the order of exercises:

At the conclusion of these exercises nil present re
paired to the adjoining grove in the Capitol grounds,
where the merry children engaged in various kinds of
plays, the ‘young folks’ in groups or paired off, the
old folks seated beneath the trees, and the preparation
for dinner, made a sceue of real happiness which
lives green Id the memory iu after years. It was •
moving panorama but, to the looker on, there was little
change of scene until the dinner hour.
About I o’clock the children were summoned to a
bountiful feast spread beneath the beautiful elms,
which they disposed of rapidly and returned to their
plays. The old folks enjoyed their dinner more leisure
ly, and after it was over, the men especially, began to
lose interest and plead business to get away. But the
■tin wcut down before the children played enough.

THE Pli'Tl'RB BONAKCR.
By James McArthur.
Last week to town came Sam Debrake
In torture from the vile tooth ache
In search of dentist to give ease;
When In ! in joy his friend he sees,
Old Simon Joker who soon learned
The bumpkin's case, ami quickly turned
Poor Sambo Sam to Artist Brown
The best Photographer in town;
And with sly wink, told Brown the case,
Who quickly “sat” Sam with bis face,
Huge woolly crown, thick lips, dark skin,
To look the charm-tube straight within;
“For gazm’ dar," said learned Simon
“You can’t feel pain, or ever die, man
Brows chuckling with the joke, took out
The cunning image whose flat snout
Looked flatter still; then touched and ready
Brown bawled in voice hoarse, grim and steady,
“O toothache vile that plagues this man,
I now command you, as I can,
Forsake the man and come to me
And but a lifeless picture be',’’
Then with a clap of bauds. Brown showed
Tlie photogragli which grimly glowed
Wi'.li that peculiar ugliness
W bicli only sods of Liam can bless!
The darkey gazed lu wonder wild
And tried to smile — perhaps he smiled;
And Simon giandly did proclaim,
Great Brows, the tooth-ach* Doctor’s fame,
“And aint dat toof ob yourn quite cured ?'*
And Sam felt well, an l well assured
No p&ngsof molar e’er again,
Should rack .his “continent" with pain.
And thereupon Sam drew his purse
Aod swift to Brown he did disburse
The magic dollar for the charm
Which tooth doth save and pain disarm
And carried off the wondrous picture.
O’er pangs and i'ls a glorious victor !

O.come to Brown (uamed “W.T.’’)

And you’ll get charming pictures, all,

McComb’s Hotel, on Tuesday night, 19th

a member of that gallant company, the
Baldwin Blues, and went into the Con-
federate service at the first call for troops
and remained until the surrender. Since
the war he was clerk at the Milledgeville
Hotel. He was a quiet, unobtrusive, kind-
hearted man. He was buried with mas
sonic and military honors.
Mr. Lawler was a native of Virginia,
but had been a resident of this city for
twenty-five years past.

mhabitants of the city. It i s gauling on
the honest producer to be subjected to

ty are unsupplied with meats,

almost a nullity, and ought to be quite .

from the north, south, east and west with

any where near the centre of the city,
where the market clerk stays, the pig and
tWlT ailfl no taxes paid to
the clerk; but just behind this first pro
ducer comes the sacond with his pig and
bunb, but all are supplied and he can't
dispose of his until he reaches the centre
of the city, and here the market clerk
nabs him and demands twenty-five cents
a P nviIe ?e of being allowed
to sell the pig or lamb which he has raised
by days of toil and trouble; if he refuses
he is taken up, tried and punished as s
criminal. How is this for Southern City
Fathers and a Republican government ?
lhe pretense for this ordinance is that
it prevents tlie larceny of this cloven-
footed family; but it has been in existence
from time immemorial, with the exception
of short intervals, and has never caught
a single thief yet and larcenies are as fre
quent as ever. And why do we have this
class legislation ? why not tax a load of
wood a bushel of corn or potatoes, a
pound of butter, a dozen eggs, chickens,
turkeys, and poultry generally? Are not
all these things subject to be stolen, and
why not require the market clerk to keep
a registry and collect a tax on all such
property ?
Mr. Editor, the policy of all good gov
ernments is to let all articles of food be
just as free from taxation as possible,
and especially should this market tax be
abolished, for it works its hardships on
thousands and benefits only one individs
ual. Let the City Fathers offer a pre-»
mium rather than impose a tax on the
pigs and lambs brought to market.

