WM. E. MICKLE, spl etf Mobne. Ala, PERFECTION 1 BOILER'S BITTERS. fiewut Caanterfelta B0llo-l704 NEW ORLEANS, We are in receipt of Invitations to attend the fifth annual fair of the Claiborne Agricultural and Mechanical Fir Association of Homer, which will open on the 18th of November next.

Judge Lynch was busily occupied in the Fourth District Court during Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in tbe trial of rules and interlocutory pleas. The court-room presented a lively appearance from the large number of attorneys, litigants and witnesses present. The Fourth District Court will be in seesion again on next Monday, to try the numerous cases fixed for that day. The Government of Cuba intends to cut off $300 a month on the salaries of the judges and reduce the salaries of all the Government officials. A Havana correspondent says that this has created great dissatisfaction and seiious for, owing to receiving their money or pay in pater currency, the officials suffer great inconveniences.

Significant Facts. The Atlanta papers announce a larjre immigration into Middle Georgia, and remark that a large proportion is composed of white citizens from South Carotin and Louisiana, who' have emigrated to escape carpet-bag and negro rule in those The, Herald mentions as one of the detrimental effect-of negro domination in South Carolina, that the price of land has declined almost to a Rice plantations, for instance, which wn once held at $75 to $100 per aere, are now given away, as one may say, foi 75 cents per acre. These are facts be pondered. If release from th burden of Radical cor rapt ion in Louisiana is to come, it mast erannali; from the honest people themselves. Party politicians are not the men save this State.

Cnromoa. Tbe rage for these specimens of art has brought them prominently forward as premiums," and the number of enterprises in which they are used as incentives to indnstry and patronage is almost innumerable. We heard the other day of an enterprising minister of tbe Gospel, who purposes to give a premium of a cbromo to every convert to bis church during tbe year, and a wide awake dealer in poultry proposes to give one to each of his roosters to make them crow-more. Particulars Wanted. Two days ago we received tbe following note: Mr.

We must compliment the Demo cratio Parith Committee on a brace of resolutions Joffered and passed at its seesion of Jnly 14. They are so very proper and becoming and dignified, that we reproduce; them liefer, and" commeud them to the notice of al' who feel an interest in parity of purpose and continence of action among our clubs and committees: Resolved, That the personal attendance of aspirants for offices at ward primaries and other political meetmgH, for the purpose of controlling their action, and at nominating (conventions, electioneering for nomination, is disrexpactfal to al honest voter and delegates, and unbecoming tbf dignity of the otlice sought I EewTred, That each and every member of the Democratic Parifth Committee pledge himself, individually and personally, not to accept a DouiiDat i from the people, nor to allow bis name to be submitted before a convention as fkcandi date for anofice whatever, during the coming campaign.

Were onr'clubs to pass resolutionr similarly admirable, such as to suppress the itinerant orator, the chronic office- the professional patriot, e'tc, and inj divers other ways pro claim and jen force the proposition that in this campaign the office muM ceek the man then, indt-ed, would the prospect brighten and fhe confidence of a waveriiig and disheartened public be AFTER THE FLOOD THE FIRE. It seems to be pretty well authen ticated that when the appeal fron-overflowed jLouisiana reached Chica go, a well known divine of that cit arose in his puJpii; and proceeded explain that after the flMl the fire would devastate this unhappy region adding very piously that if the sink of iniquity) known as New Orleans ere swept from the face of tip earth, Christians might congratulat themselves upon the consummation. Our godly friend has not proved Strong in the prophetic line, unless, indeed, the scourge of the fiery facia now prevailing here can be advanced as corroborative of his prediction but the circumstance is curiousl significant in connection with tbir-secdnd destructive conflagration io thicago. rVere we that preacher we should feel convicted of having ut-tered a brutal and barbarous sentiment; beiig ourselves, however, we hope the gentleman's church wasn't burned. A zealous Franciscan friar named Maicml, of Arequipa, Peru, discovered that a periodical on schools, published in that city, was heretical in its tendencies, since it called to the attention of teachers the recognized fact that in this age intellect should nntrammeled.

