MINOR TOPICS.
General Butler engaged a section of artillery
in anticipation of his election, to leave Boston
on Wednesday on a platform oar. It was to
accompany him to Gloucester, to fire a gun at
each stopping station between Boston and
Gloucester, and a hundred guns npon reaching
the latter place. The Poet says his experience
at Fort Fisher induced him finally not to waste
powder.
The Herald, of Friday, announces the mar
riage in New York, on the day previous, of a
Mr. Lie to Miss Steele. They sailed immedi
ately for Norway, where, let us hope, they will
remain. There are too many folks of that
sort already in the Radical party of New York,
and everywhere else in this country. We hope
their union will not be very fruitful —that is if
they intend coming back to America.
It will be remembered that on the 20th of
August last George C. Harding, an editor of an
Indianapolis (Indiana) new.-paper. shot and
wounded one Solomon Moritz, of that city, for
having seduced Harding's daughter, an inter
esting young lady, aged eighteen yean. The
trial of the case was recently called in the
Criminal Court of Indianapolis, and the prose
cuting.witness not appearing, a nolle prosequi
was entered. Moritz has gone West.
The most obstinate mule on record turned
up the other day in Sonoma county, California.
His owner was hauling a lead of lime, when a
warm rain shower set in. The lime, slacked by
the rain, was soon in a high state of combus
tion. and the wagon caught fire. But the ani
mal in question, which formed one of the
team, stubbornly resisted all efforts to detach
him from the burning wagon and wag cremated
on tho spot, while his unfortunate owner stood
by him and misapplied Scripture.
Old Uncle Ned, Gen. Early’s old body ser
vant, came out to the election last Tuesday and
voted the Conservative ticket. One of the
most enjoyable features of the day was the
witnessing of this venerable and faithful old
servant ride into town on horseback, dressed
in a sail of gray, politely bowing to every
white man he chanced to meet, scarcely deign
ing to notice a negro, and, with a look of pride
beaming upon his countenance, deposit bis
Conservative ballot along with those cast by
the friends of his old master.— Virginia Moni

A curious Frenchman has lately been mak
ing a calculation, which is, that a man talks on
an average three hours a day at the rate of
about tweuty-nine octavo pages an hour. This
would make oighty-seven pages a day, about
Bix hundred a week, which would amount to
fifty-two good sized volumes every year! And
then, multiplying this by the number of years
in a man's life, what a library he should have
if it should all be printed ! And, too. how very
little of the whole wculd be worth preserving,
and of how mnch he would bo so glad if it had
been left unsaid.
In Paris the claque which leads the applause
is now supplemented by the claque flcurie. A
oertain number of bouquets are purchased, and
one or two of the front boxes are secured, and
then, at a given signal, “tho actress or the
prima donna is bombarded with flowers ” It is
related that the husband of a well known
dansouse, being a man or precise and business
like habits, was accustomed to keep an accurate
recoid of the bouquets supplied. One
night, after the performance, he was heard
loudly protesting that he had boen robbed. He
had purchased ten bouquets and only eight
had been thrown at his successful partner.
Persons are suing railroads in England, not
only for neglecting to furnish seats and de
manding fare for standing room—a case on
this point is now in' the London Courts—but
for unpunctuality. The Great Western Rail
way Company has just been sued for this
cause. The plaintiff, through the unpunctu
ality of the service, missed his train at Twy
ford Junction, and aooordingly sued the com
pany for the price paid for a conveyance to
take him to bis destination. Judgment has
gone against the company and there will
probably be an appeal.
Gen. John F. Farnsworth, who came within
a very few votes of defeating Congressman
Hurlburtin the Fourth Illinois District at tho
recent election, has addressed a public card to
his supporters, in whiefi he says : “My defeat
in nowise lessens my appreciation of their
friendship, but rather increases it, for I realize
that the immense majority of two years ago
which wo attacked (and reduced more than
9,000) presented a discouraging prospect, as
well as a severe test of their friendship for me
personally, and their attachment to the princi
ples which my candidacy represented."
The Hon. E. B. Washburne has been for
mally nominated for the Presidency by the
Milwaukee Advertiser, as the best choice the
Republicans can make in' 1876. The Chicago
Tribune, which is mpposed to be very favor
able to the suggestion, says: “The Republican
party will elect the next President; that much
is as certain as any future event can bo. Wheth
er the President’s name will be Washburne, or
Gonkling, or Blaine, or Wilson, is a question
for future discussion. An early nomination
will not help a man if he is not secure of the
affections and respect of Republicans through
out the country; and one who has these can
afford to wait for the recognition of his merits
at the proper time."
