The Weather.
The last few drizzly days have cast a
cloud over the expectations of those who
predicted that we were to have no cold
weather. The weather has been as cap
tious as a scolding wife—frowny, snap
pish. and uncomfortable. Vinter is
not to be “postponed on account of
the weather," after all, and you had as
well brush up your old overcoats, or
buy new ones, at once, for they will be
needed.

the conclusion of a well written article
on Cotton, says:
“ We believe that cotton will not get
above its present price, and we think it

Editor, in Bad Luck.
Some one recently entered an out
house, on the lot of the editor of tho
Newnan Blade, and cut the skirts from
his saddle.
The editor of the Griffin Union says
a similar trick was served upon him,
and thinks it must have been the same
man, as there cannot be more than one
person in the country mean enough to
fob an editor in these hard times.

We learn that the meeting in refer
ence to the Veto Message of Gov. Brov.-n
at Marietta, on Tuesday,was not attend
ed by any considerable number, and ad-;
journed to meet on the first Tuesday in
March.
We perceive the following officers
from Georgia in A. S. Johnston’s com

A short time since Mr. Cochran,
residing in the 17 th District of Clark j
county, was injured to the amount of
$2,000 or more, by the burning of his
gin house and crop of cotton and other
things.
We learn from the Reporter, that a
little daughter, about three years old,
of Mr. Norwood, near Hogansville, in
Troup county, was burned to death, on
Wednesday of last week, under the fol
lowing circumstances: Mr. Norwood
was making plow-stocks, we believe,
not very far from his residence, and had
fire at the place where he was at work.
Having occasion to step to the house,
his little daughter, who was playing
around him, took up gome shavings and
threw them upon the fire, in doing of
which her clothes took fire. She lived
until the next morning and died.
We are pained to learn, says the
Columbus Sun, that on AVednesday
morning a kitchen on tho premises of
Mr. Jacob Lewis, situated on the hill
about half a mile from Columbus, on
the other side of the river, was consum
edby fire, and melancholy to relate, two
negro children, aged about five years,
were burnt to death.
In Griffin. on Fiiday last, Mr.
Henry Coats came to a sudden death,
in a very remarkable manner. He had
gone into a small grocery store, and
while engaged in eating, undertook to
swallow a piece of beef, too large for
the capacity of his throat, and was
choked to death before medical assis
tance could be rendered.

From the Galveston News of Thurs
day we extract the following.
Two vessels are now loading at Gal
veston, with cotton seed for France,
where it is to be used in the manufac
ture of oil- An enterprise is on foot for
the establishment of a manufactory of
the kind at Chappell Hill, in Texas, and
others are talked of; but we are not ad
vised of the precise progress made. If
the oil can be made to answer for illu
minating purposes, the home market
in Texas will be one of the best to be
found.

