Periodicals.— The Southern Farm qnd
Home for July is an excellent number.—
Very recently, two prizes were offered by
the proprietors of this magazine for the
best original story and poem relating to
rural life. Mr. Frank A. Nisbet, of
Oswichee, Ala., won them both.
The old Southern Cultivator about holds
its own, and that is saying a good deal
when the competition has become so great
and progressive. Georgia should be proud
of supporting two such first class agricul
tural magazines as the Farm and Home and
Cultivator.
The XlXth Century for July is “ red hot”
and no mistake. Gov. Perry has another
instalment of “ reminiscences. He tells
us what he knows about the late James L.
Pettigru iu an airy, gossiping and preten
tious sort of way, which is very readable
If not very profound. Hon. Isaac W.
Haync contributes a review of Gov. Perry’s
“ Ileminiscences." It is scorching, but parlia
mentary. There is a good deal of wind let
out of the ex-Govcrnor’s vanity-bladder
and a great deal of interesting information
vouchsafed. This article of Mr. Hayne’s
is a most notable production and should
be read far and wide. Elzey Hay writes
charmingly and affectionately of tie beau
tiful character and works of Eugenie de
Guerin. Judge Longstreet, having quit
politics for the nonce, furnishes the public
with a tremendous theological controversy
which ought to make Satan tremble. There
are several other good things In the XlXth
Century, but our space forbids their men
tion. We will merely say, in conclusion,
that this magazine’s weak points are its
serial stories an l its poetry, so-called.
The Old Guard for July is admirable.—
We give a specimen of its quality in this
dav’s paper. Every true Democrat ought
to subscribe to this magazine which never
wearies of fighting the battles of the true
political faith.

Bloom and Brier—A Southern romance,
by William Falconer. Published by Joe!
White, Montgomery, Ala., and Claxton,
Remsen & Haffleflnger, 819 Market street,
Philadelphia.
This novel, if it can be caiied a novel, is
manifestly the production of a man of cul
ture, who lacks, however, as he himself
confesses, the artistic skill and experience
necessary to the production of a genuine
work of fiction. The author, in the guise
of romance, unburdens himself of many
thoughts appertaining to Southern politics
before, during and since the war. He
seems to have been a Whig prior to 1860 ;
au opponent of secession afterward; aud
his present sentiments are evidently co
incidental with the aspirations of such of
his countrymen as despair of the Republic
and hope Grant will assume the imperial
purple. No doubt many persons will read
this book more as a curiosity than as a
romance, aud, while there is much to pro
voke controversy, there is little to offend
the partisans of either side. The book is
dedicated to Hon. Henry W. Hilliard, and
for sale by Thomas Richards & Sous.

Bathing in the Canal!—A portion of
the youths in the Southern portion of the
city do not seem to be aware that it is a
violation of a city ordinance to bath in the
canal. Friday afternoon the police made a
descent upon a number of them, who, to
avoid arrest, scampered off iu a nude
state, leaving their apparel on the banks.
The police captured the abandoned cloth
ing and deposited their trophies at the po
lice office. Yesterday morning the offend
ing urchins came forward to claim their
clothing, and were brought before the Re
corder, and a fine of $5 and costs entered
against them. Other youths in the city, in
the habit of violating this ordinance, should
take warning. Boys under fifteen years
of age are allowed to bath in the river,
from McCartan to Marbury streets, during
the day, except on Sunday.

Oh for an iceberg or two at control!
Oh for a vale which at midday the dew cumbers !

