Daring Burglary.
One of the boldest robberies we have
ever recorded took place in Elberton on
Monday night last, Mr. Jonas Selig, one
of our most energetic and popular mer
chants, being the victim. The burglars
—for wo are satisfied there was more
than one engaged in the affair—bored
a hole through the front door of the
store, went through and removed the
catch of the lock and opened the door.
Then they went through the show-case
containing jewelry, pistols, &c., com
pletely emptying the case; then a fine
dress coat and a valuable overcoat were
successfully fkckled, and perhaps an um
brella or two, while a couple of hat
boxes open on the counter bore evidence
of the fact that that part of life’s prime
necessities had not been overlooked. An
attempt was made at the iron safe, but
the resistance was too. great for the ef
forts of burly backwoods burglars, and
it was abandoned without other result
than a scratch or two to disfigure the
polished surface of the defiant door.
The alarm till was unscrewed from the
counter, carried across the street to the
courthouse, and, with the assistance af
forded by a pine torch, broken open and
found provokingly empty. The money
drawer smiled so pleasantly at the rude
robbers that (hey contemptously passed
it by, though the change it contained
woud have made a pleasant addititionto
their booty.
Mr. Gairdner, who sleeps over his
store, adjoining the one broken into,
was awakened about 1 o’clock by noises
which he imagined proceeded from his
store. He thereupon went below, but
finding everything apparently all right
returned to Iris room without having any
suspicions of the work that must have
been going on at the time.
No clue has yet been obtained to the'
parties to this well planned robbery, but
it is conjectured that the job was put up
by the same gang that has been operat
ing in the town for a year or two.
Mr. Selig estimates his loss at S2OO,
and offers a reward of $25 for t,o ap
prehension of the thief, which amount
will probably be largely increased.
A Bolter.
Wo are in receipt of a note from our
friend W. R. Edwards, in which he says:
“Asa rSfttegate -from -tl}Q 192d district, in
my Humble opinion L. L. Clark had
the majority on tho eighth ballot in the
convention Saturday, and as I and the
192d district do not consider that we
arc bound to support tied-out horses,
I, for one of the delegates, must say to
the people that there was no fairness
in the nomination in my humble opinion
As L. -L. Clark was the nominee, I am
in favor of his name coming before the
people.”
We make sorno remarks elsewhere that
will suit this case. We decline making
the announcement at the close of his
note unless it is accompanied by the
usual fee.

