A Broad Hint.
Conspicuously displayed upon the
wall of Judge Claiborne Sneads’ office,
at the City Hall, is the appended elo
quent dispatch :
“The Mathematics of Crime—Statis

death. Take heed that thou no murder
do!”
Could a wayfaring man mistake the
purport of this sublime appeal ?
Bignou A Crump.
We call especial attention to the
cards of this old and standard auction
house. It has become a “household
word” in Augusta and the country
round about, and this branch of
business being an actual necessity it is
gratifying to know that it is in such very
competent hands. The goods on sale
will hereafter be found under the head
of “ Auction Sales” on our third page.
St. Paul’s Festival.
The young ladies of St. Paul’s Sun
day School desire to return thanks to
all those who aided them in their fes
tival. So many kindly gave their as
sistance that it would be impossible to
mention them all. They are, however
especially indebted to Mr. Schneider,
Mr. McLaughlin, the editors of the
city papers, and others. Hoping at
somo future time to invite patronage
they now express a hearty “Thank
y° u " S. P. S. S.
Loose Cows and Horses.
To City Editor : Will you oblige a
reader of your journal by Informing
him if there is an ordinance against
horses and mules running at large in
the city? If there is, I would respect
fully ask that a policeman be request
ed to visit Ellis street, between Lincoln
and Houston, on any Sabbath after
noon, and make a survey. Last Sun
day evening, they were out in full
force, and could be seen runuing down
the sidewalk at breakneck speed,
greatly endangering the lives of chil
dren in that neighborhood. It is a
nuisanbe of the very worst form, aud I
trust that the law (if existing) in rela
tion to it will be enforced. Citizen.
Coroner’s Inquest.
On Tuesday at the plantation of Mr.
N. B. Moore, two miles from the city,
Coroner Kunzeheld an inquisition upon
the body of Lucy Maddox, a colored
woman perhaps sixty years of age, the
jury returning a verdict of death from
heart disease. The husband of the
woman, Albert. Maddox, testified that
sne got up that morning aud dressed,
and after dressing fell forward on the
bed and before he could assist her fell
backwards on the floor. He picked her
up.and placed her on the bed, and she
died m less than five minutes. The
wife had been subject lo heart disease
A post-mortem examination by Dr
Sterling C. Eve confirmed this cause of
death.
The Festival.
The festival at the Opera House was
a success. Several tables tastily ar
ranged with flowers, cakes, strawber
ries, etc., occupied the stage. Augusta’s
fair daughters were there. Among the
the visitors who graced the evening was
the charming Miss H., of Covington,
while Miss Annie M., of Atlanta, bright
ened all who came about her with her
sunny smile. Mrs. May has our thanks
her very kind attention. Mrs. J.T.
Miller, Secretary L. M. A.,assisted by the
Vice Presidents, Mrs. J. M. Clark, Mrs.

Moore and Mrs. Danforth, gave their
personal superintendence to the festi
val; Mrs. Geo. Whitehead, Mrs. N. K.
Butler, Mrs. E. T. Miller, Mrs. Clem

The Annual Festival of the
Augusta Schuetisen Club.
AUSPICIOUS INAUGURATION!
Welcome Address of George W. War
ren, Esq.
MILITARY PAGEANT, PRIZE DRILL.
AND TARGET CONTEST.
The third annual Schuetzenfest of
the Deutscher Schuetzen Club of Au
gusta was inaugurated yesterday un
der the most favorable circumstances.
The weather was warm and sultry in
the morning, and it was thought the
day would be disac reeably hot, but
light clouds overspread the sky, aud
when the Platz was reached the eool
rural breeze was indeed refreshing and
the day proved quite pleasant until
evening.
Early in the morning the German
National colors could be seen in all di
rections, large flags and small, hanging
from windows and balconies from pri
vate residences, business houses aud
other places in Augusta. In many in
stances huge Prussian banners waved
from ropes stretched across Broad and
other streets. The Schuetzen of Au
gusta had every reason to feel proud
of the auspaeious opening of theSchuet
zeufest.
The Aiken Schuetzen Club arrived on
the morning train and were cordially
welcomed, taking quarters at the Au
gusta Hotel.
Street Pageant.
