The temperance people, the Chicago
Neics thinks, have great encourage*

years ago it avers, truly, that the abo

far advanced as la llg* temperance

years bring forth for temperance?
John Sukkmas has been telling a
New York newspaper reporter why
Ohio was lost by the Republicans.
When asked why the ‘‘grand old par
ty^ did not carry the Su*c lie answer
ed: “Because they tried to bring re

timidly inquired the reporter. “Well,
temperance rather, which is about the
same thing. The Ohio Republicans

The stock for the first ostrich farm
in the United S.ates was shipped from
this city yesterday. It consisted of
three pairs of 3-ycar old ostriches.
The destination of the birds was Syl
van Lake, Orange county, Fla.; the
mode of conveyance the Mallory Line
steamer Western Texas. The birds
shipped weighed from 150 to 200
pounds each, and stood about 7 feet
high without any stockings. They
are natives of Nubia, in Upper Ain-
ca, ai d were captured while young
by agents ol Charles Seiche & Bro.,
of this city and Hoboken, who are
part proprietors of the projected os
trich farm. It took eight months to
transport safelv the birds from Nnbia
to this city. They reached here on
September 2, and for the past six
weeks have been reveling in a diet of
a fine quality of hay and a delicious
mash of bran, oats and cracked corn
iu the wilds of the Keiches* wild ani
mal farm at Hoboken. Notwith
standing their cordial reception and
princely treatment, they were a dis
couraged and disheartened set of birds
when they set out on their yoyage to
■ he snnny Sooth. Their plumage was
very much mtuplcd and broken, and
they seemed to pine for one sqotie
meal of the sands of the desert. The
attendants assert that the broken
plumage was due to the accidents
and incidents of tbeir long voyage
rather than a yearning for sand as a
steady diet and the exhibition of de
plorable bad taste In the rejection of
Hoboken tomato cans and broken
glassware as a substitute.
Mr. Chariton Jones will be the
guardian of the flock on their arrival
in Florida. He has set apart one
hundred acres of his 500-acre farm
for the purpose of this experiment in
farming. ------

The Ba»e Ball Xcuon Binds Up In

Augusta Evening News.
Burke county wus Ihe scene of a
most tragic occurrence yesitvda},
and added a regular Sunday battle
to its bloody record. The neighbor
hood of McKean, already made loo
conspicuous by the dork deeds ol
Anderson Jones, was the locality ot
the affray, and the particular spot
was a church near the station
McHcau, on the Central Road, not
over 20 miles from Augti-la, in
Burke county.
The parties engaged, we regret to
add. were all white people, and the
limited reports which have come to
the city to-day show that this serious
difficulty occurred last afternoon at
the church, a result or renewal of a
row the afternoon bc!o<*e over a base
ba.l game, at which young Sims was
cut by young Rogers with a knife
On one side of the conflict Mr Toni
Sirns, an elderly citizen and prosper
ous larincr of Burke county, with his
sons, Frank, Brit and Duff are said
to have been engaged, anil the other
parly is reported to be made tip of
young Messrs. T. B. and J.dm M
Rogers, John Cox, the*r brother-in-
law, and it is also said that Wally
Rogers and Rofe McNonrel were in
the difficulty. All of these gentle
men are well known and well-to-do
(armors of Burke county, and lived
in or ttear Me Bean and not far front
Waynesboro, the county site.
The particulais ot the bloody af
fray are'impossible to get to-day and
may not be revealed until the court
investigation, but*the result is terri
ble enough. Mr. Tom Sims, the
father, \vas shot and killed imme
diately, his sons Frank and Brir,
wore also shot mortally, it is said,
and Mr. Fulcher, who can.e up to
order a coffin to-day for the father,
expected to find the sons dead on his
return. Who tired the fatal shots is
not known, or has not transpired, for
wi»h so many pistols tiringatthe
same lime, it was almost impossible
to see. These serious results to one
party were escaped by the other side,
but one of the Rogers brothers, T.
B., it is thought, was seriously shot
in the face. The other hi other, who
is a one-legged man, escaped unhurt.
Mr. Cox is reported as wounded, but
this lacks continuation.
None of the parties have escaped or
attempted to do anything of the kinu.
They will appear at the preliminary
and regular trials, and stand the in
vestigation of llic difficulty iu the
courts. Comments, therefore, are
out of place, and, in fact, impossible
with this bare statement of the facts.
Public opinion even at McBcnn has
had no time to settle down, but each
side will, of course, bring strong
cases into court. The ablest legal
talent in Augusta has already been
engaged, JudgeJIl. D D. Twiggs hav
ing been retained for the defense of
Messrs. Rogers ami Cox, at 5 o'clock
this morning, by Mr. Lindsay Jones,
after an all night’s ride from Burke,
while Messrs. Foster & Lamar were
sought out for the opposite side by
Mr. Fulcher before Mr. H. C. Foster
arrived at his office this morning
from his country residence. .
The news from Burke is thus the
sensation iu court and police circles,
and the crowd at the court house
collect iu busy groups and discuss
the latest from the battle ground.
The case will in all probability come
up at (lie approaching term of Burke
Superior Court, and with able and
eloquent attorneys from Augusta
and Waynesboro, it will become a
cause celobre in the criminal docket.
Later—Reports from Burke say
that both Mr. Torn Sims and his son,
Frank, arc dead, and that seven balls
went into Mr. bints’ body. It is
also said that he was killed by T. B.
Rogers, who is himself badly wound
ed iu the face. Another one of the
Sims boys escaped death by the mus
cular intervention of a lady on the
scene, who held a young man about
to shoot him. The affair seems to
have been a general battle with the
nimble pistols.

leave his order for a coffin and un

stories were calculated to cause Mr.

