cCtyvonulc anti Sentinel. WEDNESDAY APRIL 22, 1874. MINOR TOPICS. It is claimed for Mr. 8. O. Taylor, of Brook lyn, that be is tho oldest living organist. Mr. Taylor is 25 years of age and is bhnd, and more than sixty years ago conducted the same cho ruses as now. A man living on a farm in Alabama was or dered by tlio Ku-Klux to leave, but instead of eo doing he remained and shot three of them. H;s neighbors expressed their gratifi cation by electing him county clerk. Ma lame llyacinthe Loyson, the wife of the celebrated Father Hyacinthe. sends an earnest appeal to her sisters in America who aro now engaged in the temperance cause, adjuring them not to be “dismayed by iu-nlt, nor dis couraged by defeat.” Upon the ceiling of the handsome Coemian Hall, recently dedicated at Florence, by the Free Religionists, are the fresco portraits of J hu Brown, standing fc#progrese; of Hum boldt, repre-enting science; of Buticns, sym holi/ ng art, aud of SUakspcare, representing literature. Tin-re was a charitable sewing party in New York the other evening, and during the affair the father of one of the young ladies present appeared on the scene unexpectedly. He was so much gratified at the cleverness exhibited by his daughter with her needle that be then and there resolved that ho would never pay another dressmaker's bill. That young lady has now a strong prejudice against “sewing parties," and says she was an idiot ever to attend such an affair. The auditor’s office in the State of Louisiana must boa hot berth. The New Orleans Pica yarn -ays; “There have been three auditors of the ,-tatc since the adoption of tho Consti tution of lulls. Each of these have been ru;/- jected to criminal and penal prosecutions; two of them have boon consigned to prison, and the last is now before one of our Courts, and will to-day appear to show cause why ho should not be subjecte 1 to imprisonment or other penalty for a violation of law and the orders of a Court.” Mr. .3. 11. finnan, who recently resigned the audi'orsliip of the Erie Railroad, declaring that ho did Jo for the rea-on that ho was unwilling to be ion: er held responsible for tiie falsifica tion of the accounts upon which tlio recent dividend was declared, has addressed a liftter to the l’resideut, acknowledging bis unwilling complicity, and giving details of what ho rep resents to have been tbo secret action of tbo President and officers of the road. We hear great stories of the mammoth fruits arid vegetables of California, but think they will bide tlicir diminished heads at a yam which gsew near Tougatabo, Sandwich Is land.!. This vegetable monster was twelve years in growing, and when ripe weighed a ton. it grew on a spot called Tabud, from a chief of that name who was killed thero. The captain of a wlialo ship obtained permission to take it on board of his ship, but being in terdicted from breaking it up on the shore was forced to leavo it. A correspondent of tlio Boston Journal wrilcs that the news of Mr. Sumner's death was received in llayti with profound demon strations of Morrow. On March 20th a funeral Hnrvico was performed in memory of the Sciia tor at tbo Cathedral, and minute guns wero fired all day from flio forte and by the navy. The President, hie Cabinet, tlio foreign COll -and all the Govorninent officials and the army united with the people m the service. The news of tlio Had event waH received by the Uavtienfl aH a national calamity. The 27th of Mai oh wan the anniversary of the bloodiest tragedy in American history. On that day, thirty-eight years ago, Colonel James W Fannin and four hundred and forty-five men wero shot todoath by tlio Mexicans under Urea, in the fort at Goliad, Texas. A.week be fore, Fannin and his force, being surrounded by tho enemy and at the mercy of their ar tillery, surrendered and were taken to Goliad. Major Ward, whom Fannin had sent with one hundred men to escort some Irish families, was also captured, and tho Americans wero mas sacred together on a Sunday morning. A curious caso, illustrative of the magnifi cent meanness of certain kinds of human na turn, haH lately c; me before a Urooklyn Court. Home seventeen years since ono William Baker erased a name from a will ami substituted his own. By this lie fell heir to SIOO,OOO worth of property, upon which as collateral ho raised SOO,OOO borrowed money. lie now refuses to pay the $60,000 because tbo bill was fraudu lent, brazenly admitting that ho had substitu ted bis own for another man's name. Uodor tho limitation statutes he cannot bo punishod. In all Court records, from tbo earliest times, wo doubt whether an example of meanness and criminal sharpness equal to this can bo found. Tbo present average price of Now York leg islators is put down by Thurlow Wood—and ho should know ; ho lias had experience at two hundred and fifty dollars. Some votes range ns low as fifty dollars. Vanderbilt is known to run the presold Legislature, and. since Tweed's misfortune, is King of tlio Lobby. Says Mr. Wood : "1 ho members divide themselves into little gangsfivory much as laborers are divided w hen engaged in a largo piece of work. Each of these gangs has its leader—somo tnau like Harry Genet, for example who is responsible for tho aggregate vote of tho gang. Negotia tions are always made with those leaders, who distribute tlio money.” Secretary llichardson’s pitiable exhibition before tlio Sanborn investigating Committeo lias either driven tho journals of his party iti o profound silence or indignant protest con cerning him. Tho Worcester Spy says tlio Ueoretary and liis subordinates ought to resign at oiloe, since tlio country can have no confi dence in their honesty or capacity; and m re gard to tho abilities of the eminent discoverer of ths $5 resumption scheme it has tho cold blooded cruelty to remark: “Few people ever believed that Mr. Richardson was fit for tho of fice. lie was respectable in a smaller place, but tho requirements of his present high of fice made liis small talents look ridiculously meager, not to speak of tho grave reasons for suspecting that lack of talents is not liis most serious deficiency.” Tlio fo'lowing curious occurrence tool; placo recently at tho Saloutonski circus, of Berlin. During a pause in the performance a fashion ably dressed man deconded into tho arena and made a sign to the actors, tho musicians and tho public. Somo important communication was exported ; the performance ceased and profound silence onsued. The new-comer then cried out in a strong voice, ‘' Is the midwife Hermann here?” The question produced a shout of laughter; but as soon as the merri ment had subsided, another voice from the second tier replied in tho affirmative. The querist, perfectly undisturbed, then said, *' Hasten to the Ceristrasse, No. —. where you are exported with impatience.” He then rotired majestically, without caring about tho sensa tion caused by this unexpected dialogue. Tho incident was tho great success of the evening. A great variety of articles, including grain bags, w agon covers, floor covers, ropes, sails. Ac., are made in Russia from tho inner bark of the bass-wood or linden tree, a million of troes being destroyed annually in tho manufacture, and the value of the articles produced amount ing to $2,400,000. Tho bark is collected by the peasants, iu May and Juno, when the ascent of tho tap renders peeling easy. 'I hat of tho lower part of tho trunk, generally employed for rooting, is obtained in pieces about 5$ by 3$ feet, aud is warmed, and pressed to pre vent its curling. That of the upper part of tho trunk and of the blanches is tied in bun dles and rotted under water until September, when it is dried by aid of boat and separated into thin, delicate stripe, snitable for weaving ■ into matting, and varying m weight according to the use to bo made of it. Tho heaviest is sold at Nislini Novgorod Fair at about $24 per hundred weight. A Washington correspondent of tho Spring field lb publican relates somo interesting gos sip about tho Sanborn contracts and the emi nent statesmen mixed up iuthem. He says few persons doubt that Butler in some way partici pated iu the rich results, and adds: "There are Republicans hero who think that there was a 'ring - formed in tho Treasury Department and outside of it for the purpose of making money ; but I cannot bohevo that Boutwell, Richardson and Sawyer did anything worse than to close their eyes and lot other people rob the Treasury. One would suppose that Mr. Richardson would have to go after these developments, blit tliffi) is no telling what General Grant will do. lie cares very little for public opinion, and there is a feeling here that Butler compels him to retain Richardson. There can ho no doubt that somo of the worst of tho President ’a mistakes have been in stigated by Butler and Crinkling, and. if they want Richardson to stay, tho American people will have to endure him till the eml of the present Presideutiat term.” "The hissing had affected her health and nearly broken her heart, and when she left the stage on different occasions she hail nearly criod her eyes out.” These were tho pathetic words with which Miss Kate Sautiey, a pretty ; Loudon actress, concluded her complaint be- ] fore a magistrate of that metropolis against Mile. Rose Bell, an actress of opera bouffewho may be possibly remembered in New York. The English actress and the French actress were both engaged at the Alhambra Theatre, and it was charged by the former that the latter had engaged iu a conspiracy with a number of ruf fians to hiss her