It is believed that Mr. Carpenter, cf
Dutch Flat, Calv did not for au instant
suspect that there was going to be an at?
mospheric disturbance when he knocked
1 the ashes out of his pipe on tho head of
a pow'der keg. But when tho fragments I
of him were put into a bag and carried
to his late residence, Mrs. C. merely re?
marked: "AHub the luok; hang him up
on that peg over the door, where the
rats can't get at him."
. The "India rubber bustle" is ogain
heard from. This time it was a Brook?

Prospect Park. She mad3 ninety-seven

resoaed by a book and ladder company
from the top of a telegraph pole, where
I she had stuck in attempting to complete
the ninety-eighth bounce.
The publio interest excited by tho ex?
pression of a lady's faoe when she sits
down on a strange gentleman's hat in
oharch, says Blimber, is what plunges
many a Christain female into a vortex of
inaudible profanity.

j A New Southern Trunk Like.?An?
other extensive railway enterprise, an
, tared upon Borne time since under the
name of tbe Southern Bailway Security
Company, is fast approaching comple?
tion, and will be thrown open for through
travel from New York to New Orleans
about August 1. According to the state?
ments of the officers, tho company was
chartered and organized for the purpose
of uniting and protecting the interests of
lines belonging to it, and for the crea?
tion of a great Southern Trunk Line from
New York to the principal points in the
S?utb. Among the oompanies embraced
in tho combination, are the Richmond
and Danville, the North 'Carolina, At?
lanta and Riehmond Air Line, the Wil?
mington and Weldou, the Wilmington,
Columbia and Augusta, the Charlotte,
j Columbia and Augusta, the East Ten?
nessee, Virginia and Georgia, the Mem?
phis and Charleston, the Richmond aud
Petersburg, tho Petersburg and Weldou,
the North-eastern, and the Cheraw and
Darlington. Through these several com?
panies, the combination controls, in the
route from Washington to Memphis, tbe
portion between Bristol and Memphis,
composed of the East Tennessee, Vir?
ginia and Georgia, and the Memphis and
Charleston railroads. Two routes, con?
trolled by it, diverge at Richmond, Va.;
one, the Richmond, Atlanta and New
Orleans Air Line, composed of the Rich?
mond and Danville, (including part of
its North Carolina division,) the Atlauta
and Richmond Air Line, Atlanta and
West Point, Western, of Alabama, Mo?
bile aud Montgomery, and the Now Or?
leans, Mobile and Texas railroads, is the
shortest line from Riehmond, Va., to
Now Orleans, Lv The conneotiou is
now made via Augusta. Tho other, the
Great Atlantio Coast Line, is composed
of the Richmond and Petersburg, the
Petersburg and Weldon, tbe Wilmington
and Weldon, the Wilmington, Columbia
aud Augusta, the North-eastern Railroad
and connections. The Secretary states
that the Atlanta and Richmond Air
Line, under construction, will be finished
by August 1, aud trains will fun from
New York to Atlanta in forty hours, and
from New York to New Orleans in sixty
hours. The company intend to extend
their lines Westerly, so ae to connect
with the system of railroads no* in
course of construction in Texaa, and in
the autumn to establish their general of?
fice in New York, and to open an emi?
grant bureau to facilitate the transporta?
tion of emigrants to the Sonth, and the
development of the country through
which'the Southern Trunk Line extends,

Tue Sinking Fund Commission.?The
Onion-Herald saya:
* The legislative committee appointed
to investigate the doings of the Sinking
Fund Commission nre still pursuing
their labors, and, from all that can be
learned, the monotony of this duty is
somewhat brokon by the new phases put
upon some transactions reported to have
been made. The committee and the
able counsel before it on the part |
of the State wero probably wise in1
adopting the course they did, of keep*
ing from the public the drift of the tes?
timony adduced until it should be pro?
per to give the same. This is well. Bat
we may, perhaps, in a lauduble zeal to
be fully up to and alivo to the somewhat
dull times for news, he allowed to give'
rumors, considered to be well founded,
as to the bearing of a point or two of I
the important testimony given by the
first witness, which is, in fact, but an
endorsement of many things that have |
been expressed?more than have been
hinted at. Regarding the sale and trans?
fer of the Blue Ridge Railroad stock I
owned by the State, it is reported there'
has been most important testimony
given. To go into the intricate minntiro
of the workings of rings regarding this
corporation at the present time, is not
our purpose, but merely to refor to what
is stated to be the sabstance of cx-Gov.
