MYSTERIOUS SUICIDE.
An Unknown .Man Kills IlimnHf In the Ome
trry. Near llninbur-No Ulne to Hl
Ideality.
Yesterday morning, at an early hoar,
the body of a white man was discovered
in the little cemetery beyond Shnltz’s
Hill, sbont a mile from Hamburg. It
was stiff and cold, and life had evidently
been extinct for many hours. A donble
barrel gnn close by and the bloody and
mutilated head of the deceased told
silently bnt unmistakably how be bad
met his death. Trial Justice Balter,
acting coroner, was notified of the dis
covery, and proceeded to hold an in
quest. The investigstion developed the
following facte: The position of the
gnn and the msn showed that the mis
guided being had gone deliberately to
work to accomplish his purpose. He
first cut a forked stick and adjusted it
on the triggers of his gnn, bo that be
conld, by standing up, place the muz
zle of the weapon, whioh was Dear
ly five feet long, close to his
head, and discharge the barrels by
touching the stick with one of his feet.
The design was well planned, and it
succeeded. The charge struck the sui
cide just above the left eye and tore a
part of his head off, so that a large por
tion of his brains dropped ont and fell
into his lap. When found be had sank
into a crouching position, with his head
—a ghastly object—slightly bent for
ward.
On the page of a small memorandum
hook he had written the following words
with a pencil:
“Incnrable sickness, asthma, brought
me to thn. I beg for funeral; for this I
have in pocket sl9 and a watch and
chain.”
No name was signed to this, and there
was nothing abont him to indicate who
he was or where he came from. Two
red silk handkerchiefs in one of his pock
ets had the initials “G. B.” worked in
white silk in one corner of each. The
nineteen dollars mentioned in the
note were fonnd on his person,
and also the watch and the chain,
the former silver and the latter gold,
apparently. Among some miscellaneous
papers was the photograph of a little
child. The body was neatly dressed in
a black snit and a fine silk cravat was
abont the neck. The man seemed to be
about thirty years of age, with dark
brown hair and a moustache of a lighter
shade, face clean shaven (with this ex
ception). His bieght was probably five
feet eight or uiue inches. The coroner’s
jury, after brief deliberation, returned a
verdict to the effect that the deceased
came to his death by his own hand.
The body was placid in a neat coffin aud
carried to the old Coun> il Chamber in
Hamburg, where it will remain until ten
o’clock this morning. If no one claims
it by that time it will be interred in
Schultz's Hill Cemetery.
A man answering to the description of
the deceased was seen to cross the
bridge over the .Savannah river Wednes
day afternoon, with a gnn on his
shoulder.

the greater villain he becomes—though
perhaps it were not so in Shakespeare’s

the present day will make a man boast
that he can “lick all creation,” and
eight such smiles will convert him into

Mrs. Bennett was a medium highly
esteemed by the Spiritualists of Boston.
Her seances were made interesting by
the appearance of apparitions, in great
numbers and variety. She long with
stood the tests of investigators. How
ever, she was caught a few evenings
ago. Prescott Robinson, a firm believer
in Spiritualism, trapped her neatly and
succeesfnlly. She promised that in a
certain seance his dead daughter should
appear, and he had his friends there in
readiness. A form purporting to be
that of bis child emerged from the cab
inet in the dim light, aud handed a
flower to him. He pretended to recog
nize her, patted her on the head, and
then suddenly seised her in a firm grip.
One of his friends turned np the gas,
and all saw that the “child” was a wo
men walking on her knees. A general
fight ensued, the personaters of spirits
trying to rescue the women, and the
captnrere trying to keep her a prisoner.
She escaped, bat not until the humbug
bad been thoroughly exposed. Another
“spirit” ran out of the honse, scantily
attired, carrying most of her clothing in
her arms.

