So far as known up to the present
time twenty.one were killed while
forty-five were injured.
The list of deaths from the Black

a large number are seriously wound

caused by the baggage car jumping

WHAT WILL MRS. GRUMPY SAY?
WRITTEN ny G. 4. r.


AS the notable lady whose name
occurs in the heading of this article
is not present this afternoon, or at
least no invitation was sent her
and we will presume her absent, we
would make a few remarks upon
her character and position among
the children of men.
think the Grundy family can be
traced back to the times of the great
Grandmother of the Witch of Fri
dor, and all along the line of her
ancestry the same prominent char
acteristics mark her stealthy tread.
For, be it well understood that
Mr.. Grundy took care OF the chill.
dren and did the sweeping and dust
ing, and thus Madam Grundy had
abundant time to poke her nose into
all her neighbours houses, and ex-
press her opinion upon the affairs Of
the community in detail. If a new
bonnet is to be purchased by Mrs.
Smiths oldest daughter who is
about to make her debut into socie.
ty, what Mrs. Grundy says is all i'm
portant; and to have her good opin.
ion is next important to having the
bonnet. And there too are all the
little Grundys, whose good opinion
is well worthy of due consideration |;
for better not have the bonnet at
all, than to provoke unfavorable re-
marks from the Crundys.
Does strange family move into
the neighborhood Mrs. Grundy is
the first to call, and very soon the
whole atmosphere is full of the ms
and outs, the IFS and doubts belong.
ing TO that family. And unless the
family just exactly suits the fancy
and freak of Mrs. Grundy, the whole
community is SET agog by the noise
of Grundy's tongue and tattle. Then
comes the frequently asked question,
=" Have you called upon the
Smiths, Jones or Browns, as the
case may be. Some have independ-
ence enough to call, paying no defer
ence to the opinion OF Mrs. Grundy !;
others answer the often asked ques-
ton by saying, no, we thought we
would wait and see how the family
dress, and where they attend church.
Mrs. Grundy called upon them and
says that they don't seem to
have moved in the best of society,
and she thinks that there must be
something wrong about the manner
in which Mr.. and Mrs. Brown treat
each other.
The fact is every community has
one or more of the widow Grundys
we say widow Grundy for Mr..
Grundy must be dead or as good as
dead, as his name is never mention
ed. It's likely he was talked to
death long since, or died of brok-
en- heart and iaborious housekeep.
ing.-We repeat, every community
has its Grundys, and as natural
result Mrs. Grundy has her loyal
subjects, who having no opinion of
their own are glad to have opinions
furnished. Having no independ-
ence to act upon, they easily and
naturally take to following the beck
and nod of others. 1t is thus that
a community is led by the nose by
the few, and so few are independ-
ent enough to own themselves, and
have positively independent opin.
ion upon the various questions of
EVERYDAY life. 'i

Miscellaneous.
What Is this DISEASE that Is COMING
UPON uSi

Like thief at night 1t steals in upon
US unawares. The patients have pains
about the chest and sides. and sometimes
in the back. They feel dull and sleepy i
the mouth has bad taste, especially in
the morning. A sort of sticky slime col
lects about the teeth. The appetite is
poor. There is feeling like heavy
load on the stomach; sometimes a faint,
all gone sensation at the pit of the stom-
ach which food does not satisfy. The
eyes are sunken, the hands and feet be-
come cold and clammy. After while
a cough sets in, at first dry, but after a
few months it is attended with green
ish-colored expectoration. The patient
feels tired all the while, and sleep does
not seem to afford any rest. After a time
he becomes nervous irritable and gloomy.
and has evil forebodings. There is gid
diness, sort of whirling sensation in the
head when rising up suddenly. Tze
bowels become costive: the skin is dry
and hot at times; the blood becomes
thick and stagnant; the whites of the
eyes become tinged with yellow ; the
urine is scanty and high colored, depos-
iting sediment after standing. There
is frequently a splitting up of the food,
sometimes with sour taste and some
times with swedish taste this is fire.
quentIy attended with palpita.ion of the
heart: the vision becomes impaired, with
spots before the eyes ; there is feeling
of great prostration and weakness. All
of these symptoms are in turn present.
1t is thought that nearly one-third of our
population has this disease in some of its
varied forms.
1t has been found that physician have
mistaken the cause of this disease. Some
have treated it for a liver complaint,
others for kidney disease, etc., etc.. but
none of these kinds of treatment have
been attended with success for it is real
ly constipation and dyspepsia. 1t is also
found that Shaker Extract of Roots. or
Mother Seigels' Curative Syrup, when
properly prepared will remove this dis
ease in all its stages. Care should be
taken, however, to secure the genuine
article. @ D
1T WILL SELL BETTER THAN COTTON.
Mr.. John G. Hemptinstall, of Chula-
firmee, Cleburn Co., Ala, writes $ My
wife has been SO much benefited by
Shaker Extract of Roots or Seigels'
Syrup that she says she would rather be
without part of her food than without
the medicine. 1t has done her more good
than the doctors and all other medicines
put together. I would ride twenty miles
to get it into the hands of any sufferer if
he can get it in no other way. believe
it will soon sell in this State better than
cotton.
