The Tim.
A South Carolina Judge baa decided that
slavery was not abolished at the iote ol
President Lincoln's proclamation, but ceased
to exist when the State wae capierea.—ft*.
We know of some old-faehioned people in
Georgia who bold to tbo opinion that ala very
ceased to exist here when a certain "Consti
tutional Amendment" was ratiGed by a
State Convention.
“Honor la Whoai Honor,” Etc.
On Sunday last, ono hundred colored
persons wore baptised in Savannah River,
and received into the Springfield Baptist
Church in Augusta. The ceremony was
witnessed by over a thousand spectators—
Sat. Advertiser.
How did you find that out, brother
Ed’ard ?
important to mechanic*.
One of the principal reasons why furnaces
arc so frequently burnt out is on account of
the accumulation of ashes on the bars,
which causes them to retain the heat for a
long period. Grate bars have been gener
ally made quite broad at the surface for the
purpose of retaining the coals, but this
saving has been counterbalanced by the
extra heat which is generated, and which
destroys both the grate and the engine.
We iearu from the Charleston News, that
Mr. D. W. Davis, of that city, has recently
applied for a patent for an invention intended
to remedy this evil. He proposes to make
the bars with a feather edge, which, while it
allows the ashes to fall into the dust pan,
will prevent the grate from being burnt out.
As the grate is one of the most expensive
parts of an engine, this invention will prove
very serviceable. The bars eau be applied
to every species of grate, but would be
principally used iu steamboats, locomotives,
and stationary engines.

Corns.
It is said that the safest, the most acces
sible, and the most efficient cure of a corn
on the toe is to double a piece of thick soft
buckskin, but a hole in it large enough to
receive the corn, and bind it around the toe.
If, in addition to this, the foot is soaked in
warm water for five or more minutes every
morning and night, and a few drops of
sweet or other oily substaucc are patiently
rubbed iu on the end after the soaking, the
corn will almost infallibly become loose
enough in a few days to be easily picked
out with a finger nail; this saves the neces
sity of paring the corn, which operation has
sometimes been followed with painful and
dangerous symptoms. II the corn becomes
inconvenient airain, repeat the process.
Critical.
“Pauagham.”—A Radical paper in Geor
gia is trying to introduce this unnecessary
innovation. We do not know the advantage
of “grain” over “graph,” but would go a
degree of comparison further, and recom
mend a grammar to the editor. —Mobile
Advertiser.
Our bilious Mobile cotemporary, we fear,
has not yet got over the sulks caused by the
necessary castigation received at our hand,
a few weeks since. His manners have not
improved. We however, have no objection
to receiving from him a “grammar,” prom
ising to make good use of it, and will, for
the courtesy, send him in exchange a copy
of “Chesterfield,” which we “recommond” to
his perusal and practice.
He need not answer this parajrrans by a
teleyram.
Specie in Hie Country.
It has been computed, from official data,
that the imports of specie into the United
States, during the last seven years, amount
to $1‘25,000,000. The domestic production
for the same period is . cst'mated at $452,-
000,000. The total supply was, therefore,
$577,000,000, while exports amounted to
$393,000,009. This leaves a balance of
$181,000,000, which is supposed to show
the actual increase of specie iu the country
since 1860. No mention or estimate is
made of the amount brought in by immi
grants (not entered at the custom house
nor, on the other hand, of the sunt taken
out and not cleared by persons going abroad.
The presumption is that the former exceeds
the latter, and, if ascertained, would slightly
swell the increase.
To represent these 184 millions there are
in the Treasury and the banks 120 mil
lions, leaving 64 millions for the amount
in the hauds of the people, not de
posited in the bauks or otherwise appa
rent. It is argued, however, that before the
war we had 175 millions, and that the
increase since of 184 millions should be
added to that sum, making a total of 359
millions, as a basis for tho 750 millions of
greenbacks and national currency now in
circulation, in case of a general resumption
of specie payments. In this estimate ,no
allowance is made for the amount sent out
from the Confederacy daring the war, either
by the Confederate authorities, or by private
individuals who from their prudence or
timidity desired to pluce their funds in
safety abroad. A large part of this sum
was sent out without being cleared, and
would so far reduce'tho 175 millions pre
viously on hand. The amount consumed
by manufacturers during the same -period
should also be deducted. Perhaps, were a
fair allowance made for these and other
means of reduction, the 175 millions would
he reduced to 100, which would make the
actual supply only 284 millions.

tration are destined to prove love’s labor
lost. Don’t become excited, gentlemen.
Go home quietly, and go to sloop. As the
facetious gentleman in the barber shop very
cleverly exclaimed—“ The country’s safo.’’
Sleeping in Church.
A story -is told of a prominent hotel
keeper who fell asleep while in attendance
at church on a certain Sabbath evening.
He slept the sleep of the good man until
the moment the contribution box was
passed, when he awoke, and hurriedly
searching his pockets found a dollar bill,
which he deposited in the box. Meeting
the pastor of the church the next day, he
informed the clergyman of the cireum
stance, begged his pardon for going to sleep
during the service, but stated that the dollar
contribution was all right—it was the usual
charge tor lodging in all well regulated
establishments.
It has been suggested that hereafter the
pastors charge these cliurch-sloepers one
dollar or fifty cents each, according to the
length of the nap, for the privilege of
sleeping in church. Let the ministers have
a slip of paper near, and as fast as the con
gregation tail asleep, let their names be
taken. That there may he no dodging the
point, every man who shuts his eyes or
even one eye for more than a minute, or
keeps his head down for more than three
minutes, shall be declared asleep, and the
pustor may take his name.
At the close of the sermon then let the
minister read his list ; i
“Deacon B. went to sleep at the com
mencement of the discourse—Deacon, we
shall charge you one dollar. Please step
forward and settle at once.”
“Brother W. went to sleep at half-past
eleven, and slept till twelve o'clock—his
bill will be fifty cents.’’
“Mr. H., a member of the congregation,
kept awake until the ‘fifthly’ was reached,
and then slept fifteen minutes—charge
twenty-five cents.”
"William J., a youth, nodded all through
service—tha pastor is in doubt about his
case, but has concluded to give him the
benefit of the doubt to the extent of ten
cents—Willie or his pa will please hand up
ninety cents.”
The question of how much babies should
pay would prove a little more difficult.
Babies, if they slept quietly through the
whole service, might be charged only five
cents a head, but if they waked and clawed
around and cried, and made a general fuss,
they should undoubtedly be charged extra—
say a dollar and a half each.
As the sisters would not like to have their
names read publicly, the pastor might
arrange to meet them in the church parlor
after service when they could quietly settle
their bills. We have but little doubt that
tho above method would supply mos*
churches with their winter’s supply of coali
besides contributing quite an amount to
tho poor fund.
The Grant Movement.—At a meeting of
Post No.—, Grand Army of the Republic,
in Washington, on the 3d, resolutions were

Grant for President, ignoring all political
organizations, and calling a National Con

Railroad Troubles.—The Nashville and
Chattanooga Railroad muddle is being
again' stirred up. It now comes in the
shape of a bill in chancery filed by Messrs.
E. W. Cole, Joseph E. Brown, Ben May,
and John P, King, of Georgia; Henry
Cobia and Edward Willis, of Charleston,

A clergyman, aged forty-two, had long
suffered with Catarrh, which had not oidy
been a source ot annoyance, but began to

from the head, frequent sneezing, and an
almost entire loss of smell. Ho procured a
