Thousands all over the land testify to the merits of this medicine. Mrs. Sarah Burroughs, of 218 Eighth street, South Boston, writes : “ My hus band has taken Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, for Dyspepsia and torpid liver, and has been greatly benefited." j A Confirmed Dyspeptic, C.

The recent quiet and successful ab olition of slavery in Brazil is of inter est here, where negro emancipation was consummated under far different circumstance, and where it has been, for some years, productive of results, from the like of which, the Brazilians will be fortunately spared From the Rio de Janeiro News, It is gathered that the results of emancipa tion Jia ve already been most encour- agiug The law wept into effect just at the time when the coffee crop had to be gathered, and the planters were obliged at once to give the freedmen fair wage's and good treatment. The freedmen, therefore, were able to start in their new life under much better auspices than our former slaves, who found agri.'vj'ttire ami industries at a name. ^.JPames Laurie, A;>P«e : *father, was a farmer, who lived on andowiTeci , H' 0 ' 1 ’ ^‘ t ,uc ’ r masters im poverished and dispirited, and from the suddenness of the change, indis posed to make terms, and be recon ciled to the new order of things. In Brazil, on the contrary, all the industries were in a flourishing con dition, and there was work for all. The loimer slave holder was com pelled, by mere force of circumstances to readily acquiesce in the new state of affairs, and help his former slaves in the growth of their self-reliance. N« matter in what condition aboli tion left Uxs American slaves, the Brazilian siave lias had opened to him an era of prosperity. Another feature of aflairs in Brazil is that there has been a large influx into the cultivted districts of poor whites from the mining regions, in search of em ployment. There were noopportuni- 'rracsGsj: I THE FARMERS' INSTITUTE ORANGEBURG. AT SISTERHOODS IN THE PRESBYTE RIAN CHURCH. A NOL.D1ER S TRAGIC DEATH. If there be one class of the Ameri can people who have a deeper inter est in the success of the effort thai is being made by Democrats to rechice; the tariff*, it is the fanners. The products of the farm are in no way» protected by tariff laws. Wheat, corn, cotton, potatoes, and *U other agricultural products are sold in the open markets of the world, and the farmers of the United States must' compete with-those of every other* country. The price of a pound of cot ton is not fixed at Charleston or New*j York, but in Liverpool, and it is not’ what the farmers in this country de mand. but what those of Egypt, In dia and other places are willing toj take. This industry whjch is far greater than another and in which there are more people employed than all others put together,derives no ben efit from a protective tariff. Nothing Miat the farmer sells is protected, while nearly everything he buys is taxed. For nearly a quarter of a century the agriculturists have submitted io y system of taxation for the benefit or the manufacturers, which has ruined a great many of them, and if con-- tinued will ruin them all. Farmeri< are worth much less now’ than they were before the war, while the cost, of tilling is much greater.

A Chief Justice at Last. Mr. Fuller was confirmed by the Senate on last Friday as Chief Jus tice of the United States by a vote of 41 to 20. The.Republicans have never had » shadow of excuse for opposing or delaying the nomination, and the vote had as well been taken on thq day that the President sent the nomi nation to the Senate. That the con- firnmtlftii has bepp delayed so long is due solely to the fact that certain extreme Republicans hoped to find some excuse for postponing action on the nomination to the next session, hoping iu the meanwhile that a Ue- publipaq wovjld be elected President. Appropos to the abolution of sla very in Brazil it will be interesting to bear what favor it meets from the self exiled Confederates, who, at the close of the war, were allowed to pre-empt lapd* OP *h,e outskirts of the city of Santarem, which is situated on the river Amazon, about four hundred miles from Para. Many of the original exiles were idle, dissolute and worthless, the dregs pf the Southern army. They pre-empted the lands, were warmly welcomed by the natives, and lived upon the rations given them by the authorities. They soon wore out their welcome, and gradually drifted away and scattered through the country. There were, however, among them some few fami lies of very diflerent stamp—men of the highest respecta bility, who had been men of property and inilpence iu their respective states, but who had been almost ruined by the result of the war. They were men who, placed anywhere, would by education, industry and Belter for Farmers, Than the Politics of Demagogues. The Farmers’ Institute which was held at Orangeburg on Wednesday and Thursday of last week was the first meeting of the kind in South Car olina that has been conducted ou the i plan which has proved so successful in Michigan and other Norther States and the result has justified the high est expectations of thoae who intro duced the syslem liere. The meeting ^ was held under the general directions of the State Board .of Agriculture ad dresses'were delivered by professors iu the Sfate College of Farming, the farmers heard these addresses and discussed them in the light of their practical experience, and contributed essays of/heir own which were full of interest and value to themselves, aud to their professional co-laborers as well, no doubt. It is an excellent scheme, and one that has come to stay, iu South Caro lina, we feel assured. The farmers who were at Orangeburg voted the first Institute “a complete success,” and that will lie flic verdict wherever the report of the proceedings are care fully read. The range of the subjects disevssed was two wide, indeed, to permit the several papers to be re viewed even briefly, but this variety was itself an important feature of the proceedings. Every farmer who was there J)>»ard something to interest himself particularly, to instruct him, and to broaden his knowledge of the work in which his capital and ener gies are engaged. He will be a better farmer for having attended the Insti tute, and his neighbors who did not attend will share the benefits of his knowledge, sooner or later.

Dr. Hull, of New York, also advocated this new move as a measure of great practical and pressing moment. The Rev. Cravan, of Philadelphia; the Rev.

It follows, then it will it will not bo long before the Presby terians will have an organization or order of holy women in the Church who, after some years of training, shall devote their lives to .church work as do the Sisters of Charity aud Mer cy. This shows that the Presbyterians do not propose to be outdone by any other denomination of Chriscudom.as regards women. At the general con* ference of the Methodists, the propos al for such an organization of self-de nying women was received with high favor, while the Reformed Presbyte rians at their cenventiou put them selves fully on record as in favor of women as deacons by adopting the report that nothing could be found iti the inspired word or the history of the Church against it.
