At lliw Old Tricks.
Jake Christian, an old resident of
the City Guard House and the County
Jail (from which latter plaee he has
been but recently released), has been
at his old tricks again. On Monday
night he stole from a tailor’s shop, on
Jackson street, a pair of pants, just
finished for a customer, and has not
yet been found, although his friends
are looking very anxiously for him.
Jake is like the boy who didn’t mean
any harm, only be couldn’t let things
alone.
The Colored Schools,
Under the auspices of the American
.Missionary Association, in this city,
have been reopened for the Winter
terms. Parents who fail to avail
themselves of this opportunity to edu
cate their children Will be very
neglectful of their duty. Education
comes nearer than any other thing to
making people equal.
•• n. i». s,-
When shall we three meet again ?”
the article which attracted so much
notice in our issue of the Sth instant,
will be published in our Weekly of
the 14th November. An extra
edition will be printed in order to sup
ply the demand which our daily edition
entirely failed to meet, although we
sold about 200 extra copies. Look out
for our Weekly Republican, which
will be ready on Saturday next.

Hearth and Home.
This is the title of a weekly literary
and family paper, to be issued on or
about the first of January next. As its
name indicates, it will be devoted to
fireside and home reading exclusively,
and also handsomely illustrated. We
have the assurance of its publishers
that it will neither be partisan or
sectarian, and will contain in its
columns nothing offensive to the most
fastidious reader. Mr. Donald G.
Mitchell has the editorial charge, to
be assisted by a large corps of asso.
dates and correspondents, among
whom are Mrs. Harriet Bee< her
Stowe. AddressPettengii.l, Bates
& Co., 37 Park Row, N. Y.
Give un Your Z3T on That.
Our brother of the Sandersville
Georgian expresses himself like a true
man in the following, which is the
closing paragraph of an article on the
late election:
As to General Gram, the successful candi
date for the Presidency, we have not the
slightest doubt he will do the very best he
can for the whole country over the destinies
of which he is called to preside. Trusting
that this may Tie his course, we shall sus
pend judgment, hoping for the fieri, until the
worst is forced upon ns.
To M. it. and P.
Dear Sirs: I’vcroul tlie naughty trick,
Which on you late Wits playetf
And I despise tire fellqav who
I’fdtcud; to bda maid;
For thus he really injures those
Who arc such, I’m afraid.
Supposing now, in truth, 1 wrote
To either one of you—
How much attention would you pay
To my sweet billet do>u- ?
You would not be so keen to bile,
Another time —would you ?
While I despise the dirty trick.
'Tis wonderful to ine
How well he picked the very men
Who would so ready be!
Oh, 1 declare it is a shame,
And injury to me.
The chance I’ve lost—the darling beaux
1 might had, you know,
If. 1 had only known ipJiipo,
You wanted to do so;’
But that confounded fellow went
And made you such a show
A Genuine Amelia.
Johu Robinson's Cireus mid He
■iiigcric.
This largest of all combinations ar’
rived during the night last night, and
will give two grand entertainments to
day- oiie at two ami the other at seven
o'clock, this afternoon and evening.
The reputation of the old veteran,
John Robinson, is too well known in
this locality to need special commen
dation from us; but wc understand
his establishment has so much that is
new and good, in addition to the at
tractions of last season, that we would
be remiss in our duty, did wc not re
mind the public of it. Alons. FraN-
Jconi. from the I‘aris (Jjibpie, with his
dancing horses; George M. Kelley,
who leaps over seventeen horses; La
Relle Cordelia, the greatest living
female bareback equestrienne; the
colored boy, Lewis, whose hurdle act
has elicited the applause of the world;
ami Pete Conklin, the popular and
eccentric local jester—added to the
old superior attractions —forms a grand
entertainment, whose excellence could
not well be doubted.
The Menagerie is considerably en- ■
larged, and is now confessed complete
and attractive.
The procession will pass through.
Broad and Greene streets at precisely
ten o’clock.
Grant and Peace.
We believe there is a wry large
number of conservative utcii in Geor
gia, who, if they would give expres
sion to their true sentiments, are now
willing to bury past animosities and
unite in a manly effort ,to restore
peace and tranquility to our State.
Every true patriot who fought on
either side during the war desires the
return of a lasting peace. The elec
tion of Grant tends first of all to give
strength to the peace party of the
country. Let all good men join hands
and trample into dust the disorganize i s
who would destroy our laws and dis
pel all hojres of a bright day of happi
ness and peace.
The Fraud Proven.
A special telegram to the Cincin
nati Gazette, says that investigations
into the fraudulent naturalization
case, in Jersey City, show that Col.
