What Makes a Man.

Mere polish does not make a man,
nor does a rough exterior necessarily
make one. The man is within.
What of intellect? What is the

What are you doing for others and

to test manhood. See that your

tors Riddleberger, Stanford and
Stewart, Republicans, voted with
the Democrats. All the other Re
publicans voted or were paired
against Mr.. Lamar and all the
Democrats were in his favor. Bitter
81 eecles were made against the
confirmation bySherman, Edmunds,
Evarts and and others which the
Democratic Senators wisely ig-
nored. Senator Riddleberger alone
participated in the debate in favor
Of Mr.Lamar and the manly stand
taken by him and the other two
Republican Senators, despite the
bitter partisan spirit exhibited by
the rest oftheir colleagues, deserves
the thanks of the whole Southern
people. Judge Lamar was sworn
in and took his seat on the bench
of the United States Supreme
Court, Wednesday.

Will 1888 be a Year Of War!

Tile present year is the fifth we IT

five, and there Will be but five
more years in which such comb.
nation is possible prior 20 the year
2599. Probably few have ever
heard of he old prophecy, which
runs as follows:
In every future year Of our Lord,
When the sum Of the ligurcsare twen-
ty-live,
Some wa:-!ikc kingdom viii draw the
swcrd,
But peaceful nations in peacc shall
thrive.
Students OF modern history will
readily recall how faithfully this
prophecy has been fulfilled in tile
four previous years to Which it ap.
piled.
In 1899 Russia, Denmark and
Poland formed the coalition against
Sweden which inausuratcd the
great war that ended in the disas-
trous defeat of Charles MI. at
Pultowa.
The year 1850 will ever be mem.
orable on account of the breaking
out of the French revolution.
The year 179S witnessed the cam
:aien OF Bonapar;e in Egypt and
the formation OF the second Euro
pean coalition against France.
In 1879 war broke out betmecl
England and Afglanistan, followed
by the invasion Of lie latter coun-
try by British troops.
In what manner the prediction
is to bc verified in 1883 remainsyet
to be seen, but the present condi-
ton Of Europe seems to promise

What am l to Do2

The symptoms Of biliousness are
unhappily but too we'll known
They differ in different individuals
to some extent. A bilious man is
seldom a breakfast eater. Too fire.
quently, alas, he has an excellent
appetite for liquids but none for
solids of a morning. His tongue
will hardly bear inspection at any
time; il it is not white and furred,
it is rough, at all events.
Tie digestive system is wholly
ont of order and diarrhea or con-
stipation may be symptom or the
two may alternate. There are oft.
en- hemorrhoidS or even loss OF
blood. There may be giddiness
and often headache and AGILITY or
tlatulence and tenderness in the
pit of the stomach. To correct all
this if not effect cure try Green's
August Flower, it costs but trite
and thousands attest is efficacy.
