It becomes our painful duty to record
a distressing affair which occurred on
yesterday. One of our most promising
young- bucks, being determined to give
his (lulcinea a sleigh ride, alter much
hard work and a liberal outlay of inge
nuity, suctee&d in getliug up a turn
out, which he imagined would make a
sure thing ol the girl’s affection ; ima
gine his chagrin uml horror, when going
at full speed through oue of onr princi
pal streets, bis conveyance suddenly
“ come from together,” senflering the
youth and his package of crinoline all
over that part of town where the acci
dent happened. Balmoral went one
way, waterfall another, corsets snapped
—under the pressure of the cold weather,
we suppose, and the steel flew in every
direction. Bradley’s Duplex Double
Eliptic Back-Action-Hoops were seen
rolling in every direction, propelled by
little invisible c-upids. The young man
fainted, the young lady vanished, and
the latest news we have from the scene
of action, was, that the Drum Major oi
the garri -on here was drumming with
all his might to rally the fragments of
the spattered forces.— Griffin Star.

“Hermes,” of the Charleston Mercury,
writes from Washington: ‘'The opinion
gains ground that Wade, Foster & Cos.
are touring it in the South for a pur
pose beyond that of a Christmas frolic.
If the gritty and cantankerous Wade
returns with the report that he had been
mistaken in the feeling of the South, a
fine opening will be made for widening
the doors of Congress. ‘Reconstruction’
is called for urgently in Wall street, and
here is a chance for an excuse for it.”

LATE OF BERLIN, PRUSSIA.
Important lew Invention l
AUSTRALIAN CRYSTAL,
SINGLE AND DOUBLE VISION
S3 P EOTAOIjES
Ihe (July Perject Lens in Existence!
Superior to any other in nee—constructed
in acrcordanee with the science and philosophy
of nature in the peculiar form of a CONOAVO
CONVEX ELLIPSIS. Admirably adapted to
the Organ of Sight, at and perfectly natural to
the eye, affording altogether the best artificial
help to the human vision ever invented.
Sold only by the Professor of Optics ami
Spectacle Manufacturer.
THE ADVANTAGES of these Spectacles
aver all others, are—
-Ist. The only true Lens known, being per
fectly free from chromatic light, so well known
to be the cause of injury to the vision, and
which makes the change from Spectacles to
Glasses of stronger powers, so often required,
while both near and distant objects arc seen
with equal facility through the same Uiasses.
2d. Can be worn with perfect ease for any
length of time at one sitting, giving astonish
ing clearness of vision, particularly by candle
or other artificial light— comfort to the Spec
tacle wearer hitherto unknown.
3d. When the eyes ache or pain through the
action of a bright light, such as is reflected
from snow, sunny weather, wl.ite paper, and
in reading, writing, or sewing, or vivid colored
bodies, these Lenses, by softening the rays,
effect n most agreeable sensation and give
great relief.
4th. In all nervous affections of the eyes
causing dull and startling pains in the eye
ball or temple, appearance of luminous
and dark spots in the atmosphere, aching
or feeling like sand in the eye, 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 vilal importance, and which no other Lens
possesses.
6tb. Proof of Ftipcrioiity over the old kind
of Spectacles. They are usrd exclusively wt
all the hospitals for diseases of the eye, in
Berlin, Prussia, and elsewhere.
TESTIMONY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
From Medical gentlemen, Professors of tbe
highest Opthalmic talent in Augusta, Ua., and
in the Union :
Arccsra, Ga., December Bth, 1866.
I have examined the Glasses of Dr. Bern
hardt, and find them of good quality. His
testimonials are very numerous and exceed
ingly flattering. L. A. DUGAS, M. D.
Accusta, Ga., Dec 7, 1566.
I do most willingly bear my testimorv in
favor of the superiority of the Australian
Crystal—single and double vision spectacles
over all other kinds. They ore constructed
upon the best established aud understood prin
ciples of optics, ami their adaptalion to the
human eye in its different conditions of vision
is so .perfect, as to render sight cosy without
effort. In my opinion, none others should bo
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 to re
store thu eyes to their youthful energy.
LEWIS D. FORD, M. D.
ArcfsTA, Ga. Dec. 7, ISfiC.
I have examined a great variety of Glasses
manufactured by Professor M. Bernhardt, and
in justice to iho Professor, must say that his
Glasses are of a superior quality, adapted to
meet the wants of almost every eye. where the
vision is in any way impel feet. ; r! c Professor
sell cted for me a pair of his Australian ( rystal
Glasses, which are of a very superior quality
and workmanship, rendering vision very dis
tinct, almost as perfect as in youth. 1 yield
this testimony in favor of the Professor’s
Glassos most cheerfully.
C. C. PRITCHARD, M. D.
' Augusta, Ga., Dee. 7, 1886.
I very cordially recommend Prof. M. Bern
hardt to all who may require Glasses.
DjiSAUSAURE FORD, If. D.
Augusta, Ga., Dec. 7, 186#.
e nave examined the Lenses of l’rolessor
Bernhardt, and consider them superior to any
wc imvo 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.
H e cordially recommend the Professor to all
those who requite scientific optical assistance.
11. 11. BIG NON, M. D
JOHN L. COLEMAN, M. D.
W. 11. DOUGHTY, M. D.
WM. 11. CLARKE,
GREGORY DUGGAN.
ArGi’STA, Ga., Dec. 8,186#.
I have examined the Glasses of Dr. M.
Bernhardt, of Europe, and hare tried them.
They are very remarkable for their beauty of
WO] i kin an ship, and for their power to assist tho
vision. Dr. M. Bernhardt has made Optics
the study ot his life, and is evidently most
thoroughly acquainted with the science.
lie is a native of Berlin, Prussia, and has
studied there, hut has ior several vears been a
resident o! New Turk. The diseased and aged
will find great relief from the use of his Glasses.
I have seen numerous testimonials to iho ex
cellence ot his Glasses, and to Iris skill as an
Optician, and 1 would rcc tutnend him tea
whoso vision is impaired e tber through ace or
disease. JOSEPH K. WII.SUN,
Pastor First Prcstnteriau Church.
Savannah, Ga., Not. 29, 1866.
I hereby eernly that Mrs. Dnveut urt has
been affected with Amerousis lor about two
mouths ; it became almost complete. On the
2d of November last, according t„ my own
advice, she placed herself under tho charge of
Dr- .51. Bernhardt. Her vision has rapidly
improved fslie can now read small print
with or without glufFcs.
J URIAH HARRIS, M. D.
I fully endorse what Dr. Harris has above
s,lld ' w. n. waking, m. and.
Savannah, Nov. 26,1566.
Projettor Jtf. liei-iihardt, Optician ami Oevti.t :
I cheerfully stato to you that a further ac
quaintance, with you and your most excellent
Glasses, lies confirmed my first impressions us
to our .kill and tberr superiority over tho
general run, uud 1 recommend all abco
Vision is iu any way impaired, as mine unfor
