THE OGLETHORPE tECHO Aiken county Las five young men reading medicine. Hogs and cattle are dying of hydro* phobia in Fairfield. Gen. Grant will nail for America by the next mail steamer. The small pox i- raging in an epidem ic form at San Antonia, Texas;. Beer hunting on the Santee is now in order. Several "were killed last week. Invitations for evening parties should be issued in the name of the hosteas only. Many fugitives from Memphis are es tablishing themselves in business in St. Louis. Over 40,000 pounds of glycerine are used anfiualiy in the United States for mixing with beer. A sure cure for corns is to apply morn* ing and evening, one drop of solution of percbloride of iron. It takes 5,500,000 gallons of water a day to supply the city of Rochester. This is exclusive of whiskey. Gen. J. B. Hood and his daughter Lydia, aged ten years, are down with yellow fever at New Orleans. To return a personal call with cards enclosed in an envelope signifies that visiting between the persons is ended. It is said in Mississippi that the negro exodus will recommence this fall with a rush that will astonish the country. The heated term seems about to give place to the days when a shirt collar can stand up and look the sun square in the eye. If you see a wife carefully footing her husbands stockings, you may conclude that he will not find it difficult to foot her bills. A western boy recently swallowed a. pocket knife. He is a bad boy but he does not pull out his knife every time he gets mad. Rev. J. J. Hunt, of Marietta, was bit ten by a highland moccasin last week, and the amputation of his arm became necessary. Scandal mongers may learn this les son from the frog : Once overpassed the season of his adolescence he gives up tail-bearing. Russia has supplied Bulgaria with forty.seven million ball cartridges, and intends to fortify every railway junction and crossing. Conkling should have taken dried ap ples and water instead of crackers and milk. They would have helped him to swell—with indignation. Dr. Wheeler, of the New York Meth odist, wants to dispense with wine and use water instead in the administration of tho Sacrament ef the Lord’s Sup per. We learn from our exchanges that the cotton eatapillar has made its appear ance in several counties of Southwest Georgia and is doing considerable dam age to the crop. A poor fisherman at Tallahassee, Fla., while digging worms for bait the other day, came upon an old brass kettle con taining one thousand four hundred dol lars in gold coin. Fifteen years before the Revolution the wife of Washington kept sixteen spinning wheels running, and saw the fabrics made in her own house under her own direction. A father in Jefferson county not long since nipped a marriage in the bud by giving notice to the Ordinary not to is sue a license to anybody to marry his (the father’s) daughter. In Parker county, Texas, they raise cucumbers thirty-six inches long. The man who eats one has a cramp-colic as long as a poor sermon and as big around as a settlement scandal. Learn iii childhood, if you can, that happiness is not outside, but inside. A good heart and a clear conscience bring happiness, which no riches and no cir cumstances alone ever do. It is estimated that the people of the Uuited States consume three thousand barrels of liver-pills a year, and yet there is occasionally a man left to reach iiis end by a railroad collision. A little boy picked up what he thought was a rather pretty pebble while playing on the banks of tho Little Miami river, at Waynesville, Ohio. It turned out to be a pearl, and he sold it for $350. Tho suit brought by the missionaries against the Chinese in the British Court at Shanghai, on account of an alleged outrage by a mob of the latter, has been decided adverse to the missionaries. A serious riot occurred in Santiago,the capital of Chili, on the 31st of July, in consequence of popular discontent at the conduct of the war. Two persons were killed, and it is reported that the Chilian President has fled. A horseman writes that he completely cared a horse of the habit of gnawing the manger and halter strips by saturat ing the woodwork and straps with kero sene oil. One thorough application pro duced a permanent cure. * Florida man who owns 150,000 cattle is a recluse, says the New York Herald. He lives in a shanty which has neither fire-place nor chimney. Sells his surplus cattle in Cuba; seldom sees men, and hides his money in cans. The Toledo (Ohio) Blade remarks: “ With wheat at thirty bushels to the acre, and selling at about sl, and that dollar being gold, or as good as gold, it is up-hill business to talk of ruin. What begins in a groan generally ends in a giin." The report of the conference commit tee on the bill fixing the pay of the tax collectors and receivers of the State will give those officers in Richmond, Chat ham and other large counties of the State one and one-quarter per cent, upon the tax-digest It is estimated that over 2,500,000 peo ple have taken up homes in the West and South