The DAILY PHKAS In «l*w the Official Paper af the City of AHfUtin. having been elec led by the City Council a« their Official Organ. 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. COI4.IKKY Disasters is England.— The following is a list of the principal colliery disasters that have occurred in Yorkshire, England : Killed. 1797. April 19, Rothweil Ilaigh, Leeds... 13 1809. Juno 30, East Ardsley, near Wake field 10 1825. January 12, Gosferth Coal Mine, at Middie'OD, near Leeds 25 1841. November 22, Mount Osborne Pit, Barnesley 15 1846.

December 8, Edmund's Main, near Barnsley .'. 54 Total 527 Adding the number ol the dead at Barnsley and Hanley (450), this aggros gate is now increased to 977. 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. Special Notices. ENOCH LODGE OF PER FECTION.— The Regular Meeting will bo held THIS EVENING, at 7 o’clock. By order J. D. BUTT, T.‘. P.-.

LATE OF BERLIN, PRUSSIA. 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. Kespoctfully, yonrs, R. D. ARNOLD, M. D. Testimonials similar to the above may bo seen at Prof. BERNHARDT’S office, from Jos. H. Plunkett, Pastor of St. Paul’s, Ports mouth, Va. Hon. Jas. D.
