—It is claimed, says the the Nashville
American, that in the zinc and iron dislnfec

ever, do not warrant such generalization.
It wP. take many experiments to demon

that the fever has not spread. If the same
result should bo observed a great many

evidence.
—The village of Karshallton, in Pennsyl

was the work, ills supposed, of an Jocen.
diary—at least* bunch of rags saturated
with coal oil was found in a Joiner’s shop
among tome shavings, which it had failed to
Ignite. The disastrous spread of the fire,
however, was rather due to accident than

Infuriated bees, probably 75,000 to 100,030 in
number, were turned adrift amongst the
citizens working to pat out the fire. The
result was that everybody was stung, routed,
and put to flight, and the people who per-
eisted in trying to save their property were
bnogednp and blinded by the vicious little
insects, so that they had to retire nUly-wUiy.

regaining bit strength, and looks as wall
and expresses himself as feeling as Well as
he evar did in his life. He was, to my mind,
very much improved, and appeared to be
on j eying continental travel very much. The
waters have done hhn a great deal of good,
and when I left him at Naples he was con
templating * trip on the Nile with the live

to return boms next month. I think this
s a (mistake, and that if hs would stay

The Ben&tor says that it Is impossible for

The Mania for “JKeconsldera-
tlon.”
It has come to ho a settled fact that, it
matters not how long any question has
been discussed in oar present Legislature
or decisive the majority by which it has
been carried, “reconsideration” is afore*
gone conclusion. And, etrange to say,
the motion seldom fails. Why is this ?
Are not the minds of members made np
when their votes are recorded? And,
great economists as they claim to bs, do
they not not know that such legislation
is painfully expensive to the Common'
wealth ? We admit that upon rare occa
sions, when parties are almost equally
divided upon some important issue, the
sober second thought of a few individu
als who may have gone with the majority
may justly call for a review of the action
taken.
But what will be said of the passage
in the Hones, on Thnrsday, by a vote of
70 to 67, of a motion .to reconsider the
bill calling for a repeal of the act for the
inspection of fertilizers, which had been
defeated by the overwhelming Tote of 88
ayes to 40 nays. And thie, too, upon the
heel cf the earnest remonstrance of the
State Agricultural Association, than
which a mare representative body could
not bo gathered in Georgia.
Now we cannot donbt that the House
will confirm its previous action, bnt why
then “reconsider,” when the matter had
keen settled, and there is so much im
portant unfinished business before it?
A prominent citizen of Sonthwest
Georgia, just returned from a visit to the
Capitol, says, “chore i3 every probability
that the Legislature will go into winter
quarters at Atlanta. The seductions and
amusements of the place are very en.
ticing, and some of the members are be
coming very fond of them.”
We hope this report is an exaggera
tion, and know that Speaker Bacon will
dispatch the business as fast as it comes
np and as rapidly as it could be done by
any presiding officer in the oountry. But
hear also what an intelligent correspond
ent of the Cu’.hbert Appeal has to say on
tho eubjec?:
The readers of the Appeal may well ask
when the L cU'.atnre will adjourn. I
answer, G> i ily knows. The way things
are now wo. king, the dews of heaven will
be condensed into frost, and the last germ
of the yellow fever will be destroyed by
the bleak winds of winter ere the Bspre-
eentatives will retnrnto their dumb found
ed constituents.
There are now about six hundred bills
on their first, second and third reading,
and a large number of very important
ones. Local legislation the people mnst
have—nothing else will do them. The
railroad and penitentiary bills alone will
consume two weeks of the isessior, and
the impeaohment four weeks. It is true,
wMle this is going on in the Sonata, the
House can continue its work, bat when
will the Senate catch np ?
We oan bnt hope for the best, however,
for the cake of the poor tar-payers, and
beg that a little less re-eonslderlng may
be done hereafter.
T lie “Providence Potato.’*
Mach attention has been devotrd of
late years to the Improvement of that in
valuable esculent, the sweet potato, and
the introduction of new varieties into
tnis country.
The old white yam, the sweetest pota
to in the world, has recently been largely
superseded by the “St. Domingo yam,”
a much more prolific and hardy potato,
bnt not as delicate.
Then we have the “negro killer,” red
outside and white within, the “Bermuda
red,” a very early variety, usually round
in shape and very dry and mealy, the
Fnmpkin yam, yellow inside and we
think very inferior in quality, the Bed
potato with yellow heart, very product
ive, the old and delicious corrugated
Spanish, the “Brimstone,” yellow within
and without, find possibly other varieties
not enumerated.
But Mr. Dowse Brad well, writing from
Suwannee Springs in Florida, to his pa
per, the Hinesville Gazette, speaks of the
‘Providence Potato," a neir variety,
which bids fur to eclipBe them all. He
says:
This variety of the potato, the origin of
whioh is remarkable, deserves soma no
tice. A missionary among the Indians n* , „ ... - .
the Uverglsdas found a potato vine in an IeaalD S eatans of the State,
old field. From this single vine he ob
tained potatoes enough to subsist upon
and small ones for seed. These hs gave
to a friend, and in that way the potato
was introdnoed. Mr. M. assures ns that
from five potatoes tMrty bushels were
gathered the first season. In six weeks
from the time they are planted potatoes
large enough for table use can be ob
tained. When new, the taste is very
similar to the old yam, being,very sweet
and destitute of the tar of the'West India
yam.
We trust the seed of this romantlo po
tato may sjon be introduced among ns,
and that all that is relat’d of it may
prove a literal verity.

