WEDNESDAY....OCTOBER 28, 1874.
LA DAME AITX CAMELIAS.
BY T. B. ALDRICH.
I think that was the play:
The hoose was packed from pit to dome
With the gallant and the gay.
Who had come to eee the Tragedy,
And while the houra away.
There was the ruined spendthrift,
And beauty in her prime ;
There wa> the grave Historian.
And there was the man of Rhyme,.
And the early Critic, front to front.
To see the play of crime.
And there was pompons Ignorance,
And Vice in flowere iace ;
Sir Crau and Sir Pwwtanw,
And the music played apace.
Bat of all that c-owd I only saw
A single, single face!
That of a girl whom I had known
In the Bummers long ago.
When her breath was like the new-mown hay,
Or the sweetest flowers that grow: ,
When her heart was light and her soul was white
As the Winter's dr.veu snow.
And there she sat. with her great brown eyee,
They wore a troubled look;
And I read the history of her life
As it were au open book :
And saw her 8001, like a slimy thing
In the bottom of a brook.
There she sat in her rustling silk,
With diamonds on her wrist.
And on her br w a gleaming thread
Of pearl and amethyst.
“ A cheat, a gilded grief!” I said.
And my eyes were liUed with mist.
I could not see the players play;
I beard the mtwic moan :
It moaned like a drnmal Aatnrnn wind,
That diet* in the wood** alone ;
And when it utopped I heard it ft till—
The mournful monotone!
What if the Count were true or false ?
I did not care, not I;
Wliat if Camille for Annand died ?
I did not see her die.
There sat a woman opposite
With piteous lip and eye !
The great green curtain fell on all,
On laugh, and wine, and woe.
Just M death some day will fall
'Twixt us and life. I know'.
The play was done, the bitter play,
Tbe paople turned to go.
And did tbev see the Tragedy ?
They s*w tbe painted scene:
Thev saw Arm nid, tiie jealous fool,
And the sick Parisian queen :
But they did not see the Tragedy—
The one 1 saw, 1 mean !
Thev did not seo that cold-cut face,
'lliat furtive look of care;
Or seeing her jewels, only said, '
“The lady's rich and fair."
But I tell you, 'twas the Play of Life,
And that woman played Ilespair!
jFOII THK CHBOHICLE AN II SENTINEL.]
TIIE KINO OF TEBKORS.
There roams thro’ the land a ghastly king,
And lie hath a cold and withering breath ;
Wi.erever he goes follow ruin and blight—
And we name the weird wand'rer Death;
Nor doubt no' fes.r knows this monarch grim.
For he pauses at every hearth ,
Nor seeks he whether the chosen one
Be of humble or princely birth.
Now he enters the rich man’s halls of state,
Where minstrels are piping sweet;
Where i hero's a sheen of silk anrlraro perfume.
And the dancers are circling fleet,
And each brow grows pale and the revelers
shrink.
And the music dies out in a groan,
While pallidly and silently from dance and
song
gome soul passes out at his beck alone.
Then be glides to the humble ingle-nook.
Whore t ere hloo.nß a sole hearth-flower,
And he freezes the laugh on the rosy lips,
And on the brow sets bis sign t of power,
Then stern Azrach silently s:eais a Say,
Never hooding tlio vvail of sorrow ;
For elsewhere there's work for him to-night
Other skills must bo garnered ere morrow.
Now 'tis a student grave he calls away
From his books and hi* dreams of glory,
Nor heeds ho the anguished cry for time—
For time hut to weave fame’s story.
Now the statesman proud, and the trusting
brido,
And the mother so loving and true ;
All. all must fall! for alas: every hour
Grim Death must his triumph renew.
And wo feebly ask, with questioning vain,
The secrot of Death’s weird power;
Gh. why tins brooding shadow of pain—
This bolt th t falls every hour ?
And a voice within doth softly answer—
Not for human lieu this lore,
The master-mind that shaped our earth
This secret alone must know !
And our poor human hearts would faint
beneath *
This burden of ceaseless sorrow.
Did not a merciful Providence yield
To grief's night and calmor morrow,
And teach ns to say with grave content,
“Aftor life's labor 'tie swoot to rost,”
And to own. with uncomplaining lips,
1 hat all that is. is best.
Thomson, October 14. E. A. N.
A REGRET.
The Summer hath blown its red bubbles of
clover.
The roses’ hearts, flooded with swoetness,
rain down,
And the lily uplifts its gold torch to discover
Lost petals, like jewels, gone out of its
crown.
Ah me ! ah mo! that the Summer must go,
And flowers lie dead in a gravo 'neath the
snow.
The Summer hath drawn up bright threads
from tlio river
To weave iliem m rainbow looms glittering
high.
And wav s rippling shallow, where dry rushes
quiver.
Wait vainly tlio silver-drop wob from the sky.
All me! ah mo! that tlio Summer must go,
And the threads weave a pall o’er the river
of snow.
The Summer hath crumbled the twigs whore
the bird
Hung its nest and brooded its amber mouth
young;
Its echoing song in tho distanco is hoard.
The saddest farewell, uuworded. e’er sung,
Ah me! oh me! that tlio Summer must go,
And the warm nost hold eggs of Winter's cold
snow.
The Rummer hath robbed the bright river, tho
rosos.
Tlio nest lings of home, and my heart of its
peace;
It hath gone, and tho ghost of its dead self
discloses
No secret to teach me a like glad release. <
Ah mo ! ah me! I hat the Summer must go, ’
And my heart with its sadness beat on with the
snow.
NOT LOST.
Being rooted like trees in one placo.
Our brain foliage tossed
Like the leaves of the trees that are caught
By the four winds of lieavou, some thought
Biows out of the world iuto space
And seems lost.
