Cold. Yesterday morning, when the writer ft his bed, (and it happened to be late, for the wa8 jyjf an hour high,) the mercury indi- . {C(1 twenty-five. It was certainly a good deal jiwor than that during the night Ice was abundant. The frost king, in merry mood, had covered the cUybanks inches thick with his del icate drape*?* as if mocking the tender verdure t.o had nipped and blasted so ruthlessly. Gar- Jon vegetation said as plainly as it could, “ we cuj't stand it—we are gone with the sun," and •iit. we think, will be truer testimony than has teen before the Reconstruction Committee for tome weeks. If so, gardeners will all start again o9 equal footing and no advantages. putT Assurance.—Fomey writes to his pa- pjf in Philadelphia, stating twice over that ••General Grant is and intends to remain in ihorough accord with Republican principles and the Republican organization ; and that he has ^en care to indicate every day that he is com ply identified with the Republican party.” Forney's faith falters, seeking support every recessive sun. Grant generously gratifies the jead dnek with daily declarations dissipating Joobt—re-assuring radicalism and repelling re- reaney. Yellow Fever oh the South American Coast.—The State Department at Washington forwards to Gen. Richard N. Bowerman, deputy collector of the port of Baltimore, the copy of a letter from A. W. Clark, United States consul at Vdparaiso, dated Janaary lGth, in which it is suted that tho yellow fever had again made its tppearance in a most malignant form at the ports south of Callao. The disease was reported is more virulent and fatal than last year when it its height Vessels arriving at Valparaiso from the affected ports were strictly quaran tined. S'or Troubled at General Grant's InDepen- *0CE—The New York Tribune is quite resign- rdto the new dispensation under the new ad ministration. It says: “For ourselves, we con template serenely the advent of an Administra tion that will be independent of politics so far is mere politicians are concerned. We have seen so much of the ‘caucus,’ the ‘delegation bittiness,’ the ‘making of public opinion,’ the Aggressive, eager, rushing of incompetent men jemanding in an imperious manner to be con ciliated and honored, that the change will be for the best. _ The New York Times states that President lohnson intends, shortly after he goes out of ..gee, to make a visit to Europe. The offer of a passage was lately made him by one of the German line of steamers, and the offer was ac cepted by Mr. Johnson. It is his purpose, im mediately after the 4th of March, to make a brief visit to Tennessee, with the view of ar ranging his affairs, and he will sail to Europe about the 1st of April. , Ms go ie Mitchell Married.—The Toledo Wade says that in July last, Mr. Henry T. Pad dock, late of that city, and Miss Maggie Mitch ell, the accomplished and popular actress, were united in marriage at New York, which place the twain intend to make their fntnre home. As the lady had a number of professional en gagements to fill, it was deemed best to keep the fact of her marriage a secret from the pub lic. and it was made known to but few of the mends of either party. Mr. Paddock left To ledo last week to take np his residence in New York. It is understood that Maggie has made her last appearance on the public stage. A Northern Visitor.—We bad a call yester day from Mr. Wm. H. Sylvis, of the firm of Cameron & Sylvis, publishers of the The Work ingmen’s Advocate, Philadelphia. Mr. Sylvis is Diking a tour through the South, on errands political and material—to assist and in organizing a workingmen's party in this section, and also la behalf of an iron interest in Pennsylvania, vhich contemplates an establishment in the Southern country. Fame of Congress.—Tho reputation of Con- cress is not growing any better. “They tell” i-eadful stories about it, and few are exaggera t'd. A correspondent of the Chicago Republi- ir declares that “the elegant apartment oppo se the main doorway of the United States Sen ile Chamber is ‘notoriously the greatest assigna tion place in Washington.’ ” Lands Begging.