We 1« arn from the Rome Courier that a lad by the same of Norman Wooten, aged about 14 years, died last Tuesday in Dirt Town, Chattooga county. He made a speech at the school examination on the Fri day night previous, in good health. His disease was cholera morbus. The Round Mountain Furnace Company desires to employ two hundred wood choppers Immediately. They offer full wages in cash, or goods at cash prices, and furnish comfortable cabins. The counterfeit fifty cent notes in circulation may be detected by holding them to the light, when one can see there is no silk fibre in the paper, but is simu lated by irregular scratches on the plate which gives the surface impression. The red Treasury seal is also printed in ink, which will rub and blur aver the paper if a person dampens the fingers and passes them over it. Professor William Henry Waddell, Secretary, an nounces that the Alnmni Society of the University of Georgia, will meet in annual session on Tuesday, Au gust 5tb, 1873, at tec o'clock a. m., in the Chancellor's lecture room, when an Alumni Trustee will be elected to serve in the Board of Trustees for four years; and at eleven o’clock the annual oratiou will be delivered in the Chapel by Bishop George F. Pierce, and at seven p. m. the Alumni dinner will be seived in the Mathe. maticai Hall. A lull attendance is looked for. The crop prospects in Middle Georgia are, at this time, very encouraging, and farmers are hopeful, and we trust, thankful. Bishop Beckwith, owing to indisposition, has de. dined to preach the commencement sermon in Athens next Snnday. The Rev. Mr. Drysdale, Rector of Emanuel Church, we learn, will deliver the discourse. Fodder pulling is now the chief business in hand with farmers in Dougherty county. The crops in Baker county are, as a general thing, comparatively sorry. The farmers in that section are beginning to be disgusted with large cotton crops. Small fields of cotton, large fields of corn, and a diver sity of crops, will be the motto another year. Better late than never. There are in Randolph count}" 3,429 children aod Confederate soldiers under 30 years of age entitled to the benefits of the free school fund, and there are $2,331 92 ofi money for educational purpose?. Capt. W. M. Tumlin, of Cuthbert, has moved to Car- teraville, where he will make his fnture residence. Hon. Tbomia E. Lloyd, one of the most prominent lawyers of Savannah, died at his residence last Thurs day evening. Caterpillars have made their appearance in Jefferson county. Rev. W. M. Kennedy, of the M. E. Chnrch, and in charge of the Louisville Circuit, died on last SiiBday. aged G3 years. The Norcross High School will enter upon its second session on the 18th insU under the supervision of Prof. James U. Vincent. The Telegraph says that from all quarters now comes the report of abundant rains in Georgia and flourish ing crops. One small corner of Jasper only, we learn wp to yesterday, was still sufferiug from drought. The corn crop is made, snd will be exceedingly abundant. So far as the statistics of the several counties have come in from the Tax Receivers’ returns, the acreage in corn the present year is also agreeably large—much more so than we have been led to believe. Thus, in Randolph, it is nearly acre for acre with that of cotton, and the proportion does not vary greatly in the other counties heard from. A new post office is soon to be established at the Club House in Bullock county. Only one passenger train is now run between Macon and Savannah. ■Rie pay roil ot the Eagle and Pbccnix Manufactory of Columbus amounts to $19,700 per month, or $230,- 400 per year. This is, indeed, a heavy amount for one institution to dispense in one year for wages alone. We doubt if it has its eqcal iu Georgia. A colored comDany in Charleston telegraphed to Governor Smith the other day to know if they can enter this State. During the month ending Thursday, the Ordinary of ficriven county issued thirty-nine marring® licenses. Two well diggers in Elbert count!', one a white man named William Smith, and a negro named Dick Thompson, were fatally injured by a premature blast while digging a well for Mr. Tate. Both will die. Rev. Johnny Wade, a not*-d minister of the gospel for a great many years, died in Elbert county on the 26th ultimo. The Engineers have finished the survey of the route down the Savannah river, connecting with the survey made by the Augusta A Hartwell Railrosd at Petersburg. They report the distance much shorter than by the river and speak favorable of it. One half of the Washington Gazette has been sold to Mr. John D. Calley. The Gazette has had a visit from Rev. C. W. How ard, who went to Washington for the