MISCELLANEOUS SU3I3IAUY.

Davy's Algebra is to be turned out of Yale. Harper's Monthly has a circulation of 130,000.

Fifty-two cities in the United States enjoy the letter carrier system. The Missouri State Normal Schools have been loeated at Kirksville and Sedali i.

The ice in the Potomac is from five to six inches thick. Navigation is wholly suspended.

Six persons, who had each attained the age of ninety years, died at Providence, R. I., last month.

A Portland paper asserts that a man recently walked into the ottice of the Zoin's Advocate, in that pleasant little Maine city, and inquired if Mr. Zion were in.

A Western engineer, with a view to keeping his engine from being "mussed up so" by the mangled remains of track-walk-ers, squirts sc tiding water on them from tho boiler.

The life of aYirginia schoolmaster is not at ail sunshir e. In Fairmouth, the other day, the boys-ducked their pedagogue in a neighboring creek, because ho would not treat them to five dollars' worth of trinkets.

The New York World says "Up-town shop-keepers would do well to put up a sign somewhat to this effect '.Ladies not arre.-sted here'—if they wish to retain their customers."

A colored {-onlloman, during the recent c:ld weather, was asked if he didn't think it was below zero. "IJelow z?ro, chile y/jro done Iroze up long ago, and there's no use talkin' mo' 'bout him." "Widows are estimated by the square mile in New Hampshire. Twenty to the mile is thought a good ratio." Tho Uoston Advertiser says that, but it seems to lie hardly doing justice to the widows. It has usually been admitted that a Miss is as good as a mile, and the widows may well object to being counted twenty for one.

A man stopped at a hotel at Pike's Peak, and on settling his bill tho landlord

charged him §7 a day for live days. "Didn't you make a mistake?" said the guest. "No," said the landlord. "You did," retorted the wiry-looking fellow "you thought you got all the money I had? but j'ou are mistaken I have a whole purse full i:i another pocket."

A curious accident occurred at a church in Meriden, Conn., a few Sundays ago. A gentleman was promenading the aisle with his overcoat on his arm, when from the pocket of the coat, to the amazement of himself and others, slipped a pack of cards. Smiling a ghastly smile, he scooped up as jnany as possible of the pasteboards, and vanished.

A Boston iliicitdistiller of whisky, who was lined §200,000 under Hie United Slates revenue law, and failed to pay, was sentenced to live years' imprisonment in whatever jail in the State suited him best, lie chose Lenox, and, with his wife, occupies nicely furnished rooms there, being allowed the liberty of the jail and the privilege of going to tho postollice.

Oliver Wendell Holmes says a boy should be put in a barrel, in infancy, and led from the bung-hoje till he becomes of age. It is certainly expressing tho idea in a very unique way, but everybody who has had tho care of boys will appreciate the x-emark. There are some it would be better to keep casked after they are of age.

An active spirit of rivalry sprang up between the different telegraph companies as to which should transmit the President's annual message in the shortest space of time. The Western Union sent it at tho rate of twcnty-fivo words per minute the Brokers'and Franklin Companies a) the rate of thirty-three per minute and the Bankers' and Brokers' at the rate of thirty-nine words per minute.

A happy youth in Connecticut has three living grandfathers and six living grandmothers, making nine grandparents. His grandfather, grandmother, greatgrandmother, and great-great-grand-mother are living in the family. Next door lives his grandfather, grandmother, and gieat-grandmother, and within a mile live, his great-grandfather and a third rea t-g rand mot he r.

Tho Albany Evcnin Jourmd calls upon the Legislature to amend the law respecting libel suits, so that persons who sue l"or alleged libels will be required to give security for the payment of the costs. As it now is, any scamp, even John Russell Young, tho notorious sneak news thief, •may bring a suit for libel without giving any security whatever, and, after he is beaten, the successful party have to pay the costs. But if such thieves were obliged to give such security beforo commencing the suit, his defeat would not entail upon his antagonist an unjust imposition. By all means lot the proposed reform bo carried out.

their premises a burglar-trap gun, which was accidentally discharged one Sunday morning, with the effect of peppering with shot a party of young ladies who were on their way to church. Tho employment of trap guns to shoot thieves does not seem to meet with the universal approval. It is seldom that a burglar is known to suffer from one but innocent parties are frequently the victims of the invention, while the cases of individuals WHO carefully set these guns for the protection of their property, and then manage to got,shot themselves for their pains, are

too

numerous

to mention. A New York letter to the Springfield Republican says "A fine-looking couple, who had been spending their'honeymoon,' to all appearances, at a Jersey City hotel, were about to depart a few days ago, when a strange woman, in elegant attire, appeared, and pretty nearly stripped the clothes from the supposed bride. The man quietly looked on, ami, when the performance had ended, turned to the strange woman with the words, 'Come, Amy, let's go home.' The couple in this charming scene were a well-known New York merchant and a 'blonde' ot the New York stage, and the interloper was the merchant's wife."

FitEK.—We don't charge a cent for the following advice—and all who will follow it for the year 1871 will he happy: It is, keep out of debt—out of quarrels— out of law—out of damp clothes—out of reach of brandy and water—out of thin shoes—out of matrimony, unless you are in love.

