demy of Science, tbo other evening, on *The
Froborda of tho House F1&’ Tbo wall be.
hind tho desk at winch the Prof essor stood
wsj decorated fer '.he occasion wits diagrams
shewing htghly magnified sections of the
body of the common honss-fly or Mnsoa
domosiicue. Prof. Madoskie declared that
it was a mistake to say that flies bito, the
testimony cf all mankind to tho contrary
nut a fitmh riling- They didn’t bite—they
only filed, it was for m long time said by
natuniUta that tho knob at the end of the
fly's pro boons was mado up of muscular
haetso, by which the owner was enabled to
rob hia teeth, so to speak, into the flesh of
Suffering humanity. Later investigation had
demouttrated tbo fact that thia knob was
made up principally of small rods, the sharp
ends of winch projected a littlo beyond the
end. makirg a surface similar to that of a
very sharp and cffectivo file.
Too lecturer went on to describe Just how
tbs files go to work to file a person's face.
Having cucovctcd a mir.ute epeck of some
thing palatable, the fly first dropped a little
ethva upon it to moisten or dissolve the
dainty morsel. This done ho went to work
with his file, executing a movement like that
of the snout of the pig when rooting up the
earth Haring gathered op enough for a
'swallow,' he itrew up his proboscis, emptied
the food into his mouth acd chewed it. To
proTS that fi.os had teeth, although they
-atre so ,tested as not to en&bla tim to bite
any external object, the professor psssed
aroa da specimen cf a fly's jaw adjusted
under the objective glass of a microscope
and she sing off the fly’s back teeth to great
advantage. Tne mosquito's apparatus was

Cotton
Boomed to 71*6 to 7 3 32 yesterday
in Liverpool. For the firs, time for many
weeks the net receipts of tho week were
reported at less than the corresponding
week of last year—218,795 sgainst 220,-
346 bales.
A Cincinnati telegram published is
our last, stated Wo. B. Forwcod, Presi
dent of the Liverpool Chamber of Com
merce, who has made an entendre tour
through the Cotton States, exp reeled
himeelf satisfied that the increase in the
incoming crop over last year would be
between 2,0CQ acd 3,000 bale?. Doubtless
Hr. Forwood’s statement wa3 two to
three hundred thousand bales, and in
this he differs more than twice that
amount from the judgment of the Wash
ington Department of Agriculture, for
they look for & deficit of 290,000 bales.
These estimates, however, are very
loose and unreliable. Seasoning on gen
eral principles, the cow crop must be
coining forward very far in advance of
las: year. It was foroed into early ma
turity by an unexampled drouth. Tho
picking season has been en almost or
quite uninterrupted epcll of favorable
weather; the transmission to market
has been facilitated by good roads, and
stimulated by better prices than have
prevailed for the past threo years. The
receipts are, therefore, at present date,
about four hundred thousand bales m
excess of those of last year; but that foot
of itself affords no evidence that the
crop will he swollen to that amonnt or
swollen at all.
Wo should more naturally look for a
comparatively rapid elimination of re
ceipts and a corresponding equalization
or reversal of the balance; and thus we
do. Tho fact that the last week’s receipts
wero smaller than those of tho corres
ponding week of last year in the faoe of a
slimulating advance may already indicate
a beginning of tho ebb. A. pieoo of work
began early and etimulkting by tho moat
favorablo conditions, therefore, is likely
to be finished soon.
WEETnaa to Sisk Tins Gbxehbackb?—
A long ond fierce controversy in Congress

that spectacle will be witnessed this ses«

The entire agricultural world is satisfied
with greenbacks, and prefer them to any

A Railroad Convention.
The following note explains itself:
Macon, December 6lb, 1879.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger—
Gxhtlxuxn: Tour suggestion, in a ro-
oent issue, that the people of the oities
of Macon and Brunswick, and of the conn
ties along the lino of tho Macon and
Brunswick Bailroad, should bny or lease
the road on tho 13th of January next is,
I think, a good one, and in further'
anoo of your views ond for tho purpose
indicated by you, and also for the pur
pose of taking into consideration the
whole question of Iho lease or salo of the
M. & B. Bailrocd, I suggest that the
people of theso counties, also of Jones,
Jasper, Butts, Newtoq and Fulton, hold
aoonTontion on the 30th December next,
in Macon, for the purposes indicated.
Respectfully,
CHABiiks J. Eabbis,
bihauks. r
We heartily second tho proposed con
vention of the citizens of Macon, Bruns
wick, and all tho country adjsocnt to thb
Macon and Brunswick Railroad, as well
pa those who dwell upon the lino of the
proposed extension in .all the counties
from Maoon to Covington, including tho
county of Falton.
With proper effort, there seems no
reason to doubt that the people of the
region most interested may yet be able
to oontrol the lease and future deBtlny of
tho road. This is greatly to be desired.
Some of our most prominent merchants
have indicated a willingoers to aid in this
movement. All that is wanted is energy
and organization. A consultation between
the people who will be most affected by
the lease or sale, can at least do no harm,
and measures may then be adopted which
will cecure the lease and dispose of tho
whole question in a satisfactory man
ner.

