What Is 1t?

Many, many people suffer from they
know not what. They are not sick-they
are not we'll. There is no name for II. II
issimply weakness-a breaking down Of the
vital forces. Whatever its causes, land they
are innumerablel its symptoms are in the
main the same. Among the most promi-
nent are extreme laSsitude, loss of appetite,
loss of flesh, and great mental depression.
Indigestion and stomach cough are also
frequently concomitants OF this distressing
state of body and OF mind. The common
remark in relation to persons in such a con-
dition is, that they are eonsumptive. Now,
what these unfortunates really want is
rtgor, rital strength; and, as certainly as
dawn succeeds darkness, they can recuper-
ate their systems and regain perfect health
by resorting TO Hostetters Celebrated Stom-
ach Bitters. 1t is as clear that life-reviv-
ing tonic is required in such cases, as that
the dying flame OF an empty lamprequires
to be revived with a new supply OF Oil.
Perfectly pure and innocuous, containing
nothing but the most genial vegetable ex-
tracts, and combining the three grand ele-
ments of a stomachic, an Alternative, and n
genial invigorant. Hostetters Bitters are
suitable to all constitutions, and are as ap-
plicable to the diseases and disabilities of
the feebler sex as TO those of men.

CABLE dispatches report that the
mobocrat in Paris have resolved to de-
stroy the beautiful column located IN
the center Of Place Vendome, in Paris.
They regard it as a symbol Of brute
force and false glory, and negation OF
fraternity. 1t was erected to commem-
crate the campaign Of 1905; it is Of the
Doric order, l35 feet in hight, with a
shaft - feet in diameter; it is built OF
stone, covered with bas-reliefs in bronze,
representing the French victories. The
bronze, was composed Of 1900 pieces of
cannon taken from the Russian and
Austrian armies. The metal weighed
100000 pounds and the bas-reliefs pur-
sue a spiral direction to the top, and
over two thousand figures are represent
ed. When it was first erected the col
umn was surmounted by a statue OF
Napoleon, which was removed in 1914
and melted down to form part Of the
horse of Henry w., now in Point Neuf.
During the restoration the tleur-de-lis
and flagstaff took the place Of the
statue. On the 18th Of July, 1888, the
present statue OF the Emperor, by
Seurre, was placed upon the column, in
the presence Of Louis Philippe aud the
royal family. The original cost Of this
most attractive work of art was upward
of a million and half francs. Moth
ing short Of insanity in the Commun
lists could induce the destruction of this
historical monument

A SUABIAN soldier Of unusual strength
had been slightly wounded in one Of the
skirmishes below Paris. He was or.
dered to the rear, and employed as a
carrier of the wounded from the battle
field to the hospitals. He usually took
awounded comrade on his back and
carried him to the hospital tent. One
day he found soldier, who otherwise
looked well, lying on his back on the
ground. What is the matter with
thee?" he asked him. :" am wound
ell in the ankle" answered the soldier,
land cannot walk" The Suabian gi-
ant gently took the wounded man upon
his shoulders and carried him off. Half
way to the hospital he heard the whist
ling of bombshell very near him. He
did not drop his burden, but just stoop-
ed little, and then continued his way.
When he came to the hospital he
placed the wounded man upon field
bed, when, to his great establishment, he
discovered that the mans head was
gone. "Why do you carry dead man
in hereg' asked the surgeon. Well,
sir, when l took him up the id liar
told me that he was only wounded in
his ankle, and now ! see his head is

There is nothing remarkable about
these weights. In fact, they are in
significant in comparison with the big
hogs we often read about. All that can
be claimed for them is, that they are
quiet and docile, are good graziers, fat
ten at an early age, and make the
choicest Of pork and hams with mini
mum of offal. AS things now are, they
are better for the consumers than for
the producers. | question if the
butchers will give me more than half a
cent per pound above the market price
for them, and yet they are well worth
three cents per pound more than ordi :
ary hogs. The lard is well grained and
remarkable forit whiteness and solidity,
and the choice parts OF the carcase are
fully developed, while there is compare
lively little bone, ears, sneut and legs.
The whole hog is practically solid meat.
The only objection | can see to these
fine-boned pigs is, that they are worth
more than we can get for them. But |
live in hopes of seeing the day when
the pork-packers will discriminate be-
tween good and poor hogs And in fact
they are now making more difference
than formerly. AS rule, what is good
tor consumers will in the end he good
for producers. And | believe that
Berkshire pigs are as well suited to the
circumstances OF Western farmers as
any other breed. But they must judge
for themselves. A Western breeder OF
Chester Whites accuses me Of putting
the Berkshires from interested motives
He does not know that do not breed
any Berkshires for sale. If his hogs
at year old will dress over 81 per cent,
| should be glad to know the fact"

