OoxKttTiCPT Dsmooiutic Cokven tiok.—A Convention of the Democracy of Connecticut was held at Hartford on the Gth instant. One of the resolutions adopted declared, “There is no obstacle in the way of the harmonious working of our republican institutions, save the factious course of a mutilated Congress, who have inaugurated anew revolution, and are determined to rule the country in violation of the Constitution, and to I establish their wild and fanatical will as a substitute for the Union framed by the fathers of the republic.” The nominations presented were, for Governor, James E. English ; Lieuten ant Governor, Ephraim B. Ilyde, of Sta fiord. The Crkpitob’s Stratagem.— Four creditors started from Boston in the same train of cars, for the purpose of attaching the property of a certain debtor in Farmingtou, in the State of Maine. He owed each oue separately, and they each one were suspicious of the object of the other, but dared not say a word about it. So they rode, acquaintances all talking upon every thing except that they had most at heart. When they arrived at the depot at Far mington, which was three miles from where the debtor did business, they found nothing to “put ’em over the road” but a solitary cab, towards which they all rushed. Three got in and re fused admittance.to the fourth; and the cab started. The fourth ran after and got up outside with the driver. He uskod the driver if he wanted to sell his hors*. He replied that he did not want to—that he was not worth more than fifty dollars, but he would not sell him for that. He asked him if he would take one hundred dollars tor him. “Yes,” said he. The fourth man qnickly paid over the money, took the reins, and bucked the cab up to a bank, slip ped it from the harness, and tipped it up so that the door could not be opened, and jumped upon the horse's back and role of lickarty-switch, while the in siders were looking out of the window, feeling like singed cats. He rode to a lawyer’s and got a writ made and serv ed and his debt secure, and got back to. the hotel just as the “insiders” came up patting and blowing. The cabman soon bought back his horse for fifty dollars. The “sold” men offered to pay that sum if the fortunate one, who found properly sufficient to pay his own debt, would not tell of it in Boston. Ax Affecting Story. —A negro s t on the curbstone bare, brooding over his woes; sad was his heart and kinky his hair, his gizzard feet were exposed to the air, and exceedingly seedy his clothes. And as he sat in the catting blast, we had to pity the cuss; he wist fully looked at each person that passed, and we heard him soliloquize thus: “Oh ! why did Ole Abe, wid de hatchet face, go set this darkey free ? I was happy at home wid de oder nigs, wid plenty of whisky an’ feedin’ like pigs, an’ ole Di nah was happy wid me. Ole Massa was kind, an’ when I was sick he fed me an’ kep me at home ; but now 1 feel sick, l’se got nuffin to eat, an’ lias to n't here an’ f-eeze in de street. Oh! why did de buro cum? In de winter time I sat by de fire, wid de young ’uns, husk in’ corn ; but now I’se got no huskin’ to do, nil’ no good fire or house to go to, an’ my clo's is all tattered an’ torn. In de summer time, when de day,s work is done, we danced at de cabin door; for we all was gay, an’ we danced away to de good ole music Pete used to play, but I feels like dancin’ lio more. Oh! if ole massa would take me back on de ole plantation agin, I'd never leave for sich freedom as dis; but I’d work mighty hard, an’ jis’ to show dem how foolish l’se bin." When the darkey ceased, the big tears from his eyes rolled down over his cheeks very fast, and we left him there on the curbstone bare, exposed to the cutting blast. And we could but think as we passed along, oh! what has the “Bureau”done? It fed the negro all summer and spring, when he could get work at almost anything, but now lets him starve around town. —Lott- inville, (K'j.) Gonmvcial. Snout)y.—A word as to shoddy. I thought it was a term of reproach, a thing to be ashamed of, a sly (lodgment of the duffer. But Leeds is not ashamed of shoddy ; I taiks about it openly, uses it openly. What is shoddy ? I was not quite clear on this point before I went to Leeds, but I know all about it now, and will give others the benefit of my newly acquired and useful knowledge. Shoddy is old wool made as good as new. Every manufacturer keeps a devil, a ravenous beast wilh a fearful set of iron teeth, and an insatiable appe tite for old coats and old trousers, old anything that is made of wool. Toss him an old garment and he will tear it to pieces in no time. The spun and woven threads are converted into wool again, and are worked up into new threads to be woven once more into a piece of cloth. Cloth so made —with a mixture of new wool—looks very well. I defy -you to tell which is shoddy cloth and which is not. We all wear shoddy without knowing it. For light wear shoddy cloth will answer every purpose; but it will not stand strain and exertion. You must not venture to practice gym nasties in a pair of shoddy trousers. Here is the weakness of shoddy—the shortness of the staple. You know now, if you did not belore, why thw old clothes-man is eager and anxious to buy any garment, however ragged, which is composed en tirely of wool. —All Hie Year Round. —The extensive authority of parents under the Chinese laws is well known. A Chinese of forty years old, whose aged mother flogged him every day, shed tears in the company of one of his friends. “Why do you weep ?’’ “Alas 1 things are uot as they used to be. The poor woman’s arm grows feebler every day.” - —An eccentric American at Hom bourg presented Haiti with an enormous bouquet arranged in the form of a lile size statue of the priina donna, putting about the neck of the figure a valuable necklace. When Paili quitted Hom bourg she took the necklace but left the statue. —Artemus Ward is under the profes sional cure of Mrs. Dr. Mary Walker, in London. We wonder what Betsey Jane will say 7 —Somebody styles Bennett the “In dia rubber man’’ of the metropolitan press. AUGUSTA, GA.,• SUNDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 17, 1867. Snuff K Tobacco.

A ND AFTER A THOROUGH TRIAL by innumerable living witnesses, has proved itself to be THE MEDICINE OF TIIE AGE. Although there have been many medici nal preparations brought before the public since the first introduction of Perry Davis’ Vegetable Pain Killer, and large amounts expended in their introduction, the Pain Killer has continued steadily to advance in the estimation of the world as the best family medicine ever introduced. As nn internal and externul remedy, it is truly a source of Joy to the World! One positive proof of its efficacy is, that the sales have constantly increased, and upon its own merit?, as the proprietors have not resorted to advertising to gain for it the rank it now holds among the great number of preparations of the present time. The efiect of the Pain Killer upon the patient., when taken internally in cases of Colds, Coughs, Bowel Complaints, Cholera, Dys entery, and other affections of the system, has been truly wonderful, and has won* for it' a name among medicinal preparations that can never be forgotten. Ils success in removing pains, as an external remedy, in cases of Burns, Bruises, Sores, Sprains, Cuts, Stings of insects, and other causes of suffering, has secured for it such a host of testimony, as nn almost infallible remedy, that it will be handed down to posterity as one of the greatest medical discoveries of the nineteenth century. Tbe magical ef fects of the Puiu Killer, when taken or used according to directions, are certain. You have only to bo sure that you buy the genuino article andadbero to the directions in its use, and you will admit its wonderful medicinal properties. The genuine Perry Davis’ Pain Killer is now put up in panel bottles, with the words Davis’ Vegetable Pain Killer blown in the glass ; and with two steel engraved labels on each bottle—one an excellent likeness 01 Perry Davis, the. original inventor of the medicine, the other a steel engraved note of hand. None others cau bo relied upon as genuine. Prices of bottles 12J cents, 25 cents, 50 cents, and sl, respectively. Valuable Medicine —"VVo presumo no medical preparation ever offered to the pub lic has been more thoroughly touted than PERRY DAVIS' PAIN KILLER. Thou sands of persons, were they called upon to do so, would cheerfully testify that they have used it for various ills, with tbo most satisfactory success. It is within our own knowledge that an immense amount of suf fering has been relieved by it. Its pro prietors, Messrs. Perry Davis *fc Son, save no pains or exponso in order to satisfy the 1 üblic. Being strictly honorable men, they observo tbo utmost uniformity in tbo man ufacture of their celebrated Pain Killer. The materials of which it is composed are carefully selected—none but tbe host quality being used. By these means the high repu tation which the Pain Killer has long since acquired is, at all times, triumphantly sus tained. In view of these facts, wo are by no means surprised to learn that Messrs. Davis &, Son’s sales arc constantly and rapidly increasing. While we congratulate our friends generally that ?o valuable a preparation as the Pain Killer is placed within their reach, we must be permitted to rejoice at tbo well-merited success of its liberal and enterprising proprietor.—Provi dence General Advertiser. , Sold by all Medicino Dealors. de2B—2 in* NO. 41.
