The popoulation of Macon is 2j,439.
The Supreme*Court"of Georgia has
adjourned until Thursday before the
first Monday inSeptember next.
Tli,> hearts of the Southern people
„o out to ex-President Davis with
earnest prayers for his restoration
iroiu In's present severe illness.
There is poison in the dram cup,
poison in the cigar, poison in the lit
erature '■ Where shall the man of the
world turn for solace and comfort?
The rush to the New Orleans Expo
sition is now greater than it has been
at any time since it opened. The
fcheap railroad fare is what is doing it.
We are indebted to Hon. Thomas
Hardeman for a copy of his speech on
Aid to Common Schools, delivered in
the House of Representatives, Febru
ary 20th.
Ex-President Davis is suffering from
rheumatism and an old wound which
prevents him from walking but other
wise lie is reported to be in good
health.
The estimable wife of Mr. Bridges
Smith, of the Telegraph & Messenger,
died in Macon, on the 1st instant. The
many friends of Mr. Smith tlirough-
out the State sympathise with [him
and his motherless children in their sad
affliction.
Senator Beck is credited with the
purpose to resent with all his vigor the
confirmation of Pearson to be Post
master of New York. Secretary Man
ning is taking steps to add to the effi
ciency of the services and the curtail
ment of expenses.
Matters look less warlike between
England and Russia, yet, it is reported
that the Russians have advanced
within IN miles of Pedjadah.
The French are hurrying large
bodies of troops to Tonquin.
Messrs. Lawton and Howell, like
Gen. Jackson, of Georgia, had made
no application-for an appointment.
All three Georgia appointments to
the foreign service were made at the
instance of the Georgia delegation,
without solicitation on the part o!
either of the gentlemen appointed.
An interesting revival is in progress
at the First Baptist Church in East
Macon. It is being conducted by the
theological students of Mercer Univer
sity, and is attracting universal inter
est. Several have professed conver
sion under the ministry of the stu
dents.
We see it stated that an eminent
dentist, name not given, thinks Gen.
Grant's condition ezines from neglect
ed teeth and not from smoking. His
teeth were all taken out some time
ago but if his condition w as caused by
painful teeth, they were extracted too
late.
Dr. Felton, in the Cartersville Cour-
ant. says:—President Cleveland is ful
filling all promises of reform. Let him
continue t he good work. The people
have unbounded confidence in his abil
ity, honesty and patriotism. Every
man who voted for him will endorse
every act up to the present.
Preston, a rebel leader under Barrios,
has seized the Pacific steamship Colon.
Our goverment has been advised of it,
and will doubtless soon bring them to
satisfactory terms. There has been
son e fighting between the forces of
Barrios and San Salvador. The half
breeds are still causing much trouble
in Canada.
Mrs. Tom Thumb whose marriage
was announced to take place yester
day, April 6th, has $20,000 worth of
diamonds and wears No 6 infant shoes.
In givingadescription of her handsome
trousseau she said: No jewels are worn
by a bride at their first marriage but
diamonds are in quite good taste for a
second, so 1 shall wear mine.
The United States Senate adjourn
ed on the 2nd, sine die. its next reg
ular session will begin next December,
unless sooner convened by the Presi
dent. All appointments made be
tween now and then will be referred
to the December session for confirma-
ion.
President Cleveland will no doubt
visit the Atlanta Commercial Conven
tion ie May. He has never been
{south. and is anxious to visit this sec
tion.
Senators Brown and Colquitt made
strong appeals to him to come for the
good political effect.
He and several of his cabinet will
come, and then Atlanta will open her
gates and spread herself.
The French are a very excitable
people. The Ministry is blamed for
the defeat of Gen’l. Nigrier by the
Chinese, and M. Ferry, the Prime
Minister, comes in for the chief abuse.
We say abused, because he was hooted
at and branded .as a liar and traitor.
The greatest uproar prevailed in the
assembly. M. l)e Freycisnet was
trying to form a Ministry and has
proposed one. 1 f accepted he will be
the Premier. The Assembly are ready
to do now, what they ought to have
done long ago, vote money and troops
enough.
The nomination of Gen. A. R. Law-
' ton to be minister to Russia has been
withdrawn by the President. This
was done because the committee on
Foreign relations had reported it ad
versely, a majority being of the opin
ion that although General Law-
ton had received full pardon and am
nesty from President Johnson in Feb
ruary 1807, yet by the 14th amend
ment to the Constitution he was ineli
gible because his political disabilities
had not been removed by Congress.
The President removed General
Lawton from this unpleasant situa
tion by promptly withdrawing his
name. His disabilities will be remov
ed by congress next fall and the Presi
dent doubtless. will nominate him to
the Senate. Gen. Lawton will be dearer
to the hearts of our people for this de
lay than he was before.
