FortlAnn, December 31.—The Adver
tiser says a conference of the leading
Democrats of Portland has agreed that

pot, but no disturbance. They were taken
to the State House-
Boston - , December 31.—A special from
Augusta says the Governor agrees to sub
mit some of Morrill’s questions to the

questions will not be submitted is because
there is such a mixture of fact and suppo
sition that they would not be proper pa
pers to submit.

the relief of the distress in Ireland, now
amounts to 8,300 pounds. Dr. McEveilly,

system of remunerative public work can
alone be effective.
Augusta, Me., December 31.—The
military officers summoned from Bangor
had an interview with the Governor to
day, in reference to an inquiry concerning
the calling out of the militia companies,
should they be needed. The officers
promised to obey the orders of the Gov

ernor spoke in strong language in regard
to calling out the military.
In accordance with the suggestion
made in the letter of Mr. Morrill Gov
ernor Garcelon prepared and sent to the
Supreme Court this afternoon certain
questions of law covering the essential
points of Morrill’s communication. No
correspondence will be had with Mr. Mor

Mobile, December 31;—Tlie Mystic
pageant of Mobile passed off to-night with
great success and brilliancy. The weath
er was beautiful, though warm. A large

in progress. It is the most brilliant and
general celebration of New Year’s eve for
many years.

