By Alderman Pcimiiiian— Whereas, It h.% ■ i clearly <le monstrated to thu L of this Coun cil, that open wells endanger the health of the citizens by causing ma larial diseases; and, Whereas, Individuals not being in a position, or caring to avail them selves of artesian water, can readily supply themselves with water from driven wells, at a cost not greater than digging and curbing; there fore, be it Halved, That on nml after this date no open wells shall be permitted to be dug within the city limits. The resolution was adopted. The following gentlemen were ap pointed as a sinking fund committee A Grand Dali in the Oglethorpe 50 Ye*ars Ago. Dr. Hopkins, ot Thoitinsville, now visiting in this city, told us yes terday morning that lie danced all night just fifty years ago in the old Oglethorpe Hotel, that stood just where the Oglethorpe of today- stands. It was at the tune of the great boom in 1838, on account of the opening of the Brunswick and Altamaha canal. The Doctor lived at that time in Darien, and came over with other guests from that city to attend the grand hall in limns wick. The elite of the land, from Savannnah to St. Marys, were here in full force. The music was furbished by old Andrew, servant of Mr.Night engale, aud by the way the only fid dler in this section. lie was ably- assisted by Cuflie, on the banjo. The grand promenade was innrcli- to the soul inspiring strains of “Su- gar in the Gourd.” .This was follow ed by “Haste to the Wedding.” These two, then “new pieces," wefe alter nated during the evening and night until the small hours ill the morning warned the party* that it would soon be “day dean.” After breakfast the Doctor went •Jip to the clerk and modestly asked the amount of his bill. The young- • looked at him carefully, and then tly whispered,-“Just $10. sir, and that includes the music,” The 1) tor paid his bill and wondered to himself, if old Andrew and Cullie made his Bill run up to ten dollars, hat would it have been, if they had a full orchestra. In other words, if a night’s lodging and bail inelndin music at the old Oglethorpe was worth $10* what would a night's lodging and Imll with McDuffie’s Grand Orc hestra to make the music he worth in the new Oglethorpe of to-day*. Something Rich in Store. The Entertainment Committee of the Library* is.getting up a rich treat for our citizens on tlie 15th inst., at L’arioso Hall. Tbfy will open up the evening by the rendition of laughable parlor play, in Which some of our best local talent will be engag ed. After the play is over refresh ments will be served, and music fur nished for those who wisli to exercise their .limbs. The Library people don’t often corqc to the front, hut when they do, they always have something good. A New Phase. A new phase of the time question was sprung last night in the Council Chamber by* Alderman Atkinson. It is this-. The city having changed to “standard time,” will ring its Satur day night bell at 12 o’clock as usual, which will be 36 minutes after the Sabbath day begins. The question arises, how will the grand jury and the court view this mutter with those store keepers who remain open until the hell rings i Enthusiastic Meeting. The Protection Hose Reel Compa ny had an enthusitfbtic meeting this week over their proposed visit to Dawson. By request the meeting was addressed hy Mayor Dunn nnd the senior editor of this paper.

The matter of tents, the big hug-a- boo, has all been arranged, for if the govchiment fails to furnish them, Alabama comes to the rescue, and says, ‘ take ours,” so there will be no trouble about tents, and the cots have been ordered. • Thus by a little vim and push wc have secured a genuir** bonanza in building up the sea-const of old Geor gia.

Berrie, and by rr'nflj'ln of Institution. fWossor E. Ray Ldnkestor, lecturing on the "Struggle for Life” at the London institution, said that a considerable num- bfcr of the most fatal diseases in man, oxen and sheep were due to poisonous matter produced in tlio blood which was known as bacteria. When this poison got into the system, the duty of the corpuscles was to go for it. and they pro ceeded to eat ns much as they could; but sometimes they could not attack it at oil. The bacteria was too much for them, with the result that, tho bacteria grew, and very soon proved fatal to tho body in which it existed. The corpuscles could, however, be edu cated to deal with the bacteria, and tho future of preventive medicines would bo the education of the white blood cor puscles. Tho fact that one man, by con stant uso, could without injury -tako a dose of arsenic that would kill six or dinary men was duo to the fact that ho had by weakened doses been educating and training tho while corpuscles. They could be taught to eat and flourish under conditions which, if not commenced', gradually, would lie destructive to them, and that was the principle at the base of protective inoculation. As a preventive of many fatal diseases in sheep and oxen, inoculation had been remarkably success ful. The corpu&des first received a weak ened breed or disease by inoculation, and thus when a violent attack came they wero ready ?o recei vo and dispose of it. This education of the corpuscles, it seemed to him, was the , x; lanation of the suc cess of vaccination. They received a weak doso of the poison from the vac cine, nnd were in that way prepared for a stronger dose in the way of smallpox. He believed the white corpuscles could be trained to receive the most virulent poisons, and ho hoped this training would bo carried on so as to deal with a great, number of diseases,—New York Post. Ago of an Old N*cgro. J Tho old time colored people in tlio south, those who were slavey have no other method of reckoning antes, occur rences, and esjicciafiy births nnd mar riages, than to refer them by association to events that happened about tlio same time, and it is quite common to get from them answers about like the following: ‘•How old are you, Aunt Miily?” “Wall', chile, I know you beam toll of der fust yarthquako in Norf Caliny? Wall, I wus a right smart sizo gal den, an’ could spin an’ weavo my ten cuts a day for my ole missus. Dat’s how ole I is.” “How old are you, Uncle Bob?” « “How ole I is?

There has over been tho few who coined gold out of musclo and crystallized sweat into gems. Tho few hero was perhaps smaller than in any other country. It built its palaces and tombs of wondrous beauty, but there is absolutely no sort of monument of past people or masses. These havo ever lived in squalor, their mud houses melting under a summer rain; their little accumulations vanishing m the smoke of their poor funeral piles. Oppression lias so sunken into their natures that they havo no conception of anything else. If eels wero half os fond of being skinned as these people are of being ground down they would wiggle from their mud houses into tho frying )an. lake spaniels, they delight in lick- ng tho hand that smites them. There is nothing in this land to make it one of wealth, but everything to moke it the opposite. Its climate enables its people to live on what would bo starva tion elsewhere, and to clothe themselves in some light cloth alone. Such a people never could be rich. They bovo been able to manufacture articles* at almost a nominal cost whoso rarity in Europe made them of great value, and Europe- imagined these things were riches, where as their very cheapness here was evidence of tho poverty of tho country.—Carter H.
