The old man has apjjarently experienced no pain from tire burn, but he will doubtless never re cover.” The Mountain 8ignal contains the fol ios ing suggestions to a light-fingered youth of Dahlonega: Mr. G.

He was for a uumiier of years the cook at the Barnes House, where he served faithfully until tito infirmities of age compelled him to give up that position, some two or three years ago. The deceased was a slave of ■Mrs. Sarah Weed, of Macon, and came to Al'any about the close of the late war, * in advance of the Federal raiders, jcu lie became the confidential custo- ’ia*n of ail the property of the late Cap- lain B. K. Hines. During all the dark da vs of reconstruction, this good old man remained faithful to Ills trust, and, as acou as it was safe for him to do, he de li icr 1 everything entrusted to his keep- * g* : fle to the owner. He was trusted *uii :spected by all who knew him, and Mai lelity to all made many friends for hum ^ pong the best people of the com- " /, who will follow him to his grave with hearts made sad by his passing away, and will say of him, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant.” Daltoy Headlight; Last Tuesday evening the wife of Deputy Marshal Thraikill who had gone to the cemetery to care for a family grave, was shocked to see a skeleton hanging to a picket of the fence, the skull being placed over the picket. She reported to her husband, who reported to Alderman Kirkpatrick, who had a grave dug and the skeleton reburied. We are told that all of the bones were on the spot, most of them bein'* held together by flesh or muscle ligaments. The top scalp had not entirely decayed, and short, apparently shingled shingled hair still clung thereto. The skeleton indicated a fine shape, the teeth of pearly whiteness and beautiful in shape. To the uninitiated in anatomy who ob served the remains, it was concluded that they were of a half-grown man, or a full-grown female. The bones were as yet unbleached. We think the mystery of the case calls for investigation. . Accident. — Borne Tribune: Last Thursday evening Mr. D. W. Gowan, on his return home met with a painful acci dent. His residence is about two miles from the city, and on the evening in ques tion he arrived at his gate at about eleven o’clock, and rode in without thinking to call a large bull dog he has on the planta tion, when this animal made a dash for the supposed intruder, jumping and catch ing the mule by the nose, and causing him to throw Mr. Gowan, bruising him considerably, and breaking one of the smaller bones next the elbow in his right arm. Dr. Lovelace was called and dressed the injuries, and Mr. Gowan is now doing well. Chaplain David Wills, on tempora ry duty at McPherson Barracks, near At lanta, has been granted permission to re move his quarters into the city. A portrait of Mr. H. I.

Judge Eye, of the Bichmond County Court, is enforcing the law against carry ing concealed weapons. On Monday he fined W. W. Glover one hundred dollars for that offi:nse. We learn that Mr. William Davis, of Our community was startled on Sunday morning last by the intelligence spreading over the city that Dr. F. M. Kennedy had died during the night. And when the news was confirmed by inquiry, a feelin of sadness seemed to take possession of every heart, and to he expressed from every countenance. Crowds of his per sonal friends hastened to his late res idence on New street, to gaze once more upon the face of their friend, al though cold in death, and to mingle their tears with the bereaved and distressed, Few men in Macon were more beloved Hams county, died vejy suddenly at his than this eminontl Christian gentleman, residence near Hamilton, last Friday night.

