Broad Street Notes,
Among the business men of this city,
none have shown a more enterprising
spirit than George O. Robinson & Cos.,
the proprietors of the “Augusta Music-
House,” whose extensive establish
ment at No. 265 Broad street, is now
recognized as the “head centre” of the
musical interests of our city. Although
the firm has been organized but about
a year, in the language of Mr. Robinson,
“by careful and persistent advertising,
we have done a better business than
was anticipated in the start; printers
ink has done the thing.” The first
feature that attracts the eye, as one
nears the store, is the artistic grouping
of the many beautiful instruments in
the show window, equal in fact to what
can be seen in the store windows of
Baltimore, Philadelphia or New York.
Going up one short flight of stairs, the
visitor enters a splendid store, one
hundred and thirty feet in length,
which contains as fine a stock of pianos
and organs as can be found in Savan
nah, Charleston or Atlanta. The firm
does not confine their stock of goods
to any particular make, for we found
there six different kinds of pianos, in
cluding Hallet, Davis & Cos., W. Ludden
& Cos., Haines and other celebra
ted makes, ranging in prices from
$250 to SI,OOO. In organs, their
is also quite a variety of the Peloubert,
Pelton & -Co., Domestic, Coronation,
Austin and Mason and Hamlin makes.
There is also a most varied assortment
of band instruments, sheet music, musi
cal albums and music boxes. The firm
also supply parts of Instruments, either
for violins, guitars, banjos, etc. A
speciality is, that the latest music can
be furnished immediately and delivered
free of charge at the same price as if
furnished by the publishers. As au
evidence of the appreciation of
prices, the following bands have been
furnished with a complete outfit of in
struments : Augusta Brass Band, Ger
man band of Augusta, Waynesboro
band, and Wiliiston band.
We are glad to note the prosperity
of this energetic firm, because it shows
the benefits of liberal advertising.
A New Book.
Mr. A. F. Pendleton has favored us
with Dr. J. G. Holland’s latest novel—
“Sevenoaks.” The Philadelphia Times
has this criticism of it: “Dr. Holland’s
stories, * Sevenoaks,’ is perfectly harm
less. Yet it has a somewhat mawkish
flavor. The hero, who is also the vil
lain, is a veritable James Fisk, Jr.,with
an ambition, which that famous indi
vidual never was accused of, to found
a theological school, and thus win
golden opinions from the pious. He is
a vulgar scoundrel, without one re
deeming point, and when he is discov
ered and tripped up, as villains always
are (in novels), the reader finds it im
possible to feel the least pity for him.
The only original and interesting char
acters in the book are ‘Jim Fenton,’
the lumberman, and ‘ Kesiah Batter
worth,’ the poor seamstress of Seven
oaks. ‘ Jim’s ’ quaint sayings are the
only feature of the book that lifts it
above the commonplace. With the ex
ception of the backwoodsman, all the
good characters are too truly good to
live iu such a world as this, at least in
such a manner that the recital of their
actions can be in any degree interest
ing to the general public. They preach
on the slightest provocation, and their
‘goodv’ talk is as little edifying as the
remarks which the villain has an un
pleasant habit of addressing to his
mirror. The book is commonplace iu
plot and in style, in manner aud in mat
ter.” We have generally found, on
perusal, that Dr. Hollaud’s books are
a great deal better than the critics who
disparage them are willing to allow.
Clone Glimmering.
Having weathered the Chicago Are,
Duncan, Sherman & Cos., the Bank of
California and several minor distur
bances, the editor of this paper has at
last been obliged to suspend specie
payments, not to speak of rag money
outlays. While Gov. Chamberlain was
shouting in Charleston of reforming
South Carolina, one of his Excellency’s
colored constituents made off surrepti
tiously with our week’s washing, which
represents fifty per cent, of our visible
assets. That "is the last feather that
breaks this camel’s back. We shall go
to bed for seven days to catch up with
the remnaut of our undergarments and
decline to settle with creditors for the
next six months.
Taxes.
John A. Bohler, County Collector of
Taxes, has collected and paid over the
following amounts:
State Treasurer, $35,000
County Board of Education 4,000
County Treasurer 8,100
$47,100
This is not quite up to the collections
of last year, but considering the times,
is a good showing.
