SONNET.

By Shakespeare. No longer mourn for me when I am dead Than you shall hear the surly. sulien bell Give warning to the world that l am fled From this vile world, with vilest worms to dwell; Nay. if you read this line remember not The hand that writ 1t; for l love you so, That I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot, If thinking on me then should make you woe. o, if q say). you look upon this verse when I perhaps compounded am with clay.
 not so much as my poor name re- hearse,
 It let your love even with my life decay;
 the wise world should look into your moan,
 mock you with me after am gone-

The Garbage oue.tIon.

 ''As one of the many housekeepers in Birmingham who advocate this backyard and alley cleanliness. want to know why the city does not do It's part in removing the garbage of the residence districts The women of Birmingham were under the impression that the city government would attend to this part of its business better than the firm of contractors had done, and accordingly there was rejoicing when 1t was put under the direct super vision of the City Fathers, but so far housekeeper In this city for the past five years and during that time have been obliged to telephone the city department for the removal of the garbage on the average of every two weeks, or else the wagon. fails to come.

Freak Weddinqs.

Speaking of a wedding which occurred in Birmingham recently, under rather peculiar circumstances, a gentleman said: Tt Is hard for the average person to sympathize with what l call freak we'd dings. We all remember the country couples who were married in the Ferris wheel and the captive balloon at the Chicago fair, and when I was a boy in Illinois 1t was a regular thing for a we'd ding to occur at the annual county fair; in fact the marriage of some country couple was as much a feature of the fair as the trotting race or the fat hog competition. I once heard of a couple this occurred not more than six or seven years ago-who were married at mid- night, close to the center of the Brooklyn bridge
 But the funniest thing that I have ever seen in the wedding line was right here in Alabama. The young couple lived in small town where there was a private electric light plant. and they decided tc have an electric wedding The church was festooned with many colored elec- tric lights. and as a crowning acheive- ment In sartorial decoration, the groom wore scarf pin, formed of a small cleo tric light bulb. operated by a portable pocket battery In the midst of the eere- mony something went wrong with the plant, and all the lights went out. ex- cepting the bridegroom's headlight scarf pin. This Is. I believe. the only instance on record where the bridegroom at a wed. ding was the 'cynosure of all eyes,, but in this case he was It. But tell me. what mental attribute Is 1t that moves some people to choose extra public occasions on which to get married"

River Steamers,

"on certain of our river steamers it has been decided to do away with the frils and fancy work on the smoke stacks" said gentleman from Mobile. These ornaments rust off and fall to the deck, frequently causing serious ac- cidents. Cases have been known where men lost their lives by ornamental fue tops collapsing. and 1t is predicted that eventually these picturesque but un- necessary adjuncts of the river packet will disappear.
 Personally. I am sorry to, see this in- novation and the passing away of the familiar jagged ring about the top of the stack. which is the first part of the boat to loom up down the river as she rounds the bend. However. this is small thing to sigh oyer. Tor 1t will not be many years before the boats them selves will be practically relics of the past"

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an in1amed con
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it Is
entirely closed, deafness is the result
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever. Nine cases out OF ten
are caused by Calarrh, which is moth
ing but an inhamed condition Of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

The Proposed Railroad.

A representative OF the new trans
continental railroad which is to be
constructed from the coast has spent
several days in this city, completing
his work here yesterday, says the Car
son News.
This road is TO compete with the
Southern Pacific and will be built as
quickly and along as straight a route
as tho topography of the country viii
permit.
The san Francisco papers report
that the Goulds are behiud it and the
money already expended for rights-of-
way, water front, etc, ON San Francis
co bay demonstrate that the company
means business.
The road viii come through the
Beckwith Pass, and if present plans
are net deviated from will pass through
this city. From here the route is al
most a direct line to salt Lake, run
ming near Austin and Eureka and
passing south Of the Ruby mountains.
The route is an advantageous one,
presenting no such difficulties as those
encountered by the Central Pacific.
The representative who completed
his business in this city yesterday was
here for the purpose of bonding lands
on the fat north of this city and be-
tween the city limits and the hot
springs
He has secured option and bond on
nearly all Of it ont that way, goodly
portion of which was secured from o.
T. Schultz, Charles Slingerland and s.
p. Davis. He made contracts and an
advance payment upon the various
properties. He was asked several
times by those with whom he contract
ed what use the land was to be put to,
but refused to give the information.
