COLUMBIA, S. C. Saturday BLornin?. June 29, 1872. Hope for th? State. - We have been long ago convinced, and have so expressed ourselves, that reform ia oar wretched State Government is attainable only through the Republican party. The leaders mast be Republi? cans, the movement mast originate in that party, and be clearly Republican io all its essentials. The reason of this, briefly, is the prejudice of the black pe opio against the Democratic party, and the fear and distrust which has buen instilled iato their minds against their former owners on all questions of po? litical action. Tho fulso and poisonous doctrine whispered into their cars by crafty me?, that tho white people are their political enemies, bas taken firm hold of their hearts. With this convic? tion, and being, as a geaeral thing, una? ble to reason like intelligent people, they make arbitrary and irrational rules of political oonduot for themselves, the leading one of which is never to favor any projeot lead or controlled by the white people. It is a pity that this is so. Did the black people ia the exor? cise of their newly acquired rights of citizenship display the sumo independ? ence aad determine their party affilia? tions by the same intelligent considera? tions as the generality of white people do, it would prove no leen b?n?ficiai to them than to the cou a try. Their blind adherence in a solid mass to any one po? litical party cannot bat tell against them ia the end. Their party cannot always be ia the ascendant, and if they continue to array themselves, without any notice? able exceptions, against all that is com? mendable ia government, aad choose dis? honest men for their represeatativeB, who plunder the communities ia which they live, it may not be well for them in the day that their minority shall come. In ebort, we do not thiak it wise for the colored people to. stake their rights aad privileges apoa the success of any oae political party, as they now are doing. Still they will do it, and there? fore it ia that we.cau. hope for.no ameli? oration of our State affairs, except through the party, to whioh they have chosen to ally themselves, body.and soul. "We have waited and suffered and been plundered a long while. The present State officials would have been hurled from offioe auder a normal ooaditioo of affairs two yeats ago; yes, aad seat to the penitentiary to expiate their manifold frauds and peculations. Indeed no peo? ple,of average education and intelli? gence would ever have entrusted such mea with public offices at all. The balk of them have thief stamped on their very faces. But here they have been, for four long, cruel years, like demons, dealing destruction on all around and laughing at the raia they made. We are glad to believe .that the day of deli ver? aneo draws nigh. That struggle within the Bepublican racks to which only we may look for immediate help has already commenced; at least we believe so. At a Republican meeting iu Abbeville, a few days ago, Orr, after repeatiag the senae leus tirade which he indulged ia here about Grant's loveliness aad the Ka Klux abominations, launched out ia a terrible crusade against Scott, Moses, Neagle, Parker, aad tho State Government gene? rally. He declared war against them, and there were none bold enough to take np their defence. Earle, of Greenville, who is the most able aad respectable Be? pablioau ia that County, we learn, has joined the standard of revolt against the corruptions aad the infamies of the ring. Mackey is to lead the columns from the North-eastern seotion of the State, aad ia the low ooaatry a wide? spread disaffection has long been mani? fest. The chief causo of hope, however, is that Grant and the Republican authori? ties at Washington have poshed forward and will sustain the opposition to Scott & Co. This, we have reliable authority for stating, ia the ease, It Staads to reaBon, too, that it should be true. Grant's administration is charged, aad justly, with the humiliating condition of things whioh exists ia the Southern States, plaoed by reconstruction nader Radical mle. Good and patriotio men at tho North do not regard as trivial the wholesale ruin of these States, which the United States has expended billions of treasure upon, and shed the blood of a million men in order to preserve the Union. Besides that, the conduct of the Government to tho South has been inhuman; and the condition of Sooth Carolina, for instance, where the will of Congress has been supreme, is a d jpg race to the American, republic. The know? ledge of these things is having its influ? ence against Grant, aod turning the .hope of the country to Greeley. With ft desire to cheek this, and, perhaps, with some sort of regret for tho mischief he has caused, Qrant has issued bia flat thai the thieves in South Carolina are to be in? dulged no longer. Their merry daya are over. They are a olog to the party and to Grant. The latter is stripping for the fight with the hewer of Chappaqua, whom he is at last horrified to find a moat