At the monthly court house sales at Augusta, on Tuesday, Bank of Augus ta stock brought $69.50 per share; Nation al Exchange bank stock $99; Granlteville Factory slock S159; twenty shares Au gusta Laud Companj stock, $120; ten shares Round Mountain Coal and Iron Company stock, $50; two shares Augusta Beal Estate and Building Association stock, $91; five shares Barrett Manufactur ing Company stock, $S3; eighty shares Belle Greene Mining Company stock, $1.30; four shares Georgia Railroad Com pany stock, $170; five shares Real Estate and Building Association stock, $93. The Athens Banner says two young men ot that place left there one morning at an early hour “for Wilkes county, a distance of forty-eight miles, and drove there by one o’clock, remained all the afternoon with the fair ones, and started back about night, reaching home two hours before day the next morning. This is equal to some of the railroads in this section.” W* find the following shocking story In the same paper: It sounds strange m this land of plenty to hear that any one has died for the actu- *1 necessaries of life. And yet & coroner $ jury, Impaneled to inquire into the cause of the death of Mrs. Jane Fitxpatrick, Which occurred Saturday evening In this t3ty. savs that she died from disease nek, we only know from the evi dence given the jnry, but judging from this, he Is a man, who scarcely posseses a human heart, so brutal and abandoned does It make him appear. The family lived on Bridge street, near the river. From the testimony or the several wit nesses sworn we get tfaeso facts .* John Fitzpatrick had failed or refused to provide his wife with anything to eat for several weeks, and she being in a feeble conditior had been compelled to bee for such things she could eat. Mr. Wiley F. Hood bad supDlied her on several occasions, knowing that hs roald not hope to get any pay from Fitzpatrick. She had also done a little sewing lor a lady in the city, and with the money she got for this had managed to subsist, until she finally became too sick and weak to work at all. All this time her husband treated her in a most brutal manner, and not only failed to supply anything to eat, but required her to cook and work for him while sick. Qe also refused to see a doctor about her, and even the night before she died lie sat on the bed and cursed her and said she ought to die. The neighbors helped her occa sionally, but their ministrations came too late. Dr. J. M. Carlton, who saw her, said she had contracted intermittent fever and that he prescribed for her, but it was shown that she never received any medi cine, her bnsband refusing to give it to her. She drank considerable water on Friday night, and it is thought congestion was produced. Her death occurred last Saturday evening. The Butler Herald says Mr. Posey Mc Clendon, of that place, was dangerously stabbed last Tuesday by a negro named Green Scandrett, who is still at large. The Columbus Steamboat Company has increased its capital stock to $50,000 and resolved to put a new boat on the river within fifteen days. Mr. Bctlkb Martin, of Carroll coun ty, has a patch of cotton so heavily fruited “that it is all falling on the ground, and to keep it from rotting he lias decided to stake it and tie the stakes up. The patch js planted in hills three feet apatt.” Columbus is to have a new manufac turing enterprise. Mr. J. L- M. Estes, of Rome, will soon establish a spring mat tress factory. The Columbus Enquirer says: The Heir Found.—In onryeslerday’s issue we mentioned llio fact of Mayor Wilkins having received a letter Inquiring if Mrs. Louis Carl Adolph was living in this city; also, that a large sum of money had been left her by a kinsman of her husband, residing in Germany. Officer Pickett searched and made inquiries throughout the city, but failed to find her. Yesterday it was definitely learned tliat Mrs. Adolph, nee Miss Cora Fincher, is living with her mother in Montgomery. She was informed of the receipt of the St. Louis letter by mail yesterday. There are several parties in the city who wit nessed the marriage of Louis Carl Adolph and Miss Fincher in 1867. Mr. Adolph and wife removed from this city to Co lumbus, Miss., where he died. The Marietta Journal says, dealing in “futures” in Atlanta, last Friday, netted three citizens of that town $3,187. One of them scooped $2,000. The same paper says “Mr. Billie Faller and Mr. George Fuller, left Marietta Tuesday afternoon last pretty gloriously fall of tangle-leg whisky, and when about four miles from town on Camming road, an altercation occurred, when th sc two gray-haired brothers drew tliclr knives and a desperate fight occurred. During the encounter, we learn, Mr. Billie Fuller fell to the ground, having received two deep knife cuts, one on each cheek, which bled profusely. Tbequarrel and fight lasted about one hour, and threats of using deadly weapons deterred those living near by from separating the combatants.” Mr. Benjamin Citanck. a journeyman painter of Tallahassee, tried to runaway with Miss Miltle Wainwright, of Albany, last Monday night, but made a conspicu ous failure of it. He had a fight with the lady’s brother-in-law and got licked, and also broke into Jail on the charge of ob taining the wedding ring under false pre tenses. He broke out next morning by town within a nesday afternoon: ! had got in the habit of running with* 0 f Early county, who moved therein 1853 a poor man, and now owns 20,000 acres of graders left from Mr. Lynch's camp ori'the Macon and Brunswick extension five miles from Atlanta yesterday afternoon, and nineteen the day before. The pay day is on the 15th of the month, and these hands are not satisfied because it is not on the Utr hence, rather than submit they leave, many of them to forage on the savings of other people. This is what supplies our convict camps. ReSENTEXCEI).