FABHION’d FANCIES. N. Y. Fashion Exchange.] Black silk hosiery is still the first choice for street i well as house wear. Alligator skin bonnets are a novelty this fall, but too pronounced a fashion to find favor with refined ladies. Some of the new drefiBos of black velvet trimmed with embroideries of solid glittering jet beads aud faceted bugles. Some of the most elegant dinner dresses imported are of royal purple velvet and satin, made up in combination. Amuug c. irtaiu fashionable women the dog is carried to the most disgusting extremes of affec tion, und well may refined people cry. Nothing but a London hat does for the swell of Gotham new. Hats of domestic manufacture givo him sefieniug of the brain. The modern drawing-room, to be acceptable, should bo made to represent ‘‘fashionable contn sion” iu all Its elegance and sumptuuusuess. Ladles who do their own “dusting” in parlors filled .with, bric-a-brac aud fragile things small bellows instead of a brush. It would be interesting to know where g the birds come from that now ornament the girl of the period’s autumn hat. Can it be that they a made to order? Some of the handsomest of the imported evening dresses are ol wnite camel’s hair embroidered in colors on the waist ana ou the skirt iu leuves flowers. Gray being one of tbe mo3t fashionable colors, unsophisticated folk remark upon the large number of supposed brides they meet here, there aud every where. Undyed or natural Kuisian hare is a pretty mixed brownish fur, which is inexpensive and much more duruble than the black fur sold under the same name. Not only the bride, but the bridesmaids, now curry prayer-books at church wedding ceremonies, aud the books aro an ecclesiastical present from the not always excessively religious bridegroom. A new worsted lace called Eacurial ciuny is Im ported iu various colors in tbe pattern of old cluuy lace, for trimming house dresses. The pattern ol the Ce is outlined in soutache braid. Many young ladies now regularly take lessous in fencing lrom u proleseor who encourages them by praising the progress they make in the art. The they will take boxing lessous and go to dog lights do not seem far off. Ye girl of ye period's muff is decorated with hum- dug birds, kitten aud pigeon heuds. Th y look just “too nice lor anything,” and should be put up the parlor cabinet with other curiosities to ue ad Bcadwork promises to become us common us ckrack, for everybody is doing it and every body ia wearing it, more or less Inappropriately. Like ev erything else that is fashionable, it will soon have had its day. Clusters ol roses with buds and leaves of lace art- placed at the side ol high standing collars «t dark velvet, which are worn against the throat with only a fall ot Mali res lace ou the lower edge aud p small gabot of lace iu front. Ilenry Trols bats of velvet are 'uden by French milliners ou the projecting brim with the richest satin aud velvet brocades, while English milliner** finish the same hat with a hatter's binding aud trim the crown with folds and sigrettes. The most stylish turbuns aud bats for the prome* nade are of pieces of the costume of the wearer, which are luld ou the hat frame iu tiny set milliner' 6 folds or cords, or pulled on iu any fanciful manuer aud finished with a breast, a cluster of wings or u bunch of tips. Among novelties in bracelets is one formed ol a series of gold coins, eituer round or buuare shaped, stiuug on elastic gold wire furnished with a patent spring aud fitting the wrist snugly aud securely. U1 course these bracelets come under the head ol “ap propriate holiday presents.” The i'omet Thai ia Papfdlt/ Approach- ing the Earth. Although doubtless astronomers have had their telescopes turned upon the approachs log comet every nigbtand have been watch- lug its every motion, but little has been heard of it recently. It has been decided that it will be in perluellon on the 25.h of January next, when it will be about two- thirds as far irjm the earth as the sun is. According to Lhelr calculali jus it will not be visible lo the naked eye lor six or eight weeks yet, but it nas already had one sud den and unexpected outburst, increasing about fifteen times In brilliancy in two or three days, and nobody can tell what it may do In the speciacu ar line. It is pretty certain now that It will, at least, be a much more brilliant obj ct than it was iu 18 2. Although It will not present as distinguished an appearance as llie great comet of 1882, it will probably be seen by more persons, ben cause it will be visible in the evening tky, while the dbzz er of last year was a morn ing comet. biuce its great outburst ol light aud increase in si^i last month, it has be haved like an ordinary comet, and now has a very modest tali aud an uncertain sort o 1 head that seems to be enveloped in mist. Nobody has yet discovered what happened to It when It blazed up so suddenly. The suggestion that It bad a collision with an asteroid or some other small celestial body furnDues an explanation ol the appear ances presented, but no Indications of such an accident have been dettcled in the sub sequent motions of the comet. It will be ainearly l.sgreatest brightness during the holidays, and will lurnisua singular Carist- in.id ani New Year’s spectacle. Yellow Pever at Brewton. The fatality of the yellow fever at Brew- ton, Ala., has been of a most disastrous nature, fully twenty-five per cant, of the cases dying with the disease. Brewton is a small town of less than 500 