Oh for a little one-story thermometer,

Oh for a turn of its dreaded cold shoulder!
Oh what a comfort an ague would be!
Oh for a grotto to typify heaven,
Scooped in the rock under cataract vast!
Oh for a winter of discontent even!
Oh for wet blankets judiciously cast!
Ob for a soda-fount spouting up boldly
From every hot lamp-post against the hot
sky!
Ob for proud maiden to look on me coldly.
Freezing my soul with a glance of her eye!
Then oh for a draught from a enp of “ cold
pizen!”
And oh lor a resting place in the cold grave !
With a bath in the Styx, where the thick shadow
lies on
And deepens the chill of its dark-running
wave!
The Great Fire at Constantinople.
ENGLISH ACCOUNT OF THE CONFLAGRATION
—PETROLEUM IN LIQUID FLAME AND EX
PLOSION.
The Liverpool. Post, speaking of the great
fire, its origin and progress, says: “In ad
dition to the particulars of this terrible dis
aster communicated by telegraph we are
enabled, by the'kindne.-s of a Liverpool
merchant, to add the following details from
a special supplement of a Constantinople
paper
The disaster originated in the quarter of
Validechesme, below the Tasini, where,
about 2, p. m., a fire broke out in a small
wooden house. A strong northeast wind
was blowing at the time, and, fanned by it,
the flames spread in a few rnintes to the ad
joining houses, engulfing the whole and
rolling on in the line of the wind like a tor
rent of liquid fire. In little more time than
we take to tell it the entire quarter down
into the valley was ablaze, scores of houses
being fired'at once by the dense showers of
sparks am! burning fragments of wood,
cotton and everything else the wind could
scatter far and wide. To this latter cause
has been owing the rapidity and ultimate
extent of the calamity. At an early hour
some dozen of the squirts—miscalled fire
engines—used by the Tolumbajees had col
lected at various points in the line and
around the fringe of the fire, bnt, they were,
of course, useless. Even where water was
obtainable their feeble jets were everywhere
powerless to check the tide of flame, and
merely sufficed, im a few instances, where
several of them were concentrated on one
stone house, to save it from total destruc
tion.
About five o’clock the wind slightly
shifted to the eastward, and it soon be
came evident that the south side of the
main street of Pera must share the ruin
which was fast being consummated on the
north. Though most of the houses were
of stone, and were latterly protected by
iron doors and window shutters, the clouds*
of live embers speedily Ignited their roofs,
and from about a couple of hundred yards
below the Taxim the street on both sides
was a double wall of fire. About 5, p. m.,
the clouds of blazing fragments from Ka
loundji-kalouk and the houses in Rue Ha
mal-bashi had settled in such masses on
the roof of the British Embassy as 1o melt
the lead sheeting, and, penetrating through
this to the wood work, ended by firing the
latter all along the northern face. The
roof at length took fire, and half an hour
later the whole upper part of the building
was ablaze. Thirty minutes later the en
tire pile was a prey to the flames beyond
chance of salvation.
Late in the afternoon a strong party of
sailors and marines from her Majesty’s ship
Antelope had been summoned up, and un
der the command of Lieutenant Lascelles,
did all that was then possible with the
means at their disposal—first, to master
the flames, aud failing in that, to rescue
the valuable contents of the building. So
rapidly, however, did the fire spread over
the house and down from floor to floor till
the basement was reached that little except
the archives in the chancellory and the gov
ernment plate could be saved. From at
tics to cellar, tse whole building was gut
ted—books, furniture, works of art and a
valuable collection of Oriental manuscripts
(belonging to Mr. Hughes, how absent in
England), all failing a prey to the destroy
er. The private loss to the Ambassador,
Mr. Barron, and Count Pisaui is said to be
very great. The last named gentleman
especially, in his anxiety to protect the ar
chives, neglected his own room and its
contents, and so lost a very valuable col
lection of historical and diplomatic papers,
the fruit of nearly a life time’s compilation.
Two powerful London made fire engines
were attached to the establishment, bnt
when drawn out of their long undisturbed
shelter, it was found that the nose and noz
zles were damaged, and though there was
water in abundance, little or no use could
therefore be made of either engine.
Shortly after 7 o’clock, Lady Elliot, ac
companied by her daughter and tiie women
servants of the establishment, took shelter
on board the Antelope, whither they were
followed about an hour after by the Ambas
sador, Mr. Barron, and the other secreta
ries).
The offices, however, escaped unscathed,
and even the clock over 'the gateway,
though blistered by the heat of the houses
burned in front, never stopped, and con
tinues to report “mean time” while we
write—proof enough that the heat there
abouts was not overwhelming. The fine
cypress and other trees iq the garden and
in front of the palace have, nevertheless,
been more or less destroyed ; and, in fact,
what from its isolation, wide extending
boundary walls and internal solidity of
construction should have been the safest
building in Constantinople, has suffered as
much as if it bad iwjssessed none of the ele
ments of protection.
At an early hour of the evening the
Grand Vizier, the Ministers of War and
Police and several other high functionaries
had hastened to the scene of the disaster,
but it was soon apparent that nothing could
have been done to arrest its progress. In
deed, once the fire had made good its
ground the combined fire brigades of Lon
don and Paris would have been powerless
to check it. Its extent and tremendous
volume simply defy description, and would
equally have defied every human effort to
