Central railroad stock , went up to 100*4 yesterday, the first time it has been above par in several years. The mystery which surrounds the upward movement In this stock Is still un solved, though there are any number of plausible theories advanced. The recent election of Mr. Douglass Green, formerly of this city, to the presiden cy of the Covington and Macon rail road, which, if the statements of its chief projector and the reports ot the various newspapers are to be relied upon, is to run nearly all overlhe state and that large blocks of Central stock have been trausferrred to the banking house of Green & Bateman, would seem to indicate that that unbuilt railroad which is alleged to be owued by the Richmond and Danville has something to do with the movement.. It is rntnored that some of the Cen tral’s friends in this city have becoirie alarmed at the amount of stock which is being bought up by unknown, but supposed hostile, interests, an^ jfof^ they are. bovinli 1 ffMOy* ^IItb rFyiu 1 the stock is causing small holders to sell out, and if it goes much higher the robabilltfes are that there will be a irge decrease in the number of share holders before the next meeting. Many small holders have doubtless been waiting for Central to touch par. Brokers appear to be buying freely at ruling prices, the rapid advance liav- ihg no terrors to them, their instruc tions seeming to be to purchase all the stock they can get on the best term- possible. The movement iu tliis stock will have a good effect upon the busi ness of the city, as it will release a great deal of money for active business purposes just at a time when the busi ness season is opening.

No Surprise sit Cutting’s Sentence —The Legal Aspects off the Cu City of Mexico, via Galveston, August 10.—News of the sentence of Cutting was received here without surprise, but it is not generally be lieved that he will serve out his sen tence. Leading newspapers are dis cussing the case in its legal aspects and without excitement. The Foom, the daily organ of the legal fraternity of the capital, has a long article on the case citing many other similar cases and a long array of legal opinions, coming to the conclusion that Mexico stands on sound legal grounds. The Siglo l)iczy Muxe, supporter of the administration, takes the same view and urges that both governments adhere to the spirit of the treaty of Quitdaloups Hidalgo, which in' its twenty-first article provides for a care ful and amicable adjustment of all questions of difference in the spirit of good neighborship. She Indulged in it, But it Came High. Boston Beacon. A good story auent Fanny Kemble floats across the horizon from the mem ory of an elderly lady who knew her well. It was in the time when Boston was the great actress’ nom inal home, and her summers were spent here and there in rural Massachusetts. She had engaged a worthy neighbor breathing the woes of those who feel not. While this fair State is, mainly, level, at places it is gently and picturesque ly undulating. Not the rocky-sided hills of sister Kentucky, but grassy slopes creeping up reluctantly from the cool, green, level bed. White river flows placidly along this fair summer weather, winding itself in and oat, this way and that, smiling at well kept, thriving towns, frotr fi at the. refuse which- Is dumped the great porl£packing establish ments here; weeping over an occa sional unfortunate who forgets life’s woes in its cool depths. All this is the sbiniug river on a quiet, sunuy day. But let tli5 torrents of Heaven break over this complacent town and the white strip which I can faintly see through the trees, widens_and widens, tearing itself along, catching bridges in its mighty arms, shaking trees in its fierce rage and growling, grumbling along. White river is like some peo ple. It doesn’t take much to get her “riled.” Have you ever heard oi a celebration known as the “Old School,” you peo ple down there? No? Well, here in a section of the country close to Indianapolis is it held the last Thursday in August. Old-time hard benches are ranged in this little school house in the order of olden days, and the teachers dispense to the gray-haired pupils the quill pen with which our forefathers wrestled. They come, the wrinkled, world weary, care-worn boys aud girls ol fifty years ago, and from the benches they answer as the roll is called. Yet there are many pauses in the teacher’s voice. There are little silences which perhaps are broken by a sob as some one answers “absent.” There is mistiness iu tbe eyes of pupils and teachers. It is not a case of tardiness leaving the hope of the coming yet. it is not a case of truaucy with the birch bending and threatening iu the background. No; it is the long, long absence. He has left this school of re pression and pain and disappointment to euter the one where the Master rules ever with love, where night is never hailed with the joy of dismissal, and where tne “well-done, my child, 1 the sweetest music. He has gone to the school that keeps forever and ever, and where we all shall be young. And there they sit, the old men and women, who were happy bare-footed boys and sun-bonneted girls so long ago.

When the vacation weeks were over, and the dame was about to return to town, she sent for her Jehu and his bill.

