At the Greene Street Baptist Church,
Sunday night, there was a large con
gregation present, every seat being
filled and many persons standing, to
witness the ceremony of Bap'tism. This
interesting rite was administered to
thirteen persons—ten young ladies and
three young men. The occasion was
deeply solemn and impressive. Over
twenty new members have lately been
admitted to this church.
At Kollock Street Baptist Church,
tliero was also a large congregation
present Sunday night, when two new
members wore baptized. Rev. J. S.
Patterson, the Pastor, officiated, and
great interest was manifested in the
services, fully 150 persons coming for
ward for prayer, and eight professed
conversion. It is expected that large
additions will be made very soon to the
membership of this church and Asbury
M. E Church, which is in the same lo
cality.
The street meeting of the Young
Men’s Christian Association, held Sun
day afternoon in the street near the
Augusta Factory, was a great success, a
very large number of people being pres
ent, Rev. J. S. Patterson preached, and
over one hundred persons, young and
old, came forward and gave their hands
to the minister, asking an interest in
the prayers of Christian people, and
thus publicly signifying their intention
of living better lives.
At St. James’ M. E. Church, Sunday
morning, Rev. C. W. Key preached, and
afterward stated that the church
building of St. Lukes’ mission, Harris
burg, of which he has charge, would
be finished in a few days, and probably
be dedicated next Sunday afternoon,
when Bishop Pierce would be present
and officiate.
The usual services were held at the
other churches, Catholic and Protest
ant, and largely attended, the weather
being pleasantly warm.

Fatal Termination of the Washington
Street Railroad Accident.
Mrs. Mary Rooney, the old lady who
was run over by cai's on the Washing

Friday afternoon, died at the City
Hospital about one o’clock Sunday.
Her left leg and a portion of her right
foot had been amputated, but though
she did not apparently suffer greatly,
tliero was little hope for her life, as
she was about 83 years of age.
The body was removed after death
ensued to the residence of her son, Mr.
James Rooney, on Campbell street, and
the funeral took place yesterday morn
ing from the Catholic Church. No in
quest was held on the body, as mem

engineer of the locomotive which was
backing the cars, or to the flagman

That Ghost.
It seems that an explanation can be
made of the ghost story detailed in the
Sunday morning papers. The follow
ing i3 what we have since learned from
the owner of the house at which it
was said the ghost made his nocturnal
visits:
The old man who was reported to
have died in the house last year is not
dead at all, but living and at work. He
boarded with the former occupant of
the house, but changed his quarters
just before tne said occupant moved
away and the house was rented to its
present tenant. He, however, left his
trunks there, which were not removed
until some time after the latter moved
in. of the house is positive
that no ghost has appeared there, and
is certain the neighbors have never
heard or seen any unusual manifesta
tions in the building.
From all we have heard it appears
to us that someone under the influ
ence of spirituous liquors and not
aware of what he was doing, has en
tered the house at different times
when he found the doors were not se
curely fastened, thereby frightening
the inmates. As we stated Sunday
morning, the lady now occupying the
house does not believe in “ghosts,”
and so informed us, and in this
case, though she was rendered nervous
by the appearance of a man in the
house, she <?ould not consider him a
visitant from the land of spirits. We
have no doubt that the whole matter
can be explained after a little investi
gation without damage to any one.
Some decided effort should be made to
stop the visitor from further intruding,
as it appears to be settled that he is a
man whose habits are known to many.
Late Publications.
“ Hope Meredith,” by Eliza Tabor, is
a novel of uncommon interest lately
issued by Harper Brothers. Several
previous works by this author have
met with great success and are all very
interesting. In the one now before us
she shows a rare grip of character and
creates a romance in which the interest
of the reader is deeply centered
throughout.
“ A Rebel’s Recollections,” by George
Cary Eggleston. This work, by a
Southern author, will prove of interest
to the general reader as well as the
students of_ history seeking informa
tion regarding the war between the
States. The title is a goood indication
of the contents—to use the words of
the author (who probably is as well
known North, if not better, than in the
South), he has written chiefly of the
things he saw himself, but this is in no
sense, he says, a story of his personal
adventure. The work is from the
presses of Hurd and Houghton, and
the Riverside press, New York and
Cambridge, and the typography, paper
and binding fine and substantial.
We are indebted to Mr. George A.
Oates, Broad street, for copies of the
above. He also has a full supply of
all the latest issues of novels, and es
pecially standard school books.
Celebration of St. Patrick’s Day.
St. Patrick’s Day will be celebrated
in Augusta to-morrow by a parade and
oration at the Opera House. The mili
tary, and fire companies, with the
various Societies and organizations
participating will meet on Telfair street
at 8)£ o’clock to-morrow morning
where the procession will be formed
under command of Maj. William Craig
as marshal of the day.
After proceeding through the lino of
march as previously published in our
columns, a military high mass will be
celebrated at 10, a. m., at St. Patrick’s
Church, Afterward an oration will be
delivered at Girardey’s Opera House,
by Hon. George T. Barnes.
All of the proceedings in honor of
the day promise to bo very interesting
indeed.
Mirror of Ireland.
This beautiful panorama of Erin’s
Green Isle will be exhibited for the
first time in our city, at Girardey’s
Opera House, to-night. Combined with
the above is the Franco-German War
Panorama, Troupo of Fritz German
Bell Ringers and a talented company
of lady and gentlemen artists, who en
liven the entertainment by sketches,
songs and dances of Irish life and
character, presenting a most enjoyable
evening’s amusement.
All seats secured before 12 o’clock
to-day at Oates’ Book Store will be
sold at 50 cents, after that hour the
price is 75 cents, the same a3 at night.
The ladies and children who cannot at
tend at night will have a special mati
nee given for their benefit on St. Pat
rick’s Day (Wednesday) at 3 p. m., when
the prices will be reduced for children
to 15 and 25 cents. This panorama is
very highly spoken of by the press of
the cities where it has been exhibited.
A Cutting Affair.
An affray occurred about 11 o’clock
Sunday night, on Calhoun street, below
Centre, between William Moore and
George McMahon, in which the former
received a cut on the left shoulder
blade from a pocket-knife alleged to
have been in the hands of McMahon.
After examination by Dr. Tessier, it
was found to be only a flesh wound.
Yesterday McMahon was arrested on
the affidavit of Moore’s brother, charg
ing him with stabbing, and bound over
by Judge Claiborne Snead in the sum
of SSOO for his appearance in the
County Court next Monday.

