Again os Durr.—Mr. Charlie Wood, one of
the shrewdest and best policemen Macon ever
had, is again on duty, and we are glad of it.
Leht.tt: fob Acocst.—Messrs. Brown Jfc Co.
have received Leslie's Lady's Magazine for Au
gust, one of the most brilliant publications of
its kind issued from the American press.
Messes. Smith, Wbstooit A Co., Cherry
street have laid one of the most handsome brick
pavements in front of their Btore, to be found
in the city. Who will go and do likewise?
Thz market was again abundantly supplied
yesterday with frails and vegetables. The
finest watermelons of the season were in town
—the Walker brothers sporting some very large
ones from the Augusta market
Imuamn fever is still quite prevalent in
the city, bnt of a mild form. In consideration
of the intensely warm weather of the last fort
night, it is a wonder that we have had so little
sickness thus far the present month.
Tubtjle Soup.—Mr. Bd. Fan, of the Mer
chant’s Exchango will serve his patrons to-day,
between 11 and 1 o'clock, by special request,
with a dish of soft shell turtle soup, flavored
with champagne wine.
Bbukswick and A leant Haileoad.—A gen
tleman who came np from Albany yesterday,
informs ns that the Brunswick and Albany Rail
road will be finished by the 10th of August,
and the good people of Southern Georgia ore
much elated thereat.
Suppeb at Geittin.—The committee of invi
tation have oar thanks for an invitation to at
tend a supper, tendered the Thomaston Literary
Association, by the Young Men’s Literary So
ciety, of Griffin, at their Hall, this (Wednesday)
evening.
The liveliest incident in the city yesterday,
was the runaway of a mule with a fruit wagon,
to which it was hitched. It slung peaches,
cantaloups, watermelons, etc., along the street
with a recklessness that disdained pecuniary val.
ue and the anguish of the owner.
Fobwabded.—The man Granger, ef whom we
have had so mnch to say of late, in connection
with the conspiracy to rob the Southern Ex
press office at this point, was fowarded yester
day to North Carolina, under a requisition from
the Governor of that State, to answear a charge
of murder.
The New Masoxig Temple.—The work on
this large and splendid building is progressing
rapidly. The foundation is now laid, and the
aleepen for the first floor are in position. Un
der the energetic strokes of Mr. J. J. Connell,
the contractor, the walls will now rise as if by
magic.
Axotheb Stobm.—Another and more violent
storm than that of Monday night passed over
immediately to the north of the city abont sun
set yesterday, and was followed by a heavy rain.
It must have been quite destructive in its path,
as the wind was very strong even in the city,
and blew off window blinds, canvass awnings,
etc. ~ _
Indian- Spuing.—Wo have heard several citi
zens assert their intention of visiting this popu
lar watering place to-morrow, to attend the
masquerade skate and dance to-morrow night at
the McIntosh House. Those who go will have
a lively and pleasant time, as there are few men
who know better how to receive a guest than
B. W. Collier.
Consolation to the Can't-Get-Awat Club.—
There are many of our friends who belong to
this Club for various reasons, and it becomes ns
to recommend some means by which they can
pass through the hot months pleasantly. We
know this is a hard task, and cannot please
all, bnt we guarantee onr advice will post yon
how to keep cool, and that is to drink Soda
Water from Zeilin & Co’s. Ice Cream Fountain.
Popped Him.—Judge Cowles, of the District
Court, ordered an indignant defendant in his
Court to jail, yesterday, for contempt.
For the first time in a long while, we noticed
several prominent members of the Macon Fire
Department on the jury. Judge Lochrane’a
decision in regard to persons claiming exemp
tion from jury duty because they are firemen,
has turned over a new leaf in the jury system.
Under the decision a man can be a fireman and
also bo subject to juiy duty.
Death of James A. Oates.—The many friends
and admirers of Mr. and Mrs. James A. Oates
in this city, will regret to learn that Mr. Oates
died on Friday last, at the Grand Central Hotel,
in New York. He had been sinking slowly, bnt
surely, under that most fatal disease, consump
tion, for the last three years. He was a most
genial and polite gentleman, and a most popu
lar theatrical manager with the Southern peo
ple. This whole community will sympathise
with his brilliant and versatile wife in this, her
sad affliction.
Boat House Sunk.—The heavy storm of Mon
day night sank the young men’s boat house,
lying in the river at the foot of Second street,
and they were pnlling, tugging and bailing yes
terday morning to get it again on the water's
surface.
The blow of Monday night was the heaviest
we have had in this section for several months,
and north of this point it was particularly se
vere. At Forsyth the roof of the Methodist
church was blown off, and trees and fencing
prostrated.
Bbown & Co. have just received: Graphic,
Chimney Comer, Harper’s Bazar, Mecnry,
Heart and Hand, Pilot, Waverly, Scientific
American, Police and Sporting papers.
Monthlies.—Ladies Friend and Frank Les
lie’s for Augnst.
It is now believed that, if Cains Cassius could
have had his rations cooked on one of those ex
cellent Chaeteb Oak Cooking Stoves, sold by
Truman Jfc Green, Triangular Block, Julios
Cfejar would never have spoken of that gentle
man as “Lean and hungry Cassius.” Ctcsar
was a man of rare discriminating powers. He
had a contempt for, and a suspicion of, lean
and sickly men. Think, then, of poor disgraced
Cassius—bny a Charter Oak Stove, and give
dysdedsia the go by.

