"NoT VERY WELL."-A feeling of
vague bodily discomfort, which does not
amount to positive illness, and yet is in.
compatible with health, is often aptly
described by the phrase "Not very we'll. F."
This feeling usually arises from q def
cheney of the nervous power which is re-
quired to keep the vital machinery in
vigorous and healthful operation. Ner.
vous weakness has too frequently turned
out to be the prelude of some serious
malady, to admit of any doubt in the
matter. Inactivity Of the bodily func-
tions as surely begets their derangement
as cause preoedes effect.
It is, therefore, absolutely essential for
the preservation of health, perhaps of
life itself, that this warning should be
promptly needed. The case does not
admit of delay. Revitalize the system
at once and effectually with Hostetter's
Bitters-that peerless invigorant which,
by infusing new health and strength into
the system, protects it against disease
more surely than ever knight of old was
protected by armor Of proof against his
foe. s14t3

COLUMBIA, >. o., Sept. IA, 1871.
MIR. EDITOR: Ia your issue of Sunday
you make mention of tho fact that n
Malay rajah has the largest diamond in
the world-its weight being 465 carats.
Ii such is tho fact, it certainly is the
largest diamond known to exist. But
you compare it with the Kooh-i-noor, us
il the Kooh-i-noor diamond was the
largest known previous to the discovery
OF the one said to be owned by th.
Malay raiah. I know it is generally
thought that the Kooh-i.noor is the
largest diamond in existence. Such ia
not the fact. Besides the one you
mention as belonging to the rajah, there
are seven diamonds larger than the
kooh-i-noor, and they are as follows:
The Mettan, 376 carats; the Great
Mogul, 279 9.10 carats; the Russian, 1876
oarats; the Austrian, 1897 carats; the
Regent, 1861 carats; the Star of the
South, 125 oarats; the Sanci, LOG carats !;
the Kooh-i-noor. 1927 carats; the
Nassac, 1875 carAts; the Star Of Africa,
brought from Cape of Good Hope,
weighed 50 carats before cutting. and
only 461@ after. You will perceive that
comparatively speaking the Koch -i-noor
is small stone.
The reader may get some idea Of the
size OF the diamond you mentioned as
belonging to the rajah by comparison
as follows: The Kooh-i-noor diamond
before cutting, or i'll its irregular condi-
tion, was about as large as O pigeons
egg; after bringing it to shape by cut
ting, 1t left it about as large rs robins
egg. 1t will be seen that the one belong
ing to the 1ajuh is nearly four-and -a-half
times as large as the Kooh-i.noor. I
have mentioned the Nassac and the Star
OF Africa. as they are the only diamonds
of note next to the Koch -i-noor.

So many balloons came out of Paris
during the siege that those who received
their letters by this means began ut last
to look upon the mronaut as very safe
courier, and on his mrisl trip as one of
pleasure rather than of peril. Among
the balloons which escaped over the iron
girdlo Of Teutons was the Jacquart. It
was entrusted to the care Of sailor
named Leprince. Tearing through space
before gale of wind, the gallant young
tar and his new kind of craft were sight
ed at LaRochelle, just as the wind bore
him over the Atlantic. On the way he
must have met with an atmospheric cur
rent which drove him Eastward, for there
now have been found in the Sicily
Islands the dispatches carried by the
Jacquart. AS the sacks have not been
picked up in one and the Same plaoe, it
is supposed that when Leprinoe saw this
group of islands he gradually got rid Of
his dispatches, casting them overheard
whenever he saw land beneath him.
This must, of course, have considerably
lightened the balloon and consummated
his own destruction by Importing to it on
ascending force which waited him once
more over the terrible ocean. His sub
sequent fate remains mystery.

mine, during the current year, contains
anything about the sanitary condition OF
Charleston. The mental state Of the
gentleman signing himself DuBos is the
first intimation T have had that it was
bad. If the several merchants whose

HonR1DnE soRNH-BunN1sa OF HEARTS

HORRIBLE gSoBNH-BURNINa OF HEARTS
IN CoNNE0TICUT-ADsUn AND BRUTAL
SUPERsTITIoN.-The village OF Peacedale
was thrown into excitement on Thursday
last, by the report that two graves had
been dug up near Watson's Corner, on
the shore of the Saugatuck River. The
family of Mr.. William Rose, who reside
at Saunderstown, near the South Ferry,
arc subject to consumption, several
members Of the family having died Of
the disease, and one member of the
family is now quite low with it. At the
urgent request of the sick man, the
father, assisted by Charles Harrington,
OF North Kingston, repaired to the
bnrying ground, located ono mile North
OF Peaccdale, and, after building o fire,
first dug up the grave of his son, who
had been buried twelve years, for the
purpose Of tnking out his heart and liver,
which were to be placed in the fire and
consumed, in order to carry out the old
superstition that the consumptive dead
draw rourishmont from the living. But
as the body was entirely reduced to
ashes, except few bones, it was shortly
covered up, and the body of daughter
who had been dead seven years was
taken ont Of the grave beside her bro.
ther. This body was found to be nearly
wasted away, except the i. ..Al parts, tho
liver and heart, which were in perfect
state of preservation. The coffin was
nearly perfect. while the sons coffin was
nearly demolished. After the heart and
liver had been taken out, it was placed
in the fire and consumed, the ashes only
being put back in the grave. The fire
was then put out, and the two men de-
parted to their respective homes. Only
% few Spectators we're present to witness
the horrible crime. It seems that this
is not the first time that graves have
been dug up where consumption was
prevalent in the family, and the vital
parts burned, in order to save the living.
A few years ago, the same was done in
the village of Moorsfield, and also in the
town of North Kingston, both of course
without effect.
