NO. 3 WHITAKER STREET, (MORNING NEWS BUILDING). J. H. ESTILL, Proprietor. W. T. THOMPSON, Editor. THURSDAY, JANUARY 1G, 1879. Democratic Executive Committee First Congressional District. The members of the Democratic Ex ecutive Committee of the First Congres sional District are requested to meet at the Pulaski House, in Savannah, at twelve o'clock on Tuesday, 21st instant. A full attendance is necessary. Rufus E. Lester, Chairman. J. M. G. Medlock, Secretary. TAPPING T11IS WIRES. Mr. Jolm Back, Postmaster at French- burg, Ky., has been arrested for robbing valuable letters. Representatives of Northern settlers in live States of the South have held a meeting at Charlotte, North Carolina, and resolved that they are perfectly satisfied with their treatment iu the South, and that in no sec‘ tion of the country are the rights of citizens more thoroughly protected. Clement L. Walker, United States District Attorney for New Orleans, testified before the Blaine-Teller Committee yesterday that he believed the Democrats used fraud in the recent elections in that city. The board of experts who visited Mem phis and New Orleans, to inquire into the causes of yellow fever, and what measures should be taken to prevent a recurrence of the disease, have returned to Washingtor, and will in a few days make their report. The Democratic Senators yesterday held a caucus to determine what action to take iu regard t# the resolution lately offered by Edmunds. The matter was finally sub mitted to a committee of seven headed by Senator Thurman. The caucus also ap pointed a committee of three to determine what action should be tsken to secure a re peal of the section of the United States Revised Statutes prescribing test oaths for jurors in United States courts. Sunday uight the escaped Cheyenne Jnuiaus strengthened their position in the bed of Indian creek, and on noon Monday the twelve pound Napoleon gun was brought up, but could not be brought to bear ou them. On Tuesday morning it was ascertained that the Indians had left during the previous night. The troops will go on an extended scout in pursuit of them. It is not believed possible that a single one of the sixty victims of the Dinas mine explosion can be alive, or, if so, can br rescued. Eighty yards of the roof at the bottom of the shaft have fallen in, render ing exploratioa impossible. The Aargan Spinning and Weaving Com pany, one of the most important cotton concerns iu Switzerland, has been forced to dissolve because of bad business. Russia, it is understood, accepts a reduc tion of the Turkish war indemnity by one hundred million roubles, and also in pay ment of paper roubles. In the United States Senate yesterday, Mr. Voorhees, of iudiana, submitted a re solution to instruct the Committee on In dian Affairs to inquire iuto the circum stances which led to the recent escape of Cheyenne Indians from Fort Sill, Texas, and their subsequent slaughter by United States soldiers. In the House a bill re ported from the Ways and Means Com mittee for the issue of certificates of deposit of denominations of ten dollars bearing in terest of three per cent., and convertible into four per cent, bonds, was considered, and after considerable discussion passed. The House Committee on Banking and Currency have authorized Representative Ewing to offer an amendment to the bill now pending for a repeal of the resumption act, to the effect that moncy£received from the sale of United States bonds shall be ap plied only to the redemption of other bonds bearing a higher rate of interest, and that whenever the sale of the four cents, amount to $3,000,000 the same shall be applied to the redemption of that amount of bonds called in for redemption, the interest on these latter bonds to cease In thirty days. Also, providing that all United States notes received in the Treasury iu exchange for coin shall be reissued and kept in circula tion without change in the aggregate amount of the several denominations exist ing on the 31st day of May last, and pro hibiting the issue of legal tender notes of a larger amount than $1,000. In the Sayre murder case at Pottsviile, Governor Ilartrauft having refused to con sider the application of a further respite, the execution of Martin Bergens is certain. In the case of Blasus Pistonus, the Eoman Catholic priest, the Board of Pardons have unanimously recommended a commutation of the death sentence to life imprisonment. Considerable opposition is expressed to an interference with the execution of the law, however. The Pope has been recommended to ac cept the resignation of Archbishop Purcell, of Cincinnati. The question of his suc cessor is already being discussed. N. P. llill, Republican, was yesterday elected United States Senator from Colora do. Ex-Governor Vance was unanimously nominated for Senator from. North Carolina by a caucus of Democratic members of the Legislature of that State. Election Ari ses in the North.