luacgis* ;sP&£Mgf GROWING OLD. Softly, oh! softly the years have swept by tliee, Touching thee lightly, with tenderest care; Sorrow and death did they often bring nigh thee, Yet they have left thee but beauty to wear. Growing old gracefully— Graceful and fair. Far from the storms that are lashing the ocean, Nearer, each day, to the pleasant home light; Far from the waves that are big with com motion, Under full sail, and the harbor in sight, Growing old cheerfully— Cheerful and bright. Fast all the winds that were adverse and chilling, Tast all the islands that lured thee to rest, Fast all the currents that wooed thee, un willing, Far from the port and land of the blest, Growing old peacefully— Peaceful and blest. Never a feeling of envy or sorrow When the bright faces of children are seen; Never a year from their youth wouldst thou borrow— Thou dost remember what lieth between. Growing old willingly, Gladly, I ween. Rich in experience that angels might cov- v et; Rich in a faith that has grown with thy yeare; Rich in the love that grew from and above it, Soothing thy sorrows and hushing thy fears. Growing old wealthily, Loving and dear. Hearts at the sound of thy coming are lightened, Ready and willing the hand to relieve. Many a face at thy kind words has bright ened, “It is more blessed to give than receive.” Growing old happily— Blest, we believe. Eyes that grow dim to tlio earth and its glory, See but the brighter the heavenly glow! Ears that are dull to the world and its story, Drink in the songs that from paradise flow. All their sweet recompense Youth cannot know. Fourscore! But softly the years have swept by thee, Touching thee lightly with tenderest care; Sorrow and death have they often brought uigh thee, Yet they liave left thee but beauty to wear. Growing old gracefully, Gracefiu and fair. THE GEORGIA PRESS. Tiie Albany Advertiser announces a jail delivery in Dougherty county. Six prisoners escaped—three white and three colored.

Augusta Chronicle: Last evening at &30 o’clock, Mr. Richard W. Heard died at bis residence in Summerville of con sumption, contracted in the army. The deceased was well and favorably known in Augusta, where he spent his youth and his childhood days, was a son of the late Stephen D. Heard and was highly thought of by all with whom he came in contact. He was for some years engaged in the cotton business here, nntil his failing health cut him off from active life. For the past five months he lias been very ill witli a disease, which it was very evident would hasten his end, and during the past few days,' especially, was it evident that death was imminent. Mr. Heard was thirty-five years old, leaves a wife and children besides a large circle of relations and friends to mourn his loss. He was a member of the order of Knights of Honor. His funeral will take place from his resi dence in Summerville tilts afternoon at 4:30 o’clock. Albany Advertiser: “Men often jmnp at conclusions,” says the proverb. Yes, and so do dogs. One jumped at the “con clusion” of a big Irishman, which was sticking out of a hole through which Pat was trying to follow six other prisoners, who escaped from tbe jail in this city last jiight. aud created quite a disturbance. T Valdosta Times; ’ If truck farming in south Georgia don't receive a considera ble boom, then we are mistaken in the signs of the times. Eight car loads of melons were shipped from Ou»ley’s up to la>t night. Next week they will go oil'at the rate of six oir seven car loads per day. Columbus Times: Yesterday an acci dent occurred on the incoming train on • the Columbus and Borne railroad which created considerable excitement, but no damage. When Lite train had reached the .ossing oil the Western road, in passing, the jolt uncoupled four freight ca-s and. the graJe being very steep, they Cantu rapidly down to the end of the track and von are charged with treating the poi.ple of Georgia—you have never paid us a cent for our property, aud we be.eby^lvajou notice that, until the money is paid, yon cannot get our deed, and we shall ruu the machine just as though yon had not bought it, whether you like it or not. But mind ye, Joe, when the title passes out of our hands you must manage the machine yourself, or buy up some of those gabby fellows who are abusing you, to dp it for you—possibly the fellow who said you had bought us all up could be secured. Augusta News: Capt. Arnold, who has jnst returned from a visit to Wilkes county, says he never saw more flatter ing prospects for good harvests in his life. The cotton is unusually promising, while the com was never better. The same re ports reach us from all sections of Geor gia, and, should no unforeseen calamity befall us, next harvest moon will witness an immense amount of cotton and cereals gathered. Atlanta Phonograph: Friday night, Jeff Long, the notorious politician of Macon, passed through the city on his way home from Chicago. While standing in front of this office waiting for a Constitution reporter to come along and interview him, he remarked: “I went around to sec Governor Colquitt this morning, as he had a little arrangement that he wanted me to fix up for him at Macon.” In the event he is not nomi nated, he wants to have the colored brethren all ready in time. Cleveland Advertiser: A correspon dent of the Gainesville Southron, in rec ommending Hon. R. E. Lester for the of fice of governor, very innocently says that Mr. Lester began life “a barefoot boy.” That is about the way that all the boys in this part of Georgia begin life. It may be different down in Burke county where Mr. Lester was bom. Roue Tribune: Geoigia is one of the few States that doesn’t send her United States Senators to the national conven tions as delegates. Albany Advertiser: The Advertiser is not opposed to Gov. Colquitt’s re-elec tion because of his appointment of ex-Gov. Brown as the successor ol Gen. Gordon in the United States Senate. We really think the appointment tbe best one that could have been made. In this we know that there are many who honestly differ with us, hut this is their right, and we arc perfectly willing that they should enter tain and express their opinions, claiming of icotirse, the same right for ourselves. Augusta News: The Geoigia railroad is doing a heavy freight business now,and seventy-five loaded freight cars came into Augusta over the road yesterday. Extra trains have to be used to haul