Peterson’s Magazine for Jane is al
ready upon our table. It is a bright
and sparkling number and will be read
with interest by the ladies. Peterson’s
is a treasure in every household.

Tiie Atlanta News underwent a tem
porary suspension last week, but
pleased to find it again in harness last
Sunday, and we hope it will still move
on itß smoothly. Though we
never could see how Atlanta could sup
port three as well conducted papers as
the Herald, News and Constitution, we
would certainly not be without either of
them if wo could help it.
Another fearful storm last Satur
day passed over about the same track
of that which caused so much destruc
tion a month or so since. The damage
seems to lie in Harris, Newton, Henry
and Talbot counties. There was a fear
ful demolition of trees, fences, houses,
stock, and many persons are reported
killed and wounded. It seems that the
people of Middle Georgia are cursed
with tornadoes.
AV VALUABLE PAMPHLET.
We are thankful for a copy of the
proceedings of the Georgia State Agri-.
cultural Society at its meeting in Thorn
asville last February sent us by the wor
thy and efficient Secretary, Mr. Mal
colm Johnson. Everything it contains
i of actual interest to the larmer, and
we doubt if any of the proceedings of
the former meetings since the society
has existed, are equal in value to this.
First is the address of the President,
full of good points. The report of Dr.
Pendleton from the experimental farm
is an express feature worthy of a care
ful examination, embracing as it docs,
extensive information eu anating from
one who has given years to a careful
study of science as related to agriculture.
Then we find the*pleasant poem of Col-
J. A. Stewart —“Lessons for the Times”
—chaste and aprropriate—the address
of Prof. White \ and that of Prof. Le
roy Brown upon the supposed influence
of the moon upon vegetation—and be
sides the address of Dr. W. L. Jones
upon the value of the cotton plant as a
fertilizer, we find a paper of great value
from Mr. Luinsdeu, of Bibb upon hay
making. All these constitute a pam
phlet of much value to our farmers.

Westward Movement of Corn.—
A representative of a St. Louis commis
sion house, recently returned from a
trip into Southern lowa and Northern
Missouri, informs the St. Louis Repub
lican that all through these sections
agents from Nebraska, Kansas, South
west Missouri and New Mexico are ac
tively buying up corn for shipment to
those States, and Territories, and pay
ing high prices on the spot —iu some

. The Texas Frouticr.* 2.”
Corpus Ciiristi, Texas, April 24.
—A letter from Cariso, Texas, says Dr,
Lovell, who <vas murdered by Mexicans
ou the 19th, was surprised six
times. They robbed the Post-office and
attempted to break open the safe of the
Custom House but failed. Dr. Lovell
had many friends, and a feeling of re
taliation for the brutal murder is exhib
ited. .
Couriers from all portions of this fron
tier report large bands of armed .Mexi
cans moving this way. Yesterday a par
ty of fifteen Americans, who were en
deavoring to ascertain the true state of
affairs in the vicinity of Loparra Rancho,
about fifty miles from here, were at
tacked by forty Mexicans ; a short fight
ensued ; one Mexican killed and one
taken prisoner. The Americans lost
none, but being out-numbered, were
compelled to retreat, but immediately
summoned aid from here. About fifty
well armed Americans left here this
evening and as many more will leave to
morrow, to meet these raiders, who have
forced the telegraph operator to leave
Laparva, and have cut the line. On
the 22J the line repairer from this
place started out to repair the line, and
was chased for three miles. They fired
several times at him, but he escaped
into the timber. The Mexican bandits
seem determined to keep all telegraphic
communication with Brownsville cut off.
A deep sense of indignation is felt at
these raids. The people of this portion
of Texas are goaded to desperation, and
they are determined these things
soon cease.
A New Compass.
Anew compass has been invennted
in France by M. Duchemin, the mag
netic force of which he resides, not in
a bar or needle, as in the ordinary in
strument, but iu a fiat steel rmg, mag
netized, with its poles at two opposite
extremities of the same diameter.—
This ring supported upon an aluminary
traverse, pivoted on agate at its centre,
has attached to it the ordinary compass
card, and acts promptly and efficiently.
The author claims for it the following
advantages: (1) A magnetic power,
double that of a needle whose length
and diameter is that of the ring; (2)
two neutral points instead of one, as in
the needle; whence it happens that none
of the magnetism escapes, and that
strong sparks like those from the Holtz
machine do not derange the poles; (3)
a better and more prompt performance
of the compass, the v eard seeming to
float, as it were, iu a liquid ; (4) a
large increase sensitiveness of the in
strument; (5) the ability to regulate
the magnetic intensity of the ring, and
thus to compensate for local causes.—
This is effected by means of a secoud
magnetized steel ring, smaller than, and
inside of the first, the position of which
—and therefore its neutralizing action
—may be easily adjusted. Under the
direction of the Minister of the Marine,
a trial trip of the compass was made on
the steamboat Faon with very satisfac
tory results. M. Duchemin now pro
poses as an improvement, the use of a
set of such rings, forming a spherical
or spheroidal system of still greater
magnetic power.

