J. H. ESTILL, PROPRIETOR.
SAVANNAH, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1879.
ESTABLISHED 1850.
Augusta News: “It is a sure sign of busi
ness and growing prosperity when our fac
tories keep up the music of their looms early
and late, and then find it impossible to sup
ply the demand. Such is the condition of
our happy factories, for they are all doing
well, and selling ahead of production. This
is the reasou why cotton keeps up. The
mills are obliged to have it, and in such
quantities that prices keep up. Our milte
are not_ only supplying local orders and
those North, but orders for exportation
are very heavy. It may seem strange to
many that the United States not only 6hips
cotton, but is actually exporting manufac
tured goods to Europe, and that, too, in
immense quantities.' It is, however, none
the less true, and Augusta aud its magnifi
cent factories, that line the finest canal in
this country, are taking no insignificant part
in thi6 great work. Manufacturing enter
prises are our salvation, and the more we
rare the better for Augusta, and our far
sighted business men should go ahead aud
have every possible encouragement.”
Says the Covington Star: “The Southern
farmer's Monthly for November is on our
table. If such a thiDg is possible it Is a bet
ter number than any previous one. It is a
perfect gem of beauty in typography, while
it is well filled with matter that is of pecu
liar interest to every Georgia farmer. The
advantage It has over Northern agricultural
publications is that it practically treats of
matters pertaining to Georgia and the South,
while the modes and agricultural topics dis
cussed in Northern magazines are not pro
perly adapted to this section. We consider
the Southern Farmer's Monthly as invaluable
to our farmers, and the money paid for sub
scription to it ($2 per annum), could not be
invested iu any other way that would pay
the farmer as well. It is worthv of the
hearty support of our farming community.
Try it one year.”
Speaking of Georgia newspapers, the
Rome. Tribune says: “The Savannah daily
News is the stauuchest and ablest edited
paper in Georgia, full of news, its editorials
are marvels of thought aud sound judgment,
and upon the whole, it has few equals.”
Under the heading “Phenomenal,” the
Talbotton Register says: “About two weeks
since Dr J. 11. Bryan, attending a call of a
patient, was riding along the road between
Bellevue and Pleasant Hill, when at about
the hour of two o’clock iu the morning,
he observed stretching from north to south
and spanning the eutire heavens, a narrow
belt of intensely black cloud, which moved
slowly toward the west, where it was lost
below the horizon. The sky was bright
with stars, and not a cloud, other than the
one indicated, marred the jeweled expanse.
Who can read the portent?”
McDuffie Journal: “Mr. J. L. Eubanks, of
Liucolu county, has brought to our office a
very remarkable ear—or, rather, a duster of
ears—of corn. In the centre is a large ear,
and around this are ten small ears, all well
formed, filled with mature grains, and sur
rounded by the same shuck, making eleven
ears in all. We have seen clusters of this
kind containing four and five ears, but never
one with teu.”
Oglethorpe Echo: “We hear of several
cases of distemper among horses in this
county, and it is in a very serious form. Sore
eyes is killing off huudredsof chickens, and
has put a nauseating lock upon the stomachs
of epicures.”
We clip the following from the Grand
Rapias (Mich.) Eagle: “Mrs. Ellen E. Wil
son, of this city, has a rare paper sent her
by a friend. It, is a copy of the Savannah
(Ga.) Mousing News of the 9ch, containing
a full account of the Centennial anniversary
of the siege of that city by the British under
Lord Rawdon, with a map from that Gen
eral’s papers of the city as it was in 1779,
and a history of the siege and the great men
of that day.”
Gwinnett Herald: “ Rather a novel mar
riage occurred iu our village last week. A
gentleman and lady, both well advanced In
years, drove into town and hunted up the
Ordinary’s office, aud the groom stated that
their business was to get married. After
procuring the license he requested the Or
dinary to perform the ceremony, but he
nlodestly declined, as the lawmakers had
forgotten to give him authority. He, how
ever, tendered bis services to find somebody
that was armed with the proper credentials.
About that time Esquire Cosby, stepped
in, aud he was quickly drafted to dis
charge the pleasant duty. The parties,
Mr. Mikle, of Milton county, and Mrs.
Lowery, of Norcross, stepped foitb, were
soon united in the holy bauds, aDd
went away as happy as mated doves. Both
of them are on the shady side of fifty, but
are not too old to be a little romantic. It is
nor unusual for young couples to run away
from irate fathers and watchful mothers,
and why not old folks run away from the
children ?”
The Atlanta Dispatch says that the South
ern Railway and Steamship Association as
sembled iu Atlanta on Wednesday. News
papermen were excluded. Nothing inter
esting to the public transpired. Ex-Gov.
Brown is the President and Chas. A. Sindall,
of Macon, the Secretary. The Dispatch of
Thursday says: “To-day the body will go
into session at about ten o'clock, at which
session there will be an election to fill the
vacancy occasioned by the expiration of the
term of Mr. Virgil Powers, the Commis
sioner of the association. Knowing ones
i.‘.formed us last night that Mr. Powers will
be re-elected, probably without opposition.
The city is full of railroad men, some of
whom are not members of the association,
but invited lookers on.”

The Chinese continue to pour into the
Hawaiian Isiands in such numbers tha
the question of how’ to stop them is
growiDg to be of serious importance.
They constitute already over a fifth of
the entire population, and are almost all
males. They are useful on the sugar
plantations, but they do not assimilate
with the native population, whose ex
tinction they threaten at an early day,
and whom they will hardly replace satis
factorily as loyal subjects and citizens.
