" Vera goot, Mr. II ; yon makes just as many questions as you mind, I takes the houso when you gets ready." Two days afterwards, the hou60 owner called upon the German.? "Well," he Ba\d, "I've inquired pretty generally concerning your character and means, and as everybody speaks of you as an honest, respectable man, of abundant property, you cau have the house. "Veil, den," said Hans, "I takes de house. And I wants to tell you I've asked rill about you among de peoples, and dey say that you is de meanest land lord in de town ; but I takes de house all de same." It seems that after the old folks had gone he didn't do nothing but iest sot a syin' and groanin' as it lie was in great distress, enough to break the heart ot a stone, till Miss Ofolia took pity on his sufferings and asked him wouldn't he take some pepperraent draps, thinkin, he had the kawlic, or maybe sumthin' wuss. And then down he went 011 his marrowbones, and told her it wasn't the stomick akc, but the heart ake ho had, and nobody but sho could cure him. And then he swore a dreadful oth that he'd do some thin' desperate if sho wouldn't have him. Wal, what do yon think the gal done?

To 8o<L a man whoso whole record through the struggle of the past would bo acooptablo to all sections of tho American people, would be finding a miracle. Light is beginning to penetrate the messes of the Worth. Greeley, Sumner end Bcburs ere 'breaking down the prejudices of the past, and we should aid them in the progress of the work. I have believed, and still believe, that our main dependence for relief lies in a correctly enlightened Norths era sentiment. The man who, In the parable, fell among thieves and robbers, end who was left naked and half dead, did not refuse relief becauso it was offered him by a Samaritan, a man with niivui N n UO Oia DO UOtllDgl. 'J. DO Stmerltan became bis neighbor, while bis countrymon, the Priest and Lerite, passed by on the other sido. Let us make a practical application of this parable to the present plun* dered, bruised and beaten condition of our oountry. We need the oil and wine of relief, and I am willing to take it at tho bands of Mr. Oroeley. Ho already admits tho praotical failure of tho reconstructed state of gov crnments in the South. He has declared in sontiment that peace and ordor cannct exist in society where ignoranpe1 and rice control the laws. Seeing the condition, be knows tho remedy. Let the whites and- blacks of tho South settle their own domestio relations without foreign Interference, and we wiU soon hare peace and satisfaction. At the close of the great civil war, many of the Northern leaders boldly advocated, and even Andrew Johnson after Lincoln's assassination, appeared to favor the measure of putting to death a number of Southern leaders as a penalty for "treason." But tJreeloy's amnesty policy said, "No ; blood enough has been shod." The Now York Tribune was a power upon tho Northern masses and the government, too. Had it been controlled by the swelling tide for rovongo that boat upon all sides of tho government, I have little doubt that Jeff. Davis, Gen. Lee. ond many others of tho lost cause wmiU Kn?n K..-_ ? ?? shot. " A friend in need is a friend indeed." After the surrender of our armies and the assassination of Lincoln, which I always thought unfortunate for the country, was the time that we needed a friend at the North to moderate the vindictive passions that wcro demanding retaliation upon Southern men. That friend was found in Horace Greeley. Rising head and shoulders above tho common mass, he placed himself bctwecu popular passion, which was likely to move the government in its suc> cess with ii spirit for revenge, and tho lives of our people. I believe that his amnesty policy and his being bondsmen for Mr. Davis saved the lives of many Southern leaders. The war is now over ; slavery is abolished ; wo never want it re established ; tho enfran* ckisemcnt of the blacks has been endorsed by a popular vote of tho American people ; and, seeking to heal the wounds of tho past, let us go on to peace and prosperity in the future. The country needs peace. I want it; we all want ii. Wo want peace at home and abroad, a thing that tho policy of President Grant does not sufficiently foreshadow. His course towards the Southern people has not been pa* ciflo. In my humble judgement, he has shown neither the wisdom nor the sagacity becoming the Chief Magistrate of a groat Republic. Tho plea that he has executed the law, is not sufticicnt to justify him in his course. Did he not adhere to one side in tho dispute, and re* fuse to listen to the other? ne has shown himself deficient in sagaoitv, for his KuKlux law, which it was claimed at the time was intended to.secure l)i* re-election, I have no doubt will prove his defeat. I have always been op* posed to all "clicking parties," knklnxing and the like. The measures which they introduce must inflict upon society worse evils than those which they attempt to remove. They are not the means for tbo settlement of either private or public wrongs. Just before the election, two years ago, when the excitement was getting very high, whloh grew out of the report that Scott was using the Leagues to carry the State by force, I offered resolutions in a citizens' meeting, held in Dnnklin Township, stating that every person entitled to vote should be allowed to deposit his ticket without dread, or constraint, upon the part of any one* I went to the polls, but was not allowed to vote, because I would not swallow the infamous and outrageous election oath. Here I stood practically disfranchised, not allowed to vote for Governor of my State, or any other officer, because I considered it an outrage up* ou the civil rights and privileges of a free oitizen, when no one oould challenge bis ticket not to be permitted to deposit it, unless he would first take an insulting test oath. I turned from it as I would from the poison of a venomous serpent. To free us from these odious oaths, and restore the right of voting and holding office to the good men of the country, who alone scruple to take tbem, Horace Greeley comes forward bearing the olive branch of peace and amnesty. Let us take all we can get, and, losing sight of the past, press on wara to save our country from anarcby or a centralised despotism. Respectfully, A.

