WWe do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions expressed oy Correspondents. A Cure for Drunkenness. Dr. A. S. Hayward, of of Boston, writes as follows to the Banner Light: “Dr. Robert D. Unger claims to have discovered a remedy that not only cures intemperance, but leaves the drunkard with an absolute aversion to spirituous liquors. Mr. Tribune Joseph“Medill, editor of the Chicago , is a strong en¬ dorser of the new remedy, and has devoted many editorials to further its general circulation who amongst a class ‘No!’ of unfortunates cannot say when asked to imbibe. It is claimed that the doctor has cured twenty-eight thousand persoi s of the worst form ol intemperance with it, and that this is the first remecy ever discovered that kills the disease and the inclination to drink at one arid the same time. For the benefit of Jiumanity, I hope you will find a spa^e to print the recipe, as follows, which the doctor makes no secret, but desires to give it the widest circulation : “ ‘Take one pound of best fresh, quill-red Peruvian bark, powder it, and soak it one pint of diluted alcohol. Afterwards strain and evaporate down to half a pint. Directions for its use : Dose, a teaspoonful every three hours the first and second day, and occasion ally moisten the tongue between the doses. It acts like quinine, and the patient can tell by a headache if he is getting too much. The third day take as previously, but reduce to one half teaspoonful. Afterward reduce the dose to fifteen drops, and then down to ten, and then to five drops. To make a cure it takes from five to fifteen days, and, in extreme cases, thirty days. Seven days are about the average in which a cure is effected. Reason—Man-Brute. A distinction has been drawn by Rev. George Henslow between the kind of intellect in brutes and that in men. It is given for what it is worth: “It has seemed to me that brute reasoning is always practical, wonderful but things never abstract. Brutes do suggested by the objective fact before them, but I think never go beyond it. Thus, a fetch dog left in a room Had rang the the bell to taught a servant. the bell, not dog been to ring been (which on in¬ quiry proved to have the case,) this would have been abstract reason¬ ing, but it was only practical. The Arctic fox, too wary to be shot like the first who took a bait tied to a string which was attached to the trig¬ ger of a gun—would dive under the snow, the and of so fire. pull This the is bait down below line purely practi¬ cal reasoning, but had the fox pulled the string first out of the line of fire in order the to discharge bait, the gun and then get that would Lave been abstract reasoning. * * * Brutes and boys are just alike, in that nothing occurs to them beyond what the immediate fact before them may suggest. The one kind I call purely practical reasoning, which both have; the other abstract, which brutes never acquire, but which the boy will as his intelligence develops.” At Last. —We were yesterday per¬ mitted to inspect the working model of a machine, which , we think, successful ly solves the problem of a’rial naviga¬ tion. We are not permitted to describe the machine, as its inventor has not yet patented it, but we can say that we saw it in operation, and though raised it weighs weight but eight pounds, pounds it and three a of twenty-one ounces and kept in the air for nearly half an hour, and propelled it against the wind as fast as a man could run. I nlike the generality of serial machines, this one does not depend upon any baloon or gas bag for its buoyant pow¬ ers, and its propulsive machinery is operated by a new motor that is ex¬ tremely Cincinnati light, reliable and powerful.— Enquirer, The Great Chess Player. Professor Anderssen, of Berlin, Ger¬ many, whose death has been announced, was a teacher of mathematics at the principal Berlin college; but his fame as a chess-player was world-wide. He came off victorious in the world’s chess tournament held at London in 1851, defeating Howard Staunton, who was supposed to be, at that time, the chess champion of the world. In his prime he was unquestionably the peer of any living chess-player except Paul Mur¬ phy, the American prodigy, who de¬ feated him in a match at Paris in De¬ cember, 1858. Subsequently, in 1862, he carried off the highest prize in a second London tournament. Of all the men whom Morphy encountered to con¬ test the palm of superiority, none were so generous in their reception of the boy player as the noble German pro¬ fessor, Mr. Anderssen. While some of the European players were disposed to sneer at the boy’s pretensions, Profes¬ sor Anderssen, from the first, took the proper measure of him, and, by con¬ stant practice and by studying Mor¬ phy’s style of play, prepared to meet him. Staunton, the English champion, evaded him ; Harwitz, the French and champion, badly proud and arrogant, then met him was beaten; Anderssen, the chess champion of the world, con¬ fident of his strength, and yet doubt¬ ing his ability to cope with the young American, boldly met him, and was also defeated. While the match was progressing, one of Anderssen’s friends said to him, .