.^Ill\(i THE CITY.
Various Plaits Proposed.
The necessity of a systematic numbering
of the city is now fully upon us. On
Thursday morning the free delivery will
be inaugurated, and for a prompt and sat
isfactory service it is absolutely necessary
that each house in the corporation should
be plainly designated by a number.
The style of numbering adopted by
most cities is a simple tin plate, painted
or enameled black, with "lit numbers, the
whole affair being but about two by three
inches. These are tacked just above the
front or main entrance of the house desig
nated by them, These will either be put
on by the city' and a nominal charge
made, or the contract will be given out,
and the person undertaking the job be
authorized to put the numbers up and
charge for them. We have no idea but
that all will he willing to meet the
slight expense, as it is the only
one the people have to incurin perfecting
the free delivery system of the city. In
Augusta, • we undertsand,' these plates
were furnished and placed in position at
the slight cost often cents each, and that
a profit was realized even on those fig
ures. Of course, persons wishing for
more costly numbers can procure them at
their own expense.
Two plans of numbering are also sug
gested. One, the regular placing of the
numbers, commencing with one and run
ning out the street to the end regularly.
The other is the decimal system, which
commences with one and adds one hundred
for each block. Thus the first block
might represent ten houses, the first would
be numbered pne and the tenth numbered
ten of course. The first house on the next
block would not, under this system, be
numbered eleven, but one hundred and
one, and so on. The third block would
begin at two hundred and one, and so on.
In this way, as soon as a number is
mentioned it is known exactly how many
blocks away it is from any point in the
same street. Both systems have their ad
vantages. Tlie former is used in Savan
nah, New York, Atlanta, and many other
places. The latter is the one adopted in
Philadelphia, Augusta, Cleveland, (Ohio),
and other cities. These are briefly some
of the views now being advanced on the
subject of numbering the city.
In arranging tlie numbers of the city it
is somewhat difficult to decide where to
begin and in what directions to run them.
Several plans have been suggested. One
is that all numbers running east and west
begin at the river and be carried out to
ward the westward or rather the south
westerly limits, and numbers running
north and south start at. the southern cor
poration line or Seventh street and run
up to the hill portion of the city.
The streets, it is suggested, should
have their first number at the southern
or eastern end according to the direction
in which they extend.
Another plan is to divide the city by
some prominent street, such as Second,
and all above to be known as such and
such a number, north or south, as the
case may be, and the streets lying east and
west be similarly cut in two. This plan
meets however with very little favor.
In fixing the numbers, in order that
there may be uniformity about it a cer
tain amount of space will represent a
number, and if no house is standing on
the lot no actual number will he re
quired, and the next house will take its
number regularly, as if the vacant space
was built up. •
'The space to be allowed has not been
fixed yet. It is thought in the business
portion of the city twenty feet will be al
lowed to each number, and in the resi
dence portion twenty-five or thirty feet.
This will he left, however, to the cotamifc-
tee of the council in charge of the num
bering. The city will have to be regu
larly surveyed and the proper distance for
each number marked out.
We hope all will soon be arranged, both
for the convenience of the post-office de-
partmentand the people of the city.
No horse will die of colic, hots, or lung
fever if Foutz’s- Celebrated Horse and
Cattle Powders are used according to the
directions. They will cleanse the intes
tines, purify ana Invigorate the system,
thus preventing disease.
Grant Off.
If General Grant, according to tlie
Washington dispatch of Tuesday night,
left for Femandina at that time in order
to take the steamship Alexandria, which
would meet him at Femandina for that
purpose, be must now be on the high seas.
The Alexandria sailed from New York on
Saturday, and would be in Femandina on
Wednesday, if not before. Grant would
be none too early making all connec
tions.
Cuba and Mexico will be very commo
dious retreats for his Excellency. They
are about as hard to hear from as Japan
and China, and the third term can now
rest awhile, with such opportune lifts as
its friends can give it, without attracting
too much attention.
There is a wide difference of opinion
whether it has gained or lost in the recent
demonstratif ns; for while some can see
nothing br c Grant in the atmosphere,
many others affirm that the real effect of
the progress from California, so far, has
been to develop obstacles which are insur
mountable. Yes, they charge if the stal
warts insist on forcing Grant on the party,
they will do it at the co3t of a L tal split,
which will lose the votes of all tlie three
great States of the Union. They will not
and cannot consent to revolution in order
to accommodate General Grant.
On the other hand, the stalwarts are in
different to all these threats. They be
lieve the battle is already fought and tlie
victory won. Grant goes to Cuba and
Mexico to pass away the time until it is
necessary to reappear on the scene. He
