York, the guest of the widow ot Cornelias
Vanderbilt.
—Tiio French artillery has boon doubled
since 1870, and now numbers, gun for gun
and man for man, exactly tho same as that
of tho German Empire.
—The German Empsror treats bis troops
in the most paternal fashion. ‘Good morn
ing, ray children, he says with a kindly smile,
as he rides past the brigades drawn up to
receive him; and all the regiments answer
lustily, ‘Good morning 1 your Majesty.’
—The to etc sent by 03tywayo to Lord
Ohelmstord to intimate wish for peace, is
BOW at tho Colonial Offioe. It is seven feet
in length and about half a yard thick at the
broadest part. It is pronoucced the finest

A Ersaxax Banxa or Bsozhzs Moody's—
The Eun says: It Brother Moody’s Tuesday
evening talk at the Cooper Instltnto meet
ing was accurately repotted, he said a very
strange thing. ‘I have hardly ever met a
man,* ho is reported as saying, ‘who was con
verted by means of a sermon.’
—When an enthuiiastio third termer at
San Francieoo told Grant the other day that
there were many in that city who would like
to see him President again, ho answered,
diplomatically, *1 don’t aspire.’ Still farther
pressed to say whether ho would be a candi
date in a certain contingency, he looked to
ward the sea and took rofuge in silence.
—Mrs. Eate Ohase-Spragno was thirty-
nine years old on tho 18 th of last August.
In Mr. Chase’s diary at tho time of Us daugh
ter’s birth oocnrs the following remarkable
entry: ‘The babe is prouonnoed pretty, bat
I think it quite otherwise. It is, however,
well formed, and I am thankful. May God
give the child a good understanding, that she
may keep His commandments.’
—Tho Prince do Joinville brought home

ladies of the royal family of Louis FhiUippe
At the Tuileries crowded around to see tho
contents of the little box, And trero quite
shocked to find when it was opened only a
pair of car-rings and a pair of sandals!
—TheGeimsn Emperor’s Journey of 200
miles from Danlzio to Btetnn last month was
A triumphal progress throughout. Every
station, village and oottsge within sight of
the train being gayly decorated. The mani
festation culminated at Btettin. This was a
set-off to the gloomy silence and closed
blinds of Btrassburg.
—Quean Victoria once signified to Viscount
Macduff, now Earl of F.fa, that she would
not be unwilling to have him for a son-in-
law. The nobleman respectfully declined
the honor. He is not yet 89, was eohooled
At Eton, has eight residences in the High
lands, and is warmly spoken of by all clas
ses. His four sisters are ladies of extremo
beauty, but have not all been enviable in
their wedded life.
-Ex-Gov. Throckmorton was defending a
murderer, the other day, at Gainesville, Tex*
as. He desired to convince the jury that the
min whom hi) client killed, although in his
shirt sleeves and without a pistol pocket in
his trousers, might still have been armed.
The lawyer had prepared himself to illustrate
his argument. Taking off his oeat, and stan
ding before the jurors, ho said, Can you see
any sign of arms about me?’ They ehook
their heads. Then ho drew a pistol from
nnder each arm, one from each boot leg,
and a long knife from the back of his neck.
—The Colombians Sentinel gives the par
ticulars of a novel performance which took
place recently at a colored marrligo near the
Hontevallo coal mines. This performance
was, it is stated, considered a part and par
cel of the marriage ceremony, and was emi-
ply this: After the knot was tied a number
of the wedding guests took the bridegroom,
stripped him of hts clothing, and gave him
forty lashe3 on his bare back. Thoy also
took tho bride *id treated her in a similar
manner, giving her, however,__only.twenty
the* bride and groom qnietly snbmittod to the
castigation, recognizing it as a part of the
morriago ceremony.