Scott's testimony. Singularly cuough,
this ex-officer, if reports be true, gets
continually in a moro agreeable aspect
as he is drawn out by official investiga?
tions. It is stated that the 13,100 shares
of the stock held by the State in the
Blue Ridge Railroad Company (as has
been stated before) w?ro Bold for 81 per
share, on condition that the buyers I
should fulfill certain stipulations, among I
whioh was that the floating debt should
be paid in niuety days, which would
have included the 0220,000 that was a
kind of an eye-sore; that $10,000 per
year should be paid by the contractors to
the State, and that the Blue Ridge Rail?
road should be completed in five years,
etc., etc. None of these conditions were
complied with; yet the contract has not
been declared null and void. Why? Be?
cause, by Act of Legislature, (in the
bill known as the sorip bill,) the acts of
the Sinking Fund Commission were con?
firmed,* and, if said bill is constitutional,
the defects of their transactions cured.
The faet is, the Secretary of the Sinking
Fand Commission was tho custodian, by
virtue of another office he held, of the I
Block of the Bine Ridge Company held
by the State. It is also reported to ua,
as appearing in testimony, that the wit?
ness, at one of the meotiegs of the Sink?
ing Fund Commission, spoke to the Sec?
retary of the meeting, stating, in sub?
stance, that he, the Secretary, had
omitted in bis minutes of tho previous
mooting some of the important condi?
tions upon which the stoak was to be
disposed of; that a request was made,
and a draft of 'the corrections drawn up,
in witness' own hand-writing, to have
the minutes properly corrected, and that
at a subsequent meeting tho minutes
were oorrected, bat bo as to appear as if
the corrections were additional condi?
tions, and not those at first fixed upon.
Then, you know, it was only 13,100
shares, a dollar a share, if these condi?
tions were complied with. They were
not complied with, as subsequent events
have shown, and, of course, the question
the committee want to find out, and that
everybody asks, is, who's to blame? It
is simply this?that if the General As?
sembly had not overlooked or cured
(that is, if th?Act is constitutional) the
defects growing out of a non-compliance
with tho contract regarding the payment
of the floating debt, giving the bond for
faithful performance, .fco., the 13,100
shares of stock would now belong to tho
State, by reason of a total non-compli
auoe of tho conditions of its transfer. If
the conditions had bocn complied with
and faithfully carried out, it would have
been probably benefioial to both the
road and the State. "It is a very loDg
lane that has no turn."
The Oldest Biule.? The famous Ma
zarin Biblt, so oalled because it was dis?
covered in the library of Cardinal Maza
rin, was sold in London a few days ago,
at public auction. It is said to be the
first edition of the Latin Bible, and the
first book printed with metal types by
Guttenberg and Faust. 1150 is the dato
of its production. It is oue of the finest
books and rarest in tho world, and one
of the finest as weil as earliest specimocs
of printing. It was sold for the enor?
mous sum of JC3.100, ($17,000.) Mr.
Ellis, a book-seller in London, was the
purchaser.
Tho New York Sun thinks that the
doings of the Southern Claims Commis?
sion will bear investigation. A number
of Goorgio negroes aro said to have pnt
in claims for cabins, calling them re
I sidences, worth $3,000 a piece. Not?
withstanding the fact that under the laws
of Georgia, before the war, n negro
could not hold property, these claimants
j are now asking Uncle Sam to reimburse
i them for their cabins, sets c! marble top
j furniture, males, cattle, &o., one County
j alone presenting claims of this oharactcr
j amounting to $1,500,000.
