tt-nv the ttOMCi’H UONB OUT OF
YOUR I.IFE.
'When the Bong’s gone out of your life,
Th*t you thought would leet to the ena
Thet first sweet song of the heart,
That no after daye can lend—
The song of the bird to the trees,
The song of the wind to the flowers,
The song that the heart sings low to itaelf,
When it wakes in life’s morning hours.
“Tou can start no other song,"
Mot even a tremulous note
Will falter forth on the empty air;
It dies in your aching throat,
It is all in Tam that you try,
For the spirit of song has flsd—
The nightingale sings no more to the rose
When the beautiful flower is dead.
Bo let silence softly fall
On the bruised heart's quivering strings;
Perhaps from the loss of all you may learn
The song that the seraph sings;
A grand and glorious psalm,
That will tremble, and rise, and thrill,
And fill your breast with its grateful rest,
And its lonely yearnings stilL
MITE’S ARGUMENT.
O heart be glad! In sunshine's graoe
I met my lover face to face ;
We but “changed eyes" and by that sign
My heart was his, and hie was mine.
Dreaming, I waited till he spoke,
Then unto life and love awoke ;
I had no doubts, I had no fears—
That moment was the sum ol years.
“Ah, no! it is not so." I say:
“True love it groweth day by day,
Is warmed by smiles and wet by tears,
Girdled with changing hopes and fears.
“At flrst tis but a childish joy,
The smiling of a girl and boy,
And must both time and sorrow know .
Before it to full stature grow.’’
Bo wise, sweet friend, and yet you fail;
You have not diet n within the veil,
Or you had seen with open eyes
This mighty, godlike love arise.
Mo foolish boy with roving wiDgs,
That honeyed darts at random flings ;
For passion, pride and wealth a tool,
Put out to nurse, and sent to school:
But a divinity that speaks,
“Awake, sweetheart!’’ and straightway breaks
A lordlier light than sunshine's glow,
A sweeter life than mortals know.
I bow me to his fond command,
Take life's great glory from bis hand ;
Crowned in one moment’s sweet
When I aud—somebody—"changed eyes.
“WOMAN’S ANSWER.”
Do you know you have asked for the costliest
thing
Ever made by tho hand above ?
A woman’s heart and a woman s life
And a woman’s wonderful love ?
Do you know you have asked for this wonder
ful thing,
Asa child might ask for a toy ?
Demanding what others have died to win,
With the reckless dash of a boy.
You have written my lesson of duty out—
Man-like you have questioned me;
Mow stand at the bar of my woman's soul
Until 1 shall question thee.
You require your mutton shall be always hot;
Your socks and your shirt be whole;
I require your heart to be true as God’s own,
And as pure as Heaven your soul.
You require a cook for your mutton and beef,
I require a far greater thing;
A seamstress you’re wanting for socks and for
shirt,
I look tor a man and a king.
A king for the beautiful realm oalled home,
And a man that the Maker God
Shall look upon as he did the flrst,
And say, "It is very good.”
I am fair and young, but the lose will fade
From my soft young cheek one day—
Will you love me then, 'mid the falling leaves,
As you did ’mid the blooms of May ?
Is vour heart an ocean so strong and deep
I may launch my all on its tide?
A loving woman finds heaven or hell
On the day she becomes a bride.
I require all things that are grand and true,
All things that a man should be;
If you give this all, I would stake my life,
To be all you demand of me.
If you cannot be this —a laundress and cook
You can biro, and a little to pay;
But a woman's heart and a woman’s life
Are not to be won in that way.
A TRIBUTE OF FRIENDSHIP.
In Memory of Miss Carrie Itoualgael.
Affection's ties kre broken,
Love's tears are all in vain,
Her last farewell is spoken,
She comotli not again;
The bell has tolled its message,
The sad funeral knell;
Thank Ood, to soothe our sorrow,
We feel that ail is well.
So well beloved and lovely.
Her place we ne’er can fill;
To know her chair is vacant
Doth wake an anguished thrill;
The mother, aged and feeble,
Of whom she was her stay;
The comfort, joy and blessing,
Will miss her child for aye.
Like soft Eolian harp tones
Her voice was sweet and low;
To brighten hours of gladness,
To soothe the heart in woe,
Her influence like the fragrance
Of violets taint and sweet,
Fell like a heavenly blessing
On all she chaucjd te meet.
Like two fair roses growing
On oue fol and parent stem;
Or like twin jewels sparkling
In one bright diadem;
Bhn and her gentle sister,
With whom her life was passed,
Bhared home’s deligh’s together
Too pure, alas ! to last.
Joy smiled on both in common,
As if tbev had oue heart;
Sorrow each fair brow shaded
Ah I Heaven how hard to part;
When tvro are linked together
In Love’s bright golden ohaias.
To have one miss the other
And call her all in vain.
Alas '. for us if earth life,
If its brief hours were all;
If fa th told not of brightness
Beaond thefuneral pall,
If o'er Death's gloomy valley
Mo light from Heaven were shed;
If hope breatned not “reunion,”
• While bending o'er the dead.
Thy mortal part, m’ dear one,
We gently lay to rest;
Hope whispering triumphant
That thou ait with the blessed.
Bweet flowers we kindly scatter
Thy quiet grave above,
But oh ! thy sinless spirit
Is with a God of Love.

