Some time ago, Mrs. Anna S. Kino-
brought a suit for divorce against her

Government m prosecuting the Hyae
Park speakers. .

CONCERT saloons.
His Honor, who was astonished at the manner it
which his court adjourned bay before, refused to
admit the ladies to an audience, well knowing that
Johnson would not think of dancing where fair
.yes could not behold him. The device was a good
one, and was the means of preserving the most pro
found silence, broken only by His Honor's timid
voice, as be assessed the -ost or imposed a fine.
THE fOUKD OP TRUMPETS,
however, occasioned a little hilarity, and His Honor
ordered the gaie to open to let tho elephant pass.
An entrance guard oi the grand army of the Poto-
moo slepped to the front and declared that it was
not an elephant, but ft colored brigade, that wished
to enter and tender the respect usual to high public
functionaries. This’ announcement made His
Hcnorsmile hngely, and. calling tho advancoguard

BREVET CORPORAL MATHE,
for such was his name, depicted in glowing colors,
the progress of his journey here. Bis former afflu
ence had given him opportunities which he found
convenient m hie latter days of advei sity. He had
walked in the “bloody chasm;” he had carried his
colors triumphantly—to the rear, rnaey a time; and
more than once was complimented upon hit alacrl
tj-at getting out of danger. At the end of such a
brilliant fonr years’ service, President Johnson, re
cognizing his heroism, promoted him to the high
rank of brevet corp -ral, a position which he has
since filled with ail due credit Hie correspondents
represented to him tho sad condition of tne Sonth.
and how badly it needed men and capital. The cor
poral, whj had not served four years for gain, wsb
without available capital, hut be could fill a paying-
office well. He had been to many places, and had
generally met with much better’ success than poor
young Rockafellow, whose thorny path Ms familiar
to most of ns. His Ronor, after expressing ina h
sympathy for the corporal, desired the show to pro

The youni -viiee were elegintly arrayed, snd every
thing pro - ised well. But Ly x-eyed Justice w*s
watching, ‘nd decreed that the game being unlawful,
the concert should cease. This desire to cut short
the few sweet hours alloted to Bachns was duly re
sented, and a difficulty arose, which we will not at
tempt to describe. Paddy O'Rafforty got struck—
with an id«a that he had better go homo, and the
others were held to answer for their part in ihe af
fair.
GEN. JOHN MOGRAW
claimed that as a free American citizen he had a
right to be musical, and would not be interfered
with in tho good work.
JUDGE JOHN SMITH
always did h»ve *n ear for music, as well as a
mouth—for eating. Horace Greeley wives it as hio
advice >hat people should make both ends meet.
Therefore, the Judge who fs very logical, conclu
ded that he would make his ears his month,
and thtib sr. isfy that b ner craving for sustenance.
It is a hard thing that a man cannot enteitain his
friends just a« he pleases.
His Honor resolved the matter carefully, discrim
inately, c»lmly, coolly, theoretically, logically, |judi-
cUUy snd otherwise, > nd then concluded to drop it
like an exceeding hot poker.
WILLIAM LITTLEMAN, ESQ.,
had big ideas. Ho wit such a man as is seen but
once tii a century, and when once seen, not to be
sought again. He wss born at a very tender ags
in fact, so far back that he dont. recollect a single
fact connected with the transaction. This has
troubled William a grea deal, as he blushes to con
fess, knowing nothing of an affair in which ho was
so immediately concerned. He is of noblo extrac
tion, however, being descended from the celebra
ted Hampden, whose name so brilliantly adorns the
page of English history; end a remote ancestor,
preferring freedom in tho forests of'America to
sycophancy in the smiles of royalty, cost his lot in
the vicinity of what is now known as Washington.
Georgia There our gentle William first saw the
light, and played tn boyish glee :nnd thence hecamo
to Atlanta for tho purpose of watching the Legis
lature. Becoming disgusted with that body,
he fell — fell by the wayside — and drank
bis maiden glass. Oh. how his head reeled and his
body shook: the frightful reptiles tha' seemed to
creep out of tho gla»s snd wind themselves around
his throat, and arms, and trunk, till the very hairs
on his head Blood straight in expect nt fear; the
little monkeys and big monkeys frisking around
him: th-chimpanzees and gorillas making hideous
the picture: the little fieo dogs ycelping at his heel,
and th- crazed—uncontrolable—overwhelming feel
ing within him that he was being booked to- the
bot’omless pitl But the gob’et w»s drained,and what
use ie there crying over split milk ? William thought
th«rp was none, and on he went, drinking in Uie day
to keep himself warm, drinking at night to mska
his head cool; drinking whei ever and whenever he
could. 'Twas thus his presence was required so
often in this place, and as His Honor imposed the
five dollarB and costs, he felt a twinge oi compassion
for a man so blind to himself.
JAMES G. SADDS
was unfortunate, and would not have been here if
he was not. His Honor gave him a full, freo and
unconditional pardon.
,C. W.HOLLET
was drunk. He did not drink because he liked it,
hut because It made him leei more at home with his
friends. His frlrnds were a jolly set of fellows, per
fectly willing that ho shuuM spend oven his last col
lar with them, and then willing lo wait till he could
get more. Bnt sometimes he plays a trump jpuns
on them, which makes them feel “queertsb.” Ho
has a wooden leg, hut. so adroit is he none of his
friendB knew it. Bitting in a bar-room with a nest
of these butterflies, he proposed that all tM com

