STEVENs' Dear Sir-This is to certify that I had been suffering from a Rose Caneer on m right breast, which grew very rapidly. and all my friends had given me up to die, when I heard of your medicine, Vegetine, recom mended for Cancer and Cancerous Humors.

ALL DISEASES OF THE BLOOD.-If VEGE TINE will relieve pain, cleanse, purify, and cure such diseases, restoring the patient to perfect health after tryiug different physi cians, many remedies, suffering- for years, is it not conclusive proof, if you are a suf ferer, you can be cured? Why is this medi cine performing such great cures? It works in the blood, in the circulating fluid. It can truly be called the Great Blood Purifier. The great source of disease originates in th blood; and no medicine that does not act directly upon it, to purify and renovate, has 4ny just claim upon public attention. VEGETINE.

[From the Spartanburg F^rald.] LENN SPRINGS DISOVERED; OR, THE LOST AMULET. PART I. The season of 1877, at Glenn Springs, S. C., was unusually brilliant. Ti,,- gloom which had overshadowed f"e State while un der Carpet-bag rule, had just been dispelled, and the gallant Hamp on was firmly seated in the gubernatorial chair. New life was infused among all classes. Hopes which had been almost dead, were revived, and many, very many, had resorted to this celebrated watering place, and fountain of health for rest and recreation to enable them to meet more ener getically the hopes and expecta tions of the future. There was tbere the grave and dignified judge the astute lawyer, the laborious planter, the enterprising merchant and the pious divine, with their wives and daughters. Wit, mirth and hilarity abounded. All seemed to feel that they were again free. Among the many visitors, how ever, who gave tone and harac er, and interest to thia distin uished assemblage, none attract d more attention than a young nglish gentleman, who had just rrived from the old country. He as apparently about twenty-five r thirty years of age. ~His man 1ers was as genial and as unaffect d as a child's, and his learning was accurate and profound. He 1ad devoted himself to the study f the physical sciences, especially )eology, Mineralogy and MNining. While modest and unassuming in is scientific acquirements, yet, e was ready and willing to share his great store with others. . To m, whoc bhad just begun to turn attention these studies, he was altogether indispv. l,_nd he was as kind as indispensable~He made no secret of his purpose of isiting this portion of the coun try.. He had been sent out by ompanies of manufacturers and iners to investigate and re port upon its capabilities in these respects; but he was as willing to mpart as to receive information. e was entirely familiar with the eological reports of the State, by Prof. Toumney and Lieber, and :ould designate more accurately than I could, the various points of interest, which he desired to ex mine, in this wonderful Pied mont region. Of course, the first thing which attracted his atten tion, was the wonderful Spri.ngs. He. soon discovered that their in gredients were Sulphur, Magnesia and Lime, combined in such pro portions and such intimacy, as to mock the efforts of the most skill ful Pharmaceutists; and his opin ion as to their remedial efficacy, corresponded fully with the ex perience of tho many grateful visitors who have been benefited by them. He next turned his at'tention to the mining capabilities of the country. He *was aware of the location of the Fair Forest gold mines in the vicinity of Glenn Springs, and we visited them. Comning as be did from a country where mining is prosecuted as a systematic in dustry, and upon scientific prin ciples, he was of course struck with the slovenly and inefficient manner which had been adopted in developing these mines, but his practiced and scientific eye, and he7 predicted that at sOn( future day the mines of thif region would be more importani and remunerative than those 0: California and Colorado. They had never been worked lower than the water level, and none of them bad yet reached the granite, where he believed with Profs. Toumey and Lieber, that the most astoDishing results would be obtained. From these interesting mines we went to the iron region of the -ounty, and he was more as Lonished at the rich field here )pened for remunerative indus try, than with the mines of 0he more precious metals. Said he, Looking at the group of rocks, con aining the magnetic ore of iron, h red and brown henetites. the imestono and flexible quartz for luxing, "here we have iron ore of 3early every species and of the very best quality, with