Philadelphia Fire Department.
The Fire Department of the above city

Ths actual losses from fire during the year
barely exceed a million of dollars.

Find a Hole.
It is now a self-evident fact that Repub
licanism has served its day. Its mission
has been accomplished, its work done
very soon, it can retire to some private
hole, and there remain until wanted.
Rapid Growth.
Jacksonville, Florida, possesses attrac
tion* which has, and continues, to draw
numbers to her population. But a few
years since her population was some 2,000,
now she claimes to have 12,000.
To Prevent Illegal Voting.
Several of our State exchanges call upon
the Legislature to pass an act requiring
every voter to vote at the precinct in the
district in which he resides at the time of
the election.
SMublm to Step Down and Oat.
Judge Gildersleeve, of the New York
Criminal Court, announces his intention to
be sterner in sentencing gamblers. He has
just sentenced two faro-game proprietors to
six months in the penitentiary and $ 100
fine. Pool sellers will also be looked after.
A Lecture.
We heard a gentleman remark last night,
that he thought Henry Ward Beecher could
be induced to visit Atlanta and lecture.
Seme men of his notoriety would not seek
to face the world, so it would be worth fifty
cants or one dollar to see one possessed of
so much brazen impudence.
Tildea’s Opinion.
The Governor’s confidence in his election
has never; for a moment, been shaken. He
has ever believed that he would be quietly
and rightfully inaugurated in March. In
fact his judg-ment, is generally made like
that of Ex-Governor Brown, on a solid
foundation.
>•<
The Effect on Business.
The commercial journals from ail quar
ters, we notice, unite in saying that the
prospect now for an amicable settlement of
the presidential controversy is having a fa
vorable influence in commercial circles in
their respective localities, and that there
are but few merchants who are not looking
forward to a brisk spring business.
U 1 Right.
The prospect of a fair count of the elec
loral vote, is already having a good effect.
Every one is satisfied that Tilden will re
ceive the vote, and that he will be inaugur
ated. Under his managent a great change
will come over the country, in fact the
United States will assume a high place in
the rank of nations .
Onr Next President.
A New York correspondent of the Spring
field Republican says that Gov. Tilden is as
honest a politician as they make, as square
as the timber *> ill admit of. and he thinks
altogether too much of Samuel J. Tilden
to run the risk of doing anything decided
ly discreditable. But his ability, thorough
knowledge of affairs, consummate tact and
pride of character, place him unquestiona
bly at the head of his class, and he has
more business in his little finger than
Earts or Morgan has in their whole body.
The Press and the Electoral Bill.
The various Sew York city journals are
rectifying their position on the electoral
plan question. The classification is as fol
lows: For the bill — Herald, (independent,)
Bulletin, (independent, ) Journal of Conunerc ej
(democrat,) Evening Port, (republics ,) and
Express, (democrat.) Against it— Times, (re
publican,) Tribune, (republican,) and Oam
utertial, (republican.) The World (democrat)
gives it only a lukewarm support. It may
be added that such of the clergy as make
political matters the occasional subject of
their sermons took due cognisance of the
event in the pulpit on Sunday. They are
generally in favor of it as a measure for the
maintenance of the peace, and as probably
about the best thing that can be done under
tbe circumstances. It may be added that
the St. Louis Westtiehe Post, Hon. Carl
Schura’t paper, also warmly indorses the
solution of the presidential muddle recom
mended by the joint congressional commit
tee. So do all the Democratic papers of St.
toois, English and German.

less than twenty-five dollars a bottle. At
this rate. the entire lot will bring about
three thousand dollars.
Chronicle and Sentinel: William and
Zachariah Agee were drowned on Saturday
last in the Ogeeehee river, at Mayville
Mills. They were crossing the river in a
boat, on their way to the Mayfield depot,
and the water being very swift the current
carried them over the dam, drowning both.
William Agee leaves a wife and four chil
dren, and Zachariah a young wife.
Donglasville Medium: Mr. Mat Daniel
and F. M. Watson killed a few miles from
town, on the 14th inst., while the “ beauti
ful snow ’’ covered the earth, a large rattle
snake. His snakeship was three feet in
length and' very large in proportion and
seemed in the full vigor of life. He was
found near a hen’s nest, the nest having
been broken np by the snake, it is supposed.
Rockdale Register: A cyclone passed in
about two miles of Conyers on last Satur
day evening. Ae have been unable to
hear of the extent of the damage done.
Though we learn that several of the out
houses as well as the dwc’ling of Mr. John
Bartlett, of this county, were considerably
injured by the storm. The top of hio dwell
ing was blown off. His crib, lot fences,
stable, etc., were blown down, and his place
considerably injured and torn up. His son,
a young man, was blown against a tree and
bruised and hurt, 'hough not seriously.
This is the third or fourth visitation the
storm king has made in this vicinity.
Newnan Herald: For some weeks past,
Grantville has been much disturbed over
her annual municipal election. On the
first Saturday in this month an election was
held which decided the contest so far as the
Board of Aldermen was concerned, but
there was a tie between the two candidates
for Mayor. On Saturday last another elec
tion was held for Mayor, which resulted in
another tie. Dr. Hogan and Mr. Cotton
were the candidates and the votes were
equally divided between them. Everybody
within the corporate limits and some over
the line, we expect, ware carried to the polls
to vote, and breakfasts, suppers, barbecues,
etc., to say nothing about numerous buck
ets full of whisky were distributed around
promiscuously, and yet there was no elec
tion. We call for a Returning Board.
A Mash.
[New York Clipper.)
“You’ve made a masli,” said one of the
ushers who had come around from tbe
front of the house as bearer of dispatches to
the Ham Brothers, “the acrobatic break
neck song-and-dance marvels of the nine
teenth century.” (See small bills.) “Did
you see them two pretty girls, dressed just
alike, in the front row of the family-circle
on the prompt side?”
“Oh, yes,” ehorused the Ham Brothers.
“I guess they are twins.”
“Thev asked me if I wouldn’t say that
they would like to see you out in front
after the show.”
“All right,” chimed the Hams; “much
obliged. We’ll beer you the next time we
see you in Volmer’s. Smoke?"
“Don’t care if I do. Then I’ll tell the
girls that it will be all right?”
“Yes.”
The usher returned to the front of the
house to report to the twin beauties of the
family circle, and the Brothers Ham pro
ceeded to perform their toilets with more
than usual care, asking each other time
without number:
“Is the cork all out of mv ear?”
Patiently they waited, while their jealous
comrades lingered dose at hand, for the
coming of the twins. At last they came,
and, approaching them, one said;
“The Ham Brothers?” in an inquiring
they answered, all smiles.
Again one of the yddng misses spoke:
“Mother wishes us to ask you if it was
just as convenient*wouldn’t you please pay
for washing)those song-and-dance suits?'’

The falhotton Standard says : Tiiis is a i
favoriti word with the average Georgia Law
maker at this time, yet we think it is all
talk an< no gum, just as it was in the last
Legislature. There is too much of the
“true nwardness” about our Legislators
for the n to curtail many of the sinecures
held 1 eretofore by “Combination Men.”
And it is our opinion that all this “thun
der” al out Reform and Retrenchment will
fall stil bom and never amount to anything'
more tl iau noise. More time and money is
spent i: i talking about it all than anything
else th wise-acres have before them.
