New Publications. —Mr. G. W. Carle
ton, the eminent publisher, has just issued
two new works entitled respectively “ Ihe
Cloven Fool" and “ Italian Life and Legends."
Ihe Cloven Foot is the variously sugges
tive title under which Orpheus C. Kerr
presents to the public a most whimsical,
diverting, and witty comic novel, quaintly
put fortli as “ an adaptation of the English
novel ol The Mystery of Edwin DrOod, (by
Charles Dickon*), to American Scenes,
Characters, Customs, and Nomenclature.”
It reduces the unfinished foreign romance
to domesttC'"equivalcnt9 of incident and
characterization, with a ludicrous effect
equal to the most ingenious comedy; the
assumed serious intent of the process, as
an artistic illustration of the difference
between an old and anew country in point
of romantic material, giving an aesthetical
zest to the fun. Carrying the unfinished
English “ Mystery” to a wholly American
«solution 4” the Cloven Foot, while imitat
ing the style and manner of the great
British writer, is an original and powerful
satire upon society, politics, sectionalism,
art, literature, journalism, and even fash
ionable theology (“ Ritualism”) here at
home ; and, in the characters of Mr. Bnm
stead, Miss Potts, Judge Hweenev, Melanc
thonSchenok, the Rev. Mr. Simpson, the
Tendragons, and Mrs. Skammerhorn, pre
sents a series of mirthful and sarcastic
portraitures and imitations exceedingly
laughable. The preface, or “ Apology," of
the work, makes a fine critical Introduc
tion ; and the burlesque “Sketch of the
Adapter,” with a view of “Begad’s Hill
Place,” is very quizzical.
Italian Life and Legends, by Mrs. Anna
Cora Ritchie, will, without doubt, meet
with that success which all of this charm
ing author’s works have always command
ed. There is a two (old inteiest attached
to the work ; a sad interest to the many
who mourn her recent death, and that
growing out of the value of the work It
self. It is marked with much power and a
felicitous delineation of Italian life and
character, possessing all the charm and
grace of Mrs. Ritchie's former writings
Among the most interesting chapters are
an admirable sketch of “ Savonarola, the
Friend of Michael Angelo and Fra Barto
lomeo;” a thrilling account of Caterina
Sforza, delineating the great social evils ol
Italy in the days of the Sforzas and the
Medicis. The grand storied-sketch of the
pure life of Vittoria Colonua—another of
Dante—again of Galileo, would be ample
material, aided by correct facts from verit
able history, to make the work deservedly
popular.
We have not space to cite the headings of
ail the chapters; but will name a few others
to show how much there is to engage the
attention of the lovers of Italian romance
and history- “ Florentine Feuds ” —Fends
of the Bunch* and Neri—a delightful
sketch of Vailombrosa—graphic accounts
of Mrs. Browning and Mrs. Trollope, of
Ristori and Piccolomini, with the sad story
of Ginevra, of a kind only to be fonnd in
the dark superstitions and myths of Italian
history of Middle Ages. The book is
beautifully got up and illustrated.
The Galaxy magazine for 1871 promises
even greater attractions than heretofore.
Among the attractions for the coming year,
Porte Crayon is engaged to furnish a series
of Sketches of. life and adventure, which
will revive the old interest in his pictures
of American scenes. Mrs. Edwards, the
author of “Archie Lovell,” “Steven Law
rence,” and “ Sam Fielding,” will begin a
new novel in the January number, entitled,
“ Ought We to Visit Her ?” In the Janua
ry number anew department will be open
ed -a department of science—which will
be under the charge of a distinguished
writer. The remarkable series of papers
by distinguished public men, to which
Messrs. Thurlow Weed.J.S. Black, Horatio
King and Gideon Welles, have contributed
during the year now closed, will be con
tinued during 1871, and will include con
tributions »m other public men of high po
sition and wide experience. Each Dum
ber will have humorous articles by Mark
Twain Also, a complete review of the
world of literature, embracing French, Ger
man, English and American literature, pre
pared by the most competent writers. Mr.
Richard Grant White will, early in the
year, begin his series of articles on “Ameri
canisms,” a continuation of the popular
series on “ Words and Their Uses.” Mr.
Justin McCarty has returned to the United
States, and will contribute regalarly to the
Galaxy as heretofore. Os other writers
who will have articles in the numbers of
the Galaxy for 1871, may be named: Bayard
Taylor, lk Marvel, Parke Goodwin, Dr. J.
C. Draper, Carl Benson, Laure d’Hauterive
(author of the Havana Let ter), Professor
J. M. Hart, of Cornell University, and
others. The regular departments of the
Galaxy will be continued, “Driftwood,”
by Philip Quilibet, treating of current
events, Is always Interesting and instruc
tive. The “ Nebulae ” Is bright and attrac
tive. Short stories and sketches, by the
best writers, In abundance. The conductors
of the Galaxy intend to make it even better
and more attractive than it has heretofore
been. No expense will be spared to secure
articles of the greatest interest to its read
ers.

