Joqh was terribly opposed to “putain a nigger over the good people of Macon.” Jeff Long, strange to say, was Josh’s first lieuten ant in this fight, and made almost daily pilgrimages to the White House to de feat, as he termed him, the “carpet-bag nigger.” ' In the Savannah post-office matter, Clark had an easy fight for con firmation, as Osgood was piWved to have been a sort of wishy-washy politician, on any side that was strongest. Clark is said to be a very correct map, and will doubtless make a good officer. 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 ed,-end that he verily believes the Pres ident will decapitate him within the. next sixty days. GEN- lafatett m’laws, of Augusta, was in the city a few ‘days since and dined with PresMant: <?rant and family- "They were old class mates together, and the President treated the distinguished General with marked courtesy and friendliness.

Pennington, of ^Opelika, wants to be a territorial Governor, but has about as much chance as his fellow-townsman, McCoy, does to be a foreign consul. Reynolds, the for mer State Auditor, is growing siek, pin ing for the MvbilewCustom House; but his. disease, I fear, will have to run its course. • DIC^ BCSTEED. He of the notorious renown is here, getting on “cheek” to go down in Ala bama and open his’ now “one horse eourt.” The fact is Busteed has had his tail clipped by the last Cpngress, and now roosts quite low, the jurisdic tion of his court only extending to mis demeanors and civil suits where nof more than $100 is involved. More anon. Specks. 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. “Sherusalem!

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. CrUANOS!
