PIMMBI,
Our pcoplo seem to bo enjoying the
pleasant weather vouchsafed to us, aud
determined to make the most of it. Among
other pleasant recreations, wo must mention
the excursion, yesterday, of “The Ladies
Aquatic Club,’’ on fishing thoughts intent,
and our regret that business of a l'ress-ing
nature precluded us from accepting tho kind
invitation to make one of tho paity. Hid
they catch anything?
The Work House.
Wo are glad to know that the construc
tion of the Public Work House has at last
been commenced, and hope tho authorities
will hurry tho contractors. The Work House
has long been needed, for the punishment
of violators of the law. To the majority of
such, the “Chain Hang” (so called) lias no
terrors —it is, in plain parlance, a humbug.
When the Work House (near the Canal)
shall have been completed, and criminals
are made to icurk, we opine that it will have
a happy ell'ect. Breaking stone, under
surveillauee, will prove to be something
different tlmu the present kind of labor (?)
required of those enrolled upon the list of
street workers.
A \ice *t ucslleu.
Suppose a man owns a batteau : he
fastens it to tho shore at the foot of Mc-
Intosh street, with a rope made ol straw ;
along comes a pig and gets into the boat—
turns round and eats tho rope ; the boat
thus let loose, with tho pig on board, starts
down stream, and before it gets to Kirk
patrick’s Bend the boat is upset and piggy
is drowned. Now, has the man that owns
the pig got to pay for the boat, or the man
that owns the boat got to pay for the pig?
A Wile Worth Unving.
A man who was amusing himself bv
visiting tho several grog shops, and was
rapidly getting into an obfusticated condi
tion, was followed by his devoted wife, who
at one ot the places persuaded him to
deposit with her his pocket hook, containing
si>2s. Subsequently missing his money,
and his condition rendering him oblivious
to all that had passed, lie complained at tho
police station that he had been robbed at
some one of the eight or nine places lie had
visited. His wife was probably the means
of saving that amount to him.
The Very Latent.
Anew fashion, which was started at
Madam do Rothschild’s ball in Paris, is the
adoption of garlands of flowers instead of
microscopic hits of green stuck in false
hair. Natural flowers are preferred, and
these are kept fresh all the evening b y
quills being filled with lresh water and
sealed at both ends.
The “Ophelia bonnet,” which came out
recently in Paris, is a pale, delicate green
drapery made of erystalized tulle, and
forms a scarf fanchon. Nothing hat sea
green leaves and white water lilies or lake
flowerets are seen behind, trailing in long
curls. Plenty of flounces on very light silk
and plenty of Valenciennes are the newest
trimmings.
Improvement in Cemeteries.
In some cemeteries of the country an
improvement has been suggested and car -
ried out, which we present for the consider
ation of owners ol lots in our beautiful City
of the Dead. The improvement is what is
termed the lawn plan. It contemplates the
exclusion of mounds over graves aud of
railings and fences around lots, and thus
securing for the whole grounds a more
pleasant uniformity. The boundary lines
of lots are indicated by small stone posts
which do not appear above the surface.
The natural beauty of the landscape is thus
preserved and a heavy expense is saved
friends who sometimes exceed their means
in adorning lots, and whose taste is often
times not equal to their means. A .-ingle
monument is allowed upon each lot. The
appearance ol such a lawn cemetery is said
to be much more pleasant and attractive to
friends than the old plan of strict, selfish,
chains aud posts, painted black and painted
brown, and oftentimes nut painted at all.
Death brings all to a common level and no
more beautiful, appropriate and simple
adornment, can better exemplify this idea
than that which nature furuishos and which
could only be secured by a large, well kept,
uniform lawn. The simple monuments
rising from these graves, iu connection with
the beauty of nature, would be more beau
tiful, less suggestive of vulgar extravagance
aud display, more in consonance with cul
ture and refinement than the present
method of honoring the dead. We will
listen to a change upon any practice in life
sooner than upon this. We have a tender
regard for the dead and the places where
they are buried that directs tho innovation
of new customs. When they are suggested
we almost regard them as sacrilegious. Hut
when we remember that this is but to
beautify but to render more tender and
dear and pleasant those cherished memories
—but to surround our graves with nature's
own simple and yet matchless beauty and
elegance, the change is not disagreeable
but very much to be desired.
The Local Hint I lie Lecturer.
The following story may have been told
before, Imt will bear n pealing over, as it
will probably be appreciated by all who arc
keen enough to Hoe the point. It is in two
parts, the first being entitled “What the
Local said to the Lecturer” :
The lecture last evening was a brilliant
affair. The hall ought to have been filled.
