knelber Emigration Scheme.
The Montgomery Advertlaer lays the negro
Repreeentative in the Legislature from the
oonnty of Aotanga, in that State, la bolding
meetings among bis class with a view of indne-
ing them to emigrate to Hebraaka. And of
ooopie be will fool many Into going, for of all
masters that ever owned slaves none are so im
plleitly obeyed a* these sort. Tbey oan make
their poor dupes believe enything, do anything,
and go anywtera. If it was to Alaska or Ioe
land icsteady of Hebraaka, they would peck np
end start just as readily. Of course this negro
legislator don’t Intend going himself. He la
too smart for that, just aa another of his stripe
in this bailiwick was last winter, wbo begniled
hundreds of bis color to Arkansas, where tbey
were all to make their fortunes and be free
from the persecutions of tbe Democrats,
teoo pestiferous incendiaries end demagogues
cold only accompany these emigrants there
would be some sort of compensation tn the
business, but they don’t. Tbey all stay behind
to ho persecuted by the whites and kept poor
all their lives.
It is almost incredible that the negroes, ig
norant oven aa they ere, do not discover the
meanness and selfishness of their new masters.
The Istler get np these emigration excitements
purely for gain. Tbey are paid so much a bead
for all tbe hand* tbey send West, and we have
never yet heard of one of them dividing his
profits with (hose they Induce to leave their
old homes, nor making any arrang'mtnls for
helping them In case (hey wish to retnrn.
There are now hundreds of tbe poor ereatnres
wbo have been doped by these rpeonlators neat.
Is rod all the way from Mscoo to the ootton
fields of Arkansas, with bnt one desire, and
(hat to got back to ibe land of persecution.
They reslizi (o the fullest extent thst they
have been ihsmefnlly deceived, and yet are nn-
eblo to help themselves. And so it goes.
(These Alabama negroes are bent even on n
bigger fool’s errand. If tbey don’t freeze in
Nebraska—one of tho worst climates in all the
Welt—they will starve. They will find them
selves damped down In a country that does not
■nit either their labor or their constitutions,
end among a set of the hardest, coldest, greed
lest mortals that ever said “keow," and sympa-
tb xjd with—at a distance and withont ex
pense—the condition of the poor slaves of the
Booth. Arkansas is bad enough, but Nebraska
will be ten thousand times worse. If aoy of
them live to get bsck to Alshams, and have the
least mite of sense or spirit, tbey will sorely
make it hot for the Autauga legislator.

Many complaint* reach ibis city relative to
tho conduct of persons recently appointed Oon-
snla to Enopa. Within a few weeks there has
been a summary removal of some of the oldest
and moat efficient Consuls. This removal has
been followed by the sppolntmmt of persons
from the South, many of whom have beon con-
apionons for their disloyally to tbe Government
Tbe faot is known here that the person recently
ppointed to snooeed Dr. Bee, of Springfield,
Ilmois, late Consul at Belfast, refused to reply
toe toast to the Uaited Slates Government,
while on tbe passage to his consulate, end thst
he gave frtquent expression to disloyal senti
ments.
There have also bean some recent appoint
ments In the Department, here of Demons dis -
liogntabed for their disloyalty. One of tbe
more promloeot of thefe is the oa>e of Major
El'aa Griswold, who is now assistant to the law
offices tn tbe Poatoffioe Department, on a salary
of 81,800 a year. This Major Grlawold oocn-
pied prominent positions la the Confederate
lumy during the entire war. He was In com
mand of the prison camp at Columbia, South
Carolina, also in command of*tho prison pen st
TnscalooaA, Alabama, and was subsequently
Provost Marshal of Rlohmond, and had Libby
prison witbin bis jurisdiotion.— WiuMngton

Thia is indeed terrible. It fairly makes our
flash to creep, and onr hair to stand on end
Wbat are we ooming to ? Tbe life of the nation
Indeed in peril when aneb things can happen.
We abndder to think that tbe “finite of Ihe
war” should be pnt in snob extreme jeopardy.
