FICtIM. Tbe Saturday Review says that tho number of ladioa who id modern fiction have dismissed their lovers with a cold, haughty carve of their lips, and then rushed up violently and buried their faoca in the bod clothes, is legion. It is uot too much to aay that they oil do it. There is scarcely a pair of loveis out, in any fooling magazine, who can be said to bo always on speaking terms. They are forever passing each other in the street with a haughty bow, and turning away sharply and suddenly to conceal their internal anguish. Css re for FrssM Llmti. Wo are informed on good authority, that nothing is better for withdrawing the frost without injury to frozen cars, cheeks and fiugers, than tbe immediate application of kerosene —rubbing it on gently a few times. In one instance both cheeks were frozen, and this remedy produced immediate relief without tho usual inflammation. The same person repeated the application at another time with equal success In another case the remedy was applied to a badly frozen ear, whieh, as in the other instances, it cured without inflammation. It is indis’ pensable that the application be made before thawing. This remedy is the more valuable because it is always at hand in every house. Dotccilnir Flam in Iron. An English mechauic named Sarboy is said to have solved a problem which so long foiled the efforts of engineers and sci entific men. in discovering a certain means of detecting the alteration in the texture of iron, or cracks or minute defects, invisi ble to the eye, which have been a fruitful cause of the breaking of railway axles and other machinery. Mr. Sarboy, it is said, has found that when an iron bar is homo geneous, the magnetic needle will not be suddenly displaced from its position on being slowly moved to and fro in a direc tion perpendicular to tbo magnetic merid ian of tbe locality ; but if there be in tbe bar any unsound place, a fault or flaw, the oscillations of the needle will become very intense as it passes over these defective points. In view of the less of life and property resulting from flaws in the iron work of machinery, the discovery of such a test of iron must prove of great value. Warming Uuitroad Cars. A bill is before the Pennsylvania Logis' laturc, making it unlawful for any Railroad Company in that State to warm its cars with stoves heated with coal, wood, or any inflammable matter, but to keep them warm by some means that will not occasion fire in case of accident. If any stove heated with coal or wood shall be used thirty days after the paasage of this act, the conductor, engineer, president and secretary of the company shall, on convic tion in any county through which the cars run, be fined not exceeding SI,OOO. If any passengers shall be burned to death or killed in consequence of a car being warmed in violation of this act, the con ductor shall be prosecuted for manslaughter, and if convicted ho shall b« imprisoned not exceeding ten years. No petroleum or oil shall be used to light cars. Shopping Incident, A day or two since, a young man from the rural districts stepped into a dry goods store, to purchase a present for a lady friend, and, after looking around for several minutes, espied the coveted object he was after. Placing his eyes intently on the article for some time, with a pleased satis faction that it would be just the thing for his ‘‘adored,” he politely inquired the price of those “ladies’neck ties!” The modest and gentlemanly proprietor was not a little nonplussed, for there was a lady or two at the counter, but he gave him the price, and the young man concluded the purchase of a magnificent pair of “ elastics ” for ladies’ use, which he had mistaken for “neck ties.” When he makes his presentation speech, and hands his “intended” tho beautiful and costly article, our opinion is that salts of ammonia and burnt feathers will be in demand, and, after recovering, that a mar riage contract will be annulled. Declines. Judge Andrews, of Wilkes, has written a letter to the Atlanta Opinion, in which he declines to run as a Radical candidate for Governor —not because be disagrees with that party, but because other gentlemen (?) spoken of for the office are “more compe tent The reason is a good one, and the Judge should be excused. This reminds us of an anecdote told on the Judge during his canvass for gubernato rial honors in 1855, as the candidate for tlie Knew Nothings. In one of his harangues to the sovereigns—we think it was in War renton —he alluded to the fact that he had very reluctantly complied with the wishes of his party in becoming a candidate ; that he did not wish the position ; that it had been forced upon him ; and, warming with tbe subject, he exclaimed, in the meekest and most persecuted air imaginable : “The truth is, gentlemen, gubernatorial honors have been annoying and pursuing me for twenty years.” Just then a tall, gawky, rawbone son of toil, with most provoking coolness, cried out, “Well, old fellow, you are gaining mightily on her now, I can tell you.” The effect of this reply can bo better imagined than described.