What I. Fame J
A six line puff in a newspaper—a ficti
tious prominence—oftentimes created by
fortuitous circumstances wholly unexpected
and wholly undeserved by the recipient.
The Weather.
No rain yet. A good sized shower would
produce glorious results, cool air and dust-
Iree streets, which would be gratefully
appreciated by everybody and evefything.
34th Day of Jnne.
This is the anniversary of the ncccssion
of Queen Victoria—the model Queen of the
world—to the throne of Great Britain, and
js observed in England and the other
British possessions as “Accession Day.”
St. John’s nay.
This day is the usually observed Masonic
Anniversary of the birthday of St. John
the Baptist, who together with St. John the
Evangelist, were two of the most ancient
patrons of Freemasonry. It is usually
observed by an address and other ob
servances peculiar to the institution.
Ilain
Is much heeded in some portions of our
State. The crops in some places have had
no rain for five or six weeks. YYc were
afraid that from the great abundance of the
rain which fell during the winter and spring
months there was great cause to fear a lack
ol it when the hot months of summer
arrived.
t lotliei>l.inc Thieves Around,
A gentleman, residing on Greeno street,
between Elbert and Lincoln, met with the
misfortune, yesterday, of having the clothes
line in his yard robbed—in the daytime at
that. [ Where was his dorg ?]
We have come to the conclusion that
there are not a few persons prowling
around town on thieving purposes intent,
and it behooves onr citizens generally to
keep a sharp look out for the miscreants.
Demurest’* Yennjj Atiicricu.
The number for July is a gem. Its pic
tures, its games, its puzzles, render it uni
versally popular among the little ones, while
its varied and instructive character equally
recommends it to the attention of parents
and teachers. The series of French lessons,
or the Music, which is a feature, arc alone
worth several times the cost of the book.

Sanitary.
We are glad to see our sleepy headed city
cotemporariea sufficiently aroused, at last,
upon the question of drainage, incited by a
fear that cholera may stride in this direction.
L is pleasant to know, however, that the
proper authorities are at work, doing all in
their power to remove deposits, etc., which
*ould have % tendency to promote disease
,l Ihis season of the year. It now remains
for our citizens to do their duty, in seeing
that their own premises are in good order;
*od for our people, individually—including
e ' tors to be prudent, abstemious in diet
“hd temperate in fluids, keep cool, pay their
ttehts, and all will be well.

The youthful Conductors on tho Augusta
Street Railway do not become wearied In
vicing with each other in the matter of
politeness. In this important respect, thoy
set an example worthy of imitation by
many older heads.
Public Hoads. "*
We learn with pleasure, nnd note tho fact,
that tho Public Roads ol Richmond county
never were before in such good condition ;
and those indefatigablo officers who have
brought this about, deserve, and should
receive, the commendation and thanks of
onr citizens generally.
The County Poor House.
We havo thought for eorno days that wc
would call attention to this admirably man
aged institution, and at a future time
design to get together some facts and
figures in regard to its presont manage
ment and public utility. In tho meantime
wo will merely say that it is in a flourishing
condition.
Hnsonic Female College.
The commencement of tho Masonic
Female College at Covington comes off to
day, and a more appropriate time could not
have been selected. Onr readers will re
member that the faro on the Georgia Rail
road has been reduced one half, to give
parties a pleasant recreative ride.
Tlirollgli I'nucugfr Arrangement.
On the first of July through passenger
trains will be run from Augusta and Savan
nah to Montgomery, via Millen, Macon, and
Columbus, This makes the Montgomery
and West Point Railroad a branch from
Opelika to West Point, and necessitates two
changes of cars by passengers from Mont
gomery going North via Atlanta—ono at
Opelika and one at West Point.
The War of the Skirls.

Fashion—the fair belligerents contending
over the very important question whether
Long Skirts or Short Skirts shall carry the

Couldn’t a compromise be effected? Lot
the Shorts prevail for street wear, and the
Trains conic in for home and evening

