We will mention a curious fact right
here, In connection with the postal busi
ness of three cities of but little difference
in Size ad population -Macon, Columbus
and Montgomery—*H on the line of the
fast mall route as It now runs:
For the four weeks oomrnencing .Jauua
ry 15th, the United Statea Post Office De
partment required a report In detail from
'ovSr-OWo 1 hundred of the largest offloee In
the United Btates, In order to get an
average of their business. This report
Severedfcnir weeks, and shows the dally
pveriwi* of the number of pieces and the
average‘dally weight of all mall matter
sent from these offices.
We compare the business of Macon, Co
s Montgomery, and find the
following result:
Lully average Average
number pound
of piece*. weight.
Mouou. $5,117 630
Coltinibue. vA.Lw 1 1,623 " 107
Montgomery 2,111 116
'Xhs preLeuaiou that the Macon oflice le
gitimately does 50 per cent more business
Ursu both Columbus and Montgomery
Oottfblited. Is tpo absurd to gain orodsnee
among business men; and yet the figures
of the reports before us show that \o be a
fact. We hope our Postal Committee will
try to sett where this wrur is, as there Is
evidently some error in tlioMucou reports
and It ought to bo explained. , |
MHS.JAKI.ET H WAX WORKS.
- ■ -'■■■' ■—-——■■■ -
A LABiIK ACDIHNIT, ANl> FINE ACTING—
ABOUT S2OO CLEARED.
Under the excellent nurnagemeut of
lira Jorley (Mr. Matt O’Brlop), assisted
by her poet Mr. Blum, (G. Gunby Jordan)
the Wax Works were exhibited with fine
effect and preciseness last night to a large
and appreciative audience at Springer
Opera House.
The crowd which assembled at the Op
era House came through a heavy April
rain, which was aucompaniod by light
ning and thunder; yet. with this disad
vantage, the house was full.
Mrs. Jarley then, in her inimitable style,
showed forth the following “Wax Fig
gore” :
f George Washington and the Cherry
Trob,' Mark O'Brien.
Oliver Twist, Charlos Joseph.
Torn Thumb, Moo Sparks. This "Hg
ger" to6k to attitudes, with the smile of
death o'ersproadtng Its rounded features.
Original Sewing Machine, Miss Ella
Crawford.
Ur yon and his drat production, Jos.
Barnett.
Little Boy Blue, Jake Burras.
Nero, Ban. Joseph.
The Editor, J. W. Ivey.
Chinese Giant, George Burrus.
Blck Swlveller, Oscar Jordan; the Mar
chioness, Miss Anne Fatten.
Oapt, K idd—Singleton Coart
The Giggler—Miss Minnie Alien.
Jack Spratt— Mr. McEwen, and his wife
Miss Mary Williams.
' Madam Squawly—Frank Woodruff.
Her squalls brought down the house,
she must must have learned early that
mouth was not put there for nothing.
The BeOrult, Joe. Tillman.
This “Bggrer” wound up the wax works,
which was part Ist Then succeeded tho
Statuary of Frayor,which was beautifully
represented by Miss Mary Banning, in
raiment of pure white, then Hercules,
then Hope, then a Roman hurling the
discus, then Charity, which was acted by
Miss Bennlng and litle Carrie Johnston.
The death ot Cmsar, which followed was
shown with tine effect from a brilliant
violet hue east upon it.
Tho third part was occupied with a few
tableaux, and by special request Mr. Mat
O'Brlon, as Mrs, Jarley, stwig: “Then
you’ll remember me!” and being loudly
encored he sang the song beginning: “ ’TIs
but a little faded (lower.’’
The singing of the dibble Gobble Fam
ily, by Mrs. Jarley and her family, ended
the highly interceding programme of the
evening.
For the BUOCOSS of this entertainment
the prafso is chiefly duo to the untiring
effort* of* Mrs. Jarley- and through us,
Bite reoelvh* the thanks of the public.

