The Charleston Opera House.— I The
Charleston News is informed that the pro
prietor of the “ Adger Building” has
agreed to give up, for the purpose of build
ing an opera house, nearly two-thirds of
the area of that immense building, includ
ing an entrance of fifteen feet en King
street. The value of the?* portion of the
building to be devoted to this object, Tor
renting purposes, is estimated at $20,000.
In addition to which, lie is willing to ex
pend the sum of $20,000 cash, making S4O;-
000. ' The cost of the proposed opera house
will be $30,000, the value of that portion
of the building to be taken for this object
is $20,000, making $50,000, of which amount
the projector is willing to assume $40,000,
as above, provided that the citizens, mer
chants and business men contribute the
balance, viz: SIO,OOO, to be paid on the
completion of the opera house, say about
first of November next.
The plan of the opera house will com
bine the best features of Wallack’s Theatre
ou Broadway, and of the Fifth Avenue
Opera House, New York ; following main
ly the plan of the latter, which is the gem
of all. the small theatres in this country.
The opera house will contain orchestra
chairs, parquette, balcony seats, dress cir
cle, family circle and gallery, with a hand
some proscenium and four proscenium
boxes. The ceiling and walls will be
handsomely frescoed and decorated. There
will lie an elegant drop curtain and stock
scenery, &c , &c., making it altogether, by
far, the most attractive little theatre in the
whole South. Its capacity will be from
ten to twelve hundred scats.
Steel-Capped Rails. —This invention
is beginning to attract the attention of
railway authorities, promising, as it does,
to interpose an effectual chock to the nu
merous accidents which result from broken
rails. The inveo*“*’ “>• « «o-
c yu-<m*-« , 11 . 1., has recently arranged with
the Cleveland Iron Company for the man
ufacture of 7,000 tons, to lie iaiddown upon
the Western roads. In experimental appli
cation to a portion of the New York Cen
tral, this rail lias had a trial of two years,
and has stood the test effectually. The
rails have endured without injury all the
extremes of heat and cold, and thus far ap
pear amply to justify their claim to be con
sidered the safest and most durable yet in
vented. We welcome the application of
any discovery which tends to diminish the
insecurity of travel; and as Mr. Booth’s
rail promises to do this, we commend it to
the attention of those interested, and hope
before long to hear that it is in process of
manufacture at every rolling-mill in the
country.
How to Wash Wool. —As the time for
shearing sheep and washing wool is near
at hand, the following receipt for washing
wool will doubtless be of interest to many
of our readers. It is from an authoritative
source, and merits trial:
“ Take one ounce borax, one ounce car
bonate of amonia, one pound and a quarter
of sal soda, two and a half pounds of salt.
Put into twenty-five gallons of water.—
Then till your kettle two-tliirds full of the
liquid, and heat it until you can barely
hold your hand in it, and keep.it at that
temperature. Put in three or four pounds
of wool, and let it remain from ten to fifteen
minutes. Then skim it out with a stick,
letting the liquor run back into the kettle.
Then put it in a tub and rince with two or
three waters till clean. Fill up the kettle
as before until you have your wool washed.
Then put to dry. Handle the wool with
a stick, both in the kettle and tub, if you
want to have it in good condition, and not
with your hands.”
Thanks. —On yesterday morning, a
smiling frcedman entered our sanctum
and quietly placed on the table thereof a
bulky package. Upon close examination
of this mysterious bundle, we discovered
it Ip contain a gigantic ham—a ham worthy
of the praise of editors and other imperial
personages. Examining still further, we
found a modest label, informing us that
our friend, W. T. Butt, who officiates with
Messrs. Horton & Walton, was the gener
ous donor. We return him our choicest
benediction, and, if he has any more hams
of the same description, the whole town
should besiege him. We do not say that
everybody in town will get hams as cheap
as we got the monster before us, but Hor
ton & Walton will be reasonable and Mr.
Butt will satisfy all comers that their
money shall not be spent in vain.
