FRIDAY, JULY 23,18S0.
—A Now York party of anglers 5s said
to liave paid $31,000 for a long lease,
amounting almost to a purchase, of
Canada salmon stream.
—The father of Mrs. Tom Thumb died
lately, at Middleboro, Massachusetts. He
was of medium stature.
—Philalelphia boys are fined $10 for
tying a tin pan to a dog’s tail, and the fun
is not regarded as worth the cost.
—The Sultan of Zanzibar, weary of the
mere work of reigning Prince, has be
come a business man. lie has bought
British steamship and is running it at
cheap rates, for passengers and cargo be
tween Zanzibar and Bombay.
—The area of the unsurvoyed land in
the United States, including Alasta, ex
ceeds the area of lands surveyed and
placed in the market. The unsurveyed
portion of young Nebraska is greater than
the area qf England, Ireland and Scot
land combined.
—Governor McClellan is quoted as say
ing: “There is no question about the suc
cess of the Democratic party in New Jersey
next November. With the Democratic
party it is only a question of the majority,
which will probably be between 10,000
and 15,000.
—Governor Wiltz, of Louisiana, has re
covered h ! s health in the Rocky moun
tains. ne says that the South wants
solid Union, because her prosperity de
pends upon the North. He adds that
General Grant would have been harder to
be beaten by Hancock than any other
man.
Alabama Chops.—Numerous farmers
from different parts of the county were in
the city yesterday, says the Montgomery
Advertiser of Sunday. They report that
their cotton crops, as a rule, are doing
well and promise a good yield, but that
their corn has been cut short by the
drouth. In some places not more than a
third of a crop will be made.
Costly Bridges.—The aggregate cost
of the several bridges that span the Mis
sissippi river from St. Louis to St. Paul
has been $20,573,000, ranging from $120,-
000 for the bridge at Prairie du Chien to
$11,573,000 for that at St. Louis. The
annual tolls upon the merchandise cross
ing the river on these bridges is officially
stated to amount to $2,603,725, or nearly
10 j per cent, upon the original cost.
—A well near Brandon, Vermont, for
ty-two feet deep, freezes solid in winter,
and contains ice the year round, while one
hundred rods away, in a gravel pit, is a
spot which never freezes, and which some
times sends up a cloud of steam. Prof.
Hitchcock thinks there are currents of air
passing through a stratum of gravel
about fourteen feet down which cause the
frost.
—A firm of Scotch, shipbuilders have
established themselves at Shanghai, and
are turning out iron steamers of the lar
gest size. All of their 1,109 workmen are
Chinese, who labor for a few cents each
per day. Notwithstanding nearly all the
raw material used in those yards has to
cross oceans, nowhere in the world can a
ship be built more cheaply. The London
Times sees in this fact something serious
ly ominous to the shipwrights on the
Clyde and the Tyne.
—The Sioux have just held their an
nual sun dance in Dakota, and the usual
scenes of cruelty were enacted. One
young warrior held out for fifty-six hours,
hanging all that time by a stick run
through the flesh of the back, but fainted
before the flesh gave way. He was so
grieved over his failure that he tried to
kill himself. The women cut the cars off
the pappooscs, and shaved their own nails
up to the joints of the fingers.
—General Sherman, on Ids return to
civilization and a telegraph station in the
northwest, declined to be interviewed in
regard to his correspondence at any time
with General Hancock, but he stated em
phatically that he had no recollection of
ever hearing anything from General Han
cock about taking orders from Mr. Tilden,
or, indeed, anything at all like the stoiies
which have been printed and published
about his correspondence with General
Hancock.
—The London Times, in an article on
America, says: “It is hard to Imagine
North America as tenanted by Spaniards
or Portuguese, or even permanently by
Frenchmen. Yet so it might have been.
Had it happened that the rule of the
Spaniard had been extended from Mexico
to Vermont, or that the rule of France
had overspread the area between Montreal
and New Orleans, the world would have
been infinitely poorer, and Spain or France
none the richer.”
—A Rochester lady who went to Avon
Springs with a picnic party found herself
in an unpleasant predicament. The party
were enjoying themselves sipping the wa
ters when a friend of the lady discovered
a remarkable change coming over the
features of her companion. Her face be
gan to assume a mottled appearance,
black and white. She was asked if she
was sick and replied in the negative, but
her face became so discolored that her
friends insisted on sending for a physician,
who, on examining his patient, smiled
and asked her what kind of paint she
used. The lady tartly replied that she
did not paint, but only used a powder.
The physician attributed the discolora
tion to the powder and it is supposed that
it contained some chemical that changed
color on contact with the sulphurous va
por of the spring.
—Senator Thurman addressed a meet
ing of the editors of the Ohio Democratic
weekly papers at Columbus Thursday.
He said the nominations made at Cincin
nati were strong and the ticket would be
elected. He regarded General Hancock
as not only an able military chieftain, but
a man who had shown, by orders and let
ters, that he was a statesman as well. He
was well entitled to be called the hero-
statesman, and he would give the country
an administration that would stand out
in the history of the country as one of the
soundest and most brilliant in its annals.
The Senator said the Democrats should
work during the campaign, not for the
purpose of reducing the Republican ma
jority merely, but with a view of carrying
the State. He believed it could be car
ried. He said a Republican victory in
Gubernatorial.
The Agony Will Soon be Over.
.•It begins to look like Governor Colquitt
will enter the convention on the first bal
lot with a decidei^majority of all the del
egates. Monday and Tuesday gave him
