A CERTAIN CURE FOR CIIILLS AND FEvE

A CERTAIN CURE FOR CIIGLLS AND FEVER.
Several years ago 1 was travelling witha very
Intelligent Kansas stockdealcr. In tho course
of II conversation he remarked that i'll the carly
settlement of that State he had suffered much,
as all early settlers always do i'll the West, from
this disease He had used tho ordinary
remedies, largely composed Of quninc, with
the usual resllts--curimg for the time being, to
return again in a week or two.
Being among some Of the Indians south OF
that State, he came across Frcnchman who
called hinsclfa doctor. This man advised him
TO get tn ounce of camphor, all in one piece, IL
possible, sew ii up in a small cloth bag, hang.
inr it round his neck with Il tape, so it would
come ut the bottom Of the stcrnum or breast
bone. and securing it there with another tape
round the body, to keep it i'll place. This he
said. would all cvaporato in Il week or ten days
when he must get another and use it III the
same way Two ounces thus used, costing 20
cents. would cure, he declared, the worst ease
of a.rlle SO it would never come back. The
Kansas man declared that he had tried this
remedy in hundreds Of cases, and had never
known il to fail. Since obtaining this intorma-
tion have tried ii many times, with the same
results. So simple and harmless remedy
ought to be in general use-PTuiric Farmer.

The Washington Gtronicle says it is best
mot to trll = secret :t ALL but if 4 person must
tell il, "Ict him select the breast of dead per-
son. or THAT Of the wooden or cast-'ron figures
in front of the cigar stores. If that is not ad-
yisablc let him get Il large piece of adhesive
rl:.sler and cover his mouth with it, 1t is
known by slatisiici;lns that but one important
secret was ever faithfully kept by the party to
whom it WAS given in confidence, and that
party died Immediately upon It's reccption.'
That WAS sIlrrwd advice of Il learned law
yer to 4 pupil: "Whcn the facts arc in your
favor, but the law opposed to you, come out
strong ON The facts and when the law is in
vour favor and The facts opposed to you, come
out strong ON the law" But inquired the
student, when the law and the facts are both
a..li,,st nc, what shall 1 do?' "Why, then,"
sud tho lawyer, talk around it."

and you got to come down from there and
haff it."
Then Moses quakcd exceedingly and cried
aloud to Daniel, the chief scribe, w!io was ms
prime minister and chamberlain, and learne1
in the law, and who was in the den of wild
beasts. and forthwith he came out and said
unto Moses "NIoses, be of good cheer, for not
q hair of thy head shall be hurt" And he
said to his accusers, "Know ye, Ethiopians,
that your King is above the law, and cannot
be tried by YOU for his misdoings? for so saith
the Emperor. But when the time of his de-
parture cometh, according to his will, 10! L
am with you, and will be an honest l>ing tor
YOU. and hnld the keys of the treasury near my
heart anu will abide with you forever"
Then the Ethiopians said unto Daniel the
scribe, who was learned in the law, wv ma dld
YOU cum from ? wha you bin all dis time? who
company you bin keeping? what you got III
you pocket? wha all dat money cum from 1
tell YOU, old boss, you tink to fool dis niger,
but niger know, jes as well as you,
Dat. burds of felder flock togeddcr.
So les go way, Daniel, weed ruddcr hab one
of dem Malekites, and lief you and Moses Tor
grind YOUR own corn, for we are gwine to grlne
our corn ourselves any more for all been carry
to YOUR mill you been glib us de tole ana you
steal all de corn yourself"
And it came to pass that just then a great
voice, seeming to come from the clouds, cried
out, s'Let us have peace" and 10 and behold!
King Moses and his prime minister, who was
learned in the law, fled from the face of the
people into the wilderness and were heard OF
no more.
And there was 'peace" in the land of Canaan,
and great rejoicing amongst the people thereof.

WoMASLY MoDEsry-Men love the myste-
rious. A cloudless sky, the fullblown rose,
leaves him unmovcd; but the violet which
hides its blushing beauties behind the bush,
and the moon, when she energies from behind
a cloud, arc to him sources of inspiration and
pleasure Molesty is to merit, what shade is
to figure in painting; it gives it bo!dness and
prominence. Nothing adds more to female
beauty than modesty; it sheds around the
countcnance a halo Of light which is borrowed
from virtue. Botanists have given the rosy
hue which tinges the cup of the rose the name
of maiden blush" This pure and delicate
hue is the only paint that Christian virtue
should Use ; it is the richest ornament. A
woman without modesty is ike . faded flower,
which dNfuses an unwholeSomc odor, and which
the prudent gardener will throw away from
him. Her destiny is melancholy, for it ends
in shame and repentance. Beauty passes like
the flower of the aloe, which blooms and dies in
a few hours but modcsty gives the female
character charms which supply the place of
the transitory freshness Of youth.

Terrible Excitement Among the Radical Oil"
ciaiS in Columbia.