i-ocks for irestone and fluxing, all on the )anks of a noble stream capable )f affording abundant water pow r. The resources of your coun ry, sir, are illimitable." With Profs. Toumey and Lieber, e was also much interested in he itacolumite, or flexible qiartz o be found' in th4 region, and dentified it at once, with the Brazillian and Ural Mountain for nation and was astonished that so ew diamonds had been found, as hey were the sure and certain oncomitants of this rock. We next visited some of the miany shoals, formed by the gneiss 4s ock, iptersecting at right angles, he many beautiful and magnifi -ent streams, which tow in paral el directions through this country -the Enoree, the Tyger, Fair Forest, Pacolet and Broad Rivers. t Mountain Shoals, on the Eno e, there is a fall of seventy feet n a distance of two hundred ards. At this point, the gneiss s much contorted, and affords a atural dam. Prof. Toumney, in peaking of it says : "It is an ex 3eedinglyiheautifuil spot, standing >n one of the little islets at the oot of the falls, and looking up ward, the noble river is seen as if mierging from an arcade of green oliage, now foaming and spark ing in the sunshine as it dances ver the.broken edges of the rock, and again biding itself in the deer shadows of the vine clad trees.' A t Musgroves, Van Pattons and numerous other places~ on this ioble stream the falls are equally is interesting, and it is impossible o examine them without being struck - with the great facilities which they afford at small cost, ror manufacturing purposes. At Trough Shoals, on the Pacolet, this magnificent stream rusbef through a crevice in the rock, nly eight feet wide, at an incli nation of twenty feet in sixty bains crashing like pipe stemf the toughest, and the most obsti nate timber thrown in to impede its progress. Those wvere some of the natural and almost undevloped resources fthe region of country, and which impressed Mr. Lancaster, the English gentleman, of whomr we have spoken with wonder and amaement. A few mornings, about the close of the season, before he left, he rushed into my room, before I had made my toilet with. amazemeni and delight depicted upon his in genuous face, exclaiming "80e what 1 have found," at the same time holding out to me whal seemed to be the fragment of white coral, but now much do faced and disfigured by exposur' and time. "Oh !" said I, "a coral, you bav found evidences of the submer gence of this locality." "No," he eloquently replied "this is a primrary formation c the Cambrian period, and has no been under the water since th fiat of the Almighty Architect o the universe went'forth. Let tb water under the Heaven be gath ered together in -one place, an the dry land appear, and so it was No, this piece of coral was brough from the sea coast, by the Indian and 'thereby hangs a tale' whie) is now being dimly brought t mind W hen I wa n. bov. 1 wa much devoted to reading, and in my father's library were many quaint and curious volumes of "forgotten lore,'Pas Poe, the poet of America, bas it, and many manuscripts containing incidents of the personal history of my an cestors, which had been kept up for generations, among these, was one containing the adventures of my great-grand-father,subsequont ly the Duke of Lancaster in the province of South Carolina about the year 1760. Mome of the in cidents I remember, distinctly, but not enough to givg you now a connected account of them. They related as I believe to this piece of coral, and to the discovefy of these wonderful Springs. When I go bome I will send you a copy of the manuscript to which I allude, and which I am sure will be an interesting chapter in your local history. Place this piece of coral with the other specimens which I will leave, as a nucleus for the Glenn Springs Cabinet." In a few days after this, to the regret of every visitor at the Springs, he left for his home, and I heard no more from him, until a few days ago, when I received the following letter: BnA,INGUAM, ENG., Nov. 1, 1877. My DEAR SIR : I arrived at home safely, after leaving your pleasant locality, somo weeks ago. I bave made my report of its man ufacturing and mining resources to the parties who sent me out, which is so satisfactory that they are making arrangements to in vest in these industries. I congrat ulate you, and the country upon the brilliant prospects which are in store for you. It is possible that some length of time may elapse before these arrangements are consummated,.and it is highly probable that I may see you again the next. season. In the mean time however, as I promised, I send you the manuscript