In Mr. Cather’a weather prognosti
cations for the month of May, which
we copied two or three weeks ago, ho
predicted ‘‘cooling weather, showers
and high winds, with storm indica
tions,” from the 23d to the 27th. The
cooling weather commenced on the
23d, and we are having some stiff
breezes which may bethe first pulTs
of the high winds.
The Cincinnati Enquirer thinks
that the Republicans of Ohio will
this year endorse the declaration
last year made by tbe Democrats of
t hat State in favor of the remonetiz
ing of tho silver dollar. We hope
that tho Democrats will then, or
sooner, go something further bv de
manding the remonetizaion of all the
silver coin, which the people have
had to take at par from the Govern
ment. Make the office-holders and
tho bondholders take it as well as
the people who get it in exchange
for fractional currency.
It iB very neatly expressed by tho
the Mobile Register, iu this way:
“Tbe Southern people decline to ac
cept the proposition to ally them
selves with that portion of the Re
publican party which sustains tho
President’s Southern policy. They
stand ready to co-operate with all
who will defend that policy, but as to
forming a portion of a Presidential
party and surrendering the organiza
tion of the Houso to the enemies of
the Democracy, wo respectfully beg
leave to decline the proposition.”
Some Southern papers uro indus
triously striving to divide tho Demo
cratic Congressmen on tho question
of the Texas Pacific Railroad, so as
to affect the election of a Speaker by
that issue. It is to be hoped that
they will not be successful. Whether
the Speaker be a friend of aid to the
road or not, the Democratic majority
can control the action of tho House
ou the subject, and it will bo time
enough to make a fight on particular
measures as they oomo up. Let all
Democrats unite in electing one of
their own number Speaker, and then
divide as they see fit ou measures
like tho Pacific railroad.
The reported celerity of the Rus
sian movements in Asia, and the ap
parent earnestness with which they
are pressing tbe campaign iu that
quarter, seem to sustain the conjec
ture made some time ago, that the
demonstration iu Europe was only a
feint to engage the Turkish forces,
while the real aggressive movement
would first be made la Asia. We
have yet to see whether, after the
capture of Erzeroum, the Russian
advance on tbe Asiatio side will be
made towards Constantinople, or
along the course of the Euphrates
and Tigris to the Persian Gulf. We
are inclined to think that the latter
will be the course, if the Russian
force on the Danube is found strong
enough to hold that line.
The Nashville American says that
a Washington correspondent of one
of its Southern exchanges has made
the astonishing discovery that anew
l>arty is already in process of forma
tion in the North and West, that it
will doubtless receive accessions from
the South, and that it is going to
make Ben. H. Hill President in 1881.
He names such harmonious states
men and politicians as Clyrner, Kel
ley, Banks and Eaton, as sponsors
of this new party, and says “it is
known” that Hayes favors the nomi
nation of Hill by it.
There are some editors in the coun
try who regard Ben Hill as the
American Maohiavel. All the politi
cal plots of which the imagination
can conceive they are ready
to believe if his name is con
nected with it. If the above absurdi
ty is too great for tbeir credulity, it
is the first eharge against Ben Hill
that they have not eagerly accepted
as true.
The hyena, it is said, can now be
tamed; so there is a chance yet for
Zach Chandler.
THE BUT MAIL ROUTE.
Wo infer from dispatches report
ing another early visit of tho Postal
Commission to tho South, that hav
ing examined the route by way of
Macon and this city, the Commission
Is now about to look into und con
trast with it tho routo by way of Co
lumbia and Atlanta. A decision will
not be mado until this is done, and
perhaps the Chattanooga and Merid
ian route may also be examined be
fore It is determined which line will
be adopted for tho main and fastest
mall through the South.
While we have hopes that the argu
ments which have been presented
will secure the adoption of the first
named route (that through this city),
wo are not oversanguine, as the
claims of the others will also be
strongly pressed. If, however, the
Atlanta route should be selected, we
can still share largely in Its benefits
by a close connection at Opelika, and
wo trust that this will be secured. If
it should be found that a faster
schedulo can bo run on the Atlanta
than on the Macon and Co
lumbus route, and tho first
named shall therefore bo adopt
ed, tho mail from tho North
ought to reach Opelika by that
route as soon as it would reach
Columbus by the other. Wo can,
then, by a close connection, secure
the mail not exceeding an hour and
a half later than we would get it by
the fast mail ou the Macon route.
We think that we have good reason,
therefore, for tho confident belief
that we shall socuro a great improve
ment and acceleration of our mail
service, even if tho fast line does
not pass immediately through Col
umbus.
