The Cimbria and Sultan Collide, Whereupon the Cimbria Sinks. The new# of this terrible catastrophe received on the 22nd. The Cimbria had 23 cabin passengers, 362 steerage With a crew of 92, all of whom are lost —gone to the bottom of the sea, except 56 persons. The Cimbria left Ham berg on the 17th, and collided with the British Steamer, Sultan, and sank. The disasters by sea and by land of late are appalling. The Milwaukee hotel, the Southern Pacific smash up, the burning circns in Russia and others, makes January an eveDtful month. . .i . . The State taxes of Georgia are now lower than those of any other State in the Union, with possibly one or two exceptions. The tax bill passed by the Legislature at the session just closed reduces the general ad valorem tax five tenths of one per cent. Work has again been suspended on the building of the Wesleyan Female College, owing to the second appropri ation made by Mr. Seney, of $25,000 being exhausted and the committee having no further funds at their com mand to continue the work. There has now been $65,000 expended on the structure, and it would no doubt take $40,000 more to complete the College according to the original plans. The pensioning civil officials after they have reached the age of three score years and ten, is not a wise one, only in exceptional cases. Persons in hon orable and responsible positions should lay up a sufficient sum of money to make provisions against the infirmities of age, or protacrted sickness. In the ministerial calling where no adequate sum warrants such a promise, there is a reason for providing for worn out servants; but no such reasons is good argument when the salary warrants an excess. The Suny South, the literary week ly published in Atlanta, comes out in anew typographical dress, and makes a splendid appearance. It is now in the eighth year of its journalistic experi ence, and is the only really literary pa per published in the south. We are pleased to dnow that its patronage is being largely increased, as it certainly deserves it.—not only because is South ern in its loyalty to letters and litera ture, but is really the superior of the majorty ol the large number of North ern literary papers, so called. Atlanta Constitution: Yesterday the injunction suit of W. A. Huff vs. William Markham, was concluded be fore Judge Hammond. The suit was a bill for injunction to prevent Mr. Markham from turning out Mr. Huff for his failure to pay rent. The com plainant was represented by Messrs. Hawkins & Lyon, and the defendant Was represented by Abbott & Gray and E. N. Boyles. The injunction was refused and the case will be car ried up. Mr. Huff claims te have put $21,000 worth of improvements in the house, and alleges that he has been damaged to the extent of SIO,OOO. We have been frequently asked about the provisions of that portion of the tax act which relates to pistols. Sec tion 18 of the general tax act says: “And upon all dealers in pistols, re volvers, dirks, bowie-knives, the sum of twenty-five dollars for each place of business in each county where the same are sold, and said tax shall be for edu cational purposes. The tax provided by this paragraph shall be assessed •gainst all dealers in the articles here in enumerated on and after the first day of April, 1883, and such dealer shall be liable for said tax of twenty-five dollars prior to the first april, 1883.” "The gospel in All Lands,” or the “Missionary Almanac,” is the com pletest thing on Mission work that we have seen. It is a book of fifty and more pages, and gives a complete list of the Mission work all over the world, •nd what is being done by each denom ination. It gives the general statistics of the mission world, with thirteen maps, and the population and square miles of every eountry, with an outline of the same, the names of their Kings, Emperors and rulers, and their native religions faith and customs. It also has several pages denoted to books on Mission work and their authors. Send 25 cents to Eugene R/. Smith,-74 Bible House New York. Frank Leslies Popular Monthly. The number for February is already on our table, and it is impossible in a brief notice to do justice to its abund ant and varied contents. There are articles by popular writers replete with interest and information; bright stories, sketches, etc., etc.; several meritorious poems; a comprehensive miscellany, and the pictures and illustrations are exceedingly beautiful. The colored frontispiece '“Won’t I be a Fright?” is admirable. Ben Perley Poore’s "Our Veterans,” Mark Pattison’s “Milton,” E. B. White’s “Ants and Their Ways of Life,” Robinson’s “The Loves of