It is an awful thing to get married—so ws are In
formed by those who have entered the wedded Btate;
bnt to have all sorts of obstacles in addition placed
in one’s way. must render it in oierabie We bare
been told so m dch of what occurs in connection with
marriage, that we doubt if we will ever sum up
enough cours^ to ask a “fair maid” to share our lot
—which is small enough, indeed; and every day
makes us more and more diffident.
Bat we have a friend—an agreeable, mild man
nered young maa—who made the desperate resolve
to marry, and having made it, was determined to
carry it out. His affianced lived in a distant Btate,
and thitherward must he wend his way—on a path
of roses, in hie estimation—to claim the heart and
hand of his fair young bride.
One bright morn we missed him. He was gone—
gone an d left ns in this bleak world alonr—gone to
get married. Arriying at the last elation on his
route, he looked around, hut no conveyances were
to be seen. Not even the kingdom of Bicba'd III
could procure a horse, as the epizootic was there,
and the animals were all sick. But our friend was
going to marry, and what cared ho for horses ! He
flew on—his feet, to the fireside wheie he was so
anxiously awaited, and in the happiness of the hour
torgot all about horses and epizootic—and us, for
which we never expect to forgive him.
Tho happy couple were married, and of course,
amid th«congratulations of friends thry did not
allow themselv-~'B to think about mundane matters,
but lived in one grand, overwhelming, overpower
ing outburst of love—such as we are told is always
felt by young married folks.
Bnt tnis could not last always. His business de
manded his presenoe at home, and tho new order
of things demanded that he should bring his bride
with him. Horses, there were none—neither could
a mule be found, and the depot fas at least three
miles away. In this predicament the bridal party
were compelled to begin the journey of life afoot,
and along they walke u , friends, relatives, bride and
groom, making the woods ring with laughter, as
they spoke of the novel procession. An ox team
followed with the trunks, and tho loud voice of tho
driver, as he would excliim “Haw, Buckl” “Gee,
Bright,” was really atunping.
Arrived at the depot an affecting '.farewell took
place, in which the bride received her full share of
kind ivishes from her friends, when th'o ir in moved
slowly off, bearing away one oi Yir ini >'s fairest
daughters, and leaving a void at a fireside where she
had for voars been a joy and a source ol gladness to
her friends.
They are now at homo, where, let us true!, they
will enjoy many years, of that felicity which can
only exist between two hearts having but one
thought and one desire,

HUMORS OF THE PANIC.
There is a laughing side to everything, end the
epiaootie is me exception to the rule. It ie wonder
ful how many men' ■knew all abemt it” One men
knew it was here six weeks ago. Another, whem
we found at Oliver Jones' stable, was positive It was
not the epiceotie et ell. When asked fox his theory,
he said that the nostrils of the horses had been
filled with dust until they could not breathe. To
illnstrete he had e bay brought out, and rammed By HON. ATjEX. H. STEPHENS,

