I have examined the twdc entitled " Woman, and I
her Thirty Y'eara* Pilgrimage," written by IV. w.
Bites, M.D., of N&w York, and in my judgment, it is a ve?valaal)lo
work, and calculated to be useful, cspootully
among women, where ill health to quite too prevalent at
present.
It 'a philosophically, scientifically, anatomically, phvsloloih
aJly and pathologically correct In hs descriptions of
the organs of the body, ennses of female diseases and their
euro; or, what la much better, their precnttian: and the
quotations (somewhat numerous) are from standard writer,

five happen to *get in together, they
all get out again." IIow is that?"
asked the gentleman. "They form a

Not Just Yctt
A correspondent proposes that the
different social and charitable clubs in
Charleston determine "to celebrate
the coming Centennial, in conjunction
with their late slaves, whom wo recognize
under tho law as our political
equals."
There ave many obvious objections
to such a celebration, and the
first, and most important, objection
is that the whito citizens
of South Carolina do not possess
a Republican form of government,
and therefore, have no particular
reason to sing Hosannalia in Philadelphia
or anywhere else. When the
State has a decent government, directed
and controlled by intelligence and
virtue, tho people will return to au
appreciation of the privileges supposed
to have been guaranteed to
them by the Federal Constitution.
Until then, it is better to hold aloof
from National rejoicings. Just now
there is v?^r little to bo thankful for,
in that sense.-? News and Courier.

1874,
IIOW A STATE WAS ROBBED.
The High-Hamletl Thieving of Texas
Officials.
[New York Sun.] ;
; In 18GG a deep laid scheme was i
formed hy an organized band of iob* <
bers iu 'lexas who bad confederates (
throughout the Southern States. To <
render success certain they pretended <
to In; friends of law and order, and to
be anxious to have offenders of every 1
class ounnished certainly and effective t
ly. Hence whenever nny tholt or t
murder was committed by themselves <
they put on a semblenco of virtue and ]
honesty. Adroit theives as they ]
were, they cried stop thiet to the ofti- <
vers ot justice with such a semblence i
ol innocnce that even the otlicers of i
tho United States .Government gave
them their contidenoo and protec- <
lion.
About one year after the organizat:on
ol the band the leaders had themselves
installed into otlices ostensivcly
to preserve law and order, but in reality
to gain better iaeiltios lor robbing
and plundering. Hacked by the
United States Government, so powerful
did they become that they obtained
possession ol the State Government,
of Texas, and placed one of
their leaders in the gubernatorial
chair. This was done by Federal bayonets,
the people of Texas not being
permitted to have any real choice in
the election.
Thus successful this band of robbers
became bolder. They found the
State rich, out of debt, and money
in the treasury. Tho money they
distributed among themselves, ard
then taxed tho people to tho fullest
extent of their ability to pay. The
more effectively to continue their enormous
robberies from year to year
they calumniated their victims, styling
them robbers and murderers.
Emboldened by immunity they iorced
the people, in the shape of fines and
taxes, to pay them (tho robbers)
largo sums amassed by honest
labor.
Tho success of tho robbers led many
others to join them. Greedy, bad
men with carpet-bags in hand from
the North flocked to their standard,

spoils. These carpet-baggers joined
in the hue and cry of too robbers,
sending letters for publication at tho
North saying that the people of Texas
were hostile to the United States
Government and ail Union men.
But in time Northern peopblo began
to reflect and think how it could be
possible for these pretended Union
men (robbers) to live unmolested in
Texas if the people of that State were
as bad as had been represented. It
was improbable. At length Northern
support ceased to bo given to the
robbers, and the people ot Texas were
permitted to select their own officers.
This they did last autumn, arid the
thieves were driven from power, but
not until they had made a desperate
and ineffectual struggle to obtain support
from the Government at Washington.
Thus ended one of the most gigantic
robberies of modern times. The
robbers secured millions of dollars.
Is'till they are at large and permitted
to enjoy their ill-gotten gains, while
much better men than they are sent
for life to the penitentiary. It is said
that similar robberies have been perpetrated
in other Southern States,
some of which are Still suffering fi'om
the depredations of men liko those
who have plundered Texas. It seems
to have been a scheme of a large band
to rob tho Southern people, and it has
been successful beyond precedent.

