The Philadelphia hedger doesn't write any obituary poetry for children outside of Phila delphia. This is the style in which it mentions the death of a small boy of Lowell: “Lowell— Saturday. Two little hoys and a pistol. Now, only one little boy and a pistol.” Dr. McCosh, of Princeton College, recently addressed the Loudon Presbytery on his pro ject of a Pan-Presbyterian Council, and ad vised that a public meeting be called in Lon don to consider what should be done, the various Presbyterian Assemblies in Scotland have atiproved of the council. The other day, writes a London correspond ent. while the congress concerning cruelty was in session, there was a long line of coaches in front of the building, and in everyone horses were suffering most intensely—those*of the Baroness Burdett Coutts most particularly— while their wealthy owners were weeping over the animals of the poor. The trade mark law in France is very strict, the penalty for infringement being a line of from oof. to 2,000f, and imprisonment from one month to a year, or either of these penalties, against any one who knowingly sells an article bearing a fraudulent trade mark, e.tlier an imitation or of such an appearance as to be calculated to mislead the purchaser. Zeal without judgment is dangerous. Miss Ella John-ton, of VVcllsville. N. J., had a pis tol presented to her by some admiring simple ton for courage shown in driving away burg lars. Miss Johnston did not understand much about pistols, and while she was practicing against the side of a barn, a stray bullet struck an l mortally wounded a young lady friend. The following testimony to the virtues of a patent manure was received by its owner: “DearHir The land composing my farm had hitherto been so poor that a .Scotsman could not get a living off it, and so stony that we had to slice our potatoes and plant them edgeways; but hearing of your manure X put some on a ten-acre field, surrounded by a rail fence, and in the m .ruing I found that the rock had en tirely disappeared, a i eat stone wall encircled the field, and the rails were split into firewood and piled up systematically in my hack yard.’’— The (Janbut. The increase in the use ‘of opium in this country suggests that reformers will soon have anew enemy to battle. The importation of opium now amounts to nearly 250,000 pounds annually ten times more than thirty years ago: and it is the opinion of physicians and druggists that not more than ono third of the quantity is used for medical purposes. In other words, mor ■ than 1 o.ono pounds of this drug are now used for stimulating pnrposes in this country. If the reformers could get rid of the opium, however, it ih a question whether some other stimulant would not be found to supply its place. The Nashville Union understands that the leading merchants of Nashville have subscribed over one thousand dollars for the purpose of employing three of the most promising law yers to prosecute “to the bitter end ’ every man, white or colored, who may ho found voting illegally on the day of election. It is their determination to station at overy voting place in the county detectives to spot every one who attempts to east an illegal vjite. The penalty is line and imprisonment, and no quar ter will ho shown to any one who may he ar rested for violating the law. The latest London journals contain Calcutta telegrams to July 14th. The harvest prospects ootitinuo favorable, and apprehensions as to a continuance of the famine wore subsiding. All over the country, however, there had been dis astrous floods, particularly in l’urneali, llhau gnlporo anil Chtuiiparim. The indigo season there is expected to b« the worst on record for many years. In Midnap >re the indigo is dying from drouth. The jute crop is expected to equal last season’s, unless tho Brahmapootra should inundate Borajgmigo, as in 1371. Tho Kangra tea was reaching the Calcutta market and showed great improvement. Tho number of subordinate Oranges now in operation is littlo short of twen y thousand. lowa had the largest number on the Ist of June, the date of the la-1 report, being 1,994. Indiana had 1.1)68, and Missouri tiad 1.929, while the Kansas Oranges numbered 1,623. — Illinois had 1,481, and Kentucky 1,101. Tho Cotton and tho Gulf States alone had 4.065 Oranges.

