Promptness.
The steamer Wyllv arrived yester
day morning at 2 o’clock, with both
cylinder heads blown out and the pit
man strap broken. Many who knew
not “whereof they spoke,” said it
would be impossible for her to
leave, but she did and with an excel
lent freight at 5 r. m., yesterday. Capt.
C. A. Klink, the agent of the Central
Line, had been advised by wire of her
accident, and with his usual prompt
ness, had the heads moulded and wait
ing only for her arrival, when all was
soon righted. The services of such an
official must certainly be invaluable.
Pease A Norman.
i This old and popular firm are unustt-
; ally well supplied with goods adapted
‘ to the holiday trade. Among their spe-
j oialties we may mention lieautifulchro-
! tnos at from 50 cents to 815; writing
i desks at $1 to §15; brackets at from 25
i cents to §2; Papeteries, 20 cents to §2;
; to say nothing of the endless varieties
I of toys, toy hooks, toy dolls, houses
j and a thousand and one articles to tickle
the juvenile fancy—all pretty, cheap
! and serviceable. During the past few
| days, there lias been a heavy run on
! this house, and the prospect is that by
; the end ol' the holidays this splendid
! stock will be greatly depleted. Don’
fail in your rounds to call on Pease A
Norman, who study to please and will
be happy to serve the public at reason
able prices.

Despite the hard times, people will
spend motley more or less ftiely,
in glancing over our columns to see
where it may be parted with to the
best advantage, we direct special atten
tion to the Dry Goods House of J. S,
Jones, where may be found a beautiful
line of serviceable goods suitable for
holiday gifts, which will last much
longer and prove far more serviceable
than most of the trumpery whieh
tickles the fancy but for the passing
moment. He has received the past
week the tenth lot of Ladies' and
Misses’ Cloaks. These will prove
gift of whieh any lady will be proud
In Dress Goods he has a brilliant varie
ty, and as he makes a specialty in this
line, the ladies cannot do better than to
call on him for their Christmas outfits.
Though he does not make much blow
about Shoes, still he flatters himself
that he has a varied and elegant stock
and that as he has no extra clerk hire
or rent to pay on this article,he can offer
better inducements than those who pay
the extra taxes. But without attempt
ing to enumerate all the advantages to
be gained by trading at Jones’, we will
only add that he is one of our most
sagacious merchants, and always wide
awake to the interests of the people
of our section. If you will go to his
store and spend your money during
the holidays, or any other tiifie, you
can rely upon dealing with an honest
man, and getting the worth of your
funds. *x

The merchants should be very cau
tious to shut their cellar doors when

dangers the lives of passers-by, and

About this time of year k liberal turn

In this connection we take pleasure in

A. F. Clements, the clever proprietor

soldier boys and are never behind the
sterner sex in their liberality, as is
evinced by an exquisite lady's felt hat,
trimmed elegantly, with plume and
velvet plush, presented by Airs. Colvin
A Miss Donnelly, and valued at §15.
Won’t our other merchants hurry up

promised to send in their contributions

are: Captains Shepherd and Salisbury,

* A Forger.
On, Friday night Mr. A. Vdati was
swindled by a sharper, said to be from
Afacon. The man purchased some ci
gars, and gave Air. Y. a forged check
on the Fourth National Bank in Alacon
for §10, and he (Air. V.) gave him §7 50
in change. Yesterday morning he as
certained that the check was a forged
one and placed the case in the hands pf
Policeman Palmer, who collared his
man last night. Air. Y. declined to
prosecute if the man would refund the
money, which he did, and he was set
at liberty. The officer represents him
to lie a well-dressed, clean-shaved
young man, and of good countenance.
If he is found around the city he will
lie arrested, and will not get oft' so
easilv. *- * •« . - - .

We were with the stupendous style in
which James A. Lewis carries on his
dry goods business. He has a whole
sale and retail department and a host of
clerks to do the selling. He has any
thing that may be desired in his line,
aud will sell as cheaply as any merchant
in the city. You can’t do better any
where than with this gentleman. To
say a great deal about this house would
not add to its wide spread reputation.
It is useless for us to particularize any
of his goods as he has everything. Just
give him a call and yon will be sure to
buv.
The motion docket was taken up. No

One month to-day, Alice,
We bore you from onr slght.
But sweet to know, Alice,
You are resting in Heaven to-niglit.
Your mother has grieved for you. Alice,
But a sin to grieve for you,
For your sufferings were great, Alice,
But they are past and o'er.
But Oh! how sweet to know, Alice, '
To know that you can rest
Where all is Joy and love, Alice,
And where the good are blest.
KID GLOVES!

