Iteappearance ot ConkiiDg
Conksing made a sndden break into
daylight yesterday aa temporary chair
man of the New York Republican con
vention. Whether that appointment was
a genuine exhibition of his personal
strength in the party and of the oonfi
d'-nce and esteem he still holds in its
rrp re ten's throe of the oldest *********** * * ranks, or whether it was only a bundle of
tin* section of Georgia and for many years \ ..... .. .
straw to soften his fall, may well be
qaeetion. The solution will come in the
progress of the convention.
According to Borne New York and Phil
adelphia papers the personal enemies of
Conkling are gathering in force, and
bitterly determined on shoving him aside
as the leader of party politics in the Em
pire State. His man for Governor
Cornell, and it was a set purpose to beat
Cornell. The last snggestion of a substi
lute we have seen was Hamilton Fish
Secretary of 8tate in the Grant adminis
tration.
Conkling's speech on taking the chair
was a singularly coarse and brutal mis
representation of the Democratic party-
such as no fair man, however bigoted
and prejudiced, oould possibly make.
It is evidently the offspring of a fell
and desperate mood. It is a concentra
tion ef repressed fury. No doubt the
man is angry with all mankind. A fool
conscience and the exposure of his ter
rible escapade has been like pouring
molten lead through the marrow of his
self*conceit; but the first available oc
casion to let loose his howling rage and
wrath was this speech. Here he could
only turn his venom on hia party oppon
enta, the Democracy; but no doubt he
had tne mind and will of Satan himself
when ho cursed the universe.
Later telegrams to-day will give the
further progress of the convention.

DisiNTKui&rrNKSfi is An.xais. — At the

Science Association at Saratoga, Prof. Bart
G Wilder spoke of the uameroae stories
published in Nature and other publications
regatdiug animals and their sagacity, and
proposed to relate two incidents which had
come to his knowledge of apparent disinter*
estedness in animals. One was where a
quartermaster’s mules at Pensaooia, being
stmt oat of a grass plot, one of them opened
the gate, hold closed by a ball and chain, by
hooking his head over it, and then, after
five mules had passed in, one of those in
ula backed op and hold the gate open for
i e one who had first opened the gate to
finer. The other incident was where the
Fifessor’s own dog was seen pulling bom
out.f * cat's tail with his month, something
whit k e would not do for himself, always
requiQg some of the household to do the
work aim, oven when he cou«d reach the
burn his xnouiii. He oc y knew of
mules Zoning a gate once and his dog only
’caned Lj burrs out of the oat's tail onoe.
“Gbiystone/* tho country seat lately
purchased by ox-Governor Tilden, for
$150,000, ia perhaps one of tbe most
pretentious private residences in this
country. It is said to have coat the
original proprietor $325,000. It stands
on the right bank of the Hudson river,
at Yonkers, abont twenty miles above
New York, and occupies fifty-five acres.
At the time we eaw it, Yonkers lots bare,
were valued at ten thousand dollars an
acre. The discount is probably large.
Tho main and all ont buildings and
fences were of the bluish granite which
bolds such possession of that oountry
that tho cost of clearing and grading is
as great as that of buying the land. Tho
Hudson has a rampart of rocks on both
sides, but nevertheless to outward view
much of its banks are verdant lawn and
blooming garden.
“Greystone*’ is a castellated mansion
with numerous turrets. It was then held
by its original proprietor, a wealthy mer
chant, with a passion for domestic gran*
dear, which his good lady, a painstaking
housekeeper, lamented bitterly, for she
remarked in speaking of it, that though
her husband owned tho house, the house
owned her, and she had been its slave
for years. Tnat she knew of no poasiblo
arrangement which wonld save the mistress
of saoh an establishment from a weary
oversight. It will give Tilden a chance
to show that ho knows ‘how to keep a
hotel.”
WeMieyau Female College.
This venerable and excellent institu
tion will open on the 17th in6t., under the
most favorable auspices. President Bass
has recently returned from an extended
tour through Georgia and Florida, and
doubtless his labors will result in the in
gathering of many pupils. In reviewing
tne educational calendar of Georgia for
the past year, we find that old Wesleyan
bore away the palm in point of numbers,
and certainly no one will contend that she
second in merit to any similar founda.
tion North or South.
The course of study in this College for
young ladies is very thorough and com
plete, rivalling, and even surpassing
many more pretention a male institutions.
