to be noted. Among other things, fountain

under the stage, whence its strains, mutfied by
distance, will come to the ears of the audience
with subdued effect. Ninety thousand dollars
has been spent to ft the theatre up.

An OLD CHuRcH.-Thc Old South Church,
at Boston, which has stood for one hundred and
forty-three years, and which was saved by the
exertions of the fremen, during the recent ex.
tensiye conhagration, has undergone varied
experience of vicissitudes of life. During the
occupation of Boston by the British army, it
was used successively as barracks, as stables,
and as theatre, by the English officers. Du-
ring the late civil war, it was used as recruit
ing station, and after the recent fire 1t was
again occupied as barracks, by the troops en-,
gagged in patroling the streets OF the burned %
at last Welded to the march of improvement,
and will probably never more be used for re-
licious purposes. 1t has just been leased to
the United States, for Post Office, and the
work of reconstructing the interior for the ac,
commodation and distribution of tho mails will
soon be commenced.

The close Of the Cotton Picking Season.

.,.F.- = I y. - =
The cotton picking season this year com
menced earlier and continued longer than
usual, and may generally be regarded as one oil
the most favorable that has ever occurred.
The earliness of the season is attributed to the
increased use of fertilizers, which produce the
effect of maturing the crop two weeks IN ad-
vance of the usual time. But the weather was
superb from first to last throughout the entire
cotton area. and there were few days when it
was necessary to suspend picking. A slight
frost in Georgia month ago did more good
than harm, as it helped to open the bolls with
out iniuring the staple. It was not unit! the
middle of November that there was any dam
aging frost, and even then it was not general
in ali the Southern States Even as it was it
arrived too late to do any harm. 1t may be
safely affirmed that there were absolutely little
or no losses this year from inability to gather
the crop. Every pound of cotton that could be
picked was picked, and there can be no DOUBT
that i'the unusually favorable picking season
went far toward compensating tor the losses
occasioned by worms and weather during, the
last few weeks or months OF summer. Ihere
was plenty of time for the crop to mature, and
plenty of time to pick it. The circumstances
were also favorable for ginning, and the late a;
rains increased the navigable capacity of the
rivers, so that the vast quantities piled along
their banks could all be shipped.
It also appears that planters, whether owing
tn nolitical causes or not it is scarcely worth
while to inquire, also manifested unusual &C
tiyity in pushing the crops to market. The
news of the burning Of great many gin
houses in South Carolina may also have con-
tributed as much as the unexceptionably high
nrice at this season to induce planters to avoid
the risks of housing their crops. These and
other obvious causes will account for the very
MANY receipts at all the Southern ports,
amounting, on the 18th of November, to total
of sS7 .5SS bales, being an increase OF no less
than 22O, $3.50 bales over the corresponding pc
riod last wear. and SS, $50 more than in 1870.
Thns IL will be seen that an unusually large
proportion of the crop has already come for
ward, but exactly what proportion, OF course,
cannot be determined, rs knowledge OF the
precise quantity remaining in planters hands
IS manifestly impossible, and is only subject
Of speculation. It may be safely concluded,
however. that the actual receipts of this crop
oreS sch more satisfactory than was anticipa-
ted the commencement OF the picking sea-
son so though falling considerably below the
expectations that were warranted until towards
the close of the growing season. 1t Is always
favorable sign when the Southern papers ab,
stain from complaints about cotton, and it is
remarkable that on this point we were wholly
unable to discover any evidence Of dissatisfac
ton during the entire picking season'-Ne"

a ROMANCE OF THE ROTHsCHILDs.-The
London correspondent of the New York World
says that the very uppermost circles OF society
are agitated by a report of the imminence of
an extremely unusual and startling event. A
daughter of one of the Rothschilds is about to
be married to poor man, and this poor man
is a Christian! The young lady who is thus
about to break with the traditions Of her fami-
ly and disregard the teachings of her religion
is, the daughter of Sir Anthony Rothschild,
and the man upon whom she is resolved to be-
stow her fortune and her heart is the Hon. Mr..
Yorke, son of the Earl Of Hardwcke. I
hasten TO nip in the bud the sympathy with
which this news may be received by members
of the Society for the Propagation of the Cos
pei among the Jews by adding that Miss Roths-
child is not converted" and that she is not
goirg to embrace Christianity, nor to renounce
her own religion. She will remain Jewess,
and her husband will continue to be at least
nominally a Christian. The disapproval with
which the aged and excellent Baronct, her
father. regards the match is said to be increased
by his failure to discover in his prospective
beaufls any qualities either of head or heart
which could Justify or even excuse what he re-
cards as his daughters nfatuation, but then it
must be remembered that he is not in love
with Mr.. Yorke and that his daughter is and
this makes all the difference in the world. The
Rothschilds have long formed a sort of royal
family of their own-intermarrying only with
their cousns-and it is said that every possible
means of persuasion have been brought to bear
in vain upon this young lady to induce her to
abandon her resolve. The reluctant consent
of her father, or rather the withholding of his
nositiye prohibition of the marriage, has at
last been obtained, and the marriage, it is said,
will soon be celebrated.

A Curious Murder Trial.

