The ehoes woru by ladies ut present are
far more sensible Hum th<»se lately in
fashion. The design now is to give ay in.
metrical flinpo and 6i.se to the foot rather
than to cramp it into uunatural smallneea.
For this purpose the boat shoemakers now
use French laats made precisely tho shape
of the foot, outlining the taper of the
foot on top, and giving ample width of
sole.

—•King Kalakaua has a poet-sister. She
oo&poted the national anthem, both
words and unsic. The original Hawaiian
may not be intelligible to our readers, but
we transcribe a part of the hymn as it has
be«i translated into our language:
“ Father Almighty, Lord of all,
Incline Thine ear and hoar our call:
The nation lifts its voice'to Thee,

—In Harrisburg, Pennsylvania—so nay
th« nowopapera—there ia a “beautiful
huntress," a young lady of seventeen,
who delights in romantio ndvonturoR in
tha inountainous regions of her native
State. The other morning she wont on a
bunting expedition, and in a short time
anooeeded in “bagging” sixteen partridges
and three squirrels. The same evening
ahe shot eight muskrats. Tho next day,
by no means exhausted, she performed
similar exploits with her revolver. Her
uniform consists of a tight-fitting jacket
and abort skirt, oap with oil-cloth oover,
find India rubber boots. She is accompa
nied by two oanine companions on her
expeditions.
—Miss Braddon, the novelist, is thus
described by an English correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune, writing from
Brighton: “Sometimes we soo at the
Bink a tall, rather angular woman, evi
dently upon the shady side of forty, with
hair cut short and streaked with gray,
with oearae lines about her mouth, and u
deep farrow between her eyes. She dresses
tolerably well; not elaborately, or with a
blind obedience to the latest mandates of
fashion, but with evident indifforenoe to
cost, if also with a sense ubtuso to the
more subtile gradations of harmony in
oolor. She is a person whom one might
imagine to bo the principal of a girls’
school, or tbB spinster aunt of a large
family of obafcreperutts boys and nagging
girls, sad thus account for tho stern linen
of her face, which seem not no much
those of s dominant or n couquorcd nar
row ss of repressed pension.”
/ f'OttiQJI <*00(1*.
At thin season of tho ye ir ladies begin
to prepare for the summer o.impaiu at the
witering-plaooH, and for tho more quiet
eouutry resorts. An abuudauco of under-
olotbing in a desideratum for thoso who
spend mouths away from home, and at
present low prices this is within the reach
of most limited purses. At date of writ
ing Mew York Mills muslin is reduced to
15 cents a yard, and Wamsutta muslin to
the same price. Fifteen yards of those
excellent brands will make half a dozen
chemises either in the old-fashioned gored
shape, or in the French saque-ohomise
which ia now so largely adopted. Four
teen yards, or even lesB, will raako the
same number of pairs of drawers, and
these should be trimmed to correspond
with the chemises with which they are
worn. For gowns and petticoats most
ladies prefer lighter muslins, such ns tho
Lonsdale brand, or the now Utics, or tho
Fruit of the Loom. Excellent Lonsdulo
muslin, soft and ready for the needle, is
now only 12 J cents a yards.
Spring Cnllcoe*.
Bargains in light calicoos are offered to
thoso who are content with tho pretty
patterns of last year, as merchants have
filled their counters with their present
stock, hoping to soil boforo now goods
arrive. Enticing bargains arc shown in
delicate designs, like those first used in
cambric, for 12£ cents a yard. These are
white grounds with bars of color or else
there are repetitions of tho mottled
stripes of last season, with alternate gray
and blue, gray and rose, or olse gray and
violet. These copy the colors and dosigus
of French cambrics, and are sold as low
as $1 for twelve yards; but purchasers
will do well to test their colors before
buying, as many that look secure wil*
fade, and give as little satisfaction as
they did last summer. The dark blue and
brown cambrics of last year also reappear.
These usually have white figures, rose
buds, bars, blocks, Greek squares and
zigzag lines. The pleated waist, with
belt and basque over the hips, will be
worn in these fabrics when spring returns.
A Biogle skirt with u flounce is sufficient for
morning dresses, but the pretty suits of
these wash goods, to be worn in the
street, will have long aprons and deep
round over-skirts.
—Whether Madatue Paulino Lucca has
been afflicted with a sore throat or boon
threatened with dipthcria we know not:
but one Dr. Fieber, of Vienna—fortunate
man 1—has been allowed to look into the
throat of tho songstress, sud he was much
delighted with his researches. He found
tha mechanical apparatus to which the
melody is due to be beautifully perfect—
cramp the toes or bind the iuntep, or force la aurpa-sod hr trailing with which we are an-
out tho tender joints to form bunions, as
the narrow shoos of the past few years
have done. Another sensible feature of
the present style is the low broad heel,
which gives the foot a natural, easy and
healthful position, very different from
that suffered when the high narrow French
heels were iu vogue. Experienced shoe-
makers also ooimneud what is called the
English Channel gr.iove in the sole of the
shoe that carries the stitch connecting
tho sole and iippor, and prevents tbe
edge from becoming rough and ragged.
Buttoned boots of French kid are the
andnoweit shoes for semi-dress, house
and carriage wear. For the same pur
poses there are also buttoned boots of
fine sorgo foxed with French and Ouraooa
kid. Heavy walking shoes with double
soles arc mad* of pebble goat, of Cnracoa
kid, of straight grain, and also the French
mat kid. Hide-laced gaiters are s lid to be
oomieg into favor again, as they give a
perfect fit, and are easily adjusted to the
foot when it swells with fatigue or over-
exertion ; both serge and morocco are
usod for these gaiters.
—Mothers should see that their chil
dren's nurses aro not thoughtlessly cruel
to tho babies under their charge. We
often notice a lilll i child riding ia its
carriage, or carried iu the nur»e’a arms,
with its face to tho bum, unshaded and
unprotected. Tho attendant is heedless
or iguoraut, and the baby not only suffers
discomfort at tho time, but serious injury
rauit result to tho delicate organ of sight.

