McLANE'S Celebrated American WORM SPECIFIC OR VERMIFUGE. SYMPTOMS OF WORMS. THE countenance is pale and leaden-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 unfrequent 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. IT DOES NOT CONTAIN MERCURY e in any form ; it is an innocent prepa ration, not capable of doing the slightest injury to the most tender infant. The genuine Dr. McLane's Ver mifuge bears the signatures of C. 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. No better cathartic can be used prepar atory to, or after taking Quinine. As a simn purgative they are un equaled. L7Ji r F IMITATIONS. The genuine are never sugar coated. 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. When the Cows Come Heme. WhenkUngle, klangle, klinglO, ' Ear down the dusky dingle, The cows are-eemlng home; How sweet and clear, and faint and low, The airy tinkling come and go Like chlmings from the far-off tower, Or patterlngs of an April shower That" makes the daisies grow. , Ko-ling, ko-lang, ko-Ungle-lingle, Par down the darkening dingle - The cows come slowlr home; And old-time friends, and twilight plays, And starry nightsand sunny days. Come trpoplnjt'qpltha misty ways. When the cows come home. With jingle, jangle, jingle. Soft tunes that sweetly mingle, The cows are coming home, Malrlne, and Pearl, and Florimer DeKamp, Beed Rerse, and Gretchen Schelly Queen Bess, and Sylph, and Spangled Sue, Across the fields I hear her loo oo, And klang her silver bell; Go-ling, go-lang, go-lingle-dlngle, With faint, far sounds that mingle, The cows come slowly home. And mother sings of long gone years, And baby-joys, and childish fears. And youthful hopes, and youthful tears, When the cows come home. With ringle, rangle, ringle, ' By twos, and threes, and single, The cows are coming home; Through violet air we see the town, And summer sun a-sllpping down, And the maple In the hazel glade Throws down the path a longer shade ; And the hills are growing brown To-ring, to-rang, to-ringle-ringle, By threes, and fours, and single, The cows come slowly home. The same sweet sound of wordless psalm, The same sweet June day rest, and calm. The same sweet smell of buds and balm When the cows come home. With tinkle, tankle, tinkle, Through ferns and periwinkle, The cows are coming home; A-'oltering in the checkered stream, Where the sun rays glance and gleam, Clarine, Peachbloom, and Phebe Phlllls, biana Knee-aeep in ine creamy lines, In a drowsy dream; To-link, to-lank, to-llnkle-llnkle. O'er banks with butter-cups a twinkle, The cows come slowly home. And up through memory's deep rayiue Come the brook's old songs, its old-time sheen. And the crescent of the silver queen When the cows come home. With kllngle, klangle, klingle. With IoojOO, and woo-oo, and jlugle, The cows are coming home; And over there on Merin Hill, Sounds the plaintive cry of the whip-poor-will, And the dew.drops lie on the tangled vines, And over the poplars Venus shines; And over the silent mill; Ko ling, ko-la g, ko-llngle-llnglc With twing-a-llug, and jingle, The cows come slowly home. Let down the bars; let in the train. Of long gone songs, and flowers, and rain. For dear old times come back again When the cows come home (IEKAT GARRET' Who Saved Washington City in 1864. Gen. Bradlv T. Johnson, writing in the Philadelphia Time on Early's expe dition against Washington city in 1864, gives the credit or his Deing thwarted m his purpose to John W. Garrett, Presi dent of the Baltimore rind Ohio railroad. After detailing the events up to the ar rival of Early before Washington he says: The preservation of Washington from noiitiiro i"ia Avvinrr mnro 1 1 tlio onoi'fru and decision of John Garrett, Esq., Pres ident ot the Baltimore and Ohio Kail road Company, than any merit of the military authorities. Mr. Garrett's railroad telegraph has kept him thor oughly informed as to the movements in Western Maryland. He had perceiv ed as earlv as Thusdav and Fridav be fore that Early had crossed the Poto mac in force, ana that nis real object was Washington. He had impressed his views personally upon President Lin coln, and the Secretary of War, Mr. Stanton, and insisted on the necessity of flighting a battle at Frederick, in order either to gain time for troops to be got up for the defence of that city, or, fail ing in that, that preparations could be made for its evacuation. Accordingly, when the battle of Monocacy was fought on Saturday, and he found Ear ly in full march southward, he imme diately prepared the transportation on his road to receive the reinforcements which he was informed would arrive the next day at Locust Point. During Sunday the fleet of transports from Fortress Monroe, with the Nineteenth and Sixth Corps, began to arrive, but the officers in command refused to land any troops until General Emory should arrive. After striving in vain to start the disembarkation, Mr. Garrett pro ceeded to Washington on a special en gine, and so impressed his views on the President and Secretary of War that he brought back with him an order to the senior officer of the troops on the trans ports to report to him until General Early should arrive. During Sunday night and Monday Garrett, thus actual ly in command of two army corps, pressed the re-enforcements on the cars and hurried them to Washington. Ear ly saw their advance filing into the works on Monday af.ernoon, and the rest of them lining the parapets on Tuesday at daylight. The Tay Bridge Disaster. Cable to N, Y. Herald. The Tay Bridge disaster is still earn estly discussed. The investigation is steadily progressing. How many lives were lost is still a matter of uncertain ty. Only one tbingalone is sure that no man escaped from the Firth of Tay. Mr. Edgar Gilkes, the builder of the bridge, telegraphs to the Herald as fol lows : "Present evidence indicates that some other foTces than the tempest were acting with it and caused the des truction of the girder. The velocity of the wind, as registered at Dundee on the night of the disaster, was forty-two. Th amount of nressure was ouite sufficient to overset the train, and the guard rails on the windward side could not prevent the upper part of the car riages striking the girders. This might cause the damage by destroying the. unity of the leewara giraer, ana anoin er violent eust would bring about com plete ruin.' The Other Titled American. Cor. New York Sun. Allow me to ask whv vou sneak of the late George, the Count Joannes, as "the one American nobleman.? "the on- lir Mr.lerl nfirson in the United ; States ?" In the Sun, a few days ago, was a state ment (which l nave vennea Dy a reier ence to Burke) to the effect that the present Baron Fairfax, of Cameron, in r.hft npflracfi of Scotland, is a native born American citizen, who has always resided m America. According to the above authority, his lordship is a medU cal practitioner somewhere down in North Carolina. The genuineness' of the title is beyond dispute, nor should he be accounted any the less a hoble- toian because he refrains from . flaunt- itnritin the face of ah enlightened Democracy.

