WE CONFIDENTLY ASSERT and can Satisfactorily Prove there is no instance on record of a case of dyspepsia or torpid liver that cannot be relieved and positively cured by the systematic use of Simmons Liver Regulator.' This is no vain boast, but an established fact; and suf ferers from these diseases deny themselves the blessings of health and comfort by refusing to give the Regulator a trial. It is no compound of adventurers, but a meritorious medicine which has won its high reputation in countries where torpid livers prevail and where nature supplies the roots and herbs to cure the disease common to Us climate. i i i i The Florence nightingale of the Nursery.

Harrison Dockery, the prisoner brought o Charlotte sometime ago from Alex ander county for safe keeping, who stands charged with participation in the Thompson murder, has been taken back to Taylorsville, where he was to be tried this week. Nothing has been yet heard as to the result of the trial, but it is more than likely that he will be con victed. He has the reputation of being weak-minded, which fact may stand him in good purpose in this emergency. Hnmpty Damply. Tony Denier's company last evening presented Humpty Dampty to the larg est audience that has gathered at the opera house this season. The play is one with which every theatre-goer is familiar; in fact it i3 an old story that is ever new, and no other play presen ted has enjoyed such a run of success as this. The reason of this is its wonder derf ul mutability. No matter how oft en it may be presented, it is always sus ceptible of change in tricks, its trans formations and its specialties. The performance as presented last night was in many respects superior to former renditions, in that the special ties were in most instances new, and some additional features were given. The character of the harlequin is not so well taken by Mr. George Topack as by George Adams, who was with the Com pany when it appeared here last season. The audience gave approval of the per formance by generous applause. Pcrkoual, Ilev.J.T. Bagwell, who has been visiting relations in the west, returned to the city yesterday. Miss Mafircrie L.

The party being formed to go to At- anta next Tuesday promises to be the argest that has yet been made up in this section of the country. A very arge number have already sent in their names, ana letters from neighboring towns and villages lead to the belief hat the opportunity will be very gen erally taken advantage of. It may not be amiss to state, for the information of those residing along the Air-Line who expect to go, that it wUl be abso lutely necessary that the tickets be purchased in Charlotte, as it seems that not a few anticipate joining the party after it leaves Charlotte, and to do this will incur rates from the station of em barkation, unless the tickets are pur chased here, at club rates. Rev. Mr. Atkinson, of the Charlotte Female Institute, has secured a special car on this occasion, and will take his school to Atlanta in a body. It is un derstood that ladies alone or escorted by gentlemen, who are friends of the school, will be granted the courtesy of his car, which will no doubt be highly appreciated by those intending to go, and who are entitled to the privilege. This will perhaps be the last party of any consequence that will go from this place between this time and the close of the Exposition, and it will be well for those wishing to go to consider this fact County Scbool Committeemen.

Death of Gen AoetelL The Atlanta Constitution of yester day reports the death of Gen. Alfred Austell, which occurred at his home in that city Wednesday evening at six o'clock. The deceased was well known in business circles in Charlotte, and was one of the most substantial citizens of Atlanta, where he has resided since the close of the war. Commencing life in humble circumstances, he reached a high position in commercial circles, and at his death was president of the At lanta National Bank. He was in his 68th year. i i m i nw Accident on tne Air-Line. It was reported here yesterday that a serious accident had occurred on the lower end of the Air-Line road Wed nesday night, between eight and ten j'clock, at a point near Norcross, Ga in which John Dean, a conductor of a freight train, and a prominent citizen of Atlanta, had lost their lives. In quiry in regard to the matter substan tiated the report, but no particulars of the affair could be ascertained, except that the accident was caused by a pas senger train telescoping the caboose of a freight. The associated press gives the following account of the matter, which it is safe to say is not as full as will be given when the facts become known: Atlanta, Dec 8. Last "night, at Suwanee, on the Air-Line road, a pas senger train ran over and killed John H. Dean and a man named Hurst, both of Atlanta. Charlotte's Cotton Iluilnew, The receipts of cotton at Charlotte up to December 1, 1881, amount to 13,551 bales. For the same time last year, 3073 bales. This is a heavy decrease, and indicates either an unprecedently short crop in the section tributary to Cnarlotte or that tne cotton trade or that place is rapidly falling off. Wil mington (Star. That there has been an unprecedent ed short cotton crop in the section tributary to Charlotte cannot be de nied. By an average of twenty esti mates, furnished by the most reliable firms and business men in the city, the crop is put down as a little more than 50 per cent short of last year's produc tion of this section, which fact accounts for the light receipts at this point up to dale. In addition, it is safe to say that a sufficient amount of cotton is still in farmers' hands to make up the re mainder of the apparent deficiency in the proportionate receipts considering the shortness of the crop. Charlotte has no fears of losing ground as a cot ton market, provided the staple is produced, as we have cotton "buyers who can and will make it to the inter est of our farmers to sell their crops in this market zv$ 1XMxtlszxazxiXs To the Stockholders OF THE "NOBTH STATE COPPER AND GOLD MIKING COMPANY.": TAKE NOTICE An assessment of FIVE CENTS FEB SHARE was, by resolution ot the Board of Directors of the above company (passed on the 3rd day of December, 1 881,) levied upon its Capi tal Stock, payable THURSDAY, January 12th, 1882, to the Treasurer, JOSEPH WILKINS, at the office of the company.

