A Railroad Collision.
Monday night, freight train No. 9 of
the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta
Railroad, bound South, for Augusta,
collided with a wood train standing at
Gilbert Hollow station, 24 miles this
side of Columbia, causing both locomo
tives to be pretty well smashed, but no
injury resulted to the cars of either
train.
It appears that there is a curve and
heavy grade near this station, and the
engineer of the freight train did not
know of the wood train being on the
track. The only person injured by the
collision was a fireman of the freight
engine, who was bruised about the
legs. The train was due here at 9:40
p. m.
The day passenger train (No. 1), due
here at B:QS p. m. Monday, arrived at 2
a. m. yesterday. This was the same
train which left Augusta in the after
noon, the passengers having been
transferred from the Southward bound
train to it. The regular passenger
train, due here at 8:45 a. m. yesterday,
arrived about 9:20 o’clock, and connect
ed with the Central Railroad train, but
the Georgia Railroad train was com
pelled to leave previous to its arrival.
The Huff Duel Amicably Settled.
The Atlanta Constitution gives the
following regarding the proposed Huff-
Hodgkins duel:
On yesterday morning Mr. Fears
telegraphed to Macon the following :
Atlanta, March 15.
Clisby, Jones & Reese, Macon, Ga:
If Huff and Hodgkins have left, dis
patch them, at my expense, to mutual
ly discharge their seconds and come to
Atlanta. Bev. E. W. Warren and my
seir, their old friends, will settle the
difficulty satisfactorily. Dueling is a
heathenish custom. It is condemned
by God’s gospel and the Christian
world. Good men do not consider it a
mark of physical courage. They are
business men, not duelists —both have
wives and children depending upon
them. Your city wants their services.
Dispatch them at once. Their friends
require ot th eu3 to stop right now and
allow reason an( j common sense and
friends to deeihc. j. w. Fears.
At 5 p. m., he received the following
reply:
Macon, Ga., March 15th, 1875.
ToJ. W. Fears:
Huff and Hodgkins have settled their
difficulty amicably.

St. Patrick—Sketch, of His Life.
We condense the following in regard
to St. Patrick, the Patron Saint of
Ireland, from an article in the New
York Tablet, taken from the “ Manhat
tan Monthly for March
St. Patrick was born at Bonavem
Taberniee (identified by Lanigan as the
modem Boulogne), in Armorican Gaul,
A. D. 373. He was of respectable paren
tage. His father Calphurnius was a
deacon; and his mother Conchessa, a
niece of St. Martin of Tours. The
future apostle of Ireland was called at
his baptism “ Succath,” signifying war
like, “fortis in bello.” It was Pope
Celestine that gave him the name of
Patricius. Patrician was a title and a
dignity among tfie ancient Romans, to
which high privileges were attached.
According to Dion3’sius of Halicarnas
sus some of the Kings of France were
proud to bear the title of Roman patri
cian.
At the age of sixteen he was cap
tured on one of the expeditions of Nial
“of the Nine Host ages,” then King of
Ireland, who was devoted to hostile
forays against the Britons and the
Gauls. Carried into Ireland he was
sold as a slave to Milcho, a petty
prince or king ruling North Dalaruaida
in Ulster, who gave him the care of his
flocks. He spent six years in this
slavery.
Having learned the language and
manners of the country, Patrick effect
ed his escape in the beginning of the
seventh year of his captivity, He
reached his native land after passing
through many dangers, and remained
with his parents some time, when he
formed the resolution of returning and
laboring for the conversion of the is
landers. He went to Tours, Rome and
other places to prepare himself for the
work, and it was many years before he
reached Ireland. Palladius having
died, St. Germain sent Patrick to Rome
with letters to Pope Celestine, who con
secrated him Archbishop, and gave him
the Apostolic mission to Ireland, to
which he bent his course at the end of
the year 432, aged 59.
He eventually lauded at a place
called Maghinis in the present barony
of Lecale. The first point of his mis
sion was the conversion of Dicho, the
Lord of the place, and his family. He
then proceeded from place to place,
and obtained converts everywhere.
About the year 455, St. Patrick
founded the See of Armagh, and the
remaining years of his life he passed
between that city and his favorite re
treat of Saul, in the county of Down, at
which latter place he died, according to
the Annals of Ulster, the Four Masters,
Ussher, Ware, and Colgan, on the 17th
of March, A. D. 493, but according to
the very ably argued inference of Dr.
Lanigan, in A. D. 465. The duration of
his mission in Ireland was, according to
this latter opinion, thirty-three years,
while, according to the former, it
would have been about sixty years,
and his age, which the old authorities
represent as 120 years, is reduced to
78 years by Dr. Lanigan’s process of
reasoning." His obsequies continued
for twelve days, during which the
light of innumerable tapers seemed to
turn night into day, and the bishops
and priests of all Ireland congregated
together on the occasion. A fierce
contest ensued between the people of
Down and Armagh for the possession
of his sacred remains, but it was final
ly settled by his body being deposited
in Down, while a portion of the holy
relics was conveyed to his metropoli
tan church of Armagh.
The Panorama.
Bordwell’s Mirror of Ireland and
Panorama of the Franco-German War
was exhibited at Girardey’s Opera
House last night. The panorama is an
illustration of many of the most promi
nent scenes in the late war between
France and Germany, painted from
sketches taken on the spot by promi
nent artists, and besides there are
many fine pictures of points of interest
in Ireland. The exhibition was inter
spersed with performances by the Fritz
Bell Riegers and other specialities.
Another exhibition will be given to
night at the Opera House, and also a
school matinee this afternoon, at 3
o’clock, for children and ladies, when
it is expected that the school children
and their parents will be present in full
force. The price of admission to the
matinee will be 15 and 25 cents.
Tickets for the exhibition at night
will be on sale to-day at the store of
Geo. A. Oates and a ! so at the door.
The Nocturnal Visitor.
The ghost story seems to have been
reduced to this: That tho people living
in the tenement which is said to have
been visited by the ghostly visitor still
insist that unusual noises, for which
they cannot account, have been heard
at unusual hours, even as late as Mon
day midnight, while on the other hand
the owner of the property insists that
nothing of the kind has occurred so far
as he or any of those living in the
vicinity know of.
We are assured by the lady occupy
ing the house that the doors and win
dows of the house are securely fasten
ed at dark every night, and that it is
j impossible for any person to enter that
j portion of the tenement where the
; ghostly visitant is said to have appear-
I ed,without breaking the locks or doors,
I and none have yet been broken.
Election of Officers.
At a meeting of the Young Mens’
Bible Society, held last night, the fol
lowing officers were elected.

