Ikp Lunuiuiuv of the Face. >' will doubtless be interesting to our • ertdeis to understand the language oi the •'ace ami to enable them to do so, we con dense a few facts irom an urlic.e in the Threru-logical Journal: iae faculty of ti util—that is, the love ol h—is indicated by the muscle which sur- r.mds the eye,causing rolds and wrii fee*. Justice is indicated oy the muscle which causes perpendicular wrikles between the eyebrows. Fullutssacd wrinkles uuder the eye, for w nieh some persous are remarkab'e, indi- ia;o the love of mathematical accuracy; and cuiviug upward from the lower angle of the eye and eyebrow ludicate probity or personal tr ulhluiness. There are ihice degrees of the faculty of iheilrstisa kind of exactness or strict accuracy in small money matters, which •me people would call closeness, and is in- uted by a singular perpendicular wrinkle or line between ihe eyebrow Toe second is a disposition to require usilce in others, and 16 indicated by two perpendicular lines or wrinkles, one on each side of the centre—a very common sign. The third degree is conscientiousness, or he disposition toapp.y the rule of Justice to one’s self, and is indicated by three or more wrinkles, or lines, especially notice able, extending above the eyebrow when he muscles are in action. The love of command is indicated by oue or more short, traverse wriukies across the root of the nose, exactly between the eyes. I may be seen in great military command ers, in masters acd teachers, and in those generally who are fond of exercising au- * hority. In those who are wanting in the power to command, and have no desire for responsibility, this sign is also absent. Tne day night. Second Baptist—Rev. J. W.

Reference word—“Burial.” Golden text—“Truly this man was the Sou of God,” Verse 39. General Topic—The grave. The crucidxion took place on the fifteenth of the llebrew mouth, Nisan, the day of the Jewish pass- over, which was, accoiding to calculations in time, Friday. April 7th, A. D. 33; aud the burial took place the same day, between 3 o’clock p. in. and sunset. Tiberius Ctesar was emperor of Rome; Pontius Pilate, governor of Judea; Herod Autipas, tetrarch of Galilee. The crucifixion of our Lord took place ou Calvary, outside the city of .Jerusalem, probably ou the north-west; an t His burial in a garden near the scene of His death, but just where is not known. When our Lord expired, the “veil of the temple as rent in twain from the top to the bottom.” The uturion who had charge ol the crucifixion was impressed that he said, “Truly this man was the Soil of God.” Inside Views of the Outside World. Sipping Here a Bud and There a Flower From tha Bright Side. H li t T IS SEEX A.SD HEARD 1.1 A 0TBOLC. I was readlDg an account a few day6 ago ol the penny savings bank which has been introduced into some of the Brooklyn pub lic schools, and are meeting with great favor. It strikes me that such an Institu tion might be lnagurated in the Columbus public schools and add much to the practi cal usefulness of that institution. It has very many thirgs to recommend it. In the Brooklyn savings bank deposits of one cent and upward are received, where interest is allowed. When a depositor ceases to be a member of the school he gets either a pass book on the savings bank, containing his account with accrued interest or the money, but deposits may be withdrawn at will. The practical valneof such a thing, If in troduced in our schools, would be far great er than a first glance might Indicate. The system follows the routine of regular savings banks, and the children not only become familliar with it, but the boys who manage the baDk learn banking and book* keeping. If the trustees and the teachers think this is worth anything they are entirely wel come to the suggestion. The receipts of cotton In this city are npaly 3,000 bales behind the receipts up to this time last season. The weekly resume of the market, which is published every Saturday morning in the Enquirer-Sun, shows that for the past week the receipts were 972 bales more than they were for the same week last year. The receipts amount to 63,020, and of this 6,8i0 a ere received dur ing the week. Experienced cotton men are somewhat divined in their estimates a a . to the future receipts. One, whose opinion is worth as much as any man’s in Columbus, said to me yesteiday that he didn’t think the receipts would be as large as they were last year, but would reach 100,000. He thinks the bulk ol the crop Is in, and that it will be safe to esti mate it at 100.00J bales. Some others seem think that a large quantity Of c itton is still on the plantations and that the receipts will run ahead last year, when they were 103,406 bales, against 112,431 bales. It was thought last year that