—According to lha London Troth Tewflk,
the new Khedive of Egypt, knows English.
04 bis private estates at Coubih treepaeeera
are confronted with a notice in the following

—It ia cne of the best proofe cf a gennine
revival of business that in the last six
months $14,624,000 have been invested in
railioad building, most of it In a few Wes
tern States. The roads in question hive
consumed nearly $8,009,000 of eteel and iron
rails.
—The con and ball’on in the Bonk of
England In the laet week of Jnno reached
$175,717,600, the largest emeunt over mu
sed there. At the eamo time the Binkof
France held noirly $459,000,000, and the
Bank of Germany $141,000,000. Nothing is

.—Basinoss, says the Montgomery Advor-
sir, is reviving all around us. Even Flori-
A is now shipping 6,000 head of cattle mon-
hl^'to Cuba, with tbo prospeit foranin-
jt'ease in the demand. The shipments of
Texas oattle to Cuba aro also large, giving
regular ccospation to several of tbe Morgan
steamships, andpoia cue of fever among
them.
—The itrryis told that Longfellow and
Fields wore making a abort pedoitrian tour
eomo few years ago, when to their surprise
ai angry bull atood ia tbo pathway, evident
ly intending to demolish both poet and pub
lisher. ‘I think,’add Felds, -that It will be
prudent to give ttls reviewer aaide margin.*
‘Yes,’ replied the post;‘it appor-s to be a
di.-putcd paesego.”
—At tbo Court of Eglani it is no longer a

With the Princess Beatrico, Qaeon Victoria’s
youngest and only unmarried daughter. Ho
hoped that by going to Zolnland and winning
the Victoria cross by eomo act of valor the
many difflcnllieo in the way of an alliance
might be overcome; but it would have re
quired an act of Parliament to permit the
girl to marry a Catholic.

the fact for the first time in the htoto:/ of
the country the exportation of breadstuff!

—A distinguished physician who had spent
much time at quarantine said that a person
whose head waa thorougly washed every
day rarely took contagious diseases, but
where the hair was allowed to become d'-ty
and malted, it waa hardly possible to escape
infection. Many persons find speedy relief
for nervous headache by wishing the ha’r
thoroughly in weak eoda water. I have
known severe cues almost wholly cu-ed In
ten m'nutee by this simply remedy. A friend
finds it tbe greatest relief in cases of ‘rare
cold,’tbe oold symptoms entirely leawng
the eye and nose, after one thorough wash
ing of the hair. The hoad should be thorou
ghly dried afterwards, and aYOid draughts
of air for a little while.
—Prince Jeromo Bonaparte, tho sus:oseor
of tho Prince Imperial ae head of the houso,
is known, eaya tho Sun, by appearoance to
many New Yorkers, having visited this city
in 1861, in his yacht, and atayed for a consi
derable time at theKew York Hotel. Whan
his features aio in repose ha.it the image of
the first Napoleon; bat tho great Napoleon's
smile was f all ef sweetness, while Plan Pious
is fall of bitterness. He is said by thoee
who know him best to possess ab.lity, but be
has an air of indolence. By refusing to go
to tho Crimea ho acquired a reputation in
Franca for cowardice. Ha lives separate
from his wife, the Princess C'.othilde, who
resides in Italy. She is genlre and pious.
Eke was with her husband hero, and every
morning at7 o’clock went to hear mass at
the Jesuit chapel in Sixteenth street.
—A new American export trade has been
started, which promises to he more success
ful than tho exportation of cattla, hogs and
sheep, because the margin of profit is much
larger; and that ia the exportation of horses,
& cargo of which arrived in Havre on Sunday.
They are to be used in the French cavalry,
end having boon inspected by army officers,
were all acoepted at the highest prices paid
for French regiments—from $223 to $270.
Aathe Fronch Government is expending
such vaat earns for the equipment of its con
stantly increasing army, this will doubtless
prove an entering wedge for an extensive
afid lucrative trade, and tho high price of
horses in Europe will before long lead to
exportation to other countries than France.
The oost of shipment to Havre is still con
siderably greater than to Liverpool, but if
thatr&do becomes a permanent one more
favorable terms are confidently expected.
Tub BritiihChanrhlTunsei-—The great
tunnel under the British channel with which
it i s proposed to connect England and France
has not yet been fairly commenced, bnt tbe
engineers have sunk a shaft near S—gatte,
in order to ascertain the depth and currents
of the water. When these preliminary ex
periments aro concluded tbe work of making
the tunnel Itself will begin. Tbe shaft now
.being sank has a diameter of about nine
Tost, and is to go tho depth of 263 feet.
Work in tho shaft has been suspended for
tho last tkreo months, as tbo water comes
In so rapidly that it has been necessary to
construct a machine which w 11 extract 630
gallons per minute, or double what tho ma-
cbino first used canid remove. The shaft
has already been sunk to half tho propose!

