Impair Breath. Among all the disagreeable conse quences that follow the decay of the teeth, an impure breath must be tlie uiost mortifying and unpleasant to its possess or, anil it is the most inexcusable and of fensive in society; and yet the cause of it may lie easily removed by cleansing the teeth ilaily with that justly popular den- trifrice, fragrant SOZODOXT. It puri ties and sweetens the breath, cools and refreshes tlie mouth, and gives a pearl- like appearance to the teeth. Gentlemen who indulge in smoking should cleanse their teeth with SOZODOXT, as it re moves all unpleasant odors of tlie weed. Ask your druggist for it. july 8 J. W. JOINER, VITCHMJIIER andJEWELEB LOCATED'AT . W. H. Gilbert, Ag’t, & Co., BROAD STREET. The Thomasvillc Enterprise has here tofoce opposed Colquitt, hut now sup ports him. It says: “We consider the unity of the party in our county of tlie very first iin] ortanec. We cannot afford to have a split among our people here, as it would make an opportunity for the election of a Re publican. For the sake of this unity we waive all of our objections to Gen A. II. Colquitt, to tlie planner in which tlie campaign was conducted, and the management of the conven tion. We have only to ask that, as we, and many o.tliers who have felt with us in the whole canvass, are will ing to yield our opinions for the sake of Harmony, those who have been for Colqnitt will meet us half way and help us bury all differences. Gov. Colquitt will be elected anyhow, and there is no use in talking about him; let. iis drop all discussion in regard to him and his merits or demerits, and unite in working for our Han cock and English electors and II. G. Turner for Congress.” The Heathereotes This is tlie title of a new serial story, by Miss Mat Crim, of Atlanta, the first chapters of which will appear in the Sa vannah Weekly News of Saturday, Aug.

Little dogs’ heads arc the newest objects which arc seen imbedded in the glass of Buffon bonnets. Smooth feather fans, painted with flowers, come in all shapes and arc pretty to carry witli while gowns. Don color is to supersede helio trope in the autumn, it is said. It is pretty and more becoming than the latter color. New robes do chambrc have large full sleeves shirred in at the armhole, and also shirred at the wrist to a uar row embroidered cuff. Amber colored roses are very fash ionable on black Spanish lace bonnets A fringe of amber beads forms a sort of coronet on the hair in front. In London only one kind of neck lace is worn by young women, a don ble row of pearls with a diamond clasped tightly wound nbout the throat or worn over a lace lappet. Natural flowers arc worn at balls in the shape of pockets, nciklacesaiid bracelets. Some of the short sleeves arc composed of double rows of roses Great quantities of inec are worn. At a London ball, which cost $50,- 000, a weeping asli iu the garden was transferred into a fountain, and bow ers of real grape vines were arranged along-sidc of the corridors in the house. Railway Speeds. The London Times says: “Thelast achievment in quick travelling was from Leeds to London, by the Great Northern railway, in three and three quarter hours. To the timid, who will be ready to ask if such speed is safe, the reply is that the saving of time obtained over the journey in four hours is got rather by reducing the number of stoppages than by act ual increase in the rate of travelling. The run from Wakefield to Grant- barn. a distance of seventy-one miles was made in one hour and twenty- one minutes, and from Grantham to King’s Cross, a distance of 105 miles, in two hours and five minutes. The average speed, including stoppages, from Leeds to Loudou, was about about 49 miles per honr. The service is the quickest in the' world, and tlie next quickest in the world, and the next quickest is the company’s four- hours’ train from Leeds to London.— Following that the most rapid trav elling in the country is the “Flying Dutchman.” from London to Exeter, which accomplishes the distance of 194 miles in 4 hours and 10 minutes; and then next in order is the “W ild Irishman,” from Euston to Holyhead in C hours and 35 minutes, the dis tance being 264 miles.” Hr. F. Wolcott Jackson, the gen eral superintendent of the Pennsylva nia railroad in Jersey City, after read ing this account, said that her majes ty’s subjects need not be boastful over the speed of their railway trains. A month ago a train was run from Jer sey City to West Philadelphia, a dis tance of 90 miles, in 93 minutes, which included four stoppages and a slack-up of the train at two