MACON, FEBRUARY 18 -6SO.
A French chemist asserts that if tea
be grouna like coffee, immediately before
hot water is poured upon it, its exhilarat
ing qualities will be doubled.
A Mr. Harris, formerly of Preston,
England, has left that town $1,250,000 for
educational purposes, and $500,000 to
what is known as the Queen Anne’s
Bounty fund for aiding poor clergy. '
Curates seem to be much better paid
in England than formerly. The adver
tisements for them in no case offer less
than $500, and the most from $600 to $S50,
Whereas $500 used to be the maximum.
The fact is that there is a dearth of edu
cated, eligible men.
—Charles .Jones, a third owner of a
Leadville mine worth $1,000,000, died
Without a will. A lawyer taking advan
tage of a small mortgage, got fraudulent
possesion of the property; but some miners
discovered the scheme, and have found
heirs in a poverty-stricken Vermont fam
ily.
—With an exquisite naivete a Mexican
contemporary gravely announces that
General Juan Haro, “ex-Chief of the Cus
tom Hause guard of the Rio Grande fron
tier,” threatens to tell who are the princi
pal contrabandists in that section.” Gen
eral Juan Haro evidently forgets that ex-
officers of a government may be prosecut
ed for revealing official secrets.
—It is stated at Dallas, Texas, that Jay
Gould and Thomas A. Scott, representing
the Texas Pacific and Missouri, Kansas
and Texas railroads, have purchased all
the outstanding beads and securities of
the Dallas and Wachita railroad, which
will be extended so as to make Dallas the
terminus of the Missouri, Kansas and
. Texas road, and making the latter a com
peting line of the Texas Central.
—It is stated in New Orleans that the
Louisville and Nashville railroad combi
nation have purchased the New Orleans
and Mobile railroad. The price paid is
four million in bonds bearing C per cent,
interest. To perfect the title and legally
carry out the provisions of the contract be
tween the parties, an order of the court
for the sale of the. road will be necessary,
therefore the new company will not take
formal possession for some time.
—Theodore Tilton was to lecture in
Parson, Kansas, .md'the committee was
at tiie station to receive him. They step
ped up and welcomed with fervor and en
thusiasm a long-haired gentleman who
alighted. He seemed greatly astonished
at the reception, and at length said: “I
don’t know, gentlemen, what you mean
by all this; but this I will say, that I will
remove warts or bunions in thirty minutes
Without pain, or forfeit jny reputation.'
It was an itinerant com doctor whom they
had mistaken *br Tilton.
—From numerous experiments made in
the great hospital at 1’osen, Prussia, it ap
pears that ice is a most effectual remedy
for small-pox. One of the patients in a fit
of delirium, escaped to the garden, where
the snow lay two feet deep. There he re
mained the whole night with no covering
but his shirt. In the morning the fever
had subsided and the pnstles had dried,
This strange circumstance attracted the
physicians’ attention, and, after consulta
tion, they determined to Keep the temper
ature of the small-pox wards very low and
apply small quantities of Ice to the pa
tients. The results passed their expecta
tions, and at the end of a week all the pa
tients had recovered.
As Infamous Nomination. — The
nomination, of Mr. A. C. Wells, says the
Philadelphia Times, son of James Madison
Wells, to the Surveyorship of the port of
New Orleans, is an insult to every in
stinct of public decency. He is the pres
ent deputy surveyor, and his brother, S. S.
Wells, is another subordinate in office.
The father, one of the infamous Returning
B^ard of Louisiana, has been the Surveyor
for a term, and he now demands the office
again from Hayes and the unpaid balance
of the price of his flagrant frauds in 1S70.
• The President has been restrained from
appointing tlic father by the fear of public
opinion; but he has proposed to pay the
debt demanded by one of the chief crimi
nals of the land by the appointment of the
son.
A Promising Young Georgian.—Mr.
