Nine ty days tor an adjourned session is a pretty long time, especially when it is remembered that a few years ago iorty days was considered long enough to do ail the work of the assembly. A project is on foot to build a bridge across the St. Lawrence, at Quebec. It will cost some $10,000,- 000. It will be over six miles long, and its height above high water level will be JOS feet. The bridge across the same river at Montreal is some three miles, and is one among the longest in the world. The Augusta Chronicle’s reporter says that the future growth of Atlanta will be seriously inter fered with on account of the own ership of large tracts of land around the city by several colored institu- tings. White people will not buy homes in these localities, and by special legislation the city cannot reap any revenue by taxation from these extensive eyesores. The De Soto hotel, in Savan nah, presents a handsome, and imposing appearance, and when completed will compare very favor ably with the finest hotels in the country.

For several years the Hawkins Zouaves, of the old Ninth New York Volunteers, have received cordial invitations from the Third Georgia regiment to join it in its annual re unions. The two regiments always had a fraternal feeling for each other after their several rather ag gressive meetings during the war. These meetings were unusually frequent, and each regiment, had ample opportunity to observe the grit and courage of the other. They met at Chicainocomin, Antietam, Roanoke island, Camden, and on several other battlefields noted for fierce fighting. At the battle of Antietam the Third Georgia boys held a bridge against the Ninth New V ork, and for two days there was terrible fighting for its possession The 17th of September is an anniver sary that will always be remem bered by those who were present at the battle. As a result, when the anniversary comes around the Georgia men have been invited to come North and then northern men go South. The Third Georgia men are about the only ones who keep up a regi mental association in that state. This year they hold a reunion on July 31st and August 1st at Fort Valley. When their pressing invi tation to the Kawkins Zouaves was received it was determined that a delegation should go down and fra ternize with their old opponents. The delegation started yesterday afternoon on the steamer Nacoo- chee, for Savannah, from which city they will go to Fort Valley. Those who went on the trip were Walter L. Thompson, ex-Judge Langbein, Robert II. Alberts, II. II. Jackson, of Rhode Island, and Jo seph Richards. Mrs.Thompson and Mrs. Langbein accompanied their husbands. Many of the Hawkins Zouaves were at the deck to wish them a pleasant trip and to send words of cordial greeting to the Third Geor gia men. They brought with them a handsome shield fashioned after the Rhode Island coat of arms and composed of immortelles. The ground-work is of white blossoms, and across the shield is a band of gray flowers, on which, in raised blue floral letters are the words: “Hawkins Zouaves to the Third Georgia.” Above the band crimson letters spell “Peace” and “Good will.” The floral tribute will he present ed to the Georgia regiment, and a speech will be made by ex-Judge Langbein at the reunion. A copy of resolutions passed by the Zouaves at a recent meeting will also he presented. The kindly feeling existing be tween the two veteran organiza tions is clearly shown by the cor respondence that was passed be tween. In a letter received from Colonel Claiborne Snead, who com mands the Georgia survivors, re ference is made to the gallant fight ing of the Zouaves on more than one occasion. “In that dread school of battle,” he wrote, “your signal valor won the admiration ol all, and was the topic of much comment. * * * * My comrades went into the fight with every impulse of soul in favor of the cause, and every energy of mind and body was exerted. The contest having finally ended in our defeat, we feel that now, having ac cepted the results of the war, in ut most good faith, our honor is pledged to support the government without mental reservation, and if occasion required we would cheerfully resume our arms in its defense.” General Sonel, who commanded the brigade to which the Third Geor gia was attached and who was also chief of General Longstreet’s staff, wrote a pleasant letter testifying his appreciations of the work of the Zouaves,as well as of the bravery of the Third Georgia men. The delegation sailed away in an ticipation of a pleasant visit to their southern friends, and with the full knowledge of receiving a hearty welcome at the Confederate reunion. A True Tonic.

