A HANDSOME HAT.-ff any Of our readers have
curiosity to see the latest agony of style in the
hat line--such as makes one wonder as he walks
the paue of Broadway, they may be gratifed by
visit to the store of Messrs. HoRsEY & Co., our
neighbors in Hayne street. These gentleman have
recently received from the North some startling
acquisitions to their wholesale stock, and as our
people are fond of imitation, South Carolina is like
" to be astonished by the innovations made in tbs
general appearance Of head gear, represented in
the above establishment
The styles are not more outre than they are at
tractive; but taste is much matter of exam
pie as Of sentiment, and Messrs. II. & Co., will,
doubtless, be libsrally rewarded for their invest
ment. These remarks apply equally well to
the upper story Of their house, where there is
beauty enough in the collection of hats and feath-
ers to make handsome woman distracted and
her husband an impoverished lunatic in his vain
endeavors to supply the demand created by that
inevitable waterfall

PROFESSOR JAMES H. CARLIsIE.-From the Ab-
beuMe Banner We learn that, on Friday, the 9th
instant, there was Conve. ..tion of the Sunday
Schools of "Ninety-six" Circuit, held at Lebanon
Church. After the preliminary exercises Profess
sor CARLISLE, of Wofford College, was introduced.
The Banner says: 'Of his addresses even if our
space would allow it, we shall offer no extended
outline. That would be to mar their beauty, as
those who have heard Professor CARLISLE we'll
know. If his words could be transferred to paper,
there would vet be wanting the soul which his ut
terance only can put into them. His opening re-
marks to the children we're to impress upon them
the Importance OF punctual attendance and careful
study Of lessons. The story OF JESUS at the Tenn
pie suggested line of remark the leading object
OF which was to present the Saviour as divine
model for imitation by Christian children. The
speaker narrated the striking incidents in the life
of the Saviour, occurring when he about the age OF
most of the youthful listeners, and gave beautj-
ful deneation OF tho character Of JESUS as boy at
Nazareth as eccher of men and performer of
miracles In mature age; as a final sccrltce for
man; in early youth consecrating himself to the
work of tLo Father, and honoring COP in every act
of life. This was the grand idea developed in that
happy manner by which great thoughts are made
clear to the comprehension OF childhood
At the close of these remarks, another hymn was
sung, after which Professor CARLISLE addressed
parents on the duty Of teaching their children to
grow ND in the image Of Christ. He quoted the
words 'But whose shall offend one of these little
ones" ETC., and proceeded to show what is meant
by offending" and some Of the ways by whicl
parents may incur the penalty Of this sin-by
living in open violation of Gods commandments
bv neglect Of church priSileges-by blasphemy, Oh
donbtine The providence Of God-by lntemper
ance-by simply manifesting no care about re
Ieion-by nesecting TO give their children re
ISious instruction and reading. He spoke OF tb'
great responsibility imposed upon parents as one
which they cannot escape, and OF tho positive
scriptural promises that blessing always rests OF
+be households OF godly parents. These thoughts
were presented in line of earnest argument tina
oon,d not fail to make its way directly to the heat
and heart of every hearer

HUGO ON CAPITAL PUNISHMENT The great
Red Republican is out once more in one of his
peculiar spasmodic epis;lcs. The Tyre OF the
poet was struck by a communication from 4
Portuguese politician apropoSi OF the abolition
OF capital punishment, and thus gushes:
HAUTEyILLE House, 18th July
4. u. Pedro de Brio Arannu
Your noble letter has moved my heart.
/ had learned the great news, but have
received through you it's sympathetic echo.
No, there are no small people.
And sometimes it is these small Inen who
lead great people.
"A people who are despots are like hounds
That require to be mu2zted.
i love and elor!ly your noble and dear Por-
'uRal. She is free, therefore she Is great.
Portugal has abolished capital punishment!
10 accomplish this great advance is to build
up the great safeguard Of civilization.
From this time Portugal stands at the
head OF Europe
lou Portuguese have now ceased to be
told navigators. Formerly you led the van on
I0e ocean; to-day you are the yangurd of
ruth. Proclaim these principle; it is still
hooler than to discover worlds
\, exclaim, glory to Portugal and to you,
Monsieur, happiness
With cordial esteem, VICTOR HUao.'

