MATINEE.
Y’esterday afternoon a very large audience,
composed principally of women and chil
dren, was ga hered in the opera house to
witness the tableaux and the Mother Goose
entertainment. All were highly pleased
and delighted with the whole entertain
ment, which has done great credit to the
ladies who managed it. It was indeed a
grand sight to see the little children on the
stage so happy, pretty and nicely dressed in
appropriate costumes, causing us to drift in
dreamland and imagine ourselves sur
rounded by angels, cupids, fairies, Ac. The
ladies had good reason to congratulate
themselves with the result, $135 being taxen
in at the door. The entertainment opened
with
MUSIC.
Pro'Chase and Miss Lucy Barnett Kindly
consented to furnish music for the enter
tainment.
TABLEAU—SLEEPING BEAUTY.
Scene 1.—Fairies bestowing their gifts.
This scene represents a sleeping babe with
fairies standing over her cradle, each hav
ing bestowed upon her some goodly gi't,
save one, a very powerful one, who had
been forgotten in the invitations to the
birthday feast. Sliecondemned the babe to
ilKi years sleep, when she should be awaK-
ened by a princess.
The Sleeping Beauty was represented by
little Lena Etheridge. She was exquisilely
lovely, lying in her bed of roses and moss.
We could hut notice the perfect repose of
every feature, it being so remarkable in so
small a child. The fairies were represented
by Misses Alina and Pearl Williams, Mary
Watt, Wylene Lowe, Addie Mason, Minnie
Tillman, Lizzie Shingleur, and Mamie
Schober. The Angry Fairy was represented
by Carrie Burrus. Herexpression of hatred
would have done credit to an experienced
actress. A very pretty feature of this scene
was two fairies, Alice Curtis and Annie
Swift, who knelt before the angry
fairy as if imploring her leniency.
Willie Freer and May Wells as King and
queen were remarKably handsome; their
dresses exquisite. Annie Laurie Allen as
the recording angel was lovely enough to
have been an angel indeed.
Scene 2.—In which the god of sleep had
tajien possession of the entire household,
eveu the fairies had succumbed the influ
ence.
Scene 3.—This scene was lovely. In the
foreground reclining upon a couch was the
princess, still sleeping, Katie Coleman, a
blonde. Her fair hair waving over the pil
low in graceful luxuriance.
She was awakened by the touch of the
Prince, whose entrance was simply fault
less. Ilis look of surprise was perfectly ren
dered; his stage strides would do credit to a
more experienced amateur. This character
was represented by Willie Swift.
Between the tableaux Miss Mollie Cook
sung “In Whispers Soft and Light.” She
sang very sweetly and the audience were
highly pleased.
TABLEAU—CINDERII.LA.
scene 1.—Cinderil'a's sisters dressing for
the ball. In this scene Cinderilla was rep-
lesented by Eva Moore, the step-mother by
Mamie Jackson, the sisters by Effie Pea
body and Katie Battle, who acted their parts
well.
Scene 2.—Cinderiila’s appearance at the
hail. This scene was perfectly beautiful.
Eva Moore ns Cinderilla was lovely. Bertie
Wells as the Prince was exceedingly hand
some; his costume of white satin elegant.
The King and Queen were Fred .-hingleur
and May Wells, whose costumes Were very
handsome.
Scene 3.—King's Herald trying on the slip
per was very pretty. The King’s Herald was
Willie Bedell; the children's expression de.
noting surprise were very tine.
Scene 4.—Cinderilla triumphant. This
scene,as the others,was lovely. Conspicuous
in this was the fairy godmother, Hat ie
Freer, waving her wand triumphantly over
two whom she had succeeded in maxing
supremely happy.
SONG.
During the intermission Mrs 8 B Hatcher
sung “Ronnie Sweet Bessie, M ild of Dun
dee,” receiving tlieappiause ol theaudience.
Mrs H has a remarkably tine voice, and the
rendition was splendid.
MOTHER GOOSE.
Notwithstanding fourteen of the little
ones were kept away by sickness. Mother
Goose's flock did not appear to be dimin
ished. This was certainly the most pleas
ing and satisfactory entertainment of the
season, both to the old as well as the young,
all of it being highly amusing to the chil
dren in the audience, while those of mature
years were delighted. The performance was
one to please, and it did so. The children
went through their parts with remarkable
ease, and the audience was pleased, aye, de
lighted with it.
