Tributes of Respect - Fun (ral Ce re mo * nics. Until the announcement of the death c. the late Richard Yeadon was made in yesterday's papers, very few of our citizens were aware of his demise, and loud and earnest were the ex? pressions of regret heard on every side. All felt that in his death the community had sustained a loss which could be illy borne: that a vacuum had been created which could no; be easily filled. Ap? pended will be found the proceedings of the United States and the State courts yesterday, both of which adjourned as a mark of respect to the memory of the deceased. Proceedings in tUe Courts. When the St atc Court was opened yesterday morning, Hon. Henry Buist stated that -it was with deep feelings he arose to perform the painful duty of announcing to the court the death of Hon. Richard Yeadon. The annuncia? tion, although by reason of his long illness not unexpected, has filled the public mind with sor? row, and none will mourn his loss, aside from his immedate relatives, more th. n the Bar of the city and the State, to whom he was endeared by years of pleasant and memorable association. He was, indeed, endeared to all th' member - of the Bar, not only by thc recoil1- -on of high character, unsullied integrity and great learning, but to the speaker, in particulat, by the recollec? tion or many kindnesses and acts of friendship, and he regretted that he had ro language to ex? press in adequate terms his appreciation or the great loss the Bar has sustained. Dis death ls one which ail must feel to be a calamity, not only to the Bar, but to the community and to the State. Commencing life poor, and with but few frieuds, by his energy and ability he rose to the highest professional eminence, and was richly rewarded by thc smiles or fortune. His standard as a lawyer was high, and when he espoused the cause ora client, he vindicated his rights with all the zealousness and deep ardor of his whole nature. The unprotected could always command his services, and he labored for them with the same zeal which he gave to the richest and most powerful. He always enjoyed the highest es? teem and respect of his fellow-citizens, and was on many occasions called by them to positions of honor and usefulness. From early manhood, to his later years, he was lndentifled with all that could contribute to the advancement of the best i uereJts of the State, and no son elong to her, through weal and woe, with a love more pure and unselfish. But he has passed away from us, and only the recollection of his virtues remains. A fitting occasion will doubtless shortly occur, when the Bench and the Bar, and all those who loved and respected our departed friend In life, will unite and share In doing honor to his mem? ory. In conclusion, Mr. Buist stated that, in making a motion to adjourn the court, he did but simply ' express the wai m and earnest feeling of the members of the Bar who surrounded him; that lt was proper and right that, pursuing as they all did life's earnest march, they should pause and lrop a tear upou one so emiuent and learned who had fallen in their ranks; therefore he would move that, as a tribute of respect to the eminent virtues and great abilities or the deceased, the court do now adjourn, aud that a resolution to that effect be entered upon the minutes. Mr. A. H. Brown seconded the motion, and, in so doing, paid a brier and eloquent tribute to the many vitues or the deceased. His Honor Judge Carpenter said: 1 will add but a lew words to those which have aeen so fitly spoken. 1 had not the pleasure or ?nowing Mr. Yeadon until years and disease had jowed him with their Joint burdens. But from my comparatively brief acquaintance with him, I :an fully concur in the encomiums which have jeen pronounced upon his varied talents and his mswervlDg Integrity. His record ls now com? pete. It is stamped with the Ineffaceable seal of leath. This day, In brief eulogy, we recount his mantles of mind and heart. But a few days since, vhen he was almost upon the brink or the grave, te paid the same tribute of respect to the meruo y of a distinguished member of the Bar of this itate, Who had just passed Away ? **-w?a tb?'?ot- j uorrc Atrtror ms ute. To us the spectacle ls most npressrre. These frequent bereavements truly 1 dmonish us that. In the midst of life we are In ' eath. They carry with them a moral which we | hould heed. They ask us to soften the asperities r professional life, to observe a more catholic 1 harlty, greater kindness, and, above all else, 1 hey remind os that this is the ephemeral dream ife, and that the unexplored ruture ls the only eallty. The clerk will spread the resolutions upon the ecord, and furnish to the family of the dlstln ;ulshed gentleman whose death has been this day .nnonnced ^certified copy-of these proceedings. TneUnited States Courtrwas calle* to'order, at l o'clock, yesterday morning, when District At orney Corbin announced the death of Mr. Tea lon, and then paid a glowing tribute to the men? ai and moral attributes of the deceased. When Ir. Corbin concluded, Judge Bryan made a few emarks of nu eulogistic character, touchingly .lludlug to the personal relations between him eir and the deceased, and the loss the communl y sustained by his death. i Funeral of the Late Richard Yeadon. The funeral services or the late Richard Yeadon rere celebrated yesterday. At about 4 o'clock, thc 1 ersonal friends and connections or thc deceased ' ssembled at his late residence where they were jlned by the members