Promptly at nine o’clock the proces
sion was formed on Greene street be
low the Beil Tower in the following
order :
Richmond Hussars—36 men, rank
and file, under command of Lieut. Jno.
B. Clark.
Music—Charleston German Fusilier
Band, 11 pieces, Prof. E. Metz, leader.
Augusta Independent Volunteer Bat
talion, Lieut. Col. T. G. Barrett, com
manding ; Lieut. E. J. O’Connor, of the
Irish Volunteers, acting Adjutant, with
the following companies composing the
Battalion:
Oglethorpe Infantry, Cos. A, Capt.
Wilberforce Daniel commanding—26
rank and file.
Oglethorpe Infantry, Cos., B, Capt.
J. O. Clarke commanding—44 rank and
file.
Clinch Rifles, Capt. F. G. Ford com
manding—33 rank and file.
Irish Volunteers, Capt. M. J. O’Con
nor commanding—2s rank and file.
Carriage containing the King of the
Schuetzen of the past year," Mr. A.
Brenner, and the King of the previous
year, Mr. John Stelling, with visitors.
Aiken Schuetzen Club, President Mr.
H. Hahn commanding—22 members
rank and file.
Augusta Schuetzen Club, Vice Presi
dent C. Huneken commanding—6s
members rank and file.
In the center of the battalion the
flags of Cos. A., Irish Volunteers and
Clinch Rifles were bornh together by
the ensigns of the respective com
panies. The flag of the Richmond
Hussars fluttered above that company,
and the haudsomo bright and large
German national flags of the Aiken
Club aud of the Augusta Club waved
in their places over the centres of
these respective organizations.
■ The whole procession was under com
mand of President Charles Spaeth or
the Augusta Schuetzen Club.
The line of march was down Green
street, through Elbert and up Broad to
McKinne street where a sufficient num
ber of cars of the Street Railroad had
been provided to carry all to the
Schuetzenplatz. The Richmond Hussars
proceeded ahead—mounted. As soou
as possible the cars moved off and the
Platz was soon reached aud the rifle
men and their guests disembarking the
Procession Reformed
and, preceded by the splendid Fusilier
Brass Band, which discoursed fine mu
sic, it moved through the Broad av
enue to the front of the main hall.
A Welcoming Salute
of thirteen guns was fired as the Platz
was approached, with the famous
young piece of artillery known as the
"Baby-waker,” still loud-voiced though
rather aged, and as true aud deep
mouthed as when it was made to lum
ber under the auspices of the late Col.
James Meredith. Each discharge of
the little gun was almost equal to an
ordinary sized army piece of artillery,
aud waked the echoes of the woods in
all directions. A detachment of the
old Washington Artillery, under com
mand of Lieut. Robert Wallace, flred
the salute. The regularity with which
the shots were made showed that these
veteran artillerists have not forgotten
the lessons of their practice on the
tented field.
Opening Ceremonies.
The several organizations were,formed
by companies in column in front of the
hall in the order in which they marched
except that the Richmond Hussars,
being mounted, were drawn up first in
the rear of the battalion. President
Charles Spaeth standing near the cen
ter of the platform,
Greeted
the several companies and clubs, and
said he had great pleasure in intro
ducing George W. Warren, Esq., the
first American citizen that had become
a member of the Schuetzen, and who,
on this occasion, had consented to rep
resent his fellow members and say a
word of weleome to their honored
guests.
Welcome by George W. Warren, Bsq.
Ihua introduced, Mr. Warren said :
The privilege of addressing you to-day,
honored guests, has been tendered me bv
our worthy President Mr. Spaeth, and it is
with feelings of pride and pleasure that I
take advantage of this opportunity of ap
pearing before you.
