A Curious Pleasure Excursion on the Comet. Mark Twain sends the following advertise? ment to the New York Herald, announcing the engagement of the comet for a special trip of pleasure among the celestials. We have pri? vate information from Mr. Barnum that he intends delaying the departure of the comet for a few days, in order to take on board a lot of carpet-baggers from South Carolina, who are alarmed at the recent attitude of President Grant towards their class, and are desirous of seeking fresh fields and pastures new in which to ply their peculiar vocation: ADVERTISEMENT.. This is to inform the public that in connec? tion with Mr. Barnum I have leased the comet for a term of years; aud I desire also to solicit the public patronage in favor of a beneficial enterprise wnieh we have in view. We propose to fit up comfortable, and even luxurious, accommodations in the comet for as many persons as will honor us with their pat? ronage, and make an extended excursion among the heavenly bodies. We shall prepare 1,000, 000 state rooms in the tail of the comet, (with hot and coKfe water, gas, looking glass, para? chute, umbrella, &c, in each,) and shall con? struct more if we meet with a sufficiently gen? erous encouragement. We shall have billiard rooms, card rooms, music rooms, bowling alleys and many spacious theatres ; and on the main deck we propose to have a driving park, with upwards of 10,000 miles of roadway in it. We shall publish daily newspapers also. DEPARTURE OF THE COMET. The comet will leave New York at 10 p. m. on the 20th inst., and therefore it will be de? sirable that the passengers be on board by eight at the latest, to avoid confusion in getting under way. . It is not known whether passports will be necessary or not, but it is deemed best that passengers provide them, and so guard against all contingencies. No dogs will be allowed on board. This rule has beeu made in deference to the existing state of feeling re? garding these animals and will be strictly ad? hered to. The safety of the passengers will in all ways be jealously looked to. A substantial iron railing will be put all around the comet, and no one wil1 be allowed to go to the edge and look over unless accompanied by either my partner or myself. THE POSTAL SERVICE will be of the completest character. Of course the telegraph, and the telegraph only, will be employed, consequently, friends occupying state rooms, 20,000,000 and even 30,000,000 miles apart, will be able to send a message and receive a reply inside of eleven days. Night messages will be half rate. The whole of this vast postal system will be under the personal superintendence of Mr. Hale, of Maine.? Meals served in state rooms charged extra. Hostility is not apprehended from any great planet, but we have thought it best to err on the safe side, and therelore have provided a proper number of mortars, siege guns and boarding pikes. History shows that small, isolated communities, such as the people of remote islands, are prone to be hostile to stran? gers, and so the same may be the case with THE INHABITANTS OP STARS of the tenth or twentieth magnitude. We shall in no case wantonly offend the people of any star, but shall treat all alike with urbanity ana kindness, never conducting ourselves to? ward an asteroid after a fashion which we could not venture to assume toward Jupiter or Saturn. I repeat that we shall not wantonly offend any star; but at the same time we shall promptly resent any injury that may be done us, or any insolence offered us, by parties or governments residing in any star in the firmament. Al? though averse to the shedding of blood, we shall still hold this course rigidly and fearless? ly, not only toward single stars, but toward constellations. We shall hope to leave a good impression of America behind us in every na? tion we visit, from Venus to Uranus. And, at all events, if we cannot inspire love we shall, at least, compel respect for our country wher? ever we go. We shall take with us, free of charge, A GREAT FORCE OF MISSIONARIES and shed the true light npon all the celestial orbs which, physically aglow, are yet morally in darkness. Sunday schools will be estab? lished wherever practicable. Compulsory edu? cation will also be introduced. The comet will visit Mars first and then pro? ceed to Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn. Parties connected with the government of the District of Columbia and with the former city government of New York, who may desire to inspect the rings, will be allowed time and every facility. Every star of prominent mag? nitude will be visited, and time allowed for excursions to points of interest inland. ' THE DOG STAR has been stricken from the programme. Much time will be spent in the Great Bear, and, in? deed, in every constellation of importance. So, also, with the Sun and Moon and the Milky,. Way, otherwise the Gulf Stream of the skies. Clothing suitable for wear in the sun should be provided. Our programme has been so ar? ranged that we will seldom go more than 100,.