— Tie committee of the two houses to accompany the remains of Representa tive Schleicher to Texas will be absent about ten days. As Senator Bayard is a member of this committee, his absence will prevent for the present any iuvesti gation by the Blaine outrage committee of the alleged wrongs in the elections North. Mr. Bayard has really no de sire to go into such an investigation as he thinks no good can be subserved by it. The Color a ik) Senator.—William Hill, the Republican caucus nominee for Senator from Colorado, will be probably elected by the Legislature of that State this week. lie is the gentleman who, according to the public declaration of Representative Patterson, of Colorado, contributed large sums of money to aid in the election of Republican candidates for the Legislature with the distinct un derstanding that he should be elected United States Senator. Liff.-Saving Stations.—Already over one thousand dollars have been sub scribed for the establishment of life saving stations along the river front of New' Y'ork city, and the Erpret* says it is believed that before long enough will have been raised to make the pro posed stations established facts. Captain Boyton says over two hundred men are lost off the docks of New York every year. Here is a case in which “the logic of facts' did unquestionably “govern the function of proceedings.” We find it stated without comment in the Nashville American: “What? Twenty-five CeP* 5 a pound for sausages? Why, I can get down at Schmidt’s for twenty cents.” “Veil, den, vy didn’t j’er?” “ ’Cause Schmidt was out of ’em.” “Veil, uf I was owt of ’em I sell ’em for twendy cents, too. ” The Geological Survey—What has been Accomplished—The Present Status of the Department. Much surprise has been expressed that the Legislature, at its late session, failed to make an appropriation to continue the geological survey of the State, a work of vast importance to our material progress, and thus far conducted, ap parently, with commendable skill and energ \ The matter was laid over for consideration at the adjourned session in July, and, as a necessary consequence, the operations of the department will be suspended during the interval, a result much to be deplored. As opportune, and a matter of interest Uk at least every intelligent reader, we propose to give a brief history of this survey as contained in such official data as we have at our command, in order that all may understand the exact status of its affairs. In the month of February, 1874, at the suggestion of Professor Wm. Leroy Broun, at that time President of the Agricultural and Mechanical College connected with the State University at Athens, I)r. H. II. Carlton, then a Re presentative from Clarke county, intro duced in the House “A bill to establish the office of State Geologist, and to pro vide for a mineralogical, geological and physical survey of the Sta’e.” This bill was passed into a law, and Governor James M. Smith, by the authority vested in the Executive, appointed Dr. George Little, then holding the Professorship of Mineralogy and Geology in the Univer sity of Mississippi, and formerly State Geologist of that State, as head of the new department. The law required the survey to be carried on in the three sec tions know r n as North, Middle and South Georgia, simultaneous^’ beginning at the eastern or western border of the State, and taking each tier of counties in suc cession. Iu bis first report to the Legis lature. January, 1875, Dr. Little stated that it would require ten years to finish the w T ork. Dr. Little entered upon his duties soon after his appointment, having selected the following corps of assistants: Mr. A. R. McCutchcn, for the Northern di vision; Mr. D. C. Barrow, for the Mid dle division; Mr. W. S. Schley, for the Southern division; Mr. C. A. Locke, Engineer; Mr. W. J. Land, Chemist. Mr. Barrow', on account of a death in his family, and his private affairs demand ing his persoual attention, after a brief service resigned, and was succeeded by Mr. R. II. Loughridge. Special work was done in the gold region during one season by Professor F. II. Bradley, now successfully operating one of the largest and best gold mills in the State, on the properly of the Nacoochee Gold Mining Company. The last report of the Geologist to the Governor, aud submitted by the latter to the Legislature at its late session, showed that ten counties in Northwest Georgia, to wit: Dade, Wal ker, Chattooga, Catoosa, Whitfield, Murray, Gordon, Bartow, Polk, and Floyds had been surveyed and complete and accurate maps of these counties had been made, with a complete cross section from the Alabama line to the Coliutta mountains, on the western line of Pickens county. In Middle Georgia