Mad on Stock*.
New York bos gone mod again on stocks.
Their women and children ore orazy to deal
in stocke. A Gotham letter to the Charles-
ton News and Courier, says:
More ladies ore dabbling in stocks now
than ever t efore. They do not, aa some of
them used to do, go personally to the street
in carriages. The stories that were told in
the time of the stock craze, during and after
the war, of elegantly-dressed ladies step
ping from perfeotly-appointed equipages and
stepping gracefully into broke-s’ offices
would not hold good now os to Wail street,
though one or two brokers have up-town of*
flies with telegraphic communication, and
there the ladies may drive to their “bank
ers.” Bat the dowd-town business with
ladies is done mostly through messengers,
and the lady customers are in many instances
the personal acquaintances of the brokers
Many spectators have made large amounts
by tbe rwo on various stocks. Holders of
large blocks of Northern Pacific stocks most
have made fortunes the poet few seeks;
Northern Pacific oommon, especially, baa
soared up beyond tbe moat financial hlgute
of the most sanguine holders; and yon may
bear many pretty little stories of the suooess
of amateurs in this present great campaign
how this ono has “fixed himself for tbe
winter,” that one hae now the means where

little they bad; they keep very dark and

It is possible that even now the end is here.

Yesterday soored another flay of grand
success for tbs Stats Fair. It was feared
by some tba*; the crowd whioh attended
the unveiling oeremoniea would injure
the attendance at tho fair grounds. In
stead, however, the attendance was un
precedented, and a finer looking, better
dressed crowd never adorned the grounds.
The whole of middle and lower Geor
gia hae turned out, and are sustaining
the State Fair, and ita sneoeas ia assured
and triumphantly complete.
The attendance yesterday was vari
ously estimated at from twenty-soven
to thirty-five thousand, and it could not
have been much leas according to tbe
best judges than thirtyw.wo or three
tbociand.
Tne constant remark was, that a lar

grounds before. The programme) for to

very fine. Floral Hall presents some of
tbe loveliest sights, and the exhibition
in tfcle hail is very full, sad well and
systematically arranged. In the
FLORAL DUFLAX
some gems are yrecented to view. Mr*.
T. W. Ellis exhibited a floral schooner
floating in a sea of besutif nl and rare
flowers, while Its cargo consists of choice
fruits of all kinds. A pal ice made by

A floral design, a Japanese pagoda in
a ga>den, waa constructed and exhibited
by Mrs. E. A. Ross, and was admired by
every one who visited the fair. Thd
beds were of green mosB, ornamented
with flowers and froite appropriately dis

these designs were so excellent that the
premium was shared between the two.
Mr. D. B. Woodruff made a most ele
gant display of flowers and plants, em

THR ART GALLXBT. I
In the Ark Gallery the exhibitions are
remarkable for quality. The pictures
are hardly as numerous as on some form
er years, bat the general excellence is re
markable.
L. W. Smith A Co. has an elegant dis
play of pictures and picture frames, and
a case of fancy articles.
Mr. T. B. Blackshear makes an elegant

LaUa Rookb, fruit ic panel, and others.
Mrs. J. F. Lee, of Forsytb, hae on ex

oolor floral picture, eaoh of which de

A map drawn by Master F. W. Hazla-
hnrst, is quite creditable.
Miss Bessie Rogers, of Macon, makes a
splendid exhibit of a large nmnber of

Tbe head of a girl, after tne original of
Grease, is one of the best in the entire
collection.

fine.
Mr! J! At Fogh made an extensive ex
hibit of portraits and fine photographs!
They ere well arranged and arrest the at

ting.
The first was a running race, for all
ages, two mile heats, best two in three;
puree $400. The starters were Mary
Walton and Round Danoe. Mary Walton