Among lost artiolos recently found by tho
Paris police and advertisod by them was a
bride. The advertisement said: “There was
found yesterday at midday a bride, eighteen
years, bluo eyes, black hair. Can be obtained
on applioatiou at police headquarters." She
was a country girl who came to Paris with her
betrothibd to get married. They took a cab at
the station. On the way to the church the
man got out to make some purchase. The
drivor was tipsy, and, instead of waiting, drove
on, so they were separated iu the wildernoss,
and the police found the bride weeping in
the cab.
Governor Dix, it is said, released from the
cares and vexatious of official life, is going
down to Florida to spend the Winter. The
Govornor, although a septegenarian, is still a
mighty hunter, like Nimrod. He is death on
wild ducks, snipes, pigeons, curlews, quails,
pheasants, woodcocks, and the other small
game found in the populous regions of the
Empire State; but whon ho comes to doal with
the bears, deer, alligators, sharks, swordfish
and loggerheads of the Land of Flowers, he
may be startled at first. However, lot him
follow his own general order, and “shoot ’em
down on the spot.”
The latest luxury, says a London paper, is
caves. "In order to establish a reputation for
wealth now-a-days, it is necessary to be the
owner of a oave. A mansion is all very well,
but the possession of a cave immediately
stamps the ownor as a person of importance.
The eaves at Brighton are iu tho cliff, and ap
proached only from the shore. Costly, magni
ficent pianos, settees, gas, furniture, books,
and nick-nacks bring their aid to make tho
caves into delightful smoking or drawing
rooms ; and being admitted to this costliness
and glitter straight from the melancholy beach
at night, brings up recollections of many an
Arabian Night's entertainment. And no mean
hospitality is exercised in them. The man
who does possess a Brighton care is as much
sought after as the happy owner of a Thames
villa on Sundays in the season, and it is said
that the reversion of such properties is eagerly
demanded.”
A gentleman staying at the Victoria Hotel,
Bt. Johns, N. 8., thought he would add to the
impressiveness of the late eclipse of the moon,
and make it a most memorable event for s.me
of the moon-gazers beneath his window who
had disturbed his slumbers. He made a cart
ridge of dynamite, which he proposed flinging
from his window, and exploding it among the
aforesaid people, who were amusing them
selves with the unusual astronomical phe
nomenon. The gentleman leaning out and
blandly contemplating the crowd below light
ed a piece of tissue paper and appplied it to
the fuse of his torpedo. It was quicker than
he anticipated, and weut off in his grasp. His
right hand was blown all to pieces to the
wrist joint, his left arm near the elbow was
badly bruised, his right eye and chin were se
verely injured, and he received a frightful
gash in his cheek from a flying piece of bone.
A big hole was blown in the window sill, and
the furniture in the room was badly demor
oralixed by the shock. It was a very fortu
nate thing that torpedo exploded just where it
did, for it would have made sad havoc down
below.
Of this something has been sensibly said in
connection with the American habit of carry
ing a pistol, and it very nearly brought “a gen
tleman from the States” to grief in London
lately. His name ia Hiram Thompson. Hav
ing a pocket on the hip always loaded down
with a six-barrel battery at home,he thought it
would be the correct thing to do among the
cockneys. He went to Covent Garden theatre
carrying the six-barrel battery along for com
pany sake. Some blarsted minion of an effete
despotism might take it into his head to insult
the bird of freedom, and then how handy it
would be to have the battery in the hip pocket
and shoot him on the spot. The demands of
nature overtook Mr. Thompson in Covent Gar
den theatre. He wanted to blow his hose. In
palling out his handkerchief from the pocket
on the hip it got snarled round the hammer
of the battery, and one barrel went off. It
produoed a sensation, and when the people
learned what it was, they smiled and said it
was so very American. When Mr. Thompson
was hauled before the “beak” that functionary
said he was inclined to believe it an accident,
although he had “beard that Americans some
times fire at an adversary through their pock
ets,” and he bound Hiram T. over in recogniz
ance for future good behavior. Now the gen
tleman from America will feel colder than ever
without the six-barrel battery in his pocket on
the hip, and he will no longer have an oppor
tunity of hoisting himself with his own petard.
