Tub Athens Watchman Is responsible for the following: A gentleman writing from Hart coun ty, a few days ago, Informs us that his son splin tered the broken leg ot a chicken many years ago, which lived to be a ben twenty-one years old! and that, in her 30th year, she laid eggs and hatched a dozen chickens! Tub Telegraph and Messenger says : That incor rigible old reprobate and fallen Doctor of Di vinity so-called, Dr. Mason was in this office again last night, at a very late hoar, and gloriously drank. We fear he will not be brought up short ot one years service in the chain gang, and the sooner the remedy Is administered the better for him, soul and body. Tub "local” of the Savannah Advertiser timo rously announces, that local matters are scarce and Items of interest correspondingly so. We knew that some time ago. He knows where we get our information. ...... .. Thb editor of the San Francisco Chronicle, after stating that he has “no desire to en gage In a personal controversy,” proceeds to characterize the editor of a rlvsl newspaper as "adrunken and cowardly idiot, who disgraces journalism.” A Boston paper tells a story of a professional burglar of that vicinity who took a pride in his vocation, and recorded the results of bis nightly expeditions In a volume paged and lettered af ter the fashion of a merchant’s journal. Bats the Utica Herald: “ The man who thought anybody could milk a cow don’t think so anymore. He bought a cow yesterday, and last evening he took anew tin pall and a ralsln-box and started for the stable. He revolved out of the stable through a window in just three minute*. At the tame time the tin pall was heard wandering among the rafters, and the ralsln-box came bounding out of the door. The hired girl made a reconnoiaance In force, and reported that the cow was standing on her horns, so to speak, and wiggling her hind legs (the cow not the girl) for more world’s to conquer.” Sad.—A Troy paper give* the following sad •cene from real life. One evening, while the au dience was deeply interested in a play at the theatre, a young child was observed walking down the aisle with quick snd anxious step. Her face and eyes betokened weeping, and even yet the un wlped tears were trickling down her pale cheeks. The little one, after glancing hurriedly and anx iously down the aisle, darted forward toward a young woman sitting near the stage, and bending over behind her, faltered out between her sobs, ‘‘Oh, dear 1 oh, dear leather’s—dead 1” The young woman, startled by the sudden Intelligence, ex claimed, ‘‘Oh, my Ood—my poor father!” and hastily arose, and, with the mournful and mourn ing messenger, left the gay place of pleasure fo the darkened chamber of death. The scene was noticed by a number, and for a little time after wards there was not a murmur of applause nor a sign of a smile by the audience. Aa the play pro gressed the depression passed away, and soon the sad scene of real life was forgotten in the painted epresentatlon on the stage. Omar Kinslsv—Thk Athlete 9* Niblo’s.— Down at Niblo’s there la a pantomififi, and the sup prising gymnastic feats of ‘ ‘Lulu,” a very pretlly formed little fellow, who is supposed by the world to b a young lady: This is the same athlete who went all over Europe a year ago with hla father, Signor Ferranti. He is a better exponent of wo man’s parts than Ella Zoyara, who roile here years ago. That young man [Omar Kinsley] lived in Jim Nixon’s family; traveled the streets in light silk dresses with Nixon’s daughters; * ‘smashed” New York youths; even facinated older people. Didu’t Barney Williams give her a diamond bracelet ? For six mouths were you laughed at If you said she was a he. But flualy when Ella ran off with Ella Stiekney, and went to housekeeping, und not only bought a cradle, but had occasion to rock it, the victems of mslplaced confidence looked back on boquets and jewelry with regret. Lulu is a nice little gentleman, who, instead of ‘ ‘ painting birds ” and doing bcantilul needle work, as some of the papere elaborately set forth, rebels against the petticoat government, and says: ‘ ‘The old man hasn’t got but a year more of this ‘Lulu’ business. 1 ain’t near as pretty as I was, and I’m getting uglier every day.”— St. Lorcit Re publican. A Corresponds:,t writing from Hillsborough, Ohio, to a Cincinnati newspaper, tells what he has done to exterminate potato bags. First, with po good result, he sprinkled upon the vines lime, ashes, plaster of parls, and auipher. The bngs were next treated with, turpentine, benaine, splr its of hartshorn, and alcohol, but these fluids only seem to add to their enjoyment of life. Gum camphor and asafotlda were then resorted to. BUU the Insects lived on; and so they did through a course of chloroform, and of sulphuric, muriatic, acetic, nitric, nitro-muriatic, chemicaly pure nitric acid. These did not in the least al feet tlieri appetites. Then Paris green was tried, and this was found rather too efiectiv, as it kill ed both the bugs and vines themselves. It is now proposed to try calomel, which it is thought will loosen the teeth of the insects. —JMavare GautU. Enolis* Estate and Amkhicnn Heirs.