There is a certain bracing effect in cold air which is lost when the weather grows warmer ; and when Nature is renewing her youth, her admirers feel dull, sluggish and tired. This condition is owing mainly to the impure condition of the blood and its failure to supply healthy tissue to the various organs of the body. It is remarkable how suscepti ble the system is to the help to be derived from a good medicine at this season. Possessing just those puri fying, building-up qualities which the body craves, Hood's Sarsaparilla soon overcomes that tired feeling restores the appetite, purifies the blood, and in short, imparts vigorous health.

Lee" and other-once popular airs with wheezy accompaniments. Drumming idly on the machine, a happy thought struck him. He sidled into the bar and bought a drink,with some iee water on the side and received two nickels change. j Walking back to the machine, he slipped j in one of the nickels, and the band played. I It proved a diversion. The other nickel followed its companion, and another fan tastic caprice followed. I Then he dropped his finerers on the glass; and put a piece of ice in his mouth ' ' to cot) his parched gullet. i Wonder if the blamed tiling feels as ; dry as I do," he murmured and slipped ! . a email piece of ice into the slot in a sqrt of mild and sympathetic way that only ,1 can be assumed by a maudlin. The piece of ice slowly melted, adjusted itself to the aperture and disappeared in the re- j gions below. Then came a watery gur gle, a spasmodic shiver, and the intes tines of the machine began to work. 1 he ice had melted to the weight or a nickel, and in a watery wail came back j the familiar strains of "A Life on the Ocean Wave." j That settled it. Back he went to the ' out the ice and fed it to the machine. Lottie Collins was outdone in "Ta-ra-ra Boom," minus tho kick. Next on the list was .' We Wont Go Home Till Morn ing." He bunkoed the slot for five more bacchanalian airs before his ice gave out, arid then he went back and asked the barkeeper for more k-e, got it and in vited him out to have something with him. The pair fed the machine ice for nine solid hours, until the contents of the ice trust were exhausted. The ma chine responded with its repertory until it got waterlogged and careened over to the leeward-with four feet of water in ! its hold, flying a signal of distress.

"There were never two senators who were truer or more devoted friends than Mr. Blaine and Justice Lamar," said Warren D. Hayes of Mississippi at the Southern hotel. "Opposite beget lik ings. Blaine was' the lire and spirit of northern Republicanism, and Lairiar of southern aristocratic TVmocracy. They were in the house tog t'ier -immediately after the war. and lliere sco?i sprang up between them a devotion for each other that was Listing until death. "When in the house during the most turbulent periods ' of the nation imme diately following the close of the war, the two were-. -almost inseparable" com panions. If Mr. Blaine had a measure that he desired the? support of the south ern members, it was Mr. Lamar to whom he went, and if J'r. Lamar 'desired the support of the Republicans he first en listed the strength and influence of Mr, Blaine. I have heard it from Mr. La mar's lips that Mr. Blaine was the truest sympathizer the south had dnriug her darkest period. "So strong was tho love that Lamar bore toward the man from Maine that I know he rejoiced when Blaine secured j me nomination tor tuo presidency m 1884, and I know further that Mr. La mar, as good a Democrat as he was, de clined to vote at the November election of that year. I think that secretly in his heart he . really wished, as between Cleveland and Blaine, the latter's elec tion. I hare heard it said also that when Lamar was tendered a cabinet posi tion he first sought the advice of Mr. Blaine lief ore ho accented it. Their friendship was of the character that we see but few illustrations of during these days. And it seems to me that the Di vine power especially shaped it so that both of their lives should go out within a few hours of each other.-" St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Intermittent li'inkin;, There would be little use in my de scribing what I believe to be the cause and the course pf intermittent drinking unless I set forth my experience as to the various methods in use to check or cure the disease. It may be asked, "Has not a man a will power, and can he not of his own volition abstain from what he knows to be simply self destruc tion?" My answer, unhappily, must be that a man who has once fairly fallen into the drink habit, whether constant or intermittent, has scarcely any will power while the fit is on him, and, as I have said, each fit leaves his will feebler and less able to withstand the tempta tion of a sedative of which he has proved the power, and of which he is too' prone to forget the danger. The intermittent drinker as soon as he has abstained for a few weeks forgets the disastrous effects of his last attack. He believes himself as temperate and discreet a men as any of his friends who takes his pmt bottle of claret at dinner and seldom takes more. Ho does not see why he should not do likewise. It is the hardest thing to 'convince an intermit tent drunkard, who is able to abstain for a period, that he can never 'by any chance become a moderate drinker. Nevertheless the principle of his drink ing is distinct from that of 11 moderate man. If he tries to return to Ms two or three glasses of claret, ho is absolutely certain to go on to his secret "nip" of brandy or of whisky, and his "nips" will increase, and he will find himself back again in the old road to ruin. The patient, if ho really, wants to be cured, must clearly make up his mind that it must be total abstinence or self destruction gradual,, perhaps, but not -the less sure. Na tional Review.