“Why, professor, you don't begin to play your game with Morphy. Wfiat is the reason ?” “The reason is,” calmly answered the professor, “Afor won’t let me. He is a wonderful player. After the match was ended Profes¬ sor Berlin, Anderssen urged Morphy to visit and with tears in his eyes, said : “You must promise me to come to Berlin. My German friends thought I was invincible, and they will not be¬ lieve you can beat me unless they can see you do it.” But they were compelled to believe it, as Morphy was unable to visit Ber¬ lin. Professor Anderssen was born in Breslau, in 1818. The First Ice to Calcutta. It is half a century since Mr. Tudor, thought an enterprising he merchant of Boston, that might make money if he forwarded a cargo of ice to Calcutta. Before that gentleman undertook the venture a little natural ice was ob¬ tained at a place forty miles from the capital of Bengal. Shallow troughs were dug in the ground, pans of porous earthern ware were placed therein, a layer of straw being interposed between the bottom of the pan and the ground, and a little water was poured into each pan. If the wind blew from the northwest during the night the water in the pans would be frozen before the morning. This ice fetched a high price in the market. In 1838 there was no longer any necessity for resorting to this pro¬ cess for getting it, as in that year Mr. Tudor's first ship sailed up the Hooghly with a cargo of ice on board ; the cargo was sold in the market for 3 pence per pound. Since that day the export of ice from Boston has become a regular and most profitable branch of trade. In the warehouses there are as many as 300,000 tons of congealed water stored away at a time. An Eel That Traveled.—G eorge Bryant, train-master at High Bridge, N. J„ and William Hibbler, conductor on the Central Railroad of New Jersey, were fishing from the Newark Bay bridge three years ago. Bryant lost a sinker, and substituted for it a switch key. He then got a “huge bite,” and in drawing in his line dis covered a large eel on his hook ; but before he could land him, the eel broke loose, carrying away the hook and switch-key. Eight months after, an eel was caught by ' Captain Simon Chapman, in an old barge at Chap man’s wharf, on the Thames river, three miles above New London. When the eel was cut open the lost Central Rail road switch-key was found inside. Recently the son of Captain Chapman introduced himself to Mr. Hibbler, happening father to be on the train, and said kis still had the key in his session. Arrangements have been made to have it returned to Mr. Bryant, High Bridge. ' at If there be one industry in the Dominion which can stand on its own bottom without being propped up by a protective duty, it- is the ice trade, If the Canadians cannot compete with the world in making and keeping ice, they can do nothing. The schedule duties which was read by the Finance Minister last week has no entry for ice. Now that this staple is no longer subject to a duty of 17T per cent, as under the former tariff, mint kinds juleps, catawba cobblers, and all cock-tails will be invested with heated patri otic significance during the ° term. SAVANNAH WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26, 1879. BY TELEGRAPH. ALLEGED ELECTION FRAUDS. COLLISION ON THE ELEVATED RAILROAD. A DISASTROUS CONFLA¬ GRATION. New York, March 25.—At noon to¬ day, as the twelve o’clock down train from Harlem on the New York Eleva¬ ted road reached Forty-second street, it came in collision with the upward bound train. Both engines were utter¬ ly wrecked, and one section of the rails was precipitated into the street below. About sixteen persons were more or less injured, "but none fatally. A fire this morning in the marble building Nos. 178 and 180 Pearl street entirely destroyed the stock of Stratton & Storms, manufacturers of tobacco and cigars, who occupied the third, fourth and fifth floors. They employed three hundred hands, mostly girls and wo¬ men. The loss is about $75,000. London, March 25.- -In the House of Lords to-night Lord regard Lansdowne’s the motion of censure in to Zulu war was rejected by a vote of 156 to 61. Washington, March 25.—The Sen¬ ate select committee to inquire into the alleged frauds in the late election, Mr. Wallace, Chairman, will hold a meeting to-morrow to examine, witnesses, in¬ cluding ex-Secretary of the Senate Gorham, on the subject of assessment for political purposes, one of the points embraced in the resolution under which the so-called Teller conmittee, now reorganized with a Democratic ma¬ jority, was appointed. London, March 25.—A limes Paris dispatch says : “The pure and extreme Senators at the meetings on Monday unanimously favored the return of the Chambers to Paris. The Left Centrists by a vote of 38 to 5, took an opposite view, on the ground excited of uneasiness the which would be in country.” Cincinnati, March 25.—A dispatch from Detroit says Robert McClelland, ex-Governor of Michigan and Secretary of the Interior during the administra¬ tion of President Pierce, was stricken with paralysis last evening. His con¬ dition is critical. Lahore, March 25.—General Tytler yesterday defeated three thousand of the enemy near Pesbbolka. The enemy lost two hundred men. The British loss is trifling. The Bengal Lancers made a brilliant charfie. The Make Up of the Body. thereabouts?-1 Supposing your age to be fifteen or have bones can figure Ind muscles you to a dot.

