Meat.
Tho meat market yesterday was quite

motion among the brokers and dealers in
tho city. The market advanced in the
West, and a consequent increase in prices
prevailed in this city. Several of onr
prominent business man unloaded their
purchases at handsome profits. Onr busi
ness men say there has been more meat

Frsttr Things and Blank Books Terr

Ed Irvine, who is so ingenious and
obliging, has on hand a large and com
plete number of blank books, from the
most ponderous and etroagly bound ledg
ers to the tiniest memorandum book,
which ore peculiarly adapted to the wants
of the m. rcanltlo public. As to prices,
he cannot be undersold, and we bespeak
for him ns a most deserving and indus
trious ycuug merchant, a liberal share of
pub’ic patronige. Ed is well supplied
also, with school books, slates, (pencils,
fancy^ond badness stationary, picture
frames, window fixtures and a general
stock of everything iu his line. Furni
ture repaired and varnished with dispatch
likewise. Don’t forget him.
strike Among (be Newsboys.
For the past few days there has been
trouble in the camp of the newsboys.
They felt that their rights were being
invaded, and accordingly formed a league
among themselves and struck. Idly
yesterday morning they sat on the curb
stones and loose boxes about the streets,
the personification of youthful Othelioe,
whoso occupations had vanished and left
not a rack behind. Toe causo of it all
was about as follows:
A few <Uy»| since Mr. I. K. Roj.tl
wished to establish in the city a news
depot for the selling of not only tho
Tst.t<iBAFH A3D McasanoxB, but other
leading papers of the State and elsewhere,
and also to supply many in the city in
pirta not often visited by the little news
venders. He accordingly purchased the
city eolea of this paper and proceeded to
put hisenterpriaainto operation. Heat
once became a middle-man and must have
the middle-man’s profit, and accordingly
offered the newsboys a cent apiece on sll
papers sold by them.
Tho custom boa been for the newsboys
to purchase thair papers direotly from the
business office of the paper, psyiog two
and a half cents eaeh and selling them
for five cents. As a business speculation
they oould not see Mr. Royal’s offer, and
ao ooncladcd that they would not aot for
him. Some ooutinued for two days, but
threats and entreaties intimidated ail
into the strike, and yesterdoy not a copy
of the Txi.e3bath wos sold on the streets.
Not a boy would touch them, and the
lesguoM remained firm. The result is
the boys are viatorions, and the lalo of
papers wil! go on in the old routinoand
the newsboys will roap their former har
vest of nickels in the old fashioned way
before tho oven tenor of events was
broken. /

The Kindergarten system, made fa
mous by the works and advocacy of
Frcebel, is gradually being introduced
into this country. It is taking quite a
prominent place in the educational sys
tem of New England and the North gen
erally, whilo in the West, in some of tho
cities, the system has been incorporated
into that of the public education and be
come a part of the regular coarse. Tbii
is the case in St. Lonis, whose educa
tional arrangements in the way of public
schools are about os complete as almost
any city on the continent. Tho plan here
has been found to work admirably. In
Macon, a few months since, somo gentio-
men concluded to establish a Kindergar
ten school, and had erected on Orange
street, almost under tho shadow of the
Wesleyan Female College, a neat little
cottage, in which the school was to
be tinght. Hero the little ones of too
tender an age to be sent to the pnblio
schoola are imbned with the prinoiplea of
an education and the minil ia prepared
for greater things which are to oome in
tho years whioh shall follow. Objeot
teaching, whioh constitutes the principal
feature of the system, has many charms
for the littio folks, and the progross is
said to be rapid under snoh instruction.
The friends of it olaim that thia is the
very best method or training tbs infant
mind.
To-morrow morning tho school will be
again opened and will be in charge of
Miss Anna E. Mills, of Atlanta. Ar
rangements .have been perfected and a
sufficient number of pnpils have been se
cured to keep the school in operatien un
til next summer at least. It ia not, how
ever, foil. Children are received from
tho ages of three and a half to six yeare
of age. No more interesting sight oan
be witnessed than one of these aohoola of
littio children in full operation. The sys
tem is one of tho refinements of educa
tion and we know of no city m which it
should prosper more than in Macon, be
ing noted for her educational advantages
andfavored as she is.with tho greatest fa
cilities for giving flninBhed instructions
to all. We hope tha Kindergarten may
thrive in onr midst.
Death of a Well-Known I.adT.
Yesterday tho sad newB was received of
the death of Mrs. Dr. J. H. Bill, net Miss
Eleanor Wallen, reoently of New York
city, a daughter of Mrs. Mary R. Wallen
and a fond relative of Mrs. John T.
Boifenillet and family of Macon. Mrs.
Bill died suddenly of heart disease, while
on a visit to her uncle, General Henry
Wallen, U. 8. A., at Englewood, New
Jersey, on tho Hudson river.
Sho passed tho first years of her child
hood in thia city, but subsequently wen*
North, where she married. She was well
known in this city, having spent last and
previous winters here with her relations.
Mrs. Bill was distinguished for her great
beaaty, queenly manners, charity of
heart and loveliness of Christian charac
ter. She was an Episcopalian by profes
sion of faith. Sho leaves a husband and
one son, a bright lad of somo fourteen
summers. Oar sympathies are extended
to tho relatives in this, their hoar of deep
sorrow.
THE COLLEGE CASE.
The Injunction Cate.—The nearing
Will be Postponed.
The case of the injnnotion against the
collection of the lioense tax. appointed
for a hearing on the 12th int, remains in
statu quo and no new steps are being
taken by either side. On Wednesday next
the case was (o have coma np, bnt it ia
probable tho hearing will be postponed
until to-morrow week.
Arrangements bad been made to have
a hearing bofore Jndge Crisp of the
Southwestern Circuit. This, however,
could not be effected by the law. Jndge
Simmone, who is in this Circuit, and
expects to be at that time, is ia no
way disqualified. The only way by which
Jadgo Orisp csul J bo able to serve wonld
be by the consent of the parties at in
terest.
The oonnael on both aides had a consul
tation yesterday and this consent was
given, and the advantages either might
have without it waived. The case was then
arranged for the time mentioned above,
and Judge Crisp will more than likely be
the presiding jadge.

