Among the arti cles stolen were two registered Government bonds of $10,000 each, $2,600 in cash, $500 of which was in gold certificates; $4 000 worth of stock in the national bank of Piedmont, a pocket-book con taining between twenty and thirty thousand dol lars of promissory no.es. The latter, however, was found in a yard a short distance from the store. Mr. Schorn, the yonng man who cut off his moustache with a penknife and shot himself with a rifle, died at the Imperial last week at the very time we had supposed he was recovering. Had he cut off his moustache with a rifle and shot him self with the penknife, he might have recovered. As Macauley says, “Reversions are sometimes the salvation of a nation.” On the 25th inst., Capt. George Locke’s saw-mill on lake Preaux, in Calcasieu Parish, La., was discovered to be on fire, and although every effort was made by the bands, some twenty to twenty- five, to stop the five, the entire mill and planing machine house were consumed also, nearly one million feet of good lumber, stacked for the pur pose of drying, preparatory to being dressed, and several thousand feet of bill lumber, placed on the wharf for shipping. Captain James Eads was in Jacksonville last week making an examination of the river with a view to ascertaining if the channel at the mouth can be improved. He submitted a report yester day to the Mayor stating that with the jetty Bys tem from twenty to twenty-four feet of water can be obtained at a cost of $1,750,000. At Eastville, Northampton county, Va., yester day morning Sidney Pitts and A. P. Thomas fought with pistols to settle a dispute. Two rounds were fired by each, and they stood only 6 feet apart. Pitts was killed and Thomas re ceived a ball in the head from which he will prob ably uie. The women’s hotel, built by the late A. T. Stewart, was opened yesterday evening to special ly invited guests. Mrs. Stewart and Judge Hil ton were present to receive the guests. About three thousand persons visited the building dur ing the evening. At Montreal, the jury in the case of Joseph Charlt, tried for the murder of his aged father, by cruel and brutal treatment, brought in a verdict ot assault with intent to kill. He was sentenced to five years in the penitentiary. Four men met a horrible death on the Iron Mountain railroad, Missouri. They had concealed themselves in a close car containing cotton, hav ing provisions and tobacco with them. When near Piedmont, smoke was discovered issuing from the car, and on opening it the cotton was found to be on fire and the four men suffocated. It is thought that they accidentally set fire to the cotton by a lighted pipe or cigar. No one on the train or at Piedmont recognized either of them. In Newark, N. J., on the 1st inst., James Ab bott was stabbed and seriously injured by his step son, William M. Abbott, while sitting with his wife and William, a boy of sixteen years, at sup per last night. A dispute arose between him and Mrs. Abbott. It is sta.ed that Abbott offered the lady violence and that William sprang to defend his mother. Abbott directed him to keep quiet and take his seat or he would knock him down. The threat enraged the boy, and seizing a knife from the table he caught his step-father by the throat with one hand and with the other plunged the blade into Abbott’s neck. In New York, on the 1st inst., a man named Cady was passing through the hallway of a house on Roosevelt street, on his way to the street, he was attacked by five young men, who surrounded him and threw him on the floor. Cady, with great presence of mind, took his money out of his pocket and held it in his hand. One of the ruffi ans held his hand over Cady’s mouth so that he could not cry for help, and the others searched his pockets and became very indignant when they found nothing worth taking. Someone suggest ed that perhaps Cady had some rings on his fing ers, and then it was discovered where he had hid his money. But they found it impossible to make him open his hand. “ Let’s cut his throat,” cried one man. “No,” interrupted another, “let us bite his hand till he opens it.” This suggestion met the approval of the robbers, and they gnawed Cady’s hand in turn until he was conquered by pain and let the S10 for which he had fought so pluckily fall on the floor. The money was quick ly seized. One of the assailants has been arrest ed. The Society of Modern Spiritualists held their thirtieth anniversity on the 3d inst., in Republi can Hall, Thirty-third street, New York. The meeting was very largely attended.