Indeed, we have obeerved, time and
agaio, that the female mind is more pre
cocious than that of the ruder sex, and
seems to take in and absorb abstruse
science much easier and more aptly.
The girls are able to make fonr or five
recitations a day in Latin, French, mathe-
matios, rhetorio, history, ohemistry, as
tronomy, etc., while the boys are sel
dom oalled upon more than thrioe, and
even then do not always oome to time.
This may be explained npon the princi
ple that the girls become women and
marry, before the beards of the boys are
grown. Henoe natare, in a compensating
spirit, quiokens their intellects, and at
this atage of existence they far outstrip
thoeo of the opposite sex. An old and hon
ored educator, however, well known in this
city and State, onoe told tbe writer that
the lads, after their beards had spronted
and they had sown a few of their wild
oats, always caught up with tbe girls.
Bat the gallantry of the writer impels
him to say that this statement should be
received cum grano satis.
Certain it is, that tbe average girl will
study her eyes ont at night rather than
not master her task, while the average
boy does nothing of tbe kind; bat reven-
ons a nos moutons.
We learn that Professor Joseph T.
Derry, for many years at the bead of the
celebrated Richmond Academy, has con
sented to accept the ohair of Modern
and Dead languages in Wesleyan oollege,
and will begin doty at the opening of the
term. He is a highly cultivated and
erudite soholar, aud the trustees were
fortunate in securing his services. We
are pleased to ohronicle alto that Miss
Aitella Cocke, of Richmond, Va., but for
merly from Marion, Alabama, has been
elected a teacher of music in the oollege,
and will report for duty immediately.
This lady, who is equally profioient as
soholar and a musician, would grace
any institution in the ooaotry. Socially,
too, she will be an acquisition to Maoon,
and would make an admirable oh arch
organist.
We bespeak for Wesleyan College
the patronage and ooontenanoe of oar
whole community. This is one institution
at least, npon whioh all can unite. It
is an honor to oar city State and oountry.

Betarn. to tbe Tre.iary Department
for tbe first nine months of tbe last fis
cal year justify tbe estimate that tbe
amount of ship-building for tbe whole
year will be 195,000 tons, as against
235/104 tons in 1873, and 176,592 in
1877. The tonnage of Bailing vessels
bnilt has fallen from 106,331 in 1677,
aal 106,067 in 1878, to 53,129 in tbe
nine months of 1879. The tonnage
of steam vessels built daring the nine
months of 1879 is 63,865, as agaicet
SI, 860 for tbe year of 1878, and 47,514
for tbe year of 1877. Tbe growth of
steam tonnage has been gradual for tbe
last few years, while tbe sailing tonnage
has been on a corresponding decline.
Tbos tbe oonntry Is showing a decline
even npon years of great general pros
tration, indicating a deep-seated public
disorder, resulting, as was shown a few
days ago, from oar tariff taxation. What
ought to be said of the statesmanship
which prostrates the shipping interest of
its own people who have more to ship
than any people under the Ban ?
Not Opfoskd to Eitxnsion,—Several
articles have appeared in various news
papers calculated to convey tbe impres
sion that the TiLionapu is opposed tc
the extension of the Maoon and Bruns
wick Railroad. We have refrained hith
erto from replying to Bach statements,
being persuaded that the intelligent
reader knows that the very reverse is
true.
Onoe for all, however, we distinctly
aver that this journal has always fa
vored and advocated tbo extension of
the above road in tbe direstion which,
in its jndgment, wonld be most promot
ive of the welfare of the two oities di
rectly interested—Maoon and BrnDswiol;.
Pending the action of tbe Legislature,
when the question was an open ono as to
wbat point tho road should be extended,
if extended at all, we were persistent in
recommending Knoxville as the place,
and even now indulge the hope that,
should a lease be effected, the lessees will
build to Covington, as not only the At
lanta connection, which they wonld be
compelled to make, would thereby be as
sured, but in tbe end, perhaps, an exten
sion to Knoxville also.
Our friends in Jasper, Jones, Newton
and Rockdale will be greatly benefited
by railroad facilities, and now, as in the
past, wo would be delighted to have them
enjoy them. It should be remembered
that the Atlanta connection was always
a foregone conclusion, because any ex
tension must cross or unite with the
Geotgia Railroad, which terminates at
the Gale City. It was tho road direct to
Atlanta that we opposed, among other
roasons, because it virtually kills off
the Knoxville project, which would so
largely promote the interest of Macon
aud Southwest Georgia.
