Savannah has beou »he some of etversl
Of the meat daring and doiiberat s robber-
ies ib*t ever occurred in a Son’herd olty.
The bnrglara were evidently old bands at
the work and went at it seeundem artem.
Thefertior these thieves are .worthy of
particular mention. Wo anote from the
Netc*:
Some timo between midnight of Taes-
day and daybreak yesterday tbe jawelry
ttore of Mr. Adolph Sack, on Broughton
street, neat Whittaker, was entered by
burglars and robbed of a considerable
amount of property. Thedisoovery was
made yesterday morning when tne boy
opened tbe store. . ' .
An examination of the promises showed
that on entrance had been effected from
the rear, the barglars, evidently no
novices at the business, having scaled the
fence from the lane, and with the aid of
a railroad spike and a hatchet, which
were subsequently found oa the premises,
forced open the door. After getting into
the store the thieves collected ail tbe
available articles in the '•how cases, con
sisting of eilver forks, ep^-ns, goblets,
knives, pistols, jewelry, several accord-
eons and a number of fine gold pecs, the
whole valued at between $400 and $500.
The most Talnable portion of the stock,
together with articles lert to be repaired,
were deposited in tho safe, which was not
disturbed, tho bnrglara apparently think
ing it would be useless to attempt to
force it open.
After securing what they coaid at Mr.
SaoV’s, tbe marauders paid a visit to the
salooa of Messrs. Htrschback & Son, ad
joining, and ae[aratid only by a light
fence. Here they made an attempt, it
seems, to pry open the door, but finding
this could not ba done, they forced the
window and obtained entrance by this
means. Fortunately there was only a
small amount of chango in tho money
drawer—not more than seven dollars—
and this the marauders secured after
breaking open the drawer. They then
helped themselves freely to cigars and
tobacco, and also earned off several
handsome meersohaum pipes. The fall
lots of Messrs. HerBchback & Son is not
known at present.
A visit was also paid tho premises of
Meisrs. Beilly & Moloney, coffee and tea
dealers, on Broughton street, next door
to Sack’s store. They were not success-
fol in entering this store, ss the door was
too econrely fastened, but managed to
get into the roasting room by foroing the
casing of tbe back door. There wsa net
much hero found to reward their effort-,
and they had to content themselves with
a small lot of ooffeo bagging.
The boidnees and success which at
tended this raid demonstrates.that it was
planned and conducted by experienced
bnrglaf3 who seemingly were well ac
quainted with the premises.
No arrests had been made up to a late
hour lait nigtt, and we heard of no vig
orous attempt being made to capture
the partier. Should the matter bo turned
over to the detectives, however, we donbt
not that tbe marauders would soon be
secured and the property returned.
The South Atlantic is getting to ba as
good whaling ground as the Polar Seas
The Savannah News says: We learn tha
the pilot boat Sarpriso towed a large dead
whale into Port Royal on Friday last.
The Surprise spoke tho crew of a whaling
schooner having this monster of the deep
in tow, and as night wa3 coming on and
tha schooner was making but littlo head
way, the pilot boat relieved her ard
brought the whale into tho port namod.
The echooner reported a school of whales
off Port Royal, which was subsequently
seen by the pilot boat, and the supposi
tion is that there is some bay in the vi
cinity of tha hatbor sought by them dar
ing the month of March—tho breeding
season. Tne whkle referred to will,
we understand, yield from 800 to 900
barrels of oil,'and about 1,000 to 1,200
pounds of bone.
Too staunch little yacht, “Iia,” baa
returned ia safety after an extended
ernise to Stvannah. Sho is under the
command of Captain Haffcke, tho owner.
The News says: Since he left here in
Toly be has been along the entire Florida
and Alabama and Louisiana oozets, and
the “Little Ida” looks os bright and
fresh as when we saw her last. The
yaoht is a splendid sea boat, and la pro
vided with every possible convenience,
the “cabin” being arranged admirably
by Captain Hsffckt, with dns regard to
economy of space. She ia eighteen feet
in length, six and a half feet beam, and
draws two and a half feet of water.
A Good Advakcs.—Since tha accept
ance of the compromise, by which the in
terest upon the bonds of tho city of Sa
vannah was reduced, they have steadily
gone up from sixty to seventy per cent.,
and still continue to cdvance. This is a
cheeiiog indioationof returning oonfi-
dencein the future of onr noble -seaport,
and we rrjoioe to cbroniclo tbe faot.

