Georgia Attain.
The Rome Courier says that a vote taken
on the train coming out from Atlanta last
Saturday morning, the coaches being filled
with people from the Seventh district who
had been attending the North Georgia Fair,
resulted In one hundred and eleven for Les
ter and six for Felton, and Dr. Felton was
on the train himself.
A correspondent of the Atlanta Independ
ent writing from Bellton, Georgia, states
that a most remarkable case of bargain and
sale took place near that place a few days
ago. It was a sale which almost equalled the
famous buying and selling of the Presidency
by the Southern returning boards. It seems
that a white woman, about twenty-one or
two years old—compos mentis—actually
bought from an elderly woman her son, for
the express purpose of making a husband
of him. The young man was said to have
been about twenty years old; the mother,
however, sold him for a muslin dress and a
few yards of calico. The trade wa6 made Sun
day, and the man was to bo delivered three
miles from the purchaser’s house the Tues
day following, and although that Tuesday
wao a bad day, one of those cold east rains
that is common this season of the year
prevailing, the fair purchaser walked her
three miles in the rain to get possession of
her investment. Says the correspondent:
“This is no hoax, but true; the names could
ail be given if necessary.” The contract
having been closed on Sunday, however, is
void in the eyes of the law.
The gin house of Mr. John Scarborough,
of Hawkinsville, was set on fire, and, with
twenty bales of cotton, was totally destroyed
on Wednesday night last. The incendiary,
a colored man named Leon Phillips, was
captured and committed for trial. There
was no insurance on the cotton, and Mr.
Scarborough’s loss in consequence is con
siderable.
On Friday of last week a man named
John L. Downs created a decided sensation
in Hawkinsville by entering the restaurant
of Mr. Frank Herzog of that place, in com
pany with a colored man, taking seats and
calling for dinner. The Dispatch says that
this attempt to inaugurate the civil rights
bill in Hawkinsville was not relished by
those witnessing it, and Mr. Herzog’s atten
tion was called to it, that he might protect
the reputation of his house. He proceeded
immediately to eject the colored raau from
his table and to inform him that his action
was an unwarranted liberty. Herzog then
turned his attention to Downs, who, by this
time, had also made his exit. On finding
him upon the streets Herzog denounced
him in no mild terms, and warned him never
again to enter his house.
A red-haired countryman, having upon
his shoulder an old-fashioned flint and steel
rifle, reached Hawkinsville last Saturday,
en route to the State Fair in Macon, where
he expected to engage in a shooting match
with the famous Dr. Carver, the most re
nowned shot of the world. We suppose
that the match failed, or our enterprising
special correspondent would certainly have
telegraphed us the result of the contest
long since.
The Buena Vista Argus admits that Marion
county cannot hold a fair, but it asserts
that “for raising big ‘taters,’ long cane
and pretty girls, she is ‘ hard to. get away
with.’ ”
During a fair for the benefit' of the yellow
fever sufferer, lately held at Dublin, the
young ladies raised a considerable sum by
selling kisses at ten cents a piece, three for
a quarter.
Quite a sensation was created in Eastman
on Sunday evening last by the discovery
that the “New York Store” of that place
had been burglarized, and robbed of seven
ty-five dollars in money and several smaller
articles, while about two hundred and fifty
dollars worth of goods were packed up by
the thieves to be removed at leisure. It
was finally ascertained that the store had
been entered through a hole bored through
the floor behind the counter, and just large
enough to admit a man’s body, which hole
had been neatly covered up to prevent de
tection. It is supposed, says the Timm,that
the deed was committed by two flash
looking strangers, who were in
the town on Saturday, and that early on
Sunday morning, when no one was about,
they secreted themselves under the house,
and one worked while the other kept guard.
This could be very readily done without de
tection, as the house is latticed around to
keep the hogs and dogs from getting under.
After committing the act they probably
kept quiet until they could escape under the
cover of night. # The parties were tracked
on Monday as far as Gum swamp, where all
further traces were lost.
The editor of the Eastman Times got off
the train when near hi® residence on last
Tuesday, and, by accident, instead of step
ping on the ground, he happened to get off
on a trestle and fell through, about fourteen
feet. He is badly but not seriously hurt.
We learn from the Albany Netcs that on
Thursday last, October 24th, an unknown
negro man, who seemed to be on a tramp,
entered the store of Mr. Dennis Nelms, at
Oak Lawn, and after talking awhile and
giving his name as “Peter,” started off in
the direction of towffi. After going a few
steps he took a seat by the side of the road
and shortly afterwards some one discovered
that he was dead. The Coroner summoned
a jury and held an inquest, and a verdict
was rendered in accordance with the above
facts.
