A Stting Disclosure 3h -According to the distorted inginza tion of a corrog.ondent to the Columbia Union, the climax is near at hand in Spartanburg, and the bloody Ku Klux are whetting their kniivei. The terrible * disclosure of their plans has been brought to light by an unfortunate lady -- who, in an ungnarded m>mecnt, let th< *Ku Klux cat out of the wallet. The tale wvas told under promise of secrecy, *and under ordinary circumsztanzces would have been kept sacred, but as this is an extraordinary case, we exonerate the carpet bag writer, for- proving recreant to his trust and ma:king the disclosure public. It is a bi.g thing. Hie tells i; p--uinly ton, witho'it varnish, nor set downt aught in malice. If there is anyv one to blame it is the K. K.'s themi selves, who entrusted so important a se cret to d.e kee; ing of a lady, when it i., * well kno. n that it is not i'i the na'.u: e of the scx 40c keep one. It is unifortu . nate, :and enougrh to mike a man say -'euad words to his granzdfa,ther,'o -it war Fupposed that the wl:ule affair was a~ d ark as midnight, and par:ook of a g-aveyard character. But just now~ in tue vet y nick of timne,the: e -ret is wvornied out and appears in the Columbia organ, and next week will be in the Herald and Tribune, and the chances are that the wholc splendid pin will be squelched, and fall to the ground like the bas less fabric of a viNion, unless the K. K.'s can? anticipate a little. The way of it is this. The writer by some bouok or crook, be came acquainted w' i th a ni "intelligent" lady-color not mti.onedl-and work ing himself into her gond graces-the in. sinuating de-vil of a carpetbagger-the w.hole plan was diveulge-d, aind "many tinigs hardliy to be credite," tAdl be e.ide.

CjUTC1 ORGAN AND CHOIR ITEMS.-A I Minister from a rural district who had never heard organs and quartetts, being invited to preach in a New York church, was greatly perplexed with the prelude and the artistic style with which the hymn was rendered. After prayer he gave out the second hymn, saying: "Tlie audience will now join me in singing an old Methodist hymn, and those persons running that bag of wind in the gallery will please not interrupt." Dr. McCosh preacliel in a pulpit where the quartetre choir sang tLe first pi-ce in most s tinished and artistic style-so artistie that - neither mini:4cr nor people understood one word of what was sung. W hen it was ended the I)octor waited a inomentas if he expected the applause to coine in, but as it did not he - rose and gravely said: "And now we m Ill a commence the wotship of God in the u-e of r the 27th hymn."

A deman(I for the keys was then e made, but as neither had them in possession, t some of the party went in quest of the Sher. ,e iff, who occupied another room. About this r- time, Mr. Caldwell states, the order was giv, en by some one for the whole party to with draw, which they did. Ile states that ther - r- were about fifteen in and around the jail. 'The whole party left there as they came, si. leutly and mysteriously, no one knowing from whence or where. It is said further that before running, Young fired at the par tv and wounded ono o* them.

For atght we know to the contrary, the Seltzer Sprintg was bubblinag antd sparkiang when Adam walked with Eve ill paradise. Be that as it may, its sanitry properties have never becen surpaassed by any medicineof human inventtion. They have, however, becut emabodied in all their native e'ffic'acy in Trant's Seltzer Aperient, wicht is the chemical duplicate of the Sa itelf, and its effecting cures of dyspepuia, hail inusnes, contslipationl, eclie, nervous de-. hiliy, dropsy, rheunmatismt, &c., quite - raid andl as mtarvehaons as those attrbed to the famous Spring, and whicht thfeen i of Fuirope ba'.e placedl on record as saPs the mtedial- I iracles of the age. SiLlD B~Y ALL DRCGGISTS. May 17, 2.t s-P1OIS O N OUS M EDI C'EI..-The~ theory th;at the virus ofdis e2:1se caun be safely counteracted by doses of poison, is false and dangerotus. Within the last twenty-five years, not less thtan a score of vi'u!ent poisona havee been added to the r poitory of theC medical profession. They are giro'n in small doses, otherwise they would de.stroy life immedaia&tely ; but even im minte qua:tities, they produce, ultimately, ver'- dis:astrons elfects. It is unwise and unthilosophlical to emtiploy, as remedies, powerltl and insidions drugs, which, in et jt;ating one'. dliseae, soa thet seeds of tanoter still more nuant oagrneable. Nonte of Lthes terrible mtedicaets opaerates with as nuch direcitness and certainity upon the :tus of adisease as IIlostetter's Stou zeet lit:ers, a Ionic and corrective, without a singlec deleterious ingredient in s comtposition. Arsenice nd quzinia are ~ivent for intermaittentts ;bromide of potas im faar nervouas di-orders ; strychnine an rssie acial for genteral de bility ; mercury, in ationas formts, for liver complaint ; prepa ratios of chloroform and opium for sleep esess; and yet these deadly drugs do nos :ompare, as specifics for thte diseases above enmerated, with that wholesome vegeta ble invigorant and alterative, while they are all so pernicious that it is astonishing any pysician shtould take the responsibility of prescribing them. Let it.valids, for their on n sakes, try the Bitters before they re sort to the poisons. The rellef they will experience from a course of the harmiles specific, will render a recourse to the un safe preparationis referred to, quite um necessary.
