While he was work ing on a railroad, a high bank caved and buried him to the chin, spreading his legs so far apart that his body was split two inches deep. The wound, which was five inches long, was filled with sand, the r< moval of which caused him e'ccruciat hi£ pain. The entire church membership of the Swedenborgians in America is given at 5,000. The Boston society, the largest, has 640 memliers; the New York society, 178; Cincinnati, 172. Witch burning is not recognized us a crime in Russia, although this is the nineteenth century, and the ago of holy missions. Seventeen peasaivts of Nijni- Novgorod met the other day and sol emnly cremated an elderly female resi dent in their neighborhood, who Was sus pected of black cat and broomstick ten dencies. w The court acquitted them all, but directed three of them to make their peace with the church. t, —'* ■ The discovery by explorers in Alaska, that the Yukon river is navigable for steamers 2,500 miles, is important, and places that stream aiuoii" the. lafgest riv ers in the world. About 500 miles from its mouth it receives a very large naviga ble tributary. The basin formed by the confluence is 24miles wide. The Yukon is nearly as large as our Mississippi. There is snow for six months, and with out roads dog-sledges find good traveling. Game abounds, and Indians have an easy life. A new invention has been tried with success in London ill the utilization of the power generated in stopping street cars for the purpose of rc-starting that), and thus saving the extra exertion of the horses. The contrivanceisa coiled spring, which is wound up by the stopping of the car, and, which, when released, acts on the wheels so as to impart motion. It acts, too, as an assistance to horses up a steep grade, the power having been ac quired iu a preceding down grade and kept stored in thespring until the energy is required. What Zulu discipline and rule was is clearly indicated l>y a story told by Ceta wayo himself while on his way down to the place of embarkation. Pointing to a bush, he informed his conductors that in front of that bush Chaka used to sit af ter a battle had been fought in order to hear accusations of cowardice against any of his soldiers. If a man were con victed on what apjieared sufficient evi dence, he wjis expected to stand still with his arm hijjh above his head, while an assegai was slowly and by degrees thrust downward from the armpit till it pierced the heart. ‘ Xwv. strangestnews coming to us from Germany is that a learned doctor has discovered a means of dyeing human eyes any color he likes, not only without injury to the delicate orbs, but, as he asserts, with positive advantage to the powers of sight. He can not only give fair ladies eyes black as night, or blue as orient skies by day, but he can turn them out in hiie of silver or of gold. He says golden, eyes are exceedingly becom ing. Nothing goes down without a name; therefore the German doctor calls his discovery Transmutation. u He declares himself quite ready to guarantee success and harmlessness in the opera tion. Gen. Jon n W. tirrtAquE, w fib is] su perintending the construction of the Pend Oreille Division of the. Northern Pacific Railroad, in explaining to the directors, in New York, why lie had laid trac k frorii a fit v rater said: “A Chinaman consumes three and a half gallons of A’atef a day. These so called heathen insist on washing them selves all over with clean water before going to bed.” The Northern Pacific employs over 400 of them in grading its road.east of the Columbia river. The commissioner of internal revenue has handed in his annual report to the secretary of the ATOM? for the past year. The tables embodied therein show that during the past three years and four months 3,117 illicit distilleries have been seized, G,363 persons arrested for illicit distill ing, and 27 officers and em ployes kiHed and 18 wounded wlrile en gaged in enforcing the internal revenue law. The commissioner says that the State courts have> taken cognizance of these murders and assaults only in a few eases, and they cannot bo relied upon to punish such offences. He therefore recommends the enactment by congress of a law authorizing the United States courts to try and punish persons charged with assaults upon United States officers while the latter are engaged in the per formance of their official duties. The report shows that 5,448 distilleries were registered during the past fiscal year,and 5,347 operated. During the special tax year, ending April 30th, there were 49,- 000,000 gallons of spirits rectified, and during the fiscal yeas tire taxes paid on spirits withdrawn from the warehouse aggregated $4^,‘778,000. Tn discussing the reduction of the tax on tobacco, tlie hbrninftaiGTicr says tliat during four months of the present Iscal year the de crease in receipts from tobacco and snuflj as comparorl with the corresponding pc’ iod last year, was $2,336,000. These figures indicate a decrease for the whole y v ear of $7,000,000, The total produc tion of tobacco and snuff in the United I States during the year was 131,000,000 pounds, an increase of 12,000,000 over' the previous vear. The total amount of | collections ii «>iu tobacco iu all forms was $40,000,(MIO. BRUNSWICK, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, DECEMBER SI, 1 1870. SOVTHEBS SEWS ITEMS.

