“Am T youronly and first lore?” asked a
bn lit o'i'd Hit as slid reclined her clas
tic y moulded brow ujjou tlie shoulder
of her lorcr.
“No, Leila, you are not my only, nor
my first; I liave loved another. Long
years before I saw you I loved another—
and I love that other still.”
“Love that other still, and better than
me? Paul, why do you tell me that?”
asked she, raising her dark blue eyes and
gazing steadfastly into those of her lover,
in astonishment, half in sorrow, while her
jewelled fingers tightened convulsively
upon his arm.
“You asked me, Leila, and I answer
with truth and sincerity; you would not
have me deceive you. would you?”
“You love her still, then?”
“I love her still.”
“Ami better than you do me?”
“Not better, but as well.”
“And will love her still?”
“Until death’ and even beyond death,
over her last resting place will I strew
spring’s earliest flowers; and bedew the
sacred spot with the purest tears of love
ever shed.”
“Handsomer than I, is she not?”
“Her eyes are black as night, and her
hair in glossy blackness outvies the wings
of the raven. She hasn’t j’our sweet blue
eyes nor your soft brown hair; yet, Oh!
Leila her eyes have been the sweetest
eyes, to me, that ever looked the look of
eternal love.”
“Paul why do you wPh to break my
heart? Why have you taught me to love
you so wildly, blindly, and then in the
midst of my happiness, tell me that there
is an impassable barrier between us?—
This night, Paul, we must part forever! I
would not have believed this, had another
told me?” and her eyes grew dim with
tears.
“Be not too rash, Leila; hear me to the
end; yon love me too dearly to part with
me thus! Think you that you could not
share my heart with one I so dearly love?”
GNever, Paul, never!”
“You shall. Leila, and must; Listen for
a moment, while I tell you of my first
Jove, and I am sure you will he willing to
share with Iter then.”
“I will listen, Paul but will not share
your love; i must have all or none; I am
selfish in that respect, and who that loves
as I do, is not? Forget me, Paul, or for
get her forever!
“Forget her, Leila? Never! I would
not lose one jot of her pure affections for
the fairest face that ever bloomed; no, not
for the girdle of Venus or the love of a
second Helen?”
“Then, Paul, you are lost to me forever;
we must part. Farewell to our dream of
a brighter future. I love you too well,
and am too proud to share your love with
aught created. Oh! Paul, you have
wronged me deeply;” and her exquisitely
chiselled lips curled with indignant sorrow.
“Stop, Leila, or you will deeply wrong
me, also. T met this loved one. as
I said before, long years ago, in one of the
sweetest and sunnies vales of our broad
Illinois, wandered with her, hand in hand,
for years, beside the sparkling waters of
my childhood’s home. First by her smile
of exquisite sweetness, she taught my
heart that she loved me with unutterable
fondness; and never liave I doubted; my
my trust in her has ever been steadfast
and fearless; never has her eve looked cold
ly upon me, and never will it, till the
breath angel shall dim them for the long
sleep. Oft in the still hours of night have
I been awakened, as if by the sleep-god’s
wing, and beheld that face, those eyes
gazing upon me with all the beatific ten
derness of a guardian angel over a repent
ing prodigal, and a kiss would fall upon my
brow more soothing than the dews of Her-
mon. The same gentle hand has led me
along life’s flowery way, and beside its
unruffled waters; and if ever my arm was
raised to a deed of wrong, or my heart
steeled to conceive it. that gentle admon
itory voice came whispering in my ear,
and stayed the one midway and drew the
iron from the other. And I too well re
member, in my manhood’s riper years,
when deep sorrow fell upon my soul, and
