—hi an arncle on tho itusdiau peasantry
the Molva observes that the chief peasant in
a village soui. times has more power than
any man in the empire except the Czar, flo
has the power for instauco, of ordering a
culprit to be dogged, a right which is deuiod
by law to any other public functionary or
citizen iu the empire. Further, a majority
of the peasant* iu a comnmuo can sentence
one of their lumber to be beaten with slicks,
aud there ts u » appeal against thd sentence,
and tho comumue can still seutencu a man
to bamshmout t > Liberia for life. Tbia sen
tence has been passed for such potty off att-
ces ae stealing a handkerchief or a little
honey, or opening a bran ly shop without the
par mission of the commune. Iu the Govern*
incut of Samara a mau was sentenced to bo
banished, together with Ins family. Shortly
aftor, however, tho Seuato, to whom the
case was referred, decided that the man
should be perm.tted to remain m his village,
on the ground that his health would not per
mit of his goiug to S.berta. The case of the
man's wife, however was not considered; and
the sentence was earned out, so far as she
was concerned, though she was innooeut of
any or .me, and had been dtrecied to go to
Siberia uk rely tc order that she should not
be separated from hor husband.
'How Two Gigls Ttjed Tabuing.’—The
New York Herald says: ‘How Two Girls
'Pried fanning (D. JLolhrop A Co.) is one of

effectual a means as can be resorted to
Their experiences are, we believe, founded
on faot. Dorothea Aiioe Shepherd and

A Oame of Bmat
Evidently a somewhat protracted game
of smut is going ou at the expense of
Hon. Samuel J. Pilden. During the last
presidential election the face of the ven
erable Samuel was blackened with an in
dictment for perjury and fraud in the
matter of tho return of bis personal in,
come for taxation, and although the yel.
low damp of years is discoloring that
official charge, it cannot be brought to
the test of trial. Tildeu’s friends say
trial is delayed aud postponed as often
as hs cornea forward to answer and de
fend himself. He has no chance to wash
off the smut.
His venerable countenance has also been
smooched by allegations tco numerous
to mention in reference to mysterious aud
unknowable railway transactions in the
West.
Moreover,even the unmitigated scamps
who bribed aud perjured him out of bis
election in 187C, have smooched him with
charges of operating in the same line t)
oountermine their villanies. Thencomss
a charge from Mr. Cyras W. Field of bad
{aith in Mr. Tildec in selling out elevated
railway stock at an unpropitioua time,
and without giving Field notice; and
npon the subject matter of this letten
Field makas a grave insinuation, to which
a correspondent of the World calls notice
ad follows:
“Mr. Field, in his statement to your
reporter, is alleged to have said, after
alluding to the fact that it depended on
the decision of the Court of Appeals
whether the otock would be of much
little value, ‘I then concluded that it
would be well, in case the decision of the
Court of Appeals was against us, to hav.
some strong legislative ally in the coDcern.
An 1 agaic, ‘X told him at the time that
if J was sure about tho decision of the Court
of Appeals, I would not want him or any
body else to go in, and he understood the
matter. That is the way ho came into it,
and now he has got $1,000,000."
“As a simple question of ethics,
woald, I take it, be just as nefarious ou
the part of Mr. Tilden to use his great
position to influence legislation from
such a motive as is alleged by Mr. Field,
us it would be to influence a court.
So it appears that a unanimous party
has gathered around him, the said Sam
uel, for the purpose of smutting the
visage of him, the said Samuel, to the
prejudice of his reputation as an honest
man. Tho times demand a lustration.
Let tho basin of investigation, the pure
water of truth and the soap of sincerity
bo brought to the rescue.
Beporti from Atlanta.
Every day Increases public anxiety and
distrust. Investigation calls for more
investigation, and, if one may credit ru
mor, it ia hard to find a sound spot any
where. The “reliable gentleman"'brings
new, strange and startling reports every
day, and it may be that for once the sen
sational may have put ou the sober ha
biliments of truth. It may well be feared
that the fast and expensive ways of At.
lints are so entirely nnsuited to official
responsibility ou small salaries, that a
quasi social necessity for larger incomes
has brought about a very general weak
ness in moral and statutory law. We
hope not. But “they say” the track of
investigation lies through a swampy
country, and nobody can tell what ho is
coming to next, or how long it will take
to get through.
OEUBGIA JPKKSH.
The (Treat Iron Boom.
The most lively topio in the Northern
and Western press just now is the and-
den, rapid and great revival of the iron
trade In tho United States, upon whioh
is prodioated something like a correspond
ing revival in all other trade interests.
As to ths iron boom, a Cincinnati dis
patch to the Chioago Tribune reviews
the situation as follows:
“Furnaoes that have lain idle for years
aro being put in blast, and ia some lo
calities rolling mills are running night
and day. In others they are rnn twelve
honra, and the men are paid for one and
one-fifth of a days’s wages. Dealers agree
that the advanoe of prioes ia fnlly eetab
lished. A leading Cincinnati Arm report
larger sales for Jnly than for any preoed
ing three months in the history of iheir
bnsinesd. They say there is a scaroity
iron in the market. Bvery manufacturer
of railroad supplies has more orders than
ho can fill, and some of the rail mills are
sold ahead for a year. Another enoour
sgiug feature, is that they now have vol
nuieer orders, where heretofore they have
hud to dram up custom. Still another
tho number of cash buyers. A great many
are di’ooantiag their bills ins’.ead of giv
g notes. Swift’s Bolling Mill has been
obliged to refute orders for rails at ad
vanced rates. They are running nigh
and day, but are behind in orders,
the mills, they say, have sent oat ciroU'
lars advancing prices. Mitchell, Tranter
A. Co.’s mill is six weeks behmd with or
ders, and running double time. The
Qlobe Bolling Mills report a similar aitu
ation of affairs. They think theadvanci
a prices permanent, and will soon go
further. The works at Pittsburg havo
sold up to their capacity for the rest
the year at prices that will net them
$500,000 profit for 1879. The steel mill
are wall filled with orders. The recent
advance in railway iron and spikes
also a promient feature in the situation
Leading manufacturers look for a heavy
n crease in the fall trade. The only
quarter from which danger is to be feared,
they say, is that the advance in pig iron
may bo overdone, as it was in 1873.”
CaTAWAMrus.—The most remarkable
invention of this or any other age, says
the Tribune, ia duly chronicled by the
Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch. It is based
upon the oleotrioal properties of the far
of cats. With a battery of 128 oats the
inventor snoceeded in generating a cur
rent so strong that it instantly polarized
all the lightning arresters and demaguet
ized all the switch boards on the way to
Omaha. The operators all along the
line were terror stricken, and rushed
from their offices. Eighteen hundred
and nine glass insulators were broken and
aa many polee shattered, aa it by light
ning,
A great deal more damage would
doubtless have resulted if the copper rod
over which the battery waa suspended
had not become suddenly red hot and
burned the tails off toe oats and let them
drop. When only a moderately strong
current of electricity is desired, it is ob
tained by densely populating the email
9:or of the cage, whioh is made of sheet
copper, that being the best condactor.
The eleotrioity tans generated chargei
the copper floor of the cage, and as it
cannot pass off to the ground through the
glass insulators it seeks its exit over the
wires that are connected by soldering to
each end of the copper plate. For gen
crating a powerful current, the cats are
carefully aud securely tied tail to tail in
pairs, and by the loop thus formed they
are suspended from a heavy insulated
copper rod that passes longitudinally
through the cage, to the ecds of whioh
are attached the telegraph or telephone
lines.