Chnreh Koath
Fcr the past week onr city his been
alive with adored preacher*. The an
nual conference of tbe A M. E. Church
Hwutu convened here on Thursday last,
and ended its labors on Tuesday nigt t.
We aitcLded tie (tuft rein e, n.d wer*
peculiarly pleased with our visit. We
were kindly received and presented to
the pressing Bishop, and by him intro
duced to the Conference; after which,
being tendered a sent on the Bishop's
right, were mode the recipient of many
courtesies for which tho Albany Nem
makes proper acknowledgements.
We wish it were in our power to give
this Conference and its attending mem
bers and delegates s fitting notice in tbe
Ncicn to day, and regret exceedingly that
the time and space at our command will
not admit of our doing so.
The body was a remarkable one, re
markable from tbe fact of the large ar
ray of intelligence it presented to the eye
of the visitois while the personnel ut the
Convention was certainly far in advauce
of what we rntioipated before we arrived.
To speak in general terms,—the minis
ters were fine looking, well dressed, dig
nified, and their deportment was well
iu keeping with their sacred cal'ing.
Bishop Ward is a man of unusually fine
abilities, and as a presiding officer, cer
tainly comes fully up to our idea of the
accomplished parliamentarian—earnest,
quick, courteous and firm. We noticed
present, Rev H. M. Turner, one of Geor
gia's most prominent colored men and
orators, Rev W. H. Noble, Rev Mr. Brad-
well, decidedly the best colored speaker
we ever listened to. Rev W. J. Gaines,
a promiuent preacher and well
known leading colored man, Rev Mr.
Fitzpatrick, and many others, who have
boeu prominent in Georgia's history since
emancipation but which we have not time
now to mention.
The conference completed jts labors on
Tuesday night and adjourned. From
what we could gather, we are convinced
that the preachers go to their homos fa
vorably impressed with Albany and her
people, both white and colored.
One of Iho leading aud most prominent
ministers of tho conference dropped n
to bid ns good bye, on hia way to tbe
A <fc G Train, yesterday, and just had
time to say that the colored men had no
quarrel with Southwestern Georgia: that

