TUE tihOROlA PKK8S.
Sabbith Breaking.—Every Protest-
Mtt pas or in CoJumbuSj by agreement
jjreachfd last Sunday against the grow
ing evil of vitiating God’a Holy Day.
Concert of action in all tbe pnlpitsof the
country, would doubtless do much fo-
j&rda abating this aiD, which in some
oities, if not legitimized, is at least, open
ly tolerated.
A Brave Act.—Augusta News: This
qlerniug about 3:30 o’clock, as a gentle-
b£so and lady were riding on horseback
MUt tb« Georgia Railroad shops, tbegen-
fleman's horse became frightened and
fished ett at a forions speed. Tbe lady's
ktorso became unmanageable, and she
would certainly hare been thrown - and
tttdly injured but for the timely arrival of
private Couturier, of tbe police for ce, who,
qpsbing up ty the ungovernable horse.
Held him till the gentlent-in returned and
Uie fright was over. Too much praise
Cfsnoi bp given (branch a brave and fear-
Css act, and be certainly deserved the
thank:* w.Ach wero freely uttered by
those whom bo had so highly favored and
OTed from injury.
A New Steamboat Lise to Chablxs-
T0n.—Savannah News: The steamer Cl-ar-
etd >n arrived here on Saturday from
Charleston by the inside route. Wa un
due and that this is an experimental trip
fpr ibu purpose of ascertaining whether
s line between tbo two cities, touching at
the various inland towne, can be reeder-
S 1 enoceeafnl. Before the late war, and
rsome time after its close, this route
^as a lucrative one, and there is every
(seson to believe that it will now prove
remunerative. Beaufort, Buffton, Port
Royal, St. Helena, and the rarinss other
places between this city and Charleston,
Ua now fairly prosperous, and with such
facilities as a steamer would offer, an in
crease of business to ail of them, as well
ay to tbe two cities, might be expected.
' A CiitHCHXH.—Tcomabviile Times: Two
K it--, one from Boston and too other
m Patlsdelphis, ore snending the win
ter here. While engaged in a religious
^Hcns-ion (ladies will talk you know) the
qtber day, the question of tbe “new
birth’' whs brought up. The one from
Boston exprrs-ed acme doub'a on the
S fejeot. Her adversary said she was net
irpriscd, as people who were born in
oston did not think it neoesvary to be
born again. Thi9 was equivalent to call
ing *be previous question.
Db. Teasdale is conducting a very
fiuocesefnl series of religious services in
Thotnaevule. •
Nine Shots Fibid at the Tows Mab
<39al ot FuB-tth.—Monroe Advertiser:
Qa last Tuesday night we had anotbt?
exhibition of tbe spirit of lawlessness
Which is becoming so rife in the country.
Three young men, two Kelleys and
auoi her named Couch, came over from
Jasper county to carry out eomu guano
for Mr. Greer, with whom they are
working. After nightfall they remained
is a bar-room until about ton o'clock,
looking at tbe playing of billi&td*. They
bad drunk eome whisky, but if they were
at all mtoxioated, it was not noticed
They were quiet enough whilst in the
bar-room. Tney were camping out at
the warehouse near the depot, and, leav
ing the saloon, they started thither. In
stead of going to camp, however, they
went to the church of the colored people,
disturbed the worship and carried off
With them to the warehouse two colored
boys, nearly grown, Oliver Thomas and
A half-witted fellow called orazy Dick.
These boys were whipped unmercifully.
Some cf the colored people came up town
for the marshal, who went, accom
panied by bomeyoung men. He arrested
them andstarted to jml with them. Wnen
nearly opposite Major Proo tor's hotel,
one of them asked the marshal to step to
one etde and he would explain the matter,
^hile talking with the marshal, be drew
a pistol, and tbe marshal attempted to
lake it from him, and called one of the
joni g men to assist him. Just then the
Other two enmmenoed shooting st the
marshal. He let loose tbe one he held
and a general firing commenced. Niue
phots were fired st the marshal, and he
phot four times at the roughs. Marshal
MoOune eaoaped unhurt. The night was
* very dark and they escaped, the marshal
pursuing them seme distance. A wagon
end two moles were captured. Oa Fri
day morning Mr. Greer came over from
Jasper oonnty and olatmed the wagon and
mules, and-they were delivered to him.
He says one of the Kelleys received a
slight wound in the knee from one of tbe
Shots fired at them. He asked tbe city
cotme'.l to cemprombe by imposing a
fine, if they wished, a heavy one, bnt tbe
