A Few Plain Questions Which
Require Plain Answers.?A corres?
pondent of the Augusta Chronicle
and Sentinel propounds tho follow
ing questions to Mr. Alex H. Ste-|
phens:
Mr. Stephens, tho apologist of
Grant, will please answer tho
following questions for the en?
lightenment of his constituents;
Why did Grant detain Congress
when about to adjourn and send in
his recommendation of the passage
of the Enforcement Act?
Why did he recommend the pas?
sage of tho Civil Bights Bill, and
give the'impression that he would
veto the Bame if passed, and when
it passed sign tho said bill?
Why did he recommend the
overthrow of the Garland Govern?
ment and the substitution of the
Brooks Government at the point of
the bayonet?
Why did he sustain Sheridan
when the public denounced him?
Why did he appoint Major Mer?
rill to ride down the people of
Louisiana when he had dis?
graced the uniform of a Federal
officer in South Carolina, and had
received the pay of a rondos' go?
vernment for arresting- innocent
people and collecting vitiated evi?
dence to convict tho same?
I- want the above answered with?
out sophistry, dodging or subter?
fuge. _*
"I will meet you in?," he was
saying, as he stepped off the street
car while it was in motion, but he
never finished the sentence. If he
meant to say in the mud, he cer?
tainly kept his word, for when he
got up he was the saddest spectacle
in, all the town.
One of the speakers at a recent
temperance meeting, in Boston,
charged that lots of Boston women
chew tobacco, and said that he
could get ten men to leave off
chewing where one woman will j
give np the weed.
In one part of Norway, the long?
est day is three months, and yet
there is no daily paper in the whole
section; neither is thero a monthly
magazine; as no publisher could
afford t<> bring but three issues in
oneway.
Gen.' Albert Pike has recovered
from Mexico ?50,000 in gold for
the 'families of. Generals Parsons
and- Standioh. These Generals
were1 ex-Confederates in the service
of Mexico, and fell by the hands of
guerillas.
An actor being recently absent
from rehearsal, the stage-manager
said he must be fined. ''But before
he. is fined he must be found,"
suggested the low comedy actor of
the company.
A sharp talking lady was re?
proved by her husband, who re?
quested her to keep her tongue in
her mouth. "My dear," she said,
"it's against the law to carry con?
cealed weapons."
A good man died in Georgia,
and the order to which he belonged

The symptoms of Liver Complaint are
uneasiness and pain in the aide. Some?
times the pain is in the shoulder, and is
mistaken for rheumatism. The stomach
is affected with loss of appetite and sick?
ness, bowels in general costive, and
sometimes alternating with lax. The
head is troubled with pain, and dull,
heavy sensation, considerable loss of
memory, accompanied with painful sen?
sation of having left undone something
which ought to have been done. Often
complaining of weakness, debility and
low spirits. Sometimes many of the
above symptoms attend the disease, and
at other times, very few of them; but the
Liver is generally the organ most in?
volved.