—An agent sent to England to find a great estate said to be coming to the Burnham family, returned un successful, and concludes his report as follows: ** And in closing, a word or two of general ap plication in reference to 1 English claims,’ so-call ed, may sot be altogether out of place. It is some what * notorious that in relation to such claims parties interested often think more of the magnifi cence of thfi claim itself than they do of the evidence by which it is supported. Romantic im aginings give to mere loose, traditional statements a value and a significance that belong only to au thenticated records and well established facts. The very distance of the location of these claims helps the glamor by which their victims are se duced; and they are led to Institute legal pro ceedings on a foreign soil, and to seek the recov ery of property before a foreign tribunal, upon a atate of facta and an amount of testimony which, themselves even being judges, would be quite in sufficient to justify similar attempts In a home coart. But the foundation of snch proceedings is the same everywhere—it rests upon purely legal points, whose absence Is fatal in one case as much as In the other. The mere antiquity of many of these claims Is absolutely fatal to them. To “ set up” or prove a will execused two hundred years ago, the effect of which shall be to despoil o e party and endow another, may be pronounced nearly or quite impossible; while the difficulty of making out Identity aftei such a lapse of time,and of bringing the real parties before the court to the exclusion of those who are not so, is exceed- Ugl? great to say the least of Ik" A City of the Dead. Near Nashville, some four milea to the west, on a gentle southernjslope in an old field ol forty or Aft/ acres, that has been in cnltivation for the last half century, there may be seen innumer able contiguous graves, completely boxed in slabs of stone, the capping of which being about a foot below the surface, is oftentimes ex posed by the furrows of the plow In preparing the soil. On digging and removing the cap-stone, the re mains of much decayed human skeletons are inva riably found, in a heap, with the skull on top, as though the dead had been thus entombed in a sit ting posture; but the dimensions ol only a foot and a half in depth, between the foundation stone and the cap, would seem to indicate that the dead must have been kept above ground until the soft er parts mouldered away, and then the bones alone interred in this singular manner, or that the body had undergone some kind of cremation. The box-like structure of these endurable recap tacles ia neat, and put together with much skill. Our oldest citizens say that the Indians who in habited the country immediately preceding the whi’e man, had no knowledge or traditions of the people buried here; and the very great number of graves to be found thus contiguous, probably exceeding a hundred thousand, evidently indi cates a very densely populated country at the time. Works of art, such as vessels for holding water, curiously mude ot orthis shell baked by fires, and ornamented with many striking designs that are bold and show a cultivated taste, are frequently found in these box-like tombs. Some of these may now be seen on exhibition, among other cu riosities, in our great State Exposition. In natural history, as taught by geological in vestigations, there appears to have been a com paratively enlightened period of mankind long anterior to any account obtained from written history, and many signs of this age are visible in this State. May not this great neciopolis, or an cient city of the dead, be one of them ? Commer cial Reporter. John Chinaman and thb “ Pigtail Order.— On the third inst., when the order for clipping the hair of the Chinese prisoners in the county jail came up at the meeting of the Board of Supervi sors of San Francisco for final action (it wa6 finally passed, but vetoed by the Mayor,) the Rev. O. Gibson, Chinese missionary, appeared before that body with a petition, signed by many leading Chinese merchants, which he had translated and was invited to read. The paper was a statement of the Chinese question from the Chinese point of view, and alter stating that public sentiment was strongly opposed ta them and that discriminating laws had been enacted againßt them, called atten tion to the fact that the policy of the Chinese Government was strictly exclusive, and its tra ditional policy had only been given up and trea ties of friendship and interchange made after the defeat of its armies by fdreign powers. Under these treaty stipulations, dictated to China by Christian Governments, the people of Europe and America have freely entered the country for all purposes, and they have caused more dissatisfac tion than have the Chinese In this country. * The declafmers against us because we supplant white laborers In this country ought to know,” say the petitioners, “what is well known to all intelli gent Chinamen, that the introduction of Ameri can and English steamers upon the rivers and coasts of China has thrown out ot business a vast fleet of junks, and out of employment a whole army of men larger in number than all the Chi nese now in America.” Attention is further called to the great commer cial relations between the two countries, and the significant fact that the Chinese Government has sent and continues to send ooies of youths to America