Catherine de Bourbon,” etc., are note worthy and finely illustrated articles. Caldor continues hi serial, “A White Sepulchre,” and- there are stories, sketches, poems, etc., by Walter E. McCann, Sydney Herbert, Dante G. Rossetti, Mrs. M. A. Denson, G. A. Davis, Millie W. Carpenter, Isabella V. Crawford, R. B. Kimball, etc. etc The number contains 128 quarto pages, and over 100 embellishments, and the price for a copy is only 25 cents, or $3 a year, postpaid. Mrs. Frank Leslie, Publisher, 53, 55, and 57 Park Place, New York- A Very Important Question. The following paragraph originated with the Marietta Journal has been floating generally through the State press. The question is seriously asked whether Treasurer Speer ought not to refuse to pay any money on account of the July session until the Supreme Court shall have decided such a session constitutional? We are decidedly of the opinion that he should not. We know that some of the ablest jurists in the State hold that such session will not be Constitutional and that no law passed by it will stand the test before the Supreme court of the State. The suggestion is certainly impor tant enough for discussion. Without touching the merits of the case, it looks odd that when the State Constitution says precisely there shall be only bien nial sessions, and the people have rati fied that Constitution, the Legislature persists in holding annual sessions. An Illinois woman who married a drunkard, grew tired of her husband after a number of years and sued for a divorce on account of his drinking. The court refused the application on the ground that as the woman had know ingly chosen a drunkard for her hus band it was her duty to discharge the functions of a drunkard’s wife. In this case the drunkard had the best of it, but in another case in New York the decision was of rather doubtful benefit to both parties. . A man, who, while intoxicated had married a girl, applied for a divorce on the ground that he proposed to the girl while stu pidly drunk and married her in that condition. The court held that a drunken man must abide the conse quences of his foolish or criminal acts. These two decisions are pretty rough, but they will perhaps have a good ef fect. Harper’s Magazine for February is a very attractive and entertaining num ber. It opens with a frontispiece en graving from George H. Boughton’s Royal Academy Picture, “The Frozen Fountain.” Mr. Wirt Sikes, our con sul at Cardiff, describes the “Wild Welsh Coast,” which is profusely and very effectively illustrated by Harry Fenn. In the second part of George H. Boughton’s “Artist Strolls in Holland” we find another and very different sort of descriptive article—one not depend ing for its interest upon a portrayal of natural scenery, or even upon its use ful information, but full of quaint and interesting pictures of Dutch life and manners, as seen in windmilly Zaan dam and the Isle of Marken. The il lustrations by Boughton and Abby are delightfully picturesque. Sudden Illness of Judge Simmons. Macon Graphic, 22nd. This morning, while presiding at the Superior Court, in the case Durden vs. Hardy, Judge Simmons was suddenly seen to arise and walk back and forth on his bench, and then went out of the court room into the judges’ chamber, which was the adjoining room. Mr. Washington Dessau, who had occasion a few moments afterwards to go into the room, found Judge Simmons coiled up on the floor, his abdomen greatly swollen, and suffering intense agony. Drs. Ferguson and Fitzgerald .were promptly summoned to give relief to the Judge’s suffering, who was pro nounced attacked with billious colic. The proper remedies were given, and at this writing Judge Simmons is consid erably relieved though still suffering. The sickness of Judge Simmons caused considerable consternation in the courtroom, and the report of his ill ness rapidly flew over the city, and he was the object ot much solicitation on the part of our citizens by whom Jndge Simmons is so highly respected and esteemed. Conrt, of course, was ad journed, and the juries dismissed until the recovery of the Judge. A dispatch directed to Mr. E. G. Simmons, dated Macon, Tuesday 23, states that Judge Simmons is much better. Leading Daily Papers for sale evey day and Sunday too. AgnepAvcook A Poor Boy’s Success. He Writes an Interesting Letter Expressing His Gratitude to a Friend. From the Fort Valley Mirror. Many of our oldest citizens will per haps remember a small, feeble sad-faced boy, named David H. Fuller, who re sided in what is known as Scuffle Town. For some time he occupied the position of “devil” in the office of the Nine teenth Century, a