I The young Prince Napolean ls.said to be dangerously ill at Ohiselhurst. His illness is attributed to an irregular and dissipated life _ . . y • * —iff ‘ Senator Gordon will deliver the com : • oration at the Mississippi ’.University, Mr. Jefferson Davis having declined the invitation because of the drecarious condition of his health. A relentless and bloody war between .the tribe of Moses, the Chief indicted for the Porkins murder, and other In dian tribes, and the United States, is regarded as inevitable. The trouble arose from a warrant for Moses’ arrest, 'which has been isued. and which his ’tribe and friends will resist. 1 ' General Butler has presented liis in dividual report on the Potter investi gation: ' He holds that the appointment ! of Supreme Court. Judges on the com- 'mission to decide.the Presidential elec- tion, was a grnve wrong which should not be repeated; that Hayes was coun ted in through a series of gross 'and 'unjustifiable frauds and irregularities ‘which cannot be too strongly reproba ’ted, and that if Hayes carried Lonisana, 'Packard was elected Governor of that State. . GIN HOUSE BURKED. On Sunday might, the 2nd iusfc., the gin house of Mr. W. F. Spann, of Wrb- l a £or county, with all of his crop of oot- •fon seed, was destroyed by fire. The gin house and screw were both 'new, and most approved pattern. It is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. The Monroe Advertiser states that at almost every farm on one of the roads 'from Forsyth for ten miles, there were large piles of cotton seed, stable manure and vegetable mould which had been prepared for fertiling land. =- This is a step in the right direction. The plague in Aslraclian has disap peared, though much disease prevails. It is stated that five hundred pe s-us died out of one hundred and eighteen thousand souls, between October and 'February, in the two pestilential dis tricts of Astrachan. This is a smaller mortality than usual from cholera, ’diphtheria, small-pox or typhus. I I , V | A Little has been said of late regarding the tunnel between France and England, ’but preparation for the work contin ues. Seventy thousand five hundred and seventy-one soundings have taken place within six hundred feet of the French coast, with a view ascertaining the form and geological nature of the ground, and 3,276 specimens have been Obtained. Similar soundings have also ‘taken place on the English side. i The Governor of South Carolina is burdened with letters from natives of the State who emigrated West and Southwest, and are anxious to return to it. Mai y complain bitteily that they have been disappointed in their plans hnfl expectations, and make earnest ap peals for help or a promise of work on their arrival. The Ne>rs and Courier of Charleston asks whether the Legisla ture would not be justified in providing for the return of all suffering self-exiled hitizefts of South Carolina. INTELLIGENT MONKEYS. 1 ‘Monkey ,” says an Arabic proverb, “can talk perfectly well if they choose to do so, but they are far too clever to let us into their secret. Well they know that, were they to speak, they would be made to work; so they wisely hold their tougnes.”. If certain strange stories that have recently reached onr hemis phere from the distant realm of Siam be fonaded npon fact the ‘-incomplete man”, as some German physiologists deveribe onr respected ancestors, whose foudliuess for apples' is considered to have exercised considerable influence upon the destinies of humanity, is made to work in many several ways, despite his affected ignorance of articu late Inngnage. His prudent science uvails aim naught in the domain of the White Elephant; and there are—at least so we are assure! by an old Anstraiu resident at the Siamese Court—few professions which he may not he taught to practice frith amazing skill and ad miral precision. He is trained to fish for crabs with his tail, as comical a pur suit as can well be imaginable, except, perhaps, for the worthy and inteligent ape engaged in it, who sometimes gets a “bite" from a monster crab that he is totally unable to land, and falls a vic tim to the superior weight of his Can cer Ferox, who' drags him into the wa ter, drowns, and finally devours him. The Siamese ape is'also stated to be in great request among native merchants as a cashier in their counting houses. Vast quantities of base coin obtained circulation in Siam, and the faculty of disc: ini nation bi tween good money and bad would appear to he possessed by these gifted monkeys in such an extm- ordinarj d gree of development that no mere human being a however carefully trained, can compete witn them. The cashier ape meditatively puts into his mi util each coin presehted to him in bnsines payments, and tests it with grave deliberation. If it be genuine he hands it over to his master. If it be counterfeit he sets it down on the coun ter before