Robinson & Cos., the proprietors of the “Augusta Music- House,” whose extensive establish ment at No. 265 Broad street, is now recognized as the “head centre” of the musical interests of our city. Although the firm has been organized but about a year, in the language of Mr. Robinson, “by careful and persistent advertising, we have done a better business than was anticipated in the start; printers ink has done the thing.” The first feature that attracts the eye, as one nears the store, is the artistic grouping of the many beautiful instruments in the show window, equal in fact to what can be seen in the store windows of Baltimore, Philadelphia or New York. Going up one short flight of stairs, the visitor enters a splendid store, one hundred and thirty feet in length, which contains as fine a stock of pianos and organs as can be found in Savan nah, Charleston or Atlanta. The firm does not confine their stock of goods to any particular make, for we found there six different kinds of pianos, in cluding Hallet, Davis & Cos., W. Ludden & Cos., Haines and other celebra ted makes, ranging in prices from $250 to SI,OOO. In organs, their is also quite a variety of the Peloubert, Pelton & -Co., Domestic, Coronation, Austin and Mason and Hamlin makes. There is also a most varied assortment of band instruments, sheet music, musi cal albums and music boxes. The firm also supply parts of Instruments, either for violins, guitars, banjos, etc. A speciality is, that the latest music can be furnished immediately and delivered free of charge at the same price as if furnished by the publishers. As au evidence of the appreciation of prices, the following bands have been furnished with a complete outfit of in struments : Augusta Brass Band, Ger man band of Augusta, Waynesboro band, and Wiliiston band. We are glad to note the prosperity of this energetic firm, because it shows the benefits of liberal advertising. A New Book. Mr. A. F. Pendleton has favored us with Dr. J. G. Holland’s latest novel— “Sevenoaks.” The Philadelphia Times has this criticism of it: “Dr. Holland’s stories, * Sevenoaks,’ is perfectly harm less. Yet it has a somewhat mawkish flavor. The hero, who is also the vil lain, is a veritable James Fisk, Jr.,with an ambition, which that famous indi vidual never was accused of, to found a theological school, and thus win golden opinions from the pious. He is a vulgar scoundrel, without one re deeming point, and when he is discov ered and tripped up, as villains always are (in novels), the reader finds it im possible to feel the least pity for him. The only original and interesting char acters in the book are ‘Jim Fenton,’ the lumberman, and ‘ Kesiah Batter worth,’ the poor seamstress of Seven oaks. ‘ Jim’s ’ quaint sayings are the only feature of the book that lifts it above the commonplace. With the ex ception of the backwoodsman, all the good characters are too truly good to live iu such a world as this, at least in such a manner that the recital of their actions can be in any degree interest ing to the general public. They preach on the slightest provocation, and their ‘goodv’ talk is as little edifying as the remarks which the villain has an un pleasant habit of addressing to his mirror. The book is commonplace iu plot and in style, in manner aud in mat ter.” We have generally found, on perusal, that Dr. Hollaud’s books are a great deal better than the critics who disparage them are willing to allow. Clone Glimmering. Having weathered the Chicago Are, Duncan, Sherman & Cos., the Bank of California and several minor distur bances, the editor of this paper has at last been obliged to suspend specie payments, not to speak of rag money outlays. While Gov. Chamberlain was shouting in Charleston of reforming South Carolina, one of his Excellency’s colored constituents made off surrepti tiously with our week’s washing, which represents fifty per cent, of our visible assets. That "is the last feather that breaks this camel’s back. We shall go to bed for seven days to catch up with the remnaut of our undergarments and decline to settle with creditors for the next six months. Taxes. John A. Bohler, County Collector of Taxes, has collected and paid over the following amounts: State Treasurer, $35,000 County Board of Education 4,000 County Treasurer 8,100 $47,100 This is not quite up to the collections of last year, but considering the times, is a good showing. The best way is to battle against “hard times” persistently, unflinchingly. It’s of no use whatever crying out that things are at a standstill, aud then falling back supinely, awaiting the time when there shall be a revival. When a quickening shall take place is dependent very much on the amount of exertion we make to bring it about. The more we bestir ourselves the sooner will it arrive. By reference to our advertising col umns, the programme for the first con cert of the Choir of St. Paul’s Church will be fouud. Professor Weigand has direction of the affair, which ensures success. We have no doubt Masonic Hall will be crowded on Tuesday night with a large and fashionable audience. The latest feature in ladies’ adorn ments is a silver-plated nickle chatelaine with chain attached, to be worn at the belt. As its shape would suggest, it is designed for the convenient carriage of the prayer book. This new feminine toy is in the form of a fancy cross, but is of course hollow, save at the bottom of the upright, and the extreme