A Description of Mandnlay* Now Occupied by the ItrltUh Forces. New York World. Mandalay, or Mandale, the capital of J'.unnah, lies nbout three miles from the I Irrawaddy river, on rising grotmrt below Mandale Hill. The present capital of the hind of Ava was founded about 1853 by the father of the present King of Burrnah, Ur? ancient capital being Ava, situated some twenty miles below Mandalay. One of tho motives if tbe Into king for selecting tho present site for hi. capital w stud to have been his .lesiro to remove the palace from the sight nud sound of the British steamers, but this is an improbable reason at best. The citv consists of two concentric fortified ... ..maxA rmtzir br,in«r d..f.>ndr-<l hv biidl squares, the outer beinh defended by brick walls aud earthworks thrown up on the inside. Four gates give admittance into the citv, over each of which rises a tower with so\c*n gilded roofs, siunlar tli >ngli smaller towers adorning the wall at inter vals. A moat fifty vards broad and very dec,, --m.uds tlm walls ,md is natrolcd during the night by guard-boats tilled with soldiers. The first square is inhabited by the offi cials, civil and military, and the soldiers of tho royal army. 11m houses of the inhabit ants are all in separate inclosures, bordering on broad, well-kept streets, along which is " „ lattice,1 mlisnd. be. tlie hinge fence, a latticed pallsane, oe hind which the Burmese hide themselves when the king passes. Tho central or royal snuare is surrounded by an outer stockade of teak timber, twelve feet, high, and an inner wall. Two gates opposite each other me the entrances into this enclosure, which contains the government offices and the roj ul mint on tlie other side. On tho other is another wall and a cage gate way opening into the palace injfosnre. Passing through this gateway, a .large open area :s seen, and on tha opposite side arises a building, crowned by nine roofs richly gilded and surmounted by a golden Met, iui umbrella adorned with a coronal of tinkling bells. This marks tho audience hall, and, the royal abode being considered sacred all entering that apartment are re- qnired to take oil their shoes. lo tpc left can be seen the abode of tho “white” ele- phant, this animal being acarcely distin- gnislinble from any other elephant, except that the skin of the head is of a slightly paler huo than tho rest of the body.

Tire Monmtng Custom of Xewspapera—A Historical Item ami Other Things. home newspapers continue the old-time enstom of inverting the column rules and going in mourning whenea er a noted man dies. Gradually the custom is being shelved with many other moss-hack notions, And at the recent death of Vice-President Hen dricks there were but few papers thus dis figured. Many years back the country newspapers turned their rules at the dealt, of any man who ever reached the distinction of being classified ns colonel. In those days every Georgia newspaper office hod a negro press man, the work of pulling back the lever of the old-fashioned Washington hand- press being too laborious for the foreman or his cubs, as young printers were called. The pressman of that time was uaunlly an old negro with a brawny arm and a love for dram. These were his only requisites, be cause the little devil on tlie other side of the press, whose duty it was to keep tho typo inked, was in fact the pressman, the negro only furnishing the power. There was one of these negro lever-pull ers in the office of the Recorder, at Milledgeville. 1 may be mistaken, but I think his name was ' Dick. Ho had grown up from a likely young lad in a printing office, and he was as ready to pull at a bottle as to pull nt the press. On one occasion the forms of the paper were late, on account of being held Dack to get the rcturna of an election, and while waiting, Dick filled up on dram, and late in the evening, when the foreman called him to get the forum, he was very unsteady- on his Tegs. Never before hud he been so full, because never before had he put the forms on the press upside down. Then the inking roller ran across the type and Dick pulled back the lever. The sheet of paper was pulled off, and it was printed black with the bottom of the types. Looking at it by the light of a tallow dip, Dick peeped over his spectacles at the devil, and ex claimed: “Tell you, honey, de paper’s in mo'ning dis time, fer sho. De wjiole world must be dead!" missed the dollar, and suspected the men of having stolen it. Hite was not qnite cer tain, however, and said nothing about the matter lo her husband. Friday afternoon tho two men returned to tho bakery, and again asked for a dime’s worth of cake. The same by-pla.v as to changing a $3 bill was gone through with, and when tho men left Mrs. Newman dis covered that she had lost two dolktrs. When her husband returned from deliver ing bread sho told hint of what had occurred. Mr. Newman was lunch incensed nt the swindles, which had been perpetrated upon his wife, and had her to describe the men. This sho did, nnd said (hat they belonged to McFlinn's ten-cent circus. Mr. Newman wanted her to go with him to the station-homo to in form the police, but she refused to do so, saying that sho objected to tho publicity which the arrest of tho tuen would give to the matter. Yesterday, tho police heard of the swin dles, and attempted to induce Mrs. Newman to go to tho circus tent nnd identify the sharpers. Hhe refused. The police tried to single them out without her aid, hut failed. In consequence, Mrs. Newman 1ms lost throe dollars, and the sharpers, who ever they were, are that much richer. ANOTHER NEW RAILROAD.

Speaking of Milledgeville reminds mo that the steel rails of a Georgia railroad covered tho first iron-clad gunboat ever built. The Georgia railroad from Angusta to Macon was nbout completed to Mayfield when the war broke out. The contractors were waiting with folded hands for a ship load of steel rails that had been ordered from Englaud with which to build the read to Milledgeville, thirty miles from Mayfield. The ship reached Charleston just us the echo of the first'gun from Fort Sumter rolled buck from the sea. The rails were seized by tho Confederate States’ govern ment and the ship with its cargo gent to the navy yard at Fortsmouth. The gov ernment soon afterward commenced the building of their iron-clnds. Tho hull of the Merrimac, which hud been burned to the water’s edge by tho Federulg when they evacuated Portsmouth, was token and after being converted into a gunboat, was plated with steel rails that were bought for a rail road in Georgia. The Merrimac was christ ened the Virginia, and its fate is well known. m L'" : W te m lags# fpy J )0Uto4 by John Qaincy Adam*.

