Abortive Actronomy.
The Ron nd Table, a literary slasher
weekly paper of New York City, is rather
severe npon I’rofcasors Newton and
Loomis, of Yale College, because their
predictions of the “falling stats’’ tailed.
The Professors anmmnced the time of
the shower of meteors, and people stuck
their noses against frosty window panes
to see the show ; but the “shower" did
not count to time—the meteors didn’t
meet —and the only result was, that the
people who stuck their noses against
frosty panes, lost their rest and got
colds in their heads for their pains. For
this failure, the Round Table censures
he Professors soundly, and berates their
system of educating the young men
who study the abstruse sciences within
the Academic groves of old Yale. Now r
we have no particular interest in Yale
College, nor any special regard for the
learned gentlemen who preside over the
scientific instruction of its students;
but we can see no reason why scientific
men should be censured because of mis
calculatious in regard to natural occur
rences. The revolutions of the earth,
the eclipses of the sun and moon, the
occultations of the planets, and other
events in nature happen with such uner
ring precision that there is no difficulty in
calculating the time and phases of the
occurrence ; but comets are rather er-
ratic, and their return to given points
within their respective orbits, may be
retarded by one cause or another, and
cannot, therefore, be calculated with
the same mathematical precision as the
other events to which we have referred.
Why should it not be so with the return
of meteoric showers ? Astronomers
may calculate that the earth passes the
meteoric zone within the 13th, 14th,
and 15th days of November, every thirty
three years; and yet some cause, as yet
unknown to science, as in the case of
comets, may advance or retard the
time, a day, a week, a month, or a year.
And again, the “shower’ as it is called,
may have occurred within the hours of
daylight, or while the sky was overcast
with clouds, or on the other side of the
earth; and in either one of these con
tingencies it would not be visible at the
time announced. Suppose a predicted
eclipse should be obscured by a cloudy
sky, would it be just to say that the
astronomers had made a failure, and
that there was no eclipse ? We opine
not. Then neither is it just to abuse
the astronomers for the failure of the
meteoric shower in the present year; or
to charge certain professors with exact
ing too much from their students, and the
said students with reeiling their lessons
from IBooks opened on desks behind
them, or irom notes written on' their
wristbands. There is no reason why
this failure should be made the occa
sion of such a charge; and if it be
true, it is as little creditable to the
young men who practice it as it is to
the Professors who exact so much more
than will fit the capacities of the young
men themselves. If the abstruse
sciences are taught in the colleges, they
should be properly taught, and those
whose minds are qualified to grasp
them and to'retain them, will be beue
fitted by them, while those who trust to
such devices as are above charged, will
never learn anything. The Professors
must do their duty, but students must
do theirs also ; and where this is the
case there will he no occasion for such
slashing criticisms as sometimes grace
the columns of the caustic Hound
Table.
Georgia Legislature. —The profes
eions and avocations of the members of
the Georgia legislature are classified
as follows in the report compiled by
Messrs. Oberiin and Cameron :
In the Senate, there are—Lawyers
18, Physicians 6, Farmers 12, Ministers
4, Merchants 3—Total 44.
In the House, there are—Hankers 1,
Physician* 15, Farmers 64, Planters 30
Lawyers, 30, Hotel Keepers 2, Mer
chants 11, Mechanics 2, Timber Cutter
1, Clerk of Court 1, Distiller 1, Miller 1,
Minister I—Total 109.
Keeping a.nd Settling Coeeek.—
The following appears valuable: “For
one pound coffee, take one egg and heat
it well. When the coffee is nicely
browned and cool enough not to cook
the egg, pour the egg over it, stirring it
until every kernel is coated as with a
varnish, and let it stand a few titillates
in a warm place’ until it dries. This
will prevent the escape of all aroma, i«
not affected by moisture, and the egg
helps to settle the eoffee when it is
ground and steeped.”
Financial Relief
The two greet \Mtnt* «1 the Booth are
capital and labor.; Yiyrieus (Jans have
bce|» suggested point* ; and
some of -thgn ptetty finely discus*#!.