Idus L. Fielder, who removed from Ran
dolph county to Arkansas two years ago,
has made his mark there as a talent
ed member of the legal profession and
zealous and eloquent temperance advo
cate. The Arkansas Democrat, published
at Little Rock, makes this kindly mention
ofhim: • '
Mr. 1. L. Fielder, one of Ozark’s talent
ed sons, the youngest speaker chosen to
address the State Temperance Convention,
made an excellent speech. He is only
twenty-six years of age, and nature has
done much for him. He speaks well and
Will, no doubt, make his mark. , -
The Democrat also prints a full synop
sis of young Fielder’s speech, who was
one of four orators appointed by the State
at largo to address the Convention.' It is
full of fie: y eloquence, and shows that he
is indeed an earnest apostle of temper
ance. We predict for this young Geor
gian a brilliant career in the State of his
adoption. j.
—Mary Clemmer says that in no ptljer
American city is visiting carried to such
an extent as in Washington. Every lady
“in society” has her day for receiving
calls, and the distribution of cards is enor
mous. But calls may be made extensive
ly without invitation. “When strangers
visit Wasliington,” slie adds, “and take up
their abode at a hotel, they have only to
discover tlie days of public reception, hire
a hack and proceed to visit. On Monday
they can go to the homes of the Judges of
the Supreme Court and other courts; on
Wednesday they can call on the Cabi
net ladies; on Thursday visit all the Sena
torial families; and on Saturday go to the
White House to sec Mrs. Hayes. In ev
ery drawing room the visitors will find
standing in its centre from one to a dozen
ladies, richly attired, receiving all with po
liteness, few with that gracious charm
which makes the loneliest visitor feel at
home. Til’s is not strange. These ladies
are compelled so constantly to greet so
many whom they do not know that the
task becomes hot only monotonous but
irksome. These calls involve no personal
recognition. The lady who received you
on Wednesday in her own parlor on
Thursday may meet you on the street
without a glance of recognition.
Last Week’s Cotton Figures.
The Chronicle reports the cotton re
ceipts of the seven days ending last Fri
day night at 112,363 bales, against i71,C6S
for the corresponding week of last year.
Total receipts of the cotton year to that
date, 3,863,664 bales, against 3,441,348 fpr
the corresponding period of the cotton
year 1878-78—reducing the increase to
422,310 bales.
The interior port receipts for the same
days were 56,159, against 63,672 last year.
Shipments 60,123 against 70,490 last year.
Stocks 357,916, against 214,117 last year.
The Chronicle's visible supply table
showed last Friday night 2,478,671 bales
of cotton in sight, against 2,465,498 at the
same date last year—2,692,941 the year
before, and 2,971,446 in 1876—all at same
dates. These figures show an increase ot
13,173 bales on the visible supply of last
year at this date—a decrease of 214,270
bales on the visible supply of 1873 at
same date, and a decrease of 492,775 bales
on the visible supply of 1877 at same date.
Middling uplands were quoted in Liver
pool last Friday at 7}. In 1879,'at same
date, the quotation was 5|—in 1878, at
same date, it was 6J, and in 1877 at same
date Of.
According to the Chronicle's table of
plantation receipts the total from Septem
ber 1st up to last Friday night was 4,214,-
279 bales, against 3,649,813 up to same
date in 1878-9, and 3,479,105 bales in
1877-8.
The Chronicle's weather reports note
light and cool rain drizzles in Texas dur
ing the week. For the month of January
Galveston had 0.60 of rain; Indianola,
4.52;- Corsicana, 0.55; Dallas, 0.35, and
Brenham, 3.50. ,
Louisiana had heavy rains, and roads,
in consequence, are in bad condition.
Light snows flaked the Southwest a little,
but at Nashville they had a snow ten
inches deep on a level. At Memphis there
were four inches. At Mobile there were
3.08 ot Tain during the week, and 1.21 in
January. At Montgomery 2.42 during
the week, and 1.65 in January. At Au-