this freight, and three long trains in a line is as com mon now as in the busy winter season. Last Sunday was a warm day in Savan nah, according to the News. The ther mometer registered, at 7 o’clock a. si., 87 degrees; at 8:30 o’clock, 90; and at2 o’clock it reached 100 degrees. It com menced receding, and, at 7 p. sl, it was 92 degrees. The city was almost desertei; everybody that could went out of the city, and those who could not remained within doors and made tlia best of their situa tion. Excubsion tickets on the Ocean Steam ship Line to New York are nowon sale in Savannah.. The tickets are good until October 1st, 18S0, by the City of Macon which sails next Saturday, June 19th After cabin ticket, S30; forward cabin, $25 for round trip. Other steamers same price. - ■ i Mr. W. C. Smith, a colored Democrat, .in Americas, demands his right to partici pate in the nominating convention. And why shouldn’t he ? “Bill Akp,” the humorist, says he doesn’t see any good reason for kicking up such a fuss and abusing Governor Col- 3 uilt so much about the appointment of oe Brown to the UnitedStates Senate in the place of Gordon. Mr. “Arp” says Congress will remain in session only a few days, and that Joe Brown couldn't, do much harm if he wanted to, and if the legislature doesn't like Joe, it can refuse to elect him next November. I Griffin News: A few days ago we saw a regro woman rush into our front gate as though she was in a great hurry, and had an important message that must be delivered at once. About the time she got about half-way from the gate to the house, she commenced grabbing round at the clover as though she expected to find a fortune in a few minutes. We asked her what she was doing so energetically, and she replied she was getting a “four-leafed clover” which she saw as she was passing along the street. Site said it would be sure to give her luck aud riches. This started some ladies who were present to looking for another sprig of the same kind; bnt after a four horns’ search in the middle of the day, they gave np In disgust fully satisfied that there was no good lack nor a fortune in sight for them. Berrien County News : Spirits of tur pentine lias declined to twenty-three cents. This, in our judgment, is due to the combinations of speculators in the ar ticle. If oar turpentine men can hold a few months, it will doubtless pay to dff so. Atlanta Post: It is stated that some Democrats are favorable to the insane idea of putting Grant in nomination at Cincinnati. Certainly no true American citizen would desire to see the staudard of imperialism raised again. Let the dead Catsar lie where be fell. Griffin Sun: The Lynchbuig (Va.) News says: Our friend, I. S, Brown, general transport agent A. M. & O. rail road, arrived in our city yesterday even ing, having in charge twenty-five prelty young ladies of the Augusta female semi nary, of Staunton, Va., en route viaKen- nesaw route. The commencement exer cises of the school began last Monday, and were concluded Tuesday night. Among those in the party to whom were awarded medals and prizes were: Miss Mary Bell Powell, of Bamesville, Ga., received the prize for the best composition. Miss Lizzie Hill, Griffin, Ga., took the scholarship star medal, tbe composition star medal, the medal for scientific at tainment in mnsic and the first lmnor medal in German, in' addition to a diplo ma of graduation—all in three years.. This young lady took the highest honor and more medals titan were ever Awarded in the history of this widely known insti tution. Miss Carrie Butler, of Savannah, Ga., took the first honor medal in elocution. Miss Ann Murphey, of Atlanta, Ga., and Miss Mary Nugert, of New Orleans, were awarded improvement medals in instru mental music. Berrien County News: -Wool is com ing in slowly, and sellers generally are still disposed to wait for better prices.' Thirty-three and a half cents was, the rul ing price Thursday evening. The market is unsettled, no one. hereabouts knowing what a day will bring forth. Savannah Neics: The steamship Gate City, from New York, arrived off the bar Friday night, and came up Satur day morning early. Part of the cargo consists of through freights for the. West, twelve packages for St. Louis, aud one hundred packages lor Louisville. The freight comprises oil, soda, and general merchandise. We clip the following from the Atlanta Post. Some of our readers are acquainted with the hero of this story: Judge Lochrane threw himself into the hurly-burly at Chicago with all the ardor and elfui of his fervid and impassioned nature, to whip the fight and carry Grant to the White House on a gigantic aud dominant third term wave. This was the bold and audacious-design which filled Lochrane's mind and fired his inflamma ble enthusiasm. The brilliant and daring Irishman surveyed the field and counted the chances. He knew, the winning witchery of Ids magnetic nature—thespell which hif silvery eloquence seldom failed to exercise—and he knew, too, that his active brain was fertile in expedients which might easily decide a doubtful con test. — ■ ' But in this instance Lochratte reckoned without his host. The turbulent, d'seord- aiit and antagonized factious of Chicago whirled and eddied him from one circle to another, and tlicn back again, in such a mob eloquence was at a.discount, and the races that would have* charmed a court trcle were of no avail. Indomitable will-power, bnildtiziug. aggressive meas ures, and corrupt methods were Lite order .of the day, and the real lealers of the con- three ea:s ran into the street. The engine came down, coupled up and pulled the cats on the track again. Conyers Examiner: On Wednesday night last the down through freight, in going down the Alcova grade, a portion of the train became detached, and when the engine slacked up to cross the river bridge the detached portion of the train ran into the other part, smashing seven or eight cars. The wreck delayed the up train five or six hours. Columbus Enquirer: Some are puz zled to know why the close of a college season is called commencement day. For the very simple reason that it is exactly what it is named. All the examinations have been -finished and the classes pro moted. The graduates deliver their speeches and commence the active dnties of life. If the test has proven correct, the senior commences to be a man of the world, the junior becomes a senior, a sophomore a