The institution of African slavery is so intimately ; connected with , the history of Georgia and has been so clearly interwoven with her civilization that a brief account of its origin and growth and sudden abolition should be recorded. Not for crimination "or exculpation but that the. truth of his tory may be, vindicated. Facts cold facts are history, and they nev er blush to be narrated. Until 1 843. 'Only fifty years ago, African ; bondage prevailed not only in ' -many --of the less civilized coun tries of Europe and South America, but in England, the foremost and most enlightened government in the world. Early in ., . this century -t the slave trade became odious to all phil anthropists, but slavery itself was not. The brutality j with which the trade was conducted and ' the: "horrors of the middle passage,". as it was calUd. had awakened the pity of mankind, and by common consent the traffic in Africans and their transportation by other countries was prohibited under the severest penalties, both in Europe and the United States. But, still the institution of slavery continued where it had been planted. It ' not only continued, but was en couraged as a moral agency of civil - iz ition until Wilberforce began the agitation of its abolishment in Eng land and her colonies in 1825. But the plant of this ereat reform was of slow growth, and emancipation was not accomplished until long after Wilberforce had died. In 18.13, the slaves of England and all her colo nies were emancipated, and their own ers were paid $300,000,000 for them out of the national treasury. The sentiment' of the" people ot the United States against slavery was more pronounced than it was in Eng land, and the states began early to provide for immediate or gradual emancipation, Georgia was the first state to prohibit the slave trade with Africa, and she kept that T prohibition inviolate while some of the northern states carried it on long after their own slaves were emancipated There was to them no profit in slavery, but there was fabulons gains in the traffic. Hence, the v gradually disposed of their own by sending them south, and insome instances tne young.-01 tneir slaves were given away.,, (Appleton's Cyclopedia is authority for this.) i But the feeling, in the 5 states were generally averse to slavery and that feeling was for a time stronger at the south than at the north.. -The ordi nance pi 1787 that 1 excluded the in stitution from the northwestern terrii tories was supported by southern men.. ' . . "T: Pennsylvania provided for gradual emancipation, and a late as1 1840 her slaves were not,,all free,' "and in some cases were sold for- debt. '(See Ap pleton.) Rhode Island and Connec ticut had a fewileft in- iSior New York emancipated in 1827.- r 1 That thef ,southern states rdid. not emancipat&was bwinar:to.a variety of circumstances. The climates wasy suited' -fo the ne gro and he seemed to be.contented and happy. the masters had invested' more of thcir'money in them than - had been done further north. The invention of the cotton gin had "suddenly simulated the cultivation of cotton, for which the V negro was pe culiarly fitted, and the growth ot rice tobacco and sugar, cane, was equally inviting to W'l.ll)Qr; -.'' . ;'-.- nut more than, all these reasons was the fear that the - slaves were in such fast increasing ; numbers asr,.to put the commonwealth in peril if they were freed.' They:, w-ere tlll affected with the same lace tratjs they Jjad in herited from barbarian ancestors, and could not be controlled as freedmen or as citizens.;,1 I X! ; Still there was an intelligent and influential number of our people, who favored gradual emancipation. - This - . . : ' - Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S, Gov't Report sentiment' was slowly but surely spreading. Joseph Henry Lumpkin, the chief justice of our supreme court, was outspoken as a co-worker with the gradual emancipation policy inau gurated and advocated by Henry , Clay f -Kentucky, adopted by Geor gia, but for the intolerance and bitter ness with which the New England abolitionists waged their unceasing war upon the south. Our people re sented their threatened domination and. said. "If you let us alone we may do it, but you cannot drive us. We are penned up with these negroes and know where our safety lies." William Loyd Garrison, of Boston, founded the anti-slavery party in 1 841. Arthur Tappan became its fourth president in 1833. They ex pended much money m magnifying and exaggerating the abuses of sla very. They declared that all laws of the government that recognized the slavery were