Sunny Weather.—The sun yester
day shone out upon the shadeless earth
as warm as a summer day. Winter
clothing was an actual discomfort, and
overcoats were thrown aside as super
fluous luxuries.
The thunderheads look watery and
threatening. This unseasonable weather
is having its effect upon the health of
the community, and colds and lassitude
are prevalent.
City Offices. — There are several
offices in the gift of the City Council.
There are quite a number of active ap
plicants for those offices. This fact
suggests the idea that the pay of those
offices is highly remunerative for the
services rendered, and could with safe
ty bear a reduction. Would it not be
well for the Council to follow up the
good work of retrenchment begun by
their immediate predecessors, and re
duce the pay of these petty officers ?
A rigid cnomy is demanded by the
times.

Corrospondence of Brooklyn Argus.
Au Historic Scene.
Chief of them was Alexander II.
Stephens. General D. M. B. Young
and General Waddell, of North Caroli
na, supported the brilliant, intense,
magnificent tactician of other days to
His feet. He took their arms and dis
pensed with the significant crutches
that had been stacked in front of his
desk. He stood right at the beginning
of the middle aisle of the house.
1!}’ felicitously dramatic or happy
design, all the rest of the many ex-
Confederates ranged in a semi-circle
on either side of their former Vice-
Drcsident. Then the modified oath was
taken by them with uplifted hands,
and assented to with au unanimous
and quietly elegant bow. There were
many magnificent looking men in the
company; I doubt that any one ob
served them ; the pale, suffering, distin
guished little man in the middle was
the cynosure of all eyes. He was
dressed in exquisite black, tis if in
mourning for his country.
In sitting, ho had worn his hat to
protect him from the draught. In
standing, he dispensed with it, and
disclosed an abnormally large head,
pierced with intensely black and deep
5 and covered with a short, disor
dered growth of iron gray hair. When
lie responded to his name the strong
soul in him was manifest, for his clear,
sharp, penetrating voice, the echo of
that soul, was heard distinctly all over
the house. The ethereal part of the
man is as strong as ever. The physical
is a wreck. It was an historical scene.
He who for fifteen years before the
war had been the leader par excellence
of the house, returned to subscribe to
the oath administered by a speaker
who was never heard of when Stephens
left Congress, or three years thereafter.
In all the house were but two men who
had been his Congressional contempo
raries—“ Sunset Cox, then of Ohio, and
John B. Clarke, then and now of Mis
souri, who had a three months of no
toriety fifteen years ago by flinging
John Sherman’s endorsement of Hin
ton Rowan Helper’s “ Impending Crisis”
at John Sherman’s head, and there
by defeating him for speaker, though
Henry Winter Davis’ single vote elect
ed William R. Denington, a Jersey Re
publican, to that office.
Well could Stephens say he stood
dying, the solitary survivor of many
great dead. Gone was Thud Stephens,
the incarnation of hate; gone was J.
R. Gildings, the abolitionist, whom
Stephens himself loved; gone was the
courtly ex-Governor Briggs, of New
Y’ork, and the uncouth Mike Walsh;
gone was the fiery Keith, and gone the
fearful and wonderful Covodc; gone
the eloquent Lovejoy and the mellow
Mallory ; gone Herscliell V. Johnson ;
gone Bocock and Y’ulce, and Edmond-
ston, and Clingham, and the impetuous
Brooks, and Dotter, and Rector, and
I’hclps, and Rollins, and Winter Davis,
and a thousand once statesmen of
either party, and there was the man on
whom, twenty years ago, Death had
apparently set his seal, survivor of
them all, and representative of the
greatest district of the Empire State of
the South.
Background this contrast with fear
ful four years of intersectional throat
cutting, and the dramatic facts of the
occasion stand grim xvith graves and
lighted by intense cerebral fire.
The national debt of Italy has reached
the respectable amount of 8807,472,920.
The Storm King.
From the Cherokee (Ala.) Advertiser
we take the following discription of a
terrible tornado that swept through
that county on the 3d instant:
Crossing Coosa river somewhere be
tween Garrett’s and McGhee’s ferries
the storm took a northeasterly direc
tion, crossing the river again near
Sewell’s ferry. Its route between these
two points was principally through a
maiden forest of the largest pines, and
these aged monarclisof the forest which
had braved the might of winds and
defied the lightnings of heaven for so
many ages, were snatched from their
thrones and hurled like chained cap
tives to distances whither the breezes
of Indian summer had never carried
their winged seed—they were blown
like chaff before the wind.
The swath of the hurricane averaged
a width of about one hundred yards
and in this track there is nothing left,
tlie very soil in some places is torn up
and carried away, and where the soil is
left the small shrubs that were too
low to be broken off are twisted and
worn down to stubbs. Fences were so
completely destroyed that a stranger
could never find where they stood.
Large bams and gin houses were
literally crushed and carried several
rods from their foundations, and in
several cases dwelling houses were so
completely demolished and blown
away that the owners could not recog
nize their own yards, hut wonderful to
toll, so far as we have been able to
learn there was not a single human
being killed, nor any valuable stock
seriously injured 1
In one case there was a bouse built
first of large hewn logs and then
weather-boarded outside and ceiled in
side, and inhabited by some women;
the inmates were in bed when the
hurricane struck the building—they
heard a tremendous roaring, and the
next tiring they remembered all was
calm, they were in the yard, house gone,
every vestige of shelter gone, and they
left without a refuge from the pitiless
flood of rain that immediately follow
ed the wind as though heaven was
weeping over the destruction of a re
bellious element!
From this house a log some twenty
feet long and twelve inches square was
carried to a distance of one quarter o
a mile; the furniture has never heard
from, the clothing and lirearing appar
el was tom in shreds and the most of
it gone, no one knows where; the cook
ing utensils were broken into atoms and
the cats and mice were carried to that
land where all are friends.
In some places the ground was plow
ed up from one to one and one-lialf feet
deep, ten to twenty feet wide and from
fifteen to twenty yards long and blown
away!
We are informed by a communica
tion from Dr. E. D. J. Echols, which
we arc sorry to say came too late for
insertion in this issue, that where tlie
hurricane crossed the river at Sewell’s
ferry it left a similar devastation. The
dwelling of Mr. Oliver Sewell, which
was a new and substantial house, was
torn to pieces and carried off, himself
anil family suffering no serious injuries
to their persons except some slight
bruises. In this case as in the one
above mentioned, the destruction was
instant and complete; stables, houses,
house furtiturc and everything scatter
ed beyond all hope of finding or re
pair.

