MA0097, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12,18C9. nttSkallReap ttaeBenefit? Hie rapidity with which Georgia Lands -are rising in price and the heavy margin, still left for increasing valuation, suggests the inquiry, who shall reap the benefits of the rise ? Shall it inure to strangers or the children cf the soil ? We beg our young men to note the signs of the times. Three years ago you could hardly give away these lands at a nominal value. Plant ation property was not worth the improvements upon it. Now, ^ery quietly all the sagacious are buying, and the rise since that time has b9en 300 per cent., or more. In three years from this time the rise will have been as great. There is no business in the world with a more assured future before it than Southern agricnl tore ! ’ Save your money, then, young men, and buy lands, 'rum your attention to farming and abandon the far leas manly and more perilous aqd unprofitable avocations of the town. ’Don’t wait till the operations of Northern and Western speculators show you the value of Georgia soil, before you buy your homestead and devote your selves to building up your borne and fortunes upon your own standing. Governor Seed, of Florida. •Isit lawful for the New York Tribune, and such as he, to make themselves merry over the follies and vices of tbo political adventurers— the King Logs—they have installed in the gov- emmenfc of their unhappy victims, the Southern People?- If they are past blushing with 6liame. does not decency at least require them to keep silence? The Tribune of the -Gtlx makes itself . merry ever 'the pranks of Gov. Harrison Reed, of Florida, and particularly his official puffs of relatives, of which the Tribune prints the following 6nmplo:’ Executive Office, > Tallahassee, Florida, Jnly, 1869.) " • To At.t.

He is thor oughly honest and competent, and I will guar antee faithful and prompt attention to all busi ness intrusted to him,'and an honest account for all proceeds to the last dollar. • Hamuson Reed, Governor of Florida. • All this quay bo ridiculous enough; but has the Tribune nothing to say about the affidavit of that loyfil radical Major Sherman Conant, of the United-States Army, wherein he swears to . reading a letter from Swepson to Gov. Reed,'-by which the latter was convicted of bargaining-to sell his official approval of a. fraudulent railway bill for the -sum of seven -thousand dollars >in money.and a.release of his property from a mortgage to -Swepson for five thousand dollars? Can’t the NetfTork Tribune withdraw his at- tention ono moment from the folly and vulgar- - ity of this>so-called Gov. Hoed, to his shameless . dishonesty .andxorrnption ? San Domingo.—One of the jobs of the com- '• ing session of Congress, says the Charleston « Courier, wiC he the purchase of the Negro Re public of Sax. -Domingo. Its political divisions are five provinces and two maritime* districts, and its population is . estimated at- £»0,-COO souls, of which perhaps 40,000 are wikite, or pass for white.

Conuar Fairs.—The <3olumbus Enquirer says the-experiment just-closed at Opelika, has confirmed some of our ^business men ia the opinion that it would be -to the interest of onr . city to arrange for a County Fair to be held here eaeb year in October or November. These ’ • fairs are being organized Jmmost of the South ern States, and in many oonnties in our own State. Itia believed-thtt largo crowds would be attracted hither, and that the expense ef the necessary enclosure and. buildings would be met by the-ilrst or seoiud tfzir. Most pec- - r sons agree that while the display of articles and - y stock at .Opelika was not up to expectations, im- • menso crowds <o£ people .were collected from all . the surrounding, country, and that the money , accumulated was not inconsiderable. ERUPTION OF A VOLCANO. Parker Pillsbery is well known by reputation Moumain^u^lre-Se^ *3* ^— nr' s an incendiaiy and_brawler of the most “ad- i of Lire anii Property, vanced" species.

