The total number of fires in Paris last year (chimneys excepted) was 1,049. The loss was a little over $1,000,000. The Constellation Supplies for the Irish in excess of storage room on board the frigate Constellation have already been tendered. —The Gainesville Florida Bee says that General Loring states he has returned claim his residence in Florida, and will remain in the State the rest of his days. —Havana, as usual, has had yellow fe ver all winter. The National Board Health has information that there were nine deaths from the fever in February, and five during the week of March, ending the 12th. —It appears from a statement recently made by the Secretary of Warthat SG9,S23 pounds of cannon, condemned as useless for army purposes and worth $111,345, have been given away by act of Congress for soldiers’ monuments. The supply is nearly exhausted. FrostJAgain.—Ajlarge frost, says the Augusta News, was discovered this morn ing (Saturday), below Montmorenci, on the South Carolina Road, about twenty- five miles from Augusta. This may be called the first of the spring series frosts, and If the young sprouts and fruits don’t keep under cover they will be hurt. —Both Houses of the Iowa State Legis lature have passed a constitutional amend ment which will now go to the next Leg islature for ratification, prohibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxicating quors, including ale, wine and beer, and authorizing an enactment of Sunday reg ulations and penalties for the enforcement of prohibition. \ —Of the seventeen daily newspapers published in Philadelphia, eleven strongly pronounced against the third term movement, and one has nothing say either way. Twelve of the thirteen weeklies published in that city are also opposed to the nomination of Grant, both dailies and weeklies representing an ag gregate circulation of 300,000 papers. —The new treaty with China modifies in many respects the existing treaty, es pecially with reference to Chinese emigra tion to this country. This subject has been adjusted to the satisfaction of both United States and Chinese governments. Very practical restrictions are placed on Chin ese emigration to this country, and under them the abuses which have caused much trouble on the Pacific coast will be prevented. —By the completion of the Southern Pacific Railroad to Tucson, Arizona, the capital of that far Southwestern Territory is brought within about nine to ten days’ travel of the" notional capital. But just think of that spread of territorial empire, in which it requires ten days of railway travel, continuously night and day, for the Congressional delegate of the Territory to reach his place in the National Con- —Andersonville Cemetery, in Georgia, says a northern paper, is visited by many Northerners, but Southerners avoid the spot. On the visitors’ bock are many strange inscriptions, mainly of passionate denunciation of the South by relatives of the dead. There are a thousand stones bearing the word “Unknown.” There are 14,000 graves. Some of the stones are very handsome, and seme of the graves are kept green. —Among the visitors to Cincinnati was a barrel of Savannah river water, sent by Mr. Estill of the Morning News, to be emptied into the Ohio river at Cincinnati. Upon each end of the barrel is inscribed; “Only water. Water taken out of the Savannah river at Savannah, Ga., which floated 700,007 bales of cotton; 325,028 barrels of naval stores, 28,809,642 feet of lumber this season. It is good for trade and good to drink.

