The steamer Wyllv arrived yester day morning at 2 o’clock, with both cylinder heads blown out and the pit man strap broken. Many who knew not “whereof they spoke,” said it would be impossible for her to leave, but she did and with an excel lent freight at 5 r. m., yesterday. Capt. C. A. Klink, the agent of the Central Line, had been advised by wire of her accident, and with his usual prompt ness, had the heads moulded and wait ing only for her arrival, when all was soon righted. The services of such an official must certainly be invaluable. Pease A Norman. i This old and popular firm are unustt- ; ally well supplied with goods adapted ‘ to the holiday trade.

The report comes pretty directly that the ruinous railway war at Montgomery and Mobile has ceased by the arrange ment effected at the meeting of the rulers at Augusta. This assemblage of railroad men agreed to make the rates on cotton from Alontgomery and Mo bile to the seaboard, north and east the same. This is bad enough in itself, but greatly fairer than the odious discrim ination which for weeks has been in vogue. According to this rate cotton is hauled three hundred miles for noth* ing. Before, the buyer was paid sixty- five cents per hundred for that distance to send the cotton this wav. S. D. Rambo, John Foran, W. J. Cofield, John H. Massey, R. W. Dixon, T. J. Dudley, George W.

Belk, the gentleman who lost the bank check on Friday, left that night for the man who had received the money. After riding through the rain until late at night, he with several com panions stopped at a farm house and lodged until day, when they again start ed. The party was overtaken and the money found in the possession of a ne gro, who said he had drawn the check. All of the §169 was recovered but thirty dollars, which Air. B. thinks he will got, as the negro has some property. A Current Slander, It was started at the dry goods house of J. S. Jones. Some one of his clerks made a remark about a lady customer, who called there a few days ago. He said that she had never worn a neat kid glove because bU© had never pur chased the Real Kid of his house. She blushed, yea, she looked furious, but when he showed her the gloves, she said he was “correct,” If you would learn the full particulars of this little unpleasantness, refer to Jones’ adver tisement in these columns. Wejwould add, however, that this clerk east the “mantle of charity” over this unfortu nate woman by placing on her one of the beautiful and stylish cloaks, just received. She bought the gloves and cloak and went home delighted. Fight—A Xcgr* Thi Last night about 12io’clock the cry of “police, police !” sounded and resound ed along Randolph street. A reporter of this paper was conversing with a couple of policemen at the tjme, and followed them to ascertain the cause of the ery. We were attracted to a shop on Oglethorpe street, which had just been the scene of bloodshed. There had been a ball and one negro, a dray man, had bitten another’s thumb off. He was arrested and escorted to the guard house, where he is quietly rest ing. The Mayor will “interview” him on Monday, and if this is his only pun ishment he will get off very light. Fight. On yesterday evening two up-town kaliffa began disputing about some mat ter and grew angry, aye boisterous. A few blows were passed, when one of them commenced with a hickory stick, which was said to have the desired ef fect. A bruised head and nothing more. Why J.

Methodi8Wi lost an ardent lover and devoted helper when good Sister Alary Fisher left our world, on June 10th, 1877. Born in Washington county, Georgia, married Rev. Charles Fisher October 2d, 1810. embraced religion early in life—a patient worker for Jesus during three score years and ten, and thns, after a pilgrimage of eighty-four years, she rested from her labors; yes, rested in Jesus. Children, grand-chil dren, and great-grand-ehildren—all ob served her quiet walk with God ; the impression was deep, permanent, and now most of them are members of the Aletliodist Church, and are striving to meet the mother and grand-mother in Heaven. The Lord peculiarly blessed Sister Fisher temporally and spiritu ally; she walked in pleasant places during a long, useful life. Prudence, fortitude, patience, energy, economy, a discriminating mind of business and religion gave the husband and wife much wealth and comfortable position. Truly the Lord is good to His people. The sky was cloudless when the aged spirit triumphantly departed with angel bands to become young in the City of Our God. Was it death ? No ! she was just beginning to live; live on, live forever! “O death, where is thy sting ? O grave,^where is thy victory ?” “Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Children, friends—all, press for the prize. The good leave us for a brief season, but their godly walk and earnest zeal cannot depart, cannot die. Remember these, spurn them not. Let us try to grasp the hands of happy pa rents in eternity. Death cannot part us up there. It can be well with us in the judgment. Look to Jesus ever. K. J. Walker. A Gentle Hint. In our style of climate, with its sud den changes of temperature—rain, wind and sunshine often intermingled in a single day—it is no wonder that our children, friends and relatives are so frequently taken from us by neg lected colds, half the deaths resulting directly from this cause. A bottle of Bosohee’s German Syrup kept about your home for immediate use will pre vent serious sickness, a large doctor’s bill, and perhaps death, by the use of three or four doses. For curing Con sumption, Hemorrhages, Pneumonia, Severe Coughs, Croup, or au3 r disease of the Throat or Lungs, its success is simply wonderful, as your druggist will tell you.

Special Dispatch to Philadelphia Times.} New York, December 18.—In the Vanderbilt will ease to-day, after tes timony to prove that it was the prac tice of the Commodore to consult clairvoyants, Cornelius J. Vanderbilt was called. He testified that lie lived with his father until eigh|pen years of age, and then went boarding around. The Commodore gave him a hundred dollars a month after his marriage. This amount was increased to two hundred a month. At the death of his wife his monthly stipend was reduced to §50. The witness then branched out into family trou bles, and accused William H. Van derbilt of putting him in an asylum for the insane in 1854. At that time the old Commodore was very sick and expected to die every moment. Wit ness heard his mother say afterward that the whole thing was planned by William H., who wanted to get the younger brother out of the way. ~ Cornelius was arrested on a charge of forgery before being sent to the asylum, and he testified that the arrest and the forgery were both the work of William. After the release William explained to witness that the incarceration in the asylum was done to prevent the disgrace of Cornelius being sent to jail for the for- gery. Being asked whether he had ever visited gambling houses, witness was prevented from answering, and his counsel explained that he was about to introduce evidence to prove that William had procured the per sonation of Cornelius, Jr., iu gam bling houses, and then spread reports that he was gambling, which were intended to reach the Commodore’s ears and prejudice him against Cor nelius, Jr. While debating this the court adjourned. William H. Van derbilt, who sat by his counsel while the testimony was given, whispered loud enough to be heard all over the He’s making it all up as he goes along.” THE COXtronOBE’H WIIjWj.

In th(.’ Vanderbilt will case to-day, after a long argument, the Surrogate decided to admit the testimony of Cornelius J. Vanderbilt, who there upon testified that he was not in the habit of going to gambling houses or places of ill repute. The burden of his evidence was to prove the ill feel ing of William H. toward him, and that William influenced the Commo dore to leave witness out in the cold in the will. On cross-examination, however, Cornelius testified that he had been in the Asy lum for the Insane three or four times, and in jail as many more. He was locked up in Wash ington for trouble over a draft that his father refused to honor, and had been in Ludlow street jail several times on civil processes. He was badly in debt—owed Horace Greeley forty thousand dollars when he failed and owed sixty thousand in addition now. The counsel for the will then disclosed the line of defense in asking about Cornelius’ relations with Simmons, the lottery man and gambler, and hinted that Simmons was putting up for Cornelius to help him blackmail. Cornelius testified that he owes Sim mons money. The cross-examination is not finished. Livf.bpool.