Seventeen thousand Valentines passed through the Atlanta post-office on Satur day. One young gentleman received 27, and a young lady 23. Dr. W. H. Hollingshead, an old and highly esteemed citizen of Fort Valley, died in that place last Wednesday. Four Years Ago.—August* News : Four years from yesterday Rev. W. W. Landrum preached his first sermon as pastor of the First Baptist Church in Au- *usta. Each year he has grown in popu larity with his people, and he is now rec ognized as one of our leading ministers and citizens. May each successive year increase with him* the respect, temporal blessings and the grace of the master he has served so well. A most wonderful circumstance is plac ed on record to-day. After smouldering exactly one month, the fire broke out about *1 o’clock to-day in a packed away remnant of the waste cotton from the warehouse of the Augusta Factory, which was burned on tho 13th Of last month. The fire broke out in a part of the cot ton that had been lying exposed to the continuous stream of the fire engines for nearly two weeks and to the heavy rains consequent. It has been stowed awav for the past five or six days in a wooden shed at McCoy’s Waste Factory, where it was transferred from the scene of the fire. A little after noon to-day the fire was de tected, and as it was just breaking oat was soon controlled by the force at hand, without any alarm being sounded. Accidentally Shot.—Dublin Ga zette: Last Tuesday evening a party of young men went oat bird hunting, and were returning home, wlieu Mr. George M. Howard, the marshal of the town, was badly shot. Mr. Jordan Joiner was walk ing in front of Howard, and must have been fingering the triggers when his gun was discharged, lodging the whole load in Mr. Howard’s left hand wrist, and thence into his breast about an inch above the locality of the lieart. In the excite ment of shooting on the wing, Mr. Joiner must have forgotten to let down the cock of his gun. Mr. H. had his hand at the time on his own gun, thus putting it in the right position to teceive a shot that rather hit his arm lengthwise. We saw Mr. Howard soon after the shooting, and ho seemed suffering intense pain, but is now doing very well. The Borne Courier states that the ne gotiations which have been under consid eration for the last few days in that city between Mr. W. Scott Fitz and Mr. H. Blanchard, in regard to the Borne and Chattanooga railroad, were happily ter minated Thursday evening. All parties now seem satisfied, and the Courier trusts that nothing will occur hereafter to retard the early completion of this line. Says tho Albany Advertiser: This sec tion lias not yet, so far as we have heard, been favored with a single visit from the emigrant agent, and no move looking to an exodus has been started among our colored population in any quarter. We believe that Southwestern Georgia is as near an earthly. Paradise • for the colored race as conld be found oirtho planet, and those who are here appear to recognize and appreciate the fact. While a large number could be spared without detri ment, we would dislike to see any of them tolled off to bleak and inhospitable homes in the Northwest by designing and specu lative men, to whom their future weal and welfare is a matter of no moment or concern whatever. We are satisfied, how ever, that our colored people in this sec tion are possessed of shrewder- instincts, and are guided by far more disinterested counsels lromtho prominent ones of their own color than those living in other sec tions of the State.” Talrotton is to have a new hotel.

The Conyers Examiner is informed that a prominent citizen of that county was arrested on Wednesday last on the charge of an attempt to commit a crimi nal assault on the person of his step daughter. The names .of the parties arc suppressed for the present, as the case will probably undergo judicial Investigation at the next term of the Superior Coui when the whole affair will he made pub lic. A New Hand at It.—Columbus Times: There was no imperfection last evening in the play of Belshazzar that we could notice, and this might be wondered at in one particular, when it is known that Mr. John T. Boifeuillet, Jr., was re quested late yesterday afternoon_tofill the position of Arbacas, the Captain of the Babylonian' Guards, that was .to have been enacted by Mr. J. H. Jones, who was unavoidably detained at Macon. We are surprised he should have consented, for no opportunity had been given him of a single rehearsal and he had never ap peared in Belshazzar. Yet, despite these obstacles he succeeded to the satisfaction of all, and did himself credit. We clip the two following from the Monroe Advertiser: Incendiarism.—One night last week one of the out-buildings and several pan els of costly fencing on the campus of Monroe Female College were burned by incendiaries. This loss will cost the trus tees at least one hundred dollars. There can be no excuse for such downright meanness. It ia thought the fire was started by some boys just for the fun of having a fire. But if they are found out there will not be much fun for them. The trustees and the city council have of fered a reward of fifty dollars for the ap prehension .of the parties, with proof to convict, and if the grand jury of our Su perior Court next week does its duty, a determined effort will be made to find out the guilty parties. Mr. Thomas Battle, who is ninety- four years old and the oldest citizen of Monroe count}', was inForsytb last week and sold twenty-seven hales of cotton' He is vigorous and energetic still, and says he can now excel most of the young men in manning a farm and making crops. Notwithstanding lus advanced age, he attends to his business matters carefully and with precision, and bids fair to live many years more.; Accidentally Killed. — Montezu ma Weekly: A little colored girl, aged five years, daughter of Sallie Gibson, Was accidentally killed in this place on last Tuesday afternoon. Sam Johnson, color ed, went into Sallie Gibson’s house to get a gun which he had left there. The child was sitting on the floor eating. The gun was half cocked. Johnson attempted to let one of the hammers down on the nip ple. The hammer slipped from his fin gers. The gun fired and the whole load of shot entered the temple of the child on the floor. The child, was instantly killed. Purely accidental. No inquest. Death op Max a chi Jossey.