The German Lutherans of Atlanta have for some

Bslldlag sad Improvements.
Work on the nsw Catholic charch is progressing in
a satisfactory manner, and the prospect of enjoying st
an early day the use of tbe finest house of worship in
the city most be gratifying to the members of the
Charch and friends of the denomination.
A number of large and substantial residences are
being erected on Marietta and Washington streets.
The magnificent residence of Mr. S, M. Inman, on
Forsyth street is now roaring its bead, an
ornament and attraction to the western portion of the
city. One of the principal points in this building is
observatory, which is of sufficient height to over
look the entire city.
Bat a few days ago the ground was broken for the
base of a commodious building for General Austell
on the corner of Pryor and Line streets, in the rear
of the house now occupied by Messrs. A. C. A *B. F.
Wyly, and at this time tbe brick work, under the su
pervision of Captain Castleberry, is being rapidly
executed.
Alderman Morris, yesterday, moved into his new
building on ths corner of Garnett and Peters street.
The house which has just been completed is supplied
with every modern appointment, and reflects credit
on Captain Fay, the architect, Mr. John Stephens, who
executed the wood work, Mr. B. Prince, whe perform
ed the brick work, and all others whose skill brought'
ths new Alderman’s permanent future borne Into e
intense.
The building of Gspt. Henry Jackson, on the corner
of Alabama and Pryor streets, is rapidly approaching
completion. Being in the central portion of tho city
it wlU doubtlese be occupied by a wholesale firm, as
they are steadily concentrating in tbe heart of tbe
city.
These are but a few of tbe many banding Improve
ments now under process of construction in Atlanta,
and we shall notice others from time to time in order
to show that the spirit of enterprise, lor which Atlanta
la famous, has undergone no abatement whatever
On the contrary, the bouae, now beiag erected are of

the city.
thing more important than the host of lovely girls for
whom Monroe county was always noted, and wnich
has acquired for her tb6 banner county of the State.
No longer than yesterday a representative of this
class was present in Atlanta, and taking her as a fair
specimen of Monroe county girls, we would suggest
the propriety of a number of our own young men go
ing down and looking ont for themselvea. It is rarely
that a prettier young lady graces the Gate City with
her presence, than the one now under consideration-
or else ho might have mistaken it for tho first avmt
courier of a meteoric shower, aud was in the act of
dodging when the police discovered the irregularity
of his motion. The Conrt sent him down to Barry to
attract his attention from astronomy to geological in
vestigations.
Charles Miller, ono of tho last of the Millerites,
came in minus a shirt collar, and his coat buttoned up
a la militaire. (Do you expect a man to have a thou
sand shirts?) Charles sported a heavy mustache-
golden in tbe sun and auburn in the Bbade. Ho got
drunk nnder a false impression that it *ras his birth
day. and very naturally, begau to think of his far
away sweetheart. The police oaibraced him as he was
singing—
"We parted by the gates in June.
That soft and balmy month.
Beneath the sweetly beaming moon,
And (wonth—bunth—snnth—bunth— I
can’t find a rhyme to month.)
Years were to pass ere we should meet;
A wide and yawning gulf
Divides me from my lov« so sweet,
While (ulf—sulf—mulf—dulf—stuck again;
I can’t get any rhyme to gulf. I'm iu s gulf myself j
Oh ! how I dread in my soul
To part from my,sweet nymph,
While years should their long seasons roll.
Before (hympb—dymph—syroph—I guess
I’ll have to l6t it go at that.)
Beneath my fortune’s stern decree
My lonely spirits sunk,
For I a weary soul should be
And a(bunk—dunk—ruDk—sk—That'll
never do in the world.)"
The court furnished the rhyme for Charles by sug
gesting "drunk,” and he appeared relieved. Ten.
Joe Huff took on a periodical fit of being disagreea
ble, and went off in a great "huff," at some remarks
made by a fellow-laborer. A quiet investigation re
sulted in Joe’s having to "huff it” for ten and costs to

Oliver Wendell Heard had boen hearing something
which somebody had been saying about him, aud he
got up such a fuss in his barber shop that the whole
neighborhood heard it If be pays ten dollars he
will hear no more of it If he docs not—“you heard