purpose of or ganizing a grange of the Patrons of Husbandry. He will return to that place on the lGth instant, and ad dress the people and organize any number of granges which may be prepared with the requisite number ot properly qualified members. We trust that the City Council will not send anybody to Washington on the matter of the Atlanta Custom House. Mr. Mnllett. the chief architect, is not at the Federal capital, but on the Pacific coast, from whence he will not return lor several weeks. Besides, we un derstand that he has determined not to begin the construction of the Custom House this summer, because the snm of money appro priated for it—-one hundred thousand dollars —is insufficient. He thinks two hnndred thousand dollars necessary, and be proposes to wait until Congress meets, when he will ask for an additional appropriation. To send any person to Washington, under the circum stanced, will be an unnecessary waste of time and money. A correspondent suggests that the Bishops of the Catholic, Episcopalian and Methodist Churches of Georgia make Atlanta their place of residence. We think tLe suggestion an excellent one. Aside from the health of the city and salubrity of our climate, Atlanta is really the capital ol Georgia in a religious as well as in a political sense, and it would be nothing more than proper for the heads of the several churches to make their domiciles here. We trust that the Bishops will take the matter into consideration. Certainly Spain does not get any better fast. Every day the cable brings ns sadder ne#s of the terrible condition of this once great and powerful country. The Spaniards are much in need of u first class tyrant who, jf he even did shock the age by his tyranny, would maintain order in the country. THE REPORTED MONARCHICAL PRO GRAMME IN FRANCE. If the situation in France was the same as in the revolutions of 1830 and 1848, we could credit the rumor that Marshal MacMahon will shortly resign the Presidency of the so- called republic, and make way for the mon archy. Thfe situation, however, is vastly dif ferent. In 1830, after Charles IX had fled, Lafayette, by a clever piece of humbuggery, throttled the republic, and put Louis Phil- lippe, who stood near by handy, on the throne. In 1848 there was more trouble, aiul it took some hard fighting and a little shoot- iLg to repress the ardor of the lieds. Poor Changarnier, Lamartine and the rest of them would, however, have finally gone under I had not the man of order appeared, in the person of Louis Napoieou. He represented a cause and a dynasty. With Bonrbons, and Orleauists alike in disgrace, the clericals find little shopkeepers, hastened to sup port him, and when the Beds kicked up the devil, the moderate republicans also hastened to back him. And so, Napoleon became the central figure of France because of his nncles fame and he terminated the political trouble by declaring himself Emperor. True enough he was forced to kill a few ! hundreds of ruffians before he accomplished his coup d'(tut. But to kill a few hundreds of ruffians, with a sprinkling of decent men, (shot by accident), thrown in, is a necessity of every new government of France. Paris, L3’Ous, Marseilles and the other large centres of population, contain a race of hereditary ruffians who glory in erecting barricades out of heavy stones and whose fate it is to be shot down by fa lojne tt Vartillerie, or to be remorse- ly cut down by the sabres of la Cavallerie These amiable beings are indigenous to France and never will be extirpated. We ed ing out is the most that can be accomplished.- France, in 1873, presents difficulties for a j change of government which did not exist in j 1830 and 1848. In those years a single “Sa viour of Society ” presented himself and the j clergy and army were a solid phalanx. To-day no such unity exists. MacMahon may resign; ' he may even essay the role of a Monk or a j Warwick, but who is he to put on the throne? | Three “Saviours of Society” present them- selves. There is the old Comte de Chambord i with his white flag and lilies; there is the | Comte de Paris, with bis little shopkeepers, I and his “peace at any price” policy; and j there is the Prince Imperial, with his golden bees and violets appealing to young France j and whispering that magical word to French men, “ Glory!” Each of these “ Saviours of Society” has his partisans. All the Ultramontane clergy sup port the Comte de Chambord, and they carry with them a large proportion of the peasantry. What is known as llie liberal clergy—those who really constitute what is known as the “ Gallican Church,” are divided between the Comte de Paris and the Prince Imperial, the largest