Cremation on a Grand Scale.
More than four years ago a young
Hindoo prince, ori'y .twenty-two, who
ruled over one of the most extensive
provinces in India, and was a strong al
ly of Great Britain, stopping at one of
the Florence hotels, on his way home
from London to his native country, was
taken sick and died after a short ill
ness. He was attended by a numerous
suite, who, to show 7 their grief for the
loss of their beloved prince, astonished
the Italians by their mysterious Orien
tal funeral ceremonies. On the night
of the Ist of December, 1870, on the
very spot ’where his monument now
stands, they prepared the pile upon
which they performed the rite of burn
ing the dead body of their ruler. They
mixed with large quantities of wood
immense compounds of camphor and
odorous ointments, upon which robed
in his splendid vestments, and surround
ed by his most precious and personal
ornaments, they laid the remains of the
young rajah. The pile was lighted
about midnight, and burned till near
morning. The veneral Brahmin direct
ed the ceremony, and, mingling his
prayers with those of other faithful
servants, made the groves resound with
their lamentations. At break of day
the ashes of the prince were collected
into a golden vase, which now rests in
the sacred temple of bis native India.
In June of 1874 the English Govern
ment erected a splendid monument to
his memory on the spot where his body
was burned.

Killed by a Fisn Bone. —Coroner
Kessler held an inquest yesterday on
the body of John McCormack, who died
of asphyxia, from swallowing a fish bone
while at supper at a friend’s house at
No. 72 Tallman street, Brooklyn, on the
9th inst. McCormack came over to this
city to the residence of his sister, No.
29 Jefferson street, and complained of
a pain in his throat. He went to the
dispensary, but the physician iu charge
was unable to get the bone out. The
deceased, when he attempted to swallow
anything, suffered excruciating pain.—
lie had eaten nothing for some days be
fore his death. By advise of his phy
sician he went to the Roosevelt Hospit
al, where he was taken with a weakness
as soon as be was placed upon a bed.—
Deputy Coroner Marsh made a post
mortem examination, and found death
was due to asphyxia, from the pressure
on the oesophagus, resulting from swal
lowing and lodgement; of a tish bone.
The jury rendered a verdict according
ly.—A r . Y. Herald , 20th.

Tiie Georgia tjeloues.
Lieutenant Calver, of the United
States Signal Service, who has just re
turned to Augusta from an extented and
exhaustive examination of the terrible
cyclones which passed over Georgia on
the 20th of March, and gives an inter
esting account of his explorations to
the papers of that city. He traversed
the track of the northern one from x\p
pling Court House near the Savannah
river, to Harris county and the Chatta
hoochee, where it first entered this State.
Its course from the Chattahoochee to
Hancock county was a little eccentric,
but from thence was perfectly straight.
It would occasionally rise from the earth
and leave an interval of three, five, ten
and twenty miles, when it would again
descend and recommence its work of
demolition. Its velocity was seventy
miles per hour, passing over the entire
State in exactly three hours. The sec
ond, or southern cyclone cf that day,
was developed in the northern part of
Muscogee county, and, traveling in a
straight line due east, through Mill
edgeville, crossed the Oconee and the
Ogeechce, went through Glasscock, Jef
ferson and Richmond counties, as stated
so often at the time. This one was ex
actly like the other, save that it did not
travel quite so fast—its velocity being
sixty miles per hour. Lieut. Calvert
will continue his investigations from the
Savannah river through South CaroFna
to where the toruadoes ran iuto the At
lantic, and afterwards make an elaborate
report to the War Office, which will be
published. In regard to the cyclones
of 1804, he found many traces and
heard many legends, but failed to fur
ther establish their identity thart they
were the same in furce and passed gen
erally over the same territory. — Savann

