lively work to get op bida in time. Plans and

Tnx Old Notuxos.—It is with a regret, nn-
•oflened by tbo shade of the shadow of r.n emo

lately refuse to allow their boys to nse tbo dsn-
geroas plaything*. There is no other way to
check tbo evil, ns no one wants to see their lads
brought up before tho Mayor's Court. The
polleo ought to bo inetruclod to dostroy every
sling found in tho bonds of a boy.

A Cal r.tarj.
The hardest eat story wo over beard of was
related c.pon the street.* yesterday. It is in this
wist: There in a gentleman in this city who bos
n cat (bat is now about fourteen years old.
Kver; spring daring tbe past twelvo years that
oat Una taken sick and diod. She died as natu
ral deaths aa ever a eat died, and Is banled ont
to fnrnish n feast to tbe biida and beasts
prey. But the cat will not stay dead. Just
often as she has died and been borno out, has
sho reanseitsted and eame back again, olive and
well. This has been done for twelvo oonseea
live years, and still tbe eat is alivo and well.
Hail Ibis occurred for nine yotrs only, it might
have l<eeu accounted for by tho old theory re
spooling tho anmber of IIvch that a cat bis.
Ah it is, however, it is probable tbo animal
only bos attacks of eat alspsy.

Arrest of DeWIt* Uiarrett ns Accessory.
After the arrest of Mr. Pike Tuesday oven
log, it was ascertained (hat tho parly who was
present and board tbo interview between Pike
and Baer was Mr. DeWitt Garrett, a young
railroad man who is very well known in Macon.
It is stated that he accompaniod Pike in bis
search far Bu r, and is probably (he only man
who actually saw the shot Ared.
Judies Spriox doerood it proper to hold Mr.
Garrett as a witness €a tbe part of the State,
therefore ho required him to give bond for bis
appoarnnoo as a witness. This angered Mr.
Garrett, who was already under considerable
excitement, and he attempted to draw a pistol,
Being relieved of that bo next drew a knife
upon Bailiff Lauey, but was prevented from
using it, and was sent to jail. Yesterday a war'
taut was Issued for his arrest as accessory bo
rore (he fact of tbo killing of Baer, and is now
in jail awaiting examination. Jadgo Woems
bts boon retained in hia defense.
Public Schools—Klectiou of TV noli em.
We learn that the Connty Board of Einca
tlon elected the following teachers yesterday
Sait Jfaeon SJiooL—Principal, Walter G.
Smith.
Assistants—First, Mrs. A. A. Davis.
Second, Miss Darraugh.
Third, Miss Salllo Rogers.
4'•o'M if acta School—Principal, Henry T.
Conner.
Assistants—First, Miss Gnstin.
Second, Miss Bessie Merrill.
Third, Miss Mary Kell.
Third IFmnf School (contingent)—Principal,
J. H. Roberts.
Assistants to borriectcd.
Fourth Street School—8ister Angela.
The contingency in the case of tho Third
Ward School, is that tho people of the ward
shall provide come reasonable shelter for tbe
school; It Is ont of tho power of tho Board to
do it. Bnt if they will mako provision, they
shall have good schools—if not, they must wait
till tome can be made. Tbe Third Ward oom-
priies the whole noatheaslern corner of tbe
oily—from Washington a Venn s to the river. It
l« a wealthy section of the town, and shonld
bo able to help the Board and help themselves
in this matter.
Encounter wllti a “SnrpeBt."
When the Llnooln Guards bad their dress
parade a few days ago, while they were perform'
lng some of their evoiotions in the park, tbe
front man, who had his eyes epon the ground
a proper distance in front of him, saw a large
black snake lifting its head ont of tbe gross.
Immediately there vru executed ao evolution
that is not laid down anywhere in Upton's tac
tics. lie yelled "soaks,’’ loud enough to be
beard half way to Forsyth, and leaped about a
rod ta the air. Immediately there was a break
ing of ranks without any orders from tho cap
tain, and without the formality of stacking arms.
Had a bomb burst in the midst of the company
tbe Maturation oonld not have been greater, or
the consternation more complete. At one time
there were apprehensions of a regular Bull
Run stampede. The captain, however, was
equal to any emergaaoy, and, os ascertaining
the precise nature of the alarm, sword In hand
he made an attack upon tho enemy, and with
ono sweep of his shining blade, cleft the head
of tbe serpent, and left it to writhe and die in
tho grass. After in..: the "martial tread" was
very cautions, lest there be other "snakes in the
grass."
eli.rqnlra of Cbarlee I*. Baer.
The foncrsl servicee of Charles F. Baer took
plaoo yesterday from bis late boarding-hones,
on Mniberry street, and were attended by quite
■ a large number of people—principally Jaws. J
The remains were pieced in a very hsniaome
casket, whisk was covered with a black pall,
and on it wars hit. Odd Fellows' and Knights of
Pythias regalias.
Tho procession was formed on Mniberry
street, with the KnighU of Pythias drat, headed
by a band of moaie; next Germania Lodge cf
