I. THE PEOPLES STAMP OF VALUE
The Government endorsement, which
legalizes the sale of PLANTATION BIT
TIERS, is not the only stamp affixed to
that famous VEGETABLE Tonic. It
bears, in addition to that official sanction,
the STILL MORE VALUABLE STAMP OF
INCORPORATION. This inestimable
voucher of its rare properties as Tonic,
CORRECTIVE and ALTERNATIVE, is of
much earlier date than the Government
credential; for millions Of sick persons
had pronounced it the GRAND SPECIFIC
OF THE AGE long before Congress thought
Of taxing proprietary medicines. 1t is
unnecessary to repeat, in detail, the
properties of this wonderful Vegetable
Inyigorarit. The best reference that can
be offered to- those. who desire the full
particulars of its virtues. is the GENERAL
PUBLIC. Ask those who have tried it as
"a remedy for dyspepsia, constipation,
Biliousness, intermittent fevers, nervous
debility, rheumatism, sea sickness. low

tation Bitters has done for them, and be

THE VILLAGE CHURCHILL should
not look like a barn or storehouse. 1t
should be building, the very sight of
which would cause devout feelings IN
the breast A well-carved cross should
point to heaven; massive paneled doors
should impress the visitor with the
solerhnity Of the place into which he is
entering; stained glass should throw a
mystic light athwart the, aisles; pulpit,
altar, ceiling and galleries should be Or
namented with fgurative mouldings,
and the columns that support the galle-
rios, and the balusters that rail them in,
should be of classic patterns. Any con-
gregation wishing such a church should
send their orders for finishing material

Price, s4,OO Per Saw.

THESE GINS were sold the past sea-
i son for the first time. They are
made under Mr.. Gullett's personal su-
pervision, who never allows one to be
sent from his works until it has been
fully tested, and made to gin perfectly in
every respect. This mode Of testing is
very important to the purchaser, as he
does not run the risk of receiving and
setting up Gin to find it, on trial, to be
imperfect.
The IMPROVED GIN differs materi-
ally from the Steel Brush Gin formerly
sold by us, inasmuch as the Steel Brush
has three brushes, whilo theriew Gin has
but one.
We guarantee every, Gin TO be Of very
light draft, to thoroughly clean the seed,
and make superior sample: Besides,
it is simple in. its construction, easily adj
justed and gins very fast.
We respectfully refer to all those who
have used the Improved Gin the past
winter.
Planters wishing Gins will consult
their own interests, by either writing to
us for our Circular with Certificates, or
calling at our Office and examining for
themselves before purchasing elsewhere.

Grants Indignity to the COlOred
People.
PHILADELPHIA, June S.

Everybody can appreciate Senator Sum-
.er's indignation at President Grants
shabby treatment Of Mr.. Fred. Douglas
lcoiored), in declining to invite him TO
dinner along with the San Domingo Com
missioners. Having used Douglas to cur
ry favor with his race, then to treat,h him
ike a dog, was, with Grants pretensions
as the guardian and champion OF the OF
pressed, four-told worse than the act o.
me rebel steamboat captain, who refused
douglas admission to his dining-saloon
was an Executive endorsement OF that
,eoellious captain, and merits the intensesi
eprobation Of every phllanthropist.
Mr.. Sumner says thatthis outrage pain
ed HIM more than the nepotism, and the
,ifts-bearing Greeks, and the Presidential
.nfractions Of law and Constitution. The
Presidents organ feels that this is the
most serious allegation in Mr.. Summers
peech, and deyotes special article to it.
fhe organ does not deny the indignl-
", but Douglas, it says, never complain
d of it, and therefore it was very indell,
ate in Mr. Sumner to allude to it.
l. appears that the colored people were
not generally aware of it, and since Mr..
Summers speech delegation has waited
on him to know if bis statement was true.
lie assured them it was, whereupon they
etired, in mood to be imagined, but not
described.
1t is also reported that some of the col
ored delegates to the Philadelphia Con-
yention have called on Mr.. Sumner to
consult with him as to the line of conduct
they must pursue. He advised them
by all means to have civil rights plank
in the Philadelphia platform, andno doubt,
in,the excess Of his charity, he supplied
them with the petard exactly adapted to
the emergency.
o,arrel between Grant and Sumner in as
great duandary as Colonel Forney: They
| Goth adore Grant as the dispenser OF office;
but the colored people worship Sumner as
a divinity. For them to vote fora man
