your duty to your dear old State ut time

State, but dare feel so no moro after witnessing
this gathering. Here are young and old, men
and women. Such a demonstration in the
Third District, where neither rain nor storm
| can impair your zeal, will not be confined to
Orangcbuig alone, but will spread beyond its
limits and wake up old Barnwcll, and soon will
be sent back her loud acclaim Why arc you
here to-day! We have been promised peace
For three years we have had that peace, which
is worse than war peace destructive of libcr-
ty aud manhood and we gather that the only
opportunity afforded us is,on the third of next
November, when we may dissolve this crush

the inslduous cheat OF such a peace, and We Of
the South, feeling it our duty are determined

THE WEEKLY GLEANER-Devoted to
the rehabilitation Of the South in its former
prosperity-is offered to subscribers at the
low rate of $3.50 for six months.
The annals of tho American Republic
show no political campaign comparable in
the magnitude of it's issues and the mo-
righteousness of its results to that for the
Presidency, now pending. Indeed, the
very life OF free government is on trial,
and it will be a sad commentary on the
capacity of the people for the exercise of
that high trust if they, the jurors who are
to try the issue, pronounce verdict of
self-condemnation. If tho South has any
hope it is in the success of the Democratic
party in the coming Presidential election:
and every citizen is vitally interested in
the progress of the battle, and cannot
afford to be without a sound and reliable
newspaper.
AS an organ, not only of sound Demo-
cratic principles, but as a vehicle of ge-
neral news, the CLEANER is confidently
commended to Southern support. A large
eight-pago paper, of forty-cight columns,
filled with the contributions of able cor
respondents, the daily wealth of telc-
graphic communication and readable edi-
torials. Especially will it be valuable as
an organ to disabusc the Northern mind
of the falschoods in relation to Southern
thought and actions, with which it is the
industrious vocation of certain parties to
poison the springs Of Northern feeling on
Southern subjects. In this view of the
matter, no moro valuable aid to the true
reconstruction Of the country and restora-
ton of just sentiment at the North toward
the South can be rendered than by sub
scribing to the WEEKLY CLEANER and
scnding it to acquaintarces ard friends in
the Northern States.
We ask the aid of such Of our political
comrades as ehall see this prospectus, in
tho distribution of the paper; especially
during the progress of the impending
campaign.
The WEEKLY CLEANER is published
every Wednesday morning, and mailed to
single subscribers at $500 per anum; Six
Months, $3.50; Three Months, 75c.; Single
Copies, 10c. Sample copies will bo sent
on receipt of address. Money for sub
scription should be sent in drafts or post
Office orders, but may be sent in a regis
tered letter.
Write your address, post Office, County
and State, plainly.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

AVOID POISON.-INVALIDR READER,
do you know what nine-tenths of the bit
ter compounds you are solicited by the
proprletors to accept as universal pana-
ceas are composed of? Give heed for
moment. They are manufactured from
unpurified alcohol, containing a consider
able portion of fusH OLA poison almost
as deadly as prussic acid The basis of
the regular tinctures of the Materia Me-
dica is the same. No amount of 'herbal
extracts" can overcome the bad tendency
OF this pernicious clement. The essence
of sound rye, thoroughly rectified, is the
only stimulant which can be safely used
as component of q tonic, alternative and
anti-bilious medicine, and HOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BITTERS is the only medi-
cinal preparation in the world in which
this article is used as an ingredient.
Hence tho extraordinary elects of This
great specific. 1t gives strength without
producing excitement. No other tonic
does this. All the ordinary bitters flush
the face and affect tho brain. Hostetter's
Bitters diffuses an agreeable calm through
the nervous system, promotes digestion
and produces sleep. No other tonic so
quickly revives the exhausted physical
energies, restores the appetite and re-
moves the gloom and depression which
always accompanies weakness of the
bodily powers. 1t purgcs from the svs-
tenn the morbid hnmors Which retard its
natural functions, and which bring pale
ness to the check and suffering to the
brow 1t banishes those clogs upon plea
sure, restores the System TO high health.

The Sexes and AmusemeDts.