Both Bides or the Matter—Legal |
Steps.
There was considerable talk in the city
yesterday over an unfortunate occurrence
which took place the evening before, in
which a Mercer student and several
young men of the city were prominent
actors. We have endeavored to obtain
l!.i f . t- in the ex-e, but. a- := generally
to be acen, the versions of each side differ
widely.
It s ema that Mr. Cheney, a student
of the college, and a divinity student, had
escorted a yenng lady to tho Mother
Goose entertainment, and while there
and after the entertainment he was made
the victim of indignities of more or less
gravamen. His version of the affair is
bi follows:
The lowtf portion of Ralston Hall be
ing crowded, he took the young lady in
to the gallery. Here, while ho was look
ing at the performance, hia hat was taken
away. He thought it was a joke, and
that it certainly would be returned. He
was, however, forced to eeoort his lady
home bareheaded. He remained at her
home about a half an hour, nnd having
precurred a bat, started toward the Col
lege.
As he came oat of the gate fonr young
men whom he recognized as the same
who had Ukenlhis hat, were waiting for
him. He took Cotton Avenue, and along
tho route many bricks, rocks and such
mtsallca were thrown at, him, none of
them striking him. but falling in disa
greeable proximity to and all aronnd
him. He was at length stopped and or
dered to lay down his umbrella and
march off from it. He obeyed.
His pursuers then took possession of it.
•He wsb ordered to give np hia watch,
which he did, but it was afterward re
turned. His money was also demanded,
but waa not taken. He was followed
until he reached the residence of Mr.
Blake, when ho atlompted to cross to a
house on Orange street where some fel
low-stndentB wero bosading, hopmg by
this way to get off ; bnt as ho went to
cross the street a pistol wsb presented at
his body several times, and he waa order
ed to atop, which ho did in great personal
fear of violence. Two of the four were
disguised by having handkerohiefa tied
over thoir laces jnst below the eyes.
Finally he reaohed Roberta’ corner, and
b6to the approach of footsteps caused the
party to retire, and be in company with a
gentleman and a fellow-stndeut, who
joined him soon after, went on ont toward
tho** University unmolested. Ho fre-
qnently begged his tormentors to desist,
assuring them that he wsb a peaceful
man, and that he did not want a diffi
culty.
The other parties say that one of them
lost bis hat at Ralston Hall and suspected
Mr; Cheney of having it. They followed
at a respeotfnl distanoe behind him and
waited nntil came ont from the lady’s
residenoe. When he came ont one of them
asked him rather exoitedly to give him
back his hat and tbat ho appeared so
frightened that they concluded to have
some sport ont of him. They say tho
pistol was nothing bnt an old umbrella
handle with a spring, and that
they made him show tho timo of
night with hia watob. Many of the other
incidents charged against them they deny,
and deny also any serious desire to insult
the young man.
Tho case was reported to the Chief of
Police after ten o’clock yesterday, too
late for an investigation before Mayor
Hnff, who simply continued tho case, and
Chief Adams promptly bod sll the neces
sary paper? served on the parties.
The matter was then taken before the
Connty Conrt and warrants taken out*
Tho fonr charged with the offence of an
ossanlt wore arrested and brought before
Judge Holt nnd required to give bon# in
tho sum of $10C. Against one of the
parties an additional warrant waa taken
and an additional bond of $100 required.
The cases have been set for to-morrow
morning at 10 o'clock, in the County
Court zoom, and the trial is likely to
take place at that time.
Messrs. Hill & Harris and Mr. A.
Proud fit will represent the prosecution,
and Mr. R. W. Patterson tho defense.
The whole oconrrenoe is to be greatly
deplored, as it is of the utmost import
ance that the good feeling hitherto exist
ing between the young gentlemen of the
College and tho city snoald be perpetn-
alij preserved.
• Dlpolemaey.
The Warde Barrymore party, which
plays in Mason on next Wednesday eve
ning, the 12th instant, oomo3 highly re
commended by the press. Mr. Barry
more is one of the handsomest men on
the stage, and tho play is one of strong
interest. The following notice from
the Philadelphia Ledger, will give au idea
of the play and pressntation: “Thia is
one of the most powerful of the author's
works. Sardon has given ua many plays,
bnt none so interesting as that of Diplo
macy. From the first act to the last the
interest increases. The plot is strong
and well woven, and it was -well present
ed. Both the play and the company
were well appreciated by the audience.
This was attested by the fact tbat at tho
end of each act the performers were call
ed before the curtain, and once daring
the play they were obliged to respond to
two calls.
The plot of the pieoe turns npon the
nnsaocessfal attempts of a woman,
who ii desperately in love, to turn
the affections of the man she loves from
tho lady he has married. There are sev
eral fine scenes in tha play for every one
of the characters. The piece is not writ
ten to give all the good points to one, bat
each shares in the puts. The acting of
John Drew, Manrioe Barrymore, B. C.
Porter and II. Eees Davies wa3 excellent,
that of the former especially. Ellen
Oummeje, made a good impression, the
Italian accent of herself and hnsbind
adding to rather than detracting from the
performance. Miss Josephine Baker,who
took the partof the injured wife, was all
tbat coaid be asked nf her; In fact every
part was well cast. The dressing of the
ladies was superb, each one appearing in
several elegant costumes daring the play.
A more satisfied and pleased audience
never left the theatre.
Brevities.
A gnn was discharged in the alley in
the rear of the Lanier House, last even
ing about seven o’clock, and created some
little excitement in that locality.
The sole of seats for “Diplomacy” will
commence at Bnrr Brown's bookstore to
morrow morning at nine o’clock.
There are eight rauaioians ia the Wil-
heimj party.
There were nearly a thousand people
in the Mother Goose audience by actual
count of tickets on Friday evening, and
$28S.S0 were realized. The Matinee took
in fSS.
Tramps are not os numerous in the
city cow as they were a few weeks post.
The arrest of the crowd a week or tw*
since has had a good effect in making
these itinerant gentlemen steer clear of
this city. They are said to be quite
numerous along the lines of railroad.
A Bald on ihe Colored Gamed***
Thi3 morning at a quarter past 6rc^
o’clock a detachment of tbe paiice f JX-e.
headed by Lieutenants Well* and Grace,
raided several of tbe places on Fourth
street where gambling was suspected.^
They succeeded in captnring teu N
males and two females in the establish
ment of Bsrt Carter, busily engaged in
handling the cards, and the parties were 1
taken to the barracks and famished with
summonses to appear before his Honor
on Monday morning. At ono place where
the officers knocked, the lights were
brightly burning and the suppressed hum
of conversation oonld be beard within.
When tho door was opened, the lights
had gone out and a slumber like unto that
which fell upon the Ssveu Sleepers fell
on the iumates, the greatest exertion be
ing necessary Id rouse them.
The way tbe raid came abont, Depnly
Sheriff Weetoott and Mr. Edgar Ross, of
tbe Connty Conrt, were searching for
some parties against whom they held
warrants. The arresting party oonaisted
of Lieutenants Wells and Graoe, and
Officers Mnrpby, Wood, Adair and Cro
nin.
.Mother Goose Matinee.
Notwithstanding that the impression
prevailed with many that everybody in
the city who ever attended entertain
ments were present on Friday evening
to witness tbe Mother Gooso exhibition,
a large mitince audience assembled yes
terday afternoon to see Mother Goose
and her nnmerons progeny. The attend
ance was most gratifying to the manage
ment. The programme of the evening
previous was obsexved in its entirety,
with a few minor exceptions. In the
“Ten Little Indian’ scene bnt eight war
riors appeared, two of them, presumably
•‘Hole-in-the-Day” and “Scalp-Lifter,”
being absent. It U to bo regretted that
the Indian epidemic prevailed among
these civilized Indians.
The matinee passed off very nicely.
Both entertainments were well rounded
with sweet and appropriate music
from Kessler’s Orchestra.

