ThuTsdat, iugast 30,1883, Brilliant Indeed 1 Last week, wc commented lupon a query of the News and Courier as to whether the Democrats in Congress would do what the Republicans refused to do and restore to the negroes the money their Radical friends stole from thorn in the Freedmen'e Bank. We said; iu substance, that if it was right that this money should be restored by the government, wc would have 4.0thins; to say against it, but that If the Demo crats proposed to restore this money afi 3 matter of policy, we could not see where any good would be accomplished. re have done a great deal for the ne gro m the way of education and nothing but ingratitude ia the return. The New* and Courier now adds: "We do not ad vocate this as a party measure by any means, but it will be a briliant stroke ol policy for the Democrats to return to ie "Wards of the Natron" the monev it their Republican guardians permit ted to be stolen." Brilliant indeed! II the Democrats were to restore even* ?ent of this money * the negroes would ?ay that the Republicans at the North tye it back to them, and nothing that wc could say would make them believe Otherwise, -The lamented Q?Connor did more for the negroes on l;his bill than any other man, and told them what he was doing m his pnblie speeches. But did they believe him ? Not a bit ef it. Asa mass, they voted solidly against him, and did all they could to elect a representative of the very party that ? stole the money, in preference to him. Be it remember'.-d, we are not arguiug against perfect and exact justice being ftndonc to-tfui-nt^jror?We advocate this at JPail times and nnder all circumstances. - But we see little ueed for any more 'policy. It brings no return. Whatever we do tor this race, must be done simply because it is right, and no longer because it is. politic, and probably time will work i put a change and remedy for the evds that now exist. Then and Now. pi?The New l'ork ISmcs, in a recent is? . sue, pronounced ex-Senator Dorscy a ???small hecr politician," an outcast and a thief, whereupon the Wjorld produces from the columns of the Times an ac count of the banquet given to Dorscy at Deimonico's after the election of 1SS0. >-^*>neral Grant presided, and declared V that to Dorsey's "skill, to his excellent ability," the Republicans were largely, if not wholly, indebted for the result of the "forlorn hope" in Qctobpr. Geue ral Arthur also epokc, and attributed the Indiana victory to the liberal re sponse of Mr; Morton's finance commit tee and Mri Dorffcy'a matchless skill, cool head raid wonderful courage. Mr. Arthur, continuing, said: "I don't thiuk wc had better go into minute secrets of the campaign, because reporters ar.e pre ?aeut." Iu view of the recent develop ments by Dorsey and his chosen lieutcu ant, there seems to have been wisdom in President-Arthur's desire to have the ???minute secrete" of the Indiana cam paign suppressed. So it will be seen jthat.tbjs "sjrnailfbcer politician, outcast, and thtod" was once the savior of the grand ol? party of great moral ideas.. ?P' ,The Municipal Election, ue week from next Tuesday our peo ple will be called upon to elect a Mayor and four Aldermen to govern our town for the ensuing two years. Every citi zen who has the welfare of our growing town at heart should feel sufficient inter est m the matter to give it some consid eration, and be willing to assist in elect v ing such a .ticket as will reflect the senti ? ment and intelligence of the better class of ourcitizens. Letushavcno bolting this time, but let the icspectable white and colored citizens put a good ticket in the field and elect it. Remember that "eler : nal vigilance is the price ofliberty," aud, kw-if we do not want to see our towu pass ^mto the hands of the unscrupulous Boli ver and the unsavory - whito aud colored ""^ 'sycophants' that he owns body and soul, we bad better be up aud doing. While \ we are doing nothing, the opposition is (being quietly organized by the scheming Bohver and his few white henchmen, . nud, on election day, will be hurled solid ?; ly against the virtue aud intelligence of I our community. It would be a disgrace for BoJivcr to be elected Mayor, and it must be prevented. Let us go to work. A Hobby. Every time ouc of these leaded-long -primer-small-picn-all-liomc-printcd-pa pers gets cornered for taking advertise ments for almost nothing, immediately the "patent outside" hobby is mounted and ridden furiously around the ring by the editor of the said all-home printed paper to the intcuse gratification of all who admire tiie art of hobby riding. These remarks are called forth by an cd torial iu a Icadcd-lcmg-prtmer-cxchanuc on the subject of advertising, in which a charge is made against "patent out sides" of reining the advertising busi ness. If the matter was fully investiga ted, we