HAY 9. 1875. A Colorado tombitone remarks: He ™ yon nr. lie was lair. But the Injuns Bailed his hair. Hiissonies is the beat paid artist in France. He takes two years to paint a picture leas than a foot square. His la test work was this size and sold for $24,- 000 gold. A New Yobk thief stole a $1,000 dia mond ring from a jeweler of that city one day last week, and being arrested, ■wallowed thd ring. Tho Herald says this is one way of becoming a valuable member of society. A Nixa-giannii Boston man was lately riding in a street car, when a lady oppo site bowed to him. Ho retnrn'ed'tho bow, raised his hat, smiled sweetly, and was just wondering who she was, when she came over and whispered in his ear, "Oh I I'll fix you for this, old man!" Then he knew it was his wife. "Boss" Grant's "high particular” Boas Shepherd, of Washington city, has come to grief again. On Tharsday, the Grand Jury of the District of Columbia dismissed the charge against Chas. A. Dana, of libelling Shepherd, by the pub lication of certain articles in the New York Sun last summer. Chicago is swamped financially. The delinquent tax-list foots up $6,750,000, and the city is borrowing money to meet the deficits in its treasury by reason of the shortcomings of tax-payers, tint; worse than that, it is acknowledged that if all the delinquent taxes were collected they would not bo sufficient to pay the outstanding liabilities of the city not pro vided for in the funded debt. Sub was small footed, but very plump; he was largo footed, but gaunt; and he bad his boot-legs mode to fit. He wa gered her a pair of gloves that she couldn’t get his boots on. She gazed ecqrnfully at his splay feet, and greedily accepted. And then she tried to get the boots on. And then he didn’t have to get tho gloves. Of course, this happened in St. Louis. The Republican relates the story, and its ingenuity in explaining the lady’s failure is a pardonable exhibition of local pride. At a meeting of the Ohio Democratic State Central Committee at Coiumbns on Thursday, it was resolved to hold a con vention on the 17th of June. Senator Thurman made a speech during which he said tho day had gone by for carrying Ohio by stump speeches. Organization by townships was what was needed. He thought it apparent to every one that unless the Republican party can carry Ohio this fall, its fate is sealed, and if the Democratic party carry the Stato this fall, it would settle the question of party ascendancy in the nation. Another cove who thought to fill his pockets at tho expense of an editor, has hud a surprise. A dispatch from Spring- field, Massachusetts, says Willis Phelps’ $200,000 suit against the Republican, of that city, was concluded on Thursday, with a verdict for the plaintiff of $100. Sam. Bowles, Esq., editor of tho Republi can, had accused Phelps of putting $200,* 000 in bis pocket in manipulating a rail, road scheme,and compared him to Boss Tweed, of New York. Phelps turned to rend Bowles, but it seems he did not rend him very extensively. The value of the wedding gifts of Mile. d’Albol, niece of tho Empress Eugenie, is arid to reach the pleasant amount of $1,600,000. One of these gifts is a cameo ring which belongs to Charles V. Other little amusing trifles are eleven necklaces of brilliants. The Duke d’Ossuno, whom the young lady marries, is one of the richest personages of the Peninsula. Talking of weddings, there was an odd innovition upon established custom in Paris the other day, when & solo upon the violin was performed during the church ceremonial by a distinguished artist. Ip any of my lady readers, writes Jen nie June to the Baltimore American, are going to Europe this season and want any advice, I have a little to give them. Purchase a fine, soft, light “Golden Gate" blanket before yon start, and make it up as a wrapper, using the bordered ends for fronts, and cutting the back and sleeves out of the middle. The cost of it is trifling; the comfort immense. Also take a nice suit with you to wear when you get there. It is a great mistake to begin to buy at once, before you know where to go, or what yon want. Buy when you return. Gen. Frank Blair is steadily improv ing under the operations of transfusing healthy blood into his veins. He has now received three operations. The first time an ounce and a half was transfused; the second time a little less than four ounces, and the last time previous five ounces. The first two times he lay al most insensible and apparently uncon scious. The last time he watched the operation with great interest and articu lated a few words, which he.had not done for some time. He also moved bis para lytic arm, and a few minutes afterward fell asleep. His wife and family are l, presented to be greatly enoouraged. Similar operations have been performed recently on two patients in a St. Louis hospital, and in each instance the result is said to have been satisfactory. A- T. Stewart is famous for his dinner parties, which are usually given on Sun day. He has one of the finest wine vaults in New York, and brands of bran dy, port and sherry that no one else in the country can bofwt of. His table ser vice is magnificent. One silver dinner set, lined with gold, was made in London two years ago at a cost of $47,500. It consists of over two hundred pieces. Then be has a famous Dresden china set of two or three hundred pieces, in which no leas than seventy different colors are introduced. The china ia transparent, and on holding it to the light, the mono gram, " A T. S.” can be 9een like water- si irk in note paper. A Fatal Policy—Persecution the Poor* est of Arguments. By cable we learn that Dr. Falk, Min ister of Public Instruct on in Prussia, in troduced a tail into the Lover House of tbs Diet on the 1st instant, for the sup pression of religious orders in Prussia. It provides that ail religious orders shall be excluded from Prussia. Existing es tablishments are forbidden to receive new members, and