—The Tallahassee Floridian uvs that several of the most valuable tracts of !»nd in Leon county were sold by the United States Marshal, under execution, at the Court house, in Tallahassee, on last Monday, none of *hich brought more than a dollar per acre in currency. For one of these tracts, the Floridian taderatands, $27 per acre in gold was offered a little before the war. A Grand Benevolent, Financial and Political Enterprise. The philosopher of Sleepy Hollow, grown des perate over the waning proportions of the cot ton crop and the decay of field-labor in the South, propose# to-day a grand expedient by which all interests can be harmonized. Ho pro poses to revive the importation of native Afri cans, under the auspices of the Anti-slavery Society, the Foreign and Domestic Mission Boards, Miss Anna Dickinson, tho New York Tribune, the Chicago Sorosis, the Atlantic Motive for Negro Votes. Sumner, upon the resolution, now bef< Senate, says: “ Yon need votes in Connecticut, do you a There are three thousand fellow-citizens in that' State ready at the call of Congress to take their place at the ballot-box. Yon need them also in Pennsylvania, do yon not? There are at least fifteen thousand in that great State waiting for your summons. Wherever youmost need them, there they are.” To which tho New York Express says: “One knows not which most to admire, the candor or audacity of this avowal. To take the control of CITY AFFAIES. Monthly, Mr. Sumner, Mica Kelley, the Boston | suffrage from the States, where it has rested The Extra Session.—Fomey, in his “occa- uonal" correspondence with his Press asserts 'ill the Forty-First Congress will continue in ^ou at least a month, and, with the “great obstruction” removed, will dispose of public buoaea in a hnrry. Let them repeal the ten- ^of-office act, or they will raise another “ob struction” in their path more formidable than Johnson Te» Revolutions.—Mexico has now some 4 dozen revolutionary movements on hand, *bich ue highly interesting to those who are “fluted and shot.

The business under these humanizing and sanctifying auspices would take rank at once among the great civilizing agencies of the times. It would snatch thousands of sable victims from the fires of canibalism, and the lowest depths of ignorance and degradation, and place them under the protecting regis of these organizations, nnder the old flag, and within hearing of the church going bell and the school-house—in a land where the sacred odor of the Freedmen’s Bureau yet lingers in the atmosphere, and the memory of Gen. Howard, Kilpatrick and the holy sisters is still revered. Thus the great ends of humanity and civilization would be se cured. Again, as Mr. Senator Sumner wisely re marks, “more voters are needed,” and as ho adroitly adds, “hero you have them.” Shiploads upon shiploads of Gullohs can be brought from their native wilds, and landed wherever the po litical necessities indicate—so that, in the words of Mr. Sumner again, “wherever you most need them, there they are.” The refining and eleva ting influences of tho ballot, combined with plenty of “free labor,” and hog and homony, will cause the faces of these benighted Africans to shine with intelligence, hope and happiness. Du Chaillu said, in his Philadelphia lecture, the other day, that when they wished to domi ciliate lum in Africa, the first step was to insist that he should take 800 wives to begin with. Now, how can Miss Dickinson and the sorrowing sisters of the sorosis contemplate such a sacri fice of woman’s rights without horror ? Sleepy Hollow appeals to them. The sable sisterhood of Africa stretch out their imploring hands, and ask, “am I not a woman and a sister?” Sleepy Hollow, too, does not disdain to ad dress himself to more earthly and material mo tives. He reminds the great Northern shipping interest that what it has lost in carrying cotton, it may regain by enlisting in this grand mission ary enteiprise. And finally he proposes to crown the whole work, in a financial way, with a yearly product of four million bales of cotton. We must think it over. We, in Georgia, might not object to the cotton, though reason would lie against the voters. Mr. Sumner and the Sorosis might sanction it in every aspect. We suggest a compromise. Congress is annexing San Domingo, where the negroes have been be having very badly ever since they lost their masters. Now, let Congress, when annexation has been accomplished, begin by shipping over a few of those Dukes and Marquises to begin with, and we will try our hands upon them, with the understanding that they shall be reshipped if the experiment fails. It will be a grand busi ness to have our cotton hoed by the Marquis of Marmalade, assisted by the Duke of Lemonade, Prince Custard, the Earl of Cocoanut, and other leading nobles of the Haytien Court. On tlie Anxious Bench. We need nothing more than the constant as surance of a perfect understanding between Gen. Grant and the Radicals, to satisfy ns that the relations of the high contracting parties are in a precarious condition. And, indeed, to come to the point at once, the present political condition does not admit of harmony between Congress and the Execu tive. Congress, having repudiated all consti tutional limitations, has declared for supreme power, and they have made good their dedara- ions as to the retiring President. They justi fied the act by pleading the party treachery of Mr. Johnson; but they have already virtually pleaded