eighteen counties, to wit: Cherokee, Cobb, Fulton, Doug las, Paulding, Haralson, Carroll, Camp bell, Ileard, Clayton, Coweta, Fayette, Troup, Meriwether, Harris, Muscogee, Talbot and Taylor, had been surveyed. Iu Southwest Georgia twenty tiro coun ties, to wit: Muscogee, Crawford, Hous ton, Macon, Marion, Schley, Chattahoo chee. Clay, Stewart, Webster, Sumter, Lee, Terrell, Quitman, Randolph,Dough erty, Culhoun, Early, 31iiler, Baker, Mitchell. Thomas and Decatur, have also been surveyed. Besides this regularly progressing work, a special examination was made of the Blue Ridge counties, with refer ence to locating the gold territory, by Professor Bradley, and of the counties of Twiggs, Wilkinson, Laurens, John son, Washington, Jefferson, Burke and Richmond,for the purpose of tracing out the marl beds which had been found in Houston, Clay, Chattahoochee and other counties in the southwest by Mr. M. T- Singleton. Still another special work was a thorough survey of the Okefino- kee Swamp in Charlton, Ware and Clinch counties. About seventy-five marls have been analyzed in the laboratory of the State University by Professor II. C. White, as sisted by Dr. James Little. Many of these are very rich in lime, and some contain th r ee per cent, of potash, while the beds vary iu ih'ckness from one foot to twenty feet. About 000 streams have been carefully measured, and the water powers, ranging from 1 horse power to 35,000 horse power, determined by Mr. Locke, engineer of the department. A collection of 10,000 specimens of ores, minerals and building stones has been made; and about 75 specimens of woods, out of 225 known in the State, have been arranged in the capitol build ing, showing our iudepeudence* of the rest of the country for materials for furniture, w’agons, and all other neces sary wood work. The list of minerals embraces gold, silver, copper, lead, iron, manganese, barite; that of rocks in cludes soapstone, limestone, sandstone, granite. The precious stones include amethyst, opal, garnet, beryle, ruby, sapphire and diamond. All these are so arranged by counties, and labeled with the name of the owner, number of the lot of land, section and township, that persons from the North Jute Culture in South Carolina. Experiments have been made for some time past in South Carolina, at the in stance of the Agricultural Society, in the cultivation of jute. The idea was to turther utilize the low lands of the State: but the instructions given were incom plete, and the results obtained are scarce ly what was anticipated. Nevertheless, the experiments made conclusively demonstrated that the soil and climate of those portions of the State are well adapted to the growth of jute, and the Agricultural Society have ordered from India a quantity of seed, expected to ar rive by April. The coast lands are the portions intended for the experiment, and, remarks the New York Commercial Bulletin, since no less than one hundred and ten million pounds of jute were con sumed in the United States in 1877, the experiment, if successful, must be the opening of a profitable business. The Charleston News and Courier says: ‘ This productive power of South Caro lina will soon become enormous, and we have here in Charleston a factory that is profitably making bagging from im ported fibre. When South Carolina shall both grow’ the jute and manufacture the fibre, a long stride will have been made towards securing for lower South Carolina a prosperity as great as that which followed the change from grow ing tobacco and indigo to planting cot ton. Jute, with small grain aud hay, and with tea added, will solve the low- country problem.” Any expedient for diversifying the fit Id productions of the South must be beneficial to our agricultural interests, and should the experiment of growing jute on the Carolina coast lands prove successful, it will not be long before similar lands ou the Georgia coast will be devoted to the culture of that plant. The Two Electoral Dills. The Southard electoral bill which the House committee is expected to present to the House with a favorable report as a substitute for the Edmunds bill, re cently passed by the Senate, differs from it especially in omitting to increase the time intervening between the meet ing of the electors and the counting of the vote in Congress and iu the treat ment of the electoral returns by Con gress. Senator Edmunds proposes that tribunals provided by the respective States shall decide as to the true re- turnsjof a State, and that where such decision is made it shall require the vole of both Houses to overthrow it; where such decision is not made and the con flicting returns are sent in it shall re quire the consent of both houses to count the vote of the State. Mr. South ard’s bill, after providing that iu case of controversy as to the appoint