Rome Tribune, Last night as the switch engine, No. 06, of the East Tennessee was crossing the East Tenneesee bridge from the Decatur junction, a lone footman was suddenly discovered just a few feet ahead. It was twelve o’clock and the engine was running so fast that it was impossible to stop. The engin eer heard a wail and the lone man fell headlong to the ground. The fall was twenty-five feet. When they halted they discover ed two valises laying on the trestle, and climbing down the embank ment on the east Rome side they discovered the man to be dead. The train hands never touched him, but hurried into the depot. The dead man was lying on his face, and his left thigh was broken and appeared to have been driven up into his body. He was a man apparently about fifty years ol age, well dressed, heavy built, and weighed about 100 pounds. The switch engine hands never molested the dead man. His two grips were left on the track. These they brought to the depot. One was a small sole-leather grip. The latter contained several pa pers and a memorandum hook con taining a five and a two dollar hill. There was a receipt for $183 which was written in Spanish. The unknown man is evidently named Adolph Defer, tor he held a receipt from one Jacques Lud- wick for $185. It was dated “Colon, Panama, July 10, 1SS9.” The grip also contained a good sup ply of bacon, sausage, baker’s bread, a lot of clothing, shoes, hair brush, cake of soap and an old navy six shooter. A coroner’s inquest will he held and it may be that lie can he lo cated by telegraphing to Colon, Panania. A DUTY TO YOUllSELF.

Reid, who said that his engagement to a young lady was postponed and he asked those who had received cards to destroy them. This afternoon Mr. Martin Cooley, the young ladies father, pub lishes a card stating that his daugh ter had no knowledge of an engage ment and intimating that the young man’s mind was not as strong as it should he. Reid is a clerk at the Ocean Steamship com pany’s wharf. He was at the time a clerk in the employ of the Savan nah Florida and Western, and he is a brother of the alderman of the same name who has a strong politi cal pull in the east side of town. Mr. Cooley is a well to do contractor and does a great deal of work for the city. He said that young Reid asked him for his daughter’s hand Monday and the next day without getting the consent of either the pa rent or the young lady, bought a handsome diamond ring. Miss Nellie Cooley is a pretty vivacious and accomplished young lady, who has a voice of unusual sweetness, pu rity and brilliancy and which with out special culture is one of the fin est sopranos in the city. She knew young Reid well and received calls from him but her family says, she never looked upon him as a suitor. She was much surprised Monday evening when he asked her to go with him to select a diamond, and she was more surprised next even ing when he called and offered her one. Mr. Cooley states that the young man’s friends have consulted a physician to learn his mental con dition. CA UTION TO MOTHERS.

Brunswick Times. There is a lonely and sequestered spot in the woods around Bruns wick, where no negro man, woman or child will dare he found. In what is generally known as Fulton’s pasture near Dixville and facing the boulevard, is a pond of stagnent water, the surroundings of which are all suggestive of quiet and solitude. The surface of the pond is dotted with small clumps of sand upon which a myrtle bush invariably grows. The pond itself is about 500 yards in circumference with an average depth of one and a half feet. __ It is said that no negro will go near this pond at any hour of the day, and investigation has proven the statement true. Upon question ing one of these prejudiced darkies a Times reporter learned the following cause for shunning it by the colored people. Way hack yonder in the early part of the year 1800, a young ne gro girl was sent by her mother to gather wood in the neighborhood of the pond and she never returned. Search was made for her hut noth ing was found except her wide- brimmed hat which was found floating on the stagnant water. Hie community was aroused and turned out en masse to find the missing child. They failed to find her. One dark night about one year after this strange disappearance, a lone negro fisherman landed at the bluff near where the Boulevard bridge now stands and gathering up his oars oarlocks and the few fish he had been fortunate enough to catch proceeded on his way home. It being considerably near er for him to “cut” through these woods, he did so and had to pass di- lectly by the pond in question. As he picked his way carefully through the underbrush, his keen- sighted eyes peering eagerly through the darkness, a strange sound met his ears. It was the voice ot a child singing some weird and discordant notes of a well known plantation air. The fisher man stopped and listened. It seemed as if the source of the song was drawing nearer. At last al most paralyzed with fear the old negro called out: “Who’s there?” The song suddenly ceased and an awnswering voice was heard. “The spirit of Myrtle pond.” So weird and unearthly was the answer that the old negro turned and ran m the direction from which he came, while the ghostly music was resumed. The fisherman reached his cot by a more roundabout way that night, and his family, in their hum ble cot, listened to his recital of the thrilling experience he had passed through. The story spread until it was general talk among the superstitious negroes and not one dared approach the pond. Two little negro boys came run ning into their “mammy” one day recently and told a hair splitting story of how while out near the pond playing, a white robed figure appeared before them singing a plaintive melody. They had run home as fast as possible so fright ened were they by the apparition. PIMPLES OX THE FA CE Denote an impure state of the blood and are looked upon by many with suspicion.