their present organi zation must be dissolved within six months after the passage of the bilL Partial exception in made in favor of religions bodies engaged in the work of education, wbicb may prolong their ex istence four years, and of those whose object is the care of the sick, which may continue their organization, bntare liable to dissolution at any moment. Associa tions thus continuing are to be subject to the supervision of the Government offi cials. The property of the convents is not to be confiscated, but will be temporarily administered by the State. This wholesale proscription finds but few parallels in history, and is, indeed, most short-sighted and deplorable. Moreover, it will cause the fires of fanati cism to blaze forth again, and arouse pas sions in the human heart, which can only be quenched in blood. All the Catholics in Europe and Christendom will take sides actively or in sentiment, and renewed conflicts and convulsions may be reasona bly anticipated. Besides, it is to be feared that Chriatain charity will receive a serious set-back throughout the whole world, and bigotry and intolerance take .the places of brotherly lore and fraternity. This, above all things, is to be deprecated as a living refutation of the purest doc trines of Christianity, and the divine command that “ye love one another." How long will it require the nations to learn that propagandisin' by persecution and the sword are impossible, and even temporary ascendancy achieved through violence, is certain to be followed by a re action as potent as it is inevitable. In other words, to quote the apothegm of the ancients, "the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church.” In America, at least, we trust all Pro testants will prove to their Catholic fel low citizens by increased kindness and liberality, that religion 1s '• not a matter of brute force, bntof conviction and be lief. Let each sect hare equal privileges and full freedom io'proclaim its individ ual tenets, and the two-edged sword of the word of God, and irrepressible truth alone decide all controversies. That which is of earth, earthy, we know must perish. But the eternal purposes of God and the Gospel He has ordained will stand forever, despite persecution, and the ef forts of all the powers of darkness. Woe to tlie Victims of Tootli- aclie. One of their number, before leaving, assured the writer that every dentist in the city, save one, was bound for Cum berland Island. Having bored out, filled again, or extracted every ailing molar in tho wide extent of their practice, or better still, grubbed up the whole concern by tho roots, and planted equally ser viceable, but nerveless sets in their places, they now, like Alexander of old, sigh for new fields of enterprise which they may overrun and conquer. Hence this expedition against the fish es. And if they prove equally skillful in fingering the mouth3 of tlie denizens of the deep, the last one of them will ho landed on the strand. But now comes the question, who pays their fees ? Still, this is easily answered. These dental fishermen have faith, and, moreover, are very practical and literal in their views. Doubtless like their pre decessors of Judea, they will soareh-every mouth for a piece of silver. Well, when ice is made in midsummer, and a little piece of rosin can cvolvo gas enough to light a great city, it is not for us to af firm that the age of miracles exists no longer. But wo have'one'warning to ad minister, based upon experimental and crucial observation. Let them beware how they rummage the mouths of the ra pacious toads, whose name is legion in those waters, orsundry digits will be left in their insatiable maws. No chance for pay in their throats, however sublime may he the faith practically evinced. In the meantime, all ne.w victims of tooth-ache must fall back on laudanum and creosote, and pray for the tafe return of their deliverers, who can’t be served by their sole representative. Fine Wheat and Oats. Mr. J. C. Flynn, of Rutland district, has laid npon our table two magnificent bundles of green wheat and oats, fully beaded out and very promising. The heads are very long and promise to yield a plump and heavy grain. The oats are part of a volunteer crop of three acres, which came up after the stubble had been plowed in, and a turnip crop taken off. The yield will be very fine. Mr. Flynn produces these results from very poor land, enriched and recuperated. A tree lance in politics is apt to be come as disreputable a character as a free lance in war. It is so easy for an inde pendent voter to imagine that he 3ees reform on the side where office i3 offered to him, that his conscience grows un trustworthy in a little while, and after he has been on both sides of a question a few times he puts on the synic, and as sumes that all parties are alike to be de spised.—Indianapolis Sentinel (Dem.) If the editor of the Sentinel lives one thousand years and writes five columns every day during that time, he will never hit the nail on the head more squarely than in the above. We have watched the career of some of these "free lances,” and they invariably do just as the Sen tinel says: See, or pretend to see “re form” in the direction of the spoils. They boast loudly of their freedom from political prejudices, and repel most in dignantly the idea of being politicians, bus at the same time spend most of their lives practicing the politician’s arts— that is, if an office is in sight. And, strange to say, they impose upon some people otherwise shrewd and clear brained. The truth of the whole matter is just this: That as there are but two parties in this country, each seeking the most diverse ends, upon the accomplishment of which depends the life or death of liberty and law, so there can be no such thing as independence of both in the sense of seeking to accomplish practical results. In these days a man must be either Democrat, or Radical—the friend or enemy of