THE FIREMEN’* HOP.
,m ■ ..y .i, ■ -
A Largs Attendance and Mm Thread-
The Mnual bop of the Columbus Fire
Department was held last night at the
RaukJUt House, which wan prepared ele
gantly fur the gallant firemen and thoir
gueat% by Mrs. Gray, the proprietress,
and to Whom everything which tended to
the amusement and convenience of those
who were present, Is to be chiefly ascribed.
The brilliant parlors were all open; four
large rooms set for supper, besides the
splendidly lighted oorrldors and the large
dancing hall, which latter place raaiuly
received the devoted attention of the nu
merous persons there assembled.
The lomonado, Icecream and cake which
was served abundantly, was os delicious
asooutd be desired, and not to bo excelled
In point of comfort at this season of the
year by a costly repast of various meats
and tempting viands.
Alt the chief officers of the Depart
ment were present.
Rogers’ sxoellent string band furnish
ed music for the dancers, who continued
until a late hour wrapt In the enjoy
ment of Its strains.
The merited success of this entertain
ment Is due to the exertions both of the
Firemen and citizens of the place, for
they equally strive to outrivul each other
In generality, and each have so far sig
nally failed to gain an ad vantage.
Turned Over In the Klver.
Yesterday, while two brothers. Ed and
Mock Carpenter endeavored to cross No 1
sluice with their boat, but in the passage
the boat struck against a rook and was
dashed to pieces and the two brothers
were thrown into the water. Being good
swimmers they however sustained them*
selvos admirably until a boat put out and
took them in. This Is not the first time
that such an accident has happened In No.

Another of the old and well known
citizens of Columbus died yesterday—Dr.
W. K. Schley. Ho died of cancer, with
which he had been suffering for some time.
He was a man of many good traits, and a
physician of acknowledged skill, though
latterly, owing to feeble health, but little
engaged In the practice of his prefession.
His ago we suppose to have boon about
seventy years. He had resided In Colum

known.

A Kay Time at Troy on the 22i1.
The Trojans have decided to hold, auy
way, the grand picnic In Troy on the 22d,
and a military ball on tho night of the
oarne day, although there will be no offi
cially ordered encampment of tho Second
Alabama Regiment. Tho two following
companies will be present as the guests of
the Troy Light Guards, viz., the Bullock
Guards and Columbus Guards, and per
haps the Montgomery Greys. The train
will leave this city at 5 o'clock on the
morning of the 22d, and tickets will be
good for two days; ono train, however,
will leave Troy just after the ball, for the
convenience of any who may have busi
ness to attend to at home on the 23d. The
visttlng companies will be lodged at the
hotel.
The following letter was rocoivcd by
Capt. Shepherd of the Ouluntbus Guards
yesterday morning;
Trot, Ala., May 14, 1877.
Capt. Shepherd: Dear Sir— The post
ponement of the annual encampment of
the Second Alabama Regiment at this
plaoe, on the 22d Inst., will not affect tho
anniversary picnic of the Troy Light
Guards. At a meeting of our Company
this afternoon it was decided that the
Company would havo the picnic notwith
standing tho fact that the Regiment has
disappointed us. and it is the wish of our
Company that all the Columbus compa
nies accept the Invitation already extend
ed and bo present on tho occasion. Ample
arrangements have been made for the en
tertainment of the military. We also de
sire that the Muscogee "Rifles” be invited
aud we hereby extend authority to you
to invite them, and although this mode
is informal we hope they will take no ex
ceptions, os the time now is too short to
invite them formally. Tho programme
will be somewhat changed from that pub
lished, but wo will send you a copy by
Thursday morning at farthest. In the
change of programme tbo ball will take
place on the night of the 22d Inst.; the
companies therefore will bo exported on
the morning of that day.
Please lot us know by return mail and
oblige.
S. A. Williams,
Capt Troy Light Guards.
A formal acknowledgement of this let
ter was yesterday made by Secretary L.
F. Woodruff.