April Has Come.
The cold is going, the bud is in the
bough and the leaf is ready to spring
from the bud. Gladly we take leave
of the bitter winter which has frozen
the blood in our veins, and troubled
us with colds and pains. We look
with pleasure to the bloom of flowers
and nature's juices which till the trees
with leaves to be followed with fruits,
warmer sunshine and exemption from
the pains and aches which have so
long afflicted us. How glad we are
that the mystic changes have come
and we look with pleasure to the
shooting of seeds, the near approach
of flowers and fruits, and the warmth
so much needed to relieve us from
winter's bitter cold. The season has
been sharp and tested the strength of
lungs and the constitutional power to
survive its chilling inroads upon
health and comfort. Winter's sway
is gone and the world is ripe for
change. Snows, tempests, and Hoods,
once more are comparatively over;
the world is ripe for the genial change
and man and beasts have reason to re
joice. The gardens are ready to re
joice in fruits and flowers, and the for
ests will soon rustle their leaves under
warmer skies with glowing suns. The
birds are already on the wing and
chirping their sweet sdngs at the sum
mons of the warm opening spring.
Man. too. enjoys the change and cat
tle are beginning to lift their voices in
the valleys and on the hills. April!
Let the birds sing and man and all
the animal creation rejoice at the
happy change from the severest win
ter that Inis afflicted us for many long
years. We congratulate the farmers,
especially, who have been so long
checked in their work upon which all
business and all trades depend for
their prosperity. April has long been
the poet’s darling, but his work on
her charms has been overdone^

Mountain Scenery.
We were much pleased, recently hi
reading [a description of and the ira-
pressions made upon the writer, by
mountain, scenery in a British maga
zine. We are not confining ourselves
now to the ordinary news and the po
litical movements of the day, but are
seeking in part, to find something that
will afford interest and amusement to
the family circle. If we can find some
thing in nature to afford amusement, •
we gladly avail ourselves of it, for the
enjoyment of our readers. The writer
said he had devoted the best months
of three summers to visiting the High
lands of Scotland, and that he had
walked as many thousand miles among
the hills and mountains of that coun
try. Of all the scenery he had wit
nessed, he was most impressed by the
vales and lakes of Cumberland and the
Highland glens and lochs of Scotland.
The Highlands excelled in wildness
and sublimity, and amidst them, he
wanted no companion, he wanted to
commune with his own soul. For the
sake of brevity we clothe this article
in great part in our own language, ex
cept when we can accomplish brevity
*by using that of the writer for the
magazine. He regretted there was
some cultivation about Loch Pay, for
the wild suits best with the sublime.
Both afforded him the highest enjoy
ment; with one he was captivated, and
full of wonder; with the other he was
astonished and full of contemplation.
The beauty of gently sloping mead
ows, of tall trees with leaves appar-
aled, of every flower that blooms, is as
evanescent as it is fresh, vivid and lux
uriant ; they are more mortal than
ourselves, the modern fair ones of the
day, and decay and death await them
on the morrow. But the unchanged,
the everlasting rocks, the ruins, they
may be of a former world, these are
God's antiquities, the emblems of eter
nity. It is magnitude that gives sub
limity. Had the Colossal Jupiter of
Phidias been diminished to a pigmey's
statue would it have been considered
one of the wonders of the world? No,
it would be wanting in majesty, and
could not, like all stupendous works of
art be an evidence of power. In the
same manner do these mighty works
of Nature speak aloud of Omnipo
tence. Nor is it one mountain's height
alone, but where they “each on others
throng” together with their grand
accompaniments that fill the mind in
tensely; the fearful precipice, the over-
haugiug rocks now dimly seen through
a passing vapor or hidden for a while
behind a mass of black clouds o'er
which may gleam like aerial mon
sters forked and terrific lightnings.
It was Gray who said, alluding to a
cataract in the Highlands, “1 staid
there, not without shuddering, a quar
ter of an hour, and thought my
trouble richly paid, for the impression
will last for life.” Indeed that thrill
ing emotion, felt in the midst of awful
and appalling objects, while at the
same time we are undisturbed by
fears of personal danger, is the Ugli
est mental pleasure, received immedi
ately through the senses, of wUch we
are capable.
Many persons who live in those
mountainous regions, whose imagina
tions are so powerfully assailed by
these wild exhibitions of nature, are
changed into better men. God is seen
in those wonderful works and they are
led even through his works to follow
his commands. They are not. alone
creatures of sensation but of senti
ment. They experience a strouger
excitement in their constant contem
plation of the sublime. It teaches
them the more readily to adore their
Maker, and necessarily, to feel more
kindly towards their fellow creatures.