CAN ANTHRACITE COAL MAKE A
UUDII FIRE?
AXAI.TSII OF WOOO AND COAL.
BY THEODORA TRAMMELL.
The power for heating, in the
average wood, and in the average
coal, is no' far from equal. When
wood is distilled, and the volatile
products secured, they are found to
be Marsh Gas, (Ha 0); Olefiant Gas,
(H* C); a watery fluid called Pyrol
igneous Acid, or wood vinegar, and
a resinous substance called Wood
Tar. This last may also be distilled,
after which it is found to be compos
ed of benzole, a very light but a very
inflammable oil; and very heavy oil
whose principal ingredients are Cre
osote and Paraffine; Creosote, nota
ble for its preserving quality, and
Parafllne, a pearly white solid, with
out thste or odor, which may be used
to illuminate, and makes a beautiful
light. Some species of wood have
more than one of these ingredients,
while other species have more of
another Ingredient; for instance pine
wood has a great deal of tho “Tar”
in it, while several species of swamp
wood have a great deal of the ‘‘Py
roligneous Acid.” Whether wood or
coal makes a better lire, and
which is the cheaper depend
on several things—the kind of
wood, the kind of coal, the locality
iu which it is used, etc. As to the
heat, I stated in the beginning of this
article that it is not far from being
equal; the difference belongs to the
coal.
When coal is distilled at a very
high temperature, it emits a vast,
number of inflammable gases und
liquids, culled Coal Tars ; but when
distilled at a low temperature, it gives
out some gas and the liquid products,
which are then Oils. The “Coal
Tars” are distilled, and found to be
composed of throe Oils: Acid, Alka
line, and Neutral. The principal in
gredient in the Acid-Oil, is Carbolic
Acid; and this Oil (ColIoO), heated
with (N#Oa), makes Pirlo Acid, to
which we are indebted for a very
beautiful yellow color, found in cost
ly silk and woolen fabrics. The Al'
kaiine Oils are composed mostly of
Ammonia andAnaliue; the latter of
these is an oily substance, and when
acted upon by compounds easy to
give up their Oxygen, it gives us a
series of beautiful dye-stuffs—once
so costly, now so cheap.
Finally, the Neutral Oils are the
Coal Oils proper—and they are very
compound, being composed mostly of
Benzole. Tolnole, and Cumole, which
are the chief ingredients of the coal
oil used in lumps. Thpse statements
apply to bituminous eoal only; which
happened, geologically, la this way,
viz: In vast marshy regions iu the
Tropics, large masses of vegetable
matter accumulate upon the surface,
which sooner ar later sinks below its
original position, and is buried by
what ever soil or matter, which is
washed there, or otherwise. After
it i3 thus buried, the vegetable
matter is decomposed by its own
calorie, and the internal heat
of the earth. Now, the species of
eoal which these masses of vegeta
ble matter will form, depends almost
entirely upon the density of the
strata which surround them. If the
strata be packed, the gas cauuot
escape, bnt is retained, and forms a
part of the eoal, which is therefore
oily, soft, and is what we call bitu
minous or soft coal; if the strata be
porous, the gas escapes through it,
and hence the coal is dry, flinty,
known as Anthracite or hard coal.
The former burns with a good deal
of flame, while tbe latter burns with
out any flame. The question—why
anthracite coal does not make a good
fire, is almost equivalent to the
question—why will uot a grate full of
red hot stones make a good fire?
A San Francisco girl, on hearing
of a mortal accident to a discarded
lover,‘‘rushed to the bedside of the
dying man, and with eyes streaming
with tears and voice tremulous with
emotion, she brushed aside physi
cians and attendants, and clasping
her arms about the neck of her for
mer sweetheart, pressed his pale lips
to her own and kissed him repeat
edly, all the while calling him by his
first name in tones the most tender
and pathetic.” Then, says the re
porter, she left to dress for her wed
ding to his rival.
A TEXAS DUEL.
From lb* Houston (Tex.) Telegram. May IC.]
Probably one of the most exciting
and sanguinary tragedies that has
been known in this city since the
foundation thereof, shocked the com
munity yesterday about 12:30. The
actors iu tho tragedy were a peace
officer and a well known gambler;
the one the Marshal and Chief of
Police of this city, the other a mem
ber of a gang of sporting men. The
cause and facts of this bloody affair
seem, from the best and most trust
worthy source of information at
command, to be about as follows:
There Is in tho city a hackmau
named William Burton, who bears
the sobriquet of Yankee Bill. In the
morning, some misunderstanding
having occurred between Burton and
Matt Woodleif, the latter threatened
bodily injury, if not something
worse, to Bill. Bill applied to the
City Marshal for Woodlief's arrest,
which was made in Prindle’s saloon
by Eriubson and his deputy, Benj.
