We heard a young man of thi* place, the other day, descanting Ofl the beauty and magnificence of the Geor¬ gia R. R. “culbert.” We mildly told him it was culvert. He accepted the correc¬ tion with thanks, and in the spirit in which it was made. He is an educated gentlemen, but, like the rest of us, is liable to err. I have jotted the above to show how much one friend can improve another and the importance of association, also, the frivolity of oversensitiveness.— Some persons we would not have corrected they would have become highly offended, AVe gently reminded him for his good, and he accepted it with gratitude and cheerful¬ ness. Thus little by little our stock of knowledge aceumtnuiates ; first a speck, then a ball, then a hugb mass, finally a gigantic and symmetric whole. »*»### At a meeting of the embryo military company last week the following commit tees were appointed: Committee on uniform< Capt J.

We made our first visit there the other after, noon. It is useless to speak of the beauty and grandeur of her bui dings and location. That is well known far and near. As we stood in and beheld magnificent Seney Hall, of our jovial companions, under the inspi¬ ration of classic scenes, classic shades, and clas¬ sic surroundings, grew suddenly eloquent and philanthropic. “Srney Hall ! Seney Hall !" said he, “the princely gift of the magnanimous George I. Seney. Don’t you all love him ?” There was a smile from our chaperon, a young Covingtonite, a former student of Emory.— That smile meant much for Mr. Seney, “I wish I was rich,” continued our boon com¬ panion, “ how. many colleges t would endow, and thus set a worthy example and go down to posterity as a benefactor of rny race.” We found the learned president, Dr. I. S. Hopkins, superintending the work of Emory’s technological department, in person. We saw, heard, and imagined many, many things, but time and space forbid further notice. It is true It happene l not a thousand ag* We were at the house of the lady —a cultured, social, vivacious, and dapper she rel ited the circum¬ about this w iy : She has a “solemn lemn” looking piece of human flesh fora husband. He is chockful! of sly slick fun, nevertheless. All husbands like to tease their wives especially just after marriage. And this is the way the said husband play¬ ed it on said wife—that is, it is one of the many coyly mischief things he did: It was in the pulmly balmy days of the past, when southern girls reposed in luxuriance, and had, therefore, very little knowledge to how to run a household. Ary how the pater mildly asked for hogshead and turnips for breakfast. The mater, in her egerness to please her “liege lord,” resolved to do so. It was found to be a big task. Ergo a wash pot was pro¬ cured in which to boil the turnips and hogshead. In two days they were ready. were put upon the breakfast table. — You can imagine the surprise, the chagrin of the husband, as he, in company with a crowd of boarders, on that memorable morning, came in to partake of said break¬ fast. The modest wife was somewhat set back when apprised of the error, but a good-natured silvery-haired boarder came to her rescue by saying he was ‘‘fond of turnips and hogshead,” and, acting on that, he partook heartily of the feast. Said hogshead had all of'its natural characteristics, and, to make it more at¬ tractive, comely, palatable, and estheti cally pandering, the tasty mistress had given it some artistic touches. A beauti¬ ful redapple was in its abyssful mouth. “Ye scribe” could not refrain the observ¬ ation, “you ought to have put a rose bud in each of its gushingly tid-bitty ears." A smile from the group, and she cut us off by saying that it was in the period of wintry weather. A likely daughter of bet s sitting hard by,caught up the strain, and facetiously remarked “a sunflower would have lent enchantment to the scene." Here the curtains closed. Fare¬ well hogshead and turnips. The above may or may not have occurred in Coving. ton. We return thanks to our esteemed co temporary, Col. R. F.

The elegant hall, at this place, known as “Music Hall, * is now ready for use. It is a product of the generosity of Col. A. )5. Simms, and was designed and built by that excellent con¬ tractor—Capt. H. Padgett, It is a beautiful building, an ornament an! honor to the town, a fit and lasting monument to the magnanimous gentleman who had it built, and a visible, tangible volume of praise to the contractor who conceived the plan and carried it into executi n. The hall has a seating capacity of 500 or 600, is well furnished with comfortable opera chairs, and is well provided with heating, ventilating, and lighting capacity. A special feature of this, as of al! opera halls —is the stage, which has been tastily and artis¬ tically arranged by Mr. Howland. It is arrang¬ ed in this style : The drop curtain, which represents some ro¬ mantic or historic view, with rich and elaborate drapery and gold frame. Then there are four rich and elaborate scenes which are delightful to the eye and elevating to behold. They are in order: The parlor scene, which has double centre doors and rich panel effects of damask and gold. This scene is used for all fine inter¬ iors. The kitchen scene, which has a rustic in¬ terior, with a door and double window, This is one of the most useful scenes. The street scene, which is a view in perspective of a street. This is made composite, and will answer for the plays of almost any period. The last is the wood scene, which is quite beautiful, showing true to nature a leafy wood with pathway leading through. All the above scenes have beautiful wings to correspond and supplement the main scenery. dedicated Last Saturday sight the hall was and formally opened. Mr. Padgett exhibited and described the scenery, after which appro priate short speeches were made by our worthy mayor, Capt. James M. Pace, Capt, John B, Davis, and CoL Emmett Womack, who lavish¬ ed deserved praise upon Mr. Padgett and CoL Simms, and heartily congratulated the town having such “a thing of beauty. ” upon Prof. J. L. The finale was the introduction of Jones, of Columbia, S. C., a former resident of this place. Prof. Jones made the occasion de leclable by a witty, humorous, instructive, and highly-relished speech, after which the crowd