Klee.
One of the best articles of diet at this
season of the year is rice. If people would
eat plenty o( well cooked rice they would
have fewer disturbances of their digestive
apparatus. Rice is both a preventive and a
cure of “bowel complaints.”
Tbe Ilog Day*.
According to the calculation of those well
versed in the matter, we are now in the midst
of the "dog days,” Whether Sirius is really
guilty ot bringing madness on dogs, wo can
not say; but he has the credit of it, and, at
all events, he is now in the ascendant,
according to the almanac. No cases of
hydrophobia have yet occurred, and no other
baneful effects haye thus far been experienced
under the influence of the dreaded dog star.
Little boys, from time immemorial, have been
warned against too frequent and imprudent
bathing during this period ; but as often as
the warning is repeated, so often will it fall
unheeded upon the ears of those whom it is
intended to benefit, unless the warning is
enforced by parental admonition. Youth, in
its indiscretion, too often scoffs at the wise
lessons of experience.
Cucumber Neuaou.
This vegetable now forms a prominent
dish with most ot our citizens at every meal.
Mr. Abernethy, the celebrated surgeon, con'
tributes an excellent recipe for preparing
the cucumber, which is ps follows : '“Peel it
slice it down into pieces, cutting them very
thin, put on vinegar (cider vinegar is the
best), pepper it well, and then raise the win
dow and pitch it into the street.” We know
a much better way than this. To bo prop -
erly appreciated, cucumbers should be freshly
pickled from the vines, peeled, and cut in as
thin slices as possible. Then, instead of
applying vinegar, place the cucumber on a
plate and strew« little salt over them, and
allow them to remain five, ten, or more
minutes, until thoroughly wilted. The juice
of the cucumber will exude freely, atul es
pecially if the pieces are sprinkled with a
very little salt. Shake the cucumbers be
ween the two plates and drain the water off
as thoroughly as possible. The more thor
oughly this is done the better the cucumbers
will be. Then apply strong vinegar and a
little pepper, and you have the best dish of
cucumbers ever prepared, not at all un
healthy, and palatable to everybody. Cu
cumbers in chunks, with all their juices in
them, arc about as palatable as raw potatoes
treated in the same way. The method we
have recommended has been tried in some
families a great many years, and has never
failed to give satisfaction.
Poisonous Hair Dye*.
There is a class of hair dyes of an objec
tionable character, which is being very
extensively used in all parts of. tire country
The dye is prepared from aoetato of lead, lac
sulphur, rose w'ater and glycerine, The lead
salt constitutes the objectionable feature of
the compound, and several cases of lead
poisoning have been reported from its
employment. A serious case has recently
come to our knowledge, in which a lady lias
become perfectly prostrated from its effects
All the violent and distressing symptoms us
lead poisoning are apparent, and which are
directly traceable to the use of this dye.
There are thirty or more different' makers of
the article throughout the country, and as
many different names given to it. It may
by known by the heavy sediment which is
usually present in the bottles, and which
requires to be shaken up with the liquid
before using. A large number of |wople are
so extremely sensitive to the action of lead
upon the system, that they suffer whenever
it is brought in contact with the person.
• •
Horae*’ Feet Require moisture.
Nine tenths of the diseases which happen
to the hoofs and ankles of horses are occa
sioned by standing on the dry plank floors of
the stable. Many persons seem to think,"
from the way they keep their horses, that
the feet of the horse were never made for
moisture, and that if possible it wouM be
beneficial if they had cow hide boots to put
on every time they went out. Nature
designs the foot for moist ground—the earth
of the woods and valleys at the same time
that a covering was given to protect it from
stones and stumps.

