Late Saturday night Lem Broughton went to Sam Jenkins’ house in Cooleyville to see him on a matter of business. Jenkins was not at home at the time and his wife invited Broughton in to await his return. Broughton was a little “drinky” and fell across the foot of the bed. In a few minutes Jenkins arrived, and finding Broughton in his room, did not wait to investigate nmttors, but slashed out a knife and began to carve him up. After cutting Broughton in several places Jenkins ran, and had not been nrrested at last accounts. Broughton’s wounds were dressed by Dr. Griggs. While serious, they are not considered fatal.

Cowdery, ou Rose Ilill, leave for their home at Shortersville to-day. The Black Flag. The “ Black Flag” will be given at Springer opera house to-night, and will no doubt be Reeled by a large audience. The Chicago Times has the following to say of the play and the com pany : “ One of the largest audiences ever assembled at the Grand opera house was the one that gathered there last evening to witness the second produc tion in this city of Pettitt’s sensational melodrama “The Black Flag.” But little need be said of the piece itself, its merits and shortcomings having been so frequently discussed of late as to render any further comments not only tedious but unnecessary. It is by all odds the best of the recently imported melo-dramas, and never fails to prove interesting. Its mountings last evening was excellent, while the Company, as all will agree, proved the strongest ever seen in their respective parts. Ned. Thorne was, of course, the ideal Harry Glyndon, and it may be 6aid in conclusion, that a more interesting or better acted play was never put on the stage of the Grand opera house.” A GREAT SERMON. Rev. George G. N. Macdonell Delivers a Re markable DIsronrNp on Sunday Morning. It has been noised about the city for two or three weeks that Rev. George G. N. Macdonell, of 8t Luke church, was preaching some sermons of unusual power and Interest of late. And on last Sunday an Enquirer-Sun reporter attended the services. Besides the usual congregation, which is always very large, there was a large number of persons present who do not go to church regularly, and also numbers from other congregations whose pastors are absent on a vacation. Tlie spacious edifice was literally packed by one of the most cultured congrega tions that could be assembled in Georgia. Hie scene was enough to Inspire any man. The soft sunlight streamed through the stained windows and fell upon chancel and pulpit and preacher and people like a beautiftil benediction from heaven spoken by light instead of sound. After two hymns had been sung by the choir, which is one of the finest in the city, and after a very earnest prayer, Rev. Mr. Mac- donell read the text: “He that is not for me is against ras.” A short text generally augurs a good sermon. For three-quarters of an hour Mr. Macdonell held the congregation as rapt and immovable as if he had frozen them to the pews with the sound of his voioe, and there were evidences of regret when he finally closed. No synopsis or description could do this great effort Justice; and even if it were printed in full, the cold type could not convey or depict the thrilling effoct which the presence and voice and Hash ing eye and fearftil earnestness of .the preacher had upon his hearers. Mr. Macdonell bogan by saying that when mighty issues were being contested, and the decisions of war and battles were yet hanging in the balance, the neu trality ofany man brought upon him the contempt of both sides, since both sides suspected that the neutral party was in secret sympathy with tho enemy. That in the great war between the states the man who was unwilling to come out boldly against the north in the south and the man who was unwilling to come out heart and soul against the south in the north had heaped upon him the condemnation of his neighbors and countrymen, who said in effect, “ He that is not for us is against us.” The preacher then described in language that blazed and crackled like fire the ruen and the agencies in the country to-day that were against tho spirit of Christ. His animad version upon the liquor traffic showed that there was nothing neutral about the preacher. He drew a picture of the “ polished profligate and libertine whose culture and pedigree and money carry him, like a hawk into a dove cot, among the pure and stainless daughters of the best families in the land, where he literally preys upon the tenderest of the flock.” It was enough to blanch the cheek of every mother in the congregation. And it did. But, perhaps, for polished invoctive and scriptural scathing, no part of tho discourse equaled tho reference the preacher made to the printing press of the whole world, which, he said, in many places and instances was shamefully prostituting its high power and calling to unholy purposes. He gave the “yellow backs” and the French novela a few moments of his attention, which ought to put parents on tho watch as to what their children read. He then took up tho daily newspaper press, and while hia remarks wero judicious and conservative, they were tho truth, and they were terrible. If this part of the sermon could have been sent off in the Associated Press dispatches, it would have made men like Joe Pulitzer, John McLean aud Murat Halstead feel like wearing a mask when they came out ou the streets for the noxt mouth. In concluding the portion of hia remarks upon the daily press, Mr. Macdonell said: “After what has been said in this connection, I deem it no more than an act of simple justice to say that in my opinion the Enquirer-Sun, of Columbus, is the purest, cleanest and best daily paper published in the state of Georgia.” The peroration to this remarkable discourse was extremely thrilling. The following is one of the sentences it contained: “The difference between the infidel and the Christian is the difference between despair and hope; the infidel boasts of a grave without a resurrec tion, and a world without a God, while the Christian walks about Ziou and marks well her bulwarks, and upon every stone ‘polished after the similitude of a palace’ he builds the founda tion of a deathless hope for the eternity that is opening to receive him by and by.” At the conclusion of the services the sermon was the subject of comment among the entire congregation, and later it was talked of through out the city. The reporter heard two intelligent men who are among the most prominent business men of the city say that it was the finest pulpit effort they had heard in ten years. And another gentlemau standing near said: “If the congregation will have it published in pamphlet form they will ac complish a great deal of good by it. It is too able an effort to be lost that way without print ing it. I’ll give $5 for one copy of it ” Rev. Mr. Macdonell is too well known to be in troduced to the public along with his sermon. He is in the prime of life and is doing l\is best work now. And be hind him he lias a record as a Methodist itinerant minister which is a greater honor to any man than to have built the pyramid of Cheops or to have led tho charge at Thermopylae Not only St. Lnlce’s congregation, but Columbus as a city is proud of Mr. Mcdonell; and it will simply be an act pro bono publico for the Methodists of the city to keop him among us as long as possible.

