Talmage said that strong drink was
the worst foe of labor—that it was the
bag, full of holes, into which wages
are put.
Both tlie Senate and House have
passed the bill giving $200,000 for
improvements in Savannah. It re
mains only for the President to sign
it before becoming a law.
Mr. Gladstone has addressed a very
able letter to his constituents. It is
criticised, favorably and unfavorably,
according to the views of his friends
and opponents.
Bishop Joseph S. Key, now in Col

terrible wind storm and great damage
was done and some lives lost, especial

The storm is regarded as the most
serious ever known in that region.
Serious troubles have occurred in
Ireland between the Catholics and
Protestants, caused by injuring the

constantly occurring. It is shameful
that Protestant and Catholic Chris

On Tuesday, in - St. Louis, warrants
were issued for the arrest of forty-
seven Knights of Labor, including
Chief Advocate McGerrV and Secreta

The company says it intends to push
these cases to the fullest extent of the

< >n Saturday last, in the U. S.
Court for this District, Judge Emory
Speer, presiding, a case of public in
terest came on to be heard. Several
years ago. Geo. A. Cunningham
brought suit against the old Macon A
Brunswick Railroad, and the Commis
sioners for tlie Slate of Georgia and
its other agents, to foreclose a very
large amount of mortgage bonds of
the M. A B. R. R., and also to get
judgment for the same. A demurrer
was filed for the State, which was sus
tained, and that decision was affirmed
by the U. S. Supreme Court. The
case is now before the court to get
judgment against tlie Railroad, the
State no longer being a party. It
will be remembered that the 'State
had endorsed bonds for the company,
held the first lien on the Railroad, seiz
ed and sold the same. It is now the
property of the E. T. V. & G. Rail
road. The case will be concluded
Monday. C. N. West, Esq., appears
for Cunningham, and Attorney Gen
eral Anderson for respondents.
The Dawson Journal says:*.Garland

and let me alone.” The boys mistook
the meaning of Mrs Hester’s words
and immediately set out. “afoot and
alone for Mr. Win. Overby,s, a dis
tance of twer ty-five miles, where they
were found the next day by Mr.
St at bam and brought home. They
mace the trip in about eight hours.”*

As the friends of the candidates for
the gubernatorial nomination seem to
be organizing for the approaching
contest in this county, it would seem
to be proper that we should give our
views on the matter.
And in the first place we wish to
say with proper emphasis, that we
have nothinig to say against either ot
the distinguished gentleman, wlio as-
pire to the highest office in the gift ot
the people of Georgia. Both have
done the State good service, and m
our belief are worthy of the confidence
and support of the people. \> e are
utterly opposed to the methods adopt
ed by some of the friends of each ol
the candidates; tha. is of trying to
elect their own candidate, by mak
ing reckless and slanderous cnarges
against the other. If the charges
which are so freely made against these
gentleman are true, neither is worthy
of the respect or confidence of any
honest man. But we believe that
either would make a fairly good gov
ernor and we sincerely deprecate the
unjust warfare waged against them
by some of their opponents, who ar
rogate to themselves the position of
leaders in the Democratic party.
The position of Baldwin county in
the present crisis is somewhat pecu
liar. There have been times in the
past when her interests were hanging
in the balance at the State capital arid
more than once, the Hon. A. O. Bacon
liais come to her belli on such occa
sions and by reason of his high sta
tion and ability as a speaker he has
rendered her important services and
perhaps secured her triumph in the
contest in which she was engaged.
The time has come when we can in a
measure repay the debt of gratitude
we owe him. * So if Baldwin county
should determine, as we have no
doubt she will, to send Bacon dele
gates to the convention, it will seem
to us a graceful and proper thing to
do in view of the services he has ren
dered to us in the past.
The Telegraph’s Bread-Tray.
Tlie Macon Telegraph of Sunday
announces to its readers that the fa
mous bread tray which it had sent to
Mrs. Grover Cleveland as a bridal
present, has been returned by express
and it would seem, without a word of
explanation, to ameliorate the shock
that must have tingled in the nervous
system of tlie surprised editor.
Well, well! This world is full of
surprises and disappointments and we
can«*Jy tender our sympathy to our
contemporary in this hour of gloom
and blasted anticipations. The bread-
tray that it was fondly hoped would
hold an honored place among the rich
a id costly gifts of the great and the
v ealthy of the land, and finally go
down to future generations of Cleve
lands and be honored always as the
gift of the great and good Telegraph,
is ruthlessly rejected; cast down as it
were from its hoped for “high estate”
and doomed to be thrown “cheek by
jowl” with the pots, pans and other
utensils of a Georgia kitchen. “<>h!
what a fall was there my country
men.”
The question arises why should the
official bead of the great Democratic
party so unceremoniously reject this
novel but appropriate gift from a
great and influential Democratic
journal? Perhaps a perusal of the ed
itorial remarks of the Telegraph upon
this important and interesting matter
when it first announced to the public
that it had selected and forwarded the
bread-tray to Mrs. Cleveland as its
contribution to the list of .bridal.pres-
ents, (as they are re-printed in {Sun
day’s issue of that paper,) may throw
some light upon this matter. It can
not be denied that the article sparkled
and scintillated with wit and humor
and the editor wrote it in his best
vein. But alas! People will misun
derstand at times the jokes and witti
cisms of their best friends and imag
ine that they were intended to add to
the reputation of the humorist wiiile
holding up the recipients of their sup
posed compliments to uncalled for
ridicule and contempt. Nothing of
course could have been farther from
the intention of the Telegraph in
sending Mrs. Cleveland the bread-tray
and that article may yet have an use
ful career in a less exalted sphere than
that which it w as fondly hoped it was
destined to adorn.

