and lias a superb harbor, with an area of
fifty-four square miles of water, deep
enough for the largest vessels. Ex-United

zetland, lias been buying up land around
Tefiolovanipo bay for years, being Ann in
the belief that a great commercial city
will exist there at some tinVe.
Beau-Heading.—The railroads occa
sionally complain of dcad-lieading, but
no institution suffers so much from it* as
the press. A sensible writer says: “ Tlie
press endures tlie affliction of dead-liead-
ism from tlie pulpit, the liar and tlie stage
—from corporations, societies and individ
uals. It is expected to yield its interests;
it is requested to give strength to the weak,
eyes to the blind, clothes to the naked and
bread to tlie hungry; it is asked to cover
infirmities, hide weaknesses and wink at
quacks; bolster up dull authors and flatter
the vain; it is, in short, to be all things to
ail men, and if it looks for pay or reward
it is denounced as mean and sordid. There
is no interest under the whole heavens
that is expected to give so much to society
without pay or thanks as the press.”
Reducing the National Debt,
Washington dispatch says; It lias keen
the ambition of Secretary Sliomian ever
since lie became the head of the Treasury
Department to reduce the public debt be
low $2,000,000,000 during liis term of in
cumbency. To-day in liis debt statement
he comes within $784,000 of it, and this
amount he expects to wipe out in his next
monthly statement. The reduction of
over $11,000,000 shown to-day is the larg
est monthly reduction since 1872. The
revenues of the Government have of late
been constantly increasing, especially from
customs. Tlie internal revenue receipts
for the last, six months of the last year
were $5,000,000 in excess of tlie receipts
for the corresponding period of the pre
vious year, and the customs receipts in the
same time were $16,000,000 more than for
the corresponding period of the previous
year.
Stkange STony of a Lead Pencil.—
Five years ago a man at Hartford, Con
necticut, fell and became insensible. A
surgeon then found a slight wound in his
laxly close to the heart, and thought the
man had been either stabbed or shot. A
few days later, however, small pieces of
black lead began to come out of the wound
and it was then concluded that in falling
the point of a lead pencil which the man
had in liis vest pocket had penetrated tlie
body. Probing later brought out a little
wood. Monday the surgeons used the
kuife, and, to their astonishment, a whole
lead pencil, which had been sharpened
but once, was extracted. It was five and
one-eighth inches long, and the wood
was split in two. It had been completely
imbedded below tbe chest and not half an
inch from the heart. The man Is very
weak, but it is tbongbt he will recover.
—An organization called the Democra
tic Union has been formed in New York
for tbe campaign of 1880. It already
numbers in its ranks many leading Dem
ocrats who have heretofore been iden
tified with one or the other of the Demo
cratic organizations in that city. The ob
ject of tlie union is to secure harmony in
the Democratic party, even at the sacrifice
of both Tildcn and Kelly, if necessary.
“The French Government officially

or protect, or in any way make itself re

the building of an inter-oceanic canal. It

Will Bring Sait.
We understand that suit will be brought
bj the family of Mr. J. C. Patterson,
*ho was recently killed at Gordon,
ngninst the Central railroad for damages.
The suit will be based on the verdict of the
coroner’s jury which decided that Mr. Pat
erson was killed by the passenger train.
There is considerable doubt in the
•ainds of many as to the cause of his death,
many believing that he was first murdered
and placed on the track. The case will
bo an interesting one if it comes to trial,
nud may develop some additional facts
which will make the whole transaction
appear in a clearer light.