Tho appearanoo of the great violinist,
Wilhelmj, who is traveling under Mr,
John T. Ford’s management, will be
qaito an event with tho mnsio loveis of
the city. He stands in tbe very front
rank of the musicians of the day. The
attendance on his recital on to-morrow
evening j.will be quite large. In Ms.
con are many who keenly appreciate tbe
truly attistio in the great art of mnsic.
From the Boston Traveller the following
very flattering notioe is taken: “The
olaim of Herr August Wilhelmj to be the
first of living violinists is oonoeded by
calm and unsympathetic Boston. His
snooc-ss was instantaneous and complete,
and hia victory wob ail tbe more sublime
that it was won, not throngh auy trick or
artifice, bnt through tho trinmpb of bis
gieat genius and his complete mastery
over his instrument.
A description of tho marvelous tones,
vibrating to a degree wo have covor heard
equalled, wonld be impossible—the great
eat mind in his art that has ever visited
these shores.
Ho carried the audience, ariticnl ns it
was cnitivated, by storm. It amonntod
to positive inspiration, and Wilhelmj was
rewarded by an ovation wbiob showed that
his auditors were not only sympathetic
bnt appreciative to an enthn3iastio de
gree. Nothing coaid have been finer.
His power never soemed to be taxed to its
utmost. In fact, he was always more
than equal to the demands, and ono conld
not fail to notioe tbat ho seemed oapablo
of something even boycndjtho limits to
whioh bis genina was coxfined.

