Xf there is one condition more in- j * dispensable than another for the enjoy-1 * ment of life, that condition is health, and: * that the Americans as a people do not | 1 begin to realize the obligations due to j them selves in thisrespect, let the feeble! persons around us testify. i Prof. Foweer, on last night gave one j of his practical lectures to gentlemen j alone, every man in Augusta ought to i' have been there. On Monday there will he one more j opportunity to hear him while in An-j gusta. The subject will be Matrimony, liadics and Gentlemen are invited to at tend with the assurance that they will receive hints as to courtship, facts as to Marriage, and principles as to life and its duties which are of inestimable val ue to all: *.<►,. Concert l>y Mrs. Annie T. Sholl. Our musical readers will be gratified to learn that we are to be favored with a grand entertainment from two such artistes as Mrs. SllOl.l. and Prof. Viewer. They are both citizens of Savannah, and the Republican, in alluding to their in tended tour, says: “We learn it is the inteniion of our accomplished towns woman, Mrs. Annie Sholl, to make a tour, at an early day, through some of the neighboring cities, for the purposeof giving a series of vocal and instrumen tal concerts in each. Without a .wordl of solicitation on her part, we would j take occasion to say a word of introduc- 1 tion to those who are unacquainted j with her extraordinary musical powers: “Mrs. Sholl has a voice, which, in sweetness, flexibility and compass, is not excelled, even by those who have filled the Union with their praises. She was a pupil of Dr. Hodges, and has cul tivated her rare talent with great assi duity and success. We feel no hesita tion in pronouncing this judgement and leaving her to verify it before any intel ligent American audience. “Mrs. Stole will be accompanied in her professional tour by Mr. Cake \ ie- : ■weg, an eminent pianist, who is, him self, a master in the art. We cheerful- J ly commend them to the kind atten tions of the press and public.” The Mornimj jYcii’S says : “Welearntliat it is tlio intention of Mr. Vieweg and Mrs. Anrie T. Sholl to give a vocal and instrumental concert in Augusta next week. To the Savannah public it would lie unnecessary for us to say any thing in commendation either of tire musical talent of the gentleman or the vocal powers of the lady. XV e may, however, say to our Augusta friends that both are of a high order. Mrs. I iSholi possesses a pure mezzo-Soprano i voice of rare compass and surpassing sweetness with 0. thorough cultivation. Both us a vocalist and as a lady she enjoys the esteem and admiration of our public, whose good wishes will go 1 with her on her professional tour. Mr. Vieweg is a musician of the highest at- j tainments and amost accomplished mas-1 ter of the Piano. We commend them 1 to the favorable regard of our Augusta friouds. Lottery License.

At one o'clock .to-day it was 25 feet Water Works. Those citizens, who depend upon Hy drant water, furnished by one of the tine of logs that convey the water from the 7’urkni-U Spring, have been much troubled tins winter,by the supply of wa ter gradually,diminishing in quantity. At last the water failed entirely, and upon investigating the cause, it was found that the root of a pine tree had ’ penetrated at the end of a log, and in creased gradually in size, till it had finally burst the log. Mr. Lawson, the < Superintendent of the Water Works, has now the root in his possession, it measures seventy feet in length. 1 Another Problem. A Lion, a Bear, a Wolf, and Fox hap pened at a carcass of a I-’awn. Said the I Lion, “I can eat this Fawn in 1 min- J ute, 12ij seconds.” Said the Bear “ I < can eat it in 2 minutes 1 second.” Said 1 the Wolf, “ lean eat it in an hour, a J minutes and a second.” Said the I "ox, 1 “yon are the most voracious gentlemen ( I ever saw; it would last me a week, a J day an hour a minute and a half a se- ] cond.” Exasperated beyond his pa- ' tiencc, the Bear struck him a blow J which threw him off a precipice, cans- , ing his absence 59b seconds ; the rest - began to feast immediately ; how long \ till tlie Fawn was eaten, the Fox help ing as soon as he got back.