Beyond this moral, the cockney idea that
Americans blaze away at each other through
their pockets is not bad—that is, not bad for
cockneys.
FATAL KEROS INK ACCIDENT.
A Negro Woman Burned to Death by
Ihe Esplosion-of a Lamp.
Last Wednesday evening, about seven
o’clock, Mr. Timothy Buckley and fam
ily—who reside on Jackson street, near
the old Confederate machine works—
were startled by loud and agonizing
screams proceeding from the kitchen ad
joining the residence. Mr. Backley
jumped np and rushed to the back door,
where he was met by a
Thing of Horror.
A perfect sheet of flame was advancing,
from the midst of which dreadful shrieks
in qnick succession were issuing. Mr.
Backley immediately perceived that the
object enveloped in the angry flames was
his cook, a colored woman named Lizzie
Malone. The poor creature, crazed by
fright and pain, tried frantically to pass
Mr. Backley aad get into the honse.
Knowing that this could do the
woman no good, but was almost certain
to resalt in the destruction of the dwell
ing, Mr. Buckley put out his hands
and pushed her back. She still en
deavored to pass him, and as Mr. Buck
ley’s hands were undergoing the
Ordeal of Fire,
Being already badly burned, she might
finally have succeded had not ODe of
Mr. Buckley’s sons, Mr. William Buck
ley, gone to his father’s help. Putting
his arms aronnd the poor woman, whose
dress was one writhing mass of flame—
and over whose head the lnrid fire was
shooting npwards to the distance of
three or four feet—he picked her up by
main force and caYriei her into the yard.
Mr. Theo. Buckley, another son, at this
juncture rushed up with a blanket and
threw it over his brother and the wo
man. Mr. William Buckley immediate
ly extricated himself and wrapped the
blanket around the woman, from whose
flesh the skin had already peeled in
Large Flakes.
She was carried immediately to her
house, near South Boundary street. Phy
sicians were sent for and everythingdoue
to alleviate her pain and save her life,
but without avail. She died yesterday
morning about sunrise.
According to the woman’s own state
ment, she was searching in the kitchen,
when the accident occurred, for some
provisions which had been put away.
While looking among a lot of pans and
flat irons on a shelf, the kerosine oil
lamp, whicli she held in one hand, struck
against a flat iron, the glass broke and
the inflammable oil, catching fire, was
thrown over her clothing, and in a mo
ment she was completely enveloped in
flames. Screaming with pain and fright,
she ran in her terror towards the back
door of the dwelling and was met by Mr.
Buckley, as above described. But for
that gentleman’s presence of mind, the
entire building and perhaps some of the
members of the family would have been
consigned. As it was, his hands and
those of his son, Mr. William Buckley,
were
Severely Burned.
The hands of both were still bandaged
yesterday, and Mr. Timothy Buckley,
especially, seemed to be suffering con
siderably. One side of his face was also
slightly burned.
The woman, who died from the acci
dent, was about twenty-five years old,
and had no children.
AUGUSTA JOCKEY CLUB.
Temporary Organization Effected.
Pursuant to notice, a meeting of the
old members of the Augusta Jockey and
others interested in the turf, was held
yesterday, at 12 o’clock, at the Augusta
Club Room.
On motion of Col. Lewis Jones, the
meeting was organized by calling Mr.
Robert H. May to the Chair.
Mr. Jesse M. Turpin was requested to
act as Secretary.
Col. Jones said the object of the meet
ing was to reorganize the Augusta Jockey
Club by electing officers and establish
ing a basis of operations.
Gen. M. C. Butler thought it would
be advisable before doing anything else
to obtain a list of the old members.
Col. Jones said that an effort had been
made to obtain the list but without suc
cess.
Mr. J. H. Dugas thought it would be
best to abandon the old club and or
ganize de novo.
The Chairman was of the opinion that
it would be best to keep up the old or
ganization, so as to have the benefit of
its charter.
Mr. Jas. A. Gray moved that there be
a Jockey Club in Augusta, whether it be
a continuation of the old organization
or one entirely new, and that the Chair
man appoint a committee to perfect a
basis for the club.
The Chairman said there should be a
Jockey Club in Augusta. There was
certainly plenty of material here for
such an organization.
Gen. Butler moved as an amendment
to Mr. Gray’s motion that they corres
pond with all the members of the old
club, in order to ascertain whether they
desire to keep up their connection with
the organization, and that another meet
ing be held at an early day.
Mr. Gray accepted the amendment.
