Hi?* (Kewgrn $£eeklg CfcUgpcspl? Jmxetutl $e M*«surog*r» ^tltgrafl nab Jflwitgar ~ FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 86,1880. Jons Buight, despite of all his Qua ger antececcuts, win beheld a fortnight ago moved to tears by Modjeska's imper sonation of Mary Stuart at the Court Theatre, London. In the last agricultural returns of Great Britain the growth of woods and forests is shown to be going on very fast, and In the last five years has increased by half a million acres. The great German General YonMoltke readied bis 81st birthday on the 20th of October. lie received on the occasion a most magnanimous congratulatory tele gram from the Emperor of Austria. After the death of Conrad Seitz, at Monroe, Ala., this telegram was received from Ella Dorsey, his afilanccd wife: “De lay funeral two days, I will be ready for burial with him.” She kept her word by committing suicide. A woman at Columbus, Ohio, left dish ol concentrated lye where her baby drank some of it. During the several hours that the little one survived in agony, the mother sat motionless, with her hands over her face, and when it was dead she arose from her chair a hopeless maniac. Little Freddie Balden of San Antonio, Texas, stole some cake from the pantry, and was sitting on a fence eating it, when a stroke of lightning knocked him off. lie bad been told by his mother that God would punish him if he misbehaved, and he is now a firm believer In her doctrine, The Allan line has decided that Bos ton shall be the winter port for its mail steamers, which, however, will call at Halifax both going and coming. In the spring this line is to bo reinforced with several uew vessels with all the newest improvements. The Second Census of St. Louis.— The second enumeration of the population of St. Louis, which was ordered because of the inteuso local dissatisfaction with the results of tlio first, shows a variation of only 5,00!) in tho figures. It leaves the city with only 333,000 inhabitants instead of tbe half million the} had hoped for. Another Visit fl^.u King Kala- SAHA.—King Kalakaua of Ha wai i, accord, ing to a Honolulu letter to the San Fran cisco Bulletin, desires to leave on an ex- tcudedtour to the United States and Europe, and may start in tho November steamer If his ministers shall decide that the step is a desirable oue. He will be accompanied by Col. Judd, his chamber- lain, and one or two personal friends, and proposes to travel veiy quietly. A report is current, say3 a Washing ton dispatch to the Baltimore Sun, but not much credited, that Senator David Davis has tired of senatorial honors, aud w ishes to remount tho bench. The report is to the effect that he will resign his senatorship if reappointed to the bench. If such an arrangement could be carried out, it would give tbe Bcpublicaus control of the Senate, as Davis uniformly voted with the Democrats, and his successor would be a Republican. It looks now as if Gen. Garfield would liavofourSuprcmo Court vacancies at bis disposal during lus term ofoflicc. AXew Wat of Treating the In sane.—The Philadelphia Record says Scotch asylums arc the most perfect. They arc rows of cottages instead of great stone prisons. All forms of restraint are totally abolished. The inmates are em ployed and amused as if they were ration al beings, and in visiting them it is hard toicallze that one is in an insane asylum. No windows are barred or doors locked. Patients are free from all visible restraint, but arc watched closely by attendants, and only few escapes are reported. The results of such a system are so encourag ing that it is difficult to see why it is not introduced into Ibis country. THE OKA SEAL ASSEMBLY. Atlanta, November 17.