Purity, Health, Progress and Happiness.” To the left the redemption of legal tenders. It is also pro posed that the rate of interest shall be gradually reduced, and provision is also made for suspend ing the operations of the sinking fund. EUROPEAN NEWS. The public feeling at the Capital, regarding the Eastern question, is still unsettled and savors of war. England is alarmed at Russia’s successes in Turkey, and is opposed to the treaty of peace pre sented for ratification. Russia continues to pur chase war material in Germany. It is argued that if the English Cabinet really desire peace, a pacific solution may be found. The public, how* ever, regard England’s proposition as a new proof that the Cabinet has decided upon war. Lord Odo Russell, the British Ambassador at Berlin, telegraphed to his government, that Prince Bismarck has requested him to state that Germany would not participate in a conference of the pow- era without England, and that he can not under stand how a congresss for the revision of European rights could be held, when England, one of the chief contractors, was absent. The Roumanian minister of foreign affairs writes to the agent of the government at Vienna that Prince Gorschakoff had declared to Prince Gheka, the Roumanian agent at St. Petersburg, that, not withstanding our clamoring, Russia’s decision in regard to Bessarabia, was irrevocable. Russia would not bring the question before Congress nor consent to another power doing so, as it would an offense to the Emperor. If she could not make us give in she would take Bessarbia by force, and armed resistance would be fatal for Roumania. The dispatch concludes : “ Notwithstanding these threats, we persist in our refusal to yield.” The Roumanian agent at Vienna, communicated to Sir H. G. Elliott, April 3d, a dispatch from the agent at St. Petersburg, recounting a conver sation with Prince Gorschakoff, who said : “ Is it true that your government intends to protest against the article of treaty which provides for the communication of the army in Bulgaria with Rus sia through Roumania? The Emperor has ordered me to inform you that if you have such an inten tion he will order the occupation of Roumania and the disarmament of the Roumanian army.” The agent replied that Russia should have treated with Roumania, not Turkey, concerning the passage of the army, to which the Prince re joined: “ We did not choose to have anything more to do with you, on account of your conduct. It is important that you should know that we in sist upon a free passage through your country, and that you should inform your government of the Emperor’s declaration Your government must plainly state the decision.” A Hasty Trip to Our Ga., Seacoast. After a pleasant trip over the W. & A. E. E. with clever Dick Hargis, a sixteen hour run took iue to Station No. 1 on the Macon and Brunswick E. E., there I was met by Mr. Phil lips, a genial landlord and mail contractor on the line from there to Darien. He seemed to be doing a very thriving business. Our route lay by Champney island, at present owned by Capt., A. S. Barnwell and cultivated by him as a rice plantation. It contains nearly one thousand acres, of which one hundred and sixty remain in native swamp and forest, requir ing nearly two hundred dollars per acre to levee, ditch, clean otf the timber, and put in cultiva tion. You can see at once the value of rice lands. Capt., Barnwell has seventy penitentiary con victs leaned from *he State, who ore very humane ly treated by him. I spent three days on the island, and saw that they are fed with plenty of wholesome food, performing their work with alacrity. The vigilance of the foreman—Mr. Jones—and his guards, has prevented the es cape of a single convict during their fifteen month’s occupancy of the island. There is not a case of sickness in the camp. The island produces the finest of sweet or anges—I had the pleasure of plucking some from the trees myself. Capt. Barnwell has ubout five hundred trees, some of which are just beginning to bear. His faith in being able to raise them is such that he has seven thousand scions for transplanting this fall. Mr. Lee, of the English nobility, owns an adjoining island which contains a tine orange orchard, but strauge to say most of the trees are of the sour variety, and are consequently worth less. This, however, is being speedily remedied by planting the sweet, and cutting out the sour, and by grafting the limbs of the sweet upon the stock of the sour. My final place was Cumberland Island, twenty five miles south of Brunswick, a favorite resort of many Atlanta people. Its waters abound in fish, fowl and oysters—the land with deer and bears; and if you want these delicacies nicely prepared, you cannot do better than to get either Mrs. Eoberts or Mrs. Buckley to super intend it, Mr. Eobert has a pretty place at the landing with a fine view 7 of the sound, and near fine oyster beds, etc. Mr. Buckley is nearer the Atlantic beach where visitors can fish, hunt and bathe to their hearts content.