don’t want to go, hut it is necessary. To
remain at home, in the United States,
idle, seems too much like waiting for the
nomination and for Mr. Hayes’ shoes. He
himself claims to be in a situation de
manding employment, then why not seek
it should he remain at home? Obviously
for no other reason than that he is ex
pecting the Presidential nomination.
This, position would be essentially un
grateful, and he must, therefore, go abroad
and wait. Cuba and Mexico will be good
places for this purpose. He can he talked
about there as little or as much as is
desirable. He can saunter around till
spring, and then, landing on the Southern
shore, pursue his second progress from tlie
Gulf of Mexico to tlie Northeastern At
lantic.
Meanwhile, the brethren who are not
yet fully assured what General Grant
wants can renew their inquiries. Let
them send the circulars around again and
get the opi lion of everybody who feels him
self entitled to a scientific opinion on the
subject, Does General Grant mean to run?
Has he ever had any other thought on that
subject ?
Rumors in the Air.
It is currently reported that Mr. Paine,
the plodding “ten dollar” bidder for the
lease who claims he won the prize for his
Boston boooos, intends to make things
lively on the eventful 13tli instant.
’Tis hinted that he will essay to choke
off all the contestants who enter the ring
on that occasion, with the announcement
that they are about to buy a big law
suit. If they persist, and the Gov
ernor stands firm, then, of course,
tlie auction will go on until
the lease of the road with its accruing
privileges has been knocked off to the in
dividual or corporation that is willing to
pay the most for it. But just here it is in
timated that said Paine will step in aud
enjoin the delivery of the road to the les
see. And then will commence a legal
tilt, which, if the case can be made to lie,
will only be decided finally in a jonst be
fore tlie Supreme Court of the United
States.
But per contra, (and we do not question
the truth of the statement,) it is roundly
and emphatically asserted that Governor
Colquitt has his “back up” and is resolved
not “by the Eternal,” for he does not
swear, but by virtue of his authority as
the Chief Magistrate of Georgia, and with
a sincere desire to uphold the expressed
will of the people, cost what it will, to
lease, and if the terms are complied with,
make a bona fide sale of the Macon & Brun
swick Railroad, as instructed so to do by
the late General Assembly.
The best legal minds are divided as to
whether Mr. Paine will he able to defeat
the second attempt at a lease and make a
case before the courts. It is even sug
gested as probable, that at the eleventh
hour that gentleman will strip for the
fight once more, and again try the potency
of his ten dollar catapult hurled after the
big guns have been fired, but^always a lit
tle ahead of them.
The plot thickens, and we doubt not
the action of tlie convention on Tuesday
will intensify matters, and stimulate the
parties to renewed efforts who are striving
to possess this great gateway to the At
lantic ocean. We only trust that the
struggle will culminate not only in a con
nection via Covington, with Atlanta, hut
an extension clear through to Knoxville,
and thence to Cincinnati. The latter is
tlie objective point which should be aimed
at by Baunswick, Macon and the whole
country interested in the proposed lease.
The Exodus Over-
Advices from some of the most popu
lous districts of Louisiana, among them
St. Landry parish, which is situated in
the heart of the sugar and cotton belt,
declare there is no dissatisfaction among
the colored people and no exodus. The
report is that the rural negroes are well
satisfied with their situation and could
not he induced to leave. The few who
have emigrated belong to the towns, and
are considered a good riddance. A wri
ter from that section says “some of
our most prosperous citizens are colored;
they ride and drive the very best mules
and horses, often in a handsome buggy,
and are respected by all.”
'We arc satisfied that as soon as the ex
periences of those who have preceded
them to the West and North, become ful
ly known to the masses of the colored
people they will he glad to remain where
they are, in a land whose climate, agri
culture and productions are best suited to
their race and habits. It Is beginning to
crop out, top, that the colored emigrants
are, after all, not special pets in Indiana,
gnd in one or two instances have been for
bidden to land. A severe winter would
make havoc -with the poof creatures.
The First Gun from the STew City
Bonds.
The admirable disposition which has
bdenmadeoftlie debt of the city of Ma
con, and the confidence felt in the integ
rity aud business capacity of the commis
sioners in whose hands the whole matter
has been placed, are already producing a
happy effect in reducing the taxes of the
people and inspiring new hopes for the fu
ture. Even in anticipation of the utter
ance of the new bonds at a^ diminished
rate of interest, it will be perceived by the
publication of. the license schedule this
morning, thdt Council has seen its way
clear even in advance, to make a reduc
tion of full two-fifths in all theJiceuses oj
the city for the coming year. This was a
wise step, and will afford immense relief
to all the mercantile classesT And this is
but the beginning. In. the lapse of a few
years, as the debt is extinguished and real
estate appreciates, our tax-payers may
confidently look for stiU further reduc
tions in their burdens.