I would fain have drank oblivion from the
wine cup’s fiery brim, that same dark
eyed woman came, and bade me, in the
name of God, shun the fatal snare; and,
twining her arms around mv neck, while
her eyes beamed with love’s deep inspira
tion, she poured oil upon the troubled
waters; told me of purer hopes and higher
aims, and in my ear whispered a golden
word that has out-lived ali sorrow.
“Leila, would you know the name of
my first lore? ‘Tis Mv Mother.”
“Oh! Paul, I’ll forgive you, and will
share your love; indeed 1 will.”
“I knew you would, Leila. Second
love is as dear as the first.”—Waverly
Magazine:
The Tootharhe,—“My dear friend,”
said H—, “lean cure your toothache in
ten minutes.”
“How? How?” I inquired. “Po it in
pity.”
“Instantly,” said he. “Have you any
alum?”
“Yes.”
“Bring it. with some common salt.”
They were produced. My friend pul
verized them, and mixed them in equal
quantities, then wet a piece of cotton,
causing the mixed powder to adhere, and
placed it in my hollow tooth.
“There,” said he, ■“if that does not cure
you, I will forfeit my head. You may
tell this to every one, and publish it every
where. The remedy is in fallible.”
It was as he predicted. On the intro
duction of the mixed alum and salt, T
experienced a sensation of coldness, which
gradually subsided, and with it the alum
and salt. It cured the torments of the
toothache.—Exchange.
Important Legal Dicirioa—A Slave
Cannot Elect to be Free.—A case was de
cided in the Supreme Court of Appeals of
Virginia, at its last January term, involv
ing a very important principle, and one
likely to lead to some practical results in
the Commonwealth. We allude to tlie
case of Bailey et a/s vs. Pumdexter's Exe
cutors. Howel et als vs, same.
Tlie case turned upon the construction
of certain clauses in the will of John L.
Poindexter; the main clause hearing ou the
subjects reading as follows:
“The negroes loaned my wife, at her
death, I wish to have tbc.ir choice of being
emancipated or sold publicly. If they pre
fer being emancipated, it is my wish they
be hired out until a sufficient sum be rai
sed to defray their expenses to a land
where they can enjoy freedom; if there
should not be euough perishable property
loaned my wife to pay off the legacies to
Ann Lewis Howes and Georgianna Bryan,
they are to be hired until a sufficient sum
is raised to pay the deficiency. If they
prefer being sold and remaining here in
slavery, it is my wish the} be sold pub
licly, and tiie money arising to be equal
ly divided between my sister, Fiiza
Marshall, children of heirs of my brother;
Carter B. Poindexter, my nephews Wm.
C. Howel and Daniel H.'Howell, and my
neice Naucy Bailey”
The Appellants carried their point—the
Court deciding that the provisions of a
will giving to slaves the option, at the
death of a life tenant, of being emancipated
or sold are void, the slaves having no le
gal capacity to make such election—that
slaves have, no civil or social rights, no
no legal capacity to make, discharge or
assent to contracts.
A Peculiar Occurrence.
On the 10th of March, there came a
vouner man ,-t. fids pine— V.'ifh him he
brought a letter of introduction from Mr.
M. D. Wilcox, of Telfair county, Georgia.
This letter introduced the young man as
W. E. Wilcox, and requested that an en
trance into the school might be affoftled
him. The requirements of the letter were
carried out, and the youth prosecuted his
studies up to the 2d of April, when the
school adjourned for a short vacation.—
On the 10th he was taken sick, though not
apparently dangerous. During the 12th
was quite convalescent; hut on the even
ing of the 13th an unyielding re-action
took {dace, resulting in congestion of the
lungs, from which the poor youth breathed
his last, about twelve o’clock, *M.» Wed

