NELSON. Mai. Gen


u S. 1880 LoAN.-By reference TO our
advertising columns, it will be seen that
the government is Offering the epeople Of this
section an opportunity to subscribe to the
seven-tbirty loan. This is the only loan in
market, and as the war is regarded at an
end, it is very popular with the people ey-
erywhere. The profit accruing from invest
ments in this loan is estimated at ten per
cent per annum Besides the income by
interest, these bonds are exempt from State
and municipal taxation. This makes the
bonds still more popular. Everything else
is burthened with taxation, while these
bonds are exempt. No wonder then that
everybody is so anxious to subscribe to the
loan, and everybody SO anxious to invest
It is better to subscribe to this loan than
to own an interest in a never failing oil vein,
for the never failing tax would consume the
oil and impoverish the owner. If people
fail to gobble up these Treasury Notes i'm
mediately, it viii be because they ignore
safe investments. State Banks and private
Bankers throughout the country have agreed
to receive subscriptions at par. Subscribers
can select their own agents.

Coquetry.

Is coquetry justifabe? I most EN-.
phatically say it is. What is it but an in-
nocent hirtation--an interesting game-in
which both are free to shuttle the cards to
their own advantage? We know that all
who engage in the harmless amusement
are at once denounced as perfectly heart
less How absurd | would have the
gentlemen know that they can be lady's
gallant for a considerable time, may pay
her special attention, without her falling
hopelessly in love with them. ] would al
SO have them understand that the girls are
as invulnerable TO the "shatts of Cupid" as
they are; that they can play the ''agreea
Bile" without assuming the sentimental
style. If they only knew how little the
girls value their smiles, bows and fascina.
tions in general, it would lessen their vani-
ty considerably Now, for instance, there
is one of your 'fast young gentlemen"
I'll wager he has vowed constancy to every
lady above mediocrity either in personal
charms or fortune that has ever had the
honor of his acquaintance. He hes the
vanity to believe that he has only to don
one of his studied expressions, (got up on
purpose for such special occasions,) and
Miss is conquered, at once and forever.
He manages to to be introduced to whoever
pleases his fancy, and then comes series
of firtatious Flatteries, Che calls them
compliments perfumed billets, and rare
gifts are the order of the day, till Monsieur
grows weary of the sold story" and longs
for a new subject But first behold him
performing the coup de grdce-that of ma
king love- See how he drops on his knees
with the greatest sang froid-by the way
it is death to his broadcloth pantaloons-
hear him vow for the fortieth time to be
true, when dare say he is not even think
ing of what he is saying, he has prscticed
the art so long. In the name of goodness
who would say it was not perfectly right to
jilt him? Of course it is. Now see how
crestfallen he looks. He straightway. then
and there, denounces the whole sex as mi
nus heart, just because he has found one
who has enough Of the spirit of coquette
to foil him with his own weapons.
Pick up any of our "literary publica-
tions" and you will see accounts of a young
man whose prospects in life were fair, who,
if his hopes we're realized, would be
"star" in the community, but some hard
hearted daughter of Eve lured him with
her charms, encouraged his attentions, rode,
danced, walked aud firted with him, till
he, as matter of course, thought he had
the right to govern her for life. But Miss
Wiilful didn't fancy any such serious ter
mnation to a drama began SO carelessly.
She always considered him a friend, and
nothing more; she never intended any
harm; no, indeed but he imagines his
heart is entirely broken, and from that Pc
riod commences dissipated life. Such ac-
counts we see frequently just as if a lady
could not act with whom pleased, without
getting up "scene."

which gives to this Brandy it's flavor and arc,

odor partakes of both the fruit and oil of
grapes With acids, it produces ethers of
high fragrance. The substitution of this

A Bloodhound Chase.

