**\Ye have just heard of a ludicrous acci
dent which occurred to Joseph (Fatty)
Williams, who might have served as the
original for Dickens fat hoy. It seems
that Fatty had been persuaded by some
bad \ iuevilie boys, to put on a pair of
wings and go on a lark with them. Be-
j n .. unable to manage the pinions, Fatty
was naitied up by the crowd for about a
mile, and then dropped. They expected
to see him sail gradually to earth, but to
their astonishment he gave one swoop,
ami then went end over end like
a tumbler pigeon, . striking in
the river, from which he was
rescued by John Darter, who made a
magnitirent curve downwards, caromed
on the river's surface, and hauled the
amateur ashore, Prof. Spread says the
boy is tfto round, and cannot balance
on wings without the aid of his Pat
ent Fan-tail Attachment, which lie lias al
ready exhibited on Fatty. Late in the
evening lie passed over the city with the
greatest ease, looking somewhat, however,
like a weather-cock lost in a storm.”
»,\Ve regret to learn that somebody has
pul a load of bird shot into Mrs. Skimmer,
a charming young widow who lives in the
upper part of Bibb. She was returning
home late the other evening, and was
doubtless taken for a wild swan. There
is a delicate compliment in the mistake,
which Mrs. S. will appreciate when she
gets the shot out of her leg.”
“The great flying match from Canada to
Cuba came off yesterday; about five o’clock
in the afternoon messengers darted in
from Carolina and gave notice of the ap
proach of the excursionists. Soon there
flashed through the heavens, the racers,
dressed in gaudy colors upon which the
sunlight gianced merrily, while behind
them came triumphal boats, cars and
barges driven by steam, and exquisitely
decorated with ribbons and streamers. A
reporter of the Telegraph and Mes-
SEXtiEj: joined the party and accompa
nied it as far as Florida. A band of mu
sic was hidden in one of the barges, and
discoursed sweet music over the land.”
“As Mr. Snapper, of Fulton county,
was returning home last night, he was
seized by two men when a mile above
this city and robbed. Though the gen
tleman shouted lustily for the police,
none came to his assistance. This oc
curred on John Mahoney’s beat. The
matter will be investigated.”
“Yesterday at dinnertime, Mr. Shaiper,
who collects for a popular firm in this
city, was severely beaten by a gentleman
to whom he had presented a bill in the
air.” *
This was all the reporter found in his
note hook, and just as a smile of sweet
content was flooding his countenance, the
letter nine twisted itself into an eight, and
his eye9 opened out of a prophetic dream,
upon the dull realities of ten years earlier.
a permanent customer. But the projectors
hesitated until irou rose to double its then
value, and the railroad constructed a
system of its own. The plan is, however,
feasible; there is a fall of twelve or fifteen
feet fmm Massey’s upper pond to the old
court house square. This system would
cost $15,000.
The third plan, which is now being con
sidered by some of our enterprising busi
ness men, is to take the river water, force
it into reservoirs, filter it and distribute
throughout the city by means of water
mains. This could he done, it is thought,
for $75,000 and perhaps, is at this time the
most feasible. It has not the grand pro
portions of the first, nor will it benefit the
city as largely, hut will give U3 plenty of
water for use, and perhaps, after awhile
the other plan will be carried out by a
manufacturing company.
We shall, in a few days, he able to give
the facts and figures in the cheaper sys
tem, and the names of those who are now
making up the plans and estimates. One
tiling is certain, every one is directly in
terested in this question of water, and all
encouragement should be given those who
are pressing it towards a successful ending.
There are natural difficulties sufficient to
contend with, and neither individuals nor
the city authorities should add others.
Those Water Works Again.
Of all the subjects which have been pre
sented to the notice of our citizens, there
is none of such vast importance as the
construction of a proper system of water
works. Time and again in these columns
have we urged nponthe city, the necessity
of a cheap and plentiful supply of water
in our midst; routes for canals have been
sun eyed,estimates and plans for aqueducts
made up and a reservoir systjom
mapped out and submitted in vain. Com
panies have been formed only to disband,
and projects begun, only to he abandoned.
The city is scarcely any better off UHday,
than it was forty years ago, when the first
effort was made. Scarcity of capital s :ems
to have been,and is now the great obs ade
in the way, or mote properly the sea unty
of willing capitalists. It fa hardly in cy-der
here, to argue as to the necessity of
for the city. No one denies it. E'
mjs flat “it will be the salvation of fye
city, etc.,” and there the subject dies,
The grandest plan which has been agi
tated so far is the project to build from
the Shoals, nine miles above Macon, a ca
nal fifty feet wide at the bottom, through
wiiich a stream of water having a ‘fall of
forty feet from the upper end would flow
through the city. George H. Hazlchurst,
Esq., made a survey for this canal many
years ago, mapped out the land, and made
all necessary estimates. A company was
formed, and large sums of money expen
ded in the purchase of the land through
which this canal was to have run. The
hill above the cemetery was purchased
for a reservoir, and everything
seemed favorable for the comple
tion of the enterpri c, when
the hard times came on and the project
failed. That plan put into shape now
would give the city in a few years long
lines of mills, a complete system of wa
terworks, and a highway for the transpor
tation of the crops of all counties above
ttsj the city would be brought into com
munication with a large purchasing sec
tion, our wood could be bought cheap;
new industries would spring up, and the
population double in ten years. But this
would require an outlay of $250,000,
Which under the new constitution neither
the city nor county can contribute, and
which capitalists will not.
The next project was to" lease Massey’s
•nd McCall’s ponds, and transport to the
*ity through iron pipes a clear bold stream
of water, which could be distributed by
engines into two reservoirs, one on the
npper, the other on the lower level. This