utterly null and void. As their party grew stronger they be came more agressive, and in 1844 the free soil party openly avowed that their object was to affect a dissolution of union and to form a northern re public. They said that a union with slavery in it was a league with hell and a covenant with death, They were thev first secessionists and re mained so until the; late civil war; The troops they furnished and the money they so freely contributed were not for the maihtainance of the union, but to conquer the south and iberatethe slaves When Nathaniel Hawthorne was asked in 1 861 if he was not in tavor ot the war be re plied "Yes, I suppose so, but really I don t see what we have . to fight about". It seemed to him that the south had done just what New Eng- and desired her to do that is to se cede. This desperate haste and intensi fied hostility on the part of New Eng land towards the south is diffiult 'to explain. It was only a few years since tey had, emancipated the slaves they had not sold. It was less than twenty years since England had emancipated hers, and neither Geor gia nor her states were ready for the change. ' Was it an earnest sympathy for the slaves or political hatred of their masters, or was it both ? for as judge Tourgee says in his "Fool's Errand." The south had controlled the gov ernment for fifty years, and New England was jealous jealous to exas per; ton, and slavery was but tie shiboleth that intensified their animos ity. They made no war upon the slave trade, but rather wink el as it m and enjoyed its rich returns. I his is not an assertion but a tact 11 their own historians are to be believed. In 1820 Justice Story, the great jurist, charged the grand juries of his New j England circuit in the following words : "We have but too many undeni able proofs from unquestionable sources that the African slave trade is still carried on among us with all the implacable ferocity and insatiable ra pacity of former times. Avarice has grown more subtle x in its evasions of the law. It watches and Iseizes its prey with an appetite quickened rath er than suppressed. American citi zens are steeped up their very mouths in this iniquity." W. W. Story, the gifted son, in writing the biography of the father, says : "The fortunes of many men of prominence were secretly invested in this infamous traffic. Slavery it self had hardly disappeared in New j England when . the traffic took on new lite and was winked at. A man might still have position in society and claim consideration as a gentle man, nay,, as a Christian, while his ships were freighted with human car goes and his commerce was in the in the blood and pain of his fellow crea tures. This practice was abstractly inveighed against, but was secretly in dulged in. The chances of great for tunes inflamed the cupidity of men in my fathers . circuit. It is notorious that many large fortunes were the blood money of the slave trade, and owed their existence to the wretched cargoes, that survived the horrors of the middle passage. But this charge of my fether to the grand juries of Massachusetts and Island seemed on ly to arose the passions ot those en gagedTn the traffic. The newspapers of the day publicly denounced my father and one paper v in Boston de clared that any judge who would de liver such a charge ought to be hurled from the bench." And so the traffic went on unmoles ted. The New York Evening Post stated, that no less than eighty-five vessels left the port of New York in 1859 and i860, built maned and equippefd in New England for the African; slave trade, and that they brought away not less than thirty thousand slaves to Brazil and the south. But still there were no prose cutions. The navies of the world seemed to be asleep or perhaps the traffic was still winked at by the mer chant, ships that traversed the seas. Whether it has ceased since southern slavery was abolished is not known but ; a telegram to the Associated Press tells of a cargo that was recent n 1 ly wrecked off Madagascar coast. This much has been recorded to show to the youths of this generation that; neither Georgia nor the south was responsible for slavery nor the traffic in them across the seas, for from 1776 down to the present, there was but a single attempt made by a south ern man to introduce African slaves into a , southern port, and that at tempt was a failure. The little yacht called ' the "Wanderer," was seized and condemned and her officers pur sued with unrelenting vigor by a southern 1 man, General Henry R. Jackson who was then assistant at torney general of the United States. But, after