Balzac says that Parisian ladies have

Why shall the advertising be all on
the side of the supplier? Many and
many a person has come to cur office
to inquire where he can find, or how he
can get, some little or great thing, say
ing that he has inquired everywhere
for it. Sometimes we ask them why
they do not look in their newspaper
for*it; for just what they want is ad
vertised there in plain sight, day after
day, or now and then a day. Often we
assure them that two or three lines in
the paper, making known their wants,
and telling where they may be ad-'
dressed, will in a few days, sometimes
in a day, bring to their door, in every
variety, just what they have spent
much time and money in vain inquiries
about. We have repeatedly received
hearty thanks for putting people upon
this, to them, new and cheap way of
supplying peculiar wants. The time
has come when wise, prudent and wide
awake people are making fortunes by
advertising promptly their wants.
Election of School Trustees.
To-day, the election for School Trus
tees occur in the different wards of the
city and districts of the county. There
appeals to be no competition in the
matter, and it is not unlikely that the
present Board will be re-elected. No
complaint has been made against the
present members, and Madame Rumor
has not whispered the names of auy
new candidates. We know of one gen
tleman who was asked to become a
candidate in one of the city wards, but
he declined, saying he was going to
support the gentleman who occupies
the position.
Valuable Property for Sale.
According to an advertisement in
this day’s paper, the valuable property
of the late N. B. Moore is offered for
sale. The farm near Augusta is a
most valuable one. It is a model in
every respect, for Mr. Moore was not
onlv a thriftv man, but one who knew
how to make tillage a perfect system.
We venture to say that no tract of
land in the South has been more high
ly cultivated, and if there is another
farm as neatly equipped and kept in
as thorough order we have not seen it
or heard of it. There will be great
competition for this property. It was
the source of much revenue to its late
owner and his grass culture was un
surpassed, beating cotton out of sight.
We trust that it may fali into the
hands of somebody who will take the
„ ltne pride in it that Mr. Moore did.

The case of Alphestus Tilley, charged
j with voluntary manslaughter, was
' brought to close about 2p. m. Judge
| Twiggs, for the prisoner, made an ad
! dress of over an hour claiming that
his client did no more than he was au
thorized to do under the law. He was in
fear of his life, and acted on that
ground in self-defence. Judge McLaws,
for the prosecution, followed in an able
address. Judge Gibson charged the
jury in a brief manner, leaning consid
erably towards the theory of the de
fence, that Tilley was in fear of his life.
The jurv were out about two hours,
and came in with a verdict acquitting
the prisoner.
The cases of Carter Smith, indicted
for assault with intent to murder, aud
John D. Hays, charged with murder,

Augusta Jockey Club Races.
The races on the 21th bid fair to
prove of great interest. Several horses,
are now at the track iu training; two ar
rived this morning from Detroit, and
daily arrivals inay safely be expected
until the commencement of the races,
assurances having been received from
several prominent racing men that they
will surely be on hand with their stables
of flyers to take a hand. There is no
doubt but that there will be plenty of
fine and fast horses at the meeting,
and it is to be hoped that the Club and
citizens generally will aid by coming
forward with the funds to* pay the
purses. A large crowd of visitors is
expected and the finest races in this
part of Georgia since the war, are look
ed for.

