yesterday for the purpose of getting

A New Book.
“ The Maid of Killeena and other

been issued, being No. 434 of Harper’s
Library of select novels.
Mr. Black has written a number of
interesting novels, and the stories com
piled in this issue are fully up to the
standard of his former writings. He
lias, as the Examiner of London says,
an excellent command of sound and
pure idiom, great power of observation
and manifold resources of illustrative
thought.
Mr. George A. Oates has our thanks
for a copy of the above book.

Interesting Meetings of the Y. M.
C. A.
The morning prayer meeting, held
at the rooms of the Association yes
terday, at 6:30 a. m., led by Rev. Mr.
Needham, was well attended, there be
ing a large number of ladies and gen
tlemen and many children in the Hall.
Numerous requests for prayer were
handed to the leader and read aloud
by him, and many fervent prayers as
cended to the Heavenly throne in be
half of the petitioners. The Bible
reading at 4 p. m., on the subject of
“ The Blood of Christ,” was intensely
interesting—the instruction being ob
tained entirely from the Holy Scrip
tures and beautifully illustrated by the
leader of the meeting. At night the
rooms were densely crowded and much
feeling manifested. The meetings will
continue as usual. The subject for the
Bible reading this afternoon will be
the parable of the Prodigal Son and
the Lost Sheep. The invitation to
whomsoever will to attend is extended.
Happy Cal Wagner’s Minstrels.
One of the most fun-provoking per
formances of the season was that last
night of Happy Cal Wagner’s Min
strels. This troupe is one of the best
in this line that has visited Augusta
lately, and this was attested by the
large audience which greeted Happy
Cal last night, the house being filled
and the galleries crowded, with hardly
standing room left.
The programme was so varied that
it would be almost impossible to give
a full description in less than a column.
Wagner presents a minstrel’s perform
ance that depicts negro plantation
manners to the life in many of the
scenes given—while, on the other hand,
there wjis fine singing, with which the
audience was delighted.
The troupe will appear in Macon to
night, but will be in Augusta again on
the 4th of March.

THE MATCH RACE YESTERDAY.
Five Heats—Basil Duke the Winner.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
weather was threatening yesterday
morning, and a heavy rain fell just be
fore noon, preparations were made to
have the match race between Basil
Duke and Lady Patterson come off at
3p.m. at Lafayette Race Course. It
had been postponed from Wednesday
on account of the weather. Yester
day it appeared as though another
postponement would be necessary, but
after two o’clock a rather high wind
arose, which afterward decreased, and
the clouds cleared away, the sun
shining out brightly.
By three o’clock a large crowd had
gathered at the track to witness the
race and the deepest interest was mani
fested in the result —a considerable
amount of money having been staked
on it.
The entries were : J. W. Crawford
enters r. h. Basil Duke.
W. W. Ogden enters s. m. Lady Pat
terson.
Match race—trotting, to harness,
mile heats, best 3 in 5, $1,000—8500 a
side.
In the sale of pools previous to the
race Basil Duke continued to be the
favorite—pools averaging 10 to 4,3, 2.
FIRST HEAT.
A fair start was made on the first
trial. Basil Duke, though taking the
lead on the first quarter, near the
quarter pole he broke his gait some
what, but soon caught up again, and
the two then trotted well together
until near the three-quarter pole. The
mare then broke, but caught up again.
On the home stretch the horse gained
slightly and came in about a half
length ahead. Time, 2:38%.
SECOND HEAT.
After scoring once the trotters got
off well together. Lady Patterson,
however, soon taking the lead, but at
the first quarter pole she broke and
the Duke passed her. He maintained
this position until they neared the
three-quarter pole, when he broke and
the mare passed him and came in first,
about 1% lengths ahead of her com
petitor. Time, 2:34.
THIRD HEAT.
The word “go ” was given on the
first effort for a start, with the mare
taking the lead. On the second quar
ter the Duke passed Lady Patterson,
and continued to lengthen the distance
between them to the end of the heat,
coming home 45 or 50 feet ahead of the
mare. Time, 2:35%.
FOURTH HEAT.
The horses started even, and Lady
Patterson moved forward, leading the
Duke to the quarter pole, after which
she broke slightly and her competitor
passed her. He kept in the lead, ap
pearing to increase his distance until
the last quarter was approached, when
the mare crept up on him, and, to the
surprise of many, got even on the home
stretch, and came in nearly a length
ahead. Time, 2:36.
FIFTH HEAT.
After a good start the horses moved
along smoothly almost neck and neck
in the first half mile, after which the
Duke went ahead at a rapid rate. Ap
proaching the home stretch the Lady
made a strong effort to get even, but
could not do so, and Basil Duke reach
ed the stand some distance in advance,
winning the heat and race. Time, 2:35.
Recapitulation. —lst heat, Basil Duke;
2d heat, Lady Patterson ; 3d heat, Ba
sil Duke ; 4th heat, Lady Patterson ;
sth heat, Basil Duke.
Some of those on the grounds, who
timed the horses, say they trotted the
first half mile in tho last heat in 1:16,
while others made the time to be at
the rate of 2:20 for the first half. A
very strong wind was blowing during
the race, but it did not serve to cool
the enthusiasm of the friends of each
horse as one or the other came in first.
It wa3 one of the most interesting
races which has lately taken place here.
The Action of Charleston Cotton
Buyers.
The following agreement has been
entered into by the principal cotton
buyers of Charleston, a copy of which
has been sent to the factors : “We,
the undersigned cotton merchants and
buyers of Charleston, do hereby bind
ourselves and our firms, and agree
that on and after the 14th of March,
1875, we will purchase no cotton from
any factor except upon the delivery
weight, with the privilege to ourselves
of having the cotton reweighed before
acceptance by us, by weighers of our
own selection, who shall use the beam
scale.” It is signed by thirty-one
firms and individuals.
The Wrong Side of the Meridian.
—On the down hill side of life, which
an old medical writer quaintly terms
“ the wrong side of the meridian,”
when the functions decay and the frame
gradually bends under the weight of
years, the system requires to be sus
tained under the burden imposed upon
it. Innumerable physical ailments and
infirmities then press upon it to which
it had been in earlier life a stranger.
The surest and pleasantest support and
solace -of declining years is found in
Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, long re
cognized as the most wholesome and
agreeable of diffusible stimulants, tho
most potent of tonics and alteratives.
The aged and infirm may place im
plicit confidence in this invigorating
elixir, which not only checks those
maladies to which elderly persons are
peculiarly subject, but in a measure
retards the encroachment of time upon
the constitution. feb26-frsutu&e