Professor Justin Juch presided at the piano. In Indiana, the other night, two young men went to a prayer-meeiing for the purpose of cre ating a disturbance. One was struck by light ning and killed, and the other was so scared that he immediately experienced the change desired by the exhorter. Swindling ms Bride, Elect.—In Pennington, N.

They were to have been married the next week, but Miss Y'ard’s biother became suspicious and went to New Bruns wick, where Van Pelt resided, and discovered that he had a wife and child living there. He was at Miss Y'ard’s house when the brother returned, and on being accused of his deceit at first denied it, but subsequently made confession and begged to Pleasure seekers should by all means take Cumberland Island in their route. S. Pius IX. anil the Jews. The Jews’ quarters in Rome was one of the j most wretched and dilapidated. Soon after the accession of Pius IX. he gave orders to have them made more habitable. As a thank-offering, the Jews presented him with a chalice that fer two centuries had been preserved in the Ghetto. In receiving the deputation the Pope said : “ I accept your present, my children, with pleasure, and thank you ; and on your part accept this little sum and distribute it in the name of Pius IX., among the poor of the Ghetto,” and he placed in their hands a hit of paper, on which was written, “Good for one thousand crowns,” with his signature. Some days after, the Holy Father passed by this quarter, and saw a man nearly lifeless stretched on the pavement- He left his carriage and ap proached him. “It is a Jew,” cried the people, and no one offered assistance. “ What do you say,” said the Pope to his attendants; “ is not he who suffers one like ourselves ? We must help him.” He himself raised him ; assisted by the prelates who accompanied him, he conveyed the poor man to his own carriage, drove him to his THE ROMANCE^OF HISTORY. K HO. 4. BV W. W. WOODSON. The King Maker. Had Henry YI. possessed the warlike spirit of hia father, it is extremely doubtful whether any prince of the house of York would ever have mounted the English throne. Henry IV., the first of the Lancastrian sovereigns, by the dethrone ment and murder of Richard II., had usurped the crown that belonged rightfully to the heir of York. During hia own reign and that of his valiant son, the ousted princes had made no effort to assert their claims ; but towards the close of the reign of Henry VI., many circumstances conspired to induce them to press their valid right to the throne. The reigning prince possessed not a single qual ity which could inspire respect or secure esteem in that turbulent age. He could lay no claim to that dauntless courage and military ardor which had shed such lustre over the short but glorious career of his father. As he was pusillanimous in war, so he was weak and vaoillating in council. He was wholly under the control of his Amazonian spouse, Margaret of Anjou, whose imperious dis position had iA-iven from their support many of the staunchest partisans of the Red Rose. The discontent of the Yorkist nobles at length broke out into open rebellion, and the head of that house took the field with a powerful army. He gained a great victory over the royalists at St. Albans, and a parliament being summoned and convened, declared the title of the Duke of York to be certain and indefeasible. An accommodation was entered into, however, by which it was stipu lated that Henry should retain the crown during his life, when o it Bhould pass to the heir of the rival faction. This arrangement was readily agreed to by Henry, but his indignant queen loud ly protested against the injury done to her young son, and collecting a numerous army boldly took the field in defence of his rights. In a great battle fought at Wakefield, she de feated the enemy with terrible slaughter; the aged duke of Y'ork being himself among the slain. His title to the crown passed to Edward, his eld est son, a young man of great valor and enterprise. It is doubtful whether Edward would have been able to rally ’ from the bloody defeat which had been infliett d bn his party had it not been that Richard Nevil, the powerful and popular earl of Warwick threw himself into the struggle. With romatic courrage and indomitable energy, this valiant earl upheld the sinking cause of Y’ork, and bore aloft through many reverses, the white rose of his ■jketion. When young Edward, crush ed by defeat, would have resigned himself to des pair, Warwick cheered his drooping spirits and urged him on to further exertions, till (he goal was won and he had placed on his head the dia dem of England. Seated upon the throne and supported by so powerful an adherent as the earl of Warwick, Edward had nothing to fear from the deposed and imprisoned Henry, or his exiled queen. Warwick was now dispatched to the court of Franee to solicit for his royal master the hand of a princess of that realm. The earl succeeded so well in his delicate mission, that he gained the consent of the princess, and some preliminaries, looking to an early consummation of the marriage were entered into. While thus engaged in the interest of the sovereign