Personal.
We were pleased yesterday to meet
Mr. T. K. Oglesby, formerly of the
Constitutionalist, but lately Secretary
of Hon. A. H. Stephens, who has just
arrived from Washington. The sight
of him was exhilarating indeed, and
made one think of the cold climate
which he has just left.
Jack and Jill.
To those who love fun and glory in
laughter, it will be a pleasant an
nouncement that “ Jack and Jill ” is to
be rendered at Girardey’s Opera House
to-night. The combination is said to
be a splendid one, and offers such a
varied and fun-provoking entertain
ment that every one who attends can
not but be pleased.
-
Meeting at Bethesda.
The meeting held at Bethesda last
evening under the auspices of the
Young Men’s Christian Association was
well attended, and the interest mani
fested was intense. There will boa
meeting to-night, at eight o’clock, at
Kollock street church instead of Be
thesda Chapel. All are specially in
vited to attend and participate in the 1
work.
Attempt at Suicide.
A woman named Ida Wilson, living
on Washington street, near Calhoun,
attempted to commit suicide about half
past seven o’clock last night, at her
house, by taking laudanum. A physi
cian was sent for and arrived in time,
it is thought, to prevent serious conse
quences. No cause appears to have
been assigned for the attempt on her
life, unless it was that she was tired of
the life she was leading.
Girardey’s Opera House.
There was not a large chouse, last
evening. Mr. McWade appeared as
“Rory O'Moore,” in the Irish drama of
that name, and “ Dick Mit Dhree
Eyes,” in a burlesque of “Richard III.”
The poverty of the house evidently
had a chilling effect upon the actors,
but they managed to create much mer
riment, and the audience enjoyed the
sallies of wit and humor hugely.
We commend Mr. McWade and his
company to our breathren of other
cities.
A New Terminus of the Street Rail
road.
The Street Railroad Company is hav
ing a turn-table placed near the corner
of Lincoln and Watkins streets, be
tween the Cemetery and the Parade
Ground, to which point the street cars
are to run, instead of going to the Fair
Grounds on every trip, although the
tract will still remain on that end, to
be used whenever there is any attrac
tion there. It has been found to be
useless to run to the end of the line
every day, except when there are
amusements at the Fair Grounds.
Meeting of Good Templars.
A consolidated meeting of the Good
Templars’ Lodges of this city was held
at the hall of the Young Men’s Chris
tian Association last night. The hall
was crowded to its utmost capacity by
members of the Temperance Order,
with friends of the cause and others
interested—a majority present being
ladies and young men.
An address replete with deep thought
and convincing argument, in favor cf
temperance, was delivered by S. War
ren Mays, Esq., which was received
with marked attention and interest by
his hearers.
After singing by the audience, Rev.
Robert Irvine, D. D., delivered very in
teresting and .lengthy remarks on the
temperance question. His vein of
humor cropped out in a marked de
gree, and his hearers at one moment
“ smiling audily ” were the next affected
by his pathos, and his text, taken from
the Proverbs of Solomon : “ WiQe is a
Mocker,” was most thoroughly ex
plained and sustained.
Mr. Geddings Lamb, Worthy Chief
of Richmond Lodge, presided at the
meeting. After the addresses the au
dience dispersed well pleased and with
many wishes for an early repetition of
them.
Interest Tables.
“ Dean’s Interest and Equation Ex
ponents ” is a most valuable work for
mercantile men, bankers and others.
The interest on any sum, at any rate
per cent., can be seen almost at a
glance, which is a great saving of time
when it is most valuable. A partial
list of firms using this work in the
principal cities of the United States is
published in the book, that it
is becoming very popular. The adver
tisement of the agent, Mr. W. M.
Joseph, (at Miller & Bisell’s store) ap
peared in our issue of Sunday. *
Railroad Items.
One of the cars of the South Carolina
Railroad passenger train, in backing
up to the Union Depot yesterday af
ternoon, ran off the track in rear of the
Presbyterian Church, at the same place
where a Central Railroad car ran off
the day before. It was soon placed on
the track again without any damage.
Workmen were afterward engaged in
repairing the track.
The night passenger train of the
South Carolina Railroad, due here at
7:50 a. m. yesterday, did not arrive
until about 11 a. m., in consequence of
the engine giving out—failing to make
steam.
The night train of the Port Royal
Railroad, due here at 7:25 a. m„ was
also delayed, and did not arrive at the
depot until about.lo a. m.
The trains on all other roads arrived
on time.
. The River.
The excitement regarding high water
and fears of a freshet seem to have
been entirely dissipated in conse
quence of the river falling rapidly yes
terday. At an early hour yesterday
morning, it was found that the water
was falling, and it continued to recede
throughout the day, about sundown
appearing to have fallen four feet, and
was then about 27 feet. The mark,
which was washed away, has not yet
been replaced, hence the exact height
of the water cannot be determined.
On the upper part of Reynolds street
several gullies have been washed near
the river, and are left as a vestige of
the high water. The river in this rise
reached a higher point (31 feet) than at
any time during the winter, or proba
bly for two or three years.
A Wild Goose Chase.
Last Sunday week a negro stole a
gold watch and other articles from the
house of Mr. Churchill, near Mcßean
in the lower part of Richmond county.
He was arrested, but on the way to jail
managed to escape frojn his captors
and disappeared. A number of negroes
in that locality, however, believed that
some harm had befallen him, and a
party of about 40 scoured the neigh
borhood, in the search for some trace
of the darkey, and, as we learn, they
even went so far as to open the new
made grave of a lady, who had recently
died, under the impression that it was
his grave.
After a long search the negro was
found and again arrested, and the
would be avengers, who made various
threats of vengeance for his supposed
death, were a very crestfallen party 5
and were the means of causing their
brother to be again placed in durance
vile. We did not learn whether the
stolen property was recovered or n6t.