POOR PILLICODY.
—o —
V FOUNDED ON THE POPULAR THEATRICAL
PLAY OF THAT NAME.
John Peter Pillicoddy was a seedsman
and florist in Southampton, England.—
- Within the shop where he transacted ins
business, were seeds, and roots, and
a flowers, without numoer, over which
Sarah, the smartest of shop girls. P r ®[’ 1 '
0 sided with mueh dignity. Behind the
d shop was a garden, with no endof plants
. and flower pots and trumpery. Within
this garden, Mr, Pillicoddy, watering
pot in hand, presented himself one hne
y “ Past six o’clock, I declare . he ex
claimed, looking at the clock through
s the open shopdoor; “ Td no idea it was
r so late; I mav say I thought it was ear
s lier- Upon my life, I don't know how
it is, but time passes so agreeably when
one happens to be married. I don’t
know whether that's the general opin
ion; hut my experiance—and 1 ha ve been
, married six months —warrants me, 1
. might say,authorizes me publicly to re
peat my observation, that time passes
so agreeably when one happens to be
married.”
; “ I’m glad to see you watering the
plants, sir; it begins to look like old
times again,” said Sarah, the shop girl,
coming to the door, and smoothing
. down her apron with both hands, as
. shop girll will.
"I certainly- went out into the grounds
for that purpose Sarah," returned Mr.
Pillicoddy, “hut by the time I had half
finished the job, suddenly I discovered,
. upon looking into the watering-pot,that
’ I had entirely forgotton the water,which
• water is, I believe, generally, if notun
i iversally, acknowledged to be an impor
tant auxiliary in the operation of water
ing.”
> “ Ah, sir,” sighed Sarah, with a des
, ponding shake of the head, ‘-that shows
j you we are thinking of something else.
I’d give a whole year’s wages to see you
‘ standing behind that counter again,
i with your apron on serving out ceeds.’
“ So you will, Sarah intime,” replied
Mr. Pillicoddy, briskly. “You wouldn't
grudge your master, your indulgent
master, a little occasional relaxation!"
” No ; but the little occasional relax
ation you speak of has been going on
! for tho last six months ; in short, sir,
I you've quits neglected the business.”
“I’m aware of it, Sarah. When I
married I put this question to myself—
and I put it seriously, Sarah —“Shall I
attend to my business, or my- pleasure?”
And I unhesitatingly decided in favor
of the latter and I felt that I could de
vote myself to my present career of in
nocent dissipation for the remainder of
my existence without a murmur.”
“You’ll excuse mo, sir,” persisted Sa- \
rah, “ but I’m afraid you indulge mis- j
1 sus a leetle too much.”
• | “ Perhaps I do," said Mr. Pillicoddy, I
witli the air of one perfectly content toj
1 let things remain as they were, whether j
• right or wrong. “ Perhaps I do, but I
can’t help it ; Mrs. Pillicoddy has such
a winning way with her. I assure you
i that her playful mannerof directing my
attention to a new shawl,or a new dress
in a shop window, must be seen to be
1 appreciated. And then,when I purchase
i the article in question, her style of say
ing ye’s—she says ’thank ye' as if she
really meant thaffk ye. Ah, Sarah,you
' don’t know what it is to have a young
wife!”
“ No—and what’s more, I’m sure I
never shall!” returned Sarah, trium
phantly, evidently much satisfied with
the reflection that it was morally and
physically impossible for her ever to
know anything of the sort.
“ Don't be sure of anything, Sarah;
there’s no knowing what may happen;
look at me; wasn’t I notorious for
my antipathy to the matrimonial
state ? ”
“ Yes, hut that was before you saw
Mrs. Pillicodddy. Ah,she certainly was
■ a blooming you ng widow—”
“Sarah!” ejaculated Mr. Pillicoddy,
with a start, and considerable elonga
tion of countenance; “how often have I
told you never toalludeto Mrs. Pilli
coddy’s former state. It’s painful to me
—distressing to me; the very word “wid
ow’ puts my tiesh all of a creep, just as
if there were several rakes being drawn
backwards and forwards over my body
--upaud down my hack, especially,”
“Well, I'm sure if Iliad knowu you
didn’t like her to he called a widow, I
wouldn’tjhavecalled herawidow. And
yet. if she hadn’t a widow you
couldn’t have married her. My brother
married a widow poor fellow’?”
i “What do you mean poor fellow’?”
asked Mr. Pillicoddy, sharply.
“Why, because he turned up again.”
“Your brother Tom?”
“No, t’other chap,”
“0, t’other chap!” said Mr. Pillico
■ dy, painfully interested. “May I in
quire who this individual you designate
as ‘t’other chap,’ was?”
“Why, the first husband. He was a
j sailor and everybody, brother Tom in
. eluded, thought him safe and snug at
r the bottom of the sea. But, as I said
j before, up lie turned for all that. Bye
. \ the by, missus’s first husband, Captain
- O’Scuttle, was supposed to be drowned,
wasn’t ho?”
• Supposed to be drowned!” exclaim
[ ed Mr. Pillicoddy. “ What do you
mean by supposed to be drowned ? He
. was drowned —very much drowned ; the
ship went to pieces in the chops of the
channel, and so did lie.”
i “But they never found him!” asked
. Sarah, with much affected simplicity.
“ No; he was so comfortably and en
tirely lost, that they never contrived to
t fish up the smallest particle of him.”
“That’s just what they say about
' i brother Tom s wife's first husband; but,
- nevertheless, as I said before —”
“Hold your tongue, Sarah!” shouted
' Mr. Pillicody, pushing her into the shop
and ejaculated, tramping about the gnr
■ den in a high state of excitement. “A
\ man universally believed to have loca
| ted himself, for the remainder of his
days, among the soakles and perriwin
-1 kies at the bottom of the sea, that man
; j ‘turned up again 1” Totally regardless
; 1 of the inconvenience thnt he must have
J | known would attend his re appearance,
! i that man calmly and deliberately turn
-1 led up again? Suppose my wife’s first
I | husband should take it into his head to
J follow the absurd example set by Tom’s
| l i wife’s first ? It wouldn’t bear thinking
j about—and yet the thing s impossible!
j I appeal to any one. Fifteen months
II at the bottom of the sea, aud then turn
;up again; he couldn't do if/ Then, on
the other hand, it’s just possible that
I, ho may be floating about still, clinging
j convulsively to the main top jib, or the
. jib main top, waiving his handkerchief,
I and franticul.y shouting for assistance,
| on the very summit of one of the masts.
e Sometimes I fancy lie may have been
,(•: washed ashore on some desert island,
where, at this very moment, he may be
wandering about like Robinson Crusoe,
with his umbrella, and parrot aud his
man Friday. By-thc-bye, wouldn’t
• Mrs. Crusoe have been warranted in
marrying again ? wouldn’t she have
• been perfectly justified in sittinajher
self down as the disconsolate widow of
thb late Robinson Crusoe, Esquire ? Os
n course, and so Mrs. Fillicoddy was pcrfect
f ly justified in considering that she had
is lost her Scuttle. And yet that wretch
fl ed mariner haunts me perpetually. I
f 1 dreamed about him last night. I
'' thought he came to my bed-side, stuck
c all over with sea-weed and barnacles,
8 with Neptune’s pitchfork in one hand
11 and his marriage certificate in the other,
and demanded his wife. O, murder lit
e won’t bear thinking of! I'll go and

