The handsome fountain lately presented
tie citizens ot Macon by Hon. J. P. King,
0 f Augusta, has been turned over to the
merchants of Cherry and Third streets, and
its ,iy erection at the intersection of
those streets is anticipated.
grave doubts as to the ability of “Pro-
fessor” Cousigney to perform his walking
task in Macon are expressed.
\ Mr. George Alice, of Rochester, N. Y.,
is anxious to establish a manufactory of
wire cloth in Augusta, and has written to a
gentleman of that city to ascertain if his
Khctne would be likely to succeed.
A negro named Phil Gordon committed
suivide on Thursday last by drowning bim-
selfinthe ('hattahoochee river, at the landing
of Mr. George V Banks, about fifteen miles
from Columbus. So cause is given for the
deed, and it is supposed he was laboring un
der an attack of insanity. His sou declared
that somebody had ‘‘conjured” him.
The body of a young babe was found on
Thursday last in the river at the foot of Lee
street, Columbus. The Coroner’s jury re
ported it a case of infanticide. The murderer
is unknown.
It is rumored that Henry Ward Beecher
will lecture in Augusta soon.
Alluding to the report that the Directors
of the Georgia Railroad intended to en
deavor to oust him from his position as
President of the line. Judge King, of Au
gusta, recently stated that he would be well
pleased if some one else was put in his
place, and that he has been desirous of get
ting out of the way for the past five years.
The Macon spring crop of tramps, ac
cording to the Telegraph and Messenger, is
yen- prolific. They come mostly from New
England and the Western States, and that
paper advises the citizens “to see that their
houses are securely locked up at night and
all door' kept closed, as a liat, coat or pro
visions are at a premium with the average
tramp.”
A few days since, as Mr. Peter Yates, of
Sandersville, over seventy years of age, was
returning home his horse ran away, tearing
the wagon in which he rode to pieces, and
throwing him out with much violence. Mr.
Yates was found by bis daughter, Mrs. Ed.
Brooks, in a speechless condition, and thus
he remained for about thirty miuutes. His
face was very bloody and he is badly
bruised, though no limbs, it is thought, are
broken.
The News informs us that several of the
farmers of Berrien county have sown wheat
this year. The prospect for success looks
flattering. Should it escape the rust, the
yield bids fair to be satisfactory. A rust
proof wheat has recently been introduced
in that county, and should it prove indeed
rust proof, Berrien will be numbered with
the wheat growing counties of the State in
a few years. The attempt to grow wheat
there several years ago was finally aban
doned. not more than one crop in five years
escaping the rust; but now, that this new
kind has been introduced, there are hopes it
will prove a success.
The Augusta dogs still give evidence of
very decided biting propensities. A little
boy. about nine or ten years of age, the sou
of Mr. H. Rawls, of that city, was badly
bitten a day or two ago, and he would have
been severely injured if timely assistance
bad not been rendered.
The Oglethorpe Echo announces that very
few idlers are around Lexington this year.
They have all been starved into work.
A reliable gentleman informs the Ogle
thorpe Echo “that there is undoubtedly a vein
of gold running directly through the town
of Lexington ; that he has frequently wash
ed pans of dirt from the public square, and
never fai’ed to find particles of the precious
dost. Jle says that on Troublesome creek,
in the outskirts of town, every pan will
bring a golden yield.” He thinks, however,
it will require an outlay of six dollars to
make one.
According to the Quitman Free Press, a
very excellent fanner living in the Morveu
district undertook a few evenings ago to
<ure his hogs of vermin by’ rubbing them
with eoal oil. He provided himself with a
f*t lightwood torch and commenced work.
I nlockily. just as lie had gotten them well
greased, a spark from his torch fell on the
back of one. and it* an instant he was in a
light blaze. The flames communicated to
the others, and in a few moments the drove
Were running wild, fleeing with lightning
and appearing in the darkness like

bis bacon not only cured, but done up

On Friday, the 15th inst., the mail bag
from Cedartown to Carrollton showed evi
dences of having been tampered with, and
fbe carrier, John C. Stafford, was arrested
account thereof. A subsequent exami
nation into the case, however, resulted in
filing suspicion upon one Joseph H. Lee,
*bo was immediately committed for trial.

J. H. ESTILL, PROPRIETOR.
SAVANNAH, MONDAY, MARCH 25, 1878.
ESTABLISHED 1850.
The Columbus Tima wishes to know
what shall be done in regard to improving
the channel of the Chattahoochee river
about TV olfolk s bend. It is opposed to the
jetty system because it declares that while
jetties remove the sand from one place they
only deposit it in another. It concludes,
therefore, that “as the jetties will not do,
the only thing left is dredging the river,
ihe sand must be gathered and shoveled
out of the river entirely. Until this is done
there is no use of spending thousands of
dollars just to wash it from oue place to
another. It seems that those who have had
the matter of clearing the river in charge
have begun at the wrong end. The cause
should first be removed, and then steps be
taken to prevent its reappearance. With
out removing the first causeofallthetrouble,
the authorities have been expending their
strength trying to prevent its reappearance.”
