Before the publication of the last banquet. The commercial club of Boston, a large club of business men, had invited Gen. Gordon to address them. This was years ago, when It was not ob serving the proprieties to mention the war or the negro problem before a ■Boston audience, or elsewhere in Yakeedom. The agreement was that all speeches at the banquet should be non-political. The G-eneral. however, was the ora tor of the evening, and his address re ceived close attention, and was greeted with cordial approval and generous ap plause. v Gen. Gordon was delighted with its reception. The Bostonians manifested a warm hearted cord.ality. In fact, the occasion was. an ovation.

T. Williams, alias Wild Bill, and Jack JVe'.sh, charged with be ing illicit distillers. He has enjoyed his enforced visit to the Central City to tho full extent. He has been de lighted to meet a large number of his Ma.con 'friends. ' He and Hon. C. L. Bartlett were reared in adjoining coun ties and have been warm personal friends all their lives. Mr. Fitzpatrick and the editor of this paper met for the first time in 1863 at the Lowndes County country home of the latter and have been excellent friends ever since. Mr. Fitzpatrick never falls, when in Macon, to call and pay his respects to his friend. Mr. Fitzpatrick says it is a joke upon himself to be kept here all the week from his pressing ‘business on his antations in Morgan and Putnam in find tiger cases about which he knows little or nothing except from common rumors. But he takes his enforced presence here in good humor, only re gretting his inability to be at a big gathering of his Jasper County friends at a school exhibition and barbecue at Shady Dale, where he bad accepted an invitation from the superintendent' of the high school and the trustees there of to make an address upon this sub ject: "Tie great importance of the study of Latin in our high schools and the power of oratory.” He deeply regrets to disappoint his many friends there and endeavored strenuously to get excused from court, but failed to do so. Mr. Fitzpatrick laughingly says his titles have been many. Years ago he as a so-called lawyer in Eatonton and was called at first “Squire” and later "Colonel.” Then ?ie became a teacher and for a long series of years taught school in south Georgia, hav ing been superintendent of large and successful schools at Blakely.

The best cigars manufactured come from Cuba, the tobacco for which is cultivated in the famous Vuelta de Ab- ajo district, west of Havana. This fa vored spot is located on the banks of a. river, the nature of the soil being such that in no other part of the world can leaves of such excellence be produced. The most expensive cigars made cost about 30s. each. The largest cigars come from the Philippine Islands, some of them be ing 18 inches in length. Italy has the reputation of manufac turing some of the strongest smokers In the world. A good cigar will burn slowly and equally; the weed tbit smoulders up one side is of inferior quality. The color of the ash is not an accu rate guide, but if tho ash dispiav.s a black “lip." a thin dark line around the edge nearest the mouth, it is proof positiny of an indifferent cigar. Tie ash of a good cigar should also stand well. If the leaf of a cigar has a greasy appearance or shows green blotches cr is of a pale sicklv yellow the wrap per is (made of inferior tobacco; the wrapper is a certain criterion of the cigar’s contents. Many people believe that the light spots marking some cigars are indi cators of the predatory habits of an insect which attack only a good leaf, but as a matter of fact these spots are due to the combined action of the sun and rain. About 20.GOC.-COO cigars are smoked yearly In this country. Laurence Oliphant, the celebrated author and traveler, is said to have introduced the cigarette into England, about the year 1344.