The Branch College of tha
University at Outubert,
Senator Clarke writes to the Cuthbert
people as'follows:
We advise that money be raised to re
pair our buildings, eo as to make them
convenient and nice for the enterprise.
Of com-e, the conveyance of property
was conditional; so expressed in the con-
tract. We had no authority to make an
absolute and final alienation of the prop
erty.
We are to reeeive an annual appropria
tion of (2.000 for the sole purpose ot pay
ing teachers. Thu is about the amount
of this contingency: the fond out of
whioh it is provided, like any other in
vestment, may fail, or may become so
unproductive that this amount eannot be
alwayB continued. But, in that event,
we oan retire from the union—30 says
the oontraot. However, there is no nort
of risk for two years to oome.
Mr. Stephens moved the appoinment
of Mr. Sanford, on his own judgment,
unprompted or advised by any that
I know of. I never thought of him un
til I beard of this solion.
I am not aware of any discrimination
in favor ot Thomaaville, as to the nomi-
naticnof a President for their College.
The Trustees of the University hold
and exercises the absolute right, by con
tract, to eleot the President for us, for
Thomasville, and for Dahlonega. They
will not relinquish that right, while we
draw money from them.
All teachers, bat the President, are to
be elected by the looal board. Of course,
no one ever thought of the local board
meeting anywhere but in Cuthbert. It
takes nine to constitute a quorum.
The trustees at Athens secured to
themselves, by contract, the right to fir
the salary of the President. They have
fixed it for the year at (1,250.
The said Trustees require that the
curricnlnm shall be fixed by the Chancel
lor of the l/niversity, on consnltation
with the President of the branch col
lege.
The Appeal says it will require fully
(1,500 ot repairs to the building, and to
purchase the necessary furniture before
the school oan be opened, and calls for the
appointment of committees to raise the
necessary funds.
The people seem to bo earnest on the
subject, and Will probably furnish all the
money that will be needed.
About tbe Browns.
SANDXESvrLi,*, Ga., August 14,1879
Editors Telegraph and Messenger. In
your historical sketches from Howard
district in your isaae of to-day, mention
is made of one Mr. Martin J. Brown, who
is described as a remarkable fighting
man. I think that your historian made
some mistakes about the date of events
in his history. My father lived hear
Maoon and his name was Martin H.
Brown. He was six feet seven inches
high, was born in Virginia, reared in
Jefferson county, Georgia, moved from
there to Jones and from Jones to Bibb
about 1828 or 1829. I was bom in Bibb
September 4,1831. He went to South
west Georgia and fought the Indians in
1836, and moved his family to Bandolnh
county in 1837, nob to Thomas. His
name is mentioned as one of the first set
tlers of Baudolph county in the hisiory of
Georgia. He was related to the Han
cocks of Virginia, the H. in his name
standing for Hancock. His father,
Bichard Brown, kept a hotel in Louis
ville, Georgia, when that place was the
State Capital He was a brother of Cap
tain John T. Brown, who was for many
years with Hardeman & Sparks of yonr
city. He died in B&ndolph county in
1858, leaving an estate valued At (60,000
which all perished by the war. He hac.
six sons in the Bebel army »t one time,
two of whom were killed, the other four
are now living and one who was too
young to enter the army. Two live in
Bandolph county, one in Texas, one, the
writer, in Washington county, and the
yonugeet one in Houston. He left three
daughters, one now living in Milledge-
ville, one in California and the other in

His burly laiuh made men rejoice.
His words the neighbors guided; .
The little bairnies loved his voice.
And his smile confided:
The words to-day that left Ms lip
Became a deed to motrow.