think the boot would be found to be on the other foo\ Several Mines we have rejected Charleston advertisements at the prices paid these same loud-mouth ed, all home printed papers, and yet " "tneV are wntinualh fowling about the ??patentoutsKie" papers ruining the busi ness. Give us a rest, gentlemen, and your pajrons better papers, aud then you can charge living prices for your work. The New York Tribune raises the outcry that the solid South, with its 153 voles, can control the "United States whenever it can add to its solid vote 48 Northern electoral votes; The New York }}'or!d pei tineutly replies: "How about solid New Eugja?d ? Why should she be solidly Republican and the South fail to have the same rigid to ,vote as it pleases?" A Correction. The Georgetown Enquirer is edited by a niah of the right stamp. Sometime ago that journal insinuated that we shaped our views on the tarilf question in derereuco to the ouinious of Mr. Dib - 4)le on the subject. Having proven to our cotempomry that the charge was un founded, lost week it made the following manly statement: *'We frankly*1 acknowledge (he injus tice done to the'Times and Democrat, and willingly make reparation for our unintentional error. In return for which ?. we would ask our cotemporary if it cau ; not see its way clear to a graceful re traction'ol'.'the charge that we "garbled' , its articles.". * We assure pur brother of the Enquirtr that we shan't quftrrel about the matter mentioned m the last sentence of the J above extract. We are of the opinion i that a man who is so prompt in correct ' ing an error, fis our brother, is incapable of so mean a thing as garbling our arti ?clcs. or anybody else'3, with the inten tion of distorting facts. Foolishness. Last week, the Georgia Legislature passed, and tent to the Governor for his .. signature, the registration bill, which Is i certainly a very singular anomaly in po? i litical legislation. A body which has I a tremendous Democratic majority has : deliberately made an apportionment for Congress which gives to the Republicans ! six district* with majorities ranging from ; 19.000 to ?6.000 in round numbers. , while to the Democrats they give four [ districts with majorities ranging from ? a,000 to 101,000 in round numbers. It i would have been an easy matter to have i made all the districts solidly Democrat? . ic, which ought to have been douc by all ? means. This apportionment is the most : absurd piece of foolishuee?s wc have heard of lately. The Renson Why. The Winusboro Ketos and Herald, of last week, says: ??The ORANGRBtTRd Times and Democrat is full of Randall those days." Our esteemed cotemporary will be surprised to learn, no doubt-, that we have no apologies to make for being what it is pleased to term "full of Randall." , Mr. Randall, as we have said before, is not our special favorite for the Speak ship, any more than any other Demo crat, but, as a true and tried Democrat, we do think he is entitled to fair play at ; the hands of the organs of his party, and 50 far as this journal is couecrned he shall have it. The Columbia Yeoman has completed ' its fourth year of existence and enters upon its fifth year with flying colors. Wc congratulate our cotemporary upon its prosperity, and wish it many years ' of usefulness to our State and people. The Hampton Guardian has entered upon its fifth volume with flattering prospects for the future. The Guardian is an excellent paper, and is being gen erously-sustained by the people of Hamp ton County. ?-.??o. - Citizen's Meeting. The undersigned, citizens of the town , of Orangeburg, rcques t that the voters of , the Town assemble at the Young Amcr , ica Firp Engine Hall, on Friday eve ning, the 31st instant, at 8 o'clock, to nominate candidates for Mayor and Al dermen to be voted for at the ensuing municipal election. Signed By Many Citizens. ' ? ShotUls Father. ; A few minutes before the departure of ; the 7 o'clocK Raleigh. N. C. exprese (rain Tuesday evening, and while a large number of negro excursionists were trathcred at tho depot at Portsmouth, Va.. a young man pushed his way through the crowd, flourishing a revolv er, and in an excited mauner cried out to the people to get out of his way, that ho would kill tiie first man who inter fered with him. that his father was on the train, and that he meant to kill him. He searched tho train and found his father standing on the platform of one of the care, and began tiring at him, strik ing htm in the thigh in two places?one near the hip and the other just above the kuee. He was arrested, and, when questioned, ?aid that his name was A. M. Sydes. that he lived in Philadelphia, and that he had sworn to kill his father, D. Sydes, for deserting and slandering his mother. He said he had followed his father to Xew Yrork and thence to Nor folk. The father