The government is trying to get the
needed labor supplies from the South
Sea Islands, but the owners of the Ha
waiian sugar estates, who care only for
their own business interests, are perfectly
willing to take the cheaper Chinese.
Over 2,000 Chinamen arrived at Hon
olulu in the second half of last j’ear,
which, considering the scanty popula
tion of the islands, is pretty heavy immi
gration.
Remarkable presence of mind was re
cently shown by a miner near Pottsville,
Penn. He was employed in a shaft on
Sharp Mountain. lie had lighted a fuse
and was climbing to the surface by
means of pegs in the side of the shaft.
When within a few leet of the top one
of the pegs gave way and tha unfortu
nate man fell to the*bottom, thirty feet
below. One of his thighs was broken
and the splintered bones were pushed
thio igh two paiis of pantaloons. Not
withstanding his terrible injuries, he Lad
sufficient presence of mind to crawl to
the lighted fuse, which had burned
within a few inches of the charge, and
smother it. If he had not done this he
would have been blown to pieces when
the explosion took place. lie then
crawled back to one of the earth buckets,
got into it without assistance, and was
hoisted to the surface.
Artesian wells are becoming popular.
They have been found especially useful
in Texas, which State always suffers,
more or less, from drouth and the drying
up of its streams and ponds. There is
hardly a part of Texas where artesian
wells cannot be sunk, aud plenty of water
obtained with great ease and at small ex
pense. Hut it is not only the country
that use these wells. They have been
found equally useful in the large cities.
All the leading hotels of Philadelphia are
supplied with water from artesian wells
and water of a much better quality than
ilir.t which the city provides. Even New
York, the city of the famous Croton
reservoir, is digging wells. The waste of
water in that city is so great that this
article of prime necessity has attained a
very high price, so high, indeed, that in
running a steam engine it costs two-thirds
as much as the fuel used.
Suicide from Fear of Paralysis.—
Chauncey Barnes, a sailmaker, of Brook
lyn, New York, died Monday from the
effects of a wound in the head, where he
shot himself Sunday evening. A week
ago he had a stroke of paralysis, and on
Sunday again complained of feeling un
well, and said to his wife that he was
af raid lie would have another attack, and
that if he was certain of it he would shoot
himself. Towards evening he appeared
to become more composed, and his wife
went down stairs to get supper ready.
A few moments later she heard the re
port of a pistol, and going up stairs,
found that her husband had shot himself
through the head. To the surprise of
the physicians who were called he re
mained alive seven hours, although the
bullet had p«u$ed through the brain.

from the steamship Ailsa, aud brought to
this city by train. This morning General
Ponco, military commander of the port,
dispatched some officers and a squad of
men in three boats, who took possession of,
launched and towed it to the city. The
Chilian Consul bad protested against per
mission being given its commander, an offi

the Peruvian Consul made an energetic
couuter protest, and agents of Peru are ex

The cable dispatch that Austria ha3
interfered in the settlement of the Egyp
tian debt means something more than a
grumble from Vienna, it is the extension
of the influence of the double alliance
between Germany and Austria over the
Levant, and threatens the close corpora
tion management of Egyptian affairs
hitherto carried on by France and Eng
land, hut with what, result it is impossi
ble to say. It may end in giving Eng
land exclusive control through her rela
tions with* the alliance. The precise
point at issue arises from the fact
that the Khedive borrowed freely on
account of Egypt, pledging its revenues,
and on his own private account, pledg
ing his personal estate. The “interna
tional” tribunal decided that, as every
piaster the Khedive was worth had been
made out of Egypt, his private estate
was liable in equity to the Egyptian bond
holders. The Khedive watched his time,
kicked the court out of Egypt, and paid
neither set of creditors. Sjnce then the
policy of France and England toward
Egypt has been apparently under the con
trol of the Rothscflilds, and directed iu
favor of the Egyptian bonds, of which
the great bankers are large owners.

THE BAINBRIDGE FAIR.
Tliomanvftlle aud Its Hotel Accom

A Brilliant Social Event—Side
Note*.
Bainbridge, November 5.—Editor Morn
ing News: On my way hither I spent a day
in Thomasvlllc. There was a general de
pression of feeJiug among the business men.
The shortness of the cottou crop has disap
pointed the expectations of a large propor
tion of tho merchants. They had laid in
large stocks of goods early in the
season, and now the people are un
able to purchase them, or if they
do, they are unable to pay for them. Yet
in talking to some of the farmers I find a
better 6tate of feeling. They are more
hopeful to-day than a week" ago. The bolls
hail not rotted to the extent that they had
supposed they had, nor was the cottou so
badly damaged. The sunshine of the past
week has developed a better condition of the
crop than any had calculated on, and al
though fearfully short, the receipts will ex
ceed the estimates of a week ago consid
erably.
Thoinasville has become an extensive
winter resort, and certainly there is no bet
ter climate for those troubled with pulmo
nary diseases than the high and dry lands
of Thomas county. Aud there is no town
in the South of the same size that furnishes
ampler or more desirable hotel accommoda
tions than Thomasville. The Mitchell House,
as a hotel, is not excelled anywhere. It is
kept by Geo. C. Brown & Co. The Gulf
House, at the depot, has been put in splen
did conditi n by Mr. Clay, the proprietor.
