5Iilledoetille, Dec. 10.—Alter the
opening exercises with prayer, the secre
tary, Rev. J. H. Enter, read the minutes
of the last meetipg, which were adopted
without change or comment.
The reading df reports was next in
order.
Dr. Haygood, on the subject of taxing
parsonages, moved the appointment of a
committee of three to use means to get a
law passed exempting from taxation par
sonages that were actually used as such.
Revs. Haygood, Lee and Glenn were
appointed, but Dr. Haygocd insisted that
a shrewd lawyer would be best. He sug
gested the appointment of one in his place,
and Col. Thompson of Atlanta was ap
pointed.
The report of the committee on educa
tion wns 'hen read, but it was moved in
stead of adopting the report as a whole to
take it up and vote on—and discussed
when necessary—each item in turn.
While this subject was under discussion
the list was read out of those who were
located at their own request; who were
supernumerary and who supernumerated.
The report showed: Revs. T. J. War-
lick, J. F. Linn and W. W. Lampkin were
located at their own request.

THE BROTHER IN BLACK.
The continuance of reptris went on.
Paynes Chapel came in for its share. It
was recommended that Rev. W. C. Dun
lap be appointed commissioner of educa
tion for the colored people, and that he
be invited to occupy the pulpits in the
conference for the purpose of raising
$1000 for Paynes Chapel. Dr. I. S Hop
kins was recommended as principal of the
Technalogical School, and Revs. J. W.
Roberts, W. A. Chandler. Juliet! Msgath
and Morgan Calloway as professors In
Emory College.
'J hat item in the report of the com
xnittce asking legislation to give six
instead of three months public schools pto-
voked a long and ardent discussion pro
and con. Some of the very ablest and
best speakers, and most earnest and con
scientious thinkers in the conference took
part in the discussion. Among the speak
ers were such men as Gen. Evans, Dr.
Haygood, Dr. Cook, Dr. Anderson and

James Prince, who is charged with
bigamy, now languishes in jail at New

Gov. Gordon sold his plantation near

5Ir. Henry J. Hill, who is one of the

The two white tramps who were jailed at
Albany for burglarizing a freight car two
weeks ago are still in jail. There were
three arrested, but one turned state’s

an attorney for their defense and seem to
take it easy.
Tuesday last the steam ginnery of II.
C. Green of Talbot county was burned,
burning the gin-house with ten bales of
cotton and badly injuring over thirty
bales. The fire was caused from a spark
from the chimney.
The Phillips property, near Cedartown
was 6old at public outcry Tuesday. The

She died almost instantly.
Both of Albany’s cotton compresses are
kept pretty busy yet. Although tho crop
wns ent very snort in that section. 1
Albany’s cotton receipts are reaching far
beyond September expectations—proving
the fact that it is one of the best cotton
markets in Southwest Georgia.
Mr. J. W. Thayer of Albany lias fully
demonstrated the fact that turnips can be
raised as successfully in Dougherty as any
where. He has a large patch on his plate,
just outside of Albany.and his average tur
nips weigh four pounds. He has put lots
of them on the market this season.
Judge J. W.*Biggers, ot Hamilton, has
five hogs o( the Poland China stock that
will weigh lour hundred pounds each
besides five [other hogs to kilt. He made
a fine crop of potatoes on a small plot of
'round. He gathered three hundred
lusliels besides leaving a good many for
his hog*.
The infamous language used by the jail
birds In Albany is very annoying to
respectable people. Strangers, in passing
the jail, are frequently very grossly in
sulted, and, a* the jsil is on one of the
most prominent streets of the city, it re
flects upon the proper authorities that it is
not suppressed.
A son of 5Ir. T. J. Gastly of Elbert
county was accidentally killed last Thurs
day. The boy was riding a mule to the
field where he was ploughing, wh n the
mule became frightened and threw the

entangled in the gear in some way and he
was kicked to death.

Buck Bolden, aged 70 years, of Bolden’s
mill, in Hall county, attempted suicide
Wednesday morning of last week by cut
ting his throat. _ He has been in had
health for some time, nnd is subject to the
iimr|iiiim' habit. < >n the morning in ques
tion he whetted up his knife and deliber
ately stuck it in his throat, barely missing
the jugular vein. The wound, though
painful, is not serious. The old gentle
man regrets the act and says he doesn’t
know what caused him to do it.
5Ir. E. B. Thompson of Darien met with
a severe and painful accident at the
Ridge Tuesday evening last, while assist

down and held by several gentlemen, but
in some manner lie got the liberty of one

