SAFETY SwlTcH.-We saw, few days
since, ut the Georgia Railroad, Il very ingeni-
Gus switch invented by Mr.. William Colby,
of this city, the objcc. and purpose of which
is to keep the cars on the track in spite OF
Acknowledgement on the part of the person at
tending it. This switch is called the Safety
Switch and no matter how adjusted the car
will remain in its proper position. We were
struck with its simplicity, and consider it
highly crcditablc to the ingenuity, SKIN, and
industry of its inventor, and hope that those
who are better judges Of such things and
their practicabIity, than ourselves, VIII pro-
nouncc in its favor, and that it may be the
means of putting money in the pocket OF n
worthy mechanic. Success to the mechanics,
and whenever in our power we desire to give
them iit.-Georgia Cons'itmionattA

.Sy"The New York National Democrat
asks:-"If Great Britain, for her own saliva
ton, courts the alliance of the United States
against the designs Of the Car, rs an union
of the liberal principles against the principle
of despotisu, how can we refuse our aid in
crisis of such overwhelming consequence
And with the Lion and the Eagle fighting

land stripes waving over the
neads Of the whole Saxon world, the con-
Aict with the Cossack and his mercenary
hordes, what would be the result, but the tri-
umph of Liberty and the downfall of the last
yestire of 'rule by right divine"
A NEW RAIL CARA few days ago new
kind of ear was introduced on the Hudson
River Railroad. In exterior it does not dill
fer from the ears at present in use, only that
il is a little wider. The Improvement con-
sists in division of the interior into differ
ent apartments, six feet by cight-cach apart
ment furnished with sofa, chairs and center
table, and capable Of accommodating eight or
nine passengers. The rooms are handsome
" carpetcd and tastefully adorned, and are
parlors in themselves. Families or parties OF
friends can thus be accommodated with as
much seclusion, comfort and indeed luxury,
as can usually be found at home or at pub
lie hotel. A waiting maid will be in attend
auce, and we believe it is designed ultimately
10 have refreshments served. the same as at
private house or public hotel.
The price of fare will be but slightly IN
creased i'm these cars.

GRASS FED INDrANs.-Onc of the Califor-
mia journals has the following statement rcla-
tive to new kind Of food adopted by the
"Diggcr Indians" as they are called
There are two considerable Indian villages
in this vicinity at the prcsenttime, and the In.
dams, who looked us lean and gaunt us half
furnished wolves during the past winter, now
appear to be enjoying all the luxuries that an
abundant supply of clover and an occasional
supply of beef and bread can afford. The
hills in the vicinity arc verdant with nice ten
der clover, which is dcvoured by these poor
savaScs with as much gusto as an cpicurc
would devour the most dainty dish. They
gather the clover in baskets and prepare it
for use by heating large stones and placing Il
layer of clover well moistened between each
layer of stones. II soon becomes ready for
use, and each one of them will cat supply
of clover thus prepared that would almost
satisfy horse.

House ArroISTMENTs.-lnth the immense num-
Der of offices in the gift Of the Collector OF
Customs al this port, there are many when
might be well and most appropriately illied
by men in pretty advanced stage OF life
Among the applicants for such appointments
under The present Collector, have been some
fen or twelve healthy, active and competent.
old men, belonging to the veteran corpse OF
1912. These relics Of gallant band are
surely entitled to the first claim in the dlstrl-
button of government patronage; and they
have a prima jacie right TO expect that they
should be selected in preference to all other
nolitical claimants, to fill such offices as they
might sevcrally be qualified for. But we re-
gret to find, that in we believe, every instance
their applications for Custon-liouse s,.ua,
tons have been unsuccessful, and not single
amendment has been made from among
them, although several of them are enlnen'iy
qualified for the positions to which they as
pired, having served in like capacities under

says
4Somc of the clergy in the eastern part OF
the county (Clarke,) say that they are in
spired by the spirits, and that their sermons
delivered out Of the pulpit are not their own
but that they are the instruments through
which the spirits operate upon the mass OF
the people. We understand that these dl
vines or the spirits through them, say that
the Millennium was commenced, that in i've
years the wicked are to be swept from the
face of the earth, and the righteous are to
inherit it for ever. 1t is reported that one OF
the dvines said on Sunday last, while preach
ing to crowded house, that not more than
dozen of his audience would ever pass through
the shades of death. 1t is also said the spirits
have informed the people, through the mcdi.

