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.

A Tebbible Temptation by Eeade. “If Reade aimed at creating a sensation he has certainly achieved that object." For sale by Bbown & Co. Bbown House Teleobaph Office.—A.tele graphic wire was being run between the Brown Honse and the magnetic telegraph office yester day, for the convenience of the numerous guests of that large and popular hotel, who frequently cannot lose the time to walk np town to send off a dispatch, before the departure of a train on which they desire to leave. - Watzbmelon Pabtt.—Wo have tho honor of an invitation from the typographical fraternity of Macon to attend a watermelon party, to be given by them at the Armory building, on to morrow (Thursday) night Wo shall endeavor to be present, as much for the novelty of the occasion, as to spend an hoar or two with a hard-working and worthy body of friends. Bio Cabbage.—Mr. Frank Whippier, family grocer on Fourth street, a few doors above the Brown Honse, gave ns a huge drum-head cab bage yesterday, a lot of which ho had jost re ceived from the North. It was something smal ler than a half barrel. _ Frank keeps lots of good things for tho table at his neat and well stocked shebang.

He is prepared to fill all orders in short order and on lower terms than ho can afford when the railroads aro blocked wiih freight and after the active busi ness season and cold weather have set in. Hence now ia the time to lay in your supply of coal for the winter. ptai25tf CASH ORDERS SOLICITED. Willingham & Lawton.—These gentlemen again appear in our columns,- though their names are liko household words in Georgia. If experience, capital, energy and business capacity can avail aaght, they must do an im mense business tho ensuing season. As factors they are ready to receive and sell cotton and all kind of produce to the best ad vantage, and aro prepared to mako liberal ad vances to planters when needed. Give them the trial they ask for. Unhappt.—A colcied loyal Benedict ap 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 all I want to know, kaso I had a daughter born to mo lately, an’ it’s white as yon is. Now, Iso gwyne to give my old woman three weeks to tnrn dat chile black, and ef she don’t do it, I quits her on do spot! I oint no fool, ef I is a niggah.” 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. Anotheb orate of thoso fit?o Northern Cab bage, jnst received at S. T. & B. T.JWalker’s, 88 Cherry street. A TxnninLE Temptation.—A late novel of the above title, by Charlos Reade,has beon cre ating some excitement in the literary world, and has been severely criticised by many. Now it is not onr intention to criticise the merits or demerits of this work, bnt to show np a ter rible temptation to which wo are subjected every day, and one that bnt few can resist, and that is to pass Zeilin & Co.’s comer without taking a glass of that ioe cream soda water.

Work upon the most intricate and difficult watches executed and guaranteed by Mr. H. Peacock, a practical and scientific watchmaker, for Beveral years past with Mr. L. H. Wing. A new side drum has been introduced in Eng land, one of them having been offered as a prize at a recent volunteer encampment. It is of en tirely new construction, having only one head, whioh, instead of being of parchment or vel lum, is made of thin steel, and is beaten by sticks with India-rnbber tops. The advantages claimed are that the head is practically unaf fected by damp or changes of temperature, is practically indestructible, and can bo tuned more simply than the ordinary drum. A man climbing a liberty pole at Fort Leav enworth got hitched near the top, and it was six hours before they got him down. 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. IV 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. Cno.—Hail, mysterious, etc. v 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. 587L Samuel Lawrence, G. M. Building Com mittee : Geo. W. Adams, Joseph E. Wells, John 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 one of the great railroad contractors of the West for the entire construction of the Mobile and Northwestern Railroad, to be completed in two years. Tho consummation only depends on the full amount expected by tho company being voted by the counties in Mississippi.

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 was not of tho proper description.

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. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL MIDNIGHT DISPAT CHEN. Dally Review or tUe Market.
