troubles when the doctors snd profess
sors in three OF the best hospitals in
Baltimore, one in Boston, one in New

there was no cure for me without TAX

so went home to die. 1 was advised
by friend to go and see the Old Indi-
an Herb Medicine Man at 619 and 61S

four men 70 help me out of the wagon
into the Old Indian Herb Mans Office.
He looked at me and asked me some
questions and then told me in three
hours time he would take all pains
from me SO that / could get in my
wagon without help, and do it easily !;
so l did and in three days time felt ap-
parently as we'll as ever. Before going
to the Old Indian Herb Medicine man
it was necessary to lift me out of bed
like q new born infant and such pains
and aches that no human tongue can
describe. My head, back, arms, and
hands. body and legs were all pains
and aches. But the Old Indian Herb

entered suit against Mr.. Hagler for FIVE
thousand dollars damages.
The Evening Gall OF that city has
the following TO say of Editor Bagler:
"Since Hagler's residen .e in Bruins
wick he has made himself very often
sive in the nostrils of the best element
of his own race ard they will probably
rejoice il events should nscessitate his
leaVing Brunswick under similar cir
cumstances to those causing his depar-
ture from Atlanta. In that instance
Hagler was convicted OF criminal libel,
was jailed and the colored people, some
of whom he is now fighting raised funds
to paw his fine. Among those who helped
him is q well -known colored citizen of
Brunswick whom Hagler has since ma
ligned."
We have reasons to believe the per
son referred to above as having helped
Hagler is Sir O. A. Shaw, ex Grand
Chancellor of the +. of P. of the state.

SACK OF PORT-AU-PRINCE.

How MorEan's Buccaneers Fought
Into n HaytIan city.
When the fleet arrived at the near
est Haytian harbor, writes Frank r.
Stockton, Morgan, the pirate. landed
his men and marched toward the town.
but he did not succeed in making a Sc
cret attack, as he had hoped. A Span
Ssh prisoner had let himself drop over
board, and. swimming ashore, had
warned the Governor of the attack.
Thus prepared, this able commander
marched a body Of soldiers along the
road by which the pirates must come.
and when he found a suitable spot he
built a formidable barricade. Behind
this his soldiers were posted with their
muskets and their cannon.
But when Morgan came within sight
OF this barricade. he considered that it
would be entirely unnecessary to at
tempt to disturb the admirable defense,
so he marched his men into the woods,
led them entirely around the barricade,
and came out upon a wide plain before
the town.
Here he found that he would have to
fight his way into the city and proba-
bly, much to his surprise his men were
presently charged by body of caval-
ny.
The pirates routed the hcrsemen,
and, after fight OF about four hours,
took possession of the town. Here they
captured a great many prisoners
whom they shut up in the churches
and then sent attachments out
into the country to look fol
those who had run away. Then
these utterly debased and cruel men
took their usual course after capturing
a town; they pillaged, Toasted, and ri.
oted- Even when the poor citizens
seemed to have given up everything
they owned, they were told that if they
did not pay two heavy ransoms they
would be carried away into slavery
and that their town would be burn,
ed.
i Fer two weeks the pirates waited fol
the unfortunate people to go out int
the country and find some of their feI
lOw-citizens who had escaped with /,
portion OF their treasure. In those day
people did not keep their wealth IL
banks as they do now, but every maj
was the custodian OF most Of his EVIL
possessions, and when they fed from
the visitation OF an enemy they too
with them everything OF value tha
they could carry. Before the citizen
returned Morgan made a discovery;
negro was taken who was carrying let
tiers from the Governor OF Santiago,
neighboring city, to some Of the cit
zens OF Port-au-Prince, telling ther
not to be in too great a hurry to pa
abe ransom, because he was coMin
with strong forceto their assistanc,
When Morgan read these letters, b
changed his mind and thought it Woul
be wise thing not to stay in that n
gion any longer than could be helpet
So he decided not to wait for the ur
fortunate citizens to collect the heaV
ransom he demanded, but told thel
that IL they would furnish him wit
ave hundred head OF cattle, and ais
supply salt and help prepare the mes
for shipment, he would make no flu
theE demands upon them. This,
BOurse, the citizens were glad enoug
tQ do. and the buccaneers sailed away
$500.

SOME LARGE CEMETERIES.


Amount of land Required EOr Those In
Large Cities.
The dead OF London require an an
nual waste of twenty-three acres Of
valuable ground. If 1000 corpses are
crowded into the space of one acre, the
limit in the case Of the most popu-
lated graveyard, and if we accept the
present rate of mortality, 20 per 1000
Inhabitants, as The standard, New
York, with a population of 3,5OO,O 900,
would have to provide room for 10000
corpses, and would require annually
seventeen and a half acres to bury
them In. Unless the custom is changed
the available room in the vicinity OF
all large cities will gradually be alb
sorbed by remains Of the dead.
In considering the welfare Of indi-
viduals the expenditure of one may
benefit another; but citizens should Oe
treated on equal terms. With the ex-
ception Of Greenwood, almost all ceme-
teries used in the neighborhood OF
New York are either poorly managed
by churches or administered for the
beneit of few fortunate sharehold-
ers. The rural cemetery law, as
amended in 1879, allows them to divide
among themselves the net profits from
the sale Of plots. Realizing about $780,
600 for an acre, which hardly cost 81
600, their investments bring large rev.
enues and are esteemed valuable. BY
assuming the guise Of benevolent socie-
ties owners succeeded in evading pay
ment Of the taxes which their less for
tunate neighbors are obliged to pay.
The trustees are never called upon 20
make reports to che state, and they
give but scanty information to their
stockholders.