distrust of Gen. Grant, by refusing to repeal their great measure of Executive emas culations, the tenure-of-office act This amounts substantially to notification in advance of war upon the clear constitutional prerogatives of the new President, and while the case stands in that shape, Mr. Fomey may talk about harmony in vain. Gen. Grant in tends to be President, and Congress does not mean he shall be. The case does not admit of compromise. Congress most retract or no har mony can subsist between them. But the thirst for power and prerogative in Congress is too great to permit a voluntary re traction. The force of that passion in both Houses was strongly illustrated by the conflict in joint meeting over the electoral canvass. Beth Houses are so inflated with the idea of supremacy, that after vanquishing tho Execu tive, neither can tolerate the other. Butler wants to kick;the Senate, and the Senate pnt down the House by force of its own police. Does any man suppose it will long be possible to keep the peace between a President determined to exercise all his powers and prerogatives to the full—between a President evidently holding military ideas of his position and a Congress possessed with the notions of supreme power, which now inflame that body? Nay, verily. from the fonndation of the Government, is as offensive'as it is unwise. By-and-by, too, re action will come, and then the authors or States advocating such a resolution may be the first to recoil against it, for, as the Newburyport Her ald (Rep.) forcibly says : “ ‘It is bad policy in New England to threaten the rights of States, for some day there may come a party to power asking reconstruction on the basis of equality, and where then will our twelve Senators bo ?’ “But fanatics like Sumner and Wilson heed not the future, and have no respect for the past. The wonder is that men from the Northwest consent to follow their lead.” Interesting Clerical Statistics of the Catholic Chnrch. A Catholic statistical publication in England gives the following figures concerning the Ro man Catholic Church: The total number of bishoprics is 1,094. Of these, 132 are archbish oprics and G57 bishoprics of the “Latin Rite,” and 7 archbishoprics of the “ Oriental Rite.” The latter includes Armenians, Greco-Roumain, Greco-Ruthenian, Greco-Melchite, Syro-Maro- nite, Greco-Bulgarian, Syrisac and Syro-Chaldaic prelates. The sees of bishops in partibus infi- delium number 229; and the whole Christian world which acknowledges Rome as “ the mother and mistress of all Churches,” is divided into 12 patriarchates, 177 archbishoprics and 905 bish oprics in ordinary. At present one patriarchate, 9 archbishoprics and 102 bishoprics in ordina: Urn rnfnrr,ori no ** nononf ” or»fl tliro rnrlnAtnr» 4l The State Fair.—The premium list for the Stain Fair to be held in Macon on the second Tuesday in Awember next, will soon be issued in pamphlet fori^and, in addition to the list of premiums, will contain the ^ regulations governing the ac tion of tig officers of the Fair and those competing for prizes, much other interesting matter bear ing upon the\bject. By the lights in which we now view the sublet, we have no donbt that the Pair will be one of <t»e grandest affairs that ever came off in the State. The central position of Ma con; her accessibility from all points; the known liberality and hospitality of her citizens; and the eminent administrative ability, in such matters, which characterize tho Executive Committee of the State Agricultural Society, all give us the assurance that the Fair will attract such a crowd to Macon as was never before witnessed or recorded in the his tory of the dty. * Meanwhile let every planter, mechanic, artizan and housewife in the State, set about preparing something valuable or interesting for exhibition, and have it here at the Fair in November next. Let us prove to the world, and to carpet-baggers partic ularly, that some things can be done in Georgia as well as at the “hub of the universe.” The Weather.—Tho hardest blow of the season, in this section, occured during Monday night last; alter which tho weather rapidly turned colder until about 11 o’clock forenoon, when it made quite an effort to rain, elect and enow all at the same time, and steadily kept up its blow besides. The weather has been so very pleasant for tho .ast three weeks that wo can now afford to stand a little of the other sort for awhile without complaint. Let's philosophize a little: Sunshine is good; so are clouds. No man—we will not say woman—can live on sugar. Wheat without chaff would be monstrous. All good has streaks of evil, and for the end that good may be presented in cheerful contrast tp evil. A little adversity, a little opposition, a little eome-trouble, these are an advantage. Such and develop us.