—Amer- icus .Recorder.* Some time ago we an nounced the serious illness of this old and estimable citizen of Marion county, 'with dropsy of the heart. He died on Saturday last at noon, aged about sixty-eight years, and was bnried at Friendship church on Sunday at three o’clock, his pastor, Bev. J. H. Cawood, officiating. .j Mr. Jossey leaves a wife and several children, among whom are Messrs. Frank and James Jossey, as was also the late Mr. Thomas Jossey, of Macon. Mr. Jossey was one of the representative men of his sec tion, widely known and loved by all. For many years he had been an exemplary member of the Baptist church, and the precious truth of tlie religion which had sustained his Godly walks in life were sufficient, in the supreme hour, to carry him in confident triumph across the shad owy vale. ■ f . j Tins Dead not Dead.—Enquirer- Sun: Old “Barefoot” Walker is a well known character in this city.and vicinity; we do not know why ho is called “Bare foot,’’'except (it is said) he has not worn a pair of shoes in forty years. “Barefoot” Walker is a white man, aged ninety-five years and three months, and is employed by Mr. A. Gaunuel on his farm about three miles cast of the city. Sunday af ternoon he apparently died, probably from sheer exhaustion and old age. He was dressed, laid in his coffin, And his friends from the neighborhood gathered to pay their tribute to the departed When the assembled multitude were bending in their .sympathy, amid the se renity which overahadowed the surround ing, the defunct arose from his strange po sition, and demanded of the astonished assembly, “what they meant by such treatment.” Tho party turned 'away, learing the old man master of the situa tion. . Says the Borne Tribune: On Thursday morning our.friend, Mr. James Duke, left his home, some four miles from the city, and went Dn a visit down, in Alabama. On Thursday night a colored man, Jtwen* ty years old, in the employ, for the past month, of Mr. Duke, gave the ladies ofthe house a terrible scare. It seems that at 11 o’clock, Thursday night, one ofthe three ladies screamed out that some one was in the room. Her sister sprang up and lighted a candle, and, as she did so, there was Profit Wade behind the door of the room. One of the ladiesthen.saidshe would shoot him, and started for the .gun, when he ran from the house. He said that he went in there to kindle the fire, but it seems to us he was rather thinly clad for that to have been the truth. The negro is of a very bad stock, his father having been in the penitentiary. He has been arrested, but swdars xllaC he' Ik inno cent of any evil intent.

In New York they are worth seventy-five ents aqiiart. ■ T ' The shock was more stunning from the fact that on Saturday afternoon he was upon the streets in his usual health, and met many of his friends with that ge nial flow of spirits and good hu mor which made Mm one of the most companionable of men, and as late as fire o’clock was seen in company with some of liis ministerial brethren wending his way homeward. In front of the Stub blefield House he was met by his excel lent wife with the carriage, and they drove out to Yineville to her father’s, Co lonel Clisby, the senior editor of this paper. The visit was unusually pleasant and they retured home at night-fall,where the evening was spent with the family. The Doctor seemed to enter into the spirit of the children, it being Valentine’s Day, with more than his wanted fervor. At nine o’clock he suggested that it was time the children were retiring, and remarked that he wonld get a drink of water before going to his room, and in the attempt he staggered somewhat, aronsing the fears of his wife who immediately sent for a physician. She asked him what was the matter, and he replied “Oh, nothing, I will soon be over it.” These were his last words, as he sank back in his chair. Captain W. W. Carnes was passing at the moment, and hurried in to render as sistance, but it was too late. Other friends came and did all that affection and medical skill could do; but the ene my had stormed the citadel, and every effort to dislodge him was futile. He lin gered in a state of unconsciousness until about fifteen minutes after five o’clock on Sunday morning, when the spirit took its upward flight. Dr. F. M. Kennedy was born in Co lumbia, South Carolina, during the month of February, 1834, and had but a few days ago celebrated his forty-sixth birthday. He was the son of Rev. W. M. Kennedy, who for a long time was a prominent member of the South Carolina Confer ence of the Methodist church. At the age of twenty, the son was licensed to preach, and entered the South Carolina Conference at the session held in Colum bia, November 15, 1854. He traveled one circuit, and then spent seven years in filling some of the most important sta tions in his conference, a number of these years having been in the city of Charles ton. And there, for five years, he held the responsible position of Presiding El der in his denomination, and rose rapidly to distinction among his brethren. He represented that intelligent body in the general conference of 1870, 1874 and 1878, and with marked ability. During the late war, he donned the grey, and with his comrades shared the fortunes of the battle field as Chaplain. AtYhe death of the lamented doctor Bonnel in October, 1871, Dr. E. H. Myers, who was then ed itor of the Southern Christian Advocate, was elected