Alter the calm serenity of a well-spent
Babbath, and the good words usually
heard upon that day, it is eusy to imag
ine tho serene and placid countenance of
onr City Father-in-Ohief. Oppressed
with the exceasive labors of the week, his
mind racked by grave questions of juris
diction, and the eternal buzz of “910
and costa”ringing in biscars, bo repaired
to tbo old log church where his youthful
lips first learned to mutter words of grati
tude. Ho sat down, and ohl what a smile
of sweet beatitude illumed bis broad and
expressive fenturos as bo reflected it was
not his turn to speak to-day; that he
could drink in tho deep inspiration of
words spoken by another; that for the
nonce lie could firmly close his lips and
give his weary tongue a rest! Ah, there
are pleasant moments iu one's life— -mo
ments, though never to bo recalled, are
novor to l>o forgotten—moments whon
nature opens up to oar enchanted gaze
all of Jiorcurious beauties; when we revel
in greon pastures aud sip tho pure nec
tar from tho babbling brook; aud whon
the softest and tiniest of melodies are
wafted to our ears by the iUolian breeze,
breathed from tho lips of Sylvan sprites!
His Honor was carried away in tho holiest
of raptnres, and as the hoars flew on,
and evening grew into inky shade,
and the moon bad revolved her nightly
ronnd, reflecting a glorious light upon
his face, ho still became deeper and
deeper immersed in tbe all-absorbing
scene, and was only recalled to conscious

stentorian notes of tho newsboys ns they
shouted “Here's yor morniu’ paper I—

dish!" His Honorshook himself strong
ly, and as he hoard the namo repeated,
he murmured, “Surely, that issomo great

And there ho sat in the Mayor's chair,
looking at pence with all mankind.—

A GYPSY CAMP
In the rear of tho Beoond Ward, near
Kries's, was molested on Saturday
night A largo numkur of virtnous col
ored maidens, attended by their natural
protectors from McPhorson Barracks,
made up a masquerade ball No room
of convenient sizo being available, they
retired to n sequostersd grove, and in
dulged in high carnival. Music aud
mirth presided, and white, black, yellow,
streuked and striped, mingled in happy
profusion, chasing the glowiug hours
with flying feet Tho maidens were
happy—oh I so happy I Their white ad
mirers wore so handsome—so military in
their lieariug, aud such perfect models of
gentlemanly groeo and propriety—just

down like tho Assyrian upon the fold, or,
in the more oxpressivo language of tho

The brave soldiers clutched their trusty
weapons and—run I Tho maidens scream
ed and fainted. Dire confusion reigned
supreme. The soldiers fortified them
selves in the adjoining thickets, aud hid
liko mice. The maidens assured tho po-
lioe that naught was wrong—that it was
only a little fun—only that, and nothing
more. Misses Lizzie Pattorson, Ellon
Gartrell, Amsnda Banders, Pegg White,
Mattio Wilson, Norsk Shaw, Til

(the latter wearing a bridal veil,
and the crowd representing every
tint of the rainbow), were soenrod and
led off to the oalabooee. The victors
continued the search after Unole Sam’s
retainers, and found Major Charles

“Company Fund.” We looked at their

He is an active young mnn, and ono of

FINANCIAL AMD COMMERCIAL.
Oi-tice of Atlanta Daily Sun, I
Atlanta, July 31, 1871. \
REMARKS FOR THE WEEK.
Dnring the week ending to-day, trade
has been nnnanally brisk for Jhe season.
It baa been a source of pleasure to see so
many evidences of prosperity. Tbe week
has been marked by several important
eventa for the commercial men of our
city. The first is the movement set on
foot for the establishment of a chamber
of commerce, whioh bids fair to have
happy termination. This is a subject
which had been previously jiretty woll
canvassed and received tho endorsement
of every intelligent business man in the
community. At the meeting held for
that purpose on Saturday night, Mr. Nor-
cross struck the key note when he refer
red to the defenceless condition of Atlan
la, and her inability to meet, with a uni
ted front, any encroachments sought to
ho made by railroad and other monopo
lies. While other cities have their organ
izations by which thoy were fully protec
ted, Atlanta has suffered grievously from
freight discriminations. All this, he ar
gued, must bo remedied, if we would
have Atlanta a great commercial empo
rium. With Mr. Norcross wo most fully
agree, and hope that on the meeting of
next Monday night final organization
will bo completed, and then our commer
cial statue will take shape and develop it
self into activity.
Another, and a lamentable, incident of
the week was the injury, to a great
extent, of the cotton crop by the recent
storms. The promised crop was small,
but now is much more so, judging from
conversations with leading planters. We
cherish the hope that tho injury has been
exaggerated. As wo havo remarked in a
previous article, this cannot fail to influ
ence tho ootton trade of tho coming sea
son.
The third event of interest was tho re
duction in breadstufls. Tho Western
market was very fluctuating, but the ten
dency to fall has been very strong, and
os wo write flour is reduced 25 cents, and
so of tbe rest. This wo deem an impor
tant fact at this time, and ono indicative
of still further decline.
In general matters, such ns dry goods,
money, hardware, etc., much spirit has
been exhibited, though the tendency to
speculato has been interfered with by the
tightness of money.
REMARKS FOR TO-DAY.
The general turn of tho market to-day
has been dull, and but little retail or
wholesalo demand has been felt. Mon
day, as a general thing, is a dull day, as
it is spent in surveying tho situation for
the coming week. As business does not set
in in good earnest till the second or third
day, much fluctuation in quotations is
not to bo looked for. Tho leading de
maud seems to be for breadstuff's and.dry
goods. In agricultural implements there
is much competition, and quite a strong
tendency to “come down” on other deal
ers. This branch lias, in the past year or
so, grown to bo quite an item in our
trade. It is ono which we are proud to
soo encouraged, ns it indicates intelligent
farming. We havo been told that all im
proved patterns hnve been eagerly bought
up. During tho year the seed tr.ido has
developed into somo prominence, and is
still receiving a great deal of attention.
Wo learn that one of our most intelligent
young dealers contemplates making ar
rangements so os to get his supply of
seeds direct from the growers instead of
tho dealers. This movement, if effected,
will occasion n revolution in prices.
FINANCIAL.
Money matters havo been quieter than
at any previous timo during the week.—
Our eagles seem to be afraid of gottiug
their feathers clipped. Atlanta 8 per
cent, bonds seem to bo very uncertain
for which ono Ranking House quotes
them at 83(u-85e., (tho quotation found
in our list;) auothor, of equal reliability,
values them at 75©80c., which, it will bo
observed, is an important difference.

