Ball of tlie Wavers.
The Yv’aver Fire Company give their first
grand baU at St. Andrew’s Hall on Monday
evening next, and we venture nothing in
predicting that it will prove au occasion
long to be remembered with pleasure by
ihose who have the good fortune to be pres
ent. In order that their friends can par
ticipate in the enjoyment, the efficient com
mittee have decided to dispose of a limited
number of tickets at the low sum of one
dollar, admitting gentleman and two ladles,
with supper privilege for two. Ea passant,
this supper is to be prepared by a well
known caterer, and It is hinted will be a
feast. Those who wish to open the first
week of the new year with a pleasant eve
ning, should secure their tickets at once, as
the number is limited, and the popularity
of the Wavers is so great there will be a de
mand for them.
f ang’s Art Fiiblicalions.
The house of L. Prang & Co., Boston, is

publications. They have special features

of art work. Prang’s Satin Bannerets, the
novelty of the season, for wall decoration,
are elegantly illuminated and have appro
priate mottoes printed in the richest 6atin
of various colors. Messrs. Wylly & Clark,
of this city, have a full line of these goods,
and those who are looking for something
neat and elegant for the holidays should

Strawben leu*.
The sight of several boxes of fine straw
berries on the stall of Mr. H. Mastick in the
Market attracted quite a crowd of curious
straugers from the North, who were stroll
ing through the building yesterday, and to
whom straw-berries in December are a great
novelty. They were grown in the open air
on Mastick’s farm, a short distance from the

least the few we tasted were.

Important Cane Gained by tbe
Central Railroad.
In the case of the Southwestern Railroad
vs. the Comptroller General of the State of
Georgia aud the Sheriff of Bibb county, ap
plication for injunction to restrain the levy
ing of executions for taxes, alleged to be
due the State for the years 1S76 aud 1877,
Judge Simmons issued an order granting
the injunction applied for.
This case was argued before Judge Sim
mons last week, who held up bi3 decision
till yeeternay. He then announced his de
cision, and eDjoined the executions issued
by the Comptroller General against the rail
road. The two executions which had been
levied on the railroad by the Sheriff of Bibb
county amounted iu the aggregate to about
#220,000, including the penalties. Judge
Simmons gave no written opinion, but
announced it verbally. We learn that
toe ground he based his opinion on was
that the act of 1877 requiring the Comp
troller General, whenever a corpora
tion makes a return, to carefully scruti
nize said return, and if, in his opinion,
the return is not correct in any particular,
he shall reassess the property iu sixty days
from the time the return is received by him,
and shall give notice to the corporation of
said reassessment, aud the corporation shall
have the right within twenty days to have
the matter submitted to arbitrators. The
Comptroller General, it appears, failed to
follow the law, but waited about seventeen
months after the return of 1876, and seven
months after 4-he return of 1877, when in
December, 1S77, he reassessed the property,
giving no notice to the railroad.
The returns for both years had been re
ceived by the Comptroller General without
protest or complaint, and he had given re
ceipts iu full for the taxes for both years.
On this state of facts, Judge Simmons held
that the State was estopped from collect
ing the taxes for those two years. He ex
pressed uo opinion as to whether the branch
roads were liable to taxation or not, but in
timated that if the Comptroller General had
followed the act of 1877 that some of the.
branches of the road would have been liable
to an ad valorem tax. The case will be
carried to the Supreme Court.—Macon Tele

One Hundred and Five Signers
The Blue Ribbon on tbe Boom/
There was the usual good crowd at the
Drew Temperance gathering at Mozart Hall
last night, and the exercises were opened
with singing “Auld Acquaintance.” Mr.
T. J. Elmore then offered prayer, after
which the ode “I Need Thee Every Hour”
was sung.
Mr. Drew opened his talk by stating that
he had met a gentleman during the day
who had remarked to him that it was a
grand and good work that he (the speaker)
was engaged in, but that he doubt
ed about many of the signers sticking
to^ it. They won’t keep the pledge.
