McXANE'S Celebrated American WORM SPECIFIC OR VERMIFUGE. SYMPTOMS OF WORMS. THE countenance is pale and lead en-colored, with occasional flushes, or a circumscribed spot on one or both cheeks ; the eyes become dull ; the pupils dilate ; an azure semicircle runs along the lower eye-lid ; the nose is irritated, swells, and sometimes bleeds ; a swelling of the .upper lip ; occasional headache, with humming or throbbing of the ears ; an unusual secretion of saliva ; slimy or furred tongue ; breath very foul, particularly in the morning ; appetite variable, sometimes voracious, with a gnawing sensation of the stomach, at others, entirely gone ; fleeting pains in the stomach ; occasional nausea and vom iting; violent pains throughout the abdomen ; bowels irregular, at times costive ; stools slimy, not unfrequant ly tinged with blood ; belly swollen and hard ; urine turbid ; respiration occasionally difficult, and accompa nied by hiccough; cough sometimes dry and convulsive ; uneasy and dis turbed sleep, with grinding of the teeth ; temper variable, but generally irritable, &c. Whenever the above symptoms are found to exist, DR. C. McLANE'S VERMIFUGE will certainly effect a cure. fc IT DOES NOT CONTAIN MERCURY in any form ; it is an innocent prepa; ration, not capable of doing tlu slightest injury to the most tender infant. The genuine Dr. McLanE's Ver1 mifuge t)ears the signatures of XI. McLane and Fleming Bros, on the wrapper. :o: DR. C. MclANE S LIVER PILLS are not recommended as a remedy "for all the ills that flesh is heir to," but in affections of the liver, and in all Bilious. Complaints, Dyspepsia and Sick Head ache, or, diseases of that character, they stand without a rival. AGUE AND FEVER. i No better cathartic can be used prepar atory to, or after taking Quinine. As a sirrr? purgative they are un iff IMITATIONS. The genuine are never sugar cdated. Each box has a red wax seal on the lid, with the impression Dr. McLane's Liver Pills. Each wrapper bears the signatures of C. McLane and Fleming Bros. Insist upon having the genuine Dr. C. McLane's Liver Pills, prepared by Fleming Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa., the market being full of imitations of the name McLane, spelled differently but same pronunciation. ' Counsel. If thou dost bid thy friend farewell But for one night though that f arewelt may be. Press thou his palm with thine. How can'st thou tell How far from thee Fate or caprice may lead his feet Ere that to-morrow comes ? Men have been known To lightly turn the course of a street. And days have grown To months, and months to lagging years, Before they looked In loving eyes again. Parting at best is underlaid with tears With tears and pain. Therefore, lest sodden death should come between, Or time or distance, clasp with pressure true The hand of him who goeth forth; unseen, Fate goeth too! Yea, find thou alway time to say Some earnest word between the Idle talk; Lest with thee henceforth, ever, night and day, Regret should walk. OBSERVATIONS. If the republic Is ever destroyed by one family it will be the Smiths rather than the Grants. It is a noticeable fact that it Is always a man In his shirt-sleeves who asks for some one to tread on tue tail or nU coat. A young lady in Chicago, when asked by . an offi ciating minister, "Will you love, honor and obey this man as your husband and be to him a true wife?" said plainly, "Yes, if he does what he promised me financially." We have it on trustworthy authority that one well-known Fulton market butcher gives a blue pill gratis with every pound and a half of turkey he sells.