BELSHAZZAR.
A Brilliant Matinee.
A large audience assembled yesterday
afternoon at Ralston nail to witness the
last performance of Belshazzar, and
though it was the eighth rendition in tlie
city of the opera, the interest seemed un
abated. This is due to two things, the
high merit of the work and the excellence
of the interpretation of it by tlie amateur
musicians of this city.
Yesterday afternoon, Professor Butter
field took the character of “Zerubbabel,”
and presented it in a thoroughly artistic
style. The music of the part was fault
lessly rendered and he showed that he
was not only an author, but an artist of
no mean degree. During the first act, a
beautiful floral tribute was presented to
him on the stage.
The characters were all sustained most
admirably, and the performance was pro
nounced by many to be the most perfect of
given in Macon. The role of “Tamar”
was taken by Miss Minnie Wood, and in
the toast songs she acquitted herself ad
mirably amid enthusiastic applause.
As Lord Chamberlain in the last act
as in the others Mr. J. C. Powell filled
the role very finely.
To no one is tlie success of the entertain
ments due more than to Mrs. Boykin
She ’ has presided at the piano faith
fully from the first rehearsal to tho final
entertainment, and by her skill and mas
tery of the music and instrument, has
made the performances what they are—
successes that Macon can be proud of.
Professor Newman, musical director,
has also discharged the duties of his posi
tion with great ability.
Catholic School Entertainment.
On the evening of the 10th instant a
musical and literary entertainment will
be given under the auspices of the Build
ing Committee of the Fourth street Public
School, in the Catholic Church building
on that street. The object of the enter
tainment is to raise money for the benefit
of the school. It should be largely pat
ronized.
Held for Postage.
Letters are held for postage in the Ma
con office for Walter Tucker, Americus,
and William A. Cessna, Macon Factory,
city. The latter is an important letter.
The Wonderful Midgets.
On next Monday the Wonderful Mid
gets will open an exhibition in Masonic
Hall. The “Midgets” are composed of two
minute specimens of humanity in the per
sons of General Mite, whose weight is
nine pounds, and Major Atom, who pulls
the beam at fifteen. Their performances
are wonderful, and wherever they have
exhibited they had crowds to see them.
A Sharp Old Darkey.—They say
you can’t find an ear of com with an odd
number of rows of grains. In slavery
times a Richmond, Kentucky, slave told
his master that he had seen com with odd
rows. His master bet him his freedom
that he hadn’t and couldn’t. In the fall
the darkey brought his master an ear with
thirteen rows of grains, and got his free
dom. The same moke confessed the other
day that the ear had fourteen rows, but
he cut out one with a sharp knife without
removing the ear from the stalk, and tied
it up to grow straight.
Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup is a purely veg
etable compound, innocent in nature, and
which was present, would have assembled
at tlie hall. The programme presented was
one of the best selected, and certainly one
of tlie best rendered we have had the
pleasure of hearing recently. It was
opened with the Fifty-Fifth regiment
march by Weingarten, by the Harmonic
Society, orchestra. The selection was
well rendered. The orchestra continues
to improve. The vocal quartette, to
have been sung by Messrs. -Wood,
Everett, Clancy and Price, was omitted.
A vocal duett, “Boat Song,” Weber, by
Miss Crippen and Mrs. A. Davis, was
beautifully sung. Tho voices of the ladies
were in true accord, and the selection full
of beautiful passages was handsomely
given. An encore was acknowledged
with bows.
“Little Nell,” a simple but pleasing
piece, was sung by Mr. Luther Williams.
The audience called for Him quite persis
tently and the compliment was acknowl
edged by a bow.
Miss Zitella Cocke played an instru
mental solo, * Capricio,” in her most ad
mirable style. Her touch is artistic and
the true spirit of the piece was brought
out. On encore, a selection in waltz time
was beautifully rendered which, though
less artistic, was very pretty.
Miss Ethel Crippen sang “The lost
Chord” by Sullivan. The selection is one
which requires close study to render
satisfactorily. It was, however, last even
ing sung with delicate expression and fine
effect. For an encore she sang “Hannah’s
at the window,” in response to the request
of several, to the entire satisfaction of the
audience.
Mrs. R. K. Hines favored the audience
with “Robin Redbreast” by Hubbard.
The song is a dainty aud beautiful little
gem, and as sung by Mrs. Hines, in a pure
cultivated voice, finely schooled, clear and
sweet, was admired by all.
The orchestra rendered Donau Leider,
by Strauss, with its accustomed skill.
“Under tlie Beautiful Stars,” composed
