Zei- ltn A Co.’s drag store, Jnly 18: 8 o’clock as 12 “ 88 C “ 92 91 BAEOSIETEB: 8 o’clock. .. .29 an 2 “ 09 an C «• M34 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. Don’t Folget these Two Facts !! That Wing it Solomon are the agents of the Grover & Baker Sewing Machines and of the L. & M. Spectacles—the best in use. We have received another large lot of those Clear Glass Goblets, at 50 centa per set. Tbumax A Gsttv The best twenty-five dollar cook stove, with the largest outfit of furniture and pipe, at B. A. Wise & Co., Cherry Street Store. Latest from Stanton’s Railroad. 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. Wing «fc Solomon, appreciating the stringency of money matters, offer their large and elegant stock of Watches, Jewelry and Silverware at lower prices than ever offered before in this city, and will make price an object to any one wanting goods in their line.

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.

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.

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.” William and Mary.—Since onr Revolution ary War, William and Alary College has had bnt three Chancellors.

MASSEY’S 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. • O.
