Pernicieus Pursatives.

The brilliant idea Of half . century age, that
the weak and aillng could b blsd. blistered
and salivated into q condition Of health and
yigor, Is happily exploded, but violent and pro.
longed purgation 10 still, TO some extent, In
vogue. We have impostors who are daring
enouge to offer to the world, - tonics and re-
modified by . single stimulating, soothing or
restorative element. Compare the operation Of
one OF these terrible nostrums with that OF
Hostetter's Stomach BItters, IN which are com
bined the three great curative elements-a
tonic, an alternative and an aperient. The for.
that nature can make no resistance to disease /;
tho latter ~sustAins the strength OF the patient,
while II restores the suspended functions OF the
secretory organs and relieves the bowels with
ont violence or pain. II IL simply q choice be-
tween restoration and prosiratiOn.

A CAREER OF VILLANY.-Jack Henderson
alias Tom Williams, one Of the prisoners al
the Charleston Jail, under indictment for rape
closed bis checkered career yesterday morl-
ing in his cell. The early misdeeds of Jack,
who seems to have been about nineteen years
of age, are not chronicled, and his first ap'
pearance In public was on the 4th of August,
1869, when he was committed to the Charles.
ton Jail for an assault and battery, with intent
to kill, upon an officer. He was tried at the
November term following, and having been
found guilty, was sentenced to six months
Imprisonment In the jail. He here
served out his sentence and was re.
leased. He went home, land an hour afterward
was arrested for an assault with intent to
kill upon his own mother. He was again re-
committed, and having been tried at the June
term following was sent back to Jail for one
years Imprisonment. Jack never. see med
contented unless there were iron bars be-
tween him and liberty, and his perfect reslg-
nation and exemplary behavior had such an
effect upon the keeper that Jack was promo.
ted to the responsible position of turnkey over
his brother prisoners. While acting In this
capacity, the celebrated Grimes, OF Bowen
murder notoriety, was brought to the prison,
and into frequent contact with Jack. The
latter, with his natural love for ylllany, soon
allowed Grimes to walk out Of the prison door,
for which transaction he Is said to have
received three hundred dollars from the
friends of Grimes. With the fear Of the con-
sequences before him, Jack walked off alec,
but was captured three days after and return
ed to his prison, where he served out the re-
mainder OF his sentence. Once more free
man, Jack turned his back upon the scene OF
his troubles and went into the country to en-
tighten the natives. Three days after his re-
lease, rumors of crimes came up from the
country, and the verltable Jack, under the
pseudonym of Tom Williams, was arrested and
almost lynched by the natives for an atrocious
rape upon colored woman on St. James
Sautee. After examination, Jack found him.
self once more In his prison, with aEarr- praa-
pect of change to the penitentiary at the
present term OF the court. He was
well and in good spirits on Monday evening,
but was afterwards taken Ill, and died sud-
denly yesterday. A jury of inquest was en-
panelled yesterday morning to'investigate the
cause of his death, but owing to the want o.
evidence, adjourned over until this morning.
Jack ls the second prisoner under indictment
for rape who died suddenly within week al
the Jail.
