We learn from some of our farmers that tbe cold rainy weather, which we have been having for some time, is having a terrible effect upon stock. Cowa and *l»eep haTe commenced dying, and numbers can be seen in the woods. Should this weather continue two or throe weeks longer tbe death rate among stock, especially cows, will be greater than has been known in several years. CoLClinrs Enquirer. On Thanksgiving day a parly of gentlemen aero banting in Chattahoochee county when one of the gentlemen received a wound which may yet prove tenons. Mr. Cock Weems found a bird and shot at it, uot knowing that anyone was near, and the shot .took effect in tbe legs of Mr. Andrew Harp, who was only a short distance beyond. Tfcn wounds were dressed by Dr. Doug lass Ticfcnor. and while his injuries are very dangerous are not necessarily fatal. Aiusra Constitution: Mr. W. U.

Atlanta Phonograph: At the open ing of lb* session, tbe general talk was, that none bat administration candidates would stand any showing in the eUn-linn forjudges or solicitors. Results show that this was a mistake. Out of nineteen s> Jieitors elected, nine were opposed to Gov. Colquitt, and as many as three took .the stump against biro. We only mention this fact to show that there is a feeling of con ciliation as well as concession among tbe me & ben. A broad, liberal spirit seems to pervade the body, and we welcome it as a good omen. Augusta Mirror. A young geatle- mmu, white visiting Richelieu at tbe opera house, Friday night, was penning a piogratuine that contained an advertise ment of the Double Headed Woman.

Probably liial would appease tbe Colum- bustles.’ Ameijicus Recorder: A phase of hero ‘worship has developed, or rather cropped out, among tbe negroes of a certain portion of Dec county, which is singulafly pecu liar and at the same time very suggestive of an interesting chain of ethnological points. Lewis Barber, a colored preacher of tbe Baptist denomination, bad in bis charge a membership numbering perhaps three thousand, making up his four churches. lie was a typical specimen ol the negro clergy, and wielded almost an absolute power, body and soul, over bis large congregation, “ilrudder Barber’s” word was law and gospel unto bis follow- on. and none ever dared to question his au thority or dispute bis sway. Vehement, magnetic aid powerful, one swing from hit long arms and a chant from bis strangely musical voice, would set a hun dred sisters swaying their bodies to and fro, and as many brothers keeping time to (be weird rbylhm with bearing feet; in aw ful interest the sermon would "row, a medley of declamation and reeitaUco, un til me wild, deafening cry brings to a climax Us* ecstatic joy iu shouts and trances anti meanings. Last summer tbe preacher died, and "bis friends and fol lowers refused to be comforted. He was honored with burial ril*s beyond prece dent, and such a funeral was indeed “sel dom seen.” Tbe deeds and memory left by tbe good pasror were not sufficient for Lis members, and trot comforted with these they bare wet up a sort of graven image, so to speak, of Berber, which is placed above the pulpit -of his principal church. Tbe image itself is a work of tbe crudest art, made of white and black cotton doth, stuffed with straw and painted with charcoal To as unbi ased critic it looks more like a scarecrow wet up to frighten hawks, than a ything else; but a devout member informed tbe writer it was a very striking likeness of the deceased. We marveled somswbat at the strange thing, with another brother of (bis church, and asked him its object. He gave us to understand it was a remem brancer of tbe beloved deceased, and said, *‘although Brudder Barber is gone, we atilt has de shapes of him wbl os.” TaoMASvud.it Tunes: One of the boldest attempts a*, assassination occurred at tbe old Ivey ‘ place, eight miles from town, on Tuesday night, which has oc curred in this county for a long lime. Joe Ivey, a peaceable and well disposed col ored ma-i, has tbe place leased from W. D. Peacock, tbe owner, and is living in the old residence. On Tuesday night ' about 9 o'clock some one called at tbe sate. Joe responded by stepping to tbe door. The caller asked M.u to step to tbe gale. Ue detected an effort to change his vojee, and was thus put on his guard. Ue started towards the gate, though not in a dired course.

The Way cross Reporter has just dis covered that Way cross is in the centre of tbe circle, it being just three hours’ ride to Jacksonville, Fla-, just three to Savannah, and just three to Brunswick. The editor thinks bis town is destined to be tbe great rendezvous for Northern travel and pieasr- ure seekers. Dr. W. B. Folks is writing up tbe section iu a series of letters in the Reporter.

