THE COST OF STAMPED ENVEL
OPE*.
A Reduction of Ten Per Cent. In
the Price Alter January I. 1882.
Washington, October 20.—The
Postrna*ter General has adopted a
schedule prepared bv Third Assist
ant Poalmasler-Genenl Hazcu, fix
ing the ratCB at which stamped en
velopes will be sold to the public
after January 1,1883. The law pro
vides that these envelopes shall be
furnished to purchasers at the cost
of production, and by the advan
tageous terms secured through a new
contract lhe department is enabled
to reduce the price of the envelopes
about 10 pci cent. This result is
gratifying to the officers of the de
partment, for the present rate is 20
per cent, lower than the cost under I
the former contract, and the depart
ment is now enabled to sell the let-!
ter sizes o* these envelopes at one j
dollar a id eighty cents per 1,000, in j
addition to the post ige, while the
cost, twelve years, for an inferior
article was four dollars and eighty
cents per 1,000. The department has
also arranged to print special i t turn
request notices upon the envelopes
without additional charge, when or
dered in qualities of 500 or more.
General Hazen states that it is a fact
not generally known that stumped
envelopes, when spoiled through
misdirection or other causes, can be
exchanged for a postage stamp of
the same denomination at the near-
esijpostoffice.
Tbe First Loudon Rothschild.
Rothschild was the third son of a
banker at Frankfort. “There was
not,’’ lie said “room for us all in the
city. I dealt in English gootU. One
groat trader came there who had
the market all to himself. He was
quite the great man, and did us a
tavor if he sold us the goods. Some
how I offended him and lie refused
to show us his patterns. This was
on Tuesday. I said to my father:
*I will go to Eugland.’ I could speak
nothing but German. On Timr-day
I started. The nearer I got to Eng
land the cheaper goods were. As
soon as 1 got to Manchester, 1 laid
out all my money, things were so
cheap, and made good profit. I soon
found that there were three profits
—on theruw material, the dying and
the manutacturing. I said to the
manufacturer; ‘I will supply you
with material and dye, aud you sup
ply me with the mauuiactured
goods.’ So I got three profits in
stead of one, and I could sel! goods
cheaper than anybody. Iu a very
short time I increased my jL‘20,000 to
£100.000.
“My success all turned on one
maxim. 1 said: ‘I can do what
.'another man can, and so I am a
match for the man with the patterns
and the rest of them/’ Another ad
vantage i had—l was a i off-hand
man; I um'de a bargain at once.
When 1 was settled in London the
East India Company had £800.000 of
gold to sell. 1 went to the sale and
bought it all. I knew the Duke of
Wellington must have it (or the pay
of his army in the Peninsula. I hud
bought a great many of his bills at
a discount. The Government soul
for me, and said they must have it.
When they got it, they didn’t know
how to get i*. to Portugal. I under
took all that, and sent it through
France, and that was the best busi
ness 1 ever did.”
Now there is some satisfaction in
reading the Constitution the day it is
published. It isn’t the redater any
more. The fast mail is a great insti
tution so far.

It will be well for managers of
elections, not only in this city and in
the Second District, but throughout
the State, to remember that under the
constitution of the State no one is a
qualified voter who has not paid all
taxes which have accrued since its
adoption, viz: Taxes for 1878, 1879,
1880 and 1881. It will take a very
large slice of the Hubbell fund to pay

tion. in any instance, to fiitlier the
political interests of either Governor
Stephens or of Governor Colquitt, I
will reply by forcing the falsehood
into his teeth with a blow.’’
Why We Eat Oytterc Raw.
Dr.'William Roberts in his inter
esting Icciur on th« digest*ve fer-
men, -avs; “Our practice it: regard
to the oysters is quite exceptional
and furnishes a striking example of
the general correctness of the popu
lar judgment on dietetic y ties lions.
The oyster is almost the only animal j Georgia,

know that there is u sound physio

preference. The fawn-colored mass] Republicans or not.