by Professor Butterfield, was sung exquis
itely by Mr. T. S. Lowry. It is a truly
beautiful composition. The melody is
delicious. Mr. Lowry last evening was hi
excellent voice, and rendered the song
with a purity of tone and accuracy of ex
pression, which was appreciated and ap
plauded by liis hearers. He was encored,
and repeated the closing verse.
Miss H. Hall sang O Mlo Fernando,
from the opera La Favorita. Her voice
is a pure contralto of wonderful cultiva
tion, mellow, rich and sympathetic. The
selection opens with a few passages clas
sic in their beauty. Miss Hall’s
method is fine. In the selection are sev
eral climaxes, which were rendered with
great skill.
“1 Live and Love Thee,” a vocal due tt
by Campana, by Miss Jessie Hardeman
and Mrs. C. A. Sindali, won for both
ladies much applause. Tlie selection
was good, and as sung by two such popu
lar and accomplished vocalists, it could
not fail to give great pleasure.
Donizetti’s “fic/t non voter Costrin-
gere,” was elegantly sung by Mrs. J. E
Wells, Jr. She is a favorite with Macon
audiences.
Her voice is one of the best cultivated
in the city, under perfect control, and re
markably clear and sweet. The rendition
of the selection last evening was all that
was expected. She was encored, and ac
knowledged it with a bow.
Tlie orchestra played a selection from
Strauss.
Miss Cocke sang “Hush, Thee, my Ba
by,” by Pease, in splendid style, in a
voice of fine range, cultivation and remark
able flexibility. Her performance was
exceedingly good. She was twice en
cored, responding first with a difficult se
lection, and the second time with a bow.
In response to a special invitation Prof.
Butterfield sang a solo. “Guardian An
gel,” by Goundd, was and chosen was
rendered in an exquisitely beautiful man
ner. The clear, pure, beautiful tones
made the song a memory which will not
soon pass away. The compliment of an
encore received acknowledgement by a
bow.
The concert was the best given in the
city since the Thayer concerts.
The Fire on the “City of Macon. 1
The New York World prints the report
of Captain Kempton to Mr. George
Youuge, the agent of the steamship com
pany in that city. He says
“At 10 o’clock a. m., left Savannah. At
12:15 p. m., passed Tybee sea buoy. At
12:30 p. m., thick fog. At 1:10 p. m., the
ship off Martin’s Industry lightship.
About 1:45 p. m., the chief engineer rc-
jorted at the pilot-house that there must
ie a fire in the hold by the smell of the
shaft alley. I immediately sent the first
officer to ascertain the location of the fire,
if any. He quickly reported fire in the
upper between-deck, alt. Immediately
sounded fire alarm and stopped the en
gines. Instantly got one stream of water
on the fire which was quickly followed by
two other streams. Turned the steam
from tbe boilers into the between-deck,
which, with the smoke, was so suffocating
that tlie men could not stay at the fire,
necessitating, tlie steam to be shut off.
Soon had tlie fire under control. Opened
the cargo port and threw overboard all the
burned caigo and some not burned which
was in the way of getting at the fire.
Meantime the fog clearcd|away; discovered
the steamship Juniata, from Savannah, of
and bound to Philadelphia, about two
miles west; set signals of distress, which
were quickly observed by the Juniata and
caused her to come to us; asked the cap
tain to lay by us unti. wo were positive
that the fire was all put out; this the
captain kindly did and offered assistance;
about 3:30 p. m., the fire being all out,
steamed on our course, keeping company
with the Juniata; restowed the cargo,
hailed the water out of the between-decks,
laid the hose for immediate use and set a
strict watch; at 1030, Cape Romaine light
bearing northwest, after a strict examina
tion, seeing no more signs of fire, steamed
at full speed, parting company with the
Juniata, and arrived safely at our dock in
New York; suppose there were about
forty bales of cotton and some miscella
neous freight thrown overboard, the
greater part of which was more or less
burned and all very wet, as there was
about one foot and a half of water on the
deck in the vicinity of the fire; tho under
side of the bottom tier and the cargo un
der the hatches must be considerably wet;
damages to the ship very slight, side and
deck being iron.”
The City of Macon shows no sign of
the fire, except that her decks are slightly
warped, showing how intense the heat
must have been. Mr. Younge, the agent,
said : “I do not think the fire originated
on the steamer; it was most likely smoul
dering in one of the bales when it was
shipped, but of course I canuot say posi
tively. Of course there was some confu
sion among the passengers when the fire
was first discovered, but it was only for a
few minutes, and when asked if they
would leave the ship, the passengers
said they preferred to remain where they
were.”
The City of Macon was thirty-six hours

