That I have taken away this old man's daughter la most true : true I have married her. As I can prove by the officiating clergyman, Who is a justice of the peace down in Her- kimer. By your patience I will a plain, unvarnished tale deliver Of my whole course of ioye ; what drugs, what charms. What conjuration, and what mighty mag ic For such proceedings I am charged withal I won his daughter with. Her father loved toe ; not a continental ' Did I care for the old man's loye, But I pretended to reciprocate hia affection, And in this way did I make myself A very Muldoon with him in' solidity; He oft invited me to tett the story of my life, , From-year to year, the battles, eeiges, for tunes. Etcetera, and so forth, and bo on, With which I had: beenetnmng him.. I ran it.through e'en from my boyish dfcys, And you tan bet yonr sweet lives That I spread it on pretty thick ; I spoke of most disastrous chances, But did not stop to say they were with A confounded constable who wanted me For the small offence of jumping a board- bill : Of moving accidents by flood and field ; Of hair-breadth 'scapes in the imminent deadly breach. Or some other place that I had read of ; Of being taken by the insolent loe And sold to slavery ; of my redemption thence, And with it all my travel's history, Omitting that part when. I was introducing The North American Corn and Bunion Eradicator, Warranted to remove corns and bunions Without pain or loss of bleod. All these did the old gent swallow, And to hear which would Desdemona seri- ""irasly incline - -But 6till the house aftaira would draw her thence, Although in this I now suspect my Desde mona Did dissemble, for since we married sie I find she can no more a flap-jack bake Than I can cope with Hercules ! Anon she'd come again, and with a greedy ear Deyour up my discourse ; and free Am I to swear that hers was the Nicest ear in town, and ofttimes did I wish I might in turn devour it. One day the gentle maid with earnest heart requested That I would all my pilgrimage dilate Whereof parcels she had something heard But not distinctly. This waa great leather, and all at once I did consent. My story was immense, And it took me four nights a week For three years to tell it. When at length the tale was done, She gave me for my pains a world of sighs, She swore in faith 'twas strange, 'twas pass ing strange ; 'Twas pitiful, 'twas wondrous pitiful, And laid over anything she had ever heard before Bv a laree maioritv. She wished she had cot heard : yet Bhe wished That heaven had made her such a man. She thanked me. And bade me, if I had a friend that loved her I should but teach him how to tell my story, And that would woo her. This was a complete give-away ; That is to say, tumble did I to the rackef , And we were wed forthwith, So there's the long and short of it. OBSERVATIONS. The first white woman who wnt to Tex as.

C, TUESDAY, THE CABARJEIUS TROUBLE. "H." Replies' to Col; Means Last Card. Editor Charlotte Observer : Before this matter is closed. I desire to have a word or two more to sav. At the outset let me make a plain state ment of the affair.. The township meet ings held on the 15th ult were called by the county executive committee. and were held according to the rules wnicn govern me democratic party in this county, after being advertised sev eral times in the Concord papers. The meetings were the largest, generally, "known in this county for many years. Af il i 1 x . i . . . ui me tweive towns nipa eignt pieageu themselves for M5 Odell, and four to Col Means. This of course insured Odell's nomination. Which of the two gentlemen, you suppose, wanted the convention broken up ? Mr Odell ? No, sir! When Mr Odell s friends desired to have a word in the convention, their voices were drowned in the uproar produced by Col Means' friends, and Mr Odell himself could not be heard until Col Means got up and asked his friends to be quiet. It is decidedly poor logic to argue iu the face of the above facts and even a lawyer's skill cannot make it appear possible that Mr Odell's friends broke up the con. vention, or helped to do it. A lact which will pear weight aeamst Col Means as that men of the best and 1 T a: Li 1 bluest Lmuuiauu jriuoipies iu uaoar- rus, ana who, up to the time of the convention, had been true to his cause, are now marching under tie other banner, and they give as their reason for so doing that Mr Odell received the majority of the townships, and would have been declared the nominee had the convention gone on undis turbed. Col Means says "everyone in the convention, not blinded by prejudice, must admit that some of Mr Odell's friends were just as responsible as mine for the noise,'' and after thump ing his head actually