Is the great remedy that physicians appeal TO


and use almost entirely IN all diseases Of the
Liver. There are thousands at the present time
that are suffering with the rheumatic pins In


the joints, caused By the use of CslOmel which
has crested disease Of its own worse than that
which it was intended 10 cure. There is no
drug that leaves its mark more prominent in
| the system. Yet, perhaps, there are times when
il can be given, and have benifcisi effect, lIt
should not be dealt out as 1t has been, and is at


the present time, by those that pretend to know


what they are doing, but in reality do not. The
Liver is more liable TO disease than any other
organ in the human system, and when that fails
to do its duty it leaves the weak points of the
body exposed as the bile 10 not thrown of, but
taken up by the blood, as it passes through this
great filter OF the system, and becomes impure.
Then follows a train of diseases, whose name is
Legion. There many that suffer from pain


in the side and across the body, dull, heavy,


drovsy feeling, headache, pain in the right side,


often severe pain in the bowels, costiveLess, fat


ulence diArr hea, or less indigestion, loss OF


appetite, saIlow skin, white Of the eyes yellow,


sinking of fiesh, depression of spirits, at other
| times a great craving for food. Some of these


symptoms are caused only by torpidity Of the
| Liver. 1t is impossible TO give all the symptoms
| Of deranged Liver, and they are all cureabie


without the aid of CaIomel.

port them and herself At the end of two
years she had become one of the most pop

voice supplementing her rare beauty with
great effect. So remarkable were her vocal
powers that Madame Viardot Garcia, one
OF the best singing teachers in the world
volunteered to prepare her for grand opera,
and for some time Miss Stanley was one of
her favorite pupils But the prospect of a
return to America was too attractive. In
person she is an exquisitely propc,tioned
blonde, with masses Of golden hair, dark
eyes, a stately but not pondeIous carria ge
like that OF MarH am, and a charming III

girl, and will ere ate marked impression,
not only by her lhysical charms, but by the

great highway to which General For
rest is giving his best efforts found ex-
preston to. day in a vote for the $780,
600 aid asked for by the friends of what
is to be the Memphis and Selma
railroad. There was no particular
excitement at the polls, for the reason
that the project had been fully dis
Cussed, and all were unanimous
that we could not afford to be sur
passed or beaten by Chulahoma, the
people of which have expressed them
selves very anxious to have the road
pass through or near by its precincts.
The election was conducted in a very
quiet way, and resulted in a
vote of 356 for and only seven
against. We hope that the sum thus
voted by Holly Springs, added to
the 5000, 900 certain to be voted by
Marshall county, will secure the road
to US, and give US the direct COM
munieation with Memphis which we
so much need. This road will secure
$4,000 bales of cotton extra to you.

From the Savannah News of the 15th.l


While the steamer Nick King, run
ming regularly between this city and
Jacksonville, FlOriea, was lying al
Darien, on a recent trip, and just be-
fore leaving that port, she was sud-
denly boarded by q large party Of
armed negroes, and her Captain in
formed that he would not be permit
ted TO proceed on his voyage until he
had complied with their demand,
which was to pay one Of the party the
sum Of eight dollars and costs, which
he claimed as due by the steamer.
The Captain resisted the unreasonable
demand for some time, but finding
the invaders desperate and deter
mined, he complied, in order to pro-
ceed on his way with as little trouble
and annoyance as possible.


The whole difficulty, we learn, grew
out Of the conduct Of q negro who had
been employed as a hand on the Nick
King. A gentleman WelLknoWn in
this city, had lost packages, ETC., OF
considerable value, and suspicion
pointing to this negro, his trunk was
examined and found to contain the
missing property. The affair has
certainly been some time maturing,
and the villains selected the most isO-
lated landing at which the steamer
stops, where there are fewer persons
on hand, and less chance to be pre-
vented from the psrPstratiOn Of their
laWlessness than st any other point
between Savannah and Jacksonville.
Every one Of the pirates should be
hunted down and punished as be de-
serves to be.
