A Marvelous Story
TOLD IN TWO LETTERS.
FROM THE SON: To!S&&S?
“ Gentlemen: My father resides at Glover,
Vt. He has been a great sufferer from Scrof
ula, and the inclosed letter will tell you what
a marvelous effect
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla
tras had In his case. I think Lis blood must
hare contained the humor for at least ten
years ; but it did not show, except in the form
of a scrofulous sore on the wrist, until about
live years ago. From a few spots which ap
peared at that time, it gradually spread so as
to cover his entire body. 1 assure you Ire was
terribly afflicted, and an object of pity, when
he began using your medicine. Now, there are
few inen of his age who enjoy as good health
as he has. I could easily name fifty persons
who would testify to the facts in his case.
Yours truly, \V. M. PHILLIPS.”
FROM THE FATHER a pleasure anti
a duty for me to state to you tlie benefit I
Lave derived from the use of
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.
Six months ago I was completely covered with
a terrible humor and scrofulous sores. The
humor caused an incessant and intolerable
itching, and the skin cracked so as to cause
the blood to flow in many places whenever
I moved. My sufferings were great, and my
life a burden, I commenced the use of the
Sarsaparilla in April last, and have used
it regularly since that time. 'v condition
began to improve at once. V. sores have
all healed, and I feel perfectly well in every
respect — being now able to do a good day’s
work, although 73 years of age. Many inquire
what has wrought such a cure in my case, and
I tell them, as I have here tried to tell you,
AVer’s Sarsaparilla. Glover, Vt., Oct.
21,1882. Yours gratefully,
Hiram Phillips.”
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla cures Scrofula
and ail Scrofulous Complaints, Erysip
elas, Ecxeroa, Ringworm, Blotches,
Sores, Bolls, Tumors, and Eruptions of
the Skin. It clears the blood of all impu
rities, aids digestion, stimulates the action of
the bowels, and thus restores vitality and
strengthens the whole system.

Monday Night, June 30th.
The Independent Republican oppo
sition to the nomination of Blaine
and Logan is represented to be grow
ing.
The Swaim Court Martial.—This
is decided upon and the officers have
been appointed. The Court will
meet at Washington on the 12th.
This issue is the last number in
volume Fifty-Four of the Federal
Union. The next issue will lie the
first in the Fifty-Fifth of this venera
ble journal.
A row occurred at Pittsburg, be
tween the discharged men and those
employed to take their places and
four of the new men were badly lnut,
one probably fatally.
Later accounts state that the chol
era has appeared at Marseilles. Sev
eral deaths from that disease have
taken place there. Largo numbers
of people have left the city.
Some colored democrats in New
York desire representation in the na
tional convention to be held at Chi
cago on the 8th. If it can Ire done in
accordance with the representative
regulations let them have a chance.
Blaine’s friends are talking <>f ma
king a vigorous campaign in the
South. They say. also, 1 ho tariff
must play a conspicuous part in the
contest. "What will the Democratic
protectionists do in that case? It will
be embarrassing to them.
Chicago.—The delegates to the De
mocratic convention at Chicago, are
beginning to pour into the city. We
rejoice at the prospect, Hope is il
limitable and we place our best hopes
upon the Chicago Democratic con
gregation. Let them meet and act.
Judge Henderson, our Georgia com-
misioner of Agriculture, makes the
sum paid into the Treasury for the
past fiscal year, $02,133 from the in
spection of fertilizers, after deducting
all expenses. This shows that our
Agriculturists have lost no conti-
ebnee in the use of com mere in l fer
tilizers.
The Corn crop may be said to be
safe, and is splendid. In lower Geor
gia it is laid by. In this section, one
more season will be all that is needed.
Cotton is looking finely, but the ex
cessive rains have caused the plant
to put on too much weed. A few days
of sunshine, such as we had yester
day, would give farmers a chance to
clean out the grass.
Melons and other Fruits.—From
all accounts we infer that the melon
crop will bo poor this year. The
rains have been so excessive as to cut
off the crop fully one half, and wo
fear, also that the peach crop will bo
greatly diminished from the same
cause. The prospect was line for an
extraordinary crop, but in many
sections the peaches are rotting on
the trees.