inhabitants, but nearly every man, woman end child who did not desert the place when the fever broke out has been attacked by the malady. Among the number, Mr John M Granberry, formerly ol Harri j county, his wife and all bis children, three in number, are now sick with the lever, though a letter received in this city states that all of them are much better with favorable indications for get*, ting well. Mr Granberry has so far recover ed as to be able to sit up. There were three deaths In Brewton Fiiday, but no new cases of fever. Two others were expected to die yesterday. Thus far there have been about thirty deaths. There are now about twenty-five cases In the town. Montgome-y aud Mobile, as well as all the surrounding towns, have been ex ceedingly generous in their cjntrlbulions to the sufTe eFS. imoirmeuti for November. The engagements for the Springer opera house for November number seven at the present, and embrace some very fine attract tions. Tne following is a list of them: Madison Square Eimeralda company, November 21. This company changed Us date from the third in order to av Md play- lag on the same night of the circus. MLton Nobles, November 5th. Jjhn F Ward Combination, November 9 th and 10 h. Juo T Kaymoud, N ovember 13th. Alvin Joslin Comedy company, Novem ber 16 th. Black Dwarf, or B ack Crook, November 19th. Maud Granger, November 22d. Other engagements will no doubt he made for the same month by companies desiring to fill in dales. There are several splendid attractions booked for later in the season. m •’Why so sorrowlul, dear.’ If you knew How J love you! ’—I gasp wuh a sigh. • Ob you goose, I'm not weeping lor you,’ t^uoth the maid; “J have sand In my eyet THE THEATER. A Pew JBulea ¥Which Should be Care /uuw Observed. In the first place, always arrive late. Its lashionab.e. Have your seat well down in front and In the rnlcd.e ol the row, so that every one in the same line will have to Bland up to lei you p ss. Make as much noise as possible in coming down the aisie, bo as to distract the attention of ail who may be trying to catch the opening of the plot in the play. Ask the usher in an audi ol9 voice If *ne’s sure that’s the rignt seat. Tnen when you gel lo it, and every one you have disturbed is getting quietly set tied agHn, let your chair down with *‘baDg” that can be heard ail over the house ; tnat will draw the attention of tne audience on you ; and you can stand with your back to the stage and take elf your overcoat. Don’t sit down Immediately, but take a deliberate survey of the theatre and Its occupants. Then remark lo your com panlon—you should always have a com panion—“it’s not a bad home.” As you finally take your seat exclaim loud y and in apparent surprise, “Why, they’ve com menced.” The audience may not have pre viously observed thiB fact, and will be grate ful for the information. By this time every one in the theatre will have noticed you and those who are fortunate enough to be in your immediate neighborhood will be quite glad you’ve come. Ab the play proceeds keep up a running commentary on the characters and dia* logue. It will be Instructive) to those around you, who by this time will have recogLlzjd your general fund of information, and will be delighted to listen eagerly to what you have to say. 11 they shornd fidget In tneir weals, and glance impatiently at yon not be disconcerted—tfiey do it simply be cause you are not talking load enough,and, naturally, they do not wish toloseaslngi word you utter, In spite of the fact that ai interesting dialogue is going on In the play. It the piece Is one you have seen before yon will have au excellent oppertunlty to anticipate the characters on the 6tage in the d .velopment of the plot, by telling your impaulon what they are going to say and o. It will be lar more preferable to those around than the tedious and Incapable manner adopted by the actors, beslde- showing that you are an old theatre-goer, and have seen it all. If any grateful boor In your vicinity should mutter that he "guessed people would Just soon hear the aci^r s version of this play now, and get other people’s when they had time to hire a hall,” attribute the remark to his dense ignorance, and be sure that the litter ol laugtiter which runs through the clrc.e is exp:essive of contempt lor his opinion, and not at your expense. There fore, don’t allow it to prevent you from coni tinulng your remaras and interruptions during the next act. Invariably go out between the acts. Its the“pioper capah” and aflYrds those wno have t« rise In allowing you to pass an op- portunlny to stretch themselves, lor which they aie truly gra'elul. Don’t return until ome moments alter the curtain is up, and then repeat then »ise and busileyou made m your flirst entrance. You will be rewarded by a look of intense relief on the face of every persou round your vicinity, who be gan to lear you would not return. Tne ie smile with which they greet you will amply recompense you for any leellng of ennui the performance may entail, As the play nears lis conclusion, aud just as everyone interested In it deslies perlect quiet, rise and begin moving out, otherwise you may have to wait until the ladies In your row get to the aisle, and that would be •deuced slow.” The people near you won’i mind you going—and may possibly regret that you didn’t do It sooner. Something About Charity Work in the cay. The money expeLdsd in this city for the suppo.t of me poor in th 3 course of a sin gie year must oe in