Such shoving, elbowing, pulling tend lugging I have never wit nessed. At 12 o clock precisely the Executive Committee inude their ap* peurunce, and the doors were thrown open. Then came a rush.

The. old goutlemaii hastily rose and drew Ids card from his pocket and was in tho act of handing it to Mr. Hiehurdson when ho was held hack by his friends. In the meantime nothing could be heard hut shouts of “order.” On motion of a gentleman from Mass., the question upon the adop tion of tho report was divided and tho first part of it relating to tho election of oflieers adopted. While tho Commit tee appointed for the purjiose, wore conducting Mr. Cushing to the Chair. Mr. Flournoy inode a fow remarks as ho retired, expressing his gratitude for the distinguished honor that had boon conferred on him, hy being selected to preside over such a body (I was of the opinion that he was glud to ho relieved from tho position.) He exhorted the Convention to iguora sections and act harmoniously in the further duties be fore tlmm ; said something about dele gates coming from tho “lund of perpet ual flowers nml the hind of eternal ice- bergs and perpetual frosts." lie was not tho man lo preside over such a distract ed and disorderly body and was not well acquainted with parliamentary rules. re seem* I Hon.

Every one of these goods can ho made in Rome and their manufacture, judiciously con ducted, would yield largo profits. Tills lias been true othorwhoros. Wo learn from the Columbus papers tlmt tho Kuglo Manufacturing Company of tlmt place has bought tho Howard factory.

The Time* says that, witli tho addition of tho Howard factory, the capital of tho com|KUiy is $.179,000.* The calculation is that it will “turn about 10,000 cotton spindles, 1300 woolen, 282 looms and will require 0 hales of cotton and 1000 (KHinds of wool per day.

The history of the Eagle Company has demonstrated that such results wore entirely due to injtidieioua management. It has proved tlmt not only is it /mstibfe to make that business profitable at the South, hut that the South isjntr excellence the region in which the greatest success can he achieved.

Tho Con vention then adjourned until 10 o’clock to-morrow morning. The Committee on credentials met last night. There appearing no contes tants from Illinois, tiie sitting delegates were permitted to retain their scats.— They decided that Georgia was entitled to only twenty seats and referred tho matter to tho delegation from tlmt State to decide who should occupy them.— Hon. Henry It. Jackson attempted -to bring tho matter before the Convention upon a question of priviledge but was ruled out of order; the Clmir deciding tlmt it could not bn entertained until tho report was submitted by tho Com mittee. Mr. Jucokson stated among other things that tho idea had gone forth that tho Georgia Democracy were divided, but it was a mistake, she came here to day in the Convention united and harmonious.

More than three pig’s feet and a half, . mince pie eaten at midnight, will not generally cause the consumer to dream of houris, paradises, accommodating bankers, ana other good things. At least they are not apt to do so. Never stand in tho rain barrel all night. It checks perspiration, and spoils ram water for washing pur|ioses. Never spank your children with a handsaw, or box their oars with the sharp edge of a hatchet. It is upt to af fect their brains. Never stand in tho hall with tho door opon with nothing but your ho-miso or she-miso on, talking to a friend more than half an hour at atitno. To enlarge tho muscles of the arms und legs, climbing up and down tho chimney, especially if the houso is a four story one, three or four times be fore breakfast, is a cheap exercise, nml gives a voracious appetite. Ear ache in children is a common nnd vexatious complaint. To cure it at once liore a hole in tho tympunum with u gimlet, und pour in oil and tilings. If tho child keeps on crying, boro it all waX through to tho other ear. Corns may bo easily cured. The most torturing corn enn at onco bo extirpa ted, as follows : Taken sharp knife, find tlio joint of tho too wheroon the corn reside, insert tho knife in the nr^ ticulation, pry ofl' the too nnd tluow it away; it will nover return again, unless your dog brings it back to you in his mouth. (Patent a; plied for.) The habit of drinking cun he cured by giving the drinker ull the liquors lie wants to drink, all the time. Wo know ‘ two in our experience who were cured three weeks. One jumped out of a four story window and ran a curb stone into his head; the other didn’t get up one morning, und has u universal curb stone growing out of his head in tho gruvo-ynrd. Tho best way to take pills of Bran- droth’s description, if you have twenty or twenty-five to take, is, not to make them into a hash und oat them, but load a shot gun with them, put tho nuzzle against vour stomach and pull he trigger with your toe. It suves a deal ot disgust to the gullet, and n bad taste in your mouth. Never go to sleep standing on your head. The brain might take •» notion run down; and wliut would you do, waking, to find all your brains in our head ? Never sliavo your whiskers with a hatchet. The best method of trim ming is to pa-*.H a red-hot iron gently over them. The operation smoothes them regularly, giving the end of each rispyai Late "News. ' JL.

The Ego in the Bottle.—Tho London Field explains tlio mystery of nn egg in a bottle, which has so often puz zled tho people. Thbj is how it is got there; . . “Take a good sound egg, place it in strong vinegur and allow it t<? remain twelvo hours. It will then become soft and elastic. In this state it can bo squee zed into a tolerable wide mouthed bot tle ; when in it must bo covered frith wa ter having some soda in it. In a few hours this preparation will restoro tho egg nearly to its original solidity* after which tho liquid should bo poured off and the bottlo diicd.” You noed not tell any ono that tho lien laid it there while in a soft state.— Leave tho puzzled to guess it.
