extensive sales and small profits, Give
them a call; examine their immense stock,
and the quality of their goods and the low

purchasing from them need have no fears
of frauds. Sir. John Thrasher can be
found at the stable at all times, where pur
chasers can be accommodated. Give him
a call. Mr. Thrasher has been to Ken
tucky, and aided in selecting this lot,
and ho knows just what is wanted. When
we see the stock we will tell you all about
them.
Noiufthlng New and Sweet.
We have received within the last week,
from Messrs. Ludden & Bates’ great
Southern Music House, Savannah, Oa.,
a genuine “Southern Gem,’A for the sale
of which, in all the Southern States, they
are the sole and exclusive agents. And
while other pianos may be sold in the
South by other agents as the Southern
Gem, aud even though some of them
prove to be good instruments, we are au
thorised to say that none of them are the
genuine Southern Gem. The Southern
Gem is manufactured by J. P. Hide, of
Now York; and the mere fact that other
manufacturers aud dealers in musical in
struments are adopting the name, is the
best advertisement to the high aud wide
spread reputation that the genuine South
era Gem, made by J. P. Hale, aud sold by
Ludden & Bates, has acquired throughout
the Southern States. It is the reputation
that has induced others to adopt the name;
and for fear that the name is all that has
been adopted, we advise our friends to
purchase from thoso who have heretofore
sold the instruments that have given such
general and complete satisfaction, and has
made for the manufacturer such an envia
ble reputation. We have no hesitancy in
saving the one they sent us is far superior
to any instrument in this place, claimed to
l>o Southern Gems, and purchased from
other parties. Wdo ni ,t say this with a
view to disparage other inaii u.nSi. uor
to give the genuine a reputation beyond
its true merit. The tone of this instru
ment is perfectly equalized, and exceed
ingly brilliant. We have never heard one
so brilliant and full, with a sweeter tone.
It is a great blessing to our unfortunate
country aud our music-loving people that
instruments of such wonderful excellence
are manufactured at s ch prices that even
the poor may purchase, mnl add one other
pleasure to the sweets of home.
Persons wishing to purchase any kind
of musical instruments, by applying to
this office, will be furnished with price
lists, with description of the instrument
desired, and all necessary information or
assistance they may need in obtaining it.
Give us a call and we will procure you an
instrument at astonishingly low prices.

What Old Mr. SlalsSaltt o!
It can only be ascertained by calling at
the cash store of Briggs, Jelks & Cos., what
this experienced merchant did while so
journing in the Eastern cities. There
every one can see his immense purchases
and excellent selections. His long expe
rience as a merchant fully qualities him
to make purchases to meet the tastes and
wants of all classes of customers. This
house makes cash purchases and cash
sales, and they have no estimate to make
for bad debts, and, of course, can afford
to sell cheaper than those who take these
risks. The buisy capital that makes small,
ftrtelo anti frvqurut profits will never
fail, but always succeed. Their fall and
winter stock is large and varied, embrac
ing every variety of staple and fancy dry
goods, boots, shoes, hats caps, etc., etc.,
and also a large am} well-selected assort
ment of family groceries, drugs, medi
cines, oils, paints, etc., all fresh, and of
the purest and best quality. Go with
your money and produce to Briggs, Jelks
A- Co’s., for it is the place to get good bar
gains. We have this to say to the ladies:
They have the prettiest what you call
’tuns you ever saw. Call and see them,
winter is coming.

SLAPPING A BARON.
Some of lh Peculiarities of Blooded
Austrians*
An affair between an American and an
Austrian officer has been causing much
gossip here in certain circles. The secret
has been kept thus far from the general
public. General C., sent here on an of
ficial mission to make some enquiries re
lating to the Exposition, with a view to
that of 1876, entered the Exposition build
ing one evening last week, and as he came
to the rotunda some American ladies, who
knew him, came to put themselves under
his protection. They said that three Aus
trian officers had been following them for
two hours, and hail been rude and inso
lent to them. The General tried to pass
the matter off, remembering the free habits
of the Continent, where ladies are seen
without an escort, when the eldest of the
ladies took him one side and said that the
younger ladies had not told all, and that
the officers had tapped the younger ladies
upon their shoulders with their canes.
The General was angry then, and asked
which of them had Committed this indig
nity. One was pointed out, and he turned
to face the group, thinking they would
see their mistake arid go away. Instead
of doing so, however, the three officers
seated themselves, and the one who had
used his cane raised his glass to his eye
and stared at the General, as much as to
say, “and what are you going to do about
it ?” The look was regarded as a piece of
insolence, and was so intended. Gen. C.
stepped toward the party, and the officer
indicated rose to meet him, when the
General slapped his face. The blow was
not returned, but the police soon came,
and the officer offered his card. General
C. refused to take it, because he would
have no further dispute about the ladies,
but gave bis own name and referred to
the American Minister for liis address.
The officer struck was an Austrian Baron.
The next morning his friend waited upon
Gen. C., who indicated the name of his
friend, and there was a meeting. The
friend was also a gallant General, and on
hearing the case he stated that his princi
pal was ready to give any satisfaction re
quired, but first he wished to hear their
side of the story. The Austrians admitted
that they had followed the ladies, not for
two, but for four hours; that they were
mistaken in their character, and that they
were about to go away when General C.
came up. The latter’s friend remarked
that they had c6nfessed to an outrage
upon a party of American ladies, for which
they had been justly punished, and that
they had no right to make such mistakes.
Thev pleaded the manners of the Conti-
nent. The responso was that, whatever
the manners of the Continent might be,
American ladies visiting the Exposition
must be protected from insult, and that he
himself not only justified his friend—since
they had openly confessed their error and
acknowledged the insult—hilt should him
self act in the same way if appealed to
under like circumstances. Besides, Gen
eral C. held au official position, aud duel
ing was not countenanced in our country.
It was evident that the officers felt that
they were in the w rong, for they at once
said that this view of the case changed
matters a little, and they would consult
the Baron about it. At the next meeting
this reason was accepted as a good one,
but still the blow could not be excused,
for the Baron would lose caste without a
shot at his assailant. Then, said the Gen
eral, the ladies are out of the question; I
shall never consent to a meeting about
them; but my friend will be at the Exposi
tion building every evening to meet the Ba
ron and to receive his provocation upon oth
er grounds. But I must tell you, he con
tinued, that we have laid this matter be
fore the American Minister, and intend to
cany it before your Government in order
to test the question whether or not Ameri
can ladies visiting the exposition are to lie
insulted with impunity, or subjected to
the loose code of manners prevailing here,
as you assert This view of the matter
did not please them, and they very can
didly admitted that they did not want to
make a scandal about tin affair in which
they wore clearly in the wrong, and pro
posed to arrange it by tukingto the Baron
an apology from Gen. 0. That was not
admitted, because the first offence came
from the Boron, but if lie would apologize
for his conduct. General C. would express
lus regirtu that he found it necessary to
give the blow. The matte* vested there,
and meantime, I learn, it was laid befoic
the Secretary of War. What the result
was I cannot say, but at the next meeting
the above arrangement was agreed upon,
and the affair amicably settled. It is
probable the Baron was ordered not to in
sist, or since the Americans were deter
mined to push the matter to a scandal,
which would not have been to the credit
of Austria, it was likely he was advised to
let the matter drop.