Eighty-five members of the College have died during the Pontificate of Pio Nono, of whom thirty-seven were raised to that dignity by him self. which might be looked for in one of younger years, but we would respectfully suggest that he employ an amanuensis and take his time in dictating the ma terial for tho work. We have no doubt the pro ceeds of the sale of the book, in the city and in Central Georgia, will amply repay him for all the expense he may incur, and leave a handsome com pensation for his own time and labor beside. Let us have the book, Mr. Rose. The suggestion is ono of the best that has been made in regard to the city in a long while, and you are the only one in all tho country who can carry it out. A Joke on Horace Greeley iu the New York Legislature. The Albany correspondent of the New York Just the Thing—Since the activity of the Democrat, writing under date of the 19th inst., 9®a^on is almost over, and as the warehousi Tke Next Cotton Crop. Three million bales of cotton this year, if the season be favorable, yielding, at present prices, $400,000,000, will be the contribution of the cot ton States to the material wealth of the Union. Here is a prize worth contending for by the great commercial cities, and New York, from present indications, will secure so large a share as to make np for the dullness of the lost season. Freights to Europe will rule high, as a matter of coarse, and were it not for the insane policy of Congress, ship-bnilding would immediately re vive. Our great mercantile marine before tho war was mainly built up by the cotton trade. It can be rebuilt and enlarged now by judicious legislation. We clip the foregoing prognostication from an exchange, but we find the opinion very gen eral among Southern cotton dealers that the crop of 1868 will show the maximum, no matter what may be the efforts to produce a larger yield. A heavy and universal falling off of labor in the field is reported. On the other hand, we HiinV no due allowance is made for an increase in the strictly white labor product of Georgia. This, we believe, will be very considerable. Then we must also allow for a considerable in crease in the crop resulting from the diminution in tho com culture. This will bo large and general. The reports from all points in Geor gia indicate that very little com will be planted. On the whole, with a good year, we expect to see three million bales produced. The Cabinet.—A wise correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle gives the following as the composition of Grant’s Cabinet: Secretary of State, N. P. Banks, of Massa chusetts: Secretary of the Treasury, F. E. Spinner, of New York; Secretary of War, Gen. John A. Rawlins, of Illinois; Secretary of Uie Navy, James Grimes, of Iowa (present Chief of Grant’s staff;) Secretary of the Interior, “Stur dy" Ben Wade, of Ohio; Postmaster General, John D.Defrees, of Indiana; Attorney General, Jas.