A Smitten and Deserted City.?The
editor of the Atlanta Constitution passed
through Nashville last Friday. lie says
j that the half is not known. The courts,
j schools, bauks and nearly every other
I place of business nre closed. Silence,
. disease and death reign supreme in the
onco happy and prosperous oity. Not
j lees than 15,000 people have fled from its
fatal precincts, and the rest are going as
fast as they can obtain transportation.
Death of Major S. A. Townes.?Tho
above named goutlemau died at tho re?
sidence of his daughter, Mrs. Harris, in
Edgefield County, one day last week,
and bis remains were carried to Green?
ville.
The Edgefield Advertiser announces the
death, on tho 25th, of Mr. Lovett Go
mdion, who was wounded by Mr. Ar?
thur Glover, about ten days ago.
Fob the Cholera ?More than forty
yeara ego, when it was found that pre?
vention for the Asiatic cholera was easier
than cure, the learned doctors of both
hemispheres drew. up a prescription,
whioh was published (for working peo?
ple) in the New York Sun, aud took tho
name of the "Sun cholera mixture." Our
contemporary never lent its name to a
better article. We have seen it in con?
stant use for a number of years, and
found it to bo the best remedy tar loose?
ness of the bowels ever yet devised. It
is to bo commeuded for several reasons.
It is not to be mixed with liquor, and,
therefore, will not be used as an alcoholic
beverage; its ingredients are well known
among all the common people, and it
will have no prejudice to combat; each
of the materials is in equal proportion to
the others", and it may, thcrofore, be
compounded without professional skill;
and, as the dose is so very small, it may
be carried in a tiny phial in tho waist?
coat pocket, and be always at hand. It
is: Tincl, opii, capsici, rhei co , month
pip.^campho. Mix the above in equal
parts; dose, ten to thirty drops. In plain
terms, take equal parts tincture of opi?
um, red pepper, rhubarb, peppermint
and camphor, and.mix them for use. In
case of diarrhcoi, take a dose of ten to
twenty drops in three or four tea-spoon -
f uls of water. No who one has this by
and takes it in time, will ever have the
cholera. Wo commend it to oar West?
ern friends, and hope that the recipe will
be widely published. Even when no
cholera i3 anticipated, it is an oxoellent
remedy for ordinary summer complaint.
The Amerioan Public Health Associa?
tion, at the head of which are some of
the moBt prominent medical men in the
country, have issued a ciroular contain?
ing suggestions as to tho most available
means for arresting and preventing the
fatal prevalence of Asiatic oholera or ma?
lignant oholera in this country; From j
this oironlar, whioh comes to us through
Dr. B. Lobby, Sr., the health officer of
the State, tho following hints and sug?
gestions are taken:
"To combat and arrest the progress
and prevent the epidemio prevalence of
this scourge of sanitary negligence, it is
necessary that the inhabitants of every
oity and town should promptly resort to
the most effectual purification, aud the
best known means of disinfection, and
j that this sanitary cleansing and prepara
j tion should be at onoe and very tho
1 roughly carried into effect?before any
I oases of cholera occur?aud that in the
! presence of tho disease these sanitary
duties should be enforced in every house?
hold and throughout the entire district.
Experience has proved that the best way
to prevent both pestilence and panic is
to know nnd prepare for the danger. It
i3 the only way to deal successfully with
cholera."
After enumerating the local conditions
that chiefly promote the outbreaks and
propagation of cholera, such as foul
cellars or drains, decaying animal aud
vegetable matter, unventilated and
damp buildings, &o., the ciroular pro?
ceeds to insist upon the necessity of per?
sonal cleanliness and tomperanco to in?
sure health. The disinfectant recom?
mended by tho circular is composed of
oight or ten pounds of sulphate of iron
(copperas) dissolved in five or. six gal?
lons of water, with half a pint of crude
carbolic acid added to the solution; and
briskly stirred, makes. the cheapest and
best disinfeoting fluid for common use. It
can be proonred in every town and by
every family, and if the carbolic acid is
not at band, tho solution of copperas
may be used without it.
The circular, after reiterating the ab?
