Several hundred persons have been killed,
and many thousands rendered houseless lately
in Iceland, by the wonderful bursting up of lire
and lava from the earth. Volcanos which have
been considered extinct for years, have sud
denly burst forth in streams o*f lava, which has
destroyed everything within reach. The cele
brated" Geysers of that country, have gone dry,
and are now emitting vast quantities of ashes
and liot smoke, which rises several thousand
feet in the air. The distress in the country is
terrible, many thousands having lost every
thing.
The trial of the policeman Cash, for killing
Col. O. §. Holland in Columbus, Ga., has result
ed in a verdict of guilty of involuntary man
slaughter. He has been sentenced to the pen

deal of excitement in Columbus, incident to
this trial. There were over seventy witnesses
examined. The jury were said to be of the
best material of the country.

James Kilgore was sentenced to be
hung at Columbus, Ga., on the 30th
day of July, for the murder of L. F.
Coulter, and xVlexander Pryor of the
same place, was sentenced to the pen

Cincinnati is said to be the
largest ice consumer in the world
using 80,000 tonsor 160,600,000 pounds.
Senator James, of Nevador, has al
most completed his ice house in At

others at Galveston,New Orleans and
other points south of Atlanta. He
proposes controling the ice trade of
the South, and will do it with cheap
ice. We trust he may realize his ex
pectations.
From present indications every
where, it seems that the year 1876
will be of blessed and unparalleled
abundance. God sends His choicest
benefactions on the centennial year,
and we may not only assert our infi
nite gratitude that peace and unity
are restored to the country, but that
food is more abundant, and the peo
ple richer in America than else
where in the w T orld. Will the end
of such a century be in the dawn of
the millenium ? Who can tell ?
A boy swimming last week in the
Coosa, river, dived in feet foremost.
His feet struck the bottom, when
feeling something sharp in his toe,
he rushed to the surface in a hurry,
thinking, of course, that a snake had
“struck” him. On examination, he
fonnd a breast-pin sticking to his foot,
made in the shape of a cricket-bat
with the inscription “University
Cricket Club 1856.” It is supposed
that some English student had drop
ped it while traveling on one of the
Coosa boats. It was pronounced by
a jewiler, to be the finest kind of gold.
The Republican papers are trying
to induce the people to forget the
rotten and tyrannical record made at
Washington. They beg for a contin
ued lease of power. The eighty thou
sand Federal officeholders want to
hold over—they have no idea of a sur
render without a struggle. The peo
ple have already indicated that their
wishes are, and what they are deter
mined to do. The revolution last
fall was the forerunner of the over
whelming change in 1876. In Ohio
and Pennsylvania the struggle for re
gaining power has commenced, but
the masses are not moving in that
direction. They have had enongh
of the swindles and salary grabs and
extravagance and high taxation of
the party in power.
STRIPPING THE PLUNDERERS.
Proceedings against the members
of the old Tammany Ring have ad
vanced so far that there is no longer
any reason to doubt that judgments
against them will be obtained, and
a great deal of their property reached.
All of their money or property with
in the jurisdiction of the State, includ
ing such of Tweed’s as was alienated
without due consideration, will be
attached.
Mr. O’Coner has in view the insti
tuting of lawsuits in Great Britain,
France, Germany, and in fact in ev
ery other civilized country in which
the Ring may take refuge, and it is
believed that every’ dollar that
can be found in the hands of the
fugitives may be recovered and res
tored.
Genet is in Spain, and is said re
cently’ to have attempted suicide.
Thomas C. Field is living in Belgi
um. Connolly’, who is the wreck of
his former self, was lately seen in
Italy’. James M. Sweeny died in
Paris on Sunday. His brother,
Peter 8., remains abroad. Ingersoll
went to the penitentiary’, “peached”
and was pardoned. The “Boss” has
been for sometime quartered in the
penitentiary, but has lately been re
released by the Court of Appeals.
This liberty, however, will hardly
be very long lived, as he will be im
mediately re-arrested and jailed to
await trial for new charges against
him.
We read with pleasure the account
in the Rome Commercial of Friday’
last, of the valuable quarry of build
ing stone on the land of Col. Seaborne