Odr Stats Fair.—As will be seen
elsewhere, at a meeting of the president
End citizens’ committee yesterday after-
noon, active measures were taken to se
cure the sympathy and co-operation of
every citizen of Macon iu behalf of the
approaching fair of the State Agricultu
ral society. If we expect this exposition
to be permanently located here, our peo
ple must manifest an activo and abidtng
interest in its welfare. We trust every
leading merchant will offer some article
of his wares as a premium for the par
ticular industry he may favor. This wil]
add largely to the interest of the exhibi
tion.
But more especially do we hope that our
numerous wholeeale retail establish
ments will each display samples of their
goods, arranged as they only know how
to adjust them, on pictureeque and orna
mental stands, which will illustrate tho
exposition.
Tho time is getting short, and all Ma
oon and Southern Georgia must be up
aud doing to preserve the laurels they
have so often fairly won and worn at
these annual exhibitions of the Agricul
tural Society.
We shall have xuuoh more te say here
after on the same snbjeot.
Thi Successor or Rxv. Mr. Gokt-
chiub.—We learn from a private source
that Bev. Mr. McQueen, of Sonth Caro
lina has been invited to fill the pnlpit of
the Presbyterian Church at Milledge-
ville, and wilt begin his pastoral relations
on the third Sabbath of this month. Mr.
McQueen ie a son of the genial and big-
sonled Rev. Donald McQueen, D.D., of
Sumter, South Carolina, and is said to bo
a very promising young divine. We
trust he will visit Maoon and allow oar
people to form his acquaintance.

Txh Chronicle and Constitutionalist is
ont with a double trade eheet,exceeding
ly well gotten np and fall of encourage
ment to the people of Angneta. The fol
lowing extract gives a very cheerful ex
hibit of the finances of that city:
The bonded debt of the city, as we
gather from official sources, is $2,033,-
000, running through a series of years of
comparatively easy payments to 1904.
To meet this she has assets valued at
$1,043,300; a stoking fund of $75,000,
annually increasing, running for fifteen
years and calculated to absorb more
than a million dollars of the bonds, and,
withal, an admirable system of taxation,
so calculated so as to meet the current
expenses, accruing interest, and extraor
dinary expenses of her government.
The taxable property upon her tax di
gest for 1879, amounts to $13,693,615,
of which $9,033,355 is real estate. Be
sides this she derives an inoome from
the Savannah river bridge, from the
wharves, from the jail, from the canal,
from the Recorder’s Court, from the wa
ter works, from tbe hospitals, from the
market, licenses, quarterly taxes, business
raxes and other sources aggregating about
$100,000. The rate of taxation is fixed at
l of 1 per cent, for ordinary current ex
pense?; I of I per cent, for extraordinary
expenses, and I of 1 per oent. for the
sinking fund. To this latter one-half of
the gross amount of axles of South Com.
moos Lots is added, and the interest on
the bonds purchased by the commission-
era of that fond. From a comparison of
this exhibit, with that of the past fonr
years, it will be seen that there is a re
duction in the valuation of real estate,
and a reduction of the tata of taxation
also. Every obligation is promptly me*;
every dollar of interest paid when due
and on demand. Every department of
her government is in admirable working
order. Economy marks the management
of the administration in every quarter.
Her people are prosperous; their individ-
usl credit is equal to that of any otuer

A Txxa HouoauD Ihstitct*.—Chroni.
ele amd Sentinel: The Richmond Acade
my. which is located on the south side of
Telfair street, between Washington and
Centre, is one of the most ornate build
ings in the city and attracts tbe attention
of every stranger. The institution was
incorporated by the General Assembly of
the State before the close of the revolu
tionary war, that is oo the 31et of Jnly.
1793, and henoe is 99 years old. Ite ori-
gio. however, dates back to the Colonial
G.vernmmt, when large tracts of land
w-re set apart in each parish for educa
tional purposes, and the establishment of
churches, under the control of Trustees
appointed by the Crown. A large build
ing oc tbe pnblic lot, whiob embraced
that portion of tbe town extending from
Washington to Molntosh etree, and on
which tbe church of Sc. Paul nos stands,
was existing at that time, and nssd by
the Trustees as an academy, with two
smaller or tenement houses for the teach
ere, until a new structure should be
erect’d.
