ESTHETIC.
Miss Alma Delsart was presumably smart—
Ab being of Boston extraction:
She doted on art, imd wna up in her part
As a very (esthetic attraction.
X ne’er can forget that the first time we
When wearied I canto from the bureau,
She said I resembled her dear lintoret—
“So full of ‘chiaro oecnro.’
»Twas flattering, quite, to be Judged in this
light—
./Esthetics oft make us receptive-.
So I sat very uoar her that beautiful night
And worshiped her charming perspect
ive.
Bho once grow so fine over sculpture di
vine,
And her eyes wore so sweet an expres
sion, , ,
It was hard to decline, ns her glances met
To make a most tender confession.
Yet somehow I found, as the weeks rolled
around,
I could not get on with my mission;
For just as I'd enter on definite ground
She’d talk of Del Sarto or Titian.
Become more astute ns I hurried my suit,
I saw her grow fondly fantastic,
But felt she could smile on most any hir-
Who had dono something ugly—and plas
tic.
Then, feeling my chains, I in passionate
strains
Wrote of love which was true, if not mys-
tic;
And this the reply I received for my pains:
“Your offer is highly artistic.”
It may be her conduct was not well ad
vised,
Though malice I never can harbor;
Yet I will confoss I was somewhat sur-
prised , . «
When she wedded an artist—a barber.
Nearly $58,000 worth of real estate
was sold at Augusta last Tuesday. More,
perhaps, the Chronicle says, than at any
previous sale.
We learn from the Augusta News, of
Wednesday afternoon, that lh" Rev. Dr.
Irvine, the Presbyterian minister of that
City, is critically HI. He was found that
morning “by his servant, in his bed, not
only uuable to speak but insensible to any
pain whatever. This condition is un
changed, despite the best medical atten
tion. His physicians thi nk the symptoms
point either-to paralysis or cougestiou of

A Remarkable Occurrence.—The
Thomson Journal prints the following:
“About one jeir ago, Virgil Bacon, col
ored, of this county, was the subject of a
singular experience. Returning from
work one night he pulled off his heavy
boots and placed them in a corner of the
room. Into one of these boots his little
sou dropped a small pocket knife. The
next morning Virgil put on his boots and
wore them through the day without ex
periencing any inconvenience from the
presence of the kulfe; but when he pulled
them off at night the knife dropped out,
and it was found that one of the blades
was gone. Virgil examined his foot and
discovered a small cut at the bottom, but
as it did not pain or trouble him he paid
no attention to It. Several months after
wards a painful protuberance appeared on
tlie back side of liis heel, for which he
was uuable to account, and so be applied
to Dr. Durham lor advice and treatment.
The doctor soon discovered the presence
of a foreign body in the negro’s heel, and
making an incision disclosed and drew
out the missing blade of the knife which
had been dropped Into Virgil’s boot. The
strangest thing about this occurrence is
that the full length of the knife blade
could have penetrated and worked
through the foot without giving him pain
or even attracting his notice.
We quote as follows from the Atlanta
Post-Appeal: There was oro man, it is
staled, who was wounded by one of Joe
Brown’s pikes during the earl r part of the
war. He now lives in Allan*.;' on Peters
streetand his name is Bhthiud Yancy.
Mr. Yancy was engaged grim ing one of
the weapons when it flew out of bis hands
striking him so as to cut his arm off be
low the elbow. He is the only man who
wa3 hurt with ono of these weapons, so
far as known.
Raising Cotton fob the Exposi
tion.—Colonel O. B. Howard, of Carteis-
ville, has got several trenches out at the
fair grounds filled with thousands of pa
per bags that contain earth, in which he
has planted cotton seed, so as to have an
early crop for the cotton exposition. The
paper bags hold about one quart. The
trenches containiug the bags are about
three feet wide and one deep. A layer of
cotton seed is placed in the bo .tom of the
trenches to tlie depth of two inches to
generate heat and draw moisture, and
then the paper bags are packed in closely
together, where they will remain until ilie
new cotton plants get to be eight or ten
inches high. Then tbe paper bags, each
containing a plant, will he taken and
transplanted in a field near by.
The Warreuton Clipper reports the fol
lowing terrible murder, which it says was

