Two small pox patients were taken from the upper part of Third street, yes terday afternoon, and carried to the hos pital. Slight Accident. As Mr. Gibbons, proprietor of the Sa vannah Store, was riding out last Sunday afternoon, the horse became frightened and turned himself, buggy and Mr. G. over, badly bruising oqe side of the gentleman’s face. ♦ —— Personal. If the young man with a blue cravat and patent leather boots know what is good for his health, he had better call and get one of Haven’s excelsior free lunches to be set this morning at 11 o’clock. A Flock of Turtles- A shipment of nine hundred and ninety nine small soft shell turtles were received by Ells & t Laney yesterday. They (the turtles, of course) will be served up in soup to-day at 11 o'clock and lovers of the same should not fail to call. Frank H. Alley. We are glad to know that the illness of this well known citizen is not so serious as was stated in our paper yesterday. His many friends may expect his early recov ery and his restoration to his daily walks with them. Nearly a Fire. About noon yesterday the chimney of Alderman C. Burke’s house caught on fire, and from the large flame issuing from it, much danger was apprehended. Young Johnnie Meara saw the danger and in a twinkling was up the house with a wet blanket, and by his strenuous efforts averted what might have been a serious Are. No damage was done. - - A Large Potato. An Irwin county man, Mr. Seaborn Falss, has sent us a sweet potato measur ing two feet four inches in length and about seven inches in circumference. Why Mr. Fales should select this office as a museum for agricultural curiosities we can’t for the life of us tell. We never wronged anybody if we knew it, and we haven’t a single creditor who can consci entiously say that we ever insulted them by paying our debts promptly. Then why should Mr. Fales send this potatocal malformation * If he sent it to appease the gnawings of hunger, we are satisfied and render thanks for his generous present Riot a t Daria 11. We learn by a passenger who arrived direct from Darian last night that a serious disturbance occurred there on Tuesday night between the white and colored peo ple. The sheriff of the county, a white man, attempted to arrest a negro outlaw, and in doing so aroused the indignation of the the darkey population of the town, who assembled in great force to rescue the pris oner. The white people in turn met en masse with arms, determined to uphold the law and sustain the sheriff. At the hour our informant, Mr. Mc- Cloud, left the town both races were un der arms and a collision momentarily ex pected. The white population had determined to act wholly upon the defensive, but in tended to defend themselve in case of at. tack. The darkies were very noisy and see*lngfy beat *pon a fight. Marrow of Our Lead Pencil. The soda fountain of Air. Roland B. Hall was in full blast yesterday. The elevator at Greer, Lake & Co.’s is almost ready for use. The steamers were out practicing for the contest yesterday. A coat-rack man is troubling us. The weather was a little cool yesterday. Our hotels are doing a good business. There is much rejoicing over the action of the City Council, on Tuesday night, in regard to the Macon and Cincinnati Rail road. The post-oil ice question is plill unde cided. If you want to ge' along in these de gem'iate days without having your confi dence abused eic , treat every body, even your best friend, as if he was a scoundrel Rather a rough way of putting it, but it is as true as gospel. We once knew a ina< who suddenly gave up advertising for a loug time. He bad never advertised but once, and that was a chap came around with a traveler’s guide and sold him a page in it, offering at the same time to send a copy to every hotel in the country. As our advertiser kept a local store, it is easy to see why he gave up advertising. A circular saw, for instuuce, is a very useful article, but it will not pay to run it backwards ; and this in stance was even worse, for the book never appeared. This is as good a reason as is often given for not advertising in the local paper —because some former advertising venture, of a wholly different character, did not pay. Local news was as scarce as honest men yesterday. Dull, dull, dull. How is our fruit crop ? A Macon boy went fishing the other day at Bull creek. He had a tremendous bite. He fancied he had the biggest cat ever caught. He tugged at him uutil perspira tion oozed in copious streams from his classic brow, then he ceased his labors and sat down to rest. He got up and re sumed. After another hour’s work he pulled out one of these eliptic-spring hoop skirts. It wasn’t his usual day for cussiu’ but be managed to do the thing justice. There may be harder things than a darkey’s head, but on an average they are hard to beat.. F’riustance, yesterday two nigs were carrying bricks up a ladder. The bricks slipped out of the hod carried by the formost darkey and landed square on the head of the lower one. Top nig asked “what de debbil did you git in de way ob dem brick fur ?” However nig, “dui, s so; me taught I did hear sumtin’ fall!” That Dog. Susan Hawthorne is a colored lady, whose residence with the white trash has familiarized her with hifalutin language, and Susan never lets slip an opportunity to display her knowledge. She is the hapless owner of a dog, and that incor rigible cur has to suffer from innumerable bricks, rocks, billets of wood, etc., thrown by certain unruly neighbors. Finding that patience ceased to be a virtue, she had the parties brought up before the Mayor yes terday morning, with the hope of abating the nuisance. When the Mayor asked for her tale of grievances, she wiped her nasal organ, and told him that “da had ’buked her and ’buked her an’ she ’monstrated wid ’em but da jes’ kept on an’ frowed rocks at de dog, an’ she ’lowed she wouldn’t put up wid it any longer, so she ’ported ’em ; an - Mister Huff, I’se gwine ter tell yer de troof, I nebber ’bused dem people in my whole life, dat I nebber 1 Da jes’ chunked my dog, and I tole ’em to quit it, but da would kaep on, an’ da knows it, an’ dat • the troff ef ebber I told it.’’ The Mayor thought so too, and give the offending parties a severe reprimand.

