A FAMILY PAPER.
On the first of January the Weekly Consti
tutionalist will be greatly enlarged. It will
be printed upon fine paper, and contain eight
pages of reading matter. One page will be
specially devoted to original and selected ar
ticles upon Literary and Agricultural topics.
Other pages will embrace Telegrams, Corres
pondence, Editorials and Miscellaneous News
Items, carefully compiled from the daily edi
tions. No pains will be spared to make it the
most readable Weekly in Georgia, and a com
pendium of everything progressing in Political,
Religions, Planting, Scientific, Commercial and
Manufacturing communities. Its size will be
convenient for binding. Our terms—s 300 per
annum—place it within the reach of all.
Dr. Bernhardt. —Wo paid a visit to Dr.
Bernhardt’s reception room, at the Planters’
Hotel, on yesterday, and -found him busily en
gaged with some of our most worthy people of
both sexes. His skill, dexterity and gentle
manly demeanor win the confidence of all, and
wo have yet to see the patient who is not thor
oughly satisfied with the Doctor and his inge
nious invention. No mere newspaper puff
could add to the testimonials he has received
from our most distinguished medical men and
gentlemen well known to the country at large.
Wc, therefore, do not mean to puff him. We
simply state reliable facts, and can safely leave
his accomplishments and instruments to their
own peculiar and undoubted merit. Ilia stay
}'n our city will be brief. All'who havfc defec
tive glasses or vision, should call upon nim and
satisfy themselves. No price is charged for
consultation and no effort made to secure a
purchase beyond the recognized ethics of the
profession.
Irish Whisky. —Messrs. Crump, Davison &
Co. have an article of Irish whisky, specially
brought over from the “ould sod ” hy a gal
lant gentleman of this city. Wc have sampled
and find it excellent—superb. Those who,
like ourselves, take whisky medicinally, should
take none but the best. Those who take it be
cause they must have it, should take a first rate
article, if they wish a new lease of life. We
know of a case of consumption cured by the
Irish whisky now under discussion, and an
egg-nog or hot toddy night-cap cannot be had
in perfection with any other spirit. Forswear
corn and china-berry decoctions, buy the real
creature. It cau be had nt the store of Crump,
Davison & Co.
W. Henry Warren & Co.—This firm is one
of the most deserving aud onterprisiug to be
found in Augusta. It does nothing in a small
way. Liberal advances aro made upon pro
duce, and every business transaction conducted
on high principles. As our planters are now
preparing for the next year’s crop, it is emi
nently necessary for them to secure fertilizers.
Such as they require can bo fouud with W.
Henry Warren & Co.
P. H. LiSGDOs, Esq. —Wo have been honor
ed with a visit from Mr. P. H. Langdou, the
efficient general superintendent of the great
through railroad line to the North. Mr. Lang
don has most liboral views concerning all mo
mentous enterprises, and the traveling public
are considerably indebted to him for many im
provements and accommodations upon the
lines he so ably aud honorably represents.
Holiday Presents. —Among the establish
ments which should not be forgotten by seek
ers after Christmas gilts, that of Mosher, Thom
as & Scbaub demands attention. From their
advertisement in this day’s paper, it will be
seen that they have mauy articles of a useful
and ornamental kind. Give them a call.
Fire.—Last night, at about half-pastll o’clock,
the market bell sounded the alarm for fire,
which wc suppose was caused by the burn
ing of a building in Hamburg, as a bright light
was visible in that direction, with much the ap
pearance of a house on fire.
Arhest of a Swisdleb. —Oil Tucs day night
Lieut. Hendricks and Officer Coates arrested an
individual named Patrick Brannan, on the
charge of attempting to pass off a number of
what is generally known as “whist counters”
—a sort of metal composition made to resem
ble United Slates gold coin, and well calculated
to deceive the ignorant. It appears that Bran
nan made the acquaintance of a well-known
colored man named Samuel Dickerson, whom
he endeavored to entrap into a speculation
scheme lor buying cotton, Ac., in the country,
paying for it in this spurious coin. Sam, how
ever, disclosed the affair to the Mayor, who
gave Ihe matter into the hands of Lieut. Hen
dricks.—Char. Courier, YHh.