will cross the Tennessee at a point about
eight miles above Chattanooga. The dis
tance from Ciociuuali to Chattanooga
will be just the same as tbe distaoce from
Loniaiville to Chattanooga by the present
railroad line ; but in freights coming fur
ther touth Citiciuiibti will hava the ad
vantage iu diatanoe by eleven or twelve
miles, by means of tbe junction with tbe
Western and Atlantic before entering
Chattanooga.
It is obvious that the only present ad
vantage to our section, which we can rea.
sonably hope from tbe completion of tbe
Cincinnati Southern, will result from tho
stimulated opposition between Lousiville
and Cincinnati, and the gaining by the
latter of as short a line of oommnnica-
tion with oh as Louisville's. But wo can
not surrender the confident hope that Cin
cinnati, having gained this much, wil
quickly see that her interest lies in a con
tinuation of her “air-line” due south to
tho Gulf. This would briug it along the
line of our partially constructed North
and South Railroad. Had Knoxville been
chosen as the southern terminus of the
Cincinnati road, we could not so reason
ably have indulged this hope, as tbe ob
jective point of Cincinnati wonld then
obviously have been an Atlantio port—
Charleston or Savaonah. But as she is
going to Chattanooga, she cannot get
much advantage of Louisville or St.
Louis in pushing an extension to the At
lantic, and her manifest policy will be to
reach out still further for the trade of the
Gulf region and tbe West Indies.
We notice that a manufacturer of ferti
lisers in Rome, Ga., is offering his com
pound to planters at $37 50 per ton cash,
or $52 50 payable next fall. This, we
compute to be f ally 40 per cent, per annum
for extending credit. We make no com
plaint, but mention tbe faot to,.illustrate
the inconsistency of forbidding a man to
loan his money for more than 7 per cent,
while his neighbor, possessing other prop
erty, is allowed to charge 40 per cent, for
his credit iu disposing of it.
The Cede.
San Fiiancibco, January 20.—A duel
took place yesterday in the suburbs of
this city between Paul Zeocbi, an ex*Con-
federute officer, aud Ives, a Northern
man, a resident of Georgia, who is visit
ing here. The cause was that Zeeohi
during the war was instrumental in the
execution, as a hpy t of a brother of Ives.
One shot wph fired. Zeeohi was hit in tbe
shoulder. The latter fired in the air.
Zeocbi demanded another shot, but Ives
refused. Zecchi then attempted to shoot
himself, but was disarmed by his seoonds.
The police are investigating tho matter.—

