Thunder on Sunday is considered
by the weather-wise the sign of the
death of a great man; on Monday, the
f death of a woman; on Tuesday, if in
early summer, it foretells the abun
dance of grain; on Wednesday, war-
abunda.ce of sheep and corn the
farmer may reckon upon; on Friday,
some gret man will be murdered; on
Saturday, a general pestilence and
great mortality.
; Friday's weather shows what may
be expected on the following Sunday;
that is, if it rains on Friday uoon,
then it will rain on Sunday, but if
, Friday be clear, then Sunday will be

A CHARHED LIFE.
In a railroad accident the other day a
man sustained ten complete fractures of
the bones of the limbs, ;ree fractures of
the pelvis, and a score of bruises, gashes
and sprains, and yet he is recovering. Men

The starting point of

stomach, which, ;when
deranged, makes bad
blood - because diges
tion is not perfect, and
in bad blood the mi

spots the germs begirr
their deadly : work of

covery stops the encroachments of con-'

fortifies the whole system by aiding the
stomach in its many functions. It assists
in the proper assimilation of food. This

A Wise Suggestion.
"The young man had married the
rich man's daughter, and wasn't
killing himsels with work to support
her.
One day the father called him up
to call him down. . x
"Look here," he said emphatically
Why don't you go to work?" "..-
"I don't have to," the son-in-law
replied with brazen effrontery.
"Well, you will have to." .
"Why will I?"
"Because, sir, I can't live always
to support you."
"rsut you win leave us some
thing?"
Not much, I won't. There won't
be any thing to leave."
The son in-law was alarmed,
"Great Jupiter," he exclaimed,
"you don't mean to tell me you have
sothing."
'That's about the size of it."
"I have a suggestion to offer," he
said in a businesslike manner.
"What is it."
"Well, I suggest that you take out
say, $100,000 life insurance on your
self to saye wear and tear on my
mind.

Gebbktillb. S. O., Sept. 18.
Gen. M. C, Butler has written a let
ter on the face question, in whieh he
takes the position that the eovern
ment should provide a home in Cen
tral or South America for the negro
race. The letter1 is addressed; to a'
NeWj- ITorker who recently asked
Butler some questions as to the race.
Speaking of the proposed emigration
Geberal Butler says:
"IV.my mind it behooTes. the gov
ernment to carryout'the proposition;
of President Lincoln and f, provide i a
home in Central or South America
or elsewhere where the negro may
be induced tojeniite .fand set 'up
for him. TIt would be : infinitely bet
