Burlesque Opera—Mrs. James Maas—
With a Fine Troupe.
The legitimate drama has had an
extended run in Augusta during the
present season, and lovers of theatrical
amusements are now desiring a change.
As if to almost anticipate their wishes,
Mr. Van Warmer, the pleasant, enter
prising business manager of Mrs. James
Maas’ Burlesque Opera Troupe, makes
his advent in Augusta to arrange for
the appearauce of this now very popu
lar company in burlesque opera next
Friday and Saturday.
This will be the first regular Bur
lesque Opera Troupe that we have had
here in more than a year, and from the
accounts given of its performances in
other cities, we are sure it will prove
to be a complete success in the line of
amusement which the members have
‘ adopted as a speciality. We learn that
the members of the troupe not only
make themselves popular on the
boards, but are pleasant, cordial and
polite to all with whom they come in
contact off the stage.
The press speak of the performance
as being characterized by a very high
order of merit, and denominated as a
varied, artistic and most enjoyable en
tertainment, free from all coarseness
or vulgarity, and yet mirth-provoking
in the highest degree. An Alabama
exchange commends the troupe to the
public with special pleasure. We have
no doubt they will attract large audi
ences here.
Harper and Almanacs.

Mr. George A. Oates of the following :

Interesting Ceremonies and Meat

YOUNG MEN’S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.
Asa fit closing of the State Conven
tion of the Young Men’s Christian As
sociation of Georgia, the Augusta As
sociation held its anniversary celebra
tion at the Presbyterian Church Sun
day night, on which occasion the edi
fice was filled by a large congregation.
No services were held Sunday nighi
at the Baptist, Methodist and Presby
terian Churches in consequence of this
meeting.
Mr. J. H. Cranston, Vice-President,
presided, and very interesting ad
dresses were delivered by Rev. C. F.
Deems, Mr. Adams and others. With
al, the occasion was a most enjoyable
one indeed to all present.
INTERESTING SERVICES AT THE CATHOLIC
CHURCHES.
A most interesting ceremony took
place in the Catholic Churches Satur
day night. At St. Patrick’s Church an
eloquent sermon on “Devotion to
the Blessed Virgin ” was preached by
Rev. Father Smulders to a large con
gregation, and about sixty young girls,
dressed in white (emblematic of purity),
representing children of the parish,
were dedicated to the Blessed Virgin.
Afterward the congregation, standing,
were also dedicated to the Blessed
Virgin. A statue of the Virgin in the
church was handsomely deocrated.
At the Church of the Sacred Heart,
upper Ellis street, the same ceremony
also took place. Saturday night,
Rev. Father Butler officiating, and
thirty young girls in white dedicated,
with the congregation.
On Sunday, at St. Patrick’s Church,
the regular services of the Mission, re
cently instituted, were continued, and
at night Rev. Father Rathke preached
on “ The Duty of Parents to their
Children,” a large congregation being
present.
Last night, a sermon, replete with
interest to all present, was delivered
by Rev. Father Anthony Lechner, as
sistant pastor of St. Patrick’s Church,
on the subject of Temperance.
At the close of the sermon Father
Lechner announced that a Temperance
Society would be formed in the Sanc
tuary. After the benediction, a large
very large number of those present re
mained and signed the pledged of ab
stinence.
Bishop Gross arrived in the city yes
terday morning, an Episcopal visita
tion to the parish. He will preach at
the St. Patrick’s Church Wednesday
night next.
EPISCOPAL CHURCHES.
The regular Lenten services were
held in each of the Episcopal Churches
Sunday, and were largely attended.
IKE HOOPER.
A Pardon Refused by Gov. Smith.
Gov. Smith yesterday sent the fol
lowing dispatch to Sheriff C. H. Sibley
regarding the petition recently sent to
him from this city for the pardon of
Ike Hooper, convicted some time since
of the murder of Howard Satterwhite,
also colored, about a year ago, and
sentenced to be hanged :
Atlanta, February 15, 1875. J
To the Sheriff of Richmond County :
Application for Executive clemency
for Isaac Hooper is refused. Written
refusal sent to Marcellus P. Foster,
Esq., by mail. Jas. M. Smith.
It will be recollected that Hooper’s
case was carried to the Supreme Court
by his counsel, M. P. Foster, Esq., after
his conviction and sentence, and anew
trial refused. He was then again sen
tenced by Judge Pottle in the Superior
Court, adjourned term, in January last,
the sentence placing the time of his
execution on Friday, 19th of February.
Yesterday afternoon Bishop Gross,
with Revs. Fathers Prendergast and
Lechner, (the latter of whom has been
the spiritual advisor of Hooper since
his last sentence) visited him in his cell
at the Jail and administered the rito of
confirmation.- The reverend gentle
men proceeded from th© front room of
the Jail, (the use of which was kindly
tendered by Mr. T. C. Bridges, the
Jailor)in full canon icals.the Bishop with
his crozier and mitre, to the cell of the
condemned man, where the solemn
ceremony of confirmation was per
formed.
Hooper appears to be resigned to his
fate. Two days since he appeared to
resign all hope of pardon or commuta
tion of his sentence, and now seems to
accept his inevitable fate without mur
muring* The fact of the refusal of the
Executive to grant the application for
clemency was conveyed to him by his
spiritual adviser.