The Democrats, of course, felt that the joke was a huge one, while Mr. Greeley’s friends in both Houses were sorely chagrined and insulted, as they affirmed, by Mattoon’s action, in going so far ont of the way to hold the “great philoso pher” up to public ridicule. More bitter sar casm could not well be uttered than is expressed in the language of the resolution, which is as follows: Whereas, in the present delicate state of our relations with Great Britain, the most momen tous consequences may hang npon the choice-of a representative of the Government at the British Court; and, Whereas, the position is one that calls for a rare union of qualities, such as firmness of pur pose with suavity and evenness of temper, great knowledge of international law with courtly manners and polished address, long practice in the habit of conducting controversies without heat or excitement, with a fastidious and deli cate regard to the rights and feelings of oppo nents; therefore, Resolved, That the Senate earnestly recom mend to the President elect the appointment of that model American gentleman and statesman, Horace Greeley, to the position of Minister to the Court of St. James. The resolution lies upon the table, and is to be printed. A Carpet-bag Wins its Owner a Wife. from the Paris Kentuckian.] Coming np on the Kentucky Central train the other day, we observed a newly married couple —Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, the bride the late widow of Benjamin Elliston, deceased, of Covington. We have seldom seen a finer looking couple. Mrs. Wilson is well known as the former kind, amiable and esteemed landlady of tho Elliston House. Feeling our forlorn bachelorhood as a sort of reproach to us, and anxious to discover a way out of our single difficulty, wo remarked to the happy bridegroom that we had been long vainly trying to get married, and asked him how he managed the matter. In answer he told us that he had lost his carpet-bag and won a model wife. Going down on the train to Covington, a fellow passenger carried the satchel away by mistake. Putting np at the Central Hotei, one of the proprietors of which is a relative, he made known his loss, when it was suggested that he might find his property at the Elliston House, where many central Kentucky travelers stop. Acting upon the suggestion, he went to the El liston, and in making inquiries concerning tho 1 lost article he made the acquaintance of Mrs. E. He was at once forcibly impressed with the appearance and manners of tho lady. Indeed, it was a case of “love at first sight.” He came, he saw, he was conquered. It is needless to follow the details of the courtship. Suffice it to say that, being a gentle man of pleasing Address and irreproachable character, the lady’s heart responded favorably to his ardent wooing, and the story ends, ns all such stories should, with a happy marriage. Thus he lost his carpet-bag and won his wife. IVhether he ever got the sack or not, he rejoices in the fact that the lady did not give it to him. Who wouldn’t be a carpet-bagger for such a re ward? The Press In China. Among the Chinese at Pekin, the capital of the empire, a newspaper has been published for centuries—for how long, in fact, nobody can telL It is older than their earliest traditions, and its founder is as unknown as the discoverer of the tea-plant is, or the first weaver of silk. The namo of the newspaper is King Chan, or the Court Record, though foreigners call it the Pekin Gazette. It is compiled from official pa pers ; the most of the news, even, that it con tains being in the form of official reports of the authorities in the various cities and provinces. It ha3 been published every morning sinco the time to which human memory does not reach backward. It is printed and then placarded in such public places as the city walls. Couriers convey copies to tho most distant parts of the Empire, and in remote cities, thou sands of people are employed in transcribing and in reprinting its contents for the publio use. The intelligence and expression of opinion that it contains, are prepared in the Emperor’s Coun cil, and revised by him, before they are printed. It is the official organ of tho Government, by the agents of which it is industriously circulated. The official edition is issued gratuitously, and large subsidies are granted to pay the expenses of publication. Anybody may freely reprint copies for sale, and it is the channel by which the people communicate with each other, and the Government with the public. The Coming Extra Session.—The members re-elected are unanimously opposed to transact ing business at the session of the Forty-first Congress to commence on the 4th of March next. The ninety-odd new members will proba bly think differently upon the matter, if bnt to get themselves well in harness as soon as pos sible. The old members believe that the new administration should be allowed to get fairly under way ere being compelled to develop a pol icy upon any important question. As that will be likely to ward off considerable embarrass ment, it is by no means unlikely that the new longer crowded with tho precious staple, the inte rior of one or two of them have been partially con verted into velocipede rinks, where tho clerks, dur ing tlieir leisure hours, do little else than exercise themselves in acquiring a knowledge of the unman ageable bicycle to those who are not skilled in its use. The interior of our warehouses contain large, heavy plank floors which afford ample space for practice on the velocipede, and several gentlemen of the city who own the machines are acquiring a knowledge of them and are beginning to ride very well. We make this statement for the benefit of the rampant velocipedist to whom we alluded yesterday, so that he may not infringe further upon his domes tic relations, and perhaps, destroy them by his reck less conduct. _ The City.