him with a solemn grimace of displeasure. His method of testing is regarded in commercial circles as in fallible, and, as a matter of fact, his de cision is uniformly accepted by all par ties interested in the transaction. But though a true and invaluable servant to his own particular master, it seems that his moral cliaractor is not altogether ir reproachable. His deplorable passion fruit renders him the terror of Siamese market gardeners, who find brute force inadequate to restrain him from visiting their orchards, and therefore have re course to divers and sundry stratagems, oue of which is reported to be as sne- ful as it is certaiuly ingenuous. A spe cially active and enterprising ape is cap- tn«ed and carefully sewed up in the 'skin of a tiger cat. He is then turned loose in the orchard of his predilection, and straightway clambers, as well as he may, incumbered bv an unfamiliar gar ment, into the branches of a fruit tree among the unclothed fellows. Scarcely do these latter set eyes upon him, with all his feline terrors thick upon him, when a dreadful panic strikes them, and and they scramble away with piercing screeches and agonized ebatterings. tfever more do they return to an orch ard which they believe to be infested by the deadliest enemy of their race. The startling intelligence is rapidly dis seminated throughout the monkey so ciety of the neighborhood, and the wi ly gardener enjoys an absolute im a uni- tv from depredation forever afterward, for the very thought of a tiger cat ap pals the simian soul, and doubtless the tale “tho awful apparition in Ting tse’s orchard ’ is handed down in quadrnma- nous families generation to genera tion. INQUIRIES. Diligent inquiries are being made throughout the Southern States, re- pecting the sales of guano as compared with the sales of last year. These in quiries came from cotton spinners and speculators, who have reasons for wish ing to know. They understand, as planters ought to understand that the liberal or restricted use of gnano will materially affect the prices of cotton. Their correspondents are cotton buyers, and they seek information of gnano dealers, roil road agents, warehouse men, and planters. It may be confi dently expected that they will obtain and communicate the best and fullest iuformation to be had on the subject. With them it is simply a matter of bus iness, and the reticence of dealers and buyers who understand the object of their quest, will fail to baffle them. Moreover the dealers will hesitate to tell The Plague.—From the reports of American diplomatic agents on the Southern Russian pestilence, it appears that the disease is the true virulent plague, and not typns, as stated by Russian authorities. Onr government is particularly cautioned to look ont for impoited rags and similar substances likely to bring the plagne to this coun try. New Advertisements. A PROCLAMATION. Geobgia:—By Alfred H. Colquitt, Governer of said State. Whereas. Official information hrs been received at this Department that on the night of the 24th of Febnary last the barn of H. N. Feagin, in the Coun ty of Houston, was deliberately set on fire and consumed,—thereby distroying their sales, because it is their policy to I horses, mules, corn, etc., I have thought Captain Wallace, of the steamship General Lyon, reports, that on the 19 th Ultimo, wfien forty miles from Algeria, lie sighted the ship Kentuckian flying "signals of distress, and on approaching her saw the Captain pacing the quarter keck very' much excited. On inquiring the cause, the Captain stated that his crew had mutinied and were starving. ■Investigation showed neither to be the aase.and that the Captain was crazy. ‘Later advices report that the Kentuck ian put into Iviza, a Mediterranean port, pa the 3d inst., with the Captain dead. ** The yoang Prince Louis Napolean him written a letter to Rouher, the Bo- napartiafc leader in France, explaining his reasons for participating with his British friends in the Zulu campaign; and the motive, which is that of grati- =tnde to England for affording him an hgylhm.is an honorable one. The yonng m$i talks as if the proposed ex- periencP in the field wifi be a part of lii3 education for the great trust he txpepti to ’band in France, and he •evidently participates in his father’s fa talist views. Ronher and his friends have given the Freneh Republic only It few yenrs to Kve, and they may pos- glblv be right, 'bnt tho Republicans ^e'ehi fo have a pretty strong hold on France, and, if they can keep the Radi cals down, the Prince Imperial may ■Sever be crowned Napolrau FT, SMALL FRUIT IN GARDENS. But few people seem to know the val ue of small fruits to a family when grown in their own gardens. Yon commence with strawberries; they con tinue about a month. You pick perhaps six to twelve quarts per day. You have them on your table as desserts, if yon please at noon, and your