nized by the President as British
consular agent at Brunswiek, Ga.

tension ot the M. & B. It. It. has

ment Company, of Cincinnati.
Clarkson N. Potters name has

not provable.
Tbe.remaius of Mrs. Henry Hat
tennan, of New York city, who died

Wafchihgton, Pa.
Gen. Inngstreet, late minister to
Turkey, has returned to America,
and in a few days will enter upon
lus duties as U. S. marshal of the
State ot Georgia.
Ex-Governor Seymour is quoted
assaying: “I have very little faith
in in n ho quit preaching for pol
itics, and Gou. Garfield is no ex
ception to the rule.”
The Democrats of North Carolina
are dividing up on the whisky que. -
lion. Senator Ransom is of the
opinion that the regular Democratic
ticket will succeed.
Senator Conkling addressed the
citizens of New York last week, in
which he criticized severely the
methods adopted by the adminis
tration party for his defeat.
The New York dead-lock con
tinues, without any material change
in the situation. Those favoring an
adjournment think the time has not
arrived when that questiou should
be pressed.
Ex-Governor Seymour, speaking
of the strife existing in the re
publican ranks, says : “Ijjee in it a
(i ( od!'i' t X • 7*,**- <r* wlio<3
strugglo foretell the early dismem
bciment of the party.”
Brady, the star route swindler,
says he wants to be investigated at
once. From the evidence already
elicited it would seem that an in
vestigation is by no means desira
ble, unless he wants an opportunity
to plead guilty.
There is a disturbance among the
republicans of Virginia. A portion
of them desire to form an alliance
with Mahone, while the remainder
prefer to put a straight-out repub
lican ticket in the field. Things are
warming up to fever heat.
The mayor, and other?, of At
lanta, have received many inquiries
concerning the N. Y. Jewelry Cos.;

ing fraudulently with their cus
tomers.
George P. Woods, the prince of
clever editors, is visiting Green
C rve Springs, on the St. Johns
river. On his arrival he was made
to disgorge Lis gourd seed for fear
the rapid growth of his gourds in
that climate would crowd someone
i ito tlye lake?.
Toe town of Batavia, N. Y., is
filled with excitement over the dis
covery of what are supposed to be
the remains of William Morgan, the
man who attempted to expose the
secrets of masonry in 1855, and
who, it is supposed, was abducted
and made away with.
A railroad train, twelve miles
east of Cleveland, 0., on the 22ud
ult., ran into a buggy in which
Thomas Garfield, an uncle of the
president, and Mrs. Alonzo Arnold,
his cousin, were riding. The former
was instantly killed, and the latt-r
sustained injuries from which she
is not expected to recover.
The report recently published in
the Cochran Enterprise, and copied
into other papers, of the shooting
of Mrs. Garrett by her daughter,
and the subsequent whipping of the
daughter by the father for the act,
turns out to be false. A Mr. Cheney,
it appears, circulated the report
through malicious motives.
The Wiregrais Farmer*.
It is conceded by some of our ex
changes that the wineglass section of
Georgia is improving faster than any
other part of the Stato. It is an evi
dent fact that the wiregrnss farmer,
as a general rule,is iu more independ
ent circumstances than any other. It
lias long been a rule ef practice among
them to have, ou each farm, a small
stock ot sheep aud cattle, Ilogs were
always regarded as indispeusible, aud
the farm is never without them unless
by accident. When destroyed by die-
I ease the farm is repleuished as soon as
I possible. So closely has this rule been
adhered to that it has somewhat be
come a reproach to a farmer to say
he is a corn or bacon buyer. Another
rule of practice has been to plant a
variety ot crops. Coru, oats, pens,
potatoes, aud sugareune are regard
iod among the first requisites. ■
Under this system the farms have
beeu sulf-sustaiuiu£, the farmers have
had uo necessity to contract debts,
aud the consequence is, they have
gradually prospered. It is only re
cently that they have taken up the
idea of accumulating wealth by rais
ing cotton —an idea by no means to be
deprecated, provided the busi
ness of cutton plauting is uot carried
oq unwisely and to the detriment of
other crops. When the financial
standing of the wiregrass section is
compared with that ot other portions
of the State, the difference is found
to be iu favor of the former, and is
invariably attributed to the fact that
the farmers plant sparingly of cotton.
No Hospital Needl'd.
No palatial hospital Deeded for Hop
Bitters patients, nor large-salaried
talented puffers to tell what Hop Bit
ters will do or cure, as they tell their
own story by their certain and abso
lute cures at home.—Now York Inde
pendent.
A South Carolina jury, says the
Nashville American, came very near
justifying the profuse assertion of a
Kentucky Judge that there were two
things omniscience did not know—
what a widow and a penitent jury
will do. In the failure io convict
Cash, charged with murder commit
ted iu a duel, the State lost a golden op
portunity. The killing ol Shannon by
Cash was not even in accordance with
the code. If the code were law it
would have been murder.
The Darien Gazette gives an ac
count of the horrible murder of a
white woman by trvo burly negro
men, because she would not produce
her husband’s mouey. This she could
not do, because ho had none. They
have been arrested, and will doubt
less suffer the extreme penalty of the
law.
Perham, of the Free Press, wants
a railroad built from Macon to Cedar
Keys via Quitman. YYe can’t help
but like Perham even if he ill-treats
us ; but, somehow or ether, our con
fidence iu his veracity i* somewhat
shakeu since he gave that blast with
the William goat’s horn.
The Fort Gaiues Tribune says:
“Mary and Andrew Choice, a color
ed couple of this county, have beeu
married sixty-five years aud have
had born to them twenty-four chil
dren—nineteen females and six males,
all of whom are now living.”
Two negro boys, about ten years
old, got into a fight near Hawkins
ville on Saturday last, and one
stabbed the other, killing him
instantly.
The railroads in the South are be
ing consolidated under three systems
—the Cole, the Louisville and Nash
ville, and Jay Gould’s combination.
The Telegraph and Messenger
say s the directors of the Central
railroad will hold a meeting in Ma
con on the 4th inst.
A special to the Constitution says
C. P. Cliole shot and mortally wound
ed Joel Phillips on Saturday last, at
Jasper, Pla.
Caterpillars are destroying corn,pea
vines, aud every thing else that is
green, iu Hernando county, Fla.
The Springfield Republican says
Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague has thrown
Conkling overboard.
Eleven cases of sunstroke were
reported in New Orleans on the