/n* 1 ? u nan ?? the Augusta Schuetzen
Club, i have the honor of welcoming you
heartily to our fest, aud while wishing that
each and every one may enjoy himself who
has honored us with his presence, to-day,
and go away glad that he visited our platz
and took part in our festivities, we trust
that a nobler and more lasting good shall
be accomplished than mere present enjoy
ment. That a mingling appreciation, and
appropriation of ideas may take place, that
this occasion may be long remembered and
cheerished by us all, and that It may be the
commencement of anew and progressive
era, when the old and Illogical Ideas and
notions shall be buried, which separate us
by an almost impassable barrier from tho
gifted and noble men, who have left their
own homes to cast their future destiny
amongst us. and who are destined to have
a powerful and efficient influence upon our
sunny South, as they are fast building up
the mighty West, populating our cities,
giving new life aud vigor to every branch
of commerce, art, and education, adding
skill and frugal industry to our prostrate
ociaily perplexed condition until wo
snail And ourselves entirely emerged from
g!?il*i HX Uar j tne es into which we have
an< ! recover from the effects or
the present prostration in every branch of
iocial policy 11 H mer and eu^er
Gentlemen', we, the people of America,
want, need, yes invite the Germans to come
among us. Men descended from such il
lustrious ancestors, who, realizing the
smallness of the blessings which nature
has given them, in comparison with some
other European powers from cllmatloal,
agricultural and mineral standpoints!
have by their perseverance, the ever active
force of their wills and tho sound policies
of education, labor and military affairs
which they have adopted, made themselves
the strongest, grandest and most envied
nation in Europe, leading the world also
in the arts, and sciences an ! advanced
thinking. Men, I say, possessing such an
cestral characteristics must and neoessui l
ly will have a beneficial effect by coming
and sharing our lot. It is true our ideas
pf life and living differ in many respects by
inheritance and the early impressions made
upon the mind, still we must not forget
that wo are to a great extent beings of
habit, that our most childish ideas and
those implanted within us by a Divine Pow
er and of intuition are but the product of
custom and the necessary conditions of the
age and state of society in which we live.
Let us, therefore, rise above all such local
and narrow-mindei distinctions that keep
us isolated aud prevent a free and open
meeting as men qualified and endeavoring
to fulfil the requirements of the age and
country in which we live, and as one peo
ple ana one tongue celebrate the third an
nual Schuetzentost of the Augusta Schuet
zen Club.
I hope it shall not prove uninteresting
for me to give you a short history of the
Schuetzen Geselschaft. It had its origin
in the thirteenth century, when all ques
tions of right and justice, both with rela
tion to foreign nations as well as domestic
clans, were decided by a recourse of arms,
and to be in a state of deieucelessness was
to be in a state of absolute slavery. So the
brave men of Germany and Switzerland
formed themselves Into societies, the pri
mary and then almost sole purpose of
which was to practice in the art of shoot
ing. These societies wore looked upon as
the defenders of the homes aud firesides of
every village, and during the gloom and
oppression of the dark ages were the moans
oftentimes of freeing their towns and
provinces from the severities and misgov
ermnont of their feudal lords. Often were
they persecut •<! as outlaws and hunted as
wild beasts—still inspired by the purity
of thir intentions and the holy work that
they were so frequently called upon to
peform, practiced with their bows and ar
rows, in the deep solitude and seclusion of
their forests, and remained, in spite
of all endeavors to exterminate them,
true and intact. After the invention
of gunpowder their character was some
what changed though not destroyed; they
became now much more numerous, soou
extending themselves over France, Spain
and Italy, as well as multiplying them
selves greatly in Germany and Switzerland.
They, now in a state of comparative peace,
became a source of social enjoyment, and
by the institution of their “ Bund© and
Fostz,’ established an intimate relation.
They sent delegates at stated periods to
contend for mutual prizes, aud even when
Germany was divided into an almost innu
merable number of prliiosdoms, each one,
envious of the other and seekiug its des
truction, these Schuetzen Unions had the
effect of enkindling and intensifying a nat
ural sympathy and feeling, and when a na
tional Bund was, by the grand results of
the late Franco-Prussian war effected, no
class of men In Germany so gladly hailed
the Union as the I cbmen >w
to speak very briefly of its origin and pro
gress In America. The first club was or
ganized in Baltimore, in 1350, by a handfull
of Germans, who escaped to this country
during the trying revolution of ’4B. There
the fathers of its existence in America met
upon a small rented spot, and with a single
rille, which had been brought, probably as
au only relic from the fatherland, remained
true to the original idea of the society and
kept alive in memory the hallowed associa
tions from which they had been forced to
sever themselves. This society grew rap
idly in membership, wealth aud mlluonce,
and was soon succeeded by others, North,
tiouth, East and West, until now, where
two or three Germans are gathered to
gether, we find such an organization exist
ing. Its end is primarily as in the days of
its origin, to excel in the art of shooting,
and secondarily as lias been moro fully de
veloped in modem times to cultivate a
irieuulyand social relation, and judging
from the colossal sriccess with which it has
been crowned, no one can doubt of th< sound
ness of its principles or the beneficial re
sults that must be a consequence of its being.