She was on hand for the other ceremony, however, and it proceeded smoothly as far as the question whether anybody objected, when Mr. Deputy re marked that he had an objection—a trif ling one, which he felt some reluctance about mentioning—the lady was his wife. —One happy result of the upheaval in Russia is said to be a reconciliation be tween the Czar and Czarina. The grati tude of the former at his escape from death was so great that he addressed a communication to his wife expressing re gret at past misconduqf, and promising that in the future there would be no oc casion for scandals. The Czarina’s health is reported much improved in consequence, and the reconciled royal pair are preparing for a season of retirement in the moun tains of the Austrian Tyrol. —The railway on Vesuvius is now com pleted. It is 900 metres long and extends to the edge of the crater.- The road has been built with great care, and is secured against streams of lava. The trains are moved by means of two wire ropes, drawn by a steam-engine at the base of the mountain. The wheels of the cars are so constructed as to preclude the possibility of their jumping the rails. Every car is provided with a powerful automatic break, which will prevent the vehicle from rush ing down the slope in case a rope should break. —The wife of the French Consul at Adrianople writes that thousands ol Mus sulmans, driven by the result of war from Bulgaria, East Roumelia, and Thrace to take refuge in Adrianople, are starving to death. What with the war and two bad harvests, Thrace can’t support her own poor, much less any outsiders. There are 20,000 of these hapless refugees in Adrian ople, more than^ third of whom are in absolute destitution. The French govern ment has kindly given some assistance, and the Consulate is surrounded all the time by a throng whom it is impossible to relieve. —The patriarch of Buzzard’s Roost, a little town within the shadow of Mount Shasta, Cal., after seventy years of single bliss, longed for a wife. He heard of the Matrimonial News, tont for a copy, and thus made the acquaintance (by letter) of a Boston widow. But he was cautious, and though evidently impressed in her favor, hesitated about taking the final step. While he hesitated leap year came, and the widow taking advantage of that fact, packed her trunk, telegraphed to the pa triarch that she was going out to marry Mm, and started. The old man accepted the situation; they were married immedi ately, and are happy. • The Egyptian Dhoura. A Decatur correspondent of the Fort Worth (Texas) Democrat tells that he planted half a pound of seed in May last, of the Egyptian Dhoura, a species of corn, on the first of May, and without any cul tivation either with plow or hoe, by the 4th of July the top heads were ripening and the process of forming shoots from joints and suckers continued till frost. Af ter a heavy loss from the depredations of chickens and birds, he gathered eighteen bushels of seed, and the ground was never once wet with rain during the growth of the crop. Two and a half bushels of the seed were ginned into flour and pro nounced better than corn. Stock of all kinds eat it voraciously. The birds made havoc of it in the field, and the blossoms attracted the bees in swarms. The writ er thinks he has found a substitute for In dian corn better than the corn itself, and infinitely preferable, considering the scar city of rain in Texas. The Tariff. The other day a reporter of the Wash ington Post interviewed the Hon.William R. Morrison, of Illinois, about the pros pect of his bill, cutting down all the du ties on foreign goods in excess of fifty per cent, of their value to that figure, and the prospect of any tariff reduction at all. Mr. Morrison could give no hope of either. He said: A few years ago any one would have been ashamed to insist on maintaining a duty in excess of fifty per cent. To illus trate my idea, let me say that fifty per cent, duty makes you pay one dollar out of every three invested in articles forduty —that is, the laborer who puts two or three days’ work in sugar or salt, or any ether necessary of life, in cheap blankets or coarse woolen clothes even, gives oue day of the three for taxes and protection. Take the article of sugar, so largely used by the pdOr.' -When the earnings of three days’ labor is invested in that article, I think one day is enough to give to taxes and a few sugar planters in Louisi ana. But now more is exacted This article pays about sixty per cent., and what I proposed was to reduce it to fifty per cent, only because I feared that was all I could get. Even that is resisted, and the same and more may be said of all other articles to be affected by the bill I introduced, and which now pays duties in excess of fifty per cent. The sugar duty is by no means the worst abuse, because many articles are so highly taxed that they are not brought to this country. Be sides, tlje sugar duty, is mostly revenue, about fifteen per cent, of what we use be ing made here. The duty on the other 1 eighty-five per cent., which amounts an- nually