On Sunday morning, about 5 o’clock, Heu ilerson Dumas, a colored man, discovered smoke issuing from under his house on Cotton Avenue, and on examining it found everything fixed nicely to burn it down. There had bsen stuffed under it a large quantity of inflammable material and it would have soon blazed up had it not been detected so soon. It was, no doubt, tile work of an incendiary. Accident. While Mr. J. L. Shea, the merchant tailor, was riding in hia buggy yesterday morning, the buggy came in contact with a country wagon, which caused the buggy to turn up, throwing Mr. Shea out. Mr. Shea has a erippled leg, which was again injured by the fall. It is sup posed that it was broken. The i'akir ot Ava. A Richmond paper says: Assembly Hall. —The Fakir of Ava opened at the above hall, to one of the largest, if not the very largest audience that ever attended this popular hall, over live hundred people turned away. The pr6ent given were all good, and much belter than are generally given, ilia performance is one calculated to please the masses, and same of his allusions were uewto this city. He opens his budget of novelties and presents again to-night, we understand, the doors will be open at 6:30. The principal pres ent he gives to-night is an elegant gold watch, and every one attending something useful. This magician opens here to-morrow night, December 30. Uussell. Ralston Hall would have been crowded last uight but for the very bad night. The weather was too bad for ladies to come out, still a few lent their presence. The performance consisted of facial delinea tions, imitations, ate., together with songs in character and every day pictures. Knowing that the entertainment is made up from the elasticity of Mr. Russell’s features, the audi ence fix their gaze on his handsome face during the time he is making his introductory remarks, and when they discover a hard-looking face, the skin appearing to be drawn so tightly over the rather prominent cheek bones as to render a smile almost difficult, they seem to distrust his competency to make other than the natural, pleasant face he always carries. But in an in stant the tightly drawn skin seems to take of the elasticity of India rubber, the wrinkles and crow-feet of the old fogy appear as if made by declining years; the freshness and roandness of features of the 6cbool boy; the smooth, cherub face of the maiden—all seem to come aud go as if the separate persons ware before you. Then the voice is as susceptible of inagic likc changes in modulation as his twistiflcable face. The action of the body is in perfect har mony with both face and voice. Thus with face, voice and body trained and adapted to every character he personates, he is the best one-man show in this country. His wardrobe is good, and his music is fine. We seldom have an opportunity of enjoying such excellent entertainments as arc given by Sol, and trust that when he returns to our city ■during the latter part of January next, the weather may become somewhat fair, for, if that •obstacle be surmounted, there is no fear but ■what he will have a rousing house. Am Umbrella Incident. About 2 o'clock yesterday a small crowd gathered aromad a little girl in front of our office, who was crying as if her little heart would break over the losb of a sum of money. With tears coursing down her cheeks she told the following story : She Lad been sent with the money by the Sisters of Mercy to pay a trill at Messrs. Ward A Nelson’s, on Cherry street. Before going there she had to call at the express office, and as shs was going acrass Poplar street she missed tha money. In one hand she held a heavy, closed umbrella and in the other a package, and her hund gcttiig tired she changed the umbrella to tire left one. It was then that she thought she lost it. The poor little thing was inconsolable over the loss. Perhaps she thought her Btory might not be believed. For some time she stood in the mud and wet explaining to the crowd how she lost the money. A gentleman finally came up, and after hearing a recital of her troubles, sug gested to another gentleman to go with her to the Sisters and intercede for her, *d tell them how distressed the was. As the gentleman opened the umbrella the money fell from its folds on the ground! Tears gave way to smiles sod the little heart was glad. The dark hover ing clond was dispelled and the glorious sun shine came out in all its magnificence and tli# little girl was happy. Isaacs House Haloes. This famous saloon, under the control of that prince of good fellows, Ullmann, is flour ishing like the proverbial bay tree.

