At & Sunday school pic-nic near Knoxville the
other day there wasn't any real enjoyment for

One drawback to publishing a newspaper in
Colorado is the fact that teamsters steal the
printers' ink to giease their wagon with.
Jwmes Gray, of Vernon, wrote her : “I love
you as the tempest loves the placid lake.” and
now she is obliged to sue him for breach of
promise.
An iow i schoolmaster is missing. The last

see where he would strike.
Nine rimes out of ten if a young man in Ala

The native grace of General Butler's manner
was never more aptly shown than in his flatter
ing reply to an inv.tation to hear Mr. Curtis
eulogy on Sumner, that he was glad of “any
excuse to get away from Washington.”
When a man goes to Morrison. 111., he wants
pickles. Ho it would appear, at least, from the
fact that the town is clamorous for the estab
lishment of a factory to make these relishes on
a large scile— impatient for its sour and its
man to come.
The inventor of the Galling gun is about to
have himself tied to the muzzle of his inven
tion and shot. His aberration was brought on
by seeing a telegram from Han’ Francisco an
nouncing the departure of “a lot of Gatling
grass” for Japan.
A school boy being requested to write a com
position upon the subject of •Tins,’’ produced
the following : “Pins are very useful. They
have saved the lives of a great many wo
men and children—in fact, whole families.”
‘•How so ?" asked the puzzled teacher. And
the hoy replied, “Why, by not swallowing
them.” This matches the story of the other
boy, who defined salt as “the stuff that makes
[Kitatoes taste bad when you don’t put on any.” :
Five years ago Miss Gaylord, of Boston, and j
her sister started from Denver in their own
carriage on a wonderful journey sf 13,000 j
miles, which having accomplished, they re- ,
turned to that city safe and sound. They have j
visited every camp, settlement, village, and i
city in the Western Territories and on the
Pacific coast. Miss Gaylord now starts for !
Australia, where she will spend the next two j
years in a similar exploration journey.
That was a thoroughly Krenchy piece of wit
that 'lliiers is reported to have said when some
. one was talking to him about the political af
fairs of Franco. “Don’t say France,” inter
rupted the veteran statesman, “call it the
Dpcdiy of Magenta." In view of the tremen
dous effort that is beiug made to give the
Duke of Magenta the powers of an autocrat,
the ex-Presidcut of France fai.ly epitomized
the situation in this hit of pungent sarcasm.
Two young ladies of Chicago, daughters of a
respectable physician there, have been ar
rested for carrying on a wholosalo confidence
game by. collecting money in the name of a
local half-orphan asylum. It is estimated that
they have collected $33,000 during the year, or
more, in which the game has hoen going on.
The thing worked well enough until they ran
against the same victim twice, and then came
the collapse.
The villago of Tid outo, Pennsylvania, is
now lighted with gas made from petroleum.
The success of the experiment incomplete. The
gas has a higher illuminating power than that
made from coal, and goes further, the con
sumption per hour to prodiica a light equal to
that of coal gas being fifty p r cent. less. The
cost is not more than one-ha f per thousand
cubic feet of that of coal gas. The only ques
tion of doubt in connection wiili petroleum gas
is, whether the supply of the crude article can
bo kept up and at as steady prices as coal aver
ages.
Mr. H. W. Torley, of Oswego, Illinois,'thinks
lie lias solved the transportation problem. Ho
would construct an elongated grain elevator, j
built to lie horizontally instead of standing ;
perpendicularly, which should extend from j
Chicago to Now York and bo operated l>y sta- i
tionary engines ten miles apart. The belt \
should run on pulleys placed at its side, iustoad
or houealh it. and ho constructed of wire
cable. Oneo in operation, tho horizontal ele
vator could pour a continuous stream of grain
into New York, moving at the rate of four miles
an hour.