off the stage whenever she ap peared. That there was a gang of men. headed by one Carlo, an admirer of Rose Bell, who nightly hissed Miss Sautiey, was made clear; hut as there seemed to be some doubt as to Bose Bell's complicity in this foul plot, the magistrate adjourned the case for further in quiry. The divine right of private judgment probably involves the right of expressing an opinion, even by hissing; hut people should not go to theatres for the express purpose of hissing; and men must have stony hearts in deed who hiss to such an extent as to affect the hissee’s health, nearly break her heart, and cause her to almost cry her pretty eyes out. COTTON. Business of the Past Week. The cotton market during the past week ruled steady, with a fair demand. At the beginning of the week middling was quoted at 15j, and yesterday at 16), an advance of a half cent. The total receipts for the week were 1,357 bales, an increase of 260 bales over the corresponding week of last year. The sales were 2,518 baies, an in crease of 1,609 bales over the same week of last year. The receipts the present season,to date foot up 191,816 bales, an excess of 24,191 bales over the receipts last season to April 18. The shipments during the week were 2,414 bales; same week last year, 1,014 bales. Estimated stock on hand, 16,461 bales. The total receipts at all the ports du ring the week, were 38,262 bales. The total receipts this week last year were 55,940 bales. The total sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 15,000 bales, of which 9,000 were American. Middling up lands, 8) 1.; middliug Orleans, B,J. DEATH OF A BTUANGEB. A Young Man from Illinois Dies in the City Hospital. Last Thursday, about eleven o’clock, \ a large cotton wagon stopped in front of the City Hospital on Walker street. The driver walked into the building and informed Mr. Rich, the janitor, that there was a sick man in the wagon who desired admittance into the institution. Upon inquiries as to whether he had a permit to enter the hospital, Mr. Rich was answered in the negative. Being satisfied, however, that the man was very ill, Mr. Rich very properly decided to take the responsibility of receiving him into the hospital. He was there fore lifted out of the wagon, carried into the hall and seated on a chair. Oa be ing interrogated as to his name the poor fellow said that he was too sick to talk and wished to lie down. He was at once placed on a bed and every thing done to make him comfortable. About half-past two o’clock he was seized with a congestive chill and ex pired in a few minutes, without having given any information as to liis name or where he was from. From letters found on Lis person, however, it was ascertain ed that liis name was James M. Annan, and that lie was originally from Mor rison, Illinois. There were four of these letters, all commencing “.My Dear Broth er,” and signed “Katie.” They were couched in the most affectionate lan guage, and made frequent mention of the anxiety of Annan’s mother iu regard to liis situation. The last letter was dated April Ist, 1871. There was also found on the person of the deceased a memoran dum book, from the detached notes in which we surmise that Annan was an employee of a traveling circus company, and was compelled to leave it in its pro gress through Georgia, on account of failing health. The last memoranda in tlio book indicate that after quitting the circus he stopped in Jefferson county, in this State, and obtained board at a private house. The letters referred to above are all directed to James M. An nan, Stellaville,‘Jefferson county, Ga. The conclusion is that his health be came so bad that tho party with whom lie was staying at Stellaville determined to send him to this city, where he could be admitted to the hospital and obtain proper medical treatment, hence his ar rival at that institution Thursday. The driver of the wagon gave no informa tion in regard to him, but drove off im mediately after leaving him at tho hos pital. Besides the letters and book, twenty-three dollars in money were found in one of the pockets of the de ceased. This money was used to defray the funeral expenses. The Young Men’s Christian Associa tion took charge of the remains and ar ranged for tho funeral, which took place at ten o’clock yesterday morning. The funeral services were performed by Rev. Dr. Irvine, of the Presbyterian Church. A prominent physician of this city who saw Annan says that he was suffer ing from consumption. He was greatly emaciated. He was apparently about twenty-two years of age. An Extosion. —A gentleman from the country came in to town a few days ago and bought, among other articles, a fine large cooking stove. On packing liis purchases into his wagon our friend slipped several of the