Good Work.
We have a good word to say for Mr.
William Painter, carpenter. In the
“reconstruction” of the Constitution
alist office we have many specimens
of superior workmanship from his
shop. In the construction of the new
editorial and store rooms, as well as in
the manufacture of desks, tables, book
cases, shelving and elevators, he ex
hibited both skill, ingenuity and mas
tery of his profession.
Robbing of a Richmond County Store.
On Friday night a robber entered the
store of Wm. Bush, six and a half
miles trom Augusta, on the Washing
ton load, and stole all the money in the
establishmentjand a quantity of groce
ries and whiskey. Mr. Bush was in
the city yesterday and took out a war
rant for a negro whom he suspects of
being the thief.
Clinch Rifles.
This company will, as stated in our

Geo. A. Oates, and a dressing case,

First Barrel of New Wheat Flour.
We received at this office yesterday
the first barrel of new wheat flour
ground in Augusta. It was from the
celebrated mill of John M. Clark & Cos.,
and was of his renowned Gilt Edge
brand. This is a few days later, we un
derstand, than the first ground last
year. From a private note from
Messrs. John Clark & Cos., we learn
that the wheat from which they manu
factured the flour was grown at Wood
lawn, near this city, by Mr. Wm. M.
Fisk, an amateur farmer.
They yesterday made the following
shipments:
One barrel to R. M. Leas, New York,
for the benefit of the organ fund of
the First Baptist Church of Augusta.
One barrel to T. R. Matthews & Sons,
Baltimore, for the benefit of the Church
of the Atonement.
One barrel to Marmaduke & Brown,
St. Louis, for the benefit of the Ladies’
Memorial Association.
The shipments to New York and Bal
timore were kindly foi warded free by
Mr. W. M. Timberlake, Agent of the
Atlantic Coast Line, and that to St.
Louis, by Col. S. K. Johnson, Agent of
the Georgia Railroad. They will doubt
less be the first received in those mar
kets from any point in the United
States. It is really gratifying to know
that Augusta carries off the prize. We
know her mills to be acknowledged in
sdtutions of the city, and her citizens
point with pride to them.

Paul Massie. A novel. By Justin
McCarthey. Sheldon & Cos.
The Pall Mall Gazette says of this
work that it has the very unusual merit
of uniting, without incongruity, the in
terest of romantic incident with the in
terest of striking sketches of natural
character. * * * We may say that,
altogether, v;e have not read many
books so full of promise as “Paul
Massie.”
Love Afloat. A novel. By Lieut.
Shephard, U. S. N. Sheldon & Cos.
This novel is dedicated, by permis
sion, to Admiral Rogers. The scene is
laid in the West Indies, in the days
when our navy was engaged in driving
out the pirates. Besides being a most
charming story, it gives a real and
vivid picture of life on board an Amer
ican man-of-war.
Messrs. Quinn & Pendleton have our
thanks for copies.

THE RICHMOND HUSSARS.
Annual Barbecue and Target Excur
sion.
This well known and popular cavalry
corps will give their annual target
shooting and barbecue on next Wed
nesday, at the Schuetzenplatz, when a
gala day is expected. Their prizes were
placed on exhibition in Brahe’s window
yesterday, and created universal admi
ration by their especial fitness and
beauty. Their first prize for lady hon
orary members is a very handsome
silver “pie set” of thirteen pieces,
beautifully ornamented. The second
prize for lady honorary members are
two silver berry spoons, presented by
the Schuelzen Club to the company.
The third prize for lady honorary mem
bers is a very beautiful toilet set, pre
sented by Mr. H. B. Plant. This prize
was gazed on with longing eyes by
many a fair damsel who coveted its
ownership. Their prizes for members
areas follows:
A handsome nickle-plated sabre and
morocco belt, presented by the lady
honorary members.
A fine English saddle and military
bridle, also presented by the lady hon
orary members.
A handsome silver-mouuted pistol,
presented by Lieut. P. L. Cohen.
Pair of gold sleeve-buttons, present
ed by Mr. Wm. Finch.
Gold-headed cane, by a member of
the corps.

sented by Messrs. Pelot & Cole.
The Misses Goss and Johnson have
presented to the Company a beautiful

discoursed such sweet music on Memo
rial Day, has been engaged for the oc
casion, and will furnish the dancing
music. The shooting will begin at 10,
and dancing at 12, at which time the
ladies are invited to attend. Dinner
will be served promptly at 2, and from
all appearances the guests of the Hus
sars will pass a most delightful day.

