Usry vs. the Georgia Rail road and Banking Company, was called, both sides announcing ready, and some of the evidence given to the jury This is a suit for $16,000. for personal injuries re ceived by Mrs. Usry in alighting from the cars at Clearing. Jailor Birdsong, of Mueon, says the report that the negroes of Twiggs county are in censed at the arrest of Ruffin Rhodes, the negro who assaulted Officer Johnson, and that they are holding indignation meetings and threatening to burn up the houses of the farmers, is not true It is not known how such a report started. A telegram from Jesun was received at police headquarters at Macon Wednesday night to arrest one William Singleton, a one-armed negro, charged with stealing a watch, valise and other articles at that place. By 9 o’clock Officers Johnson and Mathews had him locked up, having found him on Fourth street. The watch was found on his person. Thursday evening, Sept. 15, one of the lar gest camp meetings of the year was held at Hawkin'* camp grounds, in Banks county, near Belton.

Cobb, of Atlanta, has the original draft of the Confederate con stitution us it came from the committee ap pointed to draft it. The paper is u very valuable one, and it is highly prized by Mrs. Cobb.

He was discovered and pulled from the pot by a colored man. w ho says he went under, head and ears. I)r. Benedict attended him ami wrapped him in clothes steeped in oil. Although he is badly blistered, ho is suffer ing hut little pain. Tuesday the home of Capt. W. L. Gor don. who lives about three miles from Rome, on the Summerville road, was con sumed by lire. The house caught from a spark falling on the roof in the rear portion of the hou-e. The family were in the front part and know nothing of the (ire until it was considerably under headway. It was then too late to do anything, and it was im possible to even get, out any furniture. There is $1,600 insurance. The congregation of a colored church on Pbilleiiiiiiu envk. some eight or ten miles from Aniericus, had u baptizing near their place of worship last Sunday, and from the rapid manner in which the programme was carried out it seems that “time was money” with the officiating minister. A gentleman who was present says that the candidates for baptism were formed in line, single file, and that forty-i-'veu were immersed in ex actly nineteen minutes by the watch. This is probably the fastest time on record in this particular line. The boiler of the cooking range at the residence of J. A. Dunwoody, in Vineville, a suburb of Macon, exploded Wednesday with a loud report, shattering the range to flinders and sending portions of it out through tho kitchen window. Mr. Dun woody moved to Vineville Tuesday, and in the removal of the range the apertures in the boiler were closed in some way. Wednes day morning when the range was heated for the breakfast, steam was generated ami the result wus an explosion that did not hurt fitly one, but caused considerable fright. The slow progress being made bv the House in dispatching its business is awak ening a feeling of much concern among tho most prominent members of that branch of the General Assembly. A movement is lx>- ing talked of, the purpose of which is to get together about twenty-live mem I sirs of the House who are regarded as experienced legislators, and see if something can’t Iks done to push the work along. One of the members said: “We are doing literally nothing, and unless we change the order of things mightily, there is no telling when we ■will get away. Thomaston Times: Mr. Eugene Ricliard oon, who not long ago returned from Texas, has a pair of sleeve buttons that are a treasure to those who value relics of that kind. They are made from an osage orange tree on winch eight horse thieves were hung at one time in Fianin county. It seems that the entire gang was captured, and, as is customary on the frontier, they received short shift and stout ropos. They were all hung to the first suitable tree, and someone who knew how such things are valued cut down the tree and made it up into walking canes, collar and sleeve buttons and the like. Brunswick’s sixth artesian well, and the biggest of them all, is flowing at the rate of over 400 gallons per minute, or about 600,- 000 per day. This well, a 4-iiieh bore, was begun by T W. Dexter at the Oglethorpe Hotel a little over two wenlcs ago. It is about 600 feet deep. At 400 feet, the drill pit** was broken and a day was lost in fish ing it up, yet the entire work has occupied only eleven day**. The first flow of import ance was struck at 435 feet, whan protudily 100 gallons per minute was obtained. One day more of drilling In-ought the present flow, which rises nearly a foot above the surface, and it is believed this can lie piped to the roof of the hotel. The preliminary hearing in the ease of W. K. Button charged with killing Robert Mallory a short time ago, at Brunswick, wa, commenced Tuesday, before Justice Loin bright, and Davimpiirt.