The excitement which his anathemas against the paper produced was such that the Prefect was obliged to collect all the copies he could find and destroy them. The sensation spread to Lima. The Minister of Public Worship remonstrated with the Bishop against the conduct of the Rev. Marcial but the religious organ of the city openly accused tlie Administration of oppo-, eition to the third article of the constitution, which declares that the Catholic and apostolic creed is that of the nation, and no other shall be allowed. The difficulty is not settled.

and it is hard to tell which side will triumph, -I President Grant and his retatuera have arrived at Long Branch. A Northern iiaper informs us that at the West End; Hotel, which is a famous resort, ovr 500 guests are registered, i The price; at this hotel is $5 a day. The demand for cottages is more brisk than for hotel accommodations. The rents for the season rangq from $300 I to $3000, according to location and jfurniture. The President was escort-led to his residence by a large party oi friends, and now has grouped about him Tom Murphy, Gen.

Bibcock, Col. iPorterj and Jesse Seligman, the latter, loccupyingia pretty place leased from Gen. Granlt at $3500 for the Maggie Mitchell, Edwin Adams and iChanfrau Bre neighbors at the' West End. The finest place at the Branch is Mr John Hoey's mansion! and park On Cedar ji venue. Early in the spring jMr.

Hoey added ten acres tothe park and imported over worth of statuary for its adornment. There is a widely marked difference in the cost of living, Board at the hotils can be obtained for $5 or $2 50, or at the cottages from $16 to $40 a w4ek, while horse keeping, boat hire, are tolerably reasonable for such a places. i "I 4 Parlor, bedroom and dining-room ur-niture, to be sold this day at 11 o'clock, at No. 80 Camp street, by Messrs.

After that job was done, we fooled around, after the manner of reporters, looking into the likeness machine and interfering in everything-carryinaT on, in tbe meanwhile, a conversation with the photographer.

Having exhausted the weathsv, wa tried the- next best thing politics. As for politics," said the pho tographer, I don't want the Radicals, am sick Of the Democrats, disgusted with the Liberals and hate the Wait Leaguers, Reformers and a'l others." What we exclaimed, is business bad That's just it. Who cares for politics when the people don't have photographs taken It is not the weather that io bad enough; but it is the times. True, times are bard, crops are bad, banks are breaking; we have too much government and too much taxation; everything is going to tbe devil. But, with all this, can't people put oo a pleasant look when they come for tbeir likenesses Why, they come up tere looking as dismal and as melancholy as if tht-y were coming from a wedding or a christening.

It is ruining my business. Look here, ree these pho togranbs. They are worse than the rofUfs' gallery every one looks as if he was about to be bnnjr, drawn and quar-" rered, or something worse. Alady came Lere the other day. I did the best I ronld.

So did my camera-obscura poor thing it can't make ngiy people handsome. When I showed her the negative, you ought to have beard her and her friends. 'Horrid! Awfnl 1' Why, Mariar, you look as if you bad the toothTache It was true; she looked as if she had tbe tooth-ache, ihe ear-acbe, and every other known iche. Imt that is the way she looked wheD the picture was taken; that Til swear to. I took her strain.

The same result. Tbe picture was not near as good ss oce the bad bad taken fifteen yean ago in Is this Brown we exclaimed. Yes it was Brown, the festive Brown looking ill. miserable, sick, disgusted, for orn and played out. "I rhall be ruined," continned the photographer, unless people take to 'augbing.

The only good picture I have taken in six months was that of a baby, and this was done by "his father and mother making faces at him. I asked my clients tp smile, to try and loofc pleasant and agreeable. Here is the; idea of looking pleasant. They look much more like idiots than anything else. I soon gave that np.

I achieved a temporary success by hiring a little negro boy to tickle my patients nnder tbe soles of their feet. But the ladies, who are my best customers, would not allow this. Oh, for a Quasimodo; oh, for a 'Man who What in the world can 1 do to make people laugh to restore photography." The conundrum was too much for us but any funny man. any person who can make others laugh without tickling him, would make quite a fortune now-a-days. Does not our city possess one funny man A very violent hail storm occurred on Saturday, the 4th of July, on and around the grove belonging to Joseph Jeffereon, at Hohokus, Bergen county, N.