Ills raging conscience gave the following
confession : That his name was Stephen
Elliott Cawthorn, and his home was at
Ringgold, Bienville Parish, Louisiana.
From that place he fled last December,
having stained his hands in the mortal

We publish this paragraph, not from

Origin of Words and Phrases.
Windfall.—The origin of this term is
?aid to be the following :
Some of the nobility of England by the
enure of their estates were forbidden sell-
ng any of the trees upon them, the timber
leing reserved fur the use of the royal
iavy. Such trees as fell without cutting,
.cere the property of the occupant. A
omado, therefore, was a perfect god send,
n everv sense of of the term, to those who
lad the occupancy of the extensive forests
uul tlie windfall was sometimes of very
^reat value.
Robbing Peter to Pay Paul.—In the
time of Edward VI., much of the lands of
St. Peter, at Westminster, were seized by
his majesty’s ministers and courtiers; but
a order to reconcile the people to thatrob-
nerv, they allowed a portion of the lauds
towards the repairs of St. Paul’s Church;
hence the plirasa “robbing Peter to pay
Paul.”
Bankrupt.—Few words have so re
markable a history as the familiar word
bankrupt. The money changers of Italy
had, it is said, benches or stalls, in tlie
bourse or exchange in former times, and at
these they conducted their ordinary busi
ness. When any of them fell back in the
world, and became insolvent, his bench
was broken, and the names of the broken
bench, banco rotto. was given to him.
When the word was adopted into English,
it was nearer to Italian than it now is, be
ing “baukerouF” instead of bankrupt.
Hie Betty Martin.—Many of our
most popular vulgarisms have their origin
in some whimsical perversion of language
or of fact. St. Martin is one of the worth
iest of the Roman calendar, and a form of
prayer commences with these words, “ O
mil//beats Martin” which was corrupted
to “My eye and Betty Martin.”
Roland for an Oliver.—Although no
more common phrase is in use, vet few are
acquainted with its -origin. The expres
sion signifies the giving of an equivalent.
Roland and Oliver were two knights fam
ous in romance. The wonderful achieve
ments of the one can only he equaled by
those of the other. Hence the plir.ise
“Roland for an Oliver.”
Mind Your P’s and Q’s.—The origin
of this phrase, is said to have been a call
of attention, in the old English ale-house,
pints and quarts being scored down to the
unconscious or reckless beer-bidder.
He’s Caught a Tartar.—In some
battle between the Russians and Tartars,
who are a wild sort of people, in the north
of Asia, a private soldier called out, “Cap
tain halloo there! I’ve ca-ught a Tartar.”
“Fetch him along then” said the Cap
tain.
“Ay, but lie won’t let me,” said tbe
man ; and tbe fact was, the Tartar bad
had caught him. So when a man thinks to
take another in and gets bit himself, they
say, “He’s caught a Tartar.”
Deacon Briggs.—Old Deacon Briggs
is as remarkable for his closen ess as was
Dickens’ man Barkis. His name has come
to he a proverb in our region for such an
economy as ever makes a man the subject
of ridicule anil contempt. One bitter cold
morning a few falls ago, he hade the boys
drive together all the pigs that were to l>e
fattened for tbe market, into the little
yard just at the corner of the house. A
pig was caught by one of the youngsters;
the Deacon, with a pair of pincers in one
hand, and a sharp knife in the other, seized
the unfortunate by the tail, and cut it off,
close vp. So on through the whole herd,
leaving not a pig with even the stump of
a tail. Cort. who worked for his grand
father stood by in amazement—his hands
in lus pockets, his body wrapped into a
crescent by tbe cold and bis teeth jawing
against the outrage with a prodigious clat
ter. At last he stuttered out:
“Grandpa! What are you cutting off
those tails for?”
Sober and solemn was Deacon Briggs
as he replied:
“You never will be a rich man, for you
do not know what it is to be savin.,. You
ought to know, my child, that it takes a
bushel of corn to fatten an inch of tail /”
Farming on a Grand Scale.—Several
men of wealth in New York, Buffalo and
Chicago, (says the Movement, a new pa
per just started in New York.) have it in
contemplation to establish somewhere in
the West, a Leviathan Farm, of from one
hundred thousand to two hundred thousand
acres. Their object is to do for Agricul
ture, by tlie use of combined wealth and
and tlie power of Machinery, what has
been done in the past half century, by
the railroad and factory, to supersede the
old stage coach and the spinning wheel.
They will organize the vast tract into two
rival establishments, with a military or
ganization of labor, gigantic machinery to
plow, to plant, reap and harvest—vast
herds of of horses, sheep and cattle of the
most select stock, and the culture of fruit
and grains on a grand scale.
Court Dresses.—Tlie Londow “Punch”
follows the London “Times” in protesting
against the folly of “going to Court in lu
dicrous dresses, most of them resembling
liveries, without petitioning for deliverance
from the necessity of thus disgracing our
selves, and for the abolition of all the pow
der, plush breeches, and buckles, cocked-
hats, and other unchristian accoutrements
trappings, and other emblems of flunkey-
dom .and hoodledom, exhibited on State
occasions. Let us put away from us these
things, and when we go to Court, go dress
ed like rational people, following the ex
ample set us by the citizens of tbe Presi
dential Republic on theotlier side of the
Atlantic.”