of the different societies ! o which Mr. Yeadon belonged at the time or his j eath. A large number or the members of thc 'ellowshlp Society and of Union Kilwinning 1 .odge were present, as well a3 members of the outh Carolina and Ancient Artillery societies, i 'he following gentlemen acted as pall-bearers: I he Hon. W. D. Porter, the Hon. L W. Haync, the Ion. C. G. Memmlnger, the Hon. Geo. S. Bryan, i he Hon. Henry Buist, the Hon. John PhilIips,Gen- : ral James Simons, the Hon. Edward McCrady. At 5 o'clock the long Une of mourners was ormed, and the procession moved to thc Central 'rcsbyterlan Church. This vast edifice was filled rith the oldest, the most Influential and the most espectable citizens of Charleston. The bar, he mercantile community, thc banks, the fergy, and the medical profession were all epresented by their leading members. The funeral services were read in an impressive i uanner by the Rev. W. H. Adams, pastor of the llrcular Church, and the hymn, "Rock of Ages i Heft for Me," was beautifully sung by the choir. < Ir. Adams then addressed an earnest and clo? uent prayer to the Throne or Grace, and when 1 he benediction had been pronounced, the re? tains or the departed jurist were carried to the emetery or the Circular Church, where they rere Interred. The gathering ol mourners at the Central Pres? byterian Church on the occasion of this funeral ras one ol the most imposing that Charleston has verseen, and was a sufficient proof or the re peet and regard felt for Mr. Yeadon by the poo? le of our city.

In addition to the abave, one stlll-blrth was reported. AMUSEMENTS. The Academy of Music-The Bohemian Girl. It is not surprising that Balfe's charming masterpiece should hold its ground in the face of the newest productions of the French, German" and Italian sehools. The plot ls sufficiently com? plicated and improbable, but lt affords room for a'.ri kin g situations, and is easily understood; vhlle the music is lively and sparkling, from the overture to the finale. There is no dullness, no agony, in the opera. It ls not a great work. But it ls full of catching melody, and contains ballads which were ramous twice ten years ago. Last night the Bohemian Girl was splendidly per? formed. There was no hitch, no hesitation, no carelessness, either on the stage or in :ue or? chestra. Tfce prima donna of the evening was Miss Em? ma Howson (Arline,) who sang with sweetness and acted with bewitching grace. Her voice ls a very agreeable one, except in some or the lower notes, and she uses lt with skill and discretion. Ia person, Miss Howson is highly attractive, ani! her whole demeanor ls exceedingly prepossess in g. The ramiliar ballad, "I dreamt that I dwelt in marble nails," was encored, and the brilliant sirring of "Ah ! what full Delight," deserved the same compliment. Miss Howson will be a great favorite in Charleston. The Glpsey Queen, a somewhat small but very important role, was well acted and sung by Miss Mischka, and the Florestiue of Mr. J. G. Peakes was excellent. Devilshoor (Mr. H. c. Peakes) was well made up, and lils grotesque acting provoked many a round of applause. The thundering notes of his deep voice were a tower of strength in the choruses. The Count Arnhelm of Mr. Henry Drayton was a finished perf .'ance. This gen tlemau sang the "Heart Bowcu Down" with so much delicacy and expression, that the familiar ballad was at once encored. The Thaddeus of Mr. B. Eowler was a triumph for hlmseirand a rare treat for his public. In the first two acts he did not exert himself to an excess, but in the third act he sang, "When other Lips and other Hearts," deliciously. This was encored, but it wa3 in the "Fair Land of Poland" that Mr. Bowler won his spurs. He delivered Its stirring strains with a force and fire which fairly electrified the audience, and brought out a storm of applause. There were many in his audience who knew and felt what it was to have "steel to the bosom, and fire to the roof," and the song was repeated with an even more startling effect. The choruses throughout the opera were sang with the precision and completeness of which we have already spoken. Last night the company was thoroughly aroused, and the choruses were dashed off with a will. The Glpsey's chorus, whose leading strain runs through the opera, was particularly well done, as was the Tambourine chorus in the second act: The fine duo of Devllshoof and the Glpsey Queen was capitally delivered and encored. This was also the case with the quartette In the second act (scene 3.) The stage arrangements were very complete, and the grouping was highly picturesque. The effects of scenery and grouping In the first and second acts were by far the prettiest that had been seen on the Academy boards. All the guards, retainers, gipsies and ladles marched and talked and laughed-as they sang-with discreet vigor, and the soldiers marched as though they had Just arrived from the citadel-which, we sup? pose, was about the truth of lt. We have said enough to show our high and .ven exalted opinion of the Richings Opera Troupe, and again express the hope that their re? maining performances will be better attended. Charleston ls thc only Southern city which has not given these artists crowded houses, and we should be sorry to think that the finest opera com? pany which the city has had for ten or fifteen years would not be properly supported. To-night, Bellini's opera, La Somn?mbula, will be played-one of the most charming operas ia the repertoire. I. O. 0.