ends of the cross pieces. This keeps the prayer book in place. Very Much of a Father. Judge A. R. Wright generally excels in whatever he undertakes. He is emi nent as an affable gentleman, a success ful lawyer, an independent minister, and an entertainiug and forcible speaker. And now let him be register ed among the successful fathers, one distinguished as the head of a “numer ous family.” Judge Wright is the father of eighteen children, sixteen of whom are living. One of them is only about twelve months old, though the Judge is some sixty-two or sixty-three years of age. He is the grandfather or some twelve or fifteen grand-children. When the family all get together, which they do about ouce a year, there is no larger or happier family circle any where. Truly has the Judge been fa vored by Providence. In reply to the above article from yesterday’s Commercial, Judge Wright hands us the following: Editor Commercial —My friend, the local, does me the honor of saying I have had eighteen children, sixteen of whom are now living. Only twelve are living. Ido not know whether he is correct iu the grand-children, as I have not counted them lately, and the pros pect in that line is a continuing one. If lie is correct ho will not be so long. Without accidents, there will be addi tions soon, and too numerous to keep up with without a memorandum book. My family, as the local iutimates, is a working family. We are not like Reu ben, “not to excel, because unstable as water.” We are a steady-going peo ple in obeying the Scripture, and espe cially its first and cardinal command — “ multiply and replenish.” My home stock of boys is even ten, three of whom are now candidates for matrimony. The fourth, Gen. Robert Toombs, is “noticing” considerably, and if he could find a red-headed girl (his own being of that brilliant and ad mirable color), a little fast, he might be oft in a tangent. Our last baby, the eighteenth, is an improvement upon any of the forego ing. Only twelve months old, she talks and sings. Her black hair, of which she has a great profusion, falls in curls upon her neck and shoulders, and though she is not yet in love, she shows a great proclivity for the boys, much preferring their society to that of the girls. I was dining a few weeks since with some lady and gentlemen friends, when the conversation lulled for some min utes, and the silence was interrupted by our admirable hostess, with the odd question, “Judge, how many children have you had ?” “Only 18,” was the prompt reply, “but our youngest is only ten months old, and wife and I think of having a family if we live long enough.” My lady friend looked serious the re mainder of the evening. Whether it originated in a feeling of envy, for it was evident from her age, she could never catch up, or the responsibilities with which she supposed her friend overwhelmed, I could not tell. There were a half dozen girls, that would utter a suppressed sneeze occasionally, that made me believe there was some thing funny in the idea, though I could never see it. My wife has been, and is still, a good looking woman, though getting a little gray. Privately, though she seems in different, she is as proud as Lucifer of this last one. If you desire to find a resting place in her heart, casually mention its beauties, and wind up by saying “it is the image of its mother.” You are embalmed. No need of linen and spices. When I told her, a few days since, that Sarah was 90 and Abraham 100 when Isaac was born, and if we lived we could beat them, and give them two in the deal, she “ smoleda smile ” that indicated it tickled her from centre to circumference. N. B. —Do you keep that local off of the subject of children. “ He’ll get liis foot into it if he don’t mind.” [Atlanta Herald. A Prayer that Created Unpleasant ness Among the Sisters. [Bruuswicker.j They came near having a row in a colored prayer meeting at Keytesville a few nights ago. One of the sisters, who had a grievance prayed : “O, Lord ! look down Dy resembled children hyar dis ebenin’, an’ moob ’em wid Dy grace. Tetch dyar harts wid de spirit ob all ’bounding’ lub. Build up dar faith so strong de debbil can’t budge it, an’ ’specially would we ax, if it am possible wid de Redeemer, dat Dou put a little moah sense into the objusticated pate ob de yailaw wench what am a giggling’ on de bench pre opposite Dy belubbed sarvent.” “What’s dat you’se sayin’ to de Lord ’bout me?” asked the wench, rising to a point of order. Not seeming to notice the interrup tion, the supplicator continued: •‘Gib our fool an’ errin’ sister more disgurnption, O Lordl to see de differ umce atwixt right au’ wrong, an’ larn de huzzy to behave herself in Dy holy sankchooary, ’stead of wrigglum ’round like she was swallawed a corkscrew, an’ tamnatin’ dese salted presinks wid unholy winkins’ atde male an’ masker line proportion ob dis assembled gath ering An’ oh—” “It’s a lie ! good Lord, it’s a lie ! an’ Dou in Dy inflammate wisdom knows I neber done it!” shouted the traduced member, who had now become nearly wild with rage. “Dar’s not one particle of trootin it. It’s a lie, an’ I can mash de lies 1” Then she threw herself over the bench on to the back of the kneeling sister, plunged her hands into the bustle of that devout but indiscreet person and lifted her up bodily. Confusion reigned and dire dismay was in many faces that but. a moment before were bright with the hope of Heaven. But a stalwart deacon