The best way is to battle against “hard
times” persistently, unflinchingly. It’s
of no use whatever crying out that
things are at a standstill, aud then
falling back supinely, awaiting the
time when there shall be a revival.
When a quickening shall take place is
dependent very much on the amount
of exertion we make to bring it about.
The more we bestir ourselves the
sooner will it arrive.
By reference to our advertising col
umns, the programme for the first con
cert of the Choir of St. Paul’s Church
will be fouud. Professor Weigand has
direction of the affair, which ensures
success. We have no doubt Masonic
Hall will be crowded on Tuesday night
with a large and fashionable audience.
The latest feature in ladies’ adorn
ments is a silver-plated nickle chatelaine
with chain attached, to be worn at the
belt. As its shape would suggest, it is
designed for the convenient carriage of
the prayer book. This new feminine
toy is in the form of a fancy cross, but
is of course hollow, save at the bottom
of the upright, and the extreme ends of
the cross pieces. This keeps the prayer
book in place.
Very Much of a Father.
Judge A. R. Wright generally excels
in whatever he undertakes. He is emi
nent as an affable gentleman, a success
ful lawyer, an independent minister,
and an entertainiug and forcible
speaker. And now let him be register
ed among the successful fathers, one
distinguished as the head of a “numer
ous family.” Judge Wright is the
father of eighteen children, sixteen of
whom are living. One of them is only
about twelve months old, though the
Judge is some sixty-two or sixty-three
years of age. He is the grandfather or
some twelve or fifteen grand-children.
When the family all get together, which
they do about ouce a year, there is no
larger or happier family circle any
where. Truly has the Judge been fa
vored by Providence.
In reply to the above article from
yesterday’s Commercial, Judge Wright
hands us the following:
Editor Commercial —My friend, the
local, does me the honor of saying I
have had eighteen children, sixteen of
whom are now living. Only twelve are
living. Ido not know whether he is
correct iu the grand-children, as I have
not counted them lately, and the pros
pect in that line is a continuing one. If
lie is correct ho will not be so long.
Without accidents, there will be addi
tions soon, and too numerous to keep
up with without a memorandum book.
My family, as the local iutimates, is a
working family. We are not like Reu
ben, “not to excel, because unstable
as water.” We are a steady-going peo
ple in obeying the Scripture, and espe
cially its first and cardinal command —
“ multiply and replenish.”
My home stock of boys is even ten,
three of whom are now candidates for
matrimony. The fourth, Gen. Robert
Toombs, is “noticing” considerably,
and if he could find a red-headed girl
(his own being of that brilliant and ad
mirable color), a little fast, he might be
oft in a tangent.
Our last baby, the eighteenth, is an
improvement upon any of the forego
ing. Only twelve months old, she talks
and sings. Her black hair, of which
she has a great profusion, falls in curls
upon her neck and shoulders, and
though she is not yet in love, she
shows a great proclivity for the boys,
much preferring their society to that
of the girls.
I was dining a few weeks since with
some lady and gentlemen friends, when
the conversation lulled for some min
utes, and the silence was interrupted
by our admirable hostess, with the odd
question, “Judge, how many children
have you had ?” “Only 18,” was the
prompt reply, “but our youngest is only
ten months old, and wife and I think of
having a family if we live long enough.”
My lady friend looked serious the re
mainder of the evening. Whether it
originated in a feeling of envy, for it
was evident from her age, she could
never catch up, or the responsibilities
with which she supposed her friend
overwhelmed, I could not tell. There
were a half dozen girls, that would
utter a suppressed sneeze occasionally,
that made me believe there was some
thing funny in the idea, though I could
never see it.
My wife has been, and is still, a good
looking woman, though getting a little
gray. Privately, though she seems in
different, she is as proud as Lucifer of
this last one. If you desire to find a
resting place in her heart, casually
mention its beauties, and wind up by
saying “it is the image of its mother.”
You are embalmed. No need of linen
and spices.
