TOromcif anD jSrmintl. WEDNESDAY MARCH 31, 1875. stINOKJ^FICB. Deacon Ladue, of Wisconsin, went to the barn the otb£ day and hong himaelf with a log chain because hie wife playfully kicked hie hat oflT anand clothes-pin I am m * "Goawav! toave me with my dead! Let me fling mtfftblf on hie coffin and die there!” That was in Nebraska six months ago. and now the widow has won another trusting sonl, and nnmber one's portrait is in the attic face to the wall. It is simply absurd to talk about a woman being qualified to fill every position in life that a man fills. For instance, what woman could lounge around the stove in a country grocery and lie about the number of fishes she caught last Bummer. Machines) has reached a great state of per faction. An exchange remarks : “We recent ly saw some burnt peas put into the hopper of a coffee-mill, and in less than two minutes they were occupying a place in a grocery wiu dow. labelled ‘Fine Old Mocha.’ ’’ An inebriate stranger precipitated himself down stairs, and on striking the landing re proachfully apostrophized himself with: "If you'd been a w antique come down stairs, why j in thunder didn't you say so, you wooden headed old fool, an' I’d a come with you. an’ showed you the way | I’antomime. it would seem, has become quite the rage in London society. For instance, when Minister Bchenck rises from the dinner table and, shouldering the poker, marches from the dining room, the whole company im mediately follow him, each beseeching the gods to visit him with a benefaction of noth ing less than four aces. The Boston Herald says of Mr. Gooch that j "he has made no money during his long ser vice in Congress, though he lias had ample op portunities had he been so disposed." Mr. Gooch ought to be ashamed of himself. How can he expect to obtain the confidence of the Hadical party if he stays in Congress year after year without stealing anything ? A fanny joke and all the more palatable as its truth can be vouched for. says a New Jer sey paper, occurred at a prominent church in that ritato. It seems that a worthy deacon had been very industrious in selliu* a%c\7%Eiuiei"i book costing 7ac. At the service in question the minister, just before dismissing the con gregation, rose and said : " All ye who have children to baptize will please to present them next Sabbath." The deacon, who by the way was a little deaf, having an eye on selling the %ooks, and supposing the pastor was referring to them, immediately jum|>ed up anil shouted: “ All who haven't can get as many as yon want by calling on me. at 75c. eacli.” The resignation of Oeneral Bchenck at die ' Court of Bt. James is no doubt connected wife the fact that the Kentucky Legislature at its j last session was asked to interfere for the pro- ; tection of the unfortunate and enact a law making it a penal offense for any player at j draw poker to draw two cards when lie should not be in the enjoyment of "threes," or to draw one card to "threes," by which vexations and mean devices much uncertainty and many mischances are brought about. Should this game lie played as niueli as usual this may be come an issue in the next campaign. A seventeen-year-old boy iu l’aris recently induced a companion of eleven years of age to steal nine hundred francs in gold, anil then strangled him, threw him into the Seine, and walked off with the money. He was sen tenced to twenty years in the galleys, "having escaped the death penalty," we are told, "on account of his youth.” That boy wasn’t ven erable for bis years, certainly, but that he was j as good material for as pretty a little hanging j as could have been furnished by any sexagena I riau iu France, nobody should pretend to deny, j Here it the vilest slander of modern times j It is from that diabolically slanderous sheet. Ii the Detroit free free*: "Mr. Bcrgh's wife can i kick the fauily cat over the table when she ! finds the feliie playing with the beefsteak, and ' Mr. ltergh nev.r moves to have her arrested." j ' We know Mr. iUrgh well, and we confidently j believe that if Mrs. Bergh were to kick the j 1 cat over the table for playing with the beef- i steak, although benight not hand Iter over to I the police, he wouhLudignautly end officially exclaim. "Oh. d—n it.my dear, don't!" And j the newspaper >hich save he wouldn’t is a wretch whom if werobase flattery to call a scalawag.

It is possible that these infants were introduced to tiie hideous scene for the same reasun that the young hpartans were shown the drunken Heiets; but it is decidedly probable, from wiiat is currently known of humau nature, that the "little ones” who crowded lip to see the Mary land strangulation regarded the subject of the scaffold m the light of a hero, and if their Sun day school teachers do not intervene, will run a chance of wearing the black cap themselves one day.

