BULLS WORM DESTROYER.
To My United States and Rorld-Ss0s
Readers.

HAVE received many testimonials from
professional and medical men, as my al.
manacs and various publications have
lhown, all of which are genuine. The fol.
sowing letter from highly educated and
popular physician in Georgia Ii certainly
one OF the most sensible communications
have ever received. DR.. Clement knows
exactly what he speaks Of. and his testi
mony deserves to be written IN letters OF
old. Hear what the Doctor says .

MISCELLANEOUS.
Newspaper Patronage.

There seem. to be CREST many different
ways Of defining and understanding the phrase
newspaper patronage" and as party inter
cstcd in correct definition Of the same, we
give the following dsquisition on the subject
by one who knows whereof he sposks. 1t may
serve, perhaps, as mirror, in which certain
parties may be sbletO "see themselves ss 9TH
ers see them"
Many long and dreary years In the publish
that newspaper patronage is a word Of many
definitions, and that great majority Of mnn-
kind are either ignorant Of the correct defni-
ton or are dishonest in q strict biblical sense
of the word Newspaper patronage has as
many colors as the rainbow, and is as change
able as a chameleon.
One man come. in, subscribe. for paper
pay. for It in advance, and goes home and
reads It with proud satisfaction that II Is his
He hands in his advertisement, and he reaps
the advantage thereof This is patronage
/ Another man asks you TO send him the pa
per, and goes off without saying word about
( the pay. Time rassc, on YOU are in need OF
money and ask him to pay the sum he owes
Won. He flies into passion, perhaps pays,
perhaps not, and orders his psper stopped.-
/ This is called patronage.
One man brings in a fifty cent advertisement
and wants two dollar puff thrown in and
when YOU decline, he goes of mad. Even this
is called patronage.
Another man don't take your paper. 1t Is
too high priced but he borrows and reads ii
regularly. and that could be called newspaper
patronage.
One man likes your paper; hetakes copy
pays for it, and gets his friends to do the same
he is not always grumbing TO you or others
but has friendly word If snsccident occurs
in his section be informs the editor. This if
newspaper patronage.
One hands You msrriage, or other notice
and asks for extra copies containingit; and
when YOU ask him to pay for the papers, h'
looks surprised; Yes surely don't take pay
for such small mattersY" "This is called
newspaper patronage.
One Otis good to see SUCH comes in and
SAYS: "The year for which | paid is about tC
expire. want to pay for another" lie docs
so and retires. This is newspaper patronage
It will be seen by the above that while GER
tain kinds Of patronage are the very life Of th'
newspaper there are other kinds more fatal t
its health aud circulation than the coils OF
boa-constrictor are to the lucklcss prey he pa
trOuzes

4 Noble BenefaCtiOn.

The Trustees Of the Louisville Medical Col
lcce. louisville, KY have created one Of the
most liberal and noble benciactions ever con-
fcrcd by public institution upon any people.
The trustees Of this college have instituted one
beneficiary Scholarship for each Congressional
District in the Southern and surrounding
States By this means very many poor but
deserving Young men will be enabled to obtain
a thorough medical education. Any young
man wishing to take advantage Of this bcne-
faction has ouly to write to the Representa-
tive of the Congressional District in which be
resides. or to the President Of the Medical So
ciety Of his State, or to DR.. L. 5. Gaillaird,
Dean Of the Faculty Of the Louisville Medical
College. Louisville, Ky, when he will receive
full information Of all that it Is necessary for
him to DO TO secure one Of these scholarships.
With proper and welcome delicacy the names
Of these who have secured the Beneficiary
Scholarships will be known only to the Dean
of the Faculty. It is unnecessary to COM
mend those who have established these noble
Beneficiary Scholarships Their act will brirg
them commentators wherever it is known.

our Free Schools.

Take, a-c sure to be levied and collected,
bu. our Schools are very unccrtIin, and the
teachers pay, more so, at lelst such Is the
complaint. Why is this2 What is done
with the money! The County Superintoud-
ant i. competent TO answer II his auNiliary,s
are incompetent or untrustwor;hy, then tho
law ought to be 30 amended as TO give him
or the tax payers wider field to select from.
The scholastic year has rolled around, and
many claims for teachers salaries, rents, &c,
are vet unpaid for the past year. The Town
ship Trca.urcrs say they have heard nothing
from the State fund, which was distributed
several months before this last year. Some
ofthe Townships are without Trustees.
We hope those who have charge OF the
schools and fnlnces will look into these mat
ters, for nothing is more CALLING to a people
than taxation without representation or sat-
isiactory return.

Art Of Being Happy.

The art of being happy lies in the power Of
extracting happiness from common things =
If we pitch our expectations high, If We are
arrogant in our pretensions, if we will not be

Carpet-Bag & Rulers.

We hare never said anything says the
Lynchburg Virginian,) about the carpet-bag
gentry more pointed or severe than the follow
ing. taken from the New York Sua, Repub
lican Journal, edited by Charles a. Dana, for
rne,ly Of the Tribune and more recently as
sistant Secretary Of War under Stanton
That paper gays that "the overwhelming de-
feat Of General Grants Administration in
North Carolina foreshadows its downfall IN all
the former sayeholding States. The fruits OF
the carpet-bag reign of the last five years are
what might have been expected. The world
may be searched in vain for governments 20
immoral. so shamelessly corrupt, 20 hopeless
ly rotten. as those no" prevailing IN the
South. Politically they may bs changed !;
but this cannot cure one Of the sorest evils al
ready inflicted. These scamps have run the
States they rule ruinously into debt. The
Legislatures controlled by them have pledged
the States to the discharge Of pecuniary ooll-
cations of crushing weight, TO the future re-
demption of an enormous amount OF bonds,
and to the imposition of onerous taxes through
series OF years. This has been done in fnrth-
ance Of all sorts of schemes whereby the au-
thors reap present wealth and anticipate larg-
or gains in the immediate future. These bur
dens have already seriously embarrassed all Of
these States, and well nigh bankruptsl somc
Of them: and to say, them from ruin, the
rcign,of the carTct-bag robbers must be speed
ily brought to an end. There would seem to
be no good reason why the honest men IN
these sorely punderet States should not band
together, irrespective of past political differ
ences, and wrest them out Of the hands OF the
thieves that despoil them. All the tissues
which made their advent even possibility
have been settled. Let the better class Of old
citizens accept the situation in good faith, and
assure the negroes that there il no disposition t.
deprive them Of their newborn privileges, and
there will be an uprising Of the people that
will drive out these ravencus villains, and re-
store to the States what they have not haC
since they plunged into rebellion nine year
ago, stable, thrifty, respectable governments.
