• ‘Les Bavanls ”
Another immonso audience greeted the
Cbaruiiog and graceful lietiie burlesque ac
tress Mrs. Oates and her talented company
last evening, on the occasion of the produc
tion of Offenbach’s crowning success, “Les
Bavards.” The piece is brimful oft merri
ment, comical and ludicrous situations, and
replete with choice music, which, as usual,
was rendered in excellent style by the: splen
did vocalists of the troupe. Mrs. Oates as
“Boland,” the young adventurer, was what
jlte always is-beautifying, bewildering-
immense, and kept her numerous admirers
ingood humor throughout.
Sir. W. H. Crane as “Sarmiento,” the be
ds Benedict, was simply huge. There
js resisting Crane’s jollity, it is'conta-
■ you might as well attempt to bail
out the Sava.’iuah river with a teaspoon as
to try and main tain a sober faco when ho is
on the stage. There is no use, you are
bound to laugh. Some -do more; for in
stance, the gamin in the third tier “pit on

J. Howsea as “Beatrice” makes a number
one girl of the period. His—her—make-up
last night was stylish; and such a cliatter-
dm—well, we have heard that “women” had
long tongues. “Beatrice” proves it Next.
c . q Brew as “Christohai” was excellent,
as also Mr. J. H. Jones as “Teiribio,” his
clerk.
iliss Kate Frazier ss “Inerz,” Sarmientu *
niece, wan piquant and amusing, and, iu
fact, the entire company wc-ro on their best.
The performance concluded with the “T wo
fi*uddi/oots'’ which was a fitting finale to
such a hilarious evening.
The performance to-night will consist of
Blanche's musical comedy, the “Flower Girl
«?f Paris.”

Scarcity of Beef.
We observed, in a stroll through tho market
yesterday morning, that good beef id very
scarce just now, in fact there is scarcely any
in tho market. The best display we saw
was on the stalls of Messrs. Agnew A Debele,
bat so great has been the run on them that
therafo bard pushed to supply orders. They
are. bom vor > expecting daily a largo supply
of choice Western beef, and will doubtless
have it in time before their present stock is
exhausted, so there w n ) necessity for their
numerous customers to feel uneasy. Tho
heavy snow storms and severe weather have
interrupted, in a measure, rapid transporta
tion, hence the light market. The well-
inown energy of Jlessrs. Agnew A Debeie.
however, convinces us they will be equal to
4he emergency, and wiil spare no expense to
have their supply here ic time.
A Sew Firm.
By reference to our ad vertisement column-
it will be seen that our young and enter
prising townsmen, Mr. C, H. Morel and
Mr. 11. L. Mercer, have formed «. copartner-:
ship under the name and style of Mir el &
Mercer, for the transaction of a general
commission, gram aud staple .grocery busi
ness at No. 75 Bay street. These gentle
men are well and favorably known in our
community, and were formerly connected
as members of the firm with the house of
0. W. Anderson & Co. They are conversant
with ^he details of the business, and are
ahrewd, practical, liberal and enterprising,
and folly deserving of public patronage.
The Georgia Medical Society met last eve
ning at Armory Hall, in honor of their sixty-
ninth anniversary. A full representation of
the Society was present, together witk the
students of the College, aud some invited
guests.
On the platform the officers of tfie Society
and the Speaker of the evening, together
with the Committee, were seated in a semi
circle in the following order:
Dr. J. D. Fish, the retiring President of
the Society who, in acftordanq^ with custom,
was to deliver an essay; in the centre; to liis
right, Dr. J. C. ^eHardy, President, Dr.
Win. M. Charters, Vice-President, Dr. It. P.
Myers, Secretary, and Dr. R. J. Nunn, Libra
rian; to his left the Committee of Arrange
ments, consisting of Drs. Martin, Smith and
Habersham.
About eight o’clock the Society was called
to order aud tho President, Dr. Le Hardy,
introduced, iu a few pertinent remarks, the
retiring officer and speaker, Dr. J. D. Fish,
who read a highly interesting essay on
Hygiene, and the importance of sanitary
measures as regards public health. We
regret that it is not in our power to lay this
able paper entire before our readers, as we
feel assured that they would derive from its
perusal the same pleasure and interest
which we did in hearing it read, but as the
writer differed with us in this opinion, we
are unable to do so, and can only present an
imperfect sketch of it, noted down whilst
it was being read, which falls far short
of doing it justice. The difficulty of
keeping pace with even a slow reader
is much greater than following a speaker *;
hence the sketch which we give is a mere
shadowing of the essay, which was beauti
fully written and replete with sound, practi
cal arguments and logical reasoning.
