HAMILTON WILKINS AND Allas L. B. ROBERTSON. AT GOLD HILL RECEPTION AT CAPT. fW. P. BPBATLINO’B—MUSIC, LOVE AND HAPPINESS. W'ednosday, In company with a number of Invited guests, we loft hero in a special car bound for Gold Hill, on theß. A M. Railroad, to witness the marriage of Maj. Hamilton Wilkins, Supervisor of the Western Railroad, and Miss Leila Robert son, of that place. The party comprised about twenty of the most fasolnatlng and beautiful of Co lumbus ladles, and an equal number of our most elegant and agreeable young gentlemen. A special car had been pro vided by the Western Railroad for the occasion, and into It we all were seated. The Italian band was along, and ere we leftthscity the party were favored with sweet music. The happy party soon reached Opelika, and there remained a couple of hours. Tho time spent In Opeli ka was agreeably disposod of. The young gentlemen of tho party eager for a dance, engaged tho parlors of the Sledge House, and for an hour or more the merry dan cers enjoyed themselves. At six o’clock wo left Opelika In a special train, tendered by the ST A M.R.R. Company in compli ment.to MaJ. Wilkins who was so long In charge of the construction] of Jthat road- Our numbers was augmented by an equal numborfrom Opelika, bent upon the same mission. In an houxor moro we reached Gold Hill, voyances were In waiting for tho laufek 61 the par ty, and they were carried to the bride's residence. The gentlemen donned their best, in the train, where everything was provided for their comfort. In a very short space of time all had con gregated at tho hospitable residence of Mrs. Robertson, and joining their lady friends walked to tho church, about fifty yards distant. Tho bridal party shortly arrived, and the marriage ceremony was impressively performed by Rev. Dr. An drews. The bride is one of the loveliest of women, and as beautiful as she is beloved by her hundreds of friends present on the occasion. The young lady attendants were os beautiful as ft dream, and In their fleecy dresses made a picture for an artist brush. As soon as the soft tones of tho melode on died away, the call for carriages, wag ons, and buggies was heeded, and a cara van of vehicles stood in waiting to carry the entire wedding party to the UKOEPTION given to the happy couple by Mr. and Mrs. W. P, Sprat!ing. Their residence was two miles distant, but it seemed but a fow hundred yards so swiftly did the thne fly riding under the pule iit moon and bright stars, keeping time to the joyousaess of the party, ttie peals of merry laughter and tho strains of sweet music.' The party was most hospitably welcom ed by the hosts, assisted by the elegant cor diality of Mrs. Roper, aunt to the bride. The magnificent grove in front of the yard was illuminated with lire stands, while over the portals of the front porch was suspended green decorations, bearing the word “welcome.’’ The music was brought into requisition again, and until tho iu vital ion to the banqueting hall, tho time was consumed in dancing. Mrs. Denson, during the time favoring the guests with some of her most exquisite vocal melodies. The tables wore loaded with everything to entice an epicure. Everything was bottntifully supplied, elegantly served and so hospitably dispensed. The tables were arranged sojas to make tli e initials “H. and Li.” Over the dining room mantel, workod In evergreen was the name of the bridegroom and bride. About two o’clock the guests began to leave amldj many good-byes and klud words, nnd not long thereafter we were speeding back to Columbus. We all ar rived safe, at five o’clock yesterday morn ing, and though fatigued, were filled with the most pieasant recollections of our vis it, and earnestly wishing tho greatest happiness to tho lot of our newly matrled friends. 'll- § —*! Let Is Have a Tllden Club. Tho suggestion of Col. Wilkins, our effi cient Chairman of the Executive Commit tee, calling upon the young and the old mon to organize a Democratic Club, meets with general approval. There is not a city the size of Columbus In the United States but that has her Democratic Club. While it is truQ Tildeu and Headricks will be overwhelmingly elected in Georgia, still we ought to organise, that our work at tho polls will be systematic and uniform. We ought not to let our large majority lull us Into slumber, but rather lot it urge us to a greater majority, and by our influence help our sister States rid themselvesof the cormorant Badieal party. We hope Saturday night will see the Court Boom crowded and a thorough or ganization perfected. Tho young men of tho city, all, should lend a helping hand. The destinies of tho party, and of Its or ganization, will soon fall upon your shoul ders, and now you should learn to work In party harness. The Club can do a vast deal of good, and we hope to record a rousing meeting and a thorough organi zation. Turn oat Saturday night. New Cooiik. Sour Kraut.

