Demorest-
This Magazine well deserves its great and
increasing patronage. It is such a work as
a man need not be afraid of introducing into
his house. Though fashionable, it is not
frivolous. Ou the contrary, it is full of
sound sense, useful information, and vigor
ous, high-toned thought. There is more for
the money than in any two Magazines, and
the quality is as good as the quantity is
generous. Surprise your wife, sister or
daughter, with a year’s subscription, as a
birthday, Thanksgiving or Christmas gift.
It will pay well for the investment. W.

Donkeys’ Braying.
We are credibly informed that in Indiana
they have away to stop a donkey's braying,
which consists in tying a heavy stone to the
animal's tail. He can’t bray, it is alleged,
unless he can bring his tail to a horizontal
position, and this being impracticable when
the weight isattached, the “barbaric yawp”
is suppressed. The patent comes from
China.
Catologue of Young Men’s Library
Association.
We are 'indebted to Mr. A. C. Ives,
Secretary, for one of the handsomely printed
copies ot “ Catalogue of the Library of the
Young Men’s Library Association, Augusta,
Ga.”
The catalogue embraces 1,642 volumes
of interesting boohs—history, literary mis
cellany, poetry and the drama, biography,
voyages and travels, science and arts, novel
and romances, moral and religious, classics
and miscellaueous —together with many
bound sets of leading periodicals.
We have been requested to notify mem
bers that copies of the Catalogue can be
procured at the Association rooms, corner of
Mclntosh and Ellis streets.
Church Music. •
Napoleon's army came to a pass in . thv
Alps where the rocks could not be sur
mounted by the ammunition wagons. He
went to the leader of the band and asked
for his portfolio; then leafing over till he
came to an inspiring march he said, “Play
that I” The whole band struck the air with
their instruments, and over the rocks went
the ammunition wagons.
Over all obstacles, and over all supersti
tions, the Church of Christ will march tri
umphant when we can gather the great
hosts of the living God and hurl them
against the embattlements with some great
choral uplifting of Autioch, Woodstock,
Mount Pisgah, or Old Hundred.

Bounctc. *
The ladies arc informed'that Bonnets, fur
fall and Winter fashions, havo not increased
in size, nor very materially changed their
shape. The new importations are, if pos
sible, smaller than those of the early sum
mer. The Fanchon still reigns supreme,
ruling out all attempts to make popular the
crown bonnet. The latest style of import
ed bonnets—some of which are made of
velvet—are puffed on the centre, with a
coronet or diadem in front, adorned with
bead coronals, and trimmed with tufts of
leathers and crystalized. bugs, with lace
strings clasped by a flower, and long satin
ends falling from this lace to near the bot
tom of the dress. A beautiful bonnet, ala
Marie Antoinette, has a wreath of green
leaves and immortelles across the front, with
a plume of feathers on one side.

