A. Chapter OF Facts.

Space is valuable 10 a newspaper, and 1t is
therefore proposed in this advertisement to con-
dense variety of facts, important TO the public,
into q snall compass. Those facts refer 70 Hos
teter's Stomach Bit.ers-what that celebrated
medicine is, and what II will do. In the first
place, then, the article is stimulant, tonic and
alternative, consisting Of combination Of su alb
solutely pure spirituous agent With the most valu-
able medicinal vegetable substances that Botanic
research has placed at the disposal of the chemist
and the ply ysiciau. These ingredients are COM
pounded with great care, and 10 such proportions
as TO produce preparation which invigorntes
without exciting the general system, and tones,
regulates and controls the stomach, the bowels,
the liver, and the minor secretive organs.
What this great restorative will do must be
gathered from what it has done. The case Of dys
pepsia, or any other form ofindiGes,ion, in which
it has been persistently administered without ef.
feelings radical cure, Is yet to be heard from,
and the same may be said Of bilious disorders, in.
teruitient fever, nervous affections, general de-
bility, constipation, sick headache, mental disa-
bii,ies TO which the feeble are so subject. II
puriass all the fluids of the body, including The
blood, and the gentle stimulus which It timparu
10 the nervous System is not suoccedsd By tie
slightest resctiou. This Is . chapter Of faets
Which readers, for their own sakes, should mark
and remember.

safe here. in life, liberty, and property
as he would be in Boston, and probably
safer. The productive capacity Of South
Carolina warrants. with careful culture,

they call them, sell. for from 81 to $40

AMATEUR CONCERT:

The estimable and popular Mrs.
GREEN, assisted by some of her pupils,
gave concert recently which did credit
to her and to them. We would not feel
justified in mentioning the names of the
fair performers, but will venture to say
that the vocal and instrumental music
were Of au uucommonly high order The
audience, though small, (much smaller
than it ought to have been) was highly
discriminating, and showed their ad-
miration by frequent and hearty ap-
plause Many of the pieces were encored
The Conquered Banner" was received
with an enthusiasm that reminded US of
the days Of Dixie"

THE RABBIN1CAL CONFERENCE.

Awell informed Israelite Of our town,
warns us not to attach any Importance
to the handful Of Radical Rabbins who
recently met at Porkopolis. He tells us
that only two Clergymen of any talent

treme radical wing of modern Judaism,
Of which DR.. WISE, of Cincinnati, is
the acknowledged leader. They ack-
nowledge neither Past nor Future, aud

1t is similar fact that the ablest and
most influential journals now published in
Italy are either edited or controlled by
Jews. In Rome the liberal journal most
read is edited by a Jew. They demand

great intelligence and perfect freedom.

A SUPPLY OF CoRsETs.-"In 1870, it is
stated, there were ten million dozen corsets,
or one hundred and twenty million pair,
imported into the United states-a quantity
it is calculated, sufficient to supply three
pair to every adult female in the country.
In addition, the annual domestic product
of sewed corsets amounted to one million
five hundred thousand pairs, manufactured
by about twelve establishments. Near
Strasbourg, a city in Germany, there are
fifteen hundred hand-looms employed IN
weaving corsets for the consumption in the
United States. One man as a weaver and
two women as finishers are required for
each loom, which produces three corsets
daily. The sale of corsets, it is estimated,
increases five per cent every year. Corsets
for males are also made, and about two hun
dred dozen of this article of masculine
apparel are imported into the United States
every year," Very good. And, now, will
somebody be kind enough to inform us how
many corset, laces are made and used a year,
and how many miles they would make if
stretched out in one line ?-and who wear
the male corsets?

OF all tho woodland flowers Of earlier
Spring,
These golden jasmines, each an air-hung
bower
Meet for the Queen of Fairies tiring hour,
Seem loveliest, and most fair in blossom
ing =
How yonder mock-bird thrills his fervid
wing
And long, 1.-THE throat, where twinkling
flower on flower
Rains the globed dew-drops down, dia-
mond shower,
Der his brown head, poised as in act to
sing =
Lo ! the swift sunshine floods the flowery
urns,
Girding their delicate gold with matchless
light,
Till the blent life OF bough, leaf, blossom,
burns;
Then, then outbursts the mock-bird clear
and loud,
with perfume, yelled by radi-
ance bright
A star of music in fiery cloud
