Arrescert in snvjtnnitli.
Yealerdaw Tip Smith, n darkey of this
place, was arrested in Savannah on a
telegram from lfr. S. A. Porter. Some
time ago he was arraigned ia the County
Court fjr the offense of carrying con
cealed weapons. The facta in tho case
were these: Ho has been driver at tbe
stables ia this city for several years. One
day he had a quarrel with a smaller dar
key by the nv.no of Ligon, a jockey rider,
aud drew his pistol oa him. The case
was not d.’.- d d and Smith was held in a
band of $10J, Mr. Porter going his eeeu-
rity. Snartly after h > left ths city. He
was heard of in Savannah and was itn-
m idiately arrested by telegraph. Mr-
K igar A. Bass, bailiff of tho County

A Duel mi the Tapis.
**lt was repotted last night,” says the

take pit:.! this evening aboat half past
six o’clock, in a secluded spot in the rear

most willing to wager it was some indis*

that there was ye.low fever within a

Context Between Apollo and
Manyait Kxcelled.
Hero I am in Atlanta again, bnt no
longer vardam. I met on the tram an
Atlanta reporter, who was returning
from a tour down our way where be had
introduced himself and lc-clared; it ap-
peara that not having been introduced
by a responsible party, tho public did
not come out m vast crowds to heer
him, nad the affair was not a snceesE:
Form no had not said to nim, closer to
my bosom come, so to speak, and ho was
returning home mind-brokee; I bongbt
his horn 'cheap, and slinging it under
my arm, paused into tho crowd thor
oughly disguised, for no Macon ma-i
over carries a horn. It was not long
before I iound a strong cheated cornet
player whom I took into a eido street
and thus addressed: “Here is five dol
lars; teach me that horn accomplishment
of yours. From the battlements of Oaa-
tlo Lofty, my faithful glass has revealed
to me a broad smile of content npon the
faces of tho people np this way; experi
ence has taught me that wbon tho At-
lanlesc smile contentedly, in the chaste
language of our father, tCere’s some
thing up. I have come up to investi
gate, bnt I mutt learn that horn busi
ness, or I shall stand no chance in this
metropolis.” His first care was to pock
et tho five dollars; then the lesson be
gan; it was short bnt comprehensive.
' Tbero are but two ways cf blowing a
horn; one is with tho small end in
your mouth, tho other is with your
mouth in tho larg i end; you need only
learn the form.r; no one up hero blows
through tho other end; it it possible you
may hear a horn blown that way, bnt not
likely. But yon must have confidence,
that is tno principle; for confidence is
tho father of cheek, and cheek makes the
horn blowor. To illustrate—do yon see
that man coming along yonilsr with his
shoo untied ? that shoe got in that con
dition in Savannah. Does ho stop to tie
it ? Not much; bo is an Atlanta mer
chant, and individually ho doe3 not con
sider himself worthy to fasten the shoe
lacbet of an Atlanta merchant. He i-
going around to get tho Governor to tio
it for him. Tne Governor is no: io par
ticular. Let’s hear what you can do in
the horn line.”
Rapidly summing up the ad
vantages of my native city, I
raised my piece on high and gave him
fine large sample. When tho strain
died away, I beheld him disappearing
in tbe dim distance, with fingers pressed
to bis ears, while on the ground before
me lay his deserted cornet. Hilarious at
my success, I raised my head, straight
ened my spine, aud walking on tho ulti
mate Thnlo of my heels, pasted over that
fatal thoroughfare, Whitehall crossing,
into tho enemy’s camp.
I had not gone far before I came upon
a orowd congregated at a corner, regaling
themselves with mellow notes of selt-
praise upon horns of various sixes. I
said to myself, (he hoar and the man
have met again. Shall tho hour get away
with the man ? Now, with a prayer to
Apollo, I approached, and tuns addressed
them :
Fellow citizens, what is the theme to
day ?”
•Moat venerable ignoramus,’’ replied
a hollow-eyed yonth, "‘you have probably
been out of town; we have purchased the
iron of the Macon Street Kailroad, and
will prooeed to lay it down between here
and Fence de Leon, the most fashionable
watering place in -”
Enough!” I exclaimed. “I cannot