The rumor that Squire James Hendricks,
who resided in the Lickskillet precinct,
above Statesboro, in Bulloch county, had
been killed by Mr. Madison Woods, is con
firmed by gentlemen who came to the city
yesterday. The cause of the killing was an
old family feud. It is stated that tbe de
ceased attacked Woods with a knife, when
the latter siezed a heavy piece of lightwood,
with which he struck the former on the
bead, killing him almost instantly. Nothing
as yet has been done with Woods, as the
killing is considered justifiable, and he con
tinues to live as usual at his residence in
lickskillet.
Dr. Carver, the champion marksman of
the world, will give exhibitions of his skill
on the 14th and I5th instant, at the Thom-
asville Fair. As has been heretofore stated,
tickets for the round trip from this city have
been placed at five dollars.
Butler Herald: “A little negro girl was
accidentally shot one day last week by a
negro man who was out in the woods near
the house shooting a chicken. The gun
with which the shooting was done was a
Kentucky rifle, and was loaded with a
handful of peas and two buckshot. There
being a skirt of woods between the man
and the child, he did not discover her, she
being fifty yards distant. When the shot
was fired the chicken was killed, but a
ball passed through the woods, striking the
child in the groin, inflicting quite a severe
■jvouad,”
A correspondent of the Columbus En
quirer, writing from Lumpkin, says: “Yes
terday, on Mr. Black’s place, about three
miles from here, two negroes got into au
altercation, and one of them stabbed the
other in a fearful manner, from which he
died a few hours afterward. The one
doing this deed is a son of the negro who
was tried for arson and 6ent to the peni
tentiary for ninety-nine years, he having set
fire to a store, burning It and several other
houses. The son, ‘a chip of the old block,’
will very probably be sent to join his father
here, or in a world to come.”
Hawkinsville Dispatch : “Byrd Hester,
the young man who was taken from Coffee
county jail to Laurens county to answer to
a charge of disturbing public worship, was
convicted week before last, and sentenced
by Judge Pate to six months In the chain
gang or pay a fine of sixty dollars. Efforts
were being* made to raise the money to pay
his fine.”
Jonesboro News: “The negro man who
was killed by the freight train near this
place Wednesday night, last week, was a
railroad hand by the name of Henry Win-
ship. The pay train settled up that day
with the hands, and this unfortunate son of
toil got drunk and lay down on the track.
His head was cut in two and his body
mangled.”
Albany News: “On Monday evening last,
about dark, one Orse Smith, colored, at
tempted to cross Tift’s bridge without pay
ing toll. Mr. R. A. Hall, the bridge-keeper,
demanded toll of him, when the negro
spoke very harshly to him, but finally paid
the amount, saying to Mr. H.: ‘You Btole
that nickel from me.’ Mr. Hall then ap
proached Smith, when the latter drew his
knife and inflicted three severe wounds upon
Mr. H.—one across the forehead, another
under the eye and another on the left
shoulder. Mr. Young, the bridge watchman,
attempted to arrest the negro, when the
black scoundrel cut his clothing in an at
tempt to kill him. A colored man on the
bridge then took hold, and the negro Smith
slipped away from him and made his es
cape. Orse Smith, the escaped criminal, is
about thirty-five years old, and was the boss
workman on the plantation of Mr. I. Kieve,
about three miles from town on the Blue
Spring road. It is hardly probable that he
will escape justice. Mr. Hall’s wounds arc
very painful, but he was able to go to his
father s home, Fort Valley, on Tuesday, and
we hope he will soon recover.”
Quitman Reporter: “One John Smith,
alias Rollison, an escaped convict from Mr.
Green Chairs’ convict farm near Tallahassee,
was lodged in the jail at this place last Sab
bath evening by Mr. Rodgers, the section
master on the section of the Atlantic and
Gulf Railroad east from Quitman. By Rol-
lison’s own confession, he escaped from the
convict farm last Saturday three weeks ago.
lie stopped in the southern portion of this
county, just a few miles on this side of the
State line, with Mr. Henry Hewlett, with
whom he engaged work. Last Saturday
morning, about four o’clock, he left the
premises, and took with him two suits of Mr.
Oliver Hewlett’s clothing, his silver watch,
pistol, razor and strap. It seems that
he went up to Mr. Rodgers’ house on Sun
day evening, and informed Mrs. Rodgers
that he had taken (stolen) the clothing from
the above named party, and wanted to leave
them with her and get her to send them
back. Mr. Rodgers came up about that
time, and being informed of his confession,
at oucc arrested him and brought him to
Quitmau aud lodged him safely in jail. The
Sheriff on Monday dispatched to Mr. Chairs,
giving a description of the fellow, who
answered at once to hold him until he
could send for him. Of course our authori
ties will not object to turning him over to
Mr. Chairs by his paying his board,, for we
will thereby get rid of the expense of con
victing him in Georgia for an offense similar
to the one committed in Volusia county,
Florida.”
