DaTianao Deaths.—A sad affair occurred
It the Eutport, Maine, gas work, on Tuesday,
ttapaira were to be mod >, and a young man
namad Iliram Ltwrenoo went Into the gasome
ter to 1st off tho water. The gar overoame him
ud ha fall from the ladder into the water. Hia
brother Edward went down to get him ont, and
ha too was suffocated and fell. Another broth
er, Jamas, tiod a rope around hia body and
vis lowered down, bnt ha had to be drawn up
Immediately. Ho was nearly dead when taken
ont, and now lies In a praoarlona oonditlon.
The others ware dead when taken ont, Edward
letvei a wife and four children. Hiram was
recently married.
Bow raa Lxw Adsii.nibtebs ax Estate.—A
case rivalling Jarcdyoe vs. Jarndyoe haa just
been beard in the Gbanoery Court of Kentucky.
Aboot two years ago a gentleman died and left
hia estate, worth three thousand dollars, fo his
two grandchildren. His debts amnnnl.d to
fifty-eight dollars. An administrator, with the
will annexed, waa appointed; by some means
tbe cue waa thrown into the oonrta, and attor
ney. being appointed, brought finally before
tbe cbanoellor on the commissioner's report, to
fettle tbe fees. Tbe attorney charged and waa
allowed thirteen hundred dollars. The admin
istrator, clerks and sheriff claimed the on tire
reitduo, leaving the children nothing. The
cbanoellor refused to oonflnn the report.
AcorsTX Fxmih Himinabt.—The commence
ment of this fashionable and excellent institu
tion, located at Stannton, Va., embraces the
16th and 17th of Jane. From the young ladies
we acknowledge the reoeption of an elegant
oarj of Invitation to be present. Tbs oonoerta
on each night preaent a most attractive pro
gramme of musical selections from the best
masters, and the performers will be sustained
by professional skill of the highest grade.
Among the yonng ladies who have prominent
parts, the name of Miss Eugenia B. Gann, of
Cnthbert, Ga., appears. The school of Miss
Bxldcin is deservedly considered one of the
most thorough and admirable in the Union;
sad nothing wonld afford na more pleasure
than to attend on this oooaslon were it possible.
Rpala and Cbaoa.
At Inst seconds from Madrid the military
forcoa of the opposing parties—the Federalists
and Conservatives—were respectively encamped
and awaiting the signal to “fall to.” The Lon
don and OonticenUl presses were yesterday in
momentary expectation of an attack. In the
Cortes all was confusion and paralysis. The
crisis deepened Lcnrly and became more immi
nent. No administration could be formed, and
in point of fact, though the Federal Bepcbli-
cana hold more than three-fourths of the seats
in that body, yet they are without any moral
strength. They represent bnt a small popular
minority and hold the majority in the Cortes
simply beeanse the Spanish people refused to
vote at the election on the 14th of last month
In sheer disgust. It seems that not twenty five
per oent. of theeleotors in Madrid voted on that
occasion, and in the provincial districts the pro
portion of voters was still lees. Thus tbe Cortes,'
oonscion. that an overwhelming and unfriendly
majority of the people are watching ontaide for
the beet and speediest opportunity to extin
guish their Federal Kcpubllc—cannot find in
their ranks a ministry bold enough to pnt
themselves In tbe breach, and undertake tbe
work of carrying on the government; and this
timidity and v*valuation at headquarters de
moralises tbe entire column.
Nonnd Ibe Jubilee.
Chicago jubileed unanimously tbe whole of
the latter part of last week, over her own Fhee-
nlx.like uprising from tho ashes of the great
conflagration set on foot by the pranks of Mrs.
O’Leary’s cow. Gilmore was there from Bos
ton, with 300 musicians and any number of
drama, sledges and anivals. When he arrived
at Chicago he drew on the city at sight for one
thousand vocalists—Ie&ther-Innged—persistent
—irrepressible.
