I deem it my duty to inform you of the won

dies brought upon our little baby, three months
old. When about two and one-half months old.
the whole of its little head became one mass of
putrefaction, over which we became very much
alarmed, as the medicine prescribed by our physi
cian only seemed to aggravate and increase tha
Intense pain the little thing seemed to be in. W
were utterly at a loss to know what to do, as

of Rev. J. G. Ahem, pastor of Brooks Circuit
M. E. Church Society, we were induced to try
the CtmctTBA Remedies, and after a few days
application, we were astonished as well as de
lighted over the result. We continued the use of tha
medicine according to directions, and after a few
weeks, the little fellow was entirely cured with no
traces of the disease left. Many thanks for this
wonderful cure. ' ' .

The funny man and the cynical
writer can always find something
witty and sharp to say about women
collectively; in other words, he al
ways shoots forth his sallies at long
range. Here are a few of their gen
eralizations: ! Bidu, one of the reputed
sages, said: "Whether women be
handsome or not does not signify.
If they are ugly they turn one's
stomache; if they are lovely they turn
one's head." Montague said he
would not be a woman, for then he
could not love her. And Lady Mon
tague remarked that the only ob
jection she had to be a man was that
she would then have to marry a wo
man. A modern wit defines the difference
between men and women: "A man
gives forty cents for a twenty-five
cent thing he wants, and a woman
gives twenty five cents for a forty
cent thing she does not want."
On the subject of courtship and
marriage we can report some interest
ing sayings. A German writer says
a young girl is a fishing-rod, the eyes
being the hook, the smile the bait,
the lover the gudgeon, the marriage
the butter in which he is fried. There
are really two eventful periods in a
woman's life: one when she wonders
who she will have or who will have
her. A cynical sailor has given his
reason why a ship is called "she."
It is because the ships are useless
without employment, they bring news
from abroad, they wear caps and
bonnets, they are often painted, and
and a man never knows the expense
until he gets one. During the war
Artemus Ward observed: "None
but the brave deserve the fair, and
none but the brave can live with
some of them." Here is a purely
ironical description of the sex: "A
woman is a mighty handy thing to
have about the house. She doesn't
cost any more to keep than you'l
give her, and she'll take a great in
terest in you. If you go out at night,
she'll be awake when you get home,
and then she'll tell you all about your
self, and more, too."
As to wives, some vile traducer
says that a month before marriage
and a month after death, men regard
their wives as angels.
Dauglas Jerrold observed: "My
notion of a wife at forty is that a
man should be able to change her
like a bank note, for two twenties."
A gentleman one rode up to a public
hpuse in the country and asked:
''Who is the master of this house?"
1 am, sir," replied the landlord; "my
wife has been dead about three
weeks."
There is nothing so calculated to
call up the deep earnestness of a true
foman, and enlist her most faithful
evotion, as the doing up of her back
air. There was once upon a time a
onnecticut man who believed in self-
improvement, and who suggested to
his wife that they should argue some
question frankly and freely every
evening , and try to learn more of
each other. The question for the
first night happened to be whether a
woman could be expected to get
along without a spring hat, and he
took the affirmative; but they say
that when he was last seen he had
climbed up into the hay-loft, and
was pulling the ladder up after him.
A gentleman conversing with a
Brooklyn lady about the absurdity of
female apparel and the frivolity of
fashionable hie, exclaimed: "Is there
on earth a bigger fool than a mere
woman ol lashiom; Her : questioner
considered himself shut lib and put
down, like a disagreeable book, when
the lady answered: "Yesj the man
who admires her."
"Woman," quoth Smith, "are the sal
ad of life.
At once a boon and a blessing."
"In one way they're are salad, indeed,"
replied Brown,
"They take so much time in their
dressing."
I t is said that the full dress of a
native lady in Colombo is a hairpin
and two garters, and in the West In
dies that ladies wear corsets from in
stinct a natural love of being
squeezed.
Much ridicule has been heaped
upon woman because they can't keep
a secret. A gentleman sat down to
write a deed, and began with "Know
all women by these presents. "You
are wrong said a by-stander; "it
ought to be Know all men." "Very
well," answered the other, "if all wo
men know it all men will of course."
Said Lord A to a friend, who
wished to convey a matter of impor
tance to a ladv without directlv com
municating with her: "How can you
be certain 01 her readme the letter:
seeing that you have directed it to her
husband?" "That I have managed
without a possibility of a failure," was
the answer. "She'll open it to a cer
tainty, for I have put 'private' in the
corner.
However they say that the portrait
of a real woman that kept a secret is
in the British Museum. It is said
not to resemble any woman now living-
As to the want of certain peculiari
ties in women, we furnish these illus
trations: A teacher ask a boy who
was the meekest man? "Moses, sir,"
was the answer. ' 'Very well, my boy;
and now who was the meekest
woman?" "Please sir, there never
was any meekest woman." Brook
lyn Eagle.

When you make up your mind to
take Hood's Sarsaparilla, do not be
induced to buy some other prepara
tion instead. Clerks mav claim that
j "ours is as good as Hood's" and all
that, but the peculiar merit of Hood s
Sarsaparilla cannot be equalled.
Therefore have nothing to do with
substitutes and insist upon haying
Hood's Sarsaparilla, the best blood
prurifier and building-up medicine.