Already mention has been made in these
columns of a serious difficulty which oc
curred last week between a Mr. J. R. Wil
liamson of Glynn county, and a negro named
Coly (or Coleman) Floyd. From the Bruns
wick Seaport Apjjeal we get the following
particulars of the affair: “Mr. Williamson,
it appears, was driving a horse and wagon
on said road, and as the horse was running,
Floyd, being on the same road and having
met two of Mr. W’s. friends at this point,
proposed to stop the horse, and after doing
so he (Floyd) told Mr. Williamson that the
wagon was broken, and could not be used,
and to take the horse home and that
he would remain with the things in
the wagon, whereupon Mr. Williamson
asked Floyd what he had to do with it. One
word led to another, and the difficulty oc
curred between thetwo men, in which Mr.
VV iiiiamson received a severe cut in the
head and shoulder, and several bruises about
the body. Mr. W., it seems, was then left
in an unconscious condition, and was not
found until the next morning. Floyd also
received several wounds. At this writing
Mr. Williamson is lying in a critical condi
tion, with but little hopes of recovery.
Floyd has been arrested, and is now lodged
in the jail in this city.”
The Cuthbert Southron is inclined to be
conceited. It boasts that “there are more
pretty girls, intelligent young men, finer
stock, more dry goods and' groceries, better
schools, livelier politics and richer guano
sacks in Cuthbert than any place in Georgia. ”
Cuthbert Appeal: “A good many farmers,
we understand, are turning their attention
to cane planting. They have planted a big
area this year, and are confident more money
can be realized from it than any other pro
duce planted on the same amount of land.
They can get from forty to fifty cents per
gallon for syrup, and if the laud is any way
productive, it will make from two to three
hundred gallons per acre. This pays a good
profit.”
Early County News, 2A1: “An attempt
at incendiarism was made in our town on
Monday night last. Between eight and
nine o’clock a negro man, in passing to the
rear of Mr. R. D. Williams’ livery stable,
discovered a blaze of fire close to the hack
end of the house occupied by Mr. W. A.
Buchannon as a sewing machine deposi
tory. With a bucket of water he extin
guished it. It seems to have been placed
there but a few minutes before, and had
merely blackened, but not fired, the hand
ing close by the chimney. The would-be-
ineendiary had fired some pieces of light-
wood and* left the flame to do its work. It
is very evident it was not the work of an
old head. Who the culprit is, is unknown,
but we think it would be no hard matter to
find out.”
The Fairbuni Star says : “It is said that
there is a great and increasing demand for
dried fruit in the European markets. Our
horticulturists might make this a source of
considerable revenue if they would slack up
a little on cotton and give more attention to
the preparing of their fruit for market—not
in the form of brandy, which benefits no
one, but in drying it. Let them give this
their attention the coming season, if the
fruit ‘hits.’ ”
Russian Barbarity.
Four Polish doctors were hanged by
the Russians at Sophia. The Turks left
the town on the approach of the Rus
sians in such haste that they had no time
to remove their wounded; these re
mained in the military ho pitals under
the care of live doctors, who trusted in
the Geneva Convention to protect them.
All the doctors referred to were Poles,
but four of them were Austrian subjects,
and none of them had taken up arms
against Russia. They formed part of
the sanitary department of the Turkish
regular army, and had been permitted to
serve m it by their respective govern
ments. Three of them, doctors of
the Cracow University, were at once
thrown into prison. The fourth,
Dr. Gebhardt, was supposed from
his name to he it German, and he was
employed for a few days as surgeon to
the Russian wounded; hut soon after the
Russians discovered that he was also a
Pole, and he was accordingly sent into
prison with his comrades. In vain did
he prove that he was an Austrian sub
ject, that his elder brother was Secretary
to the Supreme Court of Justice at
Vienna, and that he could not have
taken part in the Polish insurrection of
1863, as he was then only thirteen years
old. He and his three colleagues were
taken to a public square in Sophia and
there hanged. The fifth doctor, M.
Czerwinski, fortunately possessed an
English passport, and this saved his life,
the British Consul having interfered ener
getically on his behalf. Dr. Czerwinski
was present at the execution, and
brought the terrible news to Dr. Geb-
hardPs brother at Vienna.
The West Virginia Horror.
The Wheeling, W. Va.. Register’s spe
cials from Littleton, W. Va., say that
the testimony in the case of George and
John Wallace, charged with the murder
of three persons OB the litth inst., makes
their guilt almost certain. It seems that
John Wallace induced his sister in !?w,
Mr.-. George Wallace, to come to his
house, saying his wife was sick, and
then made improper advances to her.
She attempted to escape, and ran nearly
half a mile, but was overtaken and ki 1-
ed with a hammer. George Wallace,
alias George Baker, says it was John who
did the deed, and told the jury where
the hammer could be found with which
John killed the woman and child.
It was found, covered with
blood, where he said it was.
Blood was also found on John VV allace's
clothes, which be had trial t() wash off.