The children did admirably, and it would
be our greatest pleasure to mention every
single one of them, but it would he impossi
ble to do so, and do justice to them with the
time and space at this writing. This char
acter of entertainments we consider is cal
ciliated to do much good, leaving impres
sions on the minds of children which will
last through life, making them cheerful,
happy and good, and relieving them from
the dull routine of life. In viewing the
scene p>ome may say it Is because we are
partial to the little ones) we wondered if
another city on the globe could produce
such a number of pretty and intelligent
children. Wo think not, for if there is any
thing Columbus can boast of it is her pretty
women and smart children.
OUR SHERIFF.
At tlie conclusion of the performance
JaKe, our Sheriff, sang his “bumble bee”
song, which every one in the city has heard
hundreds of times, but of which none never
tire. Is there, was there,could there be such
another man as our Sheriff? In every pub
lic enterprise, without reference to faith or
creed, he taxes part, and when JaKe “goes
in" the affair is bound to be a success. We
sometime thinK another man line him
never lived. From the first day of the fes
tival until yesterday afternoon he has labor,
ed with the ladies of the association, and we
thinK much ot. the success of the festival is
due to his efforts.
The Photograph Gome.
For some days what is Known as the pho
tographic novelty has been going on at No
121 Broad street. The boys have been In
vesting quite freely, and some of them have
come away winner. The chance is said to
be one in two, and Mr Saigman.the proprie
tor, who hy the way is very gentlemanly,
guarantees every dollar. We trust our citi
zens will remember that hehas donated out
of Tuesday night's sales for the monument
$15 and patronize him.
carry up to the sanetua-y liberal contribu
tions for their pastors We learn that little
has been done towards their support, up to
this time. All communities should see and
feel the importance of liberality towards
the ministers, as these men msKt- many
sacrifices for the public good.
PLEASED.
So far as we have heard an expression, the
people are well pleased at the failure by the
Legislature to incorporate Lively. The op
position to such a seheme is increasing dai
ly, and when properly understood will be
almost unanimous. By the next session
there will be no chance for its passage. The
idea of taking a slice out of the centre of
Girard and calling it Lively is preposterous.
The tax collector would have a lively time
trying to collect the increased taxes.
A SENSATIONAL RIPPLE.
There was some excitement among the
softer sex during the last two or three days
by the marriage of Mr John W Hodo, one of
the most popular gentlemen of the commu
nity, to Miss Bessie Stowart, of Roswell, Ga.
The important event occurred at the last-
named place on Thursday, 13th Inst. Rev
Dr Pratt, of the Presbyterian church, offi
ciated. The happy couple returned here on
Thursday night, and a complimentary din
ner was tendered them on Fridaj’ by Rev
Mr Tucker and lady at the Brownevilie par
sonage. The bride is a charming lady, who
won many friends dufing her winter so
journ in our midst. We congratulate each
of the parties most interested upon their
wise selection, and trust that the future
may pay them all it promises. Every well-
regulated household should have a steivnrd,
and we have no doubt that under her man
agement the “orowneville charm” business
will become more extensive and popular
than ever.
NOTHING NEW.
Tlie community was very quletyesterday-
No excitement of any kind. People are
commencing to garden, and we wish them
success in this line. Good gardens are
great saving and convenience. Plant plen
tifully, cultivate diligently and reap boun
tifully.
GLBABD.
SUMMARY.
The plc’ureman still holds forth, and is
reaping a rich harvest. He takes excellent
pict ures al cheap rates.
There have been one or two social parties
during the week. The last was held at the
residence of Mr. Boland Friday night. Of
course it was a pleasant affair for the youn
folks.
Good order and quiet prevail. No dis
turbance of any kind during the week.
COMPLETED.
The bridge over the creek was completed
last weeK and paid for by the County Com
missioners last Monday. Some of the people
of Girard are disposed to growl because they
did not get a three thousand dollar bridge
for $.500, but a majority,we thinK, are thanK-
ful for small favors. Mr Piper says he will
warrant this bridge against strong currents
in the creeK for $50. It might be well for the
county to taxe up the proposition. Most
citizens agree that a better bridge could not
have been expected for the money appro
priated.
This weeK the bridge over Harris’ creeK
has been completed. It Is a good substantial
structure, and Commissioner NucKollsand
the committee express themselves as satis
tied withitand will report in favor of its
reception.
