ROCK MB TO SLEEP.-^Sohio time ago, a claim to tho authorship of . ?Rook Me to Sleop, " * plaintive poem, by "Florene* Percy,'; was made by a plagiarist named Ball, who lives somewhero in EfWw Jersey, and writes very bad verse?. To this person, Mark Twain addressed the' following apostrophe: ,rBackwardr 3seed backward, oh, Ball, in your ight; make not an ass of yonrself (inst for to-night;) pull tho few silver threads out of your hair; fill up and varnish those farrows of caro-care that was born of attempting fame's steep, which you couldn't ' climb, Ball, whom none.rooked to sleep; oh, Bally, come back from tho echo? ing shore; cease for a season the publie to bore, with your infamous rhymes and stupid complaint, for you know\you are claiming to bo what you ain't. Oh, drivel no more don't shuffle, don't weep-hang up you (r) lyre,, Ball, I'll rook you to sleep I" DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS. MUNICIPAL OFFICERS-CTT? COLUMBIA. For Mayor. COL. J. P. THOMAS.

The Queen's Delight is a certain cure for Diseases of tho Blood. The Queen's Delight is tho best Liver In? vigorates. Tho Qnobn'e Delight is tho medicino for Scrofula. Tho Queen's Delight is given for Head? aches. Tho Queen's Dolight is for NervouB Ai?ec tions. The Queen's Delight will euro all Skin Diseases. The Queon'e Delight will remove Blotches, and Pimples. Tho Queen's Delight will cure Chills and t Fever. The Queen's Dolight will cure Cancer and Indolent Tumors. Tho Queen's Delight will euro Erysipelas and Carbuncles. The Queen's Delight will euro Asthma. The Quoen's Delight will euro Bronchitis. The Queen's Dehght will euro all Fomalo Complaints. Tho Queen's Dolight will restore tho lost Energies of Man. The Queen's Delight will restore the Feeble to Health. Tho Quoen's Dolight for Young and Palo faced Creatures. The Queen's Deliget has secured tho favor of the People. Tho Queen's Delight ?B now the great Fa? mily Medicine. The Queen's Delight has been tried, and gives universal satisfaction. The Queen's Dehght should be in every Family. The Queen's Dehght is tho cheapest as well as the beat Medicine vou can give. The lifo of the flesh is puro blood. Upon this theory alone the inventor of the Queen's Delight establishes the great hy? gienic law, without pure blood no flesh is free from disease. Tho Palo and Shrunken Forms, Yellow Faces, Weak Stomachs, Diseased Livers, Crippled Bheumatics, Nervous Hypochondriacs, Dyspeptic Vic? tims of Headache, so common in this country, is owing entirely to the humors of the blood. Very many other diseases may bo traced to bad blood, Scrofula or King's Evil, Erysipelas, Exauthema or Elovuro, a Rash or Emption on females, Blotches, Tetter, Goitre or Swelled Neck, Syphilis and Syphilitic Sores, Strnmous Ulcers, Ac These cannot bo cored with? out purifying the blood. Now as to the romedy. There is no othor blood purifier that will accomplish such positive and ex? traordinary cuica as iieinitsirs Queen's Delight. Yon may tako a barrel of extract Sarsaparilla, and still you will not be cured; and. as a proof of it, look around and you will observe tho country, through? out its length and breadth, is flooded with compound Sarsaparillas, extracts and syrups, claiming to be blood purifiers, and yet we see to-day moro evidence of im? purity of the blood than over. Why is this ? Simply because t heno extracts and Sarsaparillas are worthless medicines. Ask for Heinitsh'B Quoon's Dolight. Thin is not the Extract of Btellingia or Queen'a Delight, nor is it a Compound Syrup of Queen's Delight, or Sarsaparilla and Queen's Delight, but simply Heinitsh's Queen's Delight is the trade mark. Ask for this, if you want to bo cured, and see that tho name of E. H. Heinitsh is on the v rapper. Prepared only by E. H. Hein? itsh. Wholesalo agents, FISHER k HEINITSH, August 15 t_Columbia, 8. C.

An excellent Paper for Country Reading. ITS POLITICS DEMOCRATIC IN THE QREAT FIG RT AGAINST RADICAL USURPATION. TO THE PEOPLE OF THE SOUTH. THE WEEKLY GLEANER-Devoted to the rehabilitation of the South inita former prosperity-is offered to subscribers at the low rate of $1.50 for six months. Tho annals of tho American Rcpublio show no political campaign comparable in tho magnitude of its ?SBUCB and tho mo? mentousness of its results to that for tho Presidency, now pending. Indeed, tho very lifo of freo government is on trial, and it will be a sad commentary on the capacity of tho peoplo for tho exerciso of that high trust if they, tho jurors who aro to try tho issue, pronounco a verdict of ?H-lf-condemn at ion. If tho South has any hopo it ia in thoBUCcessof tho Democratic party in the coming Presidential election; and overy citizen is vitally interested in tho progresa of the battle, and cannot afford to bo without a aound and reliable newspaper. As an organ, not only of aound Demo? cratic principles, but as a vehicle of ge? neral news, the GLEANER is confidently commended to Southern support. A large eight-pago paper, of forty-eight columns, lilied with tho contributions of able cor? respondents, the daily wealth of tele? graphic communication and readable edi? torials. Especially will it be valuable as an organ to di??bt!?e the Northern mind j of the falsehooda in relation to Southern thought and actions, with which it is the industrious vocation of certain partie? to poison tho springs of Northern feeling on Southern subjects. In thia view of the matter, no moro valuable aid to tho true reconstruction of thc country and restora? tion of just acntiment at the North toward tho South can bo rendered than by eub scribing to tho WEEKLY GLEANER and aending it to acquaintances and friends in the Northern State?. Wo ask tho aid of auch of our political comrades aa shall see this prospectus, in the distribution of tho paper; especially during tho progresa of tho impending campaign. The WEEKLY GLEANER ia published every Wednesday morning, and mailed to single subecribera at $3.00 per anum; Six Months, $1.50; Three Months, 75c; Single Copies, 10c. Sample copies will bo sent on receipt of address. Money for sub? scription should be sent in drafts or post oflico ordora, but may bo 8cnt in a regis? tered lotter.