powerful antagonist. He is on slippery ground, anyway, and his rusting armor bas many a broken and shattered spot. Taken at such unavoidable dis? advantages, he cannot afford to be shouldered with the additional weight of Scott, Neagle, Parker and Moses, with their $12,000,000 of South Carolina bonds stuffed in their pockets. Grant sees sturdy old Horace, with his axe upon bis shoulder, bearing down rapidly upon him. He is in a critical condition. He must shake off tbeeo dead weights that hang about him, or else the day is lost. Orr is the man to relieve bim, if any? body can; so prance out, Orr, aud help your ohief. We will obeer you this one time, and beg that you will do your devoir os a true knight, and when yon get the dastards down, remember tho people's plunder in their pockets and make them disgorge. ?-??-? THE JUBILEE.-The French Academy once defined a crab to be "a small red fish that walks backwards." Proud of their definition, they took it to the famous naturalist Cuvier for his approval and any corrections he might moko. "You are correct, gentlemen," said Cuvier, "absolutely oorreot, with one or two exceptions. The crab is not a fish, it is not red, and it does not walk back? ward." Very Bimilar to the Academy's definition of a crab in its inappropriate? ness, is tho name that the Great Boston International Musical Jubilee has arro? gated to itself. It ia "International" in no proper sense of that word, "musical" it certainly is not to any true lover of music, and though it may be to the Bostonians a jubilation, nobody but they would think of calling it a jubilee. It is simply "Great Boston" in its pre? tentiousness, in its fuss and noise, and in trying t,o, pass itself off for something better tuan it really is. The whole affair is a combination to glorify, enrich and benefit Boston at the expense of other people. The real masio in it is, to the native of that oity, the pleasant rustle of the bank notes of the "outside barba? rians" who flock to her hotels, crowd her restaurants, and pass their money over tho counters of her stores. SOUTHERN SECURITIES MORE ACTIVE. The New York'Herald, of Wednesday, in its money article, Baye: The Southern State bonds were more aotive, witb, in several features, a consi? derable improvement. Parties from the South say that the crops of cotton, wheat and corn will prove unusually large this fall, and that a more prosperous condi? tion exists generally in the Southern States. At the same time, a hope is entertained that tho expected coalition between the Liberals and Democrats will restore the State administrations to tho Demooratio party, in view of which tbe so-called old bonds of the Southern States will be certain to be most gene? rously treated in all financial legislation. The first indiaation of this state of feel? ing was given in the old North Caroli? nas, wbiob advanoed abont two per cent, in two day's dealings, closing strong at 35@36. The reaction in the new South Carolinas continued, and the July issues sold at 31 but were subsequently of? fered at 31. MAY A MAN MAURY HIS BROTHER'S WIDOW?-The Jewish Church, press and public, in New York city, have been scandalized by a marriage between a German Jew of wealth and good connec? tions and his brother's widow, a union which, according to the Hebrew interpre? tation of Mosaio law, is incestuous and an unpardonable'sin. The parties were both rioh and very muoh in love witb each other, but an obstacle fixed genera? tions ago by an orthodox European synod stood in the way, and threatened excommunication if they consummated their vows in wedlock. Several rabbis refused to unite them, and only when the bride-groom equivocated and told Dr. Huebsoh that be was a cousin of the bride's first husband, would be solem'ze their marriage. The near relatives aro well enough pleased, and only tho organs and the priests and defenders of the old laws and traditions of Judaism ure espe? cially put ont by it. The Jewish Times refers to it as an incestuous marriage, and severely criticises Dr. Huebsoh as guilty of wilful complicity with the parties or oriminal negligence. A YOUNO LADY BURNED TO DEATH. We learn tbat a young lady, abont fifteen years of age, the daughter of Mr. John Faulkenbury, of this County, was so se? verely burnt a few days ago, that sho lived but a short time*. She went to a neighbors house for fire, and on ber re? turn, by some means, her clothes caught, and all efforts to put ont the blaze proved ineffective, A youncrer sister finally came to her rescue, but not until the sufferer was BO seriously burned as to result in her death.-Lancaster Ledger. Mrs. Mary Jane L. Bishop, a wealthy widow lady, about fifty years of ago, died suddenly in New York, on the 26th. Mrs. Bishop had long been of very in? temperate habits, and it appeared in evidenoe tbat she drank a gallon of bran* dy every week, besides indulging exten? sively in champagne and other liquors. THE JEWS IN Ku UM AN IA.