Then somebody producid a jng of whis

readily accepted and a wild carousel ali

* me Question Settled.
We think the most doubting skeptic in
Georgia, if present at Central City Park
yesterday, ought to be satisfied en tbe
question of ths permanent lcoitiou of
the State Fair. There were thirty thous
and living arguments to bs seen in favor
of Macon, and such a oolleotion of the
fraits of the arwrden, field and orchard;
so many beautiful sp«elmens of tbe
handiwork of the noble ladies of the com
monwealth; such a display of machinery,
manufactures, the fine arts, mercantile
exhibits, flowers, eurioeltiea, blooded
cattle, fast horse*, ponderous swine,
poultry, and last but not least, the beau
ty and obivalry of Georgia, that not a
voice sbonld be raieed in the negative.
And this, too, in the teeth of the fiercest
opposition from Atlinta.and tho forcible
detention of articles whioh had been en
tered forthe State exhibition. But of
this more anon.
On this side of tbe paper we mast be
allowed the pleasure and latitude of
rambling around at will through the
orowded halls, here and there, pausing
t6 note some speoial objeot of Interest
and sipping like » butterfly the neotar
from eaoh.
In onr Iooai columns details will be more
looked after, though to write up fully
the innumerable items of this mammoth
exhibition would require all our epsoe
for many days to come.
A stroll through Agricultural Hall re
sealed the most extensive and oomplete
display of vegetables and form prodnota
we have ever beheld in Georgia.
Several of onr beet ooanties are com
petitors for the prizes to be awarded to
the largest county exhibition. Tbe raoe
between them has been contested with
much spirit, and it will take tbe ablest
committee that could be raised «t the
last world’s fair to settle which is the
victor. Bibb seema to,have tbe largest
display, bat than she has greatly the
advantage of the others in being able to
bring into the Arid, without effort, her
entire resources.
But either her’s, or the exhibitions of
Talbot, Monroe or Sumter wonld furnish
ample material for a first class show.
WHAT THB ORANGUTAN, HDITJB, FARMER
AND MILLHR,
John B. Gorman has contributed. In
tbe Talbot exhibit, the entries alone of
Mr. Gorman would go far toward making
a representative display ef the farm prod
ucts of the 8tate. Let ns take a peep at
hie tables. At one end we find five varie
ties of plump and excellent Indian fora,
some' of the'samples of prodigious size,
and yielding a bushel to every fifty
ears. Then hard by are six varieties of
sweet potatoes, new Irish potatoes, a lot
of turnips, magnifioent stalks of the
Baineses cotton, bearing 100 bolls each,
eight varieties of field peas, ragar cane,
broom corn, rioe in every style, first in
the sheaf, then threshed, afterwards
pounded and white as snow, and finally
redaoed to floor.
Also delicious new syrup, pig hams
sound as a nut, “vetoh” hay from a
Scotch forage plant, thirty varieties of
garden seeds, choice lard, cider vinegar,
pecans, chnfae, ground peas, twelve doz
en boxes of canned fruit and vegetables,
sickles, jellies, sweetmeats, oake, nice
ratter, eto., etc: And still John has no
wife. Weil, all we oan say is, girls, np
and be at him. Saoh a man should be
lassoed and brought under pettlooat sub
jection, if no other way of controlling
lim will suoceed.
The general display of Talbot was also
very good, including eighteen varieties
of apples by one man, delioiou* honey,
flue sample of Spanish corkwood grown
in Georgia, genuine tea raised from
seed, by Mr. T. R. Lumsden, tobacco
from Caban seed in the form of
leaf, cigars and chewing weed, grown by
Dr. T. B. Tomer. Tremendous pomp-
kins. nice pearl grits and flour by Mr. D.
G. 0*en, dried fiuit, cereals, mammoth
beetB, heavy blankets made from Talbot
raised wool, eto., eto.
Tho Sumter exhibit, too, was excellent,
covering almost every tbiug that the soil
of Georgia oan produce, besides other en
tries in rations departments.
Especially would we call attention to
the display of Miss Callie Wheatley, of
Americas, which numbers no Ibbb than
212 separate specimens, emoracing needle
work, fish-shell ornaments, arlifioia
fljwers. lamp shades, shawls, tidies, mats,
ouehions, embroidery in silk, Afghans,
etc., eto.
Monroe county, too, comes proudly to
the front with a display whioh wonld
win a gold medal in any exhibition on
earth.
Of the Bibb county, show modesty for
bid a us to say much.
But we are willing to leave it to tbe
unbiassed judgment of every committee
doing duty at the fair, to eay whether or
not it has ever been excelled by any pre
vious county exhibition In Georgia. The
Ocmulgee Club occupies a very promi
nent position in the plot ore, and will
challenge comparison with any aimllar
organization in the State.
Tceieare many other agricultural con
tributions, which time and space would
fail us to mention now. Bat let us hear
the conclusion of tbe whole mutter.
Neither Georgia or any other Southern
State has ever produced any agr
rioaltnral, horticultural, stock, poultry
or machinery exhibition that will equal