A Royal Lady*
J Our lady readers will be interested in
- the following description of the English
1 ' Princess Royal, Victoria’s eldest daugh
' ter, from the pen of a correspondent of
s an Aberdeen journal:
e “With the remembrance, as if it had
been yesterday, of the boom of the guns
‘ which announced her birth, I was scarce
-1 ly prepared to find her a full-grown wo
, man, taller by a couple of inches than
I her mother, and carrying herself with
s the case and grace of womar hood! It
is no stretch of loyality or courtesy to
s call the Princess Royal pretty. She is
• perfectly lovely. The regularity of her
f features is perfect. Her eyes are large
, and full of intelligence, imparting to
t her face that sort of merry aspect which
i indicates good humor.
“ The nose and mouth are delicately
- and exquisitely formed, the latter giv
ing an effect of great sweetness. The
Princess is more like her father than
- her mother. She is like the Queen in
• nothing but her nose. In all other re
• spects she is a female image of her fath
i er. I should add as interesting to your
, lady readers, that she wears her hair
slightly off her forehead ; not pushed
l back in the Eugenia fashion, but brush
: ed latitudinally from the temples, and
1 raised at the sides above the ear in
bandeaus —(really the ladies must ex
■ cusemeifl am talking nonsense, for
1 \ I have not given that hostage to fash
ion which would enable me to speak
ex cathedra.) Well at any rate, the Prin
[ cess is fair enough to he the heroine of
a fairy tale, and the Prince Frederick
should consider himself a lucky fellow-,
for he is to wed this pretty girl on Tues
day, Jan. 2Gth.”

I Five thousand pounds were lately voted
by Parliament to Dr. Livingstone to en-1

of tlie liver Zambesi, and the southern
portion of the African Continent. This

done and done promptly. A like amount
\ has for years been solicited from the
[ Congress of the United States, but not

