Sudden Changes.

If the body receives daily a proper
amount Of nutrition, and daily expels
the worn-out parts, health is the GER
tain consequence ; but by a sudden
change of weather, the pores Of the
skin may not perform their office well,
and matters are retained which should
have passed off by that avenue. All
cause which impede insensible pres
piration are fraught with danger, be-
cause matters which should have pass
ed away through the skin are returned
again into circulation. Brandreth's
Pills will remove all impurities from
whatever cause they may come, curing
pain, inflammation and colds arising
from above cause In few hours. 90

Refinement of the Remains of Co

Refinement of the m OF COL
Edmund Richardson--Death of
Mrs. W. B. Richardson.
New Orleans Picay une.
JACKSON, MISS, April A special
train bealing the remains of the late
Col. Edmund Richardson arrived here
to-day at 1890 pm. A dozen or more
carriages met the funeral train at the
depot. The elegant casket, which was
incased in a beautiful and magnificent
mahogany case, was placed in the
hearse and the funeral procession at
once slowly wended its way to the
cemetery iu the northern part of the
city, where a massive and extensively
constructed vault had been prepared
and was waiting to tiaally close over
the remains of the great millionaire.
AS the burial service had taken place
in New Orleans no services of any kind
were had at the grave. The floral
tributes deposited on the coffin and
over the grave were beautiful, costly
and taStlly arranged.
The final resting place is on a beauti.
full elevation where lie the remains of
all the deceased members of Co.
Richardson's family. His own grave
is directly in front Of and under the
shadow Of the magnificent marble shaft
some twenty-five feet high, which is
surrounded by a more than life sized
statue Of Col. Richardson himself. He
is represented as standing erect, bare
headed, with a cane in his hand. The
posture is a very natural one and is a
very finely executed work of art, the
work having been done in Italy and
approved of before acceptance by Col.
Richardson himself fifteen years ago.
1t cost $4,000.
James S, VIM. F., John P. and Chas.
P. Richardson, all of the living sons,
and Mrs. Withers, Mrs. Green and Mrs.
Glass, his sister, were all present to-
gether with all his relations residing
here, or near here, besides many special
and near friends of the family.
This morning while the relatives of
the deceased were expecting the
funeral trains arrival they were ap-
prised of the death of the wife Of w.
B. Richardson, a nephew of Col.
Richardson and a prominent merchant
of Newton, Miss. She died this morn
ing at 6 o'clock at that place suddenly.
She was raised in this city, being the
daughter of Col. Thomas E. Helm, for
many years President of the Capitol
State Bank. She was a most estima.
bic lady anO very justly popular here.
