Preserve your own Fruits and
Vegetables.— Our neighbors Plumb &
Leitner have a large supply of the “Mil
ville Atmospheric Fruit Jar,” which we
think, from examination, are very supe
rior. and will be found fully up to what
they say of them elsewhere. Head their
advertisement.
Death of an Old Citizen of Floyd
County. —Mr. Jobe Rogers, one of the
lirst settlers ol Floyd county in this S ate,
died at his residence in that county on last
Monday evening. Mr. Rogers was about
eighty years of age. was a good citizen and
highly respected member of society. He
was, up to the time of his death, a com
n-unieant and leading member of the Bap
tist Church, and was one of the founders
of the church of that denomination in the
town of Rotuc.
Death of Mrs. Cothban.— From the
Rome Courier we learn that Mrs. Eliza
beth Frances Sproull, wife "of Col. Wade
>S. Cothran, of Rome, died on last Satur
day, aged fifty-eight years. She was born
in Spartanburg District, South Carolina,
but has resided in Floyd and Cass counties
for the past twenty-five years. She is
represented as having been a model wife,
sd affectionate mother, a true Christian,
and oue who never turned a deaf ear to
the wants of the poor, or refused a kind
word to the erring.
A Second Robbery on the River. —
A few days since the Chronicle & Sen
tinel contained an account of the robbery
of a large amount of provisions belonging
to E. M. Bruce & Cos. by one Ferguso-,
the owner of the boat on which the sup
plies had been shipped, and the subsequent
arrest and committal of the criminal. On
Thursday another jobbery of a similar
nature was brought home to the same
parly through the tact and vigilance of
Lie ut. W( lsh of the police force. It seems
that on the same day in which the provis
ions of Bruce A Cos. were shipped, a num
ber of bolts of dry goods were sent by the
same cimvcyanco to a parly in Edgefield
District, South Carolina, by Messrs. Gray
A Turley of this city. The goods were
never delivered and information of the
theft having been lodged at police head
quarters. the cast was worked up as above
stated and nearly all the goods recovered.
As usual, they were found in the posses
sion of shop- keepers who had purchased
them from the thief.
The Irish Patriot O'Donovan Rossa.
Our city readers, no doubt, well remem
ber the beautiful and accomplished Irish
woman, Mrs. O’Donovan Rossa, who gave
a series of readings and recitations in
Augusta last Winter in order to raise
money by which anew trial might be ob
tained fur her husband, incarcerated in a
cell at Portland for complicity in the Irish
rebellion. From a letter from Dublin, pub
lished in an Irish paper recently, we are
afraid that her aid will come too late to
save the life of her husband. The letter
referred to bays that O’Donovan Rossa has
suffered intensely in his i nprisonment—for
a period of five weeks he has been kept
with his hands manacled behind his hack
night and day. Rossa and his five com
panions in buffering were confined in Cheat
ham jail at last accounts.
What is a Family?— The Ordinary of
Coweta county has decided that a man
without wife or children, but who kept
house and had servants in his employ, was
not the head of tho family, and therefore
was not entitled to a homostead. A. G.
Murray, Register in Bankruptcy, had the
same point before him, and decided that
any ono wlm kept house and employed
servants, or, in other words, set up and
lived on his own hook, was the head of a
family in a legal sense, and was entitled to
a homestead. Judge Erskine, of the
United States District Court, sustained the
decision.
Murder of 11on. R. W. Flournoy.—
Prom the Macon Telegraph of Thursday
we gel the particulars of the murder of
lion. R. W. Flournoy on last Tuesday in
Washington county. It seems that on
Tuesday morning last Mr. Flournoy re
marked to his wife that his Btock on the
place and the crops were looking very bad
ly, and that they were not receiving proper
attention. Ho said this just as ho was in
tho act of going out of the house. As was
customary with him when going out, he
took his pistol along with him. Soon after
ho left tho house Mrs. F. heard a shot in
the direction of tho field where a negro
was plowing, and sent a colored woman
out to ascertain the cause. In a short
while she returned, stating that Mr. Flour
noy was killed and was lying in tfio field.
