A Beautiful Sentiment.
An “engagement” ring worn by a
young lady of Boston, bears on its
inner surface this inscription: “Each
for the other, and both for God.” How
much better oft’ human kind would be
if we only followed out the above sen
timent.
Not Very Creditable,
To see young, middle-aged, and old
men button-holing negroes at every
street corner, for the purpose of try
ing to influence their voting. Our
Democratic friends, but a short time
since, would have been ashamed to en
gage in such a business.
NhirtlcMM.
In the reign of Charles I, of Eng
land, a Mayor of Norwich actually
sent a fellow to prison for saying that
the Prince of Wales was born without
a shirt. We know several full grown
men in this city who are shirtless
now.
Important to Voters.
Irving’s Code, section 4,484, reads
as follows: “If any person shall
hereafter buy or sell, or offer to buy
or sell a vote, or be concerned in buy
ing or selling a vote, or shall unlaw
fully vote at any election which may
be held in any county in this State,
such person shall be indicted for mis
demeanor, and on conviction, shall be
punished by imprisonment and labor
in the penitentiary for a term not less
than one year nor more than four
years.
Trv It.
When a man is out of humor be
should go out of the house, take a
turn or two up and down Broad street,
or, what is better, saw about half a
cord of wood. This will make him
feel better, and likewise improve his
looks.

City Court.
This Court met yesterday at the
usual hour, Judge Snead presiding:
Two cases were up before the Petit
Jury and disposed of.
The Grand Jury returned one true
bill, and also returned four other bills
as being too insignificant for the at
tention of the Jury' and Court.
Several foreigners were naturalized
yesterday.
This being a national thanksgiving
day, the Court has adjourned till to
morrow morning at 10 o’clock.
i
Graud Tournament.
Yesterday a grand Tournament was
held at Lafayette Race Course, near
this city. There were an exceedingly
large number of jxjrsons in attendance,
two-thirds of whom were ladies. The
stands on the course were filled with
the fair ones, and many were forced
to witness the sports from their car
riages. The actors were dressed in
the ancient Knight-Errantry costume,
representing many characters of whom
the general reader is familiar. The
Knight of the “Black Prince,” Dr. 11.
T. Campfield, bore oft' the first honor,
which was well won by hjm, and no
doubt ho feels highly elated at having
the honor of being the fortunate
Knight to perform the pleasant duty
of crowning the “Queen of Beauty” at
the ensuing coronation Ball.

Southern Life Insurance Co.
Mr. J. H. Miller, well known as
as a first-class Insurance Agent, has
been appointed General Agent for the
above Company, with his headquarters
at Augusta.
General John B. Gordon is Presi
dent of the Atlanta Department, and
its Directors comprise some of the
most prominent gentlemen in Georgia.
This fact ought to recommend it to
\ confidence and patronage of our

A Word of Advice.
The game of the Democratic alias
the People’s Party Ticket, is to try
and carry the municipal election by
boasting and bragging. They know
full well that defeat awaits them on
Wednesday next. Let the legal
voters, who are in favor of the Work
ingman’s Ticket, go quietly to the
polls and deposit their ballots for the
whole ticket in each Ward, find our
word for it, you will elect nine mem
bers of Council, sure, and your Mayor
by over six hundred majority. Mark
the prediction, and stand firm.
Death es a Printer.
A private dispatch was received in
this city yesterday morning from Ma
con, conveying the sad intelligence of
the death of Mr. Henry J. King, in
that city.
We have known the deceased inti
mately for more than thirteen years,
and can truthfully say, in him was com
bined the gentleman and friend—
always ready to forgive where he had
offended, charitable to all, kind in dis
position, and generous to a fault.
Farewell, Henry; it is our sincere
hope that you have found a peaceful
rest in the home beyond.
The Houghton Institute.
It gives us sincere pleasure to learn
that this excellent Institute, under the
intelligent and energetic superintend
ency of Mr. M. V. Calvin, is fast
attaining to the exalted position in
the estimation of the people of Au
gusta which its reverend founder
hoped for. It now numbers over
three hundred active pupils, besides
some sixty in the night school. So
rapidly, indeed, has the number of
pupils increased that it has been found
necessary to add two assistant teach
ers since the opening of the present
term—on the first Monday in July
last. The last assistant appointed by
the Mayor is Miss Mart E. Holli
day, daughter of Mr. Eli Holliday,
of this city. There are now six
teachers employed, and the number
will be increased as the necessities of
.the school requires.
The Night School is a new feature,
and was inaugurated by Mi - . Calvin
purely through his love of teaching,
and from an ardent desire to impart
instruction to - those of his young
friends whose straightened circum
stances will not permit them to attend
the Day School.
The Superintendent and his corps of
assistants will be glad to have the
patrons of the Institute and their
friends to visit, the school at any time,
from 8| a. m. to 12 m., and we would
most respectfully urge them to do so.
Let all our citizens visit the Institute
at their convenience, and thus encour
age both teachers and pupils.
Important Telegram*.
The Associated Press agent at Wash
ington, D. 0., telegraphed all over the
country, noon yesterday, the following
very important items of news:
York—-Larkin ©’Baldwin’s backer killed
by proprietor of Campbell’s Oyster Saloon.
Our readers, of course, will regret
to hear of the distinguished gentle
man’s death. His friends, however,
in this section, will take particular
care they do not patronize the “oyster
man” when they visit New York.
Paris— Temps, Tribune, Journal de Paris,
RccieUe & lavenim cited for promoting sub
scriptions for Bandin management.
The importance of the above dis
patch will appear as clear as mud to
the intelligent reader; therefore, we
will not insult their intelligence by
attempting to explain it.
Memphis—Reynolds alleged horse-tliief
hung near Holly Springs after filially wound
ing man who attempted arrest him.'
What a thrill the above item will
create in the nation’s heart! Poor
fellow, his many, many friends all over
the States will regret deeply his un
timely end!
Cleveland—Sewer caved in last night kill
ing 2 injuring 9—digging for others.
This last item caps the climax. No
doubt in the world that the killed aad
wounded refer to those nasty vermin,
rats, which arc known to infest sewers.
We hope that in “digging for others”
they have a good supply of terriers on
hand.
The above telegrams are published
merely to show the miserable trash
sent over the wires throughout the
country, and on subjects in which no
new spaper reader has a particle of in
terest.

