THE GBAEBAL A88BHBLY. Atlanta, Nov. 3,'1880. The General Assembly met at the hour of ten this morning, aui was Called to or- p*ny 1 Mount of Olives is hinted at. Db. Graham, of Louisville; la Ms 07th •year, has goue on his regular annual hunt in the mountains. He says every au tumn since 1830 be has eateri venison of his own killing and cooking.

There’s no us’a raisin’ a row. ’Taint my fault Wliat you Want’sh earlier returns?” » , - u j I«/. .: Two Texas desperadoes agreed to fight with knives in a closed room at Fort watches Worth. They pat up their forfeit, and, as both had shown reckless daring In former afirays, it is believed they fully intended a deadly duel. They . were prevented by aryest. The OatervaloreRomtono tells its read ers that, notwithstanding the terrible trials under which the Irish are now suf fering, the faithful of Cashel, mindful of the needs of the HolySeeJiave contributed a sum of money equivalent to 60,000 francs for their Archbishop’s present to the Pope. “I would rather vote for a, long-eared donkey than for ydnj” said ah’ Indepen dent voter to a Galveston candidate. “Ob, come now, you ought not to allow' your self to be Influenced by family' ties,” re sponded the candidate; The j voter his been puzzling his head ever since to find out why the crowd laughed. A valuable heifer belonging to a far mer near Northallerton, in England, re cently broke its leg, and it had to be am putated. The animal has since been .fit ted with a wooden leg, on which It moves about with the utmost ease, which proves the absurdity of hastily ordering the de .etruction of animals that meet with such ’.accidents. "• ! | Recently Prof. Huxley said that ninety-nine men out of every hundred be came simply obstructive after 60 years old, and were not flexible enough to yield to the advance of new ideas. The world, he thought, would be benefited by any man who had taken part in science being strangled after 60. This maybe meant for Brother Buskin, who lately wrote to •Glasgow students that he loathed liberal ism. “A young lady, well known in Liver pool on account of her beauty,” says the London Truth, “was married last week. When the canon who was officiating read the words, 'love, honor, and obey,’ the young lady declined to repeat the last. Three times the canon paused for an echo, hut in vain. Then he went off with the service. But is this young lady married or not? What—ihould her disobedience lead to an interview with Sir James Han nen—will that eminent Judge rule on the subject?” New Yorkers, says the Sun of tlie3d, -who did not visit Printing’ House square last evening missed a notable i sight. It was no longer the familiar Square of the -daytime, but a surging human sea, and its voice was as the voice of many waters. In the brilliadt illumination of the elec tric lights, those thousands of upturned, intent, eager faces, varying in expression with every fresh bulletin, were a study for a painter or a philosopher. Mart Pyatt rejected John K. Arnold’s offer of marriage for a long time, at Kim berly, Pa., but he was persistent, and at length she consented. There was a great wedding, and the conple went off on a tour. After a week the bride returned to her home, declaring that she had no re collection of anything between her last refusal of Arnold and her awakening to And, to her great surprise and displeasure, that sjse was bis wife. She insisted that she was out of her mind during the in terval, and declines to Cven see her hus band. A taety o^ miners were snow bound •on Needle Mountain, Colorado. The drifts were high around their hut on every side, -and it became evident that, as their stock of provisions was small, they must quick ly dig their way out or starve to death. One was too ill to stir, and the others cast lots to determine who should stay with him. Food and fuel en n ugh for a week were left with the two men, and the others started on their desperate journey. The distance to the nearest settlement was only four miles, but they were five -days on the journey, and their sufferings were intense from both cold and hunger. It is uncertain yet whether the sick man and his companion survived. Mb. Tilden Voting.—At 1 o’clock yesterday, says the Stitt, Samuel J. Tilden left his home at 15 Gremercy Park, and walked unattended to the polling place in Fourth avenue. It was In a plumber’s shop, between Nineteenth and Twentieth streets. There was no throng at the polls, but the few that were there recognized Sir. Tilden, anil crowded around him as he stepped to the ballot boxes with a bunch of tickets In his hand. He un covered his head reverently and, as the inspector loudly asked him his name and residence, gave the requisite answer. ■‘•Tilden, S. J.,” shouted the inspector. The clerks looked ovei; their hooks, re ported that the name had been duly re gistered, and then the inspector unfolded the ballots and said loudly: “He votes all ■except the constitutional amendment.” Then Mr. Tilden put on his hat and slow ly walked homo alone. Fob Husbands Only.—A correspon dent pf the Baltimore Sun, writing from California says: A ciife for wife-whip-' ping was authorized by the last Legislature- of Nevada. The authorities of Austin, a raining town to that State, have erected a whipping-post to punish sbmmarily wretches who abuse Iheh- wives by blows. We wish it were practical to apply appro priate correction to the rio less unmanly- tyranny of unfeeling exaction and cruel words by which too many hnsbapds keep their wives in' never-ending torment. If man had the brain3 hi boasts he would speak ever kindly fo the mother of bis household, if it were only forseaflsli mo tives.

