Here's Your Mule.
We don’t mean Jim Boyd, but that he
has Just received another lot of splendid
Kentucky mules, which are to be sold
cheap. Itoyd has supplied this section
with mules for the last seven years, and
all that Is necessary is to let It be
known that he has them, and the sale
will take place. Some people say Boyd
must be kin to a mule be, knows them so
well, and then he is Just stubborn enough
to sell you s mule below oost rather than
miss a sale.
Fair Vlaltors Expected.
Several of Atlanta's most fascinating
belles are expected soon, and will partici
pate In the Grand Masquerade. Mont
gomery and Macon will be represented.
We also hear that one of the prettiest and
most popular of La Grange’s beauties will
be present on the occasion. With this
string of pearls we havs no doubt that
the whole affair will be par excellence and
will “go off” with the greatest eclat.
United States Csurt—savannah.
Postmaster Waiter H. Johnson returned
from Bavaunah yesterday, where he had
been for several days in attendance ou the
United States Court ss a witness in the
case of the United States vs. A. T. Cal
houn. The oaee came up for trial on Mon
day and Calhoun plead gsilty to the
charge, when he was sentenced to two
years In the penitentiary. He appeared
in good health, and expressed deep con
trition for past follies and crimes.
An Appointment Cancelled.
The Aimee Opera Troupe has concluded
toetaylnNew Orleans a while longer,
and consequently wrote to Mr. Springer
to cancel their engagement, though they
might come later, about the middle of
April, but Mr. Springer says It Is all bosh,
they won’t oome at all. They say that the
political troubles cause them to break
their engagements. This cancellation
leaves now only two troupes, Chanfrau
and Mary Anderson, and these two may
be cancelled before we have time to turn
'round. Precious little fun Is left the
opera goers this year.
Has the Present (old snap Killed the
Oats?
We have heard this question asked late
ly, and from the general tenor of the an
swers given by our farming friends, we
are indueed to fear that, if not killed, they
are seriously injured. They seem to have
suffered must In the stiff lands, and more
from the “spewing" of the earth than
from the effect of the cold directly on the
crop Itself. Ws hope the damage done is
not so great as present apperances would
Indicate, and that they will soon recover
from the blight It is but lately that the
has been properly appreciated to
as a food crop; and tf the fall
planting has been damaged beyond recov
ery, our farming friends should put In a
good supply this spring. They will save
wonderfully when the corn crib begins to
run low, and nothing Is better for work
ing stock. Remember tbe oat crop, and
be sure to have enough for home use and
some to sell.

BBOOXS.
We understand an Interesting case will
come up before Judge Brooks to-day on
behalf of Mr. Alien who run for Bailiff in
the 779<1 District on Baturday last. Mr.
Allen will contest the eligibility of Mr
Mullins—who received s higher vote than
himself, on the grounds that Mr. Mullins
has not resided three months In the dis
trict, which he alleges Is neoeesary to en
title him to the offloe. And further be
claims the offloe for hlmaelf as his vote
was the highest of the other eligible can
didates. Judge Brooks Is a man of knots
—he Issues marriage llosoas—but whether
be will relish this knotty question, or not
Is not for us to guess. If he oould re:er it
to some modern returning board, with a
gun barrel attachment, he could soon dis
pose of It.
Lawyers Meriting Offlee.
The hundreds of offloe seekers under
Gen. Colquitt, sre pretty well represented
In lawyers.
From this elrcutt there sre seventeen
sppilounts for Solicitor General, three for
Judge of Buperlor Court, four for County
Judge, and three for County Court Solic
itor.
All of these applications from lawyers
remind us of a story told on an ex-Co
lumbus lawyer, now a Senator In the Al
abama Legislature. Years ago the Solic
itor Generals were elected by the Legis
lature. Quite a number from this place
were applicants, in fact all of the younger
members of the bar. They had all gone
to MilledgevlUe to urge their claims be
fore the Legislature. One young lawyer,
(now the Senator), made hie formal appli
cation, but seemed not to exert himself
for the office. When asked why heap
plied, and told he stood no showing at
the offloe, he replied "I know It, but 1
want the people to know I am a Columbus
lawyer, as all are applying, and my
friends might not know I was practicing,
If I did not apply also.”
Tbia must be the case with the lawyers
through the State, for from every circuit
an avalanche of lawyers are asking to be
made Judges and solicitors. All can't
get It, and a number are doomed to dis
appointment. They ought not to get mad,
but take It easy.
ATLANTA NOTES.
The Telegram says that Columbus is
magolllcently represented In Atlanta.
The coming Legislature is remarkably
full of young men.
Between six and a dozen hotels have
sprung up In Atlanta In tho last few
days.
Col. A. O. Bacon, of Bibb, is said to be
tbe handsomest man In the House.
MaJ. R. J. Moses Is complimented very
highly by the Telegram. The Telegram,
perhaps, forgot that It was giving due
praise to a Ben Hill man.
Tbe four candidates for Secretary of
State are very busy canvassing their
claims, walking along with the represent
atives, and often In secret session with
them.
Atlanta girls have lately taken to the
black bombazine bauds around their lov
er's hats, and say that If they can't have
the fellows themselves, they desire to be
transformed Into bauds. Atlanta boys
must be rare diamonds. Indeed.
Miss Mary Anderson, the girl trage
dienne, will appear in Atlanta in the early
part of February, and In Columbuß very
soon after.
Tbe grand ball at DeGlve's Opera
House, In Atlanta, will this year supply
the place of the Mardi Gras, because of
the stringency of tbe times.

