Railroad Burst Up.—Houston Home Journal: Monday the train from Fort Valley met quite an exciting accident at the Ragin place, abeut five miles from town. It was quite a large train, having several freight cars laden with guano, com, etc., and one coach. The fifth car from the engine spread the track, and the rear part of the train was let down on the lies, and suffered a terrible jolting for a>out one hundred yards, doing consider- alle damage, bursting up the freight cars, wncking the running gear and spilling a car’oad of com. The passenger coach sustiined considerable shocks, although it was the last car on the train. We are glad t* state that no personal injury was done t» any employe or passenger. The spreaditg of the track is attributed to rot ten cross ties. The damage is estimated at fifteen hundred dollars. The track from hereto Fort Valley is very inferior, and it is stiange that similar accidents have not fallen place before this time. The road was repaired and the train got on by U o’clock that night, through the eneigy of ihe excellent section master, Mr. B. R. Herst, conductor Skellie and others. The triin was met in the after noon by the construction train and the mail and passengers made due connection at Fort Valley. That night one of the driving wheels of the engine ran ofl at the- same spot, but was soon gotten on again. The road was tom up for about a hundred yards, and they say the jolting of the pas senger coach beat forty earthquakes. Sometimes it jumped about two feet high, especially when it struck a cow pit after a jerk of about five feet. Fortunately the accident happened where there was no embankment. Covington Enterprise: A cow belong ing io Lige Graves, of Rocky Plains, is the mother of three fine calves all the same age and bom last Sunday night. The grain crop of Jefferson county is looking well and the present prospects in dicate a good harvest.

McBumey & Hollingsworth, of the Pulaski Factory, will 1 e able to use during the year evciy bale >w stored in the three warehouses here For several weeks they have been the b . gest cotton buyers in this market. Sandebsville Herald : A light snow fell ?t intervals during the day on Thurs day, with considerable rain in the after noon. At niglit snow fell to the depth of one or two inches, which continued on the ground till nearly noon on Friday. Notwithstanding this is one of the mildest winters known to this climate, and snow, even iu our hardest winters, is of very rare occurrence, yet we have had two quiet heavy storms in this unusually mild witer. How is this? Is it owing to the transit of a polar wave ? Augusta Ncics: Night before last, as the south bound freight train on the Char- Jotte, Columbus and Augusta road reached the Sugar creek bridge, thirteen miles south of Charlotte, a negro brake- man named Henry Young, who was on top of a car, was knocked off by coming in contact with the top of the bridge and killed. His body was found near the edge of the creek, badly mutilated. Home Toumal: Houston Factory. — A portion of the western wasteway of the Houston factory dam gave way week before last, letting off the water In the pond. The factory and mills had to stop for several days. Mr. Potter, however, put in a false dam above,and has resumed work again on full time. A new Waste way will be put In at once. We are In formed that Mr. Potter ha^orders ahead for all the cloth lie can make during the next six montlis—over 300,000 yards. The Waynesboro Expositor: It is re ported that Mr. William Wadley will soon build a free bridge across the Ogeechec river near the eighty-six mile post on the Central railroad, and that the Central railroad will very soon make the long contemplated shortening of its road be tween No. II and Millen. If these ru mors are true, Millen and Midville are in danger of loosing a considerable portion of their trade, and that a town will soon be.. jilt up at the eighty-six mile post. An exchange says the penalties for ob structing the census takers who begin their labors on the first Monday in June, are severe. The law says: All persons above the age of twenty- one years who shall refuse to furnish the information required by the supervisor or enumerator, shall forfeit and pay a sum not exceeding one hundred dollars, to be recovei ed in an action of debt. Presi dents, directors and other officials ofpri- va< e corporations who refuse to furnish information required of them are made liable to a penalty not to exceed ten thou sand dollars.

The officers have positive instructions to haul up ail breakers of the Sunday law. The same paper says: We are sorry to state that Captain A. S. Barnwell lias lost all of his convicts. Captain Ches.

Brunswick Advertiser: The carcass of a dead whale about forty feet in length was seen in the sound the past week. Presume his wlialcship was captured by the fleet that left here recently, and, after taking off his jacket, his carcass was turn ed adrift. Athens Danner: Of the Stovall fami Deputy Sheriff Mieajali Key, of Jasper ly, of Morgan county, there are nine liv- couuty, arrested a man charged with kill- ing another in South Carolina. It seems that the party had been in Jasper county some time, and since his stay there had married a daughter of Mr. Tbaddeits Pye, though he had a wife where he formerly liven. Two brothers of the murdered man had been in the county several days, seeking an opportunity to arrest the mur derer. Finding that there was money in foe post office for him, they posted the of ficers, anil when lie came last Friday to get tiie money, he was taken In charge by the Deputy Sheriff. A reward of $150, we learn, was offered for his arrest. Warkkxton Clipper: On Monday af ternoon last, about 3 o’clock, a_ mulatto iruui iu the employ of Mr. Levi Fowler, 'J'-'m Williams by name, came to bis death quite suddenly.