STATE NEWS. M. P. Penland, of Asheville, is dead. The Goldsboro Messenger claims a subscription list of 1,150 in Wayne county alone. Spirits of turpentine is going up in Wilmington agaipYhaving advanced 2 cents in one day. , The Supreme Court began its session in Raleigh Monday, all the justices be ing present except Judge Smith, who is detained by sickness. Wilmington Star: Hev. Dr. Alex. Means, of Georgia, the oldest living member of the American Scientific As sociation, was born in Statesville in 1800, and went to Georgia at an early age. The Morgan ton Blade hopes the re port is not true that a stout, able-bodied young man, who lives in Burke county, not long since borrowed leath ers out of his mother's -bed and sold them for whiskey. TJie commissioners of BiH'ke county have decided to issue county bonds bearing 8 per. cent., to discharge an in debtedness which fell due on the 1st inst. The coupons are receivable for taxes, arid the old bonds of the countv are received as cash. A correspondent of the Asheville Journal advises Mr. Hayes to appoint Hon. W. P. Bynum, of Charlotte, to fill any vacancy on the bench of the Su-premte'-'feiourt of the United States, that may be occasioned by the resignation of Judge Hunt, or any one else. The Asheville Journal throws this out at the boys: A prominent Republi can of this section has received a letter from a high authority one who con trols appointments askiner informa tion as to the number and names of Democrats who are in subordidate po sitions in Western North Carolina, and by whom appointed. Any of our Re publican friends who may read this are requested to furnish us with names, xc, and we will see that thev are prop erly forwarded, and justice done, as it snould be, to those who have been true to their party allegiance. "Pinafore's" Success. Condensed from the New York Tribune. The Fifth Avenue Theatre was crowded last night and laughter rang mere loud and long. The splendid audience assembled to see "The Pirates of Benzance" witnessed a most bril liant an complete success. Somebody asked an old manager whether "The Pirates of Benzance promised to run as well as "Pinafore. The veteran sadly shook his head and replied, "We snail never have another 'Pmatore. We may touch lightly upon a few points of difference between the two operettas which seem to provoke legiti mate comparison. The run ot "Pina fore" was so clear and simple, both in the text and music, that it forced itself at once on the careless listener. The humor of the "Pirates" is richer, but more recondite. It demands a closer attention to the words than the oidina ry play-goers will always give; perhaps it requires a more distinct enunciation than singers usually think it worth while to cultivate. On the other hand. there are great stores of wit and drol lery in the dialogue and the songs which will well repay, exploration, so that the opera ought to gain upon the favor of the public after two or three representations. The music is fresh, bright, elegant and merry, and much of it belongs to a higher order of art than the most popular of the tunes of "Pina fore." There are little gems of melody, and there are duos and concerted num bers of the most delicate device and the most carefnl construction of which Mr. Sullivan has a good right to be proud. Add to the sparkling text, the excellent music, the droll situations, and an un usual abundance of laughable "busi ness," the further charm of a series of stage-pictures in which beautiful scen ery and the glow of light and color are deftly used to heighten the effect of pretty groups and we have a catalogue of attractions to which the public can not remain insensible. A Famous Lawsuit Ended. The action brought by the St. Louis, Alton and Terre Haute Railroad Com pany against Samuel J. Tilden, Chas. Butler, Russell Sage and Robert Bay ard, the former purchasing committee for the railroad company for the return of a large amount of securities of the company, has been ended by Mr. Tilden handing back to the company about $250,000 in bonds and cash for himself and Charles Butler. Mr. Bayard's exe cutors had previously paid over to the company $100,000, and Mr. Sage, early in December, refunded a $100,000. The suit has been pending for over fifteen years, and the claim was for $1,000,000, being the surplus remaining in the hands of the purchasing committee af ter the taking up and cancelling of the old securities of fhe railroad company upon its reorganization, and retained by the committee on the ground that they had no other remuneration for their services. Lesseps at Panama On Friday last the city of Panama was brilliantly illuminated in honor of the presence of M. Ferdinand de Les seps. The technical committee held their first sitting, Col. Totten and Mr. Wright, American engineers, being E resent. On the previous day M. de ,esseps inaugurated in person the work of definite survey for a sea level canal, the ceremonies taking place on the steamer Taboquilla, at the mouth of the Rio Grande, which is about a mile from Panama. Dickon's Dutchman. Charles Langheimer, who was writ ten into fame by Dickens more than thirty years ago, is now serving out a term for attempted robbery, in the Eastern penitentiary, Philadelphia. The walls of his cell are covered with deco rations with which he has adorned them, and a few days ao a benevolent lady who was visiting him was so star tled by some of them that she tripped and fell to the floor, fracta ring her thigh.