Republican Mass Meeting.— Yesterday,
at 1 o’clock, p. iu., J. E. Bryant briefly ad
dressed a gathering of about one hundred
and fifty negroes, the burden of his soug
being an invocation against the influence
of Democratic money iu the provision of
better clothes, more coffee and sugar, and
a general better provision of physical com
forts for those who voted the Democratic
ticket in ttie approaching election, than
would appear iu the case of those who stood
by the Republican party. He had no use
for men who would sell themselves —know-
ing Democrats in Augusta who had told
him that if secured certain positions they
would embrace the doctrines of the Re
publican party. He did not want that
class of men, ami invoked his hearers to
watch those men wno would sell them
selves, or vote the bolters’ ticket.
There being but little spirit exhibited in
the meeting, it adjourned to 7:30 o’clock in
the evening, at which time it was an
nounced that Hon.’ A. T. Akennan, I. S.
Fannin and Thomas P. Beard would address
the meeting.
At the evening session <ff the love-feast,
Mr. Fannin was the first speaker, the chief
object of his speech seeming to be to con
vince the darkles of the numerous dollars
which the present Administration had saved
the National Government, of which they
knew quite as much when the speaker had
finished as when he commenced. Fannin,
doubtless, would be a bad man, if he only
had the courge, but what he says amounts
to little more than dishwater.
The prince of the evening, and the only
one Who it seemed could do poor weak
Radicals good, was the Crown officer of the
United States, Amos. T. Akennan, of
which the present election law of Georgia
constitutes his chief distinction in the per
fection of political infamy. He absorbed
the entire evening until 11 o’clock at
night, in telling the negroes of the won
rlrous things which Radicalism had accom
plished for their redemption, and the ter
rible consequences to which they would be
exposed should they vote the Democratic
ticket. That he was reckless of figures and
statement is no matter of wonder, when it is
known that he keeps an eye upon the United
States Senate, and is, like Blodgett, ever pre
pared,to cheat any and everybody into the
belief that he is a Radical angel, in whose
mouth Goshen butter would at once become
mere oil. Mr. Akennan was thoroughly par
tisan in all his deductions, and although his
line of argument was beyond the ken of Ills
dusky hearers, who had tilled the couit
room to hear what he had to say, he drew
frequent applause. He managed to enun
ciate some truth, but his excessive partisan
ship obscured what little of truth t.e pro
claimed. Asa political revivalist, Akennan
is a failure.
The prolonged talk of the Crown officer
prevented other speakers from airing their
eloquence, and the meeting adjourned, with
no converts that are known.
Ingenious Smuggling —An ingenious
method of smuggling has just beeu detect
ed In New York, in which emigrants are
implicated, but whether knowingly or not
does not appear. This fraudulent evasion
of customs consisted in sending to this
couni ry thousands of dollars’ worth of
valuable silks and Lyons velvets, which
were brought from Ireland iu the boxes of
the emigrants, which were furnished with
false bottoms, in which the smuggled goods
were placed. These goods were first smug
gled into Ireland from Frauce. The boxes
used iu the smuggling operations were
made and sold to emigrants at reduced
prices by a large trunk manufacturer of
Belfast, and the silks were doubtless placed
in the false bottoms before they were sold
to the emigrants. Before starting for this
country, the emigrants were recommended
to go, on their arrival in New Yoik, to
certain emigrants’ boarding-houses in West
street, and when they arrived tl.ere it was
a simple matter to remove the smuggled
goods and replace the false bottoms. It is
estimated that the United States Govern
ment has lost not less than $250,000 in gold
by this cheating of the custom house. The
business has also been carried on with
Baltimore, it is said. The goods thus
smuggled, on arriving in New York, were
removed to two wholesale houses on Broad
way, who were thus enabled to sell fine
silks and velvets at a low figure, very much
under the market rates.

An Important Decision. —The Supreme
Court of Tennessee has decided that the
absence of & stamp does not affect the
legality of a document. A failure to affix
the stamp subjects the delinquent to fine
by the United States Courts, when con
victed, but does not affect the validity of
the contract in this State.

Not a Candidate.—The following let

and shows that he will not contest the
Democratic party nomination:
At Home, December 17,1870.
Messrs Editors: Yon will please with

paper. While lam fu’ly satisfied that the
convention did not represeut the views of a
majority of the tax payers, still I will not

will support the Democratic nomination at
the coming election. Respectfully,

Daring Outrage.— On Monday night
last, while a little panorama was being ex
hibited at the house of Mr. Atterberry,
near Lee’s Turn Oont, a party of despera
does entered the camp of some railroad
hands, who were absent at the show, and
carried off a quantity of their baggage, &c.
Not contented with this, they secreted
themselves near by, and on the approach of
the hands toward their camp, they were
fired on some eight or ten times by the rob
bers, who then fled. No one was hurt, aud
the camp was arrived at.
About half an hour after the show, and
when everything seemed still, the demons
returned, and when within a few paces of
their little shanty, fired a volley of fifteen
balls into that, and again disappeared.—
While this was going an the wagon belong
ing to the showman .was hauled to the
woods, and there burned. What the object
of these devils could have been, no one
knows, and the whole affair seems clothed
in mystery. —Barnwell (S. C.) Sentinel, 16th.
Our Conclusion.—Aa fur as we are able to

facts; aud we have no hesitation in warmly
recommending the article to oar readers as an
essential of the economic cnisine, and as a gen