During the lato freshet in the Chatta

“quite a number of human skulls and
other bones were unearthed along its

“Do you know positively that the”Lou

through me. I’m operating for ‘Jeeuies’
and nobody else. Tim main buying has
been done through Biaucli and Cohen, of
Augusta. These (inns bare boughtJieav-
lly and shipped tlie stock to New York,
where 11 went to Cisco & Co., who are
known to be Louisville and Nashville
men. I do not tliluk Ilie Augusta bro
kers have had orders to buy at all. I think
they just get up big lots and offer it to the
New York parties, when it is taken or re
fused, as the case may Du. Of course we
all know that it is the Louisville aud
Nash; ilie, and yet we have no right to
say so positively. They have certainly
for Ned Jones.
The Atlanta Post-Appeal learns from
“Mr. Wellborn E. Martin, tbe grand-son-
lu-Iaw of Judge Hiram Warner, that the
patient sufferer has not improved in the last
few days. He is entirely helpless, aud it
seems only a question of time how soon he
will wear out. His ultimate recovery
not looked for by his relatives.”
The same paper states that the mayor
and council of Atlanta have been iudicted
by the grand jury of that county “for
erecting and maintaining a public nuis
ance,” in tbe shape of a stock pon.
While Mr. Charles Cole, of Atlanta,
was playing billiards in tbe Kimball
House, on Thursday, a large piece of ceil
quit buying for the past day, and the stock n ‘g fell on him, seriously injuring his
}il« ilrannud in fYifrtffniiffnivtin oninn

“Well, we would naturally suppose
about the 11th Inst., as tbat is tbe day on
winch the transfer books are dosed, and
men who intend to vote stock at the May
meeting must have it on that day. But
this is not essential, because a man might
buy even after the lltli, and vote the
stock by simply buying a proxy with the
stock. So the fight for ilie contract may
be carried up to tbe very day of the May
meet ing, or it may lie abandoned to-
moirow. It is a very dangerous expert
men: to operate in Georgia stock just now
as tlie fluctuations are liable to be very
viol "iil. Iftlie Louisville am! Nashville
get control of the road it will be their
policy—just ns they did in the Nashville
ami Chattanooga stock—to free* ; out tlie
minority stockholders. To do this they
will rail to pay dividends aud throw down
the priee of the slock.”

suffered. Saturday night, or Sunday
morning, very early,he took an overdose of
morphine, from which he died. Whether
It was done with suicidal intent or by
mistake it is not known; but the pre
sumption Is that lio did not know how
much he was taking.