The alarm was immediately given and sev
eral persons hastened to the spot, where
they found Mr. F. lying on the ground,
shot through tho head. lie was still
alive, but perfe tly insensible. Upon
his arms and hands wore uumorous
bruises and bites, which indicated that
he had just been engaged in a desperate
struggle. The negro who was .plowing
in the field tells the improbable story, that
ho was asked a few questions by Mr.
Flournoy when | lowing on that side of
the field, and when he had again nearly
crossed it, he heard a pistol fire, and, look
ing back, saw Mr. F. falling. Tho negro
was arrested and lodged in jail, as his story
will not bear investigation. There were
the marks of a violent scuffle, both upon
the persou of Mr. F. and also upon the
ground, and it is not possible that they
oould have been made within a hundred or
two yards of tho negro, and that, too, in
an open field, without his knowledge. Tho
fact is, ho and Mr. F. got into a scuffle
about the way tilings were going on, and
in the souffle tho negro got possession of
Mr. F.’s pistol and killed him with it.
Tllk (.Yuan Insurrection.—The Navy
Department lias received advices from
Hear Admiral Hoff, dated Matanzas, May
27tli, in which he says he left Havana
on the 'JO th inst., and arrived at Matauzas
the same day. where ho and his officers
were received and cnteitained by the of
ficer of jurisdiction at his palace. The
Admiral was much surprised to find the
feeling of animosity between the volunteers
and the Cuban element was much less bit
ter than ho had been led to expect in
Havana In fact, from appearances, a
stranger in Matsons would never suspect
that a revolution w..s raging on the Island;
and American commerce, which is quite
extensive here, is unmolested, and the
merchants and shippers are carrying on
their business as in times of peace. The
news from Nuevitas is meagre. All the
American citizens desirous of going to the
United States, spoken of in previous let
ters, have left that vicinity, and although
the I', e ; • >.* was thereon the Itch inst.,
no claimants for passage to Havana ap
peared. l.i utenant Commander Eastman
reports i! at the railway to Puerto Principe
has been tar repaired that a locomotive
and frcigl',: ears came down to Nuevitas at
a slow raie, taking three days to make the
journey of forty.eight miles, and requiring
a guard and L’o.i i m en f or protection. About 1
the S’i. t 10th of May some binds of
insurgent - alta . i the convoy of a train,
defeated tin m. at and destroyed the bridges
the Spaniards Lad built and captured
forty-three officers and men. including a
Colonel. This is the only decided success
of the revolutionists that iiaa been rccen.ly
reported. The Admiral has been informed
that Gen. Lose*, Governor of Puerto
Principe, has been removed by the Cap
tain General for alleged cruelties iu boru-
Lardiug a camp composed of women aud
ebildreu, and General Letona Ordered to
succeed him. This action has caused
great discontent among the Havana volud
teers. who have placarded the strerts with
sat irical caricatures of Duloe. The Span
ish authorities at Neuvitas—and, in fact,
at every portot the island txoept Caibarien
or Remedios—have been exceedingly po
lite, offering every facility to my officers
and manifesting a friendly desire to please.
There are rumors that Trinidad is environ
ed by a large force of insurgents, and there
is also a report that the place is in their
possession. AtGuantanomo, on the south
side, Dear the eastern end of the island, the
insurrection is said to be exceedingly strong
id consequence of the sucocsful lauding of
expeditions in that district, and that in a
recent engagement with the Spaniards the
latter were defeated. One thing is posi
tive, however, and that is, the actual or
supposed successful landing of these expe
ditions has infused new life into the insur
rection that, to all appearances, was dying
out some two weeks ago. Ex-Captain-
Gcncral Dolce has sailed for Spain. He
was accompanied to the steamer by ail the
officers of high rank now in Havana, and
by the Colonels of the volunteer regiments.
The Havana journals publish reports which
represent tLat thousands of insurgents are
surrendering.
The volunteers have removed the Gov
ernors of Cardenas and Colon, and pro
pose to establish a Triumvirate, consisting
of prominent Spaniards, to govern the
island till the Home Government is set
tled. They will probably give Count Val
maseda command of the force in the field.
The Governor of Havana and Chief
Justice have resigned. Forty officials and
the Bishop of Cuba accompany Gen.