—Tom Betts, the negro who killed Col. H. J. Moore, near Jones boro a year ago, and who was sentenced to be hung last spring but had Ins case carried to the Supreme Court, was resen tenced by Judge Hillyer in Jonesboro this morning fo be hung on December 21, 1881. He arrived In Atlanta on the noon train to-day for safe keeping. He still proclaims his Innocence. The Constitution of Wednesday night, says “John Seick and family, of South Carolina, arrived in Atlanta yesterday at noon and at 2:50.1eft via the Kennesaw for Forth Worth, Texas. Mr. Seick is a man of about forty-five years, and his family is composed of a wife and thirteen boys. The youngest boy was three years old, while the oldest was twenty." Of the rnmors of the failure of Cohen & Co., cotton brokers, of Savannah, which were in circulation here and elsewhere on Wednesday, Mr. Bacon, one of the members of the Legislature from Chat ham county, said to the local editor of the Constitution: “I am told,” said the re porter, “that you have received a tele gram announcing the failure of Cohen & Co., ot Savannah. Is It true?" “I saw a statement to that effect in one of the Savannah papers,” replied Mr. Bacon, “but I can’t tell much about It. You see the firm was one of the staunchest In the country, and the failure is a general sur prise to everybody. There are three members of the firm, and they have two houses, one In Savannah and one in New York. For years they have been doing a large, safe and successful business, and had the unlimited confidence of every one who knew them. As yet but little is known of the failure, but it is generally thought, I am Informed, that the New York branch got on the wrong side of wheat and cotton. From what informa tion I can gather, I think the Georgia patrons are safe,” and this was about all that could be ascertained. We find the following in the same edition of the same paper: Cummings’ Cotton Exchange Suc cumbs to AN ADVERSE MARKET AND Closes its Doors.—By noon yesterday rumors began to float about tLe streets to the effect that the Atlanta cotton and pro duce exchange, owned and conducted by J. F. Cummings * Sons, was in trouble, and would probably be forced to suspend. Nothing definite could be obtained, how ever, until about five o’clock, when the following notice was posted upon one of the boards in the office: “It Is extremely mortiiying and humiliating to us to say that on account of some ot-our friends not responding to calls for margins, and inability of negotiating loans on real es tate in the city of Atlanta, which had been promised us, we are compelled to tuspend operations for the present. All contracts with us will be closed on the opening to-morrow morning, and balances paid as early as prtcticgble. We hope to resume in a few days. In the meantime out Office will be kept open usZZ). We tope io be able to* pay all we owe.” The posting of this notice created consid erable excitement, as the rumors referred to above had traveled below the current crowd of about'fifty ^opVwal’SSon’cof- Iected in and around the oflfa^aiutiiia eitnaUuu ifuuiscuueu miiu AljOr raing* and his sons, who seemed disposed to give any information within their power. They were very much affected at the suspension of their firm, so much so that at times they could hardly speak. In conversation wiih a Constitution man Major Cummings said: “The writing of the notice on the board was the saddest act of my life. I came to Atlanta with my boys determined to give the rest of my life to establishing a busi ness for myself and for them, and of doing in my humble way wliat I could for the city in which I had cast my future. My business has been successful from the start. I have invested in property here and have attempted to do my part in ad vancing all public enterprises. Oflaie, however, the current lias set against me. Many of my customers were unable to re spond to calls for margins; the markets fluctuated with such force and rapidity that I was unable to keep my balances adjusted properly, and tills evening found that the market had gone so strongly against us that I was forced to suspend, This is about the whole story,” The tone of our Southwestern Georgia exchanges is especially gloomy in regard to the cotton crop. None of them look for-more than a half crop, which will all be in market by November 1st. The Atlanta Constitution reports the failure of C. Kalvannsky, cigar dealer of Athens. Also the serious illness of Mr. John Martin, son of John H. Martin, Esq., the Atlanta correspondent of the Telegraph and Messenger. Senator ’Hill's Affliction—The Atlanta Post-Appeal has the following: Everywhere one goes about the city can be heard the slncerest expressions of sym pathy for Senator Hill In his present afflic tion. Mingled with the profound commis eration which his malady excites are grave apprehensions that the disease may be be yond tbe reach of medical skill, and that the gifted statesman has passed the limits o( Ins usefulness to the State ami country. They are few who wish to believe in such a calamity, but the burden of medical opinion appears to be averse to any hopes of the Senator’s early or complete restora