Savannah News: Yesterday morning
about 12 o’clock, an estimable young mar

out on some errand and determined to

rienced some difficulty in getting the wood
to burn, she thoughtlessly attempted to
accelerate matters by pouring kerosene
oil from a can upon the feeble flame.
The result was an explosion which shat
tered the oan to pieces,and the fragments
were scattered around the floor with the
fluid. The noise attracted the attention
of some neighbors, who hastened to the
house and foued ths lady prostrated on
the floor, badly shocked and frightened,
but, most wonderfully to state, uninjured.
Parties who visited the house aud saw the
wreck of that oau were impressed with
the belief that the lady’s escape from be
ing burned was a miracle.

One Explanation of the Cana
of that Ueorgta Moan tain Sink-
fas.
Special to the Courier.JournaLl
Gainesville, Ga., August 23.—The
mystery over the sicking mountain
still unsolved; unless the explanation
given by Sir. Stephenson, an old and ac
complished scientist, is the true one. He
has lived in the gold-bearing seotion ever
sines ths first white men oams here. He
says that he distinctly remembers that
about forty years ago a shaft of s mine
was ran nnder the edge of the monutain
and afterward abandoned. Later the wa
ter of the river, whioh ran near by,
filtered through into this shaft,
and washed away all traos of
It ia a very rapid, swift
mountain stream, and he supposes
that it has gradually washed ont the
shaft and enlarged the hole nntil there
waa a vast oha-m of a half mile long, and
fatly as broad and half as deep. He
thinks this washing continued nntil the
support of abont one-third of the moun
tain was eaten away, and it then tumb
led into the ohasrn. It seems almost In
credible that tbis could be trne, and yet
it is the only explanation offered. This,
Mr. Stephenson holds, would account for
the continued sinking of the broken
mass, as hs holds that the river is still
eating it away. Thousands of persons
have visited the scene, and many super
stitions fears have been raised on acoonnt
of the fall of the mountain. The whole
gold-bearing seotion is full of violent
streams, falls and casoades, and there is
some few subterranean streams of con
siderable size.