A BILL FOR THE ADMISSION OF KANSAS.
Whereas the people of the Territory of Kansas
did, by a convention of delegates assembled at
Lecomptoii ou tbe 7th day of November, one
thousand eight hundred and fifty-seven, for
that purpose, form for themselves a constitution
and State government, which constitution is re
publican; and whereas, at the same time and place,

right if certain conditions set forth in said ordi
nance be accepted and agreed to by the Congress
of the United States; and whereas the said consti
tution and ordinance have been presented to the
Congress of the United States by order of said
convention, and admission of said Territory into

the ordinance framed at Lecompton be submitted
to a vote of the people of Kansas and assented to
by' them or a majority of the voters voting at an
election to be held for that puipose, namely: that
the following propositions be. and the same are
hereby, offered to the people of Kansas for accep
tance or rejection, which, if accepted, shall be
obligatory on tlie United States and upon the said

no other purpose. Third, that ten entire sections
of laud, to be selected by the governor of said

nc buildings or for the erection of others at the
scat of government, under the direction of the leg
islature thereof. Fourth, that all salt springs
within said State, not exceeding twelve in number
with six sections of land adjoining, or as contin-
guous as may be to each, shall be granted to said
State for its use, the same tube selected by the

sion ofsaid State, and, when so selected, to be
used or disposed of on such terms, conditions, and

nal improvements, as the legislature shall direct
Prodded, The foregoing propositions herein ott
ered are on the condition that said State of Kan

State to be admitted into the Union at that tune;
and if so, sha’l proceed to form a constitution and
take all necessary steps for the establishment ofa
State government in conformity with the federal
constitution, subject to such limitations and re
strictions as to the mode and manner of its approv
al or ratification by the people of the proposed

The Judge Who Always Anticipated
As a J udge, Lord Avonmore had one great fault,
be was apt to take up a fiist impression of a cause
and it was very difficult afterward to obliterate
it. The advocate,'therefore, liad not only to strug
gle against tlie real obstacle presented to him by
the case itself, but also with the imaginary ones
created by the hasty anticipation of the Judge
Curran was one day most seriously annoyed by
this habit of Lord Avonmore, aud he took tbe
following whimsical method of correcting it. (The
reader must remember that the object of the nar
rator was, by a tedious and malicious procrastina
tion, to irritate bis hearer into the vice he was so
anxious to eradicate.) They were to dine to-
j gether at the house of a common friend, and a
large party were assembled, many of whom witnes
sed the occurrences of tlie morning. Curran, con
trary to all his usual habits, was late for dinner,
and at length arrived in the most admirable af
fectation.
“Why. Mr. Curran, you have just kept us a full
hour waiting dinner for you.” grumbled out Lord
Avonmore.
“Oh, my dear lord, I regret it much; you must
know it is not my custom; hut I’ve just been wit
ness to a most melancholy occurrence.”
“My God! you seem terribly moved by it;
take a glass of wine. What was it; what was
it?”
“I will tell you, my lord, the moment I can col
lect myself. I had been detained at court—in tlie
Court 'of Chancery—your lordship knows the
Chancellor sits late.”
“I do—I do: but go on.”
“Well, my lord, 1 was hurrying liere as fast as
I could—I did not even change my dress—I hope I
shall be ext used for coining in my boots.”
“I’oli, pob. never mir.d vour boots: tlie point—
come at once to the point of your story.”
1 Oh, I will, my good lord, in a moment. I
walked here: I would not even wait to get the
carriage ready; it would have taken time, you
know. Now there is a market exactly in the road
by which I had to pass; your lordship may perhaps
recollect the market, do you?
“To be sure I do; go on, Curran—go on with the
story.”
“I am very glad your lordship remembers the
market, for I totally forget the name of it—the
name—the name—”
“What the devil signifies the name of it, Sir?
It's the Castle Market.”
“Your lordship is perfectly right it is called
the Castle Market.” Well, I was passing through
that very lndentical Castle Market, when I ob
served a butcher preparing to kill a calf. He had
a huge knife in his hand; it was as sharp as a razor.
The calf was standing behind him; he drew the
knife to plunge it into the animal Justus he was
in the act of doing so, a little boy about four years
old—his only son, the loveliest little boy 1 ever
saw, ran suddenly across his path, and lie killed
—Oli, my God! lie killed—”
“The child! the child! the child!!” vociferated
Lord Avonmore.
“No, my lord, the calf.” continued Curran very
coolly! “he kill' d the calf, but your lordship is in
the habit of anticipating.” *>
The universal laugh was thus raised against Iris
lordship; ar.d Curran declared that, often afterward,
a first impression was removed more easily from
the Court of Exchequer by the recollection of the
calf in Castle Market than by all the eloquence of
the entire profession.
Colored Fluids for the Hair are Dnnpcrons.—Pro

healthy functions upon which the original and natural
color of the hair and its moisture, it gloss, its life, and
consequently its original beauty depended. Professor

a man of eighty, and his hair was dry, thin and dead.

