Ouear Fits and Starts.

The fits and starts-using these words
in their literal meaning-of the nervous
people often strike the beholder as
ludicrous. The nerves of hearing OF
surh unfortunates are painfully acute,
and impinged by abrupt, unexpected
noises, lead them sometimes to perform
antics worthy of a jumping-jack. At
the root of nervousness, in most in
stances, is non-assimilation of the food
and consequently innutrition OF the
nerves as of the other tissues of the
body. This prolonged is, of course,
productive of serious nervous disease.
The remedy is Hostetter's Stomach
Bltters, that invigorate the stomach
and enables it to perform its functions
properly. Soon after commencing q
course of it, it will be found that the
nerves grow more tranquil by day
nightly repose becomes less interrupted
and appetite more vigorous and salts
flying. These are the initial indications
followed by the complete restoration oil
nervous vigor. The Bitters also cure
fever and ague, liver complaint and
constipation.

THE DOINGS OF. CONGRESS.
The GraphaptOne Coming Into
Use.

Few people away from Washington
are aware of the fact that every word
uttered upon the floor of either House
or Senate, when addressed to either
Speaker or President, is taken down
and appears in the Congressional
Record. 1t is true that much time,
money, paper, and printers ink is
VESTED by this, but nevertheless il is a
TACT. But to do this, of course, re-
quires the employment of the most
rapid and experienced stenographers.
Five of these are employed upon the
floor of the House simply to take down
the speeches, debates, etc. The chief OF
of the corps receives salary OF Sc 600,
while the other four are paid 81 coo less,
These men simply take down the words
in shorthand, working for fifteen min
utes each in succession. When each
ones fifteen minutes expires he repairs
to the official reporter 's,Iroom, where
ten more stenegraphers are employed
two to each man-to whom are read
the reports taken on the floor, and who

! take 6 report in shorthand. Thep
| they translate this into long hand, using
a Typewriter to prepare the copy for the
printer. These men are paid by space,
getting one dollar per column in the
Record. The same is also gone through
with in the Senate daily.
The stenographers have in the past
few days secured a machine to facilitate
work, which has already proven of in
estimable value. 1t is one of Edison's
inventions, and Is called the grapha-
phone. The machine very much re-
sembles lady's sewing machine and
is wOrke ed in the same manner-by a
pedal. The instrument is used in this
wise: When one of the principal stem
ographers concludes his floor report, he
goes to this machine, reads his report
into funnel connecting with the main
cylinder, which is gutta-percha coated,
and revolves while the point of a
needle connecting with the tube from
the funnel mouthpiece rests against it
The cylinder envelopes a screw which
prevents the needle tracing a frmer
line. When the stenographer finishes
reading his repo another operator
attaches tubes to the cylinder, connect
ing with his ears, works the machine,
ana the WORDS Oh the StenOgrapner are
repeated TO him in the same tone OF
voice of the previous talker. The
rapidity of the talk can be regulated,
and the operators can thus with ease
take down the exact words by the use
of a typewriter or an ordinary pen.
The machine is certainly wonderful
and enables person with the assistance
of a typewriter to do the work of two
ordinary stenographers, who have first
to take the report in shorthand and
then translate it.
These gutts-percha cylinders, l ne
elected to mention above, can be stored
away, and years after, if placed upon
the machine, the same words used to-
day W II be repeated in the exact tone
of the speaker of to-day. Thus should
any record become destroyed these
cylinders may be resorted to.
Another thing about this machine is
that person here can talk for an hour
into one, mail the cylinder to Atlanta,
where by the use of a machine the ex-
act words used here will be repeated,
thus saving the labor of writing long
lcations.-Atlanta Constitution.

fatherly love by a motherly standard.

more than this could He say? And

A Wonderful Invention.

Eli Whitney, though a Massachusetts,
man, happened to be at Savannah in the
house of General Greene when he
invented the cotton gin. No mechanical
revelation of modern times did more to
expand commerce, agriculture and
manufactures in this country. Whitney
was ill.requited. The Southern States,
with one exception, treated him shabbily,
and Southern members of Congress him
dered him from reaping the pecuniary
rewards he had honorably earned. 1t was
one of the sarcasms of fate that after he
had helped to enrich the South by
inventing the cotton gin, he was driven
by Encouragement to the North, where
he invented the gun that had 80 much to
do in subduing the Confederacy.
It is now said that another invention
has been about perfected which is second
only in Importance to Eli Whitney's dis.
coyery. The new implement is called
the Crawford cleaner, whereby the seed
of the cotton plant will command price
equal to that of the lint. 1t is explained
that under present processes cotton seed
is not worth to the grower more than St
or So per ton, and the. manufacturers
make only reasonable profit after pay.
ing that price. With the Crawford
cleaner.the seed will be worth from ss5
to $50 per ton, and will give the oil mill
a much larger profit than is made now.
Cotton planters ought to realiae con-
siderable profits by the use of this inven'
ton. There is no reason why they
should not have all the advantage at
home, instead of allowing 80 much of this
raw material to go abroad for manipula.
ton. The principle Of protection to
home interests ramiies in all sections OF
the republic, and it will be for the com.
mon welfare when the South manufac.
lures the larger part of her cotton lint
and seed. The value of the seed for oil,
for stock food, for lard mixing and fer.
tilizing has been enormously increased Of
late years, thanks to ingenious brains and
magical money investment. Ifit be true
that the new cleaning process is an
assured success, there will be correspond,

trade to meet the public demand that

a Surprised Cat.