A THRILLING BACK. new a Georgia Ox cart Put a ■all- road Time-Table to Blntli. The Columbus Enquirer says: Just as tbe the 5:35 p. m. eastward- bound fast-mail train was steaming out of Opelika, a hackcontainingthree Irish gen tieracn drove up to the depot of the West ern railroad only to be told that tbe train that they were iu searcli of was that just behind tlie curve. Business of tlie most pressing nature demanded their presence in Columbus at 8 o’clock. Tbe back which bad brought them to tbe depot had left, so nothing remained for them to hire but a four-ox team, tbe animals of which were helping tbeir driver to finish a hand ful of sugar-corn fodder aud a pone of corn-bread. “Five dollats,” said one, Mr. Collins, “to carry me to Columbus.” “Five dollars more,” said another, Mr. Cooney, “to carry us there against 8 o’clock.’* “Five dollars more,” said the third, Mr. Bruton, “to get la ahead of the train.” So much money to be made, all in two hours and twenty minutes, set tho driver crazy. JleJookedat his team for a mo ment and then at the 'thirty miles which lay between him and Columbus, aud then at the probable ' aud partly possible $15 to be made iu fulfilling tbe gentle men’s desires. “l’se yer man, boss,” be said, ami crack ing Iris rawhide whip, lie mounted his cart aud started on lib journey. The first mile was made in slow time,but after that they wanned up, aniL in au hour they had caught up with tlio train on the east side of Salem. Tbe darkness ot the evening prevented the passengers ontlie train from seeing the race; but the train, with its red light aud fiery furnace, was distinctly visi ble' to the ox-cart passengers as they whirled over the wagon road tbat lay alongside the railroad, and they were more and more delighted as they saw the distance increasing between them. At Smith's Station tho mail train was entire ly lost sight of, and in two hours from the time the train left Opelika the rattle of the wheels inignt be heard as it rolled over the upper bridge into Columbus. “Boys,” said Collins, a* soon as they had domiciled at a hotel, “we have beaten the train by twenty minutes; let us go to tbo depot and see it creeping in.” What Do Novels Teach? It has been claimed by one of tlie ebief novelists of tbe day, we think Mr. Trol lope, who certainly has- a right to be heard on the subject, that novels teach people, especially young people, how to talk, and have had a distinct infiuenco la shaping tbe stream—not a very brilliant one—of English conversation. Perhaps this is a rattier strong statement, and it would be more true to say that English novels influence English conversation as tin: Timex leads popular opinion, by divid ing and echoing it—occasionally with, a clever semblance of forestalling and orig inating. It is somewhat curious, by tho way, when we come to think of it, and by no means complimentary to the novelists, that they, as we have just said, do so lit tle to guide orhelp those who may have complications of life to go through v»ry similar to to tho complications which form tlie subjects ot modern romance. This is question which writers of fiction would do well to ponder. Who has been helped through one of these difficulties by the txamplc of the last study of life which even the most potent of contemporary, ma- giciaus has set before him? Perhaps tho reason is that a scarcely appreciable por tion ot humanity are those wbo are trou bled by the special problems which tbe novelist prefers to Investigate ahd fathom. For example, there are curiously few big amists in good society, yet bigamy is per haps more popular titan any oilier subject with novelists. And few of us, after all, very few, make eccentric wills, which are still more largely used. As for the ouo grand problem of which all tbe novels are full, which is how to get ourselves beloved aud married, tbat, it is proverbial, is a question in which nobody will take any advice or profit by any example. Here human nature always feels its situation unique aud its circumstances unexampled. It there ever was a silly maiden like Lydia Languish in real life, demanding to be wooed fantastically and mysteriously; to be mn away with mini flattered by clandes tine vows, in imitation of lier fa vorite heroine, wo are very sure there never was any. who learned prudeneb and patience from the most ex emplary of fictitious womeu. No doubt it pleases the young couple who have to wait for each obiter through a lingering engagement to read of other? in the same circumstances; but we doubt iT man or woman ever got at l>iut for the speedier termination of their embarrassments through those of tbeir contemporaries in fiction. It is by uo means to be desired that novelists should give up the subject which is sacred to them, but ill which no body will ever be guided hy any experi ence save their own; yet it would be well for them iu other points to consider this deficiency; They are the recognized ex ponents of social life; it is their task to exhibit iueu ami women in the midst of all iu complications, and it is a reproaeli to them that they do nothing to help their fellow-creature who may have similar tri als to go through.—-Bfackwood. ■ ' The Railroads. There seems to bo some agitation in railroad circles, and wo give the follow ing extracts from our Atlanta contempo raries. The Constitution, ofthe ISth, says: By reference to the proceedings of yes terday, it'will he seen that a bill has been introduced in the House by tbe Macon and Brunswick Railroad Company for further time of purchase money. We learn that the application is based ou em barrassments produced by various suits brought by owners of the $300,000 of bonds tit tlie Federal courts, which suits may not be decided for some years, pend ing which the company cannot issue bonds or adopt other financial measures for raising money, in consequence of this cloud on their possession id tlie property. These bonds of $000,000 were issued by the bid Macon and Brunswick Railroad Company; were at one time acknowledged as valid, having received the indorsement ofthe State, but subsequently repudiated; the owners being unable to recover from the State, are endeavoring, now that the road lias passed into private hands, to hold the property liable.