Wo fret, the mind labors, heart bleeds;
We believe and we fear,
We behove and we hope, in a lie.
Or a truth : or we doubt till we die,
Purblindly examining creeds
With a sneer.
To life we apply an inch rule
And to its bestowsr:
F.ach to self an infallible priest.
Each struts to tho top of the feast,
And says to Ins brother, "Thou fool,
Go down lower.”
But fall'u like trees from our place—
Hid. imbedded, emmossed—
Our dead loaves are raked up for mould;
And some that wore sun-ripe and gold,
Blown out of the world into space.
Are not lost.
LISTENING.
Her white hand flashes on the strings,
Sweeping a swift and silver chord.
And wild and strong the great harp rings
Its throng of throbbing tones abroad;
Music and moonlight make a bloom
Throughout the rich and somber room.
Oh sweet the long and shivering swells,
And sweeter still the lingering flow,
De ioious as remembered bells
Dying in distance long ago.
When evening winds from heaven were blown.
And the heart yearned for things unknown!
Across the leafy window-place
Peal's seals the stainless sapphire deep;
One sentry star on outer space
His quenchless lamp lif.s. half asleep;
Peace broods where failing waters flow,
Peace where the heavy roses blo.v.
And on the windless atmosphere
Wait all the fragrances of June :
The Summer night is hashed to hear
The passion of the ancient tune:
Then why these sudden tears that start ?
And why"this pierced and aching heart ?
Ah. listen! Wo and all our pain
Are mortal, and diviue the song;
Idly our topmost bight we gain—
It spurns that bight, and far along
Seeks in the heavens its splendid mirk.
And we fall backward on the dark !
FAR APART.
Beneath the quaint old bridge you hear
The waves make music as they pass;
And. winding to the elm tree near.
You see the pathway through the grass
Whete wo were wont to walk, alas !
The river wanders as of old
Beneath the shade of willow trees;
Tho sunlit waters gleam like gold.
And ripple to the gentle breeze:
But I am far from thee and these 1
'The sky be nils over broad and blue.
And.’in the soft and mellow light,
You tread the lane our footsteps knew
In former days, when days were bright:
Do these days bring such sweet delight ?
And still that lane with grass is green;
With fragrant flowers the banka are fair;
In golden gloss and silver sheen
The bees still haunt the balmy air;
But yon will fail to find me there.
Again, perchance. I may not see
The rustling rows of willow trees
(Which lent a leafy canopy
When we strolled underneath at ease);
For I am far from thee and these!
Oar Jovs foreaks us. Soon does Spring
Pass by and for tho Summer call;
Soon do the birds lose heart to sing,
When fading leaves in Anrumn fall;
And Winter is the end of aIL
I RICHMOND SUPERIOR COURT.
OCTOBER TERM, 1574.
Richmond Superior Court met yester
day morning, Judge William Gibson
presiding.
Judge Gibson stated that he had risen
from a lied of illness to open the Court.
His condition, however, would not per
mit him to proceed with business, and
lie would, therefore, simply organize the
juries and adjourn until next Monday.
Charge to the Grand Jury.
Judge Gibson delivered the following
charge to the grand jury:
It is perhaps important that you who
constitute the most important part of
government should understand its ob
jects anu duties. A strong man may,
jerhap3, protect and defend himself;
the rich certainly can. Yet society is
composed of both the strong and the
weak, the rich and the poor, the ignor
ant and the wise, the good’and the bad.
To provide against anarchy, bloodshed
and violence, it became necessary to
form government, and all just, wise and
good men have fully recognized their
valne and importance to society.—
Protection to person and property, then,
is the highest and first duty of govern
ment. Every man must feel secure of
his person from death and violence, and
in his property of every kind, as well as
his good name from shame and infamy.
Governments may not furnish guards to
every man, but can enact and enforce
penalties for every offense. Govern
ments may not secure possession and
eujovment of property at all times, but
should afford ample means for its re
covery. The foul and slanderous tongue
may not be silenced, yet ample and
suitable recoveries should be provided.
If, then, as membera of society, we be
come parts and parcels of government
we should scrupulously enforce and ob
serve all its requirements.
The present fundamental law, both of
the Htate and the United States, pro
vides that no man shall be deprived of
life or liberty without the benefit of
counsel, a public, fair and impartial
trial, in conformity to law then en
acted. It will not do, geut.emen,
for you or me to say, “ No one has com
plained;” but you, as jurors, must in
quire diligently, and ascertain if any
person has been deprived of life, liberty
or property without due process of law.
it will not do for you to excuse your
consciences by saying, “There was very
zreat provocation.” This can only be
ascertained by legal investigation in
the modes pre-eribed. I charge
vou, gentlemen, it is your sworn
duty to inquire if any acts of violence of
this character have been committed in
this county—l care not for the provoca
tion—and to have every person connect
ed therewith, from the jailor to the
policeman, including every other actor
fully punished therefor, and if our jail
is insecure and the city government cnu
not or will not protect us against vio
lence and mobs, the sooner the fact is
made fully to appear the better it will
be for us. I am fully aware that vio
lence and resistance is attempted to be
justified by usurpation and aggressions
by U. S. Grant and his Congress, and
drunken judges, and that we find in our
midst many apologists, both for the one
and the other. But, gentlemen, one is
the upper and the other the nether mill
stone, and between them constitutional
liberty is ground so fine that 1 fear we
shall only enjoy it as an epicurean does
the warm roll, after its manipulation by
the baker. If our wisest statesmen can
apologise and justify the usurpations of
President Grant, and in violation of the
precedent of the immortal Washington
and the purest of statesmen like Madi
son, Jackson, Polk and Pierce, com
mend him to us upon Jeffersonian Dem-.
ocratic principles, and this crowd ot ex
asperated people overturn law and prder
to aid in this movement, what may we
hope for American Republicanism and
Htate government. If your jail is not
secure make it so; if your jailor cannot
be protected by au armed police and
four volunteer companies, turn it over
to better and braver men; but, gentle
men, let us maintain law and order un
der our present State government, or
the pretext will be given to our modern
Csesar to burthen and oppress us with
more troops, and if a drunken judge
can by an order create the neces
sity for overturning State governments,
it will be sustained by statesmen of
great wisdom. Can we be too careful in
Georgia in discharging every duty ? Let
us furnish to usurpers no excuses to
overturn our present State goverument.