Dulce to Spain. Gen. Espinar is expected
to resign soon. A serious affray between
the volunteers end regulars has taken
place at Cardenas.
The next day after his landing, Jordan
was attacked by a strong body of Span
iards, reinforced by troops arriving from
Mayari. He moved out of his position,
and thereby gave the Spaniards to under
stand that he gave up the field. They
charged immediately up to the abandoned
points of defence (saw a dismounted gun
and a small quantity of war material left as
decoy), and soon occupied them. Jordan
had, however, previously arranged other
houses, cutting port-holes, Ae-, and mount
ing cannon of strong calibre. These were
concealed. As soon as the troops had
fairly got up to what teemed his abandon- |
ed works, be, all of a sudden, rained upon j
them a perfect fusilade. They were cut I
down terribly, and fled as fast as possible,
until they met another detachment from
the garrison at Mayari. Jordan brought |
along six field-pieces and two siege guns. !
He arrived a little sooner than was ex- ;
peeled, and did uot get into communica- !
lion with Quesada until the third day. He
left, what he should have never carried
with him, the siege guns, and retired, as
he did not wish to wait and have all the
enemy’s forces concentrated upon him.
He is now, however, safe atid sound with
the rest of his ariillery and munitions of
war, along with General Quesada.
The Savannah Postmaster and iiis
Deputy.— The two Radical appointees in
the Savannah pobtoffice, Clift and Seeley,
have made a brilliant commencement in
their official career. They have proved
themselves great at paying out Uncle
Sam’s money, as is proved by the follow
ing little story, which we find in the
Savannah Republican of Wednesday :
It seems that on last Monday a mer
chant of Savannah called for convenience,
Mr. 11. having two hundred dollars in
postoffico orders, called to collect the
money. The individual called Seeley made
his appearance at the desk, counted out
the money, handed it over to 11. and re
ceived the drafts- 11., with his money in
hand, returned to his place of business,
but before depositing the money in the
safe concluded to count it over again,
which lie did, and found that it amounted
to four hundred instead of two hundred.
Now, 11. is a wag, and the occasion was
too good an one not to have a bit of fun out
of the new offic als. So he hurried back
to the postoffice and with lugubrious
countenance and apparently much excited,
thus addressed himself to Deputy Seeley :
H.—“Mr. Seeley there’s a mistake
about this money, sir; it is not what my
drafts call for, and 1 want the mistake cor
rected forthwith." Seeiey—“ Too late for
correction, sir; I counted it in your pres
ence at the desk here, found it ail right,
and you thought so too. If you had ob
jected then the mistake would have been
corrected; now, it is against the rule of the
office, and if there is a loss it's your fault,”
H—“But, sir, I insist upon its correction.
I am an old citizen and you know I would
not misrepresent a matter of tho kind.
Where's Mr. Clift, the Postmaster? I
know he will order the mistake corrected.”
Clift here came forward, and If. boseeehed
him to have the matter rectified, but all
to no purpose; the new Postmaster was
inexorable—it was too late and ho didn’t
believe in that way of doing business. 11.,
apparently much euraged, left the office,
and went to his store to await developments.
Yesterday morning tt. had hardly en
tered his store when Seeley made his ap
pearance with a face betokening the great
est distress. “Mr. H.,” he remarked,
“I’ve come over to correct that mistake
we made yesterday, and hope you will
have no objection.” “Yes, sir, 1 have,”
replied H. “I begged and implored you
yesterday to correct it, and you refused—it
was ‘too late ;’ I appealed to Mr. Clift,
and he too refused and would do nothing.
Now it’s my time, and it’s no use to ask it—
its ‘too late.’ ” “But sir,” exclaimed
Seeley, almost to tho sobbing point,
“I can’t stand the loss—l’m ruin
ed if you don’t correct the mistake.”
"Don’t care ad n if you are,” coolly
replied 11. “You and Clift never did any
good in your lives, and I intend you shall
do some now. I intend to present one hun
dred dollars to the Catholic School for or
phans, fifty dollars to the Widows' Home,
and fifty dollars to the Union Society’s
boys, all with the compliments of Mr.
