RYROWS MEMORY.
The Letter ott he Byron Solicitors,
TO THE EDITOR OP THE LONDON TIMES.
Sir-As the solicitors of the descendants and
representatives of the late Lady Noel Byron,
for whose family we bare acted for upwards ot
half a century, we request your permission to
publish in the columns of th3 Tunes the fol?
lowing observations relative to an ar ti ole
which bas just appeared in Macmillan's Maga?
zine.
Tbe article in question is entitled "The True
Story of Lady Byron's Life," and Mrs. H. B.
Stowe is announced to be the writer of it.
Of the paper itself we should probably have
abstained from taking any public notice i F it
had appeared in a less respectable journal than
Macmillan, or if even in this periodical the au?
thoress bad been allowed to tell her story with?
out editorial preface or comment. The editor
of Macmillan, however, has not only admitted
Mrs. Stowe's article, but he has prefixed to it a
note in wtrcb he authoritatively proclaims to
the world that "the paper on Lady Byron's
life and relations to Lord Byron is the com?
plete and authentio statement of the whole
circumstances of that disastrous affair." Nay,
more, "that this paper is, in fact, Lady Byron's
own statement of the reasons which forced her
to the separation which she so long resisted."
Again, the editor states that the oontnbutiou
of Mrs. Stowe supplies "evidence at once new
and direct" on Lady Byron's history.
We, as the family solicitors, beg most dis?
tinctly to stat? that the article is not a "com?
plete" or "anthentive statement" of the facts
connected with tbe separation, that it cannot
be regarded as Lady Byron's own statement,
and that it doos not involve any direct evi?
dence on Lady Byron's history.
Instead ot direct evidence, Mrs. Stowe has
nothing to communicate but ber recollection
of a conversation thirteen years ago, and her
impressions of a manuscript which she states
that Lady Byron at that time gave her to pe?
ruse, aod which, according to her own show?
ing, she read under very great excitement.
These circumstances probably account for sev?
eral obvious errors into which Mrs. Stowe bas
fallen, such as assigning two years instead of
thirteen months as the period during which
Lady Byron resided under the same roof with
her husband, and similar ioaocnraoiea, to
which, for the present purpose, it is unueces
sarv to alinde.
Without for a m nm en t conceding that Mrs.
Stowe's narrative contains a complete account
of Lady Byron's relations with ber husband,
we must protest against it as being professed?
ly-first, a most gross breach of the trust and
confidence stated to have been reposed in her;
second, as inconsistent with her own recom?
mendation to Lady Byron; and, third, asan
ignorant violation (at least we shall, in chari?
ty, suppose Mrs. Stowe tobe ignorant) cf the
express terms of Lady Byron's last will and
testament.
First, as relates to a breach of trust, Mrs.
Stowe states that she was consulted in an in?
terview which, to use her own words, "had
almost the solemnity ot a deathbed," not as to
whether she would undertake a redaction of
Lady Byron's married history, but only as to
the policy of publishing su; ti a history at all;
secondly', Mrs. Stowe, on her own admission,
returned to Lady Byron the brief memoran-4
dum paper which had been intrusted to her,
.with (be statement of her opinion that "Lady
Byron would be entirely* justifiable in
leaving the truth to be disclosed nfter
ber death, and recommended that all
facts necessary should bo put in tho
hands of some persona to be so published;"
thiidly, Lady Byron did, by ber last will and
testament, executed a few days only before her
decease, bequeath to three persons as trustees
all her manuscripts, to be by them first sealed
up, afterward deposited in a bank in the name
of such trustees, and she directed that no one
else, however nearly connected with her,
should, upon any plea whatsoever, be allowed
to inspect such documents, which the trustees
were alone to make use of as they might judge
to be best for the interests of her grandchil?
dren. Mrs. Stowe is not one of these three.
Her paper is entirety gratuitous and unauthor?
ized. It is, as we have said, not consistent
with ber own counsel; it is an offence agaioBt
Lady Byron's dying wishes, and the authoress
has written in utter disregard of the feelings
of those gtandchildren of whom she speaks in
a vague, fulsome way, as "some of the best and
noblest of mankind."
