A TALK WITH JEFF DAVIS. It is said by those who onght to know best that Senator Blaine is preparing for a European tour of eight months, leaving this country in March and returning next November. He would go in February it it were not for the close vote in the Senate after March 3. * The will of the late Gov. James D. Williams, of Indiana, has been probated. Hduwiij* his property equitably among his legal lnirs, consisting of bis son John, his widowed daughter, and the children of his deceased son George W. There are no public bequests. Mr. Whittier writes that he hopes hat his readers will find that he has '‘tried to make the world a little better;” nd that something may be found in his writings “to awaken a love- of freedom, justice, peace and good-will—something Which shall suggest, however faintly and imperfectly, the Christian idea of love t<v God and humanity.” Preparations for the coming census of 1881 in Londou are being actively pushed. It is anticipated that the returns will reveal a striking increase in the pop ulation of the metropolis, which cannot no w be far short or4,000,000. The census will be taken simultaneously in every dis trict of the United Kingdom on the same day. In clearing away the remains of one of the ruined bastions of Ysdi-koulo near Constantinople,the agents ot the Prefecture discovered a large quantity of gunpowder, the exlstauce of which was not before suspected. Information was at once sent to tbo Ordnance Department, whence an expert was dispatched to examine the pow- .dcr. Powder, strictly speaking, it was not, tor the grains were as large as filberts; but a grain thrown Into the fire showed that tho composition was of a highly ex plosive character, but the expert coaid not precisely determine what the quality was without submitting it to analysis. The powder is believed to liavo been de posited where it was found prior to the conquest of Constantinople by Moham med the Second. Howard and West Point.—The Bal timore Sun’s Washington correspondent says a good deal of surprise was manifest ed in Washington at tho appointment of Gen. Howard to the command at West Point, in view of the fact that a few davs before it was done the President himself told Gen. Howard that he liad decided not to place him at the Academy, under pressure from Gen. Sherman and Secretary Evans, although he had been summoned to Washington originally for that purpose. It leaks out now that the President was persuaded to act upon his original intention by certain of the stal wart- in Congress. When it was announc ed through the press that the President had yielded to the representations of Scho field's friends that the change from him to Howard would bo too abrupt, they went to the White House and told Mr. Hayes that the country demanded just such change, and that under the present condi tion of things a colored boy might about as well be in the abode of the lost as at West Point. So much feeling had been aroused that if half-way measures were attempted the institution was in evident •danger of being wiped out. Braced up by stalwart backing, the President decldea to do as he originally intended, and put Howard in command. The Nfw Rothschild Partnership The act of partnership between the mem bers ol tho Rothchild family expired on the 36th of September last. Anew part nership has recently been formed between all but one of the members of the family —Baron Adolphe Rothschild, of Naples, retiring with a fortune of one hundred and eighty millions of francs, ($30,000,- 000.) We have millionaires in the United States whose Individual fortunes far ex ceed that of Baron Adolphe Rotlischiid, that of Mr. William H. Vanderbilt being conspiciously one of them; bnt the united fortunes of the Rothschild family make the firm the richest in the world. But the financial power of the Rothschilds is not dependent alone upon the mouey which they have put into their banking business. It Is the vast sums they cau draw from theirco-religionistsatany time when they need the command of more capital that, in conjunction with their own means, constitutes them tho foremost financial power in tbo world. The term of tho .new partnership jiutentered into is for twenty-five years. It consequently expires in 1005.

It is reported that Mr. William Shields, of St. Louis, has discovered a process by which a steel can be produced in a pud dling furnace far superior to Bessemer steel. While it is admirably suited, ac cording to the tests made by experts, to the manufacture of rails, old rails can be reheated, amalgamated witli the new steel, and the two welded together in tho process of rolling them into bars.

He sat most of the time with his elbow resting on tfs knee and his band on bis forehead, occasionally using a handkerchief to remove the moisture from his eyes. He pleaded not guilty to the charge of murder in the first degree. The evidence so far is about the same as that produced before the coroner, only more complete.