public, at the bride’s mother’s, Mr. C.

Cottun Receipt* at Rome.
The various warehouses in this city
have received up to the 15tli inst, 10,-
953 bales; shipped up to same date,
9403 bales; leaving balance in ware
houses 1550 bales.
Fine Porkers.—Mr. J. N. Wimpee
has slaughtered two pigs, aged 111
months, which weighed in the aggregate
610 pounds. This bears tlie palm over
any pigs we have yet heard from in
Cherokee. It shows what can be done
in the way of raising provisions at
home. If every mechanic in tlie city
was as thrifty as Mr. Wimpee, there
would be no dearth of provisions.
A Good Investment.
We present the advertisement of the
Mayor of tlie city, offering 820.000 of
Rome city bonds for sale, and in doing
so we would ask the critical notice of
capitalists to the splendid character of
these bonds and the unshaken security
that is pledged for their redemption,
and the prompt payment of their in
terest
Every foot of ground and every brick
and shingle in the city is bound for
these bonds. They constitute a perfect
mortgage upon every dime’s worth of
real estate in the city, and there can be
no better security in the world. The
growing interest of Rome, and its
rapid increase in real estate values,
will still more favorably appreciate the
value of the security.
Those wishing to invest their money
in good paying securities can find no
better chance to do so. Sec the adver
tisement of the Mayor.
Meeting of Fair Stockholders at the City
Hall, December 13.
Pursuant to notice the stockholders
of the Agricultural and Mechanical
Fair Association of the Cherokee
Country of Georgia and Alabama met
in convention to-day (Dec. 13).
A majority of stock being represented,
Col. A. A. Jones, president, called the
convention to order, and read his
annual report, giving a statement of the
operations of the Association, action
of the board of directors, and the finan
cial condition of the Association up to
date.
(The report was not turned over to
me, which accounts for its non-appear
ance in these proceedings.—Secretary.)
On motion, it was
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
convention that the affairs of this
Association be closed up and that all
its indebtedness be discharged.
Resolved, That a committee, consist

question is mooted, what our

3c likely made nothing strictly
anjw. It is likely the sun was made
perfect at the creation, its rays con-
taiaing the seven primitive colors—
tojvit, red, orange, yellow, green, blue,
indigo and vtolet. All then lie had
do: was to gac those colors differ-
enj degrees of refraction, so that the
colors will be collected but contiguous,
whtn the sun’s rays pass throngh
suitable medihm such as a prism or
glo)ules of mist
The rainbow is spherical, as its
medium is spherical; and if the vol-
unje of medium be great enough, there
wif be more than one rainbow.