This grand oorps of sound be arrayed on
benches in the depot of the Michigan Southern
and Bock Island railroad—a structnre COO feet
long and 200 wide, and then let in forty thou
sand people at so mneh ahead. When all were
ready, Gilmore opened on them in great hurri
cane blasts c( ear-splitting reaonsooe. The mu
sicians blew—the drummers beat—the anvils
rang—the vocalists roared—the people hollered,
stamped and cheered, until every body was deaf,
sore, red faced, hoarse and supremely happy.
Now they have had the holler ont, they feel
better—they are satisfied—which they wouldn't
have been without tbe fuss. We don’t blame
them—by any means. They are right to rejoioe
over miseries and trials endnred and surmount
ed and looses repaired or in a fair way to be re
paired. A great city bnrned down in a night
and a greater city bnilt up in abont eighteen
months. They have a right to holler, and we
say: Let ’em boiler, and we oonld have helped
them if we had beon there.
How “Gnxxsiucx” Pxna is Made.—All the
paper for the money issned by the Government
ti manufactured on a aixty-two-inch Fonrdrinier
machine, at the Glen Mills, near West Chester,
Pennsylvania. Short pieoes of rad silk are
mixed with the pnlp in tbe engine, and tbe fin
ished stuff ia oonduoted to the wire without
parsing through the soreens, which might re
tain the allk threads. By an arrangement
above tbe wire cloth, a shower of fine bine silk
thread ia dropped In streaks upon the paper
while it ia forming. The upper side, on whleh
the blue silk is dropped, ia the one need for the
faoe of the notes, and from the manner lrrwhioh
ths threads are applied, must show them more
distinctly than the lower or reverse side, al
though they are embedded deeply enough to
remain fixed. The mill is guarded by officer*
night and day, to prevent the abstraction of
any psper.
Mb. Jimssox Davis is said to be writing a
history of the war. Such a woik from such a
man wonld bo valuable. Ha Is reported as say
ing that be feared the oounlry waa beyond “tbe
redeeming affioaey of moral worth or elevated
Intelligence,” and the memories of the Credit
Uohiller and Vienna scandals give a painful
point to the observation. Aa this demoralisa
tion haa been entirely brought abont by the
party that has controlled the Government since
the war, it is well that the most capable and
cunning hand is to write a history of the pivotal
period where the decade of virtue and honesty
ended and the doeade of corruption and dis
honor commenced. If Mr. Davis will prepare
his work with skill and judgment, as well as
with the ability which all acknowledge he poe-
»esses, he may walk down to posterity with it
in hia hand.— Courier Journal.
Bailboadb and Jroars.—There Is s terrible
outcry, says the Cincinnati Commercial, be
cause the farmers of Illinois, who are fighting
the railroads, made a stand and elected their
candidate in a judicial election. Well, the
railroads have been looking after judicial elec
tions for a long Ume. A great number of
judges on Ibe bench are owned by railroads.
Hundreds of others are running np and down
the country on free passes given them with the
purely buxines* purpose of affecting their dw
ell i or. I favorably to railroad interests. Why
should not tbe farmers own s few judges?
There it not a railroad man of large intelligence
in the oonntry who does not know that the
great corporations have their representatives in
the lowest and highest espouses, and as keen
fin eye on the eleotion of jndges aa on that of
membera of Congress; and it ia popular know!
edge thaA the Supreme Court of the United
States was, in the opinion of the Chief Justioe
himself, packed in a railroad interest.
Tex Stokes Case.—When Stokes was In
formed of the decision of the Court of Appeals,
grautisg him a new trial, ho expressed himself
pleased, bnt added qniekly and somewhat sadly
that the report might possibly be entree, and
the disappointment would be all the greater if
such pro Tod to be the ease. Hi, oonnaaL Mr.
Do. iWa. relatives sndMsnds soonarrivsd
rt the tomb*, sod there was a good deal of re-
toioing among those Interested at the firorsMs
ttodeion of the appellate ooort.
