Weekly Telegraph ana Meuenger and Southern Farmer’s Monthly AJIAperyr Remit by P. O. Order or Registered Letter, to H. B. DATK.Mmimitr It is u!d of Mr. Mackey, the million aire; that when. the Sisters of Charity began to establish asylums in Nevada ho sent for the mother of the order and told her he would be responsible for all the bills. The report is given circulation by the Washington Star that a! the coming ses sion of Congress an effort will be made to suspend the navigation laws for several years, in order that foreign-bnilt ships maybe registered and sail under the American flag. The plan is to make an experiment for a fixed time. It is against the law to catch trout with nets in Cayuga and Seneca lak:s, but the interior cities of Now York hav ing long been bountifully supplied from these sources, a game constable lately made a trip on Lake Cayuga in a small steamboat to discover and pull up gill nets. He found a large number, and, while destroying one, was shot at from the shore. The rumor that Jay Gould lias pur chased the New York World is again cur rent. A more prqbablo story is that he has purchased the property on the comer of Beekmau street and Park Row, op posite the World office, and will erect thereon a nine-story building for the ac commodation of the AmericanJUnlon Tele graph Company, and for the offices of bis numerous railroads. The creditors of Aichbishop Purcell, of Cincinnati, held a meeting Tuesday to provide a more vigorous prosecution of the salt against the church property begun some montlis ago. The action is against all the Catholic church property in the Cincinnati dioceseo including, with half a dozen exceptions, all the churches, school-houses, parsonages, cemeteries and much other property In Southern Ohio. It was chaiged in the meeting that the assignee is anxious to save the property to the congregations rather than to secure the sale for the benefit of the creditors, and a petition asking the Probate Court to take the matter out of his hands was circulated. A Giml who Feaus sue will be Eaten*.—There is living at the house of Capt. Means, Mys the Milbridge Journal, a girl about nine years of age, whose his tory is remarkable. An American vessel called at a small island in tho Pacific Ocean to procure water. The island was inhabited by cannibals. They brought this little girl to sell for the Captain’s dinner, offering to prepare her for cook ing if they would buy. The Captain told them he would bny her. She was bought, and lire Captain afterwards meeting Capt. Means, gave her to him. She still be lieves she will be killed and eaten, and when strangers enter the house she clings to Mrs. Means, and begs protection of her. Wab between Eotpt and Abys sinia.—A Loudon dispatch of the 2-Uli says: The secretary of the Anti-Slavery Society writes as follows: “It is to l>e feared that there is little hope that war between Egypt and Abyssinia will long be averted. News bas just reached me from undoubted authority to tire effect that orders have been issued from Cairo to drive back tire Abyssinians by force. Two thousand troops arc at Keren, and a battalion has been sent to Sanhit. It is stated that 1C,000 soldiers have left Cairo. A German missionary In Abyssinia states that the King is convinced that Egypt intends to attack him, and has Issued orders that all Mussulmans must leave the country or be baptized.” Steel Rails.—'The rapid growth of railroad business and the sensible improve ment in the income! of the corporations have lately given a tremendous impulse to the market for steel rails, in which the demand far outruns the supply. The New York Bulletin notes a great number of orders for rails in small and large quan tities. The Chicago Tribune, speaking of the “boom” in this article, says that the Edgar Thompson Steel Works, at Pittsburg, have lately received orders for £0,000 tons, the demand coming principal ly from new roads pushing their way westward, and including tho Texas Pacific, the Atchison and Topeka, the Wabash and the Louisville aod Nash ville. These rails range from 00 to CO pounds to the yard, while the Baltimore and Ohio and the Pennsylvania roads, for all their heavier grades, are securing rails whieh weigli 07 pounds per yard. These orders are taken at a fixed price. It is estimated that thi3 firm alone in 1881 Will roll 120,000 tons of rails, for all of which it has orders. Theso