At KEYSHY & GRAY's, under the Central Hotel,
Augusta Ga! KENNEY & GRAY are good adyer-
tisers; in fact il seems to that their usefulness
and virtues should, by this time, have become
part and parcel of human knowledge. And not
only are KESyIY & GRAY libersl advertisers, but
we know of no men who live up more rigidly and
more honestly to their advertising professions.
In this issue of the. Adeertiser they have new
advertisement, headed most truthfully "First
Class Clothing" We call the attention of all our
readers to the said advertisement. When any OF
them visit KENSEY & GRAY, which we hope will
bo the very next time they 60 to Augusta, they
will find that these popular and honorable mer.
chants come up invariably to every word contained
in their advertisements. Never bo Indifferent to
the outer man We advise you-all you horrid
mcn-to 20 periodically to KESYEY & GRAY, and
be spruce.t up in such cunning, tasteful and ar
tis,ic III nler as to hide fully decade of your
f.st.increasins and heaviiy-te:ling years.

Elect from Edgefield.

GlCCt iIuUi GuScucius
The appended paragraphs from the Charleston
papers will tell the tale. To be thus dealt with
in the midst Of his blushing honors was indeed O
humiliation for The Senator from Edgefeld. But
we weep not for him. neither do we blush. He
is none Of ours. I'll: the misguided negroes whs
should weep; and, us they cannot blush, they
would do well to turn extremely pale.

GEN. GRANTS SPEECH TO THE TANNERS
AT BELVIDERE.

Tho other day. at Belyidere, in this state,
when Grant was on his way to Washington,
he made a speech. The whole oft was
comprised in twenty.nine words, viz:
"Gentlemsn--I see many Of you in uniforms.
\ gu laid them of three years ago. You can now
lay them Oh again, and We will have peace. food
night"
The Sunday Times says if Mr.. Grant were
the most accomplished diplomat on the face
Of the earth, and had fully made up his mind
to disappoint the party which has raised him
to the presidency, by Withdrawing the feder
al armies from the south, and restoring the
affairs Of the people in that section to their
own control if, in brief, he had resolved
that his policy shall be the very reverse Of
what his radical supporters expect it to be
aud if he had studied month on the phrase
ology in which he could foreshadow that res
oiution in public speech, in the fewes
words, and yet with the least appearance c
premeditation,--h could not have compo
ed a speech more admirable for the purpo'
than the foregoing.
Was it purpose, or was it mere accideu
that caused Mr.. Grant to say what he di
say at Belvidere If it was the former, III
speech can easily be supposed to have mear
great deal fit was the latter, it must b
supposed to have been us meaningless c

the assurance Of the servant that we should
be called bright and early, felt anxious on
retiring lest we should not rise in time.
therefore beset myself to devsing an alarm.
The only base of operations was nv watch

the minute hand having many revolutions
TO make ere the appointed hour. A blade
IN each end of my pocket knife was opened,

be balanced, and at the same time have the
blades on line with the face, one blade
resting lightly on the figure 4--the minute.
hand passing over it in its revolution. The
object of this arrangement was 10 cause the
hour hand, on arriving at the hour of 4 To
come IN contact with the blade and the
knife being balanced, the hand would have
sufficient power to move it on its pivot (the
pennies; the opposite end of the knife, Of
course, having a reverse motion.
