I’lTim..— 1 The efforts of any man or
party of men to create a prejudice
against the city authorities by pander
ing to the disappointments or specula
tive propensities of the people, in
denouncing the action of Council in
prohibiting the sale of melons and
cabbage, is simply pitiful. The Coun-
t.l was not actuated by any hostility to
car country friends or to the poor, but
a regard for the best interests of the
t;I .' caul of humanity. The use of
melons and cabbage was deemed pre-
judicial. at this particular juncture, to
‘fie health of the city. The Council
"•'vly prohibited the sale. Any man
01 common sense will approve their
motives, however much they may differ
ha judgment.
Hus erv about the rights of the poor
1 car people, is a hypocritical humbug.

A New York correspondent says
No one who has visited Europe will
fail to appreciate the following: A
prominent Boston gentleman, a propri
etor of one of the leading Boston dailies,
had just arrived in the steamer from
Europe, and met with a New York
friend, while registering his name in
the exchange of the Grand Central
Hotel.
The New Yorker evidently expects
to hear the usual glowing tale of those
fresh from the tour, and begins thus
“ Hallo, Charley! Glad to see you
back! Iiow-d’you enjoy yourself, old
fellow? Have a good time?”
“Good time!” grumbled Charley,
“I’m so glad to get back, I can’t tell!
I’ve- had nothing to cat since I’ve been
away. Prunes and sour wine going,
and prunes and sour wine coming. Sick
dog, at that! London—bloody
beef and cold mutton, ale and fog.
Paris—sour wines and fancy crumbs.
Germany, etc.—bitter beer, sour wine,
and heaven knows what in the dishes.
Taverns—candles, and paid service
everywhere. Not a first-class sensible
hotel like this anywhere, to say nothing
of the price. Thank the Lord I’m
home again!”
“But the steamer, the ocean?” sug
gested Charley’s friend.
“ Prunes and sour wine, I tell you;
cried Charley. “ Let’s go up stairs and
get something to eat.”
And they disappeared in the elevator
to the evident amusement, not to say
gratification, of mine host Powers and
of a number of other gentlemen who
had thus heard European and Ameri
can hotels so summarily and truthfully
criticised and the Grand Central
“ brought to the front” in such few
words.
During a recent visit to New York
we spent a few days at the Grand Cen
tral, and can reiterate the opinion of
the tojirist, that such a “sensible hotel
like this'' is hardly to be found elsewhere,

