Hon. A.M, Keii-ev, tho new min ister to Italy was given a banquet in Richmond, Va., Wednesday night, tho 22d. In a biilliant speech, lie paid the following beautiful and well deserved tribute to young King Hum bert or Italy: “A sovereign, whose wisdotq and -kill are rapidly urging hts voting kingdom to tho foremost place in tiie council chamber of na tions. and who, as we have been re minded 10-night, earned the homage of all men who honor true kingli ness bv facing in the interest of the humblest of id* subjects, the dreadful pestilence wills calm fortitude and a contagious courage mote chivalrous than that which illumines a battle and makes up the splondors of his tory,” . „ _ Tun latest nows from Europe is that England und Russia are gather ing their foroea as rapidly a possible. It now seems that war between these two great power* is inevitable. Sir Peter Lunasden, agent of the English government in Afghanistan, and Gen. Komarofl', tho Russian gcuoral who lately fought the Afghans, have each reported the buttle to their respective governments, and tbo statements are hi Hindi great variance that it Ib im possible to reconcile them. This has greatly iocteased the oorntilicallons that already existed between those two government's. Mr. Gladstone has asked parliament for a war ap propriation of $55,000,000. The mat ter is to bo debated in tho House of Commons next Monday, and it is the general belief in England that tho House will pass the credit. Even the political opponents of Mr, Glad stone favor the measure in behalf of the honor of England. Te tho sur priso of all Kuropo Russian securities Have a tendency upward. There Is a lively demand for tho munitions of war, aud as soon as all hope of] even li gone, provisions will llksly ap preciate very rapidly. No man in this country or Europe can give an idea of what will be the outcome of this matter. SEW TUOnIU-W FOR ENGLAND. In tho House of Commons Lord Randolph Qhurcbii) (Conservative) asked Premier Gladstone how far England was complicated and how far responsible in the suppression of the Frenolt newspapers iiosphorc Hgvplion at Cairo. Premier Glad stone replied that Egypt had not acted alone in the matter of seizing and suppressing the paper, and admitted that England was not in a position to disclaim all respond oillty for the act. The Premier's replies concerning theßosphore Egypt lon incidents wero very guarded, and -fenrs are enter tained that the allair is likely to lead to dililculty between Franco and England. isolanr's choice. s The Standard, In an editorial says it hopes that F.ngland will support the Khedive in his controversy with Franco concerning the suppression of the Hosphoro Kgyptien. If England Allows accession to Franco’s demand for tho withdrawal of the docrec of suppression and punishment of the officials who executed tho decree, the Standard thinks it will make a se rious mistake. The Bosphore Egyp tian was justly suppressed, says, the Standard, and if it he allowed to re sume its audicious career, Eugland will confess more flagrantly than ever that in Egypt she has undertak en a task which she has not the ahil'ty to execute nor the courage to relin quish.

