BY JAMES GARDNER.
WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY' 14.
Fontraet Adverli^rs
Must remember that five o’clock, P. M., every
(lav, s the latest hour for receiving their adver
t isiug favors, for publication ihe ensuing morning
Episcopal Church Fair.
We call attention U» the Fair of the Episcopal
Church, for the benefit of the Episcopal Orphan
Asylum. It takes place this afternoon at Masonic
Hall.
Strawberries.
We do confess to a fondness for the delicious
fruit, and we keep our plate in right position. Yes
terday. Mr. Wm. Haines sent us a basket of
strawberries, and we noticed some few of the
largest size we ever beheld, and all were of most
excellent liavor.
Fine Carriages, Buggies, \c.
In looking around yesterday, we noticed, at Mr.
Luther Roll’s establishment, at the corner of
Washington and Reynolds streets, among a large
collection of Carriages, Coaches, Rockawavs, Bug
gies, Ac., a splendid silver mounted Coach, on
three springs, trimmed in handsome style, with
fancy orange colored brocatelle, and neatly deco
rated and furnished with gorgeous tassels, blinds,
glasses, &c. It is well worthy of a visit to Mr.
Roll’s establishment to view this Coach, as well
a* the many tine vehicles he has there.
Georgia Kail road Convention.
The stockholders met at the Masonic Hall yes
terday morning, and the meeting was duly orga
nized. At the afternoon session, the President
submitted his annual Report, with accompanying
documents. It exhibits the affairs of the Compa
ny in a highly satisfactory and prosperous state.
The facts disclosed fully justify the large advance
that has recently taken place in the market value
of the stock. The prospect is that the stock will
gradually rise, until it reaches as high a point as
it has ever hitherto attained. It is intrinsically
worth as much now as at any former period.
We will to-morrow publish the Report of Mr.
Ring, the President, in full.
Portable Gas Works.
Weinviteattentionto Mr. Wm Schley's ad vertise
ment in this morning’s paper. We cordially com
mend his Gas apparatus to public patronage. Two
experiments are already in successful operation in
our city, as referred to in the advertisement. W<-
are informed that the gas furnished by this appa
ratus costs the consumers less than $2,50 per one
thousand cubic feet. The City Gas Company charge
the enormous sum of $7.00 per thousand. The
latter has certainly uo advantage over the works
erected by Mr. Schley in the purity, clearness and
beauty of the light. The manufacture is so simple
and easy that almost any servant who can build a
a coal fire can attend to it.
In villages, at watering-places, in hotels, in facto
ries and otherlarge buildingsiti thecountry, where
the conveniencies of Gas Companies are not to be
had, this apparatus will be found most admirable.
Twoor threehusiness houses orprivatefamiliescau
combine in many cases, so as to he supplied by
one apapratus. After the first eost, the expense
will be comparatively small, where fuel is cheap,
while the superiority of the light is sufficient to
tempt all who can afford the outlay to patronize
Mu. Schley.
Interesting to Planters and Farmers.
There will be a public exhibition this morning,
commencing at 10 o’clock, in front of the store ot
Messrs. Carmichael 4 Bean, of a new and valutt
ble combined Reaping and Mowing Machine, am!
we earnestly invite all interested to call and exam
ine it, and see its operation. From what we have
seen, heard and read of this “Kentucky Harvest
er,” we are decidedly of the opinion that it is bet
ter adapted < being Southern made) to the wants
of our people than any other machine yet intro
duced. We refer to the advertisement in our pa
per, of to-day, headed “Kentucky Harvester,”
which states specifically what the machine will do.
Jlarble Monuments, Slabs, <&c.
We invito attention to Mr. Mark Walters’ adver
tisement, in another column. A visit to his niarhh
yard, a few steps below the City Hotel, will b*
agreeably enjoyed in witnessing some of his chaste
and classic handiwork in sculpture. Among
many neat pieces of workmanship in the yard is
the monument to Dr. James D. Mackie,ordered by
the flood Samaritan Society of this city. We re
gret that we have not time to refer more particu
larly to the beautiful pieces of workmanship in
marblein Mr. M arkwalter’s yard.