We sincerely hope that the young
men and boys who indulge in the fas-
cinating luxury of smoking cigarettes,
will read and profit by the article we
publish to-day upon the injurious ef-
fects of the habit. It is one, we are
convinced, that will have terrible re
sults on many, if not all of those w ho
persist in it. The statements made in
the article are, we have no doubt, in
the main, terribly true and the insid
ious effects of the drugs are such
that the smoker is made a helpless
slave before he has any idea of his
danger.
. Hawkinsville Dispatch; Mr. Hardy
Pitts, one of the sheep kings of the
wiregrass, came in from Dooly county
on Tuesday last with a portion of his
wool clip of the season. He brought
in nine bales, averaging 651 pounds to
the bale, in the aggregate 5,865
pounds. The wool was thrown off at
Anderson’s warehouse, and Mr. Pitts
stuck the receipts Jin his pocket and
asked the buyers to show up. Messrs.
P. C. Clegg & Co. made him an offer
of 21 cents per pound cash. After
ward they raised the bid to 21.47 per
pound, and Mr. Pitts sold it to Clegg
& Co for that price.

Editor Cowles in the Cleveland Leader.
The indifference of Congress in not
fortifying our seacoast cities so as to
protect them against tlie attacks of
such formidable fleets as England can
bring to bear against us is really as
tounding. No wonder our foolish
government has to suck its thumb and
submit quietly to the insults Canada
is heaping upon us. In case of hos
tility, England could send on very
short notice a fleet of thirty ironclads,
and, by dividing them into five fleets
simultaneously attack Boston, New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington, compel all to surrender
or pay a heavy assessment amounting
to hundreds of millions, in order to
avoid being bombarded. She could
do this with impunity, because our
obsolete, cast iron, smoothbore guns
in our old-fashioned fortifications are
no better than so many popguns
against invulnerable ironclads. These
ships could be anchored beyond the
range of these old guns and cast shells
eight miles over into Brooklyn and
New York, thus compelling the
authorities to pay an assessment of
from $50,000,000 to $100,000,000 in order
to save those cities from destruction.
I am indebted for these facts to Cap
tain Lyle, of the United States^ Ord
nance Department, who was a Tellow
passenger of mine by the Gallia. He
was sent to Europe to examine the
process of manufacturing big guns
and armor plates. He received a cold
sort of courteous attention, and was
allowed to look outside of their manu
facturing works, but they declined to
allow him to investigate tlie inside.
The captain complains bitterly of this
discourteous treatment, because of
the great courtesy shown by our gov-
erment to English and other foreign
officers visiting our works. Minister
West addresses a note to the War or
Navy Department asking permission
for officers of his government to visit
or? works and arsenals, which is read
ily given. When our officers as’c for
similar privileges in Europe, especially
in England, they are snubbed. To
be plain, our government is verv
green.
Captain Lyle says the only salvation
for our seacoast cities is big guns to
prevent ironclads from coming within
range sufficient to bombard our cities.
Probably Fat- 0 1 Difficulty.
News reached the city by the Bruns
wick train on Wednesday night that
B. tV". Furlong shot Church Broci at
Sniff, on Wednesday morning, f
The News and Advertiser was'una
ble to get full and reliable particulars
of the difficulty: but it seems that Fur
long owed Brock some money, and
that when the latter asked him for
it on Wednesday morning hot words
followed. Furlong cursed Brock,
using very severe language, and when
Brock started to strike him Furlong
drew his pistol and shot him. The
ball taking effect in the abdomen.
One of the News and Advertiser’s in
formants stated that Brock had a
monkey-wrench in his hand, and an
other said lie did not think lie had
anything. We give both statements
without knowing which, or whether
in fact either, is strictly correct.
It is thought that Brock will
die.
Furlong is well know in Albany,
and Brock has been an engineer on
the B. A; W. Railroad, but was run
ning as fireman on a freight train on
Wednesday. He is a Brunswick man,
and was carried home on Wednesday.