Bank Notes Not go Be Counterfeit
ed. —Gco-'T. Jones, an engraver, of Cin
cinnati, has perfected and patented a sys
tem of printing bank notes, which, it is
said, defies counterfeiting. He prints on
unsized paper, which is well known to take
the clearest and sharpest impressions, and
then proceeds to apply mechanically a siz
ing perfected by him, which, having been
set by subjection to a heat of 200 degrees,
is henceforth insoluble and irremovable
without destroying the impression beneath
it, and thus leaving the paper nearly white
and wholly illegible. The colors, being
wisely chosen, cannot be photographed,
but are japanned, as it were, and laugh at
the most ingenious and skillful efforts to
transfer, which can be removed only by
effacing or destroying them.
Columbia anH Augusta Railroad.—
The trains on this road will enter the city
to-morrow.
Recorder's Court. —Recorder Crump
had a full meeting yesterday of violators
of the famous Eighteenth Section of the
General Ordinance of the city.
The first couple forward .to dance attend
ance to his call consisted of Emanuel Hun
ter and Milligan Smith (colored), drayman
and ’bus driver, respectively, whose vehi
cles had collided on the street, causing a
collision of the sable Jehus, His Honor
charged them $5 and costs, each, for the
disorderly manner in which the affair was
conducted. .
The next case was that of Daniel Kelly,
who was assessed $5 and costs for resisting
a police officer in the discharge of his duty.
Daniel came to thi*>just judgmOt by a too
free use of the cup that inebriates.
The levee concluded with the appearance
of two Grecian benders—ardent spirits
—who had engaged in a somewhat too ani
mated discussion of the powers of num
bers. Janies Galgan and Mitchell Donell
could not agree as to the relative' force of
“ five” and “eight,” lienee a fight, hence a
rumpus, and then a case for the Recorder.
Each of these Augusta citizens was fined
$5 and costs.
Preserving the Balance. —A corres
pondent of the Independence Beige remarks
that, while some inventors are always at
work devising murderous weapons, others
keep the balance by planning defensive ad
justments. He compares this thrust-and
parry business to a steeple-chase the last
round of which is never run. For instance,
as a set-off to Dreyse’s needle-gun, now
comes M. Paul Baudet, and submits to the
French Minister of War a method of con
verting soldiers’ knapsacks into ball-proof
shields. He plates them with steel, and
the soldier holds his knapsack before him
when bullets are flying. The tin can and
wooden bowl, which form a part of the
French soldier’s kit, are also converted into
shields by being plated with steel on the
exposed parts of their surface. Thus the
soldier has a chance of escaping many bul
lets, and, should the proposed plan prove a
success, somebody will have to invent a
gun that will drive bullets through steel
clad pots and pans.
Sunday in Paris.— lt is announced in
most of the French papers that the princi
pal shops in Paris will henceforth be closed,
on Sunday. Tins important social reform
is not the result of a religious movement,
but has been brought about by the same
kind of agency which, in England, has in
troduced the Saturday half holiday. The
Society of the Employes de Commerce in
form the public that, with few exceptions,
all the linen-drapers, venders of ready-made
apparel, silk mercers, and hosiers of Paris
have consented to close their shops on
Sundays, and the employees “ appeal to the
good will of the public to aid them in
making the measure general.”
Muttal Like Insurance Companies.—
A New York letter of Tuesday says:
“ There are two signs of coming opposi
tions to all life insurance companies, which,
under the plea of ‘ mutual ’ draw numerous
members to their concern, but, neverthe
less, manage their business as that of a
close corporation. The Mutual Life In
surance Company, of New York, the largest
in the city, held an-eleetion of directors to
day, and for the first time in the history of
the constitution, there was an opposition
ticket. It was not successful, simply be
cause the matter had not been canvassed
before hand. Only this morning advertise
ments calling upon policy-holders to exer
cise their right to vote appeared in the
daily papers, but too late to have any prac
tical effect. The movement is significant,
however, showing that the halcyon days of.
mutual insurance comiranies are approach
ing to their end.”
