We have beloro called attention
to a great calamity threatening the
people of the South. There is
ground for this fear. In no eeo

need lor Liver Medicines than in

unscrupulous persona to take ad
vantage of people's misery and offer
tbea all aorts of stuff as a cnre-all

Sreater because they must have
accomplices tc help them in thitj

are so d to the druggists at a low
Price. And the big profit to the
druggist is the road bj which they
reach the public. Druggists of high

bellishes those that it cannot cast

should have many children. lie
should raise them well, so that
they may be useful ; and he should
love them, so that they mav be

lovelier with all his soul, and to

An interesting historical paper
has recently been published, giv
ing an account of the death of
George Washington. The account
was written by Washington's pri
vate secretary, Tobias Lear, who
was with him during his last
hours.
Washington took cold from ex
posure while riding about his plan
tation, and woke up at three o'
clock in the morning with a chill,
high fever, and every s3Tmptom of
pneumonia. He would not per
mit his wife to summon help until
the fires wrere lighted in the house,
lest she should take cold, and
therefore remained without any
attention for several hours. The
overseer then summoned, who
"took a half-pint of blood from
from."
Mixtures of molasses, vinegar
and butter were given, but to no
effect. Gargles of sage-tea and
bandages of flannel about his
throat proved equally useless. A
physician arrived, bled him again,
and ordered the same gargle,which
"produced great distress and suffo"
cation."
Another physician arrived, and
bled him again, administering
drugs wrhich also seemed still more
to weaken the patient. Finding
that the General was rapidly sink
ing, and feeling that the country
would hold them responsible for
the care of his life, the alarmed
physicians consulted anxiously,and
as a last resort bled him once
more !
Washington, feeling himself to
be dying, sent for his will, gave
directions concerning his papers
military records and the disposal
of his body, and theu prepared
himself for death with the'calm
ness ot a stoic.
"The physicians were absorbed
in grief." They had done all
which the science of their day had
taught them to do.
The poorest patient in an alms
house now can command the skill
and knowledge which then, in all
human probability, wrould have
saved the foremost man of his day
a little longer for his country and
the world an advance in medical
treatment for which the present
generation should be thankful.

We were taught long ago that
many of the evils of life, a re whol
ly imaginary. Experience demon
strates the truth of this more and
more clearly. In nothing is this
more clearly manifested than in
the rage just now about the ''new
woman". There 13 really no new
woman. It is the same old woman
that has been with us ever since
Adam and Eve made love to each
other in Eden. As it was m the
beginning, woman is subiect to in
firmities, and is liable to lead oil
in innovations which are not cal
culated to promote the best inter
ests of either woman or man, but
perhaps not more so that her help
er. Just now there are some new
phases of lite which have brought
to the test the modesty and good
sense of woman, but like all new
fads they will have their day, and
only the foolish and superficial
will be carried away. Woman,es-
pecially in the South, is not going
to embrace the ultra notions which
unfit her for her high and holy
mission. Woman is enthroned in
the home, ana the chief charm of
her character is that, while de
pendent, she is still supreme. In
the last issue of the Texas Chris
tian Advocate, Mrs. Lucy Kidd
Key, addtesses sound words to the
young womanhood of Texas. She
says: "What about the "new
woman" you ask ? Will she come
into our midst be one of our num
ber? No, surely not. But of this
I will say more hereafter, I will
say now : Progress is our watch
word. Forward is our battle-cry;
but nor in the direction the new
woman is going. Forward in the
line of our sex ! Forward for cul

and grace; for a lofty and ideal

that at the battle of Buena Vista,

the mortifying and demoralizing
spectacle of benoldiug a regiment

mand, "Steady, Mississippians !

Having served notice on our
readers several weeks ago that tho
bicycle bloomer war had just be
gun, cannot fail to enjoy the vin
dication which subsequent events
have given to that prediction.
It must have become evident
long ago to the most careless ob
server that the bicycle bloomer de
fies all ordinary methods of attack.
Sw?et are the uses of adversity to
it. It flourishes under the frown
of popular condemnation; it glo
ries in tribulation ; it redoubles its
fnskness under fire.
The bicycle bloomer is fearfully
and wonderfully made and tho
woman who is partly shielded in it
seems to fear no foe.
The legends of Amazonians hero
ism rurnish no illustration of fern,
inine fearlessness comparable with
those which the inhabitants of this
remarkable garment flare in our
faces.
Xow just see what a bicycle
bloomer woman has done in Ar
kansas. Mrs. Martha Xoe was arrested
on the classic streets of Little Rock
because she seemed to the authori
ti2s of the old fashioned borough
to be cavoting in male attire. She
had on the latest style of bloomers,
and the police took her. She was
summoned to appear before tho
recorder and a great crowd assem
bled to hear the trial of this cele
brated case. Expectation was on
tip toe, but the waiting multitude
was doomed to a sad disappoint
ment. Just at the hour when the
case was to be called, the recorder
received the following note:
"Dkar Sik: I am busy making
a new pair of bloomers to appear
in court in. Please continue the
case until the bloomers are proper
ly fitted. M. N."
Xow, what can you do with a
woman like that ?
At last accounts the Little Kock
recorder was scratching his head
wondering how he should proceed.
The case appears to be hopeless.