to about $40,000,000, is • revenue, and goes into the Treasury. The in creased price of the fifteen per cent., amounting to about $0,000,000, goes to the planter as a bonus received by protection. My bill would leave him $5,000,000, which is enough. The oilier million would make many a poor fellow’s coffee sweeter be sides lowering the cost of all imported sugars in proportion.” “What effect will the non action of Congress have in a political sense ?” “Do you mean how it will affect the Democratic party, which disclaims in its platforms and throughout the country against tariff abuses, aud then takes four years to pass one little bill, and repeal the duty on a single article, quinine, accom plishing that only through a suspension of the rule, and the assistance of many Republicans ?” “That’s about what I mean.” “Oh, don’t ask me that.” “Well, then, you say that the sugar duty is not one of the greatest abuses of the present tariff sytern. Name some others.” “Certainly not, because of the increased price, amounting to about $40,000,000, the Treasury gets nearly $40,000,000 and the planters $0,000,000, because so laige a proportion of the article used is imported. In the case of most articles to be affected by my bill, the proportion is just the re vise. Nearly all of the increased price goes to the manufacturer here, and very little to the Treasury, because nearly all these articles are produced here, and but little imported. As I said, the importa tion of many articles is practically prohib ited, aud our manufacturers are left with out competition from abroad, either in cost or quality, and whatever increase of Precocious Cotton. Tiie Irwinton Appeal says, Mr. W. B. Smith showed them a green cotton boll, on last Monday, as large as a pigeon's egg. It had been taken a day or two be fore from a cotton stalk growing on the plantation of Mr. W. G. Payne, in the lower part of the county. We presume the plant in question sprang from the root of a stock of last year’s cotton, which had grown In some sheltered spot. In other words, if was rattoon specimen. Instances of this sort are frequently to be noted in the mild climate of the seaboard of Georgia. The writer has seen whole fields of Sea Island cotton throw up shoots from the roots, some cases putting out several feet from the surface. Occasionally the plants come to perfection and mature very early. They are usually loaded with fruit, but the staple of the fibre is short aud coarse in this country. Not so in Cuba. We saw cotton shrubs of several years’ growth, as large as man’s leg and fifteen or twenty feet ip. al titude, on that island, thorrgh they were isolated instances, a3 no fields of the sta ple were to be discerned. Several open bolls were plucked, and deposited for some time in the public library of this city. The staple resembled that of ordi nary upland cotton. The case above men-, tioned forcibly evinces the. exceeding mildness of the past winter even in mid-, die Georgia. As far North . as Macon quite a number of our citizens are eating new Irish potatoes, and had a full crop of early vegetables been planted in Noyem- ber, cucumbers, tomatoes .and squashes might now be enjoyed, with the previous protection for some half-dozen nights only from the few frosts that h*ave supervened The Radicals Wrathy. In the Congressional bill appropriating money for the payment'of United States marshals, nothing is allowed for the ex penses of the deputy marshals appointed to serve on election days. This lias made the Republicans red hot, and with Gar field as their mouth piece, they 2 charge that it is a deliberate attempt to • nullify and virtually destroy the election lawS de spite the recent decisjon of the Supreme, Court. Loud were the threats made oh the floor of the House to ventilate this outrage on the hustings' during the ensil ing presidential campaign.' But'the Ba' timbre Sun shows that these blatant worthies have time and again been guilty of this identical' offense, if offeilse 'it betermed. It says: '"' nt 11 Politicians very often are afflicted with short memories, and therefore 'it is hot perhaps to be wondered at that General Garfield and his friends, , who to-day thought the simple neglect to make an ap-- propriation such a terrible, such a danger ous and such a revolutionary' act, forgot that they, when in power in Congress, de liberately did exactly the same thing over and over again. One case in point is suf ficient to illustrate, that of Mr. Harvey, the United States minister to Portugal du ring the administration of Andrew John son. Mr. Harvey wrote a letter approv ing the policy of President Johnson, and for the exercise of this, his uhdoubted right as a citizen, the Republican Con gress refused for several years to make any appropriation to pay his salary, al though the law under which he heW his appointment, was just as much a law as the election laws. As often said, there is absolutely nothing in the way of partisan legislation that the Democrats can possi bly attempt that they cannot find Repub lican precedent for. Sharp Canvassing for