Amanda Dougherty is the mother of s very small
child, but with most powerful lungs. An adjoining
room is occupied by Miss Jane Gardner, who, though
of the black and tan variety, is apparently as
nervous, and has as much disgust for babies as old
maids in general have, and for the young Dougherty
In particular. Sbe remonstrated with Manda for al
lowing her child to cry so, and used some not very
complimentary remarks towards babies in general, and
Manda's in special;
"Do yon think, if I’d a baby,
That I’d let him pull my hair ?
Do you think I’d put on collars
Just for him to aoil and tear ?
Do you think I’d call it pretty
Wnen he bit his little toe ?
Yet X have known some silly mothers
With their babies do just so.
Do you think I’d set himcryiDg.
Just to see his cunning frown ?
Do you think I’d set him ws king.
Just to see him tumnle down ?
Would I call my baby pretty
When he’d neither teeth nor hair?
Yet I know some silly mothers
Think their babies wonderousfair."
This drew down the fury of Manda upon Jane’s
head, and the result was the latter received s good
beating. Because she carried the baby in her arms,
and appeared unable to pay the usual fine, she got off
with costs.
Tbe Conrt then adjourned to enter complaint against
the Street Committee in relation to a nuisance in its
neighborhood.

his lap, and deposited a tureen of mashed potatoes on

THE QUEEN CITY OF MIDDLE GEORGIA—HEB IMPROVE
MENTS—H*B_PBISENT CONDITION AND
FUTURE PROSPECTS.
On a recent vi*it of an attache of the Herald to
Forsyth, Georgia, he was fully impressed with the
importance of thia moBt flourishing little city of Mid
dle Georgia. Before the war Forsyth w*3 one of the
best markets in that whole section, both for merchan
dise and cotton. Its merchants are composed of tome
of the most substantial and business men to be found
anywhorc, while the Immediate country surrounding
is and has always been as good as any section or the
State.
Since the war, Forsyth Las, unlike most of the older
towns, taken, as it were, a new leace ou life. Her
population has increased immensely, and her business
has exceeded the bounds of all reason, when her
proximity to Macon and other larger places are taken
into consideration.
The beat evidence of the solidity of her merchants,
perhaps, consists in the fact that her business men
are always besieged with "drummers" from nearly
every city in the Union with offers and importunities
to sell and to give as ranch time as they wanted. The
wholesale merchants of Atlanta well know this fact,
and hundreds of thousands of dollars have flowed
from her merchants to pay for goods purchased In this
city.
Forsyth is in Monroe county, on the Macon and
Western Railroad. This county is famous all over the
State for being the birth place of some of our present
os well as dead public men, and many of the leading
lawyers and politicians of the State, including the
present Governor, and Barney, oi tho Herald, were
either born in that county, or baro resided there a
portion of their lives.
A very severe fire some lime ago burnt a large por
tion of the town of Forsyth, and thousands of dollars
were lost. Her people did not ait down to despair at
their misfortunes, but imitating the go-ahead exam
ple of their b|g neighbor, Atlanta, at once set to work
to repair the loss. With what success, s visitor
there st the present can judge. •
Among the many good substantial bnalness houses
now under course of construction in that place. Is a
Urge plaining and saw mill which is being erected by
Messrs. Willingham k Dunn. B. Pye k Son are erect
ing four brick stores, besidss a large nnd commodious
brick hotel. Mrs. Morse is having two stores erected.
Col. Jeff Hogan is putting up a store; F. O. Mayes, B.
M. Hatborn, Bramlett k Bro., aro all erecting good
•tore houses, and W. W. Anderson is putting up two.
Besides those, there are a great many private resi
dences in course of construct ion, and old ones are be
ing repaired. Tbe people generally are In good spirit*
and bopefnl of a fine trade the coming season.
Superior Court is in session this week, and the
docket is very heavy. Captain Tom Cabaniss is the
very efficient Solic;or General, and is one of the rising
young lawyers of Georgia. Colonel A. D. Hammond is
well known all over tbe State as one of her best attor-
neys.and it is said there is never s case on tbe docket
but that he is either on one side or the other.
Belli farther, Forsyth has one of the best weekly pa
pers in the South, and for its coming we suppose sev
eral thousand eager subscribers weekly look. This is
accounted for, to s great extent, from the fact that Its
chief pilot is a live Alabama boy, who never eat any
dirt in his life, and always kept his nose clean while at
school. Bill Stone knows exactly what sort of a paper
Forsyth needs, and he goea to great pains to fill the
bill.
There aro various other points where our attache
stuck a pin down, but dees not now remember any-
The Dominoe Ball at Indian springs, on Tuesday