—Among the usages of Rome is the
proolamation of a jubilee year at tho
termination of each qitartor of a century.
Pius IX, receiving the tiara in 184(1, and
expelled from his capital iu 1848, con
cluded that the Catholic world was too
much disturbed by revolution in 1850 to
pay devout Attention to, or reap any bene
fits from a jubilee. When he was lying
on a sick bed in the spring of 1873, so
grioviously ill that his life hung ou the
balance, he is said to have exclaimed:
“I shall not die until I have proclaimed
the jubileo.” The closing year of the
third quarter of the century is now here,
and according to usage the old Pope has
proclaimed 1875 a jubilee year. The su
perstitious give a meaning to his words,
indicating that be will die soon after his
proclamation.
The Moutf of Sixpence.
Mr. Tyler, in his “Primitive Culture,’
thus applies lo this work the law of tho
interpreatiou of myths:—“Obviously,
tho four aud twenty blackbirds are four
aud tweuty hours, and the pie that .holds
them is the underlying earth, covered with
the over-arching sky: how true a touch of
nature it is, when the day breaks—the
birds begin to sing! The king is the sunr
and his count ing out his mouey is pour,
ing out the situshine, the golden showe-
of D ime. The queen is the moon, aud her
transparent honey the moonlight. The
maid is tho rosy figure drawn, who rises
before tho ruu, her master, and hangs out
the clouds, his olothes, across the sky.
The particular blackbird who so tragi
cally ends the tale by snipping off her
nose is the hour of sunshine.”
THE SUNDAY ENQUIRER.
With the New Year we separate tho SUNDAY ENQUIRER from the DAILY..
This was a neoessity, from the faofc that many hundreds were taking the SUN
that d'd not take the D\ti,v, and it was but right that they should have a jonrnal that
visited them but onoo a week, superior to tha Dainr. Oa this paper wa
largely risk the financial success of onr enterprise, and Ihis being tho ease wo pro
pose to make it in every way worthy of popular support, and the best advertising me
dium in tho laud.
Wo do not dream of rapid fortune or unexpected success. Long years of hard,
determined work, with one great objeot in view are absolutely essential to Win. A1
the requisites of energy,however, wonld be unavailing as s’earn without practical ma
chinery, if wo did not make a paper that commended itself to the pnblio and in whose
pages each subscriber felt he was more than compensated for his trifling investment.
Knowing this we propose to make the SUNDAY ENQUIRER the best family paper
iu the South.
ITS DEPARTMENTS.
Ono serial STORY of merit and thrilling interest will be found in the columns
of the SUNDAY ENQUIRER. Three stories, at least, each a volume in itself, and
vrrittm exjrretely for thi*paper, will be published daring the year. Eloh story wil
be worth the subscription prioe of tbe paper.
* General Literature,
Poetry, oirginal and selected, will be found in the appropriate oolumns. At
least two hundred poems, sufficient to make a larga volume, will be published daring
the year. In addition to this there will be a great number of short and interesting
sketches of travel, romanco or geueral int«re3t.
Ladies’ Department.
This will be n mn.ked feature in the SUNDAY ENQUIRER. While the editor
of .his Department will give a resume of the ohanges in the world of fashion, at tue
same time ore,it cure will be exorcised in tho preparation of all artioles, tne desire
being to give the necessary information without creating any tendency to the slavery
of dress. Articles on female education, record' of noble women, and kindred matters
will be made a specialty of this department.
Household Matters.
Cooking is ns much of n science as domestic economy; therefore this depart
ment will be found of unnsnal interest to every housekeeper in the land. All new
reoeipes that tend to make food more palitable or home more comfortable will be
published. Besides reoeipes that are useful iu the presetva'ion of furniture, cloth
ing, ornaments, the decoration of home, and the sating of money. Everybody will
appreciate fully the boneflt of this department aud it is onr desire that they con-
ribete to it from their own experience and so do good to their house keeping sisters.
Medical Advice.
While every person if dangeroosly or severely ill should at once call in a physi
cian, yet there ia lunch in minor cases that could be dono with a knowledge of biniple
and easily procured remedies. These will be furnished in this department, in addi
tion to articles on physiology and the laws of health.

Paper Imitation op Leatiiku.—A most
deceptive imitation of leather is manufac
tured according to a process discovered
by Dawidowski, from parchment paper.
It is ns soft and pliab’.o as leather, and
resembles it perfectly iu color aud finish,
ami, like it, can be glued, pressed, stamp
ed, gilded, etc. It therefore forms a per
fect substitute for fanoy leather for very
many purposes. As binding of books it
resists ubrasiou extremely well, and ia not
affected by dirt or even water. It is also
free from the objections of leather as a
lining for hats, since it is unaffected by
perspiration.

