Cluverius willpossibly escape the
gallows. Three;, of the jury ' that
found him guilty of Lillian Madison's
murder have signed a petition to ihe
Governor asking him ,to- pardon the
malefactor.. There is no new . evi
dence and yet they 'practically de
clare that they were guilty of a moet
foul and cruel aot in their verdict.
Cluverius is so satisfied that he will
live that he has had his teeth opera
ted. upon by a dentist. He is a dainty
sort of a murderer after all. The
Norfolk Landmark says: 1 " ;
"We trust that we are not harsher than
our neighbors; but, be this as it may: it

The President will stick to his
Civil;; Service hobby. He said to
Senator Voorhees: : : ; ; i

The President , deceives ' himself.

never "voted in good faith" for that
sort of sham reform that consists in
carrying on a Democratic. Adminis

road from Rutherfordton to Asheville; and
upon the estimates .so made the company
wiii ; base Us conclusions.. , After Ruther

miles to construct to extend to Asheville,
and railroad men . think that there is little
doubt but that the road will be built. Bun

Asheville ::
, It is .said that the friends of the New
York; Philadelphia and Norfolk Railroad
Company are arranging for the extension
of their system from Norfolk", Va., to Jack
sonville, Fla., and the great Pennsylvania
Railroad corporation is backing them up.
-The new route, it is said, will be indepen.
dent of all other lines, and the most direct
that can be chosen. In some quarters it is.
regarded as only, a 'scheme on the part of
the Pennsylvania Railroad to bring tho At
lantic Coast Line to terms. Other persons,
however, think that the road will be built,'
running down the coast from Norfolk and
following the line on which it was intended
that the Wilmington and : Charleston Rail-,
road should be built. In this event Wil
mington would have another great through
line to the North; which could not fail to
add to its commercial Importance. ' ' ; j

" WHO IS JIBS. WIKSLOW f-Aa this question1
Is frequently asked, we will simply say that she is
a lady who ; for upwards of thirty years has unti
ringly devoted her time and talents as a female
Physician and nurse, principally among children.
She has especially studied the constitution and
wants of this numerous class, and, as a result of
this effort, and practical knowledge, obtained in
a lifetime spent as a nurse and physician, she has
compounded a Soothing Syrup for children teeth
ing. It operate like magio giving rest and
health, and is, moreover, sure to regulate the
bowels. In consequence of this article Mrs. Wina
low is becoming world-renowned as a benefactor
of her raoe; onlldren certainly do bisk ttp and;
bless her; especially is this the ease in this city.
Vast quantities of the Soothing Syrup are saxlt
sold and used here. We think Mrs. Winslow has
Immortalized her name by this invaluable arti
cle, and we sincerely believe thousands of chil
dren have been saved from an early grave by its
timely ase, and that millions -yet unborn will
share its benefits, and unite in calling her blessed.'
No Mothxb has discharged her duty to hersuff er
lng little one, in our opinion, until she has given
it the benefit of Mrs. Wlnslow's Soothing Syrup