Dr. Fish is a fluent reader and very dis
tinct in his enunciation, and the essay was
listened to with deep attention. He an
nounced his theme to be
PUBLIC HEALTH.
The reader commenced with an allusio^
to tho occasion of the assembling in honor
of the anniversary of an institution which
is closely identified with the material inter
ests of our community—the Georgia Medi
cal Society. The. subject of his essay—Pub
lic Health—was one in which all were vitally
interested. It was entirely distinct from in-
dividual‘health, and yet, was in great meas
ure dependent solely upon it. Every' indivi
dual contributes his portion to the aggregate
which ferms the basis of- public health.
Tho connection of the public health with
public morals, virtue aud commercial great
ness was touched upon and clearly estab
lished in a plain, practical measure. IF,
then.^the problem be admitted that public
or national healtli is intimately associated
with a state cf morality, virtue, sobriety,
aud a disregard to the laws of nature, it wili
be found that weakness and vice are indis
solubly connected with the lack of it. Na
tions in this respect are but like individuals.
Habits of the people, good or bad, moral or
vicious, are propagated through individuals,
and in their results give birth to the great
blessing of communities—Public Health.
National Health! What is it and what

State and National — towards it ? The
speaker alluded to the fact that family
constitutions aud diseases were here
ditary, but that was no reason why mul
titudes forming cities might not be protect
ed from tho evils of contagious disease.
There was no time now, however, to consider
fully' the relative connection of tho heredi
tary taint of family constitutions with this
causes of disease in the community. The
health of individuals constituted the public
health, and the learned professions accu
rately marked out the duties of the Govern
ment toward it in fostering means for sus
taining .and increasing it.
Tho sole question open now was how is
this matter to be controlled ? It were im
possible to realize the factors in all the
elements of public health. Take, for in
stance, the average native American, his
habits, nature, his relations with disease,
and the result forms the terrible question
which he ha B to ask of liis forefathers and
they of theirs, for the violation of tho laws
of physical health. These have beea prac
tically pursued, for Darwin’s theory clearly
proves one thing, that habits of mind and
body' are inherited and Hescend to genera -
tions. Iube^ted good attained may also
be awarded. The close connection between
mind and matter, between the mental and
physical, was clearly defined, and tho supe
rior power of the former, in its bearings
upon health, forcibly portrayed. The great
progress raado by man, and his superiority
over all things laving, no matter through what
stages it has been accomplished, clearly
proves that blind chance has not made us,
and establishes beyond cavilMhe magnitude
of iiie mental powers, and that if physical
infirmities be transmitted from sire to son,
in tlie same ratio have intellectual faculties
.descended from generation to generation.
Tbo groundwork of physical health is,
therefore, 9s much the offspring of mental
as physical guidance* Mental development
and mental activity.aro the most potent in
its acquirement. Upon this problem the
great efforts of philosophers and poets have
been expended.
In the matter of •public j^e$fyh the requi
sites are good sewers and healthy dwellings,
and a purer state of moral sentiment, and
more simple mode of living. Material com
forts, too much regarded, are apt to engen-
$.ep selfishness, and woe and destruction
£Ha jts fall.
• ^fc^ySSTiojc or sickness.
’eaect the question that is
In the p. *gitAte4 is the prevention
is more rational Jtban its
that being made
favorably the
most extensive.,
of sickness, which .
cause, aud the progress
in medical science argues M{jewtio n
early approach of the time whe ^j d j y
will bo directed exclusively »ud >. J ^
this. Already it is exemplified in the
ease of small pox by vaccination, but as yet
the value of similar measure! in other dis
eases does not seem to be realized. The
effect of epidemics on nationB Ad the means
of its prevention were also treated. And
whatever difference of opinion may exist in
regard to tho origin and contagiousness of
disease, there can bo no dispute as to the
effect of food upon health. The time is
rapidly approaching »vlion through these
several causus the duration of individual
lives will be determined with remarkable
accuracy. Already tho life insurance busi
ness, based upon the calculations of careful
statisticians, has furnished mncli valuable
information upon this subject, and what is
true of the individual is also applicable to
communities.