ment or eligibility of electors the highest judicial tribunal of a State shall make decision, and it shall require the vote of both houses to reverse such decision. If there are two judicial decisions, both purporting to be by the highest court of the same State, the one which is accepted by both houses shall be deemed conclu sive. If from a State where there is a controversy no judicial decision is re ceived the contested votes of that State shall not be counted unless by the con sent of both houses, and the certificate accepted by both houses shall be conclu sive. It is thought that the Southard bill will not pass the Senate even if approved by the House. Mr. Buell, tLe talented Washington writer, credits Senator Eaton with some sensible remarks anent the Burnside army bill. BeiDg asked his opinion of the new army bill, this defender of the Constitution replied that “it appeared to give Bill Sherman about the same auto cratic control of the army that John Sliermau already held over the finances of the country through the Treasury,” adding that “with the nation^ power of the Purse and the Sword securely lodged in the hands of the Sherman family he couldn’t see any further use for parlia mentary institutions in the country!” The Beefsteak Club, of New Y'ork, gave its second annual dinner Saturday evening, and among the members present were Martin Van Buren, W. W. Astor and Campbell Stuart. After the dinner a large silver cup, filled with Burgundy wine, was passed around the table, each jnember toasting the club before drink- PS- — and West and from Europe can readily find any material in which they may wish to invest their capital. Daily there are such visitors to the rooms of the survey, aud hundreds of letters have been received from others, to whom these visitors have spoken of our goodly land, asking for further information aud for printed reports. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have already been invested in the State by residents of distant States, induced chiefly by the information of our resources disseminated through the agency of the Geological Survey. The gold yield, alone, estimated in 1874 at $40,000 yearly, now reaches near a half millicfh annually. Without entering into further details, we submit this brief view of the opera tions of the Geological Survey, with the hope of inspiring some just degree of interest in an institution that must, if properly fostered, contribute large.y not only to the reputation, but to the mate rial wealth of the State. We regard Its teiRDOrary suspension as most unwise. True economy dictates that it should be continued, and that such facilities should be afforded it as will enable it to achieve the greatest possible amount oi good Counting the Electoral Vote.— Although, says the Washington corres.- pondent of the Baltimore Sun, the House committee ou the subject of counting the electoral vote has agreed to report and urge the passage of what is known as the Southard hill, its rejection of the Edmunds bill, which has passed the Senate, makes the failure of auy legisla tion on the subject at this session a foregone conclusion. The Rouse Demo crats do not rise above partisan consid erations any more than the Senate Re publicans, and they are therefore perfectly satisfied to let things hike there course. A suggestion has been made tb«t, in the absence of legislation, the Democrats, although they will control both branches of the next Congress, may not find it plain sail ing in case of a close Presidential con test, as. Vice President Wheeler may ,X^ume that he has the power, as Presi dent of ike Senate, to open and count the votes. There i? nothing in this sug gestion, as in case of political necessity the two Democratic houses of Congress can follow the precedent set by their Republican predecessors, and adopt a joint rule by concurrent resolution de claring the method of counting the elec toral vote. Breath Gymnastics. Chambers' Journal. The importance of breathing plenti fully of fresh air as an essential of health is generally admitted. Well ven tilated rooms, open air exercises and ex cursions into the country are appre ciated to some extent by all classes. But the art of breathing is very much over looked. Being a process not depend ing on the will for its exercise, it is too much left to the mere call of nature. It is, however, au act which can be in fluenced very materially by the will. Properly trained singers are taught to attend very carefully to their breathing. When brisk muscular exercise is taken breathing is naturally active with out any special effort. But when the body is at rest or engaged in occupation requiring a confined posture, and espe cially when the mind is absorbed in thought, the breathing naturally be comes diminished and the action of the lungs slow 7 and feeble. The conse