says tho trouble grew out of the dissipated habits of his son and his unsatisfied demand for money. The wounded man ie dangerously but not necc*?arily fatally hurt. Independent JourimlUm. Some of the newspapers in Congress men Dibble's and Tillman's districts arc at issue with each other on the question of independence in journalism. Some of the newspapers that condemn the Con gressmen for favoring Randall are charg ing others who sustain them with a lack of independence, notwithstanding the fact that these same anti-Kaudall papers aver and msist that the overwhelming sentiment of the people of the First and the Fifth Districts is anti-Kaudall. This looks paradoxical. There can be no higher evidence of independvuee of journ alism than to advocate what is unpopu lar. The Randall paper*, however, in sist that tneir Congressmen fairly repre sent the sentiment of their constituents. One side is surely mistaken. And as to the question of "independent journ alism," it is a good deal like somebody's definition of "orthodoxy" and "?hetero doxy." Orthodoxy Is my doxy, and heterodoxy is your doxy. Proper re gard is not paid to the fact that there arc many men of many minds, and that there may he honest differences of opin ion on the same question.?Kewbcrry Observer. Fighting the Devil with Fire. A Washington special to the New Or leans Times-Democrat says: "If a full and complete expose of Republican cor ruption and villainy will destroy the Re publican parly, its doom is scaled. There is now no longer a doubt that Stephen W. jlorscy and Thomas J. Brady have documentary evidence in their possession which, when given out, will startle the people of the whole country. It will involve the President and a large number of the most promi nent men in the Republican party in tho most dishonorable and disgusting politi cal intrigues and damnable corruption. Say what they may against the character of Dor&cv. yet he has the proof of their guilt, and has determined to furnish it to the public. The most damaging docu mentary evidence may not be taken from his little cedar box until after the Republican nomination in 1S84. but that it will come before tlic next election there is no earthly doubt. If the present Arthur boom should grow into a nomi nation for him next year, he will not re ceive one-third of the electoral vote of the Union." Stirring up Dry Rones. A Washington dispatch states that a special agent will be sent here to inves tigate the "planting" of stills?the fix ing up of old stills by persons in the employ of the Government for the pur pose of raiding them and obtaining the reward of $50 paid for every unlawful distillery broken. Dr. Ensor, Deputy ^Collector for this District, has bceu quietly keeping his eyo on this industry for some time, and will doubtless be able to furnish evidence which will land a Deputy .Marshall or two in a very un comfortable net. Pickens county is said to be the favorite ground for the enter I prising plauters.?Greenville Ncios Public Education. At a mas3 educational meeting at Niuety Six, on Friday, Aug036 .14th, speeches were made by several of our prominent men, in which very cqnfiict mg views were expressed on the subject of public school education. The impor tance of the utterances are enhanced by the fact tliat all of tlie speakers occupy high official position. They were, the Superintendent of Education, the Secre tary of State, a Congressman and a State Senator. We cannot quote the whole of the speeches, but only make, such ex tracts as will give the general teuor of the remarks. Col. Coward, Superintend ent of Education, was the first speaker. He made a polished officiai address. He said: "The common school 83'stem has been discussed both in the social circle, iu private interviews, and in the public Press. It is not a perfect system. We have no systems that are perfect, and we need not expect to havo till the day of the millennium. But Such as we have, have we tried it fairly and fully ? Not till then are. we prepared to reject it, or point out its defects intelligently? The trouble about It. is in the application of its provisions. He was not here to ad vocate any system. There were many difficult problems lying back of the ques tion about which the best minds have been exercised, and have disagreed. One of them is, should the Government have auything to do with education? The State is committed ob this subject. It is incorporated iuto our constitution, and is a fundamental principle which w6 as officers are bound to observe and enforce. It is therefore not a question for discus sion, or which he was at liberty to dis cuss. The anomalous condition of our citizenship was a Sonrce of difficulty in its administration. The application of its srovlsions to the two races with equal satisfaction was a difficult undertaking. The strongest