The Clement Attachment.—A cor
respondent of the Barnesville Gazelle,
who has lately examined one in operation
at Seuola, comes to this conclusion about
it:
After a thorough investigation, I am
constrained to say that it auy community
of farmers contemplate buying a Clement
attachment, they contemplate doing a
foolish act. The Atlanta Constitution, in
a late issue, boasts of being the first to
give prominence to thq Clement attach
ment. What the Constitution has said,
and does say about the Clement attach
ment, is all bosh. The Constitution
knows not what it is talking about. The
Clement attachment is one of “H. W. G.’s
facts.” All who wish to take the advice
of the Constitution can do so. If one
does, he’ll not regret it but once thereaf
ter, and that will be always. I repeat
that any set of farmers who will Invest in
a Clement attachment will act unwisely.
A Clement attachment can be run so as
to not lose money, but farmers can’t do it,
the Constitution to the contrary, notwith
standing.
He gives the following figures, which
will be of interest as proving his point
made above:
The trouble with tbe Clement attach
mentis Its slowness. Think of it—12
hours to gin 600 pounds of cotton 1 And
it takes a 60-saw attachment to do that.
One Clement attachment will gin enough
cotton to feed 350 spindles. Tlie attach
ment and spindles together, with other
machinery necessary to make it service
able, will cost about $5,000. It takes a
20-horse engine to run the attachment
and machinery. Suppose now 600 pounds
or seed cotton make 200 pounds of thread.
Rating cotton at 10 cents per pound the
cotton In the first place would cost $20.
Allowing 20 eenta a pound for the thread,
tlie profit would be $20 per day. Out of
this gross profit must be taken expense of
running engine and expense of running
machinery. Mr. Barnes, who runs a
Clement attachment in Senoia, ha* one
engineer, one foreman In factory, one
man, two grown women, one large girl,
three liitle girls, one boy and a ne
gro man. The engineer told me it took
two cords of wood a day to feed the
engine. The expense of running tbe at
tachment is, therefore, not less than $10
per day. And again there are $5,000 in
vested m machinery, $1,500 In a 20-horse
engine, $1,000 in the buildings, which,
aggregated, amount to $7,500. Three per
cent, of this amount is the insurance ex-
Wednesday by striking him on the head.
Puckett walked a considerable distance
before reaching home, where he sank on
tho floor and soon died. —•■
Says the Newnan Herald: Sometime
since Mr. Harry Fisher paid one hundred
and sixty dollars for a Jersey cow and
calf. He afterwards sold the calf to Ur.
Peddy for one hundred and twenty-fire
dollars. Mr. Fislier informs us that he
has refused two hundred and fifty dollars
for the row alone, and Dr* Peddy has
beeu offered two hundred dollars fur his
calf.
From the Hawkinsville Dispatch: An
other Pulaski farmer to tlie front! Mr.
William M. Anderson hauled into Haw
kinsville last Saturday forty hales of last
year’s crop of cotton. He is also one of
the men who sold country hams in this
market a few days ago.
There is indeed a wonderful difference
in the temperature of the weather this
season and that of last year at the same
time. One year ago to-day much of the
corn was “sided,” plowed out, and grow
ing finely. On the 6th day of March last
year John Fate & Co , started their foun
tain, and sold three hundred glasses of
soda water. Last Saturday morning ice
was plentiful, and was seen not only in
tubs aud pans, but in the gullies and
ponds.

A Murderous Assault.—'The Atlanta
Post-Appeal learns from Mr. Thomas A.
McKennon, a resident of Kirkwood, who
bad come to town in great baste after Dr.
Willis Westmoreland, the following par
ticulars of a dastardly and hmtel '*
.>4 o^uticman named J. 1. Ector,
who is a resident of Kirkwood, and a near
neighbor of Mr. McKiunon. Mr. McKin
non says that he bad his attention first
drawn to Ector’s place by the screams of
a negro woman, and hastening to the spot,
he found Mr. Ector lying on his back in an
insensible condition from a blow that he
had received across the bridge of the nose
from some sliarp-cornered instrument.
Ue also found that the blow had been
dealt by a negro boy, who gees by tbe
name or Squire Moore, and who is a son
of the woman who set up tbe screaming so
loudly. Our informant says that the
wound looks a3 though tho blow was
struck with the hack of an axe or the end
of a plank, having crashed in the nasal
bones. As soon os tho foul deed was
done, the negro left and went to Decatur,
but he was watched by Mr. McKinnon all
the way, while Ills father also proceeded to
Decatur and swore out a warrant for his
arrest. Moore was taken into custody
and lodged in DeKalb county jail to await
an investigation.
A Harris county farmer lias just re

A reporter of the Savannah Recorder
who Las doubtless “been there” liims^lf,
feelingly remarks that “a man might as
well attempt to interview a mute as Col.
Wadley on railroad business.”
We learn from tho Savannah News that
on last Wednesday. shortly after tho
height train on tlie Savannah and Charles
ton railway left Whitehall Station, tlie
“engineer noticed a colored man walking
alongside the track some distance ahead,
but, being out of danger, no particular at
tention was paid to him. When the train
was nearly up to liim, tlie engineer was
horror struck to see the man rash directly
in front of tbe engine, and, placing bis
hands on his head, throw himself down
with his neck resting on one of the rails.
It was too late to reverse tho engine, and
in a second tlie train rushed over him
severing his head from his body. Tho
train was stopped as soon as possible and
the body sent to Whitehall, and turned
over to the proper authorities. Tbe name
of the man, who is supposed to have been
insane, was not learned/'
The News, referring to the recent ru
mor that the Central road had secured
controlling interest in the Gcoigla road,
and that an alliance had been formed be
tween the Central Georgia and South
Carolina roads, which was hacked np by
tbe Louisiville and Nashville, adds:
The officials of the Central are very ret
icent over this rumored alliance, as is
their won], it being the wise policy of mat
line never to divulge any of its plans or
contemplated operations until they are
finally consummated. Indications,
however, strongly point to .tbe
fact tbat such alliance has virtually, if
not actually, beeu effected. The advance
in tbe stocks of the roads interested,
which we have noted, the general report

