The Treasury Department has issued regu

all instances a power of attorney to ho given

each a bond, or by each individual member
thereof executing a bond separately. This is
rendered necessary by the absence in the re

in tho 25th section of the act of March 21,
1823.

An exoliange tells u* that “George W. Childs,

Vienna, with its suburbs, at present contains
1,12)1,999 inhabitants, having increased by
90,000 inhabitants since 1872, notwithstanding
tho crisis it passed through. The surprising
conformity in tho rise of Vienna and Berlin
daring tho last thirty years is the reason why
the movement of tho population of tho two
German capitals is being carefully compared
When the last census of tho German Empire
gave Berlin an amount of 830,000 inhabitants,
it was universally proclaimed that Berlin hail
surpassed Vienna. This was, however, a mis
take. occasioned by the fact that Berlin always
included both suburbs aud garrison in the num
ber id its inhabitants, whilst Vienna accounts
for these separately, although they adjoin the
oity itself. Vienna is still the large German
town, if wo calculate by the number of its in
habitant*. and not by the territory it occupies.
Pope Pius IX celebrated, on Thursday last,
his ciglity-third birthday, and if he lives until
the 17th of next June, he will have completed
the twenty-ninth year of his pontificate. Other
Popes have lived to a greater age than the
present head of tho Catholic Church, twelve of
them having reached 84. bnt the number of
vears of his pontificate surpasses that of any
of his predecessors, even that of St. Peter, to
whom history assigns twenty-five years' rule of
the church. The present Pope was born May
13, 1792, received holy orders in 1818; was
made an Archbishop in 1837, and a Cardinal in
1840. and on June 16, 146. after the death of
Gregory XIV. he was chosen Pope, being pro
claimed tho next day. There were then in the
Sacred College sixty-one Cardinals, only eight
of whom are now living, and but one of them,
the Archbishop of Fermo, is older than the
Pope, ho Icing four weeks the senior. Fitts
I\. during his reign, has created 99 Cardinals,
of whom 50 have siuco died, and the College
now numbers 57.
An insuperable obstacle to tho p polariza
tion of pronouncing-matches lies in the con
spicuous absence of anything like analogy in
English orthoepy. Take for example three
words all derived from tho Greek verb schirzo.
in which the eh has a bard sound: Theologians
want us against “schism.” which, despite
Walker's protest, they cal! “si-m:" mineralo
gists tell us of “schist," which they ptonouuco
“slnst;” while zoologists alone are orthodox
enough to give the sound of kto the eh in
“sehizopod.” Many like instances can be
found by any one who has patience to liuut for
them iu an etymological dictionary, even ex
cluding the multifarious aud foreigner-dts
tractiug "oughs," which constitute the most
baleful legacy of tlte original Saxon oppressor.
A remarkable escape was made from Sing
Slug prison by five convicts last week. From
the prison quarry to the prison yard there is
an arch and bridge spuming the track of the
Hudson River Railroad. An extra freight train
was pa-siug under this bridge, when five men
dropped from it on tit? cars. Four made for
lire engine and one for the coupling which
fastened it to the train. The four presented {
cocked revolvers at the head of the engineer, j
and told him to “git,” and he did. The fire- j
man, who was wedged up next the boiler, was \
persuaded by tbe same arguments to make a j
dash through the window of the cab. The j
coupling was drawn and the throttle-valve j
pulled wide open, and the engine started like ;
mad down the track, the bullets of the prison j
guard, who had been alarmed, whizzing harm- :
lessly about it. As the engineer was getting j
off he had the presence of mind to turn on the
pumps, unobserved by the convicts. This!
probably saved a terrible disaster to an up i
bound train. The engine flashed passed Scar- !
borough like a streak of lightning, but before j
it reached Tarrytowu she had taken water so j
fast that the heads of the cylinders were :
blown off, and that brought her to a stand |
still. It was a shrewd thought on the part sf
the engineer, who, will fonr revolvers at his
head, hadn't much time to think. The prison
ers took to the woods but four were subse
quently captured. They can say, however,
that they made three miies on the Hudson
Biver Railway quicker than was ever done be
fore. 'd in not to exceed two minutes and a

