Mayor E lam , having entered
upon the discharge of his official
dutiöS, stood an impromptu cham
pagne treat yesterday at the Sumter
ïîpuée, to a number of his friends
wjio rallied at his call. The "chris
tening" ceremony was performed
■with all due solemnity and gusto.
t3P The weather continues clear,
cool and charming, and highly fa
vorable to the farming population
who are busy gathering in the cotton
and sweet potatoes. Of the latter
there, is an abundant crop, which
.like everything else these times,
meets with good demand in our mar
ket at high prices. The cotton yield,
owing to the fine picking season, will
turn out larger than was anticipated
a few-weeks since.

to kno.w that two of our old, respected
and useful fellow-citizens are about to
remove from here to other parts. Mr.

jeweler, and Dr. D. L. M c K itrick»
Dèniist, together with their families,
are inteoding to leave soon for Hous

tl^at bustling, thriving city. We
trust that the loss which our commu
nity wiil sustain in their departure
may prove a gain to those gentlemen
"fti "point of prosperity. We would
commend their future welfare to the
Töstering carë and attention of the
Houston people. „
ÂÉàf The Observer newspaper has

C otton S tealing and S ome of
its C onsequences.— On Tuesday
night, a couple of negroes with a
mule and wagon were detected by
.Mr. J efferson T homas and others
stealing ginned cotton from that gen
tleman's place on the Plank Road
about five miles from town. One of
the negroes, (supposed to be named
L ewis N oblet, from papers found
in his possession), threatening to
«hoot at the detecting party, was
fired upou and killed, but by whom,
ïr not yet known. A white man»
named II enry A. T urner was found
oil thé spot uuder suspicious circum
stances and is supposed to have been
connected with the npgroes in the
cotton transaction. He was arrested
and brought to town for trial before
Justice T r X oy .
The mule and wagon are the prop
erty of one L. F ranck, of this city,
and from statements made by the in
dividual T urner, it is supposed that
the whole plan tor stealing the cotton
was arranged by «aid F ranck.
We learn that L ewis N oblet, bet
ter known hereabouts as L ewis T es
sier , had always borne a very good
character, previous to his unfortunate
participation in this affair.
Hftj y J. T. Peel, of Cincinnati, bas
patented anew material for all articles
commonly made from plaster of Pari?.
He eîiâinia that the composition is in
destructible, and not affected by expo
sure to the atmosphere. One of the
first uses he made of it is in the
shape of a medallion of Abraham Lin
c61n, the frame being of the same ma
terial. Coal tar and brick dust are
used largely in the manufacture of
the compositioD.
The Hew Prime Minister of
The death of Lord P almerrton, the
late English Premier, has bad the
effect of replacing Lord J ohn R ubsell
in that high position. As the Pitts
burg Chronicle says, he is not a
stranger to the office, having succeed
ed Sit Robert Peel in 1846 and cbri
tinued in power until February, 188Î,
when a hostile vote of the House of
Commons broke bis ministry up. He
is now in his seventy-fourth year, pnd
is disposed to be conservative to the
poiut 'of liberality. He has shown
himself, while holding the position of
Foreign Minister, to be quite unfriend
ly to the United States. It is quite
probable that his late correspondence
with Mr. A dams was the cause of<his
present appointment. ' It may be ac
cepted as the result of the change
which has been caused by Lord P al
mebston's death that our relations
with the English Government will not
be altogether so amicable. , s
Although P almerston disliked us
as heartily in point pf fact as EafI
D erby, he was a cautious and even
timid statesman, and exibited a will
ingness to temporize and make con
cessions, rather than involve his nation
in war. Owing to this policy Eng
land has of late kept remarkably free
from broils,* though at- the cost of a
great discoust of reputation in Europe,
which now regards France as the
leadibg power of international con
cerns. It must be admitted that the
English people, who do not lack
pluck, whatever other virtues they are
deficient in, have exhibited considera
ble restiveness under the pacific ad
minstration of P almerston, and the
leading journals have often .censured
it severely, whilst Punch has made it
the subject of many malicious car
toons. It remains to be seen whether
R ussell, moved by an ambition to
evince greater energy than his prede
cessor, will give in to the belligerent
disposition of his countrymen, and
hold such a tone toward our Govern
ment as will provoke a serious differ
ence. ' ' J
We hardly apprehend that such will
be the case. Indisposed as we are to
encounter the burdens and oerils of a
fresh war, the English have even great
er reason to dread sueh a contingency.
They could not think for a moment of
competing with us on land, and their
merchants have no reason to invite
our hostility an sea. It has often been
remarked that a war between the two
nations would be a great calamity
There can be no questions of it. But
we have men and material of war at
hand, and our country has hardly yet
settled long enough in ^he paths of
peace to make a war so tremendous a
transition as it would be in the case of
England, The English Government
cannot shut its eyes to the rapidly de
veloping schemes of Russian dominion
in the direction of India and fail to take
into account the strong friendship
which at present exists between Wash
ington and St. Petersburg. We feel
then tolerably assured that Lord llus.
sell, captious and caviling and hostile
as he is, will not dare to hazard an
open rupture with this nation and that
our only squabbles for awhile will be
waged on paper, even if they do not
fade with the ink which registers them.
The latest telegrams state
that cotton at Liverpool on the 1st
inst., had declined two pence.
The cholera had commenced its
ravages in Paris. !!/,,■
No new cases had appeared at
the New York quarantine, and it
was hoped the cholera would soon
disappear from there.
It is understood that Gen. J ohn
A. L ogan accepts the mission to
Japan.
Extensive preparations are being
made in Canada to meet the Fenian
movement, a force of some G000 men
in addition to about 16,000 regulars
in Canada, will be raised.
There is general indignation in Gov
ernment and diplomatic circles, in
Washington at the wanton attack of
Spain on Chili, the Spanish blockad
ing squadron consisting of seven ves
sels. t , t
The greatest unanimity prevails
among the Chilians.