Honesty is tlio best policy in medL-
cine as well as in other things. Ayer’s
Sarsasparilla is a genuine preparation, an
unequalled spring medicine and blood pu
rifier, decidedly superior to all others in
' Ip
Georgia; that Mr. Moses .Taylor and hia
New York people hod purchased the con
trolling interest, and-that Mr. Wadley
had come to Augusta to take to thi3 new
f|(ignnin.
It was known, too, that Mr. Wadley and
several officials of the Georgia road had
been talking over the joint interests and
co-operation of the two routes during the
day, and that more than over was 6ome
closer bond of union advocated. Later
in the day, however, the report of tho
Central’s having purchaaed the Georgia
railroad was rigidly denied to high official
quarters.
Like the scribbler in Fattoitza, a Chron
icle man ventured into the thickest of the
fight, aud veered np to tho Planters Hotel,
where Mr. Wadley was stopping. After fin
ishing his repast, that venerable railroad
official appeared with the air of a man who
was at peace with the world—newspapers
included—at the same time beaming with
the quiet consciousness of one who has the
inside track.
THE MAN wno SELDOM TALKS.
“Young man," said Mr. Wadley, “1 never
talk for newspapers.”
The Chronicle ventured that to justice to
himself and railroad, he might venture
something to put at rest the vague rumors
and to allay even the prejudices of the sus
picious ones.
“What do they say?” asked Mr. Presi
dent.
“That your friends havo purchased the
Georgia railroad, and will work it in tho
interests of Savannah and the Central.”
“Well, then you can say this for me:
‘That Wm. M. Wadley will never be a party
to any plan that will injure tlie city of Au
gusta.’ "
The Chronicle asked Mr. Wadley if any
arrangement lmd been made to operate tho
Georgia and Central more harmoniously
togeuier ?
Mr. Wadley answered that none was
needed. Tho managements of the railroads
were in perfect accord.
Tho Chronicle asked further, if it were
really true that his friends had purchased
a controlling interest to the Georgia rail
road stock?
Mr. Wadley promptly resi>onded that ho
did not know, repeating his former an
nouncement with emphasis, that to all and
any event, Augusta might rest assured that
Wm. M. Wadley would not lend himself to
any plan that would injure the city and her
interests.
Said a gentleman soraetim 1 later: “Mr.
Wadley seldom talks. Ho keeps his own
counsel cetter than any man in the Soatli.
Last year every one knew what Colonel
Cole was after long before he was scooped
up. Mr. Wadloys plans are never divulged.
But one thing yon may rely upon: Mr.
\Vmlloy’*p!edgois as good as his company’s
bond, no will protect Augusta. He has
more brains than almost any railroad offi
cial to the country, and, as the Chronicle
said some time since, ‘when once he sets
his pegs, he rarely slips np.’ ”
Hd o.sii tier lx possession.
Later on the Chronicle received as
surance positive that neither the Central
nor tho Louisville and Nnshvillehad pur
chased a controlling interest in Georgia
railroad stock; that to recent operations
there was much that was fictitious; that
there was now a satisfactory issue from tho
sensation and excitement of the past week.
Although, then, there « much of mystery
and sensation to the matter, the following
may be taken for granted: That heavy
blocks of Georgia have been bought at the
North within tbe past month; that no one
road has secured a controlling interest to
the Georgia railroad; that the Louisville
a»i jCn«h«.iiio people were heavily inter
ested to buying stock and own several
thousand shares of it; that tbe Georgia
nnd Central are to complete understanding
with each other, and mil oporato closely
together to tho future, and that the
LOUISVILLE AND NASHVILLE IS FAVORABLE
to this quasi coalition. This is the strange
part; but it is believed to be true. That the
Central people or the Louisvillo and Nash
ville people have beon bidding against each
other, and find that neither could control,
is not probable. If the Louisville and
Nashville had determined to buy up the
Georgia, it could have done it. The more
irobablo solution is that the Louisville and
lw
gusts and Charleston, and tbe strong
probability that tbe steamers of tbe Ocean
Steamship Company, heretofore ran 11 tog
solely between this city and New York,
are hereafter to touch also at Charles
ton, aud run from that port iu
connection with tbe South Carolina rail
road, are all very conclusive evidences
that this tripartite alliance is a substantial
fact. Aud when to these indications Is
added the recognized necessity for tbe
formation of auch au alliance to protect
the commerce of this section against the
“Clyde syndicate,” which is seeking to
stretch from Ridimond and Norfolk,
in this direction, and build up
those cities at the expense of Savannah
and Charleston, it is, we think, safe to
conclude that the alliance is already vir
tually accomplished.