Once in a bower, fresh and bright, Kissed by tlie sun-rays and the dew, A maid to nee the hot sun’s might Prone on the ground her fair limbs threw, To sleep, to sleep, And dream of some one that she knew, She slept and dreamt a horrid thing— That he she loved from her would stay t And starting up, deep sorrowing, Resolved to seek him out that day. Alas! Atas! •Twas all too true—he’d fled away. Her last love token—just a leaf Os sycamore—love’s emblem bright, She threw away, then juayci tliat grief Might bear her off from mortal sight. Alasl Ala.! Whilst the deed leaf drifted through the night. —AU the Tear Hound. THE EMERALD RING. BY HELEN LL’QUEER. Mrs. Ladis turned from her glass, rn.ti ant and beautiful, and said to her hus band: “I hope, dear, you are satisfied with me, you are so critical about my dress.” Her lord condescended to smile upon the pretty, pouting woman as he replied: “ You are just splendid, Eugenia, and born for rich robds, lace and jewels. But speaking of them, where is yous emerald rang?” “ In nay jewel box, of course." “ No it is ntt't” “How do you know, Edward?” asked she, elevating her eyebrows in surprise. Because 1 looked for it, and y-ou know it is not there, but on the finger of that insufferable coxcomb, Ellery!” “ Edward, what do you mean?” “Just this; if hia attentions and admiration of you are not less pro nounced and your pleasure thereat less apparent I will thrash the puppy, tbatis Mr. Ladis had worked himself into a Sassion of jealousy, and his fine eyes ashed with anger as he stood confront ing his now indignant wife, who, word less, turned to her dressing bureau and began a hasty search for the ring, hop ing to flash back a denial to the unjust suspicions of her husband. But the valuable jewel was gone I For a moment the lady stood with one pink finger pressed upon her rosy lip in a vain men tal cogitation, as to where she had last worn it. Together with a large party- of city friends they were sojourning at one of the fashionable summer mount ain resorts, and the days were spent in picnics and rambles, and the nights upon the balconies or in moon light promenades. She recollected that ouly the previous evening she bad walked with young Ellery; perhaps ho had been a trifle too attentive, and as the ring was large for her slender fingerhe had, as a bit badinage and to tease her, slipped it from of! her hand and was openly wearing it, and her husband was so suspicious and jealous that should he see it upon the gentleman’s finger there would be an unpleasant encounter. These reflections caused her to turn upon her husband a rather flushed face, and with downcast eyes, she said: “ I am ready to go down to dinner, Edward.” “ Come, then,” he returned in his most rigid manner, “ and remember I forbid you to receive even the most trivial attention from Ellery.” “ You are unjust, and your suspicions cruel.” “ And your pretended search for the ring is entirely too elaborate and over acted; and you may as well be informed that not two hours ago I saw the emerald upon the hand of that idiot.” “And I protest,” she answered, draw ing herself up to the most queenly height, “ that if Mr. Ellery has possession of the ring, I do nut know how he ob tained it. But I shall ask him for it at once, and return it to you;” and hastily stripping off ail the costly gems from hfer slender white hands and placing them in her jewel-case, she continued: “ and I make a solemn vow never to wear one of these baubles, these gifts of yours, until you have taken back yom cruel words and relieved me from y our unjust and jealous suspicions.” “ And I forbid you speaking to Ellery upon any conditions, unless you would have me kick the scoundrel out of decent society,” replied her angry husband, as the regal woman coldly took his etofleied arm and was led to the table d’hole. How splendidly and coyly did the young wife demean herself that even': g. She had not the ghost of a smile fur a single one of her many admirers, though she discussed eloquently of art, tcience and music, and succeeded in keeping Ellery at more than arm’s length, and with a haughty bow refused his hand for a dance. And afterwards, as he and a friend were smoking their latest cigar for the night, he said: “ I’ll bet the cbampaigue that Madame Ladis has had a conjugal tiff’ with her savagely jealous husband.” “ Such is married life,” was the laugh ing reply. “Give me freedom and bachelordom before such flashings of cold scorn as that lady showered upon her husband from those wickedly beautiful eyes, at some remark he made upon social pro prieties.” “Oh, he is a jealous dog, and his wife will not lead a happy life with him, 1 fear. But as Tupper has it: “ See then that ye love in faith, scorning petty jeal ousies. For Satan spoileth too much Ly souring it with doubt,” or keep to your resolution, old fellow, and cling to a bachelor life,” advised Ellery, as he said good-night. The next day, according to attange