There Is a floating rumor upon the
streets that everybody that served us ju

quested to refund tho money thoy drew
from tho county, now tlmt. tho entire
court was Illegal. It Is only a rumor, but
If we wore a juryman wo would not pay
back accent, as it was not their fault. Tho
fault Hess with somebody, but not with the
jury. They as upright citizens did their
duty, and there Is no law to require them
to disgorge the “back salary grab.” The
thousands of dollars that this burdened
tax payers of Muscogee county havo lost,
must not be expected back from tho Jurors.
Stand up for-your rights, Jurymen, and

Hot, Hotter, Ifotteat.
Everybody that was in Columbus yes
terday afternoon know oxoctly how hot it
was hero after dinner, hut as a consolation
to those at a distance, and to those who
havo left for the Springs, wo will remark
It was never warmer in this latitude. In
fact It was so very warm that tho ambi
tion of some men wo know, wilted like a
cabbage lea, in the sunshine. The "fun
gus growth" upon tho unpopularity of
things kinder looked hollow and lean, and
yet It was so (lot an egg would have
"biied" hard If set in a bucket of water.
Aim stroke.
Yesterday evening, in tho Northern Lib
erties, an old colored man, named Jerry,
succumbed to heat and fell to tho ground
from sun stroke. He was carried into an
adjoining house and during tho evening
lie revived sufficiently to be taken home.
Tho doctor thought ho was in no further
danger at a late hour last night. Yester
day about three o'clock was magnificently
hot, and to havo succeeded In bringing to
the ground a ward of tho nation, was a
striking evidence of it.

An Ornament to |hn City.
Apropos of tho recent congratulatory
notices of tho press upon the honors Co
lumbus girls havo recently won, a thought
suggests itself. Our friend, Air. Prescott,
shares doubly in these complimentary no
tices, his two charming daughters, ICIMOS
Fannie and Annie, having been tho recipi
ents of first honors—tho one at Macon and
tho other at Marietta. While much is due
to the application and natural gifts of the
young ladies themselves, they can but
heartily concur with us In giving praise to
the preparation thoy received for collegi
ate duties—having been instructed solely
by Miss Sal lie Mitchell. It is a note-wor
thy fact that tho pupils of Miss Mitchell
havo been peculiarly fortunate in all con
tests for honors. A thorough teacher, she
appreciates "The way the twig is bent so
tho tree inclines,’’ and hus laboriously fit
ted them for the duties of after years.
Wo .can point with pride to many instan
ces of her success, and wish for her what
she richly deserves -continued prosperity.
For several years she has conducted a
high school for young ladies in this city,
each year her patrons becoming more nu
merous. Now the school lias vacation,
but in tho fall she will commence again
under oven brighter auspices. Attache 1
to tho school is a boarding department,
under the same roof with the family of her
father and mother—Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell.
This school is an excellent preparatory
school, and wo doubt if there is a better
one In the Htate or the South than this, or
a more thorough or competent teacher
than Miss Mitchell. This is a Columbus
institution, built up entirely by a genuine
Southern lady. Every patron that has
ever had their children at her school will
agree with us in what we havo written.
The school is, in fact, a pride and an orna
ment to tho educational facilities of Co
lumbus.
A Pico for the l*o&r.
Wo learn that there are several poor
men who havo been -convicted at this term
: of tho Superior Court, and are now work
ing out their sentence either on the
chain-gang, or in tho State pententiary.
It lias occurred to us that if in fact the
entire court was illegal, then they must
bo hold by false imprisonment. It is fur
ther suggested to our mind that justice,
and strict justice, would require that these
poor devils have their sentence arrested.