Handsome Presents: -
Mr. H. B. Plant, President of the
Southern Express Company, and an
honorary member of our gallant mili
tary organizations, has brought to this
city some splendid presents for the
several companies of the Augusta
Battalion, which were informally pre
sented to the respective Captains yes
terday afternoon. The following is a
list of these handsome gifts :
Oglethorpe Infantry, Cos. A—A mas
sive silver soup tureen and a set of sil
ver knives and forks.
Oglethorpe Infantry, Cos. B—A sil
ver fruit stand and silver butter dish.
Clinch Rifles—A superb pair of cut
glass castors and sliding butter dish.
Irish Volunteers.—A Pair of heavy
silver goblets and a sett of silver knives
and forks.
Schuetzen Club.—A silver and por
celain card receiver.
In addition to these costly and valu
able presents, Mr. Plant offers a magni
ficent service of silver plate, consisting
of six pieces, to be presented to the
best drilled company of the Battalion,
the time, place and conditions of com
petion for the same to be stated here
after.
Mr. Plant has exhibited great taste
and menificence in this testimony of
regard for the Augusta military or
ganization, and will no doubt receive
“three cheers and a tiger” for his
generous manifestation of good will
and appreciation.
We dare say the different companies
will go to work with extraordinary fer
vor and industry to win the gorgeous
prize offered for the best drilled or
ganization. It is a trophy any com
pany may be proud of winning and
keeping.

Mr. Editor : In your issue of Sunday
morning you quote :
“ THE METHODIST QUARREL.
“ The Methodist this week says : ‘ We
and the brethren who represent our
church in the South are at cross pur
poses. We offer fraternity to Southern
Methodism; they sound notes of war,’
&c.”
A mere clipping from a newspaper is
sometimes misleading, Tho Southern
Methodist Church is often damaged in
public estimation, and public ideas of
Methodism in the United States great
ly confused by failure to distinguish
between the two Methodisms—that
which is a politico-ecclesiastical organi
zation—the “ power behind the throne
grater than the throne itself”—and
that which has but one mission, viz:
to save the souls of men. One is
the Methodist Church | North | and
the other the Methodist Church
South. The first, in violation of
a solemn covenant made in a Gen
eral Conference of what now consti
tutes the two churches, has invaded
Southern territory, in many places
seized Southern Methodist church
property and tried to govern political
parties in those Southern States. Fail
ing in establishing its supremacy in the
South, it is supreme in the North—
they became, some time time ago, very
fraternal and loving. Not having suc
ceeded in trampling Southern Meth
odism and Southern opinions under
their feet, they resorted to strategy ;
and now the spider invites the fly into
his parlor, very sweetly, and bruin
stands before us smiling very lovingly,
that we may be enticed into his em
braces and hugged to death !
The “ quarrel ” referred to is
the result uf the failure of the trick,
acknowledged by and palpable to one
paper in the South, that is, Northern
Methodist papers established here to
regulate politics and religion, and the
indisposition at the North to give up
the effort to beguile those they have
failed to “ disintegrate and absorb.”