\\ ell, cow, said the speaker, I look upon it
as a grand and good work if the drinking
man was to stop for one month; and it
would be worth all the cost that the com
mittee had been put to if they succeeded in
reclaiming only one man. In his
own State, when this temperance
movement was inaugurated, there
were several “smart Alecks” who knew all
about it,and who said knowingly, “Oh, it’s a
very good thing, but they wont stick.” It
was necessary for every man who desired to
be a total abstinence man to make a start,
and the best way was to come out and
sign the pledge now. It was a good thing
if a man only stuck one month; if he only
held to the obligation that time, he was that
much better. But to return to the wise pre
dictions of the “smart Alecks.” A few years
ago the speaker 6ent out a circular con
taining thirteen questions to the twenty-five
Reform Temperance Clubs in his State, and
among them was one inquiring how many-
bad violated the pledge. The replies
were to the effect that eighty-eight per
cent, had remained faithful and only-
twelve per cent, had broken the
pledge in two years. A number of these
had been induced to re-sign in the mean
time, so actually the percentage of violators
of the pledge did not amount to more than
six per cent. The same was about his ex
perience through the West. He did not
know how it was in the South; he was a
stranger here, but had been in Georgia two.
months, and nowhere had he found more
high-toned, honorable and conscientious
men. He believed firmly that the
great majority of those who had taken the
pledge would stick to it. Some make a
mistake in supposing that a drinking man
has no sense of honor, and right here he
was reminded of an incident in his own
State that would 6how the contrary. John
George was a promising young lawyer in
Concord, and was appointed on tbe staff of
the Governor, who was a drinking man. Soon
John George got to drinking, and It got the
best of him, and in 1875 he had degenerated
to a driveling idiot, and it was pitiable to
see him sitting in his chair, giggling and
shaking with drunken imbecility. His
father had died immensely wealthy, but
knowing bis son’s habits had only left him
#400 per annum, |but a codicil instructed
the trustees to turn over the property
to him in the event he should be-
coine a temperance man. These
clubs in Concord were in the habit
of visiting neighboring towns within
eighteen aud forty-five miles, and inaugurat
ing temperance meetings. One day a friend
of John George said to the speaker that he
wanted him to come to Warren (where
George was living) and get up a temperance
meeting. The arrangements were made
and the club went in due time. The friend
meanwhile had gotten John George to come
to his house, and kept every kind of liquor
from him for ten or twelve days. The
night of the meeting came; John George
was there and signed the pledge. A reform
club was at once organized, aDd
John George was elected President, and
when called upon to make a speech was
hardly able to stand,so swollen were his feet
aud legs from excessive drinking. He
however returned his thanks. A short time
afterwards a prominent liquor dealer of
Concord, knowing his weakness, sent him
by express a case containing a dozen bottles
of different wines, with his compliments,
and asked him to sample them. The box
was returned a few days after
wards so firmly bound up that it required
the dealer two hours to gtt off one
of the irou bands, and with it was a letter
from John George stating, “1 have signed
the pledge; I never intend to drink again,
and I don’t want your liquor.” This would
serve to show that the drinking men could
and would stick; the drinking men who sign
the pledge know they have enough of
liquor; nobody knows it better, and they
are not likely to want any more of it.
It reminded him of the little girl w-ho was
asked the meaning of matrimony; she re
plied that she did not know exactly, but it
w as something pa and ma had got enough
of. [Laughter.] Now, so it is with the
man who knows the effect of liquor. The
speaker then related an incident that oc
curred at one of his meetings in the Eas\
An Irishman, who was fearfully Intoxicated,
and who was almost iu rags, with a whoop
started to come forward and sign the pledge.
Not wishing the man to sign the pledge
without knowing what he was about, the
speaker left the platform and approached
the man. After a few minutes conversa
tion he was satisfied that Mike Farley,
though very druuk, knew what he
was about, and he signed the
pledge. He had been out of work,
but the next day got a job of sawing
wood for a liquor dealer. The day was fear
fully cold, the thermometer way down be
low zero, and after awhile Mike went into
the saloon to warm his fingers, when the sa
loon keeper said to him: “Mike, that is a
pretty thin drink that the Drew club are
giving you, isn’t it ?” “Well, yes,” replied
Mike ; “it is rather thin for such a day as
this/’ And the dealer, thinking he could
be easily persuaded, offered to “set qp” the
drinks, which Mike seemingly was willing
to accept, but was afraid some of the reform
fellows would hear of it. When assured
that there was no danger, be assented to
drink, and when the dealer, iu great glee,
a-ked him what he would nave, he replied :
“Well, if ye have it, I’ll take a glass of your
cold wather.” [Laughter].