Would Uf t the heart of sorrow.
He was na’ loud, he was n&' proud
He lacked in larmn’ sairly.
And yet ye’d pick him tree a crowd,
The honest man of Airlie.
His wealth it was na* in his land.
Itwas na* in the city:
A mint o’ honor was in his Land,
His heart a mint o’ pity.
He’s dead and gane, this prince o’ Fife,
Hate is his burly laughter:
But ah! tbe music of his life
That bides with us lang alter.
His memory lives, the man may die,
That lingers bright and lovin’.
Just like a star lost frae the sky.

Thb Canadian Tboublis.—The oon
flict between the Frenoh Canadian ship
laborers on tha one part and tho Irish
ship laborers on the other, in Quebec, has
assumed serious proportions, as an*
nonneed by our telegrams, and looks like
a war - of races, in a strict sense of the
term. Tbo trouble has been brewing
sometime, but only culminated on Friday
last. It appears that the French Cana
dians became offended at the treatment
they received in certain protective soo'e-
ties composed of ship laborers, and so
formed an organization of their own. It
naturally followed that a parade wae the
next thing in order, eo as to demonstrate
their numerical strength. This exasper
ated the qnick-blooded Irishmen, and a
street fight ensued. y\
The balance of the day’s events are
meagerly detailed in onr telegrams, but
enough is told to give an idea of the
extent of the conflict, and to famish the
outlines of the picture to be filled in by
the imagination. Such scenes of blood
shed and of riot are a disgrace to the civ
ilization of the American Continent. We
are glad that the disturbance occurred
beyond the limits of our country, although
on American soil.
With the few details contained in our
telegraphic advices, it is impossible to
eey cn which eida was the greater blame.
We are constrained to believe, however,
in the absence of farther information,
that both parties will come in for
a pretty lively shore of censure. It must
have been a refreshing operation to the
8hillaUh boys and a terror to the timor
ous French Canadians, though both,
sides seem to have displayed considerable
pro wees. _ _

Many a poor men, if required to ao-

oat of ten, soate diseases are the result
of some neglected ohronio disease. Thus
fevers invariably result from diseased
conditions of the blood and liver, and a
timely use of alterative or blood-

would have averted the prostrating ill'

Dresalng at Saratoga.
(Saratoga Correspondence of Troy Times.)
There Is, of course, a great deal of elegant
drees among the women at Saratoga, bat
tte gecd tiete almost universally displayed
is noticed by all. Dress is becoming e&oh
year more and more an art. It ia seldom
that one eees anything loud or in bad taate.
Many of tbe richest dresses are ehart, and
all of the preheat ones that are seen on the
streets or parks are so. And many of them
are thrown out by emril hoops, although they
have by no means come into generrl wear.
White dotted mnslins are very mnoh worn
for morning dresses, and are mostly made
with two skirts trimmed with plaiiings or
raffles edged with lace, and a rather close
fitting baeqne, belted, sometimes with rib
bon, sometimes with a leather belt. In
leather belts the light yellow are tbe favo
rites, and most of them have the pocket sus
pended at the aide.

ordnance .to the English has been dem
onstrated by late experiments at Wool
wich. Tbe test shows that the Krupp

double weight. For ooasi defense and
upon ships of war, therefore, the advan

Why the colored Brother Takes
the Fewer.
Memphis Avalanche )
The unusual number of colored people who
have been attacked during the present prev
alence of the fever has been mnen comment
ed upon, and the reason for it has be«c
sought in vain. The problem hsa at lut
been satisfactorily solved, and Senator
Georgs Washington Augustus Fill James
Gill, the dign'fled oolored janitor at the
alatton house, is the person to whom the
world is Indebted. It came about in this
wise. The Avalanche man has snapeoted for
some time pist that the . Senator possessed
this priceless contribution to medical science,
bnt refrained from approaching him on the
subject. His hesitation arose from the
knowledge that the dignified offiolal waa of
fended because he had been made famous
through the lootl columns of the Avalanche
as the object of several infirm but well in
tended jokes. He therefore engaged a
prominent officer of the police force to in
terview the Senator, which wae done; and
snepeoting no evil, he deposed as follows:
“You see the yaller fever is like a bog
gier, he travels mostly in solitary darkness,
and gits his work in befo’ the morning star
assends the horrizone. Now wMte people is
mo’ oonspikoua at night than cnllud people,
and for that reason the arrears of the ad
versary was formerly d’reckted against them,
whioh of oourse was the salvation of the cal
led race. This waa previous to 1873. Th«
history of that period ia 1’milial to all. The
wMte people unan’monsly absented them
selves, and left cnllnd servitors in charge of
there prem’tes. The yaller fever cum peru
sin’ around to see the ohoiit. His former
victnme was away in the mountings, and at
Boag Qna Springs. Bo of coarse he feather
ed on the servitors. Now,” remarked the
.Senator, dropping into Natural history, “it’s
Known to every Intelligent that the Al-
legatnr after onoe tastin’ the flesh of a cal
led pussan will alien neglect ao white peo
ple to pustue’ Ms fav’rite nigger. The fever
is like the allegatnr. Havin’ onoe tried the
off oolor hs has becum f aicunated by it, will
take no wMte meat when a nigger is to be
had.” With this the Senator became silent,
with the air of a man who had done enough
tor science.

