tered almost necessarily. had no appetite
and could not sleep. l would be compelled
to sit up in bed and belCh gas from my stom-

my last. There was q feeling of oppression
about my heart, and was afraid to draw a
full breath. l couldn't sweep a room with
out sitting down and resting; but, thank
God, by the help of New Heart Cure all that
is past and feel like another woman. Be
fore using the New Heart Cure | had taken
different so-called remedies and been treated
by doctors without any benefit until | was
both discouraged and disguised. My husband
bought me a bottle of DIR. Miles New Heart
Cure, and am happy to say never regretted
it, as l now have a splendid appetite and
sleep WELL weighed 125 pounds when i be-
gan taking the remedy, and now weigh 1901 !.
Its effect in my case has been truly marvel;
GUS 1t far surpasseS any other medicine
have ever taken or any benefit | ever re
ceived from physicians. Mrs Harry Starr

A High Tribute to the President.

In Paris newspaper, the. Economists
Franchise, M. A. Lalande, a former mem
Der of the Chamber of Deputies in France
pays this high tribute to President
Cleveland's inaugural address. 1t is the
result of deliberate reflection. as it comes
more than two months after the address
was delivered:
'It is hardly an exaggeration to say
that the address of President Cleveland
to the American people on the 4th of
March IS one of the most remarkable
political documents that have appeared
in long time. The elevation of thought
and sentiment that pervades It through
out, the religious spirit by which it is
marked, the just and sagacious political
views with which it abounds, the regards
for the public welfare, and the princi-
pies of justice and equity that are be-
trayed in almost every line, explain the
profound impression produced by it. In
reading this address one seems to hear
all echo of the voices of the reverend
founders of the Republic of the United
States-of Washington, Franklin, and
their illustrious colleagues"

OUR CONGRESSMAN.
Something About the Member from the
Second.

Second.
Thursdays Columbus Enquirer-Sun
contained short sketches. of the Georgia
delegation in congress by it's Washing
ton correspondent Here is what was
said of Congressman Ben Russell:
One of the most lovable characters of
the delegation is Ben Russell, from away
down in the wire grass. Russell is d
new congressman, but he has served
here in Washington in a clerical capaci-
ty and knows a catapault from hair
trigger. The story is related OF Colonel
Ben that he stopped at boarding house
the first summer he got to Washington,
and one day the landlady, observing a
sanitary regulation, had the wood in his
fireplace whitewashed. This act offend
ed Russell and he changed his quarters,
swearing that he had been mistaken fOr
a disciple of Oscar Wilde. During his
recent visit Mr.. Russell told a new Eng
land man, who seemed greatly interest
ed in the early settlement of the south,
that DeSOtO's route to the Mississippi
had been traced throughout its length by
the empty whisky bottles scattered along
the line of march, and the New England
Ell believed it. Colonel Ben will achieve
fame in the story-tellers' corner of the
house cloak room when he gets well into
the harness.

Mieht RIackban Him.

| The New York Herald contained
communication fir I'm the celebrated Dr..
ParkhurSt which deals in matter that
will entertain our Hebrew friends and
hardly less so another class in every COM
munity which is constantly engaged in
belittling them Here is the Parkhurst
letter:
In response to your request permit me
to say regret the ebullition in ourmidst
of an anti-Semitic spirit. 1t is too late
in the century for that sort of foolish
ness. The Hebrews are charged with being
cliquish, and any self-respecting people
that had been kicked and cuffed by the
rest of the world for twenty centuries
ought to becliquish. A part of the treat
ment they have suffered at the hands of
the Gentiles is due to jealousy and a
part to bigotry. They would never haze
been expelled from Russia if they had
not been smarter than the Sclavs and
gotten away with the prizes.
Some people here in New York would
like them better if they were not SO diff
fcult to compete with. They are at the
front in every department of trade and
industry. 1t is stated by a careful wri-
ter in recent number of the Century
that of the ''four hundred buildings on
Broadway between Canal street and I'm.
| ion Square, the occupants of almost all
are Heblews-over one thousand whole
sale firms out of total of / 200 being of
that race"
I do not believe that Judaism comes
so near to the whole truth as Christian
ty does, but | would rather take the
chances any day of solid Jew than of a
veneered Christian. Hebrews are, at
any rate, a temperate and law abiding
people, true to country and to family.
Only two mnrderers, it is said, have
sprung from their ranks in 25O years.
Christianity may overtop Judaism, but
one reason for that is that it stands on
Judaism's shoulders. Hebrews were the
only timber that Jesus Christ could find
that was sound enough to build Christi
anity on the top of. Abraham was ''noth-
ing but Hebrew" but three religions
to-day delight to call him Gather"
To snub a Jew to-day because he is a
Jew is to forget the rock from which
very much of what is best in current civ
| ilization has been Quarried-distinct
theism and a pure morality. There are
clubs probably that would blackball Mo
ses and pulpits that would close their
doors against Elijah, but to men that
have not been too economically con-
structed manhood transcends nationality
and personal worth has an intrinsic
value Independent of cultus or eclesiasti-
cal certificates.

