The last 01 dit is that a Radical newspaper is,
soon to be started in Columbia.
Washing Machines.
The various patents, at various prices, vaiying
from five to fifty dollars, are being exhibited in

Southern School Books.
CoL William Bingham, of the well-known Bingham
School, of MebaneviDe, N. C., has in press
an English Grammar. Judging from the success
of his Latin Grammar, recently published, we expect
the English Grammar to be a success.
Literary.
The Rebellion Record, published in Washington,
has reached its sixty-third number; and seems
likely to go on for a good while yet
? - ? ? ?1 1
A Mrs. A. P. Hill, of Oeorgia, has compuea a
family recipe book, which she dedicates to "young
and inexperienced Southern housekeepers."
Those who specially enjoyed Ik. Marvel's Reveries
of a 3achdor, Dream-Life, etc., some years
ago, will be pleased to learn that Mr. Mitchell (Ik.
Marvel) has just published a new book, called Rural
Studies. It is among the last announcements,
but we have not seen it yet
Reaping Machines.
Columbia is just now a good deal exercised about
Reapers, and Washing-Machines.
Of the former, trials have been made, in reaping
some fields near the city, and committees have adjudged
their preferences. It appears that Wood's
Reaper, and the Buck-eye Reaper, are the two
that claim most attention. The Buck-eye Reaper
has been preferred as more compact and lighter;
while Wood's reaper, which has just taken the
prize medal at the Paris Exposition, is said to be
more adaptable to uneven ground and to unequal
trmmth of straw. Thev are drawn by two horses
e>* v " ? ? v
or mules, and do the work of many reapers with
the old scythe and cradle.
Both these Reapers are of Yankee patent, and
all the better for that; for to economize labor is the
one thing in which the Yankee genius excels the
world.
The Paris Exhibition.
Ti^e world is beginning, after over a month of
looking, to form some opinion about the great Exposition
universelle, now going on in Paris.
The Uoited States has made a most pitiable
failure in almost everything; and the American
who desires to see his country well represented
there, meets with humiliation at every step, through
the iinmensa building. In one thing, however,
America appears to be ahead of the world?pianos.
She has also done well in car engines and in brass
musical instruments.
The English press?at least the correspondent of
the Timet so represents it?have been compelled
to admit that England comes off inferior to France
in machinery, textile fabrics, woolens, cotton and
silk, furniture, line art, and indeed in almost everything.
This makes John Bull very indignant of
course; but he will simply be obliged to submit
France appears to be ahead in everything almost
Prussia, we believe, takes a prize upon her needlegun.
Sewing Machines.
Among the attractions that the domestic ladyvisitors
from the country will find in Columbia, sewing
machines are prominent They vary in price
from ten to two hundred dollars. One can get a
good machine for ten dollars?one that will do all
kinds of sewing and do them well; but of course it
is not supplied with all the conveniences of speed
ni>otno? that characterize the same patent of
higher prioes. The machine at $25 will do nearly
everything that the hundred dollar machine will
do, and do it nearly as welL Every good domestic
husband will now get a sewing machine, to save
his wife the wear and tear of the old-time drudgery
of sewing. With a good machine, a single hand
can do the work of several needles and do it in
some better cases, than the needles can; though
t there is a good deal of sewing that a machine can
never be made to do, which must still be done with
needles.
A good housekeeper, supplied with a sewing machine,
a washing machine, and a cooking range,
can carry on an extensive menage and still have
ample leisure to read and cultivate the graces,
which privileges are usually cut out of woman's life
after she is installed as mater familias, on the oldtime
plan of doing these things.
The Poetical.
We are in receipt of a new Southern poem issued
by a Southern publishing-house.
Messrs. Nichols, Gorman and Neathery, of Raleigh,
have just issued Pluto; the Origin of Mint
Julep. It is an octavo of 35 pages, finely printed,
and handsome in general appearance.
The Author, "Frank Dashmore," makes his
bow-authorial in the free-and-easy style of the
poem itself.
The story is the myth of Pluto's love for Minthe;
Proserpina's jealousy, who transforms Minthe into
mint; and the despair of the rascally old rake of
a husband. The author devises a court of the
gods, to propose a relief for Pluto's grief; and the
result is that, at the suggestion of Venus, a drink
. is concocted into which is put the essence of the
f ' vegetable damsel, sweets of divers kinds, such as
loves and lips and quintessences of all delights;
and this, beverage is given to the disconsolate old
"loveyer" who takes it, with decided effects of solace
and delight.
~ 1 *
The style is tree, jaunty, variaDie ana racy.?