The Georgia Institution for the Deaf i
Dumb.
This institution, located at Cave
Spring, in this county, is now organ
ized, witb'an excellent Steward and a
full corps of competent teachers. The
next term will open the first Tuesday
in September. Every preparation will
be made to render the children comfort
able, and make them feel at home.
Tuition, board, and all necessaries
are furnished free of charge, except
clothing, and even that when parents
are not able to furnish it themselves.
It is a noble charity, dispensing its
blessings to an unfortunate class. Every
mute in the State, between the ages of
ten and twenty-seven, ought to be in it,
and we urge upon evert’ parent or guar
dian, in every county in the State, to
send their sons and daughters, and all
ministers of the Gospel, public officers,
and other citizens, to use their best
efforts to induce them to do so.
George W. Thomas is president of
the institution, and A. J. King secre
tary and treasurer. Address W. O.
Connor, principal.
The South at Vienna.
From the New York Herald of the
12th we take the following account of
Southern products on exhibition at
Vienna:
There was lead, iron, coal, from Illi
nois and Missouri; sulphur and rock
salt from Louisiana; coal and iron,
from rich, unhappy Alabama; phos
phates from Vermont, and a noted con
tribution from Tennessee—of massive
block coal.
An exhibition of these useful, un
gainly stones is not winning even to
an Emperor on a morning tour of ob
servation, but Francis Joseph studied
them in a general way, and was sur
prised at the richness and evident mag
nitude of the formations of coal and
iron.
“ It must be a country of wonderful
resources,” he said “ that leaves so little
to be desired, except the means of
making these resources useful to man
kind.”
Nor was this wonder subdued by his
impressions of the department which
shows the products of the Southern
soil. It seemed to your correspondent,
who was in the Emperor’s suite, and
generally at his side during the whole
journey, that whatever came from the
South possessed an unusual interest to
him.
“ We are curious,” said one of his
suite, “ to see what has been done in
these States since the war, and how
their industries have survived the war.”
Here first to tho eye came sugars and
syrups; yellow and white sugar from
Louisiana; clarified sugars through
which the sun shone; crystal syrups
sugars made from various processes—
from the open kettle, the steam pan,
the vacuum pan, as clarified by sulphur
and lime.
The Emperor paused at each display,
noting every varying feature, asked
to the methods employed in each vari
ety of manufacture, noticing especially
a small collection of tobacco from Vir
ginia, which he examined with the air
of a connoisseur,without giving an opin
ion, and a little shaving of chocolate
and cocoa, as prepared by Mr. Lepey,
New Orleans. I am afriad he did not
dwell long upon the flour, although
was ready from Missouri, Ohio, Ken
tucky and Vermort, supplemented by
some Valley Junction, Ohio, produc
tion in the way of hominy and wheat-
en grits, and a New York display
from Evys & Essell of “ Imperial Scotch
oatmeal.”
But while dwelling upon the South
we noted the admiration and interest
which attended the imperial examina
tion of the trophy of cotton which
stands at the entrance of the west gate.
Cotton in all forms, gracefully built up
and festooned and twined into cunning
shapes, forms this trophy—cotton from
Mobile, New Orleans, St. Louis, Lee
county,Mississippi; Linnieue,Missouri,
and Memphis; notably a cotton plan
in full bloom, furnished by a negro of
Charleston, who had been a slave, but
tvho brought hither this tree as a free
man to deck the trophy which awaits
an Emperor.
Here also we noted silk cocoons and
expressions of moss and hemp and
twine and works from the South addin;
to the trophy, and showing that war,
however it may have channelled and
furrowed the fair fields of these noble
Southern States, did not deaden the
life that dwelt in their soil nor the en
ergy and genius of the men who culti
vate their acres.
All this profoundly interested Francis
Joseph, who stood for some time exam
ining the trophy—the banner, so it
seemed, that proclaimed to the world
that cotton was again king—a king no
less because these, her tributes and
harvests and tokens of strength, are the
work of freemen and not of slaves.
Considering all things, the South
should be proud of her share in this
American department. If all States
had done as well as Louisiana and Mis
souri many American checks would
not have blushed, as in following the
Emperor ,to-day they saw what America
had done and knew liow much more
grandly and proudly she could do.
Protracted Meeting.—During the
past week a protracted meeting has
been held at Pope’s Chapel, in this
county, by Rev. W. P. Rivers. There
were eighteen professed conversions,
and thirteen accessions to the Metho
dist Church.
The church was greatly revived, and
much good was accomplished in that
neighborhood generally.
Steamer for the Oostauaula.
Capt. A. B. Coulter, the enterprising
boat builder of this city, has the con
tract for building the new steamboat
for the Oostanaula, and commences
work at once. He expects to have it
afloat within ninety days, or by the
first of December at the latest. The
hull will be built at Resaca. The
engine, we understand, will be built by
Messrs. Seay & Walker of this city.
Warehouse and Seed Store.—Hice
Howel and Tom Williamson have
formed a partnership, rented the Plant
ers’ Warehouse, and are going to deal
exclusively in field and garden seeds
in connection with the cotton ware
house and general commission busi
ness. In all the essential elements of
energy, enterprise, integrity and desire
to please their customers, these young
entlemen have no superiors in this
section of country. We believe they
will be eminently successful. See ad
vertisement, and give them a helping
hand.

