Invited to Alißu.la.
The different Democratic Clubs, in Con
vention last Wednesday in this city, ap
pointed a Committee to invite Hon. John
Quincy Adams, formerly minister to the
Court of St. James, and the present Demo
cratic candidate for Governor of Massa
chusetts, to address the Democracy of this
city. He is at present en rutile to Charles
ton to take the stump for Seymour and
Blair in South Carolina.
Gave Bond to Answer,
Mr. Ed. PurcblL, charged (us stated in
our issue of yesterday) with assault and at
tempt to murder Mr. James Farrell, was
arrested yesterday morning upon a warrant
issued by Wm. Doyle, Notary Public, and
ex-officio Justice of the Peace. By request
of Mr. Purcell, through,. his attorney, the
case—Esquire Doyle assenting—was taken
before Judge Phjnizy, by whom the accused,
who waived an examination, was bound in
the sum of SIOOO to answer before the Su
perior Court at the January term, 1809.

Theatrical.
We sec it stated that the .celebrated play
of “ Black Crook” has been remodelled in
New York, and brought out under a new
name, that of “ Crimson Shield.” The new
play is represented to have a better plot,
but with the same scenery and dancing, on
an improved style.
We would like to see some company make
its appearance in thia city, as we feel confi
dent that a first-class company, by putting
on the boards none but good and legitimate
pieces, could “ make it pay.”

‘•Masonic Orphan’s Hom is.”
g Where is it located ? How many of the
fatherless little ones does it shelter and feed,
elotlje and educate? What Mason, distin
guished for his devotion to the principles of
the noble Brotherhood, is associated with it
in the capacity either of President, Superin
tendent, Manager, or Professor? Will any
one, possessing the information, please in
form us? We know that, somewhat over
two years ago, a Lottery was authorized by
the Legislature of Georgia for the purpose ol
providing a home for the destitute orphans
of deceased Masons—a benevolent and
praiseworthy object; and wc know that
several persons, though very poor previously,
have recently retired from its management
with ample fortunes ; but, so far, we have
been unable to ascertain that a location has
been selected or a brick laid fur the “Or
phan's Home-” Wc make the above inqui
rics in good faith as a public journalist,
conservator of public morals, and a friend
of the poor—especially of those claiming
the protection of the brethren of the Mystic
Tie. We will pursue them further al our
leisure, and show up some of the peculiari
ties of the “Georgia Slate Lottery,”
Keep Yourself Warm,
Within less than one month from to day
there will, perhaps, be many deaths from
careless exposure and want of proper cloth
ing. Many a fatal case of dysentery is
caused by the want of a woollen undershirt,
or an extra blanket at night. The sudden
changes of temperature in this section are
very trying to the constitution. Frequently
the thermometer falls many degrees within
a lew hours. Not only the feeble, but robust
and strong persons suffer from such varia
tions of temperature. When the weather
grows cold rapidly, the pores of the «kin are
suddenly closed, and the result frequently is
a bad cold, which may hold on all Winter
and terminate in consumption, or a fatal
attack of dysentery.
It matters not how warm the day may
feel, at this season of the year it is better to
wear thick underclothing. In the evenings
the dews fall, and the air becomes chilly.
At all times, even when it feels the warm
est, one experiences the difference between
the Autumn atmosphere and that of the
Summer. An occasional fire in a room
dries the walls and purifies the atmosphere.
The grave would be robbed of many “ little
darlings” if the mother would keep the
little feet warm and dry, and use more
woollen stockings and blankets to cover the
little ones.
W ho Want. Io Bet?
As our offer to bet even, on the President
tial election, has nut yet been taken up, we

Brutal Outrage.
The Charleston News of yesterday says ;
“A man named Murphy, who arrived in this
city a few days since from Aiken, made a
liberal display of bis greenbacks in Bogard
street yesterday morning. While lid was
under the influeucuof liquor his companions
endeavored to rob him, but he fought lustily,
and although he was terribly eul up, Kik
nose being split open and his face severely
pommelled, he uiudu his escape. The names
of his assailants are known, and lie will take
out a warrant for their arrest.”
Another Bet.
Editor National Republican—l offer
the following proposition for the benefit of
jubilant Democrats. At the State elections
on the 13th instant, I will bet—
sloo that the Republicans carry Pennsyl
vania ;
SIOO that the Republicans cat ry Ohio;
SIOO that the Republicans carry Indiana.
1 know that Democrats will bet when they
think there is a chance to win ; and
as some of them are boasting ol carrying
the above States, I make this proposition to
test their sincerity. Put up the money,
Democrats, or quit your big talk. Enclosed
you will find the S3OO. You may be aston
ished, Mr. Editor, when you read this, but 1
bet to win. A Democrat.

