By the swelling of the rill, Gliding on to village mill. Purling: purling, By the jay's metallic note. By the spider-webs that float From the treo-topa to the moat, Shining, shining. By the dim, mysterious hize, By the forest all ablaze, Crimson leaves with golden raya Entwining. By the soughing of the air, Note of joy or moan of care. Fairy laugh or spirit prayer Interweaving— All are now the waning power Of the sunny-snmmer hour Over tree and shrub and flower Perceiving. Nature, prodigal of treasure. O’er the vantage ground of pleasure, l’ours hor harvest wiihout measure, In golden light. The fulfilment, O how grand' But. as falls into the band Luscious fruit with Autumn brand, Burning, bright. Memories of the days gone by Will awake a bitter sigh. And we turn a tearful eye At that call.

Hay, have you met again to part no more, My bravo, true hearts ? Oh! You two loved me with a love so pure, Ho true, so fond, It must have lived through death—it must endure Through the Beyond. Although so low beneath your holy skies I.yeth its root, I foel its branches bear for angel eyes Eternal frnit. My heart has wandered from the Hummer light Of Hope’s fair lands ; A gay girl’s Hunset and a woman's Night Are clasping hands, And in this bitter twilight of the soul I stand alone, Listening to memory's surges as they roll, And break and moan. I am so tired, true and tender friends, Ho wearied ont! I fli.d Life’s gladdest hope too often ends In pain and doubt.

An unseen pencil paints the lissom leaf; The blades of grass grow pale and droop and die; While ears of gold from their protecting sheaf Lean out to hear the north wind whistle by. The Spring-tide music of the tuneful throng In other climes now wakes the hazy sun; While loitering crows drop down their mocking song From naked troe-top and from clouds of dun. In laughing orchards blushing boughs bend low. And bid to feasting ou their splendid freight; And hill-tops, waiting for their crown of snow, Look frowning dewu on vales all desolate. On wings of flame which spring from hearts ablaze. Caro takes his flight when fades the short lived day; And sweet Contentment, with her simple ways, Turns chill November into smiling May.

Herald.] For hours the resilience of Mr. A. J. Johnson, No. 9 East Sixty-fourth street, was thronged yesterday l>y the friends and admirers of the old Georgia states- j man, Alexander H. Stephens. Although , emaciated to a painful degree by the | malady which has afflicted him for years/the strength of a bright intellect and the triumph of a great will have for the time being overmastered disease, and the speech of Mr. Stephens is as clear and strong as that of a man in full health. His reception room overlooked a garden frouting Sixty-fifth street, and the warm sunlight flooded the apart- j ment, adding to the warmth and luxury of the surroundings. At the time of; the reporter's visit President Barnard, of Columbia College; General John Cochrane, Colonel Johnson, Colonel Jno. A. Stephens, Mr. Dawson and several other gentlemen were paying their re spects to the distinguished visitor. Mr. Stephens was seated in a large, softly cushioned camp chair, and discoursed freely to his visitors in his peculiarly eloquent manner about the South, the wants of the people, his hopes for the future and other matters. Some of his political remarks are as fresh as the dew on the grass, aud have not before been presented in print. For instance, he said: “Everything before President Hayes' announced southern policy seem* ed dark and chilly. It appeared to me we were further and further away from reconciliation snd peace, and drifting again into the shadows. The North, or rather the Northern politicians, either did not want to or did not seem to wish to believe that all the old issues of the war were dead. But with the advent of President Hayes all things were changed. For the first time I felt the thaw, and the chill was out of the air. I believe now that the danger is all over, and that the consummation of the peace and good will which the South has so ar dently desired is out of the hands of the politicians.” Mr. Stephens said if any body would look at the new Constitution of Georgia he could be convinced of the real state of feeling there, and he thought that was reflected throughout the South. lit Savannah is all agog over a goober raising process. THE CAMPAIUN. Hen. tirans K. Mblrt tor the I.miniature. Editors Chronicle and. Confititutionalist: As tbe time for bolding an election for members of the General Assembly is rapidly approaching it is time thst the names of suitable moo for the position shoo Id be suggested. In this connec tion permit me to present Hon. George R. Sibley for nomination as one of the two members from tbe city, Mr. Sib . ley’s recent services to tbe people of Angnsta and to tbe concty of Richmond are so fresh in the minds of car citizens that no extended notice of his qualifies tions for the office is necessary. He comes of an old and most respected family; he has held a seat in the City Council for many years, and is now Chairman of its most important commit tee; as, first, member and then Chairman of the Board of Education he has given efficient and unwavering support to the cause of education; as a delegate to tbe Constitutional Convention he assisted in framing the organic law upon which wc will vote in December and an examiria tion of the proceedings of that body will show the wisdom of his votes upon all the important questions considered. His financial ability will make him a most valuable member of the General Ass. mbly, while bis talents, his clear hea 1, sound judgment and kind heart will mike him a worthy representative of the county. His selection would give entire satisfaction to the people of the city and of the country. It would re flect credit upon the county to nominate him by a unanimous vote. Publius. J. M. St-OKO, Em|.. for tbe Legislature. Editors Chronicle and Constitutionalist: Permit me to suggest as a suitable candidate for the next Legislature, from tbe eonnt.v of Richmond, the name of Josiah M. He ago. Mr. Seago does not seek the office, neither would he enter into any contest to obtain the nomina tion, but I hope will allow his name to be used by bis