A man in Columbus pawned his false teeth, the other day, to get mon¬ ey, with which to carry his wife in the circus. Certain colored men are going to run fof the City Council in Atlanta, and some fear is felt lest at least one of them will be elected. The United States government has just completed a steam dredge boat at Hawkinsville, for the purpose of clean, ing out the Orrnnlgee and Altamalm r iters. A negro, named George Mathis, was shot in the shoulder by a Dawson bar-tender, Enoch Proctor, last Satur¬ day night. He had used insulting hingnago to Proctor. Tho Augusta Nttes learns on good authority that tho factories of Angus fa have not only more orders ahead than they can fill, but have on file heavy orders for export. Mr. F. V. Evans, of the Albany .Atics, has been elected secretary and treasurer of the .Southwest Georgia Industrial Association, with a salary of S200 per annum. An Atlanta negro man asked to leave, what be said was a basket of beef, temporarily at a negro's house, and when the basket was looked it was found to contain a dead baby. Rev, R. W.

An old negro woman was found guilty of murder in Athens, but got a now trial on the ground that one of the jhrvmen in her case took a book into the jury room with him to while away the {fine. A negpo was killed by two men in Putnam county, a few ago. ilo had stolen a hoisc.uud when arrested, attempted to run, and was shot. About three months ngo, says the Columbus Times, a little daughter of Mr. A. G. McCrary was taken sudden¬ ly ill and continued io grow worm until she had lost nearly all her flesh, and Iho parents hail almost despaired of the child’s life. A few days ago ho sought medical assistance, and the child wart given some medicine whic h caused her to throw up a button, which all tho time had been lodged in her throat. She began to improve at once, and will soon regain her entire strength. The fallowing truly r markable story wo get from the Columbus times: • tuni.tf* : i •G-ttuftO incident occurred on plant*ton of Mr. O. O. O’Neal, who lives near Catunlu Depot, on tho Co¬ lumbus and Rotno Railroad. While one of his hands was picking eotiou a few days ngo n strange bird, almost white, with a red head, dropped down, seemingly from tho clouds, into the musket into which tho negro was emp¬ tying cotton from his wallet. Tho bird was perfectly tame, and made no effort to get away. Tho negro called Mr. O’Neal's attention to it and he picked up the bird and varied it home wffh lam. For sevml days tho bird ran around tho house and seemed to bo delighted with fife children. As O’Neal started out to the field one day last week tho bird jumped up on his shoulder, and he carried it out with him, bat while ou his way the bird jumped down on the ground,ran along iu front of him a short distance, and then suddenly flow up, and continued to go up, and , up in . a short , . circle . , until it was out of sight. He haajheard noth- ing of it since. The bird was set a l>y some of the most responsible citi- x ns in that neighborhood, , , , -who , will ... ttetify to the above factes.” •&JSUr rrtm a, Io-(Iay . the iorty -sixth , Congress , in ""ton Wariitngton. Mince tint hotly ad journed from its recent extra session, there have ove hern e r cnan,es H.-.n-rr---, in in the mi p «*/• . $rmnd of both Senate an 1 House. In the former, the death of Each. Cband- let lias created a vacancy from Miclii- gan, and ex-Governor Balcl win, ofibat State, l*s been appointed, hy the Governor, in his place until tho posi- Hon can be regularly filled by tho State Legislature. Bnt he boing a Be publican, the political complexion 'iio hc>dy will not be changed at present. There is hardly any doubt, however, that Kellogg* who was so iniqnitcuSly installed by the Ben ate bf the Forty-fifth Congress ns Senator from Louisinnna despite tho notorious fact Hint he was never electee] by the legal Legislature of that State, will eventually lie ousted. When he is, his place will lie filled by a democrat, and the Senate will then stand 43 Democrats, 32 Republicans and 1 In¬ dependent— David Davis of Illinois. The changes in tlie House have been ranch greater since the cxlra session than those in the Senate. At the close of that session the House stood: 145 Democrats, 3 Independents, 127 Re¬ publican, 7 Greenback Democrats, 5 Greenback Republicans and 5 vacan- caneies. Since that time these vacan¬ cies have been filled by the election of 4 Congressmen from California—3 Republicans and one Democrat—and by the election of Waldo Hutchins, Democrat, to fill tbe vacancy in the Twelfth New York District, caused by the dentil of Alexander Smith, Repub¬ lican, who died before taking his seat. The House, therefore stands nt pi ev¬ ent, 147 Democrats and 130 Republi¬ cans, with the different representatives of tho various factions unchanged; and counting tho GreenlmekCrs as either Democrats or Republicans, the parties will be represented as follows: 154 Democrats, 135 Republicans, and thqje Independents, Messrs. Lowe, of Alabama, and Foltqti and Speer, of Georgia—a clear Detuoc?!Uic majority of 16. There arc about ten con tested cases before tbe House tee on Privileges and Elections, and those tlicsn .When wnen decided deuUt-U may muv change tho fltittw, as given above, somewhat, although at pfeSbnt it seems likely that matters will «}»K nt district, who was declared elecfefr* by the very small plurality of ninety- .am** I,., era tie opponent, Mr. McCabe, claims he cun show was counted for him un justly and through fraud. As far as we can judge from tho va¬ rious reports published in tho press throughout the country, the majority will be inclined to abstain from tink¬ ering with tho finances to any marked degree, and’ certainly to no greater degree than they can help, at this session. Mr. Hayes, in his message, has made certain recommendations regarding tho currency, which will have to be mot and discussed. In the present healthy condition of affairs, however, when business i3 prospering, specie resumtion is working nlong suc¬ cessfully, and money is quite easy—a condition of affairs for which the country is largely indebted to the eco¬ nomical reforms and wise financial legislation of tho Democracy, aided, of course, hy the balance of trade being iu our favor—it is better to “lot well enough alone,*’ and not hazard legh- latiou which, from the present stand- point, can hardly be expected to accomplish nnv mntcx'iul good, and »1l i. «*»—». Tho question of a revision of the tariff will be one of the most impor- ,t»ri»g u» ^io», I»r»ur «»b. ment, outside of those communities directly bcneiUted by protection, being decidedly iu favor of at least a consul- cable modification of the present 1 tariff. , ., y „„ The country , . has , become . very tired of being taxed as a whole, not- to benefit the government, but that every man, woman and child in the land may be forced to contribute their pro- porti6n fol . j'ue solo purpose of beue- fitiag pri vleged classes, composed of oolnp;u , ltivo , v few f6rtanale iudivi(1 .

The Board of Roads and Revenue decided to build a bridge across Lit'-le Pachltla, between Squire Maury's and John Strickland, at the old crossing, known as the Bass Ford.