Pi
Nashville looks favorably upon a close com
pact between the Georgia and Central, be
cause they can best protect tbemselves
against the great Richmond and Danville
and Pennsylvania Central combinations of
the East. Were these strong syndicates
to get control of the Georgia, as they might
do, tlie Central and tho Louisvillo and
Nashville would both he injured; according
ly both corporations find it safer to hive
the coveted stock to New York, than leav
ing it exposed iu wavering and scattered
particles, to be scooped up by a powerful
syndicate at any time. It looks strikingly
like a scheme of self-protection against
the great .Eastern lines, and if such, we
trust it will be secured.
- THE OUTLOOK.
However this may bo, the management of
the Georgia will yet remain distinct from
the Central. They will not only work to the
fntnre to protect each other, but to take in
tlie South Carolina railroad, and scollop
their steamship lines from Savannah to
Charleston and New York. They will com
mand all the business po.-sible for their
lines and ports. They will form themselves
a natural syndicate for soif-protsetion and
domestic purposes, prevent.ng disastrous
cut iug of rates: wifi try to save the domain
of Georgia and Carolina, with the South At
lantic seaports and harbors, against the
grasping Clyde combination, whoso chains
stretch from the mountains of Tennessee
to Pennsylvania and New York, and who
are triangulating the Southern coast with
their feeders and branches. In Mr. Wad-

Tlio Chronicle representative remarked
that Georgia railroad stock would hardly re
main at its present high figure. Mr. Fhtoizy
said it was richly worth 135 as nn investment.
It was a 7 per cent, stock, aud as there was
no tax on it to this city, that made fully 9
per cent., and even $150 could not be
invested iu anything else to do as walL
A BREAK IN STOCKS.
Tuesday evening sales of Georgia rail
road stock were made at 143, and it was in
request at that figure. Central, it is re
ported, sold as high as 122 in Savaunah.
Yesterday morning the market opened
strong for Georgia with 143 bid. Large
offerings were put on the market and the
stock rapidly fell to 140, 135,133, and in
the afternoon sales were made at 130, the
market closing at 130 bid, 135 asked. Cen
tral participated in the decline. Opening
with sales in Savannah at 120, it ran down
before night to 114 bid, 116 asked, with
sales at 114££. Quite a large amount of
stock of both roads was offering daring
the morning, and there were more sellers
than buyers. The offerings of Georgia
were principally from country stockholders.