The Young House, kept by that most ex
cellent landlady, Mra. E. J. Young, is as
home like and comfortabie as any place ia
Georgia. The table is aduudautly supplied
with every good thing, and her beds clean
aud comfortable, her roomsall carpeted, and
every appoiulmeut complete. The West End
House has receutly been opened by Mrs.
Mattie Davis and Mrs. McEiven, aud is kept
iu elegant style. These good ladies are pre
pared to make their house all that can be
desired, and they deserve a liberal patron
age. They are cultivated and accomplished
ladies.
BAINBRIDGE FAIR.
At seven o’clock Col. Joe Hull and the
writer left Thoma&ville and its pleasant sur
roundings for tills charming little city, with
its magnificent oaks and enterprising citi
zens. The fair grounds were open,and as is
always the case the first day, exhibitors
were* busy in making entries and arranging
their articles to show off to best advantage.
Tne hall was not quite eo full on the first
day as last year, yet it was a very creditable
exhibition. The crowd in attendance was
necessarily small.
There was one race of a mile dash for un-
traiued horses, best two out of three. There
were six horses at the start, and on the
home stretch they’ were strung along for a
hundred yards. Several of them being dis
tanced, they were ruled off. The best time
made was 1:05, and was won by Albert
Winn. The second and third heats were
won by Mr. Westbrook’s sorrel mare Emma
in 1:20 and 1:25.
The steamer Moore had been chartered to
give an excursion every day, but there were
eo few to go iu the afternoon that the ex
cursion was put off until 10 o’clock at night,
when quite a merry crowd througed the lit
tle steamer and “danced by the light of the
moon.” What tim they returned I did not
learn, as I had quietly slowed myself away
under a pair of blankets at the Sharon
House, and was oblivious to passing events
the remainder of the night.
Colonel O’Neil, the efficient President of
the association, and his assistants, are doing
everything to make the fair a success, and
the prospect is very battering. An excellent
programme has beeu marked out. aud if
properly executed, will render the whole
exhibition a complete success.
A BRILLIANT SOCIAL EVENT.
There assembled at the Presbyterian
Church on last night an immense crowd,
every seat and aisle were filled, and a large
crowd outside the door, unable to get even
upon the steps, to witness the marriage of
.Rev. J. T. McBryde, the popular pastor of
tne church, to Miss Ada Dickinson, one of
the loveliest and best members of Bainbridge
society. Mr. McBryde has been pastor of
the Presbyterian Church here for two or
three years past, and has greatly endeared
himself to his people as well as to the citi
zens generally. Miss Dickinson is the
daughter of Mr. Win. C. Dickinson, of this
place,* aud is one of the most charming
Christian ladies of Bainbridge. A universal
invocation went up for blessings and peace
to abide upon them, when the word was
pronounced that made them one. The
ceremouy was eloquently performed by
Rev. Mr. Kerr, of Thomasville. The wed-
diug party repaired to the parlor at the
Sharon House, when Mr. aud Mrs. Me-
Bryde gave a reception to their many
friends. A perfect crowd were passing for
over an hour extending congratulations and
benedictions.
The following were the attendants of the
bride and groom upon this delightful occa
sion—Mr. Wnt. McLendon and Miss Julia
Dickinson, Mr. Win. Blount and Miss Ida
Dickinson, Major G. W. Ilaynes and Miss
Anna Dickinson, Mr. C. Buell and Miss M.
Belcher, Mr. J. D. Pender and Miss Lizzie
McGill. Among the bridal presents was a
full set of China, consisting of fifty-four
pieces, the gift of the gentlemen attendants;
Miss Anna Dickinson, a beautiful silver
pickle stand; a set of silver knives by W. T.
Gaulden; an elegant pin cushion by Major
Haynes; a splendid pair of vases by Mis6
Belcher; a full bed room set of elegant fur
niture by friends iu Bainbridge, aud the
groom presented to his bride a splendid
gold watch and chain.
At a late hour the company dispersed,
after one of the most brilliant social events
ever occurring in Bainbridge.
SIDE NOTES.
The Atlanta Phonograph has a most effi
cient representative here, in the person of
Mr. A. K. Jennings.
Capt. Triplett, of the Thomasville Times,
is here, looking as young and fresh as ever.
These are the only two papers represented
at the fair as yet.
Mr. I. M. Rosenfeld presided at the organ
last night at the marriage of Mr. McBryde.
And, by the way, he is the agent here for
that wide-awake firm of Savannah, Messrs.
Ludden & Bates. He has twx> splendid
pianos and two organs on exhibition at the
fair grounds. They attract a great deal of
attention.
The crowd to-day was not as large as was
first anticipated. To-morrow is the big day.
The “Moore” went down the Flint river
this morning with quite a crowd. They
were gone about two hours, aud everybody
seemed delighted with the trip.
Col. B. B. Bower, of this city, arrived
home this morning from the North, where
he had been absent for some weeks.

Food and Feeding.—Unquestionably
tobacco is an ally of temperance; certain
ly it is so in the estimation of the gour
met. A relationship for him of the
most perfect order is that "which subsists
between coffee and fragrant smoke.
