New Book.
Ai.EXAsnKK li. Stephens in public and
private, with betters, Speeches, etc.
We have received a circular, to
gether with specimen sheets of a work
under the above title, edited by our .
talented citizen, Henry Cleveland, Esq.. j
and to be published by “The National
Publishing Company." of Kichmoud, i
Virginia. It promises to be an interest. :
ing volume, and gotten up in a hand- !
some style of typography.
The publishers say in their announce- j
meut that “Mr. Stephens has given his j
consent to, and approval of, the prepa
ration of this work. The writer has had
free aud unrestricted access to ail of bis
literary treasures, consisting of valuable
documents, and the correspondence of
thirty- years with the great intellects of
the Union. He also speaks with grati*
tude of the kind assistance rendered by
Mr. Stephens in the preparation of the
book. The proof sheets have been care
fully examined by him; therefore the
reader may rely on a work not only
perfect and complete in all matters in
which the reading public can feel an
interest, bnt also strictly accurate in the
most minute details. No one before
has undertaken a full portraiture of this
most wonderful man.
It is the first attempt to depict both
his public and private life, especially
that nobler nature which is not revealed
in the combats of the hustings : aud in
this volume the student ot biography
will be well rewarded for the pleasant
labor of its perusal. Many letters and
papers appear in this work which have
been gleaned from the most important
correspondence of the war, and have
never before been accessible to the his.
torian. Those Southern readers who
remember the author as editor of the
Constitutionalist before the war, or who
recollect his letters from the army, will
welcome this new production—his long
connection with the Southern press
having gained for him the reputation of
being one of the most elegant and able
writers in this sunny laud. The thou
sands who look upon the great Southern
statesman as only eclipsed in splendid
oratory by his private virtues, will need
uo other attraction than the name of
Alexander H. Stephens.”
The book will contain about 800
pages, and will be sold only by sub
scription. Agents are wanted in every
county to conduct the sale of the book.
It wdl soon bo ready for delivery, and
agents should lose no time in making
their applications.
Houghton - Institute. —On Thursday,
the 20th inst., the exercises of the School
were suspended for the Chrisinas holi
days. The attendance during the ses
sion has been quite full in both the
boys’ and girls’ departments. In the
boys department the average attendance
has been seventy-one in the morn
ing, and in the afternoon about sixty
three. The greatest number present at
any time during the session was eighty
three. The attendance in the girls
department Las been about the same as
in the boys. The number on the roll is
over one hundred in each department.
On Thursday, just before the dismis- ;
sion of the School, the Principal of the
boys department presented prizes to
those of his scholars who had been most
perfect in their recitations and most
punctual in their attendance during the
session. The names of the boys to
whom prizes were awarded are as fol
lows :
l'rom the more advanced classes,
Master 0. \\ . Calvin, first prize j and
Master W. 11. Stubbs, second prize.
From the smaller clauses, Master Win.
Sc’nwcigcrt, first prize; Master W. F.
Osborne, second prize; and Muster K.
F. Carey, third prize. After the distri.
billion e! the prizes, school was dismissed
until the first Monday in January, to the
great delight of “Young America,” who
anticipate a fine time during the Christ
inas holidays.
The prizes given on this occasion
were line English itibles, handsomely
bound. They were presented by the
Principal, Mr, Joseph T. Derry, in a
few appropriate remarks.
Dr. Parr was not very delicate in
the choice of his expressions when
heated by argument or contradiction,
lit nice called a clergy man a fool,.who,
indeed, was little butter, 'bite clergy
man said be would complain of bis
usage to the bishop. “Do,” said the
doctor, “and my lordship will confirm
you."

! The city of Chicago is a place of
; immense sire-. The State of Illinois ,s
!i„ Chicago, hut it ''“'‘ld hardly be
! ,„„ u *d there unless you were looking
j for it particularly. Although I.nke
Michigan is a pretty big lake, yet, owing
to the stupendous dimensions of the
! o j lr , it barely serves the Chicagoans
! purposes of a bathing tub. They
sre running a tnmiel under it to bring
water from Lake Huron for drinking
purposes. Everything w on a big
scale there—some of their biggest nu-r
rhauls are “scaly.” The Tremout
House is also the biggest hotel in the
world. The Sherman House is also the
i biggest hotel in tho world. There are
I several other hotels there that are the
j biggest in the world.