We invite the attention of our read- 1 ors to the advertisement of Mr. Wm. E. Barnes, in which he announces for sale his very desirable farm and country residence, near this city. Tub Southern Medical and Surgi cal Journal, published in this city, is on our table with a table of contents of unusual interest. Cure for Cancers. We find the following statement of a cure for cancers, in the Milwaukee True Democrat. If it is what it is claimed to lie, it is a discovery of great value, and we advise our readers, to preserve a pa per containing it : Some eight months ago, Mr. T. i). ■ Mason—who keeps a music store on j Washington street, and is brother of the J well known Lowell Mason—ascertained S that he had a cancer on his face of the j size of a pea. It was cut out by Dr. Wolcott and the wound partially heal ed. Subsequently it grew again, and while he was in Cincinnati on business it attained the size of a hickory nut. He has remained there since Christmas under treatment, and lias come back perfectly cured. The process is this : A piece of sticking plaster was put over the cancer, with a circular piece cut out of the centre a little larger than the cancer, so that tho cancer and a small circular rim of healthy skin next to it was exposed. Then a plaster made of chloride of zinc, bloodroot and wheat flour was spread on a piece of rnusiin of the size of this circular opening and ap | plied to the cancer for twenty four hours. 1)n removing it the cancer will be found [to be burnt into,and appear of the color I and hardness of an oldshoesole, and the - circular rim outside of it will appear j white and parboiled, as if scalded by ] hot steam. Tie: wound is now dressed, ' and the outside rim soon suppurates and the cancer comes out a hard lump, : and the place heals up. The plaster \kills tiie cancer, so that it sloughs out , like dead flesh, and never grows again. — This remedy was discovered "by l)r. Fell !of London, and has been used by him 'forsix or eight years, with unfailing ! success, and not a case has been known of the re-appearance of thecancer where | this remedy has been applied. It lias j i the sanction of the most eminent phys- j I icians and surgeons of London, hut, has i 'not recently been used in this country, ! and many of the faculty, with their pro , verbiul opposition to innovations, look i upon it with distrust. We saw Mr. Mason at church yesterday, and have . j since conversed with him, and took par : ticnlar notice of the cicatrized wound, ! and we can only say that if the cure is i permanent—and, from the evidence of ] six or eight years’ experience in other I cases, we have no doubt it is —the reine |dy ought to be universally known. We 1 have referred to this case, because Mr. | Mason is well known, both here and at the East. The experiment excited much interest in Cincinnati, and we call the J attention of the faculty in this State to * the remedy. If it is what is claimed for it. this terrible disease will be shorn of most of its terrors. The application jis painful, but the pain is of compara tively brief duration, which any one so ! afflicted would cheerfully endure. —— ! Foreign llmlgratloe Info New York. Compared with the previous year, 1 there lias been an increase in emigra j tion by one fourth of English, one third of Irish, and by one-half of Ger mans. During 1857 it was generally supposed there would be a decided de crease in emigrating, resulting from the commercial revuision. The following will show the arrivals for 1857 Ire land, 58,808; Germany, 78,430: Eng land, 39.029 ; Scotland, 5,664 ; Wales, 883; France; 3,102; Switzerland, 2,-1 557 ; Spain, 268 ; Holland, 1,696 ; Nor way, 56; Sweden, 617 ; Denmark, 444 ; 1 tally. 559 ; Portugal, 97 Belgium, 475; West Indies. 329; Nova Scotia, 38; Sardinia, 409 ; South America, 70 ; Canada, 38; China, 10; Sicily, 25; Mexico, 12 ; Prussia, 40 ; Poland, none; East Indies, none ; Greece, 11 ; Turkey, 1. Total, 183,254, which is an increase of 45,821 over the year 1850. The to-' tal arrivals for the past five years from all countries is 1,078,724. “ Here, you little rascal, walk up here and give an account of yourself— where have you been?” “After the girl, father.” "Did you ever know me to do so when I-was a boy ?” “No, sir; but mother did.” “My son, you had better go to bed.” A chap out west, who had been se verely afflicted with palpitation of the heart, says lie found instant relief by the application of another palpitating heart to the part effected Quite an- 1 other triumph of homoeopathy—“like cures like.” We knew a beautiful little blue eyed girl, t'soine three years old, who was nestled in tier mother's arms, at twi light. looking out at the stars. " Mother,” said she, “it is getting 1 dark!” •• and what makes it dark, Caroline?” 