New Wine Producing
Every year brings to light some
new discovery in the vegetable king
dom, and developes some property
hitherto dormant iu the nature of
plants, susceptible of being turned
. to profitably aeconnti Horticultural,
like other sciences, is progressive.
B.y careful culture, the products in
digenous to our soil, are improved
and perfected, and the tenderest ex
otic may be acclimatized and brought
to full maturity. But it is only
through a proper botanical under
standing and an application of
chemical principles to the organic
properties of plants, that we can be
made to realize the various uses and
benefits which many of them pos
sess. It was by some such skillful
agency we opine, that in certain
northern localities they have suc
ceeded in manufacturing a valuable
winè from a plant technically called
the " Linnaeus Plant." In appear
ance it is said to resemble somewhat
the rhubarb or "pie plant," though
entirely dissimilar in its chemical
qualities. It will flourish on ordi
nary corn-land. Set out in the fall
or spring, it is ready ft> be mâde into
wine in the following July or Au-,
gust. It can be manufactured in an
ordinary cider-press. During the
present season it has been success
fully produced in Stamford aud
Greenwich, Connecticut. The sworn
statements of seven cultivators o^
those towns declare that, in tbe ag
gregate, they set out 3,264 plants,
which cost them forty cents each,
and' that in July and August they
manufactured therefrom 4,006 gal
lons of wine, the plants at the same
time producing more than 20,000
other plants for resetting this fall.
Some of these gentlemen say they
can readily sell their wine for $2 50
per gallon. One of them, an experi
enced 5 horticulturist, who made 1,500
gallons, declares that the wine, in
many of its qualities, "is superior to
any ever before manufactured in this
country or imported from Europe."
The plant is being extensively cul
tivated in Broome and Chenango
counties, in New York. United States
District Attorney Dickinson, Judge
Griswold, Congressman Hotchkiss,
and other prominent citizens of Bing
hamton, testify that the wine pos
sesses "a beauty of flavor and a
delicacy of taste seldom, if ever, ex
celled by the best Sherry wines of
Europe," and that the plant cannot
fail " to be a great and sure source of
revenue to all who engage in its cul
tivation." Some of those who have
tried the wiue say that it seems to be
a cross between Madeira and Sherry,
with the best qualities of each.
We should like, to see the experi
ment tried of cultivating the "Lin
nseus Plant" on some of the lands in
our Parish. It would be worth a
fair trial, and would likely prove
successful. Who will be the first to
undertakeif' ? "The chances ate, that
he would be richly paid in the end
for his pains. If the wine is what it
is "cracked up to be," and it could
be manufactured here in quantities,
the enterprise would prove one of the
most money-making that could be
started.

Important Revenu« Decision,
War Declared between Spain and Chili.
[Special by Telegraph to th* New Orleans Timai.j
WiaHiNöioH, Kov. 9.—Henceforth pub
lishers of newspapers and manufacturera
of articles enumerated in section 96, of th«
tax laws, will only have to take a manu
facturers' license, and not pay tax on sale*
under a dealers' license.
New Yobk , Nov. 10.—The steamer Ocean
Queen from Aspinwall, reports war declar
ed between Spain and Chili, and flva porta
of the latter declared by Admiral Posaea
blockaded since the 24th ult. The diplo
matic corps in Chili protest emphatically
against the mode of blockade, tbe Admiral
proposing to maintain it by cruisers.
A panic was occasioned bv the sudden
nipW», unprecedented in Chili. Business
was greatly prostrated. The English
steamers between Panama aud Valparaiso
have no passengers or freight for any point
south of Bolivia.

Disaffection was arising among the re

their bodies binding together to aasiat

E xemption of the J ews from the
C holera .-—Referring to the fact, that
tbe Jews bave almost universally been
exempt from, (be ravagea of the chole
ra now prevailing in Europe, the
Chicago Times says ;
The probable rationale of the es
cape of the Jèws from attack by chol
era is owing not 90 much to a disbe
lief in the new testament as in the
cleanliness of their food and their per
sons. Their selections of animal food
do not embrace some of the grosser
kinds, and which they do eat is pre
pared with care. Their ablutions is a
part of their religion, and this is a pre
ventive against cholera, than which
there is nothiDg better. Therefore let
people who wish to guard against this
scourge join tbe Jews if they wish to.
But there may be those who dislike
circumcision, and who have not time
to look through the talmud and tbe
Jewish theology ; and to these we
would suggest that an imitation of tbe
Jewish cleanliness and care in the se
lection of food are, in the main, as ef
ficatious preventatives against cholera
as a full membership of a synagogue.
The leaves of the elder, if
strewed among corn or other ?r*in,
when it is put in tbe bin. will effectu
ally preserve it from tbe ravages of the
weevil. Tbe juicé will also kill bed
bugs. Insects never touch elder
bushes The leaves of tbe elder
scattered over cabbage, cucumbers,
squashes, and other plants subject to
the ravages of insects, effectually
shield them. The plum and other
fruits may be saved by placing on the
branches, and among tbem, bunches
of the leaves.