New York and Philadelphia regret
j exceedingly that they are so fur from
! Chicago. It interferes materially with
i their growth and future prospects,
fhev are endeavoring to have lightning
trains run through from Chicago, with
i out stopping, so that they can have
I Chicago papers at the earliest possible
! moment. The Chicago papers arc the
1 most enterprising papers in the world,
i In order to get ahead of all others, the
morning papers are published the night
before, and the evening papers are got
out before breakfast. This gives them
an immense advantage.
They hail a Gri o Driving Park at
Chicago, which did a driving business —
| drove the life out of a man the other
| day. He was a driver, guilty of the
i heinous crime of driving the fastest
J horse. As he was about to drive ahead
; in the final heat, some ono let a fence
, hoard drive at his head, which settled
■ him. It settled the Driving park also.
People found fault with the board, and
wouldn't patronize the Park.
! Chicago is a great place for elevators.
There is more corn elevated in Chicago
i than in any other city. It is more in
j the juice than in the kernel, however,
j The principal business of the city con
sists in getting up ‘Gift Enterprises.’
They get them up, aud then ‘git’ with
all the money.
An enterprising citizen of the city of
Chicago, named Crosby, devotes liis
j time and money to building immense
| and costly Opera House to be ’raffled’
I for. lie is ready to fill any orders for
Opera Houses, that may be sent in from
neighboring cities. Country orders at
tended to with promptness and dispatch.
I He keeps a stock of Opera Houses 011
hand constantly, from the one cylinder
Opera House, to be run by hand, to the
one thousand horse power Opera Houses,
to be run by everything. To show the de
mand there is for his Opera Houses, he
finished a first class one recently, and
there are thousands of people waiting
to get it.
Chicago is a very windy town. There
is probably more blow about that place
than any other in the world. In com
parison to the “ blows ” the dreaded Si
moon is only Simoonshine. The ele
ments are combined to form a monster
ear trumpet, tiie little end of which is
inserted in the public ear, and through
it all Chicago blows tiie praises of that
wonderful city, until it makes the public
head ache—actually “splitting tiie ears
of the groundlings.”
The people up there are surprised
and indignant that the shore end of the
Atlantic Cable is not fastened in Chica
go, and think steamers for California,
Europe, etc., would do a great deal bet
ter to sail from thence.
Great town.
All Humbug. —From our infancy we
have always tried to emulate the virtues
of some grout man. When quite young
a second reader fell into our hands and
being struck with the peculiar beauty ot
tiie story of George \\ ashiugton and the
cherry tree, we thought we would try
something of the kind. As we could not
lay hands on a hatchet, and as our axes
were too heavy to lift, we looked about
us for something else. Our parental
ancestor had a very large drake of the
Muscovy breed, which lie prized very
highly. An idea struck us. We would
catch this fowl anti pull all the feathers
out ot his tail. Any ling to provoke
'“the old man.” T his deed was no soon
er thought than done. Next morning
our sire took his accustomed stroll
through the yard. Imagine his horror
on beholding his favorite curtailed of its
I plumage. We were called up and
questioned about the matter. “Father,
I cannot tell a lie, I pulled that duck’s
tail out.” “You did, eh 1” then followed
one of the worst reprimands we remem
ber receiving. We concluded that all
fathers didn’t think alike. So you see
boys its all humbug about patterning
after great men .—Mobile [Ala.) Time.::.

A Bully Eye Doctor.
A gentleman tells us the following
story, and vouchee for it aa having ac
tually occurred to himself. Some years
ago he lost an eya, and having a taste
for comely personal appearance, he had
the loss of the member atoned for liv the
insertion of a glass eye. Ihe counter
feit was a perfect counterpart ol the
other, and, except those who were told
of the tact, none would have Imagined
him to be the “ bully Imv with the glass
eve.” Two or three weeks ago the
seeing eve begun to inflame, and know
ing, by sad experience, the danger of
neglecting a sore eye, he determined to
consult an oculist, and not knowing which
was the proper one to go to, was unfor
tunate enough to tall into the hands of a
man who practices the profession, but
who, until within a short time, had been
engaged in the butchering business-
Calling upon the “celebrated oculist and
aurist, ’ told him that his eyes were
afflicted with disease, and ho feared he
would lose them. The quack examined
the optics and pronounced them an easy
cure. 111 fact, he would heal them up
at a low figure, only ten dollars a week
for treatment.