Tricks of the Kellogg Government.
It was given ont by tbe Kellogg party in Lou
isians, (says tho Naw York Tribune) that ths
January and February Interest on the State
bonds wonld be paid speedily. In fact, official
notice that snob payment would be made last
Monday was published, but an iujunotiou in
terposed to prevent the money being disbursed
to the bondholders. Then it was explained that
the oaah waa aotually on hand, and would be
forthcoming as soon as oertaln legal formalities
ware concluded. But there seems to be some
doubt as to the honest intentions of the exist
ing State Government in making these several
announcements. Dispatches to the Tribnne
from New Orleans say that appearanoes indicate
that the Injunction was proonred and Instigated
by Gov. Xellogg and his friends in order to
keep tbe word of promise io the ear bnt break
U to u>* hope It is easy now to say that the
money is ready—bnt tied up lay an injunction.
If Gov. Kellogg haa been party to snob a trick,
it is probably for the purpose of conoealing tbe
barrenness of tbe State Treasury, not with any
intention of diverting fnnds to unlawful usee.
Just now, the salvation of the Kellogg Govern
ment veiy mnoh depends on its ability to re
store the prostrate public oredit.
Kev. Dr. H. H. Tucker.
This distinguished Georgia divine bas been
invited to anpply tbe Fifth Avenue Baptist
Church, New York, daring the abseneo in Eu
rope of its pastor, Bev. Thomas Armitage, D.D.
It may be regarded as a favorable symptom
of the times that no less than six eminent
Southern clergymen have been invited to fill,
either temporarily or permanently, the various
pulpits of New York oily.
This would argue that ths people are tiring
of sensational presetting, and seeking to rotorn
to the slnoere milk of the Wold. In this lati
tude, with all our faults, ths pulpit has retained
its purity, and the Gospel is dispensed in the
apostolio spirit of the early church.
Long may it be, ere polities or other ontside
issues shall invade its stored precincts.
Cholera In NashTlIIew
The Nashville Union reports the interments
on Tuesday from cholera at eight whites and
eleven negroes—nineteen—and the same num
ber ia reported by tbe Atlanta Constitution on
'Wednesday. The oonrts in Nashville adjourned
on Tuesday to September next.
The Union reports cholera in Hickman, Ken
tucky. Tbe same paper reports tho death in
Nashville of a well known colored hack driver,
who was taken siok on Monday night while
attending a funeral and died next day.
A lew Party In Lonlslana.
The New Orleans Herald of Monday after
noon aayi:
The New Paste.—The formation of the new
party is progressing satisfactorily to those who
have taken the matter in hand, colored and
white. At a meeting of the committees from
eaoh raoe, held last Saturday evening, resolu
tions were passed increasing tbe oommittees to
fifty eaoh. We learn that there were quite a
cumber of leading man preaent, and that the
utmost good feeling and harmony prevailed.
Another meeting will be held at an early day, and
If icings progress aa rapidly as the preaent states
wonld seem to render probable, a convention
will have to be held soon.
We know nothing of the parties who ere mov
ing in this matter, nor what policy they are
seeking to establish; but certainly all honest
man will join ns in the hope that the new party
may “get away” with (he Kellogg thieves and
usurpers, if it does nothing else.
Bebxtoa Gbass.—Captain George W. Gift,
of Memphis, Tennessee, writes fo the “ South
ern Cultivator”:
I beg permission te shake hands with your
correspondent who wrote in the May number
about Bermuda grasp. Doubtless be will earn
tbe aneerj of moat of the “practical” men of
tbe oountry, yet nevertheless, he is right
You hear that a steady stream of immigrants
poors into Texas from those States east of tbe
Mississippi river. These people are in searoh
of good pasture—cheap meat is the attraction.
Plant tbe millions of acres of worthless land
on this side of the river in Bermuda grass, and
we have .Texas without traveling 1 Bermuda

walks than the foot-hills of California.