Afterwards be wav reconciled to his family and .-tiunied North; but years after, when be bad been Governor of New York, he made a pilgrimage to the scene of his early abois and love, but tbe lady had died young and Seward only found a grave which held his first and only ro mance. A terrible war, says the writer, might Lave been averted, if upon (he Congressional desk of bisi wbo hail gath ered ia bis bands tbe power of life and death had been placed a sprig of Acacia, with tbe words, “from tbe grave of the Margaret of your youth.” JJaixrbjdge Democrat: In view ofthE fact that we are to have tbe next annual meeting of the State agricultural society l.el-1 lit Bainbridge, it behooves tbe Decs* tur county farmers to attend the meetings 6t their local society sad arrange a fall programme for tbe reception and enter tainment of this important gathering of representative meu f-cm all parts of (Le State; which will he aa opportunity of exhibiting our hospitality and advcitisln~ our lands and vast agricultural resources, perhaps uot enjoyed again la a quarter of a century.

Athens Chronicle: The writer bad the pleasure of visiting tbe Athens Bobbin Mill recently, the only one In the Southern States. Tbe mill was established twenty- eight years ago, by Summey & Newton, and now ships goods all over tbe South. They now employ seven men and turn out one thousand bobbins per day, which do trat near supply ithe demand. Tbe present owner, Sir. John H. Newton, in tends at an early date the erection of a new building one hundred feet square, with a capacity of turning out 3,000 bob bins a day. With Mr. Newton’s knowl edge, application and untiring indnstry, he is bound to succeed, and not only bold his present territory, bat extend it every year. A few more meu like John H. Newton and R. L. Bloomfield would not only make Athens known in tbe State as a manufacturing town, but one of the leading cities of the South. Death or Col. Oliver C. Arnett. —Bainbridge Democrat: This gentle man died st his farm, two miles south of Bainbridge, hut Friday. He bad been ill for a long time, and his death was not unexpected. Colonel Arnett was one of the most patriotic and public-spirited citi-1 zens Decatur county ever had. Before the war be was wealthy. At tbe break ing out of tbe struggle be gave himself and his wealth to Lis country. He uni formed and equipped Captain George W. Lewis’ company, and as a token of grat- tude to him, tbe company named themselves tbe “Arnett Rifles.” Tbe command served gallantly through the war iu the thirty-first Georgia Regi men:, Gordon s Brigade, and was always tbe object of Col. AruclTs solicitude. Dur ing the war it is said that Cob Arnett con tributed more to tbe support of soldiers’ families than any other man in tbe coun ty. His corn-cribs and smoke-houses were alwavs open to relieve tbe necessities of those dear ones whose husbands and sons were afar off battling for Southern rights and Southern honor on tbe bloody fields of Virginia, Kentucky and Tennet- see. He was tlie ‘-Soldier’s Friend,” and his name was never mentioned on the march save with reverence or deep respect. Atlanta Pott-Appeal: The adjourn ment of tbe Legislature on next Friday is one of the most sensible things which that body cau do. There really does not seem to be any business for it to do— certainly uoce it will do, and its adjourn- saent will prevent mischief. As a general thing law-makers rlake too many laws. This applies to all States and not to Geor gia ia particular. There are large num bers of men wbo study up various “fat jobs” to put through the legislature, and th-.q frequently succeed in their designs, to tbe great detriment of the people gen erally. We are not sure bat every State would be better off if its Legislature did nut meet more than once in ten years. Rome Tribune: On Thursday last Messrs.

Monroe Adcertiser: A thief entered the court bouse ia Macon during court, and stole tbe judge’s hat. Whereupon Harry Edwards bays it’s a wonder they don’t steal the court .bouse.

By raising the crossing in tbe middle of the street higher than tbe ditch near tbe pavement, an aoenmnlatioti of wrier was caused. Yesterday a lady attempted to cross, where there shod Id bare been a bridge, and in attempting to jump across it her feet slipped, and down she came right into tbe middle of tbe mud bole. It was a pitiable sight! A nicely dressed and beautiful woman, floundering in a mud bole! Oh, ye street committee, bow eonld you be so cruel, and bow long will ye wait before you aiteud.lo this matter? Forsyth thieves are getting bold.

He has not been caught yet, but it is a pity but wbat be oc-uld be; and punished to tbe fullest extent. On Tuesday mgnt last some one entered Beckham & Banks’ hardware store and carried off about a hundred dollars’ worth of goods, consisting mainly of pistols, cut lery, and such like. They suppose they got tbe bolt of the front door up and opened it, as it was open and nothing bro ken. Two or three watches were taken and some 'razors. It was the night tbe circus was here, but Mr. B. does not think from tlie nature of the articles taken that it was a white man. lie thinks it was some one acquainted witb Use premises.

