Thus ►poke, on Monday evening, James Williams to
bis wifa Charlotte. The causo of Jim’s behavior was
elicited tha following morning when Qneen Charlotte
appeared to testify against another woman who had
supplanted her in the love and affections of James.
She and Jim haJ been together for nine years, and had
lived happily, when tbe second queen of his heart
appeared upon the scene and over-shadowed Charlotte-
and they hitched. It turned out that Jim and Char,
lotte had never been legally and conatitntionally mar
ried; hence, when her cheeks began to get thin and
her teeth to drop oat, he cast about for a better look
ing girl, and privately obtained license, and was mar
ried according to tbe Georgia code, nude and pro*
vided for such cases. When Charlotte heard of this,
she had the destroyer of her happiness brought into
Court, where she appeared in all her bridal robes.
She bad spent her wedding night in the lock up, and
Jeems had fled the ranchero. This was a ro
mantic beginning of a wedded life, and tho Court
dilated eomewhat upon the mutability of married ex
istence—its cares and tronblcs and excitement, &c.—
and wound up by asking for the faithless Williams.
As he could not be found, he lectured the two for quar
relling over a trifling nigger, who was flying around
over town after women like a cat shot with a hard wad,
and fined Charlotte and the Bew wife each ten and
costs. This brought tears from Charlotte and huge
smiles from her rival, for—
“ The bride will love the bending swain.
Who holds at his command
A htndsome house, a goodly train
Of equipage and lauds.
But should his fortune cease to smile,
Even love away will slouch.
Why can’t the creature show a pile
Of dollars in his pouch ?”
Bui tha Brown was a good-looking nut-brown octo
roon, who tai become dissatisfied with her matirnal
restraints, and longed to go to the “Alabama” where
her lovyer waited to receive her with open arms and
loose purse strings. Mrs. Brown could nqt persuade
Bertha out of the notion, and, iDdeed, she testified in
court that she had no particular objections to Bertha
leaving, until she found out that that individual had
packed all her be st clothes in a trunk and was fixing
to carry them off. She invoked the aid of the police,
and had Bert arrested. For yelling and resisting tbe
officers, Bertha pays the cost, and an admonition to
stay at home.
Mr. Young, it he is not the real author of “Too
Young to Love,” is too young to know how to refuse a
drink when he doesn’t pay for it, was found by the
police <^i Marietta street setting on his coat tail, and
addressing a street lamp, under tho impression tnat
he was in love with it, aud was making a decided im
pression. Ha said to it: ^
“Afeared of thi brite ise, that shot
Thar glances like a ray,
That aims from out the sun’s bright face
Upon a cloudless dsy.
Afeared of that sweet little mouth,
Whence music comes so free.
While all the time I think I thort
I wish the feller was me.”
The “feller” that he alluded to was Mr. James Jones,
who was holding on to the cast iron object of his af
fections in the anguish of an unappeasable despsir.
Both were required to pay the city the usual stipend
for judicial treatment.
The atmosphere became so dense and close at this
stage of the proceedings, that Jonacn thought it best
to “go over” till this morning, and several cases were
“carried,” and after this announcement was made,

gave a reception last evening at their hall, which waa
Interesting and wall attended. The music, both vocal