the present Maoon fair. And never has
any exhibition of tbe kind been greeted
by more overwhelming numbers.
Unveiling Daj.
The pageant and imposing dedication .
ceremonies of this memorable day, and
the grand lllamination whioh lit np its
olosing soenes, mark an epooh In onr
city’s history, which will ever remain a
landmark in the memories of all who
were present.
Like the visit of loFayetto to avan-
nab, the passage of the secession
act by the Georgia Convention, the firing
upon Fort Sumter, the first battle of Ma
nassas, and the surrender of Genera
Lee, this event will stand forth most
prominently, and be graven upon the
hearts of a patriotic people.
The introduction of the orator by Geor
gia’s Governor, himself a soldier of re-
uown, was both graceful and sppropriatel
And Col. Hardeman fairly excelled him
self in the grand address which held
spellbound tho vast multitude that drank
in his every utteranoe.
That gentleman is fnlly equal to any
emergency that may oril to the front, at
a moment’s warning, the needed spokes
man of great eventB and patriotic occa
sions. And this time, bo short was the
warning given, that, albeit the oration
wob written ont, yet it might almost be
termed extemporaneous. Bat inspired by
bis theme and tbe grandeur of the sur
roundings, tbe speaker literally soared
upon eagle’s wings, bearing with him,
in rapt attention, the palpitating hearts
of thousands who were his auditors.
It is safe to say that It was the greatest
effort of Col, Hardeman’s life, and we re-
joiee that upon Maoon’s own sou was
devolved the honor and privilege of ded
icating the magnificent monament whioh
was "born in woman’s heart, waa
watered by woman’s tears, was sustained
by woman’s progress and reaebed its
consummation by woman’s untiring ef
forts.”
But his oration has already been given
to the public and perused by thousands
of delighted spectators, end speaks for
itself. The unveiling was a perfect suo-
oess. In the ready bands of Ur. HerbBt,
simultaneously with the boom of the
signal gun, down came the drapery whioh
enshrouded tho form and features of that
noble private soldier, who, at "parad
rest,” will stand sentinel on the snami
of the monument forever. The effect
was inspiring, and p«al after peal of
cheers broke from the exoited multitude.
THE CROWD IN ATTENDANCE
has no parallel in the history of Georgia.
The wri er has been pre- -nt at <=vory im
portant gathering,,pnliucal, military or
agricultural, that has assembled iu this
Stale for thirty-five years. The Mid'-on
and M.tcon Conventions of 1844, the first
txpuaition at ‘i'O ol.i armory, add -orra
after the war, tho Jasprr Centennial, and
we m&y adJr thj Fait iljutirie C-uum
x,ul at Charleston, all failed to brine t*
any given Bpofc the same numbers that
were m-rsuallad around the base of our
monument on Wednesday.
Tbe per pie stood paoked like rardlnes,
and oonld be measured only by the sore.
In. four directions reaching up and down
those broad boulevards, Second and Mul
berry streets, almost as far as the eye
could reacb, a dense mass of human be
ings eBgrrly watched and listened to tbe
proceedings. These were nearly all men.
Then the anmmita and numerous windows
of the oourt home, Public Library,Pugh’s
gallery. Dr. Payne’s drug store and every
other building in Bight ware thronged
with lady visitors. The lowest estimate
we have beard of the crowd present is
86,000 and many place it higher. Of
course accuracy in the figures is simply
impossible, but the opinion is unanimous
that the like has never been seen in
Georgia before.
thr illuminations
and decorations were simply brilliant and
unique. Flags and Chinese lanterns
strung upon ropes from house top to
house top swung in the air, and tho
wall* of tbe stores fairly biased with
transparencies and colored lights ar
ranged in graceful festoons and shapes.
On a wire stretched from the Court House
to Payne’s building appeared in flaming
tetters the legend, "Qua Dead Hkrors,”
and direotlj above the calm features of
tbe marble Confederate was suspended
by invisible wires,a lovely wreath of im
mortelles, on either side of whioh appeared
a white dove, (veritable birds), w it h expand
ed pinions—emblems of the rest whioh he
and his dead oomrades now enjoy.
Miss Julia Hayden, of Florida, made
the beantifal wreath, and ia the fair
author of the touching design.
Meny thousands thronged the atceets
to view the splendid iflumiaatioas, and
ail were delighted with tbe soenes and
events of tbe lovely day which witness
ed the unveiling of Maoon’s Confederate
monument.
■ Thr melancholy of oar esteemed con
temporary, the Macon Wtgragh, will
probably be lifted when, iff the course of
human events, it diaeovera that the Gate
City Guards never burdened the air with
the ohorns whioh poetically connects Mr.
Jefferson Davis with a soar apple tree.
Let us hope that tbe day is not far dis
tant when no disturbing rumors will
come between o-r esteemed contempo
rary and the full enjoyment of existence
—that the time will arrive when state
ments from the afar will be weighed with
dae reference to their credibility.