the aggregate a very much larger juii than many would sui pose. The amount levied and collected by law is but a Very small amount—a mere trlfls, soto speak, cf the amount comrlb uted. All the churches have societies for the relief ot the.poor and that there aie nuiner ous associations so, that among tnem all, the entire city ie about embraced in their op erations- In addition to and probably be yond all thes. 1 , are the unseen ana unre corded acts ol Individual and private charily which go to swell the suois tx pended for the poor to an amount in the aggregate which would seem incredible it It could be named. This amount would be even larger ihan It is il our citizsns did not know that in giving to many applicants they lend tfli3i6nt aid to the cause of im morality and crime. Frequently these de mands are extremely embrrrasslng to the kind hearted who would snudder at the thought of turning away empty-handed a proper subject of charity. There are few persons In all this ’country who devote so much time and so much in terest in looking slier the poor and desti tute as Rev. Dr. J. H. Campbell, ol this city. At all times, and In all kinds of weather, he may be seen plodd ng his way, here and there, and his mission Is in behalf of the poor. Taough tottering with age, and feeble in health, he is active and vigorous in heart, and devotes all his energies toward the relief ol the distressed. He frequently drops into this office, and his sa.u ation Is I have come 10 beg you to help me a little, the aid ne solicits being the Insertion of card calling attention to some distressed case. He dropped in yesterday to request to call the attention of the ladies to the card published Saturday morning, asking them to mike the goods that had been given him Into garments for the poor. We had a long ta-k with Dr Campbell yesterday afleinoon about the poor, and about th.sa who contributed to their ne cessities. Said he: 'I could no begin to name all the indi viduals 11 I were to try. The Eagle and Fhemx mills have this week given me more than a thousand yards or cloth lo nave made into garments. J Rnodes Browne gave me cloth for the liniug aud thread to make them, and told me If I warned anything else to come and get it. I met him on the street one day and he ave me £25 in money, Dr Bussey always ueips me uoerally. John King, the pro prietor of your paper here, is always very .iberai In publsshlng things I want made known and this Is doing a gr*.at serviC3 foi he poor. The railroads bring me In wood tree of freights, and the city council has made appropriations to relieve their dis tress. Ii would fill a long list to enumer ate them all, and I Wou;d haidly know now to go about it.” In speaking of the ladies, Dr Campbell as enthusiastic in their praise lor the manuer in which they had always aided him when their sei vices have been solicit ed. He had never yet calltd upon them without meeting with a hta'ly response. There is no doubt but what Dr Campbell has been the instrument ol untold good in city and he is a man o! such character hat he haathe unbounded confidence c* tire city, and «hey give him their hearty coaopera<ion. His is a work of love and is worthy of all the support that Its given him. the Georgia State Gazetteer for 1HS3 4. Mr C F Weather oe arrived in the city on esteiday with the third volume ol the GeorgiaBia.e Gazetteer for 1883 4, for de livery to subscribers. This volume has Just been issued and is a great improvement on the former ones in arrangement, waich Is evident at a glance and becomes apparent when you begin to examine Its contents. It is very creditable indeed to Us compiler, Mr Weatherbe, who with his forty assist ants have spent the last five months in gaiherlng the valuable Information in ref ence to the state contained in the 13'JU pages. It Is referred to with pride that this jormous work has been entirely executed aud prlnled In Georgia. Alphabetically It begins at Abbeville and winds up with Z jar in Bulloch county, and from the beginning to the end of tne coun-. es, towns und hamlets notone Is omitted Underneath the name of the town is its lo” cation and ils Institutions, complete and entire. Alter this exhaustive store of in formation, is then printed a perfect class!** lied business and professional department, a wuich Is given me name ol every man In business from the richest banker to the smallest tradesman in the state. All the olliclals from tne governor to justice of the peace, the court calendars and in lact every species of information that could be sought is given in concise and accurate style in the Gazetteer. The wcrK contains a vast amount of curious and valuable informa tion, and will be found serviceable to both scholars and business men. We give a few statistics lrom it: Georgia’s population 1b 1,542,189, and she has an area ol 68,980 square miles. There are 137 counties, and a total of about 3 000 aces. There are seven cities in Georgia of over 7.00J population, and twelve of up wards ol 3,510. There are eighty cotton and woolen mills —which is nearly half the number In the entire south—and over 2,710 mills of various kinds. There are 89,000 planters and farmers, more than 1.20J practicing lawyers, clergymen, 1,800 praciicing physicians, 350 fish culturlsis (re ported), 200 newspapers, 5,760 grocers and dealers in general merchandise, 200 den tists, 1,200 blacksmiths, 900 shoemakers, 250 music teachers and 1,900 regular teachers named (rommon schools not having reports ed names.)

