The comparative table again shows a decrease in cotton receipts as compared with the corresponding week of last year. But the shipments of cotton to Europe just now are very large, and this may for a time, counteract any up ward tendency in prices caused by a falling off in receipts at our ports. The Paris correspondent of the Lon don Times says the chief interest Thursday’s vote on impeachment was whether the government would be sup ported by a majority of the Left. On this point all reasonable expectations have been fulfi.led. The order of the S3ay-to the effect that the Cham ber hav ing refused to impeach, the minister had no right to censure them, was re jected by a vote of 225 to 187. Senator Davis, of West Virginia, re cently made a speech in the United States Senate, calling attention to the importance of fostering our agricultur al industries. He gave statistics to ishow the extent of oar farm produc tions, and remarked upon the little that the government has done for the benefit of this great industry. ' Euro pean statesmen have an appreciation of the needs qf agriculture, and are giv ing it a prominent place in their plans for national development, while in this country, where it is the chief source of wealth, it is almost wholly ignored by the government. 1 . !-©-< Buried Gold.—It is reported that $80,000 m gold lies buried in the streams and pools about Washington. The Garetto rays: ■ It is said that groat excitement has been prevailed in the neighborhood of ■ Beulah church concerning some Con federate gold thought to be iu the bot tom of the old baptizing poel was once in tho run of the creek, and is now a good long body oi water. Some most incredible ’ tales are being tola about eighty thonsaud dollars being sunk in the mud at the bottom. One fellow says he dived down the ofher day and got a ten-dollar gold piece. They are talking about pumping ail the water one of the pool with a steam pump, and ians in some things, he was with him on others.” “Whenever my voice can have influence to promote your pros perity, you can rely upon me as upon one of yoar noble and own distinguish ed sous.” This tender, memory of his grand mother, “every hour present in his bieast,” explains a great many things in the career of Blaine. It accounts for his fervent devotion to the Sonth, hith erto; and if it wasn’t the old woman who brought him down on his knees before Mulligan, of Boston, when he wanted to get hold of certain trouble some documents affecting his reputation as speaker, in the matter of those Lit tle Bock Railroad bonds, it must at lease litve been her who made him vote aud speak against the Chinese. Find ing bun once fairly in Virginia, she got him into a mood in which he was ready to declare himself a first-class rebel. If Tilden or Thurman are quietly imagin ing they are going to carry the solid South, they might as well begin to un derstand what aud where Mr. Blaine is. Seriously, did this Presidential “bee iu his bonnet” ever lead any man to make quite sucb a fool of himself as Mr- Blaine is doing?

Yakoob Khan, the son of Ali, who is said to be something of a soldier, is a discreet one, perhaps, aud it is now reported that he has entered or is about to enter into negotiation with tho British Goverment—which, of course, while they lead to peace, will also establish Yakoob m poder undis puted with the strong alliance of the English, most probable, in his favor as against any possible Russian influence or aggression hereafter, Tiiat will se cure the frontier defense of the English possessions in the east. Meantime the poor Afghan Ambassadors who accom panied the late Ameer to Tuskend in search of Russian sympathy and aid have, it is reported under instructions from the Czar, taken their leave, with out a message to their new sovereign, Yakoob. Evidently Russia means to take no responsibility as to Afghan suc cession. certainly a triumph for the State of Goergia that cannot be over estimated. There are three corporations continent of America that are 4 per cent, bonds, and they are United S lutes Government, the city of Boston and the State of Georgia. It is gratifying to note; too, that the bonds are being received universally, as far as heard from, as currency. There can be no question of the constitution ality of this issue of tho bonds, and they will prove a great convenience to the general public. They enlarge our currency without inflating it. • The bonds are bonds iu the severest sense of the word,-and if there is anything illegal in them the illegality consists, as Mr. Garrard has aptly said, “in the smallness of the type and the size of the paper.” We hope, therefore, to see tlum freely used throughout the State to facilitate barter and trade. Iu any event, however, the experiment of four per cents has proved a success, and Georgia's credit goes up to. the ver- y highest point. And it drives in the wedge that will just split our enormous interest account square half in two!— Atlanta Constitution. A DISASTROUS FLOOD. Czedcgin, a city of about one hundred thousand inhabitants, in Hungary, Eu rope, was visited by a disastrous flood on the 12th inst. The city is built on the banks of the river Theisse, at the point where this river unites with the river Maros. The river is confined to its channel by high bunks, and^the city is really below the level of the water. The melting of the snows probably caused the rapid rise of the river, which car ried away the banks and inundated the town. The telegrams says eighty thousand people were thrown out of houses and fully three hundred were destroyed. A vast amount of property was destroyed. The government- of Austria sent re lief to the sufferers, and probably other governments will do the same. *-*-* A MAGNIFICENT CAVE. Pima County*, Arizona, is in posses sion of a wonderful subterranean vault, which bids fair to eclipse the celebrated Mammoth Cave of Kentucky or the grand cavern Fort Stanton, New Mex ico, in which are found lakes, rivulets an.l large rooms containing many curi ous things. Explorers of tho New Mexico cave found, one mile from the entrance, a lake to which they found no bottom, and to puss over which a small boat was constructed and put thereon. The' rooms, many of them, are de scribed as beautiful beyond deseriptiou, From the ceilings thousands of stalac tites are suspended the rays from the burning torches giving to them the ap pearance of so many mansions lined with diamonds aud precious stones. — Arizo na Miner. “Diphtheria,” says the Loudon En gineer, “is held by the best authori ties to be an old disease. It is said that thic Empress Josephine died of ifc- and it is not improbable that what some years ago in country districts, more especially in Ireland, was called putrid fever, was nothing but diphthe ria. Diphtheria first attracted notice when, a few years since, it broke out at Boulogne and ravaged the north of France and the sonth of England. It was then known as ‘Boulogne sore throat.’ ” one we nat The tallest story of th e tyrranny of red iape comes . from Naples, Italy. The family of one of its prosperous merchants drove out into the country and were hurled over a precipice, the fa ther, mother, aud four sons and daugh ters being killed. When the mangled bodies were finally recovered the au thorities refused to admit them to the city unless th- y paid the general duty on fresh meat, as the list of dulies, they said, made no provision for '"human meat.” The relatives objeted, Augusta Eveniug News: A hen at the South Carolina railroad yard, in this city, took a notion a few days since to lay her eggs in the tender box on Bob Hutibuid’s switch engine, aud, notwith standing that veterau’s -views to the contrary, she persisted in getting her work so farladvanced that it was deemed prudent to let her “lay.” After depos iting, as she thought the usual comple ment of fresh eggs, iii order to go into the spring chicken business, she final ly settled down to her work, and is now daily setting on her nest.

Japan Wateb Torture.—It is impos sible to imagine a more cruel device than what is known as the water torture in Japan; the originators of which re lied upon the torments of thirst rs more powerful than mere corporeal suffering. The prisoner is for several days confied to an extremely salt diet, without rice or water. When two or three days have passed, the craving for water becomes incessant, and the sufferings of the tor tured man approach the bounds of in sanity. Efforts are tbeD made to ob tain confession by subjecting the suffers ee to the agonies endured by Tantalus when in the midst of the infernal lake whose waters he could not touch. On all sides the thirst-distracted prisoner beholds water—water for which he would sacrifice everything—hut which he cannot touch except upon the condi tions of confession, FARMER'S SALARY sr says: “What doss a and thus answers iie receives Many of this class hardly be classed as farmers, standard of farming as a business.
