It cannot be denied that ranch work U still seed! d upon tbo ■ reeta and tboronghfaree of the eity, bat e neat deal baa been done, and utU doae, end the preaent yntr bee been eingnlarly probile nf atorma end ll'rOla whieb, where tbe grtd'Dg ie eo defeetlre, mnet leave their trace* behind. Macon ia built upon a succession of biila, some of them ateep and almoet precipi tous, and tbe coil ia of a porona, yielding nature which resdtlf dieintegraiee and waabea away. Anything lihe a baaty and anpei filial aklmraing over tbe rnifece merely to repair break,, and fill op bolae, by ordinary road hands, can only re lieve Ibe dlfflznity temporarily, aa tbe first heavy downfall of rain again displace! the loose earth, cod tbe wotk ranat be repeated. Tbe only effeotnal remedy Ie to ent down and re face ee far aa practicable the grade of the hills, end Interoept the anrfaoe water by a prop. tr system of drain* and aewerage. This Mr. Oeitin, tbe oontraotor, bee been essaying to do, beginning with tboae street, which are the greatest thoroughfare, of tbo city. His Idea, and we believe it to be the correct one, is to fix ptrmnnrntly, or as nesrly eo as possible, each Important street, and in the meantime pnt oeca- tlonal and temporary repair! elsewhere when needed. This he bss faithfully endeavored to do, and any one acquainted with Mulberry ■tract, the vicinity of the Southwestern Kail road depot, and Ibe main dray route (o tbe business portions of the city, will admit that the !m provement is both dorabie and efficient. Mention has already been mrdeof the work on the oemetery highway, and the opening of the new street which famishes a direet approach to Wo Jeyan Female Oollrge, by penetrating and reducing tbe almost preeipitons bluff directly la front of ibe seminary. Mr. Gnetin baa other important Improvements in view, bat of ooarae witbthe limited force et his oommand, theao will reqalrt some time for completion. It sbonld be remembered, however, that In fntnre, bnt comparatively little work will keep In good re pair those thoroughfares which have chiefly oo- oapied hla attention, ao that more time oan be devoted to other puls of tbe eity. Trable the means employed, however, conld not In e single year repair tbe sidewalks, fill up the gnlllen, and grade the immensely wide streets, which are tbe most striking featnro of Macon. Property bolder,, if they have not pride anlfloient to do it themselves, as In North ern citlea, ahoald be required to pave, or at least keep in good order the sidewalks adjaoent to ibeir iota. This wonld be a great relief to Ibe pnblie pane. We have beard it stated also that the drains and sewers of the eity sbonld ran transversely, or at right angles to the river, instead of almoet parallel for moat of Ibeir length with I he stream. This ia a question to be derided by oompetent engineers only, bnt a somewhat cursory anrvey of the etreeta, inclines ns to entertain a similar belief. Tbe drain pipes, too, sbonld be of increased diameter to prevent eboking or bursting after very heavy rains. The whole question of street work and drain age, la one of exceeding difficulty to (he author ities, end et best art can never hope Wbiore than approximate to tbe level thoroughfares and paved aidewelke of Savannah, and other cities, difierontiy situated as to location, and the manner In wbloh they were originally laid oat. Tet with all these disadvantages, who wonld curtail themagoifloent proportions of onr beau tiful streets and boulevards, or exchange tboae lovely views and ooramanding locations, many of them already crowned with palatial atrno- tnrea, for the tamer if more convenient sites of other oltlcaf Let ns then be consent for Ibe preaent wlfb our rongh streets, whoso width at least affords abundant ventilation, and ara a anre protection against extended conflagrations, and gradually grade, pave and drain, as the means and oppor tunity are afforded. Wo are satisfied Mr. Goa- tin ia doing all in h!a power to fulfill his con tract, and time will prove that the present is the beat plan ever yet adopted for the perma nent improvement of the sidewalks and tho roughfares of the eity. ■\r^\ Ex-GoV ieuklaaon th* munition. - The graceful and appropriate recognition by the Legislature of the oourageor.s fidelity of ex Gov. Jer.kin* to the people aud to popular liberty, when both were trampled under feet by the Federal Government, has been acknowi- rdged by the ex Governor in a correspondence which we reprint to-day. Hla letter takes an encouraging view of the fntnre. Ho does not believe that liberty and its conalitntional guarantees are forever lost and gone in the United Slates, because they have been rudely violated and trampled down. Nor do we. Oar mother oountry, to whom we owe all tbe great mnniment* of elvil liberty, saw herself two hundred year, ago, stripped of every one of them by the sword in civil war, and yet she won them all back in a few year, without firing a gun, by the triumphs of peaoe. War, with bnt few exceptions, has ever proved tbe bene of civil liberty. It buries the rights of the people, as well as their bodies, property, happiness sod virtue nnder a surging tide of blood, violence, disorder and destruction. It substitutes hatred end the