CITY POLICE COURT.
“ Monday morning, hot and dreary,
Sat this writer, weak and weary.
Pondering over the misdemeanors,
Drunks and fines, and pocket cleaners.
And tho multifarious* doings
That came up from police brewings,
And beneath are all the showings
For the dreary morning labor.”
The mass meeting at Judge Hammond's was, like
Cie ear’s faneral, a decided success in point of num
bers, and the large Ethiopian delegation threw a ppe-
per-and-saJt halo over the whole affair that wasn’t re
moved till dinner time. The Secretary of the meeting
tbusly jotted down the proceedings:
Edward Bradford having, in the optic of his philan
thropic thinking apparatus the suffering condition of
the citizens of Atlanta from the dost and parched
earth, sought to set the bolts of -Jupiter in motion by
letting off a small park of pocket artillery in the direc
tion of the dry air. His efforts bronght on the de
sired shower, and they also bronght out a little over
eight dollars from the recesses of his trowser’s pocket.
Martha Wadkins, Jane Wesley and Louisa Foster, a
boquet of sweet scented African tulips, became
slightly disarranged, and wastod their fragrance in a
disgraceful row about a small nigger fight. They were
put iu tho work house flower pot, and there they
bloom to-day.
Frank Bradiy, a Newton county drinkist, came to
the city to learn if it were really true that a Lethean
stream had been discovered here, and if so, who ha d
charge of the water works. He got tho information,
but it cost him five dollars and an admonition to "Go
West,” like the star of empire, for
"Westward the star of empire took its way.
Time’s first four acts already past;
The fifth shall close tho drsma with the day
Earth’s noblest empire is its last.”

The Atlanta and Richmond Air- Line
Railroad.
This great work, which has been a subject of con
stant solicitude and anxiety to the people of Atlanta
for sixteen years, is now on the point of completion.
We learn that there now remains only a fewdaya’ work
to be done on two of tho bridges, and less than two
miles of track to be laid, to allow the iron horBe to
pass from Charlotte to this city, and which will take
place within two weeks.
No enterprise ever undertaken has ever promised
) more real benefits, if so many, to Georgia, and espe
cially to Atlanta, as this. Wo hope and trust, there-
1 fore, that the proper steps will soon be taken, on tho
part of the cit zens aud the authorities of At-

Editors Atlanta Daily Df.ar.ald:
Quite a serious mistake occurred in your announce
ment of our redaction of the price of Soap. Where
' quality” ia used, you should have used "quantity.”
No one, laundress or merchant, has ever disputed,
or ever will dispute, that they are the beat ever sold
here. The only thing open to discussion ia quantity.
Hitchcock k Co.
All articles, we think, that are lacked and sold full
weight should have the patronage of consumers; alao
cf dealers. We are g’ad to notice in the article of
soap, that Proctor A Gamble’s Extra Olive Soap is
always packed actual weight.

About Cigars.—Johnnie Wing, of the firm of Bor-
ongba k Wing, does not approve of the habit little
boys have of emoking, though he ia an extensive
dealer in cigars. From constant contact with these
smokers, he has discovered that tobacco smoking "in
terferes with the molecular changes coincident with
development of tissues, mud makes the blood corpus
cles oval, and irregular at the edges.’’ Any person
can thus ascertain if’hi* boy smokes by merely taking
out a handful of his blood corpufdes and observing
their edges.

Water Work*.
On yesterday a Herald reporter called on tho Mayor
and several Water Commissioners, for the purpose of
obtaining some news concerning the erection of water
works, as there bad been no official action by either
the Board or Council, he could not get any authentic
information, but he became cognizant of the fact that
the lines were now being surveyed by Mr. Grant, who
would be able to submit hia report in a few days, and
that the Holly system was decidedly the most popular
with them, sad that that plan would most probably be
adopted. They all declared with one votee that they
were in favor of water works, and expressed them
selves ©i being desirous of their speedy erection.
From the conversations he has had, onr reporter feels
safe in promising you a favorable report in a few days,
sod asserting that the work will be commenced in less
than two months,
Cold Water Templar*.
AHXIVRRSaRT OF WEJfONA TEMPLE— ARIiAN.iF.VFSTs FOR
A GRAND CELEBRATION.
L rom the indefatigable Thrower, the head and front
oi the temperance movement in this section, and our

