SIMMONS LIVER RE- UI.AToR during the YELLOW
FEVER EPIDEMIC in Savannah, Georgia. in the
summer and fall of 1876 desire to make the follow
ing statement: That during the aforesaid Epldem-
ic, we used the medicine known Simmons Liver
Regulator, prepared by j. IL Zeilin a Co., and
though exposed to the worst miasmatic Influences
OF the Yellow Fever by going in and coming out of
Savannah at different hours of the night, and also
in spending entire nishts in the city during the
prevalence OF his most FATAL EPIDEMIC, with but
the single exception of one of us, who was taken
sick, but speedily recovered, we continued in our
usual good health, circumstance we can account
for in no other way but by the effect, under Provi-
dence, of the habitual and continued use of Sim
mons Liver Regulator while we were exposed to
this Yellow FeAer malaria.

majority in the next senate will pc ten or

The great struggle at the September
and October elections was for members OF
the house. The contests for congressman
in Maine. Ohio, Indiana, and Iowa having
resulted 80 much more disastrousy for the
Republicans than their leaders predicted.
the party has evidently abandoned the
hope of carrying majority OF the lower
branch of the next congress. ~A
In the present house the democrats have
I55 members, and the republicans l3S,
giving the former a majority of IL. At
the recent elections this fall the republic
cans suffered loss Of ten members. In
the present house they have fourteen rep
resentatives from the former slavehoiding
states. We doubt if they will elect
more than four from those states on
Tuesday. This will be q republican
loss of ten members in the south.
We presume the republicans will find
| it impossible to retain all of their present
seventeen members in Pennsylvania, eleven
in Illinois and five in Wisconsin,. Two
years ago the msjorities BY which they car
ried some of the representatives were ex-

crate calculation to say that they are now
likely to lose at least five of their members
in those three states. Here, then, we have
total republican loss Of twenty five.
Is any portion Of this loss likely to be
made up by a gain Of republican represen-
tatives? 1t begins to be generally believed
that the republicans will gain one member
in New Hampshire, one in Massachusetts,
one in Connecticut, three in New York anG
one in New Jersey, making total of seven
This, if our estimates are correct, woulC

with their numbers 10 the present house
to stand at eighteen. If this be an accu

tons, it would place the republican mem
bership of the next house at 100, and thu
democratic membership with their green
back allies at 173. giving an anti-republi
can majority Of So. This majority is large
than has generally been anticipated. Blu

FAIRLY CAUGHT.

A few evenings since, a party was givel
at the house of of one of our prominent citi
zens. One of tbs guests was most ch arm
ing and accomplished lady who had worr
the weeds of widowbood two years
| another was gentleman but recently COM
to our tewn, native of Wilmington. Del
The amusements of the evening wer.
varied and thoroughly enjoyable but tht
chief attraction proved, by delightful
event, to be the game of bassino. Several
had tried their skill at the board, with
varying, fortunes, when the gentleman and
the lady referred to, approached the table
and the gentleman suggested to bis parts
ner that they should try their skill at the
pins. The challenge was accepted, and the
lady playfully proposed that they play for
wager. The gentleman gallantly assent
ed, and asked her to name the stake. See
ing her confusion, the host jokingly said :
"His hand against yours !'
The lady demurred, and was turning to
leave the table, when the gentleman, after
a moments thought, said.
"My hand for yours, if I win; or at your
disposal for any young lady of respectability
Cher consent being first obtained,) If
lose."
A proposition SO gallant the lady could
not resist, for the gentleman was q prize,
whoever might win him. Excitement now
ran high, h,-all other amusements being sus-
pended, as the company gathered around
the bassino board. The lady was reputed
skillful with the mace, but the gentleman
knew nothing about the game, yet possess
ed an admirable GOODNESS, which was almost
an offset for iaexperience. The lady led off
getting "king strike." and the gentleman
followed, missing little bassino, and making
a "muff'' with the third ball. A laughing
sensation was indulged in when tie
score for the fiRst play was announced
''lady, 45 and bassino spare gentleman,
minus 49," Nothing daunted, s.
continued the play, followed with equal
spirit by the fair antagonist, until near the
close of the game-aftcr the seventh play,
when the score gentleman 215,

guests was now intense; ard the lady,
lushed and trembling, played very badly

lose of the tenth and last play, the score

'e the best score ever made in town. A de- |
;orous applause followed the announce>
nent and the lady covered with confusion, |
carce had presence of mind enough to ac-
,nowl 1ge the low bow of So, who
aurmurmed few sentences expressive of
oy. The hostess now advanced, took the
eebly resisting hand of the fair widow, and
laced it in that of the winning gentleman.
md we hear that the latter ceremony is to
e repeated with more solemnity, some few
1onths hence, due notice of which will be
ublished in the "Register." The mace