—The British farmer is by no means as
rooted to the soli by patriotic attachment to
it as his Geltio brothers, and has been, in his
sullen, undemonstrative fashion, packing
himself off by the dozen and the score all
the summer. On four contiguous estates in
Yorkshire a hundred and eighty farms are
deserted; over twonty 03tate3 in another
shire are being or will be farmed by land
lords for want of the tenants, who aro going
with a vengeance. Tho farmers are repor

at home than relieved by the prospect which
invites them to South Texas territory.
Fobitoe3 is Ikon.—Tho Cleveland Leader
says, some nest ,little fortunes have been
■ made by the rise in iron. A syndicate of
wLse youngsters in State street, Boston, saw
fir enough beyond their noses to realize
$330,030 by it; and a hardware veteran in
the same city, whose neighbors thought him
crazy for laying in' 60,000 kegs of nails, net
ted as many dollars when the boomcamo.
It is calculated that the action taken by the
Western Iron Association in Pittsburg, last
week, advancing card rates to 3 cents per
pound, will yield a dally Increase to manu
facturers in that city alone of $29,000 to $22,-
000. The new card took effect yesterday,
and wo ATS glad to learn carries with it an
advance in poddiers’ and helpers’ wages.

Turned Out of school.
Special dispatch to the Constitntionl
Lst tbe Bibb connty representatives
return home. The school commission'
ere will make laws, having this day ex
pelled ell scholars from the free schools
whose fathers have not paid poll tax for
1878, by a'high-handed and arbitrary
law of their own.
JtSN A. NzL80N.
The poll tax is one dollar. Between
five and six thousand taxable polla are re
ported in tho connty, from whom tbe last
official statement reported less than one
thousand actually oolieoted; and the
general average has been about 1,600.
It is manifestly unjust to put upon prop
erly the entire burden of sustaining the
public schools. Tbe Board of County
Commissioners, at the request of the
Board, this year has taxed property ic this
county $16,700 for (he support of the
schools, and it will be bard to find in
Georgian better example of a wise and
public spirited liberality in behalf of pop
ular education. It amounts to more than
a third of the entire pnblio revenue of
tho connty for all purposes.
Tho Board of Education in this county
is acting nnder a special law creating it,
and conferring powers which, it is be
lieved, are not transcended by this rale
recently adopted, requiring the payment
of this tax as a condition precedent of
admission to the schoola. This role is
the only means (very inadequate) of en
forcing tho collection of the tax from
non-property holders, and enrely a dol
lar a year can be no grievous harden. If
a case ebon Id come to light where the
oolleclion of the tax would operate os a
hardship, the board will doubtless make
it an exception. Bat surely the good
sense of the' country will sustain the
board in tho effort to make tho great
bulk of tho benefioiaries of the schools
contribute at least one dollar to the fam
ily in support of them.
As handsomely as property now con
tributes to the support of these schools,
and as closely as every expense is pared
down to its lowest point,eo rapidly do the
schools increaso, that the Board will not
bo ablo to keep them in operation for the
fall scholastic year of nine months,nnles3
the income from tbe capitatnm tax can
be closely collected. If it could all be
collected, property would then pay three-
fourths and persons tho remaining fourth
towards tho education of the children.
Balldoxins In Ohio.
In a recent speech Governor Yonng, of
Ohio, advi-cd all Republicans of color to
ostracizs nl colored men voting fora
Democrat, uj matter how good a man
the Democrat might be. Now a dispatch
from Kenton, O., sayst
“More bulldozing has been going on in
Baker creek township, Logan connty, of
which wo have bnt a meager account.
It seems that Mr. Kenslav, a Republi
can negro, seventy years old, had attend
ed the Democratio colored meeting held
in the district school house last week at
the time the mob of negroes attempted
to break it up, and, being disgusted at
the outrage of his brethren, and rather
partial to Dr. Goodlow, Democratio can
didate for Congress f tom this district, de
clared his intention of voting the Damo-
oratio ticket, and with him go several more
colored votes from friends who are sub
ject to his influence. A mob of Eepub-
liean negroes hearing of this came to
gether Friday night, end visited the old
man’s house, taking him from hia bed,
beating him in a frightful manner, at
tempting to force from him a promise
that he woold not vote for Goodlow or
the Democratio ticket, bnt he wonld not
promise, and the mob, after telling him
they wonld come back and kill him the
next night nnless be promised, retired.