H.--D. D. Twiggs was placed in nomination, that gentleman arose in bis seat and In au ad dress'.replete with patriotism and good feeling retired from the contest. He spoke as follows: Gentlemen of the House of Represents lives: At the solicitation of warm person al friends, I consented to become a candi date for the speakership of this honorable body. I know from the earnestness and interest exhibited by the friends of the re spective candidates, thatthe contest would be a splendid one, but I have hoped (hat it would not be characterized by discord among ourselves. I certainly intended to conduct it in a spirit of firmness and honorable rivalry. Recently, however, I find that it has evoked a sentiment of bit terness which 1 earnestly deprecate and with which I have no sympathy what ever. The harmony of the Democratic party in Georgia is, in my judgment,"par amount to the consideration of any man’s ambition or the furtherance of any aspi rations. [Applause.] The intelligence has just been borne to us on electric wing* that disaster has befallen the Democratic hosts, who had marshalled their squad rons in this their greatest struggle for con stitutional government. It is therefore more necessary than ever that we should not only preserve and protect; the sover eignty and autonomy of our beloved State from the assaults of power and the encroachments of a centralized despotism, but that we should invoke and* encourage a spirit of concord and harmony among ourselves. ' • t ..... ... If we will cultivate and promote this object, standing as we do in the house that our fathers built, whose foundation is upon a rock, the storms and floods will beat upon it m vain. [Applause.] In consideration of these views, I have decided to withdraw from tins contest, and in doing so I earnestly invoke a spirit of harmony and good feeling in our ranks. [Applause.] Let us then devote ourselves to the best interest of onr grand old com monwealth, and she will move onward in the constellation of States to a higher de velopment of the proud mission to which she is called; the perpetuation of liberty regulated by the grand trinity of her polit ical faith— 1 “Justice, Wisdom and Modera tion.” [Applause.] In retiring, permit me to jretum my warm and sincere thafiks to those friends who have honored me with their zealous anil hearty support. [Applause.] rv • •„ election or speaker. Mr. Hutchins,- of Gwinnett, put the name of Horn A. Or Bacon in nomina tion. Mr.-Warren Maze, of Richmond, nomi nated Hon. H. D, D. Twiggs, of Rich mond. ‘STvOjd’ Mr. Twiggs rose, and in an eloquent and forcible .speech withdrew from the contest, basing bis action on the ground that at this time the integrity of the Dem ocratic party was of more importance than the personal ambition of any citizen, that the race between the several candidates had engendered feelings of a hostile char acter among their friends, and-that, there fore, in order to prevent any discord in tbe party, he would withdraw his name, with thanks to his friends for -their good leeling and support. There being no other candidate in the field, (he Hon. A. O. Bacon bad a walk over the course, and after a formal call of tbe roll, was declared duly> elected by the General Assembly to preside over them as their speaker during the present session. SPEAKER BACON was elected by a vote of 163, and on mo tion of Hr. Anderson, of Newton, was con ducted to the chair by Messrs. Anderson of Newton, Twiggs of Richmond and Hutchins of Gwinnett. Upon] taking the chair, Mr. Bacon made a brief address, thanking the House for the honor done him. Considerable feeling of a severely ran corous nature was developed by the race for speaker. - j i,; The election of Mr. Bacon wjas opposed openly by the Executive and his friends, who supported Judge H. D. D. Twiggs, of Richmond; but upon scanning the ground carefully they found that the op- ’wa; position could make no headway against Mr. Bacon’s popularity. A caucus in opposition to Mr. Bacon was held the night before the election, in which strong efforts were made to secure his defeat, but without success, as his election was assured before he ‘was nomi nated. Judge Twiggs withdrew assoonasnom- inaled, and Mr. Bacon went through tbe form of an election, receiving a unanimous vote. " ; The election or Mr. Bacon to this im portant post of duty, which he; has filled with such honor and dignity so many times, shows beyond a doubt that the confidence the representatives of the peo ple have always reposed in the Jiouor and impartiality ot your distinguished towns- jnanhas in no wise diminished. • We congratulate “the Speaker’.’on his renewed accession to honor and office. , ELEC r ION OF CLERK; Mr. Barrow, of Clarke, nominated for the office Hon.