ing the old songs. Tou said purchased,
I believe. Did you not give in exchange
for it the $50,000 machinery which went
down from yonr cotton mills, to assist
in running two factories in Macju?
Trumpet me a few bats on that trade,
p.ease.” Instantly eveiy horn was re
versed, and while I was shivering in ex
pectation of a perfect tornado, there ia-
-utd from them a sound that resembled
the sigh of an invalid zephyr.
“Gentlemen,” I continued, cheerfully,
“this is a Macon horn—allow me to sssit
you.” They danced before the blast of
my trumpet like leaves in the autumn
gale. “What think you,” chimed in a
pallid young man, fitting beneath an
incipient mustache the small end of his
hiru, “of a city that can give the State
*05,000 in money and bonds with which
to pay for a Capitol ?" He was just fill
ing his billows fora tune when I dropped
my hat over the end of his instrument,
exclaiming:
“Pause, my enthusiastic, bnt badly
regulated young friend; yon have no:
said bow much cf that $65,000 is lucre,
or what is the market value of those
bonds ; it may be that two dollars covers
the lucre question, aDd tbe balance is
coeds at fourteen cents on the dollar;
prodnoe yonr s. rarities young man, and
let’s go into a c iuimit.ee of the whole oa
scrutiny. Von ..re not justified in warb
ling much any way, on $65,000; Macon
gives $125,000 to each of her colleges,
and whenever n * citizens want relaxation
she clears up 1210,000 play ground for
them.” I fir 1 off my trumpet and re
sumed my hat.
“Tou spoke of cotton mills,” said a
timid, middle aged man, stepping for
ward and fingering nervously around tbe
moutb-pieoe of his horn; “We run ours by
financiering; we bay new machinery ev-
ery year, and when payment fails due we
let the levying officer ran oat the old,
while we tan in another set of machin
ery; it is cheaper than paying, and not
only gives employment to tbe hands, but
keeps tbe mills always moving. Never
pay when yon can financier.” Bamming
my hendkerohief into hia horn until I
eonld collect breath, I replied: “That is
only retail financiering, so to tpeok; w
financier by the wholesale. Oar debt is
aboat $700,000; we call in the |
old seven per cent, bonds and refund
with hands t- inn thirty years at
six i er c:nt. By this plan we shift the
-‘..I: r.p n -,nr po-vrity. while we live cn
t ne interest of it. That is not as roneh
oa the posterity ns it seems; they can re-
faad with five per cents, the next gener-,
a;ion with four per cents, and so on.
About tie timo we celebrate our second
centennial the bond3 will cease to bear in-
terejt and be ripe for a compromise at
20 cents on the collar. This plan corres-
p-.u ’s w“h tte movement in music known
as . .ucr.'.o. Never pay when you can
refund; rather v.ait the debt of the fathers
npon the eh ldren of tbe third and fourth
generation.”
I executed the aiacoato movement on
my bugle and paused for developments.
The p.ia-ie develop-.-d a weak-eyed report
er, who stepped forward with an extra
size horn, announced hia subject as “Lib-
eralitv,” and ahoultd as follows:
“All ye Memphians, come and live with
ns, bring yonr capital aud do business
here. We have room, fine climate, fine
water, no mad, e.-.'-y mooes-i, large trade
end unprecedented advantages.
Como one! Come ill! Tonr joys
-till h- our j y-. y .ur c.res sh»it l>-‘ onr
cares, your tears shall be out tears.”
•■ And eventually" I interposed, “yonr
cash -ball be oar cash. Allah b« praised!”
This, yon see, was tickling Macon in r.
place where she itched; for in the days
gone by. we had stood np for Savannah
and Brunswick wlu-n tte balaooa of their
neighbors were pretty generally weak in
tbe knees. Tbe echo of my horn on the
tn'ijec of liberality, still wanders among
the distant bills.
At this point tbe crowd took advantage
of mt; they all opened in conoert. Ye
G 1 a r . I was ioreed hack
in-t tbe wall and fairlv flattened by
the pres nre of tonrd wav. a . I eonld
. eat anatobes of Kimball, Markham,
Ponoa de Lson,tollman’, capital, $65,000,
hospitalitv. Whitehall Crossing, Ben Hill,
Railing Mills, newspapers, end so on, an
ill Ihcy all melted into one prolonged
blast tost seemed to split the ear. I did not
despair; slowly bnt surely my born came
