On the morning of the 27th ult., Herbert
Wilburn, Coroner of Dougherty county, re
ceived information that on the evening previ
ous a difficulty occurred at Land’s store, in
East Dougherty, between Golden Rooth and
Nathan Davis, two negroes, and that the for
mer was fatally stabbed. The Coroner straight
way Mfcured the services of Bailiff Greer, a
jury was summoned, and the officials repaired
to the place of the murder. An inquest was
held, and the evidence disclosed the following
facts: The two negroes above mentioned were
riding In a wagon with several others, plat ing
cards. Rome dispute arose between Rooth ana i
Davis, sharp words followed, and Davis finally !
drew his knife and stabbed Rooth. Rooth i
jumped out of the wagon and ran, but was j
overtaken by D&vis. who stabbed him in the |
head and back and finally cut his throat. The ;
evidence showed that Rooth offered but little
resistance, hence it appears to be a murder.
Nathan Davis made his etcape.
Jonesboro Hexes : “The Middle Georgia Col

Says the Thomaeville Times: “The next few
days must and will decide whether or not the ;
farmers of South Georgia propose to depend
on the West again for their supplies If they
do, the same old story of being behind and
asking for an extension will follow. But if
they will knuckle right down to the work of
making their farms self-sustaining—planting
just as much cotton in addition as they can—
they will come out at the big end of the horn.
No farmer ought to depend on another for
something to eat. It is the sharpest kind of
irot-y. Be self-supporting.”
The Cochran Enterprise reports that on last
Saturday night at the plantation of Mr. J. E.
Boothe, a negro named John Wright shot
another negro, Sam Slaughter, mortally wound
ing him, uuder the following circumstances:
John Wrignt had hired Sam to work with him
and some other hands for the year, and Sam
performed his part of the contract until the
first of last week, when he went to Laurens
county on a visit, and returned on Saturday
evening with a wagon to move and a gun to
protect himself if he was opposed in his
design. John Wright quarreled with him, and
a row got up, when Sam's gun was taken from
him, and during the melee John drew a pis
tol and sh it Sam in the head behind the left 1
ear. We learn that Sant nas dying yesterday, !
and that John Wright has made his escape.
Hawkinsviile Disjiatch: "One day last week
CoL George W. Jordan's gin house, in this
county, had a narrow escape from destruction
by fire. The gin was in motion, and from Mo
tion < r some other cause, the lint took fire, and
in an instant the lint room was in a blaze. The
room contained about one bale of lint, all of
which was destroyed, and tbe tire got into the
gin house and burned over a pile of seed cot
ton, but tbe bands succeeded after all in ex
tinguishing the tfire and saving the building,
with considerable cotton. The bale of lint in
the lint room wag all that was destroyed.
This is the only instance of the kind we have
ever heard of.”
OgDthorpe Echo: “One day last week Mr. j
Ned Winfrey, who was working at McWhor- j
ter's gin at Antioch, happened to an accident I
that it is feared will result seriously. It ap |
pears that in stepping over a band that leads :
fn ra the engine to the gin his foot got caught j
and he was drawn backward and severely in l
jured He was in an unconscious condition ■
and bis life was despaired of at last accounts.”

With reference to the channel at George
town, Opt Phillips, ot the United States En
gineers, reports as follows: “After passing
tbe bar at tbe entrance to Winyah Hay, tbe
only obstruction met with by vessels trading
with Georgetown, is a bar at the entrance to >
the harbor, or, really, at tbe mouth of bam pit
river. This bar is 2,833 feet ia length, and
affords a depth of about nine feet at ordinary
low water. As vessels drawing twelve feet of
water frequently leave Georgetown, much de
tention occurs while waiting for high water,
It i* proposed to obviate this difficulty by
dredging a channel across this bar two hun
dred feet in width at bottom and twelve feet in
depth at ordinary low water. Tbe cost of this
work will be a trifle over *14.000.”

accused him of doing so, and swore to
kill him if he did not kneel before her
and apologize. William offered to take
an oath that he had not made the remark
imputed to him, and proposed a meeting
of all the persons concerned, in order to
settle the difficulty amicably, but he
absolutely refused to apologize. Harry
reluctantly postponed the killing, but on
the morning before the conference was
to have been held, meeting William by
chance in the street, he said that he
would not wait a moment longer—that
William must kneel then and there, or
suffer the consequences. William simply
drew a pistol and shot Harry dead.

