Hallroad Accident.
A passenger on the down train from
Florence to Kingsville, Friday, 3?st July,
informs us that, when two miles North of
Sumter, South Carolina, they encountered
the wreck of the u"p train, caused by the
breaking of an axle under the engine tender.
The tender was thrown from the track and
badly demolished. Two cars were 'also
thrown off—the broken axle and wheel
remaining between the rails and created sad
havoc with the brakes and under-rigging of
all the cars. Nobody hurt. The passengers
were transferred to the down train, which
turned back to Florence, while conductor
Evans soon arrived with a train from Kings*
ville, and brought the passengers of the
down train to Augusta., arriving at three
o’clock Saturday morning.

Worth Knowing.
The following is going the rounds of the
papers: One of the most annoying and
painful little troubles is a felon. A genuine
remedy is worth circulating. It is said
that a poultice of Onions applied morning,
noon, and night, for three or four days,
will cure a felon. No matter how bad the
case, lancing the finger will be unneces
sary if the poultice is applied. The remedy
is a sure, safe, and speedy one.
Toothache.
At a meeting of the London’ Medical
Society, Dr. Blake, a distinguished prac
titioner, said that he was able to cure the
most desperate case of toothache, unless the
disease was connected with rheumatism, by
the application of the following remedy '•
Alum, reduced to an impalpable powder, two
drachms; nitrous spirits of Other, seven

Manly Sport* for Young Men.
The recent college sports at Worcester
remarkably illustrate the change which
has taken place in our ideas concerning
physical education. It was once thought
that fine bodily development and intellec
tual success were incompatible with each
other. Twenty-five years ago, to be sun
burned was only a mark of country breed
ing ; to day, the boys at our colleges will
sit out in the summer sun for hours
studying, with hare neck and arms, in
order to obtain the brown hud which is
viewed as a sign of strength in boating
men. Instead of wearing gloves to keep
their hands white, they are proud to have
them tanned the color of leather.
We are also beginning to realize the
value of these physical exercises as a very
important aid in a man’s actual success in
business or professional life. They secure
to him health, without which some of his
abilities must be wasted. The few and
exceptional instances in which men of
weak constitutions and poor health have
risen into distinction, are now properly
regarded as showing what they might have
been, and ought to have been, but for their
lack of physical power.
It has been often said that men who are
first in these manly sports at school and in
college arc poor scholars. This is not true.
At Oxford and Cambridge, in England, the
oarsmen frequently rank well ; and at one
time the senior wrangler, or first-honor
man, at Cambridge, was stroke of the
meDlberS Os the
ifhtvaw -Dasd 'ball Club, which was victo
rious at Worcester last week, graduated high
in the year's class. William Blaikic, who
pulled stroke in the Harvard crew in 1866,
took a prize this year at the Cambridge Law
School.
The time devoted to exercise takes away
of course from that given to study ; but the
increased chances of future health secured
thereby, as well as the tone of manliness
’which athletic sports impart to young men’s
lives, form an ample compensation. So long
• as our youth are Sufficiently studious to
graduate at institutions where the course is
so severe as at Yale or Harvard, andean
also row or play ball, boating and base ball
ought never to die out among students. The
adoption of manly sports has already done
nfeat good. It has taught young men not to
despise hard work ; and in the future the
Preservation of health will occupy a more
Prominept position in plans of education.
'rake Care of the Children.
During the ‘heated term,’ such as we
passed through recently, and imiy experience
again at any moment, the following will be
found good advice, and we beg such otjior
readers to peruse it who have the care of
children :
Animal food, quantities ot fruits, raw
vegetables, ano, above all, cold water, or
other chilling beverages, must be avoided.
" Farinaceous foods, which can be varied in
sort and manner of preparation to the
inclination of the child, and wprip drinks,
are the propfcr aliments, and, if absolutely
necessary, at intervals, a small dose of
syrup of rhubarb ns a tcmic. Avoiding too
much covering by day and night, as also
excessive exercise ; bathing daily in tepid
water. These, and the usual care dictated'
by common sense, are the certain means of
keeping a young child in a healthy slate
and precluding predisposition to most of the
“diseases of childhood.”
The Bankrupt I.aw Amended.
The “fifty per cent, clause” Os the Bank'
rupt law, as it is called, was so amended
by a bill passed in the Senate, on Saturday
last, as to allow all persons who apply
before the Ist day of January, 1869, to
have the benefit of the Bankrupt law
whether they pay fifty per cent, of their
debts or not.
The bill is as follows :
Be it enacted, etc., That the provisions of
the second clause of the thirty-third Sec
tion of said act shall not apply to the cases
of proceedings in bankruptcy commenced
prior to the first day of January, eighteen
hundred and sixty-nine, arid the time
during which the operation of the provi
sions of said clause is postponed shall be
extended until said first day of January,
eighteen hundred and sixty-nine. And
said clause is hereby so amended as to
read as follows: In all proceedings in
bankruptcy commenced after the first day
Os January, eighteen hundred and sixty
nine, no discharge .shall be granted to a
debtor whose assets shall not be equal to
fifty per cent, of the claims proved against
his estate, upon which ho shall be liable as
the principal debtor, unless the assent in
writing of a majority in number and value
of his creditors to whom he shall have
become liable as principal debtor, and who
shall have proved their claims, be held in
the case at or before the time of the hear
ing of the application for discharge.
Sec. 2. And be itfui thcr enacted, That said
act be further amended as follows: The
phrase ‘presented or defended’ in the four
teenth section of said act, shall read, ‘prose
cuted or defended;’ the phrase ‘non-resi