during the week violent storms all
over the country have signalized the
beginning of winter, and now the
prairies of Kansas and Dakota have
added their share to the general disturb
ances by taking fire and compelling
while towns to abandon all business
except that of fighting flames. What
will houses blowing down and prairies
burling up, the' Western people have
had a very lively time, and will be glad
when the calm coldness of extreme
winter shall have arrived.
:Y wash composed of lime, salt and
fimvsarid or wood ashes, put on in the
ordinary way of whitewash, is said to
render shingles fifty-fold more safe
against taking fire from falling cinders
or ctherwise in case of fire in the vi
cinity. It pays the expenses a hun
dred-fold in its preserving influence
against the effect of the weather. The
old«r and iaore weather bealen the
sliiigles are the more benefit derived.
Such shingles are generally more or
less warped,trough and cracked. The
application J>f a wash by .wetting the
upper surface restores them to their orig
inal or first form, thereby closing the
space betwen tlie shingles, and the lime
anil sand by filling up the cracks pre
vents the warping.

Reuconter in the Flatwoods.
We hear of a desperate renconter
between a man named Hicks, and
Dabbs, in tlie Flat (roods last Saturday,
in which Hicks had one of his eyes
gouged out and sustained other severe
injuries. Hicks was the aggressor, and
is said to have been drunk.

than they have ever been sold for in

W. M. & J. A. Gammon.
Rome as a cotton market has been
constantly growing in the estimation
of the public ever since the war, but
never has the evidence been so palpable
during tlie present season. We
believe it is now pretty generally con
ceded that it is the best market between
Selma and Augusta. There are a large
number of buyers here—some of the
largest of whom buy on commission oidy
— and thus the market is kept up
uniformly, and is never controlled by
little rings of speculators.
Before the war tlic largest crop ever
received here was in 1859-60, and was
about 25,000 bags. Since the war the
receipts have varied from 12,000 to
16,000 until tiffs year. 9,403 hales
have already been received here this
season, and tlic prospect is that tlic
entire crop will come up to about 18,-
000 hales. Tlic cotton already sold in
this market has been at an average of
about 12 cents, or 860 per hag; and tlie
9,403 bales have come to the very
handsome sum of 8564,180.
With these facts before them, what
is the use of fanners talking about
“ hard times,” “ panics,” “ money
crashes,” and the like of that. Just
think of it: over half a million of
dollars have already been paid out for
cotton in Rome tiffs season!! And
there will he about as much more paid
out before the first of next March.
We beg the people to take their
fingers out of their eyes, and look at
the facts as they are. There never lias
been since the war more money among
the masses of the people than there is
right now, and it is tlie worst nonsense
in the world for tlie people to get
frightened because a few hanks and
speculators have got into trouble, and
hide away their fifties and hundreds
and thousands, and try to make believe
the money is not in the country.
The money is here, and every man
ought to use all he has freely. Pay all
your debts, and then put the balnncc
into active operations somewhere.
There is a thousand dollars hid away
in the pockets of the people where
there is one in the hanks, and if .tlie
people will cease to hide away the
money they have got, they will soon
have no reason to complain at the
banks, the panics, or anything else, but
will be iu the happy realization of the
sweetest flush times that this section
has ever known.

A Manual of Health.
An edition of between nine and ten millions
of eopies of a very useful work is now ready for
gratuitous distribution, and can be bad for the
asking at any drag store in the United States,
the British Colonies, Spanish America or Brasil.
The work referred to is llostetter’s Almanac for
1S74. The medical portion of it treats of the
various ail meats to .which the human sjstem is
subject, and sets forth tbejmcnliar properties of
llostetter’s Stomach Bitters—the purest and best
tonic at present known—ns a preservative of
health and strength, and a remedy for debility
and disease. The Almanac is printed in all the
principal languages of the civilized world, and
reaches a larger number of families and indi
viduals than any other medical treatise that
ever issued from the press. No man or woman
who has due regard for that choicest of heaven’s
.blessings, bodily vigor, should fail to read,the
plain, simple and convincing articles which
this truly practical publication contains. The
miscellaneous matter is varied, instructive and
amusing, snd the calendar department copious
and comprehensive. llostetter’s Almanac is, in
•b#rt*.ahousehold convenience, adapted to the
use of all vIattos and callings. The farmer, the
planter, the miner, the merchant, the mochanic,
the laborer, the professional man, all need It
and to invalids cf both sexes it is literally an
article of prime necessity. The medical tech
nicalities which now render so many medieal
troatises intended for popular use unintelligible
to the general reader, have bean carefully avoid
ed in this pamphlet All is clear, explicit,
forcible, and reconcilable with science and
common sense.
The publishers, Messrs. Hostctter k Smith,
Pittsburgh, Pa., will on receipt of a two cent
stamp, send the Almanac by mail to any address