Clift, Postmaster, and Seeley Deputy, and
get them to send you receipts in acknowl
edgment of your liberally. I’ve no further
use for you, sir; good mornitig.” Seeley
departed, ruminating over the beauties of
a situation in the Postoffice. When last
heard from Clift, with all hands, was busily
engaged with two slates, three primary
arithmetics, and a copy of Joe Brown's
Elements of Book-keeping, trying to
balance accounts without the two hundred
or having anything to pay out of his own
lockets. As other government officers
have found no difficulty in such cases, he
was probably successful.
The Wheat Crop in Cherokee and
North Georgia.— From a very intelli
gent and observing gentleman, a resident
of Cherokee, Georgia, we learn that the
wheat is now being harvested throughout
the upper portions of the State : and that
the general yield will surpass for quantity
and quality any previous crop grown there
for many years past. The crop, he states,
will turn out to be a most bountiful one,
richly rewarding the farmers of that sec
tion of Georgia, who had sown an area
much larger than in previous year3. A
few days now of lair weather, and more
wheat of first-rate quality will be harve t
cd than was even hoped for by the tann
ers in that wheat-growing section. This
is good news—glad tidings—ior which let
us not forget to give thanks to a bountiful
Providence.
One Man Killed and Two, Wounded 1
in Hancock County.—We learn from
the Hancock paper that on last Saturday
night, Mr. John Taylor, Superintendent of
the Montour Factory was shot and killed
by a young man named James Oxford, in
the adjoining village of Montour. It
seems (from the evidence given in on the
inquest) that Oxford was fiddling near the
residence of Mr. Taylor, who went out to
quiet the disturbance. After a little alter
cation between them, Taylor gave Oxford
a punch in the breast, whereupon Oxford
drew a pistol. Taylor remarked. “Oh,
you have a pistol,” and unwittingly made
at him agaiu, whether as an assailant, or
to take the pistol from him, witnesses could
not say. Oxford, it seems, took it serious
ly. and shot him in the breast; Taylor
called for his step-son, young Farrish, to
defend him, as he was shot. Farrish im
mediately replied by shooting Oxford just
above the heart, the ball fracturing a rib
and glancing round, lodging in the back.
Oxford returned the fire, shooting Farrish
in the abdomen, just above the hip—the
bail passing through without injuring the
viecera. Oxford and Farrish are both
likely to recover, the former being put in
jail until well enough to stand his trial (or
! commitment.
Mr. Taylor died of his wounds on Suu
j day evening.
The Confederate Dead.—' The Con
federate dead are being removed from the
Chickamauga battle-field, and reinterred
in the Confederate cemetery at Marietta.
The Journal says that about two hundred
bodies arrived there during the present
week.
What the Ladies Want—Reduction
in Dry Goods. —Messrs. Muilarky Bleth
ers, during the present week, announce a
reduction in the price of their large stock
of Dry Goods. Our readers are referred
to their announcement elsewhere.
Richmond County Agricultural So
j CIF.TY. —The regular monthly meeting of
1 this Society was held Saturday at the
Summerville Garden.
The President being* bsen*. I ice Pres
! idem Henry Moore, Esq., called the So
ciety to order. A good deal of r nine
business was attended to, after which an
exceedingly interesting and useful discus
sion arofce upon the comparative merits
and constituent elements of stable ma
nure and commercial fertilizers. In this
discussion Gan. G. W. Evans, P. J.
Berclcmans, Esq , Robert Schley, John
Dezier, J. G. Tuekc-r and ethers partici
pated. Our !im : ted space forbids our giv
ing even the general outline of the remarks
of the several gentlemen. We will try
and report them somewhat folly in a
future issue.
Col. David W. Lewis who, it was ex
pected, would deliver an address to the
Society, for some cause not known, failed
to aitcnd. This was a matter of serious
dbappoiatnien , as many persons had
been induced to attend mainly to hear his
address.
| Hon. B. 11. Hill being present, was
called out and made a short address, di
j reeled mainly to the subject of the proper
i treatment and management of our South
i ern labor. Mr. Hill’s speech was listened
j to with marked attention, and his views
will ceituinly put many of our planters to
; more serious rtflection upon this all-im
| port ant subject. The views c-f Mr. Hill
are,in cur opinion in the main correct, and
wc should take much pleasure iu publish
ing them, in sab.-tanee at least, for the
[ benefit of our readers. The subject is so
; interesting and important that we have
determined to solicit from Mr. Hill a
written statement of the main points in
his address, and we feel assued that he
will comply with our wishes, more especi
ally as it is al.-o the unanimous wish of
those present that he prepare for publica
tion his interesting address.
