A certain Jealous dame is said to have

brooms but deliberation prefers clay
and solid masonry. So, slowly and
deliberately, the dykes, those great hill
like walls OF cement and etono, have
risen to breast the buifeting waves. And
he funny part of it Is. they are so skill

the Prinz Frederick collided with the
English ship Marpessa, the commander
Of detachment Of Dutch colonial troops
which happened to be on board immed-
lately ordered the assembly sounded,
and the men fell in on the deck like
clockwork, in the face of certain loss of
the ship. Their conduct was an invalu-
able example to the passengers and crew
for although the entire company were
then transferred to the boats with per-
feet quiet and despatch, the Prins Fred
erick went down as the last boat left
her side. She carried with her six
Dutch privates and an officer, who
doubtless had been overwhelmed by the
waters rushing In at the point of
collision.

Devices to Banish Melancholy.

When you are gloomy and unhappy
for no apparent cause, inclined to brood
over imaginary troubles and sigh for the
unattainable, take yourself in hand at
once. Think Of your own blessings, and
the troubles Of other people, not limit
ing your sympathy TO yourself. Visit
places Of public amusement, picture gal
leries, libraries or museums OF curlosi-
ties try TO find some desultory distlsc-
tion, by casually seeing busy men, aud
observing current things, or by reading,
superficially and niscellaneously, the
lightest literature Of the day. Read in
teresting books as long as you find
pleasure in them. If you do not care
for sedentaly occupation, 90 into the
open air-driying, riding, walking or the
like, but never alone. Begin some
severe work, either Of business or anna
teurship; endeayor Go give it your whole
mind. So soon as you and yourself
strongly interested In any occupation
that involves no egoity, give your full
strength to 1t ; nay, do not hesitate to
commit yourself so far, to the execution
of what you have undertaken, that your
self-respect, love Of the good opinion
OF your fellow-men, win make you
ashamed to leave it unfinished. Seek
the society of those whose tastes are
thoroughly congeniae; by conversation,
or by pleasure excursion, or some other
general amusement get you outside Of
yourself, and aloof from your broodings,
as widely and quickly rs you may. AL
ternate upon these rules, when praoti-
cable, as either one becomes irksome,
until your fevered self-consoiousness
has acquired normal pulse then re-
sumo your real liie-work.

Mr.. Leitch on His Muscle.

Evangelist Leitch has recently been
abusing the ministers of the different
denominations in the city of Columbia,
and after one of his attacks, DR..
Chrietzberg went on the stage and
begged Mr.. Leitch to ''let up" On the
ministers.
Learning afterwards that Mr.. Leitch
did not 'let up" DR.. Chrietzberg wrote
him letter pleading with him to dis
continue his Objectionable remarks, as
set was cowardly.' The letter was
returned, and at last Saturday nights
meeting MI. Leitch spoke of having
received II, and in discussing the bar
keepers said while he did not approve
of their business, among them all du-
ring his long term of drink and de-,
bauchery, not one of them had ever
done him an unkind act. "None of
them had ever thrust him out of
their door, or tried to stab him in the
dark" s'They are honest and do
what they do openly and above board,
and that's more than [ can say for
some of the church members and
preachers or some of these slack
twisted Methodists around here.
They talk about me and abuse me
behind my back, but they will not
dare to come to my face and say what
they think of me: oh, no; they are
afraid that I will give DR.. Quattle-
baum down here a job Of putting in
an upper and lower set for them"

To the Editor of The Journal:
I wish to tell the people of Atlanta some
thing through your columns. have SIS
ter who lives in Birmingham, Ala, VINO has
been afflicted with what many physicians
termed "irternal tumor" One physician
said it was enlargement of the liver" She
came to Atlanta for treatment by a special
ist after filling to be benefited in Birming
ham. A two months treatment gave her
only temporary relief. She returned again
to the same treatment last year, and grew
worse until she became bed-ridden. When
she had despaired Of ever finding relief she
at my suggestion began the use of Kings
Royal Germetuer. She began toimprove at
once. In one week she was sleeping sound
| ", when she had not had a nights undis-
turbed rest in two years. She began to go
about at once and continue to steadily I'M
prove. In six weeks she was so far relieved
as to be able to return home, feeling well,
with no swelling or evidence of tumor or
enlarged liver had letter from her the
day before yesterday and she is evidently
well.
My confidence in Germetuer was caused
by its curing me of catarrh. My sister,
Mrs. W. A. Dobev, of Birmingham, Ala,
will verify the above statement, and my
neighbors hare in Atlanta will certify to as
much as came under their observation. l
cheerfUlly give my testimony, hoping that
the afflicted ones may be induced to try a
remedy which has proven signal blessing
to myself and my sister.