A gen tleman who came up on a Savan nah, Florida and Western train from Jesup last night said that Sheriff Smith, with forty or fifty citizens of the county, arrested night before last twenty-nine ne groes who are followers of James. James has been arrested also. There is no doubt of his being a lunatic, and he will he lodged in jail as soon as possible. Hon. T. M. Norwood is in Liberty county now as counsel against the noisy religious fanatics. Some of the negroes of the county look with amazement at what their friends are doing, hut do not lollow them. The church people are be ginning to wake up. At recent meetings in the churches the fol lowing resolutions were drafted: We the ministers and officers of the colored churches of Liberty county, representing the interest and honor of our people, appeal to the civil authorities of this county to order the fanatic follow ers of Dupont Bell, the impostor, to disband and remain disbanded, and congregate no more in any place in the bounds of the county, on the following grounds: 1. That they haye become a crazy mob. 2. That some of them have be come insane and that there is dan ger of many more becoming so. 8. That their acts have been de graded, and degrading in the ex treme, vulgar, indecent and beastly. 4. That their doctrines and cere monies are vile aud demoralizing to morals. 5. That there is Ganger that many of them will become paupers or thieyes from want of crops aban doned and labor suspended. G. That they have committed mitted crimes against the person, beating their opponents and their own followers almost to death, as saulting, even with intent to mur der or violence. 7. That it is is injuring the honor and character of our people at home and abroad, misleading the public mind as to the members who have joined the craze, whereas, it is evident that 19 per cent, of our peo ple are respectable and in their right minds, and faithful to law and order, civil and ecclesiastical.

Nashville, Tenn., July 27- Two hundred people in the twenty- third district oi Wilson county have banded for the purpose of driving Mormon elders and converts from that county. This action has been taken on account of the conduct of Mormons on a recent occasion. While Rev. John Barrett, a Baptist preacher was holding service in Wet- more’s school house, he was inter rupted by some of the Mormon con verts present, who asked himseyei- al questions and then became in sulting in their language. Mem bers in the congregation made a move to resent this interference, whereupon the Mormons jumped out of the window and dared them to come out and fight. Two justices of the peace subsequently prepared a big dinner, and invited the community at large to come and hear Mr. Barrett preach, and to give him protection. Every one expected that a fight would take place, but the Mormons stayed away. The preacher called on the congregation to know how many would help to drive thq Mormons out of the county. In reponse to his invitation, all the men in the congregation, about two hundred, gave him their hands, promising to drive the Mormons out by what ever means would be necessary. The Mormons have been forbidden to travel on the roads, and notified to stop holding meetings. Fa; Roll ot a small Factor;.