—Under the effects of tho continued bad weather the city remains unusually dull, and business is veiy languid. In laying our grocery and provison quotations before a leading dealer yester day for revisal and correction,he remarked that trade had been so dull for the last day or two that ho hardly knew what was the market price of anything named in our list, and he returned it without chang ing a figure. The country roads aro now barely passable on foot, and if a planter living ten miles distant desired to take advantage of the bad spell of weather to visit the city with his wagon, to pur chase supplies, ho could not do so on account of the miserable condition of the roads. Business is, therefore, confined altogether to the filling of or ders by railroad from a distance, and the supplying of alight city consumptive demand. Our streets aro in a sloppy and disagreeable condition, and were almost deserted yesterday. We heard of nothing transpiring during the day worth relating. A Mean Brute.—In passing along Fifth street yesterday morning we saw a big, burly buck negro beating and choking his wife for not buying such articles in market as he had instructed her to pur chase. We earnestly hope she will report the case to the authorities and have him punished. If there had been a policeman in sight he should have been arrested then and there. There have been several such cases as this in the Mayor’s Court recently. Whatever you abuse, never abuse a woman. Al ways remember you had a mother, peihaps you have a sister. It is cowardly, mean, unjust. If any act deserves the pillory* then does this of wife-beat ing. The very fact of her sex should make her ex empt from all that is coarse, unkind or cruel. No genuine man ever yet abused a woman. As soon expect to seo a dart of lighining in the blue sky of June, a rose in the snow bank of January, a gift from a miser, a great act from a mean sonl, as a real man abnsing a woman. Ho is not a man that will do it, bnt a brute, and that, too, of the meanest type- )[( Heavy Mule Trade—Within the last three months there have been shipped from Macon over the Southwestern railroad, one hundred and fifty car loads of mules, averaging about eighteen heads to the car, and making & total shipment of mules into Southwestern Georgia, this season, of 2700 head, the cash value of which will not fall a dollar under $540,000. This is quite a large sum for only one section of tho State to expend for a single item in preparing for the next crop, and will give one some idea of tho success which attended the plant ing interests of the State last year, and also an idea of the extent and magnitude of the planting opera tions of tho present year. The wood and coal dealers were very busy yester day, in consequence of the sudden cold snap which set in about daylight. They have not had a very lively trade this season on account of the mild and pleasant weather that lias generally prevailed; and were it not for the poor who aro unable to supply themselves with fuel, we would not care to have a cold spell for a week or two, just to accommodate our polite and energetic wood and coal dealers. Should either of them send in a small load of wood or coal for this compliment, it will give us no of- fensc, whatever. The Cold.—Night before last was intensely cold for this season. In exposed places ice half inch thick was formed. Early peas were fairly turned blue and wilted considerably. The ground was thoroughly frozen. If tho effect has been to retard the too early development of fruit buds, wo shall rejoice at this touch of arctic weather. Superior Court.—After a short session yesterday morning, daring which nothing of interest to the general reader was done, His Honor, Judge Cole, adjourned the Court until the regular Spring Term ia May next. ___ A Georgia Hotel.—Our Brown House is essen tially a Georgia Hotel, of the present day. It is modern in all its arrangements, ‘ plans and specifi cations.” It has won a good name throughout the Union, and, unlike a prophet, is not without honor in its own country, for the better our people know it, the more they like it. We commend it to all as without a superior in the cotton States. Eggs.—The Middle Georgian of yesterday, pub lished at Griffin, says that eggs are selling in that market at 10 cents per dozen. That sounds down this way like some beautiful fairy tale we like to hear, but cannot hope ever to experience. Free Foundations for Tjbrabixs Everywhere. The establishment of libiarieB by charitable endow ment,. or the co-operation of intelligent public-spir ited citizens, is a subject that should receive gene ral attention. As a purifier of morals, a means of popular education, a relief of crowded prisons and almshouses, a direct promoter of the peace, happi ness and wealth of communities, the publio library ranks with the church and the school. It appears, from signs cropping out here and there, especially in the Wtest, as if the times were propitious for the furtherance of this great work. Such, at least, is the conviction entertained by D. Appleton & Co., who have received, recently, many inquiries from different States, asking to be informed as to the best method of founding libraries and selecting books. In response to the wide spread feeling thus shown to exist npon the subject, and to give its powerful impulse, they have determined to offer a FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Weekly Review of the Market. OFFICE DAILY TELEGRAPH, > February 24—Evenino, 1869./ General Remarks.—There has been no evidence of improvement in general wholesale and jobbing trade of the city since our last weekly report of the market Business generally continues rather dull, but our merchants and grocers are very confident of active trade in a short while, especially when the spring trade opens, which is now not far in the fu ture. — uu.,0 ub-uuu-ou w unci. <>.

