"The people," we're told, "are mostly ignorant when it comes to medical science." Suppose they are ! What a sick man needs is not knowl-edge, but a cure, and the medi-cine that cures is the medicine for the sick. Dr. Pierce's Golden Med-ical Discovery cures the "do believes " and the " don't be-lieves." There's no hesitance about it, no "if" nor "possi-bly." It says " I can cure you, only do as I direct."

Some WorilH Iq Defense of a MaehMa-ligiie- il Type of Southerner. There was onee a (ieoria Cracker, and we are his descendants, says the Augusta (la., Chronicle. From the blended stmins of Knirliph, Sahburtrer and Scotch-Iris- h which catno to this country, and which settled ovor the Savunnuh from Yamucraw to Peters-burg there was evolved a cosmopolite who left his print upon history. Ho has carved out what Gen. Toombs used to call ' The State of (ioorgy." He grew tobacco and indigo, ho traded with the Indian for his peltry; he beat back the Spanish into Florida and kept the savage off his claim. He stoutly fought the British in the revolution, and under Troup and the treaty he op-posed old John Adams and the general government He helped to build the steamboat and invent the cotton gin; he reclaimed the swamps r.ml du gold out of the hills; ho drilled in the mili-tia and pulled the gander's neck on holidays; ho hated everything wrong and burned up the record of the Yazoo fraud; he paid his just debts and rounded the watermalon into perfection; he led the way to secession with his pike and furnished moro troops than any other state; he was the first one to revive after the war, reclaiming tho state and making the best of a bad bargain. He builds up his cities, digs out his rivers and canals, leads the union in railway constructions and spins moro cotton than any other southern com-monwealth. He is religious, patriotic, public-spirite- d, believes in prayer and keeps the powder dry in fact he is the brother-germa- n to Uncle Jonathan. Ho is called the southern Yankee; the light of tho new south, the hope of the nation is this Georgia Cracker. Judge I.ongstreet wrote humorously, but ten-derly of him in those incomparable Georgia scenes. Col. Thompson pic-tured him gallant and picturesque, in that indescribable "courtship of Major Jones." Ready for a fight or a foot-race, high toned and rcllective, full of provincialism, but never dominated by prejudice; hospitable, helpful, tender, quaint and true, the Georgia Cracker stands the peer of the Knickerbocker on the Hudson or tho Carrolls of tho Chesapeake. The Georgia Cracker was shrewd but full of principle. He could coin money out of the sunshine and tan riches from the fur of the gopher. He was not melancholy or Bourbonish but full of the now. He didn't watch his roof thatch rot like tho Arkansas settlor he went to work and repaired it. Ho was willing to work his lands with or without slaves. His first char-ter prohibited serfdom as it Vtrred out rum. He took his horn on Michaolmas with the lordly air of a Peter Stuyves-an- t, and kept the pledge all the rest of the year with' the stern stoicism of a Spartan. He worshiped Andrew Jack-son and yet believed in Troup. He sided with Joe Brown "agip the banks." Hewas-- a tleraoorat by conviction a whig only by perversion. He regard-ed Henry Clay's party as an aristocratic concern. He boycotted La Fayette for meddling with our institutions," just as he snubbed Jay Gould when he rode through tho south in his palace car. Troup was a Georgia "Cracker," so was Alex. Stephens, with his pale face and bright eye; so was Ben Hill, as he left the plow handles in Jasper county to go to the State University; so was Sam Thurmond, of Watkinsville, as he sturdily fed the forge with one hand and turned the pages of Blackstone with the other; so are we all Georgia "Crackers" the descendants of God's people the plain yeomanry of an em-pire, the thriftiest, kindliest most help-ful folks on earth. Sherman cut a swath forty miles wide and 800 miles long right in the heart and homes of the Georgia Cracker. One hundred millions of property was wiped out in eight months. Now the whole state from Dalton to Waycross blossoms like a rose. Iron and coal and granite are quarried from the base of the Kenne-sa-and the railroads which have given us Cordele and Americus and Brunswick have ligated the last wounds of war. France has not leapt into luxuriance more swiftly than South Georgia from pillage and devastation. Look what the Georgia Cracker is doing! There is one million of him. He is at work. His children are at school. He lives well, reads tho pa-pers and thinks for himself. He is building an empire. There is nothing half so sweet to him as the red old hills of Georgia. Long may he live! May his tribe increase and his shadow never grow less! Kdllilr i:rl.. Much has been written about the eurtii-e:.Lii- ',' iKot oi various conn i rirs. but it is not g iieiM.ly umm u that the inhabitants of lVnacova. a viiia.e in l'ortugul. have for cau-- a variety oi earth (Yuniii in t .o m hood. It i said tual any of ihem leaving h.nne is afflicted with u singu-lar malady with gastric symptoms un-less provided with a supply of the earth. The reason of this is probably the presence of arsenic in the eai t.i whieh is known to produce the.--e sin-gular effects upon its habitual con-sumers. The fact that Dr. Voel ha-- , found none in it by cursory examina-tion, but, on the contrary, has de-tected that it contains about double the quantity of uitrogeu found in similar 6oils from the adjacent fields, lends plausibility to the view that the active substance may be tin .alkaioid. The whole question could be easily settled by a competent chemist, and it is in bo hoped that some one will undertake its investigation. How It Was Named. The origin of the name 'America" has recently been discussed by the geographical society of Berlin. Some held that it came from a range of mountains in Central America called by the natives Aruerique, and thai Vespucci was not called Amerigo, as it is not a name in the saint calendar of Italy. They asserted that he changed his name from Alberigo to Amerigo, after Ihe latter was coming into use as a name for the western world. Signor Govi, however, has proved that Alberi-co- , in the Florentine language, is iden-tical with Amerigo, and a letter of Vespucci, dated 1500, found recently in the archives of the duke of Gonzaga, at Mantua, shows that he sometimes subscribed himself as Amerigo. More-over, the natives call the mountaine Amerisque, not Amerique, so that the question may bo considered settled in favor of the personal name. Weljfht of French Money. A Frenchman, who evidently revels in handling large sums of money, hits compiled some entertaining statistics with regard to the weight of a milliard of the French coin of tho realm. Ac cording to hint a milliard in silver weighs 10,000,000 pounds; in gold (jib. 100 pounds; in 1,000 franc cheeks, 2,500 pounds, and in 100 franc checks, 23,000 pounds. Assuming that a car-rier could carry two hundred woightk 18 men would bo required to carry a milliard in 1,000 franc checks, 115 men for the sum in 100 franc- checks, 3, L'25 men in gold and 60,000 in sil-ver. A milliard in 1,000 franc checks would make 2, 000 volumes of 500 pages each. Boston Herald. Sat on tlie'Preaclier. An inoxicated Atlanta negro went to church, and because the preacher did not happen to suit him, threw him down and sat on him. The negro was arrested and hold, not on a charge of assault, but on a charge of having brought liquor into ahouse of worship, though all the liquor about him was in his stomach. Cuts. In treating ordinary cuts, cleanli-ness and care are generally more requisite than skill. If the cut bo ex-tensive, or an artery, vein or any other important part be injured, it be-comes a more urgent matter. Acci-dental cuts from knives, cutting tools, scythes, &c., are more likely to occur on the face and limbs than on. tho body. All that is requisite in general, is to bring the parts together as ac-curately as possible and to bind them up; this is usually done by adhesive plaster, when the cut ceases to bleed.