Preaching and Progress.
KdiioTi Telegraph and Messenger : We have
read tbe strictures of your “Traveling Correa
pondent” on our article. “Nonsense,” eh!
Brother Traveler, more in a lack of perception of
the sensible, than a failure to express it. “Non
tense,” say yon? Hndibnu to the rescue—
“ A little nonsense now and then
Ia relished by the wliraf men ”
In an humble way we attempt to save this be-
pr.acted people—exhausted, windless from the
ardent pursuits of life to shelter them from the
oratorical encroachments cf the pulpit ; and
yon straight way tom ns over to the uncharita
ble gossips of this central city as a “CremteeS-
ian ritualist/” “Is thy seriant a dog,” to be
killed with such a name ?
Done too by one of FalstsfTs “men in buck
ram.” We have often thought that when Cer
berus embarked in tbe mjthcl'gictl shades of
old, it must have been exceedingly difficult for
the shivering Pilgrim Ghosts, that saluted, to
tell which bead of that olassio animal wai
making the noise. We oonfess that the tri-eepf.
alous oondition of your paper is a still more
oomplete system of publio mystification.
There’s no getting at head quarters of anything.
Everything dine on share*. “Jfy share,” says
the “Traveling Correspondent,” snd tastily he
defends it. Well, it's natnral—only we were
misled by the piety of that article. We humbly
apologize to the “Traveling Correspondent” for
the mistake.
And also to the other learned professions of
lair and medicine referred to, we meant no par.
ticulor harm. ( The “Traveling Correspondent"
say* they are not in danger—his oonrage fails
him:)-Only we thought that aa these.three
learned professions came down from antiquity
together, seme thousands of years before news,
papers—that together they should be judged,
regulated and reformed by thia new Daniel,
“tbe Frees.” We rashly attempted to open this
new field for editorial enterprise, and
“Grievously hitb Caesar answered It.”
On the snbjeot of rashness, does not tho
“Traveliug Correspondent" quote Scripture very
rashly 7 He reminds us, that we are not (Phar
isee that we are !) to be “ heard for our mnoh
speaking!" Does that quotation refer to
preaching or praying? Lrt him search and
see. No,-indeed! that's the difficulty which
renders tbe Bible inch unsuitable authority for
our times! There’s not a single word in it
against long Bermons! bat- ten thousand texts
in favor of laying it on strong. “ Preach, cry
aloud—spare not.” Why Paul onoo killed a man
by long preaching, bnt (Cromwellian fanatio
that he was!) he teent on preaching /
Well 1 it is a great oomfort to know that all
things will come right in the “ evolutions of
“Pboobess.”
We shall not unmask, snd thereby render
harmless the battery of our olever correspond
ent “Progress,” albeit it might leave him like
a reed “shivering in the wind.” On tbe con
trary, let him bring Into position again his fa
vorite author Hndibras, snd spout ‘’nonsense’’
to bis heart's content.' And let him also con
centrate his fire, and welcome, upon ths devoted
bead of the “Traveling Correspondent” of the
Tzlzobaph and Messzkoeb. His armor is
proof against such missives, though he hopes
to be spared the lufiiotlou of suoh a dead shot
in the way of argument, as that whleh slew
Paal's hearer. But unlearned as we profess to
be in biblioal lore, In our simplicity we had
thought that it was the fall that killed the poor
riaspar.
We beg leave, also, to demur to the other
charge of styling ''Progress” a “Cromwellian
ritualist.” The two characters are as far assun-
der as the poles. The followers of old “Noll’’
were of the snivelling, canting sort, whose ser
mons, like the endless chain of a pump, went
on continually, belching up brimstone and fire
for sinners, or expounding world without end,
the mysteries snd aohool master practice of the
“law.” The ritualist, on the contrary, oonflnes
himself to the narrowest margin of original
talk, and leaves the “book” to do the work bod
ily. Now we don't think the worthy followers of
either of these classes should be called “dogs,”
though it waa only suspicion that our friend
Progress belongs perhaps to one of them.
