Orders attended to. Stock Feed, Kleptomania. — A curious case in kleptomania is reported in Paris. A lady bought half a pound of fine pre pared wool at a shop at ten francs per ponnd, but popped a leg of mutton be longing to the shop keeper into her bag with it. The action was seen by the master, who politely took away the lady’s bag, and said: “I think my assistant made a mistake—he has given you too much wool. We will weigh it—indeed, the bag weighs seven pounds, which, at ten francs per pound, will be seventy francs. Will yon take the whole of the wool ?" Too glad to fall in with the humor of the shop-keeper, the lady agreed, paid and departed with her leg of mutton, and the shop-keeper sent the ntouey to the poor of the quarter. Th* Sphygmourafh.—This is anew invention for measuring|ind recording, no paper, the action of the human pulse. The principal idea of it is, that the short arm of a light lever is applied to the pulse, aud at the end of the king arm is a very delicate pencil, wWh passes over a roll of paper, which roll moves by clock work, similar to what is seen in telegraph offices. The effect is that, instead of a straight line beihg made on the paper, a wavy one is pro duced by the exclusions and contrac tions of the. pnlse, and this line differs according to the age, health, and disease of the patient. Some very interesting results and discoveries have been made by the use of this instrument, a phe nomena, which it would be impossible to detect in the ordinary way, are clearly written on paper. Romp Congress Appropriations.— The following are the principal amounts appropriated by the Rump Congress: Legislative, executive and judi cial service $25,412,560 Civil aiid miscellaneous service.. 5,720,043 Collecting revenue from customs.. 4,200,000 Consular and diplomatic service. 1,405,400 Indian service 3,071,557 Naval service 18,004,807 Military service 44,237,600 Pensions 15,440,000 Rewards for captures of as sassins 105,000 Various acts for deficiency 2,600,000 This does not include the amounts necessary to pay the bounties under the recent Bounty Law, for which no amount is given, and there are numerous other appropriations made to which no sums are affixed. The Treasury variously es timates the amount required under the Bounty Act at from $60,000,000 to $200,000,000, and other objects for which no specific amounts are given, at from SIOO,OOO to $200,000. Diamonds for All. —The chances at the “Diamond Raffle,” at Kahn & Co’s are being rapidly taken. There are seventy chances and twelve prizes (nine rings and three pins). The highest throw will get the first choice, the next highest tbe second choice, and so on. You may be lucky enough to get a ring or pin for $lO that is worth from SSO to S3OO, who can tell ? Persons from the country wishing chances, can send their money by mail, and they will receive a receipt for the same. . f City Court. —The Court disposed of several cases on the civil docket. They are not of general interest. The crimi nal docket was then taken up and the following cases disposed of: State vs. Moses Butler (freedman), larceny, from the bouse. Verdict of guilty. State vs. Richard Stegall and Paul Leman, assault aud battery. Verdict of guilty. State vs. William Bryant (freedman), larceny from the house. Not guilty. State vs. Isabel McGraw (colored), assault and battery. Verdict of not guilty- Recorder’s Court. —His Honor the Mayor, presided over the Court, yester day. Notwithstanding tbe fact that it was grand levee day, there were only three cases reported and acted upon. A white man, for leaving his cellar door open after 7 o’clock P. M., or sun-down. He was fined $1 and costs. The case against the negro, charged with having committed theft, was dis missed, after examination. Cohen’s. —Cohen holds forth as usual at his well-known stand, on Broad Street, below the Press Office, where he sells everything in his line at prices to suit purchasers. He bas received those White Kid Slippers, and we advise our friends to call and examine them. House to Rent.—Any person want ing to rent a house should apply at this office. Leather. —L. B. Davis advertises a lot of leather, English and French, and Harness for sale. Daily Press.