Dxatk of an Odd and Excellent Cit
izen — Quitman Reporter: Mr. John S.
Stevens, an old gentleman well and fa
vorably known at this place—a brother-
in-law of our esteemed and venerable
fellow-citizen, Mr. O. W. Stevens—died
last Thursday at Valdosta. He was born
in Liborty county, and np to the time bn
was taken eick bis mind wa3 perfectly
lucid, remembering with great (dearness
all tne important events that trans
pired during tbe early days of bis
native connty. He had been for some
time engaged in writing np reminiscenses
of that oonnty, dating baox to more than
sixty years, for publication in tbe Hines-
ville Gazette, which ware very interesting,
and will soma day become an important
part of tb*t old and wonderful connty.
Mr. Stevens was a very genial and affable
gentleman. We tender our nnsffected
sympathy to his relative?.
Tbe wiiter knew this steiling gentle
man from earliest boyhood. He wai
possessed of a rare inteileot ana spark
ling wit, which always fond happy ex
pression under any circumstances what
ever. Few men were moio beloved tban
he, end many a tear will be dropped to
the memory of John Stevens, who was
born in old Sanbury more tban seventy
years ago.
The A'lsnta papers oontinne to be fill
ed with the details of the killing of Col.
Alston, the sworn evidence of Captain
Nelms and others, and the funeral obse
quies of the deceased. From tbe account
of the latter in the Constitution, we ex
tract the following:
Tho following gentlemen acted as pall
bearers: Major J. B. Morgan, 'Major J.
W. Warren, Jndge Brice, Mr Z. D. Har
rison, Mr. Frack G irdon, Colonel J. W.
Nelms, Mr. Howard Van Epps, Mr. Wil
liam Jones, Dr. A. W. Calhoun, Colonel
Sam Williams.
The remains were carried into the
densely packed church and tbe oboirsang
a i-adbut sweet hymn with impressive
effeot. The pnipit was draped in mourn
ing, bnt from tbe black doth under :be
Bible depended an anchor of white flow
ers, a beautiful emblem of hope. The
remains were followed by tbe strioken
famiL. Mr. Gas. Alston, of Eafanls,
Alabama, arrived yesterday morning, and
on bis arm leaned the widow whom God’s
etraqge providenoe had bereft. Tbe
children of Golocel Alston and other re
lations followed. Tbe solemn servloe of
the dead was read by Rev. Allen Thorns?,
pastor of the ohnrcb, after whtoh Rev.
Or. W. F. Cook offered a prayer of touch
ing beauty.
This story is related in connection
with Colonel Alston’s membership with
Deozmr Methodist Church. About two
years ago, when be felt it bis duty to join
the church, he preferred tbe Edgewcod
obspel, and was about to jom it there,
when he learned that Mr. Oox bad an
idea of joining the church also. He ap
proached Mr. Cox and earnestly begged
inm to join tbe Edgewood churoh. Mr.
Oox would not couBent, At last Colonel
Alston said: “Well, Ed., Ill join at De-
catnr, if yon will.” Totals proposition
an affirmative answer waa returned, and
these two men entered the solemn bonds
together. Now one ia slain and the otber
ia bis alayer.
The orowd at the obntob yesterday tep-
sesented tbe offioitls of the State, tfco
leading citizens of Atlanta and DeKalb
oonnty. Macon sent up Hon. A. O. Ba-
oon, speaker of tbe House, Mayor Hoff
and genial Charlie Herbal, who loved Al
ston like a brother.
Oateide stood bnndredssbont the doors
and windows unable to gain entrance.
There ware scores of negroes present and
some of them wept like obildren. Said a
gentleman, “I believe every man, woman
and child in DeKalb county loved Bob
Alston."
After the services at the oburch the
erowd moved to tbe graveyard, where the
remains were tenderly laid away in their
laat resting plaoe. The Masons took
charge of the corpse at the grave, and
never was the beautiful Masonio burial
service more nobly performed.
The lawyers engaged for the prosecu
tion of Mr. Cox are Messrs. Hopkins &
Glenn, Mr. Howard Van Epps, Mr. Pat
rick Calhoun, CoL Willis Hawkins and
Hon. Samnel Hall, ot onr oity. The mat
ter will be pressed to a trial at the earliest
possible moment.
What Instigatsd Felton’s La.tr At
tack upon General Gordon. — The
Chronicle and Constitutionalist, comment
ing at length upon the angry controversy
between these gentlemen, asks if Felton’s
coarse can “be for any other purpose than
to create an excitiog and acrimonious
side issue, wbicb will divert public atten
tion from tbe close alliance, in Georgia, of
Independentism and Radlcalism,and blind
tbe eyes of tbe people to that great im
pending issue at our next general elec
tions, when the Democracy of Georgia
will be called on to meet tbe old foe nnder
a new name, and oppose nnder the flag of
“Independent," a black line of battle of
ficered by. white faces.