To my relief I descried au oasis, but alas! ; it turned cut to be a mirage. I could sec, as I thought, cascades, geysers, and gew gaws indescribable. When 1 complained to an Edomite of such a deceptive land, the untoward fellow treated me with con tumely. I was only saved from tbe puis sant blows of the nuisance, by the timely appearance of a chamois which leaped up from tbe foot of a pyramidal cypress, at which be fired his fusee. This perverse creature was so maddened at my escape that he committed felo-de-se. He was the protege of the king, and bad been for some time his employe in deciphering cru ciform inscriptions, aud may have been a Chaldean. Though cleanly dressed, he was not cieanly. Now seeking a recess by a stream filled with animalcules, I wrote an exquisite essay, drawing upon my fer tile brain, which I read each alternate day for a week, and then wrapped it up and placed it ia an alcove for safe-keeping.

Ifthat is a fact, please remit tbe money and oblige Mrs. G. Smith, per M. J. New.van Herald: A daring attempt at murder and robbery was made last Thurs day night at the store of W. S. Askew, six mifes from Newnan. Mr. John Les ter, tbe clerk, wbo sleeps at tbe store, hav- ing observed a couple of suspicious look ing negroes lurking around the store, bailed them, inquiring their business. Ob taining no response, he seemed a pistol and threatened to fire upon them, if they did not leave. Kusbing upon him, one of them commenced shooting at him. Ue returned the fire, and finally drove them away, several shots Laving l>eea exchang ed. isoon afterwards, while reeonnoiter- ing, lie beard them approaching in tlie darkness. Haiiingthem again,they rushed upon him. A number of shots were again exeban-ed. when finally the negroes rail away. It was a narrow escape for Lester. Not a single shot is knowu to have taken effect. It is hoped that the dastardly ruf fians will yet be arrested and made to pay tbe penalty of their crime. Asiericus Recorder; We .were told yesterday tbe following, which, as a jour nalist, we give. It was stated in the pres ence of several others, and is a strange circumstance; the more so, since some of our reputable citizens' names are connected with it: Mr. \V.

Mr. Jordan says lie thoaght it was soino sport, and went with him. He Lad not proceeded far when another mat. emerged from the side of tbe rend with a drawn pistol, then another, nmil he found himself confronted by eight men. Ue was told tbat they intcmicd ip kill him. Ue was confounded and did not know what to dt>. As one came up with a shot gun, be breka loose and ran down tbe bill, and was ahot at several times. He states tbat be knew four of tbe party. It appears from bis understanding of tbe trouble, that he was suspected of giving informa tion to tlie authorities of some illicit dis- tilling in tbe neighborhood, with which some of these parties were connected.

It occupied much of the time of the court and excited great public interest. Each side was ably represented by some of tbe best legal talent in the State, and every point iu tbe case was fought with stubborn resolution aud fo rensic skill. Tbe trial resulted in a ver dict iu favor of the Masons, and tbe bank carried tbe case to tbe Supreme Court, where, after another legal battle, tbe ver dict of the jury was sustained. Tbe Ma seru, being unable to find any property out of which to make their money, filed a bill in equity to prevent tlie officers of the' bank from disposing of its assets and to put it in the bands of a receiver. After a trig! upon tbia bill tbe coart ap- pointed a reoeirer and granted iajauctibn.. The Lank carried the case to tbe Supreme Court and the Masons won again. Tbe receiver foiling to find any property, tb«f "31aa*ru sued tbe president and cashier of tlie bank to make them pay the debt, acd this case was tried last year and resulted In a verdict against them for tbe whole debt. Judge Pottle, who presi ded at all the trials, refused to grant them a new trial, and again »n a; peal was taken to lie Supreme Court. This last case WM recently fully argued before the Supreme Court, and on Saturday last the court rendered a decision in favor of the Mavuu.