New Books.
The hard times seem to have no ap
preciable effect upon the great publish
ing house of Harper and Brothers. —
New and splendid editions of standard
authors, and the best of modern works
of fiction are constantly produced by
this firm and put upon the market.
The latest issue of the Library of
Select Novels is a tale of English life,
by Eliza Tabor, called “ Hope Mere
dith. Miss Tabor is the author of “ St.
Olave’s” and “ Meta’s Faith,” two of
the most beautiful stories in our lan
guage. The prevailing characteristics
of Miss Tabor, as a writer, are origi
nality, pathos, naturalness and a skil
ful weaving of the plot, around which
the interest never grows cold or com
mon-place.
One of the most superb publications
of the season is a volume by J. Thomp
son, F. R. G. S., entitled “ The Straits
of Malacca, Indo-Ohina and China.”
The typography and binding of this
volume are really gorgeous. The
habits and policy of a wonderful and
mysterious people are laid bare with
exceeding force and erudition. If one
did not know that Mr. Thompson’s
record was purely matter of fact, it
might easily be mistaken for a contin
uation of the “ Arabian Nights Enter
tainment.” Illustrations in the high
est style of art adorn the wprk and
add to its superior attractions.
The latest issue of the new edition
of Wilkie Collins’ works is his recent
romance called “ The Law and the
Lady.” We defy any lover of first
class fiction to read one chapter of this
work and put it aside. The chances
are, ninety-nine in a hundred, that the
book will not be relinquished until the
last page is perused and the secret re
vealed. There is magic in Collins, and,
once his spell is woven, we cannot
break from it till the enchanter him
self, like Prospero, shatters his wand
and bids us leave the realm of imagi
nation and return to the work-day
world.
We tender thanks to Messrs. IJfuinn
& Pendleton for copies of the above
named works.
The Portable Family Furnace *
We called attention to in yesterday’s
paper, on practical exhibition at No. Jsl
Jackson street (Stove and Furnace
Store of Capt. Frank Smyth), continues
to attract numerous visitors, and all
are well pleased with its adaptation to
the wants of every family. Being sold
at so low a price-only s3.so—it comes
within the reach of every one who has
a desire for economy. It can be run
all day, doing the cooking of three
meals, and ironing if necessary, fo:
three cents worth of fuel. It weighs
only sixteen pounds, and sets on the
top of any ordinary stove, or can be
used out doors, separate from any
stove. ’Tie really a novel invention,
and worth examining by all. The la
dies especially should call and see it.
The proprietors, Messrs. H. Smith &
Cos., will take great pleasure in show
ing it any time during business hours.