Bit don’t the Commercial man know that
these so-called disloyal chaps have been wash
ed elean by voting for Grant last fall, and that
Gnewold ran as an indepandent candidate for
Congress In one of tbe Baltimore diatriets
against tbe regular Democratic nominee, receiv
ing the solid vote of the “Shack Hasty” party?
That, of coarse, purged him in the eyes of tbe
administration, and the next step was to give
him a fatoffiie. Tbe Yankee papers during
the war told awfnl tales about this
cinolties to “Union prisoners” which may or
may not be true. The moment, however, he
showed a willingness to tnrn his back upon his
own people, he is a marvellously proper man.
We have no sort of donbt that if Wlrtz had not
been hung and had lived to tarn Radical, he
would now have been a postmaster, or revenue
collector. The Rsdieals don’t cam a continental
how big a villian a man may have been, accord'

Brown's Wooden Wedding.
From the Boston Traveller.]
Brown, a young insurance friend of onrs,
who lives in Cambridge, had tbe fifth annivers
ary of his wedding occur abont a week ago,
and his friends determined to oolebrate his
wooden weddiDg by a surprise party. Brown
came in ve^teraiy and told ns how they suc
ceeded. They commenced by seeding a servant
round with a texm to take Brown and his wife
out to ride about seven. Then they began to
oome with presents and materials for supper.—
There was a little pirty of five came first, all
laden—hands fall. They all got nioely inside
the garden gate, which shuts with a spring,
wtten Brown's big mastiff, who is always left
unchained in bis master's sbsenoe, came
round the oorner and surprised them. One
woman stepped on her dress, and in her fall so
demoralized a fragile black walnut book case
she carried, that it was afterwards done up in a

morning about 7o’clock. Mr. Wm. Clark, a mer

Death or Col. W. .T. Vason —Col. W. J.
Vsaon, h well known citizen of Angnsta, died
at his residence, on Washington street, abont
half-pant twelve o'clock last Sunday, of paraly
sis, st the age of s ; xty-thxee years. Col. Yason
was a native of Morgan oonnty, Georgia, and a
brother of Hon. D. A. Vaeon, of Albany. He
was early admitted to the bar, and went out to
California to practice law daring tbe great gold
excitement. He soon left that region, however,
And moved to New Orleans. He left New Or
leans for Angnsta shortly after his marriage
with a dangbter of the late Tamer Clanton, of
this city, and resided here from that time nntil
bis death, a period of about eighteen years. He
was a member of the Richmond bar, although
not engaged in praotice for a nnmbbr of years
back. He had been in bad health for some
time previous to his death, tbe final stroke of
p&ralj sis being, we believe, the third. His
faneral took plaoe yesterday afternoon at five
o’clock.
Stcike at Gba.mteville —Wennderstandthat
strike wa3 ordered in the cotton factory at
Graniteville on last Saturday, and that the op
eratives ceased to work on that day. Tbe cause
of the trouble, we learn, was not tbe amount of
wages paid by the oompiny, bnt the manner in
which payments were made. Under a former
administration of affairs it was a custom to pay
off the operatives at the end of every two weeks,
bat the present management though it best to
pay off monthly instead of semi-monthly. This
Arrangement, it is said, caused much dissatis
faction, and a few days ago the operatives pe
titioned the Superintendent to restore the old
enstom. Their demand, we understand, was
refnsed, and a strike was then ordered and fx-
ecuted—all the employes bnt forty or iifiy
ceasing work.