Col. Jones thought Thursday next
would be the best time for the meeting.
Mr. Gray’s motion was adopted, and
the Chairman appointed as the commit
tee Messrs. T. W. Carwile, J. J. Dough
ty and Lewis Jones.
Mr. Gray moved that the annual fee
for each member be not more than
twenty-five dollars, and the member and
his family have free access to the
grounds at all times.
General Butler thought this motion
premature.
Mr. Gray said the meeting had al
ready decided to have a Jockey Club
and he thought now was the time to es
tablish the fee.
Mr. Gray’s motion was put and
unanimously adopted.
Col. Jones moved that tho gentlemen
present desiring to join the club now
come forward and put down their names.
Adopted.
Col. Jones said that ho thought some
expression should be given as to the
time of holding their first race meeting.
He proposed to have it on the 22d, 23d
and 24th of December.
Mr. Gray thought Christmas week
was a bad time.
Col. Jones said that the week after
Christmas would suit Col. Bacon aud
himself as well as the dates pro
posed. He would confer with Colonel
Bacon about the matter and they would
advertise the races in due time.
Gen. Butier asked what would be the
size of the purses.
Colonel Jones said that would de
pend altogether upon the size of the
club.
Mr. Gray moved that Mr. Robert H.
May be appointed temporary treasurer
and Col. Lewis Jones temporary secre
tary, with instructions to keep an ac
count of all proceedings until a perma
nent organization is perfected. Adopted.
It was announced that twenty-seven
gentlemen, had placed their names on
the roll of membership.
The meeting then adjourned until
next Thursday, at 12 o’clock.

A Carntverotts Plant.— A remarkable
plant was exhibited to the British Asso
ciation for the advancement of science,
by Dr. Hooker, who gave the inaugural
address as President of the biology sec
tion. The address was upon the sub
ject of carnivorous plants, and Dr.
Hooker explained and demonstrated by
experiment some extraordinary discov
eries of Mr. Darwin’s. Among other
tilings, says a Liverpool paper, he show
ed a plant called “Dionial,” the' leaves
of which were open. A fly was captured
and put upon a leaf, which instantly
closed, ana on reopening it was found
that the fly was completely dissolved.
A bit of beef was afterward consumed in
the same way. The leaf was then fed
with cheese, which disagreed with it
horribly, and eventually killed it. Dr.
Hooker explained that the plant’s action
was precisely similar to that of the hu
man stomach. The leaf rejected a piece
of wet chalk. Professor Huxley, in
moving a vote of thanks, said these
phenomena formed a wonderful problem.
The plant had certainly a nervous sys
tem of its own.

A TRIUMPH OF CHEMISTRY.
AMONG THE NUMEROUS HEALTH-GlV
ing discoveries of pharmaceutical chemistry,
cone has achieved a more transcendent and
lasting success than Hostetter’s Stomach Bit
ters. Of course there is a reason for this. It
would have been imposssble to palm off. for
nearly a quarter of a century, upon so shrewd
a people as the Americans, a meritless article,
or have established by mere advertising such a
reputation as the Bitters enjoy, if they did not
possess a substantial title to public confidence.
The truth of this statement is proved by the
fact that bogus nostrums, no matter how ex
tensively puffed, usually enjoy but a transient
existence, are then diacovered to be worth
less, and discarded. Hostetter’s Bitters, on
the contrary, after a career of twenty years,
were never so popular as they are to-day. Soon
after their appearance it became manifest thst
they possessed in a remarkable degree the
power of toning and regulating the human sys
tem, and to-day they rank as the standard re
storative of the age. novl9-thaatu&w

Weekly Review ef Augusta Market.
Auousta, Ga.. Fridai Afternoon, i
November 20,1874. )
The Course and Situation of Trade.
The volume of business during the week
ending to-day has been fully as large as any
corresponding period of the frail of 1874. The
trade has labored under the gTeat disadvantage
of short supplies of meats and grain. It has
been impossible to obtain any bacon in the
West except in small lots, and falling back
npon dry salts even these had been hard to get
at prices promising a margin. Taking the date
when Western paezers commenced killing-hogs
as data, we presume that the coming week will
witness the reception of ample supplies to sat
isfy the demand. Western newspapers report
slaughtering going on with energy, and the
price of hogs each as not to promise an early
redaction in that of meats in our market. As
will be seen by the quotations bolow. short
middles are selling at 14j to 15. The amount
in the city barely roles out the word nominal.