Facts About tUe Ocean.
j Lieutenant Maury, whose facts, gath

Burled Treasure.
1 A marvellous story is told of a great
treasure which lies buried somewhere in
the vicinity of Lorretto, California, ex-
I ceeding in value that of the famous
j Captaip Kidd or the island of Crocus,
j It runs in this wise :
r In the latter end of the last century,
say about the year 1790, an English
’ man,by the name of Jeremia Evans.set
tled there as an agent of the Spanish
’ crown, who was largely engaged in the
pearl fishery. He w-as successful far be
yond his most sanguine anticipations.
- The divers he had employed numbered
■ by hundreds upon hundreds, and the
s pearls he obtained were of the most
costly and precious character. Evans
l was undoubtedly the largest pearl ope
rator in the world. Ho sent a necklace
t to the Queen of Spain, about the year
1 1800, the price of which, it is said, was
e computed to he worth a million of dol
i lars 1 He collected his oysters from the
, Gulf Stream, and planted them in a
shallow fresh water pond in the interior j
During one of the severe storms which j
l almost annually occur on the gulf, and j
: which the Mexicans denominate cordonce
a on immense quantity of these pearl oys
e ters were blown upon the beacli ; these
he also gathered up and planted in his
I pond until, it is supposed, he had a
quantity of pearls equal in value to five
- millions of dollars, which he intended
J to take to Europe and dispose of at his
pleasure. Here he had machinery at
t work, something like a miner’s rocker,
, by which process he washed out the bi
valves, while the glittering and bril
-1 liant pearls adhered to the shell. These
5 peials he buried from time to time in
some unknown place. He sent many a
I ship load of shells to Cadiz and Havre,
-1 the proceeds of which more than paid
s j his expenses. The pearls he disposed of
•-1 in Parte, London and Madrid. Evans
a | died suddenly about the year 1810, and
s i with him perished all knoweledge of
e i the secret spot where lies butied the
■, j immense pearl treasure. He who finds
- j it will obtain a vast fortune,

SENATE.
The Senate passed the House bill to
supply an omission (caused by a clerical
' error) in the army bill of the last session,
making appropriations for the support

' amount was $460,000, and the bili pas

The Senate then proceeded to the con

when the President’s Message was re

Mr. Bigler, of Pa., moved that the

committee on Territories.
Mr. Trumbull, of Illinois, opposed

1 history, from beginning to end incon
sistent with itself.
’ He was followed by Mr. Toombs, of
Ga., who made an eloquent and ardent
; speech in favor of the ground assumed

~f£T Wood’s Hair Restora
tive.—This wonderful preparation is having an !
extensive sale in all parts of the Union. It is
one of the few patent medicines which are now
sold over the country, that are really what their
inventors claim for them. Wherever it has had
a fair trial, the result has been precisely as
Wood predicts. It lias never failed to turn the !
white hair back to the natural color, where the j
directions have been strictly followed, and in
nui> erous cases it has restored the liuir upon
heads that had been bald for years. It is not
pretended that it will make the hair grow in ev
ery case, but where it tails there is certainly no
remedy. The restoration of the hair has been
etlccted in so many instances where the case
i seemed utterly hopeless, that it is certainly

(IT Opinions of the Press.—
Wo take pleasure in referring to the virtue of
Davis’ Pain Killer. We have used the article
and found it valuable. The sale of ttys article in
the United States is beyond all precedent, as the
books of the otlioe will show.—Cincinnati Cbm
mercial.
Davis’ Vkoktablk Pain Kili.ek.—We first heard
of this medicine uuring a visit to the New Eng
land States, and being struck with the novelty
ofthe title, wore induced to make some inquiry
about it; and we were surprised to learn that it
was kept constantly in the houses of most ot the
inhabitants of the cities and villages where we
stopped, to be used in case of sudden attacks of
pain, burns, scalds, etc., and we heard it spoken
of in terms of high commendation, both by
druguistsand physicians.— Phil. Eagle.
Perry /Jew is 1 J'ain Killer.— it is a great plea
sure to us to speak favorably of this article
known almost universally to be a good and safe
remedy for burns and other pains of the body.
U is valuable not only for colds in the winter,
but for various summer complaints, and should
bo iu every family. The casualty which de
mands i'. may come unawares.— Chris. Ado.
Valuable Medicine.—' The sale of that remark
.Tbleau'i truly valuable preparation. Perry Davis
■ • ~ju Killer, is constantly ami rapidly increasing.
wring the past year, the demand lor this great
remedy has been altogether unprecedented.
• .icarcely a week passes by during which we do
not bear of some remarkable cure having been
performed, within the circle of our acquaintance
by the use of • Perry Davis’ Pain Killer.’—i'roe.
