Nothing Like If.

No medicine has ever been known in
the South so effectual in the cure of all
those diseases arising from an impure
condition of the blood as RosADALIs,
the Great Southern Remedy for the
cure of Scrofula, White Swellings,
Rheumatism, Pimples, Blotches, Erup-
items, Yenereal Sores and Diseas, 8, Con-
sumption, Goitre, BOils, Cancers, and
all kindred diseases. ROSADALIS
purifies the system, brings coler TO the
cheeks and restores the sufferer to a
normal condition OF health and vigor.
IL is asserted that the ordinary cos
meties used BY ladies are productive Of
great mischief. We believe this is SO,
and that better means of securing a
beautiful complexion is to use some
good blood medicine like ROSADALIS,
the Great Southern Remedy, which
eleanses the blood and gives permanent
beauty to the skin.

A sTRAgGE FRLENDsHIP

WAsHNGToS, July 1.-The warn
friendship which exists between Gen,
NJ. c. Butlor, Senator from South Car
Olina, and Don Cameron is well known
in Washington. The Southern Senator
bad, until the recent lease Of Cameron's
elegant house, q suit OF rooms in il
which were as much his as If he, in
stead Of Cameron. owned the house.
The Republicans have wondered at this
intimacy, but not nearly so much as
have the Democrats. The Republicans,
however, are ready to bless the tie that
binds, whatever 10 Is, because IL Sc
cures them from any political loss in
the Senate through Cameron's absence
in Europe. IL is known, whether that
absence be long or short, that on all pO-
liticRl questions Butler is paired with
Cameron. Some Of the Democratic
magnates have demonstrated with But
Ter. telling him that IL is a bad policy
TO make such indefinite pairs, but he
replies thar Don may stay as long as he
likes, and be sure that his pair is right.
Senator Butler doubtless reminds him
self that II Don Cameron had 50 gilled
10 Senator HamptsR would have mad a
Republican colleague all these six
years

Patented Nov. I'D, 1881.

We desire to call the attention of
the Farmers and Dealers to this
Shelter, which is just such an article
as every farmer should have. ie
1t combines shelter and separator
in one, discharging cobs, husks, &c.,
from one opening, and the corn,
nice and clean from another, into
a sack, box or barrel. 1t is easily
operated by one man or boy who
can shell and sack from eight to
twelve bushels per hour. It will
nub the corn for bread or seed and
leaves it as nice for planting as if
shelled by hand.
We offer no certificates or opinion
of others in regard to this shelter,
but put it entirely upon its own
merits, inviting the closest examina-
ton; which cannot fail to satisfy any
one of its superiority over all other
shelters. Every Shelter fully war
ranted for FIVE years. County
rights for sale. Agents wanted.

have been tested by many of the largest

once used, have established their merit.
No farmer, livery man or stock-owner

st. Paul Lacrosse Club.

The st. Paul Lacrosse club was organ
lied at a meeting held at the Merchants
hotel last evening with thirty odd mem
bers, and the following officers: DR.. Mac
donald, president; Thomas McCann, vice
president; G. W. Purdy, secretary; T.
Conaughton, treasurer, and A. A. Donnie,
captain.
The organization is the result of the To-
cation in this city of Capt. A. A. Dennie,
the general agent of John Endres
& Co., distillers and importers of wines
and liquors, and one of the most noted
Lacrosse players in this country, having
won for himself the reputation of being
the best point in this country, if not in
the world. Capt. Donnie is a native of
Canada, in which Lacrosse is the national
game, as base ball is in this, and has been
an active player for the past thirteen
years, having become especially prominent
from his captaining a picked club
of western players, which last season
Won eighteen of twenty, one games played
with leading eastern clubs.
The game is of Indian origin, and is
played by twenty-f four persons, twelve GA
side. 1t is played with rubber ball nine
inches in circumference, whick is handled
by bat from four to i've feet and half
in length, curved and notched at one end
upon which the ball is picked and
thrown. The game consists of
getting the ball through wickets
six feet apart at either end of the field,
covering space of one hundred, or more,
yards. The positions of the players, are
goal keepers" guarding the wicksts to
stop the BALL, points, "eover point and
felders, six on each side. The game is
more exciting than base ball, all the TWEEN
ty-four players being actively engaged all
the time, and each player having the saHae
opportunity to distinguish himself. It was
only introduced into the United
States some three years age, during which
tune over $50 clubs have been organized.
In the same time nearly 200 clubs have
been organized in. England, and its popa-
larity as healthful recreation ana eRcit-
ing sport is steadily increasing.
The new st. Paul club is composed of
young men, principally clerks, who have
gone into it for the outdoor exercise it
gives. For the meetings of the club DR..
Macdonald, its president, has teHderea the
use of his Office, Third and Waba-
shaw street. The next meeting ia to be
held Wednesday next, and the firsttpractiee
game Saturday afternoon, the Goth.
The following comMittee to solicit addi-
