CITY AND COUNTY AFFAIRS.
A CARD.
The patrons of the Bainbridge
Male and Female Institute Will
please remember that our rates of
Tuition were reduced for the sake of
monthly payments.
All those who withhold our dues
till the close of the Term will be
charged according to the old rates.
Allen & CwifcHELL.
The Eclectic Magazine for April
is at hand. It is a splendid number,
and the Eclectic is undoubtedly the
leading magazine of the country.—
The subscription price is $5 00 per
annum, and though it sounds high.
it is by far the cheapest publication
i n the Union. Address E. R. Pelton,
publisher, 108 Fulton street, N. Y.
Nor Quite.—I learn that some
busy-body has circulated a report to
the effect that in consequence ot my
investing heavily in inventions I
have relinquished my profession of
Dentistry. This is therefore to in
form tiie public that such is not the
case. I still practice my profession,
and ain always glad to serve my
customers.
M. L. Battle.
Dentist.
The Steamboat Excursion.—In
order to quiet the public mind in re
gard to the contemplated steamboat
excursion, we assert most positively
that it will take place some time
during the month of May. A move
inaugurated by the Democrat seldom
■ever fails.
May Party.—YVc learn that the
pupils of the Allen Institute are go
ing to have a May Celebration and
Pic Nic. A Queen lor the occasion
will be elected by the ballots of the
male portion of the school. Success
to them.
Personal.—Our friend Otis Jones,
of Siuioaton, Jones & Hatcher, To
bacco Manufacturers, Atlanta, Ga.,
was in the city Tuesday and yester
day. W’e thank him heartily for
that box of delightful cigars, better
than which even Grant never puffed.
Otis Is winning golden opinions from
the business men of Southwestern
Georgia, and his bowse is doing a
good trade on account hereof.
May the Fay.—Our readers will
all remember this charming and pre
cocious lit! le child who visited this
city with the Templeton troupe. A
paragraph is now going the rounds,
clipped from the Italeigh Sentinel,
which says: “Her mother, Mrs.
Carpenter, was the daughter of a
wealthy and well known citizen of
Middle North Carolina, who at her
demise desired that her two daught
ers (May being one of them) should
become actresses.” May the Fay
if she lives, will certainly meet the
expectations of her mother.
Bone Fryer.—'This mania is rag
ing among thejittle male cherubs ol
the masculine gender in the city, as
every one of them goes rattling along
with a pair of bones.
Mayor's Court.—David Burgess,
(not of the "Virginia House of Bur
gesses) a black darkey male nigger
man of the masculine gender, ac
cording to Marshall Probe, and gov
erned by about two quarts of fighting
whisky, was tip liefbre his Honor on
Monday last for disturbing the peace
of the citv by cursing with intent to
assault Mr. L. B. Ehrlich, Mr. E.
“went for” the said consequential
darkey, and was about to cut him up
into little bits of pieces about the
size of New Fjundland, bttll-terrier
poodle omnibuss horses, made out of
Bologna doggages,- when Probert
“sailed in” with his usual alacrity
and shielded the said African from
harm, although at his imminent peril.
• His Honor taxed the said dew
drop de Afrique $5 and costs for
kicking up the row, and Mr. E. the
same lor attempting the dangerous
feat of hacking said dew drop from
the protecting arms of the Marshall
with a sharp-edged tool, known as
the hatchet, so called from its re
semblance to the countenances of
some hatchet-laced folks wc know of.
Returned.—Messrs. W. C. Rock
well, T. B. Hunnewell, andJ. Stein-
iuger have arrived from New York.
They brought on large stocks ol"
Spring Goods, and will appropriate
ly display tl’eir inducements through
the advertising columns of The
Democrat.
Somebody drove our Marshall up
to his fantastic heels in Henry
Smart’s beaver “bee-gum,” last Sat
urday. Probe has been limping
ever since.
Mr. Nussbaum, one of the gentle
manly salesmen of H. B. Ehrlich,
requests us to inform those inter
ested, that he resigned the Hook &
Ladder Company, solely on account
of the absence of Mr. E., Mr, N.
now having to devote his entire
time to the store. In this connec
tion we are happy to say to our
readers that Mr. Ehrlich has in store
one of t he finest stocks of groceries,
confections, liquors, tobaccos, se-
gars, etc., iu the market.
Wildmax’s Troupe.—YVc are re
quested to inform our readers that
Mr. F. J. Wildtnan, and his theat
rical company, will lie in our city
about the 1st of April, or soon there
after. lie has a talented company.
Simon A. Weil.-—We refer the
public, and especially the ladies, to
the big advertisement of Simon A.
YVeil in The Democrat to-day. lie
has a splendid stock of goods, is a
clever gentleman, and is fast win
ning his way to success. In fact,
everybody likes Simon, for his clev
erness and fair dealing. Go and see
him and, our word for-it, you will
never regret having done so.
The Allen Institue—Declama
tory Exercises.—Last Friday even
ing we visited this school without a
previous announcement, but got iu
only in time to hear some ef the
boys’ speeches, and the spelling
classes. YY’e were sorry that we did
not have the pleasure of listening to
the compositions of the girls, but we
learn they were very good.
Someot the boys spoke remarkably
well, considering Ihe short time in
which they had to learn their pieces.
The manly little fellow—we forget
bis name—who spoke “The Boy
Stood on the Burning Deck,” evinced
considerable oratorical talent for one
so young, and snowed deep sympathy
foi the heroic boy.
YY'Jieu the “Burial of Sir John
Moore” was rendered, we were
forcibly reminded of our school-boy
days, when we attempted to speak
the same piece, ami failing, had the
exquisite pleasure of being trounced
by a teacher of the stamp that
“Percivol Keene” was tutored
under.
Mr. Allen remarked that he was
always glad to haye the public attend
these Friday evening exeroises.
Morgan & Harrell, we are glad
to note, are doing a thriving busi
ness at their New Drug Store ; and
the reason of it is because they are
the cleverest of men, and keep a
full stock of Drugs.
Go to Jake Borns ; he waDts to
Let it be Recorded !—Yes, let it
be remembered that in addition to
his large stock of guns and pistols,
James YVatt has a supply ol mechan
ics’"and planters’ tools, nails, axes,
pot-ware, etc. Also a large lot of
cotton and Manilla rope. Special
attention is called to his assortment
of storehouse and other locks, pock
et ami table cutlery, razors, scissors.
Guns and pistols repaired.
M. M. Cohen has a very large
stock of dry-goods, groceries, etc.,
in store ami to arrive. He sells
goods cheap lor cash or country-
produce. Give him a call.
Dick McGoldrick is no lawyer,
nether is he a doctor—but he is the
best blacksmith in town. Plantation
work lie makes a specialty. He can
be found at the shop on the corner
of YVater and West streets. All
work warranted.
Our readers have all heard of that
magnificent collgction of jewels,
precious stones, etc., that the Queen
of Sheba was so good as to give old
man Solomon. YVeil, Subers, of the
Bair.bridge Jewelry Store, has a
much more magnificent collection, be
sides watches, clocks, cutlery, toys,
etc. Go and see him.
Removal.—Dick McGoldrick has
removed his blacksmith shop to the
building on the corner of YY’ater and
YY'est streets, where he is ready to
do all kinds ef work in his line.
Dr. J. D. Hoyl & Bro. have in
store the most complete assortment
of Lamps and Lamp Fixtures ever
brought to this market. Pure drugs,
close attention to business and the
liberality of the proprietors have
given this house the enviable repu
tation of having the best drug es
tablishment in Southwestern Geor
gia.