objection arose from the matter of taxation. This is true. It is unequal, but wbeu we rise to the high plane of citizenship which a liberal-mind ed; generous and magnanimous people were expected to attain, this matter of inequality dwindles into insignificance, aud is lost sight of in the grander con ception that all are citizens." Congressman Aikeu spoke next, and the. following is a brief synopsis ol his ' remarks: "lie acknowledged that we were committed to some system of pub lic education, but was opposed to the present one. and thought it ought to be amended, lie thought there were too many schools. That the amount appor tioned among so many teachers was so small that we could not secure the ser vices ol* those who were competent, and hence the system was defective in this most vital particular, lie thought that education embraced the moral aud phy sical man. as well as the intellectual; that while the first two were indispen sable in order to erect that high stand ard of citizenship which the Superintend ent of Education desired, the present school system made no provision for either, but rather ignored them. It per mitted a reduction of salary by a multi plicity of schools, which Is a virtual de nial of competent teachers. He did not believe in entrusting the education of the youth to the unmoral and dissolute. lie thought that the system should provide also for instruction in the domestic arts; that the sewiug machine, the coomng stove aud all other implements neces sary to give practical lessons in reference to these indlspeusable duties should be used. He was in favor of the co-educa tion of the sexes. He had been thus educated himself and found that the rivalry of his sweet heart was a great incentive." Secretary of State, James N. Lips comb, was the next speaker, and it is said that the applause demonstrated that his sentiments struck a responsive chord in the breasts of his hearers. The fol lowing is the substance of what he said: "He wanted no common school system. He denied the right of the governmeutto have anything to do with education; that it forbode evil and only evil. There was uo institution or authority which could, with impunity, come in and usurp the appointment of God in this matter, who had imposed upon the parent, and sealed it by the divine adjustment ofthe relation ship, a duty which cannot be cast upon the shoulders of another. It is a long stride towards centralization. The next 6tep will soon be taken towards a com pulsory education, making it obligatory on every parent to send his child to school. This much gained, then another step, and another, till the liberties ofthe people are surrendered to a centralized government. He believed in the good old anti-bellum system which had taught our fathers and mothers, than whom none wens better. The present system was of foreign grafting, and for one he would never consent to retain it wbeu he had an opportunity to reject it." Senator Callison, of Edgeficld, closed the discussion, and, in his humorous style, tried to pour oil on the troubled waters. He took up the line of Col. Coward aid defended his position. The True Issues. William S. Holman, of Indiana, is a gentleman of large experience and strict honesty. He is a useful Congressman, and his constituents wisely continue him iu the House of Representatives, where he now fills his ninth term. He keepa faithful watch over the appropriations and Is ever ready to interpose an objec tion to corrupt legislation. Mr. IIol man's name has been men tioned in connection with the Presiden tial nomination. Fortunately he has no such aspirations. He has sense enough to know in what position he can do the best service to the country and to his party, aud patriotism enough to be con tented to fill it. In a recent interview Mr. Holman ex pressed the opinion that the issues before the next Congress will be the rcntriction of the powers of corporations and the reclamation of forfeited public land grants to the amount of over U?,000,U0U acres. He predicts that if the Demo cracy falls to take a firm stand against the encroachments of corporations a national anti-monopoly party will arise which will carry all before it. The Democracy would be false to its principles aud its policy if it should neglcct,to pass bills through the Demo cratic House of ltcpresentatives to re peal all laud grants iu which a forfeiture has occurred, to compel the full pay ment of all sums due from railroad cor porations to the Government, aud to prevent by all constitutiouul means the further abuses and encroachments of corporations aud the growth of mono polies. These are living issues. TI103- arc Democratic issues, brought into greater prominence than ever by the disclosure ofthe means by which die National Ad in"^istratiou now iu power was forced upo 1 the country. The election of 1880 was won by the purchasing power of money. By whom was the corruption fund supplied' By two great monopolists?day Gould and C. P. Huntington?who gave $100. 