friends. He is an edu cated and practical planter, a man of sound judgment upon all matters, ard a gentleman of unimpeachable integrity, and will do honor to the constituency that will elect him. Country. The Lfnislatßre. Editors Chronicle and Constitutionalist: Cordially endorsing every word used by one of your correspondents in suggesting the name of Mr. H. G. Wright in connection with legislative honors, I beg to present the name of a gent.eman worthy to bo his colleague— namely, that of Hon. George R, Sibley. Mr. Sibley is clear headed and not with out experience in deliberative bodies, A gentleman of enlarged and libera! views on all questions of State policy, he is known and honored for his sterling in tegrity and great moral worth. He and Mr. Wright walk abreust with the age. Richmond county would find in both these gentlemen watchful, genuinely progressive representatives. Young Man. The Stale Scnntoraliip. Editors Chronicle and Constitutionalist: As one of the people who feel an in terest in the welfare of tho State, and in the furtherance of the best interest of this District, it afforded me peculiar gratification when apprised of the proba ble caudidacy of our fellow-townsman, the Hon. H. Clay Foster, for election to the high and responsible office cf State Senator. I am satisfied when I affirm that in the approaching canvass he will be sustained aud supported by the solid business, thinking meu of this District, I only reflect a sentiment fn this Com munity which is gathering strength and credenoe as the contest deepens. In the expression of this opinion I am actuated by no partisan spirit, nor by the un worthy desire to engender strife by urging invidious comparisons. I regard nothing more vicious or reprehensible than the practice too frequently resorted to by politicians of creating, in the heat of a political oanvass, private and per sonal antagonisms. In our system, how ever, of representative government, it is tbe high duty and privilege of the citi zen to exercise untrammelled the free dom of the ballot; and the well beißg Of the Commonwealth depends upon the judicious selection of publio meu who commend themselves to society by their experience and ability as well as their i adaptability to the wants of tho people. Tho political pyigenoies, growing oat of the adoption U c new organic law, impose npon the next Ge*epr;jl Assembly duties, difficulties and labors whieh de maud the employment of the best talent which the State affords. A large portion of the new Constitution is powerless for good to our people, unless its great ma chinery is put in motion by appropriate legislation. It bears the same relation to the body politic that tho skeleton bears to the human body, and the muscle, sinews aud blood of legislation must bo added to give it life, symetry and vigor. Important, delicate and responsible trnste devolve upou tha ppyt Legisla ture, and the representatives of peo ple should be selected with an eye aiugle to their fitness for the great work which lies before them. Without, therefore, undertaking to discuss or criticise the abilities or the qualifications of other gentlemen, I believe the election of Mr. Foster will best satisfy the public de mand aud best subaerve the publio in terests. For solidity o i reasoning, force of sagacity, readiness iu debate, to say nothing of parliamentary experience and skill, no man in Richmond county is his superior. As an incisivo and forcible speaker, be is already widely known, and he possesses the qnality of “packing thought closely,’’pombmed with the pow er so rare, and yet so essential in a public debater, of thinking fin his feet. Some meu, and men too who have acquired reputation as think era and orators, plow, harrow and sow in the field of letters, but they never reap; they possess all the signs of intel leetnal agriculture except a harvest. W’hile the candidate of oap choice has a copious vocabulary (yet fit this sterile exuberance) he is a practical thinker, and never cultivates the foil age to the prejudice of the fruit; above all, like "a sentinel upon tha watch tower,” he guards aud studies the inter est of his constituents and is never lost while discharging public duty in the contemplation of himself. There is an other class of people, Messrs. Editors, (and bv far the larger aUss), to whom Olay Foster’s candidacy is gratifying; I allude to the poor and tbe laboring class. He has ever been watch - full of their interest, and a narrow ob server of their wants; professionally, he has always serve# (thejn. end when un able to conduct the expense which too often unhappily exclude t4i poor from the benefit of counsel, ho has represent ed them freely “without money #nd without price.” After all, the prim# ob ject of government is to alleviate sufler ing, and to do the greatest good to the greatest number; the alllueut and the prosperous can take uato of themselves, but organized society, by wholesome law, must take care of tho Laboring classes; it is among them that wa And real hnrnan nature; there the great popu lar heart throbs and distributes the blood of wealth among States and com munities. Some writer has graphically said "that wealth in its last analysis is bat the < sweat of the poor.” This is true, and it might be justly added, their blood the price of liberty. “Even the spark of freedom,” says Gibbon, the great histo rian, was produced by the collision of adverse servitude. This, the great body of the people, has always enlisted Mr. Foster’s sympathy and received his especial care as a legislator. Build up the laboring classes, harmouke the con flict between capital and labor ; this is the great duty pi government. This duty Clay Foster appreciates and fully understands ; he has laid therefore the foundation of liia strength by going dowu into those parts of bam nature which lie low, but which, like the ever lasting hills, are not likely to change. Because he has dug deep he is now enabled to pile high ; the fabric he has reared will stand with imtaovable strength, and wheu the ides of Deoem ber come I predict for him a triumph ant endorsement by § The Labokino People. I„ D. Daval, Esq., laclhe Irf*t*laiar. Editors Chronicle and Constitutionalist: Your Sunday’s issue contained letters