At 11 o’clock on the morning of the 4th the River Cauca was quite dry. The Governor of the Department, fearing that another and more serious rise in the river might occur at other points, ordered the in habitants of the different villages along the river banks to move with their cattle to the higher lands, where they would be safe. The news by the next mail is looked forward to with much anxiety. -• Tul2 Thorctavtlle Enterprise having recently , asserted, on tbe authority of a gentleman from -Cuthbert, that the Cambridge, Cuihbert and ■ Columbus Railroad-had no real charter—the bill . incorporating it never having been engrossed or signed -by the Governor—the Cuthbert Appeal is authorized by CeLjHood, the attorney of the road, to-state- that ‘t&e bill incorporating the .Company was duly engrossed, and being pockct- ', ed by t he'Governor, became a law at the expira- ,oion of the period designated by the statute;” -.?!so that the President and Secretary htvecapies ihf -t he act of incorporation certified by lie Sec- jjijary of State. /IisinvAY Ecbbeby.-—The Rev. W. M. Watts, a worthy preacher of the K. E. Church South, in Effingham county, Ga., .vras stopped a few days cinco by a gang of white and black high waymen, and robbed of his valise, clothes and money—with a pistol at Jiia head. He -had nearly J&l 4ft stolen, a good part of which had been eollected-from his congregations, for mis sionary .and other charch purposes, as contribu tions to tthe approaching Conference of his Church. * A Prophet.—A private letter received in Washington from a prominent goverznent official in New York contains a prediction that before the holidays a crash will occur in Wall street whioh will ©quad in its disastrous consequences .fhe effects of the recent Fish-Gould conspiracy. ‘JThe writer farther says values generally .have ,& downward tendency, and thinks that specie p&ymenta may be reached without difficulty foe- .foje the 1st of JnJyjoext. * ■ Representation in -Congress.—The Census Committee will meet in Washington on the 17th inst. The important question of reducing the ratio at representation in Congress, and there by, while increasing the number of members of the House, reducing the labor of correspondence, .etc., now devolved upon them, will be considered by the committee. It has many friends, and promises to.be a subject of more than ordinary Attention during the next session. Work in the .government printing office is so mnch in arrears that the annual reports and documents, will not be ready at the meeting Of Congress. Cause, the absence of managing men attending to politics, and the effort to force negroes into the working force. The following is (he official vote of Ohio at the la*© election: Hayes 285,072; Pendleton 228,882 j majority for Hayes 7040. Last year fhe Radical majority was 17,883. The vote this year was 21,000 less than last year. It is a bad failure. ... its head, if it have shy head, there is no sound ness in it, none whatever. It began where it should have left off, with political organizations, with suffrage and sovereignty; when the first lessons in civilization'had not been learned, had not been taught, andhave not yet been taught. But parky snpremeoy required the measure, and it was edopted, against all the dictates of genu ine statesmanship, as-well as the demands of justice and humanity. And hence its failure, as could not but have been expected.” But reconstruction has not yet fairly begun to disclose the depth of its own failure. Let no man suppose that-the bitter insults and degra dation it inflicted upon the vanquished and de fenceless people of the South will be forgotten by them or thei? children to the third and fourth generations. We So not mean that the people of the South will be violent or vindictive; but it is certainly a plain deduction of reason, experience ard-common sense that they most feel an invincible -repugnance to politicians and a party organization which has pursued them in so illiberal, viiidictive and unconstitutional a temper. Radical reconstruction has forfeited to that party all reasonable hope of valuable co-opera tion and support in this quarter, and here is where its failure will be manifest and signal. It sought to make n negro party which shonld dominate over the -whites, and so by force of race snbversion bring these States to the sup port of radicalism. The result,in8piteof all their efforts to the contrary, will be the loss of all the Southern States, and with that a loss of con trol of the government. And finally, we uo not doubt that the most active reconstructionists—those who have- car ried it so haughtily and uncompromisingly in the Congressional Committees, will be thor oughly ashamed of-their record and most anx ious to blot itout. It is impossible that such a carnival of intolerance, tyranny and lawlessness shonld not figure as a disgraceful episode in American polities. When the South has resumed her position in the American Union, from which she cannot be much-longer excluded,-it will not long be a feeble and unimportant one. Neither will it be long wielded by the hordes of stupid and greedy adventurers who now bur lesque Southern representations. She will be represented by her own sons—by young men of intelligence and capacity, and backed by strong, energetic and .wealthy constituency- worthy the alliance of any section or party. We .seed not say that radicalism will have its peace to make, if it can, with -the “new South”—not a new South imported from New England—but •a new South rising Fhconix-like from the ashes of funeral pyres fired by the hand of radical ism. From Henrae County. We clip the following from the Monroe Ad wertiser of yesterday ; The sales of land last Tuesday were as fol lows : Estate of Aquila Cheney, containing seven hundred acres, to Thomas Dewberry, for $GI 10. A parcel of land belonging to the estate of Baldwin Davis, containing nbont nine hundred and fifty acres, to Wm. Maynard, $9100. One hundred and ten acres belonging to the estate of Thomas Hathorn, to Wm. Dewberry, for $625.