Cuexd.—Wo invite particular attention
to the statements mado elsewhere of the
wonderful suocess attending even tho
most desperate oases of cancer and stam
mering; under tho treatment of Dr. Mo
ses apd son, who are at present located
In Atlanta.
The writer recently saw in their rooms,
near tho Markham House, many patients
afflicted with cancer, who, in every in
stance, were doing well, aad some almost
cared.
Dr. Mo383 never uses the knife, .nor
has he any occasicn to .resort to chloro
form in the management of the disease.
By the simple application of a powerful
salve, accompanied with constitutional
treatment, in a few days the cancer be
comes detached from the flesh and comes
out whela. We saw one taken from the
oheek of Oapt. T. J. Massey, of Marshall-
ville, as large as & walnut, which had
penetrated to the very bone. The Cap
tain was free from pain, and the hole had
granulated and was rapidly filling up.
He expects to return home perfectly
cured in; a few days, and is loud in his
praises of tho doctor. On ths mantle-
piece of the apartment, was a number
of glass vessels containing a multitude
of cancerous sores, moles, warts, etc.,
which had been removed and were pre
served in alcohol.
The oertificate3 of Dr. Moses are
from some of the mo3t respectable and
reliable citizens of the State, among
whom is Campbell Wallace, Esq. He is
well known in Georgia, Virginia and the
entire South.
Children or adults aiS'oted, also, with
stammering can most certainly be perma
nently cured in an incredibly short time.
We heard a class of six or eight exam
ined, and the majority of them enuncia
ted with ears acd distinctness after three
day’s treatment only. There is no hum
bug in this. Some cf the moat respec
table people of Atlanta are the Doctor's
patrons. Those desirous cf consulting
him can read tho certificates printed in
another column, and ehould lose no
time in doing bo.
No Bccx roa Govbbsob in Atlanta.—
So far aa we could see or learn in a recent
visit to Atlanta, there is no serious
movement or enthusiasm manifested for
any of the numerous aspirants for the
higboit office in tho gift of the people of
Georgia. Governor Colquitt has a large
following; Gaitieil claims hosts of friends;
Wofford, It is said, will be in the field as
an Independent candidate; the friends of
Colonel Hardeman are not unmindful of
hia claims; Liwton possesses a strong hold
upon the affections of the people, though
tho enemies of the Central Railroad insist
that hia relations to that mammoth or
ganization will b9 fatal to hia prospects,
and then there i3 a sporadic support for
Bacon, Bionnt, Adorns, Reese and others.
Still, ns remarked above, there is at this
time no pronounced enthusiasm for any
of them. Perhaps it is because it is too
soon to fix the political slate, acd there is
a disposition to abide the progress of na
tional events and local questions at home.
However this may be, outside of tho
threats ond boosts of a few independents
acd so called Grant Democrats, the po
litical eea is unruffled by tho faintest
breeze. We only wish that tho calm
could be extended indefinitely.
EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
Kimball Hotj3B, Atlanta,
December 6,1879.
TUB CHANT BOOH.'
After the most diligent inquiry in all
directions the writer is oonstrained to be
lieve that despite the “picturesque” rev
elations of his young friend, “H. W. G.,”
to Northern papers, this reported boom is
not big and strong enough to keep moored
in tho Grant reservoir ovar a baker’s
dozen of Democratic malcontents. And
even in this attenuated catalogue quito a
modicum of the whole aro tainted with
Republicanism in the past, and we cannot
hear of even one who is not a disappointed
politician, or has not some prospective
axe of his own to grind. This is tbs
oninion of
bb. h. v. at. SnLLEB,_
who has himBelf, for a long time, been
detached from partisan politics, albeit a
truo patriot and noble gentleman. Tho
commonwealth of Georgia should never
forget the signal services rendered by
Senator Miller in the first Constitutional
Convention after tho war. With masterly
skill did ho hold In check tho ignorant
Radical majority, having tho address
actually to engraft many excellent and
conservative features into tho constitu
tion whioh was then drafted. Bat the
Doctor takes no etock in tho puny
Southern boom for Grant and the empire.
Tho whole affair may bo narrowed down
to tho limits of ona or two sensational
newspaper letters.
OBN. B0BSBT T00MB3.
This big brained irrepressible “rebel”
still holds his own bravely, though on tho
verge of throe score years and ten. Tho
labor he performs in tho courts is most
astonishing in the oonduci, of the numer
ous rail road cases which have been en
trusted to hia management by tho State.
Outsido of these he has been retained al
so in many private causes, one cf which
will be tried next week in your city. In
a private conversation with the General
wo were surprised to learn
WHAT HEAVY EU2I3
*— 3 1— '-aiia.'tpd. through his agency,
for back arreargea oftaxas cuo tna atato
by her several railroads. These may be
summed cp as follows:
From the Georgia Railroad and branch
es, $40,000; from the Cherokee and Ala
bama Railroad, $5,000; from the Atlan
tia and Gulf Road last week, under the
decree of U. S. Justices Woods and Er-
skine, $70,009, besides a claim for $150,-
000 more, now before the Supreme Court,
which he is certain will bo allowed ; from
tho Cantral Railroad $40,000, not inclu
ding $160,000 and $20,000 interest for
whioh he is still contending; from the
Atlanta and West Point Railroad, $10,-
000; from the Air Line road, $10,000,
and about $4,000 from . tho Rome Rail
road, which will bo obtained under a re
cent settlement. ,

