Tot:u.\ auant lx Buuk b. —The gal
lant Knights and ‘‘ladies fair” of the
neighboring county of Burke, had a
tournament, a short time ago, which is
felicitously described by “Katie W.,”
in a letter to a City paper. There
were thirteen Knights, as follows:
“Knight of the Leopard." of thu “Golden
Circle," of “Burke," of “The Bleeding
Scarf,” of •‘•The Crimean Scarf,” of
“Leipsic,” of “The Count of Robert of
Paris,” of “The Golden Cross,” of “The
Lost Cause,” of “The Lone Star,” ol
“Don Faudango,” of “The Iron Spurs."
After five trials, the Knight of the
“Lost Cause,” in grey Confederate
armor, was announced the victor. It
was his province to choose a Queen ol
Lore and Beauty,, attended by four other
Knights, who were, from their skill,
entitled to choose Maids of Honor. '
The “Lost GfWe” presented a wreHth
of crimson lilies to Miss Anna W ,
ol Augusta, Queen by right of Beauty,”
and if. not ol Love, she ought to be.
We doubt not some favored one will
yet find a Winter in Georgia all that
dreams can picture or a poet sing. The
“Golden Cross” chose the first Maid of
Honor, Miss Jessie C——, of Augusta.
The Knight of “Burke” chose the
second, Miss C ,of Burke. The
“Lone Star” the third, Miss Katie
C ,of Augusta. And the “Golden
Circle” the fourth, Miss Mollie J , of
Brothersville.
The Knights then dismounted, and
each leading his chosen one to the
throne, gallantly placed a wreath upon
her brow.
The occasion was one of rare enjoy
ment. Kett—Knight of the Magic
Bow—was there, and discoursed a per
fect flood of gallops, solos, and
mazourkas, for the beaux and belles of
the occasion. Then there was a supper
at the mansion of Wm. Sturgis, aud
everything incident to the occasion
passed off in the most tasteful and en
joyable manner.
Hei.p3 to Loyalty. —Gen. Eaton, of
Nashville, and Judge North, of Knox
ville, have been enlightening the Goth
amites on the progress ol loyalty in
Tennessee. Eaton, who is editor of the
Post, a Radical sheet at Nashville, said
one of the main things needed (of
course) was the liberal co-operati m and
support of the Union press. Will the
people of the North never learn that the
most effective agency for preventing the
growth of a true Union sentiment at the
South is the violence and indiscretion of
the so ea!led loyal papers of the South?
They have, almost without exception,
deviled themselves to the circulation of
exaggerated or false reports of the state
of society, in order to extend, if possible,
tlie tenure of military power, that the
officials of the military and Bureau
might render their carcasses safe among
the people they have slandered. They
have apparently sought to make them,
selves obnoxious, in order that they
might go whining over the North, as
this fellow Eaton is doing, begging for
sympathy and material aid in supporting
their mischievous journals. We are for
peace and conciliation—but wc pray so
be delivered from the peace proposed by
such disciples as Eaton, and the crew of
wandering martyrs who are trying to
make peace for us on the torch and tur
pentine basis.

State IjKGKl.atureh. More than
half the Legislatures ol the country are
now in session. From the despatches
which appear in our columns from day
to day, and from the details which reach
us by mail, We find that they are devo
ting themselves more to their tinaucia!
nnd material interests than to national
politics. Many of them, however, seem
singular oblivious to their own laws
and urge the enfranchisement of the
negroes of the ‘’rebellious Slates,” us the
paramount question of the day. The
ignorance, folly and malignity displayed
on Ibis question, will, a few years hence
bo looked upon as the marvel of the
» o '°> and a reproach to our civilization.
Fooxd i» a Cathedral Spibd.—On
Wednesday evening a smell boy west
to the office of City Marshal Pet. Dillon,
and informed him that a robber waa
then hidden in the Cathedral, up iu the
spire. The Marshal at once went iffbund
to the building indicated, and under his
guidance ascended the dusty flight of
steps far .up iuto the spire, under the
qlock, where the hoy had seen the man
that day as he (the boy) was up in the
steeple to try and catch some pireons.
Ae soon as they got up there, the man
made an,attempt to escape, and hid,
but lifter a search they found him, and
the Marshal brought him down aud put
him in jail.
His name was Samuel Reardon. He
had been, so be stated, living in the
steeple for seven weeks past, and had a
bed there, and provisions, water, etc.,
sufficient to last him Several weeks. He
had managed to steal the keys of the
Cathedral when they were painting it
some months since, and had managed
to escape observation by going out and
and ccmiug in during the night, when
he no doubt prowled around fur plunder.