junior, and a freshman a sophomore. All commence a higher grade. True, vacation intervenes be tween this and the next season, bnt no ex aminations are required at the opening only to new pupils—-all the others going into the higher classes to which they were promoted at commencement. While seemingly the close of one college year it is really the commencement of the next— is truly commencement day. Augusta News: Yesterday, while on a picnic excursion to the locks, a negro named George Mart ay, who was the car riage driver for Mrs. Montgomery, of Sum merville, went in swimming, and being paralyzed with cramps, was drowned be fore assistance could reach him. His body was recovered. He was regarded a3 a very valuable servant. Athens Banner: The following gen tlemen have been awarded Junior speak er’s places, at the approaching commence ment of tbe University of Georgia: For scholarship—E. H. Calloway, Wilkes county; A. C. Lowe, Wilkes coun ty; A. L. McCrae, Telfair connty; G. H. Nixon, Richmond, county; M. 0. Pope, Wilkes county, W. L. Radney, Troup county; H. C. Tuck, Clarke couuty. For composition—A. P. Persons, Tal bot county; J. B. Sanders, Green county. On declamation—J. P. Matthews, Wilkes county; J. B. Sanders, Green coun ty, J. G. Camp, Douglass county; W. W. Hardy, Coweta county. Valdosta Times: Wonder what Wade got for his Geoigia niggets in Chicago. It is said the colored brother commanded a higher price in that market than he ever did in Geoigia before the war. “Nigger trader'' is not a barbarian of the past—he is a reality oflhe present. „ • Atlanta Post: The Republicans are now trying to stuff somebody with the ab surdity that the Democrats will nominate Grant at Cincinnati. They say the Dem ocrats have been inconsistent ever since the war and this would not be more ab surd than was the nomination of Greeley in 1872. Early County News: There was a Ma con drummer in Blakely the other day, who said Joe Brown had bought up all the press of the State that were not active ly engaged in abusing him. Now, Uncle Joe, we want to know if that drummer told the truth. If so, yon have treated the Early County News more shabbily than ventiou had graduated in all of these arts before Locrane tried bis 'prentice hand on national politics. Lochraue staked all of his lofty aspira tions on one game of hazard, and he has lost. The protective prime minister of the empire is now relegated to his attor neyship for the Pullman Car Company, and Ills dream of a conspicuous place in the American Cussar’s great drama is over. Bnt this is only one of the incidents in Lochrane’s career. What the finale will be no mortal man can predict. With as many political lives as a cat, and with the same happy knack of alighting on his feet every time, he has still more than one op portunity left him. . . Griffin News: The news cams to town last night that Robert Hobbs, Jr. had been mortally wounded out at the f iicnic at Gray’s mill by a man named Sul- ivan. Dr. Moore was summoned to the scene after dark, and went. Wo did not learn the particulars of the difficulty. The Monroe Advertiser pathetically re marks: Under whose administration of public affairs as governor have taxes been reduced nearly one-half? Under whose administration have Geoigia bonds risen from below par to a price equal to any in the United States ? Under whose admin istration lias a floating debt of $350,000 bden paid? Under whose administration occurred the redemption of a quarter of a million dollars of Geoigia bonds before they were due? Under whose adminis tration has the least money been required to pay the expenses of the government? Under whose administration has more than a quarter of a million dollars been collected from the Fedejal government artd paid into the treasury of Georgirf? To sum up who has administered tbe gov ernment of. Georgia, so as to reduce the taxes of the citizens? The t answer to tlicse questions is a name that will be good one to write on the ticket when dele gates are voted for to go to the guberna torial convention. - j / .The Bamesville Gazette says: .Rev. Sam P. Jones, of Jasper county, recently concluded a religions meeting in Bartles ville, of two weeks duration. The Metho dist church there received eighty-eight new members, among them many promi nent citizens. Tbe Monroe Advertiser has this to say about a naughty Georgian : Rev. G. T. Wilbume, who preached in the Baptist chnreh in Forsyth before the wir, subsequently removed to Texas and, became president of a female college. He ran off with a lady teacher, leaving a wife and children. He has recently been heard of in Utah, and has adopted tbe Mormon faith, and is a preacher there. He will be remembered as the author of Sam Simple. Breaking of the late Atlanta conven tion, the daily Herald, of this city, says : The manner in which Hod. A. O: Bacon wis called to preside over the late conven tion, was enough to give a fair idea of his standing with the representative men of Georgia. The suggestion of his name was greeted with loud and long-continued applause. We noticed that Mr. Bacon, while in the cliair, immediately recognized every man who rose to say a word, and called him by name. His extensive - acquaintance and strong personal friendship all over the State, constitute him a strong mau to pit against the shrewd old coon who now fills General Gordon's seat. A Chapter of Accidents and Deaths.—The Albany News says: A lit tle colored girl, residiug with her parents in the sonthem part of tbe city, attempted to kindle a fire by the use of kerosene oil last Friday, and was seriously injured. While she was pounng.oil upon the wood the flame ascendpd the stream and entered the can, causing it to explode with a loud noise, and driving tbe fragments of tin with such force as to knock the eliild senseless. Some of the pieces of tiu cut several ugly gashes in her forehead, but nothing dangerous. £ rj 'V A r J Death of IIon. D. C. Cody, of CiiATLAHOociRSE^Colnmbus3 Enquir er.: This well known and widely respect ed gentleman died snddenly of apoplexy at his home in Chattahoochee county be tween 12 and 1 o’clock. Sunday night, in the fifty-first year of his age. He was horn in Jones county, resided some years in Talbot, and removed to Chattahoochee in 1S51, about which time he was united in marriage with a daughter of Rev. Chas. Fisher. Mr. Cody was a gallant Confed erate, serving through the war as captain of a company from his county. As a civ ilian be served a term in the State Senate from this district a few yean since. He had been a successful planter for many years,’ and was amongst tbe most promi nent and respected men of his connty. At tbe time of his death be was postmaster at Cottage Mills, au honored member of the Baptist church, and Master of Cusseta Masonic lodge. He leaves a wife and two children. The news of tbe death of Capt. Cody was received with astonishment aud regret by his many friends in this city. Itp Chattahoochee, where he was so well known and widely respected, the regret will be universal. Albany' News: On Saturday night tbe k t tchen of Mr. C. W. Randall, at Pal myra, caught fire and was entirely con sumed, together with the fumitnre con tained therein. The fire originated from a defective stovepipe. By strenuous ef forts the other houses on the premises were saved.’ Mr. Randall Is rebuilding at once. Milledoeville Becorder: On Satur day Miss Alice Wright, of this city, was thrown from a buggy in which she was about to take a ride by the sudden start of the horse. She was braised considera bly, but we are pleased to say, not seri ously injured. The Columbus Enquirer has the fol lowing: We are reliably informed that Mr. John J. Gransley of Early couuty, committed suicide on last Friday, by taking chloral No cause is assigned tor the rash act. We are informed that on Sunday night, at Cross Keys, Macon county, Alabama, Charles Taylor was killed by Sol Leon ard striking him over the head with a club, while on their way to church. A dusky female was the cause of the trouble. Both parties were negroes. A youth named Griffin Robinson was drowned Sunday afternoon, while in bath ing, at Columbns factory. He was aged 17 years and the only son of a widow, Efforts were being made yesterday to re cover his body. The Columbus Enquirer, in speaking of the commencement exercises of the Co lumbus Female College, says of the ser mon: Dr. Glazebrook selected as his text a portion of the 12th verse of the 144th Psalm, “That oar daughters may be as comer stones, polished after the simili tude of a .palace.” The two principal points presented by the speaker were, first, woman’s influence; second, the mod el by which that influence should be shaped. The speaker concluded his thir ty minutes’ addicss by comparing the well balanced elements of character in the true woman with beautiful flowers in the sight of’God. The Savannah News says: The pro ject of a railroad to connect the flourishing city of Darien with Savannah has forsome time been discussed, and we are pleased to see by the proceedings of a public meet ing, which will be found in another col umn, that the enterprising and progessive men of our sister city are moving in earn est for its consummation. They have taken the proper step3 both to bring the subject prominently before the people and to elicit all the information necessary to demonstrate the utility and practicability of the enterprise. That a short line of road running through one of the best sections of farming and timber country in Southern Georgia, and connecting Darien with Savannah would be advantageous to both cities, does not admit of a doubt, and when the investigations contemplated by the resolutions of the Darien meeting are made, we feel confident that these advan tages will be made so manifest that there will be no difficulty in obtaining the cap ital necessary for the construction of the proposed road. Trusting that the com mittee will prosecute their inquiries to speedy and satisfactory conclusion, we shall wateh their progress with interest and most cheerfully give whatever aid we can to the enterprise. Atlanta Post: One litmdred re cruits arrived in Atlanta tills mornin via the Kennesaw route. They enlistee: at Davidson Island aud are intended to swell the ranks of the Fifth Artillery, lo cated at this place. Augusta News: At a regular confer ence meeting of Curtis Baptist Chnreh held yesterday, a call to the pastorate was tendered tp Rev. W. T. Cheney, a tal ented atid worthy young minister, who is now a student in the University of Geor gia. Mr. Cheney, it will be remembered, was in Augusta a short time since, and preached at Curtis church. He will graduate at the University in a few weeks, whon he will take permanent charge of the church as its pastor. . In the mean, time he will come duwn as often a3 cir cumstances will allow. Milled oeville Recorder: The car riages and caissons belonging to the two rilled cannon presented to the Georgia Military and Agricultural College reached the city on Thursday last. Capt. Walker had the cannon mounted and fired a sa lute. It was quite a surprise to many, aud to the captain, too, when he found tiie large glass in a front window of his store shattered by the shock. The wood work has been nicely painted a blue color and iron black. The Talbotton Register says: Oar rail road is making good progress. The con tractors are pushing ahead rapidly with the work and already have several thou sand yards graded for the cross ties and iron. They are operating in several places over a distance- of a mile, and are perfecting arrangements to put on quite a large force by midsummer. Let our peo ple go and inspect the work and feel en couraged. The railroad is coming and the prosperity of Talbotton and Talbot is assured. It is the wish of tiie directory to have the road in working order in time to junve tbe next cotton crop. Let every one who has not done so come up at once and pay the ten per cent, installment. Sale of tbe Selma, Rome and Dal ton Railroad.—Rome Courier: At Sqlma, Ala;,' yesterday, so much of the Selma, Rome and Dalton railroad as is in Alabama, was sold under decree of the chancery court, R.

The road has been run for a number of years by a receiver, under direction of the Chancery Court at Selma. There are about 170 miles of the road in Alabama, and the coiporation of which Mr. Wilson is presi ident owns the part in Georgia, about 66 miles in length. With the whole road, in lie bauds of one company, and it the pro prietor, we hope for its business, which lias recently been very good, to largely increase. Rome Tribune: At. a meeting of tbe Koine railroad yesterday, on motion of ; - Colonei D. S. Printnp, the young men’s best-friend,-the—company voted uhani--f mously a donation of $20 to each of the three military organizations of Rome.