Pennington, who had his horse power on exhibition, and by Mr. Green Jordan, who exhibited a fine thoroughbred Diomede colt, just from Tennessee. The dry weather is interfering somcwbnt -with the preparations of oar farming friends for the wheat crop. We hope that the “gentle rains” may descend in ample time for the sowing of an nnusnally large area. We regret to learn that tho gin-house of John Green, Esq., of this county, was burned one sight last week. The loss is estimated at about one thousand dollars. We cannot do better then repeat tho warning given to planters in these columns last week, in regard to the storing of cotton. Tho plantation, under tho new order of things, has come to be a very unsafe place, and farmers who allow cotton to lie in their gin houses do so at their own risk. Tub National Intelliganoer says: Senator Morton and Representatives Bingham and But ler have prepared speeches in advocacy of the ey-iAe of Cuba, which they will deliver soon ti ter the assembling of.Congress, The Itome Fair.

A great variety of farming implements, ma chinery, household and domestic economy of every description and kind, fine stock, etc., were on exhibition. The ladies’ department •was eminently successful. The department for exhibition of farming implements was novel and interesting. Brinley, Dodge, Collins, Bey- .nolds, and many others were here with their elegantly finished plows, and urging their claims for superiority. They move from here to your city. .Let the planters pay them special atten tion. .Quite a number of fine stallions were on exhibition. Captain Roper, of Bartow, was awarded first premium. Captain Henry Styles’ first premium for fastest pacer. Ho.carries his noble steed to Macon. Let others look sharp for Styles is hard to beat. But the most attractive article on exhibition was a churn patented and exhibited by Captain William L. Gordon, formerly of your city, and brother to Gen. John B. Gordon. It is simple and cheap. I saw a lady from the rural districts nurse her babe, -examine fashions in Godey’s Lady’s Book, and “make the butter come” in -eight minutes. It has taken a premium wher ever exhibited, and will be carried to Maoon. Ia fact, everything and everybody goes from here to your beautiful nity. Please urge upon your good people the great importance of mak ing extensive arrangements for the accommoda tion of ladies and children. Let the hotels be reserved mainly for ladies and children; and if a room is let to a gentleman, let it be under stood that it will have to be surrendered, if needed, to a lady. Men can bunk in anywhere; but many - ladies and children will be driven away, if they fail to secure comfortable lodg ing. Keep this before the people. The tournament here was a success, and will meet all brave Knights in open field at the Macon Fair. Bill Arp will be there too. rt, • Mux. . BY TEBEGTlABiar. ACCIDENT TO THE SPECIAL ’VJtAIJt.