A goverument which attempts to de
velop a people by its aids and assist
ance to private, public and personal en
terprises must necessarily become cor
rupt, because rings and combinations
must and will control it. No able bodied
man, or set of men, has any right to put
his hand even through the agencies of
goverument into tiie pockets of his
neighbor to aid, assist or help in tho de
velopment of his trade or business, or in
the discharge of the duties imposed.—
It seems to have been left to this gov
ernment of limited and prescribed
powers by a written constitution and
every man sworn to support it, to open
lv violate the great right of the indi
vidual citizen. I sec by the papers that
in violation of the laws of your State
those great gambling shops of Kentucky
and Virginia are, through their agents,
selling their tickets. I charge you, geu
tlemen, that the oaths you have taken
requiro you to present those agents tor
punishment and suppression. Men must
be taught to live by houest toil and not
by plundering the iunocent and igno
rant Loafing vagrants, both white and
black, still infests your suburbs, com
mons and street crossings. Some of
them steal, some cheat, some rob find
plunder for a living, others rot in filth
and rags and generate diseases. All aie
criminals alike and of the same class. I
hope it will be your pleasure to
look after them and whether they be
sous of wealthy gentlemen or of un
known origin teach them that they
must be employed in some honest
calling. The retailer who sells or
furnishes liquors to persons at the
time under its influence should be
punished, and I only ask you, gen
tlemen, to furnish me at least one case.
The carrying of concealed weapons,
keeping places for gaming and gambling
of every species, except in cotton futures,
is also prohibited by law, aud I give
those laws in special charge, as well as
the section of the Code prohibiting m
deceut and profaue language, turbu
lence, and retailing at any place ot re
ligions worship.
I am glad to see that you have at last
a respectable place to meet in. _ The
improvement of your Court Room shows
a commendable public spirit in your
county officers, which reflects great credit
upon them. I will endeavor from this
time forward to keep the Court Room
for Court purposes only, and not allow
any political or other meetings to be
held in it.
You will please appoint your commit
tee and adjourn your body, until next
Monday morning at ten o’clock.
Deatli of Col. Gardner.
Judge Wm. R. McLaws rose in bis
place and said that within the last few
days one of the most distinguished mem
bers of this Bar, the Hon. James Gard
ner, had departed this lite. It was well
known that he was once Solicitor Gene
ral of the Middle Circuit. But it was as
a political writer that Col. Gardner was
most distinguished. As editor of the i
Constitutionalist, his influence was wide
spread, and his name a tower of strength.
At one time he was prominently put for
ward for Gubernatorial honors, aud at
another he was spoken of as representa
tive of the United States at the Court of 1
Versailles. Col. Gardner was noted for
his courtliness and suavity of maimer.
But this was not the time to speak at
length of the deceased, and he therefore
moved that the Court adjourn iu respect
to his memory.
Wm. A. Walton, Esq., seconded the
motion, and Court adjourned until next
Monday morning at 9 o’clock.
Meeting of the Bar.
Alter the adjournment of the Court a
meeting of the bar was held in the Court
Room. On motion of Judge James S.
Hook, Judge Gibson was called to the
Chair and F. T. Lockhart, Esq., re
quested to act as Secretary.
Judge Hook moved that the Chair
man appoint a committee of flve to draw
np resolutions of respect to Col. Gard
ner and report them at the meeting of
the Court next Monday morning.—
Unanimously adopted.
The Chairman appointed James S.
Hook. Wm. A. Walton. James S. Lamar,
and Wm. Hope Hull, Esqs., as the com
mittee.
A Large Atpetite.—A woman suffer
ing from bulimia has lately died in Paris
at the age of 43. She ate evei*y day on
an average of about six pounds and a half
of bread and half a pound of meat.
Bread formed her principal sustenance,
of which she required about nine pounds
to completely satisfy her appetite. The
unfortunate creature earned abont 2s. a
day as a needle woman, which, with a
little income she possessed, was nearly
all absorbed in providing food for her
insatiable appetite.— London Medical
Record.
The Homeopathic Society of Boston
has received with favor a paper in which
the use of chloroform is admitted to be
■of the utmost- importance in surgical
operations, but it is to be given with
great caution. It is said to be danger
ous in dental operations, for the reason
that the shock caused by syncope sends
blood from the brains and lungs into
the heart when in a relaxed state.
Where there is no disease of the heart or
brain, or kidueys, chloroform is to be
preferred to any other anesthetic.
THE INDUSTRIAL CAPABILITIES
OF AUGUSTA, GEORGIA.