The fact that thoy have no powerful (?)
friends is not a sufficient reason why they
bo granted a respite. Homo Ignorant
men have been imprisoned, and it
looks like the great State of Geor
gia, through the proper officers might,
upon the court’s own motion, have their
sentence removed. If they had friends,
thoy might get a respite, but away off'
upon the public works, with a pair of
striped breeches, and a pick in their hand,
they might never know they were Illegally
convicted, and that there has been no
court held this spring in Muscogee coun
ty. Wo hope thoy will at once be notified
and grunted tho respite. It may cost the
county an additional sum to that largo
sum already expended, but give them an
equal showing; as wo are going to have a
now trial in some cases, let us havo anew
trial In all, for all convictions were equally
illegal.
Another lluggy Nnathi’d.
Tho pretty span of horses owned by Mr.
Wolfo Moses took into their heads yester
day afternoon to tako a little more vigor
ous exorcise than that gentleman is in the
habit of allowing them to bike, especially
when attached to his buggy. Mr. Moses
had occasion to quit his vehicle at the
lower end of Broad street, and placed a
small colored individual in charge of the
team, to see that tho animals did no mis
chief during his absence. From some
cause tho horses became frightened, and
the boy, who was holding one of them by
tho bridle, offering such slight resistance
to their movements, t hey soon got from
under ids control and bounded off at their
utmost speed. The result of their flight
was only a shattered buggy, as there was
no person lu it at tho time. That boy
ought to havo had moro strength or nerve,
by which means he might have controlled
tho horses, saved the buggy, and prevent
ed Mr. M. from being deprived of ids ride
homo this terrible warm weather. It was
no doubt a great change in tho programme,
but we hope it was borne with as good
grace as possible under the circumstances.
.Unit Wltn nu linn.
The Detroit Free Frees has the following
on tho man for whom wo wore searching
yesterday:
It wasn’t right, and future generations
will say that it wasn’t. He came tramp
ing up stairs, tossed ids hat on the table,
and as he sat down on a chair he carefully
remarked:
"Suppose you’d like a big item?”
"Yes, of course;” replied the lone re
porter.
"I haven’t been to any other paper with
it." he continued, as ho leaned forward.
‘‘l’ve taken the Free Press for twenty
nine years, and I’ve walked four miles to
give you this item." •
"Well, I’m very much obliged, indeed.
What is the item?”
"Well, you know tho Grand Trunk Junc
tion?”
“Yes. out here about three miles from
the City Hall.”
"Well, it was about a mile beyond that.
Me and another fellow was coming in on
the track. Ho was a stranger, and seemed
downhearted and gloomy; said he didn't
care two cents whether he liveni or died’”
"Poor fellow! Can you describe him ?"
"Yes. he was about five feet six, InuUod
hair, big foot, coarse clothes, blue eyes and
no whiskers.
"Well, goon.”
"Wo got within a mile of the junction
when the express train from the East came
thundering along.”
"Yes."
“And of course wo stepped off tho
track."
"Yes.”
"I wasn’t looking for nor expecting any
such thing, you know, for the man didn’t
let on nor betray himself by word nor
look. If I’d only suspected it, why, 1 could
have grabbed him."
"Yes, I see.”
"Well, we stood facing tho train. 1 was
a leetJe ahead of him, and what did he do
as the train got within 300 feet of us?”
"Hushed on the truck?*’
"No; not that. He made a jump for the
rail, kpeeled down, and—
" Great blazes, but it was awful!" inter
rupted the reporter.
"Awful! I guess It was! 1 was never
so weak in my life. He deliberately laid
his neck on the rail, shut his eyes, and—"
“And the locomotive took his head clean
off.” shouted the reporter, springing up.
“No. As I was eaying, ho deliberately
placed his nook on the rail, and held ft
there —"
"And was mashed!"
"No, sir—held it there fora moment and
then ”
"And was then struck by the pilot!’’
"No, sir, and then he deliberately took it
off again, and is now in a saloon around
the corner inquiring for a job.”
The reporter leaned back and looked at
him for a long time.
The stranger leaned back and looked at
the reporter.