ment, there was to be an excursion tn a famous glen, and Mr. and Mrs. Ladis Came down arrayed in picnic costume, and the excessive upliteticss of the hus band and the pro.ud disdain of tlie wife convinced the observant Ellery that the quarrel had not l»n'ded. AU means of conveyance had pressed into service to bull 1 guests to 16 ' ' Id." "1 shall not be able to go with you to day, Eugenia; I shall have to go to the station and reply promptly, and may be compelled to run down tp the city upon important business.” The face of the lady paled a little at the cold announcement of a separation which, though brief, would be the first since their marriage; and as that flashed upon her tho fine eyes grew misty and her loving woman’s heart forgiving, and bending down to him as he stood by the wagon, she whispered: “lam so sorry. It will spoil the day for me. Cannot Igo with you.” “No; I shall be running about, and you would only be an incumbjancc. Good bye.” He was turning away without even a hand clasp, when she reached out her white, shapely and ringless ope and said: “Good bye, then, Edward; surely we have not been married so long that we may not shake hands.” He glanced coldly at the proffered member and replied in a tone so low that she alone could hear: “You have registered a vow, I be lieve; so have I, and trust wo will not again join hands until you put on your rings, at least the wedding one,” and with the words he turned upon his heel and walked away. There was a great lump in the pretty white throat of the young wife and a mist before her eyes; but she managed to suppress and hide her feelings in the bustle and confusion of starting, and to send cut a ripple of musical laughter at some badinage as her husband drove off, and for his especial benefit; for woman may be loving and forgiving and yield ing by nature, yet the best of them can be provoking and spiteful upon provoca tion—and Mrs, Ladis was no exception to the rule. The day was passed as usual upon such occasions. There was much fatigu ing search after a little enjoyment; much climbing of rocky heights and clambering over rough and slippery ways; sitting upon banks mossy, damp and bug-sheltering; dining with cramped limbs upon cold viands and with limited facilities; for either somebody had for gotten the spoons or cups, and all were surprised that “ they never once thought of forks!” But their appetites were sharpened by exercise and all discom forts made light of, and the deluding creatures went home declaring they had had “ such a splendid time.” In this instance the wagon in which Mrs. Ladis was returning (with many others) broke down upon the rough road, and the others bad to take in the ladies, leaving many of the gentlemen to walk, and it so happened that Mrs. Ladis was assigned a seat in the buggy with young Ellery, he having driven out alone. She knew well enough her husband would be furious over it, but she was not going to render herself ridiculous by declining a simple and necessary courtesy. Yet as they rode along she felt im patience and chagrin at the accident which had thrust her upon her com panion. “ The whole day has been to me an unpleasant one, and I wish I had re mained at home.” she said. “ 1 wish Mr. Ladis could hear you,” laughed Ellery. “He would vote you the most devoted of wives and his con jugal coni delight in the snubbing you iuflict upon your gentlemen friends.” “ 1 suppose I ought to be exceedingly grateful to you, Mr. Ellery, for the privilege of being driven home by you, but I do not feel very kindly disposed toward you at present.” “ Why, Mrs. Landis?” he interrupted. “ What have I done to merit your dis pleasure? I have noticed all day your avoidance of me, and with what reluct ance you accepted a seat in my car riage.” “ I have lost my emerald ring, sir, and I am told that you have been seen wear ing it and knowing, if so, that it must have fraudulently come into your posses sion, I must have naturally felt indig nant, especially as my husband is angry thereat.” “ I regret to be a cause of annoyance to you,” returned he, and while speaking took from his pocket an emerald ring very unlike the one in question. “ You see, madame, that your jealous and sus picious husband—” “ Hush! I will not heara word against him,” interruped the lady. “ 1 have lost my ring, and it was but natural he that he should think—” “ His wife was a giddy flirt, having denied any knowledge of the where abouts of the missing jewel, and insist ing, 1 presume, that I had it with your sanction.” “ Mr. Ellery, I will never speak to you again if you say another word against my husband,” she replied, with indig nant tears springing to her eyes. “ I am not likely to have the oppor tunity, madam, for there comes your lord and master after the wife he neither honors nor trusts.” Nothing could have exceeded the sur prise of Mr. Ladis when they met, to find Iris wife being escorted home by Ellery. They had started in advance of the rest of the company, and consequently the husband had nc knowledge of the acci dent which had thrust her upon him. And the flushed face and indignant manner of the lady he at once construed into signs of guilt at detection, for he well knew his coming must have been ueexpected, she supposing him to have gone to the city. “ I will relieve you of my wife, sir,” said he in his most icy manner and with an angry Hash darken ing his face. As Ellery assisted the lady from bis carriage to that of her husband some imp of darkness must have prompted bls words, for he said: “ That's the way with you husbands. You won’t let another fellow take even one step into your Elysium without put ting in an unwelcome appearance.” Wordless, and with fierce ing from his eves, Mr. .1.