The writer, having changed his base from the orange groves and limpid lakes of Florida and her soa-washed coasts, to the red old hills of Georgia again invites the reader to accompany him in his rambles, pausing from time to time at some of the innumerable towns and hamlets that dot the lines of railroad which cross and recross .our grand commonwealth in every direc tion. And this time having dropped down the Central railroad from Macon to Tennille md thence proceeded to Sandersville, let us halt for a night at that pretty town We found the people enthused and txcited over the great event of the year, the commencement of their High School. This has been going on for several days and was drawing to a close Having already been anticipated in the local prints, of course we shall not go over the same ground again. Bui; in passing, it may not be too much to say that all the ex excises were highly creditable, and the pro gramme of the exhibition which the writer was privileged to attend was both varied and attractive. The small boys’ drill, “Lighthearts’ Pilgrimuge,” ' The Train to Mauro,” the military evolutions of the girls, the singing, dialogues, etc., were all weli rendered und “cheered to the echo." Prof. Lawson, an old veteran of the First Georgia Regiment, showed by the way he handled these juvenile soldiers of both sexes that the lessons of the war had by no means been forgotten. He is deservedly considered one of the best educators in the State. The average attendance of pupils at the High School during the past year was 185. THE HEW AUGUSTA RAILROAD has benefited or injured Sandersville. The latter view seems to prevail, as much cotton is diverted over that road to Augusta which was formerly marketed there. It is hoped that Col. Alexander will make kuch reductions in to Savannah as will cjjieck this loss to the Central, which threatens to become quite serious. Col. Gilmore and his excellent lady con tinue to be largely patronized, and their house is the favorite resort of the dis criminating traveler. His splendid milch cows and blooded stock are the admiration of all who behold them, and afford an abundance of the richest Jersey butter and milk for the guests of the hotel. TENNILLE. Business was rather quiet in this thriving town, but the merchants are Veil content with the outlook and are expecting an un precedented trade the ensuing fall. They are full of energy and enterprise, and the progress of the place is simply wonderful. Such magnificent crops of corn and cotton have not been seen at this stage of the sea son during the last decade. The former has been “laid by," and recent copious rains will assure a generous harvest. The cotton stands are uniformly good, the fields neatly cultivated and the weed for the most part well grown and fruiting finely. Verily, the time” so long waited for seems to be near at hand. Bo mote it be. THE TENNILLE HOTEL, formerly known as the Franklin House, has been repaired and nicety furnished, and is now r admirably kept by* Mr. H. S. Hatch. The rooms are pleasant and fare excellent. It is the popular hostel of the place. Branching off at this point, your corre spondent traversed the entire length of the Wrightaville and Tennille and Dublin and Wrightsville railroads, and was surprised to pote the improvements that have teen made within a single year. Fifteen sawWnillsand four turpentine distilleries are in operation, and an average of thirty loaded cars pass over the line daily. The road HAS MADE MONEY, but it has been wisely expended in “better ments” such as the lowering of grades, the filling up of trestles and the purchase of rolling stock. It will soon pay generous dividends. To that clever gentleman and man of all work, Mr. W. C. Matthews, of Tennille, the writer is indebted for this in formation and many courtesies. DU ELLIN. This ancient town is greatly elated over its crop and railroad prospects. We were agreeably disappointed to find trade quite active. Every merchant Reemed to be doing something, and one of them, Mr. J. T. Smith, had his store crowded with customers. This gentleman handles most of the wool brought here. The clip will not exceed an average the present year, but commands full prices. There was more money in sight than in any inland town we have seen. This is due to the monthly disbursement of wages to the multitude of lumber, turpentine and raft hands in the vicinity, and the sales of these two leading staples in the market, to say nothing of the wool yield. When the projected railroad to Savannah. Macon and Binningham. has been completed, as it cer tainly will be in the not distant future, Dublin will "be one of the most important trade centres in the interior of Ueorgia. The great want is a COMMODIOUS HOTEL, With all the modern appliances. The fare