tion to health and all bis powers. A friend ot Senator Hill, who Is supposed to know much of that gentleman's senti ments, is heard to say that “in the event the !ast o^ral'ion performed does not pro duce most favorable results before De cember 1st, Senator Hill is disposed to re sign bis seat in tbe Senate and permit tbe appointment of some one who would be effective in that position." We have heard but one expression upon that point and it is antagonistic to tbe Senator’s retirement for that account. One member of the General Assembly declared that if ten dered, the Governor should not accept the resignation and that he, himself, would vote to keep Mr. Hill in tnat high office, even though deprived entirely of speech and capacity for labor. The same paper has this additional local item: An Appeal reporter learned yes terday that a young man clerking in Captain W. H. Brotliertou’s dry goods store,corner Whitehall and Mitchell, had been arrested for stealing goods from his employer, aud a brisk five minutes’ walk brought tbe pencil pusher to the Captain’s store. Arriving there the reporter found the rush of busiuess going on as usual, but the presence of two police officers in the back part ot tbe store afforded indi cations of an item. Tbe reporter at ouce secured an introduction to M*\ George Marshall Marrable, the young man who was in custody, and finding him commu nicative, proceeded to interview him : “How old are you?” asked the reporter. “Seventeen,” was the reply. “How long hare you been in tbe employment of Captain Brolberton?” “About a month.” “What about these goods that you arc charged with appropriating?” Marrable pointed to a small pile of jewelry. “I took those things yesterday,” be said, “all except that ring with the set.” “What did you do with them?” “I gave them to a woman at No. 12 Collins street, but got them back. Her name is Willie Burton.” “Take anything else?” “Yea, at diflerent times I have taken a pair of plated bracelets, a pair of plated ear-bobs and a lady’s plated breastpin, and was going to give them U> the same wofnan. I have also given her a pair of slippers, a pair of hose aud a silk hand kerchief—all taken out of tbe store. She still has the things I mentioned.” Man-s had induced him to visit No.. 12 Collins street, where he became acquainted with the woman Willie Burton. He bad never been to a house of ill fame until this af fair. Cook was several yearaolder, knew the ropes, aud he had followed his lead. He seemed to feel very badly about it and said to the reporter: “Bad company has done it all—it has ruined me. My advice to young men coming to Atlanta, is to keep out of bad company, and away from bouses of ill-fame. They have been my destruction. I wish you would state this in the Appeal." The discovery of Marrable’s crookedness oc curred in this way: The two women who live at No 12 Collins street entered tbe store a day or two ago and Inquired for Marrable. One of them left* message with the salesman who waited on her to tell Marrable to send her tbe slippers he had promised her. This fact was report ed to Captain Brotlierton by tbe salesman. Yesterday a lady lace-peddler was In the store and asked one of the salesladies if a man stayed, there named Marrable, and what interest he had iu the house ? She sa'd she supposed lie bad an Interest in the house, as he was dressing a woman in her neighborhood in jewelry and other fine things. This led to an investigation. Marrable, on being interrogated, owned up aud made a full confession,, stating tbe fact ssabove reported. The articles stolen by young Marrable are as follows: Gold- filled ring, $3; plain gold-filled ring, $4; plated gent’s watch chain, $5; plated ring with set, $1; plated collar-button with set, 50 cents; three shirt studs, Si; two pearl collar-buttons, 30 cents; one pair plated bracelets, $4, one pair plated earrings, $2. The death of Mrs. Adam Johnston, one of the most estimable apd best known la- Ues of Richmond county, is announced In the Augusta News. The same paper says that ten shares of Langley Factory slock were sold Thursday for $175 per share, the highest point reached by any Southern manufacturing slock. - The president of the company recently bought 1,100 shares at par. We find the following in the Atlanta Post-Appeal. Some of its points seem well taken, aDd eminently deserving the favorable consideration of tbe Senate The House of Representatives yester day signalized its inconsistency in legisla tion by votiug to spend $18,090 or tbe money of tbe people in aid of a scheme to supplant tbe present edition of tbe code with a new revision. The State of Geor gia did not need representation as one of tbe original States at the Yorktown Cen tennial. The State of Georgia was too poor to appropriate $10,000 for a grand illustrative exhibit at the International Colton Exposition of her marvelous re sources. The State of Georgia was iu too desperate jioverty to permit of an at tempt toward building a new capitol. The State of Georgia was too nesr bank ruptcy to adtnitof a pittance to repair tbe present capitol. -These lamentable evi dences of her Imp°cunlosity were adver tised abroad to the world; and yet, on yesterday, tbe same Representatives agreed by solemn vote to expend $18,000 to supply court officers and justices of tbe peace with new and costly editions of the code of Georgia. Comets and codes seem to come in this latitude in coincident pe riods. It is but eight years since tbe code of Georgia was subjected to a