An excellent cough canday is made of slippery elm, flaxseed and sugar Soak a gill of whole flaxseed iu half a pint of boiling water. In an other dish put a cup of broken tits of slippery elm, and cover this also with boilitrz water. Let these stand for two hours. Then strain them both through a musiin cloth iuto a feuccpan containing a pound and a half of granulated sugar. Extract all the liquor you can, stir the sugar until it is melted and then boil it uutil it turns to candy. Pour it out at once when it reaches this point on to greased papers. This is an old-fashioned rule. The caudy is more palatable if the juice of two lemons is added to it after it has cooked for ten minutes. - We hive a speedy and po-itivo cure for taiaiiu, diphtheria, enk-r mouth and h adtel,., in .-illLOH'o CA TARRH REM EDV A nasal irjector free wi h taJi Dome.

Apart from the counter containing the figure; 20 on the face and the portrait of Gar- ia field, there is a little of the srray of the! photographs about it. The s-al is small and scallopped, having a redish tin je, apparently applied with a brush. The numbering is v,ry pronounced aud heavier than the genuine The service of the note is one-half iueh shorter and one-eighth of an inch narrower than the genuine. It has the two parallel silk thre-Hs running through it. The tint on the back of the note is light brown, while in the eiuin - notes it is orange. The counterfeit is determined by the character of its tints rather than by the lines in the engraving, as it is a photograph of genuine work. An Attempt to Collect a For- PRITVRK AND S'TOP A IvAlLllOAD Train. When the Wilmington & Wel don Railroad Company determined to ex tend the Scotland Neck branch road to Groeuville it agreed to forfeit certain amounts aggregating about l,.1l.H) if the road was not completed to Greenville by a certain date. The road wis completed by the date agreed upon and the con- struetiou train had passed over it. Some of the parties suneudered all claim upon the company for th- forfeit. Others did not and claimed that they were entitled to the money and brought suit to recover but the courts decided against them. Sometime afterward some ofthesa claims were purchased by other parties and, as it turns out, judgment for the amounts nearly nine hundred dollars was obtained in a magistrate's court. The summons was served on an agent of the company who says now he thought it was a hoax and took no notice cf it. Execution was issued last week and the sheriff, refusing to levy on property of th j road, deter mined to attach the passenger train and was at the station at Greenville Wednes day night of last week for the purpose. When the train arrived the sheriff told the conductor, Capt. Hawks, that he in tended to attach the two passenger cars, but Capt. Hawks by the advice of coun sel jumped on his train and pulled the boll cord. The train moved away from the station at a rapid speed, leaving the discomfited sheriff holding nothing but biswiit. He then determined to attach the freight next morning, but that train went by the station at the rate of thirty miles an hour without stojpin The bberiff then decided to arrest Capt. Hawks for contempt of court, but while all these m itt' rs were taking place an iujunctioo r" raining the execution of th.) judgment was obtained by the company t 'in Judge Couner, and conductors and trains n-w pass Greeuvwe with impunity, i t.e case will finally bo determined in the Superior court.