The causes producing certain effects in
the one, operate in the same manner on the
other. The foundation of public health is
sapped in a variety of ways. Various mat
ters operate against if r ignorance and pre
judice, self interest, intolerance of new
ideas and projects, of reform, all tend to
chock popular Knowledge, tho main spring
of the fabric of public health. It is sapped
in so many ways that the catalogue of them
is as long as it is dismal. Bad air, bad
clothes, too many hours at work, glnttonly,
idleness, unsuitable marriages, depression
the result of dissipation and late
hours, inevitably produce disease in
the individuals and hence in com
muni ties. These are the mischief making
elements which operate against a condition
of good public health. If indulged in, time
wiU show exactly the ghastly catalogue of
evils flowing from it. The duty is discover
ing aud enforcing the moans of preventing
such to-permeate the whole frame-work of
public life. If public health be dependent
upon such causes as described the remedy
should be applied.
The speaker called attention to the con
dition to the great Metropolitan cities where
every phase of virtue and of crime has ex
istence, and the physical change consequent
upon them. The responsibilities of good
1 aublic health rest upon four classes. The
1 iw-makers, the physicians, the ministers,
a id teachers, and the.people, whoso par
ticular duties were each briefly touched
u Don, and tho importance of liberal statn-
torv provisions, faithful guardianship of life,
anil skillful combativeness with disease, the
inculcation of good morals and pure prin
ciples, and, lastly, a faithful adherence to
sanitary laws and regulations, and fostering
o popular and univ- rsal education and
kirowledse were each in turn commented
upon by the speaker as necessarv to the ex
istence aud maintenance of the national
health.
Tile effect of emotions, the will, the mere
act of reason upon the physical health was
glowingly described, instances being cited of
the excess to which dancing was carried by
the inhabitants of some countries in the
fourteenth centliry, producing emotional
madness and subsequently death. The ne
cessity of maintaining an even temper, re
garding hygienic laws, giving full plav to
the mental and physical faculties, without
rushing to extremes, in order to acquire and
preserve perfect health, was discussed in a
most entertaining, practical and rational
manner, as also the subject of compulsory
education, as adopted in Germany and other
European countries.
The increase in the moral and physical
well being of the people of England as the
result of the ably directed efforts of the
excellent health department of that country
was ably used as an argument in favor of the
better support and encouragement of similar
institutions generally.
In our country, Boston and New York, of
the large Metropolitan cities, alone boast of
an Independent Health Department, and
these have done much for the protection of
their respective communities from disease
by their sanitary and hygienic measures.
The importance of these measures was dwelt
upon and fully exemplified by a review
of the laws of material nature, the changed
condition of faculties, whether for good or
evil, which is progressing with*unprecedent-
ed rapidity, superinduced by the increased
facilities for bringing people of different
climes and sections, nature, habits and cus
toms in close and constant intercourse.
Every attempted rebellion against the inex
orable laws of nature or violation of their
provisions ^either by individuals or commun
ities,must assuredly end in evil, distress, suf
fering aud disease, and only material bene
fits can be derived from wisely devised sani
tary measures.
At the conclusion of the reading of this
able and interesting essay, the Society ad
journed to Dr. LeHardy’s office, over J. N.
Theus & Co.’s, in the adjoining rooms of
which the animal supper was to take place.
A feature in the celebration of tlii§ anni
versary was tho inauguration of •
“Getting Into a Sr rape.'
Among the numerous popular phrases
which have been in use for ages, none are
i more generally used than the one which
captions this paragraph. Many of our read-
i ers hive, doubtless, experienced the facility
of “getting into a scrape” who have never
given a thought to the origin of the term,
aud yet the history connected therewith is
quite interesting.
The phrase involves the use of au English
word quite different from the proper one,
and appears to be a mystery to English lexi
cographers :
“Todd, in his additions to Johnson, points
to skrap, .Swedish, and quotes from Lye,
‘Drags en in i scraeper—to draw any one
into difficulties.’ But it may be asked, what
is the derivation of the Swedish phrase ?
It is as likely that the Swedes liav# adopted
our phrase as we have adopted theirs. It
may be suspected that the phrase*is one of
those which are puzzling in consequence of
their having originated in special local cir
cumstances, or from some remarkable oc
currence.
“There is a game called golf, almost pe
culiar to Scotland, though also frequently
played upon Blackheath, involving the use
of a small, hard, elastic ball, which is driven
from point to point with a variety of wooden
and iron clubs. In the North, it is played
for the most part upon downs (or links) near
the sea, where there is usually abundance of
rabbits. One of the troubles of the golf-
player is the little hole which the rabbit
makes in $he sward, in its first efforts at a
burrow ; this is commonly called a rabbit's
scrape, or simply a scrape. When tho ball
gots into a scrape, it can scarcely be played.
