l*o* tit I Newi,
By recent postal treaties tho rates be
tween tho United States and several for
eign oountriow have been greatly reduced.
Domestic postage has been Increased vory
much in tho lust year, but such has not
boon tho ease In postal rates to foreign
countries.
Postage to Oerm&ny will hereafter l>o as
follows: Letters 5 cents, formerly 7 cents;
newspapers 3 cents, formerly 8 cents;
registration fee 8 cents, formerly 10 cents.
The new rates for Franco aro as follows;
Letters 9 cents, formerly 10 cents; letters
to Italy 5 coots, formerly 10 cents. When
mall mutter Is sunt to uuy of these coun
tries it Is optional with tho sender whether
he pay tho postago or leave it to bo col
lected at the destination of the matter.
Tho now rates to Japan via, Sail Frau
dseo, Is 6 cents for each letter; tho former
rate was 10 cents. This Is compulsory,
that Is, It must bo paid by the Bonder.
Letter postage to England ia now 5
cents, Instead of 0 cents, us formerly. Let
ters aro sent to all parts of Canada for !l
cents; Hie old prlco was G cents.
W"l*srn llj it fiie charge forregisierlug
letters Is to hit Increased to 16 cents. This
registration Is not worth what It costs.
Tho government is not thereby made re
sponsible for the safe delivery of the let
ters, and the only gain to tho sender is
that the potion why receives the letter is
obftgedlo receipt Writ, this enables the
letter to bo traced if it falls Into wrong
hands, or it is supposed to do so.
It seems strange that 10 cents Is charged
for registering a letter to go In the United
States, but only 8 cents is asked to regis
ter It for Germany and carry it away
across tho ocean.

KIND KKtfITTJoN AND FINE THRATMKNT--
A HAITIT TIME.
Yesterday morning the City Litfht
Guar(lm returned from in line
spirits. They are enthusiastic in their ac
counts of tho pioaMuroH of their visit, and
the superb treatment they received at the
hands of the Lltfht Guards.
They were accompanied on their trip by
quite a number of friends. The party en
joyed the ride up to LaGranffO very much
and arrived there safely at one o’clock
Tuesday.
They were met by the LaGrango Light
Guards and a large number of citizens.
The gallant soldiers at once escorted their
guests to their armory where they were
made to fool perfectly at homo. They
were welcomed In a short and witty
speech by Lieutenant O. A. Bull, of the
LaGrango Light Guards.
Captain Little replied In one of his hap
piest efforts in behalf of the quests, and
thanked the LaGrango company for their
proffered hospitality.
Refreshments of all kinds were then
served and the “soldier boys” enjoyed a
most social time together. After this tho
Columbus company was escorted to tho
Reed House, wht*re they wore quartered.
After a sumptuous dinner their LaGrango
friends showed them around tho city in
carriages and did all In their power to
make them acquainted with tho place and
people.
Late in the afternoon there was a dross
parade of the two companies under com
mand of Captain Little, of tho City Light
Guards; Lieutenant Brantley, of the same
company, acted as Adjutant. After tho
dress parade tho City Light Guards were
pot through a most thorough drill by
Lieutenant F. L. Brooks. They never
made a better display, and ths handsome
manner in which they performed the
manueJ and all the evolutions was com
plimented on all sides.
At night both companies attended the
annual concert of the Houthorn Female
College. ThO musicflls said to have been
vory line, esjicciallv tho singing of Hisses
Ferrell and Moore.
A beautiful Instrumental piece was per
formed which was composed by a local
musician, and dedicated to tho City Light
Guards. After the concert, everybody en
joyed a good night's rest.
Next morning tho Columbus company
was thoroughly drilled by Lieut. Brant
ley. After tho drill tho company was dis
missed, and everybody attended tho com
mencement oxereisew of the Southern Fe
male College, which are said to have been
of more than ordinary interest. Part of
the afternoon was si>ent In walking and
riding ovor the city. About six o’clock
thorowas another dress parade of both
companies, under command of (’apt. Yan
cey, of the LaGrango Light Guards, with
Lieut. Brantley, of the City Light Guards
us adjutant.
After the parade, Capt. Little made a
beautiful little speech of thanks to the La
Grange company. He assured them that,
their kindness and generosity would nev
or be forgotten. %
In behalf of the City Light Guards, he
presented tho LaGrango Light Guards
with a beautiful silver pitcher.
Capt. Yancey received the pitcher and
replied in the happiest style.
At night there was a lovee at tho college
until ten o’clock, at which all tho young
ladies of tho Institution wero present.
After tho levee there was a grand bail
given la honor of tho City Light Guards,
at tho armory of the LaGrango company.
Hero all was luippinesß and gaily. Every
thing passed off delightfully, and there
was nobody who did not regret the arrival
of one o’clock, when the line of march was
formed, and tho City Light Guards left
the happy scene with many regrets.
They were accompanied to the depot by
a larger crowd than met them. The Lu
Grange Light Guards stoutly protested
against their leaving and used every ar
gument to Induce a prolongation of their
stay. But duty called them homo and
they left pleasure to obey its mandate.
At the depot there were refreshments of
all kinds, and the hospitality of La Grange
was displayed to tho last moment. The
train came at last to the regret of all, and
soon tho City Light Guards were safe at
homo thinking of tho happinoss of the
past two days, and the kindness of the
ptxipio of La Grange.
They woro troutod royally, and they
will never forget tho visit. Everything
possible was done for their pleasure, and
everybody seemed to feel an interest in
their enjoyment. The city seemed to open
its arms for their reception. The only
thought of the La Grange Light Guards
was tho enjoyment or their guests. Every
thing that the taste could desire was pre
pared at the armory, and was kept there
in abundance during tho whole stay of the
company.
The citizens of LaGrango woro not less
cordial in their greeting and treatment of
the Columbus company thau the Light
Guards themselves. A flrra band of friend
ship now unites tho two companies, and
they will both look back with pleasure to
the past few days.
iSoveral pleasant little incidents occur
red during the time. A lieutenant of the
City Light Guards who had Imbibed very
freely at the armory was called on for a
toast. Ho replied that he would speak
with pleas ur% but for the fact that he felt
‘ too full for utterance.” Several fine
toasts were proposed by the members of
both companies. One of the company was
so completely infatuated that he failed to
return with his comrades, and it is vory
uncertain when ho will bo again seen in
thoso parts.
Tho City Light Guards cannot forget
the kind treatment they received, and they
hope for an opportunity torerurnifc. They
enjoyed a rare time in La Grange. A
mote pleasant excursion was never enjoy
ed. Nothing oceurod to mar the pleasure
of tho trip, and the only regrets express
ed were that it passed by so soon.
Long live the gallant La Grange Light
Guards and tho kind people of that city,