Why Cousins Should not Marry.—In tbe annual
report of the Superintendent of the Kentucky
Institution for tlie Deaf aud Dumb, is the follow
ing argument aginst marriage of cousins:
“From ten to twenty per cent of deaf mutes are
the children of cousins. It is greatly to be re
gretted rhnt lhe law forbidding the marriage of
first cousins did not pass the recent legislature.
These marriages arc a violation of the law of
nature, as it is evidenced by the affliction visited
in almost every case ujion their offspring in deaf
ness, blindness and idiocy—and ought to he a
violation of human law Also. The common wealth
has a clear right to protect itself against these ill-
starred matches, whose offspring it has to sustain,
frequently for life. It may he hoped that the impor
tant subject will not escape the action of our
legislators many years longer. It is confidently
believed that by forbidding marriages of this kind,
aud by proper attention and care of infants labor
ing under the disease stated, the number of deaf
in the commoriitv might be diminished by one half
in a generation."
l~rC Our readers are well aware that we have never
advertised patent medicines—but we now ptthlhffl an
advertisement of Ayer’s Pills, not because we are paid
for it alone, but because wg lamestly believe that Dr.
Ayer is one of the best Physicians and Chemists of the
age, ami because we know from experience that his
Cherry Pectoral is the best medicine for a Cough, that
was ever invented. We have been cured by it of a se
vere Bronchitis, and have given it to our family with
unfailing success for Colds, Coughs, Whooping Cough,
Croup, Ac. Our neighbors who have tried these Pills
represent them ns an extraordinary good medicine.

Marshal Pelissier.—The “getting up” of tho
new French embassy to London, it is said, will
exceed anything for brilliancy that has ever pre
ceded it in the history of of diplomace magnifi

in beauty aud cost that made for Marshal Soult at
the-coronation of Queen Victoria. T(ie new min

and after these several smaller sums for the vari
ous decorations he wears. Tbe total is about
580.000 francs a year, or $115,000. As he is a

The Weather and tbe C’reps.
There was quite a heavy frost in this place on
st Wednesday morning. Tender vegetation was
p, • ff. We ■ vi ' C lookingat some persimmon bushes
ou Thursday, upon which the leaves were black,
and dead. We have heard of some cotton being
injured, but do not think the crop was materially,
damaged. Fruit and wheat do not appear to bo
hurt. Tbe sugar cane in our garden is badly
scorched. The following extracts show the effect
of the late "snap” in other localities.
Frost and Ice in the South- West.—Mobile. April
27—Reports have been received from Mississippi,
Louisiana, aud from the northern part of Alabama
announcing injury to crops by frost and ice, and
the reports have somewhat advanced prices.
There was quite a frost visiblo in the city yes
terday morning. A gentleuiau who had a few
cotton plants, which had sprung from some waste
seed, found them withered by noon and to alt ap
pearance lifeless.—Sat. Jltpublicau, 29th.
Snoic.—We learn that there was quite a fall of
snow and sleet in Chester on Monday, and a heavy
frost on yesterday morning. We have no doubt
that it was general through the up country, and
has, we fear, done serious injury to the crops, lu
this place, there was a frost yesterday morning,
but it does not appear to have injured vegetation
as much as was at first apprehended. Wo noticed
that the tomato'plant was not injured. Its effects
on peaches is not yet perceptible.
South Carolinian April 23.
The Weather.—From the heavy rains it turned off
on Monday night clear and cold. A heavy frost
-was seen on the ground yesterday morning, and a
large quantity of vegetables in this community
was entirely destroyed. Great apprehensions are
felt as to the wheat crop.—Atlanta Intelligencer
April 23.
The Constitutionalist of the 29th ult, says the
frost of the 28th did but slight damage to tlie
growing crops iu that vicinity.
Frost.—For two or three mornings past, our
gardens and farms have pined under tlie deadly
fangs of this hoary-headed monster. His traces
are visible in every direction, and we awfully fear
that vegetation of all kinds have withered under
its influence to an extent that we little dream of,
and that is truly alarming. To what extent
wheat has suffered we are unable to say, but fear
badly—Cotton has we know—Corn not so badly.

