Two MONSTER SHARKs.-Yesterday morn.
ng a psrty Of gentlemen procured the carcass OF
q dead horse, and, following it down the harbor
with the ebb tide, succeeded In capturing TWO
sharks Of enormous dimensions, just on Fort
Sumter. The monsters We're toWea Up TO North
Atlantic dock, ana we're. speedily hoisted upon
the wharf. The larger one measured twelve
feet and one inch from the tip Of his nose to tue
end Of his tail, and weighed five hundred ana
eighty pounds. The other measured eleven feet
four inches, and weighed five hundred and sixty
pounds. These are two OF the largest marine
monsters which have been captured lately. and
one OF them Is the largest that has been taken
here since the war. His mouth Is serratic CO.
yern, armed with several rows Of sharp saw teeth,
and the look from his eyes Is anything but inVl-
ting. he had about twenty pounds OF horse
nesh between his jaws, which added not little
to the beauty of bis appearance. These two indi.
vIduals, Just introduced to the City OF Charleston,
are said to belong to the common species OF
ground sharks.
The repors of their capture speedily drew
large crowd down to North Atlantic wharf to see
the Legiathans brought In. As the boat came up
e. the side of the ,ck with the sharks, towed one
on each side, the crowd naturally came to the
edge OF the wharf to look over. The old wharf
beat, and at length gave away with arumoling
crash. The crowd were latent upon the sharks,
and found themselves suddenly launched into tho
dock. ON most insecure and dangerous raft.
Men and women, boys and old men, all went
down, and for tune an iudescribabe confusion
prevailed. One individual fell In fearful proximi'
ty to the twelve foot shark. The Involuntary
ba,hers, however, speedily got on the wharf In
one way and another. and no one was damaged
in the slightest, beyond small pinch from the
tlmbers and o good ducking.

The Lancet, August 27th, 1870, says Of this pre-
paraton: SIT Is quite potent as Chloride OF Zinc
or Carbpuc Acid, aud Is at the same time non

may expect It to displace the antiseptics which
are at present In vogue"

The True Grounds of Confidence,

Whence comes that firm reliance that absolute
undonbting faith in the efficacy of Hostetter's Stom-
acl, Btters remedy for Indigestion bilious dis
orders, intermittent and remittept fevers which
VIGOROUSLY prevails in all parts Of the United States?
This confidence has been growing for twenty years.
and 1t is still extending. II is not the result of
credulty it has not been engendered by any human
device, but is the spontaneous and natural conse-
quence of experience. What people see daily going
on under their own eyes they cannot question. When
families in unhealthy districts that resort to this
wholesome vegetable tonic as a preventive, escape
periodical feyers, and their immediate neighbors,
who neglect that precaution. Frustrated by the
disease, how is il possible that the phenomenon
should be Without its lesson? In like Hammer when
it is seen that obstinate cases OF dyspepsia of liver
complaint, of constipation of nervous weakness and
of general debility, yield to the operation Of the
famous remedy how can even incredulity itself
withhold its endorsement Eye-witnesses of the
salutary effects Of the bitters are TO b. found in
every civilized settlement on this continent The
thousands upon hC usands who their restoration
to health and strength, or their preservation from
sickness TO its extraordinary medicinal properties
enthusiastic IN its praise. The multitudes
who recommend it in a neigh5Orly way to their
friends and acquaintances, well as those who
make public their estimate of its virtues. always
ready to state their for the faith that is in
them, They have all either felt or witnessed its
benheent operations.

Count Andrassy.

Twenty years ago Count Andrassy
lived in London in very straitened cir
cumstances He was Hungarian ex-
lie. having been sentenced to death, III
September, lS49, for participation IN
the Hungarian revolution. After the
surrender of Arthur Georgeyat Vilagos,
he had barely succeeded in escaping
across the Turkish frontier. His prop
erty in Hungary was contiscatedS and
when he reached Constatinople he had
to borrow money in order to pay for his
passage to England. There he made a
precarious living by giving lessons IN
French German and mathematics, and
he devoted his spare hours to writing
pamphlets on Hungarian affairs, IN
which he bitterly attacked the Austrian
government and stigmatized the En-
peror Francis Joseph as one of the
most blood-thirsty and cruel rulers oi
modern times. To-day Count Andras-
sy is Chancellor of the Austro-Hungar-
ian monarchy, the favorite and con-
fidential adviser of the monarch whom
he once so roundly abused, and the
successor of the most brilliant states
man that has conducted the foreign az

The Investment OF SAVINGS.

There are thousands Of persons throughout
the country who have from one hundred to
one or two thousand dollars saved up which
they do not wish to Use in active business, but
from which they desire to realize as large and
steady an income as possible Savings banks
are excellent for temporary convenience, but
they necessarily pay low rates OF interest (;
government bonds are safe beyond question,
but at pre- sent prices yield such a small income
that most investors Of moderate means prefer
something else.
Under these circumstances ttrSt-cldSS RAIL
road bonds are becoming fayorlte invest
ment among all classes. Many Of them are
practically as safe as government bonds, While
they Weld an income much larger than Five
Twenties. Mesars Jay Cooke x Co, the
eminent and conservative bankers who made
such grand success of the government loan
during the war, and have recently succeeded
in selling two hundred millions of the new u.

born in Morven, on the western coast

being initiated into the mysteries OF

he was finally recognized as THEN lead

For TIE PUBLIC GOoD.-In numer-
Gus localities in this County there are
Geological "curiosities" and pecuIiari-
ties well worthy Of scientific investiga-
ton. For example, the fossil deposits
in several coal banks and quarries,
some mineral springs, some deposits
Of very peculiar clay, &C., &C., &c,
We have given to Prof. Fox list Of
such Of these az we know of, and he
will examine them il lie can find time
during his expected stay Of several
weeks. But there are many other
such points or localities Of interest
which we didn't precisely know about
and hence we especially request
friends in all parts Of the County, who
may know % localities which seem to
them worthy Of special investigation,
To let US know something about them
where they are, Of what general ma
ture. de-, 50 that we may add them to
the list already handed to Prof Fox.
While we have scientific man among
IA. let Us get all the good we can from
him.

A COOP POINT. --Our friend, f.. w.
Starr, of Red Rock, was never known
to brag OH his good looks, and he prob
ably never will. But we can very en-
phatically say, in the blunt language
Of this Western country, that "aDy-
body who comes along and picks him
up for fool will drop him again,
mighty sudden" In his little speech
ut the Railroad meeting over in
Monroe last Saturday he made point
which, for its pith and effect under
the circumstances, we would defy any
orator of the schools to surpass. lie
was drawing II picture Of the old fogy
who is opposed to railroads. He de-
scribed the mans old log hut in the
woods, his smoky rooms. his ragged
and dirty children, his dirt and igno-
rance generally. After painting this
character for a few minutes, in plain
but effective words, he stopped, looked
around I'm serio-comic sort Of way,
and then slowly said, ~ have often
thought what n blessed thing il would
he If folly were confined altogether to
fools The effect was uumistakablc.
Everybody "saw the point" ut once ;
and the applause that followed was
enthusiastic and universal.