The following communication, from Messrs.
Hook tt Carr, was read, aud ordered published :
Augusta, Ga., August Bth, 18S8.
To the Mayor and City Council of Auyusta, Gad
Gentlemen—Your note asking oar profes
sional opinion as to your right to hold the offices
and exercise tho functions of Mayor and Coun
ciluien for the city of Augusta, under your mili
tary appointment, now that tho military is no
longer the governing power in Georgia, is
received, and we reply at onco, briefly :
Our opinion is very clear that, upon general
principles, tho present Board can alone legally
and authoritatively exercise the functions of the
city government for Augusta, aud that you, per
force of law and well established principles of
social polity, must continue to exercise them,
until your successors are elected and qualified.
Government apd police rogul itions are an abso
lute necessity to tho city ; and to hold that your
offices aro vacant because tho military, from
whom you derived your authority, has boon
subordinated to tho civil authority, is to hold
that all the acts of a prior government are void
upon the succession of a different form of gov
ernment. It is to hold that tbe Reconstruction
Acts of Congress under which all this military
action took place, are absolutely void and to be
wholly disregarded. This far even President
Johnson was unwilling to go, with all his known
hostility to those acts ; he recognized and acted
under them, content to loavo tiiqir validity to
the proper' tribunal. If" tho" opposite view is
correct, than wo are wholly without city police
regulations, and this largo commercial column
nity without tho security of local Jaw for the pro
tection of its local interests.
•But, there is another view of this subject, and
with this wo close this opinion. By au ordinance
of the Convention, adopted on the 10 th of March,
’ll6B, “to provide for certain municipal elec
tions,” it is declared that “where the official term
his expired, and tho vacancies have not been
filled by appointment of the military authorities,
that the election for Mayor and Council shall
commence on tho 20th April,” etc., etc. It will
be seen from this that the Convention fully re
cognised the right of tho military to make such
appointments to fill vacancies in municipal
offices. By looking to tho 12th section of Article
XI, of tbe new Constitution, vou will sec that it
is declared that “all other ordinances of a mere
legislative character shall have the force of laws,
until otherwise provided by the General Assem
bly.” Your authority, then, and the manner of
ita creation, are clearly recognised by tho laws
•and Constitution under which we now live. This
view receives additional'support from a survey
of the 9th section of th* same article of th*
Constitution; but we will not p«use to quote it.
It only remains to add that this Constitution has
been declared ratified by a fcajerity of the regis
tered voters of tbe State.
* Yours, respectfully.
Hook A Carr.

Whereas, Acts of violence and resistance to
the constituted authorities of this city have been
advised ; and whereas, questions have been made

1866, by law, expired in April, 1867; yet said
Mayor and Council held over, under law and
precedent, until their successors wore appointed
by the military powers then in existence in the
Btato (vested with full aud complete authority
therefor), which authority, emanating as it did
from tho Congress of the United States, and
fully recognized in the Constitution of this State*
constituted the present Mayor and Council the
successors of the Mayor and Council of 1866,
and bound under our oaths to maintain our ppsi"
tions and exercise all the rights, privileges and
functions of said Mayor and Council until our
successors aro duly elected (or appointed) and
qualified; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Mayer is hereby instructed
to maintain law and order in this city under the
Laws of the State »nd Ordinances of said City,

law and order, until his successor is duly elected
and qualified hi conformity to law. Be it

and empowered to employ Counsel for tbe de

■ inertial Revenue Instruction*.
Commissioner Rollins has issued a series
of most important, instructions for the sup
pression of the unauthorized production of
alcoholic spirits and vapors. He says that
one of the principal objects of the late tax
law just passed is to enable the internal
xTevenue officer to suppress all manner of
distillation of spirits not expressly authorized
by law, and tQ collect the tax on all alco
bolic spirits manufactured- The laws here
tofore existing, he says, were found to be
inefficient, and the Courts differ in their
construction, but there cannot be a matter of
doubt concerning the provisions of the new
law on this subject. Under it no article into
which spirits or alcoholic vapors enter as au
ingredient can be lawfully manufactured,
except such spirits or alcohol have been
produced in an authorized distillery, and
have paid the tax. The manufacturers of
vinegar by various processes are largely
a Seated by the law, many of whom have
been making vinegar with no intention of
defrauding the Government, while others
have, been, the Commissioner says, commit,
ting flngrant frauds. The law has made no
distinction, and ita provisions were intended
to close all such manufactories, and assessors
and collectors are instructed to take meas
ures accordingly,
Green Corn lor Winter.
Aii exchange furnishes the following re
cipe for preserving corn in the “roasting
ear” state for winter use. Will some of our
readers try it:
Take corn when in a good state for cook
ing. clean off all the silk and unsound grains,
and cut off the tips from the ears. Place
them in clenn boiling water, to which a little
salt has been added, and keep them boiling
until nearly done. Take them out and cut
the grains off, taking care to leave the entire
cob uncut. Then put the corn out to dry in tho
sunshine, spread out about half an inch
thick (stirring up occasionally), for three
days, when it will be found As dry aud hard
as ripe corn. Bag up and store away in a
drv place. It will keep for .any length of
time, and is almost, if not quite as good as
that gathered from the green stalk in sum
mer, pud is prepared for the table' in die
same manner.
The same paper furnishes the following
recipe for making tomato wine, and vouches
for its being a pleasant beverage : *
Take small, ripe tomatoes, pick off the
stems, put the tomatoes in a tub and wash
them clean. Then strain through a linen or
fine cotton bag. One bushel of tomatoes
will make five gallons of pure wine. Add
two and a half or three pounds of loaf sugar
to each gallon of joico. Then pat in a cask
and let it ferment as for other wine*.
Muscogee Railroad Affair Adjusted.—
Wc learn that, in pursuance of the action of
the City Council in the matter at their last
meeting, the long standing claim held by the
City Council of Columbus against the Mus
cogee Railroad, on account of the Opelika
connection, was settled yesterday at SIO,OOO,
payable in Columbus city bonds. This we
understand to have been the terms proposed
to be accepted by the old Board, but up to
this time bad been declined by the Mascogee
Road.
Being the terms offered by the old and
legal board, we presume it will prove satis