quence is that the oxygenation of the blood is imperfectly carried on. Even In taking a constitutional W’alk the full benefit is not attained for want of thor ough breathing. As a remedy for this it has been sug gested that there is room for what might might be fitly termed breath gj-rauastics —to draw in long and full breaths, filling the lungs full at every inspiration and to acquire the habit of full breathing at all times. This habit of full breathing has a direct effect in supplying the largest possible amount of oxygen to the blood and more thoroughly consuming the carbon and so producing animal heat. It has also the very important effect of expanding the chest and so contributing to the vigor of the system. The breath should be inhaled by the nostrils as well as by the mouth, more especially while out of doors and in cold weather. This has partly the effect of a respirator in so far as warming the air iu its passage to the delieate air cells and in al>o rendering one less liable to catch cold. This full respiration is of so much im portance that no proper substitute is to be found for it in shorter though more rapid breathing. In short breathing a large portion of the air cells remains nearly stationary, the upper portion of the lungs only being engaged in receiv ing and discharging a small portion of air. Profound thought, intense grief and other similar mental manifestations have a depressing effect on respiration. "Hie blood unduly accumulates in the brain, and the circulation iu both heart and lungs becomes diminished, unless in deed there be feverishness present. An occasional long breath or deep-drawn sigh is the natural relief in such a case, nature making an effoit to provide a remedy. This hint should be acted on and followed up. Brisk muscular exer cise iu the open air even during incle ment weather is an excellent antidote of a physical kind fora “rooted sorrow.” And the earnest student, instead of tying himself to his desk, might imitate a friend of the writer of this, who wrote and studied while on his legs. Pacing his room, blad in hand with paper at tached, he stopped as occasion required to pen a sentence or a paragraph. Breathing is the first and last act of man and is of the most vital necessity all through life. Persons with full, broad, deep chests naturally breathe freely and slowly, and large nostrils generally ac company large chests. Such persons rarely take cold, and when they do they throw it off easily. The opposite build of chest is more predisposed to lung dis ease. The pallid complexion and conspi cuous blue veins show that oxygen is wanted, and that ever}’ means should be used to obtain it. Deep breathing also promotes perspiration, by increasing the circulation and the animal warmth. Waste is more rapidly repaired, and the skin is put in requsition to remove the used materials. .Many forms of disease may he thus prevented and more vigorous health enjoyed. BY TELEGRAPH. FROM WASHINGTON. Opinions of Northern and Southern Senators on Edmunds' Resolution. THE WHOLE SUBJECT REFERRED TO A SPECIAL COMMITTEE. Old Flglit Over the New York C us tom House Officials Renewed. Special Telegram to the Morning Sews. Washington, January 15.—The Demo cratic Senators in caucus to-day discussed at length the Southern enforcement propo sitions in Edmunds’ resolution. Southern Senators favored a non-aggressive policy on the subject, and said the Southern people could take care of their own affairs, and that to attempt to influence public sentiment in the North by compromising public senti ment in the South would not be satis factory to them nor the people of the South. Northern Senators said there was a popular feeling in the South in favor of the observance of all constitutional amendments, and any effort to render them ineffective, or even passive acquiescence in such a course would have a very injurious effect upon the prospects of their wing of the party. After considera ble discussion, it was linally decided to leave the whole matter to au advisory com mittee to take into consideration and report from time to time to the caucus what course should be pursued by the Democrats of the Senate-in dealing with all attempted politi cal legislation. The committee is as fol lows: Mr.