In (eganl to tire financial relief of the
South, the Charleston Mercury, of a
late date, suggests the foHowing t
“Abolition of the esury law*. Let
bank*, not of issae, bat of discount and
deposit, be authorized by the Southern
Jvtate legislature*, to any amount the
want* of the State require. Let the
stos-kholder* be liable to ouly the amount
of their debt. It Mgs, also, that it may
be objected to fiuch bank*, that they will
not afford for the currency they use any
security beyond their capital. 'I his is
true; but this currency, will hare the
same .'cenrity a* hanks of ie*ue. Sup
pose for instance, what we presume will
be tbe ease, that the stock subscribed is
paid in. iu the currener of the national
banks. This currency has bonds of the
United States, lodged in tbe Treasury
of the tTuittd States, to support it. It is
just as good, after being put out iuto
circulation, when used by one bank as
another. The banks we propose to
establish, will use the currency which
the national banks secure. The na
tional banks make it good, not only by
the slock of the United States deposited
in the Treasury of the United States,
hut with all their other mean* of pay
ment. The national bunks buy tneir
currency by the United States bonds.
The batiks wc propose, will use it.”
Bale Rope Iron Ties.
The cxtensiva>qfctroduotiou of iron
ties in the baling of cotton, and its com
petition with bale ropo for the same
purpose, has elicited an unusual interest
among planters and cotton dealers, as
also with rope spinners. The following
extract from a letter just received by
oue of our merchants now in New York,
on the subject of “ Tare on Cotton,”
and the article copied below, will doubt,
less interest those engaged in the cotton
or hemp trade :
I have made inquiries relative to the
question of tare on cotton when baled
with hoop iron, and I find that all the
large brokers and cotton dealers are
much prejudiced against the use of the
iron, though but little cotton so baled
has as yet been received here. 1 saw in
Boston several of treasurers of the
largest mills, who state that they will
not buy cotton bound with the tie, unless
the actual weight of the iron is deducted
as tare. I was also informed by a large
manufacturer that in striking of the
bands there was great danger of fire,
and that one or two mills had been
burned from that cause. Cotton bound
with iron is also more easily damaged,
as in case of its becoming wet, the iron
rusts and rots the bagging, and the cot
ton must be re-baled. There is no doubt
but that there will be a tare, and a
heavy one. W.
The question of iron ties for cotton
bates has been before the planting com
munity for the past year, as also before
the war. Ever mindful of saving a
penny, the New England manufacturers
have come to the determination to
exact direct tare on all cotton which
they purchased with iron hoops. This
appears to be confirmed by the follow
ing communication:
IRON HOOPS AND COTTON.
To the Editor of the New Orleans
Times ;
I have noticed the increasing use of
hoop iron as a substitute for rope in
baling cotton, with some concern, for
the reason that I believe tbe interest of
the planters and shippers will be greatly
prejudiced thereby. Already I am in
formed that account sales have been
received from the Eastern and foreign
markets, showing a special tare to offset
the ties, hut this is perhaps only a be
ginning of the evil. I am entirely
satisfied that, by the time the cotton
season fully opens, the general use of
the iron tie will result in establishing a
system of actual tare on cotton. We
all know that the manufacturers are
not slow to take all the advantage they
can get, and it seems to me that they
are playing into their hands in this
matter, as they already intimate that
they will not pay forty or fifty cents per
pound for useless iron, and the higher
price that cotton may reach, the better
this point will hold.
I am informed of other objections
to their use—the difficulty of sampling
to advantage, the liability to break,
especially in cold weather, and besides
the actual cost to the planter at present
prices is about tbe same for either arti
cle. Hemp rope is now selling at greatly
reduced prices, and the cost to the
planter per bale is about the same as
for iron hoops; this is not generally
known to the planter, as the price has
been much higher and orders come to
factors for ties only. The fact should
not he lost sight of, that rope is of
Southern and Western manufacture, and
made from hemp grown on Southern
and Western soil.
For every pound of iron ties the price
must be sent abroad in Southern gold,
as the hoop, or the irou ol the ties made
here, is an important article. Should
the use of iron hoops lead to the system
of actual tare on Cotton, the evil would
he very serious and damaging. I sub
mit these communications to those
interested.
According to the present price of bale
rope, it is a profit to the planter to use
rope instead of iron hoops. Hie rope
and cuttings (gin at all times be applied
to Home practical u*e, also can the cov
ering or baling on Cotton for the
making of paper and other numerous
application*, while iron ties or hoops
are comparatively useless. If the New
England manufacturers nrice obtain
regular tare on Cotton, they will never
relinquish it . New Orleans Times.

FESTIVAL.
