*£!)? Cbiisfjfiiftoitaligt AUGUSTA, GKA..: Sunday Morning, September 19, 1875. PERSONAL. Ralston tolls the medium it was an ac cident. The Empress of Austria is a superb swimmer. Webster was 21 years compiling his dictionary. Barnum has socured another fat woman; she weighs 640 pounds. The monument in Greenwood of John Matthows, the soda water man, cost $30,- 000. Rev. Dong Cong, a Chinese missionary, is laboring among nis countrymen in Portland, Uregan. Miss Edith Cash, of Washington, has be trothed herself to a young watering-place beau with $75,000 a year. Ho marries her C. O. D. “Father’s hair is growing gray,” is the latest popular ballad; and it is enough to make it to see the way the young people aro acting now-a-days. An Englishman clergyman has written a pamphlet commencing, “Oh, ye fools, when will ye understand ?” It is addressed to Tyndall, Huxley and others. Cremation would have prevented the Guibord riot in Canada. But the world is determined to move slowly, and it doesn’t even want jp be vaccinated. Sergeant Bates ran over a post and broke his nose the other night, but alas! a broken-nosed man may also carry a flag around the country. The medical advisors of a delicate Mas sachusetts murderer certify that in the present state of his health it would serious ly jeopardize his life to be hanged. Times have so degenerated that Frank fort, Kentucky, has but one hundred and twenty-eight men who answer to the call of “Colonel.” Wood, of the Chicago Journal, is some times taken for Parson Brownlow, and it is said that he encourages strangers in their mistake. Country tramps in Wisconsin place knife blades just where the farmers are apt to kick them, and the farmer kicks and gets a foot to last him for a month. Jp the now kind of stockings have stripes around the tops, why doesn’t the New York Herald bring out a map and exhibit its en terprise in advance of Its contemporaries? It costs fifty dollars to slap a Cleveland man on the mouth. That’s a good deal of money, but there’s also a good deal of mouth. Russian husbands live up to the cry: “The more you pound your wife the more she will love you as soon as she gets over aching.” A bolt of lightning struck a t- ee in front of a Chicago Alderman’s house the other night, and in hia flight the Alderman re marked: "Hold on! I’ll restore the mon ey !” Thin, omaciated and languid-looking men are beginning to appear on the streets, and we realize that at last summer is ended and the watering-place tourists are return ing home.—[Chicago Journal. A Cincinnati barber says he can’t make ono towel wipe over twenty customers be fore they begin to complain, and he wants to know if this nation is a fastidious na tion. Ann Eliza, the divorced wife of Brigham Young, is working out by the week and waiting for the alimony. Brigham, the old hyena, says he’ll pay It when Satan starts a camp-meeting. Two fools at St. Louis Went out for to fight; One fired—t’other fired— Both missed—all right. Wilkes’ Spirit of the Times thinks Boy ton’s feat greater than Webb’s. As Boyton is an American, and Webb nothing but a blarsted Englishman, we think so toe, come to think. If a Missouri man gets killed while rid ing a race, tho crowd is certain to chip in and raise more money for the widow than the husband would have earned in two years.—l Detroit Free Press. Let’s stop slurring pull-back dresses. When one comes to remember that a wo man has got to sit sideways on a horse, and that she can’t put her feet on the top of the stove, it does seem as if they might be a'lowed some extravagances. They are excited in Berlin ovor a mili tary case. The soldier said he was very ill. but the officer said he was only sham ming to have an easy time in the hospital, so he kept him at his duty, and the soldier died on the drill ground. They cannot find anything on the subject in the military code. Here’s an opportunity which seldom of fers twice to a man. A wealthy Californian has deposited a SIOO gold note in a San Diego bank, it is to be the property of any Spiritualist who can toll the number of it. if any of our mediums win it, they should keep it as the first honoet dollar ever won in the profession. A Chicago woman advertises in the Mar riage Bazar: “ I want a honorable, honest gentleman for a husband. No lawyer, doc tor or politician may apply. I will give my future husband, on my marriage day, SIO,OOO cash, and twice that amount in real estate. lam 22 years of age, 5 ft. 4% inches in high, weight 140 lbs., a good musician, and well educated. Editor has address." The Journal closes a story about a Now Hampshire girl who made two unsuccess ful attempts to kill herself by saying: “She is a bright, talented lady, but cares not to live longer a life so full of bitter dis appointments.” Yes; it must be hard to try to make a fool of yourself twice and not succeed. POLITICAL NOTES. Twenty of twenty-one German papers in lowa support the Democratic ticket. Carl Schurz, since his arrival from Europe on Tuesday, has determined to . peak in Ohio for the benefit of the liepub lican party. It is not understood that Carl will wave a bloody shirt. Here is how shy Sam Bowles of the Springfield Republican puts it: *‘lf the peo ple go on voting Democratic State and Con gressional tickets in this careless way, what is to becomo of the great Republican party ? They should think of this.” A piece of cheap clap-trap on the part of the bullionists is to depreciate the Govern ment greenbacks by giving the Wall street discount on them as compared to gold. They conveniently omit to mention that 5-20s are up to 120% and upwards! What makes them so high but tho people’s taxes? 