" j^orc Banking Capital South.

*n«ease of tho present allowance.
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

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,

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

ceeds of the sale of the book, in the city and in
Central Georgia, will amply repay him for all the

us have the book, Mr. Rose. The suggestion is ono

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

relates the following joke on the “philosopher:”
Senator Mattoon's resolution, recommending
Grant to appoint Horace Greeley as Minister to
England, was the occasion of unrestrained mer
riment in both the Senate and the House. 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

act deserves the pillory* then does this of wife-beat

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

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

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.

, I parts l
States. 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. We quote:
