The family had retired and went to sleep when they were aroused by a neighbor who lived near by, and they escaped with only a very small amount of clouting and furniture, which was Raved by those who came their assistance. Mr. Bridges had a splendid house, which bad iwcently cost him $2,500, and was well furnished. In his smoke house was a considerable quan tity of meat, brandy, etc., all of which was dastNyfed. During the progress of the fire, his bant, fifty yards distant, was. set on fire, though the windT was blowing in an opposite direction from his house, and bnt for some one go ing down It would have also been burned down. That It was clearly the work of some Infamous scoundrel, there can be no doubt, and it is ■ to’be hoped the guilty party may be caught and punished to the extent of the law. On his entire property Mr. Bridges had an insur ance *of . $3,500, hut his loss (part of it being his barn) will amount to near $1,600. He has the sympathy of the whole community; and he seems to have a great deal Of bad luck, as last year his mill house—on wliich there was no insur ance was burned, entailing on him a loss of about $3,000, The Columbus Tines has the following letter from Cussc-ta, Ga.: “About three o’clock tills morning, the grist mill and gin house of Mr. Alva D. Harp, of this county, was burned, it is supposed, by an incendiary. The house contained about five hales of cotton in the seed, and the seed from thirty hales, three gins and other gin house appurtenances. The grist mill adjoining was also burned. Total loss about $3,000. No Insurance. The mill was situated some fifteen miles from Columbus, on Wilson’s creek. The loss falls heavily on Mr. Harp, who has the sympathy of his friends.

Atlanta Constitution: At the last meeting of National Educational Associa tion. held at Chanlauqua, New York, Prof. G. J. Orr, State school commissioner of Georgia, extended an invitation to that body to hold its next annual meeting in Atlanta. After considering the different places which had expressed a desire to entertain tins association, the committee decided In favor of Atlanta, and the 19th, 20th, 21st and 22d of July, 1881, was selected as the time for the meeting. In the interest of the approaching meeting of the association, the Hon. J. H. Smart, who Is superintendent of education of the State of Indiana, and president of the National EJucatloual Association, arrived at Atlanta on Monday last, andaftermakingtborough arrangements with the various railroads leading into the city, left yesterday forthls home. The National Educational Associ ation has a membership of several hundred, and its roll contains the names of some of tlie best and moet successful educators in the Union. Each State in the Union is represented, and the meetings are largely attended by the best scholars in tlie world. Professor Orr, who Is first vice president of the associa tion, says there is every assurance that there will be a large attendance upon the next session, and in order to give the vis itors a good welcome he Is using his ener gies to secure a large Southern delegation. This association is beyond doubt one.of such merit that it commends itself to ev ery one who desires to see educational advancement, and it is to be hoped that our people will see that Professor Orr is zealously supported in his effort to make thrf coming session pleasant to those who may favor us with their company. Augusta News: Just after noon to day, at the Excelsior flouring mills of George T.

At this hour we have not learned whether amputation will be neqessary or not. Three pbysicans are now in attendance. Atlant a Post-Appeal: We learn that the figures presented by tbe new census indicate some changes in the representa tion of counties in the General Assembly of the State. The full list cannot be pre sented now, because the Gen eral Assembly itself .will have to determine contests over some of the esses. As far as we are able to give tbe probabilities they are as follows: Pike county, with a total population of 15,840, will gain one Representative, giving it two where it now has but one. Floyd county, which now has two members, will gaiu one, making it one of tbe six coun ties entitled to three members. Hali county also claims another member, on the strength of having 14,11*3 of popula tion. Houston county, -which now has three mein tiers, will lose one of them, in all probability, although a strong fight will be made to retain him. Newton county distinction to the town folks, and isi an cient origin, coming down from the first or earliest history of our State.