A Friend to the Poor.
The following anonymous note was received
last week, post-marxed Haddock’s, Feb
ruary II,1879:
“Inclosed is one dollar for the benefit of
the sick poor of Columbus. It is only a lit
tle, but may it do some little good. God
bless them and you!”
I believe Haddock’s is a postoffice on tlie
Central Railroad, below Macon. It is prob
able the writer had seen In the papers some
account of my efforts for the relief of the
poor or this city. I can only regret that
they have not been more successful.
In this connection I may be allowed to
add a few words. Since the winter set in,
the monied contributions which have come
intomy hands forthisobject have amounted
to $72 45. I have paid out for wood and
other necessaries $69 30, leaving a balance of
only $1 15. Daily applications for wood and
other tilings continue to be made to me,
which I am unable to grant for want of
means. The sufferings of the poor are still
much aggravated by tlie prevalence of sick
ness—chiefly measles and pneumonia. I
am gratified to add that many of them as
sure me that they have, of late, received
more than ordinary attention from their
neighbors, who driight to exercise the uod-
like virtue of charity. It is well for them
that there are many such in the city. Read
er, are you one of them?
J. H. Campbell.
JESSE IF. O'BRIEF.
“Those whom the ‘gods love die young.”
How strikingly this old saying presents
itself to our mind in the death of Jesse
O’Brien. He was loved by all who knew
him; and even his enemies, if any he had,
could not help but admire him. He was
always kind, polite, and chivalrous, the
acknowledged champion of the weak, the
assistant to the dull, a staunch friend, and
oh, how much that means. No one knows
thepain hesuffered beforedeathclaimedhim
as his own. He bore his sufferings with the
stoicism of a Trojan, never murmuring, be
cause it was the will of God that he should
suffer. His highest ambition, he said, was
to become a messenger. How faithfully he
followed out this, his star of ambition, his
parents and friends all know. It was only
last summer that I saw him, smiling aad
full of life, with his friends in the city of
Augusta. Little did I then think that before
another summer came, that death would
have claimed him. On the 24th of January,
by one of those mysterious accidents, which
God alone understands, he received the
wound that caused his young life blood to
ebb away. Oh, i n that fatal shot, how many
hopes were shattered. He was his moth
er's Joy, and his father's pride, and yet
they murmer not becans* he is taKen. for
it is the will of God. He leaves as a rich
legacy to his friends, his short life, as a
model for them to steer through the rugged
path of life with. May the merciful Ood,
who has taken him from our midst give to
that bereaved family that comfort which
He aloue can give. R.

the college lot a 40 by 80 feet college chapel.
Mr Tye is architect. The lower rooms will
be used as recitation apartments, and the
upper rooms as a chapel and exhibition

Ellis B. Schnabel—How the Elixir
Ida Upon the Lnnia—fnrlat Pal
nonary Complaints a ithont a Doctor
—A singular If not Truthful State
ment.
While riding in a Third Avenue car
one night last week we met the Hon.
Eiiis B. Schnabel, whose speeches in
Pennsylvania during the campaign or'
1856 are said to have carried the October
election and.insured the selection of
Janies Buchanan for President. A pas
senger, thin as a rail, and pale as
sheet, broke into a hacking cough.
His large, sunken eyes, shining in the
feeble yellow light, had an appealing
look, as though their owner felt hint
self an annoyance to his fellow passen
gers. He was evidently suffering from
consumption, and was not far from the
grave. During a breathing spell he
said that all the members of his father’s
family had died of consumption, and
he was the last of four brothers and
three sisters. He had spent several
winters in warm latitudes, and had
partly regained his strength, but hard
times came on. He lost msney
through the failure of the Third Ave
nue Savings Bank, and was compelled
to remain in the city. Though steadily
declining, he got through the last win
ter without a hemorrhage. During the
summer he held his own, but since the
first of October lie had had three seri
ous bleedings, and he felt that his rime
was short.
‘•Why,” said Mr Schnabel, “listen to
me, follow my advice, and in six
months you will be a strong, hearty
mail. Tnere is no need for you to go
to a warm climate. You have a sure
aud simple cure for consumption right
here at your own door. I know it, for
I have tried it myself, and can give
you the names of a score of persons
who have been cured by the use of the
same remedy. In 1S49 I was in tlie
last stages of consumption, mere skin
and bone, so bad that I was carried on
board a West India vessel in an arm
chair. I came home within a year or
so robust and hearty that out of a thou
sand friends and acquaintances not
one knew me. Of course the voyage
did me some good, but tny health was
completely restored through the use of
the simplest remedy, and from that
day to this,” pounding his broad chest,
“I have never felt a tubercle, and can
stand any amount of cold weather.”