proportion supporting the latter. Or- leanism flourishes principally among the small shop keepers and manufacturers. Bona partism is strong with the peasants, with some classes of manufacturers benefitted by free trade and with the urmy. There are very few Legitimists in the army ; there is but a small faction ot Orleauists. {Probably five-sixths of the officers and men are either Bonapartists or Republicaus. We do not intend to refer to the Republi cans because they are in a hopeless minority in France. The struggle is really between the three opponents of Republicanism. Of three portions the Bonapartists are unquestionably the strongest. But Bonapartism cannot succeed unaided; neither can Orleanism nor Legitimism. It is consequently certain that for MacMahon to extinguish what there is left of the Republic, he must have the aid of the three factions, or at least of the Bonapartists and Legitimists. He cannot play the part of Monk, because he has not sufficient influence with the army; and Lenities, monarchical England had but one King to turn to, and thus to put Charles II. on the throne was an easy task. France is confronted by three dynasties, and herein lies MacMahon s difficulty. Marshal MacMahon was never anOrleanist. Descended from an aristocratic Legitimist family, he inherited a contempt for the fam ily of Philip Egalite, who voted his brother to death. During the reign of Louis Phil- lippe he kept aloof from the dynasty of the “Citizen King.” If he has retained the pre judices of boyhood be is as much a Legitimist as when he helped the young “bloods” to hiss down actresses ot Bonaparte tendencies in Paris. But MacMahon’s life is insepara- bly»associated with Bonapartism. For eigh teen years he served Napoleon, and from the hands of the Emperor he received his baton of Marsha’, his decorations and bis title. If the traditions of his family incline him to the Comte de Chambord, the sentiment of grati tude binds him to the Prince Imperial. As matters now stand he can only enact the part of Monk, if an understanding exists be tween the Legitimists and the Bonapartists. It was reported not long ago that the pro gramme was to make Chambord King and name the Prince Imperial bi6 successor. As ’ we once before said, this arrangement would ! be a queer alliance between heretofore irre- 1 concilable ideas; bat we live in an 9ge of won der, and nothing surprises us. Such an alliance, however, would make it comparative ly easy sailing for MacMahon, even though he would have to shoot or sabre a lew more ruffians. If, on the other hand, he aims to restore the mouarchy without reference to the Bona par Li.*, ts, Le will not be able to carry the army with him. “Napidcou’s rheumatism 1 before de Cham Lord's prayers,” said gruff! de Cissev, aiql this General merely repeated ! the sentiments of a large majority of the French officers and soldiers. On the whole, we will nut credit the rumor until we have further evidence. MacMahon is not strong enough to restore the monarchy. He could restore the empire, because when it came to a square issue between Napoleon and Oambetta, Legitimists and Orleanists alike ! would take the ioimer, and as these two | names represent the army it is not likely that the Monarchists will attempt to overthow the present nominally republican government by force, and ignore the Bonapartists. Perhaps the position of France is best illus trated by a cartoon we saw recently iu a for- eign paper. A group of iiersons are before a roulette table, the board of which is divided In o five parls. marked “ Republiqne,” “ Le gitimists,” “Orleans,” “Napoleon,” “Com mune.” Here we seethe “Blouse,” deCham- bord and priests, Comte de Paris, the Prince Imperial and his mother, and M, Thiers and bis party intently watching the game. In the rear a female figure, representing France stands weeping. The game keeper is a blind folded woman in the act of starting the ball. Doubt and anxiety are depicted on every face for nobody knows where the ball will stop and who will win. AVe repeat that it would be unwise and un safe to five credence to reports of a purpose to change the government in six months. The task is not an easy one, and never will be while, as at present, there are five distinct political parties in France, aud not one con trolling a majority of the people. THE OHIO NEW PARTY AIDING CAESAR ISM. The disintegration of the Northern Demo cratic party has commenced and before many months have passed'we fear that the lasc organ ized opposition to [Cassarism will have been numbered among the tbings 4 tbat were. Ohio, which gave birth to the abortion of last year, has produced a second monster. Hungry politicians, long