slowed up at Montezuma the passen
gers noticed two bright little country
boys, with their suits of checked home-

were anxiously awaiting the arrival of
the train. As the conductor called
out in the distinct manner peculiar to
the fraternity, the name of the station,
“M-o-n-t-e-z u-m-a! P the oldest of

The English sparrows, which are
eaten in Philadelphia and other North
ern cities, are said to be a great deli-
cacy. The flesh of the sparrow is dark-
than that of the reed bird, but
the Philadelphia cooks say that only
those who have never eaten anything
but reed birds can tell the difference.
If the little nuisances are good to eat,
let us devise some means by which
the millions that infest Albany can be
canght and devoured. They are too
cunniog to be caught in traps, and as
they are city birds, it would endan
ger the public to make war on them
with gnns. Can't some genius devise
a plan for getting bold of them ?
Buck Smith, charged with being
accessory lo the stabbing of Mr. Boat-
wright) by Gas Cato, at Acree, was
arrested on Monday. He was brought
to the city and lodged in jail, but gave
bond and was released yesterday. Gas
Cato hgs also given bond for his ap
pearance at the next term of Worth

A Cyclone.
Tuesday morning about 7 o'clock
our citizens were surprised at seeing a

the appearance of locomotive smoke,
but much thicker and wider, sufficient
ly so to hide the sun in its passage.
Quite a number of our people suppos
ed it to be merely a cloud of smoke
from one of the locomotives, but the
rumbling, rolling sound and rapidly
curling movement of the cloud seemed
to indicate that it was a cyclone, and
one tiiat had gathered somewhere in
our neighborhood. It passed off to

Tbe City Tax Case Against tbe S„

for taxes, is of local interest:
City ot Albany vs. Savannah, Florida
and Western railroad Injunction,
from Dongherty. Tax. Municipal
Corporations. Railroads.
Blanfobd, J.—1. A municipal cor
poration cannot exercise any power not
granted by the Legislature, nor can it
exercise a power which the State re
serves to itself, and which the Legis
lature has provided should be exer
cised by its own officers. Therefore
tbe Legislature having provided by the
act of 1874 for returns to be made
by reilroads to the Comptroller-
General and payment 'of taxes to
him, in a particular way, if power to
assess and levy a t»x on railroads had
previously been conferred on a mu
nicipal corporation, it must yield to
the last act upon the subject
2. There was no power in the city
of Albany to levy and collect a lax
upon the property used by a railroad
in the limits of the city in the opera
tion and business of the company, it
beiug levied on such property and not
upon property other than that used
for railroad purposes. Judgment
affirmed.

ALBANY, GEOHSIA.
A MURDEROUS ASSAULT.
Dr. J. D. Weston serloualy Cat By
m. Negro,
Last Saturday afternoon our citizens
were shocked at learning that Mr.
Jesse D. Weston, son ot Capt. S. R.
Weston, of this cily, had been as
saulted and stabbed by a negro. The
sad intelligence spread like wildfire
throughout the city, where Mr. Wes
ton has such a host of friends.
The particulars were as follows:
At about half-past four o’clock Satur
day afternoon Mr. Weston was pur
chasing some shingles at the ware
house of Capt. S. R. Weston front
Henry Robinson, a shingle cutter liv
ing about four miles east of this city,
when a dispute arose, in which the
negro was very impudent. Mr. Wes
ton, disgusted with the negro's ac
tions, struck at him with his hand and
turned to leave, thinking the matter
settled. Just as his back was turned
and he was walking away the negro
came up behind him aud reaching
around him with a knife stabbed him
severely in the abdomeu. Robinson
then proceeded down tbe street and
informed City Matshal Westbrook
that a man had struck at him with a
stick. Westbrook told him to go with
him and he would find the man. The
negro retused and walked away. It
was soon discovered that Robinson
had wounded Mr. Weston. Sheriff
Edwards at once grasped the situa
tion aud hurried down to Tift’s bridge,
where he le;t orders that the negro be
not allowed to pass. From there he
proceeded to the bridge of tbe Bruns
wick and Western Railroad and found
Robinson about to cross. He arrest
ed and lodged him in jail.
It was some minutes before Mr.
Weston discovered that he had been
seriously injured. A cot was pro
cured «nd placid in WVston’s ware
house office, and Dr. Hi Ismail prompt
ly summoned to examine and dre*-
«he wound. About du-k he wa«
taken home hy a number of willing
and anxious friends.

