Ably OARiated by a full corpe of competent physicians and Burgeons, treats with unparalelled success all Chronic* Nervous, Skin and Jllood aiseasos of every nature t-he latest scientific principles. He particularly invites all whose cases have been neglected, badly treated, or pronounced incurable. Patients who are doing well under tho care of their own physicians need not call on us, as our province is to treat, those who oannot find relief otherwise. No money required of responsible parties to commence treatment.
COMMON SENSE AS APPLIED TO MEDICINE•. It is woll known by all intelligent observers that it is impossible for any person, no matter I19W highly endowed by nature or acquirements, to bocomo thoroughly conversant with all the divisions of the science of medicine. Nearly all who hare attained distinction in medi'Mno hare made some special department their life worit, being fitted thnrofor by natural adaptation or selection, special education and experience, llio doctor having dovotod several years to tho special study of chronic diseases in hospitals ana R#nernl practioo, and lmvinK the most rocent and improved instruments for finding.out diseased conditions in tho orRaiiB of the body, he proijoses to devote^the whole of^his^time to the practice ol these siwcialtiee. Ho adopt* the folli not and never has boon the practicn ixitiont, nacertains tho condition of tne internal organs, examines inw by tho most approved instruments and methods, all of which ho carefully iwcords in Ins registei for fnt.nro reioronco. In this way, he ascertains the tnie nature of the disease and its cans©. Knowing tlw disease, he knows tho changes it produces in the tissues, and, knowing the chMges, ho chocks them with specific remedies, and places his pationt on the lush road to recovery. Wlieo sick people oonsnlt him ho readily tells them whether ho can euro or help them, or tuey are beyond hopo.
SCIENTIFIC EXAMINATIONS.
Tho tSxaminRtions aro in accordance with anatomical and physical science, as he will convince th: most skeptical. By an examination ho will convinco anyone of the nature and extenof disease, amount of danger to life, and »anoe of a perfect cure. Believing that science is truth and "truth is miirlity and will prevail" wh«n known, and knowing that diwase can lie cured witii Iositivo certainty, ho invites the afllicted to call and roceivo advice free and be cured of tneir ais. eases. There is no subject that requires so much study and experience as the treatment and cure of chronic diseases. Tho astonishing success and remarkable cures performed by him is due to a thorough knowlodgo of the structure and functions of tho human system, and the cure of diseases by their natural remedies. Lot those given up by others call for examination. He has successfully treated tho following disease® since his arrival in this state: Eyo and Ear diseases, Chroni. Diarrhoea, Chronic In0ammation of the Wo pb, Chronic Inflammation of the Bladder, fainful or Irregular Uonstrnation Fever Sores and Ulcers, Incontinence of Urine, Tape Wonns.

