Sate and Sure.

 MR. II. R. STEVENS.
 Tn 1872 your Vegetine was recom- mended to me; aid, yicleing to the persuasions of friend, I consented t, try it. At the .ime I was suffering from general debility and nervous prostration, superinduced overwcrk and irregular habits. It wonderful strengthening and curative properties seemed to affect my debilitated system from the first dose; and under it's per more than usual health and good feel ing. Since then I have not hesitated to give Vegetine my most unqualified powerful agent ill promoting health and restoring the wasted system to new life and energy. Vegetine is the only medicine use, and as long as l live never expect to find better.

 The following letter from Rev. G. ". Mansfield, formerly pastor of the Meth odist Episcopal Church, Hyde Park, and al present settled in Lowell, must convince every one who reads his letter of the wonderful curative qualities of Vegetine as a thorough cleanser and purifier of the blood.
 HYDE PARK, MAss., Feb. 15, 1876. MR. H. R. STEVENS.
 Dear Sir,--About ten years ago my health failed through the deepening effects of dys oepsia; nearly year later 1 was attacked by typhoid-fever in its worst form. It settled in my back and took the form of a large deepseated abscess, which was fifteen months in gathering. had two surgical opera tions by the best skill in the State, but received no permanent cure. l suffer- ed great pain at times, and WIS con- stantly weakened by profuse dis charge. l also lost small pieces of bone at different times.
 Matters ran on thus about seven years, till May, 1874, when a friend recommended me to go to your office and talk with you of the virtue of Veg etine. I did so, ann by your kindness passed through your mandatory. not ing the ingredients, &c., by which your remedy is produced.
 By what saw and heard 1 gained some confidence in Vegetine.
 1 commenced taking it soon after, but felt worse from it's effects; still persevered, and soon felt it was bene- fitting me in other respects. Yet did not see the results desired till l had taken it faithfully for little more than year. when the difficulty in the back was cured; and for nine months have enjoyed the best of health.
 have in that time gained twenty five pounds of flesh, being heavier than ever before in my life, and 1 was never more able to perform labor than now. During the past few weeks l had a scrofulous swelling as large as my fist gathering on another part of my body, I took yegetine faithfully, and it removed it level with the surface in a month. 1 think 1 should have been cured of my main trouble sooner if had taken larger doses, after having become accustomed to its effects. Let your patrons troubled with scrof- ula or kidney disease understand that it takes time to cure chronic diseases and, if they will patiently take Vege- tine, it will, ill my judgment, cure them.
 With great obligations am Yours very truly,

SONGS UNSUNa.

'Tis not the harp's wild string alone
Whose music charms the favished breast;
The thought OF a remembered tone
The singing of a bird that's flown,
Oft fills us with deep unrest
Which musics most consummate art
Can never waken in the heart.
Within the masters teeming brain
What chord has swelled, what anthem thriv
en-,
Struggled for utterance in vain,
Cried out for life, but died again,
Unknown but to its native heaven.
And left the mourning sons OF earth
To find above it's perfect birth!
Within each separate human soul
Live melodies that sweeter are !,
Than those which solemn organs roll,
Or silver tongued singers troll,
Or morning star cries out to star,
but chilled by the dark worlds eclipse
They die before they reach the lips.

distinguished herself by her exertions In be-
going on the lecture platform and proclaim

would cost considerable sums of money,

ALL KNOW that the Democrats have
now the control of South Carolina, and
we call the attention of the Republican,
the friend of Ex-Governor Chamberlain,
to few points in regard to the reforms
the Democrats have instituted since their
return to power. The expenses Of the
STATE Legislature are particularly in
point. In 1s70-71 the total expenses of
the South Carolina Republican Legisla-
ture were, in round numbers, eight hun
dred aud twenty-five thousand dollars
in 1912, one million five hundred and
thlrty-three thousand dollars in 1928,
nine hundred and eight thousand dollars
in 1874, nine hundred and twenty-five
thousand dollars. In 1877, under tie
new Democratic regime, they were al
once reduced to SS4,O9G. Again, it i.
worthy ofnote hat since 1876 when the re-
publican administration was overthrown
the attendance of colored children in th,
public schools of the State has increase,
nearly thirteen thousand over the NUN
Der attending during the Republican
regime. To the unbiased mind it will
perhaps not be thought surprising, in th
light Of these facts, that there are not
few negroes in South Carolina intelligen
enough to vote with the Democrats.

A Strange Robbery.

The Room Of Lddy Entered, and
Robbed, While Soc is Chtorofouhed.
A robbery, most singular in all u e
C rcumstances surrounding it, has just
been made known in Boston, where IL
happened, on the 18th instant. A retin-
ed and attractive widow lady, of New
York, on he day mentioned, was paid
sum of money in the Boston railroad de-
pot by a gentleman with whom she had
some transactions in regard TO property.
While in the waiting room, counting The
money she noticed man scanning her
face, who withdrew when he noticed
that he had attracted her attention.
Coming out of a store the same after
noon, she encountered the same man
again. From the fremont House where
she stopped, she vent to the Boston
Theatre in the evening, accompanied by
gentleman friend, from New York
whom she CHANGED TO meet IN Boston.
She there observed the strange man
watching her with pair of opera glasses.
J That night she placed the roll OF money
in the bottom of her trunk, locked IL and
placed the key under shawl OH the bu-
reau. She thinks it was about two
o'clock in the morning when she awoke
to find man standing by her bedside,
with a revolver pointed at her head. A
wet clo h was applied to her face and
she then became unconscious. In the
morning the robbery was discovered and
the room door found to have been pred
open, notwithstanding that it was secure
ly fastened. The affair has created con-
siderable excitement in Boston, and the
lads story is believed by all who have
heard il. The officers are in search OF
the strange man who so persistently fol
lowed the lady about.

COURT EXPENsEs.-County Treasurer
Herbert furnishes the GAZETTE with a
statement of the cost of the late term of
the county courts, which 1t will be OBJ
served is S5,275.79, less by 81, ,l4S.94 than
the November term of 1877, when there
were so many witnesses summoned by
the temperance societies. The cost of the
late term was increased by the mistake in
not calling the Court of Oyer and Termi-
ner in proper time, as witnesses bad to
be summoned twice. The cost of the
May term, 1878, was only S3,G73.45. 1t
will be seen that the cost for attendance
of Justices Of the Peace and constables
is Sl23.46. This is held to be useles,
and superfluous matter, and the Legisla
ture ought to repeal the clause in the law
under which they are regularly summon
