MIRIAM MONFOBT,
By f. A. Warfield—PubfiNherl by D. Apple-
ton Se Co., Now York
Mrs. Warfield is a daughter of Maj. Nathaniel A.
W are. and % native of Mississippi. When very young
« ie inarrie 1 Elisha Warfield of Kentucky and re
move 1 to that State where she has ever since resided.
In I'WS, she appeare 1 as an author in a book of
poems conjointly with her sister, Mrs. Lee. Subse
quently another poetical work came before the pub
lic of greater merit. A moug the lyrics in the second
work, one of the most striking is entitled: “I have
seen this place before,” in which the author embodies
the Platonic and Socratic opinion of the prior exis
tence of the soul to this bodily life.
Mrs Warfield's great work winch established her
high position as a litterateur is her two-voluraed novel,
■ Tl,e Household of Bonrerw"—“a stoiy of lifepu Ken
tucky, lull of striking dramatic effects, mystery, pas
sion, thought and suffering.' .
Beauteincourf, her second novel appeared in W>7.
Tliis book was injured by changes made at the dicta-
tion of the publisher, Curleton; to the di**&tiblautiou of
the author.
As sequent to Beauseincourl comes Miriam Mon-
f rt, a story of a right royul maiden of the tribe of
Judali. . ... , _
Like all of Mrs. Warfield'* works, this book has dis
tinctive elements and merit, all her own, aud quite
unlike any other American novel There is no maud
lin sentimentalism to sicken the palate of the most
squeamish; but strong, bold figures, aud well denned
striking land-marks of thought, which ever character
ise the product of the higher types of genius.
Home of the characters that figure iu this^ volume
are of French origin; and all are lar more trench in
nntures and action than American. Bask Bainrotne is
a most thorough-bred and accomplished villain find
plays his role well throughout; nor are his accomplices
much inferior in their well concerted persecution of
the wealthy, generous Miriam.
The thrill of the story is iu watching the develope-
meat of a well conceived and daring plot for the
destruction of a fair young girl, aud the capacity the
author has to extricate herself from the difficulties
aud intricacies of situation iu which she surrounds the
intended victim.
The heart aches to know how she will come out of
the tangle of events, with the same nervous sensation
We would watch an acrobat poised ou the slender
thread in midair. We tremble lor the characters
quiver for the author, yet like the skillful acrobat
she walks the wire she has reared sately—magnifi
cently, and iu the end the reader feels like sending up
a joyous shout that victory is hers.
There are some eloquent passages in Miriam Mon-
fort. The raft floating with its pulsating burden out in
the moonlight on the wide Atlantic is one of the most
striking.
Underneath ^all the glamour of playfulness and
■pititedwitticisms the author deals out so lavishly,
there is a deep, muffled undertone of melancholy thal
tells of unsatisfied yearnings in the heart of the writer
but she knows where peace is to be found in a re
echo of the profound words of the celebrated I ho mas
Kenipig, who answers this question with the sublime
r enponse. “/n retirement and with, God. _

Special Report of the Augusta Constitutionalist.
tlie adjournment of the Warren Superior Court
tor dinner, the people gathered iu the Court house to
hear the views of Gen. Toombs, touching the financial
and political evils afflicting the country, aud Georgia
in particular. &
The speaker slated that lie appeared before them
in response to a request of many friends, deeply im
pressed with the inexorable necessity of a uuited and
organized effort of all good citizens to arrest, it possi
ble, the tide of rum winch now threatens the destruc
tion ot the property ot the country and the liberties
ol 1 lie people.
In his opinion, our present financial embarrassments
are the legitimate Jesuits of the pernicious practice
ot planters borrowmg money to makecotlou ; togeth
er with the gigantic frauds foisted upon the coimner-
cial confidence oi the people bv the magnates of
these synuicate developers and fi lends of the tyrants
at Watlnngtoo, in their wild speculations with other
people s money; building railroad* in localities where
the commerce of the country will not pay
lie urged the planters to abandon at once this ruin
ous practice and to live within their own means, make
their provisions at home and all would again become
prosperous, happy and great
He aflitined (hat the building of an ox cart was
among the lost aits in Georgia, and that planters gave
as an excuse for buying Northern hay that grass
wouldmot grow in this country, when it is known to
be a lact that, dating the growing season, ueaily ev
ery man, woman and child, black and white, able to
work, are laboring hard to kill grass— \et it will not
grow, forsooth, in this State
His advise lot he planters with regard to the dispo
sition of the present cotton crop was to sell enough
cotton to pay their debts at once, and return at home
the i emaiuder until money was easier and pi ices more
satisfactoiy.
He was rejoiced to see the planters o ganiz rig for
their protection against the oppressive exactions ot
vast railroad monopolies, aud lire corruptions of u’e
signing pel ticians. He urged the organization of their
Granges aud farmers’ associations Ilecaied nothing
tor their forms nor the secrets oi their body. He was
with them in the fight, and would not hesitate to ac
cept the aid ot the devil iu the struggle against the
enemies of his country.
He called upon the people to hold c >unty meetings
and instruct their present Representatives to vote at
the next session of the Legislature for a convention ot
the people to abolish the present State Constitution
and adopt the old Constitution, uuder whicn we had
grown to be a prosperous, great and Imppy people.—
The inherent evils incorporated in the present funda
mental law of the State, in the opinion of the speak
er, are the material results of the great length ot office
tenure. He was in favor of enacting the usury laws
of James the First, which not only subjects the of
fending party to the forfeiture of his money, hut in
flicts in addition corporeal punishment with a cat tail.
All corporations should he confined strictly to their
chartered privileges, lie had brought suit against I lie
Georgia railroad for freight charges iu excess of tin ir
chartered limits T lie case was carried to the Supreme
Court, and while the court was not base enough to
decide that b s client’s money was legally taken, yet
they were base enough to hold that inasmuch as the
claimant had consented to pay the overcharge the
railroad had a right to keep the money.
This is but a taint and feeble outline of General
Toombs’ speech- It is given as an item ol current
uews and tor public information.