a low river caused the falling off to a large extent, but this year 2,018 bales more have been received by this avenue of our trade. peep at it when you go by there.” I prom ised. and did, and must compliment her on her good taste, as we coincide exactly. It is hardly fair to five them away, but the next german that comes off in society will bring out two of the prettiest dresses ever seen in Columbus. What makes me think so is the description given by one of our most fashionable dre68 makers. Said she: “I never saw such lovely creatures and Buch lovely costumes before. You ought to 6ee them by all means.” “Well, tell me how they looked.” “The first,” said she, “was tried on by a dainty young blonde, who completely be witched me with herartiess blue eyes and gay, innocent laughter. Her costume of pale green nunB’ veiling fell in graceful folds round a girlish, slender figure. The ntek was Just low enough to give me a delightfully tantalising glimpse of a most kisaable white throat, encircled by a band ol pearls, and her sweet, shy beauty was “half hidden, half reveaied” by the dainty white hood, lrom out of which peeped soft rings ol golden hair, and which, altogether, was dainty enough to be worn by Titania herself.” “The other dress was by a dashing bru< nette, who scorns the delicate tints affected by the blonde, and whose costume was ravishingly lovely and most indescribable. It was made of soft, creamy silk, with bold dashes here and there of rich crimson . a bouquet de corsage of damask loses, ana buds of the same hue fastened loosely in her raven black hair, completed the effects of one of the lovliest of fashion’s creation.’ A promise was exacted not to tell on them, so don’t mention it. There are some other pretty dresses to be worn soon, but we will wait, before telling about them, to catch a few more. Gl YMl’SES AND GLANCES LOCAL LAUOJMIC8. Prayer Meeting.

In lace pins a new and howling device is a row of oxydized silver pug dogs running from large to small. They are given different names, and wearers ot tho pin do not fear h} drophobia. Light lilac kid gloves, stitched with black, are the correct style of gentlemen in connection with evon- ii g dress, aud fer button-hole flowers the chrysan themum is now iu high favor. Some of the prettiest of the winter bonnets are those tiny alfairs of black velvet with ostrich tips on the side and narrow black satin strings. They are of the kind described as “too cute for auytbiug.” Axnoug brides there is a heavy run ou white vel- >t brocade for marriage gowns, and iu consequence the price of the material has gone up iu the neigh* borbood of the comet. Nuptial influence is all-pow erful. Autumu leaves, somebody has found out, are sym bolical of misfortune. As they are a reminder o* the melancholy days, “the saddest of the year,” gay aud giddy girls are advised to leave them severely alone. Just now a determine J effort is beiug made to in troduce a new style of arranging the hair. The in stigators of the movement are declared to be hair dressers aud false hair dealers, whose business of late has been very dull and unprofitable.

Co. Israel F. Brown, of New London Connecticut, and his daughter, Mrs. Colteet, are on a visit to their friends of this city. Mr. Brown was formerly proprietor of the Brown Gin Works in this city. Hon. H. W.

County ConstniMuioners Court, The county commissioners held their reg. ular monthly court yesterday. Orders were passed, amounting to $703 31, out no other bnsl ness of public Interest was transacted. It was seld on the streets a few days ago that when the new mill ot the Swift Man ufacturing Company Is completed, the ma chinery of Excelsior mill wouid be taken out and transferred to the new mill. There Is no truth In this statement. I was talk ing with Mote Williams who is one of the moving spirits in this enterprising con cern, and he laughs at the idea. He tells me that the Excelsior mills will go right along without any connection with the new mill and that they have a seven years lease on the building. The new mill will be filled with new machinery throughout and will be one of tbe most superior in the souih. Tbia Idea probably got nut from the fact that Mote Williams and Will Swift, who established the Excelsior mills, are large share owners and are giving their persoual supervision to the building of the new mill. And speaking oi ihese young men, if any body knows two more enterprising and energetic business men in our progressive city, I would like to hear from them, A subject ofabEotblng Interest Jnst now is the approaching Christmas holidays. And whatmakes me think of it is that, in walking along Broad street yesterday mak ing glimpses and glances, there was so much to be Eeen to tempi the eye and grat ify the