Every Sun Jay moving members have assent. bled at the association rooms and spread a bountiful breaklast, free to all de serving persons who choose to take advantage of their hospitality, and at a meeting of the society on Monday evening it was stated that in all 10,500 persons had been fed in this The cost- of this charity was less than $l,o00, though 40,300 rolls, l^bo pounds pounds of meat, of o40 and pounds 520 ot coffee, 495 sugar quarts ol milk were consumed at the Of this labor of love Bishop Simpson said that when he heard the report of what had been done he thought the loaves must have been multiplied al most miraculously. Royalty—How it Looks. Our excellent cotemporary, the St. Louis Republican, tells an amusing and significant anecdote to this effect: Soon after the accession of Victoria to the throne, a young American sailor hap¬ pened to be in London, and was natur¬ ally very anxious to catch a glimpse of the royal lady. He had never seen a queen, except in picture books, and, drawing his ideas from them, he cied that queens and kings were some¬ thing order of altogether humanity out of the common ; that their personal appearance that was majestic and awe their in¬ spiring; and they always wore carried crowns purple robes and the sceptre, and were, in short, a sort of dim reflection of divine majesty. He was, therefore, highly delighted to learn that on the following Sunday the queen would attend services at St. Paul’s Cathedral. Finally, about 11 o’clock, the thunder of guns announced the de¬ parture from the palace, and soon after a large force of police drove back t he eager crowd, and made room foi ihe procession. A superb military band led the way, followed by a battalion of horse guards, glittering in scarlet and gold, and a half-dozen ponderous and gorgeous coaches, containing the members of the royal household. All this pomp and circumstance confirmed our sailor friend’s picture-book theory, and he opened his eyes and mouth in anticipa¬ tion of the stately personage with crown, scepter and purple robe, who was yet to come. A plain carriage, drawn by four handsome black horses, off brought up the rear. The crow’d took their hats and shouted till the air rang the again. The trumpets sounded, drums beat, the troops presented arms, crimson velveted footman opened the door and flung down the steps, and the sailor stared as if his life depended on it. And he saw—a young lady in a light muslin dress, light silk shawl and a white straw bonnet, trimmed with green ribbon, not half so pretty as his sweetheart at home. This was “Her Majesty, Victoria, by the grace of God, of the United King¬ dom of Great Britain and Ireland, Queen, Defender of the Faith.” He disgusted. went away He disappointed and slighly had seen a Queen, and she was only an ordinary woman, or¬ dinarily dressed. A Mighty Mean Man.—A promi¬ nent, wealthy manufacturing jeweler of Newark one day carelessly dropped his pocket book in a Broad street horse car. The pocket book contained $2,200 in money. The jeweler did not obseive his loss and walked away. A lady in the car noticed the pocket book and called the conductor’s attention to it. The conductor took possession of it and learned who was its owner and what it ™ » r n took ‘» i ? el |-. his He leisure got excused long enough from to duty, go Personally with and return all safe he pocket the hook its contents to owner, What do you suppose he got for his rewai - A Simple thank you , no m ? re - The of the Pocketbook, recovered $2,200, did not even f ' 08es a h,m ™>ney a cent - it .f!*" is to tbat be hoped that ble b f w stl ‘!‘ “ ever R ingratitude et lfc a f and Ibe r oss1 ' ”g‘ ne8s ' has mean- been ? e8s 01 buman nature not y et a ^homed. m m __ ______ Professor Swing, in the course of an article in The Advance, remarks sen tentiously that while no machine has y e t been invented for picking a goose or shearing a sheep, the arrangements f or plucking a poor man are tolerably com pl e te.