The Nashville Banner, of Sunday, says:
Thursday night a band of men, the number
of which is variously estimated at from 30 to
300, surrounded the Round House of the Ala
bama and Chattanooga Railroad, in Chattanoo
ga, seized the watchman and locked him up in
the oil-room, and then proceeded to disable all
the engines therein, by removing the link
blocks.
During the day Superintendent Boss suc
ceeded in arranging a compromise with the men
by entering into a written contract with them
to run the road for twelve or fifteen days, and
agreeing to pay the hands at the end of each
trip from the money collected on the trip.
Trains will therefore run regularly between
Chattanooga and Tuscaloosa for at least that
length of time.

MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES.
Synopsis of Weather Statement.
War Dep’t, Office Chief Signal Offices,!
Washington, D. O., July 18, 7:40 P. m. j
The barometer has fallen slightly since Mon
day evening at the Rocky Mountain Stations.
It has arisen in the Middle and Eastern States,
bnt is now again falling rapidly from the Lower
Lakes to Texas, and eastward to the Atlantic
coast. An area of low barometer is now over
Lakes Huron and Ontario. The temperature
has been generally lower than on Monday, but
tho thermometer is again rising on the east At
lantic. Southeasterly winds aie now reported
from North Carolina to New Jersey, and south
westerly winds from Pennsylvania to Maine, as
also on the Gulf coast. Rainy and threatening
weather extends from Georgia to Virginia, and
westward to the Mississippi Light rain is also
reported from Minnesota to Vermont.
Probabilities: It is probable that the barom
eter will continue low in the Gnlf States, with
increasing southerly winds and rain from Lou
isiana to West Virginia, and eastward to the
Atlantic. Falling barometer with threatening
and rainy weather will probably prevail very
generally on Wednesday in the middle and east
ern States, and brisk winds from the southeast
and southwest are probable for the coast. Lo
cal rain will probably extend over Minnesota
and northern Missouri to-night.
Washington, July 18.—The Secretary of the
Treasury has approved the report of the Steam
boat Supervising Inspectors. The report covers
some four hundred pages. It increases the fa
cilities for saving life, and imposes more strin
gent rules upon the managers of steamboats.
The condition of the telegraph lines South,
forbids an elaborate abstract prepared.
New York, July 18.—In the U. S. District
Court, the Brooklyn steamer Cleopatra has been
declared forfeited to the Government for a vio
lation of the revenue laws—the act consisting
in the smuggling of $400 worth of cigars by the
employees on board. The Judge recommends
that action be taken by the Attorney General
against the parties directly concerned in the
violation of the law, as his decision only affects
the owners of the steamer.
San Francisco, July IS.—Gen. Cook, with
five companies of cavalry, fifty picked Mexicans,
and a number of tbe best native scouts, have
taken the field against the Apache Indians in
Arizona.
London, July 18.—The Queen has made the
Emperor of Brazil a Knight of the Garter.
Paris, July 18.—The Salute cites the exam
ple of the United States after the war of the re
bellion, in justification cf increased taxation.
Madrid, July 18.—Serano has proposed to
the King to decree the outlawing members of
the International Society in Spain, and recom
mends a vigorous policy on all questions of pub
lic order. Minister Scowella, on the contrary,
favors a liberal policy, as most conducive to po
litical rights and the public peace.
The Ninevah slabs at Amherst College have
finally been deciphered by one of the alumni, a
New Yorker. They have long presented un
translatable hieroglyphics to the erudite schol
ars of that college, and have been an object of
gTeat interest to the explorers of the mysterious
depths of history for many years. The transla
tion which is now suggested will be eagerly
awaited and closely criticised, for these ancient
characters probably bear within their bosom
the unraveling of many Biblical statements tot
now seem incredible.
Intemteeatz Monkeys. — In Darfonr and
Senaar, Africa, the natives make a fermented
beer of which the monkeys are passionately
fond. Aware of this the natives go to parts of
forest frequented by the monkevs, and set on
the ground calabashes full of the liquor. As
soon as the monkey sees it and tastes it, he
utters loud cries of joy, tot soon attract his
comrades. Then the orgie begins, and in a short
time they show all degrees of intoxication.
Then the negroes appear. The few monkeys
that come too late to get “ fuddled ” escape.
The drinkers are teo far gone to distrust the
negroes, but apparently take them for larger
specimens of their own species. When a negro
takes one by the hand to lead him off, the
nearest monkey wall cling to the one tot thus
finds support, and endeavor to get off also.
Another will" grasp him, and so on, until a negro
leads a staggering line of ten or fifteen monkeys.
When finally brought to the village, they are
securely caged and gradually sobered down, but
for two or three days a gradually diminishing
supply of liquor is given them, so as to re
concile them by degrees to their state of cap
tivity.
A young lady member of the choir in a church
in Lyons, N. Y., leaned too far over the galle
ries during the sermon, on Sunday, to look at a
new bonnet or something of the kind, and, los
ing ter balance, fell headlong plump upon the
head of a deacon, bounding thence into the
aisle, very much demoralized, but not seriously
hurt. Toe deacon complains of the headache.
But the singer joined in the last hymn.
The overseer of the Honse of Refuge in San
Francisco was lately induced to go down into
the new well by two of the youthfol inmates,
who complained that they could not work there
safely for want of a platform. After letting him
down, they cut the rope and decamped. The
unfortunate man was discovered and drawn np
twenty-four hours afterward “more dead than
alive."
A dandy of twenty-six having been termed
an “Old bachelor,” appealed to an elderly gen
tleman to decide whether he should be called
old or not, giving his age. “Twenty six” said
the elderly gentleman, “it is owing to how yon
take it. Now, for a man it is yoneg enough;
but for a goose it is rather old.”

