The HAMBURG AND AUGUSTA War;
We have already alluded to the prospective
war between the dusky citizens of the classic
town of Hamburg and the City Council of
Augusta, Ga. The trouble was caused by tho
recent ordinance of the City Council of Au,
gusta, requiring foot passengers on the city
bridge TO pay toll AS a kind of retaliation,
the doughty warrior "Prince Rivers" who
has been to Columbia as law.maker, and
who is therefore not afraid of Ku-Kluxes is
sued an ukase ordering the arrest and impris-
onmcnt of all COWS from Augusta caught in
Hamburg until their owners forked over the
sum of five dollars for each COW captured.
This was measure Of retaliation, framed with
devilish cunning and ingenuity; for many,
many Ku Klux COWS have been in the habit
of daily vending their way across the Savau-
nah, and have found no pasture so sweet or
so tempting rs that afforded by tho verdant
marshes of Hamburg.
On Sunday, says the Chronicle, the panic
struck COW owners discussed the measure,
but no line of policy could be agreed upon,
some being in favor of resistance, while 9TH
ers counscllcd submission. On yesterday
more serious threat was reported to have been
made. Parties stationed near tho bridge.
state that they overheard negro named
John Williams, say that if the foot toll was
not removed by next Thursday that the bridge
would be burned This Williams is the door
keeper or Sergeant alarms of the South
Carolina Legislature, and is the same fellow
who attempted to cross tho bridge without
paying, last week. but was forced to shell out
before he was allowed to proceed. Other
colorcd bclligorent Hamburghcrs declare that
they seriously intend to set up a toll gate. on
their sdo Of the bridge.
The Chronicle adds, Gin the meantime,
we presume that our navy will be gotten rea-
dy for use as speedily as possible, so that if
Hamburg decides upon civil war, the village
may bo bombsrded at moments warning.

Sixty FIVE THOUSAND WOMEN DRUNK.
AnDs,-In New York city, for the last ten
years, 10000 persons, GG,629 were men
and G5,674 women, were committed to the
city prisons for intoxication alone. Accord
ing to the City Inspectors report, from 1851
to 1852, there were 1922 deaths caused by
intcmpcrance, and from that period to tho
3lst of December, 1868, they amounted to
2,170.
In 1862, out of 1867 committed, there
1887 women, and 1920 men. Reports
of the city prison shows that women arc much
more incorrigiblc than men.
1t may be said that these women belonged
to "the lower class" No matter what
"class" they belonged to, they were women
posscssors of immortal souls. 1t ia fearful to
contemplate the havoc that intomporauoe is
making among the sex.
There is reason to believe that indulgence,
even to excess, in intoxicating beverages,
prevails among women III what is styled
''high life" And yet some of our young wo-
men who have had Christian education,
and some of our older women who have suffer
ed from tho intcmperance Of husbands, sons,
or brothers, will continue to indulge, in what
they call "modcratc drining." Whence
come the recruits to the ranks Of drunkcpncss ?

IT is certainly within the memory of

consisted alone of the fiber of the plant

bought such in those times, they were not

of more than a quarter of their weight
with foreign matters, among which fine
white clay holds so prominent place.
Our wall papers were then considered
heavy enough, and our writing and print
ing papers had sufficient body without
such noticeable dressings of kaolin, and
the products of the workings of clay de-
posts were turned into their legitimate
application for the production of porce-
lain and white stone ware. Preferring to
grind our own coffee, the cup was drank
without the after.thought that chicory and
-dandelion- root, and rye were essential ell

{" irregularities"

THE Boston Transcript says: A few
days since, at an examination of the mas
ter's class at one of our public schools for
boys, at the South End, the lads had been
asked several questions regarding bank
discounts, interest'and notes, which they
had promptly answered correctly. A
member of the School Committee then
said: "You seem to understand all about
bank discounts, interests, notes, etc. now,
/ want to ask you the meaning of bank
term which may not be down in your text
books. What is meant by the term which
we read of so often called bank irregu-
laritiesr" To this question one of the
boys Immediately replied; "If poor
man wrongfully takes a small amount Of
anything 1t is called stealing, and he ID
punished, If bank officer steals large
amount of money, it is called an irregular
ity and he is not punished" Was not the
boy right in his answers"
