In the forenoon, the »iral companies attended divine eer “T. the different churches. At 5 p. m. the grove of the encamp- *. waa filled with an attentive audi- ** xhe choirs of the several churohes nd the camp chorm singers dispensed *r~ irf gacred music. An impressive ser- f,L wU delivered by Eev. Donald Fra- of Decatur, Ga., chaplain of a Flori da regiment during the war. Other ministers assisted in the service. A heavy rain fell immediately before the parade, which deprived many from witnessing tbie interesting feature of tho croirramme, and succeeded in soiling Jome of the pretty “new bonnets worn hr 'be ladies upon the occasion. A few Jthe ladies who remained and toot the chAnees were weather-bound till a late hour in the evening. However, they fared well in the tents and flipped camp tea with the soldiers. MONDAY was spent in drilling and dancing. The interest in the encampment having In creased, a large assombly witnessed tho drilling. Several ladies were upon the [•rounds nearly all day and added peculiar interest and epioe to the day’s enjoy ment. Mauro’s Italian band, which has been here since last Thursday, contri butes to the pleasure of the participants. 1UZSDAT. Captain Burke, of the Gate City Guards, Atlanta, and Lieut J. J. Printup, of the Berne Light Guards, came down yesterday. Captain B. was to have act- cd as Judge, but sickness in his family compelled him to leave. Captain Da- Bienon, of the Baldwin Bines, Milledge- ville, took his position among tho um- -'capt. Thomas Ko3s, of tho Cadets, and Capt W. W. Carnes, of the Macon Vol unteers. are here and will constitute, with Dipt. DuBignon, the jndgeB of tho prize drill. They were met at the depot by a detachment of the staff and others, and were driven direct to the headquarters. After a short conversation and a general formal introduction, eto., a neat and rel* likable ovation w*e given them with their associate judge. Captain DuB., at head quarters. A tastily arranged and taste- tally constituted dinner was sent in by Mrs. D. W. Patterson. Other ladieasenfc dinners also. At the table Capt. Carnes naked of Maj. Mangham if ho remem bered any such dinners during the shank of the late war.to which the Maj. feelingly and reverently replied, "I do not.” Cap- Games afterwards referred to tho blue beef and uneieved corn bread be bad to iuetain life upon during a part of his ar my career. At the mention of such rem* iaiscenses the veterans present sighed and asked to be helped ajain to the vari ant viands. The stinging hunger to which they had to survive during those trying times seemed to have come up be fore them again, and I verily believe if Captain Carnes bad not ceased hie tantili- ring reminders of the war’s hardships, that wo would have wept and gone hun gry sway, for Captain Murphy and Ma jor Mangham came nearly, destroying everything in reach. Captains Boss and DuBignon were not ot age daring the war and they, like myself, could not res ize why such stories made men so hon- ary. However, there was enough left 1.110 louit-a tur ■ annul ujuj^.uj . Could space be allowed I would take pleasure in repeating some of the narra tives delivered by the old soldiers pres ent. Many sighs fell feelingly upon the graves of these ssorod reminiscences. So bitterness or bloody ebirtism mingled ia any of Ibe stories. They were sketches of an honest warfare, for honest oonvio- tions, by a brave and noble people. At-ip. a., THE PE1ZS Dill LX. began. About fifteen hundred persons were present upon the grounds. The companies drilled in tho following order: Barneaville Blues, Quitman Guards, Griffin Light Guards and Spalding Blues. Each company acquitted themselves with much credit. The test was severe. At about 4:30 p. m., the drilling ceased. The excitement was intense, and the de cision of the jadges was awaited with much eagerness. After a short pause, daring which the battalion was formed, facing tho rostrum, the judges mount ed the rostrum (they stood m the field daring the drill) Miss Boss Beck was es corted to the rostrum by Maj. Mangham. The Barneaville Blues were ordered to tho front. Oa taking their position Captain Carnes announced to them in a graceful manner that they had won the prize. An immense and continued round of applause filled the air from the defeat ed companies. Their magnanimity was beautiful. Major Mangham auncu aosd as his rep resentative to deliver the pr'zi Miae B <sa Back. She ro30 gracefully, sweetly, modestly; and her beautiful face was radiant with countless expressions. Her address possessed such rare eloquence that hut for the lack of epaoe I would re- C ; that it be published in fall. Mies is quite young, and she betrsjs ex traordinary talent. To the above Adjutant Hant, at tho request of Captain Murpbey of the B. B.’s, responded. His response was a gem of oratory, sparkling with a deep devo tion and soldierly pride. BarneavUle should be proud of Adjn- tiat Hant, ot the Barntsville Bines. Tbiioompany was alio presented with a hindaome cake.

