ns- Tbe Cincinnatl ENQUIRER estimate


@- The Cincinnati Enquirer estimates
that in each of the two thousand town
ships a Ohio at least ten Republicans
will vote for Greeley who recently voted
for the Grant candidate for secretary OF
State. This alone would make relative
difference of forty thousand votes, and
emitting the increased vote which it is
believed can be brought out by the ear
nest personal exertions of Pendleton,
Morgan, Thurman, Ewing, Hassaurek,
aud others, would insure the State in
November, if the estimates be even ap-
proximately correct.
@ James Davis, young man, while
under the influence of liquor at Balbor's
Shore, few miles from Memphis, on
the 18th inst, recklessly fourished a
navy revolver, threatening to Kill eve
rybody, and on being demonstrated with
by those standing near, he deliberately
placed the muzzle to his breast, fired,
and then fell dead, the ball passing
through his heart.
@- According to the character or ex-
tent Of your business, set aside liberal
percentage for your advertising. Keep
yourself increasingly before the public,
and it matters not what business utility
you may DC engaged in, for if intelli-
gently and industriously pursued, for
tune will be the result. 7o ~

The Warning has been Needed.

Since the exposure of the attempts
made by certain unscrupulous local deal
ers, to palm off their coarse astringents,
made from cheap and impure materials,
in the place of the great national tonic,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, public opin-
ion has set strongly against these en-
pirics and their preparations. Their oc-
cupation is gone, or soon will be. When
the light is let into deception i6 soon
willis down. Persons who trifle with
their own health, by using unknown pre-
parations, with no guarantee to sustain
them, when an established specific,
proven by twenty years experience to
be exactly what it is claimed to be, is
within their reach, are sure to repent
their temerity. Many have done SO in
this instance, but it is hoped that the
truth plainly spoken has arrested the
evil. In the meantime the demand for the
leading protective medicine Of America
was never so great as it has been this sea-
son. From the fever and ague districts
of the west, south west, and south, it is
literally overwhelming, and it may be
said OF the advices from all parts OF the
cures it is etfecting in dyspepsia, bilious
complaints, and chronic constipation,
that their name is legion" Every
where the sick and feeble seem to have
realized the Importance of holding fast
that which is good" and OF avoiding
what is spurious and dangerous" -.
The numerous Bitters," under vari-
GUS names, which mercenary dealers en-
deavor to substitute for Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, should he avoided, for their
own sakes, by the sick and public at
large. Hostetter's Bitters are procurable
in bottles only, and never solc in bulk.

GAME LAWS FOR SOUTH CAROLINA
A club Of prominent gentlemen at Charles
ton, S. c., has organized for the protection
of game, and to procure the enactment Of
iudIcious game laws for that State While
we rejoice to see that a love of manly
sport has not been entirely crushed out
but still shoulders beneath the ruins of
that down. -trodden community, we fear
the efforts of this society are doomed to
disappointment Where the negroes are
the dominant race, it cannot be expected.
Cuff is born hunter, and when IN
slavery, the severest labor in rice or corn
field, from sunrise to dark, would not pre-

| his neighbours hogs and poultry. Nov
that wider field IS open to him, and that
gun is to be- found in every cabin, it is
idle to suppose he will obey any law ol

ton Of game. 80 = =

RURAL BEAUTIES AND CITY BELLEs.-
Country girls are not whit behind their
metropolitan sisters in the natural ele-
ments of loveliness, but it must be con.
ceded that the city bellies best understand
the art of preserving and heightening
their personal beauty. The most perfect
features lose half their attraction unless
tile complexion is properly cared for,
and if the pretty girls of the rural dis
tricts wish to compete with the Fair,
stars" of the fashionable world in refined
attractions, they must pay due attention
to this important point. They ought to
know, for the fact is notorious, that Il 4,
CANS MAGNOLIA BALM imparts to the
skin delicate, pearly appearance, un-
produceable by any other preparation
under the sun. No matter how the cuti-
Gle may have been roughened by expo
sure OF discolored by the sun, the Balm
will render it soft and pliable, and re-
moves every blemish.

A Wite,a Stratagem.