AWFUL VISITATION.
A Young'Mananda Little Boy Htruck
By Liirhtuintr and Killed.
A terrible tragedy occurred near Al
lendale, on the Port Royal Railroad, in
So nth Carolina, last Wednesday after
noon. A young man uamed M. O. Fitts,
a law student in the office of Joseph
Irving, Esq., started ont Tuesday morn
ing on a business tour through the
neighborhood for his preceptor. Hav
ing finished what he had set out to ac
complish Mr. Fitts turned his horse's
head homeward Wednesday afternoon.
While riding leisurely along he over
took a little white boy, about twelve
years of age, traveling in the same
direction. He immediately halted
and invited the little fellow to
take a seat behind him. Delighted
with the opportunity to get a ride the
boy did not wait for a second invitation,
bnt jumped up at once. The two then
proceeded, the horse which they were
riding jogging slowly along. Soon
after passing a log cabin by the road
side, in which an old negro lived, a
small cloud approached and a light
shower of rain commenced to fall. De
- irons of avoiding getting wet, yonng
Fitts urged hia horse under the over
hanging bonghs of a large tree and
halted. A few moments afterwards
there was a blinding flash of lightning,
and the old negro, who was standing in
the front door of his cabin, saw horse
and riders fall prone upon the earth.
Almost immediately there was a terrific
peal of thunder. Horrified beyond mea
sure, the negro rushed to the tree.
Horse, young man and child were all
lying motionless. Not a sign of life
was visible nor was there any evidence
of movement on the part of any of the
three after they touched the ground.
The negro was for a moment almost
paralyzed by the sight, but soon re
gaining his presence of mind be sped as
fast as his legs would carry him to Dr.
Irving’s, a mile distant, and told his sail
tale. As quickly as possible tbe Doc
tor proceeded to tho s|>ot, bnt the un
fortunate young man and the child were
beyond human aid. The horse was also
completely dead. As stated above, there
was no evidence of a struggle after the
fatal bolt struck them. Death was un
doubtedly instantaneous. There were
no marks ot bruises about either the
young man, the child or the horse, nor
was there anything to indicate where
the electric fluid had touched them, ex
cept a small singed place on the child's
hair near one of the ears. The tree had
not been struck. Young Fitts was
holding over himself and the child at
the moment the flash occurred a silk
umbrella, with steel ribs and a steel
ferule at the top of the stuff. It was
this, in all probability, that attracted
the lightning. The body of Mr. Fitts
was brought to Augusta by the train of
the Port Itoyal Railroad last Thursday
afternoon, and buried in the City Ceme
tery. He was a nephew, by marriage,
of Mr. Josiah Miller, of this city. A
graduate of a Baltimore college, he was
a young man of great promise and moral
excellence, and liis untimely death is
greatly regretted by all with whom he
had any acquaintance.
The Silver Wedding. —As we briefly
announced in our issue of yesterday.
Judge and Mrs. J. S. Hook celebrated
the twenty-fifth anniversary of their
wedding on last Thursday night, and a
more delightful occasion we never wit
nessed. The spacious grounds in front
of Judge Hook’s residence were bril
liantly illuminated with Chinese lan
terns and other lights, making one feel
as if he had stepped from our prosaic
life back into some region of oriental
beauty.
Inside tho house gaiety reigned su
preme, and the numerous host of guests
who met to congratulate the bride and
groom of twenty-five years agone en
joyed themselves full well. Music and
dancing made the golden hours with
fairy wings fly swiftly by. About mid
night the doors of tho supper room were
thrown open and the guests were
regaled with a magnificent feast of the
good things of this life. After sup
per the music and dancing were re
sumed, and ceased not until nearly
daylight. A number of handsome pres
ents of silver testified the high esteem
felt for Judge Hook and his wife by
their many friends. The occasion was
most enjoyable to all present und
brought back to us the recollection of
similar evenings when in ante helium
times Southern hospitality was the won
der and admiration of tbe world.
Never before, we are confident, did a
younger looking couple than Judge
Hook and his wife celebrate their silver
wedding, and never before, we are con