Washington, June 12.—-No motion having been made by the Senate in the last two executive sessions to reconsider the several hundred army promotions and appointments confirmed last week, the President is at liberty to issna commis. aions forthwith. Tha National Board of Health is still engaged in framing regulations to pre vent or restriot outbreaks of yellow fever in the Southern States. It will not rec ommend reatrioUons upon inter-Stats commerce without due consideration, but it has approved estimates for buildings and additional force at tbs New Orleans quarantine station, and has adopted other measures to stiengtben the State Board of Louisiana.

The latter is now naval officer at New Orleans, but was not then. Replying to Mr. Merrick, Bandall said ho made minutes at the time. All the members voted for Kellogg. Everything passed off dignifiedly. He had visited witnesses in the case since their arrival and talked with per sonal friends. Had shown his notes to Messrs.

It »l<o pledged Georgia to co-operate with the seceded States, and to hold the forts and other Federal property.within her limits until the Atlanta convention shonld decide whether she oonld secede or not. This, Blaine said, showed that Georgia was already in rebellion. With reference to the retaliatory wax measure framed by Hill, he said that it was bo worded as to assnms that every Federal soldier coming on Sonthern soil oame to inoite insurrection and to pnn- ish him tberefor. It was, he said, a measure foolishly offered and wisely with drawn. Hill replied that Blaine had said noth* ing to whioh a sensible man need reply. A true statement of facts had not satis fied him, and he wonld make no farther answer. On motion oZ Lamar the Honse hill for the appointment of a commission for the improvement of the Mississippi river was taken up, bnt without acting thereon the Senate went into executive session and afterwards adjourned.

Its decision wonld be the judg ment on his offioial career. He reviewed the various issues of bonds under his ad ministration. Hs considered tbe qnsstion of the debt a legal one to be deoided by the courts. The convention being a po litioal body snbjeot to politioal inflnenoe, was incompetent to pass calmly on the snbjeot. B. F. Foreman followed in support of the majority report'. He said the State had received nothing in return for the bonds issued during Warmouth’s admin istration ; therefore there could be no dishonor in repudiating them. - MoCafFray, of St. Marys, spoke in sup* port of the minority report. The con vention had no right to go into a judicial investigation of the bontis.and in doing so oversteps its power. The present State government has pledged the faith of the State for the payment of the bonds, and the Supreme Court has decided npon their legality, Tho debate continues to morrow.

It was a transparency earved by a young man and representing a ballot- box pierced by bayonets on one side and bearing on the other the motto: “ Sio sem per tyranma.” This was toe feature of the proceaelon and the way that crowd lifted np ts voice when the yonng fellow oame along, was inexpressibly sweet to patriotict ears. Ita meaning of oourse was perfectly plain, bnt it nearly threw old Clapp, the foesilifer- ons dodo who spreads his servile gariulity over the editorial page of the Republican, into spamp. He filled two or three columns of his paper next day with the most blood curdling staff about an awful conspiracy on tbe part of the Democrats to assassinate the Government.

