THURSDAY. JUNK 14. 1*77.
Savanuiih’s Financial Condition.
The condenses it ns follows
from llic report of the Finance Com
mittee of the City Council:
The liabilities of tho city, determ
ined and undetermined, arc put down
at $1,108,810. *2, while the assets, ac
cording to the valuation pul upon
them by the committee, are only
$584,585. Furthermore, tho estimated
iucome for the year 1877 is $870,(550,
and the estimated expenditures for
tho samo year are $210,450, leaving a
balance of income over expenditures
of $157,200.
There aro pressing for adjustment
claims (matured and unmatured)
amounting to $045,800.82, to which
adding tiro expenses for the liscal
year 1878, estimated at SIBO,OOO,
gives us a total of 81,125,800.82. De
ducting from Ibis tho balance remain
ing over the current expenses of 1877,
and the estimated income of 1878, in
all $457,200, w - will have to overcome
on January Ist, 1870, a deficit of
$008,(500.81. And when the bonds
maturing in 1879, and the indorse
ments of the city on the Atlantic and
flu If Railroad bonds, with interest,
are considered, there will have to be
met a further obligation of $159,000,
making a total indebtedness, present
and prospective, of $1,127,000.82.
The committee further report that
$300,000 is tho highest income that
can bo expected for the city during
tho coining year, while SIBO,OOO is
the smallest Slim to which, by the
strictest economy, tho expenditures
can bo reduced, and, say tbev, this
will afford only 8120,000 excess of
receipts over expenditures for interest.
An Excellent Appointment.
We have the pleasure of stating,
by the authority of Colonel Georg-•
Jones, one of the Directors that Hon.
George IV. Adams has been selected

John A, GratX There were several
other able Kiid . xpe.rienced gentlemen,
seekiug the appi lintuent, among the
number Colonel W. J. Winn, of Lib

officer than C'oloi ml Adams could
have been found in the State. To his
great sagacity and unblemished in
tegrity he unites larg 3 experience in
railroad matters, and l "tiring indus

An Ominovs Emkhaija—A fishy, but
rather well-told story about an un
lucky emerald i: going the r<
The story goes that, the stone was
first in tins possess'., h of one Pony
Moon, a London negro minstrel mau
a gcr, who sold it tirst to Luke A\, t,
who was then in excellent- health;
very soon Y, i .slw .is taken si'-k, w-u
--at the point of death, and wishing to
give Matt Peel something for his
kindness in nursing him, presented
him with the emerald. At once Luke
began to regain his health, but Peel
died after wearing the jewel a year.
Hiram llumscy bought it from the
widow, wore it fora while, and.dying,
bequeathed it to George Christy,
After a few months of droadfu! sulk-r
--ing with epilepsy, Christy died in New
York City" The emerald had been
sold to Slier. Campbell, but ho never
wore it, but loaned it to Unsworth,
who sported it on the stage at Bry
ant’s. * Bryant, Unsworth and Neb.
Seymore all wore the “gravestone,”
and in less than a year the trio, with
Shcr Campbell, were all dead. The
night Noise Seymore died his brother
and Tony Pastor smashed the stone
and scattered tho tiny fragments.
A substitute for gunpowder, inveuteil
in England, is exiled r powder;
it is paper impregnated will) a mixture
of potasgic chlorate, uilrnlu, prasssiato
and chromate, powdered wood char
coal and a little starch. It leaves no
greasy residue on the gun, produces
lose smoke and lest; recoil, and is Jos
impaired by humidity, anu it is live
sixteenths stronger than gunpowder.
Ono of the lost arms of the Venus
of Milo has boon discovered in Greece.
It is hoped that they will bo able to

Adulterated Food.
Tho Canadian Commissioner of
Internal Revenue has been making
an analysis of various articles of food
entering into popular consumption,
and the result of liis investigations is
anything but pleasant. In the course
of his inquiries thu Commissioner
analyzed ono hundred and eighty
articles of food, nim y thn • of which,
or more than lift.y per cent., were
found to bo adulterated. Coffee was
not only mixed with chickory but
with roasted peas and beans also.
Out of ten samples but a single one
was pure. Tea was found to be
adulterated with various noxious
weeds and with willow leaves arti
ficially colored by drugs. Twenty
samples were examined, and but four
of them were found to be pure. Two
specimens were pronounced by the
Commissioner to bo “unfit for human
consumption.” Out of fifty-eight,
samples of milk thirty-four were adul
terated, and out of nineteen specimens
of popper but two were free from
foieign admixtures. All thn samples
of ground cloves, cinnamon, ginger
and mustard were adulterated. The
last named article was discovered to
bo composed of turmeric and wheat
flour. Allspice had a largo portion
of roasted pea meal in its composition,
and ground cloves were eked out with
clove bark, woody fibre and pea meal.
Cinnamon proved to be composed of
cassia bark, pea meal, mustard and
buckwheat busks. The other arti
cles examined were found to be made
np in a similarly fraudulent manner.
Such developments go to show to
what an extent the ordinary every
day articles oftood are tampered with
by unscrupulous dealers, and to p:Jp
the necessity for frequent inspect*
to prevent tho frauds thus practiWd
on the public.
When o man amuses himself toting
a few hundred gallons of water to his
perishing vegetables, he begins to
reflect on the weight and volume of
the fluid represented by even a mod- j
erate shower, say of half an inch. He
considers human weakness as con-
traded with what arc called the forces
of nature; ami he ponders over that
mysterious arrangement of Divine
economy by which co’uitloss millions
of gallons arc floated in vapor over
his head and gently lot down upon
the earth at timely seasons in bene
ficent showers. Maury calculates
that a volume of water equal to a
belt along tho American Atlantic
coast COO miles wide and eleven feet
deep is annually vaporized and
returned to the continent in rain and
snow.
The General Assembly of the Pres
byterian Church South at their recent
session in Now Orleans squarely con
demned all kinds of dancing. One
of the resolutions says: “Some forms
of this amusement are more mischiev
ous than others, the round dance than
the square, the public ball than the
private party, but none of them are
good but all of them are evil and
should be discountenanced, and we
affectionately urge all our Christian
parents not to send their children to
dancing schools, where they acquire
a fondness and an aptitude lor the
dangerous amusement.”

j There is no better time than now to sub

the people of Georgia are now called upon to