Several agricultural implements were
exhibited and examined through a special
committee appointed for tint purpose.
Among them we noticed anew and im
proved Sweep, invented and made by
Cooper; Brown’s Cotton Planter, Ellerbe s
Transplanter, and a now press for packing
cotton and hay, patented by Boaz. Mr.
P. J. Berckmans also exhibited a magfrificent
sample of cabbage and a basket of delicious
ripe peaches—Hale’s Early which are
the first we have seen in this section. Mr.
B informs us that he will ship to-morrow
quite a large number to New York by Fix
press.
After partaking of a fine dinner, pre
pared on the ground by the polite and
obliging proprietor of the Garden, the
Society adjourned to its next regular meet
ing in July.
Honor to the Fallen Heroes of
Mercer. —The members of the Ciceron
ian and Phi Delta Societies, of Mercer
University, have organized a “Memorial
Association, with a view to erect a suitable
monument in honor of the Alumni of the
Institution, who fell in battle or died in
the Confederate service during the war.
The two Societies are represented by the
following Committees :
Ciceronian. Phi Delta.

A Negro Riot in Elbert County.—
Wc have been informed (says the Elberton
Gazette) that on Saturday last a number
of negroes collected together near Bruce’s
Mill, about seven miles southeast of this
place, for the purpose of having a Sunday-
School celebration. During the day a
number of them became intoxicated, and,
feeling rather lively, made considerable
noise, to the general disturbance of the
crowd. Some of their number attempted
to keep order and restore peace and quiet,
when a« difficulty occurred between the
parties, which terminated in a general riot.
It seems that they had a “free fight”—a
general knock down and drag out. We
learn that several were seriously wounded,
and some perhaps mortally. We have not
heard the full particularsup to this writing,
and wo hope the affair is not altogether so
bad as represented. We have not heard
of any of the parties being arrested, as yet,
but presume that they will be.
The Periodicals.
Quarter’x Review.—Wc have re
ceived fro’-> b publishers the last num
ber of 27m London Quarterly Review, a
periodical which has for the last fifty years
—since it wai started, with the editorial
chair filled by Thomas Campbell—main
tained such a deservedly high position
among the English Reviews.
The present number contains a number
ofinteresting articles ou various attractive
subjects. The most notable feature of the
number is an essay on “Modern English
l’oets,” in which the British Poet Lau
reate—Alfred Tennyson—is subjected to a
severe but, we think, just criticism. The
author of the review, after discussing the
merits and demerits ot his principal poems,
arrives at the conclusion that Tennyson, in
none of his works, has displayed tho orig
inality of intellect and comprehensiveness
of grasp which are tho characteristics of
the great poet. This article possesses
unusual significance in view of the source
from which it comes, and the fact that
another English Magazine, scarcely infe
rior to the Quarterly— the Temple Bar —
has also recently published a most severe at
tack on the poetical fame of the Laureate.
From appearances it seems that England
will soon be agitated by as fierce a literary
discussion as the celebrated Byron-Bowles
controversy of half a century since. This
time, however, instead of the question,
“Was Pope a Poet?” we shall have the
one “Is Teuuyson a Poet ?”
Edinburgh Review. —The last number
of the Edinburgh Review has been receiv
ed. It contains attractive articles on lite
rary, scientific and financial subjects.
Among other papers there is a long and
able article on “American Finances,” be
ing a review of the state of the finances of
the United States from the termination of
hostilities in 1865 dovnn to the present
time. The author, after a careful exami
nation of the United States and its re
sources, comes to the conclusion that the
country is going to the bad very rapidly.
He believes, with Commissioner Wells,
that every day the rich become richer and
i the poor poorer: nor is this fact disproved
in any way by the corresponding fact that
production increases with great rapidity.