The same paper gives the details of the ac
cident on the Charlotte, Colombia and Angnsta
Railway, mention of which was made in onr
telegrams Tuesday morning:
Last Sunday morning the sleeping coaob, Pi
oneer No. 1, of the Pullman Line, attached to
the rear of the paj&enger train of the Char
lotte, Colombia and Angnsta Railroad, dae at
Angnsta at 8:20 a. u , was thrown from the
trestle beyond Hamburg, abont a quarter of a
mile from the river, and its two passen
gers, Mr. Patrick Walsh, of the Ohroniole and
Sentinel, and Mr. F. W. Clark, Assistant Gen
eral Freight Agent of the Atlantio Coast Line,
tbe sleeping car condnotor, Mr. S. W. Banting,
and the colored porter, Wm. Mishaw, the only
persons in the oar at the time, all, more or less,
severely cat and braised. The circumstances
attending the accident—gained by ns from the
best source* of information—appear to be as
follows: The train, composed of fonr ean, tbe
baggage, first and seoood eU*a passenger, and
the sleeping coaob, was under charge of Con
ductor R. H. Hand. Mr. Henry Wbitaett, the
engineer, had only been on tbe road a short time,
that being his seoond trip over it. Knowing this
fact, the conductor says as the train rounded
the carve he rose to pull the bell rope in order
to warn tbe engineer that be mast slacken his
speed, the trestle being doss by. Before his
hand touched the rope, however, the whistle
blew tbe signal for down brakes and he there
fore sat down* satisfied that the engineer knew
what he was about. Almost immediately after
wards tbe whistle sounded tbe alarm denoting
that something was on the track ahead. Thia
signal was caused by tbe engineer seeing a oow
grazing on the track near the beginning of the
long trestle extending from the rivex to Shultz’s
HilL The animal was a short distance from the
highway leading from Hamburg to Shultz’s Hill,
and on tbe side nearest the river. Instead of
jumping from the track when the whistle blew,
she started along the trestle and had proceeded
probably four or five feet when the oow-catcher
struck her. It is supposed that afce was picked
np by this and carried to the point where the
accident occurred, a distanoe of about twenty
yarda, and that sbe then slipped off and dropped
upon the tree tie. falling partly between two of
the cross ties. Tbe entire train, with the excep
tion of the sleeping car, passed over her safely,
although the first class passenger coach,
the one next to the last, had a very narrow
r'cMpsiloo p»Xnio cream heTl'med^oaRh escape. When the sleeping ear leached the
hot hoose in tho corner of
coir, which was jammed between two of tbe
ties, it i« ^opposed th.it one of tbe latter—which
h»d probably become loosened by the tracks of
the forward ears striking against tbe caroaaa of
the animal—became fastened ia the roar track,
which was immediately slewed around. The
rear end of the cat then broke loo«e from the
track and slided off tbe east side of the trestle,
the track on the top of which is .boot fifteen
foot from the lerel ground below. The weight
of the oar jerked the bumper off the ladle*’
ud the sleeper, now d*aobed from the
rest of the train, was burled to the earth. For-
innately, jost at. the point where the
occurred is .3 embenkment extending aboot
half way np the track, and the oar, in falling,
•track its rear end .gain**
plete somersault, and landing finally to the soft
earth in its proper position, top op. Bnt for tne
bank its roar and would hare first rosebud the
earth, and the inmates of tbs CM kiUet
The train was stopped abont fifty yards beyond
tbe eoene of the soot dent, and the conductor,
if- TTand l jumping froji tbs ladles onr, rnn
back to where the sleeping car hid fallen. He
first endeerored to get in at the front door, bnt
finding that blockaded by the debris inside, he
hurried to the roar entrance, where he suc
ceeded in getting in. He fonnd Messrs. Walsh
mod Clark lying in the aisle. Hr. Walsh partly
on top of Mr. Clark, and both nnconeeioas. Hr
Clark was bleeding profnsely. and his face was
coTerad with blood and mod, Ihe latter haring
oome in throngh the windows when the oar
straek the bank. Hr. Hand, with the aasiaUnoe
of other parties, remored the two gentlemen to
a grass plat ontaide. He then retnrned to look
for tbe sleeping ear oondnetor. Hr. Banting.
He fonnd him in his berth, where be was sleep,
log at the time of tbe accident, enveloped in
the elothlng and unable to more. His head was
btdly braised, bnt otherwise he was nnirjared.
The ootorod porter, Wm Hi'htw, was painfully

Filling Teeth by Machinery.
From tbe Beading (Pa ) Eagle, August 7 ]
At the effioe of a dentist in this city are to be
seen several very enrions mechanical appliances
nsed for drilling holes in teeth and preparing
cavities, and filing them with gold and other
metal. They sre known as drills and plnggers.