finally separated the females, calmed their ex cited feelings, and addressing the re lieved audience in an impressive tone, said: “Bredereu, it am better dat we dwell togeder in impunity. Less ’peal to de throne ob grace dat dar be no moah such graceful disruption in our midst. Will Brudder Johnson please make de ’peal in one ob his powerful prahrs ?” Aud the appeal was well and timely made. Election of School Trustees. The election of one school trustee in each ward and districts of the county, occurred yesterday. In the city, it created little interest, except in two wards, where a fair number of votes were cast, as a matter of compliment to the gentlemen chosen. In the First Ward, M. V. Calvin re ceived 60 votes aud F. T. Lockhart 1. In the Second Ward, E. O’Donnell received 17 votes out of 30 cast. In the Third Ward, John S. David son received all those cast —65 votes. In the Fourth Ward, Francis Cogin received 95 votes, ail that were cast. The gentlemen selected have served the people as members of the Board for some time, and that their official course is thoroughly approved, is evi denced by the complimentary votes they have received. In one ward where a gentlemau’s name was read as a candidate without his consent, the present member was re-elected, al though the name of the gentleman voted for in opposition belongs to a gentleman universally honored and re spected. Recorder’s Court. BEFORE MATHEW SHERON, ESQ. November 6tb. John Anderson, a negro, and a street sprinkler, made a mistake and sprinkl ed too much whiskey along with the water he imbibed, and for which he was “taken in,” and paid $lO and Charles Culpepper was fined $5, and Charles Hughes, $2.50 for intoxication. I. O. G. T. Harmony Lodge, No. 265.—At a reg ular meeting, held last evening, in stalled the following officers, to serve for the ensuing term : W. C. TANARUS., J, W. Taliaferro ; W. Y. TANARUS., Miss Mary Mc- Donough ; W. R. 8., H. D. Leon ; W. F. S., J. A. Simmons ; W. TANARUS., H. T. Peay ; W. C., Dr. DeS. Ford; W. M., William Tanner ; W. L G., W. B. White ; W. O. G;, E. A.

A small but very respectable audi ence, among whom we noticed a large proportion of ladies, attended the sec ond performance of Saulsbury’s Trou badour Company at the Opera House last evening. It is a matter of regret that this very superior troupe have not received the encouragement which talent should receive. The entertain ment commenced with the comedy or “ Little Mother,” with Nellie McHenry in the title role. The company played excellently, and the parental anxiety of Mr. Doubleprong, Salisbury, the lacki daisieal meanderings of iiis son Chris topher, Frank Marder, the kindness of Frank Singleton, John Webster, the absurd blunderings of Bobby Grimes, Mr. Wren, the good sense of Kitty Clark, Nellie McHenry, and love-sick Fanny Clark, Gertie Granville, received appreciative applause. The whole con cluded with the inimitable “Patch work,” with the objectionable “ local hits ” expunged. John T. Raymond will appear here January 14th and 15th. Edwin Booth appears January 27th, 28th aud 29th, opening with “Hamlet.” Both these gentlemen come here under the man agement of John T. Ford. The Savannah News, of yesterday, speaks of the genuine Buffalo Bill troupe in the fol lowing complimentary terms: “ Avery fine audience assembled at the Theatre last evening to greet the second appearance of the Buffalo Bill Combina tion. The performance opened with a sprightly farce, entitled The Widow’s Victim,’ In which M’ile. Morlacehiappeared and, as was the case on the first night, was welcomed with enthusiistieapplau.se. The farce was most excellently presented the va rious characters being well sustained, and was heartily enjoyed by the audience. “The entertainment concluded with the exciting live-act drama, entitled ‘Life on the Border.’ It met with great favor, as was demonstrated by the applause of the house. “ To-night, the last of this excellent com pany in our city, will be presented an en tirely new programme, Including a thril ling border drama, in whic.i Mile. Morlac ehi will appear as ‘ Pale Dove,’ an Indian princess. Buffalo Bill and Texas Jack, and the other favorites, are of course in the caste, and a most entertaining evening may be anticipated by those who attend. The combination are among the best that have visited our city, and certainly deserve a big house on their farewell night.” The Drama in Paris. A correspondent of a London paper, after commenting upon the dismally low level to which the drama generally has fallen in Paris, says, that the pro duction of a genuine comedy or real farce, with all the elements of a com edy iu it, deserves to be chronicled as an event as rare as a sensible political speech either in or oat of the Assembly. He then proceeds to remark that the Palais Royal, of all theatres in Paris, has fairly put the Comedie Fraucaise and Gymnase to the blush by the pro duction of a piece by M. Goudinet, which is likely to prove au enduring success, fully deserving it. It is called “La Panache,” which may be given in English as “Borrowed Plumes,” and shows up one of the commonest foi bles of Frenchmen, with admirable pungency, raciness and wit. The au thor deserves credit for leaving the beaten tracks of Dumas-ism, Sardou ism, &g., aud striking out anew line for himself. The plot merits a description. A fat, middle-aged, pompous French citizen is married, and his wife, like many wives of French