Parliament in England. Late advices from Europe indicate that there will be a very spirited canvass for seats in the new parliament, between the Liberals and the Government party, has been several years since the country has been agitated by any general election, and the critical condition of affairs on the continent, and English complications in the East, lend unusual interest to the con- «- Ireland,too,will item an impor. producer and manufacturer here, and not by the Treasury Department. The con sumer pays all the same.” “Your bill, however, does not appear to have contemplated a very radical change in the tariff.” “No, it was intended to lop off some of the most flagrant wrongs of the pres ent tariff system, which come to us from the necessities, real or pretended of the war.” “Is it not, then, a free trade measure?” “Certainly not. While we have so large a debt we must have a laige revenue from imports, and this, honestly laid, will givejncidental and sufficient protection to satisfy all reasonable men. Under the power to raise revenue we have no right to prohibit or prevent revenue being raised by entirely shutting our doors by a pro hibitory tariff. We might as well shut up Hell Gate, and not improve New York harbor; fill the mouth of the Mississippi with sand bars, instead of opening it with jetties.” Shall we “Resk” it?—That is the question now before the National Repub lican Executive Committee. The Ger mans all say they are not yet ready for imperial Grant and a third term. Many of them say they have not tried a republic long enough to be certain they are ready to give it up. They want to try it as long as they tried the Kaiser and the Emperor. Some of the committee say try Grant with a proviso. Run him once more on a < platform that “he’s not to run.again.” Othprs say that is fool talk, for you know that if we want a strong man with a big club now, it will be worse four years hence when the fools and knaves set up their screams and groans for liberty and la republi c. Then we must have a man who will answer their clamor at the cannon’s mouth. No! In for a penny, in for a pound. If we get Grant in once more, let it be understood he goes in to stay,and all these soft-shell Republicans go under to stay. Grant has got the delegates al ready, and there is to be no more fooling. tant factor in the programme, and both sides will put forth their best men and efforts. As usual money will be spent like water. In the old country, however, this is looked upon as a matter of course, and does not seem to involve any disgrace whatever. A regular purse is raised for campaign purposes, and votes are bought without the least scruple or hesitation. Not anfrequently the stand ing of a single member for Parliament costs him many thousand pounds. It is said that Mr. Gladstone is working like a beaver in the Mid-Lothian canvass. His efforts might well challenge the ad miration of a Western stump orator. The Honorable gentleman made no less than thirteen speaking appointments in one week, and is throwing an immense amount ofvjm inj&thegatppalgn. The elections will take place in a few weeks, so that the agony will soon be over. Gexebal Grant is daily expected in New Orleans. Chattanooga has sent him pressing invitation to make her a visit. The rival candidates are fixing up their bureau and papers, and the brotherhood are complaining of honest John Sherman, who, after volunteering assurance that he should electioneer for himself, but not against anybody else, is issuing from his Washington bureau some heavy side winders against Blaine and Grant. The Darien Canal.—According to a survey made by Lieutenant Cravens, and reported to Secretary Toucey, in 1858, of route across the isthmus sixty-five miles length, the route would require the la bor of 20,000 men for twenty-one years. The City of Rome, Georgia, last Thursday was pretty will submerged by overflow of the river. The Tribune office was afloat and the paper suspended. The temperance societies were repealed, ae there was water enough for that day. Harrowing Picture of Irish Suffering and a Landlord’s Brutality. The Dublin correspondent of the Boston Herald gives a graphic description of the eviction of nine families for rack-rent im posed by an absent landlord, on Lord Gox- manston’s estate in County Meath. The work wasclone by the sheriff and his posse comilalus. Hear the heart-rending xd- citali ’. . . .. j • At 12 o’clock to-day, in the midst. ,of a drizzling rain, when every man’s lips are busy discussing how relief can be caitied to this home and that, an imposing spec tacle presented itself through a quiet part of the parish of Kingscourt. A carriage contained Mr. Hussey, Jr.j son of the agent of Lord Gormanston. Behind and before the carriage dune about a dozen of outside cars, with a resident Magis trate, an Inspector of Police, about forty of. her Majesty’s force, . Hue Sheriff and some dozen of as rapacious- looking drivers and grippers as ever I laid my eyes upon. There is a dead silence at the bait before the first doomed dopr. That silence was. broken by myself ad dressing tbe agent, craving to'let the poor people in again after the vindication, of the law, when; to mv disgust, but not . .to my dismay, one of the crowd is observed by me taking notes. The sheriff formally asks: “Have you the rent!” The' trem bling answer is. “My God! how could I have the whole rent; and such a rent, .