CHARLESTON’S WOE. The Olty Bent Asunder by the Earth's Convulsions. The Recent Ewthqenke Find* it* Centei at charleston. 8. C., and I .care* the City a Scene of Death Malna* lag and Deaolattaa. Chaulkston, S. C., Sept. 1.—Shortly •(ter ten o’clock last night an earthquake ol such violence as has never before been experienced In this city occurred. The whole city was shaken violently, causlug heavy loss of life and doing immense damage to property. The city la one mass of wreck. The streets arc completely blockaded with flebrts of ruined houses, telegraph poles, wires. Vehicles of any kind can not be driven through the streets, while pedestrlanlsm Is both dangerous and difficult. People have been In the streets since the occurrence of the first shock wringing their hands and crying aloud to God to save them. Whole families passed the night Coddled together In open spaces, some of them praying continuously, Imploring Divine intercession. Opinions ..differ as to the number of shocks which occurred. Some assert that there were only two, while others are as positive that there were three. A great many Insist that there were even more. However, this may be, the first was the most severe, and did thb most damage. There are large numbers of buildings wrecked, but It Is impossible to ascertain In the present excitement how many. Several Uf the wrecked houses caught Are, and are still burning in various parts of the city; but no fears are entertained of the fires spreading. So far as learned, from sixty to seventy persons have been killed and wounded, and it is feared that when a

r — -he f approach of the quake was heralded bv the usual rumbling sound, resembling distant thunder. Then it gradually approached, earth quaked and heaved, and In three seconds it had pass, ed, tho sound 'dying out In the distance. This 1s the only wave felt since 2:80 a. m. It was not destructive, all the destrue. tlon have been done last night. Fully two-thirds of the residences in the city are uninhabitable, wrecked either totally or partially. v It Is impossible to give u correct estimate of the, casualties. It Is thought that between fifty and one -hundred persons have been Killed and several hundred wounded, at tho time of the first •hock. About twenty houses were destroyed by fire. Scarcely one hundred houses in tho city are occupied at this time, the people being all encamped In Open places. All the stores are closed and a scarcity of provisions Is feared,i not from want of provisions, but because no one can be got into the stores to [southern. - \ V Charleston, 8. C., Sept. 1, 5 p. m.—■ Two slight earthquake shocks have been felt here to-day, besides the one which occurred in the morning. They were but slight quakes, and4ielther did any further destruction. Not even during General Gilmore’s bombardment of the city has there over been such a deplorable state of affairs here. The city; Is literally in ruins, and people are living in the open squares and parks. There is a great rush to the railroad depots to get away, but owing to damage to the railways no trains have beeu able to be dispatched from the city. Telegraphic communication is also cut oft save one wire of the Southern Company, which is crowded with anxious private messages. It Is impossible to depict the ruin and desolation that prevails here. Not a single place of business In the city Is open, save the drug stores, which are busy preparing prescriptions for the wounded. It Is atlll Impossible to give any correct estimate of tho killed and wounded, as bodies are being constantly disinterred from the debris Of wrecked houses. One undertaker, who was interviewed this afternojartjtates that he had furnished eightcoffinsln^hsasron- Many of tho dead of u>« poorer' classes of colored people lie unburied, awaiting interment by the county. There are not half a dozen tents In the city, and women and children are experiencing great privations In consequence, and as night approaches most of the heads of families are trying to construct tents out of bed sheets, spare awnings and other material that comes to their hands. The sun Is about to set on another night of horror for poor Charleston. Heaven only knows what it may bring forth, oven without further violent shocks, apprehensions of which are preseut lu the minds of most people here.