Meriwether, Jackson, Wilkes, Glascock,
Union and Baldwin, makiug a total addi
tion of twenty votes to his strength.
The same days’ primaries added four
votes from Harris county to the Harde
man column, and two for Lester from
Echols.
Washington county also held another
election, and by a heavy majority selected
Colquitt men. This will bring before the
convention two sets of delegates claiming
seats, and will furnish a case for the com
mittee on credentials.
Before this article appears in print be
tween forty and fifty additional counties
will have spoken through their primaries,
and their verdict will probably settle the
question whether or not Governor Col
quitt will be his owu successor.
We again counsel moderation, harmony
and, in its last aualysis, union, at any
sacrifice, in the ranks of the Democratic
party at this particular crisis. Great is
sues are at stake, and personal animosi
ties, prejudices and partialities should be
made to give way to the expressed will of
the people through their duly accredited
representatives.
Whoever then is the nominee of the Au
gust State convention should receive the
support of every patriotic Democrat in
Georgia. Personal considerations should
not be permitted to conflict with principle
and public duty.
Germain to these views we append the
following editorial from the Rome Cou
rier :
A word of caution to Democrats will
not be thought inappropriate, we hope,
just at this juncture. The opposition to
Gov. Colijuitt’s re-nomination lias mani
fested itself in diilereut ways throughout
the State, and one is by such abuse of
Gov. Colquitt as has been denominated
slander, and, so far as we know, rightfully
so called. This has been met with hot
words by his friends, and even Gov. Col
quitt himself has been so aroused by it as
to lay himself liable to the charge by the
captious of holding everybody as his “en
emy” who opposes liis reuoiuination. This
is all wrong, whether looked at as a po
litical maneuver or as a moral act. We
verily believe that the men who ingen
iously try to blacken the character of
Gov. Colquitt do not believe him to be
guilty of any intentional wrong.
There is a class of Democrats—straight-
outs—in the State whose first choice for
chief magistrate Gov. Colquitt never has
been. Such men do not think that the
times demand their foregoing their right to
oppose his nomination; but if Gov. Col
quitt is nominated will support him as
readily and as energetically as his warm
est partisans. We hope that milder views
will be entertained and calm counsel will
prevail, and that every Democrat will
yield obedience to the will of the party as
expressed through this convention at At
lanta on the 4th of August.
Arthur's Letter of Acceptance.
New York, July 19.—Gen. Arthur,
Republican candidate for the vice-presi
dency, ha9 written a letter to Hon. Geo.
F. Hoar, accepting the nomination. In
it he says;
“The authority of the national govern
ment to preserve from fraud elec, ions at
which its_ own officers are chosen is the
chief point on which the two parties are
plainly and intensely opposed. The acts
of Congress for ten years have, in New
York and elsewhere, done much to curb
the violence and wrong to which the bal
lot and count have been again and again
subjected, sometimes despoiling great
cities—sometimes stifling the voice of a
whole State—often seating not only in
Congress, but on the bench and in legisla
tures, numbers of men never chosen by
the people. The Democratic party since
gaining possession of the two houses of
Congress has made these just laws an
object of bitter and ceaseless assault, and
despite all resistance has hedged them
with restrictions cunningly contrived to
baffle and paralyze them. The Republi
can party has strongly approved the stern
refusal of the executive to suffer the
overthrow of statutes believed to be salu
tary and just. It has always insisted and
now insists that the government of the
United States of America is empowered
and is in duty bound to effectively protect
elections denoted by the constitution as
national. It is a suggestive and startling
fact that the increased power derived from
the enfranchisement of the race now de
nied its share in governing the country—
and which is wielded by those who sought
to overthrow the government—is now the
sole reliance to defeat the parly which
represented the sovereignty and national
ity of the American people in the greatest
crisis of our history. Republicans cherish
none of the resentment which may have
animated them during the actual conflict
of arms. They long for a full and real
reconciliation between the sections which
were needlessly and lamentably at strife..
They sincerely offer the hand of good will,
but they ask in return a pledge of
good faith. They deeply feel that the
jarly whose career is so illustrious
great and patriotic achievements
will not fulfill its destiny until peace and
prosperity are established in all the laud,
nor until liberty of thought, conscience
and action and equality of opportunity
shall be not merely cold formalities of the
statutes, but living birthrights jwhich the
humble may confidently claim and the
powerful dare not deny.”
He endorses the civil service resolution
and resumption policy; refers to the ques
tions of education, tariff, internal im
provements and the improvement of wa
ter courses, aad, in conclusion, says:
“There is danger in iutrustiug the con
trol of the whole law-making power of
the government to the party which has in
almost every Southern State repudiated
obligations quite as sacred as those to
which the faith of the nation now stands
pledged.”
A $20,000,000 Loan.
Louisville, July 18.—Tho Courier-
Journal announces this morning that the
Louisville and Nashville railroad has
negotiated through Drexel, Morgan &
Co. with the Barings of London for the
sale of $20,000,000 of their bonds, having
fifty years to run, at six per cent. Ten
million dollars of this amount is intended
to take up and retire all bonds now out
standing under its several existing rnort-