The rebel practice of chasing Union
prisoners of war with bloodhounds is thus
illustrated in letter from Sherman's ar
my to the Cincinnati Gazette "Our es-
capped prisoners are hunted by bloodhounds.
These are kept at all the pens for that
purpose. To kill one of them is certain
death if discovered. On one occasion two
were killed at Andersonville, and the au-
thorities, not being able to find those who
committed the act, placed the carcases of
the dogs outside the dead line, in the brook
which supplied the camp with water, and
allowed them to rot there. Hundreds of
our officers aud men have been chased by
these dogs. They are kept at all guard
stations and picket posts throughout the
South, and especially at the ferries and
fords of the rivers, are used to hunt both
our men and deserters from the rebel army.
We have space for only one case of
bloodhound chase. The parties who had
escaped were privates Crummil and Harris
of the 5th Illinois cavalry, Martin Cloes,
Sd Illinois, and Patterson, of the I'd New
York. Two of these soldiers were eigh-
teen years old, one twenty, and one only
seventeen. They were chased by fifteen
dogs, in charge of some twenty mea. One
man, finding the dogs close upon them, and
no chance of escape presenting itself, got
up on the porch of house and waited till
the party came up. Enraged that their
thirst for Yankee blood had not been graf
flied, they made Crummil come down to
them, then knocked him on the head with
musket, formed ring, put the dogs in it
and threw him to them. He was terribly
torn, and soon after died Harris and
Cloes were treated in the same way, and
badly torn. Patterson, who was a mere
boy, knelt down and prayed these human
iends not to let the dogs tear him, but to
no purpose. He was forced down, and ON
undertaking to regain the porch was kick
ed in the face, all his front teeth broken
out and he rendered insensible, and in that
state thrown into the ring. The dogs had
satisfied themselves with blood and refused
to touch him. This is only single case
of many which could be related"

WHITE RATs.-Mr Caleb Baldwin, of
East Calm, informs me that short time
since, while hauling in his corn fodder, he
discovered under shock two rats almost
white, which he succeeded in capturing.
He says they are somewhat longer than the
common species of rat and almost entirely
white. There is also one in quarry near
his farm which is entirely white. We
have frequently heard of white mice, but
rats of that color are rare animals. Vest

Whirling about in its maddening fun,

Chasing,
Laughing,
Hurrying by;

And even the dogs. with bark and bound,
Snap at the crystals that eddy around:
The town is alive, and its heart in a glow,
To welcome the coming of beautiful snow!
How wild the crowd goes swaying along,
Hailing each other with humor and song!
How the gay sledges, like meteors fash by,
Bright for the moment, then lost to the eye;
Swinging,
Dashing they go,
Over the crust of the beautiful snow;
Snow so pure when ii falls from the sky,
To be trampled in mud by the crowd rushing by,
To be trampled and tracked by thousands of feet

Fell like the snow flakes, from Heaven to hell;
Fell to be trampled as filth of the street;
Fell TO be scotfed to be spit and beat;

Dreadng TO die,
telling my soul to whoever would buy,
Deang IN shame for morsel of bread,
dating the living and fearing the dead;

Gas AT sixty CENTS PER THOUSAND
CUBIC FEET.-A process has beer discov-
cred in New York by which gas, of a su-
perior quality and high Illuminating pow
er can be generated from naptha, residi.
um of coal oil or petroleum, at cost not to
exceed sixty cents per thousand cubic feet.
The gross matter left after the extraction
of the gas is said to be valuable for many
purposes, and will consequently reduce the
cost of gas below the figure stated above.
The process is described as exceedingly
simple, and requiring very little outlay for
its manufacture. 1t can be, and doubtless
will be, extensively introduced into private
as well as into public buildings. Such is
the confidence expressed in the success of
the discovery, that we understand Mr.. S.
N. Pike, now of New York city, has made
arrangements for its use in lighting the
opera house, where an illustration of its
value will be made at no distant period

The Cotton Gin.