Col. J. H. Estill writes a letter to
the Brunswick Herald, upon the sub
ject of the Governorship, in which
he says;
Your letter, however, affords me an
opportunity of saying what 1 desire
in regard to the subject. It is the un
mistakable wish of a large majority
of the people of Georgia that our
present Chief Magistx’ate, Gov. Mc
Daniel, shall fill the Gubernatorial
chair for a full term, and I hope
there will be no division among
Democrats on the question.
This is like Col. Estill. He is a wise
and liberal-minded Democrat. We
put no confidence in the rumor that
he intended to contest the gubernato
rial race with Governor McDaniel,
who has given univeral satisfaction
to the people of Georgia.
The Augusta Exchange is very earn
estly engaged in measures to increase
the trade of Augusta. Several boats
will probably be built to run regular
ly between Augusta and Savannah.
The river has been considerably im
proved, but would have been put in
much better condition if congress,
with the great surplus in tho treasu
ry, had performed its very obvious
duty fn the premises. Tin
he people,
of Augusta and along the line of tho
river, have just reason to complain
of this neglect.
Capt. C. A. Philpot tin old Savan
nah river captain, we see it stated in
the Chronicle, “is preparing plans
of a boat that will draw less than fif
teen inches of water, light and with
steam on, or loaded will draw thirty
inches of water. The freight capac
ity will be 800 non-compressed bales
of cotton. Ho proposes to build one
or two or more boats of the character
referred to for a moderate sum each.
He will propose to do all the work
here aud have the boat or boats ready
for machinery within a prescribed
time. The machinery can be put in
and each boat thoroughly equipped
tit this point, Capt. P.’s plan would
revive an old industry, if we may use
that word. As good boats as ever pli
ed tho Savannah river were begun
and completed on the river bank just
above the city bridge.
ILLINOIS IN CONVENTION.
The Democrats, in convention in Il
linois, stood firmly by the Democrat
ic platform of a tariff for revenue
only. We lack room for giving the
platform in full but it is all right and
will have weight in the National Dem
ocratic convention on the 8tli instant.
Hon, William R. Morrison was re
ceived with a tumult of applause.
Mr. Tilden’s Preference.
Some one, writing from Albany
New York, says Mr. Tilden’s fine
hand can be seen in working the
wires for Mr. Cleveland. We be
lieve that is conjecture and nothing
more. Tho machine managers who
favor Governor Cleveland say that
for effect, but we have seen nothing
to confirm the statement. It is evi
dent from the whole tenor of his ar
ticle that he is trying his best to put
l^Ir. Cleveland forward as the strong-
ftt and best candidate, and without
authority, urges that he is Mr. Til
den’s choice. We believe that Mr.
Tilden is playing no such game
While we say this we would not be
understood as opposing Governor
Cleveland, but simply defending
Governor Tilden against the charge
of secretly working for the New York
Governor. Mr. Tilden has, hereto
fore, taken the ground of silence on
this question, leaving it to the party
to make its selection without any in
terference on his part. We believe
in the integrity of his declara
tion and think it unjust in any one
to try to make him a partisan of any
candidate.
We had to go to press before the address
was made by Rev. Wm. Adams, or Augus
ta, before the Literary Societies, last Mon
day evening. The distinguished divine de
lighted tho audience with a narrative, In
the main, of a visit to Scotland. His de
scription of memorable cities and locali
ties in that grand old country, so celebra
ted iu history, and so full of the deeds of
its great men aud women, and so perfectly
painted by her poets, orators and novel
ists, was a theme that could but interest
deeply an intelligent audience. It was a
line address.
Tuesday, July 1st.
The rain ceased in time to give promise
of a pleasant daj\ Tho Hall was tilled to
its utmost capacity, above and below, with
a line audience. I’rayer was offered by
Rev. R. W. Bigham.
Miss Fannie Raiford recited “Home,
Sweet Home” in a happy and touching
way.
Cadet Foreman spoke an extract from
a speech by Senator Vest of Missouri, on
the “Educational Bill”. Ilis effort was
handsome.
