The Weather, aud the Girin.
Friday, 2lst, betokened an inauspicious
day for the Parade of the 22d. To bo sure,
Firemen arc not afraid of water, but the
only “fire” they wish to encounter at their
semi-annual review is that issuing from the
bright eyes of their favorites—the beautiful
girls of Augusta.
At the hour of sunset (Friday), however,
we have pleasing indications of a delightful
day on the morrow, and there is very little
doubt that, at the grand parade, the rule will
be reversed—the Firemen will call out the
Belles!
The Meal Store.
The last Grand Jury want the Meal
Store (where poor people are supplied
gratuitously) abolished.
Well, we promise to aid in its abolish
ment—on one condition, to-wit, namely,
i. e„ as follows :
Let those gentlemen (there may be some
on the Grand Jury) who so nobly and em
phatically offered to take care of the fami
lies of tho Confederate soldiers, “if any
thing should happen to them,” now ap
pealing for aid as the widows and orphans
of the aforesaid soldiers, many of whom
entered the army relying upon the promises
of the gentlemen who remained at home—
we say, (/'those gentlemen will redeem their
solemn pledges in behalf of the destitute
families of the Confederate dead from
Richmond county—then we will be willing
to “ shut up the Meal Store.” Till then,
wo suggest that the fault-finders “ shut
up” themselves.
Stirring up the limbers.
When the war came to an end one of the
most distinguished Confederate Generals said
to the New York Post, of certain portions of
the South who were still full of fight, that
they had probably not been in the army
during the war. Those who fought, he
added, are ready for peace and not anxious
to fight agaiu. The justice of his remark
was generally acknowledged by the Southern
soldiers, who ridiculed the Bobadils under
the name “bombproofs.” It is to comfort
these “bombproofs,” probably, that Mr. John
Mullaly, of the New York Metropolitan Re
cord, is now lecturing in the Southern
States. He was at Augusta lately.
These persons are stirring up the embers ;
but they will scarcely be able to rekindle the
fire. It is too late for that. There is com
mon sense enough in the country, and in all
parts of it, to settle all our disputes, hence
forth, without resort to arms ; and the Mul
lalys and Chronicles are behind the age when
they recommence that old system of misrep
resentation, and “firing the Southern heart,’
which answered a very bad purpose eight
years ago, but is now, to use a common
phrase, “played out.”
“ When a man talks about anew war,
be sure he did not fight in the late one,”
said Longstreet, not long since to a friend,
and he but echoed tho opinions of most of
the Southern Generals gathered at New
Orleans. He was doubtless right. The
soldiers of both armies are at work earning
their living. It is the “ bombproofs”
whose voices are heard inciting to new vio
lence. They are perfectly safe in doing
so, for even if their efforts should bring on
anew struggle, they have, predetermined
upon the line of their retreat into Canada
or Mexico.
There are many of our Democratic
friends whom tho above remarks will suit
exactly.
Industrial Reform.
England is slow in adopting progres
sive measures, but when once she is waked
up to the necessity of reform, the work is
certain to be thoroughly done. For years
past, the most horrible stories ot tho
suffering of very young children in her
mines and factories have shocked the
civilized world, but all that state of things
is effectually remedied by a recent act of
Parliament, which contains some features
worthy the attention of our legislators in
portions of our country. It enacts that no
child under eight years of age shall be
employed in any handicraft; that no child
shall be employed over six and a half
hours a day, and these hours must be
between six a. m. and eight p. m.; that
no young person or woman shall be em
ployed over twelve hours, with inter
vening intervals for rest and meals, and
that this shall be between five a. in. aud
nine p. m.; that no child, young person,
or woman, shall be employed on Sunday,
or after two o’clock p. m. on Saturday,
except in establishments where not more
than five persons are engaged in making
or repairing articles to be sold on the
premises at retail; and that no child
under eleven shall be employed in grihd
ing, in metal work or in fustian cutting.
The “
After all that baa been said about com
pelling England to pay for the ravages of
tho Alabama among American shipping, it
is a little singular to find that Europeans,
and not Americans, will bo tho chief
claimants sot compensation when it comes
to be made. According to a statement in
the London Pall Mall Gazette, the Lon
don, Paris, Rotterdam, and Hamburg un
derwriters had large sums insured upon
the vessels destroyed, and those of Glas
gow, also, though not to so great an ex
tent. Os course, these underwriters, hav
ing paid the insurance money, will be
entitled to recctvo whatover is awarded to
the owners.
The Caltou lilng.
Anew feature, in fact quite an innovation
in the Savannah cotton market (if we may
credit the Republican of that city), is what
is technically known as “The Ring.” It is
an unknown body that has its representa
tives in commercial circles, who are chary of
acknowledging their connection with the
organization. Their mode of operation is
for each and all of the members to pick up
about the town, wherever they find a free
seller, such lots n3 meet their judgment.
They then take the samples by which they
bought,and concentrate them in the hands of
some one firm selected out of the organiza.
tion to sell, and they have offered very large
lines. To say the truth, “The Ring" has
weeded a very “wide row,’ ’ and some of the
unsuspecting have gone in and purchased
from it. Thus far, “The Ring" has been a
success; but we must say that it is not in
such “high feather” to-day as it was a fort
night ago, before their operations were un
derstood. “The Ring” has no doubt made
money, and the capitalist who furnished the
“backbone” has reaped bis reward. He is
well known to the initiated as bolstariug the
organization. And where’s the harm ? Let
a man earn an honest dollar or two. Some
say they will not sell to “The Ring,” and
some say they will not buy from it, because
of the frequent manipulation of the samples.
However, the thing is working its own end,
and we leave it to those most interested to
“inwardly digest’’ what we have written, and
make such reflections as they please.

Cohkli and Ilronchitis,
A young man, twenty-two years of age,
had a cough and hoarseness for fifteen
months. During cold weather his voice was
lost so as only to speak in whispers, pain
induced on coughing, cough dry, or raising
only a trifle in tho morning, quite feeble
and emaciated. Had taken several medi
cines, with but little or no benefit. He
commenced with Humphrey’s Cough Pills,
no 7 —one pill three times a day, and soon
founil himself improving—his cough milder
and softer, hoarseness passed off, strength
and appetite improved, and in a few weeks
was entirely well, having taken no other
medicine. feb2ltf
