THE BEAUTIFUL FOUNTAIN
In the centre of the soldiers’ section
was a remarkable point of attraction.
The spray from the jet in the centre
made the large bouquets of flowers on
either side of it glisten with beauty.
On the upper or west bank of the
fountain, the tattered battle flag of the
48tli Georgia Kegiment was placed,
with the standard supported in the
earth. Just at its base was a large
circle of flowers, in the centre of which
was the name of R. E. Lee, in green.
This attracted marked attention, a
large crowd being around the fountain
all the afternoon.
THE GRAVES OF FEDERALS,
in the lower part of the Cemetery,
were also handsomely decorated. There
are, we learn, 52 Federal soldiers buried
in our Cemetery, and on each grave
flowers were placed yesterday after
noon. The valor of the Federal sol
dier is appreciated by the brave South
ern soldier, even as they respect the
bravery of all honorable foes.
THE KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS
made a very handsome decoration of
the graves of their deceased members,
Dr. Flournoy Carter and Mr. George
Walker, in private sections. There
were also other private decorations of
which we could not obtain a note.
CREDIT DUE.
The ladies are greatly indebted to
Mr. Geo. Symrns, one of our best flor
ists, for his kindness in giving his
whole attention to the superintend
ence of the task of preparing the sol
diers’ section, and also skilfully ar
ranging the decorations. Without his
assistance they probably would not
have succeeded so well in this good
work. The Mura Bros, were engaged
to lay off the section, and well did
they do their work. Mr. Symrns
speaks in high terms of their skill in
gardening. Mr. Markwalter. furnish
ed and laid the stone for the coping
around the section, while Col. J. O.
Clark had the brick work done.
SALUTES IN THE CEMETERY.
After the companies stacked arms at
the Soldiers’ Section, Oglethorpe In
fantry, Cos. B, was reformed by Capt. J.
O. Clarke, and proceeded to the grave of
Hon. A. J. Miller, former Captain of
the Oglethorpes, where they saluted in
honor of his memory, thence proceeded
to the grave of Gen. John K. Jackson,
when another salute was offered. —
Afterward they saluted at the grave of
Sergt. Samuel Holmes.
The Irish Volunteers also marched
to their section in -the Cemetery and
made a salute in honor of the memory
of their dead buried there.
At a late hour in the afternoon the
Battallion was reformed and marched
up town and were dismissed on Broad
street.
WASHINGTON ARTILLERY.
The following are the names of the
officers and men composing the de
tachment of veteran members of the
Washington Artillery who fired the
salute on Broad street: Lieut. Robt.
Wallace, Lieut. R. Summerall, Sergt.

THE STREET RAILROAD COMPANY,
with commendable enterprise, during
the day yesterday, ran two cars on
each trip—one following the other—to
accommodate the large number of peo
ple going to and coming from the
Cemetery. While the ceremonies at
tendant upon the laying of the corner
stone were in progress, the cars on the
upper line only ran to Jackson street,
while those on the lower line ran to
Mclntosh street—so as not to inter
fere with the crowd about the founda
tion of the monument. Transfer tickets
were used for those desiring to go be
yond the points where the cars stopped.

idea, and commend it to the consider

Crazy. —A crazy colored woman from
South Carolina, yesterday, attracted
the attention of the colored juveniles,
male and female, who made considera
ble fun of her while the procession was
passing down Broad street, until, at
the corner of Washington street, she
let one of the feminine gender have a
good lick on the mouth. The police
coming up at the time prevented fur
ther encroachments on her liberties,
and she departed in peace.
Celebration of the Fifty-Sixth An
niversary of Odd Fellowship. —The
Odd Fellows of Augusta will celebrate
their fifty-sixth anniversary to-night
at their hall, by an address from P. G.
D. B. Woodruff, of Macon, and other
appropriate ceremonies. Those of our
citizens who appreciate good works
done in secret for the benefit of man
kind, and who recognize the bonds of
“ Friendship, Love and Truth ” which
bind humanity together in one com
mon brotherhood, may, by attending
this celebration, pass a pleasant eve
ning among those whose mission it is
to do good without the hope of re
ward, §ave that which ever flows from
the discharge of duty. The institution
of Odd Fellowship has long command
tke admiration of true men, and we
think its anniversary will equal in
pleasure the blessing it so well de
serves.
The Concert for the Benefit of
the Richmond Hussars.— A crowded
audience, composed of our most at
tractive ladies and gentlemen, assem
bled at the Opera House last night to
enjoy the instrumental eoncort given
by the 18th United States Band for the
benefit of our gallant Richmond Hus
sars. It is impossible to describe the
pleasure folt by every member of the
audience as march and waltz, polka
and song enraptured them. We can
not, on account of our crowded columns,
say more than to express unqualified
admiration for the entire performance,
and in the name of those present thank
the Band and the Richmond Hussars
for the opportunity to do so.