-The perse? cution of the Jews ia the Roumanian principalities is a disgrace to the civil? ization of the age. The countries along the shores of the Danube have for ceu I tories made that region a favorite Jew? ish centre. The result of the Crimean war was supposed to be a gain to the Jews. The treaty of 1856, and the sob aequeot additional treaty sigaed by the , coaventioa of 1858, made foll provision for the religious liberty of all the Eu? ropean subjects of the Saltaa. Article .i? of the coaventioa of 1858 guarantees equal liberty to all Cbristiaa creeds, with the privilege of legislative extension to ull other rites. In 1870, such were the encouragements given in Roumauia, the Israelites had increased to tho number of 400,000, and tho synagogues at the same dato numbered 170. It is said thal in France, ubout that period, the Jews did not exceed in number 100,000, and that in the three kingdoms of England, Scotland and Ireland, there wero not over 45,000 of that unmixed race. lu 1858, Moldavia uud Wulluchia were united under the common name of Rou mania, and the rapid increase of the Jewish population in the united princi? palities, with their activity and growing prosperity, became a source of trouble to the Governmeut of Prince Charles. The trouble, UH nil the world know?, has continued uutil this day. It is said that in no part of the v "rid uro the children of Israel so porsooutod as they have been in Roumauia. The British Government and our owu have remonstrated in re? gard to it, and now the British and Ita? lian Governments have proposed a con? ference of the great powers on the sub? ject, and to debate also the propriety of a direct allied pressure ou tho Roumani? an Government to compel measures for the executive repression of tho barbar? ous outburst against the Jews in that country. Prince Gortschakoff declines, on behalf of Russia, being deterred by apprehensions that the proposition viii serve only to excite au agitation of tho dreaded Eastern question. He agrees, however, that the powers moro immedi? ately interested shall address a joint note to the Bonmanian Government demand? ing an explanation of its intentions, ancV a definition of the guarantees which Prince Charles can offer for tho protec? tion of the Jews in the future, and thus awaken the Bucharest executive to a sense of its official responsibilities. Should tho Roumanian reply prove un? satisfactory to tho cosignatories of the note, the Emperor of Russia would pro? pose a settlement of tho difficulty on the basis of the treaty of 1858. The Prus? sian Government is said to take the same ground as Russia. It is to be hoped, iu the interests of Immunity and civilization, that such e pressure will be brought to bear upon Roumauia as will prevent the recurrence of barbarities. [Baltimore Sun. -,- ?? ?-? WHAT THE BELIOIOUS PRESS SAYS. The Golden Age (Theodore Tiltou) di? lates upon what it calls "The Successful Failure at Philadelphia," and draws a parallel "between the two Republican parties," to nae its own phraseology. Says the Golden Age: "Cincinnati, fresh from tho people, initiated a long-needed movemeut of re? form; Philadelphia, drawing its breath from the publia offices, clamored like claquera in n theatre fora ooutinuauce of the Administration aud the re-appoint? ment of its 50,000 paid stipendiaries. Cincinnati deoiared for the one-term priuoiple; Philadelphia wan us hushed ns the grave concerning this central aud main-spring measure of civil service re? form. Cincinnati domanded that our foreign policy should ask for nothing that was not right, and submit to no? thing that was wrong; Philadelphia, for? getting this maxim of Jackson, connived at the Alabama surrender, and gave this ignominy the name of honor. Cincin? nati protested against elevating the mili? tary over the oivil law; Philadelphia en? tertained itself with a picture of Grant on horseback, as typical of the adminis? tration which it seeks to maintain in power. Ciuciunati denounced tho abuses which the Government hus feared to in? vestigate; Philadelphia was a pre-ar? ranged mechanism, subordinating tho in? dividual freedom of its delegates to affect a unanimity which did not exist, by au enginery which itself was one ol the chief abuses of whioh tho Adminis? tration has been guilty. Cincinnati wae for universal amnesty; Philadelphia wae for limiting this clemenoy. Cincinnati denounced the distribution of public offices among persons who had given gifts to the President; Philadelphia offi? cially represented these givers and re? ceivers. Cincinnati denounced nepo? tism; Philadelphia bandaged its eyet into blindness to it. Cincinnati indicted the Pr?sident as a violator of law Philadelphia gave a sycophant's compli? ment to his practical wisdom. Oinoin nati proposes to noite the North aad thc South oa tho basis of liberty, equality aad fraternity; Philadelphia determines to tear open afresh the healed wounds oi tho two sections. Cincinnati is foi peace; Philadelphia for war. Fellow countrymen, choose between them." .