man, and Dr. Wharton of the First
Baptist Church, completes the filling
of the city pulpits, and we cannot re
frain from congratulating these con
gregations upon their selections of pas
tors, and feel that we can tender both
these gentlemen a cordial welcome
from our citizens generally.

A GHOST.
A Veritable Visitant from the Spirit
World.
In the month of February, 1874, a
man died in a tenement house on Tai
cott street, near Cumming. His widow
afterward removed, with her family, to
another locality, and the upper part of
the tenement formerly used by him
was rented by the owner, a brother of
the man who had died, to a lady whom
we will designate as Mrs. P. This lady
moved in about May Ist, with her
family, consisting of a son, who is
nearly 25 years of age, a daughter
nearly grown and a younger son.
Mrs. P. lived in the house quietly
for about two mont's, when, one night
in the middle of the Summer, the
weather beiDg very warm, she was sur
prised at seeing a rran walk in the
room, and go back through the same
door by which he entered, he appa
rently having come down the steps
from the room overhead. From
the description given by those who
saw the supposed spiritual visitant it
appears that he was shabbily dressed,
and walked into the front room where
Mrs. P. was sleeping. His entrance
caused her several times to be awak
ened from her sleep, but the ghost did
not seem to make any noise in the
room of the lady when he entered it,
but after leaving it Mrs. P. could hear
him moving about in the room over
head— an attic room. She says
the noise she heard was like that of a
person walking, and the rolling of a
bedstead about on rollers. Her son’s
bed, in the upper room, was a small
one on rollers, and the noise indicated
that someone was pushing it about.
The lady says these freaks of the
supposed ghost have occurred at in
tervals since last Summer, but as she
did not believe in the possibility of a
spirit from the other land returning to
what is popularly called the land of the
living, she did not care to mention to
outsiders what she had seen, until it
had progressed so far as to make it
a trouble to the neighbors, and es
pecially those living in the other part
of the house.
The ghost has been seen by all living
in the house, and the noise made by
his action has attracted their attention
whenever they were awake. The son
of Mrs. P., who is on the police force,
has been annoyed so much by the
“ghost” that he will not try to sleep in
his room.
The occupants of the lower part of
the house have often heard the noise
made by the ghostly visitant, and one
of them has seen him. The daughter
of the lady who has been troubled
most with the ghost says that he very
often, as he departs, says “ Oh! Lord.”
The trunks containing the effects of
the man who died in the house were
left there, his wife refusing to remove
them until about two months ago, when
they were taken away. The lady
now living ’ there says she knows
nothing of the man who died
there, and is certain he cannot have
any cause to haunt her. She seems to
have bravely stood the ordeal, sup
ported by a clear conscience. The
ghost walks in her room, turns about
and walks out, without touching any
thing. He then goes up stairs and
disappears. He does not seem to come
every night, but when he does come he
makes enough noise to let the inmates
know he is there. He appears, too, to
be of a convivial turn, as the last time
he visited the house he brought a
white flask, apparently filled with whis
key, and endeavored to force the young
man in the room up stairs to take a
drink. The latter refusing to indulge
in the spiritual comfort offered, the
ghost endeavored to force it on him.
Being resisted, Mr. Ghost jumps on the
young man in his bed, and endeavors
to force him to drink, placing his knees
on his breast and trying to choke him.
The occupants >of the lower part
of the tenement intend to move
as soon as possible, as they do
not care to be further troubled with
the ghost. The lady living in the
upper part of the tenement says she
will not move until shfe can better
herself. She does not believe in ghosts
or spiritual visitations, but she will
move if she can find a better house, if
she can obtain it at the same price that
she pays for the one she now occupies.
As yet no explanation has been offered
regarding the ghostly occurrence.
A Probable Duel.
A few days since a communication
appeared in the Macon Telegraph and
Messenger which seemed to reflect on
certain Aldermen of the city. As we are
informed, Alderman Hodgkins took
offense at the article, and challenged
Mayor W. A. Huff, the author, and the
Mayor accepted the challenge. An
effort was made Thursday by tho
friends of the parties to have them
arrested, when it was found that they
had disappeared.
It was thought they had come to Au
gusta for the purpose of proceeding to
Sand Bar Ferry—the historical duel
ling ground —and certain parties came
here to endeavor to prevent the meet
ing, but the principals and their seconds
could not be found.
If the duel took place it was done so
quietly that no one in Augusta knew
of it.
Macon appears to be stirred up con
siderably on the subject. It is said
that neither party will retract, and un
less the meeting has taken place pre
vious to this writing, there is no hope
that it will be avoided.
Personal.
We were pleased to meet Mr. L. B.
Pike, of Macon, yesterday, who, has

in the Atlanta papers of yesterday.

Editors Constitutionalist : On yes
terday the Faculty of the State College
held an election for the purpose of
filling the vacancv caused by the re
cent death of Prof. C. A. Atkinson, and
it is my pleasant duty to announce the
fact that Mr. Wm. H. Fleming, an un
dergraduate, and at present a student
in the University, was unanimously
elected. Mr, Fleming is from Augusta,
and his progress since entering College
has been so brilliant that it has at
tracted the notice and excited the
admiration of both Professors and
students. Doubtless his many friends
and admirers will be rejoiced to learn
of his good fortune, and Augusta may
well be proud of her worthy representa
tive. Brasidas.

A Southern School History.
“History of the United States for
school and academies, by Joseph T.
Derry, Professor of ancient languages,
in Academy of Richmond county, Au
gusta. Ca.” We have just seen a copy
of this work and consider it one of the
best school histories for children yet
published as the author is ji Southern
man, a native and resident of Augusta,
who stands in the front with the best
scholars and teachers of our State.
This work is designed as an intro
ductory history, and tho plan of alter
nate questions and answers has Lren
adopted, because it is considered the
best arrangement for those pupils who
are not sufficiently advanced to judge
for themselves in all instances as to
what is the correct answer to a ques
tion placed at the foot of the page.
The book is published by J. B. Lip
pincott, Philadelphia, who has also
lately issued Sanford’s Arithmetic. The
copy before us is typographically ex
cellent, and is a credit alike to the au
thor and publishers. It will be placed
on sale in a few days.
Correspondence.
Augusta, Ga., March 10,1875.
To the Officers of the Baptist Mission :

CARD.
CHINA. JAPAN. AUGUSTA
A CARGO OF TEA generally passes
through the hands of five or six par
ties before reaching the consumer, anu, of
course, has to leave profit with each, thus
making yery “ dear goods.”
I have a large assortment of TEAS, and
make a “specialty” of them in my busi
ness, regarding the quality and price.
They are bought from the IMPORTER,
direct from CHINA and JAPAN, thus get
ting them from first hands, with only
freight and United States Receiver’s com
mission added to cost in China.
I would say to the public they can rely on
the quality of my TEAS, and the price will
be LOW, becauso there is only ONE instead
of several profits, as is generally the case.
Retailers furnished in chests, at as low
rates as the same quality can be bought in
large cities.

EDWARD BARRY & CO.,
Buoad Street, Ga.
THE EVIDENCE presented in the statements of the respectable and intelligent plant
will satisfy Southern men that this OONCENXRA
rtiD CHEMICAL FEltl ICLZER may claim to be equal, if not superior to any in the
market; ''hat being composed of a base of raw-bone, discomposed with Sulphuric Acid,
and a combination ot 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 voluminc us for our advertisement. The
preparation is \aried in composition to meet the condition of the tsvo great classes of
our soils:
Our C. FERTILIZER adapted to Clay Soils.
Our Gr. FERTILIZER adapted to Sandy Soils.