Augusta, November 15th, 1876.
LADY BYRON’S REPLY’ TO LORD BY'
RON’S FAREWELL.
Yes, farewell, f -rewell forever,
Thou thyself has fixed our doom,
Bade l ope’s fairest flowers wither
Never again for me to bloom.
Unforgiving thou hast called me ;
Didst thou ever say forgive ?
For the wretch whosb wiles beguiled thee.
Thou alone didst seem to live.
Short the space which time has given
To complete thy love's decay ;
By unhallowed passim s driven,
Boon thv heart mts taught to stray.
Lived forme that feeling tender
Which thy verse so well ean show.
From my aro e why didst thou wander i
My endearments could forego ?
Oh. too late, thy breast was bared,
Oh. too soon to me 'twas shown
That thy love I once but shared,
And already it is flown.
Wrapt in dreams of joy abiding,
On thy bi east my head hath lain ;
In thy love and truth oonfiding.
Bliss* I ne’er shall know again.
That dark hour didst first discover
In thy soul the hideous stain,
Would these eyas had cloeed forever
Never to weep thy crimes again!
Dot the impious wish. Oh. Heaven !
From the record blotted be ;
Yes. I vet would live. O, Byron,
For the babe I've borne for time
Xu whose lofty features oet me
All my weAnes# here confess,
Whilst the struggling tears permit me)
All the father’s I can trace.
He whose image never leaves ms,
He whose image still I prise.
Who this bitterest ft efiug gives me,
Still to love where I despise.
With regret and sorrow rather.
When onr child's first accents flow,
I will teach her to say "Father,"
But his guilt she ne'er shall know.
Whilst to-morrow and to-morrow
Wake me from a widowed bed.
On another’s arm. no sorrow
Wilt thou feel—no tear wilt shed.
I the world’s approval sought not
When I tore myself from thee ;
Of its praise or blame I thought not,
What its praise or blame to me ?
He so prized, so loved, so adored.
From my heart his i cage drove,
On mv head contempt has poured,
And preferred a wanton’s love.
Thou art proud, but mark me. Byron,
Fre a heart proud as tbine own ;
Soft to love, but cold as iron
When contempt is o’er it thrown.
But, farewell, I I not upbraid thee ;
Never, never wish thee ill.
Wretched though my crimes have made ms.
If thou can'at, be happy still,
Antiquity of a Man.
A correspondent writes to the London
limes: 4, Mr. Sydney R. T. Skertchly,
of her Majesty’s Geological Sorvay, who
is stationed at Brandon, Suffolk, has re
cently discovered some flint implements
in that neighborhood, in beds formed
before the close of the glacial period.
One was picked out of the beds in a pit
at Culford, Suffolk, and two others'
were dog out of like beds in a pit at
Botany Bav, on the Norfolk side of
Brandon. It was not till Mr Skertchly
himself found another implement at
Onlford, and saw the boulder-clay above
the bed from which he extracted it, that
the importance of the discovery dawned
upon him. Alongside the Cnlford im
plement he fonnd a deposit of broken
ami scraped mammalian bones and some
water shells. These bones were all in a
circumscribed area."

[.Special liispalch to the A’etss and Courier )
Columbia. November 18, 12, m.—Con
siderable excitement was caused here
this morning by what purpoted to be an
authoritative statement that the Repub
lican candidates for electors had been
elected by majorities ranging from 600
to 250. This report was telegraphed to
every part of the Union, and was evi
dently a foreshadowing oJ the result of
the tabulation of the statement of the
county canvassers by the State Board.
This tabulation, as declared by the
Board, gives the following results :
Democrats Republicans.
Irwin 90,906 Winsmith 91,870
Wallace .. .90,906 Johnson 91,852
Barker 90,896 Myers 91,830
Harrington.9o,B93 Nash 91,804
Aldrich 90,860 Bowen 91,786
Ingram 1-0,798 Cook 91,432

Highest Democratic vote 90,906
Lowest Republican vote 91,136
Republican majority 230
Average Democratic vote.., 90,856
Average Republican vote 91,672
Average Republican majority. 816
Upon this result being declared the
following protest and exception was filed
by General Conner :
“The counsel for the Democratic candi
dates except to the aggregation of the
results and the announcement of them,
on the ground that the canvass and com
parison of the managers’ returns with
the county canvassers’ statements show
irregularities, errors and omissions,
which vitiate the result, and prevent the
aggregation of the county canvassers’
statements from being regarded as a
true aggregation of the vo e cast at the
election. James Conner,
Counsel.”
Senator Gordon has just made the
following statement to your correspond
ent ; I give it in his words :
“ The statements as tabulated by the
Board this morning are only the state
ments'of the connty canvassers, and dif
fer by thousands of votes from the re
turns of the managers of the election at
the preoincts who oounted the votes.
Counting the votes as given by the
managers of the election gives the State
to Tilden by a larger majority than the
doctored returns of the county canvass
ers give to Hayes.”
The Supreme Court will be asked to
instruct the State Board that it cannot
take advantage of the wilful perversion
of the returns, or the clerioal mistakes
of the county canvassers.
The Democrats were aware of the re
sult from the statements of the county
canvassers, but these blunders of the
county canvassers will of course have to
be corrected by comparison with the
precinct managers’ returns, whioh will
•entirely change the result. The Board
has taken a reces3 to half-past three.
The Aggregation ol the Tote for .State Officers
and the Reealt.
The Board of Canvassers have finished
the tabulation of the vote for State offi

This tabulation elects only General
Hagood as Comptroller and Captain

but to the several votes the folowing
additions for erroneous votes are ex
pected to be made:

A Demand tor a Copy of tho Precinct Returns
—The Refusal—Suspicious Action ol the
Board.
As soon as the State Board bad an
nounced the figures for the candidates
on the State ticket, General Gordon sub
mitted the following petition:
7b the Hon. Board of State Canvass
ers :
I respectfully request, in the interest
of fairness, that clerks appointed by
the Board and the Democratic attor
neys respectively be permitted to take
dopies of the returns as certified by the
precinct managers. I make this re
quest, both in order to insure satisfac
tion, and in view of the faot that these
returns may become an important fac
tor in ascertaining the result of the elec
tion. J. B. Gordon.
He then stated that he regarded the
request as most reasonable, inasmuch as
all the evidence furnished by the mana
gers of the precinots was exclusively in
possession of one politioal party; that
•hese certificates of the actual vote poll
ed, as returned by the preoinot mana
gers, had already been shown to differ
widely from the returns forwarded by
the eounty canvassers; that he did not
ask for the possession of these returns,
but had asked that they be copied in
the presenoe of the Board or its clerk or
some of its members; that no wrong could
result, and that it famished, a security
to which every citizen of this State
aud of the United States was clearly en
titled.
The Board in reply declined to accede
immediately- to the request, but said
that an answer would be given on Mon-
Gordon replied that what he
wished to earnire was the integrity of
the returns in the interval between this
and Monday, The Board, however,
postponed answering until Mouy. Sena
tor Gordon maintains that in the seven
or eight counties in which the Board bad
examined the true returns made by
those who oounted the votes, the reealt
was entirely reversed. When the Board
began yesterday to tabulate the returns
for electors, the Chairman‘announced
that the returns made by the precinct
managers would be ooaapand with the
canvassers' returns. Hus was done for
five or six counties ; but when the dis
crepancies appeared,the B ard decided
not to make known the managers’ re
turns any further. This action of the
Board led to the request made by Sena
tor Gordon.
Hull*! mad Simp.e. BetM.
From an official count made np by the
Democrats from papers which tally with
those of the State Board in every par
ticular, so far as these have been made
public, the vote for Governor and Lieu
tenant-Governor (which the Board did
not canvass) is as follows :
Hampton, Dem 92,261
Chamberlain, Rep 91,127
Hampton's majority 1,1&4
Simpson, Dem .91,689
Gleaves, Bep 91,550
Simpson’s majority 199
The Democrats are confident that this
is oorrfect. The other side will give uo
estimates, and Hayne, Chairman of the
State Board, says they have made none.
A Plain ftommory Of Ihe Bltnntlnn—What
Depend* m- the Declelnn of the Supreme
Conn—An Error In Beamlort Nnmetent to
Elect the Whole DenoeroAle Ticket.
The vote for the Electors and State
officers, as telegraphed yon last night,
was correct as derived from the minutes
of the State Board. The votes whioh I
telegraphed as corrections have not
been added to the regular vote. It re
mains for the Supreme Court to decide
whether they shall be. Leaving ont
these irregular votes, Hayne (Rep.) for
Secretary of State, Elliott (Rep.) for At
torney-General, Cardozo (Rep.) for
Treasurer, Hagood (Dem.) for Comp
troller, Thompson (Dem.) Superintend
ent of Edncation, are elected. If the
votes should be allowed, Hayne (Rep.),
Connor (Dem.), for Attorney-General,
Cardozo (Rep.).Hagood (Dem/), Tolbert
(Rep.), for Superintendent of Education,
and Kennedy (Rep.), are elected.
Besides the above mentioned irregu
larities, however, another is reported,
being an illegal precinct in Beaufort
county. The law requires that one poll
in that county shall be held in Gardner’s
Corner, where it has always been held
hitherto. It was not held there on this
occasion, bat at the Sheldon Place, said
to be three or six miles distant. Five
hundred and fifty-three Republican and
61 Democratic votes were deposited
there. If these votes- are thrown ont by
the Supreme Court the whole Demo
cratic State ticket, and certainly oue
elector and possibly two, are elected.