The evening was ushered in very in
auspiciously for this festival, which re
minds one so forcibly of the days of
“ lang syne.” It has been some years
since we attended such an affair, be
cause for the last six or eight years
such things have been not. It is pleas
ing to know, that we are not so demor
alized as to have forgotten how to deport
ourselves on such an occasion. Not
withstanding the inclemency of the
weather, at an early hour the spacious
reception rooms were filled with those
who were invited, and a few that were
not. “Bright-eyed beauty” was .there,
in robes of snowy white, elegant water
falls, nnd extensive “duplex elliptical
skirts ;” ga v beaux and fancy gallants
graced the scene ; white haired age,
and superannuated bachelors, for an
evening, forgetting that their charms
had vanished, as the snows of numerous
winters had whitened their heads, also
presented themselves. Suffice it to say,
the inestimable and courteous occupants
of the “ Mansion” were all that could
be expected of hosts. Meats, sweat
meats, and every *• goody ’ of the season
were in profusion—plenty for each, for
all, for every one.
Many incident* of a personal char
acter might he related, hut time and
.space forbid.
The scene nt the final breaking np
was ridiculous in the extreme. Ap
proaching the hat rack, “Waiter what
have you done with my hat ?’’ “Don’t
know mussa ; what kind of hat were
your'n?” Disappointed individual—
“A fine, nc v heaver—one of Beebe’s
best—cost $5.00 by the case in New
York.” Colored individual—“Massa,
a I that ’seription of hats been out since
'lcven ’clock.” Disappointed individual,
picking over the lot of lints yet undis
posed of, chooses one of the best, and
wends his way homeward, a wiser, hut
a poorer man—while not a few went
home bare-headed, which last did not
happen to Shoddy, who carried his old
wool hat under his arm, or in his side
poc e LG'i°.
The Guano Supply. —lt is announced
from the Chinch* Islands, that the
guano is so rapidly disappearing, that,
in tbe course of a few years, the supply
will he exhausted, and those Islands be
again given up by man to tho aquatic
birds of tho Pacific. The average num
ber of vessels engaged in loading guano
is stated at ninety.
A Ohost.—The inhabitants of the
western part of Chicago are in a sad
plight between loss of sleep and fears of
a ghost, said to have made its appear

% DAVIS’
*l|jpP PAIN
Killer.
Opinions of the Press, Clergy, Etc.
We irill make a /etc short extracts fro m
the many Testimonials tee have received from
time to time, unsolicited .
From Editors.
The New York Examiner, says:
Every mother and housekeeper must often
act as a family physician in the many ill
nesses and accidents that occur among chil
dren and servants. For many of these cases,
I have used Davis' Pain Killer, and consider
it an indispensable article in the medicine
box. In diarrhoea, it has been used and
effected cures. For cuts and bruises, it is
invaluable.
The Editor of the Christian Advocate,
says:
It is a real pleasure to us to speak favorably
of this article, known almost universally to
be a good ami safe remedy for burns and
other pains of the body. It is valuable not
only lor colds iu the winter, but for various
summer complaints, and should be in every
family.
A. D. Miller, Editor of Messenger, Glen*
Falls, N. Y., says :
There is no medicine at the present day I
value so highly as Perry Davis’ Vegetable
Pain Killer. I have used it in my laiuily
for years; in every instance it has proved a
sovereign remedy. I tested its qualities
to-day on a severe burn, and found it
that could be desired.
Mr. John Jackson, of tho Calais Adver
tiser, writes :
I know it to be all it is recommended,
having used it in my family six or seven
years.
The Salem Observer says .
No article of medicino ever attained to
such unbounded popularity and extensive
diffusion. It has penetrated to every
even the most remote, of the known world,
bearing with it its healing influences more
potent than those of the spices of 4< Araby
the blessed.” We aro informed by our
principal druggists, that they sell more of
this article for exportation than of any or
all others, aud that the demand is constant/
increasing.
The Cincinnati Nonpareil , Nov. 14, 1549,
says:
Seme of our most prominent citiiens ana
business men strongly recommend it to tbs
public as an article of great merit and virtue,
and that they never knew any medicine to
bceome so deservedly popular in so short a
time.
From Clergymen.
Rev. J. C. Boomer says :
I havo used Perry Davis' Pain Killer with
great success in cases of cholera infantum,
common bowel complaint, bronchitas,
coughs, colds, eto., and would cheerfully
recommend it as a valuable family medicine.
Rov. J. Q. Stearns, says :
I consider it tbe best remedy I ever knew
for dyspepsia.
Rev. Edward X. Fuller says :
I have witnessed the beneficial effects of
your Pain Killer in cases of dysentery and
cholera morbus, within a few months past,
and would cheerfully recommend its use to
tsuch as maybe suffering from similar dis
eases, as a safe and effectual remedy.
Rev. A. Webster, Editor of the Christian
Era, writes:
I have used your Pain Killer for many
years in my family with much satisfaction* 4