DIRECTIONS FOR COMPOSTING.
To prepare the Compost-Take a given weight of Cotton Seed, which can be readily done
by ascertaining the weight of a basket well filled, and using it as a measure for the given weight.
°. Ut ’ tor example, 40‘J lbs.; after wetting it well, empty upon it an equal weight
of Aud Phosphate, say two 6acks of 200 lbs. each ; after mixiug well with hoes or shovels,
pack into a heap and repeat the operation, enlarging the heap to any desired extent.
The Compost heap may be placed in a pen made with rails, to support the sides of the
mass, simply covenug the top with boards lapping each other, to condnct off the rain. Noth
ing lurther is required, until the proper time tor applicilion arrives
Iu this manner the Compost may be easily made, and ils ffects cannot fail to give the
highest satisfaction, while its economy mast commend it to general use.
The most satiable lime to make the Compost is when the Seed comes from the gin. The
longer the heap is allowed to lay undisturbed the better, as it can lose none of its value aud
the decomposition will be more thoroughly affected. ’
ihreo\o l si^x C w 1 ' r .k U ' mado Kinnihg, U will be sufficiently decomposed io from
By decomposition of the Seed In contact with the Ac and Phosphate, there can be bo loss ot
Ammonia, ass the cao with the ordinary rotting of Cos too Seed. The whole ot its Ammonia
is securely held until liberated in the soil.
By reason of the bulk of Cotton Seed, it is available for forailizing purposes only on the
plautuiions ; and to be made capable of its highest utility must be used as here proposed
The Compos , when made, is applied as other fertilizers.
Compost prepan and with Compound Acid Phosphate of Lime and Cotton Seed, as above
was used to some extent last season, with satistactory results

Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases of the Throat, and Lungs, ;
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
aud Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history of
medicine, has anything won so widely and so deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through a long
series of years, and among most of the races of
men it has risen higher and higher in their estima
tion, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat, have made it known as a re
liable protector against them. While adapted to
milder forms of disease and to young children, it is
at the sume time the most effectual remedy that can
be given for incipient consumption, and the dan
gerous affections of the throat and lungs. Asa pro
vision against sudden attacks of Croup, it should
bo kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all
aro sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for thorn.
Although settled Consumption is thought in
curable, still great numbers of cases where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry Pectoral. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield to it. When noth*
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pea
fowl they subside and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers find great pro*
tection from it.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking tint
Cherry Pectoral in small and frequent doses.
So generally arc its virtues known that we neoff
not publish the certificates of them here, or do more
than assure tho public that its qualities are fully
maintained. (
Ayer’s Ague Cure,
For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever,’
Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever, Ac.,
and indeed all the affections which aria,
from malarious, marsh, or miasmatia
poisons.
As its name implies, it does Cure, and does not
fail. Containing neither Arsenic, Quinine, Bismuth,
Zinc, nor any other mineral or poisonous substanco
whatever, it in nowise injures any patient. Thn
number nnd importance of its cures in the ague dis
tricts, are literally beyond account, and we boliova
without a parallel in the history of Ague medicine.
Our pride is gratified by the acknowledgments wr»
receive of the radical cures effected in obstinatu
eases, and where other remedies had wholly failed.
Unacclimated persons, either resident in, on
travelling through miasmatic localities, will be pro
tected by taking the AGIOS CURB daily.
For Liner Complaints, arising from torpidity
of the Liver, it is an excellent remedy, stimulating;
the Liver into healthy activity.
For Bilious Disorders and Liver Complaints, it is.
an excellent remedy, producing many truly re
markable cures, where other medicines nad failed.

and Analytical Chemists, LoweU, Mass., and soli

W HY le it that eo many children die under
the age ot five years f That a large proportion
of children die under that age has long been a
subject o( remark, and without a satisfactory
cause ascertained, it is certain.
Also, it ts known that worms exist in tha
human system iroru its earliest infancy ; there
fore parents, especially mothers, who are more
constantly with their children, cannot be too
observing of the first, symptoms of worms ; ter
so surely as they exist, can they be
SAFELY AND CERTAINLY
removed from the most delicate infant, by tha
timely use of
B. A. Fahnestock's Vermifuge.
It Is perfectly harmless, contains no Mercury,
being a
Purely Vegetable Composition,
And may administered with the UTMOST
SAFETY TO CHILDREN OF ALL AGES.
Worm Confections, made more tor the pur
pose of pleasing the palate than of overcoming
the disease, have been manufactured all over