—Louisville Courier, Dee. 21.
Cows in Switzkrlasd.— Dr. Prime
thus narrates how the Swiss use their
cows: In the lieautiful city of Zurich,
the most enlightened, cultivated, and
refined city in the interior of Switzer
land, where the most learned of her sons
are educated, the city of Zuingle, aud
Lavater, and Pestolczzi, and that boasts
a monument t 6 Nagal, a university and
polytechnic institute—in this fair city I
met a team composed ol a horse and
cow, harnessed side by side, drawing a
heavy load, the driver walking by the
side of the cow, whose side was in welts
raised by the stout whip which he car
ried, and used mainly on her to make
her keep up with the horse. It is more
common still to see a single cow in har
ness, drawing a load, and a yoke of oxen
is a sight that I have very rarely seen
in travelling hei'e. Whether the males
are more generally sold for beef or not (
I cannot learn ; but it does not appear
to any one here that it is out of the way
to make this use of the cows. And I
was rather pleased than otherwise, in
conversation with a great and good
philanthropist and reformer, to find that
he professed to be ignorant of the fact
that cows were put to such service.
Goon for Cheatham. —The Nash
ville correspondent of the Missouri
Republican, who sat near Ben Wade
and General Cheatham at the recent
Congressional banquet at Nashville,
gives the substance of what the gallant
son of Tennessee said to that rough old
bear, Wade, of Ohio. He assured the
Senator he was a law-abiding citizen, in
whom he thought the Government might
repose confidence. Yet he wished it
understood distinctly he came to his
duty with no sobs and tears of pretended
contrition. He was quite twenty-one
when he eulisted as a fighting rebel and
was not a seduced innocent. But he
was defeated and surrendered, and now,
the Government for which he had once
fought with a foreign foe, could not have
from him a flood of sniveling protesta
tions, like those of a cudgeled urchin,
but simply a soldier's word of honor.
A Joke on Prentice. —The Louis
isville editors keep up a regular enfila
ding fire on Prentice- now the Democrat
—then the Courier —but strong in his
entrenchments, he responds effectively
to all their greetings. He lias a full
sized Parrot for all their Dahlgrens, and
as a sharpshooter is fearful. Here is
the last bomb from the magazine of the
Courier-.
Our neighbor over on Green street
gave our pretty editor a touch up a few
days ago, but now we have one on their
senior that’s worth a dozen of that. A
masquerade hall was given on New
Year’s night, at the house of a gentle
man on Seventh street, and a large
number of the fair and gay gathered to
enjoy the opening of the new year.
Among the characters represented was
a newsboy, who went through the room
calling out the various city payers—
Courier, Democrat, Journal. An old
lady hobbling along on a stick accosted
him, “You say you keep the Journal f"
The newsboy answered “Yes.” “Then,
there.” shs said to a fellow representing
the devil, "is a patron of the Journal.
You may sell him a copy.” “Oh, no,”
answered the newsboy, “I can’t sell him
any Journal ; that’s the old editor him
self.”
A Goon Joke on Bennett.—The
New York correspondent of the Louis
ville Courier, alluding to the recent
yacht race, says:
“I may as well tell you a little inci
dent, It was naturally supposed, as
young Bennett was one of the most in
terested parties in it, the New York
Herald would be the first to receive
news of the arrival of the Henri
etta, provided she reached Cowes first.
Well she did ; but the first the Herald
knew of it was a dispatch sent to it by
the courtesy of Mr. Craig, of the United
States und European Association, which
beat the broken down Associated Press,
as it does every day both ia the quail
tity and quality of its news and the
promptness with which it is transmitted.
The Herald is a fast newspaper and
Mr. Bennett too sagacious to reniuin
long with the ‘monopoly concern.’ ”
A Venerable Stove.—The oidist
stove in the United States, if not iu the
world, is that which warms the hall o|
the Capitol of Virginia, in Kithmoud.
It. was made in England and sent to
Virginia in 1777, and warmed the house
of the Burgesses and the General As
sembly for Bixty years before it was
removed to its present location, where
it has been upwards of thirty years. It
has survived three British Kings; and
has been contemporaneous with four
monarchies, two republics and two im
perial governments of France. Ihe
great republic of America has been torn
by civil war, the breaches partly healed ;
and still the old stove has remained
unmoved in the midst ol all.