-on such a soil, and in such a year .as this?” “Out, out,” is the word, and right heartily the grippers set to work. Dm the: dung pit is flung the scanty furniture, bed ana bedding; a search is made for pig or goat, and forthwith they share the fate of the evicted master, the door is nailed, and the imposing army marches on to the. next holding, till every house has been visited and every soul sent forth. A£ • this. mo ment there is a downpour of rain on that miserable fumiture-rOhthat poor bed and. this in particular, has left them unable to pay the entire rent of this year. Yes, en tire rent—the half, the nine-tenths of the rent would not be accepted. Priests joined the poor tenantry in petitioning again and again. No answer was given but ‘Have you the whole rent? Have you law expenses ? If not, put you go.’ Lack of space prevents us from instanc ing other cases. But this single picture is enough tostir the heart of free America where even the humblest colored citizen wiCh the least modicum of industry may occupy his own cottage and possession of land. Can it be deemed strange that un der such merciless treatment the popula tion of Ireland should have been reduced from eight to five millions? A Hard Case. Two employes of a railroad in Balti more have been discharged, because they were drawn as jurors and forced to serve under the heavy penalty of the law. This js what we call the grossest oppression imaginable. Jury duty is not only right, but a privilege accorded to all who are qualified under the Constitution, and no man should be deprived of this pre rogative of citizenship. We are not aware whether, by the laws of Geoigia, any em ployer would be sustained in discharging a clerk or assistant for merely obeying the laws of the Commonwealth. If such be the case, however, remedial legislation and that at the earliest moment,'is cer tainly needed. - The Selma and Gulf Railroad. We learn from the Montgomery Adver tiser that the old Selma and Gulf railroad has been reorganized withFred dcFuniak, D. F. Sullivan, G. A. Stanley, Thomas G. Jones, Wj. P- Armstrong, B.

Chipley, Superintendent of both lines /:> CANDLELIGHT SERMON. A Packed Church to Listen to John Wanamaker Last Night. Mr. John Wanamaker held services at the Chambers Presbyterian Church last night, corner Broad and Sansoin streets, Which packed the house from top to Bot tom. An “Illustrated Candle Sermon’’ was the form of the announcement. Up behind the pulpit Mr. Wanamaker stood, with a series of lighted candles before him, each one shorter than tbe other, so that from tbe beginning of tbe series, which was a full length candle, to the ending, which was a short stump of a can dle, so many stages of life were repre sented. The first candle was youth,the last was old age; those intermediate represent ed the various stages of life between these two extremes. Mr. Wanamaker’s sermon received its illustrations from these lights before him, and plain and striking these illustrations were in their garb of the simple, well-chosen words with which he treated his subject. The hopes and aspi rations of youth were dwelt upon, the first candle serving to elucidate this stage, Then a more mature stage of life was reached, the second candle serving to ex plain the character and aim of a person at twenty years of age, and so on down until seventy years was reached, this be ing the limit of the series. It was a most interesting sermon, and the attention throughout was profound. Galleries and auditorium were packed with people. Coming toward the close of his sermon Mr. Wanamaker took up another long candle and began to try it in various candlesticks in the block on which the series was arranged. Every attempt was failure, as one candlestick would be too large, another too small, and so on, not one being the right size. This, he explained, was to il lustrate the character of men who were constantly thinking that if they were un der different circumstances or surrounded by different'associations they could do something. “If I had only been educated when I was young,” said one, “then I could do this or do that and be of some use.” “If I was only a good speaker,” said another, “I could be occupying such and such a position.” ' Ail this time the candle remained unlightcd in addition to tbe fact that it would not fit anywhere. No stronger illustration was needod as to the speaker's meaning. “Ifonly people would get rid of the idea that it was tbe fault of things around them that they were riot doing some good then they would be making the right beginning. No man, however humble, was incapable of doing good ifjie would only act out tbe good that was in him, and not spend the time saying that they were of no use in the world.”—Philadelphia Times.

