WEDNESDAY JULY 1, 1874.
MINOII TOPICS.'
An English journal is authority for the state
ment that Russia is about to pounce upon
China in self-defense. The former Chinese
province of Kulilsha. now occupied by the Rus
sians, is threatened by Chinese troops, as also
the independent province of Kashgar, which
belonged to China a few years ago. The Chi
nese forces are said to be arm and with European
rifles, and may make an interesting fight in
.case a war is begun.
A New Yorker tells of some nice grass for
fronts yards. He says : “Couch, or kntch. I
grass takes possession of the superficial
stratum and everlastingly splices and j laits its
roots into indestructible Hinnet. ft cannot .
be rooted out. In India and Persia, where j
every blade is scorched by the blazing sun and
hot winds of the dry season, horses and cattle
are fed on the succulent roots. One rain shower
covers the arid, baked, fissured plains with
emerald verdure."
A San Praneisco woman, who stepped upon a
treacherous pea-pod which someone had
thrown on the sidewalk, is thus describe 1:
“She kicked with both feet as high as a ball t
star, gave the pectil ar shrill, feminine scream,
sat down, said, 'Oh my.' smoothed down her
disordered attire, looked round wildly, rose '
quickly, shook herself to see if anything was !
loose, gave a w.thering glance at the place
where she had fallen, and, with all the spare
blood she had in her face, went on with her
shopping.”
Among Sartoris' traveling traps was a dozen J
bottles of fine old “Robertson County.” He
laid in this stock for h s own private consmup- i
tion, Htrl by the time tho steamer reached
Queenstown there warn t a drop of the precious
fluid left. When he turned the last bottle up
side down, and his tongue citing to the mouth
of it, with a melancholy sort of fascination, !
Nellie interrupted him. in that emphatic tone
peculiar to the American female, and said :
“Why. I do declare, Algernon, you're almost as
bad as pa.”— Anjus.
A meeting at New York on Monday in favor
of rapid transit was a! tended by a large num
ber of merchants, bankers and down-town
business men in general. The speeches an 1 i
resolutions were strongly in favor of the ele-j
vated road, ovur which there was an excursion
after the meeting adjourned. A committee j
was appointed to wait on the Governor to urge
him to s gn the bill, extending its privileges, or
in default of that, to sign any other bill that ■
promises to give the city rapid means of com
munication between one end of the island and
the other.
The forthcoming Tammany celebration at
New York, of the Fourth of July, will have
something more than ordinary significance.
The intention of the Sachems is to have as
many representative men of the party present
as isissihle, or, if they cannot come in person,
to have them transmit their views by letter
upon the existing condition of parties anil poli
tics. Invitations Jiavo been addressed to lead
ing members of Congress, including Senators
Thurman ami liayard. The policy of the party
with reference to the future, it is expected,
will be, after a measure, foreshadowed at this
meeting.
In France, for many years, no actor was al
lowed to be buried in consecrated ground. The
profession was looked upon as a dishonorable
one. For a long, long time, Moliere, tho
greatest actor of his day, and tho first of
French comedy writers, was simply a stroller,
wandering from town to town with his com
pany, and picking up a rather precarious living.
It was only after severe straggles that ho suc
ceeded in locating himself in Faria. To-day
the great actors are the boast of Pal is, and per
haps no people express stronger admiration for
those who succeed on the stage than the
Parisians.
The amusing part of tho late agitation in
Franco is tho way in which Bonapartists, Or
leanists, uml Ifnpiiblicaus manage to bito their
thumbs at each otlior in perfect safety. “You
don't dast to hit mo,” says little Tommy to
Hickey; “Say that agin an’ I will,” says
Hickey, and then they both glare horribly at
each ocher and trot off in opposite directions.
A combative gentleman stepped up to M. Gam
betta the other day. 'I am a Ikmapartist; dare
you call me a wretch ?” “Certainly,” said
Gambolta. Gore and obituari s appeared im
minent, but thoro was nothing of the kind.
Tho gentlemen wero merely biting their
thumbs in a graceful way. *
Truly, California is a country of vegetable
wonders. Last year everybody marvelled at
her enormous wheat crop, and the wiseacres
predicted that so great a yield would bo follow
ed by a season of scarcity. But on the eon- j
trary, the area under cultivation this year is
more than ‘2,000,000 acres. 300.000 acres more
titan last year, and tho yield is extraordinarily
fine. Tho total crop is estimated at a mini
mum figure of 35,000,000 bushels, leaving 25.-
000,000 for export nearly twice iho greatest
amount that California lias ever furnished for
exportation, mure than all tho rest of the
United Htatos exported last yoar, and twice »h
much as Russia exported from her great grain
districts on tho Danube.
Tho discovery of a now comet approaching
