The cyclone which started in the Gulf of Mexico Wednesday morning was central last night off the coast of Maine. The ba rometer is highest in Texas. A decided cold wave is moving across the country, and last night’s signal service report* show that the temperature over the entire country, us far south as Augusta, ranged from 20' to 50’. The probabilities are that frost will lie rejxirted to-day from stations in the northern and central portions of the .State. At Marquette. Mich., last night snow was falling. Chicago and Bt. Paul and Duluth. Minn., reported temperatures below freezing. The cold wave started some days ago in tlie Northwest and moved South to the Texas line, and is now moving rapidly Eastward. It begau to be felt here last night, and unless its progress is intercepted to-day a light frost may be looked for to morrow morning. The minimum tempera ture here yesterday was 57". The maximum was 70", a range of 13’. The mean tempera ture was 1* lielow the average. The aver age for the Havannah district of the cotton belt was 65’. ODD FELLOWS BRANCHING OUT.

KEENE’S “RICHELIEU.” Another of the Tragedian's Strong Characters Presented. “Richelieu” was the play at the Theatre last night, and Keene's audience was fully as large as on his opening night. The per formance was of the highest order, the tragedian playing his role with power and grace t hat gave evidence of his great ability. His portrayal of the character of the old “Cardinal” was one of his best efforts, and he was ably supported by the strong company that is with him. The entire play is a succession of strong situations and powerful scene, and no one but a great actor could carry the part through, but Mr. Keene sustains it in a masterly manner, and his sudden changes from the powerful statesman to tbe weak old man are as wonderful as they are natural. The scene in which “De Mauprat” appears with the purpose of as sassinating the Cardinal, is one of the strong est in the whole play, and Mr. Keene's act ing in the dosing scene is grand. Mr. Joseph AVheelock, as “De Mauprat,” had the opportunity that the audience wished for, viz: to show his ability. He won great favor, arid was heartily appreciated and applauded by his hearers. Arthur Elliott, as “ harodas,” was as scheming a villain as could well be found about a court, and Adolph Jackson as Louis XIII. was as much a tool as a vil lain could wish for. Eugene Moore as "Francois” played his part with excellent judgment and marked ability. Miss Annie iioyle as “Julie de Mortimer” was strong in her port. The miseries of the unhappy “Julie” were well brought out, and Miss Boyle won hearty applause. Prof. Dahlbergr’s Recital.

Matter* of Money and Management About Various Lines. There is a growing deiuauu in the North for Georgia pine ties. The West Shore and Buffalo railroad are buying them at $1 per tie. The Richmond and Danville people are after the Port Royal aud Western Carolina system of the Central, and the rumored scoop of the Carolina roads is the talk in railroad circles. It has also been rumored that tbe Clyde syndicate is working to con trol the system from Port Royal to Spar tanburg. A correapoudeut thus describes the meet ing of tbe stockholders of the Duck River Valley narrow gauge at Columbia, Tenn., when they were considering the transfer of the capital stock to the Nashville. Chatta nooga and St. Louis Railway Company: “Speeches, epithets, fights, and running over men and chairs made things so perilous that your i-orrwtpondent thought it un healthy to attempt an entrance. We re mained up stairs in the same building, and heard tbe lawyers roar. As soon as Mar shall county's pugilists leave, and if they do not do up tbe secretary and chew up the books. a report of the proceedings will be sent in. In the ineloe W. N. Clowden and Clint Armstrong, attorneys on opposite sides, clinched, aud when these two heavy limbs ot the law made for each other, the hall was quickly cleared. Two other gen tlemen also tried to comb each other’s bead with chairs.” JUDGE WALTER T. COLQUITT. How He Astonished an English Trav eler by His Versatility and Power. From the Hamilton Journal. Judge Colquitt was a young man of won 'derful versatile talent. He was a superior and profound lawyer, a popular and unsur poaed stump orator and a very eloquent and instructive preacher. One one occasion an English nobleman was traveling through this country and made some stay in Colum bus. Huperior Court was in session and the Engbshinan was curious to see how our courts were conducted, so he went to the court house. A murder trial was in prog ress, and Judge Colquitt was, as usual, in the defense. He made the concluding speech, and for two hours he thrilled the court, jurors and spectators with his burn ing eloquence. The Englishman was charmed, and had many questions to ask about the eloquent orator, and sought his acquaintance. On next day the Englishman learned that there was to be a political meeting that night at Temperance Hall. Being curious to know something of the political methods in America he decided to attend. The meeting was organized by a chairman and secretary, and Judge Colquitt was called for a speech. He ascended the platform with a grace peculiar to himself and enter tained the large audience both bj - argument and anecdote, and all were much interested and often convulsed with laughter. Poli tics was the Judge's great forte, and gave him his fame in the United States Senate. On the succeeding Sabbath the English man attended services at the Methodist church, aud a* the regular pastor was absent at conference. Judge Colquitt filled the pul- Eit. His text was: “What is Truth?' and inguage fails to convey any adequate idea of that sermon. The Englishman was pro foundly astonished, and exclaimed to a friend: “Are the Americans all lawyers, all politicians and all preachers' If that man was in England, we would make him Lord Chancellor.” Odd Forms of English. From Chambers' Journal. Curious ways of expressing ideas in En glish may be expected from foreigners, as. for instance, when tbe Frenchman, who jwid a call in this country and was about to be introduced to a family, said: “Ah, ze, ladies! Zen I vould