Davenport’* Balm Fi-e*rpvln* Proces*.
In the Times of the 7th Inst., editorial
reference was made to the new preserving
process discovered nnd patent'd by J. W.
Davenport, of Dallas, Texas. In our
columns this morning will bo found an
advorlisement in which the wonderful
nv.rlta of this new I even clou are set forth,
and attested by many of the most scien
tific and prominent men in Texas, who
are reforrod to by permission. The Balm
preserved fruits and vegetables have
boon used and recommended by
largo numbers of gentlemen In
Mississippi, nnd the elements of the Balm
carefully examined by distinguished phy
sicians, who pronounce It free from all In
jurious agents. But the most wonderful
feature of the discovery Is the cheapness
of the process by which fruits, vegetables
anil meats may bo kept perfectly fresh
and sweet for an indeiliilte time.
Mr. 11. Smith Is now in the city to sell
county rights, and he will be glad to show
samples of the Halm Preserves to all who
may desire to see for themselves, He can
be found at A. M. Brannon’s Drug Store,
or at Yonge A Acee’s.
Look at the advertisement, and see the
list of counties Mr. Smith has the dispo
sition of.

The Extinguisher hose of which several
sections were bursted at the last lire, has
been mended nnd the whole number of
sections, 9in all, aro in good repair. The
repairing has been done entirely at the
expense of the Hook and Ladder Company,
and they hope that It will stand the tost
of many future llres. The Extinguisher
hose is now composed of 3 long and 2
nhort sections which is directly attached
to the engine; 4other sections in good re
pair are in readiness to replace such as
may at any future time burst.
The hose now used by the Extinguisher
has been In operation about four years
and is necessarily beginning to show the
efforts of time. New hose for It will cost
about $150.00, which they will buy when
the old hose gives entirely out, but not
before. We thought this machine was a
part of the apparatus of the City Fire
Department and If It Is ought not the city
to pa y these little rep dr bills ?

THE STEAMER “HOPE."
A BRIDE FOR TlJft GtINRY JORDAN.”
ANOTHER I!BAUTINl!L LITTLES STEAMER
To BK BROUGHT FROM LOUISVILLE, KY.
NEGOTIATIONS GOING FORWARD FOR HER
PURCHASE.
Having heard for several days that the
bountiful patronage extended on all sides
to the Ind' pendent steamer, theG. Gunby
Jordan, warranted the immediate pur
chase of another little steamer to lake Ike
surplu a trade, wo yesterday found out tho
following facts: That already negotia
tions have been carried on between Capt.
Henry Moore, of tho “Jordan,” and par
ties In Louisville, arid he finds out tlmt he
can get the steamer “Hope”—which Ims
been 1 lunched from tho docks but a few
weeks.
Tbo subscriptions for her purchase we
learn have been made up entirely from
PLANTERS ALONG THE RIVER.
The steamer has received tho name
“Hope,” which, If she is bought and
brought to our river can be changed to
suit our locality, though her present
name Is by no means an Inappropriate
one,
HER DIMENSIONS.
Tho "Hope" is 108 feet long and 21 feet
wide and Ims two 19 inch cylinders 8 feet
long. She is very nearly the size of the
Wylly and runs lightly. If her purchase
is effected, Charley Marks, now tho first
mate on theG. Gunby G ordan, will
PROCEED To LOUISVILLE
select her crow and bring her as he did
the Jordan, around by tlm Gulf, and on
her trip around, she wilt no doubt bring
a large crowd of Columbus excursionists
This little steamer has been promised
all
THE ORANGE TRADE
from the wealthy planters in the vicinity
of, and having their plantations on the
Chipol i river, one of the tributaries of tho
Apalachicola. By reason of her size she
will bo üble to navigate along by the
groves themselves and save tho planters
tho expense and trouble of shipping their
oranges a long way by cumbrous barges
and 11 its, which they aro compelled to do
at present. Those planters also promise
thonew boat full freight charges which is
50c. on every box.
Having received ho much encourage
ment from tho wide awake and thrifty
planters along the river, we have no
doubt but that the subscriptions have all
been received by Captain Moore by this
time, and that less than sixty days from
this dute she like the Jordan,may be float
ing triumphantly on the broad bosom ol
the Chattahoochee.
The lliiseni.ini sneial Club.
The Rosemont Club met on Thursday
evening last at the residence of Mrs. Co
mer on Rose Hill. In spite of the threat
ening weather, there wus quite a full at
tendance. The evening, as usual, passed
mo-t pleasantly. One of the most inter
esting features was a half hour’s talk by
the kind hostess herself, who entertained
the club with a most interesting account
of what she saw and beard in her travels
in the old world. She did not finish the
entire tour in this single talk, but only
carried tier hearers over the sea, through
England and France and le'.t them
among the lakes of Switzerland until
next time tho Club meets. The veritable
M—-tt O’B—nee Mrs. Jarley was present,
and enlivened the evening with some of
his inimitable songs.
We omitted st the time, unintentional
ly, to notice a charming tea party given
by Mrs. Comer to the members of the
Club some two weeks ago. It was a most
delightful affair. This excellent lady is
very fond of young people, and to those
who have the honor of her acqu liutanee,
her beautiful home is always jpp ui.
The C ub will meet at her house again
in August. *