mist fastidious taste. The stores are Oiled with choice selections for holiday presents. This, perhaps, accounts for the fact that already the anxious givers of gifts are giving thought to what they shall give, and where they shall procure their offering of good will, love or lriendship. The best season ol the whole year, because the most generous and unselfish of all others, is the season ot Christmas, and it is less than a month away. Fortunately the gifts prepar ed for those who desire to make them are many, bnt it is always, more or less, a per- plexiDg question as to what shall be select- Those who are on the right side of for tune need experience but little trouble in finding whatever taste can suggest or fancy crave, and if those who are on the wrong side of fortune have more difficulty in sat isfying their desires, it is only Because their generosity, lancy or taste outruns their store of shekels of gold and silvei. And now, while talking upon this sub- ]ect, there is nothing more notaDle in the social condition of Columbus than the changes, the advancements that have oc curred in the character ol the goods offered to the public by our merchants. This city is nothing if it Is not conservative, bnt old forms and crude execution have been com pelled to succumb to tbe newer designs. At time have onr store* been so resplen dent, so slocked with tbe treasures of in dustry aud art. Some of them are as at tractive in art ol j ;cts as museums of art, and the finest productions oi the artisans aud artlsls of the oid world and the new are displayed in tbe most generous prolusion- For the past four or five years the progress made by our business men and merchants has been as remarkable as it has been con tinuous. Alas, what is fame? it was bad enough when the Industrial Jieview published an “able editorial” from the EN iUlREK-feCN and gave the Cclnmbus (Ga.) Chronicle credit for it. But to cap the climax, tbe Boston Commercial Bulletin insists on loca ting the livest town in Georgia at Colum bus, S. C. This is taking the dilapidated linen from the infantile shrubbery, and is a little more than can be borne in silence* Columbus, Georgia, is tbe town you are bragging on, and you do yourself credit in singing lier praise. I went into the library the other day, a 8 the librarian thought for the purpose d reading a book, but must own up that it was more lor the purpose of seeing who visited the library and wbat kind oi books they carried away, than from any intellec tual motive. The first comer was a bright young glri ? whose sparkling eyes, 'osy cheeks and dis ordered curls were strong proofs of a tussle with the wind. Shedidn’t want any namby- pamby love stories, but must have some_ thing strong and sensible—something treat, ing of other matters than sentimental, die- away love, and, fiiied with the determina tion ot finding such a bock, she marched up to the cases, giving plaoe to a true daughter of fashion - a girl whose rich velvet dress, whose beplumed and befurred hat, whose tan-colored mous* quetaire gloves, and, above all, whose very voice and smile bad an air of “s»yle” atrtmt them. Then came three bright, merry la dles, who chattered eagerly all the time, and who were bent upon taking only clever books—books that would rtpay the trouble of reading them; and though I shouldn’t thiDk a book on the “Liberal Education ot Women” would be very inter*sting, they seemed perfectly satisfied with the choice. Then came a prosaic kind ot a fellow who wauled to look through Raskinp, choice selections and he was tollowed by a la-da‘ dah young man that wanted te peep at Shakspeare to find out what it was that taueht Romeo to seek Juliet. But I was perfectly surprised to see how many people vifited the library and the different variety of bocks they wanted to read. The libarian said, too, that there were not as many visitors as usually call in an evening. Society has had a sort of a breat hing spell during the past week, as there has not been more than half a dozen marriages and two or three germans, with now end then a so cial musical entertainment. I dropped in at the german the other night, and the room was filled with bright girls; there was a soft xustiing of silks, a subtle perfume babel of tongues, and presently they were gracefully gilding through the mazy dance. One of the fair ones, who preferred to talk for the time beiDg, said to me; If you want to look at something pretty, go to see that table scarf that Mrs. McCoy has just finished. I declare it is the lovelD est thing I ever saw.” “Well, tell me about it.” “It is emerald green plush, and the most artistic piece of work I have ever seen. The designs are ‘Love lies bleeding’ and ‘Lilies.’ The embroidery is done in arrasene, and the shading is perfect.