French and Enelish Agriculture
Contrasted—Emigration the Only
Hope of the Impecunious Tenant.
The secret of the wc:.derful recupera
tive energy of France consists in the fact
that the areas of her farms are small, not
exceeding one-eighth of the average
homesteads in the United States. By re
cent returns, the number of cultivators- of
the soil is put down at J,SI2,182, while
1,441,942 persons lease their farms. The
total number of persons subsisting by ag
riculture Is 18,968,605 out of a total of
about 37,000,000. It has been appositely
remarked that “the French workanm has
been accustomed up to the present time to
look forward to the time when he would
be able to purchase a small holding,
where he could end his days. On the
contrary, the only hope in the future of
the English agricultural laborer has been
emigration to foreign lands, or, in bis de
clining days, the workhouse. This very
difference in their prospects has no doubt
materially aided in fostering that spirit of
economy and patriotism, which is pecu
liar to the French rural population, which
is almost wholly unknown with the rest
less proletarian of the city and to the cor
responding class in other countries.”
In contradistinction to the foregoing sta
tistics, one-fourth of England's entire sur
face is owned by 1,200 landlords, another
fourth by 0,200, a third fourth by 50,170,
and the remainder is itx the possession of
251,870 lesser holders of land. With so
small proportion of the population directly
interested in agriculture as proprietors
of the soil, it is not surprising that
so much dissatisfaction should exist
among the lower classes, composed
for the most part, as they are, of
the teuantry of the nobility and rich land
lords of the realm. Their lot is nothing
less than a species of vassalage or serf
dom. They must vote as directed under
penalty of.eviction from their homes, and
are charged such extravagant rents, that
nothing, save favorable seasons and abun
dant crops can bring them out even at the
end of the year. When the land, by reas
on of drought or excessive floods, fails to
yield her increase, as is tlie case at pres
ent, ah immense amount of destitution
and suffering necessarily ensues.
Then the government is appealed to for
help, and bread riots are likely to follow.
The only true relief that can be afforded
to these struggling agriculturists is to offer
them suitable inducements to emigrate to
America, where land is cheap, and they
may-carve homes for themselves out of
the unbroken wilderness. To thi^end,
then, should our energies be directed, af
ter supplying the temporary wants of the
needy and suffering both in Great Britain
and on the Continent. America can ac
commodate millions of them, and not a
few might find profitable employment at
the South in every capacity, and in all the
industries of the country.

