Cricket supercedes polo in New Y ork. The O’Leary-Hughes promenade continues. Congressman Acklen seems to be a genuino do-do. Rarus gave some evidences of speed to-day in St. Louis. The “Evening Sentinel” is the cheapest paper in tne South. In Texas they punish tramps by putting them in cells with lunatics. Senator Dawes thinks that the Butler party is fast losing strength in Massachusetts. Senator Thurman’s illness was very inopportune, and may injure uis Presidential prospects. Gen. Joe Johnston is a brilliant talker. His manners are of the old school and he is a profound Demo crat. Nothing but a steady dye-it will preserve the reputation of a mous tache on the face of a red-haired man. Daniel 'Webster’s widow’ is still alive, though very aged and .in fee ble health. She resides at Rochelle*, New York. The New York “Herald” contains a oopy of Chin Lan Pin’s credentials to Washington, printed in the Chi nese language. The French statesmen are doing their level best on a system of tariff that will look to free trade to Ame rica, but protection to France. When Jeff. Davis re-enters the United States Senate he will begin thus : “As I was saying when inter rupted by the late unpleasantness,” etc. Tramps of Ackrown, Ohio, seem to be well organized. They route po licemen “at the point of revolvers,” and appear to have their issues high ly pooled. The disasters resulting from rapid transit in Brooklyn are fearful. The last accident was a female proces sion run into; two persons killed and five wounded. • The Greenback element in the Democratic party of Nebraska has captured the Convention of the par ty and placed three candidates pre viously nominated by the soft money men upon the ticket. The Eastern question at last turns upon its true pivot, and the bounda ry between English India and Russia seems to be surveyed with the sword for the compass, taking the first de parture in the Ameer’s territory. It is a constant source of com plaint among our diplomatists abroad that owing to- the lack of a uniform they are on the state occa sions of the effete despotisms con stantly mistaken for waiters in their unbedizzened black coats. The New York “Times” asks: Why should not Miss Anderson ap pear as diomeo f Her broad and lover-like manner would suit per fectly this- ideal of amorous man hood. Miss Cushman’s success in this part will not soon be forgotten. MOVING AND AFTERWARD. We rapidly forget evils that have passed, in the first intensity, and therefore the many persons who have been obliged to change their quarters recently are presumably happier this day than they were on 1 “blue Tuesday.” Moving in Au- J gusta is not quite so serious a thing ( after all as it is in large cities, w’here , pushing and scrambling cause very often serious difficulties. But, un der the best of circumstances, unless indeed it be a transfer from squalor to elegance, from a rookery to a palace, it is a sore trial to body and mind, not to speak of furniture and glass ware. Our sympathies go out more particularly to the female members of the household. To them it is no joke. Pater familias is gen erally satisfied with the reflection that he has to pay the money for the move, and so has business up town that day. He dines at a restaurant or hotel, and contrives to get to his new habitation as late as possible. But the poor little mater fa milias has stood like a Trojan from early morn till after noon directing the draymen, watching jealously every disarranged article, and vowing audibly or secretly that “ this is positively the last time she will ever undertake such a job.” She has forgotten how often that oath has been previously made and broken. But “ this time” she means it or thinks she does. She has to play nurse perhaps—nurses always get sick on moving day—and be tween one anxiety and another her distraction is almost complete. She has provided a cold lunch for the children but eats nothing herself until every article has been safely transferred. Then she abandons va cant premises to commence a battle royal with the newly occupied domi cile. What a chaos there is to bring into order I And yet how bravely that little woman tackles it! Here she is helping put up a bed or put down a carpet; washing this thing or arranging that. The work to complished is enormous, but her en ergy is imparted to her assistants, and pretty soon matters get into something like ship-shape. Then our little lady sinks down half exhausted but comparatively happy, and the “thank God it is almost done !” as sumes proportions at once intense and devotional. Then, about supper time, the lord of creation stalks in and assumes an air of supreme im portance as ifhehad himself achieved all these wonders. Well, the worst is over for a year anyhow, so far as moving is concern ed, and we hope all of our readers who had experience in this matter are pleased with their change of base. e ■ The Hot Wave Recedes. (Memphis Avalanche.] The fever, although abating in cases, is not as malignant as it was several days ago. It gradually, as the cool North winds greet us, be comes milder, and one can judge from the death rate, if correctly re ported, that persons who take it from this time on, have at lest two chances out of three of getting over it. Good nursing, with a firm de termination not to give up, in addition to simple remedies, is two thirds of the game. Our people have lost all the appearance of panic, and are now cooly awaiting “their turn,” as it were, like the soldier who goes out on picket knowing not whether he will ever meet his comrades again. Citizens, who have gone to the country, expecting to avoid the scourge, are returning, knowing it is useless to remain where there are no phy sicians, no medicines, and, in fact, nothing to alleviate the suffering of the distressed humanity being out of the reach of succor. The death rate and new cases, consequently, may be increased thereby, but our hopes lie in the early appearance of of frost, which undoubtedly will be here by sth or 10th of October. The extremely early Spring and the ex cessively hot Summer, give excellent indications of this fact. At least, we all fervently pray for White Jack, who will be the annihilator of the Bronze Steed.

Verdery & Co., on Broad street. It may be that altitude does not affect fever; but incase of an epi demic here, the man in “Big Steve” would have the drop on things. The Augusta Guide book will now be out in a short time, and the gen tlemen having it in charge propose to do full justice to the responsible work. A fine stone crossing is being laid down on Broad street, leading from the Planters Hotel to Richards’ dry goods store. A much needed im provement. An up-countrv lady who sent one of her husband’s coats to the yellow fever sufferers, pinned a note to the collar requesting that if it didn’t fit it shouldn’t be sent back, Too much pooling around the rail : roads and too little “pooling” in the river bank seems to be breaking up steamboat navigation on the river. Low water and quick freights. The new felt bonnets are called “camel’s hair felt,” says a fashion journal. Be not deceived, ladies. Very likely if you wear them you will never know bow “camel’s hair felt.” No matter how thoroughly you clean the house, the wife of the riext man who moves in will declare that it is not fit for hogs to live in, and will slop suds around over every thing, trying to make it fit for hogs to live in. OUR CARD BASKET. The San Francisco “ Chronicle ” calls the mother-in-law “The Queen of Terrors.” Prominent young lawyers are now making copious extracts from carpet rolls to muffle the footfalls of their clients’ tread. The Charleston “News and Cou rier” says : “Miss Gertrude Johnson, who, as an amateur, made a very favorable impression last season on the thea trical public of Charleston and Au gusta, is now reading- in Brooklyn, where she is pursuing a course of study under Prof. Gabriel Harrison.