Wlut is Being Hone in Our Howe KiCs. MH.J.MOH, IS BAISISe SHEEP A XH MASUPACTVESSH THE ITOOL. A Fete Hints to Practical Partners, OVER THE RiVER. The Enquirer-Sun a lew days ago look occasion to speak of wool manufacture in the south, and urged the importance of raising sheep. The Wesson Mississippi mills were sp ken of to demonstrate the success to which woolen manufactories may attain, but it is useless to go so far from home w^en we have a wool manu factory in such successful operation at home AH the machinery for the manu facture of wool tn this city is at the Eagle and Phenix mills, and there they have a capacity for manufacturing 800 yards per day. Yesterday a representative ol this paper had a long chat with Mr. E. N. Clemence, who ha3 the oharge of the entire wool del partment of the mills, upon the subject a wool manufacturing generally, and about our own mills in particular. The mills have the most modern and improved ma chinery—and have seven sets, three cuds to the set, 2,500 spindles and 132 looms for the purpose of making woolen goods It takes about K5 operatives to run this de partment and they make about 20,000 yard's per week. The domestic suppy of wool, by proper attention to sheep raising, could be made to furnish the mil s with a sufficient supply for consumption, but it ha* not y*>t reached that point. Mr. Clemence says that all the wool that i3 brought to the mills find ready tale and tbat the mills find that in order to obtain a supply equal to the de mand they must go to foreign markets The wooi is brought from New Orleans, from Texas and from St. Louis, Missouri. The prices paid by them range from 18 to 32 cents for unwashed and fiom 35 to 69 cents er pound lor washtd wool. They get as fine Merino wool from Si. Louis aDd Texas, as there is in the United States at 60 cents per pound. They buy wool from merchants Inthesurr undiug country, from farmers or from anyone who has it to sell. These mills manufacture fancy cassi- meres, doeskins, some of which are as fine any madein fbe United States. In some of these goods they put 150 picks to the ineb. They manufacture very superior Jeans, and their famous blue and yellow jeans flEd a very ready sale. They have recently sold over £00 pieces ni thasc goods in New Jer- Tuey make a style of goods which hey call planters’ casslmerts, which are pulled and scoured, going ‘tarough the same pr-'cess that broadcloth do**s tn tbe manu- ictn e. Since the 10th of June they have sold *00 pieces of these goods, sending them to various parts of the Uni tec States. Tuey are now 200pieces behind lu their orders for the Academy jeans. In the manufact ure of these goods a large variety of colors are used in the designs, and some of them very costly ones. They make woolen stripes tor convicts, which they sell to six different states, and all their woolen gouds have a floe reputation. We have thus particularized in these goods in order to show that ihe manufacture of wool is no experiment, and to encoura; sheep raising in the couulry, with the a 6urance that all the wool clipped wiil find ready sale at the home m»rket. We have an abundance of labjr that could be pro cured at much cheaper rales than in the northern states, and our; climate is so mild that the mills would not be hindered iu their operat ons by the severe cold from which the northern man- utacturers suffer in the winter season. The manufacturers of the oesl qualities of wool- grods are obliged to keep the tempera ture of their mills up to at least eighty de grees, and in the higher latitudes the ccst of fuel is by no means inconsiderable. Anot her benefit which would be derived from the establishmentolwrmlen mills in the south is that large numbers of people who now have no certain means of support would be furnished with profitable employ m*ut. The wools grown in the south, and es pecially in the upper parts of North Caroli na, Sou;h Caroliuaaad Georgia, are particu larly adapted to the manufact ure of Jeans, cissimere8, blai kets aDd s'oekinet, the quality of wools generally used in tl.6 manufacture of such goods beluj of a fl er Uxiure than the woolB which are used in a orsteds and some of the courser woolen fabrics, for the manu r acture of which the wools of California and imported wo<*ls aie better adapted, being o: a very co use and “lolly” fibre. Tbe norlbern mills now dr*w their main supply of wcnis from Iowa. Calitornia, C dora >, Texas a d other western states ;.ud territories. The wools of North Carolina and T< nnessee are gener ally of a finer grade and bring better prices, everything being equal, tbau the C dorado and Texas wools. The wools grown in a hi’ly and broken country are better than those produced in a low or prairie country, being of clcser growth and finer quality. A million sheep of good varieties would yield seven million pounds of wool a year; a million sheep wouid be only one sheep per head for every man, .woman and child in the state; a million sheep would add at least $1,701,000 to the taxable property of the state, The increase of our flock-i would ne cessitate the establishment of woollen mills to work up tbe production of wool, and the construction of woolen mills would in crease our population, diversify our indus tries and increase our material prosperity to an incalculable extent.