to the presidency of the Wes leyan Female College, and Dr. F. M, Kennedy was called to take charge of that excellent Christian journal, and took up his residence in Macon. At the General Conference held in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1874, he was re-elected editor, and filled that position with credit and distin guished ability. At tbe General Confer ence held in Atlanta in 1S73, tbe Southern Christian Advocate was removed to Charleston, South Carolina, and Dr. Kennedy re-elected to editorship. He had served his own Conference for four years as Secretary, and was one of the as sistant secretaries of the General Confer ence in 1674. During the General Con ference at Atlanta, lie was Secretary of the Committee on Revivals. The docu ments before this committee were so volu minous, that it required almost constant labor day and night to keep the business up. Dr. Kennedy never flagged in the performance of any duty assigned him. The Conference adjourned the last cjf May} and he returned' to his home anil made a final disposition of the papers in his hand as Secretary, preparatory to rest, before he would assume editorial charge of his- paper at Charleston. The incessant labor of the past month was too great a strain upon his nervous system, and just as.ha had finished his work he was strick en down with paralysis of his right side Since then he has been an invalid, al though su&ciently recovered to attend to business, until this fatal disease terminated his useful life on Sunday morning last. Dr. Kennedy was a man of ability. A man wliose convictions of right were deep and firm—nothing could induce him to swerve therefrom. He was sometimes railed obstinate, because he was so inflex ible in following out what he deemed to be right. He had a high estimate of honor, and felt a contempt for anything that was little and mean. His convictions of the truths of Christianity were so well fixed apd steady that nothing conld shako liis faith In them. He was at all tunes and; everywhere the same conscientious Christian gentle man, ' His friendship was strong and en during, and his benevolence was generous arid unstinted. . “ ' ■' In the social circle he was at once the center aud the charm. Cultivated and learned, be was ready to converse, upon ariy subject introduced. He was full of anecdotes arid humor, which were of an elevated character, and few men ever ex celled him in narration of the humorous and the lndicrou3. He was ever careful ofthe feelings of others and avoided what he thought would cause the slightest wound. In short,he was a high-toned, honorable, Christian gentleman, as well as a faithful and honored servant of the Most High. His bereaved family have the . sympa thies ofthe entire community.

The Monitor and Siglo, two leading journals of the Republic, favor him. A large num ber of people still hope the political com plications will compel president Diaz to hold over, preferring this course to anarchy. A sensational accusation has been put in circulation against General Gondalez, a leading candidate for the presidency, and at present the commander ofthe largest force of government troops in the Republic. He is charged with the intention to separate Sinalora, Sonora and Seiral aud other States from the Mex ican Union and erect a Confederacy to be called the Republic of Sierra Madre. New York', February 15.—A special from Louisville says a combination has been formed between the Louisville and Nashville and Georgia Central Bail Road, to last for five years. This will give the Louisville and Nashville company control of every port on the south Atlantic coast, except Brunswick, Ga. At Savannah the rail road will connect with a line ci stea mers to New York aud Liverpool, And it is intended to compete with northern trunk lines in carrying people from north ern cities to New York.

Chicago, February 15.—A destructive fire occurred last night in the Empire warehouse building, used as a storehouse for dry goods, liqnors and bonded goods. The losses are as follows: Wallace & Kingman, seedsmen, $150,000 Chapin & Gore, liquors, $150,000: Field, Licder & Co., dry goods, $200,000; J. R. Farwell & Co., dry goods, $75,000; Wilson Bros., $15,000, and a number of smaller losses. Insurance on the goods is not known, but i3 thought to cover the loss for the most part. Denver, Colorado, February 15.— The city is at present undergoing the first labor agitation of its history. A general feeling of discontent is manifested among the laboring men and others. For several months past the working classes have been gradually forming unions until twenty-one organizations have been per fected. They comprise printers, carpen ters, plumbers, brick and stone masons, plasterers, cigar makers, barbers, cooks, locomotive engineers and firemen, black smiths, etc. The different unions held a mass convention Saturday night, and took steps to organize a trades assembly, which it is claimed will constitute a voting strength of nineteen hundred. The meet ing was enthusiastic and orderly. Ad dresses were made by Brick Pomeroy and others. Among other schemes the work ing men bare on foot is that of starting an afternoon paper. New York, February 10.—A fire broke out yesterday in first floor No. 115 Maiden Lane, occupied by C. N. Finch and Co., dealers in heavy oils and chemi cals. Owing to the combustible nature of the contents, the fire quickly made its way throughout the building and extend ed its way into 117, adjoining, occupied by Lichtenstein Brothers, dealers in leaf tobacco, which it also burned. The losses are large. In 117 was J. T. Walls, whose eccentricities as a dealer in Panama hats gained him notoriety, who said he had 00 casespanama hats worth $17,000 stored in the building and destroyed. Total loss about ninety-one thousand. London, February lti.—The Daily News owns that the Southwark election was an unmistakable Liberal defeat.