If you would keep your watch clean you must be quite sure that the case f: s firmly, and never put it into any pocket but one made of leather. Those pockets which are lined with cloth, cotton, or cal ico, give, by the constant friction, a cer tain quantity of fluff, which enters most watches, even those the cases of which shut firmly. If the watch is not a “key less” one, the key should be small, in or der that we may feel the resistance ot the stop-work; then we can stop in time with out forcing anything. It is also necessary that the square of tiie key should corres- >oiid with that of tbe watch. If it be too arge, it may in a short time cause the wind-up square to suffer from undue wear anil tear, the rectifying of which is rather expensive. The bands of an ordinary watch can be turned backwards without much risk. It is, however, always better to move the hands forward to adjust your watch to correct time. A skillful watchmaker one day thus reasoned with a customer who com plained of bis watch: “You complained,” said he, “that your watch gains a minute a month. Well, then, you will congratu late yourself when you have heard me. You are aware that in your watch the balance, which’ is the regulator, makes' five oscillations every second, which is four hundred and- thirty-two thousand a lay;,so that your watch, exposed to all the vicissitudes which beat and cold occasion It, the varying' weight of the air and the shaking to which it is subjected, has not varied more thau a.

Slathers Johnson was the laziest miner in the camp but was looked up to as a great politician. Back in tbe States he hadbeei constable, overseer of highways, tax ool lector, school inspector, and so on, but yet his hankering was not satisfied. It was finally decided that Crowbar city be divided into eight wards, and that bach ward bo entitled to one alderman, while a mayor, treasurer, and clerk should be elected at large. There were about four huts or tents to a ward, with a constit'i ency oi from five to eight persons for each alderman. . >;■'( eauitoefefn “How shall we proceed to elect ?” bland ly inquired Slathers as he remounted the barrel. There was a dead silence for a minute, and then Raccoon Bill of the bloody sixth ward, threw his' hat on tbe ground, pulled his shooter and blandly inquired : ; “Ari that' any buzzard hero from my ward, who don’t think I’d make a howlin’ old alderman? If thari ar\ let him edge up thia way for about ten seconds.” No one edged and Raccoon Bill was declared tbe unanimous choice of the electors of his ward. Several others elects ed themselves m tbe same off-hand man- ner, and there was no.trouble until Blue Clay Smith said he thought he could rep resent the eighth ward about jui well as any other resident vulture. If not, why not ? Three resident vultures at once stepped forward to contest Ills election, anil there was a fbur-lianded fight which lasted ten minutes and decided the elec tion in favor of Cross-Eyed Turner, ot Ohio.

J. B. Gordon, a Chief Justice to fill the unexpired teim of Judge Hiram War ner, resigned, also a Chief Justice for tho six-year term beginning January 1,1881, au Associate Justice of tbe Supreme Court to fill the unexpired term of Judge Jack- son, endiDg January 1,1883, an Associate Justice to fill the unexpired term of Judge Logan E. Bleckley, expiring Januarv 15, 1885. Judges of the Superior Court are to be elected to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Judge Herschel V. Johnson in the Middle Circuit, term expiring January 1st, 1SS3; of the Coweta Cir cuit to fill tlie vacancy left by tho resig nation of the Hon. Hugh Buchanan, term expiring January 1st, 1881 ; of tho Chattahoochee Circuit left vacant by the resignation of Martin J. Crawford, term expiring January 1st, 1881; also judges of the Albany, Atlanta, Blue Ridge, Cherokee, Eastern, Western, Oconee, and Southwestern. Among the most prominent of tbe can didates for a seat upon the Supreme bench, is Hon. D. A. vason, of Dougher ty county. Judge Vason comes endorsed by tbe bar of his circuit, aud still further by his eminent character and personal honor and integrity. If it should so hap pen that the judicial robe should be laid upm the shoulders of this eloquent and accomplished gentleman and jurist, the State would secure a certainty and accu racy in the administration of her laws which is needed materially in.thb Just and able enforcement ot law. The contested election cases will come up for trial probably next week or the week after. The General Assembly is compcsed largely of new men who have either never represented the State before or who have been out of office for a long time. It is therefore hard to predict what will be tbe temper of the body oil general legislation. The most important matters to be con sidered will be the questions involved in the action of the railroad commissioners; the M. & B. extension; the furtherance of tlie noble work of Mr. Francis Fontaine in the immigrationschem'e'; the providing for a compilation of an official State his tory, and the election of law officers and a U.

