The ship Crocodile, which crossed
the Equator on Sept. 2lst, encoun.
ted a curious experience, thus related
by a passeng er: "On the following
night the most curious circumstance
occurred, which would hardly be cred
tied The ship was stopped by jolly
fish, which, shortly after one o'clock,
appeared in myriadsas far as the eye
could reach, and the thousands of lu.
minoGs bodies floating upon the water
gave the appearance of a scene from
fairyland. Some OF the fish got into
the strainers of the condensers, and
blocked the holes, so that the water
could not enter, and the result was
that the vacuum went down, and then
disappeared entirely. The conden-
sers afterward became SO heated that
we had to stop steaming altogether,
take off the strainers, and clear them.
Three attempts were made to steam,
and each failed from the same cause.
In this way we were delayed no less
than five hours; but at daybreak the
fish sank, and the ship was able tc
proceed. The same thing occurred
again on the following night, the ship
being delayed four hours"

Augusta, Ga, Evening News:
Appearances are now very strong
going to prove that Col. Cole will
give Augusta the cold shoulder,
and couple with Col. Wadley IN
his march TO the sea. We learned
this morning from a prominent
broker that Col. Cole bought 200
shares Of Central stock yesterday,
makidg 400 shares of this stock
owned by that great railroad king.
Considering this little fact in con-
nectiOn with the recent sale of bis
Georgia railroad stock, il looks as
if the Georgia and Port Royal will
not form part of the great through
route to the sea, but that Augusta
is to receive another blow in its
railroad interests.

Lcs MP on the Liver.

Mr. Editor. tits Il wonder many men and
women escape the effects of tanpering with
their lives. Mankind seems TO have gone era
zy On the subject OF their liver, and ey ry little
popping-jay is thrusting out something for
the liver" 4 he stomach is crammed full OF
senna and sich. called liver medicines. What
on eartn is the matter with the liver, all at
once? Why, n few years ago some people
didn' I know they had Ii er. and now they
can almost tell which side it is on. Who says
the liver is at fault when our head aches. or
when you are dyspep ie. or c0nstipated? l
don't believe word ef it. The bowels must
be opene before the bile can possibly get out,
aud that is all that is nece sary. Let your liv-
er alone, there is nothing the matter with it.
Now let. me tell you an iniallibIe remedy for
all such conditions. Take a few doses of Bal
ley's Saline Aperient i; will open your bowels
unlock the liver and cleanse the bowels.

citizens whose friendships should be as s'roDg
as the earlier years Of our acquaintance, when
we made our Interests mutual. i contredicted
his a assertion that we were citizens alike, and
reminded him that he had a life position, and
that Grant went out of office burdened with
the bOnoIs OF a profitable Presidency. and this
was because Joyce and I had protected him

have thrown them into the cells of infamy II

minded him that he had disarmed Joyce by
procuring through false promises the tell-taie
letters which, daring toe operation Of the

but that there would be day of reckoning,
nevertheless, when ne and Grant would wish
they had never been born. This was the last

visit Grant up 10 the day he went out OF Office,
yet never had or sought meeting with him