— Chronicle <£• Sentinel. This reminds us of an anecdote told on the Ex-Governor “East of the Oconee,” (previous to his ass-umption of Gubernatorial honors in 1865, before he was done brown), aud when he was canvassing for the Know Nothings. In one of his harangues to the sovereigns—it may have been in Warren ton—be alluded with characteristic men dacity to the position of a Mr. Bon Toomus, and, warming with the subject, was blowing and sputtering at a great rate. Just then a tall, gawky, rawbone son of toil, approached the ranter, and, with most provoking cool ness, informed the gallant Know Nothing that “You are a d—d liar I” The effect of this reply can be very well imagined by those who know the distinguished fighting man—he turned as pale as if a spider had bitten him, and was speechless. Burned to Death. We aro informed by Mr. John S. Jackson that four negro children wero burned to death on his place a few dftys ago. Their mothers locked them up in their cabin and went off to work, when the house caught fire and was destroyed before assistance could be rendered. —Greensboro lleratd. ——l- .. . JiL-TT n* Two P»H«<«»t Tba policy of Um Administration seem* to be to rMtorn tbe unity of the oountry by annexing the United States to tbo robel States, subordinating loyalry to disloyalty, and reestablishing the sway of tbo old slavemiMtcr. Tbo policy of tho Republican party ia, and will continue to be, to anuex the rebel States to the United States, to subordinate disloyalty to loyalty, and to pnt the government of those States and the oonntry into tho keeping of a patriotic and liberty-loving people. Issaaranco Against Had Debts. Insnrnnco of many kinds is now familiar to ns. yet in St. Louis they aro anxious to get up n company to insure against lad debts. The scheme proposed form what may be called a “Guaranty L:fo In surance Company,” with tho object ol insuring all who may enter into the com bination against loss from sales made on time. Upon the formation of such a com pany, tho Directors should agree upon the rates to be charged for guaranteeing cer tain classes of debts, say thirty and ninety day bills, or sales at six months, as also the rates to ho charged for guaranteeing number one debts and those of other grades. It looks well on paper. triad. The dignified and “respectable” organ,up street, is mad. In publishing the commu nication from Gen. Meade’s headquarters, yesterday, Mr. Chronicle lost his temper and “made mouths” at the gentlemen who composed the board of investigation. lie expresses die opinion that the two officers chosen by the Commander of this District, to investigate the charges against the Mayor and Council, are “weak, inexpe rienced, and bitter partisans.” He also declares that “one, at least, of the exam ining board came here strongly preju diced in favor of the Mayor and Council, and bitter in liis feelings against the respectable citizens of Augusta.” He calls the two Captains “shoulder straps,” and, in short, is very mad about it—probably because those shrewd gentlemen, when in our city, would not permit him to repeat die trick he accomplished once (when he wore “shoulder straps,” at Norfolk, you know) in an onslaught against his very dear friend, the present Chief Magistrate of Augusta. The miserable abortive attempt to “do something” against tho “Military Mayor and Council” is understood by tho public, and vve are content to leave the record with those who are most interested in the faithful administration of the city govern ment. Though we are sorry the Chronicle is mad about it. A Cure lor Neuralgic Hcadnciici, Face* aches and Toothaches. About ten years since I was laid up with an excruciating neuralgic headache, which seemed to encircle the ear of that side of the head alone affected. The idea that the headache had something to do with the ear as a centre occurred to me, although, in tho ear itself, there was no pain. I had a little almond oil, and also spirits, dropped into the ear, but without any good effect; when the thought suggested itself that perhaps a little of tho anesthetic ether (not the nitric) might do good, by deadening the nervous pain I had some drops of rectified sulphuric ether, therefore, put into the ear; and in course of half an hour my head-ache was entirely gone. I have since found, both from my own occa sional experience, and that of others, that ether, so applied, is in nearly all cases an effectual cure of these very painful head-aches, face-aches, jaw-aches and tooth-aches, which are commonly known as neuralgic and rheumatic. If a very severe case, two or three days may elapse, during which the pain may be apt to recur, especially from new and even slight ex posure to draughts, but repeated applica tion of half dozen drops, or less, of ether at the time, seems certain to subdue the most violent attack, sometimes in a very few minutes. A drop or two of almond or olive oil, afterwards put into the ear, I have thought, tended to protect from a new attack. As the ether sometimes gives pain in the car for a moment while being applied, a single drop should, first of all, be carefully pnt in, and then more, as the case will allow, hut I have never suffered the least bad effect, either in my hearing or otherwise, from tho uso of ether in this way, nor have I heard of any from others who have tried it at my recommendation. lleßulaliouH for Lenl. Ash AYednesday, the first day of Lent, falls on the 26th day of February. The Most Reverend Archbishop) Spalding has issued the following regulations to be observed in liis Diocese during the season of Lent: 1. All the faithful who have completed tlicir twenty-first year are, unless legiti mately dispensed, bound to observe tlie fast of Lent. 2. They are to make only one meal a day, excepting Sundays. 