HARRIS' SEAMLESS,
I miss you, often, Alice,
When e’er I go to your home,
But Oh t the thought is sweet, Alice,
To know where you are gone.
Farewell, now, dear Alice,
Yon are gone to your home on high,
And I hope to meet you, Alice,
In the Sweet By-and-By.

Me want Christmas tree.
Yes, me do;
Want an orange on it,
Lots of candy, too.
Want some new dishes.
Want a red pail,
Want a rocking-horse
With a very long tail.
Want a little watch
That says, “tick, tick!’’
Want a newer dolly.
’Cause Victoria's sick.
Want so many things
Don’t know what to do;
Want a little sister,
Little brother, too.

Twenty-Two Yean’ Experience.
AI. Joseph, the “old reliable” in dry
;oods, though young in years, has in
store a mammoth stock of dry grods,
comprising everything in the trade,
with ladies’ department attached. Nev
er was a larger, handsomer or cheaper
stock brought to the city, and never
could a lady with small purse buy so
much for her money. In this stock are
thousands of articles suitable for holi
day presents, and presents such as will
do good service and be long apprecia
ted. There has been an immense rush
on this popular establishment during
the past week, and everybody and his
wife and family are going there this
week to make their Christmas pur
chases. 2t
Jn»t Received
At Lee’s fancy store a superb lot knit
saeques, ties, Boulevard skirts, fancy
jewelry, and ladies’ and misses’ hats in
great variety. These goods cannot be
excelled in beauty and quality and are
particularly appropriate for holiday
gifts. You could not bestow on vottr
wife, daughter, sweetheart or friend
any gift that wonldbe more appreciated
or do better service. Call and see this
pretty stock. 2t
That
Airs. Colvin and Afiss Donnelly are the
favorite milliners is evinced by the
rapid sales of their goods. They are
daily getting in new .stylish goods.
They have just received a new lot of
Chinchilla and all other zephyrs. A
beautiful line of hosiery and worsted
goods.
The very latest styles of ladies’ hats,
trimmed and untrimmed, will be sold
at and below New York cost.
There is no better place in the city to
select Christmas presents — stylish
goods, fashionable goods and good?
goods, and at prices that are warranted
to satisfy. Don’t let Christmas pass
withont giving these ladies a call.
RMea Equalised.
The report comes pretty directly that
the ruinous railway war at Montgomery
and Mobile has ceased by the arrange
ment effected at the meeting of the
rulers at Augusta. This assemblage of
railroad men agreed to make the rates
on cotton from Alontgomery and Mo
bile to the seaboard, north and east the
same. This is bad enough in itself, but
greatly fairer than the odious discrim
ination which for weeks has been in
vogue. According to this rate cotton is
hauled three hundred miles for noth*
ing. Before, the buyer was paid sixty-
five cents per hundred for that distance
to send the cotton this wav.