We learn from tho London correspondent of
tho New Y'ork World that tho trustees of the
infant Sir Albert Tiehborne have askod Parlia
ment to authorize thorn to mortgage the es
tate in order to raiao tho money which the
Orton trials cost tho proceedings which began
in chancery and ended with the non-suit of the
claimant in tho Court of Common Pleas. The
amount of these costs aro .£92,000, and they
w 11 burden the estate for many long years to
como. The cost of the criminal prosecution,
which tho Government has paid, was £55,000;
’ that it has cost £147,000, or $735,000, to
thwart the designs of tho rascal who is now
learning the trade of a tailor at Millbauk
prison.
Tho City llegistrar of Charleston, South
Carolina, furnishes the latest evidence of tho
deeadenco of tho race for which Congress
would jeopardize tho liberties of the white peo
ple and the peace of tho country. He shows
that the rato of mortality among tho colored
population is twice as great as among the
white inhabitants. Tho number of deaths in
that city from May 1, 1873. to May 1, 1874, was
1.555. The population of Charleston is some
50,000. of whom about 24,000 aro whites and
20,000 are, blacks. Tho deaths among the
whites were (85 in number, and among the,
blacks 1,070. This gives a mortality rate of a
little over two per oont. for the white, and :
m ue than four and one-tenth per cent, for the
colored population.
The Troy Times tells this for a fact: “A j
ludicrous econo was witnessed on a Bensselaer J
and Saratoga train the other day. A newly- |
inarm and couple entered the ear and took a seat.
The husband, wanting to smoke, left his wife j
and wont into the smoking car. Tho bride
began to doze, and while she slept a stranger j
entered the car. and, as it was crowded, quietly !
took a seat beside tho young wife. Shortly j
she began to nod, and. doubtless imagining
that her husband was still in the seat, gently
reclined toward the stranger, and soon her
heart foudly nestled in his breast. At this
Juncture the husband returned. He stood in
mute astonishment in the aisle until the lady
awoke, and realizing the situation, drew back
in amazement, suffused with blushes. Stran
ger explained, husband was satisfied, and wife
tried hard to appear unconcerned."
England's revenge for the Crimean war was
terrible on the occasion of the Czar's late visit, i
From the moment he lauded at Dover to his
embarkation at Gravesend, the poor man was
the victim of music in its most blatant form.
Trumpeters blasted him. drummers drummed
him, vocalists sung at him," huge families of j
wind instruments (various) coalesced to deafen :
him, choirs gathered "in their thousands" to l
shout at him. and round every comer a hand
lay in wait to pelt him with the Russian uation- I
al anthem. He was played to when dining at
the Crystal Palace ; ho ate his chop a' Buck
ingham Palace aliile one of the Godfreys
waved his baton outside ; another Godfrey
met him at the Guildbail. where, also, four
trumpeters received him on the threshold. It
is only necessary to announce that tho Czar
hates music.
Somebody with a good memory was prompted
by the statement that Massachusetts has now
two judges on the bench of the Court of claims
—Loving and Richardson— to institute a com
parison as to the causes that placed them
there. Judge Loriug was appointed by Presi
dent Pierce, twenty years ago. to “vindicate' .
him from the unanimous censure of a Massa- j
ohusetts Legislature for conduct, as a Massa
chusetts judge, in a fugitive slave case. Rich- >
ardsou was appointed by president Grant to
“vindicate him from the unanimous ceusure
by the people. Perhaps Loriug made a stir in :
his time. His name may even have been in
the newspapers and on the public tongue. But 1
be has faded into obscurity. Scarcely anc
body remembers that he existed in pub'.ic life.
It may be that Mr. Richardson has turned with i
relief to the same welcome grave.
The fact that New Orleans is fast losing its
former prestige as the leading commercial citv
of the South and West, aud that she must
Boon lose her proud title, “The Queeu of the
Gulf," is realiz and by none there acutely than
by the people them -elves of that unfortunate
metropolis of a more unfortunate State. The
New Orleans Times, of recent date, has & man
ly article exhorting the people of that city not
to sit down and weep over their misfortunes,
as the nutse seem to be doing, hut to bestir
themselves, to be hopeful and to exert all
their energies to bring back those better days. 1
It charges the most of its calamities, as well as
those of Louisiana, to that despotism by which
they have been caused, and under which no
city or country in the world could prosper. To
remove their troubles, it says, the honest peo_ j
pie of all classes, nationalities and colors, must
cease their indifference in the matter of having i
an honest, competent government, and unite ■
in sleeting honest mm to office.
A FE3TIVK BURGLAR.
He Replies toPWtjil Shots with Brick
