TIIE GEORGIA CAPITAL. LOCAL NOTES. Babbeb shops are on the increase in Atlanta. Bishop J. C. Keener preached three sermons in Atlanta on the 28th. The Air-Line passenger train ran a deer for three miles and killed it. Senate No. 1 of the Order of United Reform ers has been organized here. There is some talk of Atlanta employing fe male drnmmers altogether next year. The Centennial Tea-Party of the Young Men’s Library Association will net over $2,500. The Constitution sold over eight hundred cop ies of their Sunday issue of the 28th at their counter. Fifty-six weddings are on the tapis, to come off in Atlanta between the 10th instant and New Year’s day. Thebe are seventeen applications for admis sion into the Methodist ministry in the North Georgia Conference. Bishop Beckwith preached a fine discourse on the “ Value of the Soul,” to a large congregation at St. Philip’s last Sunday. The State Grange of Patrons of Husbandry meet at the Markham House on the 8th. The floors will be sprinkled with hay-seed. As we close this column (Tuesday night), we hear the strains of cotillion music and the voice of the caller from the hall of the Hook and Lad der company, near by, and all is merriment. The new Methodist Church on Merritt’s ave nue was dedicated on the 28th, Bishop Keener preaching the dedicatory sermon. The sum of $305 was raised towards paying off the indebt edness of the church. The members of the Immaculate Conception Church,, of this city, purpose holding a fair at Lochrane’s Hall, opposite the Kimball House, next month. The fair will open on December the 9th at 8 p. m., and will be continued for sev eral days. The occasion promises to be a most pleasant one, for the ladies are determined that the fair shall be the best of the season. A num ber of rare and beautiful articles have been con tributed, and when the hall shall have been fitted up, it will be found to surpass our most exaggerated views of Eastern magnificence and oriental splendor. Virginia, the dear and grand old mother of States, was ably represented at the Centennial Tea-Party by her native and loving daughters. Always ready to sympathise with friends of sci ence and literature, they have requested the wri- ter of this to return their sincere thanks to her sons and many generous friends for the sub stantial aid afforded them, and feel deeply grat- A NS AVERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

The city of Austin, Texas, is happy over the result of the Fair held at that place, beginning on the 9th. Being the first, it was quite a suc cess. Miss Maggie Davis, daughter of Mr. Jefferson Davis, is announced to be married in Memphis in a few days. Mr. Hayes is the man to be made happy. Rev. Thos. F. Pierce, of Union Point, Ga.. has recently had a fine run in matrimonial match making. He returned to his home, it is said, loaded with cakes, gold and greenbacks. The Cedartown (Ga.)

We were pleased to see such a house, as the per formance was such that the most hypercritical could only award it the highest encomiums. We can pronounce the company, after witnessing the representation of the ‘Two Orphans,’ ae par is nothing like it, and the test will show it. A masquerade ball is soon to be given in Mem phis, and others will follow about the hollidays, for the purpose of raising funds to pravide for a creditable display on the part of Tennessee. Andrew Johnson, only son of the late ex-Pres- ident Andrew Johnson, was married on Thurs day, the 25th inst., at Warm Springs, N. C., to Miss Bessie Rumbough, daughter of James Rum- — There was a double wedding, Miss Bonnie Rumbough being wedded to Mr. Beverly W. Hill, of Baltimore, in the same hour. Mr. Johnson and bride are now on a bridal tour via Memphis, New Orleans, Pensacola and Atlanta, from which we hope they' may return in safety and augmented happiness. Runaway Match.—The Danville, (Ya.) Hews, furnishes the following particulars of a genuine sensational runaway match : “Mr. Wm. T.

St. Paul’s Sunday School celebrated their Fifth Anniversary on the 29th ultimo. Speeches were made by Rev. J. H. Harris, Rev. W. A. j Dodge and Major Campbell Wallace. The j school shows a net increase of sixty-six scholars, j and is out of debt, with a handsome surplus in { the treasury. Major Campbell Wallace said: j “My Christian friends, it will certainly not be j expected of me to make much of a speech, al- j though I am willing to work for my Master upon all occasions when I think I can do some good, j I have been here often before, but have never j met such an audience as is here to-night.

The gentle man must have his bump of philoprogenitiveness largely developed.” The Louisville, (Ky.) Democrat says: A case of true-love and solid adoration was noticed in a newly married couple who passed through the city recently. The happy pair had just eloped a few days since, and had become man and wife at Chattanooga, Tenn. The bridegroom was a man of respectable appearance, and about twenty- eight years of age, while the bride was a girl of nineteen, entirely paralyzed from her hips down and otherwise infirm. She had to be carried from place to place by her newly made and de I look at this audience, I feel that I cannot do i voted husband. They were on their way to an the occasion justice. Therefore, I shall do no more than utter a few words in the hope that among these may be some truth which may lodge in some heart, and not only benefit the Sunday school cause, but put a star in the crown of some faithful teacher.