We traet that we will be pardoned for taking from the Scientifc American a few hints that journal gives as to the danger arising from petroleum lamps; All explosions of petroleum lamps are in the space above the oil. When full of oil, of course, a lamp contains no gas, but Immediately on lighting the lamp con sumption of oil begins, soon leaving a space for gas, which commences to form as tho lamp warms up, and, after burning a short time, sufficient gas will accumu late to form an explosion. The gas in a lamp will explode only when Ignited. In this respect it is like gunpowder. Cheap or Inferior oil is always most dungorous. ( Election Tickets.

What the country wants ta candidate who cannot be injured by Investigation of his past history, so that the enemies of the party will bo unable to rake up against him things that nobody ever hoard of before. If you know tho most about a candidate, to begin with, every attempt to spring things on him will be checkmated. Now. I am going to opter the field with an open record. lam going to own up, in advance, to all tho wickedness I havoiione; and if any Congressional committee is disposod to prowl around my biography, in the hope of finding any dark and deadly deed which I have secreted, why lot it prowl. In the first place, I admit that I did tree a rheumatic grand-father of mine in the winter 1859. He was old and inexpert In climbing trees, but with a heartless brutality that is charggteristic of me, I ran him out the front doOr in his night-shirt, at tho point of a shot-gun, and caused him to bowl up a maple tree, where he re mained all night while I emptied sh t into his legs. I did this because he snored. I will do it again if I ever have another grand-father who snores, I am as inhuman now as I ever was in 1859. No rheumatic person shall snore in my boose. I candidly acknowledge that I ranaway at the battle of Gettysburg. My friends have tried to smooth over this fact, by as serting that I merely got behind a tree; that I did so for tho purpose of imitating Washington, who went into the woods at Valley Forge to say his prayers. It is a miserable subterfuge. I cut in a straight line for the Tropic of Cancer, simply be cause I was scared. I wanted my country saved, but I preferred having somebody else save his. I entertain that preference yet. If the bubble reputation can be ob tained only at the cannon’s mouth, I am willing to go there for it, providing the cannon is empty. If loaded, my immor tal and inflexible purpose is to get sudden ly over the fence and go home. My inva riable practice in war has been to bring out of any given fight two-thirds more men than I took in. This seems to me to be Napoleonic in its grandeur. The lost time I ran for the Presidency there was some unpleasant talk about my implication in a transaction with the widow Pollock’s ducks. The matter was hushed up, but I have no objection to ad mitting tho truth respecting it. I have always had a favorite theory that roast ducks wore conductive to hysterical symptoms, and as every instinct of na turo prompts me to protect the widow from the rayogos of hysteria, I entered the coop in the garden and regretfully but (Irmly removed those ducks. The fact that she began a prosecution against me is not a matter of consequence. It is the fate of tiie philanthropist to be misunder stood. But duty is my guiding star, and if it leads me to ducks or destruction I shall follow it. My financial views are of tho most de cided character,but they are not likely per haps, to increase my popularity witli ttie advocates of inflation and contraction. I do not insist upon the special supremacy of rag money or hard money. The great fundamental principle of my lifo is to take anything I can got. Tho rumor that I buried a dead aunt under one of my grape-vines is founded upon facts. The vino needed fertilizing, my aunt had to be buried, and I dedicated her to this high purpose. Does this unlit me for tho presidency? The consti tution of our country does not say so. No other citizen was ever considered unwor thy of the office because be enriched his grape-vines with his relations. Why should Ibo solected as the first victim [of an absurd prejudice? I admit also that I am not a friend of the poor man. I regard the poor man in his present condition, as so much wasted raw material. But up and properly can ned, he might bo made useful to fatten the natives of the Cannibal Islands, and to improve our export trade with that re gion. I shall recommend legislation upon the subjoct in my llrst message. My campaign cry will be: “Dessicate the poor working man! Stuff him into sau sages !” Those aro about the worst parts [of my record. On them I come before the coun try. If my country don’t want mo I will go back again. But I recommend myself as a safe man~a man who starts from the basis of total depravity and proposes to bo fiendish to the last. Hark Twain as a Reporter. I reported on a morning newspaper for three years, and it was pretty hard work. But I enjoyed its attractions. Reporting is the best school in the world to get a knowledge of human beings, human na ture, anti human ways. A nice gentle manly reporter—l make no references— is well treated by everybody. Just think of the wide range of his acquaintance ship, his experience of life and society.— No other occupation brings a man Into such familiar social relations with all the grades and classes of people. The last thing at night—midnight—he goes brow sing around after itoms, among the polioe and jail birds in the lock-up, questioning the prisoners, and making pleasant and lasting friendships among some of the worst people in the world. And the very next evening ho gets himself up regard less of expense, puts on all the good clothes his friends have got, goes and takes dinner with the Governor or the commander In chief of tho district, tho United States Senator and some of the up per crust of society. He is on good terms with them, and is present at every gath ering, and has easy access to every varie ty of poople. Why, I breakfasted almost every morning with the Governor, dined with the principal clergyman, and slept in the station-house. And the reporter has to lie a little, or they would discharge him. That is why I left it. lam different from Washington. I have a higher, a grander standard Of principle. Washington could not lie. I can lie, but I won’t. Beporting is fasci nating, but then it is so distressing to have to He so. Lying is bad—lying is very bad. Every individual knows that by experience. I think that for a man to tell a lie, when he cannot make anything by It, is wrong. Cora Waned. Farmers can soil all their spare Corn, if shelled, at fair prices, at the City Mills. octß djfcw D.