Editor Hectare Interviews the Confederate Chief—Why Be« gard was Ordered to Itre on ten ter. Mississippi City, Mibb., Dec. 16,1880. A ioumey through the South for the study of the currents of opinion and the present condition and probable progress of the reconstructed States would be in complete without a visit to the one man who must stand iu history as the front of the overthrown Confederacy. A drive of five miles through the sand and straggling pines which skirt the Gulf bay exhibits the same general dilapidation among the old time summer homes which were once the favorite retreats of the elite of New Orleans in the sickly season. The shore of the bay has a number of palatial plan tation houses, but they have fallen into the sweeping decay that marks them as relics of an age that has gone. The only one that seems to have been carefully pre served from the desolation that surrounds It is tho Dorsey place, now the home of Jefferson Davis. In a forest of green live oaks, richly laden orange trees and a pro fusion of vines and flowers, a large frame plantation hmse is presented. It is a sin gle story in height, and has the regulation pillars and broad varan- das of tee 'aristocratic boutnem mansion. There the ex-Confederste President lives with his nephew, General Davis, and their joint families. The ex- Queen of the Confederate Court is t stout, motherly, cultured and genial woman, and a daghter, a strongly marked copy of the mother, possesses un usual attractions of both person and in tellect. The house is famished with every regard for comfort, as the well- worn easy chairs and lounges and the hall and parlor divans faithfully attest, and the walls are decorated with ancient paintings and modern bric-a-brac, while the wide chimney place and capacious mantel tell how the cheerful pioe fire sparkles when a chill or a stray frost silences the song ot the mock ing bird and the bloodthirsty serenade of the mosquito. Soon alter I had been politely bowed into the parlor Jefferson Davis entered alone, and bis greeting was the cordial welcome or the proverbial hospitality of the South. I confess to disappointment in the general appearance of the man who stands in his tory to-day as the soldier-statesman with out a country. I expected to find the strongly marked traces of a grievously dis appointed life, and severe civility and studied reticence in discussing all thiugs of the past; but those who believe Jeffer son Davis to be misanthropic in tempera ment and embittered against the nation and Lite world greatly misjudge him. Nor is lie the broken invalid that he is gen erally regarded. DAVIS IN CONVERSATION. Ills yet abuudaut locks and full beard are deeply silvered, and his face and frame are spare as they always have been, but bis step is elastic and steady and the hard lines of his brow, which are so con spicuous in his pictures, are at once ef faced when he enters Into conversation. Instead of imp essiug the visitor as a pol itical recluse who has no interest in the laud to whose citizenship he will live and die a stranger, he at once invites the free dom of the planter’s home by chatting without reserve, save when his contempo raries are likely to be criticized, when he adroitly and pleasantly turns the discus sion into inoffensive channels. He is yet the same positive man in all his convic tions and purposes that made him the leader of a causeless rebellion. He well understands that he cast the die for em pire or for failure that must make him ■klientutha country and the world, and that he lost; and he knows that he is to day the most powerless of ail men iu the iand to retrieve the fortunes of those who followed him to bereavement and sacri fice. He reads right the inexorable judg ment that makes liim execrated tor the Confederacy, while bis equally guilty sub ordinates iiave been welcomed to the fat- ted'caif. His Vice President, who fol lowed the slave empire afar when doubt and darkness gathered about it made baste to scramble over the ruins of the Confed eracy and regain the seat in Washington from which he seceded with Davis to aid in guiding rebellion. Two of liis un noted warriors have sat in Republican cabinets. Lee's ablest lieutenant is the Republican minister to Tuikey. The man who marched the first regiment of volunteers to Charleston ami who served as Confederate Senator until Appomattox became historic, died as the lieptiblicaii minister to Russia; and Senate, House and Washington departments swarm with men who were abreast with Jellerson Da vis in every effort to dismember the re public. But Davis is the embodiment of humiliation, while bis fellows go in ami out without displeasure. I heard no al lusion to or complaint of this injustice, but it is plainly evident that Davis entire ly appreciates it, and that be believes lie would not lie consistent with himself ami the grave responsibilities he assumed, however mistaken he may have been in assuming them, if he did not delib erately remain an alien to the government that lie more conspicuously than all oth ers struggled to overthrow. He could not help the .South or himself by seeking or accepting restoration to citizenship, and lie is wisely content witli stubborn faith in the rectitude of Ids lost cause. SOME REMINISCENCES OF THE WAIL I have long desired to know the exact truth from ' the fountain of Southern knowledge on the subject, in regard to several important events of the war, and I was agreeably surprised at the freedom with which Mr. Davis met my inquiries. Why Beauregard was ot derail to fire upon Andersou in Port Sumter, alter liis sur render was inevitable at a specified time without assaulting the flag, has never been entirely understood, it was the act ol madness, as it made division in the North impossible, and I have always be lieved that tbe real cause of the order to fire was to unify tbo South and end tbe threatening movements for reunion on any terms. Mr. Davis answered promptly and emphatically that tbe order was given solely because faith had been broken by the Lincoln administration in attempting to reinforce Audersou, and that the South needed no war to solidify its people. I think lie errs in underestimating tbe probable power of the movement in tbe South for reconstruction before the war, but it is evident that in deciding to issue the fatal order for the assault upon Sum ter he believed the Confederacy invincible and defiantly resented what be re