By this means many hundrod dollars might be saved fbr the City. I U. _ II..I - ?J . LI. .1 . m*j m nvvio kqu iruuoie 100 luouai could be easily doubled and trea quadrupled. Let the authorities furnish to every house good slop barrel*, and nsyaire the slops to be put into them, and have carts to empty them into the pens daily or as often as necessary. In addition. It would be well to pot in a few bushels of lime and charcoal with the water and other refuse, la order to retain ammonia and other valuable gases, wbioh would otherwise escape. Also, bare other scavenger parties, whose duty it should be to visit every man who keeps either horses or oows, and offer to olean out his stables and eow pens and remote contents to the places of deposit. Many, who have no use for the manure, would be glad to get rid of It in that way. Next, let the City authorities rtquirt that all privy bouses be so constructed that barrels with lime and charcoal or dirt be placed under thorn, and these removed and emptied, and others plsoed in their stead every week or ten days. In addition to improving the sanitary condition of the City, many tons of the most valuable manure known might be saved, sold and credited to the City, thus decrees iug taxes benefitting health, increasing'the productions of the farmer, and again coming back to tbo merchant, increasing his sales too. While a few of the oitixens may take care of those little things, I know that fully nine-tenths would be glad of the arrangement, as it would take off their hands a very unpleasant and muoh neglected job of work. I think this plan would be productive of large results, especially about factories, mills, hotels and other places of business, where they can make no use of this valuable manure. By mixing all together, through the course of throe or four uiuu\ui a loniiisor, fijun, u nm superior, 10 the best Peruvian guano may be prepared, and aold at one-fltth of tho coat of Peruvian, and then give handsome profits to the town. Besides, there are many other ways by which the amount might be increased which would readily suggest themselves to any good practical man. While I think it the better plan, and have advocated the City authorities taking the matter in hand, still it would giro to any company or private individual handsome results, if managed with proper energy and judgment. But keeping up tho sanitary condition is tho duty of tho city officials, and saving and utilising would add but little to the primary costs, while in the end it would result in au immense saving. While what I have written is applicable particularly to Greenville, it is applicable in a still more extended sense to all larger cities. If Charleston eould save all tho garbage which is daily thrown into the river, and could collect in large reservoirs?pump out and remove every day the contents of her hugo sowersand underground drains,HI have no doubt that it would result in freeing the city from all onerous taxation, and increase tho general health from ten to twenty per cent. Why, at tho end of one year thero would bo more and better fertilisers saved than is made by auy company in the titato. It is said that the farmers in the vicinity of Paris are beginning to use large quantities of the contents of the sewers on their lands, alleging that it increases the yield from ten to thirty per cent. Why should we throw away so much good manure when larmcrs aro continually sending off after fertilisers and getting swindled very often, besides paying such enormous prices for what we eau make better at home ? Some may raise objection to the cost, but why not convert the men whom the County has In Jail into a chain gang, and put them to work, by this means making them earn their r>t>ot't. ift-t. vuu uiv JjU. ? ? ? ? + ?