A lovely manner of avoiding sea-sickness has lately been put in practice by an English traveler. Ho was on hoard of a steamer cross ing tho British Channel between Dover and Calais. On dock, right opposite our Briton, was seated % beautiful French actress who was going to London, where she had an engage ment for a theatre. The Englishman was keeping his eyes rivoted on the face of tho lady ; whose patience being exhausted, said to the islander; “Why are you looking so per sistently at me ?" Tho gentleman answered with an exquisite politeness: "Madam, it is said that to avoid sea-sickness ono must rest his eyes upon a single point., and not stop a moment to look at the sea. You are the point which l have chosen.” Speaking of the ltoeoher-Tilton scandal, the Philadelphia Public Leiiger says : "What has happened in this affair is but the logical sequence of tho abominably loose notions of duty and morals which cropped out during the ostentatious participation of one of the par ties in the mock heroic McFarland-liichardson marriage, and the herding of another w ith the WoodhuU-Clalliti circle. Mrs. Tilton may have been morally poisoned by the foul atmosphere in which her later life was unhappily envelop ed, or sho may be otherwise the helpless vic tim of it. luit for the other two. right-minded peoploare unable yet to forsee anything that can avert the utter condemnation of both.” An Inter-Oceanic letter from Dakota, written by a correspondent with Custar’s expedition, says: • ‘There aro no fossils in this country. Four scientific gentlemen have been wandering about with bags and hammers for nearly a a week, and not yet have they found one of any importance. It seems that nothing ever died in this region, and one is inclined to the opin ion that nothing ever existed here until foolish, restless man penetrated these barren plains. There are an almudanco of remarkable potre factious, but only of a vegetable substance. Huge stumps are frequently found, with the roots and bark as perfect as can lie possible ; logs of wood, and even tree branches, with their natural form and color in a perfect state of preservation.” Ho was young and serious, and in the lair gloaming ho escorted his wife to where the sparkling soda gushed from a marble fountain. Gravely he gared at the man who asked. "What syrup?" and answered. "Crusade." Life seemed beautiful at that moment, but a ' paralysing horror seized him as the gentle voung wife said she and try some, too He laugh- j ed famtlv, it is said, but he felt like the silent i tomb or a lunatic asylum—:t didn't much mat ter which. However, the soda man nobly fnl- | filled his trust : he preserved his presence of mind and handed the wife a dose of particular ly energetic ginger, while the alarmed husband was comforted with the dagon he desired. He wishes never to stand upou such an a pea of agony again. Several revolts have broken out in the north ern and eastern parts of Prussia against the new reform in the government of the counties. Although this measure, which when ;>assed two Years since caused such excitement, was regarded as a blow at the great landholders, it seems that the peasantry do not so regard it. hut suspect a trick, and declare that the reform only throws more power into the hands of the aristocracy. The more ignorant even believe that they will be deprived of equal rights be fore the law and reduced to a state of vassal age. At one place where a rising occurred it was necessary to call out three companies of tioops. and in tho course of the coudiet three rncu were killed. Two eminent Scotish scientists -Dr. Mitchell aud Dr. liuchan—have completed the almost herculean task of averaging tho weekly mor tality of London for thirty yeans, aud of deduc ing the mortality rale for thirty-one diseases, so as to ascertain the effect of the season of the year upou each malady. Takiug all dis ea-es at all ages, their statistical research proves a large excess above the average death rate from the middle of November to the mid dle of April, and from that tune a rapid de crease to the end of May. when it reaches its lowest figure. From July to the eecoud werV of August the mortality rate increases rapidly, fed by the fatal infantile diseases incident to that period. Their investigation covers the inter dependence of the temperature as well as of the seasons aud the death rate, it ap pearing clearly that the average mortality has an inverse ratio to the temperature, rising when the temperature falls and falling when the temperature rises. Their research also disproves the popular belief. so far as the city of London is concerned at least, that the gen eral sickliness of the population is appreci ably augmented by the heat of the dog days. LOSS OF TIIE PAT ROGERS. Cause of the Fire. Lortßvn.t.E, August 7, noon.