It is said that Col. Smith, Oglethorpe’s

Lawrence Barrett indulges in this men- ]
tal salutation in “Othello” to the serious
impairment of the best meaning of one of
Shakespeare’s most significant lines. lie
o’erleaps himself. He plays leap frog with
Brabantio, and drops in front of the old
man’s speech in such wise as to interrupt
its sense and prevent the audience finding
it out:
Look to her, Moor. It thou bast eyes to see;
She has deceived her father, nnd may th o,
says the defeated Senator. And Othello
says:
My life upon tier faith!
Now, I don’t wish to hold up Sig. Sal-
vini as an example to Mr. Barrett, or even
to defend absolutely Sig. Salvini’s reading
of this line. Barrett has been quoted to
me as saying: “It isn’t just for the critics
to compare me with Salvini. I’m not Sal-
vini, and that’s all there is about it,”
which is quite a proper way of putting
The other day a convict, sentenced from
Wilkes, escaped from 5Ir. Henry J. Hill’s
farm iii that county. Dogs were set on his
track, but he had several hours’ start of
them. The hounds took to bis trail quite
readily and ran him into the lower part of
Gglethorpe county, where the negro took
to a tree. When his pursuers came up he
was begging some negros working near to
get the dogs oil, but on learning that he
w.T- an ( m .lin'd (■mvirt they ri l'u-ed to do
so. The fellow ws* carried back »> the
camp and double shackles put on him.
He was I,mind at tin* time of bis e-cape
but had succeeded in breaking the chain
that confined his steps with a rock.
A bold attempt was made to rob 5Ir.
Holifield of Jackson a few nights ago. 5Ir.
Holificd is the proprietor of a bar-room
just outside the incorporate limits of the
nlace. He sleeps in the bar, and on
Wednesday night after he bad retired he
was aroused by two negroes who said they
wanted some whisky. Mr. Holifield
dressed himself, placing at the time his
pistol in his pocket, and went into the bar
nrniier to wait on them. Aut£ getting tbe
whisky, they called for 5 cents worth of
cheese and crackers. Then they asked for
some pickled hog’s feet, and while he was
bending over the keg of ,..cklcd feet, one
of the negroes grabbed nnd held him
bile the other pounded him over the head
with some bottles of whisky which tliev had
taken from the shelves. 5Ir. Holifield
led from.the whiqjty running into
his eyes, drew his pistol ami began shoot
ing, when the negroii ran o(T. From tin
blood marks on the side of the house, nnd
on the ground it is thought one or the
oilier of tho negroes must have been shot
and wounded. He fired five shots with
hi: pistol, and with his shot gun he tired
two shots in the direction the noise indi
cated that they went, which was toward
•the railroad from his house. 5Ir. Holi
field sustained several gosh wounds about
the head, which were dressed by Dr. R. G.
Bryans, since which time he baa been rest
ing caiy. Holifield is a cripple, and his
would-be aieafsins were no doubt surprised
at his muscular power, and had it not been
for the presence of mind in putting his
pistol in his pocket, lie would have boen
murdered.
CRASHED DOWN TUB MOUNTAIN BIDE.
Salvini, perhaps, lingers too long after
Brabantio’s contemptible remark, as if he
himself could be capable of doubt; which,
I think at the point of the play, is prema
ture, whatever momentary revelation it
may be conceived to make of the plasticity
of Othello's mind.
Barrett, per contra, Bteps forward and
■fragllMto speak before he can possibly
have heard what his sweet-tempered fath
er-in-law lift to say. and knocks all sense
out ol tliis pretty colloquy.
I take it that au actor who comes mid
way between there readings docs better by
his author and his audience, it requires
an instant for pliable-witted Othello to
catch a meaning so foreign to his whole,
soulful absorbed sentiment as the Venetian’s
Hint; and then—well, »ny man with a
heart in him, any man good enough t«
believe in the hearts of women couid do
the rest.
V
_ The warrant of tradition and tho prac
tice so eminent an actor as Lawrence Bar
rett serve to indorse one of the most repre
hensible errors of the player’s art.
It is so common that an actor who rea'ly
reads intelllgefitly is rant avis, and we set
him down as a man of extraordinary cap
acity.
We do this with young Salvini, who,
somehsw,, manages to live his roles. He
truly plays; he does not only play at play
ing.
5Ir. Dickson,of 5Ir.Frohnjaii’scompany,
puts this tort of sincerity into his speech
and action; 5Ir. Miller docs not always.
Mr. Lee 51oync is a marked example of
correctness and therefore of nature in this
respect, and so is 5Irs. Phillips, of 5Ir.
I’afmer’H company. Mr. Ramsay is not;
nor is 5Ir. Lewis, of 5Ir. Daly’s mm
pauy, at ail; bpt 51 rs. Gilbert and Mr
Drew are.
To listen as if the coming cue were un
known, ami its van of words as new to
the stage hearer as they aro pretended
toll'seems an easy matter; anil it is in
itially an essential of thoroughly good
acting.
I .burl believe people in the audience
realize how much of their pleasure at a
;ood performance, is due to it. I don’t
relieve they generally appreciate that an
actor of agreeable presence, in a pleasing
drama and a brisk petformance, often
bores them, they know not why, but bIui-
al v because he has an ‘air of knowing wlmt
scorning
That’s tho way they play tho regulation