commendatory of Messrs H. Gregg Wright and George R. Sibley as fit re presentatives of the people of Richmond county for legislative honors. Those communications meet with universal ap probation from the citixena at large, and the pnblie will with pleasure endorse such men ss her trusted servants. Mr. Wright as editor of the Chboniclk and Constitutionalist has evinced abilities that rank him amongst the ablest political writers of the oountry, while the con tinued, brilliant support and defense which he has always exerted in behalf of the Democratic cause entitles him to the everlasting gratitude of the party. As a dear headed, forcible, ready thinker and writer, Gregg Wright has but few superiors. Mr. George R. Sibley as a representa tive of the commercial interest of the city is a man whose high-toned integrity, polished manners and cultivated mind has alwavs been acknowledged, is one whom the people will be pleased to place as a colleague of Mr. Wright’s on their legislative ticket. Thus we have the commercial interest and the press ao ably represented, we therefore suggest as an appropriate companion piece to so ac ceptable a ticket the name of Louis Duval as a fit representative of the di versified interests of the country and the law. Asa practical farmer, a native to the manor born, he has won the re spect, admiration and friendship of his neighbors, while aa a lawyer he baa at tained that portion which has caused him to be admired for his talents and honored for his integrity. An honest, able lawyer, he is a man who will leave the impress of his legal talent on the law* of the State, and will reflect honor and credit on bis constituents at home. In the adaptation of the laws of the land to our new Constitution, the farmers and country people can rest assured that Louis Duval’s full knowledge of their wants will cause their every interest to be protected and their every right secured. So with every interest of the county represented by such men as Wright, Sibley and Duval, the people would soon "have the proud satisfaction of see ing their county assign to the position of honor and fame which she occupied in those days when Crawford, Miller, Camming and Jenkins appeared as Richmond’s delegation to the Btate’s council. Kenelm. THE SENATORIAL CANVASS. The Cause of Public Education. Editors Chronicle and Constitutionalist: The suggestion of Major Cumming’s name for the Senate from this District seems to meet with very general approv al. Tbe suggestion afforded me especi al pleasure as a friend to the great cause of public education. In the recent ad dress of Major Cumming before the Teachers’ Convention of Georgia, at Toceoa City, he established for himself the highest claims upon the esteem, re gard aDd support of all who are desirous of promotiug the great educational in terests of onr State. While that address can be commended by all instructors to the young as a model of English composition, yet ventnre to assert that never before in Georgia was this great cause more ably and eloquently advocated by any of her distinguished sons. I cannot re-, train from asking tbe publication of tbe following complimentry notice of this speech from the correspondent of the Macon Telegraph and Messenger, pre ceded by some comments from the Mil ledgeviile Union and Recorder. No one can read these criticisms without in dulging in a feeling of pride that he is a fellow-citizen of Joseph B. Cumming. “We read the address which was pub lished in the Chronicle and Constitu uionalibt with no ordinary pleasure. Major Cumming handled the subject in anew and masterly manner, exhibiting a thorough acquaintance with every step which the State of Georgia has taken in this most important matter, from the earliest period of its history to the pres ent time. It exhibited a laborious re search, accompanied with interesting comments, iooluding a plan of public instruction full of practical wisdom and utility. We substitute for some com ments which we desired to make upon this admirable production the following remarks which we copy from the Maoon Telegraph and Messenger j Correspondence of the Macon Telegraph and Messenger. 1 “You will indulge me, I know, while on this subject, iu a few words concern ing the admirable address of Hon. Joseph B. Cumming, of Augusta, de livered Thursday. Mr. Cumming, as most of yonr readers are aware, is a gen tleman of fine scholarship and liberal eultnre. In manners, he is the genuine Southern gentleman—refined, dignified and modest. As I listened to his chaste and eloquent words, coming forth like tbe clear water from a bubbling spring, pnrte and free, and followed him through his well rounded periods, whose force was made yet more forcible by a modesty and regard for tbe feelings of others who might differ from him that was refreshing as they are fare, I felt that the speaker was himself a splendid illljs (ration of the Grecian and Roman ora tors aud statesmen with whom he con trasted the average stump speaker and politician of our day. Mr. Cnnwnog has evidently given much thought to this matter of the establishment of an effi cient public school system for our State, and his opinions are entitled to the serious consideration of her patriotic citizens and statesmen.” The address should be read by all who want to understand the defects of our old oducational system in Georgia, our pres ept wants, and the necessary remedies which ww legislation should adopt. While all that” Map Camming suggests cannot probably be adopted at Qtice, yet no one knows better than he how such a system Bhould be modified unflej our Constitution so as to meet, as far as possible, al{ the requirements of our educational Hemnfifi*. all the friends of education see tq it tfiat jp the next Legislature of Georgia we shall have the Senate a man who, in this “admirable stress” before the Teach ers’ Contention, dtiopiaysuch ‘bor ough acquaintance with lps pf&t ?- jeot, and such noble and exalted senti ments in behalf of the youth pf Georgia. We shall then have a Senator capable, not only of appreciating the educational wan* B of Georgia, but wise enough to ! devise, and able enough to place in practical qpp'atiou, a system to supply those wants er 8 611^18 ' educational welfare.