The plan which they propose is. in scope, liberality, and precise adaptation to the beneficient end sought to be accomplished, unparalled in the history of public enterprises. It is as follows: The Appletoi^ offer to give free, what may he called the foundation for libraries everywhere. They will present to each club of persons desironB of forming a public library a complete set, in 16 vol umes, of their standard New American Cyclopedia. This great national work, the only publication of the land, is ono which organizers of libraries usu ally buy first of all books, because it is one most often consulted by persons of all classes and voca tions, in se?Jch of reliable information on all kinds of topics. Sixteen large octavo volumes, containing many thousand pages of the most valuable reading matter, for tho purchase of which they would ordi narily spend their money, they therefore receive for nothing. In one sense the Cyclopaedia is in itself a library; so that from the start, the dabs will have the better part of what they wanted for nothing. The only return asked try the donors for this mag- ificent gift is, that the club shall proceed to raise and expend not less than five hundred dollars to buy other books. In other words, that the Club shall bniid tlie superstructure on the foundation laid by tho Appletons. In the selection of suitable books by hands experienced for many years in the making of libraries, the Appletons will render all the assistance required, and supply the books with the usual discount The Cvcloposdia thus becomes literally a gift. This extraordinary plan, so far as it has been with unanimous approval. When it comes to be submitted to the judgment of individauls, meets generally known, it cannot fail to elidt prompt rec ognition and thankful acceptance from the inhabi- ts of hundreds of dries, towns and villages in United States. full particulars of plan, address D. Appleton & Co., New York. As the’&^unroe Library in this dty is now just be ing estahlis&sd, we copy tho foregoing as what wo conceive to bo vajuable information to those having it in hand. We deajre to see this library soon be come a firet-dass public institution of the dty. and one which may ultimately become the pride and boast of Macon—a place of resort, where one can go at night, or whenever he has a leisure hour and is so indined, and find a rich source fdr rational and intellectual enjoyment We hope our dty au thorities will take advantage of the liberal offer made by the Appletons. Another Windfall to a Minstrel.—Wo learn that Joe Gaylord, the General Agent for Skiff & Gay lord's Minstrels has had bad luck lately. An old Dutch Undo who was bom in Donegal, Ireland, and lived in Africa all his life, died in Honolula recently and suddenly.^Hc left Joe a check on the bulls and beats of Wallstreot, New York, for the snug sum of $S0,0pffm greenbacks. Gaylord is doing well, and doubt, remember his deceased unde for ly years to come. His Company perform in Ralston's Hall on March 4th and 5th. In connection with the Company, the Manager has, at a great expense, secured the ser vices of Professor Manning, who will walk on a rope from the top of one building across the street to an other, previous to each evening’s entertainment by the Company. Let the little, fish take to shallow water—this is a big concern. The Demand for Lumber.—The demand for lum ber in the dty is much greater than the supply. In consequence of this the price has advanced fully five dollars per thousand. Until here recently it haB gone a begging in our market, and many saw mills went out of the business for want of patronage, but they could find plenty of customers if they were in operation now. Let them be revived, and if there is any surplus stock on hand in the country, it should be shipped here immediately. This is indicative of tho prosperity of tho dty. We notice new dwellings going np all around. We seem to have store room enough and to spare, but of residences of the third and fourth grades, there is a scarcity. Our Building and Loan Assodations are helping many a poor man to a comfortable home. A Homeless Dog.