SCRUGGS, EX-MIMSTER.
The mystery -surrounding the final
defeat of Scnfggs as minister to Colom
bia, seems to b« growing more mysteri
ous still. Originally recommend and
endorsed by his own State; Spencer,
Hays and Rapier, of Alabama; Pool
and Settle, of North,Carolina; Brown-
low and Maynard, of Tennessee; it was
thought his fconfirmation was an easy
going thing, and so it was, for he was
promptly sonfirmed. On the -last day
of the season, however,' the nomination
was reconsidered, and postponed until
the pext session. This does not abso
lutely defeat Scruggs, yet it is a long
etrido in that direction. It is. thought
that this patient died for the want of
friends.. In addition, Siipon Cameron,
Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Com
mittee, wants a “pal” of his in that-
place, and it is supposed that'this t“«
bad something to do with *hs matte#.
Again Burnett raked a coHsiderahlc
howl about Scruggs receiving an ap
pointment, based on the service he had
done £lie party in Georgia by running
the “Whig” when Burnett alleges he
was the-back-bone and-sisew. of that
concern. Upon the whrile, however,
Scruggs .bids lair to remain at home, un
less »be*President, .who is, very kindly
disposed towards him, sees fit to provide
for him in some ether quarter.
THE WHfTELEY CHARGES.
1 have made diligent inquiry into
charges affecting the eligibility -and
character of ]V^r. White ley. and know
ing the Herald wants facts, will give
them to you: Mr. Whiteley is an Irish
man by birth, but was naturalized in
1855; hence, this does away with the
noy-naturalization idea. As to the
I have
witness
against him, one Davis, formerly of Au
gusta. Davis charges that Whiteley
has .written letters and demanded mon
ey for his indorsement of candidates for
office. He says he has seen the letters
or at least one of them, but up to this
time has failed to produce any letter
from Whiteley; nor has he cited any
corroborating evidence to sustain his
charge. Besides,' Davis himself is said
to be, not ljke Caesar’s wife, above re
proach, but “muchly” mixed up in some
matters that will not very well bear
ventilation. Therefore I am compelled
under fbe weight of testidgJny to bet
lieve that T^hiteley will come out with
flying colors. Not so, "however, with
Colonel' H ; P. Farrow, for ttie postmast
er at Dalton charges explicitly that Far
row has demanded money from him,
and that he refused to surrender it. I
have it from the lips of a distinguished
Georgian, whose same carries with it
the vety impress of truth,‘ that 'many
charges against Farrow will be sustain

Hand-Shaking.
How did people get into the habit, of
shaking hands ? The answer is not far
to seek. . In early and barbarous times,
when every savage or semi-savage was
his own lawgiver, judge, soldier, and po
liceman, and had to watch over his own
safety,'in default of all other protection,
two friends and acquaintances or two
strangers desiring to be friends or ac
quaintances, when they chanced.to meet
offered to each other the right hand—
the hand alike of offence and defence,
tRe hand that wields the sword, the
dagger, the elub, the tomahawk, or oth
er weapon of war. Kach did this to.
show that the hand was empty, and
neither war nor treachery was intended
A man cannot well stab another while
he is in the act of shaking hands with
hrm, unless he be a double-dyed traitor
and vidian,■•and strives to aim acoward-
ly blow witW the left while giving the
right, and psetending to be on good
terms with his victim.. The custom of
hand-shaking prevails, more or less
amotag all civilized nations, and is the
tacit avowal of friendship and good will,
just as a kiss is of a warmer passion.
Ladies, as every one must have remark
ed seldom or never shake hands with
the cordiality of gentlemen,unless ithe
with bach other. The reason is obvi
ous. It is for them to receive homage,
not to give it. They cannot be expect
ed to show to persons of the other sex
a warmth of greeting which might, be
misinterpreted, unless siieh persons' are
very closely related to them by family
or affection ; in-which cases hand-shak
ing is not needed, and the lips do. more
agreeable duty. Every man shakes ■
hands acco.rding’ to His nature, whether
it'be timid or aggressive, proud or hum
ble, courteous or churlish, rifined or vul
gar,sincere 'or ‘hypocritical, enthusiastic
or indifferent The nicest refinement
and idiosyncrasies of character may
not perhaps, be discoverable in this
fashion, but the salient points of tem
perament and- individuality may doubt
less be made clear to the understanding
of most people by a better study of
what may be called the physiology of
hand shaking. To present the left hand
for the purpose of a friendly greeting
is a Diece of discourtesy—somethingin-
tentional on the part of superiors in
rank to their inferiors, and an act that
no true gentleman will commit. Tjiere
is no reason why it should be considered
more discourteous than it would be to
kiss the left cheek instead of the right;
but, doubtless, the custom that makes
the right hand imperative in all sincere
salutations dates from those early times
when hand-shaking first began, and the
hand that shook or was shaken in friend
ship was of necessity weaponless.
Augusta’s Tiger—He has been Captur-
tfnd is Chained Securely.
From Mr. P. J. Kenny, Section En
gineer on the Augusta'Canal, we learn
that the tiger which has been roaming
about above Augusta, was caught near
Warren Spring, about five miles from
the city, last Sunday night, by a party
canal hands. The animal was found
sleeping m a sort of cave or hole under
a rock, and was captured by means of a
lasscrwhicb was thrown around his neck.
