BRANDRETHs PILLS are the best medi-
cine known.
FSrst-They are purely vegetable; in
fact, medicated food.
Secomd-The same dose always produces
the same effect-other purgatives require
increased doses, and finally cease acting.
Third They purify the blood.
FOurth-They invigorate the digestion
and cleanse the stomach and bowels.
FEfth-They stimulate the liver and
carry off vitiat d bile and other depraved
secretions.
The first two or three doses tell the
story. The skin becomes clear, the eyes
bright, the mind active, digestion is re-
stored, costiveness cured, the animal vigor
is recruited and all decay arrested.
BRANDRETH'S PILLS are sold in every
drug and medicine store, either plain or
sugar-coated.

THE YANKEE DRUMMER.
One who Usually Gets Even With Those
Who Snub Hi IN.

A very neat little reminder to one of
the worst bores we ever knew, New
York dude with big cane, was admin
istered by clerk who attached to the
cave the legend: "This is my busy day"
1t was not received with the best grace,
but proved very effectual on subsequent
visits. The man who fools with drum
mer had better trouble the business end
of a wasp, full many business man
knows. A salesman recently told us his
experience in neighboring State. He
knew the proprietor slightly, having
called on him once or twice in the pre-
vious years, and, finding him all alone,
after few moments conversation called
his attention to neat little article in
his line that he was introducing.
The proprietor turned on his heel at
almost the first word, without looking
at the article, and CURLY said: mo, sir,
don't want any part of it. never get
any thing until l have call for it," The
salesman waited a few moments MAX
ing no reply until the proprietor was at
leisure again, then heading for the door,
put out his hand and bidding him good
bye, invited him to come up to Boston
and he would extend such courtesy as
he appeared not to be accustomed to.
The proprietor felt the justice of the re-
mark and apoligized in his own fashion.
In certain town is business man who
is rather biggish for the size of the
place. If salesman calls he must send
in his card to the office and humbly seek
an audience.
On one occasion a salesman sent in
his card by the boy, and word came back
that the proprietor wanted nothing.
The salesman told the boy to return and
ask for the card, as they cost the firm
money. The boy soon returned, saying
the proprietor had torn up the card and
sent five cents to pay for the same. The
salesman quickly took out two more
cards and writing on the back of one:
"My firm does a square business and
never takes advantage of any one. They
only cost three for five cents" then sent
them in to the proprietor, Give the
salesman a fair show with generous
treatment, and our word for it you will
have no just cause to regret it. They
are an indispensable adjunct to our civ
ilization.-New England Grocer

NASHVILLE MARKET REPORT.

Corrected from the Nashville american
every Thursday evening.
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 12.-There are
few departments of the general mar
ket that do not report good trade.
Everybody seems busy and values
seem to be tending upward in all
manufactured goods. The tariff is on
canned goods of all kinds and prices
are higher in consequence. In gro-
ceries, sugar and coffee, while not
quotably lower, are barely steady at
the prices. The other staples are
firm. There is little weakness in
lards, but bacon is steady. Eggs
range from 20 to 81 cents, and hens
are taken readily at outside figures.
Young chickens are quite dull.
There is a demand for choice butter
and dried fruits. Wheat is dull, and
the corn market fairly active at quo>
tations. Hay rules steady, and bran

The produce trade has been lively
for the past few days, especially in
green and dried apples. The demand
is good for both green and dried if
nice. Dried apples are slightly bet
ter, both in quality and price. Ev-
cry inferior apple that will not do to
ship green should be dried. Save ev-
erything, even to the cores and peel
ings. Dry them just as nice as APP

And the sheen of his silver, the CLINT of his

Made the hearts ofhis henchmen feel Joyous
and good.
Like bees round beehive when summer is
green,
His gang at the precincts that morningwere
seen.
Like storm-stricken straw-stacks when a cy-

That gang in the evening were scattereda and
strown.
For the will of the people was borne on the
blast,
And tore through the ranks of the RAIDS as it
passed
And Clay Evans and Sharpe and all of their
Were swept from its path like leaves in the
wind.
And the great and good Sharpe waxeth loud

And Clay Evans blasphemes like devil

For the hand of the people hath shown him
the door,
And the place that once knew him shall
know him no more.

ST. MALO'S GRIM STORY.
Blown Out to Sea in Boat He Was
Rescued from Sharks After Sever
Days.

Blown Out to Sea in Boat He Was
Rescued from Sharks After Seven
Days.
From the London Telegraph.
A remarkable story of the sea comes
from st. Malo, the narrator being an
ancient mariner named Bauche, whose
painful experiences in a small boat on the
ocean ought to be a warrant for the truth
of his tale. Bauche had signed articles
with the captain of a vessel called the Ma
thilde, in which he sailed to Martinique.
While in the harbor of st. Pierre in boat
with the cabin boy one day be was driven
oceanward by a gale of wind and was
knocked about for a week on Che waves
before he was rescued by Norwegian
bark.
After the first night at sea Bauche says
that the cabin boy became partly delirious,
water was filing the boat every instant,
and in order to prevent the dying lad from
being drowned in it the old sailor made
pals from the legs Of his pantaloons, and
was thus enabled to keep the bottom of the
little craft tolerably dry. He had also to
deprive himself of his shirt. which he util
lied for a flag of distress. On the third
day the cabin boy died, and hardly was the
breath out of his body before seven or eight
ferocious black sharks began to circle round
the boat, which they sometimes almost

body to the monsters of the deep Bauche
kept it until it became decomposed.
Being afraid of illness, he at length threw
it overheard after having said his prayers
over it, aud the prey was speedily seized by
the sharks, who disappeared with it and did
not show up again for about twenty-four
hours or SO.
Bauche now felt SO utterly miserable
that he was thinking of throwing himself
overheard, when he was dissuaded from his
intention by the temperance of the sharks,
who, after cycling him ravenously for some
time, actually began to gambol before him.
as If in anticipation of a good feed off his
body. 81 did not want to be eaten alive"
remarked Bauche, in his narrative of his
perilous adventures, $50 l remained where
l was and awaited assistance" On the
seventh day the sailor lost consciousness, fell
down in the boat, and was rescued in an in
sensible condition by Capt. Paterson of the
Vladimir.
In his mouth the Norwegian sailors found
what they first thought was an old quid of
tobacco. but which proved to be part of the
horn handle of his knife, which Bauche was
crunching to stave off hunger when he be-
came unconscious. The rescued sailor, after
having been taken to New Orleans, obtained
passage home to st. Malo.
