THEI ATLANTA WBBKLiT STJ3ST—Q, THKA PLANT A SUN UtOriUl.l'S TR.tCHKRH /JV f»AVKJT- r##.v. Seventh Anna < 1 Meeting On yesterday the hull of the H. I. Kimball House was filled with tue edu cators of the rising generation. Never be tore has our city been honored with a greater display ot tu cut ttiau on th*s occasion. From every portion of the State delegations came up to join in this convention, and by their knowledge and experience mutually advance the interests of each other in the noble catling of forming and cultivating the future minds of the State. The Associition was c-ilie 1 to order by the President, Dr. Lipscomb. Jhanoellar of the State University. A (('•••ver whs offered by the I4ev. David Wills, I). D , afier which Hon. Joseph E Brown, President of the Board of Education At until, was introduced to the Association, and proceeded to deliver an address ot w*-lcoiie. He spoke ii- eubs.at'Co as follows: Ladies and Gentlemen: It is a source ot pleasure to welcome yon to this city. Your presence is eousidered ss an honor by our citizens. In this address of wel come it is n"t necessary to review the ob jects which have brought you together. Y'our e.t ling is one of utmost importance to tue State. The changes which have fuken place in the past few years makes it none the less important. The oi l sys tem which prevailed has undergone a change, and no d mbt under the disposi tion >>f Providence, who is ever working wou -ers, the development f a iiew sys tem is t<> be inaugurated by you. Pnysi- eul interest is only to be developed by mental power. Massachusetts acquired her prestige by the development of her educational interests, aDd that is the secret of her success in holding the power she has with her sister States. Georgia is now awake to this subject; her min eral, physical and industrial growth, is m a measure to be determined by the atten tion she pays to the development and culture of the minds of her future citi zens. The city of Atlanta s head and front on the subject of education for both races. Here it is not a system in sentiment but of reality, and is inferior to none other in the country. This must be carried out throughout the entire State. Then Georgia will become what she lias been, great in name and great in power. Iu conclusion, it, is rnv pleas ant duty io welcome you to the public schools of Atlauta, her h ospitubties and enj lytn-nfs. Dr. Ltpscom \ at the close of Gov. Brown’s remarks, arose and said: Judge Brown: Iu behalf of the Teach ers’ Association of Georgia and for myself. I thank you for the words you nave spoken auu the welcome yon have extended to us. Your words are full of sympathy and encouragement. 1 don’t propus 1 to talk much about our labors. The work of the teacher is the wides. of nny profession; its otnnches extend the farthest; its powers are most felt: the fruits are most beneficial, it wo Georgians care to have tha s.tme pow er of other portions we must cultivate them . There is a Georgia greater tnan the G- >rg.a we have lo.-t. Tue resources thui in‘ yet to be deve'open will make her a power and tint power is in the hr.on. T in principle of selt-Jevelop- ment is the great question of tue day. Science must be put into industry, the from which the opposition oomes, name ly, from the book agents themselves; be was in favor of the resolution. Prof. Mallon wanted to Lave the question of text books outside of the Association. Prof. Baker, of Savannah, thought this subject a very important one. Mr. Glena thinks the whole impracti cable. The resolution was lost. The reeuiar order was taken up. Class Exercise in reading by a primary class from Lnckie S»r*-tt Public School, At lanta. The olass t tken was that ot Mis» Lizzie Echols. Owing *o sickues of their teacher who was absent, Prof. Mallon c.iudmcted the Exercises. He stated that the class were uoder most oomplete dis cipline; hey certainly gave evidence of a thorough culture so far as they had gone iu the art of reading. This class was the 7th grade and had read the Second Reader and far advanced in the T'rird. The Exercises were indeed very gratifying and elicited the applause of the audience. Prof. Geo. M. Duos, of Columbus, read a paper on the incentives to study. L’he President stated that the p^para, wlieu re id, were open for discussion. Ii v. D. 8. T. Douglass, while agreeing in the main with the various incentives ludeu to by tue author, out must dis sent to that of using ridicule. Major West approv3d of the use of ridicule, and thought it a most useful incentive—not to be used as a butcher lines his knife, but with discretion. Further discussion was post^ou-d and be matter laid on the table. The Commits e on Membership re ported the name* of a number of gentle men aud ladies desiriDg to become mem bers of the Association, who were elected members. Mr. J. 8. T. Lancaster offered tne fol lowing resolution: Resolved, That members he requested to bring before the Association, by reso lution or otherwise, such topics as are of general educational importance. — Adopted. A change of programme was announced for to-day. Oa moti. n, the Association adjourned till 8 o’clock p. m. EVENING SESSION. The attendance on the Association was quite large at the evenin° session, fully •s large aa upon he two earlier sessions, We noticed a number of citizen visitms iu the audience and a number on the 8 age, amoDgjiwhom were nc t a few dis tinguished educators. The President introduced the Rev. J Dixon, D. D., ui Augusta who addres ed the Association, bavmg for his subject •‘Thought and his Chariots.” He said tnought is the force of forces. Thoughts come to us in book:, in pic tures, iu nature, iu music and in science. Every thought, is a glow of light, shall give poetry as one of the first chariots of thought. Poetry has science for its substratum and truth for its for mation. Poetry is a tliiDg of God Be made . hir Prophets poets. Poetry is the voice of Nature. Another chariot which thought travels is speech. Pictures, Paintings and Por traits are, t »o, chariots of thought. All birds are not the same birds, so all men a e not the same men. Pictures are pow ers which eaa be read. My advice to those who are ambitious for distinction is “to make haste slowly.” Thinkers CITV PRLMCMC COURT* -Aa *14 Hellenic snw'dec'sres The gods, who govern won * affair..