Norlbrop—A Fam ily ftqtptMpd. [CorrespontienceCtirmiicOi undCfijistitiilionalist.] Charleston, October s. —The grei political reformation which commenced with the nomination of the State Demo cratic ticket is now to be continued in the fuyer country. The little differences betweea‘Ba44s?lisra and Democracy are not altogether settled yiff, nor will they be until the last of the' usurper ire ousted. The election which denied the Radical Charleston delegation seats in the Legislature and on whioh the Hon. M. P. O’Connor bases his protest is the satjfe that gives to the present Sheriff, Clerk fit Court, Coroner and others,their positions. I capno); ascertain definitely wh#t action will be taken ip the matter, but certainly, as affaire stand, the pres ent Radical officials of tbe county baye no legal claim to their position*. As to the election itself, take the solid white or Democratic vote away and the rest would remain a mockery and a farce did it ppt have a tragical end. At the coun typreinflts not only did they keep the Democratic votero atyay and permit wo men and half grown boys t° y°te fty® Radical ticket, but in some places the boxes were stuffed until want of room pt evented the entrance of ballots. The Radicals well understand and always fotlcv “JifO good jqW rule, the simple plan, Tbat they snoiili who have the power, Ami they Bhould keep ifce Pftu-” The matter should certainly bo taken into consideration in order that we may get rid of the superfluous vermin as soon as possible. The Municipal Cnmpninn. the drenching rain and boisterous weaihp? on last_ Wednes day evening a large number vf pekoes assembled at the various ward meetings, pp>suant to the call of the Chairman of the jCoßoty Executive Committee. The motto at every Btepting yas “No Radi cals need apply” and theft* i$ .every rea son why tbi* should be carried Gift to the letter. These irrepressible vampires ! have no way to live except by politics and tbev will turn anything to get posi tion. The Democrats are determined to wipe out every thing in the shape of Radicalism which now exists in Charles ton. The city, like the State, Has suffer ed much from the profligacy of i’s rulers and uotbipg short of an entire Demo cratic admiuistraiioe can be considered a reform. The general tone of the meetings was tp this effect, and the spirit manifested is imitative of success. The main thing neoAyd, however, is that every Democrat will gi.*o bjg full support to the nominees of the Lonvwiiiiou. If the Democrats work together it is probable that ijie Radicals will not attempt to put a ticket in the field, but the first sign of discord will bring tb® old enemy to the front The Democrats wannot afford to quarrel among themselves now; they hare everything to gain or everything to I lose. No compromise with any wing of the Radical party, however favorable auch compromise may appear, .can be •ousidared as aught else than a crushing blow to the patriotic movement now on foot. “United w Stand, divided we fall,” should be inscribed jjpon every Democratic banner; and the service of every teas and honest citizen is required to form a solid phalanx which alone can prove itself inyinpibie tp attacks of the enemy. Auatker Stag Hum. “Over the mountain the wild stag browses the mountain herbage alone, At morn he browse*, at noon he sickens. at eve he maketh moan." A large concourse of persons were again at tin> rape course yesterday after noon, for the purpose pf witnessing the second stag chase of the wesson. Owing to the first unsuccessful attempt, very little enthusiasm was manifested By the spectator* who, taking the ooeasion into consideration, displayed a degree of an gelio meekness daring the entire per formance, which lasted about tea min utes. About half-past four o’clock a short-homed stag was driven from its eage into the middle of the course, and a little later the hounds were unlashed. Daring the greater portion of the nhase the stag and hounds remained hid amid the tall weeds, but finally the stag jumped the fence leading to the track, and for a short space the animal, fol lowed olosely by a single hound, could be seen. He was soon overtaken and caught by the dog, which was quickly whipped off, and thus eedeth the second lesson. Jade* Nnrthrop. Judge L. C. Northop, the newly ap pointed United States District Attorney, is now in the city. He has been ad mitted to practice in the United States Court, and was presented with his com mission. It is not too muoh to say of Judge Northop that he has the esteem and confidence of all who are acquainted with Jiim. As it has been said that a man may be in the world aDd not of the world, so may be summed up Judge North rop’s career with the Republican party of this State. Although still a young man, he possesses a versatile ability. Under bis editorial management the Union-Herald, a Republican paper pub lished in Columbia, saw its palmiest days. So as a public speaker he dis plays the eloquence aud flow of language whioh characterizes the orator, and his qualifications for the bench have found expression among those who have had every means of judging. District-Attor ney Northrop’s debut in Charleston meets with a gracious welcome. Cane of Poisoning. Miss Graham, daughter of the late Judge Graham, and a servant girl of her family, died from the effects of poison, in this city, yesterday, while the rest of the family are lying dangerously ill. It seems that a lunch sent to the family while traveling on the train contained salt which got mixed with arsenic. This is the rumor, but scarcely probable. The matter is now undergoing investigation, and as the truth cau be ascer tained I will write the details. Miss Graham was about eighteen years of age, highly accomplished and generally beloved. Virginius. ONE DOLLAR AT INTEREST. Wliat a Highly Factor it is Compounded a Six Per Cent. [New York Mercantile eJournat.