The rules of most golfing fraternities, ac
cordingly, include one indicating what is al
lowable to the player when he gets into a
scrape. Here, and here alone, as far as is
known to the writer^ bas the phrase a direct
and intelligible meaning. It seems, there
fore, allowable to surmise that this phrase
has originated amongst tho golfing societies
of the North, and in time spread to tho rest
of the public.”
A CONVERSAZIONE—MEDIC ALE,
similar to the gatneringB which mark the
annual meeting of the Medical Fraternity in
Europe, where the physicians meet for con
sultation and advisement and an examina
tion and test of the various new surgical in
struments, works, &c., which have been in
troduced into use or made their appoarandb
since their last meeting, each physician
bringing such new additions as ho has ac
quired for use in his branch of tho profes
sion. These conversaziones are not only in
teresting but very profitable and edifying to
the members.
At tho one last evening which took place
in Dr. LeHardy’s office, a fine display of in
struments, anatomical specimens, works, Ac.,
Was made, principal of which were a micros
cope of great power, a pair of obstetrical in
struments but recently introduced, a large
.number of surgical instruments of every
description and a variety of interesting,
works and anatomical preparations. There
was a full attendance of the members of the
Socioty, and some interesting experiments
were made.
At about a quarter to ten o’clock the So
ciety adjourned to the
SUPPER BOOM,
where a splendid banquet, prepared by that
prince of caterers, the enterprising proprie
tor of the Bull streot restaurant and cafe, Mr.
L. R. Collini, awaited their attention. The
table presented a most tempting and inyi-
ting appearance and was arranged in a very
artistic and pleasing style, the principal
dishes, boned turkey, ham, rock-fish, etc.,
being dressed in the most beautiful style*
The company were soon seated, then
“Dire was the clang of plates, of knife and
fork
That merc’less fell like tomahaws to work,”
and ere ceased until appetite was cloyed
with the delicacies and luxuries, and sought
refreshment in the flowing bowl of bright
and glorious punch. Of course doctors,
though usual grave and sedate as their
professional dignity requires, can yet
be convivial, jovial, full .of wit and
humor, and this pleasant gathering
gave full scope for the clash of kean intellec
tual repartee, and witty sallies; toasts,songs,
jokes, anecdotes formed the feast of reason
which followed quickly on the substantial
banquet, and good humor was the presiding
genius. The 69th’ Anniversary was most
plsasantlv celebrated, and we wish the hon
orable Society, its worthy, valued and use
ful members many happy returns of the-
festive occasion. At what hour the disci
ples of Escanlapius sounded a truce to this
conviviality we know not, but probably when
they did,bright eyes looked bright to bright
er oyes which looked bright again, as tho
immortal poet has it, and bright in remem
brance will the occasion be held.
Recorder’s Court.
His Honor, the Recorder, held his usua
levee yesterday, but nothing of particular
interest marked the proceedings. The fol
lowing parties were summoned before the
Bar of Justice, and their offences carefully
considered:
Andrew Kiting got on a regular “bum”
and made Yamacraw tremble, by his un
earthly howls. For this sport the boister
ous Andrew forked over $5, and pensively
departed.
R. D. Pherson, charged with fighting, was
dismissed.
M. McJilton, Barney Grass and Robert
Lawton, tho latter of Ethiopian hue,
were arraigned for over indulgence in the
fiery fluid, whjcli doth both cheer aud in
ebriate, and will retire from the curions
gaze of the public for the next ten days.
John Plunney and Thomas King having
allowed their angry passions to get the*bet-
ter of them, were given fifteen days in the
home of the friendless, iu order to reflect
upon the enormity of their offences.
Henry Money, a colored slumberer, was
fined $5 for stretching his weary limb% upon
a comfortable stoop, and David Scott, like
wise a colored brother, made too much noise
in his house and was fined $10, after which,
the court with great dignity adjourned. -*

The Week of Prayer.
The meetings at the several churches of
our city, in tli,e observance of the week of
prayer, which commenced on Sunday, last,
aud of which full merilion has been made,
have been very well attended. Tho services
are interesting and impressive, and the
season will, no doubt, result iu much profit,
spiritually, to those who are regular in its
observance. Tho following topics have been
suggested as suitable for exhortation and-
prayer on the successive days of the meet
ing, commencing with Wednesday:
Wednesday.—Prayer for families; for
sons and (laughters of Christian parents: for
a blessing on home influence and on the
services aud ordinances of “The Church of
God;” for tbo schools, colleges and univeasi-
ties; for children at sea or in foreign lands;
for young men in business and professions;
for servants, and for all sickness and tribu-

Conrt House Sales.