The Atlanta Sunday Gazette, speaking of
the North Georgia fair, says: “But the raau
of all others to whom the success of the fair is
due, is Mr. B. W. Wrenn, the tireless and
sagacious Secretary. Mr. Wrenn had a
somewhat vigorous opposition when he first
offered for the place, but before he had
been in office a month all opposition had
vanished, and it was conceded ou all sides
that it was the very best selection that
could have been made. On Thursday of
the fair, two gentlemen who had sold their
stock through opposition to Mr. Wrenn,
stepped up aud took live hundred dollars
each instead of stock, confessing that they
bad been mistaken, and that Wrenn was the
man of all others for the place.”
Franklin News: “A little infant of Mr.
William Spradling, living near Corinth, was
drowned iu a tub of water on last Saturday
morning. The mother of the child had filled
the tub with water and left it near the house
in the yard. The child went to the tub and
by some means fell into It, and when the
mother returned she found her b&be i
corpse.”
LETTER FROM SOUTH FLORIDA
The Approaching Election—Colonel
Davidson at Our County'Seat—The
Enterprise aud Progress of .Hana-
tce—Piue Level and Fort Ogden,
aud their Enterprise and Improve
ment.
Fort Ogden. October 25.—Editor Horn
ing News: Ou last Friday, Fine Level was
alive. For the first time in her history
Congressman, and he the people’s choice,
the honored representative of the South
Florida Democracy, was on hand with the
gifted son of oratory, Wilkie Cali. The day
was one of the fairest, all nature seeming to
smile on the auspicious occasion ; and
well need she, for the beautiful and brav£
had met to do honor to the man of their
choice. Democrat and Republican will cast
their votes for Davidson, and for one time
Manatee will vote solid, for each see that
Mr. Davidson has the progress of the coun
try at heart, and they know that political
prosperity means their own advancement.
The candidates for the Senate and
Legislature here are known, and
did much for the success of the
mass meeting and barbecue. The Green
back Labor party has failed of an organiza
tion, in spite of the work and prophecy of a
few weatherwise and busted politicians;
and so it should everywhere. A united
South is our only hope, and all who love our
sunny land should never abate their zeal in
the Democratic ranks.
Manatee county is on the true road to ad
vancement, and never before in her history
has she presented a better chance for the in
vestment of capital. At the town of Mana
tee all is thrift aud prosperity. The leading
merchant, John W. Harllee, has recently
been appointed Colonel of the Florida
troops, adding another honor to one of
South Carolina’s worthy sons. John
W. Whidden received the next appointment
of Lieutenant Colonel, a fitting tribute to
each for the four years of warfare
waged for a cause lost, but oh ! so dear.
Meu, your States and people can and will
never'forget you. San; Mitchell was never
a politician, but if you wish to find one of
the town’s most genial sons, hunt him up.
And there is the Major (Turner); the bul
let received during the Indian war oft
reminds him that the way of the brave is not
the pleasantest way to honor. Col. E. M.
Graham should not be forgotten, for
to whom does Manatee owe more than to
our warm-hearted aud whole-souled County
Judge. Mauatee has semi-weekly mail and
steam connection with Tampa and Cedar
Keys. Her merchants are progressive aud
are rapidly building up one of the prettiest
cities of the Peninsula. Pine Level is also
improving, and in a few years the bustling
village will give way to the enterprising
town. E. O. Morgan «& Sou are the largest
dealer.- here, and the junior, Crit Morgan,
promises to lead this section in young men
of enterprise.
At my own home, Fort Ogden, the march
of improvement is everywhere visible. This
i» the home of most of South Florida’s cat
tle kings (except Myers), and they are plac
ing their money in the improvement of their
home village. At present the great draw
back is want of cheaper and more direct
eocimunication. The Tampa mail line
should be extended to Puuta Rassa, and
then we shouid have river and bay commu
nication with the outside world. Our Con
gressman has promised to look into this.
Will he not give it his serious attention ?
This place is at the head of navigation on
Peace creek, only distant eight miles from
Charlotte harbor. If some one would place
a small steamer upon Charlotte harbor,
they could quickly make a fortune.
Lands are still cheap here, but rapidly ad
vancing in value. Now is the time for in
vestment. All seem to get along very well,
though the preeent year has been the
wettest in the annals of oqr county. The
storm in the early part of last month reused
the river twelve feet above high water. The
whole country was inundated, and thous
ands of dollars swept away. Ogden Bluff,
the highest on the river, only lacked six
inches of being entirely under. I will close,
hoping our sunny land will never again be
visited with such a storm. C. B. P.