(From the South ]
The canal enlargement which is al
ready a great stimulus to manufacturing
interests here has attracted the presence
of many strangers during the Summer
and Autumn, and has called general at
tention to Augusta where business,
which had been dull for several years, is
reviving generally. But to the future,
Augusta looks, for legitimate recogni
tion . It is scarcely possible that a point
so advantageously situated can fail to
develop a large trade and vast manu
facturing interest. A calm review of
the facts will convince the most skepti
cal that heavy capitalists can scarcely
make a poor investment of money
lodged ia the enterprises of this sec
tion. Angsta is in the very heart of the
cotton growing region, with the Savan
nah river as an outlet to the sea, and
direct communications by rail with Sa
vannah, Port Royal and Charleston. No
Winter, no consumption of coal needed,
cheap labor, and an inexhanstable water
supply are among the feature that
demand the consideration of man
ufacturers. Although even now the
second cotton market in the country
there is bnt one cotton factory in Au
gusta ; and it has paid twenty per cent,
for the last eight years, besides rolling
np a large surplus, a quarter of a mil
lion of which has been used to
connect the two buildings, and to in
crease the spindles from 16,000 to 24,-
000. Some English capitalists, com
prising the Augusta Land Company,
have purchased over a square mile of
land near the city, and are selling lots
in small installments to actnal settlers,
which appears to be a good speculation.
The Petersburg boats bring each forty
to sixty bales of cotton down the river
and through the canal every day to Au
gusta, and when Port Royal becomes
the great shipping point for cotton Au
gusta will be likely to vie with New
York iu the number and character of it
wholesale stores. This is only a matter
of time, and the unprejudiced observer
may reasonably ask “why do business
men waste time, money and energy
upon unfruitful localities, when, by a
little courage aud foresight, they could
reap a rich harvest for themselves and
every one else in luxurious realms of the
South ?”
[From the New York Tribune.]
THE TENNESSEE CASE.
The Attorney-General replies, in be
half of the President, to the request of
Gov. Brown, of Tennessee, that the
United States should take no further
action in respect to the Gibson county
outrages for the reason that the State
authorities have already done all that
the case required. Mr. Williams shows
that the State and the Federal Govern
ment may both have jurisdiction over
the same crime—which nobody ever de
nied—and argues that therefore the
President is bound to arrogate all the
jurisdiction to himself, a conclusion
whose force we fail to appreciate. “It
is as much the duty of the President,”
he says, “to enforce the so-cailed En
forcement Acts as any other acts of
Congress.” Bnt the professed aud only
legitimate purpose of the Enforcement
Acts was to vindicate certain rights
which State laws might abridge or neg
lect; and it may be said, in a general
way, that they are only to be appealed
to where the local statutes fail. They
are intended to supplement State
legislation, whereas Mr. Williams as
sumes that they supercede it. Justice
Bradley in his opinion in the Grant parish
case quotes the same passage from Jus
tice Grier which Mr. Williams cites, but
he also says: “This power [to enforce the
Xlllth Amendment] does not authorize
Congress to pass laws for the punish
ment of ordinary crimes and offenses
against persons of the colored race or
any other race. That belongs to the
State government alone. All ordinary
murders, robberies, assaults, thefts, and
offenses whatsoever are cognizable only
in the State Courts, unless indeed the
State should deny to the class of per
sons referred to the equal protection of
the laws. Then of course Congress
could provide remedies fortheir security
and protection. But in ordinary cases,
where the laws of the State are not ob
noxious to the provisions of the amend
ment, the duty of Congress in the crea
tion and punishment of offenses is
limited to those offenses which aim at
the deprivation of the colored citizen’s
enjoyment and exercise of his rights of
citizenship and of equal protec
tion of the laws, because of his
race, color, or previous condition
of servitude.” Tho indictment of the
Graut Parish murderers attempted to
meet this point by a count alleging “a
conspiracy to deprive certain citizens of
African descent of their lives and liber
ties without due process of law.” But,
says Justice Bradley : “Every murderer
and robber does this. Congress surely
is not vested with power to legislate for
the suppression and punishment of all
murders, robberies, and assaults com
mitted within the States.” Here is pre
cisely the same sophistical pretext upon
which the Gibson comity arrests are
based swept away. Certain negroes,
in jail for murder, were taken out and
lynched, just as, we are sorry to say,
hundreds of prisoners, black and white,
have been before in various parts of the
United States. The Governor offered a
reward for tho apprehension of the as
sassins, aud his officers seem to have
pursued them with zeal and fidelity; but
in stepped the Marshal witli a company
of soldiers aud took tho case out of the
Govenor’s hands.
The enforcement acts can be made to
oover almost any transaction to which a
negro or a politician is a party. In Ala
bama we have seen the United States
Courts enacting the shameful farce of
indicting certain persons for conspiracy
! to prevent Mr. Billings from voting by
killing him three months before the
election, In nearly all the reconstruct
ed States it is a common thing to bring
the merest street rows and drunken
quarrels within the provisions of these
enforcement laws, aud the tendency to
ignore the jurisdiction of the State
grows constantly stronger and stronger.
1 The danger of "this reckless course is
manifold. It imposes an unjust and
sometimes crushing burden upon the
accused, who are taken great # distances
ior trial and compelled to transport wit
nesses at their o vn expense ; it throws
a vast and illegitimate power into the
hands of petty Federal officials, and it
imperils the cause of justice, for it is
extremely doubtful whether eonvictious
obtained by s. forced construction of
questionable laws will the test of
appeal.
GOING TO SEE THE “TRANSIT OF
VENUS.”
The last "English expedition for ob
serving the transit of Venus is on the
point of leaving our shores. These ex
peditions cost public money, and the
reader may as well know what he is paying
for. One of the primary problems in
astronomy to find the distance of the
sun. On our know’edge of that distance
depends every other element, both of
distance and magnitude, ia the solar
system. The simple statements, with
which every reader is familiar, of the j
sizes of the pln ts and their distances j
from the sun are all calculated upon the j
supposition of the sun’s distance from j
the earth. The method by which the j
transit of Venus is used to determine!
the distance of the sun is not essentml- j
ly dissimilar from that which which is
familiar in the operations of surveying. .