—The following is given as the possible origin of the fire on the Pat Rogers : About two weeks ago a negro thief was de tected by the watchman on the Rogers, who fired at him but missed him. This negro took deck passage on the Rogers when she left this wharf on Tuesday, and was heard to say to several negroes before starting that he would make it “ hot as hell for that watchman before they reached Cincinnati.” The opinion is expressed by one of the officials of the line here that this negro set the boat on fire. Further Facts of the Disaster. UnrciNNATi, Ohio, August 6.—Among additional list is A. M. Boots, of North Carolina, and F. M. Stone, of North Carolina, who are badly burned. The greatest misfortune consisted in the fact that the fire occurred iu that particular part of the river, for just there the river was at such a stage that it was imposible for the boat to reach the shore, drawing as much water as she did. The limit of time between the first alarm and when every body had left the boat is said to have been 20 minutes. At this time there was* dry land on the starboard j side only 30 yards distant, but a wall of flames j intervened. On the larboard side the land was a long distance away. The wind was blowing toward the nearest shore and drove the flames in that, direction. MaDV of those who got to the nearest shore were disfigured for life, the exposed part of their bodies being actually roasted by the excessive heat. One of the most thrilling and miraculous escapes was that of Miss L. •I. Williams, of Louisville, who threw away her valise and extra clothing, and after securing the services of a I gentleman in throwing over board I a crate of peaches, leaped into the j water after it with a life preserver. When she attempted to cling to the crate it revolved like a reel, and for two terrible hours she struggled with the crate, and had just closed her eyes in despair when she was drawn into a skiff’ by Mr. Huff, who rendered very valu able services in several other cases. Miss ltawden, of Louisville, jumped from the boat toward the Indiana shore, and the hungry tongues of flame licking along the surface of the water horribly burned her head and face. She had no life preserver, and only secured one end of a plank by clinging to the pantaloon leg of a man, who swam past her. Sho says that while moving through the water several gasping, drown ing wretches extended their hands toward her, some even grasping her hair and tearing it out by the hand ful. The last living object seen on board of th e boat was a little child three or four years of age, running about scream ing with fright, surrounded by flames and its legs, arms and face exposed to the terrible heat. The negro crew be haved badly, hurrying off the boat be fore there was any imminent danger and monopolizing all available means of sup port. Two colored men and one white man rowed away in a life boat that could have been used to convey twenty or thirty persons to shore. The river is being dragged for bodies this morning. Cincinnati, August B.— Twenty-two victims of the Pat Rogers disaster have been recovered. Rising Bun, August B.— Among the Pat Rogers victims is Myer Golilmann, of New Orleans. The friends of all ex cept Goldman have arrived. The offi cers of the Mail Line take charge of the unknown bodies. The disaster grows in magnitude, and altogether over fifty bodies are believed to have been re covered. Death of a Prominent Citizen.— Judge Abner P. Robertson, a gentleman well advanced in years, of respectability and fine business qualifications, and one who had been honored by the people of Augusta on several occasions, departed this life at his residence on Broad, be low Centre street, Thursday morning. Whilst a citizen of Columbia county, Judge R. held places of trust, and for a time represented his fellow-citizens in tho Legislature in a most acceptable manner. As Mayor of Augusta in 1854, during the prevalence of the yellow fever, he won a name for the faithfulness with which lie discharged the duties of his office, as well as for the benevolent spirit lie dis covered. He was seyeral times elected a mem ber of the City Council. He was uni formly prompt in the discharge of the duties incident to that position. By the exercise of great energy and prudence, he had accumulated a very nice property, and was always on the qui vine in matters of improvement. He had been for quite a lengthy period confined to his house. He has paid a debt which none of ns shall escape. He leaves a large family and circle of friends to mourn his departure. Peace to his soul ! Judge Robertson.—Judge Abner P. Robertson was buried from liis late re sidence yesterday afternoon, with civic and masonic honors. The funeral was largely attended. The pall bearers w'ere Mayor Estes and ex-Mayors Ford, Gar vin, Pliinizy, May, Gardiner, Russell and Allen. Rev. I>r. Evans officiated. Rev. Joseph Timmerman.