A JAUNT TH.T PASS. I refer to one taken in most goodly com' pan; last Friday by yonr correspondent which proved exceptionally satisfactory- It was down the Potomac to old Point Oomfort The boats art good, rue ditto, and the time only abont twelve hoars. The charges ate one dollar for the round trip, firty oentsfor berths per night, and same for meals. Yon are on the boat only one night and take only one meal, so that yon leave here at 6 p. m , get to the Point for early breakfast next morning, stay there on til five in the afternoon and got back here next morning for breakfast for the sum of *»y $1,00 ail told. I am sure I never got so much for that amonnt of money in all my previous ex perience and snch was tha verdict of my companions. We, however, spent mere than a'day at the Point. The Hygeia hotel is new, olean, well kept, and one ofthe airiest, cool est houes imaginable. It might bs improv ed, liowoyer, iu one or two minor paints, such ss allowing charges of twenty-five cents each for a (have and a sherry cobbler. The hotel is built so near the beach that an active man conld almost land in the water* by a single jump from the piazza, and at night tha lullaby of the waves sounds so near as almost to atutle yon at first. There is fine bathing in ten steps of the hotel, and plenty of pleasure boats at not very unrea sonable chuges to take yon any where yon wish to go. Then there is Portress Mon roe with garrison and big guns and thick wa’Ia and deep, wide moat, and acres of apaoe and elegant qnuters for men and offi cers and fino band, and all tbe pomp, and glory of dress parade, guard mounting and other military ceremonies. I noticed one thing m connection with the Cofficers, and that is, they were all in uniform whether in or ontsido the fort, or on or off dnty. Here in Washington one never sees a uniform except on New Yeu’s day when the official call is made at the White Honse. I enquir ed of several soldiers where I conld find the casemate,' or cell, or whatever it was m which Mr. Davis was confined, but none of them seemed to know positively its location. Perhaps onr brethren nave become asham- soene of their disgraos. At any rate I didn’t see it. A. W. B.

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE, Wa&zxsgton, Jnne 10,18". 9 l:cks uxe wisdixo up. The aotion cf tho Honse yesterday in pass' ing with only 21 dissenting votes, the legU' labva bill as it oame from the appropriation 'committee, is understood to have an ad journment look, and prophets are plentiful this morning who say to-morrow week at futheit, will see the wind np. If the Radi cals have conoladed to make no farther fight on the dispnted bill*, then the end of the eeeslon is sorely near at band. All of them voted yesterday for the appropriation bill as reported, tbs nays being Democrats exclusively, Mr. Niebolls, of the Savannah district, being the only member of the Geor gia delegation in tbe list After tins bill was out or the w*y, a (mart Alex of a Badi cal named Byan, of Kanaa*, a oock-sparrow sort of a chap, jumped np and moved a bub pen* Ion of the role* ia order to pass the army bill as reported by ths appropriation committee. Bat the Democrats,.not dispos ed to let 'Byan pat fas fingers in ths pie after each a fashion, moved and oarzied an adjournment. They will pass the bill in their own good time and in snch shape as is deemed oest Being responsible for leg islation they naturally desire and intend to put in just such shape as their jodgmsnt dictates. The vote on adjournment was cloM, owing to a few Democrats and all the GmenbackersvotingwiththeBadicals Only two Kadi"- 1 - voted for adjournment. The Democrats who voted against adjournment were Aiken, of S. 0., Culberson, of Texas, Boock, of Wisooneln. and Stephens and Fel ton. If the Badical* really intend to offer no further opposition to tbe passage of ths disputed blO* the Democrats can congratu late themselves on their success in getting ont cf an ngly hole, Into whioh, there is no uta denying they bad gotten themselves, and can go to the oenntey with a much bold er faoe than waa promised a week ago. THE wABNER SILVER BOX, Will hardly have a day In the Senate this session. Tbe Democrat* of that body cau cused yesterday bnt came to no conclusion, except that there were irreconcilable differ ences of opinion among themselves on its provision*. I think it entirely safe to aay that the effort whioh will be made to got it before the Senate by discharging the finance committtce from ita farther consideration will fail, and by Democratic votes. Messrs. Eaton, Hainan, Bayard, McPherson, Ban- dolph, Whyte, Grooms, Bntler, Damir, and Hsmpton, will pretty certainly vote against snch a motion, as will all the Badicals with two or three exceptions. The silver meo, and especially the great Warnor, the daddy of ibe moss ore, are ready to howl over the A Miserable Counterfeit. Tbe Eufanla Times and News gives the following amusing account of the per formances of some shrewd tramp who per sonated Ben. Hill, Junior, a son of onr distinguished Senator: On Friday last an impostor and dead beat generally, calling himself Ben. Hill, Jr., a eon of tho great Georgian, paid his respects to a number of onr citizens, particularly those of the legal profession. Whenever a sly opportunity offered, he wonld state that be fonnd himself in Enfanla out of money, bnt that be had telegraphed for % few hundred of dollars which would bo here tbo next day, and wonld ask the loan cf a dollar or two un til his fnnds arrived. He asked the lean of such em%U amounts that it aroused suspicion, and nearly every one excused themselves by bring jait oaf of change. One piominent lawyer did, however, take him in tow, and carried him to the barber shop and footed his bill fora shave, on tbe score of great admiration for tho Senator, and to carry favor with him for a cabinet appointment, if he shonld one day become President Even a wayward Loy is often the pat of his daddy, and tbe lawyer thonght in this case, tbat by befriending the son he might obligate the parent at least a quar ter’s worth. Tbe Baptiet preacher alto tackled tho festive Ban and gave him a cordial invitation to a sort of chnrcb en tertainment at his residence that night, and telling him to make himself at home, even if he did feel that he was a stranger among strange people. Bat without oi- ting other instances of the way the dis tinguished scion (?) went for Some of onr people, it is only necessary to add that about five o’clock p. m., it was discover ed that Ben. Hill, Jr., waa a first class fraud, and in turn, the pity marshal went for him. From sundry winks, nods, and the coolness with which he began to be treat ed, Bon saw that there was a rapid change taking piece in the social atmos phere, and he eloped ont of town on foot, taking a southerly direction. The mar shal soon followed on horseback, and got in sight of tho rascal as he was striding through Guice’e peach orchard in the southeast quarter of the city ; bnt as there was a ravine and dense thicket j03t beyond, for which he waB making, the marshal saw that it was useless to pur sue him further, and, bidding hiin “scoot from this, bailiwick,” returned to the city.