before, if you please, vish you to purify mine hands atid to sweep mine hair.” But the various nationalities of tbe Brit ish Isles are sometimes not a whit behind in verbal bulls aud blunders, and in what may generally be described as odd ways of put ting things. It is said that when Consta ble's aunt was dying the good, deaf old lady said: “Anne, if I should be spared to be taken aw ay I hope my nephew will get the doctor to open my head and see if anything can be done for my luAring.' A Paisley publican was complaining of his servant-maid that she could never be found when required. “She'll gang uot o’ the house,” said be, “twenty times for ance she'll come in.” It must have been a relative of his who aroused her servant at 4 o’clock with: "Come Mary, get up. Here tis Monday morning, to-mor row is Tuesday, the next day’s AVednesday —half the week gone and nothing done yet.” Taffy ofteu plays amusing pranks. with the queen's English. A AYelsh landlord, who for some time had been annoyed by an obstreperous guest, walked across the room to him, and, striking the table with his fist, shouted very' volubly: “You haf kick up a row all day here to-night! AVe was not interfere with you. do we! Efery ruan here mind his own bizness: yes, by jing! no.” -jat, of course, is proverbial for his elo quent, if rather novel, and puzzling ways of putting things. A retired army surgeon in the North of Ireland had a humorous ex perience of this when often visited by the rieiglilmring jieasaiits, who were anxious to avail themselves of his good nature and pro fessional skill. One applicant for relief de scribed himself as having “a great hilin in his treat, and his heart was as if ye had it in ver hand and was squeezin’ at it.” “Plase, yer honor,” whined a barefooted woman, "I’m in great disthress. I fell down yesterday and broke fire of me ribs, an’, for the blessing of iiod, could ye spare me a trifle!” Another patient said: “Sav in’ yer honor’s presence, me stomach has gone to the wesht of me ribs.” A traveler being on the box of an Irish mail coach on a very cold flay, and observing the driver enveloping his neck in the volumi nous folds of an ample “comforter,” re marked: “You seem to lie taking good care of yourself, my friend.” “Ob. to be sure I am, sir,” answered the driver: “what’s all the world to a man when his wife's a vriddy I” Bath Rooms Warm in Winter.

BIG RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION TO BE EFFECTED. The Birmingham and Atlantic Air Line, Birmingham, Georgia and Flori da and Macon and LaGrangre to Pull Together Conference Between the Officials—What is Being Done. Maj. J. A. A. AVest returned yesterday from Atlanta where lie ha-- t<een attending a railroad meeting which will probably re sult in the consolidation of large and im jiortant interest*. The Birmingham and Atlantic Air Line is now building between Savannah and Birmingham, aud the Birmingham, Georgia and Florida, from Birmingham through Southwest Georgia into Florida. The Mo*xm, (jtGrauge and Himiingham people are considering the advisability of building a line parallel to the Birmingham and At lantic Air Line. The road has been a rival of tbe Air Line from the beginning, but it is probable that the days of rivalry are post. Messrs. Montgomery, Wallace and Jack son, of the Birmingham. Georgia and Florida: Lang ley and McFarland, of the Macon, LaGrange and Birmingham; Searcy. Truitt and Render, of the Air Line and Maj. AVest, of the United States Construction Company, met in Atlanta on Monday. Col. J. L. Warren, of the Savannah, Dublin and Western, and Mr. Dudley Hughes, of the Dublin and Macon, were present, but did not officially appear. a their interest* were represented by the construction company, which is carrying out their contract*. TO CONSOLIDATE THEIR INTERESTS. The subject of the meeting was to discuss the advisability of consolidating all tbe various interests and drive out rivalry by operating under one company. Tbe Macon, LaGrange and Birmingham cannot ad visedly build a line if the Air-Line is put through, vet the Air-Line would be greatly benefited if it had the assistance instead of the opposition of the .Macon, LaGrange and Birmingham people. The Birmingham, Georgia and Florida will build east to the Chattahoochee river, crossing at West Point, but if they run the line a little little further north, so as to cross the river higher up, the Air-Line could use its track from the Chattahoochee to Birmingham, and thus save tbe building of about eighty miles of road, while the Birmingham. Georgia and Florida would uot increase the length of their line but a few miles. A consolidation would there fore be to the interests of all, for the pro jectors of the Birmingham, Georgia and Florida would have an outlet to deep water, which is the great desideratum in Birming ham, much sooner than otherwise. The Macon, LaGrange and Birmingham would get into the field, and the Air Line would receive benefits from both. A POWB&FVL COMBINATION. The most important point of all is that each of the Conijianies has enormous sub scription to both its capital stock, and its construction company stock, and if these subscriptions are put together they will make a capital that will lie equal to carrying through almost ant' en terprise that might be undertaken The meeting lasted for several days, and the gentlemen were in conference both day and night. Maj. AVest said he was not at liberty to tell what had been done, but when the gentle men parted it was with the most friendly feeling. The Air-line has its right of way into Sa vannah over all the land through which It desires to run, except over five farms. Two of them are owned by negroes whose hold ings are so small that tbe company will not ask for tbe right of way, but will buy it. The other three are larger tracts, and it is expected that the owners will donate the right of way in a few days. There were four pro[>erty owners who stood out, but one of them wrote to Maj. AVest yesterday and said that after thinking the matter over, he came to the conclusion that the road would be of such great interest to Savannah that he thought he ought, out of public spirit, to withhold the right of way no longer.