Tbe British Cotton Mills.
That is a doleful report from the Old
ham Cotton Mills to bo fonnd in the
telegrams to-day—heavy loeses and run
ning expenses at the same time reduced
to the IoweBt notoh, bo that labor can be
reduced no more. A good part of them
so heavily involved that extrioatlon
under favorable circnnutanoes, most be
the work of yeare, and evidently must
ocma from lower cation and higher
goods. * . ...
Tho chance for any important decline
in the price of fibre seems to be email at
present. Daring all this time, too, it is
notorious that British cotton cloths have
lost reputation in the markets immense
ly from being fraudulently loaded with
fullei’d earth and flour in the shapo of
dressing. That fact is so notorious as to
form the subject of official remark in
Parliament.
We doubt not the British cotton manu
facturing interest has passed its zenith
and is on the decline, bat dislike ex
tremely to see each evidence of & rapid
decadence. Cotton is and mast be tbe
clothing of the poor—the grant mass of
mankind. The fabrio is now cheap al
most beyond example, and when we still
find tbe prod acts of the mills accumulat
ing in tho warehouses, it is a melancholy
proof that the poor are suffering. The
great cotton interest, in its last analysis,
rests on well employed and well compen
sated labor. Millions npon millions are
going ragged when oolton cloths cannot
be eold as faataa produced.
Tbo Opelika and Biloxi Alarms.
The Montgomery Advertiser reports
both tbe yellow fever oases at Opelika
from Memphis dead, and no farther out
break or alarm there. As to the Biloxi
report, Dr. A. J. Beese, of Mobile, and
Dr. Lyons, of Now Orleans, were dis-
p&tohed to visit that locality and ascer
tain the facts. A special to the Adver
tiser from Mobile makes this report of
their investigation, on th9 authority of
Dr. Besas:
Dr. Beeao relurnod fo Mobile yester
day, and we called on him and obtained
the following statement. The houses
where ths sickness exists is a mile and a
quarter from Ha-risruVi Station. It is a
tumble down a.m f a building, and is in
habited by a ivi. iy named CreeL Dr.
Beese says that xuo nurse informed bim
that on the 6 u in tiot alitils girl whs
had been to New Orieans returned and
was immediately takon siok, and died of
black vomit Th ee other members of
the family were taken sick on tbo 13tb,
and two more yesterday afternocn. Dr.
Eeese thinks that the disease is yellow
fever. He does not think there ia danger
of its spreading, ss tbe house is complete
ly isolated, b9ing 400 yards from any
other building. Dr. Beese heard a minor
in the neighborhood that the house had
been used ss a yellow fever hospitBl last
season. Dr. Beese says that Dr. Lyons,
while stating positively that there was no
fever in New Orleans, agreed with him
that the case examined was yellow fever.
There is no reason for any alarm among
onr people on account of the30 cases of
sicknesr. The Board of Health will in
vestigate tbe matter.
Tne Mayor of New Orieans again tele
graphs the Mayor of Montgomery on tho
231 that there ia not a single case of yel
low fever in the Crescent City. This in
answer to a statement of a report afloat in
Montgomery that thero were forty cases
in Now Orieans. So stark, pop-eyed,
wonder-seeking gossip displays its ac
tivity at each times. Montgomery her
self is declared to be in the enjoyment of
unnenal health.
Majority Report or tbo Wild
Bana Committee.
We are in reoeipt of the ponderous vo!
nme containing tho printed evidence be-
f are tbe Wild Lind Committee, and of
ter glancing over a considerable portion
of its contents, are constrained to sub
scribe to most of the conclusions and
recommendations of tho majority of the
members of the General Assembly who
composed that body. Tho amount of
patience and keen research displayed,
and the conspicuous impartiality exhibit
ed by the peopib’s servants in the exami
nation of witnesses and the whole con
duct of tho investigation, entitle them to
the gratitude of tho country as well as
liberal compensation for extra work ren
dered.
That there have been huge frauds per
petrated does not admit of the shadow of
adonbt, and now it rests with the Legisla
ture to ferret them out and bring to con
dign pnnishment tbe men who have
swindled tbe State, .besides, if possible,
forcing them to disgorge their ili.gotten
gains. For several of the parties, if the
evidence elicited by tho committee can
be substantiated, the penitentiary is tbe
most fitting abode for a long term of
years. Bnt it would b3 wrong to particn-
larizo on ex parte testimony, and all we
can da is to enjoin npon onr representa
tives to probe to tbo lowest depths these
alleged frauds and expose every body and
every thing connected with thorn.
To act otherwise would be simply un
covering dishonesty and then condoning
it.