Augusta News: Tim Murphy, the ir repressible Southern agent of the Cincin nati Southern railroad, passed through Augusta this morning. He is just up from Charleston and says everybody going to the Cincinnati convention from this section will go by his road. Atlanta Post: At the station hottse is a negro man known as Edward Cody, awaiting a claimant. Cody is wanted somewhere for a violation of the laws but it is not known where. He is a black negro about six feet high, weighs about 160 pounds, w*ars a moustache and chin whiskers and is rather slim. The ques tion that agitates the officer’s mind is, “where is Cody wanted?” We clip the following personals from the Talbotton Begister: Kev. Dr. M. B. Wharton, of Macon, preached at Valley Grove church, Talbot Valley, last Sunday. He raised $600 in subscriptions for the Southern Theologi cal Seminary at Louisville, Ky. Misses Mary Lou Little and Mamie Breedlove, Revs. B. F. Breedlove and R. W. McDonnell left for Macon on yester- day, to be present at Wesleyan College commencement. Albany Advertiser: On Saturday last, at noon a couple of convicts on Col. Lockett’s Rawls place were stricken down with sunstroke. They were immediately carried to the house and Dr. P. L. HHs- man sent for, who, on arriving, pronounc ed them beyond medical assistance. They both died shortly afterwards. They bad been confined in jail some time before; hence their inability to stand the hot days we have been having for some time past. Newnan Derald: Mr. D.P. Woodruff, of this city, on going out to his cow pen the other morning, found two of his cows fastened together by their horns in such a way as seemed to have defied all their efforts to extricate themselves. ' It took him some time to unlock and liberate them from their perilous situation, in which condition he supposes they must have continued the greater part of the night, judging from their exhausted ap pearance ana the way the ground was tramped in circles in their desperate attempts to unlock their horns. Talbotton Register: Mr. W. M. Fort made on four acres of land seeded down in October, an average of fifty bush els of red rust-proof oats to the acre. In height they would average five and onc- halffeet. Augusta Newts: Yesterday Mr. Ta- tham, of the firm ofTatham & Co., of Philadelphia, arrived in this city with five miners, who are en route to McDuffie county, where preparations are being made to open up a gold mine. The machinery and a large force of miners will arrive in a shore time, and he forwarded to McDuf fie at once, and be pat in operation at the earliest possible moment. Augusta Chronicle: We are requested to give notice that the Geoigia delegation to the Cincinnati convention are expected to meet in Atlanta on Friday morning, and will leave Atlanta at 3 o’clock in the afternoon for Cincinnati. It is desirable that as many delegates from sister States should go at the same time as possible. Delegates from South Carolina or Florida, desiring to go by the Cincinnati Sonthem railroad, in order to secure good accommodations, should ’ communicate at once by telegram with Mr. T. C. Murphy, agent, Atlanta, Ga. Judging from the comments of the press, our townsman, Mr. Bacon, seems to havs reaped a large share of honors as president of the Atlanta convention. It is no easy matter to handle successfully a body of three hundred and fifty men. Speaking of him, the LaGrange Reporter a ays: Mr. Bacon is an admirable presiding officer. He keeps a clear and cool head, a steady nerve and a ready gavel. He seems thoroughly versed in parliamen tary latr, is never at a loss, never hesi tates, carries the order of the business of the assembly in his mind without a hitch, a tangle or a balk, clears up dis puted and obscure points, and tarns light upon the minds of the thick-skulled, with a facility that is rare and remarkable. Withal, he has a fine presence, a hand some bearing, and a most attractive suavity of manners. In fact, the way he does it all is beautiful—no other word describes it. ___ Collision at Sea. New York, June 16.—The steamer The Queen, which arrived here, reports that on June 13th, while three hundred miles east of Sandy Hook, during a dense fog, she came in collision with the steamer Auclioria, of the Anchor Line, hound from New York for Glasgow. Both vessels were very seriously damaged, and, for a while, it was thought that both would go down. The Queen’s bow was stove in. The Queen took off all the pa83engess of the Anchoria, 180 in nntnber, and brought them to this port. The Anchoria is still outside the bar, waiting lor assistance. She has about 28 feet of water in her hold. Two compartments of the Anchoria were filled w.th water, and a3 there was every prospect of its sinking it was deter mined to transfer her passengers to the Queen as her injuries were not apparent ly so serious. The transfer was made in the boats, The sea was very calm and the boats performed their mission at little risk. The passengers state that after the collision the crew of the Anchoria became demoralized, three of them leaping aboard the Queen before the vessels separated. The men made no effort, it is stated, to save the passengers, but looked only to their own safety. Captain Heddenreck, of the Anchoria, behaved with great cool ness, and stuck to his vessel until all of tbe 150 or more passengers had been safely transferred to the Queen. Some of the passengers had to assist in launching the Anchoria’s boats. As soon as the boats struck the water the sailors were the first to jump into them. Immediately after the collision a boat was sent to the Anchoria by the Queen under command of the third officer to tehder assistance, aud all her other boats were got out at once. During the transfer of passengers Miss Carson, of Rochester, New York, fell overboard, but was res cued. This wa3 the only accident during the transfer. Capt. Haddenreck thought he could bring the Anchoria into port if tiie Queen would stand by him. Capt. Williams of the latter promised to do so. All of the crew of the Anchoria except five or six returned to duty and a start was made for New York, the Queen keep; ing close by until her arrival.