L. R. The Result in West Virgfnia-The State Carried toy the Democrats; From the Wheeling Hegitter. November 4.] We are at last able to form a tolerably definite idea of- the result of our State election last Thursday. It exceeds our most sanguine hope. While our neighboring States of Pennsylvania and Ohio seem to have abated but little of their determination to adhere to the fortunes of Rad icalism. West Virginia, uninfluenced by their example, has most emphatically called a halt. After a calm and undemonstrative canvass, con ducted almost' entirely - by tho press of the State, upon the single issue of the partizan pro scription; the voters of West Virginia, have changed front with a dreadful suddenness, and by a startling uprising have laid out the policy of disfranchisement as cold as Sir Johb Frank lin’s bones. We havo tolerably fair returns from forty counties in the State, which elect forty-six mem bers to the ‘House. Of these the Democrats have twenty. The liberal Republicans, supported by the Democrats on the platform of the prompt re peal of all test oaths and disabling measures, number ten. Definite returns from the remaining thirteen connties, all in the southwest, have not been re ceived. A telegram received in this city yes terday, however, stated that the entire south western range of counties had been carried by the Democrats. Making due allowance for tho panicky condition of. our Republican friends, whose consternation may have cansed this in formation to be exaggerated, wo think the fol lowing would bo a fair estimate of results in the counties not definitely reported; Republican, 3; Democrats, 4. This will give the Democrats twenty-four members of the House, the Repubi- eans nineteen and tho Liberals thirteen. Wo are well satisfied that the final figures will cause this classification to vaTy very little, if any. To tho Senate twelve members havo just been elected, eleven to succeed those whose term has expired, and one to fill a vacancy in the Tenth District As between tho proscriptives on tho one side, and the liberals and Democrats on the other, the now members are evenly divided upon the “let-up” policy. Two Democrats and eight Republicans hold over, hut as it is understood that several of the Republicans holding over are avowedly in favor of repeating our disfranchising laws, there is ample reason for the Rope that the Senate will meet the House half way upon the question of reform. The unexpected -but emphatic expression of the popular will just had throughout the State will certainly havo its weight in th9 minds of all faithful representatives, and hence we cherish the belief that the next Legislature will do its full duty in the way of thoroughly adapting onr laws to the -freest ideas of a Republican govern ment.

Walker is insensible andnnable to take medicine. Chaa. J. Falger succeeds Butterfield The President tenders Thos. J. Durant the United Sewerage in Savannah. We see from the Republican that this Subject w*as up for discussion at a, meeting of the Geor gia Historical Society, last Monday. Savannah is favorably situated for a perfect system of drainage, nnd delay in commencing it will vastly increase the ultimate cost. We quote from the proceeding-, of the Society: Dr. Charters first read a paper, showing the necessity of a thorough drainage of the city, to avoid the existence of miasma, which is a fruit ful source of bilious diseases, and recommended the adoption of a Bystem which will be suffi ciently expansive to Bupply the wants of a great OUR FUTURE POPULATION. From the Conetitutinnalint.) ' *• In our comments in Sunday’s issue, on Mr. David Dickson’s calculation as to the future pop ulation of this country, we only endeavored to show that, by his own basis of an increase of 3,000,000 every seven years, the population would not amount in 1959 to more than 78;000,- 000. But- while considering Mr. Dickson’s cal culation of 507,000,000, astounding, we are sat isfied that the aggregate of the sum, as worked out by us, is much too small.

