MILLIONS Rear Testimony to their
Wonderful Curative Effect*.
They are not a vile Fancy Drink, made ot Poor
Rum, Whiskey, Proof Spirits and Refuse Li-
q u ors doctQMd, spiced ami sweetened to please Lite taste,
culled “TomS, 1 ' “Appetizers, 11 4 ‘Restorers,” &e., that
lead the tippler onto drunkenness andrnin, but are a true
Medicine,made from the Native Roots and Herbs of Cali
fornia, free from all Alcoholic iSt i in ii hints.
They are the GREAT BLOOD PURIFIER and
A LIFE GIVING PRINCIPLE, a perfect Reno
vator and Invigorator of the System, carrying off all
poisonous matter and restoring the blood to a healthy con
dition. No person can take these Bitters according to
directions and remain long unwell,provided their bones
are not destroyed by mineral poison or other means,
and the vital organs wasted beyond the point of repair.
They are a Gentle Purgative a§ well a* a
Touic, possessing, also, the peculiar merit of acting as
a powerful agent in relieving Congestion oi Inflammation
of the Liver, and all the Visceral Organs.
FOR FEMALE COMPLAINTS, in young or
old, married or single, at the dawn of womanhood or at
the turn of life, these Tonic Bitters have no equal.
For Iuflaniiuatory and Chronic Rlieuma-
tieiti and Gout, Dyspopaia or Indie cation. Bil
ious, Remittent anti Intermittent ;Fevers,
Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and
Bladder, these Bitters have been most successful.
#uch Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood,
which is generally produced by derangement of the Di
gestive Organ*.
DYSPEPSIA OR INDIGESTION, Headache,
Pain in the Shoulders.Ooufrbs, Tightness of the Chest ;
Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste
in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks. Palpitation of the Heart,
Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the regions of the
Kidneys, and a hundred other painful symptoms, are the
ofliiprrags of Dyspepsia.
They invigorate the Stomach and stimulate the torpid
Liver and Bowels, which render them of unequalled effi
cacy in cleansing the blood of all impurities, and impart
ing new life and vigor to the whole system.
FOR SKIN DISEASES, Eruptions. Tetter, Sal-
Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Car
buncles, King-Worms, Scald Head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas,
Itch.Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, H imors and Dis.
eases of the Skin, of whatever name or nature, are literally
dug up and carried out of the system in a short time by
the use ol these Bitters. One bottle in such cases will
convince the most incredulous of their curative effects.
Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you find its im
purities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Erup
tions or Sores; cleanse it when you find it obstructed and
sluggish in the veins; -cleanse it when it is foul, and
your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood pure,
and the health of the system will follow.
Pin, Tape, and oilier Worm*, lnrking in the
system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed
and removed. Says a distinguished physiologist, there
is scarcely an indhidual upon the faco of the earth
whose body is exempt from tt^ presence of worms. It
is not upon the healthy PUnumb or nouy tnax
worms exist, but upon the diseased humors and slimy
deposits that breed these living im^nsters of disease. No
System of Medicine, no vermifuges, no anthelmintics,
will free the system from worms like these Bitters.

It is impossible, says the Balti
more Gazette, to dwell with too
much earnestness upon the impor
tance of ihorougli and complete un*
ion in the Democratic ranks. There
i never was a time in the history of
|our party when more self-abnega
tion was demanded—when a great
er amount of personal sacrifice was
needed to secure the defeat of our
reckless and unscrupulous Pppo
neuts. That the political situation
is full of peril no one can doubt;
that serious appretiensions for the
future are entertained by some of
our best and wisest statesmen, is a
lact that calls for the most prudent
action, not only on the part of the
leaders, but also among the entire
rank and file of the party. That
die large majority of the Democra
cy will unhesitatingly obey the de
cision of the Demticratic National
Convention, whatever its voice may
be, is unquestionably true, but the-e
are some who, at this time, openly
announce their intentions not to be
bound by its action, unless the de
cree registered by that body shall
be in strict accordance with their
own views and opinion. This is as
unwise as it is impolite. Men who
permit themselves lo be thus madly
carried away by the passions and
prejudices of the hour, may find,
when it is loo late, that they have
unwittingly aided in the perpetua
tion of the worst Administration that
ever cursed any country. It should,
therefore, be the daily duty of ev
ery Democrat to urge upon bis
brethren the vast importance of un
ion, harmony and conciliation, in
the utmost degree, and to counsel
everyone within his reach to look
with entire confidence to the Demo
cratic National Convention as the
only recognized representative of
the paTty whose behests should be
heard and obeyed. The only hope
of the Radicals is in the dissensions
of the Democracy. By a division
of our ranks they expect to con
quer. They will use every effort to
foment discord in our midst, and
when they accomplish their work,
they wilt “laugh ut our colamtiy anti
mock when our fear comes. In
two weeks more the National Con
vention will assemble in Baltimore.