Allison, the Historian, on Fouis Napo
leon.
In the new volume of Allison’s History of Eu
rope, appears the following foot-note by the an
thor, in reference to Loris Napoleon’s early belief
that his destiny was to rule over the fortunes of
France:
“The idea of a destiny, and his having a mis
sion to perform, was throughout a fixed one in
Louis Napoleon’s mind. No disasters shook his
confidence in his star, or his belief in the ultimate
fulfillment of his dcstinv. This is well known to
all who were intimate with him in this country af
ter he returned from America in 1837. Among
other noble houses, the hospitality of which he
shared, was that of the Duke of Montrose, at Bu
chanan, near Loch Lomond, and the Duke’of Ham
ilton, at Brodick Castle, in the Island of Arran.
His manner in both was grave and taciturn ■ he
was wrapt in the contemplation of the future, and
indifferent to the present. In 1831), the present
Karl of W , then Lord B , came to visit the
author, after having been some days with Louis
Napoleon at Buchanan House. One of the first
things he said was, ‘Only think of that young man
Louis Napoleon ; nothing can persuade hint he is
not to be Emperor of France. The Strasburg af
fair has not in the least shaken him. He is think
ing constantly of what he is to do when on the
throne.’ The Duke of N also said to the
author in 1554, ‘Several years ago, before the Re
volution of 1848, I met Louis Napoleon often at
Brodick Castle, in Arran. We freuuently went out
to shoot together; neither cared much for the
sport, and we soon sat down on a heathery brow of
Goatfell, and began to speak seriously. He al
ways opened these conferences by discoursing on
what be would do when he was Emperor of
France.’
“Among other things, be said he would obtain a
grant from the Chambers to drain the marshes of
the Dries, which, you know, once fully cultivated,
Hooded, when the inhabitants, who were chiefly
Protestants, left the country on the revocation of
the Edict of Nantes; aud, what is very curious, I
see in the newspapers of the day that he has got a
grant of two millions of francs from the Chambers
to begin the draining of these very marshes.’ All
that belongs to Louis Napoleon is now public pro
perty, and those noble persons will forgive the au
thor if he endeavors to rescue from oblivion anec
dotes so eminently illustrative of the fixity of pur
pose which is the most remarkable feature in that
very eminent man’s character. This idea of desti
ny, of a star, or mission, which are only different
words for the same thing, will be found to have
been a fixed belief in most men who attain to ulti
mate greatness. Whether it is that the disposi
tion of mind which leads to such a belief works
out its own accomplishment, by the energy and
perseverance which it infuses into the character,
and which enables its possessor to rise superior to
all the storms of fate, or that Providence darkly
reveals to the chosen instruments of great thing’s
—‘the vessels of honor,’ to which the working out
of its purpose in human affairs is intrusted—
enough of the future to secure its accomplishment,
will forever remain a mystery to ibis world.”

To Keep Silk.—Silk articles should not be kept
folded in white paper, as the chloride of lime used
in bleaching the paper will probably impair the
color of silk. Brown or blue paper is better; the
yellowish, smooth India paper is best of all. Silk
intended for dress should not be kept long in
house before they are made up, as lying in the
folds will have a tendency to impair its durability,
by causing it to split, particularly if the silk hits
been thickened bv gum. Thread lace veils are
very easily cut. But dresses of velvet should not
be laid by with any weight above them; if the nap
of a thin velvet is laid down, it is not possible to
raise it up again. Hard silk should never be
wrinkled, because the thread is easily broken in
the creases, and it never can be rectified. The
way to take wrinkles out of silk scarfs and hand
kerchiefs, is to moisten the surface evenly with a
sponge and some weak glue, and then pin the silk
with some toilet pins around the shelves, on a mat
tress or feather bed, taking pains to draw out the
silk as tight as possible. When dry, the wrinkles
will have’disappeared. The reason of this is ob
vious to every person. It is a nice job to dress
light-colored silk, and few should try it. Some
articles should be moistened with weak glue
water, and the wrinkles ironed out by a flat iron .

Hon. James Buchanan.
Washington, May 13. —Hon. James Buchanan
arrived here this evening, and put up at the Na
tional Hotel, where he was serenaded and had a
very warm private reception. It has been arranged
here, by the political leaders, that the entire North
west, with the exception of Michigan, will cast
their votes at Cincinnati, as a unit, for Pierce or
Douglas. Michigan insists on Buchanan.
Steamer Orizaba and the British Frigate.
The officers of the steamship Orizaba have been
officially advised to forcibly resist the British fri
gate Enridice in any future interference, ort the
part of that frigate, with the Orizaba at San Juan.
New York -Market.
New 1 ork, May 13. —The advices by the last
steamer have depressed prices, and the Cotton
market has declined % cent. Sales to-dav 1000
bales. Middling Uplands 10% cents, and the mar
ket closed heavy. Freights to Liverpool rather
firmer.
Additional per Atlantic.
Important meetings of political parties presage
trouble in Parliament. A Blue Book has been pub
lished containing all the Central American docu
ments.
It is said that the discussion in the British Par
liament, in relation to the fall of Kars, will be the
test question as to the strength of the Ministry;
and on the 28th ult. the debate commenced with a
motion for a vote of censure. The treaty has also
been laid before Parliament.
Startling Disclosure.—The following para
graph is taken from the columns of the National
Intelligence!':
During a trial now progressing in the United
States Circuit Court in this city, the extraordinary
fact came out in evidence that, when a Know Noth
ing is admitted to his second degree, he becomes a
party to an oath which binds him to stand by a
brother of the same grade, regardless of conse
quences, even as a witness in any court!
Is not this enough to repulse every honest man?
JI’ Lane’s Vermifuge—Prepared
by Fleming Bros, of Pittsbourgh. During a prac
tice of more than twenty years, Dr. M’Lane had at
tended innumerable patients afflicted with even
form of worm disease, and was induced to apply
all the energies of his mind to the discovery of a
vermifuge, or worm destroyer, certain in its effects;
the results of his labors is the American Worm
Specific, now before the public, prepared by Flem
ing Bros., of Pittsburg, which is perfectly safe, and
may be given alike to children of the most tender
age, or to the aged adult; it purges mildly and
subdues fever, and destroys worms with invaria
ble success. It is easy of administration, and as it
does not contain mercury in any form whatever, no
restrictions are necessary with regard to drinking
cold water, nor is it capable of doing Ihe least in
jury to the tenderest infant. An incredible num
ber of worms have been expelled by this great
vermifuge.

