Charles Waller, the very obliging

Seasonable.
A large amount of wood has been
placed in the hands of the city author
ities to distribute to the poor. It
amounts to about one hundred cords,
and consists in part of old ties from
the Georgia Railroad, Judge King pur
chasing the balance and contributing it
as his Christmas offering. Such a
timely and generous gift deserves all
praise.
But lasting charity’s more ample sway,
Nor bound by tim<\ nor subject to decay,
In happy triumph shall forever live.
Taxation.
In the ordinances reported by the
Finance Committee of the Common
Council, agents as well as dealers in
sewing machines are to be taxed SIOO
a year. Cotton dealers, photographers,
doctors and lawyers are also added to
the taxed roll. There is also the im
portant amendment to the tax or
dinance, that in the oath taken by
tax-payers, they are required to swear
that they have not transferred or
caused to be transferred any property
to avoid taxation.
Commendable Action.
The Young Men’s Christian Associa
tion has made arrangements to fit up a
fine hall over the office and store rooms
of George T. Jackson & Cos. The hall
proper will be 125x32 feet, and
reached.from Jackson>treet through
a door five feet wide. The hall will be
well lighted with gas, and by an ar
rangement of folding doors, suitable
ante rooms will be provided for. The
hall will have every convenience ar
ranged to carry out, in a suitable
manner, the objects of the Association.
This provision for a want so evident to
all who feel interested in the welfare
of young men cannot fail to meet with
hearty approval. The hall will be ready
for occupancy in about a month.

Five men from each organization will

while shooting for the prize, and will
commence at two hundred and ad
vance to one hundred yards, each man

range the order of firing of the teams.
On Sunday last, a change of schedule
took place on the Charlotte, Columbia and
Augusta Railroad, or, rather, the day trains
were taken off, leaving only the nigat trains
to run. At present, therefore, we canfgo
to Augusta by rrilroad only early in the
morning—the down train passing Pino
House at a quarter past seven; and to
Columbia only late in the afternoon, the
up train passing Pine House about six
o’clock. We can reach Augusta at 8% in
the morning and return at 4% in the after
noon; but in going to Columbia, on busi
ness, however slight, now be oblig
ed to remain two nights, and make.n. fright
fully early start upon our return. And
this arrangement'will bring us our mail at
8 o’clock at night—the newspapers reach
ing us twenty-four hours, you may say,
later than in the past. Thi3 is bad, very
bad. If the road runs but one train a day
at this season, we fear it will run none at
all in the Summer.— E tgefleld Advertiser.
Since the change of schedule referred
to, the complaints have been numerous.
Yesterday, Gen. D. M. Du Bose, of
Washington, Ga., complained very bit
terly of the matter, as did many other
passengers who were detained in mak
ing connections.
Even the Hon. George H. Pendleton was
compelled to submit to the infliction of the
inevitable excursion up the Augusta canal.
The canal is probably a good thing for Au
gusta, but what will strangers come to
think of it ?
The Augusta rats are high-toned enough

Just so. Augusta is Augusta, and
there is cause for congratulation that
it is not the other place so kindly re
ferred to recently in the editorial cor
respondence of the Macon Telegraph,
dated from Savannah.

