the compromise City Levy is about $l,JOO,OOO less
than it was in the Hodges BILL and the County Levy

shonld be stated that Senator Stanford was absent
tonight having to 20 home, but Senator Kennedy
announced that if he had been present, he would
have voted with the majority of his associates. 1t
should also be stated that there were
two Democrats in tho House, Messrs. j.
B. Pearsall and Tilden Of Columbia, who
ioined with the Republicans last Friday, and voted
against these levies 1t should also be stated that
the Citizens Association consider these evies better
than they have been for years lpast. There is
no doubt but they are less than last year, as the
figures will show when printed.

Is a constitutional disease corruption OF the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being III the Circulation, Il
pervades the whole boay. and may burst our
IN disease on any part OF II. No organ Is free
from its attacks nor Is there one which Il may
not destroy. The scrotuloua faint IS yarlousy
caused by mercurisl disease, low living, DIS
ordered or unhealthy food. impure air, NTH
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above ali. by the venereal Infection What
ever be its origin, it Is hereditary IN the con-
stitution, descending a from parents TO children
unto the third and fourth generation; indeed,
il seems to be the rod of Him who says, II
will visit the iniquities Of the fathers upon
their children.
It's effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, IN
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, Is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions sores. This foul COZ
ruption, which Cenders IN the blood depresses
the energies of life, so that seTofiIlous consutu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-
ouently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous III their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint IN the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
CLIMATES the human family has Its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; ana many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain'

One quarter Of all our people are scrofulous;

From the Van Buren, (Ark.) Press. ]

From the Van Buren, (Ark.) Press
One day last week man living some
four or FIVE miles from Van Buren,, bv
the name of Isaac Weese, was killed. -
The circumstances of the killing are as
follows:
Weese at times was subject to crazy
turns, and when in these fits shamefullv
abused his little motherless daughter.
some ten or eleven years old, by burning
and other inhuman tortures 1t coming
the ears of the neighbors living In that
vicinity it was arranged between them, at
a certain time to 90 TO his house and Sc
cure him and take him to Van Buren, for
confinement. Two of the party by the
name of Cottrell, who were in advance of
the rest of the party, ON arriving at
Weese's house found him in the act of
torturing the little girl by burning with
fire; on demonstrating with him, like a
maniac he rushed at them and drove them
from the house and pursued them; one
of the young men got on his horse and
got away; the others horse got loose, and.
seeing there was no escape from the infu-
rated man, claims in self defense, drew
his pistol and shot him twice, from one of
which wounds he died. Weese was liv-
ing alone with his three children, two lit
tie boys and the girl.
James Cottrel was held on examina-
ton Saturday, before Justice Litrell, to
take his trial at the Circuit Court.
A father that would tortue child like
that little girl was represented to be, If
not radically insane, deserved to be torn
to pieces by inches.

Ague Cure,
FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF

FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF
Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
RemIttent Fever, chill Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed
for the whole class of diseases orig
ing I'm hillary deranRemeut, caused Dy
the Malaria OF Miasmatic COuntries'
We are enabled here to offer the community
remedy which, while ii cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless IN any
quantity. Such remedy Is invaluable IN districts
where these affecting disorders prevail. This
"CURE" expels the Iniasmatic poison Of FEVER
AND AGUE from the system, and prevents the de-
yelopment Of the disease, IT taken on the hrst ap-
preach Of its premonItory symptoms. It's not only
the best remedy ever vet discovered for this class
of complaints but also the cheapest. The large
quantity we supply for dollar brings it within the
reach of every body and in bilious districts where
FEVER AND AGUE prevails, every body should
have il and use il freely both for cure and protec
ton A great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of Intermittents is that it contains no Qunne
or mineral, consequently 1t produces no quInlsm or
other injurious effects whatever upon the constitu-
ton Those cured by it are left as healthy as If
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence of
the miasmatic poison. A great variety Of dsoT-
ders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neao0l1ia Rheumatism, Govt, Headache, Blind
ness Toothache, Ed1dche, C0tdJ1h, Asthma, TdI-
pitation, Painful affection of the Spleen, HySter-
res Pain an the B0Dels, Colo, PARALYSIS and De-
rangepaent of the Stomach, all of which, when
originating in this cause, put the intermittent
tune or become periodical. This " CURE expels
the poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them all alike. 1t is invaluable protection to
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. If taken occa-
sionally or daily while exposed TO the infection,
that will be excTeted from the system, and cannot
accumulate in sufficient quantity to rpen into dis
ease Hence it is even more valuable for protec-
ton than cure and few will suffer from Inter
mitents if they avail themselves of the protection
this remedy affords.