8. The meal allowed oil fust days is not to be taken till about noon. 4. At that meal, if on any day permis sion should be granted for* eating flesh, both flesh and fish are not robe used at the same time, even by way of seasoning. 5. A small refreshment, commonly called collation, is allowed in the evening; no general rule as to the quantity of food permitted at this time is or can be made. But the practice of the most regular Chris tian is, never to let it exceed the fourth part of an ordinary meal. 6. The quality of food allowed at a collation is, in this Diocese, bread, butter, cheese, all kinds of fruits, salads, vegeta bles, and fish; milk and eggs are pro hibited. 7. General usage lias made it lawful to drink'in the morning some warm liquid, as tea, coffee, or thin chocolate, made with water. 8. Necessity and custom have authorized the use of liog’s lard instead of butter in preparing fish, vegetables, etc. 9. The following persons arc exempted front the obligations of fasting: Young persons under twenty-one years of age; the sick; nursing women; those who arc obliged to do bord labor; all who, througli weakness, can not fast witlioutgroat preju dice to tlicir health. 10. By dispensation, the use of flesh meat will lie allowed at any time on Sun day, and one© a day on Mondays, Tues day*, Thursdays, anti Saturdays, with the exception of Holy Thursday and tho second and last Saturdays of Lent. 11. Persons dispensed from the obliga tion of fasting, on account of tender or advanced age, or hard labor, arc uot bound by the restriction of using meat only at one meal on days on which its use is granted by dispensation. Others dis pensed from the fast for other causes, as well as those who are obliged to fast, arc permitted to use meat at only one meal. Argument (or abort Skirts. They give plain girls a chance. What na ture has denied tho face she often gives to the understanding. Tobacco. The Ways and Means Committee of Congress has concluded to fix the tax upon chewing and smoking tobocco at tliirty-two cents per pound, a reduction of eight cents from the existing impost. The tobacco is to be made up for retail in one and two ounce packages, and upon each package is to be pluced the neces snry one or two cents stamp, and without this stamp the tobacco will be subject to seizure and forfeiture. John S, Vcrdery. The many friends of Mr. John S. Veii dery, in this city, who was injured by being crushed between cars on the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, about three weeks since, will regret to learn that he is in a hopeless condition. His physician at first thought that they could avoid amputation of the wounded member, but afterwards were compelled to resort to the knife. Tho wounds sloughed, gangrene and mortifica tion ensued, and on Tuesday Mr. Verdery was seized with lockjaw and spasms, and is now very low, and not expected to sur vivo much longer. Klules Exchanged for Jewelry. A Kentucky stock raiser passed througli Nashville a day or two since, literally loaded down with gold watches and every description of jewelry, which he had obtained in Georgia* and Alabama, in exchange for 160 head of mules which he took South. In the absence of currency, many people of that section, says the Banner, found it necessary, in order to procure farm animals, to part with what few valuables the war had left them.— Montgomery Mi il. I« tho War Over ? We clip the following from the Macon Journal and Messenger, of the 12th instant : “We regret, but are not astonished to see the name of General Longstreet among the list of those repentant “ rebels” who are on their knees before tho conspirators at Washington, asking relief from disa bility, growing out of participation in the late “ rebellion.” It appears, very appro priately, sandwiched between those of Patton and Holden ! We dare to hope, though, that the position is one that fills every surviving soldier of the old “ First Corps, A. N. V.’ with shatnj and loathing unutterable, and that if it were possible to vitalize the honored bones of those who died in that command, under his leader ship, and for principles that he now spurns and spits upon, they would rise from the grave and shame him back to the path of duty. Will these scalawags, bummers, and niggers who constitute his party in Louisi ana send him to the Senate ? We trust so. It oulv remains for such a consummation to show to the world, and to the rising generation, especially, how utterly bank rupt every man is, no matter what his personal attributes, if he he not loyal to the Right and faithful to fixed principles.” AUGUSTA MARKETS.