Collector Arthur Removed Because ho Grossly Abused his Trot. Hopes’Message to Senate, JsnsarjiSl.1879. m | With my information of the facts in the eye-piece, he seems to be suspended in! case, and with a deep sense of the re- mid air and looking down upon the lunar! sponsible obligation imposed upon me by la the Mountains of the Koon. When one looks at the moon through a powerful telescope furnished with a prism, plains and mountains from an enormous height. The falling away of the surface toward the edges of tbe great ball some times produces the sensation that is ex perienced in standing on the brink of a g giddy precipice. If • the magnifying power used is 500 diameters, the effect is about the same as if the observer were in a balloon 500 miles above tbe surface of the moon. Below him Ue mountains greater than Mounts Blanc and Chimborazo, looking no larger than pebbles. Ancient sea bot toms are spread beneath him like smooth floors, dotted here and there with eleva tions that may once have been islands, and surrounded by table lands, plains and mountain chains that show where the old sea-coast was flat and marshy, where it was full of harbors, and where it was iron-bound and perilous. Great naked plains stretch out in various directions as smooth as onr prai ries, and in other places there are reaches of billjr country and then tremendous mountain masses. The great topographi cal features remain, as in the days when the moon was young aud full of life like the earth; but the coasts are silent as the mountain peaks, the seas are empty, the fruitful soil is gone, all that ancient teem ing life has vanished, and the whole land is void of air. It is only the rocky skeleton of a dead world, and a pic ture of what our earth will be hundreds of millions of years hence It Is this last consideration—that the moon furnishes a sort of prophetic page wherein the earth’s future can be read— which makes the study of lunar scenery only less interesting than if our telescopes revealed to us cities and cultivated fields and all the evidences of man’s presence in the moon. The scenery of the moon is not only wonderful, but exceedingly beautiful, when viewed from the lofty perch that the observer with a telescope seems to occupy. This is especially true of the mountains. There being no air on those rocky heights, there is no gradation of light and the shadows are absolutely black. Therefore, night and day confront one another with out any intervening twilight. If one could stand upon a lunar moun tain he might be in the full blaze of the sun on the summit, while ten feet below all would be buried in the blackest night. The scene recalls the Plague of Darkness that was sent upon Egypt whon the habitations of the Israe lites were filled with light, while the ad joining lands of the Egyptians were walled up in night. The effect of this sharp con trast of light and shadow in the moon is wonderfully beautiful. A chain of mountains just at the edge of the illuminated portion lies uuder the telescope jplctured in silhouette upon the adjacent plain by the long shadows that are as sharp in outline as if cut from black paper. Yet more beauti ful are the circular mountains, or craters that are the characteristic features of lu nar scenery. Some of these are forty or fifty miles in diameter, and in the centre of the flat floor encloseil by the ring-moun tain rise one. or more high marl5. The effects of the light and shade among these craters are almost endless in diversity. With a good three-inch telescope, and a little practice in the management of the magnifying powers,one may easily see all the famous mountains of the moon, and most of the strange looking objects that have at different times been taken for for tifications, roads, and other works of man. There are a number of excellent maps of the moon, by whose aid every conspicu ous object may be recognized. The point of greatest interest to the observer is the long, jagged line, called the terminator,that marks the sharp division between day and night. If you watch that line for an hoar or two you will be astonished at the changes that have taken place under your eye. You Will see the sunshine creeping; down the .steep inner side ot a ringec. mountain, until the floor of the vast basin, which had before been perfectly black, looking like a hole through tbe moon, is rcachod and lighted. up, while the rocky flanks of the central peak, or cluster of peaks, come into view, and begin to cast long, spiry shadows over the crater floor. A lofty mountain, whose summit, gilded by the sunlight, has been visible for an hour, shining out of the dense obscurity that covers the region about it which is yet steeped in night, like a little island lying oft’a sunny coast, gradually swings into view, and the line of sunshine goes sweeping up its craggy sides, chasing the shadows, and revealing rocky spires and precipitous gotges deeper than the valley of the Mer de Glace. Tbe vast, dark plains, which were for merly supposed to be real seas, bnt in which modern astronomers see only the bottom of seas whose waters disappeared ages ago, retain their.old romantic names. There is the Ocean of Storms, covering a no trouble as they had a lady with them. Currie replied, “a d—d fine lady.” I Currie.took a drink,and asked witness if he knew Miss Cummins. Witness re plied no. Currie said he did, in terms unfit to print. • * j Currie then shot at Barrymore, then at Porter, then at Barrymore, The latter had pulled ofl'his coat, intending to resent tbe insult to the lady. At the time of £he shooting Currie was between Barrymore and Porter. . Dr. Elam Johnson testified that Porter died from the wound by a pistol hall in the stomach. Maurice Barrymore took the - stand. The crowd pressed forward to catch every word. The witueis gave a graphic and rapid recital of the affair. He testified to going to the saloon with Porter and Mis3 Cummins, telling him to order what they wauted, and .retired to atteud to some bus iness. On returning he was told by Miss Cummins that a funny man had been in the room, and asked: “Do you want to buy a dog?” Witness remarked that this was only an expression, anil seated himself to lunch, when he heard some one say to Porter “D{d you mean that for mo?” Porter expressed surprise. Cur rie called Porter a s—n of a b—h, and said: “You can’t give me any of your gull’.” Witness related bow Currie was re- njinded that there was a lady, and repeated the same reply of Currie related by Harvey. Witness said Currie asked him if he wanted to take it up; witness replied that be would protect the lady, and was not armed; that Currie swore he was not. Miss Cummins pleaded with Currie to stop; Currie then had two pistols in his hands; Currie then shot witness in the ldft arm; witness escaped by going into the saloon in the rear; looked back and saw Currie shoot Porter; witness ran out in the yard; came back to Miss Cummins, and Currie again leveled his pistol at him; Porter was iH asnpplicalingattitude when shot; there was no oue in the luncli-room but Harvey and-those in the difficulty; Currie asked Porter to go 'outside and fight it out; Porter said he would be out presently. The court adjourned till mowi ng . ... Galveston June 10.