Their parents lived to quite an old age. The nine cbihlrcn are all in Georgia. Mr. John Stovall, of Morgan, is tlie eldest, and Mrs. Isaac Powell, of High Shoals, the youngest. Quitman Reporter: Tl*. prospects for a railroad to Monticello, Florida, from this point grows brighter every day. Of course, nothing will be done until the road from Waycross to Jacksonville will have been completed, and perhaps not before the first part of next year, though we un derstand that the S. F. and W. railroad company expect to complete the road to Jacksonville by the first of next Novem ber. The same paper says: Last fall, about fifteen miles below here, John Cook was handling a pistol in the house, his little brother being near him. The pistol acci dently fired off, the ball went through liis hand and entered his little brother’s head on the left side, in a few hours its right eye became very much swollen. About a spoonful of brains oozed out of the shot hole. It lingered for some time, hut final ly recovered and is now running and play ing about the yard with the other chil dren as if nothing had happened. The attending physicians say it is the most wonderful recovery known. Greensboro Journal: An interesting daughter of Mrs. V. S. Roberts, of this city, aged lour or five years old, very nar rowly escaped death on Monday last, by the accidental dischaige of a gun in the hands of a son of Dr. Harris, aged about eight years, who was bird shooting. The whole charge entered her right breast, near vital organs, and has not yet been extracted. The little girl is still alive, and faint hopes are entertained of her re covery. On Tuesday last there appeared on our streets a crazy negro, by the name of Tal- leyran, whose conduct created quite a sen sation. He lives near Fenfield, where he had been closely watched for some time, until he succeeded in making his escape. Yesterday morning he was brandishing his knife on the streets here, and making threats against divers persons. It was considered dangerous to let him remain at large loDger; so our Sheriff summoned a posse, and after some trouble succeeded in overpowering him and lodging him in jail. Timber Gazette: A raft of .forty-eight pieces of square timber was sold on Wednesday for $700. It was fine timber and large average, and was eagerly sought after. Such prices as these will bring us a world of timber after awhile. Since the first of the month there has been over 8,000,000 feet of timber down, still the prices-continue high. The market is a little easier now, hut that fact does not change the prides but very little. This should encourage the cutter. Mr. James Hunter cleared on Tuesday the Norwegian .bark Mars, Car! in Kro ger, for Dublin, Ireland, with cargo of 204,516 feet of hewn timbe- valued at $2,969.67; 128,879 feet of sa' a, valued at $1,546.48; and 11,174 feet cf ueals, valued at $134.08. The Irwinton Southerner says: During last week the amount of timber in the Darien market was not equal to the de mand. As a lumber port Darien is on the rise, and in the near future will become one ofthe most important in the South.” Correct. The Rome Tribune affords us the fol lowing trio of items: . » Fatal Shooting Affray.—We were informed yesterday that Ed. Rembert, the sheriff of Murray county, fatally shot Squire Carter on last Thursday, in Spring Place. The cause of the difficulty was a woman. At a meeting ofthe stockholders of the North Georgia and Alabama. Stea^nboat Company, held yesterday, ibwas deter mined to at once build and place on tlio river another steamer to accommodate the great increase of business. This is a good showing for both Rome and the steamboat company. We are pleased to learn that Colonel B. F. Sawyer’s invention of a paper bag machine is a pefect success, and that $15,000 has been tendered him for his rights in the State of Georgia. Colonel Sawyer is a hard working and deserving man, and no one wishes him greater suc cess than the writer. May he find “mil lions in it.” Ameihcus Recorder:—A Son Shoots His Mother.—From Mr. Jasper Murray of Macon county, we learn of a shocking occurrence which happened a few days ago in his neighborhood, about eight miles from Oglethorpe. Allen Meeks had pur chased some tobacco for his son James, borrowing tlie money for the purpose. He told bis son that he must make the amount good to him, with interest. James became strangely infuriated at the demand, and that night attempted to break through the door. Mrs. Meeks, his mother, resisted but her sou effected an entrance, when raising his pistol, he shot her in the head. The frenzied young man then ran and procured a gun, dis charged it, and commenced beating his father therewith. In the ensuing scuffle the old man succeeded in reaching a scythe blade, with which he caused his son to desist, cutting him first in the hand and arm. The pistol shot was not fatal, tlie ball ranging over the scalp. Mr. and Mrs. Meeks, both badly injured, were en abled to get to a neighbor’s, not a balf mile distant, when tlie wounds were dressed. The perpetrator of the diabolical act is at large. His father now says that liis eon came to his house some weeks ago, a runaway from Texas, where he killed two men, and that the Governor of that State offers a reward of $500 for liis arrest. We sympathize with the good people of Macon county, whose character sutlers at the record of 6uch a deed, rare as the occurrence may be. EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE Cuthbebt, February 11th, 18S0. state agricultural convention. Yesterday afternoon, after the conclu sion of the very able and instructive lec ture of Dr. J. P. Stevens, and the transac tion of certain routine business, the Con vention was entertained with a practical and lucid essay upon “Root Crops,” by B. D. Lnmsden, Esq., of Bibb county Tlie tollowing letter from Chancellor P. H. Mell, of the University of Georgia, ad dressed. to Colonel James H. Fannin was also read and received: Dear Sib: Yours, of the 7th instant, from LaGrange, has been received. I am sorry my engagements here have preven ted me from attending the session of your important body. It has given me real satisfaction that the influential agricul tural convention has entered as a factor into our University problem. 