One »tTmt Killed and the Other not Expected
to hive.
The Cause* of the .Feud,
Old quarrels, closely hugged for years, generally
result in a calamitous manner. Day after day tho
bad passion is fostered and nurtured until it grows
into a furious bate, »uch as calls for blood to satiate
its morbid craving.
Near Flowers' Station, on the Air Lino Railroad,
live two hard-working men, who were respected
by their neighbors au J whose habits were those of
■briety and temperance. In early life they had a
boy’s quarrel, such as takes place every diiy, and
every one thought with that day the quarrel ended.
But it was not so. Teey each bri-oded over the
event end seemed never to forget it. Robert Wom
ack and Thomts Ware, it seems, were never to be
friends.
m tho 14th instant they had worked all dsy, and
in revurnlog to tceir homes they met in the
woods. Inriantty the old passion prompted them
and another quarrel ensued Womack shot at Ware,
striking him in the abdomen, while Ware stabbed
Womack an 4 killed him instantly. Ware, it ie said,
cannot recover.
Waxe has a wife and several children. Wo did
not learn whether Womack was married or not-
A negro hoy witnessed the whole transaction. He
was the only person present.
Tims an unfortunate quarrel has resulted lnaterrl-
bh* tragedy, and may, perhaps, bo taken up by the
friends of tho parties, and who knows Where it will
end?
Rock Salt—Many persons in this country nover
saw any '‘r.-ck” salt, and do mt know iw nets and
value. It is found In one or two portions of the
world in a crystallized form, and exists in hugs
misses, very much resembling the common flint
stones of this section in its appearance. It is the
most highly concentrated and the purest salt in the
world. To prepare it for family use, it must be
ground.
It is the most convenient and eoonemtcnl, gs
well as the best regulated method of giving salt
to stock. A piece ns large as a mast’*
bead can be thrown into the trough ot
horse or cow, or a huse boulder cau be thrown
down on the ground in th* lot. They will lick it
as long as they n*ed it—till tho demands of nature
are satisfied, and then let it alone till thay Ogata
need salt, when tbty will again lick at it. Thu* tha
waste arising from giving otook too muoh calk or
giving it to them when they do ntt wont ft Is
voided, and an animal hungry for it doee not ’
Into the month aad swallow too much at case, sa is
the case when the common evaporated salt is given
them.