The Medical College of Breslau, Prussia,
by command of the Government, instituted
enquiries in regard to the purity of Dr. Rad
way’s Pills. The following is a copy of the
report, after a thorough analysis, signed by
Professors of the College :
Hyiorl oj an Analysis oj Rad nay's Regu
lating Dills,
Instituted lor the satisfaction of the
Prussian Government and people. It ap
pears that the great popularity of the Pilis
throughout Germany, as an aperient, anti
billious and alterative medicine, had pro
voked the malice of ifk- apothecaries, who
caused a report to b: circulated that the
ingredients were poisonous. Therefore a
scientific inquisition into their nature and
properties was ordered, the issues of which
was a must triumphant vindication of the
sanitary value of the Pilis.
The Faculty of the College state in their
rejiort that after a careful and minute ex
amination, they have the honor to state that
“ the Pills are not only free from every sub
stance injurious to health, but arc composed
wholly of substances and elements promotive
of digestion, and certain at the same time to
act favorably upon the nervous system,”
etc., etc. They state, further, that the inju
rious rumors set afloat by the Prussian
apothecaries originated “in a mean spirit of
trade jealousy, excited by the great celebrity
attained by the Pills within a very brief
period.”

Movements of Mrs. Lincoln. —Mrs. Lin
coln, widow of the late President, with her
youngest son, after attending the marriage
of Captain Robert Lincoln, her ehiest Sou,
nt Washington, on the 24th till., returned to
Baltimore on the 26th, and took rooms at
Barnum’s City Hotel, where she re
maim d in comparative retirement, being
visited only by a few personal friends, until
Thursday morning last, when she left with
her son and was driven direct to Locust
Point. Here, veiled, unknown jlo the large
crowd on the pier, the widow and son of the
late President went on board the steamship
Baltimore, bound to Bremen. She at once
went to her state-room, and as her name did
not appear on the passenger list furnished
by the agent of the line, (it being withheld,
it is supposed, at the request of the lady)
the fact of her actual departure for Europe
has only become known several days after
the sailing of the ship. Those intimately
acquainted with Mrs. Lincoln aver that her
visit to Europe at this time is for the pur
pose of placing her youngest son at a school
in Germany, after which she will probably
spend the winter in the South of France.

