A Musket Hall In tho Drain for Twenty- Three Years. New York dun. Among the privates in the Eighty-sixth regiment of New York Volunteers who were at the battle of Cbancellorsville. fought on May 3, 1863, was George Washington Monks, a young man, hardly 20 years old. Chancellorsville waa bis eighteenth battle, and it proved to be his lust. About 2 o'clock in tho afternoon a musket ball struck him on the head, entering the right parietal bone, and dropping into the skull to the bngo of the brain, w here it lodged. The result in every previous caso of that kind was death within seven days, but Monks is still alive, and the musket hull is still in his brain. For nearly twenty-three years ho has been a perpetual marvel to physicians, who have named him the “Iron Tho wound paralyzed Monks' right] side, drawing it up and distorting it terribly.

Why do Some Men Sncceed Where Others Fall—Some Answers. Philadelphia Press. When a man who is exceptionally rich, noted or successful in any way dies or is brought before the public in any less un comfortable fashion, the common question with obscure men is, “What was his se cret?” “Why did he invent the telephone, or inoculate for hydrophobia, or make his millions, and not I ?” The question is not so easy to answer as it seems at first. On one of our side streets, for example, there is a superb dwelling tilled with ex quisite bric-a-brac, nch draperies and pic tures chosen with all the knowledge and Uhte ot the best upholsterers and artists in the country. It belongs to a man who ac quired a fortune by, let us say, making clothes wringers. Not a square away is a wretched little shop where a gloomy old fellow repairs clomes-wringers. The two men worked side by side for the same wa ges fifteen years ago. Talk tc „ , „ them, and one is as auick-witted and Indus- his wound he has had no fewer than 7,000 J trious as the other.

Atlanta, January 20. -Saturday night between the hours of H and 9 o'clock the dwelling of Freely A Lloyd, in Birmingham, Ala., was broken Into and robbed of a Saratoga trunk conUlnlng $430 in money and about $l,QU0 worth of dry good*- Jewelry and silverware. The dwelliug adjoined a • mixed store kept by three ladies who are widows, and the burglary was committed while both ladie a wees busy In tbs front part of the store. Detective B. F. Horner, of Birmingham, was no tified, and in a few hours he had five negroes spot ted as the thieves. They were John Dorsey. Brad ford Dorsey, Morgan Thomas. Della Dorsey and Mabel Minion. He shadowed the quintette, all of whom left Birmingham on Bunday and came to Atlanta. Detective Horner came on the same train with them, but made no effort to bag the birds. His phu» was to let them leave the train. locaU at tome point to divide the spoils and then arrest all at the aame time. He called into requisition Mounted Officer Green and Special Officers Bedford and Steennan, and then proceeded to shadow the burg. Ian. They were traced to various places in the city Mon day night, but did not bunch until last night about II o'clock, when the above known officers traced three of tbs party to a lonely house beyond rtne street bridge, near Ponce De Leon Springs. They surrounded the house and entering at various win dows and doors, captured and hand cuffed John Dorsey, Morgan Thomas and Della Dorsey. They then searched the house from top to bottom and recovered two hundred and twenty-one dollars la money and a handsome cloak and hat. The trio were taken to the sUtton and locked up. Tbeoffi cam continued the search for the other two robbers, and at two o'clock this morning dropped into a col ored hall at the boose of a negro woman named ■coil on Henry street, and apprehended Bradford 2kMMy and Mabel Minion. The fifth and last of tho gang was caught about 4 o'clock this morning- AU are now looted up at the station, and John Dor sey. the ring-leader, who planned the burglary, has made a confession. He states Jut he stood at the hack of the store in Birmingham, with pistol in hand, to guard hie brother. Bradford Dorw/y, who entered at the window, located the Heratogo trunk. K*ed open the door, pulled the trunk out. sad bow R was taken and turned over to the woman, who gntted it and placed the goods In a different trunk, which waa secreted until the train left for Atlanta. Tho men took the money and pat it ia aeoudl valise which was remrersd et the house osar Ponce Do Leon springs. The trunk toeoverad but only a portion of the stolen goods.

