The words 'Durham smoking tobaooo' oannot oooBtitnte a legal trade mark, aaa therefore oannot be regis'-ered. There ia nothing registrable ia either Black? well's or Armistead's labels, and the 0 filo o blundered when it gave a certi? ficat o of registration to Bl a ok well." Probabilities-Partially oloudy weather will prevail on Saturday North of the Ohio valley with light to fresh Northerly to Westerly winde, and over the South? ern States East of the Mississippi, with Westerly to Northerly wiads; clearing but partially cloudy weather for the Middlo and New England States, with 1 gilt to fresh South-westerly to North? westerly winds. The signal service weather reports, which were only intended originally for the benefit of aommeroe, have proved so uEofal to the agricultural interests of the oountry also, that Congress has author? ized the War Department lo extend the workings of the system so as to provide especially for those interests by the col? lection of reports from various points iu t ie interior. The captain of the revenue cutter Northerner reports his chase after the alleged Cohan filiibuBter Fannie to thu Treasury Department. Other reports from customs officers contain no evidence of fillibustering intentions, but it ap? pears that it waa considered a matter of caution to keep in Bight of her, aud ac? cordingly, on the night of June 7, the Northerner, sighting the Fannie, kept up a stern chase for some time, and also found a tug in her wake, which, being overhauled, was found to contain a de? tective, who was in the employ of the Spanish Consul al New York. The mas? ter of the tug was fortified with docu? ments in Spanish, designed to protect him from Spanish men-of-war, if over? hauled by any of them. Late in the evening of the 7th. however, the sea beooming rough, the tug was compelled to seek shelter. The Northerner, keep? ing on the chane of the Fancie, extin? guished her lights, and at a iater hoar the Faunie did the same, aud was lost sight of, she being at tbe time seventy five miles ?South-east of Gape Henry, and about thirty-five miles from tbe nearest land. The Northerner cruised all night, bat finding no sign of the Fan? nie ia the morning, returned to Fort Monroe. ATLANTA, Jane 14 -Gaskill, who wes indioted lust year, with Fot>ter Blodget', for larceny after trust, was yesterday discharged by the court. CHICAGO, Juue 14.-Albert Gjrnier has challenged John Deery to a game of French billiards, of 600 pointa, on a carom table, for $1,000 a Bide. Tho game to is to take plaoe in New York. THE LAST OF DOLLY VARDEN.-Miss Dolly Varden, whose name has several times been mentioned in connection with the curtain calico fashions, has at last played oat. And another yoong lady claims the honor of being the leader of the gay and festive oircles of the fashion? able. Her naaae is Miss Polly Knees. The name of thiB fashion is eminently : appropriate, for two or three reasons. Now, Miss Polly was the daughter of a Dutch baker, wno was one of the ear? liest settlers of this country. In tbe , coarse of time, her father waa attaoked with rheumatism and had to give np his , work. But Polly was a noble, brave, , sensible girl, and insisted that the sign should not be taken down, aud that she should become head bakist of the estab? lishment The cid man Knee? (this ie < pronounced Nay) was a very indulgent parent and assented to his daughter's wishes. She came to be so much accus? tomed to wearing her skirts tuoked up while tramping the dough in a trough used for the purpose, that she just had her Sunday dresses and all made to tack ap about knee high. The "oldest io habitant" of New York, who will bo 176 years old, if he lives long enough, related this oironmstanoe a few weeks ago to the fashion circle, and the idea of supplanting Dolly Varden with the immortal Polly Knees took like wildfire, aa a matter of conree. Hurrah for Polly Knees I A celebrated infidel said one day to a friend of his, who had imbibed tho same principles, "Thore is one thing that mars all the pleasures of my life." "In? deed." replied his friend, "What is that?" He answered, "I am afraid the Bible is true. If I could know for cer? tain that death is an eternal Bleep, I should be happy; my joy would be com? plete. Bat here ia tho thorn that stings me. This is the sword that pierces my very soul-if the Bible is truo-I am , I lost forever." I The Buffalo Courier explains: "The reason why so many Republican papers i in thia State support Qen. Orant, is be? cause so many of them are edited by Grant's postmasters and custom-house j officers. There are three of this kind io Westchester Ooanty, and eighteen other United States office-holding editors in other Counties of the State. So in Flo? rida, the only four papers supporting Grant are edited by Government of? ficers." An old man once said: "For a long poriod I puzzled myself about the diffi? culties of Scripture, until at last I came to the resolution that reading the Bible was like eating fish. When I find a dif? ficulty I lay it aside, and oall it a bone. Why should I ohoke on the bone when there is so much nutritions meat for me? Some day, perhaps, I may fiud that even the bone may afford nourishment." A lazy boy in Jacksonville, 111., tied a baby carriage to the old mare's tail. His little brother will not arise and call him blessed, because, although he had a good ride, he did seriously injure his head. A band which serenaded a young mar? ried couple, in ono of our suburban towns the other evening, selected a pe? culiarly happy and flattering piece, known as "The Monkey Married tho I Baboon's Sister."