out of office and official pap, are seeking by a sacrifice of principle, to gather between their dried lips the teats of federal patronage. Success, by a sacrifice of everything which made the Democracy a for midable power, may be possible ; but it ren ders the work of Casar easier. It strangles the republic with a package of greenbacks. No possible motive can exist than the desire to obtain office, in this third party movement in Ohio. Messrs. Groesbeck, Pugh, and the other gentlemen who are engineering it have no higher ambition than to overthrow’ the men now in power. It they propose to as sert the principles of Democracy, then where the necessity for a new party? If the prin ciples of Democracy are to be thrown aside like a worn out hat, what can be substi tuted in their stead ? Are you to have a kind of “ middle ground ” platform, “ neither fish, flesh, nor red herrings,” but a kind of mongrel mixture of Radicalism and Democ racy, with a “Good God, Good Devil” hymn to wind up with? For eight long years the Democracy has been in the hands of those whose principles laid in their pocketbooks. Still, as long as they did not ask us to surrender them; so long as they affirmed them, the Democratic Party was a powerful unit, not large enough to conquer, it is true, but too large for the majority to dare proclaim Ciesar. The Ohio new party movement is a shameful “depar ture,” and an abandonment of the struggle for a return to the theories of Jefferson. It indulges in a lot of clap-trap against corrup tion and calls for a revenue tariff, but it does not demand that the sovereignty of the States shall be recognized and that the Federal Gov ernment shall abstain from interfering with them iu the regulation of their municipal affairs. It proposes to accept as an fait <xo- coinpli all that radicalism has done. It is Radicalism in the gait of moderation; central ism seducing republicanism. Nothing more. AVhy change the men now in office if we are to put in the place men who will persevere in the same policy of government. If the third party movers assert that there will be a change of policy then they are attempting a fraud aud swindle on the people. If they mean Democracy, with Democratic principles, let the fact be proclaimed. Honesty is the best policy after all, in politics as well as in private affairs. If it is not Democracy, then, what is it ? There is no middle ground between right and wrong. There are no third set ol principles which we can consider. Years ago the issue was made between the federal ism and centralism of the Republican party and the confederate theory of Mr. Jefferson. The issue is tbe same to-day. To abandon the Democracy is to accept radicalism. Nothing presents itself in tbe new party movement but a scramble for office. The usual clap-trap about corruption aod dishonesty will not avail anything. AYho is to guarantee that the new men will be any the less corrupt and dishonest than the old one ? What difference does it make whether Grant or somebody else is Ca-sar ? If a man is to be put to death, there is little choice be tween hanging and shooting. It is death all the same. On a memorable occasion Daniel AVebster asked what was to become of him. To-day tbe South may well repeat the question. If the Northern Democracy are to abandon prin ciple and engage in a struggle for Federal bread and butter, nothing remains for ns but to keep aloof and let them fight out their pitiful tight. It is a matter of life and death to us to cling firmly to that Democratic theory of government which we once enforced throughout the country. We cannot afford to take any new departure and for the sake of a little patronage submit to centralism and Ca-sar. The Greshema, the Pughs, and the rest ot the Northern office hunters may de stroy Democracy at the North; here in the South we must sustain it. The principles our forefathers fought for in 1776, and which our fathers aud brothers contended tor in 1861-5 we must maintain at every hazard until they again triumph. For it we give wuy and fol low the Greshems and Pughs it will not be long before somebody will put a crown on Ca sar’s head, and there will be no one near to strike it off' and no Brutus at hand to strike Cwsar down. The South Carolina negroes are justly grumbling because the colored Congressmen have dared to appoint • white boys to West Point Academy. It seems to us that the white men of South Carolina ought to rest content with the privilege they enjoy of paying all the taxes, instead of seeking to send their boys to AVest Point at Annapolis. ThisUoaov ought, by all means, to be reserved for the colored aristocracy of the Palmetto Slate. Those of our subscribers on the West Point Railroad who do not wish their Herald** sent on Sunday, will please notify us of the fact so that we can have their uames entered up on a different list. There is not an acre of cultivrted cranbelry marsh in Minnesota, and yet hundreds of peo ple make an almost exclusive business of gathering the fruit for market. Cranberry marshes abound in numerous regions through out the State, and wherever found are, owing to some peculiar fitness of soil aud climate, not only very prolific, but produce fruit of superior excellence.

