Tlie strikers were carousing around the
mill yesterday, but as yet have expressed
no intention of interferring with any sub
stitutes.'

—During the past year the commercial
banks of San Francisco were drained of
no less than eleven and a quarter million
dollars, while the deposits in the savings
banks of that city decreased nine millions
and a half—all of which is attributed to
the pernicious influence of the sand-lot
orators.
—An attempt was made last summer to
reproduce, from the original Latin manu
script of Thomas Kempis, the treatise of
which he is the reputed author, “De Imi-
tatione Christi,” preserved in the Royal
Library of Brussels. But the minute Goth

through age and the number of hands
that have turned its leaves, as to puzzle
the operations of photography, and the
effort is a failure.
Advance in’Building Matehials.—
The advance in New York in the price of
building materials since last Fall is re
ported as follows: Iron to 100 per
cent; bricks from $5.50 to $11 per thou
sand, lumber from $11 to $18, latlis from
$1.25 to $2.15, cement from 25 to 30 cents
per barrel, lime from $1.25 to $2X0 per
barrel, plaster 15 cents, plasterers’ hair 6
to 10 cents per bushel, and so on.
How Db Lessep’s Sentiments ahe
Received in Washington.—A special
dispatch to the TForW says much mingled
indignation and amusement was caused
here to-night by the reports of the arro
gant bearing of M. de Lcsseps about the
United States in conversation with the
reporters to-day.. Secretary Evarts is par
ticularly indignant at his allusion to the
Monroe doctrine as sentimental politics,
The House Committee is actively engaged
in preparing a suitable resolution which
may show that the Monroe doctrine, as
applied to the case of M. de Lesseps in
Panama, is very practical politics.
A Strike at Chattanooga.—The
Chattanooga Times, says yesterday all the
puddlers and their assistants and 11 boys,
employed at the Roane Iron Works,
struck for higher wages. They had been
formerly making about $5.50 per ton, but
now demand $0X0. The boys demand a
rise of 25 per cent., having received $1
formerly, and now claim $1.25 daily. The
strikers number 47, among whom are in
cluded the Germans lately arrived from
St. Louis. There is not much prob
ability that their demands will be acceded
to; but the company will probably, if they
persist, supply their places by workmen
from abroad.
The Water Tower.—The first really
practical test of the merits of the “water-
tower’’ was made at the Broadway fire,
Friday night. It is a long telescopic iron
tube, which when open is almost the
height of a five-story building, and can be
raised to that perpendicular height upon
its carriage. The hose from two powerful
engines were led into the tower, which
hurled nearly 1,500 gallons of water a
minute with tremendous force directly in
to the fourth story of the building. The
action of the tower is controled by a fire
man standing at the base, who directs the
stream through tire nozzle above. Friday
night the tower worked satisfactorily for a
while, but was disabled after an hour or
so.
—The spring trade in drygoods at New
York and other important points is ex
cellent, and perhaps the most encourag
ing featnre of it is the fact that an unu
sually large proportion of the purchases is
for cash. The advance of 20 or 30 per
cent, in domestic goods does not dampen
the eagerness of buyers, and many of the
great stocks have been reduced very low.
Meanwhile the factories in New England
have about all they can do, the quotations
of their shares have advanced rapidly,
and their employees have in many cases
received material advances in their wages.
The sales of prints have thus far been
double those of last spring, and the stocks
of print cloths at Fall River and Provi
dence are small, with a strong market.
In Dignified Retirement.—Mr. Ho
ratio Seymour, having been visited by a
correspondent of the Bocliester Union,
was found looking “as young and hearty
as he did ten years ago,” and surrounded
by books, birds and divers treasures of art
and antiquity. He owns the office chair
which Webster used to occupy, and has
several tiles taken from the fire-place of
the stately old house where Washington
used logo “a-courtin”’Mary Fhillippse.
