Castrlur in Hie Catacombs
[From bis recent work.OM Rome auc.l New Italy]
; Above, the temples were magnificent;
surrounded with gardens and meadows,
wbere innumerable birds snug in avia
ries: marblo vestibules adorned with
wondrous statues, where the cunning of
the sculptor gave to the inert stone all
the warmth and vitality of the soul;
museums for the preservation of the
swords of the early heroes, and of the
trophies they toot in field and city;
while below in the darkuess—close to
those wonders of history, close to those
miracles of art—lay the sombre temple
of Christian worship, entered like the
dens of wild animals, and peopled by
some humble figures symbolical of sor
row, pursued by despotic cruelty, and
often tortured in druken orgies.
Then these fanatics in creed, super
stitious by temperament, secluded in
darkness, believers in the crucified Jesus,
these insane preachers, these passionate
sectarians —the feeble, the poor, the ig
norant —were, after all those summoned
to awaken and to call down the living
dame of the spirit on the intoxicated
and corrupt world, which poisoned with
its orgies and its vices not only the hu
man conscience, but eveu material na
ture.
What strength have they ? Arms ?
Their word. What riches ? Their faith.
What power ? That of resignation and
suffering. Had they legions ? The le
gions of martyrs. Had they property ?
That of the tomb. What they really
possessed was a force which is uncon
querable, a weapon that is never blunt
ed,riches that cannot be lost, possessions
tlmt cannot he exhausted.
The mysterious light without shadow,
and which grows not dim; the living
lire, which quickens and is not quench
ed; the immortal soul of nature, the
acting spring of society, the air in which
the Soul is free; an unfailing faith be
stowed on them by Heaven with the gift
of miracles. The conquered were con
querors; the proscribed became power
ful; the dead were givers of life; the
weak, with hands pierced by the nails
of the cross, vanquished tile savage
fierceness of barbarians.
Important to Tax Pajers.
The following official circular from
the Comptroller General to the Tax
Collectors of Georgia will bo interesting
to the tax payers. Those who do not
pay their taxes in time for the Collector
to make his return by the time specified
will suffer the penalty:
Comptroller Gen'l’h Office, )
August Ist, 1873. j
To the Ta.r Collectors of Georgia :
The law requires me to have the taxes
Collected by December loth, next.
I shall, therefore, expect and positive
ly require every Tax Collector in the
State to settle with this office on or be
fore that time, or they must sutler the
p malty. Close your books, issue. fifas,
etc., in ample time to make settlement
as above. Very respectfully,
W. L. Gollsmtth,
Comptroller General.
It will thus be seeu that Tax Collec
tors have no option. They must close
their books by November Ist. so as to
have twenty days publication notice to
defaulters.
Cube for Cboup.—Sudden changes in
the weather at this time are very severe
upon children, and they are extremely
liable to attacks of croup. The follow
ing recipe, which it is claimed will give
immtd.aie relief, will therefore be valu
able to many of our lady readers who
are so alarmed when their little ones
are attacked with this distressing com
plaint The remedy is very simple and
can easily be tried : Take a knife or
grater, and shave or grate off in small
particles abont a teaspoonful of alum;
mix it with about twice the quantity of
sugar or honey to make palatable, and
administer as quick as possible. This
it is said, will give instant relief.—Sa
vannah News.
The Confederate Beal. —The seal of
the Confederate .States, it is shown by
Confederate archives, was made by Jos.
S. Wyon, chief engraver of her Majesty’s
seals in London, at a cost of one hun
dred and twenty-two pounds and twelve
shillings, $612.50, and was placed in the
custody of Lieutenant Chapman, with
instructions to take it at any risk safely
to Richmond. He accomplished the
mission, but so near the collapse of the
rebellion that it was only officially used
in one or two instances. Lieutenant
Blaines’ commission, who commanded
the Confederate cruiser Florida, is said
to have borne its imprint, but aside from
this and the distribution of a few im
pressions given to gratify curiosity,there
is no record of its use. llictrotypes
from the original are now being made
by a New York electrotyper for sale, the
proceeds of which are to be applied to
BoDthern charities. The motto was
“Deo Vindce.”
Tlie Paradise or Authors.
According to a late article in Apple
ton's Journal, translated from the Cou
rier do Bas-Rhin, France deserves this
title ; for certainly in no other country
on the Continent, if in the world, is lit
erary labor more remunerative. Theirs,
the ex-President of the Republic, is a
millionaire ; his “History of tlie Consu
late and Empire” alone yielded him an
annual copyright of five thousand dol
lars. Victor Hugo has made and lost
several fortunes, though considered at
present in rather reduced circumstan
ces, still owns, besides much valuable
property in Germany, five or six large
houses in Paris, and is the principal
stockholder in the Rappel, one of the
most lucrative newspaper establishments
in that city. George Baud is perhaps
the richest author in the world. Bhe
has an annual income of $20,000 from
her copyrights and life contracts with
French publishers, besides a splendid
country seat, which could not be bought
for SIOO,OOO. Emile Girardin, the fa
mous edttor, is worth several million
francs, and Edmond About, another edi
tor, recently refused SIOO,OOO for his
journal, Le Boir.
These are only a few illustrations of
how munificently the pen is rewarded
in France. There are scores of others
who have been equally fortunate in all
departments of literature. It seems that
iu France the pen is among the surest of
all weapons to hew out the road not on
ly to fame but wealth. In almost all
other countries it is conspicuously the
reverse. —Macon 2 elegraph.