We were informed and so published q
few days ago, that Martin Baynard was
hanged at Hendersonville on the 18th, fol
the murder of Silas Weston and three ol
his children. The publication was prema-
ture We have positive information that
Baynard escaped on the day set apart fol
his execution. Baynards wife had been
permitted to visit her husband during his
Imprisonment. She was granted the privi-
lege of remaining with him during the
night of the 18th. The jailer visited the
cell about sunrise, and Baynard dressed
up in the clothes Of his wife, with hand
kerchief to his face and sobbing as if his
heart would break, passed out and made
his escape.
Some two hours or more after this oc-
currence, the jailer carried Baynard his
breakfast and discovered that the occu-
pant OF the cell was-Nlrs Baynard. She
had on her night clothing
The Sheriff raised hue and cry and
started in pursuit, but to latest accounts
the condemned has not been seen or heard
of. How true the old saying -"There's
many slip between the cup and the lip. u
Baynard's wife clung to him from the
time he was arrested, and row enjoys the
satisfaction Of saving him from an igno-
minlous death.
There were five thousand people in Hen
dersonville to witness the hanging. Great
was their CONSERVATION when they learned
that the bird had flown.

A Love Story of Lexington County.

The Augusta Cbpstitutionalist of Thurs
day says:
Monday afternoon the Police authori-
ties received dispatch from A. E. Kent
at Summit Point, Lexington County,
South Carolina, stating that Dr.. A. Taylor
had committed breach of trust at that
place; that he would reach Augusta by
the train on the Charlotte, Columbia and
Augusta Railroad, due at 2 o'clock, and
requesting that he be arrested immediate
ly upon his arrival In compliance with
the request, Taylor was arrested when the
train came in, and detained to await the
arrival of Kent, who had also stated in
his dispatch that he wouldfollow on after
Taylor and reach Augusta Tuesday even
ing. Taylor had in his possession when
arrested two guns, both heavily. charged
loaded revolver, and large sum ol
money in currency and silver coin. His
story is that some time since he was en-
gagged to young lady at Mount Summit
for whom he was also guardian. Every
thing went as merry as q marriage bell
and nothing disturbed the course Of true
love until q Northern man named A. E
Kent made his appearance and set up o
store in the place where lived the afianced
pair. Kent Immediately laid siege to the
heart of the young lady, and finally sue
ceeded in winning her affections and in
ducing her to break off her engagement
with Taylor. He then-according to
Taylor's statement-madc demand upon
the rejected lover for the property which
the latter held as guardian for the young
lady. Taylor refused to cvmply with the
demand, and, discovering that measures
were being taken for his arrest. he left for
Augusta, taking with him the morey
mentioned above. This money, Taylor
states, belongs to the young lady, anG is
held by him as her guardian. He says
that should he give it up to Kent, be
would, by law, be responsible to his ward
for it, and that he left Carolina in order
to prevent Kents taking it from him by

quantities of the Spanish lace used this
summer VIII be found among the new impor-
Portatlohs. This lace is not made in Spain,
Dut IN france, and is an imitation OF the
heaVily inquired Spanish blonde. 1t will be
useu lor wells, also Tor trimming silks and
cashmere. The colored wooden guipures used
for trimming summer dresses are beino mann
featured in heavier designs and in the new
shades for trimming, suits of the woolen

point duchesse is considered passee. and
Valenciennes remains the standard lace.
No radical change will be made in ladies'
dresses during the coming winter. The trial
has been made and has failed, and there is no
likelihood that a second attempt will soon be
essayed. For six months, at least, the double
skirt will be worn, with the under-skirt long
or short, according to circumstances. Polo
naises and Over-skirts appear to too good adj
vantage by the side of single skirts, and are
too well adapted to tasteful combinations Of
materials and colOrs, to be easily abandoned: !:
for they appear in all the dresses that are be-
ing made for the autumn and winter, with
short skirts for the street, and trains for dim
ners and evenings.
And as harmony is essential in the toilette,
as long as dresses are pulled and trimmed, it
Is impossible that bonnets should be low and
coiifures plain. The hair will continue to be
drawn back from the face and massed on the
top of the head in volume more apparent
than real, since the tresses are wound over
light crepes.