Three years ago the speaker was
in York, when some one called to him
across the street, and looking over, he 6aw
a fine looking, well dressed gentleman, and
to his surprise discovered he \yas
“Mike Farley.” lie shook him by his hand
warmly, and said: “Well, Mike, you’ve
kept it.” “Yes, I have,” replied Mike, “and
we arc all so happy and doing well.”
The speaker asserted his belief that as a
class, drinking men know what they are
about. A man who has been used up with
liquor and breaks loose Knows what it is
aud dou’t want auy more of it. He is like the
country boy, near New York city, who, on
reaching his majority, was given five dollars
by his father and told to run down to the
pjty and have a good time. The first thing
that struck th? attention of the boy on
reaching the city was the si^n of the lov/-
ery Theatre—“Immense Attraction ! ‘The
Forty Thieves!’ Admission 50 cents.” He
concluded to go, as he could see the sights
and have #4 50 left. At night he called at
the ticket omce aud confidentially informed
the ticket seller that he was in for a pjood
time; had $5, and wanted the b'^st §eat in
the h9ljse. He was handed his ticket aqd
#2 50 in change fqr hi§ five, which rather
surprised him, as he thought the admissjoD
to any part of the house was fifty cents. He
stood in the passage way, looking alter
nately at tbe ticket man' and thpn $t his
change, oostructing the entrance, when the
ticket seller ordered him to get out of the
waj-, and told him if he was going in to see
the “Forty Thieves” to go ahead. This
aroused the boy, and he said: “No, I've
seen one of them and knew when I’ve got
enough. I don’t want to 6ee the other
thirty-nine.” So mau who ^ drinks
i whisky has seen tbe biggest thiei lu tZ?
world, and when be gets away from it he
won’t care to see thp other thirty-nine.
Now, if he signs the pledge and don't keep
it, you do your duty and try and get him to
re-sign. If he breaks it again persuade him
to re-sign; don’t give him up, nay if he vio
lates it seventy times seven. Give him en
couragement. When he (the speaker) broke
loose from his drinking habits, noth
ing did film so much good as to
have the best peoplp in tlie place come to
him, give their hands, the whole Iiand,
and say, “God bless you, John, you've done
right, old boy.” Remember this, and ex
tend to the weak ones a helping hand.
Give them a hearty shake with the whole
hand; not with two fingers. He had expe
rienced some of these two-finger shakes,
aud wjuld almost as soon have his face
slapped. Real, genuine encouragement, was
what was needed. Au incident of the Chi
cago fire was here related, where a gal
lant fireman, endeavoring to rescue a
child from a burning building, was al
most suffocated by the effects of
the emoke and flame through which he
had to battle, but was nerved to superhuman
effort, and succeeded simply from the en
couragement of three hearty cheers from
the crowd below. So when you find one who
is climbing the temperance ladder, almost
overcome by temptation and appetite, give
him the encouragement of three cheers and
he will stick sure, and come out all right.
The speaker here remarked that It was
not his desire to talk much himself. He
would present the pledge and wished every
body iu the house would sign it, meanwhile
the ode “Sweet Bye-and-Bye” would be
Bung.
No one corning forward, Air. Drew made
an earnest appeal for some to break tbc ice
and come up and sign the pledge. This
was the objective point of the meeting. The
singing was continued, and several young
men came up amidst applause, registered
their names and received the blue ribbon.
Mr. Drew stated at the close of the sing
ing that the audience were mostly strangers
to him and he did not know who had signed
or w'ho had not signed the pledge, and he
would ask a favor of those who had to
hold up their hands. Immediately a
number of hands throughout the house
were elevated. He then asked those who had
not signed to hold up their hands, which
they afd, but quickly let them drop. Mr.
Drew Inquired why they had withdrawn
their hands so quickly, when there was
much laughter. He said, however, it did
not make much difference, as they bad let
him see where they lived, as It were, and
the workers were started thrgqgb tfie au
dience for recruits.
Mr, Drew expressed his surprise that
many ladies had declined to sign. Every
one had influence, and every one onght to
sign as an encouragement to others. He
was convinced there was many a drinking
man in this house who felt in his heart tha ■
it would be better for him not to drink; that
it would be well for him to 6ign the .pledge.
Why, then, should he hesitate to'obey the
promptings of that little monitor? The
man who was guided by a good impulse or
motive never did wrong. Hrere Sraa no
reason in vascillation—the man should be
determined, and act promptly and decisive
ly. The speaker here related another little
incident about the capture of one hundred
cows by a Federal officer during the war,
an i the result of his indecision in disposing
of them.
