__r Liverpool und a hiar?tot,M are the words,
you know, in the ship's munifest, when the mast?i
intends to keep sailing about from port lo port ti?
'til he lind.s a buyer for his valuable cargo. Foi
?Saratoga and a liuirket, is (he tleattiuation ol'inanv
a mercenary mother fimn New York, or Ballimnre,
, or .Boston, who with her precious freight of maiden
charms, makes her ilrst landing here, only to und,
after a wt'ek's observation, that it may Be worth
her while to touch at the White Mountains, whence
radio goes, perhaps, to get ? wet blanket -for her
hopes nt Newport, and at length chill lier aspira
tions in the spray of Niagara.
. "I know ?me woman," mid niy friend Nick, nn
habitue of .Saratoga, who will nev?-.r be so absurd
as toiook to the future for her fortieth birthday?
"I know an old ladv who had uruiscd about in this

men as a general thing, aiid the result iy that her

once), by the wind ami weather eiicouiilcrcfi in all
.these weary veals of navigation tow'aril tho haven
of "matrimony, which now seems' farther off'than
ever." ' ' ?
I ?lavtTlv know whither it is more r.imising or
nuduneholy to look at the-belles of six or seven
years ago,* who come back every season, partly,' 1
: suppose, by force of habit, and-*partly ironi sym
pathy with the. scene? of former iritimnhfc?only'to
lind that new beauties arc dancing with old beaux,
? wlio.nojv scarcely ,rucogiiiz(! in the sharp features
... and withered fornis, or in the triple cliinu andas
pandod waist?, the ?laiitty.dainsuls whose lithe hg
urcB and charming Ummur.es wore the envy ?if
their ?iwn sex and the admiration ?if the other.
Alas! someta* them hare been spoiled by wedlock,
and some for the lack ?f it. Others by flirtations'
more numerous than discreet liavo sullied their
good names, and are Jess rekpqfcted than thoy guess,
. .cither, by their own or tb.c moro indulgent sex.
This is not always just, but it in inevitable. Bont??
.times, however," suspicion! was better warranted
than tho unscrupt?ons critic knew;'and while the
Keuniial-moiigcra meant only injury they were un
wittingly tolling the truth, "Their presence hero*
I mean the decayed belles with decayed reputa
tions?very forcibly reminds ?me of certain court
ladies with similar antecedents, of whom the great
English" satirist ?ays ;
"From room to room the (.'hosts ef beauty nli?le,
Ami haunt the placoi where their honor uled."
There is still another class who visit Saratoga
with strntegi'tical purposes,' who might be desig
, nated as wifi-hunters, only that the woman is 0
. 'matter ?if quite secondary interest. It is not
Cinl?hs in search of a wife, but Ciclcbs in ?piest of
a fortune?larger or less; tho possible Wife being
regarded merely as n mortgage upon the estate.
These fellows, always independent aud often clever,
Bonictinn-s impose upon weak mammas and even
susceptible maidens. Doubtless, pleasant ac
quaintanceships are often ma?lc between worthy
people at the fashionable summer resorts, which,
alter the. probation of n subsequent intimacy, re
sult in marriages as felicitous as any in the world.
But I think it may be set down as a rule, with no
important exceptions, that n?i sensible man, who
doservoH to have a good wife, ever seeks her in a
ball-room or in the salons o?' a popular watering
place.
In the career of m. re adventurers of both sexes
there is now and then an instance of poetical jus
tice fully equal t?) the example which one so much
admires in tho inventions of the bards and dra
matists. We liad a cuso of this sort at ?Saratoga
Two seasons ago. Suppressing the real names,
now, happily for the parties, to be found only in
the newspapers ?if the time, it is sufficient to relate
that Mr. Impecunious llrown anil Miss Impceunia
Jones fell mutually in love at remarkable short
notice?that is, each became suddenly enamored
of the other's putative pecuniary attractions. Both
being, for obvious reasons, in a hurry quite too
bewildering to permit a nice examination of title
deeds, thoy found themselves, married and half
through their wedding tour before they discovered
that'they had been mutually imposed upon. The
general verdict of "Served 'em light" was a poor
consolation to the nuhappy parties, whose mutual
recriminations were as diverting to their neighbors
an the alliance was distrecsing to themselves.
There are a good miinv fashionable turnouts lo
be seen at the fashionable hour for driving?any
time after tlinncr?but the most remarkable affair
is a low-set wagon, with a willow frame very gaily
upholstered, drawn by two splendid horses, which
-arc driven by a lady. * An o; :ginal, or rather abo
riginal, feature of "the establishment is the pre
sence in the footman's chair of a small savage?"a
Sretty little Indian"?(like the one belonging to
ohn Brown in the ballad)?borrowed for the sea
son from a neighboring encampment.
General K. E. L.ec.
Wo have already announced that General R. E.
Lee had been offered the Presidency of Washing
ton College, Lexington, Va. Judge John Brochen
borough, one of the visitors of the College, was
sent to inform him of his election, and at OUV littest
advices from Lexington had not returned. It is,
therefore, not known whether General Lee will ac
cent the position-, but in the absence of positive
information on the subject, we arc inclined to
tliiuk tiiat he will not. He has recently expressed
the intention of leasing a grazing farm in Allo
marle, and residing upon it with his family. Dur
ing the past week he and Mrs. Loo have been ou a
visit to Bremo, the plantation of General Philip St.
George Coeke, fifteen or twenty miles above Car
tersville, and was met there by Judge Brocken
borough.