London, November 1.—The result of last
Sunday’s elections for municipal delegates
in seventeen thousand communes of France,
so far as known, leave no doubt of the issue
of the Senatorial contests on the 5th of
January next. The returns are not complete,
but those received go to show that eleven
departmepts, now represented by twenty-
seven Conservative Senators, have been
won by the Republicans, namely: Herault,-
Ille et Vilaine, Indre et Loire, Lot, Lot et
Garrone, Manche, Marne, Mayenne, Muse,
Nord and Puy de Dome. The Republicans
having lost no department, this gain is more
than sufficient to turn the majority in the
Senate. A Republican majority of at least
twelve or fifteen is confidently expected.
THE EGYPTIAN LOAN TO BE PLACED ON THE

A HORRIBLE CRIME.
New York, November 1.—A dispatch

where Miss Kennett, a young school teacher,
was outraged by tramps who, fearing identi
fication, cut out her tongue. The
victim seems to have had strength
enough remaining to have written
her wrongs on the blackboard in tbe school

evidences of the crime in the lifeless vic
tim on the school-room floor, and her
written story on the blackboard.

Clean Steal of One Hundred and Eight

New York Special to Cincinnati Commercial.
The custom house officials have discov
ered frauds on the revenue amounting
to $108,000, perpetrated by R. A. Ped-
rick, custom house clerk of the dry goods
importing house of Benkard & Hutton,
in Broome street. Pedrick is thirty-two
years of age, and has been in the firm's
employ for fifteen years. He would re
ceive gold from the firm to pay duties
and would pay on one or two cases
of goods and receive a permit to with-
drfftv them from the warehouse. To
this permit he would add numbers
and marks of three or more cases,
the duties of which he would ap
propriate to himself or divide with
the customs officers. The government
has begun a suit against Levi P. Morton,
of the banking house of Morton, Bliss tfc
Co., who is on Benkard A Hutton’s cus
tom house bond, for $120,000, and also
against the firm for $108,000. The lat
ter will attempt to prove that they are
not responsible, as custom house officei s
received part of the money embezzled.
Prederick, in a letter to his wife, prom

Church in Chicago, but now of Bay City,
Michigan. No clue as yet has been ob
tained of his whereabouts.
Tiie Pressure on tiie President to
Send Soldiers to the South.—A spe
cial from Washington to the Baltimore
Sun is as follows:
“ In the last few days a pressure has
been brought to bear on the President to
induce him to authorize the detail of
troops in the vicinity of election precincts
in South Carolina, Louisiana aud Texas,
and perhaps one or two other States. It
is alleged that the colored people have
been so intimidated that they will not
dare to undertake to vote unless armed
by ocular propf of military protection.
The statutes have been ransacked in the
effort to discover some loophole whereby
the clause in the last army bill relative to
the use of troops can be gotten around.
Those who are active in this matter are
also among those who are manufacturing
the imaginary Southern outrages which
were spoken of last night. It is said that
they have succeeded to the extent of
obtaining authority for the employment
of the usual horde of deputy marshals
and election supervisors which has
swarmed all over the South during elec
tion times. The President does not as
yet, however, see any method by which
he can gratify those who are besieging
him to use troops, even if he were dis
posed to do so. But it is not to be ex
pected that the efforts iu this direction
will cease until election day.

LIVERPOOL COTTON CIRCULAR.
Liverpool, November 1.—This week’s
circular of the Liverpool Cotton Broker’s
Association says: “Cotton was dull and
irregular. A moderate business generally
was done at a considerable decline. For
American the demand was moderate there
being a considerable pressure to sell and,
especially of recent imports, prices declined
daily, and quotations were reduced from
1-16 to %d. In sea island, the business was
of a retail character at unchanged prices.
“Futures opened weak, with a depressed
tone, and gradually declined to Wednesday
noon, when the lowest rates showed a re
duction from last Thursday of ll-32d. in
October, 5-ldd. in October and November,
and 3-16d. to a farthing in the latter month’s
deliveries. On Wednesday afternoon and
to-day (Thursday) there were considerable
fluctuations, the market closing feverish at
an eighth above the lowest. •<

AFrENDisu Murderer.—At Hamlet,
the junction of the Raleigh and Augusta
Air-Line Railroad with the Carolina Cen
tral, a serious tragedy was enacted Mon
day night. A party of colored railroad
employes, being in liquor, were engaged
in gambling at cards. There was a mis
understanding about the game, when a
genera! fight ensued. During the melee
James Green, a negro desperado, plunged
a knife into the neck of Douglas Baskers-
ville, a colored employe of the Air-
Line Road, and then with another
knife terribly gashed and lacerated the
wounded and dying man about the head
and face. Buskers ville, being stabbed in
the neck, and his face being cut and dis
figured almost beyond recognition, died
in a few minutes. Green then, with de
moniac yells, nourished his weapon over
his head, aud threatened to kill any one
who should attempt to effect his arrest.