GARFIELD ANDTHE SOUTH
THE SOUTHERN PRESS ON THE
INAUGURAL.
Well Nigh Unanimous Verdict on
Ite Statesmanlike Ullerancee-Titat
He TOay measure Up to His Prom
isee the Hope of the South.
August a, Ga.., March s.— The Chronicle
and Constitutionalist, in an editorial, says:
"The inaugural address la worthy of careful
perusal by every one interested in the wel
fare of the republic. It Is one of the ableet
documents of the kind ever presented to
the people of the United States. Temperate
and conservative in its utterances, with a
vein of good common sense running through
It all, it gives promise of a wise and patriot
ic administration of the government for the
next four years.”
Richmond, March s.—The Dispatch edi
torially says: “We would pronounce the
inaueural an excellent one, apeaking of it
as it will strike the Northern people, for
whom, of course, It was specially Intended.
It has as little Northern and anti-Southern
sentiment in It as we could hsve expected
to find in a document originating ln the
Ashtabula district of Ohio We cannot
agree with the President as to the benefi
cent effect of making voters of negroes,
but we can agree that the abolition of
slavery was a blessing, and we concede that
he states his case forcibly when he says:
“There is in this country no middle ground
between slavery and full citiaens.”
Chattanooga, March 5. The' Daily
Times has this to say of the address:
“Inaugural speeches and letters accept
ing party nominations are generally glit
tering collections of words, so strung to
gether as most effectually to conceal'the
specific ideas and intents of writers and
speakers. Garfield’s speech at the east
front of the capitol yesterday was not an
exception in kind to this rule. It may be
regarded as good or otherwise by partisan
or other critics, but it Is only relatively
good or bad, being neither one nor the other
ln any positive sense.”
Louisville, Ft., March s.—The Courier-
Journal says: “President Garfield’s inaugu
ral address|presents a strong contrast to that
of Mr. Hayes four years ago. It abounds ln
strong and vigorous thought. It comes as
from a man who knows where he stands;
knows what is bis duty and means to do it,
though the heavens fall. There ia
an absence of partisan coloring,
and a palpable consciousness that
the great office he holds must not be prosti
tuted to base party purposes. There is evi
dence that the man knows his country
wants rest from sectional unrest, sectional
jealousy, and sectional bitterness, and that
as far as ln him lies will labor
to that end. His reference to
the South will hardly satisfy
the extreme of his party. His assertion of
the permanent supremacy of the Union will
meet with general acquiescence, as also will
his assertion of the autonomy of the States,
and the binding nature of the Constitution
sndlaws made in pursuance thereof. This is
Democratic doctrine, and on that ground
every Democrat must sincerely desire that
Garfield will continue to stand.”
Wilmington, March s.— The Star closes
its comments oh the inaugural address as
follows: “If President Garfield will do as
well as he promise:, If the acts of his admin
istration shall correspond with the declara
tions of his pronunclamcnto, be will
retire from office holding a higher
place ln the regards of the whole
people than he now possesses, when enter
ing upon tbe Presidential term. He has
very high ability. Let his stability and pa
triotism and sense of responsibility be equal
to the requirements of his high office, and
he will gain permanent fame. Let him be
President, not of a mere party or section,
but of the whole Union and the whole peo
ple, and he will prove a blessing to his gen
eration and his country.”
Montgomekt, Ala., March 5. The
Montgomery Advertiser comments briefly on
the inaugural, and says It is more elaborate
than such documents usually are, and, with
few exceptions, it is highly creditable, and
conservative throughout.
Galveston, March s.— The Galveston
Setvs, commenting on President Garfield’s
inaugural address, remarks: “It is some
thing more than a clever presentation of de
cent platitudes. In summing up the cen
tennial history of the republic he fairly
signifies that however much he may
respect the proper autonomy of the States,
and however much he may e3teem the bless
ings of local self government, he leans earn
estly and decidedly to the extreme Nation
alistic theory of the present Union known
as the United Btates.”
The .Vises states that his allusion to the
relation between the whites and the emanci
pated negroes is, on tbe whole, as states
manlike and considerate as could be expect
ed from a President representing the
traditions and professions ol the Republican
party. His utterance on the subject of
universal education at a necessary adjunct
of universal suffrage are emphatic and
worthy of the occasion.
Columbus, Ga., March s.— The Enquirer-
Sun comments on the inaugural address as
follows: “The address Is an excellent one.
It is that of a man who seemingly proposes
to do his whole duty. As we have said, the
South has no right to ask any favors of
the President. He was chosen against
the wishes and over the votes of our
people. Yet none have a disposition
to longer oppose his policy if It be that of a
statesman and in tbe interest of the country.
He advises the obliteration of old contro
versies. This the South has long desired,
and if the President be sincere ln his pur
pose we feel assured he will be cordially
met by the Southern Representatives in the
National Legislature.”
Jacksonville, Fla., March 5. -The Un
ion says: “The inaugural address of Presi
dent Garfield is a document of much force
and vigor. It is the production of a
scholarly Intellect, shows a wide
grasp, and evinces the perfect familiarity
of the trained statesman with public affairs.
There is no question that the new President
Is by far the ablest man who has occupied
that office in late years. Asa military man
Grant is, of course, his superior, but as a
statesman Grant is a mere pigmy beside
Gai field. If Garfield the statesman will
always be Garfield tbe President, his
administration will necessarily prove one of
the most successful and brilliant on record.
There would be no reason why it should
not bring us of the South all the good we
expected from the success of Hancock, our
chosen leader. But we cannot forget that
Garfield the statesman has often
surrendered to Garfield the politician.
He now occupies a position where
he can and should deal with all questions
from the standpoint of a patriot and states
man, and his inaugural gives promise that
such will be his course. I? his administra
tion is conducted in the spirit which per
vades his address he will find no factious op
position from the South, but, on the
contrary, an earnest desire to support
him in every effort he may put forth ‘to
make a truce with time’ by healing past
differences and bringing about complete
reconciliation.”
New Orleans, March 5 —The Picayune
says: “It is, taken altogether, an able docu
ment. and places the President upon much
broader ground than any Chief Magistrate
has occupied since the war. The transition
from Grant to Hayes was, politically, a
a broadly marked one. The transition from
Hayes to Garfield is also well defined. He
is the President of a united people, and
while there Is a streak of sectionalism in his
references to the will of the party that elected
him there are broad principles of govern
ment laid down which clearly indicate that
new President is firmly convinced that
the reconstructive legislation and recon
struction measures have forever gone by
with the past. His treatment of the race
question can excite no fears in the breasts
of the Southern people.”
The Times says: “The new President talks
like a statesman and patriot. If his adminis
tration of affairs is as liberal as tbe temper
and tone of his address, be will be the Presi
dent of the people rather than of a party.
Taken as ajwhole the address is calculated to
inspire confidence in the new administration
and secure for it the good will of the entire
country. Whether or not his administra
tion will be a success depends on Gen. Gar
field himself.”
The Democrat says: “Oa speaking of this
section of couutry he Is veiw conservative
and anything but stalwart. He admits that
negro suffrage has brought many troubles,
bat defends the fifteenth amendment as ab
solutely necessary under our form of gov
ernment. 8o far as his authority goes
be will protect the negroes in
their rights. This is the substance
of his platform, and this is
not very ‘bloody shirt,’ or threatening.
Tbe message is comparatively short and
quite clear and vigorous, dealt bg but little
in vague and glittering generalities. Most
of the points of the meseage, the improve
ment of our public school system, tbe en
dorsement of the Monroe doctrine, our
industrial improvements, etc., will not be
opposed or objected to here.”
The Stales says: “There Is little in ’.he
Inaugural address of the new President to
condemn and much to applaud. It it brief.
Clear and to the point; patriotic in spirit and
rich in promises. But we eannot for-
Eit that the Inaugural address of
r. Hajrte has never been
surpassed ia most of these