- # - Gov. B. K. Scott, Comptroller Nea gie and Superintendent Jiilson posset up on this road last Wednesday, on theil way to attend the examination of th? pupils ia the Cedar Springs Deaf anc Dumb Asylum. We believe that this ii the first time the Governor has honoree the terrible Ku Klux region by his pre sance.-Union Times. MOBS ARRESTS.-Grant's night ridon continue their nootaraal visits to dif fereot parta of the County. A numbei of men have boca arrested lately aad re leased, but we have only been ablo tc learn the names of Bobort Davis ant Joseph BurgesB, among tho victims. [Union Times. The jewelry store of Mr. O'Connor, ot King street, ono door South of Bad oliffe, in Charleston, was entered ot Wednesday night, and a large amount o valuable goods carried off by the thieves THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CONVEN? TION.-Last evening, pursuant to ad? journment, the resident committee, of the National Democratic Sub-Committee having charge of the preparations for the National Democratic Convention, to be held at Ford's Qrand Opera House, io this city, on the Otb of July, met at Raine's Hall. Considerable routine bu? siness was transacted, after which Mr. John T. Ford roported bis progress and plans in the fitting np of the Opera House for tho Convention purposes. The artists are industriously at work preparing State banners and devices of various kinds to beautify and adorn thu interior. Each banner will contain the coat of arms of tho State it represents, and tho seats of the various delegations will be designated by vari-colored silk markers, trimmed with gold bullion fringe. Some 3,000 feet of evergreens will bu tastefully distributed along the tiers and walls, ciiaugiug the winne ap? pearance of the house. The President's desk will be ou a raised platform on the stage, and will be handsomely decorated with nationul ensigns, Ssa. The desk of the Secretary and assistants will bo im? mediately in front. Reporters' desks to the number of 2U0 will bo provided, and tho greatest possible facilities secured for the comfort and convenience of the press. Elegant portraits of Washing? ton, Jefferson, Jackson, Carroll of Cur roUton, and other distinguished men will be placed in appropriate positions. The lobbies, balls, entrances, corridors, committee rooms, ka., will bu festooned, and made most attractive. The exterior of the buildiug will be made to look its gayest, with flags, ever? greens, mottoes, devices, ?fcc. One cu trauco door will bo assigned exclusively to delegates, whilst another will be de? voted to tho accommodation of the au? dience. Ushers and pages will bo pro? vided, and in fact nil will be doue that industry, taste, und a desire to exteud a cordial welcome to the visitors, can sug? gest. James L. McLaue, Esq., is the committee on decorations, ?co. It was determined by the resident committee to at once begin the arrangements for a grand ratification meeting in Monument Square on the night of the day on which, the Convention will finish its labors. This will probably be on Wednesday night, the lOtb, or Thursday, tho 12th ol July.-Baltimore Sun, 21th. "THOUGH ABSENT, NOT FORGOTTEN." Tho sudden disappearance of President Grant after the adjournment of Congress seems to have raised quite a storm of indignation, particularly among his friends. Tho Washington Patriot, of yesterday, gives us the following account of the prevailing discontent in Wash? ington,.- while the President disports himself in thc "dog cart" ut Long Branch: "The sudden departure of the' Presi? dent from Washington, and his culpable ueglect of public duty, have excited much feeling among oven pronounced Republicans, which some of them will probably soon make known in a practi? cal form. Various Senators and Repre? sentatives, who bud claims to urge or interests to promote, were postponed by General Porter and other so-called mili? tary 'secretaries,' upon the plea that thu pressure of public business prevented the President from hearing them then. They were asked to await uutil Congress should adjourn, when their representa? tions could be better considered, and when the President would be glad to consult their wishes. "Upon these conditions they agreed to refrain from any urgent pressure, nud, us was understood, in ucoordance with the President's request. Accordingly, when Congress did adjourn, these 'loyal' friends of the Administration rushed to tho White House, supposing they bad a great advantage over others not in the secret. It is easy to imagine their surprise upon discovering that the President had taken the first train for Long Branch-bad carried oil tbe Ad? ministration with him, and left no one to represent either at the Wbite House but a door-keoprr, who did not 'think they would return before next winter.' Senator Logan, who had a special ap? pointment, and who had just given in his adhesion to Grunt, was virtuously in? dignant at this treatment. Others, whose fidelity had not been under suspi? cion, refreshed their wrutb by curses loud and deep. And others, still, came away muttering tho name of Greeley, as if that beut compressed thc idea of ap? proaching vengeance." BEWARE OP SWINDLERS.