Wednesday Evening, April 28, 185.-?. J
Editor Republican-. We have been visited with
frosts on the mornings of the 24th, 26th, 27th, and
28th instant, accompanied with some ice. The
frosts until this morning did not appear to do
much damage t.> the growing crops or the great
promise of fruit. But the trost tin's morning has
done great mischief, 1 have seen to-day in my
own plantation corn that was eight to ten inches
high killed to the ground, and plants of young
cotton entirely killed. The tine stands of cotton
that we had procured is very much, if not serious
ly injured. Our corn we can yet replant. The
iruit is falling off the trees, and will bo scarce, if
any is left to bless us with this luxury,
There are but 56 bales of cotton left in this re
gion. In haste, truly yours, L.
Another Killing Frost.—Another heavy Frost
fell in this section on Tuesday night last. On
Wednesday morning considerable ice was seen
and the ground iu some places was frozen to the
depth of a quarter of an inch. Nearly all the
fruit lias been destroyed—and gardens are in a
miserable condition. The wheat has certainly
been injured—to what extent we know not.—

Destruction of the Cotton Plant.—Information
from various portions of tlie State leaves but little
doubt of the general destruction of the cotton
plant and other tender vegetation by frost, on tho
nights of Monday and Tuesday. From John’s
Island wc learn there was not only frost, but ice
an eighth of an inch thick, visible yesterday morn
ing, and, the following letter from a perfectly re
liable source in St John’s Berkley, accompanied
by' some blackened cotton plants, tells the tale in
that quarter.—Mercury.
‘ St. John’s Berkley, April 28,1853.
“The register thermometer exposed in the open
air, notes 27 degrees this morning, aud tho ther-
raomenter protected in the piazza, at sun rise,
notes 31 degrees. There is, we think, a universal
good stand of cotton and corn throughout our
country, which, in the course of nature, must be
dead within two hours of sun.”
We have also received the following from Ross’s
Station, on the South Carolina Railrad. this side
of Branchville:
Ross's Station, S. C. R. R,, April 23.
“This morning will be long remembered, with
its heavy frost and ice, the thermometer indicating
31 degrees at daylight. The Cotton, Fruit, and
Wheat and Rye crops cut down, and it is too late
to replant Long Cotton. The season had advan
ced so far, that most planters had hauled out their
seed manure.
“A recent visit through West Florida, Lower
Georgia and South Carolina, showed the most for
ward crop I ever witnessed. Planters were get
ting over the first hoeing. The loss to tho crop
must be very heavy.”

