SPECIAL NOTICE.

Many who are suffering from the effects of
the warm weather and are debilitated, are ad-
vised by physicians to take moderate amounts
of whisky two or three times day. In q lit
tie while those who adopt this advice FIRE,
quently increase the number of drinks,
and in time become confirmed inebriates. A
beverage which will not create thirst for intox-
ioating liquors, and which is intended especi-
ally for the benefit of debilitated persons.
whether at home or abroad, is DR.. Schenck's
Sea Weed Tonic. Containing the juices Of
many medicinal herbs, this preparation does
not create an appetite for the intoxicating
cup. The nourishing and the life-supporting
properties of many valuable natural produc-
tions contained in it and well known to medi-
cal men have most strengthening influence.
A single bettle of the Tonic will demonstrate
its valuable qualities. For debility arising
from sickness, over exertiOn or from any cause
whatever, wine glassful of Sea Weed Tonic
taken after meals will strengthen the stomach
and create an appetite for wholesome food.
To all who are about leaving their homes. we
desire to say that the excellent effects OF DR.:
Schenck's seasonable remedies, Sea Weed
Tonic. and Mandrake Pills, are particularly
evident when taken by those who are iniurl-
ously affected by change of water and diet.
No person should leave home without taking
a supply Of these safeguards along. For sale
by all druggists. eod-l33-lb5

Suspension of the Figaro.

The Paris Figaro reappeared in great
good humor after its suppression by the
government, and will doubtless make up
for its immediate losses, which have been
heavy, by increased popularity. The
serates the public for what it lost during
the eclipse. The chief editor and pro-
prietor, M. de Villemessant, is like a
man who recovering from blow which
has stunned him, finds that he was
struck by friend. He says that all his
life he has been staunch supporter OF
the legitimate monarchy; and yet when
the question of suppressing his paper
was raised in the Assembly it drew forth
cheers from the Legitimate benches
Again, he supported the government,
perhaps with q little too much zeal,
and his paper was suspended by the
government. What, it is asked, would
have been thought of the imperial gov
ernment suspendiag the Pays, its most
violent advocate2 AS for the article
which got the Figaro into trouble NJ. de
Villemessant declares that he meant to
have toned it down with regard to its
language concerning deputies, but un-
fortunately he had no pencil; he relates
that he was on the point of purchasing
a pencil when the revolution of l848
broke out, and that he has never had
time since. In short, it was all by acci-
dent that the article of NJ. Saint Genest
went to press in its crude and aggressive
form. The consequences Of this neg
lect we're serious, and have cost the
Figaro over $4,000. No fewer than 200
people were thrown out of work by the
suspension Of the paper, and had not M.
de Villemessant determined to continue
paying his staff as usual, great suffering
would have resulted.

The BeginningSSOf the End

The New York Tribune, referring to
DurrePs ignominious flight from his office
in order to descend from his chad emf
nence'' into obscurity, says:
We can see the beginning of the end
of the long reign of misrule, corruption,
and robbery to which the Southern States
have been subjected. The marvellous
fables about intimidation and outrages
and the war of races are pretty much ex-
ploded. There is no longer any excuse
for bayonet rule. There can be no more
shifting OF responsibility from the Presi-
dent to Congress and back, no more
using of Federal Courts to annual legal
elections, and the army and navy to
sustain usurpations backed by midnight
orders and illegal DEGREES.

OBITUARY.

Mrs. Margaret n New, wife of DR.. C. B.
New, and daughter of DR.. Rush Mutt. died
ofpneumonia, after few days Illness in
Pass Christian, Harrison county Mississip-
pi, on the morning of Sunday, 18th of No
vember. 1874; aged forty-four years.
The deceased was born in Jefferson Co
Miss, at Laurel Hill, near Rodney. Her
father was one of the early settlers of the
country. and one Of the founders and
most liberal patrons of Oakland College.
She was of a Presbe terrain family and
faithfully and punctiliously observed all the
tenets and beheSts of her church. Her church
and family were the all in all to her on earth.
a little heaven whence she was called TO the
Heaven on high. No more conscientious
woman lived. So strict was she in the OBJ
servance of the Christian Sabbath and in the
training of her household that by some she
was deemed Puritanical. Home with all its
duties ever lay near her heart.
Nursed in the cradle of wealth with all its
attendant advantages, she was unostents-
tious in her charities, ever a friend to the
poor liberal in her donations and walked
humbly before God and the world. In her
expressions ofopinions in reference TO such
as differed with her, she was reticent and
charitable. By reason of her undemonstra-
tive nature, By some she was not understood
as having a heart ever gushing with tender
ness toward all. By no means bigoted or
exclusive, but affiliating and enjoying
herself with all who aimed TO do right.
For years she was the child of affection,
but has now rejoined those who have pre-
ceeded her to the home of the happy. Her
record is on high aud her good works do fol-
low her.
How cheering the thought, that the spirits
in bliss
SHOULD bow their bright wings to world
such rs this;
SHOULD leave their bright home ia the man
sions above.
''And breathe DER our spirits some message
OF love?"

Civil Rights and Southern
Schools.

In his message to the Legislature OF
at this time there appeared TO be but two
impediments to a vigorous system of COM
mon schools in that State and these he
decided as follows
First, our comparative poverty as a
people; and, secondly. the so called civil
rights bill. The first impeachment or diff
Guilty could be surmOunted, for out of their
little, our people would consider it sound
economy as well as commendable philan-
thropy, to spare something for general
education, and our common school system
would rise slowly but surely, as it did
from 1910 to 1860, into great and in
creasing usefulness. But law passed by
Congress requiring tue two races to be
mixed in the public schools Of the State,
would, in ali probability, result in the
closing of these schools in North Caro-
lima.
Indeed, the mere tendency of such a
law before Congress, with the prospect of
its passage, would g very far TO depress,
if not to destroy, the common schools in
this State. | indulge in no comments
upon the civil rights bill, but simply give
expression to the views and feelings OF the
great body of our people. Our State
constitution makes no discrimination
against the colored race. There is no law
in this State forbidding colored children
from attending any of our public schools.
BY general consent, and by the erection
of separate school houses for the two
races, they have been wisely separated
from each other, and our people would
regard any change in this respect as inju-
rious to both races, and as calculated to
sap the foundation of the public schools.
l commend the whole subject of edu-
cation, gentlemen, to your considera-
ton.

What the Tax Leagues are
Doing.
From the Brandon Republican. ]

From the Brandon Republican,
Tax Payers Leagues are being formed
all over the State, and there appears 10 be
determination on the part Of the people
to put stop to official rascality. They are
not only demanding reduction of the
number and the salaries of officers, but
they are investigating the records and
exposing the rascalities of those in office,
and they are determined to land the
thieves in the penitentiary or make them
leave the State. Our League has employed
counsel to investigate the records of This
county, and the probability is that some
astounding frauds may be brought to
light.