The speaker wanted to make this the big
gest meeting of all; he wanted the meetings
to grow like a snow ball rolling down hill.
The odes “Almost Persuaded,” “Only an
Armor Bearer,” and “Let the Lower Lights
be Burning,” were then sung, and daring
the pause between the verses, Mr. Drew
directed attention to the small number of
workers who were out in the hall and
called for volunteers, at the same time ap
pealing to the young men at the rear to dare
to do right and to come forward and sign.
He then stated in behalf of the committee
that a collection would be taken up to de
fray the expenses of the hall, etc., the
printing, which was considerable, being gen
erously donated by Mr. Estill. The money
collected was not for him; he had never
takeu a cent for his work, and he desired
this understood. He would, however, re
mark that as they had gotten many of the
ladies to sign the pledge and wear the blue
ribbon, they would not deny them the right
to put something in the hat.
After the collection was taken up Air. A.
N. Manucy addressed the assemblage and
related an occurence in the temperance
lodge, to which he belonged, to show that
though a man might be under the influence
of liquor when he signed the pledge that he
could have strength of will sufficient to
keep It. The lodge had elected a man to
membership, and on the night of the initia
tion he made his appearance so intoxicated
that they were in a quandary what to do;
but finally proceeded with the initiation,
and before they were through the man re
alized the importance of the pledges he was
taking. To-day he is one of the best work
ers in the lodge and has done much for the
cause, proving himself a staunch temper
ance man. Though a man drinks, said
tbe speaker, he is not devoid of honor.
Temperance is an old subject, but there
was none more important to humanity, and
the speaker urged the necessity of united
earnest effort in response to the appeals
from those who had been rendered
wretched by this great curse. He alluded
to the patriotism and self-sacrifice of the
daughters of the South during the late war,
and' called on them to display the same
qualities in the efforts to exterminate from
our midst the great enemy—intemperance.
Let all put on the blue ribbon, sign the
pledge, and go to work in the cause,
and we would soon have a grand temperance
army, and our jails, insane and inebriate
asylums would be replaced with churches,
universities and schools. Iu closing, he
urged his bearers to sign the pledge for the
honor of God and the welfare of humanity.
Mr. Drew made some sensible remarks at
this point in reference to the necessityof pres
ence of mind in event of any sudden alarm,
and stated that there was no difficulty in
clearing the hall expeditiously and without
injury to an}’ one, as there was egress on
both streets and from the rear. This was
odIv mentioned for prudential reasons.
Air. Drew here stated that there was a
yaung mau on the platform whom he had de
sired to speak, but as he was a foreiguer he
was reluctant to do 60, his English being
imperfect. This young man had signed the
pledge, and wore the ribbon, and a party
who had promised him work and to whom
he had gone, on seeing his blue ribbon
had directed him to return to Mr. Drew
for work. The epeaker said he would cer
tainly use bis best efforts to get him some
thing to do. He did not know the young
man’s name, but would bring him forward
He then introduced the young man of
robust frame and pleasant countenance, of
a German cast, whom we subsequently
ascertained to be a native of Denmark and
named Niels Juuls.- He came forward
modestly and addressed the audience in a
low tone, stating that he was from a foreign
laud and had been in several countries. He
found that people drank everywhere; in
some places it was wine, in others beer, and
in others whisky, but here he found
they drank all together. It didn’t make
so much difference about this if people
knew when to stop, but they didn’t, and he
saw they often got drunk. He related an
amusing anecdote' about the freaks of a
drunken man in his own country, which ex
cited laughter. He said he thought
it was a go d thing to stop drink
ing, so he signed the pledge
and put on the ribbon. Yesterday morning
he went to a gentleman on the Bay, who
had promised to get him work,
and the party noticing the ribbon
on his coat asked him what that
was for. He explained, when the gentle
man said : “Well, then, you go to Air.
Drew and let him get you work.” The
speaker said he told the gentleman that ha
never knew before that there was objection
to a man because he did not drink, but if
he wanted a man who did drink liquor he
wou ! d bring him two in the morning.
[Laughter.]
Air. Drew here spoke in very complimen
tary terms of the young man, whom he con
sidered had exemplified the highest type of
moral courage. He had stood up for his con
victions, although he was a stranger in a
strange land. He was an educated gentleman,
was conversant with four languages, and, tbe
speaker felt assured, would prove a valua
ble employe. He hoped they would exert
tbemselves to secure him employment.