of Arrangements, we learn the following facta in rof-
erencs to the grand annhe-sary of the Cold Water
Templars, which takes place in this city on the 27th
instant:
There will be a contest for thre«* prizes to to giv_*n

delivered at the anniversary of Wencna T. mple; rep
resentatives to be choeen, one from each Temple lhat
may enter the list. The speakers not to be less than
eight nor over eighteen years of age. and to speak on

PRIZES.
First Prise—A flue banner, costing $50.
Second Prize—A set of fourteen pieces of officers’
regalia, costing $25.
Third Prize—A fine superintendent's icgalia, costing
$15.
All the speeches must be original, but may be pre
pared by the speakers or their friends. Although the
reports are not required to be in until the 10th of Au-
gsst, the following Temples have already reported:
Augusta, Washington No. 8, Master Benjamin M.
Piequet, aged 12 ysars, subject. The Core for Intem-
glanced away harmless, bat in his eagerness to
save himself, Lis hand slipped from the hammer and
lodged over her hfteje. For this Samuel pays coat
and retires.
Owen Smith Mas owen Martha WadKius an apology
for fra.ling her child, and, refusing to pay, she
brought him up, but tho testimony only mulcted
Martha in costs, for revengeful prosecution, and Owen
goes eft' owen the Court nothing.
Patrick Alman is an honest-lookiug colored black
smith, who is pretty well to do in this worlu’g goods.
His wife had gouc to visit her mother, in the country,
and l’at was left at home. Besides being Alman, he
was all eyes and ears at night, watching his effects.
He had to do the watching for her and him, too. While
he was eating supper some one threw a rock against
hia house, an.I, without further to do, he raised up
and went for the offender, heeing a negro whom he
supposed did the throwing, he lit over the fence and
gave him a " butt ” in the region of the diaphragan
which unsettled that nigger’s supper. For this Pat
was arrested and fined the costs.
Mr. Gauchey wis prized out of the gutter by the
Board of Health to make room for a load of lime. He
had started to the Centennial Convention at Philadel
phia, but concluded to lay down his platform here,
and was in the act of composing his reception speechs
when the workmen disturbed his meditations. The
Conrt labelkd him "drunk,” and ordered him to the
Barrycnial Dispensary to be rubbed down with a
brick till there was a noticeable change for the soberer
He begged them to—
"Away with me now o’er the hill and the valley,
Afar from the city to night will I roam,
To the spot round which memories ever will rally,
To the spot that I call vet my "Homo, my sweet
Homo.’’
He was invited to make himself at home at the City
Restaurant for a week, at least.
William Webster, a descendant of Daniel, (so Wil
liams’ father, Robert, says), was also afflicted with the
same disease. The guard found Bill kneeling to a bar
ber pole under the impression that it was an image of
the virgin, and he was dragged before Padre Ham
mond’s confessions where ho made a clean breast and
a clean pocket of it, amounting to five dollars and
costs, aud went home to explain the loss of his money
to his father—
"And so our best endeavor lags.
The "tee’d” alone are heedtul—
Oar dear, dear ‘dads’ are only nags,
Quite alow without the needful!
In vain we tempt them with a ‘churn,’
Or eheerfally to work go—
Such arguments ain't worth ad—
‘Money makes the mare go.’ ’’
Frances Reed (scar-faced Fanny) and another pearl
cf great price, from the coast of the Willingham Build
ing, were np for being prorano and disorderly on Sat
urday night. FanDy had her witnesses, and the city
had " horn," and they didn't near agree in their state
ments. Fanny’s friends stood rquare up to her
ing innocent of the charge, while Jousen’s friends
were equally as stubborn. The case wii permitted to
stand over until this morning, when more witnesso
will appear. Fanny and her retinne retired, and her
parting injunction to them was:
" Never prove false to a friend,
In love and in friendship be true;
Never prove false to a friend.
So long as he’s faithful to you.
He may be dishonest—a knave
In other’s opinions, but then
To you he is generous and kind
And one of the noblest of men.”
Several boys were up in the third story of
building on Marietta street, and, in fooling around,
knocked off a granite window sill weighing about
hundred pounds, which struck the head of a negro
who was passing, and ho had them arrested. He said
ho was willing to let the boys have fan, but when
they jammed a jemmen’s hat over his eyes and spoiled
it in that way, the law must take its course.
The Court adjourned to consult over the matter at
chambers.