1 ■said her mother. “Because God shuts bis eyes,” re- j plied the little poet. Hoop Skirts. The term “ Crinoline,” although pro perly belonging only to skirts manufac tured of hair and thread, is now com 1 monly used to designate all classes and 0 conditions of expul sive female under garments, of whatever material. In this country, the genuine article is not frequently met with a cheaper substi tute, in which hoops are made to give the desired amplitude of peri phery, being better suited to the means of our fair community at large. These hoop skirts were first brought into fa vor in New York, through the enter prise of two young dry goods dealers of that city, who, some half dozen years ago, set their wits to work to take ad vantage of the growing demand for crinoline. Many methods for supply ing tills popular demand has been ad vised—the original crinoline being far too expensive to be indulged in by the many—hut the substitutes invented and manufactured by those two dealers were the only ones that at all satisfied pub lic want; even their first attempt was only partially successful, the article still being too dear for tlie mass of wearers, but in good time they hit upon tlie idea of the skeleton skirt,constructed of hoop which, although at first derided and plentifully abused, rolled itself rapidly into universal favor, and its inventors and proprietors into a fortune. It is believed to be a fact, that the hoop skirt was made by the firm in question, then in Canal street, New York, about six years ago. Since that time, the hoop skirt, like ail modern institutions, has undergone various changes ahd improvements, un til at last the principle of construction 1 seems to have become finally establish- . ed. The “crinoline” of the present day is no crinoline at all, hut a number of steel hoops of different degrees of cir- . cumference, large near the hem of the \ skirt, and decreasing in regular grada tion as they approach the waist, which are held in place by strips of tape, form ing tlie skeleton, or a somewhat more elegant style, are inserted in light mus lin, scientifically cut and fashioned into the true symmetrical form. Great dif ficulty was at first experienced—there are difficulties to be overcome in all in ventions—in obtaining proper material , for the hoops themselves. Rattan prov- ' ed to bo clumsy, stiff and unmanageable; whalebone was found excellent in warm weather, but liable to snap short in win ter; gutta percha, which can be applied to almost auy use, failed in this connec tion ; brass wire coiled around cord was • tried, but was too expensive ; flat bands of brass had their turn, but did not , possess tlie necessary elasticity, and in- 1 convenienced tlie wearer; finally steel | was looked upon as a dernier resort, but was thought entirely too costly. It was nevertheless used, at first by flattening round steel wire, which failed to give , satisfaction, on account of its liability to break, except where it was so large as to be heavy and too expensive. The method at last adopted, and which is now in use, is this : English sheet-steel, that comes four and a half to eight feet long, in bands about eight inches wide, is cut into ribands by 1 steam-driven shears. These ribands are tempered and straightened, and after wards smoothed and polished by the following ingenious process: They are put into a long cylinder with a quanti ty of old broken glass, and the cylin ' der set revolving for some hours.