CHICAGO, Nov. 25-A woman named
Libbie Blow, occupying rooms in the
rear of No. SAB South Clark street,
attempted suicide at 1890 o'clock this
morning by firing her clothes, which
she had saturated with kerosene oil.
Her screams were heard by a police
man. He saw flames in the house
and ran through a narrow passage.
The woman enyeloped in fire tried to
run by him into the open air, but he
threw her to the floor and smothered
the fire with his clothing. The furni-
ture and carpeting caught fire, but the
officer extinguished the blaze with a
few buckets of water and sent the
woman to the county hospital. She
wa badly burned and will die.

Society at the Circus.

A Washington letter says:--W ednes-
day was particularly busy day, for
good many Of the Cabinet ladies received
on that afternoon and there was q circus
In the evening. OF course the circus
was greater attraction than the recep-
tions. for they are an event Of every

only semi. occasionally. 1t is strange TO
note the sort Of people you see at the
circus In Washington. Everybody goes.
It is no uncommon thing 10 see Cabinet
officers with their families, heads Of

dent himself, though on this occasion
the President stayed at home. Wash

ace which Is given them. II seems to

than il the presence Of q few hundred

On the monument erected to Krilof,
the Russian Hsop," Ii q bas relief
telling pictorially one Of his best fables,
that Of Fortune and the Beggar:''
A wretched beggar, carrying a ragged
old wallet, was creeping along from house
to house, and as he grumbled at his lot,
he kept wondering that folks who lived
Ia rich apartments, and were M to their
throats In money and in the sweets Of
indulgence, should be always unsatished,
however full their pockets might be, aud
that they should 60 so far as often to
lose ell they have, while unreasonably
craving for, and laying their hands on,
new riches.
''Here, for instance" he says, 'sthe
former master of this house succeeded
In trading prosperously, and made him.
self enormously rich by commerce. Bat
then, instead Of stopping aud handing
over his business to another, aud spend.
ing the rest OF his years in peace, he
took to equipping ships for the sea in
the spring. he expected to get noun
tains Of gold, but the ships we resmashed
and his treasures were swallowed up IN
the waves. Now they all lie at the bot
tom Of the sea, and he has found his
riches melt away like those in dreams.
Another man became one Of the farmers
Of the spirit tax, and so gained a mill
lion. That was q trihe; and he wanted to
double 1t. So he plunged up to his ears
In speculations, and was utterly ruined.
In short, instances Of this are countless.
And quite right, too--a man should use
discretion.
At this moment Fortune suddenly ap-
peared to the beggar and said: Listen
have long wished TO help you. Here
Is lot Of ducats have found. Hold
out your wallet, and will fill It with
them. but only on this condition: Ali
shall be gold that falls into the wallet;
but If any Of il falls ont Of the wallet to
the ground, it shall all become dust.
Consider this well. have warned you
beforehand. shall keep strictly to my
compact. Your wallet is old; don't over
load Il beyond its powers. ;"
Our beggar Is almost too overjoyed to
breathe. he scarcely feels the ground
beneath his feet. He opens his wallet,
and, with generous hand, q golden stream
Of ducats Is poured into 1t. The wallet
soon becomes rather heavy.
Us that enough?"
Not yet
'sIsn't IL cracking9"
Never fear.
Consider, you're quite Crosus."
'sJust q little more just add hand
full'
There, it's full. Take care-the wal
let Is going 10 burst
Just q little bit more.
But at that moment the wallet split;
tho treasure fell through, and turned TO
dust, and Fortune disappeared. The
baggar had nothing bnt his empty wallet,
and remained as poor as before.

Croker, and asked her mother for her,
bat the old lady was opposed to the

them with q present Of 500, 900, and
sent them of travelling. On their re-
turn, lately, she made them q present
