Augusta, Ga., July 9th, 188(5. Editors Union-Recorder: Augusta mourns the loss of Paul Jiayne, the cultured gentleman, the ripe scholar, the poet of our own Southland. His spirit has crossed the borderline between time and eternity, is now at rest in the “Summer Land of Song.'’ The spirit that so often “breathed the smell of wood and grove” is now' attuned to divine har mony. He has laid dow r n the cross, and now wears the crown. Augusta claimed him as her own. We delight ed to do him honor while living, and we shall reverence his memory now that lie is dead. His body lies instate in the old, historic St. Paul s, but, at the reauest of his family, the remains are not 'visited by the public. The funeral services will Ije conducted oy .Bishop Beckwith next Sunday after noon at live o’clock, when the City Council and the Hayne Circle will at tend as an escort of honor. The City has donated a lot in our beautiful cemetery for the interment of the re- inent, and that the Almighty does not intend that man should meddle with it. ’Strange idea. At any rate, it is my opinion that in cities the elec tric wires should be placed under ground. Aside from the danger caus ed by attraction, the) poles are un sightly objects, and mar the beauty of a city’s streets. /itrmnv Houghton. Among our Exchanges. mams anu 1 will have it walled around monument at no a grave Corn- critics and is with a view’ to erecting above the dead poet's distant day. The Houghton Institute mencement is pronounced by to be a most brilliant success, spoken of as tlie finest entertainment of the kind ever given in Augusta. The Masonic Theatre was densely packed “from pit to dome,” standing room even being in demand. The first honor medal in the graduating class was won by Miss Grove Denning, one of the brightest young ladies in our city. She was closely followed in the year’s contest by ’Miss Annie Killinsworth, Miss Bessie Wiggins, Miss Annie Laffitte, and Miss Lizzie Greene, who no doubt w.ould have ti ed ■with her if sickness had not inter rupted their attendance. The display of elocutionary power by Willlie and Dickie Puryear was simply wonder ful. These two little girls took the audience 1>\ storm in their rendition of “The Fall of the Pemberton Mill” and “Briar Rose.” I heard a promi nent public man, and a regular Thea tre goer say that he had never heard a professional surpass, if equal them. Master John Pierson was awarded the medal for elocution -in the Male School. Masters Lin Shecut, Mortie Johnson, and Joe Hahn captivated the audience with their splendid speeches. The ‘Seaside Mystery” met w ith a most battering endorsement, for which the author is profoundly grateful. The Houghton Institute is under many obligations to Mr. San ford H. Cohen, the Manager of the Theatre, for his many acts of kind ness to the school during its closing exercises. He has certainly endeared liimself to the Principal and his pu pils. and the Institute w’ill always number him among its many warm friends. At a recent meeting of the Trustees of the Richmond Academy, Dr. J. A. A West, was elected Principal over Col. Rains, and Mr. Ganahl. a young gentlemen, elected to Prof. With row’s Department. Col. Rains and Prof. Ransom declined to serve under Dr. West, and immediately resigned. This action of the Trustees has caus ed great dissatisfaction among the patrons of the school, and is freely discussed on the streets, No cause lias been assigned for the change in the management of the Academy, and the public are at a loss to understand the reason for it. All the gentlemen above named are faithful and compe tent instructors, and it is hoped that some steps w ill be taken to reconcile all differences, and re-establish the Academy in the confidence of the neople. It is understood that the Board of Education will be appealed to, to establish a high *school for boys. This however, is mere rumor. Prof. Withrow will open a private school in October. The w eavers in the King Mill went out on a strike last Monday, and left 266 looms idle. A man w’as discharg ed; no one else would take his place; and as the looms were fed by the dis charged hand they could not be work ed. The operatives, however, do not call it a strike. The Directors of the King Mill met and advanced the wages of operatives ten per cent for Talking is cheap—except through a telephone. __ Wilkinson county elected Bacon delegates Tuesday. The war is over again in Georgia, and everybody is glad of it. Mrs. John Lamar died in Macon last Saturday morning at an advanced age.