After kicking and spitting upon the dead
body of his victim, the murderer fled to
the woods and has not been arrested. At

Tiie Newest New York Swindle.—
Samuel Benson, twenty-two year3 of age,
was arrested yesterday by Detective Ma
loney, of the seventh precinct, just as he
had swindled Simon Morris, of No. 127
East Broadway, of nve dollars, lien-
son's practice for some time has been to
follow a coal cart to the house of custom
ers, and, as the driver stopped, to ap
proach him and demand the bill for tbe
coal. The driver, supposing him to be
the puichascr, generally gave him* the
bill, and Benson entered the house, col
lected it and departed, telling the driver
“that his brother, who had ordered tho
coal, was not in just then, but that he
would bring the money around to the
office." The complaints of fifty people
who 1 have thus been swindled are on
record in various station houses.—AT. Y.

A Murderer’s Suicide.—At Yin
cennes, Ind., last Wednesday, a French
family Darned Vacelot, consisting of four
persons, was found murdered. A Coro
ner’s jury fixed the crime on Pierre Pro
vost, a hired man, who was accordingly
arrested and lodged in jail. This, coupled
with apprehension of lynching, seeming
ly proved too much for’Provost, for upon
opening the jail Sunday morning he was
found dead, having hanged himself dur
ing the night. This act seemed the more
remarkable as he has remained stolid and
immovable in his claim of innocence,
and the overwhelming circumstantial
evidence produced no visible change in
his demeanor.
A Woman Crushed to Death en an
Elevator.—Mrs. Annie Young, wife of
Thomas Young, janitor at store No. 117
Nassau street, New York, undertook to
operate the hydraulic elevator by herself,
Saturday, and went to the top of the
building. She reversed it in order to
descend to the fourth floor, on reaching
which she tried to jump out, but was
caught by the still descending elevator,
and her head was fearfully crushed,
causing her death in about an hour after
the accident.
A special to the Omaha Herald from
Columbus, Nebraska, says that the mail
carrier between Madison and Scotia, just
arrived there, found two men dead in
North Loup, between Dublin and Scotia,
with a paper pinned to their clothes stat
ing that they were shot for setting fire to
the prairie. A dead team of mules and
a wagon were near them. They were
strangers in the section.

Louisville, Ky., October 26.—The long-
besought and welcome frost that came as it
were by special and pressing invitation, has
bronzed and well nigh laid bare the trees
and shrubs, and touched up the fluttering,
summery ribbons of the human butterflies,
deepening their pale, cold colors into some
thing warm and gayly bright.
Louisville appears to its best advantage in
the bright month of October. Tbe last of
the holiday-makers have come home, and
Fourth avenue, the fashionable promenade,
is alive and astir from one end to the other,
from the suburban terminus, where
the handsomest brown-stone fronts
begin to line the beautiful thorough
fare, down into the heart of the city,
where one looks down a long vista of tall,
elegant stores whose plate-glass windows
are gorgeous with attractions to ensnare the
feminine passer-by.
How particularly delightful it is at this
season to be a woman, and, above all, a
young one, for what feminine heart does
not bound with rapturous joy at the bare
mention of going shopping? Wbo but a
woman can stand by the hour before shop-
windows and indulge in long ecstacies over
the bewildering display ? Imagine the lords
of creation extracting the same amount of
enjoyment from gazing at a window full of
trousers aud the “sweetest thiDg” in Prince
Alberts ! Pity tbe wretched creature, for
his life in that respect i6 a joyless waste, a
dreary desolation. And again there
are those whose lot is perhaps drear
ier still, who can partake only of a
sort of Barmecide fea6t, who take
comfort after the manner of Mr. and Mrs.
Tom Traddler when they lived in chambers,
and the impecunious Traddles enumerated
to his spouse the royal presents he would
give her “if he could.”
Saturday afternoon is always full dre?6
parade, aud the avenue swarms in endless
procession. The matinees are in full blast,
aud by way of variety one can dive for a half
hour into a picture gallery or invade the
quiet libraries and museums, or if one is so
fortunate as to possess a phaeton, join the
mad cavalcade that goes tearing away and
away down the Chestnut street drive until
it calls a halt at tbe brim of the calm, broad
Ohio.