fident, was a silver wedding more de
lightfully celebrated.
To our friends, Judge and Mrs. Hook,
we tender our sineerest congratulations
and say to them, as wo wish tlfem, all
health, happiness and good fortune in
the future. “ May you live long and
prosper.”
The Code of Honor in France. —The
Pall Mall Gazette, speaking of duell
ing iu France, says : “The changes iu
the manner of fencing have been atten
ded by reforms on the points which
render duelling inevitable. Formerly a
careless tread ou the foot or a rub with
the elbow was considered a case for
blood if au instant and lavish apology
wero not offered; now-a-davs an insult,
such as ‘miserable,’ is often explained
away as having been tittered in parlia
mentary sense, aud means bavo been
found to sooi he awtty even a slap ou the
face without recourse to arms. Not
long ago we witnessed in Paris a rather
singular scene. A gentleman, with a
lady on his arm, was passing down the
boulevards, when there suddenly sprang
out of ft cafe another gentlemau, who
dealt him a violent kick. Tho victim
bounded round and the assaulter recoiled
with consternation, for the kick had been
dealt under mistake of identity. Expla
nation. however, though most contritely
offered, did not appease the victim, who
furiously yelled, ‘Some of my acquaint
ances may have seen me kicked, and
will go about sayiug that I did uot wipe
off the insult, i must slap your face.’
And he did bestow a box on the ears,
which tho other received in a spirit of
Christian humility very commendable.
There is no reasou to suppose* that this
gentleman was less brave than his grand
father. who having ouce administered a
kick would probably have accepted no
other retribution for it than that of the
sword’s point. But the nineteenth cen
tnry had evidently sown it3 eiviiiziog
germs iu his soul. Iu a general way it
may’ be said that in France duellists
have ceased to be much respected,
though moat men are expected to fight
once in order to jaire leurs preuves.—
When a man has been oat more than
three times an odor of disrepute hangs
about him. M. Paul de Cassagnac is a
solitary instance of a man ltaviug fought
fourteen duels without losing his wel
come iu society; though it is fair to add
that if this sensitive writer were greeted
without welcome he would p obably uu
sheath a fifteenth time.” r
Civxii Rights. Yesterday morning
when the Central Railroad train was
about to leave Savannah a white man
escorting a mulatto woman and her
child walked np and ushered the wo
man and child into the ladies’ ear. At
Milieu the woman aud child boarded
the Augusta train and again took a seat
in the ladies’ car. Ooudnctor Young
blood iuformed her that there was a ear
ahead for colored people, but she de
clared that she had a tirst-class ticket
and therefore intended to remain
where she was. The conductor was
powerless in the premises and so she
remained. At Augusta she proceeded
to the train of the Charlotte, Columbia
and Augusta Railroad, and as before
went into the ladies’ car.
Flour from New Wheat. —We re
ceived from Messrs. John M. Clark A ■
Sobs, yesterday, a barrel of “Gilt Edge" i
flour ground that morning from new j
wheat. The wheat from which the flour j
was manufactured was grown in Wood- j
lawn, near this city, by Mr. Fisk, au ]
amateur farmer. The flour is of a very I
superior quality. Messrs. John M. !
Clark A Cos. are among the most enter- J
prising millers in the South. Three j
barrels of the new flour were forwarded |
last evening. One was sent to 14. M. j
Lea, New York; one to Thomas M.
Mathews 4 Sons, Baltimore; aud the
other to Murmaduke & Brown, St. Louis.
This is the first new flour that has come
to our knowledge.
Lease of Convicts. —The Atlanta Her
ald ,of yesterday, says : The forty-three
convicts now in the hands of Mr. Geo.
D. Harris were leased on yesterday to
Mr. John Howard, of Columbus. Mr. j
Howard bid S6O per bead for them; a j
pretty fair price. They will be put at
work cutting turnpike roads through
the country, and making brick. There
were ten bids in for the convicts, the
prices ranging from sl7 per head to
S6O. Messrs. John T. Grant k Cos. did
not put in a bid. having “as many as
tkev wauted.” The Dade Coal Company
tried to get them but failed.
Tattnal county promises a large yield
of oats.
The supply of meat in the Atlanta
market is small.
The Atlanta Catholics are making
j preparations for a grand fair.
The Montgomery Grays and Auburn

