—ln a late affray on a schooner at
Darien, one of the men was shot bv the
mate. The latter has been arrested.
—Anglers use cotton to catch a certain
kind of fish. That's the way of some
of the young women angle for their prey.
—What is it we all frequently say we
we will do, and no one has yet ever
done ? Stop a minute. t
—Men frequently pay more attention
to re-forming their habits than to reform
ing them
—What was the first woman created
for? Adam’s Express Company. Do
you see the “pint?”
—To destroy rats —catch them one by
one, and flatten their heads with a lemon
squeezer.
—“There is no parting there,” as the
bald headed man sang while he viewed
his pate in the mirror.
—The most unpopular article of fur
niture in the Washington market at
present is the “Freedmen’s Bureau.”
—“What’s whiskey bringing?” asked
a dealer. “Bringing men to the gallows
and woman and.children to want,” was
the reply.
—A Calcutta paper announces the
arrival at that port of a ship from Eng
land, with nineteen lady passengers and
uo quarrel during the passage.
A cotemporary says : “ Judging
from tWwimnber ol marriage notices thill
we see in our exchanges, cradles will be
in demand— arter a while.
—To kill cockroaches —get a pair of
heavy boots, then catch your roaches,
put them into a barrel, and then get in
yourself and dance.
—ls any of our benevolent citizens
have a spare auger hole or a crack in a
garret-wall not occupied by rodent ani
mals, they will be performing an act of
real humanity by giving the use of it to
the “Occasional” editor of the Press.—
Louisville Journal.
—An Arabian having brought a blush j
to a maiden’s cheek by the earnestness j
of his gaze, said to her, “My looks have j
planted roses on your cheeks; who forbids
me to gather? The law permits him
who sows to reap the harvest.”
—ln Sacremento, recently, a woman
procured the release of herbusband from
jail, and that night ran off with another
fellow. Her object in procuring her
husband's release was to leave some one
with her children.
—Ah, Sam, so you’ve been in trouble,

—At the late imperial Carnival ball,

The Candle Fish. — The California
Express says : “This is one of the most
curious members of the finny tribe. It
is caught on the coast of British Colum
bia, where it is extremely common and
proves very useful to the natives. Some
idea may be gleaned from the fact that
the natives use it as a lamp, the light
given being very considerable. The fish,
when dried, has a piece of rush pith, or
a strip from the inner bark of the cypress
tree, drfiwn through it, a long needle
made of hard wood being used for the
purpose; it is then lighted and burns
steadily till consumed. Any one can
read comfortably by its light.'’
Young America Wonders. —Won-
der why mania keeps Bridget at home
from church to work all day, and then
says it is wicked for me to build my
rabbit house on Sunday?
Wonder why our minister bought
that pretty cane with the yellow lion’s
head on the top, and then asked me for
my cent to put in the missionary box ?
Don’t I want a jewsharp just as well as
he wanted a cane ?
Wonder what makes papa tell such
nice stories to visitors, about his hiding
the master's rattan when he went to
school, and about his running away from
the schtiol-mistress when she was going
to whip him, and then shut me up in a
dark room all day because I tried just
once to be as smart as he jyas.
Wonder wliat made papa say that
wicked word when Betsy upset the ink
all over his papers, and then slapped
mv ears because I said the same thing
when my kite-string broke ?
Wonder why mama told Bridget the
other day to say that she was not at.
home when Tommy Day’s mother called,
and then puts me to bed without my
supper every time I tell a lie ?
Oh. dear 1 there are lots of things I
want to know. I wish I was a man 1

PHQ3NIX GUANO,
JMPORTED DIRECT
FROM THE
SOUTH PACIFIC OCEAN
THIS SPRING.
This GUANO was used very extensively
in 1861 with suoh general satisfaction that,
in offering it to tbe planting public now, we
deem it unnecessary to publish any of the
many certificates which we have received
from planters this spring, testifying in the
very strongest terms in its favor. All that
wo can say is to guarantee that we will
pledge ourselves to furnish an article
PURE AND UNADULTERATED,
such as was analysed by Professors Joseph
Jones, of Augusta; Charles A. Shepherd, of
Charleston, S. C., and J. Darby,of Alabama,
whose analyses we publishes in 1861, and
were satisfactory to all.
WE HAVE ONLY
A FEW HUNDRED TONS
OF
THIS WELL KNOWN
AND
VALUABLE FERTILIZER
TO OFFER THIS SPRING,
Consequently we advise all who want any
of it, to
SEND IN THEIR ORDERS
AT ONCE.
It is put up in barrels of about 300 pounds,
and the price will be uniform, as follows :
S6O per ton, of 2,000 pounds, in Augusta,
or $55 in Savannah, cash.
All orders to bo filled from Savannah
must be sent in by the 10th of March.