Tbe adjustment of this queetioa wee referred to the Emperor of Germany. Mr. Bancroft Davis, who represents the interest of the United States in this matter, submitted bis final argument on tba 12th of this month. Thia paper ia regarded as of the highest ability, and it is confidently believed tbat his facts ncd arguments cannot be controverted. The Emperor will give this subject his personal attention, and tbe friend* of the United States entertain the fullest assurance tbat the position taken by our goveromaot will be sustained, via: that tbe Hero Cbdnnel, which la the main channel, and not the Roeario, sliall be adopted as the dividing line, as is maiutaioed was the ioteotiou of the original treaty on tbe subjeet. Rt. Rbv. Bisnor Howe.?This distinguished Prelate, with R?vs. ? Johnson of York, Ellison Capers of Greenville, and J. D. Mo Cullougb of Spartanburg, paid a visii of four or five days to this Parish, last week. It was the first visit of the Bishop to this Parish sinee hia election to tbo Episcopate, and he has left among the people here a profound respect for him as a true Christian, a man of great ability and a sealons laborer in the paramount cause of true religion. His sermons wore profound, logical and impressive, and were listened to by the large congregations that attended the cliuroh daily, with great respect aad profit. He is eminently fitted for the high and holy office hq assumes, And we believe will do much, if his life is spared, to ioorease the christian seal and prosperity in the church of which he is the earthly head. [ Union Timet, 9th. Strong Testimony. Stkvbknville, Ohio, Sept. 4, 1871. Dr. IP. H. TV.tr ; Dear Sir?I feel it a duty to ynu and to suffering humanity to make public tbe great merits of yonr Extract Sarsaparilla and Queen's Delight. For years I have been a great Sufferer, mv general health broke down, and I was afflicted with nervousness of the most terrible character, whioh was soon followed by an eruption all over the body, forming large ulcers in some places, and attended with rheumatic pains. Tongue cannot describe my suffering ; I was reduced almost to a skeleton, and bad a perfect loathing of food. I was attended by several physicians, who rendered me no relief. I despaired ot ever being well again ; but, thanks to a kind Providence, I accidently heard of your medicine. I sent for half a dosen bottles, and before I had takeu three I began to feel better, my appetite improved, and the rheumatie pains became less severe and I could enjoy sleep. I Dave continued it* use, and have taken eleven bottles, and believe I am a aound man again. The uloent have all healed, my skin la smooth and bealtby, and I have gained 22 pounds in weight. I believe my aickness resulted from a taint of scrofula. I would earnestly recommend yonr compound to my fellow-sufferers. With deep gratitude to you, 1 am ever your friend, JAS. FRANKLIN.

This must be oonverted into blood, upon whieh the whole system draws for whatever it requires. To make blood, the food must be completely transformed. First it is subjected to the mecbanieal action of the teeth. But no mechanioal aetion can liquify solids. Therefore during mastication the sal* iva is poured into the irouth. The saliva is alkaline, containing salts of soda, potass and lime. It serves to lubricate the month and moisten the food, so that it may assume the pasty oondition. Its ehemical constituents are needed to convert the staroby elements (useless as starch) of broad, potatoes, etc.. into a sugar, Thus, if a little pure staroh be ebeired, it will become sweet, being oonverted into sugar bv the saliva. The saliva also oonverts sugar into laotio acid, which the stomach demands as a oondition of its aetion. If food is swsllowed listlessly and without appo* tite, it is certain that the lirst conditions of digestion have been violated. The food is thrown unprepared into tbe stomach. The gastrio juice oannot do tbe office of the saliva. The result is Dyspepsia. Now by a thoroogh knowledge of the natural laws governing digestion and nutrition, and by a skillful manipulation of oarefully selected stimulant and tunio herbs, Dr. Fisoh, In bis Bitters, has provided a remedy whieh, acting directly upon tbe nervous system, stimulates appetite, and, as tbe resulting reflex ot this, promotes the secretion both of the gastric juioe and of the saliva, thereby enabling the alimentstive organs to eonvert the material* ot the food into nutritious blood, and to transform the qui**' ...I / 'L - I.., " - v... juiomm vi ma 10011 idio tot not ire forte* of vitality.