WAS IT MURDER ?
A Girl’s Body Found in the Canal—
The Coroner’s Jury Say She was
Murdered —A Mysterious Case.
Yesterday morning, the body of
Mary Taylor, an idiotic colored girl,
about sixteen years of age, was found
in the canal between the flood gate and
Granite Mills. It was at first thought
she had fallen in and drowned, but the
discovery of a wound on the back of
her head, changed the impression to
one that possibly a murder had been
committed. It is said the girl has rel
atives living iu this city, but, up to the
time of her burial, no one came to
claim the body.
A jury wasiempannelled by Coroner
Thomas A. Kunze, and the following
testimony was taken:
Peter May, testified—About seven o’clock
this morning, as I was coming to open the
mill, someone called to me and said there
was a woman drowned in the race; I saw
her lying on her breast on a cross piece of
timber in the water; I saw a place in the
back of her head as if she had received a
blow; I called to J. Evans, John Moore and
others; then she was taken out of the water
by us; I found her hat between the canal
and mill, in the water.
John Galloway testified—l came down
the canal this morning before six o’clock
and I saw the body of Mary Taylor rise to
the top of the water; her head came up first,
then the body floated on the surface of the
water; I called to the mill-hands and told
them there was a woman drowned; then
Peter May came and had her taken out;
then I left to notify the Coroner.
Daniel Little testified—l am watchman
at the Granite Miils; had not seen Mary
Taylor about the mill; I was at the mill all
night, and left this morning about half
past six o’clock; I heard last night, about
nine o’clock, someone hallo: I was in the
mill and came out; did not hear it again; I
saw no one; it was in the direction of the
canal.
Laura Oliver testified—Saw Mary Taylor
yesterday afternoon at the Planters’ Hotel,
about four o’clock.
Dr. M. J. Jones testified—l examined the
body of Mary Taylor, and find a wound in
the back of the head; said wound was pro
duced by some sharp instrument, evidently
with a heavy blow, as the occipital bone
was fractured; in my opinion, said wound
was the cause of the death of the said Mary
Taylor.
The evidence then closed, and the
jury returned the following verdict:
“We, the jury, find that the de
ceased came to her death from a
wound inflicted by some sharp instru
ment in the hands oLsome person or
persons unknown to us.”
Meeting of Council.
A called meeting of the Council oc
curred last evening. Present—Mayor
Estes, and Messrs. Meyer, Sibley,
O’Donnell, Evans, Pournelle, Philip,
Young, Bennett, Hill, Walker, Foster
and Thompson.
The reading of the minutes was dis
pensed with.
Mayor Estes announced that the
meeting was called for the purpose of
considering the subject of taxation, etc.
The license ordinance, as reported by
the Finance Committee, was then read
by the Clerk.
Mr. Sibley moved that the rules be
suspended and the ordinance be read
the second and third times.
Mr. Philip objected, as he said he
was not in favor of the ordinance as re
ported, and under the rules the motion
went over to the next meeting.
The tax ordinance was read; it was
only read the first time. The ordi
nance to regulate the salaries of the
city officers for the year 1876, was read,
and laid over.
Mr. Pournelle moved that the ordi
nances be printed, and a copy be fur
nished to each member.
Mr. Sibley moved to amend by
having them published in the city
papers.
Mr. Young said it wouid save ex
pense not to have the printing done,
but consult the present ordinances;
there were few changes, and thosefinly
of a minor character.
Mr. Pournelle said he was in favor of
an economical administration of the
city government, and wan ted jto save
expense. He would withdraw his
motion to print the ordinances.
Mr. Meyer offered an ordinance,
amendatory to the one in force, relative
to the canal, ordering the removal of
the bulkhead at as early a day as pos
sible. He explained that it was neces
sary to have this amendment passed,
in order to connect the bulkhead with
the tow path. On his motion, the rules
were suspended, the ordinance was
rea'd a second and third time, and
passed.
The Mayor explained that it was
necessary to have another meeting, to
consider the ordinances reported by
the Finance Committee.
After some discussion, it was agreed
to hold a meeting next Wednesday, and
to pass the ordinances on that night.
Recorder’s Court.
It was a busy day yesterday, and the
following cases were disposed of:
Thomas Simmons, Thomas J. Jen
nings, Robert Gamble and Sharpe Gray,