On yesterday morning, a Herald reporter, after
having laid in an ample supply of ebampagno, cigars
and other necessaries of life, crawled aboard the
'Herald Special Mail Train,” for the purpose of
supervising her initiatory trip to Macon with the
Herald maiL 1:39, the time of departure being an
nounced, the engineer pulled open her throttle valves
snd tot her slide, followed at a respectable distance by
the Constitution engine.
The reporter, having deposited himself on the soft
side of a I03 of wood, commenced taking in the situa
tion. At first, the novelty of
BEING BOUNCED ABOUT BY THE ENGINE
like a rnbber ball, was pleasant, but my partiality
e truth forces me to state
that this way of being battledoorcd about by the ten-
der of the eugine became monotonous and tiresome.
Hence this reporter feels that he can chronicle in his
register of Indisputable facts, that riding on an engine
is pleasing if token homeopathically, but that a dose
of one hundred miles is a decided nuisance. I feel
melancholy now every time I sit down, to think of it.
Nothing transpired to relieve the monotony of travel,
save the descent of a gentle rain, which insinuated
Itself so gracefully between our shirt and back that
we really couldn’t get mal. When we came to Griffin
there was found a large placard stretched across the
entrance of the depot, with “ Herald ” inscribed
thereon, in the hugest of letters. There was nothing
else on this canvas.
At Forsyth wo met many citizens, among whom
we found Mr. Stone, of the Monroe Advertiser, wbo
presented the Herald with three bottles of cham
pagne, accompanied by the following card: “Compli
ments of the Monroe Advertiser to the Atlanta Her-
AX.D—tbe pioneer in Southern journalism. Faina
semper virat.” Though it was raining at the time, wa
found in the Advertiser a notice of our enterprise and
a description of “the soft, mellow rays of the sun,”
etc. How Stone made such a blunder we cannot di
vine, unless it was from the fact that be
passed tbe major part of the night in
testing wine so as to be certain to present us that of a
good quality, and bad mistaken our headlight for the
rising run.
At Macon we only had time to distribute the mail
for the various roads, and to satisfy an appetito whet
ted by railroad travel, when oar engineer announced
himself ready to return. We hustled on board and
started homeward. The return trip was much moi e
pleasant. At Coalaparche we were met by Mr. T. E.
Walton, who handed us a list of nine daily sub
scribers for the Herald, which he drummed up dur
ing the day. At Forsyth a gentleman handed us tbe
following note from the Mayor and Council of For
syth, and a long list of subscribers:
To the Editors of the Herald :
Gknt9—Mayor and quorum Common Council of
Forsyth being absent, the undersigned acknowledges
with pleasure the compliments of the Atlanta Daily
Herald, and respcctfnlly begs to state that the party
who assembled to drink your offering, are unanimous
and “firm in the faith” that an enterprise conducted
with the shrewdness, tact, sense, energy and dash as
the Herald, can never lust.
J. M. Ponder,
Intendint pro tern.
At B&rnesvllle, we received a telegram from the Star
aud the News asking 11s to be their guests at dinner.
Our leisure moments from that point were spent in
dreaming of the good things that awaited us. The
realization of the dinner exceded what onr fancy had
pictured—and we showed our appreciation by throw
ing ourselves around a quart or two of that fluid,
which is not generally used at Good Templar meetingse
and by eating so much,that our clothes did not fit after
wards. The way in which this reporter showed how
healthy he was, was both complimentary ancLalarm-
ing to Mr. Geo. Byiugton, our host. All along tho line
of road our enterprise received the plaudits of tbe
people. The trip, if not a pleaiant one, is one that
will be long remembered.
One thing was patent and apparent, and that was
the perfect enthusiasm that prevailed along the line
in regard to the Herald. From every village and
city came but one voice, and that in exceeding praise
of tbo enterprise of the paper, which, from its very in
ception, has led its contemporary “up the heights.”
We publish a spicy article ou the subject of the
special trains, from tho Griffin Star:
OREAT EXCITEMENT IN GRIFFIN—THE CONSTITUTION
AND HEBALD ENGINES FLASH THROUGH TOWN,
BEARING THE MAXL8.
At an early hour this morning the quiet of our
peaceful little city was disturbed by the unearthly
shrieks of the two rival engines from Atlanta, repre
senting those two metropolitan journals, the Const!
tutlon and Herald.
Quite a concourse of our oli logy citizens had con'
gregated on the line of the road in the upper end of
the town to see the machines come in. The Herald
was of course ahead, and presented a forgeoua ap
pearance. The engine was decorated with the coloif
of all nations—prominent above all others Mas the
flag of the Modocs ingeniously arranged .ps a transpa
rency athwart the drummond headlight. 6itting up
on the cow-catcher, bareheaded, with each particular
hair on end, a flame of fire issuing from his nostrils,
snd Roman fire-works exploding from xsaqts s—was
the illustrious Col. Henry Waxelbaura Grady, whose
cry was “Victory or death!” In the engine house,
with his hand on the handle of the throttle valve
stood the grim-visaged snd heroic Abrams, shouting,
Put on more steam!” Among the rubbish between
the engine snd the tender, we recognized the youthfu
features of the poetic Bill Moore, who was slinging
tar, pitch and turpentine into tbe furnace with
all his might, and singing “Scots wbo ha’ with
Wallace bled.” His noble face was begrimed with
soot, and smoke and train oil. bat through it a!l could
be discerned the blinding lustre of bis matchless gen
ius. Young Grsdy was strapped astride of a huge mor
tar on the tender with a lighted torch in his hand,
from which mortar the mails were discharged at the
various stations. As Bob Alston had gone North to
buy a balloon, he wasn’t along, but his life-size por
trait was pinioned to the smoke-stack, “snd a lovely
picture it was.”
Just in the rear of the Herald engine was the Con
stitution engine, draped in mourning at the loss of
subscribers on the West point road. The tender was
loaded with combustibles of every description* includ
ing nitre glycerine, on which were seated the mild,
gentle Avery, the handsome Whidby, and the-dignified
Hemphiil. They all wore quilted garments; and
Whidby had a large feather bed strap
ped securoly to that portion of his person
which usually arrives last at the place of his desti
nation. Col. Clark was at the post of danger, of
course, whispering a plot to the engineer, who, by the
was Billy Mitceell, and just as both engines passed
Major Bates’ residence, in the suburbs of town,
Mitchell by superhuman effort, jumped his machine
on the parallel track of the North Alabama Road,
Clark slung a barrel of nitro-glycerine into the fnr-
naoe, and tbe Constitution engino darted past the
Herald, not, however, withont a shot from Abrams’
fowling-piace, which brought down smoke stock of the
Constitution. Tbe latter, however, reached tho depot
first, and in its hour of triumph dropped its messen
ger with the mall ahead of the Herald. Alas, for hu
man hopes! Just as the messenger reached the post
offlee the mortar of the Herald was dis
charged and the Herald’s mall went tear
ing through the back window of tbe post
offlee just two seconds shead of the Constitution. Bill
Mitchell gave a yell of despair, Hemphill tore off his
wig, Clark jerked off bis British whiskers,
Whidby fainted, and a can of glycerine
blew the gentle Avery’s eye-glasses and
all. “over the hills to the poor house.” About this
time we heard the Herald’s mortar at Barnesville.
This settles the business of “the largest aggregate
circulation.”