that the assault of a pictorial or verbal
buffoon need not destroy a man’s good

the Louisiana resolutions has been ap
proved by many persons who first
deemed him to be in the wrong.

[New York Tribune. March n.
A FINANCIAL OUTRAGE.
Search. Made in New York Banks for
Unstamped Checks—Protest of the
Bank Managers.
Banking men throughout the coun
try are very much excited over the
action of the Internal Revenue Depart
ment at Washington. This feeling
grew out o! a recent effort on the part
of the Department to establish an
inquisitorial system of investigation
into the manner of transacting business
at the banks, with a view to learning
whether any checks, which were not
properly stamped, have been paid. The
banks were called upon to furnish the
evidence of any carelessness or omis
sion on their part in this respect, the
object being to collect the penalty of
§SO for every check discovered to have
been paid without a stamp. With the
purpose of ascertaining the history and
causes of the proposed investigation,
inquiries were made yesterday, aud the
following information obtained :
In 1862 the stamp tax, always odious,
was imposed as a war necessity.-
Changes occurred from time to time
until 1872, when the stamp law was re
pealed. All requirements for stamps
on papers were cut off, except for
checks, the tax on these being the
smallest and most objectionable of all.
Many believed that it had been the in
tention of Congress to repeal this pro
vision also, and that the failure to do
so was an accidental omission, which
would be remedied at the next session.
The panic reduced the revenue so that
it was deemed inadvisable to do any
thing that would further decrease the
receipts of the Government. In the
meantime, owing to the expectation
that the tax was merely nominal and
not intended to be strictly enforced,
while many thought that it had ac
tually been repealed, a laxity in the
observance of the law was engendered.
Paying tellers in the transaction of
business, without the knowledge of the
chief officers of the bank, would cash
the unstamped checks of customers
who were ignorant of the requirements
of the law. These facts became known
to certain persons hanging upon the
skirts of high officials, who found a
scheme to make the banks pay a pen
alty of their failure to comply with the
law. It is well known that all the
banks have depositors who draw only
a few checks, and when their bank
books are balanced they do not call for
their vouchers. This was well under
stood by the revenue officials, and
therefore it was much more conve
nient for the moiety hunters to attack
a bank where they would have less
trouble in finding evidence than in
searching private offices. They began
their observations in New York several
weeks ago, and have extended all
through the principal cities of this
State and into the New England and
Western States. A formal protest has
been forwarded to Washington by the
bank managers of this city.
Punch’s Advice to a Baby. —Don’t
come into the world in cold weather.
If you are the heir of a branch of the
house of Smith, by no means permit
your parents to christen you Howard,
or Stanley, or Clinton, or Spencer. If
you are a lady-bady, don’t let them call
you Mary Aun, or Mary Jane, or So
phonisby, or Sophronia. Think of your
future husband’s misery under such
conditions. Be int ensely cross to every
body. Nobody asked whether you
wished to enter the world, and you
have a right to protest agaiust being
brought into it. Cry lustily. It is good
for the lungs, and it generally results
in something nine beiDg produced to
quiet you. Allow no one to talk poli
tics in your presence. Howl when you
are smacked, and resist all attempts to
put you th bed early.