And here 1 must reiterate what has been
said time aud time again of tbe beauty
of our girls. Each city, of course,
has a weakness for tbe beauty of its
own, but it is no idle boast to say the love
liness of LouisviLe girls is really surprising.
Study them where you will, at the churches
and theatres, on tnc drive or promenade,
they will bear cool, 'critical inspection, ap
pearing even better by daylight than gas
light. It is the absence of really ugly faces
that strikes one in scanning them en masse.
Many of them seem plainer contrasted with
more showy beauties, while the same faces
seen alone grow winsome and charming.
Strangers from abroad, and by that term 1
mean especially those who come in panta
loons, one and all give over their caviling
upon beholding, and incontinently laydown
their arms. Confirmed bachelors have been
known to propose to several fair ones at
one fell swoop; delightful widowers lose
their charming insouciance and grow mel
ancholy-mad, while that happy medium,
the married man, freed from the tyranny of
his lawful regulator, looks, warms up to
enthusiasm, and compliments.
Amongst us just now fern picnics are
the fashion. Since we must depend upon
our parlor and window-gardening for flowers
during the loDg winter months, it behooves
us to collect as much material as possible to
adorn the sitting-room and make up for the
lack of summer greenery. Every year we
develop more skill and cunning in the pre-
paratiou and preservation of autumn leaves
aud ferps, and consequently every winter
adds to the beauty of individual collections.
During the “brief bright days of the ripe
October” parties are formed who arm
themselves with lunch baskets in pleas
ant profusion and go out several
miles in the country, sometimes in
a morning railroad * train, frequently
in Jersey wagons, and after spending a
busy, happy day amongst tbe dried grass and
leaves, tnc expedition, often dissolving into
a nutting party, return to town laden with
the spoils as the autumn dusk is closing in
aud tbe city li hts are beginning to twinkle
through the darkness. Kentucky abounds
in rare and beautiful specimens of ferns.
So conspicuous is she in this respect that
Mr. John Williamson, of this State, a dis
tinguished and enthusiastic botanist, has
lately produced a volume devoted to this
subject, called “The Ferns of Kentucky,”
that is attracting considerable attention iu
regions other than this. It is verv hand
somely illustrated, giving some of the rarest
specimens of that order of plants. The
autumn leaves gathered in these woodland
tramps are arranged in festoons around the
walls of the sitting room, trailed
around picture frames and looped
oyer the chandeliers. The mantel vases
are filled with the grasses after being
dried, and tbe ferns, after the drying aud
pressing process, are arranged in the fern
baskets until they are overrunning. With
the addition of a rustic stand of flowers aud
several pots with growing vines to trail
about the windows, the room i« n "~ ,
Eveu such a tmn B as a swee7$toto
may be made “a thing of beauty,” for if
placed in a shallow vessel on the mantel in
a warm room it will sprout and send otit long
green tendrils, which can be trained thickly
over the wall so as to form a perfect bower
of green. A few grains of wheat imbedded
in a sponge which is placed in a saucer and
kept constantly moist, will sporut. If the
saucer, in turn, is placed in a pretty
crocheted cover, with long crocheted cord
and tassels, a spray or two of some
easily-growing ivy added, it makes a
simple aud beautiful hanging basket,
that will keep, with a little attention, all
winter. It is said that autumn leaves may
be preserved in their pristine brightness by
dipping several times in a weak solution of
sulphuric acid. I have never tried it, but I
have seen maple leaves taken as the frost
had touched them, pressed for a day or two
until the moisture was out. then framed in
their natural state, that kept their splendid
colors from year to year. Such a glowing
patch of color on a wall brightens a room
as much as tbe fire in the open grate.
The Exposition is at its last gasp. In a
few days the witching music will be hushed,
tho grand fountain will cease to roar and
scatter its spray, and the work of dis
mantling will begin. Too many pleasant
hours are spent there not to produce a
general feeling of regret when the great
doors close for a long year. Whether
or not it has been a financial
success is an open question. The
expense to exhibitors, especially me
chanics, in arranging their wares, is so great
that they most frequently find themselves
out of pocket by the operation and disap
pointed in tbe expected profit to themselves.
As a public we constantly demand novelty.
Last year we had the National Government
on exhibition, and the Exposition paid.
This year we were promised a visit from
President Diaz and a display of Mexican
wares, but that gentleman finds constant
employment at home, it seems, and has no
spare time to visit, while the Mexicans
doubtless looked around and discovered
they didn’t have anything to show. To sup
ply the deficiency the management got up a
baby show, comprising the baby solus, in
pairs and trios. The specimens, with
fetf exceptions, are from the German
and Irish population, and one does
not realize the exceeding ugliness of the
little animal until it is seen in groups,
nor can one have even a feeble conception
of the power of infant lungs until they are
tried in chorus. The premiums run up to
the enormous figure of ten dollars for the
first, which, in the writer’s humble opinion,
is decidedly more than any baby in the lot
is worth.