The Western Railroad.
[Atlanta Constitution.)
Chancellor Austell comfirmed the re
cent sale of the Western Railroad of
Alabama, and the property is now fully
vested in the two great companies of
Georgia. It is stated that under the
new proprietorship, the eastern termi
nus of the road proper will be Opelika.
The Georgia company will operate the
section between Opelika and West
Point, and the Central company will
run the section between Columbus and
Opelika, and the two companies will
jointly operate the balance of the long
line.
President Pollard and Superintend
ent Ball, of the now defunct railroad
company, have resigned their respect
ive positions, to take effect on the first
day of next month. In their retirement
these gentlemen take with them the
hearty good will and best wishes of the
people along the line of the road.
Montgomery especially mourns their
retirement, but it heartily welcomes the
new general manager of the line, Gen.
E. P. Alexander, who is well known in
Alabama as the father, as it were, of
the Memphis and Savannah Railroad.
His headquarters will be in Montgom
ery, which fact probably helps the
people of that city to gracefully accom
modate themselves to the change. They
welcome the coming, and speed the
parting officials.
Poor Smithers ! —“ I say, Mr. Smith
ers,” said Mrs. Smithers to her hus
band, “didn’t I hear you down in the
kitchen kissing the cook?” My dear,
replied Smithers blandly, “permit me
to insist upon my right to be reasona
bly ignorant. 1 really can not say
what you may have heard.” “ But
wasn’t you down there kissing the
cook ?” “My dear, I really can not re
collect. I only remember going into the
kitchen and coming out again. I may
have been there, and from what you
say I infer I was. But I can not recol
lect just what occurred.” “But,” per
sisted the ruthless cross-examiner
“what did Jane mean when she said,
‘Oh ! Smithers, don’t kiss so loud, or
the old she dragon up stairs will hear
us?” ( “Well,” said Smithers, in his
blandest tones, “I can not remember
what interpretation I did put on the
words at the time. They are not my
words, you must remember.”—Ex

Hammond, the Pacific coast revival
ist, having boasted that he had con
verted over a dozen Jews to Christian
ity, the San Francisco Hebrew Observer
offers him SI,OOO if he will produce one
acknowledged Israelite that has been
converted.
It is said that all great humorists are
sober and sedate, with a melancholy
cast of countenance. It is rather seri
ous business to be funny.
Caution not Necessary. —Although
it requires but two teaspoonfuls of Dr.
Price’s Cream Baking Powder to pro
duce better bread, biscuits, cakes, &c.,
than three teaspoonfuls of any other,
it is not necessary to caution the public,
as do makers of the rank, common
kinds, to use no more for fear of ex
posure and injury. The purity of Dr.
Price’s powder admits of twice the
quantity or more being used with per
fect safety, and without detriment to
the articles prepared. Households
where true economy is studied will use
Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder and
also his True Extracts, Lemon, Yanilla,
&c., for they are truly excellent, pure,
and unadulterated. Baking Powder sold
in bulk for Dr. Price’s is an imposition,
as Dr. Price’s is only sold in cans.

GEORGIA CROP NEWS.
Dr. S. P. Smith has on his place, near
Sandersville, a cow that makes a splen
did allowing. The cow was twenty years
old this Spring and has a calf three
days old yesterday. She has been giv
ing milk seventeen years, and,has av
eraged two gallons a day for two hun
dred days during the seventeen years,
yielding 6,800 gallons of milk, which,
at 40 cents a gallon, realizes the snug
little sum of $2,740.
Gainesville Eagle: Rev. John R. Park
er, P. E., returned to the city this week
from a trip through the counties of
Gwinnett, Forsyth, Milton, Cherokee
and Bartow. He says the wheat is fine,
cotton up well and worked out; corn
looks well, but oats are late and back
ward, The general farm outlook is en
couraging in all these counties.
Columbus Enquirer: It is generally
agreed that crops of cotton and corn
look better than during any season
since the war. Universally, good stands
are reported and the lauds are very
clean. Similar reports come from every
section in the South. Nothiug cau be
relied on with certainty, regarding cot
ton, until September. One thing is cer
tain, the promise now is of a very
abundant crop and low prices next sea
son. The planters who have not planted
sufficient corn, and yet fail to do so,
will find themselves irretrievably ruined
next Fall, Winter and Spring; The in
dications are that grain will rule high
and cotton low. He is a very unwise
man who neglects his own interest
when the truth stares him plainly in
the face.
The Montgomery Advertiser gives an
account of the drowning, on Monday,
of a son of ex-Gov. Watts. Young
Watts, a boy of about 14, was bathing
in the Alabama river, with other boys,
and got beyond his death. He could
not swim, and the other boys could not
save him. This is no doubt a sad blow
to Gov. Watts, already deeply afflicted
by the recent depth of his wife. He is
one of the noblest men in the South,
and all who know him will sympathize
in his grief.
Gen. Roger A. Pryor.—A Brooklyn
paper announces that Gen. Roger A.
Pryor will appear no more in the
Beecher case. His health is far from
good, the bad air of the court room
having produced serious effects on his
constitution. Gen. Pryor’s physicians
recommend a sea voyage, and he will
soon go to Virginia via the Atlantic.
The Supervisors of Santa Clara coun
ty, Cal., voted themselves more money
than the tax-payers thought was right,
and the matter was left to the District
Judge for decision. The award is that
supervisors shall return two thousand
dollars to the public treasury.
The days are at hand when prudish
clergymen will swelter through two ser
mons a Sabbath in a dress coat for fear
of offending somebody by wearing a
comfortable duster.
“The revisers of the Bible have
reached Isaiah in twenty-eight ses
sions.” This is very slow work. Old
Whaxem, schoolmaster, reached Isaiah
in one session. Isaiah was in the act of
placing a crooked pin on the master’s
seat at the time.
The latest agony in the spelling cru
sade is for a dozen or more dry indi
viduals to range themselves in a line
in a saloon and spell for drinks.
A contemporary asks: “Is mumps
singular or are they plural?” Both.
When you get mumps on both sides of
your face at once, they are plural, but
they make a person look singular.—