Johnson to the Author of the Song. From the Baltimort American. Below is given the letter of Geo. Bradley T. Johnson, inviting Janies R. Randall, the author of the Confederate war song, •'Mary land, My Maryland,” to visit Richmond with the Maryland Line at the foundation of the Lee monument on Oct. 27. As the letter contains a spirited account of an in cident in the history of the Maryland Line, it will doubtless interest many persons in Baltimore: Baltimore. Md . Sept. 26. 1887. .Vjf Dear howiaU: The day I first heard “My Maryland' I remember it. well—a bleak, drear, cofd, gloomy day at Ontreville It v, as twenty-six years I started to write and thank you for it You had done in a breath a song wna; I was striving to do with much labor of stael. You bad breathed the breath of im mortal life into the "statehood” of the State, end Mars land for the flint time became a peo ple—a State. 1 have told you this, but I cannot repeat it too often. You—more than Cecil Calvert or John Eager Howard, or any man who has striven in field or forum for the honor and glory of Maryland have decorated, and illustrated and created a living spirit of individ uality in the State. This spirit is the source of all chivalry, of all devotion to noble ideas -of all aspirations for right and honor. i want to invoke your muse again—not to do anything, for thoughts such as yours, and the thrill and ring of such poetry cannot be evoked. But I give you a fact and a suggestion. At the battle of Cold Harbor, June 2b, 1862. Gen. Jack son ordered me to take the First Maryland in, and wiih' ut any dertnite orders where to go. I asked him which way I should move when I had broken their line. He said: ‘That way," swing ing his right arm at full length from him. The direction. I afterward found, was behind Mc- Clellan s left. Anyhow. I pushed forward toward the place where there was the hottest of the firing, and pressed right iuto the smoke. I found a Fed eral six-gun battery about 1,000 yards in front, and a Federal line of battle in front of the bat tery. in a roadway cut into the ground, which afforded them perfect protection. The fire every instant was heavy, more trying. On my right the troops came rearing hack in the smoke and gloaming iit was just about sundown); on my left the line lay on the ground and began firing. My own line began to tremble, the men to stumble and catch their toes in the ground and in a moment they would have broken—shot and shell screaming over them and musket halls knocking a man out every minute. I sprang out in front of the line, gave the order: “Halt! Attention! fin the centre dress." and then put them through the manual of arms. It was such a relief that they cheered, and at the order rushed forward at a “right shoulder shift arms,” and went over the Federal line and battery without firing a shot. The Maryland IJne have adopted the pansy— pennez a mo t—as their emblem. The Calvert black and orange make it appropriate, and we will fix the pansy as the Confederate flower. The Maryland Line will attend the foundation of the Lee monument at Richmond, Oct. 27. and have directed me to invite you to accompany them as their guest. They have invited Gen. Joe Johnston. Wade Hampton, ex-Gov. H. L. Thompson, of South Carolina, and yourself as their guests, and tender you escort on that oc casion. It will he a pride and a pleasure to us to have you or. that occasion, my dear Randall, and you must arrange to come here and go with us, or meet us there. We leave Union station at 11:30 p. m.. Oct. 26. Let me hear from you. Yours truly, Bradley T. Johnson. Mr. Randall has accepted the invitation, and will go down to Richmond with tho Maryland Line on the night of the 36th. Puppies Play with a Horse. From the Danbury Newt. John Clarke, at the Lake, is considerable of a dog fancier in his way. He is now rearing two English terriers, and, like ail puppies, tney are full of fun, frolic and mis chief. Thursday he hitched np a horse to drive to the depot after guests. He tied the horse in front of the house to go inside for a moment. The puppies had usen following him to the stable, and were much interested in his movements. As soon as he turned his back on them they went to work at mis chief. Mr. Clarke had tied the horse some what carelessly in a slip knot, and the end of the halter hung nearly to the ground.
