The “Tom Collins” Hoax.—Our clev
er friend, Mr. Samuel E. Whitaker, was
one of the victims of the “Tom Collins”
lmx, which our merchants, with too
much leisure, made a ‘good run on’, last
week. They knew Mr. W’s hobby, and
toM him a temperance lecturer by the
name of Collins was in town looking for
him. But diligent search revealed the
fact that this great temperance advocate
was not to be found, and the further fact
that our worthy friend of temperance had
been “sold.”
The agent of the Augusta Constitu
tionalist was in town and had a long
search for Mr. Collins, who he was told
was looking for him that he might be
come a subscriber to that valuable paper.
To such an extent was the joke carried,
that several gentlemen living in the coun
try were sent for to come to town as Mr.
Collins from Texas was here with letters
for them.
James McArthur gives an amusing ac
count of Air. Collins’ visit to Milledge
ville, which the intelligent reader cannot
fail to enjoy.
Another Monster Destroyed.—A Rat'
tie snake was killed by some laborers on
the Lunatic Asylum premises, on last
Saturday, which measured four feet in
length and had eight rattles and a button.
These venomous reptiles have been fearful
ly on the increase for several years past;
and when we take into consideration that
two of the three principal enemies of
this dangerous species has almost disap
peared from our section of country, we
may well fear that this once almost ex
tinguished serpent, may yetJbecome very
troublesome. We refer to the deer and
swine. Prior to the settling of this
country by man the rattle snake was
kept in check by the herds of deer, which
animal was their deadly enemy and de
stroyed them, as we have been informed,
by leaping upon them with their sharjf
hoofs. Gradually as the country be
came settled and the deer disappeared,
herds of hungry swine were kept on al
most every plantation which drove the
rattle snake into inaccessible hiding
places among cliffs of rocks and in dense
swamps where they were little feared and
seldom met with. But since the raising
of hogs has almost ceased, man is left
alone to fight the battle, and the past
few years show heavy reinforcements on
the part of the snake: so look out for
them.
Fern a Iaey.—This remarkable man
greeted ns at an early hour, on one of the
streets of Milledgeville, last Monday
morning, having walked eight miles that
morning ! The exclamation point will be
justified when we inform our readers that
Mr. Ivey is in the 76th year of his age;
and that he carried a satchel of consider
able size in his hand. Such is the reward
of a long life of temperance, uprightness,
industry and good citizenship. Mr. Ivey
yet appears to enjoy great physical vigor;
and being a widower, we commend him
to the consideration of the marriageable
spinsters of our city. What say they?

May-Ray Celebration.
The Celebration of May-Day by the
popular schools of Rev. J. H "Allen and
Miss Carrie Fair in our city on the 26th
inst., was a handsome affair. The Coro
nation scene came off in the old Senate
Chamber in the presence of a large con
course, the beautiful Miss Cora Estes be
ing crowned “Queen of May.” Master
Willie Hunter officiated as Herald, and
Miss Rosa McAdoo personated the flowe
ry month of May. Miss Annie Allen and
Miss Ella Leonard were the graceful
maids of Honor; Miss Rebecca Roberts
presented the sceptre to her young Majes
ty, and Miss Emma Craig officiated as
Grand Marshal of the Empire. ■ The four
seasons were handsomely represented by
Misses Mary Allen as Spring—Hattie
Allen as Summer—Mattie Wall as Au
turnn—and Jessie McCook as Winter.
Then came Miss Mattie House as Flora,
and Misses Annie and Fannie Stembridge
and Addie Wall as Flower-girls; then fol
lowed the three Gentle-Shepherds, Mas
ters Willie McDougall, Oscar Dunn and
George McDougall. Suddenly a scene of
enchantment swept before the audience.
Little Johnny Conn as King of the Fai
ries in robes burst on the vision; then
Miss Nona McAdoo with half-spread
wings trod the stage daintily, followed by
an infantile throng made up of Master
Daniel Stetson Sanford as Crown-bearer,
and by the little Aliases Bessie Fair as
Sea-shell, Laura Hernandez as Stormy-
petrel, Carrie Allen as Fire-fly, Annie
Holder as Coral, Minnie Meadows as
Silver-Wing, Fannie Par ker as Starlight
and Laura McAdoo as Fairy-magician.
From the brilliant Coronation the hap
py throng of children followed by delight
ed par ents and friends betook themselves
to the grass-carpeted grounds about the
Old Capitol shaded by handsome elms.
The Queen and her favorite attendants
were invited by the accomplished Photo
grapher W. T. Brown, (whose gallery is
on the Capitol square) who made excel
lent photographs of these young repub
lican “royalists.” Then came the grand
repast of cake, fruit, nuts, Ac., (preceded,
we believe, by some more solid aliment
of baked-ham, chicken, &c., &c.,) until all
were content and pangs of hunger were
far removed. These last named interest
ing ceremonies were transacted in the old
Representative Hall. Finally, a little af
ter sunset, the Gay Assembly adjourned
until May-day 1875. The occasion was a
brilliant one, and reflected the highest
credit on those popular teachers, Rev.
Mr. Allen and Miss Carrie Fair.
We are pleased to learn that the
worthy Superintendent of the Lunatic
Asylum, Dr. Thomas F. Green, who has
been very ill of Pneumonia, is much
better and is thought to be out of dan
ger.
Weather and Crops.—During the past