To observers a mile apart from PSOh I
other the size of a distant object ap-j
pears different, aud the difference fif- j
fords the moans of calculating its rela
tive distance from them. Now Venus,
when passing between fcti£ sun and the
earth, describes an apparent path across ;
the sun’s disc. This path appeaiy;
longer or shorter according to the posi-;
tion of the observer on the earth’s sur- j
face, and if observations are taken by
persons-posted at Northern fii?d South- j
eru stations or at Eastern and Western J
stations respectively, the difference in
the length or time of transit affords mate
rials for calculating the relative distance
of the sun as compared with the earth s
diameter. The observations already
made vaiy only by decimals of a second
in the critical angle, aud yet the results
dependent on them as respects the sun s
distance vary by as much as four mil
lions of miles. From 1769 till about
1862 the sun’s mean distance was con
sidered to be ninety-live and a half mil
lion miles, and as late as 1856 the As
tronomer Royal said there was no proba
bility of an trror of half a million miles :
in this distance. But a variety of inves
tigations, partly astronomical and partly;
connected with the velocity of light, j
threw doubt upon the old calculation,
and it is now thought that ninety-one
million miies and a half is nearer the
true mean distance. For the confirma
tion of these independent researches we
are now about to appeal to the minutest
observations by astronomers of the mo- i
meats of contact of a little black spot
i with the sun's dise. It is only at aver
j age intervals of twine in 122 years that
Venus crosses the sun in the manner de
scribed; and these two occasions are
nearly eight years apart. The last pair
of transits occurred in 1761 and 1769.
Upon the observations then made all
subsequent calculations have been
founded, and it is not until this year
that we have had an opportunity of test
ing their correctness. If the present op?
portunity be missed, no other will occur
until J tine in the two years 2004 and
2012. Every nation which pretends to
contribute to civilized progress is fitting
out one or more expeditions of observa
tion. Besides ourselves, the French, Ger
mans, Americans, Russians, Dutch and
Italians are to have a share in the work. It
is, of coarse, only at particular portions
of the earth’s surface that observations
can be made with advantage, and these
are scattered from Siberia to tbe Ant
arctic regions, acd from Egypt to the
Sandwich Islands. The Germans are
said to be sending five expeditions ; the
Russians, whose extended territory offers
peculiar facilities, will have, it is re
ported, as many as twenty-six stations;
the French'Government Las selected six
stations, the Italians three and the Dutch
one. The expeditions from the United
States are, of course, on an extensive
scale. Eight stations are named as hav
ing been selected by them, and their
observations will be very varied in char
acter. We could hardly be left behind
in sneh a competition. Sir George Airy
has devised a model representing the
appearances to be expected; so that
astronomers may rehearse before hand
the observations to be made at the
critical moment. One of our expedi
tions has gone to the Sandwich Islands,
and another to Kerguelen’s Island in
the Antarctic regions, where, in our De
cember, it will, of course, be the South
ern Summer. Both these expeditions
will be divided into two parties. Another
set of observers goes to Christchurch,
New Zealand. The last expedition goes
to Egypt, where observers will be sta
tioned at Cairo, Suez and Thebes. These
expeditions are at the cost of the Eng
lish Government; and in addition the
Indian Government will provide the ex
pense of a station at Peshawur, in the
Punjab, for photographic observations.
Lord Crawford, better known as Lord
Lindsay, has, at his own expense, fully
equipped and prepared an expedition to
take part in all the different methods of
observation. It will proceed to the
Mauritius. It will be at least, it is said,
a year from the present time before the
results can be made known.— London

NOW A DAYS AND LONG AGO.
Interesting Facts Revealing the Con
tinuity of the Human Race.
[sl. D. Conway’s London Latter to the Cin
cinnati Commercial.]
The chief interest, perhaps, of this
International Oriental Cougress to its
lay attendants has been the continual
starting up of facts which reveal the
continuity of the human race. We are
constantly brought to examine old tales,
coins, proverbs, words belonging to the
distant Eastern lands, only to be im
pressed with a sense of a familiarity un
derlying their strangeness. It is as if
all the intermediatl parts of a bridge
had been swept away by a flood, but
whose remaining fragment on the
hither shore resembles iu character the
lingering buttress on the farther one
that we feel sure they originally be
longed to one structure built by one
race. For example, one morning there
were three members of the Congress ab
sorbed in examining a small tray of old
coins in the British Museum. These
three were strangers to each other; they
were of widely discrepant creeds—one
a Jewish Rabbi, another a Roman Catho
lic, the third a radical and heretic. So
wide apart as they were in belief
are the nations of the earth; yet
ere the three had separated they
had together spelled out on the
coins the infallible vestiges of the
primeval unity of mankind. Among
these vestiges none were more notable
than those on the columned coins, of
which your American dollar mark, with
its fillet bound “pillars of Hercules,”
is tbe survival. The most ancient legend
of the pillars of Hercules states that, on
setting out upon his wonderful voyage
m a small jar, he was bitten by a ser
pent; an oracle told him that if he sailed
westward he would arrive at a certain
point and find a particular tree, which
tree would heal the wounds made by the
serpent. So it ‘happened, and as a
memorial of the incident and the cure,
Hercules set up at the point where it
occurred —anciently Gades, now Cadiz
the two pillars. Some have suggested
that the S which twines around the pil
lars tn the Spauish-American dollar
mark is meant for a serpent; but this is
only speculation. The oldest European
columned coin shown at the British Mu
seum—only about the time of Charles I—
shows a separate twining S around each
pillar, bhapped like a fillet, and a crown
over each column. We have only
changed it by removing the two crowns,
and maki g one fillet answer for both
columns. But when we look to the
earliest Phoenician coins we find some
of them having only one column, and it
lias been suggested that the double
column might have only indicated that
the coin was double in value the single
column coin. Bat this theory disap
pears when we look to the still earlier
coins, where we find the device to be two
pi 1 ars, supporting an arch, plainly de
noting the doorway of a temple. As
there are really no pillars of Hercules,
there can be little doubt that by them
was meant only the door posts of his
ancient temple; and these, represented
on an ancient coinage, have survived in
the columned coins of Italy and Spain,
aud been carried from the latter coun
try to be the primitive aud the present
sign of the farthest West.