finds one Odell man who did make some noise by fir ing fire-crackers. Mr Cyrus Johnston fired them, and I am privileged by him to say that he tired them in the court house lot, after the convention had adjourned. Two fights had previ ously occurred in the court room above, and these fights were first inau gurated by Means men. The proposition of Messrs Means and Ludwick, as Col Means says in his card, for the convention "to authorize Mr Odell and me" both to run, dis tanced the 8-to-7 Washington count, and certainly shows a magnanimity on their part characteristic of these pa triotic men. In Washington 8 beat 7. In Concord the rule is reversed to see if 4 can't beat 8, for Mr Odell came into the convention with eight of the twelve townships pledged to his sup port. In regard to the joint certificate of Means and (ioodmght, it is only an ad ditional feature not before explained, and shows that the conference in his room was more lengthy and deliberate than one would suppose by reading Esq Goodnight 8 first certificate, and 1 doubt not that it would take seve ral more certificates to cover all that was said on that occasion. This much for the 85 names on Mr Ne well's lists : Why did not those men attend the township meetings and as sert their claims, and not produce such a paper on the morning of the conven tion ? This of itself looks as if it were an effort to complicate matters at the convention, and that there are two other papers besides the one in my possession shows that 'other men be sides those on tne nrst 11st knew 01 the approaching squall. ' Mr Ransom ICluttz, from the town ship which sent up these: 85 names and one of Col Means' strong support ers and a delegate to the convention, says he waa informed a week before that an attempt would be made to break up the convention by the Means men, and in consequence of this infor mation staid at home and did not come near the court house. Mr Dave Pariah, of No 11 township, another Means supporter, stated to t friend of mine that he was not surpris ed at the result of the convention, for he knew a week beforehand that such would be the result. At Harrisbure. a few days after the convention. Mr Taylor Bitch, one of Mr Means' friends, said in the presence of four gentlemen, that ColMeans ask ed him if he was going to the conven tion. He replied that he was not a delegate, and saw no use in going. when Col Means remarked to him "Yes, you must come, and bring all your friends, for we are going to break it up." It js evident, then, jthat from all the above the fact that the, convention was to be broken up was pretty generally known. I think that I have jnow done with Col Means' card. I sax it earnestly, that if there was a solitary Odell man in that -convention Saturday who mis behaved or created any disturbance until after a late hour, when it had be come evident that the convention was a failure, and that their silence would avail nothine, then I do not know the man, nor have I seen anyone who does know him. I sent my telegram aa a reporter, not as a partisan, and my conduct since in the matter shows that 1 have been wil ling to let Col JMeansr Bpeak for his friends and defend them. How weil he has accomplished , this the public may judge. . - Ji. Concord, July 8, 1878. Goes Regularly and Gets There Early. ShotwelPs Farmer and Mechanic.

Especially are the facili ties of this Infirmary of a superior order as regards the remedial means and appliances for the cure of all those chronic diseases peculiar to females. The employment, In moderation, of tonic, chemical, electro-thermal, and other approved baths, is in many cases an invaluable auxiliary to the remedial means to which we resort In such cases. Dry friction to the surface, general" shampooing, Swedish move ments, and light callsthenic exercises, to enliven and equalize the circulation of tlie blood In the system, relieve congested parts, Improve digestion, and strengthen the muscles, produce important beneficial results in all cases to which these means are applica ble. No experimenting is resorted to in the treat ment. The most approved medicines are carefully employed, and the judicious regulation of the diet, to suit the condition of tlie patleift, tlie thorough ven tilation of the sleeping apartment, the cheering In fluence of music, social intercourse. Innocent games for amusement, and all those agencies widen tend to rouse tlie mind of tlie patieiy from despondency, and thus promote recovery, are not neglected. NEKVOC8 DISEASES. Paralysis, Epilepsy (Fits), Chorea (St. Vltus's Dance), and other nervous affec tions, receive the attention of an expert in this pe clalty, by which the greatest skill is attained and the most nappy results secured.
