Suit.
Winter ban come, and the time for game
has arrived with it. Wc love to play al
games very much; but there is a gome
called Partridge, which is played by the help
of a gridiron, a fire, a plate, knife and fork—
which we like the best of all winter evening
amusements. A game of Partridge is a kind
of solitaire ; it might be played by two, but
only one can have a real, good, solid time
playiug it, and it is the only way we ever
allow ourselves to frequent the gaming tablo.
Pardoned by the President.
Wm. McMahan, a native of Greenville
District, S. C., who was convicted previous
to the war, aud on trial before Judge
Msgrath, of embezzlement of moneys from
the postoffice at Greenville, and sentenced
to ten years’ imprisonment, has received an
unconditional pardon from President John
seii. The prisouor, during the war, effected
his escape from jail, bat was recently recap
tured aud recommitted to jail in Greenville
to servo out the balance of the term of
imprisonment for which he was sentenced.
The Trade of Mew York.
The total trade returns of the port of New
Tork for 1807 are published. During 1807

Cake*Sland«.
The “cake stand” is an institution of the
city. From time immemorial, aged colored
women have vended gingor-cakes, pea-nuts
and apples on the corners and thorough
fares of the larger cities, and Augusta can
now claim her fair proportion of these little
floating stocks, in whiek is, perhaps, in
vested all that the poor Cake-woman has of
earthly goods. Let us feel kindly towards
these old women. Their occupation teaches
a lesson of trial and poverty, and shows
that Kfo is but one continuous struggle
against adversity. The earnings of the
little Cake-Stand are small; but, perchance,
they hush the cry of many little children
for bread, and enable the old woman who
sits behind it, with her sewing, from day
to day, to live without appealing to the deaf
ear of earthly charity.
The “Conservative” Resolve-
At a large and enthusiastic meeting of
the “Conservatives” of this city, held on
the evening of the 4th instant, Mr. A.
Kanse Wright editor of the Chronicle d?
Sentinel (Obstructionist), offered the follow
ing Resolution, which received only one
Black ball:
“ liesolved, That from the past history and
exemplary character as a gentleman and
an officer of Major General GEORGE G.
MEADE, we bcliovo that be will, in the
disharge of the difficult duties which de.
volve upon him as Military Commander of
District No. .3, so administer the laws which
he is sent to execute as to render fair play
and equal justice to all classes of our people,
and to that end we tender to him, in advance
the assurance that, to the best of our ability,
we will sustain and support him in his now
and trying position.”
Gold and Silver Product-
Official figures, from the Pacific slope,
show a steady increase in the production of
the precious metals. The mint at Sau
Francisco received in silver, in November
last, 60-,860 ounces, against 59,797 ounces in
October, 34,998 ounces in September, and
54,997 ounces in August. The increase
promises to be regular and constant.
Os gold, the receipts for eleven months,
to the first of December, 1867, wera 950,-
717.03 ounces, against 913,068.75 ounces ior
the same period in 1806. The coinage for
the same time was in 1807, $18,195,535, and
in 1860, $10,140,500, showing an increase of
$,049,035..
Thus not only are our gold and silver
increasing all the while, but the rate of
increase is accelerating. When the Pacific
Railroad penetrates a couple of miles further,
the production will be very much greater.
Encourage Home Industry.
We are glad to see so many of our young
men steadily applying themselves to me
chanical occupations, believing that it
argues well for the success of our country,
and we hope that every citizen will feel it his
duty to encourage home manufactures when
ever in his power, Tbe labors of the me
chanic should always meet with this encour
agement. It incites them to industry, and
aids greatly in securing that genial good
fellowship which induces man to help his
fellow man. Live and let live, is a capital
motto that should be especially remembered
at this time, and those who receive business
favors in tho way of patronage are very apt
to return them in some shape or other. Soon,
very soon, we hope, business will receive a
new impetus, and by honest industry and
fair dealing, our city will, we trust, become
at no distant date as lively and prosperous
as in her best days.
Wanted—Uiidly.
A Board of Trade, in Augusta—and
active, intelligent gentlemen to compose it,
Wisdom is of little value to public affairs
wben it is so old and decrepid that it has
neither interest in busy life nor energy
enough to take part in the actions of the
day. Ob, for a Board—a Board of men In
the prime of life, with good judgments,
quick intellects, and great energy, who will
take upon themselves its responsible duties.
They should by all means be friends of
improvement, advocates of every measure
which can add to the growth and prosperity
of Augusta—live men, full of energy, and
endowed with far-seeing sagacity, so that
they may be, as it were, the eyes of the city,
discerning danger on the one hand aud
discovering the way to improvement and
prosperity on the other. Such a Board
would he worth having—it would bo invalu
able.

Chronic Cough and Threatened Con
sumption.
A married gentleman, aged thirty three, had
suffered from a cough for six months; to
such an extent as justly to excite the most
serious apprehensions on the part of his
friends. Ilis cough was frequent, attended
with pain in 1# side, shortness of breath
loss of flesh, pale, sunken face, and at times
fever. AH the remedies he bad tried had
not availed to meet his case, or even relieve
his cough. He took one box of Humph
reys’ Cough Pills No. 7 without experiencing
but moderate relief; and, on consulting
Prof. Humphreys, was advised to use the
fever pills in alternation with the Cough
Pills. He did so, taking three or four pills
per day, and found immediate relief, and in
three weeks considered himself entirely well,
having regained his strength and vigor, and
being free from his cough. f

Ilomccpatliic Insurance.
We see that a charter has been obtained
in New York, for Homiaopathiu Mutual Life
Insurance Company, tbo books of which will
be opened for subscription on the 27th of
this month at the Tenth National Bank.
The principal peculiarity of this new
enterprise is that the lives of those who
adopt the homoeopathic treatment of diseases
are insured at “judicially reduced rates” in
comparison with those who are treated in
the old manner. The gentlemen who are
engaged in getting up this company give, by
adopting this feature, a very decided proof
of their conviction that the homoeopathic
method is the safest aud most efficacious.
It remains to be seen whether the allopathic
school will get up a rival institution.
The capital stock of the company will be
two hundred thousand dollars. It is to be
paid in cash and invested in State securities.
The stockholders are to receive seven per
cent, interest, payable in gold. The enter
prise is recommended in a circular by some
of our ablest homueopatliic practitioners. x
