pastoral changes, revivals— every thing, in fact, which
enters into the current history of the denomination.
Such intelligence is always thankfully received and
published promptly.

by Monday. Let all of our friends bear this in mind.
Brother Toon, we are glad to record, is still im
proving, has been able to sit up a little for several
days past, but not to try his strength on his feet; but
hopes are entertained of a more rapid improvement
in future.
Bear in mind, brethren, that the office of the
Franklin Printing House is not on Alabama, but on
Broad street, in anew, three-story brick building,
with iron verandah in front, near the mouth of the
bridge, south side, about one hundred and fifty yards
farther from the depot than the old office.
The advertisement of Kendrick’s Carpet Emporium
appears in the Index to-day. We advise our friends
io send their orders to this establishment for anything
in the line of carpets, mattings, shades, etc. Satis
faction is always given.
Moore’s Atlanta Business College.— We take
much pleasure in calling attention to the proceedings
of a recent meeting of the students of the above ex
cellent institution, to be found in our special column
to-day. The praise bestowed on the institution and
the worthy President, is alike deserved. It is indeed
one of the best of Business Colleges, and deserves
the high success with which it is meeting. Young
men who wish a thorough business education, can
obtain it in Moore’s Atlanta Business College.
The large drug house of Messrs. Pemberton, Tay
lor & Cos., of this city, took fire on Tuesday night,
and was badly damaged before the flames could be
arrested. We, in common with the entire commu
nity, regret the disaster which has befallen our friends,
but we trust to see their beautiful establishment fully
repaired in a few days, and an increased and more
remunerative trade than ever engaging their atten
tion. They merit it.
The Atlanta fire department deserve high praise
for the promptness and energy displayed in suppress
ing what otherwise would have been a most disas
trous fire.
The Period is the title of anew monthly paper, the
publication of which has just commenced in this city
by Drs. Stoute and Hape, editors and proprietors.
The first number presents a very handsome appear
ance typographically, and is replete with entertaining
and instructive matter, touching the leading interests
of Georgia and the South, to which the paper is de
voted. The editors are men of brains, learned and
refined, and the proper persons to write for the en
lightened men and women of the period. The Peried
will print an edition ranging from 5,000 to 2C.000
copies monthly, will be distributed through the mails
gratuitously, thus making it a most valuable adver
tising medium, and as such it is offered to the busi
ness men of the country. Success attend the Period.
Dr. W. A. Hooten’s Infirmary for the Blind. —
At this institution many very remarkable cures have
been performed. Scores who came to the Infirmary
nearly and quite blind, have returned to their fami
lies rejoicing in a restored sight; and many are to
day undergoing treatment there who are experiencing
the same happy results. These statements are based
on a personal knowledge of the facts, and the prac
tice is unhesitatingly commended to all whose eyes
are diseased. Dr. 11. has just had printed, a large
number of thousands of circulars for gratuitous circu
lation. These circulars embrace the certificates of
some of our most respectable and worthy citizens, as
well as a general statement from a large number of
the patients of the institution who reside in different
portions of this and other States. The test of refer
ences and certificates could not be made stronger
or more reliable. Read advertisement in this num
ber of the Index.
“ Reminiscences of an Old Georgia Lawyer”—
What the press say of it:
We have before us a copy of “ Reminiscences of
an Old Georgia Lawyer,” by Hon. Garnett Andrew's,
which has just been issued from the press ofMr. J. J.
Toon, of the Franklin Printing House. The book
comprises over one hundred pages, and it abounds
in anecdote, history and tradition, illustrating the
times and people of which Judge Andrews writes.—
JYew Era, Atlana.

We have partially examined the work, and are much
pleased and entertained with its contents. To the
subsequent generation, it will afford much amusing
as well as instructive reading.— lntelligencer, Atlanta.

