TIIE GEORGIA CAPITAL LOCAL NOTES. The possum trade in the city is active, and potatoes are in demand. The Markham House has been carpeted, and ! presents an attractive appearance inside as well as outside. Do you wish dry goods of any quality or de scription? Don’t fail to see John Keely’s mag nificent stock. The reigning sensation is the Catholic Fair. It is still progressing with gratifying success. The attendance nightly is large. Rev. E. W. Warren, D. D., will install Rev. T. E. Skinner as pastor of he First Baptist church of Macon on Sunday next. Rev. W. A. Dodge recently preached a sermon from the text, “lam jealous with Godly jeal ousy,” and defined the duties of husbands and wives. Rev. Isaac G. Mitchell, of this city, preached the introductory sermon at the annual confer ence of the Protestant Methodist church, in Bowdon. Thebe are a host of good men named forjudge of the City Court. Messrs. R. H. Clarke, M. J. Clarke, Samuel B. Spencer and W. T. Newman are among those suggested. The Georgia State Grange had a three days’ harmonious session last week at the Markham House. The Grangers liked Owens’ fare so well, they agreed to meet there next year. Rev. W. M. Cbumley, who has been assigned to the care of Edgewood church, has reached the city with his family. His congregation are highly pleased with the appointment. In passing up Whitehall street, drop in at the old reliable stand of Er Lawshe, one of the clev erest fellows in the world, and see his beautiful store and countless gold and silver attractions. The concrete foundation for the Atlanta Cus tom House has been completed by the contract ors, Messrs. Berry & Wilson. On Saturday they gave a supper at Murphy’s restaurant to their friends. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. G. P. F., Atlanta, says: “E. A. S., of Nashville, Tennessee, wishes to know if there are any pub lic lands in the State. I have four hundred and ninety-five acres I will sell at government prices, READING ROOM AT THE BRITISH MUSEUM. LAST WORDS 0? MEN. R. S. Waters was elected Justice of the Peace on the eleventh, in the 1234th district. The contest was close between his opponents. Mr. Waters received 519 votes, Mr. Johnson 46, Mr. Peterson 53. The morning passenger train on the Georgia Railroad, leaving here at 7 a. m., has been changed to a noon train. It leaves at 12 a. m., and makes close connection at Savannah, to ac commodate Florida travel. What wonderful success has attended the earnest labors of Phillips &■ Crew ! Their store is the most popular place in the city, and their personal popularity is universal among Atlanti- ans, and could not be otherwise. Allen S. Chamberlin, son of E. P. Chamber lin, a young man of fifteen years of age, was bur ied on Saturday last. The sermon was preached by Rev. C. A. Evans. The boys of the High School acted as escorts and pall-bearers. The failure of West, Edwards & Co. has been the theme for “town talk” for several days. Their liabilities are stated to be $318,000, and their assets $271,000. Messrs. West & Briscoe were placed in jail for contempt for failure to turn over their books to the Receiver, M. H. Castleman, appointed by Judge Hopkins. They subsequently delivered up their books and were released. At A. R. Everett’s are to be seen “gems ” of “ purest ray serene. ” There is a cluster of twelve pearls of historic record dating back for two centuries. They were brought from France with the Huguenots. These pearls are set around an amethyst in the center—the antique style of setting. Another unique affair is a collection known as “Bonanza, ” representing subjects from the old masters—certainly the “ latest agony.” The new sensational book, “Woman m Bat tle,” or the experiences of Madame Velasquez as a spy, a soldier, and an officer of the Confeder ate army, is now ready for the press, the plates being all electrotyped. We have been favored with a sight of the very unique table of con tents. The book is written by a distinguished Northern writer, and Mark Twain is reported to have said that it will be the book of the season. One of its most important features is the revela tion it makes of the manner in which the secret service of the Confederacy was carried on. The friends of the projected Atlanta Free Edu cational and Industrial School seem to be thor- | oughly in earnest. Mrs. Westmoreland’s and j Mrs. Gabbett's letters on the subject are full of j feeling and purpose, and we trust that they will | succeed in enthusing others of their sex, and I in securing the sincere co-operation of all benev- j olent and public-spirited citizens. These ladies, however, must be content to begin on a small j scale, as did Mrs. Hodges, who, on a small pri- j vate foundation in New York, built up the flour- | ishing Free Industrial and Domestic Training | School for Girls. * FASHION NOTES. Furs.