J. M. M. Caldwell.
Baptist Female College.
It is with pleasure we call attention
to the announcement made in our ad
vertising columns, of the organization
of the faculty of this new educational
institute. The advancement of our
city demands the increase of our edu
cational facilities, and it is a gratifying
evidence of our growing prosperity that
this demand is being felt.
A people’s advancement may be
measured by its educational progress;
and not only measured, but really sus
tained and encouraged. While our
present wants demand this increase of
scholastic facilities, the establishment
of the Institute will still more conduce
to our prosperity, and in sustaining the
enterprise we will in fact be promoting,
the beet interest of the city.
That the Baptist Female College will
acceptably supply the needs for which
its organization is proposed, the admir
able Faculty announced this morning
leaves us no room to doubt. We can
without hesitation commend each Cf
the teachers to the confidence of thi
public. They are each eminently ca
pable, and botli by experience and
thorough culture well qualified for
their several positions.
We cordially wish the Institution
an abundant success. .
The Law Concerning Distilleries.
In answer to enquiries made by a
gentleman of this county, the United
States Internal Revenue Department
has furnished the following instructions,
which may be of interest to many of
our readers:
Collector’s Office, Atlanta,
August 15,1873.
Sir,—In reply to yours of 14th inst,
I would say, that the person whom you
speak of as wanting to run two or three
stills to make com whiskey, will have
to construct a regular distillery build
ing, which may be of planks or logs.
He will have to arrange his mash tubs
and fermenting tubs in proper order.
He will have to provide three or more
cisterns in a separate room attached to
the building, in which he will run
every day’s product separate, etc.
If ho intends to erect a distillery, we
will furnish him a pamphlet giving the
mode of construction in detail.
After having erected the building and
fitted up all the necessary apparatus,
he will have to have a plan made of
distillery. At the same time, a sur
vey of tne x. i„i, s an( j fermenting
tubs will be made by this omce in oruer
to determine the capacity of the distal
lery for every twenty-four hours.
The distiller will then give notice on
a prescribed form of his intention to
carry on the business of distillery, and
also register his stills. At the same
time he will give bond, with two sure-

one remedy unsurpassed for efficiency and rapid
action.
In the great cities of British India, the West
India Islands, and other hot climates, it has now
become the standard medicine for all such com
plaints, as well as dyspepsia, liver complaint and
other kindred disorders. For coughs and colds,

CAUSED BY
DERANGEMENT OF LIVER!
Liver Complaint are a bitter
or bad taste in the mouth—pains in oaek, sides
or joints, often mistaken for Rheumatism— sour
stomach—a loss of appetite—bowels alternately
costive and lax—headache—loss of memory,with
painful sensation of having failed to do some act
which ought to have been done—debility—low
spirits—thick, yellow appearance of the eyes and
skin—a dry cough, often mistaken for consump
tion. Sometimes many of these symptoms come
with the disease, and at other times very few—
but the Liver, the largest organ in the body, is
generally the seat of the disease, and if it is not
regulated in tim«, great suffering, wretchedness
and death will ensue.
This Great Unfailing Specific will not be found
in the least unpleasant.

Dons at this Office.
I anr engaged in the manufacture of the cele
brated Family Medicine, at Atlanta, known as
the Calhoun Liver ard Anti-Bilious Pills, under
the supervision and assistance of Dr. Calhonn
himsolf. This Pill has been in use for the last
thirty-five years, and has taken precedence over
all other family preparations, by all who have
used them.^ Thousands would certify to their
great value if necessary. One fact should super
sede any amount of evidence, and that fact is
this—Dr. Calhoun has been physician to Fnlton
county prison for over seven years, when the
number of prisoners ranged from 20 to 70, with
all the diseases incident to this climate. With
but few exceptions they have all been treated
with this pill, and astonishing to say, during that
long period, not a solitary death occurred under
his treatment. This fact is worth any amount
of testimonials.
I AM NOW PREPARED
to fill orders from druggists, merchants, and
others. All orders sent to me shall have prompt
attention. There is no type of
FEVER, DYSPEPSIA, DIARRH(EA AND
RHEUMATISM,
or other diseases ot a Southern climate, but
yields readily to this preparation.