The Boston Athenamm, with 108,000 volumes on its shelves, circulates but 33,000 annually, while the Public Library, with a total but 48,000 volumes, circulates 400,000. The first measure of value therefore is the extent to which a library is used. The visible supply of wheat is now about 21,400,000 bushels. Notwith¬ standing the the enormous exports during crop year thus far, the supply at the chief points is over 12,000,000 bush¬ els greater than it was one year ago at this time. Two of the four 100-ton guns bought by the British Government from the Armstrong Company, for $81,000 apiece, are to be sent to Gibraltar, and two to Malta, where they will be mounted behind barbette earth-works, before being shipped to these impor¬ tant positions they will be throughly tested. A young Hungarian noble has been arrested at San Remo, Italy, for house and highway robbery. He offered a large sum of money to his captors for his freedom, but without success. His arrest was on the requisition of the Austrian Government, and his time since his incarceration has been large¬ ly occupied in corresponding with ladies whose regard he had won without a suspicion on their part of his true char¬ acter. Senator David Davis has been giving his views on the political situation. He thinks that the Nationals wilL form a distinct party, but not a dan¬ gerous one; that Grant will be the Republican candidate in 1880, for, al¬ though he is not the choice of the ma¬ jority of the people, he will be regaided by the party managers as the most available man ; he does not have a very high regard for Tilden, either as a per¬ son or as a candidate, but says that the crucial question is whether Thurman can carry Ohio for the Democrats. Hon. Carter Harrison, of Chicago, who has just completed two terms of Congress, that has been nominated Mayor of Harrison city by the Greenbackers. Mr. in the past has not been with¬ out his specie proclivities. He once expressed his financial views thus: “Let the government purchase several tons of gold and silver, melt them in great solid blocks, set them up like monu¬ ments in a public square at Washing¬ ton, surrounded by strong, impregnable iron bars; then let paper money be issued as needed, and if anybody wants to know on what it is based, let them go and take a look at the security in the gold and silver blocks.” In the sixteenth century the supply of silver became at least four times larger than that of gold, and between 1492 and 1848 no less than 1,600,000, 000 of silver were poured into the world, and only 400,000,000 of gold. Nevertheless, the effect of this enor¬ mous excess of silver only lowered the value of that metal relatively to gold from 1: 111 to 1 : 15^. At this rela¬ tive value the two metals stood at the beginning of the present century, al though the annual supply of silver was then three-fold that of gold. Down to that time, at least, silver was the stand¬ ard money and general currency of the world. The pound in every pound European country was originally a of silver. A painter commenced a portrait of a young girl belonging to the best society. For some reasou or other a misunder¬ standing arose between the family of the girl and the artist. The painter having begun the work, took advan¬ tage of the head, which was pretty, and added the body a nymph destitute of drapevy. The picture appeared at the last exhibition, and was seen by the family, accompanied by some friends. “Oh ! mon Dieu !” said lady, on re cognizing the face of the young lady, on a very low necked torso, “Did your daughter sit to the painter in that way?” “You can’t think so,” replied the mother, curtly. “The artist did it entirely from memory.” The banking mismanagment and co llapse in Glasgow, have made Scotch men bang their heads all over the wor ld ) but there is at least one honest man north of the Tweed, and he is a lawyer. Six weeks ago an old gentle maa named Kerr, died leaving a will by which his relatives were cut off wlthoufc a penny, while a fortune of l£»000 ;F boma3 Thow, «. of given Dundee. to hie Although lawyer the close intimacy which _ had U rom ex lstec * between Mr. Kerr and him ^ or many years, Mr. Thow would not ^ ave ^ een surprised at being named in tte tacl no anticipation of so ^ ai '8 e a windfall, and fully expected that relations, and more particular a cousin > AlftX - Anderson, of Long haugb, would have been among the legatees. On learning the nature oi the matler % settlement, the lawyer placed the unreservedly in the hands of two gentlemen, what they and considered asked them fair to and ar range equitable with Mr. Kerr’s terms next l of kin.