Died in the Asylum.
Atlanta, June 19.—[Special to the
Macon Telegraph.]—A telegram reach
ed Atlanta to-day from Milledgeville
announcing the “death of John W.
Blackburn, of this city, who was sent
to the asylum several months ago.
The deceased during the local op
tion campaign in Atlanta took much
interest in the cause of prohibition.
He gave his entire time to the cause,
and day and night could, be seen on
the streets electioneering in the inter
ests of the prohibitionists. The in
tense excitement of the campaign
proved too much for his mental facul
ties and they became unhinged. A
few days after the election he was
carried before Ordinary Calhoun on a
writ of lunacy, and when an investi
gation of his condition was made he
was adjudged insane. He was then
sent to the asylum, where he remain
ed until the hour of his death. The
deceased leaves a wife, two sons and a
daughter, residing on Haynes street.
His remains wiil reach Atlanta to
morrow for interment. Mr. Black
burn was a mechanic by profession.
When the prohibition campaign open
ed lie allignad himself with the prohi
bitionists, and to his earnestness and
zeal in the cause of prohibition, is at
tributed his insanity.
There is a possibility that the op
posing candidates for Governor of
Tennessee will be brothers, Bob Tay
lor, who is a candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination, bearing that rela
tion to Alf Taylor, the Republican
nominee. Both men are said to be
pretty good men and to possess some
ability. It has been hinted that the
Republicans nominated Alf just to
keep the Democrats from nominating
Bob, and thus to neutralize the ex
tensive influenee of the Taylor family
in East Tennessee.

AN EFFORT TO BUY UP THE CENTRAL
SYSTEM.
Augusta, Ga., June 16.—It has
been discovered that there was consid
erable mystery w r rapt in a large num
ber of transactions in Central Stock of
late and that parties in Augusta were
largely interested. Calling at the of
fice of Mr. John Day Cohen, a large
dealer in Central, your reporter found
Mr. Colien but and could obtain no
information, but another broker was
met in front of Mr. Cohen's office.
When asked if there was not some
thing going on in Central he gave a
know ing smile and said that he was
not in it if there was. On being close
ly questioned he said there was, but
that what he knew he was bound by
secrecy not to tell. The reporter then
went farther on the trail. He first
met a prominent capitalist and when
asked said, “Yes; I just learned in
great secrecy that Dr. J. A. A. West
was a candidate for President of the
Central railroad,” and then he told of
a gigantic scheme and of the amount
of money involved, and of the man
ner in which Dr. West and his friends
were to get possession of the railroad.
A prominent cotton merchant hap
pened by and it was found out that
it was no secret that Dr. J. A. A.
West and Major T. P. Branch were
openly trying to get possession of the
Central for a number of English capi
talists and that they were willing to
give par if they could get even one-
half of the stock, and that they had
decided to make a proposition to the
holders of the stock, the substance of
which proposition is, that if the i>ar-
ties will put their stock in bank for a
limited length of time until Messrs.
Branch and West can see if they can
get a controlling interest, Messrs.
Branch and West will give a contract
to pay par for the stock if they get
the necessary amount. And said the
gentleman, “I would not be surprised
we-e they to succeed.”
Another gentleman when asked
said: “Yes, I have heard of the sensa
tion and I understand positively that
the English capitalists are no other
people than the Standard Oil Compa
ny. You can readily see what a big
thing it would be. Why,” said he,
“suppose for a little over three and a
half million dollars the entire control
of the system could be obtained with
all the leases it owns. It would be a
tremendous bargain and would really
be getting tlie stock of the Central
for 50 cents on the dollar, for after
they get the Central why they need
not declare a dividend for twenty
years.”
Another stock dealer was seen and
said that there was a scheme of a dif
ferent nature being put into shape,
by which the control of the stock was
to be obtained. Meeting a trustee of
the Richmond Academy, where Dr.
West holds a professorship, the re
porter asked if he knew anything of
the sensation.
“Y r es,” said he; “I have just heard
that Dr. West will be a candidate for
the presidency of the Central, and it
is more than probable, I hear, that he
will get it.”—Constitution.