ly after chartered as a college. In 1878 it was
further endowed with ono hunered thousand dol

suited to all conditions of Ufe.
TIl? reports that it relies upon mineral substances for
its active properties, are wholly false. For tbe satiafae>

physicians, we append a list of its components.
Calisaya Babk.?Celebrated for over two hundred
years in the treatment of Fever and Aguo, Dyspepsia,
Weakness, etc. It wan introduced into Europe by the
Countess, wife of the Viceroy of Peru, in 1040, and after
wards sold by tbe Jusuits for the enormous prier of ils
own weight in silver, under tbe name Of Jesuit's Powders,
and was finally made public by Louis XVI, King of
France. Humboldt makes especial reference to its febri
fuge qualities during bis South American travels.
Cascarilla Bark?For diarrbcea, colic and diseases of
the stomach and bowels.
Dandelion?For inflammation of tbe loins and drop
sical affections.
Ciiamomilx Floweba?For enfeebled digestion.
Lavender Flowers?Aromatic, stimulant and tonic?
highly invigorating in nervous debility.

Messrs. Fisher k Haskell, Cotto* Planters at Newbern, N. C, write, July, 1865, as foUows:
"Tut- Phonphate of Lime we purchased of you gives good satisfaction. Lust year we applied fifty-five (.r>5) tons to
three hundred and seventy-live {S7BJ an es of land for cotton, say about (MOO) three hundred pounds per acre. We rub
bed the peed in the Phosphate, and ?tlso sowed it in the driU with the st>ed at Hie time of planting. On a portion of
t belaud we applied a top dressing of the Lime at the Hccond hoeing. Throughout the season the cotton plants grew j
well?the leaven were of a daric, healthy color, aud " No BUSX" was seou on the plantation. The ravages of thei
army woroi prevented us from reabzing tho benefit from our outlay for the Lime in full, stUl the large number of
partly grown bolls and form s gave some idea o? what the crop would have been could they have matured. Al
though we saved a large ejuautity of manure on tbe place lattt year, our confidence in the value of your Phosphate
led us to purchase of you last spring seventy tons, one-half of which we used ourselves, and tbe balance was
bought for a friend, who was satisfied of its worth in cotton culture. At the time of writing this, our crop is look
ing finely, and promises au abundant yield. One portion of our plantation consists of highlands with a clay sub
soil, running near the surface; the remainder is n'ai and inclined to be sandy. The owner of the place te'lls its that
bo did uot succeed with cot ton on this last part; but owing, as we think, to the liberal uae of your Phosphate, we
have now a good crop growing upon it. ThiB is but tbe second season of cotton growing with us; still, from our
exp?rience thus far. we do not hesitate to rot oinnieud your Phosphate of Lime as a manure well adapted to tbe
wants of the cotton planter."
NEWBEnnv, 8. C, October, 1W.0.
Profc-6sor J. J. Mapes?Peer ?ir: I bought twenty bags of your Nitrogenized Superphosphate of Lime, of
your Agents, Messrs. H. & N. E. Solomon, Hamburg, 8. C. (who solicited a statement of its effects), and applied it
to forty acres of my poorest cotton bind.
This land in ou the public road, where its effects were soen. My neighbors, who are acquainted with the land,
were astonished ut the luxuriant growth of the cotton where I used your Huperphosphate. It produced better cot
ton, and ?larger amount, than on my good land; less work wus needed in making tbe cotton than on my other
Und. Sot a particle of rutt was to be seen where I applied your Superphosphate, while the rnst prevailed over
evtry otier portion of tbe crop.
Respectfully yours, DAVID PAYNE.
Note.?Mr. Payne's good land compares favorably with the best cotton lands on the Saluda River. Tbe Saluda
bottoms Are proverbial for producing large quanti tics of cotton.