^Thurman, Chairman; Messrs. Eaton, Morgan, McDonald, Saulsbury, Gor don aud Harris, two Eastern, two Western and three Southern Senators. In the Senate, in executive session this afternoon, the old fight of Gonkliug against the administration over the New York custom house appointments came up. A communication came from Mr. Hayes which wa£ read, giving his reasons for the removal of Collector Arthur aud Naval Oflicer Cor nell. It is said that political intrigue had crept into the ollice and made it an institu tion for the advancement of certain New York Republicans. There has also been committed there gross frauds on the reve nue. The communication lead to a lively de bate. Conkling, Edmunds, Howe and other Uepub’icans bitterly inveighed against Hayes, and said that personal feeling against certain Republicans alone lead to the change in the custom house officers. Thurman and one or two Democrats spoke in accord with Conkling, aud said there was no reason why Arthur and Cornell should have been re moved, as there was nothing to show they were not excellent officers. Hayes’ communication was referred to the Com mittee ou Commerce, of which Conkling is the Chairman, for a report whether the nominations should be rejected or con firmed. There is no doubt but they will be almost unanimously rejected. This will almost make imperative an extra session of the Senate, at least. GERMAN V AND THE VATICAN—ABCHBISHOI* prBcell’s successor. London, January 15.—A Reuter telegram from Rome contains the following: “There has been a fresh interchange of notes be tween the Vatican and Germany. “The Prefect of the congregation propa ganda Jidem reported in favor of accepting the resignation of Archbishop Purcell of Cincinnati. The Pope is expected to ap prove this conclusion. The question of a successor to Archbishop Purcell is already under consideration.’' PRIZE FIGHTERS ARRESTED. Philadelphia, January 15.—At the Cen tral Station Arthur Chambers, John King and John H. Clark were arraigned on the charge of conspiring to fight a prize fight. Several officers testified that King and Clark were introduced with Chambers to an audience at the Grand Central Theatre, Jan uary 7th, as participants in a prize fight. The defendants were held in $1,000 bail. A further hearing will be had on Wednesday next. THE GOVERNOR OF COLORADO INAUGURATED —UNITED STATES SENATOR ELECTED. Denver, Col., January 15.—Governor Pitkin was inaugurated yesterday. His message was devoted entirely to State affairs. N. P. Hill, Republican, was elected United States Senator yesterday, re ceiving more than a two-thirds vote. In both branches of the Legislature the Demo crats voted for W. A. II. Loveaud. Watrkes, feirflni, &t. SAMUEL P. HAMILTON, IMPORTER AND DEALER IN Scene in Haytl. Hartford Times. Dr. Erastus Wilson’s account of his trip to Bogota includes a touch or two of scene-painting on the way dow'n to the main land, through the island of the West Indies. On the way down, from the north, the steamer stopped a day or two at Port-au- Prince, in Hayti, the negro republic. There, where the negroes have full swing, he found the surface sewage (for the town has no sewers) had rendered foul and evil smelling the very water of the harbor—the sea-water—for quite a distance from shore. Under a hot sun, and quite shut out from the trade winds by high hills, such a state of things necessarily produces fevers. But by these and other things our traveler was convinced, in regard to Hayti, that “civilization in these regions must necessarily be of foreign growth and importation: a reflected light.” lie sees evidences of a higher civilization once existing there, but “it has ebbed away, and is still receding, perhaps never to return.” It is a natu rally rich and beautiful island, produc ing an abundance of coffee in its wild state, and all tropical fruits and crops, but tbe negro government of Hayti is a wretched affair, all progress is rendered impossible, and the west end of the island is far less inviting than Santo Domingo, the eastern part. While his steamer lay at the decaying town of Port-au-Prince (a hot, repulsive hole), the Doctor saw this sight: FROM FLORIDA. Death of Captain John Drysdalc. Political Arrest* in Jacksonville. Special Telegram to the Morning News. Tallahassee, Fla., January 15.—Both Houses adjourned early in consequence of the death of Captain Jno. Drysdale, Door keeper of the Assembly. Arrests for violation of the election laws continue at Jacksonville. MIDNIGHT TELEGRAMS ADDITIONAL CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS. The Colorado and North Carolina United States Senatorships. ARCHBISHOP PURCELL’S RESIGNA TION TO BE ACCEPTED. THE TELLER COMMITTEE. New Orleans, January 15.—Clement L. Walker, United States Attorney of New Or leans, testified before the Teller Committee concerning the election in this city. He did not think the returns indicated the true re sults. He asserted there were frauds on the part of Democrats in that election. GOV. VANCE NOMINATED UNITED STATES SENATOR. Raleigh, N. C., January 15.—The Demo cratic caucus of the Legislature to night nominated Governor Vance for United PllT’SCS States Senator by acclamation. He ad- 9 dressed the caucus, speaking in favor of party harmony aud organization. A TRirLE DEATH. Ailsa Craig, Ont., January 15.—Yester day morning Miss Walker, residing near Brecon Mills, suddenly dropped dead. Her betrothed, Edward Cousins, hearing of her death, cut his throat. Miss Walker’s mother, seeing her daughter’s corpse, also dropped dead. FORCED LOAN IN TURKEY.

