A pious father entered a saloon with a horse-whip one night last week, and found his son playing euchre. He tanned the young man’s jacket and sent him home, and then set down and finished the game himself.

The Convention of the Democratic party to send delegates to the National Democratic Convention, assembled in Gainesville, on Wednesday, April 26. On motion, Hon. A. I). Candler was called to the chair, and lion. T. M. Peeples request ed to act as secretary. Ihe roll of counties was called, and the tollowing delegates responded to their names : Banks—Hon. J. J.

It was agreed that the basis of representa tion in the Convention should be as follows: Counties having two representatives in the lower house of the Georgia Legislature, shall be entitled to five votes, and those having one representative in that body, three votes. Hon. J. J. Turnbull offered the following resolution : Resolved, That a committee of one from each county be appointed to suggest to the Convention the names of suitable persons to represent the State at large in the St. Louis Convention. Col. Robert White offered as a substitute, a resolution providing for the election of the delegates by the Convention, without sub mitting the question to a committee. The substitute was lost and the original resolution adopted. The chair appointed Turnbull, chairman : Carlton, Hockenlmll, Thompson. Flakes. Dortch, Peeples. Prather, Martin, White, Montgomery, Vining, Redwine. On motion of Col. Silman, the Convention then proceeded to ballot for delegates to the St. Louis Convention. After some speaking as to the proper mode of electing delegates, the Convention adjourn ed to 2 o’clock p. m. At 2 o’clock the convention assembled. Mr. N. D. Atkinson, a delegate from Mor gan county, appeared and took his seat. The roll of counties was called for a vote for delegates from the Ninth Congressional District, which resulted as follows : Hon. 11. P. Bell and lion. IT. 11. Carlton were elected delegates, and J. B. Silman and N. L. Hutchins, alternates. The committee appointed by the chair to suggest delegates from the State at large to the Convention, retired to make up their re port, and after a short absence appeared and reported as follows : Delegates for the State at large—Hon. James M. Smith, Hon. John 11. Christ}', Hon. R. F. Lester, lion. Geo. T. Barnes. Alternates—lion. John W. Wofford, 11. G. Turner, C. J. Welborn, Miles W. Lewis. The report was adopted. A resolution was then offered and adopted, authorizing the State Executive Committee to elect four delegates and four alternates to the National Democratic Convention, soon to convene in St. Louis, provided an election is not made by the recommendations of the Congressional Districts. A resolution was adopted pledging the support of the Democracy of the 9th district to the Presidential nominees, when made by the St. Louis Convention. Also, a resolution thanking the President and secretary of the Convention for their services. The Convention then adjourned sine die. — Gainesville Eagle. Drinking from a Lady’s Shoe. About a centur3 r ago it was no uncommon practice on the part of fast men to drink bumpers to the health of a lady out of her shoe. The Earl of Dork, in an amusing paper in the Connoisseur, relates an incident of this kind, and to carry the compliment still further, he states that the shoe was ordered to be dressed and served for supper. The cook set himself serioulsy to work upon it, he pulled the upper (which was of fine damask) into fine shreds, and tossed them up in a ragout, minced the soles, fried them in batter, and placed them round the dish for garnish. The company testified their affection for the lodv by eating heartily of the exquisite impromptu. AYithin the last score of years, the writer was present at a dinner of Irish squires, when the health of a beautiful girl, whose foot was as pretty as her face, was drunk in champagne from one of her satin shoes which an admirer of the lady had contrived to obtain possession of. The elopement of a man with his mother in-law is reported from Lansing, Michigan. Thus does anew danger threaten connubial happiness. THE DELEGATES TO ST. LOUIS. The returns from the nine District Con ventions, held last Wednesday, have been received and we know who has been selected to cast the vote of the State at St. Louis. The Districts voted as follows for delegates from the State-at-large : First District: Rufus E. Lester, of Chath am ; Geo. T. Barnes, of Richmond ; John W. Wofford, of Bartow, and A. T. .Mclntyre, of Thomas. Second District: IJ#E. Lester, of Chatham ; A. T. Mclntyre, of Thomas; Jas. M. Smith of Muscogee, and John B. Gordon, of Fulton. Third District: Geo. T.

Barnes, of Rich mond ; Jas. M. Smith, of Muscogee ; R. F. Lester, of Chatham ; J. 11. Christy, of Clarke. Recapitulation : Geo. T. Barnes, of Rich mond, received the votes of the First, Third, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and Ninth Dis tricts — 7 ; Jas. M. Smith, of Muscogee, re ceived the votes of the Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Seventh, Eighth and Ninth Districts— -7 ; R. E. Lester, of Chatham, received the votes of the First. Second, Third, Fifth, Sev enth, Eighth and Ninth Districts—7 ; John W. Wofford, of Bartow, received the votes of the First, Sixth, Seventh and Flighth Dis tricts—4 ; Yv r . A.

Barnes, Smith and Lester received seven of the nine votes cast, and are, there fore. elected delegates from the State at Under the rule which has been adopted the Executive Committee of the State will have to select the other delegate, as Mr. Wofford lacks one vote of having a majority. We presume, however, the committee will not hesitate to elect him, as he received two votes more than either Mr. Hawkins or Mr. Mcln tyre, his foremost competitors. 'The commit tee will also have to select all of the alter nates, as no candidate for this position seems to have received more than two votes. The District delegates are : First District: Jno. C.