—In furs this winter, the long, lovely boas are the most fashionable. We saw at Mrs. Lewis Clarke’s, elegant sets of real mink from twenty to thirty-five dollars, and lovely As- trachan sets from eight to fifteen dollars. Ties of twilled silk or crepe de Chine, lace- trimmed, are the most fashionable. Neckties trimmed with lace are more elegant than those all lace, unless the lace is very choice. Real or im itation, antique and point are the kinds most in vogue. The lovely Shetland shawls and scarfs of white fleecy wool are very light and pretty to wear around the neck, and are uniformly becom ing, as is also the cream-tinted lace, imitation point and thread for scarfs. Hats and Bonnets.—Birds of every color still perch upon coquettish little hats of pearl-giay, brown, or cameo-tinted felt, or nestle as natural as life among the clusters of tea-roses and au tumn leaves and trailing sprays of ivy that adorn the “loves of bonnets” displayed in many tempt ing shop windows, and so becomingly worn by our bright-eyed belles. We saw at Mrs, McCor mick’s a perfect Eden of lovely flowers, with rare birds and costly plumes. We were particu larly attracted by a beautiful snowbird, with soft white feathers striped and tipped with brown and black, a lovely brown and a splendid green humming-bird, all among clusters of full-blown scarlet and blush roses and bunches of creamy sofrano buds. At the opening of the season, it was said that only ostrich tips, one, two and three, would adorn the hats and bonnets, combined with the profuse trimmings of brilliant-colored flowers; but we notice in all the most fashionable shops, and worn by the leading “ton,” the long, grace ful, curling ostrich plumes of every delicate shade imaginable, winding half around the crown and drooping down to the shoulders. We saw a “love of a hat” of pearl-gray French felt. trimmed with self-colored velvet and a long, curling plume of the same exquisite shade, fastened with a large pearl arrow. Colors and Trimming.—Elegant as are the del icate wood and neutral tints, the bright, warm cardinal red enters largely into everything; it runs through many of the fashionable plaids, is seen in the ties, and adorns the bonnet, the cor sage, the hair, in flowers of that warm color, and in birds, plumes and wings, brightening up all l the grave tints with a wonderful and becoming /brilliancy. Jesus Christ, the God-man, said: “Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit.” Julius Ctesar said: “Et tu Brute?” Thomas J.

Then I die happy.” Admiral Nelson: “Thank God, I have done my duty.” Galba: “ Strike, if it be for the benefit of the Roman people.” Cromwell: “ My design is to make what haste I can to be gone.” Mahomet: “Oh, Allah ! be it so.” Pope Gregory VII: “I have loved justice and hated iniquity; therefore, I die in exile.” Ignatius Loyola: “Jesus.” Xavier, the first and greatest missionary of Loyola, stretched on the naked beach of Siam, with the cold blasts of winter aggravating his dying pains, at last raising himself upon his crucifix, with a face irradiated as with the beams of eternal glory, exclaimed: “In te Domine Speravi—non confundar in cetamum." Maximilian, Emperor of Mexico: “Lotte!” William, of Orange: “May God pity this poor people.” John Q. Adams: “It is the last of earth.” Thomas Jefferson: “I resign my soul to God, and my daughter to my country.” Elizabeth: “All my possessions for a moment of time.” Anne Boleyn: “It is small, very small ” (clasp ing her neck.) John Adams: “Independence forever.” GeorgeIV: “And is this death?” Edward VI: “Lord, take my spirit.” Mozart: “Let me hear once more those notes, so long my solace and delight.” Walter Scott: “Be good, my dears; nothing can console you, when lying like me on a bed of death, but being good. God bless you all.” Tasso: “Into thy hands, O Lord !” Leigh Hunt: “Deep dream of peace.” Douglas Jerrold: “I am waiting, and am waited for.” Byron: “I must sleep now.” Madame de Stael: “I have loved God, Father and Liberty.” Madame Roland: “Oh Liberty, how many crimes are committed in thy name.” Wieland: “ To sleep—to die !” Edward Irving: “If I die, I die unto the Lord.” Rabelais: “I’m going to leap in the dark- draw the curtain—the force is over.” Mirabeau: “Sprinkle me with perfumes, crown me with flowers, that thus I may enter upon eternal sleep.” Wm. Pitt: “My country! how I leave my country !’’ Castlereagh: “ It is all over. ” Lord Chancellor Thurlow: “I am shot, if I am not dying.” Lord Chesterfield: “Give Dayrolls a chair.” Raleigh: “It matters little how the head lyeth.” Lawrence: “Don’t give up the ship.” Alfeiri: “Clasp my hand, my dear friend; I die.” Franklin: “A dying man can do nothing easy.” Burns: “Don’t let that awkward squad fire over my grave.” Sir Thomas More: “I pray you see me safe up, and for my coming down, let me shift for myself.” Beaumont: “What! is there no bribing death ?” Halleo: “The artery ceases to beat.” A victim of the capitol disaster of Richmond, Virginia, said: “Oh, death ! where is thy sting? Oh, grave ! where is thy victory ?” One of the Scottish kings said: “Lord, I re store Thee the kingdom wherewith Thou didst entrust me. Put me me in possession of that whereof the inhabitants all are kings.” A Mexican soldier, shot as a rebel, said: “O Lord, if I have done well, thou knowast it; if ill, unto thy infinite mercy I commit my soul.” PHEBE. BY MBS. N. OBR. From the hills the streams are welling; red the maple- buds are swelling; Withes of willow, lithe and golden, sway above the grassy ground; In a heavenly baptism falls the cloudlets' pearly chrism On the ilow’rets, while the Phebe birds are singing all around. Darts the sun his fiery lances where the laughing brooklet dances, Flashing back the ozier catkins with a rippling silver sound, Till the sweet Arbutus, creeping from the bed where it lay sleeping, Whispered—“List, oh list, the Phebe birds are singing all around!’’ “Phebe, Phebe, Phebe, Phebe!”—Ah! the coquette, where can she be ? Hiding "neath the browned branches, or the sloping mossy eave. “Phebe, Phebe, Phebe, Phebe,”—thou embodied little Hebe. Trill him back a merry carol, nor thy faithful lover grieve. From her nest, so still and holy, warbles she in soft notes lowly— Tempt me not with song and pleasure to your bright and airy round, For I hear the hopes that wrestle with my fears until they nestle 'Neath my winy, while other Phebe birds are singing all around. Little Things. —Little fortunes bring the most content, and little hopes the least disappoint ment. Little words are the sweetest to hear; little charities fly farthest, and stay longest on the wing; little lakes are the stillest, little hearts the fullest and little farms the best tilled. Lit tle books are the most read, and little songs the most loved. And when nature would make anything especially rare and beautiful, she makes it little — little pearls, little diamonds, little dews. “ Everybody,” says a writer, “ calls that little which they love best on earth. We once heard a good sort of a man speak of his little wife, and we fancied that she must be a perfect little bijou of a wife. We saw her, and she weighed 210 pounds; we were surprised. But then it it was no joke—the man meant it. He could put his wife in his heart and have room for other things besides; and what was she but pre cious, and what was she but little ?” Multum in parvo—much in little—is the great beauty of all that we love best, hope for most, and remember the longest An Arkansas man ate a pint of sawdust a few days ago, on a bet. An intelligent physician, who was called in, told him that he would have pain in his lumber region if he stuck to such board as that. HUMOR. “Thebe, John, that’s twice you’ve come home and forgotten that lard.” “La, mother, it was so greasy that it slipped my mind.” A bolt of lightning struck a tree in front of a Chicago alderman’s house the other night, and in his fright the alderman remarked, “Hold on ! I’ll restore the money.” Some young men in Louisville have formed an “ anti-lift-your-hat-to-a-woman society.” Now let the Louisville young ladies form an “ anti- bo w-to-a-puppy society.” A Covington boy being asked by his teacher the other day what occasioned the saltness of the sea, after reflection, advanced with some confi dence the opinion that it “must be owing to the codfish.” When a Missouri engineer ditched his train, he faintly asked: “Did it kill anyone who part ed his hair in the middle ?” They answered that three such were lying dead. “Then I die hap py !” he sighed, and was soon no more. Teacher—“Who was the first man. Head scholar—“Washington; he was the first in war, first in peace, and first—” Teacher—“No, no, Adam was the first man.” Scholar—“Oh if you are talking of foreigners, I s’pose he was.” A bumpkin once dining with the Governor of Rhode Island,'where part