the earth with astonishing rapidity, and which
promises an exhibition of moro than usual
brilliancy, lias set our astronomers into a fever
of oxeiti moot. Tho new comer from the
realms of space was first discovered by M.
CoggiA, of Marseilles, on the 17tit April, since
which time it lias rapidly grown in apparent
size, and will be at its best with us during tho
first days of August. No such display must be
looko 1 for as that of the comet of 1358, with
its fan-tail spreading over a third of tho heav
ens. Our new visitor is on its outward journey
from the sun, ami consequently i ecreasing in
brilliancy, hut thoro will bo enough of it loft
for a very elegant display, and the nucleus
particularly, we are informed, is of extraordi
nary brightness and condensation.
A lady in Halt Creek Valley, Kas., the other
day, met with a very severe accident, and is
siot ablo to give a single particular of her mis
fortune. Hlio went out into a pasture-field to
catch ft horse to drive to town. Hho came
back to her home without the horse, and with
out her tongue -that is. the use of it. Slio had
been struck suddenly dumb, and was in good
health in every other respect. Hlio has since
boon unable to speak the smallest word, or
even utter a sound. She is supposed to have
, fallen in a tit, or been very badly frightened.
This lady is not eligible, and those men who
think silonoe is golden in a woman need not
think of hunting her lip and staking off tho
claim. She is already the wife of Mr. Samuel
Chapman, of Pleasant Ridge. There he many
who would like tc know just how it was done,
but it is a secret which this woman will doubt
less keep.
'J’woe<l still draws well. A fsw days age lie j
was brought into a New York Court as a wit- j
u m. The World says: "There was a crowd
in waiting, which pressed around the carriage
as he alighted, and followed him as ho was
oouducted to the Court room. He took a seat
near tho jury box. and during the trial of two
or three other oases before that in which ho
was to be a wituess was called, ho was the
object of great interest to tho continual stream
of people who walked in to look at him and
then filed out again. Mr. Tweed is very little j
changed since tho time of his trial and comic- j
tioti. and seems to ho in tine physical cqpdi- j
liou. His hair and whiskers have grown a j
shade lighter, and his face is slightly thinned, i
though his countenance is as flushed and liis
eyes are as bright as over. He wore a white
necktie, as usual, hut the famous diamond
studs were not in his shirt bosom."
\ London letter thus gossips about the !
Queen: "Her Majesty is now in the midst of
tier faithful Highlanders, and enjoying herself
in her own way. As soon as she got to Balmo
ral. she attended the funeral of one of her
{Chillies. going to the house of the deceased
and laving a wrenh of flowers on the coffin at
the end of the service. A few nights after
there was a servants' hall at tho Castle, am} in
tho course of the evening the Queen uot only
countenanced the proceedings by her presence,
but took part in the dancing, She danced with
rriuro Albert Victor and Prince George, sons
of the Prince of Wales, and afterward took
part in a reel with John Brown, her attendant,
and Donald Stewart, game keeper. It is easv
to understand what a relief this must have
Beeu after the severe etiquette of an imperial
reception. This is the first time that the
Queen lias danced since thedoath o< the Prince
Consort. 1 leave you to imagine the state of
mind of society on the arrival of this interest
ing piece of l ews, and all ihe comments, ru
mors. and conjectures to which it has given
rise. Except at Balmoral her Majesty never
attends a hall or even a concert."
A rather interesting campaigu has set in
for the abolition of the Paris city hospitals.
It is proposed to erect such in the midst of
green fields, woods, and flowers, within easy
railing distance from Paris. A patient, it is
alleged, is a prisoner, compelled to share the;
risks and dangers of similar dtieniut. while in
creasing the conditions that militate against
cure. During the war the low death rate in
the American ambulance—which were hoe- !
jitals under canvass—ms compared with the
ordinary wards, has left a profound impression !
on the French mind, and may. perhaps, ex
plain why the monster new Hotel Dieu is still
far from being complete. The npshot of the
agitatiou is to try a few tents for selected pa
tients tc the country. To prevent disease by
separating the affected must lead to the same
principle being applied to criminals. Female
prisoners sadly need that the sheep should be
separated from the goats. A girt once con
demned to a French gaol for no matter how
short a period may regard herself as next to
lost forever, and the same result ensues here.
In regard to open air hospitals, the idea start
ed in Paris had an American birth. There are
many skilled physicians even in thus city who
are opposed to cloee. noisy hospital wards
whenever they can he avoided, and who would
rather, in times of epidemics, trust their pa
tients to a teat in the field than to the best
hospital in town.