Nothing disturbed tho deep silence but
the ticking of the clock.
By and by the man with Uie item looked
up at the skylight, down at the floor,
aigl softly slid out into the hall and was
gone.

CLOSING EXERCISE* -LAUGH CROWD TN AT
TENDANCE—-SPEECHES INCI
DENTS, ETC.
Macon, July 14th.
Dear Times: To-day the Commencement
exercises of tho Weslyan Fornalo College,
th'e oldest institution of its kind in this
country, came to a close.
The preceding days have been marked
by a series of exhibitions by tho various
classes, and by other interesting exercises.
The sermon of Bishop W. M. Wlghtman,
of South Carolina, delivered last Sunday,
is sakl to have been a master-piece of pul
pit eloquence. Tho Bishop is one of the
most polished orators in the .South.
The Triennial Alumnean Address of Ho v.
W. P. Harrison, D. D„ formerly of Colum
bus, but now of Atlanta, was delivered
Tuesday. His theme was the influence of
woman on tho progress of tho world. It
Is said to have been full of his wonderful
research and louring, and to have been
presented in that strongly attractive style,
so peculiar to himself. The address must
have boon a rare literary treat. All who
heard it speak of it as a fine production.
Tho Soph more and Junior exhibitions are
said to have been good.
The annual Concert was sllmly attended,
on account of a heavy rain. The music
was not oa good as could have been wished.
An elevation of the musical standard
of tho institution would result iu great
benefit to it. No accomplishment renders
a woman more capable of becoming a
queen of society, than a fine musical edu
cation. It is to be regretted that most of
tho female colleges in our Htato pay so lit
tle attention to this important branch of
female education.
WHAT WE SAW.
We arrived in tho city early this morn
ing, and iiad the pleasure of attending the
exorcises of the last day.
Tho graduating classes of this popular
institution aro always so large that they
are divided into sections, and read at dif
ferent times during commencement. The
present graduating class consists of twen
ty-seven members, and was divided into
three sections. We heard only the lasi
section; the others read on Monday night
and Tuesday morning. Tho preceding
sections are said to have done well, al
though there is some complaint that most
of the subjects chosen wore trite, and worn
out. It is not very difficult to guess the
themes of about half the compositions of
a female college commencement Ixifore
you see the programme. College girls
love a certain set of subjects with a strong
affection, and they will write on these
same subjects year alter year, no matter
what people say about them. There aro
about half a dozen themes that havo real
ly been talked of enough, considering their
Importance, and if the college girls who
will read next summer will omit them,
just for a rarity, the public will lx? grate
ful. Several poetical quotations have also
been thoroughly impressed on the minds
of all who have ever attended a female
commencement, and if they could bo per
mitted to rest a few years, nobody’s po
etical fame would suffer, and those who
hear tho annual compositions of tho young
ladies in this State would be glad. These
remarks are, perhaps, not more applica
ble to the present commencement than to
many others that have occurred at the va
rious female colleges in the State since the
war. Let us hope that a time will come
when it cannot bo said with truth, as we
fear it now can, that when you have at
tended one fornalo college commencement
nothing moro remains to be seen in the
same line. An effort of originality, fresh
ness and novelty would be hailed with de
light by all who bike pleasure in visiting
tho annual exhibitions of our female col
leges.
Wednesday’s exercises.
Wednesday morning the Chapel was
crowded to hoar the compositions of the
last section of the Senior Class. After
prayer and music, Miss Mary L. Jackson,
of Macon, road a pretty salutatory in
verso. She was fortunate in leaving the
beaten track and in presenting a produc
tion the conception and execution of which
displayed originality and thought. Some
passages In tho salutatory wore beautiful
and worthy the pen of many a more dis
tinguished writer of verse.
Miss Cora 1. Nutting, of Mocon, road a
composition on Life, with a sweet, woman
ly grace that was the subject of general
comment.
