A PoLlrlcAL MANUAL.-We ere pleased
to be in receipt ola copy of"a Political
Manual for 1867. including classified
summary of the important executive, leg
islature, Judicial, .politico-military, and
general facts of the period, from July 10,
1868, to July Is, 1869. By Edward Nc
Pherson, l.. L. D., clerk of the House of
Representatives of the United States.'
Presuming that this work is by no means
partisan in its character, for we have not
time to read its entire contents, we can
conceive OF no more useful work of refers
ence to those who desire to keep posted in
reference to the prominent poll teal events
of the period. We don't well see how
politician could get along without it, unless
he has an extraordinary memory.

THOUSANDS of our American ladies
suffer and die every year from diseases
peculiar to their sex--in fact this form
of disease is the scourge of American
females. Very, many OF them go on
from year 10 year without help and
without hope, because they know of no
remedy. But, fortunately, there is a
safe and reliable remedy, by the aid of
which hundreds have been restored to
perfect health. This great remedy ia
DR.. Lawrence's celebrated " WOMAN S
FRIEND" Its great merit is recognized
by the best physicians, and from its ma
ture and usefulness is becoming popular

RACE FOR FUN.-A negro fellow
yesterday morning, manifested the
rare trait in the character of that
race of admiring chickens; and in
order to- give bounds to his admira>
tion in that line, .'freezed on to" basket
of them owned by Mr.. Thomas W. Fentress,
a huckster in the market. That gentle
man, not duly appreciating the darky's
efforts to crafty his peculiar taste for
chickens, which it is. supposed by some is
not possessed by colored individuals, ex-
cept under peculiar circumstances, immes
diately gave the alarm, and general ske-
daddle took place. Officer Butler, in or'
der to remind the negro that the owner Of
the chickens did not approve of that kind
ofsport fred at him to induce him to stop:
but instead of doing so, he only increased
his pace, and finding the pursuers too many
in number. for him, and supposing they
were really bent on giving him race for
the mere fun of the thing, dropped his bas'
ket of chickens and distaaeed them all
He beat them all, and took through Little
Water, Commerce and Gay streets, and
went ON is way rejoicing. Nobody sup
posed that he wanted to steal.

P1oUs BEEs.-Wonders will never cease.
The painters, in painting the steeple of the
Catholic Church, we learn, have discovr
cred very large bee hive, that it is sup
posed must have been located there for
several years. 1t is said it was no pry'ng
curiosity that occasioned the d scovery,
but the Vigorous efforts of the busy little
laborers to protect their treasure from the
encroaches of the painters, made the mat
ter OF the hive being there apparent. Til
bees will have to be smoked out before the
painters can proceed with their work.

CHARAcTER.-A good character is
more value than wealth to a young man.
Ask him who is confined in felon's cell.
What would he not give to be as pure as
the dews that fall upon him in his native
place? He signs for the smiles that greet
ed him in childhood, mothers kiss and
sisters embrace. How could he put forth a
right hand and sin, alas! he listened to the
voice of the charmer; he departed from the
path Of rec.itude; he associated with de-
PRAYED characters, and now he weeps the
bitter fruits of his folly. Young man, the
time may come when you will leave a
mothers fold and seek your living abroad.
Will you carry with you the influence of
mothers love and a fathers prayer, or dis
regarding parental counsel, will you make
your companions of the vile and take to
your bosom the polluted. Ono stain upon
your fair character may prove your ruin.
We pray you then to beware. Let the
shield of virtue SURF ound your heart and
the prayer, lead me not into temptation
constantly alive on your lip.
Coon AND BAD FARM SToeKs.-There is
no fact in agriculture more fully establish

stock. Fifteen dollars apiece seems to be

A book by General Lee will awaken such
special interest, that We are. glad to cal |
attention to it. The University Publish

need not be told that this is work O. great
interest and value. 1t is the standard hiss
tory of military operations at the South

such is book which every reading man
should possess; but its interest and value
are both greatly incres red by Gen. r. E
Lees thorough revision and correction,
and by the valuable Biography of his
