most charming women of New York to a
friend, to ask how b busted herself. |

mea by. that. 1 will tell you, A few
yearsi ago life was a burden to me. I had
been a victim to female weakness of the
most aggravated character for a long
time, and the doctors failed TO help me.
Existence was a long, steady, terrible tors
ture-a lingering living death One day
I saw DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
advertised in a newspaper. Something in
the advertisement impressed me favorably
I caught at the glimmer of hope, it held
as a drowning man is said to catch at a

who has proved ouch a benefactor of

New YORK, Feb: 24.-The fol-

charges against Erastus Wyman is
sent out by his counsel, General

NEW YORK, Feb. q. 1894.

of the case and the facts upon
which the indict ments are
founded. l am entirely satisfied
after such examination that Mr..

state of facts which will show that
Mr.. Wilman is cot only not q
criminal but that he has done
nothing that can seriously reflect
upon his honor and integrity as a

trying my cases in the newspapers,
but in view Of the extent to which

FALLING F A LOG;

"As easy as falling off a log" is an
ond eaying. When ii. was first uttered
lobody knows. Nothing is easier, n
less it is the taking of a dose of DR.,
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. These act
like magic. No gripping or drenching
follows, as is the case with the old
fashioned pills, The relief that follows
resemble the action of Nature in her
happiest moods; the impulse given to
the domant liver is of the most salu-
tary kind. and is speedily manifested
by the disappearance of all bilious syms
ptons. Sick headache, wind on the
stomach. pain through the right side
and shoulder blade, and yellowness of
theskin and eye balls are speedily rem
edied by the Pellets,

BRAZILIAN AFFAIRS.

RI DE- JANB1Ro, Feb. 24.-The
destruction OF the Insurgent trans>
port MERCER, which was sunk By
the fire If the guns of the Govern.
.nent battery at Ponta Madame, is
said to have resulted 10 considerable
loes of life to the rebels. The shots
which caused the q"ssels destruc~
ton penetrated her boiler which
burst aud killing a number of the
insurgents, the ship then caught
fire and many of the Injured are
said to have been burned to death
as the transport was burning
fercely when che sunk. A number
were drowned while attempting to
swim ashore and others were cupe
tured by the Government forcea.
All Geographic commun cation
with Bahia has been cut of. This
has caused considerable sensational
comment in and abou: the city.
According to the most generally
believed report that Peixotto'e
feet has finally left Bahia for Re
de Janeiro and this was TIE reason
of the Government cutting off tele-
graphic communication with the
port mentioned. According to an
other report there has been q
battle there and tue Insurgents are
supposed to have gained some
kind of an advantage. There il

"The true attitude of the white
people of the South toward the negro
population is not to be gathered
from the criminal records-the out
RACES perpetrated by negro outlaws
and the lawless lynchings that
swiftly follow-but rather from the
steady accommodations, the better
education, the improved earnings and
greater thrift and temperance Of the
mass Of negroes. AS a rule the ne
gro is better treated, and is making
more rapid progress in the Southern
than in the Northern States.
The experience of negroes who
have left the South to better their
condition in the north and west cor.
roborates the state of the Record,
Nowhere in this country has the
negro so wide a field or so fair a
chance to get ahead as he has in the
South.

THE NEGRO IN THE SOUTH.

All the ISLANDERS Of the Southern
people which relate to their alleged
treatment of the negro are e
whelmingly answered by facts. MI.
George w. Cable, one of the unfair
est of all the critics of the South,
recently made an effort to prove that
the negroes Of this section more than
paid for the education of their chill
dren. This proposition was so alb
surd that Mr.. Gable made a COM
plete iasco in his efforts to demon>
strate its truth. The Philadelphia
Record, a paper which takes a
a friendly interest in the develops
ment and progress of the South. has
the following excellent editorial on
this subject !;

the cruelties practiced upon the ner

Our correspondent above Is one of
the ablest, bra1niest and most thought
full men in the State, and he has
well nigh measured the years Of mans
allotted span of life,so that his words
should "engage attention" and cause
not only every sincerely Democratic
newspaper but also every Demo-
crat in the State to take heed of
every line they write and every word
they utter,lest they give succor to an
enemy that had It's origin in anar-
chy and socialism, received some
comfort and much furtherance in
the Republican strongholds of the
north and northwest, with the pre-
conceived design of disrupting the
Democratic South-nor was the fa~
bled Trojan Horse more direful. It is
therefore appalling to see how some
Democratic newspapers and men
are lending their aid to batter down
the walls Of the Democratic party in
this State that this great to
established institutions may be the
more easily brought into our very
midst,
It is time to cease all wrangling
inside of party lines, take on united
action and present an unbroken
shield-c.asped front to the enemy, and
then the Democracy of yore will still
march on to victory.

Dear Aryus:-I think it is high
time I favored you with a communi-
cation from this section.
The Superior Court is 10 session,
Judge Brown presiding. His charge
to the Grand Jury, was, in our opin-
ion, we'll timed and to the point, and
also remarkable fer it's breyity. He
is. in fact, an able Judge, and will
commend himself to the confidence
of the people. There has been, in
attendance, an unusual number OF
members of the Bar, owing espec-
tally to the case involving officials OF
the Bank of New Honover, repres
sented oy Col. A. M. Waddell, and
Hon. A. G. Ricaud, tf Wilmington.
W S. OBJ. Robinson, ESQ and Hon.
@. B. Aycock, Of Goldsboro, also Exs

Allow me to congratulate you
upon the faithful stand you have
taken in the support and advocacy
of Democratic integrity and unity.
This is no time for abuse OF d
Democratic administration, espec.
tally by so,called ard hitherto con-
81 dered Democratic papers. "Consis'
tency, thou art a jewell. All abuse
of the administration is, indeed, but
giving laid and comfort" to our op-
posers. We think and believe, thai
it is high time this thing be stopped
and if for no other reason that
alone, Ct its demoralizing effect upol
the party, calculated to ALLEVIATE
many, and contributing to the up
building of parties obnoxious tt
Democratic principles.
Whenever this matter comes to tn,
test, we think you will find the PEG
pie you. Nous Verrons.

tant changes in the political rank
Of the Democracy here, as far as W,
are Informed, but the Third partyite
are working day and night, aud ar

We hope they will be disappointed
If, howeve-, so>called Democrat
papers will persist in their incon
sisteLt course, calculated to divid