-Tho Savan? nah News has the following cautionary remarks, which may be of much-service to the people if heeded: We would caution the readers of the News against an organized company of swindlers who have their headquarters in New York, and have been for several months past distributing circulars all through tbe South, offering to arrange mortgages, advance money, etc., on reasonable and satisfactory terms. They profess to control a very large capital, and pretend to respectability. The usual formular is gone through with after some person has been induoed to correspond with the liberal firm, in the hope of get? ting a small loan, and he is invited to for? ward 810 as a fee "for registration," when the amount desired will be imme? diately sont. The money is mailed, and that is the last ever heard of it. It is astonishing after the frequent exposures that have boen made of similar swindlers that, are to bo found in this section, men are credulous enough to entertain such propositions a moment, yet we learn that several persons in this vicinity have been victimized by these "heathen Chinese," and we make this mention in order that our readers may be on their guard. Something new in this latitude is promised at the next term of the Circuit Court for the 8th circuit, to be held at Anderson Court House, in tho shape of a breach of promise case. THE POPE AND BISMARCK.-The Pope received the members of the German Literary Club, of Borne, on June 25, and in the course of his remarks upon the occasion made use of the following language : " The persecution of Catholics has commenced in Germany, but they display courage under affliction, and have notified the German Government that the persecution of the church is folly. The church, Baid the Holy Father, remains triumphant. Wo huve asked Priuce Bismarck how it is that the once contented German Bishops have, accord? ing to the expressed belief of the Ger? man Government, been suddenly trans? formed into dangerous conspirators. No reply has yet beeu received. Let us pray to our Father in Heaven that the stone may fall that will complete the overthrow of the colossus." At the first reading of the bill directed against the Jesuits in the German Par? liament, June 14, the Federal Commis? sary, Fricdberg, declared that tho law was but provisional, and necessitated by the dangerous opposition of the Order of Jesus to the State. The measure was not iu antagonism to the Roman Catho? lic Church, and the Order of Jesus must not, iu any way, bo identified with that creed. The Federal Commissary desig? nated ns kindred societies the Ligorians and tho Frers Ignorant i ns, as well as two Orders of School-fellows, which were re? spectively under the French and Roman authority. In the course of the debate, Privy Councillor Wagner pointed out that it was not Prussia, but the Roman Catholic Church that bad originated the quarrel. The ruliug party in that church was tampering with German unity and religious peace. Tho Jesuits were in league with foreign powers against Ger? many. A .'cording to diplomatic reports tho French Jesuits were forming a Ro? man Catholic league iu France, Italy, Austria and Germany, and promoting fanaticism among the lower classes, trades unions aud societies. A part of the German Jesuits had been won over to this plan, and all such projects must be opposed. Theodore Tilton, in the Golden Age, says: "Wo believe in Providential op? portunities. One such is before us. Not to seize it is to lose it. The South, nt this hour, is full of unexampled good will to the North. Will the Democratic party, therefore, take tho South by one baud, tho North by tho other, and per? form tho priestly office of uniting the twain as one? lu other words, will Bal? limore seoond Cincinnati? Tho ques? tion is momentous, for on its settlement the future destiny of this nation de? pends. We can have what Daniel Web? ster called 'one country, oue constitu? tion, oue destiny'-provided only the Northern Democrats are actuated by that spirit of oneness. The reign of tho sword can be ended, and the reign of law begin-provided ouly . Baltimore says tho word. State rights,'Can be re? stored, and Federal usurpation driven back oat of every State of the Union provided only Baltimore so decrees. Ne? potism eau be banished to the limbo of execrable memories-provided only Bal? timore render no second-hand help to the nepotist. Local self-government can be re-enacted iu all the South-provided only Baltimore shall join iu the Cincin? nati demonstration against the Federal centralist. President Grant can be de? feated, and Horace Greeley elected-pro? vided only Baltimore shows its iron gauntlet to the one, and its open palm to the other. Tho nation's future hangs in tho unbalanced scale of to-day. We await the verdict with the anxiety which brooda and muses iu advance over fate's unknown decree." DUTCH HEINRICH'S PARTNER.