The following scene will illustrate one of its points j
"When Mrs. Pluto had had a huff with her husband
about this girl Minthe, and xnadame had gone up
to her mother's about it, Pluto enjoys the respite:
"I am sorry to say
Tiiat during her stay ~
King Pluto behaved in a very bad way!
For he jumped in his boat,
Not caring a groat,
And, fast as the waves ana waters could float
Hastened back to the side of his MurrHE.again.
To forget in her smiles all remembrance of pain.
She saw he was troubled, and, innocent child,
Tried her prettiest fancies his grief to beguile.
She laughed and she sported, she dancea and she
sung,
Till weary and rosy, half breathless, she flung
Her beautiful form on the grass at his feet,
And lay panting and roguish, provokingly sweet,*'
? and so forth.
The following is the aecount of the metamorphosis,
and Ovid has done worse:
"She ceased, and through her tender frame,
b' A fierce, convulsive shudder came,
And languidly each lovely limb
Seemed melting into shadows dim;
Till as some bubble bright and fair,
A moment glistens in the air,
Then vanishes in rosy spray,
So, softly calm she passed away.
And on the bosom of the king
Where late her gentle head had rested,
There lay a little fragrant thing
Whose beauty rare, its worth attested P
When the "fair hands of the Goddess of Love"
had prepared the julep, she presented it to the
grim and sombre Pluto;
"And as ho drank, the liquor ran
Throughout his frame, his feelings warming,
And with celestial power began
His soul from grief to bliss transforming.
And still the influence wilder grew,
And wilder yet, until heknew
Beatitudes and joys intense,
And happiness surpassing sense.
And every quivering nerve was strung,
And every vein was madly leaping,
His nature's inmostdepths were wrung,
In ecstasy his senses sleeping."
The charms of ready wit and graceful allusion
l
run and sparkle throughout the poem. We have
not room for more extracts; besides, to bo appreciated
the poem should be read as a whole.
We do not know what the price is; hut it can be
ordered by mail NOTES
OF TRAVEL.
Buffalo, N. Y., June 4, 1867.
Dear Enquirer: There are many wonderful
things to be seen in Chicago. I was there about
ten days, and tried to see as much as I could, but
still feel that I saw but little of this wonderful city.
You will remember that thirty years ago there
were only a few houses on the spot where this
mighty city stands. It is no w the greatest city in the
North-west. In some respects, the natural formation
of the site of the city is most fortunate. The
beautiful lake Michigan is a sea to Chicago. Then
there is the Chicago river, which is a most accommodating
stream. About a half mile from the mouth,
the river divides into two prongs which go off almost
at right angles, running nearly parallel with
the lake shore for eight miles. Along both sides
of the main river, as well as on each side of its
two prongs,* for miles, stands the city of Chicago.
In front, the lake is alive with vessels; while at
almost any point in the city, you can see the tall
masts of ships, like trees moving, in the midst
- - - ? .1 /VI i
of tHe city, wnne on me uDservawry uuc vu?y5
I wrote in my journal, the following short 'sentence:
"/see three seas." One was the boundless
blue lake on the east; another was the prairie
on the West, the other was the city between.
There are some natural disadvantages connected
with this place. Chicago was first built in the
raud and water common to this prairie region.?
But these difficulties have been overcome. The
whole surface of the earth under the city has been
raised some six or eight feet. Dirt has been dragged
in, and this solid, dry elevation secured.?
Many large houses which were built in the mud
be tore this elevation took place, have also been elevated.
Tha. Tremont House is a brick building,
180 feet square and five stories high. This huge
building was lifted from its foundation and elevated
about eight feet Whole blocks of buildings
have been elevated at once. This is done by
means of screws worked under the foundation.?
Brick buildings are not only lifted up in this way,
but also moved from one place to another. It is
no uncommon* thing to see a large wooden house
drawn along the streets by two horses. I was going
down one of the streets one day ,and met a large
two stoiy house about 60 or 70 feet long. I saw a
lady sitting in the upper story reading at the window.
They do not pretend to remove any thing
out of, or leave the house when it is to be moved.
These'things may seem hard to believe, but they
are so.
There is another strange thing here. The people
use the water from the lake for drinking.?
Since the city has become ?o large, the water next
to the coast and in the river is quite tiltby. Jtsut
still the people drink pure water from the lake.
They have cut a tunnel from the city, under the
lake, for two miles. The water is let into the tunnel
at this distance from the shore and conducted
into the city.
There are 150 churches in Chicago, besides many
stations and missions. There tare 14 Baptist
Churches. The Baptists have the most costly
building in the place. It is the edifice of the First
Baptist Church, in which the Baptist Anniversaries
were held. This building is of stone. It has
already cost about $200,000, and will require $15,000
more to complete it The organ in this
church cost $12,000.
