This entertainment which had been anticipated with pleasure l?y those of our fun-loving citizens, and which .vns ol such intense interest, and d?*ep concern to tho^e who were engaged in it. in order that its rendition might he creditable, camc off in the Court I louse on last Friday ninht, and we have hoard but a single expression of opinion, and that of the most complimentary kind. The programme was a varied one, and arranged with exouisito taste, there w;is nolhim: said or none to otrend anv one, and the performtnec was singularly free from those exhausting delays usual on such occasions. Tho entertainment opened with a Fan Drill hv a company of Young Ladies, after which came Music, followed by n comedy entitled Tho Loan of a Lover, With tho following caste of characters: Peter Spyk Mr. W. S. t'othran. ('apt. A mors fort Mr. \V. C. MeGowan. Swvzel Mr. II. T. Wardlaw. Delve Mr. L. W.Parker. Matnzelle Ernestine...Miss Kllen Parker. Gertrude Miss Clelia Mathewes. Alter this came an amusing Farce called Tci on Parle Francais, In which the characters were represented by the following ladies and gentlemen: Mai. Regulus Kattan Mr. A. W. Smith. Victor Dubois Mr. \V. ('. Henet. I Spriggins Mr. M. L. Bonham, Jr. Mrs. Spriggins Miss Bessie Norwood. Angelina Miss Sarah Perrin. Mrs. Regulus Rattan...Miss Kittie Perrin. Anna Maria Mrs. W. C. Benet. The closing scene was a Drill in the Bayonet Kxercise by a company of young ladies, under the command of (.'apt. M. D. Bonham, Jr. The Fan Drill was especially pretty, a charming bevy of beautiful young ladies attired in the costume of Queen Anne, went through different manoeuvres wilh the Fan, with skill and grace, and shewed tho many expressive phases that a "" Fan, in the hand of a pretty lady, can assume, and which we liavo oft?n seen them use to such ad vantage. When the colored lights were thrown on them, the effect was grand, and we do not remember to have seen a prettier sight. The comedy of a Loan of a Lover was a sprightly little charade, and one which gave general satisfaction, with no disparagement to the others, we think the character of Peter Spvk was particularly well rendered, and Gertrude won innumerable compliments bv her splendid acting and ease, grace and high degree of excellence on the stage. The Farco "Id on Parle Francais," was highly enjoyed and gave much mcrriment to the audience. Tho actors enter ln? very much into the spirit ni me piay, nnd manifesting an admirable conception of the humors of the piece, while displayins acting of a high order. The Drill in the Bayonet Exercise, was pone through with grcnt precision and accuracy hv the young ladies, and it was proved that some of them could use the ppear as dexterously as others had done the Fan. To those who had the management of the entertainment much credit is due for the admirable manner in which it was rendered and the success which crowned the performance. Wo are sure that we nil return thanks for an evening of genuine pleasure, and are glad to know that such tangible success was accorded them in their laudable endeavor and patriotic purpose of rehabilitating, resurrecting and renewing the Confederate Monument at Columbia. A Murderous Assault on Dr. II. G. Kltigh, of Greenwood. About three o'clock on Tuesday morning of last week Mr. Babe Norman called at. Dr. H. G. Klugh's house to a*k him toj go to see a sick relative. As he passed' the Doctor's sin lionise he saw a two horse wagon standing in the road opposite his ! gin house with eottr.n in it. Thlstactj Mr. Norman made known to the Doctor at his house. By the time the Doctor! was mounted the wagon was gone, and they rode on after it, overtaking it at a littie creek, on the road toward the Dead j Fall. Tho driver was questioned and the , wagon was examined. The driver was a 1 colored man, who gave his name as Sam. 1 ?-* ? ?i i u? ?MIU!lNi>II, ill HI ?<UU illUi.

Afterl seeing the patient the Doctor asked Mr. j Norman to go with him to further inves-1 tigate tho facts about tlie wagon and cot-1 ton. Going to the door of the house they hArd the wagon going toward Grceii-1 wood, which is directly opposite from go-i ing towards Ookesliurv. The Doctor hurried on, and told Mr. Norman to fol- I low, whicb ho soon did. The Doctor J overtook the wagon, and before Mr. Nor- J man could get there, he heard a lick, i which was followed by a hallo from thci Doctor. By the time Mr. Norman arrived the; wagon was (rone, and the Doctor lying on I the road. Mr. Norman, after examining; the Doctor thought him to be dead, mid' Immediately hurried off for Mr. Joseph Simmon*, tlie nearers neighbor. Return-' in;; as soon as possible, they found him Htanding, but in an insensible condition, with a severe bruise on his head. The Doctor whs carried to Mr. Simmons j where he remained until Thursday, before lie was able to be carried home. The Doctor's condition at last accounts was) favorable.and ho will no doubt recover; from his serious injuries. The wagon was tracked through or near ! Greenwood, back to Morris Roman's house, near Cokesbury, where the cotton was found. Roman's alleged that he bought tho cotton from Dave Roberts, i Dive Roberts is now charged with the theft and tho assault. Doctor Klugh is a good citizen. who| deserves tue sympathy of his neighbors | in his misfortune, lie is about sixty, yoars of age. Sale of .Magazines and Newspapers.!