A number of families are summering at Chandler ami Talladega Springs. The Iron Earl. TheEarl aad*Countess ot Dudley have been among the leading sensations in the Austrian capital; and his lordship is indeed a remark able person personally, amt as holding iu some respects a unique position among English peers. In tbe reign of Charles I, there was a very wealthy goldsmith of the name of Ward. He was jeweller to t^ueen Henrietta Maria, Charles’ consort, and having bought a great property and gained the status which in England has ever accompa nied landed estate, contrived to marry his son to the daughter aud heiress of Lord Dudley. Eventually this lady succeeded her father as Baroness Dudley in her own right, wLilst her husband was created, by Charles I., Baron AVard. borne time alter the Dudley barony fell into abeyance among direct fe male heirs, w hilst the Ward barony descend ed to the immediate ancestors of the present peer. Earlier in the present century it was held by one ol the best known men of the time, who filled the post of Secretary ot State iu Mr. Canning’s ministry, and was created Earl of Dudley. This nobleman, one of the kindest hearted men who ever lived, vras a strange compound of eccentricity and ability. Unhappily in the end the former overpowered the latter. His absence ol mind was proverbial. “Come and dine with me, my dear fellow,” he said to Sidney Smith, “and I’ll get Sidney Smith to meet you.” AVben one night at a party his carriage didn’t arrive, a gentleman well acquainted with his peculiarities offered to let him down at bis house. The hour was so late that Lord Dud ley, in some ways a very retiring character, was perforce compelled accept the civility, but was no sooner in the carriage than he began, according to his wont, expressing his thoughts aloud, and said: “Confounded bore: I suppose I shall have to ask the fellow to dinner.” Whereupon his companion presently rejoined iu a similar tone : “ Confounded bore ; I suppose this fel low will be thinking it necessary to ask me to dinner.” Lord Dudley appreciated the joke, and they became great friends. Lord Dudley was in the habit of always having an apple paddin » at his table, and his neighbors at a grand State banquet at Vienna were not a little surprised ou hearing him muttering repeatedly: ** Nc apple pudding: no apple pudding ! God bless my soul, no apple pud ding ! ” Whilst at the head ot the foreigu of fice, Lord Dudley was on one occasion guilty of a memorable absence of mind, which formed a curious episode in diplomatic his- I tory. Ha directed a letter intended for the ■ French to the Russian ambassader, shortly ] before the affair at Navarino, and, strange to j say, attained bv it immense credit for j diplomatic address. Prince Lieven (who I was then Russian ambassauor) set it down as one of the cleverest ruses ever at tempted to be played off, and gave himself immense credit for not falling into the trap laid for him by, as he imagined, tbe wily En glishman. He returned the letter with a most polite note, in which he avowed, of course, that he bad not read a line of it after he had ascertained it was not for Prince Pohgnac, but j could not resist telling Lord Dudley at an \ evening party that he was (rop ji.>, but dip- j lomatists of bis (Prince L’s) standing were not j so easily caught. Toward the close of his j life Lord Dudley's mind quite gave way, and | one of tho earliest symptoms *ot his unfortu- j nate malady was that of asserting himself inar- 1 ried. He is said to have expressed great aflVc* i tion and solicitude for his imaginary wife. As Lord Dudley never married, his earldom died with him, but his barony of AVard went to his second cousin a clergyman, unit at his i death came to his son, the present peer, who inherited the title when about eighteen. , During the father's enjoyment ot the peer- ] age and his own minority the oceumukition from the property were so great that an in mense addition was made to it by the pur chase of the estates ol Lord Foley in Wore s : tersbire, for upward of U MO,000, the law a I sale on record iu the United Kingdom. 