rails will supply 1,140 miles of railway with steel track. It will therefore require fifteen mills of llio capacity of the Edgar Thomp son works, working full time, to supply rails enough to equip all our railroads with steel rails in tho course of five years. Mrs. Rennie, tho wife of a ratliej wealthy Nevada mining expert, is said by a correspondent ol the Cincinnati Enquir er to he tho Mrs. Langtry of this city. She is thus described: “It is said that ahe is Mexican, or at least of mixed Mex ican and Spanish parentage. She is not more than 17, but, being a brunette, she looks .20 or so. She is the bride of a year. Her height is about five leet seven, and she has a faultless fignre—Just full enongli to be round, with pleasing swells and tapers, and & perfectly graceful carriage. Her head is held proudly, but, without stiffness, ller hair is coal black and naturally Abundant. If I have left her day, will face to describe last it is because that is the climax of her beauty. Her com plexion is as dark as a quadroon’s, but withont a tinge of yellowness, being as bright and clear' as that of a blonde. The richness of her color is something marvellous. Her eyes large, black, and are the most pas sionately expressive I ever saw. Her features are precisely regular, except that her lips are rather full, though shapely. Indeed, the regularity of her features would in a girl of less warmth of color cause a Jack of expression; but in her case the blood conies too close to the sur face, and the eyes flash too spiritedly to psrinit of such a detriment. She is indeed a glorious creature.” The writer says that Mis. Rennie lias been taken up by society as a pet; that ahe will preside at the floral-liootli of a big fashionable fair, that she has been engaged to appear in tableaus for charity, and is becoming ail Unerase.

Tabled on motion of Mr. Barrow, of tho committee temporarily. A number of bills were read the first time, but as I have already repotted them by their titles whoa referred to the local and special committee, It is useless to ro port them. • On motion of Mr. Barrow, of Clarke the hill authorizing the issue of additional bonds by the ordinary of Clarke county to take up and fund certain outstanding bonds now due, was taken up and read the second time. Several otlnr kills were also read the second time, already re ported. Thanksgiving Day was cold, misty, rainy and unpleasant. The services in tiie ball of Representa tives were attended .largely by the citizens and members, and here and there the dis couraged bonnet of a lady could be seen. Dr. David Wills, of tho United States army, formerly of Macon, pronounced one of his most qtoquont and characteristic discourses, full "of power, rtietoric aud hope. The sacred music was led by the Fifth Artillery band. i Tho recent.electiou of. judicial officers, which was concluded day before jrester- 1 probability be the last which will take mace for some time, as there are tliree hills In the Assembly to abolish this system of obtaining our judges and solicitore gcnoral. One bill has been introduced in . the Senate and two in the House. One of the House hills contemplates tho.election of these officers by tiie people of their respective circuits; the other bill commits f bo duty of ap pointment to the Governor. Wo arc ail glad the elections arc over. It has been a mostftedious labor and bas thus far monopolize J the attention of the General Assembly. Since Tuesday of last week the two houses have been engaged continuously, morning and afternoon, in the simple matter of calling the roll and voting. Three weeks have gone aud it has beenfmpossible to attend to any legisla tion In this time, for while not actually engaged iu voting, the attention of legis lators lias been necessarily eugrosseifby the one hundred candidates for the va rious offices. It has been the dnty of mem bers to listen to them patiently and iu the main good officers have been obtained. The system, like every other which has been tried for the selection of officers of the Judiciary, has its grave objections. The general disposition now is to ad journ over until summer. The principal of the State demanded it. Mr. Milner was arguments urged ip favor of the movo- 1 applauded loudly. meat sac, first, that the constitution of tiie ( Mr. Feck, of Rockdate, called the prnvt- Stale imperatively requires the Legisla- ous question.