“What did you do with it?” “Well,
sab, all dat I had wtiz inside ob me. an’
I had so much dat I couldn’t cany it
away, so I jess stayed dar.”
—“The modern girl,” Bays a brave
contemporary, after reading the public
a lecture on reforms, “is as helpless in
a family as a piece of broken furniture.
She cannot make her own clothes nor
cook her own dinner, and is hardly
able to darn her own stockings. Most
of them could not wash, 6tarch and
iron a shirt to save their life. This,”
he observes, “is not only a drawback to
their usefulness, but very detrimental
to their health. No possible substitute
for useful employment can be found io
any mere physical exercise, under
taken for sanitary purposes. A
walk or a turn in the
gymnasium is better than supine
ness, but neither of them as an Idle
task can enlarge the consent of the
mind in a way to excite to normal
action the healthful functions of the
body. Why,” he demands, “do young
men shrink from matrimony? Be
cause on one man’s purse or brain or
busy bands must come the entire sup
port of an idle family. Why do the
daughters hesitate to encourage a suit
or? Because he has no capital, no as
sured income, and she is helpless.
The bitter evils which come to society
from this source canuot be enumerated 1
but they are startling enongli to engage
the attention of thoughtful minds.”
The City Council met in regular
semi-monthly session at 8 o’clock Mon
night. Present: Mayor Greer and
Aldermen Wight, Jones, Lewis, Hobbs
and Gortatosky.
Minutes of last meeting were read
and confirmed.
Alderman Wight moved that ihe
Cemetery Committee be instructed
to proceed at once to have a brick
wall constructed between the Jewish
cemetery and the city cemeteiy. Mr
J. Lorch, President of the Hebrew
Congregation, appeared before Coun
cil, and, by permission, made a state
ment with reference to the wishes of
the Hebrew citizens, and urged upon
Council to have the wall built without
futhcr delay. Alderman Wight’s mo-
ton was unanimously adopted.
Alderman Gortatowsky reported
that the Fire Department was very
much in need of more hose, as well a*
some buckets and”axes. Upon mo
tion the Committee on Fire Depart
ment were instructed to purchase 750
feet of hose, four axes and tweiie
rubber buckets for use of the De
partment.
Alderman Wight stated that Defi
ance Fire Company No. 3 was very
much embarrassed by not having an
engine house of its own. He there
fore moved that a.committee he ap
pointed to confer with Capt. John A.
Davis with the view of leasing or pur
chasing his brick building|in rear of
the Westbrook building on Jackson
street, for the purpose o' converting
the- same into an engine.’house. The
motion prevailed, and Aldermen
Wight, Hobbs and Gortatowsky were
appointed as the committee to confer
with Capt. Davis.
Alderman Lewis moved t> reconsid
er so much of the action of last meet
ing as fixed the price for drays hauling
fire engines 'to fires at $2.50. He
moved that drays be allowed $5, as
heretofore. T k e motion was carried
by a vote of three to two ; but Aider-
man Jores gave notice that he would
move another reconsideration as soon
as Alderman Tift got well enough to
attend Council, for the purpose of fix
ing the price again at $2 50.
The Mayor stated that he thought
that after the first of October another
day policeman would be needed to as
sist the Marshal. Council refused to
authorize the employment of such ad
ditional officer, after which the meet
ing adjourned.

Tbommille Protests Against tbe
New Through Route Over the
Brunswick & Western to Way*
cros*.
The following from the Thomas-
ville Enterprise will be read in Al
bany with some local interest. The
News'and Advertises has no com
ment to make upon it, as it matters
very little with us which route the
through sleepers take, as they will
have to pas* through Albany any
how:
A short time apro it was announced
that the LotiisvifWainl Nashville and
Central Raiiroads had effected an ar
rangement by which the through
sleeping cars from the West would be
sent over the Brunswick and Western
Ruilroad via Albany to Wavcross,
thereby giving Thoinasville the go by.
Col. A. P. Wright heard of this, and
with an eye open to the promotion ol
the city’s interests.immedi itely wrote
lo Col. H. S Haines, General Manage
of the S. F. & W. 1 tail way, telling him
of the accommodations which would
be offered Northern visitors to this
city this winter by the new Piney
Woods (or H. B Plant House, or what
ever it may finally be cailen) Hoti
and requesting him to use his valuable
influence toward* preventing a diver
>ion of through travel from ihl
point.
In response. Col. Haines stated that
in view of there facts, the Chicago
sleeper via Moutgomeiy will, he be
lieve-,be sent to Waver -ss via Thoni-
asville instead of the B. & W. Rail
way. This will secure facilities for
reachiug Thomasville, the depriva
tion of which would have been seri
oualy felt Col. Wright is entitled to
the thanks of the community for jiis
sagacity and foresight.

A Gloomy Crop Report.
Capt. £•!. L. Wight returned Mon
day afternoon from a visit to Baker
county, and bring* back a very^gloamv
crop report Capt. Wight is well ac
quainted in Baker, and h is an experi
ence a* a cotton fac.or in this secti
extending over a good many years,
anil his views about a cotton crop are
therefore worth something, afttr he
has seen it. He say* that he found
the poorest cotton crop on this trip
he lias ever recn in Bak* r c«>umy,
and that nothing like half au average
crop will he made.
The best crops lie saw were those
of- Mr. Primus W. Jones and Major
Holly C. Cumfield. These gentlemen
have very fair crops, but’they are ex
ceptions. They planted ver\ early
and their crops were pretty well made
before the July drouth set in. Their
crops cannot tie compared to those of
lust year, but are far above the aver
age for this year.
Sugar cane, Capt. Wight says, is al
most a total failure. In many in
stances the planters will bare'y make
seed. Pea*, pindnrs and other *sid<
crops’’ are also very short, and the
harvest outlook, as seen by Capt.
Wight, is anything but encouraging
He says, however, that plenty of corn
has been made, and that there are
more hogs in the country than he has
ever seen before since the war. While
this year’s cotton crop is very short,
he thinks the farmers, as.a rule,.are iu
better con- ition to sustain tl e loss
than they would have been last year.
Wbat to Glye a Boy to Read.
The New York Sun gave this ex
cellent advice to a father who a-ked
the editor to recommend a book that
he could give his son, which would
help in forming his character. The
father inquired whether Lord Ches
terfield's letters would be a fit vol
ume for the purpose. To which the
Sun answers in the negative, pro
nouncing the author’s moral standard
low, his views of life cynical, and the
tendency of the work to cultivate
merely tbe external aud artificial rath
er than develop the best rntrin^ic
qualities of a young man. “Mr.
Brown’s Letter to His Nephew,’’ also
“Pendennis,” both by Thackaray; and
“The Vicar of Wakefield” are strong
ly recommended; others from the
well selected list—Carlyle's “Sartor
Resartus,” if the boy is serious and
old enough, Scott’s works, and ending
with Smiles’ “Self H"lp,”a hook that
canuot but give strength and charac
ter to any young mind that reads it.
IT the cho*ce is to be coufined to one
of these, “Self Help’* would proba