Shocking Accident.
Jersey City, July 21.—At five o’clock
this morning a caisson surrounding a
deep well leading to the entrance of the
Hudson river tunnel,in course of construc
tion at the foot of Sixteenth street in this
city, caved in, carrying with it an immense
quantity of earth. Twenty-one men
were buried. Seven were soon after ta
ken out alive, and fourteen remained un
derneath. The water flowed in rapidly
from the river, and steam fire engines
were s-t to work to, if possible, save those
who might still be alivo from drowning.
Ilie'workmen resided in the vicinity of
the tunnel, aud a very large and excited
crowd of persons soon congregated.
The night gang of thirty men, including
Assistant Superintendent Woodward and
two firemen, entered the shaft at mid
night, the hours of work lor this gang
being from 12 to 8 o’clock. The depth of
the shaft is G3 feet, and while most of the
men were employed at the bottom of the
shaft, about one-third of the gang was en
gaged on tlie-brick wall of the arch 25 feet
higher. It was the latter squad, who were
all bricklayers, that escaped, except two.
The main arch of the tunnel runs out
from the shaft a distance of about thirty
feet, when it opens into two distinct arches
that are to form the tunnel. Through
some negligence of the men, it is sup-
losed the air lock was not properly ad-
usted when the process of shifting com
menced. The brick wall connecting the
two arches gave way and the water
rushed into the cave. The superintendent
thinks the air in the tuunel must have es
caped tiirough the silt. He has put
gang of a hundred men at work to dig a
new passage to the tunnel, but they will
not be able to reach there in less than
three days.
The following is the official report of the
Hudson River Tunnel Company, through
its engineers, Messrs. Speilman and Brush,
relating to the accident to the Hudson
river tunnel, which occurred at the foot of
Fifteenth street, Jersey City: This morn
ing about 4:30 o’clock, while the men were
changing shafts, that portion of the iron
roof adjoining the shaft of the connecting
chambers between the two tunnels and
sinking shaft, fell in. Twenty-eight men
were in the tunnel at the time, of whom
eight escaped tiirough the air lock, and
twenty were killed.
The accident occurred at the connection
of the iron plates with the brick wall
of the working shaft, which during the
changing of the shafts was probably not
watched by tbe men as closely as it should
have been aud the compressed air was al
lowed to escape.
The compressed air is relied upon to
assist in supporting the roof, which was
also sustained by strong timber bracing
and the escape o*' air lias always been pre
vented by stopping any leaks with waste
silt.
As the roof fell in the plate closed the
door of the air lock into the tuunel and
the water rushing in rapidly cut oft the es
cape of the twenty men who were killed.
The tmilding of this connecting cham
ber, though a difficult piece of work, pro
gressed until now. The roof was all in
position and securely bolted. A connec
tion of iron plates with the shaft was be
ing made at tbe time of tbe accident. The
work will be prosecuted night and day
with all the men that can be advantage
ously employed until tho bodios are re
covered, which will probably take about
three days. The accident will probably
delay the work for three weeks.
The following statement was made by
one of the men who escaped: After eight
men had escaped, one man, in trying to
pass tiirough the door leading from the
air lock into a temporary chamber of the
tunnel, was jammed in the doorway, and,
despite the efforts of those ahead, could not
be brought out, as the door closed upon
him and held him fast. Fcter Woodland,
assistant superintendent, told the men to
try and get out, and when the ninth man
was fastened in the doorway called out to
those who had escaped, telling them to
hurry and try and get assistance to help
the rest and himself who were left be
hind. He refused to leave himself, saying
he would stay and make every effort to
;ct the rest out, and if it were not possi
ble, that those who were escaping must
try to get the rest and biinseif out alive if
possible.
Almost all of those who were killed, as
well as those saved, resided in Jersey
City. The men who were rescued did not
reach the surface a moment too soon, for
the water rushed after them with amaz
ing rapidity, till it reached a level within
fire feet of tho top of the shaft. The sur
vivors were so bewildered that they
seemed to lose ail presence of mind even
if assistance could have been rendered to
the poor fellows in the pit.
Nearly all the men employed in the
tunnel lived in proximity to the works on
Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth
streets, and their friends and relatives
rushed to the place in a most excited
frame of mind. The news of the disaster
spread like wildfire through the surround
ing cities. From all points immense
crowds thronged to tho scene of the ca
lamity. About the fatal excavation awe
stricken spectators stood. A cordon of
police officers was stationed about the
shed and engine room to prevent any in
terference with the laborers at work to
recover the bodies.
Through the broken windows of tho
shedhouse the faces of distracted wives,
mothers and children were seen with an
guish, for they sought iu vain for forms
that would never be seen again alive.

