Masohim —The Griffin Star has the following with reference to the death of thia gentleman, a brief notice of which ead event appeared in onr columns on Friday morning. Captain John C. Maugham died at his resi dence, in this city, yesterday morning, at 0 o’clock, aged seventy six. He died of a para- Ivtic at rote, and hia Ulneea was very brief. O.oiain M-ngham waa one of the first MtfM cf Grifiia, of Urge toffaence and very high character. He was a native of Baldwin county. Georg a. atd a full-blooded Georgian by birth and feeliog. Ho waa an cflioer in the armv of t.in jj e v as * long time a resident of /ob i-on previous to hia removal bets, where be kept a hotel and waa engaged in planting. Coming to Urifffa at ita firat tttUement, he built the principal hotel here and kept it up until within the pest few years. As a mwtet hotelkeeper, a great wit and thorough gentle- man cf the old school, he was widely known throughout the country and nnlveraally popu lar. Up to a few days before hie death, be waa natively engaged with hia farming intereMs; and, apparently, bid fair to live twenty years longer. Deceased leaves one daughter and three eons, ail settled in life. Two of the lat ter were gallant offleera of tha Confederate ar my.

BdUort Telegraph and Meucnjcr: Every, body la expected to nndentand his own busi ness beat, bnt experienoe teaches useful lessons sometimes which should ba heeded, especially In the prosecution of new projects. I suppose it is oonoeded that the street railroad in Maoon is not a success either as an Investment or as a convenience, in an extended sense, and it is to be hoped that when the owners get tired of tbe experiment into whiuh they ware origlcslly led of going into the woods at either end of their line, looking for patronage and finding bnt little, while two large existing oommnni ties, Just as eaally reached, were utterly ig nored, they wlU be in a position to look the sit uation squarely in the faoe, think of retrieving their steps, perhaps, and take advantage of what Providence hei provided for them in the shape of four or five thousand suburbans who are ready to meet them ticket In hand, anxious, ready and willing to beoome permanent patrons, not from ohoios merely bnt from necessity. If the directory will try to connect Yineville and South Maoon wilh their lines, and make them atralgbter, eo that a man to a hurry would make nothing by walking, they would certainly do better and make their can a conven'.enoe in deed. So at least it seems to Ax Outsides. A Pauper Billionaire. J. P. Hanbest, Eiq., of Philadelphia, entered the profession of law nearly thirty years sgo, with the determination to accumnlate a large fortune. He obtained his wish. He died a few days nines, leaving an estate of about $1,000,000, a very handsome figure, for one- fourth of which tbe majority of lawyers would be willing to abandon the noble profession, with ita briefs and dasty records, its calf skin libraries and the painful “vigils of twenty years.” It is not very dear to wbat way the deceased millionaire attorney contrived to ex tract eDjoyment from the use of his money. He was a firsbolass shyster, and ohased money as if it were the chief good in the universe. His clients were of the poorest snd lowest claas, and he never touched a case unless his fees were paid in advanoe, or a bond given him that made them perfectly saenre. He purchased a large amount of real estate, bnt reserved for himself only one room, whioh waa his bed-ohamber, dining-room and law office. In a oertain anit it happened that several prominent lawyers of Philadelphii had to have a conference wilh Hanbest at bis room, where they found him sitting at his desk with a mass of papeia before him, a chicken pot-pie in a basin on his lsp, from whioh he picked ont tho tit bits with bis fingers, and then deposited the bones on tbe floor at his side along with the scraps of his previous meals. Finally tbe poor wretoh was stricken with parslyeis to his limbs. His heart had been paralyzed long before. All he could now do waa to lie in hia bare and car- petleas room like a bloated spider, watching his prey, in tbe shape of an occasional client. Not friend was by him to minister to hia wants nor console him. Ho was destitute cf the com monest comforts of