oouncil begged to be excused, and have
obtained warrants for assault with intent
to murder. If they can be caught they
will be tried before the Superior Court; if
they escape they must live as outlaws.
Tut bondsmen of Mr. S. R. Potto, the
defaulting and absconding postmaster at
Forayth. who emigrated to Texas and left
them to face the music, have settled with
the United States Marshal in Savamfah
for the deficit, amounting to $900. Pity
the principal could not have been arrest
ed and made to fork over.
Gbifxin Ban: Even tbe staid old Ma-
cod Ixleobafs abd Ugosni fcaa re
peated with editorial endorsement the
story about Judge Lester getting a score
cr more of pistols out of the pockets of
the men in ouo oourc room. We believe
tbe Etatement is entirely false, and ia a
slandernpon the people of Georgia.
We would be obliged to our contem
porary if he would prove the falsity of
the above statement, which has never be
fore been called in question. We would
certainly correct it
How ro Make One Cucombeb Pbo-
upce Several.—An exchange says:
Woen-* cucumber is taken from a vine,
1st it be cut with a koife, leaving about
the eights of an inoh of tho cucumber oa
the stem; then alit the stem with a knife
from the end to the vine, leaving a por
tion of the cucumber on each ditisim;
and on each separate slip there will be a
new cucumber as large as the first.
Gbivpxn A’eics: Our young ladies will
have to tie d »wn their hearts when the
‘•Defiance” boys come np from Macon.
They are a dasby set—the boys we mean.
How to Raise the Wind—Monroe
Aiverliyr: Whenever the Georgia
treasury is in need of funds, instead of
calling on the tax payers, Governor Col
quitt ju-thires a lawyer, and sends him
to Washington. He resurrects a -claim
against the Federal Government, collects
it and the treasury ot Georgia grows fat.
About a quarter of a million ha-gone in
to tbe ttt*asury m this manner. We
would ask the independent press if an
“independent” governor could neat our
“ring” governor in raising money ?
The taxable property of At'anta has in
creased $4,000, according to the returns
cf the asMsEora, within the last year.
A Neighborly Aot—Forest News:
List year Mr. Joe Thurmond cleared up
a new-ground, which be broke np and
planted dn corn before he had time to
lease it; tur, strange to say, it made
corn. The reason waa that Mr. Thur
mond’s neighbors putoff th-ir stock un
til be cculd build a fence. We like those
kind o) neighbors.
The AVuUdTA Fire.—Oar readers are
aware that on the past Sabbath, about 1
p. m. when the wind waa at its highest,
the Freedman's hospital at Augusta, took
fin and dps totally consumed. Provi
dentially all the inmate-, Sitec-n in num
ber, sev.-val of tnvm t-(1 rd ten, were
aaved ar/&g>rip< rlv tar d tor Tho Chron-
V3s and Constitutionalist says:
of trying to save some *of the furniture.
Just ns they were entering the back door
the portico of the second floor fell in a
burning mica directly upon their heads.
The negro managed to extricated himself
without ipjury, trdt Mr.'Jfcri^eM Was bon
ed beneath the burning timber and wqald
probably have perished had aot-the negro
caught ntm by the feet and—j-?rkedhitn
our. The unfortunate man was horribly
burned about tbs head, faoe and , hands.
He wai oarried to the City Hospital and
received every attention, but is was
thongnt yesterday that his recovery- was
doubtful. Very little of the'furniture
and bedding waa saved, the fire' having
made such rapid headway as to mike.it
impossible to get much of tbs property
out. Dr. Gt-rcka lost hiapersonal furni
ture and clothing. The hospital was built
ia 1899. It was insured fox #5,000, in the
Fire Association, of Poilidelpnia, and the
Westchester Insurance Company, of New
York, companies represented by Mr. C.
W. Harris, of this city. As thdeoet bf
material and work ia leas f hah in 1889, as
good a building can probably be put-
up for that amount. * *
The fire originated in a vacant room in
the son'-beart, corner of the atoond story,
need for storing mattresses. This room
had not fceeu opened for nine days, and
there is no aosouncing for the flee exoept
on tne score of a defective fl te. '
Afterwards there were several other
alarm*, and the firemen had a hard day's
work of it. .
Judge Snead very properly declines
mixing himself np with a municipal con
test over wbiob be bad no jurisdiction.
SOBoon Hen x Blown Down.—Savan
nah News: Oa Sundry, daring the heavy
wind t-torrn, ibe colored school bouse