There were about 3,500 Baptist visitors at the
Anniversaries. It was one of largest religious gathering
ever known on this continent
The secret of Northern success is energy and industry.
There are but few loiterers in northern
cities. Almost every man is a man of business,
and every body is in a hurry. In the streets you
will frequenty see men, women and children running.
The principal streets are thus alive with
the busy multitude. G.

PHILADELPHIA UBIYEBSXTY
)F MEDICDTK AM DHUttOERY.
|\HE Philadelphia University of Medicine and
L Surgery waa organized in 1848. Chartered by
le Legislature, February 26,1863. Name changed
y a legislative enactment to the Eclectic Medical
lollege of Philadelphia in 1860. In 1863- ft pur*
hased the Pennsylvania Medical College, estate
ished in 1842; ana the Philadelphia Medical Coljge,
which had previously been merged Into the
'ennsylvania -Medical College. In 1864 lipurhasea
the Penn Medical University. The Trus3es
of the separate schools united, petitioned, and
btained a special act of the Legislature, conaoliating
these institutions and chungingtheir names
a that of the Philadelphia University of Medicine
nd Surgery, March 15, 1865. All these various
cts are published in the statutes of Pennsylvania,
"he cost of the building and museum was over
tie hundred thousand dollars. It will be observd
that the University, as now organized, is the
sgal representative of the four Medical Colleges
hat it has absorbed. It is a liberal school of med:ine,
confined to no dogma, nor attached to my
aedical clique; but embraces in its teachings evrything
of value to the profession. .
Sessions.?It has two full sessions each year,
ommencing on the 1st of October, and oontinuag
until the 1st of January as its first session, and
rom the 1st of January to the 1st of April as its
econd; the two constituting one full course of
sctures. It has also a summer session, common*
Lng the 1st of April and continuing until August
3r the preparatory branches, such as Latin, Greek,
lathematlcs, Botany, Zoology, Chemistry, Anafcmy,
Physiology, etc. Tisket*.?Tickets
to the full oonme of lectures
120, or $60 for each, session. For the summer .or
reparatory coarse $25. Graduating fee $30. To
id young men of moderate means, the University
as issued five hundred scholarships, which are sola
o first course students, for |75, and to second
ourse students and clergymen for $50, each contituting
the holder a life member, with the pertetual
privileges of the lectures, and all the teachngsof
the school. The only additional fees area
early dissecting and matriculating ticket. each of
rhich is $5. .
The Advantages of Scholar steps.?The student
lolding a scholarship can enter the College at any
Lme during the year, attend as long as he chooses,
nd re-enter the institution as frequently as dairecL
It requires no previous reading or study to enter
he University on scholarships, nence, all private
nlttpn fees are saved.
Students, by holding scholarships, can prosecute
ither business a part of the time. ' :'i
The candidate for graduation can present himelf
at any time, and receive his degree as soon as
qualified. v.: . .
In case a student should hold a scholarship and
tot be able to attend lectures, it can be transferred
o another, thus preventing any loss. '7'. . *
Parents, guardians, or friends of students wlshng
to purchase scholarships for them a year or
core before their attendance at the University,
an secure them by advancing one-half the prioe,
nd paying the balance when the student enters,
^hysiclans and benevolent men can bestow great
tenefit upon poor young men, by presenting them
, scholarship, and thos enabling them to obtain an
lonorable profession.
The Faculty embraces seventeen eminent pfaylcians
and surgeons. The University has assolated
with it a large hospital clinic, where every
orm of medical and surgical disease isoperated
n and treated in the presence of the class. <
College Building.?The College building, located
n Ninth Street, soath of Wslnpt, is the finest ih
he city. Its front is collegiate gothic, and is
lorned with embettlements and embrasures, preanting
a novel, bold and beantifhlappesmoe^- ?
Che facade is of brown stone, ornamented by two
owers, rising to the elevation of eightyfeet, and
rowned with an embattled parapet. The bulldog
contains between fifty and sixty rooms, all
upplied with water, gas, and every other couVelience
that modern improvement can contribute
o facilitate medical instruction. Only five hnnIred
scholarships will be issued, and as two hunLred
and fifty are now sold, those who wish to seu
re one should do so at once. Money can be renitted
bv exnress. or a draft or check sent on snv
National Bank in the United States, when the
cholarahip will be returned by mail, signed by
he President of the Board or Trustees, Jos. ?.
risher, Esq., and the Dean of the Faculty, W.
Jaine, M. D. All orders for scholarships or other