newspaper once pub lished in Fort Valley. Our esteemed townsman, Rev. Dr. W. I. Greene, found in this poor, but honest lad, much to admire, and taking a vast interest in him, gave him good advice, and was finally instrumental in getting him into the church. Young Fuller soon after lett Fort Valley and went to Texas, where he is now esteemed as an able and brilliant minister of the gospel. Dr. Greene had not heard of him until Wednesday last, when he received the following letter, which he has kindly permitted us to publish. It shows the result of the good influence which can be exerted upon the minds of the young, and the letter is one of the grandest we have ever read: Honey Grove, Texas,) January 3, 1883. j Dear Doctor: You will doubtless be astonished upon receipt of this, but 1 have concluded in this new year of grace to write* you, because I recognize myself your debtor in a sum I can nev er repay. Those dark days of poverty and youth, when lriends and sympa thizing hearts were tew indeed, your words and deeds, Doctor, inspired me with a determination, under God, to do and to be something and somebody. Although the degree of success attained is but meagre, still, “by the Grace of God, I am what I am;” and through that Grace indulge the hope of yet greater usefulness. In the autumn of 1872,1 was received on trial by the then “Trinity,” now “North Texas” Conference. During these ten years have served two circuits one year each, one two years, and two stations two years each, and am now in charge of Honey Grove station, with Rev. Thomas R. Pierce (nephnew of Bishop) as Presiding Elder. I have long and still cherish a de sire to visit the home and friends of childhood, but find it impossible. I must afford all the aid in my power to mother and sister; and that done I have nothing left with which to meet the ex pense of travel. God has blessed me with a wife whose piety and love of the church has con tributed no little to my happiness and usefulness. I should have mentioned above this that during the ten years of my itiner ant life, God has permitted me to wit ness 1,200 conversions and 1,000 ac cessions to the church. And now, Doctor, from my heart of hearts thanking you for past kindness, coveting a place in your memory and prayers, and wishing for your grace, mercy and peace from the Triune God, I am Obediently and grate’ly y’rs, D. F. Fuller. Robbed—The Tax Collector of Berrien County Puts the Mon ey in an Old Trunk and it van ishes. From the Berrien County News. Last Monday it was rumored that the Tax Collector, J. L. Sutton, had been robbed of a considerable amount of the county funds. The news spread rapidly, and was soon the talk of town. Several gentlemen went to investigate the matter, and found the report to be true. The particulars, aB nearly as we could get them are about as follows: Mr. Sutton had collected a considera ble amount of the tax money, and, in stead of depositing it with someone prepared to keep it in safety, he placed it in a trunk in his house and locked the trunk. On Saturday last Mr. S. took the train at noon for Brunswick, and later in the evening his the house and went to a neighbor’s to spend the night, intending to go from there to church the next day. Sunday tile weather was too bad for Mrs. S, to go home, but her eldest son, Mr. Albert Sutton, went and found the bouse open, and upon entering found the trunk open and several bundles of rice straw on the bed which had evidently been set on fire, but had gone out before any damage wa3 done. Thinking his mother had taken the money with her, and the thief being disappointed in his object had tried'to set the house on fire, he thought nothing more serions of it until his mother returned and found the money—about $1,700, gone. These facts were given ub by a gentle man merely as he had heard them, and we give them to our readers for what they are worth. Mr. Sutton lives in the country, about sfic miles south of here, and It appears to us that it was a very unsaie place for that amount of public funds, especially when there was no one on the place. The thief was certainly acquainted with matters, and he manipulated things largely to his own interest. The number of assignments in the country embraces parties in all classecs of trade, and the increase is far above the average. This is not encouragihg upon the face, and many fear it is the coming of a financial panic, while oth ers feel no misgivings attributing the reverses to causes that will soon lose their influence, and allow business to run in its natural channel, adjusting matters, before many- months, to the wants and demands of trade.