Jones, between Rockmart and Van
Wert. The Commercial is mistaken,
however, in supposing that there is
no other such stone in the country’.
In the neighborhood of San Antonio,
Texas, there are extensive quantities
of it. There was, and we suppose
still is, a mill on the San Antonio
river, a few miles above the city,
(owned, when we knew it, by Col.
Alsberry) for the purpose of saving
and planing into shape the pieces of
stone taken from those quarries. We
have seen handsome slabs for grave
stones, planed perfectly’ smoothe,
with ornamental head and edges,pre-
pared in that mill,which,when taken
out of the quarry, were as soft as
soap stone, but in a short time became
as hard as any lime stone. There are
quite a number of buildings erected
of the same stone,in the city’—among
them, we think, the famous Menger
Hotel, and Vance’s large store rooms
on the Alabama side of the river. We
do not remember to have heard any
thing said of the durability’ of the
stone, but presume from its being
used for monuments for the dead, it.
was at least thought durable.
We are glad to hear that our neigh
bor, Col. Jones, has such a valuable
deposit on his lands, and hope it will
be extensively used for building pur
poses.
There is a finer opening for a war
with Mexico now, than the United
States has had for a long time. That
y’ellow scoundrel, Cortinas, has been
cutting up high shines. Several of
his raiding thieves came to grief late
ly at the hands of Capt. McNeely’s
party, and Cortinas vows vengeance.
It is feared he will cross the Rio
Grande and wreak his vengeance on
the citizens—probably of Browns
ville. The Mexican Government has
peremptorily ordered him to report
at the city of Mexico, and has sent
Gen. Fuero, with three thousand
men to accompany him, or rather to
see that he complies with the order.
It is thought, if Cortinas believes he
can cope successfully with Fuero, he
will fight him, and then cross over
into Texas and ravage the country.
We shall feel sorry to hear that the
innocent frontier settlers should suf
fer at the hands of this desperado,
but we confess we should like to hear
of something happening that would
cause the United States to wipe out
the Mexican government. There
will never be peace or security on
that frontier until it is done.
Three new witnesses have been
found, by one of whom it is proven,
positively that Beecher did buy poi
son, as sworn to by Mrs Moulton,
and by the other too that the main
charge of adultery is true, as they were
eye-witnesses. If an effort is made
by the plaintiff's counsel to have the
case reopened for the introduction of
this important testimony, the court,
it is thought, will accede to the re
quest. Its admission must be fatal,
while its rejection could not be
otherwise than prejudical to the al
ready convicted defendant. Yet,
at a contest in the Homeopothists
Fair in New York a few days ago,in a
race fora cup to be given to the
most popular preacher, Beecher was
several thousand votes ahead—most
of them, having been cast by ladies.
A Cincinnati girl fell in love with
a Polish Count, who only consented
to marry her when her father agreed
to give him one hundred thousand
dollars down in gold and arranged
an annuity of five thousand dollars
in gold, for her. Unhappily a panic
came and the father lost his fortune.
The Count and Countess were in Par
is when the news came. The Count
merely shrugged his shoulders and
bade the mother of his children adieu
and that evening was seen in opera
in the most magnificent style, evi
dently deeming the marital contract
broken up, because the annuity was
stopped. A dose of lead was the
thing to cure him.
Since the awful disaster at the Cath

“But I was made to believe that

A few years ago there was a man
who had been educated in our West

wood to the St. Louis market. Com

dallying along the roadside on his
way home.
Later he was a clerk in a leather
store, in Galena, very poor.
lie was appointed a Colonel in the
army, and promoted, and promoted
and promoted, until he had the com
mand of all of our armies. Many’
persons always thought that much,
very much of his success was owing
to his superior opportunities that
were given him.
Fiiiaily, a rank and title never be
fore conferred in this country were
created especially for him. He was
made the General of the United States
Army. Then lie was nominated for
President of the United States, and
elected. Next he was re-elected.
Elected and re-elected to what? To
the highest elective office ever created
by man! To an office, to hold
which, in the infancy and begin

