Lor several days past two gentle
men, Messrs. Grieve and Harding
from about the border laud between
Scotland and England have been in
our city. Their object, as we under
stand, is to make a tour through our
otate, for the purpose of ascertaining
what part of it is best adapted to cat
tle and sheep raising, and with the
further purpo e, we suppose, of en
gaging in that business, if they should
conclude that it would probably
prove successful. We were pleased
to have a call from these gentlemen
a t , y or two since, and from their
intelligence and pleasant manners,
we were j e( j to j 1Q p e that they may
Prove successful in their investiga

THE METHODIST CHURCH.
tiik matter ok bkpairino and kk-
MuDKI/IXIITIIK odd OHUIU’H
DISCUSSED IN qUARTKR-
I.Y CONKKIIKNCK.
The matter of repairing and re
modeling tiie Methodist Church came
before the quarterly conference on
Monday night of last week. The re
port of the sub-committee consisting
of Messrs. W. T. Conn, G. T. Whil-
don and Dr. T. O, Powell, was taken
up by sections. It. wne agreed to re
pair the front steps, brace tiie bell,
add an alcove for the pulpit ami
choir, and repair the window blinds.
The proposition to tear down and re
move the galleries produced a stormy
and excited debate, the opposition
being led by Capt. Newell and Capt.
Crawford, while the snb-committee,
who represented the sentiment of the
ladies of the congregation, stood man
fully by their report, declaring that
no real Improvement could be made
without removing the unsightly gal
leries. Several of the members of
the official hoard, notably Capt. J.
Caraker and Mr. E. E. Bell espoused
with great warmth the proposition
to remove tiie galleries, while others
sided with Crawfokl and Newell with
equal warmth, and considerable cross
firing was indulged in, until tiie good
brethren began to imagine that one
side favored a desecration of the
time-honored old church, while the
other side were old fogies who, from
a false sentiment, opposed the pro
gress demanded by the times and our
growing city. The question was call
ed for and a division showed six for
removal and eight against. Friend
and foe then united in slaughtering
the narrow, ornamental, arched ceil
ing, middle and side isles, etc., etc.
The new presiding elder, concluded
it was a live church—very live, and
Bro. Brown, of Baldwin circuit, who
was present as a spectator, declared,
he had never witneseed such a scene
at a quarterly conference. In conclu
sion a new committee was appointed
to carry into effect the repairs adopt
ed by the conference. Tno commit
tee consists of T. J. Fairfield, W. T.
Conn, C. 1*. Crawford, M. Hines, Wm.
Caraker.
How they will succeed remains to
be seen, as many of the wealthiest
members declare, that while they
were willing to subscribe liberally to
make the church attractive, they will
not give one cent if it is not done in
accordance with their views.
It is however to be hoped a happy
compromise may be reached and ev
erything will yet be lovely. We ven

Now that the election and Christ

Mullarky and we are no ways In
clined to doubt the correctness of his
prediction.
The cold waves of January made
an early start this year and gave us
very cold days last week. The mini

For tiie benefit of our gourmands,
of whom there are several in the vil
lage, we copy here one of tiie recipes
for making the Creole dish of Joinbu-
lyuyali. It will be appreciated doubt
less. A half gallon of washed rice is
put into a large camp kettle and with
sufficient water is set to boiling. Af
ter awhile slices of fat riokled pork
are put in; at intervals half fried
pieces of bear meat, venison and ham
are dropped in and well etlrred, then
a loggerhead turtle and by and by
three owls, two wild ducks, a half
dozen squirrels and five or six small
catfish with broken biscuit are put
iu with an abundance of garlic, on
ions, red and black pepper, salt, and
some leaves of sweet bay for a high
seasoning, the whole to be thorough
ly cooked and eaten cold—for supper
chiefly. * *
It may happen sometimes that
these ingredients are not always
handy, even in the well regulated
cuisine of a gourmand. In that case
the dish may be compounded as fol
lows to complete satisfaction: Add
rice, then large red beans, rice again,
then smoked sausages, more rice,
then ham, then red pepper, rice
of modern painting might add bean- , again, then chicken, more rice, then
ty to the “excellent panneling of the oysters, add such condiments as 4re
gallery with their Tuscan pillars,” ’ pleasing. Boil together,
that would make the progressive
members glad of the sentiment that
would not allow them to be removed.

"Dagiuar" was presented at the Opera

last, evening. The reputation which Miss
Baire had made In Macon In one night by
her acting on Friday night, won her two
fine audiences yesterday or the more In
telligent and cultured theatre-goers of Ma-
0<>n. Ho far rs Macon Is concerned Miss
Balfn may Justly lay the unction to her
soul that she woke up Saturday morning
and, like Byron, found she had become fam
ous In one night.
Bhecame to Macon unheralded by the
glare and fulsome show bill, and without
the flattery of Indleerimlnatlng proas no
tices, and by her first night’s performanee
made her genius, graee and beauty t Its
talk of every breakfast table iu tho Central
City.
Miss Knife le emphatically tho lady ac
tress of the stage to-day. She Is a woman
of refined manner, graceful mien, and Innate
refinement that Is as refreshing as Is her
acting. T 0
The woman's power lies in her compre
hension and profound sympathy. Her
nature is deeper than oven tho strong
character of Dagmnr. No one who saw
her in the last scene, whore r-lie forces a
confession from het worst male enemy,
the “heavy villain” of tho piny, can but
admit that Vio is the mistress of the mimic
art. Who that witnessed her ready transi
tions from banter to sarcasm, from sham
affection to violent and real scorn, did not
feol a revelation of perfect art.
But Miss Knife gives other evidence of
her excellent, and most carefully accurate
training In the stage art; she is as piquant
in the bits of comedy that sparkle here
and t here In the play as shs Is foreoful in
the supreme moment of tragic vindica
tion
It is probnble that Miss Balfe will return
hereon Thanksgiving Day for a matinee
and a night performance. Macon will
gladly welcome her as the finest exponent
of emotional acting on the boards to
day.
The support, was excellent and the entire
pteco was rendered with thet smoothness
that only absolute management and train
ed artists can do.
The above named play with Miss
Balfe as Dagmnr, will be presented
at the Opera House in this city this
(Tuesday) evening. All lovers of
first rate theatrical acting should at
tend. Those who fail to do so will
probably regret it.