It promises to be the largest and
most intelligent meeting of freemen
that ever assembled in the Union.
Thousand from all quarters of the
Republic will gather here to join in
this grand demonstration against the
corrupt faction now in power. In
fact, as well as in name, let it be
the oracle of the great Democratic
parly. By that sign we will con>
quer; but in no other way can we
hope for success. The prize is with
in our grasp, ll we fjil lo secure
it, it will only be because we neg
lected to profit by the leaching of
aii time that in uni.»n is strength,
and that without it, the best and
holiest cause may be lost.
Miss Kellie Grant and Queen Victoria.
The San Francisco “Chronicle”
lias received through private sources
a letter written by Miss Nellie Crant
lo Queen Victoria, previous to her
recent visit to Windsor Palace. Its
charming simplicity and thorough
good sense—if it be authentic—
put beyond question all doubts as
io the nature of the visit and the
feeling which prompted it. It reads
as follows :
Langley’s Hotel, May, 1872.
My Dear Lady and Queen—1 am
embarrassed at the honor of an of
ficial request, given through a high
officer, (your Lord Chamberlain, ]
think,) to be presented to your Ma
jesty. I should dearly love to see
you, that I might tell rr.y mother
and father that I had been thus hon
ored. I arn but a simple American
girl; that I am the President’sdaugh-
ler gives me no claim to your re
cognition as a sovereign. If, with
ihe kind lady who is acting as my
chaperon, I might visit you, I should
he very glad. Our Secretary of
Legation hints at some political sig
nificance in this opportunity. I can
not so interpret it, and would not
like to be so received, because it
would not be right, as 1 am nothing
in American politics, and I am sure
that my father would not desire me
to appear any other than as my
simple and very humble self. If,
with this explanation, your Majesty
will allow me lo visit you, I shall
be greatly honored and be very
proud.
I have written this note of my
own notion, and because l thiuk it
the right thing to do. I am your
obedient servant and admirer,
NELLIE GRANT.
The reply is equally refreshing,
and betrays a spirit which does
more honor to the British Queen
than multitudes of other actions for
which her subjects have loudly ap
plauded her :
Windsor Casltb-
Miss Nellie Crant—I have instruc
ted Lady ' to convey to you
this note, and we shall receive you
as the daughter of your honored
parents without the intervention of
high officers of the State. I shall
accept your visit as an “American
girl, - ” and there shall be no other
significance in the fact than your
kindly expressed desire to see the
|ady and not the sovereign. I shall
.find it pleasant to forget that 1 am
Queen in receiving you to-morrow
afternoon at our palace of Windsor.
VICTORIA.
Trot than Out.—We want to see
who they are, how much they bag
ged, and who helped them.
Is It So ?—The Atlanta Whig is
informed by a member of the Com
mittee of Investigation, that “the
great bulk of the money of which
the Stale of Georgia was defrauded
in 1S70 and the two years previous
has been traced to Democratic
hands.” Is ibis so J It is hard to
believe, hut there has long been
much whispering on the suhjcci,
and we hope that, if true, these
Democratic “hands” will be held
up to public reprobation. The peo
ple demand that the Investigating
Committees expose all, without dis
tinction, who have plundered the
Slate. If men calling themselves
Democrats have united with the
vile faction of negroes and carpet
baggers lo rob the public treasury,
let their names be known and their
guilt be punished, whatever may
0e their standing in the community.
Georgia wishes lo put the brand of
Cain on every robber, and make an
example of him that will deter evil
doers for all time to come.