Columbia, November 19, 11, p. m.—
All the prominent Radicals have been
busy at the State House daring the day
hatching np some fresh deviltry. They
have been receiving affidavits of fraud
and intimidation from every quarter,
gotten np to order, since it was ascer
tained that they were beaten. It is
stated that they will initiate proceed
ings in the Supreme Coart to-morrow,
by protests and otherwise, to throw out
all the heavy Democratic counties.—
Edgefield, Aiken, Laurens and Barn
well are specially mentioned as the ob
jedts of their attention. It is even
stated that they will go so far as to pro
test the entire State election.
Tne following errors on the part of
their friends are reported in the case of
General Conner and General Hagood :
In Barnwell General Conner received
223 votes, which were entered on the
statement of the oonney canvassers for
Conner as candidate for Comptroller-
General, while the same number were
entered for Hagood as candidate for
Attorney-General. An error of the same
character, of 176 votes each, occurred
in the case of these gentlemen in Marion,
and General Conner also lost 65 votes in
Chesterfield by being voted for as Secre
tary of State.
Tbe Ex-Land CommlMioner., Detected in
HI. Latest Rascality, Flee, from Justice.
Leslie has disappeared in earnest.
As soon as the fact became known that
he had planned the Robbins box fraud
and bribbed parties to swear to the
oomotness of that return, proceedings
were instituted against him for fraud
and subornation of perjury, and war
rants were issued for his apprehension.
He then came to Columbia, and the
proper officers were put on his tfack.
Here he became aware of the pursuit,
and hid himself until Friday night,
when he took a berth in the sleeping
ooach on the Wilmington Railroad. To
his probable dismay, the coach was un
coupled and left at the depot when the
train moved off. He then, it is said,
walked up the track aud crossed the
country to a station on the Greenville
Road, where he took the ears, and as it
is alleged, and has fled the State.
Charleston, November 22. —The Su
preme Court has ordered a writ of pe
remptory mandamus to be issued to the
Board of Canvassers, requiring them to
give certificates of election in accordance
with the report made yesterday. This
gives the Democrats, prima facie, a
majority of four iu the House and fif
teen of the thirty-three Senators.
Columbia, November 22. —The Su
preme Court to-day issued a peremptory
mandamus to the Board of State Cau
vassers to issue certificates to members
of the Senate and House of Representa
tives appearing on the face of the re
turns to be eleoted—final contests in
those Houses to be decided by the mem
bers themselves. This gives in the Sen
ate 18 Republicans and 15 Democrats:
in the House, 60 Republicans and 64
Democrats ; Democratic majority on
joint ballot, one. The Legislature
oounts the votes for Governor and Lieu
tenant-Governor, and elects a United
States Senator. The Court has decided
to consider other contests separately,
and will hear arguments this*afternoon
as to counting the electorat vote.
The Board of State Canvassers yester
day made a report to the Supreme Court,
stating the persons who had received
the highest number of votes for the of
fices for which they were candidates.
Appended to the report of results was a
memorandum of the Board stati 'g that
in their opinion the certain irregulari
ties whioh affeoted some of the Republi
can candidates should be corrected, and
also that the vote of Laurens and Edge
field counties, which gave large Demo
cratic majorities, should be exoluded on
aooount of frauds and intimida
tion. This morning the Court pass
ed an order commanding the Board
to issue certificates of election
to all the persons who were shown by
the report of the Board to have received
the’highest number of votes for mem
bers of the Legislature, including the
counties of Edgefield and Laurens. The
Court also to-day took up the case of
the eleotors, and issued a rule on the
Board to show cause why they should
not correct the statements of the Coun
ty Canvassers by the precinct returns in
their possession. Pending thete pro
ceedings of the Court, and notwithstand
ing their own resolution that they would
take no action until their powers aud
duties had been defined by the Coart,
the Board held a session without the
knowledge of any of the parties on the
Democratic side, and issued-certificates
to all the members of the Legislature,
except for Laurens and Edgefield coun
ties, thus securing a majority of the
Legislature to the Republican side; thus
securing tbe defeat of Hampton and the
election ol Chamberlain, and also issued
certificates of election to the Hayes and
Wheeler electors, and to all the Repub
lican State ticket. Correcting the er
rors whioh defeated their own candi
dates, and ignoring all errors of the
same character which would have elect
ed the Democrats. The Board then ad
journed sine die. This action of the
Board has created much exoitemeut, but
the citizens are determined to rely upon
the Court*, and exhaust all legal means
of redress. It is eurrpntlj believed that
the action of the Board was takep under
directions from Washington, and rumors
on the street credit a prominent judicial
official, who has recently arrived here,
with being the organ of tbe authorities
at Washington. .
Columbia, November 22. —The great
est excitement prevails here over the
rash and revolutionary action of the
State Board of Canvassers, bnt not the
slightest disposition' of violence. The
Democrats confidently rely upon tbe
impartiality of the Supreme Court, al
though composed entirely of Republi
cans, and npon its ability to vindicate
its own dignity to enforce the law and
secare justice. Governor Hampton will
issue an address to the people of South
Carolina in accordance with the facts,
and setting forth the pnrpose of the par
ty to prosecute their claims in the
Courts. J- B. Gordon.
Excitement intense, bnt quiet; people
are controlling themselves remarkably
welt. 'Goveroer Hampton has jnst is
sued the following address :
7b the People of South Carolina :
The Board of. Canvassers have, by
their unprecedented action to-day,
shown not only their contempt and de
fiance of the Supreme Court of the
State, but their utter disregard of their
own offioial integrity. While the grave
questions determining the resalt of the
recent election were pending be
fore the Supreme Court, com
posed of three Judges belonging
to the Republican party, and in
direct violation of the orders of this
tribunal, the Board bs* issued certifi