bats.
Last Friday night, abont 1 o’clock, a
little white boy named Smith, living
with his mother in a small house belong
ing to,Mr. Keneikt, about one hundred
yards this side of South Boundary
street, near Twiggs, was awakened by a
I noise at the window of his room. Ou
! looking in that direction he discovered
a negro, dressed in light clotliing, in the
act of raising the sash. The little fellow,
who is abont eleven years old, imme
diately took aim with a revolver
at the burglar, who was standing
on the fence outside, and fired
twice. The negro thereupon go"
down off the fence into the road. A
negro boy living in the yard went
around to where the burglar was, when
the latter tore a board off the fence ad
struck him with it. He then walked off
a short distance, picked up a brick, aud
threw it at the house. Just at this time
Policeman B. F. Johnson came up.—
Hearing a noise as if someone was
breaking a brick across the road, the
night being too dark for him to see any
distance, ha walked in the direction
of the noise and on getting close up to
the place from which it proceeded, dis
covered the negro. He then slipper!
quietly back to the house and hid be
hind a tree box to watch the burglar.
The latter soon made his appearance,
with a brickbat in his hand. When he
was about ten feet from the tree box,
I’oliccman Johnson stepped out and or
dered him to halt, at the same time
pointing his pistol at him. Instead of
obeying the order, the negro ran. Po
liceman Johnson then fired, but does
uot know whether the ball took effect or
not. The darkness was so intense that
the negro effected his escape.
The Cuop.4.—Capt. Roswell King,
Secretary of the Augusta Exchange, has
received two answers to the circulars
sent out by the Exchange, asking for
information in regard to the crops, one
from Cherokee and the other from
Brooks county. In the former it is
stated that the acreage in cotton is
about the same as last year, and an in
crease of fifteen per cent, compared with
1872. The planting season has closed.
There is an increase of ten per cent, in
the acreage of com, wheat, oats and
hay, compared with last year, and an in
crease of twelve and a half per cent,
compared with 1872. The labor force
has increased five per cent, compared
with 1873, and ten per cent, compared
with 1872. There is some improvement
in field laborers in industry and thrift.
Planting operations as applied to cotton,
have been ten days later than last year.
The cotton crop will fall off twenty-five
per cent., as sixty per cent, less of fer
tilizers art! used this yea; - than last. The
yield of wheat will be fifty jier cent,
more than last year.
In Brooks county the acreage in cot
tou is twenty per cent, less than last j
year. The cotton planting season has
closed. Corn and oats about one-third
more than last year. Corn planting has
been completed. The labor force is
about the same as in 1873. Field labor
ers are less reliable, compared with the
past two seasons, and prefer “jobbing
around.” The cotton plant is two weeks
behind in size as compared to same date
last year. The cotton is all up and the
stand bad in many places. Corn is
rather small, but healthy aud promises
well. Oats have been injured a little by
rust, though the prospect is better than
it was a short time ago. On the whole
a fair average crop is now housed.
Np.ono Drowned.—A negro man named
Stephen Jackson was drowned in the
river, near tho foot of Kollock street,
yesterday afternoon, about four o’clock.
Jackson and another negro, named John
Bateman, came up the river from Brad
ford's barn early yesterday morning,
with a lot of fish, vhich they sold and
divided the money, Jackson receiving
five dollars and ninety cents. Both
afterwards partook freely of whisky,
Bateman, by his own confession, taking
ten drinks, tiis comrade, he says, only
took two drinks, but the circumstances
under which he was drowned show that ho
muot have taken more. At three o’clock
the two men got in a boat at the South
Carolina Railroad Bridge aud started up
the river. Bateman laid down in the
bottom of the boat aud went to sleep,
while Jackson paddled. When nearly
opposite Kollock street, Jackson was
seen to fall backwards into the river by
a small white boy, named Clifton Scott,
who was in a boat about twenty yards
distant. Tho boy paddled quickly up
to the other boat aud endeavored to
arouse the sloepiug negro, in order that
lie might save the drowning man. Bate
man, however, was took drunk to be
waked. Clifton saw Jackson rise to the
top ol' tho water once, wave his arms
aud go under again. He rose no more.
The boy then went up the river a short
distauce, landed and informed Dir.
Jacob Keener of tho occurrence. Dir.
Keener proceeded to the scene of the
accident and took tho body of the
drowned man out of tho water. Coro
ner Cox held an inquest over the body
about seven o’clock. The jury, of which
Dir. Jlenry Kennedy was foreman, re
turned tua following verdict:
“We, the jury, find that the deceased,