The Philadelphia Times on a Third
Term.
Colonel McClure, who was an old Line
Whig, then after the war a moderate Re
publican and supporter of Greeley, but
since his connection with , the Times
strictly independent in politics, gives
some excellent advice to Grant. This is
the more suggestive and weighty from
the fact that no one was more conspicu
ous than he in the late ovation to the ex-
President. Indeed the description of the
pageant in the Times and the elaborate ed
itorials in praise of the past services of
General Grant, were more graphic and
extended than appeared in any of the oth
er papers of Philadelphia. But for all
that the Colonel is no advocate of a third
term, but bitterly opposes it, and thinks
that Grant should emulate the examples
of Washington and Jacks&ti, either of
whom could with ease have been re-elec
ted.
After conceding for the sake of argu
ment, however, that Grant’s nomination
could be assured and result successfully,
Colonel McClure adds:
“Could he have been called to the Pres
idency by the practically united voice of
the North and the South, his acceptance
would have been a duty to the nation.
He would then become the pacificator of
estranged sections, and could gain the
richest laurel ever worn by statesmen or
hero; but the early promise of the name
of Grant effacing sectional or partisan
lines, has absolutely perished j and he
must now be a partisan competitor for a
partisan nomination, he must reach the
position, if successful, through the desper
ation of partisan efforts and appliances,
aud lie must be a partisan Executive if
his partisan friends shall bear him to the
crown refused by Washington and Jack-
son. And what scruple could be added to
tlie fame of Grant by such a victory? The
homage of the country and the world to
liis untitled citizenship has given to for
getfulness the errors and lailurcs of his
civil administration, and a partisan contest
would rewrite them in glaring reproach
upon the recent, welcomes of the people,
and a partisan administration would but
reproduce the gladly forgotten circles of
former Presidential favors.
Have You Paid Your Pastor?
On tins, tlie first day of the new year,
in the midst of the feasting and congratu
lations incident to the season, and while
the whole country is 'rejoicing under the
influence of the revival of trade and the
several industries of the people, comes
the serious and pertinent question, “Have
you paid your pastor?” In other words,
have you given of your substance to the
God of Mercies, who has supplied your
wants and blessed yon so abundantly ?
Have you faithfully ministered to the
needs and redeemed the pledges made to
the man of God whose services you en
gaged, and whose spiritual labors have
been diligently bestowed ?
Remember, he is in most instances cut
off from all worldly gain and business av
ocations, lienee the earnest necessity that
you keep the covenant made with him.
His wife and little ones are mortal like
yourselves, and the age lias passed when
manna and quails descended from heav
en and the ravens fed the prophet in the
wilderness.
Consider, too, that of all classes of the
community, the clergy receive the poorest
compensation. Aside from a few congre
gations in large cities who pay fair sala
ries, the bulk of the pastors in every denom
ination receive a pittance barely sufficient
to defray the actual necessaries of life. Of
luxuries they have none. And then, oh,
how severely is their fai.'h taxed as the
years roll on and old age threatens to si
lence the tongues and put a period to the
labors of tlie men of God, who, having
dependent families, have yet been able to
make no future provision for them. Ol
all tlie charity enterprises of the church
we believe that for the maintenance of
the widows and children of indigent de
ceased ministers of the gospel, should
have precedence.
Verily the upholding of the faith and
the evangelization of the world having
been confided to them, when worn out, or
they have fallen in the good cause should
not their helpless loved ones be cared for?
Just here the benignant institution of life
insurance may be utilized to the greatest
advantage. Every congregaton should
insure its pastor's life at least for the sum
of $5,000 during the continuance of his
ministerial labors among then. This
would be by far the most economical way
of providing for Ins family should lie be
removed by death.
But to return to the subject matter of
this article. If any of the pew-holders or
subscribers to the salaries of their pastors
in this city are in default, let them hasten
with the advent of the first day of the new
year to redeem their sacred pledges. By
this act they will not only carry joy and
peace to the homes and hearts of God’s
chosen heralds of the cross, hut feel a
hundred fold better and happier them
selves. Again we repeat the solemn in
quiry, “have you paid your pastor?”
Maine Affairs.
According to a Boston telegram yester
day Governor Garcelon submitted certain
of Mr. Morrill’s points to the Supreme
Court—the others, in his opinion, being
too much mixtures of fact and supposi
tion to justify any such appeal. The Maine
Legislature meets early next week, on
Tuesday,we believe. The excitement is still
very great, but evidently decreasing. The
arms required by the Governor have been
surrendered by the sovereigns of Bangor
and arc in the Capital. At such times
as these peace hangs on the chaprer of ac
cidents, more or less, but if nothing occurs
to excite extraordinary fury the crisis will
pass without an outbreak.

