Georgia Advocate: “A few days since
an ear (or ears) of corn was shown us by
Mr. William Wh<*lchel that surpasses
anything we have been allowed to sec.
It is a full, large well-termed ear of corn,
with six smaller around it, all under one
-buck. The phenomenon in corn, wo
suppose, was caused by the corn (after
the first growth) taking a second growth,
w hich formed the ears around the cen
tral one. It was raised by Mr. Henry
McPherson, living about a mile from this
place. It will l>e sent to the fair.”
Marietta Journal: “A ear load of lime
from Chattanooga was placed on the
sidling here for one of our merchants,
and when the colorod man, Dolphus, un
locked and opened the door, out jumped
a tramp, a white man, whose dotes were
coved with lime, looking as scary as Ban
quo’s ghost. The sudden and unexpect
ed appearance of this individual was such
a complete surprise that the colored man
was overcome with fright. The tramp
hid in the car at Chattanooga and was
locked up by the agent, and had been
without food and water for some time.
His release was joy, and lie wanted to
know at once how far lie was from At

Atlanta Dispatch: “A few days ago a
farmer named Brown, living a few miles
in the country, came into town to get
supplies. W hile conversing with the
shopkeeper he said he was a widower
with three children, and if he come
across the right sort of a woman he’d
marry her to take care of his home and
children. The shopkeeper mentioned the
name of a widow at 43 Powers street,
Mrs. Martha Wawiek, and represented
her as being capable in every way of
making a good wife, a good housekeeper,
and a good mother to his children. Mr.
Brown asked for an introduction and re

Regarding absenteeism in the house,
the Atlanta Dispatch says: “The list of
absentees in the house is not so great late
ly. There are at present only a few
members absent, and the greater part of
these are away on account of sickness.
It is a natural consequence upon the late
extremely heated season and the daily
sessions of the body since the second day
of July, that considerable indisposition
must prevail among the members. To
those who have visited the gallery of the
house and have observed the many va
cant seats below, we will say that there
are now, in pursuance to resolutions of
the house, five investigating committees
constantly at work—four of which are
cun posed of nine members and the other

TIIE CAUSES OF AGRICULTURAL
DEPRESSION IN ENGLAND.
It is stated by -competent authorities
that the average cost of growing wheat
in England is 475. (sd. to 48s. per quarter,
and that American wheat can lx? deliver
'd at Liverpool with a margin of 4s. for
profit for 355. per quarter. Also that the
Ymerican farmer can supply the Liver
pool meat market without loss at some
thing under a pound, while the
English farmer cannot do as much at
than 7%d. A pound. Against such comj
petition tne English farmers are fighting
with the pluck which characterizes the
race, but the odds are so great that crush
ing defeat seems inevitable. It is for this
reason that representatives of the parlia
mentary coin mission appointed to cou
sirler the agricultural depression in Eng
land have come to this country to learn
its agricultural resources and methods.
(Tn Saturday Clare Sewell Read and Al
bert Pell, members of the house of com
mons, the commissioners who are to study
American farming, landed at New York.
Both of these gentlemen are tenant far
mers, and thus belong to that class in
England from which the burden of com
plaints come. They are to glean facts
in this country and to report them to the
royal commission, in order to aid that
body in reaching ah intelligent and com
prehensive conclusion. Their purpose is
to study agriculture on the farm, or, in
the words of one of the commissioners
as reported by a New York journol, “to
trace a bushel of seed corn from the
farmer’s hands to the time it reaches tbo
English mouths.”
The commission comprises a number
of large landowners, at least eight hun
dred thousand acres being represented by
owners. Among its numbers are the
duke of G'ueeleugh, the duke of Rich
mond and Gordon, Earl Spencer, Mr.
Gosrheu and Bonamy Price. It is hard
ly thought tlie commission will be ready
to report until two years have gone by.
One of the commissioners is reported as
saying that American fruit and fresh veg
etables are beginning to find their way
to the English markets, and that avert'
large trade is to spring up in this direc
tion. The report of these gentlemen, as
well as that of the main commission, can
not fail to be be of exceeding interest to
the United States.
If, says the Philadelphia Record, the
continuance of American competition
means the overthrow of the British land
ed gentry, the outlook cannot but be re
garded with trepidation by the entire
English speaking race. It will be a so
cial revolution, from which a class that
have done so much for civil liberty as the
English landowners should be spared.
It is earnestly hoped that measures may
be found for averting such a catastrophe.
EUGENIE’S WEALTH.
A London letter says/ “The ex-Em
press of France is said to be one of the
richest widows in England. In addition
to her Hungarian estate she has a castle
in Spain and a nice palace in Switzerland.
But hard cash is what comes most useful
to dethroned sovereigns who hope to re
turn, and of this the Empress has long
had abundance. It is estinuffed in Paris
that she is worth at least a million ster
ling. Only recently she sold a large
block of house property in the Rue d’Al
ba, in Paris, and M. Rouher’s house, a
well known political centre at the corner
of the Rue de l’Elyses, was hers, in her
own right, and was sold last year for
$15,000. The death of the Prince adds
to her property, since he left to her a con
siderable amount of landed property in
Italy, as well a.=j the Toulouse property,
bequeathed to him by the grisly General
who had been equerry to the Prince
when he toddled about the corriders ol
rln * Tuilleries nearly three feet high and
weighted with the miniature uniform of
ri colonel in the Gent Garde. This vast
property was no incumbrance to the Em
press whilst yet she had a son to live and
seneme for. It was drained pretty freely
by the Bonapartist organs of the press in
France. The Ordre and the Pays were
lavishly supported by the Empress, and
she also drew handsome checks in favor
of the reduction of the Gaulois. The
need for keeping these fires warm is now
dead. The Empress is not likely to keep
newspapers alive to work for her good
cousin Jerome.”