JV» ft 1» crackers have come to town. Tne enu- drew even - . recogulzed and used the word when ’wishing to handy an epithet of ridicule, or to call attention to their own Importance over the country, hoy or girl “you are a cracker.”, Probably a little sting of lids kind (whfen-quite a child) best Indelibly impressed upon my mind, led me to often inquire the deriva tion of the word.. One would say It was because the country people in coming to town with their wagons and teams, used long whips which they cratfc to the-dis- tui bsnee of the city people. But this was not the origin of it, and I have found no clue to the. word save in Rev. W.- B. Stevens’ history of Georgia. And I think it is explained in that: work, though he does not refer to it or use the word. In describing the extreme destitution or the few “whies” who held out in that strug gle, how about 350 men'in Burke and Wilkes counties were kept from tneir homes, scouting about to avoid the tones (for Savannah and Augusta were-In the hands of tories and British, and the wliole State was overruu) the women and children remained In the secluded forest, at their little 'huts, : tivated with much difficulty small patches of Indian' corn, their only means of food. There were no mills to grind their corn, and they parched and cracked jthest they could, and ate It. “They ate parched corn,” and -were em phatically “corn crackers.” An old. citi zen of revolutionary fame here has been heard to relate the description his mother cave him of dividing a crop of com among some sisters who made it, she covering her pile with a cow-hide until she could get some place to store it, the men not Being able to build pens or barns. When tho war closed, and these; singular look ing people visited the “Celestial City of Savaonah-to trade, they must have pre sented a striking contrast to the more for- twnale colonists, who were well fed and clothed with British gold, and ilwiM good appropriate , epithet to call them “crackers.” If this be the origin of the word, it points a period of self-sacrlfiCe and suffering, of heroic endurance and de votion to principle, evinced-by a people and parents of whom Georgians need not be ashamed.

Hawkinsvillc Dispatch: The event of the week just past was tbe assembling of the South Georgia Conference in our town. This august body convened last Wednesday morning at 0 o’clock in the court house—Bishop George F. Pierce presiding. A handsome mau, a more gen ial, courteous, Christian gentleman than Bishop Pierce, does not belong to the Southern Methodist Episcopacy. He was just from the several Texas conferences, stopping only four hours with his family before starting for HawkitisviUe. Though travel-wem and weary, he summoned strength for the occasion, and dispatched business with a rapidity and ease that have ever characterized him as a presid ing officer. Tbe South Georgia Confer ence is a working body. None rose merely to air rhetoric. None manifested a desire to speak sgsinst time, and the few who spoke at all, did so very briefly, and al ways to the point. While nearly every quest ion was open to discussion, there were no symptoms of “purging at the mouth”—a malady with which too many pubiic men of the present day and generation are sorely afflicted. In closing our brie.* comment, it is but a matter of Justice to state, that tbe deliberations of tlie oonfer- fereuce were vastly facilitated through the efficiency of the secretary and his able corps of assistants.

Mr. Hoyt, pastor of the Presbyte rian Church, conducted tho ceremony with due solemnity* The array of bridal presents was bril liant. A handsome silver tea service, four beautiful butter dishes, three dozeu silver spoons, silver forks, napkin rings, card basket, a lovely Jtoilet set of silver and fine glass, and other costly things, made up a display which your correspond ent is poorly able to describe, hut wliich your ready imagination can easily realize.

The thanks of the community arc due to Mr. E. D. Ir vine, who has painted several fine pictures of tbe fort ami thus preserved at least a semblance ol its appearance. The history of Fort Hawkins has been so often written that tlie pubiic generally are familiar with it. Built in the year 18G2, it was named for Colonet Benjamin Hawkins, who acted as commissioner for the government aud selected a site for tlie building.

The annual conference of South Geor gia, recently held in Hawkinsvillc, sent, away two of our most popular and useful Methodist preachers. Kev. Q. G.N. Mac- Donell was presiding elder of the Macon district. He was a faithful and efficient officer. His . brethren in i the ministry give liim the credit ot being tho best pre siding elder in the conference. His wo'rk -was always,done aud' always well dope. Ho has. been 1 pastor of both Mulberry street and F'rst street Methodist Churches in our city, giving two years to each charge, and hail become thoroughly Iden tified with Macon Methodism. Universal regret is expressed at his removal.- Mr. MacDouell is succeeded by Dr. A. T. Maun, an old p&storof Mulberry Street church, In years agone, as will bo re membered by the older members of that church. He is one of the most scholarly and eloquent pulpit orators in the confer ence, and will no doubt receive a wairn reception at the hands of our Methodist friends. He will be heic sometime next month. ltev. T. S. Twitty, the late pastor of First Street Methodist church, will fill that pulpit this morning. His people had be come very much attached to him, and were greatly disappointed that he was not returned. He had won upon the commu nity, and outsiders were astonished at the mandate that took him away. They knew nothing of the machinery of ah annual conference, ami that a Methodist preacher’s term or office is only one year. Mr. Twitty, it was said, was wanted elsewhere, and while he regretted to leave his people here, . he goes cheerfully to his new field of labor. He is succeeded by Rev. B. F. Breedlove, who is said to be a good preacher, a fine pastor and a refined gentleman. He has been successful wherever he has gone and will no doubt win the affections .and the hearts of his people lie; e., Tlie return of Dr. J. S. Key and Rev. J. Simmons to their respective charges gives the utmost satisfaction to their people They are both zealous and faithful work ers and their places would be hard to fill. Rev. B, : H.

