THE DAILY 'Let our Ju ct Censure Attend the True Event.' BY J. A. SELBY COLUMBIA. 8. C.. SATURDAY MORNING. APRIL 9. 1870 VOL. YI-NO. 18. ' OHMS FHOM 'EOTH?W? -?-Av? n*ar toe Pyramids, more. wondrous and mor^ awful than, all oise in tb o laud of Egypt, there sits the lonely .Sphynx. Comely the creature is, but thia comeliness is not of this world; tho once worshipped beast is a deformity and a monster to this gene? ration, and yot you can see that these lips, so thiok and heavy, according to some ancient mould of beauty-aomo mould of beauty now forgotten-forgot? ten because that Greece drow forth Oytheria from the flashing foam of the ocean, and her image created new forms of beauty, and made it a law among men, that the short and proudly wreathed lips should stand for the sign and the main condition of loveliness, through all generations to como. Yet still there lives on tho race of those who were beautiful in the fashion of the elder world, and Christian girls of Cop? tic blood will look on you with sad se? rious gaze, and4 kiss your charitable hand with the big, pouting lips of the very Sphynx. Laugh and mock if yo ?will at the worship of stono idols, but hark ye this, ye breakers of images, that in one regard tho stone idol bears awful semblance of deity-unchaugenbleuess in the midst of change-tlie sumo seem? ing will and intent for ever and over in? exorable! upon ancient dynasties of Ethiopean Kings-upon Greek and Ro? man-upon Arab and Ottoman conquer? ors-upon Napoleon dreaming of an Eastern Empire-upon battle and pesti? lence-upon the ceaseless misery of tho Egyptian race, upon koen-eyed travel? ers-Herodotus yesterday, and Warbur? ton to-day-upon all and moro this worldly Sphynx has watched and watched like a Providence, with tho same sad tranquil mien. And we, wo sboll die, and Islam will wither away, and tho Englishman leaning over to hold his loved India, will plnnt a firm foot on the banks of the Nile, and sit in the scats of the Faithful, and still that sleepless rock will lie watching and watching tho works of the new busy race, with those same sad earnest eyes, and tho same tranquil mien everlasting. You dare not mock at the Qphynx. Many find it hard to understand how a great nation Uko France can be over? run in a mouth, so as to appear almost as powerless as was degenerated Rome before Alario or Attila. But, setting aside the advantages of superior strategy and military organization, there are rea? sons for the phenomenon that an inspec? tion of the German newspapers easily disoloses. We read in one, for instance, that the entire olericnl force of a certain public office is away with tho army; in another port of tho same journal wo dis? cover that ull tho assistants of tho Burliu Chemical Laboratory, seven in number, are also absent in tho field. Wc Hud el?owbero that the lectures at tho Uni? versity in all tho principal departments have boen discontinued, including tho military, agricultural and architectural schools. The uppor forms of the gram? mar schools, even, havo sent many of their pupils into the ranks-ono of them no leas than eighteen out of forty. From these details, and many more like them,' we gather the true solution ol the mys? tery. Germany practically made a levy en masse at the outset, instead of waiting to do so until she had fought a doubtful or losing campaign.-New York Times. STEAM ON COMMON ROADS.-Tho prac? ticability of using steam ou couimou roads appears at last to have been tho? roughly tested in Scotland, where the success of Mr. R. W. Thompson's road steamers, after various trials, has earued for them tho endorsement of the most skeptical. A six-horse road steamer has been running for several months from Aberdeen, a distance of four miles, over a wretched road, to tho Kittoch Flour Mills. lu many parts of tho road the grade is one in eight, over which thc steam engine draws ten tons with great ease at the rate of three miles and a half an hour. When we havo canals navi? gated by steamboats, and locomotives run on common roads, "trade and travel" will inorease "beyond expres? sion." The Cubau bonds, of which much has been heard, are held at twenty-five cents on the dollar, and are chiefly iu the hands of Cubans and other friends of the cause as subscriptions to the fund for carrying on the revolution, and not for any oxpeoted profit from tho bonds themselves. The securities aro in de? nominations of $100, 8500, 81,000 and 85,000, bearing ?eve? per cent, interest, payable in gold when the United States recognize tho republic, or tho war with Spain is ended. Tho total issue is about $3,000,000, of which two-thirds bavo been negotiated in some form, leaving abo a; $1,000,000 still available. South Carolina Rank and Trust Co..

