Address RIORDAN, DAWSON ? co., ..' No. 149 East Bay, Charleston, S. C. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1872. XE?TS OE THE DAT. -Gold closed yesterday at lOJalOj. -IQ New York colton closed quiet at 23 cents for uplands, with sales of 8091 bales. -The Liverpool cotton market closed flat; uplands lljallld., Orleans lUallid.: sales j 10,000 bales. -Rlstorl, the celebrated tragedy actress, who created such a furore in this country, a few years ago, received tome injuries ina rallw?r .accident, near Perugia, Italy, on Monday night. It is supposed ibatshewas not badly hurt, however. -Mrs. .Fair, the. Calfornla murderess, has been granted a - new trial by ihe Su premeXJourt of-that State, on the ground that I the'-court erred in not allowing counsel for the 1 defencethe closing argument, and In permit? ting evidence to be taken of her former bad character lor chastity. -Jhe Philadelphia- papers report the pro? ceedings of the senatorial invesilgatlnjf com? mittee appointed to inquire into the eal0 ol "bO$fu diplomas." From, the evidence pro? duced it appears that business has been car ried to a great extenr, and among others who have been duped by the advertisements and Inducements are several in the "old coun? try;'" who were doubtless anxious to get 13. A. andu. Av br L. L. D. with as little trouble as possible.' V, .-Theangir crop of Louisiana ls nearly all out, .grinding belog about done; and never was a mor? unsatisfactory condition of ihe f cane business known in consideration of th*, excellent prospects at one time shown, when one, hundred and forty-five thousand hogs? headswere reported as the probable pros? pective crop. The cane wa3 abundant,, but it would make neither sugar nor molasses. It ls now thought one hundred. and forty thou? sand to one hundred and fifty .thousand hogs? heads-' will bathe probable yield. -It ls said that washerwomen in Washing? ton are In the habit of persuading the unsus? picious customer that lt requires from'six tb ten days to properly wash and Iron his clothes. The work ls usually accomplished on the Ant or second day, and then the lady of the wash? tub hires ont io others euch garments as they may seiec: for a day's or night's wearing. This system of hiring ls said to be carried on "?"?y?njashrewd washerwoman can earn from five to six dollars a week extra In tills way. -According to a note in the Journal Officiel, the courts-martial which have been trying the Communist prisoners have now ?Hale with eighteen thousand five hundred aa i fifty-one ol the accused, including thc3J set ac liberty witaout Jrla1. The Temps po in: 3 out that jthere are still from twelve lo fourteen thou? sand In confinement, and it regrets ihut the j continuance of the struggle on the financial j question has hitherto prevented tho As-embly irom. deciding upon the proposal which has been brought forward that every person who held1 no rank during the Insurrection, and who is not charged with any crime, should at once be amnestied. -A woman preacher bas created a great j sensation In Ihe Brooklyn Presbytery. Sae is j a member of the Society of Friends, ls a mafd?n. lady, and her name is Sarah F. Smiley, a native or Philadelphia, aged about thirty years. She started out as a preacher about foua-yearg ago, nnder.the auspices ol the Soci? ety of Friends. In 1809 she visited Great Brlhria- -and - held meetings in the Orkney Islands and in Scotland, where' she preached In the Presbyterian, Methodist and Baptist Churches. In Brooklyn she has appeared in Dr.Cuyler's, Presbyterian; Dr. Buddington's, Congregational:Mr. Meredith's,Meth jdist; and Mr. Pentecost's, Methodist, Churches. Her ap? pearance has excited home doubts among the Presbyterians as to the propriety ot permit? ting a Woman to teach In their pulpits, and hence the excitement in the Brooklyn Presby? tery. -The order in which the muscU-s, lose their power ls worth knowing. The muscles which\ move the arms and legs usually become re . laxed before those which maintain the body in an erect position. In relation to the social senses;that of sight ls first lost-the eyelids j forming a barrier between the retina and ex? ternal world; but Independently of eyelids, If j they, had been removed by the surgeon, cou'd not be closed by disease, (his ls still the first sense whose function is abolished. Some anima's, as the hare, do not Bhut their eyes i when asleep; and In case of somnambulism, the eye3 remain opec, although the sen. , ol' sight ls temporarily abolished, but their acuteness is much lessened. Tos e is the first to disappear, and then smell; hearing follows, aud touch is the most persistent of the senses. So, conversely, a person ls most easily awak? ened by the sense ol touch; next In