If so, it will be economy to the State if tiie time which would now be required to complete the present session is saved and nsed for the adjourned session. If the July, 1831. The call resulted as follows: Yeas 51, nays 73. So the motion to postpone did not prevail. The question then recurred on tho orig ina! proposition, which is to adjourn on Saturday week till the first Wednesday In full timo is now cousumcd the extra ses sion will be clear additional expense, but if the adjournment is made at once there will be little extra expense in the contem plated summer session. It is urged by many that the numerous elections have placed it utterly out of their power to give proper consideration to the important sub- Jecuof railroads, penitentiary, education, etc., and that anything done upon them now would be lrastv, crude and imperfect. By summer they will have matured measures necessary to effect some much needed reforms. When the members as sembled no one knew to what particular duty he would be assigned, but now all the committees are appointed and each one knows the subject which requires his study and attention. In consequence of the time occupied by these elections, no progress has been made in the business of legislation, further than the introduction aud reference of bills. With this excep tion, nothing has been done and it has been impossible to do more. The busi ness other than that of the elections, may bo said to be just started. I think, if my memory is not incorrect, that there have been but three speeches made this term, and they were all very short. This House is not given to much speaking. House adjourned. Cabolynx. Atlanta, November 27. Tho Senate met pursuant to adjourn ment. Prayer by the chaplain. The Jour nal read aud approved. The unfinished business, being tho reso lution to adjourn on the 4th of December, was taken up. The chair had decided that a two-thirds vote was necessary, and from this decision an appeal was made.

Mr. Barrow’s re marks stamped him as one of tile moat af fective speakers in the House. Mr. Estes spoke in favor of postponing the consideration of the matter.

Commodore Joseph de Stephenson,well known all over the Western continent, and now a resident of Antelope creek, in this county, informs us that during tho summer he hsd been incessantly pros pecting in this section, having the faith in finding a great fortune, and that at one time he lived on roasted barley for seven, teen days, sare two doves and an occa sional rattlesnake. He has killed since his advent to Antelope rattlesnakes, whose skins lie has retained, which, when stretched out, will measure sixty yards. Tho Commodore has a long stick with a crotch on one end, between which he has fixed a thong, with which he captures these little pet3 by pushing the fork over the neck, holding tho snakes secure until he decapitates them. He tells us that, af ter skinning the snake, lie cuts the meat up Into slices three or four inches long, puts into salt water for a few hours, when he takes it out and fries it in hot lard un til it turns to a brown color, when it is ready for tho table, and is unsurpassed by any meat in the world.—Prescott (A.

It was not until the last part of the sixteenth cen tury that table forks were introduced in to polite society in England. . - They were partially known in Italy in the tenth century, for in a letter to Peter Dainiani, who died in 1072, mention is made of a lady from Constantinople, who was married to the Dodge of Venice, aud who wa! so fastidious respecting her* food as to use a fork to take her. meat. They are ;mentioned in a chatter, of Ferdinand I. of Spain, 1101, and in the wardrobe accounts of Edward I. of Eng land are specified a pair of knives of sil ver^ and forks of crystal. the un- EngFand Ih.tfio fol lowing one. At the close of the sixteenth century they were noticed as a luxury in France, in fact, so late as 1041 they were not universal in Paris. In a representa tion of a great feast held by tho cobblers in th|t year no forks were on the tabic.

