Blount Volunteers 1 Barbecue.
We could not attend the barbecue
on account of other duties. A friend
promised to give us a sketch of the
interesting ocoasion, but we guess he
was so full of that big speech he
made, and the dinner he ate, that
he forgot for the time everything
else outside of them.
The Blount Volunteers entertained
their guests, botli soldiers and citi
zens, in a royal way. Hon. J. H.
Blount made a rousing speech to the
great crowd, and addresses were also
made by Capt. Howard of the Light
Infantry and acting Captain G W.
Caraker of the Baldwin Blues. The
military present, were portions of the
Milledgeville Light Infantry, Baldwin
Blues, and DuBignon Volunteers.
•The Blount Volunteers were out in
full ranks. The dav was pleasant,
and the treat was all that heart and
appetite could crave. It was one of
those “dear days" that linger in one’s
memory as long as life lasts. We con
gratulate (he corps on the success of
their cue, and if they ever have an
other, may we be there to see and fe
licitate in the general felicitation.

The Moon Obscnres Jupiter.
As announced by scientific men the
occultation of tho planet Jupiter by
the Queen of the Skies, (or gentle
Luna, as lovers call her,) oame off at
the time fixed to a minute. In this city
the heavens were unclouded, and the
opportunity offered for a good obser
vation was exceptionally line.
This event was interesting to mil
lions of people, for it was visible alj
over tho United States, in Europe and
South America and Mexico.
Probably the hoys and girls up there
did some kissing (if they kiss) while
the darkness was around. We had
no telescope, or other glass, but used
one fist upon tiie other which served to
clear away the halo about tho moon
and enabled us to see tiie star as pass
ing the penumbra into total eclipse.
The planet did not pass through the
middle of the moon, bnt at its ex
treme Southern horn, and at one
time we thought the star would miss
tlia moon and upset all tho calcula
tions of the wise mon; but it went un
der and was hid from human eyes for
nearly an hour. Jupiter behaved
very decorously and came out on the
western side in all his natural bright
ness and beauty and soon sank to
rest, and so did we.