Odd Fellowa, then the hearse, and then a num
ber of carriages end buggies containing ladies
and gentlemen. There were thirty- four
Knights of Pythias out, and they presented a
very handsome appesTtnce in their showy uni
forms. There was only abont twenty Odd Feb
lowa in Iho procession. The pall-bearers were
selected from both orders.
"hen the procession arrived at the cemetery
the services peculiar to the Jewish faith were
first performed Urer the remains. The Odd
Fellows then went through with lheir beautiful
ceremony, after which the Knights of Pythias
passed around tbo grave and each Knight cost
therein a sprig of evergreen. This ended tbe
ceremonies, and the earth wis soon closed over
the remains of this unfortunate young man.
A Queer Objection.
The city editor of the Colnmbns Sun, evi
dently of the nnlceky ones of his race, has
the foilowing paragraph:
Watson, of the Macon Truxoiurn, objeola
to Ilia newly elected alderman of that city, L.
W. Randal, on tbe ground that be is a bachelor.
We know tbe Biblo aays a bishop shall be the
husband of one wife, and shall rule well bis
o»n household, but we never before heard that
this was required of an alderman. President
Buchanan was an. old bachelor, and Governor
Lewis, of Alabama, ta a young bachelor; to
which foot we call tbe attention of onr genial
brother local.
That is tho poores*. argument in favor of
bachelors wo over saw. While there has been
one bachelor President, (hero havo been sixteen
or seventeen who were not bachelors. While
there is one'bachelor Governor in the United
States, there are thirty-six who are married, and
who govern well became they are well governed
at home. For a genuine example of misery
commend oa to a bachelor. He is a pig without
a trough ; a hone without a bridle; a wagon
without a tongue; he is everything whioh lacks
something to oomplete it. A man doesn't work
well in life's harness nntil he has a bridal of bis
own. A man who baa had no honeymoon, is a
honeycomb which tho bees have not begnn to
fill with sweetness. Ho is an empty vinegar
barrel. He knows no more of the pleasures of
life than a babe that never sacked in any bnt
tho Eoglish laognage knows of Hebrew. Bah!
Talk abont old bachelors, all they are fit for is
to bo set np sb a warning to young men, to show
them bow mnch bettor it is to bo married and
happy than unmarried and wretched. There is
no more philosophy In being a bachelor (ban
there is in Iho carl of a pig's tail.
Ttoe «'onnty Court.
There w;s bnt ono ease before Judge Weems
yestetday. And that was against Robert John
son, eolored, charged with stealing. Tho eir-
cnmatances in this case were about as fallows.
Mr. J. F. Barfield bad been mil sing goods from
bis store, and was at some loss to account for
iboir disappearance; and it was equally diffi
cnlt to account for a cellar being open in tho
morning which was invariably closed at night
They thought, however, thst tbe beat way to
solve Iho mystery would be to watch; and they
dir] watch, and not many evenings had elapsed
before they saw Ibis boy Robert Johnson slip
into a back room of tho store and conceal him
self. When the time oame for closing tho store
they onstoil him from his hiding plseo and cap
tured him, and ho confess jd to the whole thing.
He had been in the habit of concealing himself
in that way, and when everybody had gone he
wonld help himself to what he wanted and escape
by the oellar door.
Whon bronght to (rial yosterday ho plead
gnilly, and was aentenoed to pay $30 and costs
or go to. tbe chain gang for six months. In
pronoanoing judgment Jadge Weems told him
that, in view of his plea or guilty, bo bad im
posed the very lightest penalty that ho felt au
thorized to impose. There was no nocessity
for able-bodied men like he is to go to stealing,
as there is plenty of work for everybody who
wants lo make a living. Hereafter, in all simi
lar coses, be shonld impose the fnll ponalty of
the law—twelve months in the chain-gang.
Mr. Cordell, the road contractor, was in tho
conrt-room at tho timo tho trial ended, and
took the priioner with him directly to tbe chain-
gang, (has avoiding the necessity of retnrning
him to jail.
Til© Kayor's Conrt.
His Honor, the Mayor, had fonr cases before
him yesterday morning, a majority of whioh
were up with tbo old ailment—whisky, and that
of a very mean character.
Tbe first name called was that of Gob Jon-
loois, and In responso thereto, an anborn face,
attached to a pair of shambling legs and a very
norvons body, shied np to tho bar to answer to
the charge of being drunk. The Colonel bad
not a word to say, nor wps it neoefsary that he
ahould have. His red oyes, pinky face nnd un
steady carriage, nil told more plainly than any
wards of his oonld utter, that he had been on a
drunk for about a week, and was likely to re
main so unless some means wore adopted to
to shut off, at leaat temporarily, his Bupply of
