Nellie Stovall, one of the prettiest and most
intelligent scholais of this popular institution
Wrote to Mr. George I. Seney a letter, that so
toiiched his generous heart as to cause a gift
of ten thousand dollars, with which to erect a
handsome chapel. Work was commenced on
the edifice a few days since, and it was deter
mined to lay the corner stone on Mr. Seney’s
birthday, the 12th of May. Accordingly, on
last Friday afternoon an immense concourse
of our beat citizens gathered at the institute
to witness the ceremonies and to attest by
Uicir presence their grateful appreciation of
Mr. Seney’s munificence. The Lucy Cobb in

it was named after his lovely little daughter
who passed away about that tune. She then
briefly sketched its growth in usefulness anti

elegant style, a biographical sketch of Mr.
George I. Seney. So great is the interest ol
all Georgians in this wonderful man, and so
widespread is their gratitude for his buunte
q|is donations to our several institutions, that
present were glad to learn of his life.

Special Correspondence of The Constitution.
n. May 13.—Atlanta Constitution:
Maoon,
Yesterday evening one of the most brilliant
exhibitions ever witnessed in Macon tvas given
at the chapel of Wesleyan Female college in
commemoration of the birthday'of George I.
Seney, of Brooklyn, N. Y., the liberal-hearted
Christian gentleman who last year gave one
hundred thousand dollars to each of the two
leading Methodist colleges of Georgia—Em
ory college, at Oxford, and Wesleyan Female
college at Macon, and who, in addition to
these splendid gifts made a liberal donation
to the Lucy Cob!) institute at Athens. In a
letter to Dr. W. C. Bass, the president of Wes
leyan, Mr. Seney says:
f auy one n-ks j ou why I have given my money
the Wesleyan Ktm-ile college in Macon, say I
have done it t.i tumor ilie memory of my mother, to
whom, under G»d, I am more indebte-i for whatl
am than to any other being in the world.
Yesterday was observed as a holiday by the
faculty aud students of Wesleyan Female col
lege, and at night the chapel was crowded
with a delighted audience, who showed tiicir
appreciation of the entertainment by paying
the very best attention to everything that was
said and done.

Dr. A. A. Lipscomb, formerly chancellor of
the university of Georgia, was beautifully

singing was excellent. At the close of the
entertainment, tiie benediction was pro

and the delighted audience dispersed to their
homes.
A Strange Bird.
From the Perry Home Journal.
A strange bird was brought to Periy last
Saturday by a negro woman, who said it was
caught under some bushes in a field about
three miles from Perry, on the Macon road
The bird was bought by Mr. A. H. Fry. It. is
slightly larger than a pigeon, and shaped
' like a pheasant. The plumage of

the body is of a brownish black, with the neck
and breast of a dark lead or dove color. Tiie
bill is of a bright Vermillion, with the tips

The feet and legs green, with a band of red
just above the knees; toes very long. Under
the wings there is a line of white feathers,
and the under feathers of the short tail are
white. The bird made no attempt togetaway
when it was handled, though it evidenced a
vicious temper by peeking at the hands of
those who touched it. Professor P. W. John

by Ids services to her sex. and tried to express
a’sense of Ids gratitude to God by his life, his
wealth and love of men. The doctor spoke
eloquently of the fine Christian character of
Mr. Seney and echoed the voice of all in
praising Ins bounteous gifts to our Georgia
institutions. Then followed an original ode,

Locked Horns.
From the Sumter Repuolican.
Last Wednesday a cow and young calf were
in Simon Fleiscliman’s yard, and his little
son Joe, aged about fifteen months, was also
in the yard toddling around, and ran u
the calf for a frolic. The cow rushed at Joe,
lifted hint up on her horns and sent him sail
ing through the air about thirty or forty feet.
Joe’s parents sent up a cry of dismay as he
was flying through the fragrant evening at
mosphere like a cherubic visitor from the re
gions of b\jss, thinking, no doubt, that that
involuntary flight would land him "iu the
sweet hye-and-bye,” but their delight was
unrestrained when the little fellow, after
alighting on the ground, got up. looked at his
clothing still dangling from the cow's horn
and went running to his mama. A slight
scratch on the left temple was the only dain
age received, save that he was denuded of all

A New Way to Collect Fares.
From the RWne, Ga.. Bulletin.
We met a gentleman yesterday who told us
of a new way of collecting railroad
fares. lie said, as he was on bis way
to Rome a negro boy boarded the
train at some point not far from the
city, and wnen asked ’for his fare replied he
did not have any money. When informed
he must get off tie begged hard, and as the
conductor thought it was such a short ride, he
proposed to whip the darkey for his fare. The
darkey agreed,’and while ttie baggage master
held him the conductor whipped. When the
performance was over the negro sat down and
remarked, "he would pay his way back in the
same manner.”
and so we tried to bny some clean clothing,
but it was Sunday night and the stores were
closed.”
“Had the old man been abused before?”
"Oh. yes. His wife has treated him badly
since she has controlled the property. W lien
he was first taken sick we took him to the
Mercy hospital and took up a collection
among his friends to keep him there. Dr.
Brigham once had to sue her for medical at
tentions."