Air. Jos. Belk, the gentleman who
lost the bank check on Friday, left that
night for the man who had received the
money. After riding through the rain
until late at night, he with several com
panions stopped at a farm house and
lodged until day, when they again start
ed. The party was overtaken and the
money found in the possession of a ne
gro, who said he had drawn the check.
All of the §169 was recovered but thirty
dollars, which Air. B. thinks he will got,
as the negro has some property.
A Current Slander,
It was started at the dry goods house
of J. S. Jones. Some one of his clerks
made a remark about a lady customer,
who called there a few days ago. He
said that she had never worn a neat
kid glove because bU© had never pur
chased the Real Kid of his house. She
blushed, yea, she looked furious, but
when he showed her the gloves, she
said he was “correct,” If you would
learn the full particulars of this little
unpleasantness, refer to Jones’ adver
tisement in these columns. Wejwould
add, however, that this clerk east the
“mantle of charity” over this unfortu
nate woman by placing on her one of
the beautiful and stylish cloaks, just
received. She bought the gloves and
cloak and went home delighted.
Fight—A Xcgr* Thi
Last night about 12io’clock the cry of
“police, police !” sounded and resound
ed along Randolph street. A reporter
of this paper was conversing with a
couple of policemen at the tjme, and
followed them to ascertain the cause of
the ery. We were attracted to a shop
on Oglethorpe street, which had just
been the scene of bloodshed. There
had been a ball and one negro, a dray
man, had bitten another’s thumb off.
He was arrested and escorted to the
guard house, where he is quietly rest
ing. The Mayor will “interview” him
on Monday, and if this is his only pun
ishment he will get off very light.
Fight.
On yesterday evening two up-town
kaliffa began disputing about some mat
ter and grew angry, aye boisterous. A
few blows were passed, when one of
them commenced with a hickory stick,
which was said to have the desired ef
fect. A bruised head and nothing
more.
Why
J. Kvle <fc Co., succeed is liecause they
keep a full stock and advertise the
same. Don’t believe wCat we say, but
just read these columns and see for
yourselves. It would seem almost im
possible for them to wait upoallieir ea
ger customers at times. The house is
frequently jammed and were it not for
their large “force” they would be turn

Methodi8Wi lost an ardent lover and
devoted helper when good Sister Alary
Fisher left our world, on June 10th,
1877. Born in Washington county,
Georgia, married Rev. Charles Fisher
October 2d, 1810. embraced religion
early in life—a patient worker for Jesus
during three score years and ten, and
thns, after a pilgrimage of eighty-four
years, she rested from her labors; yes,
rested in Jesus. Children, grand-chil
dren, and great-grand-ehildren—all ob
served her quiet walk with God ; the
impression was deep, permanent, and
now most of them are members of the
Aletliodist Church, and are striving to
meet the mother and grand-mother in
Heaven. The Lord peculiarly blessed
Sister Fisher temporally and spiritu
ally; she walked in pleasant places
during a long, useful life. Prudence,
fortitude, patience, energy, economy, a
discriminating mind of business and
religion gave the husband and wife
much wealth and comfortable position.
Truly the Lord is good to His people.
The sky was cloudless when the aged
spirit triumphantly departed with
angel bands to become young in the
City of Our God. Was it death ? No !
she was just beginning to live; live on,
live forever! “O death, where is thy
sting ? O grave,^where is thy victory ?”
“Thanks be to God, which giveth us
the victory through our Lord Jesus
Christ.” Children, friends—all, press
for the prize. The good leave us for a
brief season, but their godly walk and
earnest zeal cannot depart, cannot die.
Remember these, spurn them not. Let
us try to grasp the hands of happy pa
rents in eternity. Death cannot part
us up there. It can be well with us in
the judgment. Look to Jesus ever.
K. J. Walker.
A Gentle Hint.
In our style of climate, with its sud
den changes of temperature—rain,
wind and sunshine often intermingled
in a single day—it is no wonder that
our children, friends and relatives are
so frequently taken from us by neg
lected colds, half the deaths resulting
directly from this cause. A bottle of
Bosohee’s German Syrup kept about
your home for immediate use will pre
vent serious sickness, a large doctor’s
bill, and perhaps death, by the use of
three or four doses. For curing Con
sumption, Hemorrhages, Pneumonia,
Severe Coughs, Croup, or au3 r disease
of the Throat or Lungs, its success is
simply wonderful, as your druggist
will tell you. German Syrup is now
sold in every town and village on this
continent. Sample bottles for trial,
10c., regular size, 75o.

