Havana has, therefore, daring the last centnry, baea the propagator of the scourge for all the Gnlf States. It will re* qnlre some of the very heroio sanitary work to clean up that peat hole and eradicate the germs, bat the people of the No.ih and Sonth American continents, together with Spain, its owner, shoo’d unite to wipe oat tho common enemy. —It is claimed, says the the Nashville American, that in the zinc and iron dislnfec tlon New Orleans has at last found a pre ventive of yellow fever. The facts, how ever, do not warrant such generalization. It wP. take many experiments to demon strate the truth of the cla'm. It to orly cer tain that zinc and iron have teen nsed and that the fever has not spread. If the same result should bo observed a great many limes, it would afford strong presumptive evidence. —The village of Karshallton, in Pennsyl vania, was lately destroyed by fire. The fire 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 design. At the ontbreak of the conflagra tion an apiary took firo and twelve hives of 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. —Mr. H.

He is rapidly 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 liest anticipations of pleasure. He expects to return boms next month. I think this s a (mistake, and that if hs would stay abroad another year he would gain material- y in his hoalth and spirits by the change.’ —Eighteen months ago August Bische was spoor man, obtaining * meagre living in Chicago by working at Ms trade as a shoe maker.

His gift to the bride consisted of a watch and chain and diamond jewelry to tha value of €7,800 and ♦100,000 In government bonds. Mr. Bische has Jnst paid 912,003 for a fur nished house in Denver, Col., to which he will take Ms bride after vieitiog New York, Baltimore and Washirgton. —Senator Thnrman has written a letter to the Hon. Frank McKinney, chairman of the Ohio Democratic executive [committee, in whioh he states that after* brief visit to Washington he will go to Deer Park, Md. where be will remain for a few days prepar ing his first speech for the campaign. Sen ator Thnrman is of the opinion that be can not speak in Ohio at early as the 29th ot this month, hnt ho will 1st tha State com mittee know when he roaches Deer Park.

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. Fortunes ara made Daily in Wall (treat by the new Mutual Capitalization SyBtem from investments of 925 to 925.000. The numerous fluctuations in stocks afford splendid points.

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 Bibb County. Yonrs, eto., CLXMKHT C. Bhown. The Man O’AIrlle.

More Trouble,—England’s Empire, upon which she boasts the sfm never sets, ib by no means a crown without thorns. Even before the Zilu Chief, Cstewayo, has formally succumbed, we find another "unpleasantness” arising in a far distant hemisphere. The British subjects of India are in revolt. In the Madras Presidency, two armies of insurgents are operating, one, under tho leadership of Chendrajja, on the borders of the Gudem district in Viz*- gapatam, the other nnder Tammandora, near Judecgy, in the Godarery dis trict. It i3 another anti-liquor embroglb, growing out of an excise tax, levied on the “toddy palm trees” of the rioters. Thus it will be seen that both barbarian and civilized cations ore a nuit in their opposition to sumptuary laws.

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. _ _ UHECMATISM.

The eleotion cornea off to-morrow, and there is muob enthu- Siam manifested in bebalt of the doctor. Sc acceptable was be when sojourning here, to the.people of every denomina tion and claes of tho community, that if a plebiscite were possible, he woold be elected by acclamation. Dr. Warren is now the beloved pastor of an important church in Bicbmond, Ya., and receives a Briery of (3,000 per annum. If he thinks it his duty, however, to return to Ms old charge, no pecuniary oo&sidsration will deter him from doing so. Maoon winlJ receive him with open arms. Prevention is better than cure, and Dr. Ball’s Baltimore Pills are the best pre ventive of disease known. They are used, upproved and recommended by my riads of people throughout the land. Ahead.-“-The superiority of German ordnance .to the English has been dem onstrated by late experiments at Wool wich. Tbe test shows that the Krupp guns, iu range, ascuraoy and penetrating power, aro equal to Woolwioh gun3 of double weight. For ooasi defense and upon ships of war, therefore, the advan tage is largely in favor of the German gun. They are mnoh lighter than the English ordnanoe, aud henoe a German vessel of far inferior tounags would be more than a match for a mnoh larger ship provided with an armament from Woolwioh. This Is sad news to proud Albion, whose motto is “Britania rules the waves.” Dm Ban.—our commencemenc exercises are orer.

There are consequently none to be had except what are in the hands of this little clique of speculators. They have made their corner and now they are pnltiogup the prioe ef grain sacks to the California farmer, whose wheat is thrashed and ready to be wagoned toaehipptog point, and who must either have ea:ke or lose Ms market. The total number of grain sacks hsld by 'the ring’ is said te be fifteen million; tbe prioe paid for them waa from eight and a-half to nine and a-half cents each. Tho price at which they expect to sell them is twelve cents bach. If theyauoceed in forcing Jbe farmers to buy on their terms, and there appears but little doubt that they will, the speculators, on sn outlay of 91,850,030 for a few montha, will make a profit of 8450,000. 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.

Tics bna- ineae dates back to about the year 1820. Thera were two brothers, Byron an i William Sprague, who started it. They prospered, grew immensely rich and exerted a wide po litical b.flacnca in Ehcda Island. Their first and largest print factories were at Cranston and Providence.

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.