Liquid drafting Wax.
Until lately the recipe for making
Lelort's liquid grafting wax was kept
secret, and the preparation sold at a
, high price. All who have used it
speak of it as tho best prepraliou lor
covering wounds in trees that has ever
been invented. The following is the
formula of preparation, as printed in
The Horticulturist:
"Melt one pound of common rosin
over a gentle fire. Add to it an ounce
of beet tallow, and stir it well. Take
if, i I'fWH ilin i?n lnf If ^

little and then mix with it a tablespoonful
of spirits of turpentine, and
alter that about seven ounces ot very
Rtrorig alcohol (65 per cent.) to be
had at any druggist's store. The
alcohol cools it down so rapidly that
it will be necessary to put it again on
the lire, stirring it constantly. Still
the utmost care must bo exercised to
prevent the alcohol irom getting inflamed.
To avoid it the best way is
to remove the vessel from the fire
when the lump that may have been
formed commences melting again.
This must bo continued till the whole
is a homogenous mass similar to honey,
After a tew days* exposure to the
atmosphere in a thin coat, it assumes a
whitish color and becomes as hard as
stone, being impervious to water or
air/* .

A Significant Politicat. Coalition
in Kansas.?We learn from the Kansas
Citv (Mb.) Times that the democrats,
grangers, liberal republicans,
and all other elements opposed to ^he
republican parly, have united on a
common platform for the next campaign,
which occurs in Novemlf*^^
Kansas has been republican for twc.l^
years, but this combination is likely to
revolutionize it, and end the era of
corruption that has won for the State
the title of the "rotten commonwealth.'*
It is probable that similar coalitions
will bo made in many of the other
Western States that will prove disastrous
to the dominnt party and
largely affect the complexion ot political
parties in the next Presidential contest.
This last combination is especially
so.?1Yew York Herald.
Last winter the Rev. W. K. S ,
of Lowell, Massachusetts, was spending
a few months in JacksonvilleFlorida,
for his health, and while
there manifested interest in all things
pertaining to the welfare of the freedmen.
On one occasion, while attending
the Sabbath school of the Colored
Baptist Church, a class ol boys was
turned over to him as instructor. The
lesson ol the day was the 5th chanter
of St. Mark, relating to tho manner
in which the Saviour cast devils out
of the demoniac and into the swine.
After tho chapter had been read, Mr.
S turned to the class nnd asked:
"Now, boys, do you think that
those were real devils that possessed
this poor man?"
The hoys looked at each other hesitatingly,
but no one ventured a reply.
He finally spoke to one ot the boys on
the front seat, who was black as
Erebus, and evidently the "logy" one
of the class, and asked:
"l_>o you believe that men in those
days*had devils in them?real devils?"
The young "amendment," solemnly,
rolling up the whites of his eyes,
replied:
"Yas, I dns; nnd dar's heaps on 'em
icoCs (/ot de debble in 'em noW"
Whatever might have been the
moral status of those Gad are ne people
who became so troublesome to the
swine, there is no doubt whatever
that the Floridian freed boy was quite
exact in saying that "dar'a heaps
wol's got de debble in 'era" at the
present writing.
Quousque Tandem.?When will
Gov. Moses cease his abuse of the
pardoning power? As will be seen
by reference to a letter in another
column, his latest exploit is the pardoning
of Csesar Cave, one of the
Barnwell County Commissioners who
was convicted of fraud and malfeasance
in office, and sentenced to
thirteen months' imprisonment in tho
Penitentiary. It will be remembered
that these same convicted feions boasted
to a reporter for the JYeies and
y -J' ? .i-i.i
runner, wuiio inoy were in the cara
011 their way to the Penitentiary, that
they would not remain there fifteen
days; that Moses would not dare refuse
them a pardon. They evidently knew
their man. Cave was pardoned in
less than one week after arriving at
the Penitentiary. The other will, of
ti 9
course, be let out soon.

Most all pill9 in the market, and
those styled vegerablu, are not only
large, nauseous, griping, and difficult
to swallow, but they contain Mercury,
besides Aloes, Gamboge, and other
injurious drastics. These are old
medicines, and used before medical
science developed better, now supplanted
by much more pleasant but
effectual cathartics. Dr. Pierce's
pleasant purgative pellets embody
the latest and best cathartic properties
in a concentrated, yet mild and searching