Dr. Hull’s Journal of Health, in a recent ssue, f-ayK “This question has caused a good deal ol discussion. Alum is used by many bakers to whiten their bread, enabling them to use an inferior flour. It is more extensive ly employed as a cheap substitute for cream of taitar In tbe manufacture of baking pow ders. It has not been conskleied immedi ately dangerous, although if continued it induces dyspepsia and obstinate constipa tion. But the fact that many cases of poi soning have occurred from baking powders which contained alum puts the questiou in a more serious aspect, and prudent people will exercise caution in the selection of baking powders. Under whatcond itions, then, does tbi- substance—formerly used only for mechaus ical or medical purposes—become poison ous? They are certainly obscure, and at present we can «nly surmise what they may oe. We suspect that the cause exists in the individual poisoned; some peculiarity of the constitution producing a morbid chauge in the secretions of the stomach, with which the alum combines and forms an acuve poison; or the secretions may be healthy but in usual proportions, aud that these lessor greater proportions, in combination with the alum, constitutea poison. For example, two p*rts of mercury and two parts of chlorine form calomel, which is not poisonous; but change the proportions to oue p rt of mercury and two parts ol chlorine, and we get corrosive sublimate, which is a deadly poison. Than, again, we know nothing of the causes of constitutional peculiarities. Why is it that one person can eat all kinds of green lruits and vegetables with impuni ty while the same course might cost anoth er mdividuai his life? One peison can nandle poison ivy and sumac without being in the least affected ; another 16 poisoned if he approaches to within ten feet of them. Out of a family residing in a malarial district, some of the members will suffer half the year with fever and ague, while the others will ei joy excellent heal;h during the entire year. Foods that are wholesome to some persons are actually poisonous to others This is especially true of some kinds of fish. There is no safety in taking alum into the stomach, as it is shown to be- always injurious, and often dan v erous Baking pv>wders properly compounded, aud containing pure cream of tartar instead of alum, are more convenient than yeast; and bread and pastry made with them ate |nst as wholesome, and far more palatable. We are in entire sympathy with the manu facturers of the Roya- Baking powder—who commenced and are vigorously conducting the war against the use of alum in baking powders. Before committing ourselves, however we made tests ol a sufficient number of b ik ing nowders tosatisly ourselves that the subsritution of alum for cream of tartar In their composition has not been ovei-eati- mated. while a careful examination of the Royal Baking Powder confirms our beliel that Dr. Mott, the government chemist, when he singled out and commended this powder for its wholesomeress, did it wholly in tbe interest of the public. “We do not hesitate to say that the Royal Baking Powder people deserve the gratD ude of the coramuuity whom they are endeav oring *o protect. “Will not some prominent manufacturer of pure candies follow their example, aDd expose the secrete of a business tbat is do ing untold mischief to little children?” Marriage in Troy. At 5 o’clock yesterday morning at the residence of the bride’s brother, Mr. Conner Bally, in Troy, Ala., Mr. J ffin Hill, of Bain- bridge, Ga., and Miss Mary Baily were united in Marriage. The groom is one of the moat popular and prominent business men of Bainbridge and has won for a bride an accomplished and most estimable young lady. The bride is well known in this city, having spent most of her life here, and has a large circle of friends whose best wishes follow her to her new home. BROW5EFILLR. Q,ulet and peace has reigned the past week. Merchants report trade moderately ac tive. The Lively butchers serve out large quan titles of the best fresh meats. A fresh fish and oyster market has been opened by Mr. Carpenter. The Browneville public cotton gin has done a heavy business this season. Leading Browneville gentlemen say they wLl favor the movement to throw them into Russell, provided that oounty will s ume Browneyille’s share of the railroad tax. Col. Holland has recovered his stolen pony at last. The animal was found at Americus. A bail w.ts given at Masonic Hall Thurs day night for the benefit of the Lodge. It was largely attended and turned out to be a delightful affair. The following gentle men were managers : M T Lynn, James O’Grady, Jr., L Davison, J J Goins. The Girard and Browneville churches have been transferred from the South Georgia to south Alabama confer euce. We trust the latter conference, which meets in a few days will supply this im portanl work with an able minister NEW ENTERPRISE, Messrs. Wm. McElvy and J. T. Pitmau have formed a partnership for the transac. tion of a real estate and insurance business in Lively. Both gentlemen are well known and trustworthy, aud we have no doubt will build up a paying business in this line. They report real estate in the Alabama si: burbs as steadily advancing in value BROKE AN ARM. Minnie, a six year old daughter of Mr. W H. Coulter, fell from the front steps of her lather’s residence on Friday, and iu the fall broke one of her arms. Dr. Terry was called in and performed such surgical operation as was found necessary, and yesterday the child was reported to be getting on very well. OVER JOKDAN.f Reports are meagre from the enchanted realms of the valley. The smoke from the mayor’s brick yard has encircled the hori z m and “painted