“What is your remedy?” asked the
invalid, coughing so violently that the
tears stood in his eyes and a livid fiush
overspread his face.
“Rock candy and whiskey,” said Mr
Schnabel. “It will cure any pulmona
ry complaint. I drank twenty-two
gallons ' . eighteen months, and have
been a well man ever since. Take five
pounds of pure white rock candy and
dissolve it in a gallon of old rye whis
key, the older the better. The whiskey
must be distilled in the old-fashioned
way, with a copper worm. No steam
whiskey should be used, for the steam
distillation now used develops the la
tent poison of the berry and fills your
system with fusel and other deadly
oils. Always get the pure white rock
candy. Colored candies are invariably
poisonous, A yellow tinge shows the
presence of an insoluble earth, deleter
ious to thethestomacheand dangerous.
Tlie clear white rock is pure crystalized
sugar, and saccharine matter, you
know, is the most nourishing of all
substances. You get it in your beef
steak, in your lamb chops, in your
buckwheat cakes, in all your vegeta
bles, and in everything you eat. Now,
to make this precious elixir, what must
you do? Put your five pounds of white
rock candy into a gallon of whiskey,
and set it on your table. Let it remain
there until the candy dissolves. A
week may go by before it is absorbed
by tlie whiskey. Whenever you pass
the demijohn stop and give it a good
shaking, and have your wife and
daughter or servants do the same. In
this way it will sooner disolve, and you
will find yourself the owner of a cor
dial soothing and delightful, as far
superior to cod liver oil as maraschino
to catnip tea.”
Here the sufferer again broke down.
He had a coughing spell so bad that he
fairly rattled the boots on his feet; but
there was a gleam of hope in his eyes,
anil it was evident that Mr Schnabel’s
words were producing a favorable im
pression.
* ‘Now,” continued Mr Schnabel, “I
have told you the remedy, and you
know how to mako it. I want to show
you how it acts, and why it is that it
effects a cure. What is hereditary con
sumption? It is ulceration of the lungs.
What is ulceration of the lungs? It is
a scrofulous affection, and comes down
from father to son.thesameas scrofula.
Like external scrofula, it is a chronic
ulceration, and of itself cannot heal. If
you can turn a chronic inflammation of
the lung into an acute inflammation it
maybe cured. In ninety-nine cases
out of a hundred, in incipient con
sumption, if you could get into the
lung with a stick of caustic, by cauteri
zation you could produce the necessary
acute inflammation and the patient
would recover. But this can’t be done.
This roek-candy-and-whiskey cordial,
however, takes the place of the caustic.
Its use produces a semi-acute inflam
mation of the surface of the lung,
thus putting that organ into a cura
ble condition. The moment the
alcohol touches the stomach it flashes
into circulation, by opening and ex
panding the capillary vessels or pores
of the stomach. As the saccharine mat
ter combines with tiie alcohol both are
transmitted into the blood, and both
are sent to the lungs When the air
you breathe strikes the blood in the
lungs the alcohol produces the acute
inflammation, and it is the only ele
ment that will produce it. The aente
inflammation draws the blood to the
weak point, and the saccharine matter,
taking the advantage of the inflamma
tion, builds up and strengthens the
weakened organ. Tiie membrane is
thickened and healed, and after a few
weeks’ treatment can bear all changes
of weather with impunity. Coughs of
long standing aro totally cured within
a month. The blood which had been
black and sluggish, resumes its bright
scarlet hue, and the wasted flesh re
accumulates. You’ll grow heavier
right away. A man who is steadily
losing flesh is slowly dying, and a man
under this treatment who is steadily
gaining flesh may be sure that he is
rapidly recovering.”
Again was the stranger shaken by a
cough. His hat fell off, and the par
oxysm was so great that he beat his
knees with the palms of his hands.
After recovering he asked : “How do
you take this cordial ?”