He pronounces our whole financial system
! corrupt, an outrage on common sense, ex
travagant beyond belief and tending to the
exaltation of fraud and the ruin of honesty.
Southern Presbyterian Review, a
Quarterly magazine, published in Columbia,
South Carolina, by an association of Pres- i
byt rian Ministers, has been received. It
contains an article on “The Southern
Presbyterian University;" a “Plea in behalf ’
of the Widows and Orphans of Deceased
Ministers of the Presbyterian Church;" an
article on “Go-operation;” “Some re
marks on the Influence of Magazines and
Reviews on Authorship, and a Suggestion
for au Authoritative canon of classic Eug
lish Authors;” “Authorship at the
: South and “Critical Notices.”

Journal for the present week is, as is
usually the case, all that can be desired in

many other articles, a fnely executed line
j engraving, from an original painting by

gansett Pier.

Melancholy. —For the amount of
money invested in dressing and entertain
ing during the past season there seems to
have been less return than usual in the
number of marriages which have hitherto
marked the advent of Spring. Young
people are constantly thrown together in
the social arena and come out unscathed.
Time was, wheD opportunity, importunity,
and propinquity was to produce cer
tain results. Has beauty’s smile lost its
power and have the men grown callous ?
We venture to say there never has been a
time when the engagement and matri
monial market was duller or more declin
ing. Holders despair of realizing. The
demand is not equal to the supply.
Military Arrests lu Mississippi.
“SPOTTED” CITIZENS CAPTURED.
Prom t,\e Meridian Mercury, Jane 1.
The county of Kemper has been invaded
by something of an army of Federal sol
diers, with all the pomp ani parade of
glorious war. We have heard of no hostile
forces in Kemper to oppose them—neither
bushwhackers, guerrillas, nor regulars.
Still the campaign has not been without
excitement, as will appear. These tr >ops
are divided into small squads, and, guided
by negroes, take by-paths, came suddenly
upon citizens. such, no doubt, as have been
spotted for them by a little Radical clique
of the county, and with arms presented de
mand a surrender, which in most cases
has been promptly made. Up to latest ac
counts, in this way they have succeeded in
airesting ten of the citizens of this county,
t-c-vrit: J. F. Ball, Jimmy. Terry. Frank
'Ross, Tom Wilson, two of the Newels,
Pulaski Gray, ODe or more of the Parkers,
and one of the Edwardses.
On Friday, an attempt was made to ar
rest George Alexander. A negro piloted
the squad to where he was at wore iu his
new ground, but, having an idea that, it'
legs were good for anything, they were
g,od to get a mau out of the way of
harm, the valiant squad witnessed a sight
they didn't often see during the four years
next preceding the last past—a Southerner
flying before them for dear life like a
frightened deer. They had an exciting
chase of three miles, bnt the Southerner
won the race, and is now probably fighting
mosquitoes in some dense swamp,.sleeping
in a hollow log, and living daintily on blue
whortleberries where the valiant boys in
blue and .their sable guides don’t know
where to hunt him.
A squad went for another man. They
thought they had him surrounded, and
were sure of him, but, seeing no other
chance of escape, he went into a hole in
the ground and pulled the hole in after
him. They are greatly puzzled to know
which way to look for him, and specula
tion has taken a wide range among them,
whether he will come out on this or the
other side of the terrestrial ball.
Ten prisoners have been brought into
camp at Lauderdale, and are held there in
close confinementunder guard. We heard
a squad of negroes discussing the 'matter
yesterday morning in a fervor of exulta
tion: “Deni Ku-kluxesgot ku-kluxed dey
selves dis time. Ain’t 1 glad 1 And dey
got handcuffs on ’em, goody !” Whether
the exultant negro was posted about their
being Ku-klux, we don’t know. We be
lieve, from information, that his rejoicing
at their being handcuffed was without
cause. The prisoners are kept in close
confinement, strictly guarded, and nobody
allowed to speak to them. At least, we
know a party who went to Lauderdale to
see them, and learning from outsiders that
it would be useless to, did not make tho
effort.
When the news that these arrests were
being made was first received here, to the
inquiry, what for ? we heard it glibly as
serted that a negro had been killed. That
is very likely, but we have not been able to
learn of time, place and circumstance.