of the adventures of my great-grand father, in your region of country in 1760. Having seen many of the places which he describes in his narrative, it was to me again exceedingly interesting, and I am sure it will be to you. Please accept my grateful recol lections of your kindness to me while at Glenn Springs and the assurance of my Shighest regard. Very truly. GEORGE LJANCASTER. PART II. In accordance with the cus.tom and injunctions of my ancestors, I proceed to give some of the most important and striking in cidents of my life : I am now an old man, and for gfty years or more my life has been a humdrum affair, I can re call nothing during all this long time that is worthy of mention or remembrance. During the win ter I have generally spent my time in town, and the rest of the year on my estate, and for this portion of my life, this is all I have to 'say. Whetber this in diference to placing ahbigber es timate upon this portion of my life results from old age, which is said to be oblivious to recent and passing events, I do not know, but I do know, that the incidents of my boyhood and early man ood pzss before me as vividly as if thev had occurred but yester day. I remember my boyhood home, my boyhood sports, my boyhood strifes, sorrows, and trou bles, with distinct vividness. They are now passing before me, as steadily and as connectedly as the rolling canvass of the panorama. I remember my mbther, pale, fragile, and sickly. I remember her death and burial, as the great est sorrow of my life. 1 rememn Iber my brother, my eldest and only brother, who inherited tbe constitution, but" not the temper and disposition of our mother. He was weak in constitution and petulant, iraszible and exact Iing in his temper. He was not lovable, yet, I loved him. Hie weak and delicate constitutiorn prevented him from being sent Sfromn home to school, while I, be. oing rather more able and stout ms was sn off so wenspntihnt litth of our boyhood and manhood to gether. After my schooi days were over, I came back to our home, fully resolved to offer all the tenderneEs of my heart to my suffering brother, I did so, but it was not accepted in the spirit in which it was offered. On one oc casion, he spurned my offer and* charged me with hypocrisy, with e secretly 'desiring his dpath that I might inherit from our father his f estate. I had never thought of such an idea and was immeasurably r ehocked. But how strange and mysterious are the workings of t the buman heart. The unnatural thought took root in my mind, 8 and I reasoned why should one brother inherit the wealth, titles and position of the common father, and the other be cast.off to make his fortune as be could ? I was It shocked that it had entered my mind, but I could not banish it. It had effected a lodgment there. I had just arrived at my majority. Being the youngest child my mother had bequeathed to me her little patrimony, and my father t who was my trustee had proffered to turn it over to me. I resolved to accept it and leave England forever. My chum at Cambridge, was William Henry Lyttleton, the son of the Governer of the Province of South Carolina, and since his re turn to his home he had repeat edly invited me to visit him and I resolved to do so, little caring t where I migbt go,.so I left En gland. Bidding an affectionate farewell to my brother, whom I never expected to see again, I sail ed for the town of Charlestown. Upon my arrival, I found the place all astir with military pre parations. A messenger hadjust reached the Governor, from the commandant of Fort Prince George, in the Cherokee nation, that the Indiams, enraged by the killing of some of their warriors returning from assisting the En glish in Canada, by the people of Virginia, as they were passing through that Province. After they had been making war for the whites, they regarded it as a great wrong, and being unable or unn illing to discriminate thbey were revenging themselves on the people of South Carolina. Already numbers of familIes, men, women and children were massacred in the most revolting manoer, and the fort itself was most seri ously threatened..The command ant seemed to have no doubt that a terrible Indian war was Lrew ing. Governor Lyttleton had or dered all the troops under hiM comn mand to rendezvous at the Con garee. The more peaceable and right minded of the Indians, hear ing of these preparations and de precating the conduct of their more furious warriors, were anx ious if possible to avert a wvar, and thirty or more of their chiefs and wise men, headed by Attakullakul la, the chief of all the Cherokees, had just arrived in