Its a high old thing to We on the jury and get in jail aud fined for being a little late. Not so with old Ten end Costs. The gods never tinkered on a better job when the Fates ordered a first-class judge. His prices, althongh high, are still iu keep ing with the times. Such mottoes as ‘Live and 1st live,” “One price oon- cern,” “ Positively no credit,” “If yon don’t see what you want ask lor it.” “ I sell for ca h, the other fellers give crvd ; t,” are strung all round his room, aud they mean just what is said. The fame of this wonderful Judge has not only gone abroad from “Dan clean over to Bersheba,” out has reached the mountains, and even penetrated the« nt- oi-the-way little nook of Chattanooga,and on yesterday one of her city fathers was iu attendance to see how it was himself. When old “Vinegar” entered Jonsen and Alderman Daily, of Chattanooga, were extolling one mothers’ good looks, and had up a first class mutual admiration society. Jonsen introduced the Chatta nooga Alderman to the Recorder, who invited him up to Court and gave him a seat to his right The Court, by way of apolouy to Daily, stated that he had been sick two days, and would simply trot out his stock walk ’em aioiuid the track and close the snow. This was something of a disappointment to Daily, aud he offered the Coun a prescription which is applied with wonderful success to the Mayor of Chattanooga, in virulent attack of phan-tods. Daily gave the Judge a copy of the recipe, with instructions how to apply it, and after Court was over the Reporter called by ana asked Turpin if there was any danger in giving Atlanta Recorders prescriptions written out for Tennessee Mayors. Turpin’i reply was soothing, and for further satis faction gave a copy of the recipe: lino at presfenfc.* In order to give him s chance to do so, he let him off with five and costs. Sam Chamberlin bad be*»n gone from home two years, and when he returned he came with a war whoop and paint, and about the fiift thing ne done was to slash his old lady.

The Court then resolved itself into a committee of the whole and drew the hole iu alter it. Oa inotiou of Ur. West, the thanks of the Association wire tenderer to Dr. DiX 'U for the intellectual entertainment given, which was adopte . by a r.sing vote. The Chair announced the following gentlemen as Chairmans of committees to visit the schools—the committees to be appointed by the Chairman: To visit tae Boys’ High School, .»lr. J. S. F.