Stephen Jackson, Game to liis death
from accidental drowning, "
A Dlodeu Apiary. On last Sunday
afternoon we paid a visit to the apiary
of Dr. J. P. H. Brown, at his farm near
this city. It is probably the finest and
best managed in this section, and amply
demonstrates the advantages of the ap
plication of scientific principles over the
old-fashioned or “ gum” system. Dr.
Brown has a hundred colonies of Italian
bees—beautiful insects and great work
ers. In one hive alone we found sixty
pounds of honey, although about the
same quantity had been taken from the
combs a few weeks previous. Instead
of taking away wax aud honey, putting
the bees to extra trouble, Dr. Brown ex
tracts the honey thoroughly by a patent
“ extractor” and places the frames with
the combs back in the hive, so that the
industrious little workers have only to
refill the cells. The Italian bees are
much superior to the ordinary or black
bee, and are gradually supplanting the
latter. Dr. Brown uses the “frame
hive,” aud is enabled to handle his bees
and exstract honey without any danger
of being stung. Besides the colonies
referred to, the Doctor has also a num
ber of micleua swarms for the purpose
of raising queens. Under this system
the bees are not allowed to swjfm natu
rally and much trouble is avoided in
consequence. The subject is a very in
teresting one, and with the Doctor’s kind
explanations, absorbed our attention in
a very pleasant manner. Bee raising is
becoming more popular throughout the
country as the years advance and the
people become convinced that the sys
tem followed by their ancestors was
wrong and the mode ru scientific method
right. Dr. Brown has act a good exam
ple, which we feel assured will be fol
lowed by others.
Singular Accident to a Horse.—
Yesterday morning Dlr. Dlelville J.
Branch, of this city, drove his horse—
attached to a buggy—up to the Locks.
In the afternoon, preferring to come
back to the city in cue of the boats, he
turned the horse and buggy over to
Lieut. Wm. R. Walton. When Lieut.
Walton got iu the buggy at the Locks
the horse refused to go, aud commenced
backing. Perceiving that they were about
to go over a high bank, Lieut Walton
gave the animal a cut with the buggy
whip, when it jnmpedsnddeuly forward,
breaking the traces. With the assis
tance of a colored boy, these were soon
mended, and Lieut, Walton, accompa
nied by the boy, came ou towards the
city. The horse proceeded without auy
trouble until a spot a short distance
this side of Rae’s creek was reached,
when the colored boy tapped the ani
mal siigbtlv with the reins. It iustant
ly kieke t at the dashboard, and stopped.
Lieut. Walton then got out, and told the
boy to drive on for a short distance in
order to see whether the horse would of
fer any further trouble. The boy cluck
ed to the animal when it reared tip and
fell back ou the shafts, one of which ran
iuto its left side near the shoulder,
about a foot. The wounded liofse then
broke loose from the buggy, which was
uot injured, ran back towards the creek,
for about a hundred yards, and fell
down aud died. It was quite dead
when Lieut. Walton, who ran towards it
as quickly as possible, reached it. The
boy who was driving at the time of the
accident is said to be a very careful
driver.
In Search of Work.—Three French
immigrants came to this city last Friday
afternoon, and are iu search of work.
Two are skilled mechanics and the other
is a field laborer. They claim that they
were shamefully imposed upon and
swindled by au immigration agency in
South Carolina. They are anxious to
obtain work in this city.
A Large Rattlesnake.—Mr. Thomas
Wynne killed, on his place near Bel-
Air, a day or two ago, a rattlesnake
treasuring four feet eight inches in
length. His snakeship's tail was orna
mented with ten rattles and a button,
showing that his age was thirteen years.
There is a whole chapter of history iu
that snake’s tail.
A. J. Montgomery and J. Harris (col
ored) formerly slaves in the South, have
left the Connecticut literary institution
at SuffivlJ where they were students,
because they were not allowed longer to
sit at meals with the other students, as
they have done for a year and a half,
during which time they had faithfully
discharged their duties as janitors.
LETTER FROM ATLAXTI.
[SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE CHRONICLE AND
SENTINEL. 1
Atlanta, Ga, June 10, 1874.
Speculations on North Georgia Con
gressmen.
The Congressional race in the Seventh
(Gen. P. M. B. Young’s) District,
promises at the present to lie one of the
moßt exciting on record. Circumstances
at present somewhat indicate a regular
scrub race, wherein each man will de
pend on his individual merits for suc
cess. It is universally conceded that
the district is at least five-sixths Demo
cratic, and it is believed by many
that whatever should be the dissensions
and divisions among the De noerats,
they wonld offer no inducement to the
Republicans to nominate a candidate;