J. A merry party of Mr. Jefferson's neighbors had been enjoying a dance, a clam bake, and a good time generally, when, warned by the clouds, they were just dispersing as the storm broke. The hail stones were mostly as large as eggs, some much larger, and a witness informs us he was unable to hold more than fonr in his large outspread palms. These missiles penetrated hats and umbrellas, frightened the horses, while the backs of the drivers were black and blue with their pelting-Stout dishes and ale bottles were broken, and one gentleman had bis face badly cut.

"Old Rip" fortunately left the grounds before the storm, though all the glass of his greenhouse was destroyed. The party, consisting of sixty or seventy people, returned home thoroughly drenched, and will long remember the the 4th of July, Hc-rr Lasker, one of the deputies in tbe German Reichstag, who was mainly instrumental in exposing the Credit Mobilierism of certain German railway lines, and who is one of the most effective orators and influential personages in the Chamber, is a man of singular purity of character, who has won his great influence by his independence and honesty. He is a Jew, and a lawyer by profession. He has an income of about one thousand dollars a year, which he has inherited, and this he lives upon, refusing to accept compensation from his clients for any professional service that he may render them, as he chooses to practice law for the sole purpose of devoting his abilities to the maintenance of just and righteous causes, such as be always assumes the cases of his own clients to be. Of course, practicing on such terms, he has no lack of clients, and hi3 popularity is unbounded among them.

Pelican Club Regatta at Bayou St. John. Champion Time by the Riverside Crew. The annnal. regatta of the Pelican Rowing Club fell on a most auspicious day.

The banks of Bayou St. John were a little wet and muddy their chrouio state but the sun came out in all his splendor. The erowd that went to the bayou was far greater than on any pre viona occasion. The houses of the St John and Pelican Clubs were covered with their guests the two bridges held over a thousand, whilst the rows that covered both sides of the bayou must have swelled the total to at least five thousand. Each club and crew had its friends and sympathizers, earnest in their favor, and backing them in every manner, with shouts, applause and money; The races were happily started on time.

At exactly 5:30 P. M. the two crews, the Orleans and Pelicans, were in line. The Orleans in their 36 foot gig, Annie the Pelicans in a 30 foot gis. "Viola." Race, oneanda half miles and back, or three miles.

The crew of tbe Pelicans was as follows 1, F. Claiborne 2, H. G. Keen 3, T. H.

Bay hi 4, L. P. Chandet coxwain, Geo-Keen. Orleans crew: P. H.

McGrath 2, N. O. Doonell 3. P. J.

McGrath 4, Jae. McCune coxwain, W. McCaffrey Both crewa got under way even, start-ng out with the very fair average of 38 strokes per minute. The Pelicans soon shot a little ahead, when they encountered quite a quantity of floating grass that seriously inconveniences them. Ir was found necessary for No.

1 of their crew to arise from his Beat and detach it. By this accident they lost some four lengths. On turning tbe point the two crews were almost even. The Pelicans, however, tlowly pulled ahead, winning the race in by about lfe lengths. The Second Race was also three miles, between an emergency crew of the Pelicans, consisting of 1, F.

N. Yolkman 2. J. J. Birmingham 3.

B. F. Edwards 4. J. V.

Bailey coxswain, Geo. Keen, and a crew of the Riversides, of 1, Gallagher 2, Theo Gleason 3, John O'Brien 4, R. E. Dia mood; coxswain, Ben. Bridges.

The Riversides started out making the very fast time of forty-three strokes per minutes. They soon shot ahead-, increased the distance at every foot, and came in, entirely distancing tbe Pelican crew, in one of the best pulls ever made on the bayou. A rest of half an hour was taken, during which pnblio discussion and betting was pretty biisk The race was now narrowed down to two crews, the FeUcaas and tbe Riversides. Betting, such as was made, was de cidedly in favor of tbe latter crew, as tbey seemed in nowise worn by their three mile pull. When the two crews were brought np before tbe judges' some little difference arose as to what the race was to be.