Oalifomia Oorreepondence of Hartford Timer.] On Saturday last we visited the Cliff House, situated beyond-the bay on the Pacific Ocean. The great attraction there is the sea lions, which inhabit a cluster of rocks 500 feet from the shore. The hotel is built on a rock founda tion which is washed by the waves of the ocean, and a broad verandah is attached, from which we get a good view of the lions. More than a hundred of them were lying upon the rocks on Satnrday, and sohools of them were playing abont in the water. When they come out of the water with their fin-like feet upon tho rocks (one of which rocks is 80 feet in height, and they go to the very top of it,) they lie in the sun till they are thoroughly dry; then they set np a loud barking like mastiffs and finally wad dle down, and pluDge, head first into the water. They resemble seals, though their heads are heavier, and they are bodily much laTger. They weigh from 2,000 to 3,000 pounds, and one old fellow, tho king of the colony, who has lost one eye, weighs, it is said, at least 3,500 ponnds. Wo saw him on tho top of the high rock, and drew him np close with glasses. Ho was a monstrous piece of blubber,.and roared like a bnll-dog. He swims over to another col ony of the sea lions, thirty miles distant, and spends two or three weeks among them abont twice a year. His name is “General Butler.” These animals are protected by tho State laws, and are not allowed to bo killed. We conld dis tinctly see a few seals among them, and some little young sea lions. The old ones fight fear fully sometimes, and tear each other’s flesh in a shocking manner. They have four tusks each as large os those of an Asiatic lion. surrounded with swamps, hud yet the bilious diseases in the city were of a milder, type than in any other city in America. Ho attributed this satisfactory sanitary condition to the fact that a large proportion of these swamps were covered with water during the sammer. He recommended the construction of a canal south of the city of sufficient capacity in width and depth to pass all the .water in the swamps into the Vernon river. He also insisted that the capacity and fall of the sewers in the city should bo increased. Mr. A. Schwaab then read a paper in which he reviewed tho history of sinks and water closets in the great cities of Europe and America, and condemned the system which seems to have been adopted in Savannah, by which the water of the wells, as well as the atmosphere, are poisoned. Mr. Phillips also read a paper, in which he dismissed the impurities of the well water in Sa vannah, and attributed it to the system of sinks and water closets which prevails in the city. He stated that woll water was either supplied by subterranean springs or by infiltration from the surface, and that there are now in the cesspools which have existed for more then one hundred years, the contents of which percolate through the porous soil of which the bluff on which the city stands is composed, and poison the water in our wells.

London, November 10.—Gladstone, at the Lord Mayor’s festival, spoke discouragingly regardinglre- land claiming peace with all tbo world. Gladstone said: “One partial exception I ought to make, and it is an exception which is of the deepest interest to Englishmen, viz: Our relations with America; but there ia no occasion in which I could moro appro priately refer to these relations, or better describe them than of thoso of peace and concord. Were I to attempt to depart from that friendly strain I should bo admonished to judgo moro correctly, and speak moro wisely, by an event which has happened within’ thiB city during tho last few days. I refer to the doathof George Peabody, a man whose splendid beneficence will secure immortality for his name in that which he regarded as his old mother country, but whoso fame likowiBO, and in a broader sense, is applicable to all humanity. He has taught us tho most neodfnl of all lessons—how a man can be made master of his fortune and not its slave; and it is most touching to know what I have learned from his friends, that while some men would have been unhappy at the idea of dying in a foreign land, his affections were so divided between the land of his birth and the land of his ancestors, that that which had been the fondest of his wishes may now bo re alized, to be buried in America but to die in England; but with Mr. Peabody’s country we are not likely to quarrel. “It is true that care ana, skill in diplomacy, animated though it has been by the purest and most upright feelings, although it has not imperilled our peace it has failed to load to the first issue, up to the present moment, upon the tangled questions of law which have been in discussion between the two countries. Considerable delay has taken place, yet every delay,instead of leading to danger, was prompt ed by considerate good will and a desire to allow the intervention of a limited time in order to obviate the difficulties. [Cheers.] I believe the world would view with horror a parricidal, strife between England and America; hut such a state of things is not likely to arise from onr own present relations, and my confidence is In tbo sentiments whioh I know animate the American Government, as is well known, and which animate the minds of tbe people of the best two countries.” [Cheers.] Dublin, November 10.—A Fenian amnesty meet ing was dispersed by a mob last night.