John came to the town and gave the
alarm after the murder. Each brother
charges the other with having committed
the crime. Both men were arrested and
placed in jaij under a heavy guard. Hun
dreds of people havo (locked to the vi
cinity of the scene of the horror, and one
of the brothers will probably be lynched
before morning. Both men have been
told to make their peace with God and
prepare for death, and everything is in
leadiness for their execution. It seems
that the murderer took the three months
old child by the feet and dashed its brains
Out against a tree.
A Woman's Views I'con- Cremation.
"Don’t tell me nothing of the kind,”
said she vigorously to her husband, who
was reading the account of a recent cre
mation service to her; “ it is only a vile
device for setting an unfortunate wife
away secretlv to a lonely spot and killing
her, and burning up the remains, so that
her’ husband can frisk off and marry
sume one else, and no one ever know
nothing about the murder. I know all
about it; betides, ’tisn't possible to get
a furnace as hot as they say it was.
"But, my love,” said her husband,
" here it is in the papers, that the fur
nace was heated to a heat of 1,400 de
grees.” " Fourteen hundred idiots," said
she contemptuously; “and any child
with a nose—I mean with an eye on its
face—could have told you by just look
ing at the thermometer that it can’t be
any hotter than 212 degrees '."—Chicago
Tribune.
Mr. Moodv. addressing young converts
in his Springfield meeting, advised them
to avoid Free Masonry, Odd Fellowship,
novel reading, horse racing, card playing,
theatres, and business partnerships, and
marriage with unconverted persons. Con
cerning the latter he was very decided,
saying be hoped for the time when cler
gymen would refuse to join such persons
in marriage, as Mr. Spurgeon now does.
In the spring the husband yearneth
For his other suit of clothes,
And he searcheth through the garret
And he swears and bumps his nose.
In the spring the young wife's fancy
Turneth back in wild despair.

From Russia's Hands.
Tlie “Times” on the Proposed New-

By Cable to the Mornina Netcs.
London, March 23.—A special to the
Times from St. Petersburg says: “Rumors
are in circulation that Russia has demanded
that the British fleet quit the Sea of Mar
mora immediately.” The correspondent be
lieves the report, although exaggerated, is
not entirely unfounded. Minister Layard’s
opposition to the embarkation of Russian
troops at Bajukdere has caused great irri
tation.
The inspired article in the Journal de St.
Dtcrsburg attracts much attention. It points
to the continuance of the fleet in the Sea of
Marmora in defiance of international law,
and asks if it is not time to ask England
what she really wants. Europe should call
England before her judgment seat and sum
mon her to re-enter the sphere of interna
tional law by quitting the straits and formally
engaging not to return. Some official hints
are given that if England does 'not wish to
attend the Congress it will meet without
her.
In connection with the foregoing intelli
gence, it should be stated that rumors were
circulating in the lobbies of Parliament last
night that the tone in English official cir
cles is decidedly warlike.
A telegram from Vienna, received in
Paris, states that Roumania has refused to
receive her independence at the hands of
Russia, or permit the passage of the Rus
sian troops through her territory during the
occupation of Bulgaria.
The Paris correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph hears that Russia has forced
Turkey to acquiesce iu a recent agreement,
according to which Russia would assist
Turkey against the Greeeian-Euglish com
bination, or against the entry of the British
fleet to the Bosphorus or Dardanelles, largely
diminish the indemnity and guarantee the
integrity of remaining Turkish territory, re
ceiving in return directory powers over the
revenues of the Porte.
The Times says an order for new torpedo
vessels for the navy has been distributed
among the various ship builders, principally
on the Thames. Two firms have undertaken
the contract for eight thousand torpedo
sinkers, their average weight to be eleven
hundred pounds. They are being stowed
away in various parts of the Royal Arsenal
at Woolwich, convenient for shipment to
stations at home and abroad.
The Russians are having one hundred
torpedo boats built on the model of those
purchased in England, but no part of the
order has come to this country, as interna
tional complications might hinder its ful
fillment.
The London correspondent of the Man
chester Guardian telegraphs that the gov
ernment has purchased from Sir Wm. Arm
strong four one-hundred-ton guns at a cost
of $80,000 each, and negotiations are pro
ceeding for a number of smaller weapons
identical ^yith those already in the sendee.
The same firm, as also Whitworth «fc Co.,
have accepted contracts to a large
extent for the supply of iron gun
carriages, to be completed at an early date.
Great exertions are being made in the car
riage department at the Woolwich Arsenal
in the preparation of wagons for the trans
port service. Several other contracts for
army stores are in course of completion, no
tably one for a large number of pack sad
dles. Messrs. Defriese Co. are executing
an order for hospital ware to the amount of
$50,000.
The London correspondent of the Edin
burgh Scotsman says the landing of a force
on the Asiatic side of the Sea of Marmora
has unquestionably been considered by the
government, and railway material, to be laid
in a parallel with the Bosphorous, has been
purchased.
The mortality among the Russians In Bul
garia is very great, principally from fever.
The typhus fever is increasing at Con
stantinople, Bucharest and Tumu Magurell.