Pensacola Rejoicings—Dr. S. Stan-
diford to tiie Front
From the Courier-Journal ’we learn
that George H. O’Neal,,the Mayor of Pen
sacola, on the 5th instant sent the follow
ing telegram:
Dr. E. D. Standiford, President of
Louisville and Nashville llailroad: Pen
sacola, the deep water barber of the gulf,
sends her cordial greetings and congratu
lates your company on making Pensaco
la the seaport of the West.
Dr. Standiford answered, thanking Mr.
O’Neal for his telegram, and saying that
Pensacola should naturally be the seaport
from which the grain and products of the
Northwest should be shipped.
The object of the road has been to reach
the Gulf where there is a good deep-water
harbor from which to start their line of
steamships. This could not be so easily
reached anywhere else as at Pensacola,
and by purchasing forty-five miles of rail
road from Pensacola to a point on the
Mobile and Montgomery Toad, tlie Louis
ville and Nashville company effected an
easy and direct entrance. They now pos
sess a direct line from Louisville to Pen
sacola, and when the lino of steamships
is established the immense advantage of
such a line can be easily seen. The liue
of steamers from Pensacola will be put on
in March, and it is now the calculation
to put other lines to Vera Cmz and Rio
Janeiro into operation at an early
date. In addition to this an En
glish company will probably estab
lish a line to Liverpool before many
months have passed. These lines, con
necting directly with Chicago and the
Northwest, over tlie Chicago and New Al
bany Railroad, will .give a straight line
from Chicago to Havaua and South Amer
ica, all under one management and con
trolled by one company. The immense
amount of grain and other valuable prod
ucts that pour into Chicago over her
Western roads, can now be shipped to tlie
hungry Southern nations, quickly and
cheaply. From Chicago to Rio Janeiro
only one bill of lading will be necessary.
All stock, manufactured products, etc., can
be sent South now without delay and with
out any change of cars. This, of course,
will he a great thing lor all of tlie cities
on the line of the L. aud N. and its
brandies. Louisville, Evansville, Nash
ville and Chicago will be alike benefited,
while to Cincinnati and Indianapolis the
advantages will be no less tremendous.
The above reads and sounds well. But
let Mr. Wadley and Governor Brown
hitch on to the “Cincinnati Southern,” or
even make such terms with that great
highway as to assure perfect reciprocity,
no discrimination of any kind, and it will
soon be seen that the outlet for grain and c & assembled to
^1° witness the ceremonies of blessing the'
new hell recently donated by the Hiber
nian Society to the Catholic church of this
city. The ceremony is one of the oldest
laid down in the rubrics of the church,
but one which is very seldom performed
in this portion of the country. Old mem
bers of the faith fail to call to inind an in
stance occuring in this State.
The ceremonies attending the rite were
deeply interesting, not only (o the Protes
tants; of whom there were a goodly num
ber present, but especially so to all good
Catholics. The services were opened
with the reading of a number of psalms,
the last being the De Profundis. These
were read in the chancel of the church,
the Bishop being assisted by Rev. Dr.
Seinmes, Rev. Father O’Brien, of Atlan
ta, Rev. L. Bazin and one other priest. A
solemn procession was formed, and the
Bishop and Priests attended by a large
number of altar boys, marched slowly to
that part of the church where the bell to
be blessed was located. It was then
blessed with the blessing of water and
salt, followed by washing it inside and
out with holy water by the Deacon of the
occasion, Rev. Father O’Brien,' of At
lanta.
The Bishop then performed fhej unc
tions upon it. One anointment of the
the oil of Infirm was made, followed
by seven others with the same holy oil
applied by Bishop Gross around the out
side margin of the bell. The oil of
Chrism was next applied four times on
the inside of the bell, the clapper being
also touched with the sacred unction.
The purification was then made with
smoke; the censer filled with thyme, in
cense and myrrh, in the hands of the
Bishop, was swuug beneath the month of
the bell until the odor and smoke had per
meated its every recess
The last blessing was pronounced, and
tlie Bishop rang it three times. Father
Bazin, pastor, next tried its music-making
qualities, and wai followed by the donors,
about thirty peals sounding in beautifulre-
verberations through the church. Re.V,
O’Brien chanted a portion of the tenth
chapter of St. Luke, and the final blessini
was pronounced by the Bishop in Latin
closing with the benediction “Peace be to
thee.” The procession wa9 again formed
and inarched to the chancel, where a ser
mon was preached by the Bishop. His re
marks were very impressive. Tlie occasion
callingtlie congregation together, was
spoken of. The uses of the bell, to ring
out the glad tidings of baptism when all
the.world could know that another child
had been made a child of' God, and when
sorrow and passion should embitter life,
the’ beli, with its music, - would call up a
remembrance that there, in the house of
God, the balm of Gilead could 'be found.
It was one of the strong influences
to keep down infidelity and to call
back those who had gone astray again to
be arrayed in the robe of sweet innocence
and trust in God. Tiler., too, when tlie
last hell tolls, as it will for all, it tells of
another soul that lias gone where there is
no more grief. Tlie above is the merest
outline of the discourse. It was thought
ful, interesting and delivered in the Bish
op’s most attractive style. He closed by
congratulating botli pastor and people,
The service closed with the benediction
of tlie blessed sacrament.
Tbe bell is a beautiful piece of metal,
2,100 pounds in weight, and was cast by
Messrs. Jones & Co., of Troy, Now York,
On one side is the legend, “By tlie gen
erosity of the following members of tlie
Hibernian Society of Macon, Ga., and as
a mark of esteem for tlie Rev. L. Bazin,
pastor of St. Joseph’s Church, wasl cast.”
The names are as follows: P. Peyton,
President; L. Vannucki, Vice President;
P. Crown, Treasurer; D. D. Tracey, Sec
retary; C. fc. Craig, A. Gorman, Thomas
Pierce, Thomas Battle, P. Henry.
Below are the words: “When the do
nors will be smouldering in tlie grave,
and their names forgotten, J will still ring
to their memory and call the living to
the house of God.”
On the other side in Roman letters,
are the words :
“Twenty-fifth anniversary of the defi
nition of tlie_dogma of the Immaculate
Conception of B. V. M., Stli of December,
1879. Maria sine labe, originali concep-
ta. Ora pro nobis."
The sponsors of the bell were Mr. Pat
rick Crown and Mrs. Maiy Howland. It
was decorated profusely with flowers. It
is expected that in two weeks it will be
in position in the tower of the church, and
will be a pleasing addition to tlie bells of
the city, aud each Sabbath morning will
ring forth its calls to worship.