Methodists knelt and began to pray lor
them. The SpiritnalUts stood upright and
disdainful. Amethodiat oiergyman besought
pardon for ‘those who formerly preached
Jesus, but now dishonored Him,’ referring to
two of the visiting delegation who bad for

He added: ‘O, that we all present may

the Methodist, taking note of the interrup

with terrible details respecting the famine
which has for some time past prevailed
throughout certain provinces of tbe Celestial
Empire. They depose to having seen peo
ple die in the streets of many towns and
villages from Bheer staivation, and state
not only that arsthropohagy ia practiced npon
the bodies of the dead, ont that famished
men attack the living and prey npon them
with all the ferocity and greediness of tbe
fiercest oamivors. One of them alleges
that he was present at tbe examination of a
mendicant, who had been arrested for some
12 petty theft, and in whose professional wallet
the mangled remains ot an infant were dis
covered.
This man confessed to the magistrate
that for some time previous to his seizure he
had lived exclusively npon the fresh fleeh of
human beings, as he oonld not surmount bis
antipathy to that of dead bodies. Another
appalling case, which came under the notioe
of a Russian merchant; was that of a young
man who had persuaded Ms father to assist
him in murdering and anbssqnently eating a
girl to whom be was betrothed.
Men hare been exeented for killing and
eating their own children, and sons have
slain thrir own fathers in order to appease
the pangs of hunger. In some of the nor
thern districts whole villages stand empty,
their inhabitants having one and all perished
for want of food. Borne of the incidents
reoounted by these commercial travellers
and published in the Golos are too horrible
for reproduction, but the above details will
convey aome idea of the awful sufferings
by which the population of the Flowery

brothers of the second generation, sona of
the elder William, succeeded them. Tksa
are the William and Areas; of the present
day. Large as tho business was then ihe

man Sc Co. failure of a few years ago, Rhode
Ieland fairly groaned with the weight of tha
Spragues’ property. They owe ed whole vil
lages and towns, whose sole subsistence de
pended npon the prosperity ot thrir facto-
ries. In their palmy days they employed
upwards of ten thousand hands, to say noth
ing of agents and others ontride regular
operatives. Among the towns they may bi
said to have praotically owned were Cran
ston. Arctic, Natick, Baltic and Qoidnick.
Besides they have large factories in Provi
dence and Olneyville. They owned street
railways and lumber mills; they owned
Sound steamship lines; they owned or con
trolled three or four savings banks and as
many more national banks.
Their enterprise waa not confined wholly
to Bhode lot-nd. They bought np lanA» —A
water privileges in Maine »u<l >oith Caro
lina'after the war and bnilt factories thero.
No enterprise seemed too vast for them to
undertake Their interest in the Rhode
Island savings banks alone represented
enormous wealth. This cannot be fully un
derstood without explaining that a savings
bank in a manufacturing town means a
great deal more than the savings bank in
the ordinary sense. For example, there is a
bank in that State now wMch bas on de
posit over eight million dollars. Tbe depos
itors are almost entirely working people,
representing sums of $1,000 each.
The failure of the Sprsgues to said to
have been dne to Dnncin, Sherman & Co.
crash in New York. It ia believed they will
yet oome ont all right. They own millions
of dollars’ worth of property in Bhode Is
land still and their factories are all in ope
ration, under the management of a trustee.
This is Mr. Zschariah Gbtffey. At the time
ot the failure of the brothers they pnt their
property ail into Mr. Ohaffej’a hands. Their
assets ran up to about $13,000,0-0, while
their liabilities were somttbtag over $7,00?,-
000. Notwithstanding the shrinkage in val
ues the prospect, according to competent
judges, is that the debts will ba paid dollar
for dollar, and with large property still in
their possession. Patience on the part of
their creditors to the main thing. If the lat
ter do not press them it to believed their
business will in time regain its old fooling.
Both brothers have applied themselves sc*
tively of . late years toward holding the tros-
tee in his management of their afiaira.