My Sleeping Love.
Oh, envious task ! to sit and watch
The breathings of my sleeping love,
And mark the features of that state
Dividing life from realms above.
How sweet her slumber ! On her lids
The angel, Peace, hath set its seal;
And to her couch the Guard forbids
The slightest care to steal.
How beautiful! She would compel
The tribute of a stoic’s kiss;
Seraphic purity might dwell
At such a shrine as this;
And here it dwells—unstained and bright,
Tko’ half concealed by modest fear;
Yes. were this soul dissolved to-night,
I’d see ah angel there.
How sweet her slumber! None but her
Whom heaven hath numbered for its bliss
Have promise of such calm repose—
Such perfect rest as this.
Unconscious of the woes and eareg
That weigh us down in waking hours,
Hef genlle spirit only wears
A burden now of flowers.
She dreams ! her radiant features speak
Of themes that waken deep di-light,
For smiles adorn her lip and cheek—
Smiles beautiful and bright.
Oh ! could I lift the jealous veil
That doth those joyous thoughts conceal,
The spotless page a sinless tale
Would presently reveal.
And hark ! her parting lips disclose
Some cherished secret long repressed;
Mark how her cheek with blushes glows.
Low lsenves her swelling breast!
She breathes a name—amid the dream—
The soul of Love is in her tone !
Her cheek with deeper blushes teem—
That name—it is my own.
Joy! joy ! My bliss is perfect now—
The boon I craved is mine—is mine;
Upon my bended knees I bow,
And thank Thee, God divine !
By. night, or day—awake—asleep^-
The signals of her love I see;
I know that love is pure and deep,
And centred all in me.

