FOR AND ABOUT THE SMITH FAMILY.
Legends as to Their Origin - Current
Stories of individual Members.

Legends as to Their Origin - Current
Stories of individual Members.
According to the legend, Adam was one
day giving names to his several thousand
great great great great great great grand
children. He was somewhere along in the
fifth or sixth century of his existence, and
age was telling upon him. He couldn't call
names, especially hard ones, as vigorously as
he did when he named the animals So after
calling 200 or 800 of his progeny RadowitsSy
and Petronovitch, and Markevitz and Helles-
boum, Kobblewasser and Martinidradoti, his
strength gave out, and he just called the rest
of them Smiths and sent them home with
their nurses
Whether this is true or not, the Smith
family is probably the most ancient, as it is
the largest and most influential family in the
world. Schliemann in his excavations at an
cient Troy dug up vase, on which was en-
graved an etching of the deluge with Noah
coming out Of the ark; sticking out of his
pockets was package Of documents on
which, with a microscope, could be seen the
words: Papers belonging to the Smith
family"
Still another legend relates that the family
originated during the war between the Philis-
tines and lsraelites when they were shifting
one another "hip and thigh" and the first man
struck was known as the "flrst Smit" This
is plausible, but not authentic.
If they were only a united family they
could probably overrun and conquer any
nation they chose to attack. If one of the
great party candidates for president of the
United States were Smith, the Smiths
could, by voting for him, undoubtedly elect
him; and, as a separate and rebellious state,
they could make it even more lively for the
general government than the Mormons have
done. If the Smiths have not set up an i'm
perial government and ruled the world, as
the Bonaparte family once threatened to rule
Europe, it is because, like a horse that has
never run away, they do not know their
strength. twill be poor show for the rest
of mankind should the Smiths decide to
'pool their issuesn and run things to suit
themselves. Aristocrats of the name Of
Bellevue and Montioy, of De Belleville and
Montmorenci, of Radcliffe and Harrington
of Percy and Rochambeau, would then be
made to feel their real insignifcance, be re-
duced to the ranks of plebeians and be looked
down upon and trampled over by the lordly
Smiths until they knew, as the humber
Smiths have known, show it is themselves. -

AN uNoRDArNEp SMITH,

About twenty years ago the late l. I. D.
Smith, "the great inventor of the self-wind-
ing clock,n as he called himself, after being
absent from Dahlonega for ten years, was
brought up before the town council of Dab
lonega and fined good round sum for being
drunk, swearing and shooting Off his pistol
The thing was so sudden and so different
from the good old times in the "fifties" that
he asked the mayor if he would he fined any
thing for praying. On being informed that
he would not, he Immediately fell on his
knees and offered up this petition: 10, Lord,

REVEREND SMITH
= The Rev. DR.. Smith, who is prominent
divine in New York, had been spending a few
days on an island on the Maine coast, and, in.
tending to depart on a certain morning, he
started for the boat in company with friend.
A porter followed with the doctors valise.
Arriving at the wharf they found that, to
take advantage of the wind or tide, the boat
had gone before the advertised time. Not
aware of the clerical character of the com.
pany, the porter sHore several shocking oaths
in quick succession. "What do YOU think Of
that, doctor" asked the friend. "Well,n said

In his report to be made to the Senate
upon the communication of the Attorney
General declining to furnish papers re-
ferring to removals. Senator Edmunds
draws almost exclusively upon democratic
authorities for his precedents to sustain
the position which the republican Senators
have taken. The democrats of the Senate
who have decided to follow so bllndly the
lead of their President will find themselves
opposing the ancient and sacred preroga-
tives OF the body of which they are MEM
bers, as defined in former days by mem.
bers of their own party. John c. Calhoun
is supposed to have been a pretty good
democrat. Mr.. Edmunds will show that
on February 9, 1885, upon the relations
between the President and the Senate, he
reported bill requiring the President at
the beginning of every session OF Con-
gress to report to the Senate all removals
from Office in the Congressional recess,
and to assign the reasons tor which such
removals were made. This report of Mr..
Calhoun could be adopted by the present
Committee on the Judiciary, with few
changes of names and dates. and would
apply directly to the controversy pending.

The Senate finance committee rejected
by strict party vote the nominations OF
Chase and Pillsbury. The Senate will
doubtless vote the same way and make a
finalitv of these cases. Instead of attend
ing to business in Boston, Pillsbury has
been hanging around Washington great
part of the time since Congress met, en-
deavoring to secure confirmation by the
Senate if possible. His nomination is a
disgrace to the President and the Senate
will do we'll to reject it. Keep the ras-
Gals out. Pillsbury has been reporting
that Hoar and Dawes were in favor of his
confirmation, but they say the assertion is
false They will stand with the Maine
Senators in opposition to his confirma-
ton.

A Wise Reform.

The habit of administering quinine in pow
erful doses, as an antidote to malarial mala-
dies, was once dangerously common.
Happily this practice has undergone wide
reform. Not only the public but professional
men have adopted, not wholly, of course, but
largely. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as a
safe botanic substitute for the pernicious
alkaloid. The consequences of this change
are most important Now fever and ague
sufferers are cured-formerly their complaints
were only for the time relieved. or half cured
the remedy eventually failing to produce
any appreclable effect, except the doses were
increased. A course of the Bitters, persist
emily followed, breaks up the worst attacks
and prevents their return. The evidence in
favor of this sterling specific and household
medicine is of no ambiguous character, but
positive and satisfactory, and the sources
whence it proceeds are very numerous.