'A hy aro they so steady if repudiation is in the air?— [N’ashvillo American. Eladderadatsch has a happy touch on the French pretenders. Tho Republic drives her cab. MaeMahon lays back as a pas senger, and little Prince Louis steals a sur reptitious ride, while Henry V and the Count of Paris join in the shout against tho Prince, ‘‘Cut behind! Cut behind!” Ktadderadatach, the Berlin launch, does not often deal very plainly with politics, but it evidently feels no restraint with re gard to Turkey. It pictures that power as taking her place on the stage as a member of the European concert troupe, while a lackey hands her the request of “the di rection” that she should leave. “Out of Europe with her” is the legend. LETTER FROM CHARLESTON. The Vagaries of the Municipal Can vass. [From Our Own Correspondent] Charleston, September 17. The all prevailing topic of conversa tion now i3 the approaching Municipal campaign, and the situation of affairs is doubly interesting from the fact, that the result is of such vital interest to the weal of the city, and because things are so complicated that fifty Philadelphia lawyers and a half dozen lightning calculators would sink under the effort to unravel them or arrive at a definite conclusion as to the result. “The old thing ain’t what it used to be.” Parties are divided, racos are di vided, families under the same roof are divided. In all previous municipal contests in which the people of Charles ton were called upon to struggle for power at the ballot box, there were always some distinguishing party lines. While there might have been an amalgamation between the whites and the better class of tho colored citizens, yet this coalition took some tangible shape, and a man could safely estimate another’s political status from his standing in the community. But In the present fight everything is obscured, muddled and peculiar. On the one hand the Bowen clique, the German el ement and a portion of the substantial citizens are working in harness for tho election of ex-Mayor John A. Wagener, while on the other hand are arrayed a large portion of the best Conservative citizens and the Independent Republi cans, working harmoniously and earn estly together for the election of the Hon. George L Cunningham. This split, as may well bo imagined, has created a bloody chasm into which gallons of the “ life current ” has already been shed, over which it may be difficult to shake hands after everything is decided. On Wednesday evening last the Bow en-Wagener Convention met at Hiber nian Hall, excluded all outsiders, to gether with the representatives of the press, and caucussed until 2 o’clock a. m. over the Aldermanlc ticket. Prom what could be learned of this Star Chamber session, it appears that things are not working as harmoniously in the ranks of this side of the house as they might wish. The Chairman’s voice, as ho exhorted his followers, was heard out on tho still night air, to the reporters, who patiently (?) waited the adjournment. Prom the lips of this—not wisely but too-well spoken gentleman came out through tho crevices of the sealed doors the in formation that he proposed to give a representation on the ticket of six white natives, six white foreign ers, and six colored Bowenites—making up the eighteen Aldermen. But this didn’t seem to satisfy Boss Bowen’s crowd; they wanted more, and so the fight went on until the wee sma’ hours, and finally resulted in—nothing. To-day the Republican primary elec tions for delegates to the Republican Nominating Convention were held, with a sweeping victory for the supporters of Cunuingham. As might bo expected from their inherent love of depositing a ballot, no matter on what side, the colored “Conservatives” who turned out for Wagener a week ago, and took the oath that they were Conservatives and felt in harmony with the Conserva tive movement, as numerously turned out to-day to take the the oath that they were Republicans. So little moral responsi bility does there seem to exist in this class of our colored population, that many of them attempted to vote to day on the ground that when they swore that they were Conservatives, they didn’t swear it on a Bible, ami were therefore freed from all moral ob ligation in the matter. However laud able this principle might be, the Cun ningham men took sufficient care to prevent its being tested