Columbus Guards’ and City
Guard*’ Festival.
Tiie joint committee of these two
companies met last night and decided
to have the festival at the armory of the
City Light Guards. The festival will
open on the evening of December 24th
(Christmas eve) and continue for four
or five evenings.
Capt Salisbury was selected as chair
man of the joint eommtttee of arrange
ments.
The committee was divided into five
sub-committees, each having charge of
departments, as follows:
No. 1—Lieutenants Clapp and Burras
on refreshments.
No. 2—Lieut. Binford and Private
Frazer on gift enterprises.
No. 3—Privates Everett anil LalTatte
on table for balloting.
No. 4—Serg't LeQuin and Private
Salisbury on table for ornaments, etc.
No. 5.—Privates Baldwin and Faber
on booth for lemonade, fruits, etc.
Committee No. 1 ask of the friends of
the company to aid the festival by con
tributions suitable to their department,
such as cakes, turkeys, salads, etc.
Parties contributing will please notify
the committee -before the festival, so as
they may be given a day to send in
their contribiftion, as by so doing the
committee will not be embarrassed by
having everything on one day. The
lady friends of the companies are re
quested to help in making the affair a
success, and we have no doubt but they
will do so. This festival will be one of
the grandest holiday features ever in
Columbus, and we hope a sum suffi
cient will lie realized to put botli com
panies on a sound financial Iwisis.
We are permitted to publish the fol
lowing letter, and are glad to see Dr.
Moffett's Teethina (Teething Powders)
becoming so popular and generally
used:
Troy, Ala., Dec. lltli, 1877.
Dr. C. J. Moffett:
Dear Sir—Please duplicate our last
order for vour Teethina, or Teething

faction than any proprietary article we

who use it speak of it in terms of the
highest commendation. Forward at

be without it.

JatfC M. a. Crawfter* Pmlltag.
Randolph L. Mott vs. L. R. Hoopcs
et al.—bill for injunction. In this case
Judge Joseph F. Pou was Judge
pro hac vice. The jury went to their
room at 3 p. m. Friday and determined
upon their verdict as to the following
five points, the sixth not having been
agreed upon:
1st. That E. Barnard A Co. were in
debted to R. L. Mott at the time of fil
ing this bill in the snm of 11,000, more
or less.
2d. That the mules anil dray did lie-
long to E. Barnard A Co., and that said
firm was insolvent; also, that A. C.
McGehee was the creditor of L. R.
Hoopes individually.
3d. That Hoopes, as surviving part
ner of E. Barnard A Co., did make a
bona fide sale of the mules and dray to
Disbrow A Co. in extinguishment of a
debt due from E. Barnard A Co.
4th. That the mules and dray were
levied on under a distress warrant in fa
vor of McGhee, trustee, vs. L. R.
Hoopes, and w'ere claimed by Disbrow
<fc Co.; and that the claim and the
amount of rent due by L. R. Hoopes,
and as to whether the dray and mules
w'ere subject, -was tried and passed on
by the jury, and a verdict rendered in
favor of McGehee.
5tli. That the mules and dray were
sold in good faith by Disbrow A Co. to
the Misses Barnard.
The 6th question, which is as follows,
was not agreed upon by the jury:
Were Disbrow A Co. prevented from
setting up their defense to said claim
case by any act or saying of McGehee,
intended to deceive, or which, in its na
ture, was likely to deceive and mislead
Disbrow' & Co., and did the verdict in
that case speak the truth by reason,
and as a consequence of sucli act or say
ing of McGehee, and should such ver
dict be set aside?
Judge Pou decided that the jury
could be discharged on having decided
the five questions mentioned above, as
he could render Ills decree on the same.
His decree w'ill lie given about Wednes
day. Counsel on either side desire to
be heard as to w hat the decree should be
from the facts decided upon by the
jury.
Court took a recess until Monday
morning at 9 o'clock.
Court will adjourn next Saturday un

aside for the trial of divorce cases.

