TWO FIRES.
An OIL MIL and n Dwelling De
strOyed LSst Might.

Attn clock last evening the Bluff
City Oil Works, Immediately north Of the
Charleston railroad depot, caught fire
accidentally, and we're totally destroyed.
The cause of the fire is believed to be
nail passing through the gin and com
ing in contact with the steel saws. The
mill was destroyed within half an hour,
owing to the conbustible materials con-
tanned therein. At one time the cotton
sheds and railroad buildings adjoining
we're in great danger. The works were
owned by Messrs Barton & Baker, who
estimate their loss at $4,000, upon
which there is an insurance Of $4,000.
FIRE IN CHELSEA.
At eleven o'clock the engines were
called out to Chelsea to suppress a fire
at the residence Of Leven d. Grant, on
the corner of Peyton avenue and Safa-
rams street. The building was destroy
ed, but the principal portion of the fur
niture was saved. Loss estimated at
$4,000; insurance, $500.

A rural gentleman entered CASTOR S

toast he having heard that CASTOR had
received fifty dozen ofs these winged
messengers. When served up on toast
the birds looked like a couple Of hum

gazed at the breakfast, then at the
waiter, and exclaimed: "The hill bring
me beefsteak and ham and eggs, and
take these darned mosquitoes away" He
was a gourmand, but not an epicure.

What Do Your Children Read !

A bad book, magazine or newspaper,
is as dangerous to your child as a
vicious companion, and will assuredly
corrupt his morals and lead him away
from the paths of safety. Every parent
should set this thought clearly before
his mind, and ponder it well. Look to
what your children read, and especially
to the kind of papers that get into their
hands, for there are now published
scores of weekly papers, with attractive
and sensual illustrations, that are as
hurtful to young and innocent souls as
poison to a healthful body.
Many Of these papers have obtained 6
large circulation, and are sowing broad.
cast the seeds of vice and crime. Trench
ing on the borders of innocency, they
corruptthemorals, faint theimagination
and allure the weak and unguardeC
from paths of innocence. The danger
to young persons from this cause wal
never so great as at this time; and every
father and mother should be on guart
against an enemy that is sure to NEE
their child.
Our mental companion s-the thoughts
and feelings that dwell with us wher
alone, and influence our actions these
are what lif. us up or drag us down. Il
your child has pure and good mental
companions, he is safe but if, through
corrupt books and papers, evil thoughts
and impure imaginlngs get into his
mind, his danger is imminent.
Look to it, then, that your children
are kept as free as possible from this
faint. Never bring into your house a
paper or periodical that is not strictly
pure, and watch carefully lest any such
get into the hands of your grown-up

Rude Dentistry.

A humorous description is given of
japanese dentistry. The dental pro.
fessor of Japan does not sit in an office
ornamanted with dread iuspiring instru,
ments of polished steel, waiting for
the unfortunate whom his shingle on
the outer walls invites to cross into the
parlor. He travels around with a brass
ornamented box, in which are some it
tie mallets and wedges. And the way
in which he performs the functions Of
hi craft is very simple, more simple
than the civilized way, perhaps, but
more severe. He drives his wedges in
between tooth and gum, forcing ttem
down with his mallet, until the tooth i.
loosened sufficiently to be taken out by
the fingers. Sometimes a Jaw is bro.
ken, and sometimes the patient dies
We think we would be almost willing tc
die.

Refunding the Cotton Tan.

The friends of the MEASURE for re.
funding the cotton tax are moving in
order to secure its consideration at the
present session Of congress. There is
now, as there was at the last session, a
strong conviction that this money was
wrongfully and upconstituti0ually tx.
tOrted from the cotton states at a time
when their prostrate condition dictated
. wholly different policy.
The great difficulty in the way OF Sc
curing payment in the last congress was
the strength Of the sectional prejudice
still existing against those states for
seeding from the Union but this feel
ing would probably not have proved
sufficient to defea. the claim, if the
friends Of the reflnding measure had
been able to agree among themselves
about the paymeu. OF the money. The
associations Of cotton factors who had
spent their time aud money in pushing
the claim in the courts al Washington.
insisted that tie IC1ev should be paid

Ct. pts for the tax paid. Some Of the
planters were willing % le. the matter

tors had 4 dlctei its amount On paving

WHEN ANY antidote or remedy for any
particula class Of disease obtains a
wide-spreading notoriety, it is but rea.
sonable to suppose hat it must mer t
the popularity it receives. 1t is within
our province to mention that DR.. J..
Walkers @ Ilifornia Vinegar Bitters, so
long and favorabIy known as the safest
and most reliable remedial agent for the
cure of liver, kidney, bladder, and
glandular diseases, mental and physical
debility, and all complaints emanating
from a corrupt state of the blood, ETC.,
are in great demand. So satisfied are
We of the intrinsic worth OF this medi-
cine, that we do not hesitate to notice it
in our columns. 1t is well to mention
that this medicine is compounded of
roots, herbs and fowels of California,
and has no fiery material OF alcohol
use in its preparation. We can add
do better eulogium than the fact that
we use it constantly in Our own family,
and each member thereof partakes of it,
when nec' ssary, according to directions.
