BRUNSWICK, - GEORGIA
SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE IS, 1885.
Another attack on high license in
the Illinois Legislature has failed,
this second defeat this session being
a new proof of this popularity of the
measure.
Mr. N. P. Fruit, who had *charge
of the Georgia exhibit at News Or
leans estimates that there were be
tween 20,000 and 25,000 Georgians at
the Exposition daring the time it was
open. ' *_
The Savannah News says that the
Salvation Army has at last attacked
Washington City in earnest. The at
tack appears to be made at an unpro-
pit'ons time. Tb^ army marched into
the‘city the same day that Geheral
Logan returned from thereat. This
was only a coincidence, however.

In the Cheeves’ ’trial in Dawson for
the murder Captain Pickett, an effort
is being made to change the venue
■ from Terrell to Sampler county. This
looks like h desperate case. When
yon hear of “plea of insanity" and
“change of venue,” you may know the
c isn is desperate, and tho accused
is ‘.'catching at straws.” . •
. .Every rnilrotol ticket 1n Russia has
two sums upon if. If the price of the
ticket were thirteen rubles, it would
show thirteen nrrd three, and. the
pi ice of the ticket would bo sixteen
rubies; the explanation of.which is n
special tax by the government upon
tt.e railway travelers to pay the cx-
p'uses of the last Turkish war.
* Cluverius, the murderer of Lillian
Madison, near Richmond, Va., if
loing, as the jury seem to think he
should be, after thirty minutes’ de-
lioeration, will hnve one 'cousolating
thought, viz: the notoriety he has
gained.' The case has been as much nd-
veitised ns Gniteau trial. Some men
will sacrifice even life for notoriety. If
this will content CluVerius ho ought
to die happy.
Office-seekers named ' Cleveland
had better have their names changed.
Tho President is so anxious to avoid
nepotism thnt he looks with sus
picion on the card of every ca'ler bear
ing tho name of Cleveland. Recent
ly a man named Cleveland came on
from Quincy, 111., to pot in nu appli
cation for the postotlice of that town,
which ex-Congressnptn Singleton so
much desires, lie recoived no en
couragement from tho President, aud
says ho thinks his name defeated
him.

England is having serious troubles
with her miuistry. Gladstone’s party
have been defeated ou a matter of tax
on beer aud spirits, and will pro
bably rcsigu, uaviug accepted the is
sue ns one of “lifo and death.” What
•vill come of it all, remains yet to be
seen. The News and Advertiser of
Albany in an editorial sqnib, gets off
tho following thnt seems to strike at
the root of the matter. It says:
John Bull could stnud defeat iu
Egypt and humiliation in Afgauis-
tan, but wben tho Government laid