all colored, for peddling without a
license, were fined or repremanded;
James Watson, for raising a row, was
fined $25; Louis Looney and Robert B.
Kune, for drunkenness, were fined
$2.50 each. Total fines, $65.
There’s a little justice left, though
not enough to go round. “Will now
go into executive session for a few
minutes,” is what various hangmen
have had occasion to remark to various
murderers within the last few days. .
The Troy Press says: “A teacher In
one of our prominent female seminaries
on the Hudson, on being asked by a
young lady of her class what pig iron
is, replied, ‘lron given in exchange for
swine.’ ”
A little girl, walking with her father
in the public garden, saw a small white
duck swimming near a majestic swan,
and exclaimed : “Oh. papa ! look at that
pretty little duck with its nurse.
That must have been a beautiful sight
at the Moody and Sankey meeting
when four mothers-in-law arose to pre
sent special requests for prayer that
their sons-in-law might experience a
change of heart.
“Joshua !” said a Yankee mother to
her hopeful, at breakfast, “ what s an
‘ heir-apparent? ’” “There’s one on
the butter, mother,” replied the unfilial
youngster. And the old lady ‘lit upon
him with the coffee pot.
Tweed deserves some credit after all.
He has run away without paying
Lawyer Comstock, who made extraor
dinary efforts to release the old rascal
by law.
Richmond Hussars.
The splendid weather : yesterday,
afforded an opportunity f.r a fine dis
play at the Parade Ground, on the
occasion of the Tournament of the
Richmond Hussars. Liout. J. W.
Clark was in command, assisted by
Lieut. P. L. Cohen. Several carriages
were on the ground, and there was a
goodly number of spectators, a portion
of whom were ladies. The family of
Hon. George. H. Pendleton was on the
ground, and appeared to be delighted
with the affair, as it was the first time
they had seen a Southern tilt. There
was not as large a turnout of the Hus
sars as usual, but those that partici
pated did very well, especially in
horsemanship. The following are the
scores:
Lieut. P. L. Cohen, thirty-four; Color
Bearer C. A. Fleming, forty-six; Sergt.
R. Y.'_ Harris, twenty-three; Sergt. T. C.
Thomas, thirty-nine; Sergt. iJ. A. Do
zier, forty-one; Quartermaster Kirkpat
rick, twenty-niue; Privates Cook,
thirty-four; Jas. Jenkins, seven; Fred.
Little, thirty-six; Joseph Thomas,
(marker), thirty; P. E. Twiggs, twenty
four; J. M. Adams, forty-three; Clar
ence Angier, six; George T. Bryan,
twenty-six; J. D. Twiggs, .thirty-two;
C. M. Brown, thirty-eight; Jeff Thomas,
(marker), nineteen.
Color Bearer Fleming won the white
. plume and privilege of crowning the
“Queen of Beauty”; but being a mar
ried gentleman he transferred the cor
onation honor to Sergeant E. Y. Harris.
It is the first time iu the history of the
Huzzars that one person has won the
white plume at two successive tilts.
The coronation ball came off last
night at the Augusta Hotel, and it was
a most enjoyable affair, and there was
a large attendance of the belles and
beaux. There were also present mem
bers of the other military organiza
tions of the city. Miss Mamie Schaub
was Queen of Love and Beauty ; Miss
Jennie Stovall, Miss Marion Cole and
Miss Eugenia Twiggs were Maids of
Honor.
The subjects of the Queen were nu
merous and loud in their praises of
her grace and beauty, exclaiming, with
the poet:
She moves! life wanders up and dewn
Through all her face, and lights up every
charm.
Mr. Habersham presented the crowns
to the victorious Knights, who in their
turn presented the crown .to the fair
Queen and her Maids, in felicitous ad
dresses.
<*•* ;
Fashions.
There are more novelties at present in
the materials for dress-.es than in the fash
ion of these garments themselves. The
princess dress and the cuirasse basque con
tinue the popular models. The front and
basque bodice of the former are mostly
made of some stately stuff, as velvet, mate
lasse, biocade, damask, etc., with the train
and flounces gros grain silk. Cuirasse
bodies are longer than they were three
months ago, the cuirasse sometimes ex
tending one-quarter of a yard below the
waist all round. This should fie without
any fullness over the hips and tournure,
and the modiste’s great aim is to lit the*
basque smoothly, without making it too
tight.
Trains are narrower than heretofore, oc
cupying now only the space of a half
breadth. Walking skirts should not exceed
three yards around the bottom, and prop
erly consist of one front gore, a narrow
gore on either side, and a single breadth of
wide, and two breadths of narrow material
for the back.