Yesteiday a reporter of the Telegraph,

test of the brick and tile machine just
erected in C. C. Stratton & . Co.’s brick
yard, below the pity. This machine Is a.
novelty, and well worth the trip of two
miles to see it in motion.^ It fa the only
one in the State of Georgia to-day, and re
flects great credit upon the enterprise of
the gentlemen who erected it in our
midst.
The reader may imagine an upright
cylinder seven feet in height and three in
diameter, in which, perpendicularly, fa set
a Bessemer steel shaft double the
size of a man’s arm. Ex
tending right and left from this
shaft within, : s a series of arms and knives.
Into this cylinder the common pipe clay
of the neighborhood fa thrown and broken
up by these knives as the shaft revolves.
The clay falls to the bottom,and fa caught
by a broad curved flange of steel, and
pressed downward into boxes beneath tlis
cylinder. A cam movement beneath
drives the clay in strips through dies to
the right and left, and as it projects
upon a series of rollers, it is
cut by knives, set in a
light frame work, into brick shapes.
This clay, before it issues, has been sub
jected to a pressure of twenty tons, and fa
dry enough to place in kilns immediately.
They are equal to the best pressed bricks.
By using other dies or moulds, tiles and
curved well bricks are made.
This machine works very rapidly and
turns out from 25,000 to 35,000 brick a
day. It fa mostly of steel, and has given
perfect satisfaction here and wherever
used. Its cost with the steam engine to

COMPLIMENT TO CINCINNATI.
Macon, Ga., March 27,1880.
The undersigned, a portion of the visi
tors from this city at the recent celebra
tion of the opening of the Cincinnati
Southern llailroad, take pleasure in bear
ing testimony to the uniform courtesy and
kind atte ition on the part of the officers
and attaches of that grand highway to the
West, and to tho cordial and munificent
reception extended to them by the citi
zens of the “Queen City.” Nothing was
lacking to make their visit agreeable In
every respect, and to be ever remembered
as one of the most pleasing incidents of
their lives. They hope and believe that
the connection will produce reciprocal
benefits to both sections.