offioets, and have refused to give certifi
cates to Democrat!* members of the Leg
islature shoyn by the yetarns *bis
h.twa Board Jo have been elected in the
counties of Edge&sjfl and Laarens, This
high-handed outrage is well calculated
to arouse the indignation of opr long

ever. I appeal ip yon, therefore, in
the fullest eonfidense the ap

[Signed] Wad* Hampton,
PRINCESS SAL.H-SALII.
It is now abont ten years, says a
Graphic correspondent, since the Prin
cess made her debut in New York so
ciety, where she was very well received
in despite of a very unpleasant circum
stance, namely, the excessive penury of
her title*! husband. They were poor 1
It is difficult to understand how they
lived at all, for I believe tbe Prince had
absolutely no income whatever. I visit
ed them frequently at their lodgings in
Houston street. They had but one
room, the bed standing in an alcove and
partly concealed by a curtain, and each
furniture as was visible was of the poor
est description. Where and when they
took their repasts when they wese not
invited ont, was something of a mystery
in those days when cheap restanrants in
Now York were not so well conducted
nor so respectably patronized as they
are at present. The Princess was a
winning creature, excessively convene il
faut and very dignified in spite of the
embarrassing sitnation in which their
lack of fortune placed her.
Of Prmce Salm-Salm’a right to the
title he bore there was never a shadow
of donbt. We have a good many Count
deFriseures and Due de Chareuteries in
New York, bnt Salm-Salm was a genuine
Austrian noble who had squandered his
patrimony before coming of age, and
who sought our shores in the hope of
finding that golden fleece we are all look
ing for. The first thing he found was
this very charming woman, who was
willing to exchange her name and posi
tion for his. What her name and posi
tion were before marriage was a ques
tion which New York gossips tried in
many ways to solve. I believe the fact
is undoubted that she had been befote
the public, but whether she was, as
many alleged, a circus rider, I cannot
say. Whatever her social status was
before marrying Salm-Salm, she proved
herself a noble, affectionate and talent
ed wife to him, and bore her title in ful
ly as princely a way as he did his. By
her exertions and her persuasions of
prominent officials in Washington, she
obtained a command for Salm-Salm du
ring the war. He was a very good officer,
but not a brilliant one, and when the
war ceased he had to look ont for an
other place.
Soon Maximilian’s tumbles in Mexico
came about and again the Salm- alms
were heard of as great adherents of
Maximilian. The bright lady had set
tled a plan to rescue Maximilian from
Juarez’s clutches, which, if it had been
successful, would have made her name
immortal. It failed frightfully; and the'
Princess’ powers of persuasion had now
to be exerted to the utmost to obtain
her husband’s pardon from the cruel ty
rant Juarez. It was granted on condi
tion that she and her husband should at
once leave the country—an invitation
they were only too glad to avail them
selves of. They made for Austria at
once, and were well received by the Em
peror Franz Josef, who, though he was
not oo good terms with his brother Max
imilian when he departed for Mexico,
yet was naturally so touched by his piti
ful death that he appreciated the efforts
made by the Salm-Salms to avert it.
When the Franeo-Prussian war was
proolaimed, Salm-Salm, with the recom
mendations to the German authorities
he was now able to obtain, had no diffi
culty in getting the command of a Ger
man'corps d’armee. He was killed at.
one of the earliest battles, and his wife
went to the front, and by the exercise
again of her persistent and energetic
qualities, succeeded in obtaining pos
session of her husband’s remains, which
she eaused to be interred with loving
ceremonies.
At this period she seems to have been
again in the most impecunious position,
which was happily relieved by the op
portune but expected death of an uncle
who bequeathed her a considerable for
tune as a token of his satisfaction in her
having obtained the title through her
marriage. This title she has reoently
surrendered by accepting the hand of
the youngest eon of an English Lord,
Mr. Charles Heneage, attache of lega
tion.at Bonn.
She looked very charming on her
wedding day, clad in her pale gray silk,
with a profusion of rich lace. Many
persons cf great distinction sat down to
the wedding breakfast, and a telegram
of congratulation was read from the
Emperor William. Mr. Heneage is a
splendid specimen of manly beauty,
both as regards face and figure. The
Princess appears now about forty years
old. Her hair is white and her beauty
faded; but her spirit is as indomitable
as ever, and before weddiDg Mr. He
neage she madb a vow to renew in his
behalf those energetic endeavors to ob
tain his diplomatic advancement which
brought Prince Salm-Saim such mili
tary suocess as he enjoyed. She is not
without claims to literary distinction.
She has jnst published a volume enti
tled “Ten Years of My Life,” and had
previously compiled her deceased hus
band’s memoirs.
A Deeply Interesting Letter on the Louis
iana Situation.
[Macon Telegraph and Messenger.\
The communication subjoined is ex
tracted from a private letter addressed
to one of the editors of this paper by
Rev. R. Q Mallard, D. D., pastor of
the Prytania Street Presbyterian
Church, New Orleans. Perhaps no in
dividual or servant of God enjoys in a
greater degree the love and confidence
of the entire Southern community. Dr.
Mallard is also noted for his moderate
and conservative views upon all sub
jects, and his remarks on the situation
in Louisiana at this critical juncture,
will command universal attention :
We are, as jou may well suppose, un
der tremendous excitement just at this
juncture. Yet, perhaps, under no great
er than that felt everywhere. Our State
ir> a peaceful election, with all the ma
chinery in the hands of the Republi
cans, has, by dint of hard work and gen
eral determination to throw off the in
cubus upon us, gone by the vote actually
cast largely Democratic. What the in
famous “Returning Board” may make
of it none can tell. The presence of a
large delegation of men of distinction
from the North, and of all parties, is • a
most favorable ' circumstance. Any
wrong done now by a board with a ne
gro undertaker as a member and an
other ignorant African upon it, and
worse men of another color, will be per
petrated in the presence of the whole
country. It is indeed a grave crisis,
and our Republican institutions are now
being put, I believe, to a heavier strain
than even during the war of the Confed
eracy. Both sides then professed to ad
here to the Constitution of our fathers.
If it shall prove that five men shall be
the arbiters of the destinies of millions
of freemen and elect a candidate not
eleoted by the people, then is Repub
licanism a failure.
The matter is on my mind all the time
and a subject of constant prayer. If
there was ever a time when it behooved
a nation to call upon God it is surely the
present. I stand amazed at the Provi
dence which has * developed upon a
wronged State the settlement of a great
national election. The “ Louisiana
case” this time is a national case. Its
settlement has passed beyond our hands
into those of the people of the entire
Union ; and ours, when the whole case
is before the Returning Board and the
jury of distinguished men already here,
will be a passive policy. I so judge
from what i hear from a source in which
I have confidence. R. Q Mallard.
GENERAL SHERMAN ON THE CRISIS.
Times. 1
Washington;- November 16. —General
Sherman, in an interview to-day said:
“Everything is very quiet in the South.
All the rifle clubs have dispersed, so far
as fca hear. Ido not apprehend any
trouble frog) the Southern people. They
; are all quiet and iaw-abidiDgi and ap
parently disposed to be guided by their
friends at the North.”
“In case of there being trouble next
March yon will have a great responsibil
ity thrust upon your shoulders, Gene
ral ? ”
“I don’t know. My God, I hope there
is not going to be any trouble. I don’t
apprehend any. I shall try to do my
duty always. ”
A gentleman present with a work en
titled “Faben Empires” under his arm,
pressed near General Sherman aud ask
ed him if be did not tfainfc that onr coun
try was in great danger of being sgain
rent by factions and ruined in this com
ing contest.
“No,” said Sherman, blnfflv, blowing
a great cloud of bine smoke in his
most energetic fashion ; “onr country
is too young to die that way.”
“But,” said the philosopher of fallen
empires, “don’t you think onr safety
Uea in doing away with onr present sys
tem and building a more secure form of
government, like the English ?”
“No,” roared Sherman, “onr people
are not made for that sort of thing. We
most work onr destinies nnder onr pres
ent laws and Constitution. Our form of
government may be modified m time,
but its spirit will ever rest the same.”