A New Sunday school.
Surely all Christian churches will rejoice
at every effort made to inculcate the princi
ples of the Bible, wherein is found the
germ that secures the growth of morality.
Sunday schools can hardly be too greatly
multiplied. If there were a teacher to every
Sunday school scholar in the city much
greater good could be done at present,
but unfortunately this advantage is not
secured and many children age left un
gathered and untaught by our Sunday
schools. Every Mission Sunday school that
is started in Augusta is an additional assur.
ance that children will bo bent in the direc
tion of a sound Christian education. We
need in this direction all that churches can
do. There are many men and women,
young ladies and gentlemen, in almost every
church who take no interest in the home
Sabbath school, and these are just the ones
who should put to work in the mission fields
as teachers, and made to give forth freely the
religious doctrines and principles they have
been so long in a measure simply absorbing.
And, therefore, when we find a body of such
workers leaving the parent hive and seeking
a wider field o f labor, we rejoice with all
other good people. This city is broad
enough and long enough and wicked enough
to give ample room for labor to Sunday
schools on every street, and then the num
ber would not half equal the dens of intoxi
cation and dissipation that crowd the city.
If one hundred and fifty ‘ saloons ' can find
health in Augusta, surely half that num
ber of Sabbath schools can find employment
i” gathering the scores of children whose
Parents seek wretched places in which tc
'irown their troubles and cares.
American UnlwcraHy for Use Blind.
I This is the name of a much needed Insli-
- tution, to. establish which efforts are now
making. It is the conception of Mr. D*mfsy
B. Sherod, at present in our city, who is
zealously working to embody his conception
- in an outward, beneficent (act. Many to .
whom be has stated his purpose approve bis,
. plan, sympathize with his hope, and arc ■
ready to aid in consummating his design.
The blind of the world arc estimated a 1
about one million; sixty or seventy thousand
use the English language—twenty thousand
in the United States. Probably one-half
could read the raised print, if properly in
structed, and two hundred or more might be
benefitted by instruction in advance of that
now provided by iuslitutious or schools for
the blind.
Some twelve years since, Mr. Sherod
(then a pupil of the Mississippi institution
for .the blind), began this work with but little
, back-ground to rest on. He secured the
t organization of boards of trustees in several
States, and obtained from the Legislatures of
’ Mississippi and Kentucky acts incorporating
his prospective institution, under the name
of ‘American Printing House for the Blind.’
The war suspended his operations, but did
not abate his enthusiasm, or kill his enter-
I prise.
3 Donations, of five dollars or more, may be
3 sent to the General Agent, in care of Super-
I intendent of Blind Institute, Macon—or to
• Dr. G. W. Samson, President Columbian
College, Washington, D. C.
] N unification.
The constitution of Georgia and the four
teenth amendment declare in the same
r
t words:
“All persons born or naturalized in the
United States, and subject to the jurisdic-
• tion thereof, are citizens of the United States
• and of the State wherein they reside. No
State shall make or enforce any law which
shall abridge the privileges or immunities
of citizens of the United States.”
1 Under-this the legislature was organized,
1 the constitutional amendment was adopted,
and our State elected representatives to
Congress. Negro votes were necessary to
the adoption of the constitution, and negro
members of the legislature were necessary
to the completion of the reconstruction.
Yet, no sooner is Georgia readmitted than
the old rebel anti-Union element is set to
work to expel twenty-five members of the
legislature, by which step all her previous
acts are declared null and void. If this
position is sustained, then Georgia is yet
out of the Union, she has not adopted the
fourteenth amendment, she is not entitled
to representation in Congress, and she can
not vote for President and Vice President.
All her legislation goes for nothing, and
she inevitably comes again under military
government. She has literally committed
political suicide.
Eggs Hatched In Sand.
A citizen of Berlin, lately, during th e
great heat, experimented on the hatching
. out of hens’ eggs in sand. On the 22d of
July he placed six in a cigar box filled with
that material, and exposed the case to the
sun on that and the following days. The
• first chick broke the shell on the the 9th of
August, the second on the 10tb, the third
and fourth on the 11th, and the others on
the following 'lay. They are all going on
well, being fed on boiled eggs cut up small
with millet. The average period of hatching ,
the chickens is twenty-one days; in the
present case the first was produced in nine- ’
teen.
I
A Belle.
They actually have a belle at one of our '
sea-side resorts, who sets aside the estab
lished rules of etiquetfe, and eats wilh her 1
knife instead of a fork.

An ‘exact calculator’ has made an esti
mate based upon the salaries paid to Ameri
can ministers, and the number of sermons
preached, and arrives at the conclusion that ,
the price paid for a sermon, to take the i
country through, is only three cents apiece I I
Sardine*.
The sardine crop has been so unusually 1
large on some parts of the Spanish coast,
that the means for preserving them proved
inadequate, and many of the little fish were
used as manure.
Sleeping in Church.
The following is said to be a goed remedy
for sleeping in- church :
“Take a piece of horse-radish root, of
good size, and a finger’s length, to the
sanctuary, and the moment the sermon be
gins, put a piece in your mouth about the
size of a common corn, bite and moisten it
faithfully with the saliva, and the eyes will
not only be easily kept open, hut a tearful
attention may also be promoted, to the ex
elusion of drowsiness till the sermon ends.”

same time for the same crime.
Mr. Nunnally moved to take up the case
of T. G. Campbell.
Messrs. Higbee and Hungerford opposed
the resolution.
Mr. Harris followed in the same direction.
He said that the Constitution conferred upon
the negro the right to hold office.
Mr. Winn—Did you not, upon the stump
and before the people of the district, take
the position that tue Constitution did not
confer the right to hold office?
Mr. Harris—l did not take the stump. I
took no position before the people that the
Constitution conferred upon the negro the
right to hold office,
Mr. Winn—Did you take the ground be
fore your constituents that the reconstruc

under the rules of the House, be reconsid
ered again.
Mr. Price moved to expunge the action of
the House, in relation to this bill, by the

second time.
Mr. Flournoy moved to reconsider the