Prioo only 25 oents. —Tbe story-tabic pictures of whaling, in which a man throws a harpoon from the Mw of a boat, are no longer aoenrate. Of late years the weapon generally nsed has been a bomb mat is fired from a gun and exploded in the whale’s body, A. new implement of this sort is desonbed as follows: The lanoe weighs seven and one-half pounds and con tains one and one quarter pound* of gunpow der, and is propelled by a heavy rocket. There being no discharge ot a heavy gun, the recoil ia a push rather than a blow, and the bomb ia ignited by the rocket when the latter baa burned out. A chain toggle at tached to tha rront end of the rocket is re leased by the explosion, secnrely holding tbe whale, whioh, if not Instantly killed, oinnot long luxvlve the explosion. Statistics c» Fobiiqy Covmnnce—The statistic* ot foreign commerce of the Ueited States in the month of April ebow a const* derable let eeiiing ofthe exoeaa of exports over imports as compared with last year, which indicates a revival of general bosineaa. The foreign imports in April. 1879, ware $42,173,923, against $36,208,317 in April, 1878, and the exports were $53,431,267 in April, 1879, against $58,975,252 in April i878, showing an excess of only $12,172,00(1 in 1879, against $23,937,386 in 1878. In the paa month the business at New York shows an increase of about $2,000,000 in imports and a decrease of $5,000,000 in expoita, as com pared with the same month last year.

The coroner of Chatham county went out to No. 1 os the Albany and Golf rail road and hell an inquest over the bod; of Jack Fergnson, colored, who it will be remembered died in the cars on the re tain trip of the excursion to Savannah. The following whioh we take from the Morning ifetrs is the verdict that w&3 ren dered : “We, the jury, find.from the evidence before us that the deoeased, Jack Fergn- son, colored, came to his death by being oat in the left leg with a razor, the pop liteal artery being severed, causing hem orrhage, which resulted in deatb; said razor being in tbe hands of a person un known to the jnry, and in the opinion of the jnry the killing was willful and pre meditated.” The coroner returned to tho city at fire o’clock in the afternoon. Adam Williams, the negro who was brought to the oity wounded, made his appearanoe at ths office of Dr. Sheftall, on Monday night abont 9 o’olook, and de sired attention. He hod been shot in the baok, the ball passing through and lodg ing in the nnder portion of tbe arm, from which it was extraoted by Dr. Shef tall, who states that at last accounts the negro wbb doing well. The wound is painfnl, bnt is not considered very seri ous. We were unable to learn what action will be taken by the Liberty oonnty au thorities in regard to tbe riot, bnt it is reported that warrants will be IsBned for tbe arrest ot “CaptBin” John Rankin for inciting a riot. It is forlnnate that no white man bad any thing whatever to do with this san- Ruinate riot. Nnw lnt "Blaine, of Maine,” make the most of it. Wonder if he won’t, as usual, charge the affair to the vindiotive “Kuklux.” Like as not. This will bs almost as damaging to ths Rads in the next campaign as Congress man Hall’s late viotory. Gradually the light is dawning npon the masses as to the trna inwardness of so-oalled “Sonth ern outrages.” The following is the report of Conduc- tor H. Y. Righton: , Savannah, Jnne 10, 1879. Ifir. J. S. Tyson, Master of Transportation 1 . Dear Sib—Train No. 18, with oolored ptenio party, left Savannah on tbe 9:h at 9:40 a. m. Stopped at No, 1 on account of crack pin on right side and front driver of engine running warm. While at this point a large number of negroes got on the train, some ten or twelve armed with swords and muskets, nnder command of one Captain Rankin. The tram arrived at No. S at 11:55 a. m., everything being quiet and orderly. Between 3 and 4 o’clock p. in., a disturbance commenced between a couple of negroes on the dan cing platform, whioh ended in the shoot* ing and eutting of several negroes. One was shot standing in the door of coaoh No. 12, and died on the train. We pnt his body off at No. 2, to be carried to his home. As soon as the fighting commen ced I had the engine whistle blown, and got the party on board the tram. When abont to start, several negroes who seem ed to be the leaders of the No. 3 party, made a great many threats abont taking charge of the tiam,and at one time got on the step to carry out their purpose. I got them eff the train and started ont of the turnout. A good many pistol shots were fired at the train when leaving the station. Arrived at Savannah at 7:30 m. Respectfully, H. Y.

