The gambling bank at Baden-Baden has been twice broken, within a month, by a Maltese millionaire, as? sisted on the last occasion by two players as lucky as himself. It has been said, with a mixture of truth and paradox, that an English? man is never happy but when he is miserable ; a Scotchmen never at home but when he is abroad ; and an Irishman never nt peace but when he is fighting. An English exchange says : "A specification has recently been filed at the Patent Office for improvements in boiling eggs. This was shortly afterwards followed by a patent for a mrfchine for removing the tops from eggs previous to eating them. We hope next week tp be able to announce that a patent has been secured by somebody's grandmother for sucking the above delicacies." M. Delamarne recently made an ascent in his baloon, from the Cre? morne Gardens, London, with a view to test his* steering apparatus. The latter was found to work exceeding!} well. M. Delamarne proposed tc make another ascent, to return to thc Gardens after his voyage. Should hi accomplish this purpose, the efficiencj of his steering apparatus will be estab lished beyond a doubt.

The cultivation of cotton in Vehetii . and other parts of Italy has beci very successful. Large quantities o seed have lately been purchased iron Louisiana, and it is expected tba next year the cotton harvest will b even more abundant that now.

[Dundee Advertize! A TOAST.-Woman-she reqn no eulogy-she speaks for herself. Hard soap-Cf.st steel, (Castile. ; THE 'CHOPS-WHITE "LABOE.-Our people know? says the Macon Tele? graph, that they can depend alone on their own efforts, and ?they can see plainly that freedmen are but little to be depended upon, and doubtless the bone and sinew of the whites will be " spent to'the greatest extent ?the en- \ smug year. The prospect of much ; higher prices, from the scarcity of the great staple of the country hereafter, ' will stimulate the industrious. "We* expect half of th? .product of the ; next crop will lye the result of white i labor. At the same time we cannot see how even a million, of bales of cotton can be produced. A hurgo number of thc able-bodied uegro men have gone North, or enlisted in the army, and a majority of the freedmen left with us cannot be relied upon. Time will prove our prediction. We state the fact advisedly-the negro will not work steadily unless com? pelled to do so. He has been trained to a compulsory line of conduct, and when left to his own impulses, we cannot expect a favorable result. He is naturally indolent, and the system by which he has been ruled has served to increase that propensity. But by industry, prudence and economy, the white population through its own ex? ertion, and a proper use of such of the freedmen as can be relied upon, the former will be able to realize more for its own support, and profit also, than heretofore. The future is bright with hope to a determined people, and we believe all our predictions will be realized! A DASHING YOUNG WOMAN. -A dash? ing young woman named Nellie Otis, alias Curtis, has been arrested here I for the larceny of $6,400, in money and Government bonds, from a man in New York, on Friday night last. The woman arrived hero on Satur? day, and created considerable excite? ment among the sporting fraternity, exhibiting $3,000 at a time, visiting the races, and paying for 32 bottles of wine and other liquors. She placed $3,200 in the halals of a young man to keep for her, and upon his refusing to return $2,700 of it, she made .complaint at the police station. Thc man was found, and $2,500 re? turned, as was supposed, to the right? ful owner. The man from whom the money was stolen then made his appearance and recovered less than half of the $6,400, but refuses to prosecute the, woman. -Boston Post. Ki.' MET. -All natural means having failed to remove the cholera from Constantinople, thc Sultan of Turkey has come to the conclusion that "eat, drink and bo merry" is about the best course to pursue under the disheart? ening circumstances. He has issued a sort of firman, adapted to the exi? gency, wherein everybody is enjoined to sing, dance and feast, within the limits of tho capital. This is a prac? tical illustration of the tenets of Ma ! hornet's creed-here to-day, gone to I morrow. The deaths per day in the stricken capital of Turkey are re I ported at 1,000. The wails for the i dead and dying are strangely involved j in a glim and grotesque revelry ; and ' in this ghastly life-in-death existence, ? bashaw and odalisque, water-carriers I and enuch, pass their brief hours of festivity, to retire thereafter to the ! quiet of their chamber, where, ejacu? lating, "Kismet!"