2 BALTIMORE weeks ago, we
wrote an article on the claims of
Baltimore on the business men of
the South. We extract with pleasure
the following paragraphs from the
Charleston Ne,os, on the same topic:
There is no city in the United
States that, to Southerner, has more
pleasant associations than are con-
nected with the name and memory
d, of Baltimore. The Monumental
City" looked upon herself as city
Of the South: and, when the late war
began, she showed by her conduct
the purity and disinterestedness of
her creed. >.t,e-
Those who have pined day after
day in the barrack- k-hutches of Fort
Delaware, those who have frozen and
burned at Point Lookout; those who
have tasted the unpleasantness of
Fort McHenry, and the pens of
Elmira; need not be told what Balti-
more did, in clothing the naked,
feeding the hungry, and giving words
of comfort to the wounded and dis
tressed. The good works of the peo-
pie of Baltimore, were only limited
by the wants of those who were suf-
fering, or by the restrictions of mill
tary orders. They knew no such
words as wearying and turning back;
but gave freely of all that they had
for the benefit of the Southern soldier,
at O time when word, or act of kind
ness, for the Southern cause, was
liable to end in tedious imprison-
ment, Or forced journey ''across
the lines" A Southerner, when the
war closed, however worn or shatter-
ed, however banished or torn, found
warm welcome in Baltimore. His
! reception was not measured accord
ing to the lace upon his sleeve, but,
whatever his rank or condition, he
received cordial greeting and sub
stantial aid. Means were found of
Aassisting Southerners in their bust
yness affairs. Men who were able to
work were given employment; but
there, even, the big-hearted Balti-
moreans did not stop. They plan
ned a way Of educating the orphan
children of Southern soldiers; they
subscribed for the support Of the
manned and injured; they poured out
their. substance like water, in behalf
of the destitute South.
1t would be q mockery indeed, to
pretend that it was necessary to prove
the claims of Baltimore upon the
South. Gratitude, honor, love, re-
spect; this is what the South gives
to Baltimore, and, with all her giving,
it will be long ere the vast debt is
paid.
But, while Baltimore is large and
fourishing commercial city, there is
one way of tightening the burden
that lies upon our shoulders. AS o
market for the South, Baltimore is
equal to New York. Her business is
rapidly increasing, and, already, n
fine line of steamships finds full
freights to and from Charleston.
The city that remembered the South
in the day of her adversely, should
be remembered when the South has
business to do and patronage to give.
A whole generation of Southern trade
will not give Baltimore more than
she has given the South; and, when
duty, interest and the memory of q
thousand acts of kindness, impel our
people III the same direction, there
ls little doubt Of the result.

- THE papers Of this State, Of late,

sGr The papers of this State, Of late,
have been noticing the fact, that an CO.
centric old chap, living at Dayton, did
not eat any food for sixty days. That
was very remarkable in the old gentle
man, but we have a hog in this County
that did not eat or drink anything for
four months, and astill lives" This may
appear like q very extravagant story, but
we obtained our information from a well
authenticated source. About the lst Of
January last, Mr.. John steutz, who lives
Eve miles North Of Orange, lost q hog,
and, after searching tor it in vain. con-
cluded that bis porker had been "gob-
bled up" But he was mistak en-. On the
5th Of this month, while working around
a straw stack, near a fence, he stuck his
pitchfork into the straw, when he heard
a noise not unlike the grunt Of q hog
On cutting the fence away apd removing
the straw, he found the lost hog, so enact
ated from its long fasting, that it could
not move. It was taken out and fed, and
is now getting along finely, but can moi
"stand alone" yet. II is supposed thai
the hog went under the straw to shelter
from the cold, and was unable to get out

CONSUMPTION DURABLE BY On
sCHEyCK'S MEDICINES. e3I

To. Cure Consumption, the system must be
prepared so that the lungs will heal. Tose-
complish this, the liver and stomach must
first be cleansed and an appetite created for
good wholesome food, which, by these medi-
oines will be digested properly, and good
healthy blood made thus building up the
constitution. SCHENCK'S MAND RAKE
PILLS cleanse the stomach of all bilious or
mucous accumulations and, by using the Sea
Weed Tonic in connection, the appetite Is re-
stored,

three remedies, all impurities are expelled
from the system, and good, wholesome blood

directions, Consumption very frequently In
It's last stage yields readily To their aetion.-
Take the pills frequently, to cleanse the liver
and stomach. It does net follow that because
the bowels are not c%ostive they are not requir-
ed. for sometimes in diarrh@a they are neces-
sary. The stomach must be kept healthy,
and an appetite created to allow the Pulmonio
Syrup to act on the respiratory orga 9 prepi

o'clock, on Friday morning, Of last week,
a very destructive FIRE occurred in WOos-

He at once gave the alarm, and soon
citizens and fremen with engines were at
the scene. I~ngraham's store room was a
mass Of fire from one end to the other,
the floor burning through to the cellar,
and running up the walls 10 the Demo

sitting from the burning goods, and with
s~mothering effect rolled out in black vol,
umes with flames, wherever it could find
egress. There seemed no hope Of saving
the building ; the fire had penetrated to
the second story, and the printing office
was on FIRE in the counting room. But
the fremen did their duty--did il. well
and nobly, that morning. They allowed
the flames TO go no farther, and in a short
time not q spark remained. Only by
their promptness and great exertiona we
we're saved what could easily have been
the severest conaagration ever In this