Real Estate as an Investment.
Mr. Editor ; Looking at the article
with the above caption as it appeared in
the Chronicle of the 13th inst., it has
the appearance of being a very poor
venture for one to invest in real estate.
We will look at the investment in
another light, and think we can make
it appear as there, set forth, a one sided
calculation.
We will take the figures in the article
alluded to as correct, except the item
of repairs. Instead of being one hun
dred dollars a year, it would be about
that amount in ten years, (and that
only for painting); no other repairs
would be required in fifteen or twenty
years. That will, reduce the expenses
ninety dollars, making the interest on
the investment four per cent instead of
three.
Now, ten thousand dollar houses are
not such as are usually erected in this
city to rent. No one can afford to live
in such houses except persons of
wealth, and when they build houses at
that cost they are for their own resi
dences—they are not built as an in
vestment— they are built as a homo
for their families in case of death or
reverses. They have the money and
can spend it in that way—it has the
comforts and luxuries. You might as
well expect them to deny themselves
horses, carriages, servants and other
luxuries and invest in bonds (Nutting’s,
Macon and Brunswick, Bullock’s, or
any other) as to deny themselves a
comfortable or stylish residence.
Well, instead of investing the ten
thousand dollars in one house suppose
we divide it up and invest the same
money in—
Five houses at $2,000 each SIO,OOO 00
City tax .’ $133 33
State tax ; 50 00
County tax 27 00
School tax 12 00
Water and bath (no water closets).. 10 00
Insurance 150 00
Repairs io 00
$392 33
Those houses will rent at $350 each. $1,750 00
Deduct expenses 392 33
$1,359 67
making an income on the investment
at the rate of 13>£ per cent, instead of
3, as figured up in the article referred
to. Jack Plane.
The Multiplication of Diseases.—
.Diseases multiply. One begets an
other. A trifling indisposition may,
therefore, originate a complication of
dangerous maladies. Indigestion be
gets far more formidable diseases ; a
multitude of ailments are traceable to
constipation; fever and ague unhinge
the entire nervous system, and are there
fore the source of the protean ail
ments which affect that portion of the
human organism. Hostetter’s Stom
ach Bitters, however, whether resorted
to at the inception of tho§o disorders
of the stomach, bowels or liver, whioh
give birth to the majority of diseases
and disabilities, or taken when they
have ripened into formidable maturity,
are alike powerful to cure. The pro
cess of recovery is, of course, longer
when the malady has gained headway,
but it is none the less certain. Dys
pepsia, constipation, biliousness, kid
ney complaints and intermittent fever,
invariably yield to the operation of the
great alterative and invigorant

the redemption of the bills of the

costs.
A writer in the Savannah News, com
menting upon what he conceives to be
the downfall of Mr. Stephens, wants
to know “ how far short of infamy ”
his recent course falls.
The peculiar objection to Mr. Ste
phens, of late, seems to be his vote on
the Louisiana Resolutions. We know,
for certain, that Mr. Potter, of New
York, who was mainly instrumental in
urging the Democratic members to
vote against the taking up of those
resolutions, admitted subsequently that
Mr. Stephens was right and that he
was wrong. Nine-tenths of the people
of Louisiana seem to be of the same
opinion.
Mr. Stephens is a true patriot and a
man of principle. Would to God there
were more public men of the same pat
tern !

This is the book that has been so ex

“ They are exceeding interesting, and
describe, without mincing words, the
career and crimes of the most heartless
and profligate Prince and King that
England was ever cursed with ; but
they are unfit to bo read, especially by

Would have surely been predicted
by Col. Sellers, in the “ Play of the

called to tho little Faviily Furnace,
which can be seen daily at No. 51 Jack

It will be on exhibition for a few days
more, giving all who desire to see the
littl6 economizer in practical operation,
and what uses it is capable of perform

essary in every family. For the hot
Summer months it is almost indispen
sable, and then it costs only three cents
per day to cook the breakfast, dinner
and supper of any small family, be
sides tbe necessary work between
meals.
We do not hesitate to recommond it
fully, as every one who has seen it
speaks of it as “just what we all need,”
and when all are agreed upon any
point no one needs to question it. We
hope some of our enterprising citizens
may secure its manufacture and sale
for this State and South Carolina.

CHINA. JAPAN. AUGUSTA
A CARGO OF TEA generally passes
through the hands of five or six par
ties before reaching the consumer, and, of
course,; lias to leave ptaqt 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 relvon
the quality of my TEAS, and the price will
be LOW, because there is only ONE instead
of several profits, iia is generally the case.
Retailers furnished in chests, at as low
rates as the same quality can bo bought in
large cities.

BY EDWARD BARRY, M. D. f
PRACTICALAND'AGRICULTURALCHEMIST.
SOLD BY
EDWARD BARRY &iCO.,
388 Broad Street, Augusta, Oa.
THE EVIDENCE presented In tho statements of the respectable and intelligent plant
will satisfy Southern men that this CONCESTR Y
lisD CHEMICAL FERTILIZER may claim to be equal, if not superior to any in the
market; that being imposed 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 G. FERTILIZER adapted to Sandy Soils.
* When ordering please say which KIND Ls required.