“What do you think of my left eye,
Doctor?” asked our friend, whose faith
was not very strong.
The Doctor examined the left optic
very carefully for several moments, and
then said, “I find the epithelium slightly
opatic, with considerable subcutaneous
conjunctiva in the cellular retina of the
corneal sehirrhosis.”
“Can the thing ever be cured ?”
asked the patient, who was convinced
that the fellow was an unmitigated
humbug.
”Oli, yes, I can cure that in n very
short time, I have some vegetable acid
which 1 extract from a plant known
only to myself, which will render that
eye perfectly well in three weeks.”
“Do you realy mean to say that 1 can
see out of that eye again? for to tell you
the truth, 1 have not been able to see
out of it for a long time.”
“To be sure I do, just as well as I do
out ot mine. This ’ere vegetable acid
of mine is really wonderful ; there are
not many eyes that can resist it. It fixes
them all.”
“Then you can go ahead upon that
one, and if you fix it all right, 1 will let
you attend the other one.”
The Doctor took out a large syringe,
filled it with his vegetable acid, and ap
proached our friend for the purpose ol
making an application,, when lie raised
his hands to his eye, opened the eyelids,
took the glass optic from the socket,
and handing it to the operator,said :
“Doc, I haven’t time to stop for treat
ments, you can keep the eye here, and
as soon ns you get. it to see, 1 w ill call
and get it.”
The occulist’s “pheelinks” can be
better imagined than described.
The Next hei.ugk. —A French work,
recently published, maintains that,
every 10,500 years, the waters of the
sea pass from one pole to the other,
submerging and overwhelming, in their
passage, the earth and all its inhabi
tants. According to the author of this
theory, M. Paul Jotivencel, the last of
these deluges occurred 4,500 years ago;
the next one is due in 6,000 years more.
M. Jouvencel recounts this great cosmi
cal drama with the vigor and pictorial
effect of an eye witness. Six thousand
years—sixty centuries—then, only, are
left to us wherein to do our whole world’s
work, and to complete and perfect the
civil.zation which has yet hardly dawned
on the greater number of mankind ]
Sixty oid men may touch hands across
the interval between the present moment
and the last hour of the world as it ex
ists ; then all will be finished, all con
sumed, all will disappear! The sea, for
10.500 years, in its immeasurable depths,
will crusli out our history and leave
nothing of it all but a few fossils 1 So,
at least, says M. Jouvencel.— -Exchange.
After reading the 19th chapter of
Genesis, from the Bth to the 17th verse
inclusive, the reader has a right to de
termine whether or not M. Jouvencel is
to be believed.

a sharp, quick stroke through the
whole length of the dish. Heat them in

AUSTRALIAN CRYSTAL,
SINGLE AND DOUBLE VISION
SPECTACLES
The. Only Perfect Lens in Existence]
Superior to any other in nse—con stratus
in acceordance with the science and philosonh
of nature in the peculiar form of a CONi AVri 7
CONVEX ELLIPSIS. Admirably adapted o,
the Organ of Sight, and perfectly natural n
the eye, affording altogether the best artificial
help to the human vision ever invented. *
Sold only by the Professor of Optics and
Spectacle Manufacturer.
THE ADVANTAGES of tbe>e FwcUtle,
over all other*, are—
let. The only true Lens known, Ui n g j* r .
fectly free from chromatic light, po well known
to be the cause of injury to the vision, and
which makes the change from Spectacle* to
Glasses of stronger powers, so often required
while both near and distant objects are rten
with equal facility through the same (jjaseer
2d. Can be worn with perfect ease fur any
iength of time at one sitting, giving astonish
ing clearness of vision, particularly by caiuLe
or other artificial light—comiori to the Bptc
tacle wearer hitherto unknown.
3d. When the eyes ache or pain through the
action of a bright light, such ns is reflected
from snow, sunny weather, white paper, and
in reading, writing, or sewing, or vivid colored
bodies, these Lenses, by softening the rav§
effect a most agreeable sensation and gj ve
great relief.