The Printing Facilities of Atlanta.—
Not the least enterprising of our citizens are
its printers and publishers. The Franklin
Steam Printing and Publishing House is
the largest establishment of the kind in the
city. It occupies a spacious three story build
ing on Broad street. It is owned by J. J.
Toon, Esq., who also publishes the Index, a
popular religious journal of the Baptist per
suasion.—Atlanta Period.
The Atlanta New Era announces anew im
provement. The Western <fe Atlantic rail
road has just put in an immense Fairbanks
scales, sufficiently large to weigh one-hundred
thousand pounds at a draft. A railway track
runs across the platform of the scales, so that
an engine or a car can be run upon it and its
exact weight ascertained in a few minutes. It
is the only scales of its size in the State, and
one for which the road has almost a daily use.
The Memphis Avalanche says if Mississippi
manufactured all the cotton produced within
the State’s confines, its wealth would be
almost incalculable. In 1860 the crop of
Mississippi exceeded one million bales, worth
about $39,000,000. During the same year
Massachusetts manufactured 316,665 bales,
realizing $36,500,000. In other words, Mas
sachusetts, in manufacturing less than one
third of the cotton produced by Mississippi,
realized very nearly the same amount of cash
income, and if Mississippi had manufactured
all her cotton crop, the income to the State
for the year would have been one hundred
and forty millions, instead of thirty-nine mil
lions.

Is Hydrphobia Contagious ?—Mrs. Solo
mon, of Springfield, Ohio, is lying danger
ously ill from the effects of hydrophobia. Her
husband died on the 23d ult. from the same
disease, having been bitten by a rabid dog
five years previously. The wife had been a
constant attendant on her husband during his
illness, and is supposed to have become inocu
lated with the virus by handling the clothes
which had been used in removing the saliva
from his mouth. The hopes of her recovery
are not strong.
The Solicitors’ Journal, a high authority on
English law points, thinks that the question
involved in the celebrated divorce case of
Mordaunt vs. Mordaunt,” viz : whether the
insanity of respondent is a bar to a suit for
dissolution of marriage, is likely soon to be
decided. Lord Penzance, the Judge, gave no
opinion as to whether permanent insanity
would be a bar to the suit; he decided that
whichever way that point were decided,it might,
nevertheless, be held that a suit should not
be continued during a temporary derange
ment.
The Mormons. —The entire Mormon popu
lation of Utah consists of 120,000 all told. Os
these, 20,000 are marriageable men ; 4.000
husbands have but one wife. Very few have
more than three wives. To be much married
is*an expensive business, apart from any in
convenience.
This population is scattered over 300 miles
of territory. Their means are small. Most

Some of the Madrid papers say that the
Duke of Montpensier is about to start for
Portugal, others that he will go to Seville ;
but it is supposed that his interests and pre
tentions would be likely to retain him in Mad
rid. The result of the duel renders him lia
ble to four years’ banishment; but probably
no steps will be taken against him, and al
though what passed is notorious, it would be
very difficult to get witnesses to depose
against him in a court of law. There seems
to have been some sort of investigation, for
we are told that persons examined, said Don
Enrique had accidentally killed himself when
trying his pistols.
The National Debt.— The following table,
officially prepared at the Treasury Depart
ment, exhibits the time it would take to can