— Mr. J. A. Gurley is our authorized Agent in Charleston, S. C., for the Daily Press. BRAN, Etc. To our Friends and the Public ... Generally. The Daily Press has now been pub lished about eight mouths, and its suc cess has fully equalled the most san guine expectations of its Proprietor; In deed, it bae become one of the institutions of oar city, and, we are proud to know, a .favorite with all classes of our citi zens. It was at first but an experiment, being published as a free circulating paper, and many predicted that it could not exist as such for auy length of time. Our experience has proved the reverse. We can publish it indefinitely in its present size and style, as a free paper, because our merchants and business men hgve learned its,value. as.an adver tising. medium, and with the moderate ness of its advertising rates, has caused them to fully and liberally appreciate it. But some of our "warmest friends and most liberal patrons ljave urged us to make it a “subscription” paper, in order that we might produce it in a style more suitable to the times and the re quirements of the public, by enlarging aud Otherwise improving it. In accordance with this advice, we propose, on the first of October next, at the opening of the business season, to enlarge the Daily Pressl ljy the addi tion Os s'eierAl columns, and lengthen ing them proportionately, so that the addition will be equal to TWO IpXfJES of the present size, or twelve of our pres ent columns. We shall also publish the latest telegraphic news; and more particular attention, even than at pres ent, to our editorial, general news, and local columns—thus giving additional interest to our jourual. -• -Greater facilities - -will also be fur nished to our advertising patrpas in the increased space, latest styles of display type, and all the advantages of modern improvemeut. For all this we shall charge only the moderate sum of Five Dollars per Annum ; Three Dollars fo r Pix Months ; and Two Dollars for Three Months. This, we believe, wiH enable all who desire to take a newspaper to do so, at a trifling expense. They will get all the latest news of the day, editorials on leading subjects, interesting locals, and miscellaneous reading matter generally, in a neat journal, printed on large and clear type. Anew press has been or dered for this purpose, and is now on its way hither. It is our intention to make the Daily Press every way worthy of public pat. ronage, and worthy of the City of An gu-ita; and if our friends will only sus tain us, as we have every reason to be lieve they will, we shall succeed in pre senting them with such a paper, at a price which will place it within the reach of all of our citizens. Our country friends should send in their Subscriptions at once. Address E. H. Pughe, Publisher Daily Press, Augusta, Ga. Perry Davis’ Pain Killer. —lt is not likely that the popularity of this celebrated medicine will in any meas ure decrease, or that the demand for it will in the slightest degree decline, until some other specific for allaying pain and curing the various ills for which the Pain Killer is used shall be discovered of equal potency with it—of which there would seem to be little probability at the present day. We understand that tbe cost of some of the ingredients of which the Pain Killer is composed lias very much increased since the commencement of the war, though the price of the medicine has been but very little advanced. Indeed, it is not only one of the very best and most reliable medicines in use for nu merous ills, but it is also one of the cheapest. Asa remedy for stomach complaints at this season, or any season of the year when they occur, we regard it as of the very highest value ; and we speak from experience when we say this, for we have repeatedly tried it, and invariably with the happiest results aud the greatest satisfaction. When various other things failed, and we were grow ing alarmingly worse, we have taken the Pain Killer and found it to work like a charm. Three doses—half a teaspoonful each in a wineglass of water or milk, with a little sugar—has effectually cured us when quite unwell. —Providence Advertiser. f —A disgusted “reb,” in the Valley has had a commission sent him as cap tian of a militia company,recently formed in his county. He returned it with the following endorsements: Headquarters in the Field, Aug. 2. Respectfully returned, disapproved. D—n Governor Pierpont, and bis Virginia militia! —A woman will tolerate tobacco smoke in a -man she likes—and even says she likes it: and yet, curiously enough, how she dislikes it in a man she dislikes. For Sale by Magistrates’ Court. —The following cases were investigated before W. G. AVhidby, J. P, 123rd District, yesterday. State vs. Louis Low,, colored, trespass stealing fruit from orchard. Committed to jail to await trial at next County Court. In Be. Edward W. Blease. Com mitted to await an examination. Cellar Doors.—There is a good number of cellar doors in this city which need to be repaired. Let those interested examine into the condition of their cellar doors, so that the law re lating to the subject be complied with. Foul Chimnies. —Now is the time to burn chimnies out. Foul chimnies are dangerous, and in dry weather cannot be cleansed by burning, without the risk of settiflg fire to the house. Burn them out while the weather is favorable. Those in want of groceries, dry goods, hardware, furniture, hats and shoes, etc., should attend the sale of those en terprising auctioneers, Day, Russell A Benjamin, this morning, at. 9J o’clock.