Miss Nettie Dunlap, of Macon, asked tho
pertinent question. “A Graduate, What
Then?"
Miss SalHe W. Snider, of Macon, read a
poem on “My Classmates,” in which the
I>eculiarities, excellencies and follies of
each of twenty-seven young ladles wero
wittily presented. Tho fair reader was
just to all save herself. Wo would like to
have written that part of her composition,
and are sure wo would have come much
nearer the trut h than she did.
Miss Kate Keaton, of Texas, read an es
say on doubt, In which she contended that
it was tho mother of truth.
The valedictory to tho audience, under
graduates and trustees, was and olive ml by
Miss Lillie Johnson, of Cartersvilie, who
shared tho First Honor. Sho is said to be
a young lady of fine talent.
The valedictory to tho class and faculty
was delivered by Miss Fannie S. Prescott,
of Columbus, who shared the honor with
Miss Johnson. Her composition was line,
and was delivered so that all could easily
hear it. She displayed boldness and orig
inality in the treatment of so difficult a
task as a valedictory. Miss Prescott has
only been in the college a short time, but
she has wou an enviable place in tho re
gard of the faculty, her classmates and
all who know her. She has represented
Columbus well, and we hope her course in
life may be as happy and successful as
her college career has been. While her
sister bore oIT tho First Honor at the
Marietta Female College, she gained a
similar distinction here.
Columbus should lx? proud of two such
lovely and accomplished daughters
After the valedictory President Pass
conferred the degree of A. M. on the class
of 1860. lie then delivered tin' diplomas
to the graduating class.
THE BACCALAUREATE
of President Boss was remarkably brief,
and consisted in tho best advice to the
graduating class and warnings not to in
dulge in the follies and extravagances of
modern times. If all baccalaureates were
►as brief and pointed, audiences would be
saved many a boro.
“Home, Sweet Home,” was then sung as
a "parting hymn.
THE ANNEAL ADDRESS
was delivered by James H. Carlisle, L. L.
IX, President of Wofford College. S. C.
His theme was the title of a little volume
which has been much read, vizi “The Me
morials of a Quiet Life.”
Dr. Carlisle treated tho subject in a
masterly manner. He is no orator, but he
is surely a very profound thinker, ami a
learned scholar. His stylo Is very re
markablo for terseness and strength. Not
one unnecessary word was used in the
whole discourse. There was no studied
effort at ornament or effect. The fine
thoughts of the speaker were presented
ixddly, and were clothed in the purest,
chastest diction, and the most faultless
rhetoric. The main idea was grand, and
it was presented in a manner which de
lighted all who wore capable of apprecia
ting strong thought, pure stylo and ele
gant diction.
After the address the doxology was
sung by the very large congregation, and
tlie benediction pronounced by Bishop
Wlghtman.
CHANGES.
Bov. W. F. Cook has resigned his posi
tion ns Professor, of Chemistry, and Rev.
H. W. Key, son of Dr. J. B. Key, has been
elected to fill his place. Mr. Key is well
known in Columbus, and his friends will
be glad to hear of his election to such an
important position.
The terms of tho College, instead of be
ginning in October and ending in July, will
hereafter begin in September and end in
J uno.
A VETERAN.
The venerable Dr. Lovick Pierce is In at
tendance on the exercises. This wonder
ful man lias attended every commence
ment of this institution, save one two
years ago. He looks quite feeble.
DISTINGUISHED VISITORS.
There are a large number of distin
guished visitors, among whom are Bishop
Pierce, Bishop Wightman, Dr. Morgan,
of Kentucky, and many Doctors of Divini
ty and gentlemen of State reputation. The
city is full of visitors and presents quite a
gay appearance. A large number of the
ulumulal of the institution are here. The
grand alumnian banquet comes off to
night.
