Wo mado note a few days since of the elegant flouring mills of Mr. Geo. W. Woodruff. Since then wo have been shown tho establishment and are glad to publish It as an ornament to the city. The mill in every detail is complete, with the very latest machinery, and are daily turn ing out the very best grades of flour. In fact, experts and housekeepers claim a large preference for tho flour manufac tured by the Empire Mills, over all other brands brought to this market. Besides having unusual facilities for making Hour, meal is made In great quantities, and shipped by Mr. Woodruff all over South Alabama and West Florida. The ndll tnrns out three hundred barrels of flour and one thousand bushels of meal per day. They employ 16 regular hands, and ten hands in loading and unloading grain. The now granary is 210 feet long, and a railroad track running from the main branch of tho Mobile A Girard Railroad runs through the granary. A pair of largo scales, drawing four tons, stands at the head of (lie granary. Mr. Woodruff owns tho mill, and has in his employ his son as salesman, Mr. Joe Jefferson, grain sampler; J. 8. Dozier, book-keeper, and Mr. H. T. Jackson as general traveling agent. The establishment, it will be seen, is well officered unit in every way capaci tated to servo tho public. They havetheir own dray lino ready to deliver freight In tho city, or to the railroads and boats. All the facilities tho mill controls allows them to sell flour, meal, bran, shorts and seconds, cheaper than any establishment, In the State. Wo hope to see them find a markot for their goods all through tho South. It is a home institution and should iiave preference over Western and North ern mills. Haggle*.

Mrs. Tyng, author of ‘‘Crown Jewels," Is on a visit to her sister, Mrs. Flournoy, who resides In Russell county. It Is said that tho human body contuins over two pounds of lime.

Every man should have something to do, even if it is only sitting on a stool be-" hind the bars in a county jad and count ing tho minutes before dinner.

Severity of punishment seems to be tlie rule in Lowell, Massachusetts. A police officer, for the trifling offense of shooting a man who was avoiding the service of a warrant, has just been sentenced to eigh teen months’ imprisonment in the House of Correction. A distinguished young man says, “When I find the girl who lias got the stamps, I find one who does not want me." Next Thursday is tlie day appointed by tlie President as Thanksgiving Day. The printers will devote It to duck shooting. No one but giants should try to shake hands with Moody, and they should brace themselves.

THE 843 Y AT THE THEATRE. audience, actors and orchestra di verted, if not entertained by a lit tle DA KLI NO. From tlie Halt lake (Utah) Ht-ralil.J She brought the darling with her to see the pluv. Her entire devotion to the active infant and total indif ference to observation proclaimed her its mother. She tickled the baby under the chin till it crowed again. Site seized its foot and shook it till the infant suffocated itself with de light. This had a bad effect, ior when the buhe recovered its wind it yelled with fright. Then,such a kiss ing and dandling. It was tossed and playfully shaken, and grinned at, and chirruped to until it began all ot her alarming laugh. An artificial rose in the maternal bonnet caught the infantile eye, and tlie delighted mamma suffered heroffsprlng to bob weakly up and down on its limber legs, and jabber earnestly at the floral ornament. People in the vicini ty grew nervous. Such a lively infant was sure to make tilings disagreeable before the evening was over. Sever al young meii got up and changed tHeir seats to tlie other side of tiie theatre. Gentlemen contracted t heir brows, and unmarried ladies as sumed fixed smiles of unnatural sweet ness as they cast their line eyes to- j ward tiie playful infant and its proud and happy mother. The lights were turned up, and bulged out the infant’s eyes with surprise. One feeble little hand, with all the tihy lingers work ing, was stretched convulsively to ward the glittering gas jets on the other side of the auditorium. Tiie or chestra began with a crash. The baby ; fell upon its back in the maternal lap and set up a shriek so loud that the old German doing a little solo on the cornet between crushes had li is sound quite drowned. It was noticed that when it came to the bass drum man’s turn to chime in he did so with a | thundering vigor that would have j covered the screeches of a foundling i hospital. Baby got used to it, and I when the curtain rang up sat in a! state of stupefaction, staring at the j actors. An amiable old gentleman, in eye glasses and white vest, sit ting immediately in front of the baby, wearied of the play, and in the most grandfatherly manner possible, turned, and, poking a fat, forefinger into tlie infant’s ribs, jocosely clicked his tongue. The consequence of this advance was that just as a young gen tleman on the stage, who was on his knees before a young lady, with aver ted head, remarked, in an impassion ed manner, “And, Edith, darling, should heaven bless our union and give us”—baby gave a howl of super natural loudness. The confused and mortified old gentleman blew his nose with prodigious vigor straight before him with a very red lace. The young gentleman on the stage was startled out of his speech, and the young lady, overcome with emotion, stuffed her handkerchief into tier mouth. Every man in tlie house scowled at the mother, who seemed more calmly delighted with her dar ling than ever, and made loving faces at it for full five minutes. She was really and truly unconscious that she and her pet annoyed any one, and throughout the whole evening smiled serenelyand looked upon the infant’s screams and kicks as marks of a pre cocity which must excite the admira tion of the public.