man, who has been brought to Savannah
by the Deputy Sheriff of Appling county,
and is now lodged in Chatham county jail
for uvfe keeping. The body of Mr. Britt
was found on Sunday morning in the

tbe r.ooso in which he nsu&lly slept, with
a wound In the left breast made by t
•ma'I pistol ball. After the body was
found, eusplcion was directed to the n?.
gro man, who, upon being accused of the
crime, acknowledged having dono tbe
shooting, and, at first, said it was in self-
defense, bnt afterwards claimed that it
was accidental. *

A Capacious Paunch.—Atlanta has a
tramp who can drink 2700 caps of coffee

The Oglethorpe Echo says farming
operations are ten days aUead of last year.
A Grumbler.—Tbe Echo is responsible
for the following:
Green Farmer, a negro preacher in this
district, thinks Lake Brown is the thir
teenth disciple. Recently, in a sermon,
he said: “Bredren, brudder Lake am a
noted 'ponnder of the Word of God, and
am also a mighty good man, but de Lord
mi-treated him and didn’t do de far thing
when he marked him faithful servant wid
de smallpox- Yon all know dat’s bo.”
Is It Honest? We Tbow Not.—
Oglethorpe Echo : We have substantial
fcvidenoo that some farmers in this oonn
ty, and we believe it is praotioed through
out tbe S.ate, make arrangements with a
merchant to “run" them through the year
they paying high time prices, end to les
sen tto load from their shoulders charge
tM Ignorant and dependent hands in their
employ from, twenty-five to fifty per
cent, advanoe over the credit prioes paid
oy them. There ia nothing more unfair,
to say tbe leas’, than such extortion on
helplesz ignorance. Bat few negroes
oan read or write, and having no means to
bny themselves, they are entirely at tbe
meroy of their employer. If a hand’s
wages are due at the end of tbe year, and
yon have to advance him money or goods
for wbioh yon paid the cash, then it is
bnt fair that you be paid a reasonable
interest, proportionate with the risk you
ran ; bnt it is altogether wrong to make
them lndireotiy pay yonr overcharge by a
heavy addition to tbe merchant’ll time
prloe. Some formers, in order to socme
favorite hands, agree to pay them more
than they can afford with jnstioe to their
own interest?, and then, to save them
selves, resort to this disreputable prac
tice.

A Noble Countt.—LaGrango Reporter:
When is comes to sterling worth and
downright good, bard sense among the

Oox.—The Atlanta Pest says Captain
Ed Cox is recovering from his wonnds ss
rapidly as oonld be expected. His wife
and sisters are allowed to stay with him
in jail. Not one. jot of extenuating tes
timony has transpired in all the evidence
which has bsen printed concerning this
most unjustifiable fcomioide. What if
tbe unfortunate min recovers, horrible
dreams and midright spectres most bannt
his couch forever, to say nothing of the
consuming dread of what now appears
mnst be the inevitable ruling of a viola
ted law.
Thb Alston Tbaoedt.—An ’ Invebti
gation Ordered—Atlanta Post: We
ate glad to state that there will be an in

day’s bloodshed. In fact, tbe Investiga
tion is already ordered, and will ocour as
soon as witnesses and neoessary parlies
can ba summoned and brought before tbe
Bjard.
Felton Laid Out.—The Times and
Planter says: This uncalled for attack
on Gordon has about killed Dr. Felton’s
prospects for the Governorship. In this
view of the case, Mrs. Felton has done
the Democratic party in Georgia a valu
able service. A man bad as well under
take to batter down a mountain with
mud balls as to break down the influence
and popularity of John B. Gordon.
Is it Abtillbbt Punch?—The same:
This ia General Jackson’s birthday and
we expect to celebrate, bat we shan’t tell

