PAMS, April 25.-Doa Garlos, with a
force of 10,000, is said to be across the
Spanish border. It is reported that an
understanding exists between the Re?
publicana and Carlists, to the effect that
the latter will draw the tioops into the
open country, and the former will rise
against the Government. Patriotism is
rampant in the Cortea.
PAMS, April 26.-Tho situation in
Spain bas become very serious. The

cessful.

"The Langley Manufacturing Com?
pany, of Langley, S. C., was organized
in March, 1870, taking the property of
the Kalmia Mill Company, with all the
improvements made by them when they
failed for want of means to complete and
put in operation the cotton mill which
they projeoted. The Langley Manufac?
turing Company have completed the
dam and factory building, and put in
the water wheels and other machinery,
consisting of 0,600 ring spindles, sup?
plying 800 looms and weaving shirtings
and drills. The machinery was mostly
furnished by the Lowell Machina Shop,
and is now running very successfully,
turning off about 14,000 yards of a very
excellent artiole of sheetings and drills
per day that compare iu quality with the
Indian Head, Appleton and Atlantic A
41 sheetings and drills. Notwithstand?
ing the many disadvantages and discou?
ragements of thia pioneer manufactur?
ing company in the South, having lost
one dam, the repairs of which exceeded
$25,000, together with the many discou?
ragements of starting a ooltou mill in a
locality remote from other similur enter?
prises, this company have pushed for?
ward their work, and are now competing
with some of the best mills in the coun?
try. The capital stock of tho Langley
Manufacturing Company is S 100,000, of
which Wm. C. Langley & Co., of New
York oity, have a controlling iuterest.
The locality of tho piuco is pleasant aud
bealthy, within ten miles of Aiken, and
directly on the South Carolina Rn il road,
leading from Aiken to ( Augusta, GA.,
whioh latter pluce is about eight miles
distant."
We clip the above from the Bostou
Commercial Bullet in. Our co temporary
is mistaken in stating that Langley is
the pioneer manufacturing company in
tho South, and that it is remote from
other similar enterprises. The Rich?
mond Factory, Graniteville Factory,
Vaucluse Mills, (which were burned a
few years since,) all uoar Augusta, and
the Augusta Fuctory, were built and put
in operation long before tho Langley
Mills. Besides these, there are many
others in various parts of Georgia, which
have been manufacturing cotton and
woolen goods for mauy years past.

THE LATE NEQBO CONVENTION AT NEW
OBTJEANS.-The Herald's New Orleans
correspondent closes his acoonnt of tho
late negro equality convention in that
city, as follows:
Upon tho whole it has not beau a poli?
tical success. It effectually demonstrates
the existence of growing differences in
the negro ranks, which, in time, must
ripen; but it proves ouo fact fully aud
fm a Hy-that all idea of politics possess?
ed by the negro begins, centres and
ends iu tho doctrine of social equality.
Such is not only tho lesson taught by the
convention, but is the confession of all
tho more intelligent members with
whom, during tho session, I have con?
versed upon this point; they are just as
subject to local aud personal influences
as the whites.
G. FOR G!-A vehement maker of
words editing a Republican paper in tho
South, reciting the praises of his dog
breeding master at Washington, says:
"Grant won his brevets and his proud
position by gallant conduct in the field."
Good for Grant! Gallant conduot in
the field, breathing sweet sympathy in
the left ear of a feminine Digger Indian,
with ber mouth full of half chewed grass?
hoppers! That was the gallan test con?
duct we ever heard of. Oh, yes-Grant
was gallant aboriginally! "Let me kiss
him for bis mother!"

JURIES.-Tho stupid juryman who can
never fully comprehend who tho defend?
ant is, aud who has a conviction that the
prosecuting attorney is really tbe crimi?
nal on trial; the obstinate juryman, who
declines to bo influenced by the plainest
evidence; tho juryman of obstrusivo
hilliness, who asks preposterous ques?
tions in order to display his insanity;
and the deaf juryman, who never hears
a word of testimony and sleeps comfort?
ably through the entire trial, are types
with which every attendant at the court?
room is wearily familiar.