The next day the old man left home and
is now with friends in another township.
Bnlldosing is highly improper, nnless
it bo exercised to compel men to vote
the Republican ticket. Then, as Repub
licanism is ran on a “high moral’’ sched
ule, it mast necessarily be virtuous, be
cause it compels men to vote right. It
is on this ground that the party sustains
bayonets and military bulldozing at tho
polls thronghont the country.
Should the national administration
ever fall into the hands of the Democrat
ic party, these laws, which enable tho
• —A — -n*. fi,n rt-m<nftn mill
(arypowers ofthe country to perpetuate
its hold on official power, wonld be uni
versally regarded as miechievons and
dangerous in the extreme. Bnt so long
as it can only bs employed to make Re
publican officials, it is very safe, of course.
It is precisely this kind of ratiocination
which satisfies tho so-called Republicans
in their defense of military interference
at the polls—a thing which no free peo-
pla ever permitted before—and which
they would not tolerate a moment under
Democratio rule.
foreign immigration Soutii.
At last foreign immigration is begin
ning to tend southward. Virginia, East
Tennessee and Texas have received im
portant aooesBiona to their population
from this source. North Carolina has a
colony or two. Texas hes already re
ceived about 3.000 foreign immigrants,
and fo-diy the telegrams ohroniole the
arrival in New York of 160 more. When
onoe the movement is fairly inaugurated
it will soon beoomo rapid, if easy facili
ties can be offered for acquiring land In
large bodies.
Texas owes this immigration simply to
her large amount of nnoecnpled land In
market. Georgia coold probably secure
a share by tbe formation of etook com
panies, each controlling some five or six
square miles. These farmers want from
fifty to a hundred aoree eoob. And each
large tracts laid off in fifty aero lots, and
offered in alternate late at low prices
wonld no donbi eccnre good returns, and
introdace a system of small farming
which wonld be highly advantageous to
the State, and a profitable example to
the people.
We need a plan of agricultural life
more condnsive to social enjoyment and
improvement than is compatible in these
times with the old proprietary system of
the days of slavery. We want a system
which will admit of well sustained
ohcrches end sohools and a free and easy
social intercourse.

Advance m Prices.
Speaking of the general advance in
prices within tho last few weeks, tho
New York Financial and Commercial
Chronicle oomparo3 the rnliag rates of
September 23d with thoeo of AugnBt 29,
for some leading articles of production,
as follows:
Extra Stato flour has advanced from
$4.85 to $5.25 between tho two dates, or
morothan 20 per cent.; No. 2 winter
wheat, $1.10£ to $1.30, eqaal to 17 per
cent-- corn Nn 9. tniied. from 45J cants
to 65 cents, equal to 20 per cent.; West
ern muss pork, from $8.75 to $9. id, or
4} per cent; lard, from $5.82} to JG.57},
eqaal to 12 per cent.; creamery butter,
from 17 to 26 cents, equal to 53 per cent.;
cheese, from 6} to 10 cents, eqaal to 82
per cent.; pig iron, from $22 to $27,
eqaal to 33 per cent, and so on through
tho whole line of articles.
Tho iron advanoo is recognized every
where as in great part speculative. As
to pork, baoon and lard, the advance,
eays the Chronicle, is in tbe face ot a fa
vorable prospect for a large killing this
fall. There is a surplus of 200,000 tier
ces of lard this season, against 30,000
tierces ea the average for previous years,
and it is olaimed that there are 2,000,000
more hogs this year, weighing somewhat
heavier than the averago cf a year ago.
On the whole,no one need be surprised to
eeo flush and inflation times back on some
parts of “kedntry’’ in a few months. In
fact,after six years of senseless proatration
it is about time for an era of moina mul-
tioiulis and wooden cuoambar seeds.
A Southern Romance.