A Remarkable Hickory.
Thompson’s station, Tennessee, boasts
a phenomenon which is attracting tho
attention of the scientific and alarming
the superstitious. About the first of
lust August a green hickory tree on the
fatrn of one William Harrison was struck
by lightning, and though green began
to burn. The local paper tells all about
it. Mr. Harrison, wishing to save the
wood of the tree, sent a negro to cut it
down. The man went to work, when a
live coal dropped on his coat and he de
voted his attention to extinguishing fire
in the garment. His efforts, tbe darkey
says, were in vain. The coat was held
under water but still burned until every
vestige of the garment was consumed.
Since that episode no one will go within
a hundred y;>rds of the burning tree. —
It is admitted in the neighborhood that
a tree struck by lightning can always be
put out by sweet milk, but they have
not yet resorted to this plan, and the
tree still burns and is expected to con
tinue burning. Such is tho story of
the hickory tree at Thompson’s station,
Tennessee.
A Curious Relic.—Thomas Whyte,
of Petersburg. Ya., has presented to the
Virginia State library a curious and val
uable lithograph. It consists of a saudl
portrait of a venerable negro,under which
is, in fae simile , a note from Lafayette
bearing the date of September 19,
1784, certifying that the bearer had
done essential service as a spy in the
British camp, and exhortiug citizens of
the State to see that he was rewarded.

AJPRLETON’S
AMERICAN CYCLOPAEDIA.
New Revised Edition.
Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on
every subject. Printed from new type
and illustrated with Several Engravings
and Maps.
The work originally published under the
title of The New Amkiucan Cyclopedia
was completed in 1863, since which time the
wide circulation which it has attained in all
parts of the United States, and the signal
developments which have taken place in
every branch of science, literature and art,
have induced the editors and publishers to
submit it to an exact and thorough revision,
and to issue anew edition entitled The
American Cyclopedia.
Within the last ten years the progress of
discovery in every department of knowl
edge has made anew work of reference an
imperative want.
The movement of poluieal affairs has
kept pace with the discoveries of science,
and their fruitful application to the indus
trial and useful arts and the convenience
and refinement of social life. Great wars
and consequently revolutions have occur
red, involving national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil war of our own coun
try, which was at its height when the last
volune of the old work, appeared, has hap
pily been ended, and anew course of com
mercial and industrial activity has been
commenced.
Large accessions to our geographical
knowledge have been made by the indefati
gable explorers of Africa.
The great political revolutions of the last
decade, with the natural result of the lapse
of time, have brougnt into public view a
multitude of new men, whose names are in
every one’s mouth, and of whose lives ev*
cry one is curious to know the particulars.
Great battles have been fought and import
ta**t sieges maintained, of which the details
are as yet preserved only in the newspapers
or in the transient publications of the day,
but which ought now to take theii place in
permanent and authentic history.
In preparing the present edition for the
press, it has accordingly been the aim of
the editors to bring down the information
to the latest possible dates, and to furnish
an accurate account of the most recent dis
coveries in science, of every fresh produc
tion in literature, and of tiie newest inven
tions in the practical arts, as well as to
give a succinct and original record of the
progress of political and historical events.
The work has been begun after long and
ea. eful preliminary labor, and with the
most ample resources for carrying it on to
a successful termination.
None of the original stereotype plates
have been used, but every page has been
printed ou new type, forming iu fact anew
Cyclopaedia, with the same plan and com
pass as its predecessor, but with a far
greater pecuniary expenditure, and with
such improvements m its composition as
have been suggested by longer experience
and enlarged knowledge.
The illustrations which are introduced for
the first time in the present edition have
been added not for the sake of pictorial ef
fect, but to give greater lucidity and force
to the explanations in the text. They em
brace all branches of science ami of natu
rai history, and depict the most famous and
remarkable features of scenery, architect
ure, and art, as well as the various process
es of mechanics and manufactures. Al
though intended for instruction rather than
embellishment, no pains have been spared
to insure their artistic excellence; tLe cost
ol their execution is enormous, and it is
believed they will find a welcome reception
as an admirable feature of the Cyclopaedia,
and worthy of its high character.
This work is sold to Subscribers only,
payable on delivery of each volume. It
will be completed in sixteen large octavo
volumes, each containing about 800 pages,
fully illustrated with several thousand Wood
Engravings, and with numerous coloied Li
thographic Maps,
