Herr Offenbach, the composer, has brought an action against the Pays for calling him a Jew and a Prussian spy. Ah he did not claim damages, the Pays was condemned only to publish the sentence of the Court in vindica tion of the composer's honor in its ovui columns and in other papers. “Washington," exclaimed a member of a Nashville debating club, in sentorian tones. “Washington was a great man; he was a good man ; he was a noble man : his mind ba l a powerful gra p of ilie future; if ever a man was nan compos rneiUis, Washington was that man.” A young lady, known as a regular chatter box. having monopolized the conversation fur the first half hour at table, asked a Quaker present “How he liked tongue,” remarking at the same time that she had prepared it in several tempting ways, to which he meekly re plied, “m repose.” A slight lull in conversa tion followed. Mr. Henry Hergh. it is said, has been at Long Branch, making observations as to the enmities of horse racing, aid iliero is a rumor that he will soon “begin a campaign against this popular amusement." The Liberal Chris tian thinks that “if the horses could speak they would urge that ho begin without delay.” Mrs. Hester Authors, who lives in Delaware, is said to be 112 years of ago. She was pres ent at the signing of the Declaration of Inde pendence. nt Independence Hall, Philadelphia, in 177(i, and was then 11 years of ago. She has a daughter with whom she is now living, the third child aftor marriage, who is 75 years old The old lady is quite active and visits Philadel phia on the cars once or twice a year, to see her grand children. The West Indian regiments in the Asdiantee compaigu did not resist tho effects of tlio climate so well as the English. A private cor respondent, writing to his brother, an officer in the army, and dated from Cape Coast, siys : “Since Sir Garnet Wolseloy left, six officers have died and nine have been invalided home; one sergeant is dead, and four have bepn in vilided home. Besides those, tho doctor has died, one Control officer dead, two invalided, and another one going by the next mail,” A number of years ago a benevolent Chicago woman took to her homo a poor little orphan girl, and now tho following questions are aHked by a Chicago paper in regard to the orphan and the good woman's husband: “Accustomed to regard him as her greatest benefactor, how could alio rudely repel his artfully disguised advances 7 Unversed in the dreary lore of life quickest acquired from sin, how could she fathom tho dark depths of lus secret designs ?"

It will be attended by a very large number of associations from different parts of this coun try. and also by delegations from different sections of Germany. The preparations for it have been made upon an enlarged scalo, and with much liberality of expenditure on the part of tho Baltimore Association. Just as she was about to take tho seat ho offored her in the streot car, she said, snap pishly: “If there were any gentlemen in the car they would not allow a lady to go the length of it before giving her a seat." Then tho brutal man slid quickly back to his seat and quietly remarked : “I think tho ladies are all seated.” This was followed by. an audible smile from several male tyrants in the car, and tho lady (?), making a frantic plunge for the hell-strap, was soon ushered into tho street, temper and all.

Anew method of joining gas pipes has boon perfected Instead of tho usual projecting on 1, the pipes have creases or channels around them.

Tho Boston Post, in an article on tho ups and downs of the Spanish struggle with Car listu, sa\ s that amid all the gropings of Spain for the past five years, neither a pro eminent statesman nor a pre-eminent soldier has arisen to guide her to safety and honor.

An "enchanted park" in Colorado is thus de scribed by the Deliver Mirror : "It is a beauti ful valley about a mile in length, walled in on either side by peqiendieular walls from 200 to 3PO feet in height. There is bit one entrance to this enchanted spot, and that is a very rugged and dangerous pathway, ami a footman experiences great difficulty in the de scent. Upon reaching the valley we could hear the rustling of tho wind through the lofty pines on the cliffs above us. sounding like the roar of some devastating hurricane, w tie the grass beneath our feet lay as calm and as still as death. Not even tho slightest breath of ait could bo felt. Everything was so still that a person standing at the lower part of the valley could distinctly comprehend persons speaking at the upper end.” lleury Ward lioeehcrtuay have learned some thing from his fathot, who u-ed to toll the fol lowing story : "When I livtd in Litchfield l wanted a book from the college library. I started in my one-horse chaise for Now Haven. I got the book and moved along homeward. Beaching one of the loug bids. 1 got out to walk, I took my book with me lest it should jostle out. Just before the horse a black and w bite squirrel was seen crossing the road, quite at his leisure. 1 said ’shoo!' but he did not hasten. I shied a stone at him. Tho little creature stopped, turned aid looked me square in the face. In my zeal I hove the book at him. I had to get anew suit of clothes and bum tnv old ones. I then made a solemn vow never again to throw a Body of Divinity at a Bkttuk.” Mr. Grantley Berkeley, a great authority concerning horses. dog» and sporting, in his latest book has much to say of hydrophobia.