respects. In dealing with the civil service
and the Southern question—for, say what
we may, there is a Southern question—Mr.
Garfield has it in his power to bring about
a reorganization of parties here upon other
lines than the race issue. Upon the whole,
the new President starts out with a largs
share of the good will and confidence of the
people.”
THE BOSTON PRESS on TBN CABINET.
Boston, March 6.—The Journal thinks the
Cabinet will give very general satisfaction,
and speaks favorably ot the qualifications of
the appointees respectively.
The Advertiser, regarding the new admin
istration on the whole as a good one, says of
Secretary Windom: “He hss neither the
knowledge of finance, nor tbe strong in
stinctive tendency to s sound system that
were brought to the office by his predeces
sor. Hia record is not so clear as could be
wished. He has every inducement, how
ever, to pursue such a conservative course as
will make his administration successful."
The Post says: “Asa whole, weakness
and mediocrity characterize the Cabinet,
and the President has made a mistake at
the start in not making ability, solid merit
and attainments the rule of his choice
rather than party policy.”
ANTIGUA DESOLATED.
The Severest Frost Ever Known
There Lays Waste Its Estates.
Panama, March s.—The 10th of February
will be remembered in Antigua as the occa
sion of a frost, the heaviest in the memory
of man, occasioning damage the like of
which baa no record in the history of
th country since its conquest by the
Spaniards. Tbe cold wave seems to have
come from the north, apparently traversing
the Cordilleras through Mexico. Tropical
fmlts and crops withered away at its touch
as before a devouring flame. In the Depart
ment of Sacatepeques every hacienda has
been more or lees injured. The force
of the disaster fell on that part
of the volley where Is situated
the estate of Retaua, taking in a portion of
the valley which contained the most numer
ous and highly cultivated estates of the de
partment. New and beautiful estates in
Cantaro Calvaro have also suffered,
but the losi is less and can be
more easily repaired than on the older
and more prosperous estates. Several years
must necessarily elapse before the coffee
plantations can be restored to their usually
healthy condition. The sugar cane was kill
ed as It stood, eo that the loss in this respect
is confined to the amount actually uncut.
TENNESSEE’S LEGISLATURE.
Introduced to the President—Sena*
tor Harris’ Brilliant deception.
Washington, March s.—To-night Sena
tor Harris, of Tennessee, gave a brilliant
reception to the member* of the Tennessee
Legislature and prominent citizens of that
State now in the city. In addition to the
members of the Legislature present were
ex Postmaster General Key, Postmaster
General Maynard, ex-Benator Bailey,