LicdieaUe Address
YViiat snouia bo Done lor
Memphis.
The condition of this ill-fated city must
challenge the pity and sympathy of ev
ery section of tbe Union. By their own
ill-considered acts, bnt more especially
throagh tho devastating strokes of a
mysterious Providence, its inhabitants
have been reduced to the greatest straits,
and bankraptcy and penury stare them
in the face. For eoms time without an
organized government, the city being
tamed over to the protection of the oon-
etabulary and civil authorities, it coaid
not bo expected that proper sanitary steps
would be enforced. Thu has unfortu
nately resulted, as was feared, in the re
appearance of the terriblo scourge of ths
past year, at a date so early as to threat
en decimation, if not almost total de
struction of the people.
What, then, can ba done ia behalf of
the poor sufferers, and to prevent the
spread of tho contagion abroad? We
can divine no batter course .than to move
the inhabitants bodily (those who do not
possess the meauBof leaving) to the near
est unoccupied, salubrious site, where,
either in tents or rough shanties, they
may literally camp ont for several months,
until the epidemic haa expended its vio
lence and it is safe to retnrn to their
homes. To accomplish this, the State
authorities snl the General Government
ought to combine, and famish all the re
quisite tents and rations to the impecu
nious and efflicted inhabitants. Human
ity forbids that they should be left to
perish like sheep with tho mnrrain in their
plague stricken city. This course, prop
erly pursued, would coon starve out the
fever, and it would die for lack of materi
al. Memphis should also be surrounded
by a coidon of State or Federal troops,
who should picqnet it3 approaches, and
protect as far as possible the exposed
property of the absentees. Even now,
the telegrams tell of a threatened inva
sion of negro and white bandits, who
hope to enrich themselves by the epoils
of the poor snffereis.
If the above suggestions could by
proper effort ba inaugurated, they would
go far to abate the horrors of the situa
tion, and perhaps kill in its incipienoy
the fatal disease, whose spread would
carry mourning and financial rain to the
households of thousands. Sorely there
is charity enough in tho country to make
up all the necessary funds to accomplish
the above programme, even if it were
necessary to raise and pay the volunteers
charged with guarding and watching
over the property of the doomed city.
Wiiat is to Become of Mem
phis?
As the air i3 fall of dolefal wails over
the commercial tain of Memphis, the fol
lowing suggestions from the Knoxville
Tribune may be interesting jast for a
change:
Oar dispatches actnslly tell ns of re
movals of great wholesale houses and
solid banks, nevertheless Memphis will
always be a city and a great olty. There
is no account in history of a oity having
been permanently abandoned by its in
habitants on acsonntof recurring plagues,
and msny have suffered more than Mem
phis. Sue might have the yellow fever
every sammei; each summer solstioa
might send her people away panio
stricken, but every frost would bring
them back; because money can be made
there.
Memphis is one of the best if not the
beBt, money making cities in the Unitad
States. It has a vast and fertile tributa
ry territory to whioh it is the natnrr’ ont'
let. ’ lb receives each year about one h If
m 'lion br'es of tbe finest cotton in the
world. The cotton will oome so long as
the 3 are buyers and the buyers will
come so long as there ia cotton. It may
eonnd harsh, bnt a general failure of the
crop around the oity wonld be of more
injury than an epidemic* with all its ter
rible soenee of sickness and death. The
commeree that flow3 into a well located
oity is like the streams that supply an
inland sea.
Drain the sea as often as yon please, it
will be refilled; bat divert the streams
and the sea will become dry. The yet
low fever, if it comes too often, may pre
vent the growth of Memphis, but this
very fact, by reduoing competition, will
make business more profitable to the cit
izen; and this is one reason why business
men in that oity, New Orieans, Galveston,
and other like places, make money and
spend money easier and faster than those
of citieB like Atlanta, Knoxville, etc.,
whose salubrious climate and health-giv
ing atmosphere invite all mankind to
come and oempete for the trade of their
country.

