If Pestered by an Eruption, use
GLENN's SULPHUR SOAP, the ruling
specific for diseases, irritations and
abrasiOns of the skin, and q most salu-
tary beautitier of the complexion.
This admirable article is an inexpen-
siYe substitute for sulphur baths, and
is equally as effective in banishing
cutaneOus maladies, and relieving the
pangs of rheumatism and govt. Red
ness and rOughness, tan, freckles, PIN
pies, and indeed every inperfection of
the cuticle is entirely removed by it,
1t is avouched, 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
promoting properties are widely recogs
niZed by medical men, and evidence
in its behalf, emanating from other
and equally respectable sources, pre-
Cludes any reasonable doubt as to the
genuiness Of its claims to pubic con-
tidence. Clothing and linen from the
sick room are disiEfected by it, and it
prevents cOntagion when the danger
of obnoxious diseases has been incurr-
ed by contact. Sores and ulcers, that
resist the operations of salyes and
lotions. are healed by it, and it soon re-
lieves 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 ease the circu-
lation when overheated, and carry off
those offensive granulations which dis
figure the cuticle and render existence
a state of martyrdom while they re-
main. Erupticns, ailments that oint-
ments will not cure, are entirely
eradicated by GLENN's SULPHUR SOAP.

We do not believe in making light of the

to be mere political automatons. We

resignation in full, stating briefly, but ex-
plicitly, the reasons of his retirement
reasons that commend themselves at once
to the intelligent approval of his friends,
but render it none the less cause of re-
greet that he. should feel compelled to leave
position which he had SO long and highly
honored:
Davenport, IA, May &c.
To THE PREsIDENT-I hereby tender
my resignation Of the Office Of circuit Judge
of the United States for the Eighth judi
cial circuit, to take effect on the lst day of
September, 1879. The date thus fixed
will enable me to attend the rest of the
summer circuits to dispose of the unfnish-
ell business before me, and will likewise
enable my successor, should he be nomin-
ated and confirmed before congress ad-
journs, to qualify in time to hold the earIi-
est of the tall terms. In voluntarily ter
minstiDg judicial career of nearly twenty
one years on he state and federal bench,
it seems fitting to add that | take this step,
not because l am dissatisfied with the
duties of the office, but because | have
recently been honored by an election to a
place of commanding usefulness in Column
bia college, where the labors are lighter,
the compensation greater, and which also,
in the leisure it affords me, as we'll as 10
the duties it requires, offers opportunities
for the study and advancement of the law
that may we'll satisfy the highest profess
sional ambition. l have the honor to be,
with the highest regard,

CRUSHED TO DEATH terrible acct
dent occurred on Mr.. Jno. Reuss' Germa-
mia place, in the first ward, Thursday
evening about 5 o'clock, by which an
estimable young man, Mr.. w. F. Orcutt,
lost his life, and Mr.. Reuss had q narrow
escape from death. While repairs were
being made to the sugar-house and
large beam was being raised into posi-
ton, the timber fell, crushing Mr.. Or
cult beneath it, injuring him SO severely
that he died next morning. Mr.. Reuss
was struck on the side Of the face by the
falling beam and knocked down, receiv-
ing severe and painful confusion. Had
he been standing three or four inches
further forward under the beam, he
would inevitably have met the same sad
fate that befel Mr.. circuit. The young
man whose life was sacrificed by this
unfortunate casualty was q most estima-
Bile gentleman, highly respected and be-
loved by all who knew him. He was
employed as overseer on the plantation,
and was an energetic and capable man
ager. What makes his untimely taking
off the more lamentable is, that he was
engaged to be married, the date Of the
happy event having been set for some
time in October, and neat little resi-
dence intended for the occupation Of the
young couple had just been completed.
The remains of Mr.. Orcutt were inferred
at Bayou Goula to-day. The CHIEF ex-
tends its heartfelt sympathies to the
bereaved friends of the deceased.