Thomas Jefferson and James Madi

OKEFINOKEE SWAMIL
The Atlanta Herald lias a reporter
with the party exploring this great
“dismal swamp” of Georgia, and has
received several interesting letters
from him. . Explores had not found
much dry land, and the reported ex
tensive island in the interior of the
swamp appeared to bo eluding their
search. But they had found gigan
tic trees, principally cypress, red bay’
and almost impenetrable smaller
growth. The water was sometimes
ankle deep and sometimes up to the
armpits. Numerous alligators were
seen and heard, and one large bear
approached their camp one night.
Snakes abounded, but contrary to ex
pectation, the number diminished
the farther they’ penetrated into the
swamp. Mosquitoes did not annoy
much in the day time, but were al
most unendurable at night. One
night they had to lay poles upon
logs as a foundation for a bed—this
being the only way to obtain a dry
place to lay on. They carried chop
ping axes, and cut out a way and
blazed the trees. The water in the
swamp seemed to be drifting in a
South westward direction. The par
ty had made but a few miles in the
interior when last heard from, and
were still on the anxious lookout for
that “island.” It is bebeved by
many that the great Okefinokee can
be drained by canals leading into the
St. Mary’s and the Santilla rivers.
The St. Mary’s, especially, winds
around it for a considerable distance
and with a proximity inviting such
an undertaking. It is said that the
bed of the river is fifteen or twenty
feet below that of the swamp. The
Okefinokee is one of the largest
swamps in the United States, its cir
cumference being estimated at about
180 miles.
A REMEDY YOU HOG CHOLERA.
Under this head the Savannah
News says:
Dr. A. L. Norton, of th/s city, hav
ing observed in the Morning News that
hog cholera is prevailing to a consider
able extent in Bryan and other coun
ties in th is State,offers a remedy fort hat
destructive disease, which lie consid
ers almost specific. In 1864, Dr. Nor
ton resided in Beaufort, S. C., in
which section hog cholera was at
that time fatally prevalent. He tried
various remedies, but with little suc
cess—among others spirits of turpen
tine, sulphate of copper, etc. Final
ly, as a last resort. Dr. Norton tried
arsenic in doses of five grains, made
into a pill, well enveloped in a bolus
made of wheat flour,and fed his hogs
on corn saturated in strong pine-top
tea. The result was that he lost no
more hogs from that disease. He ad
ministered this remedy to a sow
having seven small pigs. She was
so far gone with the disease that she
could’nt stand up and the Doctor was
so confident that she would die that
he caused her to be dragged several
hundred yards from his house. On
the third day, however, the matern
al porker made her appearance at the
gate with the pigs, and they were all
raised—the sow and her progeny
thrived better on the same fare than
the hogs. Norton says he has tried
this remedy repeatedly, and ho is
prepared to recommend it with con
fidence. He has administered it to
pigs affected with cholera in doses
from one grain up according to age,
and his plan of administering the bo
lus which should not be too soft, is
to open the mouth of the afflicted
pig and fling the remedy as far
down the throat as may be practica
ble. The remedy seems to be at least
worth a trial.
And still some peopleare nothappy
because the lessees of the State road
are making some money out of their
lease. We know of one party to this
lease also making money out of it.
It is a party which had an interest
in it long before the lease, and a par
ty who never made anything from
the investment until the lease was
broughtjabout. That party is the State
of Georgia. It is regularly receiv
ing the snug little sum of $25,000 per
month. We see no cause for quar
relling with and abusing the lessees
because they are making Something
out of the State road. In view of
the fact that the State never made it
pay, we think everybody should be
glad of it. Some people are natural
ly envious, however, about such mat
ters. —Constitutional ist .