iron hand for the arbitrament of heaven-born joatioe and benev- olenoe, and straggles for mere personal deliv erance, for tboae gedlike aspirations for Im provement and progress, which ue the inspira tion of peaoe. Bnt there i, a wise practical suggestion in tbe Governor’s letter which merits particolar notloe. We refer to that one In whloh be says the eon* stitntion and the connlry should never be con- founded with the temporary administration of the government. The oonstitntion, laws. Insti tutions and ensigns of this mighty oountry are still left to as, substantially unchanged, and aa susceptible of glorious and benofloent results io the fntnre as they have confessedly been in the past. They sre and mast be ours in the fntnre as they have been in the past; and it sbonld therefore be a matter of principle on tho part of tbe press, in ail their denunciations of the tyranny and injustios with whieb these instru ments snd ensigns have been or may be wielded, to exoite no popnlar prejudice or disgust with the things themselves. The latter may be, and they will be, hereafter, the signs and symbols of jnst and good government, ae tbey have been heretofore. Let the effort rather be to remed ies te tbe oonsUtntlon and the flag of the oonntry to the same great endt of jnstloe, pesos and beneficence to which onr fathers of glorious memory onoe consecrated and bore them aloft In trials and triumphs, which make up the brighter record of tho Government. A Model Banking Home. The new and elegant building of the City Bank of Maoon, whieb for several months past has been rooeiving Its finishing tonobes, Is now complete in every partlonlar, and Is at onoe a credit to its projectors snd an ornament to tbe eity. It ia not too mnoh to assert that for con- vaolenoe, style and strength, its equal cannot be found In the State. Tbe banking apartment ia an airy, symmetri cal chamber,!routing on Third street, with com modious window, and large plate glass lights, protected by a neat Iron railing on the ontsfde, about rix feet in height Within, entering by the front door, a spaoious hall or passage way divides off tho banking-room and oommnni- catea with the suite of apartments in the rear, oomprising a convenient bnsinoai offlea, direc tors’ obamber, water and washing closets, snd last bnt not least the massive vault whose wells of imooenae thickness sre wholly do- taohed, ,o that no burglar’s implement from without can even reach them. This eavemons receptacle is entered by a heavy iron door with lntrtoato fastenings, snd the interior Is Urge enough to oontain shelves for ledgers and boxes on deposit besides being famished with an immense Herring’s safe, in which the bullion snd enrrenoy of tho bank are kept. Tbe front age of the ooantere of the cashier and teller Is ornamented glass-work, very stylish and ele gant and at the bottom of the window of each of these cffieiols a broad and thick plate of glass forms a abelf npon whiob bills, cheoks, eto., may be Uid and money counted. These give quite a finish to the same. Tbe entire furniture of the bank snd every apartment, including decks, chairs, tables, so- fas, etc., eras made to order of solid walnut, highly polished mid elaborately carved. The inside Venetian shutter, of the window, are also of the same handsome material, snd the mantel- piece* of variegated black marble, very tasty and beantifnl. Two elegant gas chandeliers are also pendant from the ceiling, and the di rectors’ mom is covered with a rich Brussels carpet, and prieenis a very attractive and ooiy appearance. Indeed, as renfsrked In the out set, the whole building and its appnrtenanoes are models of convenience and eminently worthy of the opulent owners and manager, of the bank. In another column will be found the card giving tbe name, of the officers and director* Of this institution, and the amount of its oap- ltal stock. Liroi numbers of ponies are shipped from Ioeland to different ports in Bootland every year. The first importation of inch live stock this season—a lot of 320 ponies brought on a tingle steamer—was landed at Granton two or three weeks since. The importers leave the tsrniea as late aa possible In the summer on their native pasture* to reoeive the benefit of the young grass. In this way they are shipped when in good condition and are better able to stand the long a>* voyage. A great many more of these ponies are to U sent to Scotland later In the summer. Ms. A. T. Stiwist sailed in the Scotia last Wednesday for a two month*’ aojonrn in Eu rope. Notwithatending his late illness he leaves in excellent health. Hit trip will include viatta to London, Paris, Tienna, Switzerland and, perhaps, Italy. Migrations of the It lacks In tbe Month. 