Miscellaneous Items. A gentleman of experience hns discover ed one good thing in sea-vt-jaging. lie sav«: “You can get as tittht as you please every day, and every-body will think you are only sea-sick ” “Don’t trouble yourself to stretch your mouth any wider,” said the dentist to a man who was extending his jaw frightfully, “as I intend to stand outside during the operation.” “Mother, send for the doctor!” “Why, my son?” 4 Case that man in the parlor is going to die—he said he would, if sister Jane would not marry him—and Jane said she wouldn’t. Poirtrsn —Mr. “Cbawls Teawmpson” recently ran his head against a y >un«r ladv during a cotillion. "Aw ! excuse me tieaw,*' said he; “did it hurt, aw?” “No sir,” she replied ; “it’s too soft, thank you.” A chap the other day, asked bis sweet heart if he might b* permitted to encircle her in his arms and give her an ass cti- nate hug “No.” said she, “I can’t allow that, but I’ll split the diff-renee with you—y >u may kiss me.” “A Girl of the period” comments thus upon Mormunism ; “How ahr-urd -four or five wives for one man, when the fact is each woman in these times ought to have four or five husbands It would take about that number to support her decently.”— Index. “Cuffee, what do you t’ink de most use ful ob de planets—de sun or de moon ?” “Well, Sambo, 1 t’ink de moon nrter take de fust rank in dat article.” Why you t’ink Bi, Cuffee?” “Well, I toll you : kuse the moon shine by night, when we want light, an 1 de sun shines by day wheu we don’t?” A kiss par excel!© l ce is the kiss on the lips. Its superiority is easily explained. All other kisses are necessarily cold in com parison, fur they are not mutual. One per son alone as an actor is concerned in a mutual one. You kiss and instantaneously are ki->ed. Ileuce we find lip kissing the most favored. Ch icago Lawyers. —The Chicago Journal, says: “There is not a law office nor a law library left in Chicago, except the few small duplicate libraries at the residences of the leading lawyers. There is not a paper showing that there is suit pending in any ot the six court of rcord in Cook c unty, irir. eluding the federal court. There is not an indictment in existence in the cuuntv against any one, not a judgment, not a peti tion in bankruptcy in the federal courts. Even the duplicate flips that the lawyers keep in their 1 ffiees of important cases are all gone. A few may have escaped by be ing taken luthe houses for Sunday or night work. We may add that there «re in Chicago about five hundred lawyers.” The English Language. Mr. James Brooks writes from abroad : “The English language, I see—and the more I see the better I see it —is becoming the Universal language iff the educated world. Twenty or twenty-five years ago, or less, only French would carry you through the world ; but now it is impossible to go anywhere from the pyramids of Egypt to the mountains of Ja pan, that English will pretty well carry you along. Chinese house-servants, more or l°ss sppnk English—“pigeon English as it is ealled—but, nevertheless, comprehensible English ; and go where you will, in what ever society, English seems now to be the tongue.” A Chicago Jehemiade —Mr. W. D. B inker has brought trom Chicago to New York a curious memorial of the great fire. Among the ruins of the Western News Company's establishment, where an im mense stock of periodicals and books was reduced to ashes, there was found a single leaf of a quarto Bible, charred around the edges. It contained the first chapter of the L iiftontationß of Jeremiah, which opens with the following words: “llow doth the city sit solitary that was full of people: llow is she become as a widow ! she that was great among the nations and princes among the provinces, how is she become tributary! She weeperh sore in the night, and iter tears are on her cheeks; among all hpr lovers she hath none to comfort her.” And that was the only fragment of litera ture saved from U e News Company’s great depot.— New York Tribune. A Great Invention.— There is a genius in Titusville, who has invented anew and effective kind of fly-paper, with m dasses, glue and nitn-glycenne. A fly, for in stance, is attracted by the molasses. lie alights, gets the glue upon his legs and flies away. Presently the glue fe'ds uncomfort able, and he rubs bis legs together ; this ac tion expn des the nitro- glyceiine, and the fly, ’Oh! where is he?” The people in Titusville who use this arrangement say that they can sit in their rooms und hear the crack ol explosions every minute or two. Trie sound is as loud as that made by a tor pedo ; and in the grocery s'orea the ear is deafened, while the air is continually cloud *-d with the flying arms, legs and heads of bursted flies. They have many very curi ous things in Titusville,-<ome whole-souled, energetic liars oinung them. Sporting Times. The Mightt Fallen —The Mississippi has aim >st dried up. The maje-rie river whose magnificent volume two thousand miles from its outlet has been the theme of the tourist’s admiration ; so broad and deep th it it seemed some grand entry of the st a on which the navies of the world might ride ; has shrunk to a mere ridiculous creek and its thiu and attenuated current craw s lazily, as it were ashamed of its shrunk shanks among low, and bare submariue r dges and beaches of gand that have never seen the sun before, so far as human knowledge goes, separated the waters from and y land.

