WACO, TEXAS, May 9, 1888.

Gentlemen: The wife of one Of my custo
mers was terribly afflicted with loathsOme ski
disease, that covered her whole body. She wal
confined to her bed for several years by this
affection, and could not help herself at all She
could not sleep from a violent itching and sting
ing Of the skin. The disease baff1ed the skill
of the physicians who treated it. Her husband
began finally giving his wife Swift's Specific. and
she commenced to improve almost Immediately,
and in few weeks she was apparently well. She
is now a hearty, fne-lool;ing lady, with no trace
of the affection left. Yours very truly,

A Victim of His Own Beauty

The public has frequently heard of Col
Nicholas Smith, but always i'll connection
with his beauty. When he married the
daughter of Horace Greeley, years ago,
more was said of his beauty than of his
wealth or his ability to earn a living.
Within the last ten or fifteen years he has
frequently figured in the newspapers, and
on each occasion the fact was thrust to the
front that his beauty was something re-
markable.
The colonel himself undoubtedly
thought great deal of his beauty, and it
may be that to the possession of a hand
some face and fine figure he owes his failure
to get ahead in the world. Men who have
beauty are apt to think they are too good
to earn living, and so much of their time
is given to the contemplation of their good
looks that they haven't time for any useful
employment
A few months ago Col. Smith achieved
considerable notoriety by demanding to be
repaid his expenses for attending the we'd
ding of a friend and acting as his best man.
The groom, on the occasion referred to, was
a rich Brooklyn merchant, and he married
beautiful woman in Louisville, Ky. Col
Smith went to Louisville and did all that
was required OF him, and on his return he
sent Mr.. Overton letter asking for $50,
the amount of his expenses. The latter
responded with check for 800, and very
spicy correspondence ensued, which found
its way into print.
The Worid publishes a story that Col
Smith was locked up in cell at IA police
station in New York on Wednesday night,
on the charge that he endeavored to beat a
hotel out of his board bill. The cell must
have been very uncomfortable place for the
handsome colonel, who has been used to the
best the world affords Doubtless his
friends got him out of his unpleasant quar-
ters i'll good time, but the fact that he occu-
pied a cell on the charge Of trying 10 beat
hotel is an indication that he is drifting
into circles whore his beauty will not be
appreciated, and his surroundings will be
widely different from those to which he has
been accustomed. 1t is pity that man
who is SO well educated and so capable of
filling a useful place in the world should
waste his powers and wreck his life because
he is handsome. 1t is seldom that a man
is the victim Of his own beauty.

quarters short. This shortage of shipments
is nearly balanced, however, by the excel
lent prices received for vegetables shipped,
and growers have already received $500
for Strawberries sold.
On Friday night, short distance south
of Ocaia, two trains were going in over the
Florida Railway and Navigation road. The
first train, as it reached the summit of
Naterman's grade, lost two Of its cars,
which began retrograde movement, and
a mile south collided with another freight
train following after the first. The result
was collision, which reduced the two cars
to toothpicks, and scattered the railroad
ties with which they were loaded. The
accident delayed the trains all night.
In removing 10,0OO-pound safe belong
ing to the city of Jacksonville, on Monday
from the old quarters on Ocean street to
the new Office, at the corner of Pine and
Duyal streets, it was allowed to fall with
all its weight on the pavement, breaking
the hinges and cracking both doors. The
accident occurred in lowering the massive
safe from the truck in front of the new
building. The first cost of the safe 10 the
city was 5000, and it is comparatively new.
having been in use only few months.
Mrs. L. D. Palmer, wife of Rev. L. D.
Palmer, Of the Christian Adrocate, pub
lished in Nashville, died at 500 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon, on the evening train
over the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key
West railway, while between Green Cove
Springs and West Tocoi. She had been
ailing for some months, and in February
went to Florida IN hope of regaining her
lost health. She went first to Punta Gorda,
where she staid until two weeks ago, when
her husband joined her and they removed
to Kissimmee.

A Suggestion as to the CHARACTERISTIC


We learn that the name of Rev. John w.
Heidi, D. D., has been mentioned by an
Atlanta paper in connection with vacant
CHARACTERISTIC. If the Trustees are not vet
"out of the woods" this suggestion might
help them to see their way clear. DIR. Heidi
graduated in literature at Emory, but in
law at Athens. He filed the position
of Soicitor-General, but renowned
his profession for the ministry.
After having filed many important
pastorates in the North Georgia Con-
ference, he was elected President
of the LaGraDge Female College. His ad-
ministration of its affairs was brilliant and
able, and he won the love of all his pupils as
well as the affections of the entire com
munity of LaGrange From this place he
was transferred TO the important office of
Regent of the Southwestern University
one of the largest institutions of learning in
the South-at Georgetown, Tex. Here he
Is doing grand and noble work for Chris
tian education. But Georgia cannot per-
maoently spare so loving, true and able a
son as DR.. Heidi. He loves her and she
needs him. This is home-here are his friends
Here, no doubt, he would prefer to labor.
DR.. Heidi would make an ideal Chancel-
Tor. He is pious, learned, eloquent On
the commencement rostrum he is match
less. Ease, grace, dignity and kindness
blend in his manner and tones He is a
safe guide for youth. He il, moreover, a
progressive educator. He would hold to
the cardinal teachings of Christianity but
without bigotry or medi9valism. All true
science he would accept, but nothing that
was unproven would he teach. He IS now
in the prime Of his powers and the acme of
his well-earned and noble reputation. He
would adorn t1e position as much as it
would honor him.