AN election takes place to-day, in the

AN election takes place to-day, in the
District of Columbia, for a delegate in
Congress, and twenty-five members OF a
Territorial Legislature. Both parties
have full tickets in the field, and the
canvass has been unusually interesting.
The white men Of the District have a
majority of nearly six thousand over
the negroes, but from the fact that nearly
all the Government clerks have been
registered and instructed to vote the
Radical ticket, and from the further fact
that hundreds Of negro voters have been
"colonizei" from Maryland and Nir-
GINA, there is little probability Of Demo
cratic success. We will doubtless be
able to announce the result tomorrow
morning, as it will not take long to bring
in and count up the returns. MIR.

CHIPMaN is elected, the President will
appoint FRED DOUGLASS to the vacant
Secretaryship.

THE kU.kLUX.

The negroes Of the South are enjoy
ing a season of perfect immunity from
the consequences of crime. If they
have a grudge against one Of their own
number, they take him from his bed at
night; beat him until he is almost
dead; and then lay the blame on the
omnipresent Ku-Klux If they have a
quarrel with a white man, they murder
him, and the Ku-klux are accused OF
the crime. They have thus a conve'
nient refuge from punishment; the Ku,
Klux being made the scapegoat for all
the horrible crimes in the South 10y
whomsoever committed or from what,
ever motive. We have no doubt that
at least one-half Of the Southern out
rage" that have any foundation in
truth are destitute of any political sig
nifcance and are the work of negroes
or the result Of private quarrels.
We have not a word Of apology for
political assassination or for any de,
privation Of personal rights that may
be inspired by political animosity. We
are firmly convinced, however, that a
large portion of the Ku-Klux stories
that are being used to stir up a new
crusade against the South and to re
build the waning fortunes Of the Radi-
cal party, are either.pure fabricstions or
gross exaggerations and perversions OF
the truth. And for these systematic de-
trainers who are so persisteutly aud dis
gracefully laboring to kindle anew the
passions of the people, we have scarce
ly more respect than for the Ku-Klux
themselves. The demagogue who
strives, by false tales Of bloody outrage
and by constant defamation Of the peo-
pie of the South to delay the return of
peace, quiet and good order, in hope
that he may still have an opportunity
of stealing, is not one whit better
than the masked desperate who
assassinates his victim at night.
Those politicians who rack their feeble
brains to invent fresh stories Of Southern
crime and work themselves into fever
by long-winded speeches in Congress
upon the subject, are like incendiarles
who fire the store-house that they de-
sire to rob. If the Radical party had
nothing to gain from a continuance Of
strife and il[feeling between the North
and the South, the stories of crime in
the Southern States, the Congressional
Investigation committees and the dread
Ku.Klux, would vanish forever and be
heard of no more. But the interests
of the party demand the continuance
of war measures" General GRANT
thinks that the time for peace will not
come until after his second election;
aud hence. all the hullaballoo about
Southern crime.

We mentioned, some time ago, that
our friend r. S. CLARK. Esq, Of St.
Clairsville, Ohio, had been appointed
an Indian Agent. Well-he didn't go.
Under the new policy Of making these
appointments subject to the recon-
mendation OF the churches, the Secre'
tary of the Presbyterian Board OF For
eign Missions published notice calling
for nominations. The Presbytery OF
St. Clairsville, without solicitation by
Mr.. CLARK, unanimously recommended
him for appointment. In due time the
appointment was made; Mr.. CLARK S
commission received; his official bond
executed and approved; when the start
ling discovery was made in Washing
ton that Mr.. CLARK was Democrat.
That ended the matter; the nomination
was not sent to the Senate; the COM
mission was cancelled; and the Pres
byterian Church given to understand
that none but Radicals could be Indian
Agents, no matter how urgently their
appointment was desired by the church.

The presence OF Senator Nye at the
organization OF the Southern Pacific
railroad in New York and the distribu,
ton of the stock serves to explain, in
part, his intense zeal for his proscrip
tive course here. 1t has been remarked
that every Senator whose disinterested
zeal for public service leads him to sup
port the liberal policy of land grants
and Indian rings, and other Radical
schemes of that stripe, is most deter
mined in hostility to all measures Of
generosity to the South. Harlan, Pome
roy, Stewart, Cole, Osborn, Kellogg, and
other patriots of that character are the
most ardent proscriptionists, and yet
they never fail to be on the side Of every
proposition by which money may be
voted out OF the Treasury into the
pockets OF "loyal' rogues, whose trade
it is to shout Ku.Klux and "rebellion.