Tho attendance at toe regular monthly
sales at the Court House yesterday was very
good, but bidders were Bcarce. Tho sale of
real estate seemed out of the quostion, and
notwithstanding there were a number of eli
gible pieces nt 4 property offered, the holders
of greenbacks’ could not be induced to plank
down. The eloquence of auctioneers was
wasted upon the unappreciative crowd.
The County Sheriff sold one piece of pro
perty belonging to Mrs. Zeigler, for $2,300.
Messrs. J. McLaughlin A Son sold several
horses ranging in price from $93 to $125, and
some mules at $80 and $135. Also, twenty
shares of Central Eailroad stock.
Messrs. Bell, Sturtevant A Co. disposed of
a lot of horses from $30 to $90, a gold watch
for $27, rockaway for $10, and a buggy for
$30.
.Magistrate of tlic Seventh District
Election to be Contested.
Henry Bieber has been elected Magistrate
of the Seventh District by a majority of firfV
votes.
We understand that Lewis J. Moody, who
was a candidate for the office, is determined
to contest tho election, and is circulating a
petition for signatures, praying the Gov
ernor not to commission said Bieber, on the
ground that he has been convicted of mis
demeanor in the Superior Court and that he
is a person of bad character.
In the same district, H. Washington and
R. Shepherd, two colored sporters, were*
elected constables. One of these worthies,
H. Washington, we are informed, Can neither
read nor write, and consequently his services
will prove extremely valuable to tho denizens
of that district. They are to bo congratula
ted on the election of such a highly efficient
server of warrants aud grabber of furniture.
Well, after all, there’s nothing like having
these intelligent “wards” in good positions.
We shall expect great things from H. Wash
ington, and will not be surprised to hear he
has distinguished or extinguished himself.

Determined to Parade.
We mentioned, a few days since, that
among other companies the Johnston Light
Infantry would be disappointed in receiving
their uniforms in time to take part in the
celebration of General Lee’s birthday, 19th
inst. W& are pleased to state now that there is
a slight prospect of their being ready in time
now, but in any event they are determined
to parade if they have to muster in “regular
Georgia uniform”—shirt collar and spurs.
It is to be hoped, however; that the uni
forms of the several companies, not yet com
pleted, will be forthcoming in due time, as
the display would bo rendered much finer.
The day is rapidly approaching, and the
event is looked forward to with great in
terest by our gallant military.

The Old Fourth.
We learn that John Reedy, one of the can
didates for Magistrate in the Fourth Dis
trict, intepdf contesting the right of the lu
minous colored individual, James Porter
who was announced ag elected, to “squat”
in the Magisterial ohfir. There are other
parties backing the contestant, and as it is
claimed that there were some proceedings,
not according to Hoyle, practiced in the
counting of the votes, a lively timo may be
expected.
Stealing Iron.
The traffic in iron still continues brisk, al-
though the enterprising merchants have
prosecuted their labors of late without inter
ruption. Yesterday, however, one of the
African operators, John Richardson by name,
was overhauled by the p*Uce for overstock
ing the market with stolen iron belonging to
the Central Railroad. John was carried be
fore a Magistrate, and after a brief inter-
view was extended an invitation to partake
of the hospitalities of the county for a short
season.
Lumber for *0.111 America.
The British hark New Republic was cleared
yesterday by Messrs. J. H. GraybiU A Co.
for Rio Janeiro, with 3,144 pieces pitch pine
lumber, measuring 379,560 feet and valued
«t $8,002 19.
Ketnrn of the Augusta Sabre Club.
Tho members of the Augusta Sabre Club,
says the Chronicle, arrived at> l+orpe from Sa
vannah on Sunday morning. They aro en
thusiastic in praise of the very kind and hos
pitable reception accorded them by our
whole-souled friends of the Forest City.
Their visit will ever bo cherished as one of
the most pleasing incidents in their experi
ence of elegant social hospitably and public
courtesy.
Interesting to Firemen.
To-day is the last day allowed the Clerk of
the Superior Court by h*w for receiving the
lists of firemen who are entitled to exemp
tion from jury duty by the act of the Legis
lature of - December, 1871. Secretaries of
companies who have not complied will have
to hurry ijp op some of them will have the
pleasure of moping in a jury bo*.
" Will to be Contested.
We understand that the will of Henry Betg-
man, of this city, lately deceased, will be
contested by some of Jie heirs, and that a
hearing of the case has been set for the 16th
instant.