most thorough revision at the hands of sqme of iuv competent men ot tLe Stale. Nineteen-twentieths of the contents of that code stand intact today; perhaps more of it, for wo are uot able now to make a close calculation by analysis. Tbe changes made in the other portion by amendment, repeal to demand no w a new edition of the code and tbe purchase of 3,000 copies at $0 per copy. There are very many people in Georgia who will look with disfavor upon this scheme. They will see in it only a bold piece of favoritism to an association of legal gentlemen who have gone to great pains to revise the code in hopes of mak ing money iliereby. After awhile our codes will have to be designated by letters like the comets, and references may then be made from code A to code Z, as occa sion may require. In fact the Legislature is doing a foolish, if not a wrong thing, in passing this code-encouragement appro priation bill. Now is tbe Senate’s chance to show its conservatism. Hawkinsville received 991 bales of cotton last week. Albany has received 2,197 bales since September 1st The Ilawkinsville Dispatch says Mr. Thos. Cowan of that county, ginned 591 pounds of lint out of 1,627 of seed cotton. Also that a grown rattlesnake was killed in a street in that town the other day. We quote these additional items from the Dispatch: The Telfair county man, who, a few ago, was shot through the midriff with a ball from a breech-loading rifle, was in Hawkinsville last Saturday, and was as as well as ever. The ball went entirely through bis body, it is said, and tbe wound healed up In three days. The wound was slmllarto that of President Garfield's. It proves how easily the President might Lave been cured if he liad only had the attention ot a wiregrass Georgia doctor. Last February, Henry Newberry’s wife, colored, living one mile this side of Haynevllle, Houston county, gave birth to two children, one a boy and one a girl, and about the last day of August gave birth to two more, making four births in about seven months. Mr. J. S. Willis, from whom we obtain the above item, will, ir called upon, testify to its coirect- IH'SS. Ox Thursday last, Wilson Brown, col ored, living in this county, brought to town six bales of middling cotton, averag ing 550 pounds. He runs a two-horse farm, and has already picked and ginned seven bales. He owns 200 acrc-s ot land, which he rents to other colored people. He also owns four mules. This freed- man broke in 1874, and started fresh in 1875. While returning from the North, last week, and while on a sleeper between Cincinnati and Chattanooga, General O. C. Home, of Hawkinsville, was robbed of $190, but tbe thieves left Iiiai his watch and enough money to get home on. An Atlanta letter to the Augusta Chronicle says the negroes of the former city are preparing for a grand strike the first of October, in view of the crowd which is expected at the exposition. The Atlanta Post-Appeal says up to Friday afternoon no statement had been prepared of tbe liabilities of J. F. Cum mings & Son, of the Cotton Exchange. Also, that General Gordon has Just bought a Jersey cow, for which he gave $300. Also, that a State road train ran over a child near Graysville, on Friday, and cut off one of its legs. The child is still alive, but not expected to recover. The Columbus Time* notes tbe passage through that city, on Friday, of ninety negroes from Savannah for New Orleans, where they bad been engaged to work In eotton compresses. The Times, also, has this iUm: A dispatch was received yesterday by the directors of the Columbus Steamboat Company from Capt. Heury McCormick, at New Orleans, slating that be bad con summated tbe purchase of a steamboat. The boat is the one which he had iu view when he left here, and Is In every partic ular suitable for tbe navigation of our river. Her name is “Caddo Belle:” and she costs $12,000 delivered at our wharf. She is about 130 feet long, and very light draught. When trimmed, which requires about seventy-five bales of cotton, sbe draws only sixteen inches ot water. The company liar nearly enough money to pay lor her, and what is needed will be raised by Saturday. The steamer will reach this city in about two weeks. Several citizens of Calhoun county fine prairie land. The Rice Crop —The Savannah News has the following inf ormatlcuuuder the above-head; Tbe Satilla aud Altamaha rivers escap ed with hut slight loss. The great Ogee- cbee suffered severely both from washing of banks and from salt water; loss, 50 per cent, of entire crop. There was more or less damage on Savannah river, particu larly those plantations nearest tbe sea coast, many of them not only losing their entire crops, but ikll their houses barnes, and many of their people. Loss, 25 per cent, of crop. The Combabee, Ashepoo, Santee and Cooper rivers all badly salted and will lose all the young rice, besides that cut and on the stubble in aud around Charleston. On Fedee, Waccaiuaw and Black rivers near Georgestown, South Carolina, the tides were higher and salt water extended further than ever before known; the lots is estimated at 50 per cent. Since the storm we have had good weather, and where banks are not broken or rice killed by salt water, the planters are harvesting and saving their crops. We hope the loss will be less than estimated, but It looks now like 30 to 40 per cent, of tbe entire crop of Carolina rice. Under tbe head of “Alleged Pillage and Plunder at Tybee,” tbe Savannah Recorder tells tbe following revolting story: “We mentioned