After the marriage the invited guests repaired to the residence of Mr. James A. Shillito, on New Orleans Street, whero a pleasant evening was spent and where the guests partook of a most excellent supper. Mr. Hill is one of the most prosperous and energetic young men of our town, and, with his bride h assistance, he will aspire to still higher Rnd greater attainments. He is one of the co-partners in the firm of A. M. Hill it Sons, who own some of the best property in town, which is tho reward of their energy, their business tact, and their ability to acquire and to hold. We congratulate tho newly married couple on their union of hearts nnd hands, and welcome Mrs. Ilill to our town as a permanent resident, where wo hope that she may live for many yer.rs yet to come, and never be any less happy than she is at present. The New Board of County Commissioners. The new Board of County Commissioners have entered upon the ciuties of their oflice. Their first act was an etnoiirrassing one to at least some of the members. There were two candidates for the clerkship: Mr. Thoa. P. Cothran, the clerk of the old board, and Mr. J. C. Klugh. Mr. Bullock voted for Mr. Klugh, Mr. Cowan for Mr. Cothran. The deciding vote was then to be made by Mr. Mattison. Mr. Mattison in order to avoid taking the responsibility determined to "draw" for a clerk in this way : the names of. Messrs. Cothran and Klugh were written on separate sheets of paper, and put in a hat, and the man whose name happened to be on the paper so chosen should receive his vote. Ho drew a Klugh ticket, and Mr. Klugh was elected. Mr. Klugh is a young lawyer, and we have no doubt will make a good clerk.

A number of cxpei iments have been made In this country to test the value of different' | material* lor doors thut may be exposed to I rite, from which It appears that perhaps the! best door yet devised is one made of wood and ; covered with tin. The door is lormed of solid planks, or boards matched and fastened to- i gether and crossing tit a right angle, or at forty-five degrees. There should not be less than two thicknesses in any door, and as many more should be used as the size of the opening to be closed demands. This solid wooden door is then to be completely covered on every side with tinned sheet-iron, all the Joints bein^soldeted as in making tin roofs.

At the door-Jamb opposite the door, j when It is open, should he a wooden casing covered on every side with tin, and into which | the door will tit tightly when it closes, by moving on its track, the inside of the casing being wedge shaped.

[Augusta Chronicle and OrmstitiUionalisl.] It Is said iliat, In Germany, dyspepsia, which appears to Le the most prevalent disease of modern life, is cured by a grape diet. We do not >;o as lavas some physicists, lilse I)r. Oswald, in attributing most huimm liodlly tronbies to a meat diet, bul are llrnily impressed Willi tlie idea that there is much to be sniil in favor ol' the curative processor fruit. On this line, we have* seen not bins recently so adiuiriib'y slated as :i eommunleation in the f'UnrJournal from the pen of Mr. II. M. Irwin. This jrenrieinpn, who writes with sense ami art, takes iheea*esof Carlyieand the average school hoy. as two extremes of stiflcring, and thus cornruents: What an ungel of moral strength and goodness < arivle wotiM have been if he had not been a dyspeptic!