in the past five years. Of this number not over 600,000 can possi- 1 bly have been supplied by foreign emi gration, the rest of the total of 1,920,000 j emigrants in those years staying East or in towns or cities of the Pacific. At least 1,838,000 people have, therefore, gone from the East and from Virginia and from Kentucky in the last five years ; over 200,000 of them during IS7B-9. The ftmd raised for the Widow of Lieutenant Benner, who died of yellow fever last year, has been so invested as to yield her an income of S6OO a year. In addition she has & fine home in Rog ers Park, Cook county, 111., ten miles from Chicago, paid for. An editor got shaved in a barber shop lately, and offered the darkey a dime, which was refused, because, said he, “I understand you is an editor!” “Well, what of that?” “We never charge edi tors nuffin !” “ But such liberty will ruin you.” “ Oh, nebber mind we makes it up of the gemmen !” The amount of water now used in New York is so great that the superintendent of the water-works has issued an order compelling all manufacturers to place guagea upon their hydrants, so that the exact amouut they use can be ascertain ed. It is thought that this will prevent the outrageous waste of water that now exists. The Radicals won’t think of letting a colored mar. run for the Legislature in the great State of Ohio. A colored man by the name of VV'illiams was nominated from erne of the Cincinnati districts, but he was made to withdraw, as one of the Radical papers said that it was “ ill timed and nonsencical.” Such is Rad icalism in Ohio. John E. Seely, three years ago a horse ferrier in New York State, took Dr. Gree ley’s advice and went West. He engag ed in the restaurent or hotel business there and then speculated in mining ! stocks and in working mines. He came back to Goshen on a visit last week, worth over $5,000,000, having made in the three years of his absence an average of nearly $4,600 per day. The period at which clover is cut for hay materially influences its quality; thus, according to Wolff, the amount of nutritive substances in red clover at be ginning of flower is 11.33 per cent.; red clover in full flower, 13.04 per cent. — Red clover hay, cut at beginning of flower contained 55.43 per cent, of nutri tive matter, while the same cut in full flower contained 46.07 percent. An old public servant once gave a promising son this advice: “ Keep quiet for a time and don’t be in too great a hurry to push yourself forward or to ad vertise yourself. Just do your work as good as you can, and make no enemies. People in power will find you out soon enough, and be only to glad to avail themselves of the assistance you can give them. Wait for your chance and it wilfcome.” The Porte, it is claimed, is willing to sell the island of Cyprus out and out to Great Brittain being that the Queen’s government will never surrender its quasi jurisdiction over the island, but the price named is five million pounds, rather a heavy figure to pay for a dis trict said to be saturated with malaria. The British Cabinet, however, is reported to be seriously considering the question of the ways and means of the purchase. An unfortunate difficulty is troubling the Primitive Baptist Church at Enon, near Jones’ Mills, Meriwether county. The trouble arose out of the question whether or not the members can belong to the Masonic or Odd Fellows fraternity. One faction of the church objects to this, but another has decided that a man can be a Mason or Odd Fellow yet remain a church member. On account of this difference of opinion, the Meriwether Vindicator says the church is likely to be torn asunder. What could men do without imagina tion ? One can almost keep cool in sum mer by dreaming of the “ frosty Caucas us,” and the following incident shows that one can always have fresh air by imagining that the window is open. Two gentlemen slept in a very close room. The window was apparently stuck fast. A pane was broken to let in the air, and then another, then they both felt better and went to sleep. In the morning they discovered that they had broken two panes of an old fashioned bookcase. The Atlanta Constitution says: “The disclosures made by the Wallace com mittee in Rhode Island and Massachu setts show that even were the charges of buildozing in the South all true, the ne gro has far more freedom as a citizen than the employes of the New England mill owners. These employes are led by the ears to the polls in droves, and made to vote the republican ticket and if they resist they are discharged ; but the testimony is that few or none of the poor creatures resist. Sweet liberty! of thee we are inclined[to sing. It ft difficult to believe that a multi tude of people, equal in number to one fourth the population of the United States, have recently been destroyed by famine in China—yet such is the state ment that comes on the authority of Mr. Forrest, the English Consul at Tientsin. Nor has this terrible visitation yet pass ed away ; while Grant as “ Emperor