Cuturert, February C, 1879.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger:
Dr. Alexander L. Hamilton, President
of Andrew Female College, waa married
this evening at A o'clock, in the college
chapel, by the Ksv. Howard McGehoe, to
Miss Eadora A. Moore, a member of his
faculty and graduate of the college under
him in 18G9. The female teacnera and
the senior class,about twenty.were attend
ants. They entered the hall by pairs, to
the sound of sweet music on-the piano by
Mrs. Russell, each pair separating to the
right and left, until it came to the bride
and groom, who stood together in tho
center. The marriage ceremony by the
reverend clergyman was short and im-
Dressive. At its cloao, while all were
ntsnding. Prof. Beardsley stepped forward
and nncovered a silver tea set in front of
the bridal pair, and made a handsome
presentation speech in behalf of the fac
ulty, the donors.
Dr. Hamilton, with his bride leaning on
his arm, responded iaja short bat feeling
and eloquent speech. At its close, the
attendants, under mnsio, filed ont in the
same order they had entered, and
the large audienoe dispersed in a
good humor, feeling that the Doctor,who
has long needed just snob a charming
woman, has a new lease of happiness;
and that Andrew College, although dis
placed, as his bride, bnt not in his affec
tions, has a new lease of popnlarity and
prosperity.
Tne Dootor is exceedingly popular with
all clasaess of our people. Bat thero was
one thins lacking. Now all the clouds
are dispersed. And now from snn-np to
sne-down we ail look for joy and sunshine
and wish them long life and posperity.

smell of Cod Liver Oil is almost proverbiaL It
seems to be peculiarly nauseous to the con.
lumptive and scrofulous patients, to whom the
whole medical procession know it is specially
beneficial. Endeavors have vainly boon made
to disguise its objectionable characteristics, by
mixture with coffee, brandy, or by the process
of deoderization, which impairs its efficacy as a
nutrient.
But in union with the Hypophosphites ol
Lime and Soda, as we find it in Scott's Emul
sion, it retains its healing and nourishina
properties.
It moreover combines with tbe other agents,
to produce not only a medicine of agreeable fla
vor, but ono of tbe most powerful and pleasant
tonics that ever gave vital vigor to tho nerves
and brain. feba lw

Common Sense Reasoning,
r ! is a self-evident proposition that ono ounce
of metal requires ono ounce ol power to move
it, and that thero is doublo tho friction m a later
al or siido motion than there is in a rotary or
revolving motion. Now apply these facts to
Sewing Machines and note tho result. The
average speed of a Shnttlo Machino is say *00
stitches per minute, and the average weight of
the shuttle ono ounce, requiring a forward and
hack motion to tho single stitch, or 800 onnccs
of power per minnte.and, at 8 hours to the day,
you have *8.000 ounces, or about two tons of pow
er per hour, and 16 tons per day to drive the
shuttle alone. Now add to this.one-third more
ot power for the motion, which Is alow estimate,
and you will have 211 2 tons of power per day of
8 hoars to drivo any Shuttle Machine. The
Wheeler A Wilson, having no shuttle, and its
motive power entire, being rotary or revslring,
with but two bearings, saves to the oporatorthe
immenso strain of 16 tons per day, or 2 tons per
Ihour, and can be operated in consequence ol
that fact to five times the speed of any other
machine. Call andexsraine this Champion Ma
