Saturday Evening, March O, 1838.
tutorial Change.
Our friend, and late Associate, T. A.
Burke, Esq., has become connected with
the Savannah Morning News. Mr. Burke
it a man of considerable newpaper expe
rience, and excellent qualifications for
the duties of journalism. He lias our
bast wishes in his new position.
Gayoso Festival.
We acknowledge the receipt, through
B. 8. Bill, Esq., of the Committee, an in
ritation to the Inauguration supper, on
the occasion of the opening of the
flavoso House, Memphis, Tenn., on
Tuesday evening March 11th. We wish
we were there “right now.”
From what we saw of this Hotel,
when in Memphis, and from what the
press say of it we conclude that our
Memphis neighbors may well pride
themselves on the Gayoso House, which,
greatly enlarged has lately been opened
by Mr. Cockrell. The Gayoso may
»fely claim to be the finest hotel West of
the mountains ; and it would lose noth
ing by a comparison with any house in
the country. The furniture is, in every
respect, equal to that of the St. Nicho
las Hotel, of New York. The house
•an accommodate from four to five hun
dred persons.
Operatic,
The Havana Opera Troupe announce
to night as their last appearance in
Charleston. While it is true that the
patronage extended our Theatre this
season establishes very little claim for
such entertainments, we cannot forbear
expressing a desire that Mr. Marciiant
give his Augusta friends an opportuni
ty to gratify taste in a different line
from the drama with which he has fa
voted us.

Judge Jas. Hoge, of Lafayette, has
received the appointment of the Agency

The Ringgold Express is the name of
a new paper just established in that
thriving town by D. C. Sutton. It is a
neat paper and wc wish it success. It
will contain the sheriff’s sales of Wal
ker, Dade and Catoosa counties.
The Weekly Gazelle is the name of a
paper just started in Greensborough,
Go., by W. Iff. Jefferson. It is an in- j
teresting sheet and ought to be patron- j
Ised.
Early last week, the office of Messrs.
Patten, Coluns & Co., of Macon, was

A Jcu d'csprlt.
Some of the Charleston papers are j
indulging in hard words about a dispute j
whicli arose in reference to the citadel ;
emeute. It seems that the Standard]
mace some hits at the researches of the !
Cbu -ter in reference to mermaids, years j
age, to which the Courier replies by ad
mitting that it may have been unsuc
ces: ful in the article of mermaids, but
has been more lucky in hooking sprats.

Railroad Accident.
The Courier says that Daniel Duff,
a Scotchman, was run over by the
night express train on Wednesday I
night, three miles from Branchvilie, *
breaking a leg and arm. There had J
been a collision between some freight
• trains, and he had been left to keep up 1
signal fires, that the trains might avoid
the shattered cars on the track ; but he
had fallen asleep on the track.
CHaileg Mackay,
This distinguishing poet-editor deliv- 1
•rod his first lecture in Charleston last
night. The Courier in a lengthy notice
says “the lecture was devoted generally
to ‘Songs and Song Writers,’ and was a
literary repast of rare composition and
qualities.’’ There are troupes of those
who have read his charming songs and
lyr es, in our city, who would be pleas
ed to hear his lectures repeated in Au

Male Colleges In Georgia.
A writer in a late number of the Con
v slitutianalist deprecates the fact that by
our last census the number of pupils in
our colleges were only 480, while there
were 65,572 white male inhabitants
betweon the ages of ten and twenty.
The writer proposes that each coun
t ly in the State pay the expenses of
' six boys at some of the colleges;
K in return for which, each be re
quired to teach a given number of
years. This will secure the education
' of a fair proportion from the former
classes—and the writer urges the neces
sity of “making the State University in deed
, what it is in name," in order to afford fa
cilities for those who wish a University
, education.
, It is certainly desirable to improve
, our school system ; but it seems to us
i i that the State has already exercised a
wide liberality toward the colleges in
her borders, and if we had more acade
, mies, and less “universities” and “col
. leges,” male, female and medical, the
, rising generation would have much bet
ter advantages, and the number of chil-
I dren growing up in ignorance be di
minished much more rapidly.

From California.
The news from California by the
1 steamer Philadelphia, to New Orleans,
is unimportant. It contains the usual
chapter of accidents, violence and mur
‘ der, with here and there the shade re
lieved by evidences of {general prosper
ity and a prospect of social improve
ment.

, From most of the diggings the report j
is quite as favorable.