-, 000,000 of miles at a time without stopping at some star. This will necessarily make the stoppage frequent and preserve the interest of the tourist. Baggage checked through to any point on the route. Parties desiring to make only a part of the proposed tour, and thus save expense, may stop over at any star they choose and wait for the return voyage. After visiting all the most celebrated stars and constellations in our system and personally inspecting the remotest sparks that even the most powerful telescopes can now detect in the firmament, we shall proceed with good heart upon A STUPENDOUS VOYAGE of discovery among the countless whirling worlds that make turmoil in the mighty wastes of space that stretch their solemn solitudes, their unimaginable vastuess billions upon bil? lions of miles away beyond the farthest verge of telescopic vision, till by comparison the lit? tle sparkling vault we used to gaze at on Earth shall seem like a remembered phosphorescent flash of spangles which some tropical voyager's prow stirred into her for a single instant, and which ten thousand miles of phosphorescent seas and tedious lapse of time had siuce dimin? ished to an incident utterly trivial in his recol? lection. Children occupying seats at the first table will be charged full fare. FIRST CLASS FARE from the Earth to Uranus, including visits to the Sun and Moon and all principal planets on the route, will be charged at the low rate of $2 for every 50,000,000 miles of actual travel. A great reduction will be made where parties wish to make the round trip. This comet is new and in thorough repair, and is now on hor first voyage. She is confessedly the fastest on the line. She makes 20,000,000 miles a day, with her present facilities; but, with a picked American crew and good weather, we are con? fident we can get 40,000,000 out of her. Still we shall never push her to a dangerous speed, aud we shall rigidly prohibit racing with other comets. Passengers desiring to diverge at any point or return, will be transferred to other comets. We make close connections at all principal points with all reliable lines. Safety ean be depended upon. It is not to be denied that the heavens are infested with OLD RAMSHACKLE COMETS that have not been inspected or overhauled in 10,000 years, and which ought long ago to have been destroyed or turned into hail barges, but with these we have no connection whatever. Steerage passengers not allowed abaft the main hatch. 1 Complimentary round trip tickets have been j tendered to Gen. Butler, Mr. Shepherd, Mr. Richardson and other eminent gentlemen, whose public services have entitled them to the rest and relaxation of a voyage of this kind. Parties desiring to make the round trip will have extra accommodation. The entire voyage will be completed, and the passengers landed in New York again on the 14th of De? cember, 1991. This is, at least, forty years quicker than any other comet can do it in. Nearly all the back pay members contemplate making the round trip with us in case their constituents will allow them a holiday. Every harmless amusement will be allowed on board, but no pools permitted on the run of the comet ?no gambling of any kind. All fixed stars will be respected by us, but such stars as seem to need fixing we shall fix. If it make3 trou? ble we shall be sorry, but firm. Mr. Coggia having leased his comet to us, she will no longer be called by his name, but by my partner's. N. B.?Passengers by pay? ing double fare will be entitled to a share in ail the new 3tars, suns, moons, comets, meteors and ^magazines of thunder and lightning we shall discover. Patent medicine people will take notice that j we carry bulletin boards and a paint brush along for use in the constel? lations, and are open to terms. Cremationists i are reminded that we are going straight to? ! some hot place?and are open to terms. To other parties our enterprise is a pleasure excur? sion, but individually we mean business. We shall fly our comet for all it is worth. for further particulars, or for freight or passage, apply on board, or to i my partner, but not to me, since I do not take charge of the comet until she is under weigh. It is necessary, at a time like this, that my mind should not be burdened with small busi? ness details. MARK TWAIN. Public Affairs in South Carolina? From the Washington Chronicle, a Republican paper, we clip the following editorial para? graphs regardiug the political condition of our State : "It will require many years and very radical changes in public sentiment for the citizens of South Carolina who still maintain their adhe? sion to the old Democratic, party to have any effective participation iu the control and des? tiny in public affairs. It is a notorious fact that there exists a lamentable state of corrup? tion among many of the present officers of that State, which is not creditable to either the party nominating or electing them. The