Camilla Urso stands prominent among the greatest violinists of the century, and with Americans, whose estimate of the merits of an artist Is not measured so much by technical skill as the parity and beauty of tone, she stood without a rival, save, perhaps, Ola Bull. Her appearance in Macon will be the third on tbe Ameri can stage since her return from Europe. it is hardly possible to believe that tbe personnel of the Mendelssohn Quiutette Club could be improved from what it was when we last heard them, but we have as surance that such is tbe fact. Among their number is Herr Frederick Geise, who is prononneed by professional men to be the best violoncellist that ever visited this country. The prima donna that accompanies them is Miss Marie Neliini, a pupil of Garcia and Lagrange; who, although au American, has spent her artistic life abroad, where she acquired a very envia ble reputation.

Wbat He Mae Done, b Dolus aud Expect* to Do-—He Mean* 11 trainees. Editors Telegraph and Messenger; In justice to myself ami those friends who have supported, assisted and encouraged me tor the last two years in ruy work, I wish to make a plain statemeut of facts. Two years ago, at the earnest solicita tion of respectable citizens, I was elected sexton. I have labored faithfully and earnestly with my time abd money to make au efficient officer. Let my works speak as to tuy success. I have, with the help of two gentlemen, whom the •citizens will remember, collected in public contributions, and not one cent from those who are now trying to hurl me downward, enough money to build o fence vylth red’cedar posts and good plank and a barbed Wire on top of tlie same, around the cemetery. Tne wire not going quite all the way tm The back side, what money was needing I furnished, with the assist ance of that noble, generous-hearted, dead friend of mine, Reuben Guise. I never got but eigbtv-seveu dollars and fifty cents from tlie city for the whble of it. So much for that. My next effort was to make funeral pro cessions respectable. In my effort to do so, and at;the same time get some remuuera- tipn for my trouble, the price of carriages toi funerals fell from four dollars (which price they had beeu at for years, pub lished statements to .the contrary, not withstanding) to one dollar, l’atlies wishing proof can obtain tbe same by calling ou me and I will show them re ceipted bills to that effect. No getting around the truth of the assertion. I pre sume there are some jealousies about all this, and some would like to see it broken up. Mr. Brown published that he would send carriages for nothing, and if his crop was a success he would offer further in ducements. I send carriages now for $2 to $2.50 to funerals in tho city.. So much for the improvement in this department, and I propose to make as big a reduction in another department, as in this one; just wait and see. Why,when I took possession of Rose Hill Cemetery, think of the condition of it and the way it was kept and go aud look at it now. I have had employed from three to twenty-five hauds aua wagons and carts, working lor weeks for the last two years, and every week have had more or less work done. I have woiked all the roads— tome that had not been worked in fwcnly- five yeatp, I am tola. In fact, all tlie work at the Cemetery has been done by me. All tbe compensation I have got is when lots were sold and what the good citizens of Macon gave me to help build the feuce and the amount before alluded to. ‘ A’ report of the same has been made in full, of al.l spent at the cemetery aQdtakeu In, to tbe'treasurer of Rose Hill cemetery, •Ji W. Burke. 1 made.it out just as soon as I could, aud carried it to him so that he could make his yearly report iu time. But he was absent from. the city. Therefore it was my unavoidable delay iu making my report that caused his not to bo ready when 1 made my report to the mayor and council oil Tuesday night last. There has been much talk and commeni originating and coming from a certain jealous ring; Jealous of my success, jealous of my business, jealous of my position as sexton which two years ago they ridiculed or laughed at. 1 have this to say: I am not ashamed of auv act, deed, or expres sion, dwe or made by me as city sexton since I have beeu in the office. I feel that I have done my duty, regardless of any and all parties. For the proof, ask the living, who have laid their loved ones in Rose Hill and Dak Ridge cemeteries. I have employed policemen for weeks at a time to catch the vandal* aud tieuds that go there and steal fine vases and bas^ kets, dig up rare flowers by the roots and take them away, draw rude and disgrace- fill figures upon the tombstones ana sum- iucr-houses, write obscene language aud expressions upon tbe same, aud leave the gates open aud let in cattle aud hogs. To a great extent I have stopped it; but there is still some of it done, aud woe be to the parties when £ do catch up with them, for it is a vile sacrilege that should be severe- iy dealt with. One word about the difficulty be tween Mr. Reichert and myself. 1 learn ed from a reliable source that Mr. Reich ert had beeu talking very disrespectfully of me. I approached him politely and hi the presence of several gentlemen and asked for an explanation. He got very angry aud tbeu we both got mad. I very deeply regret the occurrence. As to his published denial of our co partnership, I most respectfully refer the citizens to the placard he bad printed and paid for oat of his own pocket, and to Mr. Sam Waxelbaum, who witnessed the trade. I would go into details but feel ft unnecessary. I never knew the price of a casket or coffin in the establishment or sold one without him setting the price. If he collected over tliia amount he cer- taluly will pay me my part of tbe profits, as be has Dever accounted for but $150 ‘what it was sold for. For proof, 1 refer to Mr. James Mason, who was at tbe Brown House at the time and set down tbe figures. I collected »uly $20 for ice, embalming, washing, dressing, etc , etc., aud shipping, and received a message of thanks from tbe lady at her Northern home, who wrote to a lady friend of hers in this city and expressed her gratefulness ior my kindness and attention when she was so much troubled, aud said the re mains looked as natural when they got home as they did tho night they were shipped from Macon. So much for that very strange report. I certainly did not wrong her. I have kept an office at my own ex pense, and a horse and buggy which have been used by the citizens of )Macon, when they wished to go to tbe cemetery and give orders. I keep from three to ten good men at tho cemetery all the time, aud at no time in the day can any ono go to the cemetery and not find some on* ready to serve him, if called ou. I am working to plea»e the public, and my friends especial ly, and I propose to make a living while i am at it—aud to save money for all those who come and patronize me. AU of tbe above are truths, and I am ready and willing to stand by them under buy cir cumstances or emergencies. I say to ail those who are jealous of my success, that, it re-elected,l propose todoin tbe future as in the past—my duty, as I see it, to one aud ail. I mean business. Very respect fully, J. J. Clay.