The commencement has passed, and by
many it will bo looked back to wi- h pleas
ure. On the whole, it was not as good as
the similar occasion of the same institu
tion last year. The music was not as good
as the public expected, and by next year
it is to bo hoped great Improvement will
bo made in this department. We omitted
to state that Miss Kate Ashburn received
tiuymly musical diploma awarded.
NUISANCES.
There were at this commencement two
or throe nuisances whose presence ren
ders every occasion of the kind disagree
able to many in the audience. Chief of all
these nuisances is your senseless com
mencement appiauder. He struts in
armed with his formidable emberreila and
until he retires peace and quiet aro un
known. He tries to raise a furore of ap
plause at the end of every sentence. In
the most pathetic portions of the finest es
says ho comes down on the floor with
both heels and occasionally calls in his
hands as auxiliaries. If tho audience ap
plauds, ho grows furious in his jo/; he
jumps and leaps and yells if the applause
is very great. If he fails in his attempts
to start a noise lie is not in the least
abashed. He has chosen his seat in front
of everybody, and he faces the audience if
he can. The frowns or comments of those
around him arc unnoticed. He glories in
the thought that lie is the center of public
notice, and cares not a cent if he is the
object of public disgust. At every interval
lie comes down to his work and keeps the
whole Chapel in an uproar. Ho is tho bane
of and the torment of all sensi
ble people. There is only one doom of
which he is worthy, and that is to be
seized "vi et armis” and tumbled head
long out of the nearest window.
Another nuisance Is your incessant
talker, whoso musical buzz is heard for
hours together, and whose mode of draw
ing breath is -a mystery to all who see
him—perhaps we should say her. Several
minor nuisances are scarcely less annoy
ing. but are too insignilieent to be digni
fied with a notice.
After all, perhaps, these nuisances just
spoken of—old subjects, worn out politi
cal quotations and “slngiug reading” —are
the necessary evils which attend upon the
many pleasures of every female Com
mencement, aiul we will not complain
against the Commencement applauder,
however, we cherish an animosity which
time can never efface. F. H. 11.
Peramiult.
Francis Fontaine, Esq., left tho city yes
terday, to be gone for u week or ten days.
F. H. Richardson, Esq., eity editor of the
Times, left several day sago for Oxford,
but we heard of him as far north as Chat
tanooga, which is on the route to Mem
phis. He may be back to-day sometime,
but we doubt it.
Dr. Key and lady were in the city yes
terday. The many warm friends of this
favorite pastor were glad to see him back.
He leaves to-day to attend commencement
at Oxford, lie is a trustee of the College.

Charity is nevor lost; It may moot with
ingratitude, or be of no service to those
on whom it is bestowed, yet it ever does a
work of beauty and grace upon the heart
of the giver.
The separation of friends by death Is
less terrible than tho divorce of true hearts
that have ceased to sympathize, while
memory is still recalling what they once
wore to each other.
Generosity during life is a very different
thing from tho generosity in death. One
proceeds from genuine liberality and be
nevolence, the other from pride or fear. 0
Say nothing respecting yourself either
good, bad or indifferent—nothing good, for
it is vanity; nothing bad, for that is
aflfcctation; nothing indiffcaent, for that
is silly.
Small means often accomplish great
good. Each of us may do something for
others, and true sympathy and loving
ministry are never lost.
This is the season for mad dogs. If your

Charles and John Williams came to town
yesterday with a young steer, which they
offofed for sale at ten dollars. The low
price excited the suspicion of one of our
vigilant policemen, Joines, who took the
Williams brothers with the steer to Mon
day’s stable. While there the latter made
their escape, thus confirming the belief
that the ox had been stolen. The rascals

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 tiiis remedy gives
better satisfaction than any article we
sell. We have been selling it since 1808,
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
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 lie. A few months
after the death of her husband she saw
vour advertisement, ami 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 dbund and
well, brought her regular monthly peri
ods on, and to-day she is a hearty, bloom
ing widow—with tho 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
dies, we are, respectfully yours, etc.,