This bnilding most have been erected
during or preceding the war, probably
the latter, as this portion of Augusta
was the scene of some sanguinary con
flicts about the forts and entrenobments
there ereoted.
The Richmond Aoademy appears to be
tbe oldest incorporated institution of
learning in tbe United States, with bnt
four exceptions: Harvard, of Massachu
setts; William and Mary, of Virginia;
Yale, of Connecticut, and Prinoeton, of
New Jersey.
Dxvxnoprao th* Country.—Tho At
lanta Dispatch says: The bnilding of
the branch read to Lawrenceville (for
whioh proposals for the grading have
been invited) will make seven bracoh
roads from the Atr-Line between Atlan
ta and Charlotte. This road, with its
rsmifioations, is one of the most useful
and important in the oountry.
Messrs. J. D. Anthony Sc Sons an
nounce that they will retire from the
management of the Sandersville Courier
on tho 16th inat. Their successors will
bo named in due time. We wish these
gentlemen signal success in all their fa*
ture business operations.
Another Bio Orchard,—The Courier
says: Ool. T. J. Smith tells ns that he
will go into the frnit business soon. He
proposes to plant ont fifty or a hundred
acres in orohards and vineyards this fall,
and enlarge the same annually. He has
already bargained for fivo thousand fruit
trees, and will probably increase the
number to ten thonsand.
Crops xn Ehanuel.—The Swainsboro
Herald complains of the bad stand of tur
nips. Of the ootton it says: “The ootton
weed ia unusually small in this eeotion
of the country, but tbe most observant
farmers are of the opinion that it is well
fruited."
Poor Crop Prospect about Columbus.
—The Times says: “Reports come in
from all sections of a poor cotton orop.
A gentleman m the city yesterday states
that he has cotton ten feet high, bat
that it has no frnit on it. Such reports
are now daily ooourrences. - The farmers
aro beginning to look blue as they realize
tho true Btatus of the crop. We trust,
however, that their worst fears may not
be realized.
No Decisive Action.—In reference to
tho election of a pastor to nil the pulpit
of the Columbn* Presbyterian Church,
soon to be vacated by tho removal of Dr.
Nall to New Orleans, the Times has the
following:
There was a meeting of tho member
ship of thi3 church held after public ser
vice Sunday morning to tako steps abont
obtaining a pastor. There were over
une hundred members present. Two
names were pat before tho meeting, viz:
Roy. C. E. Chichester and Rev. Samuel
W. Smith. Upou a ballot taken it was
found that Rev. Mr. Chiohester had re
ceived a small majority of all the votes
oast. After a discussion of other mat
ters pertaining to the business on hand
the meeting was adjourned sine die.
This leaves the business in an unfinish
ed condition, if we are not in error,
no arrangements were made for prosecu
ting tbe call, and the desired unanimity
of action was not secured bo as to place
the chnroh in proper position before the
Presbytery receiving or the one making
the call.
•An old Landmark to be Removed.
Milledgeville Recorder: By an aoc of the
Legislature the walla of the old Peniten
tiary, in this city, were donated to the
Slate Lunatic Asylum, and will soon be
put to tbe nse intended by the act afore
said. The tearing down of the walls was
commenced last Thursday. Capt. M. R.
Bell and Mr. J. T. Arnold have taken
the contract to deliver the briok at the
Asylum.
The walls were originally built in the
year 1818, but from time to time have
been enlarged, as the number of convicts
increased. The buildings in the intorior
have several times been destroyed by
fire. The last fire, during its occupation
by the State, was cn the night ef Novem
ber 8th, 1833. All the workshops, tools,
lumber, etc., were destroyed. Only the
cell buildiDg, which was of stone, re
mained. It was set on fire by the con
nets. The loss to the State was $30,000.
Not a convict escaped.
It would, in onr opinion, be a good
thing for the State, as well as our city, to
sell oat the whole—that is the laud and
what remains of the bniidings, etc. The
twenty acres of land attached and em
braced by the walls are in the centre of
the city, and wonld, if cleared of tbe rub
bish upon ahem, be valuable for lots for
bnildiDg pnrposes. As the property now
stands it is useless for any purpose, and
is an eyesore to the people of Milledge<
ville.
