To confirm public confidence in the Guanos
offered for sale by ME, it has always been my
desire to avail myself Of the best scientific abl-
ty in order to give the planter every possible
guarantee as to their standard. My store
houses in the city, as well as the Paci1c Guano
Woras at Rikersville, have ever been open for
inspection; and although the latter have been
under the personal supervision of Dr.. st. Ju-
lien Ravenel, yet with his entire approval our
stock has yearly been examined BY Professor
Shepard and his endorsements of their high
standard received. enclose herewith an ex-

burned out of house and homo to live the life

forces-which resistance, by the way was new

HUSBANDS LIABILITY FOR W1FE's
B1LLs.-An action was decided in Phila-
delphia, Wednesday, by Judge Thayer, in
favor Of husband who had been sued by
dry goods firm For the amount OF bill
run by his wife Defence set up that de-
lendant furnished his wife with an ample
supply of necessaries In the course Of
his charge, Thayer said: "It is a false and
foolish notion for traGes-pcople TO entertain
that husband is bound to pay all bills
contracted by his wife No such monstrous
doctrine is allowed in the law Trades
men must ascertain the facts and the true
relations of man and wife before allowing
the latter to run up bills which he is to be
looked to topay," Commenting upon this
exposition of law, which ought to De more
familiar than it is, the Philadelphia Re-
cord thinks that when trades-people come
to distinctly understand it "a very sensi-
BILE step will have been accomplished to-
wards reform in the wanton extravaganza
and ruinous folly which, under the mere
tricious impulse of the stupid despot call
ed fashion, so waste, the substance, mars
the manners. deforms the persons, de-
grades the morals and wrecks the happi-
ness of myriad households and individu-
ais, not only in this community, but

The Progress CT Despotism.

Exasperated at the hopelessness Of
securing a reelection by a fair ard
free expression of the will Of thepeo-
pie, the President has resolved upon
a bold and most wicked expedient to
accomplish the perpetuation of the
reigning dynasty. 1t is published,
upon the authority of Senator Poole,
that Grant has expressed his deter
mination to declare martial law
throughout the entire South, and
thus, by armed force and an organi-
zed system of terrorism, crush out
the last semblance of liberty which
yet remains to the unhappy people
of those States. The pretext for
this high handed and outrageous pro-
cedure-and every intelligent man
knows it is but a pretext of the finn
siest SORTS the prevalence of out.
RACES in that section, and the alleged
inability of the civil authorities to
enforce the laws. The real motive
is to continue the present oligarchy
in place and power, and prolong its
opportunity to plunder, oppress, and
harass the people. While we retain
the outward semblance Of republic,
-lfI1 m reality We are rapidly drifting.
or rather being driven-toward alb
solutism; and, at the rate at which
we are going, it is not at all unlikely
that ere long a similar state Of affairs
may be inaugurated in the North,
and our State Governments be super
seded by military satraps, sworn to
follow to the bloody end the fortunes
Of man who shows every indication
of a disposition to
"-wade through slaughter to throne.
And shut the gates of mercy on man

How A DYING GIRL MARRIED AN

How A DYING GIRL MARRIED AN
EDIroR.-It is a doctrine Of the
Mormon Church that no woman can
get to heaven without the aid OF a
man, except in very special cases.
To be married and a mother in Israel
is eternal salvation in heaven for,
the saintess. Without this, in the
other world, the deceased saintess
must serve as kitchen girl or wait
ing-mai,l to some resurrected mother
in Israel. This strange doctrine is
thoroughly believed by the Mormon
women, and hence their eagerness to
be married, either in or out of poly
gamy. A case illustrating this has
come to our knowledge. A beautiful
young girl of seventeen was on hel
deathbed, and being unmarried she
requested chat a certain well-knowr
editor should be sent for, to whom
she wished to be seated" and thus
gain eternal glory in the Kingdom o.
God. The elders complied with hel
wish, the editor reached. the death.
bed, and there, in the presence o
witnesses, the living and the dying
were united in the holy bonds o
matrinony. The editor was already
married man, but his religion made
him take the dyinggirl to wife. In
! stances of this kind are not rare

Mixed LiauOrS.

1t is common for old topers who
sometimes "get off their pins" to
excuse themse Ives by saying Hang
it, Id been all right if I hadn't mix
ed my liquors" An incident Of this
kind occurred on st. Charles street a
few days ago.
An acquaintance of this reporter
was seen heading for one Of the
popular saloons on that popular
thoroughfare, and was observed to
require more sea room than was his
custom, when friend stopped him
with the inquiry
Hallow, Joe, what's the matter ?
Blame mo if you amt tight as

To this Joe replied with some eff
fort, IL believe-bic-I am-hic-a
little tight, and it all comes from
mixing liquors.
"How many drinks have you ia
ken ?" suggested the interlocutor.
"Not many" said Joe, +" but I
didn'y stick to one drink. Let me
see if can count EN-. First; 1 took
