Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred -when b.ut few of them existed, yet examination after denth has showa the Liver to have been extensively deranged. It should be used by all persons, old and young, whenever any of the above . symptoms appear. Persons Traveling or Living in Un healthy Localities, by taking a dose occasion ally to keep the Liver in healthy action, will avoid all Malaria, XMl'ous attacks, Dizziness, Nau sea, Drowsiness, Depression of Spirits etc. It will invigorate like a glass of wine, but IS no in toxicating beverage. If You have eaten anything hard ot digestion, or feel heavy after meals, or sleep less at night, take a dose and you will be relieved. Time and Doctors' Bills will be saved by always keeping tire Regulator ' in the House! For, whatever the ailment may be, a thoroughly safe purgative, alterative and tonic can never te out of place. The remedy is harmless and does not interfere witlrlmsinps-s pr pleasure. IT IS PURELY VEGETABLE. And lias all the power and efficacy of Calomel of Quinine, without any of the injurious after effects. A Governor's Testimony. Simmons Liver Regulator has been in use in my family for some time, and I am satisfied it ir valuable addition to the medical science. J. Gill Shorter, Governor of Ala, Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, of Ga., says : Have derived some benefit from the use of Simmons J-iyer Regulator, and wish to give it it further trial, "The only Tiring that never fails ft Believe." I have used manv remedies for Dys pepsia, Liver Affection and Debility,- but never have feund anything to benefit me to the extent Simmons Liver Regulator has. I sent from Min nesota to Georgia for it, and would send further for such a medicine, and would advise all who are sim ilarly affected to give it a trial as it seems the only thing that never fails to relieve. P. M. Janset, Minneapolis, Minn. Dr. T. W. Mason says: From actual ex perience in the use of Simmons Liver Regulator in my practice I have been and am satisfied to use and prescribe it as a purgative medicine.

CONCERNING CARP CULTURE. Written for The Topic by Dr. K. L. Beall. In these days of telegraphs and telephones, railroads and elechic lights and all the wonders of the nineteenth v Century civilization we are apt to look with contempt on the "heathen Chine" and other old time civilization. But if we were not too conceited we might yet learn many useful things from them. In the economic arts in many things the Chinese are our equals if not our superiors. In fish culture, until quite recently, they were along way ahead of fls. Hundreds of years before America was fer dreamed of they knew aif? about $Uh pontW and'' the best methods of raisiug fish and especially Carp. The Romans also knew a good deal about fish culture. In that remarkable book In Both Worlds pur porting to be written by Lazarus, he speaks of being at the feast of a rich Roman who took offense at one of his blaves and ordered him to be cut up and thrown into his pond as food for hi fish. But the slave was saved by the interference of Lazarus. Although this story is aprochryphal there is no doubt the Romans cul tivated fish extensively. In the middle ages the Germans cultivated fish. The Monasteries often had large carp ponds belonging to them, embracing thousands of acres some times, and bringing great revenue to the monks. So we see that though we may be far ahead of the old world in the splendid achievements of modern science we have been a long ways behind in fish culture. The first carp brought to America were said to have been imported from Holland by Capt. Henry Robin1 son for his pond at Newbury on the Hudson in 1830. For fifty years nothing more seems to have been thought of Carp till the United States Fish Commission imported a few in 187 6, established ponds in 1877 and began to distri bute young Carp in 1879 In 1881 the young carp in- the government ponds at Washington aggregated 1 60,000. Of this number 3, 104 were sent to 162 applicants in North Car. olina, leaving 91 un supplied, the total being 253. Since then the Carp culture has greatly increased. Our fish Commis sioner S. G. Worth, reported last spring 1,500 ponds iu North Caroli na. Our legislators never did a better thing for the prosperity of the State than when they established the Board of Agriculture and the Fish Commission whose able and faitLful membtrs have suven an impulse to a prosperity which is felt in every quarter. Gov. J.irvis and