WHAT PRESIDENT PHtNIZI SAYS.
A Chronicle representative happening to
meet on the street Mr. C. H. Phini/y, presi
dent of tho Georgia railroad, remarked! tia ‘
it was reported that the friends of the Cen
tral railroad had secured enough of the
stock of the Georgia railroad to obtain con
trol of tbe latter. Mr. Fhtoizy said it was
inoro than ho knew, nnd that he did not be
lieve such was tlio case unless in the term
“friends of the Central” were included old
stockholders of the Georgia, who bad not
sold out but who were in favor of the roads
working iu harmony together. T" • s
was, the Georgia and Central and South
Carolina had been working together and
dividing business for some time. Tlio Cou-
tral, however, got tho worst of this, as it
had to carry the largest portion of the
through freight and divide tho money. The
causoofthis was two-fold. In the first
place the Central lino of steamers could
carry more, and, in the next, the track of
the road ran directly to tho wharf. I11
Charleston the freight had to bo transferred
and the carrying capacity of the steamers
was not sufficieut to tuke all the freight
thnt the road could convey to them. Willi
the roads all working under ono system,
the number of steamers running from
CliarlestonwonId.be increased to order to
take a proportionate share of tho business.
Each rood would continuo to havo its own
officers for tho management of its busi.
ness.
Under such a system tlie Western shipper
wonldhnvaa very great advantage. He
could then direct which way tho freight
should go from Atlanta, which ho cannot do
now. The talk that Mr. Wadley would do
anything to injure Augusta was absurd.
He could not injure it if he would and ho
would not if he could. Neither the Central
nor any other rood could hurt it. Tho
Louisville aud Nashville railroad did not
want tho Georgia, because it would gain no
more advantages by such on arrangement
than it now had. It could send its through
freight over tlie Georgia now and it could
do no more if it leased it. It was far butter
for the Georgia and Central to work to
gether to ermmunity of interest than to bo
catting each other* throats. They com
peted at Macon, at Covington, at Madison,
at Atlanta, and it would be exceedingly
unwise for them to work against each
other. He said that they competed at
Covington and Madison, because the Cen
tral at Eatonton was only a short distance
away from the Georgia. It was a great
mistake to call Atlanta the strategic point
of Georgia. It was too far inland. Tho
konor belonged to Augusta. Here tbe rail
roads diverged like a a fan to Savannah,
Mis Flnt Experience in n Square Ont
Fist Fight.
With all my general and particular cuss
edness, I iiQYGi had but one what yon might
call a good square np and down fight to my
life, aud I have journeyed on this green
earth for nigh on forty years. My motto
has always been peace and plenty, and I
had just as much peace as £ wanted bnt
devilish little of plenty. I love peace. If I
had my way there never would be a war,
nor a duel, nor even a dog fight, and every
body would slido along through lifo os if
sliding on a glass door.
There are but few things to this world
that would cause me to bare my breast to
the fray and fight. If a fellow should spit
on me aud rub mo to it. or call mo a lying
son-of-n-tom-tink, ora bow-legged drum
mer, I might resent the infamous insult by-
calling him a diabolical ’nother; but to
make me pitch in and fight, bito nnd
scratch, a fellow would have to back me up
in n corner, ram his umbrella to my ear,
twist my nose and rub his fist all over my
face. Even then I’d offer to compromise
on cussing each other out.
He who knocketh tho chip from the
shoulder of a man of more heft than him
self mast prepare to moot tho result with a
full supply of the most resigned resigna
tion. I never knocked but one chip, and
the world will split wide open and land us
to China before I knock another one.
The circumstances which led to this san
guinary slaughter are forgotten. The
main features of tho case, how
ever, are so deeply burned into
my memory that it eeoms only-
four minutes ago since I went homo to
Mrs. Arter with my head looking like I’d
butted a ferocious pile-drirer. 1 was ap
proached by my advesaryvery suddenly.
There was mad to his eyes, and I think he
oiled his elbows for tho occasion. He
spurned my offers of a compromise and
wanted blood. It was not until ho had
stored my nose four inches np in my head
and demolished tho architecture of my
arched eyebrows that I found time to reply
to his forcible arguments. Then I shut my
eyes, and no windmill was ever so energetic
as my arms for nbont a minute. I do not
know to this day that I hit him. This is
the only regret about tbe affair. I ex
pected to be wiped up, and prayed that ho
would leave at least a greasy spot of me,
bat I calculated that £ would disfigure him
a little. But ho was fresh us a daisy next
morning when we appeared before the
mayor nnd I planked down ten dollars and
costs for letting a fellow lick me.
When this discussion was endod, and I
was left for dead on the field, I picked np
my sorrowful remains and started for
home. I didn’t mind tho thrashing so much
os tho remarks my condition would excite
from Mrs. Arter. She'd met me at tbs
door when I was drunk us a bile J owl, and
her remonstrance took eight shingles off
the roof. What then would sho say to my
being engagetlin a fight, and getting teto-
tally, emphatically and everlastingly
licked ? AU the vast resources of my eu-
ergotic-imagtoatiun were brought to bear
iu conjuring up the awful and calamitous
orient of her reception on this disastrous
occasion.
But home I went, and Mrs. Arter was
in her pet humor. Sho had just got
tlirough giving iittlo Tom bis usual
dose of spanks for playing with tho leaky-
nosed nigger children in the alloy, and was
ripe for uie. I was well braced for the dif
ficulty, for on my way home I had thrown
a quart of stagger-juice under my liver-
pad, nnd it had about recovered from ils
astonishment when the gaze of the boss of
my house struck me.
She strung out her gaze so long ihat I
thought it would snap, and than she folded
her arms akimbo, and said;
“Did lightning strike yon, Tom ?”
Any other remark but that! It was
enough to slir up nn elephant’s bile, much
less mine, and 1 stood on tiptoe to.reply.
“Yes, and it played thunder with me!”
I She came nearer and fooled around ns if
afraid to touch me. I braced up ngainst
tho doorway and allowed the critical ob
servation to proceed. When she had inspect
ed me,and fully satisfied herself that I hadn't
lost a limb in the encounter, she jerked out
her vials of wrath and let looso the vitriol.
When she hail run over the li t of my faults
nnd vices, which took h i- a level half hour,
I woke myself from my lethargy, so to
speak, and in a tone X meant to be annihila
ting, at the same time not knowing whether
I was in Macon or Knmschatka, said:
“Mrs. Arter, you're drunk—blind, staving,
fool (trunk 1”
This remark, spent on any other woman,
would have fro;-.e her very marrow; but
Mrs. Arter is 11a unlike any other woman as
a buzz-saw 1» uulik** a circus ticket, nnd she
not only ngrhi uncorked her wrath vials,
but took <h.* .-topper out of her jug, and if