The Times, in a leading editorial this
morning, says: “The treaty proposes the
creation of a new State in the Balkan penin
sula which would dwarf all others, and
which, supported by external influence,
would inevitably strangle all other interests.
The new Bulgaria would extend consid
erably beyond the limits within which the
Slay population is predominant. Wherever
the presumed limits of such preponderance
were not so incident with a good geo
graphical boundary the boundary line
has been pushed forward to the In
jury of other populations and States. The
general lesult U that the new principality
would occupy the whole v.eptrcl mass of
the peninsula, forming a State in compari
son with which Servia and Montenegro
would be insignificant, and reducing the re
maining possessions of Turkey to an ab
surdity. Europe cannot avoid very grave
doubts whether such an arrangement would
be either just or exempt from the danger of
great future disturbances.”
Berlin, March 23.—The North German
Gazette says it is evident that Russia regards
war with England as inevitable, and knows
she was ueyex heeler able to wage it than

THE FATE OF THE CONGRESS UNCERTAIN.
London, March 23.-A Reuter telegram from
Vienna says the British Cabinet requires a de
claration from Russia that the communica
tion pf the instrument of peace to the
powers is equivalent to its formal presenta
tion to the Congress. The Russian Cabi
net, however, considered that by mak
ing the above mentioned communication
it fulfilled international duties, and is
less inclined to agree to a special pre
sentation of the treaty to the Congress,
inasmuch as by making known all the con
ditions of peace it affonied each power the
opportunity of making the separate pro
visions of the treaty the subject of Euro
pean deliberation. An pnderstanding upon
this point has not yet been reached until it
is decided the fate of the Congress is un
certain.-
Vienna, March 23.—In the Hungarian
Delegation Count Andrassy said it was in
tended that the Congress should meet at the
end of March, but in the meanwhile some
preliminary questions had arisen hetweep
England and Russia, and it is impossible
tow to state the date of meeting with cer
tainty.
THE GREAT WALKING MATCH.
London, March 23.—At twelve minutes
after twelve o’clock this afternoon O’Leary's
score was 490 miles, Vaughan’s 468, Brown’s
443, and George Ides, of North Woolwich,
381. All the contestants in the match were
on the track at that hour, but were toiled
out at immense intervals from the leaders.
O'Leary seems much distressed, but is walk
ing steadily. Vaughan appears fresh, and
is running. At two o'clock O’Leary com
pleted his 497th mile. At the same hour
Vaughan had walked 473 miles, and Brown
447. O'Leary’s last mile was walked in sev
enteen minutes and forty seconds, and
Vaughan’s in sixteen minutes.
4 p. m.—At 3 o’clock thi3 afternoon
O’Leary had traveled 501 miles, Vaughan
478, and Brown 452. The time occupied by
O'Leary in completing his last mile was fif
teen minutes. Vaughan walked his 478th
mile in thirteen minutes.
6 i*. m.—At 5 o’clock this afternoon
O’Lean' had finished 508 miles,Vaughan 487,
and Brown 403. O’Leary's last mile was
walked in sixteen miuutes fifty-eight sec
onds. and Vaughan’s in thirteen minutes
ten seconds.
6:30 p. m.—O’Leary’s score at 6 o’clock
was 512 miles. Lp to the same hour
Vaughan had completed 493 miles and Brown
468. O’Leary is lame but game. Ten thou
sand people are present at Agricultural
Hall, and the excitement is great.
Later.—O’Leary won the walking match,
walking until 8:10 p. m., when he com
pleted the 520 miles and two laps. Vaughan
retired at 7:38, after completing 500 miles.
O’Leary was declared winner amid bound
less excitement and enthusiasm.
REVIEW OF THE LONDON MARKETS.
London, March 23.—The Mincing Lane
markets experienced few changes during the
past week. There were no changes in the
direettion of improvement, rice and sugar
excepted. The cargoes of new Burmah rice
for shipment further advanced. Low su
gars, under the influence of speculative de
mand, are again rather dearer. Other descrip
tions show no material alteration. French
loaves are firmer. The prospects of this
year’s Cuba crop are considered less promis
ing than of late. Saltpetre, although quiet,
maintains last week’s rates. Coffee is well
supplied. Prices have rather given way for
all but the finest qualities. Low and 'ordi
nary are inactive. Ihe Dutch sale on next
Wednesday will consist of 95.400 bags of
Java, and valuations of good ordinary are
fixed on a lower basis than in February.
Tea shows no material alteration. The
demand is still very moderate. Spice is
dull, with large stocks, quotations tending
downward.
The Financier says a quieter feeling
prevails in the discount market. Choice
acceptances at suitable dates are taken at a
fraction under the Bank of England rate,
two per cent. The week opened with fall
ing prices on the Stock Exchange but closes
with comparative firmness. The changes
however are slight, and are likely to remain
60 until the Eastern question is settled.
There has been less movement in Americans
than for some weeks past; priees are little,
if any, lower despite continued shipments
of stocks to New York.
FATAL. STEAMBOAT EXPLOSION.
