Fancy D kinks in FatheiiiiAnd. ?More than one English correspondent, writ? ing from' Vienna, has described tbo ecstasy witb with, tbe Americans have "gone" for tboso "gotitle American drinks" mentioned by Disraeli in "Lo thair." Our punches, our juleps and our cobblers spread like wild-tire. All tbe world was tickled with a straw. The solemn German bovereges were abjured, and you saw weil-born beauties imbib? ing gin slings and Tom aud Jerrys with the piquant oonsoiousnes? of doiog something naughty iu a highly fascinat? ing manner. The driuk imbibed, tbcy made hair-pins of the slender golden tubes through whioh they had drawn it, and went rejoicing on tbeir way. Now, it is not generally admitted that Ameri? cans are artists in ambition, and, conse? quently, tho compliment whioh our German aud Austriun friends have been kind enough to pay us comes witb a pe oaliar grace. It is a huudsome return for the kindness with which we have taken to logo- beer. Wo feel that, to some exteut, we have justified ourselves in the eyes of tbe world. How beauti? ful is the imagination that eaters into fancy drinks! They are liquid kaleido? scopes, to be admired by tbe mouth in- j stead of the eye. Aud yet tho Teutons do not seem to havo entered into the spirit of the thing ns largely us could be wished. It was no infrequent sight for three of them to surround one cobbier and gloatingly imbibe at once in a sort of triangular triumph. It has been sug? gested, indeed, that this arose from the conclusion that three heads were better than oue, and that when so importuut an au'air as an American julep was to be pronounced upon, it was advisable to have one judgment corrected by two others. At any rate, there can be no doubt thut American drinks in Vienna were a success, and thut were the origi? nator of American fancy beverages known, his name would sink uffection ately iuto the Teutonic heart. Bad for Punch Dhinkeiis.?We have no doubt that there are a fow parties in town who suck in dumputss through a straw occasionally, though our natural timidity compels ns to state, in this con? nection, that we refer to no particular individual. However, we wish to warn pnnch drinkers who use straws, as they run a great risk. In St. Louis, a gen? tleman well known in business circles suffered intensely from the heat. After experimenting with a number of cooling beverages, he settled ou claret punches as tbe best "steady drink" for hot wea? ther, and absorbed several of them daily through a straw. Unfortunately, he held tbe straw in the same position as he did a cigar, in tbe corner of bis month, with the end resting against his cheek. At the expiration of a few days, the intensely oold liquid'bad a singular effect, und formed an abscess in bis cheek. Not knowiuu at first what it was, be continued to dispose of bis re gulur number of* punches, and wus soon tuken with the lockjaw. Several physi? cians attended him, aud with difficulty saved his life. They were for some timo at a loss to account for tho singular af? fliction, but ou heariug his story, all agreed that tho claret punches were re? sponsible for tbe evil. The sufferer, al? though not eutircly recovered, is out of danger. He will carefully avoid iu fu? ture all crooked aud dangerous drinks, which bo now considers a delusion and u snare, und will either take his straight or witb sugar. ? ? Middleton, a village iu Ireland, bus sot an example of plucky dealing with corporations which use their chartered privileges for tbe purpose of oxtortiou that would cause a decided sensation if followed as a precedent elsewhere. Its gas company advanced its rates twenty-, five cents per 1,000 feet. Tho Middle f jiauH met and requested *ho company to rvwira to tho old rutes. Thu gas oc-ii refused. Tho Middletouians n.raightwjy hud their gas shut off, and, like tbe wise virgins iu the parable, laid iu a largo supply of oil for their lumps. The company are iu a quandary, for thoy have iuvestcd inuuy thousand pounds in stock which does not yield them u peuuy of dividend, which they cannot romove without heavy loss, and on which they are paying iargo tuxes. Tho Middleton paper Buys "it would bo easier for the consumers to get along without tbe company, than for tbe com? pany to get along without tho con? sumers." A woman bus boeu arrested iu Balti? more ou tbe charge of being a common scold. The laws of Maryland make no provision for the punishment of such an offence, and sbn is to ho trier! under the old English common law. Thiede tines snch an offence as tiommon barra? try, and provides as one of the moans of punishment "boring a hole through the tongue." A Motion -foh Injunction.?Tbe County Commissioners of Laurons County havo been served with a copy of bill of complaint to set aside and en? join subscription to the L.iurous aud Asheville Bailroud Company, aud for relief, and summoned to appear about the 2dth or 27th iust., to