Charlestown to have a coundil. Being upon intimate terms with the Governor and his household, I was fortu nately permitted to be -present at this interview. They were the first Indians I had ever seen. They were dressed in buck skin unting shirts, leggins and moc casins, fancifully em broidered with beads, with nicely dressed buffalo robes thrown over their shoulders, no twa, however, being decorated alike, but each in remarkable taste and well adapted to his form. They were almost remarkable, and in many respects a noble looking set of men. Tall, straight and athletic: and possessing all the grace and ease of motion of the most accomplished courtiers. Even at this length of time, I remem ber distinctly their appearance, and caIl call some of tbtir beau ti ful and euphonious names. There were Attakullak ulla, the great chief, Occonostota, Skiagnesta', a tavorite chief with the w~ hites, Corane, the raven, Sinnawa, the the hawks . head, Owasta, Yor alehe, Yahoma, of Keowee, and Canachugh, the head beloved, and Medicine, man, whbose striking ap pearance riveted my attention at* once, and who will be one of the chief personages of this narrative. he conem-en.e wasopened by the -overnor in a rude and dictatorial nariner. He stated to the In lians that he was aware of all the LCts of hostility -of which their )eople had been guilty, and like vise those which they were con emplating, enumerating some of bem, and added that be would oon be in their country with his rny, when he would let them :now his comnmandq, and the satis ction which he required, which ie would certainly take, if it was efused. As they had come to )harlestown to treat with him, hey should go home in safety, ,nd not a hair of their heads hould be touched, but as be had any warriors in arms, in dif erent parts of the province, he vould not be answerable for what hould happen to them, unless hey kept witl him. After this peech was ended, Occonostola vbo was distinguished by the iame of the great warrior of the 'ecrokees began to speak, but the xovernor rudely waived him back leclaring that he would have no alk in vindication of his people, ,or any proposal with regard to >eace. I saw indignation flash rom the eyes of every chieftain n the chamber, and simultaneously Irawing themselves 'to their full iight, and wrapping their robes xround them, one by one they racefully strode away from the ouncil chamber. A few days after the conference, be Governor set out for the Con aree, his place of rendezvous, and t his request .1 gladly accom )ainied him. With the command >f the Governor the Cherokees narched, apparently contented, )ut in fact burning with fury. Yhen we arrived at the Congaree, ,he Indians were made priEoners, Ld put under a captain's guard. fy sense of rigLt as well as of xpediency,' was shocked by this ourse ot the Governor, aud I was rresistably drawn to them. The nanner, appearance and bearing >f Can ach ugh, the great medicine nan, attracted me more than any >ne of the others. He was an old nan, and straight as an arrow. le was attired with remarkable :are and taste. The only appear nee of ornament was a small >uck skin pouch suspended upon is left breast, and ornamented vith tastily assorted beads and ;old trinkets in the most ex uisite manner, and whiclyseemed o contain. some unyielding sub. itance about the size of one's~ and. Canachugh seemed to have ~ttracted also the notice of the ;oldiers, o:- more p1robably the >eautIful ornament which ho wore, rnd many were the surmises as to ts contents. Many inquiries were made with regard to it, but be ~rated them all -with sublime in lifference. On the first day's march from he Congaree, one of his guards: wvho could no longer repress his ~uriosity, stet.lthily stepping up eind the medicine man, grasped he pendent pouch and adroitly ifted it from his person. In the winkling of an eye, Canachugh insheathing his scalping knife, ~urned around, and was in the ct of plunging it in the breast o: he fool-hardy trespasser. .I was tanding by the soldier, wvhen the xssault wvas committed, and real *zing at once, the danger in which be stood, grasping with one hand Lhe abstracted* pouch, and witb the other hurling him beyond the reaeb of the medicine man's gleam g knife,I held out to him his amu et and said: "Let the medicine man think." In amoment,bis knif( was sheathed, and with a look o: the tenderest affection, he acceptec he pouch from my hands, anc placed it again upon his breast. After this, the closest intimacy sprang up between us which con inued until his death. (To BE CONTINUED.) If Satan sees a man idle, he will be sure to offer him a job.