Thb Right (Spirit,—Times and Plan
ter: As an evidence ot the progress of

per? reoelve these bard times. We oor-
dially extend tbe right hand of fellowship
to thesprigbtly bantling, and bid the ed
itor God speed in his DropoBed fight for
the right.
Negro Fabms.—In reply to an arliole
in tbe Comfifirtion, tbe Bainbridge Dem
ocrat, says: -
Wetrnat tbatthe tsndonoy of the col-
ored people to settle down npon lands of
tbelr own is, as onr Atlanta contemporary
puis it, “a happy omen for the future,"
yet we are inclined capitally to donbt it;
and for tbia .reason, amen* others not
necessary to enumerate: Tbe majority
of tbisolass of citizens when left to tbtm-
selvsa are proverbialy thriftless, and
their mode of cultivating lands Is of tbe
rndeti style. A bsre manteoanoe
of life, is tbe only goal to which they
aspire, and they will contribute little, if
anything at all, to the wealth of the
country. They do not care for comforta
ble homes, nor attractive farms, "Suffi
cient unto the day” is their rule, end
they take no thonght of the future.
When their rations give oat, for meat
they repair to tho rivers and ponds; and
for bread their inclinations lead them to
tbe blackberry pitch. After they bave
haiTeeted their meagre crop of cotton
and oorn, the money received ia soon
squandered.
Will Said.—Marietta Journal: The
Rome Tribune congratulates tbe country
that the old Congress is d>ad, and the
new Congress, House and Senate, falls
into tbe hands of tho Democrats. That’s
ail good enough. Bat mind yon, they are
“organized” Democrats, tbe party yon
abuse so much.
Tihelt Advice.—Ia view of the many
bloody and shocking tragedies wbicb
bare disgraced this and other Georgia
cities the Columbus Enquirer-Sun, referr
ing to tho killing of Colonel Alston,
saje:
Unbridled passion and disregard of
law bave created tbe majority of the
crime and misery of this world. This
bloody enconnter sbonid ba deplored by
all. A strict exsention cl the statutes is
the only preventive to such occurrences.
Harder must be punisbod adequately to
deter others from tbe commission of snohi
deeds.
Ah Adventurous Mule.—Marietta

two miles below Marietta, while e gently

Hon. B Hill
A recent interview with Senator Hill,
of Georgia, rays tho Now York Mail,
shows bow compact are the revolution
ary foroes that deliberately created the
necessity for a Special Session of Con
gress, nnd that propose to ooeroe a co
ordinate department of the government.
Mr. Hill said: ‘‘In reply to all critioism?,
and to satisfy the people of the South as
to my attitude regarding the proposition
to repeal the election laws, etc, I have
to say—First, that in. the beginning I
d jufctect the necessity of this step at thi B
time; second, I questioned tho expedf
ency of taking it in this manner. I
said so in caucns. That was au expres
sion of individnal judgment. Now I am
called npon to aot. I therefore eay that
whatever may bave been, or may be, my
views ss to tho expediency, policy or ne
cessity of this step, the action of the
Democratic party in tbe House has im
posed upon Democrats in the Senate the
higher duty of preserving an anbroken
pirty front.
I therefore stand with tbe Democrats
of the House, and shall do so to the bit
ter end, if necessary. So will, and so
ought, every Democrat in the Senate,
irrespective of what his personal judg
ment may be or have been. In conclu
sion, 1 have to eay, once for all, that
whenever the Democratic party in Con
gress lakes issue with the Radical party
on any measure effecting tbe form or
fact of onr government, as this question
does, I shall act with tho Democratic
party, expedient or inexpedient, politic
or impolitic, confident that whatever is
strenuously opposed by the Radical patty
nnder its present leadership mu3t inevit
ably turn cut in the end to be wise, just
and salutary.”
Hew System ol Elevating Grain.
The application of atmospheric pres-
suro for elevating grain has been occu
pying the attention of Mr. Alfred Wilkin,
of Tolodo, who thinks he has discovered
amors speedy and economtnal method
than any now in nso, and which, if it can
be brought to a successful issue, will
make great obanges in the gram carry
ing trad?. Tha Toledo Blade says “the
results, as already shown by his yet im
perfect model, are astonishing. The
principle is simply that of atmospheric
pressure, or the exhaust process which
has lately been applied with such marked
success in the Westinghouse atmospheric
brakep. The economy of power and the
rapidity of transit of the grain are, of
course, problematical. Bnt many of the
great advantages of the arrangement are
apparent- Among these is tbe capacity
for discharging several cars or vessels at
the same timo by matiig the supply
pipe fork into several pipes leading to
tie different lots of grain. Then the
expense of shoveling the grain np to the
leg of the elevator, aB nnder the present
system* is savod. This amounted to $3 60
per 1,000 bushels in Buffalo last season—
$160 to $200. say, for a large schooner.
When held at the surface of the grain,
the pipe, while in one position, would
draw up nearly if not quite all the wheat
or corn in the envelope-box, so that by a
little moving, as a fireman would move
tbe nozzle of his hese, it would quickly
take up all the grain in a vessel. There
would be a saving of about one-half in
insnranoe rates on grain in store, ss
there would be no machinery in building
—hence no friction, and no danger from
fire in the building. Not the least among
tbe desirable features of this method
wonid be the cooling of the grain by
passing it from one bin to another, and
cleaning it of dust and dirt at the same
time.
NOT SYMPTOMS, BU T THE DISEASE
It wonid seem to be a*truth appreciable
by all, and especially by professors of
tho healing art, that to remove the dis
ease, not to alleviate its symptoms, should
be tbe chief aim of medication. Yet in
hQw many instances do wo see this truth
admitted in thoory, ignored in practice.
Tbe reason that Hostetter’- Stomach B"li
ters is successful in so many case", with
which remedies previously tried were in
adequate to cope, is attributed to the
fact that it is a medicine which reaches
and removes the causes of the various’
maladies to which it is adapted. Indi
gestion, fever and ague, liver complaint,
gout, rheumatism, disorders of the bow
els, urinary affections and otber mila
dies are not palliated merely, bnt rooted
ont by it. It goes to the fonntatn head.
It is really, not nominally, a radical rem
edy, and it endows the system with an
amount of vigor which is its beat protec-
t on against disease. marll lw