bourgeois of that peculiar calibre, is on terms of extreme intimacy with a young man of fashion, who hangs on to the outskirts of official life. This young gentleman, becoming tired of liis liason, gets himself made a Prefect, and iuduces a mutual friend to write to the lady that “he has been made Prefect of Ponterisson.” The lady reads the letter and faints away; in comes her husband, and picks up the letter which has fallen from her hand. He reads it, and jumps to the conclu sion that “he” is the Prefect. He is overjoyed, and immediately travels down to his prefecture to make himself acquainted with the natives. A series of most amusing scenes occur, in which French official pompousness and bourgeois vanity are taken off to the life. The news that the new Prefect has arrived incog nito spreads through the town, and the local authorities forthwith proceed to pay their court; the pompiers give him a serenade, and just as he is preparing to take possession of his prefectorial throne officially, the real Prefect ap pears in the shape of his wife’s friend. It may be imagined from this brief sketch the variety of scenes which keen French wit can build upon it. Surprise is said to be felt in some quarters that M. Goudinet’s play should have been authorized by the censorship. But the relish of the public at seeing a sham Prefect put on the stage so very like some real Prefects, is described as be ing so intense that “La Panache” is one of the events of the day. Southern Pacific Railroad. Mayor Estes yesterday, appointed Capt. James Barrett, J. O. Mathewsou, Esq., H. H. Hickman, Esq., and Major George G. Hull as delegates to the con vention which meets in St. Louis, on the 23d instant, relative to the South ern Pacific Railroad. These gentlemen will attend this convention without ex pense to the city, as they will be fur nished with free tickets to and from St. Louis. Among the advantages claimed for this road are : ••It will be a great benefit to the Southern States. “1. By securing to the Gulf and South At lantic ports their share of the trans-conti nental ousiness, to which, as the shortest line across the continent, they are entitle,!. "2. By stimulating Southern industries and the business of Southern railroads, in enabling Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Missouri and Louisiana to exchange their iron, coal and sugar for the wheat and fruits of California and Texas, and the cop per and other ores of Arizona and New Mexico.” Frightened Children. About 1:30 o’clock, yesterday after noon, a false alarm of fire was turned in from box 513 by the janitor of the Wallack school building. The engines were promptly on hand, but their ser vices were not required. Some of the school children hearing that the build ing was on fire, immediately made a rush for the windows and doors, and it was with great difficulty that the teach ers could keep them in their seats. During the commotion, a little girl, a pupil in Miss Talbot’s school, named Josie Pistoria, fell down and cut her right cheek in a very serious manner, and a young girl in Miss Johnson’s school, fell to the floor insensible, and it was with difficulty that she was re vived. The excitement caused by the false alarm, among the parents of tiio scholars at the schools, was intense.— Washington Chronicle, Nov. 4th. Personal. Through the Savannah News, we learn that William T. Davidson, Esq., of Augusta, has been admitted to prac tice in the United States Courts. It is not surprising to learn that our friend Davidson was warmly welcomed by his Savannah friends, who, in common with his friends here, esteem him a good lawyer, a genial gentleman and a steadfast friend. We are glad to note prosperity showering its favors on such as he. H. Gregg Wright, Esq., the editor of the Chronicle and Sentinel, has been selected by Governor Smith as one of the delegates to represent the State of Georgia in the Convention relative to the Southern Pacific Railroad, which meets in St. Louis on the 23d instant. Although not an orator, we make no doubt, the intelligence, good sense and talents of Mr. Wright will have a marked influence in shaping the action of the Convention. Henry Gwinn, the weli known “pro fessor” of the art of successfully trans acting hotel business, called on us yes terday. The professor is fresh from the courtly society of Europe, and brings with him, photographs of some of the distinguished people of the old World. He is travelling this way in the interests of the Austrian restaurant to be opened in the Centennial build ings, and goes hence to the State Fair at Columbia, S. C. A Warning.—He leaned on the fence, pouring out warm vows of love and ad miration to the lovely beiDg on the other side. It was dark. We could not see her face, but she said: “Pray desist. You are too vacillating. Only a week ago you told that same story three doors below here.” They parted. Gircumstauces Alter Cases, f [Vicksburg Herald.] The other day, while a Vicksburger was riling toward Jackson in his bug gy, LyU saw a long-haired young man sitting-on a roadside fence. There was such ah air of utter desolation about the countryman that the Vicksburger drew rhin aud inquired: “For God’s sake! what ails you, young man?” “Nothing, for God’s sakel” was the meek! reply. “BAI is any one dead?” “H.ain’t heard of anybody but old Matthews, and he went off two months ago.l “Are you sick?” “I | eel kinder bad.” “Vhil, you look bad.

