Meoda I eat craning we were told how it

Si&tinwU friend, Angneiua Perry, Eaq ,
a Merchant of ooneiderable protuinenoe.
The morning after the errital of hie

In paaaing the White Houae, Perry
poeely remarked:

Dea’corering the roadway of H, from
Ihteenth atreat to Vermont arenue,
mad hie horaee and again drore down
aranao. Aa they were nearing the
■oaident'e, Toomba aaid:
[“Perry, if I ware to go to a foreign
iuiitry I'd anraly, if practicable, pay my
iota to the potentate of that ooun-
’'“Why not, then, go to ace your Preei-
Jeatr
The order waa giraa, and the horaee
f were coon reined in front of tbeExeou-
" tire Mansion. Alighting, they went in-
up the long flight of atepe and into the
room where ao much weary, heart-weary,
ing, aoul-killing, pationt-waiting ia done
—where they found the uaual
crowd, eome on idle buainaae, aoma
on maltera pertaining to life and death.
There wdb a Bad-faced woman come here
for tha pardon of her eon, oonrioted of
forgery and sent to the Albany peniten
tiary—with her is the grand-father of the
erring man, who striras in erery way
kuown to hia rough nature to soothe the
distressed mother. The cards of Mr.
Perry and Oeneral Toomba are taken in,
but the fear expressed that hia Excellency
could aeo no one until after 1 o’clock.
Scarcely a moment bad elapsed when the
messenger returned and exited:
“The President will see Gen. Toombs
and Mr. Forty.”
On entering the room Gen. Grant rose
to receive them and Gen. Toomba aaid:
“I am not a citizen of this country,
Gen. Grant, but being in town X have
oalled to pay my respects to you as the
ruler of thia nation.”
“Oh, never mind about that, Gen.
Toombs," answered Grant, “ait down. I
am glad to ace you at last, for I bunted
very unsuccessfully after you during the
war.”
The interview lasted nearly two hours,
and was characterised by the greatest jol
lity imaginable. At Sue time the conver
sation turned on cotton,and Gen. Toomba
waa amazed to find the President knew
almost as much on that aubject aa he did.
Gan. Grant baa been uniformly kind to
all Southern people who have aonght fa
vors at hia bands, and among the people
of that desirable oountry be has many
warm, ataunoh friends.
awmksppsts by the Million.
From the Owatonaa (Minn.) Journal.]
Mr. I, Wood, of Medford, has traveled
through a part of tbe oountry infested
with grasshoppers, and aays the want and
daHintinn are not exaggerated. In some
sections the growing crops are entirely
destroyed, and the. number of these in
sects dan only be counted by millions,
whiU ovary day adds tons of thouaanda
mom. He thinks tbe prospect ia deci
dedly dark for the people of those coun
ties. In Window the streets are so full
that one oannot atop without covering
flfty, and tbe people are forced to dose
thtir houses to keep them out. Every
speoiea of growing crop ia aubjeot to their
ravagea. Not only farmers but business
men are alike suffering from the result of
their depredations, ana a great many are
taking advantage of the provisions of Mr.
Donnell's bill allowing them to leave their
homesteads without forfeiting them, and
are going to other parts of the State for
work.

Prominent Incidents
IN THE V
History of Columbus
From its First Settlement in 1827, to the
Wilton Raid, in X86S, compiled by John
M. Martin.
The undersigned propotet to publieh, in a
volume of 150 or mere payee, a work under
the above title, covering the period from the
tcUction tf the locality for a “ trading town,"
in 1827, to the capture and partial destruction
of. the city by the Wilson Ilaid, in 18G5.
The incidents uri/l be derived mainly from its
newspapers, which will be gleaned for this
purpose with much care. It is bslieved that
most rtf our citizens would like to have such
incidents in this compact and convenient form,
and will encourage the undertaking to the
extent tf the email amount asked for the work
Each chapter will contain short biographi
cal sketches or notices of the principal citizens
mentioned in it, who have since died. The
volume will also embrace full information
concerning the churches, factories, cbe., now
existing.
We do not propose to publish this compila
tion with a view to making money, as the
email price asked for it will ehow. But at
the same time we do not want to lt.se money
by ill publication, and therefore we wish to
iimit the number of copies printed to the de
mand for the work. With this object in view,
we issue this prospectus, inviting those who
desire copies of the volume to send in their
names.
The price will be one dollar per copy for
a pamphlet bound volume, printed on paper
like the specimen sheet issued. A email
number of copies will also be issued on a su
perior article of paper for $1 30 per copy.
Payable when the work is dslivered, which
will be some time next Fall.

THE
COLUMBUS ENQUIRER-SUN
Is the only thoroughly independent paper South. It believes
we are to win; not by complaining about the past, but
working for the future. While it gives proper space and
notice to all political matters of State and National impor
tance, it aims to call the attention of emigrants and capital
ists to our great resources and to build up the South on a
basis that has for its foundation industry and economy.
While disclaiming to be the organ of any creed, party or
society, all its tendencies will be in favor of TEMPER
ANCE, MORALITY and RELIGION. Being deeply
interested in the success of the farmers, and having implicit
faith in the grand destiny of the GRANGES, the EN
QUIRER-SUN will devote a large space, under Z capable
editor, to AGRICULTURE, and in chronicling the move
ments of the Patrons of Husbandry.
THE DAILY ENQUIRER-SUN
Will contain all the latest National, State, Local and For
eign news, devoting much space to Alabama interests. Its'
editorial management will be fearless for right, and while
recording passing events it will not neglect the arts, sci
ences ana the advancement in the world’s material progress.
THE WEEKLY ENQUIRER
Will give weekly a digest of all Foreign and Nation d
neWs. It will devote much space to Southern intellige: e
and will contain original articles on Agriculture,the Grim; s
and other matters that will be of incalculable benefit to vtfe
planter and general reader.
The SUNDAY ENQUIRER-SUN
While giving the latest news, aims to bscome what is
much needed, viz.:
A GREAT SOUTHERN LITERARY WEEKLY ,! .
It will contain original articles, storms and sketches, his
torical and biographical, from Southern pens. Each issue
will contain in addition poetry, scientific notes, domestic
recipes, fashion and household affairs, Wit and humor, j\6-
tices of late books and periodicals, religious reading, church
news, and in fact every interest will be represented that
will, in any way, aid the reader.