TO CANNON'S POINT AND BACK.
LAID TO BEST AT LAST.
Since the publication of Attorney-
General Garland to the effect that
Indians could not legnlly discharge
the duties of postmasters, quite a
number of letters have been received
at the Postoflico Department from
Indian postmnsteis, written in excel
lent style, and showing that the wri
ters were men of good bnsiuess abili
ties, tendering their resignations.
Another phase of tho question has
been presented by n communication
to the department in behalf of white
men who married Indian wives and
Among the enjoyable exenrsions of
tbe season may be numbered that to
Cannon’s Point, on Tuesday last, by
members of the Library Association
and their friends, on board tbe steam
er Egmont. The weather was propi
tious, tbe company agreeable, and all
went along without a jar.
Tbe little steamer stopped at St,
Simons Mills and took on Dr. How
ark, and mude a second stop at Fred
erica to tajee aboard Mr. Geo. Stevens,
who was to act as our pilot around
tbe point of St. Simons island to the
place of destination.
Having made a late start, and find
ing the distance fromj Frederica to
Cannon’s Point longer than we ex
pected, we did not arrive there until
one’ o’clock, but what of that—every
body was in n good humor, and the
time passed pleasantly
We were met at the landing by Mr,
Shad man and family, and welcomed
to their quiet-retreat, than which no
prettier place can be found in this
section. After a hearty lunch under
the trees, the party, already made
p'erfectiy ut home by the family, ram
bled around nod took in the beauties
of the place, visiting the oat field aud
seeing Mr. Sbudman cut and bind
oats with his ponderous reaper and
binder, that cuts and binds a belt of
eight feet every time it makes n cir
cuit of the field—inspecting the
wheat field, tobacco patch, olive grove,
etc., all of which was new' and novel
to most of our party. Mother Shad-
man captured all the ladies and mnny
of tho gentlemen by her hearty wel-
curao and plensaut face.
At 4 p. m. we bade the good people
of Canuon’s Point good-bye, and
headed for homo. Reaching old Fred
erica we again disembarked, and vis
ited tho old fort, now almost gone,
the new chapel, tho far-famed Wesley
oak, those celebrated pecan trees, and
lust but rot least, the catiuon left
there by Geo. Oglethorpe, which for
years served ns a post to which to tie
steamboats, but now washed from its
foundation by the ever-flowing tide,
and lying so far down the bank ns to
be. covered at high water. As we
gazed on this relic of former days, we
thought to ourself, what wouldn’t At
lanta give for this old cannon ? It
would he worth thousands of dollars
to her. But there it lies, rusting it
self away ns the tides come and go.—
And then came the thought, why
shouldn't our own little city utilize
this wonderful old relic? If brought
to Brunswick and mounted on an ap
propriate podcstal in some conspicu
ous location, it would be a never-
ending source of interest to our own
people nnd every stranger that comes
amoDgbs. Other cities erect,at grr at
cost, monuments in bronze and mar
ble to the worthies of by-gone days,
nnd at n trifling cost Brunswick, too,
can have a monument, which, though
it would rot tower to any great alti
tude, would bo equally as lasting and
more replete with historic interest
tbnn nny monument ever erected. We
hope our citizens will think nbout
this rnntter, for we shall refer to it.
Ctovtimor Stephens* Remains Interred
at Liberty Hall.
CBAWFOBDViiiE, Ga., Juno 10.—The
remains of tbe late Gov. A. H. Steph
ens reached this place this afternoon
at 2 o’clock by a special train. They
were escorted from Atlanta by a com
mittee of tbe Stephens' Momorial As
sociation, and by Gov. H. D. Mc
Donald, ex-Governors Brown, Col
quitt and Boynton, Capt. H. R. Jack-
son, and a number of State House
officers.
A large delegation of citizens from
igusta, with a military batallion,
met the train carrying the body, and
the reinnins of the late Governor were
taken from the car nnd carried to the
chnrch adjoining Liberty Hall.
The day was cold and .rainy, but
notwithstanding tho inclement weath
er fully 3,000 people uttended the
exercises at the chnrch.
Gen. Toombs, a life-long friend of
Gov. Stephens, was too unwell to be
present.
After prayer by Rev. J. F. Edens,
Congressman-elect George T. Barnes,
President of the Stephens Memorial
Association, delivered nn eulogy. He
said that Sir. Stephens’chnrncter was
nn imposing and unique history, be
cause there was no element of physi
cal or- mental courage in which ho
was wanting. He was afraid of noth
ing on earth save to do wrong. With
courage he blended tenderness nnd
patriotism. Ho loved his State, but
iiis heart was big enough to take iD
tho whole country and his whole race.
Hon. Henry Jackson, of Atlanta,
who escorted Mr. Stephens to Atlan
ta when ho was inaugurated Govern
or, next spoke. He said the keystoue
to Mr. Stephen’s character was his
majestic wisdom, immovable will and
unbroken nerve. He .was a leader,
hence a statesman. His speech
against secession before the Georgia
Legislature was the grandest ever
made in Georgia, nnd had it been in
the power of man to avert secession,
that speech would have done the
work. The speaker wanted the mon
ument to Mr. Siephens to rise, and
n its four sidis to be inscribed
Wisdom,” “Justice,”
and “Self-Sacrifice.”
Gov. McDaniel was the next speak-
. Ho said that what entitled Mr.
Stephens to be called the “Great
Commoner” was his love and champi
onship of popular rights and huinC..
liberty.
At 4 o'clock the retuujns were in
terred in Liberty Hall yard, iu front
of Gov. Stephens’ late residence.
Three rooms of Liberty Hal,—the
parlor, sitting-room and Mr. Stephens’
bed-room—Imd been most beautifully
decorated by Mr. Joseph Myers aud
Mrs. Frank Smyths, ok Augusta, Mrs.
Casper Myers and the ladies of
Cravvfordville.
A handsome cross of flowers, con
tributed by Mrs. 1‘bil Clayton, of
Greensboro, and some elegant
wreaths, were placed on tno casket
while in tho church, and were depos
ited with the remains in Ihe vault.

Cumniing Clarion says: Mr. John
M. Stanford, son of Dr. Stanford, of
Cbestatee, showed ns Monday morn
ing a pine’ limb with a whirl of 38
burrs on it, one-half of which are the
common pine burr and the other half
the mountain burr. He obtained the
specimen from a pine tree near Dab-
louega.
A bloody murder has just come to
light near Fairburn, Ga. Ihe body
of a negro named Jim Mapp lias been
discovered floating in a lake, and
Jim Morris, a moonshiner, affirms
that Bud Moody and Elijah Rogers

because he was “nosing”Ground en

men are in jail, and may get their
deserts.

tion will convene iu Atlanta June 18,
and will continue in session two days.

j uient of temperance or prohibition,

view of this body. This will be an
important convention. Temperance
woikers from all over the State will

Milledgeville Union and Recorder
sajs: Levi Speights, on visiting a
fiei i where his bauds were at work
last Thursday morning, found two
half-grown rabbits lying together, and
was told by iiis hands that a mink
had brought them from tbe swamp.
Thu mink came to where they were at
work 'iiid dropped one and in a few
minutes returned with another nnd
deposited it by the side of the first.
This is regarded as strange conduct
for a mink.
The nerir Ministry of Brazil has
adopted a programme for the abolition
of slavery, of which the following is a
synopsis: “Geueral registry of all
slaves, with a declaration of the real
value of each slave registered, subject
to a yearly depreciation of 5 per cent,
making the maximum value of the
slaves of sixty years at 200 milreis
each. Slaves over sixty years of oge.

and indemnification will be made to
slave owners in 5 per cent policies to
one-half the vnlue of each slave and*

remainder.” The Government will
accept alterations of the above pro
gramme.

Galveston, June 9.—A special to
the News from El Paso says: Farther
particulars of tho fearful waterspout
which burst near Lagos, Mexico, on

greater than at first reported. At

in a few moments rose to a height of
twenty-five feet. This great flood
swept everything before it. In that