BLOOD ON THE MOON— H3ABLT.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger.—
There are painful rumors to tlie . above
effect. They concern the M. C. from the
Ninth Georgia district, which his name is
Emory Speer, and “Samuel Small,” “Old
Si,” of the Atlanta Constitution. As I
learn, he recently registered at a Balti
more hotel. There was some unpleasant
ness touching one or two hard questions
that Small had put to Speer as to whether
the latter was or was not favorable to Sim
mons’ confirmation as census supervisor;
the answerto which he threatened tomake
public through the columns of the bugle
horn of liberty and battle axe of free
dom. Speer resented this attempt to ap
ply the screws,and made ready for action,
accompanying the game with some plain
words of very robust English, when
.friends interfered and peace was com
pelled. I tell the story as ’twas told to me
with the blessed consolation that no gore
was either set on lap or is likely to be.
YOUNO MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE.
And speaking of Speer reminds me
the fact expressed as above. There are
more of them than for many years past.
R. Graham Frost, of St. Louis, leads the
youthful band who first ran for Congress
in 1876, failing of an election then, when
he was under twenty-five. Taylor, of the
first Tennessee district, the young lawyer
who has the reputation of having fiddled
his way into the House, carrying a Re
publican district by sheer force of his pop
ularity among the mounta'nenrs of East
Tennessee, will not be thirty until next
July; and Acklen, of Louisiana, is only
couple of montlis his senior, while Speer,
of Georgia, is but little over thirty-on#
Frost is a very boyish-looking fellow ii
the light business suit which he usually
wears, and it would not he at all strange
if he is sometimes mistaken for one of the
pages by a colleague, as he not
frequently is by spectators. Speer looks
so young that nobody who should see him
outside his seat would suppose lie was a
member of Congress. Indeed, a little in
cident which occuired in a street car go
ing up Capitol Hill this morning, shows
that not all his fellow-members yet know
him as a law-maker. A scholarly repre
sentative from Ohio of nearly twice his
years fell into conversation with him, but
they had not talked long before the West
erner, apparently suspecting that he was
beiug intei viewed, “uubeknownst,” re
marked inquiringly, “You’re a journalist,
aren’t you, sir ?” His surprise may be
imagined when the young man replied
“No, sir; I am a member of the House
from Georgia.”
By tlie way. I have been very much
struck recently by the vastly improved
appearance of tlie member from tlie Ninth
district. He has discarded that battered
old broad-brimmed slouch hat he wore
when lie first came here, replacing it with
a stylish glistening beaver, and has also
gotten rid of a rather disreputable looking
and slouchy overcoat, which used to en
shroud liis manly form. From a rustic
grub worm, so to speak, he lias bloomed
Into a dainty debonair butterfly
fashion, veiy much to tlie betterment of
his outward man. When lie is in full rig,
and holding the reins over that dashing
bay he recently bought in Baltimore, his
up-country friends and admirers would
hardly know him.
THE SAME OLD STORY.
I have no change to make in former quo
tations as to the condition of the Congres’
sioual situation. It is still flat as stale
beer and promises little better hereafter.
If it were not for the discussion in tlie
House on the report of the committee on
rules, that body would be the best place in
the United States to visit with somnolent
intentions. It seems to me, the wisdom
is in a conspiracy against visitors in tbe
galleries—nobody says anything smart,
nor even attempts to. Even Cox and
Horr seem actually ashamed of their
blackguard efforts the other day, an.l have
shrunk out of sight ami hearing. What
shall we do? True, there are Messrs.
Hill aud Blaine in tbe Senate, hut the lat
ter is suffering so much just now from
chills recently contracted in Cameronia,
and the former is too chivalrous to strike
a man when he is so down as Blaine is
just now. Let us hope, though, that tlie
unnatural calm will soon come to au end
It is an imposition on the public, and a
positive affront to the newspapers. From
Edmund’s looks and Conkling’s actions,
they too,are “spilin” for a ruction of some
sort,and I shouldn’t be at all surprised if
it don’t break out like a house afire very
soon.
THE TRUE INWARDNESS OF IT,
The true inwardness of tho negro exo
dus from North Carolina is being thor.
ouglily developed by Senator Voorhees'
committee. One of the witnesses, Thomas
Wells, of Indianapolis, a Radical, was ex
amined yesterday, and testified that ha
remarked to “the boys” when the North
Carolina negroes first began to arrive at In
dianapolis, “We want 20,000 ‘bucks,’ not
women and children.”
Mr. Voorhees—You wanted them to
vote?
Witness—Yes, we wanted them to
vote.
Mr. Voorhees—Well, that’s a square
answer. You thought if you had them
you could politically ‘slay’ us.
Witness—Yes, we thought if we had
them we could get away with you ever
lastingly. (Laughter).
Mr. Voorhees—But they brought
good many women and children with
them.
Witness—Yes, they “over done” the
thing on women and children,
hut we thought it would be a good thing
to scatter ’em around on cheap lands.
Mr. Voorhees (interrupting—In close
counties ?
Witness—Well, yes; in closo counties,
(Renewed laughter.)
Mr. Voorhees—State whether these
views, which you have given so frank
ly, are shared by your party in Indiana?
The witness replied that he thought
they were to a great extent concurred in
by individual members of the party, but
he did not know of any party organization
or party effort to draw negroes to Indiana.
He believed the colored people had not a
fair chance to vote, or at least were likely
to be “counted out” in North Carolina,
and it was only right to give them a
chance in Indiana. Some of these immi
grants still remain in Indianapolis wait
ing for the season for farm labor to open,
but all those who have gone to the ru
ral districts have found work.
Witness introduced Perry and Williams
to Colonel Jordan, the Bankruptcy Regis
ter : they wanted assistance and he knew
they had money when they returned from
their interview with Jordan; they also
wanted an introduction to United States
Marshal Dudley, but witness did not
know him; the money with which trans
portation to Greencastle from Indianap
olis was procured for fifty or sixty of the
emigrants was raised through United
States Mail Agent Reynolds.”

