Superior Court. —The May Term of Burke Superior Court convened on Monday last, Judge Wm. Gibson pre siding.

Hitherto she lias boon culled upon to suffer Iho ills of mankind an 1 her own besides. 'iho frequent and distress ing irregularities peculiar to her sex have long been to nor tho “direful spring of woes unnum bered.” Ln tho mansion of tho rich and in the hovel of poverty nlilco woman has been the con stant yet patient victim of a thousand ills un known to tunn —and these without a remedy. “Oh, Loud, how long!” in the agony of her soul hath she cried But now tho hour of her re demption is come. eihe will suffer no more, for Dr. J.Bhadfiilii’s Female Regulator—Woman's Best Friend—is for sale by all respectable drug fist-s throughout tho land at 51.50 per bottle.— 'or sale in Waynesboro’ by Wilkins <fe Cos. From all accounts anew Father Mathew has appeured in Liverpool iu the person of Father Nugent. It is very strange to note occasionally what subtle power the earnest sympathizing, electrical eloquenco of some men has over their fellow-ui'T). Here iu this country there arc temperance lecturers by the score, from the mimetic Gough down to the others who are not iu the slightest degree imitative uor original. No ono of them has so risen above his fellows by more human magnetic elo quence as to effect a reform that is in any measure marked. Here, <su the other band, is Father Nugent, in Liverpool, doing a *vork that is almost incredible —would not, probably,. be believed, if wo had not the record of Father Math ew by which to judge. Within the past fourteen months lie has induced nil.teen thousand drinking persons to sign the pledge, and seventy-five per cent, of tho number have kept it, though they belonged to the lowest class of the community, and the lowest class in Liverpool is very low indeed, The Cotton Tax Declared Unconsti tutional. Wo aro iu recoipt of in formation,says tho Atauta Herald, that the United States Court of Claims has decided that vbe cotton tax law, under which some eighty-eight millions of dollars were collected, was unconstitutional. It ap pears that a Mr. Berg, instead of peti tioning Congress to refund the tax paid by him, brought suit in the Court of Claims for its recovery, employing cm* ineut counsel, nmo g whom was the present able Ordinary of Chatham county. This gentleman a few days ago r.ceivcd a private letter which announced that the Court was against the constitutionality of the law, but its decision has not yet, we believe, been .officialy promulgated. To a rerv largo number of our readers this intelligence will be most gratifying, as it will en able them to recover the money illegal ly wrung from them at a time when they were most in need of freedom from taxation.— Savannah paper. No Time to Waste in Making Money. There is* legend well known to most of us and which has an advantage over most legends in that it is substan tially true —that a very distinguished man of science iu this country was onec approached by an eminent practical man, and urged to turn his great pow ers in scientific investigations and ex position to effect, in making a fortuuc. And, to the great surprise of that man of business, the nnu ofscicuce res ponded, ‘-But, my dear sir, I have no time to waste in making money.” Of all the recent results of science I think, sir, that those words have struck deepest and spread farthest in the average carnal mind on our side of the Atlantic. No time to waste in making money !” I have stood, sir, in the preseuce of a very eminent man of affairs—one whose word is a power in the great marts of the world, and wa'ehcd him as he heard for the first time his astonishing dictum. He stood silent—apparently in awe. The words seemed to rever berate among the convolutions of his brain, and to be rechoed far away, back, from depth to depth, among the deepest recesses of his consciousness—‘‘No time to waste iu making money !” Information for Parties Propos ing to Become Bankrupts. —We find tlie following in the Atlanta Constitu tion : Atlanta. Ga., May 1, 1873. Editors Constitution : A man who is unable to pay his debts and owes more than §3OO, can file h’s petition in the Uni and States District Court in Bank ruptcy. The party filing petition has to pay all costs, which varies according to case and number of creditors. If there arc sufficient assets, he gets back all cash except S3O and couusel fees. And all of his property is con verted into money by his assignee in bankruptcy, except $2,000 worth of real estate at gold value, and SI,OOO worth of personal property at same value aud ss,*o worth of household and kitchen furniture, and other neces sary articles, all of whicii must be set apart by the assignee as property of the debtor in fee simple. The debtor a discharge from all debts contracted before the first day of January, 1869. And if his assets in the hands of the assignee are equal to fifty cents on the dollar of his debts contracted since said date which are proven in court he will be discharged from all his debts. Aud if all or a large portion of the assets are taken by older liens or debts it will make no differeuc. 