MuMofee Superior Court met a* the
usual hour yesterday morning, Judge

Only two coses wero tried during the
day. In tho case of John Peabody, admin
istrator of G. W. Fisher, vs. Downing Si

$398.36 and Interest for the plaintiff.
In tho ease of J. Stapler Dozier vs. R. L.

and lntorost for the plaintiff. Court then
adjouned until the usual hour this morn
ing.
The attendaneo continue# to bo small,
and there seems to lie but Ilttlo Interest
felt in the proceeding*. The end of the
civil docket will probably be soon reached.

Hester Em rich and Melissa Hays, a mis

count of tho absence of witnesses the case
was continued.
Miss Ida Terry, a swarthy damsel, was
accused of some little misdemeanor, that
indicated a mere ebullition of spirit, and,
according to tlio moral sense of the court,
it was only worth $5.
Dolph Walker and Emma Oox got into a
little mischief together, and were brought
up to answer for it. T hey answered, and
then Dolph paid $3, os ho seemed to be
more in error than his fair companion.
This was the Hvilest court of the sea

drill (hi* Afternoon.
The Columbus Guards will have a drill
on Broad street this afternoon, itt six
o'clock. A full attendance is especially
desired. The lost few drills of tho compa
ny have been siimly attended, and it is
feared that the members arc beginning to
lose some of their old interest in tho wel
fare of the company. There are quite a
number of handsome uniforms, and they
ought all to be worn this afternoon. We
have not had u good drill in a month. The
people enjoy anything of the kind very
much on those dull afternoons.
Another Invitation.
The City Light Guards, yesterday, re
ceived an invitation from tho Auburn Ca
dets to visit t hem during the approaching
commencement of the Alabama Mechani
cal College, which begins ou tho 12th of
July.
The City Light Guards enjoyed them
selves so much in LuGrango that they
would like to go on another trip. They are
fortunate in receiving so many invita
tions, and it argutss well for their popu
larity with tho companies that know
them. The invitation of tho Auburn Ca
dets was received by lieutenant F. L.
Brooks, and has not yet boon laid before
tho company. Whether they will accept
it or not Is not yet known.
Fine Appi'iirunrc.
Tho City Light Guards had thirty-four
men at LaGrango. Tho LaGrango Light
Guards hud out forty-six men. When
these two companies were under com
mand of Captain W. A. Little, at the dross
parade, they made a tine appearance and
woro complimented by many who were
familiar with tactics.
The LaGrango Light Guards is com
posed of a line set of men. They are un
usually large and well formed. Tho aver
age height of tho company is over five
feet and ten inches. LaGrango ought to
bo proud of her company; few cities can
boast a liner looking body of men.
Meut to dull.
Tom Slater, tho notorious negro thief,
who was caught in tho mealies of the law
Wednesday, was yesterday taken from the
guard-house and lodged in jail. He seems
sad and lonely there, and spends his spare
moments in imagining how much mischief
he could have done, if his career had not
bowl brought to ft sad and inglorious end.
Error.
In our report of the Superior Court pro
ceedings yesterday, the printer mode the
verdict in the Lopez case $53, instead of
$5,500, as it should have been. He only
omitted two naughts, but their absence
made quite a difference.
A üburn C oiuiuvuctrim nt.
There will probably be a party of young
ladies and gentlemen from this city in at
tendance at the coming cummenooment of
the Alabama State Agricultural and
Mechanical College at Auburn, Ala. The
exercises will certainly be interesting. We
return thanks for an invitation to be pres