1 antici pate great and useful results from it. Please impress upon the individual mem bers that, in an important sense, the State College of Agriculture and the mechanic arts here is their institution entitted to their fostering care, and worthy of their confidence, or, at least, anxious to secure their confidence. State scholarships are granted to as many students, residents of the State, as there are members ot the House of Rep resentatives and Senators in the General Assembly. Please say to the members of your body that 1 will confer such schol arships on any young man recommended individually by them. When any one writes me recommending a young man, please let him state he is a member of the Agricultural Convention. Tbankiug you for your thoughtfulness and kindness in furnishing me this oppor tunity, I subscribe myself, Yours, with the highest esteem, P. H. Mell, Chancellor University ofGa. On motion, the chair was instructed to appoint two members from each Congres sional District to attend the annual Pom- ological Exposition, to be held in Atlanta next summer. During the day an epi sode in the proceedings of the Convention took place, by the entrance, accompanied by their instructors, of the students and pupils ofthe branch of the State Agricul tural College, located at this place. They formed an imposing array of intelligent looking youths. No further matters of importance com ing up for consideration, a resolution was offered and adopted, accepting an invita tion to proceed forthwith to the State Ag ricultural College, aud investigate its condition and operations. Thither, there fore, a large number of the delegates, to gether with their President and other offi cials, proceeded, and were cordially re ceived by the President of the institution, Prof. Sanford, and his associates. The pupils, numbering no less than one hundbed and fifty-one, were all present, and formed a small army of knowledge seekers. Prof. Sanford in vited President Hardeman to talk to the hoys, and so he did, in his own peculiar style, and with a vim which could not be excelled by any other orator in the Com monwealth. After him Dr. Butler was invi- This is designed for both sexes, and the students of the Agricultural College may receive lessons in boob* keeping one hour each day during the scholastic year, for the sum of twenty dollars. The day was closed by another interes ting experience meeting in the Conven tion Hall, Colonel Livingstone again pre siding, and a social entertainment at the residence of Colonel James T. Flewellen. It was a brilliant assemblage, and the toilets of many ofthe ladies exquisitely elegant. One notable feature also, in ad dition to the handsome and gallant beaux of Cuthbert, was the presence in the dance of numerous veteran farmers, who showed that they knew how to caper as well as plow. We would give their names, hut for fear of raising a breeze when they reach home again. Old bachelors and ex-Judges too, took part with amazing agility in the programme, aud we doubt not many a gay old fellow woke up with a stiff knee or the “rheumatics” the next day. The host and hostess spared no pains for the entertainment of their num erous guests, and the band discoursed most excellent music. Thursday, February 12th. LAST DAT, AND ADJOURNMENT OF THE CONVENTION. This morning after the assembling of the Convention appropriate and graceful resolutions of thanks were offered and unanimously adopted to the several rail roads, for favors extended; to the citizens of Cuthbert for their abounding and princely hospitality bestowed without money and without price; to the Presi dents and other officers of the several col leges and seminaries of the city for kind invitations to visit them; to the fair ladies of Cuthbert, for unnumbered courte sies received at their hands, and to the gentle donors of the magnificent bouquet presented to the Convention at is first as sembling. A resolution offered by Colonel Living stone was passed, to appoint one discreet person in each Senatorial district to or ganize new county agricultural associa tions. CONGRESS TO BE MEMORIALIZED. Colonel T. J. Smith offered the follow ing, which was adopted: Resolved, That a committee he appoint ed to petition Congress to append an amendment to the patent office laws for the protection of innocent purchasers of patent goods. On motion of General O. C. Home: Resolved, That the Vice President and the three resident members of the Execu tive Committee in each congressional dis trict, he requested and instructed to visit the several counties of their district, to aid in the organization, where none exist, of county associations, and strengthen those in a languishing condition. Adopted. Rev. Dr. A. L. Hamilton, of Andrew Female College, sent a communication to the Convention offering to receive, board and instruct any or all the daughters of the delegates to the Convention at a dis count of 20 per cent, on regular charges, if sent to the institution within one year from date. PLACE OF MEETING. Hartwell and Atlanta were nominated respectively as the next place of meeting for the Convention, and a sharp discus^ sion ensued upon the merits of each. When the vote was taken Atlanta was ted to take the stand, aud made one of the overwhelmedby a majority of two to one, most humorous and effective addresses an( j Hartwell designated as the place of that ever emanated from that witty speak er. Some playful allusions to the Presi dent ofthe Convention were promptly re sponded