answer said complaint. Puiladelphia, uot ooutent witb chron? icling human longevity within its bound? aries, reports the demitio of a canary bird nineteen years old, and asks, can? ary place equal that? Thk TrwBhiAOEB. in France. ?The revival,of pilgrimages ju France-renders the subject peculiarly interesting at this time. Until within recent eentartso, j pilgrimages were among the most com mon and highly approved institutions I of the .Chriutian Conrch. They were {?Ota of faith, testifying to and exulting the piety of the pilgrim, and they were most powerful meaua in the spread of Christianity. Originating in a desire to behold the birth placo of the Siviour aud tbu sceues of his sufferings, they were gradually oxtended to all spots hal? lowed by the bones and relics of famous saints, or by the legendary associations with their names. This oustom of mak? ing pilgrimages seems to be fonnded deep in an inetinot of human nature. It is spontaneous with the Mohamme? dans and the Brahmins, and the pro? fessors of all the great religions which have a history. And 'it has never yet wholly disappeared from Christian Eu? rope. At this time, hundreds of thou? sands of Catholics of France aud Eng? land are congregating at Paray le Mo nial.i Lourdesj Boulogne and other plaoes, not afoot, as in days of old, but in modern railway style, with well-filled funch baskets, much after the fashion of American camp-meeting excursions. The English Catholics have chosen Paray le Mound, and there, at the shrine of Margaret Marie Alacoque, a nun, from whom comes the legend of the Sacred Heart, they made their devo? tions on Thursday. The legend runs that the Saviour appeared in a vision to the nun, removed her heart, placed it in bis own bosom, where she saw it wrapped in flames, and that he restored it to her, leaving a wound in her breast, which uever healed, aud instructed her to tell the church to establish the wor? ship of the Saored Heart henceforth. From this curious legend arose tho wor? ship of the Sacred Heart, under the pa? tronage of tho order of Jesuits. The worship of tho Sacred Heart and the use of the mystio title and emblem are as familiar to English Catholics as they are to Catholics in America. In Eng? land, as in the United Siaces, tho name is attached to Catholic schools aud asy? lums, aud is a decided favorite iu the nomenclature of tho church. Q.ub ?EnMAN Population.?A recent number of the Deutelte Nachrichten con? tains a very interesting analytical esti? mate of tho number of Germaus living in the United States, the more impor? tant facts of whioh we reproduce. Ao uordiug to the oeusus lists, there lived in the United States in the summer of 1S7? u total of 1,690,41(1 persons boru in the present German Empire. To this is to be added the number of emi? grants from Austria, Bohemia, Prance, Hungary, Luxemburg and Switzerland for 1869 aud 1870, amounting to 169, 000. Iu this total the emigrants from Bussia and Bussian Polaud are omitted, as offsetting the Prussian Poles, who are not of German extraction. This gives a grand total of 1,886,000 persons of German descent born in Europe and living in this oouutry in 1870. To this number are to be added the descendants of Gorman emigrants born in the States. The oeusus of tho first generation of all nationalities amounts to 4 716,201. Divided pro rata, this would give 1,608, 000 descendants of Germans. Tho lat? ter generations whioh remain to be add? ed have to be obtained mainly by esti? mate. Tho stream of German emigra? tion from 1680 to 1S20 was steady, but very small; but, during tbo^past lifty years, it has rapidly increased, as will bo seen by tho following: From 1811 to 1830, 7,229; from 1831 to 1840, 152,451; from 1841 to 1850, 434,626; from 1851 to 1860, 051,667; from 1861 to 1870, 822,007. Iu estimating the later gene rations, v that is, the grand-sons and grcat-grand-sons, of oourae the compu? tation oau only be made on the emigra? tion between 1821 and 1850, amounting to 600,000. Naturally, only a limited uumber of these would have grand-sous aud great-grand-sous, aud these the Nachrichten estimates at 1,000,000. The total summary, therefore, shows: Ger? man immigrants, 1,880,000; first gene? ration, 1,608,000; and other generations, 1,500,000, or a total of 4,994,000. Iu round numbers, we may t?ay that there are 5,000,000 of Germans and their im? mediate descendants living in the United Status. A Female Biuoand.?The Italian journals relate that the environs oi Catauzaro, Calabria, are infested by a band of brigands ander the command of a young woman. Sho is only twenty years of age, und of great beauty, llor namu is Maria, tho widow of Piotro Monica, a bandit ohicf, who was killed iu itu euoouuter with tho genii'armes. At his death, she seized the carbine aud swore to avenge him. Some time after, a young man, tho son of a wealthy farmer, fell in lovo with her, aud joined her baud iu