It passed by a vote of 125 to 12. The Convention adopted seven sec tions ol the Legislative Committee’s report. The Governor and Senators to he elected for four years. VIRGINIA. Richmond, February 14. —In the Con vention to-day, the Judiciary Committee reported in favor of exempting property to the value of twelve hundred dollars from seizure of debts contracted after the ratifi cation of tho Constitution. A resolution prohibiting ministers, bank officers, and prosecuting attorneys, from being members of the Legislature, was tabled. FLORIDA. Tallahassee, February 14.— The ex citement among the delegates has been intense for the past four hours, and there are serious apprehensions of a collision between the Billings faction and the ma jority. The former hold a negro meeting to niglit, and through the civil authorities the military are protecting the Capitol from the possibility of any violent deraonstra. tion. The Convention had 28 members present to-day. A Bill of Rights was adopted declaring equal rights to all men, and incorporating provisions of the Vermont and Missouri constitutions—legislative, judicial, and ad ministrative. The articles adopted arc: All Judges appointive to the Supreme Court for life; circuit judge, eight years; county sheriffs, clerks of court, and appointive constables, to be elected by the people. The State officers to be appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate, consists of the Secretary of State, Attor ney General, Comptroller of the Treasury, Surveyor General, Superintendent of Edu cation, Adjutant General, and Commis sioner of Immigration. The Bill of Rights declares the State shall ever remain a member of the Ameri can Union, and tlie people a part of the American. The National Legislative article estab lishes a uniform legislation. An ordinance was passed to repeal the unequal taxation, respecting the school tax on freed men. Butler was admitted ns a delegate from the first district, and George Walker de clared ineligible because he was a judge of election. It was declared in the case of Butler, that it has full plenary powers, and is absolute and supreme in judging of the qualification of its members. A minority of the members generally absent themselves from the proceedings; and it is understood here that but little confidence is felt in the prospect of the acceptance of their Constitution by Gen. Meade. LOUISIANA. New Orleans, February 14.—The Con vention yesterday adopted a resolution ask ing for tlie appointment of General Mower to command the sth District, in case Han cock is removed. It was amended to sub stitute Gen. Sheridan for Mower Adjourned till Monday. TEXAS.

Washington Items. Washington, February 14.—The Gov ernment is pushing its claims against the Confederate agents abroad. Some seven million- dollars worth of property has been attached in France. Claims against Mr. Mcßae approximate twelve million dollars. He also sold twenty six ships to various parties, proceedings against whom are ahout being instituted. The Treasury Department suggests that seven-thirty bonds, due loth June and July, amounting to two huudred millious, be promptly forwarded, otherwise seven thirties are eouvertable. The President has pardoned Commodore Farran, who commanded at the Pensacola Navy Yard, but resigned to join the Con federacy. Tlie Whiskey Tax, from 1808 to 1867, has averaged twenty-seven millions per annum. An official proclamation was issued to day creating anew military division of the Atlantic, comprising Department of the Lakes East and Washington, com manded by Gen. Sherman, with head quarters at Washington. The President orders Grant to make no permanent assignment for the Division of Missouri. Grant assigns Sheridan to the temporary command of the Division of Missouri. Gen. Lorenzo Thomas has been assigned to duty as Adjutant General of the Army, relieving Gen. Townsend, who has been acting since 1862. Indications are strong that Senator Thomas will be rejected. Destructive Fire. Wilmington, N. C., February 13.— A number of persons were buried beneath the ruins of the falling wall at the fire, at day light, this morning. One white and four negroes, firemen, have thus far been taken from the ruins, in a mangled condition. It is thought all will die.