Health Matters.
NOTABLY SMALL MORTALITY FOR THE PAST WEEK—ONLY
FIVE WHITES AND ELEVEN COLORED—MEETING
OF THE HEALTH BOARD TO-DAY.
As will be seen from tbe annexed report of the
Sexton to the cfficientCliairman of the Board of Health,
Dr. Pinckney, the mortality in Atlanta for the week
ending yesterday evening wa3 only sixteen, which is
so small a number that we may conclude the "summer
season ” of sickness and death is over. There were
only five deaths of white persons, including ono
adult; while eleven colored persons were carried off.
A® usual, although our negro population is considera
bly smaller than the white, tho former show more
than double the number of deaths.
The following is the report:

MEETING OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH.
The regular meeting of the Board of Health will be
held this evening at half-past three o’clock, in the
Recorder’s Court room.
Meeting of tlae Board of Water Commis
sioners—Interesting Reports.
The Board of Water Commissioners mot at the Recor
der’s Court room last night at o’clock.
President Anthony Murphy presided.
There were present: Messrs. Murphy, Adair, Dun
ning, Toy, Terry, Hammond and Redwine.
The minutes of tbe previous mooting were read aud
adopted.
Mr. Ketchum’s report of the amount of water fur
nished by South river. He estimates that the two
streams which unite to form South river will furnish
exceeding 350,000 gallons every tw, nty-four hours.
The report was received.
Mr. Ketchum’s report as to the coat of wells was read
and received. He estimates that If wells will furnish
a sufficient quantity of water, it c*u bo furnished for
$13,000. This he recommended some time ago if
piactioable—but aftorwards withdrew his recommen
dation on account of the foimation here, and haves it
with the Board for experiment. Mr. Ketchum’s report
of tha cost of furnishing 1,500,000 gallons of water
dally, respectively from South River, from Peachtree
Creek, and from the Chattahoochee, also the cost of
furnishing 3.000,000 gallons daily from tho Chatta
hoochee.
From South River, with two miles of distributing
main, 45 hydrants and means of filling cisterns at a
distance from fire hydrants, $255,000. This includes
all expenses necessary to the introduction of that
amount of water.
Total approximate estimate from Peachtree Creek,
same amount of water, $280,000.
From Chattahoochee River, same number of gallons,
$445,000. For 3.000,000 gallons, $615,000.
He recommends the South River water ou account
of its quality and its economy iu point of construc
tion.
President Murphy thought the iron could bo bought
cheaper—that the estimates of coat wero all too high.
On motion tho report was received and placed on
file.
Dr. Redwine made some remarks relative to the re
port of tbe engineer. He advocated tbo South river
plan—favored reporting this plan to tho Council and
get their permission to go to work, aud an assurance
from the Council that they will issue tho bonds. It
would take about $300,000 in bonds to bring tho wa'er
from South river.
Of course if the well system was practicable and
cheaper it would bo adopted. He did not believe the
well system practicable for maDy reasons.
Thought it was time to go forward ; was willing to
experiment ou the well system if thought advisable,
but had no faith >n it. Col. Adair was always ready to
meet any issue fairly aud squarely; concorded with
Dr. Redwine; was ready for action; had been investi
gating for the past six months; saw water works at
various places; Atlanta needs water works to furnish
water for fire, eaaitary and other purposes.
Moat of the upper stories of buildings in the city
were now perfectly valueless, on account oi the want
of water facilities. The cisterns could bo filled for
from $75,000 to $125,000, but we want more water
than that. In case of a general fire, the cisterns
would be exhausted in twenty miumes, and the city
would be destroyed. Was willing to ask Council to is
sue $300,000 in bonds, and then go to work and expend
it honestly in the erection of water works.
Col. J. A. Stewart made a few remarks by way of
apology for his presence. Was always willing to learn.
Felt no disposition to dictate. Did not know when he
made his remarks on ’ChaDge that the well system
was then under consideration. The well system work
ed so well at Rome that he wanted Atlanta to receive
similar benefits. Was a water works man
even if they bad to go to tho Chattahoochee river. An
experiment on the well system would not cost any
great deal.
Mayor Hammock was glad that Colonel Stewart
present.
Dr. Redwine moved that a committee of three be
appointed to go before Council at a regular or special
meeting, and lay before them the report of A. R.
Ketchum, engineer, and ask that tbo bonds be issued
to the amount of $300,000, to be used iu tbe construc
tion of waterworks.
Col. Adair seconded the motion.
Judge Dunning made some remarks on the subject
He wanted the Council to issue the bonds, aud the
Commissioners would take care of the contracts. Ibis
farce of asking the Council’s permission to make con
tracts had been repeated too often.
Dr. Redwine thought tbe Council would issue tbe
bonds. Ho wanted to know whether they would
not. If they would not, he, for one, would go beforo
the people, and see that those who oppose it do not get
back into the Council.
Colonel Adair thought Dr. Redwine’s motion
right Courtesy was a cheap commodity, and ho
wanted the Couucil aud everybody else to know what
they were about.
Mayor Hammock thought water works were a neces
sity— wa9 not afraid to go before the people—was sat
isfied that the Council wou’d issue the bonds by a
very decided majority.
President Murphy thought there would bo no diffi
culty about Council issuing the bonds.
The resolution was adopted, and Dr. Redwine, Judge
Dunning and Colonel Adair were appointed as the
committee.
On motion tue Board adjourned.

