Coi/ of. 'Fntn^':;C?Tinty;''Qa.i furnishes
the following remarkable genealogy,
Mr. C. iej pearly or quito ninety-five
y?nrs ot age, very erect and in good
health, with a mind vigorous and strong,
still making a working member of the
community. Here is what ho says:
. My uncle, Rev. Ourey Cox, a Baptist
minister ol tho "Old School," as he
claims, is now living in Putnam County,
Ga. He waa ninety-two years old Octo?
ber 1, 1870; his wifo died during the
war, at tho ago of eighty years; thoy
have bad sixteen children, 112 grand?
children, 152 groat grand-children, and
Iforty-soven groat great grand-children;
! the whole number, including uncles and
aunts, is 320, bosido sons-in-law and
i daughters-in-law, grnud-sons and daugh
I tors, und great graud-sons and daugh
j ters-in-law. Sixty of his family wero in
tho Confederate service. Ho is not a
learned man, yet he hus a good stock of
common SCUBC; always made a good
living, was honest nod upright in all his
dealings. Ho never was heard to uso pro?
fane or obscene language, and never was
intoxicated. My oldest undo died in
h?B eighty-fourth year; next oldest in his
ninety-third; an aunt in her ninetieth.
My father, although a portion of Iiis life
intemperate, lived to be nearly eighty
eight years old. The great secret ol
long life is doubtless iu industry, tem?
perance and morality, together with all
the 'other graces taught in the word oi
God.
A second case nf martyrdom reported
iu tho pupers is tluit of a citizen nf Mon?
treal, who, having re used to tell the
COUSUS cnunierator tho ages of his un?
married daughters, lina been fined six
dollars aud costs, with the alternativo of
going to jail fur thirty days. Tho girls
advise the father to go to jail like a noble
parent.
A Radical journal says: "Gen. lintier
would take uo appointment from the
present administr?t ion, even if offered
him on the point of a silver foik." An?
other says lin might not take tho appoint?
ment, but the administration would do
well to keep an eye upon tho fork.

THE ARCHBISHOP OF PAMS.-It aoems
to be the invariable onstom of French
revolutionists to single ont the clergy
for vengeance. Priests were beaton and
killed in tho aeoond revolution, as in the
first; in many instances, it is said, they
were bound in front' of barricades, that
their bodies might first receive the balls
fired by the soldiors. The present Arch?
bishop of Paris ia now in prison, and bia
life baa been threatened, though, accord?
ing to late despatches, General Giuseret,
the Communist military leader, bus pro?
mised to appeal to tho Commuuo for his
release. Men of botli tho Beman Catho?
lic aud Protestant religions in France
protest against thu treatment of tho
Archbishop. Two noted Protestant
clergymen-Prceseusu and Mouod-have
addressed lottcrs to the editor of Lc Soir.
Tho former of these speaks of "tho
unjust iucarceratiou" of tho Archbishop
"as ono of tho gravest attacks directed
against liberty since March 18. All re?
ligions are attacked," adds M. do Pres- '
souse, "by this cruel blow to tho Catho?
lic clergy of Paris." M. Mouod is even
moro vigorous iu his protest. "In wit?
nessing," lie said, "men venerated in
Frauen imprisoned without trial or accu- '
satioti, 1 feel that Franco is insulted. If
1 wept for my country when the foreigner
crushed her bleeding beneath his feet, I
weep thc moro bitterly when her own
children are tearing her to pieces with
their hands. To any who should re?
prove me for my owu anguish, I would
any, imprison me, if you please, in the
placo of those whom I defend; I will
continue to pray for France and for yon,
as I believe these saino priests would do;
and I remain persuaded that thu safety
of France is iu a republican constitution
uuitcd to a true Christianity-that of re
pentauce, faith and charily." lt has
been remarked that none of the last five
predecessors of Mousigneur Durboy have
ended their days in peaceful possossion
?if their episcopate. The Archbishop of
Paris, in 1813; fell while endeavoring to
effect a reconciliation between the insur?
rectionists of that year and tho Govern?
ment troops.-J ii itt i morn SHH.
FIOHTINO GIIASS ANO BOVINO HAY.
The other day, ii Northern mun, in thc
hearing of tho writer, let himself loose
upon us after this fashion:
"lt seems to ino that you people in the
cotton-growing States manage somewhat
strangely. You spend half of the spring
and all summer in lighting and destroy?
ing grass, and when you have succeeded
in destroying it all, yon send clear away
down to tho State of Maine and buy
dried grass at h cost of two cents per
pound to subsist your stock. Now, so
nearly as I eau judge, your planters do
not make two cents a pound net on cot?
ton at thirtcon cents in your market ; aud
thus a halo of Eastern hay on your plan?
tations will about offset tl bale of cotton
in the pooket of the farmer.
"From what I know of middle Geor?
gia, I should say that you can beat
Maino out of sight in making hay.
Grass don't take a start in Maine till
from tho first to the middle of June, ?iud
thus, before grass begins to grow iii
Maine, you Georgiana could stuff your
barns so full of hay and clover, at a cost
not exceeding one-eighth nf a cent per
pound, that you might otford to ship hay
to Maine, if the Maine men would only
cousent to pay tho price for it which you
pay.
"Hut if you will not raise hay, which,
to thu extent at least of your owu neces?
sities, you can raise more profitably than
cotton; tell me, in the name of all good
souse, why yon refuse to gather that
grass which comes in your corn-fields
indigenously after thc crop is laid by and
which is much butler for stock than the
musty and falsely-packed stu IT which
ordinarily comes tu your markets?''