OUR FOREIGN FIELD GLASS.
THE FALL OF THE BRAVE ANI)
HAUGHTY.
Daman Pasha Harreadera Plevna la the Has
■daas—Desperate Sortie Before Arms Were
tiroaaded—The Vletery aad the Hpalls—
England Wishes to Mediate—MaeMmhen
Abandons His Cnhlaet—France Controlled
by the Will ef the Majority.
This week’s movements abroad have
been marked by decisive events. When
onr last foreign summary was made up
Plevna, the impregnable, filled with suf
fering warriors and surrounded by a de
termined foe, loomed np apparently in
tact in the Eastern struggle. In Ver
sailles, a haughty Marshal frowned upon
an uncompromising Chamber of Depu
ties, and an impotent Cabinet, who were
cringing at the feet of their master,
seemed destined to follow the sterile ca
reers of their lackless predecessors. In
seven days the aspect changes. Crises
have been met and two great agitations
have been partly alleviated; the one well
nigh decided ; the other satisfactorily
shifted.
On Monday morning, December 10th,
at an early hour, Osman Pasha,
commanding Plevna, convinced that his
case was hopeless, determined to bring
his part of the campaign to a focus. Dis
appointed at his inability to receive suc
cor from abroad, and despairing of bis
ability to preserve vitality within, he
emerged the siege into a sortie, and af
ter five hoars desperate fighting, was
captured with bis fortresses and army.
It appears that the Russians had inti
mation some days in advance as to the
drift of affairs, and doubtless strength
ened their lines aronnd the trembling
prize. Notwithstanding this, however,
Osman crossed the Vid by two bridges
and attacked the Russian position with
sneb fury that they captured eight can
non, and in a few minntee almost anni
hilated a whole regiment of grenadiers.
The Turk, then found themselves under
the fire of one hundred cannon, and were
attacked in turn by the grenadiers, who
resolved to recapture their gnus.“ The
Turks were driven back after a fifteen
minntea bayonet fight, bnt continued to
fire from a shelter of the banks of the
Vid until 12:15, when firing ceased on
both sides, and a qnarter of an hour
afterwards Osman sent an envoy to treat
for surrender. Subsequently it was an
nounced that the surrender was uncon
ditional. This intelligence, of course,
rapidly spread, and was received
in Russia with great joy, pub
lic demonstrations taking place in the
large cities in honor of the Royal Fam
ily. It was supposed that Osman Bar
rendered about forty thousand prison
ers, although it has since transpired
that only 27,000 men constituted his
fighting force. Abont sixty cannon and
many hundred wagons were among the
trophies. There were three weeks’ pro
visions still on hand, and ten days' ra
tions for the army in his transport
train. The immediate cause of his aban
doning his intrencbmentß was the break
ing out of an epidemic among the troops.
There were forty or fifty dead bodies a
day in Plevna. There were no men
available to bury them, and the mortal
ity was increasing. Eight hundred sick
and woimded are in the hospitals. Like
Kars, however, the importance of this
victory is not ganged by the amount of
booty captured or the number of sol
diers captured. As Kars was the eye of
Asia Minor, so Plevna was the key of
Armenia, and its possession by the Czar
opens the passes of Orchanie and Eleua,
through the Balkans, to Adrianople and
the fertile valleys around and abont.
This blow has evidently disconcerted
England, as she seems inclined to urge
negotiations at the preseut juncture;
but the animus of the Porte points
to a bloody resistance to the end.
The War Party, in fact, is believed
to have largely the ascendancy in
Constantinople. The Turkish Par
liament has just been opened and
was calmly addressed by the Sal
tan, who, after re-affirmiDg the de
claration of the Constitution that all
classes of subjects are free and
equal under the Turkish Government,
asserts that Christian subjects should
be willing to bear the burdens of war as
they enjoy the benefits of peace. It is
stated also that two Christians have
been appointed Governors of Provinces.
These gracious aots, however, will have
uo influence with the invading foe, who
wish to secure possessions as well as to
ameliorate certain Turkish subjects.
The next important step in the Russian
campaign will be in Asia Minor, where
the mounting of Krupp guns against
the walls of Erzeroum augurs the early
fall of this famous fortress.
The Yell Kent in Tyranny’s Temple.
The week opened in Franoe gloomily
enough. The Bonapartists seemed de
termined to back up the Marshal in his
extreme measures, and M. Batbie, to
whom had been intrusted the task of
forming anew Cabinet, was as far from
a satisfactory completion of his t isk as
over. The Marshal appeared imbedded
iu his violent polioy and declared that
he would resign rather than reopen ne
gotiations with DuFaure. He still be
lieved that he had the support of a ma
jority of the Senate. On Thursday,
howover, a deputation from the Boua
partists interviewed the President and
declared that they oould no longer sup
port his policy. How much this influ
enced subsequent evonts the reader may
judge by reading the following state
ments from our cablo dispatches : ‘‘The
Batbie Cabinet was intended to tempor
ize until the end of the year and then
Srooeed to a blebiscite or dissolution.
I. Pouher Qnertier, in the presence of
President Mahon and Cabinet, violently
inveighed against such a coarse. The
President, upon becoming fully aware
that it was illegal, severely condemned
the advisers who piompted him to it.
He wrote ont his resignation and de
olared he would never see the Duke De
Broglie again. Those present, however,
persuaded him to re-opeu negotiatious
with M. DuFaure. President MacMa
hon granted M. DuFanre fall liberty in
the choice of his colleagues. ” It ap
pears like a square baok down for the
Marshal, but it was certainly a prudent,
if not a patriotic surrender. This ter
mination of the affair has given general
satisfaction, and the manly, conediatory
tone of MaoMahon’s message to the
Chamber leaves no oanse for alarm in
the Budget will he
immediately voted.