8ayn the Chicago Tribane of lost Thursday, the Beauregard movement, tbe lestnres of which were recently Indicated in hla pronnncla- mento, eoem destined lobe realized, in one re spect at least, namely, the eomplete Africaniza tion of oertaln Sonlh-rn States, emong them, Lonlaiana and Mississippi. Tbe former is al ready virtually Africanize!, and Ibe latter rap idly bcccming ao. Oaring tbe lant twelve months, over 30,000 negroes have left the bills of Georgia, where the soil la poor and unpro ductive, and have swarmed Into the lowlands of ibe Mississippi, where the prairies are rich in soil and more easily cultivated. This incursion of the negroes ia constantly going on, and with increased rapidity. Tbe Memphis Appeal, in a recent iaane. gives s very careful statement of this segregation of raoea and its results. Tbe tendency of the Africans is to the lowlands, and of tho whites to the hills. With the aocumnln- tlon of wealth, the wbltos fleck to tbe villages and eitles and bnild new towns among tbe hills, while the negroes pour steadily into tbe low lands, where their toil ia the moat profitable, and where thev will ultimately monopolize the best ootton ard ungar.growing plantations. In the same ratio that they concentrate, the whites sre foroed nnt, and In many instances Ibe plant ers are subdividing tbeir estates and sailing to the freedmen, while in many others, where the freedmen are in the majority, the taxes for the mpp rt -if np;;-> I.ch inis nr! (ffiv h 1 !. r- ao onerous that real estate becomes a bnr- dm, and thus, by comr.r.l-ory (.sic-. Hio ne groes become the owners as well as the tillers of the soil. Lonieiana is hopelessly destined to beeome a black State, aud the segregation of the two raoee ia progressing ao rapidly in Mississippi that the disposition to create a new State west of the Tennessee and east of the Mississippi river grows stronger end stronger. A definite proposition has already been made to annex to West Tennessee those counties of Mississippi north of tho Tallahatchie river, which wonld surrender the rest of the State to neRro rule and occupation entirely. This wonld lake from Mississippi the oonntiea nf Tunica, DeSoto, Panola, Marshall, IUnten, Union, Tip pah, Aloorn, Prentiss and Tisbmingo, and leave tbe negroes in possession of at least five-sixths of theStato, sod in complete control of the prai- riee and valley lands. This proposition has been very generally disonssed by tbe preea and imong tbe people, and meals with very general avor, especially in the northern oonntiea. Some of tbe southern oonntiea obj eot that tbs northern ones have no right to abandon the rest to the dom ination of the negroes,towbicb they reply tbatthe doom of the State ia sealed, and that they have the right to provide for their own security. Commenting npon the oondition of things, the Appeal save s “Of course there ia much of all this indicative of the coarse of fatnre rather than of present events. Not tho lees earnest among fhongblfol people ia the discussion of facts and questions here presented, which Mis- aisaippUns are accustomed to oonsider when the migatory movements of raoea in tho Gnlf Slates are closely serened. We only propose to suggest, in view of these simple facts, that if miaoegenation be deemed an objectionable inoldent of Beauregard's scheme of fraternizi- tion with blacks, that tho entire Reparation of races ia infinitely more probable snd mnoh more rapidly approaches flea! consummation." As the first Rreat general remit of the emanci pation of the colored race, this segregation of races ia a fact which will be regarded with more than usual interest, aa well as the new prob lems which must grow out of distinctive black governments in Statea, and tbo new commercial questions wbieh will inevitably arise from the new proprietorship of Southern industries. It la a mistake that any nnmber of negroes approximating SO,000 have left the State or Georgia within the past twelve months. Per haps 10 000 may have gone, and of these a good many have come back by rail—hundreds of others are straggling back on foot, aud no doubt ninety-nine in the hundred of the remainder are anxious to get back Speculation as to the fntnre is rather idle. The general movement of the black population of the Southern States, tt seems to ns will be pretty steady towards the southwest—directed not by the ambition of tbe negroes to found black republics, bnt by agri cultural aspirations of tho whites for the rich crops from inexhaustible river allnvinms. The cegroei will never of themselves found and en gineer an E.hiopian State Government in this oonntry, simply because they have not the men tal capscity—the persistence and the construc tive force to do it. They may gather In Missis sippi, Louisiana and Arkansas in clouds, but the white man must do the political engineer ing for them, as well as the tax paying, or their government will sink to a Congo levol. Such appears to be the probabilities; bnt one thing mty bo accepted aa certain—the negro as a voter snd politician will prove as unsatisfactory an element ia American politics ss he ever was as a slave. A Ttm* xsn Maosotczzt Flowxb —We had an opportunity yesterday of viewing several splendid and very perfect specimens of the LSium Laneifolittm AVntm, a very rare and delicate bulbous plant reared by Mrs. James Campbell of this city. The roots were procured in New York, and great pains taken in their cul ture. The petals of this lovely variety of the lily, are largo and most exquisitely formed, and oropping forth from the spotless white field, a large number of brilliant crimson dote appear, which are rai»id above the surface, and resem ble the softest velvet plash. The contrast is almoet dazzling, and it is impossible to imagine anything more chaste and beantifnl. M— Campbell has also the pure white HIT of the same description, which is very elegant. These flower* are well worth a visit from thoee who delight in the wonderful creations of na ture’s laboratory, which art essays in rain to imitate. 