A GRAND EPOCH IN MEDICINE.

DR.. Maggiel is the founder of a new medical
system. The quantitarians whose vast internal
doses enfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bow
els and with whose external remedies the ulcerat-
ed and eruptive surfaces of the skin deluged
in vain must give place to the man who restores
his health and appetite with from one to three
harmless pills, and cures the most virulent and
scrofulous disorders with from one to three bexes
of his matches salve.
DR.. MaggiePs Pills and Salve have ushered in
new medical era. No more nauseating avaian-
ches of drastic drugs need be poured down sick
peoples threats. One of MaggePs Pills rectifes
the disordered condition of the stomach and liver,
cleanses the head and restores the nerves in
space of time short enough to be almost classed
as marvellous.
In fact Maggiers Bilious. Dyspeptic and Diarr-
hea Pills cure where all others fail. While for
Burns, Sealds, Chilblains, Cuts and all abrassions
of the skin, Maggiel's Salve is infallibles

this State, and thus was North Carolina, by
the combined bravery and skill of her own

We read not long ago Of man who COM
mitted suicide because lie discovered that
he was his own grandfather by reason of

That mans genealogical tree was not half
as much mixed as is the relationship be-
tween the States and the Federal Govern
ment. We used to think that the Federal
Government was the child of the States,
but Mr.. Lincoln maintained, by system
of logic new to our politics. and in which
artillery was substituted for the syllogism,
that the States were the children and the
Well, the result was that in the grand fam
lily scuf1e, the papa, according to Mr.. Lin
coin, slightly prevailed, and brought back
the erring children. They have sung
rather small since then, and haven't had
much to eat. But since Mr.. Lincoln s
death the family repudiate the relationship
entirely, and say the States are neither the
father nor the children, and that they are
not in the family at all-that in fact, they
are not States, and that they are nobody !;
are allowed to pay taxes Thus the States,
after rejoicing for many years in sense of
paternity, were staggered by the conviction
that their own chilli was their father, and
subsequently were totally demoralized by
the assertion that there was no relationship
between them, and finally caved in and be-
came idiotic under the theory that they
really have no existence. It certainly is
pardonable in small politicians, under such
circumstances, to be bewildered, and we
seriously doubt if the larger ones can clear

alton.

How Is This :

1t used to be source Oi lllOuS lbdl9llA-
ton amongst our civilized and refined
Northern brethren, that the Halls of Con
gress were continually being dctilcd by the
rufianism Of Southern blackguafds, who
carried into that national arena the evlden-
ces of their barbarisin, &c., &c, Nc. The
Southern ruffians, the barbarians who dealt
in human flesh with New England) have
been denied the blessed privilege Of sitting
in the national councils with their civilized
and refined Northern brethren for 10 these
many years, but the improvement Ill NOR
ais, which ought naturally to have appear
ed in Congress during the interim, is not
particularly observable after all. In testi-
mony whereof attention is directed to the
Senatorial discussion reported in the tele-
graphic column of the JOi9u0i of yesterday.
The Senator from Massachusetts,, who once
tainted at the ruf1ianism of one of the bar
barians, valiantly denounced Secretary
McCulloch as the perpetrator OF a wllful
and deliberate lie in al official paper from
his Department.; whereupon the valiant Sen
ator was himself, in turn, denounced for
doing ditto by the gentle Sherman; and the
debate taking a wide range, eliminated IN
what another Senator termed foul-mouth-
ed abuse" The cause of the trouble was,
of course, some new project to rob the bar
barians of their remaining pittance.
Farmers Club of Spring Garden and
Rocky Point.
This useful Association continues to hold
its monthly meetings with much regularity
and with marked benefit to the farming
classes. The February meeting WAS held
on Thursday last at the residence of Mr..
James Durham. In another column of this
paper will be seen some important proceed
ings of the Club at the last meeting, on an
Agricultural College in North Carolina, and
disappearing the recent Act of the Legis-
laturc in appropriating to the University
the land scrip donated to this State by
Congress for Agricultural purposes.
A valuable plan of this Club is not merely
the discussion, at its regular meetings, OF
mooted questions in agriculture, but time
is set apart to the hearing of essays and
addresses on agricultural subjects from diff
ferent gentlemen, some of whom are, and
others are not, members of the Club. At
the meeting on Thursday last our talented
young townsman, Samuel A. Ashe, Esq,
addressed the Club by invitation. 1t was
his debut as public speaker in New Han
over-made among his many warm friends
in and about Rocky Point, and it was very
successful-all that his friends could de-
sire-plain, practical and forcible. He
showed clearly that agriculture is the basis
of our future prosperity-dilated with force
upon the magnitude of the interests at
stake, and how greatly each one of us is
affected by the condition of agriculture in
our midst. The great question of the day
the labor system-he dwelt upon in appro-
pirate terms. Mr.. Ashe made an excellent
address, and the thanks of the Club were
rendered him.

was decided at Raleigh recently, for exam
pie, remove the case to the Supreme Court
of the United States, upon the ground that
there is no such sovereign State as North
Carolina to which he is bound to pay taxes,
and let that tribunal decide whether such
is the situation. If Congress is right, there
as no State Of North Carolina, which can
exercise the sovereign power of taxation,
and the people ought to know it and save
their money.
If Congress is not right, then the people
of North Carolina are not bound by their
military bill.
It is very likely, if the Supreme Court
should decide favorably to the South, that
Congress would Immediately abolish the

they would have the responsibility on their

Natural History nd thc Internal Regions.
Professor Agassiz delivered q brilliant
lecture on the Monkeys and the native
inhabitants of South America, " ut the Coop
er Institute, in New York, last Tuesday
evening. We think the Professor might
find an equally interesting subject nearer
home, and in the same line Of natural his
tory. The applause might not be so hearty,
but lecture on 1.-The Hyenas of North
America, " would, in loyal hands, be very
thrilling.
On the same evening, ut the Brooklyn
Academy of Music, VIM. Lloyd Garrison
lectured on impeachment, and used, natu-
rally, the objects most familiar to his own
mind for illustration. For instance, in a
strain of angelic truth and charity, he said
that Milton must have had a clairvoyant
vision of the late rebellion, when he wrote
that part of Paradise Lost devoted to the
rebellion in Heaven, inasmuch as 1t was
only necessary to change the names rs fol-
lows, viz for Satan, read jeff Davis for
Belial, A. II. Stephens for Beelzebub, Ma
son for Lucifer, Gen. Lee, and for Pan
demonium, the South. Milton represented
other characters in that rebellion, to which
Mr.. Garrison does not allude, perhaps
from a sentiment of reverence.
It is a curious fact that i'll the Heavenly
city of Boston, in the year 1880, Mr.. Gar
rison was stripped and dragged through
the streets with a rope around his neck, for
trying to make an abolition speech, and
in Charleston, in 1866, he enjoyed Il Jubilee