Poughkeepsie, N. Y., March 23.—The
steamer Magenta blew up opposite Scar
borough this morning. Alfred Reynolds, of
Sing Sing, and one unknown man were
killed. Another unknown person was blown
overboard. Richard Lowe, of Sing Sing,
was fatally scalded and five others badly
scalded.
New York, March 23.—The steamboat
Magenta left Haverstraw at twenty minutes
of seven o’clock, landed at Sing Sing, and
took aboard a large number or passengers
and started on her way to New York. At
ten minutes past seven she had steamed out
in the stream two miles, when the passen
gers were startled at hearing a slight noise
around the steam chest. Before they could
decide what was the cause a terrible explo
sion occurred, and the vessel was filled
with steam. The passengers in the after
part of the boat rushed forward and were
met by the escaping steam, which scalded
many. In their frantic efforts to emerge from
the blinding vapor a scene of the wildest
terror followed. When the steam cleared
away there was found lying in the forward
cabin, near the stove, the bodies of a dozen
men. Two were dead and eight were badly
and two fatally scalded.
MASS MEETING OF COTTON OPERATIVES.
London, March 23.—A great mass meet
ing of cotton operatives was held to-day at
Blackburn. Two thousand were present
besides the delegates from the manufactur
ing towns and villages of northeast Lan
cashire. Four resolutions were carried
unanimously—the first regretting the action
of the employers in proposing a ten per
centage reduction; the second pledging
Workmen to accept a rate of wages
equal to that in towns where a
reduction was recently accepted; the third
declares if employers persist the workmen
will resist to the utmost any reduction,
except with a corresponding reduction in
working hours, and the fourth adjourns the
meeting to April 13. In the meantime de
putations will urge the masters to resort to
short time in preference to a reduction of
wages.
WASHINGTON NOTES.
Washington. March 23.—The President
has approved the bill granting American
register to foreign-b jilt vessels for the use
of the Woodruff scientific expedition.
Secretary Sherman is sending advertise
ments of*his bonds to nineteen hundred
Postmasters throughout the country, with
the request that they be posted conspicu
ously in their offices. It is thought in shrewd
circles that the object in view could be more
cheaply accomplished by using the adver
tising columns of the newspapers.
E.X. Ware has been appointed Deputy
Collector of Customs at Key West, Florida,

EXECUTION OF COLORED MURDERERS.
Abbeville, Ala., March 23.—.Terry,
Isaac and Jacob Childs, negroes and broth
ers, were hanged here yesterday for the
murder of Mrs. Yon in 1876, iu presence of
about ten thousand people. Jerry was calm
aud collected, showing no sign of emotion,
excepting a dark scowl on his face, but Ja
cob and Isaac apparently suffered the tor
tures of the damned. Jerry stood erect,
and told his siqry without hesitancy. He
said they were innocent, blit that Isaac Hal-
tls, the* prosecutor, knew who killed Mrs.
Yon, for he had offered him (Jerry) one
hundred dollars in the month of October
previous to her death to kill her.

Liqueurs Made from Citrus Juiee.
From the Weekly News.
Many liqueurs made from the citrus,
chiefly sour oranges and limes, are ex
ported from the Wc*3t Indies to foreign
ports. Few of these come to the United
States, owing to the high duty charged
on them. Of these the most valued is
shrub, which consists of only’three ingre
dients—lime juice, sugar and rum—in
proportions of one, two and three, that is
to say one measure of lime juice to two
of sugar and three of proof rum. The
limes are squeezed with the peel on to
give the shrub an aromatic flavor, and
the whole ingredients placed in a cask,
which is frequently rolled, to mix up tlie
materials. The sugar used is the com
mon brown Muscovado, and the rum is
double the strength of any whisky made
in the United States. The mixture should
be kept three years before being used,
and it improves by lieing kept in the
wood. It is a dark rich color, and pours
out like oil. with a flavor of burnt sherry.
The chief ingredients are so expensive
that much less is made now than form
erly, when every estate put up one hun
dred or two hundred gallons for planta
tion use every year.
“Sauta,” or 4 'Orthodoc” punch, es it is
called by those renegades who have no
fear at icligion before their eyes, and
who assert that ministers of the Gospel
are partial to this concomitant, is made
with the addition of water—as they
rhyme it:
‘‘One of sour, two of sweet.”
“Three of strong and four of weak.”
The same as shrub, with the addition of
four measures of water to every one of
lime juice, two of sugar and three o*
rum. It should either be drank the
same day it is made or laid over to age
in the wood. At Christmas day in the
West Indies in former days the slaves
were regaled with this. Of course it
tended to make them merry, as it will do
to any one, either white or colored. It
improves by age and is a lighter color
than shrub with mqch the same flavor.
Ginger wine is made as follows: For
a twenty gallon cask take six pounds
dried ginger, ten gallons of water, five
quarts of lime juice, one quart of milk,
forty pounds of sugar, five gal
lons of proof rum. Bruise the
ginger and boil it in water
until the strength is extracted, adding
four ounces of cinnamon; stir in the
sugar while the liquor is hot, then add
the lime juice and strain the whole into
your cask; throw in the rum and milk;
stir once a day for three weeks; then
fine with the whites and shells of four
eggs. Let it stand for six weeks and it
will be fit for use. This is the tipple that
tickles the palace qf the Russians and
Turks; thev like it pretty hot of ginger.