TLe Brown House head* our list of cards there.
Thia house enjoys the reputation of being ths best

in which they all acquitted themselvea. Mr. D. P.
Hill, iu announcing the award* of the committee,
made some remarka which were well received. Besides
reading, there wa« also somo splendid
aingiug by the members, which added
greatly to the interest of tho entertainment. This
over, the crowd wore invited to partake of a feast of
good thiugs, consisting of every desirable delicacy.
It is not necessary to add that this was accepted 1a
real earnest, and enjoyed to the full extent of the ca
pacity of the recipients. It was, indeed, a royal
banquet for the little folks, and will be remembered
through maDy distant days. Tbe audience did not
disperse until a late hour. We conclude that the visit
and stay of young representatives from a distance has
been rendered pleasant and agreeable.

At about two o’clock on yesterday afternoon, Mr.

A Young Man Gone West.—Mr. Aaron Haas, of
the well-known firm of Guthmaa k Haas, left Atlanta
last Wednesday evening on a business tour to the
West. He proposes to bring bjek with him the largest
stock of liquors ever seen in Atlanta, so that his firm
may open ths fall campaign with a good supply of am

crowd of gentlemen that can be got together.
A Bad Bereavement.—We deeply regret to learn
of the death of Mrs. Morion Jock, whose funeral took
place in this city yesterday. Sbe had beon ailing for
about three weeks, but no one apprehended a fatal

quaintances. We tender our condolence to her bo
res ved husband and relatives. *
Court of Ordinary.—Judge Pittman is always as
busy as a bee, but lately be has nothing of public In
terest before him.
The Georgia State Lottery.
A BIG INSTITUTION—THIRTY-TWO HUNDRED A DAY.
A person who is not conversant with tbe matter,
would be astonished to know the extent of business
done by the Georgia State Lottery of this place. As
we Btated in the Herald of last Sunday, one gentle
man drew a prize of over $1,000, aud on Tuesday,
over $3,200 were drawn, one combination drawing
$800. Every day from $200 to $5,000 are drawn
sums running from $5 to $5,000. Tho.e aro sixteen
regular vendors of tickets in the city, who
make their living out of this lottery, and one of them
obtains an income that runs as high aa $3,000 per an
num. The sales aro increasing every day, aud the
lottery is widening its circle of customers. Almost
every city and village in Georgia contributes its daily
amount to this Atlanta Institution. It is successful
because Hit fair. The gentlemen who control it art
men of the very highest standing, aud of uuquestion
ed integrity, and above all, tho lottery is in support
of a highly commendable institution—viz: The Or
phans’ Free School.

A HINT TO HOUSEWIVES—How to
Keep Kitchen Ware Clean and Bright.—Ev
ery housewife of neat and tidy habits takes es
pecial delight iu keeping all tbe tin. copper
and iron ware of her kitchen as clean and
bright as painstaking labor can make them.
A pride in this direction is commendable, and
always meets the smiling approval of tho “ty
rant man” who pays the household bills. Re
member that Supolio is the only thing on
earth that will make an old tarnished tin pan
or a rusty kettle shiue as bright as new. And
by the use of Sapolio it is the quickest and
easiest thing in the world to keep every uten •

