There are fish carp in the pond
at Fontainebleau that are certainly
100, and some of them may be 150,
years old. From some cause they,
as well as young fish, are dying. ..The
London Pall Mall Gazette says: i
"Thackeray conjectured that ' those he
saw at Sans Souci were the identical fishes
that t rederick the Great used to throw
morsels of bread to and watch . fighting for
them. They, had great humps of blue-
mom on their old backs ana were ; mon
strously uelv and unwholesome looking.
The authenticity of the Fontainebleau carp
is, however, beyond conjecture, aa the
keepers of the palace have means of know

that Mr. Merrimon had apperred in

as far as we are concerned. It says:

house and two stores.-The burned out
merchants were Messrs. A. M. Burton &
Co., and Williams & Co. The tobacco
warehouse was owned by A. M. Whitsett
& Co. The loss is very heavy, and will
probably reach $18,000. The amount of
insurance is not known, but it will not be
sufficient to cover the loss, The fire is be
lieved to have been accidental. Reidsville
has a steam fire engine, and it did good
work on this occasion. ; . j'-

At Moore Superior Court last week
William Morgan and Mrs. Lovely Jane
Davis were tried. Morgan submitted.
Lovely Jane did not. want to put in an
appearance. It appears that Morgan and
Davis, the husband of . Lovely Jane, had.
agreed to swap wives, Davis . paying
Morgan $1JS0 " boot. " This arrange
ment was "acceptable ' to Lovely Jane,
but not so to the wife of Morgan, who ab
solutely refused to be swapped off. Davis
fled to parts unknown. Morgan, being in
terrogated by the court and solicitor, said
that he had been living with Lovely Jane
about fifteen years; that he was young and
ignorant at the time, being then only some
thirty-odd years of age, and did not know
h was any harm to trade his wife; that be

A Good Burglar Alarm, ::-;T:-": "
. Talking in one's sleep is an atrocious
babit, and on general principles ought to
be discouraged. Like other '.bad habits,
howeyer, it may ; sometimes stand one in
good stead is preventing something in
finitely worse happening-as; it did Mr.
John .Fafmer, a . trucker, who Uvea "on
Swann street near Fourths On Wednes
day , night s Mrs." farmer, his "wife, ; was
aroused from her .slumbers by the ? wind
blowing upon. her. The night lamp was
flaring and threatening an explosion, - and
when ; she arose - she . found - the v front
door of their dwelling wide open, the lock
having been forced; Nothing in the house
had been disturbed, however, , and Mrs.
Farmer is thoroughly convinced- that they
were saved rom being plunderedby some
midnight prowler only, through Mr. Far
mer's habit of talking in his sleep, which
frightened the burglar, off . as soon as he
had succeeded in getting the door open.
It is suggested that it. would be a capital
idea for householders especially the "un
protected female" portion, of the community
v to learn to talk in their sleep. It might
on occasion be a means of protection, and
in some instances, perhaps, relieve them
from a tendency to undue loquacity when
awake unless, indeed, they can talk night
and day without breaking down; - -
A Cure for Diphtheria. - - -
- 'E- Munch, a druggist in Leipsic, Saxony
published some time ago in the Pharmacist,
a medical paper, a remedy for diphtheria
which has bad surprising success, being
nothing more nor less that spit ita turpen
tine. Dose, one teaspoon ful in the morning
and the same at night. .
"The result -4a really '.marvellous. The
inflammation of the abnormal diphtheritic
spots in the throat grows lighter at the
edges, and in this way they gradually
shrink until in twenty-four hours they dis
appear entirely, leaving no sign.
"To quiet the inflamed tonsils the throat
was eargled at first every two hours, and
then every three hoars, -with the folio wine
gargle: One ounce chlorate potash to forty
ounces of distilled water.
"This remedy has been used with perfect
satisfaction both by adults and children.
not one case .ending fatally.- fThe Mil
waukee Volksblatt quoted 'this . remedy '
from the German paper, and afterward re
ceived a letter from a subscriber in Mitchell
county, la , saying that a child in the wri

treated by lecal-physicians and died; then
four members of the same family were sim

WHO IS MRS. WINSLOWf As this Question
is frequently asked, we will simply say that she is
a lady who for upwards of thirty years has unti
ringly aevoiea ner ame ana taients as a xemaie
Physician and nurse, principally among children.
She has especially studied the constitution and
wants of this numerous class, and, aa a result of
this effort, and practical knowledge, obtained In
a uienme spent as a nurse ana pnysicuvn, sne nas
compounded a Soothing Syrup for children teeth
ing. It operates like magic giving rest and
health, and is, moreover, sure to regulate the
bowels. In consequence of this article Mrs. Wins
low is becoming world-renowned as a benefactor
of her race; children certainly do bisx up and
bless ner; especially is this tne case in tnis city.
Vast quantities of the Soothing Syrup are datlt
sold and used here. We think Mrs. Wlnslow has
Immortalized her name by this Invaluable artl
cle, and we sincerely believe thousands of chil-
oren nave Deen saved rrom an early grave Dy its
timely ase. and that millions vet unborn will
share its benefits, and unite In calling her blessed.
Mo mothxb has discharged her duty to herjraffer
lng little one, in our opinion, until ahe has given
it the benefit of Mrs. Winalow's Soothing Syrup