several days a^o that while the storm was devastating Tybee, and while death and destruction were filling the minds of tfao residents on the island with fear and horror, some miser- ble wretches were plundering and rob bing the bouses vacated by the owners and visitors. Wo learned subsequently that a man named Benjamin Haney, a steward for Mr. Edward McVeigh, was manacled and brought up to Savannah from Tybee Island and was lodged in jail on the charge of robbery, of which we made no mention at the time, as we could not believe that a white man could be guilty of such au act, and we refrained from saying anything tor oilier equally good reasons. Yesterday evening, how ever, Haney was brought before a bench of magistrates consisting of Justices El- singer, Isaac Russell and Naugbtin, for examination. A few witnesses were examined and some damaging, tes timony heard against tbe prisoner who was remanded to jail until the after noon at 4 o'clock, when testimony will be again heard. We learn that the property missing, some of wh eh was found iu the possession of Ilaney, amounts to about .$2,000, and consists of diamonds, watches, money and articles of wearing apparel. The evidence against tbo prisoner so far, is to the effect that he broke open a trunk when Mr. Henry Solomon’s house was on fire, and when the burned bodies of Mrs. Wolf, her child and brother were in close proximity, that he had a diamond ridg and a watch, and gave a colored nun named Owens some clothing so that they might be removed to a place of safety. Evidence also was adduced to show that Hauey returned certain articles at the re quest of Mr. D. R. Kennedy. What ad ditional evidence will be brought out this afternoon the examinatiou will alone de termine, and we make no comment until tbe evidence is all in. N. C. Collier, Esq., appears for the State, and J. J. Abrams, E-.q., for the defendant, A Deplorable Occurrence in D ooly yqysTy.—We find the following In tbe last Issue of tbe Americus Recorder: One of tbe saddest deatlis from any cause that it Las ever become our duty as journalist to record is that on Monday last of Mrs. F. T. Rape, tbe wife oyn- and Lis wife bad some hot words over a domestic trouble, during which a scufilc ensued, when Mrs. Rape fell striking a chair or some other furniture, and so injuring some vital part that death immediately followed. We know nothing of the facts except as they have come to us, and that from parties who heard the statement of others. Mr. Rape is impulsive but of generous nature, ot kind heart, with many warm friends in his county, aud we are sure tliat none are more appalled, as none can be so heart-stricken at the terrible result of a moment’s indiscretion. Our informant states that Mr. Rape lias not been arrested, and we can but, hope that there are mollifying ciieumstances surrounding this deplorable event that will relieve tbe previous good name of Mr. Rape from tbe taint of wife murder. Our telegram yesterday, announcing tbe suicide of Mr. R. S. Jeffries, of Atlan ta, at some point In Alabama, seems in volved in some mystery. An Atlanta special to tbe Augusta News says he died there of nervous dyspepsia. TLe Consti tution also notes his death, but docs not say where or how he died. Mr. Jeffries married Miss Gould, an Augusta heiress, and daughter of the late Judge Gould, of that city. The Oglethorpe E< ho has been with drawn from the market. We quote r.s follows from the Echo: Prosperous.—Wo learn that Mr. Hen ry J. Hill, of Wilkes county, has now on hand 10,000 bushels of rust-proof oats. Mr. Hill has 1,000 acres in cotton, for which he will take 100 bales. Social Equality.—A gentleman tells us that sometime since ho had occasion to tako dinner with a prominent white farmer, when he was surprised to see a negro girl take a seat at the tablo with the family. Such conduct is disgusting. Land Trade.—Mr. A. W. Wilkins has sold his valuable plantation InUoosepoud district, containing about 350 acres, to two negroes for 110 bales of cotton, payable in five years. Mr. Wilkins say3 there is no doubt about the purchasers meeting pay ments, as they are now a couple of thou sand dollars ahead of the world. Something Original.'—We learn that tbe other Sunday, after delivering the sacrament at Rev. Lake Brown’s cburcli, two of tbe members got up to leave. Tbe pastor pointing to them said: “That is just like a nigger 1 You got your littlo plecep}f bread and dram and now wants logo borne.” But undismayed tbe de serters moved on. Atlanta, August 30.—I have hoard lately an expression of gratification at the good fortune which has fallen to Governor Colqnltt, General Gordon and their associates. I think St was quite familiarly and confidently said in your sexton that Gordon had no sense. He bas bad at least enough to attend to his own business, keep bis own counsel and come out with money enough to com mand the respect of those who abused him. laic Possible That a remedy made of such common, slmplo plants as Hops, Buchu, Mandrake, Dandelion, etc., make so many and such marvelous and wonderful cures as Hop Bitters do ? It must be, for when old and young, rich and poor, pastor and doc tor, lawyer and editor, all testify to hav ing been cured by them, we must believe and doubt no longer.