Ilru for tuk Nervous.—Whore is it to bo fonnd?
tries the trembling victim of nervous debility. Not
in tbs tavern dram; that fires np the circulation for
a moment, and Is euccoedod by collapse. Not in pur
suit* pills, or a Lnoten diet, hot in an invigorant
and restorative in whloh the tonie elements aro
nailed with general apenent and alterative proper
ties. When Hoetetter’a Stomach Bitters was intro
duced nearly twenty years ago, this important ob
ject was first attained. This peaceful and active
vegetable spedfie is as j ustly celobrat cd for its cures
of nervons diseases, as for tho absolute certainty
with which it relieves dyepepeia and bilioaenoes.
The hot weather toward the close of summer gono-
rally aggravates diseases of a nervous typo, creating
a degree of feebleness which Is beyond measure
dutrssaing. Under each circumstances rally the
bodfly energies with a course of Hostetter's Stouiacli
Bitten. Of all tonics, it is the most satisfactory in
its operations, and the least exciting. It braces
tho nerves up to their natural tension, but not be
yond it, so there is no reaction. It his other
properties, however, than those of a nervine, and
M a blood deparent and moderate aperient, is
utpetior to any other medicine of tho day.
Fraud, however, is on the alort. Tho celebrity
ef the original inadidno has given rise to scores of

proached a gentleman of this city the other
day, and said: “Massa Wilkins, look mo good
in do face and tell me how much whito man
yon think I is." Ho was informed that ho had,
possibly, as mnch as one-fonrth of whito blood
in his veins. “Well, Sah," said Sambo,” dat is

to mo lately, an’ it’s white as yon is. Now, Iso
gwyne to give my old woman three weeks to

Cotton Futures.—If thore is any reasonable
deduction to bo drawn from tho heavy opera
tions in “futures” in New York, doriDgthe last
two months, it is, thnt planters will be likely
to realize a fair price for their cotton this fall,
if they will not rush it on tho market too faBt,
as was evidently the case last year. But last
year a vast deal of the cotton was forced upon
the market, in order to enable the planter to
meet his warehouse acceptances and other bills
whioh were as plentiful in this market os tho
leaves of autumn. Such, however, wo are glad
to know, is not the case this year,and the planter,
03 a general rule, is left free to act with his orop
as ho pleases. And in doing so ho should bear
in mind that hundreds of thousands of hales of
cotton have lately been sold in New York, for
fntnre delivery, at from 19 to 20J cents for low
middlings—tho class, wo believe, on which such
operations are based. It is clear, therefore,
that cotton will, or ought to, rule high next fall,
or those who bought thoSo futures will lose
enormous sums of money. If, on the other
hand, pricos should rulo high, thoso who sold
may catch jessio in meeting their contracts. In
either view of tho case, it appears to ns that tho
planter holds tho tramp cards this season, if he
will play them judiciously, and he very careful
about leading them too early at the opening of
the game.

Laying (if thri Corner Stone of the Grnutl
Lodge Slavonic Hall.
On yesterday afternoon at 4 o’clock, tho cor
ner stone of the Grand Lodge Masonic Hall
now being erected in this city, on Mulberry
street, was laid with most impressivo and
solemn ceremonies by the Masonic fraternity—
M. W. Samuel Lawrence, Grand Master of
Georgia, officiating.
At the hour named the resident and visiting
Masons, in command of G. W. Gimmagc, of Tal-
botton, Grand Marshal of the State, emerged
from the Macon Lodge No. 5, escorted by St.
Omer Commandery No. 2, in full dress, and in
command of Hon. Thos. Hardeman, Jr., Cap
tain General, and formed line on Second Btreet.
the right resting on Triangular Block. There
were in line about two hundred members of the
fraternity, and in their beautiful regalia, par
ticularly that of the Sir Knights Templar, they
presented an imposing spectacle. After form
ing in line the column moved off down Cherry
street, headed by the colored brass band, to
Third street, thence to Mulberry and up that
street to the bnilding site of the new Temple,
where the column halted and tho ranks opened
in the nsnal maimer, and the Occasional Grand
Lodge, formed daring the forenoon for the pur
pose, and headed by tho Grand Master passed
through the open ranks and under a beautiful
evergreen arch erected during the day in front
of the building. Soon after the procession
arrived, and the Grand Master had taken his
position on the platform near the comer stone-
the order of exercises opened with prayer by
the Grand Chaplain of the day, Bev. W. Wat-
kin Hicks, D. D., of this city. After which the
following odo was sung by a select choir of la
dies and gentlemen, made np for the occasion,
and led at the organ by Mr. G. F. Guilford:
i
When earth’s foundation first was laid,
Twas then onr perfect laws were mado, -
By the Almighty Artist’s hand;
Established by his strict command.
CHORUS.
nail! mysterious, hail! glorious Masonry,
That makes ns great and free.
Hail! mysterious, bail! glorious Masonry,
That makes ns ever great and free,
n
As man throughout for shelter sought.
In vain from place to place to roam.
Until from heaven ho was taught
To plan, to build, to fix his home.
Cuo.—Hail, mysterious, etc.
m
Hence illustrious rose our art,
And now in beauteous piles appear;
Which shall to endless timo impart,
How worthy and how great we are.
Cno.—Hail, mysterious, etc.

Nor wo less fam’d for every tie.
By which the human thought is bound;
Love, Truth, and Friendship socially
Join all our hearts and hands around.