Charusston, S.C., Sept. S.—The alarm, and apprehension among; the citizens conhr kjnue unabated. The Impression has spread tmcmgttio people from some onknown cause that the shock or i»»t night la likely to be repeated, and this la the eause ot the prevailing anxiety. The streets present a sad picture ol desolation and ruin. The parks and open places are the camping places ol thousands ot poorly clad and discouraged people. There ' la a general desire among the more well-to-do classes to get away from the city, and as soon aa communication Is established there will be an exodus. Thla will he the case Independently of present feeling of panic, for even afti this passes away there will be many fa files wno wfll remove temporari!/wfl the restoration of the city Is being rled on. There are also many visit who see no charms In the place now, i who will hasten to their homes North and South. A^vell-known citizen thus descrlh bis experlsnce during the shock Tues night: "We all made a rush for street, but when we saw buildings ss ing and walls toppling Into the street] in direction, a feeling ot despair eihed to seize upon everybody. I, for ie, milled the uselessness of attempt > escape, and I saw others stop and I atfll as If giving themselves up to er fgte had in store for them. The I dentation paused by the move*

moot ot the earth was hardly more <«» palling than the terrible noise wht'eh nos com pan ted the shock, this Was not very loud, bat was like a low and threat* enlng growl under the earth. The piercing cries o! frightened women and 'children, and the frenzied shouts of men calling to One adother and attempting to organise So iti'e means of rescue, formed a singular contrast to th|9 subterranean thunder. People stood despairing for a moment, and then a tumultuous rash was made 1,'or open spaces. I ran as fast as any boil/, yet I recall vividly the horror pictured on the faces of those near. the. the th! rig has made ah Indelible Impression on my mind, and even hOW I look for that cunItvoUs rdar. The weeping of women and the hoarse cries of the men as they :ran hither and thither among the wrecks ot walls and telegraph wires can never ba adequately described.” The largest crowd of fugitives collected in Marlon square In the center of the city. Three shocks followed ohe anothef at short intervals, and hatdly had th* panic caused by one partially abated when another trehiorof the earth renewed the alarm. So frightened were the waiting crowd that they harclly perceived that each shock was sonpn'irat lighter than its predecessor. It iw only late In the morning that the prayerful and despairing throng, finding the earth oaca more solid tor many hours, gathered courage enough to agalni seek th* neighborhood of their shattered hottest