THE INELIGIBLE ELECTORS.
Hon. T. 11. Noewood’. View, on the Subject
—He la Perfectly Satisfied of Tilden’* Elec
tion.
A reporter of the Chronicle and Sen
tinel conversed with Hon. T. M. Nor
wood, United States Senator from Geor
gia, in reference to the political status,
yesterday.
Reporter : What is your opinion about
the Vermont and Oregon postmasters
who were on the Republican electoral
ticket ?
Mr. Norwood : I am clearly of the
opinion that the votes cast for them were
Bo many votes thrown away. The lan
guage of the Constitution is plain. It
says that no man shall be appointed to
the position who holds an office of trust
or profit under the United States. The
word appointed means elected, for
the terms in this connection are in
terchangeable. Resigning the office
of trust or profit afterwards makes
no difference. The votes cast for
the party thus ineligible are absolutely
thrown away. Decisions upon this very
point have been made by Judge Fields
in California nd by the Supreme C iurt
in ©regon. The case of John Young
Brown, who was elected Representative
from Kentucky before he had attained
the age of twenty-five, is cited as an
instance on the other side. But the
Constitution says simply that no man
shall be a representative who shall not
have attained to the age of twenty-five
years. It does not say that he shall not
be elected to the position, for it has
been decided that it is not an office—
before he has attained to the age of
twenty-five. So John Young Brown
simply sat down and waited until he
was twenty-five and then took his seat.
The Vermont Legislature proposes, I
understand, to pass an enabling act,
so that the vacancy there ean be
filled. That Legislature is Republi
can, and of course would elect a
Hayes elector. If the Vermont Legis
lature can do this the Oregon Legisla
ture can pursue the same course. But
the Oregon Legislature is Democratic,
and would select a Tilden elector. This,
giving Hayes all that the Republicans
now claim, would give Tilden 185 and
Hayes 184. Leaving out both, Tilden
would still have a majority. I am per
fectly satisfied that Mr. Tilden is elect
ed, and will be inaugurated next March.
It I was not I would be a miserable man.
PERIL OF TWO YOUNG GIRLS.
And How They Escaped It by tbe Interposi
tion of a Friendly Stranger.
[A r . Y. World.}
We have received, but decline to pub
lish, the names of the two young ladies
detained at police headquarters Tues
day night, on their own confession that
they had run away from their home.: in
Albany. They belong to highly re
spectable families,and it is claimed that
one is the niece of a gentleman who
once filled a high office in this State,
and that the other is a relative of an ac
tual State officer. The mother of one,
according to the girl’s story, married en
secondes noces a man who rendered his
step-daughter’s life miserable, and she
determined on procuring a situation at
any cost. She found a companion in a
young friend who was stage-struck, and
who innocently believed that she would
be received with effusion by any stage
manager in New York. The girls planned
to leave Albany by steamer Monday
nighr, and on the boat n-:ade some ac
quaintances which were not desirable.
It is asserted that a member of a large
brewery firm of this city and Albany ar
ranged, when they i.rrived in New York,
that they should pass the day iu view
ing the city, and that at 5:30,
p. m., they should meet him at a stated
place. The person alluded to hired
hack No. 176, and it appears* that
the driver was provided with money to en
tertain the young ladies. About 4 o’clock
Tuesday afternoon he drove them to a
respectable saloon in Tenth street, just
west of Broadway, and a gentleman, no
ticing they appeared unsophisticated,
followed them into the saloon, and
while pretending to flirt with them learn
ed enough of their history to be con
vinced that they were in peril. After
consulting with the proprietor of the
restaurant he went to Broadway and
encountering Detectives Haley aud
Dilks, of the Twenty-fifth PreciDst, told
them about the girls, and they decided
on questioning them, and if they ap
peared to be without protection to en
deavor to detain them. The officers
soon shared the suspicions of t.he gen
tleman whose curiosity led him to make
the acquaintance of tbe fugitives and com
pelled them to enter the hack that waited
outside, and obliged the reluctant driv
er (who acted throughout as if he had
been engaged to perform a most disre
putable purpose) to drive them to the
Central Office. In the day-room of the
Detective Office the girls cried bitterly
and confessed to having left home. They
were comfortably installed in a cell in the
main corridor, and yesterday Inspector
Dilks had a conversation with them,
pointed out to them the risk they had
run and induced them to consent to go
back to Albany. A telegram was sent to
Chief Molloy, of that city, who return
ed an answer that the young ladies were
as they represented thems-Jves, and
that a person was on his way to take
them back. An Albany detective ar
rived at police headquarters at 4, p. m.,
yesterday, and Sergeant Keaiey deliv
ered the girls into his keeping.
THE PARKINSON ROBBERY.
A Full Htatement From IMr. Parkinson—How
Chamberlain’. Militia Are employed.
Aiken, C. C., November 17, 1876.
Editors Chronicle and Sentinel:
In your paper of the 16th inst. I ob
serve a statement regarding the robbery
of my house utterly at variance with
facts, and, therefore, I subjoin a state
ment of the facts :
On Tuesday night, October 22d, be
tween one and two o’clock, a band of
negroes came to my house, in front of
my bedroom window, and said, “Open
here.” I called out, “Hallo ! What do
you want?” Immediately afterwards
they fired a mufeket ball in the direction
of my head, the ball passing within six
inches of my head. Upon this I told
my wife she had better try to escape and
leave me to my fate. She at once got
up and went to a back door, in the third
room of the house, opened the door and,
after taking a-few steps, was intercepted
by two negroes. I,at the same time put
on my pants and heard the negroes at the
front door calling out, “Open the door.”
I refused to open it, but immediately
afterwards it was burst open and some
negroes came in. I at once said to them,
“Yd* have come here to kill me. I have
a small favor to ask of you. I wish to
speak to and kiss my wife before I die.”
They hesitated a few minutes and then
said, “We shall not hurt you.” When I
made this exclamation I did not know
where my wife was, but immediately
afterwards I heard her calling out,
“What are you going to kill my dear
husband for?” She and two negroes
came from the other room to the room
where I was. All this occurred in thp
space of five minutes. I said to my
wife, they are not going to kill ns, and
as we are unarmed let them take what
they want. My wife says one of the
negroes called for a rope to hang me,
bnt this I did not hear. They stayed
in the honse abont twenty minutes, car
rying off clothing, spoons, forks, &c.
The negroes all belonged to the State
militia and were armed with Winches
ter rifles, and their leader was a ser
geant of the said militia. The same
party of negroes abont a week after
wards killed Hausman and Potman, and
found some of my things mixed with
the murdered men’s goods.
The people of South Carolina are in
debted to Chamberlain and his gang for
this state of things—they have furnish
ed the negroes with rifles to kill and
rob white people in order that a few
men may strut in a Ijttle brief authority.
The history of 3.QOQ year? shows qs
what tbe negro has beenaqd the history
of South Carolina and Sf. Domingo
shows us what the negro is. The voting
privileges conferred upon snch an ig
norant people prove a curse both to
blacks and whites, and the British Gov
ernment, recognizing this fact, disfran
chised eight years ago the negroes of
Jamaica. 4 tree is known by its fruit,
and when a tree produces bad fruit the
decree goes forth, sooner or later, cat it
down—why cumbereth it the ground.
I remain, sirs, yours respectfully,
4. PARKDfsON.