1 , and lie will be dic charged from his debts. And he is en titled to the exemption before mentioned against liens, judgments, mortgages and debts, whether contracted before or since January 1, 1860. . Lawson Black, Register. A wealthy lady of fifth avenue, New York, possessed of every luxury that j an elegant residence and a large estate could afford, became the victim of a strange delusion. She was impressed with the belief that she had extraordi nary talents for the stage, and deter mined to become an actress. She did so, and after spending about SIOO,OOO in elegant wardrobes, newspaper puffs and other costly incidentals, was finally hooted off the stage, the managers re fusing to let her appear in their thea tres on any terms. The discomfited actress believes to this day that she was the victim of euvy and spite, A Pair of Royal Barbarians. A shocking story comes from Africa. A treaty having recently boon conclu ded between the King of Bonny and the KingofOpobo it was,in accordance with the ancient custom, ratified by sacrificing a slavo in a very peculiar manner. From tho crown of the head down over the trunk an . incision, as if for halving, was made; then several stout men seized hold of the victim, while some flthers hacked tho body iuto two parts along the line indicated through tho incision. One half of the body the rcpicscntative of King Bon ny, and the other half an ambassador of Opobe, Hung into the sea, by which tho contract was considered irrevocably ■sealed. King Bonny tried very earn estly to avoid this useless and cruel part of the ceremony, but the Africans were not to be dissuaded from abandon ing a time honored usage. The victim himself did not appear much disturbed by the fate in store for him. His con solation was tha‘ his butchers would bo repaid with the same coin in the next world. A Touching Incident. — Ashort time since, in this city, a brilliant and much admired lady, who had been suffering for some time with a trouble of the eyes, was led to fear speedy change for the worse, and immediately consulted her physician. An examination discovered a sudden and fatal failing in the optic nerve, aud the information was impart ed as gently as possible, that (he patient could not retaiu her sight more than a few days at most, and was liable to be totally deprived of it at any moment. The afflicted mother returned to her home, quietly made such arrangements as would occur to one about to com mence so dark a journey of life, and then had her two little children, attired iu their brightest and sweetest costumes, brought before her : and so, with their little faces lifted to hors, and tears ga thering for some great misfortune that they hardly realized, the light faded out of the mother’s eyes, leaving au ineffaceable picture of those dearest to her on earth—a mcmery of bright faces that will console her in many a dark hour. —Covington {Kg.) Journal. It will be curious to examine the different exemptions of the several States. If we add the five hundred dollar exemption allowed by the general bankrupt law to the value of the home stead exemptions, real and personal, in each State, we find the total exemp tions as follows: Maine, $2,000; New Hampshire, $1,000: Vermont, $1,500; Massachusetts, $2,060 ; Rhode Island, Connecticut, $1,400; New Vork, $2,- 500; New Jersey, $1,900; Pennsyl vania, $800; Delaware, $G00; Virigina, $3,500; Maryland, $000;.Nor th Car olina, $2,000; South Carolina. $2,000; Florida, $7,500; Georgia, .$3,5 00; Alabama, $3,500; Mississippi, $5,500; Arkansas, $7,500; Texas, $4,000; Tennessee, $2,500; Kentucky, $2,100; Missouri, $3,800 ; Indiana, SBOO ; Illi nois, $2,000; Michigan, $2,600 ; Cal ifornia, $7,500; Colorado, $4,500. A bankrupt’s discharge in tho ab sence of fraud, is good against all debts contracted before the first day pi Jan uary 1869. The discharge is also good against debts contracted since January 1, 1869, by the bankrupt as principal, provided bis estate pays fitty per ceut. on the claims proved against him. At the last term of Wilkes Superior Court, a case was tried which involved some points of general interest. It was Arnold & Dubose vs. the Georgia Rail road Company, the plantiffs claiming, as stated by the Chronich jj* Sentinel, that the road bad “overcharged them on cotton shipped to Augusta (a dis tancq of about seventy-five miles) to the amount of three or four thousand dollars, by not observing pro rata rates, as limited by the charter. Judge Reese, for the defense, maintained,with masterly ability, that there was no such rates in the charter; that the road was limited to one hundred miles, aud no less; and further, that the Wilkes County tyurt had no jurisdic tion in the case—both of which points were endorsed in his Honor’s charge to the jury, and a verdict rendered for the defendant generally. Gen. Toombs represented the plaintiffs.” A writer asks, in an agricultural pa per, if any one can inform a poor man | the best way to start a nursery, j Certainly; get married, The Sun estimates that two thousand young men aro thrown out of employ meut by the sudden spasm ot virtue in New York, which closes the gambling dens.* School-mistress (to a dull liftle boy) '‘Johnny,l’m ashamed of you. When I was your age, l could read twice ns well as you can.” Johnny—‘‘Ycs’tn, hut yon had a dif ferent teacher from what I’ve got.” The New Orleans Picayune says that Governor Kellogg’s threat to arrest Governor McKnery for treason “appears at last to have exhausted the patience of the people. All over the State tho spirit of resistance seems to have arisen. Force will met fooce,and for every drop of blood shed there is one man who cannot be exempt from tho responsibil ity. That man is Wm.

