One of them lives down about Bainbridge, and is trying to bulldoze the people into voting against a Convention by declaring-it will cost one hundred thousand dollars, and wants to know: “Can we afford to pay fifteen dollars a barrel for flour, and pay a ConVention tax besides?” That settles it. —For the reoovery of that (199,000 for the State of Georgia from the United Siatea, on account of a settlement in re- s gard to the W. & A.

The oanse was a very trivial matter, but it oulminated in Houston's borrowing a knife with the avowed determination to “out h—1 out of Ward." He is said to have been advancing upon Ward with the knife drawn when Ward fired. Wsrd has not yet been arrested. —Atlanta Fire Department paraded yesterday, Hook and Ladder Company ran 200 yards, raised a 30 foot lad ler against building, man asoanded and de scended, and ladder was on truok in 451 seoonds.

Bnt yoo’d be astonished to know how many people oome just to have a little muaio. They say, “Oh this rubbish is all well enough, but give ns more musio.” It is evident that Heller’s weakness is bis mnsical forte. He prides himself very justly on bis expertneea on the key board, and doubtless that proficiency is a very great help to him in his entertain ments.

New York Sun.] Heller, the magioian, is giving New York something to ponder on. His trioks and sleights of hand,his jokes and ourtoua word piotures, are wonderfol now as they were twenty years ago, and aside from mention oall for no speoial oommant; but the feature wbioh challenges not only the awe and wonder of the populaoe, but the careful and unavailing serutiny of men of soienoe, is his Seoond Sight seance, where he puzzles intelligence and mystifies com mon sense. What is it 7 How it? The What is it? is easily answered. Seated on an ordina ry lounge, blindfolded and facing the audience, or at other times with a shawl thrown over her head with her baok to the audienoe, aits Mias Heller. She is.a tall blonde, apparently about thirty years of age, with bright blue eyes, a most in telligent faoe, and an irreproaohable fig ure. She has been working with the ma gioian about ten years, and understands him, his trioks, and his manners absolute ly. Standing at her side, Heller goes through more or leas nonsense with bis bands, as though he were magnetizing her, and then the seanoe begins. Step ping from the stage to the floor of the auditorium, Mr. Heller goes rapidly among the audience, and as fast as possi ble takes hold of various artioles, eaob one of whioh is accurately described by Miss Heller, who, it will be remembered, is blindfolded, or has her baok to the peo ple. The following, whioh ooourred on Saturday evening, will give an idea of wbat is done. Mr. Heller—Wbat U this? Miss Heller—That is a ring with a sin gle setting. It is a gold ring, with an amethyst in it. The letters on the inside are G. L. £. Mr. H.—And this ? Miss H.—That is a watch—a Jurgensen watch. It's number is 40,016. Mr. H.—The time? Miss H.—The time is fifteen minutes cf ten. Mr. H.—What is this now? MiesH.—Aoharm. It looks like a god, uu idol. It has but one ear. There is a date on it, 185G. Mr. H.—What now ? Miss H.— An opera glass, mads of moth er of pearl, with one glass oraoked, marked “From Will, January 6,1874.” Mr. H.—Correot. Can you describe this? Miss H.—That is a diamond scarf pin, with a fretted setting. Here Mr. Heller said nothing, but put his hand on an umbrella. Miss Heller—That is an umbrella—and, continuing, she said as Mr. Heller plaoed his hand on the several artioles—that is a watcb; that is a gold coin, with 1828 on it; that is a cane; that an opera glass; that a railroad ticket,No. 66,295; that is a min iature opera glass, a charm; that is a kind of ticket, a Western Union Telegraph frank; that is an eyeglass, with steel fr-me; that a ring with “Charley” marked in it. This went on a long time, fifteen or twenty minutes at least, and Miss Heller didn't make a single mistake. Mr. Heller—Well, what do yon think of it? X.—I'm not fool enongh to attempt to think. What is it? Mr. Heller—Well, its swell laid scheme in whioh Miss Heller and I have been co laborers for more than nine years. I think we have brought it to such perfec tion that a mistake is almost an impossi bility. At all events, we have yet to make one. X.—Can yon, or rather are yon willing to give me a hint? Mr. H.—Well, a hint, yes ; but you’d hardly expect me to reveal the secrets of my profession. But. for instance I say to you, “It’s a wise son,” and yon at onoe know the rest of it, and speak ont as bold as brass, “It's a wise son who knows his own father." X.—In other words— Mr. H.—Precisely. In other words there is an understanding between ns, whioh we understand, but wbioh yon oan’t detect. X.—What features of your entertain ment do you find the most popnlar and attractive? Mr. H.—The old ones. No, the seoond sight is perhaps the most attractive, be cause the element of mystery is so fully developed. But next to that the old Blitz business, the canary bird triok, the watch triok, and all that require manipulative faoility. It's not very nioe, you know, to elaborate a cunning soheme, requiring intricate, delioate and expensive machin ery, only to find that the publio say,“yes, that’s very nioe, but let ns see the oard triok again.” X.—Is your meohanism very expensive? Mr. H.