The appearance of the volumes about Lord
Byron by the Countess Guiccioli is alleged by
Mrs. Stowe as the main reason which induced
her to pnbl'sb her story; but if Lady Byion'e
descendants, her personal and trusted friends
in this country, suffer the slanders of the
Countess Guiccioli to pass ancontradicted
for, to nae Mrs. Stowe's own expression, of
what value was the outcry of "the mistress"
against the wife?-their silence should cer?
tainly have lea Mrs. Stowe to hesitate before
giving; to the world a statement which, how?
ever it may affect the memories cf the dead,
must' inevitably inflict much pain on the
living.
"Lady Byron's own statement" is in the pos?
session of those who love her memory too well
to make a rash use of it, and if tbe world is
ever to lear a the true story of Lady Byron's
life, it will learn it from them.
It wjnld have been in better taste if Mrs.
Stowe and the editor of Macmillan's Magazine
had imitated the . 'religious silence" which the
latter so much commends in the case of Lady
Byron. Meanwhile, Lady Byron's descend?
ants and representatives entirely and absolute?
ly disclaim all countenance of Mrs. Stowe's
article, which has been published without their
privity or consent.
We are, sir, your obedient servants,
WHARTON & FORDS.

?LLL AROUT THE STATE.
VIOLENCE IS 6PABTANBUBO - AS OUTRAGEOUS
MTBDER.
The Carolina Spartan hts the following par?
agraphs :
"On Monday ev< meg last, an altercation oe
cm red bs tween Henry C. Alley and Monroe
Burnett, of this place, which resulted in the
shooting of the latter by the former in tbe
foot. The wound is considered serious, sud
may result fatally, though we trust not. Bur?
nett was an employee of Mr. James A. Fowler,
and regarded by bis employer as au honest, in?
dustrious and peaceable man, and was favora?
bly known by the citizens generally. Bat he
voted the 'dry ticket' in the towo council
election, and his astailan: wm the keeper ol a
retail whiskey sbop, and by such votes as Bar?
nett's has been driven to impersonate a certain
Sbakesperian character who is said to have lost
his occupation; and hence, we understand,
originated tbe difficulty. Alley was at once
arrested and required to answer at the next
Court of (Jeueial Sessions iu a bond of $1000.
"It is with feelings of the deepest regret
that we record the first assassination which
we remember to have disgrace'! tho aun?is of
our peaceable and quiet town. Last night
about 10 o'clock, two fiends m human form,
fatally bent on doing tbe work of their master,
the devil, with loaded guns, slipped up close
to the person ot their unoffending and uoeus
p?cttng victim, Frank Barnett, a freedman of
our town, and discharged the leaden contents
of the gan into his breast, killing him instant?
ly. The assassins fled immediately. I hey
were seen by some persons, who happened to
be passing near the place, as they fled. Tbey
were immediately pursued bat aided by tbe
darknees, made good their escape. We under?
stand the deceased voted tho 'dry ticket' with
bis unfortunate brother, Monroe.
"Mr. James Alley has been ai rested, bat wc"
are not informed ol' the evidence against him."
TOWN ELECTION TN SPABTANBURG- A BLOW AT
THE WHISKEY TRADE.
The Spartan says: "lh9 elecrion for inten?
dant and tvo wardens of our town, to fill the
vacancies causrd by the resignation of three
of the late council, resulted in the election of
Colonel John H. E'ins. intendant, and J. W.
Carlisle and George Cofield wardens, by the
handsome majc.ity of fifty-two votes. The
whole town certainly has cause to congratu?
late itself that its interests are to be entrusted
to gentlemen whose acknowleged abil.iy and
moral worth are a sursoient guarantee of a
faithful and prosperous administration. And
however hopeless may be the prospect of its
realizitioD, the wish is irrepressible that everv
office in our misruled and unhappy State was
filled.with just such men. It will be needless,
to state to those who know the gentlemen
above named that the reign of dramshops in
r-partanborg is at an end. The issue of "li
cin8e" or "'no license" was fairly made, and
the people have decided, by a strobg majority
that whiskey drinking is an evil that should
be suppressed, and Dot a luxury to be taxed.''