Drug Store Drink Exepanc:**.
At a recent banquet ot the I;!inoi«
Pharmaceutical society Mr. K.S Bald
win said: “On entering a modern
drug store you walk buldlv up to the
bemuslached and bejeweied clerk,and,
_ df you know \ our business, and it is a
Intemperance town, you wiuk at the
fellow and say something about ma
laria. - It is a matter of indifference
just what you say ; the single word
‘malaria” is the golden open sesame.
Whenever I see a man coming out of
a drug s ere and wiping his mouth, I
realize to its full and awful extent the
hold that malaria has on this unfortu
nate people. What the drug stores in
a town where a strict lie-use law pre
vails would do without ‘‘malaria’, is a
hard ptobleiu.’*
A man who wantonly vrounded a
third with a rifle is reported by the
lTfotaf Canadian as having made this
Trank confession : “It fluttered across
Jthe field, whegs l followed it^ and
Ifound the panting sufferer at its nest,
I and the blood dripping upon its voung.

reflections like a guilty batcher as I
I was.
The bosses in Atlan*a justnow have
their eye-brows elevated over the tact
that Governor Stephens has appointed
Mr. C. W. Seidell, a Republican, as
his private secretary, and Evan How
ell is credited with saying that “the
first thing anybody knows he will
have the capitol filled with tramps
aud thieves:” Jesso. If the bosses
think they have little Alex, well in
hand they are vermuch mistaken.
He is going to appoint whoever he
pleases, and the bosses need not think
he will let them make up the State for
him. In the little matter of Senator
be tuay take their orders, but as
general thing he is going to carry out
what he said in his acceptance. He
is going to make this a government for
all the people, and an Independent or
a Radical may walk up to the trough
with the utmost impunity, that is, of
coure; if the little man says so.
The Atlanta Herald explains Gen.
Gartrell’s intentions iu this wise. He
admits that Mr. Stephens was elected
aud has no intention to contest bi«.
election, but he will present a memo
rial to the Legislature asking the ap
pointment of a committee to investi
gate the “frauds, bribery, etc.,’* in the
election. If he does it will ruin him.
That would please the Republicans^
and be a great wrong to the people o '
Georgia. Let him try it. He will
fail to show anything serious.—Mil
led gevf lie Recorder.
On the contrary, we think it would
be just the thing whether it pleases
If he “tails to
show anything serious” then “no great
wrong to the people of Georgia’’ is
done, for it will forever set at rest the
hue and cry that is invariably setup
by defeated candidates. But our idea
is that General Gartreli is going to do
not liing of the kind. The only step
he wilt take, in our opinion, will be
to step into his office and resume hi>
lucrative practice o! law.