In pleasant contrast there is a poultry ex
hibition, a handsome a#d varied collection.
I am quite sure I recognized in it the veri
table Shanghai that figured at the last
Presidential election. From a certain fussy,
disreputable manner about him, I imagine
he is a disguised Republican who has joined
the National party.
The turkeys, as a rule, wear an anxious
countenance, and are quite shaky in the
knees—Thanksgiving looms up in the imme
diate future and “uneasy 6its the head that
wears a—topknot.” High above all, cool,
impassive, is a pelican wbo, we are assured,
is one hundred years old, and who looks as
though fully determined to score two hun
dred. His intellect is clear and vigorous,
and he remembers George Washington and
the episode of the little hatchet with per
fect distinctness, as he was in the cherry
tree at the interesting time. Very modem
in comparison is the carriage of Hemy Clay,
presented to him by the citizens of Newark,
and in which he traveled from New York to
his home in Lexington, Ky. Among the
pictures, principally from the studios of the
first American artists, is one that arrests
the attention ot every Southerner from it j <
truthfulness to nature. It is Mrs. Stowe’s
“Uncle Tom.’* The bleared eves, the over
worked frame, even the sweat of toil shining
on the black face, all admirably brought
out, combine in a perfect representation of
the old plantation hand, now hardly more
than a tradition of the past.
The yellow fever hospital has at last been
closed for lack of patients. It has seemed
so hard that Louisville should have suffered
slander for her well doing. Even Southern
towns from which it was not expected, have
turned against her and refused her credit
for her good works. Cincinnati’s infamy
was of a piece with her ordinary course. As
to our having indigenous yellow fever in
our city, we deny it truthfully and advisedly.
In a small area, intersected with crowded
and unclean alleys, there have been a num
ber of deaths from a very malignant fever,
but a cause for the disease has been discov
ered in the fact that during the intense
weather of the summer a hew alley was
opened and the soil, composed of
strata of filth and garbage, turned up to the
sun, thus producing in a short time the ma
larial infection. The dark shadow of the
pestilence in the South is seen in the
crowds of figures clad in fresh mourn
ing garments that fill the accustomed church
pews. There are few families in this city
who do not claim a newly-made grave some
where in the track ot the plague, for there
are few homes amongst us tnat have not at
some time sent away from beneath the roof-
tree a loved one to another Lome in the
dear Southern land.
“The air is full of farewells to the dying.
And mourning for the dead. "
A large number of our merchants are
sorely straitened, as the wonted buyers,
frightened by reports of an epidemic here,
or unable to leave their homes, content
them selves with sending small orders. These,
principally to the dry goods men for “black
goods,” tell the tale of mourning. A sad
incident of the plague, only one among so
many, was that of a young girl of this city
wbo went to Memphis last winter as a bride.
At the beginning of the summer the husband,
who traveled for a Memphis firm, placed his
wife at a country boarding house a short
distance from the city, and departed on his
travels. During his absence tbe fever broke
out in the neighborhood, and the alarmed
wife with several friends started out
to find board elsewhere. But the people
fled from their approach and barred their
doors, refusing them even a morsel of food.
One of the party was taken with the fever
on the way, and*thus in a country wagon,
over rougb roads, they jolted on, sleeping
in a church one night aud a barn the next,
until they reached a hamlet where a wo
man, at the risk of infuriating the citizens,
gave them shelter in a hut. In the mean
time the husband had sought his wife at the
old place, and not being able to find her
whereabouts, traveled all night, tracing her
in the moonlight by the wagon tracks until
he came up with the party, one of which
was dead aud another frying with delirium.
He took his wife aud started for the next
town, where, being refused admittance at
hotel and dwelling, they were forced to
go into a deserted out-house, where, on a
bed of straw, a babe was prematurely born.
Friends were telegraphed and came'to the
relief, and the young wife was brought to
this city to her father’s house, for the
blessed privilege of djing under the roof of
home.
Dr. Luke Blackburn Is the lion of the
hour. He returned a few days ago from
Hickman, w hither he had gone as a heroic
Kentuckian to the succor of his brethren.
