afternoon phper in Columbus. Mr. Byington
will bo joined in the enterprise by other experi

the financial aid it may need, and it is their pur
pose to give Columbus a first-class evening news
paper.”

T1IE XI Vi SYVAflOM’E.
Preparations llolmr Made for Its Immediate
Erection—A Fair to he Given by the Ladies.
Active steps are now being taken toward build
ing the new Jewish synagogue. The contract,
we understand, has been let for erecting the
building, the lot is being cleared preparatory to
laying the foundation and tho material is being
put on the ground. A large portion of the funds
to pay for the building has been raised, arid the
ladies of the congregation have charge fthe
ways and means for raising tho balance. They
contemplate giving a fair in a few weeks for the
purpose of augmenting the fluid for building the
synagogue, and we bespeak for them the abund
ant success such a laudable move desorv s. The
new synagogue will he an ornament to the city,
and all should do something to aid in its con
struction.
NEW POSTIL ORDERS.
Facilitating Delivery of Mail Matter on which
Postage is Due.
Postmaster-General Viias 1ms issued an order
changing the regulations in regard to the treat
ment ot insufficiently paid mail matter so as to
secure a prompt transmission of such matter to
the addressee.
Under the former regulation all mail matter
held for postage was required to be sent to the
dead letter office unless it had upon it the name
of the sender, in which case it was to be returned
to him for the payment of postage due. An ex
ception to this rule was made in case of free de-
livery post offices, the postmasters at which were
required to notify the addressee of detention of
matter on account of insufficient postage, and to
request them to remit the amount of postage
clue them in order to have the matter forwarded
to its destination.
The order of Postmaster General Vilas requires
every postmaster in the United States to notify
the addressee of matter held for postage, and no
such matter is to be sent to the dead letter office
until after it has been lieid long enough for a re
ply to the request for additional postage, not to
exceed two weeks, except when directed to very
remote places in the United States, when it may
be held for four weeks. Notice of detention,
however, is not to he sent to the addresses of
property held for postage which is directed to
foreign countries, but if the name of sender be
unknown, it should he at once sent to the dead
letter office.
The latter provision applies chiefly to corre
spondence addressed to countries outside of the
postal union, since within the postal union pre
payment of letters is optional, aud other mailable
matter only partially prepaid is forwavded and
double the deficiency in postage collected by the
country of destination.

RULES FOR THEATRE GOERS.
The May to do When Visiting a Theatre in Order
to lie Known us a Veteran Goer.
The latest rules adopted by theatre goers by
mutual agreement areas follows:
Always go late.
Saunter slowly down the aisle.
Make as much noise as possible taking seat.
Raise your hand and beckon to usher for pro
gam mo.
When you get it attract attention by the way
it is flourish ed before looking at it.
At first be inclined to sneer and jeer at the
plav, and whisper “chestnut” or cocoanut in an
audible voice.
When the curtain goes down on the first act
and great applause follows, get up and go out,
apparently disgusted.
Return in the middle of the second act and
smile when ntl those who have to get up to let
you pass grumble.
Ask some one if you have lost anything by not
seeing the first part of the second act, and if so,
what was it in detail.
At the end of the second act yell bravo! and
make n demonstration of applause that will
deafen everybody around you and bring the
actors before the curtain.
Don’t go out between the second and third
acts, but remain and bore everybody in hearing
by making a gushing criticism of the fine points
made by the actors who won your hearty appro
bation.
Work your opera gloss to its fullest capacity
during the third act and applaud vigorously
every fine point made by your favorite actor,
even if it mars a pathetic scene.
Go out between the third and fourth acts with
a great deal of hustle and assurance, and come
in after the curtain has gone up, with the unmis
takable smell of liquid refreshment upon you and
a hilarious disposition to be prodigal with ap
plause.
Be sure and leave before the last act is over,
just as the hero is dying and speaking in a low,
tremolo voice, and don’t neglect to snap your
opera glasses in casing them, and stumble over
the knees of those who ignbrautly desire to see
the curtain go down
RUMORS ABOUT THE CENTRAL.
Heavy Purchases of Stock. Supposed to he in the
Richmond mid Danville Interest.