garded as a violation of tbe pledge of tbe federal government. That act practically consolidated thoNortli and thenceforth the Confederacy was a fea-fully hopeless vJh- turn. On another important point he answered with tho same freedom. When asked whether tbe aggressive movement of Lee that culminated at Gettysburg was adopted as purely military strategy or the offspring of political necessity inside tbe Confederacy, he answered that it was the wisest of both military and political strat egy, but that It was not dictated at all by political considerations. He said that tbe wisdom of the military movement was proven in the recall of Meade from Vir ginia und the transfer of both armies to Northern soil; but, be soberly added, the battle was a misfortune. The chances were equal, as he regarded it, for military success, and that would have deranged the whole plan of the governmeut aud impaired its resources for the campaign of that year. As a military movement Mr. Davis says the Gettysburg campaign had the entire approval of Lee, and there were no political divisions in the South to dictate any departure from the wisest military laws. I desired .also to know whether, at the time or the Hampton Roads conference between Lincoln, Sew ard, Stephens and others, Mr. Davis had received auy intimation from any credi ble source that Mr. Lincoln would absent to tho payment of four hundred millions os compensation for slaves if tbe South would accept emancipation and return to the Union. He answered that he had no auchjintlmationfrom any source,hut that if such proposition had been made, he could not have entertained it as the executive of the Confederacy. He was the sworn executive of a government founded on the rights of the States; that slavery was dis tinctly declared to be exclusively a State institutlou, and that such an issue could hare bean decided only by tho indepen- j drat assent of each State. Some of them,' be added, would have accepted such terms at that time, but others would have de clined it, and peace was, therefore, im possible on that basis. DAVIS HOPEFUL OF THE FUTURE. Mr. Davis ili, cussed tbe preseut atti tude and future prospects of tbe South with manifest interest and great candor. White be is not ami caunot be a factor iu attaining any desired political results for tbe South, he shares the hopes expressed by the great mass of the more intelligent Southern people, that all the difficult problems will yet be wisely solved by gradual advancement and final harmony of races and sections, He was unreserved in expressing tbe belief that a civil service in tbe South that would insure fidelity to governmeut and people could uolfailto eud partisan or sectional issues between tho South and tbe Garfield administration, and unite both North and South in the promotion of the material interests of the whole country. His discussion of the re lations of the two sections under tbe present political aspect was thoroughly philosophical aud statesmanlike, and, while he will remain the one adjudged stranger to the republic, he hopes yet to see the South prosperous in common with a prosperous North, and the scars of war and the bitterness of sectional dispute healed forever. Next to a Southern slave confederacy be lielieves a free Uuion tbe best government for the republic.—Cor respondence Philadelphia Timer. GLU009E. Resolutions of Eesrot Office of Board of Road Commissioners, Macon, Ga., Dec. 24,1680. Mr. President and Gentlemen : The committee appointed at our lost meeting to draft suitable resolutions ot regret at the death ot our esteemed friend, James Wing field Nisbet, feel tbeir inability to express their deep sorrow at an cveut that has caused so much sadness to this commu nity. Mr. Nisbet died at Bloomfield, in this county, Friday night, November 0th 1880. He was a native of Oswichee, Ala., a son of F. A Nisbet, Esq., and a brother of our esteemed fellow citizeu, tbe Hon. Robt. A. Nisbet, of Bibb. Death, although it may come with its spring flowers, or in summer with its green leaves, or even iu autumn with its golden foliage, it is always with the chill ing desolation of winter that relatives and friends mourn their lossoftnose they love. As one ol the Board of Road Commission' ers we remember our deceased comrade as one of the most prompt, efficient and influential members ot tbe beard—always courteous, always attentive, we may well deplore bis loss in tbe deliberations of this body. It is In his home, though, that his loss will be most keeuly felt. Iu tbo sacred family circle, wbero man’s purest traits are destined to shiue with the greatest spleudor, bis affectionate kindness aud protection will be missed. To those bereaved ones we exterd our heartfelt sympathy. To his friends, we would point to his honorable and useful career, and bid them follow tbe example of liis usefulness and the precepts of bis faithful ness in all of bis dealings. The committee would, furthermore, beg to offer the following: Resolved, That in the death of Mr. James W ingfleld Nisbet this board has lost one of its most worthy and intelligent members, one who, in life, we loved and respected, aud whose death we deeply de plore; that we tender to Ins kindred and friends our heartfelt condolence; that we inscribe upon the minutes of this meeting these resolutions, and upon our hearts the fondest memories of our deceased frieml and comrade; tnat a c >py of the same, to gether with this report be furnished to the Telegraph and Messenger and the Macon Dailg Herald for publication, aud that an official copy be seut by the secre tary to liis family. With this, the com mittee feel that it lias but faintly express ed the sentiments of tbe members of this board, except in tbe earnestness aud sin. eerily which they feel tbe duty is per formed. Respecttiilly submitted, N- M. Hodgkins, H. L. Cook, Ji B. Davis. On motion, tbe above report of Messrs. Hodgkins, Cook and Davis was received and approved, and tbe resolutions therein ofl’ered were unanimously passed. It W. G. Smith, Sec’y. Marl: Twain Insane. A Hartford correspondent of the Sun re' veals tbe painful fact that Mark Twain (Mr. Clemens) has become subject to spells of mental delirium (styled melan cholia) and describes one of them which occurred on Christmas, day as follows: So I proceeded through the damp, chilly air and slushy mud of Christinas morning to Twain’s bright red mansion and rang the door bell. Was Mr. Clem