From Atlanta.
Atlanta, Ga., August 8, 1868.
The Senate consumed all the morning in
discussing the minority report in the case of
Bradley, as offered by Mr. Higbee. The re
port says that the crime of (eduction in New
York is construed as a misdemeanor when
under promise of marriage; also, tho iden
tity of Bradley is doubtful, by the testimony;
that it was not a felony in Georgia at tho
time it was committed ; further, that, ac
cording to the action of the Senate in adopt'
ing the report of tlie Committee on Privileges
and Electii/is, the Senator is clearly eligible,
and concludes by a resolution that, under
the Constitution, he is entitled to his seat.
A motion made by Mr. Adkins to postpone
uutil Tuesday was defeated by a vote of 10
to 18.
The evidence was then read, and Bradley
called on lot bis defence. He spoke an
hour, anil was interrupted by a motion to
adjourn, to effect which, would be his yield
ing the floor. Members kept leaving as the
hour for adjournment had passed, and was
prolonged. Bradley appealed to give him
until Monday,, to consult with counsel.
Finally, on a call of the roll, no quorum was
prescut, aud Senate adjourned.
Hurlbert was appointed Superintendent of
the State Road, and Walton, of Crawford,
Principal Keeper of the Penitentiary.
In the House, a resolution was introduced
by Tumlin, declaring all colored members
ineligible,
Washington Items
Washington, August B.—Col. Deane bad
an interview with Gen. Schofield this morn
ing, aud will have a definite answer regarding
his mission ou Monday. It is understood
that, while the Government considers the
situation as one of delicacy, and requiring
great discretion, it will use its powers under
the Constitution and laws to repress disorder
with promptness and vigor.
Grant's recommendation of a general jail
delivery in the Southern States, heretofore
telegraphed, was formally presented to the
cabinet yesterday, but produced no action.
Habeas Corpus being restored and the
Courts open, relief from all unjust or
illegal punishment was within easy and
speedy reach of every reason, whereas the
sweeping action proposed by General Grant
would doubtless throw bad men on these
communities. •
No action in the Revenue Commissioner
ship is probable until after Tuesday’s
Cabinet.
Rosecranz had a prolonged interview
with the President regarding Mexican
affairs.

Gen. Augur is here on leave.
A. W. Clark relieves Gen. Kilpatrick as
Chilian Minister.
The Secretary of tho Treasury issues
instructions that persons entitled to interest
on bonds failing to collect interest within
ninety days after maturity from the proper
Assistant Treasurers, will be referred to
Washington for settlement.
The belief is current that the Cabinet
has decided not to interfere in the South
ern States only in ease of palpable insur
rection. The details will transpire on
Monday.
A careful reading of Section 2, Four
teentli Amendment of tbe Constitution,
shows that tbe people must vote for Psesi
dential electors or lose representation in
Congress.
Col. Deane, of Gov. Warmouth’s staff, has
confined himselfi in his representations
respecting affairs in Louisiana, mainly to the
authorities to whom he was sent. In general
conversation, while representing the situation
as serious aud requiring prompt attention
from the Government, lie draws a milder
and more encouraging picture of affairs than
some others lately from New Orleans have
done. He speaks very kindly of General
Hayes and other prominent ex-Confederates,
and hopefully cl their probable attitude and
course in relation to public order.

Alabama Legislature.
Montgomery, August B.—The House
this morning rejected the Senate bill au
thorizing Legislature to east the electoral
vote of the State by a vote of 43 to .32.
This afternoon the House reconsidered
its action and passed the bill by 48 to 18 ;
the speakers and others protested against
it as anti-Republican and opposed to the
genius and spirit of liberty.