Our New York Letter.
A VIEW INTO THE OTHER WORLD—A SPIRITUAL
SEANCE—THE PEOPLE WHO VISIT MEDIUMS—
A NOVEL FEATURE IN LIFE INSURANCE—THE
ERIE WAB—FASHIONABLE CHIT CHAT—THE
THEATRES AND WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
New York, March 23, 1872.
One’s rambles in the metropolis are some
times pointed by queer episo’es. The other
day, for instance, a friend wa'itedrae to visit
that mysterious being yclept a medium, and,
not being at all averse to the taking of a
fe x me ,1a) photographs in I ha spiritual epher
I went. We found the ante-room thronge !
by persons in waiting, and each “interview”
or seance occupy ing frot.i twenty minutes
to hair an hour All of these individuals,
without exception, evidently belonged to the
better classes, and I subsequently leaned
that the place was frequented by some of
the most distinguished ministers, bankers,
editor, merchants ai d politicians of the city
and country. In fact the fimeof the medium
lias excusably excited the curiosity of the
intelligent, and the wonderful manner in
wh ch he unravels the mysteries of the past
and lifts the veil of the iuuire—brings you
face to face, as it were, with friends and
relatives long dead, describes trie minutest
details of personal npperauee, ami converses
with tb< nt as if they were in the flesh is
well calcu.ated to make the sceptic exclaim,
like Stephen Blackpool, * It's ail a muddle
—all a muddle."
The Boom in which the seances are held is
an ordinary parlor, furnished with some ele
gance, but in the usual style, with piano,
book-case, sofas, and a large Centre-tublr.
There is certainly no machinery, and none
ap .eats necessary. The medium is a large,
handsome looking man, say six and-thirt,
years of age, blak haired, brown eyed, gen-
t e voiced, and with manners that are the
peifection of good breeding. As my friend
and myself were ushered in. he arose and re
marked “You mast excuse me, gentlemen,
if 1 confess that 1 lee! the influence Laving
me, hut the truth is 1 atrf almo t physically
exhausted, having sat here for nearly leu
hours ; still 11 ni impressed that we sb«)/
have some manifestation.’’ _ tmre enough,
we had scarcely drawn, up to, the lab e
when raps were audible on the floor, on the
chairs, on the walls, on Che piano and else
where. ‘ Your spirit li'ienis seeiri glad to
meet, you.” observed the medium, who by
this time had lighted a cigar and was lean
1 g back iu bis ea-y chair. “Wine the names
of tho-e with whom you would like to .com
municate on those small biis of paper, and
then fold them rightly.” My friend then
did si , and they were then thoroughly mix
ed. One by one the medium took them, laid
each in turn against his forehead, and called
out the persons designated : “That’s So- mU
so, your grandfather; that’s Ju.ia, your first
wife; that’s your brother; that’s your Iriend
Robert who died iu St. Petersburg,” and So
ou. “By the way,” added the spiritualist,
“Iheie is a message for you from St Peters
burg " The rapping was vehe cent, and the
medium we: t into some astonishing details-
ah* ut an old railroad contract that remain
ed u> settled-
“I should l ; ke to ask a few questions men
tally,’ s^i my companion. .“All right, sir;
write them on a pajier and told them so that
I cannot s-#them.” It was done repeatedly,
and in each instance the an were weie prompt,
correct and in detail. As * lest, eevetai of
the questions were written in the Russian
language and one or two in short-hand, but
it -eemed to make not the slightest difference
iu the responses. Suddenly, the medium ob
served, “Your Russian friend desires to give
you further proof of his presence w.th you,
by writing his rsineon my aim.” The sleeve
was drawn up, and we both distinctly saw,
in red leUers, between the medium* elbow
and wrist, a signature that was at o ice re
cognized. I threw a p.cuiiar seal upoH ihe
table, and asked. “What can you teli me
about that I” Nothing now,” was the reply,
“yet t sh mid 1 ke to have a copy of the seal,
for sometimes the most wysteridus informa
tion comes to me in an unexpected way.
He placed the seal in his pocket-book, but
in five minutes thiew it out, with the le-
inark, * 'I don’t want ii alter all, for the
spirits have impressed it on the sfoes of my
portmonujie.” and he showed me as perfect
a fac simile as if it had been taken iu wax.
Tne iu'erview lasted three-quarters of an
hour, and it would requ.re two or three col
umns to describe all that was said and done.
Let it suffice, therefore, that 1 saw enough
to atisfy anybody who believes I is sense*