PnosrEP.or.s.—The Savings Bank lias declared a dividend of five per cent, on all sums over 82 that have been on deposit over six months, and on sums deposited throe months a proportionate rate. And the First National Bank has declared an extra dividend of ten per cent, out of the surplus funds.

Miller's grocery, took fright this morning, and ran up Fourth street at lightning speed, spilling poultry, hog meat and eggs along that street in a very profuse manner, and we venture the assertion that eggs have not had such a fall since the egg-nog season began. The mules were finally brought to a halt somewhere on Sixth street and returned to their starting place, without having broken the wagon or harness, or even getting out of the traces and doing no damage except spilling out the contents of the vehicle.

The Mayor's Court, Hon. Grafton F. Cookerly presiding, did. the following business since our last report:

A "dead beat" drunk war. picked up by officer Wolfe, on South Third street, last night, in a semi-frozen condition, and lodged in 'jail until this morning, when he was brought, into the presence of His Honor, who fined and costed him in the sum of $3 which his "cussed impecuniosity" prevented liisliquidating, and he now languislieth in the Vigo bastile in consequence.

Oflicer Wolfe went down to the jail to take out the prisoners charged with offenses against the laws of the city, .and take them before the Mayor, George W.

It appears that Oeiieiul \ron Moitko, after the battle of Pont Noyelles, between the armies of General Faidlierbe and Manteuflel, sent a message to General Trochu that the French army of the North had been annihilated. General Trochu paid no attention to the statement.

(Special Dispatches to the Torre

Jan. 3.—A severe engage-:

mcnt, in which the French were successful, preceded the evacuation of the town of Gray. The German reports that the German,army of the Loire iiad retreated to Gien is apparently confirmed.

Jan. 3.—A portion of Gen.

Chansey's army is now strongly posted near Vondome. The engagements along the Loire for a week past have been successes for the French. Isear La Chatre 1,300 prisoners were taken by the French.

LONDON3.

—King William gave a reception to-day in the Palace of Versailles to the officers of the German army, in honor of the opening of New Years. The occasion was signalized by the delivery by the King of a short address, in which he said: "The great events which must have preceded our celebration of such a day in such a place, are due to your heroism and perseverence, and to the bravery of our soldiers. Our goai is, however, still uuattained. Important tasks still remain to be performed before we shall achieve a lasting peace, and it would be censurable to make any peace which involves a continuation of the duties which have brought you here."

January 3.—Advices from

Paris to December 30, received here, state that the Parisians unite in urging General Trochu to make a sortie with an enormous force, which can readily be spared for the service, as the weather is moderating, and the artillery for the defense of the city is now so numerous and well manned that the enemy will be unable to make any serious impression upon tho fortifications.

Jan. 3.—A special corres

pondent in Paris sends letters and papers of the 31st ult. He says coal cannot be bought, as it has all been used for casting cannon and by the railways and mills. Wood is nearly gone. The trees in Bois Boulogne and Boulevards are now being cut. Children are dying for want of milk. The total number of deaths for each last two weeks was 2,700. Bread is plentiful. It is not rationed, and it is expected to last to the end of February.

The Prussians continue their field operations, notwithstanding the cold weather.

Trochu says Fort Avron was evacuated voluntarily to escape the Prussian shells, their guns being of longer range than those of lhe French. [he French papers here are joyful over the reported resignation of the Giaustono ministry.

The .Election Libre admits the discussion to its columns as to whether the the French should prolong their resistance or not.

VERSAILLES

Dsc. 30.—It is reported

that the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg was dismissed summarily from his command for not keeping the French at a respectable distance.

It is probable that Boubaki and Chansey will assume the offensive and attack

Prince Frederick Charles, and perhaps with success. The Germans are tired and weary of the war. The outside Frencli ring is contracting while the inside French ring is ascending. The Seine is frozen sufficiently to bear men and guns. The French are plucky about here and may do something of an astonishing nature shortly.

The Election Libre of the 31st of December demands more energetic military movements, and makes incessant attacks on the Provisional Government, and quotes the Presse as saying that the authorities show sluggishness and hesitation.

Le Francais complains that the inhabitants of Rue Isla and Venaturre have been notified to take refuge in Paris and^ escape the Prussian shells, and says that an attack on Palerien isexpccted to commence immediately.

The same paper explains the slight los» at Avron by saying that the garrison as protected by casemates.

MEMPHIS,

January 3. The accident

on the Mississippi & Tennessee Railroad this morning was more teiiible than at first reported. As the train was crossing the iron bridge in Noconnah Bottom, live miles south of here, the axles of the baggage car broke, and a second-class passenger car dashed down the embankment and immediately took fire and burned rapidly.

Peter Kirby, conductor, was standing by the stove at the time, and was dashed against it and severely burned, but managed to extricate himself from the debris and climbed out of the window,

negroes, with whom the car was filled, and who were screaming for aid, but such was the rapidity of the flames that nearly all were injured or burned to death, as the heat prevented those uninjured from rendering much assistance. The next.passengercoach was dashed through the bridge and literally smashed, though few of its occupants were seriously injured.