Mr. J. ?T. Mam?? Dear Sir: In reply to yours of the 1st inst., ? cheerfully state: I have used Mapes' Nitrc
ge ni-.'.ei Superphosphate of Limo on my esttON of the prosent year, and am perfectly aatiatied with it? yield.
I can recommend it to my neighbors with confidence, as a pure and effective manure, and would give it the
preference to any other in tbe market.
Yours, respectfully, TH08. DAVIS.
Mr. Cbarlss Vf. Mixon, of Ednnton, Chowan County, N. C, writes to Mr. Bockover:
In regard to Mapi<?' Phosphate it worked admirably for me, tbe product being fully eclual if not superior to
both the manures before mentioned. It did not start the young plant as early as either the other manures; but it
seemed to retain its color and poda much better, and no symptom of rust was ever seen where it was applied?all
the land 1 planted in cotton being about the same quality and strength. CHARLES W. MIXON.
Extract from a letter from Colonol Gideon Dowse, of Ber/elia, noar Augusta, Ga., August, 18f>0:
3. ?. Mates?Dear Sir: I bave no hesitation in saying that on ray own farm your Superphosphate lus been,
and is now, superior in its effects, where I have applied it on my cotton, to either lot-manure or cotton seed; and,
as ccinjand to the hind without manure iu tbe some field (in ray opinion the only true way to test it), it is a? four
to one in the number of grown bolls, and as ten to one in tbe young fruit and forms, in favor of tbe S.upcrphoa
rbate. . . '__ _
Thiaopinion is binned rroni a uioec and critical examination by my overseer and myseir. There Ik one result
from its application, which, if it had nothing eine to recommend it, is of Incalculable value, and that is. It docs
sccro to guard against that worst enemy of the cotton plant, namely, the rust.
I have ui>plit'?l it to land that invariably ruHta cotton, and there in as yet not a sign of rust In it, while the same
kind of land just adjoining is ?ximph'ttfy ruined by it ?Greedy.
Thl? experiment conilrins that mode by Mr. Loman, of 8. C, last your ; and I am fully persuaded that any plant
manure?! with it doea withstand a tire ught better and keeps prtxn longer than with any other application that han
come under my notice. 1 have seen cotton, corn, okra, melons and other gordep planta,' that havu kept green
during the tembl? drought that lion so completely destroyed all our gardens, and my nutmeg melons are an green
and blooming as beautiliiUy a* in spring.
I have written thia a? the result of my judgment from clone observation. When I a h all have gathered my crops
it will give me pleasure to give you the munit from actual weight and measure.
You?, GIDEON DOWSE.
Extr?ct from Weekly Day-Book:
New Tobk, October 29, iWO.
7 "We bave, in the course of an extctisive agricultural correspondence, gathered evidence of the superior voice
of MapM' N'itrogeni/nl Superphosphate of Lime upon the cotton tields of the South, where i'? mviun (Jimno had
been used .with, partial sutx-ess. The ooMchuve been heavier, and of greater number, the yivliot cotton per acre has
been lor?cr, and what is also of the greatest consequent?, no nut is discovered in cotton fields where this article is
applied, fo"which may be added its peculiar lusting ji? wer of fertilization, and it? comparative oheapne.is. Tiiean
facto have conic to us in correspondence from partios who have used other like agents, and who give thin by far the
highest pra'se. .
"We have arrived at tho conclusion, after considerable experiment ourselves, and of careful search for the re
sults of the trial? of others, that Mopes ' Fertilizer has more of tho property needed in a general manure, in horticul
ture and'agriculture; than any thing- else of the kind we are acquainted with."