Hiusdlton's Confession, and How He Made It. Tbe man arrested for setting fire to the St. Peter Insane Asylum remains in the county Jail at St. Peter, Minn. He was visited by a Pioneer-Press reporter, ter whom he made a statement in the nature of a .confession. His name is Ben Ilns- selton, and he was sent to the asylum from NVorthington, He was ordinarily so tractable as lo be employed around tho hospital in menial duties' and wa3 sup posed to be so entirely harmless that he was allowed the liberty of the entire building. He is rather small in stature, very closely knit, is about five feet eight Indies in height and weighs 140 pounds. His hair is slightly tinged with gray, ami in relating tlie horrible deed, which- at the same time lie acknowl edged, his small gray eyes light ed with a-fiendish expression of delight- which caused a shudder to run llirougb the veins of his hearers. When asked why he set the building on fire, liis reply wlav, fiercely: “ them, I would like to burn tliem ail. Haven’t they broke my head on the stone floor four or five times? All I am sornr for is that tbe naphtha un der the femaic wing did not burn, and then Iwonld have had them all,old Bart lett as well as the rest. I can only die once, but only regret that I did not com plete the business. I am ready to stretch hemp, for I made them squirm when I was on top.” The foregoing, with many more blaS-> pbemous and incoherent expressions, \v» all that'could be Earned from the man himself, but tbe following facts were gathered from other persons: Husseiton, having been employed on some out-door work around the hospital, in the desire to finish the task was detained a little later than usual, and on returning to supper he found that his meal was cold and unpal atable. While eating he swore vengeance on the attendants, and told the engineer, William Pearce, that he would have re venge on them, If lie had to burn down the whole hospital to obtain it. No attentien appears to have been paid to his threats, and Iu a short time the fire was discovered in the north wing. The maniac’s story that he used naphtha is confirmed by the state ment of several firemen who were early ou the ground, that they heard a dull ex plosion from the cellar. Immediately af ter his incarceration he informed Us cap- tor or the locality of the other can of naphtha under the female wing, which, by some providential cimimstAnce bad faile J to ignite, tliereby saving the lives of hun dreds of helpless female patients. jHK250. „ J _ — V nave you caught a eoldf rCoBOOl e Are yon unable to raise tbe pOlegmr Hare you an oppression on tbe lungs vrltb abort breath?