AN EXTRAORDINARY DIVORCE SUIT.
A divorce suit of a most extraordinary
character is now ou trial in tho Circuit
Court of St. Louis. Tho plaintiff, Wm.
Fowble, is a farm baud residing some
twelve or fifteen miles from tho city.
He alleges that early on tho morning of
April 8th, while comfortably snoozing in
his bcd, two men aroused him, and by
threats of death, compelled bim to ac?
company them to tho house of a neigh?
bor half a mile, aud on arriving there
made him staud up and be married
to a lady for whom ho had no inclina?

and entreaties, ho says the ceremony
was performed by a regularly ordained
preacher, and as soon as tho dreadful
affair wus concluded, be fled from the
house and from his blushing bride, and
has not seen her since.

According to ibo information, received
at Washington by the active friends of !
the Cincinnati Convention, there will be
delegates from every State in the Union
except Oregon, Nevada, Florida and

tion, however, will probably include j
among its representatives of the liberal ]
Republicans of Nevada and Oregon.
Either ex-Senator Foster, of Connecti?
cut, or Gov. Brown, of Missouri, or Gov.
Palmer, of Illinois, or Col. McClure, of I
Pennsylvania, will probably be elected
President of the convention, while there
will be a vice-President and Secretary
from every State and some of the Terri?
tories, includiug this District. The
various delegations, iu order to secure
proper State representation when the
balloting for President is commenced,
will hold meetings aud elect members
from each Congressional Distriot, and
thus change the convention from a Na?
tional Mass Convention into a National
Liberal Republican Nominating Conven?
tion. In that way only, it is stated, can
there bo ascertained a choice for a Presi?
dential nomination.

clasped by a diamond brooch that the 1
Queen of Eugluiid would not disdaiu to
wear. Tho sole ambition of tho Lima
lady, then, seems to be to outshine her
neighbor's diamonds, uud innumerable
little jealousies arise from tbeso attempts
at display. The fair Litnuuiau may be
successful in nil her little intrigues of
Stutu and of society-in which, indeed,
she truly delights-aud many revel in

DURAIUMTY OF WOODS.-Experiments
have recently beou made, by driving
sticks made of different woods, each two
feot long and ono aud a half inchos j
Dinare, into the ground, only a half iuch
projecting outward. It was found that
in live years, nil those made of oak, elm,
ash, fir, 6oft mahogany, uriel nearly every
variety of pino, wer? totally rotten.
Larch, hard pine aud teak wood were
decayeel on tue outside only; whilo
acacia, with tho exception of being also
slightly attacked on tho exterior, was
othcrwiso souud. Hard mahogauy aud
cedar of Lebauou were in tolerably good
condition. But ouly Virginia cedar was
found as good us wheu put in the ground.
This is of some importance to builders,
showing what wood should bo avoided,
and what others usetl in preference, in
under-ground work.

WHICH THH HUMAN AND WHICH THE
BBUTE?-The Dubuque (Iowa) Telegraph
vouches for the following singular hone
story:
On Monday evening last, a man whose
name we could not learn, was seen wend?
ing his way up Julien avenue, leading a
mare by the bridle. He was badly in
toxicated, so muoh so that he staggered,
and it was sometimes as much as he
could do to maintain his equilibrium.
The maro kept a close watch upon his
movemonts, and whenever he came near
falling the mare would grab his ooat col?
lar between her teeth end hold him up.
She did so no less than a dozen times, in
tho presenae of several spectators. The
druukeu man fell down in the street
once, but no sooner had he done so than
the animal grabbed the baok of his coat
and set him on his feet again. When a
little beyond MoNulty's house, the
owner of the mare met an acquaintance
of his who was also drunk. They en?
gaged in conversation, and, while talk?
ing, bumped against each other, and the
man first alluded to fell. He was imme?
diately picked up by the mare, and, just
as soon as she had fiuished her job, she
turned around and let her heels fly, in a
savage manner, at the man who knocked
her master down. Fortunately ber heels
missed the mark.
THE WHITE COUNT.-Those who de?
light in mystery will be glad to hear of
a new claimant to the throne of Spain,
whose career has been almost as strange
as that of the famous Man in the Iron
Mask, and will recall the interest
awakened some years ago by the ques?
tion, "Have we a Bourbon among us?"
It appears by lato advices from abroad
that a prince has appeared, and has been
recognized and received by the ex-King
of Naples aud otbers of the Bourbon
family. Hin history is thin: Ferdinand
VII of Spain, the father of the ex-Queen
Isabella, had four wives, one of whom
died in giving birth to a son. It appears
that this obild was sooretly taken to the
United Stages, was brought up in the
vicinity of Now Orleans, and there mar?
ried, in bia nineteenth year, a beautiful
creole. The son of this wedded pair is
the young man who now, under the odd
titlo of the Whito Count, olaims the
throne of Charles V. If his idontity be
established, he bas precedence over the
young Prince of the Asturias in his
claim. It is said that the Legitimists of
Spain are greatly excited over this new
heir to royal honors; but it seems quite
as probable that tho whole story is the
pleasant fiction of some lively French
feuilletonist.
STATISTICS OF COLOIIED SOLDIERS.
The Secretary of War has transmitted to
Congress a statement of the number of
colored Boldiors enlisted during the war,
their previous condition, and the amount
of money required to pay the enlisted
slaves' bounty. The total number en?