The Chinese Cuisine.
A shark’s fin is a great delisacy
which is rarely omitted from the menu at
a Chinese feast. It is one of the “great
classic dishes ” forming the pieces de re
sistance of an official banquet, and is
eaten either in tlie form of a joint, gar
nished with crabs, or served up in small
pieces in cups placed before each guest.
The consumption of rats, though it seems
to be somewhat on the decline, is the
cause of a very important traffic in the
principal towns of certain districts, and
especially in a street in Canton called
Hing-Loung-Kai. Here these animals
may be seen in enormous multitudes
hanging up in the shop windows among
chickens and ducks and geese. They are
for the most part dried and salted, and
when in that state are esteemed a sover
eign recipe for those whose hair is get-
t’nt; thin.
Besides the dishes peculiar to the Celes
tials alone, there are a variety of differ
ences in their mode of cooking and eating
food unknown to our cuisine. Hams, for
nstance, are kept for a year, or even two
years, buried in heaps of sawdust, which
impart to them a taste of wood much ap
preciated by the gourments. Broad beans
are fermented, and after being mixed with
salt, form a very favorite sauce, eaten with
all sorts of viands. ‘ Finally the habit of
eating “rotton eggs,” which sounds so
strange to European ears, is explained by
Milo S. Freeman; used in transporting
the mails to and from the depot to the
post-office, when the horse ran into some
obstructions in the middle of the street.
The whole team was brought to a sudden
halt. On getting out it was found that
the horse had run into a tall, wooden
horse which had been laid across the end
of a deep ditch across the street designed
for a sewer pipe. When halted the horse
was found standing on the cross pieces
used as supports of the frame above a ditch
nine feet deep and two and a half wide,
with the wagon, which had mounted the
earth thrown out for the ditch, pressing
upon the horse.
Several persons ran to relieve the situa
tion and the traces were loosened and the
wagon drawn back. While doing this,
however, the horse moved aud the light
wood work under his feet gave way, pre
cipitating him to the bottom of the ditch
and laid there evidently stunned for some
time. Five hands were hired, and after
digging down the end of the ditch to an
incline, the horse, with great difficulty,
was led up to level ground. His rescue
was greeted with cheers. No injuries
were apparent and the horse was hitched
up and driven off. The legs of the wood
en horse, which were pointing in the di
rection of the approaching wagon, nar
rowly missed the heads of its occupants.
The ditch is being dug for a sewer to
drain the cellar of the new building on
the comer of Second and Poplar streets.
A narrow passage way of solid earth has
been left in the middle of the street and
the ends of the ditch covered with two of
the wooden framework described above.
No light whatever was burning to give
warning of danger to those unfamiliar
with the [present condition of the street.
After the accident officer Wrye and
Mosely, who rendered much aid in extri
cating the horse, procured a lamp and
put it at the place to warn others of
the danger.
BREVITIES.
—This evening at eight o’clock, the He
brew Young Men’s Literary Association
will give another of its entertainments,
the programme consisting of literary and
musical exercises.
—In two more days, Mr. Blue, the City
Clerk, will be compelled to issue execu
tions against those who fail in that time