Nature’s grand and beautiful works
open the heart to pure religion anti
leads to the worship of the maker of
these sublime works. A young colle
gian beholding these wonders of the
highlands was seen to stamp his foot
upon the ground and exclaim, “How
grand 1 how beautiful! how great is
God !'’ He was under 14 years of age
and the writer whose article we are
feebly portraying observed: “My
child, where was your skipping rope,
vour game at cricket, your muckle
down at tan? What! all forgotten,
all your past times left beUnd, as if
they were nothing worth, that you
might take your solitary wanderings
banqueting like an angel, amidst such
scenes as these ? And was there no
little friend, no loving play-fellow to
bear you company ? Or did you rath
er choose to hold a lonely converse,
and that in her severest moods ? Alas!
my bright cUld, the world may be cruel
to you. pity you as an idiot, or start
from vou as a madman; or they may
be in their way kind as the humor of
the ilay may suit and bow their heads,
and call you glorious, wonderful!”
The poet Keats walked in the High
lands, not with joyousTWss, but in
that hallowed pleasure of the soul,
wUch in its fullness is akin to pain.
The following extract of a poem, not
published in his works, proves his in
tensity of feeling, even to the dread of
madness. It was written while on his
journey soon after his pilgrimage to
the birthplace of Burns, not for the
gaze of the world but as a recoril for
himself of the temper of his mind at
the time. It is a sure index to the more
serious traits in his character. But
Keats, neither in writing nor in
speaking could, affect a sentiment—
his gentle spirit knew not how to
counterfeit. 1 leave it without com
ment on its beauties to the reader—
and to his melancholy, as he thinks
upon so young a poet dying of a bro
ken heart.
There is a charm in footing slow,
Across a silent plain,
Where patriot battle has been fought
Where glory had the gain ;
There is a pleasure on the heath.
Where Druids old have been.
Where mantles gray have rustled by,
And swept the nettle green.
There is a ]ov in every spot.
Made known in days of old,
New to the feet, although each tale,
A hundred times be told.
*****
Av, if a madman could have leave,
To pass a healthful day,
To tell his forehead’s swoon and faint,
When first began decay.
*****
One hour half idiot he stands
Bv mossy waterfall,
Butin the Very next he reads
His soul’s memorial.
He reads it on the mountain’s height
Where chance he may sit down
Upon rough marble diadem—
That hill's eternal crown !
\’ot be his anchor e’er so fast.
Room is there for a prayer
That man may never lose Us mind
On mountains black and bare :
That he may stray, league after
league,
Some great birth-place to find.
And keep his vision clear from speck,
His inward sight unblind.

Gen. Grant’s Condition.
Gen. Grant.—In our last issue the
telegraph made us say that Grant was
dead. That was a mistake. He was alive
at last account but wants to die. The
end is expected almost every moment
Among his last acts of life is his sign
ing an application to the president of
the United States for his grand son. a
three year old child of Col. Fred. D.
Grant, to be appointed a cadet to
West Point.
Gen. Grant's Condition.—Some
days he is better, and some worse.
On the 29th Us condition was bad and
it was thought the end was nigh. On
the 30th he was better but very weak.
On the 21st he was still better. He
ate his food well and the physicians
spoke of giving him a drive.
About 5 A. m., April 1st, messengers
were sent in haste for Rev. Dr. New
man and physicians *hurried to the
General's residence. All concurred in
opiniou that the worst was near. Mrs.
Grant became nervous and medicine
was sent for. for her relief. The Gen
eral was growing weaker, the throat
was thickening but the cUef trouble
was with the heart. It was under
stood that he had lost the power of
speech. At 12:25 he was thought to
be sinking rapidly and might die at
any moment. His throat was relieved
and Us condition improved. On the
night of the first he was restless and
walked about from room to room. Two
physicians remained to keep watch
over him. The Union Soldiers Alli
ance passed resolutions of deep sympa
thy united with heartfelt wishes and
earnest prayers that an All-wise ruler
may yet avert the loss a sorrowing
nation would sustain in his death.
Gen'l. Grant was considerably bet
ter on the night of the 2nd. He took
nourishment, gauged Us own temper
ature, and enjoyed the company of his
family.
2:45 a. m., April 5.—General Grant
has slept continually and well. His
pulse is good; the general condition is
unchanged.
General Grant, it is stated, has
recently received a letter of sympathy
from Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, of Virginia,
who spoke for ex-confederate soldiery
in such a kindly manner, as to touch
deeply the recipient of the latter.
