For Dyspepsia and Neuralgia Case. =
For four years past l have had the Dyspep-
sia very bad, vomiting up my food nearly
every meal, with much pain and distress in
my stomach, and could get very little
sleep nights. l also had distressing at
taoks OF Sick Headache two or three times
a week, which at the time made it impossi-
bic for me to attend to my business. l
was induced to try your King of the Blood.
The pains in my stomache were entirely re
lieved, vomiting ceased, have had no at
tack Of headache since I commenced taking
the medicine, and sleep well nights, my
bowels are now regular, having been cos
tive before. l have now taken two bot
ties, and my health appears to be fully re-
stored. l desire to add that my wife was
very much troubled with Salt Rheum,
which the King of the Blood has effectual-
ly cured. BENJAMIN c. ThoMPsoN.

Signs OF the Times.

We find the following gambling item in
the New York Spirit OF the Times of the
18th inst. The information derived, we
suppose, is Of importance to professional
gam blcrs:
c. c. L., Washington C. H, Ohio,-1. A.
and B are throwing railroad dice tor the
drinks-three aces to count 100, three
trays to count so and three duces to count
6U. B throws 100 and beats a for the drinks;
and then B throws again and offers to bet
$40 that there were three aces under the
box. A takes the bet and we agree to
leave it to you to decide; but before the
bet is made, 4 asked B If it was to be ia r
and square bet. B said it was; and then B
takes up the box and there is only one dice
up and then A claimed he had won the
bet, and B says he won it. B takes the
other two dice and turned them, aces up.
2. How many times has 1881 been beat
en- in race of mile heats, 2 and 3, 3 and 5,
or single dash? Answer. A wins
Money can never be won on such catches
as the one adopted by B. 2. Five times
| once each by Alarm, Fadladeon and Salina
and twice by Thornhill in California.

be able 70 note the TACT that its value sbeing felt

but nevertheless the "WKsLKTAN" has had its full

never so aouriShing In our own midst the char
ncer Of the Institution is Superior to all Others in
the State, but yet it has never been as fully aPpre
ciatsd and patroniEed As it should have been. Its
advantages have not been properly understood or
this would not have been the case, since its char

Our District schools.

A great many of our best citizens have feared
that the passage of the Civil Rights bill would
rsduCs our public schools to too common lSVel
BY requiring the admission Of negroes to the
schools with white pupils.
Owing 10 the peculiar construction OF the Law
under which our District School system is organ
iSsd and managed, We do not think the schools
ever be subject TO either Summers or Buffers
Civil Rights bill.
UndeT our State election laws negroes have no
right 70 vote at school elections. They cannot be
made to pay school tar, aud are not therefore
school voters. Their property cannot be assessed
for school purposes In the school districts, and
therefore they cannot be numbered among those
who meet to Vste for "a tAA" or for "no tax" OF
vote on the question OF how much money the dis
tEiCt will raise by tax upon property for school
purposes
Onr district schools are not free schools they
are not supported by the State from the common
iabOF OF the people they are the result Of COOP
GRAFTON on the part OF the people Of each school
dIstTlci Annually on the frat Saturday in April
the school voters, white mem meet, aud deter.
mine whether they will have a school daring ID .
-ueceeding year ia the district. Whether there !
opposition or not vote by ballot is required TO
determine whether the school shall be opened or
mol. The amount OF money to bs raised by tax Is
alsO determined by vote OF those present II
the majority vote tOF " taE," the school is not
opened il the majority is for tax, the school
may bs opened, and is kept open as long a. the
amount agreed upon will pay the expenses neeoS.
saFy. II there Is no money raised and no school
opened the district is not entitled 70 any Eropor-
tiOn OF the "SchoOl fund" from the Stale, and
this 10 ALL
Abe SchsOl law enables the people in each
school district 70 assess and collect such tax a.
they may Ok upon oG their oWn property for the
purpose Of providing a school for their children,
bat they are satirsly free to chose whether they
will have . school or not
Now, in case Civil Rights bill should force The
negro into these cooperative schools thus formed
{ hgpsighbOrS, Il Is Oaly necessary to vote " no
tAx," and aterWard rent the school house from the
committee and collect the means for "seIsct'' Of
"phVate" school to which all the Whito chlldrsu
would 60, by paying about as much a. they would
have been required had an assessment been made
Thus II aPFsars that our system will at loas
ave oar PeOPlo from any great loss should II,
negroes be fOIcSd into the district schoOls Whiel
We do not bsliSve can be done. In our own city
where the law has bean somewhat changed by
uniting the districts, the case will Be different
AltAoAsh The nAgTOes are now In a separat
school, It may Be that the msiOrity of the Bear
Of Pablrc Edueation win force the negroes Int,
Ell the eitS schools. This seems to Be the dsslr
Of The Asss1. jenkins, the one Custom HOus
clerk, and the other Of the Commercial boil
seeking popular favor with the negroes, and bOtI
sminenay fitted TO associate with ths higher ords
Of our Salorsd population.

OBITUARY.

GKN. JEssE SHARP died at his residence ON Del
aware Avenue, at an early hoIr this morning, Of
apople1y, in the 64th year Of his age.
His death will probably not surprise many Of
his warmest friends although Its occurrence was
sudden and unexpected, since he had only few
days since recovered from an attack Of Illness Of
several weeks duration, and had been out walking
On the streets a number Of times. He was taken
i'll about nine O'Clock last night and expired about
four o'clock this morning. Doctor Kane vas call
ed in, and everything was done that medical skill
could suggest, but without avail.
GRN. SHPARK was one Of our most prominent
citizens for many years. In fact from his early
manhood be has always been regarded as one OF
the most active and energetic characters in what
ever he undertook, and never aspired to position
be was not we'll qualified to fill. His Judgment
always commanded respect, and was mostly fol-
lowed and rarely wrong. Hence his services we're
very frequently sought, and when once obtained
not soon dispensed with, aud only with regret.
He held the Office of Collector of the Port during
the Administrations OF Presidents Pierce and Bu-
Chanan. aud discharged the duties thereof during
the Whols period, including the early part Of the
war, with hatlsfactlon to the heads OF the depart
msnt. He held the position Of President OF the
oda FellOWs' Hall Company for twenty-three years
and until his death he was also President OF the
Farmer MHtual Insurance Company, and had
held the position for twenty years and was one
Of the most prominent Aiders in the erection OF
the NasOnic Temple, and held . position in the
Board Of Directors from the organization of the
Company, being again chosen at the annual cleo
ton on Saturday. GKN. SHARPK's name was fire.
quently mentioned in connection with the candi-
dacy Of the Democratic party for Governor; and
Al our readers know, was regarded as one Of the
most prcmnent for the nomination in the coming
election, bat he never sought the nomination, and
WebeliOve would have accepted it with reluctance.
His name was placed on the ticket for State Sen
ator in 1874, but as the Whig party was in the
majority in this county and State at that tiOe he
with the rest Of the ticket, we're defeated.
The death Of GEN. SHARPE will be deeply TO
grstted By large circle OF friends in this city,
and an extensive acquaintance in all parts of the
Stata, and By many in adjoining States. He Wal
one of the kindest husbands and most indulgeni
parents, and leaves quite . large family, who
though all Of age, have nevertheless met with {
loss that is truly IrrepArabls The funeral will
take place on Thursday, at noon.