—We find in the Edgefield Advertiser, of the 6tli instant, the following deserved notice of a son of our worthy fellow-citizen, Capt. W. T. Timmerman : “On Tuesday night last, a young gentleman closely identified with Edgefield, though having grown up and been educated in Georgia, preached in our Methodist church and gave great pleasure to many old friends of himself and his parents. We speak of the Rev. Joseph Timmerman, a nephew of our friend and fellow-citizen, John L. Addison, Esq. Mr. Timmer man, although not yet twenty-one years of age, has been a year or two in the ministry, and, judging from his matter, manner and style on Tuesday night, we predict for him not only a useful, but a distinguished career. Edgefield was charmed with this young preacher, so earnest, so polished, so unaffected, so coiicise and straightforward, and hope* to hear him often in the future. Mr. Timmerman lives at Bethany, Jefferson county, Georgia.” N ew Cotton. — Tho New Orleans Pica ■ yunc, of Thursday last, reports that on Wednesday Messrs. Schneider k Zuber bier received, per Morgan’s Louisiana and Texas Railroad, eleven bales new cotton, shipped by Messrs. A. Marion & Cos., of Corpus Cliristi, Texas. It is to go for ward to New York. On the 21st the same house received from the same con signor three bales new cotton, which were shipped, per steamer George Crom well, to New Y’ork. This was not desig nated as new in the manifests, and es caped attention at the time. This makes the total receipts of new cotton to date fifteen bales, all from Texas. Destruction of Caterpillars. —Paris green and arsenic are again being used to check the worms in the cotton fields. Those who have properly tried them estimate the cost of three distinct appli cations, which is deemed sufficient to keep them down until the crop matures, at less than two dollars per acre. Hon. James S. Hook.— lt was our in tention to suggest the name of this noble aud gifted gentleman as our choice for Congressional honors at the ap proaching election, subject, of course, to the action of the Nominating Con vention, to be held in Augusta, Rich mond county, in September next. We love Judge Hook, for he is one of us. a native of Jefferson county aud long a citizen of Washington county. We can truly claim him as oue of ns, and in ad dition to this he is one of the bright and comprehensive minds of Middle Georgia; a man calculated to do grand and signl service for this old State which we all love so well. But he, saying that “ the office should seek the man and not the man the office," has declined to enter the race. However, in declining, he has given his support aud influence to one in whom | we, as Georgians, can repose that full ; confidence and love which naturallv goes to the pure and talented. Judge Hook, iu refusing to run, suggests and sup ports Maj. Joseph B. Camming, of Ricli | rnond county, one who is fully possessed of every attribute of worth aud every evidence of stern iutegritv of character. W TANARUS, | [Sandersrillc Herald and Georgian. Put Into Bankruptcy. St. Lons, August B.— The creditors of Alexander, Dorman A Cos. concluded to-day to put the firm into bankruptcy. This action is based mainly upon the fact that about a week before Alexan der’s operations were made public the State’s Saving Association and Fourth National Bank discovered they held forged* receipts, and required liim to take them up or be exposed, whereupon he paid the State’s Saving Association SIIO,OOO, and the Fourth National Bank 81 J,OOO. Under the bankrupt law these banks will be obliged to turn these amounts over to be divided with their assets among the general creditors of the firm. ELECTRIC SPARKS.

The Advertiser explains the decrease thus : This deficiency, as it appears to be, is really not such, for the reason that cer tain stocks, bonds, etc., returned last year in this county by their owners resi dent here, have been returned this year under the law by which the corporations in which they are held in other counties of the State. THE COLORED CADET. The Manner in Which the Radical Secretary of War Got Rid of Him. [Washington Special. July 30, to the New York World.] Cadet Smith, the negro cadet, turned up as a thorn in the side of the Admin istration. This young negro was re ceived into West Point Academy after examination, and was allowed to con tinue at the institution until the time of graduation. Thus far the odious duty of cariug for the welfare of the cadet was not brought directly home to the Administration, but the time of graduat ing him had arrived, and wliat to do with him became a perplexing question. It is well known that he was discharged from West Point on the ground of his alleged deficiency in philosophy. This it is claimed was a mere subterfuge to get rid of him. Had he been allowed to graduate lie would have been entitled, under his commission, to an assignment in the army, and to assign him to a regi ment and place him on a footing with the white officers was too delicate a duty for the Secretary of War to undertake, and one which ho was glad to avoid at the sacrifice of the young