Ono result, says the New Tone Sun. of put

in the South is that general complaints are be
ing made about money lost while passing
through Southern mails.
The meat is covered completely, in a porce
lain bowl, with very hot water, and oil is then
poured upon tho water. The air is thus ex
cluded. and the coagulation of the albumen in
the external part of tho meat doubtless aids in
preserving it.

A commission appointed by the French Min

French coal owners in the north of France are

English coal upon the northern French mar

The new mod . of collecting on the Hudson

time ago as far up tho road as Spuyten Duval,
has been extended to Poughkeepsie. Wednes
day collectors meet all through trains at that
depot and proceed north and south with tin m. j
The conductors on these trains now simply go 1

the collector follows and takes them up,

Presidency of tho Atlantic and Pacific Uailroad.
the new Directors have elected Andrew Peirce 1
President and General Manager: D. I’. Garri- .
son. of St Louis, Vice-President, and Clinton
J(. Fisk, Treasurer. Col. Scott's reason for re- I
signing grew out of tho conditions enforced j
upon him by hi election to the Presidency of
the Pennsylvania Uailroad—namely, to confine
himself as much as [mumble to the administra
tion of the latter road.
Tho Saratoga correspondent of the New
York Sun says that from tho best information
the money lost, or won in the pools sold there j
on the races during the two meetings ju-t
closed will not fall much short of a million do!- j
lars Five per cent, of all money paid for
tickets in the French pools rebates to the as-'
social ion. and th three per cent, commission I
charged in the silling pools is divided he-j
tween the association and Doc. Underwood,
who is probably the best and most famous
pool auctioneer in the world.
To cut down the record onc-quarter of a
second in a four mile rac- is an exceedingly
delicate operation, calling for scientific accu- ]
racy in every detail. Lot tts consider what !
quarter seconds are. 1 , Lexington's time
7:19} there arc exactly 1.75 ft quarter seconds.
In a mile there are exactly 1.7(10 yards.—
Therefore ono yard difference in tho track
would account for a difference of a quarter
second in the lime. The line actually run by a
racer in passing other horses and getting posi
tion often makes a greater difference.
How is it that girls can always tell a mar
ried man from a single one ? The fact is in
disputable. Blackwood says that " tho fact of
matrimony or bachelo ship m written ho legi
bly in a mao's appearance that no ingenuity
can conceal it. Everywhere there ia some in
explicable instinct Ilia! ti ll us whether an
individual (whose name, fortune aird circum
stances aro totally unknown) ho or lie not a
married man. Whether it is a certain sub
dued look, such an that which characterizes the
lions of a menagerie, and distinguishes them
from the lords of tho desert, wo cannot tell;
but tlie truth is so, we positively affirm.”
lion. Marshall Jewell, late Minister to Rns
sia, an 1 tho recently appointed successor to
Mr. (Ire-swell, as Postmaster General, has
gone to Washington to enter upon tho duties
of his office In connection with this ovent,
the following statistics may ho interesting :
In tho decade from IHiil to 1874, tho number of
letters transmitted by the United States mails,
lias increased from 335,000,100 in 1804, to
900,01)0,000 in 1871 a greater increase than
has ever taken place in any country during tho
same long'll of time. In the first five years
of the decade, the rate of increase was 50 per
coni., and for the last five years it was 8') per
cent. The cost or handling 502,000,000 letters
in 1861, was $ 33,(193, MM), and the cost of 900,-
000,0000 for tho year ending June 30, 1874,
was about. $34,000,000. This shows that an in
crease of 80 per cent, in tho amount of busi
ness has increased the expenditures of the
department 44 per oelit, In 1808, tho annual
deficit was $6,437,000; in 1873, it was $6,180,000.
Tho Hocrotaiy of tho Immigration Board at
New York estimates a falling off of about fifty
per cent, llii year from last. Immigrants
have been so large a factor in tho growth and
progress of this country, t liar the reason for
this decrease becomes an interesting problem.
A partial explanation may bo found in last
year's panic. Perhaps half tho foreign horn
that roadi our shores in ordinary years, do so
on passage money advanced by friends who
have preceded them. Last Fall and Winter
thousands of industrious naturalized citizons
were thrown out of employment for months.
They found il difficult enough to support them
selves and families, without saving anything
o help friends ami relatives across tho briny
deep. Aside from this explanation for tho
sudden decrease this year, it must bo confessed
■ that the condition of the poorest classes in
(treat Britain and Ireland is ameliorating every
year, while in this country it daily becomes
worse. If this double process continues at tho
present rate for (he coming decade, America
will possess no attractions for tho foreigner,
and all immigration will cease.
Under a rooont decision of \ttorney-Gcnoral
Williams, a 1 i*i>.7-i-l acros of public land, grant
ed to several railroad companies, revert to the
Government- by the conditions on which the
grants were made. In this opinion the Attor
nev-Gonoral reverses tlie rulings that formerly
prevailed in the I.and Office, to the effect that
land once granted to railroad companies could
not revert to tho Government except by some
special legislation on the part of Congress,
The lands referred to lie in Alabama, Florida,
Louisiana, Texas and Michigan. They will
now he open to settlement, subject to tho usual
conditions of tho General Land Office.
The taste of the Parisians shows itself in tho
very smallest things. A student of shop win
dows -especially if he comes from America—
will find lus ideas considerably enlarged, and
his taste improved as ho walks along the
streets. Ho has been accustomed to dirty win
dows, and a promiscuous collection of stale
fruit, peaches in fly-blown bottles, preserves in
coarse jars, with game, brooms, raw meat, veg
etables, all jumbled together without order, as
if they had been thrown from a pitchfork.
Over the water the w indows arc clean and wide.
In them are groups of game, arranged as Land
seer would have loved to paint them. Syrups
and jellies are in decorated glasses; a grotto of
rock work, with a tiny fountain, keeps fresh
the tisli; on the other side are fruits in pyra
mids and artistic array, piled up with an eve to
contrast Nowhere is there a trace of dirt or
grease; the odor of the store is fresh and pure
everything is inviting, flushing repulsive. A
Parisian who saw our bloody meat counters
would tliiuk that an American ate like a wild
beast. And it must he confessed that there
would ho some reason for tho impression.—