and beds of the “Troup House," and the attentions of Mr. G. S. Hooks, its genial proprietor, leave nothing unsupplied that the reasonable guest could desire, but he has not half room enough. Dublin met with a serious loss in the re cent sinking, by contact with a raft, on the Oconee, of her only steamboat. But meas ures have boon promptly taken for tho pur chase of another steamer to take its place. In the moamvhile, the accumulation of freight on the river banka awaiting transjtor tation is very heavy. Upon the arrival and departure of every train on the railroad. Mr. T. M. Hightower, with a neat omnibus and strong team, is ready to take all passhii gers to and from tho hotels. The writer tenders y* thanks for courte sies received from the press gang of Dublin. Me spent anight at WRIGHTSVILLE, the county site of Johnson, and found trade dull, hut the.merchants in good spirits and rejoicing at the prospect of abundant har vests. The town is pleasantly located lte ;l rolling pine region, and must bo quite tree from malarial exhalations. But the com munity has been scourged of lata wan measles, succeeded bv virulent dysentery. One citizen in the vicinity buried his wife ami threokhUdren in a single month, and another lost four children from this terrible complication of diseases. An interment nt a child 7 years old took place on the after noon of our visit. The visitation of measles seems to have been general all over the Btate the past spring, and tho mortality Among adults especially oxooeds all prece dent. It is a disease not to lie trifled with, as the-after effects are even more to be feared than the acute attack. A NEW HOTEL Messrs. L. Davis & Brother having pur chased tho “Arlinq. House" and premises, will hrect forthwith anew and elegant hotel with twenty-four rooms, and all the modern conveniences. The contract has already tX‘n given out und the lumlier purchased anil .paid for. These gentlemen ore au large dealers in general merchandise, nils is quite an cxicn-i ve wool market, and many thonsand pounds hit ye been received olid are being baled and Shipped. The town claims the honor of lieing the first in Georgia w tbolish the traffic igfliquor.

This erstwhile capital of the State which is reached by a branch road from Wadley, was in a ferment of excitement on the day ot our arrival. Five thousand people, we are ashamed to say many of them decent looking white females, with, a few young maidens, had come from long distances to witness the lugubrious spectacle. There had not been a hanging here since the exe cution of three negroes for the murder of tneir master before the war, and Jefferson, Glascock, Washington and Burke counties were numerously represented at the gal lows. fhe darkies surrounded the jail and kept up a constant parley with the prisoner inside. One woman yelled out: Whll, Fred, don’t you know me!” “Oh, yes,” was the reply, “you is Sally “How do you feel to-day, Fred!’’ ‘Fust rate,” was the rejoinder. Another solemn looking old fellow asked the criminal “ef he didn’t pray none.” “\ es,” he said, “I prays all de time.” The final scenes at the gibbet have already been given to the reader by telegraph. No stronger argument against public execu tions could be afforded. Many regarded the perpetrator of one of the most diabolical murders on record in the light of a martyr, and sonorous amens and- expressions of sym pathy were to be heard during the utter ances of criminal and clergy from the scaf fold. At the same time there is little doubt that a reprieve from the Governor would have been the greatest possible disappoint ment to a majority of the negroes present. Such scenes serve but to whet the appetite for blood and imbrute the senses of the un tutored masses. While the multitude were witnessing this sickening tragedy from tree top, hillside and every description of vehicle, the mercury stood ONE AND THREE DEGREES in the shade and the sun's rays might have cooked an egg. Louisville boasts a capital boarding house, the Central Hotel, kept by Mr. H. Fay and wife. The latter is a host within herself and is almost übiquitous in the effort to please her guests. On the day of the “hang ing” she performed prodigies. It is an “ill wind that blows nobody any good,” and from sun to sun the merchants reaped a steady harvest of dimes and nickles from the ebony crowd. ‘An agreeable change from the excruciating dullness of the preceding days. The crops in Jefferson county are superb. In Wadley the writer spent the night at the Doha van House which it is always a real pleasure to visit. It is regarded by the drummers as one of their pet stopping places. Trade w r a.s very quiet, but the people are serenely quaffing their delicious artesian and patiently awaiting the opening of the cotton season. BARTOW. We drove