Wise Words Well Spoken. We commend to our readers the follow ing from tha Nashville American, on the probable results of the present colored emigration; I>l - Thg exodus„Is -solving;a very grave iroblem in a very satisfactory way. The mmigration of thrifty, industrious white people, to take the place of those who are going to Kansas, is > affording .Tennessee an excellent excliange. The distribution of this race problem throughout the country is ainc&t desirable solution, for it leaves no problem to solve. With a very little more emigration, the negro wiil be lost in tbe great ocean of population, and , will be no longer a matter of any consequence. We did not seek that solution; tbe majority of the people of the South are opposed to it. But, whether they sought it oropposed it, nothing will stay the tide which is set ting so strongly toward thd North, for the benefit,' in the long run, of the negro and the South, whatever temporary injury it may do special industries. THE MAC0NITES IN THE WEST. How the Southern Visitors are Re ceived and Treated in the Queen City; , Cincinnati, O., March 19,1880. When this city was reached, as I wrote you in my last, at a little after 1 o’clock a. m., busses in abundance were drawn up at the depot. All were ridden free to the hotels. Cincinnati was overwhelmed with visitors. Our party took a morning ride of an hour and a Half seeking a place to lay our heads. Finally a place was reach ed where the economical sign of “lodg ings 15 cents, meals 15 ceuts,” stared the traveler in the face. Two of the party were apointed a committee to investigate. After an absence of two minutes tbe com mittee returned prepared to report. They, with due form and ceremony said that they had but partially discharged their duty as they had not fully investigated the cuisine of the establishment, but in their judgment the charge for lodgings under the existing circumstances was exhorbi- tant. Finally all were stowed away on cots, lounges and a very few in chairs Good fortune overtook us and we safely landed in the Gibson House, one of tbe the most elegant of Cincinnati’s elegant lioteis. After late breakfast the excursionists, with their fluttering budges of blue, be gan the tour of the city under the es- poinage of their Cincinnati friends. The remnants of one of the most gorgeous il luminations which had taken place the evening before were to be seen every where showing that the whole city bad given it self up to the festivities of tbe Lour, and everything beautiful in tbe way of fire works, bunting and Chinese lanterns had been employed to give brilliance to the auspicious occasion. At noon, the principal merchants of the Southern visitors met the Cincinnatians on change, and were received with." a speech from the President, Mr. Brown, A poem, written for the occasion by ReV.I J. H. Martin, of Atlanta, was read by Mr. Crane of the same city. 1 Governor Marks, of Tennessee, made a telling speech, alluding to the late war in a most felicitous manner, and bringing out the most tumultuous applause. Governor Colquitt followed in an effort which Was applauded to the echo for its conservative tone and warm appreciation, j In the afternoon a grand police and firemen’s parade was made tor the South erners.

Whether tbe death penalty prevents crime or not, there is one thing certain, it effectually prevents the hanged from ever committing crime again.

The hall itself id a wonder ofbeantiful archi tecture. It is, with the adjacent buildings, the property of the city, and was built at a cost of $350,000, of which amount $175,- 000 was contributed by Mr. David Linton, a retired'capitalist.' '' On tbe floors of the hall seventeen hun dred and seventy-six tickets were repre sented, anil five hundred and thirteen waiters ministered"' to the wants of the banqueters. So spacious are tbe propor tions of the hall, that notwithstanding nearly twenty-five liirifdred persons were on the floor, around forty immense tables, not a jostle occurred. The scene was oue which can never be forgotten. It was brilliant beyond comparison. Around the hall were ranged ten thousand flags of ail nations. The tables, the stage, every where fairly bloomed with flowers, while over all the strains of one of the most magnificent and stately organs, alternated by the Cincinnati Reed Band, flooded the hall with music such as has been heard but few times*by those assembled. The music was an especial feature. During tbe evening the band, situated in tbe bow of the balcony, struck up in response to an encore tbe familiar strains of “Dixie.” The effect was electric. A thousand nap kins waved in air, six thousand voices mingled in the cheers, while as one man the banqueters rose and cheered until it seemed thU echo would never die away. Just.waiting long enough for the applause to die away, the band followed up “Dixie” with the “Star Spangled Banner.” It was thought enthusiasm was at its height before, but now tbe applause and - cheers were re doubled, and shout after shout went up. All rose to their feet. Napkins floated in tbe air, the ladies who were looking down from above waved their handkerchiefs, men cheered until they were hoarse, many mounting to their chairs, gave way to the enthusiasm of the moment in repeated cheers, and the scene is one which pencil cannot paint or limner portray. To crown all the swelling strains