EXPERIENCE OF A YOUNG WOMAN.—A
country pretty and lxappy, her step was
elastic and the roses of health bloomed upon her
cheer. One April morn she was overtaken by a
“Spring shower,”and caught a cold.
It was her “particular time,” and suppression W3s
the result. At the next “period” nature refused to
act. Hhe became Fallow, swollen, and suffered in
tensely with pain In the back and “lower stomach,”
palpitations, diffleu ty of breathing, indigestion and
teadache. Doctors failed to pall .ate her distressed
condition, and she longed for Ce ath as the only hope
of relief. At the instance of a friend, who herself
experienced its benefits, she was induced to try Dr.
J. Bradfield’s Female Regulator. One bottle cured
her. Hhe was again the h ippy girl she was that
April morning before tho shower. The Female
Regulator is prepared by L. H, Brad field, Druggist,
Atlanta, Ga., at $1 50 per bottle and kept by all re
spectable drug men throjghout the land.
A .Most Excellent Hemedy.
Atlanta, Ga., March 12, 1870.
I have examined the recipe of Brad field’s Female
Regulator, and from iny knowledge of theingre.lients
believe it a most excellent medicine, and well suited
to that class of diseases designated. I have no hesi
tation in advising its use, aud confidently recom
mend it to the public.

Weekly Review of Aagasta Market.
Augusta. May 29, 1875
General Remarks.
A single word, “quiet,” will express the con
dition <-f tbe Augusta market this week. Busi
ness is confined strictiy to the regular legiti
mate demauJ. and trier hants generally do no 1
expect any considerable revival of trade before
the Ist of September. Provisions are firm at
somewhat easier figures, Bacon in particular
having started on tbs down grade. This is
owing altogether to the limited demand and
the desire of h Mere to mm a portion of their
stock, at any rate, into money. From now un
til Fall business men generally will be content
to clear expenses and make small profits. On
the other band, it is true that the situation
altogether is more encouraging than it has
been for years past at this season.
Financial.
The financial eitu&tion continues practically
unchanged. Money, perhaps, is a little scarcer
and harder to obtain than a few weeks since.
Tbe President of one of onr leading banks re
ports that be has not discounted five thousand
dollars w ortb of paper during tbe past three
days, and could not to-day loan a thousand
dollars on the beet security. The demand is
active, and would be still greater but for the
fact that it is well known that the institution is
anding but little iu the way cf discounting pa
per He could loan one or two hundred dollars
for short date to any party whoneeded it badly
and offered the proper security, but he cou and
hardly do more than that. He considers money
scarce, with an active demand. On the other
hand, the chief officer of another bank says
that he has plenty of money on hand to loan
on good securit at twelve per cent. The ma
jority of transactions are for short dates, but
still considerable sums could be advanced on
gilt edged paper for three and four months.
Paper, with a prospect of renewal after re
newal. is not desired. Sew York Exchange is
becoming scarce and higher, with a prospect of
a still greater scarcity.

Cotton.
Tho Cotton market during the week has been
quiet and dull, with small receipts aud offer
ings. Prices are in the main unchanged, and
bid fair to continue so for some time to come,
The weather during the week has been hot
and dry, and rain is much needed.
Tho Crop.
Reports from all sections show a good stand
but small plants. The crop is fully three weeks
behind that of last year. As last year’s crop
was backward at least two weeks, it is evident
that that now springing up is nearly six weeks
behind the crop of tlto average year. Wliat
will he accomplished by good weather iu the
future remains to be seen.
Reports of the condition of the crop have
been issued by a number of Exchanges. That'
of tho Augusta Exchange was published in the
local columns of the Chronicle and i-entinel
last Wednesday. We present this morning tho
reports of the Savannah and Mobile Exchanges.

