Celebrated Liver Medicine.
It is purely vegetable, and will act upon the
Liver and. Kidneys as promptly as Calomel and
Bnchu, without any danger of salivation or de
struction of the bones.
Parties taking the medicine need not fearget
ting wet, or any other reasonable exposure.
Symptoms of Liver Disease:
11 eadachc. Dull Feel ing or tlie Bl ues. Sour S tom -
acli, sick or Nervous Headache, Heartburn, In
digestion or Dyspepsia, Bad or Bitter Taste in
the Mouth, the skin has a thick, rough feeling,
and is darker than usual. Costiveness, Melan
choly Feelings, Cramps,-Cold Feet, Colic, Dys
entery, or Diarrhtca, Chills and Fever, and
Piles. In fact, where the Liver is out of order,
you are liable to every disease that is not conta
gious.
Propliitt’s Liver Medicine, if taken properly,
will prevent and cure any disease resulting from
a deranged liver.
It will regulate its functions and thus cure all
diseases caused by the failure of its healthy ac
tion.
It has been used for a great number of years,
and lias given universal satisfaction.
There is no brother or son claiming to have
the origional recipe. It is put up in both Pow
der and Fluid form.

fering the greatest agony imaginable with Rheu
matism, lor live months, and after trving every
available remedy, with no relief, I was cured
with two bottles of Dr. O. S. Prophitt’s Anodyne
I’.-mi Kill It; each costing fifty cents onlv. It
relieved me almost instantly. 1 therefore re
commend it in the highest degree to others suf
fering from similar disease. I can say that it is
one of the finest Family Medicines nowout, cer

CONSI MPTION,
Its (Hit Km
BY J. H. SCHENCK, M. D.
MANY a human being has pi*>ed awav
for whose death there was m» other. r»>a*on
than the neglect ot known and indi-i ulutdv
proven means of cure. Those near and dear to
family and friends are sleeping the dreamle-s
slumlK-r into which, had they ealmlv adopte<l
DR. JOSEI'H H. SCHENCK’S SIMPLE
TREATMENT.
and availed themselves of his wonderful ertica
cious medicines, tliev would not have fallen
Dr. Scliem k ha-in Ids own ca-e provisl that
wherever sufficient viteli.y remains, that vital
ity, by his medicines and liis directions for
their use, is quickened into healthful vigor
In this statement there is nothing presnmii
tuous. To the faith of the invalid is niade no
representation that is not a thousand times
substantiated by living and visible w orks The
theory of the cure by Dr. Schcnck’s medicines
i< ns simple as it i- 111 tailing. r ts phiiosophv
requires no argument. It is self-assurin'- self
convincing. e "
The Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are
the first two weapon-.with which the citadel
of the malady is assailed. Two-thirds of tlie
cases of consumption originate in dvsimnsin
and a fmnctioiuilly disordered livei. AVitli this
condition the broncliial tubes “sympathize”
w ith the stomach. Thev respond to the morbific
action of the liver. Here then comes the cni
lninating result, and the setting in, with all its
distressing symptoms of
CONSUMPTION.
Tlie Mandrake Pills are esnipnsed of one of
Nature's noblest gifts—the Podophillum Pelta
turn. 1 hey possess all the
alterative properties of calomel.
But unlike calomel, they
“LEAVE NO STINO BEHIND,”
The work of cure i- now* lteginning The
