Fur-bearing animals from all quarters of the globe contribute to Kendall MeClennen's ex tensive stock of lur goods in all the latest pat terns; and such weather as we had yesterday tended to increase the number of “fur bearers;'* or, at least, those willing to beat furs.

People in walks of life less chilly do not claim to have noted a point lower than seven or eight above. It was coll though; biting cold, all day long. Municipal Court.—The case of Geo.

A Turkey for the Poor.—Last year, while several benevolent citizens were thinking thank ful thoughts a few days before Thanksgiving, they were moved by the kindness of their hearts to buy a turkey and send to some destitute fel low' citizen, or to the table of the widow ami the fatherless, that the same thankfulness might be awakened among the needy as is so universal on this day of all the year among those whose wants aie well supplied. The task of delivering the turkeys was taken by members of the police force, and the gratitude expressed by the remembered ones was ample payment for the trouble. The same opportunity to ex ercise the blessed piivilege of giving now pre sents itself again. The police know who the destitute families—not able to enjoy such lux uries—are, and if individuals or firms wishing to contribute, will leave the turkeys at the police station, the marshal will see that the needy ones are made happy according to the number brought in. Last year sixty turkeys were dis tributed to poor families from the police office* The Smallest Engine in the World.— The maker of a miniature engine shown ns last evening claims for himself and our city the honor of producing the smallest engine in the world. However great that honor may be, the engine is surely a wondcrlulb 7 small piece of mechanism. It is made of gold and silver, and fastened together with screws, the largest of which is one-eightieth of an inch in size. The engine, boiler, governor and pumps, stand in a space seven-sixteenths of an inch square, and are five-eighths of an inch high. Perhaps a better idea of its smallness will be conveyed by saying that the whole affair may be completely covered with acommon tailor’s thimble. The vnume alone weighs but fifteen grains, and yet every part is complete, as may be seen by a microscopic exami nation; and it may beset in motion by tilling the boiler with water and applying heat, being sup plied with all valves, &c., to be found upon an ordinary upright engine. To attempt an esti mate of its power would seem like rather small business, but, lor a guess, our opinion is that a span of well-fed fleas would furnish more force if they were properly harnessed and shod. The little thing would tug away several minutes if encouraged by a drop of water healed by the ap plication of a burnt finger. Mr. D. A. A.

Paris, Nov. 28.—Up to a late hour last night there was much agitation over the expected fate of Rossel and other leaders of the commune. Extraordinary influences have been brought to bear on the commission of pardons, and the most affecting appeals have been made to the president of the republic. The decision of the former was secret, and it was well known that Thiers was visibly affected at au interview with Rossel’s father, so that this morning it was still doubtful whether Rossel would undergo ihe extreme penalty, ami his friends were hope ful of a commutation, but all doubts were soon dispelled by a dispatch from Versailles officially announcing that the execution had taken place, and Rossel and two ot his companions had been shot. I he following are the particulars of the execu tion ot Rossel and his companions: At 6 o’clock this morning, the piisoners Rossel, Ferre and Bourgeois were taken from their cells and brought to Camp Satory, thence were escorted by a large force to the place fixed upon for their execution. On ai riving there a hollow square was formed by the troops, at one end of which the prisoners were placed. The behavior of the three men was most courageous. When the soldiers approached to blindfold them Ferre refused to allow the bandage to be placed over bis eyes, declaring that he should look his execu tioners in the face. When all the preparations were completed, at seven o’clock, the company which was detailed for the duty advanced, and, levelling their muskets at the word of command, tiled. Rossel fell at the first discharge, instant ly killed. The others were not so fortunate; the bullets did not take immediate effect, and as they were writhing on the ground some ot soldiers of the tiring party, in obedience to in structions, came up with pistols and put them out of agony. The bodies were then placed in plain coffins and immediately removed. The execution took place in presence of three thou sand troops of the line. A profound sensation was produced throughout the city by the details of the execution. The death of young Rossel is lamented even by those who felt that it was de manded by justice and the best interests of the country. Great Britain. THE HEALTH OF THE PRINCE. London, Nov. 28—aVoo/l —The journals this morning reflected the uneasiness which is con cealed by no one with regard to the condition of the prince ot Wales. Some gave rumors, repre sented ascurrcnt at Windsor, that he was worse and much alarm felt at theeastle. This,coupled with the announcement that the queen would probably remain all day to-day at the Sandring ham residence of the prince, strengthened the impression. The crisis of the fever is at hand and the dinger is great, but the latest bulletin of the prince’s physicians issued since the appear ance of the morning papers, is unexpectedly re assuring, and tends to relieve the anxiety caused by the newspaper reports. It was staled that the prince was able to sleep during the night, and that the fever was lessening. ROYAL AUDIENCE.