Revival ot tua Hebrew War,
New Tork is in the tiffieks again on
the matter ot a social ornsade Bgainst the
Hebrews. Tne President of one of tbe
Coney I mi Hotel end Bailway Com
panies li nog signified an indisposition
to transport and entertain the lsraelitish
papulation of New York, the whole press
of the city is earnestly and .snperfln-
onsly down on the folly, illiberality and
injustice of such discriminations on ac
count of raos. Wa say superfluously,
because the good sense of tho 'country
wonld find a unanimous verdiot against
it, without argument.
It is oontrary to reason and the genins
and spirit of our people and institutions.
Tae Herald expends miny columns on
tbe subject, and in its number of Thurs
day, after rating tbe Jewish population
of New York at fifty thonsand, says :
In all tho elements of good citizenship
tbe Hebrews of New York may chal
lenge comparison with the representa
tives of every other race that enters into
the aggregate of the population, and in
some they are incontestably enperior.
Hebrew culprits are tan in the criminal
coarts. A Hebrew panper in the public
almshouse is almost unexampled. Thrif
ty, orderly and charitable, these fifty
thonsand citizens contribute at least their
proportionate share to the welfare of
the community in which (bey aro equal
citizens with tne two Corbins.
Tho whoje American newspaper prcs3
will endorse a similar declaration on the
character and standing of tho Jewish
people in its vicinage.
The iact is the Almighty oommitted no
mistake of selecting & race of inferior
endowments as tbe chosen people. The
Jews, physically and intellectually, poss
ess a marked ability, and, under condi

brilliant career lies behind and before
them. In every town and oity they
represent a wealth and influence far bs-
yond tbelr numerical proportion, and
every intelligent man can eee'that these
are destined to a rapid increase in the

The Mississippi Talley.
Under the head of “Sanitation in the
Mississippi Valley,” the Nashville Ameri
can prints a long editorial from which we
take the following and add a few sugges
tions below it:
The lower Mississippi Valley and the
commercial cities of the South will not
and cannot be allowed to. become the
abodes of bats and owls. With im
provement of the Mississippi, better
drainage, large areas of swamp re
claimed and opened to sunlight and air,
larger settlements of productive lands,
the power of disease will be broken.
Measures in the interest of commerce
and agricaltare will of themselves largely
relieve the Sruth of liability to disease.
The effect of settlement of a country npon
its health, and especially npon the pecu
liar character of disease arising largely
from paludal conditions, is well knpwn.
It will be only necessary to let sanitary
science keep pace in preventing the pe
culiar conditions which arise from the
crowding together cf men.
This low valley ef tho Mississippi, and
of its tributaries, is an almost unsettled
wilderness. Tbe large prodnetion of that
region has closed the eyes of the world to
the fact that it ib really an unsettled
oauntry in comparison with what it
ought to be, and with what its soil and
productiveness entitle it to be. Pari
passu, with this improvement, pattly soi-
eutifio and with direct objeat of health,
and partly commercial and economical,
improvement most go on in those coun
tries, whioh are, after all, the true abode
of yellow fever. However, the eeeda of
disease may survive and reproduce them
selves a second or even a third season,
the evidence ia strongly persuasive that
the tropi03 is the real abode of tbe yellow
fever. A New York paper reoently urged
tbe co-operation of the United Slates with
Spain in placing Havana on a sanitary
footing, and thU co-operation ought to
attract the serious attention of Congress.
The United States can, at least, use its
influence, and the sanitary knowledge of
it3 men of solence in which it wonld have
the co-operation of all European commer-
ceal nations. It Is strongly believed that
the fonl and tidelees harbor of Havana is
the sole cause of yellow fever in that city,
and that a canal to the sea wonld obviate
all difficulty. A Yankee population in
Havana, or an English or a Frenoh popu
lation, would, at least, leave no visible
cause for yellow fever, nor sit down sub
missive nntl every means had been ex
hausted.
The first great point in this conntry is
(o render local conditions ae favorable ae
possible. This is not the logical process,
which is to attack general canses first,
bnt it is the practicable process. Locali
ties can give themselves thorough drain
age, perfect cleanliness, and remove all
local and snrronnding occasions of dis
ease, assuring themselves at least that
no local occasion shall co-operate with
general oanses of ill health, that epidem
ic disease shall not strike a people
already enfeebled by diseases having
a local cause. Sanitary science can
regulate trade and travel, and keep
watch against the transmission of dis
ease. The settlement of the conntry,
reclamation ot swamps, clearing np,
draining, improvement of rivers, and the
application of Eanitary science to foreign
cities where disease ia bred, are matters
requiring more time, but they are a
work certain of steady and gradual par-
formance. Both should go along to-
gather, and if either precede it should bo
the latter, but that is impossible. It is
the duty of the people of the South to
calmly do the duty of each year, making
all possible progress and steadily to agi
tate for the work of greater magnitude.
It is a work in which the people oE the
entire oonntry, and especially of the
entiro Mississippi Valley, have a vital
and abiding interest, commercially, so
cially and financially.
"Within a few days Captain Eida has
been paid another installment of half a
million dollars nnder hie contraot for
deepening the south channel of the Del
ta, which payment was conditioned upon
obtaining a depth of thirty feet. The ac
tual depth in this channel, before tbe
process of deepening, was six feet, show
ing that tho bottom has been lowered
twenty-fonr feet.