A medium woman now says that
Charley Ross is in heaven. This ac
counts for the non-success of the de-
I tectives, who know nothing of such a
bourne country.
The only way a policeman who has
been chased by a burglar can redeem
his reputation is to shoot a playful
canine pet while its master’s back is
turned, and be gazetted in the news

At the Cotton Exchange the volume of
business was fair considering the in
fluences. Prices on spot cotton were %c.
lower early in the week, and have not since
recovered. Liverpool has not been in a
position to induce shippers hdbe to operate,
besides a sharp advance in rates of freight
put up figures to such a range as to exceed
their limits. For future delivery there has
been the usual daily fluctuations in prices,
with a fair amount of trading, chiefly in
the early months.

the necessity fob a cyclopaedia :
Every one that reads, every one that min
gles in society, is constantly meeting with
allusions to subjects on which he ne ds
and desires fart her information. In conver
sation, in trade, in professional life, on the
farm, in the family, questions are contin
ually arising, which no man, well-read or
not, can always satisfactorily answer. If
the facilities for reference are at hand,l hey
are consulted, and not only is the curiosity
gratified and the stock of knowledge in
creased, but perhaps information is gained
and ideas are suggested that wiU directly
contribute to the business success of the
party concerned.
But how are these facilities foi reference
to be had ? How are the million to pro
cure a Library ‘ How are they to obtain
the means of informing themselves on
every point in which they may be interest
ed; of satisfying themselves with respect
to persons aiid places, questions of art and
science, religion and politics, literature and
philosophy, agriculture, commerce, end
manufactures ? How can the working
man hope to bring within nis reach the
whole circle of sciences, and every point of
human knowledge as developed up to tho
present moment ! 1 We answer, bv sub
scribing to the AMERICAN CYCLOPEDIA
A Cyclopaedia is pre-eminently tee work
for our country aud generation. No one
has time to grope among a hundred differ
ent works for every fact required, without
the certainty of finding it at last. When a
Cycloptedia, embracing every important
subject, and having its topics alphabetical
ly arranged, not a moment is lost. The
matter in question is found at once, di
gested, condensed, stripped of all that is
irrelevant and unnecessary, and verified
by a comparison of the best authorities.
Moreover, while only men of fortune can
collect a library complete iuall the depart
ments of knowledge, a Cyclopaeeia, worth,
lnjitseif, for purposes of reference, at least,
a thousand volumes, is within the reach of
aU—the clerk, the merchant, the profes
sional man, the farmer, the mechanic. In
a country like curs, where the humblest
may be called to responsible positions re
quiring intelligence and general informa
tion, the value of such a work cannot be
over-estimated.
HOW TO GET A LIB BABY.
The “American Cycloptedia” is in fact a
library in itself. It is a knowledge of the
centuries boiled down; the essence of all
books crystaiiztd. It stands on the shelves
ready to answer briefly every’ conceivable
question in phy sics, history, politics, art,
philosophy, and what not; to furnish pre
cisely the inf orroa-.ion wanted on almost
every possible subject; to turn your child
ren’s wide-eyed wondering into the boat of
schoolmasters; to make of every question
sprung in the rainily ciicle an instructive
lesson; to convert your guesses into posi
tive knowledge; to give you in brief para
graphs the result of other men’s years of
toilsome investigation. It is everything in
little, and no skill is necessary to the find
ing of the particular thing its owner may'

the ablest writers on every subject, printed
from new ty’pe. and illustrated with seve

months, beginning July, 1873, and will be
completed in sixteen volumes -ten volumes
now ready’— which are payable only upon
the delivery- or each voluiue. so that tho

and a storehouse of knowledge, indeed a
Universal Library in itself, secured, with,
