CITY TOPICS.
There are 151 students at Mercer
University.
A dose of Mrs. Winslow’s soothing
syrup is recommended for young ladies
afflicted with the tie-back mania.
The firemen are enjoying a long rest
and the insurance companies quite an
immunity from fires.
The Coroner’s business is not very
lucrative just now. Reporters, like
murders, suicides, &c., and we will
assist him any way in our power.
People must eat and people must get
sick —hence grocers and druggists will
thrive though dry goods are at a dis
count.
Augusta received but one bale of
cotton yesterday, and sales of 41 bales
were made, and still we wish for more.
Prince Rivers (col.) rises to explain
and define his position. He says crops
have more interest for him than poli
tics. Sensible view.
“ Have you a letter for my father?”
“ What is his name?” “ Smith.” *‘Oh !
yes, but you will have to consult the
Smith-mail clerk.”
We understand that that the Rich
mond Minstrel Club intend shortly
leaving for a tour on the Port Royal
Railroad. No doubt they will astonish
the natives, as they are practicing
every night.
A cotton weed about four feet high
is flourishing in the gutter of the old
Post Office building, above the second
story.
They want to prohibit smoking on
the street in Atlanta now. It won’t do,
however, for that would amount to
nothing more nor less than the funeral
obsequies of the city.
Mosquitoes are now more persistent
in presenting their bills than the army
of collectors usually goiug the rounds
and are more successful iu enforcing
payment than the latter.
According to the usual estimate the
season will soon be upon us when each
watermelon will contain three chills not
to speak of the accompanying fevers.
South Carolina Parker didn’t come
to Augusta. The weather was proba
bly too w’arm, and then we have a dis
agreeable habit of sending convicts to
the penitentiary from here.
A young negro came near being
drowned yesterday, just across the
river, at the foot of the upper bridge.
He fell in, and got entangled in a wil
low bush, but his unearthly yells
brought one of the noble negro police
to his rescue. It is estimated that he
was scared out of ten years of his
natural growth.
The heavens presented a beautiful
sight yesterday evening at sundown
after the shower of rain that previous
ly fell. Above the eastern horizon the
leaden clouds were tinted by the rays
of the setting sun and surmounted by
a splendidly variegated rainbow, while
in the western sky appeared small
golden clouds which the rapidly dis
appearing monarch of day seemed to
be embracing, as with outstretched
arms he disappeared in resplendent
glory. It was a sight an artist would
delight in.
The funeral of Mrs. B. H. Hill took
place in Atlanta yesterday. The ser
vices were solemn and interesting.
Mrs. Hill was very much esteemed and
beloved by her acquaintances.
The regular Wednesday night prayer
meeting of the congregation of the
First Baptist Church was held at Ma
sonic Hall last night. This congrega
tion holds its regular services in this
hall during the progress of the im
provements now going on at their
church building.
The clock in the composing room of
this office has a label on its face which
enjoins you to “ Wind me up every
Monday morning.” Our smart Aleck—
the devil —has secured a copy right,
and is selling copies of it to parties to
pin on the inside of the lapels cf their
coats. When a chronic talker comes
along, he is shown the notice, and if he
don’t take the hint, it will be because
of his aversion to pointed remarks.
Camp Meeting 1 .
The annual camp meeting of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
which has been in progress since Fri
day last, closed yesterday, having
proved to be the most successful, as
far as we can learn, of late years. Great
interest was manifested in religion by
a large majority of those present.
It is probable that new tents will be
erected during the coming year to ac
commodate the increased number of
families that will attend the meeting
pext year.
THE COURTS.
Higli Old Time, and the Rocorder in a
Quandary.
Asa general thing, the average man
who visits the high and mighty Rc
cordorial Court is actuated by mere cu
riosity ; but such was not the case yes
terday, as nearly every person in at
tendance had fish to fry, and most of
them got well cooked before the inter
view with his honor ended. The dull
ness of thiogs has demoralized the
general habitues of the Court, and they
seemed to run on the schedule
‘‘let us live while we live,” which
is entirely too fast, and a coun
cil of war with the President or
Recorder generally proves the fallacy
of allowing our legs to travel faster
than the body. A female, whom we
will call Smith, had become enraged
against two female chromes, and she
preferred charges of disorderly con
duct. Expectation ran high when the
ease was called. Chief Christian was
in one corner of the room, mounted on
an empty beer keg, as serene as a calm
Summer’s eve, looking like death and
destruction to all evil-doers. A tear
drop traced a ragged line down his offi
cial cheek. He held a bible in one
hand and a copy of charges in the
other, and Mrs. Smith eyed him
with a placid look equal to that of
John Brown when his pet mule took it
into his head to lay him by the road
side. Is Mrs. Smith in court, if so take
the Bible. After giving her testimony
other witnesses were sworn and the
negroes were fined, and in their turn
preferred charges and Mrs. Smith was
fined. About that time Mr. Smith was
waltzed into court for disturbing a
couple of gay lotharios in their homes,
and he was fined. A couple of gents
who had been going the rounds
got into a muss and they were fined,
after which the Recorder proceed
ed to make up a summary of
the morning’s doings, when it was
found that about 8100 was added to
the city treasury. Smith and his wife
locked arms, compared notes, fouud
that neither had the odds, and sallied
forth, it is hoped, a wiser couple. Ex
perience is a dear teacher. They paid
about 822 for their’s, but the Recor
der’s advice would have been cheap for
half that amount.