URNETT’S COCOAINE. A Compound of Cocoanut Oil, For Promoting the Growth and Pre serving the Beauty of the Hair. It softens the hair when harsh and dry. It soothes the irritated scalp. It affords the richest lustre. It prevents tho hair from fall ing off. It promotes its healthy, vigorous growth. It is not greasy nor sticky. It leaves no disagrecablo odor. It kills dandruff. Baldness. Philadelphia, May 28, 1877. Gentlemen,—Having used your Cocoaine for the past ten or twelve years, 1 take pleasure in giving as my opinion that no preparation made in this country will keep tho hair so soft and glossy, and, at the same time, allay all irrita tion of the scalp. It will most effectually re move dandruff, and prevent the hair from falling out. THOMAS ROBERTS, Wholesale Grocer, 30 South Front Street. Scald Head. Ottawa, III., April s, 1S78. Messrs. Joseph Burnett & Co.: Gentlemen,—For over two years I liavo suf fered terribly with “ scald head ” in its worst form. A few weeks ago I tried a bottle of your Cocoaine. Tho first application gave me re lief, and now the disease is effectually cured. I cheerfully recommend Burnett’s Cocoaine to any one suffering with the above complaint. Yours respectfully, N. C. STEVENS, Deputy Sheriff. janl6-6m SCHREINER’S A SHARK S LEAP AFTER INDIGESTIBLE FOOD. German steamer lying The L.erman sieamer lying near us (Jrew up its anchor somewhat quickly with its steam winfllass, and when ii was about fifteen feet above the water, a monster shark that had no doubt dis covered from a distance the moving ob ject in the water and pursued it, leaped after it perpendicularly more than its full length, some twelve to fourteen feet, into the air. AFRIC AN MILITARY GRANDEUR. Boston culeha has brought about a novel tragedy. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson both entertained the belief that each was the intellectual superior of the other, and, as they could jnot agree upon th point themselves, they betook thcmselvts to a phrenologist and engaged his ser vice* to decide the question for them. The man of science accordingly examined the craniums of husband and wife, and as the result of his investigation proclaimed that Mrs. Wilson intellectually was the better man of the two. and was natu rally entitled to leadership in the family. Mr. Wilson’s refined Bostonian organiza tion was greitly shocked by this intelli gence, and “he weepingly declared that he had made the most serious blunder of bis life in mairying a woman who knew’ more than he did;” w’hereupon he pro ceeded to put an end to his own life and that of Mrs. Wilson. The phrenologist was evidently right. Dan Rice, the veteran showman, de clares that he regrets four things in his long and eventful life : “1. Learning Miss Adeline Patti to swear when she was a little girl in New Orleans and I was teaching her horseback riding. 2. That I did not, for my country’s good, bqy up the delegatee to the Na tional Convention that nominated Gov. Seymour for President, wfien my repre sentative telegraphed me I coqld get the nomination for about $80,000. 3. Encouraging little boys in early times to steal under my tent to see the circus. Experience has proved I w T as morally wiong, from the fact that when they grew’ up I had to instruct my men to keep a good lookout or they would steal the tent, 4. That I had not followed over forty vears ago the advice of John Newland Alaffit. a great revivalist, to become a minister of the Gospel instead of a minister of fun.” Commander D. C. Kells, United States Navy, is to be court m&rtialed in New Orleans for calling Senator Kellogg a liar and saying other ugly things about him. From which it is to be inferred that naval officers are not allowed to tell the truth in such cases. A Professor who had been trying for a half hour to explain a formula on the board, turns with bis finger on his nose, w’hich is a very prominent feature, and says severely: “Is this now apparent to you all?” (Freshmen grin.) “I am aware, gentlemen, that it is long.” (Frcol?men grin audibly.) “But I hope vou see the pCl?