Quinn and "Morton House."


To-day we would say a few words
about Quinn,-about D. Quinn-about
Mr.. Daniel Quinn, the enterprising News
Dealer of Augusta, Butreally Mr.. Quinn
should no longer be spoken of as mere
News Dealer, for his establishment in
Augusta is now veritable depot ofLit
eratG-e and the Fine Arts. We have Of
ten said it before, and now we say it
again with still moro earnestness, that
Quinn's is the most entertaining and al
Turing place in all Augusta. And as to
Quinn himself, we have long ago made
up our mind that he is the most straight
forward, obliging, generous man in the
world; and should we ever meet one
more so, we shall Immediately give him
the fatal blow, as q duty We owe our
friend just mentioned. AS to telling of
The delightful Magazines, Reviews, Fash

will make some mention. Morton
House" is by the author Of "Valerie
.Aylmer," which everybody in the South
read, and liked and praised. And Ger
yainly as the first work Of a young girl,
it gave great promise. This young girl,
is Miss Fisher Of North Carolina--the
daughter of a Confederate Colonel who
pcrished in the war. Miss Fisher is
now teaching and writing. In "Morton
House, Miss Fisher march is still
bravcly onward. 1t is story which it
is impossible to read without the most
intense interest and vivid sympathy. In
short we ca, assure all our friends that
Morton House" is worth reading for
nearly every reason for which novel IS
worth reading at all.

We learn from the Laurensville
Ueraltl that the Gin house of Mr.. w. j.
Bryson, of that county, containing about
nine bales of cotton, was consumed by
fire, together with the contents, few
mornings since-the result of accident.
Mr.. Bryson was ginning cotton before
daylight, and placed lighted candle on
the floor near the lint room; the candle
falling over, communicated fire to the
lint room, and soon enveloped the house
in flames, causing total loss of all the
cotton, amounting, together with the
house and machinery, to over $1,000

Col Cothran is native South Carolinian,

a good one, and we cannot but anticipate
that President Cothran will seek to push

afterlong delay, and heart-sickening sus-
pense on the part of the people, at last
arrived in New York. He is tall, fair,
manly, handsome, and wears blonde

children, but particularly women, stand
for hours upon hours in the mud. rain

would shed blood to touch the hem OF
his garment-be, it coat, pants, or shirt.
His reception was fearfully splendid.
And he has already been to Washington
and visited Mr.. and Mrs. Grant, who
put on their best clothes, and no doubt
tried to look easy and affable. And
now he is back in New York where the
grandest ball ever seen in this country

MoRNoS. ELDERS OPINIoN.-A Nor
mon elder, native of Maine, who has
been identified with the Church of Latter
Day Saiyts for twenty years or more, COM
municates TO the Portland Press some in
teresting statements as to the probable
Mormon policy in the present crisis Of their
affairs. The elder gives it as his opinion
that the present troubles will be peaceably
settled in one of two ways Brigham
Young proposes to test the legality OF the
prosecutions that have been set on foot in
the Supreme Court of the United States:
If the decision is against him, it is hoped
an arrangement can be effected by which
all marriage contracts already made can
be legitimated; or at least remain Ccd,s-
turbed, on condition that no more poly
gamous marriages are permitted. The
other alternative, to be resorted to in case
the compromise is rejected either by the
Mormons or the Government, is the aban-
donment of Utah and the building of a
Lew city beyond the limits of the United
States. For this the Mormons are fully
prepared, though they confidently hope
TO escape the terrible necessity of another
exodus

certainly doubled the yield, making on or
dinary lands three bales to every four acres
on which it was nsed. In some test rows
an equal weight of Phosphate, with two
other fertilizers costing nearly double the
money, produced more cotton. There was
no rust on the Cotton under which the
Phosphate was used, except en- few small
spots of wet. springy lard, whilst the Cot
ton under which the other more costly fer
tilizers were, rusted early. and badly.
