'o,m1issionthe Company and the Lessees,
co operJed in the appointment OF an
Agent jin the person of Mr.. z. n.
Leigh,to visit each of the Bondholders
in ne bn, and explain the necessity OF
nron,t action on their part. and to re-,
reiyI and receipt for the Coupons, and
deniit the same with Mr.. Butler.
y. Leigh has been energetica1ly and
eeiently engaged in this service since
tpust last. and will, he thinks, be able
! make his final report WITHIN a few
Avs, and if it should appear as it
doubtless willy that majority in in
Ierest have consummated the agreement
by depositing the deferred Coupons with
Mr.. Butler, we will then direct that pro
vision be made Immediately, for the
payment of the Coupons hat matured
IN November last, and we feed warranted
in saying that the Lessees viii comply.
We. therefore, submit. that neither
this Company nor us Lessees are in de
fault as is evidenced by the employ
ment of Mr.. Leigh Fl t"ef own expense
to aid the Bondholters to execute their
part of said aguemeht i II order that
thew, the Compay, or its Lessees nigh.
be legally place in position to execute
theirs which hey have always been
ready 10 do.
By referepe to our last annual re.
mort it will b seen that we stated, "that
aood faith IS characterized the action
Of the Leses thus far; and as all OF the
nar,ies colposing the Southern Railroad
A ssociatbtare gentlemen Of high stand
inc in soety, and are men of wealth
and compnding influence in financial
matters, v may confidently expect a
conlipuancof good faith" This state
ment. andn this connection, it is now
our please to reiter.te with emphasis.

Scenes at Wiesbaden.

The famous capital of the Duchy of Mas
sau is situated about six miles east of the
Rhine, and twenty north of the Main, and
contains population of nearly twenty-one
thousand inhabitants. 1t is everywhere
known as a city of hot springs, hotels,
boarding houses, public parks, broad aven-
ues, fountains, fish-ponds, shady groves,
delightful walks, one of the chief Watering
places of Germany. A few miles east is
IIomberg. in the Duchy of HeSsc- Homberg.
and farther up the Rhine is Baden Baden,
so called to distinguish it from another Ba-
den i'll Switzerland These three towns
are noted as places where public gaming
tables arc established by the grand dukes
of the several States Gustave Dore, the
greatest of living French artists, has repro
duded ''Scene at Wiesbaden,' i'll 4 great
picture now on exhibition at Paris, attract
ing much attention by its wonderful por-
trayal of characteristic play of conflicting
passions under the excitement of the gam
tng-table. The same scene has recently
been depicted by 90 Carleton, y i'll an admir-
able letter to the Boston Journal, from
which we extract the following graphic
passages:
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1869-07-03
SOmebody'H Come Tonight.

| must bind my hair with the mystic bough,
And gem it with buds of white
And drive this blush from my burning brow,
For somebody'll come tonight:
And while his eyes shall discern grace
In the braid and the folded flower,
He must not find in my tell-tale face
The spell of his wondrous power
| must don the robe which he fondly calls
y clond of enhancing light, falls,
And sit where the mellowing moonlight
For somebody'll come tonight
And while the robes and the place shall seem
But the veriest freak of chance.
It's sweet to know that his eye will beam,
With tender, happier glance.
Twas thus sang when the years were few
That lay on my girlish head,
And all the flowers that in fancy grew
Were tied with a golden thread There
And somebody came, and the whispers
| cannot repeat them quite
But | know my soul went up in prayer,
And somebody's here tonight.
! blush no more at the whispered VOW,
Nor sigh in the soft moonlight
My robe has tint of amber now,
AS | sit by my anthracite;
And the locks that We'd with glossy wren,
Have passed to silver gray; then,
But the love that decked them with flowers
Is holier love to-day.

a." SunstrOke."

Lightning strikes, and with terrible en-
ergy tears, melts, and destroys whatever
would obstruct its passage; but properly
speaking, the sun does no such thing. No
sudden beam darts with resstless force to
smite the unfortunate person who may be
exposed to the sunshine. What is called
sunstroke is really prostration from OK
cessive heat, and it may occur in any over
heated apartment i'll the shade as well as in
the sunshine. Persons enfeebled by drink
ing, by over eXertion, or other causes which
lessen the strength, are most liable to be
thus effected. During the hot weather of
July, last year, when more than two hum
bred persons died from this cause, in New
York alone. in single week, it was OBJ
served that a very large majority were of
Incorporate habits. Confirmed teetotallers
were exempt. No temperance lecture could
be stronger. Usually there are symptoms
of prostration by heat, occurring in time
to avoid fatal result. Trembling, faint
ness, inability to move. and a 81 mixing feel
ing, usually prcccde the more marked eff
fccts. When any such feelings are exper-
fenced during extreme heat, all exertion
should be instantly stopped, and the person
lie down in the shade at once until entirely
relieved. Cold water or ice applied to the
head, and some stimulant administered
with judgement, will aid in recovery. Pre-
vention is not difficult. All excess in food.
drink, or'exercise, and much excitement of
any kind, should be especially avoided,
when the mercury in the thermometer
marks 80 degrees or upward. Ifwork must
he done, a cabbage leaf orwet handkerchief
placed in the top of the hat will serve a
good purpose.

DIAMONCs.-Diamonds were first discov-
cred in Brazil, in 1929, by Portuguese,
Fonseca Lopo, who was not even aware of
the Importance of his discovery until GER
tain Dutch traders, to whom he had showed
his pebbles, at once contracted with the
Portuguese government for the monopoly
of all the raw diamonds they might find in
Brazil. From this contract they derived
enormous profits. The territory in which
this precious article is found is forty-four
miles in length and twenty-five in breadth
1t is called Terro de Flo, and is surrounded
by mountains which long concealed it from
Europeans. Since the mines have again
become the property of the State of Bra
iii, the Dutch have not quite lost their
monopoly, they being extremely skillful in
the art of cutting diamonds, and being
possessed of all the requisite machinery for
the purpose. The operation causes the
stone to loose half it's weight, and is per-
formed by wheels which make fully two
thousand five hundred revolutions per min
ute. Upwards of ten thousand workmen
are engaged in Amsterdam in this business,
which annually produces ten million of
francs.

Old woman. do not dye thy hair:
Old fogy, from thine hodry head.
Repel the darkening wash; a snare
Contrivcd with deleterious lead.
1c who are prematurely gray,
sc dyes, and know not what YOU do.
May brush in mercury, and NAV
BE prematurly toothless too.
1t may not harm the blood of man
If liquid iron the scalp's pores drink,
And then the head with juice of tan,
BE washed, and SO renewed with ink.
Or say that your blanched locks restore
To something near their pristine hue
Like faded clothes; upon them pour
The old reviver black and blue.
But mind that all the salts of Mars
On linen leave rusty stain;
\ bosom S front adorned with stars
Or reddish brown, there may remain.
The walnut's liquor will afford
To grizZled hair a safe disguise,
With that from time to time restored
1t might be, rather than with dyes.
And there are mushrooms which do yield
A ketchup that would serve as we'll;
Go, seek them in the pasture field,
Along the borders of the dell.
But better will you leave the pate
To grow, as Nature wills it white,
Your aged face, that doth not mate
With raven fringe's a sorry sight.
Which if you don't, old fools, discern,
Whilst you betray yourselves unwise,
All who behold you thence will learn
How much have likewise failed youreyes
Attention to the heads inside
With more good will repay your pains;
Philosophy of health, applied,
May help you to preserve your brains