Other ancient coins equally revealed
the origiu of those familiar to us. One
belonging to the first Jewish revolt
struck off as the coppers of the Ameri
can insurrection against England might
have been—was the modification of a yet.
earlier coin, and though itself over eigh
teen hundred years old, had on one cop
per surface a wreath of leaves bound at
the bottom with a fillet, and on the oth
er a head that may have been that of the
newest Republican President. A most
curious instance of persistence was re
vealed by comparison of a fine collection
of ancient Hindoo, German and English
coins. They were ail radically the same,
but the Hindoo devices were blundering
ly imitated on the old German coins,
aud these again blunderingly imitated
by the English. Taking the old English
coins alone one can hardly make head or
tail of them ; putting beside them
the old German some meaning is shed
on them; but when the Hindoo coins are
brought forward tlio significance of each
figure is revealed, and the inartistic con
ventional picture on the Western money
turns out to have gradually deteriorated
from the neat artistic horse, obariot, or
tree which graced the money used by
our ancestors on the banks of the Gauges,
far away iu the dawn of the commercial
life of mankind.
The continuity of our race which lias
been so often illustrated by the dis
covery of the identity of our fairy tales
with the legends and miracles told about
great Oriental deities, is thus round to
be confirmed wherever anything Eastern
is investigated. We are using the same
o.,:;;s. words and ceremonies. Of course
all tii’is iiq-S U momentous bearing upon
tfie authority claimed f° r some of the
solemn institutions aroirud gs. We had
an illustration of this a day or two ago.
The learned Professor of
Breslau, read a paper ou the aucieut
Hindoo idea of expiration. Having
gathered out of the aucient Indian books
what
many ages before iP (Christian era, and
the penances by ?yhich they werp atoned
for or expiated, he showed by quota
tions from established Catholic authori
ties that the church named still the
cardinal sins aud provided similar pen
ances aud mpflifS for restoring the guilty
to divine powe*. Tfiei'p ”?nld be no
question about the facts; the ,citations
were made from Indian sacred oi
unquestionable antiquity and compared
witu ef tracts from ecclesiastical books
of unquestionable authority iu the Ca
tholic Church.
CREMATION IN NEVADA.
Ed Chapin, Superintendent of the
Petaluma Mill, Gold Hill, .and Rube
Hobart, of the hardware firm of Boake,
Hobart & Cos., of Virginia City, Ne
vada, say that they are now prepared to
reduce fo ashes—at short notice and
reasonable rates —any cadaver that may
bo furnished them. They have pur
chased the gasometer formerly iu use at
the Petaluma Mill for the manufacture
of elflorine gas, and will now use it as a
cremation furnace. It is made of heavy
boiler-iron, and is simply a dram within
a dram. The body to be operated upon
will be placed in the inner dram, when
the space between the two will be filled
with charcoal and other fuel, and a
strong blast introduced. The gasometer
originally cost SBOO, but Hobart & Cha
pin, the cremation firm, managed to get
it for 8350. In turning out the work,
the bargain at which they obtained
their apparatus will be borne in mind,
and the customer will have his full share
of the benefit of the same.
Tiiey desire to say that with them cre
mation is no experiment. Last week
they purchased two old and decrepid
Piutes, a mala and a female, at six bits
each—§l 50 for the pair-agreeing to
return the ashes—shot them, hauled
them into town, cremated them sepa
rately, and in three hours from the time
of making the purchase returned the
ashes of the old couple to their sorrow
ing relatives in two yeast powder boxes.
The weeping children, grandchildren and
great grand-children of the old folks
mixed their mortal remains with a little
pitch and now affectionately wear them
i about their cheek-bones, their foreheads
and the ends of their noses.
We may here state that the firms will
do more work after this, as no farther
experiment is necessary. Had they de
sired to continue the work among the
Pintes thev might have been at it yet,
as when the price for the old couple
was noised about among the tribe a
great number of the aged and decrepit
were brought in and offered at what was
supposed to be the established rate.
One lusty buck came all the way from
Walker Lake, driving before him four
mothers-in-law, He was much disgust
ed when he found there was no sale for
them. Before leaving he offered them
for two bits each, and agreed to shoot
them in the bargain. Finally, after
peeping about and examining the fur
nace for some time, the old fellow of
fered to shoot the oldest and donate
her, just for the fun of seeing the ma
chine work. This was an offer the firm
conld not accept.
The apparatus has been placed on
wheels, aud in ease it is a man's dying
request his remains will be cremated in
private—in his own wood pile, if it
should be desired on the score of econo
my. The charge for cremating an ordi
nary cavader will be bnt Sls. For
mothers-in-law—and here is where the
profits comes in—they charge $25, a
price that any average son-in-law will
cheerfully pay. They are enabled to
offer reduced rates in tbe case of cada
vers of such meu as have worked long iu
mills and reduction works, as connected
with their furnace is a restoring appa
ratus, and from such subjects they
will be able to obtain from fonr to nine
pounds of quicksilver. And as this
quicksilver always contains more or less
of the precious metals, they will fre
quency be able not only to make no
charge for the cremating and retorting
but may even be able to declare snug
little dividends, to be distributed among
the relatives.