The ex-Govemor offers wine to his^guests
but takes none himself. It is related that
at the time of the Maine law excitement
in New York, when he, as Governor, ve
toed tho prohibitory bill, casks of fine li
quor and tons of choice wines were sent
to him from all quarters by his admirers.
He thus has a cellar full of rare old vin
tages which he dispenses to his callers,
but never touches himself.
The New Telegraph Company.—
The Charleston Netcs and Courier says
Mr. T. W. Foster, of Wilmington, N. C.,
an agent of the American Union Tele
graph Company, has been in this city for
several days past to ascertain by a per
sonal visit to the business men of the
community what encouragement the new
company may expect. Mr. Foster says
that he has met with very gratifying suo
dcss, and has a list of two hundred and
seventy-five names, including those of
many of the prominent bankers, mer
chants and brokers of this city, who agree
to give the new company exclusively
their telegraph business for a term of
years, and in return arc to receive from
the new company a first-class telegraphic
service at reduced rates. Mr. Foster says
that it is the intention of the company, if
they meet with the same encouragement
that they have in Wilmington, Richmond,
Norfolk, Petersburg and this city, to rorrn
a perfect network of telegraph lines
throughout the South, and when complet
ed they expect to do three-fourths of the
Southern business.

the sale of the Macon and Brunswick
road are to be made in Atlanta to
day. Last evening Mr. J. M. John
son, who represents Mr. R. T. Wilson, of
New York, went to Atlanta. -Mr. James
M. Couper, of Brunswick, another of the
lessees, reached Atlanta yesterday morn
ing. Mr. McGhee, another of the lessees,
is expected. Unless some unthought-of
technicality arises, it is confidently hopet^
the whole matter will be settled by mid
night.
Snnday School Meeting Last Sight
The first meeting of the Rckoboth Sun
day-school Convention took place in the
First Baptist Church last evening, and
was a pleasant occasion. Quite a number
assembled, and, after brief devotional ex
ercises, Dr. E. W. Warren, pastor of the
church, welcomed the visitors, and stated
the character of the meeting, namely, to
give thanks to Almighty God, and that
popularly it was called a Praise Meeting.
He said that it was desirable that as many
as possible should speak, and hoped -the
addresses would be brief, spiritual and in
formal.
Addresses were then made by Rev. Dr.
M. B. Wharton, Rev.T. C. Boykin, Rev.
Dr. J. S. Key, Mr. L. O. Niles, and Rev.
W. H. Rice, of Marshallville, Mr. R. F.
Burden, Mr. N. Bliss and Rev. Dr. A. J.
Battle. The exercises were interspersed
with songs.
It was evident that a spirit of piety is
pervading the hearts of our Christian peo
ple. Much interest was manifested in the
Sundry-school convention to meet to-day,
and the probability is that it will be the
best Sunday-school meeting the*associa-
tion has ever held. The exercises to-day-
will be Taried and interesting, and those
who attend will be highly entertained by
the discussions. Among the visitors pres
ent are Dr. S. G. Hillyer, of Forsyth;
Dr. B. F. Tharp, of Perry; Rev. B. L
Ross, of Fort Valley, and several promi
nent laymen.
The convention will hold three sessions
to-day, beginning at nine o’clock this
morning, at three o’clock p. m., and at
half past seven this evening. The public
invited to attend.
The programme for to-day is as fol
lows:

Bepablhaa Convention.
Night before last the Republicans of
this city held a regular caucus in the shop
of Jeff Long to consider the situation.. A
number of whites were present, and a
larger number of the sable population.
An endeavor was made to organize the
county. Speeches were made by both
whites and blacks, and the interchange of
ideas was quite free and informal. The
subject of the appointment of Democrats
to official positions by the administration
was freely discussed and dis
approved, the view taken that either
none but Republicans or none but Demo
crats should fill official positions, on the
ground that “to the victor belongs the
spoils.”
Another meeting was held last night.