was tbe leader of what was called tbe
“Oxford movement" mthe Cbnrch of
England in 1033, and with Dr. Pusey he
pushed the Tratarian or Romanizing cam
paign to extremes. In 1843 he left tbe
AngUoan communion and entered the
Roman Cacholio Churoh, in which he has
greatly distinguished himself by bis con
troversial writings. He accepted the
dogma of Papal infallibility, bnt has nev
er embraced ultramontanism in its broad-
eat sense. His appointment to the Car-
dinalate is for the purpose of represent
ing the Latin Chnrch in Great Britain, in
place of Cardinal Cullen, deceased.

AN APPEAL IN BBHALF OP THB OUT
OP THB DBAD.
It is well known that Sexton Clay ie
making the most strenuous efforts to im
prove and beautify tbe grounds and
walks of Rosewood Cemetery. Already
has he accomplished muoh in claming off
neglected lots, trimming the Bhijzbbery,
repairing the walks and driveB, and add
ing to tho beauties of that sacred reposi
tory of the dust of the “loved and lost.’’
But Mr. Clay’d efforts mast soon be cur
tailed for the lack of means. Most espe
cially ia be unable to make the needed
repairs to tho fencing of the Cemetery
without pecuniary assistance from onr
citizene. This, we donbt not, will be
promptly afforded, when it is known that
hogs and otber stock actually invade the
grounds, and, with the present fence, can
not be kept ont.
A gentleman told the writer that be
saw where one grave bad been rcoted
down by the Bwine last Sabbath. This
so stirred his righteous soul that he hss
ever since been laboring like a Heronlea
to awaken some interest in the projeot
of eholosing the grounds with a new fence,
and bss made good progress. The oe-
dsr poets have all been ordered, bnt at
least $600 will be required fb complete
the work. This amount can Barely he
raised in a single day, and we are advis
tdthat on Monday a committee of gen
tlemen will wait npon oar citizens and
solioit their subscriptions in behalf of
this noble objeot.
We are confident that (he mere stating
of tbe case will be sufficient to aronse the
sympathy and aotive co-operation of the
entire commnnity.
Rosewood is justly the" pride ot Mao on,
and it is snsoeptibie ot being made the
most charming spot in the South. Nature
has done everything for it in tbe shape
of a pictnreeque landscape, purling
brooks, a bold river flowing at tbe base
of lofty orsg?, and an ivy-olad forest un
rivalled for its beanty. Let ns embellish