At a meeting of the Board of Direc
tois of the Souihwestem railroad,
held in Macon ou Monday at eleven
o’clock at Central Georgia bank, Col.
John E. Jones was elected President
of the ermpany, to fill tile unexpired
term of Gen. W. S. Holt. Vice-Presi
dent W. G. Raoul, of the Central rail
road, was elected to fill the vacancy in
the Board of Directors, caused by ihe
death of W. M. Watlley, and J. J
Gresham was elected to fill the vacan
cy caused by the promotion of Col.
Jones from the Directorship to the
Presidency. Col. Jones was the old
est Director of the road, having served
since February 12,1863. The board
as now constituted stands in the order
of priority of services: John E Jones,
President. Directors—Virgil Powers
A. R. Lawton, J. S. Baxter, T. B.
Gresham. George S. Jones, W. G.
Raoul, J. J. Gresham. The elections
made 10-day will stand until the
annual meeting of the stockholders of
the road in February next, when no
doubt the election will be unanimous
ly confirmed by re election. A com
mittee, consisting, of J. J. Gresham,
Virgil. Powers and John S. Baxter,
were appointed co dralt suitable reso-
lntionson the death of General Holt
and Mr. Wadley.
ical bringings-up could not recon
cile themselves to the open love
making. We bad been nsed to see
love making indulged iu iu conserv
atories and dark hall ways, while ail
tbe public demonstrations that uc
had ever been compelled to wink at
were sly hand squeezes and surrep
titious glances. But here the thing
was different. This couple had come
to the theatre to amuse themselves,
aud while they watched the per
formance they did not neglect the
other business on hand. Itwasvciy
warm in the theatre that evening,
bat the heated air was not nearly so
warm as their feelings toward each
other. So they sal very close to
each other. Not only that, but he
had his brawny right arm around
her by no means diminutive waist,
and every miuute he would give her
a hug that would nearly make her
black in the face. But she seemed
to like it, for about every second hug
she would look up in his face with a
very touching expression of min
gled love, trust and “do-it-aguiu-
please” oil tier face. Aud he, when
ever this opportunity offered itself
would
IMPRINT X LARGE KISS
Upon her upturned face, and gaze
down into her eyes with a look of
love that was truly touching. Be
tween the fervidity of their love and
that of tbe theatre air, the perspira
tion was rolling down their faces iu
miniature cataracts. Bui that made
no difference: they would lay their
cheeks together just as affectionate l>
as if they had been on the ivy-clau
porch ot an East Oakland cottage,
with the balmy air ot a summer
evening playing about them. It
seemed to me that kisses under such
circumstances must have been rath
er salty. No doubt they were; '.nt
he seemed to enjoy them for all their
saltiness, while she tairly revelled
iu them. Ou the L_lile in front of
them was a large quart vessel of
beer. Between hugs and kisses he
would baud her the beer; she
would take a good long pull at it,
and pass it to him, mid be carefully
selecting the place where her rosy
lips had touched the glass, would
also drink. And though thi- sort of
thing was kept up during the whole
evening and was seen by a large
number of peop'e, no one but Chi
cago and I paid any particular mt-
tertion to it. Ouce in a while some
old, steady German would glauce
that way. and his face would light
up with a meaning smile as he
thought of his own exploits in Ihe
same line *‘so many years ago;” but
that was all. The lovers
KEPT UP THEIR CARESSES
Just as ir there wasn’t another per
son within a thousand miles of
them.
This custom of several persons
drinking beer out of the same vessel
is not confined to lovers. One sees
families solemnly sifting around
■able, with the beer circulating from
hand to hand, each taking bis or her
share in strict conscientious rota
tion. In such cusps there U no pro
miscuous grabbing at the vessel and
a‘ first come first seived” appro
priation of iis contents. Like every-
thtng el-e here in Germany, there
must be a strict routine about the
thing. The father ot the family
alw'ays takes the initiative. Ue
slowly and calmly lakes his drink.
Then the vessel goes to the mother.
She driuks, and passes it to the
eldest son, the vessel passed down
the line ul sons in the order of their
ages. Then it circulates among the
daughters, beginning with the eldest
aud winding up with the youngest,
whence it goes back to its station
before the father Of course, if the
first drinkers are thirsty, the others
do not get their full share. But
there is generally a sort of drinking
honor displayed which assures equal
justice to everybody concerned. And
it dues the younger portion t>f the
family no good to look with longing
e/es upon the beer, for it begins to
circulate only when the father feels
thirsty.
The money In Honey and Bees-
Monroe AtiTcrtlaer,
“How is your apiary coming on i’ :
we asked Mr. Frank Wilder.
“My bees are gettiug on nicely,
but they have not made honey to
amount to anything in the last few
weeks. The storm of the ninth of
September seemed to stop the.boney
flow in some way or the othei*. At
any rate, my bees have not made
much honey since then.’’
- “Have you sold many bees this
year ?’’
“Not a great many bees but quan
tities of honey. I have made enough
on my apiary to pay the provision
oil! of my family this year, and also
the expenses of my farm.’’
We expressed surprise at this
statement, but Mr. Wilder assured
us.it is a fact, “What is the biggest
yield you have had this year from
one liive?”.
“I have one hive from which I
have obtained three hundred and
fifty pounds. I would not take $50
for that colony. That is the biggest
yield I ever heard of, except in one
case. There is a man in Texas who
repoits seven hundred pounds as
the product of one colony iu one
year. That is enormous, aud I never
heard of the like before.”
“I have now fifty hives,” con
tinued Mr. Wilder, “and I cannot
attend to them and to my other busi
ness. I believe that I lost a thous
and pounds of honey in September
by not' being able to attend
to the bees when they needed it. I
intend to bring out a young man
from Ohio next spring—if I can get
the right sort of a one—and put him
in charge of my apiary. I am satis
fied that I can make a deal of money
by it’’
1 was going througli the basement
of a public building, several days
since, when an official directed my
attention to an old man who is em
ployed looking after the engine that
runs the elevator. “That man,” said
he, “once was prominent as a
member of the House of
Representatives. Afterward he was
Lieutenant-Governor of his State.
Then he was returned to Congress.
During the war no member did
more to getiarge appropriations for
soldiers, and he had probably more
connection than any other one man
with the present internal revenue
laws, the repealed iucome-lax laws.
He could have made millions when
the tax was put on whisky, but he
did not, for he was in the secret.
To shorten the thing up he drank
himself out of Congress, and all the
way down to this cellar. Here he
receives $18 a month as a substitute
for the regular engineer. He is al
lowed to help in the basement here.”