j The Third Term Diagnosis.
j Charles Nordhoff, the Washington cor
respondent of tbe New York Herald, di
agnoses the Grant;situation as follows: ,
1. Secretary Sherman is an uncompro
mising opponent of tha third term, and
will he a candidate against Grant or any
body else.
2. Blaine and his friends in the West
and Northwest are against the third term,
and are particularly hostile to Grant anil
his present supporters, because of the had
treatment • Blaine experienced at their
hands in Cincinnati in 1876.
3. President Hayes is hostile to the
third term, and favors Sherman.
4. ■' The selection of Don Cameron as
Chairman of the National Committee,
ought not to be regarded as a great suc
cess, because it was brought .about only
by a coalition of the Grant and Sherman
forces in order to snub Blaine.
5: Grant is regarded as a weak candi
date by mauy influential Republicans,
and they will not consent to his nomina
tion. '
6. The galleries of the Convention will
be kept free from the “packing” contem
plated by the third termers.
7. Grant is not only willing to he a can
didate, but lias set his heart upon a re-
nomination, arid during his Southern tour
the Grant party in that section will be
thoroughly organized ,
The foregoing is the very latest from
the chief of the" Presidential Signal Ser

A Good Old Colored Divine.
Several years ago we called attention to
thi fact that an exceedingly aged
colored man, whose name is Rev. Janie'S
Symons, alias “Rev. Ground Pea Jim,”
was a resident of Vinevillo, arid plied his
vocation in week days as a vendor of
ground pees on the principal street of the
village, while every Sabbath found him
in the pulpit of the Second Missionary
Baptist Church proclaiming the Gospel of
the Redeemer.
That old worthy yet-survives, and has
recently entered upon his 97th year. Still
his hearing is good, his memory unim
paired, and he is able to continue his
double mission of selling ground peas and
preaching the gospel. He gives good
measure to his little customers, and we
doubt not is a faithfnl, though humble
herald of the Cross. 1 ■ i
Rev. “Ground Pea Jim,” in early life,
when Florida was ah appanage of the'
Spanish crown, spent eight years with his
master in Key West, where he says he
was regularly licensed and ordained to
preach by his white Baptist brethren and,
(in his own words) “Almighty God.” He
has pursued his holy calling' ever since
and if genuine piety, polite manners and
unfeigned humility, go for aught, this old
man lias been a true exemplar of his
Heavenly master. He came to Macon
many years ago from North Carolina, and
has always enjoyed the respect of the
community and is au immense favorite
with the little folks. Long may the Rev-
“Jim” live to labor in his own humble
way in the Master’s vineyard, and dis
pense ground peas at five cents a pint to
his devoted little friends.

A Negro Killed in Butts County
Griffin JVcics : The usual returns from
the effects of Christmas frolics are coming
in, though rather slowly. The only seri
ous disturbance that we have heard of in
our immediate section is from Worthvilie,
Butts county, and the information is not
as full as we could wish for, but the par
ticulars, as we gather them, are about as
follows: It seems that a number of ne
groes met at that point one night last
week to have a frolic. They bought some
whisky from some white men, and after
drinking it refused payment. The white
men—only four or five in number—seeing
they were drunk, started to leave, when
they were set upon by tlie negroes with
rocks. One of the white men, Mr. Kitch
ens, got hold of a shot-gun and emptied
fifteen buckshot into the breast of one of
the negroes, killing him instantly and
wounding one or two others. Mr.. K,
made no effort to escape, as he thinks he
acted in self-defenso. The negroes be
haved very badly and created such a riot
as to necessitate the arrest of several of
the ringleaders.