A Snettr-l'ured Canvas Ham.
Editorial Correspondence of Atlanta Dispatch.
While I was prancing over Main street,
in Gainesville, a man came up and said
in a kindly voice, “You’re a stranger,
but yOu drink.” Ho was a newspaper
man. First time I ever laid eyes on him,
’pon my word, but thero was something
about him that told me he was a quill-
driver. Hencequently I followed him a3

“What will yon testify?” asked ayonng
man behind the bar.
“A little sugar,” said I, as the man
laid a canvassed ham on the counter,
“There’s only one man in this town
who takes sugar in his’n,” the young
man said, as he poised the ham on his
forefinger and gave it a twirl.
Yon seem to think a great deal of that
meat,”, I observed.
“Ter bet ycr sweet life Ido. All the

is likely to hsve a very familiar acquaintance
with the standard authors, the authors who
are so much praised and so little read, aud
to be generally welt grounded in all eorts of
old fogy knowledge. The other night 10,ei-
heard a email party amusing themselves by

even the gentlemen joining In an : showing
a quite remarkable familiarity with the names

the three fates, and any number of heathen

ing to mind a yound friend of mine, a rhila-

eximination exacted of law students because
of his inability to give ths names of the

either in prose or verse. Well, these young

The Southern gentlemen have, I think,
less of what we eall “style” than the yonng
men of either New York or Philadelphia or
Boston ; that is, they do not cress as well
(the majority of them, indeed, dress abomi
nably,) and they have less of that oold ole-
ganoe of manner, the surface veneer, which,
while it gives exterior polish, does not always
guarantee innate kindliness and suavity.
But there is a peculiar warmth and frank
ness about them which ia very pleasant, and
in their intercourse with strangers, espec’al
ly, they set an example which I wish their
Northern brothers would imitate.

What la to Become of Liberia T
Charleston News and Courier.)
The prediction by the News and Courier,
more than a year ago, that the experi
meat of negro self-government in Liberia
would be brought to a conclusion before
its resalts oould be fully developed, seems
already to be on the point of fulfillment.
A letter reoently received from Clement
Irons, probably the best of all the emi
grants who embarked on the Asor, shows
that men of bis olass appreciate the weak
ness and ineffioienoy of the Liberian Gov
ernment, although, perhaps, they have no
definite plan (or remedying the evil. The
Repnblic is financially bankrupt, English
capitalists holding Us promises to pay

side of the cffioe-holders and their friends,
are restless and discontented under tlje
existing state of things.
The most powerful tribes of natives
scattered through the country have an
nounced their determination to secede,
and called npon the English Government
for protection. With no money, no cred
it, and no army on either side, a civil
war in Liberia would be merely a series
of guerilla fights, “bushwhackings” and
raids. Ia a contest of tbis kind it will

their property destroyed, and business
blocked. The natives are scattered about
tho country very much as the negroes
are here, and their uprising will inevita
bly bring ruinous disaster. Liberia has
no friend but the United States, and for
the United States to undertake an Afri
can war would be as impossible as it
would be ridiculous. There seems,
therelore, nothing to check the progress
of events which is hurrying the Black
^ Republic into the grasp of that great
power upon whose domain the sun never
sets.
A Hew Variety at Sweet Potato.
Mr. Dowse Brsdwell, writing from Sa
w-note Springs, in Florida, to his paper,
the Hioesvilie (Ga.) Gasette, speaks of
the “Providenoe Potato,” a new variety,
whioh bids fair to eclipse them all. He
says: “This variety of the potato, the
origin of whioh is remarkable, deserves
gome notice. A missionary among the
Indians in the Everglade* found a potato
vioe in an old field. From this single
vine be obtained potatoes enough to sub
sist npon and small ones for seed.
These he gave to a friend, aod in that
way the potato was iotrodnoed. Mr. M.
assures ns that from five potatoes thirty
bushels were gathered the first season. In
six weeks from the time they are planted,
potatoes large enough for table use oan
be obtained. When Lew, the taste is
very similar to the old yam, being very
sweet and destitute of ths tar of the
West India yam.”

Hair Vigor,
FOR RESTORING GRAY HAIR TO ITS
NATURAL VITALITY AND COLOR.
It is a most agreeable dressing, which
Is at once harmless ami effectual for
preserving the hair. It restores, with
the gloss and freshness of youth, faded or
gray, light, and red hair, to a rich brown
or deep black, as may he desired. By its
use thin hair is thickened, and baldness
often though not always secured. It
checks falling of the hair immediately,
and causes a new growth in all cases
where the glands aro not decayed; while
to brashy, weak, or otherwise diseased
hair, it imparts vitality and strength,
and renders it pliable. \
The Vigor cleanses the scalp, cures
and prevents the formation of dandruff;
and, by its cooling, stimulating, and
soothing properties, it heals most if not
all of the humors and diseases peculiar
to the scalp, keeping it cool, clean, and
soft, under which conditions diseases of
the scalp aud hair are impossible.
As a Dressing for Ladies’ Hair,
The Vigor is incomparable. It is color
less, contains neither oil nor dye, and
will not soil white cambric. It imparts
an agreeable and lasting perfume, and
as an article for tho toilet it is economi
cal and unsurpassed in its excellence.