— When opened it is found that the glass is all ground into small cubes, and the ’ rough edges of tlie steel rounded and ’ made smooth. Last of all the ribands ’ arc passed between large, heavy rollers, i which set the temper and leave them so that they will always return to their , place when bent. After these prepara tions they have only to bo made ready J for the skelton pattern, by being cover ' ed with cotton thread braided over the | steel. Some statistics of tlie extent of busi ’i ness of these two manufacturers before ' j mentioned, and tlie amount of material ’ j used by their employees, cannot fail to boos interest. In the department where ' the skirts are wrought together and fin ' ished, (the steel work is a separate af fair, and is carried on Connecticut, where sixty hands are employed,) they give occupation to four hundred per -1 sons, nearly tue whole of them Ameri . can girls, one hundred and eigli v of whom are ut work upon sewing ma -1 chines which, with the hand sewing, use up every month two thousand do ' zeu spools of cotton thread. An aver ' age of three thousand skirts are man 11- 1 factored every day, at prices varying 1 from 50 cents to $6 a piece, and com prising more than fifty patterns. The J latest style is worth describing—it will boos profound interest to feminine, al -1 though mysteriously incomprehensible 1 to masculine, readers. It is a skeleton made of thirteen and a half yards of * inch-wide tape, and three yards of nar row tape and some strips of muslin,and three and a half yards of corset lacing, with fifty-one metal clasps, slides, tubes ' eyelets and hooks,and seven steel hoops measuring fifty-four feet in length, cov ! ereil with braid ; with three bustle ■ hoops of whalebone, eight and a half feet long,cloth covered —the steel hoops being made to expand by slides, to suit : the most expansive ideas ; and yet the ' whole fabric weighs but twelve ounces and although it will keep its place, it can be folded up small enough to put in 1 a carpet bag or band-box without itiju ’ ry. The retail price of this article is ''about $3. ■ j We have stated that 3,000 skirts are l j made each day, on an average. This is > equal to 75,000 a month or 900,000 a I year. Os the materials used we will ; now give a few details. In the first ; place, there is the plain muslin. One Rhode Island cotton factory supplies, of 1 J one particular kind of c.oth, 2,000 pieces per month—say 80,000 yards.— Os all other kiuds, about 70,000 yards are used. Half a million yards of tape are also used up every month ; 225,000 yards of twenty strand jute cord ; 10,- 000 yards of hair cloth ; 2,1X10 dozen spools of cotton; 2,800,000 eyelets,slides claps, tubes, hooks, &e. Although steel has been found to be the most suitable material for hoops,yet others have not been altogether put out of the question, because rattan and , whalebone are not only still used to a , large extent in cheap skirts for all the hoops, but they form a part of the ma ; term! of nearly all of tho steel hooped J j skirts, The manufacturers of. whom we have been speaking will use up in (the course of the present year, two ( thousand two hundred miles of hoops. ‘ The consumption, in feet in a month, J of the various materials is us follows : 700,000 feet of steel riband, 200,000 feet of round rattan, 100,000 feet of j round oil boiled whalebone—a million 1 feet—which give for the year within a 1 fraction of 2,267 1-2 miles of hoops.— Boston Courier. I I Go and see the Russiun War to-night : Leaning Towards Each Other. At the Knight Templar dinner, on the occasion ; of the lato Statue Inauguration, at Richmond, Mr. Robert Mokriss, of Kentucky, being called j t upon, recited the following admirable poem : The jolts of life are many, t As wo dash along the track ; ; Its ways am rough and rugged, And our bones they soiely rack. 1 We’re tossed about, t We’re in avd out, s We make a mighty pother ; r Far less won Id be Our pai s, if we Would lean towards each other. I Behold yon loving couple, ( Just started for a life ! £ What care they .or jolting, t That happy man and wife ! - The cars may jump, Their ho *ds may bump, 1 And jostle one another ; f They only smile, And try the while, , To lean towards each other ! Woe to the luckless traveler Who journeys all alone ; Well said the wise Solomon, ‘ u Two better is than one.” j For when the ground’s 1 . Most rugged found, j ’ And great’s the pain and p- ther ; ; ( He cannot break \ The sorest ache j i By leaning on another. There's not one in ten thousand Os all the cares we mourn, But what, if twas divided, Might easily be borne. If we but learn, When fortunes turn, To share them with a Brother, We’d prove how good’s Our Brotherhood, By leaning towards each other. Financial ami Commercial.