Hawkins.
It lias been suggested that an effort be
made to preserve this relic of the past,and
to keep it on exhibition as an historic
building of Georgia. Doubtless a small
sum of money would purchase it with an
acre or two of the surrounding land. This,
with a neat fence, and a few trees planted
about the grounds, will give to the city a
pretty pic-nic resort. The building might
be fitted up as a museum for the reception
of Indian relics; many of our citi
zens have fine collections of these antiq
uities and perhaps would be willing to de
posit them in the fort during the summer
months, or for all time, if they were as
sured that proper care would be taken ot
them.
As the country becomes more thickly
populated, all signs and vestiges of the
race that once inhabited this land, grow
fainter. Eventually they will pass away
entirely. Fort Hawkins is one of the old
est buildings in the State, and should by
ajl means be preserved. The city, whose
birth and growth was almost under the
shadow of its walls, should see that "
does not go to ruins.

Ten years ago Mr. Schwed came to this

returns with the proud conviction of suc

The Cincinnati Convention.—
There is a story afloat that the Demo
cratic National Executive Commjttce will
perhaps be called together again to re
locate the Convention, on the ground that
obstacles are beingobtruded to connecting
the hall selected with the telegraph wires.
We presume Cincinnati will see the ne
cessity of removing all such obstacles.

Galveston, March 20.—In the Repub
lican Convention at Austin yesterday, a
resolution instructing the delegates to
Chicago to vote for Grant was bitterly op
posed. It was finally agreed to instruct the
delegates to vote as a unit. This was at
once accepted by the Grant men as equiv
alent to instructions, and adopted. Gov
ernor Davis was elected as one of tho del
egates at large.
'St. Louis, March 20.—The Republican
Anti-Third Term Committee has adopted
a call for a National Mass Convention, to
meet in St. Louis May 0th, to the end
that a national organization may be per
fected, through which a proper expression
of the will of the people against the prin
ciples of a third Presidential term may be
secured, with a view to limiting, by Con
stitutional amendment,- the Executive
terms. The call recites the patriotic prece
dent of Washington and his successors,
the declaration of Jefferson that “if some
termination of the services of the Chief
Magistrate be not fixed by the Constitu
tion, or supplied by practice, his office,
nominally four yeais, will in fact become
one for life.” It cordially approves the
declaration of the Pennsylvania State Re
publican Convention of 1875; also that of
New York, against the third term, and
deprecates the evident purpose of a faction
of the Republican party, to secure tlie re-
election of Grant, thereby endangering
the success of the party, and threatening
to subvert the policies hitherto regarded
as the safeguards of our institutions.
Nashville, March 20.—The appropri
ation to be awarded to the competitive

A London dispatch says the Augesbutg
Gazette asserts that the pending trouble
between Russia and China fa entirely due
to English influence -at- Pekin.. The

report until it fa confirmed, but maintains
that if China should eqter into a hostile

Petersburg,.Vi£,March 26.—Ahold
attempt was made last night to wreck the
Southern bound passenger train from tlie
North, between Weldon and Halifax, N.

no serious results.
Washington, March 27.—The House
refused to dispense with the morning
hour.
Mr. Robertson, of Louisiana, said yes
terday he had voted for McLane’s resolu
tion for the purpose of bringing the Town-
sliend bill before the House. Had he un
derstood a,certain decision of the Sperker,
he would have voted against the proposi
tion, because he was not a protection
ist.
McLane—By what right does the gen
tleman give any such significance to that
vote. I for one utterly repel and repudi
ate any such significance. There was not
such significance in that vote.
The Speaker theiijmioeeded to call the
committees for reports of a private na
ture.
Washington, March 26.—In the House
after long debate on the bill to extend the
patent on the shoe-pegging machine, the
morning hour expired, and the House,
without acting on the bill, went into com