Where do we find any other such organiza
tion, devoted to social enjoyment, where
husband and wife, parent and child cafi
meet in Innocent amusements, where
ladies, without fear or embarrassment, can
unhesitatingly go—where all profane and
improper words are prohibited by a severe
fine—where betting even of five cents is
punished with expulsion—where light and
wholesome beverages are indulged in, in
stead of the usual American “drink” which
will destroy a man’s physical nature and
render him unfit for social and moral de
velopment ? Nowhere; aud 1 feel assured
that every one rightly understanding the
principles and eud or the bclmotzm Club
will enter with a heartier participation in
the festivities of to-day, and wish the noble
men of the Augusta Ketuetzen Club con
tinued success In their future efforts of
progress aud improvement.
Und Nachinal Verchite Gaeste, von
Charleston, Savannah, Columbia und
Aiken, habe ich die Ehte, im nameu unseres
Prosidenten, und der mitglieder dor Au
gusta Schuetzen Club, Ilmen, Wilikommen
zu sagen soin. Sie unserer sehoeneu stadt,
unsorem Platz, unserem Festo, von gan
zem Herzen. Wilikommen, Wilikommen
drelmal Wilikommen!
At the conclusion of Mr. Warren’s
happily conceived and. gracefully de
livered address, President Spaeth cor
dially invited guests and visitors to
proceed upstairs and partake of a ban
quet spread in the hall. Arms were
stacked and ranks broken for the pur
pose, while a special meeting of the
officers of the various military com
panies was held to determine upon
the rules to be observed in the shoot
ing contest. In a few minutes the vol
unteers proceeded in double file to the
lower hall and united in a combined at
tack upon a most substantial repast
spread on three long tables. Each vol
unteer did full justice to the viands
set before him, and accorded a full
meed of praise to the Augusta Schuet
zen.
A Full Description
Of the decoratioas aud arrangement
of the hall and grounds was published
in the Cons iitutionalist yesterday, and
it is not necessary to repeat to-day
what was then said.
Tripping the Light Fantastic.
As soon as the hall was cleared of the
dishes, tables and banquetting, the
band took position on the music stand,
and responsive to their delightful
music couples promptly took places on
the floor, and dancing whiled the happy
hours away.
Target Practice.
Soon after 12 o’clock M. a shot from
the cannon announced that it was time
for the rifle shooting to commence,
and almost simultaneously the rapid
cracking of rifles at the shooting houso
proclaimed that the marksmen had
been on the alert to begin burning
powder as soon as possible. The first
shooting in order was for the company
prize for military companies. Each
company took its turn in the order
mentioned below. Only centre shots
were counted, and targets 100 yards
distance.
Rifle Record, of the Volunteers.
Oglethorpe Infantry, Cos. A., 21 shots
—centres. Oglethorpe Infantry, Cos.
B, 30 shots—centres.
Irish Voluuteers, 24 shots, 2 centres,
made by Privates Daniel Sheahau and
M. Downey.
Clinch Rifles, 30 shots, 2 centres,
made by Ensign J D. Cole and Corpo
ral Edward Walton.
Richmond Hussars, 30 shots, 2 cen
tres, made by Privates Fred Little and
W. M. Dunbar.
A tie having been made by Irish
Volunteers, Clinch Rifles and Hussars,
on centres, each company drew from
all their members one who was to
shot over for his company to decide
the tie. The following were the mem
bers thus selected by chance :
Deciding the Tie.
Irish Volunteers—Corporal J. B.
Kearney.
Clinch Rifles—Marker Thomas Jones.
Richmond Hussars—Private Fred
Little.
Upon firing the decisive shots, Marker
Thomas Jones proved to have made the
best shot, having come nearest the
bull’s eye. This is quite fortunate for
the Clinch Rifles as well as an honor for
the young Marker of the company who
proved himself a worthy marksman in
winning the handsome prize offered for
his own honored corps.
The next in order was the shooting
contest of the officers of the military
companies and staff. The following was
the result, target 100 yards distauce:

Targets for Bchuetzens.