he had seated on the trone, the startling inteiligence reached him that Edward had contracted an alliance in another quarter. It was long before the proud and sensi tive e - 'T'dit a renort so hurtful to his own ’none* and the fair fame of ms king. It was nevertheless true. While Warwick was negotiating the terms and conditions of his marriage at the court of France, the young and impetuous king chanced to meet the lovely widow of lord Grey—Elizabeth Wood- ville. This lady, as virtuous as she was beautiful, spurned the dishonorable proposals he made to her and the infatuated monarch, with the inconside rate passion of a boy, ottered to share his throne with her. The offer was accepted and the mar riage was accordingly celebrated. Warwick, burning with indignation at the af- j front that had been put upon his honor, hastened j back to London and warmly upbraided the king j for his treachery. Edward angrily retorted, and | the injured earl determiued to drag him from the j throne and reinstate the imprisoned Henry. He formed a conspiracy with some of the chief nobili ties of E’j. .land, and going over to the continent, formed <■ . .alliance with Margaret and her son prince L ward. This alliance was cemented by a marriage between the prince and his own daugh ter, and Warwick entered entered as warmly into the cause of Lancaster as he had ever done into that of York. Having arranged with queen Mar garet a pi -u ot invasion, he returned to England, and from his own retainers and the partisans of the deposed king, collected so numerous an army, that Edward did not dare to hazard an engage ment. He therefore retired from the kingdom, ami took refuge with his brother-in-law, the duke of Burgundy. Warwick now released Henry VI. from his gloomy cell and reinstated him upon the throne, thus earning the title of king-maker. But Ed ward having obtained some aid from ttie duke of Burgundy soon lauded again in England. The renowned earl, trercherously deserted by his j trusted allies, while fighting valiantly, fell glori ously on the bloody field of Barnet.

Alexander Stephens introduced a bill on the 3d instant entitled “ A Bill for the Financial Relief of the Country, and the resumption of spe cie payments without injuriously affecting the business interests of the country.” The bill pro pose 1 - that gold and silver shall be increased in the Treasury until it reaches to §1,000,000; then redemption of legal tender notes is provided for until the coin in the Treasury is reduced to $50,- 000,000; then there is to be a funding in foi.r per cent, bonds till the coin fund again reaches i $100,000,000; then coin is to be used again for First Scriptural Drama. According to Mr. Hone (in his work on Ancient Mysteries), a Jewish play, of which fragments are still preserved, in Greek iambics, is the first drama known to have existed on a Scripture sub ject. It is taden from Exodus, and represents the departure of the Israelites from Egypt under their leader and prophet. The principal charac ters are Moses, Sapphora, and God in the burning brush- Moses delivers the prologue in a speech of sixty lines, and his rod is turned into a serpent on the stage. The author of this play is Ezekiel, a Jew ; and Warton supposes that he wrote it after the destruction of Jerusalem, to animate his dis persed brethren with the hope of a future deliver ance, and that it was composed in imitation of the Greek drama at the close of the second century. t Kinkiang, China, Feb. 13th, 1878. To Tir'Z ^otroa Sunny South, Atlanta, Ga., U. S. A. Dear -Sir and Brother:—You have perhaps heard of the mighty famine which is now raging in ihe North of China. Hundreds of thousands of Chinese, meu, women and children are starving of hunger and perishing of cold. They have no food, no money, no shelter. . To such a strait are the poor wretches reduced, that some of them feed on the dead. Parents have been known to kill anil eat their children, and the strong to overcome the weak and devour them to satisfy their craving for food. I appeal to you to bring these facts to the notice of the Brethren and others kiadly disposed, to ask them to contribute their mile towards the fund which is being raised for these famine strick en Chinese. Any sums you may collect, remit me through a Shanghai bauk or business house. Receipt will be acknowledged in the “ Shanghai Evening Cornier.” 1 remain fraternally yours in F. H. C. William R. Hauler, Dist. Deputy for China. James W. Norris, the leading juvenile man at theChesnut street Theater (Philadelphia) during the .4# iqns of 1875 and 1870, died of consumption at Lexington, Ky., on the afternoon of March 20. The deceased was born in Lexington, Ky.. in 1850, and was very favorablyjknown- He leaves a wid ow, a pleasing actress, Josie Batcheldor. He had lately been traveling with combinations, Bartley Campbell’s being his last professional engagement. Miss Ransom, of Washington, has sold her fine portrait of Gen. Thomas. Answers to Correspondents; Leon says : I am engaged to the dearest little woman on earth, and we have talked over the matter of fixing a date for our marriage. I, of course, insisting on an early day; yet