In Bigelow vs. DeForest, to obtain posses
sion of land sold under confiscation, the pres
ent suit was brought by the heirs of the
former owners. The case comes from Vir
ginia on an application to remove it from the
State to a Federal Court. The Supreme
Court decides that the law of 1863 provides
only for personal, and not real estate cases,
but on the merits of the case, says, a sale
under confiscation affects the title only during
the life of the owner, upon whose death the
title descends as though there had been no
confiscation sale. The Court decided in a
case from Kentucy, that States may tax shares
in national banks as distinct from banks’ cap
ital ; and that tax levied by States on share
holders may be collected with banks by
garnishee. Chase dissented. In a case from
Louisiana, the Court decided the Legislature
may, by act, alienate property of minors.
Heir Looms. —The Richmond Dispatch
makes this interesting note: Richard W.
Forrest, of Halifax county, Va., now lives on
the land on which his grandfather, Richard
Forrest, lived. He has in his possession a
powder gourd, with the name of Richard
Forrest, 1766, cut on the gourd in plain let
ters and figures. He also has in his posses
sion his grandfather’s old family Bible, printed
in old English, and published in the time of
the reign of King James. The said Richard
W. Forrest is a bankrupt; he has surrendered
everything else he owned upon earth except
this one hundred and fifteen acres of land,
upon which he resides, the powder horn and
the Bible, and says he will die before he will
surrender and leave the old homestead. He
lives in the house where his father, James
Forrest, was born, and in the house in which
his grandfather, Richard W. Forrest, died.
He raised a pumpkin vine on this land in
1868, from one seed, that grew thirty feet,
and raised twirty-two good, large pumpkins.
Roumania, which is likely to be the scene
of war, comprises the old districts of Molda
via and Wallachia which, in December, 1861,
were united into one province, under the suze
rainty of Turkey. In 1864, a revolution
broke out, which was, however, speedily sup
pressed. Anew constitution was then adopted
and amended, in 1866, in such a manner as to
confer the legislative power to a National
Congress, consisting of a Senate with seventy
six members, and a Chamber of Deputies
with one hundred add fifty-seven members.
The first soveieign, or Hospodar, was Prince
Alexander Couza, who, when compelled to
abdicate, was succeeded by Prince Charles of
Hohenzollern, a nephew of the present King of
Prussia. He was elected in 1866, and rec
ognized by the Sultan as the hereditary Hos
podar. He is, as already alluded to, influenced
altogether by Bismarck, and Roumania is be
coming rapidly “ Prussianized.” Hence, the
desire of the people who have been instigated
against him by the secret, agents of Austria,
France and Russia, to get rid of this scion of
the house of Hohenzollern.
Statistics of the Confederate Army.
A meeting of the Confederate Relief and
Historical Society was held at Memphis, on
the 30th ultimo, Governor Harris in the Chair.
Dr. Avant read a communication on the Con
federate Army, which contained the following
statistics:
Year. Killed. Wounded. Prisoners.
1861 1,815 4,057 2,772
1862 18,582 68,652 48,300
1868 11,876 51,818 71,211
Totals.. 52,773 194,026 202,288
If the deaths from disease be added, the
sum total will present the entire loss. The
returns of the field and general hospitals are
known for 1861-62, and if it be fair to as
sume the total mortality of 1863 and 1864
was fully equal to that of 1862, then the total
deaths in the Confederate army in 1861-62
were at least 160,000, exclusive of the deaths
in the Northern prisons, which would swell
the number to nearly 185,000; and if the
deaths among the discharged for wounds and
diseases, and among the sick and wounded
on furlough, be added, the grand total of
deaths in the Confederate army, during the
entire war, did not fall far short of 200,000.
According to this calculation, the deaths from
diseases were about three times as numerous
as those resulting from 'the casualties of bat
tle,
The available Confederate force capable of
active service did not, during the entire war,
exceed 600,000 men. Os this number not
more than 400,000 were enrolled at any one
time; and the Confederate States never had
in the field more than 200,000 men capable
of bearing arms at any one time, exclusive of
sick, wounded and disabled.
The other business transacted at this meet
ing was the introduction; by General Pillow,
of an amendment to the constitution, reported
as follows:
Any Confederate soldier may be eligible to
membership in the association when his record
as a soldier is blameless: Provided, that
where the applicant left the service before the
end of the war he shall have been honorably'
discharged, and after leaving, his conduct must
have been such as to leave no doubt of his
continued devotion to the Confederate cause
until the end of the war.
Mr. Davis and Senator Cameron. —The
following letter, from Hon. Jefferson Davis,
has been received by a prominent citizen of
Philadelphia in denial of the statement made
by Senator Cameron to the effect that he had
said to Mr. Davis that his seat in the Senate
would be filled by' a colored man:
Memphis , Tenn., March 23d, 1870.—My
Dear Sir—Yours of the 2d instant reached
here during my absence, which will explain
the delay in this reply. Senator Cameron
made no such statement, as that quoted by
you. He made no refi*arks to me at the time
of my withdrawal from the Senate other than
the expression of wishes for me.
His relations with m.ef had been uniformly
those of personal kindness, and I have ex
pected him, as a duty to himself and to truth,
to deny having made such remarks as have
been imputed in the newspapers.
Men had not then reached the degree of
stultification which caused the withdrawal of
States from the Union to be called “rebellion,”
and the only remark, so far as I know, made
by any Senator, which had the least practical
bearing, was the expression of Mr. Hale, of
New Hampshire, that he expected us all soon
to come back.
Very respectfully and truly yours,
Jefferson Davis.
Marietta Free ScliooF>-Metiiod of Obtaining
Means.
In my last it was stated that the manner of
sustaining this school should be spoken of.
First of all, it was resolved that no per
sonal direct appeal should be made to any
individual for means to support the school,
but that special prayer should be made to
Almighty God, asking Him to move the
hearts of benevolent men and women to sup
ply means to sustain the enterprise. In con
nection with this, it was determined to give
such publicity to the existence of this school,
as to inform the public of its object and its
means of sustenance. I did not deem it at
all inconsistent with entire dependence upon
God for support, to let it be known in a pub
lic manner that this opportunity to do good
was offered to all who would voluntarily,
without solicitation, contribute to the interest
of the school. Beyond this, persons who
sent donations were entitled to the privilege
of knowing how their gifts were disposed of,
and as the easiest method of giving this in
formation, I made a monthly report in the
Christian Index, of receipts and expendi
tures. For two years money and clothing
was received in sufficient amount to meet all
the expenses of the school, viz : salaries of
teachers, purchase of books and repairs on
buildings. But within the last six months so
little money has been received, that I have
been paying expensestfrom the proceeds of a
Fair held last Aug'&t, in Marietta, using a
fund designed for tMlsreotion of a building,
in paying teachers, etc. I regard this as
a loan from building fund to incidental ex
pense fund, and I now notify the readers of
your paper, and others, that the school is still
in operation, and that there is reason to thank
God that it does exist, and further than this,
it must be understood that no personal appeal
will be made to any one for contributions;
but all donations voluntarily offered, will be
thankfully accepted. I take this occasion to
say, once for all, that 1 would regard it per
fectly Scriptural to ask men directly' for
money, but I prefer not to do it, simply be
cause it would be to myself a disagreeable
duty. W. L. Mansfield.