Athens Banner. Yesterday during the shower of rain a loud crashing noise was heard on the campus and a Ban ner reporter hastened to the scene, expecting to find the walls of the old Richardson house, which are now being replastered, crumbled to the earth. But such was not the case. The noise was caused by the falling of one of the large branches of the old Bob Toombs oak, in front of the college chapel. It was one of the main limbs of the tree which reached over the walk beside the chapel steps, and was the same limb that shaded the great statesman on the occasion of his graduating speech, from which event the stal wart oak dates its name. Who has not heard of the Bob Toomb’s oak and of its history ? Baneath its shades the man whose name it bears charmed hun dreds of Georgians, who leaving the exercises in the chapel came out to listen to the lhagic of his eloquence. That was many years ago, when life and vigor filled the veins of the great Georgian with the bloom of youth, and when the old tree itself was fresh and green in its best days. But time has brought its changes to both. General Toombs, with a wreath of well deserved tame and with a crown of universal love and admi ration, has “crossed the river to join the majority.” The old oak for several years has been going to decay. Its trunk is becoming hallowed by time’s tell ing stroke, and the mammoth branches are gradually growing dead and falling back to mother earth. In all probabilities the tree will have to be cut down. There is something touching in the parallel histories of the man and of the tree. Both were reared into prominence at the same moment; both have flourished among the kingdoms with lofty heads; both have fallen at almost simultaneous periods. Neither will soon be forgotten. Time will do its destroying work will wrinkle fond faces and whiten golden locks, but in vain will it labor to dim the brilliancy of the name of Toombs or efface the memories that cluster around the venerable oak. The Trust Fails to Secure Sufficient Subscribers. New York, July 27.—The direc tors of the North American Salt Company authorized the publica tion of the following this morning: “While the subscriptions have been very numerous and in the aggregate large, the trustees feel that they are not justified in proceeding to an al lotment of shares on the present ba sis, without further conterence with the subscribers and vendors. This, on account of the subscribers being on both sides of the Atlantic and the vendors widely separated, will take time, and it has been decided to return the subscrip tions and postpone further action until these negotiations can be com pleted.” There was, therefore, no meeting of the salt trust this morn ing. Curious Discovery or the Sahara. One of the engineers on the Sahara railroad, now being con structed by France, reports a dis covery of great archaeological value. Coming upon a mound of sand he had it dug into and found a dome, which proved to be the top ot a tower; and, digging deeper, the tower proved to belong a mosque entirely imbedded in the sand. Continuing his researches, he has uncovered nine houses and a water course. The water course is of great value and will be used for irrigation. This) discovery confirms the impression that the Sahara is another instance of the modification which climatic changes will affect, and that it was once a popu lous land, instead of the waste of desert we see it to-day. A Snake Charmed li; Music. Last Tuesday afternoon Miss Annie Sandford, of Crawfordville, who is visiting Mrs. Dr. Foullain, of Greensboro, was in the parlor play ing on the piano. She played for some time, and upon stopping to go into another portion of the house she saw lying coiled on the door mat an enormous snake. The snake was lying with its head on its coil w’atching the piano, and there can be no doubt it had been draum into the room by the music. ARE YOU SKEPTICAL?

The worst thing a person can take for a cold is advice. Every man is sometimes a bait on some other man’s hook. People who get lonesome real ize what poor company they are. A man doesn’t feel the least in flated when blown up by his wife. A berry picker generally gets what he can and cans what he gets. The electrician is a good soldier. He knows how to charge a bat tery. After young Bodkins had hug ged his girl, he called her strained honey. Most revolutions nowadays are caused by the modern printing presses. Every chief should be a base bal- list in order to catch the flies from the batter. When you feel like calling a big man a liar be sure you’re right, then use the telephone. It is one of the distressing auomi- lies of modern life that the man who can’t sing does sing. Port Huron has a tough whose forehead is so low that when he weeps the tears run down his hack. A man who can’t sing and will sing has a depressing effect on the value of real estate in his locality. “Mamma if you had three twins what would you call them—troub- lets?” “Yes, dear I think I would.” Miss DeSmythe—“I wonder why these mosquitoes never come to the hotel ?” Cholly—“They can’t afford it.” It takes four years for a college to turn out a good student. But it frequently turns out a bad one in less than three months. “I’m like a tree.” he observed, as the clock struck 11.

Guest—Who kept up that terrific pounding on the piano last night. Host—It was next door. Guest— A great annoyance isn’t it. Host —I should say it is.