anil this circnmstance has encouraged a
disposition to disregard all party regu
lations, and leavo the people untram
meled by nominations or party ties to
vote for their friends. It is already
rumored that Col. Geo. N. Lester, fore
stalling a nomination by a convention,
has proclaimed himself a candidate in
dependent of a regular nomination.—
This disposition on the part of some can
didates and their friends in that district
is severely censured by prominent
Democrats here. They say, admitting
that the experiment may not prove dis
astrous in the present instance, it would
certainly have a disorganizing effect on
the party elsewhere, in districts where
its thorongh discipline is its only salva
tion. In case this proposition for a
scrub race prevails it is predicted that
Gen. P. DI. B. Young will be elected.
Speculations and conjectures at this early
day are necessarily premature aud unre
liable. They are given simply as an in
dication of the drift of the political
mind at this time.
Mr. Hill in the Ninth.
It is not yet known whether Dir. Hill
will allow liis name to be submitted to
the Democratic nominating conven
tion in the Ninth District or not.
Your correspondent, however, saw
a warm friend of his this even
ing, from that District, who, though
rot sanguine of Mr. Hill’s nomi
nation, thought that Dir. Hill could
command a number of votes. He ex
pressed the hope that Dir. Hill might
probably carry the counties .pt Clarke,
Jackson, Walton and Dlorgan in the
convention, which would give him
fourteen votes, which is about one-third
of the total number, if I mistake not. It
is pretty generally conceded that Gar
nett MeDlilian controls all the counties
in the Northeast, and that in point of
majority—discarding all hopes of a com
promise—he is at present the strongest
man in the field. Col. J. B. Estes, of
Hall, will probably carry his own and
one or two adjoining counties, at least
this seems to be the present calculation.
It is not generally known whether Dlr.
Bell, present .member, will offer as a
candidate or not. The impression that
he will favor DleDlillan still prevails to a
certain extent.
The Fifth.
The political horizon in the Fifth
(this) District undergoes a transforma
tion daily. One day it is darkened by a
threatened storm of Black Republican
conclaves; another it is overspread with
the roseate blush of Lochrane, and
again it is calm aud serene in the pre
sentation of a rainbow of triumph, be
tokening peace and good will to all
lovers of liberty throi.gh its champions,
a resolute Democracy. At present cir
cumstances indicate John D. Stewart,
of Griffin, as the strongest man. Per
sons from that vicinity say he will carry
Spalding, Pike, Henry, Fayette and
Clayton counties—l 4 votes; that M. A.
Candler, of DeKalb, will carry Fulton,
DeKulli aud Dlilton counties—lo votes;
and A. D. Hammond Monroe, Houston
and Upson counties—l 2 votes. These
estimates, if true, will make a warm
triangular tussle in the Convention,
aud it is already predicted that
a compromise man will win, and a few
intimate that Colonel E. F. Hoge may
ho that man. This is rather a wish than
an expectation, however, it is to be sup
posed though it is conceded that there
is not an abler man in the field than
Col. Hoge. It is said that Major Geo.
Hillyer has withdrawn from the race—
or rather that he will not enter for it.—
Col. Thomas C. Howard, of DeKalb,one
of Governor Smith’s secretaries, is a
candidate, making the third candidate
from DeKalb. Colonel Luther J. Green
who was nominated and defeated at the
last election, it is now said, will enter
the race. Many persons, however, do
not hesitate to say that the upper por
tion of the District having last time
failed to elect its candidate, should drop
them and qoncent.rate on someone from
a different part of the District. Judge
Lochrane, in ease the Republican Con
vention makes no nomination, will have
a considerable support. Though au
avowed Republican, he is an Irishman,
and many of that nationality will vote
for him on personal considerations.
It is conceded that a nomination
of him by , the Republicans would
injure his prrispects by driving off per
sonal friends |u the Democratic ranks.
The Republicans are somewhat confi
dent that theq eon elect their candidate.
The Democrats, however, entertain no
fears as to the result, believing they
haveau overwhelming majority in the
district.
N«tes in Brief.
The City Council last evening passed
the city tax ordinance fixing the assess
ment for general tax at 1,33} per
cent., the saijie as last year; and
allow a discount of five per cent, on
all taxes paid ill the month of July. *
* * * Financiers here predict that so
soon as Congrtjss adjourns money will
become easier. The money rings in
New York, theylsay, ,are cautious about
investments uutil Congress has definite
ly settled its financial policy for the
coming year. * * * No olle pi aC es
much credit in the report that the wife
of Dlr. Braun, of this city, has fallen