difleren- points. “The number of stations be tween the two cities,” lie said, “is 54. The train which leaves Jersey City at 11.06 a. m., stops at all these stations, and yet reaches West Philadelphia at 1.55 p. in., or 45 miles per hour. Tluit is the slowest train during tho day. We have one train which slat Is regu larly from Jersey City at 3.35 and readies West Philadelphia at 5.25— over 48 miles an hour—and another train which starts at 4.05 gets there at 5.55. That is over 43 miles an hour also. We have made a mile a minute on tlie road, and there is no faster time on record. The mail train at 8.25 p. m., always reaches Philadel phia at 10.50, though stopping at all tlie stations. The newspaper train at 4.35 a. m., stops at Elizabeth, New Brunswick and Morrisvillc to take passengers for Trenton and Philadel phia, and at North Penn. Junction to let off passengers. At all tlie other stations, except Newark and Trenton where newspapers are delivered, there arc no stops. The train reaches Philadelphia at 7.05. Tlie Loudon Times speaks of a run from Wake field to Grantham, 71 miles, in 81 min utes. Now, our regular trains go to Schenck’s, which about the saute dis tance, in 116 minutes, stopping at 24 stasions. A direct run between the two cities could be made in 75 min utes. The London trains are very fast, and it needs all our powers to do better.” The last piece of rustic laziness en countered by out-of-town correspond cut* is that of tlie man who, being asked what oiled his eye, answered, ‘Nothin’; I shut itcoz I can sec well enough with one.

In one bay, Hartlepool, it wrecked 81 vessels. While the storm was at its height, the Rising Sun, a stout brig, struck on Longear rock, a reef ex tending a mile from one side of tlie bay. She sunk, leaving only her top masts above the foaming waves. The life-boats were away, rescuing wrecked crews. The only means of saving the men clinging to the sway ing masts was the rocket apparatus. Before it could be adjusted, one nmst fell. Just as the rocket bearing tho life line went booming out of the mortar, the other mast toppled over. Sadly the rocket-men began to draw in their line, when suddenly, they felt that something was attached to it, and in a tew minutes hauled on the beach the apparently liteless body of a sailor boy. Trained and tender hands worked, and in a short time he became conscious. Willi wild amazement, he gazed around oq the crowd of kind and sym pathizing friends. They raised him to his feet. looked up iuto the weather-beaten face of the old fisher man near him, and asked : “Where am I ?” “Thou art here, my lad.” “Where’s the Cap’n?” “Drowned, my lad.” “The mate, then ?” “He’s drowned, too.” “The crew ?’’ “They arc all lost, my lad ; thou art the only one saved.” The boy stood, overwhelmed, for a few moments; then he raised both his hands, and cried In a loud voice: “My mother’s been praying for me I My mother’s been praying for tne!” And then he dropped on his knees on the wet sand, and hid his sobbing face in his hands. Hundreds heard that day this trib ute to a mother’s love, and' to God’s faithfulness in listening to a mother’s prayers. The little fellow was taken to a house near by, and in a few days he was sent home to liis-inother’s cottage in Northumberland. A Card from Hon J L Warren. Savannah, August 18.—Editor Morning Nows: The telegraphic cor respondence between lion. W. H. Felton and Messrs. Carleton, Warren and Garrard lias given occasion to much comment in tho public prints, and lias been tho cause of mueli crit icism. No little of this is the result of the want of information os to the real facts in the case. I propose, through your paper, to give 'these facts to the public, by your permis sion. After it was painfully evident that the majority of the convention Imd despaired of nominating Gov. Col quitt under tho rules unanimously adopted, and would, failing to nomi nate him, refuse to unite with the mi nority in nominating some othe avail able man, Messrs, Carleton, Garrard and myself, alone, and in qurindtvld ual capacities, without odniinlttlugor advising with the irtfiiorUy of the convention, and not in any way rep resenting them, or r.ny one of them, but ettrsnives, sent tlie dispatch to Dr. l;>ltoii which you liavo published in your columns and commented up on. Those witli whom wcactod dur ing the convention, and with whom we acted after the convention adjourn ed without having made a nomina tion had nothing whatever to do with the matter, and so far as I am advis ed «n(l believe, had no knowledgoof the correspondence until Us publica tion.