A Terrible Kaeouuter.
Last nigh t*j ust after tea, in front of
the Rankin House, a very animated
and loud w'ar of words took place be
tween a bar keeper and a very giant
like negro, who w'as cursing in stento
rian voice as the former was ordering
him from his house. The bar keeper
threatened to kick him, and he (the ne
gro) said that he would crush him if he
touched him. Every moment those
near by, in the bar of the hotel, ex
pected to hear pistol shots, and would
not go down stairs to see the nature of
the difficulty. Eventually eight or ten
men, who were sitting in the hotel
bar writing at th# same table became so
much excited that they threw down
their pens and rushed out upon the
veranda to see what was going on
below. They cast their excited and
eager eyes down over the banisters and
horrors!—they saw nothing and every
thing was as still as death. Thought
they, “the deed is done.” They w r ent
back into the bar horror stricken at the
thought that the stalwart negro had
plunged his dirk into the heart of the
white man. All were trembling and
pale as death, save one of steady nerve,
who remained at the table and con
tinued his writing. Oh ! the fun was
too “immense” for the ventriloquist
or man with “steady nerve” who
continued his w riting undismayed. He
burst into fits of laughter as he looked
at the astounded faces around and they
began to look surprised and to make
inquiries. The ventriloquist informed
the excited and breathless men that he
was the man w r ho was carrying on the
war of words and threats by throwing
his voice “below.’ ’ The tremor of oourse
grew “beautifully less” and every man
of them swore that they knew it was a
sell, and each began to tell w'hat kind
of a joke he took it to be.

A Hovel Mode of Detecting Thieve*.
Mr. Z. T. Lamb, of Russell county,
in housing his cotton in the seed, tried
a novel plan for the detection of the
thieves if the cotton should be stolen,
which proved to be a good one. lie
wrote the initials of his name on some
very small slips of paper and strewed
them among his seed cotton. After
some time had passed he discovered
that some cotton had been taken from
his cotton house, and secured the servi
ces of Mr. Thos. Corbett to search for
the missing cotton. Mr. C. suspicioned
two negroes named Manuel Dickson
and Ben McCrary, as being the thieves.
Their premises were searched, which
resulted in the finding of seed cotton
with slips of paper, and written on each
the initials of Mr. Lamb.
They were then arrested and brought
before Judge O’Neal for trial, and the
proof not being sufficient Manuel
Dickson was released, but Ben McCrary
was convicted, and is now in the county
jail. It would be well for the farmers
generally to invent some means by
which they could testify to their pro
duce.
A Tough T«
The railroad Major is responsible for
the following, or says an engineer on
the West Point Railroad is: The train
was moving about thirty miles an hour,
hen he (the engineer) spied a cow on
the track. He “blew two or three
times,” but she did not move and just
he stopped the pilot struck her and
she came out between the truck and
driver. As a superior officer of the
Major’s said “it was either a pretty
tough tale or a tougher cowr.”
Draatlful Doll.
The millitary committee have one of
prettiest wax dolls we have ever
seen which they w'ill raffle off at their
festival. The doll cost ?25 00 and is
about the size of a three year old child,
is beautifully dressed in short clothes
w ill gladden the heart of the young
who is so fortunate as to become its
owner.
The doll can be seen at the confection-
store of J. M. Layfield.

The friends in all parts of the South,
of Rev. Samuel S. Harris, R.*D., of
Chicago, are rejoicing at his election as
Bishop efQnincy, Illinois.
Printer preachers are still on the in
crease. The North Georgia Conference
added Quillian, and the South Georgia
Conference w’ill add Russell.
We hope they will stick to their reii
gious principles, justify the hopes of
their friends, set a clean copy for their
parishioners and finally go to their
final rest not as galley slaves, but as
those whose forms are locked up in
death's cold embrace without a mur
mur or a regret.
The Rev. Dr. Harrison, of Monticello,
Florida, who has recently left the Epis
copal Church and gone over to the Re
formed Episcopal Church, is the dis
tinguished divine who refused to read
the usual prayer for the “President of
the United States,” on the ground that
he didn’t consider Hayes the elected
President.
The Franklin Society of Washington-
Lee University, Lexington, Va., have
tackled the following very formidable
question for discussion: “Is the Church
in America duly efficient as a Teacher
of Morals?” If decided in the nega
tive, wrhere will these ambitious young
men look for a more “efficient” teacher
of morals?
The Rev. W. P. Kramer, who went
from Augusta to Calvary Church, Lou
isville, Ky., has now g^ne to Christ
Church, New' Orleans, and entered upon
his duties as rector. A correspondent
of the New York Church Journal lias
this to say of his first sermon in New
Orleans: “It was clothed in language
of beauty and eloquence, and was re
plete with sound practical talk as to the
relations between pastor and people,
and was most acceptably received. Un
der the administration of Mr. Kramer,
who is full of energy and zeal, it is pre
dicted that there will be a resurrection
of the dry bones in this old parish, and
that it will enter upon a new life of
Christian activity, and become, as it
should be, the centre of Church w'ork
in our metropolis.”