It will be hard to defeat prohibi tion in Atlanta, so long as it allows the people to drink beer and whisky by the pint.—Augusta Chronicle. While some of the people of South west Georgia oppose Hon.

OFFICE OF ) L. P. Grant Park Commissioners, 11 East Alabama Street. ) Atlanta, Ga., July 7 th, 1886. Dear Sir:—I hope some day erect in our new park, (which I desire to be a park for the State as for the city,) a reduced copy of the old, historical “State House,’ at.Mii- ledgeville. This will be in sight of the new capitol building—the struc ture to be an exact copy of the origi- nal (in miniature) of the exterior, the interior, necessarily, to be devoted to park purposes. The proposed loca tion is a noble one—not unlike where the old building stands, fronting ‘'Mil- ledgeville Avenue” and near Fort Walker. Probably we may be unable to erect the building this year, but it is among our plans, and I will be obliged if you will ask some of your photographers to send me one or two photographs, if they have any in stock. Apologizing for this liberty, I am respectfully yours, Sidney Cook, President Park Commissioners. The Hon. Mayor of Milledgeville. [reply.] Sidney Root Esq., Atlanta, Ga.; My Dear Sir: Your letter of July 7tli to Mayor Walker was handed to me by him to answer. As 1 don’t think you would be able to do much with a photograph only of the old capitol, I will have careful measure ments taken of the premises and will endeavor to get up somet hing of a mod el or drawing (Col. MillerGrieve, of this place, has kindly offered to do the same) which with a photograph, will be sent you at an early day. Very truly, &c., Geo. D. Case.

The Strike, in Augusta.—The hands in the picker room of that large mill, the Augusta Factory, four teen in number, have struck for high er w’ages and quitw’ork. As the work cannot go on without their perform ance of the particular duty assigned to them, the operations of the mill must cease entirely, and it will throw out of employment 650 hands, on whom are dependant over twelve hundred persons. If they concluded to resume work yesterday (Monday)every tiling would go on smoothly, but the other hands said they certainly would refuse to do so, and then the 'factory would cease operations. Mr. Phinizy in a letter to the operatives, stated that the mill had been run at a loss for more than a year and it was impossible to consent to advance their wages. Incorporated in 1808 for 25 years by the Legis lature for Educational and Charitable purposes —with a capital of $1,000,000—to which a re serve fund of over $550,000 has since been added By an overwhelming popular vote its franchise was made a part of the present State Constitu tion adopted December 2d, A.

Work has been commenced on the cotton seed mills in Conyers. The brick are being put on the ground and the side track is being graded. The company hope to be ready for operation by Sept. 1. All the Atlanta churches are consid ering the matter of paid church choirs, and it is not impossible the old fashion congregational singing will again pre vail. It is claimed that the pay of the choirs is inexcessive. Col. Thomas Hardeman yesterday reoeived a letter from Col. J. H. Blount in which it was stated that he had secured all the money of the ap propriation for the United States Court Hou«e at Macon, and that tb« government architect had informed him that the building would be com pleted within nine menths.—Tele graph 10th. Forsyth, GA., July 2.—One of the saddest deaths our community has ever known occurred here to-day. This morning Miss Kate Milledge, who for years past lias been at the head of the art department of Monroe Female College, went to her duties in the school room in the possession of her every faculty. During the fore noon a number of young ladies of the school gathered in the college chapel to practice a cantata forthe approach ing commencement. About 10 o’clock, while Miss Milledge was engaged in directing the rehearsal, the whole of her right side was stricken with para lysis. She was then placed on a lounge and carried to the home of her mother. About 1'2 o'clock there was another stroke, and Miss Kate grad ually grew worse until about 3 o'clock, when she calmly died. After the first stroke she was umfble to utter a word. Miss • Milledge was of illustrious lineage—both her grandfathers being Governors—and was herself a lady of marked intellectual worth, high’cul ture and rare Christian virtue. In her death Monroe Female Col lege sustains an ’irreparable loss and the church is deprived of one of its mos$ devoted members. Captain John and Mr. R. H. Milledge, both of Atlanta, and brothers of the deceased, have been telegraphed for and are expected down this even ing. APPROXIMATION PRIZES.

