It took place yesterday at the ooaxt
house, commencing at 10 a. m. and
closing at 4 p. ni. The return,
counted out before^ o’clock.
The vote was perhaps the dftalleat
poll in thirty years. It was expected
tliat some generally deemed anti-Pub-
lic School aldermen would again
candidates, but this impression was
soon dissipated and the ballotting was
very tame. There were 548 persons
registered and 399 voted. The cause of
the short registration was a peculiar
law the present Council passed by one
majority, requiring a tax of two dollars

Our Mew Officers.
Col. F. G. Wilkins, the Mayor elect
is registered as a cotton buyer and aged
sixty years. He was Colonel of the
First Georgia during the late revolu
tion.
Mr. M. M. Moore, Clerk of Council
has filled that office for years, and is one
of the most efficient and popular the
city has ever had.
T. T. Moore, re-elected Marshal,
put down as aged 38 years.
Sexton A. A. Odom is re-elected, age
50 years.
Of Aldermen we have H. C. Bussey
and C. B. Grimes in the First Ward-
the first a “drayman” aged about 24
years, the second a book-keeper, 35
years. It is Mr. Bussey's first exper
ience in the Aldermanic line. Neither
served in last Council.
In the Second Ward we havo re-elect
ed J. P. Manley, a merchant, aged 48
years, and John Fitzgibbons, a mer
chant aged 45 years. Mr. F. was not a
member of last Council,
In the Third Ward we lieve Messrs.
A. G. Bedell and Ordinary F. M.
Brooks, aged respectively 50 and 61
years, the first a 1 nth-chant, the second
the Ordinary of the county.
In the Fourth Ward Mr. J. C. An
drews is te-clected, a merchant aged 34
years, and Col. W. L. Salisbury, bank
er and proprietor of the Enquirer
Sun, aged 47, is his fellow member.
In the Fifth Ward, L. G. Schuessler
and N. N. Curtis, merchants, and aged
41 and 53 are re-elected.
In the Sixth Ward we have two new
Aldermen, W. R. Moore and H. F.
Everett, merchants, aged 30 and 34
years.
The board is an able one.
gratifying to the friends
Schools that there is not a member an
tagonistic to them, as has been the case
in the present Council. If the system
is to be changed or altered it had better
be done, all must admit, by its friends
and not its enemies.
This expression of confidence in this
institution, and the unmistakable man
ifestation that property owners are un
willing to have it crippled or tampered
with except by recognized and un
doubted adherents, is a consummation
welcomed by every good citizen. It
speaks well for the intelligence of our
people, and their zeal for keeping pace
with the civilization of the age. This
is the only- salient feature of the elec
tion.
The Mayor, Aldermen and other offi
cers, hold their positions for two years.
The Aldermen draw lots to see which
six go out next December, when an
other six will be elected.

That of yesterday was one of the most
quiet ever held in Columbus. In fact
there was no contest except for Aider-
men in the Sixth Ward, and for Mar
shal and Sexton.
The registration, owing to an act of
the present Council, requiring the pay
ment of a tax of two dollars at the time
of registering, twenty days before the
election, was very small and not all of
them voted.
The total registration was only 548—
453 whites and 95 blacks. The vote as
will be seen from the total was still
less—the total being 399. As soon as it
was ascertained certain Aldermen who
have made themselves conspicious
opposition to public schools were not
candidates for re-election, interest in
the contest ceased, and all was quiet as
a cat when mousing.

Our Mew Mayor.
Col. F. G. Wilkins, after an interval
of several years, has been elected May
or of Columbus for the eleventh time.
He, in all, has filled the oflice ten terms
of a year each. His present term is for
two years—an ample period to secure
all the praises or blame of the com
munity. It is needless to add Colonel
Wilkins is a Democrat of the strictest
sect. His past has illustrated his abili
ty. He had no opposition. He will
make an excellent officer. His age is
registered at sixty years.
The Colonel tells us, if we remember
aright, that he has no recollection in
thirty-four years of such a quiet elec
tion. He mentioned that in 1856, when
the fight between Democrats and Whigs
was very hot, the Democrats declined
to nominate a candidate for Mayor, and
the Whig went in easily. There have
been other votes for Mayor as quiet,
but they were rare, but there have been
none where there was so little opposi
tion to the general ticket.
Our Mayor and City Fathers have a
task before them which is unenviable,
for there are many difficult problems to
be solved.
Nothing more clearly demonstrates
that the old passions and prejudices of
a year or two ago have disappeared,
and all is serene as could be desired.

This is a new romantic play, written
expressly for Miss Rogers, by B. E,

parts. The comic portion, most especi
ally, is “immense.” Miss Rogers and
her company need no commendation
from us, as they have been seen by the
Columbus people, all of whom were
highly pleased.