We are sorry lo say only forty persons
were present. The speaker commenced by
saying that he was by birth an ecclesiastical
deduction ; gave a learned description of the
devil, and his skill iu sawing trees. Among
other things, he stated that the patriarch
Abraham taught Oecrops arithmetic. Wc
trust the eloquent divine may he induced to
repeat the lecture at some luliire day.
Part Second—“ What the Lecturer said of
tho Local" :
Deak Sin In n report of my lecture in
our bcautiluly city, you have made some few
mistakes which 1 "wish to correct. You
make me speak of myseli as by birth an
“ecclesiastical deduction.” What I said
was, that 1 was not by birth, hut only eccle
siastically a Dutchman. Instead of speaking
of the devil as sawing trees, 1 uaid nothing
ol Abraham, but spoke of the Arabians an
nomads ol patriarch simplicity. 1 said that
Oecrops was the founder oi Athens ami
instructed the people iu agriculture.

| From the Circular ol Win. Bryce & Cos.
New York Cotton Review.
Nkw York, May 29, 18I1S.
Our last Circular reviewed the market to tho
22d illat., when wo quoted Middlings at 31c in
this market, and llld. in Liverpool, both mar
kets quiet and steady. On Saturday, the Cable
reported Liverpool more active at 11 pi., the
sales footing up 10,000 bales. Our market
remained steady at previous quotatious, but
with littlo doing. On Monday, Liverpool was
dull—sales, 7,000 hales. This market was dull
and heavy, and nominally jo. lower. Tho busi
ness was too small to make any quotations
reliable. On Tuesday, Liverpool closed at lljd.,
with sales of 4,000 bales. The market here was
again lower, 30c. being tho quotation for Mid
dling, hut there were hardly any sellers oven on
that basis, whoro the grade itself was not to be
had. Wednesday was a counterpart of Tuosday,
buyers anti sellers, both hero and Liverpool,
sieming equally indifferent ; in the latter mar
ket, 11 id. was the nominal quotation. On
Thursday, tho Liverpool market advanced id.,
with much more duiug, tho sales reaching 10,000
halos. Prices hero went up fully lc., and a fair
business of 3,700 hales was done on that basis.
To-day, the market has boon steady at tho
improvement of yesterday, hut with loss doing.
('able advices since our last have come regu
larly to hand, and prices ou tho othor rido have
varied about id., with a very small business.
The sales of tho week foot up 37,000 bales, of
which 27,900 went to tho trado, 6,000 to ox
porters, 4,000 to speculators. Tho stock in port
foots up 620,000 bales, of which 363,000 aro
American. The Cotton afloat aggregates 512,009
bales, of which 90.000 aro from this country.
Cur own market for tho week under review,
has been rather irregular, hut closes at about
tho figures of last week. The decline made
during tho week was only on forced lots, aud at
the low quotations of Tuesday and Wednesday,
it would have been impossible to have oxocuted
any order of any magnitude. On the oilier hand
the demand has hcoii so limited that on a pe
remptory order to sell it would have been difficult
to obtain oven quoted price-'. Tho character of
the market has boon obstinate, both holders and
sellers so confident of their positions that busi
ness bus been almost impossible. At the close,
buyers have yielded to sotuo extent, and quota
tions liavo correspondingly improved, although
the majority of the stock hero is held for much
higher figures than we quote. Fino Cotton i have
disappeared from the boards, and wo omit quo
tations; we might also quote Middlings as nomi
nal, for there is hardly any of it in the market,
and what is on the hoards is mostly held for 350.
Tho bulk of the stock is Good Ordinary to Low
Middling, and very littlo of it what is known as
good spinning Cotton. For good strong stupled
varieties there will boa large difference in price
before the season is over. Our spinners havo
purchased but a very limited amount during the
week, and exporters havo done littlo or nothing.
Speculators havo been timorous, looking in vain
for an export or spinning support, without which
speculation is never any aid to tho market. The
bears have hammered prices with great perse
verance, but tho last turn of the market has
disturbed their calculations. Sterling and Gold
have both been steady, but, in the present posi
tion of tbc staple, tbeir influence will bo very
slight for tho rest of tho season
The weather in Europe continues to bo vory
favorably for tbc Cereal crops and tbc iuevitabio
consequence is a largo homo trado for both Great
Britain ami tho U- ntin-nt. Tho exports from
Great Britain to the Continental ports bid fair to
lie very heavy, for tho stocks in all theso ports
aro low, and England i.- the only market whence
they run draw supplies before our new crop
comes in. Last season from May toOetoocr Ist,
tho exports from Grea' Britain oxeco l 26,000
bales weekly, and this year, inasmuch as we havo
little ur nothing to send from this country, the
amount purchased iu England lor foreign account
will bo fully is great as last year. The question
of trade in Liverpool, is of course conjectured,
but unless some unexpected supplies appear, the
rate of 48,000 bales weekly must, bo reduced.