I free oa Dnring the war the prohibitionist* conld hnve won victory after victory with tho enemies’ own weapons. It was then that material for the distillation of whiaky wus scarce. Com ond wheat were necessary for the army and for bread for the soldiers’ families at home, and none of it could be wasted for whisky. Tho distillers tried everything that could take the place of com and wheat, but with poor succckm. Peas and potatoes were mostly used, and the kind of whisky distilled from them is best described by a well-known Georgia lawyer who said that “the pea whisky tasted as if you hod swallowed a cat; the potato wliinky tasted as if you had pulled the cat up by the tail!’’ It took very littlo of that kind of whisky tc make a man see snakes. I reipembor one man who' aaw something worse. He was seated with several of his friends in a saloon in Macon. They were all drinking, bat ho bad taken more than his usual allow ance of war-time whisky. The proprietor of the saloon bod a pet monkey thut hod tho run of the placeandliis favorite resting- place was the top of a certain barrel. My friend happened to see the animal for the first time and said: “Boys, do you • monkey?” There must have been some kind of tacit understanding among his friends to have some fun. They looked in the direction pointed to and though the monkey was plainly visible, they put on serious faces aud said they did not see it. The poor fellow again pointed it out to them, and again they said they did not see it Then he noticed their countenances, which seemed to say “poor fellow, he’s gone” and said: I don’t see U neither; I was just trying to fool you!” In this case there was no imagination about it but it came to light yesterday that a man con be very easily deceived m what he sees. We have in Macon a gentleman who observes the weather signs very close* ly, whether tor hia own amusement and benefit or to become a Wiggins or a Yen- ner I can’t say. At any rate ono of his bear ings has been tho weather vane on the court house spire. Every day for a loir; time he has mode a note of its positions nu made hia predictions as to the rain, cold heat Yesterday the workmen engaged in paint ing the spiro examined the vane and dis covered that it has not moved ont out of its place for yean! By way of consolation to tbe gentleman who has consulted it so of ten aud so faithfully, I can say that tue county commissioners are having anew one made that will be guaranteed to tarn by the softest breath of a sephyr. The Savannah, Dublin ami tV>Rt<*rn i;»H- roatl a Thing of tlie X«ar Future. A few day* ago tbe Tei.kohafii announced that tbe Macon and Dublin railroad had received aid from Northern cA]>UaltaU and would bo speedily completed to Macon. Yc«terday afternoon a reporter met Col. J. D. Jonen. a prominent lawyer of Dublin, from whom some interesting information coucerulng tbe new road wm obtained. Col. Jotiom regards the cotuple* tiou of tbe road a* a certainty, an w ill be Keen from what he Raid on the hobject. “The Macon and Dublin railroad ha* not been Hold,” Col. Jones Raid, “but it haa been fortunate enough to aeoure a backer in the person of a Phila delphia capitalist who represents a wealthy syndi cate Ho and hia partners proposed to furnish the money necessary to complete the road according to tho original plana." "What are those plans?" "The road, as originally projected, was to ran from Savannah, through Dublin, to Macon, with a branch line from Dublin to Americus aud Colum bus. This project will be carried out The road will hereafter be known as the Savannah, Dublin and Western. It will pass through a flue country and will prove a valuable property." "Will it be a shorter line than the Central from Macon to Savannah?" "fee; shorter by at least thirty miles. Tbe road will be almost a direct air line." "In it the iutentlon of the syndicate to bnild the road at once?* "Yen; the contract between the stockholders and the Hyudicete requires that the road shall be com- f letcd from Dublin to Macon within twelve uiohths. understand that tlie Philadelphia capitalist 1 have mentioned bus said that the part ot the road be tween Dublin and Savanuah will al*o tie completed within that time. I suppose that this will also true of that part of tho lino between Dublin and Amoricu*.” "Will Macon be tbe northern outlet?" "That U my undcrtatulUig. At Macou the road will have an ontlet to Knoxville by either the East Tennessee, Virginia aud Georgia railroad, or by tho Covington and Macon railroad." "Will the ciU.'.eu# of Macon be requested to sub scribe to tlie capital stock of the rued?" "I thiuk not The syndicate does not desire any body to tako stock in the road, and haa tried to buy that owned by tbe projector* of tbe road." A survey of the railroad situation in Macou shows that tbe city now has seven roads lu operation. Tlie.v are the Ccniral, the Macon and Western, the Southwestern, the Muscogee, the Macon and Bruns wick, the Macon and Augusta, and the Atlanta division of tbe East Tennessee. Virginia and Geor gia. The first fonr are under the name and control of the Central; and the sixth Is under the name of the Georgia aud under the control of the Central; and the tiftb and seventh are under the name and control of the East Tennessee, Yitglnlaaud Georgia. Thu completion of the Covington and Macon, and thoHavaunah. Dublin aud Western, will give the city nine roads, all of them Important lines, Macon is destined to be the railroad center of the State, and her Importance as a city will yet be greater than that of any otucr in Georgia. * waiHir m “lVo do licreby ccrtlfjr tint wre mrerri. rengemema for all tbo Monthly an.I Sera lira. tog. of the Loulriana HUto Lou.tv c.iinni.y »nd in jienron rrauugo aud and coutri’il tho I)rnw. tog. themselves aud that the mime ere conducted with honesty, fetmi i* anil lugood frith toward nil part ha, ami we authorise tho corajinny to nr-tlit certificate, with fac simile, of ouraignaturcs at tacbed, to ita adrertlaeracnta.” BHAUPEHS AT WORK.
