The Womea'S Heme,

To THE PUBLIC: The question has often been
asked "What is this Home for, and how is it to
be sustained?" The Home is for respectable
indigent women-those who have once enjoyed
if not luxurious homes, but now,
bereft Of worldly means, must look to others for
the comforts of life. In order to assist the funds
of the Home, an admission fec Of twenty. Eve
dollars year, to be used as o permanent fund,
will be required Of each applicant; she will be
expected to sew, knit, care for her own room,
and in every possible way to contribute to the
benefit Of the institution. Any lady of this
ted from any part Of the State In another
part Of the Home are wards where the sick poor
of any class will be nursed under skillful med
ical treatment, free Of cost. There are also
rooms for pay patients those who, wishing to
be under the care Of one Of our. physicians, do
not wish to board at hotel; they can be boar
ded and nursed at the Home for 6ve dollars a
week. The ladies expect that kind hearts and
Christian charity will help support the Home,
and that IL will he as sef-sustaining as possible
Would our kind citizens each give little of
such as they could afford, the Home would be
supplied, their own homes none the less cared
for, and their own pleasures no fewer, while
Ged's blessing would surely attend their gifts.
. The ladies wish to inform the public that the
Home will be open to public inspection as soon
as they can complete furnishing It. They are
awaiting the arrival Of articles already oontribu-
ted but not yet sent to the Home.
In order that no unnecessary purchase may
be made the ladies respectfully ask those who
have any article articles to contribute, how
ever small, or Of whatever nature, to send the
same at once, or as speedily as possible, to the
Home. tin plate, . bowl, Q cup and saucer
anything that could possibly be utilized at the
Home. will be gratefully received and such gift
scarcely be felt by the donor, while Il would
give timely assistance to the Home. As persons
from any part Of the State will be admitted, the
ladies will be very glad to give persons outside
of Columbia an opportunity Of Contributing
Many persons have pictures Of which they have
wearied and consigned TO lumber room |;
such pictures would adorn and enliven our
Home. An odd vase, o small bracket, an
unused lamp, water bucket, towels, bed
clothes, stoves-any thing and every thing
that can comfort and be Of use. Kind
friends, please send your contributions at once,
that the house may be opened at an early day to
the public. We hope none will think thst be-
cause he or she give but trihe that IL Is not
worth their while to give at ALI each gift will
be appreciated and perform its work. Many
have generously contributed, and We feel certain
that all will checrfuily lend helping hand 10

GOLD BY THE Pound IN GEoRaTA.-Advices by
telegraph and mail received from the gold mine
in White County, of which q description was
given yesterday, show that the yield grows
richer and richer, and there is, of course. nn
increase in the excitement. Col. ]. II. Nichols,
who had started home, telegraphs us from Mount
Airy that the Messrs. Lumsden found on Tues
day nugget that weighed 440 pennyweights.-
This is about one-third larger than the nugget
that was shown in Atlanta on Tuesday and is
almost equal to the nugget of $40 pennyweights,
which was the largest ever found in Georgia.
A carl from Mr.. e. J. Storr, a reliable gen.
tleman who is on the ground, writes that the
boys have begun to count their days work by
the pound, and that on Monday only two hands
being at work, they took out twenty-four pounds
of gold, or to be exact 942 pennyweights. All
IF this was found in nuggets. One nugget
weighed three hundred and thirty pennyweights,
another seventy-three pcnnyweights, and anoth-
er ffty-fve pennyweights. The others were
smaller pieces, ranging from five to forty pen
nyweights. The days work on Monday of the
two hands amounted to over $500, as the bull
lion is worth about SO cents to the penbyweight.
We await with curiosity further news from the
rich mine. We have but little doubt that the
Lumsdeas will get huge fortune out Of the old
vegetable garden, that has for fifty years been
given to the cultivation Of turnips and potatoes.
But whatever they get will be a small fortune
compared to that which awaits him who cracks
the sparkling veins that seam the hills and
mountains that shut in the Vally Of Nacoo-
chee.-Attdnta Constitution.

WHERE THE APOSTLES REsr.-Church
authorities state that the Apostles of Christ
are now in the following places Seven are
in Rome-namely, Peter, Philip, James
the Lesser, Jude, Bartholomew, Matthias
and Simon. Three are in the Kingdom of
Naples, Matthew at Salerno, Andrew at
Amalf, and Thomas at Ortona. One is in
Spain, James the Greater, whose remains
are at st. Jago de Compostella. OF the
body of st. John the Evangelist, the re-
naming one of the twelve, there is no
knowledge.
The Evangelists Mark and Luke are also
in Italy-the former at Venice and the lat
ter at Padua. St. Paul's remains are also
believed to be in Italy.
Peters are, Of course, in the Church at
Rome, which is called after him, rs are also
those of Simon and Jude. Those of James
the Lesser and Of Philip are in the Church
of the Apostles; Bartholomew in the
Church on the Island in the Tiber called
after him; Matthias's are 10 the Santa Maria

The Sun SPoTs AND THEIR MEANINa.-The re-
turn OF the sun spots, according to the mysteri-
GUS law that governs their appearance, is daily
becoming more manifest. They throng across the
great blazing globe of the sun sngly, in groups
and in rows. They show q decided tendency
to flock together, and generally there is at least
one principal member Of group, of enormous
size. surrounded by dozen or more smaller
spots, some of which can be detected only with
high telescopis powers. Many of them, how
ever, are az large as q continent, and the largest
exceed the whole earth in size. Surrounding
the spots are the faculso ridges of light that
stand out clearly, by their superior brilliancy,
from the intense brightness Of the suns disk.
Any one can see the larger spots on bright day
with good sPyglass, but great care must be Ia
ken to protect the eyes with q deeply colored,
almost opaque glass. Sun spots seem to be con-
nected in some strange way with the meteorologi
cal condition of the earth. When, after having
been almost entirely absent for time, they begin
to reappear in great numbers, seasons Of e1ces
sive heat usually occur. At such times, too. the
northern lights are most frequent. Prof Piazzi