ens at home? Xo, not exactly. That was to say, ho wasn’t in the house; I might find him yonder in the north yard, behind the barn. I turned up the bottoms of my trousers, and trudged through the mud and snow to the place indicated by tbe domestic. There I dis covered the humorist, standing on an empty dry-goods box. His posture was very erect. His arms were tightly pressed against his sides. He wore a long ulster, reaching to his ankles, and on his head a high peaked hat, procured during his travels in tbe Tyrol. His face was solemn. “Hello, Mark,” said I; “what are you doing on that box? Merry Christmas!” He sillily inclined his head. “Didn’t you know,'* he demanded, in slow,grave tones, “that! antedate the Christian era by many centuries ? What in thunder do you mean by talking Christmas in my pres ence ? ” “Come, come,” said I, “no joking. Get down off the box and go to where it’s warm.” “If you refer to the pedestal,” ho re plied, “I can’t get down unless I’m low ered. And as to the temperature, it has little effect on a monolith, seasoned as I am seasoned.” “You look like a monolith,” I admitted, “In that ulster aud that hat.” “You really think so ? ” he eagerly asked. His features relaxed to an expres sion something like complacency, and he sat down npou the edge of the box and began to drum against the side with his heels. “You really believe I’m tbe gen uine, only original obelisk ? ” . “Obelisk!” said I. “I saw the obelisk day before yesterday in New York. They’ve got it as far as the trestlework. You’re a humorist, not an obelisk.” Mark Twain immediately ascended the box again, while his features once more assumed their stony look. “Yon have been Imposed upon,” be remarked with great dignity. “That thing in New York is bogus. It is a practical joke of Gor- ringes. It is a Cardiff giant of an obe lisk, a composite, plaster fraud concocted on the voyage over, and palmed off on an unsuspecting community. The real obe lisk was shipped to Hartford by Freight No. 27, New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, You behold it at this identical moment.” 1 took off my hat. Thisseemed to please him a good deal. “Excuse me,” lie went on, “If I am a trifle touchy on the subiect. Every mon olith is naturally sensitive when his au thenticity is called in question. Don’t I appear stiff and hard enough to satisfy the most skeptical?” “You look stiff and hard enough,” said I, “but where are your hieroglyphics? That’s the test of a true obelisk—the hieroglyphics.” “Just what I expected,” be returned, with some show of f eeling. “There don’t appear to be any hieroglyphics, perhaps you think. Singular, but I’d noticed the fact myself, and it’s given me considerable concern. D—n those hieroglyphics I” he continued, getting excited. “I don’t know what to make of it. Sometimes I think Gorringe took ’em and plastered ’em oote, his sham shaft. Then I think Marshall Jewell’s stolen ’em for a telegraphic ci pher. Then again I surmise that they’ve merely struck in, and will blossom out again as soon as I’ve got acclimated. But you’ll allow that it’s putting a respectable• Egyptian antiquity at a disadvantage to I steal bis hieroglyphics. Any fool can come along and say, ‘You’re no obebsk; where the d—1 are your hieroglyphics?’” ABHiamlaWUeh IUUsm ot 1M> lars tie laves ted—Tbe History of Its Oriffl*-—Eoenaeos Profits Had* —A Talk With rrsf Ckaadlsr In the course of a lawsuit brought in Batavia, New York, to determine the ownership of certain shares in the Buffalo Grape Sugar Company, it was shown last week that tbe profits of the business now amount to about $1,000,000 a year upon a capital of $400,000. The lact that enor mous quantities of grape sugar or glucose are sold, and that the business has at least doubled every year for tbe last five years, nutil at present all the starch factories turn out more or less of the product; that several vast establishments are building for the pmpose of manufacturing glu cose, one in Detroit and one in Chicago; and that the adulterations in which glu cose is used are now recognized among merchants, induced a reporter of tbe Evening Post to inquire into the history and extent of the glucose business. Sugar merchants who mix glucose with their su gar are careful about giving facts and fig ures, but all admitted that its use was widespread, aud increasing every day. . In 1867, a German chemist named Goesling arrived in New York with a se cret process of producing syrup from corn at small cost, about twenty gallons of syr up being obtained from-one busbel of com. The corn was first made into starch, which, after treatment with sul phuric acid, was run through marble dust In order to extract the acid, after which it was purified with boue black and boiled to any desired consistency. Dr. Goesling interested some'New York capitalists anc. sugar merchants iu bis process, and sold the patents to a company called the Un ion Sugar Company, for $500,000. The Union Sugar Company had been organ ized especially to make the new kind of sugar, and immediately erected works and began business. Prosperity was too much tor Dr. Goesling, who died before tbe first batch of syrup was turned out. No one thought at that time of making solid glu cose; the syrup was all that the Union Sugar Company intended to produce. When the first barrels of the new syrup were produced the appearance was excel lent, and the stockholders congratulated themselves upon having possession of a gold mine. Unfortunately tbo new product had defects, tho chief among which was that it would not “staqd,” as the syrup men say; it solidified and can died, becoming a solid, waxy mass, which was unsalable. Dr. Goesling had ap parently forgotten to tell the company his method of making tho syrup “stand.” He had known somo method of doing this, but his secret died with him. After several ineffectual and costly attempts to solve the difficulty the Uniou Sugar Com pany gave up business, having lost about $1,000,000, and sold tbe product of can died syrup on band to tbe Tribune Asso ciation at $2 a barrel, for the purpose of making ink rollers. When Dr. Goesling sold his patents to the New York company a Buffalo com pany had already bought from Goesling the right to use his process in Buffalo. The Buffalo company met with the same diffi culty that the Union Sugar Compauy ex perienced—their product candied. But lustead of giving up the manufacture they went to work