thQCder and destructive ligbtuing.—
Last Saturday night baB been made
an. epoch., in the history of many
households in Georgia, for on that oc
casion many a home was made sad,
and many an habitation blown to the
ground. The city of Macon seemed
to have just escaped the fury of the
tempest, the oyclone passing around
her and crossing the Central Railroad
near Griswoldville. In the city of
Macon the ligbtniug cht many strange
nntics. One or two persons, we learn,
were killed outright, whilst others
were seriously shocked, and many
houses strack. Below we append ex
tracts of the affair as taken from our
exchanges:
Reports show that the storm was
general throughout the South. A cy
clone passed below Macon Saturday
nigbt, between eight and ten o’clock,
passing with slight damage to Gris
woldville. It destroyed many houses
on Van Bnren’s place, scattering tim
bers, etc., E. C. Grier’s house barely
escaping. The storm struck the Gove
place, killing the father of Hon. Sam
Gove, demolishing almost every house
and also killing two uiules. A stable
was blowu down ou the Reynolds’
place, amt serious dumuge was done
on Mr. H. R. Brown’s plantation, ev
ery house being blown down. Sam
Agee’s house was blown down, wound
ing his wife seriously nod leaving the
whole family prostrate ou the floor.—
The house was leveled even with the
sills. Joe Brown, colored, was cur
ried three hundred yards, and badly
hi uiseilj John Baker lost everything
—not a house or feuoe was left stand
ing. Rankin Phillips uud family got
under their house. The structure
was carried nwuy even with the sills,
The storm then crossed the Central
Railroud at the 173 mile post, struck
James Lockhart’s, destroying every
building. It thou struck John Nich
ols’ place, uurooting every house and
killing two mules. Then near Gordon
it blew away the residence ot Charles
Lyle, fatally wounding his wife and
child, killing outright Miss Lockhurt,
and wounding Mr. Lyle seriously. It
also destroyed the house and fencos of
Fruuk Balcom, and made a clean
sweep of the forests.

BRUNSWICK V8. SAVANN AH.
Atlanta Commotion.
Editors Constitution: In the Savan
ts of April d7tb,
•pied from thh cor
respondent o£tb« New York Evening
Post at Montgomery, Ala., headed
“Southern Railroads.” The News
gives tbe article entire, aud os a mut
ter of fact I presume, os no comment
or contradiction appeared in that is
sue or any subsequent one. Amongst
the various combinations spoken of
by said correspondent ts the “Erlan-
ger Syndicate,” and commenting up
on the proposed line from Kansas City
to Brunswick, uses tbe folowing lan
guage: “To my mind the plan has no
great promise of success. Brunswick
has neither prestige as u seaboard, nor
terminal facilities for the railroads
that are reaching to occupy it.” In
tbe very next sentence occnrs the fol
lowing: "It has indubitably the best
water south of Norfolk, is easy of ac
cess and pregimnt with possibilities;”
and immediately this contradiction,
“Brunswick has been known as a lum
ber port, and its export of timber has
beeu by vessels that lay at. anchor in
the bay until heir cargoes floated out
to them.” Did not the Savannah
Morning News know when that part
of this correspondent's urticle was
reached that he had written that
which was untrue? whether through
ignorance or design, I cannot say. If
the loading of lumber aud timber at
tbe port entailed such an amount of
extra labor and expense ns “flouting
timber and lumber down” to “vessels
in the buy,” why are sneli staunch
and carefnl business men as Reppard,
Bacon ii Co., McDonough & Son and
other Suvanmih lumber merchants al
most daily increasing their business
here, nnd adding to their permanent
improvements. There were over 370
vessels loaded here last year, aud
many of the very largest class, and if
thu increase for the balance of
the yenr bears the same ratio to
the past four mouths, there will
be nearly 500 for this year. If the
port of Brunswick is so inferior,
as this correspondent, and the
News would have its readers be
lieve, why has Col. Gillmore and the
Georgia delegation considered, after
accurate estimates were made, that
§00,000 was ample for tbe permanent
improvement of tbe port of Bruns
wick. Whereas, Savannah’s most
prominent officials and business gen
tlemen are knocking at the door of
the U. S. treasury for §350,000 for a
continuation of tho improvements at
Savannah. Will the News please ex
plain this difference ? And now comes
tho most cruel and unjust of all, and |
one that tho News (bearing, as it does,
almost tho relation of our own daily
paper) publishes unrebuked, aud un-
contradictod, and permits strangers,
and those nut in a position to know,
to believe the following as true: “There
too (.alluding to Brunswick) more than
uiiy oilier city except,pm hups,Alexan
dria, La., on the Red river, has yel
low lever claimed its victims. Will
the News, please, in behalf of this
“truthful James,” state how many ep
idemics of yellow fever have occurred
at Brunswick, and how many in its
own fair city? Was not the one of
187G the first and only one that has
ever visited ns ? Can the News say
us much for Savannah ? Is it not far
ther a matter of history that during
that one and only epidemic onr local
bourd of physicians were entirely
wanting in practical knowledge of tbe
disease; and did not tho number of
deaths as to cases phblished iu the
News, of the same year, show that tho
mortality in Savannah was as to one
six, while here ’twits ns to one in
The Dangers ot Eating, iu» Seen by a
^Humorist. •
About a year ago we discarded ev
erything that we thought wi»s * a
ous to the health, wbeqtwe wj
tied on learning'that syrup f
terated with nitHc acid, and that
asina lurked in the deadly folds of
the boarding-house batter-cake. Fig
ures were given to show that the
dreadful battercake habit was spread
ing, and prophecies were made that it
would eventually ruin the constitution
of the strongest devotee, and reduce
the nation to a vast hospital of flats-
jack invalids. So the battercake was
scratched off our list of edible fruits,
and next went the fragrant cod-fish
ball, because it was said to produce
cold feet.
Then we learned that the sad-faced
and cohesive biscuit was a synonym
of indigestion, and tbe unostenta
tious kraut but another name for
rheumatism, so that the biscuit and
kraut had to go; then we found out
that castor oil contained the germs ol
iugostatic molecules, whatever that is.
mid we were, therefore, forced to give
up the use of thut hilarious beverage.
This thing went on until we had
cut everything from our bill of fare
but cistern water and ohewing-gum,
and yet we found onrseif no stronger
or beiilthier than when.we were hur
rying to the tomb from the effects of
gorging ourself with a heavy line of
ossorted poisons three'or four times a
day.
About this time a man came along
with a magic lantern and showed ns
that every drop of cistern water con
tained an aquarinni of hideous marine
monsters, with wiggling tails, and u
druggist -told ns that tbe habit of
gnni chewing was a fruitful source of
cancer.
Tbe next thing we did was to swear
off being mi iuferunl idiot on the diet
question, and now we eat anything
aud everything that onr teeth will
masticate or onr palate commend,
and we ciiu work ten hours a day and
see to read small priut without spec
tacles.