comities only report it favorable.
• 2d Question. What kind of weather
have you had since preparations for
planting to date ? Answer. January and
February rather favorable, March and
April cold, with excessive rains; May too
dry for growth, but favorable for field
work.
3d Question. Has the weather been
more or less favorable as compared with
same period last year f Answer. Gener
ally less favorable; in some counties,
however, it has been considered equally
as favorable.
4th Question. What is the area of
land planted in cotton as compared with
last year? Answer. 12J per cent, less

commercial fertilizers used; but con
siderable domestic, or home made, has
been applied, the amount not given.
6th Question. How does the labor in
your section compare with that of last
year in number and efficiency ? Answer.
A slight decrease in number, but more
efficient; this, with less acreage, makes
the labor equal to last year.
7th Question. Has any portion of the

Killed by a Snake. —Wo learn from
a letter from Athens that a heartrending
scene occurred in Clarke county, about
eight miles from Athens, on the 22d
iust. On that day, while Mr. A. L. Wil
liamson was plowing in his field, he
turned up a young tree that he had
planted in the Fall. He stooped to pick
it up, when he heard a singing noise
under some brush in a corner of the
fence. He pushed aside the brush and
saw a huge rattlesnake. He jerked up a
rail and commenced striking at tho ser
| pent. however, he got
! too near tho snake, which sprang at him
and Buried its fangs in the calf of his
| leg. Mr. Williamson finally killed the
venomous reptile. One of his employees
reached him about that time and found
his leg greatly swelled. He carried him
home and gave him stimulants freely,
but without avail. The sufferer died in
a few minutes. Mr. Williamson was a
Methodist minister and much esteemed
in the community.
The snake which caused Mr. William
son's death was ten feet long, with
eighteen rattles and a button.
First Arrival of Nf.w American
j Wheat in Liverpool. —The Liverpool
! Mercury, of the 13th of June, says :
A barrel of Hour, made from wheat of
; the growth of the present year, lias just
! been received in Liverpool. It was
| grown upon a farm in Georgia, reaped,
! thrashed and ground only a few days
; before it was transmitted to this port on
board the recently arrived steamer Bal-
I tic, consigned to Messrs. J. & G. Hen
; derson, corn brokers of Brunswick
j street, by Messrs. Stovall & Hull,
jof Augusta, Ga. It was the wish of
j the shippers that the barrel should be
1 sold for the benefit of one of the loeal
| charities, and this fact, coupled with the
j circumstance that it was the first ar-
I rival of American Hour of 1874, induced
Ia spirited bidding, which ultimately
reached £s —being nearly double the
actual value—s 26 25 in our currency.
A Chinese Tale of Horror.—Yester
day morning the presiding magistrate
of "the quiet city of Chiuhai was aroused
from his dreamy slumbers by the ap
pearance of a wife-deceived and aveng
ing husband, who produced from a cloth
wrapper two human hea ls, which repre
sented his wife and her guilty com
panion. One version of this tragedy
runs thus: Tho injured husband had,
through his employment upon a steamer,
been absent from home for long periods
of time, during which the cause of evil
was contracted, and at the close of the
old year, the husband returning toeujoy
the "usual festivities, found the neigh
borhood all alive with the story of his
wife’s unfaithfulness. These lrve colds
of tale bearing gave additional heat to
his anger, but he contrived to conceal
his feelings from his wife, and hurriedly
left home uuderthe pretense of goingto
Hankow, but instead of leaving he, with a
few trusty friends, secreted themselves in
the neighborhood, prepared to obtain a
cruel redress before the lire of his auger
cooled down. The unfortunate man,
ignorant of tho fatal trap, entered the
house of the woman, and both being
surprised were secured by the watchers,
who speedily severed their heads from
their bodies, and carried the former to
the distiTct magistrate. There will be a
trial, but the whole piece of legislation
is a mockery. The guilt or innocence of
the murdered will be put into a large
tub of water, and set in motion by vig
orous stirring. If the heads meet faee
to face, behold a clear proof of guilt.’ If
uot, then all the worse for the avenger.
Such is the power of custom ; custom,
more cruel than law, for it demands the
death of both. It is said that if the man
had but killed the intruder he would be
liable for murder. But, having effected'
a double murder, he escapes with a mere
formal whipping, aud receives a reward
of 20,000 cash. The district, to purge
itself of such evil, destroys the bodies
of the dead by cremation, and the very
piece of ground rendered unclean by the
evil must be plowed up before the" vir
tuous will venture to dwell there—
Shanghai Evening Courier, March 11.
Fashion appears to decree that, for
the present, black velvet should be worn
at all times and iu all seasons. Bodices
are very general, formed of black velvet
bauds, alternating with cross bands of
embroidered white muslin.
Some of tho prettiest of the Summer
suits are of striped grenadine, made with
the long pointed apron front, highly
looped up sides aud back, aud trimmed
with the now fashionable grass cloth.
Nothing prettier or more stylish can be
imagined,