vitiated and mucous dejmsits in the l*owet- and
in the alimentary canal are ejected. The liver,
like a clocK. is wound up.> Ft arouses from its
torjddity. I'he stomach act- responsively, and
the patient begins to feel that ho is getting at
last, 0 *”
A SUPPLY OF GOOD BLOOD.
The Seaweed Tonic, in conjunction with the
PiUs. permeates and as-imitates with the food.
h\ 1 1 tlcation is now progressing without its
previous tortures. Digestion becomes iiainle-s
and the cure is seen to be at band. There is no
more flatulence, no exacerbation of tlie stomach
An appetite set- in.
Now come- the greatest Blood Purifier ever
yet given by an indulgent father to sufferin'-
man. Kclicnek’s Pulmonic Syrup conies in to
perform its luucfions and to hasten and com
plete tlie cure. It enters at once upon it- work.
Nature cannot be cheated. It collect- ami
ripens the impaired portions ofthe lungs. t„
the form ot gatherings, it prepares them for
expectoration, and lo ! in a very short time the
malady is vanquished, the rotten throne that
it occupied is renovated and made new, and the
patient, in all the dignity of regained vigor,
steps torth to enjoy tlie manhood or the woman
hood that was
GIVEN UP AS LOST.
The second thing is, the patients must sfav in
a warm room until they get well; it is almost
impossible to prevent taking cold when the
lungs are diseased, but it must he prevented or
a cure cannot be effected. Fresh air and riding
out. especially in this section of the cenntrv in
the winter season, are all wrong. Physicians
who recommend that course lose patients if
their lungs are badly diseased, and yet because
they are in the house they must not sit down
quiet, ; they must walk about the room as much
and as fast as the strength will hear, to get up a
good circulation of blood. The patients must
keep in good spirits—be determined to get well.
This has a great deal to do w ith tlie appetite,
and is the great imint to gain.
lo despair of cure after such evidence of its
possibility in the worst cases, and moral cer
tainty in all others, is sinful. Dr. Schenck’s
personal statement to the Faculty of his own
cure was in these modest words :
Matty years ago I was in the last stages of
consumption ; confined to mv bed. and at one
time my physicians thought that I could not
live a week; then, like a drowning man catch
ing at straws, I beard of and obtained the pre
parations which J now offer to the public, ami
they made a perfect cure of me. It seemed to
me that I could feel them penetrate my whole
system. They soon ripened the matter In mv
lungs, and I would spit up more than a pint of
offensive yellow matter every morning for a
long time.
As soon as that began to subside mv cough,
level, pain and night sweats all began to leave
me, and my appetite became so great that it
was with difficulty that I could keep from
eating too much. I soon gained mv strength,
and have grown in flesh ever since.”
*‘f was weighed shortly after my recovery,”
a<me<l tiu*. I)ch*tor, u thcn looking like it mere
skeleton; mv wcicrfit whs only wincty-seven
pounds ; my present weight is two hundred and
twenty-live pounds, and for rears I have
“ENJOYED GOOD HEALTH.”
Dr. Sehenck has discontinued his professional
visit to New York and Boston. He or his son.

