DIR. j. MARION SIMs.-This accom-
pished South Carolinian will long be
remembered for his recent handsome
donation to the destitute Of his native
District, Nancaster.) Speaking of
him, an exchange says:
''Dr. j. Marion Sims, who received
some years since the Gross of the
Legion of Honor from the Emperor
for services to several members of the
Imperial family, has recently been
decorated with the title and insignia
of the Order of st. Maurice and
Lazarus by the King of ITALY, and
mas been named commander, first
class, of the Order of Isabel Ia Ca
tholique by the Queen of Spain.
These last marks of distinction have
been conferred on the Doctor as a
recognition of the value of his late
medical work, which has been trans
lated into all the languages of Europe.
DR.. Sims gave, few evenings since,
q very bailliant reception and supper
to the members of the International
Medical Congress, now in session in
Paris. A large number of the medi-
cal sacanls of France, England, Ger
many, Rnssia, Spain, Italy, the
United States and the English and
Spanish Islands were present"

A private letter from Cincinnati,
says that the country along the rail-
road, between that city and Cleve-
land, is so parched and dried up. that
it has been set on fire in numerous
places by sparks from the engines;
and the country for and wide has
been burned over. And an intelli-
gent, well-informed Ohian, gives it
as his opinion, that the farmers of
the State had we'll nigh lost their
whole years labor in consequence of
the long continued and severe drought
with which the State has been visited.

TlDo Next Presidency.

We do not know that we of the
South will have much hand in select
ing the next President, nevertheless
il is curious and interesting to watch
the moves on the political chess
board. The New York World sug-
gests that the plan, as unfolded by
the Tribune, is to endeavor to throw
the next Presidential election into the
House of Representatives, knowing
that that body will secure genuine
radical in the White House, and that
radicalism is safer in their hands than
with the people. The Tribune ridi-
cules the claims and pretensions of
General Grant, whom in effect itpro-
nounces a sort of epauletted dandy.
Yet, it is apparent that if General
Grant is nominated, he will receive
the votes of the moderate or Con-
servative Republicans, notwithstand-
ing this jeering of the Tribune. On
the other hand, an ultra radical poll
tician, such as Judge Chase for in
stance, will command the support Of
the ultras. Together they might get
all of the Republican party, and the
Democrats not being able to com
mand a majority of the electoral
college, the election goes to the
House of Representatives as matter
of course, and the end is plain.
The World warns General Grant
against permitting himself to be used
&c play this game out, and assures
him that he will be only beating the
bush, that some one else may catch
the bird.
The speculations of politicians are
entertaining; but there are so many
interests, motives, and movements to
be yet developed before the election,
that there is no telling what General
Grant or the parties may be inclined
to do. At present the ultra radicals
are in favor of Judge Chase. The
Tribune is their organ, and that pa
per finds it necessary to put the
breaks down to stop the Grant fever.
That military chieftain is compared
to uniformed young dandy, the aid
of the then Governor, Seward, and
his appearance upon the political
theatre as candidate for the Presi-
dency as q fitting occasion to repeat
tho inquiry made when the dashing
aid passed by, "for what have I been
toiling, sweating, and worrying in
political lifo these twenty years? 1t
was to make that young man feel as
well as he does to-day" General
Grant, who fought through the war
that such partizans as the Tribune
brought on, will possibly feel little
riled at such talk as this, and possibly
not. He will at least think it very
cool! It is, indeed, very true that
the "toiling and eating." and agi-
tating of the Tribune and its kind,
have filed the land with these finely
dressed captains, and they ought to
treat them more civilly.

Tno Eduontion or tho South.


This is one of the hobbies of the
philanthropic editor of the New York
Tribune, especially since the close Of
the war. In its issue of the 18th, il
has another long disquisition on the
subject. ino which it says, that al.
though it has said q good deal, from
time to time, ''about the ignorance
of the South" there is one word
more to be spoken, on the direction
that education should take at the
South, the class of people it should
bear upon, and the ends it should
aim to accomplish. The first point
is argued and the figures brought for
ward to show that prodigious efforts
have been made by the Northern
people for the education of the me-
groes; but the Tribune says that it
should not be forgotten that the
<tpoor whites" of the South, includ-
ing the great mass of the Southern
people, are as ignorant as the blacks;
and have been purposely kept in ig-
norance, as the blacks were, for
social and political ends, and are as
hopeless, intellectually, as the blacks
are.
We have had, recently, great re-
spect for the Tribune. or, rather, its
editor-in-chief; but when such q
wholesale SANDER as the above appears
in its leading editorial, we are con-
strained to belieye that the rancor
of partizanship, infamed by tho
result of the recent elections, have
blinded the writer of this, and SINH
Lar articles, to the claims of justice
and truth. What purpose is served
by thus traducing the Southern peo-
pie, in reviving ISLANDERS and lies from
the dead ashes of the past-allega-
tions that have been time and again
refuted?
The only possible apparent object
Is to keep inhamed the passions and
preiudices Of such of its readers, who
believe its accusations against the
people of the South. These allega-
tions may add a few votes to the
party the Tribune represents, but
chat is poor recompense for the ut
terance of such false accusations. In
the next sentence to that which we
have quoted, the Tribune says: "The
South had no common schools-no
free schools for any class. white or
black" Can such wilful and wanton
falsehoods be uttered by journal,
whose writer's know they are such,
when they pen them. and can they
be believed by one intelligent reader,
out of ten, who are in the habit of
reading the paper referred to Z? Of
course, Mr.. Greeley, or whoever
wrote this article, attributes the al
legged ignorance of the mass of the
Southern people, to the dead institu-
tion of slavery; but for the life of us,
we cannot see the object he had in
view. unless, as we have said, it is to
keep alive strife and discord between
the North and the South, which we
had hoped every virtuons, intelligent
and philanthropic citizen was anxious
to suppress, and suppress effectually.
It will take a dozen of 81. c. we'll
written, moderate articles to coun-
teract the baneful effect of this gra-
tuitous batch of Misrepresentation
and calumnies.

Or, THE DUST, THE HoRRIB1E DUST.
Our streets for several weeks have
presented a miserable aspect-no
rain, and the dust at least ankle deep.
Yesterday and the day before, there
was every appearance Of shower,
but the old adage of Cali signs fail
in dry spell" was fully verified.
How slight sprinkle would relieve
the appearance of things, and make
pedestrianism rleasurable. What a
pity it is that the mohair appendages
which the ladies wear on the back of
their heads are misnomers; other
wise, their contents could be dis
charged upon the thirsty earth, and
thus prove-the waterfalls, we mean
(what they certainly are not in their
present occupation) useful articles.

INVISIBLE PoIsoNs.-TGe Medicis

INVISIBLE POISONS.-The Medicis
and the Borgias fortified their systems
with powerful antidotes against the subtle
poisons with which they used to destroy
their enemies, and which they feared
might one day be employed against them
selves. There are invisible poisons, al
most as deadly, against which few of us
think of taking any precautions. These
banee are in the air. When the atmos-
phere is surcharged with them, as it some
times is at this season, epidemic fevers
ensue. The summer which has just
closed has been most remarkable one.
The amount OF rain that has fallen has
been enormous, and the cxhalations from
the soil have been, and are, dense and
copious almost beyond example. These
exhalations exercise pernicious infu-
ence on the vital powers, and predispose
the system to disease. Everywhere peo-
pie are complaining Of unusual debility,
lassitude and depression. These symp-
toms are generally forerunners of an epi-
demic. Combat them early-hefore they
lapse into something worse-with
HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS,

gree deleterious to health, and containing

in medical practice. A course of Hostel