1 . the great bulk of the English peerage, the I Foleys had been traders, and Dr. Nils' stances them as proving what may be do • iu a free aud tradiog country by integrity in dustry, frugality and an extensive line of business. But, as iu so many other cm . th Foley descendants w ere fully as good a* * i*- 1 ing as the auoestors at making. Witley < ’ i rt, the former vast abode, ia remarkable f morial of ephemeral splendor iu the i■ q.e of ceiling by Verrio which formerly docot*t<»d Canons, long since laid low, the home of Pope’s Timou, the princely Chan do* The splendid bronze lamps which used to blnz* »,t the entrance of this grand abode were removed to Wanstead, at the commencement of the century the most magnificent bouse in England, but of which not one stone now remains on the other. Tbe staircase of Canons, then the only marble one in the kingdom, was bought by the celebrsted earl of Chesterfield for Chesterfield House— no longer the property of the Chesterfields—[ where it may yet be seen. Ever since the present Lord Dudley, who was raised to the earldom a few years ago—came into his estate, that portion of it which, lies in the Black Country, around Dudley’, has gone on increas ing in value until, allowing for fluctuations incidental to the iron trade, his command of money is so great that tbe luxury beyond his means could scarcely be named. His house in town, Dudley House, Park lane, is amongst tho dozen finest in Loudon, whilst Wit ley and Himley are enitomes of splendor. He also has one or two residences in Scotland. Yet it may be questioned whether there are not set offs of a disagreeable kind to this accumula tion of wealth and splendor. Lord Dudley has ever been the object of unpleasant rumor and this culminated in connection with his first marriage. Lord Dudley’s first wife was the only child of Mr de Burgh, long a notorious character iu the fast fashionable world of London and Paris. Air. de Burgh was well known to have dissipated a fine fortune, aud to be a needy man, and it was freely reported that his daughter’s husband’s purse was likely to be very convenient for him. Lady AVard (for Lord Dudley had not yet attained his higher honor,) was married in April and died the November following, and then a flood of sto ries were abroad as to how she had been forced into a distasteful marriage, and had died the broken-hearted wife of a monomaniac; for one tale was to the effect that her husband was subject to the strange delusion that he was, albeit of the male sex. competent to bear chil dren, and, that having applied to an eminent medical man to solve the anxious question, if be had a child and Lady AVard had a child, which child would be the heir, got the saga cious reply, “Oh, your lordship’s, of course.” How far these tales are true, who cau tell? Probably they were handsomely garnished, but so much smoke as there was argues a little fire. For some years Lord Dudley remained a widower, but at length his eyes fell on the daughter ol Sir Thomas and Lady Louisa Moncrieffe. They had a very large family, and resources by no means correspondingly considerable. It was generally understood that Miss Moncrieffe favored the attentions of a suitor more of her own age than Lord Dud ley, the Marquis of AVaterford; but their mar riage would probably not have been nearly so acceptable to the Moncrieffe family. Lord Dudley was rich in the present, Lord Water- ford (his father, a somewhat penurious per son, was still living) only in the future. So the beautiful Miss Moucrietfe became Coun tess of Dudley, and her mother might have sung like a lady in “A Match of Affection”— Well, my daughter is married. The popular print* Are full of her blushes, her blonde aud her beauty; And my intimate friends drop me delicate hints That my poor timid giri ia a victim to duty. They talk about interest, mammon aud pride. Aud the danger attending a worldly connection : How little they know the pure heart of the bride— She always was bent on a match of affection. Many thought that she was, indeed, but not with Lord Dud’ey: aud this idea was somewhat strengthened, when the Mordaunt trial came on, giving the feeling to many that her sister’s match with Sir Charles Mordaunt was encouraged by her family from worldly considerations. But, so far as the world goes, Lady Dudley’s position — beauty, rank, boundless wealth—is magnificent, and it is but fair to add that no rumor bus ever been abroad as to Lord Dudleys eccentrici ties since this event took place. The Black Country, as the district from which Lord Dudley's immense revenues are drawn is called, is an extraordinary region, filled with an extraordinary class. When some ten years ago a special commission was appointed