A Dublin dispatch reports the general condition of Ireland improving, although severe distress is still felt in many places. Ottawa, February 16.—A covered sleigh in which Her Royal and His Excel lency, attended by Colonel M. C. Neill and Hon.

Speaker A. 0. Bacon on the Failure cf the Macon and Brunswick Sale Our distinguished fellow townsman. Hon. A. O. Bacon, now attending the Su preme Court in Atlanta, has been suc cessfully interviewed by a Constitution reporter with the following results: ‘What was thought in Macon of the failure of the sale?” He replied: “Why, sir, it was like a thunder clap out of a clear sky. The day before, we had learned that the re quirements of the act had all been com plied with by the purchasers and that nothing remained to be executed but a few formalities about which there was no doubt or difficulty. There was a consid erable amount of plain swearing the next morning when the Constitution told the result of the matter.” “Well, wliat do you think of the refusal of the Governor to sign the deed which was demanded ?” “I don’t know what may have been the terms of that particular deed, but I think it would have been right for tlie Gover nor to have given the purchasers a proper warranty deed to the property. The Governor is supported in his construction of his powers under the act by very high legal authority, but I think it very un fortunate that he should have held to such a view of it. It is impossible to frame a statute in words which is not liable to more than one construction, and there fore I think a plain, reasonable, common- sense construction should have controlled rather than one which is technical. The fundamental principle in tbe construction of a statute is to ascertain the will of the law-makers. What they intended, that is the law. Now, I don’t believe there was a single member of the Legislature who intended when he voted for this act that the purchaser should only receive a quit claim deed to the property. I certainly had no such intention, and I have yet to see a Senator or representative who had.” If the recollection of other legislators is to the same effect it would then seem to be conclusive as to the proper construc- ton of tbe act?” “No, that cannot be said; because the proper construction of a statute cannot be determined by taking the testimony of the legislators As to their intention. But theire are several rules recognized by the courts by which such intention can be As certained. One of the most common of these is that the law. makers intended that which was reasonable. The reason able construction of the statute is that it was intended that the purchasers should have a wan-anty deed. It would have been unreasonable iu the extreme fqr the Legislature to have' intended arid expect ed that tlie purchasers would pay over a million of dollars for a qtiit claim deed to the road. . Every, one must 1 know that if such an intention had been. expressed in the act, it would have effectually driven off every bidder IthfiTflie sale,'and I don’t think there is anything in tlie act which under a proper construction indicates di rectly or by. implication any such inten tion. Such an .idea "never entered the minds ofthe Legislature or ofthe people, and the best evidence of it isfonnd in the fact that the raising of the point has taken everybody completely by surprise. The State claims to have a perfect title to the property, and it was intended to convey a perfect title to the purchaser.. It seems to. me that a refusal to give a warranty title implies a want of confidence iu the title of the State which is not warranted by tlie facts in the case.” Wliat do you say as to the $600,000 second mortgage bonds ? Don't you rec, qgnizeany.., . “No I do not—t^e road was sold under the first mortgage'some years ago, and failed at tlie sale to bring half what was due on the mortgage. I am unable to see how any lieii can still remain in favor of the second mortgage, even if that were otherwise. I doubt If the second mortgage bonds would be binding on the road. They were not all issued to third parties, but the former owners of the road had the bonds executed and divided between themselves. It can be easily shown that at the time ofthe sale of the road, over $500,000 Of these bonds were still in their possession.” “Under all the circumstances, then, what would you say is the best thing to be done?” “That is a delicate question to auswer where the responsibility rests with the Governor; bnt as a matter of opinion, holding the views I do - as to the propriety of giving a warranty deed, I should say the best thing still would he to sign such a deed. The limitation of thirty days was upon the purchasers that they should do certain things within that time. I see nothing in the- act which prevents the Governor from executing the deed after the expiration of that lime, if he is satis- fiedrihe purchaser's.; have made proper compliance within the specified, time. to an extra expense of twelve or fifteen thousand dollars to accomplish what can be done by the - simple signature of the Governor, a signature which I think he now has authority to make. The failure in this matter is a great public calamity. The Brunswick road, with the extensions authorized by the act, furnish the only means now in sight of releasing the whole State from the grip of the most gigantic and growing monopoly. Our people are dazzled with the ideas of the great traffic to flow through the channels of these far reaching combinations. Th*y do not reflect that they are in violation of law, nor do they realize the evils which they threaten. Capital properly employed