While wine and tobacco arc antipathetic,
the one affecting injuriously all that is
grateful in the other, the aroma of coffee
“marries” perfectly with the perfume of
the finest leaf. Among the Mussulmans
this relationship is recognized to the full
est extent; and also throughout the conti
nent the use of coffee, which .is almost
symbolical of temperate habits, is in
timately associated with the cigarette or
cigar. Only by the uncultured classes of
Great Britian aud of other northern na
tions, who appear to possess the most iu-
sensitive palates in Europe, have smoke
and alcoholic drinks been closely as
sociated. By such, tobacco and spirit
have been sought chiefly as drugs, and
are taken mainly for their effects on the
nervous system—the easy but disastrous
means of becoming stupid, besotted or
drunk. People of cultivated tastes, on
the other hand, select their tobacco or
their wines, not for their qualities as
drugs, but for those subtler attributes of
flavor and perfume, which exist often in
inverse proportion to the injurious
narcotic ingredients, which latter are as
much as possible avoided, or are accepted
chiefly for the sake of the former.—Sir
Henry Thompson, in Popular Science
Monthly for September.
Two Illinois farmers, who had a large
crop of wheat to sell, went to Chicago
and frequented the Board of Traae
rooms, which is a resort for speculators
in produce. Their attention was at
tracted by an old man who constantly
talked and gesticulated all by himself.
They made his acquaintance, and he told
them that his strange conversation was
with spirits, who kept him informed as
to the future of the market He said
that he lacked the money to take advan
tage of these supernatural points, but
would sell them at a reasonable price.
The farmers at once put him on a liberal
salary, and only lost faith in him when
he stole a diamond pin from one of them.
The fact that he had swindled many
other speculators was t hen divulged,
A DREADFUL EXPERIENCE.
The Sufferings of Two Shipwrecked
ITIen—Five Bays Without Food.
A special dispatch from New Orleans
relates the following details of shipwreck
and suffering:
The Spanish steamer Enrique, from
Matanzas, brought to this port two sea
men, Gustav Michel, a German, and An
tonio Diaz, a Spaniard, the sole survivors
of the American brigantine Salty, Capt.
Jose Artigea Aharez, which was capsized
in the Gulf, about oue hundred miles
southeast of South Pass light. The Salty
was owned at Key West, and left Pensa
cola for Havana with a heavy load of
lumber on the 2oth of October. Michel,
who was on his way to Havana to join
the British brig Florence as mate, says
the crew consisted of eight men. It was
blowing hard at the time thev left Pensa
cola, and the brig was found to be leak
ing badly, as soon as they got to sea.
The pumps were kept going from the
start. On the 2Gth the wind had in
creased to a terrific gale, the heavy sea
sweeping the forcyard every moment.
Early in the morning of the next day
(Sunday), the crew, who had been con
stantly at the pumps, were only able to
get some bread and coffee, the last meal
they were destined to eat together.
The next day, about 8 o r clock in the
morning, the vessel was thrown on her
beam ends, and it was impossible for her
to recover her equilibrium, being now
hopelessly water-logged. Michel had
lashed himself to the wheel, of which he
was in charge at the time the vessel went
over, and to this, in all probability, he
owed his safety. The steward was killed*
by the falling of the mainmast, which
went by the board as the vessel capsized,
and the only other survivor, strange to
say, was saved by being entangled in the
rigging at the time. The two survivors
were, therefore, enabled to climb to the
side of the vessel, then out of the water
and hold on. The Captain, mate and
three of the crew managed to get into the
long boat just as tho vessel went over.
They dared not come near the wreck for
fear of being swamped in attempting to
save their two comrades, neither of whom
could swim. Teu minutes after the long
boat left the wreck it was lost sight of.
A very high sea was running at the time,
and Michel thinks it was lost.
Upon the following Friday the two
men held on desperately to the wreck,
with nothing to drink but salt water and
the blood of a cat, which they kfiled and
ate, dividing six spoonfuls of the blood
between them. Diaz, who speaks only
Spanish, gave your correspondent tho
following additional particulars: He
says that he was trying to free the loDg-
boat from its fastenings at the moment
the vessel was capsized. At that instant
he lost all sense of consciousness. When
he revived he found himself entangled in
the main rigging, from which he extri
cated himself and climbed up on the
mast. As the longboat drifted to lee
ward the Captain called to him to jump.
At that time, however, it was too far,
aud he dared not attempt it, as he could
not swim.
ffDuring the five days they clung to the
side of the vessel their sufferings, both
from hunger and thirst, became intoler
able. The vessel, to whose sides they
clung, still rolled heavily iu the swell of
the sea, exhausting every moment the
little strength they had. On Thursday
they sighted a bark, to which they made
signals of distress. She cither did not
see or did not heed them, and so passed
on. On Friday morning, after dividing
the blood of the cat between them with
the most scrupulous exactness, noth
agreed if assistance did not appear
before night to relax their hold upon
the vessel and drop into the sea. Endu
rance could go no further, and they both
reasoned that death would be easier
than the sufferings they endured. To
wards noon of that day Michel became
delirious, and Diaz found it almost im
possible to control him. His mouth had
become sore and swollen from the use
of the salt water, which he would per
sist in drinking, and it was impossible
to understand what he wanted to say,
even when his delirium had passed off.
Diaz says he was sure that assistance
would come in the time they agreed to
wait for it, and his only way was to
keep his companion in the same hopeful
spirit.
Late on Friday afternoon they were
aroused from the almost despair into
which both had fallen by the appear
ance of a large steamer, bearing down
towards them. Darkness was now
coming on rapidly, and they were afraid
that their signals might not be noticed.
They made every effort that their little
strength was capable o‘ to attract atten
tion and shouted with all their might.