beli on the sky” during the past few nights. Hawes £ Co. have opened a new meat thop next to Clegg’s store. Improvements on a slaud. New Gibsonville is being occupied. Health and business improving. Excellent order pre vails. Sweet pertaters have been sold this week at 40 cents per bushel. THE COUNTY LINE QUESTI jN. Another meeting whs held in the interest of this question Friday night at Carders’ Hall. Quite a number from Girard and Browneville attended. The petitions which have been circulated during a week or two past contained 328 names—all in favor of a change of county line—243 in favor of being thrown into Russell and eighty-five in favor of being thrown into Lee. This shows the way sentiment runs, though many names in favor of a change one way or the ether can yet be obtained. The meeiing was adjourned until to morrow (Monday) evening, when we sup pose >ome final action will be takeD. It the matter is to come up during ihe present legislature it is high .imerhe petition was sent on. That nearly all the people of the two towns favor being thrown together is quite certain, and if Russell will obligate to stand responsible for Browneville’s pro rata of the raflroad tax, all opposition to being thrown into Rus&ell will melt away directly. Leading Girard gentlemen are in f ivor ol the'<r county assuming this obliga tion as a basis o< compromise. MaJ »r J. F. Waddell, of Seale, will be present and address the meeting at Carder’s Hall to-morrow night, on the questions now excHlug the public mind. Citizens generally, and ladies particularly, are in vited to attend. A SERMON FOR BOYS. Boys, when allowed as much liberty as areiiioseof the over-lhe-river suburbs, are apt to mu wild. Boys, like vicious animals, must be restrained, or they are worthless. Complaiuts have been loud of late of sha neful conduct on the part of some of the half-grown boys residing in the vicinity oi Lively. This reporter has no ill leel.ng toward any of the boys, and his advice is on y for their good. Bq.vs will one day be come n en,and if thev start out with bad characters they will find it a hard thing to shake off. Character is everything. Did you ever think of ihe difference between a good character and a bid character? The difference is as glaring as that between a silver dollar and a counterfeit paper ou€. The foundation of character is laid at home, and this iacl varums would, do well totnink about. Giro of the best ways in the world to escape a b«*d character is to keep out of bid company* Every boy shou’d resolve to keep good company or none. Remember that whisky-driuking profanity, vulgarity. Insolence to ladies and ased people, cruelty to b others and sisters, to inferiors and ani mals. bravado,bn.ly-.srn, are not supposed to enter into the character of a good boy, and therefore all boys should abstain from such things. Respect the law, respect tbe Sab- baih, respect all things good, and there may be hope for you yet. Plunge iieadlong into folly, and you will fetch up In the peniten tiary or on ihegallows. tilBABD Nothing very new or exciiiog in Girard. W. L. Martin will receive taxeR from those who have not yet paid. The young men from Smithville have been on a protracted hunt for several days past. Mr. G een Kelley left for Montgomery yesterday to take a place in the factory there. Mr. John Palmer, who was severely bit ten in the hand by a dog last week, is re covering, Mr. L. M.Chalmer8 has removed to tbe brick fence lot, recently occupied by B. W. Edmunds, and the latter gentleman has removed to his new place near the old God win mill, A pleasaut lamily re-union was held Thursday night at the residence of Mr, John S. Garrett, complimentary to Wm, Gifford, who is on a visit to his parents and friends in Girard. The evening was a delightful one to all present. Nothing new about the creek bridge. We suppose the contract has not yet been let ^ut. Contractors should remember that sum of $1,750 has been set aside for this purpose. Have all the Girarders signed the peti tion to change the county lint? If not they should do so by all means to-morrow. STILL IN LINE, Girard is still keeping pace in the grand march to matrimony. There must be pros' perity and happiness in the air from the recklessness of the multitude who seem to have matrimony on the brain. This w.iefc two Girarders have plucked rare flowers from the beautiful gardens of Georgia, and in doing so have shown remarkably fine perception in the matter ol choice. Our worthy mayor, Mr. Freeman Stewart, who by the way, is highly respected for his good qualities, was the first to desert the Alabama standard. For some days we have missed his genial face at the oid homestead, and fear that the future prosperity of our village will sufter by his waning interest In public affaire. Good bye, new park, and all things else, in which he was beginning to show such interest. His fellow -workmen showed their sympathy and appreciation by tender ing to their departing comrade, on Friday, a fine silver service. Mr. George Whiteside made the presentation speech, and it was a good one. Particulars of the marriage were published in yesterday’s paper. The other Girard gentleman who rejoices in the possession of a beautiful and loving Georgia helpmeet, is Mr. Jehn W. Tillman* also of the Columbus Iron Works, who, on Thursday lest, was united in marriage to Miss Georgia Johnson, of Geneva, Ga. Rev Mr, Lowe performed the ceremony. Our best wishes for the happiness of all parties. _ A chance FOR INVESTMENT. I Safe of Valuable Suburban Property. One of the finest opportunities ever otter ed in this city to parties desiring to make paying investments or securing cheap hemes wiil be given on Tuesday, when G. E.