FOREIGX NEWS.
The Situation in France—The Excite
ment Subsidin'?.
Paris, June 12.—1n the Assembly to
day the second reading of the muni
cipal electorial bill was concluded. M.
de Dlalville, of the Left Centre, asked
the Government to inform the House
what course it intended to pursue to
ward the Bonapartists who iguored or
defied the decisions of the Assembly.
Bethmont, of the Left, called atten
tion to a statement made yesterday by
Dl. Fourton, Dliuister of the Interior, in
relation to the recent disturbances.
That statement implied that the police
and Radical Deputies were equally to
blame. The Dliuister who made it ought
not be retained in office another mo
ment. The Government was culpable
in not removing him. Picard, of the
Left Centre, pointed to the long im
munity from Government interference,
which the Bonapartist journal, Xe Pays,
had enjoyed, aud declared Fourton was
unworthy of confidence. Fourton re
plied. He declined to retract anything
he had said. The Assembly should
await the result of the inquiry which
had lieeu ordered into the recent de
plorable occurrences. In conclusion lie
assured the Chamber that the Ministry
was determined to make President Dlac-
Mahon’s authority respected.
Bethmont then moved a vote of cen
sure against the Dlinistry, which was re
jected by a vote of 377 to 326.
About the time of the return of the
Parliamentary train to Paris this eve
ning a large number of people began to
assemble around the station, but the
crowds were soon dispersed by the
police. There was no disturbance on
the arrival of the Deputies. The Bona
partists propaganda is very active,
especially in the barracks. It is con
sidered certain that St. Croix, in strik
ing Gambatta yesterday, acted in ac
cordance with a prearranged plan of the
party leaders to provoke a duel. Copies
of Le Pays were seized by the police this
eveniug as soon as they were issued.
The Left Centre is reported still hope
ful of a union with a portion of tho
Right Centre and of the formation of a
Dlinistry under Duke D’audiffirt Pas
giuer.
It is reported that the violence of the
Bonapartists during the past few days is
a part of the conspiracy they have en
tered into to bring about a dissolution
of the Assembly, and appeal to the
country through a plebiscite.
A semi-official note protests agaiust
the newspaper accounts of the late diffi
culties as mischievously provocative of
excitement and hatred, and expresses
the hope that the measures already
taken by the Government to restore
quiet and. prevent further trouble will
prove sufficient.
London, June 13, 5, a. m.—The Lon
don Times has the following special dis
patch, dated Paris 12tli, midnight: “The
Boulevards are crowded to-night. All
the cases are fall of people. An im
mense conflagration is visible in the
northern part of the city. The freight
station of the Northern Railwav is in
flames. All the firemen of the city are
hurrying to the spot, and thousands of
policemen and soldiers are going in the
same direction, The fire began at ten
o’clock.”
The Government has resolved, in ad
dition to the temporary suppression of
“Le Pays,” to commence proceedings
against its proprietors tor violation of
the press laws.
Quiet Restored—Saiut Croix Punished.
Paris, June 13.—The measures adopt
ed by the Government to prevent a re
petition of the scenes of yesterday and
Thurstlay at the Western depot proved
effectual. At noon, the hour of the
departure of the Deputies train, there
was no more than the usual bustle at
the station. Saint Croix was brought
before the Police Court for assaulting
Gambetta. He was sentenced to six
months imprisonment and to pay a fine
of 200 francs. He was also ordered
to pay the costs. In his trial he
declined to accept legal assistance.—
Rioters who were ai rested Thursday
evening were sent to prison for terms
ranging from a week to a month.
Paris, June 13.—1n the Assembly to
day General De Cissey, Minister of War
and Vice-President of the Council, in
troduced a bill, modifying the regula
tions for njobiiigatioi} of the army in
case of the outbreak of war.
The report last night that the station
of the Northern Railway was in flames
was incorrect. The fire was in a timber
yard adjaeeut to the railway station.
From Rome.
Rome, June 13.—1 t is stated in diplo
matic quarters here that the British
Government has offered its services to
bring about an amicable settlement of
differences between Brazil and the
Argentine Republic.
Pilgrims from America have assured
Cardinal Barromed that upon their re
turn to the United States they will ad
vocate the organization. Pilgrimages
to Rome to be made at stated periods.
The pilgrims have purchased an im
mense number of photographs of the
Pope.
From Spain.
Dladrid, June 12.—Senor Zabala,
President of the Ministry, has author
ized Generals commanding the national
forces in the North to grant pardons to
Carlists who give in their submission to
the Government. Senor Mantillio,
whose appointment as Dliuister to the
United States was some time ago an
nounced and afterwards oontradioted,
has been ordered to proceed to Wash
ington without delay. The Carlists
have shot two officers who mutined at
Durango.
The Imparcial says that in the event
of the death of the Pope the Spanish
Government will, in the election of his
successor, claim the privilege of veto that
was formerly accorded to the King of
Castile.
THE PETERSBURG DIFFICULTY.
The Government Will Not Interfere.
Washington, Jane 13.— Judge Harris
called on the President this morning to
protest in the name of the people against
military interference in Virginia, and to
assure him that as good order prevailed
in Petersburg as in any oity of the
Union. The President being absent he
proceeded to the Attorney-General’s
office, where a copy of the telegram
published elsewhere was furnished giv
ing the latest phase of the situation.
Judge Harris says no troops will be sent
to Petersburg.