to by that functionary, and resul ted in a most amusing and sparkling joust between them, which was a drawn battle, j but afforded infinite entertainment to the ’ audience. Judge Clarke next introduced COLONEL LIVINGSTONE, who he said was mainly instrumental in procuring the passage of the bill establish ing the branch Agricultural College at Cuthbert. The Colonel came to time with one of the best and most appropriate addresses we ever remember to have beard. It at once stamped him as a man of no An Inadvertence. In our mention of the proceedings of the Agricultural Convention, recently held at Cuthbert, the following resolutions, intro duced by Mr. Lundy of Bit-b county, were unanimonsly adopted, but escaped the at tention of the writer, who was absent at the time. We cheerfully give place to them: Resolved, That the thanks of this Con vention are due and are hereby tendered to Dr. Hamilton, of Andrew Female Col lege, for many courtesies extended to mem bers of this body. Resolved further, That the faultless neatness ana system displayed in the va rious rooms and halls of the college commands our admiration, and while we are assured that the moral and intellec tual training ofthe pupils is not inferior to that of the oldest and most favored col leges in the land, we noted with special pleasure and commendation the various ingenious contrivances (several of them original) employed by the authorities of the college to promote among the pupils a healthy and beautiful physical develop ment. _ _ Brunswick Aroused. A telegram received at this office from Brunswick, states that the people are greatly exercised over the failure ofthe Macon and Brunswick railroad sale. Its mayor and council have addressed a tele gram to the Governor urging him to re consider his late action and sign the re quired warrantee deed to the road. A large and enthusiastic mass meet in: also has been held, and a special commit tee of citizens appointed to proceed to At lanta and confer with Governor Colquitt upon the subject. This action is.doubtless predicated upon the generally received opinion that as the parties to whom the road was hid off did come squarely up to every requirement of the law, within the prescribed thirty days, and it was the State that frustrated the final consumma tion of the sale, therefore it is competent for the latter to renew negotiations and if she sees fit the batgain and sale that had been agreed upon. It is not sur prising that Brunswick ’-ould he greatly disappointed. The s... 3«s of the project which was so nearly inaugurated, was of the last importance in her future welfare, and would have redounded greatly also to the benefit of our own city, and Middle and Southern Georgia. Despondency, if allowed to go unchecked, will often produce an unsound condition, so that the least unsatisfactory affair that happens will swell into terrifying propor tions. The mind being warped often im parts torpidity to the body, all of which more frequently is the effect of inaction of the liver than from any other cause, and by resorting to Simmons’s Liver Regula tor the mind will often find relief with the body. feblO-lw —There arrived in New York during January 5,839 immigrants. —President Grcvy pays $1400 twice a month for a State dinner to sixty-five per* ft sons. ship, etc. ordinary ability, and tlio youtlis present would do well to heed his counsels. General Browne, the Professor of Agri culture in the University of Georgia, was then called out by President Sanford, and responded very happily. He express ed great satisfaction that so iaige a num ber of the youth of the country had avail ed themselves of the opportunity of seek ing the advantages afforded by the open ing of this branch of the parent school at Athens, and hoped that when they bad completed their studies here, they would climb still higher, and not be content un til toey had received the full benefit of a University education. It is but proper to remark, in passing, that the stipend doled out by the State of Georgia for the suport of this institution, is a * MISERABLE TRAVESTY upon the dignity and resources of the Commonwealth. Unless speedily supple mented by larger appropriations, we see eo hope for the permanent success of the undertaking. Think of expecting a comj petent instructor, with a family to provide. for, to live upon the pitiful sum of $500 per annum. And yet that is the amount which Prof. McNulty receives, while a faithful female teacher for the primary department gets but $250 for her year’s services, and the excellent President him self only $1,250. This treatment is that of a STEP-MOTHER, not a genuine parent aud patron of the ciences. Shame on such a niggardly pol- .cy to her own children by the Empire State of the South I It is true that the Trustees of the University could afford to vote no laiger sum, but under the consti tution the means could have been placed in their hands by the Ligislature to pro vide for these auxiliary schools which are part and parcel of the present founda tion at Athens. ANDREW FEMALE COLLEGE. From the boys school, the company at the urgent invitation of President Hamil ton, repaired to that time-honored institu tion for young ladies which, more than iy other single object, has contributed to the fame of Cuthbert. They were 1 ceivcd with great impressment by Dr. Hamilton, who is undoubtedly one of tlie ablest, most accomplished and skillful fe male educators in tbe South. Possessing an energy which acknowledges no failure, his whole soul enthused with tbe value and importance of the college to which he has devoted so large a portion of his life, it is not wonderful that in the brief space of two years since his re-election to the presidency, tho institution has fully recovered from its partial paralysis, and now numbers about one hundred and forty young ladies, who are tlie peers in beauty and