rescued in the waste lock, gave a reporter
the following account of his narrow es

Colored Convention.
Springfield, III., July 21.—The first
State convention of colored men of Illi
nois met at the State house yesterday, 130
delegates being present from different
parts of the State. John G. Jones, of
Chicago, was chosen temporary chairman
and subsequently elected permanent chair
man.
A committee on resolutions was ap
pointed, and reported a set of resolutions,
among which are the following:
Besotted, That as colored men who
have emerged from a condition of slavery
to enfranchised citizens through the agen
cy of the Republican party, and all the
rights and privileges exercised and enjoyed
have been secured by Republican legisla
tion, independent of acquiescence aud
support from the Democratic party, we
hereby reaffirm our devotion to said party
and pledge it our hearty and unanimous
support in the present campaign.
Besotted, That we recognize in the can
didates of tne Republican party, national
and State, that statesmanship and patriot
ism which are so essential in men who
are called upoii to discharge such high
and important functions; that their ser
vices in time of peace, as well as war, are
such as to commend them to our nation
al defenders and protectors irrespective of
party; and where w it has been charged
and currently reported that tills conven
tion has been called in the interest of the
Democratic party, therelore
Ilc30lted, That we disclaim any inten
tion or purpose to give aid or comfort to
Democracy, either by thought, deed or ac
tion. But, on the contrary, we recognize
iu it a life-long enemy to the negro—
seeking while in power to perpetuate ids
dejection, and since, out of power, to hin
der and retard his elevation. As it has
not yet exhibited tliat repentance which
inspires confidence in parties as well as
individuals, we will continue to watch it
with suspicion, aud avoid it as deadly poi
son.
In the evening the convention was ad
dressed by Governor Cullom aud others.