BPABIANBUBO AND THE A IB-LINE RAILROAD.
The Spartan says: "The citizens of this
place on Monday last voted unanimously to
tax themselves tVie sum of fifty thousand dol?
lars, for the purpose of securing; the location
of the road through this place. We are satis
ged that this is the proper route for tho road,
and we are determined to have it here. If the
sum proDOsed to be raised ia not inough, we
will double it. Wo can, and must, and will
have the road this way."
BB A3 COTTON TN OCOKEE.
The Walhalla Courier says: "We have been
handed a section of a stalk of cotton taken
from the farm of Mr. Frank Maxwell, of this
county. Themain stem measures six inches
ia length, from which four branches bave
grown, the longest being only ten inches.
From tip to tip across these branches the
widest point will not exceed ODO foot. On this
little section, taken, as it appears, from the top
of a sta k of cotton, there is twenty-one grown
bolls and thirteen small bolls and blossoms,
makiDg thirty-four in a space the size of an
ordinary hat. The original stock, we under?
stand, was about five feet high and had been
topped in August. The party handing it to ns
did not koow the number of bolls on the whole
stalk. It is i curiosity, and every person who
has seen it says it beats anything they ever
saw in the c itton line. The whole section will
not exceed a cube ot ten inches. We challenge
the State to beat it."
CONDITIO*! OF THE CROPS IN SPARTANBUBG -A
BLUE PROSPECT.
The Spartan says : "We have recently made
special inquiry concerning the crops of our
district, and from the best information we can
gain, we are driven to the conclusion that both
the corn and cotton crops will fall very tar be?
low tbe average. We have passed through
some sections of the district lately, in which
the upland corn, in fields of more than average
fertility, cannot yield more than three or four
bushels to tho acre; and the cotton, in fields of
the same character, will prove almost an entire
failure. In many cases it will not pay tho ex?
pense of cultivation. We believe that the belts
affected bv tho drought constitute the larger
portion of this district, and extend? into the ad?
joining districts west of this. Theie are oc?
casional belts which, like oases in the desert,
relieve the surrounding gloom and give
promise of an abundant harvest. Bottom
lands are generally very promising, and we
trust that by an economical uso, and wise dis?
tribution on the part of those who own these
miniature Egypte, will enable our people to
subsist through thc coming year without
suffering.
AN UNSUCCESSFUL HORSE THIEF.
On the night of the 4th instant, a mule was
stolen trom Mr. W. J. Stephenson, who lives
four miles west of York ville. As soon as Mr. S.
discovered bis loss be started in pursuit, fol?
lowing the trail so closely that the thief was
obliged to abandon the mule near Spartanburg
village, where Mr. S. recovered it. Tho guilty
party is one Pinckney Willis, whose homo is
near Spartanburg Courthouse After stealing
Mr. Stephenson's male, bo stoic another from
his own father, on which ho made his escape
wheo be abandoned his first prize. At lost ac?
counts several persons were in chase of Willis,
with a fair probability of capturing him. The
culprit has just served out a term iu the peni?
tentiary for stealing a horse and buggy.

FATAL AFFATR IN UNION.
The UnionvilJe Times says : "Amos Skeeter,
of this place, was struck and ms tau tl y killed
last night by a stranger who was passing the
night in our town. Full particulars have not
been received, but it seems the deceased mado
a most wanton and unprovoked attack upon
the stranger, while the latter was in bed natl
nusrmed. The killing was entirely in self-de?
fence, and the public, sentiment of the ontire
community justifies the doed. Politics had
nothing to do with the difficulty; and as the
deceased" did not belong to the Radical party,
it is not expected that Governor ticott will
offer any reward. The deceased leaves exten?
sive family connections in this county, but
they are not at all dependent upon him for
support. Bis life was not insured in ?ny of
the ompanies doing business here."

GIRLS' BROTHERS.
Their Hie and Abuse.