dispersed with the assurance that the hall would be christened at an early day by a first class mus icaie. The railroad commission bill failed on its passage in the house to receive the requisite constitutional majority of 88, the vote being 83 to?77. So the bill is lost, and the railroad commission law stands like it was before. Last Thursday the great city of London had a big fire, which destroyed a large block of eight-story buildings, with mostof their contents, The loss is estimated at about $15,000,00ft But then that was not much of a loss for London, though it would have put us to considerable incon¬ venience, now that winter is so near upon us. Mrs. S. D. Hight, wife of Mr, Stephen D Hight, died at her home, near Coving¬ ton on last Sunday morning, of conges¬ tive chill. Mrs. Hight was the daughter of Elder Joel Colley, a prominent Primi¬ tive Baptist minister, and was about w years of age. She was a member of Cov¬ ington Baptist church, a kind and affec¬ tionate wife and mother, and was highly esteemed by all who knew her. In the Meshes of Love The following is a love letter written by a young man, while stopping, in Covington, to his dulcina : Miss : The knowledge comes to me of your ap proaching marriage, and upon the heels of this statement it behooves me to inform you as to the source of my information, which I assume is from no less authority than yourself, your Aunt having so far violated your confidence as to show me your letter of recent date, in which you ad¬ mit the above fact. Blame her not, let her friendship and interest for us both plead in ex¬ tenuation of her fault, if it be a fault. From certain statements in it, personal to myself, I desire now, ere the vows and obligations inciden tal to the altar, shall have shocked your freedom ; and, while you still bear your maiden name—a name at the mention of which my pulse has ever quickened and my heart has always thrilled, to address to you the last letter, perhaps—that you will ever receive from my unworthy self! I read your letter with mingled feelings of pain and pleasure. I can never tell you the intensity of these varied emotions as they surged through my soul. Over and above all, memory arose and carried me back over the shifting sands of life to a September evening one year ago, when, af¬ ter a brief association, at parting you pinned a white rose to my button hole, and bade me to not forget you. How well I have observed that admonition ask the silent stars to which at mid¬ night’s hour I breathed your name, with the hope that no evil ones would ever halt above your head. Ask the angels whom I besought so earnestly to guard your young life that me thought I could almost hear the nestle of their wings. Ask the spirits who watched by my restless corner, how often in my dreams they heard me breathe your name. Take from my life the hopes that are elegant of you and then you will know that I have not been faithless to your memory. At last, as a reward for my unalterable affection, 1 am allowed the pleasure, at this late late hour, of knowing that while your heart is mine, your hand is bestowed upon another. Alas, that such happiness is mine—a happiness in which hope lies fluttering at my feet with a broken wing wounded unto death. Oh ! unpropitious fate, I bow to thy decree, and, as the forest oak ever leans in the direction the hurrkan’s breath has taken, so will my heart incline to the cause of a joy that vanished in the hour of its birth. Why, during all these years, have you been silent. Why did you give me no sign, leaving me to discover by accident that which I should have known ere you pledged your hand and mortgaged your rebellious heart ? Perhaps, it were better that I should have never known, for the knowledge of your love can only come to me in the bitterness the prisoner feels when he looks at the glad laughing sunlight beyond his bars and knows that this doom is fixed and that on his limbs is the weight of irons. In all the shifting scenes of life, then often, methinks, a gloomy spectre will menace my steps, and with bony finger and ghastly smile point to that bourne and shoreless land, “the might have been.” But ’tis idle now for me to regret ; the seal of our destiny is set ; other hands now claim your heart’s allegiance. I hope others may bloom for mine. Let us forget that in the lot¬ tery of fate our hearts were pained ; let us in one common grave bury our dead love. Plant the ivy besprinkled with with our com¬ mingled tears, above its ashes and turning face tbe world ressolved to live the best that circumstances will allow. O’er this open grave I offer you the parting hand, knowing full well that when we shall meet again the careless freedom, the joyous lightheartness from youths, will have passed from us forever. Henceforth your kingdom will be your own and your empire your household; and I know you will adorn both stations with all that queenly grace that characterized your girlhood. If you are happy, the world will know but little of you in tire fu ture. In the warp and woof which go to make up the sum of human lives, the beautiful skies altove, are those over which we weep, and revo¬ lutions make our histories, and sorrows indite onr loveliest poems. In proportion then as you are happy will you be forgotten by that social world in which you so long moved as one of its fairest queens. Now I offer you my hand in a long and a last farewell. I go back to the world which I have left for one brief hour to live in memory again the time when, as youths and maidens, with united hearts and locked hands we roamed the desired fields of love together. I go, leaving the dead dreams to the dead past that gave them issue. The vision of a fair young face, crowned with a wreath of raven hair, will accompany me through the heat and burden of many a day to come, and float through my dreams long after my memory is dead to you. One Bottle Instead of a Dozen. “And it took only one bottle to do it," said a gentleman, speaking of Parker's Hair Balsam. I had a run of fever, and when I got well of that my hair began to full out so fast as to alarm me. I really didn’t know what to do, until one day a friend said, “Try Parker’s Hair Balsam.— This was some months ago. What sur¬ prised tne was the fact that one bottle was enough.