United. States Marshal Bamsdel, Peters
burg :
You are instructed to take the neces
sary steps to protect the property of the
United States from injury, and the offi
cers of the Government in Petersburg
from violent interference with them in
the performance of their official duty,
and to that end, if you think proper,
you may summon a posse of the citi

are found inadequate for the pnrpose,
you will be furnished, upon a call by
you, by me with troops from Fortress

Aid for the Louisiana Sufferers.
Philadelphia, June 13.— The Louisi
ana delegation appointed to visit North
ern cities on behalf of the sufferers of
that section of the country, addressed a
meeting of merchants here to-day and
explained the deplorable condition of
the people of their State. The delega
tion was introduced by Colonel Forney.
After the addresses several subscriptions

ditional funds for fcfe shderfefs'was re
ferred to the Board of Managers of the i

We are sure our readers will thank ns
for calling their attention to the very
handsome advertisement of the Excel

Common Sense. —Our bodies need re
pairing and strengthening as much as
the houses we live in. Constant use
gradually wears them out, and we must

and the nervous will find the most genial
restorative ever offered to suffering hu

THERE IS NO GOOD REASON WHY AN
English speaking people should be doctored in
Lathi. If we should describe the proper, ies of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters iu the jargon of
the profession, not one reader in twenty would
understand what it is good for. We prefer to
say ill simple words that it possesses strength

highest order; that the vegetable ingredients
of which it is composed are eminently whole
some aud salutary, aud that the stimulant
which is combined with them is the purest that
can be manufactured. We prescribe it, not iu
garbled Latin, but in the good old mother
tongue, as a remedy for languor, debility,
nervousness, indigestion, liver complaint, fever
and ague, constipation, rheumatism and low
spirits, and as a preventive of every disease
produced by foul air. whether it stagnates in
crowded work rooms or imperils life aud health
in swampy districts and new clearings. So the

been yery light. We have nq material change
to note in prices, they being in some instances

orders from the country, tends to produce any
thing but a nattering prospect for the future.

weekly cotton review.
The market for cotton on spot has continued
extremely dull throughout the entire week.
Values show a further shrinkage of three
eighths. but a reduction in price failed to
stimulate demand from any sourco. Shippers
were excluded from market, as a decline
in gold and exchange placed the values
beyond their limits. Notwithstanding the
reduction of J, the few dealings have been
with spinners who purchased small lots. In
forward deliveries, there has been one con
tinuous decline Bern day to day and the mar
ket closes pp weak. The sales for tho week
included 160,378 bales, of which 158,400 bales
were on contract, and 1,978 for immediate de
livery, chiefly for spinning. Naval stores show
quite a decline, but at the close there was a
better feeling,