good government. The farce of being independent in politics was played out when the Radical party took possession of the government. That act dug, broad and deep, tbe gulf between those who sought to save, and those who sought to destroy constitutional liberty and local self-government. Another Awful Tragedy at 8ea. Oar telegrams this morning are full of the details of another terrible diu*n*er at sea, by which, it is supposed, at least two hundred lives have been lost. The steamship “Schiller'’ of the Eagle line, plying between New York and Hamburg, ran oh tbe rocks off one of the Scilly group of islands on Friday night during a dense fqg, and at this hour—4 P. R-— we see no' reason to believe that the ex tent of the disaster has. been exaggerated. We hardly see how ~it bonTd have been otherw*se under the circamstances. The fog waa so dense, It is stated, as to ob scure the lights on the island, and thus the good ship ran right onto her doom. The Scilly group consists of some half dozen islands which lie in the Atlantic ocean southwest of Lands End, the south ernmost point of England, at a distance of forty or fifty miles. The Schiller was probably rounding this group to get into the English channel when the accident occurred. Oar night telgrams will prob ably. contain fuller details of the wreck. Apropos of this disaster, we find the following in the New York Herald of a late date: About two years ago the Eagle line of steamships was ushered into existence under au-picea which bade fair to bring fortunes to the merchants who estab lished it. The steamers were of the most approved models; a magnificent dock was built at Hoboken at a cost of $600,- 000, and the whole stock of the company was valued at $16,000,000. Many poor people in Germany were induced to in vest all their property in the concern, and it is said that Prince Bismarck indirectly speculated in it. The vessels plied be tween Hamburg and Hoboken, calling at Plymouth and Cherbourg each way. On Tuesday the Lessing, the last steamer of the line, sailed from the Hoboken dock, and the doit, with all the’ company’s property, has been offered for sale. I'he steamers are to be placed un der the hammer in Germany, and the Hamburg Steamship Company is to buy them for service on that route. It is said that many people have been ruined by this unexpected failure of the Eagle Line Company. Centennials. As the nation approaches its one hun dredth anniversary, these celebrations are daily becoming more popular, and will tend in no-little degree to educate and prepare the people, for the grand event which comes off at Philadelphia next year. Already, at Cpncprd and Lexington, the grouna has’..' been broken, and the cere- mdmer ar reported, could. not fail to arouse the old revolutionary spirit of ’76, and exert a soothing and annealing influ ence upon every heaatfT i ' For one we f£cvqr,the grand Centennial, and traatlt will'constitute a new era in American history, and form a departure for good in our national career. Still another glorious celebration will take place in old Mecklenburg on the 20th of May, in commemoration of tho first Declaration of American Indepen dence. The proceedings promise to he of the most interesting character, and will at tract thousands from every section of the Union. They will. be alluded to more fully hereafter. At present we simply subjoin an exact copy of that famous Bill of Rights : Declaration of Independence by the citizens of Mecklenburg county. North Carolina, May 20.1775. In conformity to an order issued by the Colonel of Mecklenburg county, in North Carolina, a CONVENTION, vested with unlimited* powers, met at Charlotte, in said county, on‘‘the nineteenth of May, 1775, when Abraham Alexander was cho sen chairman, and John McKnitt Alex ander secretary. After a full and free discussion of the objects of the Convention, it wa3 UNANIMOUSLY RESOLVED, I. That whosoever, directly or indi rectly, abetted, or in any way, form, or manner, countenanced the unchartbred and DANOEROUS INVASION Of Our BIGHTS. a3 claimed by Great Britain, is an enemy to this country, to America, and to the INHERENT and INALIENABLE RIGHTS Of man. II. Resolved, That we, the citizens of Mecklenburg county, do hereby dissolve tbe political bands which have con nected U3 to the mother country, and hereby absolve ourselves from all alle giance to tbe British crown, and abjure all political connection, contract or asso ciation, with that nation who have wan tonly trampled on our rights 'and lib erties, and inhumanly shed the innocent blood of American patriots at Lexington. III. Resolved, That we do hereby declare ourselves A FREE AND IN DEPENDENT PEOPLE, and are, and of right ought to be, a sovereign and self governing association, under the control of no power other than that of our god and the GENERAL GOVERNMENT of CON GRESS; to rthe maintenance of which INDEPENDENCE W6 SOLEMNLY PLEDGE to each other, our. mutual co-operation, our homes our fortunes, and our most SACRED HONOR. ... Abraham Alexander, Chairman. J. M. Alexander, Secretary. Then follow the names of the other signers, twenty-nine in number. Thus spake old Mecklenburg, from Charlotte, styled by the royalists the hornet’s nest of. America. Who can read-the stirring record with out feeling his cheek glow with admira tion, at the daring and patriotism of these gallant yeomen, in the heart of the old North State? A Ban Upon tlie Dimes. It is said that since the departure of the Apalachicola and Cumberland fish ing excursions, which embrace a large slice of the 7uiut ton of Macon, that por tion of the national fractional currency, yclept dimes, have vanished most myste riously from circulation. Once so plenti ful, they are now scarce and in demand. This curious fact is explained by the euchre loving propensities of the fisher men who, ignoring the enthusiasm of old Isaac Walton for finny prizes, go for the dimes. Happily, stringent rules, and gentle manly