TIL. savannah valley Railroad in Court.


The opponents Of the Savannah Valley
Railroad in Magnolia township, in Abbe-
vile County, have appealed from the action
of the County Commissioners, in declaring
the vote for subscription carried in that
township. Messrs. Graydon and Calhoun,
of the Abbeville bar, represent the appel
alants, and Messrs. Murray and Murray, of
Anderson, represent the corporators of the
Railroad. On last Thursday, at Abbeville,
before Judge Presley, motion was made
to docket the appeal for trial. Mr.. E. b.
Murray resisted the motion to docket, and
moved to dismiss the appeal on the ground
that the County Commissioners have no ju-
dicial powers under the charter, because no
appeal lies to the Circuit Court from the
County Commissioners, acting as election
commissioners, and because the act charter
ing the road gives no right of appeal. The
Judge heard the argument and took the pa
pers. His decision has not yet been filed.
1.-The should decide to dismiss the appeal, it
will end the case. Should he allow it to be
docketed, it will then be tried upon its mer-
its, andEhe election will undoubtedly be
sustained.

THK LATE PRINCE INTERVAL, when q Child
IVES particularly fond OF geography, natural
pnIosphy, and history. He appreciated hers
ism intensely, and his favorite classical hero
was Alexander the Great, on account OF his
skill as 4 horseman, and his magnanimtty to-
wards Darius. A Characteristic little story is
1oid OF quarrel between the young Prince and
Inc daughter OF Princess Metternich, when they
were both children at FOntainebleau. The two
little ones were talking about dolls dress be-
longing to the Princess, and the latter was so
provoked by the Princes remarks about IL that
she boxed his ears. The Prince redeemed DIRE "
pack as II to avoid the temptation TO return the
DloW, and then said In naughty tone:-"Mad-
emolselle, what you have done is very vulgar;
you would deserve that should do the same to
you; but must not, for you are nothing but
little girl" The Prince OF Wales, mentioning
the dead Prince the other evening, Said:-sH can
only say that more charming, more prornis.
Ing young man has rarely existed. II 1t had been
the Will OF Providence that he should have been
called to succeed his father as Sovereign OF that
great country, our neighbor, believe he would
have proved an admirable Sovereign, ana that
he, like his father, would have been a true and
great ally OF this country"

FRENCH WAY OF WASHING CLorHEs-A
system of washing clothes has lately been In
troduced In some French towns which Is worthy
special mention. Its economy is SO great as
greatly to reduce the cost This is the process:
TWO pounds OF soap Is reduced with a little
water to pulp, which having been slightly
warmed, is cooled In ten gallons OF water, 10
which Is added one spoonful OF turpenttne Oil
and two spCODsful OF ammonia; then the MIX
ture Is agltated The water is kept at a tenn
perature which may be borne by the hand. la
this solution the white clothes are put and left
there for two hours before washing them with
soap, taking care, To the mean time, to cover
the tub. The solution may be warmed again
and used once more, but it will be necessary to
add half a spoonful Of turpentine and another
spoonful OF ammonia. Once washed with soas
the Clothes are put In hot water and the blue
is applied. This process, 1t is obvisus. saves
much time, much labor anS fuel, while it gives
to the Clothes whiteness much superior to
mat obtained by any other process. and the
destructive use OF the washboard is not neceS-
sary to clean the clothes from the impurities