London, July 21.—A Berlin corre
spondent of the Times, discussing Empe

says: “It may he stated that already the
Cathaiics are begiuning to recognize tbe
sincere desire of the government for peace.
A)1 reports from Silesia, the Rhine prov
inces and Westphalia, announce that the
people are very well satisfied with the
measures of the government, for they
hope soon again to hare divine service in
their churches. The leaders of the Centre
party liave, therefore, been obliged to
cease tbeir attempts to agitate the people
and quit their attacks upon the govern
ment. The last meeting of the Catho
lics, arranged by the heads
of the Ultramontane Propaganda
at Cologne, was distinguished by a mod
eration almost unknown during the last
few years. The meeting declared its firm
conviction that the whole of the May-laws
should be abolished and that the govern
ment should be able to rely periectly on
the support of the Vatican and the Centre
party, if they are willing to restore peace
and preserve the iualienable rights of the
church.
All the speeches were very conciliatory
and all offensive expressions calculated to
offend the government were carefully
avoided. It was at first proposed to hold
a meeting of the national Liberals, but tbe
proposition was not regarded as apropos,
as many differences will probably arise
again.

That Spanish Insult.
Washington, July 21 The state de
partment is in receipt of information that
the vessel which recently fired upon two
American schooners in Cuban waters was
the Cauto, a small screw steamer belong
ing to the Spanish navy. No formal pre
sentation of the case will be made to the
Spanish government until the report of
Admiral SVyman, who was yesterday or
dered with the Tennessee to 'Havana, lias
been received. Though the Spanish au
thorities have thus far denied that
the firing was done by any
vessel of tho Spanish navy, As
sistant Secretary Hay is of the opin
ion that such denial was based upon the
fact that neither of the previous reports
of the affair correctly stated tho name of
the offending vessel. He now thinks the
fact of the firing and the identity of the
vessel cau be fully established, and that
the Spanish authorities will set up in jus
tification a claim they have always made
of their right to fire upon or detain sus
picious vessels within two marine leagues
of their shores. As onr government ha3
always resisted this claim there is no rea
son to suppose any departure will be
made in the present case from the usual
policy. It is believed the whole matter
will be discussed in the cabinet meeting
on Friday next.
Fast Mail Service.
Washington, July 21.—Congress, at
its last session, appropriated $350,000 for
special mail service on railroads, during
the current fiscal year, July 1st, 1SS0, to
June 30th, 1S8I. The post-office depart
ment has recently perfected arrangements
which were put in operation July 1st, se
curing additional fast mail service between
New York and other large Eastern cities
and Pittsburg, Chicago, Cincinnati, Indl
anapolis, St. Louis aud intermediate
points.
It is the intention of the department to
endeavor to perfect arrangements with
Southern railroads with a view to extend
ing the fast mail system from New York,
via Washington, along the coast to Jack
sonville, Fla., and from Washington, via
Lynchburg and Atlanta, to New Orleans.
These branches of the fast system, it is
expected at the department, will be put
in operation within a month or two.