wrong, and that they should use water in,
stead of wine for sacramenta purposes; and
we are informed that the people are follow

from an old book published by Russell ~
West, Boston, in the year $500, entitled
sWashington's Political Lcgacies, and dcdl-
Gated by the editors to Mrs. Martha WASH
ington:
'Gcncral Washington was ut one time pro-
badly one of the greatest land-holders IN Inc
United States. His annual receipts from ms
estates amounted in 1875 to four thousand
pounds sterling. His property, at the same
period, WAS estimated to he worth one nun
dred and sixty thousand pounds slerIlng'
which is very large sum in federal money,
and was considered Il very great fortune III
that early day in this country for airy one man
to possess. His estate at Mount Vernon was
computed in 1887 to consist Of nine thousand
acres of land, of which enough was IN cuill-
walton to produce, in single year: ten lhou,
sand bushels Of corn and seven thousand
bushels of wheat. In succeeding year he
raised two hundred lambs, sowed twenty
seven bushels of ilaxsccd, and planted seven
hundred bushels o! potatoes. lie dcslstcd, II

then extensively raised in Virginia, for the
purpose. it is said, OF setting an example, ny

duction and fostering Of such articles OF do
nestle use and necessity rs would ultimately
tend to the best advantage OF his country
Ills domcstirs, at the same time, were indus

clothe his numerous household, which num-

traying what fabric dealers have to suffer
from their customers:

ATOUGH STORY.

A correspondent OF the n. \. Tribune fur
nishes the following tough story in regard to
what he has seen in the way of sprituasm
and table turning. 1t is decidedly ahead Of
anything we have yet seen:
On the evening of Sunday, August T. our
holding intercourse with those departed from
our earthly sphere. Seating ourselves in the
usual ORDER we had not been Joined in the
chain of harmona brotherhood longer than
fifteen minutes, when our medium Miss Aus
TIM gave indications Of approaching friends.
Calmly awaiting their first manifestation, we
sat attcntively watching her movements, when
all at once, and to the no small establishment
of those present, she gradually commenced
rising from her seat, and rose until she as
sumed position over the table, ut an altitude
of five feet from the floor. In this position
she remained for some time, until she was
gradually lowered to within onc.sixtecnth of
the table, when the following directions were
spelled out by raps: "Take your hands off
the table, move back from it three feet; then
Join hands and form complete circle" In
accordance with this, we moved to the posi-
tons assigned to us, when the medium WAS
again raised to her former position, the table
following at the aforesaid distance In this
position they remained suspended. until the
medium was, by the same invisible power,
brought to position directly under ''the
table" And now commenced one of the
grandcst and awe-inspiring scenes it has ever
been the lot Of human eye to witness.
The room was filled will, melody the most

coursinr heavens choiscst harmony, while
the well known raps responded in tones OF
sweetest unison to those enchanting strains
Slowly and swectly did the music of the
spheres rcccde until the listening ear could
only catch its lingering cadence in the dis
lance. Oh. it was happy glimpse of mmor.
talty, and dull, indeed, must be the soul that
would not have responded to the joyful call
But as yet, the most startling part of the
phenomenon is to be told. After the medium
had again been permitted to resume her place
in the circle, we were directed TO open the
window, and take our places by the table
again as usual.
After we had sat there for few seconds
the table began TO vibrate Violent $50 much
so, indeed that we were compelled to break
the circle, and mark in silence the new dcvcl-
opcmcnt. Long had we not waited before il
became suddenly quiet, and, rising gently
from the floor, it passed ont Of the window
without Il human hand being on it. 1t was
thus, and while the table yet remained outside

diatcly proceeded to obey; but Judge our as.

width being more than eighteen inches wider
than the window through which aver il
passed.