Augusta Exchange, \
Augusta, Ga., June 25, 1874. (
Dear Sir— l am directed by the Presi
dent and Broad of Directors of the Au
gusta Exchange to write you on the sub
ject of applying at the next session of
Congress for the re-establishment of
Augusta as a port of delivery, and for
the appropriation of one million of dol
lars, or such other sum as may be deem
ed advisable, for the erection of a cus
tom house andpther public buildings;
and also for the appropriation of two
or three hundred thousand dollars by
the General Government for the im
provement of the Savannah river, above
Augusta, which as you are aware has
been navigable for ceitain crafts known
as Peterburg boats ior nearly, if not
quite one hundred years, and is now in
no better, probably worse, condition
than it was in the last century.
It is believed by our Board that the
commerce, population, wealth and wants
of our city fully justify us in making
this application; and they hope that you
will coincide with their views, and as
sure them of your hearty co-operation
as well as willingness to use your most
vigorous exertions for the accomplish
ment of the end in view.
They believe that there is no place in
the United States of equal commercial
importance, wealth and population that
has not been given the facilities for the
transaction of business for which Au
gusta now proposes to ask, whilst they
feel sure that many places, with less
claim, aud where the necessity was not
so great or jiressing, have received large
appropriations from the Government for
similar purposes. They desire full in
formation as to the number of inland
cities, their size and commerce, for
whose accommodation appropriations
have been made for the erection of cus
tom houses, &c., and the amounts ap
propriated cities of equal or less impor
tance than Augusta. Can you furnish
us with this information or enable us to
obtain it ? Our community is deeply
interested in this matter, and will work
energetically, collectively and individu
ally to secure the passage of such bills
or bills as we have indicated. We in
vite any suggestions from you on this
subject as will in your good judgment
promote such application, which we
trust you will make, or cause to be
made, at the next session of Congress.
I am reliably informed that one firm
during the past season imported one
hundred and seventy-five thousand dol
lars’ worth of one article, upon which a
tariff of 30 per cent, was paid.
Believing that you will give this mat
ter your serious consideration, I am,
very respectfully, your obedient ser
vant, Roswell King,
Secretary.
SOCIETY AND FASHION.
Buttons come in oxidized silver, in
gilt, steel, smoke pearl, jet, passemente
rie and many other materials.
A fan, with a watch on one side of the
handle, and a strong eye glass on the
other, is the last thing out in Paris.
Little boys still in petticoats wear
deep square collars of percale, pink and
blue, with white in stripes or spots, with
corded or scalloped edges.
A Baltimore bride, according to a re
porter, wore calla lilies iu Tier hair.
Seven calla lilies iu a ueat cluster on the
top of a lady’s head would look well.
The coiffure is to be remodelled.
What the new styles will be it is difficult
to tell. But there is a suggestion of
soft, feathery little curls, aud very high
ly coiled.
An Oriental fashion, popular just now
for belts, is to have them so thickly
studded with beads that the belts look
like solid jet bands. The lower edge is
finished with a deep treilised fringe of
jet.
The last new thing in linen drapers’
shops in Paris is a billiard room for hus
bands and brothers to beguile their time
while their fair companions are making
their purchases.
Somebody writes all the way from
Paris to say that the real ladies there
don’t wear those long lace scarfs about
the ueck when promenading, as ladies
do here. This is intelligence worthy
fashionable consideration.
One of the newest and most elegant
Parisian importations is velvet striped
grenadine. This has alternate stripes of
velvet an inch wide, woven iu between
canvass grenadine stripes of the same
width. There are also white ground
grenadines, almost covered with black
velvet stripes.
The rage in colors is now the famous
“elephnut's breath.” This is a very
beautiful shade of blue, with a sort of
mistiness about it. A faille of this
shade elaborately trimmed, and with a
tunic of black lace, was one of the hand
somest dresses worn at a wedding re
ception last week.
Two shades are still worn, wherever
admissible. In every case the garment
and heavier trimmings are of one shade,
the cordiugs and linings of the other.
Silk and cashmere combine handsomely.
Hercules, Russian and soutache braid are
still used. Fine yak laces aud insertions
are very popular, and, of course, glisten
with jets.
Vests and fichus are still very popular,
aud any amount of new neck trimming
is displayed at reasonable rates. For
traveling aud riding some neat parures
are shown. The prettiest fichus for
Summer wear are made of soft white
mull, and, as any lady of taste cau make
her own, they will be very much worn
this Summer.
One by one the undescript bonnets
disappear from the heads of the Flora
McFiimseys, and iu their stead is worn
the Kabagas, fairly loaded down with
flowers, lace, beads, ornaments aud
nick-nacks generally. It is imbedded
on the right side in a mass of false hair
aud held in position by hair pins that
resemble tongs.
Never use soap to wash hair brushes.
Take a piece of soda, dissolve it in warm
water, stand the brush in it, making
sure that the water only covers the bris
tles. It will almost instantly become
white and clean. Place it in the air to
dry, with the bristles downward, and it
will be as firm as anew brush.
Parasols are as war-like as ever, tut
the favorite styles for dress occasions
are the handsome lace covers; never oid
fashiouc and, and those beaded in elaborate
patterns with tiny beads, either steel or
jet. The effect is very pretty, and our
fashionably dressed lady is, "altogether,
a glittering figure when she honors the
promenade with her presence.
A fashionable fan is of Russian leath
er, in the Pompadour shape, cut in
points on top. It is very cleverly em
bellished with gilt, and has the owner's
monogram or initials on either side.
These fans were manufactured for the
Vienna fair last Summer, and, like other
things exhibited, not sold. Consequent
ly they have been sent to Amexio*