of the French. Who touched the main
spring, who authorized the coup d’etat, and
what is the real object sought to ha obtain
ed by it cm only be surmised ; but the pub
lie believe that there is a very large Ethio
pian somewhere in the woodpile. Tin-
event speedily caused speculation, and Wall
street saw another of its periodical spasms.
In three days Erie advanced from 37 to 47
and hundreds of thousands of shares changed
hands. Pence ^having been restored.it is
probable that the road will hereafter be
managed in suffi a wav ns to pay interest
upon its immense we-rith, and to salisf.
both the American and English stock
holders.
A notable change has likewise taken place
jD ihe Knickerbocker Life Insurance Company,
of which Erustus 0. Li man. heq., is the Pres-
;d ent, and I allude to it because of 'he many
thousand s of policy holders who are scattered
throughout the country. Heretofore, wh itevei
might have been the advantages claimed for
other schemes proposed by life insurance or
ganizations, a policy never ha* possessed a
tangible value, and benefit accrued to the bolder
before death only when the policy was surren
der- d or in the shape of i educed annual prem
iums. Under the now arrangement of the
Knickerbocker, whi h has been the result uf
thirty years of practical experience, every
policy will entitle the holder thereof to with
draw in eash at the end of each year a certain
speci6e d value, or he may allow the amount to
remain in the company and participate in 'he
< enefit inuring from its investsments. The
annual interest on this sum will never be less
than four per ceot and as much more as the
success of the company for the preceding fiscal
year may warrant. The advantage of this sys
tem is two-fold. First, it will materially relieve
those who are unable from any cause to con
tii-ne the payment of the annual premium, and
make the policy equivalent to a bond on which
money can be borrowed, therefore creating a
it gotiab'e va'ue; and, secondly, it makes the
company a savings bank, in which not 01 ly are
the interests of the family protected after the
death of the holder, but he while living secures
an annual return for his investment proper
tionate to the success of the company.
The plan has solicited :h ■ most favorable
comments from the press, and the fact that it
emana ed from so conservative and solid an
institution as the Knickerbocker is likely to
give an impetu to life insurance greater than
ever. The Knickerbocker Company, by the
way, have j ust purchased and moved into a
magnificent ma-blc building on Broadway,
opp-.site the new Post Office in the Park, the
annual rental for which alone pays nearly one
third of the cost.
As a part of the fashionable froth of the day,
t .nay interest your lady readers to know that

and our ver^ corrections themselves
made the text, for fresh misrepresen
tations by the paid whippers-in ol'
the small, but arrogant, clique of
dissatisfied Republicans with whom
the Democracy are called upon to
catch scent and open cry. The sound
sense which we believe inherent in
the ranks of the Democracy; the
assured position of the Register in
tnose i auks, and the utter incapacity
of the time-serving press to influence
one sound Democrat, have made us.
quiescent under its indecent misrep
resentations of us and its wilful rep
etition.
But now we are truly betrayed in
the house of our friends; lor, unless
tho types have made it, our brother
of the Appeal labors under a griev
ous error.—if not about- himself,
surely about us. YY’hile wc cannot
say of ourselves, as he does of us,
that we are the wisest, we surely
accept the true and staunch he ap
plies to our Democracy. Such being
the case, we cannot see how the
bare possibility could otter itself to
his mind that we ever, for a moment,
“approved the New Departure."
There must be an error in his
words, not in his intention; anu we
emphatically call upon the editor of
the Appeal to set us right before
those readers to whom he has (we
hope) unintentionally misrepresent
ed us. Y\ r e ask this simple justice,
expecting a different result than has
followed similar requests of late from
the hired lick-spittles who criuge at
the feet of their own fear-magnified
mistress, Liberal Republicanism.—

The April number of Lippincott’s
Magazine, among a multitude of
other good things, has the following
poem from the pen of Mrs. Marga
ret J. Preston, of Y'irginia. Mrs.
Preston has no equal among female
poets of America. A great, strong
pulse, like that which throbbed
through the breast of Mrs. Brown
ing’s poems, beats steadily in the
graceful measures of her verse. She
has, undoubtedly, a vast deal of true
poetic faculty, and she is developing
it to the honor of her country:

Shall the bombshell iu harmlessaess burst,
And the shot that has tunowed the city,

Unscathed leave the best of your foemen,
Yet ye in your cowardice fell.

Could never have stooped to betray !
But Time shall avenge him: each lowland.
Hill, plain, with his story shall swell,
As they say: The Gironde had its Roland—
The Commiflie —Rossel!