Prof. W. C, Kerr, deserve the special thinks of the State for having done so much to bring North Carolina into notice and to put our people in the line of progress. The Governor has ever been quick to see and encourage eery measure that tends to enh;nc ) public prosperity. Our d'fct nguished State Geologist (Dr. Kerr) not only in his special department has dne more than any one mn to bring to notice the vast resources of our State in the exhibitions at Vienna and Atlanta and the Museum at Rd eigh, but by suggesting aiid pointing out in the Agricultural Bulletin vari ous avenues of wenlth for our people in fish culture and silk culture and new things iu Agriculture. And to him, I believe, belongs the credit of first suggesting the introduction of German Carp into North Carolina. In - my next I will speak of the construction of fish ponds. The Father cfthe ftecatc. FhiladclpLia Pres. Senator Ant lion) 'e desire to die in harness at Washington has led him to undtrtake a journey which pru dence probably would have forbade. His rally from bis recent serious ill ness was Lail-.d with deep gratifies tion by all who had any knowledge of the genial, kindly charade of the venerable father of the Senate. His second prostration on Tuesday last in New York city is exceedingly deplorable. His days are numbered and his long asd his honorable public career is near iis end. He undertook the journey to Washington against ihe wishes of his friends, but it is barely possible he may survive to reach that city and perhaps take his seat as a member of the Forty Eighth Con gresa and a Senate entering for the the secoud time iu the history of the Seuate, on his fifth term. THE C.C. A. K. K. COXJTECTIOXB. From the Caarlotte Obseroei we clip the following extract from the report of the Board of Directors of the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroad company in relation to the financial condition of some of their leased lines: "The operation of the leased lines, although not altogether satisfactory, is not without encouragement. The A. T, & O. R. R. has paid its rental, C. & C. R R., and the C. & L. N. G. R. R-. have fallen bhort. The latter roads have been made still less pro ductive by the ruling of the Railroad Commissioneis, which has placed them in the category of the trunk lines, and allows these sparcely sup plied local carriers to charge no more for their labor per ton per mile than is charged by the South Carolina Railway, although the latter carries atiout forty times or four thousand per cent, the freight carrfod by the former. If, however, these roads can be relieved from this arbitrary pressure and we are left free to de-. velop the trade in their territorj the probability is that in time they will become selfsustaioing and a value to the main line. The Cheraw & Chester has been made a continu ous and convenient line by the con struction of a bridge across the Catawba, thus giving to Lancaster a good outlet to the market. This bridge has been in use for several month, while a portion of it is still temporary structure, permanent work is being pushed forward, and unless arrested by high water, will be completed during the present month. The Chester & Lenoir N. G. R. B has been extended to Hickory, on the Western N. C. R. R. The bridge across the Catawba, beyond Hickory, is being built, and the rail is being laid as fast as the cross ties are delivered by the contractors,, thus extending the line from Chester to Lenoir, which when completed, will be a hundred and ten miles in length through a rich, but com paratively undeveloped country." A Goverunieut Photograph Shop Which Is Patronized by the Cabinet. Washington Special. Immediately in the rear of TreaB ury Department is a roomy wooden cottage, the purpose of which is often inquired about. It is a photo graphic establishment run at public expense. Nominally it is an estab lishment where the photographs are taken of counterfeits or other engrav. ing deemed important to be pre served. There is a considerable corps of operative, or artists, in the estab lishment, whose number would be less but for the demand for photo graphs by officials at the cost of the government- Among the most con stant patrons is Secretory Folger who has a passion for that sort of thing. After Arthur, who has no peer, the Judge is the handsomest man in the administration, not ex cepting Chandler himself; conse quently the demand for his picture, in all sizes and attitudes, is great. A frequent sitter, he distributes