intelligence of any school In the land. The Doctor is always inventing some thing and doing something for the im provement physically and mentally of his girls. PHYSICAL TRAINING has a prominent place in the curriculum of the college. And by this we do not mean merely the ordinary calisthenic exercises of the schools. In addition to these, Dr. Hamilton has originated several ingenious contrivances by which any pupil afflicted with spinal curvature, lameuess, chest diseases and other infirmities, may obtain great benefit.if not absolute relief. Indeed, there are several girls in the col lege at this time w J10 were confirmed cnpplesbutare now almost entirely cured. This feature alone in tbe institution is worth very much to tho country, and should, of itself, crowd its halls with pu pils. These inventions were all exhibited at different timas to the delegates, and their operation exemplified in practice. We do not hesitate, from direct personal obser vation, both past and present, to com mend Andrew Female College to the peo ple of Southwest Geoigia and Florida, as well worthy of their patronage. The corps of instructors is excellent and the discipline kind but inflexible. On the present occasion, HON. THOMAS HARDEMAN AND DR. BUTLER were again called upon for addresses, and responded to tlie delight aud edification of the young ladies ana all present. Cuthbert lroasts also of a COMMERCIAL COLLEGE, recently established by Mr. B. C. Adams, for instruction in book keeping, ] penman- assembly for the summer session of the Convention. THE NEXT FAIR, Tlie Executive Committee reported that the propriety of holding a State Fair the present year, and where, if determined upon, it should be located, bad been con fided to a special committee with power to act in the premises. ADJOURNMENT. A motion to adjourn was made, and af ter a brief and pertinent farewell address from the President, the Convention was adjourned sine die. “THE GEORGIA WINE COMPANY.” Cuthbert enjoys the honor of having originated the first wine making organiza tion ever established in the State. It is modeled after those which have existed for several years in the West, and promi ses to b# a signal suceess. The company has been regularly incorporated with capital of $10,000, which may be increas ed at will to $50,000. The entire $10,000 has already been taken up by the princi pal grape growers of this section, meeting for regular organization will be held in May, at which time one-tenth of each subscription will be collected, and assessments to the same amount are to be called for every three months thereafter until the whole has been paid. The company will be ready by the first of September to purchase and convert into wine every grape that is raised in South west Georgia. They expect to turn out at least 10,000 gallons tbe first year from grapes grown in tbe immediate vicinity. I11 view of this enterprise, already large areas have been planted in bunch vines, anil the rearing of the scuppemong also is rapidly increasing. Mr. J. C. Martin, the pioneer and leader of this movement estimates in the very near future that the vintage will amount tone less than fifty thousand gallons per an num. Within one year a commodious building will be erected in which all the operations of the concern will be carried on. The company is composed of ten of the most substantial citizens of the com munity.

Vine- clad France has been enriched by tbe cul tivation of the grape, but lias suffered greatly from certain insects and diseases of late years which have damaged, and in some instances, destroyed her vineyards. None of these have affected the vines of America, and Mr. Berckmans and other nurserymen of tliis country have shipped whole cargoes of grape cuttings to France, where it seems the American stocks so far have escaped all injury from the prevailing maladies, A DELEGATE CAPTURES ONE OF THE BELLES OF CUTIIBEBT. A pleasant episode occurred this morn ing at the residence of Colonel Herbert Fielder, which stirred with envy tlie nu merous bachelors and widowers of the Convention, and created any amount of sensation. This was the nuptials at the residence of her parents, of Miss Kalura Fielder and Abner Hogg, Esq., of Cedar- town, a delegate from Folk county. The happy couple, after a protracted engage ment, were made one in the presence of a goodly company of the elite of Cuthbert, Rev. M. McGehee, the Methodist pastor, officiating. Mr. Hogg is a prominent merchant and planter in his section, and a gentleman of pleasing manners and modest worth. His bride, for intellectual gifts, genuine piety, and every quality that adorns her sex, is the peer of any lady in the State. Elegant refreshments were served after the ceremony, and amid the tears and smiles of » host of friends, the handsome pair left for their home in North Georgia. We have a few undigested notes still on hand, which, however, must lie perdu for the present. Suffice it to say Cuthbert by her magnificent entertainment of the Ag ricultural Convention covered herself with glory, and hundreds ofthe citizens of Upper Georgia will go home charmed and astonished with the people and country of Southwest Georgia. H. H. J. Talbotton Register: The colored fair recently held on tho plantat ion of Mr. John K. Baisden, near Prattsburg, did not seem to prosper well. Several negroes retired to a piece of woods apart to gam ble. One of the number wan all the money ofthe crowd, and a coat from a colored brother. The one minus a coat went off to borrow money with which to redeem it; returning, he rejoined his com panions, who allied against the successful card player and clubbed him nearly to death, leaving him on the roadside for dead. On being found next morning,* the negro’s skull was found to be badly frac tured, from the effects of which he died soon after. The guilty parties have not yet been caught.

