In O Peck OF Trouble.

Our Savannah neighbors seem 10 be sadly
in need OF municipa! reform. A correspon-
dent OF the Morning Neaus informs that jour
nal that the bonded debt OF Savannah is
nearly three millions, while the taxable prop.
erty OF the city is valued at less than fifteen
millions The gross expenses and expendi-
lures of the City OF Savannah for the past
three years amount to very nearly eight mil
lion dollars, and the excited taxpayers cry
out for immediate retrenchment. Savannah,
in q municipal sense, is as hard up as
Charleston, but, at least, she ha lad re-
spectacle city government, which We shall
not get until the first week in November.

The Darlington Fair.

The Darlington County Fair will be held at
the Courthouse on the 4th and 5th October.
We are informed by The secretary that the
Cheraw and Darlington Railroad carries, free
Of charge, articles intended for exhibition,
and that the Wilmington and Augusta Rail-
road carries them at half rates. The pas
senger fares have been reduced on both
roads. Ample accommodations are provided,
at the Fair Grounds, for stock, produce and
machinery, and care has been taken TO con-
suit the convenience OF exhibitors as well as
the pleasure OF the public. On the opening
day General E. NJ. Law will deliver an ora
ton, and on the second day The premiums
will be awarded. Darlington evidently in
tends to show OF what stuff her good cili-
zens are made.

A Hoax Of the First Water.

The tdalwave prediction, which struck
terror into the souls OF the old ladies OF both
sexes, especially along the Gulf coast, is
rehash OF sensational dish prepared for an
other locality and another season. An old
naval officer in the English service was the
original seer, and announced that the mighty
wave would submerge the coast OF Albion on
October S, 1869. A paper on the subject ap-
peared in the London Daily Nears OF Sep
tember 27, 1869, which speaks OF the anx-
ious questionings which the subject has
awakened, and shows that there was no
cause for the alarm felt. The paper is from
the pen Of Professor r. A. Proctor, who said
that on the 5lh Of October OF the year in
question the sun and moon would be in such
position as to be favorable for the production
Of high spring tides. "But, after all, he
adds, ''high tides depend very Importantly
con other considerations than astronomical
zones" He then speaks of a predicted high
tide.some two years before, which turned
out 10 be very Insignificant affair. AS for
predicted weather changes, any length OF
time in advance, he regards them as 'mere
''moonshine," and altogether unreliable
This article from the London NeacS is repro
duced entire in Proctor's work, entitled
'Iight Science for Leisure Hours, from
which work, when it appeared In the North,
the new tidal-wave story was undoubtedly
manufactured. The scene was changed to
this side OF the Atlantic, and Agassiz, a
'sheavy swelp' in science, became its puta-
tive parent. There is, however, positive
proof that Agassiz made no such prediction,
and any one who new feels alarm, in conse-
quence OF the mythical prophecy, will, on or
about the 7th proximo, confess that his cour-
age was cooled by hoax OF the first water

Cash VS.. Credit.

The Wilmington Journal reduces its SUBJ
scription price to IS year, and gives no.
tice that it will require that all subscriptions
be paid in advance. This is the way TO make
money. A newspaper which is afraid to in
sist upon prepayment has no confidence in
its own strength, and flabhy journals, as tie
public know, are not worth the postage.
These journals throw in long-credit as bribe
to reluctant public, and make up their sub
scription list OF folk who don't intend to pay,
and folk who cant. Neither class, we may
venture to remark, will support live and
vigorous paper.

A Male Actress.

Women were not allowed on the
stage until after the restoration
OF Charles Ii. yet, when they were,
the stage could not Immediately be
supplied with them, and for some time
there was necessity for the retention
OF the handsome youths who had pre-
viously played the female parts. Of
these actors, kynastOn is said to have
worn the petticoats with infinite grace
and success, although at times he met
with untoward accidents in his as
sumptions. Cibber relates that on
one occasion "the King fCharles)
coming little before his usual time
to the tragedy, found the actors not
ready to begin, when not choosing to
have as much patience as his good
subjects, sent to them to know the
meaning of it; upon which the mas
ter OF the company came to the box,
and rightly judging that the best ex-
cuse for their default would be the
true one, fairly told his Majesty that
the Queen" was not shaved vet.
The King, whose good humor loved to
laugh at jest, as well as to make
one, accepted the excuse, which SER
we'd to divert him, till the male queen
could be effeminated. In word,
kynaston, at that time, was so beau
tifll a youth, that the ladies of quality
prided themselves in taking him in
their coaches to Hyde Park, in his
theatrical habit, after the play which,
in those days, they might have suf-
fieient time to do, because plays were
used to begin at four O'clock Kynas-
ton afterward became as excellent an
actor OF male parts as he had been of
female characters in his adolescence.

HARPER's PERIODICALS.
HARpER'S MAGAZINE.