Very True.
Non-paying patrons of newspapers, j
are thus spoken of by an exchange.—
'Every won! of it is true. Wc have
j felt the effects of “call again,” “Can’t
I do anything for you this morning,” &c.
Well we live in hopes of a better time
coming. Tiie exchange says :
“Waggonscannot run without wheels
-boats without steam! bull frogs without
legs, or newspapers be carried on ever
lastingly without money; no more than
a dog can wag his tail when he has none.
Our subscribers are all good, but what
I good does a mail’s goodness do when it
j don’t do any good ? We have no doubt
I that every one thinks that all have paid
except him, and as we are a clever fel
low, and his is a little matter, it will
make no difference.”
, For the Cure of Whooping Cough
A correspondent of the New York
Evening Post furnishes the following re
ceipt for the* cure of the whooping
cough :
! The best kind of coffee prepared as
I for the table, and give a common drink
jto the child as warm as can be drank ;
1 and a piece of alum for the patient to
; lie as soon as it may wish. Most chil
jdren are fond of alum, and will get all
they need without being urged ; but if
; they dislike it, they must be made to
j taste of it eight or ten times in the
I course of a day. It will effectually
break up the worst case of whooping
cough in a very short time. To adiiltt
land children in the habit of taking
coffee, the remedy is good foi nothing.

3 [CONCLUDED.]
The widow Granger was in her ele
. ment at Saratoga. She never dressed
f younger, never was more gay and ani
| mated. She soon came to attract atten
■ tion, and before long there was quite a
. strife for the notice of the live young
f widow, as she was called.
Among these was Ned Tarbox, as we
1 have hitherto called him ; or, to speak
r more respectfully, Mr. Edward Tarbox.
Hewas well made and looking, and these
, go farther with a woman on the shady
1 side of thirty, than when younger.
After some skirmishing and show of
. coquetry, she acknowledged to Ned that
she felt an interest in him. “But,”
she continued, “ there is a bar between
5 US.”
5 “There is nothing that my love can
not surmount.” said the young man,
1 gallantly, pressing the widow’s unre
i luctant hand to his lips.
“ I am older than you.”
“ A mere trifle; I am twenty-three.”
“ And I,” said the widow, with
: charming candor, "I am twenty seven.”
“ Twenty seven ! And shall a differ
ence of four years seperate us ? Never!”
“ But that is not all.” '
“ What is there more, charming
widow?”
“ I—l have a child.”
Ned's fancy at once conjured up a
child of three or four years of age.
“Sufferme,” he said, with enthusi
, asm, to become its second father. It is
I a second father. Is it a girl or boy ?
“ How old?” inquired Ned.
This was an embarrassing question,
■ but Mrs. Granger was prepared for it.—
- She had a miniature of Mary, taken at
the age of three years. This she dis
played.
“You must judge from this,” she
i said.
“Itis a pretty face,” said Ned. “It
is very much like yours.”
Mrs. Granger tapped Edward with a
fan and called him a sad flatterer.—
I Thereupon he kissed the miniature, and
embolded to a still more venturesome
' act, next proceeded to kiss the widow.
; She resisted so effectually that he did
not suceed in kissing her more than half
! a dozen times.
| The same day Ned sat down and indi
! ted the following epistle to his father :
j “ Mr. Godfrey Tardox : Bear Sir, I
address you thus formally in accordance
! with our compact, the terms of which
you undoubtedly remember.—As you
j will, I presume, be interested to hear of
■ my welfare and success, I am happy to
) be able to inform you that I am on the
j eve of marriage with a wealthy young
| widow whom I first met here.—You 1
'will do my taste justice to believe that
she is handsome and accomplished. She
has been quite the belle here, and I
consider it no slight triumph that 1
have been able to carry her away from
so many competitors. Bhe is, to be
: sure, four years older than myself, and
is the mother of a little girl of three
years old she is her very image. There
is no obstacles to love like mine. In
-1 deed, I rather fancy the idea of becom
" ing a step-father.
1 The marriage will take place a fort
■ night to-day. A month hence I shall
* be at the Astor House, and should your
1 arrangements permit, shall be glad to
1 meet you there.”
* “ Ned, you sly dog, so you have been
‘ captivated by a widow of twenty-seven,
* have you ? Fie upon you ! Have you
no more knowledge of the world !
Catch me sacrificing myself that way !
| With a daughter, too! Absolutely I
1 shall be a step-grand-father. But if
■ you teach her to call me so, I will cut
, you off with a shilling. But Ned I have
not been idle. I have ingratiated my
self with a young girl of nineteen—
- none of your widows for me, and she
i has consentad to be mine in a fornight.
; Queer coincidence, isn't it that we
> should be married at nearly the same
time, without any communication with
I each other > She is handsome, and
’ what is quite as much to the purpose,
* rich. I accept your appointment, and
will meet you a month hence at the As
tor. An revoir.”
We will suppose the weddings to be
; over. I have always found that wed
dings are excessively stupid in the de
scription, howe ;er interesting they may
be to the parties.
Ned Tarbox and his new wife, whilom
the widow Granger, were the first to
j reach the hotel. Installing themselves
1 in a comfortable room, Ned privately ,
j left word to have his father ushered up .
! staii s as soon as he should arrive.
| The door was at length opened, and '
Mr. Tarbox, senior, entered.
“ Ned,” said he, “this is my wife,!'
and your stepmother.-'’
“And this,” said Ned, presenting |
the late widow, “is my wifb, and your ,
daughter-in-law.”
“Good heavens!” exclaimed Mrs. .
Tarbox junior, “ can I bolieve my eyes ? ■
My mother !”
"What!” was the simultaneous ex- ]
elamation of both Tarboxes.
“ Mary,” said her mother, in aston
ishment, “is it possible that you are 1
the wife of my father-in-law ?"
“So it seems, mother, and of course!
if follows that I am the mother-in-law
of my own mother.”
“And I,” said Mr. Tarhox senior,
“am the son-in-law of my own son.—
Ned please except my filial homage.”
“ But,” said the young man, puzzled,
and turning to his mother-in-law, “may
1 enqniie how old you are
“ Nineteen,” said Mary roguishly.
“And your mother is twenty-seven—
only eight years older. Most remarka-
I hie!”
“ Edward,” said the whilom widow,
* “ I told you I was twenty seven. So 1
i am, and was ten years ago. Can you
i forgive me?"
Who call resist a widow, more especi
ally if she is handsome? Ned could
t not. So ho freely forgave liis wife, who
l was at the same time his grandmother
- in-law, and never regretted his mar
riage. As there was issue by both mar
, liases, I letve it to a discriminating
i public to decide what degree of relation
ship exhisted between them, and wheth
er Ned's children, as bis father declares,
, ale really sisters of their own
grandmother. —Tree Flag.