Go around sad see UUmaaa. decl3 eod '■'be Atlanta Ahum Dnel. Tills affair, an account of which appeared in the Atlanta Herald of a recent date, and noticed by this paper, has been going the rounds of the press, and unlike the rolling stone, gathers moss ns it rolls. We hare seen one of the prln elpals in tile mock tragedy, Mr. Chas. Van Val- Uenburg, and lie wishes to be set right before the people. lu the first place, he went inte the fight uueouseloui of any joke bciug on the tapii, and acted houorably, according to the code, from the lieginniug to the end ; thinking therefore the fun poked at him is totally out of place. Up to aa hour before the. dual, It is believed that Tliynne thought seriously of the uistter and consequently acted houorably. Seeing that ills opponent was determined the only way lie could get wall out of the scrope without having blood shed, he con cocted the plan so well ventilated by the papers. Mr. Van Valkenburg thinks that Thynnc acted very cowardly throughout the whole uffair. Thymic bore all expenses attending the aflair, and from the manner in which lie cut a hole in anew coat and ruined an entire suit liy smear ing it with chicken blood, the expenses must have been heavy. Before rendering a verdict, pro. or eon., con cerning this matter, it would be wall for the people of Macon to give the matter due con sideration, and look ou this picture, then on that. The young man is a son of the la mented Col. Jas. D. Van Valkenburg, a gallant Confederate, and a hero of many battles, who fell mortally wounded at the battle of Mo il ocasy. Having stated the case, with the opinion that all should form in regard to the matter, and that is : a boy like Charlie Vaa Valkenburg is not to be tackled cither 111 a sham or real dnel, as he has enough bravery of his father to stand his ground, Inniignratien of the Slew Hous'd of Aldermen. Last night the Council Chamber, at the City Hall, was filled with citizens to witness the in teresting ceremony of tiia retirement of the old, and the Inauguration of the new Board of Al dermen. At 7 1-2 o’clock Mayor Huff rapped on his desk and Chief of Police Martin declared the session duly opened. Mayor Huff called for reports from the vari ous committees, and, through their chairmen, received responses that they had no reports to make ; whereupon Mayor Huff called Alder man Ellis to the chair, when a resolution of thanks to all the retiring officers was adopted unanimously. A resolution of thanks to Street Contractor Gustin, and recommending that the new Board continue that fine old gentleman in his present position was adopted also. Mayor Huff again taking the Chair, delivered a valedictory address to the “Geatiemen of the City Council.” He congratulsted them upon the termination of their arduous and unrequit ted labors, which had not been altogether in vain. After giving in detail the present status of the Macon Armory property, submitting a re port from the City Treasurer, and touching upon one or two other matters of minor im portance,he declared the old Council adjourned sine die. Then Esquire Harman came forward aud ad ministered the oath of office to all —com- mencing with Mayor Huff, then the new Alder men by wards, then McManus and Williamson. This ceremony over, Mr. Huff read his inau gural message to the new Board from a printed proof sheet. It was very interesting, but we have not room for even a synopsis of it to-day. The message finished, he declared the new council organized and ready for business. The first thing in order was the election of Chief of Police, and that boing the chief item of interest to the audience, the house instantly became as still as a mouse when conscious of a cat watching him. “ Prepare your ballots, gentlemen,” came rom the chair. Chief Martin, acting as Deacon, passed around the hat and took up the first collection. Putting it down on McManus’ desk, the Dea con proaeeded to count while John marked down the contributions. “Carnes.” “Carnes one.” “Carnes.” “Carnes two,” and it went on “Carnes,” “Carnes,” “Carnes,” and noth ing hut “Carnes,” until the entire twelve votes were recorded, at the conclusion of which, a good many in the audience voted viva voce for a candidate they called “Hell.” These votes were not counted, and Mayor Huff duly de clared Captain Carnes duly elected Chief of Police. After which R. W. Jamison aud John B. Weems were elected City Attorneys, when tha Council adjourned to next Tuesday, at early candle lighting.