They at onoe left the apartment, when ths yonng man pointed the pistol at bis forehead and fired, the ball passing through the soalp, inflicting a wound, wbioh, in ths opinion of Dr. L. A. Falligant, who was celled to attend him, is not serious. Wa are in-* formed that his wife will seek redress in the oonrts. Sale or the Fontenot Mills.—Chron icle and Sentinel: On last Tuesday, tbe Fontenoy Cotton Mills, at Scull Shoals, Greene county, were sold at sheriff’s sale, and were purchased by a company con sisting of Dr. Powell, of Greene county, and Messrs.

Superintendent Fleming, it is well-known, recommend* Appleton’s readers, constru ed upon the worg and phonic eystems, the others representing the alphabet method eo long in vogoe. It is claimed for Sterling’s publications that they ere Southern books, and these, among other exoellenoies; ate fine reeomme'ndationa.

After Dr. Nall had delivered a moving address to the Presbytery, giying his reasons for accepting the call whioh had been tendered to him, the Times says, a motion was then made by the stated clerk tbat the Presbytery grant liberty to Dr. Nall to eever his connection with this churoh and accept the call of the New Orleans chnrcb. The motion was disonesed, and then carried by a vote of four to one. The Trial o? Samuel Hill—State- pauh: nv f§SrrEtf B ?PS&rn^3fn«jfe woman. Everybody who eaw her loved her. I know that she loved me devotedly. I have come toon New York here jnst to sea her. Lost fall while X was away I was wronged—wronged deeper than if a man bad shot zae, and left me to linger ont my life in pain. Men who have not wives cannot feel how I was wronged, bnt a man with a mother and sister ought to be able to appreciate it While I was gone a man went to see my wife and got into ber confidence by xepresent- ing himself as my dear friend. Z oame back to Atlanta and sold pools on the city election. One night after this elec tion I was np town, when a friend oame to me and told me Z had better go out home, as some one bad gone there and told my wife that I was coming home to kill her. I hastened out to my honse at 200 East Hunter street, and fonnd on the floor a note saying: “My deer husband, good-bye. I oall yon Dy tbat name for the last time. I am gone.” It was signed by my wife, an! I believed that a man oame in a carriage and took her away. The night before this hap pened, she woke and cried like a child, saying that she loved me better than any one else in the woild. I knew there was something the matter, but never once suspected toe truth. I love my wife now bs trnly as a man can. 1 am honorably married to her and truly love her. On tha evening of the tronblo I was coming ont of the billiard-room of the National Hotel, when I heard some one call me In the bar-room, and I went theie. I saw a man who, on my approach, pnt his hand behind him, and evidently prepared to attack me. I did as any man wonld have done, I defended myself.