THE STREET RAILWAY.
A Final Settlement of Difficulties.
We learn from the officers of the
Street Railway that a final settlement
has been made of their difficulties. On
yesterday the C. C. & A. Railway com
promised on the following basis: All
local freights to and from Augusta
free of charge. All through and local
passenger free. The street Railway
gave to the C. C. & A. Railway about
$2,000 over-charges on labor account
and half the amount due for the
months of February and March, 1875.
The only charge made by the Augusta
and Summerville Railroad now is 1%
cents per 100 lbs on all through freight
except cotton, which is 7% cts. per
bale. The Augusta and Summerville
Railroad paid over $22,000 damage to
property holders on Washington street.
We are glad the Street Railway has at
last emerged from its troubles and
trust that it will henceforth have plain
sailing and a prosperous career.
The Firemens Section in the Ceme
tary.
This new section for the firemen of
Augusta has been laid off, flowers
planted in it and it is made one of the
most beautiful in the City Cemetary. A
handsome new small fountain has been
placed in the centre of it by Mr. C. A.
Robbe. The fountain has three basins
with a spray jet at the top. In the
two lower basins there are large arti
ficial water lilies and in the top one
water violets are placed. The whole
looks as natural as growing flowers.
Indeed some ladies looking at them
Saturday, and not knowing them to be
artificial remarked that they looked
like they could be planted in the beds.
A number oi choice plants presented
by Mr. P. J. Berckmaus are planted in
different places. Messrs. Mura Bros,
gardeners, had charge of laying off the
section, and the work has been done
in the neatest manner, There is as yet
only one grave in the square, that of
Wm. Miller of Vigilant No. 3. It is ex
pected that the remains of Mr. Roe a
fireman who was killed many years ago
by a falling wall, at the burning of the
establishment of Messrs. Platt Bros, aud
other buildings on Ellis street, will be
removed to this section
In this connection we cannot help
speaking of the general appearance of
the whole cemetery. It seems like a
vast flower garden that is cleaned
every day and trees and evergreens al
ways kept trimmed neatly. Mr. W. A.
Brazaal, Superintendent, and Mr. John
M. Bunch, Sexton,are entitled to credit
for their unremitting attention to their
duties, and, with the hands em
ployed there, they keep the walks
and drives perfectly smooth and
the whole place, as neat by com
parison as a parlor, if suoh an ex
pression can be used, while Mr. Feu
Wilson, the cemetery detective, is con
stantly on the look out, and guards
with fidelity the choice plants and
flowers placed by loving hands around
the graves of dear friends or relatives.
Nothing escapes his notice that occurs
in the cemetery, and any infringement
of the rules by any one is promptly
reported and the offenders must bear
the penalties. All of these gentlemen,
with Col. J. O. Clarke, rendered mate
rial assistance to the ladies in prepar
ing the Soldiers’ Section for Decoration
Day, for which they were truly thanked.
Sunday School Service in St. John’s
Church.— A very delightful service was
held in St. John’s Church last Sunday
night, for the children of the Sunday
School, or rather, it was held by the
children, for we are indebted to them
for the pleasurable occasion. The large
church was literally packed with peo
ple, the galleries also being nearly Ail
ed. Tire addresses and recitations
were all appropriate and finely render
ed by the little folks. The whole wa3
concluded by a short, interesting,
instructive address by Rev. Joseph
H. Echols. Take it altogether, the ser
vice was delightful and profitable.
Bremond’s Specialty Combination. —
This flue troupe opens to-night an en
gagement of three nights at Girardey’s
Opera House. A most attractive bill
of special amusements is offered.—
The press of various Southern cities
speak in high terms of all parts of the
programme, and record the fact that
crowded houses attested their appreci
ation of the amusements offered. The
troupe had engaged the Opera House
here for Monday night, but generously
relinquished their right to it for the
benefit of the Richmond Hussars,
whose concert took place last night.
The troupe thus were compelled to
lose a night, which is very expensive
to the management. They deserve a
crowded house to-night.
The Atlanta Excursion. — We are
requested to state that only a limited
number of tickets will be sold for the
excursion to Atlanta, arranged by Rev.
Father Butler, of the Church of the
Sacred Heart, so as to make the trip
as agreeable as possible. Hence those
who desire to go should purchase
their tickets at once. Tickets are on
sale at Quinn & Pendleton’s, A. Pron
taut & Son’s, O’Donnell & Burke’s,
Mullarky Bros.’, Jas. A. Gray’s, P.
Keenan’s, Gallaher & Mulherin’s and
Henry Kennedy.’s.
The Bremond Specialty Combina
tion—A Worthy of
Notice.
Mr. Editor: The Bremond Dramatic
Company, having been under engage
ment for this week, at the Opera
House, kindly and cheerfully yielded
Monday, 25th inst., for the Richmond
Hussars Benefit Concert. Besides, took
occasion to tender the services of their
fine orchestra to the Ladies’ Memorial
Association on yesterday, and offered
to join in the same. Such fraternizations
are evidences of a better time and new
era of feeling dawning upon this coun
try. This merits the appreciation of
our city, and as a cordial testimony of
the same, it is proposed to give them a
crowded house, which even their high
reputation as a fine aud talented or
ganization deserves.