000 in consideration of naming several judges of tho Supreme Court of the Unintcd States, "and got their man." By Mr. Levi P. Morton, who made a large personal contribution on the pledge that he should be Garficld's Secretary ol* the Treasury, and who was, instead, ap pointed Minister to France. By rich monopolies, railroad corpor ations and other great moneyed powers which have received in the past, and hope to receive in the future, special favors from the Executive, Congress and the Judiciary. What'becomes of free government if elections are thus to be purchased? W hat rights can the people hope to retain when influences such as these hold the Administration by the throat, control legislation, and rest under the protection of their own representatives on the beuch of the Supreme Court of the United States ? Mr. Holman is right. The issues he names are those founded on Democratic principles and demanded by the people. I [New York World. . The State Laud Commission has sold Hell Hole Swamp, in Charleston county, to Mr. Renfrey. a civil engineer, who proposes to drain it at an expense of 8100,000, gaining 17.000 acres of land, He pays $10,000. for the tract. News of the Day. Wilson, N. C, has not only a fcraalp barber, but a female blacksmith and a postmistress, and living one mile from town is a female shoe maker. N. Peterson, a Charleston mechanic, has invented a 6leam buggy which is said to run 20 miles an hour over dirt roads, An Augusta concern is manufacturing it. Julius Behling proposes to jump from the Kinzua Viaduct, 18 miles from Brad ford, Pa., to the river 301 feet below with no support but a Strong silk um brella held open. A few days ago Miss Little A. Tan Woort, a lovely girl of Troy. ft. Y., had occasion to have a tooth drawn. She in sisted upon beinsr put under the influence of chloroform, from the effects of which she died the following day. " A white woman named Eliza Scruggs pleaded guilty m the United States Court at Greenville to the charge of retailing liquor without a license and was senten ced to a month's Imprisoument iu the Spartauburg jail and $100 fine. Acain the kerosene can. On Sunday last,~Ella, an eleven-ycar-old daughter of J. M. Hayes of Pickeus. while trying to start a fire with kerosene oil, the can ex ploded, burning her whole body m a fearful manner. She will probably die. A young white woman named Louisa Hair, living in Flat Creek Township, Lancaster County, was shot last Satur day by a white man named Dunbar ltob erson. The ball entered her left breast, came out on her side and went through her right arm. Whiskey. John Wohltman, a Gcf/tnan, about 33 yenr3 of age, who had lived iu Savannah about seven .years, attempted to jump from a train near that city on WedneS bay afternoon, but fell, and whs run over by the cars, and received injuries lrom which he died that night. During a severe lightning and thunder storm, on Wednesday, Mrs. John Bawls and a negro man, in Hollow Creek neigh borhood of Lexington County, were in a field attending to some work. Becoming alarmed, they ran toward a house, but were stricken down and instantly killed by a bolt of lightniug before they could reach the house. Two mechanics employed to make re pairs In the Redemption Bureau of the United States Treasurer's otlicc at Washington last week found uuder some machinery ten crisp aud fresh $1.000 bills enveloped in an official band. The workmen were honest. The Superin tendent being absent, they handed the money over to a subordinate in the room. Ex-Gov. Hubbard, of Connecticut, started poor, but grew rich. His daugh ter married her father's coachman and was outlawed from the parental mausiou. Eventually,she quit her humble husband and returned to her proud father. The father recently entered the den of the Wall street tiger and lost his money. The coachman may have a terrible re venge upon both father and daughter." Eighteen years ago. a number of Mos lems were arrested by the Turkish Gov ernment for reading the Bible aud attending the Christian chapels. Xow they can visit the Christain chapels without hindcrance, and over 80,000 copies of the Bible, or parts of the Bible, printed in the Turkish language, have been openly sold in the Turkish empire. The highway for the Gospel is being opened in every land. '?The vilest sinners may return," says a good old hymn. Therefore ex-Govcr nor Holden, of Xorth Carolina, a Re publican who has in the past occupied a prominent place in the politics of his State, and who has just published a card in the Raleigh Neics& Observer, in which he formally win'.idraws from the Repub lican party, may return to a position where he may, at some