According to statistics furnished by the last
census, it appears that the manufacture of this
article has heretofore been principally confined to
to 81 OF ,3l5; and out OF ffty-fve establishments,
all but three were Southern-sixteen in Alabama
twelve in Georgia, three in Mississippi, and four
in Texas.
In 1892, the year preceding its introduction, the
cotton exported from the Southern States amount
ed to only 13S,328 pounds, the total domestic con-
sumption being about 100000 lbs. The exports
the following year were S COG, goo pounds In 1921 179
to 5,276, 800. In 1860 tho production Of ginned
cotton amounted to 2,O97, ,23O, 300 pounds, being
seven-eghths of the total production OF the whole
globe, Of which 1,765, 49, 735 pounds were ex-
ported.
The cotton gin which produced such vast conse-
quenees to the world, was invented, as is well
known, by Eli Whitney, of Worcester, Massachu-
setts. His attention was called to the subject
while temporarily residing in Savannah, being en-
gagged in teaching q select school. The work was
commenced under the auspices of Mrs. Greene,
widow Of General Greene, and under the most fa-
ney is is too often the with men of genius,
q sad one. The benefits of his invention were felt
in every portion Of the globe, but to him WAS re-
served no reward in q pecuniary point Of view, for
felt to be so great, that the machine was actually
seized and carried off by force from the shed in
which it was constructed. And although he Sc
cured patent, it was infringed on with impunity,
and such was the pressure against him, that lie
After spending the best portion Of his life in
desvoring to secure those rights to which he was
30 justly entitled, he finally received an nppropria-
cancel those obligations contracted through a
protracted careor Of litigation. At an advanced
period in life Mr.. Whitney may be said to have
commenced the world anew, by engaging in the

THE SOUTHERN EPISCOPAL CONVENTION
In tho second year there an Independent
convention Of thc Southern Episcopal Church. 1t
was then resolved 70 meet tronnially, and by
unanimous agreement the next sessions were to
be held next November in Mobile. Tho triumph of
the national arms, however, have so dsaranged
tho plans of tho convention, that preparations
arc being made to meet at the time stated. An
anticipation, that the convention to assemble in
Philadelphia will deal y;ncharitahly with Southern
churchmen, had led come Of tho Southern bishops
to revive the agreement to hold another indepen-
dent convention in Mobile. BY this strategy they
will be enabled to know the temper of the Phila-
delphia body, before agreeing to any terms of
union. In order to effect this plan, misclievous
suggestion has been made that all Southerners
should keep away from the Tricnnia1 Convention
This premature opposition can be overcome by
ratifying the two main acts of the Southern Con-
vontion since the war-the creation of Arkansas
as a new diocese, and the conservation of the
Right Rev. Dr. Wilmer as Bishop Of South Caro-
lima.
FRATERNITY WITH OTHER DENOMINATIONS.
Various other subjects will call forth the atten-
tien Of the convention. The pastoral of Bishop
lshed between Low Church ministers and those
of other denominations viii doubtless create an
animated debate. 1t is stated that n new canon
will be presented in favor of allowing the prac-
tees of which Bishop Potter complained; and those
who know both Houses sufficiently to estimate
their aggregate views on all questions declare that
Bishop Potter's action will be sustained. The
bishop is q favorite with the upper House, who
will doubtless support his action. The majority of
the convention may be classed partially Low
Churchmen, but they have sympathy with the
alleged "doctrinal" radicalism of the denomina-
tions.
COMMUNION WITH THE GUsso-oEEEK CHURCH.
This will be another subject of great contention.
among the house of clerical and lay deputies. The
Greek services which took place in Trinity Chapel
some time since created considerable excitement
in the Low Church branch of Episcopacy. Some
Of the divines Of that branch have maintained that
the Greek service is, virtually, the Raman Catho-
Lie mass, and that trHe fellowship with the Greek
Church cannot be effected, except Mt the expense
of the leading doctrines of the Episcopal Church.
The committee who have been charged with the
duty of considering the feasibility of communion
between the Episcopal and Russo-Greek Churches,
will present report the subject to the conven-
ton. The committee consists Of Bishops Williams
and Whitehouse, Rev. nrs. Thrall and Mahan,
Rev. Dr. J. +. Young, and Messrs. Samuel B. Rug
giles and S. Elliott.
These are the principal questions to be decided
by the convention.