The angry words will tlv, ami tho swift blow will desec-xi almost before he is aware of it. Ami then after he has been punished the teachers will exclaim. What a terribly vicious boy Is; that is the'.bird thrashing he has had this term." l'oor lad?if half ttie blows which fall upon his tender back, were dealt out to those who provide his food, the result might be less disastrous. Mis nerves are sill unstrung because he is sutlerlng from "the remorse of a guilty stomach," imposed upon him by somebody else. A child's craving for fruit Is as natural an instinct, as our struggle for air when we are sunhcaliug. We have no sort of doubt that t here is a deal of truth in all this.and that the wisest expenditure parents can make is for fruit, wholesome and seasonable, put within reach ol the little ones, where they can satisfy their craving and appea?e their stomachs. Mr. Irwin quotes sonic quaint verses from I)r. Ticknor, who was wont to trace the miserably lean, lank and uncanny condition of too many Southern farmers to a lack of fruit consumption. The underlying maxim of his humorous poetry on such themes was that fruit is a human necessity; when withheld the system becomes diseased, and craves relief in stimulants and opiates?thence drunkards and opium eaters. This Is not strange reasoning or far-fetched. II Is not the quint hobby of an eccentric man who wrote poetry. It Is simply enunciating in an odd fashion what a writer in the London Truth has put into cold prose, thus; "By acquiring a taste for the nuaduUerafercd juice o. the grape, the appetite for alcohol can be entirely overcome. The Juice of all fruit, indeed, has this effect, and philanthropists would iio more goon ny sceKing 10 pruvmu cheap fruit for the people, and encouraging them lo eat it. than by any other means. If the massescould be persuaded to cat Irn11 desserts after their meals (and oranges, the best, of all fruits for the purpose, are cheap enough nearly all the year round>, drunkenness would cease to be the reproach of Britaflj as a nation." Making a practical application of these suggestions, Mr. Irwin contends that the planting of orchards is as much a duty as the building of school houses and colleges, and he insists, pertinaciously, that children who have nil abundance of fruit the year round will never acquire, unless deliberately intent npi>n evil, a tnirst for alcoholic or malt liquors. Advishig the pulpit orators to consider well these things, and take for a text thai "The tree of the field is man's life," he thus concludes: "In (he Biblical history of the first human pair we learn that the fruit of trees is ihe only natural hitman food. Profane history teacher us the same treat lesson in lis account of tlie blissful Golden Age. Modern chemistry and physiology repeat the wondrous tale bv disclosing to us the fact that nuts contain more nutrition than any other food; and acidulous fruits arc the realization of the fabled fountain of health.'filiing our mouths with good things, so that our youth is renewed like the eapleV.'" Perhaps if our temperance reformers and physiologist* were to adi.pt some such theory us this and carry it out practically they would ilo much to make their mission acceptable mid successful. At any rate, we take pleasure In giving circulation to these Ideas and do not hesitate to express the belief that they have within them a large element of most substantial fact. The Augusta and Knoxvillp. [AuffH.ita Chronicle and Ojn.it The Chronicle has always predicted that Ihe Augusta and Knoxville Itailroad would !>e of great benefit to Augusta when completed, and although that completion is of very recent date, the prediction is already Justilled. l-'or several months we have been receiving . otton :uui ollior produce that have hitherto jone in other directions and would have to toso hut for tliis road.

It has built up and is building thriving villages which will obtain all their ;ooJs in this city. It has widened the usefulness and thelntlucnce of the place ami will lo more in the future. The road is an Augusta enterprise. It ows Ms being to Augusta lias a rinhtt (o be proud of it as u home institution. So larit lias done remarkably well. Us president, Mr. Kuginc F.

Better to live 111 the nildstl af disorder than that order t-hou.d be pur-i L-nased at so high a price?the co"-. of health,: strength, happiness, all that makes existence' endurable. The woman that, spends her life in unnecessary labor Is. bv this very labor, unfitted for ine uigiivi uune\ r>ui; mmhiiu lie h unveil w rest ti> tlic home to which hot h husband and children turn for peace and refreshnient. She should he the careful. Intelligent adviser and Stiide of the one, the tender, confident ami helpmate of the other. How Ik it possible for a. woman exhausted In body, as a natural consequence lu mind also, to perform either of these offices ? No. it Is not possible. The constant strun is too great. Nature elves sway to it. She losses health and spirits and hopefulness, and more than all. her youth, the last tiling a woman should allow to slip from her; for, no matter how old she Is in years, she should be .voung in heart and feeling, for the youth or age Is sometimes more attractive than youth itself. To the overworked woman this green old age Is out of the question: old age comes on her, ?ere and yellow, before Its time. Her disposition is ruined, her temper Is soured, her very nature is changed by the burden which, too heavy to carry, is dragged about ns long as wearied feet and tired hands can do their part. Kven her aftections arc blunted, and she becomes merely a machine?a Woman without tiic time to be womanly, a mother without the time to train and guide her children as only a mother can, a wife without the time to sympathize with and cheer her husband, a woman so overworked during the day that when night comes her sole thought and most intense longing is for the rest and sleep that verv nrobablv will not come: hut even If it Should, that she is too tired to enjoy. Better by far let everything co unfinished, to live as best she can, than to entail ou herself and family the curse of overwork. Mr. II. P.
