Thoir agents peuctrate every department of fiiuxtii'e and commerce,and spread their wily mc-MheM to entrap aud control through the force of consolidation. What is the remedy for this evil? Have our public men become commodities to bo bought und exchanged ? Can we not avert this tide of villiuny in low and high places?

The Charades at the Masonic Hall Thunsluy and Friday nights, for the benefit of the Good Teinplant, were a decided success. The parts were well taken, und not a tew displayed a skill i for low ouiueily that uould Imve done honor t.< more practiced amateurs. Indeed we would lik to see our youug gentlem* u and ladies engage m this cu rciae to a greater extent, and ther by not only s bum** and iirntruct, but cultivate and ! develop a taste for comedy and tragedy. Among the most notable of the puces presented "ii Friday night was Tr*;< ions Tickle," wilh an appropriate coat of characters illustrating com ical oddities, and laughable absurdities. The characters iu “Treciou* Ticklo" were Misses Martin, Dennis, Downs, Moyer, Spain and Walker. ••Crowding Awfully," a song, was well ren dered by W. K Mumlord. The great moral drama,“The Loaf," with W. E. Mumlord as Murk Ashton, J. F. Walker as ( leb Hanson, J. L. Dennis as Harry Hanson. K. D. Persou* as Dick Bustle, Frank Bacon as Tom Chubb*, Mms Nelia Downs as Lilly Ash ton, Miss Fannie Walk* r us Kate Ashton, Miss Genic Dcunis as Tatty Join s, was }>erlonued throughout with pcrlect ease, and an iveuuss that was instructive white it was most j holoinu. Tbe character ol the demon ol intem | pciaiico was most powerfully illustrated iu the I rendition ot Mr. Mamford, and lie; nior. l I conveyed should bo treasured by tin* young and | over trusting. Dallying with the liquid demon I when the yean* are fair, and lih 'k prospects set bright before you, may seem tut enticing pas time; but remember the la to of Mark Asht on, the successive stages through which he passed, ami as you love life and its innocent pleasures, beware w hat recognition yon give to the bale ful flashing ol the enchanted cup. The solo and chorus, ‘'My Dear Old Sunny Home," whose rendition by Trot. Wright, was so pleasing, received scvenil encores. In the comic song, “TfctePliellow that Looks Like Me," NY. E. Mumlord was most natural, and displayed no less a talent tor the comical than for amateur minstrelsy. The historical charade “Divorce of Josephine,’ with If. C. Brown, us Napoleon, was well pre sented with pro|**r scenic effect. Miss Moyir was grand aud bountiful us Josephine, accep ting the tint of her imperial master, with queen ly resignation. The music for the occasion was furnished by Mm. Vandonberg, and added very much to the entertainment. Fine audieneos were present both nights, and doubtless have felt themselves doubly repaid by witnessing such an exhibition of histrionie talent in our town. Immigration. Virginia has just passed an act to encourage Immigration, which provides for the publi cation of a document setting fourth the climate*, noils, resources, uud mineral wealth of the State, to gether w ith other matters aft* cling the social and domestic economy of the citizen. Now if a similar document were published for Georgia, with appended propositions for the letting oi lamli on long credits, by our lauded proprietors, the result would very sensibly affect the solution of this important question.