judgment, as shew.-sever represented in

been rather remarkably represented here
in England. If you look over the

that we have had three Adamses, one
after the other, grandfather, father and
son—one of the most really striking in

it. 5Ir. Jones applied a mad stone to the
bites and does not apprehend any rerious

I don’t like to say unpleasant things'
about Mr. Barrett, for I have the highest
respect for his laudable ambition to make
familiar on the iflage works of poets who
write above our humdrum interests, and
do their little toward elevating the common
tone uf the race; but, merely in his per
sonations, he is the most prominent exr tu
ple of the time, of method based almovt
entirely on y sheer footlight view of men
and women and walking and talking.
Hence his mistakes.
Hence his weak Othello.
Hence his unromantic Baismio.

fidelity which no one of this stage has
equaled save Salvini and Modjeska and Ber-

“There has been lately—I am not going
to say a word about polities ; I always rig
idly avoid them—but I have seen a num
ber of allusions in the newspapers lately to
a certain tension, as the journals like to
call it,.between the relations of the two
countries. I cannot help thinking it is
the result of a little irritation on both
sides; but I have always felt that nothing
was more foolish aud that nothingoughtto
be morerigidlv left to tho children than the
‘You’re another.’ Now, I daresay,
metaphysically, yon arc another;I am not
at all sure that I am not another; but
there arc occasions when the telling cue
that i.e Is ‘another’ is apt to have a dis
astrous effect, and I ihink we ought to
avoid it. When we look at the enormous
extension of the race which speaks English
(as we call it, for I am always desirous to
avoid confining it to the English
race, as we used to term it in
our pride); when we consider this

England has put a girdle of

sure, even if it were a good thing, it is not
a dream. It is not for me to say; but it
seems to me nobody who looks far can help
seeing that the time may not be far distant
when the good understanding among all

enormous resources may Lave great weight

Pasteur nml Ills Institute.
Paris Dili stch to the London Dally Telegraph.
51. Pasteur is once more “the hero of the
hour” in Paris, and this afternoon digni
taries of the republic, as well as notabili
ties of various political shades, sstcmbled
together to do him iionor. Such a cere
mony os that which thus inaugurated the
new “Pasteur Institute” ought certainly
to bo a great compensation for tiic numer
ous attacks which the physiologist has suf
fered at the hands of bis enemies. 51. Carnot,
President of the Republic, arrived at
the “Pasteur Institute” in the Rnc Datot
at 1 o’clock. 51. Psslenr and his son—
who is s secretary of embassy at the Quir-
inal—received the official personages in
tho large entrance hall of the building,
which was profusely ornamented with
flags, flowers and busts. Among those
present in tho hall were M. Floquet, 51.
Alphonse de Rothschild, the Due de
Broglie, 51. Jules Simon, M. Jules Ferry,
M. Leon Say, Kssid l’asha and the explor
er, 51. do Brazza. There was also a depu
tation of students, and the various
academical bodies were strongly
represented. After the president of tho
republic hsd taken his seat 51. Bertrand
made a speech, in which he thanked 51.
Pasteur, in the names of science and
humanity, for his labors and their results.
Dr. Grancher, who directs the inoculations
of patients, next described the “Pasteur
meihcd,’.’ and ultimately M. Pasteur, Jr.,
read an address on the part of his dis
tinguished father. In this communication
51. Pasteur thanked those who had enabled
him to prosecuted hi* resA^iwb^ who
were not only the members ul iue univer
sity aud his countrymen in general, but
great foreign benefactors, such as the Sul
tan, the Emperor of Brazil, and the Czar.
To the emperor ef Russia he tendered his
deepest humage in the prep uce of the Rus
sian doctors, who were in the assembly be
fore him. M. Pasteur then proceeded to
tell hew the new institute would be con
ducted, anJ concluded with an eloquent
eslsgium on the work of “antiseptic sci
ence” for the alleviation of the suflerings
of humanity both in peace and war. The
reading of the sddrtt- wa« frequently in

words of thanks, aad the ceremony wss
terminated.