instincts -confine their ardor to ten cents a game. But when it is remembered how many sets will take a hand, and the length of their almost in terminable sittings, the scarcity of that fractional denomination of greenbacks need not be wondered at. Well it is the least condiment they conld use to spice their favorite pastime. JL Greet Contest Between Bareback Riders. Prom the Oakland Trinscript. April 21-3 James Robinson, the great champion bareback rider of tbe world, broke his engagement with Wilson, of Wilson’s California Circus, to ride in San Francis co against Charley Fish, a riding cham pion fresh from Europe, for $10.000a side, and the gold diamond studded belt of the world. Wilson has commenced suit against Robinson, the rider, for $50,000 damages, Robinson is the favorite with the San Francisco brokers, who, it is said, have staked over half a million dollars on the result. They are riding in Montgomery Queen’s Circus and Menagerie, and the great champion will have his hands full to getaway with Fish. The match is to be derided by vote of the audiences. No chancy fot ballot box stuffing on this oc- THE GEORGIA PRESS. ■Thr annual convention of the diocese of Georgia met at Atlanta oa Thursday, BUbop Beckwith presiding. The follow ing clerical delegatee were present: Rt. Rev. the Bishop of the Diocese, P. Fuller Babbit, D.D., Rev. S. E Barnwell, Rev. R. W. Barnwell, Rev. Samuel Benedict, D.D., Rev. Thomas Boone, Rev. William H. Clarke, Rev. Alexander I Drvsdale, Rev. William E. Eppes, Rev. Reverdy EstilJ, Rev. J.' Hardin Ueorjje,' Rev. Frank Hailam, Rev. John J. Hunt, Rev. William H.~ Hunt, Rev. John R. Joyner, Rev. W. P. Kramer, Rev. Henry E ' Lucas, Rev. G. D. E. Mortimer. Rev. Thomas G. Pond, Rev. H. K. Rees, Rev. James M Stoney, Rev. Van Lings, D D., Edwin G. Weed, Rev. William C. Williams, D.D., O. C. Williams. The. lay delegates present were Messrs. Clayton, Curtis, Goerard, Strong, R. de F. Lawrence, Wilcox, Burke, Underwood, Harpold, Noble, Parsons, Alexander, Moses, Hobbs, Edmondson, Pearson, Green, Andrews, Harold, Montgomery, Samuel P. Lawrence, Law, Blair and Riddon. We find this mysterious—and bob tailed—paragraph in the Atlanta Herald, of Friday s On the upward bound train on the Ma con and Western division of the Central railroad from Griffin, yesterday, were the Hon. A. H. Stephens, Col. Clisby, of the Macon Tklegrsfh and Messenger, and that fine old gentleman. Col. C. Peeples, of this city. As is usual with Mr. Stephens, he took what he thought the second class car, so that he could indulge in his pipe and conversation without offence to any one. Everything went pleasant enough, because nobody thought anything was wrong. Pretty soon an old blind negro man, with his wife, entered the car and seated themselves. Nothing was thought of this proceeding, and the Vice Presi dent, editor and lawyer imagined. A Griffin correspondent of the same paper writes as follows: The Teachers’ Association, although not as largely attended as was expected; nevertheless was a fair representation of Georgia’s pedagogues. It is evident to a casual observer that there is not that har^ mony and entente cordiale enjoyed between these brethren of the “rule and ferrule” as might be desirable. It is whispered around that the concern is controlled by a certain “ring” who insist upon pope bat Northern publications, as being .the only “complete and correct” series, being used, while others insist that there may be soipe good, even in “Nazareth”—or the South. We regret to see this differ ence manifested, and it will eventually redound to the disturbance of the Geor gia Teachers’ Association. If text books by Southern men are not good enough for Southern children, then it is timq Southern parents were made aware of the fact, in order that they may anticipate what sort of an education they may ex pect to receive! While it is a factithat the controlling spirits of, not only our most important institutions of learning are managed by people of Northern birth, all our associations and a majority of the agencies for school books are either of Northern birth or insist upon introducing into our public schools books by men of foreign extraction to the al most utter and entire disregard of the claims which our Southern authors have upon our section. We call no names, but leave this bare statement to the consid eration of those who have children to ed ucate. We must not be understood as inveighing agaiust those people who coma amongst U3 for the purpose of assisting in training our children; because, no doubt, they come with the loftiest emo tions and kindliest sentiments, but still they act and work as though nothing good can originate in the school book line outside of New England, and all at tempts of our authors to instil our pe culiar sentiments into the mind of the Southern youth are to be set aside to make room for other authors and publi cations. And so long as our own leaders in the matter of school-room education; tamely submit to be dragooned and forced into the adoption of books which, if not positively repugnant in sentiment, are-ut least so, by surrounding circumstances, so long may we expect our children to grow up with ideas which are at variance with the traditions of our elders. We find the following in the Chronicle and Sentinel, and take great pleasure in giving it our hearty endorsement. The Richmond Whig nominates Col. Albert R. Lamar, of Georgia, as a candi date for Clerk of the House of Represen tatives. As the Southern Democrats will not urge any man from this section for the Speakership, the South should be al lowed to name the Clerk. Colonel La mar was Secretary of the Confederate States Senate, is a gentleman of high standing and great ability, and is an ad mirable selection for the position. The same paper says the case of Miles G. Dobbin vs. the Augusta Insurance and Banking Company et al. was tried in Richmond Superior Court on Thursday. Dobbins sued the