A novelty in dress collars are those made
Byron shape, and there is an effort, where
the dress collar is of velvet, to banish all
white, in the way of lingerie,: about the
neck. It is barely possible this may finally
prevail for street costumes, but will hardly
obtain for house toilets. ;
Many of the new silk costumes are fin
ished with the dark greenish eqek-feather
trimming, as are also many of {he outside
wraps. In these last the large Cloaks con
tinue in favor for middle-aged persons and
for carriage wear, while a variety of fur
lined jackets are introduced for ladies who
are unwilling to have their elaborate street
toilets so completely covered. Among the
imported models is the bebe casque, a short
basque having a basque gathered at the
back in large box plaits, with the fronts
fitting the figure. One of these garments
seen was made of mate Jaase cloth,
trimmed with a band of cock feathers, and
had a large collar of cock feather,}. Another
was of velvet, finished with wide bands of
Canadian sable; wsiile others, again, were
of cloth to match the dresses w ith which
they were to be warn, these last were
trimmed with otter—which, by the way, is
an exceedingly popular trimming;—or with
wide braids. New opera cloaks are made
of a Chinese silk, and are short in the back
and long in front, with square ends. The
sleeves are verv large and are fastened at
the sides with Chinese silver grelots,
which ornaments, assisted with long tas
sels of floss silk, otherwise decorates these
wraps. I jj
Evening dresses are more and more com
posed of light airy fabrics, both ilone and
in conjunction with heavier materials,
while white dresses are considered the
proper thing for very young ladies. The
regular low-necked bodice is Basse, the
corsage being either high about fhe throat
or cut down square, or heart-s|liaped, in
front and high on the shoulders. These
waists lace at the back, and ynay have
either elbow or short sleeves, jor short
sleeves with long lace ones made in puffs.
A recent novelty in passementerie is a
check, half in gimp flowers aiql half in
dead gold. Another, and equally *aew one,
is a passementerie of silver as find as lace,
and used as an applique on velvet-.
Everything soft and cream-oplored is
fashionable this season, and, jn conse
quence, the rage for the cashiqore lace
continues; this is a fine creamy woolen
lace, made in thread lace patterns, and
much used for trimming purpose:!.
The moyeuage girdles are no logger con
fined to links of silver, but ace composed
of jet, shell and English topaz. -Through
these are drawn (in place of the black vel
vet used in the silver ones) failles ribbons,
of propper width, matching the jet. shell or
topaz, as the case may be, in colors; the
pockets attached are numerous: as ever,
many of them being of velvet, with orna
ments to match in material the | links of
the girdle—others, again, are more like
purses, and close with clasps of (silver or
steel. , , :
Fine wool sashes in check-like; tartans,
very long and wide, are trimmed < ! n either
side with a black velvet band, embroidered
with delicate tracings in white silk, and on
one ride only there is a row eft fringe.
These sashes are designed to drape over a
black silk velvet shirt and are qifite effec
tive.
For negligee, the narrow standing linen
collars, with small points turned down and
rolled over, have the preference -aver the
wide turn-down collar—in fact -aire the
favorite style. Lace, crepe lisse i;,ud tulle
ruffles are worn for dinner and evening oc
casions when full dress is not required.
Silk stockings take the shade and color
of the evening dresses With which they
are associated. - | *
That Patriotic “Order.”—Another
mistake is credited to Foster, I;he New
Jersey man who wrote to Mr. | Blaine
that the President is a membe|- of a
secret society, and that he oqght to
join too. The society is not the'“Order
of United American Mechanics’? at all,
but the “Patriotic Order of the 3ons of
America.” The Springfield (Mass.)
Republican remarks that both oft; them
are secret associations of tli|3 kind
which a certain class of American citi
zens have to “have,” like the measles,
some time in the course of their lives.
The “Mechanics” is strictly norf-politi
cal and non-religious in its aim?!, and
numbers about seventy-five thousand
members in the Middle States] But
the “Sons” go for “pure American
principles” and “against foreign} inter
ference.” The whole basis, probably,
for J. Y. Foster’s exhibition of himself
is the existence of this “order.” Prob
ably the President is as innocent of its
dread mysteries as the Pope himself.