At 11 o’clock a. m., the missionary sermon was
preached by Rev. Mr. Ryals, of Acworth, to an im
mense congregation. His discourse was replete with
logic and eloquence, and
Attention.
Previous to tho sermon, the Moderator, in an elo
quent and feeling manner, paid a glowing tribute to
the late Rev. W. E. Mansfield, who died since the last
meeting of the association. At that time the since de
ceased divine was selected to preach the missionary
sermon, but “ death, that loves a shining mark,” re
moved him from the stage of action—from this world
of strife—and hence the duty of preaching the sermon
devolved on Rev. Mr. Ryals, his alternate. Tne words
of eulogy which fell from the speaker’s lips met a
hearty response from the auditory, many of whom
were moved to tears.
Rev. H. A. Williams of Augusta, welPkncwn to the
Baptists of North Georgia, preached at three o’clock
in the afternoon, and during his whole discourse en
chained the solemn attention of his hearers. At night
the Rev, Dr. Dean preached a sermon, which for ear
nestness of manner, grace of diction and forcible and
powerful application to the congregation, is seldom
surpassed. The session of the Association closed
yesterday, bnt in consequence of the great and dtep
interest manifested by the unconverted, the meeting
will be protracted through the week for their benefit.

A Cow in an Ale House.
SHF. BECOMES HOODWINKED BY AN EMPTY BARREL AND
FALLS THROUGH A FRONT WINDOW.
About 12 o’clock Sunday nigbt, as officers Parker and
Mays were seated on the corner contemplating the
beauties of the silver moon aud listening to the merry
chorus of Katydids, they were startled nearly out of
their wits by a loud crash and thundering r.oiso^|
Hunter street, between Broad and Whitehall. Gazing
at each other steadily in the eve for a minute, they
made for the place with cocked pistols and batons
flourishing. When they arrived in the neighborhood
of Prowznitzer’s ale bottliDg establishment on Hunter
street, their emotions were not at all quieted by Lear*
ing the most terrible noises and floundering! around
in tne building and a rattle of broken ale bottles,
which were tumbling on the floor and bursting, and
for all the world, reminding them of a miniature skir
mish of battle.
Tho excitement produced was intense. The idea
flashed across the minds of the police that a horde of
burglars and assassins had made a raid upon the
offensive Prowznitzer, and were firing and murdering
his entire household and demolishing things gener
ally.
These faithful guardians of the night didn’t permit
grass to grow aud thrive under their official feet, but
after a hasty council of war, it was decided to extend
their lincB and surround the rascals. But a moments
reflection convinced these two that in "union there is
strength,” if nothing else—decided to attack in
body, and if either fell, the other would perhaps be
spared to "carry the news to Susan.” Acting upon
this latter resolution, with a yc!l and a whoop, they
charged up to the door aud looked in. By the flicker
ing light of a stray moonbeam, thoy discovered an old
cow with an empty barrel over her Load,making a vain
attempt to get rid of her encumbrance, and in doing
this she was backing and flourishing the barrel in all
directious, and knocking things around promiscuously.
It sceim that the barrel, containing some garbage
had been left cn the sidewalk, and the cow, in trying
to get to it had got licr horn* fastened so as to carry the
barrel with her, and in backing she fell through a glass
window into the establishment, which caused the ter
rible crash the officers beard at first.
By an extraordinary coup d’etat they succeeded in
getting her to "back out'‘of the scrape, and it
course of an boor bad things quiet.
This, onr City Fathers will so«. Is another warning
about loose cattle. Two vigilant policemen unncces-
eariiy, if not seriously freigbtened, an enterprising
ale bottler damaged, for which bo should sue the Coun
cil, aud some poor woman’s cow hurt and frightened,
and the entire neightx>rhood aroused. When will Al
derman Morris' idea of being decent" strike In
the other members of Council ?
An Old Coin.—Mr. L. H. Alexander has in his po«-
sion a silver coin which was presented to him by Miss
Amelia \ on Hoefiloley. it dates as far ba?k as 1364,
and is about tho size of s Mexican dollar, and worth!
we suppose, about fifty cents. The lettering and hiero
glyphics are so marly worn out that nothlnf.oan be
made of it put tho date. It mas presented to Mr.
Alexander, be says, as a memento of bis capabilities
for riding fast horses: but how that comes in, ws can-
not understand.
A Drunken Policeman.—We have on oar table a
communication signed "Joatice,” in which he as
serta that he was the involuntary witness of • seana
which tt once disgusted and saddened him. It was a
drunken policeman in front of the National Hotel.
Ha says the officer was ao drunk that he had to be
taken up stairs by a friend, and pnt to bed.