E*MCtai*er M Cmty Killed, u4 Three Train* Wredut >ec*w a*d Incidents. Sunday morning, occurred another one of tboae frightful accidents, which it seems no amount ot forethought or care can prevent; an accident by which a hu man life was sacrificed nnd a wife and two children were left desolate. The occur rence took place about two miles the other side of Grifwoldrille early Sunday morn ing, asd under circumstances of an ex ceedingly singular nature. Five trains left Savannah on Sat urday evening for Macon, four freight and one mixed passenger and freight. Tbe latter was in tbe rear and carried the sleeping car, nearly every berth of which was occupied. In the course of the night two of the freights found it impossible to keep ahead of the passenger, and gave it the track and in this order they came on, tbe passenger train with two freight trains in front and two behind iu Beyond priswoldviUe there is a heavy down grade, over which tbe first two trains passed in safety and reached Macon. This grade occurs partly in a cut through which the passenger rushed nearly to the bottom. Finding himself approach ing the freight train ahead of him, the en gineer of the passenger train blew brases on the down grade, and after a moment blew them off As the couplings- tight ened the three passenger coaches broke loose; also a section of freight cars. Under the rear coach, the sleeper, were the patent air brakes, which, when connection was severed, worked automat ically and checked tbe cars almost to a standstill. It was early morning, and the passengers were stirring. President W. if. Wadley was at tbe wash bowl in the rear of tbe car when his attention was at tracted to tbe freight train which in the rear loomed up through tbe mist on the down grade. Turning he gave tbe alarm, arousing every one in tbe car, aud then skipping away from tbe platform with all tbe agility of a man of twenty- five, with no broken leg. Tbe passengers nearly all followed. Tice President Raool, however, who was in his berth, made for the front door and found it locked. He saw he would not have time to reach tbe rear door, so out through tbe window he went, bruising his bare feet severely as be struck, but escaping other injury. Mr. Milo Freeman was also in tbe car with tbe two little boys of Mr. Tom Thomson. He seized one under each ann and made for tbe front door, but at that moment the engine it ruck the coach, burst in and lodged more than half way op tbe car, its piston boxes resting in berths numbers six and seven. Mr. Free man does not remember anything else that happened until he found him self piled upon the boys in the far end of the car with seats and cushions piled ou him. He stud: his band out the window and wared it, aud Mr. William Wadley rushed in aud extricated him. He has sustained many bruises, aud a ter rible cut over the eye. This, he thinks, was caused by a fragment burled forward by tbe eugine. The boys were not scratched even. There was one other pas senger in tbe car, occupying berth No. G. His escape was miraculous. Ue was koccked from his berth to tbe one oppo site, and from there fell to tbe floor. Here be spied a hole and crawled out after ev erybody had given him tip. Ue registered as Smith at tbe Bro wn House, fearing bad tidings of him would bn telegraphed home. He was the centre of attraction daring tbe day, with bis flattened carpet bag, and pants with the seat pinned on. TBE ENGINEER’S DEATH. “I do not know why Croeby did not jump,” said Jack Tarver, the fireman o the ill-fated Emerson Foote, to a Tele- grape reporter yesterday. I suppose he must haTe been confused and nnable to think. When we rushed out of the cut from my side l could see farther ahead thau be could. I saw the sleeper, shut off steam and blew brakes on. Bill Barnes, the woodpasser, jumped to tbe brake and looked like Le would tear it off It never checked us a bit. Tbe track was tike glass and we were coming twenty miles an hour with twenty cats. When I shat off steam I cried, ‘Itook out, Sol, yonder’s the passenger, jump.’ I stepped on tbe hot* tom step, picked a smooth place and jump- ed off, skinning my face up but not hurt ing me. As I jumped,’ I looked back. Crosby had bold of the throttle and was trying to reverse. His right foot wa3 up on the box and his left on the foot board. He had got the lever back to the middle notch.” Such is the account gathered from those wbo were on tbe engine with Crosby. But there comes another ac count tbat supplies the missing link and makes tbe action of tbe man to shine out as the act of a hero. Tbe voice that first gave notice of the approaching freight was that of Mr. Aicck Clarke, the ex press messenger, and he it was that Mr. Wadley beard. Clarke looked out of the express car and seeing tbe freight approach ing ran back and warned the passengers to leave. He then stood by and saw the freight rash up. Crosby stood upright at his post with his engine reversed, and his left band on tlie sand wire, while a steady stream of sand poured down before tbe wheels. Heteouldnot leave kit engine while there teas a chance to check the speed, and so Ke staid, u giving her sand." And thus he died. Rather than leave bis train he deter mined to take the chance of shoving tbe passenger coaches on down the grade, but the locked wheels prevented. He sacri ficed his life to duty, and died like a brave man at Ms post. .‘When the. engine struck, two-thiids went into the sleeper, and a loaded freight car closed in on it. Tbe engine's tender went back into the freight car ont of sfgtlf and the freight car wa3 jammed up against the coach. - Thus tbe engine and tender were off the ground, shut up in the two cars, its rear driving wheels lu the irelgbt, its front in the sleeper.

