SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP
Cured by One Bottle Of ChsmberIsins
Cough Remedy.

when had an attack Of the grip
last winter (lhe second one) actually
cured myself with one bottle Of Cham
berlaiu's Cough Remedy, says Frank
w. Perry, Editor Of the Enterprise,
Shortsyille, y Y. This is the honest
truth at times kept from coughing
myself TO pieces by taking a teaspoon
ful Of this remedy, and when the cough
ing spell would come on at night would
take a dose and il seemed that in the
briefest interval the cough would pass
OF and | would % 10 sleep perfectly free
from cough and its accompanying pains.
To say that the remedy acted as a most
agreeable surprise is putting u very
mildly. | had no idea that 1t would or
could knock out the grip, simply be-
cause had never tried il for such a
purpose. but it did, and il seemed with
the second attack Of coughing the rem
edy caused it TO not only be Of less du-
ration. but the pains were far less Sc
we're, and had not used the contents o.
one bottle before Mr.. Grip had bid mf
adieu." For sale by Reinhart's Phare

The Creation Of the Camel.

There is an Arab tradition cited in
Burtons Gold Mines Of Midian" re-
garding the creation of the camel
which illustrates the popular but er-
roneous opinion that this animal is
ugly in form aud temper.
The story goes that when Allah de-
termined to create the horse he called
the south wind and said, 81 desire TO
draw from thee new being con-
dense thyself by parting with thy flu
idity. The Creator then took a
handful of this element. blew upon it
the breath Of life and the noble quad
ruped appeared. But the horse com.
planned against his Maker. His neck
was too short to reach the distant grass
blades on the march, his back had no
hump to steady n saddle; his boofs
We're sharp and sank deep INTO the
sand and he added many similar
grievances.
Whereupon Allah created the cam
81 to prove the foolshness Of his com
plant. The horse shuddered at the
sight of what be wanted to become,
and this is the reason that every horse
starts when meeting its caricature for
the first time.

Wanted-A Little Girl.

Where have they gone to. the little girls
With natural manners and natural curls.
Who love their dollies and like their toys
And talk Of something beside the boys.
Little old women in plenty find,
Mature in manners and old of mind
Little old firts who talk Of their beauX
And vie with each other in stylish clothes.
Little old bellies who at nine and ten,
Are sick of pleasure and tired Of men,
Weary Of novels, balls and fun
And find no new thing under the sun.
Once in beautiful long ago
Some dear little children used TO know,
Girls who were merry as lambs at play.
And laughed and roIIieked the livelong day.
They thought not Of the style Of clothes;
They never imagined that boys were bcaux.
Other girls brothers and mates were they;
Splendid fellows to help them play.
Where have they gone to- Ifyou see
One Of them anywhere send her TO me.

the river for boat passage. 1t was
believed that while in this service be
conceived the idea of propelling boats
by steam. He retired from the SER
vice ofthe Potomac company and CON-
menced that untired and difficult task.
He spent more than a year in the dill
gent and unwearied application OF his
time and labor to this project; he had
to invent, form, manufacture and COM
plete all the complex machinery Of
wood, iron, brass and steel with his
brother-in-law, John Barns, who was
kind of secondary character, but
probably useful by direction from
James Rumsey, the principal. All
the work was performed and varie-
ty of experiments made behind closed
doors, or, if on the water, during the
night time. At length he built boat
fifty or sixty feet long, fiat on bottom,
but pointed at each end, launched her
at the ferry landing, placed therein
the machinery, and gave notice that
she would run up the river by the
force of steam some distance on a GER
tain day, the date Of which have un-
fortunately forgotten. Cheat atnumbers
attended to view this wonder, myself
among others, The boat received
about 7 or s tons of stone and several
ladies. Mr.. Rumsey attended to the
fire and machinery, and Capt. Charles
Morrow at the helm; the boat was
loosened and began to move, slowly
at first, but in a short time thereafter
as fast as a common pace or walk,
against the stream thus she contln-
ued to some distance above the Large
Rock, supposed nearly half a mile.

nance, etc. Among the siguers We're
General Horatio Gates, Col. John Nor
row, Captain Abraham Shepherd,
John Marsh, John Kearsley and many
others; nor was there doubt Existing
at the time but that this was the first

DEATH OF MR.. SIMMONS.

It is simply appalling, in this day
and time, the shocking murder ofthe
venerable father of United States
Senator Simmons, on his plantation
in Jones county, a quiet, courtly old
gentleman, who since the death OF
his devoted wife, a year O so ago,
has lived alone on his estate, looking
after his farming interests, feeling Sc
cure under the shield of the law, do
ing good to all with whom he came
in contact. Fearing God, loving his
fellow man and serving both-the
deep damnation Of his atrocious
murder deserves the most speedy
and condign punishment. The Sen
ator's hosts of friends in this city and
section deeply sympathize with him
in his sudden and sad bereavement.

SIZE OF GROWING CROP.

The cotton crop of last year in
Texas and Indian Territory was
2,831,OOO bales, and the size of the
crop of 10000 will largely depend
upon All increase or decrease in Tex
as. The reports from Texas r as
various as the localities, and it is i'm
possible to say how much damage
has been wrought by the boil weevil
and boil worms. The Galveston
News last week reviewed the Texas
crop, sits conclusions being that the
yield this year will exceed three
million bales, but the ICE above
three million bales will not be large.
If the boil weevi1 had not entered
the field this year a record crop
would have been made-possibly
four million bales. But the boil
weevil has rendered the making of d
bumper crop in Texas impossible.
Let us assume that the Texas crop
will be kept down by pests to three
million bales. The other States made
last year, in round numbers, 1900
900 bales, aud 1t is not probable they
can increase the product this year
more than 500, 900 bales. This would
make the crop II, zoe, 900 bales, and
this is about as good an estimate as
can be made at present.
Expert Theodore H. Price says,
however, that the crop will be 12,.
zoo, 900 bales. The high average con
dition of the crop, az shown by the
latest government reports, is tbs
basis of Mr.. Prices tall figures. NJ
one, however, believes that a high
condition viii be maintained, anc
more expect a crop III the neighbor
hood of eleven million bales thar
one larger or smaller.
