Disinterested Warning.

Mobile Register.
If Geronimo and few dozen warriors
can keep part of Mexico, and portions Of
Arizona and New Mexico, in a state
of alarm, was it not somewhat imprudent
to send forty or fifty Apaches to St. A :
gustine, Florida? 1t is the custom of
The troops always to let the Apaches es-
cape, and some fine morning these re-
doubtable warriors will walk of with the
scalps and back hair OF a number of
Florida's leading people. We think it
our duty to sound this note of warning.
AS for ourselves we feel safe. If the
Apaches reach Mobile the COWS in the
streets will engage their attention, to
the exclusion of all things else, thus Civ
ing the police board time to issue proc
lamation, and the first regiment time tc
rally.

The new combination of Smart Weed and
Belladonna, as used in Carter's Backache
Plasters has proved to be one of the best
that could be made. Try one of these pop
ular plasters in any case of weak or lame
back, backache, rheumatism, neuralgia,
soreness of the chest or lungs, &C., and you
will be surprised and pleased by the prompt
relief. In bad cases of chronic dyspepsia, a
plaster over the pit of the stomach stops the
pain at once. Ask for Carter's Smart Weed
and Belladonna Backache Plasters. Price

A Sad Case of Poisoning

is that of any man or woman afflicted with
disease or arrangement of the liver, result
ing in poisonous accumulations in the blood,
scrofulous affections, sick headaches, and
diseases of the kidneys, lungs, or heart.
These troubles can be cured only by going
to the primary cause, and putting the liver
in healthy condition. To accomplish this
result speedily and effectually nothing has
proved itself so eficacious as DR.. Plerce's
Golden Medical Discovery" which has
never failed to do the work claimed for 1t,
and never will.

A BIGGER MAN THAN OLD GRANT.


Fate Of the Unfortunate Texan Who Made
Use of the Expression.
A Dallas, Texas, correspondent of the
Cleveland Leader writes: Everybody
remembers how, five or six years ago,
one Fitz Hugh, of Texas, received an
appointment as assistant doorkeeper
in the democratic house, and that let
ter said to have been written by him to
a friend in Texas was found containing
the statement that the writer thereof was
ga bigger man than old Grant" The
boys in newspaper row got hold of it,
and, being time when news was lit
tie dull, they made the most of it. In
less than a week Fitz Hugh, of Texas,
was name familiar to the readers of
every country paper in the land. Thou
sands of people who did not know where
Dallas was, with it's $4,000 inhabitants,
and indeed had never heard of 1t, knew
something about one of it's modest and
scholarly citizens, simply because he
spelled it ''biger."
A few days ago by accident, I made
the acquaintance of this "Biger man
than old Grant," and found that he was
gentlemanly, pleasant fellow, and that
he had been surveyor, and, moreover,
knew how to spell correctly. From the
venerable Mr.. Norton, the-man-who-
wouldn't his hair shave till Clay
was president, I learned he facts in
the incident that made Fitz Hugh for a
few days at least, "biger man than old
Grant"
Although democrat, Fitz Hugh was
a gentleman, a good citizen, and besides
fair scholar. Devoted to his party and
the time-honored principles of jackson
SO easy for the average democrat to grasp
and comprehend that is expressed in the
monosyllable, spoils, Fitz Hugh armed
himself with credentials and journeyed
to Washington. He failed to get wha
he thought he deserved as a reward for
party services, but he got something,
and was happy. He was especially JOY
GUS to find that he was one of the chos-
en- few, and looked complacently down
on the hundreds of disgruntled demo-
Gratis who had failed to secure appoint
ments. He saw that he was not one of
the 'innumerable throng that moves to
the pale realms of-mugwumpery, but
he was on the payroll of the house.
Being somewhat pressed by creditor
for 500 past due, Fitz Hugh wrote
facetious, and what he intended to be a
conciliatory letter, stating that he would
pay in month or SO, and in joking
spirit wrote himself down not only like
Dogberry, an ass, but "a bigger man than
old Grant," whereupon his creditor, be-
ing angry about not getting the money,
gave the letter to the public, or sent it
to Washington, which was just the same,
and thus Texas added one more noted
name to her cowboy pianists and "What-
are-we-here-for? Flanagans. So much
was said about it that Fitz Hugh lost his
place. The democratic leaders who
could stand the charge and proof and
shame of ballot-box stuffing, also the
pleasant pastime of killing score or
more of colored men in each congress
sional district in Mississippi every cam
paign, couldn't stand the ignominy of
Doorkeeper Fitz Hugh's joke, so they
turned him out to keep their party free
from stain.