with the Kespiromcter will he charged five
dollars. The Rcspiromcter declares the exact
condition of the lungs, and patients can readilv
learn whether thev are curable or not.
Tim directions for taking the medicine are
adapted to the intelligence even of a child
Follow those di recto ns, and kind nature will do
the rest, excepting that in some cases the Man
drake Pills are to be taken in increased doses ;
the three medicines need no other accompani
ments than the ample instructions that do
accompany them. First create appetite. Os
returning health hunger is the most, welcome
symptom. When it comes, as it will come, let
the despairing he of good cheer. Good blood at
once follows, the cough loosens, the night sweat
is abated. In a short time, both of these morbid
symptoms are gone forever.
Dr. Scbenck’s medicines are constantly kept
in tens of thousands of families. Asa laxative,
or purgative, the Mandrake Pills are a standard
preparation; while the Pulmonic Svrup, as a
curer of conghs and colds, may be regarded as a
prophylaeterie against consumption in any of
its forms. •

“As Ve Hitl It t’lito He.”
Sinner, careless, |>rou«l and cold,
Straying from tlio sheltering fold,
Hast thou thought how fatichtly
The Good Shepherd follows thee ;
Still with tireless, toiliing feet.
Through the tempest and tlie heat—
Thought upon that yearning breast,
Where He fain would have thee rest,
And of aH its tender pain,
While He seeks for thee in vain?
Dost thou know what He must feel,
Making vainly His appeal,
V\ hen He knocketh at thy door
Present entrance to implore,
Saying, “Open unto me,
I will come and sup with thee ” —
Forced to turn away at last
From the portal shut and fast !
Wdt thou, careless, slumber on,
Even till thy Lord has gone.
Heedless of His high behest,
Ilis desire to be thy guest?
Sinner, sinner, dost thou know
What it is to slight Him so ?
Sitting careless by the sea
While He callcth, ''Follow Me" —
Sleeping, thoughtless, uuuwaie
Os Ilis agonizing prayer,
While thy sins His soul o’erpower
And thou eangt not watch one hour?
O -r intiriiiitics lie bore,
And our mortal form He wore;
V ea, our Lord was made to be
Here in all things like as we;
And that pardon we might win,
He, the sihl.as, bore our sin!
Sinner, though He comes no more
Faint and fasting at thy door,
His di.«ctples here instead
Thou cnnst give the cup and bread.
If His lambs thou dost not feed,
He it is that feels their need ;
lie that sutlers their distress,
Hanger, thirst aud weariness;
He that, loving them, again
Bearefh all their bitter pain!
Canst thou then so reckless prove,
Canst thou, darest thou slight Ilis love.
Do not sinner, for thy sake
Make jjjm stjll t.he cross to take
And ascend again for thee
Dark tud dreadful Calvary !
Do not set tlie crown of pain
On that sacred head again ;
Open all afresh and wide
Closed wounds in hands and side.
Do not, do not scorn His name,
Putting Him to open shame!
Why Some are Poor.
Cream is allowed to mold and spoil.
Silver spoons are used to scrape
kettles.
The scrubbing brush is left iu the
water.
Bones are buried that will make
soap.
Nice handle knives are thrown into
hot water.
Brooms are never hung, and are
spoiled.
Dish cloths are thrown Avhere mice
can destroy them.
Tubs and barrels are left in the sun
to dx-y and fall apart.
Clothes are left on the line to whip
to pieces in the wind.
Pie crust is left to sour instead of
making a few tarts for supper.
Vegetables are thrown away that
would do to warm over for breakfast.
Dried fruit is not taken care of in
season aud becomes wormy.
Bits of meat are thrown out tha 1
would make hashed meat or hash.
The cork is left out of the molasses
and the flics take possession.
Pork spoils for the w\ant of salt, and
beef because the brain wants scalding.
Coffee, tea, pepper and spice are left
to stand open and loose their strength.
The flour is sifted in a wasteful man
ner. aud the bread pan left with dough
sticking to it.
Vinegar is drawn in a tin basin, and
allowed to stai.d till both basin and
vinegar are spoiled.
Cold puddings are considered good
for nothing when they can be steamed
for the next day.
m- “It is a striking fact that the
dying never weep. The sobbing, the
heart breaking agony of the circle of
friends around the* death-bed, call
forth no rtsi omfive tears from the dy
ing. Is it because he is insensible, and
stiff in the chill of dissolution ? That
cannot be, for he asks for his father’s
hand, as if to gain strength iu the mor
tal struggle, and on the breast of his
mother, sister or brother, in still con
seious affection. Just before expir
nig, he calls the loved ones, and with
quivering lips suv’s, 'Kiss me,’ showing
that the love which he has ever born
in his heart is still fresh and warm.—
It must be because the dying have
reached a point too d*ep for earthly
sorrows, too transoendant for weeping.
I hey are face to face with higher ami
holier, things, with the FAther m Heav
en and His angels. There is no weep
ing iu that blesed abode to which he is
hasteuiqg.”