It may be laid down as a general rule
that amusements which separate the sexes
are dangerous. l would not press the
truth too narrowly and literally; but
undoubtedly it is a general truth that
where women seek their amusements in
one way by themselves, there is in both
ways a tendency to degeneration and
temptation. God meant that man and
woman should live together, work to-
gether, and in all the functions Of life -
civil, social, religious, artistic and intel
lectual - cooperate with each other !;
and their mutual relations are harmonic
ing and balancing, and 10 where else
moro than in the seeking, and prosecu-
tion of amusements. l believe that boys
and girls should go to school together.
As they sit together in the household, so
think they should sit together in our
temples of learning. Colleges should not
be for all men or all for women; but the
same buildings and the same professors
should be provided for both in common.
And as it is in every thing else, so it
should be in amuscments. There is much
greater liability to temptation and i'm
morality, where amusement is sought in
the isolation or separation Of the sexes.
Therefore, all exhibitions of pictures
and statues, all provisions for recreation,
all institutions for public amuscments,
should be such as to enable people to go
in groupes and families.
do not think amusements can be
good generally, in community in which
man is ashamed to take his whole fam
lily to them. If their is any thing you
would not ike your wife and children to
participate in with you, the presumption
is that it is wrong; and if there is any
thing you would like them to participate
in with you, the presumption is that it is
right. And this might be made a rule
Of judgment far more widely than it is
now. = H. W. Beccher

Peter Cartwrirht who is an attendnnt

Peter Cartwright, who is an attendant
of the Methodist Conference at Chicago
is most notable character, and is thus
sketched by correspondent Gle is
now about eighty four years of age, and
has been an effective preacher for sixty
! four years, and served in the office of pre-
| siding elder for half century He has
attended every General Conference since
the first organization of Methodism in
America, except two. He is one of the
few links that connect the heroic age of
Methodism with the present. Some men
became eminent by culture, gathering
through years of toll the lore of buried
ages, but some heavcn-appointcd leaders
are born great, and to this class Peter
Cartwright, who in his day was really
great man, belongs.
When in his prime, he was about five feet
ten inches in height, with a compact,
symetrical, sinewy form, black hair slight
ly curled, round, well-poised head, and
dark, piercing eyes. His face was, and
still is, strongly marked with intelligence,
will, power and energy, and in an early
day, when his voice was clear, powerful

meeting preachers. He is now too old to
participate much in debate, yet few who
know him would even now care to stir
the old lion, for fear his paw might still
be pointed. In the early years of his
ministry he was bold even to rashness, if
it did not sometimes border on roughness
1t is said that he was once preaching
in Nashville, Tennessee, to a very crowd
cd congregation, when an unusual stir
about the door disturbed the congrcga-
tion and annoyed the preacher. A min
lister sitting in the pulpit said to him in
at apologetic undertone, "Brother Cart
wright, General Jackson just came in.
"Well," responded Cartwright, "who is
General Jackson !? IF he don't repent
he'll be damned as quick as Guinea ne
gro!' This was said in so loud tone
that Jackson heard it, and next day meet
ing MIR. Cartwright in the street, he said
to him "Sir, if l had an army of ten
thousand men of your courage / could
whip the world"

The Peabody National Medal.