The Enrique and its gallant commander
had Discovered them and they were
saved. Both men lost everything they
had in the world except the clothes they
wore. The}’ are profuse in expressions of
g atitude to Captain De Mugico, of the
nrique, who kindly furnished them
with everything—shelter, clothing and
food. Michel says he has been twenty-
nine years at sea, but had never ex>
J jerienced anything so dreadful a9 his
ast disaster, although he was mate of
the Robert Ruff, of Galveston, during
the hurricane of September, 1877. Most
of the time he has sailed from New
York, where he has many friends.
It is impossible to ascertain the names
of the men who were lost, as the brigan
tine’s papers were not accessible after
she capsized.
A Colorado Juror.—The dry,cutting
satire, practiced so much by the cross-
examining lawyer of to-day, is some
times as dangerous in court as it would
be on the street. A short time ago a jury
was sitting on a case in southern Colora
do. A woman took the stand, and was
somewhat unceremoniously treated by
the lawyers. At last a particularly dry
and caustic fellow began to practice on
her with the cross-examination. Now,
among the jurymen was one gentleman,
who* was drawn with apprehension and
fear of consequences. He was a free,
wild miner, with no more idea of the re
strictions of law and justice than a buf
falo. He had twitched uneasily while
the woman w’as being examined, and
could only be kept still by being pro
voked into a whispered conversation with
the foreman. As the cross examination
reached a particular point, he astonished
the court by jumping up, thrusting his
hand into his hip pocket, and exclaim
ing to the lawyer: “Hi thar, Mr. Stick-
in-the Mud!” This from a juryman
brought every eye in wonder and amuse
ment upon him. He heeded nothing and.
proceeded: “Jack McCabe won’t ’low
no'man to talk to a woman in that shape;
not while he’s round!” The judge re
buked honest Jack, and he slunk into
his seat, embarrassed but mad. The law
yer, turning upon him with withering
scorn, began, bombastically : “Of what
weight with me is the opinion of an ig
norant juryman? I ” “That’s what
I thought,” said Jack, as, with one
bound, he cleared the rail and wound him
self around the lawyer. Before a consta
ble could reach and separate,the struggl
ing pair, Jack had macerated the lawyer
so that he was obliged to give up the ca3e
and go home on a shutter. The juryman
nearly cleaned out the court before he
could be placed under arrest, disabling
two constables and putting tbe crier and
the judge to flight. Another argument,
against the jury system.—Boston Herald.
The commerce between Brazil and the
United States from 1859 to 1879, inclu
sive, aggregates $709,870,337, or an
average of $33,804,144 per annum. Of
this trade $57G,021,293 have been pro
ducts of Brazil sold to the United States,
and $133,849,044 are domestic and
foreign exports from the United States to
Brazil. Thus in the course of these
twenty-one years the United States-have
bought four times as many goods from
Brazil as they have sold to that country.
The excess of Imports over exports,
amounting to $442,172,249, has been
paid for by the United States in bills of
exchange on England, and has afforded
that country a valid profit on all the
business of ours during the whole course
of these years.
Paul H. Hayne.
AuQusta Chronicle and Constitutionalist.
In a recent communication, Mr. Paul
H. Hayne, replying to certain charges
that he had abused the South for neglect
of literary culture and literary men, says:
“Now, after almost thirty years of
literary labor, devoted to productions
distinctly Southern in tone, sentiment
and motive, imputations against me of
the nature designated are, to say the
least, somewhat humiliating.
“At all events they are untrue, unau
thorized and untenable. If I have been
traveling North for some months past, it
has been in search of health, not of a new
home; in search of health shattered by
long continued and arduous work, much
of it undertaken to vindicate the fame
and illustrate the intellectual claims of
that very section which it is now as
sumed I am so ready to depreciate and
abandon.
“If ever I have uttered anything touch
ing the lukewarmness of the South (even
in the days of her grea’est prosperity) to
wards her literary children, the melan
choly truth has been embodied in South
ern journals, frankly, openly, fearlessly,
over my own proper signature, and not
bruited with treacherous or embittered
breath for the delectation of the alien.
“Finally, let me observe, that while
deeply grateful to my friends, and
literary brothers of the North, for a
courtesy, kindness and consideration,
never to be forgotten, I still return to my-
Georgia home, not in discontent and re
pining, but glad to hear once more the
music of the Southland pines that have
breathed ‘strange and sweet thoughts’
into my c-ar while living, and will mur
mur, 1 trust, over my grave.” '
Mr. Hayne was hardly called upon to
notice these anonymous imputations, nor
did lie have any just cause to feel humi
liated by them, eeeiug that they were of
such a kind as to merit no reply. His
whole life, as he says, is a rebuke as well
as reply to any such charges, aud no one,
we think, ever seriously thought that he
had, in any manner, reviled his section
or its people. Nor was he to
blame for stating, as he has many
times done, that a literary man, pure and
simple, has a rugged road to travel in
the South. This, of course, is more the
misfortune of genius than anything else,
and it is, or has been, until receutty, as
common to cne State as another, and
just as sad a truth of the old world as
the new. There is no more melancholy
story than that of Henry Timrod as told
by Paul H. Hayne, and some day the
true history of Paul H. Hayne may
bring a blush to his fellow-countrymen
for their neglect of a rare and noble in
tellect. entirely devoted to art, and toe
ethereal perhaps for this workday
world.