the sickroom. He tried to make a will, leaving a few email bequests to hia eistera and brother and then endeavored to pur chase a ticket to heaven by bequeathing the bulk of his property to charitable institutions. As he died a fvw days afterward the will did not meet the requirements of the Pennsylvania law to regard to time, which renders nail and void the pnblio bequests cf a will executed within one calendar month af tho decease i.l intended became inoperative, and the entire estate will be divided among the children of two deceased brothers, the living brother and the two sisters. His wealth thns at last will go to some of the very persons whom he hoped to ont off from its benefits. So ended the in cessant, painful and cheerless toils of thirty years. The reanlt conld not have been moro worthless by any contrivance of human inge nuity.—Couritr-Journal. Polifeneas la Parliament. London Correspondence New York Timea-l Tho House of Commons has not been show ing to mnch advantage lately. I told you how the young Duke or St. Aibans was to be called to aeoonnt by the Duke of EJinbnrgh for hav ing at a pnblio dinner dinner claimed the Queen sb a Liberal. It was & silly thing to ssv, but it was hardly worth while to trouble the Hunse of Lords about it. If that body were to occupy itself with every silly observation made by any of its members to any part of tho country, it would soon have enough to do. However, the elder Duke tackled the youthful one. and got rather a rough answer for his pains. The Dnke of St. Albans quoted an authority for hie state ment that Lord Melbourne had trained the Queen as a Liberal, and then observed that be had taken care to fortify himaelf with this extrsot beforehand, beoause, like the American carpenter who gave a singu larly minute answer to a question of meas urement, “ho thought very likely some fool might ask the question.” Upon whioh the Duke of Kiohmond. leader of the great Conservative jarty in the House of Lords, and brothsr-in- aw of the Queen’s brother-in-law, protested loudly egainat being called a foot, and there was mnch commotion among the solemn memborB of that stately assembly. It was remarked that the Marquis of Salisbury had, only a few nights before, deolared that there were two per oent. of fools in each House of Parliament as wall ai among the clergy of the Cbnrch of England. A few nights later tho grave and meek Areh- biabop of Canterbury wai eanght tripping in a similar way, for ha accused an eminent member of the Honae of Commons of rnshing in where wise men feared to tread. Perhaps tbe hot weather had something to do wilh these out breaks in the golden ohamber. The Japanese Revolt. Japan correspondence states that a eerions outbreak had taken plaoe at Fukuoka, in tbe provinoe of Teikusen. On the 2lst of J ana ten thousand men, armed with bamboo speara, as sisted by tbe former daimio retainers, attacked tbe government oaatle at Fukuoka. They read ily effected an entranse, set fire to the building and destroyed all official books and papers. Six officers were killed, and four are said to have died by their own hand:. Three offioera only esosped and ftod to L>ga, six miles from Nagasaki. The telegraph line completed from Nagasaki to Taikoaen ha§ been completely de stroyed. The houses of all the Inhabitants of Haksta, who refused to join tho to«urgents, were burned on the 21st of Jnne. But little blood has been Bhed so far. Bioh merchants and native banks are plundered of all money that can be fonnd. Arising of some thirty thoniand men ii re ported at Awamorikan, and another at MatsmaL The cause of the rising is said to be the heavy taxation. The rebels demand the following con cessions : First, a return to tha old plan, restor ing to deimioa their land Incomes. Second, that offiuera of a district ahall be appointed from among the Inhabitant! of the district, and not from distant Ken. Third, the incomes of all property of tho Samourai ahall be returned Fourth, that taxes shall be rednoed one-half for the apace of three yean. Fifth, that tbe government shall eeaso cutting down trees in surrounding districts. Sixth, a return to the old Japanese ealendsr. Some of the demands are impractioable. The rebellion is spreading, having broken out in several places. A Taisicxsnxrrii.