F. Williams. They took a pistol
from Woodlief and proceeded to
carry him to the calaboose ou
Louisiana street. They had little
difficulty with the prisoner till they
arrived at or opposite the store of
Mr. Charles Wiebmann, when Woed
lief stopped aud demurred to going
any further. Marshal Eriehson then
drew ilia pistol and cursed Woodlief,
when Mrs. Wichmaun, a sister of the
Marshal, ran in between them and
prevailed on Mr. Eriehson to desist
from further proceedings. It is re
ported Woodlief then told Eriehson
he would kill him. Arrived at the
calaboose Woodlief gave bond iu $250
for his appearauco before Recorder
Hurtin tiiia morning to unswerto the
eharge of disorderly conduct as well
as carrying a concealed weapon.
Those well acquainted with Woodlief
did not believe the matter would
here rest, and two or three friends of
Eriehson went and warned him to be
ou iiis guard, and either to arm him
self, prepared to meet his enemy, or
else go home and leave the streets.
Mr. Otto Eriehson, his brother, even
went further, aud persuaded the
Marshal to put on his (Otto’s) now
forty-four-calibre six-shooter.
A few moments previous to the
shooting, Woodlief was iu the Prin
d o saloon, corner of Main and Pres
ton streets. Mr. Henry Thomson
and Taylor Prindle had just been
trying to prevail upon him to go
home, as ho had been drinking. A
party whose name is unknown step
ped up and asked him if he intended
to take the language used by Erioh
son, to 1 which Woodlief replied no,
but that he would go and kill the
“Dutch scoundrel.” He then step
ped out, and Messrs. Thompson and
Prindle saw no more of him till
the noise of the pistols greeted their
ears.
A moment before the occurrence
the Marshal was standing at tho
southeast corner of Main and Pres
ton streets, near the Fox building,
with his back to the wall. Eye-wit
nesses say Woodlief wu3 first seen
crossing Main street, and about mid
way that thoroughfare, coming to
ward Erichsou from the direction of
tho opposite and southwest comer.
At the same time the gambler drew
his five-shooter, a forty-two calibre
Colt, anew weapon, which he is re
ported to have purchased at a hard
ware store iu tho morning, after be
ing discharged from custody ou
bond. The first shot was made by
Woodlief, missing his intended vic
tim, and lodgiug in the wall of the
Fox building. Eriehson, perceiving
his danger, made a pass for his
pistol, which he grabbed, but the
weapon hung in his clothing. In the
meantime Woodlief obtained his sec
ond shot, the ball striking Eriehson
in tho right thigh and breaking the
bone. He fell, but succeeded in
drawing his pistol. The first time
the weapon snapped; for the next
few seconds one shot followed an
other. Eriehson, although prostrate,
tired four shots, three of wnich took
effect iu the person of his assailant,
giving further evidence that he is a
crack shot. One shot took effect in
the right groin of Woodlief, crashing
through the trochanter major, break
ing the head of the femoral bone and
lodging in tho gleteus muscle, or soft
parts in tho rear. Another of Erlch
son’s balls penetrated the deltoid
muscle of the right arm, makiug a
flesh wound. A third bullet struck
Woodlief in the right leg below the
knee, passing through the posterior
edge of the fibula bone, aud lodgiug
in tho “eair.”
As soon as the shooting began there
was a general getting out of the way,
several men getting behind the post
office to avoid the bullets, which rat
tled in the vicinity.
It is impossible to see how the
numerous people on the streets
some of t hem women and children—
escaped being shot, the locality of
the shooting being one of the most
frequented in the whole city.
A multitude collected iu a very few
minutes and surrounded the wounded
men, who lay where they had l'alleu
in the street. Eriehson was first,
carried off by his friends to the drug
store of J. T. Foley, near by. From
thence he was carried to his resi
dence, in the first ward, near the
Burton bank.
Woodlief lay a considerable time
in the dust aud dirt of Main street,
his hat off, and his blood flowing
freely through his pant, leg and min
giiug with the soil of tbe street. A
dense crowd surrounded him. He
was finally taken ou a stretcher, his
countenance expressive of great
pain, put on a wagon, and oonv eyed
to the residence of Mr. John Baty", iu
the second ward, corner of Magno
lia and Clienevert streets.