Importance of Newspapers.
The newspapers of a town or city are its
corner stone, its very life blood. Without
them it can not prosper. Tho belter they
are supported at home, the more powerful
their influence will be abroad. The news
papers have done more to aid the building
up of towns in which they are published,
and to rouse their business, than all the
merchants together. To the merchants
they are indispensable, as those who have
used them as a medium through which’ to
reach the public well know. And they
contribute largely to the prosperity of every
citizen, for their influence is felt in a
thousand different directions.
Insurance Companies a* Detectives
It is beyond doubt a fact that Joseph
Brown, who was hanged at Hudson, two or
three weeks ago, would have gone s :ot-frce,
and his horrible Crime escaped detection, but
for the Travellers’ Insurance Company, of
Hartford, which was interested to the amount
of a $5,000 policy. James McCormick, who
is to be executed at Fort Dodge, lowa, on
the 10th of July, not only committed mur
der, but he murdered a policy-holder of the
Travellers’, which cost the Company $5,000,
and he was brought to speedy justice. The
same Company recently brought to life a
captain of the late so-called Confederacy
after being seven months “drowned.” Eighty
thousand dollars insurance in various Life
and Accident Companies was the weight
that sunk him—which weight was Tetnovid
by the prying sharpness of the aforesaid
insurance company, which found the captain
alive and well, rusticating in Florida. And
the Railway Passengers’ Assurance Com
pany, not long ago, put an ex M. C. in* jail,
and a dishonest agent in the State prison,
for forging insurance on a dead man. So
long as such companies shall aid the cuds ol
justice, in detecting and punishing criminals,
as well as conter benefits upon their patrons,
we shall rejoice in their success.
The modern ‘Gentleman.’
John Ruskin says : “It tuny bo proved
with much certainty that God intends no
man to live in this world without working”-
but, he adds, “it seems to me no less evident
that lie intends every man to be happy in
his work.” Those are golden words: ‘‘God
intends every man to bo happy in his
work !”
Let us see how this applies to the present
state ol' society. Let us look at the ‘young
gentleman’ of the period—at the model
which multitudes of lads have before them,
and which they seek to imitate. Art has
done much for him. Rut it is artful, not
genuine art. It is the barber’s art, the
tailor’s art, the hoot-maker's art, the dancing
master’s art, the blackguard’s art, often the
art of the bawdy-house pimp 1 This young
gentleman of the period has a brain, we
suppose: but it conceives no honest work.
It has some vigor, and it is not utterly idle.
It is not aimless. It has one great, over
shadowing aim, desire, end—namely: how
to avoid work.
A more degraded being can bardly be
conceived. A more useless being can not
be imagined. A more dangerous person in
the community can scarcely ho found.
Aguinst an open, disreputable villain you
can be on your guard. Not so with the gen
tleman of the period. He appears well. He
moves gracefully. He is gcorgeously appar
elled. One of Solomon's lilies would bear
no comparison with him. And he is not
without knowledge and culture. l!ut it is
the knowledge and culture of everything
that is vde and unworthy and contemptible.

[From the Circular ol Wm. Bryce & Cos.
New York Cotton itcvleiv.
New York, June 19, 1868.
Our last Circular reviewed the market to tho
12th instant, when we quoted Uplands at 10Jd.
in Liverpool, and 29c. in this rnarkot. On Sat
urday Liverpool was quoted Id. lower, and the
market hero was much depressed and fully a
cent lowor on grades below Middling; 28c. being
t' e price at which the grade itself was offered.
On Monday the cable quoted Liverpool 10$ald.,
with sales of 19,000 halos. No particular change
was to bo noted in this market, which was rather
steadier on Middlings, but depressed in the other
grades. The sales only reached 1,300 bales. On
Tuesday the market opened decidedly better,
Liverpool having advanced id. on a more active
business. The sales here footed up 1,000 bales,
I, going to spinners. On Wednesday Liver
pool was again quoted better, Uplands JOjalld.
On this news holdors demanded fully one oent
advance, but were not sustained by buyers, the
business being done on a basis of 29Jc.; sales
3,500 bales. On Thursday Liverpool advanced
id. Uplands llid.; sales 18,000 bales. On this
our market became fairly active, and an advance
of ono cent established. To day tho markot has
been iirmor and Je. higher on the Liverpool
nows. Tho pretensions of holdors havo rather
frightenod buyers, and tho transactions are
smaller than yesterday. Liverpool closes at lljjtl.
for Uplands. Sales of to-day 20,000 hales. Man
chester activo.
Cablo advices siuco our last report an activo
market in Liverpool. Salos of tho week foot up
89,000 bales, of which 15,000 went to exporters,
11, to speculators, and 03,000 to the trade.
The stock in port foots up 615,000 bales, of
which 364,000 are American. On the water for
Ureat Britain there are 561,000 bales, 71,000
being from this country.
Our own market for tho week under review, as
it will ho noted from tho summary abovo given,
has been irregular, but closes decidedly higher
than the quotation given in our last circular,
fbe demand has been altogether from spinners
and speculators. Tho former class still operating
with the greatest caution and taking only
enough for immediate use. Tho stocks in Balti
more, Boston, Providonco and Philadelphia
having been reduced to so low a figure, buyers
irorn all these points havo been compelled to
appear on our market, and it seems likely that
the buying for the rest of the season will bo
concentrated hero. Tho offering stock on the
dull days early in tho week was very fair, but as
prices advanced offerings were withdrawn, and
at the closo tho assortment on sale is very poor.
Middlings are exceedingly scarce, and are rela
tively higher than tho grade below. Hood Ordi
naries continue abundant, whilo tho demand is
extremely limited. Sales for future delivery
were quite numerous curly in tho week on a
basis of 29c. ior Middling in Scptcmbor, and
2.3 c. fur tho balanco of the season ; delivery at
sellers’ option. At the close higher ratos are
asked, but we hear of no transactions. Vory fine
cottons are not to bo found, hut tho demand for
them is equally small, and quotations are nomi
nal in tho extreme.