The movement has yet developed no
strength. At the meeting last night it
was determined to make a straight out
fight in the coming elections, tlie evident
hope being a coalition with the indepen
dent element which exists in the vivid
Republican imagination.

We learn from
several cases of small pox have occurred
within the last ten days in Houston
county, about six miles from Byron, on
the place of Mr. James Barnes. The dis
ease is of a mild type, and the most strin
gent measures are being used to prevent
its spread. Dr. Richardson, of Byron,
who was called in to the first case, is at
tending the others.
From the best information to be obtain
ed on tlie subject, it is probable the dis
ease will be confined to those now suffer
ing with it and those who are already in
fected with the disease by contact With
them. Smallpox is a malady which usu
ally attends and follows war, and the ap
pearance of the disease in a rural district
at this time causes considerable surprise,
It is supposed the infection was derived
from a lot of second-hand clothing pur
chased a short time since from a dealer in
this kind of goods in this city, and the dis
ease -developed itself on the .wearers of
the clothing after they had . them some
days. It is hoped that the cases may be
confined to narrow bounds and their spo
radic character preserved.
CATHOLIC MISSION.
Interesting Meetings.
There have been in progress at the
Catholic Church during the week some
more than usually interesting mission
meetings held by the missionary fathers.
Rev. McGloughlin and - Henry. The
meetings have proven highly-edifying to
all who have attend I and have enlisted
the deep i^tere? "<f ail of the Catholic
faith in the city. Tlie church has each
evening been filled witli large congrega
tions. Tlie Missionary Fathers engaged
iii the present labor are zealous and earn
est workers and no work seems too great
for tbem.
Last evening in response to the call of
the new bell a large congregation assem
bled, and the exercises were probably the
most interesting of the week. The priests
who are conducting the Mission have
made fine impressions on all who have
heard them. Father McGloughlin is of
striking aud imposing appearance, and
his delivery is very fine. Although
young man he bears the reputation of be
ing one of the the most profound theolo
gians of the church in America,
Father Henry has made during the
week a decided impression by his clear
aud practical thoughts, and his earnest
and emphatic manner. The meetings
will close on Sunday evening.
The mission has been one of the most
prosperous ever held in this city. This
evening at 7:30 o’clock, Father McGlough
lin will preach on “The blessed Virgin
Mary.” To-morrow Father Henry will
preach On the True Church, at 10:30
o’clock a. m., in the mass, and at 7X0
vespers. To-morrow evening Fa
ther McGloughlin will preach on one of
the greatest subjects of the times: “Per

vation.”

MACON AND
ROAD.
BRUNSWICK
The Accident on tlie Central Road.
The particulars of the accident on the
Central road, on Thursday evening at
Gordon, were necessarily meagre on ac
count of the early hour at which the tele
graph office at that place closes. Yester
day the following additional particulars
were learned: The train was the one
known in the schedule book as No. 5 of
section A, and as it was passing over the
switch of the track connecting the main
line and the Eatonton branch, an axle of
the tender broke.
The train at the same time was in some
way severed from the engine and it and
the tender released from its load shot
ahead. The tender was dragged along
the track and getting across it stopped the
engine. The fireman and wood-passer
sprang from the machine and were
unhurt. Mr. Urquehart however, ran
out on the front of his engine. The
train not having lost its momen
tum, came thundering after the now
disabled engine, and striking the tender,
knocked it around to the side of the en
gine and up against it. Mr. Urquehart
was caught between it and the engine and
seriously injured. ,
The engine was very badly damaged
about nearly all of its parts. It will
probably not be brought to Macon but
sent at once to Savannah for repairs.
Mr. Urquehart was brought to the city
yesterday and taken to his residence in
East Macon. He is badly bruised but it
is thought he will recover, and that soon,
although it is thought it will be a number
of months before he will be able to re
sume his duties. Mr. Urquehart is one
of the best engineers on the road and has
been fora long while in the employ of the
Central railroad.