future day, be pardoned of his political siu3. Gen. J. B. Weaver, the Greenback candidate for governor of Iowa, ex-mem ber of congress and cx-er.ndidale for president, applied to the Democraicand Republican candidates for governor for a divisiou of time at their appointments. They informed him that they were in earnest about their candidacy, and that they did not propose to have any auch foolishness as wasting time on a man that hail no idea of getting three thous and votes. The Prince of Montenegro, who, some time ago, closed all the cafes and drink ing shops in his dominion, regarding them as schools of effeminacy and cor ruption, and abolished all titles, so that, while formerly every other man in Mon tenegro was an ??Excellency," now even the ministers have to be content with plain "Mr.," has recer'.ly issued an in terdict against all "i. .urious wearing apparel," including cravaSs, gloves, walklug sticks, parasols and umbrellas. The Abbeville Medium says: A bru tal negro named Douglass Alexander beat an ox belonging to him so often and cruelly that it could not stand up and do the work required of it. When it fell down again in the rocd this human mon ster poured scalding hot water upon it. This did not move the suffering animal, and the brute got his axe, knocked it m tho head and then chopped it to pieces when it was kicking and struggling in the agonies of death. He was nent to jail for trial. The Walhalla Courier says: Some malicious perpon or persons entered the held of M. Z. Kelley last Saturday night and cut down and destroyed all the best of his com. They seem to have been bent on destroying his whole crop, as they sought out the richest and best spots and cut whatever was likely to make anything. Mr. Kelley is a poor young man and lias worked hard to make a living, only to see his labor in vain. We know nothing of the perpetrators nor of the motive leading to the act, but hear it is probably traceable in some way to the stock law. The national organization known as the Former's Congress is announced to hold its third annual session at Louisville, commencing on Wednesday; Dec. 5th. A committee of arrangements has been appointed by the city to receive und en tertain the delegates to the Congress, and greatly increased attendance is cx pcitod. President Thos. J. Hudson, of Mississippi, has published his annual address, setting forth the aims and ob jects of the Congress and making a vigorous appeal to the farmers of every Congressional District of the States to secure representation. A special dispatch to the Galvcston News from a large number of points throughout Texas show that, except in a few localities, further rains could be productive of no marked benefit to the. cotton crop. In a lajority o::- cases it would result in injury. The extensive drought, which lias been the most impor tant factor in the injury to the crops, has been relieved in sonic localities by rain, but, as a general thing, it was too late to do much good. It is plain that there will be a considerable decrease from last year's yield. The grain crops, however, have been successful iu the full sense of the word. The News and Courier will publish, on the 1st of September, the annual Review of the Trade ot Charleston for the year ending August 31st. This will be a val uable publication, setting forth the pro gress the city is making in every respect. Every one interested in the general wel fare of the State will be interested in the prosperity of Charleston. The News and Courier of September 1st, contain ing this review will be sold at. the follow ing rales: lut) copies and less. 5 cents each; 200 copies, 4 cents; 300 copies and over, 3 cents. Iu pamphlet form, the priee will be the same. Orders should be sent in at once. One day Judge Black was. surrounded by a bevy of his p?' nal friends on the floor of the House, among the rest Judge Mercur, theu the Bradford Congressman, who turned to him and said: "Judge Black, you have more frieuds on this side of the House than on your own.. You ought to be a Republican. If you would join us we would appreciate you aud give you due prominence." To which Judge Black made reply that he knew It all to be true; the Republicans were: good fellows; he would like to belong to them, and there was only oue thing in the way. "If" he said, "there was no hereafter, I would join the Republican party ai; once' Nothing deters me but tho fear of hell.'