limit its ravages except by the wholesale
demolition of everything in its course.
What added greatly to the force and
rapid spread of the calamity was the large
stock of petroleum in .the shops of the nu
merous bascate. As these in turn caught
fire tkle liquid flames carried irresistible
destruction to the adjoining houses, and in
many instances, it is said, the explosion of*
the square tin cases in which the oil is
stored killed qr mortally burned seyeral
persons on the spot.
Os the scene presented last evening by
the Petit and Grand Champs, and, in fact,
by all the open spaces rohnd the faubourg,
it would be difficult to convey- an idea
Wherever r°°m could be found for a family
to squat, there little groups
had congregated with such articles of bed
ding and furniture as they had been able to
save from the flames; many of them, how
ever, were without even a mattress, and
the aspect of the whole was pitiable be
yond description.
To-day a few tents have been pitched,
and the Government, as usual, is generous
ly supplying bread to the most destitute.
The number of dead Is spoken of this
morning as from 500 to 600, and that of
the houses destroyed as being little, if at
all, under 8,000.
Up to yesterday afternoon, eighty-four
bodies had been buried in the Greek ceme
tery at the Taxim alone, and throughout
the day the municipality carts were busily
employed in conveying their ghastly loads
to the Pancaldl and other burying grounds.
Though the majority of these had been
burned to death, many were untouched by
the fire, having evidently been snffocated
or crashed to death in lower rooms.
THE SULTAN.
Early in the evening the Sultan rode up
from Dol-ma-baktche, but on reaching the
Taxim his Majesty found the way already
barred by the fames, and was therefore
forced to return. With a thoughtfulness
which does him honor, the Sultan lias or
dered the Medjidieh (Belle Yue) Barracks
to be vacated by the troops and thrown
open to the unsheltered victims of the
calamity, who are also receiving abundant
rations of bread and rice at his Majesty’s
private expense. Orders have at the same
time been given to the Imaums of the
Mussulman quarters to relax thei rule
which practically forbids Christians rent
ing houses to those mahales. A large
amount of house accommodation will thus
at once become available, and at rates of
rent much below that which is usually paid
in the exclusive Christian quarters.
(From the Cork Herald, Jane 17.
LOSS OF LIFE BY THE FIRE.
The late disastrous fire in Constantino
ple, besides the destruction of £5,000,000
worth of property, has resulted in the loss
of over 2,000 lives. The bodies of 1,000
persons had been recovered up to the Bth
inst.
The staff of the English journal published
in Constantinople, the Levant Herald, in
cluding the editor, the compositors and the
clerk- , were burned out, and barely escaped
with their lives.
A Protestant “ Schema.” —The basis
of agreeement for the debates in the forth
coming Evangelical Alliance in New York
will be the same as that of original so
ciety in London, adopted in 1846:
1. The divine inspiration, authority and
efficiency of the Holy Scriptures.
2. The right aud duty of private judg
ment in the interpretation of the Holy
Scriptures.
3. The unity of the Godhead and the
trinity of the persons therein.
4. The utter depravity of human nature
in consequence of the fall.
5. The incarnation of the Son of God,
His work of atonement for sins of man
kind, and his mediatorial intercession and
reign.
6. The justification of the sinner by
faith alone.
7. The work of the Hoiy Spirit in the
justification and sanctification of the sin
ner.
8. The immortality of the sonl, the re
surrection of the body, the judgment of
the world by our Lord Jesus Christ, with
the eternal blessedness of the righteous
and the eternal punishment of the wicked.
9. The divine institution of the Chris
tian ministry, the obligation aud perpetui
ty of the ordinances of baptism and the
Lord’s supper.
It being, however, distinctly declared
that this brief summary is not to be. re
garded in any formal or ecclesiastical
sense, as a creed or confession, nor the
adoption of it as involving an assumption of
the right authoritatively to define the limits
of Christian brotherhood, but simply as
an indication of the class of persons whom
it is desirable to embrace within the al
liance.
Tiie Harvest in Maryland. —The wheat
harvest on the Eastern Shore is about fin
ished. A letter from St. Michael’s to
Easton Star says: -
Wheat harvest has been progressing
rapidly within the past week. We could
now form some definite calculation ja refer
ence to the crop were there anything like
unanimity among the farmers. But there is
not. Mr. A. thinks the crop will be double
that of last year; B. says it will not be a
particle better; C. thinks the yield will be
thirty per cent, less than last year. The
crop of straw is undoubtedly a heavy one,
and the recent fine weather has allowed it
to be secured. In this respect white wheat
is far ahead of the previous five years. We
will venture an opinion, based on the col
lected opinions of the farmers with whom
we have conversed, that the average yield
in this section of the country is about eight
bushels to one seeded.”
The Frederick Examiner remarks:
We are in the midst of harvest, and if the
weather proves favorable there will be lit
tle or no wheat standing in the county the
last of the week. We have conflicting re
ports respecting the crop. Some of the
farmers insist that it is a failure, while
others tell us it will average a half crop.—
In some places the weevil have been very
destructive, and we are told that the wheat
thus damaged will hardly pay for cutting
it. On the other hand, we have seen some
very good wheat, and we think we can
safely say that there will be a full half crop
harvested at least.
The Chinese.— Thee will be such com
binations formed by the white workingmen
of the country as will overwhelm all op