These w( colonial exhibitsare full of tremen- gi dous possibilities more startling ca than the finished certainties of the M grand old mother-land- But I do not intend to go into that matter nc this week, in a little while the ex hibits of England and her colonies ti< will come in for a fair share of atten ta tion ; but I desire to wait till every-it thing is finished to see what is f most worthy of report. There are ra many things- in this exhibition at which, in a review of this kind, can " be brought under no general classi- t fication and yet to the general 1, reader are matters of surpassing in- n< terest,-one of the most beautiful wi and pleasing being the artificial k flower show, near the end of the t south wing. France has long been at famous in this exquisite branch of fo art, and yet in this delightfu~l ex- di hibition she seems to have surpassed m herself. After wandering for hoursmc through splendid avenues decorated h< with costly furniture, and rooms hE covered with those wonderful Gobe- te lins, the miracles of the weavers' art; after being dazzled by jewelry and diamonds, both delighted and of shocked by paintings and statuary, to it is an indescribable relief to come or to this sylvan bower and reve.1 in C delights, which he who spake as s man never spake hath declared sur- a passed Solomon in all his glory. fo Here everything is beautiful and gi ood; not one thing mars the sweet cl~ e or harmony of the scene around you; a on every side are nature's loveliest hc and purest emblems, it needs but of the soft sweep of the breeze to en- ro able to catch the perfume, and as th you look at the gaudy butterflies a resting on the rosebuds and the m lilies, you forget for a moment the cc great Exhibition and its surround- at t fairy maizes of the Island of Tran quil Delights. For a moment atj least you rest secure and happy, of surrounded by these lovely emblems th of purity and peace. Your wife or fo your daughter may be sitting by e~ your side, and you feel no blush tia mantling to your cheeks like that of which you have experienced in the gi noble galleries of the Exposition io contemplating those works which M Ithe blase Bohemians of the press m denominate the highest expositions ar of art. In one case is a cluster of ki snowdrops surrounded by lilies of pi the valley, moss roses and violets, b] rich verbenas and pansies with w, wings like gaudy butterflies, rival N nature in their exquisite beauty and a loveliness; the leaves have that at rich soft velvety look, as though es the supreme ruler of the universe as in his happiesa mood when he inted them, for you can hardly iize for a moment that they are 3 work of human hands. It is re that the genius of women ines out superlative and glorious, d an hours' communion in this ry bower brings you nearer to ture and nature's God than all a pictures that were ever painted canvass or all the statues that re ever carved in stone. It is t only the exhibition of flowers tich is worthy of attention, but ,ph a rare collection of fruits has dom blessed mortal eyes, purple :1 gelden grapes rich with the rm bloom of the southern sun og in tempting clusters from the Les, luscious plums, apricots, cher s and strawberries are there fresh I bright as if just gathered from a gardens of Hesperedes, but you ght linger here all day and never b tired. A few steps further ngs us to a new revelation of ; it is the dress department licated exclusively to the glory I adornment of woman. It may the vanity of Vanities, but there no denying that it is very beau al. It was only the other morn that I went down at daylight to Great Central Market of Paris find myself in the midst of a e such as I had never seen- be e; the whole place swarmed with n and women, different in looks, axacter and language from any be found elsewhere. These re the men and women of the rricades. coarse, hard-featured d strong, the food on which olution feeds and the stalwart n on which communism relies. I )ked at the women, with waists' e butter tubs and skins like tan rk, with hoarse voices and un mpt heads, and remembered with lef all the onslaughts I have made dressmakers and milliners away the olden time. I have said ty unkind things in my day ainst the fellow that -invented rsets, but I now publicly recant. take it all back, and from this ae forth I shall regard him as one the greatest benefactors of the e. Oh! what waists. those mar t women had, what hands, what t, what - ;no, I will gon rther, but if this be your natural >man just as she was created, ve me the cultivated article. I a swallow Worth .with his enor )us trains, Demorest with her unces and furbelows, Mareval's wers and Donegan's corsets, but market woman for Joseph. But to return, the dress exhihi n -is exceedingly beautiful and sty. If you think of going to see it might be well to leave your fe and your daughter at home, e if they once get a sight of those vishing toilettes-and your bal ce at your bankers is not large etter for you that a millstone d been tied about your neck and at you were drowned in the.sea" .London and New York you hear >thing but Worth, Worth, Worth, 2y there are dozens of dress-ma rs here exhibiting, who could ,e designed an extra glory for e robes of the Queen of Night, .d have prepared a wedding dress e Queen Mab..that would have iven the fairies crazy. By all sans go and see the dress depart at, but as I said before, leave ur wife and your daughter at ~me. Tell them that you have the adache ox neuralgia and don't in ad to go to the Exhibition that ,y, and then slip off quietly or you e a ruined man. Probably no place in the world ~ers such superlative advantages the student of comparative anat 2y as Paris.