Tbe Sale Finally. Effected—How tbe
News was Received in Macon.
From specials received at this office
yesterday we learn that the sale of the
Macon and Brunswick Railroad was con
summated yesterday at two o’clock, the
money being paid and the papers duly
signed, sealed and delivered to the com
pany represented by R. T. Wilson &
Co., of New York. This settles at last,
and definitely, the much discussed ques
tion as to the final disposition of the road.
There seemed to be a little nervousness
among the friends of parties interested in
the present company, lest something
should prevent a conclusion of the pend
ing trade. Yesterday, however, the ar
rangements which have been on the rag
ged edge, as it were, ever since the lease-
sale on the 13th of January, were conclu
ded, and the road passed ont from the
control of the State into the hands of a
wealthy company.
The final arrangements for the sale of
the road would have been concluded and
the mouey paid and deed passed to
lessees several days since hut for the ab
sence of -a paper, delayed en route, and
the absence of Mr. William Johnson, one
of the lessees, whose presence was deemed
necessary by the others of the company.
Both paper and lessee arrived yesterday
morning, and at half pa3t nine o’clock an
interview was had with the Governor‘and
the details of the transaction pe. fected.
At 2 o’clock every paper necessary to
the lease and subsequent purchase had
been signed and the money required by
the act paid into the Treasury, and the
lessees received the deed to the road. Mr.
William Johnson, of New York, abrother
of Mr. J. M. Johnson of this city and of
New York, has been chosen President of
the road. He is a partner in the firm of
R. T. Wilson & Co.
Tho remainder of the officers aud per
sonnel of the organization of the com
pany has not as yet been announced." It
is understood, however, that Colonel A.
J. Lane, of this city, will hold a prominent
position aud Colonel George H. Hazle-
hurst will also be given an important po
sition. .1
The purchase has been made in the
strictest good faith and this statement is
based on authority which cannot be
questioned. The lessees intend to carry
out all the provisions of the act under
which the purchase is made. They will
as soon as practicable build the extension
provided for in the act. We have the best
authority to say also that the exact route
has not been selected as yet. That will
necessarily depend on surveys. The
Kimball demonstration,our specials state,
did not alarm the State or the lessees,
and gave no special trouble in the final
adjustment of affairs.
No suits arc anticipated, but the new
owners expect to go into prompt and
peaceable possession of their purchase,
They profess themselves, however, fully
fortified to resist any attempt to give
them trouble .by legal resorts. The friends
of the Brunswick road in Atlanta are par
ticularly jubilant over the result of the
whole matter.
The company have in contemplation a
grand scheme for opening up the through
trade of the West to the port of Bruns
wick, and it is thought their lhclinations
are decidedly in favor of the Knoxville
route.
The news in Macon was received with
decided satisfaction, and a feeling of se
curity for Macon’s interest, so far as the
railroad could affect it, was evident. Not
only is Macon hut the people of Bruns
wick and along the entire line are to be
congratulated on the result of tbe sale,
were delivered with force and enthusiasm
much to the interest and edification of
large congregation. Written questions
wore then sent up, which were answered
off-hand aud ably by Rev. T. C. Boykin.
The Convention has been an interesting
one. The attendance was quite flattering;
the interest manifested was deep; the ad
dresses were all good. We feel sure that
tlie effect must be good upon the churches
and schools represented.
Resolutions were adopted requesting all
in tlie schools and churches of the Asso
ciation to increase their zeal and labor in
tliis cause, and urging that a Sunday
school be organized and maintained in
each church, and that full statistics be re
ported to the Rehoboth Association.
To-day the First Baptist Sunday school
will commence at 9:30 promptly, and the
exercises will he conducted by Rev. T. C.
Boykin, Sunday school Evangelist. All
the schools of the cityare invited to a Sun
day school mass meeting at 9:30 o’clock.