all, slavery was really the provoking cause of the late un happy war between the states. Geor gia seceded from the union not be cause she desired to perpetuate sla very but rather because she could not maintain her rights under the coiisti tutknui She, desired an outlet in the territories, an outlet for the negro lor their rapid increase was alarming 2ne j believed that it was perilous to emancipate and still more perilous to await results. Her white population who were hot slave own ers were rapidly - emigrating to the west. JThe most thoughtful minds in Georgia and especially those advanced in years, saw and felt the peril of their situation secession meant war and to remain in the union was to be im prisoned by the state lines with an in ferior race that might become a ter ror. A few slaves had been manu mitted aod sent to Siberia, but the re sult was bad, very bad. Major Waters, a wealthy planter of Gwinnett county, had by will manu mitted Uhirty seven skives and his executor "delivered them in Savannah to the colonization society. They were well provided with clothing and each with $100 in gold and sent to Seberia; free" of charge. Thirty of them died within twelve months the remaining seven escaped from their exile and found passage in a merchant vessel to Philadelphia. From there they made their return to Georgia through, the friendly aid of Howell Cobb and Alex H. Stephens, who furnished them with the means of coming home. The case is fully re ported in'one of the earlier volumes of our supreme court reports, for the will of Major Waters was attacked by his heirs, - Bit the common people : of the south, the yepmary, the toilers, were no lovers bt ; the negro. They real ized tha he was in their way. The masters owned the best of the land and hada' the best stock and the best houses and tools' and vehicles, while the toilers bad to take what they could . get no wonder they were jealousof the institution. . And yet these men poor and strug gling" fora livelihood in'the; moun tains of north Georgia or down in the piney. woods, did hot : hesitate to shoulder! . their rifles and hurry to their country's call. "My country right 6 'j wrong" was their motto. Only otje seventh of the taxpayers of the state jwere owners of slaves in i860 and not piore than one soldier in ten was interested in slaveiy. In fact, some counties in north Georgia sent more soUliers to the field than there were slaves in the county. Surely these men were not fighting for slavery or its perpetuation. . They fought as' their forefathers did who resisted a little tax on tea when not one in a thousand drank it. The common idea was that "them fellers up north had been kickin at us a long time and if old Joe-Brown ' and Bob Toombs and Howell Cobb said it was time to cut loose from 'em and fight tfiem itwas- all right and they were ready." But anti slavery was not a predomi nant sentiment up north outside of New England. V The cry of the west and of most of the north was "the union it must be preserved." Gen eral Grant, whom the north idolized and honored, was himself a slave owner and lived oft of their hire in St. Louis until freedom came. Some of Mrs, ! Lincoln's kindred in Ken tucky were slave owners "and her brother served as a staff officer in the confederate army Mr. Lincoln him self declared that he only signed the emancipation proclamation as a war measure to,suppress the rebellion as it was called and to save the union. He repeatedly refused to take such a step though . urged by the members of, his cabinet , to do so. General Fremont.'in August, 1 861, issued a military order that emancipated the slaves of? repels in ' Missouri. Mr. Lincoln promptly revoked this order. In May, i862 General Hunter issued a similar order declaring all slaves in Georgia, South Carolina and Florida forever free. So scfon as Mr. Lincoln heard of it he issued a proclamation declaring it void and in his letter to Horace Greely in August 1862, he said : "My paramount object is to save the union and not either to save or destroy slavery. If I could save the union without freeing any slave I would do it ; if I could do it by free ing all the slaves I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would do that.

I Ie seemed to have no deed concern about his freedom or a continuation of his bon dage. Thousands of them followed their young masters in the war many" of them were captured, but would not stay. "Gwine back to Dixie" was their song. Never was such mutual affection shown between mas ter and servant ; never such proof that in the main the master was kind and the servant loyal.
