Tift regular meeting of this Association, appointed to be held at Atlanta on the —2d instant, is postponed until further notice. A cool Chants. The cool weather of the past few days has been a pleasant change from the long heated spell. There is generally a cool week about the middle of August, and the “oldest inhab" itants” affirm that it has been known to be so chilly during that exceptional week that overcoats were comfortable. The present change is accompanied by an easterly wind, which to the careless means pneumonia and other similar complaints. “Becoming’*Contrasts in Colors. The following is a good rule for finding the contrast of any color: "Cut out a circu it piece of the petal of any flower and put it on white paper, look at it fixedly for a tew seconds with one eye, then look off the color on to a piece of white paper, and you will see a bright ring of another color ; that ring or circle is the right Complementary color or contrast to the color in the petal.” Bate Ball. » The game of ball, in one form or another, seems to have been a favorite gymnastic exercise from very early limes. Il is alluded to in the Odyssey of Homer, who wrote and flourished about a thousand years before Christ. History assures us that it was a favorite game with the Spartan youth, while, so much were their neighbors, the Athenians, in love with it, that they erected a statue in honor of Aristokicus on account of his skill in the game. Among the Romans it was played by persons of all ages; audit is related by Pliny that one old man— Svumkna by name —preserved himself from decrepi tude by his constant exercise in ball playing in the Middle Ages it was a favorite game with the students of France, Germany, and Italy, where it is still popular—especially in the season of spring; and the same has long been true of England and this‘country. Doubtless all elderly people perfectly well recollect how common was the practice, forty and fifty years ago, of celebrating the early spring time by the game of bull. The ball, of course, is the great and only essential and constant element in this exer cise, while the modes of playing are nu merous and diversified. The ball is thrown with the hand, or it is struck by a bat, or it is kicked with the foot; while, by whatever mode the sport is carried on, it is accompa nied with no inconsiderable excitement. Within a few years, the game of base ball has had a wonderful revival, so that it has amounted to almost a rage ; although, as a rage, it has, we think, had its day, as is almost certain to be the case with all amuse ments or excitements that spring up sud denly,’and proceed with a rush, and over spread the community as an epidemic. Thus tire game of croquet— so universally popular a year ago—evinces, this present summer, unmistakable symptoms of decline ; and wo shall not be disappointed if, a twelvemonth hence, the click of-those delicate mallets will have utterly died away from every pleasant lawn in tow» and country. We regret the decadence of this interesting gates, affording, as it daps, a genial out-di»or amusement for young fadtes, Mud presenting to the passer-by a scene of sprightly and picturesque "beauty, while suggesting also, to the benevolent eye pleasant ideas of health, contentment and happiness. So also we must regret the decline of the base ball game, although such decline is perfectly natural, and a prominent cause there entirely palpable. The cause consists in what we can not help stigmatizing as an abuse of this noble athletic sport; which abuse is morally certain to run itself out of breath as it is also to work a mischievous decline of the game itself. The true use of the base ball game is that, like the more common gymnastic'exercises, it be practiced daily, or at least frequently and statedly; that it be played with suitable moderation, both as to exertion and time, and at such an hour as will not interfere with business hours, regular meals, or any other duties. This is the common-sense practice in the exercises of the gymnasium as pursued at Schools and elsewhere. And this is manifestly cor rect. In other words, the game should be made—as it is eminently fitted to be made — a strong, manly, and highly beneficial exer cise. But when this same game degenerates into a species of match game, and fulls, to a large extent, into the hands of what may be termed crack players; and when these same crack players, from different localities, go abroad and contend with one another for the mastery, we are among those who think' this whole thing is an abuse, and that it goes out in mischief rather than benefit, to all concerned. A man can take exercise in walking running, jumping, leaping, lifting, mid the like, but of what ppssible service is it to him that another man, or a company of men, come along and assume to show him how much better they cau do these things 'han himself, and undertake to pervert these his beautiful and daily exercises into match games ? Our advice to all parties' is, play your own games, and play them for the benefit they are capable of imparting. Play them at home; play them regularly. Be