NEW PUBLICATIONS.

THE XIX CENTURY for May is at hand,
and is in every respect q model number.
This magazine has already attained a high
position among the serial publications OF
the day, and is gradually and steadily
working its way into the affections and
good wishes of the Southern people in
every section of the land. II is high
toned, and elevating in its character, its
design being to foster and promote litera-
ture in the South, and to offer to our
people a medium through which they
may be enabled to communicate their
thoughts and feelings, and also to show
TO the world that the South, however
poor she may be in worldly wealth, is
abundantly rich in the possession Of
many of the best authors and scholars of
the age, and It will be the object aud de-
sign OF the XIX Century to bring promi-
nently forward the most deserving and
able writers that can be found in the
Southern country. With the June num-
Der it enters on the second year of its ex-
istence, n we are glad to know that a
long and prosperous career seems open
for it.

dread CAST UPON THR WATERs,"-
If the Great Providence has not literally
cast bread upon the waters, He has plant
ed the elements of wholesome nourish-
ment on the rocks, in the shape of Sea
Moss, from which the SEA Moss FARINE
is made. This new article has everywhere
won golden opinions OF all sorts Of pso-
ple," and the housekeepers nt the land
generally regard it in the double light of
a staple necessary and a delicious luxury;
for while its use lessons the Expense Of
living, the exquisite dishes prepared from
1t cannot be obtained even at an e~xtrava-
CANT cost, from any other source. Scien-
tific committees, hotel keepers, profess
sional cooks, ladies who superintend their
ewn kitchens; physicians, nurses, dys-
peRtiOs aud inFalids of every class bear
witness of these facts. To this mass of
Endorsements we unhesitatingly add our
own; and, without fear of contradiction,
say that the blanc mango, buildings,
eustards, ETC., are the most delicious we
have eyer tasted.

COUNTY COURT.
Contest for Iustices-.Ths Matter to be
Decided To-day.

In the contest between s. A. Moore and
W. L. Stewart vs.. J. T. Elliott and j. f.
Burke, contestants for Justices OF the
Fourteenth Civil District, which has oecu-
pied the County Court for several days,
the testimony and the argument of coun-
sci were concluded on yesterday, and the
court took the case under sdvisement
until this morning, whom g decision will
be rendered. In view of the facts and the
law involved In the case, no fears are en-
tertained on the part of the friends Of the
compliments. Many important develop
ments ave been made in the investiga-
ton of this Ease which may be infiuen-
tial in the contest for sheriff, if such is
had. The shrewdness displayed by the
Radicals in stocking the polls with Radi-
cal judges, clerks and officers, where
those appointed failed to be on time, will
serve for a lesson to Democrats hereafter.
1t is hoped that our friends will profit by
this sad experience, and henceforth have
promptly Ontbes spot judges, clerks and off,
GERS who will do their duty; see that none
but those entitled to vote shall cast a bal
lot, and, IL possible, preserve the purity
of the ballot box. This can only be done
by enforcing rigidly the law which re-
quires every mar to vote in his own
ward or district. The object of this law
was a good contemplating everyone to
vote where his right thereto would be
best known to the Judges.

A BURGLAR CAPTURED.- Yestorday morn
Ing, about 8 O'Clock, as Sergeant seibold
and Officers Conway and Dyson were going
their rounds, they discovered through tho
dim mist man carrying O largo bundle
proceeding along L street. The sergeant
remarking that IL looked suspicious, called
upon the party 70 stop, but no started 10
run, dfoppiug his bundle In his digit. Tho
oificer discharged his revolver to cause him
10 halt, but instead of decreasing his speed
appeared TO increase, throwing OF his per-
son as he ran an oyercoat, undercoat and
one vest. oficers Conway and Dyson finally
oyerhauled him, when he gave the name or
Thomas Vowles, who for some time past
has been residing on Seventh street, between
r and 8 streets. On searching his person
q full exit" Of burglars tools were found In
his possession. Tho bundle was found 70
contain y large amount OF silver plate and
jewelry, worth about $500. N.a q
The initials on the plate led the officers 70
believe that II belonged 10 Colonel Richard
McAllister, living on q street, between
Fourteenth and Fifteenth. Inquiry proved
tholr suspicious correct, as the house had
boon entered evidently by an experienced
burglar, who effected an entry through tho
cellar into the yard, and then, with pair Of
"nippers,n the key Of the back door was
turned. After packing up his "swag," the
thief departed by the side door Of tho resi-.
dence. w

tlce Wall, he was sent 10 Jail for court, pre-
vlous to which, however, his picture was