Large, shall read, ‘non-resident creditors' ;
that the wofd ‘or’ in the next to the last
line of the thirty-ninth sectiqd of the act
shall read ‘and’; that the phrase ‘section
thirteen,’ in the forty-second section of said
act, shall read ‘section eleven’; and the
phrase ‘or spends any part thereof in gam
ing,’ in the forty-fourth section of said act,
shall read ‘or spends any part thereof in
gaming’; and that the words ‘with the
senior registrar, or,’ and the phrase ‘to be
delivered to the registrar,’ in the forty
seventh section of said act, be stricken out.
Sec. H. And be it further That
the registrars in bankruptcy shall have
power to administer oaths in all cases, and
in relation to all matters in which oaths
may be administered by Commissioners of
the Circuit Courts of the United Slates, and
such Commissioners may take proof of
debts in bankruptcy in all cases; subject to
the revision of such proofs by the registrar
arid by the Court, according to the provi
sions of said act.
The bill goes to the President.
Postal Money Order System.

increase of the money order system in con
nection with Postoffice Department-

multiplied.
Cheap Living.—An interesting experi
ment in regard to cheap living has been
tried lately, with success, at the Working
woman’s Home, 45 Elizabeth street. It is
well known that this large establishment,
capable of containing five hundred persons
was started last October, with the view of
affording cheap board for women who work
for their own support. It was calculated
that with two hundred persons only, a charge
of $3.25 a week would cover the expenses
of food, attendance and rent, and experience
has proved the correctness of the calcula
tion.
The house now contains two hundred and
thirty inmates. Some time ago it: Was de
cided to adopt the restaurant principle, in
order to enable all to economize. One dol
lar and a quarter was therefore charged for
room rent, and food was furnished at whole
sale cost, with a slight addition for the ex
pense of servant’s wages’ fuel, breakage, etc.
It is found that coffee and tea, with sugar
and milk, can be furnished for two cents a
cup; milk for two cents; meal for thrpe
cents a plate (in quantity to that of a
cheap eating house, where fineeu cents is
charged); a slice-of bread about five inches
square and an inch thick for one cent;
several potatoes for two cents; a plate of
peas, beans or other vegetables, for three
cents ; a pat ol butter, two cents ; pudding
with sauce, four "cents; pie, three cents;
strawberries or blackberries, three cents;
and other eatables in proportion; The
provisions are bought of wholesale dealers in
Washington Tuarkel.
The House offodustry at the Five Points,
supports and clothes a constant average ol a
thousand children at about forty dollars a
year each. The lood is plain, but a trifle
more would-afford luxuries. The public
does not realize the vast economies of living
effected by a participation of large numbers.

Augusta, Ga., August 1, 1868.
To the Chairman of- the Richmond County
Republican Convention.
S IB —Tfatf object of your meeting is to
appoint delegates to the State Convention,
io nominate candidates for electors on the
(jrant uud .Colfax ticket; and as the com
mon eriemy is predicting a division iu our
ranks, I beg leave, in this manner to counsel
the utmost harmony, and trust all your pro
ceedings will be of the most brotherly char
acter, ever keeping in view the great fact,
Chat the salvation of the country depends
upon the success of the Republican party ;
and the success of the Republican party
depends upon perfect harmony among our
selves— pulling together, as one man, upon
the lino that shall bring to us victory, full
and complete.
The want of unity in the Republican
ranks of the Georgia Assembly caused the
disastrous consequences in the late Sena
torial coolest. Let such a result bo never
repeated among ourselves. While 1 must
say I was chagrined at that result, let me
here declare, that the success of the Repub
lican party is dearer to me a thousand fold
than my owu advancement; therefore, let
there be no crimination, no denunciation ;
but, iu the language of our glorious stan
dard bearer, General Grants “Let us have
peace I” and let m have victory I
Very respectfully,
Foster Bloduett.

TWO THOUSAND citizens in council.
Immediately upon the adjournment of the
Republican Convention, yesterday, a Mass
Meeting of citizens was organized by the
appointment of Col. J.E. Bryant as Chair
man, uud Col. E. F. Blodgett as Secretary.
Mr. E. M. Brayton introduced the follow
ing preamble and resolutions, which were
unanimously adopted, with much enthu
siasm :
Whereas, at a public Democratic meet
ing, field at the City Hall, Augusta, on
Thursday, 30th ultimo, at which L. D. F ord.
presided, sundry resolutions, were adopted
asserting that Augusta is virtually without a
municipal government, alluding to the
tragedy on the night of the 27th ult., and
’ appealing to the Legislature for relief from
the alleged mismanagement of the present
Mayor aqd Council; therefore,
Resolved, That the citizens here assembled
d enounce the action of said political meeting,
as a partisan attempt to stigmatize and
cause the removal of our efficient Mayor and
Aldermen who are known to be true Repub
licans, and in whom we have implicit confi
dence ns men and as officers.
Resolved, That for the untruthful state
ments relative to mismanagement of the
City -firiances, promulgated in the said
resolutions, we respectfully refer the Geor
gia Legislature to Hon. Ben. Conley, of the
Senate, and Hou. Ephtaiqi Tweedy, of the
House, both of whom are members of the
Gity Council of Augusta-
After the passage of the resolutions the
meeting adjourned.

Suggestions.
It will be safe and profitable to follow
this advice during the next two mouths:—
Walk on the shady side of the slgeet; mind
your stomach ; spend no money foolishly ;
avoid crowds; be temperate in all things,
and don’t get excited.
A correspondent commends Onions as a
specific against epidemics—not as an escu
lent, but sliced and kept in a sick room,
where they will absorb any atmospheric
poison. They should bo replaced by fresh
ones every hour. It is noticed that in the
room of a small pox patient they will blister
and decompose with grert rapidity, but will
prevent the spread of the disease. Their
application lias also proved effective iu the
case of snake bitos,