Rev. T. C. Boykin will preach at the
First Baptist church at 11 o’clock a. m.,
on the subject “Parental training of chil
dren.” Dr. S. G. Hillyer will preach in
the same church at night. -
Dr. B. F. Tliarp will preach in the
South. Macon church in the morning at
11 o’clock, and Rev. B. H. Ivy at uight.
At 3 o’clock p. m., at the First church
will be held a children's mass, meeting.
It will be conducted by Rev. T. C. Boy
kin and others, followed by addresses on
how to use the blackboard by Mr. C. B;
Ellis, Rev. S. Roy kin and Mr. C. G.
Smith. '
Wrong Train.
Last evening a young gentleman of the
city acting as the escort of a
young lady of Forsyth, who was to leave
on the Atlanta train, by mistake placed
her on the Macon and Brunswick train,
and tlie error was not discovered until the
train had passed out of the car shed, and
it was too late to overtake it.
The mistake arose from the fact that
both trains leave on the same track with
in a short-time of each other. A free use
of the wires were made. Colonel H. M.
Drane, with commendable promptness,
sent the necessary directions to the con
ductor of the Macon and Brunswick
train to Cochran, and the friends of the
young lady in Forsyth weie notified of
the singular mistake, and this morning
everything will be readjusted and correc
ted.
Number!** the City.
Mr. T. W. Brantley, who has been au
thorized to number the city, has gone en
ergetically to work to attach to each bouse
in the city its appropriate number. The
straight system has been adopted, it hav
ing been concluded that the decimal
method would not onlybe too compli
cated but almost impracticable in this
city. The numbering on streets running
north and south will comment at the
corporate line of tlie Southern part of the
city and run towards the "north. Streets
running north and south, not terminating
on the corporation line, will have the ini
tial numbers at the southern termini. On
streets extending east and west, the num
bering will begin at the eastern end.
Wharf street has been thoroughly num
bered, and last evening the placing of the
numbers on Walnut street was comple
ted. The space of fifty feet is
allowed to each number in the
residence portion, aud thirty-five feet
in the business part of tbe city, unless the
space which would have been allowed is
actually occupied with bnildings, in which
event each house of course takes a num
ber. The ordinary numbers cost the own
ers or tenants of houses bnt ten cents, and
this small amount should be promptly
The Sunday School Convention.
The Rehoboth Sunday School Conven
tion met yesterday morning at 9 o’clock at
the First Baptist Church. Dr. A. J.:
Battle conducted the devotional exercises,
after which the Convention was opened
in due form.
President L. O, Niles, of Marshalville,
in the chair, and thirty-one delegates from
eight Sunday Schools in the Association
were found to be present. All Sunday
School workers of all denominations were
invited to seats and were requested to
take part in the exercises. The Presi
dent and tbe Vice Presidents then matte
verbal reports of tho Sunday School work
in the Association, and it was found to.be
in a favorable condition.
A committee on business matters was
appointed, to report in the afternoon, after
which Dr. S. G. Hillyer opened the disr
cussions of the day by speaking on the
subject of exciting on interest in the Sun-
day-school in the churches, followed by
Rev.T. C. Boykin, of Atlanta,Sunday-
school Evangelist of the State. Rev. B
L. Ross, of Fort Valley, addressed the
meeting on securing punctuality in
schools. These addresses were heard
with interest and profit by all.
In the afternoon, officers for another
year were elected, as follows:
President—C. C. Smith, Macon; Vice-
Presidents—A. J. King, Thomaston; C.B.
Ellis, Macon; L. O.,Niles, Marshallville;
Secretary—S. Boykin; Assistant Secreta-
rys—Mr. Cooper, of Houston Factory, and
K. P. Moore; Treasurer Brown,C.
C. Smith.
Executive Committee—Rev. B. H.
Ivey, Dr. S. G. Hillyer, Dr. E. W. War
ren.
A resolution of thanks to Mr. Niles, for
his efficient labors as president during the
past year, was adopted unanimously. Mr.