—Every day about tho time our old colored engineer “Bob” takes his dinner, there is a “cur of low degree” which hangs around the engine room to partake of the crumbs—perchance an occasional bone—that may fall from Bob’s table. As Bob, unlike a majority of his race, dislikes dogs, and this poor dog in particular, it may not bo amiss to say a word in regard to tho general disfavor in which homeless dogs are held, and as a sort of an advanced plea in Bob’s behalf, should said dog some day meet with an untimely and tragic end at his hands. Now, a more miserable object than a dog without a home, can scarcely be imagined. The homeless dog—not the dog lost—bnt the dog always homeless, is of uncertain origin, a sort of combina tion of all breeds. He is always lean, lame, ugly and hungry. His life is made up of hits and kicks. He is kicked by tho man he follows in the hope of at last obtaining a home, and is battered over the head by tho butcher from whom he attempts to steal his dinner. It is said that cveiy dog has his day, but the day of the homeless cur must have been an unusually bad one, or else it has not yet come. Wo often meet him covered with scars in stead of hair, sneaking, whining, and perfectly con scious of his own worthlessness. He is a robber by profession and steals to live. He is the special ab- horence of dogs that have homes. They browbeat and abuse him because they know that ho has not tho pluck or strength to resist Like poor human ity, the canine has no sympathy with the unfortu nate of bis race. Ho is taken by the dog catchers because they are paid to muzzle him, and is not un- frequently shot as mad because he whines, and his brain becomes addled from shere starvation. In fact, the world generally, and dogs having a home stead in particular, are down on homeless dogs; and if our faithful old engineer should, one of these days ‘“put out the chunk” of the dog that suggested this article, he will only be drifting with atide which no homeless cur has ever successfully buffeted. A majority of persons living in the South aro pre disposed to diseases of tho Liver, and most of the pains and aches complained of are owing to a de ranged state of that important organ. The Sim mons’ Liver Regulator is tho great remedy for the diseases incident to a disorganized Liver, Dyspepsia, Constipation, Sick Headache, Female Irregularities, etc. One says: It has done me more good than any medicine I ever used. Another says: I consider it an invaluable remedy. Another says: My eon, who was so long consid ered a hopeless case, is now in blooming health, from nsing the Simmons' Regulator. For sale by all druggists. Stole a Case of Cocktail.—A negro named Joe Plant was arrested and placed in jail yesterday for stealing a case of whisky cocktail from Johnson, Campbell * Co.'s store, on tho corner of Fourth and Poplar streets. Joe had an accomplice in the transaction, but he has thus far eluded the police. Joe will have to “scratch gravel” on the streets, for this little piece of rascality, about thirty days, and will not have any cocktails of mornings to stimulate him nnder the arduous labors of wielding a pick or shovel. One of the shrewdest dodges yet invented for evading the payment of duty on imported goods has just been reported to the Treasury. A Bos ton hotel-keeper, wishing to furnish his hotel with the very best of furniture at the cheapest possible cost, went to Paris a short time since, rented a house, bought about $60,000 worth of furniture and took it into the house. A portion of the furniture, such as bedding, towels, car pets, etc., were made np in the house by work men employed for the purpose. An officer of the customs in New York city, who happened to be in Paris at the time, was invited by the hotel proprietor to become his guest, to which he con sented, thereby saving all expenses of board, lodging,, etc. In a few days after the customs officer left, the furniture was shipped for New York, and, it is alleged, was admitted free of duty on the proper evidence having been sub mitted showing that the goods were personal ef fects winch had been in use before shipment Once landed in New York, the furniture was forthwith carried to Boston, and the enterprising Yankee had achieved a success. the week before ; hut a good demand still exists and prices rule very firm. The demand here for South Carolinastock is quite strong and prices have ad vanced two cents in the dollar since our last report The Charleston Courier of the 23d inst, Bays: “There ia an active demand in this market for this stock, for New York account. Sales were made' early in the day at 46, but about one hundred and fifty shares changed hands later at 48. There is so little stock offering that orders for any amount can not bo very readily filled. The large body of stock' holders are not disposed to part with what they be lieve will soon be a moat desirable investment.” Uninterrupted ease is still the prominent feature of the money market, and there is an ample supply to meet the demands of all legitimate business at our rates.