Butler Beaten Again.

General Butler experienced a severe
disappointment on Wednesday. 1t has
been known that he was intending to
fire a parting shot at Garrett Davis, in
the shape Of a personal explanation.
This morning, copies Of his intended
remarks were sent to the various even
ing papers in the country, in order that
they might be published as soon as de-
livered. But when he rose to explain,
Mr.. Beck, of Kentucky, objected, and
said that he should continue to object
till the Massachusetts member made a
suitable apology to Kentucky; so the
explanation will not be made.

A Curious Relic.

The laborers employed by Messrs
Lowe & Schellhouse, whilst excavating
for the bridge abutment upon the Nir-
ginia side Of the river, about three feet
below the surface, came upon lime
kiln, which no person now living knows
anything about. The Oldest inhabi-
tants Of our city have been questioned,
but they have no recollection of hearing
the first settlers even speak Of it, The
arch, floor, and shape OF the kiln are
all here and plainly traced, and in it are
several hundred bushels Of lime, some
of it even now white as snow, whilst
some is but half burnt The traces OF
the fire are plainly to be seen, and
quantities Of charcoal still lie about the
mouth ofthe kiln. By whom or when
it was put there is mystery. 1t is Ger,
tainly strange and singular curiosity.
1t is supposed the lime stone were pro-
cured short distance up the river,
near where Mr.. J. G. Lynns residence
now stands, and were taken to this spot
in a boat and there burned. The old
kiln is now on a level with the water in
the river, but before the dam was built
the water level was about six feet
lower.
In this same excavation was also
found the butt-end of a rifle barrel, OF
very large bore, which is now in the
Ne,cs office, where it can be seen by any
one so desiring. We remember that
when excavations were being made for
the dam abutment on that side of the
river, about one hundred and fifty yards
from this spot, an old camp kettle and
some iron cooking utensils were found
several feet below the surface -C,mber,

sad state OF Affairs I'm south Caro-

sad State OF Affairs I'm South Caro-
lima.
From a private letter from South Caro-
lima lady,
SUMTER DISTRICT, March I'll can
not forbear alluding to the evil which
the nresept tax system Of our State en-
tails upon land.holders. Thousands
are either on the brink Of ruin or are
barely able to provide their families with
the necessities of life My sons place
of 10000 acres, most OF which is a
swamp utterly incapable Of cultivation,
is now assessed at s. per acre,
and the tax this year amounted
to 1885. In old times it was
only IS. Ny, which brings Mr.. B.
in $3.50 per annum, is taxed nearly
$500 Another plantation, formerly
taxed So. 80, now has to pay $3.50, and
another pays over $500 in lieu Of 5000.
We would gladly sell these lands to
the State at the valuation put upon
them, but ale coolly told that the State
will not give over fifty cents per acre for
them, as that is all they are worth.
From the small sum remaining from
the sale of our house in -, about
$1,000, | have been obliged to draw
$500 to pay taxes. My husband has
been trying hard to collect small sums
owing him, to lessen if possible the bur
den Of taxation, but with small success.
All our friends and neighbors appear to
be in the same predicament. All are
leaving their old debts unpaid to pay
the outrageous taxes imposed upon them
by the State. South Carolina is in a
deplorable condition. Plantations I'M
occupied by their owners are taken pos
session of by negroes, and the houses
occupied by them. The latter pay no
rent, and will not leave when they are
hidden, and as they have no money
it is useless to attempt legal proceed
ings against them. Furthermore, they
will not work if they can helpit. Hun
dreds of planters say they will not again
pay the unjust taxes that are now ex-
torted from them. They even threaten
armed resistance unless some change
for the better takes place. The negroes
would have given US no trouble if they
had not been subjected to the evil in
fuence of theineendiary carpet-baggers,
who are fattening at the peoples ex,
pense. This is no overdrawn picture Of
our condition., and | think the people
of the North ought to know how much
we suffer. 1t costs more than the net
proceeds of crop at present prices to
run a plantation, and land has constant
" to be sold at sacrifice to meet the
taxes. When the land is all gone we
shall be cast penniless upon the world.
