Frous. —The preparation of the am.
nhibious article of focal is a sight, and
not a very pleasant one, any morning in
the Milan market. The process is as
follows: A number of old women sit
upon low stools, having before them a
basket nearly covered with a coarse,
wet cloth, and on their left hand a sack.
The sacks contain green frogs, middle
sized animals, with long legs and speck
led bodies. The left hand dives into
the sack mid fishes out a frog, which is
forthwith decapitated by means of a
knife or a pair of small shears, in form
like those of a shepherd. The next
thing is to get rid of the skin. The
frog evidently does not belong to the
family of tight-skinued animals, for by
a single dexterous twitch the green coat
is reversed and stripped off to the very
tips of the long lean legs, and the flayed
carcass is cast into the basket. This,
one might suppose, would be the close
of Troggish struggles upon earth, but,
horrible to relate, the tenacious vitality
of these ampliibitc—muscular, let us
hope, but not sensitive —survives both
skiuning and beheading. In the basket
the frog’s corpses, mingled in a semi
transparent, gelatinous mass, quiver and
wiggle, aud occasionally seem to be
wrestling with each other, while from
time to time an individual of tough vi
tality and active habits, actually hops
headless from the torture basket, and
perching his ghastly little frame on the
edge of the damp canvas which partly
covers th* receptacle, grins horribly at
his executioner out of his open throat.
Imagine one of Dante's miserable souls
suffered to spring for a moment from
eternal pangs, and to slake his thirst
and quell his fever in a cool stream be
tween flower grown banks. To the un
fortunate frog the wet cloth is, perhaps,
equally refreshing.— London 'limes.
The Woks o f Hairdressing.—
“Know then, sir,” the .maiden began,
drawing a deep sigh, “that I am cursed
with a luxuriant head of hair, whose
color is that of the setting sun.”—
‘Some,” I muttered, “would call it
blessed to be thus endowed. It is the
fashionable color.” “Worse luck,”
said the maiden, in tones of despair.
“That accursed tint is the cause of my
persecution. My paternally kind but
professionally cruel father has woke me
in the dead of night and seized me by
this golden hair—” “To beat you,
maiden?-’ “Nay, sir; to dress my head
ala something, anew form of coiffure
which had arrived from Paris while I
slept. When I have been coming to the
most deeply interesting part of a novel,
he has rushed into the room and insist
ed on my trying on a chignon. He
takes me from my tea to practice the
double roll upon me. When I am
ready dressed to go to the play, he pulls
my hair down to try anew form of
bandeau. At all hours of the day and
night I am liable to be curled, and
frizzed, and plaited, and powdered. In
sickness and in health, in joy and in
sorrow, I must yield my head to his
ruthless but skilful hands. I know no
rest. For months I have slept with my
eyes open.’* “With your eyes open,
maiden?” “With my eyes open. It
was the consequence of having my hair
done a Vlmperatrice. It was pulled
back so tightly that l could not shut
them. It was not until the negligee friz
came np that the muscles relaxed.
sir, you know not what I have suffered—
what I have sacrificed I”— Dickens All
the Tear Round.
A Lawyer’s Defence. —Among the
traditions of Westminster Hall is one ot
a Sergeant Davy who flourished some
centuries back, in a darker age than the
present. He was accused, once upon a
time, by his brethren of the coif of hav
ing degraded their order by taking from
a client a fee in copper; on being
solemnly arraigned for his offence in the
Common Hall, it appears, from the un
derwritten reports of the Courts of Com
mon Pleas, that he defended himself
by the following plea of confession and
avoidance : “I fully admit that I took a
fee from him in copper ; and not only
one, but several; aud not only fees in
copper,but in silver; but I pledge my
honor as a sergeant, that I never took a
fee from him in silver until I had got all
his gold, and that I never took a fee
from him iu copper until I had got all
liis silver—and you don’t call that a de
gradation of our order.”
Proximity. — A poetaster brought
Addison one of his compositions, and
begged his opinion of it. It was a
copy of very indifferent verses, and they
appeared the worse, because he had pre
fixed to them several lines from Homer,
and thus exposed them to a very disad
vantageous contrast. Addison, with
great warmth, struck out the lines from
Homer; and when the suiprised poe
taster asked the reason. “Do you not
recollect,” said Addison, “the Roman
emperor, whose status appeared to him
very ridiculous when they were placed
near those of the gods ?”
The Ladies. —Parasols for the Fall,
following in the march of luxury, have
coinc out more fancifully adorned than
at the Spring opening. They are small,
lined with white, or some contrasting
color, and ornamented with feathers and
marabouts. A black silk parasol has a
row of black and white feathers near
the edge, and one not far from the top.
A purple silk is trimmed with white
marabout, and a blue silk, with blue and
white. They are prelty, but expensive.
Another Falsehood.—The state
ment was made, a few days ago, by the
New York Tribune and other Radical
papers, that Senator Doolittle was very
coldly received on his. return to his home
in Wisconsin, and that he was not
allowed to address the people. The state
ment was false. Mr. D. was most cor
dially welcomed home, and was atten
tively listened to for the space of three
hours, while he demonstrated the wis
dom of the policy of the Conservatives.
The Question of Greatest Concern
to the People of Georgia. .
We have fortunately come into pos
session of the published proceedings of
the Texas Teachers’ State Convention,
held at Houston, on the 4th of July, the
present year. From them we learn that
a collection of excellent text-books
were adopted, and recommended for
use in the public schools of that State.
A memorial on the subject of education