Georgia Bonds.—The following
notice from ex Goveror C. J. Jen
kins, will show what is being done
with our State bonds:
The Stale of Georgia, through
her duly authorized agent, the un
dersigned, with profound regret an
nounces lo the holders of her bonds
maiming during the current year,
her piescut inability to pay them in
legal currency. The causes which
have led to this result are too noto
rious io need recapitulation in..o.
Acknowledging*^ sacred ness of
these obligations, and avowing her
fixed purpose to redeem them at the
earliest possible day, she NOW ten
ders lo the holders this alternative.
First—She offers them bonds bear
ing seven per cent, interest, author
ized by the present Legislature and
ready f<51" delivery, in equal ex
change for matured six per cent,
bonds.
Secondly—To those who may de
cline this exchange, she pledges her
self to pay, at her agency in New
York, or at her Treasury, semi-an
nually, the contract interest as here
tofore, on presentation of the bonds,
to be stamped with the payment,
until the bonds can all be paid in
full. The interest due on them at
maturity, as w’ell as all coupons,
(♦'ailing due on and after the 1st
July p oximo,) of bonds issued by
said State prior lo2st January, 1868,
will be paid by the National Bank
of Commerce, the financial agent of
the said Stale in the City of New
York.
That bank is also prepared lo
make the exchange of seven per
cent, for six per cent, bonds as
above proposed.
* C. J. JENKINS,
Agent for the State of Georgia.
The Atlania correspondent of the
Savannah News, in a late letter sum
ming up the act ion of the State Con
vention, refers as follow* to the en
dorsement of Gov. Smith by that
body :
Tlie endorsement of Gov. Smith
was hearty and unanimous, and was
well deserved. And yet the “ring”
men are doing all they can to un
dermine his administration. Afresh
report is started against him every
two or three weeks. The last one
is that he interfered to prevent the
passage of a bill to relieve a certain
well-known citizen of his political
disabilities. Having heard of this
report, I called the attention of the
Governor to it, this morning, and he
pronounced the whole thing an un
mitigated falsehood. So tar from
doing anything of the sort, he said
he had done all he could to have the
disabilities of all our people remov
ed*
A New and Valuable Metal.—
The Hartford Couranl says: Among
the objects of art in the exhibition at
the Hartford Art Association there
will be a lion and a tiger by the fa
mous animal sculptor of Paris, M.
Barye, cut in American sterling
metal at Naubuc. Few of our citi
zens are aware that so near this city
there is being manufactured one of
the most valuable and wonderful of
metals—a metal harder than cast-
steel, that is not affected by air or
earth, and that can he cast with
perfect ease into any form. Prepa
rations are being made lo use it tor
works oi sculpture.

Business Capacity
A Story oj Jackson Diggings.
One sunny forenoon when the
town ‘roosters’ with the usual sprink
ling of ‘pilgrim-,’ had ‘corraleil’
| iheir finy drink for (lie day at Un-
tele Di4P ‘shebang,’ and repairing
! to their usual stations, we noticed
» new character among them. He
was a short, sharp looking man of
middle age, with ‘pepper and sail’
sprinkled hair and beard, and clad
in the dirtiest of miners shirts and
buck-kins. He soon pnl on the
airs of a ‘traveled man’ among Lis
green-burn listeners, and it was ev
ident that They had struck true mine
at least that just sui;ed them.
‘Where ate you from?’ asked one.
‘JustdeWn from the mines, ‘Fard’
— Jackson diggins.’
‘WIipu did you come in?’
‘Right now — Ijust artiv’—I slept
down here by the river last night,
Under the cotton woods.’
‘You must be dry then—let’s take
suthin.’
‘Thank ee, neighbor, don’t care if
I do take a nip, tho'bgh I seldom
drink—my bed-room was mighty
chilly this mornin’.
And they proceeded to pay their
respects to Uncle Dick. Returning,
wiping their lips with respective
butternut, and buck-kin sleeves,
and resuming their perches, the con
versation proceeded:
‘Well, how’s times up there, any
way?’
‘Oh, they're just bully, old fel.’
‘Then what made you cornea-
way?’
‘That’s ori acount of my health,
you see, and for a change of cli
mate.’
‘Just so, but it seems to me I’d a
staid there if time was so good.’