*-- (Flight pedal ap plause.; It is called ]>ons of which I hop© yon «ee the application." (Loud and continued appiiuse.) At Gonaives the arrival of the llaytien President made a stir and brought out a military parade—for the negroes are great lovers of military display. In fact, they are the very race to develop and perpetuate it. {t was a battalion of in tantry. The dress was of all sorts and sizes, and a little of everything in tne way of variety j and the marching was more varied and independent than the dress. “Indeed, the whold cffair seemed a laughable burlesque. Here are, surely, worn by the officers, military suits more ancient than the wearers, some of tiiem, no doubt, antedating Toussaint l’Over- ture, being vestiges of the French domi nation. It is a curious spectacle, to be long remembered. The ebony privates straggling along in the most unsoldierly indolence, in step as discordant as the notes of the nondescript musical instru ments which cannot be said to mark ihe time, the officers now and anon berating this w T ant of harmony, to be scoided in turn, in presence of his men, by a higher officer, for excess of zeal; both clearly actuated by personal vanity, seeking op portunity for exhibition of authority to admiring friends. To heighten the ludi. crous effect, we were told by a foreign resident that during the Franco German war an editorial article upon it iu the leading newspaper of the capital, closed with the followingapostrophe: ‘Courage, brave France, Hayti is looking on.’ ” That last touch was too good to lose; and we have quoted the whole paragraph chiefly for the sake of getting that. It would have finely rounded off one of the late Senator Sumner’s Hayti speeches. WASH I NGTON NEWS ITE7IS. General Notes, Foreign and Domestic Yermey, a famous French hunter and rival of Gerard, is dead. He was a soldier and passionately addicted to dueling. When made fencing-master to a regi ment of chasseurs at Perpignon nothing would do him but to challenge the other eighteen fencing-masters, and he had put two of them hors de con that and was about to tackle a third when the com mander of the garrison packed him off to the guard house.

Washington, January 15.—In the House yesterday, Mr. Garfield stated that he de sired to offer an amendment to the bill pro viding that United States notes shall be re ceived for imports, providing that such notes should be receivable only so long as they were equivalent to coin. [Cries of no, no.] He did not propose for one to shut off the supply of coin to meet the interest on the public debt in case a calamity should happen to the country. Wood, acting as the organ of the committee, yielded to the introduction of the amendment, and the previous question was ordered. Harrison to Garfield—Has the gentleman any doubt about the success of resumption ? Garfield—I have no doubt of the success of resumption unless by such a bill as this or some other hostile legislalion, resumption is destroyed. The amendment was then defeated. Yeas 73, nays 115. Mr. Garfield—Believing this bill to be a serious attack upon resumption, I move to lay it on the table. The House refused to lay the bill on the table by a vote of yeas 41, nays 155. Tbe bill was then passed—yeas 154, nays 43. It simply provides that after the passage of the act United States notes shall be receiv ed in payment of duties on imports. Mr. Wood also reported a bill to facilitate the refunding of the national debt. It au thorizes the Secretary of the Treasury, in the process of refunding the national debt, to exchange, directly at par, bonds bearing four per cent, interest for the 5.20’s outstand ing and uncalled for, and directs that when ever all such 5.20 bonds have been redeemed according to the provisions of this section, all existing provisions of the law authorizing the refunding of the national debt shall apply to any bonds of the United States bearing 5 per cent, or a higher interest, which will be redeemable, and that in any such exchange interest shall be allowed on bonds redeemable for a period of three months. The main question being ordered, the House adjourned at 10:50. TRB CASES OF TWO MORE PENNSYLVANIA MURDERERS. Harrisburg, Pa., January 15.—The ac tion of the Supreme Court in virtually offer ing the constitutionality of the law in rela tion to writs of error in the Sayre murder case, will make Martin Bergen’s execution at Pottsviile certain, Governor llartranft having refused to favorably consider an ap plication for further respite for that reason. As soon as he receives the necessary papers in the Sayre case he will issue another death warrant. The time of the execution will be put far enough ahead to enable the matter to be fully heard by the Board of Pardons. The plea will be made that he is not a tit subject for hanging on the alleged ground of insanity. As the Board of pardoBs are unanimous ly in favor of the commutation of the death sentence of Blasus Pistorious, the Catholic priest, to life imprisonment, the Governor will probably comply with its request, although there is considerable op position to an interference with the execu tion of the law. Tbe widow of the mur dered man Jaquette has written a letter to the Governor in which she eearnestly protests against a commutation. WASHINGTON NEWS ITEMS. Washington, January To.—A bill has been reported to the House from the Com mittee of Ways and Means, making United States notes receivable for duties on im ports.