is, and it oan hardly be doubted that tbe
signal and complete snocess of the Eads’
scheme will beheld to demonstrate its
adaptability and effioionoy in appll
cation to the oatiro river.
Applied to tho entire course
of this magnifioent stream it will produoe
a steady and swift current, whioh [ia a
very short time, will sweep away tho silt
and debris whioh have been accnmnlating
for ages, and deepen tbe bed twenty foe
or more, giving in timo dry and bluff
banks where savannas and morasses now
exist.
With (he snrfaoe of (he river thns low
ered the whole oircumjacent conntry will
be drained and the channel, instead cf
filling np from year to yea? as it now
does, and demanding higher banks will
deepen antil by natural laws the process
is arreEtsd through a dimunitiou in the
foroe of the current.
ThtB process of drainage is indispouci-
ble, and cannot ba deferred without mag
nifying present and falnre oviis. Over
flows in the shape of crevasse, may be
hindered, for a time, by adding 11 the
height of the banks, bnt this will only in
crease the baok water and area submerged,

Sometime sinoalt was decided that the
Agricultural Club of Marehallville, whioh
for sear fifteen years has been in aottve
existence, should hereafter alternate with
Oglethorpe in its annual fairs. Under
this agreement the enterprising oitizsns
of this onoa famous bnainesa centre and
the Borrounding oonntry inaugurated
their first exposition to-day, and we must
say itisaaignalsuooess.

under the careful supervision of Mr.