SOUTH 6E0RGM CONFERENCE.
X: LEVENTH SESSION.
More Freight Discrimination*.
To show the injustice practiced by
the Central Railroad between Colum
bus and her sister, cities we make the
following statement from a bill shown
us by one of our merchants: A car of
fifth rate freight from Atlanta to this
point w'as charged 955 10, or about 30
cents per hundred, via West Point. He
made a complaint to the agent at At
lanta, when lie was informed that the
rate from Atlanta to West Point was
twelve cents per hundred, and from
West Point to Columbus twenty
cents. The agent also told him to
forward his grievance to Montgomery.
He did so, and the general agent, Mr.
Hubbard, said that the charges w ere
correct, for the rates hadadvaneed since
July, but he placed the rate half and
half, or fifteen cents per hundred from
Atlanta to West Point, and fifteen cents
per hundred from West Point to this
city, which, according to the statement
above, does not tally with that of the
Atlanta agent.
On November 13th • the merchant
shipped a car load of fifth-rate freight
from the same point to this city, on
which he was charged 938 30. He com
plained then, and was told that the rate
w'as 912 to West Point, and ?2<3 30 from
West Point here, which is still very
odd, if the rates had advanced since
July.
The merchant further stated that he
could ship nails by the hundred pounds
from this point to Atlanta for twenty-
two cents per hundred, or eight cents
less than from that point here.
If the merchant is correct we w ill be
very glad of it. For if the roads stick
to this rate it will force the erection of a
nail factory in this city, which can sup
ply our merchants at a much less price
than they now cost them.
Legislative action is required to pro
duce uniformity.
Those
Who have an eye for the beautiful

Their toilet sets, of every conceivable
style, surpass excellence itself and are
calculated to make one covet. All of
them are so beautiful that one could
scarcely make a choice and would de
sire the whole lot. You may break and
shatter their vases if you w'ill but the
scent of their
FINE PERFUMES
w'ill linger around still. They are mak
ing a specialty of these and have them
at all prices, and have beautiful cut-
glass bottles, engraved, in which to
place the liquid. They have just re
ceived a large lot of English imported
tooth brashes made especially to their
order and they guarantee every one to
have no superior. Theyjare having a‘ran’
on these. Their line of hair brashes
and combs and clothes brushes is very
extended and more attractive than ever.
They have too many things for enume-
artion, more than we have space to
write about, so just give these gentle
men a call and see for yonrselves.

The Academy of Music was fairly
filled last evening by an audience as
sembled to hear Josn Billings’ (Henry
\V. Shaw) lecture on * ‘Sandwiches and
Specimen Brix,” which consisted of bvo
extracts from his printed works. The
lecturer, with his spare, bent form,
intelligent face, black moustache, full
gray whiskers, and long, black hair,
flowing to his shoulders, appeared all
over the typical Yankee, and thfs ap
pearance was emphasized by the
quizzical, Paul Pry glance which he
now and then cast at the audience
from his bright eyes, as he arranged
the stand in order to obtain the best
light on the book which he drew in a
sly manner from beneath his coat.
“I do not propose to speak on the
lost arts,” he said, “the rise and de
cline of the Roman Empire, the pur
chase of the British Islands by Secre
tary Evarts, the third term, or of the
well-settled feet that the eight spot
takes the seven. I simply propose to
that she had made her case with that
best of juries, the public.
Arrangements were in progress last
night whereby Knight Ashton is to
succeed Mr. Laurent as tenor of the
company. Mrs. Oates, also has the
question of suing for libel under con
sideration.
CEOWSEE AT THE BALL.
AX EABXEST APPEAL.
Pl«a*e Brad II.
In my voluntary and gratuitous la
bors as a minister of the Gospel among
the poor of this city the present year, I
find a great dearth of religious reading.
This destitution has been supplied to
the extent of my ability. But I could
advantageously distribute ten times the
amount of matter I have thus far been
able to obtain. I, therefore, make this
earnest appeal to all my fellow-citi
zens, friendly to the cause of morality
and religion, for such aid as will cost
them nothing. My request is, that you
will preserve your religious papers,
tracts, and small religious Works, and
turn them over to me, weekly, for dis
tribution. If the Superintendents and
teachers ol Sabbath Schools w ill induce
the children to return the Sunday
School papers after reading them, and
send them to me, they would confer a
great benefit on the poor children who
do not have access to such papers.
“Cast thy bread upon the waters, for
thou shalt find it after many days.”
“The poor ye have always with you.”
“Inasmuch as ye have done it imto one
of the least of these, ye have done it
unto me.”
The Post Master has kintliy consent
ed to take charge of all matter of the
kind intended for me. Friends, there
fore, can make their deposits at the
post office, or send them direct to the
undersigned.