As a landlord and a caterer to the inner man Billy can’t be surpassed. The crowd was gay, happy, and the hours floated away as un knowingly as the falling of autumn leaves. The Kingston (S. C.) Star says: On Monday afternoon, to the history of our town, was added another event long to be remembered by all those who witnessed it. The members of the Masonic fraterney, at 4 o’clock, solemnly laid the corner stone of the monument to the Confederate dead on the site of the old Baptist church. The serv ices were serious and impressive and brought fresh to the minds of many present the impor tant incidents of our late struggle for independ ence. There are sixteen graves appropriately arranged, in the centre of which stands the sim- making their way than their brothers. Here, we know, as a rule, the parents improvidently live up to their income, bring up their children in luxurious habits, and thus unfit them for that life of trial for which they are destined. They are, in a word, softened instead of hardened. A common reply of the head of the family to the suggestion that the future of the children should be looked after, is that they will begin life under the same circumstances as he did—that is, with nothing—forgetting that the conditions of life are changed, and that it is now impossible for them to live as he once did. If a helping hand is given, singular to say, it is oftener to the man than the woman, either in being admitted to the business of the father or in being started on his own account. The sister i pie shaft, which is to witness through coming must look out for herself. If she be handsome and attractive she may find a husband. If she be plain the chances are that she will remain a spinster. Now. it is the experience of the new as well as the old world, that a marriage settle ment does facilitate the marriage of such an one. The plums of beauty are only for the favored men; in other words, all men cannot marry pretty women. Nor can all girls marry an An- tinous. Few, probably, marry their beau ideal in eithersex. Many longing women wait in vain for Almaviva with his guitar and his moon song; many bachelors make bootless search for her “ who was created for them.” Hence the need of philosophy. The man must make his nest with what he has in hand. The age is unpoetic and unheroic: he mustcountthe cost of the mat rimonial venture if he be an honest, orderly man, desiring to pay his way, and if he cannot get the ideal Juliet, he must content himself with the more prosaic Mary.—Albert Rhodes in the Galaxy for December. Me. Bebgh a Trump.—It will not do to ridi cule Mr. Bergh any longer; indeed it is not the fashion now, as it was ten years ago. among thoughtless people. He is a philanthropist, and gave another instance last week of his noble na ture. He arrested a kindling wood pedler who was driving a wretched, broken down old horse. The animal being of no special service to any body, was condemned, and the poor tradesman was presented with another horse by Mr. Bergh. generations that that spot is made sacred by the ashes of faitful soldiers. The committee design to place an iron railing around the graves and are now raising funds for that purpose. Miss Gertrude Tackett, one of the loveliest young ladies of Cuthbert, Ga., was married in the Methodist church of that little city on the 25th. The happy groom was Mr. S. E. Freeman, of Fort Gaines. Beautiful wreaths of ever greens and flowers were entwined around arches overreaching the aisles near the altar, suspend ing from which were the initial letters of the happy bride and groom. At the hour designated the happy party arrived, when the attendants took their positions in the following order: W. Flewellen with Miss Cobbie Hood, AY. Worrell with Miss Charlotte Gamble, Carlton Smith with Miss Mattie Flewellen, A. Farmer with Miss Willie Ward, E. A. Kees with Miss Janie "Ward, ; E. McDonald, Jr., with Miss Mamie McAfee, W ; Russell with Miss Eugenia Gunn, C. Toombs ; with Miss Georgia Tackett Then entered the ; beautiful bride and groom. I A Wedding Postponed.—A Washington letter to the Baltimore Sun has the following: Very much interest has been excited here by the star tling revelation concerning a young real estate \ operator, connected with one of the most re spectable and opulent families in this city. The [ young gentleman, who, it was thought, had been remarkably successful in business, and was re puted to be amassing a large fortune, was en- The only funny thing about this society is its | gaged to be married to the daughter of one of the richest gentlemen of Loudoun county, Ya., and the wedding-day was fixed for yesterday. It is stated also there were six hundred invitations issued, and a special train of palace cars was en gaged for the guests from this city. A few days since, however, it was discovered that the con stant display and the lavish expenditures for which the young man had become noted were based upon money obtained by the forgery of the name of his expected father-in-law. The amounts obtained are variously estimated at from $6,000 to $30,000. The marriage has been an nounced as “off.” The father of the young man has made conveyances of real estate to se cure the payment of the forged paper, and no criminal prosecution will grow out of the trans action. On the 25th ult., at 10 o’clock in the day, Mr. Frank G. Hancock, of Atlanta, was married in LaGrange to Miss Eulalia Ferrell, at the resi dence of Hon. J. H. Fannin, of that place. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. John W. Burke, of Macon. A large crowd was in attend ance. The bride was elegantly dressed in white silk. There was a fine array of wedding pres ents. After the ceremony and the congratula tions, the bride changed her bridal attire for a traveling dress, and was escorted to the depot by a multitude of her friends. The bride’s love liness was only equalled by her popularity. She is one of the most brilliant singers in the State. Mr. Hancock, the fortunate groom, took down from Atlanta, Mr. B. Mallon, the superin- intendent of public schools, Hon. Oscar Thom- asson, of Madison, Mr. Frank Harris, Rev. J. W. Burke, n£.Macon, Miss Hancock and Miss Red ding. The party came to Atlanta on the midday train arriving at 4 o’clock p. m. and repaired to the Kimball House. After tea the newly married couple received a largo number of calls. At half after ten they toook the train for Macon, where they will spend a few days. The residence of Mr. Fannin, LaGrange, where the marriage took place, has one of the finest flower gardens in the State attached to it. Mr. Hancock is one of our most industrious and promising young business men of Atlanta. AVe wish him and his lovely bride all the happiness they deserve. BECENT SOUTHERN MARRIAGES. Judge AVm. M.