Treadwei.i. had been dealing exten
sively in forged papers, and selling
them at two dollars each to any one
who wished to buy. The ■testimony
against him was very dear ami direct,
and will probably take him to the
penitentiary. Three witnesses testi
fied that Tkeadwei.i. bad told them
he was in the business, and was ex
hibiting papers ready for .sale, as well
as money obtained for some he sold.
One of the witnesses was C- C. Bunn,
who said TbEaowf.ll called on him
at his office, and exhibited fraudulent
:>apers ready for sale. lie told how
ninch money he had received from
candidates for fraudulent papers, and
described his mode of dealing. Bums
advised him how to act so as to have
the least evidence against him, and
especially cautioned him to. receive
his money directly from candidates,
and not through third parties. Two
other arrests have been made in
Jersey City, ami probably the pris
oners will be examined as soon as
Treadwell’s case is finished.
Luxuries.
Our contemporaries of Macon are
enthusiastic in their praises of “ the
first shad” of the season, which was
served up on the 10th instant to a
select party, by t apt. Henry J>.
Ells; and those of Atlanta are re
joicing in tho anticipation bf So/fie
daq riding on the street ears.
Sad Disappointment.
The Sandersville Georgian states
that, as soon as (he result ol the Pres
idential election in that (Wasliington)
county was known, an extra an
nouncing the particulars was issue<l
from that office and mailed to all its
daily exchanges ; and, strange to say,
not one of these extras ever reached
their destination! We are sdVfy that
such a rare display of journalistic en
ter]nrise iwas all for nought. Never
mind ; try again, brother.
—The yield of gold and silver from
1492 to I*6B was fourteen billions of
dollars, of which there are two hun
dred millions more, of gold than of sil
ver. . ~ ,
Important, to Idlers.
The Sumter Reppblietip states that
a (rcedtnan, in that county, w he, )>y
his industry and economy, had siived
three hundred dollars, rented, in March
last, seventy-five acres of land, which
he planted in cotton, and succeeded in
cultivating it with two old horses
purchased at seventy-five dollars each.
Ai’ii reward for his l.ibor, he will
gather twenty-live bales of cotton,
worth twenty-five hundred dollars.

The Weekly National Republi
can has an extensive circulation
over the adjacent counties—thus afford
ing an excellent opportunity to Adver
tisers to extend their business notices.
Woman in Black.—A Paris paper
says: “Every year, on the same day,
at the same hour, a beautiful woman,
of about thirty-five, comes to the
Palais Royal on foot, and enters the
famous ‘Freres Proveneaux.’ She is
always alone, always dressed in black,
and deeply veiled. She wears no orna
ments that might attract attention ;
no jewels, save two beautiful black
pearls in her cars. W ithout saying
a word to any one, she walks quickly
up the stairs and enters the private
room No. 4. The proprietor of the
establishment, who knows her ways,
orders her dinner, consisting always
of the same dishes. These are all
placed upon the table at the same
time, and the mysterious lady is left
to herself for about two hours. No bill
is made out; the unknown visitor
leaves one of her pearl ear rings in
payment. For twelve years, we are
told, she has come this way, always
melancholy-looking, always dressed in
black. Who <jan she be? The waiters
surnamed her ‘La Princess aux Pe
ries.’”
• •
A Queer Sermon.—A Mexican
Priest had the bad luck, last summer,
to fall into the hands of a gang of
highwaymen. As he had no money
about him, these knights of St. Nicho
las clamored for a sermon. He
preached without notes, but the lan
guage was, in substance, as follows :
Gentlemen, J can not honor you better
tlnui by comparing your life with that of
our Saviour, while qn earth. He suffered
much; so do you, being always fugitives.
Christ went with his disciples; and so arc
you always ill gangs. He visited the Phari
sees and Scribes; you also go to see the peo
ple who are not better than they. He often
suffered from rain and wind, cold, heat and
insults; so do you suffer from the same in
conveniences. ' Christ went barefoot and
with but one dress: and it seems tome that
you do not possess more than you cany on
your bodies He carried no silver and gold
about him ; I (to not Tlimk that your pockets
are always tilled. He fasted forty days in
the desert ; and 1 believe that you do often
the same. lie was tempted by the devil;
you are always in that condition, lie was
carried to the pinnacle id the temple and the
top of the highest mountain ; the devil takes
you to the most isolated places where you
waylay the traveller. Christ suffered from
hunger and thirst; the same infirmities attack
you. He was scorned by all; so arc you
despised by mankind. The Jews wanted to
hang him; so are the authorities after you
for the same purpose. He was sold by Judas;
and no doubt somebody will play that part
among you.
