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. [OyFiUTAI. | City Itoimeil Proceedings.

During the month of July, no storage has been Collected, owing to the fact that the storage has just begun. Respectfully submitted. George McKenney, . Keeper Powder Magazine. 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. ' ' RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED. By Mr. Tweedy: Resolved, That the Clerk of Council bo re quired to give- notice that, at the next regular meeting of Council, an election will be hold for Teachers of tho Houghton Institute. By Mr. Tw*edy: Whereas, By an agreement entered into be tween the City Council and the Inferior Court of Richmend county, the expense of keeping and oonducting tic Freedman’s Hospital was to be shared by the City Council; and Wiinbeas, The duties of the City Hospital Physician, M. E. Swinney, are thereby increased, bo it Resolved, That tho salary of twelve hundred dollars per annum, now paid to Dr. Swinney, be increased to sixteen hundred dollars per annum, from tho first of June, 1868. By Mr. Conley: Resolved, That the management of the Au gaetaOstial, for twelve months, by Mr. W. E. Jackson, of the Augusta Factory, having ter mina'ed by the expiration of the time, that tho same be resumed by Mr. William Phillips, as hereto io re. By Mr. Conley: Resolved, That, in consideration of the faitli fal’er vices of Mr. William Phillips, for the last twenty years, in tho care and management of the Augusta Canal, it is proper that the Council* in restoring him to the charge of that work, acknowledge, in a substantial way, their.appro ciation of bis services ; therefore, be it further Resolved, That the City Council donate to Mr. Phillips tho office and lot now occupied by him on the south side of the Canal Basin. Referred to Cana! Committee, to report at next meeting. By Mr. Tweedy i Whereas, Acts of violence and resistance to the constituted authorities of this city have been advised ; and whereas, questions have been made as to the rightful exercise of power by tha present Council and Mayor of Augusta : W e deem it ouly necessary to say that tho terms of office of the Council and Mayor elected in April, 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, ~nd to use all lawful means therefor; aud in case of violent efforts to resist his authority, to call upon the Governor for aid in maintaining law and order, until his successor is duly elected and qualified hi conformity to law. Be it further Heaolred, That the Mayor is hereby authorized and empowered to employ Counsel for tbe de fence of Chief of Police Wm. C. Dillon and Lieut. Charles Evans, now under arrest fur the charge of shooting Cornelius .A,. Red, while in the dis charge of their official duties in preserving law and order in thia City. Be it further Ji’ooZeeil, That the Surgeon's charges for at tending the wounded Pofieu officers be paid by the City Council of Augusta. ACCOUNTS. Tho salaries, accoaßts, etc., properly audited, wore ordered to be paid. Council then adjouined. Attest: JAMES N. ELLS, Clerk of Council. - —— ■ 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 factory.?- Colutubus Times. special Dispatch to the Augusta Republican.) 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. Revenue to day, $545,000. 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. Roseucrauz leaves for Mexico the middle of September. Cablegrams. Liverpool, August 8. —Mr. Davis was on Change yesterday, and loudly cheered, London, August 8. —A French trading post of twenty-five men, near the froutier of Cochin Chinn, was captured, and the men massacred by the Avant rebels. The French subsequently recaptured the position aud dispersed the rebels. 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.