Unwholesome Food. —By the un
natural combination of different arti
cles by ignorant persons for baking
powders, (even if articles are pure)
they render the food very indigestible,
as the chemical action, when they enter
the stomach, prevents their being di
gested. Of these mixtures it requires
but a small quantity to make food very
unwholesome. Dr. Price’s Cream
Baking Powder is the only powder pre
pared by the application of scientific
principles, combining all the elements
of a perfect powder, thus making it
safe, economical, and nutritious, and
only to be equalled in purity and
strength by his True Flavoring Ex
tracts, with which every housekeeper
should be supplied. apr27-tuthsa&c

A Few Corrections.
Editoi' Savannah Advertiser:
I deem it my duty to correct a few
erroneous statements made by Dr. De-
Saussure Ford in his address to the
Medical Association of Georgia, as re
ported in your paper of 22d instant.
First, “The discussion of the anta
gonism between the scientist and the
theologian would be almst endless,
because in the words of another —‘to
reconcile science and religion is like an
endeavor to measure two constantly
expanding scales by comparison with
each other.’ ”
The truth is. there is no antagonism
between true science anti true theology,
that is, catholic theology. There may
be antagonism between science and the
fanciful lucubrations of some religion
ists, such as Darwin, Manes, Montao,
Luther and others, or between the va
garies of some scientists as Tyndall,
Huxley, Mill, Draper, etc., and ortho
dox, that is, catholic theology. But
there is no antagonism of any kind be
tween any principle of reason, any
truth arrived at by science, and any
dogma proposed by the Roman Cath
olic and Apostolic Church, the divinely
appointed depositary and expounder of
Divine Revelation.
We challenge any scientist to name
one truth of science that contradicts
one single doctrine upheld and taught
by this church, from her doctrine of
the real and substantial presence of
Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist to
that of the infallibility of the Pope.
Should Dr. Ford or any one else ac
cept the challenge, we shall come forth
and discuss the question publicly, ver
batim or through the press, as "it will
suit them.
Secondly, Said the Doctor again:
“The domain which theology of old al
lotted to the devil science has rescued
to the service of religion by the revela
tion of its marvelous powers aud ca
pacities.”
Human interpreters of God’s word
may and must have varied in their
doctrine concerning the devil, as in
every other doctrine ©f their’s; but the
Catholic Church teaches to-day what
she taught of the devil eighteen hun
dred years ago—that is, what Christ re
vealed unto her about him.
Thirdly. From theology let us pass
to science. The following are the proud
claims which Dr. Ford makes for her :
“With this analytic system (the Ba
conian process of induction) the scien
tist reaches the ultimates in the whole
range of the physical domain. * * *
Nature, in all her beauty of unity aud
variety, as in obedience to the man
date of some sovereign will, discloses
to him everything.” This reminds us
of Vic de la Mirando Ca’s bravado :
“De omni re scibili et quibusdam aliis .”
The Baconiau process reaches the
ultimates of nothing in the field of na
ture. The ultimate of every corporal
being (and this is the only kind of be
ing science, as now understood, claims
to deal with) is the substance of that
being ; but the substance of no cor
poral being is cognizable by science.
Even Locke, the father of materialism,
admits that “the substance of bodies
is altogether unknown to us,” Thus
Liebmtz. To any one who would style
himself a greater scientist than these,
I would ask the following question :
“ What is the substance of a drop of
water ? ” Water, he may tell me, is a
compound of 88.9 of oxygen and 11.1
of hydrogen. It is, but, O admirable
chemist, have we to teach you that the
knowledge of the components of a
body is not the knowledge of the sub
stance of that body ? A certain gas we
call oxygen, another hydrogen. What
is the substance of either? Aud what is
the substance of that new body called
water, the result of tiie combination of
both ? A body which is neither oxygen
nor hydrogen ! Webster may tell us
that water is a fluid—colorless, taste
less, ponderous, transparent, etc. He
might add : Good for Christians to
drink, for fishes to swim through, for
ships to sail upon. A fluid in which
there is heat, electricity, magnetism,
and many other things. These are
properties of water, not its substance.
Substance, from the Latin sub stare,
means that which is under what is
seen, touched, weighed, measured or
reached by any sense of man. “Inti
mas corporum substantias sensu cognos
cimus,” as Newton has it.
Substance is the ultimate of every
material being. It is even back of the
atoms unreachable by human skill, ex
cept in their agglomeration, whatever
Dr. Ford says to the contrary.
Scientists, for the v.ant of modesty,
a necessary accompaniment of true
knowledge, have disgraced science.—
They have made it signify every thing
but what it should be-the knowledge
of things natural as they are in them
selves, not as they are in the brain of
Epicurus or Tyndall.
A f ain, by their ridiculous pretensions
of determining the boundaries of
theology, they invariably remind those
around them of that old saying, “Let
not the cobbler go beyond his last.”