man. Hence his deficiency. In to-day’s issue of Fred Douglass’ paper lie prints a three column card, in which he makes a strong case for himself. He goes over the details in connection with liis exami nation iu philosophy, and purports to give the identical interrogations pro pounded him, as well as the answers thereto. After leaving the academy under his order of dismissal he relates an interview had with Secretary Belk nap, when, in company with the negro Congressman Elliott, lie made an appli cation be reinstated. Smith having asked for an opportunity to be re-examined, the Secretary said, “I will not do it,” and gave as a reason that he believed he had had a fair examination, and also that he wanted another cadet at West Point from liia district, and that he had al ready notified Mr. Elliott to send some one there. The Secretary then used the following plain and decisive language, viz : “Gentlemen, I don’t wish to be misquoted as saying that I can’t give Mr. Smith a re-examination, for I say I ivon’t doit.” Smith then made another proposition, viz : He asked him to let him go back and join tho class below, thus losing one year by going over this course again, for although lie had al ready lost a year on account of troubles there the first year, lie was willing to lose another. “But,” said the Secreta ry, “I can’t do that without the recom mendation of the Academic Board at West Point, and they won’t recommend it. I was speaking with Col. linger, the Superintendent of the Academy, in New York last Sunday, about you, and he told me that the Academic Board would not recommend you to be rein stated.” The matter summed up in a nut-shell seems to bear the inference that the officers at West Point were in structed to have Smith dismissed for some seeming tangible cause, as army ] inriueuce, which had been at work I against him, succeeded, when the trying point came, in convincing the Radical Secretary of War that his assignment to duty would cause a lack of discipline in the regiment to which he might be or dered that he did not see fit to incur. WHAT CONSTITUTES A REAM OF WRAPPING PAPER. The American Grocer advises gro cers to count their wrapuiug paper. It has the following correspondence: Elkton, Ky., July 22, 1874. Editor American Grocer: 1 wrote you in reference to short paper a few days ago, stating that I had writ ten to the parties and would forward their reply. I herewith enclose the same, which you can do with as you like. Yours truly, R. F. Allison. The following is the letter enclosed: Midway, Ky., July 20, 1874. li. F. Allison, Esq.: Yours of the 17th iust, at hand, and iu reply would say that fourteen sheets paper is considered full count now, and none of the mills put up more thau that amount, unless specially ordered. A great deal of the paper is now put up ten sheets. Truly yours, Starks, Arnett & Cos. Upon the above the Grocer editorially comments as follows : The question of what constitutes a ream of wrapping paper puts on another phase, as will be seeu by the correspon dence, published under that head, be tween Mr. R. F. Allison and Messrs. Starks, Arnett k Cos., in which the ex traordinary claim is maintained that 14 sheets constitute a quire of paper, and very frequently 10 only. It is getting worse and worse. The custom here is to pack 480 sheets to a ream of manilla wrapping paper, and 400 sheets of straw paper generally, but as much less as the wholesale grocer orders. Iu tea papers the practice varies the same way, but seldom less than 16 'sheets are packed. It is also well known here that Western paper makers put 10 to 14 sheets to the quire and still have as thick a bundle as those that pac-k more here, which is said to be owing to ! the use of wheat instead of rye straw in making it, as the wheat straw does not allow of as thin a paper being made as when rye straw is used. Iu that way j Western wrapping paper makers under i sell the Eastern manufacturers. It is all a downright, outrageous win dle, and any wholesale grocer that con nives at it is as guilty as the manufac turer that puts it up. In fact, he is more so, as the manufacturer does not actually swindle the wholesale merchant, while the latter does deceive the retailer. A ream is 4SO sheets, and no man can make anything else out of it. This is one of those abases that the Merchants’ Protective Association might very well take hold of and bring to bear their united influence to rectify. An Investigation Ordered. New Y’ork, August 7.— lt is stated this evening that the decision of Gov. Dix in regard to the charges against Mayor Havemever was served on the Mayor this morning, and is to the effect that the Governor orders an official in vestigation, embracing all the charges, to be conducted by the Attorney-Gen eral before, probably, one of the judges of this county. Spalding has 13.883 acres in corn, 13,- 926 in cotton, 3,996 in oats, and 3,026 in wheat. FROM HART COUNTY. MEETING OF THE DEMOCRACY.