is a great blessing to the country; but these great combinations of capital reaching up into the thirty millions, will make a des potism which cannot he easily overthrown, for it will control the politics and tlie courts of the State. This seems to be already much the case in Pennsylvania. I read some time since that a member of the Pennsylvania House of Representa tives rose and said, “If the Pennsylva nia Central Railroad, had no further bus iness to bring before the House, he would move an adjournment.” Germain to the same question we print the following card, also from the Georgia members of the Macon and Brunswick lessees : Editors Constitution: Permit us the privilege of correcting through your col umns an error which appeared in the is sue of 13th inst., in the report of the sale of the Macon and Brunswick road. This error occurs in tlie paragraph wherein you say: “It is proper to state that the Georgia members of the compa ny acquiesced in tlie course that the Gov ernor now pursued, and recognized that he could make no warrantee and that the deed would be safe without it,” etc. So far from this being cerrect, we af firm that whilst, tlirougli our eagerness to close the transaction, we consented to the amendment of the deed suggested by the Governor; and having previously com plied in ever}' particular with all require ments of the act as regards securities and payments in money, never hav ing admitted, *nor intimated, nor “recognized” that the Gov ernor “could make no warrantee,” on the contrary urging him by every argument in our power to give us such warrantee title, stating to him furthermore that in our negotiations with the New York par ties we had assured them that the Gov ernor would warrant and defend the title to the road, and that without such assu rances to them by us on our part, we could never have obtained their co-opper- ation. We believe, that we were fully justified in so assuring them, from representations made at the lease and sale of the road in Macon, and from the recital act itself wherein it is stated that the road is “owned” by the State of Georgia, and never doubted for a moment but that a warranty deed was meant, and so gave our assurances, this being the usual form in business where the owner is fully sat isfied as to his title. The magnitude of the transaction, measured not only by the purchase of the Macon and Brunswick railroad, but by the immense further outlay of money re quired to make the necessary extensions of line contemplated by the act, would seem a good reason on the part of our Northern friends for caution, and the ne cessity for a dear title.

A Delightful Visit • Hospitality of th« . City of Spindles. Columbus, Georgia, February 17th, 1880. The Belshazzar jparty arrived salely here yesterday at 3 o’clock, and last eve ning gave an entertainment which has just carried this city by storm. Every thing has passed off charmingly so far. The house was ablaze with the beauty of Columbus, and the city turned out en masse to do honor to their Macon friends, A more generous and hospitable ovation could hardly have been tendered. The parts last evening,' if .we may take the word of the press of this city, were filled in a manner which gave entire satisfac tion. Professor Butterfield, in the absence of Mr. A. L. Wood, enacted the character of Cyrus, assisted by Mr. L. A., C. Everett, Jr. In the absence of the Captain of the Gu'ard, Mr. John T. Boifeuillet played that role, acquitting himself with remark able credit, considering that it was his first appearance,and with slight rehearsal, having been assigned the part* few mo ments before the curtain rose on the first act. It is said that the swords fashed fire aud the bloodless fight passed off in a man ner which betokened the most sanguinary intentions with the most slender resufe in that litife. Only one or two incidents oc curred which in any way tended to give the audience *an "opportunity to see the comic side of things. The scenery became bewildered at the splendor of Babylon’s Corirt and refused to perform its ‘functions in one or two in stances, heedless ofthe shrill whistle of the stage manager, and regardless of. the, maledictions of the talented scene-shifter.' Otherwise everything pissed off like a dream, and this morning, when tlie wak ing time has come, the recollections are as pleasant as the golden glow which brings' the sables of night, when the thoughts of the silent watches have been pleasant. Columbus' ■ is crowded with Ma- conites. • Just two hundred and five have answered to roll call so far, with sev eral precincts to hear from. Every avail able inch of boarding house and hotel arc engaged, and the weary and helated trav eler who now arrives liangeth himself on the wall until the matin hour, or re- clinethin chairs around the now popular hotel stove. The good people here, how ever, are meeting every call on their hos pitality, and all are enjoying themselves to the fullest extent. As I write, the weather is somewhat foggy and threatening, but carriages filled with Macon sight-seeis are rolling through the streets. Last evening, after the en tertainment at the theatre, several gath erings of young gentlemen took place, and the proverbial hospitality of the young gentlemen of this City found a new exemplification. Among those here besides the troupe, we have'only time to note the names of Dr. Battle, Mr. C. A.Sindall, Hon.' G. S. Obear and daughter, Captain A. G. Butts; Mr. J. A. Pugh, Sirs. Lee Ellis, MissB.' H. Flanders, Miss Lizzie Willingham, Miss Hcrmion Obear, Mrs. Holmes John son, Mr. R. W. Jaques, Mrs. W. E. Dun- wody, Mr. K. Isaacs, Mr. L.