dar. The first hill taken up was that for
tlie relief of L. Madiscn Day, of Louisi
ana, on account of property in New Or
leans, purchased by him from tlie United
States witli a defective title.
Mr. O’Conner of South Carolina, spoke
at length in favor of the bill, and Mr.
Hammond, of Georgia made a long argu
ment against it. W ithout disposing of the
bill the committee rose and the House ad
journed.
London, March 27.—Lord Harrington,
the Liberal leader, speaking at Padiham,
Lancashire, last night, pointed out in
what respects the policy of the opposition,
if returned to power, would differ from the
policy of the present Government. He
said they would not stake the interests or
honor of England oa the maintenance of
the independence and integrity of an un-
rcformed Turkish Government; they
would not treat tlie relations of the Tur
kish Government, with its Christian sub
jects, as a matter of interest only to Rus
sia and Turkey; they would not try to dis
turb tlie concert of Europe, if it was uni-
" id,as to what should be done; they would
do-,all in their power to promote that con
cert.
The Times, in a leading editorial this
morning, commenting on the above, says :
“LoM Harrington, in discussing the Eas
tern policy of the Government, avows
that Ms criticisms are designed not mere
ly to discredit the ministry, hut to indicate
what would have been his policy in the
past, and its tendency in tiny future. It
woifi I be the policy of coercing Turkey at
the < ost, if necessary, of war. The an-
nout cement of such a policy seems to de
prive the opposition speakers of all right
to denounce the Government for underta
king distant and arduous enterprises.

Feb uary, a Chilian force of eight or ten
thoi sandmen, with COO cavalry and plenty
of artillery, landed at the port of Paco-
chaj sixty miles north of Arica, and went
camp. On the same day three thou-
Chilians occupied the village of Vi-
twenty miles south of Pacocha, and
coipmunication was opened between the
‘camps. Two Chilian ironclads at the
e rime made demonstrations against

Thc effect of the attack on Arica was to
keep General Monteno occupied, so that
no opposition could be made to the Chili

a simultaneous naval and land attack will
soon be made on Arica in force, and the
result thereof fa awaited with much anxi-
aty.
Tlie Chilians, in their present position,

from Arica, and General Monteno’s situa
tion fa critical.
London, March 26.—A dispatch from
Berlin to the Standard says Mr. Glad
stone’s recent speech iu Edinburgh against
Austria fa the theme of endless ridicule
by the German press. The idea of call

at explanation.

which, after referring to the action of the

that is a question of privilege.
Mr. Hutchins—I do.
The Speaker—The Chair thinks it is a

clerk of the House—
Mr. Burrows, of Michigan, rose'to %

Mr. Hutchins, excitedly—I hope tho
gentleman will not interrupt me. I. wish
he would keep still. He has been-on his
feet over a thousand times this-session,-
and I intend to be heard.
The Speaker, severely—The gentle
man will conform to the rules of the
House.
Mr. Burrows made a point of order
that the question was notone of privi

Mr. Hutchins—As the rules are now
constituted, it is impossible to offer a res
olution to discharge tho committee except
by unanimous consent.
The Speaker—The gentleman h«s not
stated anything that amounts to a question
of privilege.
Mr. Hutchins—Is it not against the dig-
dity of the House ? I am anxious to vote
on those bills, and if tho gentleman will