of the entertainment consisted of champagne and preserved limes, was asked by his host at the conclusion how he liked his dinner. “Well, Guvner, your cider is very good, but darn your pickles !” An Englishman was boasting to a Yankee that they had a book in the British Museum which was once owned by Cicero. “Oh, that ain’t nothin’,” retorted the Yankee; “in the museum in Bosting they’ve got the lead-pencil that Noah used to check off the animals that went into the ark. ” Boston Globe: Professor Wise, the aeronaut, believes that the kite principle will be of more value in navigating the air than will balloons. Well, we should judge that going up on the tail of a kite was about as safe as any of the methods heretofore adopted. I like flying well enough. But there ain't eueh a thunderin’ sight O' fun in't when ye come to light. Brown had prepared himself fora home dinner to his liking. He sat down in the dining room at peace with all the world, and said: “Now, Hannah, bring the cold mutton. No hot meat for me this weather.” Hannah hesitated for a moment and then said: “But I done give it away, sah !” “Give it away! Give my dinner away?” “Yes, sir. You said if any tramps called, to give them the cold shoulder.” An old lady living in Ohio lost the companion with whom she had jogged for many years. She neglected to mark the spot of his burial by even a stone. Not long after coming into possession of a small legacy, a sister of the deceased said to her: “I suppose you will now put up stones for Daniel?” Her answer was a settler. “If the Lord wants anything of Daniel at the resurrec tion, I guess He can find him without a guide- board. ” The other day, as a Detroiter was riding on the Pontiac road, he came across an old lady seated in a buggy which had been halted within a few yards of the Grand Railroad track. She seemed to be uneasy about something, and as he drove up she asked: “Say, Mister, hain’t you the engine?” He politely informed her that he was not, indeed, when she pointed to the sign which read, “Look out for the engine,” and added, “I’ve waited more’n two hours for the old engine to go by; but I’ve got tired, and if it don’t come pretty soon, I’ll drive Jright on and go home.” Waste.—Waste at home is responsible for more than one-half of the crimes abroad. Waste is akin to dishonesty. The servant who will throw good food into the slop-pail, will take money if she thinks no one will find her out. It is an old saying that a woman gets rid of more with a spoon than a man can bring in with a shovel, and in this country we have abundantly- proved the truth of it. The waste begins by- leaving butter on the plate, throwing good bread to the dogs, and ends in the reckless waste of manhood, of womanhood, in the miserable waste of life itself. ENIGMAS.

If the parents have good and sufficient reasons for objecting, it is certainly wrong to disregard their wishes. Their judgment in such matters is better than that of the young folks, and daughters should be controlled by them in these matters. A Subscriber, Augusta, asks: “Should a young man, after making a written engagement to call on a young lady on a certain night, send in a card bearing his name after arriving at her house ? Is your temperance column open for discussion to ascertain whether or not a Good Templar’s pledge is binding for his natural life ?” . . . There is no necessity for a card. The simple announcement of your name at the door is suffi cient. To your second question we answer, Yes. ’ Aleck, Charleston, asks: “What is the origin of the phrase, ‘ Mind your P’s and Q’s ?’” . . . It has various suppositious origins, but to our mind it was due to the caution necessarily given to printer apprentices to be cautious in distribu ting “pi,” that they did not mistake a p for a q or a q for a p. Doubtless, the phrase at first was, and should be now, “Mind your p’s and q’s,” and its wider application is, Be cautious and ob servant; don’t be deceived by resemblances; discriminate between things alike yet different. John Roe, Newnan, asks: “What shall I do? I have been in love with a young lady nearly three years, and have been partially engaged for two years, but have not been in any hurry to marry, for reasons best known to myself. She is to marry in a short time. Is it best to chal lenge him, or use more moderate means to break it off'?” ... Be right quiet, and let her marry. You have no rights in the premises. If she waited on you three years, she waited just two and a half fbo long. You have slept over your opportunities. SIewton, of