The Constitution reports that the pub.
tic schools at the opening were orowded
to thetr almost limit. Not less than 521
children had to be excluded for want of
room. The Mayor has taken the matter
in hand and hopes to be able to provide
accommodations for the excess of pupils.
Macon is in the same fix. Superintend
ent Zsttler has turned away over 50 ap
plicants from a single school house.
Dr. Joeiah V. Stevens of this city has
been invited to occupy one of the profes
sors chairs In the new medical college
in Atlanta, bnt declines.
Will it Never End ?—Under this
head the Columbus Enquirer-Sun thus
speaks:
New bills are constantly being presen
ted to the Legislature. We can see no
end to them. The convention thought a
damper was being placed on the intro
duction of local bills, but never yet have
a set of lawyers framed a provision
which other lawyers could not find fault
with and by some means manage to over
ride. Toe calling of yeas aud noes on
these local bills as the constitution in
tended (or else its meaning was worth
ies?) has been interpreted to mean a
m?re standing vote or viva voce, and
□ ence no restriction is presented. Mem
bers can introduce bills at will, and thi:
thing is bound to ooutinne. Gentlemen
ought to be aware that their ability is
not judged by the quantity, but by the
good measures they formulate. It
is not the part of wise legislation to
pass measures merely for the purpose
of repealing them the next session. Geor
gia spent thousands of dollars for secur
ing a new constitution. The average
legislator thinks the members of that
body were in fan, and that anything bat
a strict construction of its aou is correct.
Hence they deluge that body with twad
dle and talk. Gentlemen, can the happy
era ever come when you will think more
and debate leas, when acts will be rid of
useless verbiage, and be written so that
common intellects can understand them
and you cease fathering little unimpor
tant measures to keep your names before
your constituents?

Bridging tbe British Channel
New Tork Sun.]
The seasick Briton who will have pa
tience to live a few years longer will
possibly find himself rewarded by being
able to pass from bis little island to the
mainland witbont a qualm.
Perhaps he may fl tat over to France in
an air-ship, when the problem has been
solved of aerial navigation. Perhaps he
may cross beneath the Channel, through
that Lnnuel of the future, whose expert
mental shaft has been so promisingly
sunk on the Frenoh coast. Perhaps, fi
natty he may travel in a railway oar or
bridge, as quietly as on mother earth.
Preposterous as it may seem, this last
project—that of bridging the channel
is under serious consideration. M. Ve-
nard de. Ste. Anne has already laid his
plans for the purpose before the French
aud Belgian Chambers of Commerce
and has received the adhesion of quite
foresoore of their members; nex: he
to lay them before tbe British scientific
societies, and then to ask tbe aid of the
British Government.
The first thing to strike one, in this
project, is that the proposed bridge must
have piers, and that piers will be rath
er difficult and costly to build,
btidge is not to cross between
Dover and Calais, but a lit
tle to the west{—[from Folks
stone to Cape Grisnez. Tho distance hero
is about twenty-one miles; but about
thr. e-seveutha of the way out from Folk-
st me, or about nine miles from tbe Eng
lish coast and twelve from the French,
Yarne Rock, and not far beyond that the
Calbart Reef. The former is really
kind of rocky plateau, abnut two and
half miles broad, and along the greater
part of the surface is only fifty feet under
water, while at some portions it is only ~
feet. Here then, it is obvious, is a prac
ticable point for erecting, at compara
tively slight expense, an extensive port
or half-way station. In other words, tho
problem will be reduced to that of two
connecting bridges, one being nine miles
long, and the other twelve.
Again, offioial sonndinga show that the
greatest depth along the proposed route
ie about 170 feet; and this depth exists
only for about one-ninth of the entire
distance. However, tbe problem of piers
for this distance, and, in fact, for tbe
whole dtstanoe, save along tho rock and
reef just mentioned, iB a eetions one. M,
de Ste. Anne concludes that ix is useless
to attempt to build up bis columns for
tho bridge on foundations deeper than
about 65 feet under water. He therefore
proposes to create foundations, at the
required points, by dropping hngo masses
of rocks into the ohannel, and holding
thorn with cement. Theprooess is well
known; bat the prodigious quantity of
material to be required for this purpose
would at first seem to make th9 project
out of the question. Still it is an
amount that can be calculated with ap
proximate accuracy after experiment.