TREATMENT OF THE HORSES.
More than ordinary core should be taken, and
owners should see that a thorough cure is effected
before they attempt to work the horses. If they ora
sent out before they are well
A RELAPSE
is the censequenoo, into what is (known as Horse
Dropsy, which, in the opinion of llr. Bergh, is noth
ing more or less .h&n the result of epizootic. The
retapBe is more fatal than the original disease, and
when an animal dees recover it is foundered. From
this it may be seen how careful owners should be
if they value their property. The opinion among
those well informed on horse matters is that horses
will be apt to be tender the coming winter, and
more apt to take oold than before the epidemic, and
it will be well for all who have valuable animals to
take extra care of them, and not imprudently ex
pose them.
PREVIOUS EPIDEMICS.
Fro* an English work, by Fleming, we learatbat
a disease identical in symptoms and character to
the present scourge visited England and Ireland, in
1750, and attacked almost all tho horses in those
countries simultaneously. The epidemlo 1 tried
about six weeks, and, although not particularly
fatal, still it carried «ff a great many animals.
A serious malady also raged iu Belgium and
Silesia ia 1848 and 1849, but it oannot bo said to have
been as bad as the present.
POULTRY,
in many Northern towns, has been attacked—fatally,
a general thing.
THE RESULTS,
of course, cannot yet be summed up. but wo sup
pose in a few days Atlanta will be like other places
attacked—•minus hors* power. The drawback tp
business will be considerable; but wo hope tt will
not be as heavy ns it has beon elsewhere.
TBE HORSE jmjUUMJOY.
Its Appearance tn AStmt§m Eorty Horses At
One Stmt tt Attacked.
Atlanta will soon be able to hold up her head as
an important manufacturing point. Quite a num
ber of manufactories are now carried on in tho city,
most of which, we are glad to state, give promise of
Snosess. The w nt of petnmag* has hitherto crip
pled manv who would have kept up businnss here.
Put consumers are finding out that home-made ar
ticles are often as good as those made elsewhere.
In the iron business Atlanta gives promise of an
extensive business. When the Georgia Western
Rood la finished, coal, for one article, wil- hecheaoer
and more plentiful. This is an important item in a
manufacturing town. The Rolling Mill, owned by
Messrs. Soofield & Co., i- wertn more to Atlanta
thin fifty second class stores. We are plad that
Messrs. Scofield intend to continue to push
their business here; and hope they will suoceed.
Porter k Butler’s louudry, too, is an establishment
that does good work and dJlserves sucoess. Win-
ship’s foundry is well known and does good busi
ness.
The Railroad shopB are two in number, and em
ploy a large number of workmen. The Georgia
Western shop will also be located here.
Mr. E. Block, in candy, and Mr- Lewis, in crack
ers, occupy a large building oa Broad street. They
have both labored for public patronage, and should
have it.
We have several flouring mills, in which flour
equal to the bes. imported is ground. We hope to
see the day when they witl supply Atlanta with all
the floor she needs, and not one barrel will be im
ported.
Soap, of as good quality as is in the market, is
mode here. There ore two factories in operation,
successfully, we hope.
We need not leave the city for brooms.
building material is in Abundance. Brick is mode
b» sev«r» . while Peck is always ready to show ns
the woodwork.
Let ns enoouroge onr manufacturers. They are
the back bon- of every city, and the sure index of
tne state of its business.
For several days we have heard ramors ef the ex
istence of tho horse malady in the city, hut we
judged nono of them sufficiently reliable to publish
as it might occasion an unnecessary panic.
ITS AFPEABANOE.
Yesterday, however, the disease assumed a posi
tive shape in set ersl places, the most prominent be
ing in the livery stable of Oliver Jones. The horses
in his stable, it sennas, gave premonitory signs last
Thursday and Friday, and one by one thsy were
seized with
THE SYMPTOMS
of the dreaded complaint. Yesterday there were
forty in a disabled condition, and the remainder
were being attacked. The first noticeable symptom
Is a chill, which seams to convulse the animal ter
ribly Then a cough sncc«eds, rrfcllft resembles in
fluenza in its worst form. The horse broothss very
painfully, and when tt coughs, seems os if it would
double up.
THE PRESENT STAGE OF THE UISEASE.
Most of the horses affected aro. as yet, In the is»
ctplency of the disease. While the breathing and
omah are so palnfnt, the swelling of the head and
glands had not yet sot in, but to-day we suppose it
will assume the more advanced form.
AT THE STABLES
there is a mnnonade of coughing. It so ends as if
all the influenzas, and croups, and other like com'
platnts were concentrated for one graud effort. At
the stable of Mr. Jones, zb wo have stated, there are
forty cases and more coming. At the stable of
Swanson & Latham, the belief is entertained that It
is but a bad cold—though it is singular that so
many should get a cold at once. At the stable on
Alabama street, the same idea is entertained, and
the attaches, speaking from their topes, say it is not
the epizootic, and if it is, their hprees have had it
for two years. At a number of private stables the
disease is kno wn to exist, lye have not, as yet,
heard of any of the street oar horses or mqles being
offiicied, bat one gentleman we met averB that his
mole has hadltforaeVeral days. -* ■ 3 *