Penmanship and Art.
Prof. B. B. Euston of Athens (connec
ted with the State University) -will open
a school for the month of July for in
structing a select class in Penmanship
and Book-keeping in our city.
Prof. Euston's mastery over the pen is
wondrous, and his system makes elegant
penmanship attainably by all. He ac
complishes not only penmanship but en
graving by his pen. His portrait of the
late Gen. Howell Cobb is a miracle of
accuracy, truthfulness and skill An en
graving has been made of this fine pen*
portrait which the admirers of the de
ceased statesman can obtain at a very
small price. The original, which wo have
seen, is truly a miracle of skill.
Twenly-Fonrih of Jane.
Col. Miller Grieve formerly of our city,
now connected with the Treasury De.-
partment of Georgia, has consented to
deliver the Masonic Address in our city
on the 24th day of June, 1874.
No one can get up a better address than
Col. Grieve. He possesses rare powers
of intellect, thorough mental training,
full stores of learning, and high ability
as a public speaker. We trust ora - citi
zens will avail themselves of the oppor
tunity of healing Col. Grieve; and we
are sure they will be amply repaid for
their compliance with this suggestion.

Faults of Temper.
Blackwood’s Magazine has the follow
ing critical remarks on a subject which,
however trite, is rarely unreasonable;
Few men have sweet tempers, or hold
such as they possess under invarible
control though there are men who,
without this sweetness of nature, however
much tried, never seem to lose their, self
command. No public man can get on
long who has not his temper well in hand;
but with the same amount of inflammable
particles, men differ very much on the
occasions that set fire to them. Some
people who are all composure when we
might reasonable expect and justly ex
cuse an explosion, will break down into
peevishness or passing frenzy on slight
provocations. \Ve have known men, quite
remarkable for a well-bred serenity, be un
reasonable and childishly testy at some
transient annoyance of a sort they arc not
used to. Highlyjsensitive organizations and
intellects kept on the stretch are always
arritable.—De Quincy, who has no heroes,
says that Wordsworth, with all his phil
osophy, had fits of ill-temper, though
the unexampled sweetness of his wife’s
temper made it impossible to quarrel
with her.
“Nor does the field in which temper
exercises itself make much difference. A
divine defending his favorite views is as
peppery as any layman; while he flusnoe*-

The Ladies.
There are about 200,000 women in the
Granges of the United States. One sin
gulanty of the order all along has been
that where Granges are first organized,
the ladies are disinclined to become mem
bers; but after Granges are started, and
the objects become more fully known,
the applications for admission from the
fair sex increase. So great has been the
increase in the number of applications
from ladies in some localities, that the
meo really become concerned about main
taining the control of their Grange, un
less by sufferance. There is no danger
on this subject, though, for the admission
of ladles hm proved that they are as fully
competent to fill the positions assigned
them as the opposite sex; and in some
Granges they are quite as much interest
ed in the growth and prosperity of the
order as a majority of the men.—Farmer's
Friend.
less consciousness of the spirit that
rouses the glare than the disputant in
secular matters—the distinction between
zeal and temper being more easily drawn
by his opponent or observer than by him
self. How often we read of meetings
between religious or philanthropic leaders,
looked forward to as a great occasion by
their followers, leaving only painful
regrets, through some accidental spark
falling upon the combustible element in
the composition of one or both! The
two great hymn writers and good Chris
tians, Newton and Topladv, met but
once, and that for a few minutes yet
something passed—a trifling jest—which
upset Toplady’s equanimity, and made
his parting words, we are told by the
friendly by standers, not very**aour-
teous.
“There are times when men think they
do well to be angry, and attribute their
display of ill-temper to a holy impulse,
while the observer sees only a common
pet—exposing itself at the most unsuitable
moment—at the failure of their efforts to
attract and impress, perhaps to shine.
The preacher is particularly subject to the
temptation of an angry remonstrance
uttered in this spirit. It must be to
feel yonr passages lost through the
restlessness of school children or the
infectious inattention of the singing
gallery; bnt it seldom answers to allow
the chafed spirit its fling. The parson
may be in a passion without knowing it,
but not without the congregation behig
quite alive to it, and the remembrance of
a scene outliving every other effect of his
discourse."