hank, its directors and certain stockholders “ to recover the full value of certain bills of said bank, held by complainant and amounting in tho aggregate to $29,000. The complainant alleged that if these bills were issued in aid of the rebellion, or other illegal pur pose, it was done without notice to him and without his knowledge or consent. His ground of complaint against the Di rectors was, that they mismanaged the assets of the bank, sold specie for Con federate money when the same should have been held to meet the bills, and paid out dividends to stockholders during the suspension of specie payment, in ex cess of seven per cent, per annum con trary to law as prescribed in the act of 1857, which first authorized such suspen sion and the general features of which were never repealed. He asks that the stockholders named in the bill be com pelled to return the amount of dividends in excess of seven per cent, during the time of such suspensions of specie pay ment.” The jury found for the defendants. The Augusta Constitutionalist says “the experiment of lighting buildings by gas made of resin, which is now creating some excitement in Macon, cannot be called a novel one, except, it may be, in the South. Twenty years ago, we re member that Georgetown College, D. C., was thus illuminated.” Judge Bradley, of the Federal Su preme Court, has arrived at Savannah, and presided in the Circuit Court on Fri- day. We quote the following from the Sa vannah Advertiser : Speaks Well —A gentleman was pick ed up Wednesday night, on the streets of Savannah, drunk, and at the time he had on his person over $1,000 in money and a gold watch and chain, which he was de lighted to find all in order and correct when turned' over to him yesterday morning by the officers of the barracks. "Speaks well” for who—the police ? A Blackshear correspondent of the Savannah News writes that Mr. J. W. Brothers, of that place, shot and killed a man who was attempting to Butlerize his house last Tuesday night. Wx clip as follows from the Columbus Enquirer-Sun of Friday: Five Hundred Dollars in Gold and a $700 Piano.—Mr. J. AL Weaver, of Talbot county, whose house was blown down in the late cyclone, had $500 in gold. He has not heard of a cent of it since the blow. Tne house, in which it was, was torn to pieces, as well as ths| of Mr. M. Y. Wiison. Besides his g Id, Air. Weaver had a $700 piano, which he had just bought, torn to pieces. S-h *' Losses in Talbot County.—Judge J. F. Pou, who has just returned from Tal bot Talley, reports the losses ,by the storm in that vicinity hare been exag gerated. The only white deaths he was able to hear of were those of Joe Ken dricks, a white boy, and Airs. Kennedy. In addition, four or five negroes were killed. Force of the Wind.—In Talbot county last Saturday the storm blew a negro woman two hundred and fifty yards. The fall broke her neck and she died in stantly. t | DasTBOCTIGH or Churchxs.— The storms of the past two months have been very destructive to the country church buildings. We believe we have heard of eight in the counties of Uurrii, Talbot and Stewart which have been swept away. In Talbot valley last Saturday, two that were standing close to each other—a mis sionary and anti-missionary Baptist— were scattered to the four winds. The storm in Stewart county, on Monday, did not spare the churches. Beulah church (Baptist)—one of the best framed coun try churches in the section—was tom to pieces. Prefaring for the Next.—People in the vicinity of Waverly Hall, Harris county, are preparing for the next cyclone by digging pits in the earth. There are said to be some nineteen or twenty of them ready for tbe next blow. The Times says the storm Monday night did great damage to the fruit in and around Columbus. In one orchard tbe hail beat off at least twenty-five bushels of young apples. Tornado Incidents.—The same pa per says: Several incidents are reported of the fearful tornado which passed over Stew art county on last Monday night. Yes terday we heard from good authority that a most remarkable circumstance oc curred at the residence of Mr. H. M. Jenkins. Mr. Jenkins is an old man. He and his wife slept in a corner room of the house. The storm made a general havoc of his place. All his out-houses were destroyed and the dwelling unroof ed. , It is asserted by an eye witness that a plank from the roof was blown into the house with terrible force and driven into the‘ wall'just over Air. Jenkins and his wife. The plank was held so firmly in position just above them that it was impossible for them to rise. They were pinned down. so tightly that they lay there until their neighbors found them in this'position and broke the plank off so that. they could rise. The follow ing incident of childish simplicity and innocence was related to us by a gentle man from Talbot county: When the hail storm of Monday was approaching, the roar of the disturbed elements could be heard several minutes before the fall of tho hail. Mr. James Marshall, of Talbot county, who was with his family at home, observing that his wife was somewhat alarmed—she, doubtless, sup posing, as many did, that it was another cyclone—asked her not to be alarmed, as “the Lord rode upon the storm.” His little daughter, about four years of age, replied: "Yes; but I am afraid the thing that the Lord rides upon might throw him.” The La Grange Reporter tells the fol lowing tornado story, on the authority of a negro who “norated” it at West Point: It blew him from his mule, ho said, and as he went off he caught a pine tree with a death-like grip; hut this availed nothing. The tree was twisted up by the roots and blown nearly a mile, with him holding to it. When he recovered his presence of mind and picked himself up, he found he was not hurt; his coat was buttoned and his shoes were tied, just as they were before the storm struck him; brii his socks and undershirt were gone. “Now,” said he, “what I want ter know is