The Fluent of All. Two car-loads of fine horses will be here to-night, purchased by Messrs, Cecil & Thrasher expressly for this market.

Mr. Cecil is an extensive stock raiser in Kentucky, and purchases on the very best terms. Mr. Thrasher and his sons receive and sell the stock here and elsewhere; parties purchasing from them need have no fears of frauds. Sir. John Thrasher can be found at the stable at all times, where pur chasers can be accommodated. Give him a call. Mr. Thrasher has been to Ken tucky, and aided in selecting this lot, and ho knows just what is wanted. When we see the stock we will tell you all about them. Noiufthlng New and Sweet. We have received within the last week, from Messrs. Ludden & Bates’ great Southern Music House, Savannah, Oa., a genuine “Southern Gem,’A for the sale of which, in all the Southern States, they are the sole and exclusive agents. And while other pianos may be sold in the South by other agents as the Southern Gem, aud even though some of them prove to be good instruments, we are au thorised to say that none of them are the genuine Southern Gem. The Southern Gem is manufactured by J. P. Hide, of Now York; and the mere fact that other manufacturers aud dealers in musical in struments are adopting the name, is the best advertisement to the high aud wide spread reputation that the genuine South era Gem, made by J. P. Hale, aud sold by Ludden & Bates, has acquired throughout the Southern States. It is the reputation that has induced others to adopt the name; and for fear that the name is all that has been adopted, we advise our friends to purchase from thoso who have heretofore sold the instruments that have given such general and complete satisfaction, and has made for the manufacturer such an envia ble reputation. We have no hesitancy in saving the one they sent us is far superior to any instrument in this place, claimed to l>o Southern Gems, and purchased from other parties. Wdo ni ,t say this with a view to disparage other inaii u.nSi. uor to give the genuine a reputation beyond its true merit. The tone of this instru ment is perfectly equalized, and exceed ingly brilliant. We have never heard one so brilliant and full, with a sweeter tone. It is a great blessing to our unfortunate country aud our music-loving people that instruments of such wonderful excellence are manufactured at s ch prices that even the poor may purchase, mnl add one other pleasure to the sweets of home. Persons wishing to purchase any kind of musical instruments, by applying to this office, will be furnished with price lists, with description of the instrument desired, and all necessary information or assistance they may need in obtaining it. Give us a call and we will procure you an instrument at astonishingly low prices.

It can only be ascertained by calling at the cash store of Briggs, Jelks & Cos., what this experienced merchant did while so journing in the Eastern cities. There every one can see his immense purchases and excellent selections. His long expe rience as a merchant fully qualities him to make purchases to meet the tastes and wants of all classes of customers. This house makes cash purchases and cash sales, and they have no estimate to make for bad debts, and, of course, can afford to sell cheaper than those who take these risks. The buisy capital that makes small, ftrtelo anti frvqurut profits will never fail, but always succeed. Their fall and winter stock is large and varied, embrac ing every variety of staple and fancy dry goods, boots, shoes, hats caps, etc., etc., and also a large am} well-selected assort ment of family groceries, drugs, medi cines, oils, paints, etc., all fresh, and of the purest and best quality. Go with your money and produce to Briggs, Jelks A- Co’s., for it is the place to get good bar gains. We have this to say to the ladies: They have the prettiest what you call ’tuns you ever saw. Call and see them, winter is coming. Plaid Grenadines, black and colors, at reduced ices, at Bbioos, Jelks A Go's. o Grass Cloth, at reduced prices, at Bbioos, Jelks A Co’s. [New York Times' Vienna Letter.] SLAPPING A BARON. Some of lh Peculiarities of Blooded Austrians* An affair between an American and an Austrian officer has been causing much gossip here in certain circles. The secret has been kept thus far from the general public. General C., sent here on an of ficial mission to make some enquiries re lating to the Exposition, with a view to that of 1876, entered the Exposition build ing one evening last week, and as he came to the rotunda some American ladies, who knew him, came to put themselves under his protection. They said that three Aus trian officers had been following them for two hours, and hail been rude and inso lent to them. The General tried to pass the matter off, remembering the free habits of the Continent, where ladies are seen without an escort, when the eldest of the ladies took him one side and said that the younger ladies had not told all, and that the officers had tapped the younger ladies upon their shoulders with their canes. The General was angry then, and asked which of them had Committed this indig nity. One was pointed out, and he turned to face the group, thinking they would see their mistake arid go away. Instead of doing so, however, the three officers seated themselves, and the one who had used his cane raised his glass to his eye and stared at the General, as much as to say, “and what are you going to do about it ?” The look was regarded as a piece of insolence, and was so intended. Gen. C. stepped toward the party, and the officer indicated rose to meet him, when the General slapped his face. The blow was not returned, but the police soon came, and the officer offered his card. General C. refused to take it, because he would have no further dispute about the ladies, but gave bis own name and referred to the American Minister for liis address. The officer struck was an Austrian Baron. The next morning his friend waited upon Gen. C., who indicated the name of his friend, and there was a meeting. The friend was also a gallant General, and on hearing the case he stated that his princi pal was ready to give any satisfaction re quired, but first he wished to hear their side of the story. The Austrians admitted that they had followed the ladies, not for two, but for four hours; that they were mistaken in their character, and that they were about to go away when General C. came up. The latter’s friend remarked that they had c6nfessed to an outrage upon a party of American ladies, for which they had been justly punished, and that they had no right to make such mistakes. Thev pleaded the manners of the Conti- nent. The responso was that, whatever the manners of the Continent might be, American ladies visiting the Exposition must be protected from insult, and that he himself not only justified his friend—since they had openly confessed their error and acknowledged the insult—hilt should him self act in the same way if appealed to under like circumstances. Besides, Gen eral C. held au official position, aud duel ing was not countenanced in our country. It was evident that the officers felt that they were in the w rong, for they at once said that this view of the case changed matters a little, and they would consult the Baron about it. At the next meeting this reason was accepted as a good one, but still the blow could not be excused, for the Baron would lose caste without a shot at his assailant. Then, said the Gen eral, the ladies are out of the question; I shall never consent to a meeting about them; but my friend will be at the Exposi tion building every evening to meet the Ba ron and to receive his provocation upon oth er grounds. But I must tell you, he con tinued, that we have laid this matter be fore the American Minister, and intend to cany it before your Government in order to test the question whether or not Ameri can ladies visiting the exposition are to lie insulted with impunity, or subjected to the loose code of manners prevailing here, as you assert This view of the matter did not please them, and they very can didly admitted that they did not want to make a scandal about tin affair in which they wore clearly in the wrong, and pro posed to arrange it by tukingto the Baron an apology from Gen. 0. That was not admitted, because the first offence came from the Boron, but if lie would apologize for his conduct. General C. would express lus regirtu that he found it necessary to give the blow. The matte* vested there, and meantime, I learn, it was laid befoic the Secretary of War. What the result was I cannot say, but at the next meeting the above arrangement was agreed upon, and the affair amicably settled. It is probable the Baron was ordered not to in sist, or since the Americans were deter mined to push the matter to a scandal, which would not have been to the credit of Austria, it was likely he was advised to let the matter drop.