A very large portion of the anobliected
sum of $320,000, however, comes under
the head of ‘’penalty,” or doable taxa
tion, and it is not probable that the
State, having recovered all dues for co-
tual taxes, will insist on this penalty,
the more especially as tho railroads con
tended that t&eir respective char
ters exempted them from taxation. Even
the simple taxes will impose a great
bmden upon them, and many think that
nothing more should be exacted. But
the law is inexorable, and unless relieved
by special legislation, wo do not see how
they can escape from the obligation.
GEKSBAL TOCMBS’ BESS.
As much has been said and written
concerning the enormous fees charged
by Mr. Toombs for hia services, wa
asked him how the matter really Btood.
He replied: “In conducting all the cakes
of tho State, I have received two retain-’
ers of $2,000 each, and tho agreement is
that ten percent: will bs allowed me for
all amounts covered into the treasury.”
Thebe charges do not appear to bo unu
sual or excessive, though the very com
mission will amount to a large sum.
TOOMBS’ BXJKCTIOM OF A1TXE3TT.
The General,' in speaking of his late
Chicago dispatch, which ho bitterly re
marked had been ' made the text for a
thousand Inswlts to him by the press,
gave the history of his refusal to accept
the proffered amnesty of tbs United
States Government. After the Honss
had passed its amnesty bill, bo wrote to
Senator Norwood, and directed him to
“strike from the roll ths name of Robert
Toombs, because ho had dose nothin;:
wrong, and nothing to b9 sorry for, nn:
therefore, how could he repentP‘
When Senator Morton aporosebed him
also, in Washington, and offered to have
all his disabilities removed, ho seornfally
spurned the proposition, exclaiming,
‘No, sir. I am just os much as ever a
d—d unreoonstrueted rebel.”
THE DOMESTIC RELATIONS CF GZ5E2AL
TOOMBS.
Even the most malignant enemy of this
remarkable man hea never dared to utter
one breath of slander against his conju
gal fidelity and devodon to the true and
gentle wife of his youth.
“I married hsr,” he said, “when Ehe was
only seventeen, and I twenty years of
age. She was ono of the most beautiful
and ncble girls in Georgia, and from that
day to this she has been my constant
companion, accompanying me wherever I
wens and always cherished and beloved
above all women.”
“The 18th of next November will be
fifty years since our union,” he continued,
'’and we will then celebrate
OCR GOLDEN WEDDING.
But mark you, no guest snail he invi
ted who i3 not known to be a true and
loyal husband to the wife that bears bis
name.”
These are noble sentiments and shed a
halo of glory over the head cf this aged
and distinguished Statesman. Here, at
least, he is invulnerable, and such a life
of ccnstanoy and purity should cover a
multitude of faults.
THE BESTBOE SUITS.
Under the Act of the Legislature and
the instructions of Governor Colquitt, the
AttorneyGeneral is at this time preparing
fi. fas. against the Treasurer and his asv*
eral bondsmen. The amount sued fer
wiil be between twenty-two and twenty-
three thousand dollars. The eases will
give rise to the liveliest litigation, and be
moat stubbornly resisted.
ODE CRIPPLED BBAVS3.
From the Warrant Clerk of the Execu
tive Department we >.arn that six hun
dred maimed soldiers have been supplied
with the cash to purchase artificial legs
and arms at a coet to the State cf forty
thousand dollare. It u estimated that
there wiil be net les3 than
TWO THOUSAND APPLICANTS.
The sum allowed fer a leg where the
amputation was above the knee i3 $100;
when below, $75. For an arm above the
elbow, $60; beneath the elbow, $40. If
2,000 cripples are supplied with artifisial
limbs’the cost will amcuut to $200,000.
A EPXCE OF TROUBLE IN THE FUTURE.
It is tho opinion of prominent lawyers
that, as the General Assembly failed to
make any appropriation to defray the
coetof these artificial limbs, the law was
inoperative, and they should not have
been supplied. But we doubt not that
the people will sustain the authorities in
