AUGUSTA, GA, August lo.-1heFe
was much excitement to-day in WASH
ington and Jefferson counties on ac-
count of reported attempts by the
negroes at instruction. Eighty ar
rests we're made, and the white mill
tary companies in those counties were
ordered by the Governor to report to
the sheriff. The prisoners were all
lodged in Jail without resistance
The alleged plot contemplated amas-
sacre Of the whites on the Goth inst.
Tho only explanation Of these trou'
blcs vet furnished is through the
Augusta correspondent Of the New
York Times, who writes under date
Of Wednesday, as follows: Two days
since a letter was found at William
son S store in Washington county, a
place where colorcd militia company
drills, ordering a massacre OF the
whites on the Goth inst. The order
was signed by a man named Harris
and stated that Rivers, q colored MI
htia general, of South Carolina, would
be present and direct the movement.
The order read "Kill every white
man and take every gun YOU can get
Have all your companies ready. klIl
with axes, hoes, ritchforks, and get
gunpowder and shot as you Kill. -
After commencing the work in Wash
ington county, the negroes were dr.
rected to move toward Barlow, in jet
ferson county, where they would be
Joined by Gen. Rivers.
Other similar letters were sad t.
have been discovered, and, Of course
caused intense excitement. The Wht'
military companies were immed'AteI!
ordered out. No conflict cnsucd, bu
many arrests were made Of colore'
men. Many believe that the ALTA
has been greatly exaggerated. At las
accounts ali was quiet again, snd Il

BoYNToN,s LIrEPRIsERYER.

Mr. Paul Boynton having succeeded in
swimming the English Channel between
Calais and Dover on his second trial, a
description of his life-preserver and the
ease with which it can be donned may
not be uninteresting. The original pat
entee of this life-saving apparatus is q.
s. Merriman, who recently invited q
member of the New York press to try it
on. From his description of it we give a
condensed account. To show the rapid
ity with which the suit can be put on by
one accustomed to it, the inventor first
dressed himself in the outfit, occupying
just one minute and fifteen seconds in
the operation. Aroused in the dead of
night by collision on shipboard, one
has to do what one would naturally do
throw on a pair of pantaloons and shirt,
and he is prepared to Jump into the sea.

together water-tight at the waist, and

enabled to initiate the dress. This can be

being sufficient TO sustain body on the
surface. The representative of the press,
after being shown everything about the
dress, removed his outside coat and shoes
aud was instantly whipped into the rub
Der breeches, the hooded jacket thrown
over his head, his lean sides expanded by
the united breath of the inventor and his
assistant and in just four minutes from
the time of signifying his desire to '.try

Plunged is hardly the word he was
rather launched, and f1oated off upon the
water like cork. With this rig on

wetting being altogether out of the ques-
ton. For several hours the reporter
foated about the bay. now swimming
feet foremost, now in the opposite direc-
tion-either way with the greatest of ease,
and considerable rapidity. On landing,
his clothes were found perfectly warm
and dry, the stiffness not even taken
from his collar and cuffs. The recent
exploit of Mr.. Boynton will give his
life preserver worldwide notoriety aud
cause it to be generally sought for by
those who go down to the sea In ships

lei. From an early age the animal showed
o marvellous inclination to copy what was
vicious IN man. 1t does not seem that
ne ever smoked perhaps it was because
the formation of the mouth forbade that
luxury. Chewing tobacco has ever been
ms especial vanity. He will 90 any length
TO procure his favori.e stimulant: even
cigar stumps and secondhand quids off
the sidewalk do not come amiss. In fact
they are his chief resource. He has kept
up the practice so long that if he fails to
nnd tobacco to satisfy his cravings he
falls into fits. His dissipation is not con-
fined to tobacco. but he exhibits a remark
able fondness for alcoholic stimulants.
He will lap up bowlful of wine at a sit
ting. Even brandy is not too fiery. and
he will drink it, provided it is sufficiently
diluted, until he is drunk. Coffee with
cognac is another of his weaknesses, and
he will hold his paws lovingly around a
cup OF it until the last drop Of it is drain
ed. His master having recently complied
with the Common Councils ordinances
and muzzled him, the poor animal re-
jected all kinds of food-even bones =
and tried to starve himself because he
could not get his accustomed tobacco.

:. Nor MUCH OF CLUB MAN.-Commo-
dore Vanderbilt is member of the Man
haitian Club, but as he is neither editor.
nor htterateur, nor even bon vivant, he
does not add much to the Importance of
that institution. The Commodore ac-
complishments. outside of business, are
to smoke, drive, swear and play whist
These can all be done in small room,
and afford very little matter for the press
The real club among whom the Commo-
dore reigns supreme is his clique of rail-
road directors consisting Of Henry Har-
ker and Captain DeGroot, the Michael
Angelo of America, who built the Com
modore's statue which now graces st.
Johns Park depot; also, John III. Storm,
the freight king; w. II. Wagner, master
of the palace-car department. Such COM
pany affords the Commodore all the club
he needs.

No WILL NECESSARY. I'm case hus-
band and father dies intestate, the Code
makes the following provisions as to his
property. which in ordinary cases would
seem to do away with the need of will !:
One-half goes to the wife and the other
half is distributed equally to his descend
ants. A child, when adopted, takes
the name of the person adopting. and
the two thenceforth sustain towards each
other the legal relation of parent and
child, and have all the rights and are
subject to all the duties of that relation"
Thus reads the Code. And under it the
adopted child becomes in all legal rela-
tlons the peer of the child by blood. And
it may be of interest to many if we state
here that the husband cannot by will de-
prive the wife of her full share-that is
one half of the common property. He
can will away his own half, and that is
all.-CdrSon Appeal.

REVIVAL OF PATRIOTIC SENTIMENT
The Boston Advertiser thinks that the
prospect now is that "long before the
nation gets through celebrating the ami
versaries of the Revolution there will be
such revival of patriotic sentiment in
every section of the country that the ami
mosities of the civil war will be practi-
cally blotted out" and it says "There
is no longer need to strive to make our
countrymen of the South ashamed of
their folly. Let us henceforth act the
nobler part, and bend every energy to
the work of making them glad that, IN
spite of all, we are still one nation not
weaker, but stronger, for the conflicts it
has passed safely through"