M. de Ste. Anne doss not propose to
hays any of his spans exceed 650 feet
This wonld give about eight to tbe mile,
or, mo?e accurately, as he estimates
about 175 to the entire distance. Here,
again, the enormous cob!; of the founds
tions and oolumns is indicated.
But now another difficulty comes in
view—the impeding of navigation. To
avoid this the bridge floor will have to be
oarried very high; and, in faot, it is pro
posed that it Bball be about 114 fee
above the sea level, whioh the Frenoh
marine authorities have pronounced to
bo sufficient. As to the form of the
bridge, it is proposed to have stone arch
es at either extremity and at tbe half-way
station, as far out as possible; then the
girder-bridge system; and, finally, the
tabular system.
Whether anything will come of this
gigantio project it ie, of course, idle to
predict. M. de Ste. Anne has inspired
sufficient faith in it,in some quarters, to
be likely to raise the $200,000 required
for his preliminary experiments, It
may be found that the cost of construe
tion will not be justified by the annual
reoeipts from tolls than can be counted
on. But it 1b testimony enough fer the
desire for new means of crossing tho
channel that we see pushed simnitanc-
ously two such extraordinary echemes,
the one for burrowing beneath the strait,
and the other for bridging it.
It is a sad eight to see an intoxicated
person on the street. How znuoh more
so is it to see a dull and siokly baby ren

Railroad Legislation.
Though the bill reported by tbe Legisla-
tive committee as a substitute for the sev
eral bills referred to them for tlio regulation
of railroad charges and management has
been defeated id the House, tbe proceed
ings in that body on Saturday give good
reason for tbo hope that a measure accom
plishing the object aimed at by other agen
cies will be adopted. Tne defeated bill pro
vided for a commission as a regular and per
manent department of tbe State govern
ment, and to this commission was entrusted
tbe whole matter of tha regulation of the
raiiroads. There were weighty objections
to this measure, which prevented soma of
the very strongest advocates of railroad reg
ulation by law from supporting it. Though
a precedent for such commissions was found
in the action of other States, it must bo ad
mitted that the powers conferred by tho bill
were extraordinary, and liable to great
abuses. Everything would have depended
upon the constitution and disposition of the
committee, a majority of whom might have
leaned to one extreme or the other—eitbor
failing to carry out faithfully and effectively
the requirementa of tbe constitution, or in
juriously affecting the rights and interests
of the railroads by harsh limitations and re
strictions. There were also some who
doubted the authority of tbe Legislature,
under a fair construction of the language of
the constitution, to delegate such powers to
a commission. It was feared that a consti
tutional question would be raised upon tbis
point, and if decided in favor of the rail
roads, there conld be no binding legislation
on the snbject nutil tbe meeting of tbe next
General Assembly at least. It was not,
therefore, opposition to tbe object songbt to
be affected by the defeated bill, but to the
methods which it provides, that oaosed its
rejection —Oolombus Times.

Hr. Stephens’ Appearance.
A writer in the Philadelphia Times, who
encountered Mr. A H. Stephens iu New
Jersey, where bs was recreating, thns de
scribee the Georgia Commoner:
In appearance he has not changed for
years. Hia spare body, colorless face, white
locks, sharp, bright eyes, his dark clothes,
black hat and gray gloves, hia wheeling-
chair and his piping voice, are tho same, ap
parently, as they were twenty years ago,
when he first withdrew from Congressional
life,and George William Gortia draw the pen
picture of him in Harper’s Magazine, which
presented him as he then wae and still is to
the thousands of curious people in the
North. Hia oil attendant, Harry, who wae
with him for thirty ye&re, and whoso pres
ence has for so long formed a part of the
statesman’s snrronndinge, has been laid np
' ordinary, and “Aliok,” a very dark mnlat-
, strong-limbed and intelligent, has taken
hia place. If it were not pathetio to see
him carry his master iu hia arms np and
down stairs, and into and ont of the cars
when traveling, the scene would almost be
indicrooe. “Take me np, Aliok,” says Mr.
Stephens, and Aliak passes one strong arm
under the withered body and passes the
other over the shoulders. Then, with
slight arasjns and s warning word, "Seep
quiet, Masser Stephens,” he Ufts him as a
child and carries him wherever he may wish
go. The servant rarely leaves bis mas
ter a aids, and is jealous of attentions from
ontaide people, although not obtrnsively so.