TIIUOIGII TO THE PACIFIC. WHAT THE TEXAS PRESS THINKS THE PRO POSED NATIONAL HIOIIWAY SHOULD BE From tlio oalvcton Hew..] The News contended for a termi nal point (of the Texas & Pacific Railway] inside of Texas, not in the interest of Galveston ]>eeuliarly, but in the interest of and for the dignity and prestige of the collective State us a commercial, industrial, social and political community. In urging this claim t Ik- News made no reference to the enterprise in any other character than that signified by tlie name which it assumed, and by the large favors which it asked and received from t lie Slate. If the Texas & Paci fic Railway is not satisfied to remain in that character, and to abide by its logical and equitable implications, very well. Rut then, if the special advocate of the enterprise insists on presenting it in the light ofa national institution, and renounce, the idea of its being eminently Texan, with what reason can they claim the eminent bounty of Texas in continued liberal ity of legislation? The immense ex tent, of the public domain of the State granted to the road on conditions which have failed, would be accept able, and probably efficient, aids to many projects of internal improve ment which do not pretend to be national first, and Texan afterward or notat all. The coast towns of the State would he glad to have some of it to assist them in building break waters and dikes, Tlie people of Western Texas, who justly complain of her practical exclusion from the benefits of the bounties lavished by the State in helping to develop a railway system which is thus far con fined to the Eastern and central por tions of the State, would gladly see ull of it devoted to tiie speedy exten sion of that system into theirsection. Such an amend for past neglect might go far toward healing the dis affection which threatens an ulti mate division of the State. Rut what internal jealousies and troubles could be delayed, what dangers to the unity of the State could be avert ed by the continued lavishing of Texas bounty on a railroad enterprise that proposed to traverse merely the, extreme northern border of tlie State, to make its terminal points, east and west, outside of the State, and to en tertain no proposition to modify such an arrangement by consenting to have at least one terminus on the coast of Texas? Perhaps when this matter is better understood, the Tex as & Pacific Railway will see that it can afford to be a Texas institution so far as to engage to subscribe to a reasonable condition, in behalf of the common interests of the State at large, to its continued enjoyment of the State’s liberality. The San Antonia Herald does not think well of the Convention at St. Louis to make influence in favor of Colonel Tom Scott, and remarks: If the South is to be benefited by ] the completion of this road, it eaii j only possibly bo at our own expenses j in building and operating roads that may become hrancii roads, leading to the several commercial marts in the south. These expenditures may j be in apperatu.s for changing thej gauge of ears upon the Texas & Pacific road, so as to adapt such trains ns (he South may be enabled to control to tho different gauges of j the Southern roads. In crossing thej Mississippi river, in mukingSt. Louis the eastern terminus, as designed by the lire sent machinations, they pos ! sess a noble bridge to pass their rail-! road ; whereas, at. their own expense, j Southern cities will have to cross' what trains they can divert from the j main lines on ferryboats. Thus it j will be perceived, that it Congress accedes to the petition of Tom Scott it Cos., what would bo claimed as a boon to tlie South would enure to her serious detriment, and almost exclusively to tin* benefit of tin* North going to swell tlie otherwise j vast resources of tlie North at the ex pense of tho South. We have given to our readers tlie letter of