The Pelican crew thought it was a three mile race, the Riversides one mile. A compromise waa agreed on of two miles. At tbe call tbe Riversides shot a length or two ahead, making 44 strokes per minute. This they kept up throughout and together with their remarably fine steering they rushed far ahead, distancing their competitors, and making the two miles in The Best Time ever made on the bayou. Their success was greeted by unanimons applause.

As soon as order was established the Pelican Club and its guests adjourned to tbe Magnolia Gardens, where everybody ended an enjoyable evening in the mazes of the dance. The races "were splendidly contested. The Pelican.Club had a great disadvantage is their boats, that of the Orleans being six feet longer, and of the Riverside foe pounds lighter. Nevertheless it was a fair test of superiority, and the Riversides should feel proud ef their Victory. There is much significance in the letter of Gen.

Hebert on a third term That individual has been lounging around the White House for some months, and may be supposed at least to understand something of the wishes and intentions of President Grant. Gov. Hebert, though notr noted for great astuteness, is yet not without some penetration and standing forth, as is supposed in the North, a representative of the lespectable people of Louisiana, it is fitting that such an announcement should come from him. That the down-trodden State of Louisiana, the Commonwealth that has been grossly outraged by the President, should step forth to lick the hand that has scourged her, and lift np her voice to further honor the Chief Executive who has "made peace" within her borders, may be considered as such a lofty encomium upon the Administration as to captivate the Northern heart. Up at Nashua, N.

they think tbe circus announcement, "No policemen admitted except in full uniform," portends bad luck for the twenty or thirty pecials who struggled for commissions solely for the purpose of deadheading at all the shows. No resident of Kasson. has ever lost a dollar by fire, or no reaiaent ever had a dollar to lose NUMBER 144. LITEST TELEGRiPH. WASHINGTON.

Cetten Planters Report. 1 Washington, July J.5. The cotton planters' report to the Department of Agriculture, in accordance with -tbe conditional promise of their June report, show an increase in the condition of the plant in" every State. The percentages of average condition are higher than in June by the following figures ft in Louisiana, 4 in Arkansas, 6 in Florida, 1 in South Carolina, 9 in 'Mississippi, 10 in Alabama, 11 in Georgia, 12 in Tennessee aDd Texas, 13 in North Carolina. Texas and North Carolina return a condition above tbe average.

i The following are the State averages North Carolina, 102; South Carolina, 88; Georgia, 91; Florida, 96; Alabama, 92; Mississippi. 87 Louisiana, 73 Texas, 102; Arkansas, 94; Tennessee, 97. As compared with July of last year, the condition is higher, except in Florida, Louisiana and Arkansas, though the difference is slight in Tennessee and Georgia, and not very wide in Mississippi and Alabama. North Carolina the temperature has been high, rains seasonable and growth rapid, though the plant is still small and late in certain counties. The fields have generally had good preparation to clear culture.

The Edgeoomb, which produces one-eighth of the cotton of the State, returns the condition at 110. The improvement has been rapid in South Carolina, and is still progressing, though the growth is not advanced on an average; lice infest some fields. Darlington, yielding one-seventh of the fibre of the State, returns the condition at 90. Seventy-three counties in Georgia representing two-thirds of the crop, report a thrifty growth on a backward season, witb too much rain, a better and cleaner tillage than last year, and less fertilizers used. Rumors of caterpillars jcameup from southwest Georgia.

Improvement is manifest in Florida, with too much rain in some counties and a tendency to tbe shedding of forms. While rains have been frequent in Alabama, the fields generally have been kept clear. Of seven counties which yield a third of the crop of the State, tbe condition is placed at 90 in Bullock, Barlow, Montgomery. Marengo and Russell 80 in Hale, and 100 in Dallas. None are lower than 75, or higher than 110.

The crop is late in Mississippi but growing rapidly. It is graey in places, yet much cleaner than last year the condition ranges from 50 in Tunica, where it was destroyed by the overflow, to 110 in De Soto and several other counties. In Louisiana, planting continued after the overflow until June 15, and the crop, therefore, is Jater than elsewhere, and baa suffered in places from cut-worms, tbe dtontb and excessive rains. Tbe caterpillar baa appeared in Rapides. Barely has Texas had a better promise of a fine crop.