—Post. rssbloMble Street Costumes lor Oc tober One of the popular fashion papers gives the following description of styles for la dies’ street wear this season: LADIES’ BUOET FAIN CESS DBESS. This dress to adapted to wash woolens and cottons, and also to all the substantial and fancy varieties of silks and woolens in vogue for such robes. It has no excess of length that would make it troublesome for breakfast or domestic wear, and is so beautifully fitted And proportioned that inany ladies will select it for a house dress. Bows upon the front, and folds, ruffles or plaitings about the skirt, with fancy collar and caff facings, will add to its effective ness. ladies' walking costumes. There are four new and stylish costumes, all of which will be employed in making np fabrics adapted to the promenade, the bouse and more ceremonious wear. One of the group will be especially popular for cloths, flannels,camel’s hairs aud soft suit ings generally, in combination with velvet, plush, corduroy and other heavy fabrics. Its skirt to short and narrow—all these cos tumes have skirts of walking length—and its over-dress is in polonaise style. The front drapery is liko a “half-handkerchief” section plaited up at the ends, and to joined in an oblique seain to the body portion, which is like a deep, plain basque. The back drapery to arranged to fall in a cor ner instead of its original square outlines, and the fitting to done in the most superb manner by darts, gores and seams, extra widths being allowed at the extremities of the back seams to fold under and give the requisite fullness. A deep, adjustable shoulder-collar, wiih flar ing ends and handsome, rounding outline, is sewed to a standing collar, with Picca dilly corners, and will be worn in lieu of a wrap about the shoulders when the weather will permit. When two materials are in troduced in the construction, the collar will match the skirt, and very deep cuff- facings of the same will be added to the sleeves. If any trimming be added to tbe skirt, it will bo very narrow; and the drap ery edges will not be over-elaborated, flat bands, braids or stitching being the ntmost of the garnitures admired for them. Another of these costames is like a polo naise in having long, tab-like sides that slope away from tbe termination of the center seam just below the waist-line. In front of these tabs the front forms a double-pointed vest, and between them, at the back, a full, rounding drapery descends upon the skirt. A sash of ribbon is visible between this drapery and the tab at the left side; and large pockets, a deep notched lapel-collar, a standing oollar and wrist- facings are included in the decorative ac cessories, which may contrast with or be like the remainder of the costume. The skirt will often be trimmed with plaits to appear as if it were in kilt style. Another costume has a double-breasted basque, that flares in V shape at the termi nation of the closing and descends in two, doub'e box plaits at the back. The most approved effects of dart and seam are visi ble in the adjustment of this basque, and envelope-shaped pockets rest upon the side-backs. The sleeves are long and may be handsomely finished with shirred and ruffled ornaments overlapped by cuffs, or with any of the various ornamental fancies that come to the mind of the maker. The skirt is gored at the front and sides, and has a fall breadth, over which falls a bouffant drapery effectively arranged to display glimpses of contrast ing fabric. The left Bide of the front-drape ry, after lapping npon the right nnder but tons or ornaments, flares away from it in accordance with the ontline of the basque. Plaitings, ruffles or any style of trimming may be added to the skirt. A little cape, that has fitting darts upon the shoulders the beauty of the costnme for street wear and partially concealing whatever ornama- tion may bo added to the bust for the house. This will be a most stylish costume- model for all kinds of sailings. The materials suited to the fourth and lost of the costumes issued this month, are only limited by tbe number in vogue. It is like a princess dress in general effect, but is composed of a body sewed to a skirt portion. Its waist is fitted with darts in the front and with side-back seams and a center seam at the back. Two pointed draperies cross each other in shawl shape at the left side of the center some distance below the waist-line, and three, deep, finely laid kiit-plaitings cover the baok to tbe same depth, a large sash-bow being tied abovo the npper one. The sleeves to this costume are close and plain, and the neck is finishod with a standing collar.. ladies’ polonaise.

It is donblo-breast- ed, and small buttons will be preferred to large ones for closingit. There are darts in the front, and side-back seams and a center seam at the back. The front dra pery is cross-plaited and is overlaid by a scurf section, also laid np in plaits, which will nsually be of contrasting goods; stripes brocades and momies being used for it in combination with plain silks, satins, wool ens and velvets.

There are three of each this month, and they present a charming diversity of oat- lino and are practically adapted to all kinds of cloaking and wrap materials. One of the cloak models is deep and ample, and has large wing-sleeves that fall elegantly over the arms and sew in with the fronts to the back below the large arms’-eyes. The front is shirred several times acros« below the throat, the shirrings extending but n short distance at each side of the closing and terminating npon the bust. At tbe center of the back is a seam whioli is carved symmetrically to the figure, and the lower portion to shirred several times across aud sewed to the fitted part below the waist-line.