The other characters were very satisfactorily sustained on the whole, and the performance was a finished entertain ment that was appreciated and applauded repeadedly owed Partiality for the Dar winian Theory. Rev. Honry Ward Beecher preached another of hie remarkable sermons, in which he avowed strongly his belief in the Darwinian theory of evolution. The advanced thinkers with whom Mr. Beecher avowed himself in accord were those who were in sympathy with the great endH that the church had always sought, but who insisted that there are now better implements with which to work than the fathers taught, just as there are now better implements with which to till the soil, although the principles of agriculture remain unchanged. He proceeded to inquire what was the view of the modern echooi upon the subject of the sinfulness of man, ob serving tbat according to bis test if the modern doctrine did men good it would stand. Before Djrwin was thought of Paul had been a Dar winian and taught that man was au animal, and that upon the animal there was superimposed a spiritual man. Paul was a seer, aud bad seized a con clusion which science was reaching only now. Mr. Beecher brieily out lined the doctrines oi advanced scien tists on thesubjeet of evolutions as be understood them. If the pedigree of a pine and an oak were to be traced step by step, the point at which they first diverged would be lound in tbe mosses twenty generations back, aud so it was with the animal king dom. The teaching of the scientific school was that going back along the line ot development they would reach on the ever-diverging stem a point where the man and the ape line were together, and that on the one Bide the ape developed toward the left, growing more to muscle and bone, while to the right man diverged, growing afterward more to brain and nervous sys.em aud so on, diverging from the ape, but coming from something back of him. “You are uot worthy of such au ancestor as the ape,” said one found a tree hewn down with an Mr. Beeeher, “though many seem to return to that type.” (Smiles j Along that line man came up, and tnen uu der development oi great naiural laws reason began to enlarge its sphere and then came the affections and the sen sibilities aud the moral Hen3b. Mr Becher would not undertake to say that all this was proved. It was by potheais. A hypothesis was simply a scientific sagacious guess; but il it an swered ail the difficulties that could be applied to it, then the hypothesis was accepted as a truth.

A PROCLAMATION—FREEDOM FOR WOMEN, Wuat is the right of the ballot to woman compared with her privilege of enjoying health and happiness in the charmed cir cle* of her social and domestic relations ? Amo'Y the many discoveries tending to promote the happiness and advancement of tho human race, nothing Is so intimately connected with the health and happiness of women—the centre and source of our highest earthly enjoyments—as the discov ery of a remedy which meets her peculiar wants, and fits her for the enjoyment of life, and lor the ministering to the happi ness of those with .whom she is associated in the tender relations of sister, wile and mother. This remedy is found in Dr. J. Bradfield’s Femaie Kegulator, “Women’s Best Friend.” By it woman is emanci pated from tbe ills peculiar to her sex. Be fore its magic powers al! Irregularities of the womb vanish. It cures “whites,” sup pression of the “menses,” and removes uterine obstructions. It cares constipation and strengthens the system, braces the nerves and purifies the blood, and thus do ing, it does more lor her, and through her, for tbe whole human family than any dis covery of modern times. It never fails, as thousands of women will testify. Prepared by J. Bradfleld, Atlanta, Ga. Price: trial size, 75; large size, $1.50. For sale by all druggists apr2 ddtwly
