A party who was fighting drunk on tlie
streets yesterday, drew a knife to cut a
policeman who attempted to arrest him,
when the officer gave him a tap on the
head which caused the claret to flow. There
was no further trouble then.

Rev. J. S. Lamar's Lecture.
There was an appreciative audience at
the Y. M. C. A. hall last night to hear Mr.
Lamar, and were highly delighted with
the treatment of “The Silent Depths.”
The unfavorable weather prevented many
lrom attending the lecture who had pro
cured tickets. The general Seretary an
nounced that two (2) gentlemen of the
Medical profession, and two (2) of the
legal, would probably lecture during the
season.
The Lecture To-Night.
To-night the lecture of Prof. Wm. Henry
Peck, on “Tnc Rise and Fall of Cardinal
Wolsey, Minister of the much married
monarch Henry VIII.,” is to come off at
Masonie Hal!. The lecture Is given for the
benefit of the Library Association of Au
gusta, and we can assure our readers that,
aside from the commendable object for
which the lecture is given, they will enjoy
a rare literary treat seldom offered to the
citizens of Augusta. Prof. Peck is a high
ly cultivated and polished gentleman, and
lias lectured most successfully in New York
and other large cities, solely for the benefit
of similar enterprises as our Library. The
attendance will richly repay the refined and
lovers of historical fact, interspersed with
choice humor. Seats only twenty-five
cents.
The Magnolia Route.
Invalids and tourists who contemplate a
winter residence in South Carolina or Flor
ida should take the “Magnolia route,” bv
whi&i they can visit the historic points of
Lookout, Kenesaw and Stone mountains,
Chattanooga, Atlanta, Augusta and Port
Royal, This route conveys invalds to Ai
kten> flic treat sanitarium of the South, and
l>y the shortest and most comfortably
equipped route to Jacksonville and other
points iti Florida. The entire distance from
any connecting point can be traveled by
day or night, good hotels being accessible
ruid Pullman ears being provided on all
night trains. Parties leaving St. Louis at
8 o’clock in the evening arrive at Augusta
in thirty-six hours, and there make close
connections for other points. Through

ror in original poetry by saying: “In the
third line of the third stanza read ‘trusted’
instead of ‘busted.’ ” After all the error

while to disturb poetry for a little thing
like that.

—‘‘The river flows with eohoing sound
Through scenes the soul remembers,
The autumn winds wail lonesoinely,
O’er graves of dead Decembers,
But up on high above the mists,
That lower and hover o’er us,
A rainbow beacon leads us on
To hopes of Spring before us."
—ln the line of hosiery there is new
vent for extravagance. It 5s now necces
sary for a lady to be careful in separating
her stockings from her neckties, as they are
enough alike for a mistake lobe made in
using the stocking around the throat—
though the neckties could not be used for
a stocking, unless, to use a slang phrase, the
lady should put her foot in it. See Tom
Anderson’s show windows.

Reception of the Remains of a Noble
Youth Who Sacrificed His Life at the
Post of Duty.
The body of Mr. Charles M. Hitt, arrived
on the train of the Port Royal Railroad
from Savannah yesterday afternoon, and
was received by relatives and friends
at the Union Depot. Mr. Hitt wa3 the
young man who, with a young friend,
stood nobly at his post in Savannah
when the yellow fever was at its height,
and at last both succumbed to its ravages
and died. So noble was the conduct of
these young men, and so self-sacrificing in
the performance of what they considered
their duty to suffering humanity, with cer
tain death staring them in the face, that
even an enemy, if they had one, was com
pelled to accord them just praise.
Some of the leading journals in the Uni
ted States heard of their conduct and spoke
in high terms of them. Mr. Hitt’s funeral
will take place at ten o’clock this morning.