'OaaiD 'Or.—In London yesterday at noon the mercury indicated 85 in the shade—a oom- mon summer beat ia Georgia, and one which would not inoommode ns—but such a tempera ture aa ia not often felt in fair Albion, and which oooaaioned itnmswe suffering to man and heart. Mostooxzst is psrtrtwg up an ioe machine manufactured at tviim.i«. -Vanity oljaaitlea,” Saith the preacher—“All is vanity;*’ and then tbe royal preacher proceeds to state, at some length, bow ha bad exhausted the resources of the whole esrth in the pursuit of personal en joyment, and found, as the resnlt, only weari ness of flvh and spirit. Bnt, undeterred by his example, every generation since his time has continued the same porenit by the aims road, with ranch more limited sueoess, only to make tbe same discovery at the end. If there be one'mSn-.on earth.at this time, pre-em'nent above all his fellows in the achieve ment of personal mooses, sre suppose' all wonld agree in pronouncing it to be tbe great Chancel lor of the German Empire—Bismarck. And yet bear him deliver himself, from the topmost round of prosperity’s !adder, to a correspon dent of the New York World of last Friday: Yes, I bare grown weary; I confess it,” said Pnnoe Bismarck. “It ia not only republics that are nngratefnl; bnt I have never oared for grat itude. I despise it; I don't believe in it. It is not because I see that I am beooming unpopu iar, and that I may era long find it expedient to withdraw altogether from publio life, tbatlhave grown weary, nor is it that I am becoming old. Trno. I am almost sixty; bnt there is my Impe rial master who ia seventy six, and the Pope, who ia eighty-cue. That Pope, by the way. will be live forever? It seems so, does it not? How ever, it is not disgust at Ingratitude, norehagrin st loss of faror, nor old tgs that makes me weary—bnt weary I am.” And then, after the introductory paragraph, follows a conversation recounted in two columns, in which the correspondent develops the more special oocajion for tbe “expression of utter and really helpless weariness of apirit” which he read on the conntenanoe of the iUnstriona Prinoe. It grew oat of the religions contro versy In Germany, in connection with the ut terly despotic and materialistic policy whioh the Prinoe desired to enforce bnt found, himself nnable to do so, on sooonnt of tbe powerful in fluence and rapid progress of the Oatbolie Ghnroh in Germany. Beferrlng to a previone conversation with the same correspondent, the Prinoe says: “What we both saw then we both most see now still more clearly. Our flaht is a little more in the open now than it was then, bnt it is tbe seme fight.” “The fight of tbeEmpire against the Ghnroh,' ■aid I. “That diffinition Is faulty because the limits lion it suggests does not really exist. It ia the fight of the State—empire, monaroby, or repnb- lic—against God ; and in this fight the State will get the worst of it unless it auoeceds in destroying the idea of God snd pladng itself in his place. Men siy that tbey most hsve some thing to worship—well, then, let them worship the State; let it be all in all; let it take the plaoe of the family as well as of the Deity; let it ie the Deity; let it be the only Providence; let it provide everything for snd exact every thing from the individual; let it preaoribe how and when he shall be eonoeived and born; how fed in his cradle and ednoated in his yonlh. how long he (dial! servo as a soldier, what shall he hie other life, when and whom he shall marry, how many children he shall have, and, finally, if need be, when he shall die.” “Good for the state, all that,” said I, “bnt what good does the individual get out of It ?’’ “There Is where we shall fail,” replied Prinoe Bismarck; “althongb we might not fail if we ooald educate the people in the right way for two geherations, without the interference of religions teachers. In two generations, if we bad tbe field wholly to ourselves, we conld so obliterate the idea of God and tbe imaginary rights bestowed on man by him as their oreator, that the substitution of the state in his place wonld be effected, and the state, as in pagan Borne, be all in alb" ‘Yon now nee the very phrase that yon em ployed two years ago—‘the imaginary rights bestowed by God aa tbe Creator.*" “Yes; that has become a formal* of mine, end it expresses much. The man who believes in God reasons thns: 'God made me for his glory and for my own temporal and eternal hap piness ; that I may gain this, he prescribes the da'ies that I owe to him, and tbe rights that I am to peas css; no one must prevent my dis charging these duties and enjoying these rights; tbey depend on no human sanction and oan be infringed by no bnman authority.’ This reason ing is all fallacious, bnt the idea at the bottom of it is tbe root of all aspirations for personal freedom. It is the root of what one of yonr American demagogues years ago called ‘the higher law.