HOOKER ON SHERMAN.
“Fighting Joe Hooker” is at pres
ent airing himsef on Long Island, at
Garden City, for the benefit of his
health. Commenting on the “Memo
ries” he thus gives Tecumseh a se
vere and well deserved dig in the
side :
He made war like a brigand,
while many other Generals never
forgot that they were making war
on their own countrymen. Gen.
Grant learned the character of his
lieutenant long before the war was
ended, and now, if Sherman is ignor
ed by the administration he can on
ly thank himself for it. The march
to the sea up to Atlanta was well
done, but beyond that the enemy dis
appeared lrom before Sherman’s ar
my and followed Thomas, who de
molished them at Nashville. It is
ridiculous to talk of Sherman’s hav
ing ended the war, put up the price
of gold, or taken Richmond. He
had no more to do with any of these
than the man in the moon." He did,
however, leave a black streak in his
rear, for which, no doubt, some of
his countrymen justified him. I
think, however, that it will some
time or other, be considered dis
graceful by the great Christian world.
The Chicago Times’ Washington
correspondent, treating at length of
the robbery from the Treasury of
forty-seven thousand dollars, says
that no special dexterity is required
in the accomplishment of such a
crime. The worst bungling thief in
the world,if once installed as a clerk,
would have no trouble in stealing
his way to a fortune and avoiding
discovery. The Treasury Depart
ment is criminally careless! in mak
ing up packages each day without
retaining the numbers of the bills.
If the Department only had the num
bers of these bills,it would be render
ed an absolute impossibility for the
theif who has them to get'rid of
them. The Bank of England never
allows a package of money to be sent
out without retaining the numbers of
bills so sent. This action has served
as a very powerful check upon theft
in that institution. In the United
States Treasury no such precaution is
taken, and in the case of the late rob
bery there is no possible means of
identifying the bills stolen.
The Rich.—The Richmond Dis
patch says:
Grant likes the rich, lie gets under
their roof when he goes North. In
Pierrepout he gets a son-in-law of the
millionaire Stewart, whom he tried
to crowd into his Cabinet. Defeated
in that, he comes pretty near getting
the son-in-law. We rather like the
inclination of General Grant in this
matter. Rich ministers w ill hardly
trouble themselves with scurvy
schemes of self-appropriation.
Grant in not the only man in Amer
ica who likes the rich. It is a com
mon failing in all the world, and es
pecially in the United States. The
number of persons w 7 ho prefer the
poor may be put down as a hopeless
minority. Sometimes a candidate
for oilice proclaims himself the friend
of the poor, but we know what sort
of poppy-cock that is.
The new post office building in
Chicago has been so badly construct
ed that it will have to be taken down
and rebuilt from the foundations.
Bad cement and rotten stone have
caused the trouble, which is being
officially investigated by experts.
Incidentally some queer tricks have
been exposed. One of them is thus
related: As some workmen were
turning a large platform stone, for
which the Government had already
paid a good price, they dropped the
weighty article, and it was broken
into three pieces. The contractor
had the broken bits dressed into uni
form blocks, charged the government
again for the stone in its triplicate
form, and also for the recutting, and
utilized the fragments in another
part of the building.
There is an old story about a cler
gyman leaving his parrot, squirrel
and monkey in a room together, and
returning to find that a terrible trip
partite tight had occurred. The
feathers had been pulled from the
back of the parrot, the monkey had
lost pieces of his flesh from various
parts of his body, and the squirrel’s
tail had been bitten off. The parrot
was perched disconsolately on the
back of a chair, and, upon the en
trance of the clergyman, it explained
in a pitiful tone, “We’ve had a hell
of a time.” Wasn’t the Beecher-
Bowen-Tilton three-cornered fight
of somewhat the same sort ? And
couldn’t one of them aptly use
the words of the parrot ?
France now seems to be the reser
voir into which the gold of the
world is pouring. In the first three
months of the present year the im
ports of the precious metals exceed

lion dollars, and almost four-fifths of
the whole was in gold coin and bul
lion. The sources of this supply
were much more various than may
be supposed, for much less than one
half was sent from England. The
United States contributed about ten
million dollars.