A writer says: “Three of the finest of
the club houses in London are political—
the ‘Conservative,’ the ‘Charlton’ and the
•Reform. The two first are Conservative
and the last is Liberal. All these count
among their members noblemen, cabinet
ministers, leading statesmen and members
of Parliament. The building and fuin
ishing of the ‘Conservative’ cost upward
of $1,000,000. No expense was spared
upon the dining halls and cuisine of the
club. Five or six hundred persons dine
every day at each of the thr ee I have
named, and the club dinners are said to
surpass those of the first class hotels.
There is ono club of which only naval
officers can be members, and another,
the ‘Oxford and Cambridge,’ where men
in the highest walks of literature assem
ble in large numbers, to the exclusion of
all others. Only graduates of tlie English
universities can become members of
‘University Club,’ while there are num
bers of others composed exclusively of
persons distinguished in art or science,
and others designed specially for lawyers,
physicians and high-class commercial
men. The ‘Garrick’ numbers among its
members some of the best known actors
and dramatic authors of the day. Is this
club there is a gallery containing a very
fine collection of portraits of theatrical
celebrities. Two very fashionable clubs
are the ‘Oriental’ and the ‘Travelers.’
Both require foreign travel as a qualifi
cation for admission. Any one seeking
to gain an entree to the first must have
been in the East Indies, while a journey
of 500 miles in a direct line from Lon
don is deemed sufficient by the ‘Trave
lers’.’
Little Delaware is plucky. Djspite the
denunciations of sentimentalists, sho still
celebrates one day in each year by public
floggings, administered to villains of high
and low degrees. Practically, as once in
North Carolina, it works well. Villains
and rogues publicly whipped are never
more seen in Delaware and she Las few

BAD BLOOD!
•‘A corrnpt tree,’’ saitii the Inspired Volume,
“bringeth forth not goo^fmjt,” nor can corrupt blood
impart health, beauty and good flesh, or spirits. “The
Blood is tlie Life,” and health can only he enjoyed in
its full perfection where the blood is kept in a pore and
uncorrnpted state, heDce tlie necessity of pure blood,
to give health, beauty, buoyant spirits, long life and
happmess.
AN IMPURE CONDITION OF THE BLOOD
mai.ife.-ts itself in different forms of disease*, such as
Tetter, Sait Rheum,Scald-head, Ring-worms, l’imples’
Blotches, Spots, Eruplious, Pustules, Boils, Carbun
cles, Sore Eyes, bough Skin, Scurt, .Scrofulous Sores,
Swellings, Fever Sores, White Swellings, yphiiitic
a flections of tl e skin, Throat and Bones, Ulcer, of the
Liver,.Stoinacii, Kidneys, Lungs and Uterus.
In this condi ion of tilings something is needed at
once to cleanse the blood, and neutralize tbe insidious
poison that
BURNS LIKE K TERRIBLE FIRE
as it c 'urses through the veins, sowing seed, of death
with every pulsation.
Dr Peinnerton’s Compound Extract of Stillingia
(or Queen's Delight) will positively effect this desid
eratum, expelling every trace of disease from the
blood and system, and leaving the skin
SOFT, FAIR AND BEAUTIFUL
For all diseases ot the blood, hirer and kidneys, tbia
Great Vegetable Alterative is without a rival- It will
cure any Cfcronicor Long 8 ending Disease wboee real
or direct cause is BAD BLOOD. Rheumatism, Paine
in Limbs or Bones, Constitution broken down by Mer
curia! or other poisons, are cured by it. For SyphiUis
or Syphilitic Taint there is nothing equal to it. A trial
will prove it. It ia a must useful Spring and Fall Pu
rifier »/ the Blood
Its safety and innocence have been fully tested, eo
that it may be administered to the most tender infant