she per sists in placing the date some months hence—al most a year in the future. Now, we are both ef mature age, and not likely to prove fickle in our love affairs. I am in easy circumstances, and able and anxious to take care of the wife of my choice. With all these points in my favor, do you think a long engagement necessary or advisa ble ? I love her very dearly, and have reason to believe that my love is returned. Then why should any law or rule of society prevent our immediate union, or prevent her from fixing an earlier date for our marriage ? True, I do not be lieve in hasty merriages ; yet, on the other hand, do you think long engagements necessary when the parties are satisfied they can live congenially together—what think you? 2nd. Can you tell me anyth?ng of the early history of Vinnie Ream ? A party oontends with me that she is a negress, while I say she is a Caucasian. Now which is right 1.... Our sympathies are certainly enlisted in your behalf; and we think your argu ment should prevail with your fair betrothed, provided she is not actuated by some unselfish motive, pertaining to others, which you wot not of. Should she remain impervious to your plead ings, improve the time by studying her disposi tion, and endeavor to find out her true motive for delay. We doubt not tis a lauhable one. Long engagements, although not advisable, are not always pernicious to happiness. They are the test of constancy and affection. If she is all your fancy pictures, cultivate patience, and the future will bring its reward. Miss Vinnie Ream, the sculptress, is a Caucas ian, at least we have never heard otherwise. We suppose the report that she was of African blood arose from the circumstance of her hav ing been such a pet with the extreme Radicals of the White House soon atter the war; at the very when they had adopted the negroes also as their special darlings.

These are our rules : Select a party from the correspondence column who suits your fancy; write a letter to the same, enclose it in a blank envelope, stamped, place that in still another en velope directed to the editor of this paper, and we will send it to the party designated, and then we hope the fates may favor you in securing an intel ligent, agreeable correspondent. A. B. says. Dear Sunny South, I have been a constant reader of your charming paper for some time past, and must say that I consider it the most complete and interesting of its kind that is pub lished. With much pleasure I read the answers to correspondents ; and since every one seems to have such unlimited confidence in your advice, I venture to ask the following questions, which I hope you will answer immediately : 1st, Will you be so kind as to give me the address of several colleges where the parlor boarders are taught eti quette, music and Spanish—a real finishing off school. 2d. When a gentleman calls for a lady to escort her to a ball, church, walking, riding, etc., which should propose starting, after having set for some time? 3d. When passing your plate at table to be helped, do you remove the knife and fork or allow them to remain in the plate 1st. There are a number of colleges in the South which may be termed “finishing schools,” and in which especial attention is paid to Etiquette, Music and French; and practical lessons arejgirca regularly in the art of entertaining company. Andrew College, in Culthbert, Ga.; Miss Bald win's Seminary, in Hampton, Va.; Prof. Ward’s Seminary, in Nashville, Tenn.; Patapsco Female College, near Baltimore, are a few that occur to us at this moment. 2d. Under the circumstances specified, the gentleman should propose starting. Y'et it is admissible for the lady, if her time is limited, to suggest the lateness of the hour as an excuse. 3d. When helped at the table the second time ’tis advisable to retain the knife and fork in your hand, as they sometimes slip off and on to the floor, causing much embarrassment. Such little points in etiquette can he managed so quiet ly, eveu gracefully, they fail to attract attention or provoke comment. ’Tis not what we do—'tis the manner in which we do it, that renders us conspicuous. L. M. says: For months I have read your valua ble paper; am highly pleased with its informing contents. Especially am I delighted with Mrs. M. E, Bryan’s “Wild Work” and the Answers to Cor respondents. I should like to ask one or two questions. Sometime since I wrote a note to a young lady acquaintance, asking permission to call and see her, but did not state any time. Should the young lady have answered or not? Up to this time I have failed to receive a response. I am also very much interested in the matrimonial lot- j tery. Please tell me something about it, and very much oblige your friend aud subscriber to the wel come Sunny South... .1st. The young lady cer tainly owes you a response to your note. Common etiquette demands a notice of the same, either favorable or unfavorable. Your writing to her was gentlemanly. ’Tis just as little as she can do to prove her claim to be treated as a lady by answer ing promptly. 2d. We shall endeavor to give you some information pertaining to the matrimonial lottery very soon.

