They arc worth their weight in gold. Rev. IX. L. SIMPSON, Louisville, Ky. Dr. Tutt has been en paged in the practice of medicine thirty years, and for along time wtu demon. Btrator of anatomy in the Medical College of Geor gia, hence persons using his I'tlls have the guaran tee that thev are prepared on scientific principles, and are free from all quackery. He has succeeded in combining in them the heretofore antagonistic qualities of a strengthen mg,purgative,anJ a pur. ifytng tonic. Their first apparent ef fect is to increase the ap petite by cuusing the food to properly assi in i late. Thus the system is nour ished, and by their tonic action on the digestive or gans, regular and healthy evacuations are produced. The rapidity with which persons take on flesh, while under the influence of these pills, ol itself in dicates their adaptability lo nourish the body, and hence their efficacy in cur ing nervous debility, mcl. nncholy.dyspepsia,' wast ing of the muscles, slug, gishncss of the liver, chronic constipation, and imparting health and strength to the system.

Congress by a vote last week per mits articles for the Art and Scienti fic ?Society to conio in free of duty.

[?Fur the Orangeburg Times.] Uoimi* Co., Miss., May lri78. Mr. tol.lw : Last I'Viday was a gala day with .he young people, of Dura t and Kosciusko. The. Sunday schools o f the Ivo towns united in holding a pic nie at ?Saliis, a town situ it.ri d about hall wai" between the above named towns. The excursion l?i S i us was the cheapest I have ever known, the laic being only tw-i nits ^25cents) round trip. The pleasure seekers were very much disappointed at finding ccinparilively no prepar ation made for their enjoyment, by the Sal Iis Sunday schot.l, however, .hey were determined to enjoy them selves to their heart's content. As soon as the Kcseiu.-ko train arrived i the Du rant train having arrived previously) the plays ceased, and voting and old assembled under a large oak, whot>c friendly brunches, nature's awning, shielded us from the rays of a wann, May-day sun, and (?astcd our cars on some of the bust eloquence of the State; and having feasted our cars and minds, we re paired to the sumptuous dinner, at which all of us were very eloquent, lor * r. Editor, you know "eloquence U action." Sailis was excusable for not inking a part in the picnic as she had promised, for she had been sadly bereaved two or three days previous ly, by the sudden death of one of her most prominent Citizen?, Mr. Jack Sailis Mr. Sailis was an excellent teacher, an cxamplary citizen. His wile died about three weeks u^o, and Mr.^nllis had not been well si use her" death, but no one thought bim ser iously sick. He leaves several small children, and a large circle of rela tives and friends to mourn his death His place is vacant.

Russia's present position fairly illustrate* the quality of bur stat-H manship. Afh r a Quixotic cum pat* gn, costing h?i 8000,000,000, she finds herself unable to hold the fruiu, ??f her victory, compelled to submit, abjectly to the dictation of England, her exchequer bankrupt, her Iinpcr ial Bank verging on suspension, and her people in a state of widespread disaffection. She undertook to settle compulsnrily thtj Eastern question , ami ends by settling nothing, but has to submit the whole work of settle ment to the Powers whose antecedent joint, arrangements she assumed to set at naught. A more complete humiliation has rarely befallen a nation. Stiitestnansh ip that was tin able to .=ec- this end from the begin ning must be regarded as either very blind or very reckless. Either the Russian Government have a very exaggerated estimate of its power, or it must have bad a very imperfect comprehension ol the attitud e of the European governments on the ques tion it assumed to solve; and, in eith er case, the. reflection upon the wis dom that guides the helm of state is a very serious one. A country whose resources are thus wantonly squand ered and which thus fails in its most ambitious undertakings is nut likely to become the controlling power in European politics tint l\ ussiu aspires ,to l>i*_Jn ?h^? ;J_'jj^- -t ? p-'-rtiWtj follows ihe development of national liberty and commerce; and a n'titinn that seeks to extent! its influence by enormous armaments which it has neither the c edit nor the resource to support is far on the way to disin tegration ami ruin. Unless Rtis-da devotes the next ha if century to the reformation of her internal po ities and the development of her home re sources, her status among the powers is doomed to sure decadence. In her competition with the higher nivi'ua- ? lion of lhtar nations, she will find work enough in hoi (ling her own, without seeking aggrandise in- nt through ex ternal aggressions.