Bow Sambo waa Said by “De Bara*” A Washington letter aaya: “The investiga tion of the irregularities in the aoeonnts of t£e bureau of freedmen and refugees is being con tinued with a view to the commencement of proceedings, if warranted by the disclosures, at the earliest moment. Against some of the regularly kept aoeonnts, in whioh the greatest precision is observed, it is fonnd that the moat serious allegations are mads. A prominent effiuer of the army, speaking about thia pecu liarity, remarked that it reminded him of a case of an annuity granted to a little band of Crow Indians. Sums years ago, Government, by treaty with the band, stipulated under certain conditions to pay them ten thousand dollars year for seven years. An agent waa appoint ed, the money was paid by the Government, and vonehers were signed, accompanied by sundry aboriginal hieroglyphics representing snapping turtles and small figures. The acoonnts were very profosely complimented for their accuracy amd regularity. The seven years elapsed and tka seventy thousand dollars had been paid and accounted for when it was discovered, through the uneasiness of the tribe at the bad faith of tha government, that the Indians had not received a oent This was the wsy be Imagined with the negroes. They had no idea of the quantity of money ooming to tbsm. It must be from eighty to two hundred dollars for bounty and arrearages of pay. The lists were sent ont, and dishonest agents, taking advantage of the ignorance of the negroes, kept tbe amonnt secret, and for five or ten dollars got their marks, duly wit- netted. The negroes are finding out the trick and are beginning to clamor for redress. But the government has its vonehers, and the ac- oonnts are all right and in good order, and therefore, pnctioally, owes them nothing. These investigations are more perplexing than at firat snppoaed. The regular accounts to some cases are in as mnch or more doubt than the irregular ones.” Deadly Fan. A tourist gives the following psrtienlara con cerning the railroad np Meant Washington. He iys: “Not the least wonderfal thing abont it is that men slide the whole length of it, three miles, upon a single board about four feet long, oalled a ’sled,’ fitted to rnn upon the centre or cog rail, and controlled by hand brakes at the sides. On Enoh a flimsy contrivanoe as this the trip Is made la seven minutes, and for a part of the way a speed of sixty miles an honr has been attained. Shonld anything give way, or a pebble get upon the rail, or the man's nerve fail him, tbe mad ride must end in rare destruction, as, indeed it did only Inal spring, for a young man oonneoted with the signal station here. Two of them were going down at the same time, a few hun dred feet apart. On one of tbo steepest slopes the man behind, tbrongh fatigue or fright, lost control of hts board, and rushed down upon the man to front at a frightful speed, sbonting to him to clear the way. InBtesd of straining every norve to keep the lead in a race lik9 this for life or death, where there was no such thing as passing, the latter attempted to hold np. One of hia brakes gavo way, his board slewed, he struck a sleeper, bounded twelve or fifteen feet in the air, and fell a msugled, bleeding mass, which rolled many yards down the moan- tain before it finally stopped. Strange to Bay, his companion, who bad been tbe unintentional cause of the Sooident, reached the foot in safety.” Two Romances. There has been a bit of romance in the life of the Hon. William Allen, whom tha Straigbont Democrats of Ohio have nominated for Gov ernor, and it involves another. The Columbus State Journal tells the two stories thus: At the beginning of the political campaign of 1S30, hen Allen was nominated for Congress by the Demoonts, and McArthur, the Whig Governor, was a candidate for re-election, Allen was the lover of HeArtbnr*s daughter, and between them there was an engsgement to be married. Bnt it ia aaid that after McArthur's defeat, the Governor broke off the matrimonial engage ment, and the lady married a Kentnoky gentle man, who died before tbe expiration of Allen’s term I> the Honse. Gov. McArthur died abont the same time. At this point oomes in another little romance. A gentleman, who waa an nltra Democrat, and a great admirer of tbe then riH- daughter, wun, utM *« ow-i-—. - married a Whig. In making hia will, the old gentleman disposed of tbe property in saoh a way that tbe Whig husband could not aeqaire title in IL This lady also became a widow; she afterward met Allen G. Thurman, and ia now Mrs. Senator Thurman. It was at the wedding Jadge Thnrman that Mr. Allen again met Mies MoArthur (by this time the widow of the Kentnoky gentleman). The old love was re* r.ewed; they were married, and lived happily together until the death of Mrs. Allen, which occurred before the ezoiration of Mr. Allen’a Senatorial term. Mr. Allen has since been a widower. Cotton Wonacj is Alabama—Tbe Mont gomery Advertisor of Friday eiys: The worm is more destructive where not checked by Peris* green than ever before known.