[From the Temple Bar.J
Tho man who thinks about marrying neces?
sarily becomes a student of character, and
spends a good proportion of his time iu that
amiable pursuit. It may happen that he is
quite unaccustomed to gu-ss at a woman's
disposition from her manner, and speech, and
conduct; and the chances aro that he gels con?
siderably bewildered. If the girl or woman iu
whom he is interested is at all complex in
character or variable iu humor-and she is a
miracle of a woman if she is not-be will form
a dozen different estimates of her nature in as
many weeks; and at last confess that, if he
does marry ber, he must marry ber on trust.
Just at this particular period a brother comes
in handy. Blinded by the power of feminine
eyes, or fascinated by that ideal appearance
which every woman "on her trial" knows how
to assume, thc doubting lover turns to his
sweetheart's male relatives, and there studies
the family character in tue rough. Here, in
quiet gray light he may perceive all those
traits of mind and habit which are either ob
scuted or made attractive by tho lambent
witchery of his mistress' presence. Not only
have men less power of self-concealment than
women, but they have, further, no object in
assuming an ideal character in order to please
tbeir sisters'suitors. Of course, it cannot be
held absolutely certain that the dispositions of
brother and sister will be in any degree alike.
The contemplativo lover must choose out
tho brother that is physically most like
this particular sister-must cultivate his
acquaintance and entrap bim into self
revelation. If thiB brother be young, especial?
ly, tho manner in which he will illustrate
8"eveial of his sister's peculiarities which have
hitherto puzzled the lover is very 'singular.
With the artlessness of youth, be will betray
the weak points of the bringing-up, notions
and temper of the whole IV rn; ly. He has
neither the age, caution, wit nor wisdom of his
sister; and obeys the caprice or vbim ot the
momeut without any regard to the attentive
scrutiny which is being directed upon him.
With ingenuous garrulity he will let you into
family secrete; and may give very different
versions of stories which looked charming,
or only comical, when they fell Irom the lips
of bis more astute sister. It may be said that
a man is acting unworthily intaking advantage
of the youth's innocence to pry into family
serrate; but everything is fair in marriage, and
if nothing has been concea'ed nothiog can bo
elicited by this indirect method ofcross-ex
amiDation. If the girl is as amiable, and
hono?t. ood good-tempered as she professes to
b*; if she really holds those artless and beau
tiful beliefs in human nature; if ber manner
towards her parents and brothers and sisters
be the same when visitors are absent as when
they are present; if her interest in literature
and the arts be not assumed; and if she is, in
brief, an angel in disposition and a soundly
cultivated woman in attainments, no study of
the brother's character will destroy or alter
one's regard for her. On the contrary, when
ho sees all these good qualities displayed in
their raw material-when the youth of ingen?
uous pardor betrays the same on* attributes,
a trifle less harmonized and polished, which
his Bister exhibits, the lover f?els assured of
the wisdom of his choice. He gota forward to
the inevitable goal with courage sud hope.
The period of hesitation is over, and rivals are
bidden to beware.
On the other hand, the brother may unwit?
tingly tell tales of the most disastrous kind.
One of the chief tests of a character is its re?
gard for truth; and veracity is so much a mat?
ter of habit-so much dependant on the edu?
cation-that all the members of a family are
likely to have notions on the subject more or
less similar. Of coarse, we do not mean that
intentional lying is likely to accrue from a
cert lin kind ofbringing np, however much it
may help towards it; bu', that a habit of utter?
ing inaccurate statements-whether through a
transient wish of making matters look pleas?
ant to one's companion, or whether through
a certain intellectual fascination for dramatic
pointe, which misplaces what ia for what might
be-is one of the commonest of human fail?
ings. The brother will show you whether thst
tendency bas been largely developed in the
family. He has not the skill to be consis?
tent io his innocent misrepresentations. To
nleaso you, perhaps, he will profess an ardent
admiration for some mutual acquaintance, and
say how much that acquaintance is admired
and liked by his (the brother's) family; and
then, next day, having forgotten all about tho
matter, he will call the acquaintance a tiresome
old fool, whom his sisters detest. Another re?
lated point on which he will yield mnch impor?