EXTRACTS FROM
Lard Thief Captured—A negro man was yester
day evening arrcBted for stealing lard from one of the
cars at the Macon and Western Railroad Depot, in this
city. He was discovered in the act and captured. He
onjoyed the hospitalities of the station house last
night, and will be brought out and tried UDder war-l
rar t charging him with larceny.
Finding a Tbeasube in a Kentucky Cave.
[Greeneville Independent.]—We learn that a
yonDg man by the name of Mullins, while
out coon hunting one night last week, chased
the coon into a cave near Charles Biven’s
farm. Having some curiosity to explore the
cave, he went back the next morning and
entered. The entrance to the cave was very
low, and for some distance ho bad to crawl
upon his hands and knees; bat as he ad
vanced the openiDg gradually widened until
he found himself in a large room with several
passages leading from it. He followed one of
them for several hundred yards, until his way
was obstructed by a well; desiring to find out
the depth of the well, he threw some pebbles
down,learning in this w ay that it was very shal
low. He went back to the opening of the cave
and cut a pole some 10 or 12 feet in length, and
taking it to the well he put one end of it
down, and in that way climbed to the bottom
of the well, when he was very much surprised
to see another opening. He had followed this
for some fifteen or twenty yards, whea his
torch went out In groping his way back to
the well by feeling along the walls of the pas
sage, his hand came in contact with a metal
box placed in a small groove in the well. On
carrying this box to the light he found it to
be made of iron, very much corroded with
rust, and having no fastening to it but a hasp.
Ou opening the box he found fifty gold dol
lars and some small silver pieces, none of
them of later dates than 1820. Very much
elated with his good fortune, he obtained
help, and has been making a thorough search
of the cave for more hidden treasures, but up
to this time has found nothing else. Can
some one tell us who left that box in the
cave?

At the last annual exhibition of the English
Royal Academy. Miss Louisa Starr carried off
the gold medal for the best historical painting.
She is described as a simply attired young la

The Turner engravings stock has been pur
chased for £10,000. It has beeu the inten
tion of the owners to destroy the plates after
the sale of the pictures, but a high bid was
made for them and thus the number of cop
ies will be no longer limited to the compara
tively small number in existence.
The club-handled parasols are vindicating
their usefulness. A young lady recently, at
Morristown, “laid out” a savage dog with
one of these airy trifles in the most effectual
manner.