to inquire into the state education in England, it fell to the lot of Mr. Coode, a barrister, to report to the privy council on this district. Mr. Coode’s report conveyed an extraordinary picture of contemporary history. One sen tence of his, relative to the morality of this locality, excited indignant comment It was; “Adultery is the rule rather than the exception, and incest is fearfully com mon.” Yet there seemed little reason to doubt that Mr. Coode, whose good faith was beyond suspicion, had stated the fact The men who are employed ia the iron country are for the most part little better than athletic savages. They have tbe strongest passions, the weakest self-control. Earning high wages, living well and being without scruples of morality, the result naturally is the triumph of animal life. Certain gentle men in the district—notably Sir Horace St. Paul, who lias rivalled his saintly namesake in untiring devotion to the cause of Christ— have labored unremittingly to sow some spirit ual seed amongst the people. And Lord Dud ley’s brother-in-law, Dr. Claughton, now Bishop of Rochester, who 'formerly held an important living in this part of the country, was another ardent missionary in this field. Although Lord Dudley shares the first Baron Rothschild’s dislike to paying his bills, so that his milkmen’s tutile dunning is one of the jokes ot London, he has never been ac cused of a want ot liberality where claims connected with his property are concerned— it is one which probably entails a greater re sponsibility thau any other in England, hav ing regard to its peculiar circumstances. Amongst Lord Dudley’s pleasures the opera has always held a large place, and he has pe cuniarily had large operatic interests. On more than one occasion he has played a generous part toward those endowed with vocal talent by aiding the struggling to reach the front. In appearance the Iron Earl is re markable— about six feet high and rather heavily built, with an extraordinary fuzzy head of thick black hair. It is said that a weil-known hair-dresser—Marsh of Piccadilly —accompanied him to A'ienna to keep this remarkable hair in order; which is likely enough, as he has been devoting a lifetime to this task, for his acquaintance with Lord Dud ley commenced at Oxford, where Marsh was a journeyman iu the service of Mr. Spiers, the proprietor of a very celebrated shop (Words worth’s lines “l*e Spires of Oxford, your pre sence overpowers the soberness of reason,” were, so Mr. Verdant Green’s cicerone in formed him, iu allusion to this remarkable establishment and not to architectural effects.) Lord Dudley was so pleas. -1 with the man that when he left college he he'ped to set him up in Loudon, where Marsh continues to flour ish. By bis second wife Lord Dudley has bad several children. Narrow Escape of Gen. FrrzHruH Lee. The Alexandria Gazette of Monday says : “An accident occurred at Richland yesterday after noon, by which a colored deckhand on board the schooner Joe Miller, named Luther, was drowned, and Gen. Fitzhngh Lee was with difficulty saved from the same untimely fate. The vessel had been loaded at Richland, aud Gen. Lee was being carried on board in a skiff by Luther, to come to this city, when, ’-nng the storm prevailing, the ekiff swamp- : and «unk.

The Czarowite dium height, very solidly and •* built, with a straight, martial figi carriage of a haughty and courage. He has the true ltoman off-cast o unco, that is, a square oval, lull in 1 rouud lull cheeks, full lips, ah m- round, determinedebin, short, straig nate looking nose, large, stern dark -; rather lowering brow. His hair is darl aud is closely cut to the head, and he rather long, dark moustache, with a fill military sweep at either end. He can not he called strikingly handsome, but he is a young man who would be noticed lor his manly healing and expression any where. His c: - .nny complexion is smooth aud sofi, and he has the appear- ance of having lived on tbe fat of the land. He is e\ ideally of a luxurious as well as active and enterprising temnerament: in both respects being thoroughly unlike his im perial papa. In one thing, however, he re sembles the Czar, and, indeed, this is a tra ditional trait of the ltomanoff; he wears a habitual expression of haughty melancholy, which seldom melts into a smile, and almost never into hearty laughter. The Emperors Paul, Nicholas and Alexander IL were all melancholy men;and Alexander I. had a deep, underlying sadness under his cherry and bluff exterior. This has been accounted for by the fact that the Czars, from their position," live in constant danger of assassination, and never can know from what source or in what man ner the