A Solyw* State. —Th* financial
condition of Kentucky, as il is reported
by the pa pen of that State, is certainly
very encouraging. The debt is said ip
be between $5,000,000 and $6,000,000.
The State treasury now holds between
$4,000,000 and $5,000,000. The Quar
termaster-General has just been notified
that $700,000 have been made subject
to his draft by the proper national au
thorities, and between $1,000,000 and
$2,000,000 additional is expected within
a few weeks. The assets are therefore
enough to liquidate all the liabilities,
and to enable the State to begin the
new year free from debt.
The Ohio Democracy. —A Demo
cratic Convention held at Columbus, on
Monday, passed the following :
Resol red, That the Democratic State
Convention, to meet on the Bth of Janu
ary, should adopt a resolution requesting
the Legislature to submit to the people,
at the next annual election, the question
*>f striking the word “while" from the
Constitution of Ohio, iu order that there
may no longer be a doubt as to how the
people of Ohio nre affected on the pro
position o( negro suffrage, declaring
that we will hereafter, as heretofore,
ulways oppose the proposition at tho
polls.
—We clip the following interesting
item from the New York Sunday School
Advocate , written by its editor, Rev.
Daniel Wise, D. D.:
Children, I have an instrument on my
table which is worth more than all the
playthings you ever owned. I do not
mean that it cost more money, but it is
worth more as a source of amusement,
und instruction. It is called the A 'ovelty
Microscope. Its use will make you wiser
and happier too. With il you can ex
amine the thousands of insects which
swarm the earth and air, for it magnifies
them hundreds of times. It gives you
an insight into all the wonderful little
works of nature, thus showing you the
greatness of God, who has clothed each
flower and the tiniest insect with won
derful beauties which can never he seen
without the aid of a microscope, bend
two dollars to George Meade, Racine,
Wisconsin, and he will send you the
Novelty Microscope.
A Novel Dramatic Performance
The New York papers notice in high
terms a recent performance at Winter
Garden, where Othello was presented,
Dawson impersonating the dusky Moor
in German, Edwin Booth as lago in
English, whilst the gentle Desdemona
(Madame Scheller) played in German
in the scenes with Othello, and in Eng-
scenes with the other dramatis
persona:. Long before the night ol the
performance every seat had been sold at
prices advanced one hundred per cent.
The performance was a perfect success.
Receipts and Stock of Cotton.—
The New York Financial und Commer
cial Chronicle, of January 2, gives the
following cotton statistics :
The receipts of cotton the past week
at all the ports are less than this week,
amounting to 77,554 bales, against
8G.898 hales the previous week, making
receipts since September 1,
this year, 758,167 bales, against 828,373
bales for the same period in 1885. Ihe
exports iroui all the ports this week
amount to 32.927 bales (against 34,940
buleß last week), of which 30,074 hales
were to Liverpool, 316 hales to Havre,
aud 2,086 bales to Bremen.
Surf, Cure for Corns.—A friend at
our elbow says he was so troubled with
corns that he could hardly walk. He
cured himself by the following very
simple plan. He bathed his feet in
warm water, cut his corns very close,
took a common match, rubbed it well
on his painful toes, and in less than a
week was perfectly cured. It is cer
tainly a very simple remedy, and one
worth trying.

Important Fete Invention I
AUSTRALIAN CRYSTAL,
SINGLE AND DOUBLE VISION
SPECTACLES
7he Only Perfect Lens in Existence!
Superior to *ny other hi wee—constructed
in *ceeord*nce with the icienee and philosophy
of nature in the peculiar form of a CONCAVO
CONVEX ELLIPSIS. Admirably adapted to
the Organ of Sight, and perfectly natural to
the eye, affording altogether the best artificial
help to tho human vision ever invented.
Sold only by the Prefoesor of Optics and
Spectacle Manufacturer.
THE ADVANTAGES of these Spectacles
over all others, are—
-Ist. The only true Lens known, being per
fectly free from ehroraatic light, so well known
to be the cause of injury to the visfen, and
which makes the change from Spectacles to
Glasses of stronger powers, so often required
while both near and distant objects are seen
with equal facility through the same Glasses.
2d. Caa be worn with perfect ease for any
length of time at ono sitting, giving astonish
ing clearness of vision, particularly by candle
or other artificial light— eomiart to the Spec
tacle wearer hitherto nnknown.