has been very hot. The appearance of
cotton has improved, but gardens are

In Baker and Calhoun counties plenty

In Terrell county, rain plenty; bad
stands of cotton; com small, but growing
rapidly; oats and wheat harvesting.
A fair wheat crop in Bartow. Euhar-

I*st evening about ten o’clock citizens
on Broad street were alarmed by what
appeared to be a serious disturbance
going on in Dr. S. F. Salter's Eclectic
Dispensary. This is located on Broad
street, between Alabama and Hunter
streets, on the left hand side. The Doctor
occupies the whole building. The atten
tion of the bystanders was attractad by a
woman in her night dress, ,vho passed

violent altercation with some person in

qrndkty attracted a crowd. Finally she
put her head outside of the window and

mriCTioN, together with an officer-, went
dyer to the room, and upon ascending to
tnesecood floor found only two persons
—Dr. Salter and the lady.
her statement.
The woman was in a condition of ner
vous excitement if not insanity, which it
would be difficult to describe to our
readers. She was questioned at length
by the Constitution representative as to
the cause of her crying out. In response
to these questions she made a statement
charging Dr. Salter with an attempt to
poison her. She stated that he gave her
medicine on Wednesday to cure, as he
said, headache, and which she found out,
from its effects, was poison. He had
attempted to repeat the dose List night,
which ; T . _o_
was the immediate cause of the
trouble. She said she bad been living in
the house about a year taking charge of
and boarding the Doctor’s patients. In
her statement, which was very incoherent,
she alluded to crimes being perpetrated in
the house which are too infamous for us
to mention, until the truth of what she
says can be better established. Dr. Sal
ter has always been regarded a gentleman
character and position, and charges of
this kind need confirmation before they
can be accepted as true. This lady,
whose name we suppress on account of
, er f am *ty> belongs to a highly respected
family of Athens, Ga. Before the war
she was in affluent circumstances, but
losing all, was compelled to take boarders.
She appeared to be under the influence
of fear and jealousy, and thought that
Dr. Salter laid an object to effect in get-
ting her out of the way.
Dr. Salter was taken into costody by
an officer and carried to the Station
House,* where he remained all last night,
as Captain Jones thought it best not to
take bond.
The Constitution's representative saw
him at the quarters and conversed with
him about the trouble The Doctor
appeared to be a well educated courteous
man. He says that on last Wednesday

said that he could not conceive what

attack.
THE MYSTERY*.
There is bnt one patient in the house
—a young lady from Schley county, who
has been there sixteen months. She was
also questioned by The Constitution
reporter, but could throw no light upon
this affair. She agreed with Dr. Salter
as to the housekeeper’s insanity, and as
to the bilious fever, but gave no new
facts. The house was carefully guarded
last night by the police, and the whole
affair will be investigated. It is possible
and even probable that all these charges
are the offspring of a brain crazed by
fever, and we hope this may prove
true.
Dr. Salter is a married man. His wife and
two children are at present in Griffin,
where the latter are at school.—Atlanta