A writer in the Savannah Advertiser,
who is temperance to the back bone,
has become disgusted with the medici
nal liquors sold by apothecaries, and
wants a rigid inspection by competent
judges to prevent the public from be

ecaries are not judges of liquors.
The members of Vigilant, No. 3, had
their fine steamer out for practice in
front of the Augusta Hotel yesterday
afternoon. In the absence of Engineer
Hale} 7 , Assistant Engineer, J. P. Mc-
Laughlin had charge of the engine. A
stream of 255 feet was thrown, and,
judging from her working, the steamer
appeared to be in first-class order.

Sunday afternoon, and was attended
by quite a large number of persons.
Gov. Smith has approved the reso
lutions passed by the Legislature con
cerning the Treasury. He says :
It is no part of the duty of the Gov
ernor under the constitution to pro
nounce or pass upon a judgment of
censure against an official of the gov
ernment. But the resolutions con
tained provisions and directions to the
in my opinion, the
interest ofthe commonwealth renders
needful; they are therefore with this
explanaticn approved.
James M. Smith.
Commenting upon Treasurer Jones’
statement, the Macon Telegraph speaks
as follows:
Fidelity to his official duty demand
ed from the Treasurer such a clear re
cord of his transactions as would have
completely vindicated his administra
tion to any honest inquirer on a very
brief examination. Nothing short of
this was due the State and himself, and
any theory fairly approaching it would
have drawn from that committee a
verdict of applause instead of the re
ports of which the Treasurer com
plains and impeaches in four columns
of pleading. If his accounts had been
clear and his records orderly, there
would have been no complaint on either
hand—no room for scandal or'* morti
fication. But in the very defense set
up the Treasurer admits irregularities
which would have confused the ac
counts current of a cross-road grocery.
The Atlanta Herald has a very in
teresting account of Col. Lee Jordan’s
plantations. Col. Jordan owns and
cultivates 20,000 acres, the original cost
of which was $450,000. He lias 800 la
borers, but is gradually adopting the
tenant system. He raises twice as
much corn as he needs. Six over
seers superintend the plantations, and
raise from 1,400 to 2,000 bales of cot
ton. No fertilizers are used, *as Col
Jordon believes them to be productive
of caterpillar. Formerly he spent
$12,000 per annum in guanos and
phosphates, but now makes his own
manure. The Herald correspondent
says :
Dr. H. H. Coleman does the practice
of the plantations, on the following
plan. He assesses each head of a family
$3 a year, whether he is sick or not;
and thus by taxing each man lightly,
it is made burdensome on none. He Is
a good physician, and says that it is
the healthiest; country ho ever saw.
Only two adults died last year, out of
over a thousand souls.
The preaching is done on the same
plan. There is a negro preacher with
a $3,000 salary, who rides about the
country in his two-horse buggy, as fat
as a bishop, and as happy as a prince.
He charges $3 a head for dealing out
salvation the year around, and with a
membership of 1,500 never gets less
than $3,000 per annum out of the place.
He is a Republican, but sticks to the
gospel with a fervor that only such a
salary could inspire.