When I told her, a few days since,
that Sarah was 90 and Abraham 100
when Isaac was born, and if we lived
we could beat them, and give them two
in the deal, she “ smoleda smile ” that
indicated it tickled her from centre to
circumference.
N. B. —Do you keep that local off of
the subject of children. “ He’ll get
liis foot into it if he don’t mind.”
[Atlanta Herald.
A Prayer that Created Unpleasant
ness Among the Sisters.
[Bruuswicker.j
They came near having a row in a
colored prayer meeting at Keytesville
a few nights ago. One of the sisters,
who had a grievance prayed :
“O, Lord ! look down Dy resembled
children hyar dis ebenin’, an’ moob ’em
wid Dy grace. Tetch dyar harts wid
de spirit ob all ’bounding’ lub. Build
up dar faith so strong de debbil can’t
budge it, an’ ’specially would we ax, if
it am possible wid de Redeemer, dat
Dou put a little moah sense into the
objusticated pate ob de yailaw wench
what am a giggling’ on de bench pre
opposite Dy belubbed sarvent.”
“What’s dat you’se sayin’ to de Lord
’bout me?” asked the wench, rising to a
point of order.
Not seeming to notice the interrup
tion, the supplicator continued:
•‘Gib our fool an’ errin’ sister more
disgurnption, O Lordl to see de differ
umce atwixt right au’ wrong, an’ larn
de huzzy to behave herself in Dy holy
sankchooary, ’stead of wrigglum ’round
like she was swallawed a corkscrew,
an’ tamnatin’ dese salted presinks wid
unholy winkins’ atde male an’ masker
line proportion ob dis assembled gath
ering An’ oh—”
“It’s a lie ! good Lord, it’s a lie ! an’
Dou in Dy inflammate wisdom knows I
neber done it!” shouted the traduced
member, who had now become nearly
wild with rage. “Dar’s not one particle
of trootin it. It’s a lie, an’ I can mash
de lies 1”
Then she threw herself over the
bench on to the back of the kneeling
sister, plunged her hands into the
bustle of that devout but indiscreet
person and lifted her up bodily.
Confusion reigned and dire dismay
was in many faces that but. a moment
before were bright with the hope of
Heaven. But a stalwart deacon finally
separated the females, calmed their ex
cited feelings, and addressing the re
lieved audience in an impressive tone,
said:
“Bredereu, it am better dat we dwell
togeder in impunity. Less ’peal to de
throne ob grace dat dar be no moah
such graceful disruption in our midst.
Will Brudder Johnson please make de
’peal in one ob his powerful prahrs ?”
Aud the appeal was well and timely
made.
Election of School Trustees.
The election of one school trustee in
each ward and districts of the county,
occurred yesterday. In the city, it
created little interest, except in two
wards, where a fair number of votes
were cast, as a matter of compliment to
the gentlemen chosen.
In the First Ward, M. V. Calvin re
ceived 60 votes aud F. T. Lockhart 1.
In the Second Ward, E. O’Donnell
received 17 votes out of 30 cast.
In the Third Ward, John S. David
son received all those cast —65 votes.
In the Fourth Ward, Francis Cogin
received 95 votes, ail that were cast.
The gentlemen selected have served
the people as members of the Board
for some time, and that their official
course is thoroughly approved, is evi
denced by the complimentary votes
they have received. In one ward
where a gentlemau’s name was read as
a candidate without his consent, the
present member was re-elected, al
though the name of the gentleman
voted for in opposition belongs to a
gentleman universally honored and re
spected.

Amusements.
A small but very respectable audi
ence, among whom we noticed a large
proportion of ladies, attended the sec
ond performance of Saulsbury’s Trou
badour Company at the Opera House
last evening. It is a matter of regret
that this very superior troupe have not
received the encouragement which
talent should receive. The entertain
ment commenced with the comedy or
“ Little Mother,” with Nellie McHenry
in the title role. The company played
excellently, and the parental anxiety of
Mr. Doubleprong, Salisbury, the lacki
daisieal meanderings of iiis son Chris
topher, Frank Marder, the kindness of
Frank Singleton, John Webster, the
absurd blunderings of Bobby Grimes,
Mr. Wren, the good sense of Kitty
Clark, Nellie McHenry, and love-sick
Fanny Clark, Gertie Granville, received
appreciative applause. The whole con
cluded with the inimitable “Patch
work,” with the objectionable “ local
hits ” expunged.