Z-iT' Dailey’s Magical Pain Extractor.
There never has been a discovery made in Materia
Medica, whereby pain can be so quickly allayed,
and where parts in a high state of inflammation
can be so rapidly reduced to their natural state,
ncr where wounds and sores can be so thoroughly
and rapidly healed, and decayed parts restored
without either scar or defect, than with DALLEY'S
MAGICAL PAIN EXTRACTOR.
In Cuts, Wounds, Sprains and Bruises—-casual
ties to which children are constantly subject the
action of the genuine DAI,LEY’S PAIN EXTRAC
TOR is ever the same! How much pain and suf
fering may not thus be prevented ! Moreover, life
itself is often dependent upon having at hand tin
genuine DALLEY’S EXTRACTOR, and for par
ticulars of which I respectfully refer to mv printed
pamphlets, for the truth of which 1 hold myself re
sponsible.
No case of Burns and Scald, no matter how se
vere, has ever yet, in any one instance, resisted the
all-powerful, pain-subduing and healing qualities
of the DALLEY’S PAIN EXTRACTOR.
No Pain Extractor is genuine unless the box has

A Perfumed Breath.—What Lady
or Gentleman would remain under the curse of a
disagreeable breath when, by using the “BALM
OF A THOUSAND FLOWERS” us a dentriflce,
would not only render it sweet, but leave the teeth
white as alabaster? Many persons do not know
their breath is bad, and the subject is so delicate
their friends will never mention it. Pour a single
drop of the “Balm’’ on your tooth-brush, and
wash the teeth night and morning. A fifty ceut.
bottle will last a year.
A Bealtifti. Complexion may easily be acquired
by using the “ Babn of a Thousand Flowers." It
will remove tan, pimples and freckles front the skin,
leaving it of a soft and roseate hue. Wet a towel,
pour on two or three drops, and wash the face night
and morning.
Shaving Made Easy. —-Wet your shaving-brush
in either warm or cold water, pour on two or three
drops ot the *' Hahn of a Thousand Flowers," rub
the beard well, and it will make a beautiful soft
lather, much facilitating the operation of shaving.

Impelled by an honest desire to im
part useful information, and actuated with a be
nevolent wish to benefit the public health, we
would call the attention of our readers to the great
remedy known as “ Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.”
It is the only remedy now before the world, which
with aetive curative properties combines entire
harmlessness. That this is so, we feel confident,
from the fact that Duct. James R. Chilton, the cel
ebrated chemist of New York, testifies to its per
fect freedom from any injurious ingredients, such
as Quinine, Mercury, Arsenic, Ac., which form the
active principle of most medicines offered as a
remedy for Fever and Ague and kindred disorders.
The article under consideration is based upon the
principle that for every disease, nature furnishes
the appropriate neutralizing agent. It. is well
known that miasmatic exhalations cause Fever and
Ague, and the medicine before us is calculated ex
pressly to counteract those poisonous vapoi..
In short, it is precisely what it claims (o be, a
atural Antidote to Malaria!

We cannot refrain from calling the
attention of our-readers to an advertisement in this
day’s paper, of the “HAIR RESTORATIVE” of
Prof. O. J. Wood A Co., of St. Louis. H will be
seen that he lias numerous certificates from per
sons of the highest character, to the merits of his
Restorative. From positive knowledge, we are also
enabled to say that it is in every sense what it pro
fesses to be, and we do not hesitate to pronounce
it the finest preparation for the head and hair which
lias so far been devised by human ingenuity. We
have seen it arrest threatened baldness, and restore
to the head its original profusion of natural and
glossy hair, and when the latter lias been prema
turely tinged with gray, we have seen it, like ma
gic, restore the colors of youth and health. The
distinguishing property of this, we might truly'
say, miraculous “ Restorative,” is that it gives to
the person who uses it, the same head of hair that
they wore in youth, thus acting in strict compli
ance with the rules of the first and greatest of all
toilet makers—Nature. No one who has used it
will hesitate to unite with us in this testimony to
its peculiar merit. — Covington, Ind. People's Friend