FIPThe President has almost entirely re covered from his late attack of “Periodical neuralgia.” Zaoh.

' TERMS, $2.00 PER ANNUM. ( SI.OO FOR SIX MONTHS. The Toilette—The Complexion. Creme pearl, for removing tan, freckles, and pimples, and imparting—we raii9t stop, lor we haven’t space to write what this won derful ( reme Pearl will remove and impart. Tile girls read this advertisement with de light. “Just the thing I wanted !” exclaims one girl. “Mv skin is so sallow that, really I am ashamed of it!” Now, it isn’t one of our belles of the ave nue that makes the above remark. No, in deed, for we happen to know more than one girl who is willing to risk her last fifty cents on her complexion. Girls, turn your eyes from that advertise ment, close your purse upon your fifty cents, tor, depend upon our word, you'll find better use for it. Do you want to be beautiful, girls? A silly question, truly ! As if we didn’t know every girl would like to be beautiful. M ell, in the first place, throw all j T onr Creme Pearl and al! other cosmetics to the dogs. Ol course no girl can make herself really handsome. That is, she can not alter the cast of her features—she cannot make her month any smaller, nor can she take the heavenward turn out of her nose; but she can have a clear complexion, cherry lips, and sparkling eyes—and possessing these attrac tions, no girl would be considered plain look ing. Ihe preliminary step toward beauty and its preservation is early rising. One half hour in the early air and sunshine is better lor your complexion than all the cosmetics and double-distilled waters that were ever bottled. Ihe diet has a great deal to do with the complexion. A young lady inav be very careful about what she eats] but if she gets up in the morning, slips into her wrapper and slippers, sprinkles her face with water, and hurries down to her breakfast, all her care about her diet goes for naught—her complexion will have a sallow, sickly hue. It was believed in the last century that May-day imparted a bloom to the complexion, and the belles rose with the lark, and were to be seen out among the buttercups and daisies wetting their handkerchiefs in the grass and applying them to their faces. Of course their complexion bloomed but no thanks to the May dew, but to the early air and sunshine. There is nothing like plenty of soap and water and morning air, for the complexion. The morning air never gives anybody cold if they are properly clothed. AN ho has not felt new life in stepping out of the heated sleeping aprtment into the morn ing sunshine ? “Oh ! I have no time to take a walk in the morning,’’ is the general cry. My dears, you must take time. Go to bed an hour or a half hour earlier at night and you will have exactly that much time to spare in the morning. And we are sure that perfect health, high spirits, a good appetite, a clear complexion, cherry lips, and sparkling e}'es, will more than repay any pleasure you may lose iu the evening by going to bed a little earlier. Again, how often do we hear girls com plaining that they can eat nothing in the morning—that all they can take is a cup of cotl’ee or tea. Indeed, who can wonder at it, when they walk from their bed to the breakfast table. Now a cup of tea or coffee may do for the belle who lolls on the sola, reading a novel, until lunch is ready ; but for you, girls, who have to do a hard day’s work, something more substantial is required. So if you do not care anything about your complexion, do, for your health's sake, take a ran out in the morning air, for there is nothing like it for sharpening the appetite. ISfTsaac Randolph, the negro who murder ed his w.fe at New Haven in the spring of 1*56, gives notice that he will apply to the next Legislature for a release from State Prison, to which lie was sentenced for life.— The murder created a great sensation, and the story of it is very interesting. He killed the woman with a wash-board during a quar rel. and probably did not intend to strike a fatal blow. After the murder Randolph cut the body up and buried it iu his garden, plant ing corn and beans over the spot. Several days after Robert Coe, the father of the mis- sing woman, related with great impressive ness the particulars of a dream which he had had on three successive nights. He said that Mary' Ann came to him crawling on her hands, and that when lie asked her why she did not walk, she replied that she could not, for her legs had been cut off. Each night she ap peared to him on the borders of a small brook which then ran at the foot of the garden. At last the garden was examined, and the body was found. A Dream Saves a Man’s Life. —A singu lar fulfillment of a dream occurred at Nevada City recently. The wife of Mr. Scott, one of the owners of the Last Chance mine, had a dream on the night previous that her husband was killed by having his head struck by a rock in the mine, and when the signal was given that a blast was to be fired, he and Mr. hoote, both of whom were holding the hy draulic nozzle, retired to a distance of 250 feet. But for some reason Scott became un easy 7 . and tried to get Foote to go still further away 7 , concealing himself behind a tree, in stead of standing beside Foote, as usual.— When the blast w 7 ent off a flying stone struck Foote on the head, killing him instantly. Mr. Scott is firmly convinced that if he had not remembered his wife's dream and got behiud the tree he would have been the man killed. # I ♦ “W'en you see a town nigger gwine roun’ wid a string uv pullets tryin'forter sell’em,” said an old country darkey to a crowd of his acquaintances in the Macon passenger depot the other day, “you jes’ go right long’n fix him a salt place in de chain-gang, an’ tell de calaboose keeper fer ter make room at de table fer anew bonder. He gwine lan’ dar fo* de week's done. Dey ain’t no rnerkils dese days fer ter keep him out.” t here were no clouds, we should not enjoy the sun. NUMBER 48.