Cutting Soraw.—Columbus Times t
On Monday the little town of Hamilton,
Georgia, was thrown into excitement by
wbat may prove a fatal outting scrape-
A Mr. Metheny, aged thirty, and Frank
Calhoun, aged twenty-six, became in
volved in a difficulty while at work lay
ing tbe tract of the Columbus and Rome
railroad. The latter is from Reynolds,
Go., and is well known to many in this
oity. On sooonnt of the rain they were
enable to work oo Monday, and went to
Hamilton, where they began drinking.
After some timo they met, and the diffi
culty was renewed. From words Came
blows. Methony drew a knife and cut
Criboun in three pltoes—ou tbe book,
left side of tbe neck, over the oarotid ar
tery and on the right shoulder. It was
reported that he had been killed, but
such waa not tbe case. Drs. Mu oh ell
and Copeland, who attended: him, say he
will recover unless he has secondary
hemorrhages. Metheny escaped. The
general Impression is that Metheny was
at fault. He will no doubt be captured
In a day or so.
' Griffin Jfaci: The down train yeeUrday
aftrruoon was crowded with passengers
going to Macon. At this point the
orowd was largely increased by the addi
tion of a large number of ladies, gentle
men, and little folks. The ooeaBion,
which was, however, otherwise very
pleasant, oarne near being marked by a
terrible tragedy. As the heavily loaded
train waa rapidly moving by the plat
form, upon whioh was a Urge orowd, a
bright, handsome little boy of nine er
ton years of age, in some way was
thrown between the platform and the
moving oar. As the little fellow
went down into what .seemed the
jaw of a terrible death, Borne ladies near
by screamed, and every one took on the
expression of people who stand in the
presenee or some dreadful catastrophe.
By almost a mtraole, the little boy fell
olear of the wheels, and the last ooach
rolled by leaving him unharmed. His
wonderful preservation from a horrible
death, was a great relief to the anxious
orowd. His narrow esoape should be a
warning, not to our little boys, because
they are toe heedless, but a solemn warn-
ing to parents to exert every influence to
keep their children from the railroad
track.
Thr Dispatch i List night a lltlls be
fore eight o’clock, Mr. J. W. Phillips
hailed the oemetery street car going into
the oity, and while placing a lady on the
platform of the car, the driver, Mr.
Henry Bennett, moved off rapidly, but
whether Intentionally or otherwise is not
known, and the lady was knocked down.
Mr. Pofllip3 remonstrated with the driver
and had some sharp words with him. Mr.
Bennett became exasperated and drew his
knife. Mr. Poillips, who was standing
inside of the door of the oar, received
the blow with the knife on his right hand,
the forefinger getting badly cat. Mr.
Phillips then drew his knife and man
aged to ont Mr. Bennett several times in
the face and in tte back of the neck.
Both men then left the car, and the
mnleB went on without a driver. Ben
nett went into a bar-room near the eoeue
of the difficulty, while Phillips stopped
the car and took off the lady he accom
panied. He then came downtown and
gave himself np.