IBELAMD’S EXTREMITY. The Fearful Photograph of Connema ra—Five Thousand Persons in the Clutches of Gaunt Famine. A Dublin letter to a New York paper gives a terrible picture of destitution in some parts of Ireland. The famine fever prevails to an alanniag extent in some places, and barrowing descriptions are given of tbe distress. There are four parishes in Connemara lyirfg along the Southern Coast, Galeway county, and not one of the three Com missioners deputed by the Government to inquire into tbe state of things in Con naught, has visited these parishes. Sim ilarly, two gentlemen who traveled through the reported distressed districts on behalf of the Duchess of Marlborough, are said to have left these parishes out of thoir inspection. They lie far away from all regular routes, and the workhouse, legal refuge for the destitute, is twenty- six miles away. The process server, how ever, ha3 visited these wilds. These four parishes cover an area of about forty square miles, aud there is not in the whole island a more stricken or woebegone region. The following is .a re port about the condition of the parishes named: Camagh, with perhaps a couple dozen exceptions, the whole population of 5,000 are on the high road to death by starvation. Hunger has overtaken more than one-third of them already. Those who have anything to eat are living on the seed potatoes. Every day some family is eating its last meal of them. Numbers of families squat in their hideous cabins around the morsel of live turf all day long, m order not to awaken the pangs of hunger by active exercise. Wretched peasant mothers stumble over miles of sharp-pointed rocks with their bare feet to implore Indian meal for their whining children. They also carry layers of turf or drip ping sea-weed on their backs for ten *r fifteen utiles like beasts of burden. Starva- tir ji' ■''tag on far and wide. The weath er * and the people are half naked There are no beds even for foe sick, and they lie in their daily clothes, with their old tattered rags around them. FASHIONS OF THE STERNER SEX. Nationality Betrayed by Peculiari ty of Dress—The Ideal Frenchman of 1880. Much is written every day about ladies’ fashions, very little about the dress of men or gentlemen. It will be objected that, from China to Peru, the stove-pipe hat and the tail coat or jacket reign su preme. True; but each nation stamps its individuality on this common form. An Englishman looks entirely different from a Frenchman, and a Frenchman from an Italian. The Englishman is not more expansive in his dress any more than he is in his habits and conversation; he readily adopts a rule and fellows it. If the summer fashion he light gray frock coat and trousers and a black silk hat, every man in London, who pays attention to his dress will wear a light gray frock coat and a black silk hat. You might form a perfectly uniform regiment of the beaux who promenade on the shady side of Piccadily and ogle the belies of the Burlington Arcade. The Frenchman will wear the same costume, but be will put his expansive nature into it, and make it blossom with brandebourgs and border- iugs of silk and velvet; be will rebel against uniformity, in spite of tbe tempt ing offers of enterprising tailors who make a costume complete for thirty-five francs. It will be observed that English coats but ton higher than French; the collars, the trimmings, if trimmings there be, are of the same material as tlie coat, which fits more tightly and correctly than the French coat. The shirt collar is lower and closer, and the wristbands are smaller. The English show less linen than the French, and they affect suits of the same material. When once a fash ion has been adopted, it becomes an affair of caste; in France it is an affair of indiv iduals. The French masculine costume has a tendency to greater freedom; every thing becomes larger, especially the wrist bands, and the further south you go the more this tendency becomes confirmed. Men of Latin origin may be recognized by the ampleness of the bow of their cra vat, if by nothing else. An Anglo-Saxon would blush to wear a cravat emerging luxuriously over bis dress. The jacket, too, in France, tends to lose its buttons; it is capricious as a woman, and may have two, three or one button. The following is about the appearance of an elegant Frenchman in the present year of grace, 1880: Silk hat, rather low in the crown and with a narrow brim; shirt col lar upright and almost meeting front; long black overcoat, coining down half way between the knee and the ankle, with fur collar and culls; trousers of cheviot tweed; yellow gaiters, over very pointed shoes; chamois gloves stitched with blue; woollen gauntlets, and a cane with a steel or nickel knob. Men who respect themselves do not wear flowers in their button hole, waistcoats button rath er high, so as to leave visible only one stud, which should .be a black pearl. For evening dress, the bow of the cravat should be perfectly horizontal; the trou sers a little wide at the bottom; the shoes of tine English patent leather, very open at the instep; ornamental with a bow of ribbon or a very small silver buckle. The wearer should endeavor, from time to time, to show his silk stocking of som bre colors, brown, maroon, dark blue, or black, with very small colored spots. A Celebrated Hard Case. From the Virginia City (Nev..) uhron clr.j Ireland, and Empress of India eives “It’s astonishin’,” remarked the old for- koo *L , ’ glTes $2 >‘ —‘Victoria, Queen of Great