to fiml out to what use the candied glucose could bo put. In the first place it was found that the glucoso syrup, it mixed with low-grade black molasses, made an excellent golden syrup, which, while not so sweet as refined Cuba syrup, was as good in appearance and sold as well. As glucose syrup could bo pro duced for half the cost of sugar syrup, tbe saving effected by mixing the two was enormous. In the next place if glucose syrup was allowed to candy and harden, it was fouud that it could be ground up and mixed witli low-grade, dark-brown su gars, tbo mixture having the ap pearance and qualities of refined light brown sugar, with tbe exception that it was not so sweet as refined sugar. From small beginnings tbe business of tbe Buf falo company grew to importance. The glucose could be produced from corn at the rate thirty pounds of glucose, worth 3£ cents per pound, from one bushel of com, besides which the refuse from each busliel of corn brought 5 cents when sold as stock food. One of the witnesses in tho suit mentioned in the beginning of this article testified that he mixed from to 12 to 20 per centum of glucose iu his sugar, selling the mixture at a good profit under the name of “new process sugars.” He sold more than two hundred barrels a day of this sugar. Upon referring to several Wall street sugar merchants tho reporter found that while the use of glucose in vast quantities was admitted, tho mixers, as they are called to distinguish them from sugar re finers, are uot anxious to have much light thrown upon the business. The refiners are not mixers. Tlley sell sugar only just as the Buffalo compauy sell glucose only. The mixers buy of both aud mix to suit themselves. Several firms do this sort of business exclusively, calling the product “new process sugars.” The Evening Post reporter was referred to a certain Mr. A. as a gentleman known to be engaged iu mixing sugars. Mr. A. said that be bad heard a great deal of late about mixing glucose in sugar, but that he knew nothing about it himself. If the reporter would go across the street to Mr. B. he would find out all about it, for Mr. B.’s business consisted of mixing glucose with cane sugar. Mr. B. had also heard a good deal about tbe glucose adulteration, but could not himself say bow much of it was done or by whom. But if the reporter went across tho street to Mr. A. he would find out all about it, for that was Mr. A.’a business. The result of the reporter’s investigation was to the eflect that about 12 per cent, of the sugar sold in Wall street was glucose or grape sugar. As the value of the sugar refined in this city aud Brooklyn is about $60,000,000 a year, it follows that about $7,000,000 worth of glucose must be bought and sold every year by Wall street sugar and syrup merchants. One firm, whose business is selling syrups, ad mitted at once that glucose syrup was used in their business, and contended that it was a legitimate use or nature’s prod ucts, the mixed syrups being belter liked by bis easterners than tha pure syrup, which was too sweet to be pleasant. Having been told that glucose In sugar had a baa effect upon the health of the consumer, and that, therefore, it was worse than a mere assault upon the pocket, the reporter next sought out Prof. Chandler, of tbe Board of Health, who scouted the notion that glucose in sugar was unhealthy. “Wo eat glucose with ere y mouthful we take; every bit of starchy food we take turns into glucose. There is glucose in every fruit and a cer tain qaautity in tbe best of sugars. Be cause' saccharine particles are found in diabetes, people jump to the conclusion that it Is glucose. Again, they hear that sulphuric acid is used in making glucose, and they are horrified. They might as well bo afraid of getting some of the iron oft tho hoe with which their potatoes are dug up as to be afraid of the sulphuric acid used in making glucose. Ido not believe that sugar refiners sell or export glucose. I have analyzed samples of sugar sent to me by government officers whosuspected certain exporters of defrauding the governmeut In the following manner: When raw sugar is imported it pays a duty, and If it is not sold here, but only refined and exported again, a part of the duty on that sugar is refunded. But tbe government did not wish to return money on exported glucose, which of course bad paid no import duty. I analyzed many samples by means of a device invented by Dr. Rickets, of the Columbia College School of Mines, and myself, and found no tram of fraud. So long as tbe mixtrs only put one part of glucose to five parts of sugar there- need be no trouble. When they get to mixing one pert of sugar to five parte of glucose u may be time for some one to protest-”— N. Y. Evening Post. The best sidewalks are in the middle of tbe streets.

MUTUAL LIFE IBSUEAtfCE. A Road Better Than the If aeon and Knoxville, and fer Lest Money. Editors Telegraph and Messenger:— A few years ago tbe people of Macon be came so deeply concerned about a railroad from this point to Knoxville, Tennessee, that a company was organized for the pur pose, and a preliminary sutvey made of a part of the route. It was conceeded by ail that such a road would be of immense advantage to Macon by creating a new line of communication with the coal re gions of Tennessee and indirectly with the great West. The project, however, seems cow to be entirely abandoned for lack of available capital to cany it out. The ex pense would be enormous,both on account of the necessary length of the road (about 200 miles) ana the character of the coun try through which It would pass. But while it is more than probable that we shall never have a Macon and Knox ville road, I think it quite practicable for us to have another road even more desir able and at infinitely less cost. It lias been authoritatively announced that Rome aud Chattanooga will soon be directly counected by the completion of the Rome and Chattanooga railroad. If now a road is built from Rome to Carrollton, —a distance of about forty miles—Macon will be in direct communication with Chattanooga by a route entirelj inde pendent of the State road. That is to say; only forty miles of road are needed to give us a new chain of connection with east Tennessee and the West. By refer ence to the map, the several links in this chain can be seen at a glance: Macon to Griffin, Griffin to Carrollton, Carrollton to Rome, Rome to Chattanooga. I will not now