Tne following was then announced: The citizens and committees are request ed to meet at the Kimball House, where carriages will be provided to take them to the sch' ols. Such of members as are not on the committees, are to select the schools they desire to visit, and are to spend the first hour and a half at the school with the committee, and then go to the other sohools. The Association then adjourned. Am Imposing Masonic Institution. The installation of the Prince of Wales as Grand Master of the Grand Masonic Conclaves of England and Ireland was attended, it is said, with a Masonic cere monial which will not soon be forgotten by the distinguished irateraity. With solemn rites the Prince of Wales was in stalled at the “Convent General,” to fol low the. language of the printed pro gramme, held in London recently. Into the mysteries of that august performance profane eyes were net allowed to pry. But it n*y be said that whatever was re quired to install his Royal Highness was performed. A special Great Priory pros pects as two years’ degradation from his position was opened; the G-and Master elect entered the hall uader tbe arch of steel, and was received i>y the Grand Prior of Ireland, the Grand Master Emeritus of England and other high offi cials. Then the Convent General was opened, the Grand Master elect took the oath, tigned (be “roll of thd Sepulcre,” assumed bis place on the throne, and aai there the principal figure in an imposing scene.

However, in the enthusiasm of the hoi ors to our visitor, the Court came near forgetting his business, when Jon sen called out Maggie Valentine. The charges against her were for drunken, ness and disorderly conduct. She “nd Ella Cummings, who is always coming up before »he Court on some charge or other, got ’nto an altercation about a gay and lestive youth, who paid his at ten tions alternately to bo*h. This individ ual wat, repieseuted to be quite a “heavy swell,” aud sported the most extravagant, harness— “In shoit, his rig And mieo, ibri ugbou:, proc aimed the craft 1 »ing, a lover ou a cruise ; A Hellespont Lender, daft >s he, with looking ou email ehoes Fair h :nda, bright eyes, and other trifles Wherewith a pretty woman nfl. s The hearts of men.” His uffection was but a Platonic love, to which the Arctic Pole, the Pacific Slopi a*d Rocky Mountains were lesser myths. The rival queens met and fought, aud knocked cacti other down, when the gallant police stepped into the ring, and si panted the combattants, exclaiming: •‘Fie! fie! how wayward is this foolish love.

A long trial ended in fining Mac and Smith each ten and costs. William Hudson, whose early relatives discovered New Y< rk, having failed thus far to trace up aay of his ancient ancestry, concluded to wait for the arrival of the Air-Line train, and to kill time, went into the nearest establishment and pur chased a pint of Bsrleyoora’a beat.

This ecclesiastical body adjourned yes terday after a very harmonious seseion of four days. About two hundred dele gates were in attendance, representing thj several associations and auxiliary so cieties of the State, besides several influ eutiai representatives of the denomiua non from other States. Tne sessions of the convention have betn ably presided over by its Moderator, D. E. Butler, E.-q., of AiiRUsta, Messrs. McCall anil Warren acting *s aecret»ries.

It was chattered by the Grand Lodge of England in 1735, aad was re- bartered by the Grand Lodge of Geor gia, on the organization oi that body in 1785. The miuntes of the Lodge from 1735 to 1776, were destroyed during the revolutionary war, and during the occu pation of the city by the British army, the lodge was, to use a masonic expres- 8»on, “called off,” and did not meet again until St. John’s day, December, 1784. From that time it met regularly untii the historical “Morgan” excite ment, when it was again “calleu off” for eight years, meeting again in 1835. Out of five Masonic lodges in Savannah at the time of the Morgan excitement, L’Esperanoe No. 6, Union No. 10, Hiram No. —, amd one other, Solomons No. 1 was the enly lodge that survived, in fact it may be said i. was the only one in tbe jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge oi Georgia that eame ont unscathed. Since that time il has continued to meet regu larly. Daring the late war, the old minnte books previous to 1646 were lost, and it tm generally supoo. ed tnat they had been destroyed, but a few months since they were found, though in a very dilapidated eendition. The books were put in snape and have been rebound by Bi o J. H.