order to bo ublo to prose? cute his suit. He was, howover, per? emptorily rejected, and iu order to re? venge himself, he bertrayed lier to the authorities. Sho was arrested; tried and sentenced to thirty years' impri? sonment. While ? undergoing her pu? nishment, a warder became enamored of her, favorod her escape, und accom? panied her, but wa9 stabbed to death by her orders immediately alter sho had rejoined her band. Si neu that period, she has become still more redoubtable, her audacity and activity having redou? bled, and she has made herself the ter? ror of tho country. Sho burus farms, carries off cattle, aud levies forced con? tributions. The slightest disobedience to her orders is punished by death. Her troop is numerous, aud always well informed by the peasautry, through dread of vengeance. A pious and much esteemed young man iu California was receutl? fiued 3100 merely for kuocking his mother in law's teeth down her throat, and the teeth didu't umount. to much either. And this is yonr boasted land of liberty, is it? * ? hn + ttWs1k^tts%i9k)is9^ The Cheater Reporter eaya: "Judge Maokey, ?n Taesaarlast, filed bhvde oree ib the office of the Clerk of Court for To.k CsuM?y, dissolving the W*wpu rary injunction granted leal spring,.re straining the County Commisslcnerb from issuing the bonds of York County to pay the subscription they had made to the oapital stock of the Cheater and Lenoir Narrow Gauge Railroad..Com? pany.

Tbe bonds will be 1,000 in number, of the denomina? tion of $100 each, payable in twenty years from July last, and with coupons of $3.50 for the semi-annual interest at? tached. The President of the Chester and Lenoir Narrow Gange Railroad Company has no doubt that be will be able to negotiate the bonds readily at eighty." I Grand Lodge of Odd FelIiOWS op the United Ltates.?The United States Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows meets in Baltimore on the loth, next Monday. The Odd Fellows hall on North Gay street,* oorner of Orange alley, in that oity, has been entirely re? painted without and repainted within, iu anticipation of the event. Its front on North Gay street is said to present a very attractive appearance. Tbe balls have all been recarpsted, and by tbo time for tbe meeting the improve? ments will all be completed. This year the Odd Fellows of Baltimore propose to give to the grand officers aud dele? gates visiting the city a warmer recep? tion thuu has been tho case for some timo. A Brutal Driver.?A eoeoe was en? acted ou East Bay, yesterday, wbiob ex? cited the indignation of those who wit? nessed it. A colored man, named John Edwards, employed by Mr. Walker, con? tractor for watering East Bay, because the mule which be was driving did not do just as he wauted, beat it in the most cruel mauncr over the bead witb a lurgo stick until tho poor beast suc? cumbed to bis brutality, sank down and died iu harness. The brutal driver was arrested and taken to the guard house. Tbe mule was worth abont $200. [Charleston Ifeics. A Western Farmer's Daughter oni the Stumf.?One of tho largest farm? ers' meetings ever held in Iowa was that which met at Washington, of that State, last week. The Chioago Tribune says: "Sixty granges took part in the procession, robed in the regalia of their order, and thero were about 10,000 farmers on the ground. They Were ad? dressed by Dudley W. Adams, master of tho national grange, and Miss Gar rettson, a farmer's daughter, who is de? clared to have made the better speech of the two." Tbo Boston Advertiser, a leading Ad? ministration organ, says: "When a party becomes an organization of of tice-holders, and is held together by the profits of its administration of public affairs, it is near its end." Is there not a party in this country to-day whose vital principle is pnblio profits, whioh, in the epigrammatic language of a dis? tinguished Senator, is held together "by tbe cohesive power of public plun? der?" Rust in Cotton.?We hear considera? ble complaiut of rust in cotton, which has already injured the orop. We learn, also, that there is very little August crop iu the cotton, there having been so much rain, or from some other cause, tbo plant took on no fruit during that month; and now, if tbe rust should at? tack it seriously, not more than half a crop can be made in this seotion of country. ?Laurenscille Herald.

Homicide.?Au altercation took place I on last Friday, at or near Mima* Cross I Roads, Darlington County, between Mr. Georgo Watford and Mr. Henry Manned, which resulted in tho death of tho latter. Mr. J. Garviu Wajnwright, of Au gnsta, died on Wednesday night, at Johnsons', on the Charlotte, Columbia aud Augusta Railroad, from ou over? dose of laudanum, taken for tbe relief of piles. Fernaudo Wood protests against the erection of statues iu Central Park to Scott, Dickens aud other foreigners. He thinks the honor should be given to Amerioaus only.