With all its un stinted luxury the life in the immediate court set was better and purer than in some of the inferior spheres. Vet the lone encouraged was the reverse of a moral one. Adventurers were iu the ascendant; wealth paid its way t very where, mid society went upon the Bourse.

Editors Chronicle and Sentinel: Permit me, through the medium of your valuable newspaper, to commune, for a brief space, with my fellow-stock holders of the Georgia Railroad and Bonking Company, and who constitute one of the most influential and respecta ble corporations in the State. This company has recently dispensed with the serviees of all its baggage mas ters as not essential to the efficiency of this department of duty. This is a step in the right direction, and for which it is to be commended. But why not continue this retrenchment and dispense with several scores of other supernu merary employees who may be found in the various departments of the compa ny’s business ? There is a constant ten dency in ail large organizations to dead headism, which requires constant vigi lance to keep in check. Our company is no exception to the above remark. We have many unnecessary officers and employees who are in each other’s way in a, proper, systematic and economic management of the road and its vast business. For instance, why have two men to fill the office of President ? Why two to fill the office of Superintendent, and call one General Agent ? Why two master machinists at Augusta, and call one foreman ? Why one, in addition to these two , at Atlanta V One officer who understands his duty would be amply sufficient for each of the above positions. This process of retrenchment could be wisely applied to all the subordinate departments of the road—3ucli as chief of paint shops and chief of car greasers, who now receive large salaries. We should insist on these retrenchments; and there remains still another very im portant matter for consideration and ac tion, and that is, the reduction of the salaries of all the officers and employees jof the road. Pursuing this line ot | policy prudently and with competent and efficient officers, the stockholders may rely upon regular dividends for the ■ future. Some may suppose that, by adopting the policy above indicated, we | would loose some of our best officers ■ and employees, but in reply to this ap prehension it should be remembered that a similar policy has been adopted by other roads without the loss of a single man by voluntary Another source of retrenchment may be idftd by dispensing with one of the two daily passenger trains, as one is amply sufficient for all the travel now nsing | ottr road, and no doubt the Central Kail- i road, upon a conference, would unite in j this policy, and so no longer be an ex-j cuse for ns to run two daily passenger ! trains. Do our officers consider the! enormous expense of running these un profitable trains, to say nothing of the : wear and tear of the track and of the i I rolling stock ? We have the best located I i road in the South, and it must be pre served and not abused by usingitiu run- ’ j ning nearly empty trains; it must be j managed in the interest of the. stoekhold j ers, and not in the interest of if* f ;m- 1 j Pkjj/ees. It i’h the best property we 1 have, nearly all we can be proud of, aud, therefore, it is our duty to guard and protect it well.’ There is one fact, which I desire to impress firmly upon the minds of the ! stockholders, and that is the enormous i expense of conducting the business of the road, which for the past six years lias j increased annually, as is evidenced by j the annual reports. This is due solely i to an extravnyant administration. For ! the year 1H74 the expenditures amount- j td to 70 per cent, of the gross income | a most alarming figure, and strangely ! contrasting with the cost of the Western and Atlantic hailroad for the same year, which was 58 per cent., including the large outlay of $175,000 for construction, which was an unusual amount for a single year, showing a difference of 1" per cent., in favor of the State Road. This is the more remarkable, when we consider thut the State Road lias five times as many bridges as the Georgia Road, and is one of the most difficult, ami expensive railroad- in the Southern States, by reason of ita curvilinear track, its bridges, tunnel, tbe nature of the soil, much of it being in the limestone region, its severe Winters anil destruc tive floods. Still, as I observed, this ! road kept its expenses at 58 per cent., and paid the State its monthly rent of &2->,00() and 10 per cent, on each share of $•10,000 iu bonds issued to its lessees, for tbe year (our road being an endorser for them, the said lessees paid nothing for what they owu aud control for n j period of twenty years). I hesitate not to give it as my jndgm-nt that our road, with like luun.ig, mt-nt, could reduce its expenses to ,V) per cent., and with its present business and competent officers, this difference aloi e would pay a divi dend, and thereby enable the road to ile dare regular aemi-annual dividends of at least five per cent.