COTTON. Business of the Past Week. There was n decidedly better feeling in the Augusta cotton market during the past commercial week than for that pre vious. Offerings, however, were light and sellers were few. The receipts for the week were 18G bales, a decrease of 380 bales when com pared with the same week last year. The sales were 592 bales, against 1,221 same week last year, showing a decrease of 029 halts last week. The receipts the present season, to date, foot up 198,0il hales, against 177,751 to July 25th last year. The shipments during the week were 1,054 bales; same week last year 1,197 bales. Estimated stock on bund, 7,484 bales. MORE TRADE. Opening of a New Channel. Mr. J. P. DeLauter, a member of the Stevens Creek Navigation Company, was in the city yesterday. The company ob tained a charter from the South Caro lina Legislature about a year ago. Its object is to make .Stevens’ creek, which rnns through a portion of Edgefield county and empties into the Savannah river about two miles above the head of the Augusta Canal, navigable for fifteen miles for poll boats. Mr. DeLauter has already blasted a large amount of rock and cleared the channel. It is neces sary, however, that the water at the mouth of the creek should be raised two feet, and to do this the company wishes to secure the co-operation of the city authorities to the extent of getting them to build the contemplated dam, for canal purposes, at a point where one end of it will strike Long Island, op posite Stevens’ creek. If this is done the company will build the ’•emaiuder of the dam from the island to the South Carolina bank. We learn that this meets with approval, as the point designated is the most eligible for the construction of the dam. When the latter is built, and the water raised two feet, the creek will be open for naviga tion by large pole boats, such as now come down tho Augusta Canal, for five miles. Mr. DeLauter claims that by this alone one thousand bales of cotton will be added to Augusta’s annual re ceipts. Nor is this all. It is the inten tion of the company to build a lock at the end of the five miles, and this will render the stream navigable for ten miles more, or fifteen in all. The addi tional ten miles will furnish three thou sand bales of cotton, making four thou sand altogether, added to Augusta’s re ceipts. The enterprise lie says, is en tirely feasible, and there will be no dif ficulty about its accomplishment, espe cially if the city authorities co-operate with the company to the extent men tioned, and about this there seems to be no doubt. TIIE GAME LAW. What Birds Cannot Be Killed. As we have had many queries in re gard to the recent game law passed by the .State Legislature,we publish the act in full : An Act to prevent the destruction of insectivorous birds, and to make penal the killing, trapping, or other de struction of game in the counties of Richmond, Dougherty and Randolph, during certain seas ms of the year, anil to prohibit the destruction of fisli by poison, drugs, or other deleterious substances, and for other purposes. Section I. lie it enacted, etc.. That from and after the passage of this act, any person who shall kill, trap, snare, or otherwise destroy any whippoorwill, sparrow, thrush, mocking-bird, finch, martin, chimney swallow, barn swallow, dicker, oriole, red-bird, cedar-bird, yan nager, cat-bird, blue-bird, or any other insectivorous bird, or shall rob or de stroy tlie nest or eggs of any such bird, shall be held and deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof, shall lie punished as prescribed in sec tion 4705 of the Tlode of Georgia. Sec. 11. th it farther enacted, That any person who shall trap, snare, or net any partridge, except on his or her own land, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, ami, on conviction thereof, punished as prescribed in the first section of this act. Sec. 111. He it. farther enacted, That any person who shall shoot, kill, trap, or otherwise destroy any deer or partridge between the first day of Api'il and the first day of October, of any year, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and, on conviction thereof, shall be punished as prescribed in the first sec tion of this act. Sec. IV. lie it farther enacted, That any person who shall place in any fresh water lake, stream, or pond, any dele terious substance, or any drug, or bait, with intent to injure, poison, or catch fish, shall be deemed guilty of a misde meanor, and, on conviction thereof, shall be punished as prescribed in tho first section of