"The wicked flee when no man pursUcth,"
saveth the Scriptures and such was the case on
"Wednesday night, when Governor Moses, Sen
ator Patterson, General Dennis and other
prominent Radical offce-hodcrs became badly
scarced and sought protection from the United
States soldiers. As the story goes, report
reached the Executive ears that party OF @c-
enty mounted men, from Georgia, had arrived
at CRANKY, on a special train, and were gong
to precipitate themselves upon the delenceess
officials, and "clean them out" This terrible
information was brought by a colored woman
from the vicinity, who declared she had counted
them. The only foundation for the report, as
far as we can learn, was that Mr.. John Long,
with two other citizens, were on fox hunt on
the Lexington side of the river; and the sound
of their horns melting the dogs, created the
idea of detachment Of cavalry, accompanied
by innumerable buglers.
It appears that the Governor was entertain
ing Senator Patterson, Gen. Dennis and Treas
urer Neage, at a late hour of the night, when,
like the warning to Belhazzar, came tho notii-
cation of the anticipated raid. Messengers
were Immediately sent to the garrison head
quarters, and Captain Ogden, acting Com
nandant of the Post summoned to the resi-
dence of Neagle, where the frightened party
had congregated The Captain was requested
by the Senator to put the garrison under arms
but this he declined to do-his directions be-
ing to avoid any interference in political or
other affairs, except upon direct orders from
Washington. "Well," said the Senator, would
YOU see a man murdered, without interfering"
II could not help it," was the reply. Convcr-
sation and inquiry of this nature was kept up
for some time, when in rushed Col. Chas. Min
ort heated and breathless. A glass of wafcr
revived him. "Well," demanded the Governor,
"what have you to report?" II have had my
skirmishers out" GLOW far" "About mile
and half" "lNhat was discovered % .'Noth-
ing," was the prompt response. Captain Og,
den returned shortly afterwards, highly amused
at the ridiculous proceedings.
General Dennis had previously removed his
family to place Of safety, and upon the
breaking up of the conference, departed
for the Penitentiary, where it is supposed, ne
safely locked himself up. DR.. Neagle di>ap-
peared, and was not heard Of for five or six
hours. The Governor and the Senator obtained
shelter with Captain Loyd (where, in single
bed, they passed the remaining hours oil the
night together.) Wouldbe Congressman, L.
Cass Carpenter, was seen, yesterday morning,
streaking it for the depot, in order to carry the
terrible Intelligence of the raid, and erhat n,igM
occur, to the authorities at Washington, after
the style of his celebrated Ku Klux statements,
Later in the day, Mr. Long and his two friends,
accompanied by their hounds, arrived in the
CITY, and was much surprised to learn OF the
excitement he had created. And so ends the
celebrated fox hunt or the second battle of
Granby.-PhGniT.

Use of Silence.

A pity that so few people understand the full
effect of well-timed silence! How eloquent it
is in reality Acquiescence, contradiction, diff.
ference disdain, embarrassment, and awe may
all be expressed by saying nothing. 1t may be
necessary to illustrate this apparent paradox
by few examples. Do you seek an assurance
OF your lady loves affection? The fair one
confirms her lovers fondest hopes by compliant
and asserting silence. Should you hear an
assertion which you may deem false, made by
some one whose veracity politeness may with
hold you from openly declaring your doubt,
you denote a difference OF opinion by remain
ing silent. Are you receiving a reprimand
from a superior? You mark your respect by
an attentive silence. Are you compelled to
listen 10 The frivolous conversation of fop?
You signify your opinion Of him by treating
his loquacity with contemptuous silence
Again, how much domestic strife might have
been prevented, how often might the quarrel
which, by mutual aggravaton, has, perhaps,
terminated in bloodslled, had it been checked
in the commencement 10y judicious silence
Those persons only who have experienced them
are aware Of tie beneficial effects of that for
bearance, which, for the eXasperating threat,
the malicious sneer, Of the unjustly imputated
ulpability shall never answer a word. A soft
answer turns away wrath but sometimes erring
humanity cannot give this soft answer in mo-
ments of irritation in such cases there stands
the fortress Of silence, with doors wide open,
rs refuge for the tired spirit until calmer mo-
ments come. Think Of this seriously you who
glory in having the last word"

"THE TRUE WHITE MANS PARTY."-Mr.
VIM Henry Trescots name is entitled to con-
sderation in South Carolina, and when be Of
fers himself as a candidate for Congress, with
out waiting for the action of any party con-
yention we turn to his address with great
deal of interest Mr.. Trescot does not appear
as the representative of any party. And ne
invites all honest citizens irrespective of their
previous partisan associations, to cooperate
with him in the attempt to drive out clique
CT thieyish office-hoders who disgrace and
weaken their own party. We are not sangulEe
of the success Of Mr.. Trescots canvass; but
he has correctly stated what onght to be the
attitude Of the patriotic people of South Caro-
lima, and his campaign will be watched at the
North with some solicitude. Within few
DAYS another distinguished South Carolina
Conservative has also made public statement
of his views on the political situation. Gen.
J. &. Kershaw, like Mr.. Trescot, is careful to
disclaim any hostility to Gen. Grant. Both,
on the contrary, assure lhelr friends that what
ever issues may have formerly divided them
from The President and his administration were
long ago closed, and that they look to General
Grant with the best hope for relief. The black
2acn end tile achifc men in th' South haze got to
lire togcther, and work together, and there will
be no real peace and prosperity until they learn
to vote together. They arc kept apart by two
classes of politicians, equally pcstilcut-the
blatant rogues like Moses, who persuade the
negro that his rights arc endangered by the
re-appearancc of the Southern white Conserv-
ative in politics; and the roaring ire-caters
like the editor of the Montgomery (Ala)
Moruing Ncms, who threaten the white man
with "miscegcnation" unless he can assert at
once and for all his political and social suprem-
ary-N Y Tribune.

residence of her father, near Pcndcton, dis
tauce of thirty-four miles, carrying her baby,

in the morning, and reached her fathers at 5
o'clock in the afternoon, making an average of
q little over three miles an hour for eleven
consecutive hours, over a mountainous, hilly
and rough road, with the thermometer standing
at ninety-six degrees most of the time No
other motive induced the walk than parental
affection, the pleasure of seeing her parents