Down iu the country arc obscure little villages, from which these lucky men came in their youth. Nobody ever beard of the rest of their population, of tile thousands of quiet menot straitened means who were the schoolmates or kinsfolks of these winners of the race. Why did they win? What is their secret? American life suggests the question at every turn; we all of ns know with what envy nnd bitterness of soulit is asked. If the Press suggests an answer this morning it will, whether it bits the truth or not, touch on a matter which, unfortunate ly, lies at tho basis of the life of every one of its readers. Tho successful tradesman, lawyer or gos peller is usually successful because he gives liimself wholly to trade, law or tho gospel. St. Paul long ago told us tho key to the rid dle: “This one thing I do.” John Petty thirty years ago was porter in a soap fac tory. He made soap his end nnd aim in life. He studied thoroughly its manufac ture, its sale, its best markets. He became errand boy, salesman, partner and finally owner of the house iu which he was em ployed. He built up a huge business in soap. He trampled down all small dealers remorselessly; bis name is in all the mnrketa of the world because synonymous with soap of a certain kind. It yielded him a large fortune. He died tho other day, leaving the great business and its profits to his sons in such a way that for generations to come the name of Petty and tho soap business will be one in the eye of the world. Everybody grumbled bceanse be did not leavo a dollar to a friend, to a needy rela tion or to any charity, public enterprise or religious work of his native city. Why should he? He was not a man with friends nor a scholar nora Christian; he bad never taken any interest in charity or art or schools. He was a dealer in soap, nothing more; nnd he succeeded because bo wus nothing more. His quondam partner, who is a poor man, having long ago been pushed to tne wall by him, is a genial fellow, who entertains his friends in his little boose st Germantow'n;be lias a nice taste in mu sic, is vestryman in a church and trustee in some of oar noblest charities. Ue has scat tered his shot. But he has failed in soap, and bo has no right to grnmble because he has failed. The example salts our case, whoever we are. The young fellow starting out in life is not going to take first honors as a lawyer, a cricketer and a man about town. Ue mnst choose bis aim and stick to it. The young married woman will not fulfill her dnty ns n wife nnd mother, an artist and 11 “rose" alwnye in fall bloom in society. If she attempts all alio will turn hack chagrined at fifty to wonder why her life in each role was so unnotlccable and common place. As to whether tho flnnl success of the man with one aim pays for his narrow life, that is not the question before ns. Another secret of u successful man is—ho is sincere; he does not pose, nor play any part. He does not cure a whit what so sue red a Lord's Sup row. His death was very sudden.