While we were engaged in taking a peep at the Jersey Jackets, the same girl called to her oempanion “Come and see these beautiful white embroidered flannels,” when the an swer came, “No, I haven’t got time right now; I want to look at these Gos samer rubber clcaks, and here they are in all sizes, too.” About that time Mr. Jones invited the fair damsels around to look at his new tuckings, which he told them were only 35c, 50 *, and 75c per yard. We also overheard him say that during the week he would add many novelties in buttons. Judging from the pleased expression of the girls, they under stood that he would have something pretty. “O, yes; to be sure we have.

There is some taiK about changing the name of Browneville so as to make the postcffice and town agree. The Lively post- office was establ’saed in the town of Girard in Russell county, and should have been called Girard instead of Lively. The post master pul his office on wheels and rolled It out of tne couniy, whether by authority or otherwise, we know not. By moving it back to Ru.s9il and clanging its name to Girard, all confusion in names and places can be avoided. As most or all of Lively is in Russell, the name L’.vely is superfluous and th mid not be recogulz;d. Sofaraswe have neard an expression, the cltizjns of Browneville are very well satisfied with the name of their place and do not desire any change—at least of that sort. G rard, in yrars past, had a postoffice, and such a change as we recommend could no doubt be easily effected. There has been a good deal of talk about Lively, but we donbt if any body can define Its limits. It is generally pposei to be the little business village at the west end of the upper wagon bridge, all l which is in Girard.

The Secret of a Touching storr. A very beautiful and touching story was telegraphed the other day from some far western town, which told how a white dove flaw in at a church win dow and lit upon the shoulder of a fair young bride who was lust being given away at the altar. The poetic thrill which was crused by this Incident hB3 been tamed into grief by the discovery that tbe fair young bride spent over six months training the dove lor this matrimonial act, with the one blessed purpose of getting her name in all the papers.

A dead-lock—a woman’s switch. will unite with the Northern Metho dist church in celebrating the oentena ry of Methodism. In this connection we have deemed it proper to give a short synopsis of the origin and growth of Methodism in America. The Wesley brothers came to Georgia In 1735, and, as is well known, preached in Christ church, on Johnson square. This was after organ izing in England, in company with George Whitfield, a band of associates for their mutual and moral improve ment. The rigid exactness ol their lives attracted general attention among their fellows in England. They were obj ects of ridicule and contempt, and received various designations, but the term “Methodists” was applied to them by a student oi Christ Church College, Oxford, on account of their method, cal life and work. However, after the de parture ot the Wesleys for Georgia the organization was dissolved, but the new religious life enkindled manifested itself in the formating of a “Godly Club,” who were more zealous iu their ministrations. Oa Wesley’s retnrn to London he pursued his great object, that of bringing the church to a pure and holy life. He was soon debarred the pulpits. Whitfield took to open air preaching, which was at first not pproved by the Wesleys, but who af terwards followed his exampli. Their ( fiorts were continued until Method ism had extended intoScotland,Ireland and Wales through John and Charles Wesley’s teachings, while Whitfield came to America ana aroused the reli gious consciousness of the people from Maine to Georgia. Withheld made other visits here, and afterwards visited Bermuda, where he preached the gos pel oi the Methodists and gained many auhereuls. The nucleus of the firet Methodist church in America was com posed of immigrants from Ireland, who had been members of Wesley’s societies. During the revolutionary war the ministers of English descent, except Ashbury, returned to the mother country, the English church in Amers iea was nearly extinguished, and the dependence upon that church nearly tailed them. This caused a majority of the Methodists to provide for their administration ' inde pendent of the English clergy, which threatened a disruption of the peoce and harmony oi the church. Un der these circumstances Wesley ap plied in 17S0 to the bishop of London to ordain at least one presbyter to admin ister the sacraments, but be refused. In '784, Wesley, assisted by Rev. Thomas Orejghton and Richard Waiscoat, pres byters, ordained Rsv. Thomas Coke, LL. D., as superintendent of the Meth odist churches in America, with As- bury as assistant. On Coke’s arrival a general conference of ministers was held in Baltimore, December 24 .h, 1784, and approved the appoint ments This conlerence also adopted the Episcopal lorin of government, made the Episcopal odice elective, and held the superintendents amenable to the body of ministers aud preachers Thus tne church first assumed organic form, and lrom that time the progress of Methodism has been onward, until now it is one of the largest religious denominations in the country, and wields a powerlul influence for good. -0 * — * THEN AND N'OK.