Objection was made and the matter was

Washington, March 27.—A special
committee of the House on the Inter-
oceanic canal ship-railroad question gave
a hearing to-day to William F. Clianning,
of Providence, R. I., who advocated the
ship railroad in preference to tlie ship
canal. He claimed that it could . he con
structed for one-half, possibly one-third
of tlie cost ot a canal, and averred his be
lief that then if the canal was constructed
across the isthmus by foreign capital, the
ship railway would eventually be built by
American capital.
The sub-committee of the House Ap
propriation Committee are at work to-day
upon the, army appropriation bill. The
Commissary General was before them to
give some information relative to the re
quirements of his department. It is ex
pected both tlie army and navy appropri
ation bills will be reported to the House
Tuesday, or as soon as the consular and
diplomatic bill has been disposed of. The
House Judiciary Committee to-day held
another conference upon the Acklen case,
without reaching a conclusion as to the
character of their report.
Wshington, March 27.—In the House.
Mr. Wood, of New York, chairman of the
Committee on Ways and Means, reported
back the resolution calling on the Secre
tary of the Treasury for a detailed state
ment of the amount of bonds purchased
by the Treasury between the first of
January, 1844, and tlie first of January,
1859, setting forth the date and the
amount of each purchase, rate of interest
borne by the bonds then purchased, with
date of maturity thereof, and total premi
um, exclusive of accrued interest paid on
each purchase and its rate of per cent
Adopted.
The House having refused to dispense
with the morning hour, the speaker pro
ceeded to call committees for reports, and
a number of bills were reported and dis
posed. Also a bill to remove the political
disabilities • of Roger A. Pryor. The
Honse at one thirty went into committee
of the whole, (Converse, of Ohio, in the
chair), upon the consular and diplomatic
appropriation bill, all general debate to
conclude at three o’clock.
Mr. Blackburn, of Kentucky, a member
of the Appropriation Committee, stated
that if the bill was not modified and ma
terially changed, he could not give it his
support—for in its present shape he con
sidered it a crude, bill. . : He .denied the
statement made by Mr. Singleton, of Mis
sissippi, that the Consular system was
self-sustaining, and stated that it fell be
tween one hundred. thousand, and two
hundred thousand dollars short of being
so. He did not wish to be understood as
being opposed to the Consular system—
that system was well calculated to in
crease commerce and build-up the trade
of the country, and he desired only to
criticise its defects. Against the diplo
matic feature of the bill he did stand op
posed.
Mr. Blount, of Georgia, replied to. Mr.
Blackburn, and commented on the fact
that one member of the Appropriation
Committee had set himself up as a critic
of the other fourteen members of that
committee. As to the question 1 of diplo
matic and consular salaries, he reminded
tlie. House of the unsuccessful attempt of
the Democratic side of ..the House within
two Congresses, to reduce those salaries,
aud of the little sympathy which that
movement had commanded in the Senate,
and he also intimated that one ofthe
Democratic members who had most ridi
culed the diplomatic and consular sys
tem, and who was now Chairman of the
Committee on Foreign Affairs, had -repor
ted no measure on that subject.
Robeson and Orth followed in favor cf
the bill.
Mr. Nicholls, of Georgia, offered an
amendment authorizing the President to
appoint as secretaries of the legation, to
serve without compensation, any person
who has previously served as secretary of
legation. Ruled out on a point of order.
Mr. Singleton, of Mississippi, replied in
a five minutes’ speech to some of Mr.
Blackburn’s criticisms upon the bill, that
the Government had fallen into a series
of blunders, and reminded him of the
man who jumped into the stream without
knowing where he was going to land.
Mr. McMillan, of Tennessee, moved to
strike out the clause appropriating $20,000
for charge d’affaires, ad interim, aud dip
lomatic officers abroad.
Pending a vote, the committee rose, and
at 4:10 the Honse adjourned.
The Senate committee on appropriations
to-day practically completed tliefr consid
eration of the deficiency bill, which in
cludes appropriations of $600,000 for Uni
ted States marshals and deputy marshals,
and $400,000 for the government printing
office. The latter amount fa reduced
$100,000by the committee, inconsequence
ofthe passage by both Houses, (since the
pending bill was prepared), of a special
appropriation of $100,000 for the same pur
pose.
The amount of the House appropria
tion for marshals and their deputies will
not he changed, but the committee decid
ed that an amendment should be made in
the phraseology of the clause relative to a
futuremethodofappointing deputy mar
shals of elections. The- House provision
on this subject requires their appointment
by United States circuit or district judges,
but the constitution provides that ail ot
the officers shall he appointed by the
President, by and with the advice and con
sent of the Senate, with the reservation
that Congress may by law vest the ap
pointment of such inferior officers as it
thinks proper in the President alone, in.
heads of departments, or courts of law.
The committee therefore propose explieit-
ing them upon individual judges,