\ However historians may differ on other points, all concur in crediting Ferdinand and Isabella with the charac ter of intelligent aud efficient sovereigns. When under their auspices Columbus discovered America in 1492, economists would have deemed it wise if they had set apart one of the many gold mines which then came into their possession, to be worked forever in the interest of the crown, its products to be applied as a sinking fund towards the reduction or the liquidation of the national debt, un til such debt should be paid. For convenience of illustration, we will imagine that such an edict was passed, and as an administrative meas ure, one hundred men were detailed to work the mine, with the provision that all vacancies occurring by death or otherwise should be immediately filled. On arrival at the mines the colonists found (if they did not know it before) that gold would neither shelter, feed nor clothe them, tnd they wisely detailed one-half the number to supply tbe per sonal needs of the colony, while the other half worked at miuit’g. A few years experience showed that the aver age product was an ounce of gold every ten days for each miner, which on a val uation of 820 was $2 per day. As that sum was in equity and by agreement divisable with the non-mining party, it resulted that the earnings all around were 81 per day, which allowing 300 working days to'the year, would be 8300 per annun for each, while the products of the mine steadily piled up in tbe Government Repositories. But while the colonists were quietly and efficiently fulfilling their mission a little bill of a dollar was presented at Madrid, and as there was no “moneys nqt otherwise appropriated’’ at the com mand of tfie Treasury the officials gave bond for the sarpp, bearing interest at Q per cent, per annum, payable when the gold above specified should be disposed of, The Government finally fixed upon the year 1879 as a good time to sell, rightly conjecturing that by the demonetization of silver aud the prospective enormous requirements of the United States for gold to effect their exchanges, the demand would be unprecedented aud the price high. By calculation they found that the fifty miners had each day delivered 8100 worth of metal which, estimating 300 working days to each year, would be 830,000 per annum, resulting for the 387 years in the magnificent accumulation of #ti,6;o ,000. “But yourExeellency for getp,” said' Don Benseroso to tbe Treas urer General, “that there is a lien on the fund of sl, the interest being added at the end of each year at 6 per cent.” The pjagnifipos laughed heartily at the suggestion, and jokingly asked the Grand Scribe to inform them (that is, if the paltry sum were not too insig nificant to figure ou) what that little matter would amount to. But they were mucß sjirprisfiß aqR annoyed when that functionary, after careful calculation, report 4 that the claim of this bond holder on tbe Government would in 1879 amount to the incomprehensible sum of 86,240,000,000 (six thousand two hundred and forty millions of dollars.) The Council at first accused the sedate functionary of joking, but his solemn an# jespmJtpbl? visage precluded that theory. I'heij'a ppspieiop of insanity took possession of the dffieial mind, but cyphering ppnfjrjped the statement,' “Garramba 1” growled (he president, “that 81 has earned 147.468 times more than those fifty workingmen—or rather those hundred workingmen, for it has taken one outside man all the time to support *he one > n tlie “ip 6 - U r ' in other words, it woulc! r^R""' 0 13,746,- (*QO at $1 per day each, from the date oi the bond, to pay principal and accrued interest, at 6 per cent., oil 81. for BaV years.” The old philologists teach that usury means “something that bites.” It is a constructor that crushes and then swal lows. BARBU'S K 01.14 How a Sewing Machine I.unatie Squanders an Easy Eorlune. fflw York Sun ] Mr. Emerson Baker, of Boston, made a fortune with the Grover & Baker sewing machines, and is now living at Wellesley, Mass., teu milt* from Pos ton, spending his money after hie own peculiar fashion. He has an estate en closed, 820 acres. A scenic artist has decorated the outside and inside of his immense stable with huge and extraor dinary pictures. He has a tall tower, whose successive floors constitute a sort of eoajbjned museum, zoological cabi net, and KlndergfciiePj .containing a queerly-jumbled collection of chromos, curiosities, surgical instruments, doll babies, mediaeval armor and stuffed ducks. Scattered all through his grounds are grotesque edifices all gaudily painted. He has there some pf the pavillions from the Centennial grounds, fje has a •cha pel. The interion is decorated xyith mottoes of an instructive charaeter. The presiding deity is a big bronze Buddha, cross legged aud ugly. At one corner of the edifice is a half-buried piece of ordnance w th a tin sign bear er- one of Mr. Baker’s most novel and striking puns, “One of the canons of the church?” And he is much given to puns.

Here and there on the grounds may be seen the m&sa oleums of departed hogs of extra ordinary si*e or merit, the stuffed skins erected on costly pedestals, and thus forming their own monuments. Mr. Baker has excavated an artificial lake, and placed upon it a queer steamboat, which travels with equal facility upon water and land. Se has tunneled the ledges for fully a quarter of a mile, forming a subterranean labyrinth that ends in bear pit. The entrance tothe grotto is a firestone arch that 4£ce formed the postal of a presbytenan church partially destroyed in the second great Boston fire of 1873. The sacred stones are guarded by two wooden fig? ures, formerly in the employ of some tobacconist. Wandering along the shores of the lake, the visitor encounters stuff ed mules set up among the shrubbery ; a monument tffirty f&t tigk “ ade en tirely of e&pty champagne Bottles, and itself constituting a gigantic bottle; grotesque wooden effigies of men and animals; stuffed alligators, as if crawl ing up from the water ; a cottage shin gled with old spades andshovels; a ceme tery, containing all that was mortal of de ceased pets, bears, swans, monkeys, dogs, duckß, iawM, CBts, cows, canary birds and pigs each having been accorded funeral honors. Here *nd there tin signs are suspended on trees or tacked against lodges for no other apjwirant purpose than to eopyey some of the choicest puna of the eceeiftnc proprie tor. There are log houses built of a thousand worn-out railroad sleepers, piles of worn out locomotive smoke stacks; a monument of defaced stone columns from the Boston post office, in- jnred in the fire; a boat-house, pictori ally adorned outside; doll’s play houses, crockery monstrosities, rusty cannon, wooden snakes in tbe grass, and thoas ands of other objects appropriate to museums or junk shops, but not usually found 8S features of landscape garden ing. Whenever Mr. Baker comes across anything extravagant, odd or nonde script, from a three-legged