the cable almost daily since the first of last

complete form until within the past week.
Yesterday was the earliest day at which a
ratification of the agreement could take place.
In addition to providing for the pro rata dis

ATHENS AND JUG TAVERN.
From the Athens Banner.
For some time past a few of our thoughtful
citizens, with au eye to the future prosperity
of our city, have been quietly at work inves
tigating the proposed connection of the Jug
Tavern railroad, ilie more they thought about
it the more they became convinceo that the
building of this road is a matter nor only of
great importance but of great necessity,
ever since Athens has been known as a mar
ket. Tiie region round about Jug Tavern has
been known to our merchants as the home of
our most prosperous farmers and thrifty
country stores, und they have always drawn
their supplies from this market. One
year ago tuis energetic, go-ahead people de
terinined to secure a railroad connection with
the outside world. Failing to secure any co
operation on the partof the citizens of Athens,
they turned, their attention towards^ Gaines
ville, and with their aid aud assistance, se
cured an outlet through the Gainesville, Jef
ferson and Southern railroad, and at this
writing a gap of only one and a half miles
is to . be graded, and ten miles of
track is to be put down. When this is finished,
as it will be within the next two months, a
most valuable trade will be turned away
from our doors and our life-long friends will
drift into other channels and seek new friends
in other quarters.
lantic and Pacific telegraph company. To
secure compliance with all of these existing
contracts, differing materially in their terms
and provisions, was found by the Western
Union company to be difficult, if not abso
lutely impossible. Subsequent to the
Gould cousohdation of the telegraph
companies suits were begun to set
his scheme asiile, the suits being brought in
the names and interests of the Direct anil
French cable companies, claiming that coali
tion with the Western Union by the Atlan
tic and Pacific and the American Union
would work serious damage to all cable in
terests except those of .the Anglo American
company, already held bjQRlie Western Un
ion. The agreement ratified yesterday was
the outgrowth of efforts toward compromise.
President Green stated yesterday that
while in its general provisions the new agree
ment does not substantially differ from the
old, it is advantageous to the Western Union
in that it gives tolls on all messages over all
the wires of all the cable companies. Thii
he estimated, would increase tolls by at least
$40,000 a month. The Direct and Frene!
cable companies relinquish their wires, leased
to New York, over wnich messages were for
merly sent ea*t without toll. Against this
gain by the Western Union, that company
German Carp.
Do German carp amount to anything in
Georgia?" asked a Constitution reporter of
Dr. Cary, the fish commissioner, yesterday.
"They do, beyond all question.” replied
Dr. Cary; “we have had time enough to test
the matter thoroughly, and I can say without
reservation that German carp do as well if
not better in the waters of Georgia than they
do in Germany. I have carp iu my pond
that are two feet long. They thrive easily
and grow rapidly. A fish that will grow tour
pounds in a year must certainly find no
trouble iu gaining popularity if it is of as fine
flavor us the carp.”
How many ponds are there in Georgia?'
I have stocked eleven hundred and twenty
ponds within the last two years, and besides
what I have done, the United States fish com
mission has stocked a number of ponds.”
"Do you ever hear from the proprietors of
the ponds after they .are stocked?”
“in almost every instance, and in nearly
every case there is the greatest satisfaction
with the result. I hear of no complaint on
uny score. Last year I had 425 orders that 1
could not fill. We will try to do something,
however, next November, when the season
for starting ponds returns.”
The Lady's Wish Gratified.
A young marriod lady was staying at the country
house of a noble duke. She so rep- ate- ly expressed
her ardent desire to own a Norwegian belt, she so
patiieiically deplored the inefficiency of her pin
money, the stingiuessof her husband, that her host,
before the visit was over, begged her to order for
herself the trinket she required - a matter probably
it as a re-
of eight or ten guineas-and to accept
luembranceof the pleasant hours spent together
under the same loof. The lady blushiugly
but unhesitatingly accepted, and forih-

to Bond street aud gave her orders with
such .horoughness and minuteness of detail that
among the adjuncts to the belt was to be seen a .-i’ -
ver handled, diver-feruled, sileer-monogrummed

The total was too much for the duke’s gallantry
Angry at this exteus-on of the contract, or at the
magnitude of the disbursement, he deemed It in
cumnent on his good breeding to forward the bill
to the husband, with a polite note informing him
that his boundless regard for the wife precluded
him from ..tiering to her u present of marketable

A lady residing in Gecrgia, whose son was
threatened with consumption, wrote to several
of our old patients, whose testimonials in fuvor
of Compound Oxygen we had published, ask
ing if these printed testimonials were true,
Among them was T. S. Arthur, the well
known author, who replied to her June 17th
IS80, as follows: “Mrs. M—■—: In reply
your favor, I will state that the testimonial'
which you refer is genuine. From what
have myself experienced and from what
know of the effect of Compound • 'xygen in
others, I am satisfied that this new remedy ‘
one of remarkable curative power. Yourson
I think, can hardty fail to receive benefit.
Others as badly diseased, and suffering for
many years, have been cured, or greatly re

Drs. Starkey & Palen’s report of cases,which I