imbued with similar unselfishness.
One afternoon last week, at his re
quest, all business was suspended
in the town and the whole popula
tion went to work and planted in
the town about one thousand shade
trees of several varieties. This is
better than “spelling bees.”
A Challenge.— The Washington
Chronicle says: “Before the spelling
mania dies out, why not settle all
outstanding difficulties existing be
tween the North and South by a
grand sectional spelling match. If
the South spells down, let John
Young Brown plant tjie Confederate
flag on Bunker Hill. Jf the North
proves the victor, let Southern De
mocracy agree not to object if we fire
a few guns in honor of Antietam or
Gettysburg.” __ _
A boy in Williamstown, Maas.,
became a man in this way: While
hoeing corn one afternoon he turned
to his father, who was working
with him, and said: “What time is
it father?” “Half past 2,” replied
the senior farmer. Throwing down
his hoe, the son graduated from his
farmer life with this remark: “Twen
ty-one years ago, father, at half past
2 in the afternoon, I was born ; you
can do your own hoeing after this!”
At the heels of the murder of Col.
Jell Johnson, the Rome Commercial
reports the shooting of Mr. Billy
King, from an ambuscade on the
county line between Floyd and Chat
tooga, a few days ago. His wounds
are not of a fatal character. The as
sailant not known.
The small amount of 15,258,000 is
yet required to be raised to “get up”
the Philladelphia Centennial show.
THE MOTOR.
That Invention which is to Itevolu'lonize
the World.
[Cairo Bulletin.]
Recently, the Chicago Tribune contained a
Washington dispatch that a caveat fora novel
invention—a new motive power—had been
tiled in the l'ateut Otlicc. The inventor claims
says the dispatch, that this motor will super
code coal and wood lor all purposes except
warmth and cooking, and that it will revolu
tionize the present system of motive power.
This inventor’# name is Keely. He first dis
covered this principal he has developed in his
motor while attempting to make a power sav
ing w ater wheel; and a few years ago applied
tlie power, which is produced from water with
out fire or chemicals,to machinery— to running
stationary engines. lie first experimented
upon a little engine that would stand upon the
nalm of a man's hand. When the pow er was
let on the engine moved.
The weight ol the inventor who stood upon
the board laid lrom the rung of a chair to the
engine in a way to test its power, could not
stop it. It moved the board and its burden up
and let it down with great ease.
To test the power that had been obtained,
Mr. Keely then made a cylinder of drawn cop
per, encased this in wrought iron, and placed
around both steel hands close together—a pow
erful cylinder. The power was turned on,and
the cylinder was torn to pieces in an instant.
Then a thrcc-horse power engine was built,
and finally a fifteen-horse. These engines have
been run in Philadelphia every day for a year
without the use of coal or wood, withont the
vise of lire, and withont the use of chemicals,
at a cost of not one cent. The fifteen-horse
power engine has been run twenty three con
secutive hours with power manufactured in
less than five minutes.. These facts we learned
from a gentleman interested in the invention
who lias seen the engines nearly everv day,and
who could not possibly have ariv object in tell
ing falsehoods in reference to this wonderful
discovery.
The dispatch to which we have alluded says
the scientific experts who have examined it
state that the invention is entirely practicable,
and will he patented.
If it is practical (and that it is we have not
the shadow of a doubt,) what a revolution the
invention will work in the world! It will su
percede steam, and will solve the
cheap transportation problem. Loco
motives cn run from Cairo to Chicago
withont stopping for either coal or wa
ter. Smokestacks of steamboats will disap
pear, their boilers be taken out, and the great
expense ol' fuel be saved to them. The great
daugcr of lire and explosion will be removed
from rivers, and their surface will iairly swarm
with all kinds of water crafts, propelled by
Keely’s motor, for it can be used as well as on
a greater hull.
The power is obtained from water. By a me
chanical contrivance Mr. Keely changes water
from an unelastic fluid, which can be called by
no better name than cold steam. In other
words, Mr. Keely obtains from water withont
using fire or chemicals the power now obtain
ed from water by fire, and called steam. It is
indeed a wonderful invention, and as we have
said before, is destined to work a great revolu
tion in the world, a greater revolution than
that made aithcr by the cotton gin, the steam
engine, or the telegraph. And in the language
of Col, Sellers, “there’s millions in it.”