* When one knows that God does not exist, then he knows that no snoh lights conld have been conferred snd no snoh dnties imposed; in a word, that men have no rights and are snbject wholly and rightly to tbe com pulsion of foroe—be it force exerted by a ma jority or by an antoera!—to the law of 'blood and iron’ tf yon please.” Here Prinoe Bismarck, rising from the sofa on which he hsd been reolinlng, paced rapidly np and down the room, ponriog opt sentence after sentence of the most remarkable reasoning and philosophy to which I have ever listened. I have written, for my own fntnre use, oopiona notes of all he said, bat I do not hers transcribe them, partly beesnse of their length and partly became of tbeir highly metaphysical character which renders them nnfit for tbe columns of a news journal. The seminal idea of the whole was that the aspiration for liberty grew ont of the belief for God; that It wonld be impossible to make a perfectly r.nbservient people ont of men imbned with tbe dogmas of Cbristianily; and that, while all forms of Christianity were alike fallacious, be cared to war against none bnt tbit of tbe Roman Catholie Chnrcb. for the reason that it alone was formidable. He aald: “Nothing has amused me more than the praises which I have received from the Protes tant Christians of England snd America. The asses! I have wished to crash Borne that I might crash Ohristianily. They praise me for my servio“s in tbe cause of what they call re formed Christianity! If anything conld con sole me for the chagrin which I foresee 1 am to endnre for some time to came, it wonld be to witness the amazement of these good friends of mine when tbey understand tbe truth. Bat understand it they never will—they are num- sknlla.” Prince Bismarck then, according to this in- terviewer, goes on to explain how he has failed to bring the Emperor folly np to this high standard of a Godless Despotism—particularly since his late narrow escape from death—which has strengthened the infiuenoe of the Empress and of religions ideas over him, and how, In spits of the repressive measures of the Government, the progress of Catholicism has been unpre cedented in Germany. It Is a queer disclosure, if a true one; and we confess it harmonizes vary well with onr conceptions of tbe sotnal developments of the scope and tendency of Bismarck’s administra tive policy for eight years past—a policy mak ing everything subsidiary to tbe single idea of national aggrandizement; and here, if one may credit this interviewer, Biamirok is overwhelmed with disgust st the apparent impossibility of extinguishing nil sentiments of religion and all considerations relating to, and founded npon a fntnre and eternal existence, in the Interests of ‘German unity" represented by an iron-handed, military, ail-oonqnering despotism. - No wonder snch an idea shonld make any Prinoe or poten tate weary. It onght to break his spirit or his head, or both. Mb. G. W. K. Barm give* the grand total of tbe State debt of Loniaiacaas *41,608,738 90.

The drought has injured the crops very mnoh, and the corn has commenced firing, some stalks nearly up to the. ear, and the need of rain ia seen, through the entire neighborhood. It is quite a gloomy time indeed with the farmers.

Crops in Texas. The Houston Telegraph, of the 15>h instant, says tbe crop prospect io Texas is not a bright one. Troo, a gotd crop of wheat bss been made, and tbe must of it gathered without loss. Corn, also, while cot at i s beet in all sections, still promises a plentifnl yield; but ootton, the great staff npon which Texas, with other South ern States, still rests most of its aspirations for wealth, will show a large failing off from the average yield of the past fiye years. The early spring was propitious for breaking lands and securing stands, bnt the frosts oame, killed out most of the young plants and necessitated re planting, which made this crop three weeks later than usual. Then came oontinnnns and excessive rains, bringing up tbe weeds bl d grass and preventing farmers from working their crops, which soon became almost hopelessly choked ont by this rank growth. And now, since the rains have ceased and the weeds been destroyed, the ootton plant is revealed ith its spindling stalk and few long jointed limbs, whioh calls for the most favorable conditions henceforth to make it yield any. thing worth mentioning. But there seems bnt little or no prospect that these conditions will transpire; for dronth ia already npon it, and something far worse, the dreaded caterpil lar. The genuine ootton worm is now devast ating allot tbe lower Brazes oonntry, and has appeared in many other plaoes as far np as Washington oonnty. Ia the latter section its ooming is three weeks earlier than nsnal, and will consequently occasion greater disaster. Coming this early, tbe warm will probably sweep the entire S ate and inflict losses on up land crops that have n-roit'ly escaped altogether. So much for present prospects, and so mnoh for the folly of turning a deaf ear to tbe oft re peated injunction to place not yonr falthin oot ton. With a short ootton orop and low prices this fall we shall expect to find some at last who will disoover wild >m in tbe system of diversified orops and variety of production.