A SHARP GEUKGEi
George sharp Too .’tliich lor tne
Detectives of Georgia,
Special to the Co drier-Journal.]
Atlinta, August 31.—Probably the most
remarkable caee of evading tb? detectives
ever known in this country ia furnished in
the person of an ex-citizen of this town.
Abont three years ago George Sharp, Jr., a
famous Jeweiiy dealer, probably tho beet
known in the booth, left Atlanta between
two suns, in disguise. He had dono_ an
enormous business, and his store, in rich
ness and elegance, was a marvel in Georgia
and the surrounding States. It was known
some time before he left that he had been
in tronbto, bnt nothing criminal was sus
pected. Indeed, it is hot known here that
he did anything criminal He probably
pledged goods to creditors that were on con
signment, but the main thing seems to be
that be had betrayed many friends who had
loaned him money, and he did not care to
meet them. Upon nis leaving his store was
seized and warrants issued for his arrest.
He left hia wife, a moat estimable lady, who
still lives here with her two boys. He
changed hid disguise in Augusta, acdsooke
to tbe oondnctoi who had brought him down
without the conductor knowing him. Since
then an unremitting search has been kept
np for him, bat without avail. It is believed
to be certain that he has never left America.
Two requisitions have been made on Gov
ernors of other States for him, bnt he has
always eluded his pursuers. Two or three
times they have been within an hour or two
of him. bat could never put their hands on
him. It is believed that he ekirts about the
edge of thb country, so that he oan skip ont
of inrisdiotion in a short time. He hae been
tracked to tbe edge of Canada and to tho
Mexico, and has been driven into eaoh coun
try by doteotivos. It is said that he is still
dealing in jewe’ry, baying from his oid cred-
itots in disguise and under a new name. He
said when be left Atlanta that ho wonld
never be brought back alive. He has many
old friends, who declare that ha wdi, of his
own will, oome book when he has arranged
to square things np.

Tbe Maine Senatorshlp.
New Yorx Tribune.]
Mr. Hale will not, however, return to
the Hoase. He will bo a candidate for
the Senate before the legislature to be
elected next year, and will not of course
run for two offices. Senator Hamlin has
definitely announced his determination
to retire from publio life at the close of
his present term, and the field will be
open to the ambitions young politicians
of the State. Mr. Hale and Mr. Frye,
for ten years colleagues and close friends
in the House, wilt be the principal rivals
for the succession. They are both strong
men, with doyoted followings—Mr. Hole
being the favorite in the eastern part of
tho State, and Mr. Frye in the western.
A very close contest looks probable.
Oongreesman Reed, of Portland, will be
a third candidate, with a fair prcspect of
Blipping in between the powerful contes
tants.
A Curious Sand-Spout.
Trackee (Nev.) Republican.]
Early Thursday afternoon a beantiful
ssnd-spont shot np from the road leading
to Shaffer’s mill, a mile or so from town.
Up, up, and still npward it sped until it
reaohed apparently thousands of feet,
when, ooming in oontaot with a strong
current of air, it was soon dieBipated.
These phenomena are said to be pro
duced by a peculiar effect of the heat of
the sun on the sands, whioh is probably
true, as at the time there was not a
breath of wind stirring.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
T)AIN in the right side, under tho
1 edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure ; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder blade, and
it-frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The stom
ach is affected with loss of appetite
and sickness; the bowels in general
are costive, sometimes alternative with
lax; the head is troubled with pain
accompanied with a dull, heavy sen
sation in the back part. There is gen
erally a considerable loss of memor}'.
accompanied with a painful sensation
of having left undone something which
ought to have been done. -'A slight,
dry cough is sometimes an attendant.
The patient complains of weariness
and debility; he is easily startled, his
feet are cold or burning, and lie com
plains of a prickly sensation of the
skin; his spirits are low; and although
he is satisfied that exercise would be
beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try it.
In fact, lie distrusts every remedy.
Several of the above symptoms attend
the disease, but cases have occurred
where few of them existed, yet exam
ination of the body, after death, has
shown the liver to have been exten
sively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
Dr. C. McLane’s Liver Pills, in
cases of Ague and Fever, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,

disease to give them a fair trial.