Niles has made a very able and zealous
officer.
Dr. A. J. Battle then delivered an in
teresting little address on “How to con
duct adult Bible Classes,” after which Mr.
C. B. Ellis, in lieu of an address on the
‘True use of Teachers’ Meeting,” showed
practically how the teachers’ meeting of
his school was conducted, his teachers all
being present, and his regular exercises
being carried through. They were inter
esting.
Afterward addresses were made by
Revs. S. Boykin and T. C. Boykin. Dr.B.
F. Tharp,ofPerry, made some appropriate
remarks on the “True use of Teachers’
meeting.”
At night very able and interesting ad
dresses were delivered by Rev. T. C. Boy
kin and Mi*. C. C. Smith on the “True
Object of Sunday-school Labor,” which
they conclusively showed to be for the
benefit of the spiritual interests of the
young, and to secure their salvation. The
addresses were carefully prepared, and
A Card.
The folowing card will explain itself.
It was written on the 26th of February
and should have appeared on the morning
of the 27th instant, simultaneously with
the card announcing the change of tlie
proprietary interests of this paper. It was
delayed by circumstances over which I
had ho control:
Having finally failed to perfect the'pur
chase of the interest of Mr. A. W. Reese
in this paper, after announcing the same,
I take this method qf stating that I have
no proprietary rights in the Telegraph
and Messenger, and my name is this
morning withdrawn from the firm name.
I am truly grateful for the many kindly
and unmerited notices at the hands of my
brethren of tlie press throughout the
State.

Investigation of the Tay Bridge
Disaster.
London, February 28.—Inquiry into
the cause of the disaster to the railroad
bridge over the Frith of Tay on the night
of December 28th, by which many lives
were lost, is now proceeding at Dundee,
Scotland, before the Board of Trade.
Several painters, who painted the bridge
'last summer, have testified that they saw
numerous bolt boles empty; that they
found bolts where there should have been
rivets; that they found rivets without heads
and bars loosened, and nuts unscrewed;
that one of the supporting columns of the
high girders, which was cracked from top
to bottom, was held together with four
hoop bands; that sometimes tlie
oscillation of the bridge was so
great they thought it would, fall. The
evidence has created considerable sensa
tion; but its value cannot be estimated
until the railway inspectors' are heard on
the subject.
Fin in Copenhagen.
London, February 28.—A dispatch
from Copenhagen to the Standard, dated
Friday night, says a fire is raging here,
which threatens the destruction of the en
tire quarter. The fire brigade appears to
be unable to cope with it. Fears are en
tertained for the British embassy. Tbe
King and Crown Prince of Denmark are

A Musical Bigamist Arrested.
Norfolk, February 28.—Hi T. Ben
nett, organist of the Disciples Church in
this city, Was arrested yesterday-afternoon
for bigamy upon information furnished
by his pastor, Rev. C. S. Blackwell.
Proofs were positive. Bennett says that
Sat the time of his last marriage he be
iieved his former wife dead.
Small Pox.
Yesterday Mr. James Barnes, on whose
place the small pox in Houston county is
said to exist, called at this office
and assured us that there was none
there. From a correspondent to the
Perry Home-Journal, however, we clip
the following. We hope Mr.- Barnes may
be right, and that the disease may yet
prove to be some other disease of a milder
type:
Considerable excitement has been
caused in this part of the county by the
report that small-pox is abroad in the
land. At first many doubted the truth of
the report, but the truth is now established
beyond a peradventure. Doctore C. H.
Richardson and R. H. Baskin have made
a full diagnosis of the cases, and are satis
fied that tlie disease is tlie genuine small
pox, though in a mild form. There are
three cases on Mr. James Barnes’ planta
tion, near the Crawford line. All the
parties afflicted are negroes. There is no
occasion for any alarm, as precautions are
taken to prevent the general spreatrornre
disease; and if necessary the people will
fall back upon their reserved rights, and
establish a shot gun quarantine. We
hope the disease will not spread further.