freely his pictures among his friends, with his autograph, besides laying away a good supply for future use. There is being prepared at this government shop a special collection of photographs for the Judge, full face, half face, sitting, standing, and in almost every position except standing on his head. Formerly there was a command for Chandler's picture, but of late it has fallen off. While for nobleness of features Fol ger is much admired, for real beauty Chandler bears off the palm. Doctor Yorlte, Perhap. Statesvill Anierlean, We have a man in mr mind's eye whose name we should only have to call to rally around him a following which would amount to enthusiasm. This man we wish to see G yern or of North Carolina. And if the Re publicans will endorse him and give him a support which they neglected to give Dockery, he can be elected. A Paragrapher Tumbles to Taffy. Raleigh ITews and Obscrrer. 4 The bright electric lights of the new world" U what Mm. Cornwallis West calls the American paragraph ere. Mrs. A est is the sweetest wo man in Christendom i A BOV6H CWBM.WAS. Gabe Bouck, of Wisconsin, who served two terms of Congress, and noted as a hater of women formerly, is thud described by a correspondent of an exchange: "Bouck underwent a queer trans formation when he came to Washing ton to serve in Congress. He had never worn a white shirt or a waist coat before coming here. His shirt was a black flannel, with a heavy gold chain twisted down its front. His coat was a blue frock adorned with huge brass buttons. His face was heavy and swarthy, and over a low forehead hung a shock of un combed coarse, black hair. This eccentric lawyer a man of ability, a sworn bachelor, and howling hater of women came to the Ebbitt house, and was seated at the table where sat Congressman McKinley and his wife. Her bright, sunny, lady like ways subdued at once the man who had never mentioned for fifty years a woman's name without an oath. Gradually Bouck became transform ed. He bought a white shirt and a waistcoat. He had his hair cut and combed. Finally he added the crowning stroke by having his boots blacked. He was while here the chivalrous and devoted slave of the charming Mrs. McKinley, who used to be called by her lady friends the bear tamer.' " DEATH OF A YIUOIXIA AUTHOR. Bev. Dr. Lafferty in Rlehmad ChrMian Advoflst. Lst week a man of genius in ths calling of letters died in thw oily. Dr. George W. Bagbj has left with bit generation the proofs of that subtle and magnetic gift. It Is a dangerous j dowry. At the chief centres f the electric al liaes is found a dismal room from which the wires radiate. The spark a thousand mites away and the view, less influence along the highways are the brilliant offspring of corroding and bitter genesis in this gloomy In terlor apartment. There is a sense of loss whenever virtue goes out to heal and help. Genius, like the pelican, nourishes her children on her own blood. Bagby was a sad man. And yet who has matched. him as a humorist of exquisite fiavoi? This is no con traduction. The wrinkles along the face in laughter are ouly the smooth ed furrows of sorrow. Humr is the rainbow of tears. The choicest vineyard is en the tide of a volcano. The ashes from inner woes enrich the purple clusters. The "Old Virginia Gentleman," with hi9 foaming Falernian of fua, had a cer tain sub aj'a1 of pathos that moisten ed aid moderated the broad ureases of oif-rriineut. His heart broke when the old manners were changed and the old times were gone. There is always hazird to a Dyna mo from recoil of the electric current oa the machine. So the back flow of Promethean fire wrecks genius. His mind was a beautiful instru me t- -a slight single blade of razor edge and fineness. It was QPele3d in litis practical ae. It bad no gimlet, saw, or screw driver attachment. The combination pocket tool shop is the thing. Somehow we had rather have written "How Rtibenstein Played" thaj to be the sole ewner of a patent, popular and reuaoeralire manure fork. A wasting malady brought him to bis end. He died in Christian hope. Virginia has no sob with like gifts and worthy to lift the lid of his ink horn. Tako Her, Kj Hay miadnlyfcta Can. I am sorry for you, sir, ant y daughter has been brought up to a life or luxury, and I an never allow her to become your wife." "But you forget. I am a prosper ous broker." ' Yea, I know ; but the markets arc very uncertain, and yau may be a a poor man lo morrow." 