Miss Ellen Fox recited tiio “Color Bear
er.” The rendition id this selection was
admirable.
Cadet W. Cook declaimed in aline man
ner aud delivery, and with a a pathos that
touched many hearts to tears, on “My
Country, My Mother, MyGod.”
Miss Rose White recited a “London Lec
ture”, from the famous Artemas Ward, it,
was very amusing, happily spoken aud
convulsed the audience with laughter.
(V.det Perry spoke on uu “Address to
tiie Irish”. It was a most happy ntui real
ly eloquent effort,
Miss Emma Crawford recited the “Yeo
man’s Story.” It was personated very
prettily in the reader, anti charmingly
rendered.
Cadet Hutchings punched usali in the
rili.s and made “us all" laugh, by relating
the troubles of the editor of the Morning
Argus, w ho attempted to improve his pa
per by adding an Obituary Department.
Jle made a centre shot.
Miss Fannie Way Williams told the “Old
Actor’s Story,” to llie very life, and most
graceiully, perhaps it wouldn’t l>e loo
much to say, brilliantly.
Cadet Herty declaimed on "Free Trade”,
lie did his part well, if he had added
“Sailor’s Rights” lie would have struck
the old chord that brought war between
the Motiier Country and her offspring in
1812.
A burlesque from Shakespeare’s (days,
by the following characters, finished t he
morning’s programme in a pleasing style:
Mrs. Juliet Montague, Miss Fox; Mrs.
(iphelia Hamlet, Miss Bigham ; Lady Mac
beth, Miss Williams; Mrs. Portia Bassa-
nio, Miss Cook.
Lieut. Cook was Officer of the Day.
Tuesday afternoon at 5 p. si. there was a
Company Drill by the Cadets. At c r. m.
there was a Dress Parade. Hundreds of
people were present, and the grounds ap
peared as if in Holiday dress. Command
ant Mathis is a fine tactician, as was fully
exemplified by the excellent drilling of the
Cadets. After the close of the dress pa
rade, genei’al orders were read, in which
the following promotions wore announced;
Win. Perry from first lieutenant to Cap-
tian. Edward Cook from second lieuten
ant to first lieutenant. Wm. Cook, first
sergeant to second lieutenant. Louis Hall,
second serg't to first sergeant. This clos
ed the afternoon exercises.

There was a brilliant audience present
to enjoy this entertainment. Tho concert
was under tho supervision of Miss Gertie
Treanor, teacher of music in the College.
It was altogether a delightful Musical
Festival. We could not, if we wished to do
so, comment upon tho pieces as performed
by the young ladies; it would take an ac
complished critic in the Art to do this.
Wo can only express a confession of pleas
ure at being present on this occasion.
After the close of the Concert there was
a brilliant display of fire-works from the
top of the College, which was a treat to
the great crowd of spectators.
We omitted to say, that a charge of 25
cents admission to the concert was made,
for the purpose ot purchasing an organ for
the college, and a handsome amount was
realized.
Wednesday, July 2n'd.
Commencement Day, Wednesday, July
2nd, was tho last and most attractive of
the exercises of the M. G. M. A A. College
for the year 1S84. Tho chapel was packed
with an audience eager to hear the many
line features of the programme. After
prayer. Gen. Toombs addressed the audi
ence briefly. He referred iu touching
words to the hail whr»e he made entrance
in public life over firty years ago. lie
spoke of the character of our government
as contrasted with the governments or
nations, empires, Ac , where all power was
vested in a few favorites who inherited
rather than made the titles by which they
ruled the people. He said, “In this coun
try, God Almighty gave the government
to the men who made it.” the “old man
eloquent” spoke so low, almost in whis
pering tones, that but. few could catch the
precious words that Tell from his lips.
Gen. Toombs was handsomely introduc
ed to the audience by Hon.F. G. DuBignon.
The programme of exercises by the
graduating class was as follows:
Salutatory Oration (Second Honon
Capt. C. H. Herty.
The Mounds and their Builders,
Miss Kate Bigham.
Woman’s Need of a Higher Education,
Miss Fannie Williams.
Valedictory Address (First Honor)
Miss Emma Crawford.