Grand old man 1 We hold him in our inmost
hearts, a hero of heroes. Believing firmly
in the theory of contagion, and never hav
ing bad the disease, he bravely, grandly
goes where the scourge revels wildest, to
Kentuckians first, after that to all the world
if need be. No question now as to m ho our
next Governor shall be. This self-sacrifice
is no new thing, practised for effect. He
has worked through sixteen great epi
demics. It had been arranged to give him
an ovation at the Exposition to-night,
when he was to be introduced by Dr. Bell,
the physician who is Blackburn’s diametric
opponent in theory, aud who received an
ovation and a medal some time since for
his wise prevention of a panic. But Dr. B.
objected to the fuss and the speech-making,
and would not be publicly testimonialized.
Dr. Beli is Blackburn’s senior by several
years, and is entirely a self-made man.
While he stitched away on the tailcr’s bench
in Lexington years ago, Blackburn was re
ceiving bis education as a farorite of for
tune and a representative of Kentucky’s
proudest aristocracy. They meet to-day
upon common ground—Bell, with his
massive intellect, an integrity of purpose
pure as truth itself, and the fruit of long
years of patient, earnest study; Blackburn,
with his record of professional success and
practical liumauitarianism, the tender love
of his kind that led him through the
swampy bottom lands around Hickman to
bathe the feet and give help to the poorest
negro whose claim to it v.as that he suf
fered. This has been his life-long practice,
for which he has received no more sub
stantial reward than the thanks and blessings
of his fellow men. The medical profession
has certainly a right to a proud pre-emi
nence, aud a time like this is the true test
ot the material, of which it is made. Of
those weighed in the balance none have
beeu found wanting, but have given freely
the last and greatest of gifts—fheir lives.
The reports telegraphed over the country
during the past few days concerning the ap
proaching marriage of Hon. Samuel J. Til-
den to a young lady of St. Louis have beeu
rather conflicting, to say the least. If the
Hon. Samuel declares it false and the St.
Louis belle says she has never met him, it is
barely possible the marriage will not take
place. Miss Haseltine, the lady in
question, is well known in Louis
ville circles, having visited here fre
quently. Those who know her express little
astonishment at her cool darino' •- •-
ing the hoax and altro'“' ^ publish
ment. S**-' ' — “‘Ug seusational com-
—~ uas certainly succeeded ad
mirably. She is quite pretty, with rich
auburn hair and dark eyes, but nothing at
all of a raging beauty. She confesses to
being twenty-one and declares she would
never marry a man so old as Tilden, but
there are those who believe that it would be
dangerous for Samuel to offer himself at
the shrine of the St. Louis belle, if he
cherished any hope of being rejected.

TnE Attorney General’s Decision
as to the Bank Tax.—Treasurer Gilfil
lan received a letter from the Merchants’
National Bank of Baltimore, saying.
“We see it stated that under the recent
decision of the Attorney General, banks,
when making up their capital stock sub
ject to taxation, are permitted to deduct
the actual market value of their bonds,
instead of their face value, and you will
please inform us if this is so, and, if so,
if we are entitled to a credit for statements
heretofore made based upon the face
value of the bonds ”
The Treasurer replied as follows: “I
am in receipt of your letter of the 2oth
instant, in reference to the recent opinion
of the Attorney General as to the method
of computing the taxable capital of
national banks under section 5,214, Re
vised Statutes, fn deference to that
opinion, national banks will hereafter be
required, in making up their capital
stock subject to taxation, to deduct not
the face value nor its market value, but
the price paid for the United States
bonds owned by them, less the interest
accrued to date of purchase, and for the
purpose of verification will be required
to specify said bonds by loans and dates
of purchase in making return thereof to
this office. No application made in con
sequence of the opinion in question for
refund of any tax upon bank capital
heretofore assessed and collected will be
entertained by this office.”

A Wild Man of the Woods.—Louis
ville, Ky., is excited over a wonderful
prodigy in the shape of a man from
Sparta, Tenn., whose body is covered
with scales like those of a fish. He has
a heavy growth of hair on his head and
a dark, reddish beard about six inches
long. His eyes present a frightful ap
pearance, being at least twice the size of
the average sized eye. Some of his toes
are formed together, which give his feet
a strange appearance, and his height,
when standing perfectly erect, is about
six feet five inches.
A nervous twitching of his muscles
shows a desire to escape, and he is con
stantly looking in the direction of the
door through which he entered. His
entire body must be wet at intervals,
and should this be neglected, he begins
immediately to manifest great uneasi
ness, his flesh becomes feverish, and his
sufferings cannot be alleviated until the
water is applied. At times he is danger
ous. A prominent physician, who has
examined him carefully, states that the
scales are not the result of any skin
disease, but that he was undoubtedly
born in that condition. He was cap
tured running wild in the mountains of
Tennessee, after a desperate resistance,
and is now on exhibition in Louisville.
Mr. Arshowe is a Chinese tea dealer in
Boston, who in the past thirty years has
made a fortune and educated two daugh
ters.