We have just received the following
circular from Prof. Browne, in relation to
the use of Jate plant as a preventive to
the ravages of the caterpillar. It will be
read with interest, and perhaps utilized:
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: In my
address, before the Agricultural Conven
tion at Hawkinsvilie, on tbe 18th ulc., I
mentioned the alleged protection against
the caterpillar and all noxious insects, af
forded by the Jute plant to cotton, and
promised to obtain and publish, for the
benefit of tho agriculturalists of Georgia,
any further information on the subject
that I might obtain.
I bave just received a letter from Mr.
E. Lefranc, of New Orleans, in which he
says that, “the protection Indian jate
affords cotton againBt the caterpillar is a
fact which I ascertained, myself, on a
small, bnt positive, scale in Louisiana.
The iodor emanating from tbe jate in
bloom, stupifies insects and drive them
awav.” Dr. Landry, or New Orleans,
says*he has observed the influence of the
jute-growth on insects. “I have seen,"
hs writes, “on the first of October, a cot
ton field in fall foliage, flowers and bolls,
without a single insect bite. That cotton
was surrounded by a jnta-growtb. All
the cotion fields, far and around, were
more devastattd by worms."
Jate, sown from 15th to 30th of April,
will bloom eboac the time to afford the
best proanolion against tbe caterpillar.
The seed should be sown broadooast—
about 15 lbs to tba aore—on land thor
oughly plowed and pulverized. Seed may
be obtained by early application to JameB
S. Murdock, Esq., Secretary of tbe Agri
cultural Sooiety, ot South Carolina,
Charleston, who has imported a limited
supply from India, and will distribute it
at the cost of importation, wbioh sbonid
not exoeed 30 cents pet ponnd
I hope that planters, in different sec
tions of the State, will, as far as possi
ble, test the accuracy or the {(.verse of
this imputed virtue of the Juto plant.
If it be true, tbe discovery is certainly of
incalculable benefit to tho cotton States.
Very respectfully,