John T. Raymond will appear here
January 14th and 15th. Edwin Booth
appears January 27th, 28th aud 29th,
opening with “Hamlet.” Both these
gentlemen come here under the man
agement of John T. Ford.
The Savannah News, of yesterday, speaks
of the genuine Buffalo Bill troupe in the fol
lowing complimentary terms:
“ Avery fine audience assembled at the
Theatre last evening to greet the second
appearance of the Buffalo Bill Combina
tion. The performance opened with a
sprightly farce, entitled The Widow’s
Victim,’ In which M’ile. Morlacehiappeared
and, as was the case on the first night, was
welcomed with enthusiistieapplau.se. The
farce was most excellently presented the va
rious characters being well sustained, and
was heartily enjoyed by the audience.
“The entertainment concluded with the
exciting live-act drama, entitled ‘Life on
the Border.’ It met with great favor, as
was demonstrated by the applause of the
house.
“ To-night, the last of this excellent com
pany in our city, will be presented an en
tirely new programme, Including a thril
ling border drama, in whic.i Mile. Morlac
ehi will appear as ‘ Pale Dove,’ an Indian
princess. Buffalo Bill and Texas Jack, and
the other favorites, are of course in the
caste, and a most entertaining evening
may be anticipated by those who attend.
The combination are among the best that
have visited our city, and certainly deserve
a big house on their farewell night.”
The Drama in Paris.
A correspondent of a London paper,
after commenting upon the dismally
low level to which the drama generally
has fallen in Paris, says, that the pro
duction of a genuine comedy or real
farce, with all the elements of a com
edy iu it, deserves to be chronicled as
an event as rare as a sensible political
speech either in or oat of the Assembly.
He then proceeds to remark that the
Palais Royal, of all theatres in Paris,
has fairly put the Comedie Fraucaise
and Gymnase to the blush by the pro
duction of a piece by M. Goudinet,
which is likely to prove au enduring
success, fully deserving it. It is called
“La Panache,” which may be given in
English as “Borrowed Plumes,” and
shows up one of the commonest foi
bles of Frenchmen, with admirable
pungency, raciness and wit. The au
thor deserves credit for leaving the
beaten tracks of Dumas-ism, Sardou
ism, &g., aud striking out anew
line for himself. The plot merits
a description. A fat, middle-aged,
pompous French citizen is married, and
his wife, like many wives of French
bourgeois of that peculiar calibre, is on
terms of extreme intimacy with a
young man of fashion, who hangs on
to the outskirts of official life. This
young gentleman, becoming tired of
liis liason, gets himself made a Prefect,
and iuduces a mutual friend to write
to the lady that “he has been made
Prefect of Ponterisson.” The lady
reads the letter and faints away; in
comes her husband, and picks up the
letter which has fallen from her hand.
He reads it, and jumps to the conclu
sion that “he” is the Prefect. He is
overjoyed, and immediately travels
down to his prefecture to make
himself acquainted with the natives.
A series of most amusing scenes
occur, in which French official
pompousness and bourgeois vanity
are taken off to the life. The news
that the new Prefect has arrived incog
nito spreads through the town, and the
local authorities forthwith proceed to
pay their court; the pompiers give him
a serenade, and just as he is preparing
to take possession of his prefectorial
throne officially, the real Prefect ap
pears in the shape of his wife’s friend.
It may be imagined from this brief
sketch the variety of scenes which keen
French wit can build upon it. Surprise
is said to be felt in some quarters that
M. Goudinet’s play should have been
authorized by the censorship. But the
relish of the public at seeing a sham
Prefect put on the stage so very like
some real Prefects, is described as be
ing so intense that “La Panache” is
one of the events of the day.
Southern Pacific Railroad.
Mayor Estes yesterday, appointed
Capt. James Barrett, J. O. Mathewsou,
Esq., H. H. Hickman, Esq., and Major
George G. Hull as delegates to the con
vention which meets in St. Louis, on
the 23d instant, relative to the South
ern Pacific Railroad. These gentlemen
will attend this convention without ex
pense to the city, as they will be fur
nished with free tickets to and from St.