Grasses and Grains liza mississippi.


In your paper Of the Both ult., you call on
me for information in reference to raising
Timothy and Herds Grass; also as to
Wheat and Oats In reply would state
that | sowed about thirty acres, some tif-
teen years ago, in piece of low wet land,
which was too wet to cultivate in cotton
or corn, and was so wet that it was with
difficulty that it could be put in grass,
being almost equal to a quicksand. One
half | sowed in Timothy and the balance
in Herds grass, moving 1t every year
since, and after the first year | have saved
not less than two tons, to the acre, from
about twenty-five acres; the balance being
neglected and permitted to grow up in
briars and bushes. This year | saved at
least sevcnty-five thousand pounds of good
hay as ever you saw, from about twenty
five acres. The seed should be sown in
October, or the 1st of November; a gal
Ion of Timothy seed when they are well
cleaned, will be sufficient for an acre, and
some two gallons Of Herds grass, because
they cannot be cleaned so well as limo
thy. The land should be well plowed
and all the wild grass killed in the mead
ow when sown. | am fully persuaded
that Timothy and Herds grass will do in
any bottom land, such as is too wet to
produce anything else but grass. The
reason that there is no grass raised in the
South Is, that n soon rs it comes up and
can be seen, the stock is turned in on it,
and it is trampled down and eaten up be-
fore it has had time to form root, and it
is said to be worthless, 1t should have
ut least one year before stock is put on it.
| raised the rust proof oats this year,
and | think they are the best oats | have
ever seen for the South they can be
sown with the certainty of making crop,
being what their name implies, ''Rust
Proof; they were Sown on some of the
best land had, and produced about for
ty bushels TO the acre. The large White
Wheat which obtained from Georgia in
1867, produced from five pounds sown in
November one bushel, and that sown in
October, 1868, produced twenty one
bushels to the acre | sowed with the
Wheat some twenty bushels of cotton seed
to the acre. | sowed a bushel of White
Wheat, called ''White Mediterranean
or :'London Club Head Rough Chat,
which | had obtained by the pound from
the Patent Office ut Washington. in 1867.
| think it a fine wheat, but it is not so
early as the Georgia, but was freer from
rust than any wheat l had ever raised for
years. | sowed bushel of the Norway
Oats, but / did not like them as the Rust
Proof Dat; they had the rust and fell

The Empress orFrnnce i'm Turkey.

The day after her arrival at Constantine
pie, Engenie visited that nice old lady,
the Sultana Nalidch, mother of the Sui
tan. She is ledy now well advanced in
years; Circassian slave of his father.
Sultan Mahoud III, a present, or a pur-
chase, and, apparently, one of his favori-
ties; no doubt also, in her time. a beauty.
but now only fiat old lady" much re-
spected for her great benevolence and gen.
crosby to the poor. She lives with her
son in his palace, where is the Imperial
harem of some 500 Circassian beauties
When the Empress made her visit she
was accompanied by the Sultan and an
American lady as interpreters. The Sui
tan on approaching her, respectfully kis-
sed her hand, and then, putting it in that
of the Empress, paid the latter compli-
ment, which caused the old lady to en-
brace her as daughter. The curiosity
of the girls Of the Imperial harem to see
the Enpress of France was so great that,
Notwithstanding all the violent reproach-
es OF the sable 'fadledeens' in charge of
them, they hocked to the windows. threw
them up, and, perfectly disregardful of
their unveiled faces, thrust out their
heads, to the no small amusement and
perhaps dismay of the passers. Out of
respect for the religious prejudice of the
Empress, the Sultan only presented to
her IN the harem one of his wives-the
mother of his eldest son-and two dauph-
ters.