Cullen, proprietor of the hotel and springs. Forth* following particulars in regard to the affair we are indebted to Dr. O. O. Green of this oity, who was summoned by telegraph to the assist, anoe of the scalded man. Mr. Cnllen was en gaged in erecting a new bath house over a large pool of boiling water for use in giving steam baths. Timbers for tbe fonndation of the structure had been laid across tbe boiling pool, whieh is four or five feet in depth, snd Mr. Cnllen hsd aralksd ont on one of these for the purpose of arranging a cross-timber, when he slipped and fell into the scalding water. The water was so deep that it reaohed nearly to his breast bone, and is so bot that an egg is oooked In it in two minntes. When he fell in it he waa either so frightened or felt snoh pain that fora time he'seemed in a manner paralyzed and isoapable of doing anything to- ward getting ont. It is said that he was in the spring folly half a minute before be got out, which he did at last- through his own exertions and the help of a man who came to his asaiet- anoe. He was taken to the Hotel and stripped, when tbe greater part of the skin slipped off his body from near the breast bone downward, tt A V. Putnam, 8t*te Printer, Jsmes Gray of this city, and others who happened to be visit, ing at the Springs, did all that eonld be done for the suffering man pending the arrival of the physician. They got a large quantity of floor and packed him in it, and kept him in this eon- dition until the doctor arrived. Dr. Green says that the man may be said to be literally oooked alive. As to whether he will live or not he can not say, bnt appear* to think his reoovery wonld be little’ahort of a miracle. Cnllen wa* in snch agony that the doctor was obliged to giva him very heavy doses of opinm to keep him at all quiet. . Mount Lebaxok is the Borne of Shakerdom. Here is their largest community, their Vatican and their Pope. Thousands of strangers visit thsm annually, and ail are impressed by the neatness of their houses, gardens, streets and apparel; bnt what pleased me most were their stone walk. They surrounded their gardens, and are eo regular, breed end firm that it ie im possible for frost ortempeetto overthrow them. Nothing short cf an earthquake will prevent their lasting one thousand years. Tbe learned doctors assure tss ladies that if we would aban don tbe ibenrditiei of fashion, retire early, rise with the sun, be regular in our habits, exercise in tbe open air, ard follow the example of our grandmothers in industry, we would be models of female health, beauty and strength. Ah me! I folly believed tbeir theories, and sighed be cause I eonld not practioe them—util I visited the Shaken. Here are women of the fashion of whose apparel afford, them no ears nor trouble; whose forma are not pressed by the corset steel; who rtae with the rat and retirs with the set- ting of the same; whose meals ere simple, habits regular, amt with whom industry ia the role; and yet, among e hundred or mare Shak- eiemee, l law not a doaen who appeared healthy. The complexion, were sallow, eyes heavy and atop* languid. Perhaps the monotony of their Uvea ia the secret trouble.— World Letter. BY TELEGRAPH. BAT DISPATCHES. The Brooklyn Trust Collapse.

Additional exeitemeot bar been cansed in Brooklyn fioaneiat circles by the announce ment that Jadge Alexander McCae, tbe l&rge-t stockholder of the Brooklyn Trast Company, and on whose application it was forced to sus pend payment, has, sinoe Milk’ death, been transferring his real estate iai heavy blocks to his wife, to secure himself from lose in case the company proves insolvent. The transfers which embrace one lot v&lned at $90,000. are first made out by HcOue to E Igar M. Cnllen, then by the Utter to McOae’s wife. In addition to deposits hitherto reoorted. tbe United States Government had $200,000 with the oompany. N. H. Clement had $13,000 and Dr. Bryant $23,000. The more searching the investigation, tbe worse the oondition of the oo.noern appears to be. Secretary M. T.

End of an Tmportant*Flnnnclal Contest. Waphekiton, July 21.—Col. Charles Case, receiver of the Firat National Bank of New Orleans, has jnst arrived, and reports to the Comptroller of the Currency that he has Intel- ligenoe from Messrs. Jevins & Byley, his solioi- tors in Liverpool, that the Honse of Lords has recently decided the last of a series of chancery oases in hk favor, thns securing some seventy thousand dollars or more to tbe fund for the general oreditora of the bank. Col. Case may justly congratulate himself upon this result. When the bank failed aome six years sinoe sundry oreditors who bad bought its bills on the Bank of Liverpool sought to se- onre payment of their claims in fall, by insti tuting proceedings in ohancery in England, by which they tied np, pendente suit, and hoped finally to appropriate between $200,000 and $300,000 then on deposit in the Liverpool Bank, npon tbe theory that there had been a specific appropriation of funds to pay the sev eral bills as tbey were negotiated. They seem ed confident of sucoees, and many other crediors, and even some eminent lawyers, were more than fearful that this large enm wonld be lost to the general fand; bat the reoeiver, after a oarefcl consideration of tbe faots, concluded that the units onght to be defeated, both because these faots did not warrant tho theory of any speoifio appropriation, and becanse it wsb not within the powers of a national bank to make snoh an appropriation in a time bill as against the contingency of its own interve ning insolvency. He resolved, therefore, to oontest the cares, and did so. Tbe decision of the vice ohanoellor was adverse to him. He appealed, and some two years einoe the Lord High Chancellor and three judges, with him sit ting, prononnoed elaborate opinions, reversing the aloe chancellor’s decrees, snd decreeing the money to be paid to tt^e reoeiver. Alt bnt two of the claimants aoqniesoed in this deoree. These two, aotihg, as is under stood, npon the advioce of Hon. J. P. Benja min, formerly United States Senator, now prac ticing barrister and Queen's counsel in London, took an appeal to the Honse of L ird-t, thns tying np £150 000 of tbe fand two years longer. This appeal, after the most elaborate argument on behalf of the appellants, has just been dis missed with oosft, and the reoeiver, after six years’ fighting, from the lowest to the highest ohenoery tribunal in England, ts finally com- pletely successful.