of America” was hobnobbing with his Im perial Highnesss Prince Kung, thous ands of wretches were starving to death in the dominions ruled by Kung. A Kansas girl lived alone with her father. He oppressed her marriage and she killed him while asleep by pushing an awl into his brain. Soon the alarm that the old man had died of heart dis ease was given out. He was buried and she married soon thereafter. Her hus band was informed by her of the awful deed while she talked in her sleep. He was horrified, but she clung to him in pitegus appeals, explaining that the deed was done “ for him,” but he tore loose from her embrace and told her that he had a duty to perform to God and to his conscience. “|And will you betray me ?” He replied, “ I must.” Mr. Moody is described by the Tribune as being at his very best at Northfield. One of his neighbors says of him: “ I : have seen him in a great many large i places, but I come here to this little town, where he knows everybody, and takes an interest in everybody, to be more thoroughly charmed with him than ever before. People like to laugh; Mr. Moody knows it, and has the tact to put audience in good humor to commence with.” “ That is very good singing for one congregation,” he said at a meeting the other day at the close of the first verse of “ Guide me, O Tuou Great Je hova,” “ but there are a good many con gregations represented here and we ought to sing better than that All sing now. Mr. Davis, take that fan away from your mouth! Mrs. Smith I didn’t hear your voice ! Uncle Charley, you can sing! Here, mother, here is the place, you sing ! Now try again. I’ll keep watch and see if there are any who don’t sing.” IAIEB 4. BALDWIN. COX, HIU * VHOMPSOK. J. J. BALDWIN X CO. WHOLESALE DEALERS IN Foreip ani DokHc Lints, Wines, Etc.

Armstrong, two young men of Cherokee county, “ concluded j they wanted an education and set about to get it the cheapest way as possible. Having determined to place themselves under the instruction of Professor Fowl er, principal of the Ellijay seminary, the next thought was to make their expen ses as light as possible. They according ly went to work before leaving home and made their own bedstead. They were furnished by their parents with cooking utensils, a fully supply of substanntial food, with jars, bins, etc., in which to keep it, and are now comfortably quaran tined at what is known as “ bachelor’s hall,” where they do their own cooking, washing, ironing, mending, etc.” Wonderful Growth of a City. The first settlement of Denver, Col., was made twenty years ago, and it now boasts of 30,000 inhabitants, whilst its sanguine business men predict that its population will soon reach 100,000 peo ple. The region round about has altered greatly. A short time since it was but a sandy plain, regarded as sterile, and now, though irrigation, the whole Platte valley is dotted with pleasant farm houses, and presents many rural charmes. The town has not yet been made health ful. Despite its elevation—near 4,500 feet—its lack of sewerage causes dipthe ria to an alarming extent. It is said that an enterprising “ Yankee” staked it out in 1859, but, disappointed in selling lots and hearing of gold in the vicinity, disposed of Denver to a vagabond Mexi can for an old watch and a young mule, and rode off to seek a fortune. Death from Fright. Miss Rachel Snodgrass, 19 years of age, of Westmoreland county, Pa., dropped dead one day last week under strange circumstances. Shortly before the oc currance of the deplorable affair it is said that a little niece ofMiss Snod grass had strayed out into the back yard of her aunt’s residence, and presently wandered out to a plank which had been ■suspended across a deep well. Here the little one, unconscious of its peril, sat astride the board playing. A few inm ates later Miss Snodgrass, who had missed the child, started out to look for it. Going to the well she was about res cuing the child, when it began to cry, and at the same time make an effort to crawl of the plank. This was so terrify ing that Miss Snodgrass was overcome by her nervous excitement and fell to the ground, and had already expired when she was discovered by her parents. The child was rescued without injury. Personal Honor in England. The London correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, speaking of personal honor in politics in England, says: “It is unquestionable that the standard of personal honor in England is very high— much higher, I regret to say, than in our country. We see its influences in poli tics. For instance, this month a citizen, a lawyer-lobbyist was committed to the Tower of Westminster by Parlament fur merely saying that he could influence a Parliamentary committee. It was gen erally admitted that he did not believe that he could and that he lied to his cli ent when he said so, but Parliament con sidered its honor involved by such a statement even from a comparatively irresponsible man, and he went to prison by an unanimous vote of the House, the leaders of