Carlton, of Athens, and F. H. ('alloy, of Washington, were among the visiting lawyers court week. The Baptist church, on Sunday last, by un animous vote, called Rev. E. li. Carswell. Jr., to the pastorate of that church for the ensuing year. A man named Roswell wus given hoc. by bis wife to go to Alpharetta and buy some sugar and coffee. Instead of buying tlie needful articles, he fell into the hands of the Philistines and spent the money at a Milton county doggery for whisky. His wife waited impatiently for his return and finally’ started out to hunt him. She hail to pass the doggery and her husband saw her coming. Hnvingsjient the money for whis ky, lie asked the barkeeper what excuse ho must render to satisfy his wife. “Oh,” said the dispenser of the distilled corn juice, “just tell her tiiat you got picked up on a jury, and the jury was thrown into tho cost, and you had to help pay it.” This re markable story was told to the trusting wife, and, being unacquaiuted with the workings of tho law, she believed the state ment. When the Federals came into Macon in April, 1865, they brought a number of ho sts that had lieen worn out or disabled and turned them out to graze or die in the suburbs of the city They were taken jsis session of by the boys, for there were hut few- men at home then, and a few of them managed to keep them for weeks. The Federals would take them away when found after they fattened up and got in condition again. The farmers were at that time in sore need of horses with which to plow, and they never lost an opportunity to secure an army horse whenever they could smuggle it out of town. One of these farmers was K. C. Taylor, of Monroe county. He bought one from a Macon lioy and took his chance iu getting the animal out of town. He suc ceeded, and he lias tiiat horse yet. He pro poses to bring it to Macon during tho fair and let it march in the procession. Robert and Calvin’Autrey, sons of Samuel A. Autrey, aged respectively is and SI, at tended services at Clear Spring’s church, near- Mazeppn. After services were over at tlie church, Robert accompanied a young lady home, and Calvin start/si home alone. There is a graveyard by the roadside, and when Calvin reached the graveyard ho de termined to frighten Robert when he i-amo along, so he pulled off his clothes and put them on again, with the undergarments on the outside. He then took a position in the graveyard to play ghost. After awhile Robert came along and Calvin got down on his hands and knees and liegau moving about and groaning in a sepulchral tone, and making such noises as disembodied spirits are supposed to make in graveyards. He expected to see Robert take to his heels and flwrfor life, but here is where he miscalculated Instead of running. Robert felt around on the ground for a rock, and, finding one, lot drive at what ho suppled to lie some monster, and hit Calvin between the eyes, fracturing his skull and mashing his nose out of shape. He cried out in pain, and Robert recognized him and went to his assistance and helped him home. A physician was sent for in haste to repair damages. The wounded inan is in a dangerous condition, and may die from the wound. FLORIDA. The county jail at Bartow is nearly com pleted. Clay county gave a majority of 93 for Prohibition.