Britain and A Historical Anchor and CuriotiB Belie. The Moniteur of Martinique, prints an interesting story about the finding of an anchor belonging to the ship upon which Christopher Columbus sailed on his third voyage of discovery to the New World. On the night of August 1,1498, says the Moniteur, the small fleet had come to an anchor at the southwestern extremity of the island of Trinidad, to which'the navi gator had given the name of Arenas Point. Washington Irving relates that Columbus, who was .a very poor sleeper, suddenly heard a frightful noise, apparently com ing from the south. Rushing on deck, he saw rolling toward him a wave as huge as a mountain, which threatened to submerge the fleet. All hands thought their last hour had come; but the only- damage sustained was the loss on one of the anchors of the Admiral’s ship. The big wave was caused by the sudden swelling of one of the rivers that empty their waters into the Gulf of Parlia, the existence of which was unknown to the discoverer. The in cident is mentioned in the narrative of the voyage bequeathed to us by Ferdinan- do, Columbus’s son. This historical an chor has been found after all these cen turies by Senor Agostino, the owner of Arenas Point. It weighs 1,100 pounds, and is of decidedly primitive form. Senor Agostino found it while making some ex cavations in his garden. This garden, upon careful measurement, appears to oc cupy the precise spot where rode the ships of the great mariuer in 1498. The finder at first took bis treasure tiove for a Phoenician anchor, but upon attentive ex amination he found the date of 1497 on the stock. How to Beach the North Foie. Commander Cheyne, who will have charge of the proposed British arctic ex pedition, which will start next summer, is agitating the propriety of prosecuting his explorations, when navigation, sledges, and every other forward movement fails, by means of balloons. But the trouble is, may not the stubborn air ship take a Southern tack, and keep on until it reach es the blazing suns of the equator? The commander must first rig a rudder, and take on a portable steam engine, so that he can give tbe proper headway to the mrial machine. There is this advantage, however, about this projected movement, (that if the Com- o Mt-uuuum, ivuuukcu uie oiu ior- ty-niner, as he nodded over his glass, “it’s astonishin’ what a coward a man is at home—a reg’lar crawlin’ sneak, by Jove!

The Singular Manner in Which it Disappeared at a Dinner Party. From tho New York Tribune.) A very singular case of thieving to high circles has been under investigation by the police for a week. The story has been whispered about in fashionable cir cles, but the social position of the persons concerned has prevented publicity, while it has compelled toe police to work with extreme caution, and has hampered them to thir efforts. A dinner party was given recently at the house or a family well known in the wealthiest and most fash ionable circles and occupying a handsome mansion in one of the uptown side streets near Filth avenue. Eighteen or twenty ladies and gentlemen were at the table. The conversation turned on diamonds and precious stones, and the hostess, tak ing from her finger a beautiful emerald set to a cluster of diamonds, handed it te her neighbor, calling his atten tion to its lustre. The ring passed from hand to hand around the ta ble, admired by all, and gradually, the conversation turning ou other topics, was lost sight of. The owner never saw it again. It did not complete the circuit of the table, and in whose hands it had last been could not be determined. A num ber of servants were in the room and near the table, but no reason for suspeeting them could be found. Nothing was left, however, but toe conclusion that either one of theta or one of the guests had taken the ring. It had been bought a short time before for $8,000. When the guests were separating one of the gentlemen found the ring, minus the gems, to his overcoat pocket. He rushed at once into the drawing-room again, exhibited the ring, told how he had found it, and de manded that whoever had put it there should now produce the jewels that had been forced out of the setting. Every body seemed amazed, but no one helped the poor gentleman, whose embarrassing situation may be imagined. He is of an old family and bears an honored historic name. He was so much affected by the occurrence as to he quite ill the next day. Neither he nor any one else is yet known to have found any clue to the mystery. Canal or Bailway. CaptainEads’bill for the construction of a ship railway across the American Isth mus is favorably received in the Missis sippi Yalley, where his engineering skill is fully appreciated. Tlie St. Louis Globe- Democrat confesses that it was staggared at first by the proposition to transport toe largest ships that cross the Atlantic over the Isthmus, but inasmuch as Captain Eads has explained that several passes through toe Cordilleras have been survey ed over which grades of only one foot in 100 are entirely practicable, the feasibility of the proposal is regarded as much more apparent. Such a grade would need to he ex tended only 3,000 feet from the shore line of a harbor down into the water to put the end of the railway thirty feet deep, and to enable the largest ships to float over on a car or cradle^ designed to sup port them during their transit. This car or cradle, would itself be supported on about 3,000 wheels of two feet diameter, resting on twelve rails laid