The bill was paid, and the tragedienne and the bucolic philosopher were fust friends ever after. Savannah is rejoiced that her Re publican postmaster and collector of custom will now have to give way for Democrats. The new apointees, Capt. Lamar and Capt. Wheaton, are well- known citizens and are very popular, aud the change is an exceedingly agreeable one to Savannah. We talk of lands being so cheap in Dougherty county, but the Danville Register says lands can be bought in Virginia for $1.50 an acre—and good lands at that. The Register invites the Yankee farmers to come to Virginia, aud offers as inducements the splendid climate and the cheap lands. In the elections this tall one of the chief props of the Republicans will be taken away. They have relied 'on a feeling of distrust of the Democratic .party which prevailed in the North. But that reliance no longer exists. Bttt the Republicans cannot go before the country again simply on its war record. The Cutting Case. Ex-Governor Rice, of Massachusetts, just from the Texas border, gives this history of the Cutting case: Cutting was aprinterin El Paso. He started a paper there, but failed. Be coming a defaulter, he crossed the river and started a sheet in Passo del Norte. A Mexican started another newspaper in opposition. This anger ed Cutting, and he made a violent edi torial attack upon bis rival. The arti cle was libelous in the extreme, accord ing to Mexican law, aud Cutting was arrested. The magistrate before whom he, was arraign* d, treated him with great leniency, and let him off without payment of costs on condition of his publishing a retraction in his paper. He did so, but printed tills in the smallest type and in the most obscure corner of the sheet. Theu he went to El Paso and *rot the Herald of that sh a card attacking the The party-loving Democrats of Up son county have issued a call iu the Barucsviile Otkndax Democrat for a mass meeting on the 19th of August to devise means of preserving the party harmony iu said county. What’s the matter iu Upson ? Did not the “hand play” in that county during tile recent canvass? There will be three W. H. Feltons iu the uext Legislature, one from Bartow, one from Bibb, one from ICtnia c Minty. All three will make excellent members. The winds of the Gordo** convention, to gratify the ill- will of the Atlauta Constitution, were not tempered In mercy to the Felton family. Butthey willgetthere Eli, all the place to publisl Magistrate. This paper is printed in English and Spanish, and circulated almo-t as much in Mexico as in Texas. Cutting took copies of this paper con taining the the article against the Jus tice and personally distributed them in Paso del Norte. For this he was arrested and is still held. O, course, there is a certain amount of what might be termed popular sympathy with Cutting. Perhaps if a public meeting were called in El Passo to-day the majority would side with Cutting, but that majority would be made up largely of tbe lawless element. The sensible part of the people are of g different opinion. 1 think that if tbe same thing had happened here, it a man belonging to this State had published a criminal libel against a New’Jersey Judge, he would be arrested as promptly by any court that had respect for itself. The Mexican laws are more stringent than ours, I know, but this is necessary i:i a country where so many of the people arc turbuleut and igiiaraut. A Woman’s Idea off Men. “ What do women love best in men ?” was asked a quizzical aualyst of human nature the other day. “Sir,” said she “they like force! Give ine a man with courtesy and polish, without force, and he is like a linen collar without starch. The texture uiay be fine, but it needs stiffening. Women tire of forceless men anil would prefer a vig orous hearty yeoman to a scented,ner vous dude of the drawing-room.” “Don’t you like to see a man dance?” i queried. “1 would rather see him digging* trench, or hewing a tree, or driviug a team,” said she. “To me a dancing man, a liou lapping, mi-k oi ail elephant playing a guitar are all alike. Men, Hons and elephants were meant to be strong and masterful. When they fall of their destiny they become caricatures.” —The Brtiuswick Herald says: “Eighteen years ago there was but one vehicle iu Brunswick, and that was a carryall, and that was In constant de mand for all the purposes for which carriages and other vehicles are now He says there was but one piano There is oue domestic industry that obtains generally with Northern house keepers that might be practiced to ad vantage by our Southern matrons.