to learn our language, customs and laws; also, that foreigners, under stipulations, are not subject to the laws of China, bt*t carry their own code of law into all parts of the Country. Speak ing of immigration in general, the petitioners ask why there should be such great opposition to the Immigration ot 15,000 or 80,000 peaceful Chinese annually, when 400,000 Europeans—one third of whom are plotters against onr Institutions—are received with open arms. “In the name of our country, in tne name of justice and humanity, in the name of Christianity, as we understind it ” the petitioners say, “ we protest against our peo ple while living in this country under existing treaties.” They then make the following propo sition : “ Finally, since our presence here is com sldered so detrimental to the country and is so oflensive to American people, we pyopo.se and promise on opr part to use all our influence to carry this proposition into effect. We propose a speedy end perfect abrogatiun and repeal of the present treaty relations between China and Amer ica, requiring the retirement ol all Chinese peo ple and trade from the United States and the withdrawing of all American people and trade and commercial intesconsse whatever with China. This, perhaps, will give the American people an opportunity of preserving for a longer time their civil and religious institutions, which, it is said, the immigration ol the Chinese is calculated to destroy. This arrangement will also, to some ex tent, relieve the Chinese people and Government from the serious epabarrassoients which now dis turb to the traditional policy of their sages and statesmen, i. e., "Stay at home and mind your own business and let all other people do the same.” This is our proposition. Will American people agree to it ? Will the newspapers, which have lately said so many things against ns and against our residence in this eonntry, will they now aid us in bringing aboqt tfris, to us, desirable state of affairs T In the meantime, since we are now under sacred treaty stipulations, we humbly pray we may be treated according to those stipu lations until such time as the treaty can be re pealed and commercial intercourse and friendly relations comet to an end.”— Delaware Gazette. A Votaoh Across The Atlantic.—Mr. Wash ington H. Donaldson, of Reading Pa., formaly a gymnast, and since 1871 a balloonist, has made a proposition to the Boston city government to make an ascension from this city on the 4th of July, as a starter on a voyage across the Atlantic* He has attracted considerable attention by giv ing trapeae performances fron? bis 'balloon while making ascensions. He claims that a balloon trip can be made across the ocean in two days and half although he Intends to provide for • trip of thirty days. He proposes to construct three bal loons, one nearly three times the size of the others, the latter of which will be used to supply the big one with gas as it gradnaly looses lifting power. The balloons will hold some 285,000 feet of gas, and will have a lifting capacity of 11 000 pounds, besides the weight of the gas chambers themselves; netting, basket, lifeboat, etc. It will take 2,700 yards of drilling for the big balloon; but with the aid of sewing machines he thinks he can get it in a month’s time- The basket in which he proposes to ride will be a comfortable covered room with a cellar in which to stoW water and food for the trip. The room will have windows on all sides,a lime stove will give abundant heat for warmth and to cook with, while at night a vacuum tube, with a platinum w.re at each end will fnrnish abundant light by sending a current of electricity along the wire. Beneath this chamber there will be an open platform or balcony, and beneath that one of the Francis metal lifeboats, provided with oars, sails, 'instruments, food and water, will be suspended ready at any instant to receive the aeronauts should a near approach to tha water taka place tor say reason. This lifeboat FORSYTH, GEORGIA. TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 22. 1873. will have four large air chambers, and will be provided with a cabin in which the men can be protected from the weather. By means of an in genious contrivance the center of gravity can be made beneath the bottom ot the boat to prevent upsetting it. He proposes to take two men with him, and desires them to be scientific men. He states that Prof. Wise the well known aer onaut, desires to take jthe trip. Dr. Donaldson estimates the coef of the preparations about 63,000, and desires the city to assume the cost and hs will give his Bervicee.— Boston Journal Glass Bonnets—The Latest Noveltt foe Ladies.