A DIS1IONUST DIIAVMAN.
lie Makes 915 and Spends It.
Henry Powell is a drayman. That is
one very good point in Henry. But Hen
ry is not honest This is considered by
somo old fogies to be a bad point in Hen
ry. Henry, however, has been reading
something about New York gold transac
tions, and lie saw by them that the lino
between ,neum and teum was not very
clearly drawn ; in fact, ho was tempted
to believe that possession was nlno parts
of the law.
Early Lit week Henry was employed
to drivo n dray. Ho entered upon the
dutiosof his position, and tho manner in
which he tossed about packages was a cau
tion. Henry was pretty successful, and
by tho end of the week had amassed a
small fortune—315. Ho felt so much
like a free citizen that he got oi\ a drunk
at once, aud bought his Araminta lots of
presents. Oh I that was a delightful
timo. At last the 815 was spent, and
Henry was almost flat: but he
recollected that tho horse and
dray still remained. Now, Henry
took counsel with himself, and the
result was that the harness disappeared,
and Henry was again happy. But this
gave oul also, and Henry set on foot a
trade for the horso and dray. His evil
star shone on him here, and ho was nr
raigned before Justice Smith. Our fat
judicial friend got it into -his head that
tho innocent Henry was guilty of larceny
after trust, und bound him over. Henry
then frankly admitted that ho had spent
the money aud sold the harness, bat de
nied the intention of selling the horse.
Henry's manly form now reclines in Ful
ton county jail (such as it is) a warning
example to numerous other draymen in
tho city.
NUGRO testimony.
It has often been a sourco of wonder
to us how glib tho negroes arc in giving
testimony. They tell a story in so many
different ways, that it is impossible to
know when they are giving the correct
version.
Tom Tumor is a young man who could
not refuse to help a frieud out, hut he
helped out one too many for his own
good, and on being arraigned before
Judge Johnson, was bound over to answer
tho chargo of perjury.
Alexander Fitzgibbons was arraigned
on a similar charge, but was acquitted.
The Coining Full*.
We are pleased to anuouuco that tho
Booi'il of Directors of tho Fair Associa
tion is now at work in earnest, and wo
have no doubts now of tho success of the
Fair. AH obstacles in the way of the
operations of tho Directors are removed,
and it will proceed more actively than
ever with its work of preparation.
One of the most important questions
connected with tho success of tho Fair,
that of tho trials of speed in horses, will
bo sottled by tho meeting of Directors
to-day. It is much to be hoped that the
Directors will uot deprivo the Fair of an
exhibition of blooded stock, ns n very
largo proportion of the attcndace on fairs
is indnoed by the trials of speed. Somo
of the Northern States havo discarded
hone racing at their agricultural fairs.—
This may be admissable there, where the
population is so numerous os to sustain
snch action. But here, where the popu
lation is sparse, it requires every possible
induocment, not discreditable, to obtain
visitors to tho fairs to mako them suc
cessful.
The Secretary of tho Association, Mr.
Echols, starts for tho West to-morrow to
work in the interest of the Fair among
manufacturers and stock raisers.
We publish the following notice from

LIFE AMONO THE LOWLY.
Love is a passion upon which it is use
less to placo restrant. It will have its
way, however we may hind it Divers
are the expedients to which it reaorta for
accomplishment—it always comes out
winner.
Wo have recently heard of a young man
in humble life who looked upon a maiden
fair, and love smote him blind. His pas
sion was reciprocated by the fair charm
er, and their day of courtship was a fore
tusto of bliss untold. Finally matters
came to a crisis, and marriage was the
ono thing needful. But Lothario had
no money, not even enough for tho li
cense. Hu knew not what to do, till at
last a bright thought struck him. He

That Hrm-natlri
Lust night about 1 o’clock, tho Catho
lic Band, paid their respects to the dif
ferent offices, aud played some of their
best music. At the Era office, they
played “The Frog went Courting;” for
tho Constitution they tooted something
like tho “New Departure;” to tho True
Georgian, wo think we recognized tlie
tune of “Off for Idahoe,” while The
Sun had the benefit of the “ Pretty little
girl I left behind me.” Tho music was
excellent, and no doubt appropriate.
