He g°t Mr. Johnson, salesman in Mr. Har- pold’s store to come up, and on opening the .'oor of Maj Morgan’s office found a hole burnt through the floor. Three buckets of water thrown in it extin guished the fire, but the water broke through the plusterirg aud damaged the goods bvlow to the amount of about one hundred dollars.

Roberts, of Taylorsville, proposes to give thorough instruction in double-entry book-keeping. He has orders for twelve—from the counties of Floyd, Bartow, Poik and Paulding—to stand examination in Atlanta, October 1 1878. He claims that he will give as good instruction as the Atlanta col leges, and at half the cost. We had the pleasure ot a call yester day rom Dr. E Beckwith, of Muncie, Indiana. The Doc.or visits our State with a view of looking up a location, if things appear favorable. We hope he will be pleased, as we would be glad to welcome him and more like him from the great Northwest as citizens of the Empire State of the South. That something in the air—“Say, John, it’s not the spicy breezes that blow soft o’er Ceylon’s isle, but it is the unmistakable odor of the unequalled b-niliz-rs kept by Horn & McGhees” “That’s so.

We took from t 'e postoffice lastSatur day morning a postal card wth the fore going written on it. It had neither the name of the writer nor ths office at which lie receives his pa^er. Nor was the card stamped with the name of th- postoffice at which it was mailed. If he will let us know who he is, and thf office to which his paper goes we will discontinue the paper. O 'r subscriber has our sympathy in his affl clion, and the fact that he stuck to the Courier until he got too blind to read only tends to increase our regard for him.

A languid circulation, a torpid state of the liver, a want of vital stamina, are conditions peculiarly favorable to malarial diseases. They are, however, surely remedied by the great Preventive, which, by invigorating the system and endowing it with regularity as well as vigor, provides it with a resistant power which enables it to withstand disorders uot only of a malarial type, but a host of others to which feeble and ill regulated systems are subject. The Bitters are a safe as well as searching eradicant, have How to Pat Oat a Fire. Some readers who l.ve in neighbor* hoods where no steam fire engines re spond to tue fire alarm, may learn much from this communication to the Portland Press: One gallon of water at the bottom of a fire will do more to quench it than ten gallons at the top. Play low is the true motto of firemen. If the first engine that reached the Summer street fire in Boston had hurst iuto the warehouse and played iuto the goods elevator, where the fire b oke out, it would probably have saved fifty millions of dollars. To play on the roof of a house on fire is to waste water; the roof was made t« shed water; the rain does not pul out the kitchen fire, nor would the Peuobscot, flowiug bodily O'- the roof, put out the kitchen fire. x L'i Play low, get the water to the bottom of the fire, and you need not pour in the Penabscot. A few gallons at tiie bottom of the fire will rise in clouds of steam whenever the fire is rising, and will quench it. Ev. n a heap of ruobish turns rain and water like a partial roof. ' A gill of water thrown into the bottom of a grate quenches the fire more than a quart thrown on top.. , f“ ; T F. j Fora similar reason, water on the windward side is more effective Than on leeward; I am speaking now of a mod erate fire, when there are only one or two houses burning. The big blazes oo the leeward look fearful, but they cannot be affected by playing on them. Throw your water into the bed of the coals under the retort that is sucking them, and it goes out. That is to say, play at the bottom of the windward side of the fire, and you take the surest aud speediest way to quench the whole, leeward size blazes included. Houses Twelve Stories High- In the West End of London, in a neighborhood known Queen Anne’s Gate, a banker named Haukey, bas built some enorm- ns “mansions” overlooking St. James Park aud not far from the Metropolitan railway station of that name. The houses are the highest iu Eog’and—12 stories—perhaps the high est in the world. They are let in flats, upon a new associated principle; and Mr. Hankev has chosen for his own apartments the highest story, where he commam s the purest air aud views of the park, Surrey hills, and northern heights. The suites of apartments are so eagerly sought after by those who wish to avoid the cares of housekeeping that Mr. Hankey is building a second block 12 stories high. The teuauts are chiefly bachelors, whose suits contain a bed-room aud sitting room; but there are al“0 fam ily suites of teu rooms. Elevators, of course, travel to each story, and electric bells and speak’ng tubes are in every room.

The so-called prophecy of Mother Shipton is one of the clever frauds per petrated several years ago. In 1862 Charles Hind ley, of Brighton, England, published what he said was a reprint of an old edition of Mother Shipton’s pieces, hut has since acknowledged that the “wonderful prophecy” and some other pieces in the book were written by him at that time. This prophecy, which originally was claimed to have been written in 1488 and repnblihsed in 1641. was first wrought out of the brain of Mr. Hindley iu 1S62. Who Mother Shipton really was is not known. It is probable such a woman lived about 148S, but nothing but tradition is known of her. The prophecy is not worth reprinting, as it runs the circuit of the press every year or two.

I was a boy widely superseded that dangerous drug, OD .?\Vas you smart?” “Guess I was! Why, before I was seven years old I could take the family clock all to pieces I” “Could you?” exclaimed the lad, his eyes sparkling with admiration as the man passed on. He got a new brace for his feet, indulged iu some hard thinkmg, and all at once spoke up. “What a fule I am, that I didn’t sass him! Any fule of a boy kin take a clock to pieces, but it takes a man, anti purty smart one, to get the wheels together agin! I’m jist as discouraged as I was before, and more, too 1” The Bain Tree.

Among the many virtues of the eu calyptus or biuegumtree is the proper ty of absorbing moisture, andins ances are related in wbicn moist and marsh places have been made compaaratvely dry by planting trees of this species upon them, although this method cf draining has not yet come into general use. There is another tree whose prop- ertes are as wonderful as the blue gum. It is the rain tree of Peru ; it is said that moisture drops from its leaved aud branches all the time, and that in some substances the ground around it becomes swamp. It would appear from these facts that by a use judicious of these tre-s which are so opposite in nature, the wet Inch are so opposite in nature the wet ind dry places wet—that deserts may be turned iuto ewamiwund swamps into ieserts.

A short time ago a sedate-looking oung man of five mid twenty Walked into the Central station and said: I was sitting in a saloon down here in piece, minding mv own business, aying nothing to nobody, when a big allow with a double chin walked up and spit on my head.” “Did, eh ?’’ queried the captain, “Yes; and then he said he begged my pardon—thought my head was a wood box ” And what did you say ?” Why, I didn’ say nothing, but I’ve been thinking it over, and there’s a deep mystery about the transaction.” “He didn't think your head was a wood box—he meaut to insult you,” replied the captain. “That’s just what I think,” replied the young man. ‘’Wood boxes are al ways square, while my head is round, and I don’t believe he could make such mistake,” and the youug man went out musingly. Through Southern Mails. The Richmond Slate claims to have reliable information that the postal commission, which pic-nicked-over the country last year, will ask Congress to establish three fast mails for the South, ns follows: 1. The Coast Line, passing through Richmond, Weldon, Wilmington, Cnarleston and Savannah, to Florida. 2. The Central Air Line, passing through Danville, Charlotte and At lanta to New Orleans. 3. The Kennesaw Line, passing through Lynchburg and Knoxville to North Alabama. The Coast Line through Florida will carry the Havana maiL The Air Line through Danville and Atlanta will carry the New Orleans mail. The Kennesaw Line through Knox ville will carry all the mail belonging legitimately to its territory.
