cotnOT?. s. c. Thura lay '?oxnins, February 26.1871. Ttl? Macon AgricrtUatfkl Convention. We learn that thia wai a strong assem? blage of the solid agriculturists of Geor? gia, fj Alabama, Texas and South Caro? lina were also represented. Tho dele? gates from this State were J. S. Richard? son. Eaq., of Sumter, T. H. Clarke, Esq., of Kershaw, and Major T. W. Wood? ward, of Fairfield. The delegates met with'a cordial r coop lion. On the occa? sion of the collation givon, Mr. Richard? son responded in behalf of South Caro? lina. To plant moro grain and less cotton, and to sapplaut commercial manures by home-made, as much as pos? sible-these, we learn, were the views that generally prevailed in the Conven? tion. As the planters and farmers pre? sent freely interchanged views and gave their experience to each other, wo have reason to believe that the occasion was productive of good. The desorintinns of the Washington carnival, as given by the specials of tho New York papers, tella a story of "un? surpassed and unobjectionable frivolity." The lowest estimate of tho numbers who thronged Pennsylvania avenue was 50,000, and the decorations of tho build? ings included every stitch of bunting in the district, together with homo-made flags, gay calicoes, Chinese lanterns, ?fcc. There were several mile horse races on the wood pavoment; a goat race, which set ali the little boys and children in an uproar; a foot race, at the end of which the winner fainted and was carried into a drug store, and a general exhibition of teams, from the six-in-hand of Ucl inhold down to the butcher and dog carts. As the corporation ordinance regarding fast driving had been suspended, there was a.pretty lively kicking up of dust. Only that and nothing moro. The President sat on a hotel balcony most of tho day, where ho was serenaded every fifteen minutes by the Marine Band, boosted up on a temporary platform on the adjacent nor nor. At night tho wholo line was one flood of light; calcium lanterns shot their rays from the Capitol down along the line and into the faces of at least a mile of otosely packed people, while the illu? mination of the buildings was fringed with two miles of variegated Chinese Easterns, strung along wires. Addition? al burners on the street lamps added to the general blaze. At the Treasury end of the avenue there was a brilliant dis? play of fire-works. The affair wound np with the first of the three carnival balls, in the new Corcoran Art Gallery build? ing, which was the most handsomely adorned ball room ever seep ia Washing? ton. The floral decorations wound up th? stairways entwinod paintings and statuary, and added a charm to the drapery. The President, Gen. Sherman, two-thirds of the navy in all its glory of glittering uniform, and the Diplomatic Corns attended. If tho French war has resulted in any benefit whatever to the world, it is by increasing the resources of alimentation. Animals heretofore rejected for human food have been demonstrated to bo not only suitable, but actually choice addi? tions to the manu. Succulent dogs, de? licious cats, and tender rodents, aro spoken of by oxperieucod sybarites with a gusto, born of good appetite, in the most enthusiastic terms. Such revolu? tions in gastronomic practice are? of coursa, attended with many curious cir? cumstances, and numberless are, there? fore, the experiences and auecdotos of thoHo inducted into tho new and enlarged diet. We can, thereforo, appreciate the feelings of the kind hearted lady spoken of ir a recent letter from Paris, who, through stress of hunger, gave up her precious little lap-do^ Bijou to ber cook: Bijou was killed; Bijou was cooked; Bijou was eaton. And Bijou's mistress was observed at dinner to pat Bijou's bones aside on her plato mnchanically, and was hoard to remark, with a sigh: "Oh, how my dear little Bijou would have enjoyed these bones!" Tho national debt of Great Britain, according to the last return, comprises 83,703,947,7-10, known as tho funded debt. This amount is composed of $1,978,119,470 consols. Si, 103,511,895 new consols, S530.913.235 reduced con sols, and ?91,313,110 of smaller amounts of stock. Tho unfunded debt amounts to ?33,807,500. and ?13,153,815 is due to tho Bank of Ireluud, and carries three per cent, interest. Tho above statement of the debt also includes ?55,075,500 owing to tho Bauk of England by tho Government. In addition, there are stocks of the colonies guaran teed by tho Imperial Government, as, for instance, the Dominion of Canada loan for $7,500, 000 at fonr por cont., and a Now Zealand loan of ?2,250,000. They have had in Puinesville, Oiiio, what they call a "Greeley sapper. " Ouu ilein was a monument which stood ut tho upper eud of tho dining-room, lt was built of tho complete files of the Weekly Tribune, extending from 1811 to 1871, and consisting of 1,534 numbers, tho Tribune Almanac from 1813 to 1871, nod all the various works which Mr. Greeley has written. Tho whole formed u column twenty by twenty-four inches square and over seven feet in height, and was taste? fully and appropriately trimmed with the national colors and was surmounted by a portrait of Mr. Greeley. Except the last three volumes, tho entire sot of Tribunes wu? owned by L. E. Miller, who has been a regular subscriber since the establishment of that puper. E?BOI8IJA.TIVB raOOBSDINQ?