their appearance at Mr. D. M. Carlton’s,

Local Pot-Pourri.
The amount of brain work necessary
to accomplish a real live local in these
times is inconceivable. With thoughts
made lively by the drought croakers we
were fully alive to the coming local on
the destruction of crops by the dry, hot
weather; but the cool, refreshing rain
of Monday night and Tuesday morning
knocked the spots out of that sensation.
A burglary case was reported to us on
Saturday morning—being an imaginary
attempt to break open the store of those
handsome young gentlemen, Messrs. T.
M. Swift & Co.—but the proof was con
sidered too transparent to cloak the
grand jury with, and the suspected burg
lar was turned loose for more profitable
fields, and save the knife cuts on the
comely persons of Messrs. I. G. and J.
K. Swift, we have nothing concerning
that affair to record. The full account
given of the political bubble of last
Saturday by the accomplished secretaries
of that body leaves no loop hole to
squeeze a local through that subject. A
stray shot or two at a poor way faring
mau is not a proper subject for comment,
as we ‘don’t like reports coming from
pistols any way. It cannot be called a
very great crime to filch a few chickens
when we consider the time and circum
stances, and even if we did say some
thing about the matter, it might not be
palatable to our next-door neighbor, the
tinner. The arrival of Prof. Cartmell,
an accomplished musician, who, in re
sponse to solicitations from us—made
by request—came here to tune pianos,
might have made a diminutive loca 1 , but
the man didn’t actually get enough to
do to feed his horse, and we became dis
gusted with that matter. The singing
master has come and gone, but if his
class of thirty-six didn’t develop enough
lung power to make their praises heard,
we will not do it gratis ; though we be
lieve they are all satisfied with the ex
pense. We have recorded the fact that
work would commence at a fixed time on
the new church, and until that time
comes we can’t with propriety say any
thing else on that subject—only hoping
that wo may soon be able to say that that
sacred edifice together with the new old
Presbyterian church are accomplished
facts. ‘The district meeting is a matter
of the future, and we can do no more
than wish that great,religious prosperity
may be the result, and that steps will be
taken by that august body to send a
hundred and fifty pupils to the Andrew
Male High School, so that the attend
ance may be respectably proportioned
to the name. As to the real burglary
that took place yesterday morning we
had to be provokingly brief in describing
it, for fear it might be thought we gloated
over the occurrence because it afforded
one sensation for the paper, and decency
denied us a few galring head lines for
that one little item All this makes us
exclaim with the poet:
“We never had a bright loquelle
To cheer us with its truth or lie,
But when we come to ponder well
Were almost sure to lay it by.”
That Concert.
Though much was said, and fitly, too,
Mr. Editor, in your last issue, concern
ing the excellent musical entertainment
given by Mrs. T. J. Hester, and her music
class, at the termination of Mrs. Capers’
interesting exhibition, I trust you and
your readers will pardon the imposition
of my expression on the closing scene of
the concert.
’Twas a happy thought that prompt
ed the representation of those nations
in tho character of the graceful and
beautiful ladies, attired in splendidly
adapted costumes, with their respective
flags, on this occasion, and as America,
France, Germany, Scotland and Switz
erland took their positions on the stage
after having sang their national airs in
the sweetest manner possible, the sight
was extremely pleasing.
While the audience gazed in admira
tion upon the beauty of the scene, and
was in that happy, jolly mood that only
music can inspire, the flag of the Con
federacy was placed upon the stage, fol
lowed by one of Elbert’s noblest and
fairest daughters, who was to repeat
that heart-thriiling, immortal poem ‘‘The
Conquered Banner.” At the sight of
that dear, sacred flag, whose folds once
wafted o’er the bravest of the brave, and
was the pride of every Southron, now
torn and tattered, the mirthful feelings
of the assemblage suddenly took a rev
erential caste, and many a tear glistened
in the eyes of scarred and battle worn
veterans who had fought and bled un
der its stars and bars. The rendition
of the poem by the lady who was attired
in immaculate white, and who appear
ed a worthy picture for its guardian an
gel, we considered the crowning event
of the evening, and as the words fell
with such touching pathos from her sil
very-toned lips, an emotion inexpressi
ble possessed ever auditor. We have
been often dazzled by the blaze of sun
like beauty; but till now, as she inja befit
ting style spoke so sweetly and tenderly
of our honored flag, never knew perfect
ed loveliness—all the harmonies of form,
of feature, and of soul, displayed in one
bright creature. “To gild refined gold,
te paint the lily, to throw a perfume on
the violet, to smooth the ice, or add an
other hue to the rainbow, or with taper
light to seek the beauteous eye of heav
en to garnish, is wasteful and ridicu
lous excess,” so in portraying the bean
ty and pathos of the representation of
“The Lost Cause.” Suffice it to remark
that the concert was a grand success,
and that too many repetitions of the de
lightful evening cannot be had.

EEMALE SLAVES.
There is a great number of Circassian
jariclies (female slates) for sale in Con
stantinople. Young girls of from twelve
to sixteen [years of age, not possessed
of any peculiar personal beauty or ac
complishment, sell for from £BO to
£l5O. Some of very great beauty and
with fine musical voices, and Who can
play upon a musical instrument sell
from £I,OOO even to £2,000. Young
girls of from six, eight or ten years of
age are purchased at low prices, and
others being brought up to habits of
cleanliness and industry, sell for high
sums. This traffic is carried on by
some of the highest ladies (khanums)
of the capital, to whom the fairs serve
as “pin money” in the absance of other
resources. Thus far the condition of
the child of the Circassian immi
grant is certainly improved. It has
been taught to sew, to embroider, to
serve as a lady’s maid, sometimes to
read and write, to sing and to play upon
a musical instrument. From being a
pagan, she has also been taught tho
principles of the Islam faith ; to say her
prayers, and to keep the fast of Roma
zan. Her next remove may be to the
harem of a young boy, or of an old pa
sha. Neither can legally claim to use
her as a concubino without her entire
consent. This she may freely reject,
if sliechooses, and it is well for her if she
does so decide, if either the boy or the
pasha has a wife taken from amongst
any of the better families. To acqui
esce, even under the strongest prom
ises of protection on the part of her mas
ter, will expose her to the jealousy
of all her companions of the same kind ;
and to the hatred of her mistress. Too
often poison then terminates the career
of the fair and frail Circassian slave,
and no one is disposed to shed even a
tear upon her untimely grave. Friend
less, she is soon lost to the world, and
even he who has been tho cause of her
cruel death only remembers her as he
would a fine horse carried off by some
ordinary malady. Such must be the
fate of a large number of female Cir
cassian slaves in Staumboul, and instan
ces could be mentioned where such
facts -jhave transpired beyond the pre
cincts of ,the harem.

bution will be conducted with an impartiality
that cannot and will not be disputed.

all the leading business men of our city, at a
recent meeting, unanimously adopted the fol
lowing endorsement:
“Knowing the several persons composing the
‘Kansas Land and Immigration Association’ we