over in a buggy from Wadley to this thriving place, which will be incor porated when the Legislature meets. The leading spirit and richest capitalist is John A. McMillan, Esq., who owns tho larger portion of the real estate in and arpund the village, and does an immense mercantile business. Among the recent improvements is the handsome new store of Speir & Brown, which is crowded with goods in great variety. Mr. W. C. Smith has also largelv increased his stock of merchandise. W. J. Evans is the gentlemanly railroad agent and Notary Public, and Mr. George T. Palmer continues to perform the duties of Southern Express agent to the satisfac tion of every one. Two artesiau wells dis pense their pluvial blessings to the commu nity, and their waters are declared to be highly beneficial in all complaints of tho stomach and kidneys. When the town has been regularly laid out and incorporated, its onward progress will receive a great impetus. The Morning News Is the favorite journal here. swainsboro, the seat of justice for Emanuel county, is situated eighteen miles from the, Central railroad, in an elevated and beautiful {line region, with tho clay cropping out to the surface, showing a kind ojid pro ductive soil. It is just such land as can be made, by judicious fer tilizing and tillage, to produce the most surprising results. And this was clearly manifested by the immense fields of luxuri ant corn anil cotton to lie soen on every side. The town lan old one) is connected with the Central by anew railway built by private enterprise ..which is under the man agement of the veteran Youngblood, so long a conductor on the Augusta and Savannah .road. Untrammelled by State or interstate interference, it charge* any rate it pleases. At present the jiassenger is thankful to make the trip for 5 2-10 e. per mile. When the concern is incorporated, however, Maj. Wallace and his associates may have a word to sav in the premises. A NARROW ESCAPE. Recently the train when nearing Swains boro passed over a high trestle and had barolv gotten across when the bank caved, earning with it several arches of the bridge. This was from the lack of braces. They were on the spot 'sit had not been putin place. Now everything is secure. One fa tal accident resulting in the death of a lady has also occurred since the opening of the t-oiui, hflt it was on a hunlier train tie fore the ’imwongw coaches were put on. The road bed seem* to ba well constructed. Swainslioro enjoys an enviable reputation for HEALTH AND GOOD MORALS.

Oua limited space will not admit of any elaborate mention of Milieu aud Waynes - boro. Suffice it to say that the people are greatly buoyed up at the flattering promise of abundant crops since tho recent copious rains.

An im mense crowd is expected, and every prepa ration possible will bo mode for their entertainment. After years of patient perseverance, Mai. AA T . A.

He taps it, however, both with a hand and steam pump, nnd supplies his ? remises with any amount of pure water, tis well nigh tasteless ami inodorous. The Major intends to come to tho front at the State fair with a splendid display of fast trotters and blooded stock At present he is amusing himself with the erection of THREE ADDITIONAL BRICK STORES, which will add no little to the appearance of the town. THE GRAND OLD CENTRAL, uuder the astute management of President Alexander, is realizing the fruition of many of the well laid plans of his predecessor. Never was tho road in better order; never more systematically and economically man aged, and never more profitable. The re cent change of schedule has inured greatly to the benefit of the Morning News, and we thank him for it. It must be to the advantage of any town or city to have its markets promulgated at the earliest moment far and near, and the current news given to the public with the least possible elay. This is what the Morning News under the new arrangement is doing for the city of Savannah and the people at large. H. H. J. A WOMAN AT THE FORGE. She Does the Work of a Blacksmith as Well as Her Husband. A dispatch from Beaver- Falls, Penn., to the Philadelphia News says: A little wo man, fair-haired and blue-eyed, with sleeves above her elbow's, standing before an anvil in a tumble-down blacksmith shop at the outskirts of this town, sturdily striking with a hammer a piece of red-hot iron held by some person on the other side, has often during the past five years attracted tho at tention of passers by “Some flighty thing making believe she is developing ner* muscle,” has been the com ment of careless observers. Those who have taken pains to inquire have learned the story of a woman whose devotion to her husband and children under adverse cir cumstances is worthy of record. In the face of bitter want and privation, the