Dau Castello’s Circus.
The Savannah Republican of yes
terday says: The immense pavillion
of Dan Castello was again crowded
in every part last night by all ages,
sexes and conditions. All seemed de
lighted with the performances, which,
in point of fact, is of the first class in
every respect. The bareback riding
of Mr. Sebastian and his little pupil
is a wonderful- feat, and is of itself
worth the price of admission. Mr.
Castello preserves perfect order,
and admits nothing into the establish
ment that is vulgar or calculated to
offend. For this he is entitled to credit,
and the we observe, are giving
him liberal encouragement in his
efforts to elevate the amusement of the
ring.

Simplicity la Idviitg,
The necessities of life arc compara
tively small. It is the luxuries that
count heavily on the purse. To pro
cure the latter men make themselves
the most abject slaves. Nature calls
for water which costs nothing; man
for champagne at $7 per bottle. The
former is always good and salutary ;
the latter is. When we go back to
simplicity in these matters we shall
go forward to a really better style of
living, and appreciate that better which
the Lord has provided for our main
tenance.
The Fashions.
The conference of German ladies,
held at Stuttgart, has decided to or
ganize a commission of painters, doc
tors, tailors and modistes, for the pur
pose of suggesting new, artistic and
appropriate toilets. This is a wise
move, provided they decide on some
dress beside the Grecian Bend style.
We wish the German ladies success in
their endeavors to bring about a re
form in their toilet, and would sug
gest that some of our Southern belles
be consulted in regard to this matter.

Wash Thyself.
A Boston newspaper thinks it would
be well if al! the human race conld
have at least one Turkish bath each
week. We know of some folks here
abouts that would take more than one
washing a week.
Stay at Home.
Since the papers began to agitate
the propriety of eating donkey meat,
many young men in this city, so it is
said, have feared to venture upon the
streets after nightfall, dreading the
abattoir.—A r . i. Mail.
We would like to know if the editor
of the Mail includes himself among
the Btaysat-homes.