KeeUng ul tbe Grand Lodge.
Macon Graphic.
The grand lodge of Free and Ac
ccpted Masons for toe Suite of Geor
gia convened in Masonic Temple this
morning at ten " o’clock, with Most
VYorshiptul Grand Master J. I,
Wright in the clmir, with the follow
ing qrand officers in their places: J.
M. Bushing in the West and J. S.
Davidson in South-; J,;E. Wells
at the treasurer’s stand; W. W.
Goodman, S. G. D.; A. C. McIntosh,
J. G. D. The bulge was opined
in due form and the calling of the
roll proceeded with.
Thete are over three hundred
delegates present, with quite a num
ber of visitors. This grand body- is
composed of masters of lodges—
? ast masters and past grand officers.
here are over three hundred sub-
erdinate lodges in tbe State, and all,
are represented. It is a fine looking
body of men—embracing some of
the prominent citizens of the State.
There is one noticible feature—that
is the number of new faces present.
An old member, who lias attended
for twenty-five years says that there
is a greater pro potion of new faces
this ever than he ever noticed be
fore in the grand body, and that
there is a large sprinkling of young
men than ever before.
The prominent feature of the
morning session was the delivery of
he Grand Master’s address. It is a
lengthy nocuunut but it is full uf
wisdom and wise suggestions. If
its recommendations were only car
ried out by Masons the order woeid
be exceedingle more prosperous,
and the world would be Erectly ben
efited, Grand Master Wright evi
dently has the good of Masonry at
heart,’ as well as the interests of his
fellowman and he has put himself
on rec rd among his brethren in un
mistakable terms.
There are a number of past grand
masters and deputy grand masters
present.
Ths sessions of the Grand Lodge
will continue two or three days—at
least until all the business is dis
posed of.
The Hotels and boarding houses
are ail well filled, and the streets
present a lively’ appearance.
Tbe Fast Train.
Macon Giaphie.
The new fast train on the Central
railroad came down on time yester
day morning trom Atlanta, drawn
by "the engine, Ohio. The train was
iu charge of Conductor Groensteiu
and Engineer James Flanders, who
are among the best ill their respec
tive positions of any of the employes
of Ihe company. Quite a crowd had
athered at tiie depot to see the pon-
erous locomotive and magnificent
■•caches. The train went on through
to Savannah with the same engine
and conductor, but with Engineer
Mnlletie at the lever.
Crowds continue to galheraround
every fast train that comes ii-. We
are informed that tbe run was made
from Atlanta this morning in two
hours and forty minutes. There
was a delay of forty-five minutes in
leaving, caused by waiting on the
Western and Atlantic train.-
Attsched to the train was some
thing rather novel to our people, in
the shape of the elegant Pullman
hotel car St Nicholas. It went on
through to Savannah, and is to run
regularly on the line. It is said that
Ihe present schedule is to be run a
week or two by way of an experi
ment, and that then it will be con
siderably quickened until the ran is
made in two hours and a-half.
And now the young ialy who h:s
been off on her uncle's farm, work
ing like an at my nmic at churning
and mending clothes, comes back to
the city, arid the society paper an
nounces that Miss Eva Golddust, of
East Fortieth s'reet, has returned
from an extended tour through the
noithern part of Maine.—Puck.
and ax fiat cats attached *o the other
train, were demolished. When the
engines struck ihe engineer and fire
man on engine 71 were unable to es
cape, and -.he latter was instantly
killed, white the loimer was badly
.hurt. The name of the luckless
fireman was Gresham., His body was
badly mashed, cud Ins death was al
most instant. The engineer was George
Garvin, and his injuries consist of a
broken leg ami several painful bruises.
The engineer and fiiemitn on tbe other
engine escaped unhurt. Mr. King,
tiie road master of tire road, was on the
South bound train, and at once went
to work to clear the track. Yesterday
Captain Bealtey, assistant superinten
dent of the road, left with a train of
wreckers, and the track will be clear