Louis. Among the advantages claimed
for this road are :
••It will be a great benefit to the Southern
States.
“1. By securing to the Gulf and South At
lantic ports their share of the trans-conti
nental ousiness, to which, as the shortest
line across the continent, they are entitle,!.
"2. By stimulating Southern industries
and the business of Southern railroads, in
enabling Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi,
Missouri and Louisiana to exchange their
iron, coal and sugar for the wheat and
fruits of California and Texas, and the cop
per and other ores of Arizona and New
Mexico.”
Frightened Children.
About 1:30 o’clock, yesterday after
noon, a false alarm of fire was turned
in from box 513 by the janitor of the
Wallack school building. The engines
were promptly on hand, but their ser
vices were not required. Some of the
school children hearing that the build
ing was on fire, immediately made a
rush for the windows and doors, and it
was with great difficulty that the teach
ers could keep them in their seats.
During the commotion, a little girl, a
pupil in Miss Talbot’s school, named
Josie Pistoria, fell down and cut her
right cheek in a very serious manner,
and a young girl in Miss Johnson’s
school, fell to the floor insensible, and
it was with difficulty that she was re
vived. The excitement caused by the
false alarm, among the parents of tiio
scholars at the schools, was intense.—

Personal.
Through the Savannah News, we
learn that William T. Davidson, Esq.,
of Augusta, has been admitted to prac
tice in the United States Courts. It is
not surprising to learn that our friend
Davidson was warmly welcomed by his
Savannah friends, who, in common
with his friends here, esteem him a
good lawyer, a genial gentleman and a
steadfast friend. We are glad to note
prosperity showering its favors on such
as he.
H. Gregg Wright, Esq., the editor of
the Chronicle and Sentinel, has been
selected by Governor Smith as one of
the delegates to represent the State of
Georgia in the Convention relative to
the Southern Pacific Railroad, which
meets in St. Louis on the 23d instant.
Although not an orator, we make no
doubt, the intelligence, good sense and
talents of Mr. Wright will have a
marked influence in shaping the action
of the Convention.
Henry Gwinn, the weli known “pro
fessor” of the art of successfully trans
acting hotel business, called on us yes
terday. The professor is fresh from
the courtly society of Europe, and
brings with him, photographs of some
of the distinguished people of the old
World. He is travelling this way in
the interests of the Austrian restaurant
to be opened in the Centennial build
ings, and goes hence to the State Fair
at Columbia, S. C.
A Warning.—He leaned on the fence,
pouring out warm vows of love and ad
miration to the lovely beiDg on the
other side. It was dark. We could
not see her face, but she said: “Pray
desist. You are too vacillating. Only
a week ago you told that same story
three doors below here.” They parted.

The other day, while a Vicksburger
was riling toward Jackson in his bug
gy, LyU saw a long-haired young man
sitting-on a roadside fence. There was
such ah air of utter desolation about
the countryman that the Vicksburger
drew rhin aud inquired:
“For God’s sake! what ails you,
young man?”
“Nothing, for God’s sakel” was the
meek! reply.
“BAI is any one dead?”
“H.ain’t heard of anybody but old
Matthews, and he went off two months
ago.l
“Are you sick?”
“I | eel kinder bad.”
“Vhil, you look bad. In fact, you
are tie worst looking young man I’ve
seen Mnoe the close of the war.”
“It was all right till a month ago,”
said tlje young man, still more solemn.
“ Wbat happened then ?”
“ Woman went back on me !”
“ Did, eh ? Were you engaged ?”
“ I’d; hung around there for a year
or so jind we’d loved and hooked fin
gers.* ;If that isn’t being engaged, then
I doni’ii know.”
“ A;iid she backed out ?”
“ Well, I’ve been through the mill
myself], I had a woman go back on
me in that way three months ago, and
didu’i lose a bit of sleep over it.”
“ I bin didn’t ?”
“ No; sir.”