TESTIMONIALS :
A. Review, by Rev. D. WILLS, D T>
President of Oglethorpe Univeraitv
Atlanta, Ga.: «»
This valuable work, which has been anxinn.i
looked for, ht.s i ecently appearod lu a decided?- .1
tractive and popular form. Its typographic^
mechanical execution reflects credit ou thahn-T 1
which has issued tt, nd its convenient Elia ??*?
binding, and happy t fangement into chantei*
sections, admirably i lapt it to the use of s-hrw
and colleges. As a t xtbook. w* predict for thu
compand a hearty and extensive adoption, and
work for general instruction no reader in the Ism
ought to be without a copy of it. The SonthornZv
pie may be justly proud of this ncblo coatribntioC
to their growing literature, and the grand old com
mon wealth of Georgia will doubtless evince aa sm.*
preci ation of the industry, patriotism and talents of
her distinguished son by giving this richly BtorS
volume a cordial welcomo to the thousands of hw
intelligent and happy households. Wo believe thi*
this work of the gaeat Georgian is destined to be!
come the standard of historic truth and excellent*
for centuries to come, iust as Mr-Stephens’ work os
tho War Between tho SUtes ia acknowledged to U
the most complete and triumphant vindication of
the Southern people ever placed on record.
From Rev. J. J. BRANTLEY, D. D.,
Professor of Belles Leitres and Modem
Languages, Mercer University,Macon
Georgia ;
i think you aro to be congratulated on hsvhm
longlit out a School History, which, on account of
lt« fairness, its Southern origin, and especially the
fnlless and accuracy of the later political history of
the country, ought to supersede oil others at tea
South.
From Hon, MILLARD FILLM0EE,
late President of the United States;
I think it exceedingly well written, and admirablj
well calculated for academies and schools. It is ns
ceseariiy greatly coudensed, but it seems to contain
the pith and marrow of our history, eomeniut
lnged, as was natural, with Southern views, butts
impartial as any wo can expect at this time, tltbrs
rom tne North or South. I regard Mr. Stephens sa
one of our ablest statesmen, and certainly Tery com.
petont to write a history of the United States.
From How. HERSCHELY. JOHNSON.
Tho method of the work ia admirable. Each pic*
tu-o is distinct; each Is in its appropriate place; and
they are so connected and grouped as to present to
tho mind’s eye a clcar t Intelligible and harmonious
sketch of the history of the United States, from col-
oslal infancy to present development— accurate in
its delineations, and copious, but still compendious,
in its deteils. The work is admirably suited to tho
use of schools and the higher institntio. s of learn-
inc. It would he unjust to omit to say that tha
book, ns to material, ie gotten upin mosiexotllest
style. ——
From Prof. RICHARD M. JOHNSTON,
of Pen Lrnrf Institute, Maryland :
I regard the Compendium of the History of tbs
United States, by Hon. Alexander II. Stephens, a
most important addition to American literature, it
is a book for the schoolroom, the College, the Uni
versity, and every library. Though severely con
densed, yet it is most complete amt perspicuous. In
my opinion it is the only history In which an Amo
lean, whether youth or adultman, may find a Just
tv:coun, of tne basis on which the Constitution and
Government of his ccuntry wer* founded. Every
one. and especially every student, should hare it.
From Prof. E. A. STEED, of Mercer
University :
Thos3 Teachers in the South who have taught tho
History of the United States since tho war will re
joice when they see this book. They will be espe
cially pleased with that portion of the History per
taining to the late war. because in this part of the
work tney will find wnat has not yet before mrt my
eye in schoolbook*: a air, unprejudiced statement
of facts connected with the bloody war •between the
States Southern youth can read In this book s
truthful history of our great struggle for free gov
ernment by en o who is, of all others, most compe
tent to write such a work. Let thorn read it, study
it, and heed its lessons of wisdom.
From the N.Y. EVENING TELEGRAM
It is a notorious fact that even in colleges llttloat-
tention is paid to th* philasophy of politics. * *
Mr. Stepheus supplies this knowledge. From the
discovery ot Columbus to the establishment of
American Independence he oxrries the reader
quickly and gracefully through all of tne leading
events that tr&uspifd developing those facts in
colonial history which led to the organization snd
growth of the present form of government.
m * * • * *
“In tho treatment of these various subjects, Mr.
Stephens is not a partisan. He addresses his read
ers from a point of view far above the influenc* of
passion or prejudice, ana in thestatement of fact.l.to
which he mainly confines his work, there is »n ex
hibition of impartiality that forbids the question
whether this min who thus summarizes the history
oi bis country is from the North, South, East or
West.
