S. M; COHEN, Bargain Store, Cotton Avenue. At the astronomical observatory of Berlin, Bays a translation from Nyo Pressen Helsinglor, a discov ery has lately been made, which, without doubt, will cause the great est sensation, nut only among the adepts in science, but even among the most learned. Professor Blend' an, in that city, has found, be- yend a donbt, that our old friend the moon, is not a mere lantern whioh kindly furnishes us lights lor the loving youth and the gas com. panics of our planet, but the abode ot living, intelligent beings, for which ho is prepared to furnish proofs most convincing. The question has agitated hu manity from time immemorial, and has been the object of the greatest interest. But the opinions have always differed very widely, and no two minds held one and the same. Already in ancient times the belief prevailed that the moon was inhabited by some higher or ganized, 'intelligent befngB, some what resembling man, and in order to communicate witli them the earthly enthusiasts planted rows of trees several miles in length so as to form the flgnrs of tho 'Pythago rean theorem. The celebrated as tronomer Schroeder, in the begin ning of the present century, fancied that he could detect places on the surface of the moon which period ically grew lighter and darker, and trom this fact lie derived the con clusion that the phenomenon was then proof positive of existing vegetation. During the last two decades, however, the idea of life on the moon has been held up to ridicule, and totally scorned by men of learning. But, nevertbe- less, it has now been proven to bo correct. By accident Dr. tilendmnn found that the moon eavo but very unsat isfactory results, owing to tho in tensity of the moon’s atmosphere, which is that strong that it affects the correctness of the observations in a very high degree. He then conceived the idea to make tke object-glass of the refraotor less sensitive to the rays of tho light, and for that purpose he darkened it with the smoke of camphor. It took months of experimenting bo- fore he succeeded in finding his right degree of obscurity of the glass, and when linaliy found ho then with tho refractor took a very accurate photo of tke moon’s sur face. This he placed in a sun mi croscope, which gave the pioturo a diameter of 55J feet. Tho revela tion was most startling. It per fectly overturned all hitherto en tertained ideas of the moon’s bur- face. Those lovcl plains which for merly were held to be oceans of water proved to bo verdant Helds, and what formerly were considered mountains turned out as grand des erts of sand or ojeans of water. Towns and hsbitatiooB otjUl kinds were plainly discernibloi as well as signs of industry and traflic. The learned Professor’s study and ob servations of old Luna will bo re- repeated every full moon when the sky is clear, and we venture to pre- diet that the time is not far off when we shall know more about the man in the moon than as being an agent in English polities. leiliu*, boothed and A Grand Melon Patch. We rode down to Copt. Kolb' big watermelon patch on the Pugh place, a day or two since, and it a sight worth beholding. In one patch there are ISO aores—the vines all looking in healthy and vigor- ous oondition and Rill of fruit rang ing in size from a thimble to a man’s bead. About two acres in this patch are planted in the “Kolb Gem” and tho balance In what known as the “ratilesnake” melon. Then, in a separate patoh of 20 aores, are tho “Kolb Gem,” but recently planted and now just coming up, which havo been planted exclusive ly for the New Orleans Exposition it being the Captain’s purpose tc have on exhibition 1,000 of bis “Kolb Gem” melons during the month of December. This melon, as we have heretofore stated, will keep fresh and sweet for three months after ueing taken from the vine, if kopt in cool and dry place, and, we dare say, bis One melons in December will attract no little at tention at the big show In the Ores cent City. But aside from his great melon crop, Capt. Kolb has about 100 acres of the prettiest young cotton that can be found anywhere around hsre. He and Hr. YV. A. Daughtie aro running a large portion of tbe Pugh plantation in co-partnership, having leased it for a number of years, and tboir crops at this time aro looking remarkably well and paomisc a line yield. Of the Captain’s peach orchard on hls.home place, we might say that it is putting him to bis trumps to handle it this year. He is ship ping daily about 100 crates of peaohes, and still they uro ripening on the treos so fast that ho has been compelled to sell tbom for Imme diate use in this market and for wbat they will bring. There are but few months in tho year that some produet of tho Kolb truck farm cannot be found In market. Consequently be is one of tho il. Instrions few farmers who is never ont of money. Ho makes only enough cotton to brldgo him over tho winter months when all vegeta tion Is dead, but early in tho spring he gets monoy for his strawberries and vegetables, a little later on comes his peaches and melons and pears, then his corn and cotton and then winds up abont the first of December with a big deal in pump kins. Just bow bo can do all this and at tbo same time watch and fight tho opposition in politlos, and bo “bulger” under the Democratic wagon in every meeting of bia beat, and in eounty and State conven tions, and rlso act as Secretary of tbo Barbour Agricultural Society, is a mystery.

Maj. Holliday tolls a good Btory of bow two brothers, owning four stores in copartnership, failed aud paid 105 cents on the dollar. It was before tbe war when railroad and telegraphic communications wore not by any means perfeot. Tho lour stores were looated in as many towns and some miles apart. Tho two brothers bad a conference and agreed to offer their New York creditors 50 cents on the dollar, but there was some mismidcmtandinf about how it was to be managed Separating, one brother armed him. self with enough casli to settle tbeir indebtedness at the rate proposed, and started, unknowingly, itseems, to the other brother, on bis journey to New York. Arriving there bo mode a showing and tho house ac cepted bis offer and bis cash, Their indebtedness was mainly to one house. In the mean time an agent of tbe boase, who having beard of tho failure, journeyed to where the other brother resided, and perfected a settlement with him at 55 cents on the . dollar. When, in due, time, it transpired - that the failing firm had paid five per cent, more than their real indebtedness, they commenced suit tor tbe recov ery of tbo amount paid over at tbe settlement lost mado, claiming that the first was received in full pay ment for all claims. Bat tbe fact that they bad money enough in cash to over settle tbeir indebtedness, and then still enough left to prose cute a suit, mode a prima facie case of an effort to swindle, and tbe court did not even allow them to recover tbe five per cent, over paid. 1 Two noted weather prophets, Tioo and Y r eunor, have died this year, leaving YViggins with a big- job on band, which probably ac counts for tbe recent unseasonable weather - “ ' ■* " •; • t ■ The Old Printer.

He went to bed about the time the rest of the warld got up, and he rose about tba time tbe rest of the world sat down to dinner. He worked by evety klnd of light except sunlight.