The Sibley Directors, through President Sibley, have informed their hands that the condition of the Company’s affairs are .such that they can not grant the advancement now, but will do so as soon as they are able. The operatives will decide upon their course of action next Saturday. When will these labor troubles end? Jndge W. F. Eve, of the City Court, lias been confined to his house for for several days on account of sick ness. but is fast recovering, and will soon be at bis post again. He is a model J udge, and a faithful officer. The affairs of Richmond county are safe in his hands. In fact, all the county offices are well filled. Hon. Wm. E. Keener, Clerk of both the Superior and City Courts, is one of the most competent and faithful officers in the State. His system of office work is unsurpassed if equaled, bv that of any Clerk in the country’ He is also a leading member of the City Council, and is recognized as one of the ablest and most conscientious of our city's representatives. His public career has given entire satis faction to the citizens of our commu nity, and as his friends are numbered by the thousand, I predict that high er honors await him in the near fu ture. Yesterday afternoon, while Mr. Jas. McDonald was fixing a telephone wire, the lightning struck the post to which it was attached, and severely shocked him. It was a narrow escape.

The conductors on the Georgia railroad are rejoicing. A rumor was afloat that the company intended to compel them to wear yellow pants and red jackets as a summer uniform but it turiled out to be untrue.

Gainesville Eagle: Married, on Sun day last, in the middle of a road, in the lower part of the county, and in the presence of a large crowd of neighbors, by Esquire Tumlin, Mr. John Warren to Miss Mattie Mathis. Owing to some opposition on the part of the bride’s friends, the par ties had to meet away from home to have the knot tied. It seemed that they did not evade the vigilant eyes of the neighbors, however. A tall man with a sombre look on his face entered Major Mackelvane's private office, and stammered: “Major, I have most unpleasant tidings to communicate; try and nerve yourself.” “What is it? My house on fire?” “No, Major, worse; far worse. Your daughter—my dear sir, prepare, pre pare yourself—your daughter has brought disgrace on your proud house by eloping with the garden er."

Mr. Adams, of Augusta, has been selected to preach the annual sermon before the University Prayer Meeting Society at the approaching commencement. The coming University commence ment promises to be more interesting than any we have had in years. The graduating class is the largest in the history of the college, and the Faculty and Board of Visitors unite in de claring it an unusually brilliant one. A larger number of visitors than usual will be here, and a great commence ment is expected by the friends of the University. Hotel men say chickens and eggs are more plentiful this year than usu al.

The Grand Old Man is too good a campaigner to de sert the field on a single reverse. Mr. Parnell now wears his brown beard full, bushy and curling. But toned from the waist to the brown beard is an uncommonly long black frock coat. The faintest rim of linen is visible above the collar of his coat. He stoops a little, and the stoop en larges one’s view of that anterior por tion of the skull which the ravages of time have left unprotected by hair. Jessie Crawford, a young woman of TolonO, 111., has been an invalid for two years, much of the time being confined to her bed with spinal dis ease. The other day she requested a number of her friends to meet and pray earnestly for her recovery. They did so. The folloAving morning she arose, dressed herself, and went to breakfast for the first time in two years; and the day following she went to a picnic* Skeptical physicians say that she could have done all this at any time during the two years if she had only thought so. Rev. W. S. Ramsay, of Dublin, while spending a night at Cochran some time since, was robbed of a hand some gold watch, $38 in money, a gold collar-button, a pair of gaiter shoes and a.pocketknife. The watch was a bridal present from his father and was highly valued. The thief left in the room a chair, by the aid of which he is supposed to have gained an en trance Into the room, and an iron wedge, Vhich, it is believed, he took along as a weapon in case the Colonel happened to awake. The Mayor of the city telegraphed to Atlanta for and secured a detective, but the whereabouts of the thief is unknown. From his peculiar feelings the next morning the Cononel is impressed with the belief that he was chloro formed.