both parties vieing with each other to virdicate the honcr of their body. Compare this with Washington or Har risburg, and you measure the difference between the legislators of one country and the other’” Money no Objection. A young lady was recently asked if she thought money an objection to a marriageable young man, provided he was pleasant and agreeable in all other respects, to which she replied about as follows : “ Well, no. I don’t know as I’d mar ry for money alone, but if a man had plenty of money allied to a sweet dispo sition, and a moustache that curled at both ends, and nice blue eyes and respec table profession and his father was rich, and his mother and sisters were aristo cratic, and he wanted to marry me and would promise to let me have my own way in everything, and keep me liberally supplied with coin, and have a nice fur nished house and a big piano in it, and would give me two diamond rings and would pay my dry goods, milliner’s and dress-makers without grumbling, and I really and truly loved him—l wouldn’t consider his money any drawback to a match. Poultry Items. There are people who think raising poultry and eggs for market is a small business anyway; let all such meditate on the following figures: Over 20,000 carloads of live and dress ed poultry are carried into New York city yearly, and 25,000,000 dozens of eggs go to that market According to the best estimates the United States produces nine thousand millions of eggs annually. France exports eggs yearly to the val ue of 16,000,000. In Great Britain the demand for poul try and eggs exceeds the supply. The wild purslane that grows in all gardens during the summer months makes excellent green food for fowl that are confined. Chop it up and mix with scalded corn meal. One bushel of corn and oats ground together and fed to poultry will produce fifteen pounds of flesh. How many pounds of pork would the same quantity of food produce? A cross between fine blooded light brahmas and partridge cochins will pro duce the largesffowls known. After chickens are a month old, crack ed corn and wheat screenings are better for them than dough. Exhibition poultry is generally a poor investment for breeding purposes. They are generally stuffed for some time previous to the shows, in order to attain the greatest possible weight, for, other parts being equal, the biggest bird gets the prize. t on can buy Books and Stationery cheaper at burke s than any where else in Athens.

On hearing that she herself was dead, Mrs. Nagle, of Brooklyn, went to the Coroner’s office on Saturday in time to cut short the deliberations of the jury. Geo. Wade, the man who had identified a body found in a dock as that of Mrs. Nagle, happened to be making an affi davit of the identity as Mrs. Nagle step ped into the room. Mr. Wade bolted for the nearest window. Mrs. Nagle added to the strange.iess of the affair by declaring before the juryman that she had dreamed for the last three or four nights that she was dead, some unknown power holding her under water. She had nevertheless, been at home about her household duties as usual. The two coincides could not be accounted for by the Coroner. Mrs. Nagle walked away from the Morgue with the man who had come there with her coffin prepared to give her a decent burial. The corpse greatly resembled Mrs. Nagle, except in the coler of the hair; but this difference had not been observed by the people who came to identify#ie remains at the Coroner’s inquest.

Me LANE'S CELEBRATED LIVER PILLS, FOR THE CURE OF Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint, DYSPEPSIA AMD SICK MSADACNS. Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. PAIN in the right side, under the edge of the ribs, increases on pres sure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appe tite and sickness; the bowels in gen eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is generally a considerable loss of mem ory, accompanied with a painful sen sation of having left undone some thing which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensa tion of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exer cise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex isted, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the liver to have been extensively deranged. AGUE AND FEVER. Dr. C. McLane’s Liver Pills, in cases of Ague and Fever, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them a fair trial. For all bilious derangements, and as a simple purgative, they are unequaled. BEWARE OF IMITATIONS. The genuine are never sugar coated. Every box has a red wax seal on the lid, with the impression Dr. McLane’s Liver Pills. The genuine McLane’s Liver Pills bear the signatures of C. McLane and Fleming Bros, on the wrappers. Insist upon having the genuine Dr. C. McLane’s Liver Pili.s, prepared by Flem ing Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa., the market being full of imitations of the name McLane , spelled differently but same pronunciation. ADMINISTRATOR'S SALE.