CONTEST OVER A BLACK PIO.
Justice Munday was the only Magistrate who, in the
face of the oppressive heat yesterday, had the courage
to investigate a case of a criminal nature. It was his
good fortune to eDjoy the pleasure of deciding upon
the merits of that contest over the disputed right of
possession to a pig, which was first heard and decided
by Justice Butt, not long since. The plaintiff in pro
curing warrants gave SDd used different names, but it
was developed during tbe last trial that the parties and
action wero the tame, and the matter properly resadju-
dicala. The following extract from the affidavit of the
colored woman who sued out tho warrant, will serve
to show the true character of the subject matter of
tbe litigation:
"Personally appeared before me Savannah Iteese,
who being duly sworn deposes and says, that a small
black pig, with white spots and tail cat off, worth two
dollars, has been taken, enticed or carried away, either
by fraud, violence or seduction, from the possession
of the deponent, and that said pig has disappeared
without her consent, and she believes has been taken
possession of by Catherine Lambert, under some pre
tended claim; and deponent further swears that she
bona^flde claims the right to the possession of said
Pig-”
A warrant was issued for the arrest of the defend
ant, who is a white woman, and the evidence pro and
con heard, when Judge Munday decided that the de
fendant was clearly entitled to the pig and accordingly
awarded it to her. Whatever else may be said of the
negro woman she certainly had the ingenuity to ob
tain the decision of two courts of concurrent jurisdic
tion on her complaint. There are two records of this
important judgment and ntill the Justices are not en
tirely happy.
Wiitcrmrlonn unit Hie City Government.
The City Council has ever walked with tender feet
over the melon and fruit questions, both in passing
prohibitory laws and afterwards in repealing tho same
enactments.^They haven’t felt exactly right about it
wasn’t real certain if they did right in either cas
Petitions and counter-petitions had rather got their
ideas mixed as to the sanitary propriety of eating
melons, while their inordinate fondness for watermel
ons plead loudly on the other side. So, to show to
the people that they wero not afraid to eat melons,
and that there was- no possible danger in a perfect
gorge, at an informal meeting a committee wai
pointed to test the matter. It was necessary that the
men of nerve and good digestive apparatus composing
the city government should be detailed to make tho
exporiment, and cx-Aldcrman Fowler having
sented to furnish the melsoos (he raises them,) the
squad, consisting of Aldermen Brothertoo, Young.
Marshal Thomas, Deputy Marshal Jcmen, Frank
Ryan, Clerk of Council, Lieutenant Bomar, and officer
Bntler, together with Colonel Latham (he being cop-
per bottom also,) went out on Sunday evening to
Fowler’s to give the melon question a test. That gen.
tleman had heard of the proposed visit, and was pre
pared with a huge pile of melons, which had been
cooling all day in the well.
Without any ceremony or comment this "forlorn
hope,” wlth.attenuated stomachs and sad faces, pro
ceeded to investigate. With eo.’emn stillness and
sound, savlDg the munching and crushing of the
pulpy fruit, this devoted party investigated for some
time.
When they could hold no more they each cast a
tive glance at one another and began to examine the
effects. Marshal Thomas^ hail swollen to the size of
a first class Alderman; the water was running out of
Young’seyc; Frank Ryan was swelled as stiff as a
dead porker; Jonsen, went rather slow, and it didn’t
tell on him; while Bomar and Butler looked like
grass-fed <-olts. Alderman Brotherton couldn’t swell
any longer in the waist; but he puffed up on the
shoulders. Col. Latham was used to them, (he lives
in an adjacent lot to the patch, and has been sampling
them off and cn all ths season.)
The Investigators then waited for the "man with the
Black Valise,” bat as he didn’t come, they returned
to town and will make a report of their investigation
at the next meeting of tho Board of Health.
tt' The great rush for grapes at the Norcross Depot,
next to Phillips Crew’s, is a guarantee that they are
fine, rich and In scions. *
Runaway.—On last 8nmlay two horses, attached to
» buggy driven by Messrs Fletcher and Alexander, be
came startled£at something in tho neighborhood of
Trinity Church, on Whitehall street, and commenced
running. The occnpanta of the buggy, thinking more
of their pen ona 1 safety than what damage might be
done a hired turnout, leaped from the vohicle and
allowed the frightened horses to pursue their own
course. The team came dashing down Whitehall at a
fearful rate until they came In collision with a street
car, in Iront of J. W. Burke’s. The collision everlaat-
ly salavated the two Dont wheels and freed the horsea
from the remnants of tbe buggy. Tne horses are now
boarding at Dr. Fawn’s Veterinary stable, and tbe
boggy is in the hands of some carriage doctor for
repairs.
A Boy Company.
CLKBURNK GUARDS ORGANIZED LASTNMIir.