Condensed from the Cincinnati Oommercial.l
During the rebellion a well-to-do family,
consisting ot John H. Reynolds, bis wife and
daughter, were driven from their North
Carolina home because of ita occupation by
Federal troops, and settled in Walker connty,
near Birmingham, Alabama. There accom
panied the migrating family a handsome wo-
a who though called a quadroon, was
f to be distinguished from a white per
son. This quadroon devoted her time to the
caroof Mrs. Reynolds, a confirmed invalid.
After tbe war Henry Horton settled on an
adjoining plantation. He had a son, Mark,
end Mark grew up as A playmate or Jessie,
tho daughter of the Beynolds household. A
few years ago, both families being prosper
ous, it was arranged by Beynolds that if tho
children coaid be induced to love each other
there should bo a union of the houses. Jes
sie was sent to a girls’school in Louisville,
Kentucky, and Mark entered at Princeton,
N. J. Boturned from their collegiate studies
the young folks sure enough fell in love,
and were married under the moat promising
auspices. A month or so ago a child was
bom to them, and it was remarked that
yonng Horton and wife were among the hap
piest of mortals. But a cloud came up on
the horizon shortly after the birth or the
child. Tiio quadroon fell sick, and Dr.
Blackman, tho Birmingham phycician, told
her that her death was at hand. The quad
roon sent for yonng Horton. She tola him
that her conscience bad tortured her into
making a death-bed statement, fahe said
that Jessie had negro blood in her veins—
that she was her daughter. John Reynolds
was JesBie's father, bnt the invalid Mrs. Rey
nolds had never been a mother. The life-
caused' by Beynolds, who,' at jesaio’a birth,
forced his wJe to acknowledge tho child or
the quadroon aB her own. Tho death of the
quadroon occurred soon after Horton had
beta given the statement. Horton at once
told his innocent wife tho 6toiy of her pa
rentage, drove her from hot honEO and sued
for divorce in the Walker county court, now
sitting. Ths other day the court decreed tho
marriage void beiauso of fraud. Pending
the decree Horton disposed of his property
and left for California. Beynolds ia now en
deavoring to toll so that he may return to
North Carolina. The poor yonng wifo and
mother is wild with grief. It is not likoiy
that she will bear tho attain, and an educated,
refined girl wilt bo broken under hor weight
of woee, tho victim of an institution of the
past.
Lively Times A bead. In Louisi
ana Politics.
Washington Special to Baltimore bun.
Louisiana politicians say there are
lively times m that State jaet now. The
Constitutional Convention was snbjucted
to such a pressure from tho “outs” that
it yet a provision in the Constitution vs'
c-> i-g every office in tho State but that
of dtate Treasurer. As a consequence
the office seekers, which means almost
ths entiro white male population, arc in
such a condition of ferment and excite
ment as almoit parallels certain periods
of ths carpet-hag domination.
The prospect is that tho contest over
the offices will result in a split in the
Democratic narty after the nominations
are mads. In regard to the office of
Governor, what is called the Bontbon
element ia working for tho nomination
of the present Lieutenant-Governor,
Wiltz, while the Conservative element is
struggling to nominate Gen. Ogden, the
leader of tho White League. The Re
publicans have not os yet indicated any
pnrpoee to pat a State ticket in tho field,
bt have intimated that they will support
Ogden, either as a regular or an Inde
pendent Democratio candidate for Gov
ernor. Shonld Ogden win tho nomina
tion at Baton Rouge, tbe Willz-Burko
party, it is thought, will bolt, and the
decent conservative element of both par
ties will nnito in snppott of Ogden. Tho
censer7ativo people—those who have
property and interests nt stake in Louis
iana—want to get a State administration
that will protect tho State’s credit and
faithfnlly administer the laws.

How It Hay Be.