JIT T He Great Problem
Solved I--UR. MOUSE’S INVIGORATING COR
j hTAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
! has lost the power of duly converting food into a
! life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single
J course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric
'; fluid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude
nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to
j the sufferer, while his digestive organization was
paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the
wholesome revolution created in the system, the
basis of activity, strength ami health.
; The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the
| acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux
ior ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter-
I rors, wakened by periodical fit's, threatened with
i paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that
terrible lassitude whicli proceeds from a lack of
j nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
! or disability arising from the unnatural condition
j of the wonderful machinery which connects ev-
J ery member with the source of sensation, mo
tion and thought—derives immediate benefit
j from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms,
j invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous
\ organization.
, Females who have tried it are unanimous in
1 declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that
j woman has ever received from the hands of
I medical men.
Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im
j mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite,
j While it renews the strength of the digestive
; powers it creates a desire for tho solid materia'
| which is to he subjected to their action. As an j
appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia.
| If long life and the vigor necessary to its en
jjoyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of
1 precious worth
1 Its b *neflcial effects are not confined to either ■
sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing!
• wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn !
man of business, the victim of nervous depres
sion, the individual suff ring from general de
hility or from the weakness of a single organ
i will all find immediate and permanent relief from
j the u-c of this incomparable renovator. To
j those who have a predisposition to paralysis it

GROVER & BAKER'S
SEWING MACHINES.
REASONS why the Grover & Baker
Machine is universally preferred for family
sew’ing:
i. ii is more simple and easier kept iu order
’ than any other Machine.
2d. It makes a seatn which will not rip or
ravel, though every third stitcl. is cut.
i d. It sews from two ordinary spools, and thus
ill trouble of winding thread is avoided, \vhil<
he same machine can be adapted at pleasure,
by a mere change of spool , to all varieties of work.
4th. The same machine runs silk, linen thread,
and common spool cotton with equal facility.
sth. The seam is as elastic as the most elastic
fabric, so that it is free from all liability to break,
in washing, ironing, or otherwise.
6th. The still b made by this machine is more
beautiful than any other made, either by hand