Cadet Capt. C. H. Herty delivered the
Saluiatory in a manner easy and gtaeeful.
He is a fine speaker, and lias a handsome
bearing.
Miss Bigham read an essay in a most
beautiful manner and told us all about the
Mounds and their Builders. It displayed
extensive reading on this little understood j
subject by the generality of people.
Miss Fannie Way Williams read an es
say on ’Woman’s Need of a Higher Educa
tion. It was charmingly read, aud was a
composition most excellent in the manner
and in the matter of its suggestions. Miss
Williams possesses dramatic power to a
high degree, and has great selr-possession.
-Miss Emrua.C’rawford who boro off the
first honor, delivered an address full of
beauty and redolent of sympathy and af
fection, It was very touching in its lan
guage, aud her delivery was so graceful
and her parting words so full of tender
ness as to bring tears to many eyes. She
is a lovely type of beautiful young woman
hood.
The certificates of proficiency were de
livered by Dr. Cook, after which, he intro
duced in very complimentary terms the
Orator of the Day, Hon. A. H. Cox, of At-
lantx, who arose and addressed the audi
ence for an hour on the following subject:
“You are the Types, What will you Print?”
Tue great purpose of the speaker was to
show that there was an eternal fitness in
all things, and that there was a speeiai
object in t lie creation of people—that they
were born just where they ought to have
been, and not somewhere else, or some
body else. He scouted at the idea of
chance, and frequently spiced his remarks
with very amusing anecdotes, which caus
ed a pleasant smile to come over the faces
of the most sober and sedate listeners in
the audience. Mr. Cox may not bo term
ed a polished orator, and yet he has a very
attractive delivery—the matter of liis
address was very good, and he was listen
ed to attentively throughout. The address
made a fine impression on the audience,
The medals were presented by Prof, J.
T. Den y of Wesleyan Female College, in a
pleasant and happy rhanner, as follows:
First medal for highest scholarship in
college classes—Cadet C. H. Ileity.

The benediction was pronounced by
Chancellor Moll. There was a salute of 13
guns fired after tiie above exercises by a
section of tiie cadets on the campus.
Wedxesi>ay Afternoon.
Tiie east side of the college was the ob
jective point of visitors to the campus.
Here was to be a contest in the Manual of
Arms by tiie Cadets. Tiie beauty and the
chivalry had gathered there to smile upon
and honor the victor with applause. The
contest was long, the struggle manful,
and for tin hour or more it appeared as
though it was to be a “drawn fight”. But
finally, there were only two contestants
left in the line. Then the excitement was
intense. Cadets Daniels and Wilcox were
put to the severest test, and after a hard
and honorable struggle, Cadet Daniels
“let his foot slip” so to speak, and Cadet
Wilcox stood last and bore the laurels of
victory.
The scene was truly inspiring and beau
tiful. Commandant Mathis the drill offic
er, Capt. I. II. Adams, of the Putnam Ri
des and Capt. J. Clarence Simmons, of the
Hancock Van Guards were the Judges,
Capt. Carnes of the Macon Volunteers
could not be present, though invited to
act as one of the Judges.
The prizes were delivered by Col. R. V.
Hardeman ol' Clinton, the first to Cadet
Wilcox, and the second to Cadet Daniels.
Commencement of the Houghton In
stitute.
GEN. TOOMBS.
This grand old Georgian’s visit to Mill-
edgevile was an occasion that revived the
record of ihe past in our mind’s eye.
The General is physically feebler than we
expected to see him. The last time we saw
him he was passing through Milledgeville
on horseback, a day or two after the fight
at Columbus, Ga., where General Toombs
and General Cobb commanded and got
worsted. General Toombs was in a hur
ry to get to his home, and could stop only
a minute or two for refreshments. The
next we heard of the “Old Rebel,” as he is
called, he was in Paris.
His visit last week to the sceuo of his
eariv victories in political battle-fields
must have stirred tiie heart of the old man
with emotions deep and soulful. As he
satin the hall where his eloquent tongue
had so often electrified the “wisdom of
t he State,” and a host of admirers, what
he thought and wiiat ho felt would tie a
story of intense interest in itself. He
was surrounded at all times by old friends,
and young men who iiad never gazed
on Ids manly form or listened to his
charming conversation. His address, or
rather talk, to the audience, on Wednes
day, was spoken in tones so low we could
not catch a connected sentence. The Gen
eral promised us lo write out his remarks,
and we shall esteem it a rare pleasure to
print them.