and proflitably, in examining his varied
and superb collections of Photographic
Art Pictures. He charges nothing for
looking, being always glad to have any
one visit him and examine his collection.
If you should want your picture taken in

The rotten Trade of t. I .out a.
No one who knows anything at all
of the status of node in St. Louis
needs to be informed tlml at present
the most important item is the cot
ton brought from Arkansas and Tex
as by the Iron Mountain R >ud. Hah
a dozen years ago not a single bale ol
cotton passed through the bunds ot
Si. Louis merchants, but the compe
tition of the connections of the Iron
Mountain and Southern Hoad with
ihe leading foods of the South aud
West Ims developed a trade almost
unpuraileied in the history of tue
West. The total receipts of cotton
for 1874 were 154,943 bales, and lot
1876, 173,480 bales. The year 1876 saw
a still larger increase, the number oi
bales received being 245,958,
Some of this enormous quantity,
of course, came by oue or two othei
roads, but over ‘JUO.UUU bales were
brought directly from the planters to
St. Louis by the Iron Mouutaiu aud
Southern.
But so long as we have no cotton
mills here to manufacture the ra
cotton brought lrotn the South, St.
L .uis must always be a mere polut
or transfer. It would be well for the
prosperity of the city if this were dif
ferent—if St. Louis were a munufac
turiug as well us a receiving point.
Since this is not at present the case,
the efforts of Bt. Louis tnerchauts
should be directed to securing the
best possible terms from tho rail
roads leading from here to New
York for the shipment of cotton in
bales. At present the rates are 100
bigh, and though on one or two con
tracts lor many thousand bales each
special rates have been made, the
geueral rate foreottou freight should
be such a figure as needs not to be
accommodated to special contracts,
t’he fact that the Iron Mouutaiu
road has lately brought, in oue con
tract alone, lu,ooo bales from Galves
ton to this city, eu route to New
York, is an evidence of what the
road is already doing for the city.
Hnd an earnest of what it will accom
plish in lu'ure if the eustern roads
are induced to make more favorable
freight rates from here to the sta
bour.—Q lube-Democrat.
Hair-Bred Htiiralne* tn tlie Dairy.
The long-mooted question whether
the buffalo onu nut be suucesslully
utilized for dairy purposes, says tue
Turf, Field and. Farm, is now tn a
(air way of beiug satisfactorily set
tled. The appreheusion hllheito en
tertained regarding the uniatuetible
nature of the buffalo, aud that the
ehatacterisiies ot this branch of the
bovine fumily would be certain to
crop out t hr mgu indefinite crossings,
appears to be totally groundless.
The buffalo, or, more proi>erly,
American bison, is being used exten
sively in portioned tue State ol Ne
braska, bordering ou the wild plains
of the *ar West, for stock purposes,
and that half and quarter-bred fe
males of the bison family yield au
abundant supply of rich milk. A re
markable feature connected with this
cross ot the bison witn the domestic
cattle is the fact that the color of the
bisou aud the majority of its distin
guishing characteristics disappear af
ter successive erossiugs. lis outward
conformation is also, lu process of
time, in a great degree, lost sight of.
The hunch, or lump of flesh covering
the loug spinous processes of the
dorsal vertabtm, becomes diminished
with each successive cross, and will
doubtless also disappear entirely as
the original type becomes merged iu
the domestic auiutni.
Mr. J. W. Cunningham, now living
at Erie, Pa., formerly ol Hoaaro
county, Nebraska, in a recent letter
presented muny 1 tcresting facts in
connection wim this subject, b.tseu
upou his own experience, which teu
del'| them of great importance to the
fanners ami breeders of tbo Western
country. He writes:
"The buffaloes on my ranch con
sisted of two young cows and one
bull. I fed them carefully with the
cows, but kept them coufined at
night. In the spring it wus discov
ered that two of niv cows were with
calf by tbe buffalo bull. Tho calves
proved to be both heifers. Wheu
three years old they became mothers,
the sire beiug of short-horn stock.
The calves were weaned, aud the
mothers, although showiug some of
the buffalo characteristics, proved to
be very good milkers, quite gentle,
giving an average of fourteen quarts
of milk per day for at least five
mouths, aud such rich milk I never
saw. This strain of buffalo stock ex
tended through a considerable por
tion of Howard county. I have a
half breed bull of this stock, which
proves to be both useful and attrac
tive. There are others. I learn, in
other sections of Nebraska, who own
half and quarter breeds that prove
to be very hardy.”
From other sources in the West we
learn that the cross of tbe Americau
bison with native and graded short
born cattle lta9 proved completely
successful, ex|M>riments baviug been
tried on a sufficiently large scale to
satisTy the most skeptical people.
Utilizing the buffalo for dairy pur
poses is an old custom in the hot
countries of tbe eastern continent,
where almost all the cheese is made
of buffalo milk. The business iu this
country is compai stively new and
not yet fully developed, but we ntay
reasonably hope to see it. spread like
wildfire in the course of a few years
throughout the entire West.

These deservedly celebrated and popu

iu the healing urt, aid proved the fallacy
of several maxims which have for many

science, lhe false supposition that “Con

for that disease, and patients afflicted
wiihlt reconciled themselves to death
without making an effort to escape from
adoom wiiich they supposed to be una
voidable. It is now proved, h iwever, that
Qjnuymplicmcan be cured, aid that it has
been cured in a very great number of