PEKEXMAL FIJI COTTON.-A corres
I pondent of tho San Francisco Jlul'eiih
writes from Fiji what follows:
Tho plant being a perennial here is im
important accessory to its cheap produc?
tion, lu tho United Slates it is, as is
well known, au annual, growing upon a
hollow stock, and needing to bu replac?
ed yearly. Here il forms wood, becom?
ing a large bush, bearing its constant
crop for a number of \ears, without any
necessity of replanting. The quality of
Sea Island or long staple colton grown
in Fiji is certainly very extraordinary as
reg mis fineness and length bf staple,
though lacking a little in strength, hollie
has brought, within the p.i>t twp years,
in the English market, as high as ls lid,
or ??1.12 per pound. The status ol* the
Fiji Sea Island is not y. t ?airly deter?
mined in the world's market', hud hence
the correct ne.-s of Ibo n-.set tio. (in con?
nection with oiiicr reiisous) .hat thc
colton culture is yet un unsolved prob?
lem.

A NOVEL IN A NFT SH?Ei.u - Troy luis
a will case thal is almost romantic
enough lo be used ns the basis ol' a sen?
sational novel. Two years ago, a well-to
do citizen ol' tho town died, l aving a
large property, but no will in lenard tb
its distribution, although it was thought
lie had hindu ono. There were several
claimants for tho property, and si nee the
gentleman's death a suit in partition
was begun to divide Ibo estate, and has
been ic. progress for about a year and a
half. Tho other day, thu willow of the
deceased sent a sundi bureau to a turning
shop to havo a top put upon it. While
repairing it, the carpenter discovered
that there was a falso drawer in the
bureau, to prevent tho accumulation of
dirt and dust around thu dresses. In
this bottom, was discovered several
paiiois, and among others tho missing
will. Tho suit is to bo withdrawn, and
all parties mudo happy.

THE HINDOO VS?TTEE-TA. NEW EXPLA?
NATION.-It hoi .been: generali;.. believed
that by tho act of outtee, Hindoo wives
declare their undying attachment to their
husbands, bot Dr. Ob?ver, in his recent
work on Indian medical jurisprudence,
traces the oustom to a very different
origin. He brings forward authorities^
to show that tho Brahmins themselves
invented the law as a means of self-pro
teotion against their wives, Beforo its |
introduction, tho wives were in the habit
of avenging themselves on their hus?
bands for neglect and cruelty by mixing
poison with their food, and at last things
auno to such a boight that the least mat?
rimonial quarrel resulted in the hus?
band's death. Au easier remedy for the
ovil might havo boen fouud in permit?
ting tho wifo to eat out of tho samo dish
as thc husband, but this would have in?
volved too wido a departure from tho
customs of society; und it miiBt bo ad?
mitted that thero is a peculiar refine?
ment of cruelty in the expedient adopted,
which would commend itself to tho1
Asiatic mind. Of lato years, tho law of1
sut too has been occasionally set at do
Qauce, but tho widow cannot altogether I
escape tho consequences of ber husband's
death. His family ?legrado her, and
put her to the most menial duties in tho
house.
A TAILOU'S ILKA OF AN APOLOGY.-A
Topeka (Kansas) paper contains tho sub?
joined apology. It was published nt tho|
I aggrieved doctor's expense:
"AN APOLOGY.-Sumo timo last winter
Dr. S. E. Sheldon ordered mo to make
him a iiuo single-breasted frock coat, to
be worth ?15. I made tho coat, and it
was a perfect lit, but ho left it on my
bauds because ho wanted a 'swallow- i
tail' instead, whereby I suffered a loss of
$20. This spring ho ordered of mea
busiuess suit, and endeavored again to
leave a coat on my hands. I told him to
leave me tho wholo suit or pay mo for it.
He refused, and I kicked him out of my
shop, at 8 o'clock, ou tho morning of!
March 27, 1871. Ho has since, howover,
paid me, and requested an apologj-,
which I now mako, and state that had ho