At the Cotton Exchange there has been a dull and declining market, as the natural sequel of the unhealthy excitement inci dent to the corner of last week. As re gards the export trade there has been little of it. The dull foreign markets and de clining gold premium, acting as a check to lower prices, have stimulated business to some extent. Futures have declined in sympathy with spot prices, and also owing to liberal receipts at other ports. Ihe London Times, in its flnancial article, sass the dealings in the foreign and colonial markets have been on a very limited scale during the past week. Sugar is depressed, and previous quotations, notwithstanding the reduced stock in market, cannot be ob tained. Refined sugar barely sold at last week’s prices.

JEFFERSON JENNINGS. octls-frSjc3m AP PLETON’S MIMAS CVlilOPfflllA NEW REVISED EDITION. ENTIRELY REWRITTEN BY THE ABLEST WRITERS ON EVERY SUBJECT. Printed from New Type, and Illustrated with several Thousand Engravings and Maps. The work originally published under the title of THE NEW AMERICAN CYCLO PAEDIA was completed in 1863, since which time, the wide circulation which it has at tained in all parts of the United States, and the signal developments which has taken place in every branch of science, literature and art, have induced the editors and publishers to submit to an exact and thor ough revision, and to issue anew edition , entitled THE AMERICAN CYCLOPEDIA. Within the last ten years the progress of discovery in every department of knowl edge has made anew work of referenoe an imperative want. , The movement of political affairs has kept pace with the discoveries of science, ana their fruitful application to the indus trial and useful arts, and the convenience and refinement of soeial life. Great wars and consequent revolutions have occurred,, involving national changes of peculiar moment. 'Hie civil war of our own coun try, which was at its height when the last volume of the old work appeared, has happily been ended, and a new course of commercial and in dustrial activity has been commenced. Largo accessions to our geographical knowledge Have been made by the indefatigable ex plorers of Africa. The great political revolutions of the last ilocade, with the natural result of the lapse of time, have brought into public view a multitude of new men, whoso names are in every one’s mouth, and of whose lives every one is curious to know the par ticulars. Great battles have been fought and important sieges maintained, of which the details arc as yet preserved only In the newspa pars or in the transient publications of the day, but which ought now to take their place in PERMANENT AND AUTHENTIC HISTORY. lii preparing the present edition for the press, it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to bring down the information to the latest possible dates, and to furnish an accurate account of the most recent discoveries in science, of every fresh pro duction in literature, and of the newest inventions in the practical arts, as well as to give a succinct and original record of of the progress of POLITICAL AND HISTORICAL EVENTS. The work has been begun after long arid careful preliminary labor, and with the most ample resources lor carrying it on to a successful termination. None of the original stereotype plates have been used, but every page has been PRINTED ON NEW TYPE, Forming in fact anew Cycloprodia, with the same plan and compass as its predeces sor, but with a far greater pecuniary ex penditure, and with such improvements in its composition as have been suggested by longer experience and enlarged knowl edge. THE ILLUSTRATIONS, Which are introduced for the first time in the present edition, have been added not for the sake of pictorial effect, but to give greater lucidity and force to the explana tions in the 'texL. They embrace all i branches of science and of natural history, , and depict the most famous and remarka ble features of scenery, architecture and art. as well as the various processes of mechanics and manufactures. Although intended for instruction rather than em bellishment, no pains have been spared to insure their ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE. The cost of their execution is enormous, and it is beiired they will find a welcome reception as an admirable feature of the Cyclopaedia, and worthy of its high eharac- This work is sold to subscribers only, payable on delivery of each volume, it will be complete in Sixteen Large Octavo Volumes, each containing about 800 pages, fully illustrated with several thousand Wood Engravings, and with numerous colored Lithographic Maps.