Radical Meeting Near Millettville—A Trio of Precious Scamps—Leslie, Nix and Mayer on the Stump They Abuse Each Other and Tell How the State is Robbed—A Trip to Seriven — Politics and Crops. Along the Port Royal Railroad, J August sth, 1874. j To the Editors of the Chronicle and Sentinel: For the edification of your friends and neighbors “over the way,” we have de cided to write you liow political meet ings are conducted in this Radical-rid den and seemingly God-forsaken county. A meeting of the Republican party was called to meet at Black’s store, near Millettville, on the Ist instant. Office seekers and corn-flekl darkey speakers are as numerous in this (Barnwell) county as unrepentant sinners are in the devil’s dominion, and especially was it the case at this meeting ; but as nobody wished to hear them they were made, by force of circumstances, to give room to the “big fish” to tell what they knew about stealing public money; and, furthermore, to tell as ex-mem bers of the Legislature liow they help to sink the State financially; liow they plundered the people and how they would like to give them another turn of the screw. There were but three gentlemen of prominence present on the occasion. A trio of grander scamps never met. They are, according to their own speeches, three of the most abandoned, bribe-taking, devil-loving, God-forsaken sinners that ever went un hung. First and most prominent was ex-Senator Leslie, a white carpet-bag ger. The second man on the docket was a pound-cake-looking government pap eater, better known as Julius May er, ' and last, but by no means least, Fred Nix. Mayor and Nix, , like Leslie, are ex-members of the Leg islature, and, of course, knew all about each other’s rogueries during their term, which they didn’t hesitate to expose as each man’s turn came. The meeting was called to order by one of Africa’s most ignorant sons in the usual confused and bungling way; and such cursing and swearing, such a trans gression of God’s holy writ, and such doings generally we have never before witnessed. Leslie was on the stage con structed for the occasion, among others, and made a remark that your corres pondent didn’t exactly lieai-, when Nix, a negro about the color of a ginger cake made with bad molasses, stepped up to him and said : “You are ad n liar and a thief, and I’ll prove it on you,” to which Leslie made no reply. Nix, after quiet was restored, proceeded to tell how Leslie stole $202,000 out of money appropriated to buy that “ forty acres and a mule,” but not being as fluent and sharp as liis brother L., lie failed to make the desired im pression. Mayer and Leslie both charged Nix with bribery —said he voted for Pat terson in the last Senatorial election for seven hundred dollars. Mayer also stated that Nix had a bill passed in the inter est of a Frenchman for a hundred dollar check that wasn’t worth five cents on presentation, all of which Nix tried to refute. “ When rogues fall out, honest men will get their dues,” is an adage that will not hold good in this State, since they are all more or less inclined to take little things that don’t belong to them. Old John Robison’s circus in full blast could not be more interesting than this trio, telling how each other stole. Leslie, we are told, wants a seat in the Legislature simply to have the Court House carried to Blackville; and we will here state for his benefit if he will use his influence to take it to Au gusta or Port Royal, he shall have our vote. We must not forget to tell you that one of the late County Commis sioners, fresh from the penitentiary, was on the ground strutting aiound with the pride of a peacock. People outside of this State haveu’t the remotest idea of political rascality. It is almost impos to stretch the imaginative powers enough to conceive of it as carried on here. We are to have another meeting, of which you shall be informed for the pur pose of sending out a special reporter to write it up, as we feel wholly incompe tent to do the subject justice. Politics just now seem to be the all absorbing theme “across the bor der” as well as here. An excursion given by the steamer Rosa gave us a chance to see aud hear what our friends in Scriven were doing outside of the Grange business (that being especially flourishing just now), aud we regretted to learn that legislative aspirants are sadlv numerous there as well as here. I was pleased to meet among others Mr. Virgil Burns, of No. 6, Central Rail road, who is, we understand, a candi date for the House of Representatives, i blionld the Democracy of Scriven center upou this pleasant and affable gentle- I man it will not need a remission of sins, j as we know him to be a man of honor, | virtue and integrity.

Yours, “Some of These Days.” The Casey and Piucliback Faction Vic torious. New Orleans, August 7. —ln the Re publican Convention Antonio Dubelet, the present incumbent, was nominated for State Treasurer by a large majority. There were more votes east than there were delegates present, but on the mo tion of Frank Moore, the opposing can didate, the nomination was made unani mous. The results of the Convention have been an unexpected victory of the Casey and Pinchback faction over Kel logg, Packard Jc Cos. The Convention adjourned sine die. The closing pro ceedings were apparently more orderly and harmonious. It is understood that the nominations will receive the united support of the party. C. S. Nash (col ored), of St. Landry, was nominated for Congress from the Sixth District. The New Crop Coming in Freely. Savannah, Ga., August B. —The new crop is coming in freely.