The Weather and the Crops—The Political
situation —Anon by Negroes.
f From an Occasional Correspondent.]
Nkab WoodvimiE, Greene County,
NovemberJ2o. —After a long,dry,beautiful
spell of weather we have had a three
days rain, with mad sufficient to retard
wheat sowing, which was being rapidly
put in when the rain Yesterday
evening and last night we were visited
with tremendous wind and cold. The
crops are all nearly gathered and hous
ed, and the cotton crop seDt to market,
except a small remnant. The low price
at which the staple has ruled this Fall
has made it difficult for many to meet
their debts, but there never was more
anxiety shown on the part of farmers to
meet their engagements than there has
been this Fall. There is but little
taking short cuts to dodge creditors.
The masses come boldly to the front
with what they have made and pay as
long as there is anything to pay with,
and but few will fail to meet all, which
will, we hope, give new life to business
in the future, and more confidence be
tween man and man. We hope the next
crop will be made without the necessity
of buying but little provisions. There
is more corn in this part of the country
than any year since the war,' and more
oats and hay. The wheat crop has
'been about consumed in meeting |
corn and souring, so that there will be a
good demand for flour until harvest.
Upon the whole, if we are not cheated
out of the election of Mr. Tilden by the
plunderers of the United States, times
will be better in the future. Some think
that they see day breaking now, after
about fifteen years of darkness. Our
people are watching with anxiety the
result of these things in Carolina as well
as other States. Some express the opin
ion that the Grant party will not submit
to Tilden or Hampton either being
counted in without a revolution; that
the Radicals have had their paws in
Uncle Sam’s purse so long that death is
preferable to taking them out. Every
one here seems to have a silent, watchful
anxiety to know what will be the result.
Upon the announcement of Tilden’s
election week before last some excite
ment sprung up among some of the
blacks in our vfcinity. Some body had
told them that if i’ilden was elected that
they would be put into slavery again. It
was funny to see some fixing to leave,
others choosing masters. It is thought
by some that such fun Jn part was
the cause of the burning of Pro
fessor Woodfin’s gin house. It has
leaked out that some mischievous
young man told some negroes that if
Tilden was elected the whites would
burn a certain black church in that
vicinity and shoot a cannon, to have a
bonfire over the election. All this was
in fun, but the negroes took it in earn
est, and it is said biwnt the gin house
’in retaliation, but the church was not
burned nor was never thought of being
burned. Two negroes have been com
mitted to jail for trial iu our Superior
Court for the offense. We have an ad
journed term this week and their cases
may come up. Greene.
THE WRECK OF THE SAN RAFAEL.
The Vessel Burned in January Last—Dis
covery of a Part of the Crew—Nine Dead
Bodies on an Exposed Island.
, I From the London Standard.]
We have received from the Colonial
Office a oopy of a letter which Rev. T.
Bridges, Missionary Superintendent of
the South American Missionary,Society
at Ooshooia, Tere Del Fuego, has ad
dressed to Governor Callagalin, Falklin
Islands, respecting the loss of the Liver
pool vessel, San Rafael, belonging to
Balfour, Williams & Cos. The reverend
gentleman writes: “On the 22d of
-ipril, a large party of Indians reached
Ooshooia from New Year’s Sound, and
neighborhood, and brought news of the
death of nine men by starvation and ex
posure on an exposed part of the coaßt,
which was judged to be somewhere be
tween Waterman and Henderson Islands.
They brought proof of their statements
in the clothing they wore and an Eng
lish sovereign they offered for sale. The
report was as follows : An Indian from
his canoe had seen signs of the presence
of strangers on a rugged islet. Being
unaccompanied by any to help him save
his wife, he was afraid to land or even
approach near, but went eastward in
search of helpers. After some time a
small number in one or two canoes ap
proached, the men landed and walked
up, found seven men dead and two still
living, but very weak, rigid in limb,
emaciated, and unable to walk or stand.
The natives were affected to tears, and
lit a fire for the two sufferers, one of
whom was stronger than his companion,
and still retained his senses. The In
dians fetched them water and gave them
a shag (sea bird) and left them. The
poor men had neither fire, water, nor
food, and their skin had largely peeled
off, and seven had already died. —
Much clothing was taken by the
natives, but only such as they
found lying around. What they took
on this visit was given them by the poor
man to whom they gave drink and food.
The natives tried to straighten his legs,
and offered to convey hiit'away in their
canoe, but in vain. He drank twice and
tasted the shag, but could not eat, he
was too far gone and too weak to avail
himself of the natives’ kindness. He,
however, gave away many things, beck
oning to them to take what they chose,
'lhe natives then left, as they could not
remain there, because they could neither
moor their canoe to the kelp in such
rough waters nor haul it ashore on the 1
steep rugged coast. The natives re
turned the following day and found
both the men dead, but bad weather
prevented their return for some days.
On their return they found the whole
nine dead. They then took away what
they ohose, but did not denude the
dead. We hear that the dead were ly
ing orderly, so placed by their sorrowful
companions,, but afterward found the