Of coarse it is all a “make-believe,” but it is a very pretty one. Do you not think so? Yon know how this vain city is swell ing and boasting and almost bursting over her new City Hall and fine Suite House. She has now two added items of interest to show her country visit ors. The Court House is supposed to be “done” by every one who sets foot on the soil of the capital. Well worth the doing it is, too, with its massive col umns, Its beautiful floors ou which the maiden likes to hear the tap, Lap ofher spring-heeled shoe, and all its beauti ful rooms with the tower ou which a watchman is stationed wiio detects the rising blaze. A goodly part of Indianapolis peo ple have been atttending the catnp- meetings at Actou (Methodist) and Bethany (Christian). Acton is a beautiful resort for the favored few who can afford to take recreation and religion together. It is- the poor, breath-starved portion of humanity who swelter all summer in close tene ments who appreciate most the neces sity of religiou. Easy enough, they, think, to love God and keep his com mandments in a summer cottage with dainty, cool clothing and nothing to do but to love God. The papers, particularly those in which women have a voice, are agita ting the illfatne question and pon dering on ways for the suppression of this growing evil, and-the amelioration of the condition of those unfortunates who might clasp a friendly hand. Still they live, side by side, virtue and vice, purity and filth, law aud disorder. And there is yet to grow out of wo man’s noble efforts, aud good men’s assistance, a power that shall choke this evii Into nothingness. The dust of the country roads rises in clouds and settles on the stubble fields and well-grown hedges. Across the way, fluttering among the white stones that are the “finis” to so many lives, Is a bird calling through the maples and the tree-of-life, “rain!” rain!’ The shadows are lurking to crowd out the light The glowing West changes and brightens and becoms a sheet of gold with the hem of the blue sky’s garment touching tbe darkening earth. Tlie river aud the bit of water flowing near, which is Pleasant Run, catch the dyiug gleams and reflect them in their clearness. The breezealis to the dew-drops, and night is coming on, Olla Perkins T^ph all women, for tlie place is the ageotr of a New York house which makes' business of hiriug out costly dresses for summer, seaside or mountain wear,and even to parties who are making a trip to Europe. Equally as common a thing is the renting from evening to evening of ball-room costumes foi ladies who can’t afford to buy expen sive dresses for one or two occasions. They can hire a ball-room dress, shoes, {Hof' stockings and lace shaw l, which wouk cost $20(1, for from $5 to $lJa night If they are known they are not re quired to leave a deposit, otherwise the price of the outfit is left with the customer to be returned when the dre& comes back. One Co-turner in‘the city w ho does a very large business iu t quiet way for the fashionable people, has in his possession $25,000 worth oi dresses, robes, shawls and other female finery which has come to him In vari ous ways. Many rich people, lie says sell their ballroom dresses at tlie en« of a season. They will not use them a second season, and get back a part of the cost in this w ay. These dresses are hi.ed out to less particular people, w ho are thus upou special, occasions able to appear in finery as elaborate and rich as that of the most elegaut ladies. How do you manage it?” the dap per little broker was asked. Very easily. We have in New York hundreds of dresses which are practically new. Some ol them are entirely new. A lady cus tomer who wants to spend two months at the seaside comes in and tells us what she wants. Perhaps it Is four fine dresses. Ordinary walking and lounging dresses she has. We don’t hire such. It would not pay. We take her measure, and, if we can’t fit her, even by altering the dresses we have on hand, we fix her up with ouc or two elaborate ball-room outfits, a dinner dress aud so on, as she may de sire. If she should attempt to pur chase such an outfit as we could fur nish her it would cost her not less than $1,500. We charge her $500. She don’t wear the dresses often enough to do them serious injury, and at the end of two mouths she has had her full of finery, and would not wear them a second season if she owued them, while we have our $500 and our outfit, dam aged probably $250 worth. She has saved $1,000; we have had a profit of $250. Ain’t that all right? Now here is another instance which actually occurred in Philadelphia not very long ago. A lady who has very fair for tune was about to take a trip to Eu rope. She proposed to travel on the continent, to do it in good style, but as cheaply as possible. But the cost of a wardrobe of fiue dresses, which she thought necessary; made her hesitate. The outfit she desired would cost her,in addition to the every day dresses need ed, about $6,000. The upshot of the matter was that we furnished her the outfit, new, made to her order, charged her $3,200 for the use of them for four teen weeks, and got the dresses back almost as good as new. Since then those dresses netted us more than they co6t, and we sold them to a customer recently for $500.

That afternoon we heard tive place, her telling a new arrival, a foreigner traveling on a scientific errand, “that he really should go out of his way to visit F , in Carolina. You would meet our best people there in the sum mer,” she assured him. “That would be pleasant,” said the foreigner, bow- ingpolitely. Wi learned incidentally that this gentleman was a habitue of very brilliant literary circle iu Vi enna. Again, iu Virginia, a party was once made up to cross the lake and dine at a neighboring hotel. An elderly fel low-citizen, staying at our inn, went over also, but iu a smaller boat , be longing to a friend at whu-c house he was to dine. It was understood by him self and friend that he should return with its at night, but not knowing this we set out on the return trip and were half way across before his son,a pleasant lad who was with us, wondered why the friend had not rowed his father over. We immediately returned fund found the old gentleman at the landing in a state of unappeasable dignity. Our explanation was received in im placable silence. His only remark ou the way being a sarcastic one to his sou: “I understand. A De Brown was forgotten!” His wife was almost tearful on hearing of the Incident, and told her son she could not forgive tbe gentleman of our party, “who knew De Brown’s position at home.” They both absented themselves from the evening meal, though it did not seem to interfere with the general gay- ety. It was only the other day that a Northern friend told us of meeting THE BIG SEGRET.