A POPULAR DEATH AMONG THE AN
CIENTS—FEW MODERN INSTANCES.
From the New Y'ork World.
There have been comparatively few
instances of suicides among the occu
pants of the thrones of modern times.
The most recent case was that of Ab
dul Aziz, sultan of Turkey, who killed
himself in June, 1876, by opening the
veins of his arm with a pair of scissors.
His subjects had rebelled against him,
and the council of ministers had de
termined to remove him and appoint
his nephew, Murad, as sultan in his
stead.
In 1868 Theodore, emperor of Abys
sinia, is said by some authorities to
have shot himself, while others assert
that he was killed in battle by the
British invaders.
On October 8, 1820, Henry Chris-
tophe, king of Hayti, in order to pre
vent himself being taken prisoner by
the insurgents, who had gained the as
cendency in the island, shot himself
through the heart.
Charles VII, king of France, prob
ably inherited a taint of insanity from
his father, and the latter part of his
life w'as embittered by monomania,
manifesting itself in the apprehension
that his children had conspired to
poison him. Under this apprehen
sion he refused food for seven days,
and died of starvation near Bourges,
July 22,1461.
Concerning the death of Richard
II., king of England, there were at
the time various conflicting reports,
and there has continued to be a differ
ence of opinion among historians.
Walsingham, Otterboume and Peter
of Blois say that he also starved him
self to death. There is a certain par
allel between the case of Richard II,
and that of Ludwig II. Both were
weak characters, both were deposed
in behalf of stronger aspirants to pow
er, both were shut up in a castle for
safekeeping and both were reported
to have committed suicide. In the
case of the English king, however, the
weight of the evidence perhaps favors
the theory that some interested per
son assisted in his taking off.
Among the ancients it appears that
suicide was rather a popular form of
death. Many of the philosophers ad
vocated it as an honorable and conven
ient method of ending existence,
and gave a certain pertinence to their
teaching by putting it in practice
themselves.
Among the long list of the rulers of
antiquity who died by their own
hand are Nero, Cleopatra, Dido, Boa-
dicea, queen of the Iceni in Britain;
Otho, of Rome, Ptolemy, of Cyprus;
Mithridates, of Pontus; Saul, of Israel;
Raineses the Great and Sardanapalus,
of Assyria, who burned himself in his
palace with liis wives.
“Is your son going to become a
farmer?” asked Mrs. Blank of Mrs.
Oates. “Why, lor’ bless you, no,”
replied the latter. “My son is a gradu
ate of the State Agricultural College,
and has no intention of adopting such
a profession.” i

Savannah, Ga., June 17th.—This
afternoon during the funeral ser
vice of Abram Matthews, a worthy
colored man, the residence on Y'ork
street, a room in which tlie service
was being held, caved in with a tre
mendous crash, causing great con
sternation amongst the assemblage.
Some of them jumped through win
dows and others through doors,
while some sank with the giving
floor. The coffin tumbled from the
stools and fell among the struggling
mourners. Great excitement pre
vailed for a time; but order was final
ly secured, and the pall-bearers re
entered the house, extricated the
coffin from the debris and transferred
it to the hearse. The cortege then
proceeded to Laurel Grove cemetery,
where the funeral services were con
cluded. It is miraculous how the
people escaped being seriously hurt,
but none received injury beyond
slight bruises. The house was only
about three feet from the ground;
otherwise the result might have been
more serious. The accident collec
ted an immense crowd in the vicini
ty, and the negroes regard it as be
tokening some terrible calamity.