Mr. naync is one of the few gifted
poets of the South who has lived true to
his calling and inspiration. Others have
either abandoned the muse altogether, or
else only at long intervals wooed her,
without any intention of serious quest or
true lover Tike enchantment. Some, like
Flash, are deep in Western produce, and
others have gone into politics aud made
a support out of prose writing and most
prosy plodding iu some newspaper or
mercantile treadmill. But Hayne has
never wavered in his allegiance to his
beloved art, and though he may never,
in this world, receive his reward, it will
surety come hereafter to him and his
descendants.
We cordially welcome him back to
Georgia, after notable symposia with
tuneful brethren of the North with
whom he could claim equal fellowship
and spiritual kindred. May the aromatic
piues deliver unto him their divinest
thoughts and dearest secrets, and may
the day be very distant when they shall
weep above the grass that “Sighs to mid
night winds, but not to song!”
Enormous Increase of Plantations of
Cinchona Trees.
The high price of quinine is stimulat
ing the planting of cinchona trees in large
quantities in tropical countries other than
that of which they are natives. At one
time nearly all the Peruvian bark, as it
is commonly called, was drawn from the
eastern slopes of the Cordilleras. Trees
of this genus, producing the alkaloids of
quinine and cinchona, were not to be
found outside of South America between
the latitudes twenty degrees south and
ten degrees north. Of late years planta
tions of cinchona trees have been formed
in Java and the Dutch colonies in India,
and on the Island of SL Helena; the
bark produced in India, on the Neil-
gherry hills, being remarkably rich in
quinine, and those who now find them
selves in possession of well grown plan
tations of cinchona trees derive at the
present prices of quinine large profits
from the sale of the bark. Nearly all
the bark imported into the United
States comes from South America, and
as the supply there is annually diminish-
ing, greater efforts are being put forth
to grow the trees in other tropical coun
tries. A Ceylon paper states that by
the end of the present year there will
have been planted out in that island
thirty millions of seedlings of the cin
chona trees, and that five years hence
there will be fifty millions of trees; but
as the failures are estimated to average
fifty per cent of the number of seed
lings planted, the surviving trees at the
end of the next five years are put at
twenty-five millions. At present the
consumption of cinchona bark through
out the world is slated to be ten millions
of pounds annually, and the demand for
this famous febrifuge is only limited by
its high cost. The extensive plantations
of cinchona trees set out within the past
ten years, and which are being annually
increased in new fields, promise before
long to make the supply equal to the de
mand, aud to put it at a price that will
bring it within the means of all pe:sons
needing this valuable remedial agent.
Sunlight and Health.—Sunlight is
even more necessary to health iu summer
than in wiuter, for one, among, other
reasons, that disinfectants of all sorts are
more necessary in summer than in winter.
The raj s of heat quicken the vital powers,
the chemical rays exert their mysterious
and potent influence, and the illuminating
rays, independently of the others, com 1 -
municate motion. The exhalations from
our bodies in warm weather are more
copious than they are in cold weather,
and if we shut out the light from our
houses we remove the most efficient of all
agents in destroying what is unwhole
some. The noxious vapors, which free
admission of air and light would remove,
are absorbed by carpets and upholstery,
and are productive of disease. Those
who are accustomed to thedarkness and
dampness of close rooms may not con
sciously suffer therefrom, hut that they
sustain real injury is evident in their
pallid faces, their flaccid muscles, and
their nerveless movements. The con
trast between them and those whose lives
are passed in the open air is too evident
to need oomment. It may not be neces
sary to expose during the day every room
in the house to the direct rays of the sun.
but there should be frequent opening of
doors and windows, so that the solar rays
may perform their beneficent office. Bed
rooms and other rooms in constant use
should receive most careful attention in
this respect; sick rooms especially require
thorough sunning and ventilation, and.
if possible, should always have a southern
aspect. More patients die on the north
side of hospitals than on the south side;
there arc moic deaths on the shadv side
of any street than on the sunny side. A
notable Southern housekeeper, observing
strictly the following rule during the
summer months, kept her house perfectly
sweet, cool and dry from May to Octo
ber: Until 10 o’clock in the morning all
the doors and windows were opened
wide; then they were closed till 4 in the
afternoon, and then opened again until
nightfall. This rule might not do. in all
localities, but such a use of it os should
secure a free access of light and air to
every part of the house at least once a
day would be productive of good results.

B0DIE, THE GOLD HUNTER.
His Beath In a Snowstorm Twenty
Years Ago and the Recent Finding
of His Body.
A recent Associated Press dispatch
from San Francisco stated that the re
mains of Waterman S. Bodic, the original
discoverer of the famous silver mining
district, had been discovered near the
town of Bodie. The deceased was, thirty
years ago, a xesident of Poughkeepsie,
N. Y., where he workecTat his trade of
tinsmith. He was regarded by his as
sociates as a kind of leader on account of
his superior skill as a workman and be
cause of his naturally energetic disposi
tion. On the breaking out of the gold
fever in 1848 he took passage in the sloop
Matthew Yassar and sailed round the
Horn to San Francisco. After
prospecting several years, during
a part of which time he is said to have
lost heavily in the dry goods business,
he finally struck the surface vein of the
Bodie mine, and with several others
built a hut and went to work. During
all this time he had written regularly to
his wife in this city, and had sent her
money for her support. In November,
1859, the mining party found themselves
threatened with starvation, and Bodie
with a companion started for a neighbor
ing settlement to buy provisions. On
the return trip the two men were lost in
a snow storm, and, bewildered by the
blinding flakes, they wandered for hours
in the intense cold through drifts and
gulches. Bodie became delirious" and
his companion was forced to abandon him
in order to save himself. Luckily he
went but a short distance from camp.