O* .63
The other day, in au old station on the New Jersey coast, I saw a queerly shaped boat liich reminded me of something that happened to mo once.
Some years ago I took passage in a large migrant ship, the Ayrshire, for this country. I had been at the University of Edinburgh, and was impatient to reach home. There were on board over three hundred etnjrant passengers in the steerage, and sixtyseven passengers in the cabin.
One of the cabin passengers was au invalid, a very small, delicate young girl of twenty years, attended by her mother and nurse. She was not a patient sufferer. Her medicine was always too sweat or too sour her pillows were too hard or too soft, and at the sound of tho wind or a peal of thunder she would tremble and cry like a child from fear.
There were two young men in the cabin besides myself, and I am afraid that they found a good deal of amusement in provoking her terrors by telling horrible stories of corpse lights on the rigging, or of sharks and devil fish and other sea monsters, or the sailors' yarn of the great shadow of a fish which follows a ship on which is a human being appointed soon to die. She used to stand by tho hour at the stern of the ship looking down into the cool, green depths to see if the shadow pursued her.
Her nervous system was shaken by long suffering, and I sympathized with her but the other men voted her a nuisance. They were strong and full of health and fun, and thought it a hardship that the cabin should bo, so they said, turned into a hospital ward, with bottles and pillows.
Ono of them, Frank Lowe, hail served ill the French army in Algiers, out of sheer love of excitement and IUIventure the other. Bernard Knott, had been a volunteer in the United States army during the civil war. So you see that, notwithstanding their unfeeling behavior toward the invalid girl, they were not cowards.
It was one day near tho end of the voyage, and we hoped to see land on the morrow. Early in the evening Knott and Lowe and I went down into the cabin, as the fog was so heavy that in the darkness wo could scarcely see one another's faces on deck. The lamps were lighted, and we sat down at the table. I took up my book the other men began to play dominoes.
Hiss Murray, the invalid, was lying on a sofa, knitting, as usual, at some white fluffy stuff. The young men called tho poor girl Miss Muffet to each other because she was so tiny, and because she was always scared and shuddering at some fancied object of terror.
Set in the woodwork at one eud of the saloon was a long mirror, and draped about it were some faded red and gold curtains of moreen. Mrs. Murray, who was a chatty, cheerful little body, called our attention to the drops of moi-ture on the glass. "You cannot see your face in it," she said.
Tho fog must be very heavy." "Where are we?" asked Lowe. "Did the captain work up our position this evening?" "Yes," said Knott. "He figured it out by the dead reckoning, of course. But I believe he does not know any more than I do where we are."
I noticed that Knott had no jokes to make that evening, and that he was restless. Throwing down a book that he had caught up, ho paced up and down the cabin.
There was much shouting and trampling on deck, but I supposed that the crew were reefing sail in anticipation of a storm, and paid littlo attention to the commotion overhead.
Suddenly it seemed to me as if every bone in my body hail been wrenched. 1 found myself on my hands and knees, with the floor of the cabin rising like a steep wall before mo. Then I saw a queer thing. The mirror broke obliquely from corner to corner, and through the rent came a torrent of foul bilge water. People have described tho wreckage of a vessel in a storm at sea as a magnificent, terrible spectacle, but that is all that I saw at the moment of its occurrence —the mirror parting in tho middle and the bilge water pouring iuto the room.
But that was enough. I knew that the ship was doomed. The mate, Sanders, stood in tlio doorway. "What is this?" yelled Knott. "The ship has struck a bar and is going to pieces!" the mate answered. "All hands on deck!"
He spoko pretty much as he might have talked if he were giving an order to holy stone decks yet I knew that he had a wife at home, anil a child whom he had never seen, but had hoped to sev on the morrow. His coolness was habit. see.
I don't know how got on deck. We men helped the three women up, of course. That was habit, too. Good habits tell in a time like that just as nu: as they do in an evening party iu drawing room on shore.
The Ayrshire was on the great sandbar which lies off the whole New Jersey coast. Hundreds of ships used to be wrecked there. Before the life savin service was established the New Jersey shojv.. was strewn with wreckage.
The migrants wef rwarming on the decks. A fearful surf bro.ie over us continually. Tho ship was irreniovably settled in the sands, but it was rocked incessantly by the waves. Ail around us was the unpenetrable grayuess of the fog, through which came the terrific thunder of the breakers on the shore. It drowned the shrieks of the women and even tho hoarse shouts of the captain's trumpet. "Surely we are on laud," piped Mrs. Murray, close beside me. "The ship is fast." "On a bar," said the mate.
From the moment of her striking there was no chance of saving the vessel, which was rapidly going to pieces. The passengers and crew were huddled on her quarter deck. Three boats were launched, but before one of them «ould be manned they were swept away lil|« feathers in the storm.
We found aiterwc.id that we had gono opou tho bar off the villago of Point Pleas-!

rcmaiiral for tlie company to find their
way to the shore, if they could, clinging to
boat which I saw tho other day at Point Oconoe Pleasant It is shape,! like an egg, with a
hole in the top through which the passengers
crawl to enter the boat. Over this hole a lid
screws tightly. The car will hold about fifteen people. When tho passengers are packed away in it and the lid has been screwed down, it is drawn back to land through the breakers, turning over and over as it goes.
It was a fearful trip to make, but it was the one chance for life to the people on the ship.
I cannot fitly describe the awful scene on that wreck the darkness, tho wet, the thunder of the sea, the hundreds of men and women standing there facing death, aud fully realizing the perils that surrounded them.
It was the lirst time that the life car had ever been tested by actual service, and even the captain looked" doubtfully at the strange looking craft that had come out to the ship along the cable. "Who will go in it?" he shouted. "The women have the first chance. It is not a good chance, but it is the only one."
The men among the emigrants legan to push their wives and children toward the car, but tho poor creatures shrieked aud fought against entering it. I did not blame them. It is bad enough to go down, drowned iu the open waters, but to go down locked up iu that iron coffin "Very well," cried the captain. "There is no time for choice. If the women will not go, the men shall."
At that, little Miss Muffet stepped forward before them all, actually smiling. Oome," she said to the terrified women,

Mr. Findlav, owner of one of the largest yards, had his force of elephants put through their various forms of work, such as piling up tho logs aud tumbling them down, as well as drawing by chain harness and pushing with their trunks and tusks from three to fivo of these logs, end to end, taudem fashion.
These elephants aro at times very troublesome and dangerous, and great care is taken to keep strangers at a respectful distance. They are immense in size, and cost from 1,800 to 2,500 silver rupees each that is to say, from $900 to $ 1,250 each.