what's dem socks and dat 'ar shirt?” The West Point Press announces the death at Austin, Texas, last Saturday morning, of Dr. Hendley V. Callaway, late a well-known citizen of Lee county. The Bainbridge Democrat says the "buffalo gnat” has appeared in that county in largo numbers and are very annoying to stock, though no deaths are yet reported. We learn from the Greensboro Herald that Mercer High School at Penfleld has seventy-five students. Also that land in that county averaged seven dollars per acre, at Sheriff’s sale last Tuesday. The name paper has the following con cerning a former citizen of Macon: A letter from St. Louis, Ato., conveys the sad intelligence, that Rev. Homer Hendee i3 still in a very critical condi tion. Should he survive, it is feared that his mind will be a wreck. The Griffin News says on last Tuesday morning, Mrs. .T. J. Harper, of Zebulon, while sitting alone by her fire, was at tacked with spasms, and fell over into the fire insensible. No one was present, and the poor woman lay with her face upon a bed of coals, until a servant came in and dragged her mistress out of the fireplace. Dr. Green was immediately called in, and everything possible was done for the poor sufferer. Her right eye is destroyed, her nose and a portion of her tongue very badly burnt. In fact the face and head were literally broiled upon a bed of live coals. There is scarce ly any hope of her recovery. From the Hawkinsville Dispatch: From the 1st of November last to May 1st, 880 tons of guano valued at $48,480 passed through the depot at that place. From September 1st to May 1st, there were shipped by rail from Hawkinsville to Macon and Savannah, 10,500 bales of cotton, of which Macon received only 263 bales, showing a great falling off in the shipments to the latter place. Corn is selling at $1 30 and $1 35 per bushel at Hawkinsville. On time till November 1st, $1 75 to $2. And yet some folks wonder why it is Georgia farmers are getting poorer every year. Mr. Arthur Mock, next to the oldest citizen of Pulaski county, died Tuesday night, aged 98 years. He was a soldier in the war of 1812. The Dispatch is informed that Wiley Byrd, of Coffee county, made last year three hundred bushels of rough rice, and that he ha3 thirty acres in cultivation this year. Three-fourths or more of the rice used in Irwin and Berrien counties is grown by the farmers, and this is one of the secrets of the pecuniary independ ence of these people. Still Another Centennial. Old Ticonderoga, the fortress made famous by Ethan Allen’s exploit, next come3 to the front to celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of that event on the 10th inst. A dispatch to the World, dated White Hall, May 4th, announces the following programme: “In the name of the Great Jehovah and the Continental Congress.” Centennial at Ticonderoga, Monday, May 10,1875, commemorating the cap ture of the fort.

Among the many wonderful things which are to be introduced into “Don Qul- chotte,” is a flock of sheep, which brows ing and bleating in the meadowq, are to be cloven by the trusty sword of the Knight of La Mancha. These sheep, which have already arrived into “proper- i ty,” are said to be marvels of mechanism. ( THE BEECHER-TILTOS TRIAL. Bowen the Stand—He Cnntmdlcts Beecher Several Times. A New York special to the Cincinnati Commercial, of Thursday, has the follow ing concerning Bowen’s appearance on the stand the day before and what ho said. His evidence seems to hit Beecher heavily: ... It was Bowen who told Tilton the adul terous stories about Beecher, who carried Tilton’s letter to Beecher, who was the mover in the early intrigue, and who ceased not in hia operations till they cul minated in.the,tripartite treaty. We have had the whole volumes of testimony-dor* ing the trial about Rowen, bis sayings, and doings, now and then, here and there, audit has been fearfully contradictorv and wholly unsatisfactory. Bowen was denounced by Tracy, defied by Beecher, and outlawed by the defense, and Bowen has been tho central figure of horrible stories connected with both Beecher and ’Klton, that harts not appeared in the trial, affecting ladies, related to him in various ways. Both sides have feared and despised Bowen, but now, at last, we are having Bowen himself. Bowen is about sixty, with a full gray beard, a rim of gray hair round his head. Hia eyes are small, and at onco keen and dull. His forehead is narrow, but ob- trades prominently. . He is exceedingly lean in body and face, and his facial bones obtrude through his dry skin, so that you see his outlines like those of a skull. His looks aro really Mephistophilean from the bare head down over the long, narrow face to the peaked beard. As he sat in the elevated chair and gazed around the court room, there was a sense of pain in his face, as though he were suffering from some fatal disease. Bowen’s voice is thin, but he spoke loud enough to be heard all over court. His testimony was both important and sensational. It bore very hard upon Beecher, at whose church and with whom he took the communion of the sacrament last Sunday. He contradicted many points of Beecher’s evidence, and threw doubt over many others. He cave a new version of the original scandal interview. He told of the tripartite treaty in a way confirmatory ; of Tilton’s evidence. He testified about sundry matters in contra diction to the evidence of the Beecher witness. Immediately after a few pre liminary questions, Bowen began to con tradict various details in the evidenbe of Beecher. He denied oue of Beecher’s allegations, two of them, throe of them, and as soon as Evarts saw the tendency of his testimony, ho began to object to each of. the questions, and tbe movement of Evidence was much interrupted by ar gument. Bowen contradicted Beecher for the fourth time and the fifth. ‘ The business began to look exciting. Porter, who has not opened hi 3 mouth for two months, began to take part in the