—A News special from Marshal says the Currie trial contin ued yesterday. Barrymore testified that he did not bring money to pay for the prosecution. Col. Whitaker, proprietor of the hotel where the killing occurred, testified that Porter said on liis death bed Oh my Lord, why did that man want to kill me. What harm did I do him?” Witness said that Currie was nervous after the shooting. When lie saw him lie had two pistols, and reloaded in his pres ence, saying “ Now let them come, they can’t give me any of their guff.” Defense endeavored to show that Currie, who was shot in the neck six years ago, lost control of himself when in liquor in With its equatorial' situation, and sur-, ronnded by some of the most gigantic mountains in the moon, it may have been, before its waters were stolen away, as tempeslons. us\,.it3 name implies. On the south of - the Ocean of Storms projects a large bay of a re markably green hue, which is called the Sea of Moisture, while on the north the ocean runs into the narrow Bay of Dew. Then there is the Sea of Showers, the largest of the moon’s seas, or sea bottoms. Between the ’ Sea of Showers and that brilliant portion of the moon called the Land pf Hoar Frost, lies the Bay of Rain bows, which, as the celebrated observers Beer and Madler thought, furnishes the most magnificent landscape the moon. It is surrounded by lofty shining, cliffs. -In the centre of the moon are the Sea ol Vapors and thoTJay of Tides. In the north are Plato, or the Greater Black Lake, tne Sea of Cold, and the Marsh of Sleep, the latter being re markable for its reddish hne. In the east are the Sea of Serenity, the Sea of Tran quillity, the Sea of Fertility, the Sea of Nectar, and the dark Crisian Sea. The last named, judging from its unusual de pression, was probably the deepest of all the lunar seas, although its greatest length is only about 359 miles. Around all these seas cluster ringed mountains, craters, and mountain ranges, whose shadows are thrown upon their lev el surfaces, varying in length and shape and number witji every hour. The whole southern quarter of the moon is occupied hy the great mountain region that has the -tremendous crater Tycho fer its centre. Here the amateur telesco- pist may spend hours among the glittering peaks. It is like looking down into the heart of the Adirondacks, with the mountains increased ten fold in magnitude and a thousand fold in number. The mountain wall that surrounds Tycho is a perfect ring fifty-four miles in diame ter, and three miles high. Exactly in tbe centre of the great fiat floor, inclosed within the ring, rises a mountain peak a mile in height that shines brilliantly in the sunlight. In t good three-inch tele scope, Tycho is an object of surprising beauty and ever varying interest as the sunshine creeps up its outer walls, leaps down the terraced slope of the opposite side of the ring, and, sliding across the broad, level floor, climbs the central peak, and throws its long- pointed shadow clear across the crater. For hundreds of miles on every side of Tycho the whole surface of the moon Is broken and upheaved into jagged moun tain masses, in which are many peaks loftier than the highest Alps, and some that equal the mightiest of the Andes. The spectacle of the sunrise upon these mountains is magnificent beyond descrip tion. Some of the highest mountains in the moon lie along the edge of the disk, and are seen as in profile against the sky. the constitution, to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed,” I regard it as my plain doty to suspend the officers in question, and to make the nominations now before the Senate, in order that this important office may be honestly and effi ciently administered. Sherman's Letter to President January 88: If, to secure the removal of an officer, it is necessary to establish the actual com mission of a crime by proofs demanded in a court of justice, then it is clear that the case against Mr. Arthur is not made out, especially if his answer is held to be con clusive, without reference to the proofs on the public records and tendered to the committee and the Senate. Bnt if it is to be held that, to procure the removal of Mr. Arthur, it is sufficient to reasonably establish that gross abuses of administra tion have continued and increased during his incumbency; that many persons have been regularly paid on his rolls who ren dered little or no service; that the ex penses of his office have increased, while collections have been diminishing; that bribes, or gratuities in tbe nature of bribed, have been received by his subor dinates in several branches of the custom house; that efforts to correct.these abuses have not met his support, and that he has not given to the duties of the office the. requisite diligence and attention, then it is submitted that the case is made out. fills form of proof the department is prepared to submit. . Cotton Reports. Washington, June 16.—The following was issued,by the department of ngiicul- ture to-day: COTTON. Cotton returns to this department indi cate an increase in the area planted In cotton of 7 per cent. Reports "were as follows: Forty counties in North Carolina report an average increase of 6 per cent.; nineteen counties in South Carolina, an increase of 7 per cent.; seventy-fire coun ties in Georgia, 8 per cent, increase; thir teen in Florida, 3 per cent.; thirteen in Alabama, S per cent.; thirteen in Missis sippi, an average of 3 per cent.; eighteen in Louisiana, 4 per cent.; seventy-three counties in Texas, 12 per cent.; thirty in Arkansas 7, and twenty-five in Tennessee 15 per cent, increase. The condition is reported as bettor than last ycaf at the same time, and is 99 this year against 96 I ait year. The weather was favorable everywhere—rather too much rain in Mis sissippi and Louisiana. WHEAT. The average of spring wheat shows a very slight increase over that sewn last year. There i3 a decline in the area sown in'the States of Wisconsin and Iowa of nearly 12 per cent. In the New Eng land States the area is the same; in Min nesota, an increase of 6 per cent.; in Ne braska, an increase of 9 per cent., and in Alabama, of 12 per cent. The condition of winter wheat is remarkably good, aud is 94, which is four per cent, above the average of last spring. Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois all report above 100; Kansas only 72, on account of protracted drought. Blocking- onr ftirecia.