OYEBLAND AND INTEE*STATE MOVEMENT. Fortune’s Favor* to an Irish Lad The wheel of fortune turned most fa vorably for a poor Irish lad, James O’- Gorman, who came to Philadelphia two years ago in search of a fortune. He had seen the advertiseraeut of the Louisiana State Lottery in the newspapers, and the thought occurred to him that he bad bet ter give it a trial. Accordingly, on the 5tli c.f July he sent $1 to 51. A. Dauphin, No. 213 Broadway, New York City, tor the drawing of the 12tb instant. In a few days he received tho ticket No. 23,- 547. He received a telegram at No. 36 N. Delaware avenue, where he to a bar keeper, that tbe ticket had drawn $5,000, and, as he held half of it, that lie was en titled to $2,500. Such a pile of money was Indeed a fortune to him. He ob tained It this week.—Philadelphia Sun day Mercury, July 24. “All the health I enjoy, and even my life I may say, is in consequence of Sim mons’ Liver Regulator.

But, it the disease was treated ra tionally, by arousing the torpid liver with Simmons’ Liver Regulator, tbe dispirited drunkard would find his cravings soon dissipated, and, with cleared bead and ac tive liver, he would not want liquor.

In fact, not withstanding the crop this year is 14.45 per cent, larger, tho gross overland is actually 7.71 per cant, smaller. The reason for this, however, to very apparent. In the first plRce, tost year’s figures were swollen to nnnsnal proportions by tho embargo which the yellow fever raised at Memphis against marketing threngh that city, and which in fact influenced, ’o some extent, the early movement over a large portion of tho district west of the Mississippi. This gave an nnnsnal impetus to supplies sent via St. LonL«, Cairo, etc., which was felt almost all the season through, thongh of coarse to a less degree as it progressed. L st fall Memphis, being healthy, resumed its natu ral position again, so that the southwest ern crop has this year had no speuiul spur driving it away from its usual channels. Furthermore, there has really been an in fluence of a contrary tendency at work, a combination on through rates ever certain railroads making the all-rail roato the more expensive one to a considerable num ber of mills which last year found it tho less expensive. Savannah, Charleston and Norfolk have profited by this diversion, having received a larger proportion of this crop than of many previous ones. • • This year a part of the gain to the At lantic coast has doubtless arisen from a better comparative production thronghout that section. Everywhere acreage increas ed last year, bat in a portion of the Gnlf States and Mississippi Valley the rains in the spring and early summer, and the storms and floods during the fall months (which extended to bat wero less prolonged and severe in tbe Atlantic States), made tho crop of those sections a partial, not a full one for the area planted. 1'hns, for example, we see New Orleans marketed this year only 24.37 per cent, of the total yield, compared with 20.13 per cent, in 1879-80.—[N.

People Who Bought HU Flowers—Be- markable Kcmlnlseeneea.lncliulinc a Story of A Bouquet That FUk Uot From Johnny and After Tying to It • Diamond Bing Sent with Him to JToale Saaallelii Prom Philadelphia Times. “I just dropped Hi like,” said “Bouquet Johnny,” apologetically, as he seated him self yesterday on one of the steps leading to the reportorial eyrie of the Times and fanned himself vigorously with his straw hat. His appearance lia3 changed hut Jit- tie since he Jast visited Philadelphia, ex cept that his shoulders area trifle more rounded and his gait indicates that rheu matism has settled in his off leg. Dur- Ing the thirty odd years Le La3 been en gaged in this busiuess Johnny has visited every American and many European cities aud his varied experiences would fill a big book. Shortly after the war John ny opened the “National Flower Depot,” near Willard’s Hotel, Washington, made money, as he fignratively.expressedit, “by the cart-load!” His raiment at tliat time was positively gorgeous and he iived in a stylish suit of rooms adjoining a noted gambling house oil Pennsylvania avenue. The profits of the “National Depot,” how ever, were not large enough to cover Johnny’s princely prodigality aud the ex penses of lits bosom friend and boon com* panlon, the notorious Beau Hickman. One morning the regular patrons of the depot were astonished to find it closed, while the front door was half covered by a huge sheet of card-board bearing the simple but significant word, “Busted.” Jobuny has never owned a flower store since, although he opened a candy shop In this city in 1879. “My right name to Bower, but I almost forget It at times. You bet, I’ve sold flowers to every promluent man In Amer ica, from Brigham Young to Boss Tweed; but the softest snaps l ever had in the way of customers were fellows who were gone on actresses. Why, it would curl your , hair to know the amouutof money a man S i named Marslon, from New Orleans, spent *3 in flowers