blow may come. Certain i: is that the present Czar is timid aud is a victim to hypoebondra; which is accounted for by some by his habit ol taking too much alco holic stimulant, and by others as the result of a constant wearing fear of his life. The Czarowiteli, on the contrary, is a thoroughly brave man, but has probably got his melan choly by inheritance. Different as he is from the Czar in personal characteristics, he could scarcely do otherwise thau differ from him in his habit and in bis political views: and it is well understood that he has for some years assumed the role, which may almost be" said to be habitual to heirs to thrones, ot leading the opposition to the court. He sympathizes rather with his uncla Constantine" than with his father, and belongs to the warlike “Old Hussia’ party, instead of the internal devel opment party, favored by the Czar. The German intlueuce at the Russian Court are regarded by him with dislike aud disfavor. He is far from being friend ly with his cousins, the Prussian Prin ces, and during the late war was a frankly outspoken partisan of France, while his father was well known to sympathize with the Germans. Prince Alexander, too, not only disapproved ot, but vehemently pro tested against the policy of the emancipation of tbe serfs, though when that occurred he had not reached manhood. Iu short he is a type of the Cossack autocrat, pure and simple, with a sturdy dislike to reform and constitu tionalism and popular rights and the “peace ful march of progress” and abandonment of the Russian dynas^beipicathed bv Peter the Great to his succe-^-s. Had he been on the e past throne during the past three years, events in Europe would almost certainly have taken a different turn. France might have found an ally in Russia, and ere this Constantinople would perhaps have become subject to a Rus sian Governor; while in Central Asia England might have been defied, Persia invaded, and tbe Russian standard floating in the Persian Gulf. Comfort in Warm Weather. Few people understand how to make them selves comrortable in warm weather. In fact, a majority of us, in a hot day, unconsciously add “fuel to the fire” in a score of ways, which thoughtfulness and good judgment might lead us to avoid. The morning is close and sultry, which may doubtless be a pretty good excuse lor languor and laziness; but suddenly, perchance, the breakfast bell rings, and you must hurry to get ready, which is a grand mistake at the beginning ot a hot day. Most likely, also, some impatience comes with the haste, and the result is the blood becomes additionally heated. The common salutation, “ How hot it is ! I don’t believe 1 slept a wink last night!” the constant flutter ing of a fan. the quantity ot ice-water con sumed aud the perpetual doing nothing ex cept thinking and talking about the heat, all tend to increase the discomfort w hich, though we may not wholly escape in midsummer, is made quite endurable by proper management. The observance of a few’ simple rules will give coolness and comfort. Even those who have laborious duties to perlorm may take a hint from some plain suggestions, such as these: Never hurry: to which end do not be behindhand ia anything which must be done. Take light, cooling, but nutritious food, and don’t drink too much. Do not be forever talking about the heat—it makes one feel ten times hotter. Of course never get angry, aud do not fret whatever happens*, but keep the mind in a placid state. As a genera rule keep fans to be used in tainting fits. It you must go out iu tbe blazing sunshine do not be afraid to carry an umbrella. By all means, even if there is no necessity of working, provide for yourself some light occupation and attend to it diligently during proper hours; nothing makes one so thor oughly uncomfortable in hot weather as hav ing “nothing to do.” Avoid crowds; dress lightly in spite of fashion; take regular sleep and plenty ot it; bathe slowly: aud use moa- eratiou iu all things. AA'e might add a dozen or two to these impromptu suggestions, but we are much mistaken it attention to even these few will not greatly add to the comfort of every one who will give them a fair trial for one week of our “heated tern..” — Harper's Weekly. A Long Swim.—The Detroit (Mich.) Free Press of Saturday contains this paragraph : “A negro, named Joe Long, claiming to be h deck hand on the propeller Arctic, reached here yesterday from Maiden, claiming to have made cue of the longest swims recorded in this country for some time. He asserts that he fell overboard Wednesday, while the Arctic j was full two miles from Maiden. His cries j were unheard, and no one seems to have wit- ! nessed the accident.
