A Touching Incident.—A certain
editor tells how his little two-year-old
daughter, last Thursday, called the
snow white snnd, then salt, and then
H>e cream. It is a city editor and riot
a country boor, who tells this, and
hence we put it on record as a very af
fecting incident, and of great interest
to the public generally.
The Democratic Press or Grorgia—
In no country, and at no period in
history, Inis the public press' stood;
more firmly arid boldly by their prin
ciples through good and through evil
report, than has the Democratic press
of Georgia since the war. Even • in
the fnee of the military power sent to
awe them into silence; they have con
tinued to'‘cry aloud arid spare ,not.”
In definnee of the rascals sent to rule
over ns, they have not failed to call
those who were,plundering us thieves
and robbers. Nor did they in the
midSt of their power hesitate to pre
dict the end which awaited these
thieves and robbers Milledgcmlle
Union.
That is pretty talk, but tire writer

Alexis on the Mississippi.—A
steamboat has been chartered to take
the Grand Duke from St. Louis to
New Orleans. No passengers are to
be allowed on board, except Alexis and,
his suite. Newspaper men are espec
ially prohibited; so the public will be
depriyed- of all the; thrilling details . of
the trip, such as what he eats for
supper, how many blankets he covers
with, whether he pitches his snores in
E flat ov C sharp, how often he turns
oy. r and grunts before rising in the
morning, what is the elevation of his
nose when ho takes his matutinal cock
tail, &o., &c. The price of the steam

is almost too disgusting to read, but
we publish it as one of the events of
the day,, and as a specimen ,of the
“higher civilization,” which the North
would force upon ns: ■?
Some twelve years ago, a young
man married a girl and settled at
Dalton, Mass., and commenced life
prosperously and happily. In the
course of time two children, were bom
to them. In the same town there was
a colored man, the husband of a white
woman, and the father' of several
children. Incredible as it may seem,
the wife of the young Daltonian be
came infatuated with the negro, and s
openly confessed her affection for him,
so that her husband and the commu
nity in general couldnot help becom
ing cognizant of the scandalous affair.
At last the grieved and wronged hus
band, after expostulating in vain, al
lowed her to take whatever she pleased
from his house, gave her SI,000, and
told her to depart forever. The wife
of the negro was reimbursed for' her
loss by a present of $50. Much sym
pathy is.felt for the manly and gener
ous victim of this infidelity. .

affords a guarantee of good fruitage for the

THE RIG
In the spring of 1867, while I was.
thought to .bejjeygnd the,reacli of metlicijje
by. my friends aud'fiumly pfij .sicinns, I was
recommended to tr.iycLiii Fonth Amariot
as a last resort, which I accordingly did;
and while there was shown some roots,
herbs and barks, which tho natives in
formed me cured every' curable disease'that
existed among them, comsumption no; ex
cepted, and advised me to try it, which I
did in despair- And. when I had boiled
down the roots, herbs, etc., it made a kind
of sour, bitter, pink-colored liquid, with
rather the flavor of cider. I commenced its
use as directed, and to nr>- great astonish
ment and surprise, it seemed to reach . the
very ground-works of my diseases. Ihadnot
used it more than ten. days before mv sys
tem felt like it was regenerated; I laid
passed through such ordeals Tcould scarce
ly realize it; I felt as I never had felt before
by the use of medieme; I felt invigorated—
my. sprints seemed to he revived, ;ind I felt
stronger find better every hour it seemed.
I continued the use of the medicine for
two months'and started home, feeling bet
ter than ever before according to my .best
recollection. The name I give this won
derful medicine. is., “Holloway’s South
American CiderBitxers.” V
fiver , and spleen, distended stomach and
bowels, chronic sore eyes, indigestion, dys-
' i, hard, dry cough, pain in my left
ad shoulder, palpitation ofthe heart,
weakness oi the spine, nervous exhaustion,
loss of memory, chronic rhenmatisni, in
ion of tliekidnays,; general debility,
ones partial paralysis of'iny' trague i
so I could scarcely articulate - underst md-
ingly, bronchitis, and my physicians said
consumption. My" whole system seemed
to be a perfect mass of c implication of
di-eases. I know there will 1 be many who
.'doubt- this, ail 1 ask of such persons i
are afflicted, and will procure a bottle and
take it according to directions, they will be
convinced.
