They are faced about three quarters of a yard, although you needn’t say so to everybody. From Florida comes the romantic story of Della Jones, a full blooded negro, aged 40. She fell desperately in love with a young white mao, a cn -penter, and realizing the fact that he could never be nytbing“ to her, she turned her prop erty into cash ($7,250), left it to him by will, and then went and drowned herself. Ax abortive attempt was made to ab duct another of Philadelphia’s six-year old boy, Othello Beatty, on Tuesday, the 20th utlimo. The kidnapper drop ped the child after carrying him two miles. Mrs. Canfield of Bridgewater,Mass., has a daughter eight weeks old that weighs only two pounds and a quarter, its weight at birth being a pound and a half. It is perfectly formed, but its mouth in so small that it has to be fed by means of a special apparatus. Beast Butler said in the House recent ’ ly, “No man is more anxious to get at Louisiana than I am.” Since he plied his vocation so success fully in New Orleans the Beast seems to think Louisiana is made of spoons. Fifty thousand starved out people of Asia Minor, whom the famine drove thence, crowded into the city of Adana, itself a place of but ten thousand inhabi tants Their sufferings and and isease have cut down one-half of their number. The simple mention of the aggregate of vic tims suggests the extremes of destitution and misery into which the unfortunate •efugees must have fallen. c* Vive le Humbug.—The moiasses candy colored specimen of royalty, Kalikaua, over whom the Northern people. are just now going crazy, is King of a little island in the Pacific Ocean not larger, territorially, than the four counties of Dallas, Lowndes, Autauga and Montgomery, and not more populous than the single county of Lowndes. In 1853 the population of Hawaii was less than 25,000 souls and it has been decreasing ever sinee—chiefly in consequence of syphilis, from which few of the inhabitants are wholly exempt. Small-pox and other epidemics occasioned by filthy localities, also lend a helping hand in the work of extermination. The women are the work ers, the men acting the part of drones. Under Kamehamaha IV., some advance ment was made in the arts of civilization, j and we presume that his son Kalikaua is j now in the United States on a tour of ' observation with a view to pushing the good work of Ms hither still nearer per fection. On oue point the young gent seems to need no instruction—that of lev ying heavy taxes. In 1858 the exports i of Hawaii amounted to $787,000 —the | revenue derived from taxation was $650,- i 000.

It is almost daily referred to as “ the best daily in the South.'’ “the leading Georgia daily,” etc., and it is generally conceded to be in all respects a model Southern newspaper. This is the same that the Morning Neavb covets, and no pains will be spared hereafter to make it still worthier of.the confidence and patronage of the people of Georgia and Flori da. The ample resources of the establishment will be devoted to the improvement of the pa per in respect to its already large facilities for gathering the current news of the clay, and its staff ol special correspondents has been reor ganized with a view to meeting every possible contingency that may arise. Although the Morning News has but little or no competition within the field of its circu lation, nevertheless no effort will be considered too expensive that gives the earliest and fresh est information to its readers. In this respect there will be no relaxation of the endeavor to keep it far ahead of all its contemporaries. The features that have rendered the paper so popular will be maintained. The editorial department will be conducted with the same dignified thoughtfulness, conservative vigor, and earnest devotion to principle that have al - characterized it. The racy reliability of the local, and the accuracy and complements of the commercial departments, w ill be kept up to the old standard, and improvements w;H be made wherever they are suggested bv ex perience. The Morning News is the only Savannah paper that publishes the Associated Press dispatches and the telegraphic marhe. reports authorized by the Commercial Bureau of New York City. In addition to this, die local market reports will be full and reliable, and will be accompanied by such comment as will enable the business men of Georgia and Florida to form estimates as accurate and as intelligent as if they were in the city. In a word, the Morning News will com prise every feature that renders the modern newspaper attractive,audits readers may con fidently look to its columns for the latest in formation iu regard to everything of current interest. It will admit of no rivalry in its own proper field, and will ellow-.po competi tor to outstrip it in any department dsf*uS nalistic enterprise.

WILLIAM BROOKS, General Agent for Georgia, Crawford, Oglethorpe County, Ga. 0 Ol ye that pant for living streams and pine away and die, Now you may quench your raging thirst from wells that never dry. One of the greatest blessings bestowed upon man by a bountiful Creator, is pure water. Without it the earth would be a dreary des ert, wholly incapable of supporting life. It is well known that the old way of making wells is very slow, expensive, and even dan gerous. In the first place they have to re move four times as much earth as is necessary to get water, in order to have room for the workmen to work. The well is then so large that it requires a great amount of rock or brick to wall it, and it requires weeks, and even months, to dig and wall a well. There is also danger to the workmen who enter from what is called the “ damps,” which is sure and sudden death to any one exposed to it. Large wells are, also, very liable to cave in, cover up and smother the workmen, and in this case they are seldom taken out alive. Comparatively few persons are aware of the rapidity with which we bore wells, and as we stay above ground to do all of our work, there is no danger to fear. We remove no more earth than is necessary to get plenty of water. We do not require rock to wall with, as we tube our wells with good wood, galvan ized metal, or earthen tubing, and we make a good well in most countries in one day’s time, providing we have no rock to bore* or drill in. The Auger is operated by either hand or horse power, three men being required when the former is used. We can bore to any depth, and as large a thirty-six inches in di ameter. As soon as the well is bored we tube it from top to bottom with good inch lumber, ripped in strips three inches wine, and of the proper beveled edges to suit the inside of the well. The tubing nearest the surface will last fifteen or twenty years, and then you can pull it out and put in anew joint. That be low the water will last for ages. The wood causes the water to taste of it only a week or so. Either pumps or buckets can be used in our wells. The bucket fills from a valve in the bottom. At the bottom of each well is kept a galvanized iron bucket, left there, for the purpose of cleaning out the well, which can he drawn out at any time, and your well thoroughly cleansed of the most minute parti cle of trash or garbage that should chance to fall into it. The old-fashioned dug wells cost from $5 to $lO per year to be kept clean—our bored wells costs nothing. We bore through quicksand easily, aud guarantee it to never after annoy you. ONE DOLLAR PER FOOT is my price for boring, and tubing with wood, and we can generally Finish a Well in One Day. We also supply buckets and well-house at a small additional charge. Can bore in either winter or summer The water from bored wells is invariably pronounced better than that in the old-fash ioned dug wells.