Grand Railroad Combination.--The
Memphis Appeal of Friday says : It is
rumored that negotiations are pending
between Mahoue, Captain Jacques, of
the .Southern .Security Company, and
General Rosecrans, now iu this city, in
volving the consolidation of the East
Tennessee, Virginia, aiul Memphis and
Chattanooga, and Bristol and Norfolk,
and Memphis and Little ltoek, and Lit
tle Rock and Fort Smith roads—all to
be put under the management of Gen
eral Mahoue and Cabtaiu Jacques, and
to be extended down the Canadian riv
er to Allmqimjue, and constitute the
central route of the Southern Pacific
transcontinental road. We hope the
proposed scheme will be consummated,
and if the purposes defined be achieved,
Memphis becomes a magnificent city.
.Some days sooner or later, whatever
personal jealousies now intervene to pre
vent it, this consolidation will be effec
ted, and the highest aspirations of him
who most seeks the aggrandizement of
Memphis will lie accomplished.
The New German Guns -The Ger
man journals announce that the recent
trials of new guns on iron-plated targets
which took place at Teget, near Berlin,
fully satisfied all expectations. The
shot from the 11-iuch ring cast-steel
gun penetrated an iron plate 12 inches
thick ; that from the 10-inch gun of the
same pattern an iron plate of 11 inches,
and there was force to spare in both
cases. At Krupp’s works, at Essen, tri
als have been made with the newly con
structed 30| sentimetre (12-inch) ring
cast-steel gun, ami the result justifies
the belief that this gun will pierce 14,
and perhaps even 15 inches, of armor.
Thus, the strongest iron-clad now exis
ting, her British Majesty’s ship Devas
tation, which is provided with an armor
of 14 inches, will no longer lie invulner
able if opposed to such guns. It lias
been dccided-to use the 12 and 10-inch
guns for the present only for the defense
of the coasts, Their introduction on
board ship would probably necessitate
considerable alterations in the construc
tion of vessels of war.
Additional Circulation of Greenbacks
fob the South. —Air. John J. Knox,
Comptroller of the Currency, is thus re
ported from Washington: “He believes
that the whole of the circulation author
ized by the act of July 12th, 1870, will
will he issued before the meeting of
Congress, whereupon he will make re
quisition upon the Eastern banks for the
withdrawal of $25,000,000 of their cur
rency, to be distributed in the Western
and Southern States, as provided by
this act. He considers the provision in
the law relative to this withdrawal as
mandatory upon him, and not discre
tionary, and that the requisition upon
tha Eastern banks will place the cur
rency question under law in such condi
tion that Congress will take immediate
action upon the subject, either by re
pealing the sixth section of the act or
by passing a law authorizing the issue
of an additional $25,000,000 for the
iVat and South, as proposed in his last
report, or by both.”

Growth of the Company.
The Alabama Gold Life Insurance Company
was organized October lltli, 18G8, with a Capital
Stock ot $200,000 in Gold.
The Growth of the Company lias been grad
ual and progressive, making its way steadily
against indifference and predjudice, and lowing
the community by its progress and results, to
consider its claims to thuir confidence and sup
port.
Confidence and support have becu so gener
ously given that the Company is now the largest
moneyed corporation in this country, and, it is
believed, iu soundness, second to no Lite lnsu
rauoe Company iu the world.

BROWN EXTRA COTTON GIN!

Price Recucxd to $3.50 per Saw!
The “Brown Extra Cotton Gin” is favorably
known in all parts of the cotton growing country.
Tlie agents of this Gin sold upwards of Srx
Hundred to the planters of the South, during
the past season, it possesses the maximum of
all the desirable qualities, without being compli
cated by any of the so-called improvements,
such as condensers, needle-teeth, card-cylinders,
and extra brushes. It is simple, durable, well
made of good materials, light running, and is
unrivalled in the quantity anrl beauty of the sta
ple produced. Possessing these, and many oth
er advantages, it has been received with greater
favor, even than in former years,when, as now,
it was a general favorite at the South. It is
made with a strong iron frame, combining
strength and durability. For perfect finish,
simplicity, fast and clean ginning, light draft,
and superiority ot lint, it is without a rival.
To suit the preferences of a portion of the
trade, some ot the Gins are made with wooden
frames of white ash, and are very strong and
substantial; otherwise the Gins are the same as
those with iron frames, and are furnished at the
same price. When an order is sent it will be
necessary to name the kind wanted.