ICnrc Agricultural K’roriuct*.
We have been shown by Mr. ,J. T. Hunt of Jones
county, a bunch ot what lie calls Texas or Douro
corn—a small sample of a little crop raised hy him
the past year. The Douio corn is of the mi let vari
ety. and produces at the top of the stalk a large dus
ter of white round grains about the size of pigeon
shot—we suppose a pint to the cluster. The seed, when
ground and bolted, resolves itself into an almost per
fect similitude of the buck-wheat flour, and is said to
be equally as good for batter cakes.
As the stalks spring up as thick as millet, it is diffi
cult to limit the product of grain on good land. Mr.
Hunt, who had but a small patch upon red day up
land, fertilized lightly with cotton seed, believes the
product was at the rate of ICO bushels of grain to the
acre, while at least 4,000 pounds of good forage ought
to be gathered from the same area. Both grain aud
torage are very acceptable to stock.
Mr. Jones had also a sample of jute raised by him
self from a few seed obtained from the Patent Office
Sown late, the plant shot up a lusty growth aud attain
ed an altitude of six and eight feet,showing that there
is no difficulty in producing any amount of jute on our
uplands. This specimen of fibre was between four
and five feet long and very bright and shiny. lie
thinks about 4,i|t 0 pounds of fibre can be easily pro
duced to the acre, aud, if so, the crop would he worth
at least $200. Unquestionably the Southern States
ought to make a regular crop of jute and manufacture
the bagging for all our million bales of cotton.

The Memphis Clergy aual the Yellow Fever.
The Memphis Avalanche says—
“If there is in our midst oue class more conspicuous
than another for untiring devotion to the sick and dy
ing it is the Memphis clergy. There is no duty from
which they shrink. At the dsad hour of the night, as
at noonday, these ministers of God are found wherev
er sickn»ss or death calls for their services. Kneel
ing at the bedside in prayer, ministering to the siek as
nurses, or serving as messengers for medical aid, they
labor without ceasing. They do not wait until their
presence is invoked. Braving tlie pestilential air of
the infected district, they go from dwelling to dwelling,
from hovel to hovel, seeking those who may need
their services. Four have fallen martyrs to tiieir holy
duty—fallen while relieving poor frail bodies from pain
and pointing out to the dying tlie straight, narrow
patli that leads to heaven. But the others press for
ward to fill the places vacated by Hie Angei of Death
—to close the ranks widened by those who until a
few days ago stood beside them, shoulder to shoulder,
like brave comrades advancing to a charge iu battle.”
The School Fund.
The teachers of the public schools iu various por
tions of the State, who have waited so patiently for
their pay, will doubtless be gla 1 to learn that there is
now a probability that they wid soon receive the
amounts due them. It is announced that the State
Treasurer, in view of the delay already experienced,
is ready to give county treasurers orders on the tax
collectors ol the counties for the amounts due teach
ers of the public schools. This will prevent further
delay aud save the expense of forwarding the money
back and forth between the counties aud the Capital.
It is to be hoped that county treasurers will make
prompt application for the orders in question.—Sar.

