The are three hundred students in the Agricultural College nt Mil ledgeville. Fifteen factories in (bis country turn out five hundred tons of glucose daily. The death is announced of Captain Hobson, who discovered tho re mninsofSir John Franklin in the Arctic regions. Tin re are luu two wmin n in Mr. Hughes's Brinish colony at Uughv, Tent)., but they tire treated like queens. There is a story in Utica that Blaine and Conkling are to meet there, with Grant, Cameron and Logan, in about two weeks. Bishop Doggett, of Richmond, whose condition has been deemed critical for several days, is reported to be sinking slowly. The Detroit /We Prtst says there are only 1,455,923,567 people in tho world, including candidates, England finds, upon casting up the year’s work, her imports and exports have both increased over hist year, but the balance is on the wrong side again. In one German city, Breslau, th.ere are 3,000 people who do receive tneir correspondence until it has been examined bv the police. ............... '___ Mr. William II, Vanderbilt has purchnred in Vienna a boudoir set of Austrian bentwood furniture which is said to be a duplicate of the one made for the emperor and exhibited nt the Paris exposition. Ex-Governor Smith is feeling badly—it is thought be will return to Isis anvil, so says an exchange. The Macon Tr.’rgraph says, that a Mr«. Farmer, who resides at the comer of Cotton Avenue, in that city, has a small specimen of a most singular rock. It is from Canada, and may work n radical change in cloths if it can be obtained in suf¬ ficient quantities. The rock resem¬ bles spar somewhat, having, how¬ ever, clearly perceptible fibre grain, This rock will bum, but it leaves a mass of fur as delecate and fine as silk, which can tie spun into thread. It is utterly imperiahable; the fire •which destroys the rock has no ef¬ fect whatever upon it. It was brought from Canada by a gentle¬ man lately in that region. Narrow gathered il ounces are put Uuder the platted border of petticoats the. dress skirt. n Silver jewelry in more fashionable than gold in England jus! at and the indications are that it will ♦•n become eo here Athens and Her Prospects, A then? has reason to he proud hfr university, her academics and schools; but it is not of her great popular institutions that we design at present to speak. Passing from that place to this a few days since, we met one or more cotton-wagons for almost every hundred yards the way, which clearly proved that Athens was fully entitl d to the reputation she has obtained for be¬ ing the best cotton market in the State—Savannah not excepted.— We learn from reliable sources that much cotton is brought from Mor¬ gan county, and within four miles of Madison. The reason given by farmers for this action on their part, and for "shaking” their home mar¬ ket, is that they receive from an 1 -Sth to 1 - 10 th of a cent, more per pound for their cotton in the Athens market. The liberality the business men of Athens is at¬ tracting the trade from a wide area of teritory, and it will continue to widen so long as the inducements now held out for trade continues to be made by Athens. The prospects, then, of Athens, arc bright, and a brilliant future lies before her. But to preserve these prospects the business men must keep keenly alive to all her surroundings, and seize upon every¬ thing that tends to increase her in¬ fluence, and open up every channel of trade having a tendency to flow towards her. And right hero wo would beg to call the attention of Athenian to the importance of extending tho N. E. K. R., both ways—that is from Lula to Rabun Gap,and from Athens via Wutkins villo and Madison, to Katonton. This would mako this Road otic of tho most important in the 8 tate and at once make Athens a centre of trado of which her most enter¬ prising citizens now seem hardly to dream. In nil the history of matrimony many interesting and many ro¬ mantic marriages have been placed on record. Last night Texas and Georgia joined in consummating a marriage a little romantic. Some two years or more since young Mr. Leo Dallas went with his father’s family from Upson county to Texas. Near him in the Lone Star State was a relative of Miss Lula Good rum, of Monroe county. This relative man¬ aged to get a correspondence be¬ tween Mr. Dallas and Miss Lula. The correspondence produced an exchange of photographs. Now im¬ agine two young people courting l 2 , h 0!Wr ’ s »’iclures. : »><1 you have wllttt Bwm to somo young a prosy business. But vivid imaginations, high apprecia¬ tion of the photographic art and easy susceptibilities brought tho young couple through the meliflu¬ ent channel of epistolary corres¬ pondence to a happy engagement. Arriving in Georgia last \\ ednos day, Mr. Dallas, when all were en¬ joying tho day of rest, found the young lady’s whereabouts, and, for the first time, enjoyed the reality of smiles approximating connubial sweetness. Amid the gushing glad¬ ness of the first meeting, and tho time and the place and the minister to tie the holy knot, were nil decided on, and, ns Mrs. Smith would say, to advesperate clouds of matrimony approximated colligation, yesterday evening, under the direction of Rev. L. J. Davies, pastor of the Method ' 1 ^I ,I 8 C 0 P ,, J c * nuc ^ of Bartlesville. ^ *‘* s nioru * ,, S l' u> young couple hoarn the train for their home in the Lone Star State, timid the con Ifatulutions and parting sobs ,l,e l“ v »ng friends and relatives.— Earntttillt (lazettf, The Macon and Brunswick ILiil road Company gives notice that it will apply to the next Legislature, for the passage of a bill extending the time for tho payment of the balance of the purchase money due the State for said railroad, over a pc r ‘"^ ofthirtv years, and to provide ^ 01 interest upon said deferred payment. The Brunswick iSeajmrt Appeal is greatly incensed at this action of the road, and says; “At present we are not prepared to criticise this attempted departure from the terms of the sale,nor arc we sufficiently informed ns to the plans and purposes of the company, to pas* judgement upon this unlocked for movement. That such an aj> plicaliraii'i!! be vigorously however there can be no doubt. and we underestimate the inteUi gence and patriotism of the men who were vesterdav decud to General Assembly, if they should fdU ly tih ^ e * uch 1 ‘^posiiion. We nrc inclined to the opinion Messrs. Wilton A Oft,, will find lb« straight path of good faith the (smoothest and most profitable in the long run. The newly elected Gov ernor is pledged to the people to compel a faithful compliance with the lease-sale act or forfeiture, and the newly chosen Legislature will back him with any compulsory legislation that may be necessary.” ■—Atlanta Phonograph, Kashira Spraj*.