Speaking of the two Presidential Prog
resses now going on in the West, tbe
Eerald says that the unanimity with
which General Grant is welcomed
back to the country is the natural oonse-
qnence of a belief that he will not re-en
ter polities, and that all his fellow-oiti-
zsna can recognize his great servlets
wilhont risk ot awkward political com
mittals. The friends of tbe avowed Re
publican candidates for tae Presidency
are watching at a distance with Intense
jealousy, the great outpouring of popu
lar feeling on the Paoifia «oast. because
they fear it may be turned to political
aooonnt in emargenoies not unlikely to
arise.
If, eays the Eerald, Gen. Grant should
be welcomed with the came enthasisetio
warmth in other parts of the eoantry the
Republican party wonld be converted in
to dry tinder, which conld easily be kin
dled into a blaze if his name shonld next
year be suddenly sprang upon the Re
publican National Convention. Suppose,
for illustration, that Mr. Gonkling, Mr.
Blaine, Mr. Sherman and Mr. Wash-
bnrne should be candidates in the Con
vention, eaoh pressed by hia friends,each
receiving tho votes of one or more States,
bnt none receiving votes enough to make
a majority. Suppose, farther, that there
should ba six, or eight, or ten
ineffeotnal ballotingB, in which the
friends of the eereral candidates
were unyielding, and the strongest of the
candidates still fell short of votes enongh
to nominate him. If, at an advanced
stage of such a deadlock, some astnte and
dexterions admirer of General Grant,
who had been lying in wait and watching
for the golden crisis of opportunity,
snonin iusu,..,... C nt the knot by
nominating Grant by acoTamation, ms
net difficult to imagine the hurricane of
resounding plaudits with which tho cap
tivated convention might respond to
such a proposal. The spark would fall
into a mass of dry combustibles, a mass
dried and made inflammable by tho strong
Banshine of these ovations. If General
Grant is nominated at all it will be by
thns taking advantage of a crisis in
the Repnblioan National Convention.
After a weary deadlock running through
many ballotings this sadden solution
might carry tho Convention by storm and
“take it off its feet,*’ especially as it
wonld bo at onco responded to through
out the country in the same spirit by
vaat multitudes of General Grant’s un
thinking admirers, who wonld not atop
to oonsider the difference between a nom
ination and on eleotion. Unlees some Re
publican candidate goes into tho Conven
tion strong enongh to eeenre a nomina
tion on the saoond or third ballot, and
thus preclude a deadlo.-k, it is possible
that General Grant may suddenly be
brought in as tho dark horse and triumph
antly win the race. It would bo difficnlt
for him to deoline a nomination made
nnder suoh oircamstanoes.
The Republican party, so-called, ha9
always been dry as well as combustible,
and is now dryer than ever, after a steady
feast on troasury pap for eighteen years.
Fally comprehending the fact that Grant
is their strongest man, they are going to
ran him, and, if elected and alive, ran
him again in 1834 and again in 16SS, for
tbe reasons for running him will grow
with every additional election. Sher
man's, or any other Republican candida
cy, will amount to nothing.

get a poor meal at a very high price—
fifty per cent, more than yon pay any
where else for a good meal. Bat other
advantages compensate even for this.
Arriving at Washington, D. 0., after
midnight, eve saw nothing of the Capital,
bat took a through sleeper for New York,
whero we arrived for breakfast just 36
hours after leaving Atlanta.
We found New York crazy over
tho disgraosful walking match which
was concluded Saturday night, and sub
sequently every thing has been serene.
Business of all kinds is lively—indeed,
wo never Eaw New York so busy before.
The merchants have all that they can do
to wait on the crowds of customers who
daily throng the city. It is generally
conceded that this is tho great heart of
the county, and the prosperity here will
be seen to ths remotest seolion of the
Union. So mote it be.
Tho only Maoon man wo met was May
or Huff, who is here to get the new bonds
made. Ho will get up a beautiful bond,
and we verily believe they will be popu
lar and relievo tho embarrassment which
has hampered our business prospeots in
Maoon, and make her what she deserves
to be—the qneen city of the State.