Each generation sees some great in
vention which is destined to have a
never ending influence over all succeed
ing generations. Our grandfathers
saw the steam engine invented—our
fathers were the first to see the light
ning chained and made subservient to
man’s use, but it was reserved for the
present generation to witness the
crowning triumph of all ages, and the
most valuable of all discoveries, the
celebrated Homo Stomach Bitters,
which will always be regarded as man’s
greatest blessing. dec2l-wedfr&c

Cut This Out—lt May Save Your
Life. —There is no person living but
what suffers more or less with Lung
Disease, Coughs, Colds or Consump
tion, yet some would die rather thau
pay 75 cents for a bottle of medicine
that would cure them. Dr. A. Bos
chee’s German Syrup has lately been
introduced in this country from Ger
many, and its wondrous cures aston
ishes every one that try it. If you
doubt what we say in print, cut this
out and take it to your druggist—F.
A. Beall and Barrett & Land —and get
a sample bottle for ten cents and try
it, or a jegular size for 75 cents.

INCREDULITY.
HOW potent is this trait of the human
mind. The Bible refers to it and
says: “Were an angel to come down from
Heaven, ye would not believe.” It is the
cause of much injury. We are disposed to
doubt the sincerity of our best friends, and
so far is it indulged, that it often leads to
misanthropy.
This is particularly applicable to the vir
tues of many truly valuable remedial
agents, however strong they may be en
dorsed.
Reader, if you have Dyspepsia, Fever
and Ague, Bick Headache, Torpid Liver,
Bilious Colic, Kidney Disease, Flatulence,
Constipation of the Bowels or General De
bility, and hesitate to use Dr. Tutt’s Diver
Bums, write to him and he will furnish you
with hundreds of certificates from the
most reliable men and women in the coun
try, who have been cured by them, of whom
you can make direct inquiry. It will cost
you but a postage stamp. The proprietor
solicits the investigation of all who need a
truly valuable medicine.
“THE BOYS IN GREY.”
WE were wont to admire the boys who
wore the grey, though it was not for
the grey alone, but for the noble, chival
rous hearts that beat under it. They com
manded the admiration of the true and the
brave in every land. But how few admire
a line head enveloped in grey hair and
whiskers!—very few. We all love admira
tion, and nothing in our appearance is
more calculated to secure it than pretty
hair. If old age, sickness or sorrow has
robbed you of it, you can regain it by the
use of Dr. Tutt’s Haib Dye. Its populari
ty is so great that it can be found on the
shelves of every druggist in the land.

■■■SstTpT^Pnngo.
■■■Flow rate of premiums, and the fact
that the insurance is payable within the
ordinary period of life, makes it
The Most Desirable F rm of
Policy Now Offered
the Public.
The premium is as low as the usual life
premium where the insurance is payable
only at death, or the age of ninety, and
the time for payment of the insurance
ranges from the age of 61 to 73 years; or at
death if prior. This period may be short
ened at any time, at the option of the in
sured, by additional payments for that
purpose.'
To illustrate the difference between this
plan a: and the usual endowments, the fol
lowing is sufficient:
In all Mutual Companies the ordinary
premium at age 41, payable at age 63, is
$42.75 per SI,OOO.
The premium on Endowment-Life-Rate
plan at age 41, payable at age 68, is $32.47
per thousand dollars. Showing a saving
of Twent>-flve per Cent, to the Policy
Holder.
Reasons for insuring on the
Endowment Life-Rate Plan:
Ist. It gives the insurance at the lowest
possible cost.
2 . It provides for your family in case of
death.
3d. It pro vides for yourself in old age.
4th. There can be no loss. In case pre
miums should be discontinued, paid-up in
surance is given for the amount paid in
premiums.
sth. It is better than a savings bank.
The first premium paid secures a fortune,
and if pa\ ments are continued the accu
mulations and amount insured will be
much more than could be earned by the
most fortunate savings bank.
6th. It secures the amount at a. stipulated
age, within the ordinary period of life: and
7th. By this means it is no longer neces
sary to “ die to win.”

HOW AWFULLY CULPABLE
MUS 1' be those afflicted w ith Consump
tion, Bronchitis, Asthma, or any dis
ease of the Lungs, Throat or Chest, who
neglect to use Dr. Tutt’s Expectorant
after reading the following letter, written
by one of the most estimable ladies in the
South:
Savannah, Ga , April 28,1872.
Dr. Tutt In gratitude for the benefit
received by the use of your Expectorant, I
do cheerfully add my testimonyto its won
derful power in curing deep-seated coughs.
For several years I suffered dreadfully witii
a cough, attended wi'li great difficulty of
breathing. I was induced to try your Ex
pectorant, and it gave almost immediate
relief. I took six bottles, and am now per
fectly restored. It is about five months
since I began its use, and I have not had an
attack since. It has been a great blessing
to me; I cannot afford to be without it ana
heartily recommend it to all who have,lung
or throat disease. Very respecl fully,
Mrs. A. M. Wellborn.