A BIG WATEBU3L1H PATCH.
Twelve miles from Macou we passed
through the melon plantation of Mr.
Allen, covering an area of one hun
dred and thirty acres. It was a speoiaole
sufficient to turn the heads of all the
school boys in Georgia, aid had they
baen in eesy reaob, a Sherman-like ra
wonld most assuredly have been
made npon that field, even in th
faoe of a park of artillery. The luscious
f.-uit covered hillsido and vale so thickly
aa far as the oye could reach, that & nim-
b’o lad might have coursed over th®
whole eurface in any direction without
touching the earth, by merely jumping
from melon to melon. Many wero very
large, and the proprietor, if hie melons
wero a month eaiher, might realms a
small fortune from their sale. At pres
ent it wonld possibly prove more profita
ble to turn them into watermelon syrnp,
which is another new Georgia industry.
Oa the train were many skilful and
noted planters, such men as Major Fred
erick, Senator L. M. Felton and others.
From them we had full accounts of the
GROWING CROP3
m southwestern Georgia. On the whole,
the prospect is very far from being as
gloomy as bad been reported. It is trne
that large dry areas are spread over va
rious sections of the conntry. Thu3 Mr.
Fagin, who plants a short distance from
Fort Valley, says he has not had rain for
fen weeks, and his corn, and ootton too,
are almost a failure. Bat, per contra, his
neighbors, within three miles, have not
suffered a day, and beginning from Fort
Valley and traveling a3 far south aa
Sumter county, the writer believes the
land incapable of producing finer crops
than those that now greet the vis
ion. Ho saw corn that will yield
twenty bushels to the acre, and cotton
growing luxuriantly, and beginning to
lock between tbe rows. A gentleman from
Randolph oounty also, says the cotton
prospeot in that region is very fine, and
under the influence of recent copions
rains late corn is doing well, and the
pea crop is exceptionally good. He
thinks that with the aid of the old corn
that will be left over, and the large
amount of small grain harvested, the
farmers will be ablo to got through next
year withont taxing the West. It is
A CHBXBFOL PACT
that not a carload of Western corn has
been disposed of the present year in
Montezuma, Oglethorpe, Americas, Daw-
eon, Cuthbert, and perhaps Albany. So
a reliable gentleman informs ns. This
speaks volumes for tho progress of the
whole section, and already lands are rap
idly advancing and growing in demand.
Near the villages $16 per aoro are asked
and obtained, and everywhere a better
feeling exists.
The planters having tested the ills of
tho credit syotem, have come down to
hard pan in their experditures, and now,
thanks to the discovery of
, NON-BUSTING OAT3
and their great adaptability to the soil
of Southwest Georgia, can snap
their fingers in tho face of the
corn daalers ot Illinois an! Missonri.
They will sow down more of this grain,
(which ha9 proved the salvation of Sonth
ern Georgia), next fall than ever went
into the ground before.
The “lamp of experience” affords
very safe light to guide the path of the
traveler.
We know that the above intelligence
will be very gratifying to our readers,
and now, if we can fence ont
YSLXiOW JACK,
which i3 not hard to do with proper Eani
tary precautions and a general quaran
tine system, a good crop of cotton tbis
year will relieve the financial situation in
Georgia immensely. Fall crops, industry
and retrenchment should be the watch
words of our people.
TUB CATERPILLAR,
we learn, ie making ita appearance vary
generally in Sumter county, and the river
lands and bottoms of lower Georgia. As
yet they are not formidable in numbers
and may do little or no damage, as it will
require a full month or more to develop
another crop of them.
But the present cloudy, showery,
weather is very favorable to their propa
gation. It is some consolation to know
that not more than twice in
two decades of years dose this
insect really destroy the cotton
crop, and we have heard it gravely ar
gued that, taken in the long ran, they do
more good than hum by stripping off
the superabundant foliage of the weed
on rioh lands and thns allowing the sun’s
rays to ripen the bolls. Let ne then
hoDefor the best.
Glancing along through sunshine end
shower, at length onr train, strongly re
inforced at Fort Valley, Marshalville and
Montezuma, reached Oglethorpe. We
found the little town alive with visitors,
and the street unction man driving bis
vocation in stentorian tones. No sooner
landed, than tbe writer and brother
Woods of the Hawkinsville Dispatch and
Harrison of the Montezuma WetJtly, were
made prisoners and condemned to be the
recipients of unmeasured hospitality
from the kind people of Macon county.
Among those to whom we are indebted
for numberless attentions aro Senator L,
M. Felton and hie brother,Colonel Willis,
Mr. C. B. King, Mr. Saecd, Mr. Boese
and many others.
THS EXHIBITION
was exceedingly creditable to tho farmers
and enterprising cit’zma of that vicinity.
Among the displays of merchandise and
fancy atticle3 wero the following:
Mrs. W. H. Willis, a splendid stand of
canned fruits, sweet meats, jellies, cakes,
brandied frnits, catsups, etc.
Mr. E. B. Lawis, choice blsckberry
wine, candies, notions and fanoy goods.
Mrs. O. B. Keene, watermelon pre
serves, cat in the shape of flowers, fish
and animals. "Very busntifal. Also, na
tive win i, oordisls, jollies, jams, pre
set ves, a" ‘rgrr, picklse, end light and de-
licic. 33 bread and cake.
Mr.». W. B. Hill had a very tsaly are <y
of fenoy ertioles, including nobby hats,
ribbons, tie: end artificial flowers.
Thero wero several vciy pretty qu>Us
also on exhibition, one composed of a mul
titude of patches, by Mrs. John Rnber-
son, a venerable tidy who has passed her
threoccora years and ter; and another the
handiwork of Mia. T. S. Marray, beanti-
fally designed and finished in msgnifioent