— Whatever may be said of the aim or re sult of the Vienna Exposition, it has certainly been the means of trinuiDg together the choicest products of the world, and of giving the people ot various nations new ideas concerning matters of which they have never before thought. In no direction has a wider range been given than in the manufacture of glas3, and new forms, desigui and uses of this material are now presented to the world for the first time. Conspicious among these is a lady’s bonnet cr head dress, which, for ele gtnee and beauty, cannot be excelled. The idea of a glass hat is certainly novel, and many objec tions might be made to it on account of the fra gile material, but in reality the glass is much stronger and more durable than the delicate ma terials now iu use for the same purpose. These articles, as may be imagined, come from Bohemia and they have already gained a fair share of popularity. Specimens have been sent to Paris and London, and that we should not be behind hand in so important a matter, an enterprising firm in this country have imported quite a num ber, and will immediately begin their manufac ture, to be ready for the fall season. These hats are of the most delicate and beauti ful design, and such is their adaptability to all costumes and occasions that they will probably soon come into universal use. The body of the hat is made of loose pieces of fine glass, fastened closely together by a gutta-percha band, which allows it to conform to the head. Inside there is a lining ol silk, which is the only piece of fabric used in the manufacture. The trimmings on the outside are after the pre vailing mode, consisting of wreath, flower?, feath ers and ribbons, all made of delicately spun glass of wonderful beauty. Of course all the trimmings have their natural colors, and by a patent process the glassy appearance is so well subdued that the material is not suspected. The most beautiful humming birds and flowers are used for ornamen tation, and colored so naturally that In appear ance they are superior to the usual artificial goods. It is almost incredible the small amount of glass that enters into the construction of one of These hats, for the thread is so fine that a great space is covered without any perceptible increase in the weight. They weigh but a few ounces, or about one fifth of the average weight of the present style. With the care that is usually given by a lady to anew hat, these new articles will out-last twenty of them, for there is no wear to them; moisture will not stain them, and,if dust should settle to din their beauty, it is readily removed by a single spray of water. The colors are so blended that for ordinary occasions they preeent a general neutral tint, but at a small additional expense they can be made to flash and sparkle like dia monds, either in the sunlight for a carriage cos tume, or in the blaze of a ball room, or at the opera. Their cost is insignificant, and as it is understood several wel!-kv.own films are going into the business extensively they may soon bo expected upon our streets. It is probable, how ever, they will not be readily known, as the re semblance to the genuine materials is so great.

Barley, 48 p ound, Glimfshs or Live in Washington.—l cannot resist the temptation to refer to the recent pardon out of the State prison of Mrs. Caroline E. Vree land, through the instrumentality of of Vice-Pres dent Henry Wilson. Mrs. Yreeland was sen tenced for five years for attempting the life of the alleged betrayer of her pretty daughter Florence, and when pardoned had over a year to serve. I happen to know mneb of the antecedents of this lady and her pretty daughter, and I may safely say that the charge made against the party whose life she attempted is untrue. Years before Mrs. Vreeland (the same who some years ago figured in the great divorce suit against Vreeland, a Jer sey miser, for alimony) resided in Washington, and she and her daughter were great favorites with Senators and Representatives, and gossip- Baid had great lobby influence, and could obtain special favors from a President who reached the executive chair through accident. In 1867 I saw Caroline E. Vreeland a prisoner in Jefferson Mar ket on the charge of stealing a piano from Dicker Brothers of this city, but she escaped eonviction by telegraphing to Washington and having it re turned to the firm in New York. She and her blushing blonde daughter Florence subsequently visited gentlemen’s offices selling books and con cert tickets, and one day Florence disappeared I froDa her parent’s habitation. The mother called : on Inspector Jameson to cause her arrest at Buf falo, and a few days after the pretty Florence re turned, having left her friend, a Chicago lawyer, at Niagara Falls. Florence still lives, j and has a large circle of gentleman admirers at her up-town rendeavous. The Poughkeepsie pa pers that first exposed the part taken by Henry j Wilson in securing Mrs. Vreeland’s release states that a stylish coach and footman received her from the custody of the prison officials. A Mrs Greenlief, matron of the prison, who, it is alleged met the Vice President at Sing Bing station before Mrs. Vreeland’s discharge, left the prison with her. I may say that a condition of the pardon is that she is to reside outside of the State This adventuress, who is in such high lavor with the V ice-President, is an ex-wife of Richard L. Shelly formerly tue New Orleans correspondent of the Tribune, who in 1867 was appointed by Gen. Mower clerk of one of your courts, and became mixed up in so many affairs la yonr city Ken tucky Yeoman. “Has that gal got fits •” asked an old farmer 1 who had paused to sees fashionable young lady go through her calisthenic exercises in the gar den. “No replied the servant girl; that’s jim inastics.” “So,” said the farmer in a pitying tone ‘‘how long’s she had ’em?” “in Grod we Trust.” ATLANTA ADVERTISEMENTS.
