This is a purely vegetable compound, pre-
pared on strictly scientific principles, after the
manner of the celebrated Holland Professor,
Boerhave. Because of its great in most
of the European States, its Introduction into
the United States was intended more especially

there over the face of this mighty country.

A substitution for Liver Oil-signs Of
CONSUMPTION.

DIR. j. II. Warren, in communication to
the Boston Medical Journal, states that he
has successfully administered cocoa-nut oil to
a number cf patients In whom pulmonary
consumption had made rapid advances, in
some cases mixing the Gil with phosphate of
lime and tincture of wild cherry. DR.. W..
expresses his opinion that upon further using
the cocoa-nut oil it will do as much or more
for the consumptive as the cod liver oil, not
only in phthisic, but in other diseases where
the latter oil has proved beneficial, and over
which it takes the precedence, not only in
being more palatable and agreeable but it
does not produce that nausea and unpleasant
feeling that cod-liver oil does.
An English surgeon has broached the idea
that strong indication Of consumptive symp-
toms is to be found in a mark at the reflected
edges of the gums, Of deeper color than the
adjoining surface. The absence ofthis streak
in men affected with inconclusive symptoms
of consumption may, he says, be interpreted
favorably in case Of such suspicious indica-
tions, but in women rather less weight is tC
be attached to this negative sign. In the fe
male sex the presence of the sign is almost
conclusive evidence of the existance of the
tubencular element in the blood and when
in either sex, it comedies with pulse no
materially altered in frequency, but chang
from the sitting to the standing posture, tn
! presence of the phthisic NAV, without having
recourse to auscultation, be assumed.

A Ghost Story.

Mr.. Editor 81 believe that the following
may be of interest to your numerous readers,
aud l know that the circumstances have
never been published. | wrote them down
and if you think it proper you may publish
it.
In the year 1896, at Bishopville, South
Carolina. Capt. William Sumter Ia grandson
of Gen. Thomas Sumter) committed suicide,
and was buried at the Baptist Church yard,
about l IL miles from Bishopyille. His
grave, is about ten steps from the public road,
leading from Rishopvilie to SGmteryile. In
few weeks after this, William Bateman. a
man Of great courage, and not superstitous,
was riding on home (about three miles Off
and as he passed by Capt. Sumter's grave at
about IL or l clock in the night, the moon
shining brightly, he informed me (the next
morning) that Can't. Sumter arose from his
grave and came to him and placed his hand
on his stirrup and walked in this way with
him for about $50 yards, and just before he
, disappeared he informed Beteman it was his
time next. In few days after this, o man
by the name of james B. Reayes shot Bate
t man giving him mortal wound, which did
| not terminate fatally for two Or three weeks
Bateman managed to,ride froaa Reaves' house
to the house OF Moses E0Gnrree, anu wren ne
: arrived there, sent for Doctor Bishop and his
d brother John Bateman. the latter at that time
n overseer for Doctor Bishop: and although
V W. Bateman's house was much nearer thar
5 Bishopville, he requested to be taken to th'
| latter place, which was done, and he died a
his brothers house at Bishopyille. va
acting magistrate at that time. and a
there was no witness present when ReaVe
t, shot Bateman, thought it proper TO take hi
ID dying confession, as it would be good ey
ne dence, and few hours before his death
10 took down his statement; and as the circun
i, stances Of his seeing Sumter occurred to no.

RosIN OLA Mr. Robbins, of New York,
has discovered prosess by which 62 per
cent. of oil can be obtained from common
rosin, the residue of the raw material also
being valuable. Considering the present and
increasing scarcity of whale oil, this is an i'm
portant discovery. This rosin oil is said tC
be every way suitable for machinery, burning
in lam ps, tanning purposes, &C., and can be
sold at oDe-f fifth the price of sperm oil. The
vast pine forests of the Southern States sup
ply the raw material il abundance, and ap
paratus for manufacturing the oil is said tt
be cheap and durable, and so simple that i
can be used by common laboring hands. Ii
fact, if half that is said about the new oil b.
true, it will prove of very great value both t
the Southern States which are able TO pro
duce, and the Northern and Western State
: which are able to consume it IN such iarg
quantities.

Written for the Spirit Of the Age.
By a Ranger"

We have heard many who, after having
visited all the far famed mountains of the
North, and other portions of the United
States, say that the natural scenery of wes-
tern North Carolina far surpasses in gran
deur and sublimity anything they had ever
seen. Yet, many persons Of our own and
sister States have no conception whatever
of its beauty.
If they could be persuaded to visit this
portion of our State, we have no hesitation
in avowing that they would say with US,
that this is not only the so-called garden
spot of North Carolina, but is in reality
the garden spot.
During the last session of one of our
western literary institutions, a number of
students formed themselves into a company
for the purpose of making tour through
the mountains, to recruit the somewhat
wasted energies both of mind and body
A meeting Of the company was held, and
our officers elected, comprising a Captain,
Lieutenant and Journalist. 1t was then
unanimously agreed that we dub ourselves
the " Fillmore Rangers" and the village
of Statesyille was selectedas place of rem

appointed, the following were present, viz

lowing gem from the pen of Prentice, and
how happy the heart that can see these
beauties, as he portrays them:
"Why is it that the rainbow and the
cloud come over us with beauty that is
not of earth and thus pass away, and leave
us to muse on their faded loveliness? Why
is it that the stars which hold their festival
around their midnight thrones are set above
the grasp of our limited faculties, forever
mocking US with their unapproaehable glo-
ry? And why is it that bright forms Of
human beauty are presented to our view
and then taken from US leaving thousand
dreams of aff1iction to flow back in Al pine
torrents upon. our heart We are borr
for higher destiny than that of earth

like islands that slumber on the ocean, an,
where the beautiful being that now passe,