OBITUARY.
Died near Dennis Station, on the
night of the Gth of March, ult., Mrs.
Maria Waller, wife of Mr. Win. T.
Waller, in her 36tli year, in great
peace. Death at all times is very sad.
but when one in the prime of life and
in the midst of usefulness, it seems ir
replaceable. She leaves a husband
and six children, a brother and two
fond and loving sisters to mourn her
loss.
She was born in Milledgeville, July
30,1849, and was the youngest daugh
ter of thelate Mathew Hall; she was
deprived, by death, of a kmd mother’s
love and counsel at a very tender age,
but her kind father did all a fond pa
rent could, to raise his children in the
way they should go, and well did he
succeed. She embraced religion, and
joined the First Street Methodist
Church in Macon, Ga., in her 17th
year, I tliink, and from that time, till
the clay of her death, adorned a Chris
tian life in her godly walk and good
example; never very demonstrative in
her religion, but her daily walks, dem
onstrated the fact that she did all she
could, loved the church, and the min
isters thereof.
No husband ever had a| better wife,
no cUldren, a kinder and more loving
mother. She looked well to the ways
of her household and ate not the
bread of idleness. Her husband could
safely trust in her, and have no need
of spoils. Her cUldren, also may
they rise up and bless her, and thank
Heaven for liavrng such a mother.
If good medical treatment and the
very best attention from dear sisters
and other friends, could have stayed
the hand of death, then she had not
died. But the God of her fathers
saw best to take her to Himself; may
he who tempers the wind to the
shorn lambs, guide and protect the
little ones, and when the cares of tUs
sublunary life is over, may they all
form one unbroken family in the sweet
by and by.
A few hours before her departure a
friend asked, “how do you feel in re
gard to your future state?” The
prompt reply was, “Jesus is with
me”. That was enough, so natural for
a dying Christian to make such an an
swer to such an interrogation.
The voice at ten o’clock came.
She started up to hear,
A mortal arrow pierced her frame,
She fell but feared no fear -
In an instant, no doubt, she grasped
the descending arm of her Master
and in a moment her pure spirit was
borne to realms of everlasting day.
Farewell, dear friend, we hope to
meet you again m that house not
made with hands, eternal in the heav
ens, where cyclones, storms, troubles
and death never come. J. M. B.
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee is a candidate
for Governor of Virginia.
A man, his wife and little child
died of meningitis in Houston county
recently. All died the same day.

Card of Mr. John H. Ferry.
We refer with much pleasure to the
card of Mr. John H. Ferry, which will
be found in another column. In his
recherche and brilliant establishment
will be found everything in the line of
jewelry, watches, rings, pin-- and oth
er materials, suited to various tastes,
and consisting of the choicest materi
als. On his counters are enclosed ma
terials used In making the tiaras of
queens and kings. A lady's boudoir
is incomplete without the golden and
diamond rings which his long expe
rience and critical taste selects for the
use of his many friends and customers,
and which, we may add, he offers to
them in his refined and genial way,
making it a pleasure to deal with him.
It is superfluous for us to commend
Mr. Ferry to those who know him,
but we do commend him, warmly, to
all our country readers in this and the
surrounding counties. He is a fair
trader and will tender you the best at
the cheapest prices.
The people of Georgia deeply - regret
that Geu. Lawton is temporarily de
prived of the appointment as minister
to Russia. He is on the list with Ex-
President Davis and Toombs, as un
pardoned Rebels. His disabilities
will be removed at the next session of
congress and he will then go as the
Minister Plenipotentiary to Russia,
but Davis and Toombs will go down
to their graves as unpardoned rebels.

THERE MAY BE A FEW
Who Still Doubt.
If so they will find in our cilice many
such letters as the following, but none
that are entitled to more consideration:
With my experience I pronounce
Brewer’s Lung Restorer,
the best lung remedy made. Four of my
brothers and sisters had died with con
sumption, and about three years ago I
became so exhausted by a long continued
cough, accompanied with low fever and
night sweats, that I could barely get about
and my friends gave up all hope. I cough
ed so tucessantly that I could uot sleep at
all. After trying several lung medicines,
I began the use of
Brewers Lung Restorer
and was greatly benefited by the first bot
tle, gaining fleRh and strength and resum
ing work. I continued to take it and am
as stout now as I ever was, rarely ever
cough nor do I suffer with my lungs any
moro than if they never had been affected.
I am neve'r without a bottle or It in my
house. During the winter I give it to my
little children, even a little fellow three
years old. for anything like common colds
or when they show any evidence of croup
and always with the most satisfactory re-
salts. Very truly, ^ ^ HUGELY,