Friends of Children.
[New York Times, 2d inst.)
A regular meeting of the Board of
Managers of the New York Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children
was held at the rooms of the society,
No. BGO Broadway, yesterday afternoon.
Cue of the worst cases reported was
that of a little boy, seven years old,
named Frank Hudson. At the exami
nation iu this case, four witnesses tes
tified that the boy’s father beat him
unmercifully with a cane, threw him
down on the stone pavement, severely
cutting his face, and injuring his left
eye in such a manner as to disfigure
him for life, and finally threw him into
a barrel of water, nearly drowning him.
The inhuman parent was arrested and
hold for trial, and the child was sent to
the Roman Catholic Protectory.
The Secretary called the attention of
the Board to the fact that a number of
complaints had been made to the sof
ciety of the employment of children o
tender age at some of the theatres iu
this city as acrobatic aud trapeze per
formers. and that it was the opinion of
many of our most eminent physicians
that such practices are cruel aud in
jurious to the health of the children.
It, was further stated that iu many of
the theatres there was nothing used
to guard against accidents, as required
by law. The matter was referred to a
committee, with full power.
A letter was road, contradicting a
statement made in one of the weekly
papers to the effect that children of
Catholics had been sent to the Five
Points Mission. In contradiction of
that statement extracts from the re
cords were read, showing that such
children had been sent to the Roman
Catholic Protectory, and not to the
Five Points Mission. The records of
the society are open to the inspection
of the public.
Amusements.
The company who perform, under the
title of “Salsbury’s Troubadours,” ap
peared at the Opera House last night.
The performance commenced with the
farce, “Sailing Under False Colors,”
and it was performed with great spirit.
The extravagancies of Martha Bunn,
Nellie McHenry, and Sam Winkler,
Oliver Wren, kept the house in a roar
of laughter. Then followed “Patch
work,” patterned after the perform
ance of the Yokes Family. The plot
is as follows: “Some servants, at 7:30
a. in., amuse themselves by imitating
a masquerade which had taken place
in their master’s house the night be
fore—taking possession of the dresses
used on that occasion, they dress
themselves according to their several
fancies, and proceed to act, sing and
dance in accord with their natural in
clination, but with duo regard for dra
matic properties.”
There are but six characters in the
piece, and it was a lively performance,
there not being a dull moment from
the beginning to the close. Salsbury’s
performance was very pleasurable, es
pecially his imitations of Booth, Joe
Jefferson, J. W. Wallack, Char
lotte Cushman and other stage
celebrities. Gertie Granville and Nel
lie McHenry danced and sung with
great acceptability. The take-off on the
Teak Family was very funuy, but the
“local hits” of the Centennial Quartette
might have been left out sometimes
The complimentary reference to Mayor
Estes was received with shouts of ap
plause, or, in the vernacular, “brought
down the house.” To-night, the Trou
badours appear iu the comedy of
“ Little Mother ” and “ Patchwork.”
They deserve a better house than they
had last night.
Corned Beef.
Mr. Lawrence, at the Lower Market,
has our thauks for a splendid specimen
of corned beef. We know of nothing
more toothsome at this season, es
pecially when it comes from an artist
like Mr. Lawrence.
Serenade.
The Augusta Brass Band, uuder the
leadership of Edward Hett, were out
serenading last night, and favored
some of our citizens with very fine
music. Among those called on were
Mayor Estes, Col. Thos. Barrett, Chief
Srnythe and Assistant Chief Robie, of
the Fire Department, and Captain R. J.
Wilson.
Schools in Paris •
The great majority of boys in Pails
are boarders in a school or lycee. The
lycee is a State establishment. Some
in Paris, the greater number, take
boarders, some do not; two especially
are in the latter class, the Lycee Fon
tanes, in the Rue Caumartin, close to
the St. Lazaire Railway Station, and
the Lycee- Charlemagne, in the Rue St.
Antoine. But in all of them, whether
they take boarders or not, there is
twice a day a class of two hours’ dura
tion, which is presided over by Univer
sity professors, and which is attended
by the boarders of the lycee, or those
of private schools. These classes iu
ciude In their curriculum of education,
Greek, Latin, mathematics, the modern
languages, &c. They are divided in a
number of forms, through which the
boy is expected to pass successively.
The lycees of Paris being only nine in
number, and all therboys who want to
get an education having to attend them,
it follows that each form includes by
far too large a number of bo}’s for the
Professor to do justice to them; each of
them Includes, In fact, aboutsixty boys.
But I will leave aside to-day that part
of the subject, which uould require a
great many explanations, and will re
turn to it some other day. I only wish
to call your attention to the physical
part of our system of education. It is
the same both in private schools and
lycees, so that I may describe the one
or the other, with the only exception
that the boys boarding in schools have
to walk over to the lycee four times a
day, whatever may be the state of the
weather. Boys get up in all our schools
at 5:30, both Winter and Summer. They
sleep in large dormitories, including
usually some forty to fifty beds—l
know of some even larger ones; each
bed is about half a yard to a yard dis