The Pope.
Rome, June 27.—The Pope to-day re
ceived a deputation fro n the Roman
nobility. He said the demonstration on
Sunday last was a spontaneous and
magnificent act of the people. The
counter demonstrations of Wednesday

the sons of darkness. The Pope added
that he had received a letter urging him
to quit Rome, because his person was
not safe, but he declared he would re
main here as long as God permitted.
The Spanish War.
Bayonne, June 27.—The Carlists re

Cuba.
New York, June 27. A recent
Havana letter says it is reported by the
Cubans that a convoy of four hundred
men, together with forty cart loads
of provisions, have been captured by
the Cubans in the jurisdiction of Santi
ago de Cuba. The total number of
four hundred Spaniards had been shot
in retaliation for the shooting of Cu
bans. The”Z>irariO* states that the
Spanish forces in the field operating
against tho Cubans number sixty thou
sand men; of this number forty thou
sand are supposed to be guarding the
cultivated districts, ten thousand on the
sick list and elsewhere, and ten thou
sand engaged in active pursuit of the
enemy. These ten thousand men, it is
said, are not sufficient to pursue six or
eight thousand men well acquainted
with the country.
Madrid, June 27.—A dispatch from
the scene of operations before Estella
says General Concha has executed a suc
cessful flank movement on the Carlists,
resulting in the capture of several im
portant positions. It is probable that
the town will fall into the hands of the
Republicans to-morrow. Official infor
mation has been received of a defeat at
Cbelva, thirty-eight miles northwest of
Valencia, after two days’ fighting, of ten
thousand Carlists under command of
Prince Alphonzo, brother of Don Car
los, by a force of Republicans, number
ing only five thousand men.