Tbe Brooklyn Trust Company. New Yobk, Jnly 21.—The following are the latest facts and rnmore as to the affairs of the Brooklyn Trust Oompany: That the oapital stock of the oompany was half a million, but thi«, it is said, has all been absorbed. There is three hundred thousand dollars worth of what may be oonsid-red worthless loans. The de falcation of Mills is between $150,000 and $200,000. Mr. Ktdmsn’s loans are $34,000. Sr the prospect of deoositors realizing any thing for some time is not considered very goo-l- Lust Friday or Saturday Mills stated to hts son that he felt worried about his accounts in the Trust Ootupsny; that it was overdrawn. His son then said to him: “Father, you had better attend to that at once; something might h&poen to von.” He replied: ‘Til look into it right away.” He acoording'y made arrang-ments with a capitalist—a relative—for a loan to cover his account with the Trust Oompsny, which was to have been negotiated on Tuesday, the day of his death. It is stated that *hre« months ego Mr. Lowe resigned the Vice Presidency on the score of ill- health. A few we-ks sinoe it was suggested by Messrs. Chsuucy, Bockwell and othe s that it wonld be well to investigate the affairs of the oompany in order that some decision might be made as to Georgia and railroad bonds, and their true valne ascertained. Mills ohj'cted ard tried to postpone the investigation, althongb, at the time, no defalcation on his part was sus pected. In thk objeotion he was supported by Bodraan, the score:ary. There appears to have been occasional dis cussion among the directors aud minority men, called by Milk and Bodmsn “the Mechanics’ Back gang.” Monday last, before his death, the former requested that investigation be post poned. Bodmin says be, the (President,) ez- peoted to reoeive $34 000 on the following day, and the direotors are of the opinion that, on Monday, he fonnd he wonld be disappointed. When it was discovered that irregularities ex isted the secretary admitted that Mills’ acoonnt was overdrawn, bnt said $75,000 would cover the defalcation. He said when the irregulari ties oemmenoed he remonstrated with Mills, who replied, invariably, that he did not want to hear anything about it, aa it wonld be all right before long. The oompany bas also loaned smaller sums of money, no doubt full $70,000. Vogt not Extradited. New Yoek, July 21.—An evening paper says it was learred to day from a reliable sonree that the State department at Washington bas deoided after a O'refnl review of the proceed ings btfore the U-iited States Commissioner here, not to issue a warrant of extradition in the oa-te of Colonel Vogt, the alleged German murderer.

A correspondent of the Indianapolis Herald telk the following anecdote of Prof. Poster, who filled with mneh ability one of the chairs of the Faculty of the ooliege in Enoxviile, Ten nessee: Prdf. Foster wssweli educated in the sciences usually taught in colleges, bnt his ignorance of the common affairs of life rendered him a remarkable man, furnishing a rare snbjeet for the stndy of human nature in one of its multi form phases. Being advised by some of hie friends to get married, he, with childlike faith and simplicity, accepted their advioe, and prom ised to do so if he oontd find a yonng lady wil ling to have him. They referred him to a num ber of tbe best yonng ladies in the oity, any one of whom, they had no donbt, wonld be willing to aceept his hand and make him happy. He was one of the most kind hearted of men, ns void gt guile as of offenoe, and an entire stranger to the forms and ceremonies of modern court ship. He oonldn't see the necessity of consum ing a year or two in popping the question— “Sally, will yon have me ?” So he went that very day to the residence of tbe nearest yonng lady who had been oommended, and being wel- oom m! and Bested In tbe family cirele, as he always was wherever known, he at onoe made known tbe objeot of his visit by saying in a clear and dktinot voice: “Well, Miss Sarah, my friends have advised me to get married, recommend you and a num ber of other yonng ladies to ma aa suitable per sons, and I have now called to see if yon are willing to marry me.” Had an earthquake violently shaken the prem ises, the household oontd not have been more astonished. Like a frightened roe, Sarah start ed to run, when her mother caught her, and said: “Why, ohild, don't be frightened, the Professor won’t hnrt yon.” Being again seated, a deep blush succeeded the paleness whioh had been canted by the startling announcement, and she rallied enongh to be able to say to the Professor that as his proposition wag entirely unexpected, she mnst have some time to consider the matter. This he granted, bnt said: “As I am anxions in ease of yonr refnsal, to see the other yonng ladies to-day, I can wait only one hoar for yonr answer.” Knowing the worthiness, sincerity, and sim plicity of the Professor, the matron took her blushing daughter np Btairs for consultation, while the father was left to entertain hk pro posed son-in-law as best he conld nnder the novel oireumstancea. Of coarse the discussion of the sadden proposition between Sarah and her mother was private and cannot be given in fall. The most essential points of it, however, were told afterward. It was readily admitted t&at he was entirely worthy of Sarah’s hand and heart. “But, mamma,” said Sarah, “how wonld it look to other people for me to have