Wc might very well here proceed
to read Thomasville a moral lecture
on the sin of lying— indeed, we have
been justified by the facts frequently
in doing so, because for several years
certain hash venders there have kept
red-hot a batch of lies, similar to those
nai-ed above, but we don’t believe
the people at large over there give
countenance to any such villianous
methods.
We might also castigate the inter

no credit to us. We therefore only

Beast Butler is not going to have
anything like a walk-over to a second
.o‘-m as Governor of Massachusetts.
‘•Old Line Democrats” have issued an
address in which they declare that
they will not srpport him although
he has been inane the nominee
of the Democratic party of the State,
and the second man who has been
selected to run on the ticket with him
for Lieutenant Governor is about to
desert him in despair and disgust
The Phpadelphia Times suggests
that the best thing to do with Beast
Butler is to tarn him loose on (he
Mormons. That wouldn’t be a bad
idea, but somehow we would hate to
see him taken away from Massachu
setts right away. That such a miser
able old demagogue as he is should
be imposed upon the old Abolitionisis
and terrified Republican* of Massa
chusetts as Governor for at least two
terms seems to us as altogether in ac
cordance with the eternal fitness of
things.
Tiik Atlanta correspondent of the
Savannah News writes: “The Huff-
Markham case, as I predicted months
ago, will go on record as one of the
most noted legal controversies of
modern times. Markham commenced
the contest by attempting to oust
Huff from the Markham House, but
in every move Huff seems to have got
the best of ihe fight, and yesterday
won another big victory in the Su
preme Court, which leaves him mas
ter of the situation for* the next six
month s.”
Three months ago Southwest Geor
gia was shipping Irish potatoes to the
Yankees, and now they are shipping
them to us.—News and Advertiser.
Yes, and they will get surer and bet
ter prices for theirs than Southwest
Georgia got for hers. Why is this,
neighbor?—Macon Telegraph.
Simply because they have had more
experience in the production and ship
ment of such commodities than our
people have. They have been at it
for years, while our people have just
began. In a very few years we ex
pect to see all the potatoes and cab
bages that are consumed in Southern
and Southwest Georgia produced at
home, and thousands shipped North
every spring besides. Just give the
truck business a reasonable time,
brother Telegraph, and the wisdom of
th*s new departure in Georgia will be
demonstrated.

be best and proper for the iiiirrest of

cautions fail, let none be more dis
couraged. A pile of cotton seed,
placed where they may sour or rot, is
set down as an infallable typhoid pro
ducing cause. The cotton seed may
be thrown anywhere on the premises
or in the cellar of the bouse. A little
dampness, some heat, and a little sun-
siiine is all that is needed.
Those cit izens who may not care to
have typhoid fever iu their houses,
but prefer to have other sickness may-
neglect their baths, fail to be careful

The Greatest of All Whistlers.
Musi<sl Herald.
Morere, the tenor, has been shut up
in an asylum, incurably mad over his
pet hobby, whistling.
For years he cultivated that hobby,
until he was able to emit a blast that
would frighten the cab horses on the
boulevards of Paris, and drive cornet
players wild with envy. Once he was
arrested and fined for disturbing the
public peace when he had only whistled
an air while walking home from the
opera—loud enough, however, to wake
up every one within lutlf a mile, more
or less.
On another occasion he was singing
in “Faust” at the Grand Opera, and,
having a cold, gave some false notes.
The audience hissed. Down he sprang
into the orchestra, and cried: “Since
yon have begun to hiss, let me tell you
that vnti don’t understand the nrt in the

In walking through the church
yard last Sunday evening our eyes
fe ll upon several small graves. We
catne to the conclusion that, .above
all other places, this'was the place
for pure thoughts and lovely medita
tion. They are the dep* sitories ol
the mother’s sweetest joy, half unfold
ed bnds of innocence, humanity nip
ped by the frost, etc yet tho canker
of corruption has nestled auio ig its
embryo petals. Callous, indeed,
must be the heart of him who can
stand by a little grave-side and not
have the holiest emotions of the soul
awakened to thoughts of purity and
joy that belong to God and heaven,
for the sweet little one at his feet
tells of lives begun and ended with
out stain; and surely if this be
vouchsafed to mortality, how much
purer and holier must be the spirit
ual land. Enlightened by the sun
o£infinite goodness, whence emanat
ed the soul of that brief sojourn
among us? How swells the heart of
the parent with mournful joy while
standing by the earth-ned of lost lit
tle ones! Mournful because a sweet
treasure has been taken away. Joy
ful because that precious jewel glis
tens in the diadem of the Redeemer.

We learn that a man by the name

of Ml Vernon, went into the woods
to chop down a tree last Tuesday.
He was accompanied by his little
four-year-old son, which he placed
under the shade of the neiglibo: ine

whistle a minute long, and loud enough
to make a calliope sick. There was no
more hissing, and the opera went on.
At present he believes liimselt com
missioned to learn to whistle loud
enough to drown the sound of a locomo
tive and all the bells of Notre Dante to

ten hours a day, his fellow lnnatics iu
the asylum are objects of pity.