The Work of ■lullilinif the Covington and Macon Railroad Uextns To-day. Dirt will be broken on the Covington and Macon railroad at 9 o’clock this morning, in front of the park gates. Yesterday morning the offices of the road were formally opened in the rooms over W. F. Price's warehouse, on Fourth street, they having been removed from Covicgtnn to Macon by resolution of the board of direc tors. Col. L. F. Livingston, president of the road, Mr. E. C. Machen, supervising contractor, ond Col. B. W. Frobell, en gineer in chief, together with their secretaries and clerks, at once took possession, and began the work of making preparation for the iiumedinte construction of the line. A force of hands was organ ized, tools and snpplies were purchased from Macon merchants, and by night every thing was in readiness to break dirt li consequence, 9 o'clock this morning was fixed upon as the time, aud the open space in front of the park gates as the place. A Tki.eoh.U’II reporter called ou Col. Liv ingston aud Mr. Machen yesterday afte noon, and interviewed them. In respouse to inquiries, Col. Livingston said : “We shall begin the work of building the Covington aud Macon railroad to-morrow morning. We have selected a ronte into the city, nnd have located our freight depots and simps. The only thing left undone is the location of the passenger depot. The road will cross the river where the bridge of the Georgia railroad once spanned it. It will follow the old track of that road to point near Anderson's brick yard, where will leave it to the left, and run around the park fence through tho oity reserve to tho track of the Eost Tennessee, Virginia nnd Georgia railroad. There we Bhall construct n Y, one track running down in front of the park, and another tapping the East Tenncssco, Vir ginia and Georgia near the cotton compress. On tho latter track the freight depots nnd shops will be located. As to tbe passenger depot, the location of that has not yet been decided on. We would be giad to join tho other roads in building a grand union depot at the foot of Mulberry street. We do not yet know how such a proposition wiil be received. Ono thing is certain, our passen ger depot will have an eligible loention." Mr. Machen, who, by the way, is n Ken- tnckiun, told the reporter that he had trans ferred his citizenship to Macon. “My fortunes are cast in with yonr peo- f ile," he said, “and I hope for onr mutual icnefit. As to tho building of the Coving ton and Macon railroad, what Colonel Liv ingston bns just told you is true. We shall begin to-morrow morning. I have made contracts for All necessary engines anil cars, and within forty days steel rails for the line will begin to arrive. When completed, the road will be one of the best equipped in the country. It will have all modern ‘ Improvements, bo of standard gauge, and will be managed in tbe interest of Georgia. The road is entirely independent cf all other lines. It seeks a legitimate share of holiness, and will not nso unfair or nnbnsiness-like means to ob tain it. I expect to have the Georgia rail rood at Covington by the 1st of July.'' Mr. Machen said other things tending to show the sincerity of the intentions of his company. He exhibited one of the bends of the road, a beautiful specimen of the arts of the engraver and the printer. He was fall of business and life, and seemed to lie very glad to get to work at lost. By relereucc to the proceedings ot the the city council, to bo found elsewhere n this issue, it will be soon that a delay in breaking dirt iuuy take place. The pro ceedings of the council will fully explain the cauae. FLORIDA'S ORANOE CROP. All Hanging Fruit Proves Almost a Tol Li->s.

Nollis, of Volusia, one of the largest growers in the State, and who estimates his loss from hangingfruitaloneat$20,000; Mr. D. Green- loaf, who has large groves on Lake George B. M.

Tot- tie, author of nn ndmirable little treatise entitled “Twelve Years in Florida,” who owns a tine grove at Mandarin. The opinion of all these gentlemen, while they differ in some minor points, is substantially that all hanging oranges wero Dozen and aro almost a total loss; that nurseries and other young trees, except where well pro tected by tiros or by location or northwest ern wind-breaks, wero killed, and that the new growth, or what is called in orange grower's parlance, angular wood, was killed. They Bay although tho cold spell was far more continnons nnd severe than that of February, 1835, it was not so destructive to the trees, for the reason that in February, 1835 the sap was up in the trees, which were budding, nnd in some localities, blooming, while during tbe freeze this win ter the trees were comparatively sapless, hard, and by reason of the previous roM weather this season, made by nature better prepared to withstand severe weather. Captain Tuttle, who returned yesterday from a careful investigation of his and neighboring groves, with special view of determining accurately, as near as it can now he done, the nature of the damage, said in reply to the News correspondent’! question that the result would be very sim ilar to that of the cold spell of December 30, viz; that all sonnd, healthy trees that wore neither fertilized nor cultivated too late last summer suffered only to the extent of loss of foliage and curtailment ot this coming season's fruit buds. Badly diseased trees of every age are either doad or will gradually die. He also expressed the opiuicn that the perfect re maining groves will be greatly enhancedin valnc, that some people will learn that suc cessful orange growing 1* not a mere slip shod, haphazzard, theoretical business, thst the supply of oranges will not keep pace with the demand, aud that all “frost Une” real estate men aro naw buried under an avalanche of “frozen veracity."