DEAD-HEADING IT ACROSS THE
CONTINENT.
A Ride of Three Thousand Miles in a
Hearse.
The Oakland, California, Tribune tells
the following : A few days ago a hearse
arrived from Rochester, New York,
consigned to Easterday & Morgan of
this city. The hearse was transported
from the shop in Rochester without
change of cars from the flat on whicli
it was originally placed. Before ship
ment the manufacturers placed a large
box over it to protect it from the
weather. The box rested on the axles
inside the wheels, being long enough to
extend from the rear over the dash
board in front. Owing to the construc
tion of the driver’s seat on the
hearse, the corners of the box
extended far enough to allow room
for the body of a man to pass between
the box at that point and the hearse.
The front and rear of the vehicle is so
constructed as to swing open, and
thereby hangs the tale. This was no
ticed by some who silently contem
plated how easy it would be to save a
fev scads and see the country where
strawberries grow as large as hen eggs
all the year round, and then pounced
off to lay in a stock of provisions.
These he procured and poked them
through the cavity between the hearse
and the box, after which he followed.
Hence within the wooded sepulchre, it
is thought he wafted a song of praise,
for there reposed a large box partially
filled with silver-plated casket trim
mings, etc., which had been packed
in straw and shavings, as also
the seat cushions. After arranging his
corned beef, bread, sardines, hermet
ically sealed cabbage, and a quantity
of tobacco, he arranged the ornameits
in the box so as to leave a nice place in
the centre for him to repose in. And
then, after taking a- drink and a chew
of tobacco, he reclined amid the straw
and fine shavings, and quietly snicker
ed. The appearance of this suffering
soul as he laid back and ejected the
nicotine from between his ruby lips
against the plate-glass sides of that
hearse must have been eminently satis
factory. As was seen by the remnants
left in his lodgings, his appetite re
mained substantial throughout the
journey; but his amiable weakness
seems to have been in lining the glass
walls of his sanctum with tobacco juice.
A highly colored, short stemmed clay
pipe, found in the corner, gave proof
that it was not allowed to rust with
inactivity, and told how vacation be
tween meals was sometimes passed.
How is this for Pedigree.
Avery searching investigation was
carried on a few years ago, in the north
of England, by two families who were
searching up their respective ancestry.
The strife was great between them,
each one determined to look back into
antiquities farther than the other.
One of the families, whoso name was
Spencer, employed an artist to paint a
historic sceue representing the build
ing of the ark, and the loading up of
tiie ship by Noali and his sons with its
multifarious and various cargo.
On the gang-plank leading to the
deck of the ark two men were seen
rolling up a large box, on one side of
which was painted in large letters,
“ Relics, insignia and papers belonging
to the Spencer family.”
This was considered a coup d’etat
hard to beat, but the other family, de
termined not to be out done iu the an
tediluvian pretenses of their name, pre
pared at great cost and researcli a rec
ord of their antiquity.
In describing the exploits of one of
their ancestors, at a very early day,
who was represented as a mau of some
authority, this remarkable passage oc
curs :
“During this year Adam and Eve
were driven oit of Paradise.”
The Matrimonial News, a journal de
voted to the promotion'of marriage

Yung Wing:— Mr. Yung Wing, of
Canton, China, Chief of the Chinese
Educational Commission now at Hart
ford, was married on Wednesday to
Miss Mary L. Kellogg, at the residence
of her father, B. S. Kellogg, in Avon.
The bride wore a dress of white crape,
imported expressly for this occasion
from China, and elaborately trimmed
with floss silk embroidery. After the
ceremony, a collation was served, in
which Chinese delicacies were mingled
with more substantial dishes of Ameri
can style. Messrs. Yoh Shu Tung,
manager, and Yung Yun Foo, teacher
of the commission at Hartford, were
present in national costume, but the
groom, who long since adopted our
style, appeared in full evening dress.
Holman Hunt defends himself for
making the Saviour saw wood with liis
left hand in his picture, “The Shadow
of Death,” on the ground that “ho ex
pected the spectator to fancy that the
Saviour had stepped over the plank to
approach his mother, or to see how far
the sun had yet to sink, and recogniz
ing that it was already late enough to
prepare for the eveniilg’a relaxation
and studies, he had assumed the posi
tion which gave the most relief physi
cally and mentally before turning to
put away his tools.”

PREPARED THIS FALL, (NOT OLD STOCK,)

PRACTICAL ATS D AGRICULTURAL CHEMIST.
SOLD BY
EDWARD BARRY & CO.,
288 Broad Street, Augusta. Gra.
THE EVIDENCE presented in the statements of tho respectable .and intelligent plant
ers of the surrounding counties will satisfy Southern men that this CONCENTRA
TED CHEMICAL FERIT.CIZER may claim to be equal, if not superior to any in the
market; that being composed of a base of raw-bone, decomposed with Sulphuric Add,
and a combination of Chemicals, it is devoid of the enormous amount of inert matter
which all Phosphate Rock preparations must contain; and that it presents the best
guarantee of a large profitable return, as testified to by all who have used it. We refer
to our Pamphlets for this evidence, as it is too volum. aous for our advertisement. The
preparation is varied in composition to meet tho condition of the two great classes of
our soils:
Our C. FERTILIZER adapted to Clay Soils.
Our Gr. FERTILIZER adapted to Sandy Soils.