Just what they may be able to do in
cases of this kind they are unable to say
at present. The mill owners may step
in and claim the quicksilver and bullion
product, therefore the firm do not, as
yet, feel safe in making any positive ar
r mgements. As soon as possible, how
ever, they will try to obtain a test case,
and have the lights of property decided
by a proper court. In case there shall
be no trouble with mill owners, they are
confident that from this class of subjects
they will frequently be able -to make
handsome returns. In their pamphlet,
now in press, they instance the case
(page 123) of the horses used in treading
the pulp of the patios at the old Gould
& Curry mill, some years since, all of
whom died of salivation. They show
that in almost every instance the Mexi
can owners of these horses obtained
from their stomachs, after death, amal
gam exceeding in value the price of the
animals when living. We might say
much more in regard to the advantages
of cremation and the inducements which
the new firm are prepared to offer, but
as their pamphlet will be out in a few
days, when all may read for themselves,
we refrain.
MISREPRESENTATION OF THE
PEOPLE OF AIKEN.
Aiken, S. C., October 19, 1874.
Editors Chronicle and Sentinel :
1 know of no better medium than
your valuable paper to correct the mis
representation to which we in Aiken are
about to be subjected by the Aiken
Journal, published in our town. For
more than a year past this journal has
been dying a lingering death, and nf>
one living here during that period has
been unaware that a radical change was
soon about to take place in its manage
ment. The change has taken place at
last, and it has been radical indeed.
The man who now wields the editorial
truncheon is no other than John Mcßay,
the Radical Intendant of our town. No
one opposed to South Carolina Republi
canism could be elected to this office
here iu the face of the negro vote which,
whenever the direct political issue is
made, is a unit against us, the respect
able white people of the town. Meßay
has been three times, elected as au
avowed Republican, and now, by some
agency, which is carefully concealed, he
assumes control of a paper which only
the other day was whining, growding
and snarling about 'a fancied or alleged
attempt to start a third paper here
charging us with deserting the Journal
—the organ of the Conservative party in
this county—accusing us of treachery,
base ingratitude and all that to itself,
the doughty, self-constituted champion
of our rights. Now, Messrs. Editors,
the Aiken Journal never did represent
the respectable people of this town. Of
course it does not do so now, and we
protest, once for all, against being re
sponsible for its politics or anything else
connected with it. We have no organ
here, for the Aiken Tribune is an avow
ed Republican paper and so accepted by
its party. Tho open, consistent, manly
determination with which its editor has
supported has his bad cause, forms
a galling, mortifying contrast to
the imbecility and scurrility which has
uniformly characterized the sheet which
has hitherto been vaunting itself as our
political defender. It is now, of course,
in every sense a Republican paper,
but without the deceucy, honesty, con
sistency or ability which, truth compels
us to say, has always marked the
columns of its neighbor, the Tribune. Its
• resent editor having neither respect
ability nor character himself, cannot im
part to his paper that which he does not
possess, and since it lacks these necessary
qualifications, we abjure it and protest
against being supposed to recognize
either it or its editor. Aiken.

States Senator from South Carolina,
Steven Smith, his client, and John Lit
tle, colored, arrived in Mobile this p.

ing to injure Detective Hester. They
were arrested during the session of the
Circuit Court of Sumter county, some
200 miles from Mobile. Upon their de

Montgomery, October 21. —Thomas
Hendon, of Lee county, a farmer, has

His offense was discharging the negro

most prominent citizens of Alabama
says martial law prevails in Sumter. In
point of fact, Hester aud Beach, United

Profit os A Coat.— This was proba
bly the same dealer who was recently
called upon by a young man for a coat.
A fit was made in due time, and then
earne the haggling about the price.
First, twenty dollars w as fixed, then the
clothier abated dollar after dollar, fight
ing his way inch by inch, until at length
he had offered the garment for eight
dollars. “Do you think I’m made of
money?” asked" the young man indig
nantly, as fie turned to depart. “Say,
vou come pack ! I sell you dat coat if it
cost me a leg. Vot you gif for him, say
now?” “I’ll give you two dollars.” “Two
dollars ! Vy de "buttons ish more wort
ash dat ! Spklit the difrance—make it
twenty shillings!” “No; I’il give you
two dollars.” “Veil, take him. It was
a pooty coat. You gif me two and a
quarter?”
Producing the two dollars the young
man moved away with his purchase; but
as he reached the door he heard the
dealer exclaim, with uplifted bands :
“Gott help me ! I only make one dollar
on dat coat !” Another of the Chatham
street dealers had what he called army
brogans and cavalry boots. An ex-sol
dier purchased a pair of the latter one
rainy day, but returned to the store
within a few minutes, complaining that
the soles were of pasteboard, and had
already soaked to a pnlp. “Vat yon vas
done mit dem boots ?” asked the dealer.
“Whv. I walked two or three blocks.”
“Valk ? Yon valk in dem boots ? Vy,

[Special Correspondence Chronicle and Sentinel .]
Atlanta, October 20, 1874
The Nomination in the Seventh.
As already announced by telegraph,
Colonel W. H. Dabney was nominated
for Congress, vice Trammell declined, at
Rome yesterday. Gen. Young, it was
understood, had a very strong support
in the Convention, and could probably
have received the nomination, but he
declined to become a candidate, peremp
torily refusing to allow his name to
come before the Convention. His reasons
for refusing to become a candidate are
not generally known, but it is supposed
here by many that he had foresight
€- to perceive that he could not be
elected, and declined to become the
leader of a forlorn hope. With Colonel
Dabney thecase may be different. He has
scarcely any enemies in the District ex
cept such askelias madeduriugthe pres
ent campaign by giving his support active
ly to Trammell. He i understood to be
the choice of Colonel L. N. Trammell,
the recent nominee, and one of Colonel
Trammell’s friends, and this circumstance
will be his greatest obstacle to success
in the approachiug race. Col. Trammell
says that Dabney’s election is sure.
