HENDsoNTILLE, s. @, Sept. 2, 1876.
Mr.. A. b. GIRARDEAU, Savannah, Ga.
DEAR SIR:-Some years ago operated float
ing saw mill on the Savannah River. My base of
operations was being constantly changed, and my
hands were always exposed to the worst malarial
influences ! employed over one hundred hands,
and the work was conducted as much in water as
out of it. For this reason, in August and Septem-
Der there was great loss of time and business, on
account of sickness among the workers.
My attention was then called to JOhnson's Chill
and Fever Tonic, and I determined to give the
medicine trial. | procured IT. and those who
were sick were put on this treatment and those who
feeling badly were at once given the Tonic
In a short time every one ofthe one hundred hands
was well and reported for duty and from that time
on used nothing else but Johnsons Tonic, and
never had another case of fever.
Yours very truly,
J. r. LASSITER.

Their Own Lookout.

There was an Irishman who after
reaching America was full of homesick
brag, in which nothing in America
even approached things of similar
variety in Ireland. In speaking of the
bees of the ould sod he grew especially
roseate and said:
"Why, the baZe in that country is
twice as big as in this. bedade. In
dade they're bigger than that-they're
as big as the sheep We have in this

"Bees as big as Sheep said his in
creduous listener. "Why, what kind
of hives do they have to keep them
in?"
"No bigger than the ones in this
country" was the reply.
"Then how do the bees get into the
hives?' he was asked.
"Well," replied the Irishman, that's
their own lookout"
Nature Took a Hand.
Dion Boucicault, playwright and
actor, was once playing a piece called
1.-THE Vampire" at London theater
The opening scene represented the
highest regions of the Alps by moon
light. A thunderstorm ragged in the dis
lance, the thunder, of course, being
produced in the usual manner by the
property mau with thunder sheet"
The vampire, Mr. Boucicault, was
seen lying on the highest mountain
peak, dead to all appearance, but as
a ray of the moon touched his body he
came to life.
One night after the moon had
brought him to life and when he was
in the middle of his first speech Mr..
Boucicault was suddenly interrupted
by a tremendous clap of thunder. Low
ering his voice so that it could be heard
only by the property man, he said in
dignantly:
Every well, Mr.. Davids, you are max
ing more mistakes. That clap of thun-
der came in the wrong place."
In stentorian tones. which could be
heard all over the auditorium, Mr.. Da-
vids replied:

One of the three occasions on which
Philip " of Spain laughed was as fol
lows: Philips first wife, Isabella of
Bourbon. died in 1915, and the next
year he married the Austrian Arch
duchess Maria Anna. This princess
understood Spanish but very imper-
fectly. Passing on her way to the cap
ital through certain town which WAS
distinguished for its silk manufactures,
she was presented by the inhabitants
with few dozen silk stockings. Heed
less of the queens presence. the master
of ceremonies snatched the parcel out
of the hands of the town councillors,
flung it on the ground and exclaimed in
a rage:
"Are you not aware that the queens
of Spain are not supposed to have any
legsT
The queen, with her imperfect knowl-
edge of Spanish. here began to weep.
called for her father confessor Reit-
hardt. and told him that she meant to
return to Austria. If she had known
that in order to become queen of Spain
it was necessary to have ones limbs
cut off, she would rather have died in
Germany than undergo the operation in
Spain. When this incident was related
to the king, he burst into loud laughter
before the whole assembled court.