Columbia, S. 0., March 18.
“If you want a thorough posting up
on political affairs in South Carolina,
you must call on the Rollins,” said u
gentleman with whom I was conversing
the other day.
“The Rollins! who are they ?” I in
quired. “Ob, they know everything
about the political tuacliiue here, and
they me the leaders of the colored ton,
you must kuow,” said the gentleman.
“Society here, since the advent of the
new refine, has been completely reor
ganized. As in New York, so here,
money ixereises a most potent infill
ence in fixing the status of the people
socially, and the money just now is iu
the hands of carpet-baggers and their
colored brethren.”
THE ROLLIX FAMILY.
“But w ho are the Rollins?” I inquir
ed.
“They m e i he elite of our colored so-,
ciety. There are three of them un-'
marri and, and they it side near the State
House. '1 heir names are Catharine
de Mtdicis, Charlotte Corday, and
Louisa Muhhlbuch—very aristocratic
names, are tLey not? Tue young la
dies were t ducated in Boston, and they
Lia\e imb.lxd many New England no
tions, not the least of which is the idea
that white men were created for the
sole purpose of aiding and supporting
the blacks. Their house is a kind of a,
Republican headquarters. They en
tertain very handsomely, and they are,
as I said before, leaders of the ton here
—that is, among a certain class. The
government meets at the Rolliu house
almost nightly, and in the parlors of
that mansion much of the wisdom
w hich controls our affairs is generated.
General Wliipper is a brother-in-law,
and as he is the old Tnad Stephens of
the lower Mouse, the Legislature flocks
there to nnet him.”
REMARKABLE COLORED LADIES.
“Are these young ladies highly col
ored ?” I inquired.
“Well, no, not black exactly, but a
most beautiful chocolate. They are
very bright, however, and, aside from
certain little faults of a persotud na
ture, w hich you will Dot fail to detect,
you will find them entertaining. They
can tell you all the infamy you can pos
sibly wish to know with regard to this
Legislature. Ihey know it all. These
people use to talk all their secrets be
fore the young ladies, and now that
the colored element is at swords’ point
with the carpet-baggers, the ladies
i don’t hesitate to tell all they kuow,
and I can assure you some of their re
marks are very rich. You see the
spoils haven’t been fairly divided, and
your intelligent black man begins to
see that he is only being made a cats
pavv. He naturally rebels, and trouble
is the result. Then there are little
things constantly occurring to mar the
social harmony of the leading people
of both complexions. There are some
white officeholders here who, while
they were perfectly willing to meet
Pompey Augustus at the State House
on terms of social equality, were not
willing to invite Mrs. Pompey Augus
tus to their residence to meet their
wives and daughters. It is true that
Mr. and Mrs. Pompey held the bul
lauce of power and finally forced them
into it, but then the fact that it was
done with an ill grace was apparent.—
The principal cause of discordance be
tween the two races, however, is the
unwillingness on the part of the whites
to make a fair and equitable division
of the loaves and fishes- Bat the Mis
ses Rolliu can tell you more about these
things than I cun.”
“I will certainly call upon the Misses
Rolliu,” I said, “but who will introduce
me?”
“I will do it myself,” the gentleman
said, “I am not afraid of loosing.caste;
besides I like to hear them talk.”
THE RESIDENCE OF THE ROLLINS.
Accordingly, when evening arrived
we set out to call upon these secret
springs of the government of South
Carolina. Passing through the Suite
H. use grounds, we branched off into a
side street and soon arrived at the
Rolliu mansion. It is a large double
house, snugly embowered in shrubb ry,
aud has an air of great thrift. As we
entered the gate, I lemurkaiL to my
companion -
“These Rollins must be wealthy.”
“I don’t know how that ihe re
plied; “they came hear very poor, but
they all have their hands in the State
Treasury. The young ladies are en
grossing clerks; General Whipper,
their brother-in-law, is in the lower
House, and Mclntyre, to whom anoth
er of the gills' is engaged, is a white
senator from Barnwell. You will see
them nearly every day on ihe streets 1
driving in splendid style. They own
a beautiful carriage and horses.” And
so saying, he pulled a silver-plated b«_ 11
handle of nmbt eiuwrsfioussize and elab
orate design.
The pull brought ta the door u small
Africau. He bore in his hand a silver
tray that nearly touched the floor as
he earned it.
“Are the young ladies at home?” said
my companion.