-The present com- pauy, with a desire to commence work on the Atlanta connection, &>k for indulgence in time of further payments. Tlie next installment is due 1st March, 1885, $250,- 000; the last of $075,009 on 1st March, 1884, witli 5 per cent, interest. Tbe MU asks au annual payment iu the way of a sinking fund, commencing June 1st, 1880, which will extinguish'the principal with in thirty years, (or in less time at the op tion ot the purchasers by affnll payment), the interest to be paid also annually with payment of the staking feud, amounting i n tlie aggregate in . round numbers to about $70,000 at tbat date—the State re taining her original lien in every res pect as at present proscribed by tbe terms ♦altl'iQ T Aed* «£ i Inasmuch as this applicatiop is based altogether on the immediate commence ment by tbe company of work on tb* road between Macon and Atlanta, a failure to do so being guarded hy stringent provi sions in the bill, tbe security of the State being tbus enhanced* then would seem to be no impropriety ju the. Legisla ture granting its assent to 'tbe terms pro posed. Tbe new company tMatfa be Earned in future tbe Atlanta, Macon aiM Brunswick Railway Company, Tbe Atlanta Post-Appeal of the 18th bos tbe following in reference to tbe State road; For some time past it bos been known tbat tliere was some sort of trouble among tbo lessees of tbe Western and Atlantic railroad about tbe lease and control ol tbe property. Tbe matter has at length cul- . infested so that a Poet-Appeal reporter , can lay the follow lug facts before the public: Las; spring it was reported that the Nashville and Chattanooga railroad hal purchased eight shares of tbe lease of tbe Western aud Atlantic railroad, and this was the inducement why tbe Louisville and Nashville railroad scooped up tbo Nashville and Chattanooga. JJJJJ Tbe truth is tbe eight shares were pur chased by Colonel William M. Wadley, president of the Central road. Tho Lou isville and Nashville railroad thought -.hat the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad hail effected a lease of the Central rail road, aud that, as a matter of course, tlie eight shares of the Western and Atlantic railroad would also go along with the lease of the Central. Such, however, was not tbe case. Col. Wadley owned the shares in his own uame. When the Louisville and Nashville purchased the Nashville aud Chattanooga, Col. Wadley went to New York and there ascertained that tbe shares of the lease of tbo Western aQd At lantic were of uo benefit to him or liis road, aud he came back home and sold out to Mr. C. 11. Pitiuizy, two shares; Mr, N. L. Hutchins, of Lawrenccvilie, ono share; Mr; Leonard Phinizy, of Augusta, one share; Mr. C. I. Brown, two shares; Mgjor Joseph B. Cummlug, of Augusta, one share. It is not remembered to whom he sold the otiier skaro; any way, these gentiemen are tho ones wbo have com bined in a request to Colonel W. C. Mor rill, the secretary and treasurer of the Western and Atlantic Railroad Company, for him to call a meeting of the share holders of the road to meet in Allauia next Wednesday, the 24lh. Their object in so doing-is to exainiue into the condl tion of the road and know wbat it is do ing. Thus far these gentlemen, although owning tne shares, Lave been debarred from voting their stock because the lease act requires that the original lessees shall cast the votes. A bill has be-n prepared to present to court praying for au hOunc- tiou to restrain the original lessees from voting tho stock. ‘ This will decide the question as to the legality ofthe lease act confining a certain number of the lessees to be citizens of Georgia; Of course, If tlio case is decided against tbe gentlemen, they w ill then fall back on tho Central railroad for tbe purchase money paid for tbe shores. They do not want tbe shares of tbe leosa if they cannot vote them aud control the road. The matter is in a pe culiar shape, aud will be watched with great interest, Railroad Rates. As has been intimated several times la tho columns of tho Telegraph and Messenger, the railroad question is com ing to the foont again. The public has been oo much engrossed in politics daring tho past few months that thoy have lost sight for the lime of everything else. As the arraogemeut of Mr. Garfield’s cabinet ^aqd tbe organization oi tbe next Congress belongs to auothsr section, wo of the South will have time to investigate our home affairs, aud look after tbe industries that make us prosperous in spite of all po litical chicanery and Radical bate. Noeuterpnsa Is more Important to our success than the transportation of our products, and the facility for intercom munication with each other. Our freight tariff in America, is less than in England and inEurope, yet the net revenues from this source are much greater iu America than elsewhere.,* ' At the same time the passenger rates are much less iu England than in Ameri ca, and especially in tbe South, yet the revenues from this source is greatly in favor of our English cousins. We do not presume to dictate to our railroad mana gers, who have spent years in perfecting their knowledge upon- these questions, yet it would seom that the experience of English railroads demonstrates that low rates result in larger revenues. We are aware that density of population aud fertility of the country are prominent factors In determining just and equitable rates. We also are aware that there are difficulties to encounter yrholly unknown to ail but expcricuceJ railroad iueu. Nov-, erthelsss it is evident tbat the passenger tariff in our Southern country is too high. It amounts in some sections almost to prohibition. The. ticket system must be