Bramlette, widow of the late ex-Governor Bramlette, of Kentucky, and her ac complished daughter, are spending a few ahys in Saratoga, as the guest* of Mrs. E. H. Walworth. The annual commencement ef the New Y'ork Homcepathio College for Women takes place at Steinway Hall, on Thursday evening, April 4. Twenty-six ladies will then receive the degree of M. D. Select music will enliven the proceedings, and ex-Lieutenant Governor Woodford will deliver an address. The college is on the corner of Lex ington avenue and Thirty-seventh street. The “ tie-back” no longer restricts the motions, though it is true the shape and size of the trained skirts, or dressy polonaise, afford as yet but little freedom. Mrs. M. A. Bridge from Florida, is now lectur ing in New York upon the scenery and society of the “ Flowery State.” She tells wonderful things about the beauties of that region, its bountiful pro ductiveness, its magnificent flora, its splendid scenery, etc. Her voice is pleasant and musical, and her handsome eyes and features are as eloquent as her tongue, especially in the more pathetic passages of her lecture. By way of variety she occasionally relates an anecdote illustrative of the religious element which enters so largely into the composition of the negro population ; and she gives a ludicrous account of the popular belief formerly existing at the South in regard to the people of the North, as erroneous as some of the Northern prejudices against the South. Mrs. Faulk, commonly known as “Granny Faulk,” died at her home, about three miles east of Troy, on Tuesday night, at the advanced age of 106 years. She was among the first who settled in this section, and for forty years was a resident of Troy. She was undoubtedly the oldest person in Pike connty at the time of her death. Mrs. President Hayes is in Connecticut. A brilliant reception was given her Wednesday night, (3d inst.) by Mrs. John Shellito. The next day she and her family attended Parson Heron’s wed ding. Grace Greenwood, according to a correspondent, is little and round and lively, and has crimpy waves of hair pushed back from her smiling face, a predilection for light ornaments, dresses on which ruffles, fringes and laces marshal their forces, and a generally bonny appearance provo cative of good humor. MRS. TILTON RELENTING. The New York Sun of the 1st inst., says : “Worried, weary and desiring to escape further notoriety, Mrs. Tilton and her mother, Mrs. Morse, went to dwell in what may be called the outskirts of Brooklyn. They avoided the church and lec ture room, and even denied themselves the conso lation of the Friday evening talk. Mrs. Tilton is penniless. It chanced that Sherman, who has a warmer heart than his legal trickeries would at all times admit, had a spare $10,000 in hand, which, “on dit,” was recompense forced into his unwill ing palm by the gratified and pastorial client. The income of this is said to be applied to the need and necessities of Mrs. Tilton, it being considered hardly the fair thing to allow her to suffer. In addition to this, Mrs. Tilton has given music les sons here and there, and at one time kept a pri vate school. Some few weeks ago, for what reason no one seems to know, Mrs. Morse yielded to Tilton’3 desire to some extent, and brought about a meeting between her daughter and her son-in- law, without the consent, connivance or knowl edge of the former. Of the details of that meeting it would be absurd to pretend to know ; but it is known, however, that then and there Mrs. Tilton told Mr. Tilton distinctly that she would never live with him again. There were no lawyers, no friends, no children, parties to this consultation, and all report, aside from this, is a simple fabrica- tion. When the parties separated it was distinct ly understood that the children were common property and subject to a common discipline, free to be called by one or the other as seemed best for them, and such has been the constant habit. In view of Mr. Tilton’s strong desire and the rapid growth of the children, Mrs. Tilton's extreme de bility and Mrs. Morse’s conversion to the doctrine of reconciliation, judges of human nature in gen eral and observers of Tilton in particular, are con fident of an ultimate scene of forgive and forget.