.11 DUE keksk.
We have noticed some aitides, publish
ed in the Chronicle A Constitutionalist,
written by Ihe Hon. Wm. M. Reese, on
certain defects in our State Constitution,
which should be read by all our leading
statesmen. We have been impressed with
the propriety, indeed, we may almost say,
with the necessity of the changes which
In; proposes. Judge Reese lias a legal
mind surpassed by no man in the State,
and to read his views is to adopt them.
We are glad that they will be widely cir
culated in the Chronicle and we shall take
occasion to publish them at our conveni
ence and with as little delay ns possible,
that we may add still further to laying
them in'fore our citizens who will take an
interest in improving our constitution,
and simply fixing tiie modus ojteraudiol
our legislative action.
Tenth Congressional District.—Hon.
Geo. T. Barnes.
The Democratic Convention kr this
district was held at Sandersville, July 1st.
We regret our inability to publish theen
tire proceedings. Hon. Geo. T. Barnes
was nominated by a unanimous vote, to
represent the 10th District ia the next Con
gress.
The high honor was fairly won by Ma
jor B ti nes, for liis long and valuable ser
vices to the party and not for that alone,
tiut for those exalted abilities which qual
ify him to serve liis constituents and state
ably and usefully in tho Federal Legisla
ture.
The Augusta Editor of the Union A Re
corder had the great pleasure of witness
ing last Tuesday evening the charming
commencement exercises ot the Houghton
Institute. We can only make brief men
tion of the exercises, which, without ex
ception were highly creditable not only to
tiie speakers, but to the able and accom
plished principal, J. Cuthbert Shtcut, and
the efficient and accomplished lady teach
ers of the Institute. The Valedictoiy ad
dress of Miss Minnie Platt, was just what
it ought to be, beautifully written, touch
ing in sentiment and gracefully delivered.
An address by Mr. James H. Lewis, a
young lawyer of Savannah, and a gradu
ate of the Institute was peculiarly appro
priate, evincing a cherished memory of his
happy connection with it and a desire for
its continued prosperity. His address was
received wild marked approbation by the
audience. We will briefly refer to all the
speakers;
Levy Marcus, “Life without Freedom”,
showed that he estimated the blessing of
liberty. He will never consent to its loss.
When a man he will stand by the people’s
rights.
Fannie Wiggins, “Saturday Night,” a
pretty piece and gracefully spoken.
Verita Hudson, “Preaching versus Prac
tice”, was handled well and admired.
Otelia Denning, “The Lost Child”. This
young girl exiiibited tiie deep sympathy
her subject was so well calculated to inspire.
Marion Weiglo handled her subject
"Bangs” much to tho amusement of tho
audience. Lou Shecut, “Counterfeits”
showed that there is no little chaff in the
wheat of human life. Dickie Puryear, “A
Naughty Little Girl”. Good advice in this
with a useful picture. Charles Parr, “Our
Southern Land”. Sensible and patriot ic.
John Pierson, “Independence”, sensible
aiul manly. Blanche Levy, “America”.
Full of fine thoughts for one so young.
George Barr, “Cataline’s Address” hand
somely delivered. Will Puryear, “Charles
Macree” was greatly admired by the audi
ence. Frank Johnson, “Education”, hand
somely treated. The late of empires de
pend upon the education of youth. Ster
ling Palmer, “I he Old Man at the Stylish
Church” well delineated and spoken. Bes
sie Wiggins. “Tin* Skeptic"; Grove Den
ning, “Ronald Clare”. Both of these were
iieaufiful specimens of lection. Tho accent
uation was remarkably fine; Ihe manner
and gesture was almost faultless. It
would bo absurd to say that such perfec
tion was the intuitive perception of these
young girls. It was iu part the work of
tiie teachers. Such euphuism might be ob
tained from long practice and intuition,
but the presumption is, it was, at least in
part, the work of tiie teacher and it shows
that some one in the Institute, probably
the Principal, guided them to the summit
they have reached, aided by their own in
tuitive perception of tiie height and beauty
of p l'onunciatiigi. But we pass from these
critical remarks on accentuation to refer
briefly to tiie ealislhenic display under the
direction of Miss Maggie Duffy. This was
one of tiie most pleasing scenes in the
closing exercises of the Institute, and it
was a pleasing change through the great
er part of the exhibition.