1t will be remembered that at the last
session of the Thirty ninth Congress the
President Of the United States was au.
thorized to present to Mr.. George Pea
body gold medal, in consideration or his
beneicent gift Of over million dollars
to the South for educational purposes,
to be applied without regard to color. 1t
has just been completed and received at
the State Department, and is decidedly
the handsomest and most unique affair
ever made in this country, and as work
Of art surpasses any medal ever present
ed by our government heretofore. 1t is
three inches in diameter and half inch
thick on the front is the profile of Mr..
Peabody in alto rclieUo, and on the re-
verse the following inscription 1.-THE
people of the United States to George
Peabody, in acknowledgment of his
benefcent promotion of universal cduca-
tion." 1t is mounted on base, and to
the right Of the medal are two palmetto
trees in gold, six inches high, around
which is ivy, emblem of friendship
To the left OF the medal is the figure Of
benevolence, with one hand resting upon
the medal, holding in it spray or laurel,
and with the other pointing to Mr.. Pea,
body. Under the palmetto trees are two
children, one representing a white child
and the other black, and white child
pointing to bencvolencc and the black the
one to himself, as if saying, cam l, too,
to be educated 2" The base is six inches
long, three -fourths of an inch thick and
one onequarter inches high. and the
whole work is of solid gold. In the rear
of the medal, resting upon the base, is
perfect globe, which revolves, and around
this are books and various instruments
representing the progress of civilization
and education. On the front of the base
is our national shield, executed in enamel.
The medal is enclosed in handsome
cabinet of ebony and birds eye maple,
lined with purple velvet, the top Of which
revolves when the medal is.placed upon
it, thus exhibiting it without placing the
hand upon it to change its position The
entire work was made with tools and not
struck from die. 1t is q most beautiful
piece of workmanship, and is greatly ad-
mired by all who have seem it. On
Thursday it will be exhibited to the Cabi-
net, after which it be placed on exhibi-
tion in the Capitol Washiagton Star.

The CeleStials.

In his eloquent speech at the San
francisco banquet, Mr.. Burlingamc
frankly explained what he and his COL
leagues in the Chinese embassy expect to
accomplish. He said the creation of the
embassy was largely due to the adoption
OF the cooperative policy; the policy
by which the representatives at Pekin Of
the treaty powers act together in all
discussions with the imperial government.
Under this policy, he said, trade has in-
creased from SS2,000,0O0 to $500, ,00O,
OOO; steamboats, have been multiplied,
railroads have been built, light houses
have been erected; hundreds of foreigners
have been taken into the civil service of
China; Wheaton's International Law has
been adopted as text book of the en-
plre; Christian missions have advanced
from the Yellow Sea to the great plains
OF Mongolia; and now the imperial gov
eanment has determined to seek closer re-
lations with Europe and America. "The
Embassy" said Mr.. Burlingame, "means
progress. 1t means that China will have
her questions stated; and, conscious of
her own integrity, she is willing to sub
NIT her questions to the general Judgment
of mankind. 1t means that she intends
to come into the brotherhood Of nations.
1t means commerce; it means peace; it
means a uniication of her own interests
with the whole human race" This is
glowing language, but that is no reason
for pronouncing it exaggerated. Mr.
Burlingame is certainly better able than
we arc to interpret the motives which in
fuenced the Pekin cabinet to give him
his appointment, and to forecast the re-
suits which will flow from their act. At
all events he has the good wishes of all
the civilized world for his complete sue
cess in tho exceptionally important work
which he has undertaken.

A Country Girl in Beecher's Church.

At first thought he was farmer, he
told us so much about sowing and har-
vesting. Then, when he talked of train
ing. roses and pruning grape-vines, l
changed my mind, and concluded he was
a gardener; but soon after he described
printing, and made it so plain, l decided
that he must be printer after all. The
queerest thing about it was that he should
know all the folks up at Cross-cut Cor
nefs, and be able to describe them so ex-
actly. When he spoke of people who
think every thing they have is just the
incest and best going, L thought of Huldy
Tucker, and when he described those
who believe they are in a state of per-
fection, and can't do wrong, l knew he
must mean Deacon Pettigrew. l was so
much interested in all he had to say, did
not think Of any thing else, except once,
when my thoughts few to JOEL / so
longcd to have him there beside me
For [ want Joel to love Sunday; and |
am sure he never will unless he sees, as
[ have, how beautiful it can be made, and
what good, happy, cheerful thing such
a religion as Mr. Beecher's is. The con-
gregation looked so interested, so eager to
hear all he had to say, do believe they
would have stayed till night, if he had
chosen to go on preaching. l did not
notice single girl chewing caraway seed,
or single boy using his jack-knife on
the back of the pew. Deacon Spicer,
eighty-fve years old, always goes to sleep
and snores between our Parsons Hin
mans " filthy" and sixthly;" but the
old, white-haired men at Mr. Beecher's s
looked just as wide-awake as the young
ones, and | do believe everybody went
away feeling better, and kinder, aud more
resolved to lead good, true lives than
when they came" - Independent.