Senator Johnston, of Virginia. against these intrigues of Tom Scott. We have given them the strictures of Gen. Beauregard upon the Johnston , letter and in favor of aid to Tom Scott, to build the road in the man ner he suggests. We have more re cently published in extenso the speech of Mr. Rond, the Vice Presi- ! dent of tho Texas & Pacific Railroad, the salaried advocate of its peculiar interests, so that it will be seen we have presented to our readers a fair and candid opportunity to judge ofj its merits and demerits. Our own worthy Governor has complied with the wishes of Tom Scott A Cos., and appointed delegates to attend said convention. The East Texas Patron, under the heading, “Monopolists at Work,” thus speaks of the schemes of Col. Tom Scott and his coadjutors in the Texas Pacific Railroad Company : “The Southern people and South ern influences are to be won over by naming the thing Southern, and Tex as, by calling it tiie Texas Pacific Road," when the truth of the matter is, it would only bo an extenson of Col. Scott's great monopoly, the Pennsylvania Central Railroad, with its true termini in Philadelphia or New York, and its pretended eastern terminus at Shreveport, where close connection would be made with the lines extending north, which are un der the control of Col. Scott. While we would he benefited by any arrangement which is perfected, so the road is pushed through from Fort Worth to the Pacific, we cannot indorse a scheme which pretends to be furthered for the interest of the whole South, and whieli is so far from it. We want a direct route to the Atlantic seaboard through the Southern States, if you are going to tack Southern Pacific to the scheme as its name. Shreveport is a Western city her self ; then why make it, au eastern terminus of the road? The obstacles which have been thrown in the way ' of the completion of the gap between ! Shreveport and Monroe, so as to pre vent even a connection with Colonel Scott’s Texas A Pacific Railroad, shadows forth plainly that it is! Colonel Scott’s intention to divert i the business of the proposed road over his northeast connections. What we want is a purely Southern air-line road, which will benefit the! whole South and assist us in rebuild ing our shattered resources. We are glad to see Governor Coke has ap-j pointed delegates to the Railroad Convention in St. Louis, and we hope ; they will act and speak out for equal; and exact justice to the whole South. ; The road lias such great inducements to offer capitalists over any line of road now in contemplation that it j would doubtless have been long since completed but for the machinations of these same, railroad monopolists. We shall look with interest to the proceedings of the St. Louis Conven tion arid see if might will prevail over right, nature against scheme and intrigue, and just legislation against the monopolists.

Messrs. Ilraitfleld A (bj Gentlemen—You will please ship us an other supply of your invaluable Female Regulator, and forward bill by mail. We are happy to state that this remedy gives better satisfaction than any article we sell. We have been selling it since 1868, and witnessed many remarkable cures by it. Among others, there was a lady friend of ours who was sallow and sickly until she was twenty-six years old, when she was married. Her husband livid two years and died. She continued in bail health; in fact, she has never been what u woman ought to be. A few months after the death of her husband she saw your advertisement, and came to our spire and bought a bottle of your Regula tor from us, and took it according to di rections. It hive cured her sound and well, brought her regular monthly peri ods on, and to-day she is a hearty, bloom ing widow—with the use of but two bot tles of your Regulator, costing her only three dollars, when she had ti led several physicians and spent a great deal of money without any benefit.