As regards the “tri-oephalous oonditlon of
your (our) paper," in this instanoe at least, the
“Traveling Correspondent” has oonsented to be
made tbe scape goat of tho whole oonoern, and
says “lay on Macdcff,” tto.
In respeot to hts “rashness” as a qaoter of
scripture in the remark of our not being heard
for our “mnoh speaking,” we admit that a striot
construction of thn passages referred to, would
indioate that prayer was meant. But prayer is
ths quientesieuoe snd marrow of the gospel;
and by the fairest analogy, if long prayers are
not specially efficaoious, neither are long winded
dissourses any more so.
But the same Paul says, “Yet in the Ohuroh
I had rather speak five words with my under-
•standing, that by my voioe I might teach oth
ers also, than ten thousand words in an unknown
tongue ” But Brother Progress wilt say thia
refers to talking in a foreign language. Per
haps so. Bnt ws leave it to divines, churchmen,
and even moralists to say, whether the libidi
nous writings of Hndibras arc not practically
as far removed from tho parity and genius of
the bible as though they were traoed in san-
sorit or Egyptian hieroglyphioa ? But still, in
charity wo are willing to give Progress who
seems to be a man of “itfiaite jest,” the right to
write and say fanny things, and have therefore
allowed him to repeat his fire from the secure
oovert of his bomb-proof, assured at least that
•nobody will be hart.”

We find—and direct the attention of tho
County School Commissioners of the State to—
tbe following oommnnioation pnblished in tho
Atlanta Son of yesterday:
Uipabment or Education, >
Atlanta, Ga., Jons 10,1873.)
After consultation with his Exoellency, the
Governor, I hereby call a convention of tho
Oonnty School Commissioners of this State, to
be held In this city on tbe 25tb and 2Glh days of
this month. Tbe objects of the convention are
to awaken interest in the publio sohools, to
promote uniformity in the practical workings of
the system, to secure a better understanding of
Us details, and to gain fuller information as to
the status of school affairs throughout tbe en
tire State. Throngh the kindness of the oiti-
zens of Atlanta, arrangements have already
been made for entertaining one hundred of the
members free of charge, and I feel safe in say.
ing, from efforts which I am now making, that
I aball succeed in providing for the remaining
forty in the same way. The following railroads
have shown their poblio spirit by granting a
free return to all members who pay foil fare In
ooming, viz: The 'Western snd Atlantic, the
Atlantic and Bichmond Air Line, the Oen-ral
and its connections, including the Macon and
Western and the Southwestern and Us branches,
the Georgia, the Borne, the Cherokee, the At
lantic snd Golf, tbe Maoon snd Brunswick and
the Atlanta snd West Point. In ordjr to relieve
the members, as nearly as possible, from all ex
pense, I hereby instruct the several county
boards of education to oonsider the three or
four days spent in the convention, and in com
ing and retaining, as days devoted to official
dnty, allowing the commissioners the usual per
diem; inasmneh as I feel assured that this time,
wisely spent, will result in more solid good than
the same number of days occupied with any of
tbe regular labors. The chief executive officers
of systems in cities snd counties, established
under special laws, are also invited to attend.
Members, on ooming into thecity, will be met
at the trains asd shown to their homes by my
self snd assistants. That they may be identi
fied, I request them to wear each a red ribbon
lied in the lappet of his coat. Myself and as
sistants will wear bins ribbons, tiod in the same
manner. Let all coma, that we may oonsnit
about the great interests which we represent
All tho papera of the State are requested to

Honor to a Promising Yonng SonUi
went Georgian.