-Jacob Albrecht, the notorious bank thief, and well known in thiscity as ono of "Dutch Heinrich's" comrades, and an account of whose singular escape from the Prussian State prison at Moabit was given several weeks ago, was re-captured recently by the Prussian detectives in the small town of Wittenberge, Province of Braden burg, where he bad been concealed for nearly a week in tho cottage of a peasant. Wheu the detectives burst into tho room where ho was hidden, he drew a revolver and fired several shots at them, but with? out effect. He wus speedily overpowered and taken in irons to Berlin. lu his possession were fouud several hundred dollars in gold, a passport to tho United States, and a large quantity of clothes. He obstinately refused to give any in? formation us to how he had escaped from the Moabit prison, or who had aided him in his daring flight. Even a diet of bread and water and several other disci? plinary penalties failed to elicit anything from him. The criminal court of Berlin added four years to tho four years' im? prisonment for which he had originally been sentenced for robbing the Boyal Discount Company; and he was then taken baok to Moabit. Daring the first six months of his confinement here Albrecht will bo chained to the wall. [New York Timen. BULLO OK TURNED BROWN.-The Sa? vannah Advertiser learns from a reliable gentleman, who has just returned to Sa vaooah from a visit to Canada, that he saw the ex-pub. fane, of Georgia, B. B. Bullock, at St. Catberieaes, only a few days since, where himself and wife are registered at the hotel os Mr. and Mrs. Bufas Brown, Toronto, Canada. Bufns, it is saiei, is looking well, and appears to have plenty of money. On the other hand, the Washington correspondent of the Atlanta Constitu? tion says: B. B. Bullock has been heard from at Montreal, where he is living in exile. It is said that he is poor, too. PAS9 THIS AROUND.-The relatives of L. A. LeMay are desirous of hearing of his whereabouts. LeMay isa printer by profession, and has only one leg. Ad? dress W. C. LeMay, Brook-haven, Miss. 1,326 water-molous were shipped to New York, from Savannah, on Saturday last. TZa ooal items. . ? ? CITY MATTERS.-The pri?e of singla copies of the PHONIX is five oents. Now that melons, penches, &0., are bcooming plentiful, the throwing of rinds or skins upon the pavement should be made punishable by fine. The exercises of the annual publie day at the University will begin at ll o'clock, this morning, at the chapel within the campus.

COLUMBIA FEMALE COLLEGE. - We learn that the Executive Committee of the Trustees of the Columbia Female Col , lege, which met at the College Chapel j Thursday night, unanimously resolved to open the institution on the first of I next January. Weare pleased to record this oction of tho committee, and we hope that the college will receive that patronage which we are confident it will so richly merit. POSTAGE ON PRINTED MATTER.-In an? swer to a correspondent on the subject, we would state that the postage on pe? riodicals, ?fcc., is ohanged so as to allow it to be paid on less than four ounces. Formerly it was two cents on every four ounces, or fractional part of an ounce. Now it is one cent on every two ounces, or fractional part of an ounce. A post? master has no right to charge postage on a County paper (weekly) when said paper is delivered in that County; but if delivered in an adjoining County, post* ago must be paid. FOURTH OF JULY REGULATIONS.-We took occasion, in Thursday's issue, to refer to tho necessity of action on the part of tbe City Council to prevent the dangerous ase of pistols, fire crackers or other explosive materials, within the city limits, and principally on Main street, pu the Fourth of July and Christ? mas. Since then, a contemporary has taken up the subject, and produces evi? dence of damage to property by the care? less uso of fire-arms ou such occasions. There should be an ordinance forbid? ding the firing of combustibles in any street in the city. We hope that the authorities will take thc matter in hand, and afford all necessary protection to persons and property. PHONIXIANA.- Take her up tenderly, lift her with care-None know how dear? ly she paid for her hair. Relative beauty-A- pretty cousin. No man has a right to do as he pleases unless be pleases to do right. The ceusus credits Muskegon, Michi? gan, with 5.G02 inhabitants, and she has now but 100 places where liquor is sold. Columbia can beat that. An up-train-A short skirt. Tho Paris Pairie learns that "Mon? sieur Greeley, the great American farm? er, was elected President of the United States at Cincinnati, and will be in? stalled at Washington in November." We perceive in a daily paper an ad? vertisement whioh informs the publie that boarding for the summer can be ob? tained at "a large and shady brick gen? tleman's residence in the country." We should think that this offer would be very attractive to persons who want to live with such a man. DUTOHER'S LIGHTNING FLY-KTT.T?EB sweeps them off and clears the honse speedily. Try it.