[ Cincinnati Enquirer.
The working people of every pursuit have
been aroused, as by a thunder-clap, on this
Chinese business- It is the question of the
hour in every workshop, in every manu
factory, at every poor man’s table. It is

mechanics an 4 laborers have already begun
to hold meetings about it. On all hands
the alarm-signal of North Adams is awaken
ing them to their danger.
The workingmen of these States, the
mechanics, operatives, and laborers, are
vastly in the majority, ’f'hey aye now pre
paring themselves to take the most deter
mined ground against the impending im
migration of Chinese, aqd whatever means
of whatever kind be necessary for success,
will assuredly be adopted.
[JY. T. Letter—Cincinnati Commercial.

heads and hearts of the “ R formers ” of
the day that they so readily unlearn their
cant about the freedom of tne individual?

tian Union take the ground it now does in

bune view the matter so complacently?

A New Railroad. —An air line railroad
is talked of in a circle of Northern capi
talists, who have four millions of dollars
at their command. The road is to ran
from Memphis, Tenn., to Hawkin3ville, Ga.,
passing through the towns of Holly Springs,
Miss., Talladega, Ala., LaGrange, Ga., and
Fort Valley, Ga.—deyeloping the resources
of the States of Mississippi, Alabama and
Georgia, in a way that the road will haye
no competition. It is thought this road
can be built cheaper than others of a simi
lar class. By this proposed road all the
tributaries of the Mississippi can be sap
ped above Memphis, and a 'through route
opened up between the coast of Florida,
Georgia and South Carolina, as well as the
West India Island, with that great coun
try, the far Yfesi.
Crops in Barnwell.— The Journal of
yesterday thus speaks of the crop pros
pects in Barnwell:
From all we can learn there will be an
excellent corn crop made throughout the
district, provided we have good seasons
from now out. The early cotton is looking
splendidly, while where people have got
the grass out of the late cotton it is doing
tolerably well, and we do not see how any
body is going to make anything much
where they have not been able to keep up
with the grass. We hear less complaint
generally this year of the colored people not
working well than ever before, and if good
crops are not made It will not be for lack
of work on the part of both white and black.
Cotton Lice.— We learn from good au
thority that the cotton lice are making their
appearance on many farms in great num
bers. Should they continue to increase and
commit their depredations, and then be fol
lowed by the black rust —which is almost
invariably the case—the present growing
prop will be placed in great jepopardy.
We see that the rust has made its ap
pearance on cotton in many parts of Mont
gomery county, and is injuring the cotton
very badly.— Opelika {Ala.) Era. •
The wheat harvest in Southern Illinois
is about collected. It is pronounced the
best crop for many years. Corn looks
promising.

the early call of yesterday. This advance
is bnt natural in view of the immense dis
bursements of interest and dividends, on
Ist of July, and the large investment de
mand likely to arise therefrom. The old
issues of 5-20’s and the 10-40 Bonds, being
now relatively the cheapest Bonds, are like
ly to attract the largest share of dealings
after the payment of t.he July Coupons on
the 1881’s and new 5-20’s.'
Gold has been steady at 111%@111%. The
firmness in Sterling Exchange imparts tone
to themarket, yet the speculative feeling is
still strongly in favor of a further decline.
The bids for the Treasury Gold amounted
to $2,990,000, at 1U@11156, and the
$1,000,000 was awarded at 111 51 @lll 56.
The Stock Market has been quiet bnt
strong, under the general impression that
the Currency Bill, as reported by the Con
ference Committee, which is being consid
ered to-day, and which is obnoxious to
Western and Southern members, stands
bnt little chance of becoming a law at this
session. Yours, respectfully,
Hoyt & Gardner.