We have no reason to believe, from any
thing we know of the condition of Kemper,
that if a crime has been committed, the
criminal could not have been proceeded
against successfully in the ordinary way of
affidavit and civil process.
Radical pimps of military authority, wc
suspect, are at the bottom of these high
handed proceedings in Kemper.
THE “NATION'S” DANCERS.
The Middies' Ball—Sherman the Most
Graceful Grant Awkward Borie
Sprightly.
From the Correspondence of the New York Herald.
General Sherman was unquestionably
the best and the most gracel'ul dancer
among the gentlemen, while Mrs. Admiral
Porter excelled among the ladies. The
President did not seem to be entirely au
fait. He got bewildered, und it kept Mrs.
Porter busy leading him through the
figure.
A NAVAL BREAKDOWN.
The Secretary of the Navy, though
among the oldest of the dancers, was as
sprightly as the sprightliest. He was as
familiar with the intricacies of the mazy
dance as he is with the management of the
Navy Department- Accidents, however,
will happen with the best dancers, as well
as in the best regulated families. The
honorable Secretary of the Navy was not
free from them on this occasion. The
“middies',” with a view to facilitate the
dancing, had tho floor of tho ballroom
waxed until it was smooth and as slippery
as a skating rink. Their little limbs went
over it like old tars with their sea legs on.
As the Secretary was about to lead his
partner forward, to salute the opposite
couple, his foot slipped, and down he wont
stern foremost. Admiral Porter was soon
at his side. The dance for the moment
was interrupted. The President cams to
the assistance of his Secretary, and the
unfortunate Borie was soon on his legs
again. The incident was at once serious
and comic, and was heartily cujoyed by the
young “middies.”

The most bewildered person in the dance
was the President. Whether it was the
scrutinizing gaze of the multitude, the
oppressive heat of the ball-room, or tho
ghost of some state secret haunting him,
he seemed to lose his self possession. He
would grasp his partner first by one baud
and then by the other. His eyes wander
ed restlessly from couple to couple, as if
he desired to discount their' movements in
advance. He was continually getting in
the way of some of the ladies or gentlemen
in the set, and when he should have been
with his partner he was looking around
to find the place from which he started.
His awkardness was all the more glaring
when contrasted with tho gracefulness and
ease of General Sherman, who was his
vis a vis. The President evidently flt his
embarrassment, and seemed considerably
agitated.
CUBA AND THE UNITED STATES IN THE
DANCE.
A feature of the ball was the dancmg of
the “German.” When everything had
been arranged Mrs. Admiral Porter and
Miss Lola de Ruiz, a young Cuban of ex
traordinary beauty, the daughter of Do
mingo L. Rutz, representative here of the
patriot Cubans, led off. Miss Ruiz held in
her hand the Cuban flag, while Mrs. Por
ter had a miniature America.! flag, and the
two were united as the dance opened.—
Whether this was symbolic of the annexa
tion of Cuba to the United States, or
whether it was only an incidcntof the dance,
makes little difference. It was remarked
by all present tha’ Miss Ruiz was the belle
of the evening. Her dark eyes and rich,
glossy black hair (plenty of it and all her
own) did powerful execution among the
gaily caparisoned naval officers. She was
dressed in a white corded silk, with a tarle
tan overdress, trimmed! with pink satin.
Her jewels were pearl* and her hair was
dressed with red roses, the whole producing
a striking effect.
SUGAIi CAN BE MIDK FROM SORGHUM
AX 11 WITH GREAT PROFIT.
When at Louisville, Ivy., last week, we
visited the works of the Southern Sorgo
Company', for the purpose of examining
the process by which they manufacture
sugar from sorghum. We have fora long
time believed a process would be discovered
by which, under certain conditions, sugar
could be made from the sorghum, as cer
tainly as it is from the tropical and West
India cane. We were most happily sur
prised, on cur visit to the above named
works, to find our faith so soon realized,
by discoveries that have already been tested
by extensive experience in the successful
manufacture of sugar from the sorghum
plant; and this, too,in quantities that place
it among the most profitable of all crops.
