HG THE GREAT HEALTH he
STORER.-In all ages of the world the skill and
scientific attachments Of man have been direct
ed to study of the human system and dis
covery Of the VARIOUS ills to which it is heir. IT,
after years OF constant tion, some distin-
guished physician has succeeded in compound
ing an agent by which the slightest ache may
be overcome, he has been hailed as a great
benefactor of his race, and with great propriety
the world have gladly sung p@ans to his praise
This being proper in the discovery of remedy
for single disease, how much more indebted
are the whole human family to the inventor of
BAKER'S BITTERs, a medicine that has stood
the test Of time, and proved panacea for Dys-
Pepsia, Diarrhcaa, Cholera Morhus, Craiup
Choiic, Giddiness, Nervous Debility, Loss of APP
petite, and Sour Stomach, while the various
nostrums Of quacks and empiries have flour
ished for an hour and then disappeared never
again to be revived.
BAKERS BITTERS are now used in hundreds
OF families In Virginia as their only medicine.
and that they are appreciated even by medical
men as tonic Of great virtue, is abundantly at
tested BY hundreds of certificates in the hands
of the Proprietor.
BAKERS BIrTERs are compounded entirely
OF vegetable extracts, which ara Is harmoni-
ousiy blended that ell ages and sexes may use
them with benefit, and without the fear OF
the slightest injury. Try them by all means,

GENIUS AND STRONG DRINK DI-
voRCEp.--The remark is frequently
heard that it is the most gifted, the
generous" fellows who are most apt to
fall into intemperance. The saying is
neither true nor useful. However il may
have been formerly, it has come to pass
now that, as Prof. Swing suggests, the
temperance reform has reached first the
minds that arc more gifted. MANY
years ngo," lie says, ;'it was my good
fortune To serve my country by being
Secretary Of IL temperance society, and in
that official dignity addressed letters Of
inquiry to Presidents of colleges and Pro-
fessors, to ask what WAS the quality of
the young men who, in those days,
marred their college course by the use of
ardent drinks. Long letters came from
President Woolsey, of Yale, and from
Horace Mann, then OF Boston, and from
Prof. Molfntt, of Princeton, and they ali
bore testimony that genius in their col
lcges and schools drank less than stupidi-
ty; that whiskey was passing away from
the higher orde: OF mind, and was to be
found only in possession of the more
sensual and less bright" Chicago Id
rance.

A COUNTRY WHERE LABOR is FREE.
At indianapolis there is newspaper
whose mission is the emancipt ion of
labor. If labor is so much enslavcd in
this country, it is u little singular that so
many poor men became rich here. There
is nothing that will emancipatc labor 80
soon as good morals and the habit of
saving. The mechanic who has learned
his trade well /; who has no pet vice to
feed, and who marries at % or 80 young
woman so skilled in house hold economy
that she can make every cent of his
wages bring to him its full value, is very
certain Of becoming well TO do if not n
rich man. No young man can accumu-
late property honestly without great self
denial in the beginning. He needs more
discipline than soldier, for he has II
bigger fight to make. One of the first
things he has to learn is the Importance
of keeping out of the society of fools and
spendthrilts. His most dangerous enc
mics are his companions

TIE INAUGURATION CEREMONIES.
Second Inauguration OF Governor Iiamp-
ton and Lieutenant Governor simpson.

In accordance with an indication from
Governor Hampton that lie was prepared
to be inauguratcl Us Governor of South
Carolina under the late election, the
President OF the Senate, the Speaker Of
the House of Representatives, the clerks
of the two houses and the committees
appointed to visit Governor Hampton
repaired to his residence on yesterday, at
O'Clock p. M, in company with the
Chief Justice, Lieutenant Governor
Simpson and Col. Wade II. Manning,
the Governors private secretary, for the
purpose Of witnessing the Inauguration
which had been authorized by the con-
current resolution Of the two houses of
the Legislature.
The party left the State House in car
riages, and after short drive we're soon
ut the Governors residence where they
were met and Invited in by Col. Wade
Hampton, J-. Thc Governor was lying
IN he6 yi!! :u expression of pain upon
his countenance, but otherwise appear
ing to be getting on well--indeed his
friends were agreeably disappointed, for
he appeared stronger and much moro
cheerful than they expected to find him.
AS the members of the party went 10
his bedside he shook hands with them
aud had some pleasant remark for each.
The object of the visit being made known,
Chief Justice Willard, sitting by his bed
side, held small Bible upon which the
Governor held his hand while the oath
was being read. At the conclusion of
which. taking the book into his own
hand, he raised it to his lips and then
signed the oath in steady and legible
hand, although lying upon his back.
Lieutenant Governor Simpson then took
and subscribed the oath of Office us Lieu
tenant-Governor. After which Governor
Hampton expressed to the Legislature,
through the committees, his appreciation
of the sympathy intended him by that
body, and said that the greatest regret he
feels in consequence of his painful acc-
dent is that he is deprived Of the privilege
of comforting with and consulting the
General Assembly about the matters of
Importance to the people of South Caro-
lima which they are considering.
The committees feeling that it would
he tax upon the Governors strength
for them to remain longer. wished him
speedy restoration to health and retired,
not having remained in the room for more
than fifteen minutes, and reached the cap
itol in less than one hour from the time
they left it. Members Of the committee
say that Governor never appeared nobler
than during the Inauguration ceremony.
Throughout the entire visit he WAS calm.
resolute and self possessed, showing a
cheerfulness which is believed to be the
indication of rapid improvement-C

