dissolved, and therefore not being liable to accu

aperient quality.
This solution of Magnesia is found particularly
beneficial as pleasing sedatve and aperient in all
cases of irritation, acdity of the stomach feble
complaints, infantile disorders. or sea-sickness.
An ounce two OF this solution speedily removes
heartburn acr1d eructations and sourness, or rreg

tive properties can be much augmented by taking
with it, directly after it, little lemon juice, mix
tar; in this manner very agreeable eferYescent
draught can be safely taken at any time during
fever or thirst.
The antsceptic qualities of this solution, OWN
to the presence OF much carbonic acid have been
found very valuable in putrid and other fever. AS

A Perfect Toilet Soap.

First among the requisites OF the toilet is O good
article of Soap, but to procure II is not always
easy matter. Many Of the most expensive Soaps in
the market are made from coarse and deleterious
materials and their delicate colOrng and fragrant
perfume too often cnnoeal the most repulsive IN
purities. The disclosures recently made public
regarding this 81 ject are positively startling, and
deserve serious consideration. Scented Soaps are
now known to be extremely Objectionable, especial
ly If applied to the head injuring the hair irrita
ting the scalp, and inducing severe headaches. The
character of the ingredients may be inferred from
the statement of gentlemen VINO makes the scent
ing OF Soaps his business he recently declared that
perpOns engaged in this employment were short
lived; from seven TO ten years being the longest
period during which the occupation could be fol-
lowed.
The difficulty of procuring perfectly pure arti-
Gle of toilet soap is at last obviated, however,
thanks to the enterprise and chemical skill of Mr..
Il. L. Rabbit of New York, the world-renowned
Soap Manufacturer, whose immense establishment
is by lar the greutest Of the kind in the United
States. The renown of Mr.. Babbitt's various pro-
auctions has for many years been widely dissem-
mated, but this latest success is the appropriate
crown to the numerous victories already achieved.
After years OF patient labor and scientific expert
ment, Mr.. Babbitt has succeeded in perfectinL the
composition OF the fir est toilet goap ever intro
onced. The principal ingredients are the pprest
vegetable oils; the manufacturing processes are
entirely and original, and the result is simply
unparaslele in this department OF industry.

MIDDLETON CORRESPONDENTS.
Max o'RiIey OverI,auIed.


MEssRs. ED1ToRs: see a piece in your
paper from Max O'Riley, giving the public
full history of the concert which came off.
the night of the 26th Of June; also bur
Iesque on the good people Of Middleton for
refusing them the Methodist church for that
occasion, and stating that churches are built
for sectarian sermons and prosy discourses
alone-not for the improvement OF youth,
identifying the brain. or raising the stand
ard OF intelligence. Now the calendar tells
me that last night was the Sth of July. and
I went to church for the first time since the
night of the concert which came off the 22d
or 23d Of December last. I found quite
change in the church. 1t seemed to me it
WAS the house Of God. The altar. the pull
pit, the hymn book and Bible all look nat
ural. The Rev. Mr. Johnson came in and
invited Bro. J. \. Fife up in thcstand, after
which Bro. johnson prayed and then sung
4 song OF praise to God, and then preached
a good sermon. Bro. Fife sung that good
old song, Coronation, and prayed 4 good
prayer, after which Bro. johnson closed the
services, and l remembered that the church
was dedicated to the service of God. Now
by the help Of God I Will give the public
some OF the reasons why the concert was not
held in the church again, and let it decide
whether such conduct would beautifv the
brain and raise the standard Of intelligence
or not On that memorable night the
church was lit up when | entered, but no
altar could be seen, no pulpit, no hymn
book, no preachers heard, no song of praise ;
but there were great white curtains stretched
across the church. l heard the tuning of
two violins and as they commenced playing
some one remarked that it was 4 real tune,
and / heard dancing on what they called a
stage, and could hear the pattering OF feet
all over the house. l was surrounded by
Presbytcrians, Baptists and Complexities,
| also some publicans, nearly all of whom
came to me and asked me what l thought of
it | could not speak, but was bound to think
OF the time that Christ went up to Jerusalem
and found those in the temple selling oxen,
sheep and doves, and the changers OF money.
and he made a scourge of small cords and
drove them all out and told them to take
those things hence, for it is written, thou
shalt not make my Fathers house, etc, and
l thought that if he was to come along now
he would weep over Middleton as he did
over Jerusalem, and say, take those fddles
hence, you have made my Fathers house a
ball room, and put us all ont. And to cap
the climax it wound up with a negro show,
too vulgar to be decent This Is what Max
ORiley thinks beauties the brain, improves
the youth and raises the standard Of intelli-
gence. God forbid l should ever witness
another

Base Ball.