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Kn ;uirrr.
a he has ‘
seen the "quinine douche" recommended by
‘ -is Ju n-fuil used to the great relief of
the sufferer. This is what Appleton's Journal <
said about it : “A valuable contribution to the
discussion on tho germ-theory of disease is 1
made by Professor Biuz, of Bonn. On invos- ,
tigating into tho nature and true cause of the j
hay fever, he discovered vegetable organisms i
iu the nasal secretions, which wore never j
present save during an attack of the disease 1
By using a neutral solution of sulphate of j
quinine, applied with a asal douche, tho ani- ;
malenhe were completely destroyed. In addi
tion to the scientific value *f this fact, the
simplicity of the remedy will commend it To ,
those who arc afflicted with this annoying com
plaint."
General Gram has been absent from the '
seat of Government since the adjournra- nt of
Congress, in June. and he now announces his j
intention to remain at Long Branch until about
the first of October, f It is well that lie does i
not read the papers this Summer, or he would
get some advice that is more pertinent than ;
palatable. The Etuning Post. for instance,
suggests that it would be seemly in the Piesi
dent to pay more att union to hi> duties. It
cannot perceive that tho conduct of tho Chief
Kxecutivo and some of his Cabinet, iu letting
the public business go to the dogs, while they
are off frolicking around the cou; try, ' attains
fully to the measure of a just regard for the i
unties which their public positions place upon I
them. The Post characterizes as "a very un
fortunate condition of affairs" the necessity
tlic Secretary of the Treasury is under to make
the journey to Long Branch or some other junk
eting place, whenever he wishes to consult tho *
President in matters of public moment. The
Boston Adsertiser. desiring to place as little re- |
striction as possible upon the horse-racing,
frolicking, aid the oilier diversions of the
Bummer capital that accord so fully with the ,
natural tastes of the President, proposes he i
shall return to Washington at least once a fort
night during the recess of Congress for the
purpose of holding Cabinet meetings. The
Post supplements the suggestion with the re
mark that this observance by the President of
of his official duties "would not lead a foreign
Minister—a stranger in this country—to ask
where the seat of the Federal Government is.
It would tend to reduce to tolerable propor
tions the evils of 'absenteeism' which, as a
system, is growing altogether too large for de
cency or safety.” But why should these pa
pers lecture the President ? They knew his
habits and his tastes, and they helped to make
hiui what he vs.—Paliimor* Gantt*.