Tbe Alston Horror.
The Constitution prints a lengthy
sketch of tha history ot the ano^trj of
Colonel Robert Alston, and a graphic
aketob of the life of that unfortunate
gentleman from the dramatio pen of Mr.
H. W. Grady. It reads like a romance
of tbe olden time with rather more, if
possible, of dashing adventnre, hair
breadth escapes, btocdr fends and terri
ble disasters.
In tbe list scene which closed the ex
istence of Colonel Alston, it does seem
like he was contending againBt a resist
less and preordained destiny. It is due
to him to say that no men. could bave
exhibited greater gentleness and forbear
ance nnder the fearful and exciting cir
cumstances wbioh environed him. We
qnote thd conclusion of Mr. Grady’s
sketqh as follows:
THE ALSTON DESTINY.
There is a point upon which “Bob'
Alston has been more misunderstood
than upon his alleged proclivity for fight
ing. The bravery and dash of the old
Alston blood were there, but the passion
fever had been cooled out ot it, and a
most genial essence sent through it, cool
and sparkling. His mother was a gentle
woman and gave to her sons a most ad
mirable a weetness of disposition. When
ever the Alston fire flashed in the veins,
this delicious coolness put it down. 1
never saw Alston angry five minutes at a
time in my life. It was a flash—a frown
—a smile! Why, does not John Nelms
say that in the crisis of that murderous
fight, while the messenger of death was
already winged, the pale, stern face tnrn
ed toward him and lighted with a smile?
And does not the poor clay coffined and
stilted, in that room, yat wear a smile
that tells that the passion roused in that
forbearing frame died away before the
smoke had cleared from his face ?
I know, besides this, as Alston’s friends
know, that he had a sort of superstitious
dread of dying a violent death. While
he loved his aneestors, and honored their
high spirit, he haa told ms rime and again
that his highest ambition was to live and
die in peace. He said to me once that he
had kneeled by his boy’s bedside and
prayed to God that he might be allowed
to leave bim a legacy of peace. The
night he left Atlanta to go to meet Mr.
E. Y. Clark, in Alabama, he parted with
meat the old Castleberry corner. He
tnrned and leaned against the well that
stood there and prayed aiond that he
might come back without having done or
suffered violence. He never knew what
bodily fear was. I have seen him do tbe
most audacious things, and he has now
written courage with his life-blood.
He was gentle of spirit, and ba stud,
dered at the thought of bloodshed. His
impulsive nature—and moat, often his
generons chivalry—frequentlyled bim in
to difficulties, bnt he always sacrificed all
that honor wonid permit to avoid vio
lence.
I heard it said yesterday that he had
killed two men. Nothing ocn'.d be falser.
He never fought a duel. He never hurt
a bnman being. He cev«r carried a pis
toL He was authority on the cede, and
has adjusted more .difficulties, I presume,
than any man in Georgia. The saddest
memory of hfolife, as Iktow.washis con
nection with the McGraw-Tabor duel.
An article appeared in the Charleston
Mercury assailing Judge McGiaw. Yonng
McGraw, Alston’s friend, challenged tbe
three editors of the paper, declining to
hold the adtbor of tbe srtiole respon
sible, and contending that tbe
pnbtioation was the offense. Tabor ao-
eapted. Alston loaded tbe pistol?. At
tbe second fire Tabor sprang into the air
and fell to the earth a oorpse. Alston
never got over the horror of that sight.
He believed in the “code,” but be be
lieved in it as a peace maker. He held
that it settled difficaltiea rather tbsn
raised them. “Under the code,” said
ho, “street fightB are impossible and mm-
ders almost so. In Charleston, witb the
code in vogue, there was not a murder ia
twenty years. The code simply means
that two gentlemen in passion shall ieave
their dispute to two gentlemen who are
cool and disinterested.” His own death
seems to give weight to his argument.
Had his difference w.th Cox been left two
hours it woutd have been aettled.
He laughed to me a few months ago
when I noted him with an old enemy.
“Ob, I am getting cooler now. I think
I am going to break the old tradition
that the Alstons must die in their bools.’’
There was a flavor of sadness in thu re
mark I know that this vague horror of
a violent death overshadowed his whole
life. Wbat could have been mere pite
ous, to those who know the fire that lived
in the man’s heart, and the pride that
flashed through bis vein?, than tbe abjeot
way in which he tried to avoid the diffi
culty with Cox. How he avoided him,
dodged him, expostulated, begged for
peace—asked bis friends to interfere and
save him, and at last threw himself in
tke Treasurer’s chair and said: “How
awful it is so be hunted down by a man
who is determined to kill yon 1’ Ah—
Ged alone knew how that prond heart
was rung, and that gentle spirit tortured,
when it uttered that cry! And about
the last thing he did was to walk np to
Cor, lay his two bands gently on his
breast and looking into his enemy’s face
with that frank, winsome way of hi?,
say: “Ed, why should we have a diffi
culty ? I don't want to kill yon, and yon
oughtn’t to want to kill me?”
When st last ha saw that the fight
mast come he met it grandly and like
the man ha was. When Cox with his
pistol in his band turned to lock the door
for the death straggle, how easily Alston
coaid have killed him. Bat not There
he sat calmly awaitltag, until bis assail
ant had tnrned full npon him. Then he
aroee deliberately, and stood nerved for
the deadly shock. And he.met it like a
hero! He never stirred from his tracks.
He stood ereot, his head thrown back in
the old royal way, half wheeling on his
heels at each shot to confront his enemy,
who dodged and jamped from one* side
of'the room to the otber. When bis pis
tol snapped, and he knew his life was
gone, he never blanched or dodged. He
turned toward Nelms, his friend, smiled,
and without a frown met his death in the
old Alston way!
There waa a touching thing done by
Kd. Mercer, who always loved Alston
passing well. He knew of Alston’s fear
that he wonid die a violent death, he
eatd, with tears in his eyes, “Poor Bob;
he shall not die in hia boot?,” and he
tenderly palled them off. At the bed
side tbe scene was heart-rending. The
pcor wife, holding her hnsband’e hand
and calling on him in the most piteous
tone?. Near her kneeled Governor Col
quitt praying aloud, his voice so broken
that hs oonld not syllable bis words.
Around "the bed stood friends With uncov
ered heads and streairiDg eyes, while the
crowd thronged outaido the door eager
for the slightest bit of news. On tho
bed, peaceful and resigned, his eyes rest
ing fondly on his wife or lifted now and
then to some friend, ley the sufferer,
Ab, eurely, in God’s mercy, here was the
pcasefaldeath he had prayed for! Surely
here was a peace that mocked all earthly
storms—a peace that smiled at the ghast
ly hole in the tempi? and the blood-staiae
— a legacy of peaoe that would enrich his
son beyond all measure—a peace that
“pasjeth understanding.”