Re? publican party of the nation has secured and guaranteed every measure of justice practicable for the four millions of recently-enfranchised citizens, and in the exercise of these rights it is due not only to the interests of the South and their future control, but due the Republican party that the greatest caution should be taken in the selection and election of none but men of pure character and tried honesty to offiee. "We are credibly informed that a very large majority of the whites of South Carolina arc willing to unite with the dominant party, and elect honest, able men to office, irrespective of party lines, adopting a square Republican plat? form. That this is absolutely necessary to in? sure reform, and to relieve the national Repub? lican party of the odium that has been brought upon it by the present office-holders in South Carolina, every fair-minded Republican must candidly admit. In South Carolina it is not a question of Republicanism or Democracy; it is one of good government and prosperity, or degradation and ruin. We say to the Repub? lican party of South Carolina that it is bring? ing the question of its capacity for self-govern? ment fairly before the American people, and that patience without hope must in time be? come exhausted. We therefore earnestly sug? gest the propriety of the majority in South Carolina electing to office the best men they can find, irrespective of race or previous poli? tics." S TnE Hotel of the Future.?The follow? ing is the translation of an article in a Berlin paper, which will convey au idea of the Ger : man estimate of the coming American Hotel: ?The latest American progress in building will be the "Mammoth Hotel," soon to be erected !in Chicago. The enormous hotel is to have a ; frontage of three English miles long, and a depth of six miles; the height of seventy-seven stories, will measure 3,4S0 feet from the ground floor to the roof. The hotel will have no stairs, but five hundred balloons will always be ready to take visitors up to their rooms. No room waiters are to be employed, but visitors will be served by a newly patented automatic, put up iin every bed room, who will do all shaving, shampooing, etc., to the guests by a very sim? ple and ingenious mechanism. Supposing the guest requires hot water, the automatic will be albe to call down stairs, "A bucket of water up to room No. 1,002,107," and the water will be up in seven seconds by a patented elevator. Half an hour before table d'hoic, instead of the ring? ing of bells, a gun (twenty four pounder) will be fired on each floor to call the guests to get ready for their meals. The tables in the din? ing rooms will be measured four miles each, attendance to be performed by twelve waiters on horseback on cither side of the table. Music during table d'hote will be played?gratis?by eight bands of seventy-seven men each. For the convenience of visitors a railway will be built on each floor, as well as telegraph offices. The price of one bed-room will be from one dollar to ten dollars. The cost of this building is estimated to be $80,000,000. The billiard room will contain nine hundred American, ninety-nine French and one English table, and, most of the visitors expected to be Americans, the billiard room will be fitted out with a spit? toon of one hundred feet in circumference. A Bloody Freak of a Steel Pen.?The Troy Press says: Yesterday afternoon Mr. J. W. Palmer, the well-known lawyer of this city, met with a most extraordinary accident, that at one time threatened very serious consequents. He had been using a steel pen of rather large dimensions, and on finishing his work had placed the pen behind his ear, using that de? licate organ as a pen-rack. At length, the pen being in such close proximity to the brain, evidently become charged with the subtle essence of thought, and gave a sudden spring. To prevent it from falling on the floor, Mr. Palmer brought his knees together with a quick, strong movement, and in so doing drove the pen its mil length, about an inch and a half, into the fleshy part of the thigh, piercing an artery. It required all his strength to draw out the steel, and when he did so the blood spurted clear across his office. The wound bled most profusely, but at length, by the as? sistance of friends, the blood was stopped, and Dr. McLeau was called, who dressed the wound. No real danger to the limb is apprehended, but Mr. Palmer is unable to walk this morn? ing, though it is believed he will be about again in a few days. Whether our good-look? ing friend had been engaged shortly before the accident in preparing some very wicked law document which excited the vengeful ire of his conscientious pen, or whether the pen was actuated by a savage thirst for blood, or simply J an uuhealthy hankering for red ink, we can? not now determine. It is said his office is now being thronged by agents offering for sale va-j rious kinds of new patent pen-racks. -m 9 m - ? A timid man wants to know "how to tell a mad dog."