News.) His jieraonal courage is very dis tinctly witnessed by the records of these events. It does not seem as if he courted or desired, or despised danger in the chivalrous sense, so much us that his mind was so ab sorbed in the direction of his battles that he had no place in it for appre hensions about himself. Constant ly wo read of him standing in situa tions whore his staff and others were being destroyed, and where shot and shell were falling profusely about; while he, surveying and contempla ting the fortunes of the field, was absolutely Insensible to what was passing at his elbow. At Hanan, while he was giving some directions, a shell fell quite close to him. He paid no attention to it, and no one dared to interrupt his speech; but those about him hardly breathed while they awaited the explosion; the missile had pene trated so far into the ground that its bursting was harmless. Napoleon does not seem to have been aware that there ever had been any danger. At the passage of the Elbe, when a ball struck some wood closo to him and sent a splinter close to his neck, he so far recognizad the danger as to say, ‘‘lf it had struck me on the breast, all had been over.” When he was suddenly recalled to Dresden by the unexpected attack of the allies, their fire was very hot over a space which he had to pass, and he crawled along there on his hands and knees, but never thought of waiting or of seeking another path. Nobody has ever given a reason why fortune should constantly fa vor these strong, ail venturous men; nor why they should be aware, as they seem to be, that they are proof against accidents that may come to other men. Force of will and physical vigor might be urged as tho cause of the men’s temerity, but strength of will or of body cannot keep off the strokes of shot and shell. A Bl| Fro* Story. Toronto Globe.] A remarkable incident occurred at Brown & Hall’s saw mill, at Acton, while a pine log was being sawed up into lum ber. The outside slab and one board had been cut off, and while the workmen were turning over the log they were sur prised to see a large toad poke his head out of a hole in which he was imbedded, and where he had barely escaped being cut up by the saw. How the stranger got there was a mystery, as he was com pletely incased in the wood, with no pos sible means of ingress or egress. As the log was the fourth or fifth from the butt of the tree, his position must have been at least fifty or sixty feet from the ground, and he had no doubt grown up with it from infancy, being probably hundreds of years old, The animal was quite flat, and nearly as large as a man’s hand. He was perfectly blind, but when taken from his bed be made use of his limbs to crawl away. The tree was perfectly sound, with the exception of a decayed spot about a foot in length below the hollow place in which he was imbedded. How did ho get there, and what did lie live on ? “THE ULI) KliLl IHLE.’’ We make our animal bow to the public, and beg to announce that we are again prepared to offer the best WINES, IdQUOBS and CIGABS, at whosale and retail at the lowest cash price.

The Na tional Democratic Party will this year make a bold, vigorous, and doubtless successful strug gle for tho maintenance and supremacy of those principles which are vital to the prosperity of the Republic and essential to the well-being of the people. In addition to the Presidential election, the people in Georgia and Florida will elect new State governments. In Florida the campaign promises to be unusually vigorous, and there is a probability that for the first time since the war the people of that Radioal-ridden State will elect a Democratic State Government. In these cam paigns the people of the South are deeply inter ested; and everv intelligent citizen, who has the welfare of his country and his section at heart, should acquaint himself with every detail of the great work of redemption and reform that is now going on. To this end ho should subscribe to and assist in circulating the Savannah Morning News, an independent Democratic newspaper, of pro nounced opinions and fearless in their expres sion ; a paper that is recognized everywhere as the best dtily in the South. Its editorial de partment is vigordus, thoughtful and consistent, while its news and local departments are marvels of industry and completeness. Its department of Georgia and Florida aflairs is not confined to a mere barren summary of events transpiring in those States, but is enlivened by comment at once apt, timely, and racy.