order by sound, and then by smell. -Mr. Charles Reade is in hot water again. It seems that the "kleptomaniacs" are after him once more, and fierce ls his wrath thereat. The chief offender this time ls "George Eliot" Inhere qw serial. As becomes a gentleman when dealing with a lady Mr. Beade does not say the lair novelist "steals," or even that she "conveys" bis ideas; he asserts, with Barcas, tlc moderation, thut she "borrow?" them. This exposition is piloted lu Oncea Week, and on a first and hasty examination Mr. Beade's case looks very strong. So many points of similarity are cited, thPt is to say, that lt ls hard lo believe them altogether ac? cidental. But on the other hand, the alle? gation is so Intrinsically Improbable that we could only assent to lt on overwhelming evi? dence. "George Eliot," in the literary and creative sense, ls rar more fit to be a lender ] than a borrower, and lt is aim.** incon? ceivable that a person of her strong brain should be guilty of the offence attributed to her. -Prime Min ster Iwakura and his Japanese companions arrived at San Francisco about one day earlier than was anticipated, and the formal reception was consequently performed Ina hasty and unsalisfattoiy manner. The; hospitality subsequently offered, however, has been amply lavish to atone for that con tre? te mp?, and the Asiatic visitors are evidently having a most Jolly time. The greatest curi? osity prevails among the San Franciscan ladies and gentlemen to become acquainted with the members of the embassy, especially the females thereof. These-number Ave, being daughters o? high officials, and genuine l'i In? censes. What ls more to. the purpose, they are represented os possessing remarkable beauty and intelligence; and one reporter has been rendered so ecstatic that be maln>ains that their loveliness ls absolutely unrivalled. They dress In a gorgeous yet tasteful manner, affecting parti-colored silks. The belle of the beautiful bevy has dark and., languish? ing eyes, which, we are startled .ito learn,' "have within them all the light and depth which one may see in an autumnal sunset." The faces of the ladies are "not oval, nor yet are they long." Ravishing smiles dwell per? ennially on their lips, their complexions are. faultless, while their minds seem to be as superfine as their perso ns, and their intelli? gence is covertly estimated ai fir excelling that of the average belle Am?ricaine. When these antipodal maidens reach Vassar, it is not unreasonable to suppose they will be re? ceived with awe and admiration, not unmixed with jealousy. So that before long the mas? culine youth who pay their surreptitious visits, at properly regulated intervals, to certain fair "cousins" at that excellent Institution, will be apt to desert thc customary Angelina for the more attractive almond-eyed damsels: and only a few months will intervene before we shall have countless poignant poems and ve? hement valedictories emitted from Celestial lips, with an accompaniment of sadly-sweet smiles In the nature of autumnal sunsets. The Connecticut Democrats? The State Convention of the Connecticut Democracy, which met at New Haven on Tuesday, very clearly feres* idowed the position which the Democratic party of the country will occupy in the approaching Presidential Campaign. The Convention adopted as the main elements of its plat? form in regard to national aflairs the same doctrines recently pat forth by the Liberal Republicans of Missouri, adding thereto a strong resolution in favor of the indepen? dence of Cuba, and others relatlong exclu? sively to the local affairs of the State! From this it ia plain that the Democracy of Connecticut intend to make a vigorous effort, so far as fundamental principles are involved, to take the State out of the bonds of the Grant Republicans at the April election. In furtherance of this pur? pose, they have pat in nomination a strong ticket. . Toe Hon. Richard D. Hubbard, the candidate for Governor, is the foremost lawyer of the State. He is a War Demo? crat, having taken an active part on the Bide of the Union daring the rebellion ; ls a Progressive Democrat, and a gentlemen of the highest'character for honor and integ? rity. The field will no doubt be strenu? ously contested; and if the anti-Grant Re? publicans of the State do their duty, the close of Governor Jewell's official career is at hand. In his opening speech, Mr. Barr, Presi? dent of the Convention, advocated a union of all parties in opposition to Grant, and referred to the possibility of Mr. Trumbull being the anti-Grant candid tte for the Presi? dency in eloquent terms. These sentiments were greeted by the Convention with tho honrtlMt applause. Ix consequence of the retirement of Colo? nel G. F.