Onr actions, still by Virtue blest,
And to our precepts ever tine,
The world, admiring, shall request,
To learn, and our bright path pursue.
Cno—Hail, mystenons, etc.
The Grand Master then ordered the stone to
be raised in the usual form as laid down in the
Masonic chart. The stono is a very fine piece
of white marble, five feet long, by 31 feet in
width, and one foot thick and very highly
polished, on which is inscribed the following:
Grand Lodge Hall, F. A. M., erected A. L.

G. Deitz, G. W. Maxson, John Nioolson.
Jerre Fuss, Architect. John J. Cornell, Builder.
This beautiful stone is from the marble works
of Messrs. J. B. Artope & Soil, of this city.
Prayer followed the raising of the stono and
then instrumental music.
The Grand Treasurer, Joseph E. Wells, then
deposited the box containing various coins, etc.
and ihe stone was ordered to be lowered to its
place, after which the Architect reported to the
Grand Master that the stone awaited his in.
spection.
Then followed the colloquy between the
Grand Master and Grand Chaplain of tho day,
and tho presentation of the gold'and silver ves
sels, after which was sung the following ode:
L
Let there bo light, the Almighty spoko!
Refulgent streams from chaos broke,
Illnmodtlie rising earth!
Well pleas’d the great Jehovah stood;
Tno power supremo pronounced it good!
And gavo tho planets birth!
In choral numbers Masons join,
To bless and praise this light divine.
n.
Parent of light! accept onr praise!
Who ehedd’st on us thy brightest rays,
The light that fills the mind;
By choice selected, lo! we stand,
By friendship joined, a social hand!
'That lovo, to aid mankind!
In choral numbers Maeons join, eto.
HL
The widow’s tear, tho orphan s cry,
All wants onr ready hands supply,
As far as power is given;
The naked clothe, the prisoner free.
Those aro thy works, sweet Charity!
Revealed to us from heaven.
In choral numbers Masons join, etc. .
At the conclusion of tho foregoing ode the
Grand Master delivered one of tho most able,
eloquent and happily concoived addresses on
tho aims and objects of Free Masonry we ever
heard. It was listened to by the vast assembly
of ladies and citizens present in raft attention,
and we are sure there was not a true Mason
present who did not feel prond of his brother-
hood, and the noble and benevolent objects it
had in view.
The eloquent gentleman closed with thanks to
the Supreme Architect that he was permitted to
officiate in laying tho corner stone of tho Grand
Lodge of the State, and prayod that God would
spare his life to witness the completion of the
building and its dedication to tho nobla service
and purposes of Free Masonry. The following
ode was then sung and tho exercises closed with
tho benediction from the Grand Chaplain:
i.
Hail, Masonry divine!
Glory of ages shine!
Long may'at thou reign:
Where e'er thy lodges stand.
May they have great command,
And always grace tho land,
Thou art divine!
II.
Great fabrics Btili arise,
And grace the azure ekies ;
Great are thy schemes;
Thy noble orders are
Matchless, boyond compare;
No art with thee can share.
Thou art divine!
m.
Hiram, the architect.
Did all the Craft direct
How they should build.
Solomon, Israel’s king,
Did mighty blessings bring,
Which gavo ns cause to sing,
Hail, royal art!
In tho foregoing we have omitted the lan
guage as laid down in the hooks for such occa
sions, and merely reported what was done.
The gavel used on this occasion was made from
the oak tree under which Oglethorpe organized
the first Masonic Lodge of Georgia, in 1733.
Tho exercises were witnessed by a very large
concourse of citizens and were graced by the
presence of hundreds of ladies, numbers of
whom oonld not obtain positions near enough
to the stand to hear what was going on. The
exercises being over the fraternity reformed
and returned to the lodge from whenco they
started, and the vast assembly dispersed. Thus
closed the impressive and imposing ceremony
of laying the corner stone of the Grand Lodge
Masonic Hall of Georgia, a bnilding which,
when completed, will not only be a source of
pride and credit to the ancient and mystic broth
erhood that erects it, but will be an ornament
to the city of Macon and an honor to the State.

New Yobs, August 15.—It is stated on good
authority that contracts have been made with

Tho coroner’s inquest, in the Westfield boiler
explosion case, was resumed this morning.
Charles H. Haswell, engineer, said he was of
opinion that the iron of the Westfield’s boiler

the following remarkable statement: With the
present staff of ignorant engineers, he did not
see how a hydraulic test could be done away
with, but, with a body of educated engineers
there would be no necessity for such a test
"He did not consider there were more than five
intelligent engineers in the whole harbor of
New York. Wm. W. Vanderbilt, engineer, said

attack on the government for the use it had
made of the royal prorogation in tho phrehaso
question.
Gladstone replied that seeing the amount of
unfinished business before the House, he should
decline to enter upon anv controversy on tho
subject. He thought it' was a duty of the
Honse to settle, ■whether the practice so adverse
to law and fatal to the national interests.should
be continued.
Fancett denonneed the employment of the
royal warrant. He preferred a continuance of
the purchase system, rather than owe its aboli
tion to snch an abuse of prorogation.
The Attorney General defended the applica
tion of the royal prorogation in this case, but
ho added that the Queen had practically an
nounced her resolution never again to interfere.
The consolidated fund bill was introduced,
and was received with vehement cheers, as
heralding the close of the session.

The barometer has risen sUghtly since Mon
day afternoon on the Gulf coast and northward

clearing away. Easterly winds have continued
on the north Atlantic coast with a slight rise in

Southerly winds and fair weather are generaUy
reported from Virginia to Maine, bnt light local

reported from Northwestern Ohio, with south
erly winds in Michigan, and an area of low ba

this morning from Central Pennsylvania to Lake
Huron. The area of highest temperature this
afternoon extends from Tennessee to Lake Erie
and Iowa.
Probabilities: The barometer will probably