tant information to the -anxious lover is the
extent to which the family has been brought
up ' for show"-whether tbat exceeding cour?
tesy and perfect amiability of the sister is a
natural or acquired product. He, too, it may
be presume J, has been taught, if bis sister
has been taught, that the cmof duty io Ufe is
to look well in the estimation of friends, and
be will display in the roost ingenious
fashion the means which the family tra?
ditions have thought requisite for that pur?
pose. He will profess a love for intellectual
and artistic pursuits which jon see he does
not feel merely because it is right and poper
that he should do so. If he bas been taught
to assume sincerity as a virtue, be wtH betray
the conflict between his own nat uro and the
assumption. Flay with him at billiards, and
in Ats and starts he will exhibit au astonish?
ing candor in confessing to "flakes"-obvious?
ly priding himself on bis honesty, and hoping
that von admiro it; and the next minute you
will fl'd him relapsing iuto his real self, and
making statements about intended "cannons*'
which are calculated to strike you with awe
and wonder. Ia many similar directions, tho
brother may bo led to give evidence up m fami?
ly qualities, irrespective of those chance lights
which you may obtain from his direct asser?
tions.
But the grand point, in which ho is an al?
most infallible guide, is temper. Wc lu ow
of fow more interesting amusements-even for
those wbo oie long past tho age at which con?
jugal results could hang upon tho pur.-uit
than the noting of tho strange resemblances
and differences between the family disposition
as it is exhibited in a son, and the same as it
is exhibited in a daughter. These minute
shades of discrepancy, tempered by all the
varying conditions of sex, age, and opportuni?
ty, form a sort of physical kaleidoscope per
petuilly offering new. combinations, and
when it is your brother-in-law whom you aro
regarding, the interest ie indefinitely increased,
There is not a flt of querellons waywardness
in the brother that does not beget a qualm in
thc heart of the sister's suitor, and there is
nothing which rejoices the latter so muoh as
to observe a courageously considerate attitude
in the temper and disposition! of thc boy or
man. In toe c&eo vt w?o tnuttim mora mu aa
petty feminine disguises to conceal tbe true
state of affairs, and the lover rapidly forms an
intimacy which is full of surprises to him.
Anxiously does he inquire whether this his
possible brother-in-law is always governed by
the absolute indecision of judgment and way?
ward temper which he sometimes exhibits. He
looks with dismry upon the brother's peevish
irritability, and is so shocked by his intractable
and obstinate folly as scarcely to be able to re
monstrate. Perhaps there are two or three
brothers, all gifted with the irascible and child?
ish temperament; and, perhaps, both father
and mother are dangerous subjects to deal
with, when the soup is cold or the dressmaker
dilatory.
With all these indications, it is possible that
his faith in his own sweet friend should not
be troubled. How, he asks bim?elf, could such
a perfect flower have sprung up in this hot?
house of angry passions? Angels do not con?
sort with devils; and in such a pandemonium
the appearance of an incongruous visitor pro?
vokes suspicion. This y CUD g brother, for ex?
ample, is the incarnation of bad temper, and
even seems conscious of it. He confesses to
having got into a rage about nothing, and
having kept himself and Ins family on tenter?
hooks during dinner simply through a flt of I
sulkiness. If he getB a bad band at whist,
he flings down tho cards in a passion, and
coes off to Ins own room; if bo misses a
favorito stroke at billiards, ho dashes his cue
on the table, cuts the cloth, and sits dowu.
morose and red-faoed. He makes no effort
to control himself; and in these child?
ish moods beware that you do not speak to
bim of that sister in whom you aro intorcst.-d.
He will te'l the truth about her, or, rather, he
will tell whtt bis ungovernable pission, vent?
ing itself upon every object of his conten:pil?
lion, would have you to consider the truth.