' Being invitwl by ant friend Dunham,of Elgin. Illinois, to visit the various stable* of Paris, we | took u cab with him, one morning, this week, und have been riding several dayß,h*oking at the magnificent styles of French horses, the Perche ron aiid Nonuan, famous the world over for | their beauty, durability and strength. We have I well every Stable in tire city, and we cun safely ! M*y we have never witnessed such a magnificent collection of horse* in our life. The last stubles visited, probably contain 600 of these blooded i animals. I hey are worked to omnibuses, carts, wagons. Ac, It is not our object to give more than an idea j of the appearance, qualities and value of the re ! iqiective br. ed* mentioned above. These two i are considered the most valuable in France if not iu Europe, for heavy work aud breeding. Tin* P rcherou, cream color, compact body, trim legs, fine head and eyes, long flowing mane, is not generally so large an animal os his rival, i the Norman horse. But he is a capital animal, j nevertheless, if he does, at times, show an in corrigible temper. Ike mares ot this breed are regarded as excellent ter brood purposes and 1 sell from $l6O to SOOO iu gold. I But wc must candidly confess our admiration •if the Norman horse. Like the famous Bean ; cepbelus, he towers in beauty and grandeur by the side of all other horses in France. Wheth er on the battlefield, amid the din of musketry | and bursting of shell, or at homo pursuing kis daily routine of business, bearing heavy burdens i to market or plowing in the field, the Norman must continue to be regarded the embodiment of all that is useful and valuable in a horse. I In color, the Norman is a dapple gny; heavy : frame, bon w large aud limbs muscular; a well j formed head, large penetrating eyes and long heavy mane and tail; very wide powerful front; ' measuring often lb to 174 hands high and weigh ing from I,fX)O to 2,000 lbs. Mr. Dunham bought one, weighing 1800 pound* for S6OO in gold. Very choice stallions bring even higher prices, SBOO to SI,OOO iu gold having been real ized this season for choice fancy stock. Like the Perch* roll, the Norman i* possessed of a re markable degree of inUlligcne. They under stand French aud move when you say (morder) get OU. All horses in Paris arc stallions ami not at all j vicious They work as docile to a cart or dray, as aw ll broke mule in Georgia. Walking by j the “Grand Opera," to-day, we witnessed sof these noble horses thawing heavy blocks of j granite, tandem stile that wonld have weighed 10,000 pounds. It is not an nueninmon sight to | see one horse pulling 3,(XX) to 4,000 pounds on a dray. j Chartres, 47 miles sonthwesi from this city i* | the center of the great horse mart, where agents are employed in the surrounding country to buy I np from tfie farms, ail surtdu* stock. Many of the most costly Tercheron ami Norman stallion* and mares are shipped from Chartres to Paris to the large horse dealer*. They are thou offered to English and American traders, who pay the extra per cent, or com missions to the shrewd jockey Frenchman. Havre is tbe shipping port tor America. We shall not trouble our readers w-itli a din ner wc made at the chateau of one of the great horse lords of Paris, who has saved enough, we should think, to retire from the business. J. B. G.

ALSO, FOR SALE CT TIME FOR COTTON CR tUFFEICY! To the Consumers of Fertilizers• It is now an admitted fact, established and confirmed by many years’ experience in the n*e el Soluble Pacific Guauo, that an ordinary application to Cotton and Corn increases the yield to double the production of the same soil unfertiliz* and. This statement is in no wise exaggerated; on I the contrary, the results more frequently exceed than fall short of the above increase. Ihe importance ol an agency which thus increases the products of hired labor cannot be o*r* j estimated. It is an agency which makes two bales of Cotton and two hatreds of Com grow where one grew before. it is an agency which makes the labor of one man equal to the labor of two. It is an agency which make on*- acre, under cultivation equal to tiro acres. It is an agency which, it w:T be found by fair calculation, pays the conunoer, with cotton at I present or even lower price, three to five dollars back tor every dollar invented, and this within period ot eight months time. The above statements are not mere assertions, but are verified by more than seven years expe rience, and are testified to by thousands of farmers and planters throughout the Middle and South ern States. II it be true, as stated, that the crop is doubled by the use of this Guano, let ns see what the Per-Centum of Profit is when applied to cotton, puttiug the price of eott-on at 17 cents per pound. Planters often wjr they hav- made 100 per cent, because the Guano hits doubhd the crop. This is a mistake-, it i’ much more than a profit ot 100 pe r cent, on the money invested. Let us calculate profit. To arrive at Hie per cent, of profit on an investment, th net cost must be divided into the net gain. Now if an acre of ground will produce 150 pounds lint cotton i without Soluble Pacific Guano, and will produce 300 pounds by the use of 200 pounds Soluble Pacific Guano, then the increase from the use ol the Guano is 150 pounds lint cotton, the cost of which is the money \ lue of 200 pounds Guano. Hence, if we deduct the cost of the Guano from I t . ht ' ' alu . e °* 1-30 {Founds cotton produced by it, we lave the net gain from its use; then, if we divide tbs cost ot the 2t>o pounds Guano into the net gain, we get the exact per cent, of profit- I'hus: r Oue hundred and fifty pounds lint Cotton, net gain from use of 200 pounds Soluble Pacific Guano, at 17 cents per pound, $25,50- 300 pounds cotton seed, also net gain, 2.&0. 1 $28.00. Deduct cost of 200 pounds Soluble Pacific Guano, cash price in Columbus. Ga. $56 per ton 5 GO. Jet Profit ”*-22.40. Now divide $5.60 net cost into *22.40 net gain, and the result is 400, w hich is 400 per cent. In I other words, lor every dollar thus invested, five dollars are received in turn, one of which is the original investment and lour are clear profit, thus being four for one, w hich is 400 per cent. Is not this a fair and correct showing? It not, where is the error? Now, if it be true to one-bnlf S nth ° Te '‘ ltent ’ Solut)le Pacific Guano is an agency ot the highest value to the agriculture of the the large fixed capital invested by this Company in this business furnishes the best guarantee of continued excellence.