To appreciate the beauties of the eite np*
on which your oity te built, one mnai do or I
did yesterday, take ahorse and baggy and
ride to the various points of commanding
view. Maoon is certainly a city set upon
many hills, aad to my mind must bear some
resomblanqe to the onoe famous Jerusalem
or the proud Roman capital. It woe a grand
tight—to staud on the highest emlnenoe to
the North, and take in at a glance every
thing ef interest—the stately and beantifal
Merar, the venerable Wesleyan, the impos
ing Pio Nono, the Asylum for the Blind, the
free school buildings, the ohnrches. the fac
tories, the railroad depots and work shops,
and ths thousands of dwellings, from the
ptiaoe of the nabob to the oottoge of the te-
wrer, all grouped into a Jiving picture, the
e:up doll of which would arrest the atten
tion end elicit the admiration of an artist.
Going to the north side you find Bose Bill
Cemetery, the most beantifal oity of the
dead I have ever sera. It Is impossible to
do jastioe to the wild beauties of this soared
•pot in tbe short compose of this article. Na
ture boa been so lavish in her preparation of
this heme for the dead, that man, with all
Ida art and wealth, baa not been able to im
prove it. Besting on the banks of the ucmul-
gee, whose murmuring waters slog thtlr

of the primeval forest, your rieepingfriendsr

At all times a throng of beauty, it ie now
a very bee hive of human activity and enter

scription at my band*. Thousands of Geor
gians and many from other States are now
seeing it in its holiday drees, with its mag
nificent dwptey of agricultural products,
stock, poultry, art industries, mechanical In
ventions, racing and trotting bones, and the
thousand and on# attraction* that made up
the motange of a great fair exposition. The
grounds are os beantifal os. art, skill sad

grand epoch m the history of Maoon, the
memory of which will last as long aa ths no
ble monument ereoted by your ladies “in
honor of the men of Bibb county and all
othtrs who gave their lives to the South for
the establishment of Confederate indepen
dence, 1861-1855.”
The uoveiiiog or this handsome tribute to
tbe worth of our dead soldiers waa the occa
sion of the moet magnificent oitic and mili
tary display ever witnessed in your city.
Heaven seemed to smile with benign approv
al of tho noble work. The fios of nature eo
reoen' ly wet with the tear drop* of a frown,