For the past few weeks our town has
manifested considerable interest in base ball
matters. First, the two clubs, the Nicely and
the Bolivar, created the excitement, and
the whole community took sides for one or
the other clubs. After the second defeat Of
the Bolivar nine The two clubs were consoIi-
dated and picked nine selected from them
The Jackson boys hearing Of our organiza-
ton sent down challenge for a match
game, which was promptly accepted, and
the game came off last Thursday afternoon
at this place. Quite large crowd collected
to witness the contest, and the ladies were
out in full force, and during the game be-
came much more excited than did the gen
tlemen. They commenced at four O'Clock,
and the Juniors won the toss, sending the
Resolutes to the bat. Neither club PLAYED
as well as had been expected, and a large
The Jackson club has some magnificent
players and their fielders never let ball
pass them. Our boys held their own and
on the ending Of the seventh inning were
three ahead. On the eighth inning the
Resolutes made three. The Juniors then
went to the bat, but before the inning was
out the ResolEtes demanded time on account
of darkness. After considerable discussion
the point was submitted to the umpire, who
reserved his decision It may be well
enough to say here that the best Of feeling
existed between the opposing clubs. The
ladies attested their appreciation Of the
playing by presenting some beautiful bou-
quets, but as we do not remember all the
lucky base ballists, we viii notmention any
4 zeg Of beer from the Bolivar nine refresh
ed the players after the contest was over.
Thursday night Mr.. Charles Miller gave
Il most enjoyable impromptu 'Hop" at his
residence, in honor of the visitors. 4 good
band discoursed sweet music and the dancers
chased the hours with flying feet, and
Eyes looked love to eyes which spake again
And all went merry as a marriage bell"
Everybody present seemed to enjoy them
selves very much, and we shrewdly suspect
some of the Jackson boys were captivatcd
by the bright smiles and winning grace Of
the young ladies-at least it looked that way
when the parting hour came. Dancing was
kept uphill , o'clock a. M. when number of
the gentlemen left on the train for home.
The Resolutcs challenged the Juniors for a
return game, and it will be played at Jack
son tomorrow.

Public schools.

PINEY, Tenn, July Q, 1877.
NIEssEs. EDTToEs: As YOU have had no
letter from this district l wish to state few
facts in regard to our public school system
not the system, but how it Is working in
our district, No. IS. We have three houses
in the district with three months school at
two OF them ayear, making only six months
school in the district per year. The law
says there shall be five months school at
each designated school house per year, but
it has not been so and as long as the present
state OF affairs exist there never will be.
The law also directs that the directors shall
hold meetings and call the people together
and confer with them as to the best course to
pursue. But they never had Il meeting. 1t
may be conjectured that they have held Il
caucus ION Uuddlcston's mill pond while
fishing for a three ounce trout to put in an
inexperienced teacher against the will of
the majority OF the people in favor of an
other The intention Of directors Is to serve
the people and in selecting teachers and dis
missing them according to the viii of the
majority Of the people, but when our direc-
tors act all il is to suit themselves and to
there own interest.
But the fault Is not solely with the direc-
tors. The people must bear their portion in
regard to the failure Of public schools
When our three months sessions are going
on, on an average onc-third of the children
are at home. \ few figures viii show that
with slight effort we could have a five
months school at each house every year. 1t
would cost at $50 per month to have
five months school at each house S52j. We
receive on an average from the public fund
$3.50, which leaves 1919 to be raised We
have 40 voters and if raised at the poles
would only be So to each pole. And if
a man had half dozen children he could
send them five months for $3.50. II he was
to send them to subscription school at s.
per scholar it would cost him 500 Who is
not in favor Of this economy and taxation?
Show the man and l Will show YOU man
that Is deaf to education and Improvement.
Let us march to the front and throw off the
mantle Of SlothfuIness and contention and
do something for that little fair-haired boy,
who ere long Will assume the duties and re-
sponsibitities of an American citizen. And
let our Mr. County Court rub back his but
termiIk moustache and step up to Mr.. Tax
payer and run his hand down to the bottom
OF his pocket after a three cent piece and if it
Is not there have the audacity to tell him to
produce corn-fed eggs and raise it to pay the
county supcrintedont Of public instruction.
Show the county that does not pay its super
intendent more than 500 and YOU viii find
a county in which public schools are doing
no good. If the County Court and direc-
tors continue to diminish the salaries Of
county suPcrintcndents. and teachers the
poor house will be filed with public school
teachers and have the superintendent to
cook for them. W. y. Ross.