As soon as the news reached the city a number of surgeons iand others repaired to the scene, and everything was done to relieve the sufferers, most of whom were brought here to the hospital. The following is an incomplete list of the victims, as the surviving negroes were so badly frigntened that they can give no accurate report of the number or names of the lost and killed: Sallie Ames. Senatobia, Miss. Noah Delehanta, Grenada, Miss., fatally injured a youth named Davis, Horn Lake, Miss. W. White, omnibus agent C. Roel, newsboy, Grenada, Beverly Brad. James, wife and mother, Hernando, Miss.

Slightly—Peter Kirby, Chuluhoma, Mississippi Felix Denny, Horn Lake. Mississippi Wolgen, DeSoto, Tennessee, and Sam. River, Horn Lake, Mississippi.

William White and Charles E. C.«.les were pulled out of the burning car by the conductor, and thus escaped an awful death, though little hope is entertained of their recovery.

The screams of the sufferers so appalled many that they were unable to render any assistance. After the lire died out, a skull, supposed to be that of Daniel White, was found on top of the stove.

NEW YORK,

January 3.—A Washing

ton special says there is trustworthy evidence showing that in Georgia during the recent election a systematic, action was taken in many parts of the State to prevent the negroes from voting through fear of violence.

At Atlanta two lines of voters were formed one for whites, on one side of the building, and one for negroes on the other side. Where the whites voted there was no interruption, and votes were rapidly polled but the polling place for negroes was surrounded by a crowd of roughs so densely packed as to render it almost impossible for the black man to go through the roughs, who, while extorting one another to clear the way and let the negro vote, would make still greater effort to close the passage and when the negroes had broken through, and were near the boxes another crowd would force numbers of them into the corner, whence they had difficulty to again extricate themselves. Tho way to the polls was three times cleared by the military, and was again closed up by the same crowd. In one case they deliberately spit into the United States Marshal's face, and then drawing his revolver jumped mon the bench. tiiifl ctvllod out Witii irn'o^taio 1CL Hie riot begin. The Marshal was entirely defenseless, and abandoned the scene and went home.

The Republicans elected three members to Congress whereas they should have had five. The Democrats return four. In tne Macon District there will be a contest by the defeated Republican, Fannin, and it is believed his right to the seat will be maintained. The district where Bradley, colored, ran as an Independent candidate, was lost to the Republicans by about 2,000 negroes going over to him. It is alleged that Bradley was hired to run by the Democrats, and that the price was six hundred dollars.

ATLANTA, GA.,

Jan. 3.—The official

election returns are not fully in but enough has been received to show that the Democrats have carried the Second and Seventh Districts, and the Republicans the Third and Fourth.

Judge O. A. Cochrane has been appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

Attorney General Akerman has purchased a home near Cartersville, Ga.

met face to face, and the lady declared, in great agitation, "Charles Dickens, you have done me injury. I cannot rest. Look at me, so that you may remember me, for I desire to be remembered. You will see me no more." Mr. Dickens soon afterward ascertained that she was the wife of a Colonel iu the Indian army. In a few days came a casket of ebony and ivory to the novelist, containing a portrait of the lady, a lock of her hair, and this note: "I have loved you madly, but the love I have given you I owe to another. I am of my own free will, going to another world, where I may think of you without treachery. Pity me." It was signed, "The lady of the other night." Mr. Dickens

she was dead, with a dagger in her heart. Another of these stories is of a female of more aggressive character. This woman fell in love with the novelist, and wrote him ardent letters, to which he sent no reply. She determined on revenge, and tried to stab the novelist as he was coming out of a theater. But such was the humanity of Dickens that his only desire was to save the unfortunate woman from the legal consequences of her infatuation. He snatched her from the witnesses of her attempted crime, thrust her into the carriage, put his coachman in it to keep her quiet, and himself ascending the box, took the whip and drove away.

One ofGaiubctt'as Eyes was Put Out. A correspondent relates the following story about M. Gambetta: "He has lost an eye, thev say so, at least, and certainly there is something '^ueer about one of his eyes but, however, this is the story: When a boy, Gambetta was sent by his father to a Jesuit's college, where he was to be educated. It would seem little Gambetta had even then a strong dislike for Jesuits, so he requested his father to withdraw him from that school his father, however, not barkening to his request, the boy declared that if he were not taken away by a certain day he would

put out one of his eyes. The father did

pable of performing the threat, and did not give the matter a second thought. However, a few days afterward he received a letter from the principal of the school,, informing him that the boy had put out one of his eyes. The father went to see his son, but still refused to take him home, upon which young Gambetta declared that unless he did tak« him home he would put out the other eye. Upon this, the father thought it advisable to give in. Gambetta's admirers cite this as an instance of the man's precocious determination and firmness of character others, however, can not see in it anything bu't an evidence of an undisciplined and unruly spirit, which has not impoverished since."

A LADY who was acting as gratuitous amanuensis in writing a letter for a lady friend last week, hail the impudence to throw the letter in the lire when nearly finished, for the simple reason that the lady for whom she was writing modestly requested her to close the letter by saying, "Please excuse bad spelling and writing."