REVIEWS.
Some of The Excellent Periodicals on ,Our
Tahle.
"WAS IT SUICTDE?"
Why marriage is sometime a failure
is an interesting and important ques
tion to all ; and everyone, married or
single, should read the absorbing
story with the above title, by the
poet-novelist Ella Wheeler Wilcox,
written in that popular author's most
forcible style, which is published in
the September number of that always
bright periodical, Demorest's Family
Magazine. It contains, besides an
abundance of other good reading
matter, just the sort that one enjoys
at this season. There is a splendid
article, fully illustrated, about "Brazil."
"A poet at Home" tells about Ella
Wheeler Wilcox and her lovely
home, and with it are pictures of
"the poet's corner" and portraits of
her in some of her noted gowns ;
whether you ever enjoyed that rare
sport moose hunting or not, you will
be interested in "A Stray Shot at a
Moose," written by the fortunate ama
teur sportsman who brought down
his game at the first shot, which, is
also finely illustrated ; "A seven
Days' Tramp and What it cost"
describes a "tramp" made by eight
girls and a chaperon, and the chaperon
tells the story ; then there are stories
and poems, and the various depart
ments are replete with useful and
amusing matter, and are nearly 200
illustrations, besides a beautiful water
color, "Play ball, Pa !" which appeals
to every admirer and devotee ofbase
ball. And this is only a fair sample
of what one gets monthly in this ideal
Family Magazine, which is published
for $2 a year, by W. Jennings Demo
rest, 15 East 14th St., New York
City.
THE NESTOR OF MAGAZINES.
The September number of The
North American Review opens with
a brilliant reply to Goldwin Smith's
paper, entitled "New Light on the
Jewish Question," which appeared
in The Review for August. The
author of "Goldwin Smith and the
Jews" is Isaac Besht Bendavid, who
shows himself to be a man of great
learning and ability, as well as a
skilled controversialist. An article
which cannot fail to attract widespread
attention is -"A Plea for Railroad
Consolidation," by C. P. Huntington
the well-known financier and presi
dent ot the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company. Mr. Huntington believes
that it would be a good thing all
around if all the railroads of the
country were consolidated under one
control, and the arguments with
which he supports his position are
full of force. 'Mrs. Mary A. Liver
more, who has a wide reputation as
a lecturer and preacher, writes with
enthusiasm on the subject of
"Co-operative Womanhood in the
State," showing how much women
are doiug for themselver and the
community by organization. The
great feat of Lieutenant Cushing in
blowing up the ram "Albemarle"
is graphically depicted by the late
Admiral Porter, in a hitherto un
published letter written by him some
time before his death to General
James Grant Wilson. The Hon.
Charles K. Tuckerman, formerly
United States Minister to Greece, fur
nishes a budget of fresh and vivacious
"Anecdotes of English Clergymen."
In an article entitled "Dogs and
their Affections' Ouida writes con
amore, and gives some most interest
ing incidents of the tenderness and
fidelity of the dog, of which she is
an enthusiastic admirer. "The Ideal
Sunday" is considered by the Rev.
Charles H. Eaton, pastor of the
church of the Divine Paternity, New
York, who enters a plea for the Sun
day opening of art-galleries museums
and music-halls. Clara Morns con
tribufes some entertaining "Reflec
tions of an Actress," showing the
attractions of the stage, as well as
the severe discipline which stage
people have to undergo. Chapter I.
of the inside history of the negotia
tions for the establishment of a naval
station by the United States at the
Mole St. Nicolas is furnished by
Frederick Douglass, who has
just resigned the post of United
States Minister Haiti. Mr. Douglass
feels that he bos been maligned in
connection with this matter, and is
desirous of letting the public know
his side of the story. "Is Drunken
ness Curable?" is the title of an
important symposium, the contribtors
to which are Dr. William A. Ham
mond, Dr. T. N. Crothers, Dr
Elon N. Carpenter, and Dr. Cyrus
Edson, all of whom have special
qualifications for dealing with this
question. Their conclusion in gener
al is that dmnkenness is curable,
though the probabilties of a cure
depend much upon the will-power
and moral stamina ot the patient.
There is the usual variety among the
Notes and Comments, which include
papers on " 'Our Dreadful American
Manners.' " bv O. G. Adams, "The
Value ot Vanity," by Junius Henri
Browne, and "The Ideal University,
by the Rev. John Miller, of Princeton

Prof. R. T. Claywell, the newly
appointed magistrate at Piedmont
Springs, performed his first marriage
ceremony last Monday night when
Zachariah Kalmla Taylor led his
blushing bride, Miss Maria Azalia
Carpenter to the hymeneal altar.
The Professor got the ceremony
little bit mixed up with the affidavit
for assault and battery and made both
parties hold up their right hands and
kiss the book but the witnesses say
that he delivered the oath in a very
determined way and that the parties
were evidently impressed. As an
additional security, Mr. Taylor, who
was presistently called "the defend
ant" by the magistrate, was required
to give a mortgage on his corn crop
conditioned for the faithful perform
ance of his marriage vows. John
Anderson, who had a special invita
tion to attend the marriage, says he
thinks Zach and Maria were about as
thouroughly tied up as the circum
stances would allow. M 01 ganton

The Old Order Changes and Yieldeth to the

It seems quite an odd thing to
find a man who in 1836 ran a locomo
tive on the Richmond and Fredericks
burg railway still at work for a rail
way company; but the man lives here.
He is Mr. Albert Johnson. The en
gines then weighed from five to eight
tons. They had no pilot, no head
light and no cab. English fashion,
the driver or engineer stood out in
the weather. The first engines on
the Wilmington and Weldon railway
weighed ten tons each. They were
the Dudley, the Haywood, the
Greene and the Sampson. People
would go many miles to see them now.
But no doubt they were all cut up
years ago, just as the first engines
on the Raleigh and Gaston Road, the
Volcano, Toruado, Whirlwind and
Spitfire, were cut up when they ought
by all means to have been preserved.
