If PRsTERED by an Eruption use GLKNN's SUI
PHUR SOAP, the ruling specific for diseases rrita-
lions and abrasiOns of the skin and a most salut-
airy beautifier of the complexion. This admirable
article is an inexpensive substitute for sulp hur
baths and is equally effective in banishing Gu
taneous maladies, and removing the pangs of rheu-
matism and govt. Redness and roughness, tar,
freckles pimples and indeed every imperfection of
the Cuticle is entirely removed by it. 1t is avoueh
ed, by ladies who have used it, to be the most
effective means of clarifying and softening the skin
that they have ever employed; its health promot-
ing properties widely recognized by medical
men, and evidence in its behalf, emanating from
other and equally respectable sources, precludes
any reasonable doubt as to the genuineness of its
claims to public confidence. Clothing and linen
from the sick room is disnfected by it, and it pre-
vents contagion when the danger of obnoxious dis
eases has been incurred by contact. Sores and
ulcers that resist the operations of salves and
lotions are healed by it, and it relieves the
swelling and pain caused by bruises and sprains.
The opening of the pores, resulting from the whole
some stimulation of the superficial blood vessels
that it produces is the effect best calculated to
the circulation when overheated, and carry off
those offensive granulations which disfgure the
cuticle and render existence state of martyrdom
while they remain. Eruptions, ailments that
ointments will not cure, entirely eradicated by

WILL Mr.. COOPER PURCHASE LIMESTONE.
SrRINGs.-Spartanburg, May 17.-Of the car
rying to completion of Mr.. Cooper's benevolent
design of establishing institution fer women
there would have been little doubt, suppose,
if it were not for the ladies Of his family, and
the politics of Mr.. Hewitt. The latter differs
in politics from Mr.. Cooper especially he breads
Mr.. Cooper's influence, (should he endcar him
self to the South) on the Southern people in the
financial questions Of the country. Were is
little doutt that Hewitt sent Raymond and the
ladies of the family with the old ge1tlcman rs q
kind of body-guard, to keep Mr.. Cooper from
receiving any public demonst rations and from
addressing the people. Besides, the ladies fear
that he might get so interested in the carrying
out Of his design that ne might ultimately leave
legacy Of o half million to the institution.
None of them would object to his spending fifty
or seventy-fve thousand dollars on the purchase.
Of the property, &C., if he would assurcdly stop.
at that, but half million legacy left out of
the family, even of man whose estate is ten,
millions, is n serious thing to. contemplate
Hewitt, too, has the nightmare about Mr.. Coop
er's views on bondholders and greenbac in
AuenciDg the South.
1t is feared Mr.. Cooper will yield to the pres
sure and give up the scheme of purchasing tho
Limestone property He was hurried through
the whole Southern trip by his party, lest he
should become interested in the section. We,
| at least, do not owe Mr.. Hewitt any thanks, but
we must feel kindly toward Mr.. Cooper for his
benevolent intentions. If he was younger