The Athens Watchman of the 11th inat. bn
rhi* announcement:
“Tho Phi Kappa Booiety (of the University
of Georgia) at the last meeting voted ths best
debater's medal to Mr. Idas L. Fielder,'of Outh-
bert, Georgia. Mr. Fielder was elected by a
majority of forty-ooo votes. This is the largest
majority polled in the Phi Kappa Soeiety since
the war, and perhaps tbe largest ever polled.”
We know young Fielder well, and feel sure
the honor »~t time-honored reputation of the
Society he represents will be safe in his keep
ing. The orator elect it the son at Col- Herbert
Fielder, snd a worthy chip of the “old block."
Society honors are usually even more sought
after snd esteemed than sqftolarahip merits.
The junior medalists are W. H. Fleming and a
H. Cohen.
The English language is spoken by 90,000,-

THE GEORGIA PRESS.
The marriage of Dr. G. L. Bed wine, tbe well-
known Atlanta druggist, snd Mrs. Elizabeth
Buford, of Cjlombos, is the latest item cf so
ciety news in the Utter city.
Intebestino Decision.—The Gotambus Sun
says Jndge Johnson decided, on Monday, that
Mr. John King was not in contempt for refu
sing to pay into that Court $5,125 which he had
obtained as receiver. Tbe judge ruled that tbe
parties who trusted King with this money loaned
it to him to use at 7 per oent. and became his
general creditors. He received it aa a loan,
and haa lost it, and as he pleads inability as a
reason far not paying the money he has fully
answered the order, and being guilty of no oon-
tempt must be discharged.
The directors of the Georgia railroad have
decUred a semi-annual dividend of 4 per cent,
payable on and after July 15lh.
The Columbus Enquirer preaches what it
oalls a “lay sermon” in its issue of Wednesday
afternoon, of which the following is a sample.
Snch utterance* are now to Southern newspa
pers, and we mnst say, we hope they will con
tinue to be. We are old fashioned enough to
think that a minister's whole duty is summed
op in the injunction : French Christ and Him
crucified. If there is any warrant in that com
mand for the discussion in the pnlpit of the
press, schools, workshops, factories, iron mines,
the telegraph, steam, politics and any and every
subject within the range of modem thought,
oonfess our inability to see it. The North
ern pulpit bas been discussing all these things
instead of the truths of tho Bible, and with
what result, we are willing that the editor of
the Enquirer should testify. He says:
The clergy of to-day are the world’s workers,
snd in proportion to their knowledge of the
world sad men is their power for good. They
ire the teachers who point ont tbe harmony of
creation, and who do not think it desecration to
discuss in God’s house those subjects that so
deeply interest and affect God’s people. Let
tbe ministers speak more abont the press, and
bring their moral oounsel to ieflurnce our al
ways hasty work. We speak each day in the
week; let them see that our speaking be truth
ful,'liberal and charitable. Let our schools,
our factories, our workshops, and every inter-
eat be discussed in tbe ohuroh, and men taught
that religion has a living interest in everything
that interests man. Nay, more, let the sacred
hand of religion be plsoed on the polluted
body of polities, that it may be made clean, for
ia not oivil liberty tbe twin sister of religion ?
Make the church a plaoe to teach and not a
place to preach—a plaoe where we ean learn to
reconcile with Divine Truth the mighty changes
that are taking place around ns.

The following resolution was nnan-mously
adopted by tbe Atlanta Board of Fire Under,
writers, Jane 10:b, 1873:
“Besolved, That the members of the Atlanta
Board of Fire Underwriters are hereby pledged
that no polioy written by them after this date

polioy was written, unless the premium therefor

tTimn Times in Nobthzast Geoboia.—It is
reported that the sheriff eleoted in Kabnn coun
ty last winter gave a bond which tbe Judge of
the Circuit considered insufficient under the
present law in this, that tbe principal and sure
ties were not worth the amonntofthebondover
and above the homestead. The clerk of the
Superior Court has written the Governor upon
the snbjeot, and *»>« that cnch a bond as tho law
now requires cannot be given in Babun county.