Two ItaurkiSla >w—TM* Am Mtlens usd Pc reuse! AppssrssM. Cincinnati O atrite tine Fork Letter} Tiie former was an Ann street man for six years, and what years of toil they were ! lie met Greeley almost daily, but there was no congeniality, audit is doubt ful if they ever held a half hour’s co lvere salion. Bennett, however, saw tiie power of the laborious printer and editor, who was plodding with such determination, and lie offered him a partnership m the Herald. The idea was impracticable, since each man was a leafier, and you might as well have united Ben Franklin and Voltaire in a grand journalistic effort. BotlTdennett mud Greeley were ambitious, but one looked on the journal merely as tho road to wealth and distinction, while the other viewed wealth merely as a means of making the journal. The per fect newspaper was Greeley’s lifelong Ideal. Bennett cired nothing for the con tents of his paper so long as It sold. Gree ley, on the other band, did not expect wide popularity, nor did he care fur its loss so lqug as the paper was maintained in its noble destiny. He did not (as he said) “expect to please every one. but he intended to make a paper in which everybody (ot decent character) might find something of interest and noth ing offensive to morals.” For this rea son lie employed writers of classical at tainment, In which point he was utterly deficient. Bennett, on the other band, though a fine Latin aud Greek scholar, was indifferent to literary style. He wanted a corps of free lancers to make forays on society, and required spice rath er than elegance. Greeley essayed the discussion ot social topics with a view of improving the race, wbilo Bennett' only laughed at the reformer and his ethics. To quote his words, “Greeley was a gal vanized squash.” This was the end of all controversy. When these remarka ble men left Ann street, one went to the cast and tho other to the west. They were, however, only separated a few hun dred feet, and for nearly thirty years each labored in producing a great journal—but what a gulf between them! Greeley and Bennett, when they were Ann street editors, were both of slender build, but in expression of face there was a vast difference. Their offices were near, but they were approached from different directions, and, hence, seldom mot. Gree ley general'y entered Aim street from Broadway, while Bennett’s route was from tho Nassau street comor. Greeley, though slightly stooping, looked people square in the face, while Ronnell, who was four inches taller, stood holt upright, but fixed his eye downward, as though to conceal hit repulsive features. Bennett walked stiffly and carried a cane. Greeley would have felt as awkward with the letter as he crease, would with a * sword. Bennett 1 •Jressed neatly. Greeley was a sloven, Bennett wrote a legible hand (lie once was a teacher), while Gree ley’s caligraphy was abominable. As an editor, Bennett’s forte was to dictate, while Greeley’s was to write. The Her ald’s best articles were done by the staff, while tho Tribune’s thunderbolts bore the stamp of its chief. Both of these hlon were abstemious, and although Bennett was olten the apologist for vice, his Iiahits were very correct; his iufluoncc, however, was always for sale. Each of these eccentric editors, though III adapted for courtship, bocamo married men. Few men had less time.for lovo matters or less grace to win woman’s favor than Bennett, but he announced with pride his ap proaching wedding. The birth oflejeune cdileur was announced with still greater pride; and wbat a career the young editor lias endured! Both Greeley and Bennett were borne to Greenwood eight years ago. Garfield and Civil Service Reform' _WasuinotuNV November 20.—Horace White and F. W. Whitney, representing thd Independent Republican Association of New York, called on General Garfield at his residence hero to-day, and present' eil him with an address from that associa tfon congratulating him upon ids election, and calling Ids attention to tiie present condition of civil service reform. The address says: . “Tho dangers to our polit ical system from the savage contest every four years respecting tho distribution of federal offices seem to us extremely grave. History leaches that the tiling most to bo guarded against in a republic is tiie ex cess of party rage. Tids spirit, always sufficiently active under free governments, is stimulated ami augmented to an alarm ing danger by the 'spoils' system, which regards all federal officers as prizes of the majority, and which wonld have snatched from tiie whole body of present incum bents their means of livelihood if a few thousand votes in tlite State which were cast for himself iiad been cast for General Hancock. Is It not apparent that tho greed and terror inspired by such a system must add largely to the bitterness of our national elections, and increasingly as the country grows in population and federal patronage becomes,more extensive ? No other civilized government exposes its public servants to the danger of beggary upon the hazard of an election, or would expect good service from them under such conditions.” After recoj in the way tiujien “We holievo, however, that pub lic opinion is in advance.ofauy reform of the civil service hitherto attempted, and that you may safely establish riles for tho entrance ’< to all subordinate ■ positions which shall make ascertained merit tiie sole test of appointment—discarding botli partisan services and party affiliation from tins list''of qnalifications. In this way a new basis may be gradually gained for the civil intvico to rest upon, so that hereafter no political party in its hour' of triumph shall look upon public offices as an enemy’s camp, subject to indiscrimi nate pillage-” — The aiklicss.is signed by the ExccuUvo Committee or tne' Independent Republi can Association. Geiieral Garfield, after reading the paper, entered upou a discus sion of the civil service, in the courso of winch lie said he Imped to have the co-op eration of Congress in establishing a legal basis for ail routine appointments, so that it shall not be iu the power of anybody, even the President himself, to remove any capable and faithful appointee during his term of office, whether the time bo'long of short. „ v FOREIGN.
