LOCAL BRIEFS.
—Democratic babies aro being pro
duced in Columbus by the platoon.
—What is tho difference between an
overcoat and a baby ? One is what you
wear, and the other is what you was.
—No real estate transfers have been re
corded iu the last two weeks. So officers
report.
—Lovers of the juicy bivalves rejoice
that next month has an “r” in it.
—The river is very low, and navigation
is exceedingly difficult between this point
and Enfaula. Tho New Jackson left yes
terday. Tho Farley will doubtless be at
tho wharf this morning.
—The latest dodge of the chiropodists
is to exhibit a small boy, and announce
that ho has been successfully removed
from a corn.
—Fellowcraft, who beat Lexington's
celebrated four mile tirao by a quarter of
a second, was more heavily weighted than
the latter.
—Curs, of high and low degree, are
perfectly indifferent as regards the dog
ordinance, and look with contempt upon
the canine that sports a badge.
—A gentleman and his wife visited a
soda fountain. He wanted “crusade" in
“hison.” To his horror, his wife said she
would take the samo. The clerk knew
his business. The lady winced under the
torture of hot ginger and tho husband was
saved. We won’t mention names.
—A farmor who has seventy-two bales
of cotton in an adjoiniug oounty has ex
tended not a largo note that was due.
—A German being asked how much
sauor kraut ho had put up for wiuter use,
replied : “Ise not got much—leetle more
as ten barrels—shust for sickness.”
—Tho following on an eight-year-old
Columbus boy is not bad : “My son,”
said tho parent, who is not possessed of
tho chastest morals, “I believe the devil
has got hold of you." “I believe so, too,”
blubbered the boy.
No Need for Gloom.
Reports of caterpillars and drought,oome
from every quarter, but we beard about
the same last fall. The cry then was wet
weather and caterpillars wore destroying
the cotton crop, yet Columbus now lacks
ouly 16 bales of receiving 61,000. Sub
stitute drought for rain, and wo have the
complaints so glibly rondered last year
at this time. True, iu our immediate
county aud Russell tbo boll worm has ap
peared. This destroyer visited tho Ala
bama counties last season. The country
generally is better off than then, for corn
and food crops ore much more abundant,
and tho advances have not been as heavy.
Peoplo, too, have lived closer than ever
before, and lauds huvo been better culti
vated. As soon as tho heated term wears
off, the business men will become more
cheerful, and when work fairly begins the
merchants and farmers will have no time
to grumble over apprehended troubles.
That disasters have befallen tho crop is
true, but they do not begin to approach
the ruin which tho reports caused by the
present imetivity and idleness would havo
u« believe. We anticipate a fair business
for the fall aud wiuter, aud see no reason
as yet to ebango our opinion. It is yet
too early to calculuto with any degree of
probability the extent of the crop.
The Largest City in the World.
A bet arose on this subject Friday night.
London seemed to be the general opinion.
The geography of tho late Comomdore
Maury was consulted. That excellent
authority, published iu 1873, puts down
London aud its surburbs as having a pop.
ulation of 3,500,000 souls.
No other one city approaches. In look
ing through tho chapters on China this
paragraph was found:
“There are three cites in China on tile
Yangtse-kiang, so connected with each
other that they may be said to form one
city, under the name of Hoang-ehou or
Hotilcow, with a population of 8,000,000,
largaat known oollaotion of human
Steamer New Jackson Sunk. 1
The steamer New Jit-kson lift ('oluin-
bus yesterd »y morning, at 8 o'clock, with
a good freight. The river is very low, and
she worked her way slowly and carefully,
several times striking the sand bars. She
reached Woolfolk’s about one o’clock.
Here boats havo to run close in shore to
make the point. Mr. Bryant, n careful
and skillful pilot, was at tho wheel.
Though great caution was exercised, the
steamer struck tho bar, and a log nearly
buried in the sand stove a h >lo iu the hull,
and the boat sunk in twenty-two inches of
water. No freight was damaged,‘as all in
the hold was removed to the deck. The
boat is lying on the bottom of the river,
but the upper deok is several feet from
the water. She can he easily raised—the
work will probably be done to-day—and
she will be brought back to the city,
where, it is said, she can be made all right
in a few duys.
The St-. Clair went dowu last night to
her assistance, and taking ou tho cargo
will prooeed on dowu the river. Boats
can pass by the Jackson.
The Farley will tow the Jackson up to
day, probably.
Rate Ball at Geneva—Butler Win*.
A dispatch from Geneva thus roads:
“A match game of base ball played here
to-day between the Wide Awakos of Ge
neva and the Red Stars of Butler, resulted
in a score of 20 for the latter to 17 for
the former. On the ninth innings of the
Wide Awakes, the score was even with
the Rod Stars. The latter had the last
iunings, made three runs aud thus tri
umphed. The game was very close."
Thanks to operator G. W. Rowland for
the information. *
Enquirer-Sun Business Ofllrc.
All persons are reminded that tho busi
ness office has uot been removed from
Randolph street, and parties must go
there for papers and purely business mat
ters. Advertisements at night are receiv
ed at the composing rooms, over tho
Arbor Saloon.
Caterpillars and Boll Wovm.
Col. Ed. T. Shepherd exhibited at the
office, yesterday, cotton which was well
covered with caterpillars, who were going
at a rapid rate for tbo leaves and buds.
Ho stated they woro not of sufficient num
bers to do much damage now, but he fear
ed the third crop, which he expected week
after next. Ho reported that the caterpil
lars existed on all the river plantations
from which he had heard.
The Colonel also showed young bolls,
which had been puucturod by tho boll
worm. This destroyer attacks ouly the
tender bolls. Ho cunuot handle those
which havo hardened n little.
Rain.
A slight shower fell last afternoon. Did
not amount to much.
About dark the clouds thickened, and a
heavy rain fell for an hour or more, aud
continued dripping the greater portion of
the night. The showers appeared to bo
general, and it is hoped they havo extend
ed southwards, so as to include Chatta-
boooliee county, where rain is greatly
needed.
Good Proverb.
Dr. Charles Estes, formerly of Colum
bus, gets off this proverb in Eufaula,
where he now is :
“A fool plucketh a fly from tho hind
leg of a mule ; a wise man giveth tho job
to another."
Death in Chattahoochee County,
Ou yesterday, iu Chattahooohoo county,
after a brief illness, died Mrs. Curry,
wife of Simpson Curry. Her age was
some seventy-five yoarH. For some time
her intellect had boon affected by old age.

Prominent Incidents
History of Columbus
From its First iSetilerncnt in 1827, to the
Wilson fluid, in 1805, compiled by John
II. Martin.
The undersigned proposes to publish, in a
volume, of 150 or more pages, a work under
the above title, covering the period from the
selection of the locality for a “ trading town,**
in 1827, to the capture and partial destruction
of the citg by the Wilson Raid, in 1865,
The incidents will he derived mainly from its
newspapers, which will be planed for this
purpose with much care. Ii is believed that
most of our citizens would like to have such
incidents in this compact and convenient form,
and will encourage the undertaking to the
extent of the small 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, tire., now
existing.
We do not propose to publish this compila-
lion with a view to making money, as the
small price asked for it will show. Rut at
the same time we do not want to lose money
by its publication, and therefore we wish to
limit 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 small
number of copies will also be issued on a su
perior article of paper for $1 30 per copy.
Payable when the work is delivered, which
will bo some time next Fall.