The Struggle in the House on the Kansas Report-
Opposition from Southern Members—The Ques
tion of Postponement—Passage of the Deficiency
BUI.
The Kansas current was not destined to run
smooth. It has encountered another snag where
least expected. Resistance appears on the part of
sonic of the southern members, who have hitherto
supported the Senate Kansas bill, and the substi
tute bill does not find favor with many of the
Anti-Lecompton democrats or South Americans.
The struggle in the House at present is for and
against the proposition to postpone the report and
hill of the, conference committee till the second
Monday in May'. Some disposition for fiilibuster-
ing upou this question was manifested in the
House yesterday, but the two parties gave up the
contest and adjourned at an early hour. Ou Mon
day the question will be upon the adoption of the
motion for postponement as amended by Mr. Hill's
motion to postpone the subject till the second
Monday in May. The postponement will be al
most equivalent to a rejection of the substitute
bill. It will afford time forgathering and consoli
dating all the elements, old and new, of opposi
tion to the substitute.
It will depend upon the action of the House, on
Monday, whether any bill for the admission of
Kansas shall pass at this session. If nothing be
done at this session to settle this perplexing dis
pute, it will return upon Congress the next ses
sion in a more complicated and angry form than
ever. The admonitions of the committee of con
ference on this subject ought not to be disregarded
by the country, even if unheeded by’ Congress.
Tiie Senate will take up to the report and bill of
the Conference on Monday.
The deficiency bill has passed the Senate with
out any important amendment, except striking
out the third section which contained items for the
pay of reporters for the Congressional Globe, and
extra allowance for the clerks of the two Houses.
These items, it was contended, did not properly
belong to tiiis bill, and they may be put in tho
ordinary hill. Ion.
An Astonishing man. l amed Troughout tbe
World.
New York and London are now the the great
manufacturing depots for Holloway's I’ills and
Ointment. From No. 80 Maiden Lane, the city,
and No. 214 Stand. London, are sent forth,
daily, millions of boxes and of these inestimable
medicines. The heavy duty imposed by our gov
ernment unoii medicines, aud the large aud con
stantly increasing sale of Holloway’s Fills and
Ointment in this country, determined tlieir pro
prietor to make this city his residence. Our re
publican system of govern ment is also in harmony
with the predilections of Professor Holloway; and
though Kings and Emperors have conferred upou
him honors and especially favors, these will never
be so gratifying to him as the grateful hearts of
millions of free citizens, who without any en
dorsement of sovereign authority, freely patronize
his celebrated remedies for the prevention aud re
moval of disease.
As a member of the medical faculty, having
long witnessed the inefficiency of the profession in
curing disease, and being fajnilliar with tne errors
and tollies of the profession, we feel it an impera
tive duty to acquaint the American public, with
the arrival of this distinguished physician in our
city. His fame, in a measure, preceded him to our
shores, but the extent of the gjod be has done ill
the world has never yet been proclaimed to an
American public. Great as liis reputation is, is it
destined to increase far beyond that which ever
adorned tlie character of any w hose profession was
that of healing the sick.
AVe shall embrace every occasion to explain to
the American people the system, the theory and
mode of cure adopted by Professor Holloway.—
His Pills and Ointment, the one taken internally,
and the other applied externally, act in harmoni
ous conjunction, aud if his directions are followed
will eradicate every disease incident to man in all
climes They purify and cleanse the body, and
restore healthy action iu every organ. Our space
will not permit us to say more st this time respect
ing this distinguished man and his celebrated rem
edies. He has one ambition, and it is an honora
ble one. He wishes to have the world fer a pa
tient; and ire will succeed iu his desire.
It is our object to address the American public
in a series of articles, showing conclusively that,
in the whole history of medical science, no medi
cines have ever been offered for their use which
are so efficacious in restoring health and prevent
ing disease as those of Professor Holloway. In
this series of articles we shall necessarily explain
much of the human system, and these physiologi
cal laws of life controlling our bodies, both in
health and disease. The American public are suf
ficiently intelligent to judge of their interests, and
selves regular physicians to conceal from them
important truths concerning their health!

A Perfect Cure by Wild Cherry.
From the Editor of the New York Mirror, Aug 9.
About four weeks since, one of the compositors of
this office was suffering ho baldly from a eougii that he
was unable to sleep nights, and too weak to stand at Ins
case. He became very pale and thin; and gave symp
toms of falling a ^ictim of quick consumption. We
ecommended to him various medicines, which had no
•fleet. Finally, we gave him one bottle ofWistar*
Balsam of Wild Cherry. It afforded hint immediate
relief, and lie is now a well man, and not the slighest
symptom of a cough. These are facts, and further
particulars may be learned at this office. We should
add that the cough in the above ease was accompanied
by profuse spitting of blood.
None genuine unless signed I. BUTTS on the
wrapper. For sale by E. J. White, Milledge
ville.
It is folly to suffer from a protracted cough when re
lief may be so easily obtained. A Vis tar’s Balsam of
Wild Cherry is undoubtedly the most reliable of all
preparat ions offt red for tlie cure of throat and lung com
plaints.
Holloway's Pills.—In all eases of weak stomach,
which are usually attended with want of appetite,
nausea, griping, disturbed sleep, and a general prostra
tion of the bodily powers, tluse Bills will be h ut-d a
swift and certain remedy. Among the most common
indications of a diseased stomach, are a sense of tu-
ness after eating, a dry yellow tongue, flatulence in *■'-
abdomen, a repulsive taste in the mouth, heaviness
all tiie limbs, giddiness, pain in the eyes, want ot ener
gy, aversion to mental exercise, and irregularity ot t»
tIre bowels. These symptoms disappear after a te
doses of the pills have been administered; the 9toma< n,
liver, and bowels, resume the the tegular and vtgorou
performance of their functions, the patient s streng
returns, and in a short time the cure is complete.