Tbe Spring Frosts.
The mind of the gardener jast sow re
volves the problem whether or not to
venture npon seeding the tender vegeta
bles—the squashes, melons, cucumbers,
snsps and other beans, and all that class
of vegetables to whioh frost is fatal, and
which are net transplanted from the hot
bed or cold frame.
The probability of late frosts this
year sec-ms to be great. With the mercury
dally ranging between seventy and eigh
ty, such forebodings look now a little
unseasonable, and the temptations to ex
pensive ventures in planting are great.
Bat when a killing frost comes, it oacurs
to alias the most natural thing in the
world.
What increases the probability of a late
froat this year is the nunsual accumula
tion of snow in tbe North, and tho wide
range of snow-covered landrcape which
a regular Northwester mast sweep over
before it readies Georgia.
Tbe fall moon in April is this year pnt
down for the Gib, and Grist’s almanac,
ooming with all the. authority of Hunt,
Rankin & Lamar, contains this ominous
suggestion: “Mnoh winds and bad weath
er may now cooar, sh'ch will be hot to
bring large frosts at this full moon ” To
this authority may b9 added that old
weather-saw, that when March comes in
like a lamb, it gees ont like a lion.
It will not do, therefore to be misled
by this summer temperature in the flnt
weeks of spring. Old Jack ha* not yet
quit the field. But we might, peihsp?,
in tbe matter of early vegetables split
the difference with the hoary old gen
tleman. Melons and other early vegeta
bles of the kind phnted in bills can be
protected with no great tronble and then
fresh seed cm be tbres: in the bill every
few days so that if any are cat off by frost
their places will be supplied st once.
Tbe Irish potatoes, which are now
coming np like Jonah’s Gonrd, are among
tbe most difficu t of tbe garden problem?.
Points whioh seem on the other hand
to favor an early spring are the early
breaking np of the Notthern rivers and
the early depaitnreof the migrating birdp.
Bnt we aball see what we shall see.

WI8H BOTH TO COPT OR HAKE A
NOTB.
So long as Middle Georgia is so largely
dependent cn East Tennessee for food
supplies it i* important that the trade
shall bs eatisfactoiy to both. East Ten
nessee, for illustration, ships large quan
tities of bntter to Georgia, which, when
ever it has been handled with anything
approximating reasonable care, is sold
readily at fair prioee.'and gives satisfac
tion. Bnt a large part of it is lost either
to purchasers or consignees from the mest
inexcusable negligence on tho part of
producers or shippers.
The producers violate the most fundo*
mental usages in putting up. The bat
ter, as it comes from the churn, should
be carefully worked in the coolest water
that can be procured, so as to free it
from every particle of bntter milk. It
should not be worked with the hand, but
with a wooden paddle, in a wooden bowl,
and successive lavations applied until the
water ceases to be colored witb tbe
milk, and then it, the batter,
should be salted to taste. A proper
washing will require fire changes of wa>
tor.
How long will milk keep sweet in the
climate of Eist Tennessee or.Georgia?
In cool weather, perhap* two or three
days—in warm weather, not one day.
Now, just as long a* milk will keepsweer,
just ao long will butler full of butter
milk keep eweet—that is to say, two to
three or four days, and no longer. What,
then, is the nse of shipping butter to
Georgia foil of buttermilk t N one at all.
It is a criminal waste. Tho butter is
rancid before it reaches here, and is good
for naught bnt soap-grease.
Northern and Western bntter is ship
ped ana keep* sweet and sound until it
can be distributed and oonsumed; but
Eist Tennessee butter, as to a very large
proportion ot it, ia lost by lacking only
that simple and easy precaution of proper
working in cold water, until it has been
perfectly freed ot the bntter milk.
It farmers are too indotent to attend
to this simple matter, wby should not
shippers in the country store?, where it
is gathered, procure it to be done, tnd
paok the batter in eaeh condition a?, at
least, to give it R chanoe to ooms to con
sumers in presentable shape ? It oan
hardly be possible that the saving of such
a heavy waste »nd loss sbodld not afford
a wide margin to compensate the little
trouble of preventing it.
Now tbe Telegraph his so little oiren
lation in E»?t Tenneasee thatweeek eor
Knoxville contemporaries to interest
themselves in this matter, and try to set
on foot a more ialntary and economical
praoiioe. Tbe waite is pitiable and cau
ses great dissatisfaction in the trade