Sale of the Brunswick and Albany Railroad.
We learn from one of the commissioners that the
terms of the sale ot this road were as follows:
One hundred and fifty thousand dollars cash, in a
sight draft ou New Y’ork, made payable at the City
Bank of Macon—the balance ($380,000.) in six months.
No title to pass until all is paid. If not paid within the
specified time the $150,000 will be forfeited. As soon ns
the $15d,00U are paid, the parties are put in possession
as custodians of the commissioners. The purchasers
say they intend to complete the road to Eufaula.
The State, having refused to recognise the legality of
her endorsement on the bonds of tins road, was not a
paitv to the suit, and had nothing whatever to do with
it. i’hiss.atement is made in answer to inquiries as to
the status of the State in regard to this suit and sale.—

In tlie course of a speech delivered in Augusta last
week, by Mr. C. W. Howard, he said: ‘ It is project
ed by the Granges to establish a bank <>f accommoda
tion, also for the benefit of farmers—supplying them
with money at a low rate of interest with which to run
their farms. It is believed that ti-',(KK) bales of cotton
can be controlled by the State Grange, upon which a
capital of $ i ,000,000 could be secured for this hank.—
When the organization is completed, and tlie amount
„f the present cotton crop of Georgia is somewhat
definitely ascertained, it is also proposed that the State
Grange shall fix the price of cotton for this crop at 18
or zO cents, or such sum as in their judgment may
seem beet.

It is reported from Washington that a majority ot
the Cabinet are in favor of restoring the (ranking
privilege to the Departments, aud the Postmaster-
General will oppose a restoration. Those who favor
it argue that the present system adds to the revenue
of the Post Office Department at the expenses of the
other Departments, and is iu the interest only of mail
contractors. There is no prospect that Congress will
give the Department a frauktug privilege without
sharing it, as President Grant's salary was only in

Not long after his return Hall was
taken sick. For two weeks he con
tinued in bad health, but now and
again he would rally and appear well.
On the morning of the 8th he died,
and on the 10th we buried him half a
mile south of the observatory. We
were now in an embarrassing condition,
but I considered it still our duty to
press toward the Nortli pole. In con
sequence of some little differences
which occurred before Cap.aiu Half’s
death, as well as from the novel posi

the harmony which had prevailed was
now more than once seriously broken.

TO THl WEST! TO THE WEST!
Before making your arraugemeuta to follow tlie advice of the
“thousands who have already goue,” it would be well to consid
er wliat has been done to make the journey to your “Homes in
the West” as pleasant aud as free from danger as human skill
aud foresight c&u accomplish.
By consolidation and construction a road has been put intp
operation on the shortest possible line from Nashville, Tpou.,
to SL Louis,’ the future great City of the world.” This line,
the
St. Louis A. Southeastern Railway,
has, during the past year, earned an enviable reputation by its
smooth track, prompt tin»«, sure connection*, and the magnifi
cence of it* p»s*e»»ger equipment. Its trains are made up of
new and commodious day cars, provided with the celebrated
Miller coupler aud platform, aud the Westiugliouse air-brake
It is positively the only line running f*uJlman Palace Drawing-
Room Sleeping Cars through without change from Nashville i«*
St. Louis. No oilier lftic pretends to offer such advantages,
either in distauce, time, or equipment. Why, then, journey by
circuitous route*? Do not l>e induced to purchase ticket* to St.
Louis or the West by any other line, remembering that
The “mt. Ii«ni* Sc ttouthcaatrrn”
is the shortest, cheapest, quickest, best aud only line uuder oue

THE 03LY KNOWN MEDICINE
flint nt tlie snm<* Time
Purges, Purifies, and Strengthens the
System.
Dr. Tail's Pills are composed of many ingredi
ents Prominent among them are Sarsaparilla and
Wild Cherry, so united as to act together; the one,
through its admixtnte witli other substances, purify-
ng and purging; while tlie other is strengthening the
ystem. Thus these Pills are at the same time atonic
and a cariiartic,a desideratum long sought tor hy med
ical men, but never before discoveied* In other
words, they do the work of two medicines aud do it
much better than any two we know of, for lhey re
move nothing from the system but impurities, so that
while they purge they also strengthen and hence they
cause no debility and are followed hy no reaction.
Dr. Tail’s Pills have a wonderful influence on
the biood. They not only purity without weakening
it, but they remove all noxiuns particles from the
clijl before it is converted into fluid, and thus makes
impure biood an utter impossibility As there is no
debilitation, so there is no nausea or sickness attend
ing the operation of this most excellent medicine,
which never strains or tortures the digestive organs,
but causes them to work in a perfectly natural man
lier; lienee persons taking them do not become pale
and emaneiated, bat on tiie contrary, while all impu
ritics are being leinoved, the combined action ot the
Sarsaparilla aud Wild Cherry purifies and invigorates
the body, and a robust state of health is tlie result of
their united action. Price. 25 cents a box. Sold by
u'-l druggists. Depot 48 Ccrtlandt St, New York.