Some of his friends say, however, that
a too cordial support of Dabney by
Trammell and his friends will really
prejudice his prospects, because if the
personal enemies of Trammell discover
that he is too closely identified with the
recent nomination they will cling to
Felton in order to give Trammell no
pretext for a triumph. Col. W. H. Dab
ney is a gentleman of fifty-one or fifty
two years of age—a sober, thoughtful,
industrious lawyer, who has attained
success and a commanding position in
his profession by study nud application
rather than by a naturally brilliant mind.
His integrity has never been questioned.
He was formerly a resident of this city,
having lived here fifteen or twenty
years; a year or two ago he removed to
Chattooga county, but lias very recently
located in Rome. While it is not gene
rally believed here that he will defeat
Dr. Felton, it is almost universally con
ceded that he will obtain a strong sup
port, and prove a most formidable an
tagonist of the “ Great Disorganize!’,”
so-called. The election occurs t>vo
weeks from two-day, and therefore the
campaign will be short and quick. Many
of the voters living in the more remote
districts will have scarcely heard of his
nomination before that time.
Legislative Officials.
Hon. Rufus E. Lester, Senator re-elect
of Savannah, and Col. T. J. Simmons,
present Senator, of Macou, will prob
ably be the only candidates for Presi
dent of the Senate. Col. Lester has
been President of the Senate pro tern.
for the past four years, and Col. Sim
mons has been Chairman of the Finance
Committee of the same body for two
years past. They aiv both gentlemen
of ability, and will both receive a com
plimentary support. The race for Sec
retary of the Senate will probably be
between Mr. Wellborn, present Sec
retary, and Mr. Wes Murphey, repre
sentative from Harris county in the
present House. A discussion of their
respective merits and prospects of course
would be premature. Friends of Mr.
Harris, however, say he will have a
strong support from the old Senate.
The contest for the Speakership has
probably reduced down to a direct race
between Maj. A. 0. Bacon, of Bibb,
present Speaker, and Mr. W. D. Ander
son, of Cobb, present Speaker pro tain.
It is not believed that Col. Thomas
Hardeman will be a candidate for the
reason that he being a candidate for
Governor will prefer to make no enemies
by such a contest. His policy will be
rather to win more friends by a moder
ate course instead of provoking opposi
tion by a candidacy for a position which
he has already graced in days passed
and gone. The candidates for Clerk of
the House are more numerous, and pro
bably the full number has not yet been
developed. Those mentioned so far are
Mr. L. Carrington, present Clerk, Mr.
J. L. Sweat, present Journalizing Clerk,
Mr. Strother, of Lincoln, and Mr. John
0. Evins, of this city. The strength of
each is not yet fully developed. They are
all at work with a determination to win.
Seventeen Thousand Dollars Suit.
Some time ago Scott, Bondurant &
Cos., contractors on the Air Line Rail
road, presented a bill for contracting to
that road, which the officers declined to
pay. The contractors and the Air Line
Railroad Company agreed to submit the
case to arbitration, and placed the bill
in the hands of an auditor, who, after
investigating the claim, awarded to the
contractors the sum of $17,000 and a
fraction. The Air Line Railroad Com
pany refused to abide the arbitration,
and Scott, Bondurant & Cos. carried the
case to Court to recover the claim. The
case was concluded to-day in the Supe
rior Court of Fulton county, the jury
awarding to the contrac'ors about nine
thousand dollars.
The Paii-
Will fairly open to-morrow morning,
when the military companies will com
mence the great drilling contest, which
is to be opened by Company B, Ogle
thorpe Infantry, of your city, which, by
the by, is one of the most handsome,
well behaved and orderly body of men
it was ever the privilege of your cor
respondent to see. There were to-day
about two thousand strangers in the
city. About two thousand more arrived
to-day, and by morning it is estimated
that there will be six or seven thousand
strangers in the city. Special trains,
overflowing with visitors, have arrived.
Another special train from Montgomery,
Ala,, will reach here Thursday, bringiug
a large number. There are at present
about two hundred persons from Au
gusta here, among them her most sober
citizens, and her Ifiost dashing bloods.
A few of them (without attempting a
classification in the manner suggested)
are Messrs. Geo. A. Oates, P. L. Cohen,
Stewart Phinizy, Matt O’Brien, E. W.
Hack, I. T. Heard, S. B. Wright, J. G.
Marsh, and Mr. Patrick Walsh, one of
the proprietors of the Chboniole.
Minor Topics. ,
Col. W. H. Dabney addressee! the
Democracy at Dalton to-day. It is said
that Gen. Gartrell, Mr. Ben. Hill, and
Dr. H. Y. M. Miller will canvass the
district for him. Dr. W. E. Munsey,
the great Methodist divine, lectures to
night on the “Dost Soul.” “.Faro” was
the game last night. The way strangers
invested, they say, is a caution to the
wives they left at home.
Atlanta is a surging mass of human
beings, and the Kimball House is
literally jammed with visitors.
Halifax.
Ocean lines for Atlantic steamers and
sailing vessels are still attracting atten
tion. Maury’s lines are most in favor at
Washington The other plan proposed
is to lay down tracks for each month, in
the aggregate covering aspace north and
south of over three hundred miles, the
first object being to go and come by tlic
shortest practicable route. Congress at
its next session will be asked to appoint
a commission on the subject.
What a B ston Deacon Thinks of

“Don’t know about that,” said the dea
