A Collection of Cold Facte In Connec
tion Therewith.
In Mr. Wynton’s letter to the Constitution
of yesterday, writing of tbe libelous letter in
the Cincinnati Enquirer, and referring to his
being charged with having furnished tbe infor
mation, he says "he denies most emphatically
even the remotest connection with It."
We submit the facta in tbe cue and leave
the public to draw such conclusion uthey
will warrant:
Sometime ago Mr. Wynton published a sensa
tional article reflecting upon a member of Mr.
W. B. Kent's family. Mr. Kent sought the
correspondent and soundly abused him. I»
defence of himself, Wynton used, as Mr. Kent
says, the same statement In reference
to the suppression of a certain elua of news u
did the correspondent "Sherwood.” Mr.
Kent says further that Wynton remarked:
"You should not feel ao badly over 1L There
will be a letter published soon that will be
ten times worse, and George Turpin and
other big men are mixed up In U,"
On or about the same day ou which F. S.
Brown, the Cincinnati Enquirer man, was In
Macon, Wynton was met near the Presbyterian
church by Mr. John C. Butler, who, iu a cas
ual conversation, referring to the residents la
that locality, related a circumstance which
formed a paragraph in "Sherwood’s" letter in
almost the aaiue language.
Mr. Wynton waa in Atlanta on Tueiday, and
came down on the same train with F. 8.
Brown, snd both were seen to get off the
train at Macon. As hts already been
stated, Mr. (leoree C. Brown, proprietor of
Brown’s Hotel, where F. 8. Brawn stopped,
noticed Wynton calling on Brown several
times during the day. Mr. Herbert I.ano,
at tbe National, as:
“A man never knows,’' says a Bos
ton writer, "when nn idea is going to strike
him. Of Its arrival he has no intellectual
premonition.” That’s a fact, and the ma
jority of men never know that an Idea has
struck them. Probably it is because they
are so unaccustomed to tbe habits of an
idea that they don’t know when it has ar
rived.
Uea?"
Ah! false philosophy! These hearts of light,
Grace, motion, impulse, may yet hide beneath
Their riant surface depths of passionate might
Thoughts soft as pity, love whose wakening
breath,
Fanned to aflame, makes many a life-path
bright.
And self-devotion couiucring time and
death.
—Paul H. Ilayne, In the Independent

When that the Jocund fluting la here,

Which most of all becomes my dear.
When Bummer, with its glorious train
Of snltry hours, reigns once again;
When heavy bangs each rose’s head
With languor of much sweetness bred,
Matblnkstbst ’its tbe time of year
Which most of all becomes my dear.
When Autumn steals o’er weald and wold,
Bespangling many Jt copse with gold,
When violets opc their eyes anew.

With snowy plume* veils earth and sky;
When snowdrops in God’s acre prove

Gathering ducks in Maricopa coun

There is considerable barbed fence in tne

CliE day a Kentuckian mounted his
good mare ridge and threw across his
saddle a bag with two tnrtles in each end.
Being a humane man, he made a hole near
each of the turtles to give them air. This
did venr well until the ill-natured turtles
worked their heads oat of the holes and
nabbed poor Pidge simultaneously on her
flanks. She made a spring that threw her
rider, and away she went. The turtles
held their grip, and Pidge ran till eho fell
exhausted. flince then no Kentuckian, so
far as heard from, has ever used tnrtles for
•purs.
If you were to move about among

surprised that eo many Christian people

one in the flock where they belong. This
is as it a soldier, in time of war and in the

Mr. Wynton introduced Brown to Charlie
Dreyfous, tbe news dealer, and so fsr as can
be learned, Drevfous was the only per*on In
tbe city favored with Brown’s acquaintance
daring his stay in the city.
Since the appearance of tbo article in the
Clnclnnri-Euqulrer, Mr. Wynton ha* admit
ted that he did furnish a portion of the Infor
mation to Brown, and sugget- d that Moran,
of the Constitution ofllce, supplied the inior-

mstion concerning tbe editor of this paper.
Mr Wynton obtained from a young msu in
Lanier & Anderson’s law ofllce the legal points
in another article of a libelous character in the
Cincinnati Enquirer, which appeared In tho
Issue of the 24th inst.
The article In the Enquirer contained in ono
paragraph statements made to Mr. Wynton by
one of the parties mentioned, and the circum
stances related were those with which Mr.
Wynton alone was familiar. _
Mr. Wynton admitted to Rev. John W. Burko
that he (Wynton) had furnished Brown wi'h
the statements In one of tho paregr&phs of tho
Enquirer's article.
Twentv-FIve Year* in Transit.
One of the most peculiar and interesting in
stance* that has occurred in some time pre
sented Itself yesterday.
Mr. L. B. Rhodes, who lq employed at the
delivery depot of tho Central railroad in this
city, received a notice from the Macon post-
office yesterday that there were two letters for
his wife held at the office for postage. He
called for them in the afternoon, paid the due
postage and received them.
Mr. Rhodes was in our ofllce last night and,
with a curious smile, laid the two letters on
our table.
"There," said he, "are two letters I wrote
my wife twenty five years sgo. They were
mailed dnring tne war, and have just been re
ceived. One of them was written from Ports
mouth, and the other from Sewell’s Polnt,Vir-
glnla. They were given doubtless to tbe mall
clerk In tbe lines, and have wandered around
until to-day, when they have been read for the
first time by the eyes for which they were in
tended.”
One cf the letteu was dated June 5th, 18CI,
and the other August 4tb, 1801. Tbe for
mer had been broken open and deprived of a
HO bill, which, Mr. Rhode* stated, he had
nailed to hla wife, the flrit wiih which the
•oldlers had been paid off.
It was indeed a peculiar circumstance, and
one that Mr. Rhode* could not satisfactorily
explain. The accond letter bore tho following
lu the left corner at the top: "L. B. Rhodes,
Company B, Second Georgia Battalion.
Wright's Brigade, Anderson's Division, A. P.
HiU’sCorps, Army of Northern Virginia.’’
Tho letters were written In pencil, and were
quite legible. They were directed in Mr.
Rhodes’ handwriting to Mrs. Mollle A P.

A Thrilling Escape*
Yesterday afternoon, at 4 o’clock, pedestri
ans on Mulberry street witnessed a «cene thoy
will not soon forget, and which for the time
made their faces pale with horror.
Standing on the sidewalk in front ofLoh’s
barber shop, where It had been carelessly left
by Its nurse, was little Helen Erwin, the
daughter of Mr. L. M. Erwin, the United S'atei
commissioner. It had been playing there
with some other 'children, but it the time
~ is standing alone near the middle of the

was backed with determination to meet com

which recognized no such thing as failure,
and energies which wero almost a* ceaseless
as the movement of tbo aun, and the result
has been success from the opening of their
doors, which, when we now look at It in its

of some magic influence, as it were. Not quite

Murphey secretory. This stock is owned en-
y by the employes f t the house, together
with the business managers of its various
branches, numbering some twelve or fifteen,
which are located la tbe most important cities