The Fashionable Young Man.
Harper's Bazar, speaking in de
fence of that sex which is so often ac
cused of extravagance in dress, turns
the tables by describing the brother
of the fashionable young lady. It
says :
Os course he smokes, plays billiards, and
scorns tectotalism. With cigars at a quarter
of a dollar each, a dozen a day for himself
and friends, is a moderate allowance—total
three dollars a day. With billiards at fifty
cents a game, and the accompanying liquors,
lie would not be likely to spend less than five
dollars every time lie indulged in this pre
eminently healthful exercise, and the ‘drinks’
which cement modem friendship, at every
chance meeting, will fill up the remainder of
the ten dollars per diem expended in these
innocent pleasures. Dress, dinners, fast
horses, and amusements, will certainly dou
ble this sum, and supply any blanks in the
first calculation, making an expenditure of
over seven thousand dollars a year for our
fashionable youth - an estimate by no means
overdrawn. ~ If, in addition, he is addicted
to betting, gambling, and kindred vices,
there is no limit to his prodigality, any more
than to the diamonds, laces, or ’camel’s hair
shawls, whicli are needed to eke out the
meagre thousand a year wherewith his sister
can barely clothe herself.
U. S. Circuit Court—Judge Er
skine Presiding—Tuesday, Novem
ber 24, 1868. —The Court opened at
10 a. m.
Case of George W. Hatch, of New
York, vs. Bank of Commerce, camo up
on demurrer. Stone for plaintiff, and
Lloyd and Ferrill for defendants.—
Defendants demurred to the counts
1285 to 1290, inclusive; also, 1396,
1408, 1425, 1461, as in these the word
dollars was omitted in the copy of
plaintiff’s declaration which was served
on the defendant. Court overruled the
demurrer, as the error was purely a
clerical one, and the case went to trial.
Colonel Stone opened by reading (as
the papers were very voluminous) the
opening and a few of the first counts,
and also the closing count, with the
prayer for process. After which, he
was sworn, and testified, that on the
24th of May, 1866, at the banking
house of the Bank of Commerce he
presented the bills, now' shown in
Court, to G. B. Lamar, the President,
who said he had nothing to do with
the Bank; and to John C. Ferrill, the
Cashier, who said he was not Cashier,
but Assignee, and might pay ten cents
on a dollar after awhile, if permitted
to do so; that witness then, in the
name of Hatch, demanded specie for
the bills, and said ho would take green
backs for them. Plaintiff’s counsel then
offered the package of bills to defend
ant’s counsel, J. C. Ferrill, to examine
, and compare. He did so, and found
the count of $25,000 correct, the bills
representing that amount. After a
brief hearing, the Court charged the
jury to find a verdict for plaintiff for
$25,000, and twenty-five per cent,
damages, and interest on the principal
debt from the time of demand. Court
then adjourned.
[Savannah Advertiser.
The Pope’s Abmy.—At the last
council of the Pope’s Ministers, the
question of a reduction of the Ponti
ficial army was discussed. Cardinal
Antonelli represented this measure as
a necessity, the stoppage of the annual
subsidy from Spain having crippled the
Papal Exchequer, and rendered it un
able to support the present force.
General Kanzler, on the other hand
maintained that a reduction of the
army would not only produce a bail
effect on the Catholic w’orld, but would
operate as an encouragement to the
revolutionists. He further contended
that it would be impossible to repel
the volunteers who were flocking from
all parts to the Pontificial standard. A
warm argument was going on between
the General and Cardinal Antonelli,
when the Pope suddenly exclaimed:
“Enough about soldiers! we have too
many of them.” This is understood to
have settled the question.

“Wickedest.”—The word “wick
edest” is becoming more and more
nopular—so popular in fact that it bids
fair to supplant the usual personal
names which .figure in shop windows.
We have all read about the “wickedest
bill-poster in Now York ” we now sec
the “wickedest necktie” offered for
sale in a Broadway window. We
studied it some time ami thought we
discovered some semblance of tho
hangman’s knot in the very neatly
folded silk, but are not certain that
the inventor had any such brilliantly
appropriate an idea. The “wickedest
hat in New York” was first offered in
an up town fashionable hat store a few
days since. It is rather jaunty in ap
pearance, with the brim well" turned
up and the crown a little inclined to
ward a sharpened cone, though narrow
ly round. The “wickedest paper col
lars” are not yet out—when they ap
pear thep arc to be worn a little too
small fdr the neck, with a tendency to
choke. Tho “wickedest pair of pants”
in New York, have not yet appeared
in public. They are worn by a lady
on Ffth Avenue, but she always leaves
them at home when she appears in
society with he husband. The “wick
edest” brand of cigars have been offer
ed in the market as real imported Ha
vannahs. They are made in Connecti
cut. It is not true, as reported, that
Gen. Grant has made arrangements for
the entire product of the factory, at
wholesale rates, for his private use—
though the proprietor has arranged for
an enlargement of his establishment
after the fourth of March.—A\ KAftol.