of the grand or gan, located across the hall, took up the chords of the chorus with the hand, mak- it one of the grandest pcans ever heard in this country. The banquet was pronounced the most magnificent ever given in America. To show the completeness of the arrange ments, at the plate of each guest was the menu on satin and exquisite boutonnier. Speeches followed, Mayor Jacobs arid Governor Foster welcoming the guests. Following were responses to toasts by Hou. E. A. Furguson, Cincinnati, Hon. Luke P. Blackburn, Governor ofKentucky, Hon. A. S. Marks, Governorof Tennessee, Governor Colquitt, Hon. Leslie E. Brooks, of Alabama, M. E. Ingalls,* of Cincinnati, and Hon. H. Y. M. Miller, of Atlanta. The festivities lasted from eight o’clock until two in the morning. . Everything has been conducted on a most magnificent and regal style. The welcome has been heartfelt and grand. The South, or so much of it as is repre sented here, is captive, and Cincinnati, in Southern eyes, is now the Queen City in deed in enterprise, in beauty, in hospital ity, and, if the wishes of all here could be realized, will be queen also of success and prosperity she so justly merits. ’ THE ROAD. The grand and successful inauguration of the road gives bright promise of sue- cess in tbe future.. It is one of tbe most magnificent enterprises ever planned by modern engineering, and one of the grand est achievements in its completion of the age.: The-road pierces a section of country which has been regarded as impracticable for ilie building of a railroad, but through the heart of the hills, far above the water courses, along ledges of the everlasting rocks, over the crest of ridges, through glades of surpassing picturesquecess and romantic beauty, the iron steed now re joices in his startling career. The road is an illustration of the invincible enteiprise of this people. It is built by the city, eighteen million dollars having been sub scribed to tbe road. The road right of way and everything except the equipments are owned by the Cincinnati Southern Railway Company. The rolling stock is owned by a separate company, the Cin- cinnati Southern Railroad Company, and is valued at $300,000. The latter compa ny is guaranteed a dividend of seven per cent, on the investment of $300,000, and the surplus earnings go to the company owning the road. A bill is now pending in" the Ohio Leg islature for an appropriation of $300,060 for terminal improvements, and the prob abilities are that the bill will be passed. For an example of the princely expendi tures made by the road it may be men tioned that the Ohio river bridge, whose lofty proportions have been already noted, cost $2,000,000. It is one of the finest structures on the globe. And just here comes in one of the finest points of advan tage which the Cincinnati Southern lias over other competing lines in the way of freights. .The bridge is the property of the City, consequently of the road, and hence has nothing to pay for the privi lege of running cars across it. In St. Louis a charge, we understand, of about six dollars per car is made for tbe simple crossing of the river. This amounts up to a great deal in the course of the year, and has, of course, to be made' up in tbe sell ing price or lost to the buyer.. Maconites here are having a gorgeous time. They are especially well taken care of. Among the Georgians here are Govern or Colquitt and daughter; Captain J. H. Estill, Savannah; Hon. Samuel Barnett,. The Excursionists in the Queen City. Cincinnati, Omo, MaVch 20th, 1880. Editors Telegraph and Messenger:— The impression that Cincinnati is a great place has firmly been planted in tbe minds of tbe excursionists from the South. The longer they stay the deeper is the impres sion, and the hosts of Southerners never seem to tire in their ondeavors to make all things agreeable. The blue badges of tbe excursionists have been passports eve rywhere, and such generous hospitality has been enjoyed but seldom either in the frigid North or in the sunny South. Business here is simply immense. The wholesale jobbing trade overreaches the expectations of all, while the manufactur ing interests make the city one of the bus iest on the globe. A segis of prosperity in the Washington Correspondence "Washington City, March 20,1880. JANUARY AND MAT. It all came of an old man marrying a young maiden with auburn hair, liquid brown eyes, rosy, red-pouting lips, and a general air of demariSag to be loved like a bouse afire. January is old man Chris- tiancy, who beat Zach Chandler for Sena tor from Michigan and afterwards resign ed to take the Peruvian mission. He was of cloud of a dry old chap when I firet saw him in 1875-6, with never the ghost of ever hav ing been anything else apparent in his manner, personal appearance, walk or talk—the last man, in short, one would ever have suspected of a tendresse for tbe sweets above named. I boarded one win ter at tbe same hotel be patronized and his entrance at mealtimes with bis charm er—who was in deep mourning then— and it was truly edifying to mark her downcast eyes and timid demeanor as she tripped along by her ancient’s side and took her seat as close to him apDarently as she could get. She never raised her eyes from her plate, and seemed en tirely absorbed in the play of her knife .ii and fork, and seeing' that hubby’s wants perpetual were we u supplied.