After the close of the contests the
members of the Schuetzen Clubs com
menced their regular shooting in
earnest, targets being 200 yards dis
tant. They continued until sp. m.,the
hour to cease firing for the day, 1,900
shots having beeu fired by them. This
contest will not be closed until Friday,
when the result will be announced and
prizes awarded. At 5 o’clock the com
panies composing the Battalion were
formed preparatory to engaging in
The Military Drill
for the prize offered by the Schuetzen
Club for the best drilled company in
the manuel of arms. The companies
were drilled in front of the hall by their
respective Captains in the following
order 9

The J udges
were Gen. M. A. Stovall, Col. E V

Director John Doscher. Target Master
A. Brenner, Schuetzen King.
The Drill.
Each company was cheered by the
8 1 P| ? ,^ a^ orfl > at the conclusion of the
drill they cheered eacli other. The
juuges re tiled to make their decision,
ami Horn the time they remained
closeted it was thought they had
th . e contest so close as to render
it difficult for them to determine which
was superior in the drill. In the mean
time speculation was rife as to who was
successful, though Company Bappear
ed to have the majority in the opin
ions expressed. After the judges re
turned, it was stated that the result
would not be announced until the mo
ment for the presentatioS of the prizes
should arrive.
The companies wore again formed
and the Battalion, with the Richmond
Hussars the band in the lead—moved
around the rear of the large building
theu to its front, where they formed
in line facing the long platform.
The Prizes
were then brought out and placed on a
table. A large crowd surrounded the
place, anxious to see the ceremony of
presentation.
President Spaetli,
advancing to the front of the table ad
dressed a few words to the several
companies, heartily thanking them ail
lor their aid in making the occasion
such a pleasant one, and expressing
tlie hope that they would bo present
each day until the close of the festivi
ties. He then
Announced the Result of the Contests,
declaring that the Cliuoh Riflos had
won the company prize for shooting ;
Captain Wilberforce Daniel, of Oglo
thorpe Infantry, Cos. A, the officers
prize for shooting; and Oglethorpe
Infantry, Cos. B, the prize for the best
drilled company in the manual of
arms. He then introduced Lieut. M.
P. I< oster of Company B, who he said
would present the two first prizes.
Presentation.
Lieut. Foster gracefully delivered
the first prize to the Clinch Riffles,
the prize being a large silver punch
bowl aud ladle Inlaid witli gold, awar
ded for the largest number of centers
made on the military target. It was
received by Capt. F. G. Ford. Both
made appropriate remarks and re
ferred in complimentary terms to
the young marksman— marker Thomas
Jones—through whose skill it was
won.
Tho next prize was presented by
Lieut. Foster to Capt. W. Daniel—the
prize being a fine silver flower stand,
awarded for the best shooting at the
officers target.
Prof. Banserner, editor of the Savan
nah German Jbcnd Zietung, was then
introduced by President Spaeth, and in
au eloquent manner presented the Ogle
thorpe Infantry, Cos., B, onedozen solid
silver teaspoons, gold lined, in a Mo
rocco case, as the prize for the best
drilled military company in the manual
of arms. The prize was received by
Capt. J. O. Clark, while Lieut. M. P.
Foster responded in a fchort, spicy
speech in behalf of the company.
Cheers
were then given by Company B, by the
other volunteers, and heartily recipro
cated, arter which the battalion was
dismissed and the members started
homewards, the Richmond Hussars
moving off in a body, as well as Com
pany B.
Incidental.
There was not a very large number
of people on the grounds during the
early part of the day, but soon after 2
o’clock crowds began to pour in, and
by 5 o’clock there was as many as we
ever saw before.
As the Clinch Rifles were moving
toward the gate, through the avenue,
a number of them carried their fortu
nate young marker on their shoulders,
cheering him at the same time.
As the street cars had not arrived at
tho platz to bring the military and
visitors back—only one being at the
gate—Company B decided by almost
unanimous vote to march back to the
city in a body.
A tin blunderbuss was presented to
Company B, by Mr. Matt. O’Brien, to be
“contested” for on the 20t,h inst., the
occasion of their annual target excur
sion.
The various amusements—flying
horses, swings, velocipedes, ten piu
alloy, greased pole, bucket slide, were
all well patronized, some of them af
fording a Vast amount of fun to the
spectators at the expense of the young
colored urchins engaged in the sport.