amount that will be shipped to South

Ireland’s Terrible Destitution.—
The following figures are compiled from
the official returns of the local commit
tees to the central bodies organized for
the distribution of relief in Dublin, as
well as from private inquiries made by
your correspondent. They are vouched
for by Protestant and Catholic cleigy,
gentry and public officials. Further re
turns are arriving daily in overwhelming
numbers. Tlie returns by counties where
the chief distress exists show the num
bers of those suffering to be as follows:
Mayo, 64,509, Galway, 43,260, Sligo 42,-
930, Kerry 33,100, Donegal 28,000, Ros
common 26,150, Cork 23,896, Clare 19,-

Leitrim 5,800, Wicklow 3,600, Monaghan
2,300, Westmeath 1,900, Longford 1,875,
Kilkenny 1,790; total 312,370.
What an immense array of sufferers are
dependent upon the charities of the outer
world for food to preserve them from actu
al starvation? And yet these are only
the ex;reme cases. There are thousands
in straightened circumstances who need
assistance also.
New York and other Northern cities are
doing nobly. Let not the South too fail
to come up to the full measure of her
duty in this crying emergency.
The Theatre Royal.—The burning
of tlie Theatre Royal, Dublin, destroys
one of the oldest and most noted theatres
of the Emerald Isle. In it was consumed
one of the finest wardrobes and most ex
pensive outfits possessed by any of tbe
Irish theatres. The manager in his ef
forts to save the building lost his own life.
The conflagration sails to mind many in
cidents connected with the theatre. It
was at this theatre that on one occasion
an eminent tragedian presented Socrates’
tragedy Io. At its close the actor was
called before the curtain, and in obedience
to tlie custom of the day the galleries
went wild in their enthusiatic calls lot the
author of the play also.
The Afghan Situation.
The London Times has reason to be
lieve that instructions have been sent to
the British Minister to release the Persian
government of a treaty agreement not to
take Herat in Afghanistan. Tlie treaty
was ratified during tlie Sepoy troubles of
the English in India, and has been in
force ever since. ' | .
The removal of the bonds of the treaty
is equivalent, it is thought in diplomatic
circles, to making of Persia a sort of
quasi request to proceed to tbe conquest of
that portion of tlie Afghan territory in
which Herat is located.
Its acquisition would by no means be
an undesirable one to Persia, and the,sup
position is that with England’s connivance
and aid, by an understood guaranty of
forbearance, the Persian government will
proceed to harass the Afghans no little.
It would amount at least to a serious and
constant source of menace. It is not alto
gether unlikely that the confirmation of
the report may bring on some new move
on tlie part of some other outside nation
ality. _ __ ,
Tiie Fom-tli Street Public School.
The entertainment given last evening
by the Fourth street Catholic school, was
not only interesting but highly creditable.
Tlie school has about one hundred and
thirty pupils, a laige number of whom are
Catholics. The object of the cxliibi-
tionwas for the procurement of funds
for tlie benefit of tlie new school house
recently erected on the adjoining lot of
St. Joseph’s church. The school is under
the charge of the Sisters. Sister DefSales
is the principal. .
Tlie exhibition was given in the base
ment of the cliureli. The audience which
assembled was immense—not an inch of
spare space,being left and a large num
ber standing, who were unable to procure
seats. Tlie programme was quite an ex

that the entertainment closed shortly be

:i. A Bogus Agent.
Some weeks_since, it was announced
that a representative of the Louisville and
Nashville railroad had rented an office iu
this^y, • and. .would; immediately com
mence haring it fitted up in a style in
keeping with tlie projects and ambitious of
the company lie represented. He was
active in his work, and in a very short
space of time had bargained for tlie store
at tlie comer of Mulberry and Seeond for
J ight months, stipulating that at the end
f that time, he or his company would
have the refusal'of it.
The work of the carpenters and repairs
and arrangements to be made by other ar
tisans were fully bargained far, tbe keys
turned over to a third party for him, and
the trade seemed regular and satisfactory
to all parties. Since then nothing has
been beard of the said agent of tlie Louis
ville and Nashville Road. He gave liis
name as Howard. Two days after liis
'disappearance, a policeman was searching
the city for a man by the name of Howard
who hafl vanished from one of the city
hotels, leaving as a token of remembrance

