We take pleasure in announcing that we have perfected arrangements whereby the typographical superintendence of this office will be under the management of Col. C. R.

In the absence of Mr. PugHb, Col. 11. will be found at the office, 190 Broad street, prepared to receive orders and contract for all kinds of Printing, which will be executed ip the best style and on the most reasonable terms. The Shower, We feel grateful for the refreshing shower of rain vouchsafed to us, yesterday after noon, and only regret its brief continuance. The indications, at this writing, however, warrant us in hoping for more. Quiet. Business is dull in the Recorder’s Court. There were but three ‘cases’ (one plain, two colored) disposed of on yesterday—trivial offences. Municipal. Our neighbor over the way is considerably concerned because the city of Augusta, by i the abrogation of the military law in this State, is left without a civil government. Let our neighbor‘possess his soul in patience’ for a little time. The present City Govern ment is not likely to vacate until their suc cessors are elected and qualified, and Augusta is likely to retain for the present the distinc tion of being the best governed city in the South. Tlie Iliac in Cold. ■ TUc recent rise in gold is caused mainly iky the demand for export to pay for exces sive importations. It is also a natural ■result from tire wretched management of ■the Government, in fooling-away all of its ■gold to pay needless interest, making the ■paper irredeemable, instead of using it ■discreetly for the protection of the paper. ■Withoutan entire change in the govern- Iment management, a very considerable ■rise may be looked for. ♦ *— I How the Good Tcmplarn Initiate* The following must have been written by In chap who got drunk on lager beer without ■ knowing it would intoxicate. It refers to la lodge of Good Templars. It is a graphic ■ description of an “ initiating ceremony” as ■ the writer understands it: In the first place the victim for initiation ■is blindfolded, hands and feet tied, and ■ thrown into a cauldron of boiling hot rain ■ "liter and boiled for five minutes. This is ■ done for the purpose of clearing his system ■of “ old drunks.” I He is then taken out of the cauldron and, ■by means of a force pump, gorged with ■cistern water, after which a sealing ■plaster is put over his mouth and he is in a barrel four or five times across ■he room. B The choir at the same time sings the Cold ■Water Song, B He is now takeu out ot the barrel and Wiung up by the heels till the water runs out ■hrough bis ears. I Ho is then cut down, and a beautiful Kyoung lady hands him a glass of cistern B A cold water bath is then furnished him, B“- , ’ r which he is showered with cistern ■*ater. ■ He is then made to read the Water Works ■Act ten times, drinking a glass ot cistern ■"ai.-r between each reading.

Tno secret consists, not in letting in cool air, for natk. rally all do that whenever they have the chance, but iu kcepiii'* out hot tur. II the air outside of » room Os hottie be cooler than the air inside, let it in by all means, but if it be hotter* carefully keep it out. A staircase window left open during the night will often cool the passages of a house, and the rooms ( too, jf their doors be shut; Shut it must be closed at eight or nfnh o'clock in the' morning, or, if on the suuny side, at four or five o'clock, and the blinds drawn down. The mistake people generally make is to throw open their windows at all hours of the day, no matter whether the atmosphere out side bo cold or scorching. “Let us have some air,” they say, and in comes the treach erous breeze —for even hot air is pleasant while it is gently blowing, taking away perspiration, and thereby cooling the skin ; but the apartment is made warmer, instead of cooler, aufi; as sow, as they move mil of nfia ih'tir room to he more uncomfortable than before. Let in eool air, keep out hot; that is the only formula to insure the miuimiim-of discomfort. Sitting rooms may generally be kept cool during the whole day if the doors he only Opened for ingress and egress, anil thfl windows be kept closed and shielded from direct sunshine by a. blind. If the atmos phere of a room be impure from any cause, let it be renewed ; hot air is less injurious than bad ail*. If a room be small im com parison with the number of persons engaged in it, free ventilation becomes indispensable. In cooking apartments the temperataro will probably be higher than outside, hence the free admission even of hot air will be desirable. If persons do not object to sit in a direct draught of air, windows and doofs may be opened, even though several degrees warmer than still air; but under nearly all other circumstances rooms should be kept closed ag muqli as I ppii.sible till after sundown, or till the air outside is cooler than that inside. Let in cool air, keep ont hot. —■) 'l ite Art of Affectation. There is a certain like kind of affectation very common among pretty women; and this is the affectation of not knowing that they .are pretty, apd rt*pgni|it>g the ■fleet of their beauty on men. Take a wo mKh ‘wltfi : hewfldefidf- eyes, say, oTim maddening size and shape, and fringed with long lashes that distract yW to look at ; the creature knows that her eyes are bewildering, as well as she knows that tint bums spd that ice melts; she knows the effect of that trick , she. has with them -the sudden uplifting of the heavy lid, and the swift, full gaze that she gives right into a man’s eyes. Shelias practiced it often in the glass, and knows tea mathematical nicety the exact height to which a lid mast be raised; and the exact fixity of the gaze. She knows the whole meaning of the look, and the stirring of man’s blood that it creates; but if yon speak to her ot the effect of her trick, she puts on an air of the extremes! iimoceuee, and protests Iter entire ignorance aS to anything her eyes may say or mean; and if you press her hard she will look at you in the same way for her own benefit and deny at the very moment of, offence. Various other tricks has she with those bewildering eyes of hers—each more peril - ous than the other to men’s peace ','aftd all unsparingly employed, no matter what the result. For this is the woman who flirts to her extreme limits, then suddenly draws up and says she meant nothing. Step by step, she has led you on, with looks and smiles, and pretty doubtful phrases susceptible of two meanings, tho one for the cur by the mere word, the other for the heart by the accomplishments of look ai;d wanner which arg intangible ; step by step she has drawn you deeper and deeper into the maze where she baa gone before as your decoy; when she has you safe she raises bar eyes for the last time, complains that you have mistaken her cruelly, and that she has meant nothing more than any one else might mean ; and what can she do to repair bcr mistake ? Love you? marry you? No; she is engaged to your rival, who -counts his thousands to your hundreds; and what a pity that you had not seen this all along, and 1 (bat you should have so misun dfirstood her I Besides, what is there about her that you or any we should love ? <M all the Inaiiy affectations of women, this affecta ,tian' of lhci(;own heaitlessncss when beauti ful, and of their innocence of design when they practice their arts lor the discomlurture of men, is the most dangerous and tin- most disastrous. But what can one say to them ? Tho . very fact that they are dangerous disarms a man's anger and blinds bis perception until ton late. That men love tliongh they suffer is woman’s triumph, guilt, and con donation ; and so long as the trick succeeds it will be practiced. Another affectation of the same family is the extreme friendli ness and familiarity which some #dnien adopt in their manners toward men. Young girls affect an almost maternal tone to boys of their own age, one year or so older ; and they, too, when their elders remonstrate) declare they mean nothing, and how hard it is they may nftt be natural. This form of affectation, once begun, continues throughout life, being too convenient to be lightly discarded ; and youthful matrons not long out of their teens assume a tone’ and way that would about liefit middle age counselling giddy youth, and that might by chance be dangerous even then if the "Indian Summer” was specially bright and warm. • ♦ • - • Homicide. —About l.o’clock this. evening, A. D. Foss was killed on Broad street, in Finney's store, Granite Block. The facts, as we learned them on the spot, are aj follows : Foss was discharged this morning by A. T. Finney, who carries on a carriage and buggy factory. Foss returned to the store of Finney, and a difficulty ensued about the discharge, and Finney stabbed him -to the heart twice. He died imntediateha—- Manfd InteHigen< er. M.