For Tax Collector.
Mr. Editor: The announcement that
the name of Dr, Robert M. McNair as a
candidate for Tax Collector will be pre
sented to the Convention I feel certain will
be received with pleasure by a iarge num
ber of the people of Richmond county. He
is well known to our people; is a graduate
of Emory College, Georgia, and the Nash
ville Medical College, and also attended ono
course of lectures in the Medical College of
Georgia. He is a man of incorruptible
honesty, firm In his judgments, but careful
in his speech, and for many years has gone
about doing good in his calling as a physi
cian.
He has always felt a deep interest in the
well being of old Richmond, and when
needed gave of his time and substance to
accomplish her redemption. There is no
man among her citizens who will do greater
honor to the office his friends seek for him,
or more conscientiously discharge its duties
than he will.
The Democratic Convention soon to as
semble cannot do better than to call him to
bear its standard for Tax Collector of Rich
mond county. Country.
Y. M. C. A. Business Meeting.
Owing to Hit lecture of Prof. Peck to
night, the Y. M. C. A. business meeting is
postponed until further notice.
To be Checked.
A policeman will hereafter be about the
Post Office every evening while the mail is
being distributed, to keep iu check a crowd
of mischievous boys who have of late been
in the habit of congregating there at that
hour and playing tricks on different parties
waiting for their mail.
Freezing and Muddy.
After a slow freezing rain, which com
menced to fall about midnight of Sunday,
the sun began to show its face about 11
o’clock yesterday morning, and the weather
moderated considerably and became quite
pleasant. The mud on tlie streets, how
ever, was plentiful and disagreeable. The
chain gang was engaged in detachments
during the day in cleaning off the crossings
( which did not appear to bo in tlie best of
order) on the principal streets.
Accidentally Shot.
A young son of the late Peter Sherou,
aged about thirteen years living on Fen
wick street, near the Augusta Factory, was
accidentally shot in the stomach yesterday
morning, by a pistol which he had in his
pocket. Dr. M. J. Jones was called iD, but
up to yesterday afternoon it had not been
determined whether a flesh wound resulted
from the shot or that the ball had pene
trated the bowels, hence it was not known
whether it would prove fatal or not.
Death of Mr. E. B. Pierce.
Sunday night Mr. E. B. Pierce, a well
known and respected citizen of Augusta,
died about half-past twelve o’clock, of con
sumpton, at his residence in this city. Mr.
Pierce was the father of Will F. Pierce, one
of the popular young clerks at Pendleton’s.
Mr. Pierce was forty-three years old and
a native of Philadelphia, but had been a
citizen of Augusta twenty-two years pre
vious to his death. His funeral was attend
ed by a number of friends and acquaintances
at eleven o’clock yesterday morning at tlie
Christian church.
At the Opera House.
The Olympic Combination gave tbeir
first entertainment at the Opera House last
night, to a much larger audience than could
have been reasonably expected, owing to
the inclemeut weather. While some features
of the entertainment were good, it would
be well If others were overhauled and im
proved. The contortionist and whalebone
men were real good—especially the latter.
The show consists of a variety perform
ance, with some pretty fair acting. The
portion of the troupe are pretty well up in
their parts, especially Mani Donaldi, the
Fairy Queen. In figure and dress she is
faultless. “Old Black Joe’’ was a botch,
and should be abandoned. Songs so-so.
The transformation scene at the close pas
sable. It is safe to predict that, with suf
ficient encouragement and plenty of prac
tice, the New York Olympics may yet make
their mark. An entire'change is promised
for to-night, which is the last appearance.
—“Thanks!” It is a vile phrase, but one
that is heard everywhere. Give a lady a
seat—“ Thanks!” (sometimes). Give a baby
a toy—“ Tanks!” Give a smoker alight—
“ Thanks!” Two ladies meet —“How’dy?
thanks!” Two men part—“Ta! ta! thanks!”
Jane takes a basket to Bridget —“Thanks 1”
Jones treads on Smith’s corns—“ Hurt you?”
“No—thanks!” Not a word, syllable or
letter more or less than “thanks!” for any
occasion, and “thanks!” everywhere. By
and by the kicked dog will howl “thanks!’’
