The newspaper Borsenhale says the United States consulate will resume furnishing vessels clean bills of health. The cholera commission announces that the cases of cholera developed are of Asiatic type. The report causes con siderable apprehension, and business men wEo had been picking up courage are less hopeful of the future. It is feared that the news will have an unfavorable influence, on the steam ship traffic of Hamburg and strengthen the movement in America to shut out immigrants, and especially Russian Jews, a considerable number of whom have, it is said. been preparing to go to America as third cabin passengers.

SCATTERED SOLplERS. -A SPICY REPLY Ifjlpl? In Behalf of the Rxemptlon of Manu facturers from Specifio Tax. Mb. Editor:—I read the article sign ed “Not a Manufacturer.” It seems that be would silec.ce* those of our citi zens who have expressed their opposi tion to the specific tax act by a rash and splenitive denunciation of their v ews He says in’ substance that if we under stood thelaws of the'State, and the ex perience of other towns in regard to taxing manufacturers, we w ould be less ready to complain. Then in a spirit of arrogance which is entirely inexcusa ble, he denounces all views cn the sub ject contrary to his owBas “idiotic, rat tle-brained, inconsistent, inexcusable, ignorant and rant.” The latter ex pression can pass without comment or criticism so far as I am concerned. I could not if I would, place him in a more unenviable position than he has pltced himself. What are tbe legal features of the situation of which the citia&ns referred to are so ignorant and. of which be would have us understand he is so well informed? We grant that the city was ompeled to raise more money, but why raise it by & specific tax rather than an advalorem tax. Has the legal max imum of advalorem taxation been reached ? He makes no explanations He fails to touch tbe merits of the case at all. We admit that a specific tax should be levied upon any business which is a nuisance or an evil. It should in nearly all cases be levied upon any business or profession which cannot ba reached by an advalorem tax. A physician or a lawyer may have no money in his pro fession which can be -reached by any other means of taxation and yet his in come from it may be worth more than the rentals of many blocks of real es tate. So far as I am informed not a cit izen of Athens in any line of business has asked for any advantages'of.his fel low c'tizens in the matter of taxation. No one would object to a specific tax in such exceptional oases as I have re ferred to. It is the specific tax upon business which can be and is reached by ad valorem taxation to which not only the manufacturers, but the merchants and business man generally complain. Uader it the burdens of taxation are made unequal. Tbe man of large real estate possessions may grow rich from his rents and see his property greatly enhanoed in value by public improve ments erected by a specific tax from which he is exempt. Tbe capitalist may eoll«et his interest, clip his cou pons, and live^in dignified ease and yet he is exempt. One bank may employ a capital of $25,000 and an ither $500,000, and yet both pay tbe same specific tax. One is robbed for the benefit of the other and both for the capitalist and real estate owner. Atlanta has adopted it, says “Not a Manufacturer.” This is a poor excuse, and no argument at all until it is first proven that it is impossible for Atlanta to err. For fear of occupying too much of your space I will say no more at pres ent When I have time I will have something to say in regard to tbe oity offering inducements to capitalists to invest their money in manufacturing by offering them exemption from taxation for a period of time. I will give you tbe experience of other progressive towns in the matter. Yeryltruly yours, G. T. Johnson.

