Allen Stanford was docketed for fight ing, but he failed to putin an appearance, and consequently he was fined $lO for contempt of court. Verily times are getting duller. Another Insane Man Passed through this city en route for the Asylum at Milledgeville. lie was from Forsyth, and was in charge of the Sheriff'of Monroe county. Boarders at the Jail. Deputy Sheriff, Lem Cherry, informs us that he has only thirty boarders at his hotel. We suppose there will be quite a decrease in the number shortly when Court meets. They say Judge Hill is go ing to rush things. ♦♦ A Dangerous Bluff* Near the bridge, crossing the M. & W. R. R., on the extension of Second street, is a very dangerous cliff, made by the rail road cut. It is in the street, and since the bridge has been built, it has become quite a thoroughfare. We hope the city will do something towards having it fixed. A wall built up from the railroad bed and surmounted by a railing will be the thing. An accident may happen there at any moment, especially of dark nights. Would it not be judicious to remedy it before. Ink Eraser- There is an agent in this city, we learn, who is peddling a peculiar acid which in stantly upon application removes ink from paper and leaves an entirely clean surface, on which words may be written without the least danger of blotting and as easily as upon the unspotted page. Ex periment has shown that by the use of this chemical repeated erasures can be made on the same spot, with entire safety aud without the slightest blemish to the paper. Seems to us this is a dangerous mixture to be selling. ' Macon Bank and Trust Company. Wo ask attention to the advertisement of this Company, in our columns else where. Charles M. Wiley, ooe of the wealthiest citizens of Macon is President, with such directors as Hardin Johnson, George 8. Jones, L. W. Rasdal, R. H. Flanders- Emory, Winship and Gus. Nussbaum gentlemen whose names are sufficient indorsement for any ordinary amount, The Bank has taken rooms formerly oocu pied by W. L. Ellis and Bro., Second Street, by which it secures the use of the vaults formerly used by the Marine Bank of Georgia. The books are still open for subscrip tion. It is well known that Bank stock pays more handsomely and assures larger dividends than any other class of invest: ments now presented in our city, and with the personal guarantee of the gentle men representing this institution, we •have no doubt that the remaining shares •will be immediately subscribed. * The Empire Stone ftuary. W e paid a visit to this enterprise the ■other day and noticed the work of getting out the beautiful material that Mr. P. H. Ward intends to use in his work about the ■Cemetery, and throughout the city. A blast was discharged while we were there, and many fine large stones were thrown out so complete in size and shape as -not to require the hammer to be used on them. Mr. Ward hopes to gain the consent of the City Council to make a road through the main part of Holly Bridge, to facilitate operations out there while at the same time he is ready to do anything in his line about town. From wbat we saw of the material we do not hesitate to say, that should the county magistracy conclude to commence the jail, here is the plaee .right at home to get the material', for the walls and tovnake a building which will vie with the Court House in symme try and bHsty. One Year Old To-day. (Vol. 11, No. 1.) Just one year old to day, and in the best health it ever enjoyed. Yes ; twelve long months have hovered over us like so many clouds, sometimes threatening, and some times sunny. They have melted away into the past leaving only their memory. And what a past! What a sight of trouble our little pet lias given us. Screaming with delight when its littlo white dress was spangled with paying “ads,’ and squalling w hen growling subscribers said “stop your visits!” That was before it could walk alone, when each slow, to'ttoring step was i sde in the dark. Now those feet have allied strength,its dress is neuter and more c egautly trimmed with uds, and it walks 1, arlessly up the very same stairs it came so near failing down ; and yet it is not proud a bit, for it pays its morning visits to nearly a thousand dear, dear friends, and among them are mechanics as well as aristocrats. Born amid the cries on every baud of “it won’t pay,” “it will soon play out,” etc., and before the sound of the death knell of another wee thing had fairly died away; living through the dullest year Ma con had kuowu for several years, and la boring under a thousand disadvantages, it enters upon its second year stronger for the ordeal it has passed through and brighter because of its present prospecte. But a few weeks ago our little pet changed its parentage, but those who have assumed the many responsibilities of its adoption have grown to love it, and their hearts cu&ltl not ask for a greater boon than its successful and prosperous careor. They have taken it to “bring it up iu the way it should go," and thus far, have suc ceeded beyond their most sanguine hopes. It has become a pet with the public. It is not the dirty-faced urchiu, but the clean visaged Enterprise, commanding re spect from every source. Its toes are not to be trodden on now with impunity. Its little fists, thought not as large or brawny as older people's, are to be feared, for their blows fall heavy and hurt when they hit. But how grateful are wc to kind friends who have figuratively lent us paregoric ; and even for those who proffered their poisonous soothing syrups we have none but the kindest feelings. To learn to love a paper is not like learning to love a woman. A man may fall in love with a woman at first sight, at some time when all her best qualities are displayed, when she looks her best, or iu common parlance when she has her “best foot foremost,” and when the knot is tied find alas that he saw all in the first glance at the picture. Not so with the paper. In the right hands it gradually increases in beauty, gradually displays its best quali ties, gradually develops itself, aud all this time your love rises in the the same grad ual scale as every good feature is revealed. And at last you find yourself a lover of it and regret sincerely when a visit is omit ted. And nothing gives us more satisfac tion than to have such a large circle of these lovers, for it is evidence that our ef forts are appreciated. And uow, little pet, we give you into the keeping of the second year of your exist ence. We are not at all anxious for your 8V .cess—we have too many friends, and oh, such good ones—to have any misgiv ings. Bo now git! Accepted, Young America Fire Cos. has accepted the two “jumpers” recently received. They cannot carry the usual compliment of hose, but they are durable and light and as it would cause much delay and expense to return, them and get others, they have concluded to keep them. The Summer House. Two new house are being erected at the Cemetery. One of pagoda shape, circular form with tin roof, is placed about half way up the hill, from the Cbrystal Spring, another on the other hill, Holly Bridge is also very pretty. These conveniences are just the things needed, and we hope the work will not stop here. Mr. John L. Jones, the efficient Treas urer of the Cemetery, intends we hear to give more of his time to work and super intendance out there, and we think under his care things will assume a more cheer- ing aspect.

