Considerable money waa realized at the several stands, bow mnoh conld not be ascertained at tba time this was written. Suffice it to say the festival opened most encouragingly. The ice cream gave ont early in the night. Fine vooal music was rendered by Mrs. Daniel, Prof. Newman, Miss Uaiford, Mr. Tefft and others. The Qirard Brass Band won mnoh praise for their efforts in the instrumental line. At ten o’olook the Alabama Gymnasium gave a variety performance, at wbioh there was over 300 people. The young gymnasts covered themselves with glory. Their performance was truly meritorious. During the evening a vote was taken for the most popular young lady, wbioh re united in tho election of Miss Clemy Mil- ler who received 107; the next highest was Maggie Hutchinson. The contest was very spirited. The festival will continue this and to morrow evenings, during which many new and attractive features will be introduced.

THE "NOVEL QUESTION” SET TLED. W. L. Salisbury, the administrator of the estate of John T. McLeod, deceased, advertised to sell the perishable property of the estate (he waa a deceased member of a grooery bouse) on the first Tnesday of the present month. On Monday pre vious to the sale, Duncan Smith, a Depu ty Collector, informed the administrator the whiskey advertised oould not be sold unless a wholesale liquor dealer’s license was secured. It was, therefore, with drawn. On the day of sale Smith hung aroand the store where the goods were being offered. Some remnants of tobac- oo were pnt np and sold, when Smith asked the anotioneer if he intended offering a lot of five or six boxes. When answered in the affirmative he (Smith) said he wonld seize It. Mr. Salisbury then asked Smith if he (Salisbury), as administrator, oonld not sell the tobaooo? Smith said he conld not. The tobaooo was withdrawn. Smith still threatened to seize it, and considerably annoyed the orowd of buyers by his con duct. Mr. Salisbury wrote the Hon. John Peabody, who wss in Washington City, and requested him to lay the matter be fore the Hon. Green B. ltaum, the Com missioner of Internal Revenue, who set tles the question by the following letter : Treasury Department, Office of Internal Revenue, Washington, August 14, 1877.) Sir : In reply to yonr letter without date, to John Peabody, Esq., which he referred to me on the 10th inst., relating to the liability yon would be under, if any, to special tax for selling fh your capacity of administrator of the estate of J. T. McLeod, deceased, the liquors and tobacco belonging to that estate, you are advised that special tax is not requirod of an administrator for selling liquors and tobacco belonging to the estate of his decedent, not in the regular course of business as a dealer, but for the purpose of converting the assets of the estate into cash, in obedience to order of court, or in fulfillment of the duties imposed upon him by law. Respectfully, Green B. Raum, Commissioner. W. L. Salisbury, Rs<j., Columbus, Ga. From the ruling of the Commissioner, it appears that Deputy Smith was ig norant of his duties. By his unauthorized interference ho has caused the estate to sustain a loss. His conduct broke up the sale on the first day, and caused a postponement. His threats of seizure decided the administrator to with draw from sale the whiskey and tobacco, thereby creating an extra expense for drayage, storage and advertising. It is burdensome on our people to pay tho heavy taxes imposed but they become more onerous when the tax gatherer an noys and harrasses the people by threats, when he has no authority for so doing. Tribute to a Good Man. Rev. J. H. DeVotie, D. D., who is known throughout Georgia, and who was until recently pastor of the Baptist church iu Griffin, has made Atlanta his home. We are most glad to weloome him hero, and trust he will long remain with us. We were shown yesterday by Mr. D. P. Ellis a testimonial of the high regard of some friends in Columbus, which was presented to Dr. DeVotie when he re signed the pastorate of the Baptist ohnrch in that city in 1872. Some of his admir ers who were not members of his church joined together and presented him with n magnificent double-case gold watch with the following inscription on it: “Mark the perfect man aud behold tho upright. Presented to J. H. DeVotie, D. D., as a testimonial of esteem by many admirers of his groat piety. Columbus, Ga., 1872." This watob was shown us without the knowledge of Dr. DeVotie. It is certain ly a high tribute to his great personal worth, and its donors expressed a senti ment whioh is felt by all those who know Dr DeVotie.—Atlanta Constitution.

The policeman replied that there was a young darkey in the look-np for breaking up sprayer-meeting with an ai'handle. “Dat’s him," exolaimed the overjoyed parent, “he told me he was gwine to 'mnae* hisaelf.” AT COST!

Banka is dragged into the woman question, I see, by a worthless fellow named Thompson. If a yonng man with out industry, or good habita, or money, takes a besatifal wife to Washington and lets her loose there to support herself, or to beg a Government clerkship, the logi cal roenlt is, going to the bad. Tbe in dustrious Germans, it is said,correct their own wives as they do their ohildren ; bat in this country we have made an Imogen and Catherine Oornaro of every woman— a little queen—and to oorreot her, even by conversation, ia regarded aa an out rage. No small part of American de moralization is owing to the want of fami ly discipline, over women aa well aa ohil dren. The family nnity exists only by rnntnal sufferance, whioh is not enongb in all casos, though good enough for the majority. I hoc women here at Long Branoh who have disoarded their hus bands for no other gronnd than that re straint, even wholesome restraint, ia not agreeable.

WESTERN RAILROAD or Burreptitiona lives, and yet carry the injured man’s name, and lead his chil dren about to be seen of others. Has Buoh a man no remedy but a’lenoe or ex posure ? Has he not the right, for exam ple, to lead her away by the ear-ring and say : “Incipient huzzy, you ahall be saved if I have to hurt your ear !” It is generally true, and in the Thomp- bom case especially true, that women are better than men. But we have sentament- alized women into becoming worse than they are ; thousands of women are more spoiled than spoiled children, and if they are passably good looking all mankind stand np for them. Wo shall be a better nation when there is more family au thority, an in* Germany and England. This revolution, now begun and spread ing in Amerioan financial habits, will reaob family habits. Love and authority have been compatible with eaoh other since God made woman for man and the world for Himself; and love without au thority is very gregarious as dogs and cattle families know. Tbe license Amerl can women in the cities and at the resorts toko is suicidal, considering tbe oamsl rascality of the average man.

He is off in Wall street cheating somebody or something, that this desexed and dethroned, if not orimi nal, creature may treat her idle time- killers. Living on Ninety Cents si Day Philadelphia Ledger.] “S.

I think seven dollars per month for house rent would bo a small allowance, making the cost of house room per day twenty-two cents and a fraction, and the total oost eighty-seven cents per day.
