Her general health, her future happiness
her good looks, her physical strength, her
capability as wife and mother and the
health and strength of generations to come
are dependent upon this.
Nothing in the world will destroy the
good looks, wholesomeness, the amiability,
and the usefulness of woman quicker
organs that bear the burdens of maternity.
DR.. Plerce's Favorite Prescription is the
best of all medicines for women who are
ailing in this way. 1t makes woman
strong and healthy where a woman most
needs health and strength. It relieves
pain, soothes inflammation, heals u1cera-
ton and gives rest and tone to the tortured
nerves 1t cures all the ills and pains too
commonly considered an uncomfortable in
heritance of womankind. 1t has been used
for over thirty years with an unbroken
record of success. More of it has been sold
than of all the other medicines for women
combined. 1t is the discovery of Dr. R. V.
Pierce, for thirty years chief consulting
physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. He will
cheerfully answer, without charge, all let
ters from ailing women.
Three years ago." writes Mrs. J. N Messler
of 1894 Vanderbilt Avenue, New York, N. Y, 1.-The

have an operation performed. could not walk

Prescription and after three bottles 7 could

Torpid liver and constipation are surely
and speedily cured by Dr. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets. They never gripe. They regulate,
tone UP and invigorate the liver, stomach
and bowels No substitute urged by mer-
cenary dealers is as good.

each of these countries arose black
and heavy clouds which united in one
great mass; through these spread lurid
lightnings, and l beheld immense
! legions of armed multitudes, march
ing and sailing towards America q,
| which soon were enveloped in the
black clouds And now / beheld how
these immense armies wasted and
burned our towns and cities. And
now heard the thunder of cannon,
the furious clash OF the swords, and
the war shouts of millions encounter
ed IN deadly strife,
ri again heard the mysterious
sound, son of the republic, look and
learn After this the dark angel gave
another loud, long and fearful blast.
Now suddenly broke forth and dis
persed the black clouds from over the
American country. After this saw
the angel with the glorious crown in
scribed Union descending from
heaven accompanied by legions Of
glorified spirits, having in one hand
sword and in the other the Star Span
gled Banner
"Now again, amid the din of battle,
heard the voice, Son of the republic,
look up and learn After the report
of his voice, the dark angel for the
last time, dipped water and sprinkled
it on the American continent, when
the dark clouds with their armies
rolled back instantly, leaving the glol-
ious victory to the Americans. Then
saw villages, towns and cities and
improvements arise like magic, while
the angel of light planted the Star
Spangled ban er amid the vast multi
tudes of people and cried, AS long as
the stars of heaven endure and the
dew falls upon the earth, so long shall
this republic endure And while he
took and set it upon the Star Spangled
Banner, the vast multltudes bending
under it, unitedly cried out, 'Amen.'
"Now by degrees the vision vanish
ed, leaving nothing but the mysterious
and very beautiful female figure, who
once more said: Son Of the republic,
what thou hast seen is thus to be ex-
pounded: Three great and dangerous
calamities will come over this repub-
lie; the second is the greatest. When
this event shall come, then the whole
world cannot conquer it. Now let
every citizen of this republic learn to
serve God, his fatherland and the
blessed Union With these words the
image disappeared. l arose from my
chair with the full conviction that
this was revelation to me of the birth
of this republic, its progress and its
varied destinies."
All this history, says Mr.. Sherman,
l myself heard from the mouth OF
General Washington.-Kansas City

Hints Of Value to tho Cook and House
fkeeDer.

Hints of Value to tho Cook and House,
keeper.
When loaves of bread are baked in
too hot an oven and the outside crust
gets too brown do not attempt to cut
it off, but as soon as the bread is cold
rub it over with coarse tin crater and
remove all the dark brown crust.
Always remember that one of the best
appetizers is pleasant conversation.
1t is said that if each of the large pep
pers is rolled in paper and put in dark,
cold place it will keep green and may
be used for a vegetable until midwinter.
When baking a custard pudding or
pie, as soon as the custard becomes
solid remove the dish from the oven, for
too long cooking will make custard
watery.
a delicious sauce is made from grated
horseradish root mixed with lemon
juice, little salt, and q suspicion of
white sugar. Served with cold meats, it
makes them much more inviting and
palatable. This sauce will retain its
flavor for some time if kept we'll COW
cred when not being used. Made with
the juice of a lemon, the root does not
discolor so quickly as when made in the
old way with vinegar.
One of the best and quickest ways of
cleaning the isinglas windows in stove
is with vinegar and water. Dip soft
cloth in the vinegar and water, and
quickly rub the windows over, going
we'll into the corners. The windows will
remain clean for long time.-N. Y. Sum.

