His estate is said to be worth at least
$5,000,000. He was possibly the
richest man in the South. He was
born in Caswell county, the 28th of
January, 1818. His father was a
country merchant and farmer. He
went to Jackson, Miss., in 1840, and
first elerked for a living. He pros
pered and married a sister of ex-Gov.

Blair, of Paternal Pedagogy fame,
is the moral crank of the Senate. He
is thus referred to by the Washing

"There has been a great deal of morality

Blair is one of the most prolific men in this
direction. He is always introducing bills
for the promotion of morality so called,
which never get any farther than the com
mittee rooms of the Senate. When he is
not busy preparing a new measure in' the
interest of woman suffrage, he is spending
his time writing legislative manifestos
against the rum or tobacco power. One of
the most original of his later conceits is to
propose that 'special instructors be em
ployed in the schools of the District ' of
Columbia, whose sole duty shall be to de
monstrate to the children in these schools
the physical injury which arises from the
use of liquor or tobacco, in any one of their
hideous forma.

Willie Griffin, a younsr man living near

The mikado" Coming.
The Newark Daily Advertiser, an ac
knowledged authority on musical matters,
in-commenting on the production of "The
Mikado" in that city, says: "A delighted
audience that filled Library Hall in every
quarter assembled last night to witness the
first, production in this city of Gilbert &
Sullivan's latest and wittiest opera, 'The
Mikado,' by the Templeton company. All
the parts were well taken, but the Ko Ko of
Wm. H. Seymour, the Pooh Bah of George
Broderick, tbe Mikado of Charles L. Harris,
and the Pitti Sing of Miss Hattie Star, de
serve special mention. They carried their
parts as well as, if not better, than any of
the artists engaged in the Gilbert-& Sulli
van company in New York, and as these
characters are the central figures of the
opera, they affected the whole programme.
The choruses were well rendered. Many
of the solos were encored, and two or three
of them were encored several times. The
costumes and scenery and the many tab
leaux were sufficiently Japanese to satisfy
any spectator." The performance will con
tinue each night during the balance of the
week, and will include a Saturday matinee.

A DOWN TOWN MERCHANT, having passed
several sleepless nijrhta, disturbed by the agonies
and cries of a suffering child, and becoming con-
vinoed that Mrs.

child. On reaching home and acquainting his
wife with what he had done, she refused to have it
administered to the ohua, as she was strongly in

baby still suffering: and '

contemplating an-
other sleepless night, the mother stepped from
the room to attend to some domestic duties
and left the father with the child.
Durinffh

senoe he administered a portion of the Soothing
Syrup to the baby, and said nothing. That night
all hands sleDt welL and the little fellow awoke in
the morning hright and happy- The mother was
delighted with the wonderful change, and al
though at first offended at the deception prac
ticed upon her, has continued to use the Syrup,
and suffering crying babies and restless nights
have disappeared. A single trial of the Syrup
never yet failed to relieve the baby, and over
come the prejudices of the mother. Sold by all
Druggists. 25 oents a bottle.