The society for the conversion of tho Jews, in Philadelphia, employed a mis sionary for the work, who preached seventy-six sermons aud di tributed twenty-two thousand tracts during the past year and did not bring down a Single Jew. The mere name of such a society would jgreveut it from ever ef fecting its object if nothing else did.— Courier-Jour ml. The New York Sun says it feels au thorized to announce that “bottled up” Ben. Butler is not ouly a candidate for Governor of Massachusetts in 1872, but for President of the United States in 1876. lie has been tryiug very hard to make fair weather with Grant’s friends, The increase of Grant’s .'ala ry was one of the dodges to which he resorted. A lady who was urging some friends to stay to dinner, felt disgusted when her eight year old boy came in and' said : “Mrs. Jones says she can’t spare no bread, and Mrs. Brown ain't to home, so I did not get any butter.. ”'J oc friends thought they had better dine elsewhere, and the lady thought so,too ; but she taught that boy that the way of the transgressors was hard, before evening. That is a singular view which is ta ken by a Baltimore lawyer of a mania for poisoning. He thinks that when a man or woman poisous a human being without detection, in ninety-nine cases out of a bu .dred the poisoner becomes insane. His reasoning is that one successful crime of this sort begets such a sense of power and of ability to remove at will every human obstacle,so blunting, at the samo time, the sympa thies, “that in nearly every case tho mind becomes warped, and the pois oner is ready with the deadly draught to avenge the most trifling disrespect or wrong.” Lot those who think of poisoning anybody take warning.

A Representative and Champion of Ameiican Taste. Not for Sale in Hook or News Stores. THE ALDINE, while issued with all the regularity, has none of tho temporary or timely interest characteristic of ordinary periodicals It id an elegant miscellany of pure, light, and graceful literature ; and a collection of pictures, tho rarest specimens of artistic skill, in black and white. Although each succeeding number affords a fresh pleasure to its friends, the real valuo and beauty of The Aldinjs will be most ap preciated after it has been bound up at the close of the year. While other publications may claim superior cheapness, a < rod with rivals of a similar class, The Alaine is a unique and original conception—alone and unapproached—absolutely without competition in price or character. The possessor of a complete volume cannot duplicate tile quantity of fine paper and engravings in any other shape, or number of volumes /or Ipn times* its cost; and then, there are the chromos, besides! < ART 3D E PARTMENT. Notwithstanding the increase in the price of subscription last Fall, w hen TheAldine assumes its present noble proportions and representative character, the edition uas more than doubled during tho past year; proving that the Ameri can public appreciate, and will support a sin cere effort in the cause of Art. The publishers, anxious to justify the ready confidence thus demonstrated, have exerted themselves to the utmost to develop and improve the work ; and ’ ■ Titans for the coining year, as unfolded by the ’v i-sues, will astonish and delight eveu Uic most sanguine friends of The Aldine. The publishers are authorised to announce de signs from many of tho most eminent artists in America. In addition, The Aldine will reproduce ex amples of the best foreign masters, selected with a view to the highest artistic success, and great est general interest j avoiding such as have be come familiar, through photographs, or copios of any kind. . The quarterly tinted plates, for 1873 will re produce four of John S. Davis’ inimitable ckfld skote.hcs, appropriate to the four seasons. These plates, appearing in the issnes fo. January, April, July, and October, would be alone worth the price of a year’s subscription. The popular feature of a copiously illustrated “Christmas” number will be contiifued. To posse.'Tsuch a valuable epitome of the art world at a cost so trifling, will command the subscriptions of thousands in every section of the oountry; but, as the usefulness and attrac tions of The Aldine can be enhanced, in propor tion to the numerical increase of its supporters, tho publishers propose to make “assurance doubly sure,” by the following unparalleled offer of Premium Chromos for 18T3. Every subscriber to The Aiding, who pays in ad vance for tho your 1573, will receive, without addi tional charge, a pair of beautiful oil chromos, after J. .T. Hill, the eminent English painter. The pie tures, entitled'“The Village Belle,” and “Crossing the Moor,” are 14x20 inches—are printed from 25 different plates, requiring 25 impressions and tint* to perfect each picture. The same chromos are sold for per pair in the art stores. As it is the determination of its conductors to keep The Atdine out of the reach of competition lu ovory depart ment, the chromos will be found correspondingly ahead of any that can be offered by other period), cals. Every subscriber will receive certificate, O'er tho signature of tbe publisher uaranteeing that tho chromos delivered shall oual tethe samples furnished the agent, orta w ill be refunded. The distribution of picture rgrade, free to tho subscribers to a five dobs. periodical, will mark an epoch in the history of Art- and, con sidering the unprecedented cheapness of the price for 77.'* Aldine itself, tbe marvel fails little short of a mtnmlo, even to those best acquainted with the achievements of Inventive genius and improved mechanical appliances.