DEFAMING EX-GOVERNOR JEN KINS. An Unfounded Bill Slsmlased by Judffe Speer. ■’) An interesting argument wa* had in tlio United States circuit court in Savannah, last monday morning, be fore Hon. Emory Speer judge. It was one brought by Mr*. Elizabeth T. Belt, formerly of Bullock county, now of New York, against Colonel C. C. Jones and Major J. B. Cum mitig of Augusta, executors of the estate of cx-Governor Chas. J. Jenk ins. Tho bill is brought by the plaintiff who alleged among other tilings that cx-Governor Jenkins in 1862 canto into possession ot SIOO,OOO confederate money worth 'it that limesso,ooo and that with exception 0f520,000, which were paid on a mortgage for her husband's estate she had not received o.te cent. Site therefore brought suit agaiut the ex ecutors of the estate of the deceased governor for the recovery of $77,0000r what it wa* In 1862. The pleading.oc cupied all the morning and at 2 o’clock In the afternoon the court dismissed the bill on the ground that the stat ute of limitations barred it. In giving his declaim. Judge Speer said that the defamatory charges aud lan guage in the bill were not sustained and that the reputation of ox-Govorn or Jenkins was as fully aud as com pletely exonerated as it was possible for It tobc. He then dismissed the bill. Major Cummings asked the court to give his decree In writing so that the matter might appear of record as the words of judgement fell from his lips. The suit was brought by Mr. Fox of New York, who was assisted by Messrs. Gartrcll and LaUsett of At lanta. APPLYING THE LAW. Bvsn-honded Just ton to Hlyfa and Low. A recent telegram from Wheeling, West Virginia, says: This lias beenjg. day of great exoflfSient in all circles, the cause being tho calling of tho docket In the Circuit Court this morn ing, embracing the return of the grand Jury, which has been sitting here for the past four days. Among the lifeindlctmcnts*a:e 60 for gambling. Matty or the persons proceeded against stand very high in society and official circles—one being ait ex-Governor of the State and another the head of a department in tho present Stato government. Others rre connected with the city government—one a member of tho Council, having five indictments against him—and other still prominent merchants and manufacturers. The remainder arc abotncqually divided between young society men and professional gam blers. Another startling fealttro of tho jury’s work is the indictment of well known real estate owners for leasing properly to gamblers and other law breakers. It is conceded to-night that there will be no publication of the names of those indicted in the morn ing papers, Hie pressure brought to bear ou tine publishers to effect this, being too great to bo resisted. A thorough ventilation of tho roalter would create a great sensation. LOOOKOUT FOR STORKS. The Now Yorkilerald is no alarmist but it’calls attention to the fact that the tornado breeding elements are com ing to the front. The indications fa vor weather disturbances iu the re gions generally visited by them. Various theories of the birth of the tornado have been advanced. Mr. Si las Bent, of St. Louis, holds that when the c.olrt, heavy northerly wind of tlie Mississippi Valley encounters the warm, southerly current, the for mer, owing to its great specific gravi ty wedges under or underruns the light south wind and thus places be tween tho warm earth below and the still warmer south wind above, and, feeling the impulse of its increasing (emperture. begins to expond, but being pressed onward kv its own vol ume in tho rear, at last finds a weak spotlit the stratum above, when the fatal whirl originates in the breach thus made. This theory is undoubt tedly in accordance with the physical laws and observation. The "death dealing storm of the central valleys is forntnd only when great thermal contrast exists within limited areas. Several thousand Boston families wero provided with free soup daily during tho past win'er. THEY EARN THEIR WAGES NOW. (From * Washington Special) The latest reformer come to light is a clerk in the Auditor’s office, named Whallon. Mr. Whailon is another patriot who is determined to make himself solid with the Administration and retain hits place. He will proba bly succeed after the manner of O. P. G. Clark's success. Whallon has tak en entire charge of the office, reliev ing Mr. Ferris, the Second Auditor, from duty and responsibility. He sits with his watch in hand ai:d marks ofT the employers as they come in. If a man is two minutes late, down goca a small mark again* Mm. If any person arishes to leave hts office he makes application to Whal lon, who will inquire into the necess ity of the case and if he finds it advis able he will grant a leave of five min utes, and so enter on his book. If the person on leave runs over the five minute* he or she is so marked. Whispering is strictly forbidden. No person can leave itis scat without permission. No gum-chewing is allowed. Whallon strikes with a hammer as a signal for work to begin and any caught idle for an instant until the day* work is over