4th. In all nervous affections of the ereg
causing dull and startling pains iD the eye
ball or temple, appearance of lutninoui
and dark spots in the atmosphere,
or feeling like sand in the eve, the disturbed
nerves are quieted and soothed.
sth. Ground by peculiar machinery, got up
at great cost, mathematically calculated ex
pressly for the manufacture of this Lens, so as
to produce it with the true spherical accuracy,
and its focus is at the exact centre, a point
of vital importance, and which no other Lens
possesses.
6th. Proof of Superiority over the ol<i kind
of Spectacles. They are used exclusively at
all the hospitals for diseases of the eye, in
Berliu, Prussia, and elsewhere.
TESTIMONY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
From Medical gentlemen. Professors of the
highest Opthulmic talent in Augusta, Ga., and
in the Union : v
Augusta, Ga., December Stb. 1566.
I have examined the Glasses of Dr. Bern
hardt, and find them of good quality. Bis
testimonials are very numerous and exceed
ingly tlattering. L. A. DUGAS, M. D.
Augusta, Ga., Dec 7, 1566.
■ I do most willingly bear my testimony in
favor of tho superiority of the Australian
Crystal—single and double vision spectacles—
over all other kinds. They are constructed
j upon the best established and understood prin
ciples of optics, and their adaptation to the
human eye in its different conditions of vision
l is so perfect, as to render sight easy without
effort. In my opinion, none others should he
used, since the eyes once used to those do not”
seem to grow old, and by having a focus at
any point of the surface, they appear tore
store the eves to their vouthful energy.
LEWIS D. FORD, M. D.
Atgusta, Ga. Dee. 7. ISfifi.
I have cxnmjntd a great variety of Glasses
manufactured by Professor M. Bernhardt, sad
in justice to the Professor, must say that his
Glasses are of a superior quality, adapted to
meet the wants o* almost every eye. where tho
vision is iu any way imperfect. The Professor
selected for uie a pair of his Australian Crystal
Glasses, which are of a very superior quality
und workmanship, rendering vision very dis
tinct. almost as perfect as in youth. I yield
this testimony in favor of the Professor’s
Glasses most cheerfully.
C. C. PRITCHARD, M. D.
Augusta, Ga., Dec. 7, 1566.
I very cordially recommend Prof. M. Bern
hardt to all who may require Glasses.
DkSAUSsURK ford, m. and.
Augusta, Ga., Dec. 7. 1566.
We have examined the Lenses of Professor
Bernhardt, and consider them superior to any
we have seen. They are admirably adapted not
only to improve the imperfections of impaired
sight, but to relieve the weariness of vision
which constant study produces. Many of the
Glasses are of new and ingenious contrivance.
We cordially recommend the Professor to all
those who require scientific optical assistance.

WM. H. ULAIiKE,
GREGORY DUGGAN.
Augusta, Ga., Dec. 8, 186fi.
I_ have examined the Glasses of Dr. M.
Bernhardt, of Europe, and hare tried them;
They are very remarkable for their beauty of
' workmanship, aud tor their power to assist the
vision. Dr. M. Bernhardt has made Optics
the study- of his life, and is evidently most
thoroughly acquainted with the science.
tie is a native of Berlin, Prussia, and has
studied there, but has for several years been a
resideut ot Now kork. Tho diseased and aged
will find great relief from the use of his Glasses.
I have seen numerous testimonials to the ex
cellence of his Glasses, and to his skill ns an
Optician, and I would recommend him to ail
whose vision is impaired either through age or
disease. JgSEPH li. WILSON,
Pastor First Presbyterian Church.
Savannah, JG a., Nov. 29, 1860.
I hereby certify that Mrs. Davenport has
been affected with Amorousis lor about twe
months ;it became almost complete On the
2d of November last, according to my own
advice, she placed herself under the cliar-e of
Dr. M. Bernhardt. Her vision has rapidly
improved. She can now read small print
with or without glasses.
J URIAH HARRIS, M. D.
I fully endorse what Dr. Harris has above
sald- w. N. WARING, M. D.
Savannah, Nov. 2fi, ISP B.
Professor M. Bernhardt, Optician amt Oculist:
1 cheerfully state to you that a further ac
quaintance, with you and your most excellent
Glasses, has confirmed my fust impressions as
to your skill and their superiority over the
general run, and I recommend all whose
vision is in any way impaired, as mine unfor
tunately is, to avail themselves of your scitr.ee.
Respectfully, yours,