OalflMTille Eagle ] As you well know, Itinerant inin eralogists and our own citizens have been exploring and milling for rubies and sapphires in tills comity during tlie past four years. Tlie Scquali mines, owned by W. It. McConnell, of this place, and W. G. Strubbe, of Cincinnati, Ohio, have yielded many procious opaque and translucent rubies, nearly all of which have found their way, through the late Professor Bradley and others, into the choice mineral cabinets of tlie world. Only a few were found nearly transparent of from three to four carats, and those have been set. in jewelry by tlie present owners. The proceeds aris ing from the sale of these opaque and transiuccut prisms have heretofore only paid tho expense of mining, but iu a short time a new method will be employed for wnshing these precious stones out of the alluvial soils anil grnvul adjacent to Scqiiuli creek. A few days ago Ulysses Grant Ledford, a boy eleven years old, found a large, deep blue sapphire, perfectly trans parent, in size nearly un inch square, but wedge slinpe, weighing thirty - seven anil one half carrats, the larg est ever found in America. \V. (>. Strubbe, of Cincinnati, Ohio, is now tlie owner, by purchase, of this pre cious stone, which, according to Pro fessor J. D. Dana's method ot deter mining tlie value of previous stones, is worth $51,200. Boys and girls and grown persons are searching for oth ers where this was found. The sap phire is nearly equal to the diamond in value and hardness. The largest known sapphire is in Mr. Hope’s English collection of precious stones, a crystal formerly belonging to the Jiirdin dcs Pinnies, of Paris, for which he gave $150,000. Sir Abram Hume also possesses a large crystal. The composition of a sapphire is pure alumina. Blue is the true sapphire color. When red it is an orieutnl ruby; when green an oriental emer ald ; when of other bright tints it re ceives other names. The Sir Knights Special to the Chronicle and Constitutionalist. Chicago, Aug, 17.—The parade of the Sir Knights to-day was the grand cst sight ever seen iu tho United States. The line extended six miles and the head was moving two and a half hours before the last division was started. Georgia was better rep resettled than any State south of Maryland and Tennessee, and was loudly cheered along tl.« line. The weather is warm and clear. There is a ball to-night, the greatest on record Tho formal festivities wilt close to morrow. Another dispatch says:—There are now about 100,000 people iu Chicago denouncing the Knights Templar pa rade as a shame and outrage. These are citizens and visitors who secured seats along the last part of the line of the march, and who, after silting pa tiently from 8.30 a. til., until 1 p. in., were rewarded by seeing the three local and two small State Cominan- dcrics file past. The proecsiion dwindled away with strange rapidi ty. Tho Templars accouut for their failure to carry out the programme bv saying that many of theCoinmau- ilerics went to the line this morning without a mouthful of breakfast, and between waiting and inarching, they were overcome with faintness and fa tigue, and so began dispersing nil along tho line at the sight of restau rants or lunch counters. This caused such serious numerical weakness in the ranks, Hint some Commandcries Imd hardly enough Knights loft to carry their standard, anil determined to abandon all appearance of main taining their position in tho column. In the matter of providing food and lodging for a multitude, Chicago ac knowledges tiiat this time she lias ta ken iu more than she can accommo date.