to give an anawer in one short hoar—only sixty minuteB— jamp at a hasty chance—and to think how my yonng frlenda wonld jeer and laugh at me. Wouldn't they tease me to death ? No, ma, I oan never faoe that musio.” “Bat stop, my child, and listen to me. There is not a yonng lady in the oity that wonld not jump at the offer made you. Let them laugh. Girls mnst have something to laugb at, bnt it won’t hart you. Tell him yes, emphatically. If he were a stranger whose antecedents were un known to ns, however prepossessing in person and manners, or profuse in his professions of love, I wonld withhold my consent. But we have long known him, hk moral character ia without reproach, he is amiable, kind-hearted, and sinoere, a fine scholar, with an honorable position in the ooliege, and he makes no false preteuoes. Ton know just what he is. What more do you want ?” “Bnt, mamma, I don’t know that he loves me, he hasn’t even said so.” “O, well, daughter, never mind that. Gen erally, those who are londest in tho professions of love have least of tbe pare article. Yon can teach him by example to love you. It is far better than precept.” Leaning her head npon her mother’s bosom, Sarah said, in a submissive tone: “Well, ma, j ost aa you say—I’ll tell him yea; but, althongb the hour isn't half ont, we'll not go down, until the last minute of the hour." At the expiration of the fifty-ninth minute they returned to the Professor snd papa, Sarah still blushing, but more calm than before. Then, with a firmness that astonished herself as well aa her parents, she extended her hand to the Professor sod ssid: “Yea, sir, if papa consents.” He gave his oonsent without hesitancy, and it was readily agreed by all that the wedding shonld take plaoe a week from that time. Then Professor Foster, with his nsnal calmness, eon- aeiens of having done bk duty, withdrew to report progress to his friends. Well, in dne time the Profeaeor went to the clerk for hk lioenae. The clerk informed him that the law required a bond and security in the sum of $1,250, to be void on oondition that there wee no legal objection to tbe proposed onion of the two persons named. The Profes sor very promptly replied: “Oh, never mind the bond, Mr. Clerk; I will pay $1,100 down, and will hand yon the balance in a day or two.” After further explanation by tbe clerk, the Profeaeor soon complied with the law end ob tained his lioenae. At the appointed time the wedding came off in the beet style of tbe oity, and tbe oompany enj eyed the occasion with the greatest zaat. The boors How like humming bud,. Aa tbe clock strnok twelve Ut.i Professor picked up bk hat and started to his .boardirg honso. Hk principal attendant, surmising nis intention, followed to the front door and informed him that matrimonial etiquette require! him to stay and board aud lodge at the house of his father, in-law nntil he and his wife wished to live by themselves; that he won'.d be furnished with a room adj roent to Sarah’s room, in order that, if she happened to get Jhir-ty, he might be near to get her a drink of fresh water. In the morning the bride and groom were greeted with tha smiles of the family, together with those of some early callers, and inquiries were made if they had slept well. Both re sponded that they had never slept sonndor in their lives, ho adding, with his childlike’sim- plioity, that he w is happy to Bay Sarah did not call for water daring the whole night. That last remark vras quite a riddle to her, and she looked enriens, bnt said nothing, no ope venturing to ask him to rise and explain. He did not know it waa a joke played npon him until !he attend' ant told :t aa tn:h to tbe company. Finally the happy couple went to housekeep ing, and never were man and wife more heart ily congratulated or more highly esteemed than they were. They were the favorites in the city. Naver was wife more lovely or hnsband more kind and devoted, but be didn't know anything abont providing for the larder, only as Sarah taught him. One little incident may suffice to illustrate. She told him one day to get some rioe. He went immediately to the atore and told tbe clerk he wanted to get some rioe. “How much ?’’ inquired the olerk. ‘ Oh, not much.” said tbe Professor, “I reckon three or four bushels will do for the present.” The olerk was very sorry to say they had not so mneh on hand, but that they wonld soon have more. The olerk persuaded him to try to make ont for a few days with some fifteen or twenty ponnds. Sarah and the cieik were not the only ones who langhed over the incident. He never oalled for the three or fonr bu-hele afterward. If the Professor and his wife are still living thoy must be well strioken in years, and if tbo j see thk brief sketch of their early lives, and find any errors in it, they will pardon the writer. A REM ark able case of human endurance is reported from Lancaster oonnty, Pennsylvania': William Moyer, living near Adimstown, was piereed through the body with a scythe, on the 24-iinlL, and the wound oaused thereby ex tended from his right side, above his hip, to his left side, below the arm-pit. Tbe gash at the entranoe of the instrument was five and a half inohes in length, and at the point of exit waa one and a half inches long. The lobe of the right Inng was pieroed, and, although hla frlenda have dep&ired, his pbjBiciau states that, it in- flimmation does not set in, there is a prospect of his recovery.