On the Train—At the Depot—At the Hotel—Description op the Quarters—The Dinner—Personal Appearance of the Marquis and the Princess. Charleston was considerably excited Friday over the announcement that Princess Louise and Vice-Regal party would arrive in the afternoon at four o’clock. A special representative of the News and Courier was dispatched to meet the train at the King’s Tree Junction, and horded at that point the “Afton,” one of the new and handsome Pullman drawing room and sleeping cars of the Atlantic Coast Line, which had been engaged for the exclusive use of the Vice-Regal party from Richmond to Charleston. From his very interest ing account we make the following ex tracts: how the party passed the day. At this time, about half-past 3 p. m., the Princess Louise and Miss Harvey and Miss McNeil her two lady compan ions, were occupying the parlor at the front of the car, and the ladies were engaged in worsted work, while on a seat near by was a guitar which had ap parently been used to beguile the weary hours of travel. The Princess had re mained in bed all day, passing the time in reading and an occasional glance at a passing station, a glimpse of which she obtained by wiping away the con densed moisture on the glass. Separat ed from the ladies in the main part of the car were seated the gentlemen of the party, who were surrounded with scores of newspapers, pamphlets and books. In the rear part of the car the smok ing room was occupied by the light baggage of the ladies, and in the same room sat the two male servants of the party 4 It was learned from the conduc tor of the “Afton,” who had come through with the car from Washington and had taken charge of the party from Richmond, that at Wilmington the British Consul and a number of English gentlemen had assembled to pay their respects to the party, but everybody was in bed and refused to come out. At Florence, which was reached about 1 o’clock, a lunch was served in the car, the gentlemen taking theirs in the main part of the car and the ladies re maining with the Princess in the par lor. Indeed, during nearly the entire trip the ladies kept to themselves and the gentlemen had exclusive occupancy of'the main portion of the car and smok ed their cigars, read their papers and drank their toddies in undisturbed ease. The Marquis occupied a seat on the left of the car near the rear. He read a great deal, occasionally took note of the rivers over which the train passed and frequently refreshed himself with food and drink He was dressed in a short coat, speckled brown and white, with pants and vest to match, and his feet were encased in slippers. The Marquis is a little above tho medium size, has light hair and whiskers and possesses a round, good-humored face. He appears to be in full health and takes a keen interest in all that passes around him. It was after half-past 6 o’clock when the long whistle of the locomotive an nounced that the train was nearing the city. A few moments latter the train slowed down and ran into the railway yard, greeted by the yells of fifty to one hundred little negroes. When the train drew up at the platform a huge wall of humanity stretched itself along the covered way and a strong force of policemen was required to keep the crowd from rushing upon the cars. Capt. Domville, of H, M. 8. Dido, Mr. Consul Walker and Mr. Vice-Consul Box, all in full uniform, were standing in front of the crowd, waiting for the party. Col. De Winton first came out of the car, and after shaking hands with Capt. Domville and the consul and vice-consul, he returned into the car with several dispatches which the consul handed him for the Princess. Several minutes then elapsed, and the crowd outside grew impatient. Pres ently the Marquis of Lome appeared at the door of the car with the Piinceß6 upon his arm. They stepped down on the platform, and were immediately fol lowed by the other members of the par ty. With simply a bow to her Majes ty’s officers, the Princess, the Marquis and the rest of the party walked rapid ly along the platform leading to the waiting room, their passage being made through a dense crowd which thronged the platform on either side. Upon reaching the station another sea of facee could be seen stretched across the room, and policemen were walking up and down in a frantic manner to keep the way clear. The party walked on at the same rapid pace into* the ladies’ waiting room, and without stopping they got into the Charleston Hotel car riages, which had been engaged for their Use. apd drove off to the hotel. The walk from the err to the carriages must have been fully one hundred yards, and during all this time the party were sub jected to the gaze of hundreds of inquis itive eyes. The Princess had on a ter ra-cotta colored jacket covered with spots of a darker shade of brown. Her dress, which was short, was of a dark striped material and was made with large box plaits all around. She wore a round hat covered with a veill, which likewise covered half of her face. To the casual observer the Princess would not convey the idea that she was in delicate health. She is about the me dium size, quite plump and