Over.
Thank heaven the elections are all
over! We are to have no more until
next December—a good long rest. One
can remain in quiet and be undisturbed.
Friends have no claim to advance, the
bother of electioneering is over, the
hopes and fears of a contest is over, the
men you like have ceased to pull and
haul, and look disconsolate, and
one can breathe. Why, the
sensation is delicious. One feels
that he has quaffed elvxir and again
he has a chance to live. The feeling is
delightful—no elections until next No
vember, and then only for a Congress
man. It is too gladsome to be true.
We have had enough of the work. We
have voted for everything and every
body in the world in the past week,
and we are to be left in peace. No more
suffrage slinging for a good long year.
One feels all the elasticity of glorious
freedom.

A few days ago we were reading a
novel. No matter what was its name.
We do not recall it at present. Never
mind, it had these sensible observations.
Let’s quote:
Sybill say r s: “How is it that^some
people have this power of darkening
whatever comes within, their reach or
ken ? There was no poetic melancholy
about Mr. Smith, not a trace of it, and
yet many people would have felt as
Sybill felt—that he was depressing.”
Again, in reply to Sybill’s “Ah! but
we must die,” Mrs. Marsh replies: “I
think living a noble thing—a fine thing
-and I take particular pleasure in it.
like the waking and being alive, the
eating and drinking—there, you are
shocked—young ladies neither eat nor
drink—and being alive the walking
and being alive; and I like the dream
ing and sleeping, too. In short, life is
glorious invention; I never read
books. No, thank you. What are
books? Words. Well, I can have
words without books. Besides, what is
there to read? Poetry, novels, ethics,
history, etc. My dear, I can have
poetry when I open my window; anovel
when I watch a flirtation, philosophy
when I sit in my chair and muse, and
history when I take up my newspaper.
The newspaper, mydear, is simply the
modern epic. There is everything in
it—murder, love, revenge, treason, too,
apd high and low life. Oh! I like it
amazingly.”

A very beautiful sight was witnessed
in the western heavens last evening,
during tile hours just succeeding dark
ness. It was the conjunction of the
moonaud Venus—one woman trying
to put out another’s light. The night
was clear and bracing, the atmosphere
sparkling. The moon having the in
side track obscured Venus for an in
stant, but that coy maiden soon
emerged with greater brilliancy and
coolly sat on one of the
horns of the quarter Luna and
joined candles. Shortly after they
separated aud each retired behind the
Alabama hills. The scene was very
beautiful. The occurrence Is not so
very rare, but it is seldom such a favor
able opportunity transpires for its ob
servance. The books say A'enus is
some sixty-six million miles from the
sun, and the earth about ninety-three
millions. The moon in round numbers
is 240,000 miles from the earth. So the
two stars or planets, Moon and Venus,
at the time of seeming contact, were
twenty-seven million miles apart—not
close enough to smash each other.

J. R. Cawley has rented the hotel in
Seale, lately kept by B. M. Henry, for
next year.
Mr. John Livingston’s-house one
mile east of Seale on the M. A G. R. R.,
was burned down on last Monday
night. He was asleep at the time the
house caught on fire, but some negroes
near by got there in time to get him
out before the house fell in.
At present our section seems to be
lacking school teachers. The harvest
is ripe but the laborers are few appar
ently. There is no school here, none at
Glennville, none at Villula and none in
other sections that might, it seems to
us, support a school. Persons capable
of teaching and using some manage
ment and attention might get up good
schools at the places named.

A Fatal FodMllM.
Jumping from points of elevation,
says Albert Rhodes, in the February
Galaxy, is a fashion of suicide. To
stand on an elevated site exercises a
singular fascination over some people,
leading them to j ump into the air. It
causes others to sweat and tremble
with fear. Last summer I talked
with the guardian of the steeple of the
Cathedral at Strasburg on this subject
and he informed me that few visitors
were free from the feeling of fright on
reaching the first terrace, which is of
gveat altitude, and that it was so pro
nounced as to generally prevent
them from going higher. Sometimes
the women fainted. I confess that I
was not free from a vague dread in
looking out over the immense reach
of landscape which this view takes in,
although there was absolutely no
danger, the terrace being securely-
guarded by strong iron rails.
This man of the upper air—the
guardian or guide—informed me that
the summer before an Englishman
had fainted, but determined to over
come his fright, and continued to as
cend every day for a week, until he
could look out in the direction of the
Black Forest, from the lantern, with
equanimity-. During the summer, a
man had jumped into the air through
altitude fascination. He was probab
ly dead before reaching the ground,
on account of the immense height from
which he hurled himself.
Formerly the Vendome Column
was the scene of so many deaths of
this kind that a decree was issued to
prevent visitors from ascending it
unless accompanied by a guardian.
It was the Tarpeian Rock of Paris.
Such a number have killed them
selves from fascination of altitude, or
the fright produced thereby, that ele
vated places must be recognized as
dangerous for certain people. Those
whose self-killing is permeditated, of
course, are not comprised therein.