Itisasmall matter what the boy says; but it
is a grave mailer that such ungovernable tem
p -rs should be in a family. lnsmity, scrofula,
dipsomania are not the only hereditary ail?
ments which thc man who would marry has to
guard against. Besides the disease of au in?
flammable temper, there is that ot inconstancy
of tho affections, which is os o'tea as not a
purely physical defect. There aro persons whose
affections aro inherently devoid cf permanence;
to expect tbem to remain constant through
any period o' absence or trial is to expect a
blind man to see. Thoy are gfted or cursed
with a facile and transitory nature, which natu?
rally clings to the object nearest it, and yet
does not cling pertinaciously. Half a doz?
words, a Bingie look, a railway journey, an in?
troduction-any one of tho ordinary incidents
of life-may transfer the unsubstantial and
treacherous regard of such persons to other
objects. Nor can wo blame them. They are
not necessarily voluntary agents. Tboir radi?
cal weakness causes them to shift their uncer?
tain love; and it would only be useless hvpocn
ey, possibly attended with direful results, for
them to pretend that it hal no: shifted. To
assume the virtue of constancy is a crime,
while to be honestly inconsistent is to accept
one's misfortune.
Hore, also, the brother ii invaluable. The
lover watches him closely to pet coi vc whether
he shows symptoms of that perpetual indeci?
sion of the affections which has produced so
many tragedies in domestic life. He regards
this young man's flirtations with his sister's
friends with a peculiar interest. The lover al?
most fcelB that his own fate is dependent on
the amouot ot honesty aud constancy which
this youth evinces; and reads in tho actions
and son lments of the boy thc horoscope of
his own future. All this takes place when the
lover is as yet undecided, and tho study is the
most engaging and fascinating that he can
find. Whether it ever possesses any practical
results is quito another matter, because, as a
rule, men who find their sweetheart's younger
brothers interesting companions, have gone
too far to draw back, whatever warning they
may receive.

MARRIAGE LA W8.
Strange Incongruities and Absurdities.
Jost before the adjournment of the recent ses?
sion of the British House of Commons-which
was a very much overworked body, according
to all accounts-a number of important sub?
jects were postponed; among them that of the
man ?age laws introduced by Sir Roundel] Pal?
me'. An intelligent writer to the New York
Times makes the following notice of this
matter :
The principle of religious equality, now prac?
tically recognized for tbe first time three cen?
turies after the Reformation, seems to require
some sort of equality, and, if possible, unifor?
mity, in the laws relating to marriage. The
lawB, as they now exist, Sir Boundell may well
call extraordinary. In England people are mar?
ried by bans, or dispensed from them by
license. In church marriages no registrar is
required to be present: among non-conformists
his attendance is requisite. The Quakers have
a separate law all to themselves. If the place
where the marriage is celebrated has not been
properly consecrated, the marriage is invalid.
It can only be performed within certain hours
-never later than ll A. M. In Scotland there
is marriage by simple consent ot the parties;
marriages according to three or four different
laws, acd irregular marriages, which make
people liable to afine; but the payment of the
fine legalizes the marriage, and this is a com?
mon mode of procedure. In Ireland there is
one law for Protestant churchmen, another for
Presbyterians, and no law at all for Catholics,
except a law of pains and penahties in certain
cases. If a Roman Catholic priest should pre?
sume to celebrate a marring? between a Roman
Catholic and Protestant, or even between a Ro?
man Catholic and a person who bad been a
Protestant within a year of tho marriage, till
comparatively a recent tim \ that was a capital
offence, and even now it is a criminal offence of
a very high order, aud the marriage ts abso?
lutely void. Of the irregular Scottish mar?
riages, Sir Roundall has tue!horror that might
be expected in an English lawyer and church?
man, and his description of them is technical
and droll. He says :
The system of irregular marriages in Scot?
land is a very startling thing to those whose
minds are not thoroughly accustomed to it.