Orr as the Republican ?andldate for Vice-President of the Unitfjd abates._ New Booka. Per ULAR LIFE OF GENERAL ROBERT EDWARD LEE. By Jfimlly V. Mason. Dedicated, by per? mission, to Mrs. Lee. Illustrated by Seven? teen Original Designs. Baltimore: John Murphy & Co., No. 182 Baltimore street, 1872. This life of General Lee cannot be accepted as a standard work; but it ls cordially and pleasantly written, and throws a flood of light upon the personal character ot the great Southern Soldier. Miss Mason traces ihe genealogy of the Lees of Virginia, describes their Tamlly seat, briefly sketches the career of the immediate ancestors of General R. E. Lee, and gives a highly interesting account of his school life, his success at West Point, and his brilliant services in Mexico. The story of lils mighty deeds in the Confederate War is chiefly taken from the works of Major Cooke, Mr. McCabe and Mr. Swinton, but Miss Mason has been abie lo lend new zest to the narra? tive by introducing anecdotes and extracts from private letters, lew of which had pre? viously been published. Ia describing Gen? eral Lee's early days, and his conscientious and able discharge of his arduous duties at Lexington, Miss Mason ls especially happy. The volume ls well printed, but the illustra? tions are caricatures. We may add .that the book is published for the benefit of the Lee Memorial Association, of Richmond, Ya., which tact, apart fi om its own attractiveness, must commend it to the Soutbern public. BLADE-O'-GRASS. By B. L. Farjeon, Author of Joshua Marvell. New York : Harper & Brothers, 1872. Charleston: Holmea's Book House. Tui? touching story teaches by the example of the twin sisters-Ruth aod Blade-O'-GraBi that education, (or the lack of 1' association and example determine whether the forlorn child of the streets shall become a social pariah or a pure and useful member of society. Besides this, lt shows the temptations of the starving outcasts, whom we are all too ready to condemn, and administers a severe rebuke to them who heedlessly denounce what is called "indiscriminate charity." It exposes the canker at the root of modern civilization, and preaches eloquently upon the one great text, Man help the poor. And, as a mere novel, lt ls lull of grace and power. The blending of humor, sound sense and deep feeling In the description of the early days ot the piteous heroine, the eccentricilies of Jim? my Virtue, the loving weaknesses ot "Noth? ing Particular," and the practical philanthro? pic of the Silvers, with the vivid pictures ol the London by-ways-these make tip a book Which is absolutely free from cant, and is healthful and humanizing, while of great in? trinsic Interest. It ls handsomely Illustrated. Pp. 68. Price 35 cents. THE: AMERICAN BARO.V. A Novel. By James D. Mllle, Author ol' the Dodge Club, ?fcc. With Illustration*. New Yoik: Harper ?fc Brothers, 1872. Chailestoo: Uolmes's Book House. If Mr. DeMille only intended lo write u live- j ly, mirth-pruvoking novel, he ha? succeeded admirably; In "The American Baron''there ls plenty .-of absurdity, but lt ls brim-full of \ hearty muscular fun. Any serions criticism offthe characters; or of-the plot, would be ont of^Iace.1 We wish, however, that Mr. DeMllle would, tor once, draw an American who ls flt for civilized society. It is a vulgar prejudice, no doubt, to lasist that valor and worth only shine the brighter when the happy possessor ls intelligent and refined, and keeps his hands olean. But we think that Mr. DeMllle might avoid making his pet characters-his repre? sentative Americans-a cross between a Pala? din and a Yankee Peddler, i ; Pp. 132. Price $L MOHAMMED AU AND HIS HOUSE. An Historical Romance. Bv L: M?htbach. With Illustra? tions. New York: D. Appleton & Co., 1872. Charleston: Holmes's Book House. Miss M?hlbach, in changing the scene of j one of her innumerable historical novels to the neighborhood of the Pyramids,, obtains j more freedom of action for herself, and, be? fore the Urse chapter is read, enlists In behalf j of her book all that Interest which, in spite of J Opera Bouffe at. Alexandria and American cotton-gins in the delta of the Nile, is still awakened by the name of the dim (and dirty) Orient. The romantic career of Mohammed Ali; "the first free Tlceroy of Egypt," ls a fine subject, and the reader who is fond of variety of Incident and picturesqueness of descrip? tion, coupled with enough historical truth to give aa air of reality lo the whole, Is not likely to find his attention flag until the last page of the book ls turned. Pp. 229. Paper $1; Cloth $1 SO. PATTY. A Novel. By Katherine MacQuoid, Author of Bookstone. New York: Harper & Brothers, 1672. Charleston: Holmes's Book House. More elaboration and a clearer drawing of | the characters would vastly improve Miss j MacQuoid'd latest work, but. as lt stands, it is very charming-one, Indeed, of the pleasant? est novels of the season. The characters are not altogether original. As, however, the book is wholesome in tone, and effective in treatment, Patty, as a pretty story well told, is sure to be widely popular. Pp. 188. Price 50 cents. Two PLUNGES FOR A PEABL. A Novel. By Mortimer Collins, Author of Marquis and Merchant. New York: D. Appleton & Co., 1872. Charleston: Holmes's Book House. And English critic has kindly said that the verse of Mr. Collins is better than his prose. We admit that lt could hardly be worse, If j "Two Plunges for a Pearl" is to be taken as a fair specimen of the author's pe wer;. It is a bald and tawdry story, stuck full of dreary quotations, and having the sole recommenda? tion that all the dramatis personae, whose fate is known, become everlastingly happy. In style, lt ls stilted and corrupt. Where does an author expect to go to who allows his hero to "pervagate" his park, and who speaks of a short coat as a "succinct Jerkin." Pp. 122. Price 75 cents. iHnnicipal Notices.