content with the healthy exercise thus furnished, auu thus you will use your pleasant recrea tions “as no t abusing them.” What Hwperw must fre Mama« 4. *So intricate and perplexing arc the laws hilling to internal revenue i thflt few can recollect Wbatiiapors Must be stomped,; pud there is often a different opinion among those who claim to be-learned in this kind of law. It is, we believe, pretty certain that stamps must be used- sjg fplluws; All notes aid 1 evidences d? debt, live cents on tach hundred dollars; if under one hundred dollars, five cents; if over one hundred dollars, five cents on each additional hundred dollars or part thereof. All receipts for any amount without limit, over t»veßty : ddllaVs, two ceibts; if twenty dollars or under, nothing. All deeds and deeds of trust, fifty cents on each five hundred dollars in value of the property couveyed or the amount secured ; when a deed in trust is fully stamped, the note secured must not be, but they should be indorsed to show the reason why. Mortgage bonds need not be stamped, if stamps are affixed to the mortgage. AU appraisements, estates, or estrays, five cents on each sheet of paper. Affidavits of every description are exempt from stamp duties. Acknowledg ments of deeds, etc., also exeninU CMtracts and agreements, five cents, fesei pt so? rents; when for rent, fifty cents for each seven , hundred dollars of rent or less, if over • three hundred Hollars; fifty cents for two . hundred dollars, or over three hundred , dollars. Any person interested can affix and . cancel stamps. sidewalk Enqueue. Some of our (Jhestcrfieldian exchages have the following on sidewalks, which we commend to the attention of our readers : Only villagers, or persons with rural ideas, any longer contend that ladies should always be given the inside of the pavement in passing. The rule adopted in all cities is to turn to the right, whether the, right leads to the wall or to the gutter, and an observance of this common sense rule would obviate much unpleasant scrougiog by overgallant gentlemen, who persistently crowd for the outside of tire walk. Another custom, not required by fashionable etiquette, and which is nearly as explainably absorb, is the practice of men filling a church pew, making them selves as ridiculous aS an awkward squad practicing a catch-step in order to give a lady the wrong end of the pew. Another is that of a man, when at promenade or walk with a lady, to keep himself on the outside of the pavement. A little j udgment will convince any person of the perfect uselessness of this bobbing back and forth at every corner. The common rule is this : If men and women are walking together, she should always be at his right arm, whether it be'toward the -inside or outside of the walk ; then the woman will not be shoved against the passers. Those who giggle at persons who follow this rule are themselves the "greenies,” and should read the book of manners before indulge ai a laugh at fashionable Tools. Gov. Bullock. —A little radical sheet in Macon, styling itself the Journal <& Messen ger, says: “Bullock’s government must be broken down in Georgia.” We remember that Jeff. Davis had to get up a conscript act to get such chaps into service. Those who did the least to save tlie Confederacy, are the most difficult to please at this particular time. The bully boys did the least for the “Lost Cause,” and these are the follows Unit are now "spiling” for a fight. What burlesques some people are qn hhiru anity I— New Era. C O M MERC I A L MARKETS.

Informal Meeting, Nuw Orleans, August 15.—An informal meeting was held last liiglit in tho Governor’s office, between prominent members of both parties. Both conceded the danger of a collision [mminent. A Democratic gentle man expressed the opinion that the best and only way to insure peace was to stop the system of aggressive-apppresaive legislation now in progress ; that tms .Democratic con servative elements of thoccmntry expected-to acco.mplish nothing except in a legal and constitutional way, but that it was unwise and improper far a State government to defy the sentiment and wishes of the people; that if the Governor would throw himself upon the people, they would sustain him, and no resort to force be necessary for the preserva tion es peace. Warmoth stated that he’was authorized to say on behalf of the Republi cans that there was nothing in reason that the Republicans can do or concede but will be done to secure harmony, and promised that the measures, not of party politics, obnoxious to the citizens, should be modified. He.said he was in earnest in jii4 desire to secure the welfare of all, and preserve peace and order. Another meeting will be bold in a few days, when it is hoped some practical illustration of the mutual desire for har mony will be presented. Moderate Repub licans, unfortunately but few in number, concede that the system of legislation hereto fore and at present pursued., is calculated to create strife. Democracy says that preserva tion of order is what they most earnestly . desire, and that it resits entirely with the Republicans. Cablegrams.