Had the aiam been given in tbe sleeper a miiiqte later a terrible loss of life would have ensued. As it is, the escape of “Smith” and Mr. Freeman was miraculous.

Yesterday we were shown the new pile driver built at tbe Central railroad ma chine shops, in this city, to be used in tbe construction cf the elevator about to be erected in Savannah. The driver is a fine piece of workman ship, and reflects great credit upon iu de signer. The whole machine consist* of a lifting engine, a folding frame work or derrick, and* heavy hammer or driver, together with numerous rapes and pulleys, all mounted on a platform car. The engine is placed on the rear end of a platform which rests upon the car. The derrick is at tbe forward end of tbe same platform, beyond the end of tbe car. The platform swings on a pivot which is over tbe front tracks, so tbat when the driver is swung ont to one side of the track, the engine is over the other, tbe two exactly balancing each other. J On the front of tlm engine are two spools, over one of which is ran the rope to unfold ths derrick and bring tbe shaft* upright. The other receives the rope that lifts the hammer. A rubber pipe runs from the engine to the hammer; through this pipe steam is forced to drive the hammer down. Beneath the ham mer is a cap which fits over tbe pile and receives the blow. Thirty strokes a min ute is the way the hammer works, and the fall of the hammer is hastened by the pressure of the steam. Tbe machine can drive a pile anywhere in a circle sixteen feet wide, and cau be put in position or resumed in three minutes by two men. Such are a few of its advantages. “Tncl« fjcmst' Faltx Lore.” Jcc Harris is treating his Northern friends to a rabbit of fun and slyly raking in tbe shekels in the meantime. That is business and politeness combined, and we are glad to tee our friend so evenly balanced. * They say, and “they” means the world at large, tbat the book is a grand success, and has struck a chord which will vibrate long and loudly. It may be that it will follow in tbe footsteps of “Georgia Scenes” and “Major Jones’ Courtship,’ and become one of tbe standard special ties of the publisher. We earnestly trust so. There is n*t a man, woman or child in Georgia tall enough to reach Joe’s shoulder but what would lay a baud cn it gently and whisper, “I am glad of U, old fellow—for tbe sake of the wife and youngster, for the sake of genius, for the sake ot heavy trials braved, difficulties overcome, and temptations resisted, and for the sake of tbat genial, cheery spirit which has shed its beauty about us so long; yes, for your soke, Joe, I am glad ©fit.” ftuei *. ! tlii»Ci>!intry, their ad other column will r:r- UiUtion.

Tbe express office in this City was ap propriately draped in mourning last Sna- day morning In memory of Alfred Gai ther, president of Expressman's Aid So ciety and manager Adams Express C< pany, whose funeral took place on that da The loss of this great man is a severe one. He was one of the highest officers in the express service, aud a friend to the expressman. It was through his efforts that tbe Adams’ Express Company granted au annuity of $2,000 to the society, aud when the yellow fever brought heavy iossqs upon it, amomed the debt* and al lowed the society to gay it back in la- stailmeuts that the Members eonld af ford. - I He was* noble man, aad well -quali fied for Ms high poilften. Pvobaht ao man has done more to bring the express business to its present standing among tbe commercial enterprises of tbe country. —Standing in the Central railroad round-house we saw yesterday, the “Kiochaf-xmee” that killed Sheridan; “Muckalee” that killed Wade, Schaeffer, Taylor and Lane; “Louisville” that crushed Urquhart, and outside, tlie “Emerson Foote” with the blood of Crotby scarcely dry upon it.