The onaoting clause of a bill to caucel and retire the hypothecated Blue Ridge Railroad bonds, was strioken out, and a bill to repeal an Act to authorize the grantiug of additional aid to the Blue Ridge Road, was passed to a third read? ing.

LOVB GIFTS.-Love gift* should be of iittlo intrinsic value; they should owe their preciousness to the hand that gives. The token of love shouid not, by its beauty or costliness, distract tho atten mta for one moment from tho meaning ol the gift-heart speaking to heart, io language eloquent though dumb. What aro the objects we have gazed upon, and kissed, mid wept over as priceless trea? sure? A "pultry ring with a po*y," a glovr, a triiu-lovu knot in hair or ribbon, or, as likely us uot, a few faded flowers; but is there oue who has loved who can? not recall to mind the throb of ecstasy, the glow of paradisaical bliss, with which the first love-gift was received? the silent messenger, bringing thc full assurance of love's return? Tho youth who has just obtained n lock of hair, or a simple roso-bud may-be, ftnm his mis? tress' hand, giveu after much pleading, would he part with it for a rose of rubies and gold? Would yonder girl, as ?he sits in her chamber alone, turning on her finger the slight ring that binda her to him who bus won her maideu troth, change it for a circlet of tho costliest diamonds? Not for worlds! [Temple liar. Within a week or two a singular achievement of the telegraph has occur? red. A gentleman suddenly became ill of pneumonia in Wushington City. His physician, a gentleman of grout attain? ments and fame, resided in New York, and he was anxious that this phyMciuu should be cousulted about his ouse. A telegraph wire was, by his direction, taken into his room, ?iud tho New York doctor bciug summoned to thc telegraph office tliere. tho Washington physician attending tho patient informed him of tho state of thc case, nnd even enabled bira to feel his patient's pulse by causing tho wire to vibrate as tho pulse did. The case thus being thoroughly diagnosed in New York, thu necessary proscriptions wero sent thenoc to Washington. The attack, though violent, soon yielded toi tho treatment, ami the patient is now a very cheerful convalescent. This is tho first caso of tho kiud we lmve heard of. It itt quite an interesting feat of tele? graphing. A NEW FASHION.-A sharp correajirrnd ent, who watches New York "society" us a i ('creation, tells us that another noted innovation is tho introduction of cigar? ettes for ladies at a few of the fashiona? ble dinners. Coming wi,th the coffee, sud ou silver salvers lie tho dainty little bunches, and white, jeweled fingers hold tho fragrant Havanas with nonchalant ease. Twenty years ago, only a few married woman ventured to defy con? ventionality; but now the various "isms" and the broad sweep allowed to "reason" form a more lax etiquette; therefore, wonder ceases and surprise is mute. Neuralgia is tho f asl) io nable epidemic, for the cure of which smoking has been recommended; therefore, during the rainy days just passed, graceful rings and floating clouds made the demi jour wax fainter in mauy luxurious boudoirs. So lovely woman is to solace herself, if she wishes to be thought fashionable, by smoking. o . - TDK LAW OP FIIIRTATIOK.-The legal gentlemen have begun to lay down thc "law of flirtation," and if tho opinions of certain judges are to bo taken as con? clusive, tho frolicsome und sentimental young men and women of the day will have to exercise considerable caution. Chief Justice Parker, of Massachusetts, announces the opinion of tho Supreme Court of that State, that an engagement "may be proved by those circumstances which especially accompany such a con? nection," and the Kentucky Court of Appeals has declf?red that the mutuality of an engagement may bo proved against a young lady "by showing that she de? meaned herself as if she concurred in or approved tho young man's promises or offer. It is not necessary that there should be an express promise on either side. " POISONED GLOVES.-We have all heard of food-adulteration and drink-adulte? ration, says tho Now York Tribune, but what does tho reader say to poisoned gloves? The London Daily Meten calls atti nt ion to tho fact that some gloves aro dyed in such way us to bo poisonous to the wearer. The case is given of a lady who, after wearing several pairs, noticed "a vesicular eruption*'at tho sides and roots of tho nails. Investigation showed that tho dye in which tho gloves hud been dipped contained an arsenical suit. It seems to bc perfectly true, whether wo tread or not upon enchanted ground, thut perils and snares beset us round. We know there might bo poison in bread, beer, house-paper, tea, nnd various other things; but who ever thought, now-a-duys at least, of poison in a pair of gloves? - . ?-- - ? - Tho villages of Garches and St. Cloud, tho latter the seat of tho former famous palace, have boen left in nttor min by tho fire of the French and PrtiPsiau guns. There is not a single habitable house standing in cither. When the villagers returned to them, it was with difficulty that they could discover tho spots upon which their homes onco stood. Princu Napoleon's chateau at Menden was de? stroyed ns to the roof and tho interior, but tho facade is still standing. So far as Plon-Plon is concerned, however, it matters little, as ho is not likely ever lo rcquiro it again. A man's wife in Mansfield, Ohio, sends the tavern-keeper tho following card: "Give my husband all he wants to drink, as long as he can stand np and pay for it." DEATH OF HON. JOHN T. MONEO E.-Wa regret to state that this gentleman, known all over the United States aa tho patt tio Mayor of New Orleans, during the late war, died suddenly yesterday. He was a man of sterling integrity, de? voted to the Sontb, and had thousands of ?arm personal friends who will regret to hear of his deconse. Siucc the war, Mr. Monroe has engaged in business in this city as stevedore. It will be remem? bered that he was confined on Ship Is? land for eighteen months by Beaut But? ler, because he would not violate his ob? ligation as Mayor of New Orleans. Uu dor thia same order he was deprived of his property, which ho was never after? wards able to recover. [Savanna7i News, 2It*A. A WINE STOBT.-Tho Hov. Dr. Prime, the venerable editor of the New York Observer, who has been a famous traveler, and has seen some things which fow mortals have beheld, tolls the following strange story, wbioh would seem almost incredible if told by a less reliable man: "I was in a region in Spain where wino is more nbnndiint tim ri water. Wine, good wine, better than is in common nee in America, is sometimes used in great quantities., instead of water, to mix mor? tar with for building. A church was pointed out to me that was built with wine-made mortar, because they hud great quantities on bund for which they bad no sale, und it was cheaper to uso it than to haul water a long WAy to the building site. But there was little in? temperance in that region." A CHARTVAIU AND ITS RESULTS.-On Monday evening a couple were married nour Monroe, Wisconsin. After they had retired, n party, mostly relatives of the bride, lu-SMublcd for a charivari, or tin-pan serenade. Mr. Kelly hearing tho confusion, took nu old unused gun and Riiappod it nt tho crowd. The charge exploded, instantly killing u I young man named Sutten, a brother of the bride, and seriously wounding two others. Kelly gave himself up, claim? ing that he did not know the gun was loaded. A BURGLAR HBp*"x- -A box marked F. C. Cross, Newton Corners, Mass., was kfr/ft ut Wells & Co.'.s express ?nice, Dcu rver, on the 21st, to go East by the Kan? san Pacific train. Suspicions were in some way aroused, mid on examination F. C. Cross himself, a young man who hui resided hero for some time, was found inside. He hud a pistol and tools with him, and the box had a trap door, j A heavy shipment of gold was to go East j by thc same train. Cross was arrested i and placed in jail. Au old farmer named Jenuison, living iu Wapello County, Iowa, recently came into possession of a legacy of 810,000, 000, left him by a relativo in England, which it was uecossnry for him to go after. When he received the news he was hammering on a burn which he was building. Ho paused, scratched his bead, and finally said: "I don't seo how I eau go now; I've got this barn to finish!" . * A CURIOUS LEOAL MODE.-A very cu? rious mode of trying the title to land is practiced in Hindost?n. Two holes are dug in tho disputed spot, in each of which tho plaintiff's and defendant's law? yer put ono of their legs, and remain there until one of them is tired, in which ca60 his client is defoated. In this coun? try it is the client and not the lawyer who puts his foot in it. Phoenix Axe, Hook and Ladder Co.