State Items. MAOON. The State Democratic Executive Commit tee assembled in this city yesterday, and had full and free cons<>lutmn. The follow ing resolutions were adopted : Resolved, That the fruits of the victory achieved at the December election c.tnnot be secured without thorough organization. We reiterate the opinion previously ex pressed by this committee that men of character and ability should be nominated for office, and it should be regarded as a patriotic duty to suport and elect them, though individual preferences have to be abandoned. Resolved That the people of Georgia and this Committee have an abiding confideuco that the Democratic Legislature, soon to assemble, will be guided by “Wisdom, Jus tice and Moderation that its action will he d»«creet, it** enactments just, nod its ad ministration honest and economical. Resolved , That this committee believe the reports of the existence of Ku. Klux or oth er secret political organization in this State, which have induced Congress to take action on that subject, are wholly unfounded. That there have been acts of lawlessness ai.d violence cannot be denied, but they have not been instigated by eny partisan motive or feeling The ill advised use of the pardoning power, hy which notorious criminals have been relieved from the pun ishment due to their crimes, has in some instances, excited persons to acts of vio lence which would not have otherwise oc curred, and which we unhesitatingly con demn and disapprove.— Telegraph and Mes* seuger. He Refuses. —A proclamation from Gov ernor Bullock was published in these col umns a few days ago in which our fellow townsman Judge Clifford Anderson, was announced as one of the attorneys for the State in the Bruusw ick and Albany railroad case The announcement was made with out consulting Judge Anderson, and he has declined to net for the State in the matter. — Ibid.

Sensiiii.e Words Ab ut Advertising.— The fullowing is from tho Journal of Com merce, New York : “People who sit nervously in counting houses, or behind their goods, waiting for customers to take them by storm, and making no effort to let the world know the bargains they have to offer, will find the season very unpropitious. Many of those who have spent large sums in hiring drum mers and paying for other well-known appliances to trade, have effected large sales | but swallowed up too large a share of the receipts in such enormous attendant ex penses. The best remuneratiou has been found by those who have returned to more legitimate, an old-fashioned method of pushing their business. We say it. not simply because we are interested in this line of expenditure, but ns our best advice to all who wish to be enterpri.-elng and se cure a large custom, there is nothing so affective to this end as judicious advertising. A little advertising may be like a gentle touch of the whip to poor Dubbins’ horse, ‘a mercy thrown awaybut a liberal out lay is almost certain to bring it in a largo return, and this will last even beyond tho current season. We do riot believe that any who has valuable service or desirable property to offer can fail of reaping a rich harvpKt by continuous advertising on a large scale.” Queen Victoria.—Some very singular stories are told about Queen Victoria, and it is hardly supprising that the sober and rather stupid English people should regard her as insane. She has, it appears, a firm conviction that Prince Albert is never away from her, aDd that she can hold com munion with him. A chair is placed for him opposite hers in the library • his favor* i e books are on the table, and it is an ordinary practice with her to address him aloud as it he were reslly present. At din ner a knifd and fork are laid for him, and the servants are directed to even go through tbe formity of helping him. Every morn ing a pair of boots are cleaned and set down before the door of the chamber he oc*» cupied, and at breakfast she not unfre quently waits a considerable time for his imaginary coming. It is said that she de rives a great deal of ». on fort ami consola tion from this belief. Entcrtaiuing, as she does, these sentiments, it is no wonder that Buckingham Palace is closed, and that royal fetes are only a memory and tradition in England ln lex An old bachelor editor thus, in his spite, comments on a recent moonlight night: ‘We left our sanctum at midnight, last night, and on our way home we saw a young lady and gentleman holding a gate on its hinges. They were evidently indignant at being kept out so late, as we saw them bite each other Btveal time-.” Torek thousand persons lost their lives by recent storms and floods in China. NO. -18.