natives had placed most of the bodies as
we found them." The writer here goes
into various details regarding the voy
age in the Allenr Gardiner to the spot,
and continues : “ We went to Indian
Cove in search of competent guides, and
we happy in finding two who had been
the first to visit the place of suf
fering. The next day, Thurs
day,, May 18th, we were directed
by them to the first landing, inside
of Black Head in Rous Sound. . Two
seamen, Oapt. Willis (master of the
Allen Gardiner), aud four Indians and
■myself accordingly went to the place,
aud, owing to the long continued fine
weather, easily effected a landing, two
men keeping the boat on and off, while
one after another jumped ashore. We
scrambled up the steep, rocky coast, and
some fifty yards above the sea, near the
middle of the islet, or rather peninsula,
found nine dead bodies much decom
posed, but all abundantly clothed. One
of these was the captain's wife. Seven
bodies were lying in a long hollow be
tween rocks about four feet wide and five
feet deep, and about forty feet long.
Two bodies were away from the rest,
but close to each other. At the upper
end of this hollow the poor fellows had
lived. Across the rocks they had spread
canvas, perhaps their boat’s sail, which
had attracted the Indian’s sharp sight
from the other side of the sound. Here
they had made their fires and cooked
their food, tins of meat and such mus
sels as they could gather on the steep
and wave-washnd coast* of their cir
cumscribed prison, a peninsula about 150'
feet high, 100 yards wide from west to
east, and 300 yards long from north to
south. It appeared from the sea to be
joined to the main, but on ascending we
were horrified to find an abrupt chasm
completely cutting off retreat from this
dreadful prison. From clothing and
other things we ascertained the names
of eight of the dead, as follows : Mr.
and Mrs. M’Adam, the lattef by {firth
we supposed to bsye bpen fiamefi M,
Prpatfir, by finding that name on an
article of dress, W. H. Switt, W. Daly,
G. G. Stewart, T. Umlandt, and James
Reid, address of latter Lockst’iU or
Lockhilt. Captain fortunately
came across q private note written in
Eeapii on four loose leaves of a pooket
ook by Captain M’Adam, addressed to
his son. It was written on the forty
first day of their stay on the desolate
island, when the writer was nearly blind,
and scarcely able to see the paper he
wrote upon. The note was found under
a little bush, and gtftttd that they were
iu a very iow state, but gave no other
general information. buried up the
dead as we fpund them, as it was im
possible to remove them, Sinoe then
we have recovered from the natives a
chronometer and case, which was
stowed a way in a rook on an
islet in New-Year’s Sound; a bar
ometer and sextant case, and part of
“South American Pilot,” also hid
away in like manner. A night binocular
was also freely given up, and among the
natives we saw various trinkets they had
obtained from watches, etc. From the
quantity of things we saw on the penin
sular and heard of as having previously
been removed by the natives, we infer
that the poor fellows had leisure in re
moving from their vessel. There were
some five or six cars, about 24 empty
meat tins, odds and ends of clothing ly
ing about, chart, broken epitomes, large
obronometer case, Bible, prayer, and
sundry odds and ends of other books.
While we were hunting abont, the two
sailors in the boat pulled up into the
bay near by, and found parts of two
name boards of the San Rafael, which
we suppose to have been tied to the
thwarts of the boat, the wreckage of
which waa lying around,” The pdbr
men eonld not have saved their boat on
the place they landed, aa they could
never have anchored it off nor hauled it
ashore. They must, according to Cap*.
McAdam’s note, which is dated Februa
ry 15, 1876, have landed on January 5,
which is the midst of Summer. The
San Rafael, bound from Liverpool for
Valparaiso, with coal, was burned on
the 4th January, in latitude 68 degrees
south, and longitude 76 degrees west.
Eleven of the crew were picked up on
the 81st January by the Yorkshire, from
Melbourne, and arrived at Gravesend .on
Wednesday. The captain and the re
mainder ef the crew are those referred
to by Rev. Mr. Bridges.
A Dangerous Ride. —Last Sunday
night, about half-past one o’clock, as a
pssenger train on the Gharlotte, Co
lumbia and Augusta Railroad was ap
proaching Woodward’s, running at the
rate of about thirty miles an hour, the
engineer saw, to his horror, a man sud
denly tossed high into the air in front
of the engine and then fall. As quiokly
as possible he stopped the train and ran
out in front of the locomotive, -expect
ing to find a human body crushed out of
all shape. To his astonishment he
saw snugly ensoonsed on the plat
form under the headlight a burly negro,
whose eyes were almost starting out of
his head with terror. He was groaning
dismally, but upon inquiry stated that
no bones were broken. He had a pain
in his side, however. As another train
was expected in a few minutes, the con
ductor told the negro tq be quiet until
the train was pulled into the sidling at
the station. As soon as the tram reach
ed the station the bewildered darkey
was pulled from his perilous position.
He was placed on his feet, and with the
exception of a few bruises, was unhurt.
Just after he was put on his legs, two
compatriots came up, and one qf them,
raising his hands, called out“ls dat
you Simpson ? How you git here ?
Did dat engine piok you up “Course
it did,” said Simpson. The name of the
negro who took the enforced ride was
Simpson Kensler. He was all right
Monday. _*
JUDGMENT OFTHE PUBLIC.
During the past five years thepublio have