Covington, says: “What has ba- come of Anna Maria Barnes, who wrote “ The Spiral Staircase” for your paper ? I fell in love with that story, and would like to know some thing of the author. Is she an old lady or a middle-aged lady, and does she live at the North or South ? Is she a writer of much reputation ? Please answer through your‘Answers to Corres pondents,’and oblige.” . . . A nice little story will be found from her in this issue. She is a sweet young lady—quite young to write so well, and is a native Georgian. Dan Green, Louisville, Ky., says: “Please give your opinion of Dean Swift.” . . . Your name suits you; and surely you take us to be green too, if you think we can give a correct opinion of Jonathan Swift in a brief paragraph. We are soon to have a new life of him by a prom inent publishing house, and when we read it, we may tell you what we think of him. We know that much reproach and scandal has been heaped on Swift, in opposition to which we refer you to the following in the handwriting of Addison, on the fly-leaf of one of his own works, which he sent to Swift: “To Dr. Jonathan Swift, the most agreeable companion, the truest friend, and the greatest genius of his age, this Book is presented by his most Humble Servant, the Authour.” Sigma, Savannah, says: “I’ve heard that the two lines in Sir Walter Scott’s well-known apos trophe to woman, “ When pain and anguish wring the brow, A ministering angel thou,” are borrowed. Can you give me any informa tion on the point ?” . . . After Scott wrote his “Marmion,” Henry I. T. Drury, a student of King’s College, Cambridge, over the signature of “ Detector,” wrote to Scott, accusing him of plagiarizing from Vida’s Latin poems, quoting: “ Cum dolor at que supercilio gravis imminet angor, Fungeris angelico sola minis terio.” And the reference is: Vida, ad Eranen, El. IIV. 21. It was a clever hoax, and deceived Scott himself, for there are no such lines nor piece in Vida’s works. T. H. S., Augusta, Ga., writes: “Not long since, riding on the cars, I witnessed a humor ous scene that followed quickly upon one of a more serious nature, and I was struck with the apparent ease with which the company glided from a state of feeling bordering on the sublime to that of mirth or buffoonery. An intelligent companion remarked: ‘How true is the saying of Napoleon: “Du sublime au ridicule il n’y a qu’um pas.”’ Will you please tell me if this common phrase originated with the great Napo leon ?” . . . The first Napoleon has received much credit for this famous phrase, “From the sublime to the ridiculous there is but one step;” but, no doubt, he borrowed it from Tom Paine’s writings, which were translated into French in 1791, and in which this sentence occurs. The sublime and the ridiculous are often so near re lated that it is difficult to class them separately; one step above the sublime makes the ridiculous, and one step above the ridiculous makes the sublime. But it is very likely that Paine obtain ed his notion from our old college friend, Hugh Blair, who in a certain place remarks: “It fre quently happens that where the second line is sublime, the third, in which he meant to rise still higher, is perfect bombast.” And Blair even borrowed that from the treatise of the an cient rhetorician, Longinus, on the “Sublime.” N., New Orleans, says: “During a trip to con tinental Europe about twenty-five years ago, I was once, while in France, mistaken for an En glishman, and was addressed by an inn-keeper in Amiens as ‘Monsieur G—d d—n.’ It was | pronounced Godon. nation of the epithet, which, at the time, shocked The phrase was a nickname that has strated: in which P is the principal, n the num ber of years, and r the rate.

Special to Atlvertisers.—We have uniformly de clined to insert advertisements in this paper at any price, but the pressure to secure even a small space in it has been very great, and we have reluctantly consented to open two columns to a few first-class advertisers. None others need apply. Fifty cents per line will be charged for each and every insertion. There will be no variation from these rates. The matter will be set and measured in solid nonpareil, with an average of from nine to ten words to the line. A few responsible, first-class houses can se cure a little space at these rates.—[Pb op.

For many centuries, and especially in the fourteenth and fifteenth, the English peo ple were remarkable for the revolting and impious habit of profane swearing in conversation—now happily less frequent; and the nickname Godon (G—d d—n) was applied to them.