Dodds, late member of Con gress from the First District of Ohio, tells a good story about a call he recently re? ceived at his office from a man who claimed to be an editor from Arkansas. He was a very seedy looking chap and appeared as though he had but recently come oft' from about a six weeks' spree. Bowing profoundly, then strik? ing an attitude, with one hand on his heart and 'the other extending a badly-used plug hat, he exclaimed with a dramatic air? "Have I the honor of addressing the Hon. Orzo J. Dodds?" "My name is Dodds, but I am no longer hon? orable," said the Colonel. "Not an honorable ? Dodds not an honorable ? Now, by St. Paul, when I can scan that honest face on which all the gods do seem to set their seal?('Green seal,' murmured Dodds to him? self)?I read nothing dishonorable." "That's right," said Dodds ; "never read any? thing dishonorable. But to business." "Yes, as you say, to business. I am a print? er?I might say, with no unbecoming blush, an editor. I am from the noble State of Ar? kansas, the only State, by the way, able and willing to support two governments at the same time. But have I been unfortunate. Much have I been tossed through the ire of cruel Juno, and?" "Juno how is it yourself," broke in the Col? onel. "Buffeted by the world's rude storm, you see me here a stranded wreck. Scarce three months past I left my office in charge of my worthy foreman and sought the peaceful vales and calm retreats of the Muskingum valley, where my childhood sported. Eeturning, I stopped in Cincinnati. I fell into evil compa? ny and?but why dwell on details? Enough that I arn?disheartened, ruined, broke? A mark for scorn to point her slow, unerring fin? ger at. As I was about to give up in despair, having given up everything else I had, I thought of you. Sir, I am here. You have not sent for me, but I have come! Your name, sir, is known and honored from one end of this great Eepublic to the other. It Glows in the stars, Refreshes in tho breeze, Warms in the sun, And blossoms on the fees. When the national Treasury was threatened by a horde of greedy Congressmen, you stood like a wall of adamant between the people and those infamous salary grabbers. Lend me a dollar!" "My dear sir," the Colonel hastened to ex? plain, "you mistake the case eutirely, I was one of the grabbers." "Yon were ?" (Grasping the colonel's hand warmly.) "So much the better ! Let me con? gratulate you that a parsiraonous public could not frighten you out of what was fair remuner? ation for you invaluable services. Iam glad that your pecuniary circumstances are so much better than I supposed. Make it two dollars !" And the Colonel did. It was the only clean thing left for him to do. Senator Robertson.?We had the pleas? ure, yesterday, of meeting Hon. T. J. Robert? son, United States Senator, in good health and cheerful spirits. He represents that the pub? lic opinion of the whole country has under? gone a great change towards the South gener? ally, and is taking the shape of a great national demand, that the evils of raisgovernmcnt and the outrages of official and legislative plunder? ing shall cease to exist in South Carolina. He mentioned some facts to us illustrative of this growing spirit, which are as startling in their unexpectedness as they are hopeful and en? couraging. Senator Robertson's name has frequently been mentioned in connection with the office of Governor. His election to the position would be quite acceptable to the Conservatives, as an earnest of honest administration and of the reign of justice and fairness, so far as they could be compassed in the present state of things by executive skill, vigor and honesty. He has, moreover, conciliated their good will by abstaining from any thing like political persecution. He has exerted his influence, in favor of measures of peace and concord. If placed in the position of Governor, we believe he might do the State some valuable service. But while earnestly desiring to do what he can for it, he is admonished by consideration of re? gard for his health to avoid everything like ex? citement. His health is now good and im? proving, but might be injuriously affected by entering into a canvass. He will not, there? fore, be likely to become a candidate for Gov? ernor.?Columbia Phoenix. ? The Massachusetts Humane Society has issued a card with these directions for restoring persons apparently drowned: "Convey the body to the nearest house, with head raised ; strip and rub dry; wrap in blankets; inflate the lungs by closing the nostrils with thumb and finger, and blowing into the mouth forci? bly, and then pressing with hand on the chest. Again blow in the mouth and press on the chest, and so ou for ten minutes, or until he breathes. Keep the body warm; extremities also. Continue rubbing; do not give up so long as there is any chance of success." ?