The process by which this is accomplished
has been patented, yet it is very simple,
and without the use of chemicals, or compli
cated machinery; the essential conditions
being chiefly such manipulations as shall
not destroyer injure the granulating prin
ciple naturally existing in the syrup, and
the removal of the gummy or glutinous
matter found in all sorghum molasses.
One of the most interesting features of
the wtfole process is the manner in whieh
the latter objeet is accomplished. The
viscidity in the syrup that makes it stringy,
and to some extent prevents grauulatioa,
is removed by precipitating the ingredient
eausing it in the form of a pulp or coagu
lum, which is easily removed. But we
cannot go into a minute description of the
process —suffice it to say that the entire
machinery that one would necessarily pur
chased. beside the crushing niili. costs only
about one hundred dollars The disagree
able sorghum taste is removed from both
syrup and sugar, and every gallon of syrup
yields from four to six pounds of beautiful
sugar—equal to the best New Orleans
brown, and four to six pounds of syrup.
Mr. J-H. Le:bolt, on whose premises
the works are situated, last year raised 40
acres of this cane. His cropyielded an av
erage of one hundred and fifty gallons of
syrup to the acre, andthesyrup six pounds
of sugar to the gallon.
We have a sample of the sugar tha : any
person desiring to do so can see by calling
at our office; also a pamphlet, containing
the certificates of several agricultural com
mittees and scientific gentlemen who have
examined this process of making sugar.—
The price of the patent, for individual
rights, we understand, is one hundred dol
lars.—Rome Courier.

ed and Granger withdrew. General Swift

as to tho jurisdiction of the Commission

There Is no mistake about it. Planta
tion Bitters will ward off Fever and
Ague and ail kindred diseases, if used in
time. No family need suffer from this dis
tressing complsfiut if they will keep Plan
tation Bitters in the house, and use it ac
cording to directions. The most import
ant ingredient of this medicine is Cali»ava
or Peruvian Bark, which is known to be
the finest and purest tonic in the vegetable
kingdom. The extract of this Bark is ihe
active principle of all the good Fever aud
Ague Medicines prescribed by intelligent
doctors. Calisaya Bark is used extensive
ly iu the manufacture ot' Plantation Bit
ters, as well as quinine, aud we dare say
they owe their popularity mostly to that
fact. We can recommend them.

The Cold Sulphur Springs, Va.
We call the special attention of our read
ers to tho advertisement in our paper to
day of this Summer resort. It is situated
in the mountains of Virginia, in a region
of country famous for the romantic, beau
fid and diversified character of its scenery,
and for the delightful, salubrious and
invigorating nature of its Summer climate.
Being only two miles from the Chesapeake
& Ohio Railroad, it is very convenient of
access. The proprietor presents an assay
of evidence in the form of letti4s and cer
tificates of Eminent Physicians and other
persons of the highest character for integ
rity and intelligence, which is absolutely
irresistible in its nature, and must carry
certain conviction to every miud of the
great and even wonderful remedial vir
tues of the mineral water, which he
brings to the notice ot the public.
The GREENBRIER -WHITE SUL
PHUR, the ROCKRIDGE ALUM, the
SWEET and tho HOT SPRINGS, have
for many years been considered as among
the most valuable of .the medical and
health giving fountains of Virginia and
West Virginia; and undoubtedly merit
their high reputation.
Yet, troiu the certificates published with
the advertisement of the COLD SUL
PHUR SPRINGS, it appears that some
oases of severe intractable maladies for I
the relief of which, even those justly re- I
nowned Mineral Waters had been used 1
in vain, have boon entirely aud perma
nently cured by the Cold Sulphur Water.

MILLVILLE ATMOSPHERIC
FRUIT JAR
HAS been used extensively for several
years with increasing popularity. It
possesses many advantages, among which
are that you can determine whether the
fruit is safe or not without waiting for it to
ferment. Nothing but glass comes in con
tact with the fruit. The Gum Rings are
heavier than in most other jars, and wilt
last for se\ eral years, instead of having to
be renewed yearly. The jar can be open
ed with ease.
These jars are the best and most eco
nomical for family use, for fresh Fruits,
Preserves, Jellies, Jams or Pickles.