Milledgeville Union and Recorder:
Christmas day not only brought happi
ness to many old and young hearts, but it
brought some personages to the city,
whose names have, for a century or more,
been intimately associated with the histo
ry of the nation, and our good old com
monwealth. Among others of less note,
the following visited the firm of Compton
& Sons, and perhaps other firms not so
solid, but more fluid, viz; Bob Toombs,
Jeff. Davis, Governor Lumpkin, George
Washington and Aleck Stephens. It is
hardly necessary to add that they were
all black.and were seen together following
a banjo picker around the streets.
We did not have all of the above in
Macon, hut are confident Andrew Jack-
son and U. S. Grant, Jr., of the ace-of-
spado variety were in the city on Christ
mas day.
Burning of the Factory.—Union
and Recorder : A little after 12 o’clock
on Friday night the quiet of the city was
disturbed by tlie usual fire alarms. It
was soon discovered that the fire was at
the Factory, the main building of which
was burning at the top. The building
was five stories high with an attic, and
here the fire is supposed to have originated.
The building was brick aud with nearly
its entire machinery was destroyed. None
of the adjacent buildings, which were of
wood, were burnt, tlie walls of the main
building affording a barrier to the pro
gress of tlie flames. How the fire origi
nated is a mystery thus far. The night
watchman had just struck the hour of 12
by the bell, and had descended to his ac
customed stand but a few minutes when
the fire broke out.
The Factory was built originally about
the year 184.5, and hail been in operation
continuously, since that time, up to a re-,
cent date, when its operations were sus
pended. About five or six years ago an
addition was made to the main building,
and a good deal of new and “improved
machinery put in. The amount of insu
rance on the destroyed property is $21,000.
We do not know whether this will cover
the loss or not. We understand that the
whole property of the Factory in the city,
including much valuable land and many
tenement and other houses, was estimated
at $40,000, in the assignment.
Breach Promise Case.—Swainsboro
Herald: Last Thursday morning K. W.
Dickerson was arraigned before the Supe
rior Court on a breach of promise brought,
by Miss Liner, and created considerable
interest and excitement, consuming almost
tlio entire day. Late in tlie afternoon,
when tlie case was in tlie height of the
excitement, the, parties walked up before
Judge Johnson and stopped the proceed
ings by calling on him to perform the
marriage ceremony, This was an unex
pected result to many, and caused consid
erable stir in the court room.' Judge
Johnson was very positive and precise in
his demands on: both parties, and after
giving them considerable logical advice,
pronounced them man and wife, and al
lowed them to go on their way rejoicing.
Killing in Thomasvtlle.—Post:
On Monday, the 22nd, an unfortunate af

created no little excitement. It appears
that a man well known in this city

money, and the affair culminated in one
of the accused buying a cowhide and
making liberal applications of tlie same
to the person of tlie man. Warrants were
issued by Magistrate Russell, and an ar

Pointed and Truthful Words.’-
Discoursing upon the new Interest law
in New York, tlie Herald says:
On and after the 1st of January next
the maximum rate of interest permitted
by the laws of this State will he six per
cent. This rate, the banks and all private
lenders will be compelled to observe un
der a penalty of los3 of the interest Charg
ed and twice the amount cf excess of in
terest over tho legal rate. We presume
there is no doubt the banks will very
generally obey the letter of the law. But
it by no means follows that tlie borrowers
will he benefited. With such a low rate
of interest, the 1 anks will feel that they
cannot afford to take the same degree of
risk as when they got one per cent. more.
They will consequently be more
choice in their selection of" names,
and second class borrowers will be
driven to borrow elsewhere. In other
words, weak borrowers will be compelled
to go to the class known as “note shavers,”
who will get out of them, in . one way or
another, half as much more interest as
they would have had to pay at bank. The
takers of these notes will endorse them,
and, with this additional guarantee, they
will find no difficulty in getting them dis
counted at hank. Thus, the direct effect
of the lowering of the legal minimum will
be to create or rather increase au inter
mediary class of lenders, who find it pos
sible to obtain a double rate of interest
and yet escape the law. This interference
with the freedom of trade in money there
fore acts directly to the detriment of tlie
weaker class, whom it should be the busi
ness of the State to protect, and tlie only
people who are permitted to get the bene
fits of loaned capital at a fair and reason
able rale are those who least need such
help. ' r. . i:i •

At the meeting of the City Council on

Mr. McLaughlin has been forcGd to take

Notwithstanding this, however,, he’ has
faithfully and efficiently discharged the
duties of his position. Mr. McLaughlin’s
election as the “The People’s Candidate,”

