BY UNIVERSAL ACCORD.

AYERS CAruAnr1c PILLS are the best of
all purgatives for family use. They are
the product OF long, laborious, and sue
cessful chemical investigation, and their
extensive use, by Physicians in their prac-
ticc, and by all civilized nations, proves
them the best and most etfectual purgative
Pill that medical science can devise.
Being purely vegetable no harm can arise
from their use. In intrinsic value and
curative powers no other Pills can be
compared with them and every person,
knowing their virtues, will employ them,
when needed. They keep the system in
perfect order, and maintain in healthy
action the whole machinery oflife. Mild,
searching and effectual, they are specially
adapted to the needs. of the digestive ap-
paratus, arrangements of which they
prevent and cure, if timely taken. They
are the best and safest physic to employ
for children and weakened constitutions,
where a mild, but effectual, cathartlc is
required.

The UNDERSIGNED takes this occasion toreturn his thanks
to the people Of Yankton particularly, and to his many
friends throughout Dakota and Nebraska, for the generous
DUDLEY & HAWLEY through the many years in which
that firm has carried on business in this city, and he now
desires to call the attention of these friends and that OF
the people generally to the enlarged facilities, more extern
sive assortment and more conmodious rooms, which the late
firm had provided and which he, as the successor of Dudley
& Hawley, now possesses.
In the line of the Hardware trade, and In the manufacture
of Tin, Copper and Sheet Iron Ware, he claims to have an es-
Enlistment equal in all respects to anything in the north
west, occupying three grand rooms, each 25xloo feet in ex-
tent.
In the future, by constant application to business, he hopes
to see the Hardware trade of the region which is naturally trib-
utary to to this point, conferred here, and shall spare no effort to
make it for the interest Of the people within this region, to pur-
chase their Hardware, Tinware, Copper and Sheet Iron ware,
Stoves, and all other articles in this line from

A PROMPT MAN.

People never tire, says "Causeur." in the
Transcript, of hearing stories Of the late
Colonel Isaac o. Barnes, of this city, whilom
United States Marshal of this district. BE
was a large man, fond of chatting with friends,
and possessed withal thin, piping, squeaky
voice that was all his own. He disliked re.
straint of any kind, and was specially averse
to religious services, chiefly because he had
to keep silent while they lasted. He had
an old friend-Mr. Kidder Marshall-tc
whom he was warmly attached, and when
Mr.. Marshall died, felt it his duty to attend
the funeral, which took place at Fitchburg
1t was hot, sticky day in summer, and the
ride from Boston in the cars was any thing
but pleasant. Arrived at the house Of the
deceased friend, he found large gathering
in the parlor, which was warm and close
The Colonel wedged himself into an armchair
several sizes too small for his ample person
settled himself as best he could, and "6geted.'
It so chanced that two clergymen conducted
the services, which were so protracted that two
hours had passed before the last "amen" had
been said. In the midst Of the solemn pause
that followed it, Colonel Barnes, who could
"hold in" no longer, turned to the gentleman
next him, and, in voice pitched in high
key, said, "Did you know Kidp II did, y

and he was mighty smart fellow, too," con.

his forehead "if he'd had the running of this
funeral, he'd been under ground an hour and

"A CURIOSITY FoR~THE CHnDRRN.-On
the mantelpiece of my grandmothers best par
lor, among other marvels, was an apple in q
vial, and it, quite filed up the bottle Child.
ish wonderment constantly was, Chow could
it have got there 2" By stealth I climbed q
chair to see if the bottle would unscrew, or if
there had been joint in the glass throughout
the vial. Iwas satisfied by careful observa-
ton that neither Of thesetheories could be
supported and the apple remained to me an
enigma and mystery One day, walking
in the garden, I.saw it ALL, There, on tree,
was vial tied; and within it tiny apple
which was growing within the crystal The
apple was put into the bottle while it was
little, and it grew there. More than thirty
years ago we tried this experiment with
cucumber. We laid bottle on the ground
by hill of cucumbers, and placed a tiny
cucumber in the bottle to sec what would be
the result. It grew till it filed the bottle,
when we cut; it from the, stem, and then filed
the bottle with alcohol and corked it up tight.
We have it now, all as fresh, with the little
pickers on it, as it was when first corked up.

THE IMPROVING SOUTH

While Republican papers and emissaries
are drawing frightfnl pictures of the South,
and trying to force, under delusive promises,
an exodus of the too con6ding negroes Mr..
Edw. Atkinson and Mr., w. G. Morrill, show
very different state Of things in that section
Of our, common country. These gentlemen,
it is true, speak only of several Of the South
ern Atlantic States, but there, Is no doubt
much the same progress and Improvement in
most OF, all the, Southern States in the Mis-
sissippi Valley. The same reasons prevail
and the same economic laws are in operation.
MI. Atkinson, of Boston, who is well
known as a political economist, and thorough.
", reliable as, to any. statements he makes OF
his own experience, says the testimony he OBJ
tained on his way to the South was to 1.-The
effect that the, negroes, were lazy, dissolute
and dishonest, but he found at Charleston,
Savannah and everywhere. as he. travelled
along, an industrious, contented and well-to-
do people. Gangs of colored men were earn.

abundant and cheap. How would our COM

Of earning such wages and of living as cheap

Of the city CSavannah), andshe says he was
much struck with the order and cleanliness
Of these poor quarters as compared with the
disorder and kith' Of the poor quarters Of New
York and Boston. In travelling through
South Carolina and Georgia be found marked

which was brought about within the last two
years that is to say, since the grip Of the
Radical Republican politicians and carpet

tween the two races, which were mostly TO-
mented by the Radical Republican whites for
political ends, have been surmounted. In
this we have the true reason why many OF
the blacks now vote with the whites. The
South is improving generally, and it Is the
land Of plenty, notonly where thenegroes need
not suffer, but where all can get good wages,
can save money if they choose, can even be.

s@ A writer in the Weekly Tribune says
that he hunted last year cabbage-worms till
he nearly crippled his back. One day a
neighbours wife came in and: told him to use
tea made Of cayenne pepper, to sprinkle the
cabbages with twice day. He applied it,
and bis cabbages and back were saved. He
watched the millers and they would not light