The telegraphic dispatch recently foisted upon nearly all the newspapers in the kingdom, an nouncing the amalgamation of the leading rail road Jines, is found to be a forgery. The direc tors of the Midland railway company have offered a large reward tor the detection and ar rest of the perpetrators. The newspapers com ment on the U ansaction in unqualified terms.

Meeting of the Oenernl A**ciubly—The Governor’s Mt-Mongv, etc. Columbia, Nov. 28. —The general assembly met to-day, when Governor Scott’s message was read. The governor slates that the whole debt is $11,994,908, which statement he knows, from severe personal scrutiny, to be correct, nothing beinn suppressed. He argues that the deprecia tion of the state credit is due to the persistent threats of repudiation made by individuals and the press for political purposes, without which the debt would not exceed $10,000,000. He is confident that the state will pay all obligations to the last cent. He recommended that the legislature prohibit the borrowing of money or contracting of debts to meet the current ex penses. lie condemns extra sessions of the legislature, without which attacks of the oppo sition could not be successful. He urges the legislature to make the session short and economical, and recommends a fixed salary to members; that numerous offices be abolished; that the salaries of all officials, ex cept judges, be reduced one third; that the tax on real estate be lessened; that a license system be adopted; that rice, cotton and railroad ton nage be taxed; that the bonds of the state be be taken at par in payment of land bought at tax sales, on the title being warranted by the state; that public lauds, to rhe value of a mil lion of dollars, be sold, and state bonds taken in payment. lie reviewed at length the causes which led him to ask a suspension of the habeas corpus, as, under the kuklux law,he claims that concilia tion proved useless, and the courts would not act, and that the whites mistook magnanimity lor weakness. He declined to call out the militia, because it consisted of negroes who would have been slaughtered, and the people led to believe that the conflict was between negroes and whites, instead of between friends of the government and its enemies. As late as last spring, many promi* nent citizens promised him their co-operation in the suppression of kukluxism, but they effected nothing, and, the civil power being exhausted, the governor applied to the national Roverm ment to protect the statu against domestic vlo? lence,. He approves the principle of minority repro sentation; advises changes in the election law, to prevent fraud; jirgvs the legislature tO avoid all unnecessary appropriations, and believes the legislature will so act as to prove that republic canism and good government in South l'aro» lina are not, as falsely alleged, inconsistent with each other.

It has pro gressed so far as to show that Spain, instead of heeding its promises, has violated them in the boldest manner. There is the best of reason to believe that this government has taken a most important step, which, if not met by unapolo getic spirit, may lead at once to the gravest consequences. Indeed a United States naval fleet much larger than is required to protect the itiotfenUve Hornet at Port uu Prince will sud denly appear in Cuban waters. Astronomical Photographs.—Mr. Proctor of England is preparing for the press a work on the moon, founded on and illustrated bv the ex quisite photographs of Mr. Lewis M. Rutherford ot New lork, whose skill in precise mechanism and in all that relates to celestial photography is so well known at home and appreciated abroad. Mr. Rutherford’s success has been achieved by a minute and laborious attention to the adjustment of his telescope and to the lubri cation and regulation of its moving parts, while the actinic locus, which differs in position from the visual one, has been obtained, in the first in stence, by experiment when the iron tube of the telescope bad a determined temperature, and lias been recovered al any other temperature, from the known rate of the expansion of the tube; the photographic plate being moved a corre sponding distance by meansofa micrometer screw. His pre-eminent success has, however, been mainly due to his patient work in forming a lens to the principal focus of which are con veyed the photographic instead of the visual rays. Some idea may be formed of the labor and delicacy of this operation when it is known that every correction that the lens required in the process of its construction was determined bv taking photographs either of the star Sinus or ot Vega, and any irregularity of the photo graphic impression of the star demanded a par ticular abrasion to be applied to the surface of the lens before the next photograph was taken. 11 this process of correction is found laborious w hen applied to the visual rays, which can he directly seen and studied, how much more so is it when the telescope has to be driven with ab solute precision by delicately adjusted clack work during exposures of the plate lasting sev eral minutes for each photographic plate ob tained! With this telescope photographs of the Pleiades have been obtained; each star ot ihe group, of about thirty components, appearing as a clear, round dot. Alcyone, the principal star ol the cluster, gives an impression exactly like a period of punctuation in diamond tvpe, while the. photographic images of the other stars diminish with their apparent magnitude, as de termined by the eye. Plates so secured are permanent records of the heavens, and can be studied mi< rometrically at leisure the result of a lew measures on such plates living of more value than long series of observations made by the ordinary micrometric eye piece. The scien tific men of all ecunthes will look to the meas* tires in the plates as aflbrding them the heat data tor solving that most refined ot all astronomical problems, Gs the parallax and distance of a fixed star.