London, July 21 A Paris dispatch to
the Times says tiie minister of finance has
published a list of the reduction of taxes
since 1S72, stiowing a reduction of 806,-
000f., more than one-half of which was
taken off in 1879. If the reduction con
tinues at this year’s rate the remaining
51S,000,000f. of the increase of taxation
entailed by the war will be cleared off in

London, July 21.—Tho Times, in an
editorial on the failure of the Porte to
make the concessions agreed upon to
Greece and Montenegro, says this repre
sents only ono side of the matter. The
Turks complain that their right to occupy
the land and sea frontiers oT East Roume
lia remains a dead letter; the promised
destruction of Bulgarian fortresses on the
Danube has scarcely begun; the tributes
of Bulgaria and East Roumelia remain
unpaid; the repatriation of despoiled and
exiled Mussulmans of Bulgaria and East
Roumelia is still delayed; an undisguised
agitation set afoot in East Roumelia for
a union with Bulgaria, in defiance of the
treaty of Berlin, is fostered by the Bulga
rian government and people, and the soul
of the propaganda is Col. Tseretoleff, a'
former minister of East Roumelia, and
now the Russian consul at Philippopolis.
Arms and munitions are imported through
the port of Bottrgas.
The Turks believe that when the oppor
tunity offers an attempt will be made, by
violence, to set aside tho treaty of Berlin
and reconstruct tiie great Bulgaria of the.
treaty of San Stefano. The English gov
ernment, whatever its political color, can
hare no sympathy with an intolerant de
nial of equal rights to Moliamedans. The
Turks have interests that must be pro
tected, as well as obligations that must be
discharged, under the treaty of Berlin, and
our own government, not less than others,
must recognize the necessity of insisting
that every part ol that treaty must bo car
ried out.
We have reason to believe that the
Austrian ambassador at Constantinople
lias been instructed to inform tbe Porte
that Austria is determined ttiat the decis
ions of the conference shall be enforced.
At the same time the ambassador will in
timate that Austria considers it in
dispensable that the provisions of the
treaty shall he executed on both sides,
and that his government will urge upon
those concerned the obligation of keeping
the provisions exacted fon the security of
Turkish interests. In this policy Ger
many is in close accord with Austria, hut
their accord tends to strengthen, not weak
en, European concert. Austria and Ger
many are convinced that the time has
come when to obviate a renewal of dis
turbances In the East, it becomes their
duty, as signatories of the treaty of Ber
lin, to demand that all engagements of
that instrument shall be carried out.
The advantage of such a course is not
inconsiderable. The Turks will see that