We doubt if since the day the bear went forth and deroured tbe cMIdren for poking fun st the prophet, such an excite ment has seized upon a juvenile community as that which animated tbe infant mind of Macon yesterday afternoon. The long expected tournament was to be held on Walnut street, and to tbat point as early as two o’clock streams of children began to flow. At three, fully a thousand youngster? were strung along the side-walks while a large number of adults thronged about the tourney ground eagerly awaiting the sport. Ladies lined the front yard fences along the route, and sat iu carriages out in the street. The procession of riders, about fifty in number, was a beautiful sight. Down the side-walk, headed by the “three year old,” it went wMle a shout rent the air that echoed squares away. Indeed tne assemblage did little else than cheer for about an honr and a half. Tbe racing was conducted under the supervision cf six or eight gentlemen, and all communications were bad entirely by signs. One could not bear bis own voice, as tbe Irishman said, half way across tbe street. Foot boys cf each class rode simul taneously, and it was a ludicrous sight to see tbe short legs working on tbe pedals, a sight that grew funnier as the smaller boys were reached. People laughed them selves almost into convulsions when the six-Tear-ohls were racing. Tbe little fellows were terribly in earnest, and their eager remarks were greeted with shouts. In one race, for instance, as two liule fel lows came speeding in, tbe judge asked, “What are your names?” The smallest spoke np breathlessly, “My name’s Ayres Conner, bat I caught np with him.” In another race two machines foaled and threw their riders. One boy instantly crawled back upon bis* “pony” aad made the goal on time. Tbe last race was be tween little Hugh Wilson and himself. He was tbe only tlnee-year-old, and they told him he would have to do Ms best or get beat. Hi* little leg* went to woric like piston-rods, and np tbe sidewalk be went, followed by everybody. His sac- cess was greeted with prolonged cheers, and bis little face, when they told him be had won, was a study. He never corid understand what became of tbe other fel low. Tbe list of entries is too Urge to pnb- ltsb, but tbe best time was made by Loris Pellew, who lode tbe half square in 12} Tbe immense crowd made a rash for Irvine’s store, where tbe pnzes were, climbed trees, tree boxes, signs and ve hicles. They finally swept off to tbe court boose where tbe prizes, silver dol lars, sleeve buttons, cakes, onr.g r, fire crackers, knives, medals, candy, boards, cups, books, drums, writing desks, etc., were distributed. All got and went off happy. Tbe following made the best time la their respective daises: Johnnie SchefirM. Louis Emmel and Willie Irvine (tie), Louis Pellew, Walter Lager- quisi, Charlie Hollifield, Ike Dnawoody, Arthur Wiigley, Percy Cbestney, Gttssie Daly, Gnsie Rogers, asd Hugh Wilson. To Mr. Bridges Smith 4be boys are in debted for this fun, which will be repeat ed on a more elaborate scale. Tbe Dev’s Kb« Arthur, Is tbe title of a delightful volume just laid upon our table fresh from tbe hands of Charles Scribner’s Sons, New York. The work is Sir Thomas Mallory’s History ot King Arthur and the Knights oi tbe Round Table, revised and edited by onr talented countryman, Sidney Lanier. The work is intended as a companion for tbe Boy’s Froissart, Mr. Lanier’s work of last year, aad is a simplified collection of these famous old stories over which poets have sung, maidens wept, and boys have hung entranced for ages. Tbe work as it now appears is stripped of that ancient spelling which so mystifies the young. Tbe words of tbe author have been sacredly preserved through out, but in modern shapes, aad where it was impossible to change them tbe mean ing is produced immediately following. Thus are the old legends of Mallory’s pre served in all their quaint beauty, and mode clear and easy to any reader. Tbe book supplies that exciting food which young and romantic minds crave, and which of late years they have begun to seek among tbe vul gar, slangy stories of scoot and Indian life. It brings the youthful reader into tbe fine fellowship of lordly Sir Lanncc- lot, of generous Sir Tristam, of stainless Sir Galahad, of gentle Sir Penrival, of meek Sir Gareth cf Orkney, ol brilliant SirPaiamedes tbe Saracen, of dolorous Sir Baiin and Sir Balan, of persevering Sir la' Cote dial Tails, cf hilarious Sir Dinadan, contrasting their lordly virtues and chivalry with the cowardly Kng Mark, traitorous Sir Mod red and of wick ed Morgan Le Fay. It brings into tne young mind noble thoughts, high purpos es, and a contempt for the mean and J small. ! Indeed, as the editor sar*. “no book j ever needed less pointing out of its iutrin- ! sic faults and beauties than this frank 1 work of a soui so transparent that one is j made to think ot tbe Wakulla Spring in Florida, where one can see a penny on the bottom at a hundred feet depth.” Tbe book le elegantly gattea up, asd contains twelve exquisite engravings of as many knightly contests.

I bare al ways been too busy to investigate that mu ter.” Tbe reporter called at tbe telephone sty lion in tbe fifth floor of No. Nassau street. Here, in a long room, hath sides of which are occupied by boards un* some of which the s ummonses of the sub scribers are registered and upon others ef which connections are eHablished by au tomatic arrangements, were (bond twenty, three operatives, fourteen girls and nine boys.
