One would naturally think that .lay Oould knew nothing of such things, but he is said to have madothe discov ery, on prowling through the Grand opera house, that there wns no green room. A theater, he said, without, a green room, was no the atre. liis son, George Gould, is going to superintend alterations in the Grand orera house, nnd it haa been rumored that lie will be asso ciated with Mr. Abbey in the man agement of the house. Mr. Abbey denies this. I Young Gould is becoming quite u mau about town, and may lie seen at the boxing matches and similar ! places of amusement. His tastes are »o strong in tills direction that lie is under the instruction of a professional pugilist, Hilly Madden Sullivan’s trainer, in the manly art of self-defense. This may not be nlthogethcr a matter of taste, as his father’s misfortunes may have suggested it as a wise precaution. This expert docs dotiblo duty. Be- sides instructing young Gould in his art, he shadows Jay Gould himself, und tlie man wlio would attempt to waylay the railway mag nate would fall into horny hands. This nervousness on the part of Mr. Gould dates from tho time Ma jor Solover avenged himself by picking him up and throwing him , over the railing in front ot n barber shop. He has not recovered from the fright, although lie and Mr. ! Sclover were friends again within I a year. . „ away from the crowd?” . “Well, dat’s de mos’ uselessness qticschin what you cber axed me!

Which idea so tickled the old irfan that he forgot hia homesick ness and went out whistling gaily. The West and South. In an article on the comparative advantages for residence and busi ness In the West nnd South, the Danville Jlei/isler says of the for mer, that “with all tho nttractions which that busy and progressive ucople ami their fertile lands offer 1(7*110 sett er, there are ut tlie same time some drawbacks whicii are be coming more and more felt, from year to ynsr and which after a while may direct the tide of emi gration in part to other favored fields. As to climate, the north west is n most inhospitable land. Emigrants learn as much after they got there. Tlie prairie winds aic terrific and the blizzards are quite past endurance. There is scarcity of pnre water everywhere, and a perpetual presence of chills and fever in summer. Tho tornn- do and drouth arc witnessed and felt there to a degree of peril and privation which is unknown in the middle nnd Atlantic states. Add ed to nil this, the recurring inunda tions from the great rivers, which destroy crops and impoverish tlie people are calamities which deeply discourage and demoralize the in habitants.” Tho conclusion is that “taken nil in ull, the mid dle and southern Atantlic slope is the most attractive counnry under the sun. was the happiest hour of my life, i 9 eor K-V m, do dat I’soseed in Flori At the age of one and Uenty I had . !v’, , Ho was , a thorough-bred and saved up $800.

I pushed open the kitchen door and was in heaven. Tlie tabic was set against the wall, the evening meal ready, prepared by the hand of her who had come to be my helpmate in deed as well as in name, and by the table, with a throbbing expectant look upon her lovely and loving face, stood my wife.

From Ilia Htws nnd Adwrll^r. The early establishment of a cot^ ton seed oil mill In Albany is how assured. By this we do not mean that the matter is any longer un der advisement and mixed with doubt, but that it has been fully decided upon by men who mean business, and lias become a fixed fact. Tho News and Advertiser is au thorized to state that the Albany oil mill company lias Itecn organ ized with s capital stock nf $50,000, and that tlie following olllcera have been elected witli a view of pro ceeding at once to the erection of a mill: G. II. Dudley, president. G. C. Ball, secretary nnd treas urer. J. It. Forrester, superintendent. Mossrs. Dndlcy nnd Ball are con nected with tho mills at Montgom ery aud Kufouia, and their expe- lienees in tlie oil mill business guarantees the success of tlie mill nt Albany. Mr. J. It. Forrester, who has been elected superinten dent of the now mill, is well known throughout southwest Georgia as one of the most correct and ener getic business men of this city, and will bo the right man in tho right place. 1 The mill will be located near the Southwestern railroad depot, on a site purchased from the Ccnlral railroad company, and work will he commenced at nn carl}’ day. Albany is in the very center of tlie grent “cotton belt” of South west Georgia, and, with tho four lines of roads, is naturally the most available point for a cotton seed nil mill in tlie statu.

For three times in suceession the store of Mr. John Wesley Bell, near Treadwell’s mill, In Walton comity, was broken open. Mr. B. did everything in Ids power to catch tho thief, but in vain. On Tuesday night he set his rifle in the store, so that by opening tho tlic..trigger-ffia 8 pjiUsd.... linx- ly in tlie night he heard its report, and proceeding to his store found the door broken open, and the floor bespattered witli blood. Tlie perpetrator was tracked for three- yuarters of a mile, and was discov qred to be a negro man named Code Hughes, who was found to be in a dying condition. It seems that upon opening the door the gun fired with deadly aim, tho ball passing through tlie thief's bladder. He died in a short time, but re fused to tlie lust to tell tlie numc of his accomplice, although lie ad mitted having one. Major Eddington, at Sail.
