Beautiful Phenomenon.—Last Friday
afternoon, as the rain fell in torrents, and
a gloomy, leaden pall seemed to cover the
retreat of the departing day, the sky sud
denly ^became illuminated, at first by a dul'
f lare in .the Western sky, throwing a weird
rown tint upon the murky clouds, quickly
followed by a bright glow, coloring the en
tire scene. From this, a light, purplish tint,
delicately Bpnn out in its goss.mcr net
work, commenced to trace its ethereal
folds o’er the gorgeous scene bounded in
a. beautiful vista by a magnificent rainbow
high up in the heavens. This atmospher
ical phenomenon was seen about 6:40 p. m.
Dr. J. B. Carlton’s office which has been
thoroughly remodeled, is now almost finish
ed, and will be very hnndsome and complete.
The first apartment upon the lower floor
will he a reception room for patients, irav
mediately in the rear an examinating and
operating room, just above the second floor,
a labratory will be established.
Hamiltonian.
A brother editor, attending the marraige
of Clarence Stephens, Esq., to Miss Mamie
.Hamilton, at "Hamilton Manor,” in Me*
Duflie county, comments somewhat as foll
ows : By this marriage were united the
representatives of two of the first families of
Georgia. The bride is lineally descended
from Gen. Thomas Hamilton who was for
awhile a wealthy and successful planter of
Columbia county and afterwards an influen
tial citizen of Athens. His descendants
along with his brother, James Hamilton,
likewise a prominent citizen of Athens,
have ever stood in the first rank in the com
munity of their residence. The very name
«f Hamilton is a synonym of respectability
and worth Mr. Clarence Stephens is a
nephew of Hon. A. H. Stephens aud a son
of Col. John L. Stephens, deceased, a promi
nent lawyer, before the war, at LaGrange
Ga.
“Just Did Miss It.”
Last Wednesday afternoon, a* per announ
cement, the Athens Guards, commanded by
Capt Talmadge, 30 men rank and file, pro
ceeded from the monument to the Newton
House, where qcite an assemblage of ladies
and gentleman in the piazzas and windows
of the surrounding houses was gathered to
witness the drill for the red plume. Lt.
Col. L. H. Charbonnier, Capt. \V. H. Flem
ing, of the University battalion, and Lt’s.
Bryaut, Thomas and Griffith of the Guards,
acted as judges of the drill, and succeeded
by their united efforts in bringing it to a
rapid and graceful termination. After the
first round of commands, by Capt. Talmadge,
the following gentlemen were gracefully re
tired ; Messrs. Davis, Allen, Moss, Fliscb,
Long, Griffeth, Christy, Jackson, Wither
spoon, Gardner and Tilley. The second
volley was sharp quick and decisive in re
sults, and laid tenderly away some of the
pride and chivalry of the company, among
whom Messrs. Hodgson, Kirtpatrick, Vin
cent and Stovall. Messrs Scudder and
Moore next bit the dust, leaving Sergeant’s
Potter, Vonderleith, Hull and Sparks as
the perorating quartette. These gents did
well and fully sustained their martial reputa
tion, tailing however, in the order above
written down, the red plume was awarded
to Sg’l Sparks, who has worn it since the
aunual drill last year. Judge Thomas pre
sented the plume in a speech xvhich was ex
temporaneous and brief but which answered
the purpose very nicely. It is due the
Judge to state just here, that the remarks
which he had neatly written off, were fa-ten-
ened up in Sg’t Hull’s cartridge box, and
that the Judge very naturally prefered to go
stump,’’ rather than take the risk of
commencing his prepared oration and
being compelled to skirmish around to Sg’t
Hull in the rear rank, for reference. We
are confident, that the spirit of these remarks
will be understood, and that the situation
will at onto lie taken in by those who ex
pected a finished harangue from the learned
Judge.

lection of Steel Engravings, Chromos and

since Smith is ont of the field, Colquitt
will have a “ walk over.” In fact, be is
the only candidate apoken cfat all, in many
sections; the only two papers that were kindly
disposed towards Smith, which hare spoken,
are the Columbus Time*, the Camilla En-
terprire and the Sumpter Republican.
The Time* says, in substance, “Without any
consultation with the friends of Governor
Smith, we frankly say, that we are veiy
favorably disposed to Gen A. H. Colquitt.”
The Camilla Enterprise says: “Since
his Excellency has seen fit to withdraw, we
shall cheerfully give whatever of influence
we may possess to that honorable Christian
gentleman, Alfred H. Colquitt, and in token
of it, we place his name at our mast
head and give three cheers for Colquitt.”
The Sumpter Republican says: “lu our
opinion, Gov. Smith could nave received
tho nomination, had be allowed his name
to go before the Convention. Now, that
Gov. Smith is no longer a candidate, let us
rally to that generous-hearted soldier, true
patriot and Christian gentleman, Gen.
Alfred H. Colquitt. He is our choice, and
we believe, the choice of the people of
Southwest Georgia.’’