heard him called, departed for the in

INTERIOR OF THE ROLLINS MANSION.
! Uuhke the parlors of the intelligent
white people here, and who have not
; their fingers in the public purse, was
the room into which w • were ushered.
1 1 have been invited to the houses of
1 those in Columbia who foi morly rated
' among the wealthiest in the land, and
who were then surrounded by every
luxury that money could afford. Now,
however, their circumstances are i ad y
changed. Bare walls and Imre tl >ers
greet the visitors eye, and the plain
est of furniture ettbstfftntfsrthe only
household comfort. Not so, however,
the Rollin mansion. Beautiful car
pets, elegant furniture, tasteful pict
ures, a SIOOO piano, aud other eviden
ces of wealth and prosperity met our
gaze as we entered the parlor. Pho
tograph albums tilled with the choicest
Rembrandts lay in profusion on an
Italiau marble table, and legislative
documents, bound iu rich morocco,
gave evidence of the tastes and incli
nations of their fair possessors. While
admiring all this luxury, a pleasing al
though somewhat affected voice was
heard at the door:
‘Good evening, gen-t 1-e-in-e-n !’
My friend turned instantly.
‘Ah ! Miss Kate; good evening.—
Permit me to present my friend, Mr.
P , < f the New York Sun.’
•Miss Catharine tie Medicis made a
most impressive sweep of her train,
and courtesied in a very elegant man
ner. Recognizing the important eof
the occasion, I in de my very best
bow.
“I am delighted to meet Miss Rol
lin.”
Before this ceremony was finished*
Misses Charlotte Corday and Louisa
Muhhlbach entered the room, to each
of whom I was presented.
THE QUEENS OF SOUTH CAROLINA SOCIETY. .
The eklest of the young ladies is a*
bright mulatto of about 2b. like is
tall, somewhat spaae, and affable and
agreeably m her manner. She was
dressed in a black siik dress with a
sweeping train, which followed her in
to the room like a w ave oi> tire bench.
She talks very intelligently, although
so rapidly as to be sometimes nearly
unintelligible. This difficulty is some
what increased also by a peculiar mode
of pronouncing the letter “e” with a
.sound almost like ‘i’,,and by a South
ern prolongation* off the last word of
every senteuee.
Miss Charlotte© Corday is a darker
young lady, but it is said is the most
intellect uml o£ the three. She is not so
tall as her sister, and is more compact
ly formed. She is a good deal hand
somer, too. Miss Lottie, as she is
called, was attired.in a man re-colored
silk, trimad with heavy point applique
on body and skirt. An orange-color
ed sash, with heavy bow, adorned her
waist, and blue slippers ei.cased her
feet. Jewelry in great profusion was
worn by all three.
The youngest one,[Miss Loni-a Muhl
bach, is almost white. Site, too, was
handsomely attired in a short walking
suit of black silk. She is quite young,
and therefore did not take part iu the
conversation, although she was an at
tentive listener, aud nodded assent to
everything her elder sisters said.
OPENING THE CONVERSATION.
“We are pleased to see a represen
tative of the Bun in South Carolina,’
said Catharine de Mcdieis, as sLe drew
her chair near to me. ‘There is so
much going on here :u the political
world that must be of interest to the
Northern people. Besides,, the great
uplieval in the social existence of the
people of South Carolina will present
many features to your mind, sir, that
are quite new, and may seem almost
I i-m-p-r-o-b-a-ole.’
Ihe force of this self-evident propo
sition I didn t propose to dispute, so I
quietly remai ked, ‘Oh, yes, I have seen
them already, and am disposed to re
gard them as facts.’
‘I don t know,’ said Miss Lottie,
‘whether we have much to thank the
North for, except the mere emancipa
tion proclamation,and its eu-f-o-r-c-e
--: m-e-n-t. Some of the worst characters
j you have at the North have came down
j here and brought great contempt up
j on the colored people by their outra
ge ms conduct and by their ambition
aud selfishness. We have.

--d-r-e-l-s. I have no patience with Gen
eral Whipper for noticiug some of

“I am glad,’ I finally said, ‘that the
intelligent colored people are bigiuniug
to see the evils of this abnormal, dis
houe'it system of government.’
“Ob, yes,’Miss Kate answered. ‘We
can assure you that we who represen t
the greater portion of all that is now
good for anything in South Carolina
—and (with a magnificent toss of the
head) that is the colored population—
are determined to exert every effort on
behalf of equal rights to our race.—
