Two YOUNG LADIES TREE NAKED
YOUTH.-A young man of Liberty coun-
ty, Miss, who short time previous won
the heart and hand of neighborhood girl,
denuded himself of his fig leaves for the
very pleasant object of taking bath in
the creek. Scarcely had he submerged
his heated frame in the cooling waters
ere he heard the cracking of twigs and
the silvery ring of girlish laughter, and
looking up, he saw-horrendum mon
strum the object of his affection and a
female companion approaching. Quicker
than thought and unperceived, he made
for the bank, and running nimbly up a
tree, there waited the end of his predica-
ment. The young ladies approach-our
hero's heart thumps-they stop just be-
meath the tree that holds him, and very
naturally start with surprise when they
see mans clothing on the ground and nc
wearer about. Our friend above shud-
dered at their curiosity, desiring to make
his retreat more secure, moves cautiously
higher up, but accidentally puts his whole
weight on decayed limb, which breaks
and drops him, with all his blushin;
charms, pop in the midst of the girls
He of course spins off at tangent ike {
bursted shell in one direction, and the,
retreat equally as fast end horrifed in an
other.

AN ACCOMMODATING YouNe MAN.

AN ACCOMMODATING YOUNG MAN
A little incident occurred last week In one
of the cars of the Hartford and New Ha.
ven railroad, which gave a gratifying
proof of the Difference paid by young men
to the wishes of the ladies, and their readi-
ness to supply a want as soou as it be-
comes known. The car in question was
nearly filled, as the cars are apt to be i,
this day of travel. Its floor near tn,
door was covered with tobacco juice, as
alas, car floors are likely to be in this dav
when the use of the vile weed so much
prevails. At one of the way stations q
we'll dressed lady entered the car, looked
with unconceaied disgust at the pools of
yellow and Shiny juice on the floor. tberl
raised her dress slightly and picked hel
way across. The only vacant sitting If
the car was in seat occupied in part by
young man, who at once made room fo,
the lady by his side. As soon as she was
seated, with look Of relief, mingled witt
one of solicitude, the lady asked her seat.
mate ''Do you chew tobacco 2" s|No
ma'am,'' was the reply, shut 1 can ge
you chaw if you like" The look O
disgust again crept over the lady's face
while -hoas sitting by smiled audibly.-

DR.. SCHENCK's PULMoNIC SYRUP-Tbis
great medicine cured DR.. j. H. Schenck, the
Proprietor, of Pulminary Consumption when
1t bad assumed its most formidable aspect,
and when speedy death appeared to be in
evltable. His physicians pronounced his
case lucurable, when he commenced the use
of this simple but powerful remedy. His
health was restored, in a very short time,
and no return of the disease has been appre-
hended. for all the symptoms quickly disap-
peared, and his present weight is more than
two hundred pounds.
Since his recovery, he has devoted his at
tention exclusively to the cure of Consump-
ton, and the diseases which are usually
complicated with it, and the cures effected
by his medicines have been very numerous
and truly wonderful. DR.. Schenck makes
professional visits to several of the larger
cities weekly, where he has large concourse
of patients, and it is truly astonishing to see
poor cOnsumptives that have to be lifted out
of their carriages, and in a few months
healthy, robust persons. DIR. Schenck's Pull
monic Syrup, Seaweed Tonic, and Mandrake
Pills are generally all required in curing
Consumption. Full directions accompany
each, so that any one can take them with
out seeing DIR. Schenck. but when it is con-
venieut it is best to see him. He gives
advice free, but for thorough examinat ton
with his Respirometer his fee is three dol
lars.
Please observe, when purchasing. that
the two ikenesses of tie Doctor-one when
in the last stage of Consumption, and the
other as he now is, in perfect health-are
on the Government stamp.
Sold by all Druggists and Dealers. Price
$3.50 per bottle, or $3.50 the half dozen.

Letter from Hon. B. F, Perry,
To HE Editors Of the Columbia PhUnir:

To HE Editors Of The CotumJia Ph@ni1:
The action Of tho rump Congress, the
oher day, in extra session, ought to con-
vince every one that the radical party have
no intention Of restoring the Union until
the Southern States arc thoroughly radcnl-
lied, and will elect Senators and members
of the House Of that party. The Kentucky
rcpresontativcs-nin in number, and all
Democrats Shave been donicd their seats
in Congress, simply because they worc not
Black Republicans. If The Southern States
under the reconstruction policy of Prcsi-
dent Johnson, had elected radicals, and
given any assurance Of their adhesion to
that party, no one can suppose that their
Representatives would have boon excluded
from Congress. In the fall of 1866, one of
tho first things done by Congress was to
purge the Senate, and exclude Democrats
enough from that body TO give them two.
thirds majority.
The question will be for tho people of tho
Southern States to decide, in tho coming
elections whether they prefer to remain as
they are by calling conventions, adopt.

Republican majority in Congress? How