Yesterday Mr. A. R. McLaughlin, an
old and well-known citizen of Macon,
died at liis residence in this city. He was
at one time a large merchant and capital

name was still regularly enrolled among
its honorary members. He ^ will be
buried this morning with military honors.
Cost of Railway Outfits.
A railway expert said yesterday that
since last fall track iron and steel, fish
bars, spikes and all iron material which
enters into, railway construction, have
risen about fifty per cent, in price, arid
tho outlook is .very unfavorable for local
roads, which cannot correspondingly ad
vance their income. About 9,000 miles
of road are now in process of construc
tion in the United States.
A Fact not' to be Forgotten.—
We trust it will he borne in mind during

—We learn from Mr. Foster, the jailer,

and during tlult time the men escaped.
He has strong hopes of retaking them.

—Gas Mex Tranquil.—The New
A oik Sun has interviewed prominent offi
cers in all the gas companies on the elec
tric light. Chief Engineer Smith, of the
Manhattan Company, said: “The large
holders of gas stock are not yet alarmed
at the prospect of the electric light com
petition. The more intelligent holders oi
stock keep pace with all the news as to the
ligl vnnd they.are not in the least alarm
ed. The latest improvement in the elec
tric light have not increased the immediate
probability of'displacing gas with electric
ity. When the .fluiry was made last fall
our directors made investigations and be
came satisfied that there will not for some
time he any. cause for fear.,'The investi
gations were not trivial nor superficial,
but were as thorough as tiiey. could then
be made.” Other, interviews were to the
same effect. The gas men think there
are many obstacles to overcome and many
important details to be worked out before
electric illumination can become a suc-
■ cast' 5, “ ‘
—The Philadelphia Record's analysis
of the iron situation is remarkable. The
year 1SS0, it says, will'see more railroad
building than any year before ever did.
There are about 0,000 miles of new road
under contract to be .built then. There
are also 90,000 miles, now built, upon
winch the' repairs amount, to about 10 per
cent. We have therefore 18,000 miles ot
railroad to he built in 1SS0. it is expect
ed that tlie direct railroad interest will
call for 2,460,000 tons of metal. Furnace
men are full of business and are refusing
orders for April and May deliveries at
present prices. In 1872 foundry* iron in
Philadelphia was $53 a ton: in 1S7S it
was $18;. to-day it is $33.50. They'arc
talking $50. as possible again. At the
close of 1878, .out of 692 furnaces in the
country 265 were in blast. It is thought
that January 1st,' 18S0, will see not less
than 700 going, a good many new. Furnaces
having been lately built, in addition to
the old Ones that are unlighted.
—Magic Grains of Corn.—Warts
on the hand, says the Brunswick (Georgia)
Advertiser, are quits a nuisance, and how
to get rid of them is often a question of
interest. There lives in Liberty county,
where we visited the past week, a colored
woman who professes to'take them off by
some secret charm, A little nephew • of
the writer, who had thirty-eight of the ex
crescences on his hands, called on her re
cently for treatment. She -counted care
fully the warts, and securing an equal
number of grains of com, rubbed eqcli
wart with a separate grain of com, caus
ing some, cf the large ones to bleed.
These thirty-eight grains of the ‘‘staff of
life” were carefully preserved and carried
home.by the doctress, who. informed her
patient that his warts would drop off in
eight days. Pa the . seventh day every
one fell off leaving the sldn smooth and
soft. Now the question arises, what did
she do with the com, and what caused the
warts to drop? We can vouch for the
above statement, as we have it from tha
best of authority—persons with whom wo
have been intimate for years—who were
present at the time.
Ohio KuKlux.—Ohio and Ken
tucky have been disputing preeminence in
violence for a number of years. The last
performance inOhio meritsnotice. Three
men, armed, entered the house of Bernard
Pickens, an old German, in Delphos, on
Christmas and demanded his money.
Being refused they shot Mm through
the brain. They then seized his wife,
bound her and applied fire to her feet un
til she disclosed the Mding place of tha
money.