fair haired, blue-eyed little woman stands forth a shining example in an humble way of what woman can do when she will. A BLACKSMITH. Several years ago the family, consisting of Mr. and Mrs. John Murray and five chil dren, moved here from the East, rented a small house and shop near by, and the hus band began husiness as a blacksmith. Mr. Murray was a good mechanic and soon he hail all he coulddo in his calling. At times, though, he showed signs of possessing an education far above that of the common run of mechanics, and people wondered that one of his ability should engage in such an occupation. The wife also showed signs of superior intelligence and education. It was not long, however, before Mr. Mur ray began to neglect his w'ork. In a short time his trade began to fall off and he was reduced to the direst poverty. AA’ith a family of little ones looking to her fdr help, and w ith faith in her husband, Mrs. Murray took her place alongside of him at the forge as his helper, and by her constant presence and cheerful voice, together with the skill she evinced in handling the sledge, soon weaned him from his intemperate habits. hOrseshoer and farmer. This has continued for several years now, and the wife is almost ns good a mechanic as the husband. Constant practice with the heavy sledge has made the once fair arms like those of an athlete, and the big museles stand out like knotted whip cord. In the use of the small hammer she is quite expert also, and during her husband’s absence can do almost any job requiring the skill of a blacksmith. "She can forge a horse’s shoe, fashion the nails also to fasten it to the horse’s foot, and place it there with the skill of a most expert farrier. But this is not all. In addition to assist ing her husband at the forge she has in high state of cultivation about a half an acre of garden truck in the patch which surrounds the house. A large flock of chickens and other domestic fowl grow big and fat in an enclosure prepared for t,heni, and last, but not least, tho five little children, the eldest of w horn is but 12 years old, are comforta bly dressed, well fed, and are being well educated in tho common schools. A CLASSMATE OF WILKES BOOTH. Murray was born and reared in Baltimore, is a graduate of one of its colleges, and was a classmate of J. AVilkes Booth. After leaving college he studied for the ministry of the Catholic church. He abandoned that calling before taking full orders to follow tho profession of an actor, for which he showed marked ability. From the stage drifted to other things, and Anally landed in Beaver Falls. French Women as Gamblers. Paris Dispatch to the London Daily Telegraph. The Paris gambling hells are rather busy just now, more particularly those in which women play. A police inspector and his men made two swoops yesterilay evening. In one place in the Rue de la Terrassee fif teen demi-moridairies were plaving with all their might when the agents of the law en tered the room and seized a sum of about £250 which was on the table, as well as tfce roulette and the dice. A loss important seiz ure was effected in a house in the Rue de Jaequemont, were fifteen females of the fash ionable cocottc tyjxi W’cre at the tables. One of them remarked to tho police that she wished they had put in an appearance on the night before, ns they miglyihuvo hindered her from losing an iiiKigniT Vt matter of £3OO or thereabout. In *. ‘nhtoo about £ls was seized, the woau’nf |J O Jm had time to thrust a good deal of rD° 0 ,- jR and bank notes in their pockets. TU LJhnrietnisses of the hells were arrested,”] .frillwrs being allowed to go away. ThoFjmia for gam bling in belli and on the racecourses which hasTieen develop'd of late years among the Paris courtesans from the mouavette or troltuse of the streets to the dashing Aspa sias of the boudoirs and the Bois, is, accord ing to tho best social authorities, to be traced part ly to the decline in their ignoble earn mgs and jiartly to their desire to kill time, which hangs heavily on their hands. IVe are far from the dazzling demiinondaines described by the younger Dumas in the “Lady of the Canielias," who, like Anna Deslions, literally flung their gold away to show that they despised it, and who, when playing, were absolutely indifferent to their gains or lossee. Nowadays the frail denizens of the Quartier Breda and the Quartior de I’Europe plav methcslicallv and with a ven geance. In the same way they gamble on the turf, and it is even complained by their admirers that they sink their passion for dress and appeal', contrary to all the canons of Parisian millinery, in slovenly water proofs and ill-fitting boots on the Pelouse of Longchamps or Chantilly, so absorbed are they in their betting speculations. “I want solne NOZODONT,” said he.