Saylor and Harrison; Congressmen Atkins,
Whittbome and McMillan; ex-Supreme
Judge of Tennessee McLain; Judge Muse;

Tennessee; Attorney General Freeman, of
the Post-Office Department. This afternoon
the Tennessee Legislature made a final call
on the President, and were introduced in a
neat speech by William R. Moore,
member of Congress elect from
the Memphis district. President Garfield re
plied in a short address, and then the mem
bers were formally presented. Most of the
members of the Legislature leave to-morrow.

Panama, February 29.—Advices from
Lima to February 6th show that although
efforts to form a government of some kind
have been renewed, none has yet been
established. The last communication re
celved from Pierola announces that he feels
convinced that the country requires
peace, and that he is willing to
treat, providing matteis be al
lowed to revert to the position
in which they were prior to the battle of
Mirsfiores. This proposition the victors
refuse to listen to. He has appointed
General Montero Political Chief, with
supreme authority in all the Northern
departments, and Dr. Solar holds a similar
appointment in the South. This appears to
indicate an Intention to retain the command

car named James Hayden, from Lebanon,
Ky., suddenly pulled out a pistol and
commenced firing among the passengers.
Wm. Lewis was shot through the brain and

Financial Record ln London for th#
Week.
London, March s. —The Economist of this
week says “The rate of discount for bank
bills for sixty days to three months is 2% to
2% per cent., and for trade bills to 3
per cent. The Stoek Exchange up to the
end ot last week continued gloomy, and
business was comparatively slack. The
condition of tbe American markets caused
uneasiness. The Intelligence of Sun
day’s disaster in the Transvaal pro
duced a distinctly adverse Impression,
as it was believed that the government’s ex
penditure must be largely increased thereby.
On Tuesday there was a rather more assured
feeling, which was aided by the revival is
New York and the buoyancy In Paris. On
Wednesday unfavorable traffic returns caus
ed a renewal of despondency in home rail
ways, although in the other departments the
tendency was favorable. Oa Thursday
and Friday most securities dependent
on foreign markets continued
in demand. Altogether the movements of
the week were very Irregular. There Is a
considerable amount of speculative busi
ness in mining shares. Buoyancy in for
eign governments has again become
striking. The Continental Bourses are re
markably firm. United States funded loans
are again in fair demand, in consequence of
the failure of the funding bill. During the
last few days there has been generally a re
covery in American railroad.”

days.
After some further remarks on this sub
ject, the President Inquired after the busi
ness of the several departments in a general
way. The only matter of Importance which
was brought to th* attention of the meet
ing was presented by Acting Secretary

banks, recently received at the Treasury
Department, that they may be allowed to
redeposit bonds withdrawn, and take out ot
the Treasury the legal tenders deposited for
the retirement of their circulation. The
subject was discussed to some extent,
without conclusion.

