Coluraliu. Uiun'd.’ Pic NIC.
Tho second moonlight picnic of the soa
son, given by tho Columbus Guards,
came off last night at Villa Belch.
Tho night was not as favorable os It
might have boon. Tho moon did not do
herself justice. The ball room was well
ventilated and thus made very pleasant.
It was the scene of most of the festivity.
Dancing was in order thore from about
eight o'clock until after midnight. Music
for tho occasion was furnished by Willis
Carter’s string bund. Tho floor managers
did their duty well. They preserved the
best order, and we have never seen a bet
tor conducted uffulr than tho picnic of lost
evening.
Tho grand organ which is owned by Mr.
Belch, and which is a masterpiece of me
chanical genius, was put into operation
for the bonollt of those who had tho curi
osity to hour It. It plays well since it has
been repaired.
There was a large number of spectators
who did not participate in the general en
joyment of the evening, but found a quiet
pleasure in looking on at tho merry throng.
Tho Garden was chosen by a large num
ber of couples for promenading. It was In
lino order. There are a number of rustic
scats arranged in different parts of it, and
these wore almost constantly occupiod.
Many pleasant little Incidents occurred
during tho evening. There was nothing
to mar or interrupt the pleasure of those
who attended. “Lager beer for the health"
was not an unpopular beverage. It was
served to all who desired it on little tables
in tho ante-rooms.
Tho attendance was not very largo.
The room was very pleasantly filled, how
ever, and the enjoyment was much greater
on this account. There was no rush or
jam.
Tho children had the ball room all to
themselves in tho afternoon. Several
members of tho company wont down to
see thut they enjoyed themselves. The
little ones wore happy, as usual, and their
festivity lasted from throe o'clock until
dark. Au opportunity was thus afforded
for tho pleasure of all ages.
There were quite u number of the Colum
bus Guards and City Light Guards on tho
Moor in uniform last night.
A little after twelve o’clock the festivity
coased and everybody went home happy.
We congratulate the Guards upon the
success of their entertainment, and hope
that they may be rewarded for their ef
forts to give pleasure to others by an
abundant harvostof thq omnipotent green
hacks.

Yesterday the darkies of the Methodist
and Baptist denominations had a grand
union pic-nic in tho grove near tho res
idence of Mrs. Hines Holt, in Wynnton.
They formed into a procession and march
ed through the city. The line was about
four squares long, and contained every
species of the dusky genus.
After parading through various parts of
the city, they proceeded to the festive
grounds, headed and directed by two or
throe individuals of the dominant com
plexion, who were mounted on richly
oapansonod stoeds and adorned with boau
tiful sashes of pink, yellow and blue. The
groves of Wynnton were full of tho happy
amendments all day. Gamos and sports
of various kinds made the hours pass
pleasantly. There was the largest gener
al collection of darkies that has been
in this vicinity for some time. A notice
able scarcity of tbo colored race in the
city, plainly showed that something of
extraordinary interest was going on.
Broad street was free of them, and it was
hard to find one for an odd job or errand.
The pic-nic of yesterday is said to have
been immensely enjoyed.
The darkies came back late in the after
noon looking a little hot and weary, but
none the less happy on this account. For
a scene of unalloyed pleasure we know of
nothing to equal a colored pic-nic. A
darkey is as near heaven as tho laws of
gravitation will allow him, ou these occa
sions, though he may rise a little higher
when you start him on a “scursion."

•*en*on of Joy.
The advance guard of tho blackberry
brigade made its appearance on our streets
yesterday, and infested our market house.
Despite the fact that blackberry sellers
are the greatest and most indestructible
of nuisances, except pine peddlers, most
of housekeepers are rather glad to see the
luscious fruit coming in. There is great
joy among the colored troops. There will
soon bo berries enough and work enough
for all.
The first berries of the season taste well,
but when we consider the prospect of hav

inallstyles, we are not so glad to see
them after nil.