Although'very savage at first, he tamed
down in a short time, and was finally
chained and secured to * Uee.
THE SAVANNAH COLLECTOBSHIP mark «f * eolar or chain was dis-
_ ^ — . • FT-, - -a /4 .wmnil tie nM*lr t.hnS shoVID?
ivered around his neck, thus showing
at ha.-ha<Lprevioasly been in- <**ptivi-
ty. Our surmise, therefore, that he es
caped from some menagerie passing
through the country, *is undoubtedly
eorrect. ’
In the^ave where the tiger was cap
tured a number of bones, apparently
those of goats, were found scattered
about. We understand that a farmer
in the vicinity lost a number of these
animals a day or two ago, and it’ia evi
dent that they fell victims to the rapa
cious beast, which, although not fresh
from his native jungles, had a taste for
goat flesh. *
The tiger is described as being a very
fine specimen. He is in fact, a perfect
beauty. His roar, we understand, was
terrific when he saw that he was in ihe
toils, and the darkeys, standing, in
wholesome fear of his glittering tieth,
made excellent time to the canal camp.
Tl,e tiger will be kept at present
locality until this afternoon, for the pur
pose of giving all the canal hands an
opportunity to view it. • Cal Wagner’s
Minstrel Troupe will go out in' a body
this morning to see it, as they are under
the impresion that it is the same tiger
that-escaped from a traveling menagerie
some tiule since, and whose owner they
are well acquainted with. Those of our
citizens who desire to see the animal
where it is now chained and to get a
glympse of the cave where it was found
will be piloted to the spot by meeting
at Conway’s Kentucky stables at ten
o’clock this morning.
This afternoon about three o’clock the
the tiger will be brought to the city and
led down Broad street,‘to a place which
has been prepared for its residence un
til it can be sent for by its owner. Our
citizens need, feel no alarm, however, as
the animal will be securely chained and
there will be no probability of its doing
any haarn.—Atlanta Herald.
' . A Spirit Baby.
The New York correspondent of the
St. Louis Republican tells the following
remarkable tough yarn in a late letter ;
• There is a school marm down East
who has a phantom scholar, you’ve all
heard about. But a Southern lady was
in this city last week who has a spirit
hahjf. Four months ago she lost a child
of five months. She is a delicate frag
ile. creature, and the loss of her baby
.nearly killed her. Four days after the
little creature’s death, and just at dusk,
she became aware of something pulling
at her dress, and there was her little ba
by back upon her bosom. From that
time to this the baby conies back to be
nursed ns the evening shadows fall. She
cannot see it, but she feels its little
hands paddling about, as a baby’s will,
and those around it can see her dress
disarranged.'her collar pulled, and the
indentations on her bosom made by the
invisible fingers of the spirit baby. Her
physician is staggered. There is no
alteration in her physical condition,
everything goes on as if she was nour
ishing a living child. The lady is not
a spiritualist, is excessively refined and
aristocratic, and she shrinks from hav
ing the phenomenon made public, but
every night sh^ cradles in her arms her
intangible baby. She feels its unseen
mouth warm against her and she bends
with bitter tears above the invisible lit
tle visitant. It is not a desirable pos
session and I should advise h^r to wean
it as soon as possible.
A Dutchmans Trick.
While a dufchinan was passing
through a city in Vermont, a Y'aukce
came up to him and said—
“Shoo, if you treat to cider, I’ll
learn you a trick.”
Sijon agreed. Yank then placed
his hand agaii st a f nee and told
him to strike it as hard as he could.
Shon, not think ng that any harm
could befall him fy so doing, struck
a blacksmith’s blow, but instead ol
hit'ing Yank’s hand, the latter jerk
ed it back, and poor slion stnnkthe
fence board, knocking it off.
“Mein Gott in Himmell” cried
Shon. “Vat you make so foolish !.
I knock mine hand off clean up to
the elbow! Oh, sucker, blitz!, my
poor frau, whah will she say ?”
Poor Shon was b*>un<l to have re
venge; so one da) as he was passing
through a field he espied a man.—
Going ue up to him he said,—
“Mynheer. I shows you von leedle
dr cks for nodings.
As there was no fence or trees
near Sh n put his hand on his mouth
and said—
“Sthrike vast as heard as you can.’
Mynheer blazed away, and Shon
pulled away his hand, and receiving
the blow on his muuth, and turned a
sumersaulu Shon jumped up bis
mouth bleeiing and commenced
dancing witfi pain.

How the Girl of the Period Must Fix
Up to be in the ’’Style.”
Mrs. Burnham, the New York cor
respondent of the St. Lous Republican,
writes as follows on the above highly
important point: *
A lady to be extremely stylish now
must be narrow enough, taken in front,
to pass between the handles of a wheel
barrow without touching either side, but
she can make it up by any amount of
projection behind. Her head must be
narrow; broad heads are very unfash
ionable. Her hair must all go to the
top. Her hat must have all ornaments
massed at the back. The sides must in
all respects be flat and narrow, the hat
plastered on behind, the hair parted on
the left with some curls and . crimps on
the right of the forehead. Then an
embroidered camel’s hair polonaise;
side fastened with immense clasps of
oxydized chain. A skirt heavily trim
med, the fullness taken entirely to the
reaf, and rather shorj. front and sides,
but sweeping quite a! train just behind.
That’s the pretty picture for to-day.