Cummings, pastor, officiated. He spoke of having additional help this week. I TIIE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Over Thirteen Hundred Children Enroll on the Opening Day. The fell session of the Columbus public schools began yesterday. The weather was most favor able and the attendance was the largest of any opening day In the history of the schools. There were 1336 names enrolled, which is an increase over last year of 101. The following shows the number enrolled at each school; Boys’school (Prof. Battle, principal) 267 Girls* school (Miss Birdsong, principal) 347 Mercer street school (W. H. Spencer, princi pal/—colored 661 Claflin school (R. B. Hodges, principal)— colored 171 Total 1336 At tho opening last year there were 587 whites and 648 colored. There is no better evidence of the growth of the city than the yearly increase of the number of children in attendance upon these schools. Notwithstanding the feet that there are a large number of private schools in the city, the public schools continue to flourish. They are a blessing to Columbus, and will continue to be so long as they are as well managed as they are at present and have been in the past. The rich and the poor enjoy the benefits of them alike. As the session advances the number iu attendance will largely increase. Chat Among tho Boarders. At a boarding house on Twelfth street congre gate about meal time a lot of bachelors, wid- owerers aud heads of families whose wives have not yet returned from the summer resorts. Their chat, while waiting for the bell, sometimes drifts into lively reminiscences and personal ex periences. Some of these talks we propose to jot. Well, here goes for yesterday’s talk: W., who had the floor, said: “I was traveling in Mississippi a few years ago and stopped over night in a village which, at that time, was attracting somo attention. On coming down to breakfast a little late and finding the end Beat vacant, and especially as I noticed near by a huge dish full to the brim with the finest of beef steak, I squared myself in that end seat with a feeling of intense satisfac tion at tho comforting prospect within easy reach of my fork. But I noticed at the same time that the other guests didn’t seem to be fond of beef steak, and the landlord was pacing about the other end of the long table in a wild frenzy, as though he had been monkeying with the after end of a hornet and had been surprised in the output. But not being in a humor for making protracted observations on the movements of others, I drove my fork into a large beef steak and yanked it on to my plate. I slashed my knife into a large sized corner of it, and was just about to set my teeth on the delicious morsel when I was startled by a yell like an epi leptic scream. At the same time I saw the land lord waddling towards me as fast as his short legs and plethoric corpus would permit. What in the name of Abraham can be the matter? Is the man crazy? Is tho meat poisoned? were some of the ejaculatory incoherences which bounded through iny mind. But the landlord, with emotions of re gret, flushed anger and mortification, all com mingled in his rotund countenance, and in almost exhausted breath explained that the beef was bitter and the rascally butcher had deceived him. I had never heard of bitter beef before and ven tured to ask the cause. “ ‘Oh, the bitter weed—the bitter weed they oat.’ “After learning the meat was not poisoned, but only bitter, and as I was having a new ex perience, I concluded to go the whole ticket any how. So putting the morsel, which till then had remained impaled on my fork, between my molars, I began to grind. At flapt I could taate nothing but good steak, but soon 1 Btruck the latent mischief, when all at once the whole thing seemed transformed into a huge cud of quinine, and I was glad enough to get it out. The other guests, who already knew a thing or two about bitter beef, who who had been watching me wich suppressed merriment, then gave full vent to their hiiiarity, and I was the victim. Since then, when 1 am traveling, I listen to what the natives say, especially about matters of food.’’ Col. B. had commenced to relate an incident in his rounds when the dinner music sounded, and he will finish his story to-day. River Nows. The steamer Naiad arrived yesterday morning, bringing 115 bales of cotton and a small miscel laneous freight. The cotton was consigned as follows: Slade & Etheredge, 32 bales; Swift & Son, 13; Blanchard, Burrus & Co., 23; Carter & Bradley, 44; Flournoy & Epping, 3.