half-shell, with cayenne pepper, while
the Englishman is satisfied to take
his fun smothered in mint sauce, and
wait till the next day to digest it. If
you want to make an American laugh
or convince him you have got to do it
quick. England has more wit, and
America more humor.” The lecturer
then began his readings, from which
the following selections are given :
“This life is like a game of cards.
We must play the hands dealt to us,
and the credit is not so much in win
ning as playing a poor hand well.”
“When I hear a man bragging
about what he did last year and what
he’s going to do next year, I can tell
pretty near what he is doing now.”
“Don’t despise your poor relations.
They might get rich sometime, and
then it woulii be so hard to explain
things.”
“The reputation a man gets from
his ancestors wants about as much
altering to fit him as their clothes
would.”
“There is no woman stationed on
the face of the earth who tries so hard
to do right and foils oftener than the
average mother-in-law.”
“An enthusiast is an individual
who believes about four times as much
as he can prove, and can proye four
times as much as anybody else will
believe.”
“Falling in love is like falling down
stairs; it’s hard work to find out just
how the thing was done.”
“A man who has been waiting for
the last fifteen years for something to
turn up is still in the same business.”
“A poodle is a woman’s pet, and I
have seen some I would like to swap
livings with.”
“Mice can live anywhere comforta
bly but in a church; they fat very
slowly in a church. This proves that
they can’t live on religion any more
than a minister can.”
“The worst tyrant is this world is
a woman who is superior to her hus
band and lets everybody know it.”
“Love is like the measles, you can’t
have it but once, and the later in life
we have it the tougher it goes with
us.”
“Great thinkers are not apt to be
great whistlers. When a man can’t
think of anvthing he begins to whis
tle.”
“The man you can have to work on
a farm for nothing and board him
self, just about earns his wages.”
“Neatness, in my opinion, is one of
the virtues. I have always consid
ered it twin sister to chastity, but
none work so hard as the victim of
ecstatic neatness. I have seen a neat
person who would not let a weary fly
rest long enough on their best wall
paper to take breath, and who would
chase a single cockroach up and down
stairs until his legs were worn off.”—