Cbckltt to Am mall—" Boys,” says DtQuiucy, “are naturally cruel;” autl Froiule tells us that “ only men and 1 some of the domestic animals that have | bee* educated by men, kill for spurt." j It is notorious that wolves and some . other auimals do kill but rarely, if ever, 1 j except for food or in self-defense. We don’t find them ‘ spending their vaca i tious” iu the manly sports so popular • j among many of our professional men. i The great fishes do eat the little fishes, I , but we never heard of their catching and killing them for mere sport. Is it _ , not possible, then, that DeQuiucy is j mistaken with regard to boys? Is it ! | not the result of education ? But, you 1 say no respectable man teaches his boys |to be cruel to animals. We don’t know 1 ; about that. Of course not by precept. ' : But this is not so much a matter of di rect instruction as of example. We ree i olleot being intensely interested, when a . j mere boy, in the story of Cowper’s , i hares, aud we appreciated even the lines that have saved so many lives : "I would not enter on niv list of friends. [ Though graced with polished manners and fine sense. Lite man who needlessly sets foot upou a i worm.” How many times since have those lines come back and turned our foot aside, that, even a “reptile” might live : as long as he was not au intruder ou i seeues “sacred to neatness and repose.” Let, then, the children be made fa miliar with all those anecdotes that pre ; sent dumb animals in a semi-human i light, itud you maybe sure that the seed thus sown will bear its appropriate ! fruit. 1 A Capital Puts.—Rlobbs had been : | drinking a little, probably at “Lincoln's j Inn" or “Temple Bar," but he was sober 1 enough to say a good thing, and he sirid i it.

Well, he did!” And those who saw the joke, after pon dering over it, smiled gently a;nl went their several ways.

CHARACTERISTICALLY FBKNCHY. Houesaye’s Paris Correspondence of the New York Tribane]. Next Friday I shall have the honor of receiving at my house most of the Pari sian and American belles. I shall say nothing about the fete afterward, but I shall tell you a little about it beforehand. I only wanted 5<X) persons, the cream of the cream, the flower of the early peas, the ne plus ultra. But 1 am literally besieged. The Opera Ball did not suc ceed because there was such a mixed society; they say that my Venetian fete will succeed because everybody will know or guess at the others; political society, diplomatic anfi high life. The women are going so recklessly iuto costumes that Worth and the three or four great dressmakers of Paris have gone crazy over their needles. Several women are to change their costume Reveral times, and 1 shall have to set aside a room for these metamorphoses. The mysterious saloon will be like a “star” dressing-room; in fact, for this night all the women will be actresses, because all play some part or other under their hoods. So the men may beware of tbe brigands ala Hood, as iu Sherwood Forest. There seems to be no fear of these dangers, as the most serioua personages are willing to risk, them. For three days I have been in visible, as if I had the Heliotrope of Dante, to escape the necessity of refus ing invitations. You can not imagine the farces which are played by men in pursuit of a pink card. One man sent me his seconds yesterday imder pretense that I had gravely insulted him in shut ting my door ou him. My seconds an swered that we would see the sunrise, if he wished it, iu the Bois de Vincennes —but after the fete. I have also duels ! on had with the women. It is rumored j that 1 am about to lay away my bachelor life, for which it is certainly time; but the origin of this story is that I am j about to marry my oldest son, M. Henry j Houssaye, the historian. It is a love- I match, after the American and not the , French style. We often dined at Count Potocki’s, who, smee he was twenty years of age, lias had the fancy of numbering his years by his millions. 1 He is now seventy-two years old, and has seventy-two millions. Do uot be - my son is not marrying the millions of Count Potocki. They would ! 1)C a great embarrassment to him with his severe taste for the history of antiquity. He marrit s a young and lovely Italian princess, a ' Piguatelli, Princess Cerchiara, whose father was [ embassador of the King of Naples in linssia. In the course of diniug and sitting together the Historian and the Princess perceived that they were in love. Is not a love match the true mariayede const:nance, f The Princess, who is the eldest child, and who has no brother, brings as a dower to her hus band the title of Prince of Cerchiara. But what is far better, she brings him her beauty and her heart, without meutioifing a place at Naples, where i they will go to flirt through their honey moon. But I see that I am committing un indiscretion in giving you a piece of news which I have refused to give to auy journal in Paris. BANTER. The Great Christian Festival. To-day is Faster Sunday, the festival of the resurrection of our Lord, or the I Christian passover. The English name Faster and the German Ostern have been supposed by some writers to be derived from the name of the feast of the Teu-: tonic goddess Ostera (the goddess of Spring), which was celebrated bv the ancient Saxotis in the Spring, and for which the early missionaries substituted 1 the Christian festival. According to Addling, both the English and the Ger- | man words are derived from the old ■ Saxon word oster , osfen, which signifies ; rising, because nature arises anew in the 1 Spring. According to the Mosaic law, the passover among the Jews was cele brated on the 11th day of the month. Abib, afterwards called Nisan, tlpit is within a day or two of the vernal 1 equenox. The early Christians dif- 1 ferial in regard to the time of eele- 1 brating Eaater. The churches in the West taught, as they declared, bv ' Bt. Philip and St. Paul, observed file nearest Sunday to the full moon of Ni san, without taking account of the Joy on which tlie passover was celebrated. Asiatic churches, on the other hand, hi accordance, as they said, with the tra dition derived from St. John, followed the Jewish calendar, and adopting the i If 111 of Nisan as the day of the cruci fixion, celebrated the festival of Easter ou the third day following, whatever day of the week that might be. From this eireninstaiieo they were called (Jnar todeeinian*. The dispute on tin* (want in process of time became serious, and neither side was able to eonvmce or eon vert the other. The venerable l’olyesrp, B.sbop of Sm vriiu. went to Rome, A. U 158, arid had a conference with .)mice tn-on this Dubjccjt. Forty year* la'er Ve-tor, Uishop of Rune, was apjwaled 1 to anil was very peremptory in requiring l '*’ Asiatic Hinliop* to conform to the rule .( itm Wi-atx-rn Church.

