completed in five years, at an annual
expenditure of 8200,000. Three com-
missioners are to be elected by the Leg.
islature to superintend the woik and
make the contracts. The building is
to be of brick, granite or marble, and
Georgia material is to be used
far as posible. The site for the build-
ing is the city hall park, and the work
is to commence immediately after the
passage of the bill. The commission-
ers will be under oath and bond, and
will each receive an annual salary of
81,000.

A New Temperance Bill.
A uew temperance bill lias been in-
troduC.d in the Georgia Legislature
which is quite diffurent from any here¬
tofore offered. The following is a
syuoi>sis of the bill, taken from the
Macon Telegraph :
‘.The bill provides that after present
licen» s cxjiire it shall be unlawful for
tiny jterenn to soil, barter or furnish,
either directly or indirectly, any spir¬
ituous or intoxicating liquors or driuk,
or any nnd.cated alchoholio bitters of
auy kind, or any liquor of w hich epir—
ituous liquor is a material or constitn-
unt J> irt, outside tho limits of auy in¬
corporated town or city, except upon
tho writen application to tho ordinary
of two thiida of the free-hold> rs who
reside outside of such cities or towns,
and within three miles of the place ut
which it is proposed to open a saloon.
The second section of the act provides
that ill incorporated towns an election
may be held when one-fourth of the
voters so jietition, at which whisky
may be voted out, and such a vote shall
debar any person from issuing license
in such towns ns poll a majority of
votes against whisky. The fifth sec¬
tion providi s that the law shall not
operate lo can e a new ehetion iu
those places which have already voted
whisky out, or where tlie sale of whis¬
ky is prevented by special legislation.
It is thought the bill will pass. It
seems to suit the couutry people, and
it leaves the towns and cities free to
regulate the matter for them selves.”
Mr. John Murphy, rout agent on
the B. & A. Railroad, is joeifecting an
invention to keep passengers cool with
the doors and windows of the car all
closed, thus excluding the dust and
smoke so unpleasant in traveling. The
Berrien County News gives this des"
criptiou of it;
•This machine is simply a fan on the
inside of the coach, which is made to
revolve by means of a wind-mill on
top. It matters not which way the
wind blows, the rapid moving of the
j cars will cause sufficient pressure ou
| the mill to make it move at n rapid
; rate of speed. The fan on the inside
puts the air in motiou and the result
j is quite satisfactory to the passeugers.
This invention might be made profita-
ble to those shipping fruit and ot her
articles that should be kept as cool as
possible,
Secretary Windom is hinted at as
the next probable competitor With
Biaine for the Presidential chair. He
,
has his own p’ans, has managed to keep
! the penes with the Stalwarts, and, it is
said will not permit the patronage of
the Treasury to be used in settlement
of ‘Blaine's’ and Garfield’s contracts.

The Jestip Sentinel has the follow:
An engineer op the Macon 'mid Bruns-
railroad, approaching a wood rack
where he hud to stop, noticed an ox
running after the train. Stopping to
take on wood the ox came up to the ten¬
der and remained standing very close
thereto. The engineer said to the fire¬
man, “1 guess that o.% wants water;
give him some out of the tank.” The
fireman being afraid of him, theengin-
eer drew from the tank a bucket full,
aud the ox eagerly gulped it down,

Two Macon drummers as stated by
one from Savannah,played a joke upon
a northern traveler iu Fort Gaines a
few days since, which came m ar li iv-
ing a serious termination. It seems
the stranger had been boasting of his
prowess considerably, aud the plot was
laid with the intention only of ‘taking
him down.’ The Savannah man took
him out for a walkou tho ‘bluff,’ when
they were met by the Other two who
ordered them to halt. Whispering
‘mu,’ the Savannah mau struck out
like 11 deer followed by the now thor-
ougly frightened man of prowess. The
Macon men fired over them and by
agreement the Savannah boy threw up
his arms, shrieked and fell. The oth¬
er, however streaked it for town, close¬
ly pursued. Daskrng down the street
he spied a church open aud rushed
straight up the aisle- With the ex¬
, clamation ‘they cannct kill me here
on Ins lips he fell to the floor and went
into a kind of fit, vomiting and pur¬
ging until it seemed as though he
would die. It was a long time before
the doctors got him straight. It is
said that had the strain been kept up
a hundred yards further nothing could
have saved him. Three drummers are
now wanted in Fort Gaines. One
ts from Savnnah and the others Ma-
con. — Telegraph and Measenqer.
Says the Savannah Aries: ‘Tbe