3d. When the eyes aebe or pain through the
action of a bright light, such as is reflected
from snow, sunny weather, white paper, and
in reading, writing, or sewing, or vivid colored
bodies, these Lenses, by softening the rays,
effeet a most agreeable sensation and give
great relief.
4th. In all nervous affeetioDS of the eyes
causing dull and startling pains in the eye
ball or temple, appearance of luminous
and dark spots iu the atmosphere, aching
or feeling like sand in the eye, the disturbed
nerves are quieted and soothed.
sth. Ground by peculiar machinery, got np
at great cost, mathematically calculated ex
pressly for the manufacture of this Lens, so ae
to produce it with the true spherical accuracy,
and its focus is at the exact ccDtre, a point
of vital importance, and which no other Lens
possesses.
6tb. Proof of Superiority over the old kind
of Spectacles. They are used exclusively at
all the hospitals for diseases of tho eye, in
Berlin, Prussia, and elsewhere.
TESTIMONY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
From Medical gentlemen, Profcsenrs of the
highest Opthalmiu taleut in Augusta, Ga., and
in the Union :
Augusta, Ga., December Sib, 1866.
I have examined the Glasses of Dr. Bern
hardt, and find them of good quality. His
testimonials arc very numerous and exceed
ingly flattering. L. A. DUGAS, M. D.
Augusta, Ga., Dee. 7, 1866.
I do most willingly bear my testimony in
favor of the superiority of the Australian
Crystal—single and double visiou spectacles—
over all other kinds. They are constructed
upon tho best estabiisbed and understood prin
ciples of optics, and their adaptation to the
human eye in its different conditions of vision
is so perfect, .as to render sight easy without
effort. In my opinion, none others should >
used, since the eyes once used to those do t >
seem to grow old, and by having a focusv
any point of the surface, they appear to re
store the eyes to their youthful energy.
LEWIS D. FORD, M. D.
Augusta, Ga. Dec. 7, 1866.
I have examined a great variety of Glasses
manufactured by Professor M. Bernhardt, and
in justice to the 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 imperfect. The Professor
selected for me a pair of his Australian Crystal
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
Glasses most cheerfuiiy.
C. C. PRITCHARD, M. D.
Augusta, Ga., Dec. 7, 1866.
I very cordially recommeud Prof. M. Bern
hardt to all who may require Glasses.
DeSaussuke ford, m. and.
j Avgusta* Ga., Dec. 7, 186*.
Wc have examined tho Lupses of Professor
Bernhardt, and consider them superior to any
wo have seon. They are admirably adapted not
only to improve the imperfections of impaired
sight, but to relieve the weariness of vision
which constant study produces. Slnuy of tho
Glassed are of new and ingenious oontrivancu.
Wo cordially recommend the Professor to all
those who require scientific optical assistance.
H. If. BIG NON, M. D.,
JOHN L. COLEMAN, M. D.
W. U. DOUGHTY, M. D.
WM. 11. CLARKE,
GREGORY DUGGAN.
Augusta, Ga., Dec. 8, 1866.
I have exam.iued the Glasses of Dr. M.
Bernhardt, of Europe, and have tried them.
They an- very reiuarknb'e for their beauty ,of
workmanship, and for their power lo assist tbe
vision. Dr. .M. Bernhardt has made Optics
the study o his life, and is evidently most
thoroughly acquainted with the soiencet
lie is a native of Berlin, Prussia, and Las
studied there, hut has fer several years been a
resident of New York. The 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 hi.- skill as an
Optician, and I would recommend him to
whose vision is impaired either through ago or
disease. JOSEPH K. WILSON,
Pastor First Presbyterian Church.
Satakbah, Ga., Nov. 29, 1866.
I hereby certify that Mrs. Daveuport has
been affected with Amorousis lor about two
months ; it became almost complete. On tho
2d of November last, dcoorriing to my own
advice, she placed herself under the charge of
Dr. At. Bernhardt. Her vision has rapidly
improved, fcho can now read small print
with or withont glasses.
J URIAH HARRIS, M. D.
I fully endorse what Dr. Harris has aboT©
said. W. N. WARING, M. D.
Savanbah, Nov. 26, 1566.
Prof et,or M. Bernhardt, Optician and Ocnlitt:
I cheerfully state to yon that a further ac
quaintance, with you and your most excellent
Glasses, has confirmed my first impressions as
lo your thill and their superiority over the
general run, aud I recommend all whoso
vision is in any way impaired, as mine unfor
tunately is, to avail thomsclvcs of your science.