substitute for mercury or calomel. They
cure with astonishing rapidity liver com
plaints, kidney diseases, irritation of the
bladder, piles, biliousness, Jaundice, dys
pepsia, costiveness, ladies’ complaints, and
all diseases indicating the necessity of a
purgative medicine.
Aged people, subject to costiveness, or
paralysis of the bowels, are quickly cured
by these pills.
A gentleman, aged eighty years, who had
not enjoyed a natural discharge from the
bowels for nearly 40 years, and was always
compelled to resort to injections, was re
lieved by one dose; and by taking four
pills each night for one month, was restored
to sound health and regularity.
These Pills purify the blood, remove all
obstructions from the bowels, liver, skin,
spleen, bladder, etc., and purge out all
corrupt and acrimonious humors. A few
days’ use of these pills will make the skin
smooth, clear, pure, and healthy. They
increase the appetite and flesh.
Dose—For regulating the liver, stomach,
bowels, and promoting digestion, one pill at
night. For obstinate diseases and chronic
complaints, 4 to 6 every 24 hours.
Price, 2o cents per box. Sold by drug

CURED WITH
PAIN KILL.EII.
O
O HAD THE FOLLOWING LETTER FROM
Xtßov. K. Telford. Missionary in Qiina, now
visiting his home in Pennsylvania:
Pa., June2s, 1860.
Messrs. Perry Davis & Son, Providence, It. 1.:
Dear Sirs—Daring a residence of some ten
years as a Missionary in Siam and China, I found
your vegetable Pain Killer a most valuable
remedy for that fearful scourge, the Cholera.
In administering the medicine, I found it most
effectual to give a teaspoonful of Pain Killer in a
gill of hot wp.ter sweetened with sugar; then,
after about fifteen minutes, begin to give a table
spoonful ot the same mixture every minute until
relief was obtained. Apply hot applications to
the extremities. Bathe the stomach with Pain
Killer, clear and rub the limbs briskly. Os those
who had the cholera, and took the medicine faith
fully iu the way stated above, eight out of ten
recovered. Yours, truly,
R Telford.
If au attack with Diarrhoea, Dysentery, or
Cramp Colic, don’t delay the use of the' Pain
Killer. Sold by all medicine dealers. Price, 25
cents, 50 cents, and? 1 per bottle.
Manhattan, Kansas, April 17, 1860.
Gentlemen— * * ' I want to say a little
more about, the Pain Killer. I consider it a very
valuable medicine, and always keep it ou baud.
I have travelled a good deal since I have been in
Kansas, and never without taking it with me,
In my practice I used it freely for tile Asiatic
Cholera, in 1849, and with better success than any
other medicine ; I also used it here for cholera in
1855, with the same good result.
Truly, yours, ' A. HUNTING, M. D.
Swato, China.
Cholcia! * * * I regret to say that the
cholera lias prevailed here of late to a fearful
extent. For the last three weeks, from ten to
fifty or sixty fatal cases each day has been re
ported. I should add that tho Pain Killer, sent
recently trom the Mission House, has been used
with considerable success during tbis epidemic.
If taken in season is generally effectual in check
ing the disease,
Rev. CHARLES HARDINIG,
Sholapore, India.
[From the Portland Monthly.l
Summer Complaint and Dysentery.
Bowel complaints seem just now to he tho
prevailing element, and any medicine that is
everywhere acceptable, aud that is reliable, is a
very desirable acquisition. From what we have
seen, heard, and experienced, we believe Davis'
Pain Killer is tiiis desideratum. For the best
method of using it, we quote from the directions:
“For common bowel complaints, give one tea
spoonful in a gill of new milk and molasses, in
equal parts, stirred well together; lessen the dose
lor children, according to the age. If the pain he
severe, bathe the bowels aud back with the medi
cine. This mode of treatment is good in cases of
the cholera morbns, sudden stoppages, etc. Re
peat the dose every hour.
“The quickest way 1 ever saw the dysentery
cured was by taking one spoonful of the Pain
Killer in one gill ot milk and molasses stirred
well together aud drank hot, at the same time
bathing the bowels freely with medicine. Let
the dose he repeated every hour until the patient
is relieved.”
If every person who has reason to fear this
disease would provide themselves with a bottle
of this medicine, and use as occasion required, we
believe a great amount of suffering and sickness
would be saved. jel2—2m