dled along as fast as rheumatism wonld
let it, and in five minutes they all stood
pantibg at the top of tbe hill.
“Obliged to ye,” said tbe man ; “you
just wait a minute and he liurriod into
the house, while two or tluee pink-
aproned children peeped out of the door.
“Now, boys,” said cousin Will, “this is
a small tniug; but I wish wo oould all
tAke a motto out of it, and keep it for
life. Tush!’ It is just the word for a
grand, clear morning.
“If auybody is in trouble aud you soe
it, don’t stand back. Push!
“If there’s anything good doing in any
plate whore you hnppen to be, push!
“Whenever there’s a kind thing, a
Christim thing, a happy thing, a pleasant
thing, whether it is your own or uot;
whether it is at homo or in town; at
cburcl* or at school, just help with all
your might. Push!”
At that moment the farmer came out
with a dish of his wife’s beat doughnuts,
and a dish of his own best apples ; and
that was the end of the little sermon.
Glenn.
The St, Louis Democrat well says this
will nuke the average “Granger” open his
eyes, and goes on to say that Dr. Glenn
came to Missouri when quito young, in
which State bit* father still lives. In 184U
ho went to California, aud after mining
awhile bought a ranohe and ran it with
great profit. Ho udded to it until his
farm now numbers 50,000 acres. If ho
has a weakness it is for <lmw poker. He
bets with tho same volamiuous impetuos
ity that he does everything else. He has
been known to stand “pat” without r
pair and “raise” $10,000; ou several oo
elisions ho has lost immensely. He is no
nlway* unlucky, however, and his nerve
has drivon out many players holding bet
ter “hands.”
While it is proposed to mnke tho SUNDAY ENQUIRER snoh a paper aa can be
read at all tiuiew and by every person with advantage, yet it is but right that we
should set aside r department especially uovoted to religion without sectarianism.
Church news will bo givon under this head, besides sacred poetry and the best
thoughts of the greatest pulpit orators.
Scientific Notes.
The world owes its progoessto the hoart of pure religion and the ceaseless brain
of her daughter and band maiden, Seienco. Every day new discoveries are being
made, and those, where they are of geueral interest and practical utility will be reg
ularly furnished to the subscribers of the SUNDAY ENQUIRER.
New Publications.
In Ibis age of many books it is impossiblo to koop up with tho literature of the
day. This department by careful reviews will keep our subscribers informed, and
where necessary the oream of all the books and periodicals will be carefully given.
Answers to Correspondents.
j’roiu this time forward this will be a regular and carefully edited department of
tho SUNDAY ENQUIRER. All questions proposed will be answered carefully and
promptly, to the bent of the editor’s knowledge and ability, aud where an answer
cannot be givou tho question will be published and answers solicited. By this
means much information can be conveyed and amusement received.

The Situation In Cuba.
Havana January Hi.—The following
official information is published in the
journals: Tho insurgents, oommunded by
Maximo Gomez, recently refused an en
gagement near San Marcos, niid roti red
during the night. Tbreo battAlionB of
Spauish troops started in pursuit. Gomez,
S.uiguili and Sanchez, sent a portion of
their force* over the Zaza river on the 1th
insfc. at pass Eastano. 1 hoy met with a
repulse from the Spauish dotaohments
there, aud immediately reorossed the
river, leaving tweuty killed. The Span
iards lost six killed.
The movements of the Spanish forces,
commanded by Gen. E-sponda and Valera,
have oldigod the insurgents to divide into
two bodies. One is near tho Zaza and tbe
other near Trinidad river, and both are
sub-divided into small quads.
The authorities say the number of
troops iu the Cinco Villas District con
tinues to increase, and their activity will
uot leave the insurgents a moment's rest
until defeated or forced to reoross the
T-ocha. E-uape iu this direction may
soon be impossible for them.
Vessels of the navy wa'ch closely all
places where expeditions from abroad
can laud.
The Vo* De Cuba says:Gomez believed
he could enter the Cinco Villas region
and burn plautations with impunity. He
expected uo resistance and hoped many
men wonld join him. He finds, on the
contrary, (hat he has to fly before eigh

—Jack and Jim Ueynolds, cousins and

near Augusta, Maine. Jack held a

money us fast as he raised until the pool
ainouuted to over $10. Then Jim called,
and Jack threw down his straight. Then
Jim threw down four aoeB. This indica

that one of them was a tray, with the

and Jack hud his nose bitten, but ueither
got the money, because some body stole

A Good Pioxdbb.—Ihe MilwsnkieiYeies
gives its readers this bit of seasonable
advice; “Getting up in a cold room to
niuko a fire is like getting np in life. If
you crawl timidly out of bed, go on tip
toe to Ihe -love, and nltow the shivera to
get control of you before the kindling
starts, your fire will probably bo a failure,
and you will half freeze to death iu the
operation. But if you jump out bravely,
bustle around, pull on your clothes,knock
over a ohair or two, and pitoh in the stove
wood, you will probably be too warm by
tbe time the fire gets to burning, and
have to open a window. So in life. Attack
it timidly and yon will fall. Grapple with
it hurriedly and yon will be a success. ’