Probably the most novel and original termi-
nation of proceedings against a man for mur-
der that is on record occurred in California last
month, and was briefly mentioned in our tele-
graphic news at the time. In 1870 man by
the name of Mclaughlin, usually called Tim
Mclaughlin for shortness, read in San Fran
cisco publication of i'll repute, paragraph re-
flecting upon his wife. Mclaughlin lived in
Sacramento, and for some reason or other he
took upon himself to suppose that one Lund-
holm, also of Sacramento, had written the
Objectionable article. 1t does not appear that
he had any reasonable grounds for his suspi-
cions, as Lundholm is described as peaceable,
well-conducted German, who pursued the avo-
cation of barkeeper in lager beer saloon,
dispensing the mild beverage which formed the
staple of trade in the establishment where he
gained his livelihood, with quietness and a
careful attention to the wants of his customers.
Such q person would hardly be supposed to
be likely to seek reputation in the field Nc
Laughlin ascribed to him. But at any rate
the latter chose to consider that Lundholm
wrote the paragraph, and he visited the place
where the man was employed and charged him
with the authorship. The mputation was at
once denied. Here the accounts of the affair
that have reached US become foggy; but the
| result of the interview was that Lundholm was
shot dead by his visitor. 1t is not clear wheth-
er he was shot because Mclaughlin thought he
wrote the scurilous paragraph, or because he
had been guilty of discourtesy in denying Me-
Laughlin's assertion that he had written it.
But he was shot, and it probably made little
difference to the unfortunate Lundholm, which
was the precise reason for his untimely taking
of. Mclaughlin was arrested for murder, and
after innumerable legal proceedings, including
the non-agreement of jury in his case, was
admitted to bail.
In October he was tried again, and convicted
of murder in the first degree, which everybody
thought righteous termination of his case.
Just here, however, an embarrassment sprang
up. This verdict set aside the proceedings
admitting him to bail, and the Judge, feeling a
delicacy about one who had been admitted to
bail by the Supreme Court. adjourned the court
without making any order as to the disposition
of the prisoner. The consequence was that
McLaug ghlin was permitted to walk out of
court with his counsel, his conviction of muir
der practically serving as release for his beil.
His counsel made motion for new trial, but
as the convicted man at once left the city it is
hardly expected that the motion will be very
urgently pressed.

PATRONS OF HUsBANDRY.-The ultimate
object of this Order is to promote mutual in
struction and protection. to tighten labor by
difusing proper knowledge of its aims and
purposes, expand the mind by tracing the
beautiful laws the great Husbandman has es-
tablished in the Universe, and to enlarge our
views of creative wisdom and power.
1t is evident to the most superficial observer,
that successful efforts for the promotion of
general welfare can only be secured by unity
of action; that unity of action cannot be Sc
cured without discipline, and that discipline
cannot beenforced without organization, hence,
the patrons, by symbolized ritual, pleasing,
beautiful and appropriate, are bound together
in mutual fraternity as with band OF iron,
yet in its application it is as gentle as that of
The ritual of the Order is designed not only
to charm the fancy, but to cultivate and enlarge
the mind and purify the heart, being at the
same time strictly adapted to rural pursuits.
Ladies are admitted to full membership as
they work side by side with us in carrying on
the work of the farm, and every father, brother
or husband we'll knows that where he can be
accompanied by his daughter, sister or wife,
that no lessons will be inculcated but those of
purity and truth.
By means of this Order, the farmers and
horticulturists of the United States hitherto,
as a class isolated, and as individuals like
ship at sea without rudder, chart or compass,
may secure combined cooperation for individ.
ual improvement and common benefit. By
establishing Oranges throughout che country,
farmers may secure systematic arrangements
for procuring and disseminating reliable infor-
nation relative to crops, demand and supply,
prices, market and transportation also for the
purchase and exchange of stock, seeds, plants,
trees, farming implements, &c.
There has been an increase of over 1000
Oranges in the last two years. The popularity
of the order among farmers-the bone and
sinew of the land-has far exceeded the most
sanguine expectations of the founders of the
Order 1t is fast becoming mighty power in
the land. Esto perpetua.

would be relieved. In the last category we
find William L. Yancey, who laid the basis for
the secession movement by the secession from
the Charleston Convention in April, 1860; r.
Barnwell Rhett, of South Carolina who for
many years before the war favored disunion ;
and in the list of those relieved such extremists
as Alexander II. Stephens, of Georgia; Robert
w. Barnwell, Of South Carolina; General Ju-
bal A.. Early, Lewis E. Warne and Henry a.
Wise, of Virginia. The following members of
Mr.. Davis's cabinet are no longer under .disa-
bilities: L. Pope Walker, of Alabama; James
A. Seldom of Virginia. George Davis, OF
North Carolina; g. A. Trenholm and 9. J..
Memminger, of South Carolina; and L: ID.
Watts, of Alabama, making majority OF those
who served in such capacities. Among the
military men already relieved are General
Gordon, of Georgia; General Forrest, of Ten
nessee; and Wade Hampton, of South Caro-
lima. .1.s
It is, a noteworthy fact that among the num-
Der relieved and therefore able to hold office
are some of the most inveteratei Bourbons; ;
while on, the list of the disfranchised are
number of gentlemen of the most moderate
and temperate opinions. In word, there is
no principle whatever upon which the existing
disfranchisemeDts can be maintained and no
public good whatever 10 be promoted. That
one in fifty of this small number would ever
be an aspirant for Federal position is regard
ed by well-informed persons as exceedingly
improbable; and if any are still obnoxious it
must be remembered that in very few years
probably not one in ten of those heretofore
prominent will be left alive. A younger class
of men are already shaping the sentiment and
action of the South in all matters affecting its
relations to the Union.