A GENTLE HINT,
In onr style of climate, with its sud
den changes of temperature—rain, wind,
and snnshine often intermingled in a
single day—it is no wonder that our
children, friends and relatives are so
frequently taken from us by neglected
colds, half the deaths resulting directly
from this cause. A bottle of Bosohee’s
German Syrup kept about your home
for immediate use will prevent serions
sickness, a large doctor’s bill,* and per
haps death, by the use of three or four
doses. For caring Consumption, Hem
orrhages, Pneumonia, Severe Coughs,
Croups or any disease of the Throat or
Lungs, its success is simply wonderful,
as your druggist will tell you. German
Syrup is now sold in every town and vil

SOUND REASONS FOR FAITH.
The American people are shrewd and
observant. They are not often deceived
by sham pretensions ; bnt when they
are, they soon discover their error. If
Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters had been a
sham, they would loDg since have dis
carded it; but finding that there was
not a claim put forth iu its behalf that
its curative properties did not ’"jtify,
they immediately gave it the pi Terence
to every article of its class. Time has
only served to strengben their faith, and
has increased its popularity to an extent
almost beyond parallel, even in this age
of successful proprietary medicines. It
ranks foremost standard pre
parations of the day, and is endorsed by
the medieal fraternity and the newspa
per pre.-s. It overcomes and prevents
fever and ague and other malarial dis
orders with wondrous certainty, tones