‘Well, now stranger, seeiu’s its
you, 1 don’t care it l tell you all
about it but you bet your sweet life,
Jackson digging is a mighty lively
place. You see Pin an old Califor
nian, and, and I ain’t much on the
work. I soured on that long ’go.
But I’ve got a wonderful capacity
for business. You see, 1 struck
ihla Prp Mmn near about a month
ago, when it was mighty urn oi pil
grims. It I'd had a little money, 1
could have made my pile, hut 1
hadn’t nary d—d dollar. That’s
just my d—d luck always, but I be
gun to look around and 1 soon found
a fellow what had a stock of groce
ries—mostly whisky—and before
long I got right well acquainted
wi h him, I found that he hadn’t a
d—d bit of capacity for business
but he was heavy on the drink.
Well, I told him about my capacity
tor trading and ’specially for mer
cantile pursuits, and he was so
struck with my capacity that we
.-truck a pardnership to onc’t. He
was to furnish the money, and J
was to furnish the capacity and we
was to be equal pardtiers. So we
packed up the hardware, dry goods
and sich and pulled out for Jack-
son diggins. As soon as we got
there and set our tent up and be
gan tradin’, my pard nor lie t»*ok
down drunk and be staid drunk for
mor’n a week. By that time I’d
sold out the whole stock, I tell you
stranger I’ve a wondetlul capacity
for mercantile bussiness. The whis
ky bein’ ail the gone, of course my
‘pard,’ he got sober and I started
him off down here to Rary (Aunaria)
for a new stock. In about foui or
five days he came back pretty well
fixed considering, and went to tra-
din right and left, but rny pardner
he took down drunk agin. He was
the d—dost fool 1 ever saw. Well,
in about a veek the goods were all
gone, and some how or notber, there
wasn’t no money on hand. The
pardner hadn’t the least hit of ca
pacity. When the goods w r as all
cleaned out, he pretty soon begun
to sober up; but I found out after
wards that he had a jug full hid a-
way. When he got sober enough 1
proposed to dissolve the cahootner-
ship, and he finally agreed to it, so
we closed up the concern and divi
ded the assets, and—’
‘But what in the world hudjrou to
vide?’
‘What did we divide?’ Oh, yes;
pard, he look drunk and I took the
diarrhea, and Ijust come down here
to the vally on account of my health,
atid to look for another pardner. 1
say, stranger, have you a stock ol
goods ? for if you have, by jinnig
with my capacity for mercantile
pursuits, you can jist make your e-
ternal fortune up at Jackson diggins.
for it’s mighty lively place, 1 tell
you.’

The Eu Klnx Law.
It is a matter of jnst pride to
every thoughtful anil liberty-loving
man that the infamous Ku klux law
is a thing ot the past. In our joy
over this, we are apt to forget that
many ot its effects still survive; our
Northern prisons still hold many
persons whom that law has enabled
partisan spite to condemn to weary
years of confinement. In the Alba
ny penitentiary is a Southerner by
the name ot Moore. This is the
story he tells:
“Brfore the war I was a well te
do planter in Alabama. I owned
many slaves, which constituted my
wealth.—The events ot the war re
duced me nearly to poverty. At its
close 1 gathered together the frag
ments of iny ruined estate, hired a
few of my former slaves, and com
menced life anew. Ail went well
with me until a month or six weeks
ago, when i was suspected of be
ing a Ku kiux, arrested by a United
Slates marshy,given a hasty trial,
found guilty, sentenced, and two
weeks ago was brought from Wash
ington to this prison. My term is
ten years."
Anti-Dust Railroad Cars.—On
Saturday afternoon (says the Phila
delphia Record) an anti-dust ex
periment was made on the fast two
o’clock express cars to Atlantic
City. There were ten well filled
cars in the train, each having a can
vass apron on both sides, covering
the spaces betwen it and the rails.
The end of these aprons lapped,
thus forming continuous canvass
from one end of the train to the oth
er. On a part of the trip the speed
attained was about forty miles per
hour. There was not the least par
ticle of dust in the first seven cars,
but there appeared to be something
like dust in the eighth, ninth and
tenth cars, but not enough to show
on the garme.its of the passengers.