smaller packages, including a bundle of gunpowder, in side the stove. Reaching his domicil, the stove was put in its proper place in the kitchen, a lire lighted, coffee boiled, and every thing went “merry as a marrage bell.” On the following morning, how ever, the good wife put her biscuits in to bake and drew out the baking dam per, which lnid not been touched the night previous; and she and her Ims bifnd had just loft the kitchen, when they heard a terrific explosion. They thought that the eruption of Bald Mountain had commenced, and as soon us they could collect their scattered senses went back into the kitchen to see what was the matter; here they found a scattered stove which was not so easily collected as their scattered senses. In fact there were several more pieces of it than 4he manufacturer had originally put together. After some difficulty, however, these were all gathered up and the gentleman came back to town and wanted to make a contract with a dealer in stoves to rebuild it; but the latter had to decline the job, as nearly every piece had a hole stove in it, and he could not, therefore, make a whole stove out of them. Fortunately nobody was hurt. Anniversaries in April.— April sth, 1805, Richmond evacuated and occupied by the Federals; April 10, 1862, Island No. 10 surrendered and the battle of Pittsburg Landing was fought, and 1861 Virginia seceded; April 9tli, 1865, Gen. Lee surrendered; 12th, Fort Sumter was first bombarded; 13th, 1865, Sherman occupied Raleigli and Lynchburg sur rendered; 14th, Lincoln assassinated; 15th, Andrew Johnson inaugurated; 16th, 1862, all North Caroliua forts and arsenals taken by the Confederates, and iu 1865 President Davis captured in Georgia; 19th, 1861, Massachusetts sol diers attacked in Baltimore; 20th, 1861, Gosport Navy Yard at Portsmouth evac uated and burned and Harper’s Ferry burned; 23d, 1802, Federals opened the Mississippi river; 26th (Confederate me morial day), in 1865, General Joe John ston surrendered; April 28th, 1865, J. Wilkes Booth was shot, and in 1862 Ad miral Farragut captured New Orleans. Many other smaller events occurred iu this month. Captured Ledger.—A Washington letter says the Senate Committee on Claims has before it a singular petition from one Frank Arnim, of Arnim’s Heights, S. C. Arnim claims that he captured the last ledger of the Southern Confederacy, and delivered it to the Treasurer of the United States iu 1867. He says that through tho information contained iu the ledger the Government obtained a lot of Confederate gold which had been secretly transferred from Andersonville to Augusta. He in timates that he ought to have 86,000 for this. The committee applied to Gen. Spinner, the Treasurer, for information on the subject. General Spinner writes that the gold spoken of was captured two years before the ledger was re ceived by him, although he says the ledger contained some valuable infor mation. Injunction Against the City.—We mentioned the fact some time since that several prominent and wealthy fire in surance companies, having agencies in this city, had applied, through their counsel, Salem Butcher, Esq., to his Honor Judge William Gibson, of the Superior Court of Richmond county, for au injunction restraining the city from collecting the annual license tax of two huudred and fifty dollars upon each company. Argument in the case was had yesterday morning before Judge Gibson, Mr. Dutcher representing the plaintiffs, andJas. C. C. Black aud H. Clay Foster, Esqs., the defendant. Judge Gibson reserved his decision. A Town Marshal Shot.—Last Fri day eveuiug, after the adjournment of Warren Superior Court, at Warrenton, as Mr. B. F. Barfield, the Marshal of the village, was returning home, lie was shot at twice fr*m behind a corner. Both loads, small shot, took effect iu his person, indicting painful wounds. Jludge Pottle, of the Superior Court, ordered a vigorous search made for the parties who were engaged in the dastardly at tack. This led to the arrest by the sheriff and a posse of citizens of B. H. Ivey and George Felts ae accessories to the deed. These two young men were carried before Judge Pottle aud bound over under boud of a thousand dollars each to appear before him on Thursday, the 30th iust., for a heariug. -« Fatal Accident. Last Thursday morning as the up passenger train on the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad was approaching Morrow's, eleveu miles this side of Charlotte, a colored road haud named Davis attempt ed to jump aboard, but slipped and fell under the ears, the wheels passing over liis legs and severing them near the knees. The wounded man was carried to Columbia by the down train. He died Thursday night from thee Sect of his injuries. Davis had been drinking freely for some time, and the accident is attributed to that cause. Taris, April 18.