Thb New Canaanttes in Grobgia.?
About tho first of last year, a colony of
religio-communists, hailing from Massa?
chusetts, made a settlement on what is
known as tho Steams place, in Columbia
County, tii, about olevou miles from
Augusta. At first, their ranks were
thin, but they gradually received acces?
sions until the colony at one time em?
braced about 100 souls. Their leader,
Joseph T. Curry, assumed over his de?
luded followers the most dictatorial au?
thority,.proclaiming himself the prophet
Yahveh, the Great Ruler of tho Uni?
verse, and not unfreqnently declaring
himself to be the Saviour of the world.
His followers were required to obey him
in word, thought and deed. His wifo
became disgusted and left Curry and his
gang. Tho leader, who calls himself
"Yahveh," then took up with a young
woman, whom he called his queen. The
laws of marriage wero abolished by his
orders, aud males and females occupied
tho samo apartments. The citizens of
the County, bocoming disgusted, bad
"Yahvoh" arrested and lodged in jail, on
a charge of adultery and fornication.
Upon his arrest, the prisoner arrayed
himself in simply a white robe, belted
with a yollow cord, and placing upon
his head a mitre endorsed "Holiuess to
Yahveh."

Smalij Pox Pbbcautions.?Many of
the Bo-called remedies or preventives for
this loathsome disease, now so prevalent,
are absolutely worthless, if not posi?
tively hurtful. Tho Boston Globe, how?
ever, gives the "following suggestions
by an eminent physician," whioh seem
to be marked by u degree of common
sense aud apparent tnedioal knowledge
that reuders them valuable. Tho first
thing, says this authority, is in all oases
to send for a physician; the next, to se?
lect a uurso. A mustard plaster, placed
ou the back at nice, will be of service.
The patient should be removed, as soon
as taken, to the highest room in the
house. Such a room is more quiet, the
air is fresher und purer, and the risk of
infection as to the othor parts of the
house is much lessened. A sheet now
hung bofore the door, and cloths placed
about the room, saturated with brorao
. chloralum or carbolic acid?in both
louses, one pnrt of the disinfectant to
two parts of water?will absorb the poi
! son in a measure, and should never bo
neglected. Into all the vessels the pa?
tient uses, even into the basin that re?
ceives hie saliva, the mixture should be
poured aud kept. Keep the room com?
paratively dark, and at a moderate tem?
perature?about sixty degrees?aud re?
member the sick man must have air.
j The nurse must not leave the room; all
bedding must be burnod by her, and all
clothes that oannot be boiled. A mat?
tress is far better than a feather bed for
the patient to lie on; but if a feather bed
is used, it becomes tbe very rankest poi?
son, saturated, and almost impossible to
disinfect, and must be burned immedi?
ately on reoovery.
The Bonapabth Family ?The Lon?
don correspondent of the New York
World has the following to Bay of the |
Bonaparto family: 1
An interesting fact connected with tho
Bonaparto family in their relation by
marriage with two Scotch families of
\ Dumfreshire, Scotland. The Emperor
was himself one of theso connecting
links, through marriage, with the Em?
press Eugenie, who was a grand-daugh?
ter of William Kirkpatriok, of the Kirk
patrieks of Glosoham of that shire. They
were also allied with tho Scotch people
through Jerome Bonaparte, King of
Westphalia, who married Miss Paterson,
of Baltimore, grand-daughter of another,
but humble Dumfreshiro family?Ro?
bert Patorson, described by Sir Walter
as "Old Mortality," and who spent a
large portion of his life in traveling from
place to place and renovating tho tomb
| stones of the martyred covenanters.
This Paterson died in 1801, at Bauk
head, while, by a carious coincidence, he [
was on hia way to discover, if possible,
tho burial place of Roger Kirkpatriok,
onstodier of Carlaverock Castle, who was
slain by his guest, James Lindsay, iu
1358. What is interesting, also, is the
fact that in tho same church yard?that
of Carlaverock?lie the remains of Wm.
Kirkpatriok, grand-father of the Empress
i Eugenie, and of Robert Paterson, grand?
father of Miss Paterson whom the ex
Kiug Jeromo married.
Tub Result of the Abolition of -rnE
Fr?nking PniviLEOE.?The Sonate has 1
demonstrated to-day how men dislike to
yield power. It has been a delight ful
thing for a Senator to just write his
name on a book or a package of seeds or
a letter, to insure its free transmission to
any post office between Alaska and Key
West, or Madawaska and Brownsvillo.
Ladies supplicated for franks, coustita?
cts begged them, and even newspaper
correspondents were conciliated by them.
Bat public opinion has made tho Sena?
tors relinquish this oherished "privi?
lege," and great is their wrath. Cress
well did the business by assorting that j
the abolition would save $3,500,000, and
now they mean to make him save
this sum. They have oat down bis ap?
propriations for clerk hire to-day, aud
they mean to continue their reforms,
even depriving him of his "riding privi?
lege," by whioh ho goes to and from his1
homo in Maryland free, under tbe de?
partment dead-head clause in the con?
tracts for mail service on tho railroads.
Meanwhile the&e reforms will benefit tht
public and warrant a single letter post?
age rate of two cents, although tho Tor
vey-top8 of tho uppor House may b j de?
prived of their oherished privilege.

letter informing him that the Interna?
