"Last March I had as a patient
a young lady sixteen years of

of dysentery. Everything I
prescribed for her proved inef
fectual and she was growing
worse every hour. Her parents
were sure she would die. She
had become so weak that she
could not turn over in bed.
What to do at this critical mo

thought colic,
cholera and diarrhoea remedy

it. The most wonderful result
was effected. Within eight

Irish Potatoes.
The papers have a lot to say
about the scarcity and high
price of Irish potatoes this year.
The drought in the Middle
West and West *has cut the
crop shorthand the almost in
credible statement is made that
potatoes which generally sell in
the larger cities for about $1.50
a barrel are now worth $4 and
$5 a barrel. We of the country
can scarcely conceive to what
an extent Irish potatoes figure
as an article of diet in the
cities. In the hotels and cafes
they are far more popular than
bread, the place of which they
take, and a meal without them
is not thought of. It is so
with the people in all the walks
of life. They are as staple as
any other product of the soil—
wheat, corn, cotton or tobacco ;
they always command a good
price, with comparatively little
work in planting or cultivating
they grow well in North Caro
lina, producing enormously to
the acre ; the digging of them j
does not cost like harvestings
and threshing wheat, pulling
corn, picking cotton or cutting
and curing tobacco; the pro
ceeds from the sale of the prod
uct of an acre in potatoes far
out-run those from an acre in
any other of the crops named.
It has been often wondered why
th£ North Carolina farmers do
not raise them more extensively
for market. We are not advis
ing them on the subject for
they are supposed to know their
own business, and certainly
they are already too much ad
vised by people who know
much less than they do. The
reason is perhaps the difficulty
in saving the crop after it i&
dug. Of course there is so'me
good reason and there may be
several, and The Observer sug
gests that some intelligent far
mer or trucker write an inter
estipg newspaper article on the
subject.—Charlotte Observer.

Are you beginning to tremble
for the safety of your Bible? Do
you fear that the "critics" are
about to utterly destroy it?
Have you concluded that these
scholarly destructionists are
multiplying so that their name
is legion?
Fear not.
The destructive critics are
few, but noisy. They remind
us of a story we heard a while
ago. A man came to a hotel
keeper and asked if he would
buy two car loads of frog legs.
"Two car loads !" exclaimed
the astonished landlord. Why
I could not use them in twenty
years."
"Well, will you buy half a
car load?"
"No."
"Twenty or thirty dozen?"
"No."
1 'Two dozen?"
"Yes."
A few days later the man re
! turoeil with three pairs of legs.
"I« that all?" said the land
lords
"Yes; the fact is that I live
> near a pond, and the frogs made
so much noise that I thought
there must be millions of them ;
but I dragged the pond with a
seine, drained it and raked it,
and there were only three frogs
in. the whole pond."

The Local Newspaper,
Senator Davis, of Illinois,
is quoted as saying: "Each
year every local newspaper
gives from $5OO $5,000 in free
lines for thejbenefit of the com
munity in which it is printed.
No other agency can or will do
this. The editor in proportion
to his means does more for the
town than any other man, and
in all fairness he ought to be
supported, not because you like
or admire his writings, but be
cause a local newspaper is the
best advertisement a community
can have. It may not be crowd
ed with great thoughts, but fi
nancially it is more of benefit
than teacher or preacher."—

The Moon.—Moris. Lunae,-or
Mount of thejMoou.—This plan
et exercises an influence over
the children of men which va
ries with her monthly age, in
like manner as thiil of the sun
is varied according to his prog
ress through the iigns of the
zodiac. His term is complete
in even days, and recurs twelve
times annually. The probable
fate of each individual through
his life is to be gathered from
the aspect of the day on which
he was born, and the issue of
any particular event or under
taking from the day of its oc
currence or transaction or com
mencement; counting in both
cases from the new moon—as is
shown in the following caleudar.
She has power over dreams and
visions, and exercises it more
particularly on certain days.
* A cuild born within twenty
four hours after the new moon,
will be fortunate, and live to a
good old age. Whatever is
dreamt on that day will be
pleasing to the dreamer.
The second day is very lucky
for discovering things lost, or
hidden treasure ; the child born
on this day will thrive.
The child born on the third
day will be fortunate through
persons in power, and whatever
is dreamed will prove true.
The fourth day is evil; per
sons falling sick on this day
rarely recover.
The fifth day is iavorable to
begin a good work, and dreams
will be tolerably successful;
the child born on this day will
be vain and deceitful.
The child born on the sixth
day will not live long, and his
dreams will not . immediately
come to pass.
On the seventh day do not
tell your dreams, for much de
pends on concealing them ; if
sickness befalls you on this day,
you will soon recover ; the child
born on this day will live long,
but have many troubles.
On the eighth day whatever
is dreamed will come to pass ;
whatever business a person un
dertakes on this day will pros
per.
The ninth day differs very
little from the former; the
child born on this day will ar
rive at great riches and honor.
The tenth day is likely to be
fatal to those who fall sick;
but the child born on this day
will live long and be a great
traveller.
The child that it born on the
eleventh day will be much de
voted to religion, and of an
engaging form and manners.
On the twelfth day dreams
are rather fortunate, and the
child born then shall live long.
On the thirteenth day the
dreams will prove true in a very
short time.
If you ask a favor of any one
on the fourteenth day, it will
be granted.
The sickness that befalls a
person on the loth day is like
ly to prove fatal*.
The child that is born the six
teenth day will be of very un
grateful manners, and unfortu
nate; it is nevertheless a good
day for buying and selling mer
chandise.
The child born on the seven
teenth day will be very foolish ;
it is a very unfortunate day to
transact business, or contract
marriage.
The child born on the eigh
teenth day will be valiant, but
suffer considerable hardships ; if
a female, she will be chaste and
industrious, and live respected
to a great age.
The nineteenth day is dan
gerous ; the child born during it
will be very ill disposed and
malicious.
On the twentieth day the
dreams are true, but the child
then born will be dishonest.
The child born on the twenty
first day will grow up healthy
and strong, but selfishly inclin
ed, and low habits.
The child born on the twen
ty-second day will be fortunate ;
he or she will be of cheerful
countenance, religious, and
much beloved.
The child that is born on the
twenty-third day will be of an
ungovernable temper, will for
sake his friends and wander
about in a foreign country, un
happy through life.
The child born on. the twen
ty-fourth day will achieve many
heroic actions and be much ad
mired for his extraordinary abil
ities.
The child born on the twenty
fifth day will be very wicked;
he will meet with many dangers
and will probabjy come to au
ill end.
On the twenty-sixth - day the
dreams are certain* the child
then born will be rich and great
ly esteemed.
The twenty-seventh day is
very favorable for dreams, and
the child tlipn born will be of a
sweet, amiable disposition.
The child born on th? twen
ty-eighth day will l>e the de
light of his parents, but will not
live to a great age.
Children born on the twenty
ninth day will experience many
hardships, though in the end
they may turn out happily. It
is good to marry on this day,
and business begun on this day
will be prosperous.
And, finally, the child that is
born on the thirtieth day will
l>e fortunate, and happy, well
skilled in arts and sciences.-