WONDERFUL FrEAK OF NATURE—
A Girl with Two Heads. —One of
the most peculiar freaks of nature ever
exhibited anywhere may now be seen
at Ames’s Museum, on St. Charles
street.
It is a young negress, about four
teen years of age, with two distinct
heads. Both heads are perfect in form
and feature, each resting on a separate
neck, side ami side, facing to the
front. The two faces are similar in
feature :md expression, and what is
most wonderful is, that there seems to
be a separate and distinct brain organ
ism, for the girl can hold conversation
upon different subjects at one and tho
same time. She is very bright and
intelligent, reading and writing with
accuracy.
Two gentlemen were conversing
with this wonderful girl yesterday at
the same time, when the one address
ing the right head made some ludi
crous remark, which threw that head
into a paroxysm of laughter, while
the face of the left maintained an ex
pression of the utmost seriousness.
While there is a dual formation of the
head, there is but one trunk, the girl
eating and drinking with both mouths
alike.
A number of our first physicians
have visited this girl and expressed
wonder at her peculiar organization.—
N". ()• Picayune.
Blood Tells.—lt is often said that
blood tells. This is more than slang.
It does tell. Look at it when actively
circulating in the human veins. What
does it not accomplish ? All success
ful men and women have vigorously
stirring blood, ft is such that carry
on and up the world. Blood tells—we
reckon it does, and a good story.
Look at that young woman’s cheeks,
a mine of fresh roses and the milk of
honey—what a blood to tell there!
Look at that young man, ruddy to the
eyebrow's—blood tells of an active,
productive life ; of live men and women
taking hold of all manner of earnest
and good and noble things. Blood is
a great thing. Pure and good, it is
life; bad and sluggish, it is death. It
tells. It works. It accomplishes.
Scared, but not Hurt.—Some
years since (says the Boston Traveller)
an accident occurred on a railroad not
many miles from Boston, and the
second-class car rolled down an em
bankment. The railroad officials, as
soon as [sjssible, hastened after it,
doubtless expecting to find the occu
pants dead or fatally wounded. After
considerable difficulty they succeeded
in opening a door, and discovered a
native of the Emerald Isle leaning up
against the casing. With unmistaka
ble signs of agitation, he addressed
one of them as follows: “Can I come
out now, sir ?” evidently under the im
pression that the rolling over and
over was part of the programme. Ile
was speedily extricated, and ran away
from the scene as though a sheriff’ was
in pursuit.
A new Occupation for Indians.
—A gentleman in Cleveland, Ohio,
who has travelled among the Indians
and noticed their love of bright colors,
proposes to induce them to manufac
ture their own blankets. He asserts
that when the Indian women adopt
such employment the men will see the
utility of wool-growing, which will
then "become their occupation among
the valleys and mountains of the Far
West. Through such industrial pur
suits the Indians, it is believed, can be
induced to supply the wool needed by
the manufacturers.
Longevity in Georgia.—TheJVbrtA
Georgia Citizen says, Mrs. Joannah
Langston, of Gilmer county, has ar
rived at the age of 105 years, and said
to possess remarkable health, is quite
cheerful and very interesting. She has
lived to see her posterity, “even unto
the third and fourth generations.”
She now has living in this State, two
hundred and fifty-eight lineal descend
ants, and one hundred and twenty in
other States; in all three hundred and
seventy-eight. A good old age.

The Florida Issue.
Tallahassee, November 25.—1 n the
Supreme Court, this morning, Lieutenant-
G oyernor Gleason was granted further time,
until 4 p. in., to show cause why a writ
should not be issued. Immediately after
which, the Court adjourned until 10 a. in.,
to-morrow, out of respect to Gen. Waddy
Thompson, and to allow the members of
the Bench and Bar io attend his funeral.
Advisory opinions were delivered this
morning on the questions submitted by
Governor Reed, a few days since. The
opinions arc unanimous, lengthy, and well
fortified by precedents and authorities, and
sustain Governor Reed’s position; decide
that no Lcgislarurc assembled under Gov
ernor Reed’s proclamation for a special
session, and that if there had lieen a legal
Assembly, that the form of impeachment
was irregular, ami not in accordance with
law or precedent; declares that the mere
passage of resolutions of impeachment
does not impeach.
A colored Senator, who was present,
states that when the articles of impeach
ment were presented to the Senate, so
called, there was not a quorum of members
in attendance.
There is little doubt but that a writ of
quo warranto will be issued, but arguments
for and against, under rule a tn, will begin
to-morrow’, and may continue for several
days.

Chief Justice Chase.
Richmond, November 25.—Chief Justice
Chase, in his order to-day, dispenses with
the test oath for Grand Jurbrs. He ex
plained that it was the additional oath
prescribed by Congress which was to be tak
en, unless the Court, in its discretion, direct
otherwise. He added that scruples at
taking it were expressed by some of the
Grand Jurors knowm to be among those
best qualified for the responsible duties of
this position, and which have induced us
to inquire whether the public interests now
demand that the taking of it be required ;
and we are satisfied that, while the mat
ters affirmed it as a proper cause of chal
lenge in particular causes, the ends of
justice will be hindered and defeated,
rather than promoted and secured, unless
some special occasion shall demand it. No
such special occasion now exists, and inas
much as the required number of Grand
Jurors have not yet been sworn, we will
order that those, who have been sworn be
discharged, and the Marshal willl summon
another Grand Jury in the usual manner.