The break in the Angnsta Canal, which stop
ped all our mills,has stiffened the flour market,
thongh we hardly think it is quotable any
higher. It is expected that they will resume
operations early next week. They had enough
stock on hand when the accident occurred to
run their trade as usual.
The demand for plantation supplies is up to
the full measure of any period remembered in
the history of the city. The excellent condi
tion of the planter, being comparatively free
from debt, almost totally so npon this year's
planting operations, leaves him with plenty of
money to stock his store rooms with such pro
visions as he does not pro luce at home. The
lesson of adversity has not been lost, and may
we not hope that our country will never ex
perience the hard times again it has for the
last four or five years.
The general grocery market was never more
active. There is an active demand for the bet
ter grades of family supplies, whilst Tennessee
poultry, butter. eggß and the like find a ready
market for all that is received in Augusta.
It is gratifying to note the prosperous condi
tion. the activity of trade, of the city and coun
try generally. We have no reason to feel the
stagnation and dullness so widely published in
Northern newspapers. The enormous sums of
money which has been paid out here this Fall
for cotton has certainly made this people easy.
The Dry Goods Situation.
The demand for heavy grades for Winter
clothing is very active. Woolens and flannels
lead the list. Almost the entire New York Dry
Goods market is wanting in stamina, but we
have no alterations to make in anything here.
Collections are reported better than in many
years past. The stocks in the city are very
heavy, bnt not at all beyond what the excellent
business onr merchants are doing folly justi
fies.
Stocks, Bonds and Money.
The demand for Stocks and Bonds is improv
ing. with the bulk of transactions during the
week mostly confined to Georgia B’s, Georgia
Bailroad and City of Augusta and City of Sa
vannah Bonds. Gold has advanced from 109

Receipts and Sales of Cotton for the
Week.
There were 10,027 bales of cotton sold here
daring the week. It brought in round num
bers $651,755. which enormous amount of
money was paid out to the producer direct, aud
by him to his laborers, merchants and credi
tors, or held for future uses. It is now the
last half of November. We have not had ex
ceeding five rainß in one hundred days, two of
which occurred during the week under review.
The remarkably flue Fall has presented the
finest opportunity ever known for gathering
the crop in a pure condition. And hence that
and the improved gins has enabled the planter
to rank nearly all his samples as Middling As
before 'stated in this column, this will have a
material and a direct bearing upon the gross
amount of money which will bo received for
the cotton crop of 1874.
Reports from the plantations represent that
the crop has nearly all been picket out. But
it is impossible to even conjecture how much
remains to come forward, for estimates of cot
ton crops are at best only respectable guesses,
even up to within a few morths of the cloße of
a season.

THE AUGUSTA MARKETS.
Augusta, November 21, 1874.
Trade To-Day.
Business to-day in wholesale houses was
nothing extraordinary as compared with other
days of the week. But in the retail depart
ments of the city, both in provisions and dry
goods, there was more activity.
We have no changes to make and little to
add to the extended quotations given this
morning. The sales of cotton amounted to
I, bales, aggregating 881,510.
The weather was grandly beautiful, the Bun
was shining with all its brilliancy, whilst a soft
southern breeze swept up from the ocean,feel
ing as if it was fresh from the Carribean sea.
So exhilirating was it that a large per cent, of
the population turned into the street, which
made the city appear more active than it really
was commercially.
The Cotton Market.
The market advanced an } to-day, and closed
quiet to-night at the following figures:
Good Ordinary 13}
Low Middling 13f@13}
Middling 13J@14
Keceipts, 1.288; sales, 1,264. Receipts at
all ports, 20,007; this day last year, 15,610.
The Cotton Outlook.
It appears by official figures that the number
of bales received at all American ports since
September 1, have been 1.109,234. For the
same period last year, 872,382. Excess of re
ceipts this over last year, 236,852 bales. But
this excess by no means means that the crops
have been relatively as great. Any one who
knows the uninterrupted fine weather which
lias prevailed throughout the whole Fall will
readily arrive at the true reason of the crop
going forward to market more rapidly this than
last year.
The planters all around us say that they have
not near as much left at home as they had a
year ago. The burning of 28 gin houses by in
cendiaries in the cotton belt of Georgia in the
past eight weeks, involving the loss of nearly
all their contents, has had not a little to do
with sending it forward to fire proof ware
houses.
The Meat Market.