Corrigan was elected Oeptaln; J. 0. Gatins, First
Lieutenant; Thomas Fitzpetric, Second; P. Fitzglb-

Changed Hand#.—Mr. J. E. Owens, tbo popular
proprietor of the NaUonal Hotel, hae purchased the
furniture, etc., of the barber shop, next door to the
hotel, and it will henceforth be under his control,
which lea sufficient guaranty to the public that it
will give the ampleat satisfaction.
The Way or It.—Yesterday a merchant started a cart
load of diseased and condemned watermelons to the
potters field, and the liUle*darkey,as he went along the
streets, was giving them out to his colored friends,
who were devouring them greedily. In this way are
produced diseases—by some called eholers, and by
others cholera morbus, dlarrbma, etc., etc.

Alligator Story.
A LIVE ’GAITOR IN THE ATLANTA HEWERS.
The denizens of the neighborhood of tho corner of
Mitchell and Loyd streets have for some time past
keen annoyed by tbe ravages of a real
LIVE ALLIGATOR
that inhabits the sewers in that region. The sewers
lire large, and contain water. Tho locality of the
sewers was once the bed of a creek which flowed
quietly through the valley located there in the early
days of Atlanta, or before there was an Atlanta, and
w’hen babbling brooks were common in tho woodland
which has been since traueiormed into a beautiful
city.
THE ALLIGATOR
is supposed to be one of those that Mr. Crittenden had
iu the pool at the Kimball House some two years ago—
one of which deserted the placid waters of the pool
to search out a natural stream, in which he preferred
to live and grow to be a huge moneter, and terrify the
inhabitants of a peaceable city. It is 4aid that
many chickens
have been captured by this hungry alligator; and the
citizens of the vicinity are fearful that to satiate his
voracious appetite he will become more venturesome,
