dition of the natives, &C., with salary Of IS

macker, Of n. Y, in discussing the resolution
related how Henry Haven and A. s. Willets of
New York had long ago formed fur seal COM
pany. and sold their interest for four millions
of dollars, and how the monopoly was now
owned by foreigners in Hamburg, Frankfort,
and London. He characterized 1t as one OF The
most gigantic swindles Of the age.

Early Day Linen.

The long linen bandages in which the
ancient Egyptians swathed their num-
mics, after the lapse of 5000 years are
frequently found in an excellent state
of preservation, though much discol-
orei withage. A recent writer on this
subject says:
"The beauty of this texture, and the
popularity in the structure of amummy
cloth, were very striking. It was free
from gum or rosin, or impregnation of
any kind, and had evidently been ori9i-
nally white. 1t was close and firm, yet
very elastic. The yarn of both warp
and woof was double, consisting OF two
fine threads twisted together. The
woof was single. The warp contained
80 threads to the inch, the woof or welt
only Al. The fneness of these mate
rials, after the manner of cotton yarn,
was about 80 hanks to the pound: The
subsequent examination OF a great va
riety of mummy cloths showed that the
disparity between the warp and woof
belonged to the system of manufacture,
and that the warp had generally twice
or thrice, and not seldom four times
the number of threads in one inch that
the woof had.

Come, and Let Us Reason Together.

To the afflicted in body, we offer a
few words of plain, practical reasoning.
No matter under what form of sickness
you labor there is one great truth you
should ever keep in mind, viz: All dis
ease originates in IN impure condition
of the blood. Purify that, and the dis
ease must depart, for it has nothing to
feed on; but you cannot purify the
blood by the use of poisonous drugs,
and exhaustive stimulants the relief
which these afford is temporary and
deceptive, leaving you worse off at
every interval. The best Blood Puri.
fer ever discovered is DIR. WALKERS
FAMOUS VINEGAR BIrTERs, compounded
of simple herbs. No matter how hope
less your case may seem, try the VINE.
GAR B1rTERs, and few draughts will
convince you of their virtue. DIR.
Walker, the discoverer Of this priceless
remedy, had been given up to die by
the Physicians, and Is now sound and
healthy man from their use.-Com.

..WHEREAs, in many portions Of the
State great dissatisfaction prevails
among the people, and a feeling of ap-
parent hostility exists between the two
races, caused, as we believe, by two
strict an adherence to party lines; and
whereas, in Anderson County peace and
prosperity reigns, law and order are en-
forced fairly and justly, and the two
races are living happily and harmoni-

agitation and irritation, and excite un-
friendly feelings between the races. BE
it, therefore,
Resolved. By the Republicans of An

bled, that We pledge ourselves to make
no nominations during the present
election. And be it further

THIEF CAUGHT. - Our enterprising
friends Messrs. Quaries d Perrin have
the greatest quantity Of new and ele-
giant goods and they have the, art Of dis
playing them ias the most attractive
manner. Recently one sot the cotored
''sovereigns" while wading through,
inspecting and pricing the various arti-
cles that greeted his eyes was so much
taken with the goods that he saw, teok
u sack, full OF them as he thought, sun-
perceived bythe prnprietors.s Nothing
was said tD this sovereign, until, he was
about To take his departure, lie was
presented with the bill for the goods
that he had ,stelen, and kindly told that
he could either pay or so to Jail. The
negro chose to pay. Messrs. Quarles &
Perrin thought it of little use to prose
cute. and so let off their customer by his
paying for their goods.