melee on the Beecher side by putting in a few words now and then. Bowen went on contradicting in detail the sworn asser tions of Beebher. Each of his denials, which were explicit, and delivered with sharp emphasis, caused a new sensation. Beecher’s oounsel .were amazed. The speotators were agitated. Tilton, Moul ton and Carpenter, who sat closely to gether were in glee. The blood rushed to the face of Fullerton, Bowen’s exam iner, as though he were about to faint, upon whieh the Judge asked him to take relief by sitting down. We sat in hush ed silence, as we used to do during the time when we had startling revelations. Beecher himself was not present in court. He has been absent since the forenoon of Monday. His wife, hjs brother, his daughter-in-law and other of his rela tives were present.. The details thus far given related to the.famous interview of December 26. The Beechar party expect to see him badly damaged on the cross. Bowen had carried in his pocket every document that was required, and produced them as they were called for. The Brooklyn Argus, same date, com ments as follows upon Bowen’s testi mony : If we remember correctly, Beecher ex plained his grief and letters by his con viction that he had done 'futon an injury by advising Airs. Tilton To separate from him, and by hia advice to Bowen by which Tilton lost his editorial position. Bowen swears Tilton had been dismissed from his editorial posit ion prior to any conversation on the subject with Beecher, and that Beecher did not advise him to discharge Tilton. Bowen swears the paymont of $7,000 by him to Tilton had nothing whatever to do with the settle ment of the scandal difficulties. Tho de fense set up the theory that Tilton wrung that money out of Bowen by threatening to publish the scandal. Southern Baptist Convention.

Correspondence New York Times.] Yesterday, at the Shebra Garden, four handsome turnouts—neat carriages and blooded horses—attended by outriders, guards and enuchs, drove up, and from each alighted two elegantly attired ladies from the Khedive’s harem. Those ladies are not limited in any expense of display, dres3 or luxury in equippage or palace, in which they choose to indulge. If they want a palace refurnished they have only to express the wish. The Viceroy ha four wives, the number permitted by the Koran, and these have separate establishments. He owns between four hundred and fifty and 500 odalisques, slaves, or concubines, as you may wish to call them, some of them beautiful Georgians, re ported to have C03t over A!2,<XK>. This portion of his family is bestowed in more than one palace, and they are changed abont to suit his convenience or accord ing to their whims. He has forty pal aces ; some of the lesser ones up the river have cost $500,00u, and those in Cairo much more. Many of them are, of course, unoccupied, and going, buildings and gardens, into shabby decay. Many of the new ones only receive flying visits. He is now building three fine palaces on the other side of the river, beyond the Gizurch. One person can imagine the outlay for all these palaces, pleasure gar dens, and harems as well as another. Coughs.—The London Lancet says: “Anodynes, narcotics, cough mixtures and lozenges are practically of no good, but too often increase’ the debility and hasten the fatal end. The best method of easing a cough is to resist it with all the force of will possible, until the accu mulation of phlegm becomes greater; then there is something to cough against, and it comes np very much easier, and with half the coughing. A great deal of hacking and hemming and coughing in invalids is nervous, purely nervous, or from the force of habit, as is shown by the frequency when thinking about it, and the comparative rarity when the per son is so mnch engaged that there is no time to think about it, and the attention is compelled in another direction.” MICHIGAN’S HUMOKIST. The strange History of Charier Lewis _A Perverse Corpse—How It Feels to be Blown I p. From the New York Sun] Charles B. Lewis, of the Detroit Free Press, is about thirty* three years of age. His native place is Liverpool, Mcnlina county, Ohio, about twenty-five miles from Cleveland. Hia father was a farmer, and afterwards a country merchaut Young Lewis had such common school education as the place and pcrio.1 afford ed, and he worked about homo until IS56, when he followed bis bent and struck out into the world. He tied up drst in Lan sing, Michigan, and entered tbe office of the Journal and Democrat, being then about fourteen, os printer’s devil. .He reached the dignity of a case, and in time became an assistant to the local editor. He was so employed when the war broke out. He was one of the first to enlist in Michigan, and served at the first battle of Bull Run. At the close of two years’ service in an infantry regiment, he re- unlisted in a calvary regiment from the same State, and after tbe end of the war, served with this regiment fighting In dians. He was mustered out a lieutenant, and returned to newspaper work as local of the Journal and Democrat at Lansing, and he also worked for some time in tho same capacity on tho Pontiac Jacksonian. In 1868 he struck his tent again, having got a situation os local on tho Maysriilc (Ky.) Bulletin. At Cincinnati he took passage on the steamer Alagnolia. Soon after the steamer started from her wharf Lewis retired to change his clothing, and while he was in his stato room tho Magnolia blew up. and Lewis, who had so far accomplished the object of his retirement as to remove bis clothes, was surprised to find himself moving skyward with a velocity that would have been creditable to a shell from a mortar. The boat was about two hundred feet from the Ohio shore. Lewis came down so near to it that a woman who stood on the b&ak seized his hair and dragged him from the water. He had a hole in the back of his head (it is there yot) which had been made by a bolt head with which his own head