CURE FOR YELLOW FEVER. R.-Considerab
attention is paid by the press of the West
Indies to cure recently adopted by q physi-
clan in Jamaica, Dr.. Alex Fiddes, +. +. G. S.
E. 1t has run the rounds of the Spanish,
English, French, and Danish journals, and
everywhere meets with the highest encomi-
ums. Several of the Governments interested
in the West Indies have set apart hospital
buildings for the special treatment Of yellow
fever under DR.. Fiddes' process AS that
dread disease is making considerable ravages
in the Southern part of the United States, We
give the following account of the treatment:
Calomel, quinine, and all other medicines are
set aside, as being not only useless but posi-
lively injurious. The only medicine recon-
mended IS a full dose Of caster oil at the begin
ming of the disease The remedy of DR.,
Fiddes then consists in the internal admins
tration of sulphurous acid, combined with the
external application of iced sheets around the
body, when the skin is hot and dry, or with an
occasional vapor bath when the skin is dry
without being very hot. The sulphurous acid
is not given in its pure form, but combined
with an alkaline base, such as the bl-sulphite
of soda, the sulphite Of magnesia or potash, or
of ammonia, of which the former preparation
is probably the best, being tasteless and not
likely to offend the stomach. The dose is
twenty grains every two or three hours, in 4
glass Of water.
The use of sulphurous acid and the applica
tion OF the wet sheets or vapor bath are lIdl-
Gated as much by the dictates of theory as by
the lessons of experience. The first is q pre-
ventive against fermentation of the blood; the
two latter are potent agencies for Withdrawing
poisonous matter from the body without weak
ening the vital powers.
Since Professor Polf, of Milan, instituted his
elaborate series OF experiments to test the
efficacy of sui phurous acid is arresting termen-
tation in the blood of animals, and since DR.,
De Ricci, of Dublin, and Prof: Burgraeve. of
Ghent, repeated the same, the therapeutcal
power of this medicine has been we'll known TO
the medical profession. But Dr. Fiddes Is
entitled to the credit of having introduced it as
a remedy for yellow fever and several other
diseases of the zymotic family.

"MIss FLITE. THE thousands Of our citi-
zeus who have, during the last ten years, Vlsl-
ted The CrimiuaI Court have observed, little
apart from the crowd Of spectators, seated
mon the raised platform in the corner OF the
room, a little faded woman, beyond middle
aye, somewhat fantastically dressed in clean but
dilapidated clothing. Her bonnet has some
times a feather somewhat jauntlly disposed
therein, and she is as careful in the arrange
nent OF her tawdry inery and many tiounced
skirts, as il they were of the costllest material
Nearly every day, for the last ten years,
she might have been seen in her accustomed
place, sometimes busily engaged in sewing, and
patiently and quietly waiting for the long ex-
pected decision in her imaginary case relating
to property. So long has she been an attend
ant upon the sessions Of the court that her
personal history, the cause Of her mental de-
ranpement, and even her name, are unknown
10 the officials Of the court. Her residence and
means of living are equally matters OF cOnjec-
ture. Those who have read Dickens's "Bleak
House" will be reminded of the description of
Miss Fiite, in connection with the celebrated
chanoery case of Jaundyce and Jaundyce-"a
little mad old woman in squeezed bonnet, who
Is always in court, from its sitting to it's rising,
and always expecting some incomprehenslble
Judgment to be given in her favor Some say,
she really is, or was, party to sui t, but no
one knows, and no one cares" The above des-
cription of Dickens is so perfectly applicable to
The female visitor in the Criminal Court, that
she has been given the name of Miss Elite, "
and by that name only is she known to the
habitues of the Court House. Our Miss
Elite" was not long since presented with
white morning wrapper, much too long for her