Danville, Pa., March 6.— The main
building of the State hospital for the in

and was almost entirely destroyed. Nearly
1 five hundred patients were in the institu
tion, all of whom were removed without con
fusion or loss of life. At the time the fire

systematic robberies have been discovered
in the National Bank of Virginia,amounting

but a small amount, as Keesee’s bond will
cover nearly half his deficits. His friends
will make up the greater portion of the bal
ance to over $23,000. The money was sto
len bv Joseph 8. Keesee, one of the book
keepers in charge oi the individual accounts,

and Family on ttae Train, but Cu
ll art.
Bixtimoki, March J>. —A collision oc
curred about two o’clock this afternoon at
Severn station, fourteen miles south of this
city, on the Baltimore and Potomac Road,
between the second section of the fast train
North,which left Washington at ll:10p. m.,
and a train with empty passenger cars
drawn by two engines, going South to
Washington. The train from Washington
was made up of four Pullman sleeping
cars next to the engine and tender, the
first of which was a special car chartered by
J. Wyman Young, of SbamokiD, Pa., con
taining friends of Mr. Young and citizens of
Shamokin and vicinity. The next contain
ed the Cleveland City Troop, which was the
special escort to President Garfield from
Cleveland to Washington, and was returning
u a special escort to ex-President Hayes. The
fifth coach contained ex-President Hayes
and family and friends. The sixth coach
was the special car of James Mason, coun
sel of the Lake Bhore Road, and A. C. Arm
strong, an officer of the same road, from
Cleveland. It contained the families
of these gentlemen and their friends,
and was followed by a baggage
car. Next came the special car of Daniel
Pells, President of the Ohio Central Road
and President of the Commercial Bank of
Cleveland, in which ware his family and
friends. This coach was followed by a car
containing twelve horses of the Cleveland
Troop, and made up the train at the time
of the collision.
The north bound train was going at a
rapid speed. The first Pullman car, which
was the special car chartered by Mr. Young,
received the shock ot the collision and was
partially telescoped into the second car con
taining the members of the Cleveland
Troop. Mr. YouDg was instantly killed,
and six passengers were Injured. Eleven
railroad men were also wounded.
As soon as information of the collision
was received here, a wrecking train was
sent out with the surgeons of the company
to attend the wounded, which returned to
Baltimore with all the passengers and
wounded, reaching Union depot between
five and six o’clock. The wounded are be
ing properly cared for, and most of the
passengers are at the hotels.
Ex-President Hayes and family are at
Samuel M. Shoemaker’s. The passengers
and each of the wounded as are able will
leave for their respective destinations to
night. Messrs. Mason and Armstrong state
that none of the Cleveland citizens
are at all injured. None of the
cars were damaged,"except the first and
second Pullman cars, as previously stated.
All three engines were badly wrecked.
The officers of the Baltimore and
Potomac Road state that the empty
train, drawn by two engines,
was started for Washington with the ex-
Eress instruction to lie over on the siding at
evern station until the second section of
the fast train from Washington had passed.
That order was disobeyed and the collision
resulted.
Bai.timorb, March 6.—The wreck of the
collision on the Baltimore and Potomac
Railroad has all been cleared from the
track, and up to noon to-day twelve trains,
comprising one hundred and thirty-seven
cars, mostly filled with troops and visitors
to Washington, passed through the city, en
route for the East and West. Henry Free
burn, the engineer of the empty train, and
whose skull was fractured In the collision,
was so much improved this morning
that he was removed to Washington,
where he resides. He bad written
orders to run regardless to Severn station
and there wait the arrival of train No. 10,
a fast train which had the right ot way.
John Urglaub, engineer of No. 10, had
written orders to run to Severn and there
wait for Freeburn’s train. Freeburn dis
obeyed by passing the siding at Severn, and
the collision could not be avoided by the
north bound train. All the wounded who
remain in this city are reported by the rail
road officers to be doing well.

