Ben Butler says he will be a can didate for Governor of Massachu setts again this fall and will give the saintly republican party of that witch burning commonwealth all it can do to keep up its fences. Macon scores one over Atlanta, and the Constitution must take a back seat, for a time. The bank thieves gave the Gate City the go by to call on Macon first. Another victory for the Telegraph & Mes senger! The Southern negroes never fail to send up a solid delegation in favor of the man in power. Their vote has twice defeated Blaine in the convention. They are now rallying around Arthur and will most likely force his nomination. Augustus Schell, the great New York politician, is dead. Three men were drowned by a capsizing boat in Pennsylvania. The Tuesday’s cyclone left only two houses standing at Scipio, Ina. To date S02 maimed soldiers have drawn about $60,000 from Georgia. Hume Bros. & Co., of Port Royal, S. C., lost $100,000 by fire WedneS' day night. The bricklayers of Augusta are on a strike for an advance of 25 cents per day. 1 An attempt was made to take Berner from the Cincinnati jail, and a riot was the result The most hopeful sign we see for the success of democracy, is that the party is not so jubilant as here tofore. Over confidence has done a great deal to insure our defeat. Gen erally, when a man becomes dis heartened the tide turns. The Texas Baptists have filed the charter for their grand State Uni versity, to be located at George town, where is now the Southwes tern University of the Southern Methodist church. The capital stock is $300,000. Some of the newspapers are try ing their hardest to get up political excitement, bvt have not met with apy success thus tar. It is predict ed that the campaign for state offi cers this year will be one of the quietest known in Georgia since the war, and it is best if it can be so. The negroes of Sandersvillc held an indignation meeting on Saturday and denounced the negro Clark, the incendiary who is creating a rum pus in some of the counties of Mid dle Georgia. It is not improbable that Clark will pay Athens a visit, in which event there is but one course for the authorities to pursue. At the last republican caucus in Washington a move was made, and came near being carried, to prevent the Southern negroes from having any voice in nominating a candidate for President. The new color line departure by Longstrcet and Nor- cross j.'-t-ips has some connection with that resolution. Since the adoption of the stock law in Anderson county, S. C., the fields and woods are becoming green with a voluntary stand ot blue grass, that grows luxuriantly. An derson is giving special attention to stock raising, and has her fine Jer seys and Ayrshires and her noble Pcrcherons and Normans. The Macon Telegraph is an able paper, and it would have more in fluence if Mr. Hanson, the propri etor, did not show so plainly that it is run exclusively for his personal benefit Because Gov. McDaniel did not appoint the owner of that journal one of the Capitol Commis sioners, he was at once assailed through-its columns. Again, Mr. Hanson owns a little cotton factory at Macon, and as a consequence we sec the Telegraph comes out strong protective tariff organ. A public journal, to insure respect and influence, must lay-rasHe all person al considerations and animosities and be published solely in the in terest of the gicat people.

The campaign in Soudan is about wound up and the troops are recall ed. The British have scored anoth er decisive victory over the rebels, that are in full retreat. Amf.uicus,Ga., March 28.—The Barlow House and eight stores were burned last night, causing a loss of about $So,ooo.

Tell them I am still m Africa, where there are some of the largest great fat women of the black nation I have ever seen, and they wear but few clothes. The brown women wear a piece of cloth around their hips in the shape of a shawl,butthe other parts of tneir bodies are naked. They don’t wear loose sacks, and do more work than men do, except when the men are employed by the Liberians, and then they have to work. And they all go bare-footed all the time. And the men go as naked as the women. When the women are fine dressed they wear jewelry round their legs and hands, and comb their hair in ridges. These women do not wear as many clothes in two years as one of your young women wear at one dressing.

After a patient has been dosed with corrosive sublimate until his teeth are loose, his mouth sore, his hair all gone, his limbs all drawn with rheumatism,he is put oon Iodide of I’otash, onesf the strongest mineral preparations in the whole list. This soon takes away the little appetite left him by the mercury— disorders his stomach,causes pain inthc bowels, nausea, dries up the gastric jui oes, and food is rejected, wastes him away to a skeleton, and he is soon a sub ject for the undertaker.

Alter din ner Mr. W. strolled down to the Clinard House, when the proprietor reminded him that dinner was ready. “Haven’t I eaten?” he asked. “No,” replied Capt.

Perhaps this is the negro's reason for having such an aversion to shade. We know a gentleman down in Oglethorpe who settled a colony of his hands in one of the finest oak groves we ever saw; but upon a return to his farm a few days later found, to his indignation, every tree or bush that could fur nish shade,felled to the ground. Up on demanding a reason for what he termed this desecration, an old dar key explained, “Fo de Lawd, Moss John, do you want to kill ebery nan’ on de place?