your pa would notice you" But pa was
listening 10 the sermon with closed eyes.
How earnestly John Wesley wished his
mother would keep that threat to
bring him any morc-but lie knew she
didn't mean il, else lie would have moved
several times more.
All this time Sister Toogood sits lis
tening TO the preacher, save when ad-
monishing her children; her face il
clothed in pious prmncss. She is an
exemplary member, never misses Sun
day, or allows her children to do so.
She gives to the pastor, and has him to
dinner and to supper with her, and tries

The fear of the Lord that is what Bro.
Dolcman breaches about, and of that
everlasting lake of fire, where all who
arc not good, aud not church members

forever! Not cf the great mercy, the

sweet promises to the good, but Of the
terrible punishment to the wicked The
DcHutliul story OF Jesus, lnat chlldrcn
love to hear, wasn't told by Brother
Doleman the happy home in heaven,
its eternal joys and beauty, were left out
of his sermons, but he told of the horrors
of the lad place and its everlasting pun
ishment. How many Brother Dolenans
we have, how many such mothers as Mrs
Toogood, and how many little children
are taught to fear God rather than to
love Him. Little innocent hearts afraid
in the darkness, having no faith, no trust
in the love and protection of dear
Father above. Afraid to get sick, afraid
to die; hearing not, knowing not that

COMPRESSION OF TIE FEET.--A prac-
tice SO common that it may be safely said
that there is scarcely n normal shaped
foot to be found among civilized beings.
Although this compression is not in
E-ropc and America carried to the ex-
tent Of stopping all growth Of the feet
at very tender age, as among some
classes of the Chinese, yet tho natural
growth isso much impeded hy the idiot
ic fancy of most parents to encase their
chil1ren's feet in snug boots, that gener-
ally before n child is six years old the
toes are more or less derormed. Usu-
ally the growth of the little toes is en-
tirely suspended as early as twelve or
thirteen years Of age, while all are press
ed together and ovcrlappcd, and the great
toe. instead of continuing on line with
the side OF the foot, turns to the center
at an angle Of from thirty to thirty-fve
degrees. To whatever extent the COM
preston is carried, just to that degree is
the circulation interiercd with, causing
the blood to flow less and less freely, and
in decreasing quantity, causing no. only
discomfort from cold feet, but strong
tendency to consumption is Induced
The interference with the capillary cir
culation of the feet is also one of the
most common causes Of catarrh-a fact
not generally known.

Az ORGAN WITH A WILL or IT'S
OwN.-The good people of certain
country village in Indiana hungered
and thirstcd for an organ to assist in the
church services; but as they could not
afford to hire NJ organist, they bought a
sclf-opcrating instrument warranted tu
grind out forty tunes Of religious cast
The musical instrument was placed i'm
position for the next Sunday. The sex
ton was instructed how to set it going
and how to stop it, but unfortunately
forgot the latter part of his business ;
and after singing the first four verses of
Il hymn before the sermon, the organ
could not bo stopped, but continued
playing two verses more; then just as
the clergyman completed the words,
Let us pray" the organ clicked and
started another tune. The sexton and
others continued their excrlions to find
the spring, but no one could put stcp
to it; so they got four of the stoutest
men in the church TO shoulder the per-
verse instrument, and they carried it
down the aisle into the church yard,
where it continued clicking and playing
until the whole forty tunes were finished.

CRIMINAL STATISTICS.-F. r. San
born has been collecting facts regarding
CRIME and criminals in the United States.
The number Of convicts is now twice as
great &c in 1871, the relative figures being
81, 900 and 10000. The greatest increase
is in Georgia, Tennessee, and several
Western States. The number of per-
sons in prison as c0nvicts, OF waiting
trial, is G0,000, of whom less than one
sixth are women. About 10000 of the
whole number are in New York and
i 200 in Massachusetts, where the pro-
portion of prisoners to population is
greater than in any other part of the
country. In the South the higher pris-
ons are generally made sclf-supporting
by the labor of the convicts, who are
leased to contractors, who may employ
them anywhere in the State In Arkan-
sas the contractor pays nothing, but
meets all expenses. In Tennessee, Geor-
gia and Mississippi stated sums in money,
besides expenses, are paid by the contrac-
tors. Mr.. Sanborn figures as follows:
The general result of the labor of con-
victs in the State prisons of thirty-seven
States (for Delaware has no central prison)
falls 81 $4,000 short of the earnings re-
ouisite to support the 10000 convicts in
those prisons last year. The sum divided
among an average of 10000 State pris-
onecs, gives an average cost of something
moro than $44 year for each convict.
If we add the sum paid for the support
of short sentenced prisoners i'll jails, the
total cost of the 10000 persons in prison
throughout the year 1877 would probably
exceed $5,000,000, or something more
than $50 year for each prisoner.-Au-