Up in the hall of the Pacific Coast
Pioneers a few evenings ago several
of the “old boys” ana a number of
later comers, their friends and ad
mirers, were talking oveijearly days in
California.
“I shall not forget my first ball in
California,” said Bud Crowner. “It
was at Hangtown, in 1852. In crossin’
the plains we had all kinds of bad
luck. We had some of our horses
stolen by the Injuns, songs died, and
at last we left behind wagons and
everything but what we could carry
on our backs.
“It was every feller for himself in a
short time. I traveled on foot and
tuck the desperate chances of findin’
grub among sich wagons and camps
as I passed. Nearly naked and half
starved, I finallygottothe Humboldt.
I found a large party of emigrants
camped tliar for a day or two to rest,
wash clothes, bake bread and the like.
“I was a rough lookin’ customer.
I had on an old roundabout or wamus,
that I had wore all the way from Pike,
trousers that was ready to drop off
me and a pair of moccasins I got from
a Shoshone Injun for an old jack
knife.
“A man at the camp took pity on
me, and, showing me two pairs of
green baize drawers, told me if I’d
wash ’em I might have one pair for
my trouble. As they were sound and
much better tliau my old pantaloons,
I jumped at the chance. I washed
the articles and hung ’em on a bunch
of willers to dry.
“Presently the feller came and took
one pair, leavin’ the other for me. Tie
was a little, spindlin’ bit of a cuss,
while I, even at that time, starved as
I was, weighed nigh on to 170 pounds.
“I took the drawers and went some
distance down the river, behind a
bunch of wilier, to make my toilet.
The washiii’ aiid dryin’ had shrunk
the drawers to sich an extent that it
took me half an hour to git into ’em.
They was skin tight, and lacked six
inches of reachhv down to my ankle
jints.
“1 walked up and down the bank
of the creek a long time before I could
make up my mind to go back to camp.
I went and looked for my old breech
es, but I had thrown ’em into the
creek in the start and they had float
ed off or sunk somewhere.
“As I walked up and down thar by
the water my long, slim, green legs
made me look like a fly-up-the-creek,
a crane, or some sich water fowl.
“When I went to camp everybody
roared and laughed, some rollin’
themselves on the ground and roarin’
till they was black in the face.
“To keep the sun from bumin’ my
ankles I got some cloth and made
straps so I eoulil strap the drawers
down to my moccasins.
“In passfn’ along by the wagons I
overtook I had to stand all the fun
that people saw fit to poke at me.
‘Here comes; the great crane of the
desert!’ some would say, while others
called me the ‘green dragon of the
plains.’
“When I got to Hangtown I found
out that there was to be a grand ball
that night in the edge of town. Be
fore scatterin’ out into the different
parts of the country the people were
goin’ to have a big dance together.
“In the evenin’ I thought I’d slip
down to where the dance was to come
off and look on awhile. I found
they had set up a lot of crotches in
which they had laid poles, coverin’
the whole with pine and spruce
broughs, makin’ a sort of canopy.
The ground had been levelled off and
beaten down till it was like a brick
yard.
“I found two or three fiddlers
mounted on pine boxes and with
them a feller with a clarinet. They
were makin’ pretty fair music, and a
great crowd was dancin’ away for dear
life.
“I looked on for a time, but pretty
soon I got excited like, forgot all
about my drawers, and sailed into the
thick of the business with a big Pike
county gal, with sun bonnet off and
hair bangin’ half way down to her
heels.
“I can tell you we made the dust
fly. I soon saw that, though my
drawers might be a little tight, I had
on about the soundest and gayest rig
in the whole place. I looked as
though in some kind of masqueradin’
outfit, and began to consider myself
the beau of the ball—a regular dandy.
“I made them long, green legs of
mine fly in swingin’ on the corners,
and was the wonder of every man,
woman and child at the ball. I got
so excited about the sensation I was
makin’ that I cut all kinds of pigeon
wings and fancy flourishes, bringin’
down the bouse every time.
‘“Go in, green legs!’ the fellers
outside would holler, and go in I did.
Finally a couple of children come
waltzin’ along. I thought it would
be a good trick to sling one of my
long, green legs, circus feshion, over
the heads of the little couple.
“I tried it, and left that hall, run-
nin’ like a skeered kiotee, and don’t
know that I’ve ever sot eyes on man,
woman or child that was thar from
that day to this.”
“Guess you have,” said au old chap
among the listeners. “I was thar and
saw the whole performance. It was
my oldest gal you was a dancin’
with.”
“The little gal you tried to swing
your leg over,” said another old cock,
“was my child, and she is now the
wifeof Senator W—-s,of California.”
“I am the very man that gave you
those green baize drawers,” said an
other of the party. “I remembered
you as soon as you mentioned what
happened out there on the Hum
boldt.”
“Wonderful! wonderful!” cried
Bud; then, turning to a “pioneer”
sitting near, he said: “And you?”
“Damfino,” said the man addressed.
“I guess I must a bin the Injun that
trailed you the moccasins!”