Mr. Haygood left New York at 4 o’clock
Monday afternoon, and arriving to Wash
ington City found he would have to lay
over to Washington about two hours. He
had the drafts and bonds to the amount of
$G5,000 to his satohel, and had just entered
a sleeping car when he was surrounded by
three men, who hemmed to the narrow
aisle. One seized upon the satchel and a
struggle ensued. Dr. Haygood retained
his hold, however, and the satchel was
saved. The robbers suddenly disappeared,
and a few moments after the Doctor dis
covered that his pocket-book, containing
$125, was gone.
There is scarcely a doubt but that this
robbery was planned to New York, but how
the robbers could have known of his having
the wealth with him is a mystery. The at
tack to the Washington depot was an isola ted
one and boldly executed. The robbers must
have had some information to proceed
npon. It is thought the nows may have
come from Macon, as it was well known
that Dr. Haygood would bring tho dona
tions with him, he having telegraphed tlie
information which was mentioned fre
quently to public. That the robbors de
sisted so suddenly may bo explained on tlie
ground that to seonring tho pockolbookthoy
fancied the securities had also been ob
tained. Tno funds have all been safely de
livered into proper hands.
WHAT WILL BE DONE WITH IT.
The following disposition will bo mado
of the funds, undor tho donator’s direction.
The $5,000 goes equally to the scientific de
partment and tbe library. Tho two
drafts of $10,000 each- are to bo ex-
ponded to improvements on the college.
It will bo seen, by reforeneo to our
columns, that tho committoe have already
advertised for plans and specifications, and
proposals for enlarging, remodeling, and
improving tho ra am building—intending to
make tho college, architecturally, what it
has long been to every other respect—the
pride and boast of our people. Tho
amount to bonds remains a perpetual en
dowment.
The future of Wesleyan Female College
seems now assured. With money enough
to make the building a modem ono, to
famish it properly, and to provide instru
ments and books, there is no reason why her
students should not number five hundred
annually. Situated where it is, to tho
healthiest climate on the continent, and
thoroughly equipped in avflry respect, it
will become tho leading female college of
the South. It Is how the oldest in tho
world. One of the executive committee
has handed us tho following:
The executive committee of tho board of
trustees of this noblo and time-honored in-
stitntion were convened at the college on

the board, and to receive at his hands tho
sum of tho generous and timely benefac
tion recently bestowed npon this college by
Mr. George L Seney, of Brooklyn, N. Y.
in aid of the cause of female education a
the South.
The occasion was one calculated to excite
tho proudest emotions of gratitude to him
who has so opportunely and generously re
membered our beloved college in the r
of her need, and placed its board of trustees
to a portion where the so much needed
improvements and adornments may be at
once effected.
Of the $50,030 so generously given to the
college by Mr. Soncy, $25,000 is to consti
tute the nucleus of n permanent endow
ment, the principal of which is never to be
touched undor any circumstances.
The remaining $25,000 will be devoted to
tho improvement of the main collego edi
fice. tho enlargement of the college library,
and to the department of natural science,
in the institution.