Mr. Wm. B. Gaston and Miss Mollie Craven, of Carrollton, Ga. are devoted friends, and, unfortunately for us, have become attached to the same young gentle man. He has never expressed any preference for either, and being at a loss to know which • should relinquish her claims in order to pre- : serve friendship, we come to you for counsel. : Please reply through your columns at an early j day and oblige.” . . . Wait till the gentleman j has expressed in words or manner a preference, I and then it will not be hard to decide which ; should relinquish. Possibly, he may prefer some one else to either of you. A friend from Macon says: “In writing up your correspondence column, you should at | least be correct in things easily susceptible of 1 verification. ‘A looker-on in A'ienna ’ is not cor rect; neither is it from “ The Two Gentlemen of | A'erona. ’ You will find the correct quotation in j act Y. scene I. of ‘Measure for Measure.’ ‘A ! looker-on in Yenice'is the way it is generally; used.” ... If our friend has a volume of Shaks- j peare, we request him to examine it and see if ! he can find the expression “a looker-on in Yen- ice.” In three editions accessible to us, Vienna \ and not Venice is used. “ General use” does not j make an expression correct. Upon investiga- j tion, we find that a correspondent is responsible j for locating it in the wrong play. It is found, i as you say, in “Measure for Measure,” and the I error was not noticed till you called our atten- j tion to it. Lucilb and Claudia, Cuthbert, say: “We are j two school-girls, who are anxious to have your 1 views upon the following questions: What ac- j complishments are most necessary to a young f lady of society ? Is it wrong for school-girls to j correspond with young men ? And is flirting wrong ? By answering these questions, you will have our most grateful thanks.” ... To your first question I answer education, both of the mind and heart; purity of thought, dignity and simplicity in deportment, and a large fund of general information gleaned from good books and papers to enable you to converse with and entertain intelligent people. 2.

Colville,—As I was looking over the columns of The Sunny South, I was ir- resisistibly attracted to a paragraph or advertise ment where two lonely young men wished to correspond with a few young ladies in order to kill time. I am a great friend to orphans and disconsolate ones of our city; therefore, I pro pose to take you in hand. Your “advertise ment” stated that you were either eighteen or twenty-one, as best would please the young lady. I prefer twenty-one; so you had better adapt yourself to circumstances; but if you are under twenty-one, I’ll have to adapt myself to circum- j stances.

No. 6—The difficulty consists in solving the transcendental equation. a—sin.a=2.0944, in which a is the angle be- desired age, but I liked your name the best. I am a resident of this city and presume you are also. You can form no conception of what a lovely tie-back I wear. I am the envy of all the girls and the joy of my mother. But I must give you a minute description of your would-be correspondent. So read carefully, ponder, con sider, etc. I am, to begin with, a brunette, of just five feet in height. My face is oval, and my nose— i how can I do it justice? It is of that beautilul j olassic style “pug,” which, as if cognizant of j the exalted position it holds in this world, stands 1 out in bold relief, and being possessed of a nat- j urally adoring nature, points heavenward. My j sweet little mouth is like a little rosebud, which j opens never to shut. Not that I was born talk- ! ative, but I have cultivated the art of eating to a j certain degree of perfection. AVhen my mouth J opens, it discloses two rows of pearls, literally I teeth, each about the size of a butter-bean. But j my eyes! They rival the midnight. They have j a very sad expression, owing to the lively spirit j that makes me get mad. My hair is black like the raven’s wing, and straight as an arrow. That is enough for my personal appearance; but one thing,—that is, I wear a diamond—all mine, too. Now to yourself, the fair Adonis on whom Na- I ture has lavished her many charms and choicest j blessings, I have formed this opinion of you: i You are medium height, brown eyes, black j curls, bashful in the extreme, like to smoke, to | tie tin cans to the caudal appendages of yellow j canines, much to your and the poor insect’s im- i mediate enjoyment. Also, you are fond of per- i forming on the trapeze, especially the “ giant’s 1 swing.” Do you ever go serenading? But last but not least, I imagine you are a good little boy, j who likes to ride. How long have you resided in Atlanta ? But This, reduced to an algebraic equation, gives <3=2.6052, or a“=149° 16 ', which gives the chord 278.66 feet. M. E. ADVERTISEMENTS.