This faot shows two things: that the people in
Northeast Georgia are still poor, and that the
law as to sheriff*’ bonds requires amendment.

Ah adjourned term of Hancock Superior
Court was held last Monday, but the farmers of
the oonnty being badly “in the grass,” petition
ed for another adjournment; so after making
a fiateo on an assault with intent to mnrder case,
the Judge discharged the jury and cdj mined
the oourt again. Cost—about $500.
Ths Lawnnceville Herald says the grass
orop of that oonnty is “ luxuriant, and promis
es an abundant yield. We have seen some fields
where the stand was remarkably fine, if the
owner would just chop out the cotton stalks,
which interfere somewhat with it. It is a mis
take that thia is not a grass country, and guano
improves it Tery much.”

A Steanqe Occubbexcx—An Intubiatzd
Swabm or Bees Afteb a Child.—Mr. Tyler
Brand, who lives near Logansville, has a large
number of “bee stands” in his orchard, near
his reaidenoe. One day last week, his children
were playing near the hives. It is supposed
that they oommenoed fighting the bees, and the
bees oommenoed stinging the children. They
immediately ran off, leaving the youngest, a
child about two years old. The cries of the
child attracted the attention of its mother, who
mas at tbe honae sick. She immediately run to
its relief. By the time she got there the bees
were thoroughly in f uriated, and the whole swarm
was pouring ont of the gum, until nearly every
bee bad left it She seized the child and run to
the house, the bees following her and the child.
When she arrived at the house, being very feeble,
fainted; and a neighbor, who happened to be on
a visit there, fearing that the ohild wonld be
slung to death, picked it up and Etarled
towards the woods. The beee seemed deter
mined not to let the child escape, and followed
her, stinging her so severely that she had to
drop the child; when the bees oovered it, con
tinuing to sting. By this time Mr. Brand, who
was working in m field near by, heard the cries
of tbe children and oame to their relief. He
found the bees still hovering abont the child;
and our informant Btates had to rub them off
with hia hands. He then took the child to the
house and went to work to relieve its intense
(offering. He pulled out a large number of the
stings snd washed it with brandy. It had been
stung all over the faoe and head, and even in its
month snd under its tongue. With the kindly
assistance of some of the neighbors, who came
over as soon as they heard of it, the sufferings
of ths child and its mother were considerably
relieved; and both of them will get over it
without any serious consequences.

Tbe President at Long Branch,
The World's correspondent at Long Branch
writes as follows:
Having arrived just before dusk and in the
midst of a terrific storm yesterday, the Presi
dent remained qnietly at his cottage until this
morning, when he conld not withstand the
temptation to take a drive down the avenne
any longer. His light pair of brown mares
were harnessed to an open baggy at abont nine
o’clock, and soon tbe President was giving
them a goed airing, having for his companion a
little boy, probably one of General Porter's.
The President was dressed as nsual in his plain
suit of blaek, with Bilk hat and gloves. As he
passed the hotels and cottages he bowed slight-
y to seme of his acquaintances, saluted others
by touobing his hat, and occasionally uncover
ed bis bead id honor of the ladies. S.metimes
be loosened the ribbons for a moment, letting
them fall on tbe baoks of bis steeds, whloh was
the signal lor a apart. On such occasions the
blooded nags showed very good time. The
President’s regular oarriage-borses are a solid
pair of dark bays. There is no style in them,
and they are poorly matched, one being at least
half a hand higher than the other. The co&oh-
manis a very black African, who is not liveried.
There are a good many dogs at Long Branch—
two or three for eaoh family; bnt for some
Strangs causo there are never so many dogs to
be seen in the street as when President Grant
ia passtag by. If his carriago stops for a mo-
ment it is immediately surrounded by dogs of
every breed and persuasion. At one to-day I
saw no less than seven dogs all following his
carriage at ccce. It must be that some magnet
ic influence lured them on, for no more than
three dogs aro oyer seen following anybody
else.