—Ledru Rollin is suf fering from heart disease. Abstinence from politics is advised. THE CLERK OF THE A Visit to the United States Signal Office in Augusta. Yesterday afternoon we paid a visit to the United States Signal Office at this point, sitnated in the third story of the brick building corner of Broad and Mc- Intosh streets, and through the courtesy of Mr. A. N. Lane, the signal officer in charge of this station, were enabled to inspect the various scientific instru ments used by the service. We are indebt ed to Mr. Lane for interesting particu lars in regard to these, and the manner of taking observations. The instru ments are all of the most approved pat tern. Green’s Mercurial Barometer. This is one of the most perfect instru ments of the kind in the world, and its acuracy is said to be wonderful. It has been adopted by the signal service and is used at all the stations. The mercury in the cistern of the instrument is at each observation adjusted to an ivory pivot, the readings being taken to inches and as low as thousandths of an inch upon a fixed scale. At each observation a correction for temperature of mercury and for that of elevation above sea level and for that of capillary error is made, so as to reduce the reading to a uniform standard. Green’s Hygrometer Consists of two thermometers, the bnll) of one being kept continually wet by means cf a wick attached to the bulb and extending into a metal cup fixed to the frame of tho thermometer, and the bulb of the second thermometer being always dry. Thus the dry bulb ther mometer always shows the temperature of the air, while the other being con tinually wet always stands lower than the drv. This difference between the dry and wet bulbs only measures strict ly tho evaporating power of the air, but from this and the differences between the reading of each thermometer is by a nice series of calculations reduced the per eentage of moisture in the atmos phere. Green’s Self-Registering Maximum anil Minimum Thermometers. The maximum is mercurial aud so constructed that when the atmosphere lias reached its maximum heat the mer cury cannot flow back, so that no mat ter how sudden tho change' from heat to cold it shows what has been the greatest degree of heat obtained. The minimum is a spirit thermometer, and has insert ed in the tube a steel index. As the heat increases the spirits flow on past the index, which, as it increases, draws the index downward by capillary action, and no matter what the degree ofbbes,a f , tins index invariably stands at the low est temperature. These instruments are set at the time of taking what is known as the midnight observation, and have to stand at the temperature shown by the exposed thermometer at that time. The Exposed Thermometer. This is just what its name indicates and is also of Green’s manufacture, and is used for discovering the existing tem perature. All these instruments are ex ceedingly sensitive to atmospheric change. Robinson’s Anemometer. The little cups which are seen whirl ing around on the top of Gray’s build ing, day after day, play a very important part, as they furnish the means for noting the velocity and force of the wind. Tlio arms on which these cups are connect with a movable spindle, at the bottom of which is an endless screw, which imparts motion to a system of delicate cogs, springs and wheels; these move a double dial (outer and inner), the inner dial indicating a distance of 990 miles by 99 intervals or spaces of ten miles each and being marked so as to show tens of hundreds of miles; the outer dial indicates miles and tenths of each time that the cups make 550 revo lutions. One mile is checked on the outer dial, when ten miles it is checked on the inner, so that at a glance can be seen on tlieir dials the number of miles of wind which lias passed, and by a very simple calculation its velocity per hour. Still the Signal Service Department thought this was not complete enough; that it did not bring it to a fine enough point. So to the cup arrangement is at tached an electrical apparatus, the in vention of Lieut. Gibbon, of the Signal Service, which registers upon a sheet of paper each mile. This is registered upon the sheet with a pencil in such manner that one can see at a glance the velocity of the wind at any space of five minutes—the sheet being so ruled as to show the hours of the day from 12, m., to 12, m., and each intermediate five minutes. Stations. Observations are taken at each station in the United States and twelve Cana dian stations at the same moment of actual (not local) time—the a. m. at 7:35, the p. in. at 4:35, the midnight at 11, p. m., all Washington time. Immediately on being taken they are telegraphed