tant from the neighboring one, and is
not surrounded by curtains. Each
dormitory is under the charge
of one maitre d’etude, or usher,
usually called in schools the
pion ; the class maitres d'etude
belong to is a sham for most of our
schools. Exactly as 5:30 strikes, a
porter comes to the door of the dormi
tory and rings a large bell; in lycees a
man with a drum comes and beats that.
Boys are allowed half an hour to wash
and dress; in many schools they are
still obliged to come down in the court
yard to wash. It was always the case
when I was at school in Paris, and I
remember many a time when we had
to break the ice in winter to get a little
water. It is the only time during the
day that a boy approaches a lavatory.
At 6 they go into what are called the
studies, long rooms with desks. Each
boy is expected then to prepare his
lessons for the classes at the lycee.
This study continues till 8 o’clock.
Then breakfast. The breakfast in
French schools usually consists of a
kind of soup. Do not fancy it is any
thing like what you call soup in Eng
land; no, it is merely a kind of greasy
water, iu which are soaked a few pieces
of bread, and to which is added a piece
of bread without any butter or any
thing else. On the whole the
breakfast may be said to consist merely
of bread alone, as the soup is so
bad none of the boys ever taste it; at
least so it was in my school days, and
some young friends of mine tell me it
is the same to-day. After, and even
during breakfast, as you are not ex
pected to eat your bread in the refec
tory, there is a recreation of Half an
hour’s duration; then you are off to the
lycee. After returning from college,
you go back agaiu to study for one or
two "hours, as the case may be; then
comes the dinner, usually composed of
one dish of meat and one of vegetables,
no dessert except on Thursdays and
Sundays; on Friday, fish and vegeta
bles; drink in abundance—namely, wine
mixed with water. In most schools,
and they are all about the same as to
price of boarding. It is such an abom
inable drink—the wiue being so bad
that the boys drink only water. After
dinner, recreation lasting one hour,
then oif to the lycee again. On coining
back, lunch, a mere morsel of bread,
half an hour’s recreation, then study
again till 8 o’clock, when supper is
served, usually consisting of cold meat
or vegetables. Then to bed at 8:30.
Such is the life led by our boys at
school.
During the whole day. from 5:30 in
the morning to 8:30 at night, they are
constantly at work, excepting two
hours’ recreation, and by reckoning the
time employed by the meals aQd the
walk to the lycee, three hours and a
half at the outside. At any rate, you
will say, they make it up during recre
ation hours by violent exercises and
games. Not in the least. In most
schools they have no room. In lycees
the court yards are large enough, but
then remember they accommodate 1,200
boarders each. Besides, our boys won’t
play. I remember the time, in my first
school days, that such games were still
going on during play hours; but they
gradually disappeared even before I
left school, and that has been constant
ly going on. Our precocious boys, I
hear, spend now their play hours loung
ing by groups in a corner of the court
yard, discussing, at twelve years of
age, the merits of some horse In
the next race, or the abili y
and the talent of this or that
actor or actress. On Thursday there
is a half-holiday ; it is employed in a
promenade. The boys go out two by
two, forming a long procession, or three
by three in clerical schools - they say
out of three there is always a sneak,
hence the custom —under the guidance
of an usher ; and they walk about the
streets of Paris. In the first years of
my school life we used to be taken
either to a public garden or to the
fields in the neighborhood of Paris,
and left free to disport ourselves ; but
this practice has been discontinued,
and the promenade is merely now a
walk through the streets or along the
quays, and such tiring work it is that I
know many a boy who courts punish
ment in order to escape it. But, you
will say, do not the schoolmaster and
his family take their meals or mix with
the boys? Never ; and this I consider
one of the greatest drawbacks of our
system. —[English Paper.
Beautiful Monuments.
Passing by the extensive marble
works of Theodore Markwalter, at No.
121 Broad street, our attention was at
tracted to a beautiful monument of
Italian marble. On inquiry, we ascer
tained it is to be placed over the grave
of the late W. J. Vason. The base is of
granite, and the top of the structure is
fourteen feet from the ground. The
shaft is ornamented with drapery, and
two vases of flowers, cut iu a most
artistic manner, rest at the base.
Avery beautiful head stone has just
been finished, and is to be placed, next
week, over the grave of Mrs. S. Marcus,
in the Hebrew Cemetery. It is of pure
Carrara marble, and a hand appears
coming out of a cloud, pointiug up
ward. Three urns rest on top of the
stone, one covered with drapery.
Mr. Markwalter showed us designs
for two monuments, which will be put
in hand soon. One is for No. 3 Engine,
and represents a fire plug with hose and
pipe attached, while a fire cap with
the figure “3” on its front, is placed on
top of the monument. The other de
sign is for a plain spire monument of
the lonic order, to be erected over the
grave of Governor Cumming.
There has been considerable com
plaint lately of irregularity of the
“heavy mail” from the North; tbe con
sequence is, that we do not get our New
York papers with any degree of
promptness. We do not, however, at
tribute any blame to the Augusta Post
Office.