into po.ition and began to be heard. I
gave them a medley, in which were
mingled a chant from tbe Park, short
arias from Wesleyan. Pio Nono. Mercer
and Monnt de Sa’es colleges, a pean fr_
our five railroads, a coin on public build,
■ngs, a bravma from the school system
ini the industries, descriptive songs
without words, of mignifio-iut private
dwellings, a bugle fatasn on the canal
and waterworks, and a prophetic warble
abont our garden lands iu tho swamps
I brought m a note of triumph on our
trade, our bridges and turnpike, and
ended with a glorious peal from the pro*
posed navigation of the Oimulgee.
When I opened my eyea not a human be
ing woe in view, but around me lay frag
ments of human bodies, mingled with
the wreck of s multitude of horns. My
owu instrument, which coiled up aud
pointed back over my shoulder when
UBgan, was as straight as an arrow when
I ended, and extended ahead of me fif
teen feet into the street. Joyous with
victory, I started on tho war path,
saw a head in the Constitution office
that seemed familiar; some heads
illumine with their wisdom the future
ages; this one was constructed to ilium
me the present; I gave its owner a bias:
and left him in convulsions. Passin
the Dispatch office, I dispelled ell Bense of
hnmor tr in tbe editorial corps, and leit
them uid-r both tbe table and a sense of
life’s realt ies. I went around and
jamccei a tune into the Phonograph that
was as fatal as strjchnme. I climbed
the hitherto inaccessible height of the
New Capiiol, and secured a seat upon the
should.r of the statue, “Atlanta;”
wrenching her horn from her hand,
gave one long lingering blast for Macon
that bioko and burst aud sobbed around
Stone Mountain, whose rooks split opt
and birds fell deid; this effort left me
collsp-ed patriot in the statue’s arms, too
weak for utterance, too high Btung to de
-cen t. There I remained uctil dark
when a Mouth Georgian climbed to tho
foot of the statue, and with a fishing pole
scrap.d me into the mouth of my horn,
which be bal elevated for that purpose,
Tho Macon toam was begun.
At night an Atlanta editor (and theEC
editors up here nre really pretty good
sort of fellows in their way) came around
to see tno at the hotel, nnd out of the
flood of conversation I gathered these
grains: “Your city ia all right if sho only
know it. Tho best substitute for wealth
is a horn and the power of blowing it.
You cannot all get wealth, bnt you can
get substitutes ; there is wind, and there
are themes enough in your city for all
yon only need strong lungs and firm
months to glVe voice to your industries,
and proclaim your advantages through
oat tbe Und. "When you havo secured
these, not a fcreezs will spring np there
that does not advertise yon ; tho voice of
tho orcakcr will b * lost in tbe rush of
•oaud; men of wealth will go there
public works will spring up; private in
dustries will flourish, and the desert bios-
som ns the rose. But you must all
play the same tune; there must be no
discord; practice and constant repetition
soon teach the rcconteur to believe his
own yarns; you must inflate, as it
were; every whisky drummer understands
that when he sells for inflated currency,
it is nsoe-isary to infl-iti the goods to
keep the boss’ books beslthy. This is an
ago of false vainer; when you tell a strau
pi rthat your park cost $210,000 he thinks
th-re is a $100,000 lieont. Why not say
it. cost $3-10 000 and g un instead of lasing
the doubtful $100,050? Yon should Ml
go into tbe inflation busmees. If your
mother-ia-lsw is only fifty years old, say
she is eighty; if shs is plain, say she is
tbe fac simile of Bantam's chimpanzee;
tell everybody else but her. I tell you
it oomes as eeey as sleeping after awhile,
and when yon have learned it, yon will
find than the era of prosperity already be-
gen will continue, an l yon will be able
to leave your posterity something besides
thoso bonds which ;your committee have
been scrambling after in the Senate.”
So saying my visitor rose, and taking
his gold headed oane—the badge of his
profession—drew on his kid gloves and
remarked, as he backed gracefully from
the room:
“Yes, my dear X-1. E , you’il find, as a
general rule, that
A little blowing now and then.