- ■■ ■ lb. y ro/S:' ■■t, '' U U Price, $2 00 per Yea*; NUMBER 3. accident that had caused Mrs. Ladis to be in his company. Forgetting every doubt and grievance, the young husband held his wife in his arms, gazed upon her death-white face, and frantically called her name and begged her to speak but a single word. Help came at last, and they bore her home but partially revived and laid her in that unconscious state upon her own bed. The physician who had been sum moned pronounced her in great danger from contusion of the brain. Wearily and slowly the hours dragged along to the young husband, ever a watcher by her side. Tortured by her sufferings lay the poor woman with her spirit wandering ever in a dream land peopled by her husband's doubts of her, his accusations which she attempted to refute in mut terings of indignant protest, and the lit tle hands wandering over the bed in search of the ring; often finding it in imagination, with sighs of contentment, only to be followed by its loss again or some new trouble or misunderstanding between herself and her dearly beloved husband; and all the while her eyes had an unearthly brilliancy, her face flushed, her lips ashy, and even moving. At last the physician forbade the presence of Mr. Ladis. “ I will not answer for her life unless you leave the room,” he said. “ Your presence constantly keeps up the excite ment; your voice increases her delu sions.” “ I will do asyou bid me,” returned the agonized husband, “ provided you pro mise to notify me of any change the in stant it occurs.” The promise given, young Ellery, who had been in constant sympathy with and ministration to Mr-Ladis, led him to his own room, placed him upon a couch and attempted to lead his mind away from the cause of anxiety. In nervous ex pectancy that wouldnot admit of repose, Ladis tossed about the tassels and fin gered the hem of his dressing-gown. “There is something in this corner,” he said; and taking his knife, he made a small incision and out rolled the missing ring of his wife! Then he continued al most wildly: “I remember now; Eu genia sewed up a rent in the garment the very day she lost the fatal ring. It was always large for her and required a guard. She had neglected to put one on and the emerald must have slipped from her finger. And I, miserable wretch that I am. tortured her with doubts and mistrust, and if she dies I shall have been her murderer!” In vain Ellery attempted to cheer and speak words of hope. But springing to his feet Ladis paced the floor rapidly and continued: “ I tell you, but for my ceaseless jealous rage, my poor wife would not now be lying there a victim of that acci dent. If she dies, I shall have been her murderer, and cannot, will not, survive her.” “ You must not yield to this mad ness,-' said his friend. “ True, you have cruelly wronged your wife, and are but receiving a justly merited punishment, and must submit to the blow; and should the worst come and seal a life sep::ration, it would bo better for you both than the life you had commenced to inaugurate with that pure, sensitive and trusting woman.” “ I know it; God help me!” exclaimed the contrite, broken-hearted man, as he sank into a chair, and covering his face with his hands, wept repentant tears— that balm of Gilead for a tortured souk Long hours passed before Mr. Ladis was summoned to the side of his wife. She had at last sank into a quiet and peaceful slumber, and he was permitted to watch alone by her bedside for the same awakening the physician had pre dicted was to follow. The blackness of night had faded into the rosy dawn of a new day, before she opened her eyes to meet the loving ones bending over her. There was a silent meeting of lips; whispered words of assurance an t thankfulness from the husband, as ho bedewed her hands with tearsand covered them with kisses. In reply she only whispered lowly and trembingiy, though joyfully: “ Bring me my rings, Edward.” He did as she had requested, and slipped them one by one upon the poor white hands, even to the last emerald, and sealed them with a kiss, explaining briefly how the wiring one had been found. And at last, when Mr. Ellery came with the physician for tidings of the invalid, they found her slumbering sweetly with her head upon the breast of her husband, whose face smiled upon them unspeakable joy and thanks for the life preserved and their kind administra tions. Since that hour, life has glided for them as a peaceful stream, with no vain coquettishness upon the part of the wife, and no jealous doubts on that of the husband. WAIFS AND WHIMS.
