A 'Lady Sent to the Asylum,
We know many friends will regret to
hoar that Mrs. Denton, of ltussell county,
whose homo is six miles from Columbus,
has been sent to tho Asylum for the insane
at Tuscaloosa, Ala. Iu charge of friends
she passed through Columbus. She is the
widow of B. Watson Denton, ouo of the
leading nud most successful of tho rising
lawyers in Columbus iu the period just
antedating the war. In 1861 he beoamo
the Quartermaster of tho Third Georgia
Cavalry, then commanded by Col. M. J.
Crawford. He woe crushed to death at
Dalton, Georgia, between two oars which
wore being ooupleJ. His widow, from
mental and other distresses, has been
losing her reason, but there is every hope
that under proper treatment it may be
restored. She has a sou who is rapidly
approaching manhood’s years.
Tho Mail ns* this Afternoon— Ladis*
Should Attend.
A matinee benefit for tho Ladies' Mem
orial Association takes place in the Opera
House at half post two o’clock. The
play selected is “Destiny,” one of great
interest. Tlo Browne Drainatio Compa
ny render it in fine style. This is an en
tertainment specially for the ladies, who
will have an opportunity of testifying how
much they are in earnest and the extent
to which they will aid the cause that all
Southrons so dearly love. The hall should
be crowded. Give tho men an example
that will iuduce them to give more liber
ally. We expect the ladies to be out
in force, for those in Columbus never un
dertake a cause to which they aro so
strongly attached without showing by
their actions they are thoroughly in earn
est. The pity will be found to be one
productive of muoli sincere pleasure, in
dependent of the gratification in aiding a
noble work.

Mr. T. Lowthia Bell, the great English
iron-master, at a dinner recently given

“I have seen most of the mountains of
iron ore in different sections of the world,
but those greatest in quantity and richest
in quality known to me are in Alabama.”
The route of the Savanuah and Mem
phis railroad travorses these mines diag
onally. It becomes a grander enterprise
the more it is oxamined.

That Cotton,
Columbus boasts of having received by
her river navigatian 8.650 bales of cotton
up to tbe preseut time, being 236 more
than she received last year from that
source. Is this uot a rebuke to our busi
ness men? Just to think of that little
Indian town, situated at the Eagle nnd
Phenix factory, coming down and influ.
encing cotton to her portals which justly
belongs to Enfanla. Well, we can console
ourselves with the reflection, that when

alluded to in Columbus, both old and

$25 a yoar thau be married ; that if such
a tax be imposed, the proceeds be devoted
to those who have no fathers to care for
them ; and that Shewmuke will prove a
better shoemaker thau a Legislator, and

It was with a sense of keen mortifica
tion that old Confederate soldiers entered
the Opers House snd found only enongb
people present to pay for the expenses of
tbe hall, troupe, and the neceraary bill
ing of the town. Including all tbe ticket!
fold, the amount was not more than one
hundred and sixty dollars at the utmost.
This, too, when the occasion was a benefit
for tbe Ladies’ Memorial Association to
enable them to build a Confederate monu
ment in Columbus. This, too, after all
tbe resolutions. The paucity of ladies
present was a saddening foot. Very,*ve5y
few of the members of the Memorial So
ciety were present.
The inclemency of the weather may
have had something to do with this
meagre audience, bat no rain fell yester
day.
Let all redeem tbe reputation of our
city to-day. Let the ladies en-masse attend
the matinee this afternoon, and many be
present at the theatre to-night.
Tbe actors, though evidently depressed
by tbe small audience, asssembled, played
the Marble Heart splendidly. Huntley
was superb. Misses Kennedy and Mc
Allister were greatly admired in their re
spective roles.
We hats to say it, but the ladies of Co
lumbus are greatly to be blamed for tbe
financial fiailure of tbe entertainment.
By individual exertions many tickets
could have been sold. Only a few ladies
made the attempt. Will they permit a
failure to-day ? We trust not. Let every
one do what she can. It depends very
much upon the ladies whether any large
amount can be raised by the ontertain-
msDts of to-day.

We mentioned the fact yesterday that
a colored boy had knocked a little white
oue off a wood wagon with a brick for no
good cause, and that the former had been
arrested. Dr. Cheney informs us that
had uot (he white boy boon promptly car
ried to a place where his wound could
have been dressed he wonld have bled to
death. A warrant was taken out against
the darkey. His people, however, made
provision for summary punishment. They
prayed that the darkey youth might bo
given a sound flogging, and they would
pay all expenses of medical services. Onr
iuformation is that this proposition was
accepted; the flogging vigorously given
by a colored innn; expenses paid, and
all that came to Dr. Cheney were given to
the poor mother of the boy who was seri
ously injured. The little white boy,
though hurt badly on tbe head, was able
to be up yesterday.

Are Laboring Classee Betting Foorerf
This is a question just now which is ag
itating tbe philosophers of tho thoughtful
class. We believe here that our saving
institutions arc becoming stronger, but
they show a lamentable falling off in tho
North. Are not tho working class in tho
same category with tho farmers, who, as
a rule, are undoubtedly poorer to-day
than they were the year succeeding tho
war?
A statement recently made in the North
display the true character of the situa
tion there. The official report of the
Chicago Havings banks shows that depos
its have fallen off in two years two aud a
half millions dollars. Iu round numbers
their aggregate deposits on December
31st, 1874, were nine and a half millions
against twelve millions the same date in
1872. Other Havings banks iu other
cities of tbe North couvey the same truth,
that the laboring classes aro steadily ex
hausting their surplus earnings of former
years to bridge over existing difficulties.
In the South all depends on the planter—
on the simple question, will ho raise his
own meat und bread ? No man in tho en
tire section has yet prospered unless he
did.

tion
This afternoon tho Brown Dramatic
Company play Destiny in the Opera
House, snd to-night the elegant drama of
Rosedale. Both are. given for the bene
fit of the Ladies’Memorial Association for
the purpose of raising a fund to build a
monument in Columbus to the Confeder
ate dead. Do not let them be a financial
failure like that of last night. Do not let
strangers believe our people are great in
professions, but hardly anything in act.
There are sufficient men and women in
ColuiubuB who are theatre-goers to crowd
tho Opera House. These plays are among
the most elegant of auy on the stage,
and their’s is an excellent company to
render them. The ladies, by canvassing,
can sell many tiokets, and can each buy
one. They requested the oompany to re
main and play for the object named.
The ladies are requested to bring tbe
tickets they have, and the money for
those they have sold, to the matinee this
afternoon.
