Remember we are on College street. 0 A Georgia Cake Walk. "Cake walk to night. Admission 25. cents." This announcement, writes a Darion (Ga.) correspondent to tho Atlanta Constitution, led me to witness a display of Ethiopian graco tho other night, tho occasion being a cako walk.

On entering the sonorous voice of the presiding judge could bo heard requesting the band consisting of a melodcon, a banjo, and a drum to play a quadrille, and tho youthful part of the dusky assembly proceeded to d.vtcc. After about ten minutes the yue donned a gigantic pair of.spo.ctacli's, nnd pulling an equally formidable' watch from his vest pocket he announced tfrnt tho time for the cake walk hail arrived. Tho list of contestants was scanned and tho names of tho first pair wcro called. Mr. Josh Green and Miss Jemima Johnston were first on tho list Josh pulled his red handkerchief out so as to make it more prom inont, adjusted his collar, ana walking proudly across tho fluor ho bowed politely to an intensely obscure maiden of about 275 pounds.

She gracefully accepted tho proffered arm, and when the dulcet strains ot the melodcon again becamo audiblo Josh and Jemima, arm in arm, started out on the scrupulously straight chalk lino. The pair, however, proceeded on their course clumsily. The judge looked displeased, and it was genurally concluded that tho cako was 6afo. Cirsar Smith and Laura McCal. lnra came next.

Ciesar boro his head liko a conqueror as ho led demure little Laura to the starting point, lint the nroud bearing of C'fesar did not avail him. Ho started off on tho wrong foot Tho wholo audionco noticed it, and whilo the judgo frowned all knew that this meant no cako for Oesar. Then camp Jim lilack and Lorina Gray, and six die scveji other couples, who all did comparatively well. A pause now ensued. The judge looked significantly around tho room whilo, Joiidly calling tho name of Joseph Marshall PurcclL A vetoran cako walker of sevejoty fivo summers appeared.

On being asked If ho was ready Joseph replied "I is," and proceeded with a cavaliorish air to select a partner. Tho hojcs of tho preceding contestants seemed to fade away like flowers in the autumn. On all sides the rako was conceded to Joseph. The judge, however, announced a tie between three, and Jim Wheolright, ono til tho winners, was appointed tho cake. It sucmed to puzzlo Jim how to divide a round cuke in three, but he, after a little consideration, cut the cako into two equal halves.

Ono of tho halves ho subjected to a similar division, and started for tho door with the lion's share ono of the original halves. Jim was brought back by force and tho judgo npixmlcd tOs Tho "judge said tho only way out of tho dilliculty was to cut Jim Wheehight's part in two also, and rolling one of these part in a piece of paper ho pocketed it nnd left nmul tumultuous! applause.

Deab Sib The bottle of Balsam you gave me curod my nose sure enough. It originated from a rusty nail wound about five years ago. Three doctors have tried it by the insurance and failed have used all sorts of remedies with similar results. I can willingly recommend your Balsam in such cases. Thanks.

Very respectfully, F. G. HUDDLEBTON. Bois D'Anc, Jan. 1 188G.

Mr. llaeberle Deab Sir: My little daughter has been nearly blind for more than two years with sore eyes, and as she obtained no benefit after, trying the best eye physioans of Ash Grove, Bois D'Aro, and Spriogfield, at onee resorted to your compound balsam, soon after commencing with this medicine she began to improve and by the time one bottle. was' 'used she had entirely recovered. I also deem it my duty and only an act of justice to yourself that I should make the. following statement Coming as it does from one who for many years had no faith in patent medicines and who persistently refused to use them for any purpose whatever, though the balsam has worked like a charm.

I strongly commend it as a valuablo medicine. Chables Wiiitghbad. Subscribed and sworn to before me this January 12, J. Fbazihb. J.