Kobbttd r dewt-lry and Money.
Mrs. Stevenson, who keeps a bakery
aud confectionery store on Broad street,
opposite Express office, was robbed, ebe
thinks on "Sunday. She discovered It on
Monday, when she went into a trunk to
get a set of jewelry which she desired to
wear, and which she was accustomed to
keep in the trunk, but was not to be
found. There were several other pieces
of jewelry missing, viz: Set carings and
breast pin, watch and two gold chains,
small gold breastpin and twogold pencils,
and three pieces of English money, two
half-sovereigns and one five shilling
piece.
On examining the premises, a pane of
glass in one of tho windows to the house
was found to bo broken, and a pin which
fastened it also broken, through which
the thieves probably entered.
After discovering her loss, Mrs. S. re
membered that she hud taken in a 5 shil
ling piece from a woman of ill-repute for
broad Sunday night. She immedialely
sent after a policeman, and told him the
circumstances of the robbing, and of the
woman from whom she got the 5 shilling
piece. He went to tho woman and she
said she got the money of Alf Cadman.
The police arrested Cadman, wbo, after
some time, confessed that he was con
nected with the robbery, but said that he
did not enter tho the house, but that a
young man formerly employed by Mrs. S.
named Charles Crlehtondld the work, he
only furnishing the key that opened the
trunk.
Mrs. Stevenson has recovered all the
property save one of the half-sovereigns,
and is willing to drop the case, having
had Cadman released. Crichton had the
watch and chains, but says Cadman gave
them to him. He was not arrested. They
are both the sons of hard-working, re
spectable parents, who have beon known
to our citizens for years.
With the money which these boys ex
pected to get by ths robbery, (which was
about $160) they intended to leave imme
diately for the West, but not getting the
money as was expected, for Mrs. Steven
son had it hid in a berrol of hops, the
plan miscarried, and the particulars fol
lowed as above described.
Cadman is said to have left the city;
We suppose the Grand Jury will take
the matter in hand.

A How AmoiifC the DlMtliiKulKtied.
The predilection for historic names
among the colored folks is well known
in tho light, rows and brawls which often
occur among, servo to bring out upon the
battle ground, many namesakes of per
sonages who havo figured in history. A
fight of this kind occurred on last Sun
day night, which by the way, seems to be
selected oltenest as the time for unseem
ingly brawls. The chief actor was a dusky
female, named Serena Goldsmith, who
took offense at George Washington, a
chap living upon an adjoining lot, for lan
guage applied opprobiously to her young
er brothers. Those brothers, Rutherford
B. Hayes and Andrew Jackson Goldsmith,
not having resented the übuso, their
cause was taken up by "the
wrathful Juno" and she forthwith
discharged a continuous voiley of scorch
ing syllables. These, however, had no
effect on the serenity of the noble George,
who sat like a true salamander unharmed
and neither winked nor blinked under tbo
abusive tlrude. His bland composure did
not mitigate, in any degree, her rising
wrath, for a happy thought struck her,
and in less time than it will take to tell it,
Washington was dodging in an undigni
fied manner, a chair, which circled
around unpleasantly in close proximity to
ills cranium. This last act unsettled
George Washington's patience, when
added to it came auy quantity of
sticks and stones from Andrew Jackson
and Rutherford Hayes, who, until some
manifestation of spirit was shown by
their sister, were strongly inclined to
neutrality, and ho, (Georgo,) being
now backed by Alexander T.
Stewart, newly arrived upon the scene,
seizing, instead of a little hatchet, the
prostrate chair, he aimed it with prodig
ious force against his Amazonian aggres
sor and leveled her with the earth. At
this point in the proceedings, A.T. Stew
art vauishod suddenly, and George Wash
ington, also, overcome by the audacity of
his pluck, feared to face the illustrious
onos assembling from all sides, and retir
ed hurriedly to his country residence,
which he happened to remember in an op
portune moment was a few miles distant
from the scene of his exploits, from which
place no nows has has lately been received
from him.
Miss Goldsmith notv mourns her irasci
ble proclivities with a hole an inch
or so deep in her head, and she fears she
will not rccovor in throe or four days at
least. Interloper.

The Two Newsboy*.
While passing along the street one
evening, my attention whs arrested
by a little newsboy, who said to his
companion :
‘‘Say, Charlie, how much money
have you made to-day?”
“Twenty-Uve cents.”
"Jolly! is that so? Don’t tell your
mother how much you have made;
keep part of it. yourself.”
The little fellow straightened him
self up, and with great earnestness,
exclaimed; s
‘‘Do you think T would tell my
mot her a lie.”
Turning to tho little fellow with an
approving smile, I said, “That is
right, my little fellow; always tell
the truth.”
Noble little fellow! if he abides by
that principal of truth, he may rise
from his humble position to one of
usefulness an honor.
Honest boys make honest men, and
honest men make happy homes,
good citizens, fair dealers, true
Christians and just legislators ; while
dishonesty fills the luud with suffer
ing and wickedness, and peoples
jails and prisons with both young
and old. Could granite walls and
iron bars speak to us, they would tell
us, the sad fate of thousahds who be
gan their downwurd career by de
ceiving and lying.