Biackshear, L. K. Logan buret,- J. Emanuel, Dottenheimer, O. D— na, Mjss Julia Rogers, Miss Hohin^s, Mr. Mettie Freeman, and about one hunderd and fifty others whose names it was im possible to learn. One of the local points of interest here yesterday was the arrival in the city of one of the Hood orphans, who has been adopted by Mr. and Mrs. M. Joseph, one of the leading dry goods merchants of this city. The little Creole stranger has fallen into good hands. Mr. Joseph is a gentleman of large means and his wife one of the loveliest of ladies. The child adopted is the infant girl and her name will hereafter be Annie Hood Joseph. • To the press of this city is the success and pleasure of the visit of the Maconites largely due. They have from the very first extended a warm welcome, and la-; bored without ceasing for the enterprise; Their success in making the visit of all here one of such signal pleasure, is * gratU fyjng indeed, and places our city under obligations of a truly pleasant nature, hut “What do you think of the proposition * which will he difficult fully to repay, to call an extra session of the Legisla-- A matinee will be given this afternoon, “ and a performance tikis evening, a net wlii£h the troupe will leave for your city, arriving Wednesday morning.

Yesterday morning, there occurred a the Methodist chnrch, on Mulberry saw, one of tlie most touching scenes ever vj. nessed in Macon. The occasion wa tit funeral services of the eminent christiu journalist and scholar, Dr. F. M. Ken* dy^wliose sudden and}untimely dealt ia cast such a deep gloom over our city. A vast concourse of friends, relative, and sympathizers, had assembled to pq the poor tribute of a parting tear to tit memory of one whose gentle presence md kindly smile had passed out of being for- Amid the low cadence of a dirge, tie pall-bearers, carrying the remains, ud proceeded by the minister repeating tie solemn service for the dead, entered tie central aisle, and deposited their brute at the foot of the altar. The music ceas ed, and the footsteps ^ffthe folloven were lost in silence. It was an impres sive scene, and one not soon to be fas ten. Before the congregation lay tit form of one, the manly friend of ever citizen of the community, the tente companion and teacher ofthe little ftri of children gathered to add thffir voices ia one last hymn above him. Suddenly fhs out the silence arose upon the wings d I music two voices, bearing upward the j words of that hymn of hope, “Beyond fit waking and the sleeping;” slowly, softly, sweetly they grew in power, and urhet other voices uniting swelled the volmu of tenderness Into a grand anthem d \ peace, every eye gazed out upon tb flower-crowned casket through a mist d j tears. The hymn was followed by an earns prayer from Dr. Bass, when Dr. Krj arose and delivered a touching addns: from the words, “For we know if tfc house of our tabernacle were dissolved we have a building of God, not made bj I hands, eternal in the heavens.” Dnrinf this address the speaker delivered a glov ing memorial upon the life and charade of the deceased. The exercises were concluded by tk hymn “One by one,” the duett sung tj Macon’s twin sisters of song, the chore-' by the Sunday school children; the e-1 feet of which was grand beyond descri;-! tion. "Words cannot convey even a par tial knowledge ofthe intense feeling an! j deep emotion awakened by this me'.- i ody; the scene, the circumstances ani the solemnity of the occasion unite!