it. Without entering at this time into
minor details of difference or the later
incidents that have pushed exasperation
to hostility, we will name the broader
features of the controversy. The Trans
vaal is a region that includes all the
country to the north of the "Vaal river—
and hence the name—as far as the Lim
popo (or Crocodile) river, and embraces
both sides of the Quathlamba Moun
tains. It lies between latitude 22 de
grees 15 minutes and 28 degrees 40 min
utes south, and longitude 26 degrees to
32 degrees 10 minutes cast. Its area is
about one hundred and fifteen thousand
square miles, and its population is esti
mated at three hundred thousand, of
whom about one-tenth are whites.
Now certain Dutch Boers who lived
in Cape Colony and Natal became dis
satisfied with British rule. They did
not take kindly to a change which to the
old Hollanders of Manhattan made so
little difference. Like the people of
the Orange Free State they thought they
would like a government of their own
The Scotch were consoled for the merg
ing of their nationality by the considera
tion that a Scottish dynasty was seated
on the British throne; and it was long
ago pointed out to Dutch colonists
whose country was ceded to England
that the circumstance of a Dutch Prince
having ascended the English throne
should reconcile themselves in a like
manner. But the Boers failed to see the
matter in this light; such comfort they
thought might have been very well for
contemporaneous enjoyment, but was of
little worth merely as a reminiscence.
Thus it was that in 1840 these dissatis
fied Boers marched, like so many modern
Hebrews, out of the land of their mas
ters and set up a republic for themselves
on the further side of the Vaal. JThey
deemed this to be free territory, and
thought that at least they would only
have to contest their footing with sav
ages. For a long time they cherished
hopes that Great Britain would allow
them to enjoy their independence in
peace. But for some special reasons,
apart from her customary lust for terri
tory, Great Britain began to feel other
wise disposed. One plausible reason
given out for interference was the fear
of a general war between the natives of
Africa and the European colonists; and
at last, in 1847, the Transvaal was for
mally annexed to the Cape Colony.
Such, in brief, is an outline of the '
events that have led up to the present
war. England wants the Transvaal, like
its neighbors, Natal and Cape Colony,
to be added to the list of imperial pos
sessions, and asserts a claim to the soil
nrior to the Boer occupation; and the
Boers want their independence. We
have said enough to indicate alike the
validity of their claim to this independ
ence, and also, unfortunately, their
slender chance of forcibly maintaining it.
Some time ago an old man in northern
lowa wrote to relatives in the East ask
ing for aid, as there was to be a hard
winter, and he was likely to suffer.
None responded except a niece, who was
a school teacher, and who sent him fifty
dollars, and said that she would send
him more soon as she drew her salary.
He wrote hack that the fifty dollars was
plenty, and that she need not send him
any more. Last December the old man
died and left the niece thirty thousand
dollars.
The divorce bill just introduced by the
Italian Minister of Justice authorizes
dissolution of marriage when one of the
parties has been condemned for any
offense to hard labor, and also after they
have been legally separated for five years
if there are children, and three years if
there has been no issue to the marriage.