ALICE OATES.
What She Says About the Zaarent Sto
ries.
Cincinnati Enquirer,]
A reporter of the Enquirer called
upon Mrs. Alice Oates yesterday, and
found that little woman, usually the
very embodiment of “gift 1 ” for the
onee perfectly broken spirited. She
was indisposed to tell all she knew
about the cowardly plot to break
down her hard-earned reputation, and
spoke with bitter tears of the way in
which certain papers were hounding
her. It would be cruel and cowardly
to tell these stories if they were true,
she said. “As it is they are killing
me,” and the plucky little girl broke
down in hysterical sobbing. The ar
ticle of the Dramatic Nctvs being read
to her, she pronounced nearly every
.story emphatically false—some of
them absurdly so. “Even if I was
bad,” said she, “nobody ever accused
me of being fool enough to give a
married man a watch, and inscribe It
‘From your own Alice.’ I did give
Mr. Laurent a watch in token of my
gratitude to him for politeness during
a time when Mr. Colville, angry be
cause I would not permit Miss Ros-
seau to share my hard-earned reputa
tion, and he ‘starred’ with me on the
programmes, had prejudiced many of
the members of the company against
me. When others would not speak to
me, he used to carry my satchel home
for me, and we were on friendly
terms. I have frequently given pres
ents to members of my companies,
and handed the watch to Mr. Lau
rent before at least two witnesses,
saving, ‘Keep it as a souvenir of me.’
I do not remember Mr. Laurent ever
being in my room without witnesses,
Mrs. Oates said, and certainly he
never was there at an unseemly hour.
I neve? was up in my room later than
one o’clock, unless studying a long
part. I have had no ‘love scrape’
since I dismissed Van Austin, to
whom I was engaged, but whose real
character I found in time I could not
like. As God is my witness, I have
never done a wrong act in my life; I
have no desire to do one; and yet
since poor Mr. Oates died, whom I
wish God had spared to protect me, I
am always being persecuted. With
Mr. Laurent’s family troubles I, of
Course, have nothing to do. He is a
f entleman, and I respect him as one.
le wants to leave the company to
disarm the enemies who are working
against me. He is also in consulta
tion with lawyers, and will probably
sue the Times.
The above is the substance of Mrs.
Oates’ disjointed, sob-broken state
ment, and it carried the impression
that shejiad been cruelly wrofiged by
the sensational coloring given to gos
sip which she can prove groundless
and malicious by witnesses in every
ease where there has been a definite
statement of fact, instead of mean,
low insinuations. That those who
have known the litte woman all her
brave life believe her innocent, is
clear from their comments whenever
the question is raised. That the gen
eral public believe in her still was
shown by the hearty reception given
her at the Grand opera house last
night by one of the finest audiences
of the season. She was called out
after the first act, and with much
emotion made the following speech :
My Dear Friends : My heart is
too full for me to go on until I have

Hotel Rate* Ca*l*i l)«*n.
Xcic York Correspondence.]
The hotels are coming down to bed
rock. The Grand Central takes board
ers for from $10 to $15 a week, and
the New York Hotel, the great resort
of Southerners, which Hiram Cran
ston made famous, and which his
nephew keeps now, offers about the
same rates. The Buckingham Hotel,
a new establishment, and surely one
of the most elegant ever erected in
this country—it stands on Fifth ave
nue, opposite the slowly-rising Roman
Catholic Cathedral—announces rooms
to be had for $7 a week. The West
moreland lias adopted a system of
graded rooms, some as low as $2 50 a
day, with board, and the Westmin
ster, the favorite hotel for actors,
singers and artists of all kinds, also
gives low rates. Even the Delevan
House at Albany, the famous hos
telry of the Lelands, is out with an
announcement of lower terms. In
deed, prices are coming down pretty
much everywhere except at the thea
tres.

THE WORLD’S STANDARD/
God is my witness. The slanders
would be cruel if partially true ; as
they are foully felae, they are killing
me. I ask justice as a woman. I ap
peal to you to suspend your judgment
until Mr. Laurent proves his own
and my innocence in the courts of
law. There we can at least have jus
tice. Newspapers do not seem to
know it or even mercy. I thank
you.”

ovation given her that should have
dried her tears. It was a good, old-
fashioned, tripple, recall, a “three-
iimee-three,” tnat spoke it eloquently

Office west side Broad Street, opposite I
J. Kyle A Co.
Bankruptcy cases attended to on
moderate terms. The early repeal of
the Act being probable, parties con
templating bankruptcy would do welt
to file petitions at once.
All business promptly attended to.