INFIRMARY FOR THE BLIND,
ATLANTA, GEORGIA,
Continues to perform the uki.-i remarkable cures of
the age on the Eye. Large numbers of persons have
been permanently restored from total blindness of from
one to ten years’ standing. Larger numbers have been
perfectly cured of diseases at all stages short of blind
ness. Any amount of unquestionable evidence can be
readily furnished persons desiring information.
Extract of a Letter from Col. E. M. Butt, of
Buena Yista, Ga.
The following extract from a private letter just re
ceived from Col. Butt, is published for the two-fold rea
son of answering the many inquiries of his numerous
friends, and of correcting a false report going the
rounds to the effect that he is “stone blind” again.
Col. B. was blind of Amurosis seven years. He had
never seen his children when he came to the Infirmary
fpr treatment. Hi* eyeballs were fixed in his head, and
he could not tell day from night. He is now practicing
law. His statement below will make light many a heart
caused to ache by the report that he was blind again;
Bck.na, Vista, Ga., April 10, 1870.
Dr. W. A. Hootbn, Atlanta, Ga —Dear Sir: My eyes
continue to improve, and myself and family feel that
you have been the means of bestowing such a blessing
Upon us that a liietime of gratitude canuot cancel the
obligation.
I remain your friend, E. M. BUTT.

The Stewart Stove, which has been in nse for
more than a quarter of a century, and by its economy
and complete adaptation to the wants of the kitchen,
has maintained an acknowledged superiority over all
other stoves, is now introduced to the public with all
the modern conveniences ot Front Draft, Ash
Drawer and Dumping Grate. The Flues have
also been enlarged and improved so as to ensure an ex
cellent Draft at all times, and still to retain in the stove
its unrivalled economical features. No stove has ever
yet been made to do as much work with as little fuel as
the Stewart. The following brief summary is the
result of One Day’s Work, recently accomplished
at Gloverßville. N. Y., with one Stewart Stove :
Baked 415 pounds of Bread, half a bushel of po
tatoes, 4 apple pies. Roasted 73 pounds of beef.
Boiled 1 barrel of water; also, 17 gallons heated to
150 degrees. All this with one coal fire, not a particle
of coal being put into the stove after tbe fire was start
ed in the morning. Those in want of Cook Stoves will
secure the most economy by procuring the best. Tbe
Stewart Stoves are for sale in nearly every town and