The beautiful calisthenic evolutions at
tracted marked attention and afforded un
bounded pleasure in the graceful varieties
of attitudes which are taught by the ac
complished teacher of this department.
It was the more admired because all intel
ligent beholders connect with these grace
ful attitudes a comprehension of the health
giving power of the limbs and muscles.
In tiiis department are compressed health
and strength, with elegance in attitude
and figure. This exhibition affords a
theme for columns, but wo must close
with an expression of hearty commenda
tion of Prof. Shecut and his lady assistants
for the great and good work they are do
ing and tho great pleasure afforded in
these closing exercises of the 12th com
mencement of the Houghton Institute.
The greatest sensation of the evening
was the exhibition of the extravaganza en
titled “The Stolon Je-wels” by Prof. Shecut.
It is a difficult matter to condense a play,
uo matter of what kind, in so short a com
pass with a beginning, middle aud end and
that which will have body enough to
please the beholder or reader. But the
Professor succeeded ill doing that, aud
maintaining the unities of the story and
tiie interest of the beholders, or readers
without abruptness and with a pleasing
effect. He properly thought that in so
many varieties in the exhibition, the play
should be short. He has made it so, and
in line language, plot and sentiment has
admirably accomplished liis purpose.
This brief “Extravaganza” has shown that
he posesses the faculty to write a play at
length which for exalted sentiment and
noble humanity would meet a favorable
reception in any enlightened community.
His first effort wo believe, The Stolen
Jewels, was well put forth by Mr. Samuel
Potts as King of Arcadia, and Miss Mag
gie Scott as Queen, Misses Bessie Wiggins
and Grove Denning as Princess Alice and
Subida, Miss Norma Broadhurst as Queen
of the l ait ies, Sterling Palmer as Prince
Gilbert. The others who filled various
roles were Misses Willie Morris, Claude
Smith, l’orcey Jacobs, Sidney Johnson,
Sterling Bush, Henry llolbrook, Willie
Bioadhurst, Ralph Youngblood, Liu She-
eut and Jane Henry. The following were
pretty little fairies in the play, Willie Pur-
year, Eva Thompson, Carrie Lou Wheeler,
Mamie Shecut, Annie Wiggins, Dickie Pur
year, Grade Bassett, Lena Mertins, Lou
Wheeler, Helen Wheeler, Sophie Hogrlef,
Mamie Fulcher, Bessie Meltings, Carrie
Youngblood, CMlio Scott, Beulah Mitchell,
Emma Meyers, Bella Calvin, Mollie Let-
tiee, Radio Williams, Cora Vandiver, Ber
tha Young, Belle Hargrove, Annie Lu-
quire, Georgia Hogrlef, Mattio Luquire,
Teddfe Denning and Susie Yeno.
We cannot make room for the distribu
tion of the honors. Thus terminated the
twelfth annual commencement or the
Houghton Institute, if not the most brill
iant,one at least which (hrows anaddirion-
al halo around an institution of which the
city of Augusta lias much reason to be
proud for its faithful and noble wo:k in the
cause of education.
During the walking match at Macon on
the 4th, a bridge spanning the track near
the judges stand, gave way, and fifty men t
women and children were precipitated to
the ground, a distance of 15 feet. Several
persons had a fracture of leg or arm, and
many were bruised. It was miraculous
that none were killed and so few injured.
Gov. McDaniel visited the Rome milita
ry encampment last week and reviewed
the troops. Eight Georgia companies
were present, and one from Alabama and
Tennessee each.

Mr. S. A. H, Jones made a brief visit to
Macon and attended commencement Ht
Milledgeville this week. He was duly’
warned not to go to the Asylum, as lie
doubtless would obtain permanent board.