Tbe most wnnd-rfal thing of sills tbe faot that
this maohinery is rnn by eleatriolty alone For
insttuee tbe drill; this appliance is small, and
is held in the hand while operating with it, the
same as a pen while writing. It is oonneoted
with wires leading to a battery, and tbe electric
current ooming in eontaot with the several parts
of tbe machinery the drill revolves a great many
hnndred times a minnte, and than easily and per
feotly performs what has heretofore been labo
rious, tediens, and annoying work, both to the
operator and to tbe patient. Another drill is
a so shown wbtoh bar heretofore been rnn by
treadle power. The owners of the latter pa
tent in order to keep np with the eleotrio drill
have invented a small engine for the pnr-
pose of taking the place of the treadle power.
There i* the eleotrio plngger, which is mod to
fill oavities with appropriate metal or other
aebstanae. It is operated by eleotrioity, and
strikes with great rapidity when in operation,
doing its work with wondrous accuracy. It is
held in the bands of the operator in almost the
same manner as the drill, and the jar or shock
made by the descending instrument on the tooth
is scarcely peroeptible. When the above little
instruments are in operation they make a pleas
ed humming noise, very frequently patting
the patient to sleep, only to be awakened when
the engagement is at an end and the operation
eomplet—4. The above are considered very
valnable inventions, and to possess mem re
quires an ontiay of oonsiderable money, and
with them the imsginerv horrors of thedentist’a
chair sink Into ins ! gnifioanoe f and tooth filling
and repairing becomes rather a pleasure than
horrid deteriible period of suffering and
torture.
IIow Sbe Became Grtcn,
Mr. Green was a good looking man, very-
he dressd well—was well poBted up in ma ters
of business, snd bad tbe reputation of being a
smart men. But Mr. Green bed lived thirty
years without a wife. It wasn’t his fault, for
he was fond of the society of the fairer sex;
owned a floe house, which he rented for his
board, and there were plenty of marriageable
ladies in the village.
How happened it, then, that Mr. Green re*
mlined in a state of siDgie blesiedoess ? Went
of oonrage. Mr. Green »u a coward among
tbe ladies. True, he could piok np a lady’s
handkerchief, hold a rkein of yarn, or give his
arm in the politest manner to esoort a lady
from church. He had seen at least a half dozen
women be wonid have married, or wbo wontd
have married him; but he never could muster
sufficient oonrage to ask either of them whether
she waold or not.
One evening he was visiting at tbe window
Smith’s—Widow 8mt!h—not twenty-six years
had flown over her head, and yet she had been
widow three years, sod had long pnt off her
widow’s weeds She was pretty, had placed her
only child beside her husband in the grave yard
and elghed for a ocmpsnioo; and many a time
had she remarked to her friends she wondered
why Mr. Green did not get married. He was
an oosasional esller at her house, and wonld
have married her at an hour's notice. But she
did not know it. He had never whispered to
her of love.
He con’d talk abont the crops—the growth of
the village—the inrtnstry of the young men, and
all other matters which the widow did not oare
to hear about, bnt the “one thing" which would
have struck her ear as the sweetest of sounds,
he never mentioned.
On the evening in question iho widow was ex-
oossivoly annoyed by Her domestics. Hardly was
Mr. Green seated when Bridget mide her ap
pearance at the door.
“Mrs. Smith, if it plszv yon,” arid the do
mestic, “will yon look into the kitchen for a
minute?”
Scarcely had Mrs. Smith returned, when the
busby head of John, the hired man, was thrust
into the door, with:
‘Mrs. Smith.”
How I hate the name of Smith!” said the
lady.
Mr. Green’s eyes dilated torn moment—he
opened his month tni exclaimed in harried so-
oents:
“Make it Green, ma’am—make It Green!”
And in less than a month there was no
’Widow Smith" in onr village.
A Scene at the Grand Central Hotel,
New Torit.
New York oorreepondence.]
