ECCENTRICJ AND The Macon Telegraph speaks trnthi | fully and forcibly when it says: ’The Gniteau investigation is now | laboring by numerous witnesses to tablish Guiteau’s eccentricity. Forty people are now ready to swesr that they thought him eccentric, that is to say, peculiar—off his balance or cen tre of gravity; and indeed it won’t do to have many such eccentrics about It shonld be the prayer of all good Christian people that they may be scarce—the fewer the better.

Sir Moses made a like gift to several other charities. Henry Clay, a grandson of the fa mous bearer of that name, went' to Greenland s year or so ago, : with the purpose'ot joining the Howgate ex pedition there. The expedition, like Capt. Howgate, was a failure and Mr. Clay was left to look for the North Pole on his own hook, He did so, traveled a great deal by dog-team and got enough-of it. . He bas just reach ed his home iu Kentucky. The deacons of a Congregational church iu Connecticut recently wrote their pastor a formal letter to the effect that they wanted him to stop using the Revised Version of the New Testament,.and to use the ’Saint James’ version, which they had al ways been accustomed to hear.

Tbe great Keely moter meeting in Philadelphia, the other night, which was intended to bring the elu sive inventor and the delusive inven tion to terms, was attended by less than two dozen persons, and accom plished nothing at all There was even a collection to pay for the hall. Tbe only thing safe to predict ot a Keely motor meeting is ■ that it will give no satisfaction, and call for more money. Tbe directors of the suspended Me chanics’ National Bank, at Newark, N.

Quits it 'discission oc curred which had some fun hi it—at least it was fun to this, reporter, and to same ot the preachers. Tbe report of the vising com. mittee to Wesleyan Female College, was referred without reading to the educational committee; as- also were those of umilar eoaiaiUeoaof Emo ry, LaGrange Female and Dalton Fe male colleges. The report of the - publishing com mittee on the Wesleyan Christian Advocate was read. It stated that the number of Advocates printed No vember 12, was 5,640. Of these,there were 2,404 sent to the North Geor gia Conference, 1,425 to the South Georgia, and 514 to tbe Florida. There are 400 non-paying subscrio bers, and 1,100 to whom it is sent for half price, $1.25: Gross receipts for the year ending Nov. l,for adver tising were $l,752.72;for subscriptions $8,311.94 Of these receipts ten per cent were disbursed to tbe three pat- ronizing conferences, as per contract —four per cent, of which was lor the literary fund. The report was re ferred to the committee on books and periodicals. It was stated that rooms had been provided for tbe meetings of commit tees, in some of the University build ings, and the basement of the Pres byterian church. ' An invitation was read from Prof. Charbonhier,as secretary of the facul ty, inviting the conference to visit the University at any time.