Griffin, Ga., June 17.—The pro
hibition battle has been fought and
lost by the prohibitionists. When
the prohibition party saw that over
two thousand voters had been reg
istered, they felt that they had a
big tight before them, and they went
to work with a will and activity sel
dom seen. The young men especially
fell into ranks, and worked like vet
erans. Last night was a busy one at
both headquarters. Suppers were
spread for the colored voters, and
speeches and music entertained them
until a late hour. Most of tlie colored
voters remained all night.
on the ground.
The prohibitionists marched from
their headquarters at four o’clock and
took charge of the polls. In about
a half hour the anties came marching
dowrn, and then both lines stood until
sevea o'clock, when the polls were
open. The colored prohibitionists
voted first, and then made way for the
anties. Nearly every colored voter
was challenged, but took the oath
and voted. x\t 11 o'clock th
Men's Prohibition club, one hundred
strong, headed by the silver cornet
band, marched to the polls. There
were many ladies on the route w T ho
v'aved their handkerchiefs and cheer
ed the boys as they passed, but the
anties were too strong. The colored
voters were almost solid for whisky.
• THE RESULT IS WET.
The returns are all in, and the an
ties have 245 majority. The election
will be contested, and the prohibition
ists claim that they will throw out
enough illegal votes to give them a
nice majority. The anties have noth
ing to say as to what the result w r ill

made by phvsi
cians concerning the evil consequent
of the habit. The smokers say that
their cigarettes are made of the -‘pur
est Virginia”, but if they want to
know what this “purest Virginia’' is
they should read what a large manu
facturer of tobacco recently said to a
New Y'ork reporter:
“The quantity of drugs used in ci
garettes is appalling” he declared
“and the commonest of these is vale
rian and tincture of opium.
“An experienced tobacconist can de
tect the presence of valerian by the
smell. The drug imparts a sweet
soothing effect, that in a little time ob
tains a fascinating control over the
smoker. The more cigarettes he
smokes the more he desires to smoke
just as is the case with one who uses
opium. The desire grows into a pas
sion. The smoker becomes a slave to
the enervating habit.
“By the use of drugs it is possible
to make a very inferior quality of
tobacco pleasant. They are put upon
the market at such a price that the
poorest can easily procure them, and
boys go in swarms for them.”
“What is this Havana flavoring
that is so much used ?”
“It is made from the tonca beau,
which contains a drug called mellolo-
! tis, a deadly poison, seven grains be
ing sufficient to kill a dog. It has be
come quite an article of commerce,
and is extensively used in tlie manu
facture of cirgarettes;”
“Does the paper wrapper of a ci
garette add a great deal to its inju
riousness?”
“Certainly. There are three sorts
of paper in common use, made respec
tively from cotton, from linen rags,
and from rice straw. Cotton paper is
made chiefly in Trieste, Austria, and
the linen and rice paper in Paris.
The first, manufactured from the
filthy scrapings of rag-pickers, is
bought in large quantities by the
manufacturers, who turn it into pulp,
and subject it to a bleaching process
to make it presentable.
“The lime and other substances us
ed in bleaching have a very harmful
influence upon the membranes of the
throat and nose.
Cotton paper is so cheap that a
thousand cigarettes can be wrapped
at a cost of only two cents. Rice pa
per is rather expensive. Tobacconiz-
Young) ed paper is manufactured.
It is common paper saturated w r ith
tobacco in such a way as to imitate
the veins of the tobacco leaf very
nearly. It is used in making all-to
bacco cigarettes. Arsenical prepara
tions are also used in bleaching cigar
ette papers, and oil of creosote is pre
duced naturally as a consequence of
combustion. The latter is very injuri
ous to the throat and lungs, and is
said,to accelerate the development of
consumption in any one predisposed
to the disease.”
This institution is intended to fill a
need long felt in Augusta. Our pub
lic school system is a good one and is
accomplishing nobly the purpose for
which it is intended. Of course, all
persons understand that the public
school is not intended for the high
er education of our youth.
The above institution will in no way
interfere with our public or private
schools, as we are assured that its ob
ject is the higher education of ou>
girls.
-Especial attention will be given to
art, music and the modern languages.
The literary department will be fully
up to any similar institution in the
country.
Prof. Ira J. Willard will have charge
of the instrumental music and Mrs.
Willard of the vocal music.
Fancy needle-work and embroidery
will be taught by a competent artist.
Painting, drawing, crayon work—in
fact, all pertaining to art.will be in
troduced.
We are glad to know that Augusta
is to have a school where onr young
ladies can complete their education
and not be compelled to go elsewhere.
We have long realized fhat a finishing
school for young ladies could be main
tained in our city. The wealth, refine
ment, culture and fine geographical
position of Augusta render her espec
ially adapted to be the seat of a fine
female institution of learning.
The President comes highly recom
mended as a teacher of fine ability
and a gentleman.
We feel sure that with the fine
corps of teachers—specialists—which
we understand he has selected, the