Upon auch testimony, tho reputa? tion of HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS, aa an antidote and euro for many ailments, is baned. During thu twenty years that it baa been beforo tho world, innumerable prepara? tion intonded to compete with it, have gouo up liko rockets, and como down the extin? guished aticka. Meanwhile, tho progress of that incomparable tonic has been awitt and steady-alwayB upward and onward, like tho eaglo'B Hight. Its introduction produced a revolution in therapeutics, and it proved to bc ono of those salutarv revolutions that cannot go backwards. To-day, HOSTETTEII'H BITTERS ia ono Of tho most popular remedies in chris? tendom, and commands a larger Bale than any other medicinal preparation, domestic or im? ported, on thia of tho Atlantic. Aa a cure for dyspepsia, bilious diaordera, norvouB affec? tions, general debility, and as a proventivo of epidemic fevers, it takca precedence of every other remedy. Thia fact should teach the am? bitious couutry dealers who endeavor to foist their local abortions on the public in ita stead, how futile their small attempts to cajolo tho community must necessarily bc.

Telford, Missionary in China, 110W Visiting Ilia hume iu Pennsylvania. ] WASHINGTON, PENN. DEAn SIRS: During a residence of sonic ten years as a missionary iu Siam and China, I found your Yugo table Pain Kilier a mostvalu ablo remedy for that fearful scourge, Cholera. In administering thc medicine, 1 found it moBt effectual to give a teaspoonful of Pain Killer in a gill of hot water, sweetened with sugar; then, after about fifteen minutes, begin to givo about a teaspoonful of the same mix? ture every fow minutes until relief waa ob? tained. Apply hot applications to thooxtrcmi ties. Ratho'thu stomach with tho Pain Killer, clear, and rub thc limbs briskly. Ol' those who had tho Cholera, and took lite medicine faithfull)* iu tim way stated above, eight out of teu recovered. Truly yours, R. TELFORD. If attacked with tho Diarrhea, Dysentery, Cramp, Colic, don't delay use tif PAIN KILLER. FUNUCHOW, CHINA. DEAR SIRS: During a loug residence in Chi? na, 1 have used your invaluable Pain Killer, both in my own family and among tho Chi? nese, and have found it a most excellent me? dicine. In tho aunimur of lt?(i2 and '03, while residing in Shanghai. I lound it an almoat certain cure for Cholera, if used in time. In need, using it in a great many instances, I do not remember failiug in a singlo caae. For three years, I have been residing in this place, moro than fifty miles from a physician, and havo been obliged often to fall upon my owu resources in case of sickness. The Chinese como to us in great numbers for medicine and advice. Though without medical knowledgo ourselves, the few simple remedies wo can command aro so much in advance oven of their physicians, that we havo almost daily applications. We allow them to como, because it bringa us in contact with them, and opens a door of usefulness. In diarrhoea, colic, vo? miting, cholera, coughs, etc., your Pain Killer has bceu my chief medicine, yours very truly, T. P. CRAWFORD. Vf The Pain Killer ia aold by all dealcra in Family Medicines. " Sept 4 4?|Ini ?yer's Hair Vigor, For restoring Gray Hair to its natural Vitality and Color. A dressing which ?3 at onoe agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the hair. Faded or gray hair is soon restore^ to its original color, with the gloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is thick? ened, falling hair checked, and bald? ness often, though not always, cured l>y its usu. Nothing can restore the hair where tho follicles are destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed. But such as remain can bo saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling thc hair with a pasty sedi? ment, it will keep it (.dean anti vigorous, hs occasional use will prevent thc hair from turning gray or fulling off, and consequently prevent baldness. Freo from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous, and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not hann it. Tf wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not Foil white cambric, and yet hists long on tho hair, giving it a rich, glossy lustro and a grateful perfume. Prepared by Dr, J. C.

Aug 18 "BAD BLOOD." 'THE LIFE IS*THE BLOOD." FROM it wo derive our strength, beauty and mental capabiliticH. lt is tho centre of our hoing, around which revolves all that makes existence happy. When this source is corrupted, tho painful e ffects aro visible in many shapes, prominent among winch ia SCROFULA. This ia a taint or infection of the human organism, and probably no ono ia wholly free from it. It exhibits itself in various shapes as Ulcers and Sores, Decayed Bonce, Diseased Scalp, Sore Eyea, Weak and Diseased Joints, St. Vittia' Dance, Foul Discharges from the Nostrils, Eruptions, Glandular Swellings, Throat Affections, Rheumatism, Heart Atlee. tiona, Nervous Disordera, Barr?rmeos, Diaor? ders of tho Womb, Dropay, Syphilitic Affec? tions, Liver Complaint, Salt Rheum, Dyspep? sia, Neuralgia, LOBB of Manhood and General Debility. It bas been tho custom to treat these di? seases with Mercury and other Mineral Bub stancea, which, though sometimes prodncing a euro, often prove injurious, and entail miae ry iu after life. Tho long known injurious propertica of these no-called alteratives and puritierB baa lcd tho philanthropical man of science to explore the arena of nature, the re? sult of which hap been the discovery of vege? table producta which posses tho power of eradicating these taints from tho Blood.