NbwCbxeds.—The Constitution says:
Tnere are several colored enurches in
Atlanta, independent of all others, with
a faith cf their own.

ported Dr. Felton against Judge Lester,
for CoogreM, in the 7 h district, publishes

The following precious morceau appears
in a late number of the New York Chris
tian Advocate:
1861—1879!—This week the Lsgiala-
live depar m-nl of the Uaitsd Btstes fads
into tbe haods of the men who rated in
1861. They have the same spirit that Bo
osted them when tney went ont. Toe
field was the weak place in ’61. therefore,
they struck with tbe sword. The' treat
ary ib tha weak piaoe no#; therefore, we
may expect the blow there.
Having lived to bear enlcgiea pronoun
ced in tbe United States Senate on Jeff
Davis, the author of the starvation poli
oy of Aoderaonville, and the great repu-
diator ot earlier days, we are prepared
to see him pushed tor any poar. Wo feel
that the Democrats of tbe North will be
helpless now a* they were before.
The spirit of 1861, revived in 1879,
mnst bs judged by its history. The poi -
oning of Harrison and Taylor, and tbe
attempted poisoning of Buchanan, -and
tbe snooting of Lincoln, the killing of

AlBociotra Talk —Wo give below an
utterance by the editor of the New York
Christian Advocate, tue Ssv. C. H. Few
ler, D.D, LL.D, late fraternal messen
ger, etc., to the Methodist E. Church
South. We venture tho opinion that no
man in the United States oan beat the
doughty ‘dootor at tbis kind of thing.
Oqr readers will-remember him also as
one of the Yankee gushers in tbe graat
religious garnering Which was held io
Atlanta a year ago. Then he fairlj
preached peace and'fraternity and wen-
into extaciea over the fact that the
hatchet had been buried and now the
ohnreh, North and. South, should become
a unit oud vie with each other in acts of
brotherly love. Now, he out Herods
Herod in the opposite direction. It is
to be hoped that tha sleeping conscience
ot our people will be aroused when remind
ed of the terrible crimes they have com
mitted. Think of it, Hsrrison and Tay
lor successfully poisoned to death, Buch
anan narrowly'escaping tbe same fate,
and Lincoln shot in cold blocd.
Bis-dea all this, they have been
guilty, saya Dr. Fowler, of the un-
paralled crime of glorifying Jeff Davis in
C-mgreBe, who, we are told, was tne “au
thor of the starvation policy of Ander-
sonville and the great repudiator of
eatlier days.” Well! after this can we
expect quarter ttom that pseudo frater-
nizsr and those of hie ilk P Let the
South, therefore, prepare to lose then
sc rips or resolve to become more “solid ’
than ever.
We doubt if Grant and his allies can
possibly succeed in securing a more bla
tint and devoted bloody-shirt waver and
whipper-in of the Radical, fanatical crew
than the foul and Reverend F >wler. In-
gersoll and himself are par nolilcfratrum.
and it is imporotble to decide to «Uoio
tbe pa'm ebon d be awarded for whole
sale slander and hatred of our people. It
•a fortunate, ho*ever, that such shots a-
Dr. Fowler fires will prove veritable
Doomernngs, returning to wound nims-1'
only. Utterances like bis are too bald,
faced to deceive any one, and will be re
ceived with loathing aud contempt even
by the good m»n of bin own party.

A BR11I3H DISEASE.
The most marked peculiarity that will

men or bankers if seen in Boston or New
York. Ia brief, he labors uud:r tbe
popular though mistaken impression that
obesity is invariably the combined result
of laziness and high living; while in
reality it is a constitutional disease. Un
til very recently there was no known
remedy for this uncomfortable disease,
and it* victims were obliged to submit
to the vexitiun and not infrequent mor-
i ificstion that it occasions. Ai isn’s Anti-
F*t is the ody remedy for this disease,

The Devil Fun.— Oue of the fisher
men employed by Larco, says the Santa
Barbara (California) Press, in drawing
bis net recently, entangled in its meshes
a devil fish of large size. The ugly thing
was so cntaDgled, and held on with such
tenacity, that it was brought into the
boat only after tearing the net badly.
Tbe body of tbe monster is an elongated
oval about fiiteen inches wide, and four
feetlong from tbe head to tbo end of the
.pear-shaped tail. The mouth, orrather
beak, is exactly like the mandibles of a
hawk, aud is placed underneatn the body.
The long arms or feelers, of which there
are eight, radiate from around this beak,
and the largest of them are upward of
seven feet in length, making eleven feet
from tbe end of the two longest tenta
cles to the tip of the tail. Tbe other
urms are from four to five feet long. Tbe
under side of these feelers for about two
feet from the tip is armed with rows of
sharp pointed hooks, increasing in size
as they approach tbe end, whore they
terminate in veritable talons. The tody
is of a reddish-gray color on top, and a
pale salmon pink underneath. The un
der side is covered with email suckers,
possessing considerable power of snstion.
The Georgia Gazbtteeb.—Atlanta

of a “Gdorgia Gazetteer and Directory/"
a work that has been long needed in tbfe

The fact that the work ia in the bands of

isa guarantee that it will be one of the
oomplotest of its kind ever issued in the

The book in question will be a valuable
contribution to the buicets men of Georgia.