A couple of other cases were dispos
ed of. A man beat his wife over the
head with the house cat. The funeral
or the cat, and the fun of the striking
affection exhibited for the wife cost
810, after which the Recorder declared
court adjourned.
A Modest Request.
We have heard that the City Council
of Augusta has asked the Georgia Rail
road to open Watkins street. This bit
of street runs through a portion of its
grounds, and will cut off twenty or
thirty feet of its round house and some
old sheds that, by surveyor’s lines, are
located plumply upon it, but little hard
ship will ensue in the former event, none
in the latter. The South Carolina Rail
road owns and has paid for the property
upon which its through depot stands.
So we are informed, but we may be
mistaken, and if we are shall be pleased
to be corrected. The South Caroliua
Railroad has paid heavily and unmurur
ingly for its privileges in Augusta, and
we think the records will show it. If
we are mistaken these will show.
Then, to open Watkins street, begin
at Centre, rush through South Caro
lina’s paid for property, then through
the Georgia Railroad shops, round
house and grounds (the street is the
city’s), and land—as the compass indi
cates. The street is the property of
the city. The Georgia Railroad grounds
are on both sides, and, from what we
have heard, the Georgia Railroad, like
Barkis, is perfectly willing. We would
like to ask fair play in behalf of one of
the oldest, if not the very oldest, rail
roads in the United States —the old
‘•South Carolina Canal and Railroad
Company.”
P. R. Rivers Explains.
Hamburg, S. C. f August 18, 1875.
Mr. Editor: In your issue of to-day,
under caption of “A Negro Conspiracy,”
and your editorial on the subject in
the same paper, you was pleased to
connect my name with the said con
spiracy. I hope you will do me justice
and state my denial in toto, that I
never have accepted an invitation to a
political gathering of any kind from
your State or any other except my
own. While I make my living honest
ly, it takes all my time to give atten
tion to my corn and cotton; that I do
not know Morris nor Harris only from
the asserted communication, which has
never been answered by me, whilst
I did not consider it private, as it was
in print from some public “printer.”
As I regarded the meeting as their
own local and state affairs; therefore,
whatever may happen, I desire to set
myself aright as a man and law-abid
ing citizen; that no encouragement of
violence has ever been advised by me,
and that all people, white or black,
must obey the law of the land.
Yours, very respectfully,
P. R. Rivers.
Richmond Minstrels.
This newly organized minstrel troupe,
formed in this city, complimented the
Constitutionalist last night with a very
flne serenade, which was highly appre
ciated. The troupe will soon start
upon a tour to give entertainments in
minstrelsy.
The leader of the string band is Mr.
Q. Heath. A euriosity in tho shape of
a musical instrument is that used by
Mr. E. L. ltobertson, whicn is only a
common lamp chimney of the Argand
pattern, on the smaller end of which is
a brass cap, with a web-like cover,
which, moved somewhat like tho key of
a bugle and, by a practiced hand, made
tine music.
The troupe consists of twelve mem
bers who are no doubt well trained,
judging from the time they have been
in practice. The two end men are, J.
F. Mitchell, bones, and Henry Lunday,
tambourine. Robert Welsh is stage
manager, and Timothy Shannahan, jig
dancer, with all the other parts tilled
by competent young men.
A Question of Trespass.
[Communicated.)
Mr. Editor : Sometime since I saw
in your paper, the names of some
twelve or fifteen persons signed to a
notice prohibiting persons from tres
passing upon their grounds. Now I
would like to be informed if the notice
refers to the poor class only ?
Poor Man.
answer.
The editor of this paper would sug
gest that when twelve or fifteen men
sign a paper and publish it, they are
the proper parties from whom to seek
information. Men who own land have
the right to make their own regula
tions as to trespass.
Revival.
An interesting revival has been in
progress for two weeks past, and is
now going on at Central (colored)
Baptist Church, upper Walker street.
The meetings have at times been ex
citing and a large number of converts
have joined the church. These will
soon be baptized.
Steamship Montgomery is appointed
to sail from Port Royal on Friday, 20th
inst., at 4 p. m., for New York, direct.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Wash Green Run over by a Locomo
tive.
Yesterday afternoon about dusk, a
negro man named Wash Green, a col
ored flagman employed by the Georgia
Railroad, was run over by a locomotive
and his right leg, just above the ankle,
was mashed into a jelly and will prob
ably have to be amputated.. He had
been attending to some switching, after
which he attempted to get upon the
engine. In doing so his foot slipped
and he fell, with his leg resting on the
rail. He was taken home in a wagon.
At last accounts he was suffering very
much, but the accident will not result
seriously, although, as before stated,
his leg will probably have to be ampu
tated.
The Down-Hill Side. —On the down
hill side of life the constitution is beset
with infirmities for which Hostetter’s
Stomach Bitters is the best of all re
medies. Invigoration is the most re
liable means of resisting disease, and is
particularly necessary at a period of
life when the decay of the physical en
ergies renders the system less able than
formerly to resist its attacks. The
cheering warmth which this prime tonic
stimulant diffuses through the chilled
veins, the unwonted steadiness which
it gives to the tottering limbs of age,
the prompt relief which it affords from
those maladies which are most com
mon in the decline of life, constitute it
an inestimable blessing to the old and
infirm. Among the testimonials to the
excellence of this most salutary medi
cine of which its proprietors are con
stantly in the receipt, many are receiv
ed from persons of advanced age, who
speak with unmeasured praise of its
qualities as au iuvigorant and preven
tive. aulO-wefrsu&c