tea-table is loaded with them at evening, and yon want a little else bni your bread and butter. Your family consume in one way or another afloat eight quarts a pay, and while they last medioiues foi bo dily ailments are not required, a sa quart of straw bersies daily will generally dis pel all ordinary diseases not permanent ly settled in the system, After stawber- ries, come raspberres, to continue about three weeks; then we have blackberries where the climate is not too cold for the cultivated varieties; then the currants ripen, which remain with ns till the ear ly grapes mature; and taking the season through, any family with half an acre of gronnd in a garden can grow small fruits that make a country home de- iightful, and at the same time hundreds of dollars can he saved in the supply of the table, as the writer knows from for ty years’ experience.—Ex. magnify their business. This they do for th4 purpose of convincing relactant buyers that everybody else is buying, and that laggards will be left in the lurch. For the comfort of these laggards it may be said that there are men in every neighborhood who do not use commer cial fertilizers, and they are generally not afraid of comparisons. The habit of doing bnsmess rather for rivalry tliaD for gain would be considered foolish in some conutries. And yet men do some times buy fi-r;i|izers just to make as good crops as other men who buy them. This month of March will determine whether or not the Southern planters have moral pluck enough to give the cotton market an effective boost. They have simply to let gnano alone. Adam Ufsqn. THE FORTY-SIXm CONGRESS. A neiv United States Senate com mences its existence on Tuesday. James T. Farley, Democrat, succeeds Sargent, Republican, of California; O. H. Platt, Republican, succeeds Buiuum, Democrat, of Connecticut; W.

The Senate will consist of forty-two Democrats, thirty-three Radicals, and one Independent.. New Hampshire will bo represented by bnt one. Senator until June, when the vacancy will be filled by the election of a Radical. Wudleigh’s term being out. It is very hard to get at the eTact po litical complexion of the new Honse of Representatives, as the doctors differ. The whole number of members is two hundred and ninety-three, and they are divided by tho Expre s Almanac and the Tribune Almanac as follows: Expnss. Tribune. Democrats 146 147 Independent Democrats..2 2 Republicans 127 128 Greenback Democrats 7 7 Greenback Republicans.. .5 5 Vacancies 6 4 293 293 There are only four vacancies—those from California—so far as we have heard, so that the Tribune is probably right. Cheap Obaxges.—New York is glut ted with oranges, which have seldom, if ever, been as cheap in that maiket as they are now. The crop in Florida and abroad has been unusually large. The Valencia crop alone was over 2,000,000 cases, 800,000,000 and Is principally with foreign oranges that the market is glutted, for the Florida oranges, being more highly esteemed and generally received in a riper and better condition, are in much better demand, and conse quently sold at higher prices as fast as they arrive. In New York Florida oranges are now selling at abont five dollars a box, while ^Valencia or Messi na fruit brings only about two dollars and a half per box. In a letter to the Ohio Republican Committee, Secretary Sherman lays down a platform for Wa party, wherein occurs the statement that we “ are now rapily reducing the interest of the pub lic debt,” True in so far as .refunding is concerned, bnt the debt itself was in creased nearly $350,009 during the last month, and if the ^Republican Congress men had carried their wish in connec tion with pension arrearages, it would havo been increased not less than $18- €00,000 during the present year. Un der such circumstances, it will become any Republican to do any “pointing with pride” to the alledged redaction of the interest aeeonnt In Jacksonville, on Tnesday lust one negro drew a revolver and fired i point blank at another. The press says the ball struck him fairly in the centre of the forehead, but instead of penetra- ing, flattened against tfle skull. SOMETHING ABOUT MUSIC. The little poem, ‘Kitty King,’ whose words were written by the late Mr. A. R. "Watson, and which were copied throughout the Union, and also in a number of the leading periodicals of England, will soon be set to rnnsio by Mrs. Joseph Palmer, of Ferry. Tb»_ words of the poem are exquisite, and have always been admired wherever read, and they were among the first pieces which brought the anthor prom inently before the public. Mrs. Palm er is the composer of a beautiful song, ‘A Face, -which was dedicated to en ac complished young lady of Atlanta, who is well known in Macon. The coming song will be looked for with interest by all who know Mr. Watson and the .friends cf the composer.—Telegraph mid Messenger. A Bad Showing.—In Brooklyn, JT.