'Bat I own a rolling mill, too So 1 understand, but the iroi business is subject to a great Quo tation." "And I have three woollen facto ries, am a member of a jobbing firm, and own a large amount of real estate." "All of them uncertain properties. Even re d estate is being rained by high taxis. Have you nothing else?" "Ys, I own a newspaper." "OU, I beg your pardon. Take her my dear boy. She is yours." KAII.BOAB COM5IISSISS. , The Charleston News and Courier, ofTaesday, contains an interview with Mr. W. r. Cljde, of New York, the bead of the great Clyde Syndicate, abeat tt.e effect of Railroad Coram s 8iono. Speaking of the South Ciro- liaa and Georgia railroad law he sall: It comes to my personal kaowl edge that these laws are not only crippling in a most diastreu9 mat' er the railroads already in operaticn, but check indeGnitely all future invest ments in that direction. I think this as uufoitunate for the people of those States as for the owners of ibe rail roads. A very strong feeling had set in with moneyed men here to make investments In tat South,, and this kind legislation lias thrown a damper on them that will, if cantinuad, direct this capital to other localities. "The three very worthy gentlcmo a w he are 'commissi ners in South Caro liua are wholly unaccustomed to tke intricacies and coniplex liws which govern railroad transportation in this country. They are bound a to carry at the laws conscientiously, if they can. but I venture the asfertiou thut it is not tn t e power of tLe huaiau brain lo frame any law that will antic ipate and prmide for the thousand one changes constantly taking place in the exigences f Railroad traffic, especially of freight t re flic ; aod it seemed lo me to bs very short sighted policy to endeuvor to hamper the railroads in their etforts to devel op the country and aid in its prosper ity. '"Several railroads are now ia prooess af ooastruetioa ia North Car olina and Virginia, while I do uot knew of a mile of railraaa being bnllt in South Carolina or Georgia by oatside capital. This will give you some idea of the effect of the South Carolina and Georgia railroad laws. Nor is the effect of such legislation confined to the railroad investments. It unfortunately keeps away those enterprises which, following the rail road derslopment of tlie Wes al though it possesses none of the adyau tages of soil and cliuvtta enjoyed by the South, have filled State after State with population, manufactures and prosperous towns." A teller Written tii mood. The Paris correspondent of the London Times forwards a letter, which was written in blood by a Nihilist confined in the Troublelskm Bastion at St. Petersburg. It descri bed the harrowing treatment received by the prisoners and said their food is ollcii mouldy and sometimes putrid, lhat fccurvy and dysentery ate preva lent, and that doctors are afraid to touch the putien.s. Few medicines are prescribed, and when ordered they are generally countermanded. The prisoners rot away and exhale the odors of dead bodies before life is extinct. The number who go mad in consequence of their sulFerings is dab ly increasing, Madmen are strapped down and whipped with the knout by the keepers. Fierce yells resound through the night. Many prisoners have c rn united suicide. It is said that one woman was outraged and ihan poisoned, but, no inquiries into the a If Air were insti luted by the au thorities. Rats are the worst enemies of the prisoners. A woman with a babe was obliged lo be constantly on the watch and to fight night and day to prevent the rata from devouring her child. The use of combs und soap in forbidden, aud the prisoners, especially the women, whese hair is allowed o grow, are literally devour ed by lice. Tim jailors are only kind those having money. Prisoners who refuse to reply to questions are tortured and eases of violation of wo men are frequent. The writer eepec tally appeals to the civilized world ia behalf of the women, whose situation, he says, is far worse than that of the men. WHAT 1H TO BE lb Lartrt Tanner j- In iha World, at Johnson City. Thus.. Johnton City Enterprise. The large steam tannery is now under headway, using only about fif ty or seventy 6ve hides per day so we are informed by Mr. E. Haupt, who eas full control of the inside work, being chief boss and having large experience in the business. He coulJ not tell us the exact capacity of the tannery at this early day, as every thing is not yet completed, though they will very likely use two hundred or more hidas per day .when under full bead way.