shock* at oilier l'olntn. Colombia, S. C., Sept. 1.—Just before nine o’clock last night this city was visited by a terrible earthquake. The Hist two shocks were fearful. buildings swayed from side to side; the earth rose and fell like the waves of the ocean. People rushed madly from Jhelr houses Into the streets. Some sprang from windows and were injured. The experience of those in buildings at the time of the first shock was that of being rocked as tt In a ship at sea. Many of the most substantial buildings were shaken to their foundations and their walls were cracked and sprung. Five minutes after the first shock, the second came* And ill ten minutes a third. Other shocks followed until 1:05 a. ra., when the eighth shock was felt. This one lasted for a minute and a half. At four o’clock this morning the ninth sh ock came, and at 9 tSO and 10:20 a. m., the city was again made to tremble. Very little sleep was had by any of the Inhabitants of Columbia last night. Negroes thought the end of the world had come. They held prayer meetings on street corners. All communication was cut off from Charleston, S. C., until nine o'clock 1,hl* morning, when the Southern Telegraph Company’s line was opened and the terrible ttfews cante that that eitjr had been nearly demolished last night. From Charleston reports come that nearly a hundred lives were lost. Summerville, a flourishing town twen-ty-two miles from Charleston, It Is reported has been nearly destroyed. Savannah, Ga., Sept. 1.—The earthquake shocks here, commencing at hall past nine last night lasted several inlnytes. Several slight shocks were felt ,'ater in the night. When the quaking first b^gsm men, women and children rushed ill to tlie streets where many remained until daylight. The ueg :oe? were terror stricken. Bryan Street Church (colored) was badly cracked, and the plaster falling upon the congregation assembled within, caused a terrible scene of confusion. Many negroes thought th« day of judgment had come. In another colored church where there was a gathering, a panic and stampede followed the first shock, and Several were trampled upon and severely Injured. Very little damage other than cracking walls and falling plaster is reported here, and no lives were lost. Reports from the suburbs of the city and adjacent towns tell of severe shocks, but no loss of life or any considerable damage to property. At Tlbee Island, at the mouth of the Savannah river, the lenses in the lighthouse were destroyed. The people on the island have telegraphed to this city that they were in a state of terror. There caii be no communication with the main land for some time, and all the Inhabtants are assembled on high land. Tht Bland was swept by a tltal wave in August, 1881, and the people fear a similar disaster now. ' Atlanta, Qa., Sept. I.—Three dlstinot shocks of an earthquake were felt here about eight o’clock last night. On* house was shattered to pieces. The six chimneys on the Constitution building fell with a crash. Window glass,, dishes and clocks were broken. Richmond, Va., Sept. 1.—An earthquake shock at eleven o’clock last night caused a scene of Indescribable horror. The penitentiary alarm hell and the fire people rushed out ol 5JJW^"^^^n?Ssts_ clad ouly in theli night clothes and shrlekflig with terror. The eight hundred convicts In. the jjienitentlary were maniacal with fright,, and their* shrieks .for aid led to the furacu that they had escaped and were in re volt, thus increasing the consternation of th« city’s inhabitants. Only the determined efforts of the home militia succeeded In restoring quiet. At Lynchburg the shock was so violent that bricks were shaken from chimneys. Cincinnati, CL, Sept. 1.—At u few minutes past nine o’clock last ntghbthere was quite a perceptible earthquake shock, but there was no panic. Printers at work oil the morning newspapers rushed oat of the composing rooms, and some jumped out of the windows, k i At Columbus patients in the Insane asylum became so frightened that it was with difficulty that they were keat In their wards. There was a serious panto at the hllnd asylum, but no one was Injured. The shock was accompanied by a low. heavy, rumbllug sound. .At Cleveland people rnshed from theaters, hotels and residences. Clocks stopped at half-past nine, local time. Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. I.—Last night a cornice of the Dennison hotel was dislodged and fell to the sidewalk, and other bulldlugs trembled and swayed, being the result of an earthquake. At Kvansvllle the shock was so severe that people were thrown from their beds and the river fell a ifoot. At Terre Haute several women were Injured by a frightened rush from theaters. Rai.fi oh, N. C., Sept. I_Buildings rocked, walls cracked, floors broke loos* from their supports, chimneys fell and lamps were overturned. No word can be received from Charleston, 8. C., as the wires are all down and railroad tracks are Inundated. The earthquake seemed to center there, and It is feared that the damage Is serious.

or. loots, sept. 1.—From the beat information to be gathered it would,seem that a alight jar was felt last evening lu pottlona of the city, such as might have been produced by a street car passing;, but «a« jar was decidedly slight. Washing-ion, Sept. 1—Walla of new buildings crackea and plastering fell from ceilings. Guests of hotels rushed out (n great fright. Lootsviu.k, K;., Sept. l.—The earthquake was the most violent ever felt, and there was a general stampede from all large buildings. Pbtroit, Mich., Sept. 1.—Olhalra, tables and gas fixtures were seen to vibrate, and people were nearly thiown off their feet.

[baris Morning Journal. 1 A young woman in a country town in France was hurry ing home during a thunderstorm, shielding herself with an umbrella, when she suddenly experienced a strange and alarming sensation, the shock being simultaneous with a very vivid flash ' of lightning. She felt “quite upset,” but proceeded on her way. On reaching home she removed her hchnet, when, She discovered that her hair had been literally cut off, her head presenting, as the hair fell, the same appearance as though it had been shaved with a razor. Her narrow escape produced such an effect upon the girl’s mind that she has been confined to her bed ever since. Health officials of Brooklyn, Philadelphia.