“ Stupid /” interrupted his wife, “ I

“ Nonsense! what a fool—”
“N-o-n, non; s-e-n-c-e, sence; non

“Pshaiv! Did you ever—”
“S-h-a-w. shaw. Don’t lem me have
such easy ones. I can spell eight syl
lables easy enough, every time. Cau’t

She went out, slammed the door, and
went into Mrs. Meander’s, and told the
old lady that her husband had got a
terribly bad spell of obstinacy.
“It’s them ’ere contested spellin’

Promisory' Notes Due on Holidays.
Mr. Editor—ls a promissory note, fall
ing due April 26th, 1875, payable on Satur
day, April 24th, or Tuesday, April 27th ?
The General Assembly, by act of Febru
ary 23d, 1875, section 1, enacted that April
26th should be a holiday, and deemed all
notes falling duo on that day payable on
the secular or business day next preceding
such holiday.
By section 2d it was enacted that when
the 26th fell on Sunday the Monday next
following should be doemod a holiday, and
the notes which would otherwise be pre
sentable for payment on Monday, should
be deemed presentable on Tuesday.
By section 3 it was enacted that when a
note falls due on Sunday, whethor it is
either of the days named as a holiday, the
same is payable on Saturday.
If the holiday was any other secular day
than Monday, the note would fall due the
day before; and - , as the act provides that
Monday shall be celebrated for Sunday,
when the holiday falls on Sunday, and in
that event gives the maker until Tuesday
to pay, the question arises whether the
maker is not entitled until Tuesday to
pay, when Monday is itself the holiday, as
when celebrated for Sunday. I do not
think so.
The giving until Tuesday to pay, I think,
exists where a day is celebrated as such on
which the holiday does not fall; but where
the day of the holiday is known to fall on
a secular day, the next business day pre
ceding is the day of payment, whether
Sunday intervenes or not.

ANALYSIS
OF THE
LAGER BEER
FBOM
E. ANIIEUSER & CO.,
IN ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI >
U. S. NAVAL LABORATORY, (.
, New Yobk, September, 1874. s
The “ST. I.OUIS LAGER BEER” of E.
Anheuser & Cos., at St. Louis, Mo., having
been analysed, gave the following results:
Specific Gravity .1.02 per cent.
Extracted Matter 7.32 “
Carbonic Acid 0.16 “
Alcohol 4.89 “
Ashes 0.24 “
From these figures it will be readily seen
that the “St. Louis Lager Beer” proves a
heavier specific weight than all other beer
now manufactured in our market; its sub
stance of carbonic acid is superior even to
the Scotch Ale, Salvator Beer, Braun
schweiger Mumme and Munchener Lager
Beer • its substance of alcohol comes near
the ‘‘Munchener Hofbrau,” and its extract
substance proves to be between the “Zacherl
Doppelbier” and the “Salvator Beer.”
CONCLUSIONS FBOM THE ANALYSIS OF THE
quality:
The quality of this Beer, as shown by our
analysis, is superior by its pureness, as no j
extraneous matter could be detected. The j
largo amount of extract substance (malt be- |
ing used in extraordinary groat quantities,
which, having been roasted, gives the beer
that peculiar flavor of fresh bread) makes
this beer a very nourishing and highly re
commendable drink for medicinal purposes.
Another good quality of this beer is that it
keeps in good condition under all circum
stances. W. C. CONRAD,
Chemist of U. S. Naval Laboratory.