No trace was ever found of Bodie. For
twenty years his wife has never given up
a faint hope of seeing him again. During
these years she has lived in Poughkeep
sie, earning a scanty living as a seam
stress. She has lost six children. One
was drowned in a mill-pond and another
fell from a high building and was killed.
It has been rumored that Bodie’s .claim
in the mine was still good and that the
proof of his death will throw an immense
fortune into the hands of his destitute
widow, but good authority states that
Bodie’s partners, discouraged by his
death, left the claim, which, after sev
eral years, was “jumped” and the mice
reopened by others. It is not known
here how the identification of the re
mains was made, but it is probable that
the delirious man fell into some deep
canon filled with ice, in which his body
has been kept for two decades.
The Strange History of Shipp’s
Place.—There is a farm Dear Evergreen
Park. Chicago, known as Shipp’s Place,
that bears the reputation of being fatal to
nearly every one coming within its
boundaries. The last incident was the
death of the owner, Mr. Alfred Shipp, on
the 1st instant, bv being impaled on the
horn3 of an angry bull. He had gone
into the field to feed the animal, when he
was pinned to an upright post by a thrust
of the horn that passed entirety through
his body. This ill-fated locality Las with
in the last ten years been the scene of
several violent or sudden deaths, without
counting a dozen narrow escapes from
horrible accidents. About three years
ago, during the absence of the family,
August Franks, a hired man, was killed
by Wm. Orvitt, a fellow laborer, for the
purpose of robbery. Franks lived two
days, and Orvitt is now in prison serving
a term of two years. Six years ago two
brothers, laborers, who occupied a cabin,
were found dead, each with a bloody
knife in his grasp, while the scattered
cards gave the only indication of the
cause of quarrel. The last incident was
preceded by an Irishman perishing under
one of the trees during a violent snow
storm. An accidental discharge of a
fowling piece caused the death of a man
at the hands of a brother sportsman, while
aiming at a rabbit. A few years since a
Mr. Smith, a lawyer of Chicago, pur
chased ten acres of the farm, and com
menced the building of an elegant
country residence. After his house wa3
partly up the purchaser brought his wife
to view the premises, aud she was to stay
a few days at the farm house. She was
suddenly prostrated with illness, and not
withstanding the best medical attendance,
she survived only a few days. The un
happy purchaser never finished his
suburban residence, and the unfinished
barn still stands lonely in the grove, a
melancholy evidence of neglect, seeming
a silent witness to some sad and mourn
ful history. The farm seems, indeed, to
be fated. Its history is a history of
tragedies, each one sadder than its pre
decessor. The last one breaks up a happy
home and scatters a happy family.
Egyptian Pomades.—Most interesting
is. the reflection liow persistent is that
human weakness which for more than
G,000 years has rewarded the skill of the
professors of cosmetic art. We know
from the Mishna that the oil of roses, and
the use of acid remedies for the toothache,
are as old as -the codification of the oral
law. Nay more, the use in those early
days of artificial teeth is proved by the
debate oa the question whether it was
allowable to go out on the Subbath
with these contrivances in tbe mouth.
The decision, a very characteristic one,
was that if the tooth was regarded as an
ornament it was legal to do so, but not
if it was regarded as a useful implement.
It was also allowed to bear about the
person on the Sabbath a fox’s tooth,
which, if extracted from the living ani
mal, was good to procure sleep. But the
prescription or Tota carries us back for
some 2.500 ytars before the exodus. We
might have formed our own conclusions
as to the care that must have been given
to the arrangements of the complex head
tiring of the early Egyptians. We have
their actual wigs in the British, as well
as in the Beilin, museum. We even
have afforded us a glimpse at a monarch
who exercised the paternal care of in
structing his people as to their pomades!
We must be pardoned for expressing the
regret that this ancient recipe is not trans
lated. It would be curious to compare
its chemical ingredients with those of
the latest effort of American crinology,
petroleum pomade, which is said to be of
miraculous efficacy.-—Edinburgh Review.
A Geographical Problem Solved.—
Within the present generation, and
mainly during the present decade, nearly
all the great geographical problems left us
by our adventurous ancestors have been
solved; all the great lines of exploration
have been taken up and worked with a
success that leaves to the future only the
details to fill in. The Northwest passage
was completed more than a quarter of a
century ago; the Australian interior has
been crossed aud recrossed within the last
few years; several bright lines now break
up the once mysterious darkness of the
“Dark Continentthe sources of the Nile
have been traced, and the course of the
Congo all but laid down; the Russians
have filled up many important blanks in
Central Asia; there is now no mystery to
speak of for geographers of the North
American Continent, and none of any
magnitude on the South; even the great
outlines of the ocean bed bave been
charted, and now at last, after a struggle
begun more than 300 years since, the
Northeast passage has been made with an
ease that makes one wonder why it was
not done long ago. A matler-of-fact
Swedish Professor has shown that with
a suitable ship at the proper season that
long sought-for passage to the “Far
Cathay” is a question of only a few weeks.
Of Arctic feats there remains only the
“dash at the Pole,’* and the North Pole
will be reached sooner or later there can
be no doubt.