VINEGAR BITTERS
No Person can take these Bitters
according to directions, and remain loDg
unwell, provided their bones are not de
stroyed by mineral poison or other means,
and vital orcans wasted beyond repair.
Grateful Thousands proclaim Vine
gar Bitters the most wonderful Invigor-
ant that ever sustained the sinking system.
Bilions, Remittent, and Inter
mittent Fevers, which are so prevalent
in the valleys of our great rivers through
out the United States, especially those of
the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois,
Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkansas, lied,
Colorado, Brazos, Bio Grande, Pearl, Ala
bama, Mobile, Savannah, Boanokc, James,
and many others, with their vast tribu
taries, throughout our entire country dur
ing the Summer and Autumn, and remark
ably so during seasons of unusual heat and
dryness, are invariably accompanied by ex
tensive derangements of the stomach and
liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their
treatment, a purgative, exerting a powerful
influence upon these various organs, is
essentially necessary. There is no cathar
tic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. Walker’s
Vinegar Bitters, as they will speedily re
move the dark-colored viscid matter with
which the bowels are loaded, at the same
time stimulating the secretions of the
liver, and generally restoring the healthy
functions of the digestive organs.
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Head-
nche*Pain in the Shoulders,Coughs,Tight
ness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructa
tions of tlie Stomach, Bad Taste in the
Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpitation of ths
Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain
in the region of the Kidneys, anil a hun
dred other painful symptoms, are the off
springs cf Dyspepsia. One bottle will
prove a better guarantee of its merits than
a lengthy advertisement.

Immense Decline in Dry Goods

YOUR TIME TO BUY—DELAYS ARE DANGEROUS—THEREFORE WE WOULD
ADVISE YOU TO
White
Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled
Neck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations,
Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial Affec
tions, Old Sores, Eruptions oi the Skin.
Sore Eyes, etc., etc. In thes^. as in all
other constitutional Diseases, walker’s
Vinegar Bitters have shown their gicat
carative powers in the most obstinate and
intractable coses.
For Inflammatory and Chronic
Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remittent
and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the
Blood, Liver, Kidneys, and Bladder, these
Bitters have no equal. Such Diseases ore
caused by Vitiated Blood.
Mechanical Diseases.—Persons en
gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as
Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and
Miners, as they advance in life, are sub
ject to paralysis of the Bowels. To guard
against this, take a dose of Malkebs
Vinegar Bitters occasionally.
For Skin Diseases, Enqitioi^,Tetter,
Salt Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples,
Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Ringworms,
Scald Head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch,
Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors
and Diseases of the Skin of w hatever name
or nature, are literally dug up and carried
out of the system iu a short time by the
use of these Bitters.
Pin, Tape, and oilier Worms, lurk
ing in the system of so many thousands, are
effectually destroyed and removed. No
system of medicine, no vermifuges, no
aathelmiuitics, will free the system from
worms like these Bitters.
* For Female Complaints, in young
or old, married or single, at the dawn of
womanhood or the turn of life, these Tonic
Bitters display so decided an influence
yw improvement is soon perceptible.
Jaundice.—In all cases of jaundice,
rest assured that your liver is not doing its
work. The only* sensible treatment is to
E romote the secretion of the bile and
ivor its removal. For this purpose use
Vinegar Betters.
Cleanse the Vitiated Blood when
ever yon find its impurities bursting
through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions,
or Sores; cleanse it when yon find it ob-
structod and sluggish in the veins; cleanse
it when it is foul; yonr feelings will tell
you when. Keep the blood pore, and the
health of the system will fallow.