. A Birthday Party. Editors Times and Democrat: There is one coudition, or stage of ex istence, to which we may all ]ay claim? that ot free and happy childhood, when pleasures; though simple, are intensely enjoyed, when a cheap gift, is as highly esteecmed as a costly, bawble would be in more matiire years. Simplicity and artlcesncss, mark" the period of baby hood and the bordering years, frequent ly extending into thcitcens. This peri od of life, though remote to many of us, is a pleasant retrospect, and the impres sions of early childhood in most respects are ineradicable, but as our views be come enlarged and our taste more criti cal, we outgrow or overleap the bound ary that compassed our childish enthusi asm. This is a loug prologue, Now to the point. Od last Tuesday morn ing, not long after the coming of Sol's rays, the forerunners of his fierce sum mer heat, the children of our family were aroused by the arrival of one of the ve hicles that was to. convey them to the house of a relative, distant five miles south of Orangeburg7 where an assem blage of little folks was expected to cele brate the ninth birthday of the young miss of the family. Impatience and eagerness prevailed in -our household, until the final exit of all, save paterfa milias, Owing to midsummer heat, the thermometer ranging in the niueties, the usual latitude allowed to the imagi nation by persons Who chronicle charm ing rides in the country must be omitted, as truth compels me to say the ride was particularly warm aud dusty, and the poetry of transportation was entirely in the bright anticipation of the juveniles. Other Vehicles soon arrived, aud con taining their cargo of little ones, the circle was thus made complete. The chronicler in this case, should be one of the children themselves, to relate their enjoyment in the delightful pastime of singing, chasing each other in outdoor games, playing under1 the grape arbor, whose leafy screen, was ornamented by juicy pellets, scarce mature enough to tempt the boys of the party to go in quest. At two o'clock a long table was spread under the extensive arbor, one end of which was reserved for the young guests, the other, for the sober ones of the party. Can I describe a bountiful elegantly prepared repast without en croaching upon stereotyped descriptions, which I would avoid, if it were possi ble. Suffice it to say, the lady and her daughters, whose fair hands prepared these tempting viands for the relish of the guests, arc too well known as pro ficients in the preparation of all dishes, which can grace the board or tempt the palate of any epicure or gorniand in Or angeburg County. Dinner being suffici ently discussed by every one, and as martial amusement is the order of the day by both sexes at present, a waggish proposition was made by some one for a drill. Think of it, ye who arc given to appetite and avoirdupois ? An cx-Confcd., who was present, one who scorns not a plump turkey, or a fatted duck, aud is also of goodly proportion, and one, who was so flatteringly alluded to as presiding officer at the late agricul tural meeting, was proposed as drill master for the nonce, which proposition was not met with favor by the individual himself not feeling sprightly. Games filled up the afternoon with pleasing di versity, and. with the prosppot of much needed rain, we repaired to our different homes, having spent nu agreeable day, and one not to be forgotten by the chil dren.

BRADIIELD'S FEMALE REGULATOR, This famous remedy most happily meets the demand of the age for woman's peculiar and multiform afflictions. It is a remedy for Woman Only, and for One Special Class of her diseases. It is a specific for certain diseased conditions of the womb, and pro poses to so control the Menstrual Function as to regulate all the derangements and ir regularities of Woman's MONTHLY SICKNESS. Its proprietor claims for it no other medi cal property, and to doubt the fact that this medicine does positively possess such con trolling and regulating powers is simply to discredit the voluntary testimony of thous ands of living witnesses who are to-dav ex ulting in their restoration to sou"*1 health and happiness. -DnADFIELB1? PPMAjLB-REGXJLATOH is strictly a vegetable compound, and is the product of medical science and practical ex perience directed towards the benefit of SUFFERING WOMAN! It is the studied prescription of a learned physician whose specialty was Woman, and whose fame became enviable and boundless because- of bis wonderful success in the treatment and cine of female complaints. The Regulator is the Grandest Remedy known, and richly deserves its name: WOMAN'S REST FRIEND, Because it controls a class of functions the various derangements of which cause more ill health than all other causes combined, and thus rescues her from a long train of af flictions which sorely embitter her life, and prematurely end her existence ! Oh ! what a multitude of living witnesses can testify to its charming effects. Woman ! take to your confidence this PRECIOUS BOON OF HEALTH ! It will relieve you of nearly all the com plaints peculiar to your sex ! Rely upon it as your safeguard for health, happiness and long life. Prepared only by DR. J. BRADF1ELD, Atlanta, Ga.