enlarge upon the bene fits that would accrue to Macon by the es tablishment of two competing lines to Chattanooga. Chattanooga is the key to the West. Whatever facilitates and cheap ens transportation from Chattanooga to this point, brings us nearer to the graua- ries anti pork houses of the West. Chattanooga also commands the coal fields of east Tennessee. At this par ticular juncture, no argument is needed to siiow tho Importance of multiplying our connections with the coal mines. The present scarcity of fuel in Macon teaches the lesson in a language which the sim plest caii understand. Tbe State road cannot keep Atlanta supplied with coal, and, as a consequence, the people of that enterprising city are clamoring loudly for the building of the Georgia Western road, To open to them the coal beds «f Alabama. If the Georgia Western is built—and it doubtless will be, for the people of Atlanta have a way of carrying their point—it will intersect with the line I have above indi cated, connecting this point with Chatta nooga. Thus Macon will not only have an additional line of communication with East Tennessee, but will also be very directly connected with tho coal region of Alabama. In a word, all tbe arguments in favorof the Macon aud Knoxville road would ap ply with Increased force to the establish ment of tlie Macon and Chattanooga route above described. Chattanooga is a far better terminal point than Knoxville. Macon has the recent example of Augusta to stimulato her enterprise in this matter. That city has just recognized the impor tance of improving her connection with the West by subscribing $250,000 to the Augusta aud Knoxville road. Vox. The Angel of Death. A Pittsburg d.spatch says: “This is sad and mournful Christmas for tbo little town ot Haulsdale, Clearfield county, in this State. Tho angel of death is holding high carniual in that fearful scourge, scar let fever, aud is rapidly thinning and des olating every household in the place. Eighteen children died yesterday from this terrible disease, aud this morning many new cases are'reported. It is but a few days since the first case was reported, and already thirty deaths have resulted from the fatal fever. Physicians have been summoned from all tbe neighboring towns. Tho few doctors here were all overworked, and could not possibly attend to all demands upon them. Thero is scarcely a family in town which is not plunged into tire deepest grief over the deatti of their children. Heretofore the health of the town has been excellent and the doctors are at a loss to account for the fearful ravages of tbe dread disease. Knew When to Quit.—“I think may be excused for a little show of pride in saying that I knew when to quit Wall street,” he observed, as an elevated train carried litm over the great thoroughfare. “You used to speculate, eh?” “Yes; I was on the street for seven years.” “Made your pile, 1 suppose?” “Yes; I made and lost money as the rest. At one time I could draw my check for $93,000, and that wasn’t so bad for a man who went into Wall street with only $40 in his pocket.” “And you knew when to quit?” “Yes, sir.” “That was when—when—?” “That was when I had enough left to pay my fare to Elmira and hire a boy to carry my satchel up to my father-in-law’s house!” was the quiet reply.—Wall 8lreet News. An Eleutric Eel.—The bark St Lawrence, which arrived a few days ago from Demerara, has on board an electric eel, which it is proposed to present to Druid Hill Park collection. The eel, which was caught in Demerara, is three feet long and two inches thick, and is kept in a tub ot water. The characteris tics of these eels are well known. They are so heavily charged with the electric fluid that they can by contact koock down or stun, and in many cases kill tbe strong est man or beast. A gentleman who touched the one in question with bis um brella, the ferule of which is iron, felt the electric current very perceptibly,—Baliq more Sun. Sellable Wall Street Broker*.

BanwUMi tor All Who are IitairS to IS* Lodges a! tkU City. 3. H. Alexander, in a communication on the sutyect of “Mutual Life Insurance,” In tbe Auguaia Chronicle, gives expression to some suggestions of deep interest to the hundreds in Macon who belong to these beneficial orders. As tbe subject is one of importance to a large.class, we present herewith bis views: “Life insurance iu the mutual benefit associations bas become a matter of much general interest aud discussion in Augus ta recently, by reason of several new or ders being introduced among us, and tbe presence of canvassing agents iu our midst. There are a thousand young and middle aged men here belonging to the several organizations already established, and a thousand more are going into the several new ones. The many thousand wives, children and dependents of the men of our community are vitally interested and concerned that no unwise investments of this nature be made. “I write to suggest that the multiplicity of these orders is a ground for fear and doubt. New ones have increased so fast and the competition grows so active that each one is virtually arrayed agsinst the other, each draws material away from the other, and tbe new ones are the enemies of the old ones. Let the members of the older orders, the Knights of Honor and Arcanum,consider this,vie w of the case,and see if by affording aid and encouragement to the new aasociations they are not lay ing the mine orpit that will eventuate in a common downfall of the old and new. The dangers are: First, that under tbe in ducements and persuasion our men of small means will overload themselves with insurance, become dissatisfied with the assessments that will inevitably increase and not be able to meet yearly tbe pay ments, and so fall out of oneor all orders. Second, the competition leads to taking bad risks in new orders, which is fatal to all; and third, the competition is expensive, ex hausting the reserve funds in paying so licitors, advertising, etc. In regard to this matter of soliciting agents, none of the mutual orders can afiord to pay them out of honest mutual funds; and if it coaid be afforded it is yet too dangerous a system, because agents who are paid to travel at so much per capita for new members will, by reason of the temptation to make money, and for want of acquaintance among the people of the communities lie visits, take bad risks; let in men who would never get into any regular life compauy. Mutual