All the above drinks are much used in
the West Indies, mixed with water, as a
refreshing beverage. Some people con
sider a quart of guava juice added to the
cask of ginger wine improves the flayer.
Orange wine is made by using the juice
of the sour orange instead of limes, and
more in proportion, also leaving out the
ginger.
Writing on these matters reminds me
of a story told by an old West Indian ship
Captain with whom I was well acquaint
ed and who I will call Captain Jack.
The pilots in the English channel are
a rough, weather beaten set of fellows,
almost as broad as they are long. Invari
ably as they board a West Indian sugar
ship, they go down iqto the cabin to toss
off a half pint, or more, of raw Jamaica
rum. Captain Jack noticed that how
ever strong the spirits might be, they
never even coughed. He got the mana
ger of one of the estates, with whom he
was acquainted, to put up a demijohn of
the strongest rum that could be made,
and tried it on the pilots, without effect.
He determined not to be conquered. Now
there is growing in Jamaica a pepper
called the D. 1). If a lady asks what
D. D. means, of course it is “Doctor of Di
vinity. ” Men have another name for it, the
first word of which is double; the other
I will not shock the delicacy of your
readers by mentioning, but it is a pretty
strong one of three syllables, beginning
with u and ending in n. This pepper is
so strong that the mere raising the skin
with a knife and shaking the blade that
was used in a plate of soup is sufficient
for an ordinary palate. Captain Jack
got a lot of these peppers, which he
cut up and placed in a jug, filling
it up with the strongest rum that
could be made. The usuai voyage
was six weeks, by which time the
spirit had pretty well extracted the
strength from the peppers. On arrival
in the English channel, as usual, the
pilot, an old acquaintance, came on
board and made straight for the cabin.
Captain Jack had everything well pre
pared, and a heaping tumbler of the im
proved rum was handed to him. Down
his throat it went witnout his drawing
breath until it was finished. For a mo
ment or two he was staggered; then,
striking his chest a few times with his
open hand, he muttered out, “Jerusalem,
the finest Jamaica rum I ever drank, it
warms me all through/’ The Captain
gave up. He says that they were incor
rigible. But he’always kept a quantity
of this favorite mixture for them after
wards. tl

—Starke—Lawtey—Baldwin—A Di
gression—St. Augustine—The Old
Fort—The Indian*—Captain Pratt
and Sergeant NIeGuIre—The Sur
render of the Fort—Prof. W. G.
Fischer—The Retreat.
Feiinandina, March 18.—Editor Morn
ing News: From Gainesville to this
city direct is just one hundred miles.
Between these points are several sta
tions of more or less importance.
Waldo is the largest, and is quite a busi
ness point, with a good surrounding coun
try to support it. I noticed quite a
number of Northern people getting
off at this station. Most of them had
come to find a home in this mild climate
and balmy atmosphere. They were
charmed with the appearance of every
thing. The transition had been so sud
den from the snow-clad hills to this point,
where everything wore a summer dress,
that they were completely amazed. I
hope their admiration and satisfaction
will continue. Some of the sweetest
and finest looking oranges that I have
found on this tripl obtained at Waldo.
They have an excellent hotel at this
point.
In order of size Starke comes next. It
makes a favorable impression upon a
stranger as he passes it in the car. I was
disappointed in my calculations, aud did
not get to stop over at this point. It has a
good reputation among those seeking
homes in this section. It is an intelligent
community, from the fact we send more
copies of the News to this point than
any other single place on this line of
road. It is a favorite resort of my friend
Col. Gentry, aud hence the large circu
lation.
Lawtey is another station which is now
attracting considerable attention. Major
T. J. Burrin has been living here for
seven or eight yenrs, and is not tired yet,
but is getting everything comfortable
around him. lie has a nice home. The
people settling this immediate vicinity
come from Illinois, near Chicago. Like
most Western men who come here, they
are farmers, and come expecting to work.
Col. E. G. Hill, of this place, showed
me his orange grove, consisting of three
thousand trees. They are all young,
and he is youthful enough to
wait until they can have time to come to
maturity. He did not expect to make a
fortune in one year and then return to
his former home, but he had come to
stay and enjoy the fruits of his labors in
after years. There is quite a spirit of
improvement everywhere to be seen.
Baldwin is the next point, and its in
terest consists in its being the crossing
of the Transit and Central Florida Rail
roads. It has only three stores, three
hotels and two depots, and a saw mill,
and a negro church in process of con
struction. I was the guest at this place
of W. M. Gibbes, Esq., late of Charles
ton, S. C. He keeps a good house.
At this point I make a digression from
ray appointed route, and run down to
Jacksonville, and to spend one day in
the quaint old town of St. Augustine.
After a most excellent dinner at the
Florida House, iu company with others,
I started out to investigate the curiosities.