to pay up their license taxes. The
amount of the license to be collected by
the citv this year is much less' than last,
under the provisions of the funding bill,
and it is absolutely necessary that this
tax should be closely collected to enable
tlie city government to go on without in
curring additional debts.
—Mr. J. F. Moore, of Dublin, who was
tried for the murder of Mr. A. E. Corbett,
son of Colonel E. C. Corbett, of this city,
was acquitted in that place on Wednesday
last. The case was one of the most inter
esting ones that has ever been tried in
Dublin. The counsel included six attor
neys for the prosecutofn, among whom
were Colonels Sam Hall and W. A. Lof
ton, and four for the defense.
—Last evening two. darkeys had a set
to in Johnson’s store on cotton avenue at
the comer of Poplar street. The aid of
the police was called for and officers
Wrye and Mosely answered the summons
arrested the [two combatants and towed
the dusky warriors to the barracks.
—An unknown white man was found
in an insensible condition from too much
whisky, and was carted to the barracks
last night. He was unable to give his
name and was placed in a cell to sleep off
the effects of the alcohol.
—A tandem team on Second street at
tracted a great deal of notice yesterday
afternoon. Many said it was the first
time they had seen this style of driving
since the war.
—Quite a number of theatre goers in
the city express a desire to see Mr. Pauld.
ing in some other role than that of Ham
let on the night of his first appearance,
and there is some little talk of a request
numerously signed, to be addressed him
asking that the ohange he made.
Sambo to the Front.—Baltimore
Advertiser: On motion of Mrs. Belva A,
Lockwood, Samuel R. Lowrey, was ad
mitted to the bar of the Supreme Court
to-day. Mr. Lowrey is axolored man and
is president of the colored college or aca
demy at Huntsvilie, Alabama. He is the
fifth person of his race wlic has been ad
mitted to the bar of the Supreme Court,
but so far none of them have had any
cases. Mrs. Lockwood was so determined
herself to be admitted to the bar of the
Supremo Court, that, after the Court re
fused her, she got Congress to pass a spe
cial act providing for her admission.
A Telephone Wonder.—At Hartford
recontly, Mr. J. G. Batterson “ called”
One oi the hotels and asked if an acquain
tance was in his room and could be seen
in half an hour. Keeping the telephone
Ills ear, Mr. Batterson heard the hotel
clerk call a waiter and give the message.
He heard the steps of the waiter as he
went up stairs; heard him knock at the
gentleman’s door; heard the door open;
the message delivered; the gentleman’s re
ply ; the returning steps of the waiter; his
conversation with the clerk, and was in
possession of all the facts before the clerk
reached the telephone to reply to the ques
tion asked.
—Alexander C. Wells, who has been
nominated to bo Surveyor of the Port of
New Orleans is the son of J. Madison
Wells, of retuming-board fame, wh» now
holds the office to which his son has been
nominated. Mr. Wells was here several
weeks ago, and since then it has been ar
ranged that his son should be nominated
to succeed him. Secretary Sherman said
to-night that h# was in favor of reappoint
ing the old man, but it was thought that
the Senate would refuse to confirm him,
and the next best thing was to appoint his
son, against whom, it is said, even Louisi
ana Democrats can make no objection, ex
cept on the ground of his relationship.
This, however, is yet to he proved.
—“Our republican form of govern

