It Is on that account the cheapest One ean of Sea Foam is worth three of any other baking powder. By the use of it, your bread will be equal to Fifth Avenue. Your food will be the best. Your health will be preserved. Your daily work mode easier. Bread will be whiter and richer. You will save a great deal of money, By the use of Sea Foam, a barrel four makes forty pounds more bread. Tour bread, biscuit, and eakes will be always light if Sea Foam it used. It is a new comfort for home. It ia pure, and not adulterated. It is healthy for you and the children, It is the perfection of science in cookery. Your cookery will be always good. You will always have a good cook, It makes every cook a good one. Your bread will never be sour. Chemists who have analysed Sea Foam commend it. Physicians who have experienced witnessed its health'promoting properties, commend it Wholesale grocers always commend it Retail merchants who have introduced it among their customers and noted its wonderfully rapid sale, never fail to commend it. Husbands and fathers, whose wonder and delight at the greatly improved and uniformly good quality of the bread and pastry have led them to Inquire the cause, are loud in their commendation of iL Housekeepers who have onee used it will have no other, and thus most strongly commend iL Cooks whose best effort* with other powders have failed, are jubilant over Sea Foam. AU over the country it is UMVEMAULV COMMENDED Actually the ladies of Georgia, where SEA Foam hat been introduced, are now as noted for their exceltent bread biscuits, oom-oakts, and other cookery os they have always been for their remarkable beauty. Nowhere in the world can be found better bread, biscuit, and cakes than is produced by these noble ladies. There is a constant rivalry among them to tee who shall make the best And not only is this the ease, but Sea Foam add# to their beauty, for health brings beauty, and nothing more conducive to good health than light, nutritious bread, eakes, and poetry, which Sea Foam never fails to make. Sea Foam is for sale by all first-class retail grocers In nearly every city, If your grocer hasn't it in stock, and is an obliging man, he will get ' for you. If, however, you are un able to obtain It readily at home, tend for circular and price-list to Chintz, Jones & Co. ■BaHftoctaram and Proprietor*, In there no place *n the face of tho earth Where charity dwelleth, where virtue has birth?

Sum marry bekause they Imre been highsted sum whur else; (bis iz u cross match, a bay unil a sorrel; liride mokes it endurable. Sum marry for love withoutucent In thoir pocket nor o friond in the world, nor o drop of pedigree. This looks desperote, but it iz the strength of the game. Sum murry bekause they think wimmiu will oe scarce next year, and live tto wonder bow the orop bolds out. Sum marry to get rid of them selves, nnd discover that iho gome wos one that two could play ut, and neither win. Sum marry the Bocond time to get oven, and And it u gumbling game the more they put down the less they take up. Sum marry, they can’t tell why, nnd live, th.y cant tell how. Almost everybody gets married, and it is a good joko. Sum marry iu haste, and thon sit down aud think it carefully over. Snm think it overcure fully fust, and tlieu set down and marry. Both ways are right, if they hit the mark. Sum marry rakes to convert them. This is a little risky, i ud takes a smart missionary to do it, Sum marry eoquetts. This is like buying poor land, heavily mortgaged, and working the balance ov ynre days to clear oph the mortgages. But, after alt, married life iz full ascertain as the dry goods bizziness.