A special from Savannah to the New York
Herald, under date of October 22, says:
“It is learned here to-night on the very highest
authority that recent heavy purchases of Georgia
Central railroad stock, with voting proxies for
New York account, are in the interest of a move
ment on the part of the Richmond and Danville
system to sec me control of the Central at the
meeting of the stockholders of [he road on the
first Monday in January. The Central rood com
prises 2300 miles of track in Georgia, Alabama
and South Carolina, with steamship lines lVom
this port to New York and Philadelphia. Despite
John II. Inman’s qualified denial, it is generally
believed here that he is tho controlling spirit in
the movement.
“General E. P. Alexander, now in Nqw York
and once president of the Central system, it is
asserted, will he pushed by the Richmond and
Danville interest for the presidency of the Cen
tral. Mr. Inman is heavily interested in the
Richmond aud Danville and is said to have in?
creased his holding at least $1,000,000 within the
past twelve months. The Central has tapned
five of the most prominent points of the Rich
mond aud Danville system in the finest part of
the South Caroline cotton holt. This has, of
course, greatly reduced their business from that
source, and it is to overcome this and airy flirt her
encroftchmeht that the present fight is made to
secure the Central.
“It is reported here that recent purchases at
New York in tho Inman interest aggregate in
the neighborhood of eighteen thousand shares,
and it is believed that General Alexander will be
able through personal friends to control at the
coming meeting sufficient shares to insure his
election. The Inman interest, however, have s.j
far been unable to secure control of 6100 shares
held by .Mrs. Hettie Green, and this block is ex
pected to play an important part in the struggle.
“Savannah business men are awakening to the
fact that Mv. Inman’s interest will he all in the
direction of turning traffic over the Richmond
and Danville instead of the Central, and to Nor
folk as against Savannah, and on this account
the opposition to the contemplated coup is ex
pected to become more determined from this
time on.
“The heavy buying advanced Georgia Central
stock from 60 to 107 in the past three months, the
stock closing to-day at par.”
HOME INTERESTING REMINISCENCES.
An Old Gentleman from a Neighboring Village
Talk* AbouMillie Earthquake of lHIt—The
Growlh of Columbus.
While passing on the west side of Broad street
yesterday we. were cheerily greeted by Uncle
Billy, seated in a comfortable chair on the pave
ment fronting a corner store. A vacant seat be
ing near by, we paused to chat a bit with the
old ge’ tleman. We talk with the
aged because they are fond of telling about the
long ago, and we delight in listening to a relation
of t heir reminiscences.
Uncle Billy was horn in 1802, hut is yet full of
that vivacity and sprightliness which comes of I
good health and contentment. H> noiv resides |
in a neighboring village, hut lived in ihis town j
when it was lai* 1 out. He was 9 years of age, j
and resided near Katonton, Geor- j
gia, when the earthquake of 1811 i
agitated this section of our hemisphere and j
aroused the pioneers of this region from their
slumbering couches. His mother, in common |
with most persons of that era, thought the shak- i
ing was premonitory of the end of the world and j
the comingjudgment, and her devout soul was
stirred to its deepest depths. His father was not
so demonstrative in his apprehensions, yet he
wore an expression of deep concern. Uncle Bil
lie, though then but nine years of age, well re
members how the dishes rattled in the three-
cornered cupboard, which at that date comprised
one of the articles of dining-room furniture in
every provident household. Some years after
the event, and when he was 16 years of age he
moved into east Tennessee, where he resided for
a period. There he saw numerous evidences of
the violent and destructive work of the earth
quake. Acres of land had been, in places, sunk
en far below their original altitude and the great
forest trees which had stood*upon the surface of
the sunken areas had died from the effects of the
shock and were then in a* state of decay. But
the region of greatest violence was along the
Mississippi in the state of Louisiana. In places
the channel of that great river was completely
changed and ponds ai\d bayous were made
where none existed before and many of those
then in existence Were emptied of their waters.
The shocks continued for some period afterward.