Among the noticeable things In this
city we saw and tried the Bntler Health
Lilt. Oar friend, Alexander Agar, a
leading wholesale stationer, 110 William
street, invited ns to walk with him one
afternoon. As we approached No. 74
Wall street, he said, “Let’s go in hero,
and I will show yon what saved my life.”
We entered an elevator in the basement
and were soon hoisted up five storiev,
and were ushered by Mr. A. into the
pleasant rooms of Dr. Lewis G. Janes.
Here wo found a number of gentlemen
stretched out on sofas, and ethers pulling
away at the health lifts.
It is so adjusted, that one can lift
from 100 to 600 pounds without any
strain upon their muscles, which usually
givo way upon a dead lift. Yon stand on
a spring platform and lift with body per
fectly creot, thua bringing into play
every part of tho system. It equalizes
ths circulation, and after litting four
times with intervening rests, instead of
being tired, one feels, while lying on the
sofa, a perfect seneo of rest. It is won-
derfnl. Mr. Agar was threatened with
oonsnmption and was informed by hia
family physician that he was in a danger
ous condition. He commenced using
the Health Lift, and now he is perfeotly
well, and is fat and flourishing. No one
would suppose, to, look at him, that he
ever wsb sick a day in hiB life. He saye:
“I have gained ten pounds In weight—
good BOlid, healthy tissue. I would not
Uko a thousand dollars for the improve
ment in my condition. I gave up the
use of medioine, and ascribe wholly to
the Health Lift the great improvement in
my health.” Dr. Janes ia an exceedingly
nics man, and we wish we hid suca a
man and his Health Lifts in Macon. Tho
fiiet evening wc tcied the Li t it cured iw
i of a distressing headache, which has not
aioee returned. It ia a good thing. We
opntion this matter that those suffering
fjom nervous or pulmonary disease may,
if they have opportunity, try the valua
ble remedy.
On Sabbath last, we made a pleasant
visit to and dined with an old Maoon
Mend, Mr. and Mrs. Walter 0. Hodg
kins, who live -just across from New
York, on the Bergen Heights, New Jar-
cay. They have a delightful home over
looking tbe whole Island of Manhattan.
We shall long. remember with pleaanre
our short and delightfnl visit to onr
friends.

Nsw Tons, September 29,1879.
JSscsd as Ween By a Tourist.
n?rom a very pleasant and remarkably
well written letter from Maoon .to the
Courier-Jeurnai, wo clip the following
good words for onr oity and her instiln-
tfijns. We thank the unknown corres
pendent “Pan Handle," and hope the
next time he passes through our city he
will make himself known:
Yon leave the thriving manufacturing
town ot Columbus, with the noisy hum
of its myriads of spindles and looms, its
long line of streets and well-filled stores,
the clatter of feet and tongnes, and feel
glad to take the train for Maoon and the
sweet air of the pine groves, Yon reach
Macon at sunset, and, just in front of
ths passenger depot, the first thing yon
see is the imposing faoade of Brown’s
Hotel. It looks inviting and first-olas3
from the outside, and when yon enter the
reoeption room and see the grand chan
deliers, the luxurious ohairs and eolaB,tbe
splondld faience gas jets, and tbe hand
some faos of the proprietor behind the
desk, yon know instinctively that yonr
lines are fallen into a pleasant place.
The hotel was burned two years ago, bnt
was rebuilt in 1878, and is iw* to first-
class order, ana nnea with eueBts- The
rooms are fine and well famished, par
lors elegant and luxurious, and the ser
vants well trained, as only colored ser
vants can be.
The head waiter is a marvel of polite
ness and attention; he has tbe air of a
Frenchman, and although bronzed to the
hue of a West Indian, you wonld take
him to be of Caucasian descent. He is a
prince among butlers, and worth hia
weight in gold to the management of
tho house.
Macon is an old town, and has grown
rich with its manufacturing interests. I.
is a larg8 railroad centre, and its mer
chants are active and wide awake men.
It has a great fntnra before it, and has
none of the brand-new brick and mortar
look of Atlanta, Macon is old and rich
and highly respectable.