HAMILTON.-When Death, with nolselTss'step and unrelenting hand, steals In and tears from our clinging arms one with whose lire our own was bound up by the cords of an Immortal love, and la whom every hope and affection centred, overwhelmed and stunned by the stroke, we In? stinctively turn to the sympathy of others, and seek to relieve our own surcharged heart by pour? ing its sorrows into those that beat la unison with our own. And it is a happy thing when we can do this without murmuring, or repining, or rebelling against the hand of Him who smites.but with Christian resignation can bow to His will, In fall assurance that He does not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men, and that what He does is wisest aud best, though in our present state we cannot understand the mystery of His ways. It Is with these thoughts that we record the death of Mrs. MARV B. HAMILTON, eldest daughter or Rev. Thomas H. Legare, and beloved wife of John A. Hamilton, Esq., who departed this life at Orangeburg on the morning or the 15th or April, 1S70, lu the thirty third year or her age. A lire so retired, so quiet and unobtrusive as hers, calls for no extended or labored eulogy. It was j in the home made so bright by her presence that ber many virtues shone, and they loved her most who knew her best. An affectionate daughter, a loving sister, a devoted wife, a conscientious Christian, ever seeking and ready with heart and hand to engage in works of piety and benevo? lence: charitable to the failings of others, and se? vere only to her own ; timid la everything save duty, her life was a beautiful exemplification of the true-hearted vornan and consistent follower of Him who was himself, whilst on earth, "meek and lowly In heart." Summoned away by death at a moment when a new tie was about to make life doubly sweet to her, she obeyed the call as coming rrom her Heavenlv Father; and not only without fear, but with calm resignation and un? faltering trust, with her babe clasped to her breast, she went up to ila whom, "not having seen, she had loved." So passed rrom us her gen? tle spirit-gone, we doubt not, to sparkle a new gem la the crown of the Redeemer whom she had loved and served from early childhood. We mourn not for her. but for ourselves. The loss 13 only ours. Our consolation ls the precious mem? ory she has left, and the Urra belier that the "loved and lost" ls only "gone before."

He pretends one day that he lus got the dyspepsia; thc next day liver complaint; the next ls sick, with no appetite-declares that there is nothing on the table fit to eat, and so on, It is all nonesense, and nothing but lils confound? ed ugliness. From the very bottom of my heart, 1 believe he wants to worry me to death. Lady Friend: Mrs. Smith, I thlnkyou are wrong. No woman has a kinder or more Indulgent hus? band than you. I must confess that I have no? ticed a change la Mr. Smith; but am inclined to think that all he wants ls a tonic; and li I were you I would not be a day without PLANTATION BITTERS In the house. Make him take them mod? erately three times a day, and In a short time I think you will see a change. My experience ls that pian at lon Bitters ls one of thc best and most delicious on les in the world; and that for ner? vousness loss of appetite, dyspepsia, and all kin? dred complaints, there ls nothing so good.

PERIMENTAL chemists have repeatedly ana alyzed the air at unhealthy seasons In the hope of detecting the Invisible virus which produces epi? demic disease. They have not yet discovered it, and scarcely any two of them agree as to Its na? ture. This ls of little consequence. It ls suffi? cient to know that this poisonous principle exists, and that a safeguard against Us Insidious influ? ence hos been provided. In the spring and early summer, when fever and ague, remittent fever, and other periodical diseases ofthat class are prevalent, lils only necessary to fortify the sys? tem with a course of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters to escape them. If the precaution has been neg? lected, which lt never ought to be in any dlstriot liable to such visitations, and if the paroxysms of malarious fever have actually commenced, they may always be checked and broken up by a course of that powerful vegetable tonic and altera Uve. Quinine was once considered the only speci? fic for chills and fevers; but it ls now generally admitted that this nauseous alkaloid ls c. danger? ous medicine, and that Its secondary effects are more to be dreaded than any form of intermit? tent fever. It ls simply a tremendous astringent, It does not tonck the disordered liver, or regu? late the bowels, or ld any way Improve the con? dition of the animal fluids. Hostetter's Bitters, on the other hand, in addition to being a better and safer tonic than any preparation of quinine, has a balsamic effect upon the whole system. It ls aperient and anti-bllious, as well as directly in? vigorating, and purifies the secretions as well as regulates the secretive organs. It stimulates the appetite, strengthens the stomach, soothes the nerves, promotes healthful perspiration, and In? duces quiet sleep. As a stomaohlc lt hos no rival. Cases or Indigestion that no other tonic seems ca? pable or alleviating are cured In a few weeks by Its regular use. apr22 6 ^NO CURE NO PAY!-DR. G.