this act ; Provided, that nothing in til’s section contained shall be construed to prevent the catching of bait fish by means of hand nets, or cast nets, for angling or scientific purposes. Sec. V. lie it further enacted, That any person who shall be found hunting, trapping, or fishing upon the advertised land of another, or who, being found hunting, trapping, or fishing on such land, shall, upon notice, refuse to leave the same, shall be guilty of a misde meanor, and, on conviction thereof, shall be punished as provided in the first section of this act: Provided, the provisions of this act shall apply only to the counties of Richmond, Dougherty and Randolph. Sue. VI. Repeals conflicting laws. Approved February 22, 1874. It will be seen from the above that the partridge is the only “game” bird, so-called, embraced in the act, so that sportsmen are at perfect liberty to shoot doves, the principal game at this time. Whether it is a matter of good policy to shoot them is another tiling. We have been asked whether the act prohibits the killing of bull-bats. Clearly it does. The bull-hat is certainly included in the meaning of the words “or any other in sectivorous bird.” Maunder’s “Treas sury of Natural History” says of the Night-jar, Caprimulgus Europceus (im properly" called the hull-hat in this sec tion) “as moths, gnats, beetles and oth er night insects are its food, it is pecu liarly formed to enable it to catch them on the wing. For this purpose nature has bestowed on it a month of great comparative size.” This settles the ques tion whether it is an iusectiverous bird. We understand that a Sportsman’s As sociation will soon he organized iu this city for the purpose of enforcing the provisions of the above act. As it is now. hut little attention is paid to the act. Farmers are often the sufferers. Negroes armed with guns ostensibly for the purpose of hunting game hut really often with fat porkers principally in view, wonder about farms and planta tions, breaking down fences and shoot ing hogs, The prevention of this will he one of the objects of the association. The preservation of fish from extermina tion will also engage its attention. Death of Rev. Wm. ,T. Hard. — Rev. Win. J. Hard, one of the oldest and best known citizens of Augusta, died of paralysis, at his residence on Greene street, yesterday afternoon at four o’clock. His funeral will take place this afternoon, at four o’clock, at the Greene Street baptist Church. Mr. Hard was horn in the city of Charleston on the second day of June, ISOS, aud was, therefore, at the time of his death in the sixty-seventh year of his age. He came to Augusta in 1833, and, with the exception of a short time alien lie was a professor in the college at Peufield, resided in Augusta from that date until his death. He was for sometime pastor of the Greene Street baptist Church, for long years a popular aud respected teacher, and for several years Principal of the Houghton Insti tute. He was. iu all respects, a good and useful citizen. A Case Amicably Settled. — A young mother, yesterday, sued out a writ of habeas corpus before Judge Levy for the possession of her child, an infant, which she alleged was kept from her by its father. The latter had rented a house, hut his wife desired to live with her mother, to which the husband stren uously objected. A disagreement arose and the wife went to her mother’s with her child, while her husband remained iu the rented house. Thursday the hus band took the child from the nurse while on the streets and carried it home. The mother thereupon sued out a writ as above mentioned. By the interces sion of Judge Levy a reconciliation was effected between the parties, the wife consenting to go home with her husband. Bank for Colored People. —At the suggestion of several prominent colored men we referred, last Thursday, to the necessity of a savings bank for the col ored people. In the absence of such an institution, however, there is the Planters' Loan and Savings Bauk al ready in this city, open to all classes, where deposits as small as one dollar are received. Our colored people will find that tli;s institution offers them an excellent opportunity for saving their earnings, seven per cent, interest being paid on all deposits. The following well known citizens are officers of the bank : T. P. Branch, President; John P. King, Vice-President, Jos. S. Beau, Jr., Cashier A colored boy was found suspended to a tree, near Madison, last Tuesday. No clue to the murderer. Columbus wants a Chamber of Com merce, THE STATE UNIVERSITY, .