The Mobile Cotton Exchange furnishes tlio
Chronicle and Sentinel with tlio following re
port;
Mobilk, May 25, 1875.
To the Officers and Members of the Mobile Cot
ton Exchange:
Your Committee respectfully submit the fol
lowing report of the condition, etc., of the
growing cotton crop, in the district allotted to
Mobile. The replies to our questions average
in date about the 15th instant.
Alabama.— 43 Counties, 123 Replies.—The
area of land planted in cotton, as compared
with last year, is as follows: 16 counties report
an increase of from 5 to 20 per cent, average 10
per cent. 25 the same acreage aud 2 a de
crease-one 8 per cent. (Bibb), and the other
25 per cent. (Randolph). The weather has
been generally much more favorable than last
year. Some complaint, however, of cold nights
in the northern portion of the State. The
stands, three exceptions (Pickens. Sandford
and Winston), are reported from good to per
fect. and the crop is about a week earlier on
the average than last year. The labor is am
ple, cheaper, and. if anything, more efficient.
Commercial fertilizers have not been much
used, but there has been an almost universal
increase of domestic, The condition of the
crop is good, and generally very promising,
with the exception of the three co’unties above
named.
Mississippi.— l 9 Counties, 68 Replies.—The
acreage, as compared with last year, is as fol
lows: In 14 counties it is about the same (some
reports showing a slight decrease), and in 5 a
decrease of 10 per cent- on the ayerage. The
weather has been generally more favorable.
Some complaint of cold nights in the northern
counties. The stands are from fair to good in
all the comities except Pontotoc, aud the crop
is about ten days earlier tli3n la-t year. The
labor is equal to last year in number aud more
efficient. Very little fertilizers used ip this
State; domestic the only kind applied, and that
only in the poorer oouhties. The condition of
the’ crop is good and generally very promising.
New York; Cotton Market.
We clip the following from the New York
Daily Bulletin, of the 26th :
The market throughout has beep tame and
drooping, and. though there is no serious
break to record, a decided lack of stamina was
noticeable. On “spots' - prices are reduced ic.
per lb. aud though this brings figures pretty
well down to the bids current last week, now
that exporters have gained the concession,
they seem in no hurry to improve it. aud tlye
market was quiet. There was tp be sure
some negotiation on foreign account, bnt buy
ers generally bid low. and lines offered at 15jc.,
basis low middling, were not accepted. There
has been a little more call on domestic con
sumptive orders, bnt not of a general charac
ter. and spinners, as a rule, are still among the
most indifferent operators. A show of making
small offerings is preserved, an 1 there certain
ly is an absence qf pressure, but there is plenty
of cotton available, and the revised quotations
give a very fair idea about what would be ac
cepted.
For futures the tendency centinued down
ward. and along the whole line a further de
cline of l-3201-16c. is to be noted, and in some
cases buyers have even gained a greater ad
vantage. About the same general influences
appear to be at work, faith being shaken by
the flat condition of affairs in Liverpool, the
slow movement of stocks here, and the con
tinuation of favorable advices from the gyo.vf-.
ing crop, accompanied by Southern orders to
sell No unusual pressure wag wade to-day,
but the offerings were more than buyers seem
ed prepared to take eare of. At the close busi
ness was quiet, with an approach to steadiness
on the months covering the balance ef the cur
rent year, but not much strength after Sep
tember.

WEEKLY review.
At the Cotton Exchange the volume of busi
ness was fair, considering the influences.
Prices on spot cotton were $ cent lower early
in the week, and have not since recovered.
Liverpool has not been in a position to induce
shippers here to operate, besides a sharp ad
vance in rates of freight, put up figures to such
a range as to exceed their limits for future
delivery. There has been the usual daily
fluctuations in prices, with a fair amount of
trading, chiefly in the early months.