\u Time to Lose
Otto of the most substantial and success
ful planters tu this grange district asks
ns to urgo all the farmers In tho aountry
to cross their cotton Holds, and plant
corn. He says this will damage the cot
ton vory little If any and, the yield of corn
will far more than oouipousato lor any in
jury it will do to tho cotton. Cotton land
is already prepared by the plow and
tho manure distributed which will
save tho work of preparing land afresh
(or corn, which’ might make It rathar late.
Thorooont rapid advance iu corn and
Hour, and tho prospects of both going still
much higher, makes it so obviously to the
advantage of our farmers to make their
own broad, instead of raising ootton at
low prteoH, to buy it, that it Is thought
only needful to remind them of the pres
ent, and prospect olTccts on tho provision
crops, of the great wur now being inaugu
rated in the old world.
Let every farmer raise cow peas, pota
toes, rice and sugar earns.

A great number of persons are feeling
annoyed by the Withy-condition of contig

made to Mayor Brannon by persons who
(llaHkeiq report ttaoti neighbors. Mayor
Upsonon Is determined u> see tti*tthe lou

i-lean, and at hi* request we publish the
City Ordlnanuett in regard to yiulsances,
that, all may know ms duty as well as
their own. N<M t the time Uf commence,
and by starting the summer with clean
premises, we can easily keep them clean,
and thereby greatly lessen the liability to
sick sees, and the certainty of much dis
comfort, and probably large doctors* bills.
ORDINANCE IN KULAIUIN TO NUISANCES.

MEINIEA-LTON-UAVIH CASE,
Beale, April 20,1877.
Kdilom Time: The Meinika case, sot
for to-day In the Circuit Court, was taken
up. The hour of noon was reached before
the Jury was completed. That body is
composed of fair-minded, honest men,
an>l one of the best wo ever saw empan
nollod in tho county. The afternoon was
almost wholly exhausted In the discussion
of the admissibility of Mulnika's confes
sions. The subject was thorougjUy dis
cussed, tho contliotlgir authority**t-eclje
and their reeonolUuttofi easily rßWThedTjy
the Judge, who, while ho acknowledged
the conflict, was satisfied that Meinika
nad confessed under such circumstances
as entitled the Jury to Its consideration.
Only one witness has been examined so
fur, fully. Dr. Thomas heard that Lyon
had oomo to his death by a gun-shot
wound In tho neck. That tho wound was
caused by an Iron slug, flattened at both
ends, and was proceeding to say what
Meinika had said to him, whon he was
stop (>pd Joe tho discussion above, a starred

testifled,' In briof 4 that Meinika <Jn the
morning of the Kith of November last, at
Crawford, confessed to him voluntarily
that he had done the killing, ami gave tho
details of this confession as heretofore
published in the Times.
To-inorrow the case goes on, and It now
promises to be a long and thorough and
bitter Investigation. The fate of Meinika
to a great extent must control that of
Mrs. Lyon and Mrs. Davis, and hence the
warmth of tho battle. Yours,

Whtletho month of May, has been long
and well known, as the month of frolics,
picnics, dances, and the like, when nature
as It were puts on her bapplest mood, It is
not so well known though it Is secretly
felt that the cultivating spirit of the
muses, springs moat spontaneously In
the same month. The hum of busy na
ture llrnls a kindred feeling lu the human
breast and this finds an outlet In produc
ing swoeter sounds. Doubtless It was
due tills fact that the young ladies of
thedbllegwlostihenvely Tiold their first
“musical" In the month of May, uncon
scious that It could scarcely havo been
otherwise. By this musical and
others of a like character we may
hope to enjoy a spring or summer
evening, when otherwise, in laziness we
might unprofitably doze our precious
time away.
Columbus will gain much, if affairs of
this kind attract her attention principally
during the summer months.

Good Advice.
Now is the time of year for Pneumonia,
Lung Fever, Ac. Every family should
have a bottle of Boechee's German Syrup.
Don't allow for one moment that cough to
take hold of your child, your family or
yourself. Consumption, Asthma, Pneu
monia, Croup, Hemorrhages, and other
fatal diseases may set in. Although it Is
true German Syrup Is curing thousands
of these dreaded diseases, yet It is much
better to havo It at hand when three do
ses will cure you. One bottle will last
your whole family a winter and keep you
safe from danger. If you are consump
tive, do not rest until you have tried thin
remedy. Sample bottles 10 cents. Reg