Present Methods of Transportation.
Our attention, and that of several
persons, was arrested yesterday morn
ing by the not unusual spectacle of a
suffering animal. The creature, a large
hog, was tied tightly by the legs and
left in the gutter, at the mercy of small
boys, who amused themselves kicking
him to make him increase his strug
gles to free himself. How long he had
been there is not known, probably not
less than an hour ; he was then taken
to the butcher pen. We should think
that these public acts of cruelty would
come under the jurisdiction of the new
city ordinance. The fault was from the
beginning, the original cruel method of
transportation of animals.
It would, no doubt, be urged that it
is useless trouble to consider the com
fort of an animal on its way to tho
slaughter house, and yet it seems
scarcely necessary to report what all
intelligent persons know—that the
meat of a tortured, frightened animal
Is dangerously unwholesome as food,
on the authority of all physicians, and
that the welfare of the public is con
sidered as well as the humble claims
of the animal to humane treatment. A
wooden pen like those used for fowls,
but large enough to admit of their
standing upright, is what is used for
hogs and sheep, in places where hu
mane treatment is practised. The
original trouble of procuring the boxes
would be comparatively small, and
one man only would be required, in
stead of the three or four now employ
ed to confine a struggling animal.

A Flood at Knoxville.
Knoxville, February 25. — The water
is five feet below the great flood of
1867. Many houses and bridges have
been destroyed. The weather is still
threatening. The gas works are inun
dated and mills in all directions are
swept away.
It is old, but good. In early days,
say 1850 or 1851, Lieut. Derby, United
States army, familiarly known as
“Phoenix,” took passage for San Diego.
Derby, advancing to Capt. Bob Haley,
asked the price of passage, to which
the answer came, “ Sixty-five dollars.”
Derby—Capt. Haley, what is the
freight on lumber ? (which was worth
SIOO per 1,000 feet.)
Captain—Fifty dollars per thousand.
Derby—(Who was on deck and a
small man). Well, Capt. Haley, as the
freight on lumber is less than passage
rate, measure me, for I am a board.
The frequent occurrence of Centen
nial tea parties, etc., is bringing into
use again the vulgar fiuukeyism of
styling the wife of our first President
Lady Washington. A “ Lady Wash
ington reception,” of which Wm. Cullen
Bryant, Peter Cooper, and other prom
inent citizens are patrons, is even now
advertised in the New York papers.
Why not call her Mrs. Washington, as
she was known to her husband and
contemporaries ? If we must have the
“ Lady,” why do we not talk of Lady
Grant? and if we must say Lady Grant
why not be consistent and call her
husband Lord Grant?

THE EVIDENCE presented in the statements of the respectable and intelligent plant
ers of tho surrounding counties will satisfy Southern men that this CONCEN TR V
I’ED 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 profitable return, as testified to by all 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 C. FERTILIZER adapted to Clay Soils.
Our 0. FERTILIZER adapted to Sandy Soils.
