The daily phoenix. (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, April 14, 1875, Image 1
BY JULIAN A. SELBY
A despatch from Ironton, Ohio,
to the Chicago Tribune, says: "By
accident, Captain John S. George,
a lawyer of this city, discovered,
yesterday, a specimen of peculiar
ore, which was found in one of the
rolling-mill coal-bins among coal
dug near tho Ironton tunnel, five
miles from this city, which, on ex?
amination, proved to be a consol?
idated lump of pure. diamonds, j
weighing net about twenty-nine |
ounces-, and is valued at ?400,000.
Many such lumps have been found
here before by tho minors, but
were thrown aside as worthless.
Steps will be taken at once to se?
cure rights, options, &c. Tho
matter, has created intense excite?
ment among those who have ex?
amined the specimen."
A shadow comes, upon the efful?
gent yarns about the Black Hills
gold.discoveries. Gold which par?
ties claimed to have brought from
the bills was examined by some old
miners at Sioux City the other day,
who declared that it bad been dug
out of the ground for several years,
and bore evidences of having been!
carried about for sensational pur
, poses. This announcement caused1
great 'excitement among parties
who were preparing to go to the
gold ; fields, and the men who
brought th? "specim?n" got out of |
toWn'as quickly as they could.
Jpe Howard, of the New York
Slar> Bays that Beechor has such a
kindly heart, that, if a party of
burglars Were to break into his
house some night to steal every?
thing he hod, he would turn to his
wife ahd Say: "Ma, you'd better
, give these people some coffee and
cakes.'/ "Ma" would be very apt
to. drop some poison in the coffee,
however. 1 She is not quite so emo
tidnal as "Pa."
A woman in Switzerland was re
cently married to a man in America ]
by. proxy. This, looks as if it might j
prove to be the first step towards a
system of hajipy marriages. The
proxy experiment, should have a
full and fair trial. /
You never heard a woman with
a NJcj.j .3 foot howling against short
drestiea.. It's the females with
raisin-bos pedals that are raising
this row:
"??' dark, and yet so light," as
the man said when he looked at
his ton of obaL
Mr. Fitch ?<? said to have said
that he wished the deuce had Min
nie'n diamonds.

The symptoms of Liver Complaint are
uneasiness and pain in the side. Some?
times tho pain is in tho shoulder, and is
mistaken for rheumatism. The stomach
is affected with loss of appetite and sick
Iness, bowels in general costive, and
sometimes alternating with lax. The
head is troubled with pain, and dull,
heavy sensation, considerable loss of
memory, accompanied with painful sen?
sation of having left undone something
which ought to have been done. Often
complaining of weakness, debility and
low spirits. Sometimes many of the
above symptoms attend the disease, and
at other times, very few of them; but the
Liver is generally the organ most in?
volved.
SIMMONS' UVElf ^REGULATOR!
For all Diseases of tho Liver, stomach and Spleen !
IT is evidently a Family Medicine, and by being kept ready for im?
mediate, resort, will Have many an hour of suffering, and "many a
dollar in time and doctors' bills.
After forty years' trial, it is still receiving the most unqualified testi?
monials of its virtues from persons of the highest character and re?
sponsibility. Eminent physicians commend it as the most
EFFECTUAL SPECIFIC
for Constipation, Headache, Pain in the Shoulders, Dizziness. Sour
Stomach, bad tosto in tho Mouth, bilious Attacks, Palpitation of the.
Heart, Pain in the region of the Kidneys, Despondency, Gloom and
forebodings of evil; all of which are the offspring of a diseased Liver.
If you feel Dull, Drowsy, Debilitated, have frequent headache.
Mouth tastes badly, poor Appetite and Tongue Coated, yon are suffer?
ing from Torpid Liver, or "Biliousness," and nothing will cure you so
speedily and permanently.
The Liver, the largest organ in t*?? body, is generally the seat of the
disease, and if not Regulated in time, great suffering, wrctchednchs
and DEATH will ensue.
Armed with this ANTIDOTE, all climates and changes of water and
food may be faced without fear. As remedy in MALAHIOUS
FEVERS, BOWEL COMPLAINTS, RESTLESSNESS. JAUNDICE,