A short promenade on the sea wall
brought us to the old Spanish fort. The
open doorway through the huge walls
was guarded by an Indian in war clothes.
In response to our salute he modestly
turned aside with his musket at-a “carry”
and we unmolested wended our way to
ihe large court in the centre. This mas
sive building is made of coquina, cut in
blocks and laid one upon another, like
stone. The coquina is composed of
shells, lime and sand, and is quarried
like stone. It becomes hardened bv ex
posure to the air. This is the oldest
structure known on the continent, ac
cording to Sergeant McGuire's vivid
historical description. Its origin dates
back a century or two at least, not
withstanding the different theories as to
its antiquity. By a wide, well-worn stair
way, we commenced the ascent to the
top of the fort. The steps, or what were
steps once, cease al>out midway, and the
remainder is a smooth surface of cement.
From the tower we have a good outlook
toward the sea, and an excellent view of
the little city, with its antiquated build
ings and narrow streets, below us. We
were invited to go through and inspect
the Indian quarters. It was novel and
interesting. They were arranged on either
side of a wide aisle extending the whole
length of the budding upqn cqis, which
served as beds at night, and as chairs or
sitting quarters during the day, ^s \veil
as counters to display their goods and
chattels, which they are con
stantly manufacturing 'for sale. I
was surprised to see them so quiet
and contented with their prison life.
They all looked strong and healthy.
They are all men of immense frames,
and certainly when in exercise they must
be powerful in muscle. They were busy
making bows and arrows, polishing sea
beans, and painting pictures in a crude
way. If these are specimens they mu3t
be a terrible tribe to contend with in
their native wildness. But here they
seem docile, and some of them anxious
to learn and to adopt our iqodps of civili
zation. only two have their wives with
them. The only one that seemed reti
cent and grum was chief “Lone Wolf/'
He is physically a powerful man and is
SJ V r ! tC iave great influence his
tribe.
i was introduced to Captain Pratt,
who has charge of the fort, and found
him a perfect gentleman, and I am
indebted to him for many courtesies
and attentions. He accompanied us in
person through the entire fortress, im
parting much information, which I have
neither time nor room to put down here.
The dungeon cell is a great point of at
traction. It is under the special direc
tion of the celebrated Sergeant McGuire,
well known to all visitors as eloquent of
tongue and vivid in description. He
has been here for many years, and until
the Indians came he had absolute com
mand. His description has been so often
printed I will not rehearse it here, but
the visitor who fails to hear it loses half
the charm of a visit to this relic of the
hideous past. Its recital in this low
dungeon, in the sepulchral tones of the
ancient Sergeant, while one stands in the
flickering light of two tallow candles,
with the consciousness of seventy-live feet
of solid masonry between you and day
light is a little more than feminine nerv
ousness can endure. Hence there was a
rush for the low archway ere the eloquent
discourse had ended. Sergeant McGuire
is an historical character, and will go
down to posterity with reputation as
a soldier untarnished. When the Con
federate army knocked at the entrance
of the fort and demanded its surrender,
he was the only defender left. After
due consideration of the surroundings
and the imperative demand, like a true
soldier, he marched up to the comman
der of the rebel forces, aud in measured
language and with soldierly bearing, ex
claimed, “I surrender to a superior
force. ”
I met here with Prof. W. G. Fischer,
of Philadelphia, the celebrated singer
and composer. He and other friends
were singing for the benefit of
the Indians. They seemed to be
charmed with the y;kite man s songs.
They have in the fort a regular
school room, provided with books and
desks for the Indians, and are endeav
oring to teach them the English lan
guage, in which some of them I hear are
quite proficient.
We left the fort for other scenes,
passing through the celebrated orange
groves of Mr. Ball and Col. Anderson,
two of the finest in the State. Wearied
with walking and looking, we retired
early. In the morning we hastened back to
Jacksonville, where we had but a few min
utes, which I devoted ig ceiling upon
W. H. B., and then by half-past seven
o’clock I was in Fernandina, the guest of
my friend, Capt. A. O. Macclonnell.
And here ends my Florida journey.

Uncle Sam's Farm—A Bill for Its
Repossession.
New York Journal of Commerce.
For many years the Federal Govern
ment wasted the public lands with the
prodigality of a spendthrift and the
recklessness of a madman. During that
period of extravagance and folly the
chief work of Congress was to give away
the national possessions to all who asked
for them. The object seemed to be to
run through the whole property in the
least time and with the smallest returns
to the countrj'. That was the dark epoch
of Credit Mobiliers, back pay grabs, and
many other swindles. Of all the scan
dalous list the parcelling of the govern
ment acres among sham railroad compa
nies and other stockjobbing schemes was
the wotet In this insane and criminal
business Congress did not pause till it
had disposed of 127.000,000 acres, in
cluding seme of the finest mineral, tim
ber and grazing lands in the far West.