The Him’ CLpn will give
their second hop Tuesday night, the 15th.
Subscribers can gef their tickets from the
committee. Omnibuses will leave the
Globe corner at 8%, p. m. Fare each way,
25 cents.
Edwin Booth, the distinguished trage
dian, was married at Long Branch. N. J.,
on Monday last, to Miss Mary McVicker,
who, during the past season, has sustained
the part of leading lady at his theatre.
Richmond County Agricultural So
ciety.—The meeting of this Society yes
terday, on the Sand Hills, was, we learn,
well attended. But for some cause, Mr.
Lewis, who was to have delivered an ad
dress, was not present.
Exchange Saloon. —Mr. John C. Boh
ler, superintendent of this saloon, 140
Broad street, will aceept our thanks for
the superior “ Bicrc Robee,” scut to our
office yesterday. The Exchange is now
fitted up on the European plan.
Magistrate’s Court. —One or two un
important cases were disposed of in Justice
Ells’ Court yesterday, to the satisfaction of
all concerned.
Enormous Coal Deposit. —General J.
T. Wilder, of Rockford Iron Works, was in
the city yesterday for a short imc. He in
forms ns that the miners in his coal miues
are now at work upon' a deposit of coal
which exceeds in thickness anything ever
known in the world. An air course driven
across the bed shows it to be over one
hundred feet thick! This is more than
twice the thickness of the largest beds of
anthracite coal in Pennsylvania.
[Knoxville Press and Herald, June 16.
Ciiors. —The North Georgia Citizen says:
“Wheat is fast ripening now, aud there
being bin little rust ou the blade, it is
generally out of all danger. The crop in
this section will be very large. We would
advise onr country friends not to be hasty
in selling. The Western crop may not be
so good, however much speculators may
exaggerate. Corn is doing well enough,
and with good seasons, old Cherokee Geor
gia will have her barns crammed.”

The ENTIRE CAPITAL OF THIS COMPANY has been furnished by citizens of Vir
ginia and Georgia.
It is estimated that over TEN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS are now annually sent North for
LIFE INSURANCE, every dollar of which takes so much from Southern vitality. Henceforth
let us keep our investments at. home, and we will again assert and maintain our supremacy. This
BRANCH OFFICE oilers all inducements for Lite Insurance of a perfect Home Office, with
these advantages : The Capitol is furnished, the expense of commencing operations has been
incurred, the success, beyond perad venture, is established, and the whole Capital and Assets of
the Home Company stand committed to sustain it.
The entire management of the Piedmont is in the hands of Southern men, and its aim is to
sustain Southern interests. Why, then, should Southern men place their money and the Inter
ests of their wives and children in the hands of Northern men, who, you know, do not love you, and
who have proved that they do not desire your prosperity, and WHOSE CHARTERS FOR BID THE
INVESTMENT OK ONE CENT FOR YOUR BENEFIT?
THE PIEDMONT is not only a tborough'y Southern Company, but pledges itself to invest
all funds accruing in Georgia, within the State, under the direction ot Georgia gentlemen, in
whose integrity you must have entire confidence.
THE PIEDMONT gives 87}£ per cent- of net profits to her Policy holders ; issues Gold Poli
cies to those who prefer to pay in Gold, or at Gold standard ; has already declared 40 per cent,
dividend on all of its Life Policies, and, in short, offers all advantages that Southern men could
ask. We, therefore, confidently appeal to Southern men to sustain an established and perma
nent institution ot their own, and we cannot donbt the results.
THE PIEDMONT claims to be equal in the privileges and benefits granted its patrons, to any
other Company, surpassed by none, and superior to many, and only requests parties wishing to in
sure not to do so until thev have examined the merits of this established Southern Company.
Call on our Ageuts for information. Active, reliable and energetic Agents wanted.