MACItEY INTERV IEWS GRA.1T. The Eccentric Judge's Report of the Conversation of firant. From the News and Courier. Coll'mbia, January 1. -Judge Mackey who lias come here to open court, trav elled from Chester to this city yester day in company with Gen. Grant, and gives some interesting details of his conversation with him, and of incidents on the road. lie states that there were crowds at all the depots along the route, composed of both whites and blacks, seeming chiefly to be attracted by curi osity. Some little enthusiasm was shown, and occasionally there was slight cheering. Grant said that he dis covered no difference in his reception in the South from what it was at the North, and expressed gratification at the welcome he had received, and the general spirit manifested. He said, however, that he attached no political significance to the demonstrations of this section, but attributed them to the kindly hospitality of the people. He asked as to the condition of the negroes and expressed his conviction that they did not seem oppressed, estimating the degree of their prosperity, at the sug gestion of the judge, in proportion to the broadness of the grins as the train passed. He also remarked on the evi dent amiable relations between the races and the mutual good-will and con fidence evidenced in the general inter mingling and good-natured rough and tumble jostling in the crowds about the railroad stations in pushing towards the train. He expressed considerable surprise at seeing so much equality in existence. He said that all the indica tions he had seen pointed to a reunited country and the fading away of section al feelings. He seemed to be convinced that Southern people are principally de voting themselves to the development of their own internal resources. At Columbia he remarked that he was the only living ex-President, and the Judge remarked that he might not bear that title a year from now. Gan. Grant said that a year from now Mr. Hayes would be still President, and Judge Mackey said : "Well, a year and a few months, may be." Judge Willard remarked that Judge Mackey was playing on the word3 "ex" and "next" President, and Grant said he understood, and seems to have shut up immediately and permanently. Grant pointed to a blaekened chimney as he entered the city and said, "There s one of Shermau's monuments." He seems to have talked at some length regarding the incidents of the war, speaking particularly of his interposi tion to prevent the threatened arrest and prosecution of all Confederate gen erals, of the humane treatment of Lee's army at Appomattox, and in preventing the destruction of private property by his army irv Virginia;' - O Gen. Grant asked if the Democratic party was not divided in this State, and the Judge says that he gave him very emphatic assurances to thecdntrary. He also developed ah interest on the subject of tissue ballots and said, that llampton's denunciation of them.w a bold step and gratified him, and 'was a virtual admission of their use. It being stated that the necessity for them exist ed occasionally for the preservation Af civilization he remarked, .rather jocu larly, that he hoped that the necessity wouldn't arise too frequently; A.B.W. : Tliree Ilve Cannibal,' .i.:Three live cannibals arrived at San "EVntinlnmY t. on rlavs aro on thft 4 "FYp.nrVh gunboat Xlamothe JPiquet.

STATE NEWS. Typhoid fever is spreading in Union county. J. C. Hoover and Miss Jennie Heim were married in Lincoln ton on the 31st. A special term of the Superior Court of Davidson and of Wake began yester day. The total amount of internal revenue receipts for the year ended December 31, 1879, in the fourth collection district are $874,636.53. At a glass ball shooting in Newton during the holidays, Dr. J. 11. Campbell won the prize by a score of 23 out of a possible 50. The Raleigh Observer states that amongst many splendid specimens ;of the Sampson Agricultural Fair sent to Col. Polk were two pumpkins weighing 106 pounds each. Mr. J. F. Houston having resigned the office of mayor of Monroe, the town commission ei-s have unanimously elect ed Mr. C. Austin to fill out the unex pired term. The Constitution is the name of a newspaper which appeared unannounc ed in Lincolnton last week. Neither the name of the editor nor the publish er is given. It starts off well, and is Democratic in principles. The Raleigh News says the legislative halls of the city of Raleigh were lighted last night by Professor Merrill's patent electric gasoline, and "the result showed that his efforts had arrived at a most admirable conclusion." Lincolnton : Constitution : The mili tary boys had a lively time last week. Lieut. Chas. F. Childs in command. Orderly Sergeant Sidney D. Hinson carried off the plume, and Private Wea ver the silver cup. Old Lincoln is proud of the Stars. Raleigh News : Messrs. Jas. R, Day & Co., of Durham, we are sorry to state, have been compelled to make an as signment. All indebtedness is fully se cured. The cause of the assignment is not stated, but is believed to be due to certain failures in the north. Wilmington Review : We are request ed to state that Rev. J. P. King, pastor of the Second Baptist church, who was charged with heterodoxy at the last session