heavily burdened, if tbe Railway Ape reveals the truth. Tbe commissions and rebates are enormous, and it is said that it requires 15 per cent, of all through tickets to meet them. v. . This authority states that one road, on- three bundled miles iq length, paid last year to ticket ageuts, regular and ir regular, tho large sum of $100,000. If this enormous amount had been divided with the public, in low rates, tbe regular business of the road Wakild sot have been interfered with, and its revenues wonder fully increased. Tbe Louisville Courier-Journal rays; One eent a mile is profitable to a rail road company, provided, always, that it cau get sufficient business. The immi grant rate is less than two cents, aud tbcu there is a reduction of 25 per cent., which is paid to Europsau agents. What a rood wants is businoss enough to compel them to run mote trains with more cars to a train, and all the cars filled. This would be secured by a reduction in rates, as has been clearly demonstrated by tbe success ofthe summer excursions. Tbe road it already built; the machinery is iu opera tion, and the cost of camring additional passengers is almost too small to caten ate. if these arguments are of any weight in tne North they are doubly forcible in the South. The time lias come to Speak plain ly osi this subject, for it is of vital impor tance to our section. Rates range from three and a half in favored localities to five in others, which, under tho preseut condition of tilings, is simple extortion. We make the statement without any fear of contradiction, that no road lias' ever tried tbe experiment of reducing passen- rates without being thoroughly satisfied that low rate* were the most profitable. Tito New Orleans Times, another lead-, ing journal -in tlie South, also joins in calling attention to this subject. Indeed, there Is a public sentiment which is be coming festive under the present regime, aud asks for lower rates. The Times says: “A full volume of traffic possesses a thousand incidents of profit to the carrier, Which are wholly unknown iu conuection with a high tariff on a sluggish or repress ed movement of freight. Figs do not grow on thistles, even for the benefit of railroads. The railroad management is idiotic which does not cultivate its patron age as assiduously as the husbandman cultivates his crops. Put the fare down to three cents per mile.” Three cents a mile is a reasonable rate atpieoent; a country tiUuiy populated cannot expect charges to be as low as those, for instance, of New York Central, but three cents will be found much more profitable than tbe rate* which prevail at present. j It is highly important that affections of the throat, lungs or bronchial Lubes should be- chocked at once, and for. tills purpose nothing equals Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup.

The train from Macon was crowded with passengers, among them a large band of Western emigrants, wbo were making tbeir way to the orange grove* and soft climate of Florida. They embraced men, women and children of all ages, and bad tbe appearance of foreigners. We could not but wish that many thousands of such settlers would locate in our own Bute and help to reclaim and cultivate its worn lands and extensive forests. ALT. ABOUT THE MANUFACTURE Of TURTKNT1NX. On the train were several veteran tur pentine makers, originally from North Carolina and lower Virginia. They ex pressed themselves delighted with the flue forests and climate of Georgia and ore doing a profitable business. Strange to say, as yet very few Georgia negroes are in their employment. The eg- pfirteuced labor of the old North State is preferred. In most instances tbe indi vidual or company when their Caroliuq plantations are exhausted, purchase large tracts of iand iu Georgia, pack up their stills, gather tbe laborers, -loams and rolling stock of the form together, and transport the whole establishment to the future scone of tbeir operations. ^ The prices paid for land accessible to rail or water transportation vary from $1.00 to $160 per acre, accord ing to location.

The yield of crude turpen tine to the boxes, dipped and tended by one band Is about 300 barrels a year, worth usually $2.50 per barrel. Tbe la borers are “fouud” aud receive $18 per month each. Virgin dip rosin (tbat made from the first flow of tbe gum) sells from $2.50 to $1 per barrel, and common rosin at $1.30 to $2. THE YIELD OF STIBtTS. It requires five barrels of raw gnm to make one of spirits of turpentine. The cost of a still is from $400 to $1,000, vary ing with its capacity. The trees require to be carefotly cleared around once a year and the land burnt over, to prevent loeres - by tbo usual firing of the woods. As many as eight boxes bare been made in a single tree, which was four feet in diameter, but the average number rarely exceeds two to tho tree. It is estimated that about - . ONE-TENTH ofthe Georgia trees cease running after they have been boxed two years, though in North Carolina plantation* have been successfully worked for twenty years. Eacb year, however, witnesses a decline In tl|e quantity aud quality ol the flow of : [um, though for tho first few years tbe oss is quite gradual. Tlie timber of the exhausted forests can still- be converted into merchantable lumber. The barrels for spirits ire obtained from New York and Baltimore, and cost, de livered, Irom $1.75 to $2 each. Those that are used for rosin arc made on the spot of pine slaves, hooped with iron, at an ex pense of from eight and a half to twelve and a half cents per barrel. When land ’ is rented, tlie price usually paid Is from four to six dollars per thousand round trees. Tbe turpentine business in southern Georgia is rapidly increasing, and is destined to prove a source of great emolument to tha people of that section. • jesup. * *•'•' ‘ ■ We reached Jesup about 3:59 a. m., acid remained ovur at tlie Littlefield House 1101(1 the arrival of the Savannah train at 7 o’clock.