Captain (afterward colonel) William Crawford—the same man who was bar barously tortured to death by the In dians in 1782 near the site of the present vijjage of Upper Sandusky in the state of Ohio—on a certain occasion was marching a company from the frontier of his own state toward the western wilderness. Crawford’s men were principally hunt ers and farmers from what were then the border settlements of Virginia, belonging to that hardy and enterprising class from whose ranks at a later day were furnished those bands of sturdy pioneers whose dauntless deeds hav6 filled with thrilling interest the annals of the “Dark and Bloody Ground.” ' When on the verge of the settlements, in consequence of some accident, Craw ford found himself without adequate means of transportation for his baggage and supplies. At this juncture his eye fell on a wagoner who had stopped to feed and rest his horses in the vicinity of the camp. In such an emergency the captain felt no hesitation in pressing the services of the team and its driver, and lost no time in communicating his intention to the latter. The driver, who was an evident dis believer in the doctrine of “military necessity,” became highly incensed, de claiming eloquently on the inviolability of private property, in relation to which he would probably have concluded by quoting the constitution of the United States—had it been then in existence. But arguments were vain. He was alone in the midst of a military band, ready and abundantly willing to enforce their commander’s orders. The wagoner was a burly, dotlble fisted, square built fellow, whose face bore the marks of many a hard fought battle. In his own locality his name was, fistically speaking, famous. He had on more than one occasion gouged out his eye and bit off his nose—1 don’t mean his own—and was looked upon in consequence with much the same sort of respect which dueling communities, if any snch there be at present, are accus tomed to pay to him who has winged, mnch more to him who lias killed his man. The wagoner at length became quiet, directing a sullen look at the soldiers, as if making an internal comparison be tween his own strength and that of the forces opposed to him. Apparently de riving but little encouragement from the scrutiny, he turned once more to the captain and observed that every man ought to have a fair chance; that the odds against him deprived him of the power of protecting his rights; that he would, however, make a proposition which the captain, in his opinion, was in honor bound to respect. 1 will fight you,” said he, “or any many in your company. If I am whipped 1 will go with you cheerfully; if 1 con quer you shall let me off.” The wagoner proved himself a skillful diplomatist. He either knew Crawford’s character or had read it daring the in terview. The captain was a thorough backwoodsman—stoat, active and chiv alrous—and not undistinguished in the field of pugilistic prowess. A refusal of the challenge might be construed into a lack of personal courage, than which nothing conld more certainly deprive him of the respect and confidence of his men. Besides it is not unlikely that his own disposition and code of ethics may have suggested that there was nothing unreasonable in the wagoner’s claim of “a fair chance.” He at once acceded to the proposition, and both parties began to prepare for the encounter. At this instant a tall yonng man who had recently joined the company and was a stranger to most of them, and who had been leaning carelessly against a tree eying the scene with apparent in difference, stepped forward and drew Crawford aside. “Captain," said he, “you must let me fight that man; he will whip you.” Crawford was unwilling to exhibit the appearance of “backing out,” but the youth contended that to have the captain beaten, which would be the in evitable result of his persistence, would tarnish the honor of the company, and, moreover, expressed the opinion that he was the only man who conld whip the wagoner. The confidence of the youth had something in it calculated to inspire the confidence of others and enabled him to carry his point Crawford having done all that policy required in accept ing the challenge prudently suffered himself to be persuaded by his men to let the stranger take his place. There was a great disparity in the ap pearance of the two men. The wagoner was in the fall vigor of maturity. His herculean frame, hardened by exposure and exercise, to say nothing of his great experience in such contests, seemed to promise every advantage. The form of his antagonist beneath the folds of his hunting shirt appeared slender and loosely put together, as well as lacking in the capaciousness and power of ripened manhood, but when divested of the garment that concealed his propor tions a more perfect specimen of physic- sition and bearing of the young man may have been indicative of a want of that complete educational training so perceptible in his adversary, bnt the flash of his eye denoted genins, and genius, yon know, can do everything—except what is useful. The wagoner speedily assumed the of fensive. aiming a blow which innst have felled an ox. The youth, who never for a moment lost bis’ antagonist’s eye. spraug dexterously aside, and ere the other could recover his guard or regain bis balance, which he had partially tost in missing his aim, with the bonnd of a tiger the yonng soldier threw himself forward, dealing his huge enemy a blow between the eyes, to which was added the momentum of his whole body. Such a sound as is heard when a butcher knocks down a bullock accompanied the blow—and not less prostrate and ap parently lifeless lay the bully. Although the etiquette of “the ring," as then expounded, would have per mitted the victor to follow up his ad-, vantage till his opponent cried “enough,” in cases in which the party had evident ly received enough, but was unable to say so, as in the case of a prisoner “standing mute by the act of God,” it was usual for.the plea to be entered for him. Such was the course pursued in the present instance; but the plea, which the young stranger seemed imperfectly to hear, required to be enforced by the active interference of the bystanders. The condition of tbe vanquished man began to excite the most lively appre hensions. Some insisted that his sknll was broken, for they had heard it.crack, while others took a more hopeful and as the event proved correct view of the symptoms. After a persevering use of the approved remedies, including the dashing of gourdful after gourdful of cold water in his face, the wagoner slowly opened his eyes and begun to rub them. He was soon able to sit np, and in a few minutes more had regained his legs. He had had “a fair chance" and was evidently satisfied. Without a word he proceeded to hitch up his team, after which he turned, to the captain and re ported himself “ready.” The name of the youth was Daniel Morgan, whose subsequent exploits in the American revolution, in which he rose to the rank of brigadier general, have been read by every schoolboy in America. His achievements during the two terms he served in congress are not so widely known.—Exchange. , SICK HL Jisordsred They Act Like Magic on t Regulating the Secretions, a lost Complexion, bringing back the”.

BiU Smith thinks more of fancy fowls than anything beside; While in a garden nicely tilled Jack Perkins takes most pride. And best of neighbors they remained until one luckless day Bill’s coop got shaky and hts kiwis went stalk- - i* ing o’er the way. They wandered round nntU they came to Perkins' garden patch, And here they all resolved to stop and have a jolly scratch. ' When Perkins knew this shameful fact (his feelings yon can guess) He went and told Bill that his fowls had made an awful mess. Well,.Bill thanked Perkin* that he came and talked of it so plain. And said he’d never let his fowls go bothering him again; And Bill meant well, no doubt, but yet I am compelled to say Jack found the poultry in his patch ’most ev ery other day. One noon Bill went as usual to view his feath ered flock And found, with grief, one rooster gone—an eight-pound “Plymouth Rock.” And for that fowl, both .for and near, he searched with anxious care. Then called and asked Jack it he’d seen his rooster anywhere. “What’s that?” said Jack. “Your rooster gone? Your biggest one? That’s queer. Why, ’tain’t so very long ago I saw it over here. I’d help you find it, only, BiU, we’re going to have a treat For dinner, and I told my wife I’d be on to eat. “Say, Bill, you’d better take advice and go and fix your coop— For Just between yourself and me your roost er’s—in the soup.” ___. _j-B.