The pitiable condition OF negroes Nv
inc in northern cities is still subject OF
discussion with the newspapers. The
fact that they are being steadily forced
out of all branches of industry, except
the mental, is generally acknowledged.
The results are shown by the Phiiadel-
phia Record, which gives the experience
of certain well educated and unusually
intelligent negroes in order to illustrate
the hardships endured by their race.
Two of the instances it cites are as fol
| lows:
''Miles Tucker graduated from the
Wharton school at the university with
high honors and took the third medal for
the best essay on Prospective Tariff,
/ competing with students from Harvard,
Yale, Princeton, Columbia and other
universities. He succeeded in getting a
position as night Waterman in railroad
office, and afterward to better himself
had to go to Georgia winter resort as a
waiter. Alton Croswith, of No. 1908
Lombard street, graduated with honor
from the Mutual Training School. He
is a good electrician, a splendid draughts-
man, and has built an engine, but he has
been unable to get employment at any of
the trades he has learned, and he is now
selling papers on the street at Thirteenth
and Chestnut streets"
The university education, the trained
intelligence, of these two men is per ect,
Nv useless to them. Miles Tucker is not
better hotel waiter because of his abill-
ty to argue well for protection, nor does
Alton Crosworth find his knowledge of
mechanical engineering and electricity
useful in selling papers. In fact, it is
highly probable that discomfort with
their lot more than offsets their educa-
ton, and that they are less useful, as
we'll as less happy, because of their ex-
periepce in the schools.
1t is probable that the negroes of Phil
adelphia have greater political privileges
than their brethren in the south. They
are in position to make themselves use
full to either of the parties, and are not
numerous enough to constitute menace
to the white people. But it is plain that
in every other respect their position in
Philadelphia is far less favorable than
that of the negroes in the south. Here
the negroes right to labor, at least, is
not iDterfered with. Very near every
field of industry is open to him. If he
cannot hold office and if his vote is not
in such active demand as in Philadelphia,
he is free to get a living in the way that
suits him best, to grow rich if he has the
ability, to improve himself in every way
open 10 anybody else.

It was reported in some of the Florida
papers a few days ago that whale was
stranded in twenty-four feet of water
near Key West; it turns out, however,
that the wa;er was only about nine
feet deep where his whaleship ran
ashore. According to reports he meas
ured eighty feet in length. Ten or
twelve barrels of oil have already been
taken from his head, and it is believed
that with proper handling about 200 bar
rels in all can be received from this mon
s.er of the deep.

NEWARK LETTER.

Miss Minnie L. Wilson, of Snow
Hill, has been visiting at the Nj. +.
parsonage in Newark.
Little Grace, daughter of Rev. j. X.
Campbell, We are sorry to state has
been quite unwell recently.
Mr.. James S. Ratledge, of Cedar
town, who has been sick for several
weeks, is still quite poorly. We trust
that he will soon recover his health.
Notwithstanding the very unpleasant
rain storm of last week the Nj. Z. festi-
val at Cedartown was well patronized
and the proceeds amounted to very
creditable sum.
The festival which was recently
gotten up by the young ladies of the
NJ. f. Church at Ironshire was grand
success, and they deserve praise for
their kind efforts in this direction.
Capt. John A. J. Hudson, keeper of
the North Beach Life Saving Station,
paid short but welcome visit to his
many friends in Newark last week.
Capt. Jack is ''the right man in the
right place"
AT the festival held last week at
Cedartown, the lady members of the
Wesley NJ. L. Church presented their
pastor, Rev. James r. Campbell, with
a beautiful banana cake which was
made by Miss Belle Holstien, and for
which he desires us to return his sincere
thanks.
At recent festival held for the
benefit of the Wesley M. L. Church at
Cedartown, Rev. j. II. Campbell, who
is the pastor of the Newark NJ. Z.
was presented by Mr.. Charles
NJ. Peters, the well-known nurseryman,
with a handsome watermelon weighing
40 pounds.
MIR. Wilbur +. Marvel, who has
been the very excellent and efficient
II. X. Agent at Queponco for over five
years, has resigned. The people at
Newark are very sorry that they are
going to lose his services in this capacity
as he is very highly esteemed by every
body in the community,