-it is fate-they envelope their heads in their mantles and give up the ghost. Measuring the summer by the inten? sity of the heat, it has already lasted sonni four or five montas, it has j lingered hot aud dry as Tophet in the lap of autumn, ?.nd promises to lr.st i until about the first of January. Tho most remarkable dronghyflH modem times is now scorching ?ind parching the earth's surface. It has lasted in almost every - section of thc United State's for nearly six weeks, and having assumed a chronic typo about the 21st or 22d of September, the usual equinoctial storms were frightened away. We receive from all sections of the ?mozxthe most dis? tressing account of the effects of the drought, in destroying vegetation, drying up water courses and prevent? ing agricrjtnral operations. There are, we learn, in the Counties around Richmond, many farms upon which every stream has been dried np, and cattle have to be driven miles for water." IMPORTANT TO MINISTERS.-Minis? ters of the Gospel are required by law to affix a five cent revenue stamp to each certificate of marriage they may return to the clerk's office. This I is necessary before it can be admitted j to record. We would also state in this connection, that a failure to affix the proper stamps to any ?instrument of writing requiring the same, sub? jects the party executing such instru- ? ment to a penalty of $200. A ?^TBOT-BATKKOTICJIS.-The Boston Post gives Charles Sumner the follow? ing first-rate notice: Mr. Sumner's pompous assumption of the office of dictatorio the Ame? rican Government and people, cannot fail to create derision' and dsgust among .sensible folk. His inflated Style and elaborate pronunciamentoes shame Santa Anna's proclamations to the; Mexicans, while his swell and strut are as absurd as the attempt of the monte black-leg to rule a nation by fulminations from his West India Island. Sumner has abundance of gas at his command, but not the kind to raise him to the attitude of com? mon sense or political truth. He was spo?ed in the shell, and all his states? manship is addled. He manifests no conception of the true greatness of a country-of its vast products-its mechanical ingenuity and enterprise. Instead of regarding the Erie Canal as an artery of the nation's life, he would have it filled up if told- that negro children were hable to be drowned in its waters; instead of con? templating the great power of trans? portation afforded by our gigantic railroads and their influence in bind? ing the country together, he would endeavor to provide seats for negroes in the cars, or in looking after tho dikes, storks and vermin of Holland, or soaring toward those regionB of his fancy, rise far above this bread and butter world into the realms of beati? fied spirits where John Brown is marching on. MAJRRIAGL IN NORTH CAROLINA. Tlie Raleigh Standard, of 20th ultimo, says : We have heard various complaints from different portions of the State, in objection to o supposed regulation, to the fact that ladies were required to take the oath Vbfore they were permitted to marry. Such was at one time the military order, but we are happy to say that civil law is so far restored that this hard and incon? venient regulation has been abolished; and now, any and every lady in North Carolina is free to marry when and whom she pleases without taking the oath of allegiance, except to her spouse, which wo hope to see duly administered. By a winding vessel arrivfid at New London from the Arctic Ocean, the Journal of Commerce has advices from Captain C. H. Hall, the explorer, who left the United States in 1864, under tho patnmage of Henry Grin-" nell, Esq., of Now York. Mr. Hall's letters were exp-essed 150 miles over the ice by dog-sictlges, to reach thc open sea. He writes in good spirits, having obtained much valuable in? formation in regard to the Franklin expedition. Lady L. Duncan was an heiress, and Sh- W. Duncan was her physician during a severe illness. One day she told him she had made up her mind to marry, and upon his asking the name of the fortunate chosen one, sjie bade him go home and open his Bible, giving him chapter and verse1, and he would find out. He did so, and read what Nathan said unto David, "Thou art the man!" A frequenter of our sanctum says he has grown HO desperate that he will have money if he lias to work for it.

In accepting the nomination, it is proper that I should announce my views upon two im? portant subjects in relation to aseries that have appeared in your paper, viz: "repu? diation" and thc "stay law." The former, in my opinion, would ho disgraceful to a people, dishonorable hi s State and an un? worthy idea to be entertained hy a South Carolinian.