Editors of the Chronicle and Sentinel : We will soon be called upon to select candidates to represent us in the Na tional and State Legislatures and it is well to consider upon what principle they are to be chosen. I was impressed by a brief but ably written communica tion in your paper a few days ago, in which tlie writer utterly demolished the claim so often set up that because a can didate has once been defeated for office lie is entitled to it at the next election. There is another claim quite as often urged, and having as little merit, viz : Because a defeated candidate has ac quiesced in the action of his party and not rent it asunder by bolting, there fore he has a claim upon the party and next time is entitled to the nomination. Is a candidate wito bows to the will of the majority and refuses, although he may be encouraged to do so, to bolt the convention, entitled to aDy especial thanks ? Is it not his plan duty to yield to tlie choice of his party properly expressed ? What sacrifice does he make? Wiiat right does lie surrender ? Are men to be rewarded for the discharge of a duty so plain and because they have not done that which would not only be wrong in itself, but which in all proba bility would bring discredit upon them selves and disaster upon their efforts? No man should be selected that cannot be relied on as a firm adherent of not only tlie principles, but tlie organization of the party. Yet, because he did not when he might have done so, disrupt the party, does not entitle him to office. The claim so often and earnestly urged that generous sacrifices and magnani mous concessions have been made for the sake of the party and to secure the triumph of those principles, upon the maintenance of which the prosperity of tlie country depends, after ail amounts to no more than this—that the devoted pataiot, after every effort to secure the nomination failed, instead of bolting submitted to that which he could not avoid. I will not attempt to add any thing to what was so forcibly expressed by your correspondent as to the claims of any man upon public office. The idea is grossly and fundament ally wrong. Public offices are stations of high, sacred trust, to be dispensed by the people, and do not belong to any man, especially upon the claim, of mere fealty to tlie party. Let the best of qualification for the office sought be applied, and by it every aspirant stand or fall. G. Sad Accident to a Savannah Lad.— The Savannah News, of yesterday, says: On Monday morning last Angus Mc- Alpiu, a promising youth, and the only son of our well-known and esteemed citizen, Mr. Agnus McAlpin, whilst on a visit to Col. George 8. Owens’ place, about five miles from Clarksville, acci dentally shot himself in the bead with a pistol with which he was playing, and died from tlie effects of the wounds re ceived about ten o’clock the same night. A letter received here yesterday by a member of the "family, and which was shown to us, gives tlie following par ticulars of this sad affair:. Mrs. McAlpin has for some time past been keeping the hotel at Clarksville. On Monday morning young Angus, who had been of great assistance to his mother in attending to varions matters about the hotel, left Clarksville to pay a brief visit to some friends nt Colonel Owens’ place. While there the proposi tion was made to play a game of cards, and young Angus, with one of his com panions, entered a room for the pur pose of finding the pack. Whilst look ing for the cards, Angus came across a pistol, and for the time was diverted from the object of his search, and amused himself snapping the caps. There was no discharge, and, imagining tho weapon was not loaded, he said to his companion, who had advised him to put the pistol down, “I WILL PLAY KILLING MYSELF, ;\s it is not loaded,” and raising the barrel towards his head, pulled the trig ger. Unfortunately the chamber was loaded and the weapon was discharged, the ball penetrating the right temple and coming out from behind the left ear. Ha fell to the floor, and remained entirely unconscious until a late hour, when the silver cord was broken and the youthful spirit winged its flight to the celestial realms. Immediately npon the occurrence of the accident his compan ion called for assistance, and a physi cian was summoned. Every attention was given, and all that was possible for mortal aid to accomplish was done, but without avail. Mrs. McAlpin was sent for, and was with her son when he died. The deceased was about twelve years of age, and was regarded as a remarkably promising youth, bright, intelligent and energetic. Being an only son, his death, rendered doubly agonizing by its terri ble character, is a fearful b'ow to his parents, who have in their great bereave ment. the sincere sympathies of numer ous friends. It is a mournful, yet singular coinci dence that Tinsley, the oldest son of Mr. McAlpin, met liis death by accident when about the same age, or very little older than Angus. About two years ago, whilst at play with some boys, he was run against by one of his companions, whose teeth struck him in the forehead, knocking him down, lie was taken sick, and erysipelas ensuing from the wound, he died shortly afterwards. The unfortunate accident which re sulted in the death of young Angus should be a terrible warning to all youths against playing with deadly weapons. In nearly every case the re sult is either serious injury or death. An East Saginaw, Michigan, paper speaks as follows of the place of its pub lication ; A city of 18,000 inhabitants, without a wagon factory, a barrel-mak ing establishment, a boot aud shoe manufactory, a car shop, a single fac tory to supply a tub, or pail, or article made of wood for every day use, and millions of feet of the best material in the world unsold or rotting iu the rivers and bayous. A city of great conve niences, capital and energy, witli one planing mill for retail work, one flour ing mill, one small tannery, one furni ture factory. Coutrast. tliese with 200 saloons ami whisky shops and our hun dreds of idle working men, the expendi ture of $15,000 to §20,000 a year to sup port the poor, aud it does not make a good showing for the future. The arrest of Mr. James Dunning, who fled the city a few months ago, hav ing defrauded the post office of several thousands of dollars, will give rise to a very delicate question iu law. That he took the money there seems to be no doubt ; hut the defalcation haviug been made good the United States has not lost anything. The prisoner was not employed by the Government, aud was not responsible to it. He was employed by the postmaster, who was alone re sponsible. Postmaster Dunning never began a suit against his son, aud, being dead, cannot bring one. Now, the ques tion is, whether or not the Government can prosecute ? Young Dunning robbed his father, aud not the United States, which have not lost a dollar. Can, then, the Federal authorities take cognizance of a robbery which did uot affect them '? It is a curious question altogether.— Atlanta Xeirs.