was ordered to be presented to the State
Legislature. That memorial contains,
among others, the following well-stated
truths which are as happily adapted to
Georgia as to Texas :
“The question of greatest concern to
the people of this great State at this
time is—How shall theehildren of every
citizen be best educated? The labor
question is one vital to the physical com
fort of society, and rightly answered,
may lead to such a development of the
material resources of this great Com
monwealth as will enrich its population
for ages. Education, if it may have
much to do with the right solution of
that question, has more to do with its
right direction than all other possible
considerations.
" The development of the South de
pends upon educated mind. Considered,
therefore, merely iu its connection with
convenience, comfort, riches, and pleas
ure, education occupies the most ex
alted position, as the key to prosperity
and success. But the safety and integ
rity of society, the preservation and ad
ministration of the constitution and laws,
all depend on cultivated mind. Virtue
and kuowledge are the pillars of liberty.
Iu {heir absence, or with their decay,
civil liberty degenerates into despotism,
and republican law is substituted by the
tyrant’s will. The preservation and
maintenance of our rights, the peace
and honor of public life and of domestic
altars, depend upon the harmonious
development and expansion of the moral
and intellectual powers of each and
every individual citizen.
* * * * * *
“ How shall every citizen be educated
to the best advantage ? It will not be
denied that the State, as a State, and
each citizen, as a citizen, should, in
their several spheres, foster and promote
the education of the rising generation.
If so, what, should the State do ?”
The Texans recommend the establish
ment of normal schools in their State, for
the qualification of teachers for their
great work. The Georgia Legislature
might, at its next session, with a great
degree of propriety, give thought to the
project of building up such schools in
this State. We hope that some public
spirited Senator or Representative will
agitate the question on that occasion.
Murper. —Last night, between seveu
and eight o’clock, an unknown man was
found in the vacant lot behind the Pres
byterian Church. His pockets were
rifled of their contents. He was taken
to the Police Office, where he died at
nine o’clock. The unfortunate man
was about 0 feet 8 inches high, had dark
hair and moustache; had on black coat,
hickory shirt, and dark cassimere pants,
and appears to be about 23 years of age.
It is supposed, from the appearance of
the blow over the right eye, that it was
done with an axe. His remains will lay
at the City Hall, during this forenoon,
for the purpose es identification.
Newfoundlandßahies. —The Heart's
Content correspondent of the Boston
Journal says: “What amuses one at
first in one of these houses i3—the in
evitable baby, or the twins in arms.
There is a baby in every house, and
scores of children everywhere. But all
the babies are of the same age. To be
sure, as the young lady remarked,
‘babies are always in season ;’ but did
it not seem strange that they should
all be born about the same time at
Heart’s Content ? The life of the fisher
man may probably account for this
‘infant phenomenon.’ At this season,
for instance, all the boys, and nearly all
the able-bodied men, are at Labrador.
They are absent all Summer. They
return in fall. And this annual crop of
juveniles, as Tony Weller remarked, is
‘the cousekans ot that ore movement.’ ”
The Future of Dull Boys.—Pa
rents should never despair because their
children give little promise of eminence
in early life.
Douglass Jerrold was considered a
dull boy; at nine years old he could
scarcely read. Goldsmith was a very
unpromising boy. Dryden, Swift and
Gibbon, in their earliest pieces, did not
show any talent. The mother of Sheri
dan, herself a literary woman, pro
nounced him to be the dullest aud most
hopeless of her sons. The father of
Barrow is said to have exclaimed : “If
it please God to take away any of my
children, I hope it will be Isaac.” The
injudicious parent regarded the lad as a
miracle of stupidity, but he afterward
proved the glory of his family.
Turnips. —In Newberry District, S.
C.,the weather is reported to be remark
ably propitious for the growing turnips,
potatoes and small grain. The turnips
are growing luxuriantly.
Fire. —The fire nlarm sounded yes
terday, was occasioned by the discovery
of a fire in the establishment of Wyman
& May. No damage done.
Dress Making. —lt will be seen by a
notice elsewhere appearing, that Mrs.
E. Brown has removed to 135 Broad
street, where she will attend to orders.
Young Ladies Wanted. —Mrs. E.
Brown wants several young ladies in
her dress-making establishment.
—We are informed that Mr. Beecher
has been discarded in the fraternity list
of lectures. We have heatd of an
angry man who bit his nose off to bite
his face.

TnE Education of Indigent Or

plate organizing a Society, having for
its object the education of the indigent
orphaus of that city.
There are a great many indigent or
phans in Augusta, whose education is
greatly neglected. Would it not be well
to organize a similar Society here ?
Wno Would Have Thought It?—
Some miserable thief, having neither the
fear of God before his eyes, nor the
public weal at heart, a few days ago fe
loniously appropriated from the office of
the Macon Journal & Messenger, while
being moved, a white felt press blanket.
And have we come to this that even
press blankets are not safe ? t

Fancy Articles, and Millinery
Goods, all of which she sells at low
prices to suit the times. Ladies, step
into Mrs. Pughe's and see for your-f
selves. .
The Empbess Shoe is undoubtedly!
one of the handsomest and best made
shoe ever seen in Augusta. If ladies
like their feet to look pretty, they will
not hesitate to go to Cohen’s and try th*
Empress Shoe ; and if other kinds nr®
preferable, he has auv kind wanted.
Meeting To-Morrow Evening.—*