and the cat whose caudal appendage has
been rudely pulled will mew “thanks!” It
Is time such “thanks” giving was over.
BREATHING HIS LAST
Death of a Stranger in a Strange Land.
About nine o’clock last night Mr. O. C. j
Tilloltson, of Lennox, Massachusetts, died
at tlie Globe Hotel, in this city. He ar
rived in AugUßta some ten days ago from
the North,, the victim of that insatiate
scourge—consumption. He left the frozen
hills of his native home for the balmy and
more congenial clime of Florida, where in
stinctively turns the eyes and thoughts of
the unfortunate victim of this disease, in
hopes of a restoration to health and vigor.
In coming on Mr. Tillottson contracted a
cold about the beginning of the present
severe snap, and could get no further south
than ‘.his city. He was fortunate in ob
taining a resting place at the Globe, where
kind friends, though strangers, did every
thing in their power to alleviate his suffer
ings and prolong his life; but to no effect.
He died, as above stated. His remaius
were taken in charge by Mr. O. A. Platt,
who will care for them until his friends and
relatives at the North can be informed of
his death. They were telegraphed last
night.
P. I. NOTES.
Prof. Peck to-night.
It looks as if Tice had been bull-dozing
the weather.
Randall is forty-eight, and the Radicals
hate him like forty.
The Returning Boards are generally made
up of hard knots.
The prodigal son’s father re-vealed liis
affection by killing the fatted calf.
Mr. Browne thinks the insuring of oil
paintings is a sort of picture-risk business.
Vanderbilt lias been sitting up chatting
with his physician. He is likely to outlive
another doctor.
A Wisconsin couple named their sixth
boy “Enough.” —[Boston Post.] They
should thought of that sooner.
Grant us, O Lord, peace and freedom till
Grant gets out of office. Lord look upon
him and see what a bulldozer he is.
Asa general thing, the men who shout
for another war are the ones wlio didn’t
have anything to do with the last.
As Chandler’s bulldozing dog was run
ning away with the Louisiana bone, an
Oregon lobster clamped liis tail in its jaWs,
and now “that dog is in pain.”
None should fail to attend the lecture of
Prof. W. Henry Peck, to be delivered to
night, at Masonic Hall. Price, 25 cents.
For the benefit of the Library Associa
tion.
Robert Heller, the magician, once made
the following clever epigram on himself:
“Shakespeare wrote well,
But Dickens wrote Weller;
All magicians are hell,
But this one is Heller.”.
Mr. W. J. Lattice presented the Melho
dist Church of Louisville with a stove some
time ago, but it has not been put up, and
some of the members of that church have
to carry hot bricks with them to church in
order to keep comfortable during service.
The Boston Herald's arithmetic mau has
made a calculation that since a Philadelphia
horse-car conductor has been sent to jail for
four months for stealing $1.50, Tweed’s
term of incarceration, according to the
rule of three, should be about 1,500,006
years.
Nashville American: L. A. Cronin, the
Democratic elector in Oregon, whose vote
has elected Tilden and Hendricks, was, in
1860, a clerk in the Adams and Southern
Express Office in Nashville, and boarded at
the time with William Farrell. He is a
naturalized Irish citizen, a man of fine ed
ucation, and has plenty of nerve. Men of
his character don’t count out worth a cent.
With admirable foresight, Mr. Rose, of
Brooklyn, leaves a will containing the fol
lowing passage: “Since 1 lielieve that
married life is best for mankind, I beg my
dear wife to try not to be hindered by any
false romantic ideas from remarriage after
my death, if she finds a man worthy of her,
and request her to accept as a wedding gift
from me, her first husband, who leaves her
more than he can express in words, the
sum of SIO,OOO, to hold and own forever.”

indisposed, his voice being quite feeble,

which have produced good impressions.

nified their intention to transfer to
other Conferences, under the call of
Bishop Pierce. He stated again to-day

sustaining.

rin, Missionary Secretary, and Dr. Hay

Further comment ou the virtues of this
valuable medicine would seem unnecessary.
The above testimony from Bishop Fierce
expresses the sentiments of thousands of
others who have used this simple medi

which this Mass is used, with the same
satisfactory results, and taueuiaily in Fe-