THE CONTRACT CLOSED AND PAPERS STONED.
We learned late yesterday evening that the contract
for tbe building of tha Roswell Railroad was com
pleted and signed, and that work will begin at once.
Messrs. Grant, Alexander k Co., are the contractors,
and will put tho convicts to work on It next Monday.
This road will be only eight or nine miles In longtb,
and will tap the Air Line Road about ten miles from
tho city.
It will be a narrow guage, and the grading will be
completed in sixty days.
This is one of the magic feats of our euterprising
community.
The road has already been surveyed.
The Hop Last Night.—The pleasant party at the
Kimball last evening, was in keeping with the previ
ous hops heretofore given this season at that place.
At c-acli occurrence of these social festivities, the
guests getting better acquainted, most of those form
alities which usually attend fashionable hops are die
pensed with, aud each strive to make ths evening
pleasant for tbe other and true sociality. The number,
owing to the threatening weather, was not as large as
on last Thursday, but still tbe hall was comfortably
filled.
Prof. O’Hara, the great walkist, will, we under
stand, give a free exhibition at 5 o’clock Saturday
evening at the I'aiade. Mr. O’Hara is on bis way to
the Macon Fair, where he proposes to walk agalust
anybody in the country.

Station House Report.—Only nin

Marshall, No. 4 Alabama street, this morning.
Put Flowers on Your Table.—Set flow
ers ou your table, a whole nosegay, if you
can get it, or but two or three, or a single
flower, a rose, a pink, a daisy. Bring a few
daisies or buttercups from your last field
work, and keep them alive in a little water ;
preserve but a bunch of clover, or a handful
of flowering grass, one of the most elegant
of nature’s productions, and yon have somt>-
thing on your table that reminds yon of God’s
creation, and gives yon a link with the poets
that have done it most honor. Put a rose, or
a lily, or violet on your table, and you and
Lord Bacon have a custom in common, for
this great and wise man was in the habit of
having flowers in season set upon his table,
we believe, morning, noon and night; that is
to say, at all meals, seeing that they were
growing all day. Now here is a fashion that
will last you forever, if you please—never
change with silks, and velvets, and silver
forks, nor be dependant on caprice and chan
ges to give them importance aud a sensation.
Flowers on the morning table are especially
suited to them. They look like the happy
wakening of the creation ; they bring the
breath of nature into your room ; thoy seem
the very representative and embodiment of
the very smiles of your home, the graces of
good morrow.—Leujh Hunt.
Dangers of Tobacco Chewing.—Recently
there was brought into a San Francisco
Court one Annie Welch, a muscular lemale,
charged with attempting to murder her hus
band. His head was broken, he was bruised
up generally, and had evidently been rolled
in the goiter in a very energetic manner.
When the defendant was called on for ex
planation, she described the provocation by
which the wretched man had brought the
trouble upon himself. He was given to the
filthy habit of tobacco chewing, and with the
usual recklessness of persons so depraved, he
permitted the vile juice to soil his shirt
bosom. He had been adorned with clean
linen that very morning, and duly warned
against such carelessness. In five minutes
after Mrs. Welch observed the filthy decoc
tion staining the immaculate shirt front.
This was two much. She seized a rolling-pin
and vigorously reminded him of the duty he
owned to society and public decency. The
Court inflicted a small fine, considering the
aggravation an unbearable one.
Au American writer on English nobility
says that a sensible man will no longer accept
a peerage, being conscious that it will make
him more ridiculous than respected; and an
honest man will not take a title. This is
simply bosh. The writer probaWy got his
information from people who haven’t titles
and hunger after them, and who, therefore,
view the baronial escutcheon as the fox did
the proverbial grapes. Nothing is more sought
after in Great Britain than title, not even
wealth. It is au open sesame to all society,
and there are probably not ten commoners
in the United Kingdom who would decline a
peerage.
The captain of a trading vessel says that
while at Byron’s Island, in the South Pacific,
Rome months since, he saw ilio real Sir Roger
Tichborne, all tattooed from forehead to heel,
and holding rank as chief among the natives.
He could hardly be distinguished as a white
man. Referring to an account of the Ticb-
borue trial, he said to the captain: “I am the
rightful heir to that title aud property, and
all that is here stated in this paper is false.
How can I appear in England to claim my
justrighU? There is no escape from hero.”
Tho deserted homes of New Yorkers who
are off at the beaches are said to be witness
ing some curious scenes during the absence
of their mistresses. Grand houses on Fifth
avenue have been kept up for the benefit of
the servants, and the sounds of many a revel
may be hoard to proceed from drawing
room windows.
The end of war and bloodshed is not yet,
as Colt s Firearms Company has just received
an order for 30,000 pistols. Smith & Wesson
have commenced work upon 20,000 Russian
pistols, and will m&ke about 150 daily.
Prince Napoleon oaks to be reinstated os a
general of division of the French army,as every
goueral who has held a ohief oommaod beforo
the enemy most, from an old law of Franoe,
be retained in position till death. The prince
commanded the Fifth corps in Italy in 1859.