The analysis proved that in every instance most of the substance consistedof water or sand or corbonate or sulphate of lime, or some other material of little, value. These materials were mixed with phosphates and nitrogenous matters in very different proportions; but the really valuable component parts aro bat a small pro portion of the whole. Prof. Johnson reported there was good reason to suppose that some of the articles sold as fertilizers, and for which high prices were paid, were the products of de liberate fraud; their value to the farmer being in strange contrast with the price at which they are offered and advertised. The sample which proved the best of all is sold for $50 per ton. and contains actual fer tilizing ingredients whiohit would cost the farm er $47 32 in gold, or more than $GO in currency, to buy separately in any common form. Next to this comes one, the usefnl parte of a ton of which are reckoned to be worth $32 09 in gold, and which is sold at $G5 in currency. On the other hand, a popular, article, sold at $28 per ton, is estimated to bo really worth as a fertil izer not more than $2 33 per ton in gold, orbut one-ninth of its price; and many other favorite articles of this class seem to deserve their repu tation but little better, if the samples obtained by Mr. Gold and tested by Professor Johnson were fair specimens. It is not to be supposed that swindling in fer tilizers is confiued to New England. Indeed, wo question whether this business of swindling is carried on to a greater extent in any other State in the Union, than in the State of New York. The above statements point more strongly than ever to the necessity which wo have so long and so persistently nrged, of some action on the part of onr State authorities, for the pro tection of farmers in the purchase of fertilizers. We trust tUat the next Legislature will take ac tion upon tbe subject, and make the penalties for this kind of rascality sufficient to check, if not prevent it.— Utica Herald. pate a like increase for the first decade in the next 90 years, which would give the enormous number of inhabitants in 1880 of 78,000,000. Let ns take the statistics of Georgia. Her population since the formation of the Govern ment has been as follows : Total. 82,548 162,101 252,433 340,983 510,823 091,392 906,185 1,057,286 It will be seen from these figures that the per centage of increase the first ten years was 96^; for the next ten years abont 56: the third de cade, 35; the fourth, 51i; the fifth, abont 34 ^ the sixth, 31 ; and the seventh decade, only about lCj per cent. Taking the last decade of ten years, srom 1850 to 1860, as a fair basis to predicate the futnre on, and granting that the negroes will not increase as, heretofore, we think it will be safe to say that, without 'a very large number of immigrants, the population of our State will increase, in the next ninety yeans, at the rate of fifteen per cent, every decade, which would give the following results: 1S70 (supposed) 1,200.000 1880 ......: 1,3X0,000 1890 '.....1,587,000 1900.. ...;..;...... ....1,824,000 1910 2.100,000 1920 2,415.000 1930 t... .....2,785,000 1940.;.. -....3,205,000 1960.. ...... .......3,700,000 . This would be about three times present num ber, and if the same per centage is applicable to the whole country, would give an aggregate of inhabitants, in I960, of about 120,000,000. But, from the large immigration flowing into the country,, ouside of Georgia, wo should deem twenty-five per cent., every decade, a nearer es timate for the whole country, and' that would give about 200.000,000 in I960. Even this nnm r her is small, when the area of territory is con sidered, as compared with other countries.

A correspondent of the New Orleans Picayune writes from the Southern Club in New York, (No. 2 Clinton Place>as follows-; ' I think it quite probable that the readers of the Picayune are unaware of the existence of this club, which I visited for the first time to night. The club appeared to be composed of the young, active business men of the city, who had recently emigrated f rom the Southern States, and I must confess that I was surprised to find in the register none of the names of those gen tlemen residing hero who had borne a conspicu ous part in the “late unpleasantness” between the North and South, especially as the members had resolved to enregister to enable them to ex ercise tho privilege of tho elective franchise. The club is a social one, organized for the inter change of amenities of those having natural affinities from similarity of sentiment and gen eral sympathy. The contrast between the im migrants to the South from the North, and from the South to the North, was the subject of gem eral remark. Those from the North to the South entering immediately the political arena on their arrival, and' assuming to themselves the monop oly of the government, while those from the South to the North have sedulously abstained from either local or general politics. ■' In the city of New York there are said to bo sixteen thousand Southern boro residents, of which number less than one hundred have qual ified themselves for exercising the elective fran chise. The subject coming up casually in the club, it was ascertained that only two of the members had evinced sufficient interest in the affairs of the country to have themselves regis tered, whereupon it was agreed that they all register, if for no other purpose than to