At last one Federal official Ims been

Jones, lie has been Postmaster at Newil

lie said, according to Doiui I’iult's Capi
tal ofSunday:
Nkwdlum, 0., July l, 1877.
Mr. P. M. Oml. Key and Tyner:
I received tlm Preside ill’s order con
cerning laing P. M, 1 consider this very
small olziness; but you want ray office
and you don’t want my jiw Now I have
been t*. M. here nigh on to 1(1 years, and
all lhat time I ain’t made my suit. Ncwd-
I mil is a town without much pop .and llnl
pop. is of the ignorant sort. They don't
read nor rile worth a cuss, and half the
time when l In* male come chased in ahead
of lime by Injuns and oilier wil I var
mints they are no letters and no papers,on
ly dry goods— sich as whisky, and tobacco.
I’ll.it don’t pay. Bat NVwdlum is hell on
voiin, and every year 1 get in tiers from
tlie Suite Central Committee to fetch
doun the poll* wim so many voter, and
you bet I do, lor I get pad for that. S ’
you can take your domed old offlt and
wipe your head with it, for theyr not an
other cuss in this neck of woods that can
read or rile worth a dam, and wouldn’t
have it if be could. Agin, I’m ordered
to be in my oflla during b /.ness hours, and
I coud do that and siarve I spose. True,
I rood keep the oflis in my hat, and be in
it niost of the lime, if there was anything
to put ill it, buiiher ain't. Hoping this
may meet with your approbation and Hud
you and your family well, I reimine yours

At latest accounts Jones was the only
Postmaster who has sent in his resigna

know whit will become of things political

made up of office-holders!

A “lightning rod’’ peddler was
struck by lightning and knocked out
of his wagon, in Washington county
on Tuesday last. Ho we learn from

Rev. Dewit Talmage said recently in one
of his sermons:
One of the greatest trials of the newspa
per profession is that its members are com
pelled to s* e more of the shams of the world
ihan any other profesgio'n Thiough every
newspaper office, day alter day, go all the
weaknesses of the world; all the vanities
that want to be puffed: all the revenges that
want to he reaped; all the mistakes that
want to be corrected; all tnc dull speakers
who want to he thought eloquent; all the
meanness that wants to get its wares no
ticed gratis in the ed torial columns in order
to save thetax of theadvertismg columns; all
the men who want to he set right who were
never light; all the cracked braine I philoso
phers With stories as long as their hair, and
as gloomy as their finger nails in mourning
because bereft of soap—all the bores who
come to stay five minutes, but talk five
hours.
Through the editorial and reportorial
rooms, ail the follies and shams of the
wotld are seen day after day and the temp

Yesterday by invitation of Gen Harrison, Dr
Wuitehead, Dr Houry, Messrs L B Cowan, It G
tfiggius, Dr Bowtusr, alderman Baum. Captain
Shearer, and tne oitv editor of the Jerald, re
paired to the Washington Restaurant fur the
purpose of testing some vegetables and meat
preserved by a process lately patented by Dr J
W Davenport, oi Dallas. Texas, aud tho right of
which Gen Harrison has p uvbased for the
tftate* of Mississippi, Alabama and oe&rgia.
The test was perfectly satisla. tory. as set forth
iu the statement below, which would have been
signed by all whom we have named had it been
presented to them:
Vicksburg, May 2Cth, 1877.
We, the under*igned, do hereby certify t*at
we have this day fully tested Davenport's Balm
Preserving Process by mating greeu corn turns
tees and a bird, so preserved, aud found the
corn as iresn and sweet as if just pluck and and
boiled. Tho tomatoes, waich were aten raw
with vin* gar. were as fresh ahd luscious as if
justlrom tho vino, and tue bird was delicious,
iresh aud juicy.

The corn tested was put up last July, tho toma
to*** two or three weeks a*o, aud the bird was a
.at papabotlo, ordinarily almost impossible to
pres rve Of th s process, the Dadas, Texas,
Commercial, of the loth says:
T -day, the writer visited Dr. Davenport’s res
idence aud re-msp cted some of the materials
which have been preserved by tho pr*>cess. Tne
demonstration of its success ar<- as complete as
the eNidene**B of the sense ot sight, touch and
ta-*te c*u and make them Green corn, plucked
now nearly two years .-go, is as fresh, nutritious
and as aweo a* if tne shucks had just b* en takeu
from it. Tomatoes are. b. virtue of the preser
vative, always ripe and luscious Asparagus
can* well spoil after subjection to the Doctor’s
treatment. And passing from the vegetable
kingdom to the animal, the experiment*—per
haps W 6 should say triumphw-are startling. What
can the reader say t > oysters six months out of
their shells, but smelling and tasting like they
w re just delivered from the grappling hooi.s
that dislodged them from their beds? Mutton is
a hard thong to keep, eep cia'ly iu warm weath
er, but Dr. Davenport, having fresh mutton
once, can have it always, if he likes. At least he
has some that is just as fresh aud juicy now as
the butcher delivered it s x months ago Beef
seems to tke kindly to >he i rocess, The most
critical tests have been applied, and the meat
invariably comes out fresh as a daisy.