To Be Banished.
London, June 27.--The Pall Mall
Gazette has information that the Cizar,
as a punishment to his nephew the
Grand Duke Nicholas, son of the Grand
Duke Constantine, for theft of his
mother’s diamonds, has banished him
to the Caucausas for life, and deprived
him of the cross of St. George, which
was bestowed upon him for his achieve

Not True.
Berlin, Juno 27, —The report that the

is not true.
NEW BRUNSWICK.
The Weather and the Crops.
Bathurst, N. 8., June 26.—The un
settled state of the weather causes great
anxiety, as vegetation is seriously retard
ed and the farming interests neglected.
Yesterday there was a violent hail storm.
The gale of last week resulted in the
loss of thirty-two lives along the eastern
coast of New Brunswick—nineteen be-,
ing fishermen. Four barks and nine
schooners were stranded, aud about
thirty fishing boats wrecked. The
wholesale destruction of nets by the
storm will be a serious loss, as the sal
mon are unusually abundant, and large
catches were being made.
The President in Virginia.
Charleston, W. Va., Juno 27.—The
President aud Mrs. Grant arrived at
3, p. m. A salute was fired and a speech
of welcome delivered by Col. Benjamin
Smith. The President, in response, said
he had long been contemplating this
visit, but affairs of State prevented, and
he regretted that his stay would have to
be brief. He is quartered with his
cousins, Colonel and Mrs. Swann. Large
crowds met him at the depot. The
President and Mrs. Grant hold a recep
tion this evening at Col. Swann’s.
A Present Refused.
Washington, June 27.—C01. Bristow,
of Kentucky, now Secretary of the Treas
ury, has refused to accept a pair of
horses and carriage, which a friend
wished io present to him for the use of
his wife, who is regarded as the most
ladylike and handsomest woman out o
Kentucky.

Local and Business Notices.
The “Gentleman in Black,” who is the
tutelar demon of dram shops, assumes
his sourest aspect when the rapid pro
gress of Vinegar Bitters is reported
“down below.” The people’s vegetable
tonic is playing the mischief with his
bitters fired with rum. All diseases
which those demoniac nostrums aggra
vate, under pretense of relieving, such
as indigestion, sick headache, constipa
tion, rheumatism, gout and intermittent
fevers, are cured by it. je27-dt-kw4w
Common Sense.— Onr bodies need re
pairing and strengthening as much as
the houses we live in. Constant use
gradually wears them out, and we must
renew them when they exhibit signs of
decay. In Dr. Tint’s Liver Pills the
dyspeptic, the bilious, the debilitated
aud the nervous will find the most genial
restorative ever offered to suffering hu
manity.
Dr. Tutt's Sarsaparilla and Queen’s
Delight.—Under the influence of this
compound the eye grows clear and spark
ling, the complexion like pearl ; un
sightly blotches, pock marks, worms in
the flesh, pimples and roughness of the
skin disappear aud the entire human
organization grows redolent with health.

LIFE WITHOUT ENJOYMENT.
NO HUMAN BEING WHOSE STOMACH
and liver are disordered can enjoy life. Busi
ness is a fatigue and bore, and ail amusements
•'flat and unprofitable'’ to the victim of indi
gestion. biliousness and disturbances ©f tbe
bowels and the nerves which always recompany
them. The shortest, surest, safest way to get
rid of these evils, and of the mental despon
dency which grows out of them, is to tone and
regulate the system with Hostetter’s Stomach
Bitters. Os all stimulants it is the purest, of
all vegetable tonics the most active, of all
cathartics the mildest, of all anti-bilious pre
parations the most swift and certain in its ope
ration. During the twenty odd years that it
lias been m use it has lived down professional
prejudices, distanced competition, and taken
rank as the standard restorative of the age.