style.
Mrs. J. McKenzie had a very large and
choioe display of
ARTIFICIAL FRUITS IN WAX,
embracing the orange, apple, banana,
and bandies of grapes, natural as the
living fruit. AUo, lov ■' specimens of
embroidery, neodla and’ oraeJ work, to
pe.her with delicate-lot Ifag cakes, jellies
and candieB.
By Mrs. Sentell9 several exquisite
specimens of hair work and fish aoales.
By Mrs. J. B. Wardlaw, n unique
family tree delicately fashioned of hair
work.
A waxen lyre, a perfect gem of beauty,
by Mies V. O. Warula v.
Col. W. H. Willi-, made a display pf
beautiful fanoy goods, perfumery, glaves,
fans, laces, asd tasty no.ion: which
potatoes which Mr. J. B. Marray
had, sandwitched with dark but per
fectly sound and large tubers of the old
crop. Tbis shows there mast have been
rain all the while some where.
Then there were melons too big, too
numerous and grown by too many people
to receive mention. It would require
whole columns, and a big warehouse to do
justice to them. One weighed forty-four
ponndB.
Mr. Ben Wilkinson exhibited speci
mens of the Assyrian crab apple, very
fragrant and pleasant to the taste, be
sides fine peaches and applee.
J. B. Boberscn, beautiful apples and
dried samples of tho same fruit ae white
as a curd.
J. B. Marray, threo varieties of grapes
and twenty of apples. J. N. and J, S.
Eaglieh, a fine display of apples, grapes
and peaches.
ONS MAMMOTH COLLABD
was tall enough to get nnder in a shower
of rain. The specimens from the grow,
ing field crops also were remarkably fine
for thi3 stage of the season.
One stalk of cotton from tho farm of
Mr. Ben Wilkinson was freighted with
230 bolls, blossoms and forms. Tho
same gentleman had new corn nearly dry
enongh for the mill.
Mr. C. B. King made a fine dis
play of ground peas, chnfas, corn
and oats. Another farmer showed
SUGARCANE
which had matured eight joints, many
stalks of cotton loaded with fruit, and
sorghum, 9 feet in height.
Col. L. M. Felton’s specimens of field
corn measured 12 feet in altitude, and
the ears were of prodigious size. The
above comprises a brief resume of what
was noted down. Of course very many
creditable displays cannot be remem
bered.
MACHINERY AND AGRICULTURAL IMPLE-
In an interior rural community it was
not to be expected that there conld be
any remarkable developments of mechan
ical genius. But wo were surprised to
obseive some original inventions omi*
nently worthy of notice. Oae was a
COTTON CONDENSES
patented by Means. Cook & Sen, whioh
prepares and thoroughly cleans the staple
before it passes through the gin. It
will even remove matches withont ignit
ing them, and Col. Felton informed the
writer that the portion of his crop sub
jected to this cleansing process last win
ter brought three-fourths of a cent more
than that ginned ra the ordinary way.
The invention j3 not expensive and vory
simple. It should be in tho hands of
every farmer in the Sonth.
Another citizen, Mr. Samnel Brooks,
bad a “pea planter, ’ whioh Is attached to
the plowshare, and drops the seed in
equal quantities and eqal-dietant iu tho
row. It is somewhat after the order of
the Dowlaw planter, bat more simple
There were also cotton gina and sugar
cane evaporators on exhibition.
Messrs. Cook & Son had a
WAT3R WHEEL
on exhibition of their own invention,
with whioh twelve bales of ootton per
diem may b9 ginned on a single machine,
while tho same motive power will turn a
set of mill stones and run a saw mill si*
znulianeontly.
THE STOCK EXHIBITION
bid3 fair to be very creditable. No fewer
than twenty planters havo made entries,
and it is said tbo display of colts and
homo-raised stallions cannot be beaten in
the State. All this is the fruit of the
Marshalville Agricultural Club. A dozen
years ago no attention whatever was paid
to the rearing of blooded etook, bnt nnder
its fostering efforts Macon county horses
and mules are now famou3 thronghuofc
this region.
THE CENTRAL FIGURE
of the Fair was a monster frog from the
swamps cf Fiint river, which moved abont
uneasily in a glass vase filled with water.
It was jast sach a specimen as would havo
made a French gourmand’s heart leap
joy. It was currently reported that
mine host Mr. C. B. King intended to
serve the “jumping critter” for dinner
on Saturday. This his “gentle better
halt” stontiy denied, and wo denounce
tho story a3 a canard.
Whon wo left the scene to return to
Macon, on the 4 p. m. train,
TWELVE DOUGHTY KNIGHTJ
were about to contend with couched
lances for the honor of crowning the
Queen of Love and Bsanly.
"We witnessed a charge or two bsfore
the regular conflict began, bnt the mer
cury of our enthusiasm fell considerably at
eight of the scampering Knights in plain
clothes and bare headed, poking at the
ring with their long poles, yclept lances.
B it this is the modern travestie npon
tne ancient tournament, and it seemed to
contribute not a little to the enjoyment
of the crowd.
At night a grand party was to oome eff,
and the next 4 day, (Saturday,) there were
to be ox raoes, the stock parado, baby
show and divers other amusements.
The fair was a decided eucosB3, and
not less than 1,600 or 2,003 delighted
spectators wero p.csent. Ha oh enter-
pr.ses, more than any others, serve to
promote good feeling and a friendly rival
ry between farmers, wbieb, in the end,
never fail to prodaoe happy rosalts.
THE PROFITS OP FRUIT GROWING.
On bis retain to Macon,! tho writer
had Mr. Samuel H. Bcmphe as a fellow-
passenger as far ss Marabalivillo. This
gentleman enjoys a reputation by no
means confined to the State os a pomolo
gist and a enocsssfal fruit grower. H«
has reduped his theorios to practice, and
ia now reaping, the golden results. Mr.
Bumphe showed the writer a bank oheck
on New York for $44.30, whioh he hsd
jast taken from the post-office, rs the
net proceeds of eight bushels of pesohes,
together with the gro33 amount of sale,
amounting to over $70. This is belter

