The Evening News says: 1 ‘The men who hart Augusta the most are the rich men who go awpy in the summer under the belief that they cannot sfay here all the year.” A merchant of this town sold a Idas cov ersd bustle to a colored lady the other day for a bonnet. It was the only thing that would suit her taste, and is said to have looked real sweet. There was a bad aocident on the Mobile A Girard road yesterday, in which a train ran off a trestle, killing the engineer, fireman, baggage master, and possibly others. Fall particulars could not be learned. When you cut your oats break up the ground immediately and let it grow up in crop grass.

In connection with the subject of regi¬ mental losses there is the important there one of losses by disease. In our army were twice as many death* from disease as from bullets. In the Confederate army the loss from disease was, for ob¬ vious reasons, much less, being smaller Hmn their loss in battle. This loss by <h«kum was, la our northern regiments, very unevenly distributed, running as low aa thirty in some and exceeding 600 in others, while in some of the colored regi- mdftte it was still greater. There seems to be an impression that the regiments which suffered most in battle lost also the most from disease. This is an error, the direct opposite being the truth. The report of the war department for I860 says, regarding this subject, that “It Is to be noted that those states which show large mortality ou the battlefield likewise show large mortality by disease.” This may be true of the state totals, but is wholly incorrect as to the regiments themselves; for, >■ ith but few exceptions, the regiments e. Inch sustained the heaviest Iom in I . tie show the smallest number of • ■ratii.j from disease. The infe. cnee is a fair one that the fi ghting regiments owed their exemp¬ tion from disease to the same pluck which made them famous, and which enabled them to withstand its encroach¬ ments without tamely giving It up and lying down under its attack. was a question of mental as well as bodily stamina, and hence there is found in certain black regiments a mortality from disease exceeding by far that of any white troops, a fact which cannot be ac¬ counted for by cli: reasons, because the particular regime..is referred to were recruited from blacks who were born and raised along the Mississippi, where where these troops were stationed, and the loss occurred.—-Col. William F. Fox in The Century. Reataurant Life In London. Americans engaged in making tho grand European tour can^ never under¬ stand one tea 1 e of restaurant life in London. If yi ■. ippen to bea bachelor, and therefore di, dent on chop houses for meals, as the hotels rarely provide for the inner man, you will probably look around for a comfortable place where you can get acquainted and take all your meads. That is the great error into which all travelers fall. In London you want to select three different chop houses, one for breakfast, dinner and supper, or is you wish to be English sans reproche, you must have another for the evening lunch about 11 o’clock. These houses all make a speci¬ alty of one meal, and while you may be supplied with enough to dull your appe¬ tite at other houses, you will only get perfect service at the one table for which the house has made a reputation. Then, for example, take a dinner chop house: You take a seat, order a piece of roast beef and have the whole roast wheeled out in front of your table while the waiter slices off a juicy morsel that would tempt an anchorite in Lent. When you come to understand these things you can live with greater satisfaction on $5 a day than an American could on double that amount at home. Tips are nothing, as a penny apiece is enough to satisfy ordinary waiter#.—Globe Democrat. Tlie Women of Morocco. In the cities throughout Morocco I found it Impossible to get more than a passing view of a woman’s face, so jeal¬ ously are they veiled and guarded, and especially among the higher classes, whore the women, possessing no more intelligence than a child, are taught that all men but their lords and owners are fiends. Occasionally, however, by acci¬ dent or design, the face covering would be dropped for an instant just as a wo¬ man passed me, and at the same time an arm and shoulder would be presented to my gaze. The women of Morocco are of all shades and colors, and I must say that some of tho handsomest women I ever saw, both in feature and form, were full blooded negresaes. Another surprise was to notice that many of tho Moorish beauties would show a snowy rounded arm and a clear pink and white skin that the most beau¬ tiful woman in Boston would have been glad to possess, but where they got this skin and complexion I could never find out, for the men, perhaps, from their constant exposure to the sun, are tanned and blackened almost to the color of the negroes. In the country all is different, and ljttle attempt is made by the women to be stingy with their charms, unless from some religious motives, and to this freedom of the country many a poor simple girl owes her position as prime favorite in the harem of some Moorish dignitary, who saw her perfections while traveling by her fathers tent or hut.