No one who has visited Europe will fail lo
appreciate ths following: A prominent Boston
gentleman, a proprietor of ooe of the leading
Boston dailies, had just arrived in the steamer
from Europe, and met with a New York friend,
while registering his name in the exchange of
the Grand Central Hotel. The New Yorker
evidently expects to hear the nsusl glowing
tale of those freeh from the tour, and begins
thus: “Hsllo, Charley! Glad to see you back!
How-d'yon enjoy yonraelf, old fellow? Have
a good time ?" “Good time.” grumbled Char
ley. ‘Tn no glad to get back, I can't tell! I've
had nothing U e;‘ sinoe I'va been away.
Prunes and lour wine going, and prunes and
sear wine ooming. Sick no a dog, at that! Lon
don-bloody beef and oold mutton, ale and fog.
Faria—sour winea and fancy crumbs. Ger
many, etc.—bitter beer, soar wine and Heaven
knows what in the dishes. Taverns—candles,
and paid service everywhere. Not a first olasa
sentiNe hotel like thie anywhere, to say nothing
of the prioe. Thank the Lord I'm home again.”
“Bat tbe steamer! the ocean?" suggeeted
Charley's friend. “Let’s go np stairs snd get
something to eat.” And they disappeared in
the elevator to ths evident amusement, not to
ly gratification, of mine host Powers snd a
number of other gentlemen who bad thus heard
European sad American hotels so summarily
ami truthfully criticised and the Grand Central
“brought to the front” in such few words.

A FRENCH RECEP.XON.
. — „,.,cora rrcpnrt Hastily.
In a recently published French book, written
by several celebrated authors, and sold for the
benefit of the poor in A'stoe-Lorraine, is the
following story by M. Ernest Ligouve: “A
lady of Strasbourg had, since the late war, two
Prussian (fillers of the army of occnpation
quartered at her house. These g intlemen made
themselves very mnoh at home, bat complained
bitterly that they were not invited by their
hostess to her private parlor, and particnlarly
that they were not admitted to her reoeptions.
Tbe next day they received an invitation. They
entered punctually at eight o’oloek in the even
ing. The parlor was dimly lighted by one sin
gle lamp, and ten ladies dressed in deep monrn
ing were seated In the apartment.
‘The mistress of the house seeing them en
ter, rose to meet them, and leading them to the
first of these ladies, presented them with these
words:
“ ‘Mv daughter, whose hnsband was killed
daring the late siege.”
“The Prussians turned pale. SUo led them
to tbe second lady.
“ ‘My sister, who lost her son at Froeach-
weller.’
“The Prussians looked embarrassed. She
led them to the third.
“ ‘Madame Spindles, whoso brother was shot
as a sharp-shooter.’"
“The two Prussians shuddered. She led
them to the fourth.
“ ‘Madame Brown, who saw her old mother
murdered by the Uhlans.’
“The officers recoiled. She led them to the
fifth.
“ ‘Madame Conlmann, who—’

withdrew preoipitatefy, as if they felt suffooated
by the crape of the mourning garments around
them like a shroud.
“It was as if Nathan fled before the ansthma
of Jaoob.”
ThePablob Match—There wax an elderly
lady from Sogtr Hollow trading in Cobbet’s
store. Nelson street, Saturday. She had been
looking at the coffee and sugars, and was ex
amining some hair-pins by biting them to see
if they were genuine, when she stepped on a
porlor-match which was lying on thefljor. Tbe
explosion that followed so startled her that she
jumped to one side, and so doing strnck against
a barrel of ax helves and overturned them, lost
her balance, sought to save herself by clntohing
the show-case, but was too late, and went down
with the ax-helves, drawing a badly demoralized
show-ease on top of her, and nearly choking
herself to death with a half swallowed hair-pin.
On Monday the agent for parlor matches called
on Mr. O-bbett tosbow his goods, and was imme
diately pounced npon by that individual, who,
after km eking him down, dragged him ont on
the walk, acd held him while the clerk warmed
him with an ax-helve, and Mrs. Gibbet ponred
water on his waistband. Then Gobbet told hts
wife and clerk to hold him while he went in the
house for a gun, and it wsb during his absence on
thia missionary enterprise tbst the agent succeed