Homicide in Terrell County.
Dawson, Ga., February 0, 1880.
News has reached tills place of a kill
ing which took place iu the lower part of
this county on the place of Mr. S. B. Mag-
bjr. A negro man named Young John
son was killed by another and notoriously
bad negro named Emmett Randall. The
cause of the homicide was jealousy. The
murderer made his escape but will proba
bly be caught. Both were young men and
Randall had but recently been dismissed
from the chain gang. C.
Gross presided with dignity, enlivening
the occasion with a flow of genial conver
sation and many incidents' of. personal
reminiscence.
At the close of the repast Mr. Patrick
Peyton, President of the Hibernian Socie
ty, in a few appropriate and feeling
remarks, formally presented the bell to the
church, and its pastor, Rev. Mr. Bazin.
Bishop Gross responded in fitting terms,
expressing his gratification at the gift, at
the prosperity of the church, and wished
for it the greatest growth and prosperity
in the future. The Bishop alluded to the
great degree of courtesy he had always
received since his residence in Georgia,
and spoke in the wannest terms of her
people. C-tlSfl .I s . •' TI ' e .
Rev. Father zBain, though evidently
affected by the terms of warm apprecia
tion expressed toward him, responded,
thanking the doners for their gift and
wishing them all much happness in all
time. 1
Mr. PatGrownmade a few remarks on
the growth bf the church in this city since
his first residence. A number of sentif
ments were offered by Mr. Thomas Flynn
and others. After spending a very pleas
ant hour, all adjourned to the church and
inspected the new hell. The occasion was
quite an episode and will not be soon for

An Onion-Biting Party.—At at on

to kiss the batch of girls until he is ena

VICTORY AT LAST.
Stammering and Cancers Cured by
Dr. Hoses A Son, recently from At
lanta
From tlie acknowledged fact that the
true nature and causes of stammering
have never been determined by medical
men, no effective remedy lias ever been
suggested for its correction. .So, for tbe
want of correct apprehension of tiie real
character of cancer, this loathsome dis
ease has very placidly been set down as
incurable.
For the same reason that tlie stammerer
has been permitted to agonize tlie world
with his mockisli articulation and painful
contortions, so the pitiable subjects of can
cer have been left to battle with its pain
ful, disgusting and life destroying ravage
under tiie sterotyped decree that these
maladies cannot be cured.
But these lisping, stuttering voices aud
despondent groan's need no longer be
heard. Both these inveterate problems
that have so long defied human science
have at last been demonstrated and prac
tically solved. Dr. N. A. Moses, of Vir
ginia, lias recently touched tlie key
note that now triumphantly, procainis vic
tory over these humiliating troubles, lie
unfetters the stammering tongue and bids
it speak with ease aud flueuey.
lie is demonstrating iu his daily prac
tice that cancers can be positively and
permanently cured. Thousands of valua
ble tongues long fettered are to-day shout
ing victory with Clear and distinct voices,
and thousands more gratefully lauding
the same benefactor for happy deliver
ance from the ominous ravages of cancer
and other offensive and destructive ulcers.

It lias been about four years since they

A Daring: Act.
On Monday night, about nine o’clock, a
tramp entered a residence on Poplar
street, and proceeded to tlie upper story.
One of the lady members of the house
hold passed from her room to the dining
room opposite, and as she was returning,
discovered the man standing on the stair
way to the second floor.
With a warning gesture he sprang for
ward and dealt her a severe blow on the
temple, knocking her senseless, in which
condition she continued lor a half hour.
The tramp fled through the front door and
escaped. He liad been in the house long
enough to go through a bureau in the up
per story, leaving the drawers all open.
Nothing of value was missing however.
The tramp was a medium-sized man,
thick set with red heard. His feet ‘ were
provided with noiseless shoes. Several
houses in the same neighborhood have
been recently visited by an unknown man
answering the above description, among
them those of Dr. J. M. Greeu, Colonel
E. C. Corbett, Mrs. Benson. At each
place, however, he failed to gain admit
tance. The lady last evening, though
still weak from the nervous shock, was
recovering.
Tlie Albany Fair.
We have just received from Mr. F. Y. Ev
ans, Secretary of the Southwest Georgia In
dustrial Association, a copy of the premium
list for the Spring fair of the Association.
It will be held in Albany, commencing
the 19th of May and continuing three
days. From it we learn that the greatest
efforts yet made will be put forth to make
this fair a grand success.
Among the premiums are two hundred
dollars for the best drilled company, sev
enty-five dollars for the next drilled
company, and one hundred dollars for the
best brass band. The other premiums are
liberal in all departments. There will
be races each day, under the auspices of
the Albany Jockey Club, and the purses
will be large. We hope our Albany
friends will have the greatest success.
Lent.
This morning ushers in the season of
Lent, a season observed all over the Chris
tian world by Episcopalians and Catholics.
During the forty days following Ash Wed
nesday, tlie members oi these sects forsake
tlie gaities of tlie world and observe the
season with fasting and prayer. Lent is
a fast intended to prepare for the Easter
festivals. It is generally accredited to
have been established abcut the second or
third century of the Christian era. The
Catholic Church, however, maintains that
it is of apostolic origin. It continues for
foi ty days. Its close in Catholic countries
is celebrated with great feasts and festivi
ties. It has become the custom in many
places to suspend gaieties generally, and
in this way a sort of social rest is given
even to those not belonging to the reli