LEADVILLE AND ITS MINES.
Although but little over a year old,
the centre of business population for the
new silver mining districts in Colorado,
contains already over ten thousand in
habitants, whilst working in the mines or
prospecting among the hills there is said
to be eight thousand people more who
look to Leadvillc for their supplies. This
mountain town, or rather mining camp,
for, built up with all sorts of rude struc
ture- hastily improvised, it can scarcely
yet be called a town, lies in the midst of
the mountains 13,500 feet above the sea
level. These mountains are said to teem
with argentiferous galena (silver mixed
with lead) and with carbonates of silver.
They are already honeycombed around
Leadville, with holes and shafts opened
by prospectors and subsequently aban
doned ; but sixty mines are paying well,
and some of them aie turning out ore
which are represented to be enormously
rich in silver. The value of yield of sil
ver up to August 1, 1879, is put at ten
millions of dollars, but with the force
now at work the product is estimated at
a million and a half of dollars per month.
Three railroads are already pushing to
ward Leadville, and one has gotten with
in thirty miles of it. All the mountains
not yet explored are supposed to be equal
ly rich iu silver, but the climate is so
cold that the warmest underclothing and
an overcoat are needed every day in the
year, and the air is so rarified that only
robust persons can breathe it with im
punity.
Iu Somerset county, Md., last week, a
line pair of oxen, belonging to E. B.
Cook, and drawing a hogshead of water,
ran into a shallow ditch, in which the
water was not more than a foot deep, to
get a drink. When they put their heads
down to drink the hogshead rolled down
to the front of the cart, and with such
force as to bear the muzzles of the oxen
down into the water and drive the cart
tongue forward and into the ditch bank
in front, far enough to hold them in that
position. Before they could be extri
cated from the cart they had strangled to
death in the water.
Theex-Empress Eugenie has just pur
chased of Baron Sessler-Herzinger the
castle of Wasserburg, Upper Syria. The
front contains one hundred and twenty
two windows, and the building is over
four hundred years old. She will have
the ex-Khedive of Egypt as a neighbor,
if be succeeds in buying of Moritz Von
Bartman his castle of prank.
The statue of liberty, the giftof French
men to America, will he completed with
in two year. The lottery;- instituted to
procure the required funds has proved i
successful. In height it is as tall as the
column in the palace Vcndome, Paris.
While Isaac R. Martindale, of Phila
delphia, was drawing a check at the
Girard bank in that city, on Saturday, a
stranger directed his attention to a note
on tiie floor, and walked off with twenty
four hundred dollars.

ELECTRICITY !
I ELECTRICITY I
Possesses the greatest power known to man, once
but little understood and for all time greatly
feared, is now made useful and subservient
to man.
1 THEN EW METHGD f
Of protection against lightning, on the theory
and patent of J. C. CHAMBERS, which he has
recently discovered, is rapidly taking the place
of the old rod.
7 THE OLD PLAN] ]
Ofrodding buildings—connecting the rod with
the earth—has been proven unsafe, and even
dangerous. The new method places the rod and
points on the roof of the honse, much after the
old style, with Chambers’ Improved Insulators,
with no rod running down the side of the house
to the earth.
[RODS AN P POINTS \
Put up on Chambers' theory, operate as active
agents facilitating the natural laws of electrici
ty by a continuous discharge or throwing ofl' the
nogative electricity, thereby neutralizing the
positive in the atmosphere above, and particu
larly so during a heavy thunder storm, thus re
pelling a stroke instead of inviting it. In the
event these points should not {throw off the
negative fast enough and a stroke should take
place at one of these points, it simply runs off at
the other points and is disseminated in the at
mosphere above where it belongs.
~T CHAMBERS’ NE W IY! ETH OP I
Has been examined and thoroughly tested by
scientific men, and pronounced to be the only
correct principle for protection.
We have accepted an agency, and arc now
ready to put up rods ou the pi an of the new
method. Any one wishing to see this theory
demonstrated, can do so by calling at our store,
where we will take pleasure in exhibiting the