by this morning.
Although both trains were behind
time, neither was movingly telegraph
ic urdet-R but both on plain time-card
rules, and in order that injustice may
be done no one, tiie rai'ioad authorities
have declined to assert where the fault
is until a lull and fair hearing aud in
vestigation can be had.
The Last or tbe Irish Klnce.
The Atlanta Constitution of the
25th mst. contained a report of the
proceedings and entertainment at
Liberty Ball of the committee sent
down to escort Governor' Stephens
to the capital. Among oilier highly
interesting and very pleasing things
said by Georgia's statesman ou that
occasion, was the following tribute
to a great Irishman :
^ “This room,"’ said Mr. Stephens,
whirling into a bedroom adjoining
the library, “was occupied the night
it was finished by Smith O’Brien,
the last of the line of tiro Irish sings
of Munster. He spciit a week with
me and -was the grandest man in
some respects 1- ever knew. His
book on representative government
is the profqumleel woik 1 ever read,
except Mr. Callfotifi’s.Vml is much
more elaborate. He was tiie fore
most or the Irish patriots in dignity
and power. 1 had Toombs iiere to
meet hint frequently, and it was in
teresting to see them together. Mr.
Toombs was then very exircme—it
was.in 1859, anil I had resigned in
view ol‘the coming storm—and was
umd of painting to O’Brien what a
magnificent republic we could make
ot the South it We were only cut off
from the body ot death, as lie called
the North, in hisqaiet but positive
way O'Brien would insist that the
perpetuity of tie American Union
was t lie only hope for true repres
entative government on the earth,
I never entertained a greater man
than this brave and saddened Irish-
man.'
An Actress** Joke.
When Marie Sass was playing
Queen Se.ika in “L'Afrieaine,” in
l’uris, she was living at Enghien
and one night, when numerous eu-
cores had prolonged the perforin
auce until nearly midnight, she was
in danger of missing the lost train
out. So, not taking time to change
her dress, she wrapped herself in a
large cloak and hastened to the sta
tionjastin time to catch the train.
She fell into a-doze in a corner of
the compartment, bat was soon
aroused by a horified shriek from
her solitary fellow-traveler. Her
cloak had slipped o<L and lie, sud
denly noticing her barbaric attire,
was scared nearly ont ot his wits.
With a cry of terror he pulled the
bell-rope furiously, stopped the
train, and insisted on the guard giv
ing him some other compartment
than that occupied by “that wild
woman.” Mary Sass explained tiie
■natter to the guard, and he told the
passengers in the other carriages,
and all agreed that the joke was
good enough to excuse the delay hi
their journey.
The Spoils System Under Van Boren
Mr. Paulding, while Secretary of
the Navy in 1838, wrote a letter to
bis friend, Washington Irving,
which very graphically describes the
condition of the civil service at that
time and through ail the years since.
He said : “Twenty-six States and
Territories stand arrayed like
mauy sturdy beggars, each clamor
ing for a share of the loaves and
fishes, and making the smallest of
fice a State affair. For my part
have not yet had bat one solitary
chance of consulting my inclina
tions in these malteis,and then a
whole State rose against it, because
he was not exactly the tnan desired
* * These are great loaves and
fishes whiclt arc contested for by
whole States in a body. Yon have
no idea how the delegations scram
ble for these crumbs, and how diffi
cult it is to parry them.’’

At one of the registry conrts at
Loudon recently, a Jew old clothes

President Garfield, a short time

whose life was so soon to go out in
frightful suffering heroically borne.
A clergeman cho3e for his text the

“Will no one go with the worthy

Pennsylvania is enthusiastically
celebrating the bi-cciitenial of Wil

and the fact that be is almost the

served to hand his name down to an
admiring posterity. It is perhaps
due to his successors to admit that
the Indians of his day had not been
contaminated by the influences of
civilization, and were innocent of
bad whisky and other forms of de
pravity.— Chicago Times.