TUK HUNGRY GARRISON.
Old Aunt Patsy Stephens was a stirring, thorough woman, wwll fitted to be the wife of a sturdy frontiersman, and she was so energetic that she always had her own fields or "patches" of corn and wheat, which she worked with her own hands after her duties iu tho house were over. On ono occasion, when Aunt Patsy's twelve acre patch of corn was full of fine roasting ears, au alarm of Indians was raised and terror reigned in tho lotnes of the settlers. Sxm, however, a plan »f action was formed, and steps were taken to carry it out. All the women and children, with tho horses and whatever valuables could be carried, were hurried down tho banks of Little river to a place called Fort Springs. It may be, and indeed now is, known as Quaker Springs, and located on land owned by Messrs. Pope, of Wilkes. Hero the men stopped and hastily erected a fort and stockade, in wliich to leave the women and children, while the husbands and fathers retracod their steps to dispute inch by iuch tho red fiends' progress, and to drivo them back or die in defense of their homes.
The little garrison did very well for a few days, but then, to add to the horrors of thensituation, the provisions began to run low. At last they were out, and still no tidings from the brave men who had gone forth to defend them. All day and all night they strained every nerve, listening for their return. The moon shone peacefully down upon tho little

AUNT PATSY'S CHARGE.
Heading a bee hue for home, Aunt Patsy rode on, keeping a sharp lookout for lurking foes, but to her great surprise she saw no signs of Indians or of tho white men. Much mystified, she still kept on, nor once drew rein until she came near the clearing whore they had built their home. Still nearer, and she could see her own house still standing.
The Trained Klepl.iu.ts of India. A traveler writing of some trained elephants which ho saw in a seaport town on the She then dismounted, and drawing forth a
Bay of Bengal, in India, thus describes their intelligence in Golden Days: Hero you see the trained elephants at work piling up teak timber in the numerous timber yards that line tho river. Their knowledge and intelligence are simply wonderful. They are guided by a native called a mahout, who is ]eri'lu)d on the ueck, and who gives all the necessary orders, assisted by his lieol and an iron sharp pointed goad mneli like a small pickax. The elephants thoroughly understand what is required of them. Think of them piling up square timber to tho height of forty feet, every stick of which is in line and in its proper place, each piece weighing from two to three tons. They carry the timber on their tusks, holding it in place by their trunk, to the place of piling.
Knll of homespun thread she took off her cotton apron, and dividing it into four parts sho proceeded to wrap a piece around each foot of the filly, thus muffling the sound of feet on the ground. She then remounted and started for her twelve acre patch to fill her meal bag full of tho roasting ears for the starving garrison. Lulled iuto a feeling of safety by tho absence of hostile sight and sound, sho was thinking that maybe it had just been a scare, and no more, when on looking over into her field of corn she saw ten or twelve Indians slaying her fine roasting ears. Taken by surprise, but never losing her presence of mind, she uttered one shrill whoop and rode at full speed toward them, calling: "Here's t.lio redskins, boys I Here they go, boys shoot 'emI Shoot 'eml" and sho fired off her old gu-' once or twice as the Indians fled in great haste toward tho river, thinking a party of white men were close after them.
Aunt Patsy's ruse might not have worked BO woll had it been old Indians, but the braves being all away on the warpath, this party of young bucks had crossed the river Oconee and made a raid on the deserted fields of the settlers, and but for Aunt Patsy they might have burned down the last homo in the settlement, Liut receiving such a fright they hurriedly crossed tho river into their own reservation, while Aimt Patsy filled her sack and hurried back to the family garrison, who welcomed her with tears of gratitude.
Luckily, that night tho men all came back, having chased the Indians far down the river until they crossed over,when tho whites concluded they would return to the little fort on Littlo river, where they found all safe and well, thanks to Aunt Patsy and her fill