An Interesting Law Suit.— The At
lanta News, of Thursday, says : A few
days since Dr. E. J. Palmer brought
suit in Justice Walker’s court against
one Heath for services rendered iu a
recent attack of sickness. Mr. Heath
thought the bill exorbitant, and hence
the suit. The trail developed the fact
that Dr. Palmer did not have a diploma,
but a certificate from one of the profes
sors of the Jeffersonian University,
stating that the doctor did graduate iu
that school in 1838.
The attorney for tlie defense admitted
that the doctor was a graduate of the
school he claims for his Alma Mater,
but moved a non-suit on the ground that
he was not practicing medicine in con
formity with the laws of the State of
Georgia, and the law requiring all phy
sicians to possess diplomas from Geor
gia schools, legally charactered, or a
license from one of the two examining
boards. Tho court held that the motion
was a good one, and dismissed the suit
at the doctor’s cost.
If it is not, it may as well be under
stood, for such is the law, that physi
cians who are not exempt by virtue of
having been in practice in Georgia since
July, 1847, or since 18(11, must, unless
they have graduated since the 7th Feb
ruary, 1874, have certificates of qualifi
cation from the board of the school to
which they belong. Otherwise, they are
subject to indictment, and, if found
guilty, to 8500 find and six months’
labor in the chain gang. The very
moment any person, no matter who,
white or black, male or female, crosses
the threshold of a sick person’s cham
ber to administer physic, or do any
other thing connected with the healing
art for any kind of reward, the law is
infracted and the penalty attaches. We
imagine our solicitors w ill have a liv y
time some of these days gathering the
runaway violators of the law up. We
have thought proper to say this much.
Dr. Palmer’s case is|a straw,and it shows
which wav the wind blows.
Interesting to Ladies. —A fashion
corr. spo nleut, writing from Paris, says
that the polonaise is to be definitely
abandoned as a part of indoor costume,
or of a silk suit, and is only to be worn
in heavy materials, such as velvet and
cloth. In velvet the polonaises are to
be male very long and looped slightly
at one side, the looping to be caught up
with a b ickle and bow of ribbon. Bon
nets are to be worn rather larger, and
trimmed with a profusion of i jwers; a
wreath, placed inside the brim instead
of around the crown, will be the most
marked innovation. The qr lion of
strings or no strings has b. , left in
abeyance and probably will be settled
later in the season by the fair wearers
themselves. Some effort has been made
here to introduce boots of buff and g y
lipen to be worn with dresses of je
same shade, but the effect is bad, r ,and
the articles unbecoming. Natural flow
ers are much worn at one side of the
waist, and arranged in the following
manner : A small bouquet is placed in a
tiny glass holder containing a few drops
of water, which is then concealed in the
folds of the sash.
Jes So. —The Columbus Enquirer
says : “The Mayor's is one of the public
courts of the country, and a good many
subscribers pay for a newspaper to learn
all that is transpiring in such courts.
Men get drunk, commit flagrant viola
tions of the law. are tried publicly, and
then beg reporters to leave their names
out of the published record. We have
hitherto complied with these requests
the tirst offense, but we are getting
weary of them. Why do not men have
respect for themselves, obey the laws,
and give no cause for an arrest ? The
newspaper should be a conservator of
morals, and we find that the violators of
our city ordinances, if they have any
respect for themselves, fear more the
newspaper publication than tl*ey do the
punishment imposed by law. This is
true, and reporters prevent disorders
when they give to the world the pro
ceedings of our courts. They do good
for society. Let any one stay in an of

ly weary of this begging of. Why can’t
the parties be orderly as gentlemen

they deserve punishment.”

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
renew them when they exhibit signs of
decay. In Dr. Tutt’s Liver Pills the
dyspeptic, the bilious, the debilitated
and the nervous will find the most genial
restorative ever offered to suffering.hu