I The Macon Telegraph, speaking of that city’s present progress, and fu ture prospects, says: “The tremendous strides that Macon is making towards prosperity are a source ot congratulation to her people, and the wonder of the hour. Her bauking capital seems ample, trade rood, c-tizens cheerful aud building loom more than active. Her seven railways are doing a fiue busiuess for summer, and no financial cloud hangs over her industries. Three railroads are practically in course of construction. One leading northward through Athens, is beiug pushed vigorously toward completion. The first ten miles is complete, and etigines are running over it. When complete, as in all probability it will tie by next spring, Macon will have another direct, line to New York, and will have gained the trade of one of the prosperous sections of Georgia. Another road leading to Savannah is slowly forming. Thirty-odd miles of it have - been graded between Dublin aud Macon and nineteen on the Savan nah end. Tliis road will lead through a magnificenttiiube)country, aud will, when completed, bring Macon a large re veu tie.

Secretary Bayard’s Repiy to' Gov. Ireland. Austin, Texas, August 11.—Gov- public interest iu the affairs of the city ernor Ireland has received an answer to bis letter to Secretary Btyard, which, exclusive of mere formalities, says: “So far as 1 relates to the guilt in this great crime of the Mexican officials or citizens, all possible diligence has been aud will continue to be used by this department aud tbe United States Min ister at Mexico to cause prompt and thorough investigation to be made by authorities of that country, with a view of bringing to jnstice under the laws of that country all persons within that jurisdiction connected with and answerable lor this treacherous and cruel murder of Francisco Rasures. I observe that it is stated in tbe public prints that Rasures was uot naturalized, but had merely declared his intention of becoming a citizen of the United States. This, however,has no bearing ou the present aspect of the case, for as a resident of Texas Rasures was entitled to the protection of tbe law while within its joonsUiction, and the due observance of tiie requirements of the extradition treaty at the bands of those to whom its execution is expressly confided. I have the honor to be your obedieut servant T. F. Bayabd.” Governor Ireland replied, reiterat ing the dem They Started in Literature. “Gath in the Cincinnati Enquirer. That youth is the ideal time of lile can be confirmed by the fact that all our foremost speculators were of liter ary beginiug. 1 hold in my hand Jay Gonld’s history of Delaware county, published in 1856, when he could not have been more than twenty years old. He commenced life with a strong local patriotism, which made him revere the founders and leaders of bis native county, and be went through that wild half mountainous county making maps of it to accompany his literary work. Like nearly all literary-mi tided people in America, he soon found that he was throwing away his time upon a people who'regarded worldly success as tlie end of all well balanced minds: Mr. Russell Sage, though not so much of a literary spirit, took a hearty of Troy, was one of its aldermen for years, and its treasure* for seven years, and while in Congress, repre senting that district for two terms, ho started an agitation for the govern ment, instead of a woman’s buy Mount Vernon; which last propo sition savors of both sentiment and love of country. Yet, this man, who is uow seventy years old, found no more fitting occupation for hoary hairs than to sell puts aud calls, or be a bookmaker for the young betters in the street. Cyrus W.

When Garfield was nominated there was pressure on Mr. Morton from all over tiie convention to know if he would accept the second place with the Ohio man. Mr. Morton went to con sult with his friends, aud first of all to' Mr. Conkling. The Senator’s antago nism and disljke of the so-called Ohio “crowd” were strong. He said to Mr. Morton: “If you think that you.can be happy with that crowd and that the ticket will be elected take the nomina tion by all means.” Mr. Morton hesi- rated still after ambiguous advice, and went to consult his friend, George S.

There are three poets of this coun try whose lives can never.be read with out bitter pain, the direct results of poverty being but too conspicuous in the determinatioM of their melancholy fates. One was Epgar Poe; the others were Henry Timrod and Sidney La nier. Poe may be almost said to hare had an apotheosis, a world-wide apo theosis, since his decease; yet one re flects that bat a tithe of tlie stuns paid for editions de luxe of his works dur iug a single decade might in his life time have spared him the horror of his young wife’s death, hastened by desti tution and hardships innumerable.and transformed his “bodeful raven” into some white dove of peace. “I assure you,” wrote Tim rod to ine but a few mouths before his melancholy eud, “I assure you that I would give every thing that 1 have ever composed for $1000 In band !” Think ol the terrible depths of want which forced a declara tion like this!