THE table of Sewing Machine sales for 1873, show that tho sales were follows: SINGER, - - - 232,444. Wheeler & Wilson, - 119,190. Domestic, - - - 40,114. Weed, - - - 21,709. Wilson, - - - 21,247. American Button Hole, 14,182. The tablo shows that sales of the Singer ex? ceed those of any othor Company, for the pe? riod named, by the number of 113,254 Machines, or nearly doublo those of any other Company. It may be furthor stated that the sales of 1873, as compared with those of 1872, show a relatively larger increase, beyond the sales of other makers, than of any other year. For in? stance, in 1872 we sold 45,000 Machines more than any other Company, whereas, in 1873, the sales wore 113,254 Machines in Excess of our Highest Competitor. These figures are all the more remarkable, for tho reason that the sales of the principal Companies in 1873 are less than their sales in 1872; whereas, as has been shown, our sales have largely increased. The account of sales is from sworn returns made to the owners of tho Sewing Machino Patents. It will hardly be denied, that the superiority of the Singer Machines is fully demonstrated. At all events that their popularity in the house? hold is unquestionable. The Singer Manufacturing Company. J. B. CLARK & SOX, Anderson, S. C., Agents for Abbeville, Anderson and Pickens. J. H.

' * A corrupt tree," saith tho Inspired Vol J\_ ume, "bringeth forth not good fruit." nor can corrupt blood impart health, beauty and good flesh or spirits. "Tho Blood is the Life," and health era only bo enjoyed in its full perfection where the blood is kept in a pure and uncorrupted state, hence the necessity of pure blood, to give health, boauty, buoyant spirits, long life and happiness. AN IMPURE CONDITION of the BLOOD, manifests itself in different forms of diseases, such as Tetter, Salt Rheum, Scald-Ilead, Ring Worms, Pimples, Blotches, Spots, Eruptions, Pustules, Boils. Carbuncles, Sore Eves, Rough Skin, Scurf, Scrofulous Sores and Swellings, Fever Sores, White Swellings, Tumors, Old Sores or Swellings, SyphiliticAfi'ections of the Skin, Throat and Bones, Ulcers of the Liver, Stomach, Kidneys, Lungs and Uterus. In this condition of things something is needed at once to cleanse the blood, and neutral? ize the insidious poison that BURNS LIKE A TERRIBLE FIRE, As it courses through the veins, sowing seeds of death with every pulastion. Dr. Pembertou's'Compound Extract of Stil lingia, (or Queen's Delight) will positively effect this desideratum, expelling every trace of disease from the blood and system, and leaving the skin SOFT, FAIR and BEAUTIFUL. For all diseases of the BLOOD, LIVER and KIDNEYS, this Great Vegetable Alterative is without a rival. It will cure any Chronic or Long Standing Disease whoso real or direct cause is Bad Blood. Rheumatism, Pains in Limbs or Bones, Constitutions Broken Down by Mercurial or other poisons, are all cured by it. For Syphilis, or Syphilictic Taint, thero is nothing equal to it. -4 trial will prove it. It is a most useful Spring and Fall Purifier of the Blood. Its safety and-innocence have been fully tested, so that it may be administered to the 'most tender infant. j/~*7~ Beware of coun? terfeits and substitutes.
