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

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

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

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

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

Major Ward, whom Fannin had sent with one
hundred men to escort some Irish families, was
also captured, and tho Americans wero mas

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

THE INVALID-A PEN PICTURE.
SEE HER PALLID COUNTENANCE, BUT
a short time ago the picture of ruddy health,
the enyy of the school aud the pride of the
household. 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. Do not
shudder because of the feeble and passionless
grasp. The hand once so hearty and plump is
emaciated aud shows bony outlines, while the
cords and tortuous veins aro plainly mapped
upon the surface. Tlio pulse that bounded
with replotion. c&rryirg vigor to the whole
system, and imparting life, beauty, vivacity,
health and strength, is delicate to the touch. —
The feeble heart cannot propel the thin, scanty
blood with force. Must we lose her while yet
in her teens? Companioi sand friends gather
aiound with words of cheer aud consolation,
and depart with moistened eyes aud silent
steps. Must we loso her? No 1 there is relief!
We can stay this destroyer of our happiness
and not suffer the loss of so bright a gem.—
Hornet hing more is required now than dietary
and hygienic observance, for nature calls for
aid and she shall havo it. Take this pleasant
medicine. It is invigorating. How it allays
the irritable cough, improve 1 the appetite and
digestion and sends a healthy (ingle through
the frame. Tho blood is enriched, nervous
force increased, anil the heart bounds with a
now impulse. See her face brighten by de
grees ; tho color is returning, her voice is get
ting clearer, and pleasant words are spoken.—
he strength falters yet, but is gaining. Lot
us take her out in the warm sunshine. In a
short time she will bo able to go without our
aid. a cheerful girl. This delightful medi
cine must be God-blessed. It is restoring
health to our loved one. She is omergiug from
her sickness sweeter and nobler than before,
and Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery
must have the credit. It lias raised her.

says that Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis
covery has effected a wonderful cure of con

WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW.
During the week the market for cotton on
spot has not been very active, yet prices have
materially advanced. During the early part of
the week the market was dull and drooping,
but toward Wednesday and Thursday the fall
ing off in receipts began to bhow speculation
had revived, and prices were yesterday ad
vanced *c. At the first board the improved
tone of foreign markets influenced the export
demand, and most of the sales were effected
during the closing days of the week. Forward
deliveries ruled very sluggish until Wednes
day, when operators were more disposed to do
business, and with conflicting accounts of had
weather at the South, inflation and many other
influences prices steadily improved, but not,
however, without considerable fluctuation deal
ings extended into the new crop, some bales
having been effected for October delivery. The
total sales of the week were 118,866 bales, of
which 106.100 were on contract and 12,766 for
immediate delivery—chiefly for export. Naval
stores have remained more or less nominal, as
the dealings have not been import.