Practi cally it ia often far otherwise. An ideal election, on anything like a large teals, Is.an impossibility. .

Then come ifoctored or forged returns. Not infrequently there is a rascally revision by returning boards that additionally falsifies the supposed popular, verdict. These considerations are qaeugh to show that the presumed end of getting at the will of the people is pot really attained. Our plan,- however, of ded.llng who shall hold tbe offices and what policies shall prevail is, with all its imprefectious and abuses, the best perhaps that could be devised.

A Nc.v York correspondent of the Cin cinnati Enquirer says; Iu one large dry goo.ls store I counted imopg the corsets eleven different kinds that were warraided to make women's bodies shapely without paiu. That prom ise was variously worded, but’ iu every case it was a -delusive snare. The waist cannot be squeezed without hurting. Whether the bones of a corset run per pendicular, horizontally or ditgonally, jjarebqtjnd to be t}ncogipr;«oie jf they condense the wearer too lutteh, the assertions of manufacturers to the contra ry notwithstanding. I wear 1 a corset, bear in miud, and therefore know whst I am talking about. There is no occasion just now, however, to raii^ cry on this subject, •' for tod tight corsets, are the exception. Some women are foolish enough to dangerously compress, their vitals for the sake of un natural slenderness, but fashion does not require-it. As they are now j generally worn, corsets are more a. comfort-than otherwise. Women with milch flesh asi their bones would not like.to do without them. The present evil practice in this direction is that, of forcibly flattening the bosom. Time was when roundness there was something to he proud . of, aud was artificially produced it nature hail not been bounteous; now flatness is considered de sirable, and is often attained by wearing corsets high, stiff and binding iu frout. That this foliy is perilous must be appa rent to every sensible person. In prose as Well as in poeliy, the female breast is susceptible, and will not bear hard usage. There is much * INGE^y£TY EXPENDED ON CORSETS. About no qjtlief. article of .dress is a fashionable wokmn rtnore finicky. That is why dealers are compelled to keep so many kinds in stock. But women who can afford it have their corsets made to order, often paying as high as $25 tor a plain, though carefully fitted, one. Those who demand Of their dress-makers that their bodices shall fit like aglove, without awriukle pr a strain, must consent to wear corsets always of the same size and shape. Otherwise, a perfect fit one time will [net be so at another. Many women are so soft and plhnt that they can be shaped by a corset to almost any desired figure; but having chosen a model, they must stick to it, or alter their dresses with every change^tff stays. Formerly, when skirts were voluminous, it did not matter what the corset was like below the waist line; but now, with skirts lying flat over the hips and abdomen, the outlines of the entire tfilnk ore of importance. This has led to the extension ot corsets downward, until women who are at all round are comnlonly encased from shoulder to leg. The corsets displayed iu the stores with their ribs of bone and metal, look’ like rows of ancient armor. Tbe length ening is a good thing, because it equalizes the pressure and prevents a girting in of the waist alone. Some of the corset3 made to order by really skillTul artists are wonderfully clever productions. They are constructed after tbe most careful and elaborate measurements, and with a view to improving the wearer’s figure. that urne.

Somewhere about the year 1780 a trav eling mill-wright, footsore, and with the broadest Northern Doric accent, stopped at Soho, the engine factory of Boulton A Watt, and asked for work.

There is no question that much suffering would lie spared caltle if they were not allowed to see each other slaughtered. Not easy is it to conceive the kind of torture they feel and cannot express. How observant are auimals is proved by a case which came under my own observation. Among the inmates of my house is a jackdaw, as lli-gTajned and vituperative a bird as ever accepted, under protest, human compaflionship and hu man- attention. ■ He prefers so distinctly sleeping in a cage where no enemy can as sail him while lie is off his guard that he iSallowed-tohave his own way in tlie mat ter. One day, while he was in 1 the cage, some dead pheasants, which had just ar rived in a hamper, were placed beside liim'. -His dread ef these was remarkable to witness.

A cricket ground is planned, so that there will be amuse ment for everybody. A kitchen garden covers three acres, and there are green houses, vineries, peach, Camilla, cucum ber and melon houses; and finally come a couple of three-stall stables, with six loose boxes, all most complete and spa cious, as well as the usual harness-room, coach-houses, a cottage for the coachman and bedrooms for the grooms.