bear to a queer-shaped clam shelf, he forthwith purchases it, and adds it to the bizarre attraction of Ridge Hill Farm. If yon grasp a brass knob you are pretty sure to receive an electric shock. If you attempt to whistle through a speaking tube, iu order to gain admis sion to this building or that, as di rected by a printed notice, you are rea sonably certain of blowing yourself white with flour. If you step on an ap parently solid floor, it is very likely to tilt and let you dowu, with the uncom fortable feeling of tumbling from some where into nowhere. If you are tired aud seat yourself upon one of the garden stools, the chances are that it will sink with your weight, leaving yon on the grass, while a painted wooden devil springs up out of the ground directly in front of you, and grins at your discom fiture. Every day, except Sunday, his grounds are thronged with carious visit ors. Each visitor is obliged to register his name and pay a small fee for attend ance. He is warned to keep away from the dwelling house of the proprietor and from the graperies and hot-houses, but is at liberty to enjoy all other parts of the establishment. Strangers were for merly admitted to the hot-houses, but there were thieves among them who stole fruit, aud Mr. Baker caused to be printed and prominently displayed the following characteristic notice: “ Seven of those who, by special per mission, were allowed to pass through the grapery on August 25, were reported as having stolen Hamburg grapes. The lady in black, about fifty years of age, who divided her spoils just outside, did not give her son a very moral maternal lesson. Those who used the Norino Tower as a spittoon on August 29 must remember that those who expecto rate in private houses cannot expeet-to rate as gentlemen.” He has gathered together Senators and Governors, Congressmen and col lege presidents, to join him in raising a monument to the memory of a hog. He has entertained two or three hundred ministers of the Gospel, and set them all acting like so many harlequins.— When the Charleston and Savannah military companies came North to attend the Bunker Hill centennial, Mr. Baker captured them, carried them off to his place at Wellesley, and fastened them for a fortnight in the interests of reconciliation. He has organized tremendous pillow fights among his guests. He has collected half of the prominent men in Massachusetts to celebrate the birthday of a heifer calf or to attend the funeral of a black bear. On these festal occasions his wretched dependents are forced to rig themselves up fantastically, and perform all sorts of grotesque mummery. His caverns and grottoes are inhabited by retainers dressed as demons, serving claret punch. The bears are petticoated and the mon key painted blue. Probably no other man ever dreamed of making a cow yield milk punch. Mr. Baker accomplished the miracle by attaching to the cow’s udder a fifth teat, made of rubber. A small tube, painted to correspond with the color of the beast, ran down her hind leg and thence across the floor and into another room, where the beverage was pumped in as fast as needed. Hun dreds of visitors draDk the milk punch, and wondered at the marvel. THE FEVER AT FERNANDINA. Causes That Have I.eil to It—A Light Mors t alii J—Eleven Hundred Cases to Date, [Atlanta Constitution.\ Yesterday morning Col. J. N. Whit ner, brother of Col. J. C. Whitner, of our city, arrived here from Florida. He left Fernandina some days ago, but was in that fated city during the fury of the scourge. A reporter of the Constitution called upon him at tbe Markham House, and had a conversation with him con cerning the state of affairs in Fernandi na. The city has a population of between 1,600 and 2,000 persons, probably the larger portion being colored persons. Many of the latter earn their livlihood by the industries of the place and by labor upon the wharves in stevedore gangs, loading and unloading vessels, of which a large number are engaged in foreign trade to and from that port. JReretoj'ore R’ernaußina fieep a re markably healthy pity, apd @ipcp its foundation has never been visited by a yellow fever spoqrge. The causes for this fatal epidemic may be properly traced to the uncleanly condition of the southwestern portion of the city. Where tho disease first appeared the neighbor hoods were in so filthy a condition as to sustain a very putrid atmospere, most inyiting (p (fip disease. 'fihjs potfßition was due to tne fact that the present mu nicipal authorities, when they assumed the care of the city, found its treasury impoverished, and debt accumulated to a heavy amount, and in their desire to economize in city expenditures the drain age of the city and sanitary regulations generally were neglected. The usual result of such foolish, if not criminal, negligence jn tfie naqjp of eeopomy, fol lowed, and the city’s quarters' beoamo the harbors of this maligDtjnt plague. Eleven hundred cases have been under treatment since the disease made its appearance, whioh number is fully two thirds of the population subject to its attacks. A number of citizens left the city upon the intimation aud assurance that, (Le sickness was yellow fever, but many who would have escaped were de layer py u controversy fietwefß t.hp two leading ptiysioiiink otter the true charac ter of the disease. One of them con tended that it was yellow fever, while the other stoutly denied it, and it was not until Dr. McFarland, the eminent physician from Savannah, exhumed the body of a deceased person and made an autopsy, by of which it was fully established as a ease ol yellow fever, that the true condition of affairs was re alized. The disease made rapid pro gress, but was singularly mild in effects though protracted in its operations np on the systems of those attacked. Out of the 1,100 cases only about 50 deaths have been repotted, which is a fatality of less than five per Per?