The Battle of the lauoceiits. Jay Gould appeared before the Erie In vestigating Committee. He was not aware that Tweed had been employed by the Erie Company as their lawyer, or that money had been paid him.. Barber was engaged to go to Albany to guard agaiust hostile legislation. Did not recollect that moro money was paid Barber during the session of the Legislature than at uny other timo. When shown Tweed’s vouch ers, Gould said be kuew nothing about them, lie admitted that large sums of money had been spent to defray the elec tion expenses, which was applied in nearly every senatorial district iu the State. Mucli was charged on the books to legal expenses that went for other purposes. This ho called the India rubber fund. Gould was very cautious, and little defi nite information was obtained. Hard on the White Star Line. A meeting of the friends of the lost cabin passengers on the Atlantic passed resolutions of condemnation of the man agers of the White Star Line, for lack of energy in rescuing the bodies. De-spie-s Him Not. The Herald’s Havana special says the Capt. General states that two letteis were fonnd in Kelley’s possession, from Ces pedes, and that he will be treated as a spy.

The Carlists say they withdrew because they would not fight ou Good Friday, but will return. Alabama —legislative Proceed ings. Montgomery, April 12.—The Senate on yesterday passed, with amendments, the House bill confirming the sale of the Ala bama and Chattanooga Railroad to the New Orleans and N. E. Railroad Cos. The House passed, with amendment, the Senate bill recalling all indorsed railroad bonds and authorizing the issue of thirty year seven per cent, gold interest bearing straight bonds in lieu thereof, at the rate of one thousand straight for four thousand endorsed bends, and providing that in no event shall the obligations of the State on this account exceed eight millions. The amendments to both bills will be concurred in, much to the relief of the State, whose liabilities will thus be de creased from near thirty millions to eight millions on account of railroads. The lat ter bill releases the State lien on roads surrendering endorsed bonds, but leaves an annual sinking fund tax on their gross earnings to pay the bonds at maturity. Minor Telegrams. Professor Kock, of the Hahnemann Medical College, Philadelphia, who dis appeared from that city three weeks since, it has been discovered, is a defaulter, hav ing squandered the funds of the college by dissipated habits. A post mortem examination of the body of Mrs. Hall, the lady who died suddenly on Sunday, at the Grand Central Hotel, Chicago, revealed the fact that her death was produced by abortion. The case is still under investigation. John Hanpley, the boy hero of the At lantic disaster, will remain with relatives at Newark, declining to become the adopt ed son of a Rochester alderman.

We were misinformed in regard to tho woman from Atlanta, mentioned iu yes terday ‘s paper. It seems as if the (hd'ce did not have anything to do with t'i<‘ rest aud that it was made by tho tw > ft cieut constables, Messrs. Mclntyro red RaTney. On Thursday the constables, in* compuny with constable Porter of Atlam,, went to a certain house of ill repute, and secured the trunks belonging to the wo man, but tailed to flud the bird. She kept herself pretty well hid, but a carrriage wus seen to leave the houso about nine o’clock that night. Next morning suspicious were aroused aud on obtaining a clue to the route taken, Messrs. Mclntyro. ltaincy aud Porter procured conveyances and set out poste haste. They /bund her about seven teen miles from Macon on the Columbus road, and she was brought to town on Fri day night. Ycstorday morning in charge of Constable Porter, she went to Augusta, aud was to return last night and from here go right on to Atlanta. The charges against her are said to be quite numerous us well as serious. One, we learn, is fQr kecing a Louse of ill fume, and another for allowing a seduction to take place in her houso in Atlanta. To Messrs. Mclntyre and Bainey is tho credit due for her arrest. They worked hard and faithful to secure her arrest. A stabbing affray occurred inllawkins ville last Thursday between Jas. E. Laid ler and James llill. Hill was seriously stabbed. CHANGE OF SCHEDULE NO CHANGE OF CARS BETWEEN AU GUSTA AND COLUMBUS.
