Our citizens had the pleasure OH Tdes-
day last Of hearing an able and eloquent
address from G. ]. p. Thomas, Superin-
tendent of the Charlotte Military Insti-
tute, upon "south Carolina--her past,
present and future. But for tile shdft-
ness of the notice and the absence of
many of our people, the audience would
have been much larger. The address
was worthy bt the speaker, ind was
listened to with marked attention. 1t
presented an interesting review of the
past history of the State even rs farback
rs colonial days, and unfolded the glow
ing record Of ancient proWess, as an in
centive to future effort. 1t was earnest
in spirit and hopeful in tone, and made
many stirring appeals to those senti-
ments of duty and Of self-interest which
lie at the basis of the work of renova-
ton and restoration. 1t was a, strong
protest against the apathy Which pre-
walls in certain quarters, and trumpet
tongued tall to nctltc effort. The Colo
mel was the guest IF Rev. e. r.. Miles.

Since the introduction of distilled
spirits in the sixteenth century, they
have been habitually prescribed as
remedies. We know that alcohol, in
all its forms, is pernicious to health.

not worth while to try the effect of a
remedy which combines in their high

certainty? DIR. Walkers Vinegar Bit

A Cool Quaker.

A Friend appeared in court recently
during a trial, and stood, as Quakers
are accustomed to, with his hat on. A
very efficient marshal, employed for
this occasion, to assist in preserving
order, regarding this as an insult to the
court and to himself, as her representa-
tive, approached the Friend and de,
manded, imperatively, that he should
uncover. The Friend explained that
he meant no disrespect, but it was the
custom of their people. It would not
do. The brave special marshal raised
his cane and knocked the offending
broad-brim on the floor. The Friend
paid no attention to this, but remained
motionless.
In little while the marshal returned,
picked up the hat, and handed it to the
Quaker, who took no notice of it what
ever, and the marshal deposited it on
the table. But the poor marshal was
not at his ease, and shortly after this
he again appeared, took the hat, and
placed it very gently on the Friends
head and the last we saw of the
Quaker he stood there with his hat on,
looking as coolly on the proceedings
as though nothing had happened to
disturb his equanimity.