practically, and many a Bowenite was requested to step down and out as ho waltzed up smil ingly with his ballot. The election was all one way, tho votes polled being 2,011, a vote largely in excess of the number polled at the Wagener pri maries held last week. Tho whites, as a body, did not participate, and, as in the Wagener primaries, whites and blacks both turned out. Tho Cun ningham supporters hail the day’s work as a sign of victory. The day, as a whole, passed off quietly—true there were several little private mills be tween Cunningham and Wagener meD, but resulting in no serious injury to the participants. The Wagener Con vention will meet to nominate Aider men (if they can agree) on’ Monday next, and will be closely followed by the Cunningham Convention. Upon the character of the Aldermanie nomi nation rests, in a great measure the result of the elections, and consequent ly the two tickets are looked for with an interest bordering upon impatience. Qui Vive. GEORGIA GENERAL NEWS. The Galnesvillo Eagle says Gen. Toombs promises to deliver, if possible, some day during next week, an address to tho people of Hall county. Tho Madison Home Journal says only one person has been hanged in that county since it was laid off In 1808. It was in 1832, and the victim was a negro wh) had stolen, for tho third time, a pair of coppe ras breeches. Columbus Times: By anew law, which went into effect the first of this month, it is made tho duty of parents to return all the births and deaths which occur in their fa milies to the ordinary of the county in which they live. Tho penalty for each fail ure to do so is $lO. The same law makes the marriage licenco much more definite than it formerly was. Sixteen questions are now answered before tho license is is sued. Tho certificate in the hands oi tho ordinary gives a full and accurate descrip tion of each person married. Residence, age, paronts’ name, color, place of birth and several other things are recorded The Courier wants another vote of the citizens of Rome on the question of accept ing the compromise offered by the holders of the bonds of that city. It says: “Tho majority of our property holders foel that they are losing money every day this question of settlement remains open for bitter discussion. Let all the bondhc lders come forward and pledge themselves to the compromise, and we have no doubt another election will endorso it on the part of Rome. Since the last election on the subject a petition has been numorously signed representing a large majority of the property in the city, favoring the set tlement proposed, and it is reasonable to suppose that many who opnosed hereto fore have changed their minds and would willingly veto the other way now.” Toccoa Herald: Two negroes, Bob and Dennis Sparks, who were engaged in dig ging a well for Mr. Singorfleld, near Avres villo, met with an untimely death on Thursday morning last. The facts of their death are substantially as follows: They had got the well to the depth of about 75 feet, and on Thursday morning returned to their work as usual. Bob went down into tho well, and had hardly reached the bot tom when he called to those above to pull him out, quick, and caught Jjold of the rope convulsively. They began to draw him up, but had not got him far when he began to relax his hold and fell to the bottom a corpse. The party above now threw some water into tho well, probably with a view of resuscitating him, as they were greatly excited and didn't know what else to do.— His brother now volunteered to go down after him. Ho got into the bucket and was lowered to the bottom and succeeded in tieing a rope around his dead brother, when, from the effects of the foul air, united perhaps with a superstitious dread at being alone with the deac, he ignored the rope and began to ascend a ladder which extended a few feet up the well. The effects of the was overcome him as he ascended the ladder and he fell t>> the bottom a corpse. They were subsequently drawn out amid much excitement, not un mingled with sorrow at the fearful tragedy. They were brought to Toccoa on Friday night, and were carried to their home, some seven or eight miles distant, for interment.

C., April 14, 1873. f The Kitson Machine Company, Lowell, Mass.: Gentlemen, f have been running your system of Compound Opener Lappers and Finisher Lappers, with Eveners, for more th>n 1 wo years nart at the Cotton Mill of tne Langley Manufacturing Company, and I have found it to work the most satisfactory of any opening and picking arrangement I have ever seen, we have not weighed a pound of cotton upon the picker apron since starting, yet wo have had a remarkable regularity of numbers. The staple is not injured by over beating, and it leaves the picker without being curled or knitted; the seeding and cleaning is very complete. Over forty per cent. in labor in this department is saved over the old system. One of the greatest con siderations with this arrangement is its secur ty against lire. Yours, &c., M. F.