Mineral Remedies Superseded.— All
except those who refuse to be con
vinced by the most positive proof, ad
mit the infinite superiority of Hostet
ter’s Stomach Bitters to the mineral
remedies which it has to a very great
extent superseded, and which, it is to
be hoped, for the sake of the human
stomach, may eventually be abandoned
altogether. The Bitters are a most po
tent corrective of disorders of the liver,
stomach and kidneys. Habitual con
stipation, dyspepsia, bowel complaints,
and the numerous and changeful
symptoms which indicate internal
weakness or disease, are in every in
stance not only relieved, but cured, by
a persistent and systematic use of this
sovereign remedy. Intermittent and
bilious remittent fevers may be surely
prevented by a daily use of this power
ful but pleasant and mild tonic. Phy
sical vigor is the best armor in which
to encounter disease. Secure it by re
course to the Bitters. febll-thsatu&c

MEETING OF THE AUGUSTA JOCKEY CLUB.
A meeting of the Augusta Jockey
Club was held at 12 m., yesterday, at
the Augusta Club Rooms—the Presi
dent, Maj. J. B. Cumming, in the chair,
the Secretary, Maj. Lewis Jones, and a
quorum of members present.
The President stated that he had a
letter from Gen. M. C. Butler resigning
the office of Vice-President, and thank
ing the club for the honor conferred on
him in electing him.
The resignation being, on motion, ac
cepted, the President thought it ne
cessiary to fill the vacancy at once.
Col. Barrett, the other Vice-President,
was present, but he (Maj. Cumming)
could not be in attendance throughout
the week-and therefore there should be
another officer to assist the first Vice-
President.
The Secretary stated that he had a
letter from Major Ker Boyce, stating
that his business would prevent his
serving as a timer, and he therefore
was compelled to resign the position.
The President then appointed Col.
R. J. Wilson to fill the position. (Mr.
J. B. Harris is the other timer).
The of Stewards was
made.
The hour of 2 p. m. was decided upon
for the commencement of the races
each day.
The Secretary stated that he had
made the prices of badges for gentle
men as follows:
Quarter stretch badges for the week,
$lO ; for a day, $3 —admitting at the
gate and the grand stand. Ladies free
and specially invited to attend each
day, all the privileges of the grounds
being accorded them, and no charge
being made for entrance of carriages.

We are requested to call the atten

ties to the very bad condition of
East Boundary street of the New Ter
ritory, from Bray ton villi \.to Picquet’s