Their source us supply is India, and that, varie
ty is 157,000 bales less than last year at same
time. U last dates tonnage on tho berth at
Bombay available for Europe was double the
amount in 1867 at same tiino.
Accounts from the South arc of the sumo char
acter as mentioned in lite circulars. Rumors

cold nights prevcntthegruwth of thoyoung plant
and iu some cases necessitates replanting. Cot
ton is fully two weeks behind last year in the

IC. K. IC. ICadw.iy’s Ready Relief.
Is the cheapest and best family medicine
in the world. The moment it is used, pain
ceases. It cures rheumatism, neuralgia,
bilious cholic, and inflammation of tho kid
neys,almost instantly. If seized with sudden
colds, coughs, influenza, dipthcria, hoarse
ness, sore throat, chills, fever and ague,
mercurial pains, scarlet fever, etc., etc.,
take from four to six of Radway’s Fills, and
also take a teaspoonful of the Ready Relief
in a glass of warm water, sweetened with
sugar or honey ; bathe the throat, head and
chest with Ready Relief, (if ague or inter
mittent fever, bathe tho spine also), in tho
morning you will he cured.
How the Relief acts.—ln a few minutes
the patient will feel a slight tinging irrita
tion, and the skin becomes reddened ; if
there is much distress in tho stomach, the
Relief will assist nature in removing the
offending cause—a general warmth is felt
throughout the entire body, and its diffusive
stimulating properties rapidly courses
through every vein and tissue of the system,
arousing the slothful aud partially paraly
zed glands and organs to renewed and
healthy action ; perspiration follows, and
the body feels increased heat. The sickness
at stomach, colds, chills, headache, oppress
ed breathing, the soreness of the throat, and
all pains, either internally or externally,
rapidly subside, and the patient falls into a
tranquil sleep, awakes refreshed, invigor
ated, cured.
It will be found that in using the Relief
externally, cither ou tho spine or across
the kidneys, or over the stomach and bowels,
that for several days after a pleasing
warmth will be felt, showing the length of
time it continues its influence over the
diseased parts.
Price of R. R. R. Relief, 50 cents per
bottle. Sold by druggists and country
merchants, grocers, etc.

Washington** June 3.—The Judiciary
Commiltee’s amendments to the House Om
nibus Admission bill adds Florida and
excludes Alabama, ’l lic fundamental con
dition is that there will never be any
abridgement of suffrage on account of race
or color ; and in Georgia’s case, in addition,
the nullification of tbc first and third sub
divisions of section 17 of tlie fifth article
of the Constitution, except the proviso to
the first sub-division. [See articles on
second page.j
The Legislature may be convened, within
thirty days after the passage ol the act, by
the Governor elect.
It is prerequisite that the State Legisla
tures adopt the fourteenth amendment,
which fact it is the duty of the President to
proclaim within ten days after official
notification of its adoption.
[second dispatch.)
Washington, Juno 3.- -Ways and Means
Committee have agreed to postpone action
on the tariff until next session. Special
action on some articles will not be touched
this session.
The Printers’ Union called on the Presi
dent to and qv, who said : “I consider it a nobler
distinction to wear upon my garments the
tinge of the shop and the dust of the field,
than all the insignia that may attach from
victories won on the fields cumbered with
crushed and bleeding humanity. Tin- aris
tocracy of labor is true Democracy, and to
that aristocracy 1 belong.”
A telegram in the Herald , professing to
originate with a person enjoying intimate
relations with Chase, represents that Chase
would only accept the nomination when the
nation was in the utmost peril, and not then
at the sacrifice of his honest convictions.
Admits that tho Radical party and himself
differ widely, aud as parties aro now organ
ized he is with the Democratic party. He
differs from them only on one point—that of
universal manhood suffrage—and agrees
with them on all other great issues, and if
elected by that party would certainly carry
out their policy. The deplorable condition
of the Southern States demands proper Con
gressional consideration, and also material
aid from the general government. There is
no constitutional authority for holding the
Southern States in subjection. It is alike
unwise and unjust. Favors enfranchise
ment and removal of political disabilities
from every white man in the South. Thinks
freedom and manhood suffrage are unques
tioned rights, but controverts any other
power than tho States themselves to confer
the right, the General Government having
no control over the matter. Opposes po
litical disabilities imposed by the fourteenth
article. Proposes general amnesty as a
relief, and regards it as absolutely neces
sary Urges liberal aid to Southern rail
roads and navigable rivers. Thinks the
Government should build levees from Cairo
to the Gulf. Urges early return to specie
payment. Condemns, in strong terms, the
trial of citizens by military commissions
during peace. Hopes if Johnson reorgan
izes the Cabinet lie will appoint a due
proportion from the Southern Slates. Re
plying to a question, Chase said Congress
had no power to abridgo tho President’s
pardoning power.