Militia have agreed upon a report on the
subject of reorganizing the militia, which
will borsubmitted to. the full Committee
at their next meeting; The report urges
the importance of national legislation
upon the subject; that th® present system
is obsolete, and tke anmihl appropriation!
wholly inadequate; that withoutlhterfer-
ing with the control of the'sever® States
over their militia forces, the Federal Gov
ernment should-fake action in the nature
of co-operation, and should make suffi-
oient annual appropriations for arming
and equipping tlie militia, and to pay tho
men for service during a prescribed period
of annual encampment and drill.
Harpjsbueg, March 27.—The Board

day, to consider the application for the
pardon of Kimble^Petrofi’, Salter,. Craw

have all been recenMy convicted, or have
plead guilty of corruptly soliciting votes
of members of the Legislature in connec
tion with the riot claims bills. The
Board, after hearing counsel of both sides,
consulted for about one hour, and finally
refused tlie. pardons asked for. None of
the applicants have as yet been sentenced.

of Cambridge, Massachusetts, arrested last
week for forgery, was served with a war
rant this morning charging him with mur
der. This action fa based upon the result
of a medical examination of the internal
organs of an infant son of Wellington who
died in January last. He denies poison
ing the boy, hut confesses to giving the
poison to his wife. The medical exami
nation reveals the fact that Wellington’s
child died of poisoning by arsenic, which
was administered at several different
times.
Cohoes, N. Y., March 27.—The weav

on Monday all the employes of that cor

be on a strike. The officials of the Har
mony Mills express the strongest deter

the disaffected workmen,and the pros
pects now are that the struggle will be
protracted indefinitely and urged in a
bitter spirit.

The province of Ceara in Brazil has
been for three years annoyed by one of
the most awlul drouths, attended by fam
ine, ever recorded. From a region of
luxuriant vegetation, prosperous people,
plantations productive and well ordered,
there is a change to absolute sterility, the
rainfall between June and January hav
ing consecutively failed. Out of 900,000
people who Jived • in Ceara in 1870, it is
reported by the United States consul at
Pernambuco, 200,000 have died of starva
tion and 300,000 by pestilence. The rem-
nant-of the population has fled to the sea-
coast, where the government of Brazil has
been doing everything within its power to
relieve them by employing them on the
railroads now under construction In 1871
the government appropriated $30,000,000
for relief, but the amount was issued in
paper currency which greatly depreciated
in value, aud it did not go very far. About
250,000 of the refugees are fed by the gov
ernment now, and the Emperor Dorn Pe
dro cannot he accused of indifference to
the fate of his subjects, as very great sac
rifices have been made and the govern
ment aid has been supplemented by large
private donations. But all this
not sufficient to meet the urgent demand
of food. For two years the small-pox
raged among the half-starved wretches,
who fed for a long time on rats and rep
tiles to keep alive. The Cearea famine is
far worse than that which scourged India
in 1875 and 1876, entailing a cost of $00,-
009,000 or $70,000,000 on the Govern
ment. It seems to be worse than the re
cent North China famine also, and more
nearly resembles the disaster which befel
Egypt in the years 1060,1062, 1062,1063,
through the failure of the Nile to rise.

ra, by the United States Consul m the
report referred to, fa terrible to contem

The Cool’ Change.—The Charleston
Fetes and Courier says truck farmers,
when they awoke yesterday morning, were
in fear and trembling lest there had been
frost during the night, which would
have cat down the growing crops and de
stroyed - their hopes of handsome profits.
There was, however, no frost of any con
sequence on the Neck or in Christ Church
Parish; the lowest place at which frost was
reported being about ten miles from the
city. The cold, However, has cut down
the supply of berries for the present, and
the tomatoes, cucumbers and peas look
droopy. The moon fills this morning, at
thirty-nine minutes past 8 o’clock, and the
weather prophets predict that if the frost
were coming at all it would come*before
daylight this morning, or during the night.