OmitiN or Mahogany Furniture.—A
West Indian captain, about the beginning
of the eighteenth century, had brought some
logs of it as a ballast for his ship, and gave
them to his brother, Dr. Gibbons, an eminent
physician, who was then building a house.
The wood was thrown aside as too hard for
the workmen’s tools. Some tim ■ afterwards
his wife wanted a candle-box. The doctor
thought of the West India wood, and out of
that the box was made. Its color and polish
tempted the doctor to have a uureau made
of the same material, and this was thought
so beautiful that it was shown to all his
friends. 'The Duchess of Buckingham, who
catne to look at it, begged wood enough to
make another bureau for herself. Then the
demand arose for more, and Honduras ma
hogany became a common article of trade.
[Dickens’ All the Year Round.
Cuke for Corks.—The safest, the most
accessible and the most efficient cure of a
corn on the toe, is to double a piece of thick,
soli buckskin, cut a hole in it large enough
to receive the corn, and bind it around the
toe. If, in addition to this, the foot is soaked
in warm water, for five or more minutes,
every night and morning, and a few drops of
sweet oil, or other oily substance, are pa
tiently rubbed in on the end after the soak
ing, the corn will almost infallibly come loose
enough in a few days to be easily picked out
with the finger nail. This saves the necessity
of paring the corn, which operation has
sometimes been followed with painful and
dangerous symptoms. It the corn becomes
inconvenient again, repeat the process at
once.
> ——
Tobacco— By a Small Boy.—Tobacco
grows something like cabbages, but I never
saw none of it boiled, although I have eaten
boiled cabbage and vinegar on it, and I
have heard men say that cigars that was
given to them on election day for nothing
was ’ cabbage leaves. Tobacco stores are
mostly kept by wooden Injuns, who stand at
the doors and try to fool little boys by offer
ing them a bunch of cigars, which is glued
into the Injuns' hands, and is made of wood
also. Hogs do not like tobacco; neither do
I. I tried to smoke a cigar euce, and it
made me feel like Epsom Salts. Tobacco
was invented by a man named Walter
Raleigh. When the people first saw him
smoking, they thought he was a steamboat,
and as they never seen a steam beat, they
was frightened. My sister Nancy is a girl.
I don’t know whether she likes tobacco Or
not. There is a young man named Leroy
who comi sto nee her. I guess she likes
Leroy. He was standing on the steps one
night, and he bad a cigar in his mouth, and
he said he didn't know as she would like it,
and she said, “Leroy, the perfume is agreea
ble. But the next morning, when my big
brother Tom lighted his pipe, Nauey said :
“Get out ot the house, you horrid creature ;
the smell of tobacco makes me sick.”
Snuff is Injun meat made out of tobacco.
I took a little snuff once, and then I
sneezed.
PLANCHRTTE.
A few evenings since, a young gentleman
made a purchase of one ol these curious
tell-tale machines, and repaired to the resi
dence of a young lady to whom he was pay
ing his addresses, with Ute hope that plan
chutte would reveal to him lie had
failed, tor want of courage, to obtain from
his fair dulcinea. After arriving at the
house with the little joker, concealed, apt!
spending a few moments in the parlor in
ordinary commonplaces with the young lady
who had so drawn ttpoii uis warm affections,
he managed to introduce planchette, and
stated that he hail one with him, and if the
young lady had no objections, they would
while away a short time iu testing the pbw
ers of the invisible. Accordingly they ar
ranged themselves at the table, and after
spending some length of time in serious
effort, they succeeded iu receiving answers
flint satisfied their minds that planchette
was but too well acquainted with the affairs
of the world, and what lies in the future.
Emboldened with success, the lady pro
pounded, menta'ly, sundry questions, and
prompt answers were returned.
The sequel to this interview wc give to
our readers as related to us by a female
friend to whom it had been confided, giving
the questions and responses in the order in
which they occurred Asa matter of course
the manipulator being a young lady, her
first inquiry was: “Shall 1 ever get mar
ried ?” “Yes,” promptly ciiuic from plan
chette. “ When ?” “ Two years.” “To
whom ?” “S B .” This was en-
tirely s itisfactory, as it included both the
parties present, and was the consummation
both devotedly wished, except as*to time,
which appeared to be unreisonabty delay
ed. “Shall we be happy? ’ “Perfectly.”
Now followed a question in which the
young lady desired a faithful solution, as it
appeared to her the consummation ol'canh
ly bliss. “Shall wc have children “Yes.”
“Girls and boys?” “Certainly.” “How
many ?” The answer to this the young
lady was anxious to note carefully, as much
depended upon the result. Planchette was
deliberate, evincing no haste, desirous of
making no mistake in the figures, but wrote
with considerable distinctness, “8-c-v-c-n-t,”
when the young lady shoved the instru
ment from her with such force that it fell
upon the floor, and it was divided in half
by the fall. Whether planchette intended
seventeen or seventy was not determined,
and wo presume time alone can discover
the entire answer.— Exchange
THOUGHTS WHILE SEWING—BY
AN OLD MAID.
Men sow wild oats and women buttons.
The shortest way to a man’s heart is down
his mouth.
Man’s love is like the moon : it it docs
not grow larger it is certain to grow smaller.
Man shrinks from cold meat. Does this
arise from man’s innate presunqition of
always ruling the roast?
A man may “do good by stealth,’’ but, as
fur his blushing to “find it fame,” that's al!
nonsense.
Man takes woman with a dowery in the
same way that he accepts the hamper that
brings him a handsome present of game.
Men have two ways of oxtiuguisbing the
flame ol love—they either let it burn out
quietly, or else they snuff it out by one
blow.
In a dilemma, during the time a man has
been standing like a fool, fumbling for an
excuse, a woman will have invente I ten
thousand.
Wives are often foolish enough to sit up
for their huslanids who have not the
patience to sit up for their wives.
How many men arc there who think they
are making themselves exceedingly popu
lar when they are only making themselves
extremely ridiculous.
Men have been pointed out to me who
were said to be great thinkers, I have
watched them and found them wry great
thinkers—men who evidently thought a
great deal, but then it was evidently about
themselves.
An okl maid’s only confidant is her
pillow. All her cares, wrongs and thoughts,
both sleeping ami awake, are confided to
its soft embrace. It is the only depository
and witness of the tears that she some
times sheds over broken hopes. Moro than
this—it is a confidant that never mocks,
never betrays her.
A Texas Duel on Horseback. The
Corpus Christi Advertiser has from a cor
respondent these particulars of a bloody
uud fatal affray which took place on the
west side of the river, above Oakville, on
the 22d ult., between Mr Henderson Wil
liams and Sic Brown, about some beeves
that were turned into a herd against the
wish of Mr. Williams. The latter.claimed
a. thority over said beeves, as partly his
own and partly those for which ho held
agencies.
Some words occurred nt first which
culminated in the drawing of weapons,
which were heavy dragoon six-shooters.
Both parties being mounted, at each sue
cessive shot they charged up closer to their
dreadful work. The firing was very rapid,
and the combatants became enveloped
in the smoke of their weapons, which
were lapped together on the last round.
Mr. Brown's firing was wild, owing, no
doubt, to the fact that he received a mortal
centre shot from Williams’ first fire, although
he sat on his horse firmly, until shot the
third time through the body, which, entering
the heart, he fell a corpse oil the instant.
Williams was unhurt, but his horse was
shot in the head, and was fractious and
unruly during the fight. Both parties had
numbers of well-armed friends on the"
ground, but no assistance or interference
was offered, and the issue was fairly and
squarely tested. Both men were undoubt
edly brave to the last inch, such as would do
honor to any cause, right or wrong. But it
is a sid, very sad thing indeed, that men of
forty years of age must draw their weapons
to decide questions of propriety.