The following snake story from the Covington Enterprise is about the snakiest one we ever read. Hers it is: ‘Yonng Newton’ dropped in onr office yesterday and gave us the par ticulars ot a difficulty he witnessed between a large rattlesnake and a cat. The snake was trying to get through a fenoe on Duel! plantation, when a large cat, sup- posd to belong to Mr. Thomas Pet ty, made an attack upon the serpent. After the cat had caught the snake with its teeth and drew it back, it looked as if it wub dead. The cat immediately began to eat the reptile, and at the first entrance of the cat’s teeth in the snake’s flesh, it revived, and struok the cat in the mouth, causing instant death. After this, tho snake swallowed ths cat and en deavored to travel. ‘Young Newton’ then killed the snake and cut it open, finding the cat, supposed to be in- stantljr killed, and was astounded to te see it crawl ont and devour the dead snake, High-bred women in Europe don’t wear jewelry except in full diess. Washington, May 28. The circumstances attending tho passage of the Potter resolutions to investigate theulledged frauds iu the Presidential election of 1876 iu the States of Louisiana and Florida, to gether with the subsequent declara tions of many influential Democratic politicians aad journalists, evidence ;hut if both houses of the Forty- sixth Congress are Democratic, the majority intend to oust President Hayes and inaugurate Mr. Tilden. The title of President Hayes was settled irrevocably by the Forty- fourth Congress iu theaetcreatingthe Electoral Commission.; under wh oil he was legally declared elected and legally inaugurated. Tho Forty-fifth Oougress has no more right to dis pute his election than he has to ques tion the title of any victorious con testant to his scat in that body. The Forty-sixth Congress will have no more right to ignore him and to rec ognize his defeated contestant, Mr. Tilden, than Mr. Hayes would have to Bend a tile of soldiers to the House of Uepreseututives to unseal a Democrat whom he might consider to have been wrongfully Boated or fraudulently elected. The lenders in this desperute attempt to Mexicnniz our institutions rely confidently up on tho “solid youth’’ to lurnish the bulk of the Democratic majority in the next House ef lteprcsentativcs, tile Senate being already secured. Hemembering tie enoouragemeut which the North :rn Democrats iu 1860 aud 1861 extinded to the South ern States to secs je and the manner in which their pr'/tolses of aid and comfort were fulfilled, can tho South ern people afford to join this revolu tionary movement with the certainty that wnen the inevitable hour of per il oouicb they will aguin be left units listed and uiuue to meet the storm from the North, onoe more united by this attempt te revive uu issue whose settlement was forced by public opin ion upon au unwilling Congress? In tlie dark days of February, 1877, when civil war over the disputed election was imminent, und patriots trembled for the safety of republican institutions, the Southern members of Cougress averted the danger by compelling the completion of the electoral count under the law which botli parties in Congress had enact ed. But now the Representatives from the Southern Suites, with a very few exceptions, have joined a movement to subvert the resit tsof their former patriotic uction, und to remand the country|to that anarchy from which less than two years ago it was saved by thoir efforts. Grant that iu permitting the auto nomy of all the States nnd in ap- roiuting oitizens to office in the South insteud of strangers, Presi dent Hayes has but discharged his constitutional duty, does that excuse the Southern Representatives fur at tempting to invalidate his title which they establish, or will it justify them in ’bringing the country again iu danger of civil war in tho effort to unseat him and inaugurate Mr. Til- den? The South must now face the most momentous crisis in its history sines 1861. To - indorse tho recent conduct ot (heir representatives is to admit the truth of the oharge that the people of the South care uothing for the welfare of the uuiou, desire the downfall of the republio aud would rejoice to eee it again involved in civ il war. If their Representatives have not reflected their sentiments, as I believe to be the oase, then the peo ple of the Southern States should take care that iu the Forty-sixth Congress they are represented by men who will defeat tbs disturbers ef the pnblio peuce and prevent the Mexi- canization of onr institutions. To do this they may be compelled to act independent of the Democratic par ty. Recent events have demonstra ted the inability ot Democratic members of Congress to resiBt the mandates of the caucus nnd the ter rors of the psrty lash, the one wield ed and the other inspired by men who seem willing to endanger the welfare of the conutry and the stability of republican institutions for the sake of revenge on political opponents and in the hope of dividing the “spoils of victory.” If the democratic Representatives of the South oould not resist the caucus commaud to pass the Potter resolutions, unamended aud without debate, how will they be able in the Forty-sixth Congress to resist a sim ilar demand to ignore Mr. Hayes as President and to recognize Mr. Til- den? It is, theralors, the duty of the Southern people to afford norowtling evidence of their renewed devotion to ths Union, in wliioh they now en joy every right of citizenship and are subject to no restrictions not laid up on every citizen by sending Repre sentatives to the Party-sixth Con gress pledged to resist at all hazards the revolutionary schemes of the mischief makers who seem to have gained control of ths Honse of Rep resentatives of the Forty-fifth Con gress. To this end the people in ev ery district Bbottld meot publicly, or ganize and resolve to the support of no person for Congress who has giv en aid to this movement, nnd who will not pledge himself to sustain the title of President llaycs during the term for which he was electod, against all attempts at his overthrow. Only in this way can a gravo danger to the Republic be uverted nnd con vincing proof be given tbst the con fidence wse not misplaced wbioli President Hayes manifested in tho South when he withdrew the troops from the State Houses of South Car olina nnd Louisiana. I have spoken plainly and earnestly, for I feel that 1 should be unworthy to represent the South in the Administration ere I to remain silent now. Invi ted to the Cabinet ns u Southern ■inn to see that justice wus done to the South, required neither to apol ogize for my record nor to disown my political principles, it is my duty now to warn the people of tlie South of tlie danger wliioh now threatens the country. No innn need liopo that the schemes of the men who have engineered tlie movement to unseat President Hayes cun be cur ried out without a bloody civil war. To avert th is danger I confidently rely upon the patriotism und honor of the people ol my native section. (Signed.) D. M. Key. Greely Again.