The demand for Dr. J. Bradlleld’s Fe
male Regulator is beyond precedent in
the a*nnals of popular remedies. Orders
come in so thick and fast that the Propri
etor has, heretofore been unable to till
them all. He is happy to state that ar
rangements are now corapieto by which
ho is prepared to manufacture Female
Regulator on a scale equal to the emer
gency, and the public may feel assured
that their wants may now be supplied.
Physicians of high repute arc using this
great remedy, in daily practice, all over
Georgia. Hereafter no woman need suf
fer from suppress<*d, sus}H*nded or irreg
ular menstruation. This valuable medi
cine is prepared by L. H. Bradlield, Drug
gist. Atlanta, Ga., and sold at $1.50 per
bottle by druggists throughout America.
HEARTY, BLOOMING WIDOW.
Marietta, Ga., March 9,1870.
Messrs. Bradfield A G).:
Gentlemen—You will please ship us an
other supply of your invaluable Female
Regulator, and forward Gill by mail. We
are happy to state that this remedy gives
better satisfaction than any article we
sell. We have been sidling' it since 1868,
and witnessed many remarkable cures by
it. Among others, there was a lady
friend of ours who was sallow and sickly
until she was twentv-six years old, when
she was married. Her husband lived two
years and died. She continued in bad
health; in fact, she has never been what
a woman ought to be. A few months
after tho death of her husband she saw
your advertisement, and came to our
store and bought a bottle of your Regula
tor from us, and took it according to di
rections. It has cured her sound and
well, brought her regular monthly peri
ods on, and Uwday she is a hearty, bloom
ing widow—with the use of but two bot
tles of your Regulator, costing her only
three dollars, when she had tried several
physicians and spent a great deal of
money without any benefit. Wishing you
great success with your valuable reme
ies, we are, respectfully yours, etc.,

Strawberries come In fast from all quar

There Is almost a picnic for every day
this week, and still some people arc not
happy.
Flour is still going down a little, and It
may reach an old fashioned price again
after awhile.
Justice courts are dull now. Petit com
plaints and disagreements seem to be
dying out.
Tho spelling bee sensation seems to
have died completely, and we will have to
wait for another sensation.
Hot sun, ripe berries, swarming flics,
straw hats arid thin undershirts all attest
the solemn fact that summer lias come.
One of the most pleasant affairs of the
season will be tho Baptist pic-nic at Kings

The Superior Court of Muscogee county
never met in such convenient and hand
some apartments as those which it now
occupies.
There is said to boa period in every
boy’s life when ho would rather be a ring

The Lee Light Infantry, of Opelika, is a
handsome body of men. They will have
their uniforms soon, and, perhaps, they
maybe induced to pay a visit to Colum
bus. The young men that compose this
company are full of the true spirit and are
determined‘to make it a success.
Male and female fashions are fast assim
ilating. The girls now wear scarfs exact
ly like the boys, and the latter complain
that they cannot got, any choice articles of
this kind, as they are invariably picked
over on arrival by tho anxious fair ones.
Another grand shooting match between
America and Ireland will soon take place.
At the one held last year at Creedmoor
the American team wus successful, mak

Americans use the breech-loaders and the
Irish the old muzzle-loaders in these con
tests.

The Sunday school of the First Bap

Saturday, and their excursion will be
pleasant and complete in every particular.
The grounds chosen for the pic nlc are
fine, and on them there is the best well of
water in t his section of tho country.
Flying horses, swings, Ac. will be ar
ranged for the children. Croquet ifnd
other games will be nicely prepared on
the grounds.
The excursion will leave the Oglethorpe
street depot early in the morning, and re
turn in tho afternoon. A delightful day
will be spent in tho country. The ladies
of the church have made ample prepara

pic nie of Saturday will be a rare success.

