witnessed this, in former years, in Hep

no doubt stimulated these young trees to

corn, limy, have wiltod under a succeed

We suppose that it woald be no exsg-

dried on the stalk before tho corn was
mature enough to admit of its pulling. A
good deal more of the corn was cut down,

found that it would make no ears.
“June Buna" Aoain.**-A lady residing
in the city yesterday sent ns word that
tho “Juue bugs ' hud for some time been

could find none of tho buzzing pouts al
home, they might obtain any number
from her gurden, catching them for theui-

Hir.ir figs have been infested by those

reports, in connection with the fact tlmt
they have not been seen at all on other

tin June bugs buvo this year beon partial
in their visitations, and have not spread

It is possible tlmt closer investigation nml

Deaths in Tike County,—From the
Troy (Ala.) Airmen gcr of the fid instant,
we learn that a negro boy named Dick
Brown, assistant iu a barber Bhop in
Troy, was fatally burned ou Saturday
night lost. He was repeating the not un
common foolish practice of kindling a
fire with kerosene oil, when an explosion
took place, scattering tho burning oil
over tho boy, uud burning him so badly
that he died tho next morning, after suf
fering great agony. Tho Alessmyer says
ihut hu w^u very good boy. aud boro his

From the same paper we dip the fol

The Rev. J. 1*. Diokenson, who was
stricken with paralysis at the residence of
Mayor Wilkemon, some two weeks since,
died on Sunday evening last, aged about
70 yoars, during forty of which he had
been a fan hi til minister of the Methodist
Church. His remains were taken to

that one imaginary history is as good as
another. Ho it is, viewed in a mere
matter-of-fact light. But there may be a
vast superiority in one over tho other,
ben the design is either to arouse atten
tion to conditions that render tho imag
inary history not unlikely, or to entertain
tho public by s narrative that will excite
interest by its plausibility or engage alien-
tion by ita graphically portrayed incident.
In both these respects “The Battle of
Dorking" is infinitely superior to the Lou
don 7V«rtfV reply to it. The latter seem*
to bu a mere attempt to offset the former
by giving a different result to a collision
between the sauio parlies. There is little
afe or NttriiOtion iu its narrative, arid it is
evidently intotidud to cover by an attempt
at imaginary history hu argument against
the probability of the results predicted iu
tho first pamphlet.
With this introduction, we givs the plot
of “The Second Artnudn" j The Uoutincn-
tal League, with Kaiser William at tho
head, got up an invasion.of England in
1871 ; but English diplomacy wus wide

Gen. Roddy at once went to the room

cun vernation.
“What!" said Clanton; “does he say
'i i. n vent ix that ho has bribed Robert Burns Lindsay
to do huoIi a thing ax tb*t? l.iudxxy must
know of this at once.”
Gen. Clanton then returned to New
York city and informed Governor Liudsuy,
who h.ul gone there to arrange for paying
the interest on tho A. A C. li. It. bonds
endorsed by the Hlutc, what Roddy had
lold him.
Governor Lindsay at once sent for Mc
Kay ami demanded to know whut he
meant by making such reports.
McKay was terrified into making a clean
breast of it, and gave Governor Lindsay
I ten uiknow lodgment, which Gov.
l.llidsay now holds, that .Stanton hud paid
him the money ns above stated, upon In*
own solicitation and promise to fix Lind

Governor on the subject, but ki’pt the
money himself. Inducing Stanton lo be
lieve that Lindnuy was bribed.
To this day Stanton does not know bill
thsl the bribe was paid, slid hence he is

keep her hands off, and he has oven fillu

Kilt. Atlanta &in /—During tho silting
ut the A moral Society this morning, a
communication was received from the
Board of Trustees, stating that they had
resolved to have -the charter of the Uni
versity so altered and amended as lo per
mit them to elect four more Trustee.., nn 1
that these Trustees nhould bt etUrftd from
the Society of the Alumni. Ibis is ot* vast
importance, and is considered quite an
acquisition—almost a triumph on the part

future will be zealously guarded by the
Alumni Trustees.
At 11 o'clock to-day Col. B. A. Thorn

audience uh the Literary orator of tho
DeinoHthenian and Flu-Kappa Societies,

“The Duties of the Hour," and instantly
won the attention of the audience by a
finely modulated tenor voice, that, despite
the confusion, penetrated to tho most
remote partx of the hail.
He said it was useless to recriminate
each other on the issues of the war. We
had the respect of the World, as many
battle-fields could testify. After enumer
ating the many triumphs of science, such ,
as the Mt. Cenis Tuuuel, the Suez Canal, j

At tho muuieipul election preceding

the Radical ticket was declared elected j

For thu lute municipal election thu ne- j

at the election. Yet a majority of over 1
700 for the Citizens' ticket was cast, not j

whites voted the Radical ticket. This '
proves that at least 700 negroes voted the
Citizens' ticket. They did so at the risk
of their lives, and had to bo protected by
tho whites from the vongounce of the

act, with either Chio or Pennsylvania the
| Democrats could afford to lose two or
| three of the smaller States set down iu
' tho Democratic column, as Now Hamp
shire, Florida and Arkansas, aud still have
j votes to spare. Rut, supposing Now York,
which is uowr Democratic throughout,
I should, through late events and misman-
I iigumeiit, be revolutionized and go for the
Republican Presidential candidate, there
would be still Fonnsylvauin, Ohio, Con
necticut, New Jersey uud Texas to faff
back upon. I’ennsyl vauia and New Jer- J
■ey would make nu for the loss of New
York. Ohio, New Jersey and Connecticut,
oven with tho loss both of New York and
J Pennsylvania, would givo the election to
I the Democrats if the other Slates should
stand as placed above.
i'Ue Republicans will have to soenre
sixty-four votes in additiou to those of
the Slates set down as positively for the
party, to elect their candidate. They
would have to carry all the doubtful
States. If they should loso even one of
the smaller States, that is, either Connec
ticut, New Jersey or Texas, and yet carry
both Ohio aud Pennsylvania, with New
York for the Democrats, the Democratic
candidate would be elected. If the Re
publicans should carry all three of thu
greut States of New York, Pennsylvania
and Ohio, there would be little probability
of failure. Leaving New York out of the
Democratic column us we have given it,
and turning over the doubtful States of
Ohio aud Pennsylvania to tho Republi
can*, the Democrats would lack thirty-
nine votes. Admitting that they could
carry tho other doubtful States, namely,
Connecticut, Now Jersey, Texas aud Ne
braska, in all twenty-two votes, they alii!
would have to draw seventeen votes from
tho States ranged as Republican. Out of
these the ouly three thut seem barely |m>h-
sible for the Democrats to gaiu are Maine,
Mississippi and Lonisiaua, which together
give twenty-one votes. From present ap
pearances, Mien, the gain of either New
York or Pennsylvania, with the other
States classed as doubtful, would give the
Republicans the electiun.
It is evident, therefore, that the battle
grouud will bo in these two great central
State*. Oue lusy save thu Democracy ;
both would, in all probability, give thorn
the eh ctiou, while the loss of both would,
no doubt, give the electiou to the Repub
licans. There will be some change in the
electoral vote after it shall be redistrib
uted ou the basis of the census of 1870,
aud the Republican States ruay gain a few
votes, but the chauge as affectiug the
relative strength of the two parties will
not be great.

Death of Dr. Blake D- Brewster.—
This honest man, accomplished physician
and useful citiron, died at his residence
at Pleasant Hill, Talbot county, Ga., on
Monday last. Dr. Brewster was about G5

He leaves a devoted wife, several inter