A Paris letter says: We hear a
great deal about the River Pruth in
these days, and shall hear more of it
when the Russians begin to cross
over into Roumauia. My attention
lias been called to a romance con
nected with it, just published in a
Bucharest journal. In the month of
January last a peasant living upon
the Pruth started for the market
town with his sledge, having with
him his wife and four children. In
the afternoon the party was pursued
by a pack of wolves. The horse was
put into a gallop at once, but was too
heavily weighted to do much running,
and the beasts were soon lapping
their jaws within a few paces of the
party. Seeiug that escape by flight
was out of the question, the father
seized one of the children and threw
it out to the pack. The poor victim
was soon devoured, and before the
sledge had gone above half a mile
the wolTes were again upon it. An
other child was sacritied, and then
another, and the fourth and last had
just been thrown out when relief
came in sight. In her despair the
mother went to the authorities and
denounced her husband as an assas
sin. He was arrested, kept two
months in prison, and brought up
for trial last week. There was great
excitement in the Court when he re
lated the story of this shocking sac
rifice. The Judges said at the end
that if he had not resigned himself
to it he would have lost his children
all the same, and witn them his wife
and his own life. He was acquitted

Last week our planting friends be
came somewhat despondent, owing
to the effect produced upon cotton by
the cool days of the slowly progress
ing season. Tbe young man seemed
to long for rain aud sunshine, and
withered under the cooiisg pressure.
On Sunday last a splendid shower
eutno upon us; which was followed
by hot sunshine—and rain and sun
shine alternated as the hours came
and went. The consequence of this
change in the weather is that cotton
looks as though it had taken anew
lease of life; and is springing up
generally.
Corn is magnificent: and if wo have
propitious seasons from now to har
vest time, there is not barn room
enough in southwest Georgia to hold
the corn,fodder that will be produced.
This fact is encouraging to every one
since corn in this market sprung last
week from 90 cents to sl.lO per bush
el at one leaf). This rise was caused
as a matter of course, by the war de
mand from the East; and is the be
ginning of what we warned our plan
ters some weeks ago to guard them
selves against.
Wheat, rye and oats promise an

New York Herald.
The old party leaders, with the ex
ception perhaps of Senator Morton,
are either sulking or iu open mutiny ;
but the young men see their opportu
nity and gather about the President.
Thus in Pennsylvania Mr. Wayue
MuVeagb stands opposed to his kins
men, ttie Camerons; in Ohio Stanley
Mathews and Geueral Cox stand
against Taft and the old fogies; in
Michigan George Willard leads the
young men against Chandler; iu
New Jersey Phelps is opposed to Fre
tinghuyseu, Robeson and the Now
ark-Camden Ring; in Indiana Ben
Harrison and Judge Gresham give the
President even a heartier support
than Morton; iu Massachusetts
young Republicanism is encouraged
to new struggles, and even in Maine
Eugene Hale and Frye rebel against
Blaine and Hamlin.
We advise the Democrats, there
fore, not to count on a “walk over”
in 1880. They can succeed then only
by superior merit. We do not deny
mat they will have advantage in the
disgust of the people over the scan
dalous misconduct of the Republican
leaders in the last canvass. But that
alone will not save them, especially
if tho country shall be made to see
that the men who outraged and in
sulted it are out of lavor in Wash
ington. Nor have they much to gain
from tho factious opposition of these
men to the President add bis policy.
Mr. Hayes is said to have littfe fear
of Blaine, Chandler and the other
recalcitrants,and he is perfectly right.
These men may rage as they please,
but they have nowhere to go; they
have no place in the Democratic
party, and if they set up as chronic
"soreheads” in tneir own they will
quickly become ridiculous. If Mr.
Hayes is equal to his opportunities
ne may yet revive the Republican
party to such a degree that it will
give a hard tug to the Democrats. If
ne has the grasp and courage to ini
tiate £ really broad and progressive
policy the country will look twice
before it turns out the Republicans
in 1889.

The rising man is Igoatieff, who,
beyond being a trained diplomat, is
a distinctively Russian official after
the true Russian heart. Capable of
grand ideas, of generous impulses
and of enormous self sacrifice, his
altar contains beyond self only one
god, that of an ambition to see his
couutry dictate everything to Eu
rope and a—perfect willingness that
the United States should diotate ev
erything to America. He is a grand
centralizer, and his apiwreut conces
sions to Eugland in the late confer
ences and joint actions toward ar
ranging the vexed Eastern question
were simply to give the Disraeli-
Derby party the rope he felt assured
would be used to tie their usefulness
and power to a floating wreck of mis
spent opportunity. In this hisjudg-j
ment has proved correct, for what
ever issue the present diflieulty may
have, England's force as a mentor,