whisky. Tho Colonel is regarded aa a gone
ease, bnt the Mayor determined to give him one
more chanco to reform, hence be pat him
down for fire dollars, orjthiriy days in the park.
Five dollar bills are about as scares with the
Colonel os Jane bngr are in December, there
fore it is probable that be will perform same
manual labor pro bono pnblioo, and his own
good also.
The next name was that of a not less distin
guished mariner. Commodore T. J. Murphy,
who loves tbe sea so well that ho is never so
happy oa when he is •'half-seas-over," with two
sails in the wind and the other o-fl opping. Tbo
Commodore enjoys getling drank aa much as
any man in Macon, and be enjoys himself while
drunk to a most nnlimited extent. Notwith
standing, be is an old salt, he can give John
Barleycorn aa stout a tussle as anymsy who ever
tried it; but, as it the usual result in such
combats, the Commodore gets doored finally
and ha< to sneenmb. This last struggle has
been going an for a fortnight, and it has been
‘heated contest,” as candidates say, and
i hough Commodore Mnrpby had to yield final
ly, it can be said of him that he made a good
fight and had a jovial time while ho was at it,
and he was, in the end, not conquered, but
subdued by numbers—of drinks. When his
name was called yesterday morning, he marched
np to the desk and plead not guilty and called
for the proof. This was readily at hand, for
it is reasonable to suppose that every man in
Mtcon can bear testimony to the fact that the
Commodore has been drunk recently, though
there is aearcely one who wonld be willing to
roach for the fact that be bss been sober. The
Commodore's plea of not guilty, though made
with all the air of injured innocence and
offended dignity, did not avail him anything,
since his Honor imposed upon him a penalty of
five dollars fine, or thirty day's in the Park.
When the judgment was announced, the Com
modore folded hia arms across his breast and
sanniered back to bis seat with tho air of one
who was in a great hurry to go somewhere and
had arrived just in time to aea the train turn
ing the first enrre preparatory to going out of
sight. The Commodore and his friend the
Colonel will make a superb pair of laborera
upon tho Perk, though to them. It will proba
bly be an or j jyuient of nature under uninter
esting, not to say disadvantageous, ciroum-
atanees. '* V 11 ’ “ Jl * | T.
Miss Luay Qrick attempted to drink all the
whisky in Eut Macon Tuesday evening, and
having done ao ta a great extent, she beana-e
hilarious. In faot aba was tho happiest woman
in East Maoon, and her happiness became eo
boundless as to attxaet tho attention of officer
Fennel, who approached and warbled in her off
IT—
“Oboome, love, come, tho stars are beaming,
bnt Miss Lucy didn't coma worth a cent. Tbe
most eodcclive smiles of Feoccl oonld not win
the consent cf the coy malien. He then at
tempted to take her by force; bnt a fall grown
cel was no comparison to her as a wriggler. She
oonld squirm berseif ont of his grasp as easily
as water can ran ihrongh a sieve. .Fennel was
finally compelled to nail a dray, and, with the
assistance cf the drayman, managed to load
Miss Lucy. Fennel then mounted the dray,
and stood, a foot on either side of Miss Lucy,
like a perfect colossus of lthcdes, and as they
went to tho barracks he gently hummed that
Id familiar air
‘Ob, take your time, Miss Lucy."
Mias Lucy snoextd away vary Otsufuiiably
during the ride, and then finished her asp in
the bazTacks. Whon she eame into court yes
terday morning she was a perfect picture of the
“maiden all forlorn." Her hair am frowzy,
and her face was soiled aad bloated, and her
eyes red. Her dress ehowed more of mud than
calico, while her bare feet pattered along the
floor us ecftly os though laat yean’toil were not
upon them still, She begged to be let off, and
tried lo pump a few tears into her eyes, bnt her
effort to cry ended in a most disastrous failure.
She goes to work thirty days in the P.uk. Miss
Quick was originally intended for a white wo
man, bat art has wcfoiiy thwarted the original
design of nature.
I. -onard Carter, a amall-eized negro, went in
on Lis muscle to a considerable extent, and he
will have to pay a fine of flvo dollars, or go to
work in tho Park thirty days.
Whose Honsx n it?—On Saturday laat a
oheeinnt sorrel mare was impounded at the City
Hall, and has not yet been claimed. She was
found in tbo lower part of the city, near tbe
twamp, and had apparently broken away while
hitched, as she htd on s saddle and a broken
bridle.

with decided benefit. 1 think it is a good medi
cine for the derangement of the livor, at least
inch has been my personal experience in tbe use
of it when prepared by myself according to tho di
rections on each package thereof. When absent
from home I have in two or three instances had
the medicine prepared at a drag store, which did
najls only. The city to famish tbe brick for foan- w 0