PATENT EXCELSIOR COTTON GIN
F OR the past forty years I have been engaged in
tho manufacture of Cotton Gins, and have sat
to work on plantations, and have seen in operation
hundreds of Gins, and have no hesitancy in pro
nouncing this the BEST WORKING GIN I over
saw. It runs light—gins fast—does not injure the
cotton—impossible to break tbe roll—no use for
self-feeders—and no tronble to feed. Tho commit
tee at the late Bibb County Agricultural Fair, being
so well satisfied of its superiority over anything
they ever saw, awarded me tbe premium. I am
now prepared to furnish any one in want of a Gin.
A sample of Excelsior and also of the Griswold
Gin can be seen at Carliart A Card’s Hardware
Store, Macon, Ga. Send for desepriptive list.

past two years, bnt one single complaint, and not

THE WIBSHIP COTTON GIN.
Ahead of All Competition.
AWARDED TWO FIRST PREMIUMS AT STATE
FAIRS IN 1870.
A T a test of nine of the leading Gins of this
country, exhibited at tbe Cotton States Me
chanics’ and Agricultural Fair Association, held in
Augusta, in 1870, the trial resulted as follows:
Pounds
cotton. Time.
Winn’s Gin 45 saws. 135 13:30 m
Carver Gin SO saws. 150 12:20 m
Pratt Gin 45 saws. 135 12:00 m

The WiiikhipOin, - SO sans. ISO G:SO lit
Hall’s Gin and Feeder 50 saws. 150 8.40 m
The Gins were all run by a steam engine, and at
high speed. The Committee on Machinery had tbe
cotton weighed np for each Gin according to sizo,
all out of the same cotton, three pounds for each
saw. These Gins are all made alike, tor service and
durability—put up in good style in a substantial
and workmanlike manner.nnder the personal super
vision of Mr. JOHN WINSBIP, a first-class ma
chinist of more than twenty years’ practical experi
ence—giving his exclusive attention to the manu
facture and improvement of Cotton Gins. Those
wanting Gins can find them with numbers of testi
monials as to fast work—picking seeds clean, and
leaving lint in good condition, making it samplo
well. 4C, 45, 50 and 60 saws kept constantly in
stock. Price, $4 per saw.