*, of the puffiber seized with the sickness. This is a very small mortality, and shows that the plague has been general, but not so virulent as was at first supposed. Nearly all the white people in the city subject to attack have already been prostrated, and the material upon which the disease can feed in that direction is nearly ex hausted The ravages ol the plagqe are now rapidly taking in the colored people, who of late years seem to have lost their immunity from this scourge. Among them it finds victims ill prepared to fight the dread monster, and as a conse quence there is reason to fear a greater mortality among them. Trade is sus pended anR f * lO negroes are poor, and in many eases paupers, to tbe extent that even the barest necessities of life they have not. When the scourge first ap peared, Col. Whitcer says the authori ties aud people were pretty well pre pared to combat it, but now there is immediate need for pecuniary assist ance and supplies, principally to relieve, in the name of pure humanity, the large number of destitute and suffering col ored people. There is a charge made by some, though Col. Whitner thinks it an uncharitable one, that an officer, since deceased we believe, distributed sup plies to colored people not entitled to them anil not resident in the oity, for political purposes. It is very certain that any relief to be sent to Fernandina is needed right now, and it is hoped that our people will not hesitate to give a little from their purses to relieve the suffering and keep starvation from the doors of those to whom disease has brought not alone its own horrors. We are sure the cry for help will not go un heeded ber9. YELLOW FEVER. Tlie Fernandina Sick Improving—Deetltate Condition of the People. Jacksonville, October 10.—The sit uation at Fernandina as far as the sick are concerned, is encouraging. No dan gerous cases are now in hand and no qew cases reported to-day. Two deaths have occurred there since the last re port—one a colored woman and ene, Dr. Wellford, a volunteer physician. Pro visions are still badly needed there, as there is no business going on and ra tions have to be issued to an immense number, whose means of guppoyt are cut off by the suspension of mflls and other industries. Singular Presentment. [florae Courier.] Col. Eli Shorter, the father of the late associate editor of the Courier, informed Messrs. Howell and Dwinell, who accom panied his son’s remains to Montgomery, Ala., that on the night of the death of his son here in Rome, his wife awoke him, asking the time of night, saying: “Willie is dead; I feel that Willie is dead.” He looked and found it 1:15 by his time. Onr young friend died at 1:10 by the time here. Mrs. Shorter knew of her son’s illness, bnt nevertheless, it is very strange that the impression should have been vivid enough just at the moment of his departure to causa her to arouse her husband in order to get the time of night. A Griffin man offered to supply a Ma -0 in hotel with a car load of possums. THE SNOWY snitl'BS. Reports of Our Cottou Crop—The Plant In Georgia, Florida, North Carolina and Ylr fftnla— Damnglnc FlTects of September’s Storms—The New Growth, the Worm and the Kust. Galveston, October 9, —The Cotton Exchange crop report is as follows : The character of the weather since Sep tember Ist has been favorable in 54 counties and nnfavorable ia 7. The ef fect of the weather has been good in 54 oonnties, bad in 7. There has be?n no additional damage to the crop by worms since the last report. Picking is pro gressing rapidly. Half a crop has al ready been picked. The yield, compar ed with last year, points to a decrease of at least 25 per cent. Georgia. Savansah, October 9.—The following is the crop report for September : In Georgia ninety-three replies from fifty three counties report that in the early part of the month the weather was dry and warm, the balance rainy, with a heavy wind storm for three days (the 18h, 19th and 20th nit.) in the South western portion of the State. The wet season caused, in so'-e sections, anew giowth, but it is too late for auy benefit to be derived therefrom. Little or no damage from worms is reported, but rain and wind injured the quality, and portions of the cotton open in the fields have beefl beaten out and destroyed. The principal complaint seems to be from rust. This is very general over the State. Picking progressed rapidly up to the middle of the month, but since than but little progress has been made. All the replies indicate that we must expect a less yield than last year. In some sections the plant is in no condition to make any more, while in others it is growing well and making every day. On such crops so much de pends upon the immediate season that is ahead of us and the time that a kill ing frost first appears, that no correct, or even an approximate, per centage of decrease as compared with last year can be given in this report. Florida. Twenty-five replies from thirteen counties. The first part of the month was dry and favorable, the past fifteen days incessant rains prevailed, accom panied by high winds, preventing the gathering of the crop. Much has beeu beaten out and destroyed, and the qual ity of that open and remaining in the fields much injured. The rainy season has had the effect of caus ing the plant to take a second growth and throw off fruit, to bring forward the worm and to in crease the nest. A month ago there was a fine prospect in this State, and a much larger yield than last yesr was looked for. The damage now from worms, rust and storms is estimated at 15 to 20 per cent. Farmers had to make good pro gress in picking up to the date at which the worms commenced. During the wet weather the work suspended and much of the cotton open in the fields during this bad spell has been lost. It is diffi cult at this time to estimate either the yield or how the yield of this crop will compare with the last. The seasons, up to the middle of September, were more favorable than the last, and with a larger acreage, there was a prospect of gathering a larger crop than the last. It is fair to estimate that, with good weather the balance of the season, the yield of this State will not fall below that of last year. Virginia and North Carolina. Nobfolk, October 9.