— Cor. Boston Transcript. Ceylon*. Talma and Cocoannt Trees. This low land up at the northern neck of the island is largely planted in Pal¬ myra palms. For 120 miles along the western and southwestern shore it is a fringe from one to seven miles deep of cocoanut trees. These two kinds of trees support the bulk of the native population. They furnish the material from which they build and roof their huts. The sap gives them their sugar and their intoxi- oants. The green nut is their milk and the ripe nut much of their 6olid food. From the bark and leaves they make sheds, fans and matting; from the fiber, sails, cordage, fishing nets, etc. The young leaves are their salads. The ripe fruit gives them oil for tbeir lamps, for their hair and for cooking purposes. They wear for clothing the net woven by nature about the foot stalks of the leaves; plait hats, and sunshades, and baskets from the fronds, and drink from the cup; sail in boats constructed of the hard, old wood, and when sick make medicine from the llowers. The uses of the palm are said to run into several hundreds, and are the themes of innumerable native poems.—Carter Harrison in Chicago Times. The Mediterranean Sponge Fishery. Science has claimed the sponge fishery of the Mediterranean. The native divers who oould stay under water not more than two minutes are being driven out by men in regular diving armor, who can work bjr the hour. A German pro¬ fessor has originated a method of plant¬ ing cuttings from sponges, and it i9 being E rosecuted with success.—New York Subscribe for the News. CENTRAL RAILROAD OF 6E0R6IA.

Savannah, The Language# of Bird#. Shall we never master the language# of beasts, as even the parrot and the star- ling will in their own automatic way master portions of ours? To a certain extent this has been accomplished. A hunter tries to imitate by his “calf* the cries of the animals he is luring to their destruction, and is often successful in an exact ratio to his skill in this rough ac¬ quaintance with the speech of the lower animals. Mr. Henderson, an American “gunner, ” has managed to set the cries of some of the gaipe birds in musical notation, and finds that they are quite as uniform as are the same words spoken by different persons. They have their songs of love as well as exclamations of fear and defiance. The quail has one set of notes when it is “a proud, happy, and affectionate father,” and another when in the autumn he is sounding the “assembly” in order to tell the scattered birds of the chosen rendezvous for the covey. Every other bird has, in like manner, language suitable for different occasions, and the clever sportsman can often easily wile the birds within range. Some songs, like some human Lan¬ guages, are more difficult than others. The spotted sandpiper’s is much easier than that of the yellow leg, while the English snipe is a moody bird, which speaks only in its unmusical squeak into when it is startled, and springs flight Hence a musician The can readily write it down. eong birds—the robins, the thrush, the nightingales, and so forth—have, however, a far more complicated tongue, and Mr. Cheney, who has reported some of their melodies, finds the task by no means simple. Some of these songs are stereotyped, but on more than one occasion the songsters have been noticed to extemporize when the mood took them. For example, the song often varies before and after rain, in spring and autumn; while one of the redbreast’s songs is to the same tune as that to which the spuming girls sang fifty years ago while reeling their yam. —London Standard. Spearing Sucker* In the Mud. Spearing suckers by torchlight is a sport much practiced on the western bank of the Passuio river for a distance of several miles. Every night the torches can be seen flashing along shore a a far as the eye can reach, and the effect is pecu¬ liar and very pleasing. The fish always lie close in shore at night, and os they are of o sluggish nature, and can be quite easily seel? by the aid of the torches, some of the more skillful oarsmen secure a large number will in a short time. Some nights there be an almost continuous line of torches for the distance of a mile. Spearing suckers is the tamest and most stupid manner of taking fish, still fishing with angle worms ranking next, and is regarded by sportsmen as being about on a par with pot hunting for game; the highest form is casting fov trout, ba3s or other game fish.—Paterson Guardian. -foU.