A CHILD BADLY BUUNKD!
i Yesterday afternoon a little white girl,
whose parents live near the City Mills, was
vory severely burned by tho explosion of
a quantity of korosene oil in a gallon can.
The child was left at home alone, and in
! endeavoring to make a lire to cook some
bread for her dimmer, she used the kero
sene to light it. Tho flame caught the oil
and the ean exploded, making aloud noise.
The oil was thrown all over the child by
the explosion. She was instantly in flames
and rushed out of the house almost fran
tic. Homo negroes, who lived near by,
came to her rescue and saved her from a
horrible death. Her arms and breast wore
adly burned. Bhe was taken into the
house and cared for at once. She suffered
intensely, though it is thought her life is
not in danger. The force of the explosion
was great. The can was blown to pieces,
and fragments of it were thrown over the
room. The oil was thrown ovor the floor
and continued to burn for some time.
Such accidents will continue as long as
children are allowed to handle kerosene
and kindle fires with it. It was remark
able thut the child escaped so well. In
nine eases out of ten death would have
been tho consequence. Quite a crowd
gathered around the house soon after the
accident happened.
Fhunny *
The “phunniost” thing we have lately
seen In the shape of a good-sized mass of
human matter, is a very ambitious and
solemn-looking Alderman, who declares
himself in office for life; hankers after
higher honors; and wagers on the sudden
•jell of the Times from public view. As an
Alderman he has been successful (If the
making of enemies can be called success);
but we must beg to disagree with him,
and to hazard the opinion that the Times
will live long after his name has dived into
nothingness; and to thank him for using
fils Influence (?) against us - for there is no
telling how much good that influence!?)
has done us. Continue to exercise it for
our benefit, will you; and do not, under
any circumstances, allow yourself to
cease your troubled work— for you might,
by hard work, lose us one subscriber.
There are an umber of first-rate gentlemen
composing our Aldernmnic Board men of
enterprise and broad ideas, who are too
much wedded to the good of Columbus
and to all her enterprises to countenance
among them a perpetual “whiner” against
a young enterprise like ours, simply be
cause wo do not render him homage as
the greatest living wonder of the age. If
he wiU quit “whining,” we will say he is
a living wonder, and the greatest living
wonder of hi* kind, that we have ever had
the misfortune to meet.

Tickets will be sold to Opelika and re

have been made of the railroad authorities
as to this point.
The excursion tickets from Opelika to

thus making the cost of the whole trip lit

It Is probable that a large number of

Yesterday the alarm struck once and
everybody waited for its next p?al to rush

Tho demand for Dr. J. Brad field’s Fe
male Regulator is beyond precedent in
the annate of popular remedies. Orders
come in so thick and fast that the Propri
etor has, heretofore been unable to fill
them all. He is happy to state that ar
rangements are now complete by which
he is prepared to manufacture Female
Regulator on a scale equal to the emer
gency, and tho public may feel assured
that their wants may now be supplied.
Physicians of high repute are using this
great remedy, in daily practice, all over
j Georgia. Hereafter no woman need euf-

i Gentlemen—You will please ship us an
• other supply of your invaluable Female
Regulator, and forward bill by mail. We
are happy to state that this remedy gives
better satisfaction than any article we
sell. We have been selling 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 twenty-six years old, when
sho 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 the 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 todi
j rections. It has cured her sound and
well, brought her regular monthly peri
ods on, and to-day sho is a hearty, bloom
ing widow—with the use of but two bot
tle© of your Regulator, costing her only
i 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
dies, we are, respectfully yours, etc.,