for Pauline Markham. He got struck in New York and got me to order $000 worth of flowers in one week. It cost him $200 more iu Philadelphia aud in Baltimore tLe front ot the stage was jammed with bouquets. I followed Mais- ton to Chicago and sold him altogether about $3,000 worth of flowers. Another man followed Miss Neilson clear through to San Francisco and I followed him. He was raasLed on her and I was mashed on him. See ?” The idea of Johnny’s being “mashed,” as lie put it, on the flower- buyer seemed to tickle his fancy greatly and ho smiled and repeated the expres sion several times. A $500 BOUQUET FOR NEILSON. “He was the chap that put up five hun dred dollars for a single bouquet for Neilson. There weie two hundred Mar- sLal Neil rosebuds in ft, and they c >st from seventy-five cents to a dollar apiece. Ob, he was an oyster 1 For over a year I sold two Louquets a day to Jim Fisk and ho paid for them every Monday morning. I went into Danlol Drew’s office one day witL a twenty-five dollar bouquet. Jim Fisk was sitting there aud he bought the flowers, tied a diamond ring to tne bunch with a cigar ribbon and gave me two dollais to take it up to Josle Mans field. Yanderb'lt didn’t know any more about flowers thau lie did about cab bages. Twenty years ago he stood me up for afive-dollar bouquet at Saratoga, and a month afterwards, when I met him ou Broadway and asked him for the money, he gave me fifty cents. Lester Wallack for many years had a button-liole bouquet from me daily. Jolm Brougham and Char lie Thorne are fond of boutonniere, and so was Sothern. During the first engagements of Lydia Thompson’s Uonpe in this country, I frequently sold as many as seventy-five hand bouquets a night. Camilla Dnhnise. a great favorite in the Thompson troupe, got nineteen one even ing, and I bought ’em all back from her maid and sold ’em again in front of the house. Just to show you what flats some men are, wh m the Prince o! Wales was iuNew work a gentleman came out of the Fifth Avenue Hotel and said,‘I must have three caniellas.’ ‘They can’t be had in the city,’ I replied. ‘Get them anywhere you please and never mind the expense,’ he said. I came to Philadelphia that af ternoon aud ucceeded in getting ten ca- melias, for which I paid $10. Tliateven- Ing the gentleman at the Fifth Avenue gave me $20 apiece for three of the carne- iias. I told him they were the only ones to be had for love or money, and, would you believe it, although 1 tried all night to sell the other seven, I couldn't get a quarter apiece for them. OTaER NOTABLE PURCHASERS. “I made $5,000 one winter a-id went to Europe next spring with $1,500 iu my clothes. I got broke in two months and Dau Sickles gavo me $100 to come home on. I used to give him Louquets for nothing after that. I went to Europe again on a racket in 1674. Grant’s son-in-law, Sar- toris, bought about $500 worth of flowers from me in this country. I nerer sold' flowers to Boss Tweed, but when his daughter married she bought $50 worth. Gamblers rarely buy flowers. They are too smart. “I once sold a $10 bouquet to Mrs. John Morrissey, and when I went after the money John paid me, but said I charged too much and kicked me down stairs. Old man Cameron once bought a $10 bouquet from me in Wclcker’s, in Washington, but walked out ol the res taurant and left the flowers lying on the table. Grant never bought flowers. Conklin’ was good for a $5 bouquet every three or four days aud a button-hole bou quet every morning. Bob Ingersoll is lond of flowers and puts up for them lib erally. When Alexander II. Stephens was sick in Washington I had orders to send lihn a bouquet every morning at eight o’clock. Gen.

A dinner party was in progress in the St. Nicholas Hotel, Cincinnati. They were all of excellent social and business reputation. Considerable wine had been drank, and hilarity prevailed, when a man sprang from his seat declaring that his watcti had beeu stolen. Ills companions (excepting one) thought that he was jok ing aud laughed at him; but when he grew load and excited they concluded lie was drunk, and tried to quiet lihn.

A Reward.—It is said that a SL Paul newspaper offers a standing reward of $500 to the first.peison m that city who shall kill a burglar and deliver the corpse to tbe headquarters of the police depart ment, and agrees also to defray tho ex penses of any trial that may tolloX’, as well as to guarantee immunity from any punishment on account of such killing. This shows what the sentiment of St. Paul is on the subject; aud it illustrates like wise tbe necessity for more stringent laws aud severer penalties to ensure protection to society. As laws ought never to be passed which cannot be enforced against popular seutimeut, so all laws which are demanded by public opinion should be promptly enacted and rigidly enforced. It is never safe tor a government to leave to a community the necessity of protecting itself by resorting to lyDch law or bv in fluencing juries iu regularly constituted courts.