Great Popularity,— Dr. Puce’s Cream
Baking Powder and True' Flavoring
Extracts, Nectarine, Rose, Lemon, etc.,
have been before the public many
years, and have gained for themselves,
on their own merits, an extensive sale.
Their great popularity is mainly due
to the scrupulous manner in which they
are prepared, the using of the purest
and best materials, with special refer
ence to their healthfulness. We never
tire of using them, for they are always
the same. Articles in which they are
used have no disagreeable odor or
sickly taste, but are always enjoyable.

D|agging Out Existence.— The ner
vous, weekly invalid does not enjoy
life, but merely “ drags out existence,”
as the phrase is. Unfitted for the ac
tive pursuits of life, and incapable of
partaking of its pleasures to which
health alone can give a zest; disin
clined to social intercourse and a prey
to melancholy, the valetudinarian is in
deed an object of pity. Yet there is
nothing in all this that cannot be rem
edied by that genial alterative tonic
and nervine, Hostetter’s Stomach Bit
ters, which supplies sufficient stamina,
braces the nervous system and over
comes those bodily irregularities to
which nervous weakness is most fre
quently attributable. Diseases of the
kidney and bladder, imperfect diges
tion and uterine troubles are fertile
sources debility Their eradication,
however, becomes a matter of certain
ty when Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters
are systematically used for that pur
pose. The Bitters likewise annihilate
and prevent fever and ague and other
debilitating febrile complaints of a ma
larial nature. nov2-eodcf

FINANCE AND TRADE.
WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE AU
GUSTA MARKETS.
Constitutionajlist Office, I.
6 o’clock P. M., November sth, 1875.)
Remarks.
In view of the many prophesies of a class
of “ croakers,” who are always foretelling
something unpleasant, it is satisfactory to
note tiie situation of affairs. True it is,
that the volume of business transacted has
not been large, in comparison with that of
last year. A retrospect of the week shows
a better feeling at the close than at the be
ginning. Business men. for some time, have
been taking in all their light canvas, and
when the “Judgment Day.” (November
4th), predicted by tho croaking prophet*,
came, every preparation had been made to
meet it, and the commercial ships weather
ed the gale.
Stocks have been kept down to a point
commensurate with a demand based on
safe credits, and with but two exceptions,
all paper maturing has been promptly met.
Agents from the great commercial centres
have been anxious to sell, but the trade
have not been anxious to buy.
In Cotton, there has been a very good de
mand, at slightly easier prices. It appears
to be the belief of the majority that it has
reached not far from its lowest point;
hence,tactors are not as quite free sellers
as they were last week. The stock on hand
has increased 10,000 bales, as shown by the
count this evening.
[From the New York Bulletin, Nov. 2d ]
'i ho absorbing feature during the week
under reviews has been the progress and
culmination of the October “squeeze.” This
“corner" has, to a certain extent, proven
the most successful one undertaken for
years, and for the last six days of the
month the contest was narrowed down to
a few of the must powerful operators, who
have fought each other hour by hour and
fraction by fraction to the bitter end. There
also appeared to be a tittle personal feeling
now' and then shown toward the close, and
we have received hints of broken faith,
causing a somewhat sharper tono to the
strife than was necessary, all circum
stances considered. That portion of
the trade who were not from ne
cessity forced into the speculative move
ment have found business almost com
pletely paralyzed, especially so on the
sales of actual cotton. The most impera
tive wants have in a few cases compelled
small purchases for spinning, but buyers
who could hold off were not very likely to
handle cotton at lf 4 c. per pound more than
it wis offered at one week ahead, and the
principal demand has been for speculative
u-e The necessities of tho “ shorts ” and
the delay iu anticipated arrivals from the
South have resulted in the bringing into
this market of cotton from almost any
point at which it could be reached, and the
gross receipts have included parcels from
Baltimore, Philadelphia and Boston. The
final deliveries were very liberal, indeed
unusually so, but everything offered was
taken and held off the market, for the time
being at least, and quite a number of oper
ators unable to secure stock were compelled
to settle under the rule.
There appeared to be an idea prevalent
at the close that while the rate had been
materially advanced during the month—
from 1213-16 up to 14%c—and the “squeeze”
perfect and general, the actual profit was
an extremely doubtful issue between the
opposing interests, the free deliveries to
spec.dative operators who did not want the
cotton and c.mld onlv sell at a decline, be
ing considered an offset to the advance in
rates. An extension of operations into the
present month and another corner for No
vember were among the probabilities hint
ed at, t hough at the present writing all op
erators appear to be taking a sort of
breathing spell after the recent severe
struggle. The running count of stock
nt this port lias run up pretty full du
ing the week, but the amount of
this available cannot be determined for
some time with any degree of accuracy. A
portion is quite sure to remain locked up
on speculative operations, and there is also
a claim that very considerable amounts
will also go abroad. Exporters have re
ceived some on direct operations in a spec
ulative way, and, it is said, will also be
come the possessors of a good many lots
which they agreed to take off the hands of
such “bulls” asjmiglit be loaded up, the rate
to be fixed a large fraction below the nomi
nal value of “spots.” Tills theory is well
supported by strong indications of com
paratively free shipments at an early day,
and the fact that scarcely anything lias
been bought from sample.
8o thoroughly have the local issues
monopolized attention, tho general influ
ences in the absence of anything positively
startling were seldom referred to. T lie re
ceipts at the ports have run pretty full, and
stocks show an accumulation both on the
seaboard and in the interior, while the
weather, as reported from most points,
was favorable, and picking progressing
very well. There was, however, rather less
inclination to talk “bearish” than a month
ago, and while the change of opinion was
not radical, a great many operators com
mence to think that cotton may possibly
have reached a good fair selling value.
This is based on the bo ief that a market
can now be found for all goods, anti that
the old surplus is sufficiently out of the
way to afford an outlet for fresh produc
tion, without further shrinking values.
