1t is a rather curious fact that most OF
the correspondence of the Scientific
AmeTican IL from the Southern States. In
the last number every letter is from the
far South, except one from baltimore,
This shows an awakening to scientific re-
search in our section hat we are glad to
see.
Frank Monroe, ESQ, of the Milan
Tunes, is in the city, and win call on many
Of our merchants to-day. Those who
would make themselves known in the
rich district of country in which the
7F8aes is a potent exponent of interest and
opinion, should not fail to resort to its
intervention in achieving their purposes.
Down in the region where the crops
have beer parchsd up by the dry weather,
an old deacon recently prayed for rain
thus: 80 Lord, we pray for rsini Not a
tearin', drivin' rain, such as barrers up
the face of natur, but a drizzlin', sozzlin'
rain, such as lasts all day, and pretty
much all night"
Pose Marrish's Bulletin says that
Colonel John s.. Kerr, one of Shelby's
best, a tried and true member of the
Democratic party, is spoken of as q suita-
bic candidate to reprerent that District In
the State Senate. He is the a for the
position. Send him on" Pose an
nounces his purpose to attend the convo-
cation of editors at brownsville on to-

That was a profound philosopher who
compared advertising to a growing crop.
He said: 1.-The farmer plants his seed,
and while be is sleeping the corn is grow
ing. So with advertising. While you
are sleeping or eating your advertisement
is being read by thousands of persons who
never saw you or heard of your business,
nor never would, had it not beer for your
advertising"
"A dangerous counterfeit ~ifty-eent
fractional currency note of the new issue
has just been put in circulation. 1t close
" resembles the genuine. The paper
used in the genuine is pink tinted. The
counterfeit is slightly greenish in color,
and the face is somewhat blurred. The
words fractional currency" and stamps
are darkly shaded, which is not the case
in the genuine. There is also q difference
in the back of the notes.
1t has been found that the hyposul-
phate Of soda, which is now manufactured
very cheaply for the use OF photographers,
is much better than the common washing
soda TO wash delicate objects. It attacks
neither the skin of the hands nor the OBJ
jects to be washed, as does the common
washing soda; and at the same time it il
an effective bleaching agent, and takes
out many spots better than any other sub
stance.
The August meteors, of which we
hear much, and have thus far this year
seen little, are independent bodies revolv-
ing round the sun in obedience to the
laws of gravitation. AS the sun passes
through the meteoric stream, many of the
meteors, coming in contact with the at
mOsphere, ignite, and, burning up before
our eyes, form the spectacle so well
known as falling or shooting stars. Their
number is beyond comprehension; their
velocity is immense, averaging thirty-fve
miles a second.
The New Orleans Times saws: 1.-THE
longest-lived people in the world appear
to be French generals. Think of Bsra-
quay d'Hilliers growing furious under his
seventy-five wears at not being sent to the
front; Changarnier at seventy-seven ls-
menting, in a published card, his bitter
sorrow at not receiving a command; and,
lastly, the old Duke Montemart offering
s-,--n 81 FL G.#T.---. I -
in the First Dragons The patriotic
faith Of such irsscible old gentlemen has
something sublime in it."
Vincent Botto, who is the proprietor
of the well known former bar-room OF
Madame Vincent, corner of Front and
Washington streets, keeps q stock of
liquors, wines and cigars equal to the best
houses in the city; and he waits upon his
customers with a cheeriulness, and pays
them such attention that he has succeeded
in retaining much of the old custom and
adding a great dealthat is new. We COM
mend him to all thirsty, bibulous souls.
He offers an inducement in a splendid
and enticing lunch every day.
"A couple of little girls were heard on
street, yesterday evening, discuss
the war in Europe. They were di-
vided in opinion as to the result-one
maintaining that the French would
whip, - and the other that the "Dutch
lick" After many pros and cons,
he latter settled the matter by a clincher:
1 know that the Dutch viii lick the
French. Ny pa is a Frenchman and my
is a Dutchmsn. They fight every
night, anC my ma always hcks my pa"

allowed to 90 to the house of a relation
where she remained all day. The young
