multitude of bills asking for appro
priations increased until they em
braced all the known harbors and
rivers. of the North that required
any care, and sometimes rivers that
were not known to the geography
makers nor to any one else. Thus
i immense sums were not only appro
priated and used, but immense sums
were stolen and squandered.
Of late years, however, Southern
Congressmen have awakened to the
propriety of asking that the great
section 'from which they hail
should have some of the
benefits Of these appropriations,
3)ut they have been remarkably mod-
- est in their demands, and easily sat
isfied. But they have new allies in
interests that they did not have in
: yejsrs gone by. The great West looks
to the rivers running southward, and
: to Southern ports as the . outlets for
them, the cheapest, shortest and
' most direct to the markets of tie
world, which buy the products of
their farms and slaughter house?.
They are interested in the Southern
wAfer ways, and' will favor improve
ments which in times gone by they
might have opposed. By concert of
action between Southern representa
" tives and Western repres ntativep,
who are friendly, it is possible to accomplish-much
for the South if our
representatives are alive and push
- their claims as they should be pushed.
Ne w York World : A colored clers
' rgyman of Burlington,'kN. J., sent four
of his children to one of the public
schools, and met opposition thereto
by bringing a suit in the" Supreme
court, resulting in a decision compel
Ubg the school to receive the colored
children. Whereupon fifteen of the
pupils withdrew from the school and
the rest are devoting their energies
to making things generally unpleas
ant for the colored children, whose
father has been forced to : appeal to
the Trustees for their protection from
insult. It would seem as if Messrs
Sherman,. Logan, Foraker & Co.,
had prematurely abandoned the mis
sionary field and that there was
something to do for- the colored
brother a little this side of the Sunny
South.
The prohibition campaign waxes
hotter and hotter in Atlanta as the
election draws , nigh. Both sides
seem confident ofJvictOry. An enthu.

said he had no doubt of victory as "the

ta," coupling this with the political
observation that they had also com
maud of a big campaign fund, which
in the observation of a . good many
people these days goes a good deal
further in election : contests than the

th lesson by oting the specimens, a
practical ill nitration which they greatly
n oyed. '
A very large" wooden globe, on the
nrface of which the various features of
the earth as tney came up for discussion
ould be show, served to make them
mora clear and vivid. The children
took their own share in the instruction,
and wer them solves made to point out
and describe that which . had just been
explained to them. They took home
their collections, and as a preparation
for the next lesson were often called
upon to classify and describe some un
usual specimen by their own uuaided
eiiorts. There was no teHium in the
class. A gaesiz's lively, clear, and 'at
tractive method of teaching awakened
their own powers of observation in his
little pupils, and to some at least opened
permanent sources of en oyment.
Iiis in uence over pupils and his fac
ulty of inspiring them with a love for
their work were not less marked in the
United States, and are still the theme
of many an affectionate published rem
iniscence After . his second marriage
(his (ifst wife died m hurope) Agassis
lived much more comfortably, and his
last years were never disturbed, by pe
cuniary .; troubles,, Har ard built a
house for him to which he became much
attached.
For his vto:k also the house was ex
treacly con venient. His habits in this
respect were, however, singularly inde
pendent of place and circumstance
i. nlike most studious men, he had no
fixed spot in the house for writing. Al
though the library, with the usual out
fit of well filled shelves, maps, large
tables, etc. , held his materials, he
brought what he needed for the even
ing by preference to " the drawing-room,
and there with his paper on
his knee, and his books ior reference on
a chair beside him, he wrote and read
as gbusily as if he were quite alone.
Sometimes when . dr.ncing and musie
were'going on among the young people
o: the family and their guests, he drew
a litf le table into the corner of the
room, and contined his occupations as
undisturbed and engrossed as if he had
been in complete solitude only looking
up from time to time , with a pleased
smile or an apt remark, whiuh showed
that he did not lose but rather enjoyed
what was going on about him.
His children's friends were his
friends. As his daughters grew up, he
had the habit of inviting their more
intimate companions to his library for
an afternoon weekly. On these occa
sions there was ' always some subjeot
connected with the study of nature
under ditcusttlon, but the talk was so
easy and so fully illustrated that it did
not ftcem lfk a leeson.

TbTscIasB of troublesome comsiaints embraces
a large list, some of which embraces every family
in the land. Heretofore tho treatment of nearly
all these diseases his ben very unsatisfactory and

f.'ecelved by pretended remedies. A ma'ority are
caused by an impune, vttiatrd condition of the
blooi, and as most of the blood 3-nedies of the
day require CO to 100 bottles before you discovd
that tht-y will not effect a cure, we o3er B. B B.,
which makes positive cures oy tha- use of only a
few bottles.
The most common of the Bkfn diseases
are cured by the use ot B. B. B , the only
Blood Purifier, are as follows:
Eczema, 01dTSTleers,
Impetigo, Abseesses,
Erysipelas, Dry Tetter, -
EIrigworm, Carbuncles,
Soaldhead, Itching Humors,
Pruritus, BlotcLes,
Old Sores, Herpes,
Pimp'es, Boils,.
Itch, Splotches,
is sought by the uie of cosmetics and all sort
of external applications, some of them being pois
ons. - '
All females love to look pretty (which gentlemen
do not object to) and a sme tb, soft, clear com
plexion adds greatly to female charms.
The use of B. B. B. will purify your blood, will
remove blotches, splotches and bumps that ap
pear upon the face and neck, ane will tinge the
pale cheeks with the roseate hues of nature. One
or two bottles will convince any one of its value.
No family should fall to keep B. B. Ban the house,
a there Is no family medicine Its equal.

One author says: "Rheumatism is due to the
presence in the blood of a vegetable, organism of
definite characters.'' .
Another says: "Itlsdneto the presence of a
poison Id the blood which Is of the nature of a
miasm."
The disease having Its orlglon In tbe blood, It ts
reasonable to suppose that K must be cured by
remedies directed to the blood.
A succeseful remedy must produce ; certain
changes In the composition of the blood and when
this has been accomplished, all pain, swelling and
stiffness of the Joints subside.
This accounts for tie reason why external appli
cations fail to produce permanent relief.
But we now have the remedy . which acts like
magic In giving rellet to all forms of rheumatism,
rheumatic gout, rheumatism of the Joints, muscles
and heart. It also cures syphilitic and mercurial
pains and rheumatism in an Incredible short time.
The fact cannot be denied that B. B. B. (Botanic
Biood Balm ) has proven Itself to be the most
speedy and wonderful remedy for all forms of rhen.
matism ever before known.; Those who were pros
trated ta bed and could not get about, have
been cured. Men with two crutches, and hobbling
along with stiffened and painful Joints, withered
flesh, loss of sleep and appetite, are cured by the
use of B. B. B. Cast aside all other remedies, use
B. B. B. and you will soon have no use for crutches
Many who read this will refuse to be cured by the
use of B B. B-, but we advise all such togdrop us a
postal card for our Book of Wonders, free, which Is
fined with startling proof of cures made here at
home. It also contains full Information about
blood and skin diseases, which everybody should
read.
Address Blood Balm Company, Atlanta, Ga.. and
you may be made happy.