Keeping a Corpse to Satisfy a Deed.—
The body of William Wilroy, who fell dead
in Rocketts on Friday, was carried to the
bar-room of Captain Bruce, to whom the
deceased owed a debt for liquor. On Satur
day the relatives of Wilroy, hearing of his
death, applied for the remains, desiring to
bury them with the family dead. To their
surprise, Bruce refused to let them have the
body un*il the money due him was paid,
and threatened to have it buried in the
poor lot at Oakwood. Wilroy’s friends at
once appealed to Mayor Chaboou, who sent
word that the body must not be detained
by Bruce, and later in the day it was re
luctantly surrendered. Bruce’s is certainly
a novel way *.o pay old* debts.— Richmond

They are such as are made up of two parts
of equal shapes. Look carefully al these,
and you will perceive tint the prop, r halves
of the < liaiaeters are a very little smaller
than the lower halves so littlo that an ordi
dinary eye will declare them to be of equal
size. Now turn the page upside down, and,
without any careful looking, you will see that
this difference in size is very much exagger
ated— that the real top half of the letter is
very much smaller than the bottom half. It
will be seen from this that there is a ten
deney in the eye to enlarge the upper part
of any object upon which it Jooks. W«

From New Orl.aus.
New' Orleans, October B.—The bill which
passed the Senate amending the registration
law, and forbidding the Registrars going
beyond the law, was killed yesterday iu the
House.
There are writs of mandamus before the
courts daily in cas<s of the Registrars re
fusing registration to persons natural
ized in the Third to Seventh District
Courts inclusive. Sines the 3d of July, 1868,
mandamuses in all such cases have been
made peremptory. There are sen ral thou
sand such eases of natui'uliziitioii in this

by the decisions of tho courts, and refuse
registration to each applicant, necessitating
a separate writ, notwithstanding it was stated
in behalf of the Registrars that a ileeisioii
in the test case would be taken as cotielu
sivo in each District C< urt. Judge Cooley
stated thiit a certificate of naturalization had
the effect of a judicial decision, whore cor
rectness the Registrars Lad no right to ques
tion. Notwithstanding some of the Regis
trars, persisting in a refusal of registration,
were arrested and fined for contempt of court,

New York Cotton Kcvletv.
New York, October 5, 1868.
Our market liar been quite active and decided,
ly in sellers' favor. The demand lias been
almost wholly from spinners, who, although
only buying from hand to mouth, arc so bare of
stuck, that their necessities have exceeded the
supply afforded by our receipts. Shippers have
been necessarily out of the market, although
orders are bore fully np to Liverpool quotations.
Speculators have let the market severely alone,
aud contracts for delivery are offered more
sparingly. In cotton to arrive, there have been
a few transactions, but almost every bujerhas
wanted cotton fur immediate use, and to sell to
arrive, it has been necessary to make a con
siderable reduction from spot prices. Dock eot
toes have been les.-, oppressive than of late, the
pressing wants of consumers enabling holders to
obtain the advantage of delivery from the pier.
The clmraetcr of the demand remains ns report
ed last week ; low middlings and middlings
being taken readily nt quotations, while good or
dinarii* and below have been saleable only nt
tow figures. Iho stock of the latter grades,
hov.ever, is insignificant. For fine cettou there
bus. been a g-.od demand a, very full prices; the
boards are bare of strict Middlings and shove,
and tho receipts are poor in quality for. this
season. In transit, there has been only two
transactions, and those of less than one thousand
bales. With the extremely limited amount now
afloat, there can be but little of this business ac
complished. Our stock is probably at the mini
mum of the season at present, but it is ex
tremely diCicult to form a correct estimate ot
how little wo have in warehouse, as a very largo
per ceut.igo of our daily receipts are either on
spinner’s account, or else go direct from the pier
to const luors. Gold has fluctuated widely
during thu week, and tho movemeuts of the
speculators in this commodity have caused
much irregularity in the market fur sterling
exchange, which has be n, on the whole, weak,
and in buyers’ favor. Commercial bills are
abundant, and cover a wide range of quotations.
The rise in United States Securities abroad, to
tho probability of wbroil wo referred in a late
issue, has aided the downward movement in
gold, and tho stringency in money, partially real
aud partially artificial, has been of service to
the speculators fur a decline.