The Macon amateurs have engaged tlie
Opera House on Monday and Tuesday
nights of next week, the 16th and 17th.
The association is composed of about
seventy of the best musical people of our
sister city. They have given several en
tertainments in Macon, and they were
met with laige audiences and universal
applause. Our people have reason to re
member with grateful appreciation the
Maconites, for when our city was in dan
ger of dcs! ruction by fire they responded
cheerfully and immediately to our call
for aid. When tlie Columbus Guards
isited Macon at a late date, they were
received with open hands and hearts by
the soldiery of that city. Now Macon
appears before ns with a company of bril
liant songsters, an opera with magnificent
effects, at ‘ the invitation of many of our
citizens, and common decency, if for no
love of the beautiful, demands that we
should greet them with a crowded house.
Columbus lias never yet been lacking in
friendly hospitality. In point of beauty
aud scenic effect tlie sacred opera of Bel

most superb spectacular and musical ex

THE SIMMONS MATTER.
Particulars of the Exciting Scene in
the Committee Boom.
The Baltimore Sun contains the follow
ing in regard to the exciting scene which
took place in the committee room over the
nomination of the illiterate parson from
the Seventh district:
Senator Gordon and Representative
Hammond opposed Simmons’ confirma
tion on the ground that he is illiterate,
and wholly unable to discharge tlie duties
of the office properly, and by liis free use
of tbe epithets “corrupt secession traitors,”
etc., lie has made himself a common slan
derer of the great mass ot the people of
Georgia.
Hon. Alexander H. Stephens said Mr.
Simmons was a preacher in good standing
and, in his belief, tlie charges which had
been made against bis private character
were slanders. Simmon? may have called
the people corrupt secessionists and trai
tors because they had been abusive to
wards him. . 1
Senator Hill, in advocating Mr. Sim
mons’ confirmation, said it would be a
great calamity and a serious misfortune,
if not a death blow to the Democratic
party of the Unitod States, if he was re
jected. The Democratic party could not
go before the country on such an issue.
It would be said that ho was rejected be
cause he denounced secession. He said
the Independent Democrats were just as
good and just as much to be trusted as
those who called themselves regulars.
General Gordon empliatically repudiat
ed the suggestion of Mr. Hill as to the ef
fect of rejection, declaring that no portion
of the Northern people would desire the
infliction of such a man upon any South
ern community. He called attention to
the tact that Simmons, in his autograph
letter of application to the President for
the appointment, stated that he (Sim
mons) wanted it because it would give
him a victory over tbe “corrupt secession
traitors,” and he (General Gordon) be
lieved that he could stand in Boston be
fore an audience of tbe most enlightened
Republicans of that city, and in response
to a presentation of this point receive a
unanimous reply tliat no man wlio’wonld
base his application for office upon such
a ground ought to be appointed.
Representative Hammond spoke earn
estly against Simmons as an unfit person
to be put in such a position of. responsi
bility and trust.
Mr. Stephens, in making a very earnest
appeal for Simmons, in tbe course of his
remarks, said lie had been told that Gen
eral Gordon was for ex-Marshal Smythe,
of Georgia, for the position.
At this point General Gordon started up
from his seat and demanded the name of
the author of such a statement.
Mr. Stephens replied that they could
talk about this outside.
General Gordon eaid, “No, it is best to
settle it right here, where the statement is
made.”
Mr. Stephens again declined- to give his
author, when
General Gordon said, “Then I pro
nounce it an infamous, internal falsehood,
from whomsoever it may come.”
This episode created considerable of a
sensation, and after it had quieted down
the gentlemen proceeded with their argu
ments.
Senator Hill said the confirmation of
Simmons would tend to bring together the
Democratic paty of Georgia.
General Gordon said yes, that was so, if
the way to build up the Democratic party
in the South was to select and put in places
of trust and patronage incompetent and
malicious people, who slander the South
and rest their claims for office on that
ground. He did not think their was a
true-hearted man, North or South, Re
publican or Democrat, who would not say
that such a man was totally unworthy of
any office, more especially an office which,
to carry out the true object of the law,
should be tilled by a competent man aud
a non-partisan.
It was also developed that Mr. Sim
mons recently telegraphed Mr. Felton to
cause liis nomination to be withdrawn,
but that Felton insisted upon its remain
ing before the Senate and that the struggle
iu regard to it has now assumed the phase
of a contest between tbe regular Demo
cratic organization of Georgia and the
friends of the “ Independents.” Mr. Ste
phens, iu the course of the discussion to
day, stated that the President denied ever
having seen the autograph application of
Simmons which contain the offensive mat
ter complained of, and Senator Gordon
replied that he did not believe the Presi
dent would have ever sent In the nomi
nation had he seen the language reler-
red to.
A good many exaggerated rumors are
afloat to-night as to the scene in the com
mute room to-day, but the above is be
lieve dto be, as far as could be gathered,
an impartial account of wliat actually
took place. The. Georgia politicians are
much excited over it, and assert that the
war which has for some time been brew
ing between Senators Gordon and Hill,
and between the former and Mr. Stephens,
will break out in dead earnest.
Miss Hartman’s Incineration,
The Washington Pennsylvania corre
spondent of the New York Herald says:
Miss Dolly Hartman, whose body has
been cremated here, died at her father’s
residence in Pittsburg, Tuesday 3d Inst.,
after an illness of three weeks, and suffer
ing from a form of disease wholly un
known to tlie medical fraternity. While
in good health she expressed a wish that
her body he burned after death; accord
ingly arrangements were made with the
Lemoyne executors for the use of tlie fur
nace. Up to a late hour last night the
home of the deceased was thronged with
visitors, but nothing indicative of mourn
ing was present. The body was laid upon
a sofa, covered with flowers, etc. At an
early hour this morning the service of the
Swedenborgian Church was read by Rev.
Mr. Veterburg. The body was then en

