A Charivari.—The Savannah News, of Monday, contains the Allowing: Yesterday afternoon and last evening the neighborhood of East Broad, Bronghton and Reynolds street was the scene of great excitement, and the streets were filled with a crowd of some three or fonr hundred people, men, women and children, many of whom were provided with tin pans, cow bells, horns, trum pets and whiBtles, from which were evolved the most horrible and discor dant noiseB, that could be beard several blocks away. Inquiry into the cans 3 of this novel and nnBeemly demonstration on Sunday developed the information that Mr. John Foley, and old and well known reident, formerly a Sergeant on the police force, and a Miss Garraty, had been marred at the Cithedtal in the af ternoon, and the neigobora bad adopted this peouliar mods of commemorating tbe event. The disturbance became so great and so annoying that Mr. Foley proceed to the barracks for tbe purpose of obtaining re lief. He was followed to tbe corner of South Broad and Habersham streets by lirge crowd, which prudently remained on ths sidewalk opposite the barracks, and, aeoertaining what was the object of the visit, hastily retired as fonr policemen made their appearance, escort ing Mr. Foley. ThiB orowd was composed ia the maiu of juveniles, who being fleet of foot, managed to escape the police. On reaching Mr. Foley’s residence, the sidewalks were found blocked with men and women, who seemed in perfect good humor, and yet apparently were deter, mined on having the tin pan serenade continued. The latter especially, it is stated, encouraged the juveniles, and many were active partic ipants. After dark the dis turbance increased, and the crowd swell ing in number?, reinforcements were sent for, and Lieutenant Howard and Sergeant Lingg, with fonr more men, started to the rescue. The sidewalks were cleared, and several boys with old tin pans and cow bells in their possession were arrested and taken to the bamoks. The greatest exoitemeut prevailed, and the polios labored under great difficulty in suppressing the disturbance. Every now and then from some quarter would come the sound of a lively bell, the toot of a born, or the clang of a tin pan, and when th9 polioemen reaobed the spot the "musician” would be non esl inventus and the same melody would be heard in an other direoiion. This demonstration on Sunday evening was no credit to the partioipants, who, it seems, had felt oalled upon to express their disapprobation of a matter which in no manner concerned them.

THE INVESTIGATORS have made considerable progress ia their labors, and though it is impossible to get anything out of them, yet there are many rumors afloat to the effect that another State offioer will bo called on to explain, to wit, Capt. Nelms, principal keeper of the penitentiary. The oommittee, rumor says, have dis covered various irregularities in the con duct of the office, but as yet nothing can be defiaitely learned. Casoltnn.

Editorial Correspondence ot Atlanta Dispatch. While I was prancing over Main street, in Gainesville, a man came npand said in a kindly voice, "You’re a stranger, but yon drink.” He was a newspaper man. First time I ever laid eyes or him, ’pon my word, but there was something about him that told me he was a quill- driver. Hensequently I followed him as he floated in the mud, atd made a lard ing at a saloon. “What will you testify?” asked ayourg man behind the bar. “A little sugar,” said I, as the man laid a canvassed ham on the counter; "There’s only one man in this town who takes sugar in his’n,” the young man said, as he poised the bam on his forefinger and gave it a twirl. "You seem to think a great deal of that meat,” I observed. "Yer bet yer sweet life I do. All the gold, Smith, in tbe State couldn’c buy this ham.” We compromised on Lemonade. A MOUNTAIN OF MYSTERY. One Explanation of the Cause of that Georgia Mountain Mink- fog. Special io the Courier. Jonmal.l Gainesville, Ga., August 23.—The myBtery over the sinking menntain is still unsolved; unless the explanation given by Mr. Stephenson, an old and ac complished scientist, is the true one. He has lived in the gold-bearing section ever since tbe first white men oame here. He says that he distinctly remembers that abont forty years ago a shaft of a mine was ran nnder the edge of the mountain and afterward abandoned. Later the wa ter of the river, whioh ran near by, filtered through into this shaft, aud washed away all traee of it.

Prayer by ths Chaplain, Rev. J. Jones, D. D. The roll was called. The Journal read and approved. The-entire ees lion last afternoon was consumed in a formal reading of bills the second time. Mr. Hulsey, af Falton, after proper notice, moved to reooneider the notion of the House on a biU to reduce certain lar cenies after trust to misdemeanors from felonies. The motion prevailed.

A Disappointed Husband. How many young husbands have been wakened from their dreams of domestic hap piness end prosperity by tbe anxious care of a sickly wife! Tbe home ia not tbe elysium the lover bad so fondly pictured. Its atmos phere ia gloomy with invalid complaints. 8weet-winged hope that at first brooded on its hearth none, soon tied, ’and an ominous bird is there instead, croaking of disappoint ment. Ths many little honseho'd offioes that should ba the delight of the wife to per form are confided to strangers. Ihe homo soon becomes one only in name, and tbe disappointed husband seeks pleasure and so ciety elsewhere, and goes downward step by step, from vice to vioa, nntil tbe rain is com plete ; end all beoante a wife has loet her health, and with it her temper and all thoee sweet womanly gTaoes that oan alone retain the lore the maiden bad won. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is an effioacious reme dy for tbe painful diseases and weakness in cident to the female organUm.

He thinks this washing continued until the rapport of about one-third of the moan- tain was eaten away, and it then tomb- led into the chasm. It seems almost in credible that this oonld be true, and yet it is the only explanation offered. This, Mr. Stephenson holds, wonld aocount for the continued sinking of the broken mass, as he holds that the liver is still eating it away. Thousands of persons have visited the scene, and many super- stitioas fears have been raised on acoonnt of the fall of the mountain. The whole gold-bearing section ia foil of violent streams, falls and casoades, and there Is soma few subterranean streams ot con siderable size. Nsw York is at last waking np to the danger of losing its splendid harbor through the dumping of the oity garb age into important ship and steamboat channels, one of whioh has been reduced in depth within three years from fifty- fonr feet to twenty-six. All the channels leading ont of the harbor bave in that time become narrower and shallower, and the harbor is apparently on a rapid road to rain. Mach of the garbage damped by the scows is driven back to the shores, polluting them and becoming a stench in the nostrils of large neigh borhoods. The laws provide that offal and garbage shall be damped beyond certain specified points, too far out to endanger the channels of navigation or affect the health of the oity. Bnt the oontracton have persistently violated this regulation, and are daily damping their soows inside the legal limit, in the very piaoes where they must do the great- eat possible damage to navigation and health. The police commissioners bave time and again denied the stories, and have never done anything to oorrect tbe evil, but the Herald has at last furnished positive proof against them. The Eng lish law makes it a penal offense to damp ashes or garbage in the harbor of Liverpool. , --Bad look seems to attend Ardh'^ PnroelL The Catholic banffig Bussing A Co., CInoinnatti, collapsed tv! »f6- J »asfSr£SS “»-w ot his retnra to his home In Vir. inia » T , jw one year’s experience in tho House Suit with poLtios, and that when hia term exoirc* he intends to retire in pirate life.’ i:.I7 v B? 1 ?bout four years old mJr little boy abont six hac been cm’ioned nt the neat-egg. butenemorai when they went for the egc-ths littS took it and started for the ho/e H i appointed brother followed, cryinK -wX measureebyr* 18 * 6 ' 8 g °‘ lLe to —The Oneter Monument at Wett Point hu been completed’ and will be unveiled input 33 with mUitary honors.