had his coat tom, which in no measure
served to heal his already lacerated feel

and struck Lewis twice over the head
with it. The compliment was returned
with a brick aeainst the head of his an
tagonist, and he then retired from tlie'fielU
of carnage. As he was going around the
comer, Jason ran up in the rear and
stabbed him with a pocket knife in the
right shoulder.
The wounded man was taken to Dr.
Ferguson’s office, who skillfully repaired
the damages. The blade of the knife,
fortunately for the darkey, struck the
shoulder blade and glanced. Lewis is
employed by Mr. Milo Freeman in the
mail transfer at the car shed. Jason is

that have so long defied human science

unfetters the stammering tongue aud bids
it speak with ease and fluency.
He is demonstrating in his daily prac

Macon, Georgia, February 1, 1880.
I hereby certify that Dr. Moses has
cured a severe cancer of twenty-five
years’ duration on my lip without * dis

Atlanta, Ga., January 20, 1880.
This is to certify that I have recently
been afflicted with two caucers—one oil
my nose and the other on my upper lip.
It has been about four years since they
began to make tlieir appearance, and have
continued to progress until about a month
ago, when Dr. Moses began to treat them.
He lias entirely removed them both, and
without the aid of knife or instrument of
any kind, and they appear to lie entirely
and permanently cured. I cheerfully rec
ommend his treatment to all in need of
such help.

The Exodus Testimony.
Washington, February 7.—Before the
Exodus Committee to-day, Leonard G. A.
Hackney, prosecuting attorney for the
District in which Shelbyville, Indiana, is
located, testified that a number of colored
emigrants arrived at Shelbyville, Decem
ber 12. The Mayor of the town called a
meeting of the Council, when a committee
was appointed to make provision for the
destitute among them. They numbered
twenty-six. About twenty came after
wards. They are still scattered about the
town. The county is Democratic, but
the Congressional District is doubtful and
very close. A meeting of the citizens was
held, at which it was resolved that the law
of 1852, inflicting a penalty of five hun
dred dollars upon any one who should
bring a pauper into the State, should be
enforced. Witness learned from a negro
named Flowers and a Mr.'Parker, that
twelve or fifteen hundred negroes would
.be sent into Indiana before Februaty 1.
Several other witnesses were examined,
but nothing of importance was developed,
their testimony being similar to that
heretofore taken.