Fike ox Boyce’s Wharf.— Yesterday, at
eleven o’clock, a fire broke out in the
Button sample room of the office of Messrs.
aßLhcrt Mure & Co., Boyce’s Wharf, and soon
’jvs)tod to the adjoining offices. The offices of
Shackelford & Ffaser, Robert Mure &
Co., TV>. &T. G. Budd, Holmes & Stoney, R.
T. WaivT.fr, and the wharf office, were badly
damaged. The property, we learned, belonged
to Messrs. John Fraser & Co. The flames bid
fair at one time to extend to the cotton yard,
which, if they had not been prevented by the
energy of our fire department, would have con
sumed a vast amount of cotton and rice.
[Charleston News, 13 th.
A Useful Hint.—A subscriber at West Far
mingdale writes us as follows : “ A tin tube,
made like a syphon, driven into the vent of a
barrel of wine or cider, and the other inserted
into a vial of water, will prevent the air from
entering the barrel, while the gas escapes
through the water. Make the barre} otherwise
tight. When the cider or wine is done work
ing, the water in tlie bottle will cease bubbling.
It requires no filling up and there is no loss. 1
have tried it.” We will only add that it can be
made by any tin plate worker, and when once
made can always be kept for future use.
[Exchange,
A fashionable, but ignorant lady, desirous of
purchasing a watch, was shown a very beautiful
one, the shop-keeper remarking that it went
thirty-six hours. “ What, in one day V she
asked.
Our Mother.
At the gateway of one of our beautiful rural
cemeteries a large funeral was just entering, as
our attention was called to a very remarkable
sight. The bier was resting on the shoulders
ol four tall, noble-looking men in the prime of
life. One of these bearers was a judge on the
bench of the Supreme Court of the nation. A
■second was one of the most eminent and ac
complished lawyers whom this or any other
country can boast. A third was a very distin
guished divine, whoso pen is a great power.
$1- ih a fourth was the President of the Benate
ot his State. And these remarkable men were
brothers . They stood strong in life ; but were
cowed and silent and solemn, as if the bier was
too heavy for their strength. Very slowly and
carefully they trod, as ifthe sleeper should not
feel tbe motion. And who was on the bier, so
carefully and tenderly borne ? It was their
own mother! Never did I see a grief more re
verent, or respect more profound. It seemed
to me that a mother’s cold heart must also throb
in the coffin. A nobler sight, or a more beauti
ful tribute of love, I never saw. They were all,
doubtless, going back in memory to theye early
childhood, and to the loving care of this best
of all earthly friends. They well knew they,
the sons of a poor village pastor, could
never have been trained and educated and fitted
to occupy their stations without a very extraor
dinary mother. They well knew that they
owed more to her than to all other human agen
cies. No shoulders but theirs must bear the
precious dust to the grave-yard ; no hands but
theirs must deposit it in its last resting place!
That body had been inhabited by one of the
sweetest, most cheerful and brilliant minds that
ever inhabited an earthly tabernacle. It had
long, too, been the temple of tbe Holy Ghost.
What that lovey woman had done to make her
husband’s ministry useful and profitable ; what
she had done in training daughters that are or
naments to their sex; what she had done to
make these distinguished men what they are—
who can tell? What has not such a mother
accomplished who has given snch an influence
to tbe world ? I never see one of these sons,
but ray thoughts go back to the home of their
childhood ; and I can hardly keep my eyes from
filling with tears as I think of that mother.
How many men start upon the stage of life, and
feel they are great, and are filling great spheres
of usefulness, who are really dwarfs in compari
son with such a character! When that mother
went down to the very brink of the grave
that she might bring up life, as her children
were born—as she toiled nnseen and unpraised
through all their training—what an influence
was she preparing to leave upon the world after
she should be numbered with the dead ! We
may develop ourselves, and think we have
doue well if we can achieve anything in life,
when, most likely, if anything valued in us
is developed, we owe it chiefly to our
patient, meek unnoticed mothe'. She forms
the character which we develop. And it is
much owing to ignorance of the laws of influ
ence that prevents the mother from receiving
that love and respect she deserves.