to Washington, and from there sent to the stations for publication, so that within an hour from the taking of the observa tions at all tho stations the reports are written on manifold, and ready for dis tribution in such places as to meet tho eye of the public. Augusta Bulletins. Tho synopsis of the weather for the jiast twenty-four hours and the proba bilities for the next twenty-four are printed on circulars each night and mailed the next morning to various sta tions on the different railroads. This is done principal y for the benefit of farm ers. Daily bulletins, containing reports of the state of the thermometer and barometer, the force and velocity of the wjud and the condition of the weather at a number of places in different sec tions of the United States, are struck off at the office and posted at five or six places in the city. Local observations are taken three times during the day. At 3 o’clock each day the temperature of the river is tested with a thermometer made espe cially for that purpose, and the result noted down with the other observations. Mr. Lane is an efficient officer, and has greatly added to the usefulness of this station of the Signal Service Bureau since he has taken it in charge. He is ably seconded by three assistants. Four Legged Chicken.—We learn that Mr. Heath, who lives on tho corner of Calhoun and Twiggs street, is the happy owner of a four legged chicken. This queer production of nature was hatched about two months ago aud is iu a thriving condition. Two of its legs aro not used by it in walking. An Alabama Poker Hand. Tuscumbia, Ala., March 28, 1574. Mr. John Glades—The following is an incident of recent occurrence which, we think down here, would not bo en tirely devoid of interest to you: The parties to it wero Bill J , the Sheriff of our county (Colbert), who, like yourself, is a zealous Christian poker-player, who would “straddle” your “blind” quicker than he would his horse “Ephraim” to serve a process, aud says he would rather beat a “Jack-full” for you than capture the whole of the “Gad’s Hill gang,” and a prosperous Teutonic merchant of our town named S . The two were traveling on the cars, and, in order to pass away the time, engaged in a game of euchre. After playing some time the jolly Dutch man left his seat to get a drink of water, and Bill, knowiug that he, too, had a penchant for poker, took advantage of liis absence aud dealt him a haud with four kings in it, and turned up the queen for a trump. Returning in a mo ment and lifting his haud, S. at once conceived the brilliant idea of playing the hand at poker, and accordingly sug gested it to Bill, who consented, pro vided that he might be allowed to dis card one of liis cards and take up tho queen. To this S. at once agreed, and the game proceeded. Bays S.: “Bill, I bets you five dollar.” In turn Bill, raised him ten more. “Well,” said S., “fifteen dollar will joost pay mine ex pense und some odder tings, and I calls you, Bill;”sat the same time exhibiting his hand with four kings, aud reaching for the money. “Hold on,” says Bill “I have four aces.’” Nervously, and in sileuce, the astonished Dutchman gath ered the cards and shuffled them for a moment or two. Then, with his chin resting on both clenched bauds aud his eyes staring into uncertainty, he ex claimed : “I say Bill, now joost you told me rot de h-ll dot queen had to do mit dot hand t” And up to this good hour his mind is perplexed continually to find the part that card had plaved iu the game. X. X. OVERFLOW OF THE MISSISSIPPI. Damage to Property and Crops. New Orleans, April 18.—The river has fallen one foot. There are other crevasses reported above. There were four and a half inches of rain fall for the twenty-four hours ending 6 o'clock last night. Memphis, April 18.—Tho heavy rains for the past few days have not only keen destructive to the planting interest, but, with the floods in the various rivers, damaging to tho different railroads cen tering here. Raleigh, N. C., April 17. Private dispatches from Western Carolina report heavy rumblings in Bald and Stone Mountains on Tuesday last, and that th trembling of the earth was felt for more than a huudred miles. The shocks are more severe than before, and it is be lieved by scientists that an eruption is eminent. Local and Business Notices.

She was always welcomed by her schoolmates, for her lithe form and pleasing disposition carried cheerfulness into their ranks. Diligent, punctual and exemplary, obe dient and graceful at home, she wo.i the hearts of all. But, alas, we are sorrowed. Those rosy cheeks and ruddy lips are blanched by consumption. Tbe voice once so enchanting in laugh and song is feeble, husky and sup planted by a hollow cough. Let us approach her couch gently and take her hand.