with a round, fresh English face which, while not beautiful, is pretty and attractive. When the carriages containing the party reached the charleston hotel a large crowd of people were standing on the sidewalk waiting with the same eagar curiosity to see the Princess as had been manifested at ever j point where there was thought to' be the slightest chance of seeing her. The party got Gut of thp carriage at the jadief potrapee apt) went immediately up the staircase to their apartments, leaving in the lurch about one hundred and fifty knowing ones who had assem bled around the elevator to get a good look at the Princess as she should step into it to go up to the second floor, where her apartments are located. . waiting for the party. As early as three o’clock m the af ternoon people began to assemble in front of the Charleston Hotel, but the news of the delay on the arrival of the train soon got out, and the crowd, with the exception of a score or two of ne groes, dispersed. At 6 o’clock the people again commenced to gather, and by 7 o’clock the grand piazza of the hotel and the street in the immediate vicinity were densely crowded. A squad of policemen who had been on duty since 4 o’clock kept the sidewalk clear and the railed passage to the ladies’ entrance free. In the hotel the lady boarders hurried through their tea and lined the corridor on the first floor, anxious to get a look at the royal party. the apartment. Upon the receipt of the intelligence of the expected arrival of the Princess and her suite, Mr. Walker, tho Brit ish consul, engaged quarters for them at the Charleston Hotel. Mr. Jack son, the proprietor, made arrangements for his guests; the entire Southern wing of the building, containing in all fifteen rooms, was set apart for the party, and all of the rooms were over hauled and put in order for immediate use. Room No. 116, on the west face of the building, was fitted up as a pri vate parlor for the Princess. This room is known as the Bridal Chamber, and is probably one of the prettiest parlors in any hotel in the South. It is furnished with a parlor set of rich crimson velvet, to which have been ad ded two luxurious rocking chairs of variegated rep silk. A full length mirror stands against the south wall, and another large mirror rests on the richly carved mantlepiece, which is be tween the two doors in the west wall opening on the second story piazza. A rich rosewood book-case with mirrored doors stands against the north wall, and the doors leading out into the pi azza are curtained with lace curtains topped with rich lambrequins. The floor is covered by a heavy velvet car pet. There were no decorations in the room, but a glowing fire in the grate made it a cosy and pleasant place of retreat for the ladies, who were fatigu ed by their longjourney. The dining room is in the south wing of the building within convenient reach of the chambers occupied by the party. It is fitted up with lace curtains and lambrequins, and has a table with cov ers for eight persons. A buffet of black walnut with marble top occupies a position against the east wall, and the room is just large enough to permit eight persons to sit comfortable at the table. The chamber selected for the Mar quise and the Princess consists of a suite of rooms, plainly but neatly and prettily furnished in walnut, with sets of chintz furniture in dark blue and light blue and with lambrequins to match. The rooms are situated at the southeast angle of the building, the windows opening on Hayne street. A double toilet set of white china decoia ted with a simple band of pink and gold occupies the washstand. The floors are carpeted with French moquett. The visitors in the meantime had been registered by Mr. Jocoline Bagot as follows: His Excellency the Marquis of Lome. Her Royal Highness, the Princess Louise. Miss Harvey, Miss McNeill, Col. De Winton, Col. Tourtelotte, U. S. A., Capt. W Bagot, Mr, Jocoline Bagot, Dr. Burnet. Col. DeWinton and Captain and Mr. Bagot are members of the Mar quis’ staff. Dr. Burnett is an eminent London physician, and the two ladies are maids of honor to the Princess. Col. Tourtelotte is a member of Gen. Sherman’s Btaff, and is acting as an escort of honor for this occasion. THE DINNER was served at about half-past 8 o’clock in the Princess’ dining room. The table was laid with covers for eight, and was decorated only with a tray of violets, jonquils and ferns, which per fumed the entire room. Bright’s Disease, Diabetes.

There are so many patent humbugs and nostrums, in the way of medicines, adver tised all over the country, that the masses are skeptical and are loth to buy unless the article offered for sale is known to possess real merits; and on the other hand, names of well known citizens are often forged ti certificates for the purpose of effecting sale and palming off a worthless preparation. Taking these facts into consideration, it gives me pleasure to add my testimonial to a medicine which I know from personal ex perience to do all that is claimed for it. <'f course 1 refer to “Neuralgine,” a spe cific for neuraligia and headache, put up in tiiis oily by Hutchison & Bro.