So far ,it is a mystery how the disease
originated. I will try to post you more
fully next week. : •

Knowing you to be always ready to con
tribute to the happiness and comfort ami
especially the health of your readers, I
take the liberty of asking you to insert the
following from the Charleston ATews and
Courier, on tlie subject of this new and
interesting sport now being introduced
into our country: (
“There is an old English sport, howev
er, which lias never gone out of fashion in
that country, and which for several years
jast has gradually been gaining in popu-.
arity on this side of the Atlantic, and es
pecially at the North, which seems admi
rably adapted to our special needs, and
which, if it could once be fairly introduced
here and elsewhere in the South, would
doubtless soon become a favorite pastime
with all classes of our people. The shady
groves of our suburbs, the broad beaches
of our islands are especially adapted
for the practice -of archery. Our
winter -days are seldom cold enough
to numb the fingers, and oar summer
days never so hot but that a cool hour
and a cool spot may be selected for draw
ing the*bow. • Archery is exercise with-
Oqtffitlgtte^ainl that is the great desider
atum of sports in this-'climate. This
pastime is also almost the only manly ex
ercise from which the fair sex is not ex
cluded, and whenmen have so little sppe
time, this is no mean advantage, enabling
them to enjoy the physical exercise which
they need, and at "the same time to. profit
by the refining influences of the compan
ionship of ladles. It is as beneficial also
to the women as to the men, for it strength
ens their bodies Without corrupting tneir
manners. The practiced lady archer is
erect and graceful by mere force of habit,
for when she draws the bow she must
stand upright and draw a full breath
pending" her lungs to the ‘Qtnlost. SA^j
and limbs are brought into action, and
there is a gentle strain op all the muscles;
thus rendering it the most healthy as well
the most fascinating of pastimes. * .
“As yet archery has not been regularly
introduced at the South, but in the East
ern and Middle States, toxopbolite club*
are tlie rage, and they are fast becoming
fainionable in the larger cities of the
West. Whoever popularizes at the South
a sport so admirably adapted to our tastes
and our climate will be a public beuer
factor.”
Hmhmt to aXMaltt.
At tlie fourth anniversary celebration at
the Johns nopkins University, of Balti
more, which took piace on the 22d in
stant,a brilliant programme was arranged*
Secretary Evarts delivered the address,
and Macon’s gifted son, Mr. Sidney La
nier, was chosen to read the ode of the
occasion. As is usnai, he acquitted him
self with high honor. From the Balti
more American, we clip the following no
tice of the ode and its author:
The ode by Mr. Sidney Lanier was a
happy production, embodying in poetic
language almost all there is to be said of
the university at this stage of its growth.
The idea running through it was that of
the birth and rapid development of a mod
em Minerva, at whose shrine all the rep
resentatives of established institutions
-amp to pay homage. The unanimous
sentiment of those present regarding the
ode was one of unqualified praise, which
must have gratified the writer, coming
from persons of the very highest intelli
gence, whose ability to criticise falrjy
cannot be questioned.
Last evening Bishop Beckwith preached
sermon "at Saint John’s Mission
Chapel in East Macon, and confirmed .a
class of twenty-two persons in the Episco
palian faith.

London, February 28.—The Vienna
correspondent of the Times says the re
cent editorial articles of tlie North Ger
man Gazette on Russo-German relations
are construed there as a continuation of
Prince Bismarck’s struggle against Prince
Gortsdiakoff and General Milat'cn, Rus
sian Minister of War; that the manner in
which tbe Russian press has sought to
make use of the recent demonstration of
German sympathy for the Czar to prove
that the old relations between tne two
states still exist, has called forth the arti
cles of the North German Gazette as a
protest against the theoiy that the personal
relations of the two dynasties control the
relations of the governments.
London, February 28.—The town of
Urfa in Asiatic Turkey, situated on the