Weekly Review of Augusta .Market.
Augusta, Ga.. Friday Afternoon, 1
August 2s. 1874. j
The Situation of Trade.
With a sigh of relief, our mercantile com
munity bids August and the las: month of Sum
mer good-bye. it has been mai l:ed through
out with excessive dullness, embarrassment,
unrelieved by scarcely one realized hope.
Here as well as in all other markets of the
Southern States profits upou sales have uot
reached expenses of hou-es. Every branch of
mercantile business, manufactures, transporta
tion, together with every species of handicraft,
have languished for want of patronage. The
only matter for congratulation is that this
lethargy and stagnation has not increased indi
vidual indebtedness, for the main reason,
hardly any one had enough credit to get ac
commodations.
We enter the first of September, tlie first
mouth of our business season, with buoyant
hopes for the immediate future. This is based
upon the general condition of the country,
which is. plauters as a general rule, have kept
out of extraordinary debt during the past
planting season. Hardly one can be named
who has overdrawn the gross aggregate value
of his cottou, while others have not drawn
over fifty per cent . and the great body who
have demanded advances at all have not taken
over twenty-five. There are this year more
who have not borrowed any money at all than
any year since the war. The grain crop being
a large one. the foreign demand for that costly
article will he small the coming year. The
general situation of the country, therefore, au
gurs that the next will be a far better year
than the past. We will enter upon the mer
cantile year with assets far overbalanc ng lia
bilities. with full granaries, a fair cotton crop,
and less debts than are usuually overhanging
us all. For this state of affairs we owe thanks
to the planters, who have almost totally revo
lutionized the system which they pursued of
planting all cotton and no com until it brought
the whole State of Georgia to the very verge
of bankruptcy, and threatened to involve
everything in one common min. They pur
sued this folly until their factors and merchants
had nothing left to advance them, and left the
direct alternative, make bread at home or do
without it. And this year they have made an
earnest effort to do so, aud it is indeed gratify
ing to know that they have succeeded in se
curing enough to supply their demands until a
new crop is made. Os course these remarks
are intended to apply to the whole State, and
not to isolated individuals aud localities.
Review of the Week.
The money market is as stagnant as it can
well be. The hanks uniformly report that they
are drained quite as dry as prudence will ad
mit. They have extended, and are not ex
tending to-day any accommodations which can
be avoided, allowing almost every opportunity
to pass to make loans upon the very host paper
in town. It is supposed that they will procure
enough to move the cotton crop when tho time
comes, but even here difficulties are antici
pated. But money for this specific purpose
will of course como from some source or other,
for cotton is demanded by the whole world, and
there is money in this world, and a plenty of it.
The Dry Goods Trade.
During the week representatives from nearly
all of our groat houses have gone North to pur
chase Fall and Winter stocks. Whilst antici
pating a fine season, facilities for rapid transit
are now so perfeet that the extent of immediate
purchases will be determined strictly by the
amount of supply and the indications of the
future for each given article. Full supplies
•vill only be bought iu a few specific articles
not subjected to extraordinary fluctuations.
By reference to tlie quotations below it will
ho seen that prices of nearly every grade of
cotton goods have been lowered. They are in
sympathy with tlie new crop of cotton, aud still
further reductions, whilst not wholly expect
ed, would create no surprise. The Augusta
manufactuied grades are without change, but
tho market is totally without animation.
Gold and Silver,
In the important, although almost wholly ob
solete matter of coin, the Augusta market is a
standing committee of ono. and consistently
makes the same uniform report from week to
week, month to month, as follows;
Gold. —Buying, 108 ; selling at 110.
Silver.— buying, 102 ; selling at 105.
New York Exchange— J prem.
Stocks and Bonds.
As is always tho case when Stocks and Bonds
are prostrated by the misfortunes of a country,
many people are found with money to invest in
them. It is no exception now* and hence
there is a daily demand for the better grades
of these Securities. During the week the
Georgia Railroad Slock has declined from 81 to
80@80A. Central declined from 65 to 60@62;
Georgia Railroad Bonds from 95 to 90(&92. and
the Maeou and Augusta, endorsed by the Geor
gia Bonds, from 90 to 88. Tho balance remain
as quoted last week.
Atlanta 7’s have gone ofi from 77 to 70. In
Augusta Factory Stock the extraordinary reduc
tion of from 170 to 150 is noted. The Stock of
the Merchants and Planters Bank is reduced
by striking off the outside figure in last week’s
quotation, which was 92} to 95. We have no
other changes to make under this head.

The Cotton Market.
It is now virtually the first day of September,
and yet ten bales of new cotton would cover
the receipts of tho now crop to date. Tho sea
son is fully two weeks late, with indications
that planters will hold hack the hulk of the
crop much later than when under pressure of
debt. Tho following will show the course of
tho market from day to day since our last

The Provision Market.
Bacon.—During the week Bacon has been
more or less excited in all the markets in the
United States. Jui Baltimore and Louisville an
advance of fully 1 cent Las been established,
whilst in Augusta the response has not gone
beyond }. and barely that. With no confidence
in the present rates, onr merchants have al
lowed their stocks to nearly rnn out. preferring
to step entirely out to dealing in an article
promising no profit if not a positive loss. Au
gusta usually sells more Bacon in one day than
the gross amount now in town. We quote: Clear
Sides, 14}: Clear Ribbed Sides, 14} : Shoul

Corn.— The anticipation that Com would ra
pidly decliue has not been realized. It has re
inaiued steady since last Monday, when White
lost 2 cents and Yellow and Mixed 3. We
quote: White, 21 08@1 10; Yellow and

Augusta Flour and Meal Market.
Flour has been uniform throughout the
week. We heard of sales Thursday of City
Mills at less than the quotations following, but
it was understood that the purpose was to real
ize. The market to-day stands thus: City
Mills Supers. 26 50; Extra. 27: Double Extra,
27 50; Fancy. 28. Westerns 50c. less.

House Keepers’ Market Prices.
Hucksters insist tiiat articles in their line
are very scarce, and that producers demand the
highest prices. Green Moats at the Butcher’s
stall remain the same, hut Chickens have ad
vanced, so that 35 and 40 cents is demanded for
frying s ze. This is. perhaps, tlio difficult di
vision of our market to review, for the reason
that hardly the dealers are agreed, but as the
following is nearly correct:
Apples—green, per bushol, 75; Butter, por

COTTON REVIEW.
The New York Cotton market has been rather
more active than the previous week, and values
are } higher. This improvement, however,
may be attributed to manipulation of speculation
by Bulls, who were confident that bhort interest
was quite large aud liberal buying to cover im
parted strong tone to market. So far as the
movement in spot Cotton is concerned, there
has been no improvement to speak of, as ex
porters have not been in market, and the call
