LOCAL NOTICES.

For the relief and cure of the infamms-
ton and congestion called "a cold in the
head, there is more potency in Ely's Cream
Balm than in anything else it is possible to
prescribe. This preparation has for years
past been making a brilliant success as a
remedy for cold in the head. catarrh and
hay fever. Used in the initial stages Of
these complaints Cream Balm prevents
any serious development Of the symptoms,
while almost EumbcTIess cases are on record
of radical cures OF chronic CataTrh and hay
fever after all other modes of treatment
have proved Of no avail.

ONE THING NEEDFUL.
BY BRAN sTOKER.

In Martha's house the weary Master lay
Spent with his faring through the burning day;
The busy hostess hustled through the room
On household cares intent; and ct his feet
The gentle Mary took her wonted seat.
Soft came His words in muse through the
gloom.
Cumbered about much serving, Martha wrought
Her sister listening as the Master taught,
Till, something fretful an appeal she made;
doth it not matter that on me doth fall
The burde,' Mary helpeth not at all.
Master, command her that shegive me aid"
."Ah, Martha, Martha that art full of care,
And many things thy needless troubles share
Thus, with the love that. chides, the Master
spake-
Zone thing alone is needful-Shat good part
Hath Mary chosen from her loving heart
And that part from. her shall never take"
One thing alone we lack Our souls, indeed,
Have fercer hunger than the body's need.
Oh happy they that look in loving eyes
The harsh world round them fades; the Master S
voice
In sweetest music bids their souls rejoice,
And wakes echo there that never dies

Toombs and the Philanthropist
from the Southern Bivouac. !

From the Southern BlvOuac.1
After Toombs' famous Boston speech
g, philanthropist came up to him as he
stood in the center of a group at his
hotel, and said "Sir, I have come to
ask you a question, and you impress
me as a. man who will tell the truth,
even if it bears against him."
81 will try said Mr.. Toombs, with
great meekness.
81 am told, SIR" said the man, chat
down in Georgia you actually work
poor negroes to the pillow, instead OF
mules or horses. Is that true, sir?
Mr.. Toombs looked like man hit
hard, but asked:
"Do you know the cost of a negro
man, sir ?'
ooh, yes," was the reply. "From
ST, 900 up to ST., 800, for human flesh,
sir. Mans horrid trade in man!''
Said Mr.. Toombs: $9OOdo fo1
an average?"

may say that"
"Do you know the cost of com
mon mule or horse?" said Mr.
Toombs.
Eyes, sir; the average of unimprov
ed stock may be 800. You neglect
your brutes, SIR
"Granted, /" said Mr.. Toombs. "Now
how many negro men do you think il
takes to pull two-horse pillow in 6
clay soil like ours?"
81 have not thought of that sir; but
-ahem-we will say ten"
'"Then," said Mr.. Toombs, in thai
tender, pathetic tone which would
have made him perfect as revivalist
exhorter, "then we have mule team
at 5000 and negro team that cos
$4,000; and what do you think of tn,
economy of it yourself?"
The talk ended, and only one mar

the venerable Judge Wardlaw, a
man whose decisions had been quoted
throughout the land, and who held a
place in the front rank of jurists, rose
and solemnly warned the people
against the rash step they were taking.
He told them plainly that they would
be crushed, and that they had not a
single chance, and that, aside from ar
guments about their political rights,
it would be better for them to remain
in the Union with disadvantages than
to fight and be forced back at the
point of the bayonet, with all the evils
that war and defeat would entail.
Judge Wardlaw was Kissed off the
platform. The people were deter.
mined on their course. But SUCH OF
them as now survive are convinced OF
the wisdom of his counsels.
The almost deserted condition OF
Abbeville on that bleak February day,
when Jefferson Davis sought the hos
pitable shelter of Mr.. Burt's residence,
bore mute but eloquent witness to the
prophetic words of Judge Wardlaw.
In gloomy loneliness Davis and his
cabinet assembled in one Of the sitting
rooms. They held their last consulya-
ton, discussed plans that were dis
cussed only to be abandoned, and
finally decided that the end had come,
and that they had better try to es-
cape. Then they examined such pa
pers as they had with them, and when
the hour of twelve struck the ashes of
nearly all of those papers were smol-
dering in the glowing Goals OF the big
wood fire. The question then came
up as to the disposal of the seal of the
Southern Confederate states. 1t was
plain that it ought to be destroyed;
but how could they do it? Time
pressed. They should be on their
weary flight for safety even now.
There was an old covered well in Mr..
Burt's yard, and into this Mr.. Ben
jamin threw the seal. 1t has since
caved in and filled up, and now the
seal OF the late Confederacy is safe I'm.
der fifty feet of ground, and exactly in
what spot there probably lives no
man who can tell.
The sequel is known. A week or Sc
after this meeting Mr.. Davis was cap
tured in Georgia. Mr.. Benjamin es-
capped to England.

A New Version of an Old Story.
[From the Boston Gazette. I

From the Boston Gazette.l
In village not far from Boston an
attempt was recently made to reform,
by fright, a genial old chap who was
SO strongly ''in love with his cups" as
to be habitually full. Friends had
labored with the erring brother in
vain, and in despair he was left for
anyone to reform him who could, and
in any way they chose. A number OF
young larks in the town decided to
try the experiment of fright. One
warm summer afternoon the old fell
low got as full as tick, when the
committee on reform procured acoffin
from an undertaken and placed the
soggy topper inside, with the lid turned
back to give him air, and convened
him to the churchyard cemetery
where, concealed behind the shrubbery
they awaited his awakening. After
two hours sleep the old fellow awoke
and, wiggling his head from side tc
side, and struggling to raise his hands
the seriousness of his position seemed
to dawn upon him. He finally raised
his head, looked down the length O
the coffin, surveyed the tombstones
and monuments on either side, and
finding none other similarly situated
he said, "I'm (hic) either the (hic'
first man, or else lhic) I'm left

The Value of an Eyelash
from the Washington Ratchet.


A Washington fnancier, who is well
acquainted with Col. Lew Washington,
the teller of Lewis, Johnson & Co.'S
bank, said that it was at the close OF
business hours, and Col. Washington
was pouring and perspiring over long
column of figures on the balance sheet.
The sum total of the column should
have read $4,000. Instead OF that
amount, however, it showed total OF
$1,000, or 5000 more than he could
account for. The vexatious mistake
caused the colonel to scratch his head
vigorously and wonder where the ex-
cess was in the column of agonizing
figures. While going carefully over the
column for the twentieth time he dis
covered the error, and it was one that
would hardly occur in thousand