GoL Blount, member of Congress from
Macon, is a deservedly popular man, and
has represented this district several
years. He is a straight Democrat, in
whom is no variableness nor shadow of
turning.
Polities seem to interest no one here,
and everybody is hard at work. There
are no trampB in Georgia, and the ne
groes are as happy as any class of work
ing men in tho world, and are saving and
laying up as muen. monoy as the whites.
There will be a large immigration to this
Slate, this winter, from tho North, and
already large tracts of land havo been
sold to aclnal settlers. I hare conversed
freely with (ho leading bnsinesa men of
Macon, snoh as* Johnson & Harris,
Jacques & Johnson and G. T. Rogers
Sons, and they all agree that the
ontlook is promising and favor
able. Thero is a genoral inclination
among capitalists to invest in email cot
ton faotories at various points in the
State, and to enlarge them os they are
productive and remunerative. Tho suc
cess of tho Macon and Columbus mills is
something marvelous, and really as
tounding to the factory men of the
North, who pretend to believe that tbe
geniuB and spirit of tho Sonth are an
tagonistic to the seated industries of the
factory system. The Lowell and Fall
River manufacturers must havehad their
eyes opened long ego by the small orders
from the Bontb, and by the fact that
Southern factories are underselling the
Northern, and making cotton clothes
that aro heavier to the yard, and there
fore more honest goods than those made
in tbo North. Every factory in Georgia,
Alabama and Mississippi is working on
full time to fill orders that continue to
jiour in.
Mr. E. It. Irvine.
Mr. E. D. Irvine, one of Maoon’s most
industrious end encosssfnl yonng busi
ness men, baa recently removed his stock
from Cotton Avenue to the store lately
occupied by Mr. L. Newman, next door
to Meters. Wing & Solomon. His new
qaaTteis are much more commodious and
better adapted to hia business. He has
enlarged his stock, and, with commenda
ble enterprise, keeps abreast of the de,
mauds of trade with all the newest, pret
tiest and latest goods in his line.
Mr. Irvine is one of tho most skillful
frame manufacturers in the country, and
has every facility for making them in a
strictly first-class manner. His trade in
this line is very large. He claims to be
the only dealer and manufacturer who
engraves frames south of Baltimore. ThiB
is a new feature in the picture frame
busineee, and one that has become popu
lar on account of its attract) veness. Mr.
Irvine ha3 also an endless supply of
blank books of all kinds, and a well
lected general etook. Wo wiah him
great enccess in his now and elegant
quarters.
Nothing tries the patience of a man more
than to listen to a hacking cough, which he
knows could easily te cured by investing 25
oents in a bottle of Dr. Doll's Cough Bjrup.
CosKLisa Sick.—The Tribune eays
tho news that Conkling has been again
attacked with the malarial fever which
has harassed him for several years past
will be a great disappointment to the Re
publicans, who hoped that he would be
in the field from tho very opening of tho
campaign. There is a possibility, how
ever, that he will be able to keep his en
gagement to speak in Brooklyn next
week, though the probability is not eo
strong as might be wished. Bat no ono
needs to bo assured that Mr. Oonkling
will begin work on the first day that he

Wash. Special to Phil.’Times.l
A party in Illinois recently applied to tho
Secretary of the Treasury tor ihe redemp
tion O' five coupons or United States bonds
representing sever*, thousand dollars. Tho
applicant allOROd that for safe keeping he
uaa placed the oonpons in a tin box and de
posited them in a stove pipe; bnt subse
quently a fire wss built in the stove and the
oourona destroyed. Tne ashes, however,
were retained in the box and were presen
ted with the application for redemption.
The matter was referred to First Oomptrol-
lor Porter for his decision. A scientific ex
amination satisfactorily proved that the con
tents , t the box were the remains of coup
ons, as alleged. The Ueoittiou in the oaee
which has just bsen given, is quito impor
tant from the fact that it holds that the
statute authorizing ths redemption of etiled
bonds, where clear and unequivocal evidenos
has been famished that they have bsen do-