No more delightful travels are printed in
the English language than appear perpetual
ly in Harper's Magazine. They are read with
equal interest and satisfaction by boys of
every age, from eighteen to eighty.
Its scientific papers, while sufficiently pro-
found to demand the attention of the learn
ed, are yet admirably adapted to the popu-
lar understanding, and designed as much to
diffuse correct information concerning cur
rent scientific discovery as it could be if it
was the organ of the Society for the Diffu-
sion of Useful knowledge"
The great design of Harper's is to give cor
rect information and rational amusement to
the great masses of people. There are few
intelligent American families in which Har-
per's Magazine would not be an appreciated
and highly welcome guest.
There is no monthly magazine that an in
telligent reading family can less afford to be
without. Many magazines are accumulated.
Harper's is edited. There is not a cheaper
magazine published. There is not confess
edly a more popular magazine in the world
Neic England Homestead.
The most popular in its scheme, the most
original of our magazines.

blowing was not good in light soil, or
that guano was better than bone dust,
he was "a liar, a villain and slave u
Of course the Emperor also immediate
" declared wax, and became an ally
of Russia and of England, with which
latter country Mr.. Greeley had actual
ly begun hostilities already, because
the Queen, in her speech from the
throne, had declared the Tribane's adj
vocacy of tariff on pig iron incendi-
ary, and calculated to disturb the peace
of nations.
Unhappily, this was not the full
measure of our disasters. The Presi-
dent had sent to the Emperor of Aus
tria copy of his book, What /
know" ETC., with his autograph upon
a fly-leaf. The Emperor mistook the
signature for caricature of the Aus
TRAN eagle, and readily joined in the
war against the United States; while
France was provoked to the same act
by the fact that when the French Min
lister came to call upon Mr.. Greeley to
present his credentials, the President,
who was writing an editorial at the
time, not comprehending the French
language, mistook the Ambassador for
beggar, and without looking up
handed him quarter of a dollar and
an order for clean shirt, and said to
him, $50 west, young man, go west"
SO all these nations joined in MAX
ing war upon the United States. They
swooped down upon our coasts and
landed without opposition, for those
exposed portions of our unfortunate
country were absolutely deserted. The
President was afraid to call away the
army from Kansas at first, for fear the
outraged people upon the plains would
come East in spite of him. But at
last he did summon the army to his
aid, and it moved to meet the enemy.
1t was too late. Before the troops had
reached Cincinnati the foreign invad-
ers seized Washington and all the
country east of the Ohio, hung the
President and his Cabinet, and every
member of Congress. The army dis
banded in alarm, and the foreigners
moved to the far West, where they
found the population dying of starya-
ton because they had followed the
advice of Greeley's book, to "Try, for
your first crop, to raise lines; and do
not plant more than bushel of quick
lime in a hill.n Of course, these suf-
fering people were at the mercy of the
enemy, who-to his credit be it said
treated them kindly, fed them, and
brought them back to their old homes.
You know what followed the
Prince Frederick William, of Prussia,
assembled the American throne, and
the numerous other humiliations that
ensued. 1t was fearful blow to re-
publicanism-a blow from which it
will never recover. 1t made us, who
were freemen, a nation of slaves. 1t
was all the result of our blind conf
dence in a misguided old man, who
imagined himself a philosopher, but
who was actually fool. May Heaven
/ preserve you, my children, from the
remorse feel when / remember that

versed amicably together, while some
complacently picked their teeth.
Here, then, we have a luminous ex-
position of the real motive for the mill
itary movement, and the profundity
of it is truly amazing.
The military lambkins ganiboled
around and did not use their bayonets
or shotted mnskets, and the Gatlin
guns were quite disposed to be ami
cable.
They were not there to intimidate
or overawe, but to look on as specta-
tors. This explanation from the in
genious Dunn, however, is not quite
satisfactory, inasmuch as ON his own
showing, it looks decidedly unmihtary
to transport soldiers, at the public ex-
pense, hundreds of miles, merely to
look through the windows and pick
their teeth, or frolic like lambs.

The BiyOuac of the Dead,

BY THEODORE OHARA.
The muffled drums sad roll has beat
The soldiers last tattoo;
No more on life's parade shall meet
That brave and fallen few.
On fames eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread,
And glory guards, with silent round,
The biyouac of the dead.
No rrrmor of the foes advance
Now swells upon the wind;
No troubled thought at midnight haults
Of loved ones left behind;
No vision of the morrow's strife
The warriors dread alarms;
Nor braying horn, nor screaming fife
At dawn shall call TO arms.
Their shivered swords are red with rust,
Their plumed crests are bowed
Their naughty banner, trailed in dust,
Is now their martial shroud
And plenteous funeral tears have washed
The red stains from each brow,
And the proud forms by battle gashed
Are free from anguish now.
The neighing troop, the flashing blade,
The bugles stirring blast;
The charge, the dreadful eann0nade,
The din and shout are past;
Nor wars wild note, nor glory's peal
Shall thrill with fierce delight
Those breasts that never more may feel
The rapture OF the fight.