The foundation for tho refinery is being laid, and as soon as that is done the machinery will lie put in position. A part Of this season’s crop of cane will be used to test the works. The works will be covered with O. C. iron of superior quality. Tho truck farmers are preparing to plant more heavily than heretofore. So much for re duced rates and quick time. With our new county, sugar refinery, two new railroads coming in, another just surveyed, new steamboats for the river, new buildings go ing up, large truck farms and sugar planta tion, and fine clay deposit, samples of which can he seen in the shape of the new brick block of Mr. E. N. Foil, just completed, those in Osceola county can well feel proud. ” Letters from the “public generally” have begun to pour in on tlie Railroad Commis sion at Tallahassoe from all parts of the State. It is probable that a great many more of these letters, complaining of dis crimination and high charges, will bo re ceived within the next few days. The Com missioners are seeking information from all sources, and are hard at work analyzing the situation and preparing rates, regulations, etc., in compliance with the law. There has been no intention to shutout the people after thirty days from the date of the notice of the meeting. Letters from responsible par ties inclosing evidence in proper form will receive due consideration, and it is un nee-essary for nil having complaints, and not wishing to present elaborate arguments, to visit Tallahassee. It will be some time yet before the present work will be completed, although the Commissionei-s are making satisfactory progress, and what with subse quent revisions of rates and hearings of com plaints they expect to be pretty busy for the next twelve months. “I Fooled Dat Nigger I” From the Dawson (Ga.) News. Do you know Henry Lewis? No, don’t know him. I will introduce you. He is a wealthy colored man of Dawson, but does odd jobs around the streets just to take ex ercise. He keeps his money deposited in the bank (anil has to work to get it out). Ho is also our chambermaid—tiiat is, he lirings us the fluid for our Sunday morning ablution, shines our shoes, etc. He came up on last Sunday morning looking not fair die is a dark brunette), but altogether lovely. Ho was wearing Ills * little boy’s hat, which reminded us very much of tha little lint that the monkeys wear when they’ dance, shoot the pistol and take up col lections. Henry told us of a good joke on another negro. He (Henry) took on just one drink too much Saturday night, and at a late hour went to sleep, on the front porch of Mr. Christie’s store. After he hod nearly slept off the effects of the whisky he felt something going through his pockets, and kind of opened one eye to see what it was. To his great surprise it was a man searching ills pockets for money Henry considered it one of tlie best jokes of the season, and could hardly keep from laughing. He said to himself “wliar did dis fool nigger come from! shorely lie don’t live bout here.” Henry was afraid that someone would come along and frighten tho would-be rob ber. After the negro had gone through all of Henry’s pockets and could find no money h was looking around in the dark for a board to give him a lick and run because he lrnd thrown away so much time. But Hen rv raised up about that time ami being un able to longer contain himself broke out with a big hu! ha! laugh, and said, “I fooled dat nigger.” The robber left for more lu crative fields. An Ex-Senator’s Modesty. tYom Town Topics. Ex-Senator Conkling’s innate modesty and self-depreciation are—were he the judge— his prominent characteristics. Bonn- years ago, before his association with Boh Inser t-oil in tlie telegraph suits, he is said to have addressed a (Sunday school. As rejxirt goes, he was on one of his canvassing tours—it is unnecessary to state that his own re-election hinged on the result—mid was detained over Sunday in u town where the Republican boss happened to Is- superintendent of a Sunday school. The ox-Sonator, however, was induced to attend the Sunday school and to make “one of the greatest effort* of his life." The “greatest effort" Iving com pleted, many persons were anxious for an introduction, and among the number were a young mothor and her little girl. Tha Senator was complaisant and the mother delighted. “Mary,” snid die to her child, “I do hope that when you grow up you will not for get that Senator (Tinkling, the great Sena tor of New York, ha- spoken to you.” The Henatof’ was toui-hed, a-fii drawing the little girl to him stroked her golden hair. “Ah,” he laid, “Imt 1 wish you stall to remember that there is One who is greater than I.” This story was recently told in the pres ence of several gentlemen on whom the Senator used largely to depend. After a moment's silence one of thorn remarked: “Well, ho must have come down a peg or two.” Removing a Serious Obstruction Qeutly Dynamite anil giant jiowdcr might answer ad mlrably to remove iilmt motions from Hall Gale, in Kant Hiver.