It is not often we meet up with one whose age
and recollection carries him back through a
period of two such notable events in earl li dis
turbances as the one of recent date and the one
of 1811. This section of our state, however, can
boast oi as great a number of octogenarians as
any other part of t#ie habitable earth. We were
satisfied before leaving Uncle Billie, as we young
er folks familiarly call him, that contentment of
mind and freedom from worry had much to do
with his uninterrupted good health in his ex
treme old age.
He visits Columbus once a year and spends
several days looking around and seeing old ac
quaintances. He also visits other cities in our
state. He says that he notices in Columbus
more evidences of solid improvement than in
any other place. Coming as he does, only at
intervals, the changes taking place are more
striking to him than to one who sees the city
every day.
Late Peaches.
We received yesterday from J. J. Wood a bag
of late peaches, which usually ripen about the
ltfth of November, that were grown in his yard.
They are a late variety, and were planted to take
the place of other shade trees. The peaches when
flilly ripe are of an excel lent flavor, and come at
a season when such fruit is not to be had except
by t hose who i aise it.
Going to the Grand Lodge.
The Grand Lodge of Masons meet at Macon
to-day. Quite a mini her of Masons passed through
I Columbus yesterday en route to that city. Among
| those whom we noticed were Capt. L. L. Stan-
! ford, of Hamilton; Mr. Geo. Oglctree, ofKivlin
> lodge; Mr. A. J. Floyd, of Kimbrough lodge;
Mr. Wright, of Troup factory 4 Capt. A. J. Tucker,
i ofChipley; Mr. Hudson, of Meriwether county,
1 and Mr. Gillis, of Stewart county. Dr. T. J. S.
Kimbrough, of Columbian lodge, Mr. A. M. El-
, ledge, of Mt. Herman lodge, and Judge F. M.
Broods, chairman of the committee 011 work, will
I represent the Columbus Masons.
Personal.
Major J. A. Shingfeur left for Jackson, Miss.,
yesterday.
Mrs. Reese Crawford left for Birmingham
yesterday. •
Mr. J. L. Dennis, editor of the Hamilton Jour
nal, was in the city yesterday.
Col. W. T. Revill, editor of the Meriwether
Vindicator, was in the city yesterday.
Miss Jessie Cranberry, of Seale, is visiting the
city, the guest of Mrs. Eugene Cranberry.
Miss Minnie Sheppard, who has been visiting
Miss Maggie Cook, left yesterday for Macon to at
tend the state fair.
Miss Susie and Genie Campbell, of Chaleybeate
Springs, are visiting the city, the guests of Mrs.
J. A Walker.
Miss Dovie Seay, qf the White Sulphur Springs,
who has been visiting Mrs. Catherine McArdle in
this city, left for home yesterday.
Mr. J. II. Gautier, who has been reading medi
cine under his brother, Dr. Gautier, in this city,
left yesterday to attend a course of lectures in
the medical department of the University of
Louisville. His many friends here wish him
success.
Michael Strogoff To-Night.
The “Michael StrogotF” company will appear
at Springer opera house to-hight. A large audi
ence will be out to greet them. The Russian
drama of “Michael Strogoff,” which enlists the
natural synmathies of the Sclavonic race and
gives it a special interest with the ruling power
of that ( moire, is one of the most romantic eDi-
sodes in the recent history of the czars, and is
j the foundation'for the famous romance in which
j the name of Michael Strogoff is one of the most
! conspicuous features. Either as fiction or fact it
I serves ns a basis for a succession of
j adventures which have been intimately connect
ed with modern Russian history, and are pic
turesquely employed to illustrate one of the mod
ern incidents of Russian romance. On the stage
it has been somewhat variously treated, accord
ing to the florid fancies of those engaged in its
stage illustration. The substantial incidents of
the romance are alike, but materially differ in
their mode of histrionic presentation. * The play
as presented by Hav<?rly’s Michael Strogoff Com
pany discards to an extent the imaginary illus
tration which involves a multitudinous display
of the teipiscliorian ait, and is more literal in its
treatment. Havcrly lias a large and efficient
dramatic company, and carries uelirly two car
loads of scenery, while many gorgeous and char
acteristic costumes are worn by the artists en
gaged in this mammoth production.