He has S3 sores in orchards planted
for the most part in peaches and apples,
and espects to extend the area largely
the ensning fall. The pre-ent season
Mr. Bumphe will ship 2.000 crates of
peaches, holding one third of a bushel
each, about two thirds of which have al
ready gone forward. Up to date the
average per crate net,h»s been $$1.50 or
$4 60 per bushel. He only ships hie
best fruit, however, tho smaller specimens
being cat, and dried by means of an
evaporator. The "dessicated frnit also
yields a handsome revenae. His earliest
shipments to New York sold at
TWO DOLLARS FAR DOZEN,
or $34 for a single bushel. Pro sent sales
run Lena $7 60 to $9 per bushel. Can
any business on earth ba more profitable ?
Mr. Bnmphe makes his own crates at
an outlay of bnt three cents each. Those
he bays cost fivo cents. He is succeed
ing finely also iu the onltivatian of apples,
and finds no difficulty in keeping them in
good order through the severest winter.
His plan is to spread tbe frnit on shelves

. There are twenty-one gambling houses
in Leadville, and games are coaduoted
openly as Sunday school exercises in
Springfield. There is a gambling saloon
on Chestnut street where a dozen games
are going on at once. The room is large,
the fall ground area of the building, and
is fitted so that short faro is played here,
faro there, ohuck-a-lack yonder, and
lansquenete, bigb-ball poker, rouge-et-
noir , the paddle-wheel and the nutshell
game in other parts of the room. Tne
gamblers do not wait for the evening,
bnt begin by 9 o’clock in the morning,
although basinets is apt to be light in
the * daytime. With the approach of
evening, however, the gambling saloons
fill up; three seedy-Iooking individuals
begin to tortnre a fiddle, a harp and a
oiraet, and tho voioe of the bunko man
rings ont npon the evening sir. The
gamblers include all classes of meo.
There are the well-dressd professionals,
the nnlnoky professionals and the “low
down” professionals. There are fnrnaoe
men jnst from the smelters, laborers jast
from tho streets end miners from tte
headings, ell in their working clothes
and with ths grime of tbe day’s toil
npon them. Among them stand olerks,
accountants and professional men, a:l
intent npon tho tarn of the wheel or the
falling of the oard3. The scene wonld
not be oompleta withont two or three
drunken men spoiling for a fight, and
there are usual y a few men who fancy
themselves opera Bingars and bellow
unimaginatla nirs in voices that
make tho discords of tho fiddle
and harp seem sweet as the
sighing ot a summer breizi. As the
evening wanes bummers fall asleep
aroned tho Btove, whereupon practical
jckera tie the sleepers in their chairs and
stick pins into thorn in order to see them

Over the fields by winding waja
we wandered on together
Underthe flashing azure skies,
in a huth of Au gust weather.
Bound about us. atar and rear.
We heard the locust humming.
And the alters starring tho laLely path
Laughed out to ace us coming.
Bird songs out of tho aunlit oak
Fell rippling through the shadow.
Like a spear ol flame the cardinal flower
Burned out. along the meadow.
Into our hearts tbe bii*he wind blew.
Its own free gladness giving.
And all things laughed in the hippy earth
For the pure, sweet joy ef living.
Two roamed on with th-ir eyes alight,
And their hearts too att 1 lor laughter.
Two in a revel ot goldea life.
Looked neither before nor after.

Thebe is an advertisement in onr ool«
umns to which we take mu h pleasure in
referring onr papers, because wc believe in
it and and can conscientiously and hear
tily recommend it. Wo refer to Hall’a
Hair Benewer. We remember many
cases in cur midst of old and middie-aged
people who formerly wore grey hair, or
whose locks were thin and faded, bnt
who now havo presentable heed pieces,
and with no little pride announce to their
friends that they haven’t a grey hair in
their heads. It is a pardon&blo pride,
and the wotld wonld be better off if there
was more of it, for when the aged make
themselves attractive to others, they are
more certain to win and retain the es
teem and respect to which a burthen of
well spent years entitles them. Try
Hull’s Hair Benewer if age or disease has
thinned or whitened your locks, and yon
will thank ns for onr advice.—Pan-Han.