Mrs Lincoln sat propped with pillows on a sofa in the second story in a plainly tarnished room. She cannot move without assistance. Her chief physical ailment is spinal di sease, caused by a severe fall received bile she was iu Europe. She is, in fact, deserted, and next to friendless, with tbe except ion of her son, Robert and bis wife, who visit her at inter vals, two or three’times a week. Her doctor is Dr. Louis H. Sayre, a lead ing physician, who was a schoolmate when both were children in Lexing ton, Ky. Mrs. Lincoln’s income at its outside does not exceed) $4,500 per annum. The treatment which she requires and the cost of living where she can have necessary advantages will exceed her income. She deeply feels the neglect of her once fond friends, and her situation is one certainly demanding sympathy and consideration of tbe people. Her eyes suffused with tears as she re lated instances of her husband’s gen erosity during the war, and that she had remonstrated with him, fearing that he would go out of office in debt. He said : ’Never mind, Mary, I’ll go hack to tbe saw, and with hard work I think I can get together enough to make us comfortable for life.’ ’And be would, too,’ said Mrs. Lincoln, 'Mv husband could not have lived and not worked, and with what he learned when he was President and the prestige his record would have given him, I believe he could have earned many thousand dollars in J ear.’ The condition ot Abraham iincoln’s widow will form a national comparison with the situation ot the loved ones of President Garfield. The exposition reporter was im pressed yesterday with a display, not or’ cotton, or machinery for ita pro duction or manufacture, but an agr.- cnltural show of another class, ana in which every one is certainly interest ed. He raters to seeds—seeds for the farm and garden, the conservatory and window—everything from the Cfireals of ordinary culture to the rar est seed at equally rare prices; wheat av twenty dollars a bushel, potatoes at sixty dollars a bushel, cauliflower seed two dollars an ounce, oioeraria seed at sixty dollars an ounce. Oh, no! we didn’t buy any—we leave that for onr state agricultural com missioner, and will expect to receive some at the expense of the dear pub lic. We must say, however, that these very rare seeds are the excep tions, many old varieties being nearly if not quite as good and si price* to suit the means of everyone. Figs do not grow on thistles, neither good cereals or vegetables from poor seeds. Such being the case we must recog nize as public benefactors all who by selection and breeding develop im proved types of agricultural staples, and in this connection your reporter so far departs from his usual course as to individualize the display which yesterday struck bis fancy as some thing entirely unique at this exposi tion, and expressive of the results of a century’s labor and experience in one direction. David Landretb & Sons are the only seedsmen who have favored our southern exposition with their sup port aud right handsomely have they done it. Considering that ours is en tirely an agricultural coomrannity it seems singular that others in their line should not have recognized the opportunity. Landreth’a exhibit oc cupies the greater pan of the horti cultural building, which was erected especially to accommodate them, and it is without question tbe most com plete and costly exhibit of seeds ever made in this country—a valuable en dorsement of the exposition and rec ognition of our agricultural future. The space occupied is 38 feet by 22 feet 11 inches, and npon this is erect ed the roost artistic and complete set of cases and tables in tbe entire ex position. The back of tho space sups ports a partition or wall in gothic style to which is affixed permanent tables. Ou the tables are a long list of objects too numerous to mention, the most striking being an array ot casts of vegetables done in plaster and colored true to nature—represen tations so accurate m size, form and color, as to deceive even on close in spection those best acquainted with vegetable life. In advance of the tables are three upright cases trian- gular-at each end ot tbe space flank ing an immense centerpiece of rare beautv—octagonal in form,construct- The Russian government, accord ing to the Novoe Vremva, has sanc- tined the formation of the new push- kin Club, which is intended as a medium of intercommunication amtong men of letters in Rua-ia. The club also proposes to assist necessi tous members; to insure the publication of works of merit by young writers and to organize at its own expense excursions to the interior of Russia for the purpose of diScov' ering ahd preserving specimens of tbe ancient popular literature. Tki Mississippi Tragedy. Aberdeen, Miss., Nov. 29.—The three men who were murdered near here last Satuiday night were travel ing from Riisaell county, Ala., to SL Francis county, Ark. Two of them, named Wilburn R Walker, and Alonzo R Walker, are lhe sons of a highly respected citizen, J P Walker. The third bus not yet been identified. When they passed through here Sat urday, four men comprised tbe party; three of them were found in bed with their heads split open with an ax; the fonrlb and a male were misting.

Church Conferesee held In Cslsmbus Columbus Times. From onr venerable and esteemed fellow citizen Mr. Jas. A. Bradford, we learn that we were in error in stat ing that the first conference of the Methodist ohurch held in this city was in 1844. The first-annual con ference held in this city was .in De cember of 1836, -Bishop Andrew, nretidibg. This-was in some respect the most remarkable conference held in the state. It had been a hard year and many of the preachers failed to receive their salaries from their char gee, but Columbus had been blessed with a glorious revival of religion and Dr. Pierce having ascertained what amount it would take to pay them all the balance due, went ont on Broad street and by private subscriptions in one day collected $1,850, which paid them fill np in full. When one of th brothers or one of the poorer mis tions was noticed to be a little seedy, he was forthwith presented with new suit of clothes. When confer ence adjourned every minister had received his entire year’s sa’aiy, the only instance known in tbe bistory of tbe church.

This case is filled with one hundred and sixty eight large glass vases of distinct veg etable seeds, all grown upon the farms of the exhibitors. Over the exhibit are suspended banners bear ing the escutcheons and mottoes of the states of Pennsylvania, New Jer sey, Wisconsin and Virginia in each of which the exhibitors own and cul tivate seed farms. It is impossible to enter here fur ther into details, suffice it to say, this display has cost the exhibitors the sum of five thousand dollars. Found ed in 1784—only two years to run to ran to celebrate a centennial of their establishment, tbe oldest firm in their line in America and the oldest in any business iu Philadelphia—a proud record of square dealing and practi cal business administration. In their exposition circular they publish an extract from a well known Virginia firm, as follows: ’’When we write this note we cannot but think how long business relations have existed between our two houses. Our busi ness was commenced in 1792, and during that entire period onr seed department has been supplied with Landreth’a seeds.’’ No exhibition in the exposition can present a similar statement of two firms in pleasant in tercourse for eighty-nine years. The Messrs. Landreth certainly stand at the head of their business, and deservedly so, for their seeds are all grown from-pedigreo stocks, bred under close observation of the catn ral laws of vegetable physiology, and cultivated under scientific principles as applied to tbe treatment of soils and use of fertilizers. got aome e oukib tome extra .