Heaven will be just where we are not; and I
can find uo words in whten to expiess my
preciation of such a friend. Some few who
have early lost their mother through death, or
the loss of reason, come out useful aud respec
table men; but they would, probably, have been
much more so had they enjoyed her love and
care. They may well morn the loss all their
days. The names of the mothers of Moses, of
Samuel, Timothy, and other eminent men, are
recorded ; and so are the names of the mothers
of the wicked kings generally recorded, as if
to tie them to the disgrace of their sons.
O mother ! amid all your anxieties and labors
be assured that the time is coming when your
name and image will fill the chambers oi the
memories ofyour children as noother can. You
are garnering up love, respect and veneration,
which will gather around your coffin, if not be
fore. You will grow in the hearts of your chil
dren as long as they live.
O sou of the good mother! remember that
she hath spared nothing the human heart could
yield for thy good. Let thy love aud gratitude
and reverence flow back upon her; and if her hair
is becoming silvered with age, remember that
thy opportunities to minister to her comfort
a-e every day becomiug fewer and fewer. God
help thee to cheer her!

New Use for Calomel—Doctoring Fruit
Tref.s. —A gentleman of this city, who is both
inquisitive and acquisitive when he thinks he
can acquire knowledge that will benefit man
kind, was lately in Saratoga county, and was
there shown an apple tree in fine healthy condi
tion which had been ill, subjected to treatment
with calomel and thoroughly cured. This tree
was afllictcd with insects, which were destroy
ing it and rendering it unproductive. A hole
was bored into the body of the tree nearly
through the sap, and two grains of calomel in
serted. As soon as this calomel was taken up
by the sap, the vermin on the tree died, aid it
began to bear fruit and has done so for three
years, to the entire satisfaction of the owner.
Wo are told that sulphur may be mixed with
the calomel and produce a good effect... This
is a fact worth knowing, and the fruit
growers of Western New York may profit by
it. It may not be new to them, but it is to us.
Ilomoepathists and Tliompsonlans may object
to the calomel treatment, but if they do not
like it they may find among the sugar pills, or
lobelia and red pepper a substitute. Any way
is good that will preserve the trees and secure
good crops of .l'rult. — Rochester Union.
The Washington correspondent oi the Chica
go Times writes as follows :
Negroes in the Galleries.— Both Houses
assembled nt noon, and fairly commenced the
work*of locrirtkUic4i. The galleries were well
filled with spectators. In the ladies’ galllery of
the Senate there was quite a large number of
elegantly-dressed ladles ; but tbe feature that at
once struck the spectator on entering the gal
leries of either House, was the great number of
negroes present. There were certainly more
negroes than white people in the galleries of
both Houses. These were not the honest, in
dustrious colored people of the city. You
would no more sec that class of negroes flick
ing to the Capitol than you would see the hon
est, industrious laboring white men and their
wives, who never go, for the simple reason that
they can not afford to leave their work in order
to dance attendance upon Congress week after
week, as these negroes do. These negroes,
however,are the flash darkies and their women,
who scorn to work, and who continue, by
thieving, burglary and other disreputable prac
tices, to keep themselves in idleness. There
are thousands of such negroes here.
The King of Aquapira, Africa, “ a man and a
brother,” though a king, died lately—probably
from the iudigostibility of cold missionary—
yet we have seen no notice taken of the cir
cumstance by Congress. We have known Con
gress to adjourn for very many less things than
this, why should it not pay appropriate honors
to the late king’s memory. He was black, ho
was a Radical—in tbe missionary and fat pick
aninny line, and a king. If unmanly prejudices
are to"govern our action hereafter let us know
it.
How to Cook a Beefsteak —The following
were the rules adopted hy the celebrated “ Beef
steak Club,” started in England in 1734 :
Pound well your meat until the fibres break ;
Be sure that nest you have, to broil the steak,
Good coal in plenty ; nor ft moment leave,
But turn it over this way and then that.
The lean should be quite rare—not so tbe fat.
The platter now and then the juice receive,
Put on your butter, place it on your meat,
Salt, pepper, turn it over, serve and eat.