Unveiling cx* the Confederate Mon ument in Thomasyilde.—The Szuthsm Enterprise gives a glowing ’.and spirited aooountof the pageant and ceremonies attending ths unveiling of ths beantifnl monument to onr departed heroes in that oity, which came off on the lOtb instant. In tbe proosEsion were three military companies, to-wit: The Lowndes Vol unteers, Captain S. L. Varnedoes; the Jefferson Rifles, Lieutenant Bott, and the Thomasville Guards, Captain E. W. Smith. Then foliowtd a mBgnifioent oar containing fourteen joucg ladies, each the daughter of a Confederate soldier, and representing the States of Dixie. We give the their names: Miss Mary Ponder, Virginia; Mise Susie Smith, North Caroline; Miss Sallie Stark, Bouth Carolina; Miss Minnie Wil liams, Georgia; Mias Minnie Mitchell, Alabama; Miss Lula Chaires, Florida; Miss Mattie Whatley, Kentucky; Miss Bessie Baker, Missouri; Miss Marie Whitehead, Arkansas; Mias Bessie Ren- nau, "Tennessee; Miss Bessie Blacksbear, Texet; Miss Hattie Ball, Mary land; Miss Rosa Harmon, Mississippi; Miss Minnie Adame, Louisiana. t Following the car were the Mayor end Alderman, ex-Confederate soldiers, citi zens, private carriages, etc. At tbe monument the procession halted, and Horn W. M- Hammond, the orator of the day, having been appropriately intro* dneed by Professor O. D. Scott, procetdei to deliver one of tha most. eloquent and patriotic addresses we have ever read. CVe trust it will be preserved and circu lated m permanent form. The day parsed off with nothing to mar tbo bsrmoryof he ocoaaiog. • Mo Grant ana No csosarlem. The Herald of Tuesday, in a formida ble leader, defends itself against the strictures . of a. correspondent, who is weaned of tbe Grant discussion. It claims to. have pursued tho tiresome theme cat of * conscientious regard for public dnty. Its pertinacious sounding of the alarm about a third term and Cm saris m three years ago was, at first, ridi culed ; but the people soon recognized a great and pressing peril to the country and through the instrumentality of tbe Herald, tbe whole country was aroused and the movement defeated.. ‘ Three months ago the movement again took shape and wa* aacertairfed to be ef a vary serious nature, and the Herald again recognized its duty to expose a schema “threatening tha stability of onr free in- stitntioue.” Tbe fferaXd now believes that “the Grant movement; has been broken and shattered by tha publicity wbioh has been given it,” and that the "danger of Cm-ariem ia at length practi cally disarmed.” It ia possible thet General Grant may refuse to become a candidate io tho face of any serious opposition to bis nomina tion, even though it might be clear that he oonld beat the field of Rrpublisaa candi dates; bnt, in onr opinion, nothing bnt ■aob a refusal on bts part will prevtnt hia nomination.

' Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint, DYSFEFSIA AND SICK HEADACKS. Symptoms of a Diwased Liver, P \IN in the right side, under tha edge of the rib®, increases on pres sure ; sometimes the pain is in the leftjj v^ side; the patient is raruly able to he on the left side; sopietisnes the pain is fejt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the tog of the sljo'uldex, and is sometimes mistaket*- fqrRheumatism in the arm. The stom ach'iV affected with loss of appetite' -* 1 and sickness ; the boVeSs in general are costive, sometimes alternative with ldx; the head is troubled vrtth pain, * atcomphnied With"a dull, heavy sen- ■ sation in the bath part. There is gen erally a considerable loss of mennSry, •«. accompanied with a painful sensation;* . or having left undone something which ought to have been done. . A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debilityhe is ehsfly sfhrtledrhis—' feet arc cold or burning, and he com plains of a prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exercise would-be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely-* summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them existed, yet exam ination of the body, after death, has shown the liver have been exten sively deranged. AGUE AND FEVER. Dr. C. McLane’s Liver Pills, in cases of Ague and Fever, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory* to, or after taking Quinine. We would ‘advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them a fair trial. For all bilious derangements, and as a simple purgative, they arc nn- equaled. BEWARE OF IMITATION*. The genuine are never sugar coated. Every box has a red wax seal on the lid, with the impression Dr.. hJcLANE’s Liver Pills. The genuine McLane’s Liver Pills bear the signatures of C. McLan* and Fleming Bros, on the wrappers. Insist upon having the genuine Dr. C. McLane’s Liver Pills, prepared by Fleming Bros., of Pittsburgh,- Pa., the market being full of imitations ot the name McLane, spelled differently but same pronunciation. H