Feb 12 L?RICK it LOWRANCE. ?n impudent fellow who insulted three young girls in Philadelphia, a few even lugs ago, was attacked by thom, thrown into a snow-bank,- poundod, scratched, bitten, mauled and kicked, and finally rolled over and over in a pool of plush. Meanwhile ho cried lustily for assistance, and a passing physicien came to his re? lief, thinking sotno ono was being mur? dered, but one of the girls explniucd matters, while tho other two continued tho righteous buttle, and he refused to interfere. ' Mrs. Clarissa C. Moody celebrated ber eightieth birth-day at the homflBf her son, in Plainvillo, Indiana, on rue 9th instant, by inviting some of the octoge? narians of the town to take toa with her. It is worthy of note that ono of the" "young men," ?god eighty-four years, was found in a woll deaning it when an invitation was extended to him to bo pre? sent. A shoemaker was fitting a customor with u pair vf boots, when the buyer ob? served that ho ?md 'but one objection to them, which was that the soles were a little too thick- "If that is nil," re? plied the shoermrKer, "put on the boots, and the objections will gradually wear away!" Ono of thc stories told of the Paris siege is, that Baron Rothschild, tiring of rat, vainly ottered $100 for a pheasant. He was forced to take fifty sparrows in? stead, (fora pot-pie,) at $2 each. Au enraged fathoY in Michigan caught his little boy by tho eur, and whirled him around with such force us to wrench that u seful organ from his head. Paris once moro has theatrical amuse? ments, and strangely enough the most popular play just now is called the "Siege of Puris."

Edwin Forrest is sixty-five next month. Few persons acquainted with his style of acting during the past thirty years, would imagino he began his dramatic career at tho tender ago of twelve, in feminine parts at tho old South st?et Theatre, in Philadelphia.

Thc Chinese have some notions that might be advantageously adopted by Christians. The way they celebrate their holidays is one of them. Tho first thing they do is io pay off old debts and i square accounts toa fraction. Money matters having been thus adjusted, thay next make up old quarrels, and shake hands all round. Having thus got square pecuniarily and socially, they eat, drink and aro merry, finally winding up with a sparkling discharge of Chinese fire-crackers.