I complied with the request, and was told to “show the young whelp up and be quiok about it.” Tho “young whelp” had scarcely entered the room when Greeley open 'd on him.

I sometimes take a little j’-st to encournge ’em, fer they are human beings, und just as much entitled to u livin’ as the best of ns. Mr. Editor, its a great comfort to me to set in my piazzor these pleas ant evenings and look over the farm, and smoke the pipe ol peace, und ru minate. Ruminate upon the rise and fall of Empires and parties and presidents and preachers. I think when a man bus passed the Itubioon of life, and seen his share of trouble, smokin' is allowable for it kinder reconciles him to live on awhile lon ger, nnd promotes pbilosoflc reflec tions. 1 norer knowd a high-tam pered man to bo fond of it. Old Aunt Patience told me she Imd been smokin, foi 50 years, und 1 beard her advisin’ Mrs Arp to try it awhile, for «cz she, “missus, it makes a body so quiet and peaceable.” But my wife, you know, was raised a Methodist, and they are fernent it Just like all other denominations, tlisy make n close run on sum tilings, and ou otherB a little in tho socket.

Itdoes look like u pity to see his mcetin house closed every .Sunday and may be, when lie comes heme uguin, a kind providence will conclude to let him abide with his dock. But then, ou tlio other baud, it muy bo more important tor tlie doo'or to use his influence with the rascals at Wush- ingten to keep cm from stenlin and lyiu, and at tlie same lime attend to our political intrust und continue to send us reliable garden seed, it inay be all for the best. The good Lord knows, I don’t. Therefore I haven’t made up my mind about sendin him back again. You see there is Gen. Wefford, who is my friend, und he rnout want to go, und he built a finer meetiu’ liouso than anybody, aud anybody is welcome to preach in it who is heavenly minded and a good democrat. Tho general is uo preach er, but then lie can run the camp while the doctor is ruuniu’ the cross. Then there is my friend Gus Wright, ami lie rnout wunt to go. lie ain’t got any meetiu’ house of his own, bnt then he preuches ail around gen erally, and dips ’em and washes the saints’ feet, and so fortli lie wus a geaeral, too, and can run the camp and the cross both, and I always wondered why he dident build him a sinnygog or sumthin’. I like to see every man work up ts the full meas ure of his capacity. You see the prcaoliers and tlie soldiers have got the country sorter iu a swing, and no other sort needent run for office till the thing wears out. Nobody need ent try to get ia on the eternal prin ciples of tho Jeffersonian democracy. Therefore, if we liav got to take ’em, lets take the very best we can git. Mr. Editur, I read the other day that there was thirty-seven preachers iu Congress, and they was all Meth odists and Baptists, and it dident look exactly fair to me. Can’t we have a few Presbyterians and Epis copalians sent on just to keop ths Whtrms, The State of Maryland has, by its Legislature, formerly de clared that due effect wus not given to the electoral vote cast by that State on the sixth day of December, 1876, by reason of fraudulent returns in the electoral voto from the States of Florida and Louisiana; and Whereas, An affidavit by Samuel B.

I’ve ruminsted a power over these things, and aint hide bound neither, for my doctrine is not to fuss about what yon cant help.