Thk Voice of the Great West.— The
voice of the great West accords to Hos
tetter’s Stomach Bitters the foremost
I place among specifics for malarial dis
ease, and this opinion is echoed wher
ever upon this continent the Bitters’
have been introduced as a remedy for
iutermittont aud remittent fevers. —
Those maladies being the peculiar
scourge of vast regions of country In
the Western aud Southwestern States,
it is not surprising that the Bitters
should be the great medicinal staple of
such localities, or that their inhabi
tants should regard this article as in
dispensable in the household. The ex
perience of the western emigrant proves
that it is the very best means of accli
mating him to unaccustomed air or
water; and old residents of fever and
ague regions say that it is the only
thing that protects them with certainty
against the visitation of miasmatic dis
ease. An equally high estimate Is
placed upon Its virtues as a remedy for
stomach, bowel and bilious csmplaints,
and as a general tonic and corrective.

Catholicus and Acroceraunian.
Mr. Editor : —A correspondent of the i
Savannah Advertiser, styling himself
“Catholicus,” in a somewhat deliant
manner throws’down the gauntlet to
some thirty millions of American Pro- <
testants, and is followed by some weak
brother who assumes the very classic
name of “Acroceraunian,” and raises a
small cloud of dust, by which my ques
tion is concealed from the view of your
readers.
It is obvious, however, that the lat
ter correspondent apprehends the dif
ficulty in which the former has invol
ved himself.
It is not with Dr. Ford’s learned lu
cubration that “Catholicus” or his
friend and follower wishes to deal. Nor
does either of these correspondents
raise a single issue with Dr. Ford on
any principle advanced by the learned
lecturer.
“< ;atholicus” challenges* Dr. Ford or
any Protestant to prove that the dogma
of Transubstantiation and the dogma
of Papal Infallibility are not In har
mony with the principles of science.
Now neither law nor logic requires a
Controversialist to prove a negative.—
The onus probandi rests with the chal
lenger, and I have been looking for his
proof. He has had time enough to pro
duce it, but has failed to do so.
In the second canon of viii chapter of
13th session of the Council of Trent it
is said: “If any one shall say that in
the sacred and holy sacrament of the
Eucharist, the substance of the bread
and wine remains conjointly with the
body and blood of our Lord Jesus
Christ and shall deny that wonderful
and singular conversion of the wholo
substance of the bread into the body
and of the whole substance of the wine
into the blood, the species only of
bread and wine remaining, which con
version indeed the Catholic Church
most aptly calls transubstantiation; let
him be anathema”—that is let him be
accursed. Now every Protestant denies
this dogma, therefore every Protestant
is accursed by the Churoh of Rome.
Again canon third : “If any one shall
deny that in the venerable sacrament
of the Eucharist, the whole Christ ,is
contained under each species and under
every part of each species when se
parated ; let him l e anathema, that is
let him be accursed. Every Protestant
, denies that the whole soul, body, blood
, and Divinity of Christ is present in
■ every part of the host. Therefore
every Protestant is accursed by this
canon and by all who hold it.
Now “Catholicus” and his friend “Acro
eerauniau,” are bound to prove that
both the two canons which I have
quoted are in harmony with the teach
ings of pure science.
When they have demonstrated this
proposition, they are bound to furnish
proof that the Vatican decree of Papal
Infallibility is also in harmony with
the doctrines of modern science/
In common with millions of Protes
tants in Europe and America, I am
anxious to know the lessons of pure
mathematical science which inculcate
either of the above dogmas. I once
heard of a learned priest of the Church
of Rome who undertook to prove to
liis congregation the doctrine of Pur
gatory by the “Parallelogram of For
ces.”
If two forces be applied to a body in
opposite directions, it will move in the
direction of neither, but along the di
agonal line of a parallelogram formed
by these two forces. So said the
learned expounder: If yrace pull the
soul up heavenward, and sin pulls it.
down helhvard, it will go in neither di
rection but along a middle line ; that is
into a middle state, or into Limbus
Patrum —that is, into Purgatory.
I hope the demonstration of “ Ca
tholicus ” will be somewhat more sci
entific than that of the Purgatorial
problem. Respectfully,
** Catholico.”