Weekly Review ef August* market.
Augusta, Ga.. Friday Afternoon, )
December 14, 1877. I
General Remark*.
Trade this week has been better than for
several weeks past. Onr stores are the scenes
of increased activity and onr streets are filled
with wagons from the country aad bayers
generally from abroad. The commercial por
tion of the city has put on a more active ap
pearance and U evidently preparing to don its
holiday garb. Business is brisker and the
approach of Christmas seems to give the
customary impulse to seasonable goods. Con
trasted, therefore, with the pas’, few weeks,
we can give a more encouraging review this
morning, bnt onr trade does not compere with
last year’s in any particular. From the veiy
commencement of the busy month it was evi
dent that Augusta would be disappointed in
this year’s operations. From the effects of s
bad season onr daily market reports have
mirrowed unprecedented fallings off in ootton
receipts, and to-day with three and a half
months of the season gone, the discrepancy
seems to be alarmingly increasing. Indepen
dent of local or temporary ’ causes militating
against onr prosperity, the fact is daily be
coming more apparent that the ootton
crop of the State and of the Sonth
has gieatly decreased from last year’s produc
tion. Picking even in the most backward
States will cease abont the 25th instant, and
the National Exchange report recently tele
graphed the Chronicle and Constitutional
ist proves clearly that the per ceutage in the
South is largely in arrears of past years. With
out the great fleecy vivifier, we can do noth
ing. aud its absence is felt in every channel of
trade. To ehow that we are not alone affected
by ajdrag in business, one has only to read from
the New Y'ork Financial Chronicle of last week:
“For the week ending December 7, the total
receipts have reached 174.365 bales, against
172.216 bales last week, 200,950 bales the pre
vious week, and 194,571 bales three weeks
since, making the total receipts since the first
of September. 1877, 1,672,882 bales, against
2,031.398 bales for the same period of 1876,
showing a decrease, since September 1, 1877,
of 357.516 bales.”
It is no wonder, then, that in summarizing
our local business for this week, we are com
pelled to admit that the present revival is
more apparent than real ; and that the notice
able activity obtains in retail establiahments
and fancy wares rather than in onr wholesale
emporiums and staple articles. The toy shops
and variety stores are reaping their nsual and
well earned harvests; the dry goods men are
not overlooked in the daily bazaars, nor do the
grocery men suffer from a scarce demand of
the substantials and delicacies of the day; or
ders, however, are mostly from the city and
immediate neighborhood, country business be
ing nnnsnally small,
Financial Market.
During the first part of the week Georgia
Railroad stock was sold at 67), bnt there haTe
been no sales reported since the Board of Di
rectors passed the dividend. Central Railroad
stock has been sold at 51, and the dividend de
clared on Tuesday, of $2 50 per share has as
yet wrought no change in the market. There
is quite a retail demand for city of Augusta
bonds, but large sales are difficult to make.
Holders of Port Royal endorsed bands are in
clined to feel more confident since the actios
of the Board of Directors of the Georgia Rail
road. State bonds are in demand, both 6’a
and 7’s, but the amount on the market is quite
limited. Holders of Savannah bonds have
reaped no comfort from recent negotiations.
Money still continues tolerably scarce, at ten
per cent, on good collaterals, although the
market has been somewhat firmer this week,
owing to an increase of town deposits, ena
bling the banks to extend more accommoda
tion. Exchange has been offering freely, buy
ing at one-quarter to three-eighths discount
and selling at from par to one-eighth dis
count.
Cotton Market.
The tone during the past woek has been
steady. Receipts since September amount to
94,214; last year, 180,043, showing a difference
of 85,829 bales. Last week this difference was
only 34,( 86 bales, and week before, 30,288. —
Guano debts are generally well paid up, bnt
comparatively little surplus crop has been re
ceived here, not enough, in fact, to buoy the
money market so as to lighten exoliange for
merchants payiog Northern debts.
Produce Markets.
in this line there is very little change. Ba
con is exceedingly low, bnt a rebound is confi
dently looked for, as moats have about touch
ed bottom. Flour is somewhat easier, al
though there is but little better demand, and
we can mark uo material change. Orders from
the country are coming in somewhat brisker,
but our city mills fail to report much improve
ment, as local buyers supply only immediate
wants. The Bharp advance in the West has
not affected this market. Grain receipts of all
kinds are small, wheat being dull and depress
ed, as local millers are buying sparingly. New
corn is better at 72, no old being upon the mar
ket. In this line, at least, there lias been less
business done this season than for many years
past. Coffee is quiet, sugar unchanged, ditto
molasses. In the retail provision market,
business is very good. Eggs and butter are
advancing for the holidays, tho dressed poul
try trade crowding live birds from the market.
Liquors are in good demand, with prices un
changed. Temporary fluctuations are con
stantly occurring here, but thebe do not great
ly influence the market. Trade In hardware is
better than for some weeks past. Dry goods
tire active, holidays and pretty wither bring
ing out purchasers of this line of g;gpds. The
wholesale trade is also reported brisk. v