hod come in contact, and what the horrified spectators thought were broiu3 (and Lew is himself is inclined to think so) oozed from the hole. Picked up for dead, he was loaded with other dead and wounded on a tug for Cincinnati. Hia body was grimy with coal dust and burns. It was taken for that of a negro, and thrown into tho dead cart and carried to the hos pital preliminary to burial. After it bad Iain with the others three or four hours, some horror hunter, whose fancy led him to a closer inspection of tho dead, an nounced to less inquisitive bystanders, "Loot a’ here. This nigger’s got a white man’s hair.” Then they dragged the unique nigger from the pile, tried a little soap and water on him, and found a white man. So they washed him all over, and he speedily rose to the dignity of a cheap shroud and a separate bed in a hospital ward. This was a corpse prolific of as tonishing changes. It not only changed from a negro into a white man, but a few hqurs after they had scrubed it up it changed into a live man, or rather a half live man, for consciousness did not return for a long time. Then everybody took an interest in him, and the doctor gave him the most careful attention, seeming to consider it a point of personal honor to beat Death in the struggle. The Cin cinnati reporters described him. and that brought relatives and friends. Ho hov ered for many days between life and death, so nicely balanced was tho scale that a breath might have blown him either way. On the fourteenth day ho grievously affronted everybody but the doctor by coming regularly to life in tho orthodox fashion. He awoko out of a curious dream, in whieh he thought ho was on a steamboat that carried a travel ing circus. He had a seat on the back of a rhinoceros, which tho circus men claimed to be a fine specimen, but Lewis inspected the animal and dis covered that it wn« dead, a stuCcd rhinoceros made of leather and sticks, and a gross imposition on the public. Rubbing the beast’s back in further in vestigation he awoko to find himself sur rounded by an admiring throng of men and women, who welcomed him back to life. For weeks it wa3 believed ho would lose one of his eyes, but it wns saved. It was forty days before ho could walk, and his legs still show the marks of tho ex plosion. He had started from Lansing with two suits of clothes and ninety dol* lars. He was naked when he was blown up, and a ring he wore was stolen before he reached the hospital. The only thing he recovered of his original outfit was his Sunday coat, which was fished out of the river with its tails blown off. He went back to Michigan in Afay, 1863, and standing at a case in the Jack- tonianoffice composed, “out of his head/' and set up the article that first drew public attention to him as a humorist. It was entitled, “How it Feels to bo Blown Up—A Printer’s Experience.” It made about half a column of brevier, and it went the rounds of the newspaper press. A few months after this was printed Mr. Lewis went back to his first love, the Journal and Democrat, as local editor. He sued the steamboat company for dam ages, and while in Cincinnati on this bus iness occurred tho well-remembered col lision and burning of the steamboats America and United States. Mr. Lewis reported the disaster for the Free Press, his first contribution to this paper, and he followed it with two or three more, all pure news. The editor of the Free Press thought him capable, and sent him to Lansing to report the Legislature. The session closing, he went into the Detroit office, and did miscellaneous work until the next session of theJLegislature, when he was again sent to Lansing. After that session he returned to Detroit, and has since remained there.

Amid the excited state of affairs which is prevailing now in Europe, we can ex claim, like the ancients, “Di omen aver- tant r" when reading the telegram rela tive to the health of the Pope. We could warmly say, indeed, “Let the gods avert the presage of evil!” for the demise of Pius IX. would be in the Old World tho cause not only of another “great schism” like that in the fourteenth century, but also the sign of international war. In the middle of April, Prince Bismarck, during the passionate speech ho deliver ed as an answer to the Deputies of the Chamber, Herren Bruehle and Reiach- ansperger, revealed hia plans to defeat a free and lawful election of the next Pope. On three different time3, during his diatribe, the German Chancellor spoke with contempt of Pius IX., as “being only an Italian elected by Ital- iins,” and whose supremacy should not be acknowledged, even in religious mat ters, by the German Catholics. It may be safe to imply again, os we often have done, that Bismarck wants to oppose the rule whieh, though not officially existing, is still followed ky all conclaves, that is to choose always the Pope from among the Cardinals of Italian nationality. This rule was adhered to, after the election of French and German prelates to the Pa pacy had incited th* jealousy of other European nations, aai led to religious schisms and political wars. Prince Bis marck has therefore, indirectly though strongly, declared that he will oppose the election of an “Italian Pope,” after the death of Pius Nyith. He has still gone further, when In the same speech, he declared that tt^ pontifical supremacy as it is understood cow, since the adoption of the infallibility dogma, could not End would not be tolerated in Germany even from a Pope of ?russian nationality. It is eonquently bejtnd any doubt that tbe death of Pius It will bring trouble in Europe, unless th» suc cessful candidate for tha Papacy fcouid be not only a German bnt moreover a German quite devoted to Bismaiek’s ideas. Let us hope that the alaroing news relative to the Pope’s health rill be soon contradicted, and that the strug gles now looming up in Europe will be averted for some years to come.—Nm York Commercial Advertiser. fa ib fovor < tareu.