W. T. Brown, Proprietor, No. 8 Cotton avenue, Macon, Ga. mar26-lm . Antonia Zambrana, formerly Secretary of the Cuban Congress, has arrived in New York. His mission is to the Cubans in this country, and not primarily, at least, to the Government of the United States. It is believed that the Cuban revolu tionists are straining every nerve to- take advantage of their recent success in the field, and the troubles which continue to beset the mother country. Zambrana is a by profession, and an eloquent orator. He is called the Ilis pano American Castelos. All his relatives have sided with Spain in her struggle with the little Island of Cuba. The State Capitol building at Albany, N. Y., it is said, has cost already $3,000,- 00 ', and that from five to seven millions mere will be needed for its completion.

Minister to Japan. Washington, April 9.—There is quite a sharp contest going on over the appoint ment of a Minister to Japan. It is well understood that the present Minister, DeLong, has been requested to resign. The appointment is claimed by the Pacific coast, but there seems to be some differ ence as to to the man. Ex-Senators Nye and Cole are the candidates. It is said that Cole has the confidence of the Presi dent and will get the appointment. What is known as the Pacific Coast Ring is against Cole and is stropg for Nye. Kuklux Pardoned. Nearly all of the Kuklux prisoners sent to Albany for participation in raids, or who were convicted of the charge of be longing to the Kuklux Order, have been pardoned. There now remain those con victed of direct complicity in the murder of unoffending citizens. While it is the intention of the President, sooner or later, to pardon all the prisoners convicted under the enforcement act, he does not deem it necessary to extend Executive clemency uutil they have realized the fact that the Government is determined to preserve law and order. o Mew York Criminals. New York, April 9.—Michael Cannon and John Guery, charged in the Court of general sessions with snatching a watch ohain from Mrs. Lydia Dofy, of St. James Hotel was brought up for trial.

To obviate this difficu ty physicians have long sought for an agent that would Purge, Purify and Strengthen At one and the same time. Their research has at last been rewarded by a discovery which fully realizes the fondest de sires of the medical faculty, and which is just ly regarded as the mest important triumph that Pharmacy has ever achieved. This im porthnt desiheratum is Dr. Tutt’s Vegetable Liver Pills. Which purify the blood and remove all corrupt haulers and unhealthy accumulations from the body, and pet produces no weakness or lassi tude whatever, but on the contrary tones the stomach and invigoiates the body during the progress of the operation. They unite the heretofore irreconcilable qualities of a STRENGTHENING PURGATIVE and a PUIUFYJNGTONIC. Hr.TiilPs Pill* are the most active and searching medicine in existence. They at once attack trie very root of diseases, and their action is so prompt that in an hour or two af ter they are taken the patient is aware of their good effects. They may he taken at any time without restraint of diet or occupation ; they produce neither nausea, griping or debility, and as a family medicine they have no rival. Price 25 centa a box.