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 mnst renew them when they exhibit signs of decay.

Dr. Tutt’s Sarsaparilla and Queen’s Delight.— Under the influence of this compound the eye grows clear and spark ling, the complexion iike pearl ; un sightly blotches, pock marks, worms in the flesh, pimples and roughness of the skin disappear and the entire human organization grows redolent with health. jul3-tuth&sa&w At thirty-five the average American discovers that he has an “infernal stomach,” and goes into the hands of the doctors for the remnant of his life.

A great medicine is always a target for fraud. Shallow cheats, without the talent to orginate anything useful, or the decency to permit an article of superior excellence to perform its mission, without striving to turn a dishonest penny by attempting to substitute trash in its place, are now engaged in imitating and counterfeiting Hostetters Stomach Biiters. the most popular tonic and restorative in the civilized world. A brood of local bitters, mix tures of damaged drugs with worse liquor, has eropp and out ali over the country.

WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW. The market for cotton on spot has continued excessively dull throughout the entire week, and values show a further shrinkage of 4c., and there is very little inclination to purchase for other than immediate necessities, as the accounts of the new crop are exceedingly fa vorable and probably prices will be lower. The Liverpool market has been very dull, which may be attributed to the same cause. For for ward delivery there has, at times, been wide fluctuations a variable tone to the market, and every little news from the growing crop is at once picked up by the brokers, who gather about the ring and bull and bear the market as may be to their interest. The early months particularly rule weak, which can be accounted for the large stocks on hand and absence of demand. The total sales of the week have reached 91,812 bales, of which 88.500 were for future delivery; 3.312 ba es on spot, including 1,001 for expert; 2,007 for spinning, and 244 for speculation.