Companies were organized on paper for
the sole purpose of getting sections of
the national farm to be divided up and
sold for the benefit of rings, with liberal
slices to their friends in Congress. Now
that the mask has been stripped from
these bogus enterprises, and since, too.
public opinion has set itself against all
such legislation, and members of Con
gress dare not stem the current, there is
a disposition at Washington to make
the companies which have received these
lands disgorge.
A bill favorably reported by a House
committee specifies twenty-three rail
road projects which have shared in this
pillaging of the nation's wealth, anti
which have now forfeited all claims upon
the lands by failing in their contracts.
The reversion to the property thus for
feited is in the government, and its iron
hand should be closed upon its own
without delay. For this legislation is
necessary, and if Congress will provide
it that act of good sense and economy
will offset sonie of the foolishness of the
present session. The largest holders of
the lands are the Northern Pacific
(47,000,000 acres),the Atlantic and Pacific
(42.000,000) and the Texas Pacific
(18,000,000). The other concerns are
mostly small and obscure, with no funds
and no friends. The application of
justice to them will not be seriously re
sisted. But gigantic speculations like
the Northern aud the Texas Pacific will
oppose the hill with great force. Both
are now lagging new •indulgences from
the government. They want extensions
and more subsidies or guaranteed inter
est. We should deem it a victory to
keep them from getting more than has
already been misappropriated for their
lienefit. To demand from them the
restoration of lands to which they have
no longer a valid claim is a piece of plain
justice upon which we had not reckoned.
If the report of the Public Lunds Com
mittee is not that familiar thing—“a
strike”—it is a very gratifying sign of
the times.
©roffrics and jproi’isions.
Patriotism and Conciliation.
New Orleans Picayune.
A telegram from Washington an
nounces that the President regards the
decision of the Louisiana Supreme Court
in the returning. board cases as
“patriotic, and in the interest of concilia
tion/’ “Patriotic” is a vague aud inde
finite word when applied to cases of this
kind. It may mean much, or it may
mean little. In this instance it means
nothing, unless the President thought
the Supreme Court was capable of act
ing unpatriotically in deciding a ques
tion ( f technical law. Having decided
that question in a way that pleases him,
the President regards the decision as
“patriotic,” from which we may infer
that to do anything displeasing to the
nation's Executive would be considered
by him to be very unpatriotic. This is a
new definition of patriotism, but it is
probably as good as Dr. Johnson’s.
The President's idea that the decision
of the Supremo Court was made “in the
interest of conciliation,” is equally fan
tastic. Whom was it the duty of the
court to conciliate. President Hayes, or
3Ir. Garfield, or Stanley 3ratthews, or
the New York Times ?
When he reads the text of the decision
he will find that no such thought was
present to influence the action of the
court. He will see, on the contrary, that
a well-merited and very pointed rebuke
is administered to the “visiting states
men, who, by vociferous denunciation
and insolent interference, attempted to
influence the ^qurit. ot justice in this
State lie will find that the Supreme
Court very properly dismissed all consid
erations of conciliation or compromise,
and of political prejudice or resent
ment, and decided tlie case simply as
a naked question of law. Any attempt
to pervert tbe plain meaning of the de
cision to party purposes by invoking the
great name and the pure character of the
Louisiana Supreme Court as a shield for
the illegalities of the returning board
canvass, will recoil on those who make
the effort as soon as the public of the
countrv have an opportunity to examine
the judgment. The escape of the return
ing officers does not improve the position
of the “visiting statesmen” with refer
ence to the Louisiana election. On the
contrary, the legal reasons which relieve
the returning officers from legal prosecu
tion and legal responsibility, convict the
!5derman Garfield 3lutthews confederates
of complicity m a conspiracy to filch the
electoral vote of Louisiana without even
going through the formality of a legal
Conviction of a German Priest of
Mnrder.
In a Philadelphia court on Thursday
last Blasius Pistorius, a German priest,
was found guilty of murder iu the first
degree, aud now awaits sentence of
death. The crime of which he was con
victed was the killing of Isaac Jaquette,
a Montgomery county man. Pistorious
came to this country in 1S75, expecting
to obtain the pastorate of a church iu
the West. He stopped in Montgomery
county to. visit a brother, who was ear
ning on a farm. John Pistorius’ land
adjoined that of Jaquette. and a dispute
arose as to trespasses of Jaquette’s cows
on Pistorius’ fields. One day a boy
brought Jaquette’s cows to water, and
wsis warned away in his brother’s name
by Blasius Pistorius, who stood, pUtoi in
hand, on the other sicj? cjf the stream.
The boy ran ba< k and called Jaquette,
who came on the scene in great anger,
aqd packed up two stones. Exactly what
occurred afterwards is not known, except
that the pistol was discharged, the priest
says, by accident, and Jaquette fell mor
tally wounded, dying in a few days af
terward. Pistorius has b<*ca In jail since
Juh’24, 187?.
Tb'i trial concluded Thursday, as re
ported above. The charge of the Judge
to the jury was very unfavorable to the
prisoner, and the jury, after being out
four hours, brought in thei^ \-erUict.
The prisoner gave v,*ay to violent excite
ment and in a loud voice reproached the
court, his counsel, and all who had any
thing to do with his conviction.