Drying Frail.
A wonderful fruit-drying apparatus is now
operating in the North, working a oomplete
revolntion in that line. We oaght to have it
here, for in the lower Southern States thousands
upon thousands of bushels of fruit will go to
waste this year for want of a convenient mar
ket. The new apparatus is somewhat expen
sive—too much so for aperson who grows fruit
on a small soale, but the “Farmer and Garden
er” thinks money conld be made by enterpris
ing companies who wonld form and pnt onenp
in each neighborhood where fruits and vegeta
bles conld cr might be had for drying on a large
scale. Onoe the oonoern was nnder way, ore-
ating a good market for prodnots, the people
wonld exert themselves, and there "wonld be no
trouble about supplies. The editor does not
look far to find an example. Six years ago
watermelons were grown in the neighborhood
of Augusta for consumption in the oity, andfor
a limited exportation to other places. Now the
area planted in watermelons for shipment to
the New York market hag assumed snch vast
proportions that (be watermelon orop of Bioh-
mond county, Georgia, is of more valne than
all the other frnit crops combined. The oanse
of this innovation is dne to the faot that a good
market and ready sale has been secured.
We wonld like to see a fruit-drying establish
ment pnt n P in this section; if properly man
aged, it wonld pay the originator well, and give
a great impetus to fruit-growing.
We give extracts from the disenssious of the
Illinois State Horticultural Society, which may
prove of interest to onr readers. These are
copied from a recent number of the Prairie
Farmer:
Hon. S. A. E. Holcomb, of South Pass, ex
plained the Alden process, and added: “Onr
experience with apples is, that we make six
pounds of dried apples to the bushel. Ws have
dried a few peaches and pears the post season,
and abont 8000 bnshels of apples, not over 50
of which were fit to go to market. It eoet $2000
to prepare them, the work being mostly done
by persons who wonld otherwise have been idle
or done little. The fruit oosts ns 12} oents per
ponnd, pnt in barrels. We mnat sell at 20 cents
to make it a paying investment. At that priee,
however, it is twice as cheap as ordinary dried
frnit.’'
Schnyler (Cook Go.) exhibited samples of
tbe Antnmn Swarr, dried, that appeared very
white; also of pumpkin, Hnbbard sqnash,
peaches and quinces. At Nites, Miobigan, be
stated, we can prepare apples bought at 40 cents
per buahel for a cost of 10 cents per pound. We
do not pnt them on the market before Janaary.
Tbe frnit is much liked. A man at Denver
bought two barrels on trial and then ordered
100. Ho ean Bell them at 40 cents per pound.
A pie bakery of Chicago tried them and found
that pies made from them conld not be distin
guished from green apple pies. Tbe prioe aeema
high at 20 oents, bat compared with apples in
barrels it is low. We have ten factories nnder
the Alden patent in the West, two of which we
own exolnsively, and eight of which we own a
half interest in. There is one at Anna, and
another at Sonth Pass, Union oonnty, on* at
Pan a, Christian county, and one at Fowler,
Adams oonnty, Illinois. We have ready a 91,-
000 machine that will dry 50 bnshels a day. The
larger ones dry from 100 to 150. We can nae
bruised apples. All of the frnit can be used.—

DIAMOND SPECTACLES*
HEBE Spectacles are manufactured from “Min-
_ ute Crystal Pebbles” melted together, and are
called Diamond on .account of their liardneee and
brilliancy. It is well known that spectaolee oat
from Brazilian or Scotch pebbles are very injurious
to the eye, because of their polarizing light.
Having been tested with the polarisoope, the
diamond lenses have been found to admit fifteen
per cent, less heated rays than any other pebble.
They aro ground with great scientific accuracy,
arc free from chromatic aberrations, and prodaoe
a brightness and distiuotnesa of vision not before
attained in spectacles.
Manufactured by tho Spencer Optioal Manufac