scene. Toe burning words of tbe orator
west to the hearts of his hearers and made
eve^ one feel a fret her pr.’de in the fame
and sacrifices of the harooa whose memories
were thus sought to be forever peipsiuited
by the enduring mart le.
The monument is a masterpieoe of artistie
skill and beauty, and adds one mote to the
many me aments of Macon. 1 could almost
saver the pride of tho nobis ladies as they
beheld tho consummation of their oberished
hopes and arduen, lnbjra. G d bleu the la
dies of tbe 8oatM None truer end nobler
■relation aod the godly sermon with which
I woe greeted at tbe church it wu my privi
lege to attend on Nabbath last, I ahon’d aav
your people ore faithful church-goers, and
attend to their spiritual welfare with the
same fidelity they b?stow upon their secular
affair*. And this is no idle o jmplimant, for,
alat! we too often see in busy towns the
church subordinated to tbe world, and tbe
Sabbath converted into a day of pleasure
rather than a season of worth p and sacred
reel.
A Mom observation of the workings of
trade aa seen in the activity of your whole
sale and retail bouaea convinces ms that Ma
con is tbe center of an immense commercial
business. Bor, with her favored location,
oan it well be otherwise. As the Ciptial.ctij
of central Georgia, equipped with the neo.e-
eary machinery of wealth in the hands at
trained merchants and 'brokers, it is but
natural that she should attract the trade of
all this section of the State. If rightly in
formed, your commercial circle te bat sel
dom disturbed by business failures. The
permanent location of the 8tate Agricultural
Fair, should for many sound reasons be
mode here. This alone would inure immense
ly to tbe advantage of your city and secure
for her a prestige, tbe value of whioh may be
readily seen in the immense throng of visi
tors yon are now entertaming. Such a' eight
as that witnessed at the unveiling of your
monument—an assemblage of npt leas than
twenty thousand spectator* from all pari* of
the State—attest ths great advantage of hav
ing the question of tbe permanent location
of the fair definitely determined in favor of
Macon. A* a disinterested party, I have
viewid with-regret ihe policy of eelfltbness
pursued by Atlanta in reforenoe to your fa r.
tihe should feel herself too great anil pros
perous to need such a departure from the
strict demands of comity and jastioe. Isd-
mire Atlanta aod don’t with to see her suffer
from the praotice of a game that wonld ill be-
oome a provincial town niU in swaddling at

umphant success of your fair with that spirit
of generous appreciation whioh we look for
in alt great bodies, corporeal er corporate.

It ia too bad that tbe little tiff between your

splashing and stirring tbe aqueous element
into foam like the fans of a propeller-wheel.
The exoitement continued to increase, and
as the monsters of the deep were brought
nearer the boat it became apparent that but
one fish had been ‘hooked on to.’ Mr. Lew
had first entrapped the mussulonge by n
legitimate bite, and oa the animal was dan

the fleshy port near the tail, and the two

THE GENUINE
DReC.McLANE’S
CELEBRATED
LIVER PILLS
FOR THE CURE OK
••a! — Mirew Camttlaint,
~ DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
P AIN in the right side, under tho
edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure ; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under fhe shoulder blade, and
it frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The stom
ach is affected with loss of appetite
and sickness; the bowels in general
are costive, sometimes alternative with
lax; the head is troubled with pain,
accompanied with a dull, heavy sen
sation in die back part There is gen
erally a considerable loss of memory,
accompanied with a painful sensation
of having left undone something which
ought to have been done. 'A slight,
dry cough is sometimes an attendant.
The patient complains of weariness
and debility; he is easily startled, his
feet are cold or burning, and he com
plains of a prickly sensation of the
skin; his spirits are low; and although
he is satisfied that exercise would be
beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try it.
In fact, he distrusts every remedy.
Several of tire above symptoms attend
the disease, but cases have occurred
where few of them existed, yet exam
ination of the body, after death, has
shown the liver to have been exten
sively deranged. '• >.
AGUE AND FEVER.
Dr. C. McLane’s Liver Pills, in
cases of Ague and Fever, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them a fair trial.
For all bilious derangements, and
as a simple purgative, they are un
equaled.
BEWAME OF IMITATIONS.
The genuine are never sugar coated.
Every box has a red wax seal on the
lid, with the impression Da. McLane’s
Liver Pills.
The genuine McLane’s Liver Pills
bear the signatures of C. McLanb and
Fleming Bros, on the wrappers.
Insist upon having the genuine Dr.
C. McLane’s Liver Pill-, prepared by
Fleming Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa., the
market being full of imitations of the
name McLane f spelled differently b*t