HOW THEY AIFE0TED THE PRO POSED BE0EPTI0E TO SHEBMAK. Atlaata Cor. cIbCIbbeU Commercial : During the past week the Northern visitor at the Cotton Exposition has enjoyed a mere than favor able opportunity of observing at his leisure that fascinating element in Southern society Immortal ized by Mrs. Southworth and her contemporaries. and popularly known as the Southern beauty. Among the thousands of citizens of Georgia, Ala bama, the two Carolinas, and sister States repre sented here In the largely increased attendance of the past five days, the Southern beauty has been present la no inconsiderable proportion, and wherever found she Is distinctive among her sex. and la collectively the reflex of several types of feminine loveliness. You find her as a slender brunette, with classic features, faultless though delicate form and Sashing black eyes; er, leas numerous but fully as attractive, in the ntrandng and ever popular blende, who, while of more ro bust and ef less delicate tout ensemble, is equally graceful and eminently fitted to shine with and la contrast to her dark-eyed rivaL There Is another type here which a stranger will find prominent among the two, but which can not properly be classed as a beauty. That Is the blondlne, who must be called pretty, but not beautiful; whose dignified manner, charming presence and graceful carriage necessarily add to her natural attractions. She is met tn a mixed throng in greater percentage than either of the others, and when seen Invaria bly commands extensive and respectful comment from the opposite sex. DIAMONDS AND PRETTY WOMEN. Just here, to a close observer, there is one very pleasing and striking peculiarity about the Art building which does not exist to nearly the same extent at any other point on the grounds, and that Is the fact that It is a popular resort for ladles of refinement, beauty and culture. Take the dark eyed Southern beauty In her native atmosphere, and In her intellectual attainments and fascinat ing manners form an appropriate setting to her prepossessing personnel. In no place can her com bined Qualities be seen to better advantage than here. She goes through the several buildings, ad mires the exhibits which Interest her sex exclu sively, grasps the Intricate scientific problem as it is presented in the mass of cotton and other ma chinery, and reads In the exhibits of improved agricultural Instruments the discrepancies and necessities of the soil culture in this section, but it is in the Art building where she is found in her natural element here are features more con genial to her taste and at one point particularly Is this most prominent I speak of the Diamond and Jewelry of the E. Jaccard Jewelry Company, of St Louis, which attracts more wide spread at tention than any other here. It is in the main Art building, immediately west of the Arcade, and de serves special mention, not only because of the popular reputation of the firm, but because ot the varied and valuable character of the exhibit and its handsome surroundings. In this portion of the building, the first thing that greets the eye of the visitor is a massive and handsome EBONY AND GOLD PAVILION. Draped in curtains af rich material, carpeted and with heavy plate-glass sides forming also the outer walls of commodious show cases, which are artisti cally upholstered in silk and satin. This is where the Jaccard Jewelry Company exhibit is located, and If nothing else were to give this information a mammoth Iron safe Inside would almost tell of the great treasures which It Is Its duty to hold within its grasp. The most prominent feature of the display con sists In the diamonds which it embraces, and here the ladies, true to the instinct of their sex, congre gate and apparently never weary in canvassing the many qualities of the solitaires and other costly gems. At all hours of the day the pavilion is thronged with tbe elite of the gentle sex, whose position in society and circumstances make them critical connoisseurs in this particular branch of ths art of female adornment In passing judgment in this respect the visitors are greatly assisted by the very reputation of the Jaccard Company, which, having been established In 1829 more than a half century ago-has acquired an exten sive and valuable business throughout the South and are constantly making Important sales at the Exposition, which compels from day to day the re plenishing of the stock of diamonds from the home establishment A TEN-THOUSAND-DOLLAR-PAIR. Among the extensive display of diamonds Is a matched cut pair of fifty-two and one-half carats, valued at 810,000, which are the largest matched pair ever brought to this country. When one views them the mind naturally reverts to the crown jewels of England, France and Russia, to those In Green Vaults of Dresden, and to the celebrated Kohinoor of India. The latter, you will remember, weighed five or six hundred carats in the rough, and 182 carats when cut But while diamonds are a special feature with the Jaccard Company, they are also extensive manufacturers of silverware, of which there are many most beau tiful, artistic and modem specimens on exhibi tion. The company has large connections in Europe, by which means they are enabled to Im port all of the latest French, English and Viennese goods, bronzes, clocks, bric-a-brac, etc The ex hibit also embraces cabinets of silverware, clocks, cutlery, bronzes, bisque, parian and porcelaine ware, vases, repousse ware, watches, bracelets, and many other articles In the fine Jewelry line. A pair of large Satsuma vases which were recently sold to ex-Governor Bross, of Illinois, are greatly admired. They are beautifully Illustrated in tra ceries of gold oxides by martial scenes taken from the earliest history of Japan, and as articles ef vertu are very valuable. The Jaccard company are to be congratulated on the exhibit made here, and during the earlier days of the. Exposition it appeared as though the enormous outlay and the heavy draft on their stock had been made for naught but under the present Improved condition of things the value of their dlsajay Is being prop erly appreciated. While speaking on this subject it would be well to show what moral Influence the Southern woman exerts In her proper sphere, as demonstrated Inci dent to General Sherman's visit here on Tuesday. It is a remarkable f set that while the male natives have ceased to bear animosity towards the grim old warrior who left a black souvenir In Georgia "forty miles wide and three hundred long," the women, on the contrary, will never forget that Sherman turned their homes, and they uniformly refuse to regard him as anything else than an invader and despoiler. Speaking to some Southern ladles about Sherman, a few days ago, they would never forget him, and they Would not permit him to be feted here if they could prevent It. "Why," said one, "when he came South before and was feasted here, there were women at the banquet table who wished every drink he took could be transformed into poison; and others, while lending their presence as a matter of neces sity, bid beneath the guise of politeness a hatred which boded no good for the destroyer of their homes." I have found that this sentiment still exists here very largely among the women of Georgia, and if report be correct, ft was a poten tial agency In influencing a change of programme on Tuesday.