effort of friends among friends in each locality, and where eacli one bas main hope in the good of the or der, is the surest reliance for safe and healthy increase of membership. “Being myseif a member of the Knights major domo of the establishment. To visitors who were strangers Mrs. Sprague would expatiate upon her friend Mr. Conk ring, bringing in his name even when unnecessary, as though she gloried In tbe fact that their names were linked together. Mrs. Sprague, as well as Mr. Coukllug, bas braved so much that they are not in the least sensitive, and, as I before said, they succeed in all their worldly undertakings, and as long as that is tbe case they are indifferent to publie opinion. Senators who have guaetpral won’t hesitate to shield Mr. Conkliug, it necessary. From political motives some will lie in his favor, and others from pru dential motives, lest be say, “Yon are another.” And so, no matter about the verdict, Mr. Conkling will boss New York politics, aud as long ss there is a necessity for protecting Mrs. Sprague it will be done, and that, too, by meu who are careful of the good name of their own wires aud daughters. Tne President and his wife have acted throughout this scandal with great tact and good judgment. Tbe have braved the ire of Senator Conk ling, aud Mrs. Sprague has never entered the White House during this administration. It remains to be seen what course Gen. and Mrs. Gar field will pursue after tbe 4th of March. Gen. Garfield may not care to antagonize the New York Senator, and that gentle man’s ultimatum is always, “will you re ceive Mrs. Sprague?” The refusal of Mrs. Conkling and her daughter to invite Mrs. Sprague to the latter’s wedding was re sented by the Senator to the extent of ab senting himself on the occasion and a re fusal to speak to his daughter afterward. When lie wished to smoothe liis mffled plumage prior to the State convention in New Yoric last February, he commanded his wifeto come to Washington and drive in an open carriage with Mrs. Sprague and dine with her. If she obeyed he said he would call to see his daughter aud be reconciled to her. The iujured, patient wife meekly submitted, and came to the Riggs House, where she passed five days. Mrs. Sprague drove in he.* carriage to the hotel and sent iu her card to Mrs. Couk- ling. She was received. Next, the two ladies rode together through the principal streets of the city. Tbe last move iu the game was the dinner. Many were bidden, but excuses made by all but Judge Swayne, Judge Field (but not their wives), Mrs. Hamilton Smith, a Mrs. Barrett, a young mau, member of Congress from Rhode Island, Mrs. Sprague, Senator and Mrs. Conkliug. These comprised the guests. The hostess or Mr. Conkliug caused the dinner to be written up for the press in tho most lavish style, witb lull descriptiou or the piinutest details. Mr. Conkliug considered this the ABLEST BIT OF STRATEGY of his life; but when the martyr wife was goue and all was understood, it was con sidered tlie flimsiest structure ever erect ed. The whole thing toppled over, and of Honor and of the Arcanum, two ofthe hlSmJTSw th .„d be., established „,de„ * .bis to an uncomplaining wife. Nevertheless Mr. Conkling carried the convention for kind in the couutry, believing that both of them are so far in a sound and healthy condition, and giving us, for tbe time be ing, cheap and reliable life insurance at cost—the Arcanum, particularly, appear- ibg to be as well managed at tho head quarters, aud in its details of money mat ters, as any order could be—I fear harm only to these orders by the active canvass ing going on in behalf of new and untried schemes of tho mutual nature. And I in voke the aid of every member of the older orders to see to it that the good material in our city be not taken away from us, to our injury. Wo have lodges enough to give choice to all, and if we let them know the advantages we offer aud the secure hope they give us for our families, no one will be easily led into new or different schemes to gain the same ends.” PAD Csrei A Suplj Bj Witkwl /-Jp's Atarp- ftS) tin Th* Onlf Tx&s Malarial Antidote Dm, HoisMAS’s Pan it ooness-wark remedy— no feeble imitative expedveoi—ce p&rfeiDai bodge-podge of tome olh-r mnnm'i Idee*; it to th* Origin*! and only GENUINE CURATlfN PAD, tbe ooly leuody that he* m honestly ac quired right to aw the title- word “PAD** in ena- reetioo with e treatment for chrome dlieate* of thc Stomach.

Thursday Was a capital day at Sandown, socially considered. Tbe weather was The Great Bird Kelt Of fhe Welt, brilliant, recalling a bit of early spring, The most notable pigeon roost In the with suushins and no east winds. Pretty West Is located iu the southwestern part of Scott county, Indiana, and covers many hundreds of acres of the forest. To this roost come nightly, in the fall season, when pigeons are abundant, millions of these birds. They commence arriving as early as 5 o’clock in the evening, and often until midnight the flocks pour in. The birds commence leaving at daylight, and by 8 or 9 o’clock all have departed for tlie feeding grounds, often hundreds of miles away. During the roosting season thU pigeon roost is a notable and exciting place. Hunters visit it from all parts of Indiana, and from Ohio and Kentucky. They come armed with shotguns and long poles, and supplied with torches aud sacks, the latter to be used in carrying off the captured birds. The hunters usually commence their work about 8 o’clock iu the eveulng, and thence od through the night the scene is an exciting one. The roar of shotguns is heard on all sides. Added to this Is the crackling and falling ofthe limbs of the trees from tbe accumu lated weight of the pigeons upon them. Torches flash on all sides through the for est, the crash of the long poles through the lower limbs of the trees as they sweep down the birds, tlie shouts of tiie hunters and the whir of the wings of the rising and setting flocks create confusion worse confouuded. Thousands of birds are killed nightly, and during the day droves of bogs roam through the woods to fatten on the killed aDd wounded birds left on the ground during the night's fo ray. At intervals of mauy years the pig eons change their roosting place, but nev er locate far away from tbe old roost. A week ago they made a change, taking new quarters a few miles distant from the former roost. This change was made iii the night. The Scott