E d of the Carpet-bag Reign in Arkansas
—Some of the Rats that Ran from the
Sinking Ship.
[St Louis Times, ll«y 22 ]
Each train over the Cairo and Fulton
and Iron Mountain Railroads brings to
St. Lonis crowds of Brookites, who since
that little proclamation of the President’s,
find tho land’ of the Rackensacks too hot
for them. At the different hotels were
registered last night Colonel John AIJ
Clayton, brother of the great head and
front ol the late attempted usurpation,
a member of the last General Assembly
from Jefferson county, and recently a
Brigadier General of Brooks’ forces;
Colonel John Booker, also a member
of the House, the leader of the forces
who fired into the steamer Hallie, and
afterwards scuttled her; Lieut. Col. A.
S. Fowler, formerly sheriff of Pope coun
ty, and who is known in connection with
the seizure of the State arms from the
Arkansas State Industrial University
at Fayetteville, and for whose capture the
ill-fated steamer Hallie was equipped and
started out; Captain H. It. Pinkney,
formerly of the State Lands Department;
Captain J. T. Cox, Jr., of the Brooks
forces; Capt. Ed. Stowell, of the State
Treasury Department; Lieut. Charles
Taylor, Chief Clerk of the Chancery
Court; Col. AI. L. Andrews, Quartermas
ter General of the Brooks forces, and a
large number of the followers of the
organizing parson. With these gentle
men the drama is over, the curtain has
fallen, the desperate game they attemp
ted has not won, and now, after a short
and fitful season of the “pomp, pride and
circumstance of glorious war,” they find
themselves refugees from a land they
have for years impoverished, and well
nigh converted into a “howling wilder
ness.” The reign of the carpet-bagger is
over in Arkansas, and the horde of vam
pires that baa for the last decade been
drawing the life blood from the common
wealth, mast seek other scenes more
congenial to their vandalism. Poor Joe,
had he served his God as faithfully as he
served Benjamin Clayton, he would not
be deserted in this, his last extremity.

The departure of Sartoris and his

In the afternoon the revenue cutter Grant
steamed down the bay and lay off Fort
Hamilton waiting for the Baltic. Dinner
w as served in the grand cabin, constitu
ted of strawberries and ice cream, tongue,
salad, cold chicken, and champagne.
AVlien the table was cleared Gen. Sharpe
toasted the bride in a glass of champagne,
paying a neat tribute to her modesty and
ability and congratulating the groom on
becoming the possessor of one of the rar
est of America’s daughters. This was cut
short by the approach of the Baltic. The
tug Chandler was then made fast to the
steam tug Grant, and the President, Airs,
and Air. Sartoris; Generals Babcock,
Porter, ex-Collector Murphy, General
Tharpe and naval officer Laflin went on
board. Then came an affectionate leave-
taking between the President, his wife
and their daughter. The President
breathed “God bless you, Nellie," and she
kissed him. Sartoris then handed her
np the Baltic’s side, where they stood
waving handkerchiefs. The tug Grant
fired a salute of guns. Fort Hamilton
replied, and the Baltic dipped her signal.
All the party cheered in unison, and she
moved slowly away. She passed Sandy
Hook with all her colors flying. Forty-
five of the President’s party returned to
the city and left for Washington at 3
o'clock this afternoon. Fred left for Chi

The Eastman Atlanta Business
College.
This institution ha* achieved a success
which is unparalleled in the history of
Commercial Colleges. Starting in Atlanta
Ga., May 9th, 1871, with four students, it
has already sent out to the business world
nearly THREE HUNDRED STUDENTS
to attest its superior merits. The secret
of its wonderml success is, 1st it is the
only College in the South that is conduc
ted on the Actual Business Plan. 2nd, it
keeps np, to the letter of its advertise
ments; 3d, it is conducted by men who
have had years of experience as practical
accounts, business men and teachers. The
total cost for a full course, including
board, washing,tuition, books and station
ery, will not exceed $130. For specimens

It was published in one of the morning
papers reaentty that the physicians of
Goi.’ Butler, in consequlince of his con
tinued ill health, have advised him to
forego all work for a while and go to
Europe, o thife report is added that
the President will' tender to General
Butjer the "y«w»n to Vienna, in place of
John Jay, who has long been objectiona
fate to the President and is now here.
TheflHot is that the chances of Gen. But
ter's nomination for Governor of Alassa-
at the next election are hardly
iflring, and it » currently believed
that he will not be able to secure his
return to Congress from his old district.
The unfortunate position which he occu-

and disappointment* ^hich he has under-