A Dinner Table Surprise.—Senator
Booth’s dinner to Gen. Grant at Sacra
mento bad a merry surprise iu the midst
of it. Forty five gentlemen sat down to
the table, and dinner was nearly finished,
when suddenly the folding doors at one
end of the room, which the table nearly
touched, were thrown open, and behold!
there was another room of the same size
as the first, and down its length extended
a table at which were seated forty-fire
ladies with Mrs. Grant, all of whom had
been dining comfortably the while. The
gentieineQ arose, applauded and wared
handkerchiefs, the ladies returned cordial
greetings, -and the evening most pleasant
ly proceeded.
Household Recipes.
Butter Taffy.—One-half pint molas
ses, one-half pint water, one pound loaf
sugar, one-quarter pound butter. Let
boil without stirring until by dropping a
little in water you find it is done.
Regilding Picture Frames.—Get a
bottle of gold paint, take a sauce dish
and mix up a little at a time, for it is m
two bottles, and apply with a small paint
brush. It will cost 65 cents, and will re
gild a number.
Waffles.—One pint of sweet milk,
four eggs, one large capful of cold rice
or hominy, a little salt, floor to make a
stiff batter, baking powder in the pro
portion of three teaspoonsfnl to a quart
of flour.
Poverty Cake.—One pint of milk, one

with half a pint of milk. Beat up well
the yolks and whites of four eggs, a little
salt and a quarter of a pound of grated
old English cheese. Add these to the
flour and milk, and whisk all the ingre
dients together for half itn hour. Put
three ounces of butter into a frying pan,
and when it is boiling pour in the above
mixture; try it for a few minutes and
then turn it carefully; when it is suf
ficiently cooked on the other side, turn

getlier: add the pepper and salt, the yel
low of one egg and a few drops of lemon
juice. Kneed together without using
any water. Roll it out thinly on a

minutes.
Cocoanut Tart la Teens.—Make a
puff paste, roll out quarter of an inch
thick, cut with crimped cutter three
inches in diameter and place about a dozen
of them on a pan two inches apart, wash
with water; take a dozen more and with
a plain round cutter one and a half
inches in diameter, nearly (not quite) cut
out the middle, place these on top of the
other dozen, wash with milk and bake;
when cooked take out the middle part cf
the top one, leaving a deep hole in them,
then dip them fully into gum water, tak
ing out quickly and rolling in grated
cocoanut and place them by to dry, then
fill the hole in the centre with a rich corn
starch custard, with a piece of jelly in
centre.
Apple and Rice Pudding.—Boil three
tablespoonfuls of rice, after washing it
in three waters, in half a pint of water
and three tablespoonfuls of milk. When
nearly soft add two tablespoonfuls of
white sugar, the grated peel of a lemon
and the beaten yolks of two eggs. Stir
rapidly until it is quite cooked. Then
pile it up as a wall around a platter or
plate. Pare tart apples, take out the
cores, and stew them in the juice of a
lemon, three tablespoonfuls of sugar and
a little water. Cover closely, stew until
soft, but not so much as to break to
pieces. Place the apples and syrup in
side of the rice. Beat the whites of the
eggs to a stiff froth, lay it over the
apples, sift sugar over it and brown
lightly in a hot oven. Serve with sweet
cream.
Rules for Cake.—Have the ingre
dients all measured and prepared and
the tins buttered before mixing the
materials. Sift the cream of tartar, or
baking powder, well into the flour, dis
solve the soda in the milk, or, if no milk
is used, in a little warm water; roll the
sugar; beat the batter to a cream; mix
the butter and sugar together; beat the
whites and yolks of the eggs separately.
When fruit is used it must always be
added the last thing, and dredged with
flour to prevent its falling to the bottom.
Cake, to be light, should be baked slowly
at first, until the butter is evenly heated
all through. Cake is very much more
delicate made with pulverized sugar than
when made with a coarser kind. Eggs
will beat lighter and quicker if they are
put into a basin of cold water for half an
hour before using.
Railway Pudding.—Railway pud
ding is a dessert that can be served hot
or cold. Use one ounce of batter, one
teacupful of sugar, same quantity of
flour, one tablespoOnful of flavoring ex
tract, three eggs, one-half tablespoonful
of milk and a dessert spoonful of baking
powder. Mix the flour and sugar well
together in a bowl, and then add the
baking powder. Break the three eggs in
a separate basin and stir lightly with a
spoon. Add to the eggs the flavoring
extract and milk, and then mix with the
flour and sugar as quickly-as possible.
Having thu * worked it into a thick paste,
turn iDfo a pan which has been well
greased with the ounce of butter, and
bake in a quick oven for ten minutes.
When baked cut into square pieces,
which should be split open and spread
with preserves. This pudding can be
served cold for tea.

Skin Disease.
GREAT SUFFERING FOR SIXTEEN YEARS
—A WONDERFUL CURE BY THE CUTI
CURA REMEDIES.
Messrs. Weeks <£ Potter: Gexileme?—Cuti
cura Remedies have done me a power of good.
I have been afflicted with skin disease for six
teen years. Some days it troubled me more
than others, but at night the itching nearly
drove me wild.
I would scratch until the blood would run
down my limbs.
I have had several physicians. Some said
they could cure me. but others said not.
I will say that before I used the Cuticura
Remedies I was in a fearful state, and had
given up all hope of ever having any relief.
But, like a drowning man grasping at A
straw, I thought I would try the CuticuraKeme-
dies, about wnich I had read so much.
They have performed a wonderful cure for
me, and of my own free will and accord I re
commend them. Yours truly,