Mme. Blavatoky Comet Back from India to Incredulous London “Mme. Blavatsky has returned to London from India,” writes a London journal. “It is to Ik* hoped she brings with her some new ideas,” adds the same paper, alluding to the theories of the Theosiiphists which she had promulgated upon a former visit. At t hat time her theories, comparatively speaking, were new. Loudon received her kindly anil listened. There was a certain mystical charm about theosophy; it sprang from the dreamy religion of Buddha, it prom ised much to weary, earth-bound men and women, and it touched gently upon spiritualism, the border-land of mystery, on the best and higher phases of spiritualism, not the table dancing, vulgar business or the ungrammatical mes sages from dead Macaulays and troubled Websters, but the phase that permitted ec static souls “toshake off the dull envelope of clay and mingle in an entranced union with souls kindred to theirs.” Then Mme. Blavatsky was backed up by able enthusi asts. Col. Oleott. a writer of ability in the line he has chosen, accompanied her; Mr. Mohini, a cultured Indian gentleman, up held her, and at Mr. Sinnett’s house she stayed, and in hor drawing-rooms held re ceptions conjointly with her hostess. The apostles of the new creed were widely different both in appearance and character. Mr. Sinnett, quick, nervously thin, known by his hooks, "The Occult World,” “Esoteric Buddhism" and “Karina,” was an earnest, though logically weak, expounder of tlie doctrines he believed, a truthful man wan dering in a maze of Indian theology. Col. Oleott, an American gentleman, as earnest as his host, but of a Stronger and more self reliant character. Mr. Mohini, a Buddhist pure and simple, a lay priest of the order, conscientiously fitting himself for its higher offices, a thoughtful scholar, whose mind outstripped his bodily achievements, aud, it must lie confessed, its common-sense re quirements—l allude to his fasting tenden cies whereby his trances were self induced —ana behoved in. Mrs. Sinnett, a lady-like, refimsl woman of the world, neglectful of none of the convenances of society and only following where her husband led, and Mme. Blavatsky, round faced and bnght-eyed, shrewd and full of vanity, fleshy and good-natured, but with manners that left much to tie desired; her ridiculous magical assumption was one of the early erroi-s that, helped to bring dis credit upon the good faith of tlie proceed ings. Prof. Max Muller, whom I met there first, listened politely, smiled, said lit tle, and never went there again. Prof. Barrett (Dublin), member of the Psychical Research Committee—before tiiat body re nounced the Theosophlsts and all their works —was a more constant visitor, but while he was practically trying to dis cover tho source of certain phenomena, they were unpractically leaving the earth and swimming in the clouds above him. Still, tho receptions continued as merrily as ever and new converts were being added week by week. The papers let them alone, with the exception of the St. James' Gazette, Which attacked them virulently and insisted upon simple tests and other uncomfortable things—that is, uncom- fortable to a liody of ladies and gentlemen who are learning by faith to float in space, to dispatch their souls to distant cities, while their waiting, eumbei some bodies repose in locked rooms, and to feel assured that when thoy die they would enter “Karma;” that is, be born again as a man or woman, it was uncertain which, but probably a woman, and that finally they would enter “Nirvana,” which is a blissful state of doing nothing and being satisfied about it. owing to a trai.scendentnl goodness. Tlie Saturday Review took them up later, and after the manner of that journal, scarified them. But at that time the thing was new, and London, like all big cities with a cultured leisure class, just then panted for a novelty, so it picked up Mr. Sinnett and Mme. Blavatsky, and a London lodge was formed. Tlie inauguration was held in Princess Hall, Piccadilly, and was certainly well at tended, crowded by constantly arriving guests, the fashionably scientific, literary and artistic society, from 9 o’clock till mid night. Tlie theosophical gentlemen spoke from a platform, and Mme. Blavatsky, re gally attired, received with tho eclat of a queen all who were presented to her; by her side stood an Ilindoostaneso hoy dressed in velvet, holding a large silver salver heaped with theosophical pamphlets which were distributed to those whom the lady selected. Possibly it was this grand re ception and the doctrine enunciated from the platform that directed the energy of the press anew upon their doings. They were approached formally by the Psychical Re search Committee, tfieir claims considered, their professions investigated, and their mystical attributes —those of Mr. Mohini and Mine. Blavatsky—finally denounced, not that the doings of the body, albeit uni versity men, influenced the press, who went to work independently of the comments of the committee, especially of a committee that might bo suppose 1 to have a fellow feeling for them, occupied, as it is, in sifting the truth of occult phenomena. The result of it all was that Mme. Bla vatsky shook the dust of London from her feet and retired to India. Now she has re turned, and if, as the London paper hopes, “with some new ideas,” we shall probably hear, ere long, whether they are sufficiently startling to resuscitate a dying interest.