exhibit a willingness to comply with the law governing the oommunity where they reside. It occurred to me that these gentlemen might make their club of vastly more importance than they are likely to exercise by acting as a central point for the collection and diffusion of general in formation. True, every mercantile house' of any consequence in this city employs a com mercial agent in each of the Southern States, but those residing in. the Southern States are not equally fortunate in the means of obtaining reliable information from the great metropolis. This, they might accomplish by correspondence with members of the club from their respective States.. I regarded the Society, in a commer cial point of view, as of considerable impor tance, and was astonished to learn that it was the first organization of the kind systematically arranged this side of the Potomac.” A ROMANTIC NARRATIVE. A Chapter in the Life or a Red River Trader. The following story is told by a Minnesota paper: “Among the most prominent merchants in Rio Janeiro, Brazil, some fifteen' years ago, was a young Englishman, who was possessed not only of a fine form and handsome features, but also of a snug fortune, the result of his own industry and business ability. His business re quired that he shonld make occasional visits to England, and he had crossed the Atlantic many times. During ono of these visits, he met his fate in the shape of a beautiful orphan girl, who accompanied him on his voyage back to Rio Janeiro as his wife. For a number of years they led a happy married life, , and two children were boro unto them. The husband prospered in business' and continued to make occasional visits to England, leaving his family at Rio Ja neiro. It was after his return from one of these visits that he heard for the first time whispers, against his wife. She indignantly denied the charges made against her, and dared him to produce proof of bis assertions. This he could not do, but a coolness arose between them which became insupportable, and a separation was agreed upon. They were divorced accord ing to the law3 of Brazil, the husband settling upon her- a handsome annuity, which should continue during her life, or until she should marry again, when it should cease, she retain ing the custody of the children. , „ '“Unable to remain at Ri 0 Janeiro, the hus band wound up his business, converted his property into money, and became a wanderer upon the earth. He finally accompanied a party to Fort Garry, Minnesota, whfere the isolation from the world suited him, and he concluded to remain. Again he embarked in business, and became known to many of the principal citizens and business men of St. Paul, not one of whom ever suspected the hidden sorrow which impels him to bury hiuiself amid the savage surround ings of the far Northwest. “The wife, in course of time loved again, and notwithstanding she lost her handsome annuity, she married a gentleman of scholarly attain ments and bnt little means. With him she lived happily for two years, whenhe died, leaving her and her two children in destitute circumstances. During all this time she heard occasionally from her former husband through his letters to- his friends at Rio Janeiro, and from them she learned that he still cherished for hor a love that would continue until dcathf The death of her second husband left her almost penni less. And being convinced of the unalterable love of her first husband she resolved, for the sake of her children, to seek out her divorced husband, and with them throw herself at his feet and implore him to take them back. In pursuance of this determination she commenced her long and tedious journey from Brazil to British America. She arrived in St. Paul a few days ago, accompanied by her' children. It was daring her short stay here that we obtained the above particulars from her. She remained only two days in St. Paul to rest, and then proceeded on her journey to Fort Garry. “The lady is still in the prime of life, and re tains all the beauty which first won the heart of her former husband. We suppress the names of the parties out of regard to their feelings, as should we give the gentleman’s name, many of our citizens would recognize it as that of oue of the leading traders of the Red River settle ment.” , Saved by Presence of Mind.—The New York Evening Mail says: “Miss Emma Ames, one of the Fifth avenue dramatic company, who was burned » few eve nings since by her dress taking fire on the stage, is in a fair way of recovery. Her great presence of mind saved her life. When she found herself enveloped in a sheet of fire, instead of scream ing, as most people would, she instantly put her hand over her month, to prevent the inhalation of the flames. Her first thought was to ran be hind the scene and down stairs. The carpenter seeing her before she readied the steps, and Residence or Prof. Bates Burned.

The fire broke out on the roof of the building, and so high was the wind and so very dry the roof of the house, that the flames could not be arrested. Most of the household furni ture was saved. - • . The violence of the wind prevailing at the time greatly imperilled other houses in the vi cinity. At'one time, one of the out-buildings on Col. MoAdoo’s premises was actually on fire from a spark borne through the air fully 200 yards; bnt the promptitude of that gentleman in ascending to the roof enabled him to extinguish it speedily with his own hands.