Blount In Laurens.
Close observers of the political signs of
the times have for several years seen that
the hold which the representative of the
sixth district has on his constituency is
closely akin to that possessed by Mr.
Stephens in the eighth. Persons are oc
casionally found who think Mr. Blount
aud Mr. Stephens have held their places
long enough, and that it is
time for them to step down and
out. But there are two things in the
way. First, the men who have prestige
sufficient to oppose them, generally have
too much sagacity to allow the use of
their names in a hopeless contest. Sec
ond, the yeomanry of the couutry, the
bone aud sinew aud common sense of the
party—tiie men who do the voting—
cau never be carried against their favo
rites.
Ask a man why he votes for Blount,
and he will tell you of what he has done
for his secton; he will tell you the country
is passing through a great crisis, and it
will not do to s\vaphorse3 in crossing a
stream; he will tell you that the people
North keep their members in Congress for
life, aud it would he folly for the South
to endeavor to cope with these veteran
statesmen by electing inexperienced men
every few years; he will tell you that if
you send a new man it will take him six
or eight years to get where Mr. Blount
now stands, with all the chances against
his ever reaching tftere.
All this is cogent reasoning, and has
great force. But tli&-c is something else
behind the throne that has much to do
with Mr. Blount’s big majorities. It is
his magnetism, his personal popularity.
He has-touched the heart of the people
and they will stand by him to the end.
Men may differ about local and State poli
tics, and', in fact, about everything else;
but when it eomes to Blount, all is unity,
and every shoulder to tiie wheel.
Fourveais ago Mr. Blount’s strength
was put to the test in Laurens county by
the best brain force in the district, and he
won. Last Tuesday the most popular
local lawyer anywhere in this section,
could muster only 53 votes, agaiust253for
Blount. Aud if it had beeu known
throughout the county that Mr. Blount
had opposition, the majority would have
been proportionally greater.—Dublin
Post.
Side Remarks.
Lady Burdett-Coutts is going to marry
a member-of Parliament. This cuts off
Bill Burdette's last hope. The Burlington
Hatckeye must go.
When a distinguished Chinese official
arrives in England they tuck his pig-tail
under a heaver, put pantaloons upon him,
tie his cravat into obtuse angles, and call
him “Marquis.”
The government ought to require tho
sScretary to keep the naval guns on shore
for security, and let the sailors have the
old war tubs to wash their shirts in.
Senator Christiaucy’s son has applied to
be sent to the iuebriate asylum. He pre

There are some ailings which water

that man cau live on air and water

will be trying to get up a corner on those
elements.

ton; H. L. Dennard aud wife, Gen. Eli
Warren and wife, Mrs. J. W. Lathrop,
Mrs. S. Landrum aud Mrs. Goode, of

Miss Mamie Little, of Macon, who
took the part of Belshazzar’s queen in the
entertainment of the Macon amateurs
given in our city a few months since, is on
a visit to our city. She is the guest of
Mra. B. A. Thornton, of Wynnton. How
did the song go ? “Jlere’s to our beauti
ful queen,” was it not ?—Columbus En
quirer.
In Uriel.
—Tanner ought to, go to Cumberland.
He would require no watching there.
-Nearly all Georgia cities have been M
out of ice this season, but Macon has not *
suffered.
—A couple of young men went out to
fight a duel near the rock mill, but recon
sidered their decision and returned, having
not in combat met.
-A man was indicted in Atlanta for
using abusive language to a juror. This •
is a blow at the legal profession that calls
for special lesgislation
—Yesterday was a field day for several
of the gubernatorial candidates. The fight
waxed bitter in Houston, and although it
is thought that Hardeman won, it is not
certain at this writing.
—A dignified darkey, umbrella in one
hand, carpet-bag in the other and sur
mounted by a heaver, caught his tbe un
der a switch rod in front of the depot,
and made a spread eagle of himself on
the track. The crowd cheered as he
struck, hut with ail tiie stateliness of a
Roman Senator, he got up, adjusted his
effects, and went right on, without cast
ing a glance right or left.
—There should be an end put to the
amusements now indulged in by the dar
kies, viz., the practice of making a bathing
place of the culvert near the public read
which leads to Vineville, and in full view
of houses which closely surround the
spot. In this connection it may be proper
to remark, that our article on “swimming
in the river,” which appeared a few days
since, did not apply to that section which
lies at the foot of Second and First streets.
Bathing in the day time, at these points,
should by all means be interdicted.

-The royal journeys between England
and Scotland cost Queen Victoria nearly
j£S,000 a year. Two special trains are al
ways run, one of which conveys the
horses, carriages and servants.
You cannot expect your children to j
thrive when they are being destroyed by
worms. Give them a few doses of Shri-
ner’s Vermifuge and they wlil be restored
to health. 1 w