The fluent Mr. Schnabel responded :
“Take a sherry wine glassful on going
to bed. On waking in the morning
take two-thirds as much on an empty
stomach. Carry a flask in your pocket
and take a spoonful a half dozen times
a day whenever you think of it. Your
object should be to keep your stomach
continually employed in taking up
rich and nourishing matter. The cor
dial will check cold night sweats, and
the patient will secure long and re
freshing sleep. All lung fever will
disappear. You will feel no more
pain in the chest. The only danger is
that you may finally become so enrap
tured with the eiixir that you will find
it difficult to drop it when its use is no
longer necessary for the perservation
of your health.”
At this point two ladies interrupted
Mr. Schnabel, and put him a score of
questions. The invalid took another
relapse, and was seconded by another
si :k man lower down. The noise from
their coughing was so great that the
writter was unable to catch the in
quiries made by the ladies or hear
Mr. Schnabel’s replies. Quiet again
restored, he continted:
“Now as to your diet while feeding
on this elixir. You must avoid all vin
egars, pickles, sour wines, malt drinks,
and salt provisions of all kinds. Touch
fresh pork under no circumstances.
Acids and fresh pork promote ulcera
tion and increase the very difficulty
you are trying to cure. * No coffee

this province, found some very rich gold
mines, which the natives had previously
discovered. These they took possession of.
and aiterwards behaved with such cruelty
to the natives that they rose en masse, put
all the Spania'ds to death, covered up and
obliterated all traces of the mines, and any
stranger, daring enough to enter their prov
ince thereafter, was immediately put to
death.
Whilst here I had the pleasure of an intro
duction to the learned Professor Gabb, ttien
on an exploring expedition through Alican
tara in the interest of some American scien
tific association and the Costa Rica ‘Gov-
ernment. He had with him as topographer
an excellent artist and draughtsman of
the name of Collins, a native of CorK,
Ire'and, whose pencil sketches of tropical
forest scenes were almost as finely executed
as steel plate engravings. One noticeable
and remarkable feature about Limon is the
total absence of domestic animals. It would
be impossible during a day's search to find
an animal that bore the slightest re
semblance to a dog or cat. Mules and
horses are also scarce and very difficult
to hire. A mule — being tho more
ubiquetous animal than the horse—is
very easy to find in any place, except
Limon. here it does not enter into the ani
mated economy of public life, excepting
when some traveler from the interior comes
down on one, then it is possible to hire one
to go into the interior, but tlie prices charged
are so exhorbitant that the traveler will
find it much cheaper to send himself and
his baggage by way of Panama and Punta
Arenas, or only send his baggage and take
all his own chances—as I did—on foot. A
couple of my acquaintances thought them
selves very fortunate in hiring two mules
to bring them to San Jose, for the sum of
eighty dollars each. Mounted on these
mules they traveled very well along the
level coast, but soon as the mountains were
reached, the Tearful heights of the precipices
aud the narrow footways along their edges
frightened them so much that they dls
mounted and completed the remainder of
the Journey on foot.
The railroad station, or more properly, the
machine shops,of Limon, Is the eastern ter
minus of the Costa Rica Railroad. Punta
Arenas was to have been the Western or
Pacific terminus. But through some strange
policy (which I will not discuss) on the part
of tho originators, San Jose, the capital In
the exact centre of the Republic, was pitch
ed upon as the site. The expense attendant
on the transportation of locomotives and
railrond material from Punta Arenas (sand
point), over the Agua Cate mountains, to
San Jose, would have built two-thirds of the
road from the ocean to that city.
In my next, we will take the railroad
right of way. as it runs inland from Limon,
and not deviate from our road, excepting at
unavoidable points, and at all noteworthy
places we shall stop awhile to rest and look
round.

We get the following from the Cuthbert
Appeal correspondence and our own :
Quite a lively scene occurred at the court
house last Saturday, in Fort Gaines, when
his Honor, S E Lewis, stepped down from
' lie judicial bench and harked his list over
tiie head of a refractory colored witness.
A sticking plaster on his Honor’s hand
and ten days in jail for the witness settled
tlie case.
Some weeks since a bale of Sea Island cot
ton was shipped through Fort Gaines. A
gentleman obtained a sample at the depot
and tried the market with it. It was classed
below ordinary by all the buyers, being, as
they said, the top crop, which always has a
stringy and greasy appearance, and
cents was the best bid made.
A gentleman from Eufaula who was in
Georg town la-t Monday with a drove of
mules, said that over one thousand mules
had been sold in Eufaula this winter. A
good number has been purchased on this
side, too.
