We have received the October Nos. of n M'tfiaziw, and the Hestmimifer Quarterly Review, from the house of the Leonauu Scott Pub lishing Co., 140 Fulton street, New York. Both the Magazine and Review ue replete with excellent articles, as " -ual. J. L. Peters, Music publisher, P. O. Box 5,429, New York, sends u< the Novemlter number of the Glee Hire, containing fourteen page* of Music; also, Peters' Parlor Compan ion fnir Piute, VMin and Pirenoft. Last night, about 7, p m., a badly tightened itji t part o! a ImOK -- and part oi a Imgj^. ran down Ila pat etalmt, oit the north side 1 street, at a break-neck speed. The cry of “look out” passed down the street about as rapidly as the horse, and came very near having a bad efteot, as one geutlomiui, in attempting to “ look bril,” wits ncltrly run over. This reminds us of a little anecdote of a Frenchman, who was a passenger on a canal boat, in canal boat times: Just as .the boat was under one of the low bridges in front of the carnal, the helmsman sstngjoui at Bhe top of his voice, “ l.ook out.” The Fretrehman obeyed by stretching his neck out of the window, an<l well nigh had the wp Os his head oft’, “ Sacrc,” says the Frenchman, rubbing his sQre pate; “Damn ze countree. When you say look out you mean look in." Later—Was this the horse that left a Georgian and South Carolinian lying in the road night lirfory last, V'itl l ribs broken? If so, we presume the horse has not stopped yet. - - - - A Tuttle CoMlideuee G«in<‘. Au aged colored couple came to this city on the afternoon train of Tuesday Last, from Atlanta, being on then' way from Mississippi to their old home, near Goldsboro, N. C. They had in their possession coiisidera]»le baggage and ample means to continue their journey. Not knowing where ta remain until they couljl Lak»> the Wilmington train, they stopped al»out the depot. About dusk otic Rot: ’Wai-KE!:, a fasertfty’ thief of their own color, came to them, and finding out their intentions in re gard to going on to North Carolina, offered very kindly to show them where they could find lodgings for the night, and rery humanely put the oil folks’ baggage on his shoulder. They followed him away up above the upper market, where he stopped them and told them to wait until he stepped into the house to see if they could stop there ; they, thinking it was all right, stopped until they began to think lie staid a lung while, and on enquiry found thao the scamp had gone through some,back way, and taken with him all they owned in the world. Since then these unfortunate creatureshave, been in this city without home or friends, and do not know how they are to proceed on their journey. Tire police have been unable to catch Walicejx, but we learn that he Is well known md will be, probably, brought to grief. Cannot something be done for these poor creatures ? Georgia Vfasonic Insurance Com pany. The Augusta copies the pro- xudings of the annual meeting of the Geoi jia MasoMc Mutual Life Insurance Coin :>any, held in this city on Friday night, 3(lth alt., and says: “We arc pleased to note the, ay, parent pros perous condition of the Company; but can- , not understand why the fee tor admission to inembei'ship has been increased from six to j twelve dollars, or what it is projiosed to do with the additional twenty-one thousand and 1 add dollars to be thus raised. We feel inter ested, as a member, and, in Ixdialf of many other members hereabouts, respectfully re quest to be enlightened on the subject. ’Will our Brother Burke, the Company’s Secretary, furnish the information? 5 ’ In reference to this inquiry, the Set rotary of the Company has furnished us with the following: Geougta Masonic Motual Lht Ixst - r.ante Company.—ln answer to an inquiry fiom the National Republican-, as well as from other sources, in regard to changes made in fee for membership in Jhe above Company, I state: In the original formation of the Company there was no adequate provision made for expenses, as the $6 for membersbip was placed in a permanent fund, the interest only to be used for expenses. At the recent meet ing it was found that this interest did not meet the necessary exj>vnscs by alxjut SI,BOO. The question then arose as to the best inode of meeting expenses, which were constantly increasing as the Company grew. We had to choose between making new members ]iay a heavier enliaucefee, who come in now with all the advantages enjoyed by earlier mem tiers, who had paid entrance fee and sl9 assessments, or assessing the old members additional amounts. The Company wisely chose, the latter mode, and now aft new laym bers must pay sl2, and the overplus of $6 goes to the contingent fund, while the other goes, as heretofore, to the permanent fund. If this contingent fund should increase so as to make it practicable, we shall place all over the amount necessary to meet actual expenses to the credit of members on assessments. As to expenses, we challenge the world to show where a Company; doing as much busi ness, overdid it on so small a show of ex penses. Kespectfiilly, J. W. Bl It KE, Secretary and Treasury. We thank Brother Burke, of the Macon Journal <C Altsecnycr, for his prompt, courteous and satisfactory re sponse to our inquiry. By reference to Sunday morning’s issue of the Na tional Reul bi.iuan, he will jievceive that his explanation was antidpated by our Rev. Brother Kev, and that we were prompt to acknowledge Lis courtesy. Nnpport oFa Bankrupt.

The. Siccle, of Paris publishes an artiulo Very intereatkig to sportsmen, ami states that with a very little care many accidents coulil be avoided.- Out of 100 cases of bursting of double barreled gluts, -W» can be traced to defects in the left barrel. The rea son is simply that the right is most fre quently used and reloaded, perhaps ten times to the left one being discharged once. Every time the right barrel is discharged the gunpowder in the left is pulverized more'or less by the shock, which, therefore, leaves a space be tween the charge and the wadding by settling. Naturally when the left bar rel is discharged it frequently explodes- The accident can be avoided by send' ing the ram rod home with one or two smart blows, into the non discharged barrel every time the other is reloaded. KobiiiNon’N 4'ircus is <’oining. There is a charm in the name of ‘‘Boiunsvx’k.Circus.” It is now more years than we care to tell since we first beheld the mysteries of the“ring” beneath his pavilion. Since that time we have never been able to get over our preference for this show, and whether or not it is one of the best in th' country-, we have always been accu'touted to so consider it. This circus is billed for this place on Thurs day and Friday next. I lis agents have fairly illuminated the city, to the edifi cation of all the small boys, all of whom I are agog lor the big show. Tho circus is artonqianied by four teen dens of wild animals, birds, etc., wliich those who have scruples against the circus may take their children to see. Kale Bet.