THE SUN.
DAILY AND WEEKLY TOE 1875.
Tiu) ippruadi of tlio Presidential flection gives
unusual importance to the events and develop
ments of 1875. We shall endeavor to describe
them fuller, faithfully and fearlessly.
THE WEEKLY HUN has now attained a circula
tion of over eighty thousand copies. Its rusdors
are found lu every State and Territory, and Its
quality is well known to the public. Wo shall
not only endeavor to keep It fully up to the old
standard, but to Improve and add to its variety
and power.
THE WEEKLY HUN will continue to be a thor
ough newspaper. All the news of the day will be
found in it, condensed when unimportant, at
full length when of moment, and always, we
trust, treated in a clear, interesting and instruct
ive manner.
It Is our aim to make the Weekly Hun 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 most
scrupulous and delicate taste. It will always
contain the most interesting stones and ro
mances of the day, carefully selected and legibly
printed.
The Agricultural Department is s prominent
feature in the Weekly Sun, and its articles Will
always be found fresh and useful to the farmer.
The number of men independent iu politics is
increasing, and the Weekly Hun is their paper
especially. It belongs to no party, and obeys no
dictation, contending for principle, and tor the
election of the best men. It exposes the corrup
tion that disgraces the country and threatens the
overthrow of republican institution*. It has no
fear of knaves, and seeks no favors from their
supporters.
Hie markets of every kind aud the fashions
are regularly reported.
The price of the WEEKLY HUN is one dollar a
year lor a sheet of eight pages, and fifty-six col
umns. As this barely pays tho expenses of juipor
and 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, U 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 and twenty
cents will get the paper, postpaid for one year.
Wc have no traveling agents.
THE WEEKLY SUN—Eight pages. 56 c

AITLETOXS’
American Cyclopaedia,
New Revised Edition.
I Eutircly rewritten by the ablest writers on eti-gr
subject. Printed from new type, and illus
trated with Several Thousand Engravings
and Mapsf
The work originally published under the title
!of Thk Ntw Amjcjucam Cyclopauua was com
pleted in IHU3, since which time the wide circula
tion which it has attained in 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 aud
publishers to submit it to an -xoct and thorough
revision, and to issue a uew edition entitled Thk
Amkuk an Ctclopjcdia.
Within the last ton years the progress of dis
covery iu every department of knowledge has
mode anew work of reference an imperative
want.
The movement of political affairs has kept pace
with the discoveries of science, aud their trultfu
application to the industrial and useful arts and
the convenience aud refinement of social life.
Great wars and consequent revolutions have oc
curred, involving national changes of peculiar
moment. Tho civil war 6f our own country,
which was at its height when the last volume t>l
the old work appeared, has happily been ended,
and a uew course of commercial and industrial
activity has been commenced.
Large accessions to our geographical kuowl
edge have been made by the indefatigable ex
plorers of Africa.
The great political revolutions of the last de
cade, w ith the natural result of the lapse of time,
have brought into public view a multitude of new
men, whose names are in every one’s mouth, aud
of whose lives cvjry one is curious to know the
particulars. Great battles have been fought and
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.
In preparing the present edition for the press,
it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to
bring down the information to the latest possi
ble dates, and to furnish au accurate account of
the most recent discoveries iu science, of every
fresh production in literature, aud of the newest
inventions iu the practical arts, as well as to give
a succinct and origiual record of the progress of
political aud historical events.
The work has been begun after long aud care
ful preliminary labor, and with the most ample
resources fur carrying it on to a successful term
ination.
None of the origiual stereotype plates have
been used, but every page has been printed ou
new typo, forming iu fact a now Cyclopedia, with
the same plan aud compass as its predecessor,
but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure,
and with such improvements in its composition
I as have been suggested by longer experience and
j enlarged knowledge.
The illustrations which aro introduced for the
1 first time in the present ed.i .on have been added
i not for the sake of ptetoriu. . ffect. but to give
i greater lucidity aud force t tlio explanations iu
i the text. They embrace all branches of science
and of natural history, aud depict the most
famous aud remarkable features of scenery, j
architecture aud art. as wall as the various pro
cesses of mechanics and manufactures.
Although intended for instruction rather than
embehahmeut. no pains have been spared to in
sure their artistic excellence; the cost of their
execution is enormous, aud 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
iu sixteen large octavo volumes, each containing
about 800 pages, fully illustrated with several
thousand Wood Engravings, aud with numerous
colored Lithographic Maps.