Guns and pistols repaired, co iii ns made to order, is tho sign of a combina? tion firm in Alabama. Tho weary waiting of Southern citi? zens for the good time which has been so long coming, is well described by the Vicksburg Herald. "A few 'dead men,' " it sayo, "who cannot Bee the situation as it really is, may talk and write as long aa they please, but the voting millions in? tend to get rid of the bayonets wbioh threaten to make a desert of tho South." "Our citizens," it continues, "are tired of being harried off to prison beoause a Beeret service spy asserts that they have violated the Enforcement Act, or some other kindred measure; they are tired of seeing strangers, so often without intelli? gence or honor, rule and rob them; they aro tired of seeing their plowj lying idle, their broad acres growing np in weeds, with poverty in the house and the Sheriff at the door." They are ready to support Mr. Greeley, because "the road which leads to him leads also to the mach coveted bavea of repose." With this in view, the "clap trap about dying in the last ditch," bas loBt its oharm. It is butter to live and to live upon dry up? land. This is a wise resolve, wbioh every sensible maa will agree with us ia thinking should be applauded. Grant accepts the Philadelphia nomi? nation in a ten-line letter, to be found in tho despatches this morning, and bases his claims to re-election upon the ene cosaos of hin past administration. They havo been many, it is true. First and foremost there is our great annihilation of Great Britain on the treaty question; thea the successful annexation of Santo Domingo, and glorious conquest of her most desirable corner-lots; the liberation of Cuba aud the silencing of scornful Spaiu; tho taking to our bosoms of the poor outcast Indian; Sheridan's graceful laying away of tba Ptegans among the graves of their ancestors; the conquest of the Seneca sand-stone quarry, and the captare of the New York custom house, and a batch of other successes too numerous and too glorious to men? tion. In faot, the only thing that Grant hasn't beon successful io is tho getting of bitter partisan measures through Congress and surpassing poor lamootod Jim FiBk in bis Bummer splurges at Long Brauch. His claims are many, but his prospects few. [Louisville Courier-Journal. PUTTING IT SXBONO.-The Richmond Stute Journal says: "During a period of a little over three years past, Fremde nt Grant bas paid over $328,000,000 of the principal ol the national debt. From the close of the war to 1869-aomo four years-but $13,655,668 of the principal of the Da tiouitl debt was paid. Could Mr. Gree? ley, if elected President, show BO credit? able a record?" We doubt if he could. It takes a mun of larger means than Greeley to pay out $328.000,000 in three years. To be sure, if Greeley, like Grant, was ou ly acting as cashier for the people of the United States, and had simply to band over the money to the public creditors which came out of the people's pockets, we don't see why he could not perform that mechanical process as well as "any other mao."-Baltimore Sun. Grant and his party were completely outwitted by the Democrats and their liberal allies in Congress yesterday. The President stood at the door of his room in the Capitol, eagerly watching the pro? ceedings and eager to have himself in? vented with the power to re-elect himself in November next. His threat of an extra session had almost secured the accomplishment of his object, when the Democrats so shaped the matter that Graut, in oalling an extra session, would assume the entire responsibility of the same, and moreover put himself plainly and personally in the attitude of endea? voring to secure his re election by the next thing to main force. In short, the Democrats and Liberals compelled the Radicals to consent to the passage of the appropriation bill shorn of its obnoxious and totally foreign features. It was a mortifying defeat for Grant and nothing less,-Louisville Courier-Journed. Of the catting down of forest trees wbioh is so constantly geing forward io this country. Mr. Wm. (Julien Bryant says: ''It ia a common observation that our summers are becoming dryer, and our streams smaller. Take the Cuya hoga aa an illustration. Fifty years ago, large barges loaded with goods went np aud down that river. New, in the ordi? nary stage of the water, a canoe or skiff oan hardly pass down the stream. Many a boat of fifty tons burden has been built and loaded in tbeTu&carawss, at New Portage, and sailed to New Or? leans without breaking bulk. Now the river hardly affords a supply of water at New Portage for the canal. The same moy be said of other streams. They are drying ap. And from the Hame cause the destruction of our forests-our sum? mers are growing dryer, and our winters colder. "_ SPEAKING LAST NIOUT.