It ie contracted in two different ways. Sup?
pose any gentleman in thia house visited a
bouse in Scotland where a young lady happens
to be staying, and that he and the young lady
took a walk together, and in the course of the
walk he took a piece of paper out of his pocket,
on which they wrote down a mutual promise to
marry; though the piece of paper might bc
simply put back again into his pocket; though
nothing might bo said to anybody about the
writing; and though nobody else might be
there at the time, if the persons afterwards
lived in a certain way together, that would be
a valid marriage, although nobody might
know of the fact of tho marriage for years
afterwards. No mere promise will constitute a
marriage unless it bc in writing, and unless
subs?quente copula, A promise so given and
so followed constitutes a good marriage, how?
ever long it may be kept secret. There is
another even moro extraordinary mode, in
which no writing at all is necessary; and that
is wheru the promise is made not de futuro,
but de present?- whore tho woman says 'I take
you, John, for my husband,' and wilt re the
man says, "I take you, Mary, for my wife,' be?
fore witnesses. A promise of that kind being
brought up at any future peno 1, even although
thc people have never lived cogether, will bold
good, aud will be sufficient to overturn any
perfectly honorable and reputable marriage
that either of the parties may have subsequent?
ly entered into; and this actually occurred in
the celebrated Dilrymple case.

MW KEEP THE BODY IN GOOD REPAIR.
It is much easier to keep the ?yetem in good condi?
tion than to restore lt to that condition when shat?
tered by disease. The "House of Life," like other
housea, should be prompt'y propped up and sus?
tained whenever it showa any sign of giving way.
The first symptoms ol physical debility should be
taken as a hint that a at i m ul ant is required. The
next question ia, "what shall thc stimulant be?"
A wholes, me vegetable tonic, the slimulatinr
properties of which are modified by the juices and
extracts of anti-febrile and laxative roitaand berba
something which will regulate, soothe and purify,
as well as invigorate-ia the medicine required by
thc debilitated. There arc many preparations which
are claimed to bo ot' this description, but HOSTET
TEK'd Sl'OMACH BITTERS, the great vopetable
preventive and restorative, that haa won its way to
the confidence o? the public and the medical profes?
sion, by a quarter of a century of unvarying aucceas,
stands pre eminent ame ng thom all. To expatiate
on its popularity would be to repeat a twice toll
tale. It ia only necessary to consult the records of
tho United S titos Revenua Dc.?art mont to learn that
its consumption la greater than ttaat ol any other
proprietary remedy of either native or foreign
origin.
As a mtsan* of sustaining the health and strength
under a fiery temperature, the BITTERS have a
paramount claim to ooisideration. It has tin effect
ot fvrtilying and bracing the nervous and muscular
systems against the ordinary consequences of sud?
den and violent changes of temperature, and is,
therefore, peculiarly useful at thia season, w'aen hot
sunshine by day, and ice-cold dews by night, alter?
nately heat and chill the blood of those who are ex
posed to them.
HOSTETTKB'a STOMACH BITTERS are sold in
bottles only. To avoid being decslvod by couotcr
feita, ace that the name of thc article is on the label,

ANCE COMPANY, ATLANTA DEPABTMENT.
To the People of South Carolina:
The above Company was orgtn zed in 1866,1
consequence of the wholesale forfeiture of Souther
policies by Northern companies'. The unparallele
success of the enterprise has forced several of thet
companies to restore their Southern policies, lroc
the fact that they could not operate in our midi
without the appearance of honesty.
We keep all our money at home to build up ou
impoverished country-every dollar of rremiut
being safely invested In the State from which i t is dt
rived. Tho institution is purely Southern, and bene?
should appeal with great force to the patriotism am
and sympathy of every Southern heart.
'Tis not our purpose to make war on other com
panles, but to exhibit the special advantages offerei
by this purely Southern Company-founded ot
patriotism and solid wealth. Its ratio of assets ti
liabilities-the true test of a company's strength-li
second to nono on this continent, being nearly $301
to $100.
Whenever and wherever we have presented th
claims of this Company, it bas not only enlisted th
sympathies of our people, but has also secured the!
hearty co-operation. We have secured COOpolicie
in South Carolina since the 10th of February. W
number among our Directors General Wade Hamp

Solomon's Bitters arc not of the flishy style, de?
pending upon large advertising, bought puffs and

prietors depend upon the intrinsic merits of tbfir
medicine to make it as popular as it is curative.
They do net pretend to offer a medicinal prepara?

but they do contend that the judicious use of these
Bitters will greatly alleviate human suffering, and
bring very many to a state of comparative health