esrrrying out the spirit of tho act, the
more especially aa Hie funds are on hand
to meet the necessary outisy. Buj there
is another serious defect complained of.
It is said that tha bill does not restrict
its benefactions to the enlisted soldiers
of Georgia only, as ought to have been
done, but that every maimed Confederate
within the limits of tho State, it matters
not to what oommand he may have be
longed. is entitled to the benefits of tho
act. We cannot vouch for tho tiuth of
thin, bat it is a matter that should to
fully investigated. Georgia certainly
should not bs called upon to perform
such acts of charity to the citizens of
other States, upon whom tho obligation
legitimately devolves. It is enough that
•wo care for own bravo Eoldiers, who so
gallantly represented the Common^
wealth.
THE RAILROAD COMMISSION.
We learn from tho meat reliable
sources that the trio of distinguished gen.
tlemen, who Jhave under consideration
the vast interests confided to their keep
ing, era laboring with the utmost diii-
genco in the discharge of their duties.
Theirs is a Herculean task, involving im
mense responsibility, tho nicest tact, and
great experience, integrity and firmness.
Happily, the Commissioners possess tho
confidence of tho people, and will come as
near probably as any other mortals to
wards disproving tho shameful postulate
of Sir Eobert Walpole, that
EVEET MAN HAS HIS PRICE.
Up to this time, in response to their
demands, every railroad In tho South,
with one or two exceptionB,has forwarded
to the Board complete schedules of their
p3B3enger fares and freight rates. Upon
them will devolve the delicate task of
correcting, remoddelling, or even Bubati.
rating oilier tariffs in lien of those in
present operation upon the several roads.
Of course, no two schedules can bo pre
cisely tho'same, as the length of each
thoroughfare, and the amount of busi-
noss'.it controls form imporlaut [factors
in the caioulatioo. Whot would be large
ly remunerative in one instance might be
actual ruin and starvation In another.
All these coints the Commissioners will
be forced to decide. Happily for thorn,
ono of their number
MB. CAMPBELL WALLACE
io possessed of vast practical experience
in tho premises, and is withal a godly,
incorruptible and strictly honest man
Ancthor, Governor Smith, is learned in
the law, sagacious ond every way com
petent. The third, Mr. Barnett, is con.
ceded to be ono of the most practical and
intelligent agriculturists in the State,
and possesses tho unlimited confidence of
hia constituents. If they fail to solve, to
the satisfaction of all, the complex rail
road question, with its innumerable an
tagonisms and diversified interests, then,
indeed, the task may bs considered im
possible.
In answer to the inquiry whether
POOLING WOULD BB PRACTICABLE,
one Commissioner said, that would de
pend upon tho interests of tha public C3
well &3 the roads. There might be cases
where, without somo arrangement of the
kind, c. weak road would go under to the
great detriment of a largo community.
But the primary object of the Board will
be to establish just and equitable rates
and prides upon all tho railroads. If they
do no more than abolish the _
ISirnorXE DISCRIMINATIONS
between different localities on the same
road, of which so muoh complaint has
been mado, then will the labors of tho
commission be hailed with joy by
grateful, people.
THE MACON AND BRUNSWICK LEASE AGAIN,
Since the date of his last missive the
writer enoouaiered Mr. Paine, who, it
will be remembered, represented Stanton
& Co. at the late abortive attempt to
lease this valuable State property. Mr.
P. reiterated tho intention of the Compa
ny to tost thoir title to tho leaso in tha
courts, and declared that the law had
been complied with by the tender to the
Governor of $176,000 and $5GO,000 in
U. S. bonds, to confirm the lease. He
also dcolared that tho extension would
have been built in twelve months, and
on arrangement had already been made
for rnnning a line of steamships botween

AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT.
Every day demonstrates the wisdom of
the selection mado in tho person o! Dr.
Henderson, as the new head of this
highly useful and important bureau. He
ha3 taken hold with tha grasp of a mas
ter mind, and with the aid of his lieu
tenant, Newman, who is one of tho best
and most practical agricultural writers in
the South, this brsDJh of our State gov
ernment, which has already done so
mush to advance the true interests of
husbandry, will continus to grow in use*
fulness and influence. Only upon tha
principle that. Aristides was ostracised
because ths people were tired of hearing
him styled “AristideB the Just,” can we
account for tho hostility to this bureau
manifested by some of the planters of
Georgia who were. members of the last
Legislature. They’oould not appreciate
its utility and were fatigned with listen
ing to its praises. But we trust it is
how a permanently established institu
tion.

Dr. Henderson expects a vsry heavy

that they may be officially inspected.
The work of analyzing the various com

The Butler Herald's correspondent
gives an account of a liring[ekeleton and
the pranks of his insanity, which, though
somewhat extended, wo publish, &b it
describes one cf tho most singular scenes
ever witnessed:
While at Hopewell church last Sunday,
whioh is located four miles northwest of
Eilaville, on the Buena Vista and Ella'
villa road, I received intelligence that a
young man by the name of Bill Sellars
had killed himself. A party left tho
church immediately for the purpose of
ascertaining the facts of Eaid rumor.
Yonr correspondent being among the
number, gleaned tho following facts:
Mr. Sellars was atricken down some
months ago by dyspepsia; aad dating tho
four months had been constantly under
the treatmont of two medical dootorB
from Eilaville. They had managed by
constant attendance and strict attention
to his diet, to Keep him .alive, bat dtclng
that time he had been reduced by the
mighty destroyer to a mere skeleton.
Mr. Sellars wrs constantly growing weak
er both physically and mentally. About
one week Bgo the doctors discovered that
their patient had lost hia mind entirely,
After becoming crazy he reached the
conclusion that hia family ai well as
the doctors wero trying to starve him,
so last week he deoidoil to kill himself
and save them tho trouble of doing it.
The negroes on tho place had a quilting,
and had cooked a great deal to feed the
quiltetB. Sellars by some means found
this out, and made his way to tho negro
qnilting, and told them that it was his
intention and desire to kill himself, and
that ho would have one more meal before
ho did so. He then began to eat, and
before he quit had consumed everything
that wub cooked for twenty negroes;
after which be climbed to the houae
top for tho purpose of jumping off and
killing himself, bnt was discovered
by his mother, who persuaded him out
of tbo notion. List jsunday he again
decided to kill himself, and getting hold
of a hammer, with it climbed to the top
of his mothei'a house, and there avowed
his intention to commit suioide if they
did not give him wbitt he wanted to eat.
Ho at once bt'gan to oali for raw eggs,
and had them to toss them up to him,
whioh be would catch and oat. After
eating all the ogga that oould ba found,
he then began to call for first one thing
and another, avowing at tho same time
that he would ktU himself if they refused
to givo him what ho called for. All of his
demands wore gratified, until everything
in the way of esculent had been devour
ed. Immediately after finding that they
would not supply his demands, and they
did not give him more because there wbb
no more jto givs him, he raised the hammer
above his head, made a motion or two
and at the samo timo calling for more
food. Seeing that they would not givo
him more he lot in on tha top of his head
with tho hammer, dealt several blows
with all hia power, then turned loose and
rolled from tne house top to the ground.
When wo arrived we found him seated
upon the b3d, perfectly calm and without
the least indication of pain. A worse-
looking, more emaciated and bloody men
I novor have eeen. The house top was red
with blood which oarda from his hettd,
while on tbe ground waa a pool of blood
where ho lay after rolling from tho house
top, and yet he lived and showed'no signs
of pain.
As I close my eyes I can eveD see those
wild eyes of his, hia ghastly cad ema
ciated form all covered in gore, over ap 1
peaia before me; thecriesof his mothor
ringiog in my cais. I pray that I shall
never be so unfortunate as to witness
another such scone. / '
Ho haB lived despite of the mighty de
stroyer, dyspepsia; tho hammer proved
too light to take hia life; he falls head-
toremost off of the houae top and yet he
lives.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
P AIN in the right side, under the
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
arc 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 memory,
accompanied with a painful sensation
of having left undone something which
ought to have been done. OA slight,
dry cough is sometimes an attendant.
The patient complains of weariness
and debility; he is easily startled, his
feet are cold or burning, anjl he com
plains of a prickly sensation of the
skin; his spirits are low; and although
he is satisfied that exercise would he
beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try it.
In fact, he 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,
or after taking Quinine. Wc would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them a fair trial:
For all bilious derangements, and
as a simple purgative, they are un
equaled.