-Judge Car? penter, of Charleston, S. C., who waa stopping over ia the city, was prevailed upon by the Chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee, Col. H. C. Jones, to address the citizens of Charlotte on the political isaacs of the day, and about half-past 8 o'clock, after an illumination of the square, be took the stand aud pouted hot shot into the Radical camp. He showed np the corruptions of the present Government in their true colors, and held a large and intelligent audi? ence spell-bound for ono hour or more. His speech was au able one, und will have ila effect in thin community. [Charlotte Observer. Mr. Greeley's pnvute correspondence bas become so voluminous since his nomination by tho Cincinnati Conven? tion, that hu linda it impossible to an? swer thu letters he receives; nod since he cannot mako invidious diatitJoliouH between bia correspondent!), they will understand that no olTetioo is intended if he doon not reply to their kind missives. A case of self -aaorifioo is reported from Arkansas. A oolored fisherman was orossiDg the Mississippi at Little Book one stormy night recently, with his yoong obild with bim in the boat. When in the middle of tue river, the water be? gan to dash over the nidos of the low punt, and it waa evident that the craft would sink in a moment unless relieved of some of its load. Patting his ohild securely ia the middle of the craft, the father jumped into the river, was washed away and drowned. A party from the bank went to tho resoue and recovered the boat and ohild, but the man never was seen afterwards. Merchaats in Pittsburg keep cannon in front of their doors to keep the Bos? ton drummers away. Bat Yankee in? genuity will always overcome every dif? ficulty. Ono dark night one of these drummers orawlcd down and loaded one of those connon with his goods. The next morning he stood opposite and yelled "yal yal" at the man who owned the store, until he got mad and fired the cannon off, sending the drummer's sam? ples into a 8 tor o opposite. That was his tittle game. He entered and demanded bis samples, and actually sold the man a bill of goods from those samples before he left tho store. The items which make np the sum total of the claimB for losses by rebel cruisers, filed by the United States Com? missioners with the Oeneva arbitrators, give a total of $19.081,429, including $1,120,795 for losses from increased war premiums. Tho direct losses, or those from actual capture, are distributed among the rebel cruisers as follows: Ala bama, $0,547,610; Shenandoah, $6,488, 320; Florida, $3,698.600; Tallahassee, $579,956: Georgia, $383,976; Chicka mauga, $95,655; Nashville, 009,537; Retribution, $30,385; Sumter, $10,696; Sallie, $5,510; and Boston, $508. THE TBEATT MUDDLE.-Tbe last move in the disgraceful Alabama business amounts to about this: Lord Granville, receiving the supplemental article, says to Sohenck: "Now, you Yankee rasoal, we suppose this is some new dodge." "No, my Lord, no new dodge, upon my honor." "Well," says Lord Granville, "you are slippery rascals, and yon must put what yon say in writing." "Certain? ly, my Lord, no new dodge intended, upon my honor." (Signed) ROBT. C. SCHENCK. HENDRICKS A RB EST ED AND B AIDED. H. W. Hendricks, whose oowardly attaok upon Mr. John A. Moroso, of tho Cou? rier, was described in the News of yes? terday, was arrested yesterday morning upou a oharge of assault with a deadly weapon, and assault and battery. He was carried before Trial Jnstioe J. G. Mackey for examination, and was bound ovor in the sum of $500 to appear for triul at the next session of the criminal oourt.-Charleston News. BARNWELL CAN'T BE BEAT.-AH eome of our city exchanges report "the first" cotton blooms on their sea island planta? tions on the 10th inst.. Barnwell reporta some of her uplands. Mr. James J. Ingram bad numbers of ootton blooms opened in biB field, at the village, on the 10th inst., and stranger still, Mr. W. J. Rowe, near Blackville, exhibited a cot? ton bloom on the 3d inst., grown in his garden. Is Barnwell not ahead? [Barnwell Sentinel. SUDDEN DEATHS.-On Monday after? noon Williem English, a colored man, who had been employed on the Isis, died of congestive chill. He came home on Saturday night, feeling very badly, and ?radually beoame worse, until he died, obn Bowler, the well-known driver of Mr. L. M. Boswell's wagon, died yester? day of dropsy. Both of these men were much esteemed for their polite manners and general good behavior. [Camden Journal. A Washington letter, of Monday, says: "The House recently passed a bill allow? ing the widow of General Robert Ander s ia, of Fort Sumter fame, a pension of $50 per month, and to-day the Senate considered the measure, and, oo motion of Mr. Wilson, struck out the original bill, and agreed to allow Mrs. Anderson the sam of $10,000 for her future sup? port, in consideration of the gallantry sud courage evinced by her husband at the commencement of the war." SUMHEBVILLB ELECTION.-At BU elec? tion held tor intendant and Wardens of the town of Summerville, on Monday, 10th inst., the following was the resnlt: J. Hall Waring, Iutendant; R. P. Co? burn, S. Bennett, S. J. Maddocks, E. J. LimehouBe, Wardens. It was said of the Bourbons that they never learned anything and never forgot anything. The professedly Democratic papers that favor a straight nomination are still commenting on Mr. Greeley's record in former years. They are whol? ly unable to take in his position now. The Albany Scening Journal tells us that "the opponents of Grant are accus? tomed to sneer at h?B capacity." This is a mistake. The opponents of Grant do not sneer at his capacity. They simply sneer at his otter want of capacity. The Radicals in their platform say the frauking privilege onght to bo abolished. Then, why have thea not abolished it during the ten years they have been in power?