Mr.Cullen Murphy, a well known and
highly respected citizen, lias planted a
five aero field in wheat for 11 years in suc
cession, averaging over 100 bushes for
each year. After harvesting the wheat he
plants the iield in peas, and after they are
gathered or fed to slock in tiie fall, some
15 or 20 bushels of cotton seed per acre are
sowed on the land and then seed and vlues
are plowed under, after which wheat is
again sowed. This is all tho fertilizing
given to the land, from which two valua
ble crops are annually made.
Our Wild Plums.—A specimen of these
plums was handed ns a few days ago, and
since then we have informed ourselves con
cerning them. They are of the Chickasaw
species, have a thick reddish skin and
slightly acid pulp, and are commonly de
nominated “hog plums” from the fact that
hogs eat them. Few- persons are aware
that these plums can be utilized in making
preserves, jellies, jams, also a delicious
“catch-up.” To prepare tiie plums, first
pick out the decayed fruit, wasli them in
clean water, boil them in water in which
a pound of soda has been dissolved; after
boiling, the fruit should be crushed and
strained, to which add 10 lbs, of sugar to
a quart of juice and proceed in the usual
way of making these delicacies.
If the young Chickasaw chief who pie-
sented us with the plums and knows where
to find them, will furnish the fruit, we
will present him with some of this most
excellent^ ahem!— “Catcii-up,”

Messrs. Editors:
The pupils of Wingfield Academy, as
sisted by the young ladies and gentlemen
of Merriwether, also Mrs. My rick will give
an entertainment for tiie benefit of the
Missionary Society, on Monday night. (Of
course it will be a success as ice-cream is
on hand.)
The cabbage received from Mrs. Jones,
was by actual weight, six pounds heavy.
Thanks for her remembrance, and may
she receive in this life lots or good things,
and iu the bright world of sympathy and
love a realization of all her pure heart de
sires.
Mrs. John Minor has our thanks for a
basket of beautiful vegetables. The beets
were exceedingly line and the cabbage
huge.
Mrs. My rick desires to return special
thanks to the ladies and gentlemen, who
so generously and kindly assisted her, al
so to tho ladies for ice cream.
Mr. Dowdell has t Lo kind rememhianoe
and grateful acknowledgement of the en
tire troupe for his assistance.
CONGRESSIONAL.
The most important, or rather, tempor
ary essential matters, have been attended
to and we can see no reason why Congress
should not adjourn by Saturday night.
It is true some tilings are left undone
which ought to have been done long ago.
Our navy is not iu a fix to enable us to
make a fight if one of the great powers
should attack us, but it is not probable
that such a thing will occur very soon.
Still it is well to remember the okl saying:
“In time of peace prepare for war.”
Veto.—President Arthur vetoed tiie hill
restoring Fitz John Porter to his position
in the Army. The House sustained the
bill by a two-thirds vote. We aro pleased
that it should have done so. We have
long been impressed with tl»o idea that
General Porter was not guilty of the
charges of which a court martial found
him guilty. The bill was not successful in
the Senate. The vote to pass the bill in
that body over veto, was yeas 27, nays 27. j
A number ot the Senators who voted for
his relief were not in their seats, but if '
they had been present, it is not probable j
that a two-thirds vote could have been ob- j
tained. The Democrats voted for General ;
Porter’s relief, tho Republicans against it.

It was unfortunate for China, that
the Chinese troops at Langson or
Lang Soz should have attacked, the
French, killing a number of men,
two or three officers and wounding
others. It would appear from later
accounts that those Chinese troops
acted under orders from their govern
ment. Now, China must pay a heavy
indemnity aud make an ample apol
ogy, or be subjected to war. Unless
these tilings tire done it is stated that
France will declare war against Chi
na. How silly it was in the Chinese
Government after concluding a peace
with the loss of a little territory, to
plunge into such a difficulty as this.
France had been lenient beyond
expectation in the previous trouble
between tiie two countries.

tial calculation were Ben Butler, with his

is sowing liis political seed broadcast, anil

a shrewd stroke ot policy at the polls, and