on a solid road bed about fifty feet wide. A loaded ship and car, weighing together about 10,- 000 tons, w ould impose a pressure of but five tons on each wheel. This would be less than the pressure put upon toe rails of ordinary railroads by the wheels of their locomotives. Six or seven tom to the wheel is the ordinary weight imposed by the four driv ing wheels when at rest, and this is large ly increased by the irregularities to the road, when these wheels are moving at high velocities. The weight of the car and the ship would be distributed over about 22,000 square feet of road bed, thus giving a pressure on the earth of less than one half a ton per square foot. This m SSS&SK.SS’dTSSiE — If ships can be transported by a railway the resolution by moving that it be con- across the Isthmus within the next four or five yeare, it will be probably ten years sooner than a canal can be made ready, and it will cost not more than one third tlie money. Marriage of Mr.'Poindexter and Miss Cottrell.—The Richmond Com monwealth says that on Tuesday evening at nine o’clock, at the house of Miss Alvis, brother-in-law of Miss Cottrell, Mr. John E. Poindexter was inarrried to Miss Isa bel Cottrell, rector of the Monumental Church. Mr. Poindexter was carried out to Mr. Airis’s house by Sergeant Lee, to whose custody he is until he shall be turned over to the authorities of toe peni tentiary. There were present a few ot toe lady friends of Miss Cottrell, and a few of Mr. Poindexter’s friends, includin'* his brothers, Mr. Childrey, Mr. Lyon, Judge Minor, and Mr. Royall. It is understood that Sergeant Lee will cany Mr. Poindex ter to the penitentiary to-day or to-mor row, to serve out his sentence of two years. Sound Talk.—The Bulletin says the Harlem River Ship Canal enterprise, we observe, is to be supplemented now with a ship canal—if Congress will vote tbe money—across Bergen Neck, to con nect Newark with New York. The esti mated cost is about three million and a half. The owner of the eight or nine miles of unoccupied lands, to which a work of this character would doubtless impart considerable value, ought to pro vide the capital for it, aud not saddle it upon tlie tax payers. If the canal can be made a paying enterprise its own merits, the necessary private capital for its con struction doubtless will be forthcoming. If it is not likely to pay, the fact may be accepted as prima facie evidence that it is not necessary for any legitimate require ment of commerce, and that Congress therefore had better let it alone. Besides if New York demands $3,500,000 fora canal to Newark, with what consistency could our representatives withhold appro priations for the canal across the Dela ware peninsula, the Florida ship canal,the Niagara ship canal, and the various other extravagant jobs-of the kind that, on some plausible plea or another, are con stantly menacing the Federal treasury.

Hayden to be Tbied Again Nor wich, Conn., February 18.—From an authentic source, which the Herald cor respondent is not permitted to divulge, it is gathered that the Rev H. H. Hayden, the alleged murderer of MaryE.Stan- nard, will be soon rearrested and tried again. The trial, it is expected, will be a short one, not occupying over ten days or two weeks. Little, if any, scientific tes timony will be used. Dying on His "Wife’s Grave.—A German named George Beck, committed suicide on his wife’s grave to a cem etery on Long Island, N.

Inte-Oceanic Canal.—Washing ton, February 10.—No affirmative action on the subject of the construction of the In ter-oceanic canal will be taken by Congress at the present session.

National Democratic Convention. The National Democratic Committee will shortly meet here, to select toe place and time for holding the National Con vention. Among the places spoken of are both Washington and Baltiomore, but toe chances are very mucli in favor of Cincin nati. Cincinnati has bad a committee at work to the matter for quite a while, and it is known that a goodly number of mem bers ofthe committee have already pledg ed themselves to vote for that city. Washington, although spoken of, is not .likely to get more than a scattering vote in any event, for various reasons. Balti more, which has always been a favorite place for national conventions, has put forth no effort, and in this shows much less enterprise than the large Western cities. Perhaps her people think her natural and social advantages are suf ficient, and do not need to be supple mented by toe aid of lobbies _and other material appliances. Another Atlanta Bogus Sensation. We were shown a letter yesterday from a prominent source in Atlanta, to a large Central railroad stockholder in this city, asking if toe report was really true that Mr. Wadley had soldjiis ocean steamships to the Louisville and Nashville railroad, to be put on the Pensacola route. It is needless to say that the directors of toe Central residing here, affirmed that the story was not only false, but nothing of the kind had ever even been mooted. It is easy to see that toe putpose of this statement was simply to check toe ad vance to Central railroad stock, and thus play into toe hands of certain specula tors. These steamships are the right bowers of the Central railroad, without which no tlireu^li freight or passenger connections could be made with New York. They may he forced to add to their number, but most certainly will not part with any of toe noble vessels which have done so much to give prestige and popularity to the line.