Vj t t 1 then went so far as to break off com munion with live Eastern Churches, for which he was relinked by ht. F iof Lyons. After tin* tlie contending parties agreed to maintain their respee i live custom* aud practices on tin* *ub jeet without censuring one another. — Having occasional dispute-, matti rs con tinued iu this state until the time of I Constentinc, who bed tin- subject brought before the Council of Nice (A. D. 3:45). Ibe question was fully dis cussed, and finally settled for the who!'- church by adoptiug the rufe which ' makes Easter day always to be the first Huml-iy after the full moon which imp pens upou or next after March 21; au.l ! if the full moon happens oh a Sunday, Easter day is the Huuday after. By this arrangement Easter may come as early as March 22 or as late as April 25th. This sacred festival has been termed the (Jiieen of Festivals; it has lieeu observed from the very beginning and it is celebrated in every part of the Christian world with great solemnity and devotion. The primitive Chris tians, very early ou the morning of Easter, saluted each other with tlie I words, “Christ is risen,” to which the j ! response was made, “Christ is risen, iu- ' deed, and hath appeared to Simon.” The Greek Church still retains this cus tom. In nearly all Christian countries - the recurrence of Easter has been cele brated with various ceremonies, popu lar sports and superstitions. Among the best known is the English cus j tom of making presents of colored eggs, called pasclie or pasted eggs, which were often elaborately orna mented ; aud in a royal roll of Edward I, preserved iu the Tower, appears an entry of 18d. for 400 eggs to be used j for this purpose. Colored eggs were used by children of Easter in a sort of game which cousists iu testing the strength of the egg shells, ntul this prac tice is retained in many plaees in Eng ; land an 4 the United States. Iu some parts of Ireland the legend is current that the sun dances in the skv on Easter Sunday morning. This was onee a pre vailing superstition iu England, also, which Sir Thomas Browne, the author |f “ Inquiries Into Vulgar Errors,” i thought it not superfluous to declare unfounded. The game of ball was a favorite Easter sport, in xvliieh munici pal corporations formerly engaged with due parade and dignity; aud at Bury St. Edmnuds within a few years the game was kept up by twelve old women, with great spirit. Iu the northern counties ~t England, on Easter Huuday, ! the men parade the streets and claim the privilege of lifting every woman three times from the ground, receiving in payment a kiss or a silver sixpence. The same is done by tlie women to the men on the next day. In a part of Ox fordshire, after evening service on Eas ter Sunday, men and women used, as late as 1822, to throw great quantities of apples into the church yard, and those who had been married during the year threw three times as many as the rest; after which all went to the minister’s house and feasted on bread, cheese aud ale. The day will be celebrated with ap propriate services in the Catholic, Epis copal aud Lutheran Churches, of this city. * Archbishop Bayley, of Baltimore, who by virtue of his position over the mother diocese of the Catholic Church iu this eouutry, is primate of its councils, has expressed his high appreciation of Cardinal McCloskey. “To some,” he says, “he may not appear to have that force of character necessary. But uoise is not force. ” The work of the prolate tells what he is, anil tbe growth aud prosperity of the archdiocese of New York beneath his charge is MoCloskey.’s sufficient warrant of worth aud strength. The archbishop intimates that the re lations of the cardinal with the Federal Government will be cordial, and that nobody need lie scared or aoamlaliaed if the President should address him some day as “My cousin,” as the custom of rulers is. In all courts the cardinal ranks next to the princes of the blood, aud doubtless this dignity will be refldi ly accorded at Waahingtion.