one-fifth have forfeited any claim upon
tho Qovernment by desertion and other
causos. The Secretary states that
case the bill posses, $2,000,000 will bc
required to pay the bounty allowed.

WHOSE HANDSOME HOUSE IS THAT?-Such
was the Inquiry of & traveler as he passed an
unusually well finished country residence, not
a thousand miles from hero. The style of the
Bashes, the brightness of the glass, the beau?
ty of the doors, the classic patterns of the
mouldings, the neatness of the balusters, and
the stateliness of the pillars around the piaz?
za, all atruok the traveler with astonishment
and admiration. And no wonder, for they
were all furnished by Mr. P. P. To ALF., No. 20

THE INVALID-A PXN PICTDBE.-See her
pallid countenance, but a short time ago the
picture of ruddy health, the envy of the
school and tho pride ot the household. She
was always welcomed by her schoolmates, for
her lithe form and pleasing disposition car?
ried obeerfulnoBB int j their ranks. Diligent,
punctual and exemplary, obedient and uraco
ful at home, she won the hearts of all. But,
alasl we are sorrowed. Those rosy cheeks
and ruddy lips are blanohed by conBamption.
Tho voice oteo so enchanting In laugh and
song is feeble, husky and supplanted by a
hollow cough. Let us approach her couch
gently and take her hand. Do not shudder
because of the feeble and passionless grasp.
The hand once so hearty and plump is ema?
ciated, and ?hows bouy outline?, while tho
cords and tortuous veins are plainly mapped
upon the surface. The pulse that bounded
with repletion, carrying vigor to the whole
system, and imparting life, beauty, vivacity,
health and strength, is delioate to the touch.
The feeble hoart cannot propel tho thin,
scanty blood with force. Must we lose ber
while yet in her teens? Companions and
friends gather .around with words of cheer
and consolation, and depart with moistened
eyes and silent steps. Must wo lose her? No.
there in a relief! We can stay this destroyer
of our happiness, and not suffer the loss of so
bright a gem.~ Something more is required
now than dietary and hygienic observance,
for nature calla for aid, ana she shall have it.
Take thia pleasant medicine. It is invigorat?
ing. How it allays the irritable cough, im?
proves the appetite and digestion, and sends
a healthy tingle through the frame. The
blood is enriched, nervous force increased,
and the heart bounds with a new impulse.
Seo her face brighton by degrees; tho color is
returning, her voice is getting clearer, and
pleasant words are spoken. Tho strength
falters yet, but is gaining. Let ns take her
out in tbe warm sunshine. In a short time,
Bbc will be able to go without our aid, a cheer?
ful girl. Thia delightfnl medicine must be
God-blessed, lt is restoring health to om*
loved ono. She is emerging from her sick?
ness ewoeter and nobler than before, and Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery must have
the credit. It has raised her. Sold by all
first class druggists everywhere.
TUE LATEST SWINDLE.-Certain sanctimo?
nious charlatans would fain persuade the
world that diffusive stimulants have no medi?
cinal value, and that detestable slops, com?
posed of griping acids and drastic purga?
tives, aro better tonics than the finest vege?
table ingredients combined with the purest
and mellowest products of the still. But this
sort of thing won't go down. The stomach
of onr common sense rt-jeots it, ns the physi?
cal stomach of everyman with an undepraved
palate rejectB, with loathing and abhorrence,
the nauseous abominations, "free from alco?
hol," which humbugs are trying to thrust
down the throats of temperance invalids,
under the pretence that the filth will do them
Sood. It is not likely that while PLANTATION
ITTKHS, tho standard Tonio of America, lia
anywhere acc?s, ible, such sickening frauds
can make mach headway, but it is as well to
put the public on their guard against them!