Anu alu wAUAitiwL tfiacwegi Tbd proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly clainurfor it a superiority over all remedies ever offered to the public for the SAFE, CURTAIN, SPEEDY and PERMANENT cure of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether of short or long standing. He refers to the entire Western and Southern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion that in no ease whatever will it fail to cure if the directions are etrietly followed andoerried out In a great many casee a single doee has been sufficient for a cure, and whole families have been cured by a single bottle, with a perfect restoration of the general health. It is, however, prudent and in every ease more certain to eure, if its use is continued in smaller doses for a week or two after the disease has been checked, more especially in difficult and long-standing cases, usually this medicine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order. 8houla the patient however, require a cathartic medicine, after having taken three or four doses of the Tonic, a single dose Of KENTS VEGETABLE FAMILY BILLS will bo sufficient BSE no other pill.

diseases Just as successfully without as with a personal consultation. While .wo are always glad to son our patients, and become acquainteit with them, show them out institutions, and familiarize them with our system of treatment; vet We have not Seen one person in five hundred whom wo have cured. The perfect accuracy with which scientists are enabled to deduce the most minute particulars in their several departments, appears almost miraculous, if wo view it in the iijriit of the early asms. Take, for example, the electro-magnetic telegraph, the greatest invention of the age. Is it not a marvelous degree of accuracy which enables an operator to exactly locate a fracture iu a submarine cable nearly three thousand miles long? Our venerable “clerk of the weather" has become so thoroughly familiar with the most wayward elements of nature that he can accurately predict, thbir movements. He can sit in Washington and foretell what the weather will bo in Florida or Now York as well as if several hundred miles did not intervene between hrm and the places named. And so in ail departments of modern science, what is required is the knowledge of certain signs. From these scientists deduce accurate eonelusions regardless of distance. So, also, in medical soieuce, diseases have certain unmistakable signs, or symptoms, and by reason of this fact, wo have lieeu enabled to originate and perfect a svstem of determiniug. with the greatest accuracy, the nature of chronic diseases, without seeing aud personally Signs &f Disease.

And it Is to the accuracy with which this system has endowed us that the marvelous success which has been attained through it, demonstrate the fact that diseases display certain phenomena, which, being subjected to scientific analysis, furnish abundant we owe our almost world-wide reputation of skillfully treating lingering or chronic^affections, This system _ of practice, and Marvelous SUCCESS. and unmistakable data/fo guide the iudernent Hmir ■ i "ii iWl „f the skillful practitioner aright in determining the nature of diseased conditions. The most ample resources for treating lingering or chronic discuses, and tho greatest skill, are tints placed within tho easy reach of every invalid, however distant ho or she may reside from the physicians making the treatment of such affections a specialty.

COMMON SENSE AS APPLIED TO MEDICINE. ., Iti3a well-known fact and one that appeals to the judgment of every thinking person, that tho physician who devotes hie whole time to the study and investigation ot a certain class of diseases, must become better qualified to treat such diseases than he who attempts to treat every ill to which flesh is heir, without giving special attention to any class of diseases Men, in ail ages of tho world, who have become famous, have devoted their lives to some special branch of science art or literature. ~ ' OUR FIELD ©S’ SUCCESS.

To those acquaint, d with our institutions, it is hardly necessary to say that the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, with the branch establishment locattd at No. 3 New Oxford Street, Eemdon, England, have', for many yeans enjoyed the distinction of being the niott large-ly patronized and widely celebrated institutions in the world for the treatment and c ~ cure of those affee'tions which arise from youthful tndiseTetiousand pernicious,solitary practices. We-, many years ago, established a s(iecial Department for the treatment of the-se disease's, under the management of some of tho most skillful physicians and surgeons on our Staff, in order that all who apply to us might receive al> tlio advantages of a full Council of the most experienced specialists. We offer no apology for elevoting so much attention to this neglected class of diseases^ believing no condition of humanity is too wretched to merit the sympathy and best se'rviee'8 of the neible profession tei which we belong. Many who sutler from these' te'rrible diseases contract them innocently. Why any medical man, intent on doing good and aik'viatihg suffering, should slum such eases, wo cannot imagine. Why any one should consider it otherwise than most honorable to c'ure the weirst case-s of the'so dise'ases, we cannot understand: and yet of all the other maladies which afflict mankind there Is probably uono about which physicians in general practice know so little. We shall, therefore, continue, as heretofore, to treat with our best consideration, sympathy, mid skill, all applicants who arc suffering from any of these delicate diseases. Pnom IT Unur Most of t hese cases can be treated by us when UUntU B-l nUfnt. at a distance just as well as if they were here in person.