Sptrr's Most Pressing Auxiety.
Representative Emory Speer was
asked to-night by several newspaper
correspondents if he wanted to deny
the statement contained in a rocout
dispatch to the News, that he had as
sured the president that ho would
vote with the republicans in the or
ganization of the next houso.
He said that he would net deny
that statement. Ho is more concern -
ed to know how the information as fo
llis intention in this particular came
into the hands of the News correspon
dent. Mr. Atkius, ox-collector at
Savannah, is one who knew of Speer’s
iutentions as to voting iu the next
house organization before it reached
your correspondent. He has been ou
the lookout for sovcral days to find
out how it came out.
The tenor of the Republican press
of the north, in discussing Speer’s
jump, if it may be so styled, is by no
means complimentary to him. Asa
rale, such papers as have spoken of it
treat it iu the light that Speer makes
the move for a certain interest in the
federal patronage of Georgia.—Wash

MUSICAL HOMES
are happy homes.
“What has earth dearer iu palace or
grove,
Than music at nightfall from lips that
wo love.”
Ah yes, Music, Sweet Music does
make Home, Sweet Home, happier
and dearer, and the head of a family
that iu these days of culture and pro
gress does not place a Piauo or na Or
gan iu his home, deprives himself and
dear ones of n vast amount of pure
and refining enjoyment. Our Sunny
Southland has in the past ton years
taken a wonderful step forward in
Musical development and the grand
question now being agitated in her
millions of Homes is not, “Shall we
buy an instrument,” but “How and
where shall we buy it.” Ami it is a
perplexing question, too. The papers
are now flooded with flaming adver
tisements offering wonderful bargains
of SIOOO Pianos for #297, 17 Stop
Organs for #BS. One friend advises
this, and another that, and so on, un
til the worried buyer becomes actual
ly afraid to buy at all, he bo
cheated, aud so'delays u' trsume un
scrupulous traveling ageu't come
along aud “scoops him iu” with a
chea>., “snide” iustument, which, in
the end, proves a source of mortifica
tion, rather than of enjoyment.
WHERE TO BUY'HOWTO BUY
