We are permitted to make the fol lowing extract from a private letter Irom Mr. J. M. Parker to a friend in Thomasville, which will settle the question os to his vote for senator: “If elected to the legislature, and have an opportunity of doing so, l shall vote for .John B. Gordon for U. S. Senator. J. M. Parker.” Atul in doing so, Mr Parker will voice the sentiments of a large major ity of the voters of Thomas county. As Mr. Ivey is pledged to vote for Gordon, he is sure of three votes from Thomas. It is superfluous to ndd that Bob Mitchall is for Gordon. It’s a Whopper. Mr. J. T.

Tho mnterial for the erection of Dr. John Coyle’s new home near Col. Mc Lendon’s, is being placed on the site. The Doctor is enthusiastic about his fhturo suburban home. May he, and his, pass many hnppy hours there. Miss Detm Mitchell, has been elect ed one of the Maids of Honor of the Hussars. Miss Dena is popular with the military—as she is with every body else. Both, tho Hussars and the young lady, are to be congratu lated A midnight thief tried to brenk in to the sleeping apartments of one of the Times-Enteiu'risk force, on Tuesday night He would hardly have taken the risk had lie known ho was limiting for plunder iu a printer’s room. Printers and newspaper peo ple being rich, keep their wealth in hank vaults. The Americus Recorder has this to say tibout a young man who was for merly employed in this office. “Mr. George Sheridan, of New York, came to Americus some time ago, and was employed in the Recor der composing rooms. He is a son of General Sheridan, and a most excellent, quiet young ntnu. For one of his years, his skill as a pressman can scarcely be equal ed; and besides being a good printer, he is a general favorite with all iu the office.” We arc pleased to learn that George Sheridan is winning his way. He a manly young fellow. The Cyclone Coming. Not only in Kentucky and Ala bama, but throughout the Union do we fine the democracy in a state of confident exhilaration. Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota are expected to astonish the country by joining Ohio and Iowa in tho demo cratic column. Look out for a polit ical cyclone next November.—Louis ville Times. Speak Kindly to All. This sandy spot reminds me of a fellow’s farm that I saw once down in Kentucky. It was terribly sandy and so poor that you couldn’t raise a disturbance on the place. 1 stopped there one day and wanted to saysom;- thing complimentary about the place, so I said to him, “Colonel, I declare you have got the finest place l ever saw to scour knives.’”—New York Mercury. This reminds the News and Adver tiser of the man who was never known to make an unkind remark about a fellow creature. Being asked hts opinion ol a notoriously bad character who had recently died in the com munity where he lived, and being un able to say anything else good of the fellow, he replied, saying, “Well, he was the best whistler 1 ever knew.” The community, however, which pos sesses a man who cannot be induced to say ill ofhts fellows, has a curiosity rarer than any of Barnum’s collection. —News and Advertiser, Albany. And this reminds us ol the old wo man who, whatever might be the short comings of others, never alluded to them, but on the contrary, always managed to say something in their extenuation. To test this commend able tratt of the good old woman, some one abused the devil round y in her presence. Well there is one thing can be said about him,” said the old woman, “lie always attends to his own business. ’ How sweet that charity which can overlook me foibles of others, and how much belter it is to say pleasant things rather than to be holding up the faults of others to the public gaze. FIRE AND* FLAME. Indiana o.i Fire—A Strange Phe nomenon. A dispatch from Indianapolis, Ind., yesterday says: Ten acres of the farm of Thomas Habon, three miles north of Waldron, have been destroyed for farming pur poses. Great holes have been blown in tho earth. The course of the Flat Rock creek lias been turned upstream. Birds, snakes and rabbits are dead, while fish arc thoroughly cooked in the heated water. All this was caus ed by the upheaval of the waters. No fire wos blazing in the midst of the ten acres when, without warning, the earth belched forth its flame. Great trees were hurled skyward and tho waters ot Flat Rock creek were converted to foam. Natural gas burst forth and the scene was beauti ful. The gas took lire aud blazed fiercely above the trees and continued all yesterday and last night. To day 3,000 spectators visited the phenome non. The fire has been extinguished but gas is still escaping. Some assert that other agencies than gns are the cause of the phenom enon, but the general conviction is that no other agency could have pro duced the effect on the water. One of the marvelous effects on the water is that not a drop of tho Flat Rock flood has gone below the cave since the up heaval. Great caverns have taken the current, and a wild, foaming Ni agara is created. A Cyclone Coming this Way. Havana, Aug. 12.—The observa tory here annouuced that a cyclone, whieh was cast aud northeast of Cuba yesterday, is approaching the United States coast in the direction of Char, lestou.