the work of female education to the Sooth,
I. whereas, we havo heard that the same

committee ot tho Board of Trustees, of the
Wesleyan Female Colloge, assembled at the
college this April 6, 1881, with grateful
hoarts, receive the gift to this institution,
and to tho name of the board of trustees of
its faculty, of its undergraduates, of its
many alnmnte, of the North Georgia, South
Georgia and I<lorida conference, its joint
owners, superintendents and patrons, and
to tho name of the citizens of Macon and

Preamble and resolutions adopted by the
faculty and students of Wesleyan Female
College, April 8th, 1881:
It is with feelings of profound gratitude
to God, that we, the faculty and students ot
Wesleyan Female Coliege, have beard of
the muniflceLt gift of fifty thousand dol
lars by Mr. George I. Seney, of New York,
for the benefit of our beloved institution.
Tlie pioneer of higher female education
in the South, and the turst regular chartered
college for conferring degrees on women to
the united States, if not to the world, the
lege hnve been distinguished for their
piety, and many of them occupy con
spicuous places in the churches at homo
or abroad. The Wesleyan is proud of
her danghters, aud has long mourned over
the poverty of our Southern land aud the in-
abilityof cur own people toendow her with
tho means of enlarging her usffulne-'s. It
seems to us ns the good providence of God
that a large-hearted Christian gentleman
from the North, rising superior to the nar
row views of sectionalism, should, nt the
time of our greatest need, extend to us tilt
aid of his princely wealth. The trne-heart-
ed sons of Georgia and the South will evor
delight to do honor to the man who has
so generously and nobly provided
for the educational wants of their daugh
ters—wmle the women ol this State, and of
all our fair Southern land, will never cease
to bless the name and honor the memory
of George I. Seney. Henceforth the Wes
leyan will record his name as the friend
and benefactor of Southern womanhood.
□This taken of good-will on tho part of
Mr. Seney is the largest expression of lib
erality which tbe college has ever receivod,
and the gift is one of the richest thnt has
ever been bestowed by a single individual
for the benefit of tlie women of tho
South.
Therefore be it reeolved by the Faculty
and students of Wesleyan Female College i
L That we tender to Mr. George L
Seney, president of the Metropolitan
Bank of New York city, the sincere thanks

Tbe Ileal Holder of No. 14,010 Found
at Last.
On tho 9th of March the News and Ob
server announced that one-half of ticket
No. 11,616 to the Louisiana State Lottery,
which drew tho oapital prize of $30,000 in
tho drawing of March 8tn, was held in Ral
eigh. Ever since that time the inquiries un
to who was tho lucky man have been con
stant, and no efforts have been spared to
find him. It was at first reported thnt the
city editor of this paper held tlio ticket.
Then it was almost asserted that Mr. H. F.
Slater was the lucky individual, and we
were on Saturday night assured by a gon-
tloman thnt the last named party was the
bolder of tho half ticket.
Bnt the public were all wrong. Yester
day the right person’s name was revealed.
Information came to us from a perfectly
reliable source that Mr. Peter M. Wilson,
secretary of the Stute board of agriculture,
was tho fortunate person. Soon after we
received this definite information a repor
ter called on Mr. Wilson at his office, to tho
Briggs building, to make inquiries as to
tho matter. Mr. Wilson declmod to make
any statement whatever as to whether he
did or did not draw the money. He had
been informed of the fact that he was to bo
called on by us, but it was his pleasure to
make no statement. Ho neither denied
nor admitted tho soft impeachment.
The news of Mr. Wilson’s groat good for
tune will give general pleasure not only to
this city, bnt to all parts of the State, for
his friends ore legion. A gentleman ef
much modesty of maimer I10 rather dislikes
notoriety of this sort, and certainly receives
L'ume Fortune’s favors qnietiy.—Raleigh,