j ingXeict : The M&rdi-Grss festivities are at
| length over, and the Crescent City is now ex
periencing the quiet of the Lenten season.
Since the war ended, the display has, I learn
from general report, never been more magnifi
cent. The city was crowded with visitors from
North, South, East and West. The
hotels were literally crammed, and
there was not even a private house which was
not filled long before the festive season began,
while up to the very day on which the great
parade of ‘ Bex” and “the Mystiek Krewe of
Rooms” were to take place, every train and
boat arriving at the city were filled to reple
tion. Indeed, so great was the rush that many
of the guests coming by the river were forced
to take up their quarters on their respective
boats, and there live. Thanks to the kind hos
pitality of Mr. and Mrs. Henry 8. Vose, the
former an old merchant of New Orleans, I
was most fortunate in bslng charmingly enter
tained.
It would take up too much of your space to
attempt to describe aU the festivities ot the
Mardi-Oras season In detail; nor is it neces
sary, sinoo, I presume, you have had a very
full account of them by telegraph. They be
gan in reality on Thursday last, when the
Knights of Momtts gave their grand parade,
consisting of a series of tableaux or floats
drawn through the streets by horses, and illus
trative of well known Christmas stories of
j Hans Christian Andersen, This I did not see.
but from the full descriptions I have received
it was very fine.
On Saturday last it was announced that His
Gracious Majesty, Rex Carol vail, had arrived,
with his retinue, at the jetties just below this
city, from his Oriental dominions, and great
preparations were made for his suitable recep
tion in this, his favorite capital. On Monday
he arrived, and, having been received with a
royal salute, made his grand entrance, aad
was tendered the keys and entire control of
the city. He is (or rather was) a very venera
ble old gentleman, with long, flowing grey
beard, and was accompanied by numerous
officers of his court—all appointed to execute
the royal pleasure in any maimer in wh’ch it
might see fit—and a body guard of genuine
Moore, which he had transported all the way
from his African domains to guard the royal
Jewels and baggage.
His march through the chief thoroughfares
of the capital was one grand ovation. Hun
dreds of thousands of his ioyal subjects
thronged his pathway to do him homage, and
so enthusiastic and sincere was their alle
giance that it must have gladdened the heart
of his venerable Majesty. I learn that this
powerful monarch is now in the one thousand
and first year of his age.
Having received the homage of hla subjects,
the King gave gracious permission to every
one to promenade the streets at pleasure,
and to do their will In all things, due considera
tion being had of course to moderation, for it
was distinctly understood that any lawlessness
or flagrant breach of good manners would be
promptly taken notice of by His Majesty's
civil authorities. Right well did the thousands
present heed the King’s withes in this respeet,
and, at the same time,show their great respect
for their monarch. Not a quarrel even, much
less a breach of the peace, occurred to mar
the pleasures of the occasion. Never in my
life have I seen so large and so remarkably
orderly a concourse.
The following day, Tuesday, ss soon
as the multitude began stirring, prepara
tions were made for enjoying the scenes, and
sights to be presented on this the last day of
the Carnival. Not only was the street through
which Rex was to pass early thronged almost
to sufi.ication bv his subjects, but every win
dow, balcony, and indeed every possible eleva
tion which could afford the slightest faoility
for seeing the procession was occupied for
hours before His Majesty made his appear
ance. At length, however, the line we*
formed and the parade began. It was headed
by Rex Himself, seated in a gorgeeus car
drawn by twelve horses, while, standing
by his side, was the “Royal Fanner,”
whose duty it was to see that His Majesty did
not suffer from the heat. This he was enabled
to do by means of a huge fan which he car
ried. Thus for the Fecond time Rex graciously
showed himself to "his subjects, whose manifes
tations of loyalty he received, along the route,
with graceful inclinations of the royal head.
Behind blm followed in quick succession a
rerles of about sixteen tableaux, illustrative of
stories from the Arabian Nights Entertain
ments. His Majestv having personally super
vised the preparation of these tableaux in
Arabia before embarking for his Ameri
can capital, they were gorgeous In the
extreme, and wholly true to nature. The vast
concourse manifested their happiness over
them by loud applause, which was invariably
recognized by showers of bon bong from the
various floats as they passed on. It was in
deed a gorgeous sight. Follow log in rear of
the royal cavalcade came a procession of the
“Phunny Phorty Phellows,” whose humorous
satires oa modem society elicited shouts of
hearty laughter and applause. The entire pro
cession was, I suppose, a mile in length, aad
was about three quarters of an hour passing a
given point.
The parade of Rex being over, the assem
blage dispersed to their homes and other
places, there to await the festivities of the
evening, when “the Mystic Krewe of Komus”
were to give a grand parade, after which the
entire city was to be given up to dancing and
Joy. Punctually at 8 o’clock the evening pa
rade began. It was headed by Oomus, the god
of mirth and humor, who was seated upon the
back of a mammoth peacock, the brilliant
plumage of whose expanded tail tarnished
a eoft reclining place for ita master, while
ruddy flames constantly extending from its feet
served to add additional splendor to the rcene.
This triumphal car of the god was followed
by a series of beautiful and magnificent floats
; Illustrative of the egends, mythology andtra
i ditions of the Norseland. They were all grand
i aud beautiful, and as they passed along Ulu
j minated by brilliant lights of their own, to
which was added the colored lights and flre
! works from the street, one might well imagine
i himself In the realms of the cld Scandinavian
gods. An attempt to describe tha various
floats and scenes presented would only mar
them. They were costly, refining and instruct
ive. as well as beautiful.
This parade being over, the festivities began
in earnest, and vast crowds of invited guest*
flocked to the Opera House, the 8k Charles
Theatre and the Exposition Hall to attend the
balls given respectively by the Mystiek Krewe,
the "Phuuny Phortiee” and Rex. All were su
perb, but the scene at the Opera House was
one of the most charming I ever saw. Every
seat was taken, and, with few exceptions, were
filled with ladles, all elegantly dressed, In the
unexceptionable taste for which New Orleans
ladies have long beea noted. Such
an array of loveliness it has never
before been my good fortune to see,
and the sight will long be reflected on my
memory. It was Indeed a perfect garden of
beautiful girls. At all these balls the dancing
was inaugurated by the maskers, who, after
mingling in the throng for an hour or more,
about 12 o’clock quietly and mysteriously disap
peared, and were no more seen. Their guests,
however, kept up the festivities until the wee
hours, for by common consent Ash Wednesday
was not to begin until sunrise.
Thus ended the Carnival, and New Orleans
bade farewell to meat ( cami vale) tor forty
days in a blaze of glory. The exhibition must
have cost In all tally one hundred thousand
dollars, but it was money well expended, for
there were at least twenty thousand strangers
in the city, and as each one spent on an average
at least ten dollars, the sum was returned to
the city with at least 100 per eent. interest.
On yesterday (Ash Wednesday) the city was as
quiet as if nothing had occurred. Thousands
went to church, and the transfer from mirth
to ashes was complete. The carnival was
upon the whole, a perfect success, and en
joyed by all. I met several Sevannahians oa
the occasion, and among them one of the
fairest of the fair daughters of the beau
tiful Forest City. Every one of these seemed
to enter heartily into the spirit of the
occasion and to enjoy themselves te the ut
most. Mardi-Gras, 1881, will long be remem
bered by all who were fortunate enough to
participate therein, and many will look for
ward with bright anticipations to the enjoy
ment ot another grand Carnival twelve months
hence. As for myself, to Mr. and Mrs. Vose.
and many kind friends whom I have met here,
lam indebted for one of the most pleasant
visits of my life. w.
Here is another Ohio idea: The minis
ter of a Methodist revival, at Belle
fontaine, in one meeting got down on all
fours, and capered up and down the
aisle, to illustrate a dog simile; and on
another occasion several of the sisters
seized a young sinner of their own sex,
and forcibly carried her to the chancel.
She cried for help, and was rescued by
her mother.
There is no better bon mot in literature
than the reply of a girl who heard ter
father criticised severely across a dinner
table. The careless critic paused a mo
ment to say: “I hope he is no relative
of yours, Miss L.,” and quick as thought
she replied with the utmost nonchalence:
“Only a connection of my mother’s by
marriage.”