Hopkins, I who was shot and killed by Mr. Isaac Rus s sell on Tuesday night last, was buried yes terday afternoon iu Laurel throve Cemetery. ‘ Long Wore tho hour appointed for the 3 funeral, Jones street, iu front of the late 3 residence of tlie deceased, was crowded with j ■ negroes. So dense was the gathering, that t it was almost impossible to force a passage through the street. It is estimated that 3 upwards of twenty-five hundred pedons, of i both sexes, were clustered al or about the point mentioned. The crowd was very quiet; ’ individuals in it met and talked over the * occurrence in low tones, but there were no 3 violent or excited proceedings anon the part r of any of them. At five o’clock, tho coffin, covered with the American flag, was placed in the hearse; six carriages followed, enn -1 tailing about twenty white persons. Then ' caffie a procession .of about nine hundred blacks, men and women, who followed the > rcmgitjs to the grave. They marched along very quietly through the streets, and, on reaching the. commons, they commenced 1 cliauiiug one of thyir peculiar melodies, which they kept up both in going to and ; returning from tho cemetery. Appropriate I services were held at the grave by Rev. Dr. Porter, and nil tSeil w«« mortal es WilKatS Robert Hypkins was lowered jnto the earth. : Ainong’llscwhitc mourners who followed i the-remains to the tomb, we noticed Post master Robb, A. N.

A tesblution tolaSc a recess from Monday to the third Monday ip Si pteiubcr, after an. exciting struggle, prevailed, several Demo crats changing their votes. Tin- final vole was 76 to 71. '» The Reconstruction Committee reported a bill for the more speedy reorganization of Virginia, Mississippi and Texas. During the debate, Butler declared bimself in favor of the bill. He was hopeless, how ever, of its becoming a law ; lire resolution to adjourn on Monday would defeat h. He added, that if the Republicans lost the Southern (States, they could not object to their being Counted against them, mid if tlie RepubliciMis won them, the President had said their governments were illegal, and their votes could not be counted. He said that the President held the purse, the sword, and the Senate, so far as heard from; that’ tire New York World had claimed, if Uougrcs.l adjourmxl, every Southern State could be carried for .tho Democratic ticket. Butler believed it, and Congress was (imply losing time considering this bill, if the reconstruction policy could stand, Congress -ought to prefect it. They ought to protect their action, their honor ns legislators, nnJ themselves. Buller’s tHiie' expired. Beck appealed to tho House nut to pass the bill—not Io consign those States to reck less adventurers—-not to arm a negro con stabulary agaiqst peaceful, white inlmbi taiUs, but in flier leave those States.under the protection of the troops of the IFfiitod States.