The Secretary of AVnr, at the suggestion
of the General of tho Armies, sends to the
House a loiter from the General command
ing the First Military District, dated May
15th, regarding the effect of the XlVth
Article in the States still under Provisional
Government. He supposes tho effect would
make vacant all offices held by persons in
competent under the amendment. The
number in Virginia would be several
thousand, and only a small portion of these
vacancies can bo tilled by persons possess
ing necessary qualifications, including
ability to take the oath. Gen. Schofield
adds : I have already appointed in Virginia
nearly five hundred officers, and would
have appointed more if qualified persons
could be found, lie concludes: when
the amendment is adopted a large number
of offices must remain vacant until Con
gress gives some relief.
The whiskey tax will not be over 75 nor
less than 50—probability of a compromise
lit 60.
Tax on liquors will remain at $5.
The above statement is gathered from
sources deemed entirely reliable.
Tho troops arc under arms, by order of
Gen. Hancock, to keep tho peace.
Oregon Election.
San Francisco, June 3.— Oregon elec
tion resulted in Democratic triumph. Dem
ocratic Congressman elected by 1,000 ma
jority. Legislature and County officers

Duel—Fire.
Savannah, June I.—A duel was (ought
here to day, between two colored men, in
which one was killed.
A lire occurred last night on Bay street.

Important Order-
Nkw Out, eaks, June 3.-An order of
Ucnoral Buchanan on the election was
promulgated to day. It announces State,
Parish, und Judicial officers, but makos no
mention of municipal elections. The order
statos that tho Civil Government heroby
provided for is provisional in character,
until after the fourteenth article shall have
become part of tho Constitution of the
United Statos.
The officers elected will enter upon their
duties ou the first Monday in November, in
accordance with Article 138 of the new Con
stitution ; but any vacancy occurring in any
office in the meantime will be filled prefera
bly by the person who has been elected to it.
Any officer elected and found to be dis
qualified, who held the office at the date
named, is to hold over until the disability
be removed, or n new election held. Con
tested elections will bo decided by a proper
civil tribunal, in accordance with the exist
ing State Constitution and laws. The
General Assembly will not convene until
the Commanding General shall have been
officially notified of the acceptance by
Congress of tho new State Constitution.
Immediately after receipt of this informa
tion, a day will be appointed for the meet
ing of the General Assembly to take action
upon the amendment to the Constitution of
the United States, known as Article XIV,
and to define by law the powers and duties
pertaining to the offices newly created by
this Constitution-
Jeff. Davis’ Case Postponed
Richmond, June 3.—The U. S. Court met
this morning, Chief Justice Chase and Judge
Underwood presiding. The Chief Justice
called the case of Davis, when Mr. Anderson,
ol Mississippi, one of the counsel for the
defense, read an agreement for its postpone
ment 'till October, signed by Evarts and
O Conner- The Chief Justice then asked if
the counsel wore ready for trial independent
of this stipulation ?
Governor Wells, for the prosecution, re
plied that, in view of the absence of the
District Attorney, whose wife is in a dying
condition ; the absence of the prisoner, caused
by this stipulation, and the absence of Mr.
Evarts, who stood in a position of more
directly representing the Attorney Genera!,
the case could not well be gone on with. He
suggested some day of the term in October,
when the Chief Justice could attend.
Counsel for defense moved for postpone
ment till next term,which tho Chief Justice
granted, saying, at the same time, that had
the trial taken place in May a your ago, or
lust Fall, or now, it would have been more
convenient for him, as he was ready to try
the ease. He would, however, attend next
term, if possible, in view of his other
du ties.
Witnesses, including General R. E. Lee,
were recognized to appear on the fourth
Monday in November, and the prisoner’s
bail bond renewed.
[second dispatch. |
Richmond, June 3.—The understanding
in the Court to day seemed to be that Mr.
Davis’ trial will, without doubt, take place
next term. The Chief Justice, in answer
to questions of counsel, said he would attend
at that lime, and remain as long as possible,
consistent with his duties in the Supreme
Court.