is “marked.” Whallon bangs his ham mer for the clerks to begin eating luncheon, and when time is tip bangs again for work, and every jaw must cease at the bang and every pen be picked up again. A piece of pie bit ten off just before the bang is allowed to be swallowed, if done hastily, but a heavy penalty is attached to taking another bile. Tiieise Is one law suit In America al most as old as the English possession of t lie country, and it concerns no less valuable property than a good slice of the city of New York itself. This is the claim concerning the farm of Anueke Jans, the widow of one of tho earliest Dutch settlers, who departed the city of New Amsterdam, and this life in 1687 or 1638,and whose spouse afterwards married Domine Bogsrdua. The farms were after wards merged into the King’s farm, owned by Trinity church,and the first dispute between the corporation and the heirs of Anneke Jan* took place long before the itevoluilon.—From Harper's for May. Tk* Mmm And The Real. Every good thing has its boat* of imitators; every genuine articlf its counterfeits. Bad manned" and wicked habits have theirs also; but be who shams the bad nevbr boasts of it, while they who ape tho virtues ot the good or emolato the genuine never hesitute to place the counterfeit be fore the public in their most alluring tones. When these people imitate they always choose a pronounced type or popular subject to copy from : and when thoy claim to be as good as“So and So’” or to soil nn article equal to “So-tud So,” Hie public may depend upon it that Mr. “So-and So,” and his article are always tho best ot the kind. Thue the sham is always proving the genuine merit ot the thing it copies. A firm of enterprising gentlemen produce and popularize an article of household use, such as the Royal Bak ing Powder, whose eonvenleuce, use fulness, nnd real merit make for It self an Immense and universal sale. A hundred imitators arise on every hand, as they hold out their sham ar ticles to the public, yelp in chorus, ,‘Buy this, it’s just as good as Itoyal, and much cheaper!’' The Royal Bak ing powder, is tho standard the world over, and its imitstors in their cry that (heir’s is “as good as Royal!” are all tho time emphasizing this fact. In their laborious attempts to show by aualrsis and otherwise that the “Snow-bail,” brand has as much raising power “as the lioval,” or that tho “Resurrection” powder is as wholesome “as Royal”; or that tho “Earthquake” brand is “as pure as the Royal,” as well as their contort!** twisting of chcmieal certificates and tailored efforts to obtain recognition from the Government chom’.st and prominent scientists who have certi fied the superiority of Royal over all others, they admit the “Royal” to be the acme of perfection, which is their highest ambition to imitate. But tho difference between the real and these imitations, which copy only its geuerai appearance, ia as as that between the paste and the true diamond. The shams all pay homage to the “Royal!” Blount's White Prolific Corn. I liuve a few bushels of selected seed of the above corn at $2.00 per bushel.

Warren Leland, whom ererybody knows SB tho successful mac age r of tbs ✓ Largest Hotel Enterprises of Amsrica, uyi that white a paase&ger from •> New York on board a ship going around Capa Horn, in the early day* of emigration to Cal ifornia, he learned that one of the officer* of the vessel had eared himself, daring the voy age, of an obstinate disease by the ase of Ayers Sarsaparilla. Since then Mr. Lblasd has recommended Aran's Sarsaparilla in many similar cases, and he has never yet heard of its fail ore to effect a radical care. Some years ago one of Mr. Lblavd’s farm laborers bruised hie leg. Owing to the bad state of liis blood, an ogly scrofulous swelling or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor rible itching of the skin, with burning and darting paint through the lamp, made life almost intolerable. The leg became enor mously enlarged, and running ulcers forme*!, discharging great quantities of extremely offensive matter. No treatment was of sny avail until tho man, by Mr. Lblaxd's direc tion, was supplied with Aria's Sarsapa rilla, which allayed the pain and Irritation, healed the scree, removed the swelling, and completely restored the limb to use. Mr. Lrlajtd has personally used Ayers Sarsaparilla for Rheumatism, with satire success after careful observation, declares that. In his belief, there te no medicine in the world equal to It for the cure of Liver Disorders, Clout, the effects of high firing. Salt Rheum, Sores, Eruptions, and all the various forme of blood diseases. We have Mr. Lklard's permission to Invite alt who may desire further evidence in regard to the extraordinary curative powers of Ayku's Sarsaparilla to see him person ally either at bis mammoth Ocean Hotel, Lor.g Branch,or at the popular Leland Hotel, Broadway, 27th and 28th Btreets, Now York. Mr, Lklakd’s extensive knowledge ot the good done by this nnequalled eradicator of blood poisons enables him to give inquirers much valuable information. PRRPARKO BT Dr. J.C.