“ Vkip, then,” sighed the young man,
as In. [bitched along on the rail, “ the
womiiii you loved didn’t own sixteen
mules j and have a clean hundred bales
of coitDn to sell.”

At the Cotton Exchange there has been
a dull and declining market, as the natural
sequel of the unhealthy excitement inci
dent to the corner of last week. As re
gards the export trade there has been little
of it. The dull foreign markets and de
clining gold premium, acting as a check to
lower prices, have stimulated business to
some extent. Futures have declined in
sympathy with spot prices, and also owing
to liberal receipts at other ports. Ihe
London Times, in its flnancial article, sass
the dealings in the foreign and colonial
markets have been on a very limited scale
during the past week. Sugar is depressed,
and previous quotations, notwithstanding
the reduced stock in market, cannot be ob
tained. Refined sugar barely sold at last
week’s prices.

MIMAS CVlilOPfflllA
NEW REVISED EDITION.
ENTIRELY REWRITTEN BY THE
ABLEST WRITERS ON EVERY
SUBJECT.
Printed from New Type, and Illustrated with
several Thousand Engravings and
Maps.
The work originally published under the
title of THE NEW AMERICAN CYCLO
PAEDIA was completed in 1863, since which
time, the wide circulation which it has at
tained in all parts of the United States, and
the signal developments which has taken
place in every branch of science, literature
and art, have induced the editors and
publishers to submit to an exact and thor
ough revision, and to issue anew edition ,
entitled
THE AMERICAN CYCLOPEDIA.
Within the last ten years the progress of
discovery in every department of knowl
edge has made anew work of referenoe an
imperative want. ,
The movement of political affairs has
kept pace with the discoveries of science,
ana their fruitful application to the indus
trial and useful arts, and the convenience
and refinement of soeial life. Great wars
and consequent revolutions have occurred,,
involving national changes of peculiar
moment. 'Hie civil war of our own coun
try, which was at its height when the last
volume of the old work appeared,
has happily been ended, and a
new course of commercial and in
dustrial activity has been commenced.
Largo accessions to our
geographical knowledge
Have been made by the indefatigable ex
plorers of Africa.
The great political revolutions of the
last ilocade, with the natural result of the
lapse of time, have brought into public
view a multitude of new men, whoso names
are in every one’s mouth, and of whose
lives every one is curious to know the par
ticulars. Great battles have been fought
and important sieges maintained, of which
the details arc as yet preserved only In the
newspa pars or in the transient publications
of the day, but which ought now to take
their place in
PERMANENT AND AUTHENTIC HISTORY.
lii preparing the present edition for the
press, it has accordingly been the aim of
the editors to bring down the information
to the latest possible dates, and to furnish
an accurate account of the most recent
discoveries in science, of every fresh pro
duction in literature, and of the newest
inventions in the practical arts, as well as
to give a succinct and original record of
of the progress of
POLITICAL AND HISTORICAL EVENTS.
The work has been begun after long arid
careful preliminary labor, and with the
most ample resources lor carrying it on
to a successful termination.
None of the original stereotype plates
have been used, but every page has been
PRINTED ON NEW TYPE,
Forming in fact anew Cycloprodia, with
the same plan and compass as its predeces
sor, but with a far greater pecuniary ex
penditure, and with such improvements
in its composition as have been suggested
by longer experience and enlarged knowl
edge.
THE ILLUSTRATIONS,
Which are introduced for the first time in
the present edition, have been added not
for the sake of pictorial effect, but to give
greater lucidity and force to the explana
tions in the 'texL. They embrace all i
branches of science and of natural history, ,
and depict the most famous and remarka
ble features of scenery, architecture and
art. as well as the various processes of
mechanics and manufactures. Although
intended for instruction rather than em
bellishment, no pains have been spared to
insure their
ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE.
The cost of their execution is enormous,
and it is beiired they will find a welcome
reception as an admirable feature of the
Cyclopaedia, and worthy of its high eharac-
This work is sold to subscribers only,
payable on delivery of each volume, it
will be complete in Sixteen Large Octavo
Volumes, each containing about 800 pages,
fully illustrated with several thousand
Wood Engravings, and with numerous
colored Lithographic Maps.