—The Cotton Ex change report of the condition of the cotton orop is based on thirty replies from eighteen counties in North Caro lina and Virginia. All the replies re port the weather during September very rainy and stormy, to the injury of the plant. Considerable damage is reported owing to the recent storms ; some from rust and rot, but very little injury, if any, from worms. The progress of pick ing has been much retarded, being from ten to twelve days behind last year, owing to recent bad weather. The yield this year will be, on an average, about 175 to 200 pounds of lint cotton to the acre. As compared with last year, the yield is considered by a few to be about the same or perhaps a little better, while the majority of replies report a decrease in yield from 25 to 40 per cent. Mississippi. Seventy-seven reports from thirty-one counties, dated from September 27th to October 4th, say that too much rain in generally reported in the early part of September. Pqrjhg the part of the thp Whether has been dry and more favorable to plants. Considerable damage is reported in a large portion of the State from worms, rust and storms, whilst in a few sections no damage has been done. Picking is progressing slowly, and the yield in comparison with last year will fall short about ten per cent. 4rfeanp|iN, Received fill answers from 2ff counties, with an average date of September 30th. Except in a few sections, where there were heavy rains in the early portion of the month, the weather during Septem ber is reported favorable, and in conse quence of effect, good to the plant. There are rnaiy complaints of rust, shedding and worms, but the damage from these causes c|qps Bqt appear to pjgbt pey cent, * Picking is pro gressing rapidly, and the yield compares favorably with last year. IjOuUlanu. New Obleans, October 9. —The Cot ton Exchange reports the following : From 32 parishes have received 62 re plies, with an average date of Septem ber 30th. They report the weather dar ing the past month as universally Unfa vorable from fop fclflob eausing the plant tb shed its bolls. Damage is reported from storms, rust and rot, and, in some parishes from worms. The estimated injury is about 31 per cent. Picking is progressing finely, and the yield, as compared with last year, is reported to be at least 25 per gei^. Mouth Carolina, Charleston, October 9. - The Septem ber report of the Charleston Exchange is based upon eighty-three replies from thirty counties. The weather is report ed most of the month as being wet and stormy. The effect upon the plant was to retard the maturing of the top crop whprp if but tepn destroyed bV pre vious drouth. There has been little or no damage by worms in upland cotton, but rust, rot and storms have injured the crop very seriously, both in quantity and quality, beating out cotton that was open, and damaging the staple. Picking is reported as making a good progress by thirty, who report that from a quarter to half of the crop is gathered, and fery backward by fifty.one, wet weather interfering. The estimates of yield vary from 1(X) to 250 pounds lint per acre, the average being 156 pounds. Nine report the yield as more than last year, and seventy-four less from five to fifty per cent., the average of the State being thirteen per cent, below last year. ■FIIE COTTON CHOP. Tennewuee anil North Alabama— Mare En couraiclnff Reports from These suites, Nashville, October 10.—Of thirty re plies from the middle of Tennessee to Nashville Department Cotton Exchange, twenty-six report very favorable effect of weather npon the cotton and bolls opening finely. Only five report dam age by worms and three by rust. Eigh teen report picking slowly and eleven progressing finely; twenty-tyirep report from si* to seven hundred pounds per acre of seed cotton and thirteen from four to six hundred. Nineteen report better yield than last year, seveu a third more and four a double yield of last year. Of twenty-two replies from , North Alabama, Seventeen report unfavorable effect of too much rain retarding opening of bells and five report favorable, 10 report no damage and 12 serious damage by rust. Nineteen report picking slowly m con sequence of a backward season, 16 re port from three to five hundred pounds seed cotton per acre, and six from five to six hundred pounds. Nine report yield not so good as last year. Seven about the same and sir'from 15 to 25 per cent, more than last year. Mobile, October 10.—The following is the Mobile Cotton Exohange report for September: Alabama. From 41 counties, 94 letters have been received. The weather foy September is reported as haying been favorable during the first half oi the month, bat wet and stormy during the last* half, causing shedding, rotting of bolls, damage to quality and stimulating a second growth. The damage from these causes is vari ously estimated; in 20 counties no per centage is given, in 21 the loss is about 16 per cent. Picking has progressed slowly on aooonnt of inclement weather; some counties, however, report fair pro gress. The yield per acre will average about 350 pounds of seed cotton. The yield, compared with last year, is esti mated, in 28 upland counties, at 15 per cent, less, and in 13 prairies or cotton land counties at 5 per cent. more. Jlluisaippi. From 18 counties 49 letters has been received. The weather during Septem ber has been the same as ip Alabama and has produced the same effects. The damage being about 16 per oent. on the average. Pinking has progressed very slowly on account of wet, stormy weather. The yield, per aore, is esti mated at 400 pounds seed cotton. In 16 counties the average yield, as compared with last year, is estimated at 17 per cent. less. In one (Ttawamba) at 15 per cent, more, and in one (Tishomingo) at the same. Tennessee. Memphis, October 10.— The crop re port for September of the Memphis Cotton Exchange was made from 47 re ports from West Tennessee, 51 from North Missifsippi and 54 from Arkansas north of the Arkrnsas river, of the aver age date of Ootober let. The majority report is unfavorable weather, owing to rains keeping the crop growing and retarding maturity. The average dam age by worms, rust and rot is 6 per cent. average of the general pick-ing on September 23d. The possible damage damage by frost is estimated at eight per cent, greater than last year. The reports generally indicate but little or no top crop, wet weather causing it to shed. There is much complaiut of excessive grass and weeds in crops seriously interfering with picking and promising much trashy cot ton, after a killing frost. The crop is generally later than usual in maturing, the labor morale is good. The corn orop is not as good as last year. The condition of the hay crop is good, the prospective increase on acreage of wheat, rye and grasses is twelve and one-third per cent. S. R. Baldwin writes : “After trying Soothing Remedies without avail and physicians without relief, I gave Teethi na (Teething Powders), and it acted like magic. I occasionally give a powder to keep my child’s gums softened.” VEGETINE Purifies tbe Blood, Renovates and Invigorates the Whole System.