— I should say so. I brought over fifty tons of stuff with me, and left twenty tons on the other side. X.—What are some of the best? Mr. H.—My Leotard is perhaps the most wonderful bit in the world. Leotard” is a papier maehe imi about the size of a five year-old boy. Heller arranges a trapeze on the stage, swinging about six feet from the floor. Ou thie the imago is plaoed, and at once it begiDS the regular trapeze business, such as is familiar to all who are fond of acrobatic exhibitions. Leotard stands on the bar; fulls down, holding on by bis feet; turns over and over, hangs on by one foot; lets himself down by one hand; pulls up again; whirls around the bar; hauls himself up; sits on the bar to rest; turns half a dozen somersaults; stands on his bead; drops, catches by 'one foot, and thenoe falls to the floor. Ingenious theo ries by the score are advanoed as to the mode of operation, the general belief be ing that the image is wound np, and goes through these several motions automatic ally. If that were indeed so, it would be one of the marvels of the oentury, for the intelligence of the procedure is only equalled by the accnraoy of position. X.—Well, is it a wound up image? Mr. Heller—Not at all. It is oontrolled from the other side of the eortain by a key board like that of a piano. The keys are connected by wires with the limbs, •nd their operations are directed by the player. Two bolts oontrol this oonneotion and when they are drawn the image falls. Of course I don't tall you all about it, but this gives you an idea of the plan. I re gard Leotard as one of the most wonderful suocesses in my line, bnt the publio know its only a “wound up image,” and they feel no special interest in it. Its too ab surd, you know? It cost no end of thought to contrive, plan, perfeot, and build it, and no small anm for the material and in tricate meohanism besides. X.—Did yon ever see Houdia ? Mr. H.— I was hia pupil. His peenliar excellence was in meohanism. He was wonderfully olever in that line, and seme of his tables and boxes were marvels of Ingenuity and skill. Now Hartman, on'i A. Oaeit Hall.—The World, of Sat urday, says the family and friends of Mr. Hall now say that they have giveu np the expeetation of hearing from him, and that they have no reason to suppose he will alter his purpose to maintain perfeot silsnoe—for the present at any rate. Mr. Hall’s offloea iu the Tribune build ing were leased by him for a term of years, and will be sub-let, and his law library, whioh is very extensive, was re moved from them on Monday. After being properly catalogued the books will be sold at publio auotion. The elaborate oarpets, furniture, fine piotures and fit tings of the offices will also be offered for sale, but the general library will be re tained by his family, as it oontains many books whioh are highly prized by them. They will, for the present, remain in their own home. Mra. Hall's fortune, together with what her husband left be hind him, will provide oomfortably for her and her ohildren, who, however, were eaoh eduoated by Mr. Hall in auoh man ner as to enable them to make their own living ahonld they ever be thrown upon their own resources. The cx-Mayor took but little money away with him, so far as known, and will probably attempt to sup ply himself in London. Whether the State of oity will institute suit against him, will, of course, depend upon the aotion taken touohing the release of the prisoner. STBANCIE CHAKACTEKE. AM INBOBIPTION THAT MAT PUZZLE THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTE. From the New York Sun.] New Obleans, April 28.—A remarkable propholite has just been found near this city. A grave digger, employed in the Shiloh cemetery, threw up among the dirt a rooky fragment whioh attracted the notice of the superintendent, an intel ligent man, not only on account of the rarity of such a discovery in alluvial soil, bnt also by its singular shape. Further investigation resulted in the exhumation of a slab of what appears to be petrified wood three feet two inohes in length, eleven inohes wide, and one and a half inohes thick. On this is rudely out in large Raman capitals the following in scription, wbioh no one has yet been able to translate or explain: UUIBDTEHOV EBNOH XITSE TNOUASOTEN The grapholite, by a vote of eight to seven, of the Cemetery Directors, has been transmitted to the Smithsonian In stitute through Mr. Wayne MacVeagb, who has taken great interest in the dis covery. The Havens will proably be able to determine whether the characters rep resent some oharm in the Voudou worship of the negroes or are really a relio of s pre-historio civilization in Louisiana.

JAMES MORSE, 804 Athenratreet. RHEUIATIS1 is a MSEUI »f the BLOOD. The blood In this dlssase Is fonnd to oontaln an excess of fibrin. Vkobtimb acts by oonvert- lng the blood from Its diseased condition to a healthy circulation. Vaornaa regulates the bowels, which Is very important In this complaint. One bottle of Vbobtixi will give relief, but to effect a per* inanent cure it must be taken reg ularly, and may take several bottles, yspeci- ally in cases or long standing. Vkgbti»b Is sold by all druggists. Try It, and your verdlot will be the same as that of thousands before you, who say, “I never found so muoh relief as from the use of Vkgktimb, * which Is oomposed exclusively of Bnrkt, Roolt and Herb*. “Vbgktinb,” says a Boston physician, “has c equal as a blood purifier.