The speaker then made another appeal to
the ladies to come forward and sign tbe
pledge. He asked them if they saw u man
drowning, and by throwing a plank to him
they could 6ave him, whether they would
think it unwomanly to do so ? Here was a
chance for them to use their influence
to save men, and he urged them
to come out and cast their
influence on the right side. In closing, he
stated that one gentleman bad secured dur
ing the day 24 signers to the pledge, and
hoped others would follow the example.
The pledges were then called in and it was
found that 305 signatures had beea obtain
ed, making a total of 735.
Auother meeting will De held thie evening
at 8 o’clock.
QUEER PROCEEDINGS.
An English Captain Checkmated by
a Savannah Lawyer.
Yesterday morning an interesting habeas
corpus case was heard before Hon. John O.
Ferrill, Ordinary, which developed some
pretty queer proceedings. The petitioner
was William Watson, second mate on the
British bark Themis, wbo had been com
mitted to jail as a deserter, upon a warrant
issued by Afagistrate Elslnger, at tbe in'
stance of Captain Jordan, commander of
said bark, and there detained. It appears
that on the 23d inst. Watson, who had com
plained to the Captain of the nn-
cleanliness of one of the crew>
was Informed by that officer that
if he was not satisfied he could go ashore.
Watson had a contract for the twelve
months, but was perfectly willing under the
circumstances to leave the ship, provided he
was paid tbe money due him up to that time,
and so stated to the Captain, who, after
some quarrelling, acceded to a cancellation
of the contract and agreed to pay Watson
the amount, some $70, provided he met him
the following day at tbe Consul’s office.
Wat3on was on band at the appointed time,
but the Captain was not. On the second
day he met Jordan, wbo stated that he did
not have the money with him. The next
day he encountered Jordan and asked
him for his money,-when he was rudely
repulsed, and told that he could not get it.
Watson then called upon Air. J. J. Abrams,
and represented the facts to him and placed
him in charge of the case. The bark was
nearly ready for sea, and Mr. Abrams at
once had an attachment issued against her
by Afagistrate Molina. The Captain finding
that Watson was going to make a fight for
his money proceeded to Alagistrate Elsln-
ger’s office and had the warrant issued
against him, charging him with desertion,
and he was committed to jail as stated. On
Saturday, a hearing in the case was had be
fore Alagistrate Molina, and the above fact6
being brought out, the Captain failing to
show that Watson was a deserter, and vir
tually acknowledging that the money was
due, Alagistrate Alolina decided the at
tachment well taken, and the amount was
paid over on Alonday morning. Watson,
however, having been committed as a de
serter by Alagistrate Elslnger, it was neces
sary for him to return to jail until a regular
hearing on that warrant. It was under
stood that the bark had cleared, and would
sail for Bremen early yesterday morning,
and, Air. Abrams, suspecting that the
motive of Captain Jordan in keeping
Watson detained on the charge of de
sertion was for the purpose of getting the
mate just before the vessel sailed and
taking him on board, where he would be
completely at hie mercy, determined to
checkmate the little game. He accordingly
drew up a petition for a writ of habeas cor
pus, setting forth the fact that Watson, the
petitioner, was illegally restrained of his
liberty, had it signed by Watson, and made
returnable by 11 o’clock yesterday before
the Ordinary. This document was served
on the jailer late on Alonday night, requir
ing him to produce the body of Watson
before the Ordinary at the time specified.
The suspicions as to the intentions of
the Captain were well founded, as at
at four o’clock yesterday morning he 6eut
to the jail for his “deserter,” as the bark
was about to sail, when the parties were
amazed to find that powerful little writ was
interposed, and they had to leave without
him. The vessel passed down the river
during the morning, and by this time
is probably at sea. It should be meutioned
here that the Captain secured a second mate
during these proceedings, and his anxiety
to get Watson again cannot be attributed to
a good motive.
At eleven o'clock yesterday morning a
hearing was had in the case before the Or
dinary; when the court promptly ordered
the discharge of Watson, who seemed
deeply grateful to his lawyer for preserving
his liberty aud getting his money for him
These are the facts as we have received
them, and certainly make up a singular
Disorderly In Chnrcb.
About 10:20 o’clock last night a disturb
ance was created at New Street Church, by
Daniel Henderson, colored, who refused to
leave the place when ordered, and assaulted
John Ratcliffe, colored. Policeman Power
w*as called in and snatched the uproarious
Daniel off to the barracks.