county pigeon roost has been a famous resort for more than eighty years. Near this roost, the most famous Indian massacre that ever occurred in this part of the State took place in September, 1812. A party of marauding Pottawatomies out on the warpath, attacked the Pigeon-roost set tlement, at that time the most remote in the In this direction from tbe falls of the Ohio, and murdered all the settlers but five—two members of the family of John Collins and Mrs Beadle and her two little children—Mrs. Beadle flying with the children iu her arms and secreting herself and them In a sink hole till the Indians had gone, when she took the children in her arms and ran to tbe nearest settlement, six miles away, and gave the alarm. The Power of Faith—Dr. John Brown, of Edinburgh, once gave a laborer a prescription, sayiug: “Take that, and ccmc back in a fortnight, when you will be well.” Obedient to the injunction, the patient preseuted himself at tbe fortnight's end with a clean tongue and a happy face. Proud of the fulfillment of his promise, Dr. Brown said: “Let me see what I gave yon.” “Oh,” answered the man, “1 took i t, Doctor.” “Yes, I know yon did; but where is tbe prescription?” “I swallowed it,” was the reply. The patient had made a pill of the paper, and faith in the physician's skill had done the rest. Faith Js a rare wonder-worker. Strong in the belief that every Frank is a doctor, an old Arab, who had been partially blind from birth, pestered an English traveler into giving him a seldHta powder and some pomatam. Next day the chief declared that be coaid see better than he had done, for twenty yean. Tho Cenklin? Scandal. Fay, the lively Washington correspond ent of the Courier-Journal, in a letter dated the 27th, says: The Sprague-Conkling scandal has broken out, and occupies public attention. No matter what is alleged on cither side, nobody will be damaged in the estimation of those who intend to stick to denials of everything, and who, for political reasons, will extol both Mr. Conkling and Mrs. Sprague. I know good women who are doing it, aud they intend to stand by the jrincipal actors. Here is a sample: When ihe assertion was made that Mrs. Sprague accompanied Mr. Conkliug to the Chicago convention the shield cf Mrs. Don Camer on’s society was alleged as protection. It is denied that she traveled with him in his private car in Ohio and In diana. Next she is with him at Buf falo, which is no sooner reported than Mr. Crowley, a member of Congress, who lives near Buffalo, comes to'the front, takes Mrs. Sprague to his home and lie ana his wife give her an entertainment. Mr. Crowley lias all this announced in the papers; that Mrs. Sprage is liis guest, and that Buffalo was distracted to do homage to this paragon, but that, ill- health and anxiety concerning tlie health ot one of her little girls prevented her ac cepting Buffalouian hospitality. Tlie sequel of this has since been developed. Lord Uoscoe Intends to reward the subser vience of Crowly with a seat in the Uni ted States Senate. It is strange that astute men don’t see that they concede everything when they court favors from Mr. Conkling through attentions and pecuniary assistance to lira. Sprague; if that lady had cared to £ reserve the respect of her father's old lends, coaid she uot easily Iiave dene so by living at Edgowood and educating her children instead of permitting politicians to pay the rent of an expensive house in the city, and also keep a retinue of ser vants, carriage, and other expenses ? Last winter Mr. Conkling was her daily visitor, and hi* servant, who la so peculiar look ing that he is unmistakable, was toilets were abundant, and eccentricity seemed less rampant tban during early meetings. Perhaps winter clothing allows less scope in that direction. I noticed an entire costume of mulberry-colored plush, relieved by cream-colored chrysanthe mums in the bonnet, and cream-colored lace and flowers on the muff. All tbe dresses were short, aud either feet have grown more pretty of late, or boot-makers more clever. Wnicliever it may be, the result is decidedly good. A champagne, colored velvet jacket made a sensation, dividing the interest of the fairer portion of the assemblage, with “Miss Kate," simultaneously with whose rather un expected triumph .the jacket ap peared on the scene. It fitted very rightly and was edged with sable, the dress and bonnet being of dsrk-browu velvet. Ruby velvet appearsto be a favoritestuff for dress es this winter. There were several on the lawn, one of them being thickly trimmsd witb gold braid and gold cord. Such a dress would have been too much for most women, but it suited the tall, handsome, brown-haired girl who had ventured upou it. But why sapphire ear-rings? Small as they were, they were a great mistake. 1 noted a greater quantity of “gems” than good taste usually permits with afternoon toilets. I concluded that the fair wearers had been reading “Endymion.” A dainty littlo lady distinguished herself in the chiffon liue by wearing a bonnet and mulf both entirely composed of pink and dark-red chrysanthe mums. The effect was pretty and festive, though not exactly warm or comfort-sug gesting. Is it a fact that the majority of tbe long brocaded velvet coats now worn hare to be unbuttoned before the wearer can sit down? Tbe buttons are so numer ous that it must have its disadvantages. The prettiest dress, to my thiukiug, was entirely of black. Velvet and plush ap peared to be the principal .ingredients, with showers of jet and chenille fringe. The short coat, cut like a man’s, and fit ting to perfection, had large black velvet flowers raised on a ground of white satin, and white Christmas roses were in the lit tle black velvet or plush bonnet. Ladies will be glad to hear that “fluttered frog” it the name of tbe last new color; it is rather lighter than “frightened toad” or “angry mouse.”—London Truth. threat.

A Sainted Martyr's Bonks The Jesuit Fathers in charge of St. Joseph’s German Catholic Church are preparing for a solemn ceremony which will take place to-morrow evening. They have al ways desired to possess the bones ot a saint, and, last year, when Fattier Techie- den, the former pastor of the church, was in Rome, he secured the remains of St. Justicus, who is supposed to be a martyr ofthe fourth century. The bones were removed from tbe catacombs on the 25th of August, 1761, and they come here with all signs of authenticity.