SUN STORMS.
Great Commotion on the Hot*
Fire Ball —An Interesting Talk
About It.
Providence Journal.
It Is pitiful to witness the condition of
the sun. The great fire ball la in intense
commotion. His surface is seamed and
scarred in every direction with black
spots that indicate the disturbing ele
ments at work in his chaotic mass. Oc
casionally, for a day or two the blem
ishes disappear, and the glorious king of
day shows a face like a shield of glow
ing gold. But the aspect quickly
changes ;'spots come rushing in all direc
tions and assuming all forms. They ap
pear singly and m pairs, and again in
groups and rows. Immense groups
break up into small ones, and
small ones unite to form great
chasms, into which half a dozen
worlds might be dropped and there would
still be room for more. Sometimes the
spots are visible to the naked eye, and
at that time a good opera glass or a spy
glass will make them easily perceptible.
Hundreds of observers all over the world
watch the sun’s face every clear day,
and keep a Record of the number of
spots, their size, and the direction in
which they move; for, as the sun turns
on hia axis, they turn with him, some of
them remaining for months without
much change, some taking new forms,
and some disappearing entirely. Very
little is kno-n of this mysterious sun or
the spots mat are visible more than
ninety millions of miles away.
Once in about eleven years the sun
takes on his present sun-spot phase, and
we are approaching the maximum of
disturbance. No one knows the cause.
Some believe that it is planetary attrac
tion, some that it is the fall of great
masses of meteoric matter, and some
that it is the result of internal oommo
tion and the rush upward of gaseous
explosions, in comparison with which
our fiercest volcanic eruptions are but
the flicker of a flame. Besides the sun
spot agitation, the gaseous outbursts are
marked and vivid. The tongues of flame
or rosy protuberances are darting forth
iu all directions and bearing tbeir testi
mony to the solar commotion. Mr.
Trevelot of Cambridge, who makes
daily observation of the sun’s chromo
sphere, gives a graphic description of
a remarkable solar protuberance that he
witnessed on the 16th of November.
When first seen it was large and compli
cated, extending upward from the sun
about 100,000 miles. Three or four
hours after, it had developed into huge
proportions, extending far out into space,
and vanishing gradually to regions
where it could not be perceived. As
nearly as it could be measured, it reach
ed a height of over a quarter of the sun’s
diameter, or about 235,000 miles. Such
a protuberance hurled upward from the
earth would almost reach the moon l
Two hours after the whole structure had
collapsed and was only about 18,000
miles high. Observations like this give
an idea of the mighty force at work in
the solar orb, and make observers long
for the time when a satisfactory solution
may be found for this mysterious peri
odical solar disturbance, so intimately
connected with the meteoroligical con
dition of the earth.