Augusta, Ga Financial and CommerciaL Weekly Review of Augusta market. Augusta, Ga.. Friday Afternoon, I March 27.1875. f The Course and Situation of Trade. Generally speaking, the market has ruled dull. This, iu a great measure, is accounted for by planters being busy with their crops. They have had so much wet weather aud so little opportunity to sow Spring crops that it is a matter of dire necessity to take advantage now of every hour of sunshine. The season grows apace, aud it is time corn was in the ground, and the preparations far advan ced for planting cotton. The rain continues to fall. Since our last general report the heaviest of the season have visited every county in Georgia, with two terrible cyclones thrown in for extraoidinarv measure. When we closed our last Weekly Review meats were buoyant and advancing both here and in the West. Ou Saturday the upward tendency was arrested—stopping at 12} for Clear Ribbed Smoked Sides, at'which figure they have remained firm antksp close to-night. Dry Salt Sides lc. cheaper. The reception of a surplus of new crop Hams, both sugar cured and plain, has had a depressing effect upon the price, aud wholesale lots have declined lc to lc. Other cuts remain firm at the quota tions given below. Lard haß advanced folly lc. per pound during the week. Wheat has declined, fl 40 was. yesterday, the beet that could be obtained for the choicest grade of white, aud others in proportion. White Com has ruled firm at $1 08 m car load lots. Choice lots of mixed are bringing nearly the same. Oats have boon steady throughout at 83c. to 85. The stock of Grain in the city to-day, and. indeed, during the week, has been light, barely enough to supply the immediate demand and no more. Flour is very strong, approximating more nearly the outside than the inside quotations given below. Tbe lower grades continues in light Supply. We have good stocks of the higher grades, though nothing at all extra ordinary. The stock of Western Hay is very low, but we have a good supply of East ern. This has thrown the demand upon Eastern almost exclusively. AU grades are fim at the full quotations. The necessities of planters are forcing them ,o streneously pre=s their credit. The accommodations now extended are but few though promises are made To do better later in the season. Tlie Cotton Market. The market has not materially changed dur ing the week. It opened last Saturday at and closed to-night at 15j. It will be seen by the table below that the sales aggregate 1.337 bales, footing up $80,905 The sales for the season aggregate $10,309,780 Tbe following will show the course of the mar ket from day to day : tvVTUHTv* ).

Tho amount of money paid out there for, 486.905. The sales for the season since September 1, 1874, aggregate 158,612 hales, and the total amount of currency pa and out in Augusta this cotton season foots up 410,309.780. The demand for money from bank is great er than has been since tbe beginning of the year. It is difficult to state precisely the ex act cause of this, unless it be the drain to say Northern balances and the falling off in re ceipts from the sale of cotton. The banks still hold au ample amount to meet the demand, indeed, more than there is any call for backed by such collaterals as they are now accepting. Our m rchants are demanding either spot cash or upon call for everything sold, nnless ill instance where thirty or sixty days are and; mowdod by housed kll, we , try, be D“‘feet'v solvent and prompt. The rates of interest may, in general terms, be stated at 10 to 12 per cent. —the figures de termined by the circumstances surrounding each transaction. The Dry Goods Trade. The Spring trade opehs Vciher slowly. The j sales this week are very light for the season, : the merchants say far les than the corre- | ponding week last year. The stocks of Spring purchases have all been generally made aiid received They have not been heavy, but the display in many of our wholesale aud re tail houses is very beautifui. We hope for better trade after awhile. Stocks and Bonds. The demand for Georgia Railroad stock, for State Bonds, for Augusta Municipal. Bank and Factory, for Savannah and for Western Alaba ma Railway, is far greater than tbe snpplv. the rates of these are buoyant. There U little or no inquiry for anything else.