Wife. In my father’s poultry yard, says a writer in Chambers’ Journal, was a game cock, tbe most beautiful bird of the kind I ever saw. He bad several wives, and it was a curious tiling to see tbe different airs and graces of tbe ladies in his train. He wa3 an inveterate fighter, it lie could escape from theyard, which was surround ed by a high wall. By some means, an accident had happened to liis foot, and he became lame. My brother, who was a medical student, advised us to poultice it. Mamma undertaking this, Ealpb came every morning to have liis foot dressed, and though evident ly suffering very much, allowed her to at tend t o it. But no improvement came, and the poor bird began to droop. One day we heard a loud noise; a famous ame-cock had come into the yard when the gate was left open, attacked Ralph, and had him beaten severely. He was injured, though he had defended himself well. Mamma picked him up and canted him away, but next morning lie was out in the yard, warming himself in tiie sun. I was very glad I was permitted to see what I then saw, or I could not have be lieved it. Ralph had been beaten I He was no longer to be honored by his faith less wires. They came first, one by one, and then altogether, looking with all the contempt they could display. One and another pecked at him, and at last the • prettiest and his favor ite, went straight up to him and gave him a severe dab near his eye. But there was one faithful friend among them, an awkward, bustling brown hen, with no pretensions to beauty, who flewto his rescue, stood resolutely before the prostrate bird—for he had sunk to the ground as if heartbroken—and sheltered Sim with her wings. It was useless to leave him in the poultry yard, so he and his faithful brown hen were placed in the garden, the tool-house being left open for them through ’ the night. Some weeks passed and Ralph grew weaker, till one morning we found him dead. A grave v?as dug and his faithful wife saw him placed in it. She was taken hack to the yard, but she never rallied; and a few days after we saw her lying cold and life less on the spot where the friend of her generous heart lay buried. rest of the disputed territory.

The first criminal case Mr. Webster was engaged in was when in the practice of the law at Boscawen. He was junior counseled the case was tried at Plymouth. At the examination of a witness, who was one of your moderate speaking, self-poiseu men, the impression was fixed upon the minds of the counsel that he had not tola all. Every approach the ingenuity of the counsel could make was made upoa him, still he was the same. Jeremiah Smith, of Exeter, was the presiding Judge, a man unequaled in his acuteness. He questioned the witness with similar success. As he was stepping down from the stand, Mr. Webster, giving the .witness one of his looks, said: “Nr. Witness!” ashed him one question, and drew from him the answer they had been so long after. Upon another occasion! while he resided at Portsmouth, a man from Newmarket was prosecuted and sum moned to appear before three Justices at a certain hour of the day. Webster in quired: “Before whom are you sum moned?” The man’ told him. ‘d will be there,” said Webster. Tbi* Justice-in-Chief was not of a savory reputation, which Webster knew. S® mounting his horse, he rode in a chill vember day to Newmarket. Entering the court room he found the Justices awaiting his arrival before a good fire. He stopped at the fire to warm himself, occasionally turning his eyes upon the oflensiveJustice. The justice rose, went out of the room and did not return, and as the law requir ed his client to be arraigned before three Justices, and there were but twe he secured his discharge, thus “looking justice off the bench.” No other remedy has proved so effec tual in relieving coughs and colds as Dr- Bull’s Cough Syrup.