CAPITAL NOTES.
Blodgett Balled—He Will Not be Interviewed.
Colquitt’s Cbm ires Discussed.
Atlanta, Ga., April 14, 1876.
Though the week opened with sensations
that hid fair to make this the “ news bonanza
of the South” for at least two weeks to
come, the “Gate City” has quieted down
until it “ as dull ns a country stage when
the actors are off”
West, Edwards A Briscoe, have all given
bond to answer the charges found liy the
.Grand Jury of tills county, and are at lib
erty. Tallman, the New York detective
that came so near kidnapping West under
a requisition from New York, has retuined,
fully convinced that he has been euchred
out of his prisoner.
FOSTER BLODGETT,
Though under indictments for Forgery,
Larceny after Trust, Embezzlement, and
Cheating and Swindling, has succeeded in
getting his bond reduced from 817,000 to
! 15,000 and is out on bail, John L. Conley
and Wallace Rhodes being his bondsmen;
aud has promised his old associates and
employers to keep his mouth shut for the
present. This spoils tho biggest sensation
that has been in onr grasp since the day
of Bullock’s hegira
about the new capital.
Atlanta, since the failure of the last Con
stitutional Convention movement, is pre
paring in earnest for tho building of a new
Capital. It will be remembered that the
city donated tho lot now used for a City
Hail and Court-house to the State and the
State has accepted it. It will become neces
sary when the State concludes to build a
new Capital, for the city and county to
procure a new building for their official and
judicial purposes. It u promised that
Atlanta will bay the present Capital aud
use it for t hose purposes. The city already
has 8180,000 interest in the building It is
probable that the next Legislature will
make provision for the building of a new
Capitol
TOE GUBERNATORIAL OUTLOOK.
The publication of Smith’s card withdraw
ing from the race, threw politics into such
GEORGIA.
FROM MOUNTAIN TO SEABOARD.
Foster Blodgett, while cavorting through
his native State, was arrested in Augusta
last week and carried to Atlanta. His Con
ley pardon was decided to be illegal but he
was released on bail. He came to Georgia
to lie arrested it is affirmed, and will, perhaps,
a tail unfold which will harrow many a noble
soul and freeze the blue blood of some of
Georgia’s autocrats.
A prize fight in Savannnli resulted in the
death of one of the disputants.
Augusta is grappling with a new factory,
as a last hope.
Daniel Ilabney, Esq., of Cobb county,
is dead.
The Rome Commercial has fallen into
the voluptuous arms of the Courier.
The rumor that Prof. Gober, of Marietta,
is engaged, has turned out false. The Prof,
is only keeping a sharp look out, that’s all.
Cobb county has a gold mine.
The Georgia press is sustaining Bayard.
Rockdale county is developing her Sunday
day school interest. Jno. H. James will
probably be on hand at the celebration to
hear the children sing, you know.
Lott Warren, Esq., is memorial orator in
Americus. Lott will make an excellent
improratu address.
Cowotta negroes still move to Mississippi.
A photographer is sketching around
Waynesboro.
Burke county is writhing under the dis
cussion as to the number of eggs a healthy
hen can set upon. If the hen should show
no disposition to spread herself, we would
recommend that a keg be filled with eggs and
the hen placed upon the bung-hole. How
ever, we have no time to brood over this
question.
Cartersville men shoot marbles. Willing
ham can beat any ninn in Bartow county in
playing “ knucks.”
Moody will visit Savannah soon. The
villiage is alreadv too Sank(ev)tified to need
his associate. \Ve hope good work will lie
wrought during the meeting of the press
convention.
Cornelius Willingham wants to know
what as ecru l ire. Ecru means unwashed.
We refer Cornelius to his shirt collar for
further explanation ot the term.
Bartow county has struck copper ore.
Elbert county don’t seem to be a healthy
pla -e for grauges.
400 tons of fertilizers sold in Elbert coun
ty this year, and still they aren’t happy,
If all of our country exchanges abounded
in as much local iiews as the Elberlon
Gazette we wouldn’t mind building op our
column, "From Mountain to Seaboard."
Mrs. Selina ,\. Few, relict of the late
Rev. Ignatius A. Few, the first President of
Emory Colbge, died in Decatur last Friday,
aged over 82 years.
Mr. Alexander J. Lawton, father of Gen.
A. R. Lawton, died in Savannah on Satur
day morning last.
Col. Randall has an awful attack ot
spring fever. Friday’s Constitutionalist
has exactly twenty-three lines of editorial,
or Jth column.
Whittle and Bliss, the great revivalists,
are kicking up quite a spiritual dust in Au
gusts.
Shoe manufacturing is now extensively
carried on in Carnesville.
Hon. Wm. F. Bowers, of Bnwersville,
says the Gazette, is n goaheadative man.
Like the man taking (hie) one more look
(hie) at the “ wolf,” Elhert county is going
in for a little more cotton.
As a general rule, we would advise the
Griffin New* to begin a man’s name with a
capital letter. However, we shall not try
to make a capital of the “bantam’s” mis
takes.
We are now desperately prizing that
scantling from onr eye, and so soon as it is
accomplished, won’t we dash into Oglesby
little motes with a vengeance?
There is a certain fascination about smote
houses and corn cribs which a Randolph
county thief can’t resist.
Epizooty is raging in Gainesville.