Killed With a Snow Ball.—While
M. Myers was visiting Mrs. Lay, at the
Turner House, North Summer Street,
Sunday afternoon, Mrs. Lay took Laura
L. Myers, their daughter, aged fourteen
months, and went out on the rear porch.
While there some one in the alley threw a
snow ball, which struck the child in the
temple, rendering it senseless, The snow
ball was so hard that it glanced against
the wall, before striking the infant, with
out breaking. The child recovered con
sciousness, and it was thought for a while
that it was not seriously injured, but it
soon commenced having spasms, which
continued until death ended its sufferings
yesterday morning. The accident was an
exceedingly painful one to Mrs. Lay, who
had only the day previous buried an in
fant. The remains were taken by the
parents to Indianapolis for interment.
Five persons were arrested yesterday
for throwing snow balls. Captain Yater
has instructed the police to arrest every
person caught throwing them on the
streets.—Nashville American.
Tlie English Strikes.
The strike of the Burnley weavers
which is threatened in England will, if
consummated by the disaffected weavers,
retire from active operation sixty mills.
Burnley is one of the important manufac
turing towns of England. It is twenty-
two miles from Manchester, and its man
ufacturing advantages are increased by
immense fields of coal near by, canal and
water communication with the markets
where its manufactures arc disposed of.
The manufacturing interests of Great
Britain have been disturbed no little by
strikes during the past two years. It is
hoped, however, that with the enhanced
value of goods, that a small advance of
wages will be practical, and a settlement
of the difficulties between the employers
and the employed may be effected. The
English working man, when once aroused,
is a hard being to satisfy or to control
in his demands.
Outwitting Two Swindlers.
Lawrence E. French, a messenger boy
in the employ of Towsend & Fargis, com
mission merchants, outwitted two men
who tried the “drop game” on him at the
Chemical National Bank yesterday.
French was counting a roll of bills which
he had been sent to get at the bank, when
one of the men stepped to his side, and
tapping him on the shoulder, said:
“Young man, you’ve dropped some of
your money.”
Recollecting stories of similar attempts
to dupe victims, French seized the pile
of bills in liis hand before he looked down.
He saw a bank note on the floor; quietly
putting his foot on it, he w ent on counting
his money. Then lie picked up the bill
from the floor, and was walking out when
one of the two men, who saw that he had
been beaten at his own game, said to the
boy: “Pardon me; I was mistaken. That
hill was dropped by me.” The other
stranger added: “Yes, that makes me out
the exact amount.” “I guess I’ll keep it
to remember you by,” was the answer,
and the young man left the two swindlers
to their chagrin.—New York Tribune.