Billy Badelitr.
He was out on Broad street again yes
terday with his good old songs entertain
ing alarge and admiring crowd. No one
could pass along and not stop to listen
to him, let his standing be what it may.
He sang “The girl with striped stock
ings on” and everybody pronounced it
“immense.” He says that any one in
passing along Broad street may see
striped stockings hanging in the show
windows at 15 to 25 cents per pair, but
those he saw were higher. All the boys
and children like Billy. We noticed a
large number of little fellows around
him after the “exercises” had closed
but what he was doing with them we
didn’t learn except that he was amus
ing them very much. Billy is a good
boy and he oughtn’t to be charged very
much for license to sell his little tricks.
Why he sells a top, which he says will

Willingham A Co.
Enterprise, backed by judgment, ex
perience and energy, never fails, and
this accounts for the firm’s success.
They have been established here about
one year, in the sash, door and blind
business, and have extended their trade
“far and wide.” Their river custom is
very flattering. We know, for we see
every manifest of their shipments by
the boats. They furnish everything
necessary to the building of a house of
the best quality aud most desirable
style. They have received eight car
loads of sash, doors and blinds in the
past twelve months, and this shows
what they are doing. Their white-pine
mouldings are preferred to any other
kind of material. They give satisfac
tion everywhere and have become pro-
erbial for excellence.
Willingham A Co. are agents for the
Chewackla lime, which they sell very
rapidly. They also have the agency
for the “Famous Kalsomine,” which is
used to paint the walls and ceilings of
house any conceivable color of the
most delicate tint. This preparation is
simply magical for beautifying and
purifying. It is cheap, and preferable
to anything yet invented. This firm is
bound to succeed.
Pretty Feet.
Columbus has been noted for many
ears for the beauty of her women, and
we must award the praise of pretty feet.
This is most clearly established on
windy and muddy days. Pedal ex
tremities have a wonderful fascination
abont them. The old song runs :
“If your foot Is pretty show it,
No matter where or when:
Let all young ladies know it,
’Tis the foot that takes the men.’'

How to Cure Baron.
Now’ that liog-killing time is at
hand, we reproduce the following
from the pen of J. T. Murdock,wliieh
we find in the Southern Live Stock
Journal:
We have had our meat houses so
far from our homes that we could not
attend to the curing of our meat,
until a great many have almost for
gotten how to save good bacon, lienee
I will give my plan to your many
friends of making good home-cured
bacon. Be sure to get the hogs good
and fat, and kill in a good spell of
weather, and w r hen the hogs are in a
good thriving condition. After the
hogs are all cut up, each piece (sides
excepted) should be exposed to tBe
cold night air; and the house top is.
an excellent place. In the morning
early the meat should be taken down
and’every piece nicely trimmed with
a sharp knife, saving all “bits” for
lard, so there will be no waste. Pre-
E are the salt and saltpetre. Put one
ushc-1 of salt to every eight hundred
pounds of meat. Salt down in large
boxes dr hogsheads, and put on each
ham and shoulder one tablespoonful
of saltpetre as you pack the meat
down. Put the meat down care
fully and well packed, using all
the jowls to keep level and close.
Let the meat stay in salt two weeks,
then take up, re-salt and re-paclc,
using no more saltpetre. At the end
of two more weeks take, up the meat
and wash the salt off the'joints; then
scald in boiling lye and put up for a
few hours to dry; then take corn meal
and mix with ground pepper, say
quarter pound pepper to half a bushel
meal. Before putting on the meal,
take a swob and put molasses all over
the raw or flesh side of the meat, and
then put on plenty of meal, thus
mixed, and lay up with the skin
down, for four or five days keep a
good smoke, and you will have bacon
* ‘that is bacon. ’ ’ The saltpetre makes
the meat dry faster, firmer and more
attractive when cooked and placed
upon the table. The lye destroys all
unpleasant odors. The molasses helps
to save the meat, and keeps the meal
upon the meat, while the pepper is a
poison to the fly and its eggs, besides
giving a nice flavor to the meat.
Murdock says he thus saved more
than 800 pieces of meat in one winter
without the loss of a piece, and some
of his hogs weighed as follows: 571,
485, 440, 436, 416, 411, 410, Ac.
Sehenelt’s Mandrake Pills
Will be found to possess those qualities
necessary to the total eradication of all
bilious attacks, prompt to start the se
cretions of the liver, and give a healthy
tone to the entire system. Indeed, it
is no ordinary discovery in medical
science to have invented a remedy for
these stubborn complaints, which de
velop all the results produced by a
heretofore free use of calomel, a min
eral justly dreaded by mankind, and
acknowledged to be destructive in the
extreme to the human system. That
the properties of certrin vegetables
comprise ail the virtues of calomel
without its injurious tendencies, is now
an admitted fact, rendered indisputa
ble by scientific researches; and those
who use the Mandrake Pills will be
fully satisfied that the best medicines
are those provided by nature in the
common herbs and roots of the fields.
These Pills open the bowels and cor
rect all bilious derangements without
salivation or any of the injurious
effects of calomel or other poisons. The
secretion of bile is promoted by these
Pills, as will be seen by the altered
color of the stools, and disappearing of
the sallow complexion and cleansing of
the tongue.
Ample directions for use accompany
eacii box of pills. Prepared only by