A gentleman tells us the following,
which he certifies to be correct: You
know that the buzzards have been quite
plentiful around the city for some time,
and they alight in the yards, on the fen.
cling and even on the houses. I have 8
very large cat and he is very playful, and
will chase the chickens, ducks, ETC., about
the yards. He was frolicking around the
corner of the house Monday, when
buzzard few down on the ground just at
the corner of the house, and before it
could fold it's wings the cat was on its
back, just where the wings and neck join
the body of the bird. The buzzard
Immediately arose in the air with the cat
seemingly enjoying the Hopping of the
huge wings, and in few moments was
higher than the highest trees. Kitty then
seemed, for the first time, to realize his
position, and commenced crying for the
fast receeding earth. The buzzard, hear.
ing the noise, was more alarmed than
ever, and began to whirl and turn, but
the catinserted his claws under the front
edge of the wing and clung on for life.
In turning and twisting the bird went no
higher, but descended toward the ground,
but was still high above the trees; at one
time it was flying nearly with its back to
the earth, but the cat had it's claws firm,
and when the bird righted, puss was on
its back. The bird then arose to a great
height, and turning over fell swiftly
toward the earth, and the poor cat came
tumbling down, having been unseated.
He fell into large tree, which broke the
force of the fall, and as he neared the
earth, caught on limb, and ran down
the body of the tree under the house.
Whenever that cat sees the shadow of q
buzzard now, az it flies oyer, he breaks
for the house and stays there until the
bird is out of sight.-Valdo, j (Ga.)

Another Columbia Romance.

a Columbia letter of Thursday to the
Charleston World, says:
Quite romantic affair occurred this at.
ternoon, in the shape ofthe marriage of a
Jewess to Gentle. Mr.. w. E. McCar.
tha; of AlabEma, has been living in Co
lumbia for the last sight months. For
some time he has been enamored OF Miss
Camille Peixotto, fifteen year old daugh-
ter of s. O. Peixotto, a gentleman con-
nected with railroad in the city, The
fair Jewess reciprocated his affection, and
/ the pair have been meeting clandestinely
and plighting their troth, thus surmount'
ing parental anger and opposition. The
affair reached a climax this afternoon at
four o'clock, when the lovers went before
the Rev. w. @. Lindsay and were made
man and wife. The parents of the young
lady were oblivious to the fact that their
daughter had been wooed and won by a
GENTLE, and consequently were thunder.
struck. when they received note from
their undutiful daughter announcing the
fact of her alliance with Christian.
Mrs. Peixotto was fairly maddened at
the news, and rushed out of the house
seeking the groom and declaring ven
geauce upon him. It was with difficulty
that she could be restrained. Mr.. Peix-
otto swore that his daughter should be
buried tonight, as is the Jewish custom
when one of a number is 80 faithless as to
marry Christian. They endeayored to
fnd the elopers, but they had left on the
evening train for Spring Hill, where the
groom has secured position as o school
teacher.
The groom is about twenty. six years of
age, and has been admitted to the bar.
The pair are Liliputian in size. This is
the second alliance of Jew and Gentle
that has occurred in this city in the last
six months. Some time ago Miss Ra-
chael David and n. A. Harth eloped un-
der the same circumstances. Miss Da.
vid's parents draped her couch in mourn
ing on the occasion. The affair has
excited much interest here, and the par.

Take it as it Comes.

It is not good policy to worry over

patiently. Itwould be best were We SO

A Mistaken Idea.

We scarcely know any error into
which people are more ready to fall
than the notion that certain lines of
business are low. "Ohl it would be
looked upon as so low. Ican't do such
thing as that. I should feel ashamed
to be seen following such low occupa-
tion." And so Oh, with numerous
excuses equally ridiculous. What this
thing is which. is called low We have
never been able to understand, for it
varies in different places, and is never
exactly the same anywhere. What is
,ckoned low in one place is not cousid.
cred low in another place.
1t likewise varies according to times.
a thing was low twenty years ago which
Is not low in the present day. We have
8 distinct remembrance of things being
considered low, which are low no longer.
Thus a change is perpetually going on in
notions of what is low.
He who scruples to transact any hon.
est piece of business from an idea that it
| is low, may rest assured of this, that he
will soon see some one, less foolish, step
| in and take the business from him; and
what is more, he will see that every per-
| son thriyes and will be respected for
doing that which he at one time rejected
and was ashamed OF. The truth is, no
occupation is low if it be consistent with
what is just and honest. We are all,
every one Of US, living by ministering,
some way or other, to each other, neces.
lsities and comforts.
The whole world lis but great shop,
in which all are sellers and buyers in
turn, and in which each is expected to
do something useful for the general we'll
being Of the-concern. Let US, for the
sake Of. consistency and common sense,
get rid Of this preposterous notion Of
lowness, which, as we say, is ever shift.
Ling its ground. It is the bane of rational
enterprise, and keeps hundreds from
doing that whichiwould be really honor
abIe.and lucrative. Honor and shame,
as Pope has: observed, arise from no par.
i-ticular condition9in life; true merit con.
sists in the correct performance Of our
part, whatever that may. y..chance to be.