London, December 22,—The Economist
says, money remains scarce. Short loans
are especially difficult, while the rate ot dis
count for throe months' kills Is this w*ek
lower than our late quota-
per cent., or % lower than our late quota
tions. On Wednesday, notwithstanding the
agitating reports which arose upon the an
nouncement of the early meeting of Rtrita-
rnent, rates were in no marked degree. If at
all, fainter. What we alluded tola
M last week
as'a new set of preoccupations.a* to the
terms of peace lias deepened Into alarm, the
immediate cause being the prolonged <\ild-
net council, followed by a call to Parliament
to assemble three weeks earlier than usual.
The announcement came out in the morn
ing papers Wednesday, and before actual
business Itegun prices were depressed aud
no distinct recovery can be recorded. The
main fall was on Russian, Hungarian and
English railway stocks, in which weak *.»«*•
ulaii ve
e purchases have lately been made,
but in nearly all markets the effect lias been
more or less apparent. Russian stocks have
fallen and not risen again. Turkish shxfts
are low, as they already stood, and have fall
en lower still. Egyptian, In sharp contrast,
?d, with
have been steadily maintained, with an ad
vance for the week of 1% to 2 per cent.
There was some, but no very 'distinct recov
ery on Friday, and what there was seem* to
have been in preparation for next week's
settlement. Ameriean Governments have
not escaped the general depression th a
week, although postponement of tho ques
tion of currency, in which the service of the
debt may be made has had a good effect.

New York, December 18.—In the
Vanderbilt will ease to-day, after tes
timony to prove that it was the prac
tice of the Commodore to consult
clairvoyants, Cornelius J. Vanderbilt
was called. He testified that lie lived
with his father until eigh|pen years
of age, and then went boarding
around. The Commodore gave him
a hundred dollars a month after his
marriage. This amount was increased
to two hundred a month. At the
death of his wife his monthly stipend
was reduced to §50. The witness
then branched out into family trou
bles, and accused William H. Van
derbilt of putting him in an asylum
for the insane in 1854. At that time
the old Commodore was very sick and
expected to die every moment. Wit
ness heard his mother say afterward
that the whole thing was planned by
William H., who wanted to
get the younger brother out of
the way. ~ Cornelius was arrested
on a charge of forgery before being
sent to the asylum, and he testified
that the arrest and the forgery were
both the work of William. After the
release William explained to witness
that the incarceration in the asylum
was done to prevent the disgrace of
Cornelius being sent to jail for the for-
gery. Being asked whether he had
ever visited gambling houses, witness
was prevented from answering, and
his counsel explained that he was
about to introduce evidence to prove
that William had procured the per
sonation of Cornelius, Jr., iu gam
bling houses, and then spread reports
that he was gambling, which were
intended to reach the Commodore’s
ears and prejudice him against Cor
nelius, Jr. While debating this the
court adjourned. William H. Van
derbilt, who sat by his counsel while
the testimony was given, whispered
loud enough to be heard all over the
He’s making it all up as he
goes along.”

’Tis said of the little nocturnal pest,
the bed-bug, that at “nest-hiding” he
excels Beecher; as a sucker he is sn-
perior to the cupping pump, while he
equals Lydia Thompson at “drawing.”
It is rather strange that they refuse the
blood of a lady who has the hysterics,
or who is prostrated with any chronic
female complaint. Now it strikes us
that all ladies, who are afflicted as above
indicated, should at once resort to the
use of that wenderfutofemale medicine
known as English Female Bitters, and
be cured of these female troubles, that
they may furnish good wholesome
blood-food to the poor starving bed
bugs.

Tt*e Attempt of Cornellua J. to Break
It—HI* Prison Experience.
Special Dispatch to the Times.J
New York, Dec. 19.
In th(.’ Vanderbilt will case to-day,
after a long argument, the Surrogate
decided to admit the testimony of
Cornelius J. Vanderbilt, who there
upon testified that he was not in the
habit of going to gambling houses or
places of ill repute. The burden of
his evidence was to prove the ill feel
ing of William H. toward him, and
that William influenced the Commo
dore to leave witness out in the cold
in the will. On cross-examination,
however, Cornelius testified that
he had been in the Asy
lum for the Insane three
or four times, and in jail as many
more. He was locked up in Wash
ington for trouble over a draft that his
father refused to honor, and had been
in Ludlow street jail several times on
civil processes. He was badly in
debt—owed Horace Greeley forty
thousand dollars when he failed and
owed sixty thousand in addition now.
The counsel for the will then disclosed
the line of defense in asking about
Cornelius’ relations with Simmons,
the lottery man and gambler, and
hinted that Simmons was putting up
for Cornelius to help him blackmail.
Cornelius testified that he owes Sim
mons money. The cross-examination
is not finished.