"Ex-Governor Bob Taylor, in
speaking about the dog law in
Tennessee, says that he is in
favor of every man who wants
them to have two dogs, a hound
pup, a billy goat, and a pet
coon free from taxation; that
children and dogs are about the
only things a poor man can
have in this world, and tlieie
ought to be no interference with
his enjoyment of them."

is something of a sly, as well as a

State may show it.—Raleigh

Domestic Service in Georgia-.
Negro service becomes each
year more unreliable. The
tendency to restlessness demor
alizes to the extent that you do
not know whether your cook of
this week will serve your din
ner or your next door neighbor's
next week ; or, as Uncle Remus
puts it, you "dunner w'at rain
it gwine ter be de nex.' " It
has come almost to that. A
well-to-do and prominent citi
zen was the other day tryingjo
procure table board for his fam
ily of six. Driven to despeia
tion by an incompetent negro 1
cook, he sought where he might'
take his meals in another more
favored household. Indeed, the
number of families in this city
who, forced to forego the inde
pendence commonly credited to
one's own "vine and fig tree,"
betake themselves and even
their domestics three times
daily to family hotels or board
ing houses, or who have their
meals, cold and unapp-tizing,
served to them from tin s • places
is surprising.
But despite his general "no
countness" we have so long
been dependent on his services
that the ousting of the colored
ipcumbent from certain places
must be gradual, and it is here
that the difficulty lies. No
Southern born girls,
poor or lowly, will readily ac
cept places but recently vacated
by negVoes. It is a pride whic!
is not unworthy, jet there re
mains to be shown them a pride
more worthy—the pride which
comes of wholesome usefulness
and the growth which such life
and contact with larger condi
tions must give rise to.—Atlan

Fat and Lean fears.
A time of long-continued
prosperity is in itself an admo
nition of caution. Reaction fol
lows action, and progress comes
in waves Amid our long-con
tinued prosperity comes the un
precedented drought in the half
dozen great States that produce
the most corn. It is even yet
too soon to say what the future
may be, hut there seems to be
little likelihood of relief- suffi
ciently great to modify the ray
ages that have been made.
With this comes ah unrest in
the labor world that may be
passing or may continue long.
With these thing? there is, of
course, the usual cumulative
growth of various enterprises
that tempt the incautious inves
tor. So a time of general pros
perity is a time of temptation to
people with a small surplus,
who are unaccustomed to it,
for, with the best intentions,
namely, to employ ( their talent
iustead of wrapping it in a nap
kin,.but with it lack of wisdom
and lack of experience, they
lend ready ears to schemes that
sound well, but which have in
them as time may show little
substance. The only thing that
can be done to Itelp people of
this kind is to offer general ad
vice. The agisted investor is
usually of little account. Every
one that gets on must employ
the foresight ami wisdom that
are necessary for the accumu
lation of but fore
sight and wisdom are things
that cannot be supplied from
without 'except by the process
of experience, so there is a con
stantly recurrent crop of those
whose zea! is not according to
wisdom that come to grief. We
have only to recall in our own
community the many'"get-rich
quick" concerns that flourished
no long time ngo. to illustrate
how easy i; is to induce the in
vestment >f hard-earned sav
ings. As a rule, the more pros
perous the times the more num
erous are the invitations of all
kinds to tempt those little ac
customed to this kind of invest
ment. On the other hand, there
has been a time perhaps in
which the increase in legitimate
schemes has been greater. On
all sides there have come into
recent existence concerns whose
purpose and personnel are such
as to invite confidence. A wise
word 011 all things of this kind
is to do nothing without advice.
The people themselves do more
than the crops to bring about
financial disaster. The drought
is working wide-spread misplHef
to corn, and pxp* rjejice jia?
shown that it takes two or tjirpe
years of crop failures to bring
about general depression.""" We
have had years of plenty and
may help to ward off the leafti
years by a sane, con-ervative
course.—lndian iuo I s News.