if some repairs were not made soon a
batteau or ferry boat would be needed
to pass from one point to another.
The Chicago Tribune patiently awaits
the day when the negro vote will be
divided between the Democrats and
Radicals, and when “both sides will bid
for and court and electioneer colored
voters, each side offering them a share
of the offices ; and the demagogues of
each faction will be seen shaking hands
with the colored men, flattering the
women, and kissing their babies.”
The cotton man of the Atlanta Con
stitution thus writes :
Planting. —lt will soon be time to
prepare the land for anew crop, and as
the quantity grown in that region,
whether it-be a full crop or only half
of one, does not affect the price “ one
iota," we would advise all our readers
to be sure and plant enough bread
stuffs of all kinds to supply themselves
and then make all the cotton they can.
It is the only thing you can rely upon
to pay your debts with. You can af
ford to grow it for ten cents a pound,
and if you only sell it for this price,
you can make expenses, and all over
that will be clear profit. You can still
pay for your guano at fifteen cents a
pound. Mules can be bought for but
little over half the price they were a
few years ago. Corn and flour are cheap,
meat is the only thing that is high and
every farmer should grow his own
meat and not be dependant upon the
West for it.
Prospects. —The party who said we
judged c f the crop from the outlook on
a few miles of a certain railroad, and
the party who insisted upon our sell
ing a few hundred bales of contracts
for one cent a pound less than their
market value, are brothers we suppose,
from their similarity of brain and judg
ment. They took us for a fool and
most probably judged us from their
own standpoint, as when a man is drunk
himself, he thinks every one else is.
Mr. Wight has certainly “put the
beer” upon his critics. It is a pity
they were not “fooled” in the samo way
he was.
The San Francisco School Board
have been discussing the Lord’s Prayer,
Here is the way they disposed of it:
Mr. Spaulding offered the following
resolution:
Resolved, That in the opinion of this
board the reading or chanting of the
Lord’s Prayer is neither partisan, de
nominational, nor sectarian in charac
ter, and is not in violation of the school
law or the rules of this department.
Mr. Donovan hoped the resolution
would not prevail. Tho Constitution of
the United States guaranteed to all its
citizens the right to worship God as
they pleased. It surely would be very
unpleasant to the children of Jewish
parents to have the Lord’s Prayer
drummed into their ears day after day.
The Lord’s Prayer was partisan and
sectarian, and contrary to the laws of
the land and of the United States.
Mr. Davis (in the chair) —Gentlemen,
I will end this discussion by ruling that
the Lord’s Prayer is partisan and sec
tarian, and that tho use of it in our
schools is contrary to the spirit of the
school law.
Mr. Spaulding—Then I appeal from
the decision of the chair.
The vote was them taken on the ap
peal and the decision of the chair was
sustained.
Corns.—Dr. I. Lindoman, the Sur
geon Chiropodist of St. Louis, has
arrived and taken rooms at the Central
Hotel, were he will remain a few days
only. If you have Corns, Bunions or
Bad Nails he will cure them without
pain or drawing blood. Don’t fail to
give him a call. He cures the very
worst cases of nails without pain.

A Strike.
Yesterday morning, the employes of
the Port Royal Railroad, at Augusta,
made a strike—refusing to work any
longer unless they were paid—claiming
that they had not been paid since the
15th of December.
It appears that yesterday, the 15th,
was pay day, and the hands at this end
of the road came to the shops with
the intention of striking if not paid.
Finding they were not to be paid, all
of them, with unanimity, decided not
to work, and afterward appointed a
committee, consisting of Messrs. An
drew Henderson, J. Gleason, George
ollins and W. D. Robinson, to wait
on the President of the road, Maj. T.
P. Branch. They called on Maj.
Branch, at his office, at the Merchants
and Planters National Bank, and told
him that they must have their wages,
otherwise they would take legal meas
ures to obtain them.
Maj. Bvanch told them they should
get it as soon as it could be had.
Afterward they went to the office of
H. Clay Foster, Esq., and consulted
with him in regard to the matter. The
necessary papers for foreclosing a la
borers lien and attaching the pro
perty uf the road were made
out, but up to five o'clock were not
served. At that time it was probable
that a compromise would be effected.
The hands were assured, as we were
informed, that the officers would pay
them tho cash on hand, SI,OOO, pro
rata, and afterward pay over to them
the receipts of cash at the Augusta
Agency until they were paid in full. —
Their claims amounted to a little over
s3,6oo—tho number of hands who
struck being forty-eight. At one
time it was thought the night train
would be prevented from leaving by a
legal process, but it proved to be
otherwise, as it left on time.
We are informed by several of the
leading workmen that most of the
hands have accepted the compromise
offered, and will go to work again this
morning.

PREPARED THIS FALL, (NOT OLD STOCK,)
BY EDWARD BARRY, M. D.,
PRACTICAL AND AGRICULTURAL CHEMIST.
SOLO BY
EDWARD BARRY & CO.,
28S Broad Street, Augusta, Oa.
The EVIDENCE presented in the statements of the respectable and Intelligent plant
ers of the surrounding counties will satisfy Southern men that this CONCENTRA
TED CHEMICAL FERTILIZER may claim to be equal, If not superior to any In the
market; that being composed of a base of raw-bone, decomposed with Sulphuric Acid,
and a combination of Chemicals, it is devoid of the enormous amount of inert matter
which all Phosphate Rock preparations must contain; and that it presents the best
guarantee of a large prolitable return, as testified to by ail who have used it. We refer
to our Pamphlets for this evidence, as it is too voluminous for our advertisement. The
preparation is varied in composition to meet the condition of the two great classes of
our soils:
Our 0. FERTILIZER adapted to Clay Soils.
Our G. FERTILIZER adapted to Sandy Soils.