The W-s and tho F-s are. the two principal families in Northeast Georgia, and it is a popu lar superstition that a man born bore is nearly or remotely connected with one ot lb ose two families. As is usually the eas3, the W-s are jealous of the F -S, and the F-s make war on the \Y-s. If a \V-and an F-get into a quarrel, others are embroiled, and a personal dispute oftentimes assti mes mammoth proportions before it is definitely settled. They toll a very good story at Dahloncga of this pe culiarity. Circuit Court was in ses sion and an F-was on tho bench. The court and county officers were about equal I v divided, among the two families. Tin: court house in Dahloncga is arranged with the court-room in the second story, the first floor being used as ofliees for the county officials. A wide hallway rims through the building and two flights of stairs connect the first floor with the court-room. Court was in session, and the room was paeked. A noise liubbub in the hall below arrested the attention of judgo, jury, attorneys and spectators. .Curses and loud words were plainly heard. It was evident a fight wasgoing on. '?Mr, Sheriff," commanded tho jjidge, "take thoie disorderly parties into custody and hnng them up here. 1 will teach thetn. to have proper respect for this honorable court. Tim directed the sheriff left the room, lint did not return. The tu mult waxed louder and the quarrel was evidentIj increasing i in lea d of decreasing. Occasionally a pistol ahot was board. Several of the spec tators a id one or two of the attor neys left the room. The judge look ' ed around and espying a deputy sheriff directed him to hasten to the assistance of his chief. He went, but did not return. Tho coroner Evas s nt; he, too, remained below. The uproar grew louder and the re ports of pistols more frequent. A constable, two bailiffs, another depu ! tv sheriff and the clerk of tho court I weie in turn commanded to preserve the peace and uphold the dignity of I the court. Not one of these officials ! returned, and the room was nearly I cleared of attorneys and spectators, while the "twelve good men and true" twisted uneasily on theirbenc b in the jury box. The face of the honorable court, became crimson with shame and enger; and as the solicitor general laid down his ho iks and pre pared to leave the room he dismissed the jury, and coining down off the I bench was heard to remark that '?he'd see if this court was to bo trea ted with contempt!" Flushed with a consciousness of tho great indignity being olfercd bis worshipful person by the rioters below, his honor hasten ed down stairs. A crowd was surg ing up and down the hall, mad with passion. Pistols were brandished, bowie-knives flashed ami the air was heavy with smoke ami curses. Paus ing for a inoine.it on the stairway, tho better to survey the field of battle, the honorable judgo Bttddeiilv threw off his official robe, pulled a murder ous seven shooter from bio belt, and with the cry of "(Jive 'ein Ii ? 1 boys!" jump ted into tho crowd and lost hi> official idonti y in die general i rush The F-s and the \V??s were at war, ami not until tin latter party was at last vanquish co did the judge return to his bench.

'Marcus Ctclius,1 Cicero s tic! to his legal fricud, meeting him one morn ing on the other side of a screen under the Capitol, 'what shall it be ?' CnTins said he would lake a little spiritus frumenti oplimus, straight, and the orator remarking that that was about the F-i/.e of his, went on : 'I wish you would get out. the neces sary papers some time today/aud bring suit for m* against the. Yellow Tib'ir Fin: and Marine Insurance Company for the amount of its poli cies on my villa at Tusculum and my town house.' M. Call nslooked up in umn/.cmcnt. 'Why,' lie exclaimed, 'when did they bu.rn down ? And what was if? Accident? Mob? ?ome of Codius' people ?' 'No,' Cicero said, 'they arc intact ^ as yet, and, in fact, I haven't, insured them ?yet, but I tun going to do so to morrow, and I want to bring suit against tho company now.so that if they ever should happcu to burn, I won't have quite So long to wait for the money.' Codins saw that the orator's head was level, and brought suit that after noon. Kl-veii years afterward the villa at Tesculum and the town house were both destroyed by fire. Tho suit had by that time been in five different Court-, and bad been cou Gr med, and reversed, and remanded, and referred to the mas er to take proof, and stricken from thd docket, and amended, nud rebutted, andsur rebutted, ami im pleaded, and r-joiu dered, and filyd, and quashed, and continue ! until nobody knew 'vlut .t ? was about, and Cicero was notified, three w eeks after the fire, that he would have to prove willful ar.d'otig cnn?!"od qlv,cnrn and no^lo ?: '???? \y* Could not ?ft a decree simply on grounds of incompntability of temper ? nmcnt And when he went f-> the Secretary oft he company, that official told htm the company didn't k low any thing about the fire and had uu time to attend to such things. The company's business, the Secretary said, was to insure houses, uot to run around to fires, asking about the in surance. If be wanted any informa tion on those points, be would have to nik tho firemen or tho newspaper reporters. The more a man reads in these old histories, the more he ia convinced that the insurance business in the days of the p retard wasagreat deal more like it is to-day. A Word to Families. Nothing presents a sa i lor commen tary upon the present condition of society than the large number of families, both in town and country, but more especially in the latter, that subscribe to no paper of any kind. Hundreds and thousands of families are thus growing up uttorly ignorant of what is transpiring in the world around them?ignorant of the mighty events of the day. But who can tell the vast amount of injury that is being indicted ou the rising generation?those who are to take ?Air places in the busy world at no distant day?growing up without any knowledge of the present, and study of the post; this ignorance, too, boing imbued into them by the sanction of tbose who should, ami doubtless do, know better, did they only think of tho injurious effects of tlfl-ir insane course Let the head of every family think ol this ?nd place in tho bauds of those for whom ho is responsible the means of acquiring some know ledge of the moving panorama in which we act the diflTardu pir:s.