THE SI N.
! DAILY AND WEEKLY FOE 1875.
The approach of the Presidential election gives
unusual importance to the events and develop
ments of 1875. We shall endeavor to describe
them fully, faithfully aud fearlessly.
THE WEEKLY SUN has now attained a circula
tion of over eighty thousand copies. Its readers
are found iu every State aud Territory, aud its
quality is well known to the public. We shall
not only endeavor to keep it fully up to the old
standard, but to improve and add to its variety
and power.
TIIE WEEKLY SUN will continue to be a thor-
I ough newspaper. All the news of the day will be
found in it, condensed when unimportant, at
full length when of moment, aud always, we
trust, treated iu a clear, interesting and instruct
ive manner.
It is our aim to make the Weekly Sun the best
family newspaper in the world. It will be full of
entertaining and appropriate, reading of every
sort, but will print nothing to offend the roost
scrupulous and delicate taste. It will always
contain the most interesting stories and ro
mances of the day, carefully selected aud legibly
printed.
The Agricultural Department is a prominent
feature in the Weekly Bun, and its articles Will
always be found fresh and useful to tho farmer.
The number of men independent in politics is
increasing, and the Weekly Sun is their paper
especially. It belongs to no party, and obeys no
dictation, contending for principle, and lor the
election of the best men. It exposes the corrup
tion that disgraces the country aud threatens the
overthrow of republican institutions. It has no
fear of knaves, and seeks no favors from their
supporters.
The markets of every kind and the fashions
are regularly reported.
The price ef the WEEKLY SUN is one dollar a
year for a sheet of eight pages, and fifty-six col
umns. As this barely pays the expenses of paper
aud printing, we are not able to make any dis
count or allow any premium to friends who may
make special efforts to extend its circulation.
Under the new law, which requires payment of
postage in advance, one dollar a year, with twenty
cents the cost of prepaid postage added, is the
rate of subscription. It is not necessary to get
up a club in order to have the Weekly Sun at this
rate. Any one who sends one dollar aud twenty
cents will get the paper, postpaid for one year.
We have no traveling agents.
THE WEEKLY SUN—Eight pages, 56 columns.
Only $1.20 a year, postage prepaid. No discount
from this rate.
THE DAILY SUN—A large four-jiage newspaper
of twenty-eight columns. Daily circulation over
120,000. All the news for 2 cents. Subscription,
postage prepaid, 55 cents a month, or $6.50 a
year. To clubs of 10 or over, a discount of 20
percent. Address

APPLETONS’
American Cyclopaedia.
New Revised Edition.
Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on every
subject. Printed from new type, aul illus
trated with Several Thousand Engraving*
and Maps.
The work originally published under tho title
of The New Americas CyclopJEDXa was com
pleted iu 1863, since which time the wide circula
tion which it has attained iu all parts of the
United States, and the signal developments which
have taken place iu every branch of science, lit
erature aud art. have induced the editors and
publishers to submit it to au exact and thorough
revision, aud to issue anew edition entitled The
American Cyclopaedia.
Within tho last ten years the progress of dis
covery in every department of knowledge has
made anew work of reference an imperative
want.
Tho movement of political affairs has kept pace
with the discoveries of Bcicnce, aud their iruitful
application to the industrial and uselul arts and
the convenience and refinement of social life.
Great wars and consequent revolutions have oc
curred, involving national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil war of our own country,
which was at its height when the last volume nl
the old work appeared, has happily been ended,
and anew course of commercial aud industrial
activity lias been commenced.
l.arge accessions to our geographical knowl
edge have been made by the indefatigable ex
plorers of Africa.
The great political revolutions of the last de
cade, with the natural result of the lapse oi time,
have brought into public view a multitude of new
men, whose names are in every one’s mouth, aud
of whose lives every one is curious to know the
particulars. Great battles have been fought und
important sieges maintained, of which the de
tails are as yet preserved only in the newspapers
or in the transient publications of the day, but
which ought now to take their place iu perma
nent and authentic history.
Iu preparing the present edition for the press,
it has accordingly been the aim ot the editors to
bring down the information to the latest possi
ble dates, aud to furnish au accurate account of
tho most recent discoveries in science, of every
fresh production in literature, aud of the newest
inventions iu the practical arts, as well as to give
a succinct and original record of the progress of
political aud historical events.
The work has been begun alter long and care
ful preliminary labor, and with the most ample
resources for carrying it on to a successful term
ination.
None of the original stereotype plates have
been used, but every page has been printed on
new type, forming iu fact anew Cyclopedia, with
the same plan and compass as its predecessor,
but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure,
aud with such improvements in its composition
as have been suggested by longer experience and
enlarged knowledge.
The illustrations which aro introduced for the
first time in the prescut edition have been added
not for the Make of pictorial effect, but to give
greater lucidity aud force to the explanations iu
the text. They embrace all branches of science
and of natural history, and depict the most
famous and remarkable features of scenery,
architecture and art, as well as the various pro
cesses of mechanics aud manufactures.
Although intended for instruction rather than
embelishmeut. no pains have been spared to in
sure their artistic excellence; the cost ol their
execution is enormous, and it is believed they
will find a welcome reception as an admirable
feature of the Cyclopaedia, and worthy of its
high character.
This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable
on delivery of each volume. It will be completed
in sixteen large octavo volumes, each containing
about 800 pages, fully illustrated with several
thousand Wood Engravings, aud with numerous
colored lithographic Maps.
