total wreok, and the first mate, Joseph Bayles,
lost: The brig Long PreaGe, from Apalachico-
la for Philadelphia, and two other vessels,
names unknown, are ashore. A large ship dis
masted, was III the breakers near st. Sebastian
on the 7tb, the crew still being aboard. A lot

The terrible discovery was made at st. Au-
gustine, Fia., on the I'd inst, that the sea had
washed tip several bodies and portions of the
mail carried by the steamer Vera Cruz, and
there is now very little doubt that the vessel,
which sailed from New York, Aug. rs, for Ha-
vana and Vera Cruz, went down in the recent
hurricane which has already strewn the coast
with wrecks. The passenger list Of the umfort.
unate steamer contained n names. The City
of Vera Cruz was a wooden vessel, 1874 tons
register, built at Green Point, l.. l., in 1874,
for Alexander l. Sons line. Ldter.-A seaman
named Talbot drifted ashore On the Florida
coast, after having been seven hours in the
water. He gives an account of the wreck which
was terrible in Its nature. The steamer was
struck by the hurricane on the night OF the 2Sth
ult., and outlived the gale till the next day,
riding the seas head-too behind drag. The
waves finally washed her upper works and
matches off and the vessel foundered. Out of
over seventy persons, only thirteen survive the
terrible experience.
The steamer Hardwick, from Odessa for Bris-
tol with barley. shifted her cargo and foun-

Use Of Woolen Clothing,

Professor Jaeger, Of Stuttgart, recon-
mends the use Of wooden clothing both
in summer and winter, and has invented
. sort Of normal dress by which he claims
the accumulation Of fat and water in the
system can be prevented. This normal
clothing has two essential properties:
l. II consists exclusively Of wool,
avoiding al materials woven from plant
hber (cotton or linen
q II makes . strong point Of keeping
warm the middle line Of the front o the
body.
But the principal popularity of the
clothing h the exclusive use M sheep's
wool, even avoiding pocket and other
1inina1 q Ootton.

FOREIGN War N0les.

Gen. Roberts has officially telegraphed the
English government, from the neighborhood of
Candahar, that he has defeated and dispersed
the Afghan force under Ayoob Khan. The at
tack on the princes camp appears to have been
in the nature of a surprise. several guns were
captured, and the two pieces taken from the
horse artillery at the time of Gen. Burrows de-
feat were recovered. Lieut. Mclean, taken
prisoner on the same occasion, is reported TO
l1 have been murdered after the battle began.
The British loss was comparatively slight
Roberts gives only the casualties among the
European regiments. He is silent as to the
sepoy death list. Ayoob is supposed to have
retreated to Herat.
The Servian minister has written q note to
the porte demanding that Albanian menaces on
the frontier of Servia be put a stop to. The
Albanians are concentrating strongly, and
battle seems TO be imminent.
Gen. Roberts with a regiment Of his force
reached Candahar on the 2Sth nit. Ayoob
Khan is entrenched at Musra in the Arganda
valley, his line Of retreat being secured by a
ford over the river at Khagras.

Changed His Mind.

In Massachusetts banns of marriage
must be recorded and published. On
Monday last there came before the regis
ter of marriages in Boston sort of Sam
Slick looking party apparently about
sixty-fve years old, who bashfully ap-
preached the deputy clerk, and after
much circumlocution, announced that
he wanted to publish his intention of
marriage. The clerk recorded the names
Of the contracting parties, and he paid
the fee. Has that got to go into the
newspaper" he asked. eyes, sir, I"
said the clerk. "Can't yer keep it out p
II don't know how I can." "Well, I
don't want it put i'll the newspaper. I've
been married once before. Ny poor
wife died. I don't believe in marryin'
twice sartin, don't think l ought ter
marry. But I'm goin' on my three
score and ten. I need some one to take
care of me and take care of the cows
But thar! don't keer SO much for my
self, but the woman-poor young thing!
"Twould make her feel bad to have it put
in the paper" And the old man drew
his coat-sleeve under his nose and heaved
a sigh. How old is your intended?"
a0Aeu the clerk. SneS 3 IOfty-nve.
She's terrible smart-tends to four looms
in the mill" "Well, l guess you'll have
TO see the newspaper folks" said the
clerk. The same old gentleman with
face very red, appeared in the Journal
Office two hours later. Said he, g I got
my intentions Of marriage published in
Auburn this mornin', but don't put 'em
in, for I've backed out, guess won't
get married. I've been over and told
'em 10 scratch it out" An inquiry at
the clerks Office revealed that the old
gentleman had cancelled the intention
and returned the certificate, as he stated.
Whether it was he or the other party
that backed out it is not. so easily ascer-
tained. Perhaps the venerable beau
was the victim Of a heartless hirt. Poor
old man! Who will take care of his
cows.

Hon. Paul Strobach, member OF tho
Republican National committee from
Alabama, was recently in New York, and
was interviewed by a reporter of the
Times of that city upon southern mat
ters. In regard to the remarkable in
crease in population of certain southern
states, according to the late census, Mr..
Strobach says:
81 am not a statistician, but the claim
that Alabama has increased 15O, 900 IN
population is certainly ar extraordinary
one. Now, known positively that the
state has lost not less than So, 600 inhab-
itants in the last decade by emigration
alone. For the last six years the whites
have been constantly moving out to
Texas, and so great is the rush that at
certain seasons Of the year the railway
companies keep special emigrant cars
running to Texarkana for their accom-
As to the blacks, it is noto-
rious that five or six years ago, while
Mississippi was still a Republican state,
they had a perfect mania for emigrating
there and to Louisiana. The only con-
siderable gain by emigration has been
the newly-settled German colony at
Cullman and vicinity, in northern Ala
bama, and that does not number alto
gether 1000 souls. If the natural in
excess OF births over deaths
has really been 200, 900 in 10 years,
which it must have been to justify the
present figures, it is certainly very re-
markable."
EDO you know anything about frauds
in the taking of the census?"
ST do not, nor do I want to, have
become SO disgusted since the Wholesale
appointments Of Democrats as census
takers. You may judge how the work
has been done by the fact that the very
first enuneratcr appointed in my district
was . man who had not only been
indicted, but convicted, sentenced, and
actually imprisoned for stealing . ballot
box from Republican polling place 1t
the last congressional election. An ex-
convict, and an ex-convict Of that kind,
was certainly the last person to be
intrusted with such duty"