plish-, d’from the use of VEGETTNE. From
its use many an afflicted sufferer' has been re

ed a small fortune in procuring medical advice
aud obtaining poisonous mineral tqedicines.
Its medical properties are Alterative, Tonic,
Solvent and Diuretic. There is no disease of
the human system for which the VEGETINE
cannot be used with perfect safety, as it does
not contain any metallic or poisonous com
pound. It is composed exclusively of barks,
roots and herbs ; it iB very pleasant to take;
every child likes it. It is safe and reliable, as

bone, oue on my left leg, whioh became so bad
that two physicians came to amputate the
limb, though upon consultation concluded not
to do so, as my whole body was so full of
Scrofula; they deemed it advisable to cut the
sore, which was painful beyond description,
and there was a quart of matter run from this
one sere.
The physicians all gave me up to die, and
said they could do no more for me. B: th of
my legs were drawn up to my seat, and it was
thought if I did get up again I would be a crip
ple for life.
When in this condition I saw VEGETINE
advertised, aud commenced taking it in Maroh,
and followed on with it until I had used six
teen bottles, and thiß morning I im going to
plow corn, a well m.n. All my townsmen say
it is a miracle to see me round walking and
working.
In conclusion I will add, when I was endur
ing such great Biifforiug. from that dreadful
disease, Scrofula, I prayed to the Lord above
to take me out of this world, but as VEGE
TINE has restored to mo the blessings of
health, I desire more than ever to live, that I
may be of some servioe to my fellow-men, and
I know of no better way to aid suffering hu
manity, than to inclose you this statement of
my case, with an earnest hope that you will
publish it, and it will afford me pleasure to re
ply to auy communication which I may receive
therefrom.
I am, air, very respectfully,
WILLIAM PAYN.

Reliable Evidence.
Mr. 11. R. Stevens :
Dear Sir — T will most cheerfully add my
testimony to lhe great number you have al
ready received in favor of your great and good
medicine, VEGETINE, for I do not think
enough can be said in its praise, for I was
troubled over 30 years with that dreadful dis
ease, Catarrh, and had such bad coughing
spells that it would seem as though I oould
never breathe anymore, and VEGETINE has
cured me ; and I do feel to thank God all the
time that there is bo good a medicine as
VEGETINE, and I alt-o think it one of the
best medicines for coughs and weak, sinking
feelings at the stomach and advise everybody
to take the VEGETINE, for I can assure
them it is one of the best medicines that ever
was. MRS. L. GORE,

“ OUT SHOPPING!
“WWil. good sakes 1 Good morning, Mrs, Smith, where so early this morning ?"
“Oh ! Mrs. Jones, I am ont shopping. I am going to L. RICHARDS’ DRY GOODS STORE !
That is the place, above all others, to get good Goods. 1 mean IIRbT GLAbS GOODS at LOW
PRICES! He will not be underdold I have been humbugged long enough ruuning around
picking up every little old trashy article I see advertised. I am siok and tired of it. It is juat
throwing money away ! ”
“Why Mrs, Smith, do tell! I have been baught in the same trap. I read the advertisements
about millions and millions of Goods—more than could be packed in all the houses of Augusta.
It just sets everybody crazy, and away we go to buy a Collar, 10.,a paper of Pina for 20., a whole
box of Hooks and Eyes for Go., Soap enough to last a whole lifetime for 10c., Dress Goods at 5,
6,8, 10c., not worth making up, and thousands of things nothing but trash, soiled goods, auc
tion goods, and all kinds of stuff.’
"Well, Mrs. Jones, I have found it out at last! 'They do this to humbug us. They know
we are so easily humbugged ; anil when we get there we get so excited by being baited with
these trashy things, they get us in their power and we pay any kind of prioes, and many times
pay jußt doublo what the aiticlee are worth.”
“Why, Mrs. Bmith, you don’t say .that is the case ?"
“Yes, Mrs, Jones, it is too true ! And that is the secret of si me of these merchants mak
ing so much money by advertising these cheap things—just to get you there."
“Well done. Mrs. Smith. You have opened my eyes, and thanks for it; I never understood
it before. Now, do tell me about this L. RICHARDS. Who is he, and where did he oome from? '
“Why. Mrs Jones, I‘thought you knew! He is the same L. RICHARDS that, with bis
brothers, V. and F. Richards, established the old Fredericksburg Store. You know the old firm
was V. Richards A Bro. That firm is all ‘bnsted up’ now, and this L. RICHARDS has gone to
himself at the AUGUSTA DRY GOODS STORE, where he keeps the nioest aid best selected
stock of Dry Goodß in the city, suited to the wants of all, and at the Lowest Prices:* Having
had any experience of twenty-five tears, jie knows how to make selections for all. You onght
just to see the beautiful line of Dress Good* in all the new shades, and so cheap. And, oh,
those beautifnl Cloaks I They are perfectly elegant—so stylish! His Blaok Alpaocas are the
best and cheapest in the city; and Black Cashmeres, he jußt btts the world. He keeps every
thing in his line you could wish for—Notions, 411 kinds; Hosiery, Oloves. Ribbons, and, oh,
those exquisite Neckties! Kuchins of every description. Ho will sell you a whole piece of six
yards for 25c. Blanketß—a'l prices—the prettiest 1 ever saw. Misses’ aud Ladies’ Meriuo Pan
talettes and Undervests, and the nioest Perfumery, It would take (me a whole mouth to tell
you of everything he has. He is Agent for those splendid Razor-steel Scissors, and for differ
ent kinds of Hewing Machine Needles. You ca ■ get six Needles for 250. He carries on the
Sample Business, just like he did in his old house. Sends Samples to friends at a distance, and
when he gets an order at Retail for $lO and over, will pay all Express charges to the customer’s
Heart st depot. It is such an accommodation, and so nice for those that o&nnot visit the city.’ 5