of the Eastern Association, and through the columns of the Biblical Re corder, will read his reply to-morrow (Sunday) night, January 4tn. Monroe Enquirer: The Christmas tree in the college chapel on Christmas eve night was "a thing of beauty." It was estimated by some that $400 would not cover the gifts that adorned its glit tering boughs, and made glad the hearts of the children and the old folks, grown young again. Newton Enterprise: Owing to the bad weather, we suppose, Col. McDow ell, of Charlotte, failed to fill his ap pointment on Tuesday of last week. A fair audience assembled at the court house at the appointed hour, however, and listened to addresses by Col. Mc Corkle and others. The friends of the stock law are sanguine of success. Major Robert Bingham, the head of the celebrated Bingham School, was in Monroe on the 20th of December, and delivered one of his lectures, "The Eng lish Speaking Race," in the college chap el in the eveningto a large and very ap preciative audience. The Express says the lecture was undoubtedly the great est literary treat had in Monroe in ma ny a day. Raleigh News: One of the most for getful men in Wake county is Geo. F. Stronach. Rummaging about his old clothes the other day he came across five $500 bills, the proceeds of a sale ef fected several years ago, he thinks, and about $400 of city scrip. Since the is sue of this scrip five different persons have filled the mayor's chair. Should this Swift Creek Rip Van Winkle keep on digging about his residence there is no knowing what lie will turn out a gold mine, perhaps, , 7 The Wilmington Star says: It will be remembered that in the year 1875 the New river oysters feroughfc to this city were nearly all tinged around the edges with greenish1 color, whic caused many to fear that tfiey were poisonous. This season they are affected in the same way, but we are assured by a gen tleman of intelligence, who has given the matter some attention, that it is owing altogether to a peculiarity in the tides, and that the green-hued oysters are just as ffood and just as free from anything deleterious as any that come to this market. A Dramatic Scene tn Court. It has already been stated that at Jer sey City, N. Ji on Wedaesday, ft verdict of guilty was rendered in the cases of John Halliard, ex-president; James W. Donelan, ex-secretary, and Patrick Shee nan and Adam J. Ditmar, the ex-directors of the insolvent Mechanics and La borer Savings Rank 6f Jersey-Cityon a charge of conspiracy to defraud tlepos itors by concealing the condition of the bank for a long time when they knew of its insolvency. The effect of the ver dict was dramatic, The faces of some of the prisoners tnrned pale, and others of them, who in their anxiety had risen to their feet, fell back in their chairs with a look of despair; Among the au dience were heard expressions of grati fication. Halliard alone displayed no trace of emotion, although in a year his hair has turned gray and his form become bent. Mr. Abbett, of counselfor the de fenders, gave notice that he intended to move for a new, trial whenever the the court was prepared . to hear argu ment. The jury were then discharged with the thanks of the court It is un derstood that after a general discussion of the evidence they took one ballot, which was unJaninious for, conviction. The1 defendants have all been conspicu ous men in Jersey City. Sheenan is a carriage builder, and is said to have amassed a fortune that recent reverses have impaired. He was elected last fall a member of the Legislature from the second or horseshoe district of Jersey City. James W. Dotielan, the ex-secrer tary, is the youngest of the defendants. He is the superintendent of the Catholle cemeteries in Hudson county and holds several honorary positions. Who is Parnell. Baltimore Sun.

And both the young and old are looking forward in bright expectancy, and with joyful hopes that some kind remem brance may be left as a token of friendship from some relative or friend. We trust that none will be disappointed, and that old Santa Claus will distribute his favors not only with a liberal hand, but will not show any partiality in his dis bursements. We are glad to see this time-honored custom increasing in favor with the people. We hope it will continue to grow, and this joy-giving time will be looked upon as one of the happiest and brightest days in the year. Let us all extend a willing hand and assist those who desire to carry out their part, but who, owing to numerous obligations and limited incomes, are deprived from contributing what they would be most willing to do if circumstances did not pre vent. Let not selfishness but liberality predominate. Be willing to divide a part of your own good fortune with those who are not so fortunate, and note the change your kindness produces. The gladness that speaks from the heart will be sufficient evidence of the joy within. There is not one of us who cannot contribute something. The gift may be hum ble ; that matters not ; it will be acceptable. We trust that not only our old friends but also our young friends will, while their hearts arc joyou3 and glad, not forget to add their mite to the happiness and pleasure of those who have not been so fortunate.