Heads and anils.
As we read tfie papers, the main ques
tion seems to ba,. particularly among the
opposition, dbstft the President’s “back
bone.” Haa he the “SoeiioHe” to hold
out against the judgment of tbe country
oaths matter of. Federal draggonadesin
State elections ? Will he slitk «tiI and
etarvo the country ih order to stifle the
ballot P ,
Ab, how much better it would be, in
those matters, if all parties would con
sult their .heads and their hearta instead
bftbgjt backbones! The goodness«f
God has endowed ur in tbe United States
of America With a heritage far ear-
passing id" beauty, value and grandner
any which ha ever bestowed upon any
other people sinoe that world began. The
men, whatever they may call tbemielves,
who will lightf J hazard its peace and
tranquillity, or seek to obatruot its career
on.points of mere personal pride or preju
dice, or fo? the chanoe of petty partisan
game, are felso Ip their trusts and rer
• lonaibilitiee. Such men cannot long
direct a party or lead the public mind
unless Aissriosna have come down to the
level ot mudlarks and are content to
grovel and wriggle in the mod together.
There moat be some inspiration of elevat
ed sentiments and aims in our politics, or
they will sicken all that is pure and noble,

-* A Mean Ret.
Secretary Gotham, late of the United
States Senate, and the financial agent for
the Republican catnpaigu of 1878, gives
ne a low opinion of bis constituents in
Washington. Ont of $105,000 which he
collected to run “der maaheeu,” all bnt
$13,000 wa3 wrung out of those of poor
department clerks, who, eveiy week, are
obliged to portion out their pay in three
equal part* for bread, washing end
clothes, and danoe a hornpipe if a sur
plus dime iB left.
This ought not to be eo. Those lead
ing Republican magnates lu Washington,
like John Saarmen, havo managed, in
some way, to ptls np their millions in
Ridio.l public life, and it is a shame for
them to pnt ad tbe coats on tbe boys in
the departments. Salf-re9peot demands
an explanation.

limit to man’s inventive genius, and his
powers of combination bid fair ere long
to form imitations and cheap substitutes
for every thing that has hitherto been
deemed unique aud valuable. Tbis is
illustrated by counterfeit diamonds of
paste the very coun erparts of tho origi
nals, the many uses to whieh gutta
percha, celluloid,ricc and other materials
which cost but little may be applied, and
in divers other instances. Man’s high in

thing save the preservation from decay
and dissolution of bis own mortal tene
ment of flesh. But it is appointed nnto

Making Lumber From Straw
A gentleman from Ba.hnell, Illinois,
recently exhibited some samples of lum
ber, which have attracted much atten
tion among tho lambermrn, and wbiob, if
it possesses all the virtues that are
claimed for it, is one of the mest impor
tant inventions of its kind ever brought
to notice. If it is a success it will form a
new eta in the art of building. To make
hard wood lumber ont of common wheat
straw, with all effects of polish and finish
which is obtainable on the hardest of
black walnut and mahogany, at as little
cost as clear pine lumber can be made
up for. is certainly wonderful. 8uch are
t« claims of the inventor for the straw-
board lumber which he has been exoibit-
ing in this city, and the samples which
he produces would go far toward verify
ing hiB claims. The procets of manuiao-
tureis as foilowi:

This age is a progressiva one, and im
provements are continually suggesting
themselves in almost every department
of human life. Ltbor-saviog invention*
and machinery are eagerly sought for, to
accomplish in a few hours’ time, what
usually was the toil ot diys and even
weeks. The farm, the household, tbe
work-hop, the factory, all possess unmis
takable evidences of Ur's wonderful age
of progress. It remained, however, for
tbe eminent house of Lord & Taylor, well
known as one of the leadiog dry good*
firms of New York City, to introduce vast
improvements in tbe old shopping meth
od, and to make "shopping easy” for
every lidy in the country. There is now-
no excuse for ladies to fatigue themselves
with travel, and to uaderso its hundred
and one annoyances, when they can par.
chase every artqsfe needed for tbe ward
robe or housgha&>without leaving thi-ir
homes..- Messrs. Laid St Taylor will send,
on application^ JEree pf charge, samples ol
any of the newest pries goods for 8pnog
and Summer wear, which they advertise,
with prices attached to each. Selections
from these ate readily, made; orders for
goods reoe'ved, fiilud by the house, and
returned by fast trains to the purchaser.
This sural? is a material improvement
Jot the flow method of farmer days, as by
this system, time, money, labor- and au-
noyaccee are all saved. The business
standing of this eminent house makus
tbis announcement worthy of Attent on,