SLAVES INSURED IN LOTS.
il Glimpse of the Old-Time Way of Pro-
lection from Loss in Human Property.

lection from Loss in Human Property.
The Picayune was lately shown by Il
prominent insurance agent a life pol
icy, which, in the light of the present
methods of insuring, is curiosity in
more ways than one.
1t was sent here by Memphis agent,
headed Negro Policy" numbered 365,
issued by the Phoenix Insurance COM
pany Of ST. Louis, dated in that city the
10th Of March, 1851, and signed by John
B. Camden, president, and w. Fl. Pritch-
artt, secretary.
The premium paid was $3.50, and the
risk was for $4,000 for three months
from noon of March 4, 1851, to noon of
June 4, 1851, on 16 slaves, as follows:
Tom, Frank, Sophie, Eviline, Jordan,
Daniel, Ann, Hester, Henry, Lew, Ze
lima, Ellen, Nelson, Mary, Charlotte
and Ann, in favor of Bolton, Dickins &
Co., of Memphis, Tenn, being at the
rate OF $500 on the life of each one who
raight die during the continuance of pol
icy.
The restrictions in the document read
that the said slaves 'shall have only
The privilege of travelling in the usual
conveyances on land, rivers, lakes, Or
inland seas, and of residing in any of
the states and territories of this union,
or the British provinces of North Amer
lea, north of 30 degrees north latitude
and 20 degrees west longitude from
Washington city, except that from the
18th of July to the 1st day of Nov ember,
i'll each and every year, it shall not be
lawful for the insured to visit Or re-
side south of "a degrees north latitude,
and 20 degrees west longitude from
Washington city, or enter into the mil
ltary or naval service whatever (the
militia now in actual service eXccptedl
without such permission previously
obtained and indorsed on this policy,
or in case they shall die in consequence
Of duel or by the hands of justice, or
III the known violation of any law OF
this state or of the United States, or
CT the said provinces, or if the said
slaves shall be engaged in any capac-
ity on a steamboat, raft or vessel Of
any description, without the permis-
sion of said company previously OBJ
tanned and indorsed on this policy, or
shall run away or be kidnapped; then
and in all such cases the said company
shall not be liable for the payment of
the said sum insured or any part there
of, and this policy, SO far as relates to
such payment, shall be entirely void.
This policy shall be void if assigned
without the consent of the company"
There was a loss sustained under this
policy, as the following Endorsement
will show:

company $49s.0S in full, in payment of

ON A COURT MARTIAL.
Lieuts. DeOtte and Hall Talk of Their
Alaskan Experiences.

Lieut.. d. f. A. DeOtte of the revenue
cutter Boutwell, will leave the city this
morning for Port Tampa, where he goes
to serve on a court martial which has
been delegated to try Lieut.. Hasson of
the cutter Mclean on charges Of conduct
unbecoming an officer and a gentleman
Lieut.. DeOtte will go from Port Tampa
after the court martial direct to New
berne, N. c., to JOIN the Boutwell,, which
has been transferred 10 that station, and
winch will go there from Savannah as
soon as the cutter Hamilton reaches Sa-
Vannah.
Both Lieut.. DeOtte and Lieut.. E. W.
Han, who is here to join the Hamilton,
had many Interesting experiences while
serving out on Pacific waters, Lieut.. De-
Otte on the Corwin and Lieut. Hall on
the Bear. They have been witnesses Of
some great suffering on the part of igno-
rant but hopeful gold hunters, who went
out only to waste their little surplus and
then look to the government TO get them
nome. Both Of them speak of men who
We're round at st. Mchaels without cent,
with nothing to eat, and practically starry
ing.
The revenue cutters brought a great
many of these people back to San Fran
CISCO and other places along the Pacific
COAST as cnarlty passengers, feeding them
on the way. Now and then a man slipped
IN as a charity passenger who had big
belt OF gold around his waist The gov
eminent finally notified the two steamship
companies who were taking people to
Alaska that they would have to bring
the charity passengers back themselves.
The company agreed to bring back those
they carried up, but would not consent to
bring others.
Ihey both say that the situation out
there has been greatly Overdrawn in many
instances, and that few others besides the
OLD hardened miners have made anything
OUT OF IT. The man not used 10 labor who
went there, might occasionally strike it
fIch but as rule he would always come
Dack with severe rheumatism or some
other complaint which was liable to stay
by him all his life, The man who went
out and came back with as much as S. 900
IN gold was considered 10 have done well.
though in some few instances much larger
sums were secured. Neither of these gen
tlemen would advise fortune seekers to
make trip to the Klondike unless they
have a capital Of $1,000 10 5000 10 be-
gin with, know what it is to labor and
work hard, and can stand a temperature
OF 30 degrees in the summer and 40 degrees
below zero in the winter and untold mil
lions of mosquitoes during the summer
months.