Hamilton, of Clinton, and J. q. Ad ams, ot Eatonton. ** The Convention. A World Washington special says the Democrats of both houses had a good, quiet time of it watching the returned and despondent delegates and occasionally amused themselves discussing the work to be done next week at Cincinnati. What ever may be the feeling elsewhere, it is vety strong among Democrats here that Governor Seymour will be the nominee, with an Ohio or Indiana man, say Judge Thurman or Mr. Hendricks, as the second on the ticket. That is the ticket the Re publicans most dread and that tbe Demo crats, even the majority of those with pro nounced preferences elsewhere, most ad mire. A prominent Georgian said to-day that the convention In his State, which de clared for Judge Field, was not a Field convention, but a strong man convention, with individual preferences for Seymour, and that if it should appear in convention that Seymour would consent to run, the Georgia delegation would at once shift to him. Oue of the Virginia senators says the same for his State. Senators Hamp ton and Butler, although preferring Sena tor Bayard tp,anybody else as a nominee, would willingly accept Seymour without other than personal regret, and so through all the South, where most of the Demo cratic votes are to come from, Seymour is the favorite. His chances of carrying New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Connecticut, and also Ohio and In diana, if associated with ThHrtnan or Hendricks, make him doubly a favorite. So, however the kaleidoscope may shift in the next ten days, he is the prominent figure in it now. With the ticket named, Republicans reluctantly admit that but little short of a miracle could cany the Republican nominees through. Judge Yield—Governor Seymour. The South may be and probably will lie solid as against Garfield; but the South casts only 13S votes. The Democratic candidate must get 47 votes from the North, in order to insure his success. Of these, 15 can be obtained in Indiana. He will still need 32. Where else than in New York can they be had ? California casts only 6 votes, Oregon only 3; Colora do only 3; Nevada only 3. So the com bined vote of all the Pacific States is the beggarly number of fifteen. Seventeen are still wanting. Where can they be had ? Even if New Jersey and Connecti cut should vote the Democratic ticket onr nominee would still be behind. These two States cast but fifteen votes.' In all the North there is not another State which the Democrats have any sort of prospect of carrying. So, without the vote of New York, the Demo cratic candidate would have no reason to hope for success. California, Colorado, Oregon, Nevada, Connecticut, and New Jersey, all combined, would not supply the place of New York. In a word, the vote of Now York canuot be dispensed with. Be sure, then, Mr. Seymour’s is still a foremost name amongst those in the minds ot tbe delegates to the Democratic national convention. When it is stated that the combined vote of all the Pacific States is but 15, Judge Field is seen to have but- a slim chance of being a prominent candidate before the Cincin nati convention. Fifteen votes are in this case no better than none. Thirty-two must be had iu addition to the hundred and thirty-eight from the South and the 15 from Indiana. New Jersey and Connecticut cannot supply them. They must come from New York. But we have no idea that Judge Field could carry all j expected any time for two months past, the Pacific States, if nominated.

Mr. Lockwood. It does not appear that he had any special prcmonitou of the fate sc soon to overtake him, but it is certainly a queer coinci dence that he should have written on the fly leaf of a copy of Tom Paine’s “Age of Reason,” which he had with him in hi3 state room: “If I go down with this boat to-night, I should be ashamed to have this book found with me; were it not that I read it to refute its doctrines.” —Mr. Gladstone entered Parliament at 20, a year after leaving the university. Two years later Sir Robert Peel madehim a lord of the treasury, and within a year under secretary of state for the colonies. Lord Beaconsfield did not make his way into the House of Commons until he was 32. Of Mr. Gladstone’s leading col leagues, Mr. Childers aud Mr. Bright en tered the House of Commons at 32, and the Marquis of Hartington at 24. Of for mer leaders, Mr. Pitt entered at 21, and Mr. Fox was returned at 19, two years be fore he could be received in the House. —Haus Growyost, a worthy German farmer, who has been a life-long resident of Berks county, Pennsylvania, has a shrewish wife, who has long rendered life anything but a coudf of roses. One day not long ago she, in a fit of pique, picked up her duds and left him, vowing never to come back. The news went around among the neighbors, and at night several of them went to condole with Hans.

She •has shust come back! ,r “Historical Sense.”—The New York Nation, speaking of -the Caesarean opera tion which failed at Chicago, says, among other things, that the “historical sense was strong enough in the convention to compel the adoption of a civil service plank when introduced independently of the committee on resolutions, and after their almost unanimous agreement to pocket it- Tiiis was one of the chief epi sodes, enlivenbd as it was hy the candid exclamation of Delegate Flanagan, (late Senator Flanagarfj of Flanagan’s Mill’s P.

The hulk of it, as usual, comes from Great Britain, but we notice no inconsiderable quanti ties of old rails, scrap iron, etc., from ports on the continent, including Stock holm, Antwerp, Stettin, Pillau, Caen, Bilbos, etc. In fact the old world appears to have been absolutely ransacked some ninety days ago for iron of every descrip tion to supply a demand from America which has been long since satisfied. These fresh arrivals, in the present condition of the market, it is superfluous to say, are not calculated to inspire holders of stocks desirous of selling, with a feeling of par ticular satisfaction. -Ex-Senator Bayard was 81 years of age at the time of his death, which has been conlrarv, he would he beaten in at least two of them.
