Wo were yesterday shown two full grown, healthy caterpillars and a moth, w'hlch came from the plantation of Mr. Robert Flournoy, live miles from the city.

Editor* Times: The season for renting Is at hand, and the landlord and tenants should agree upon a fair and equal basis. Tho business prosperity of Columbus among merchants, mechanics and pro fessions, Is far liolow what It has been. The future outlook Is still more gloomy; and tho rents of the coming year should be reduced at least twenty-five per (sent, lie low that of the past year. The land lord should no longer demand twenty per cent, upon his real estate, nor the tenant submit to such extortion. The rate of ten per cent, investment in real estate, will more than pay tax and insurance, and yield the landlord over eight por cent, as an Income. Let taxes be ever so high— the landlord requires of the tenant an In crease of his rent to moot the tax. It is thus’ tho tenant is tho sole miff ever, and the burden of taxation falls upon those less able to bear it. The landlord should bear oqually with the tenant In sustaining the burdens of taxation, and adjust his rents accordingly. “Live and let live,” should bo the motto of both landlord and tenant—and the repairs, and taking care of of rented property, should be equally; observed and demanded by both parties. These reflections are offered with the view of so harmonizing landlords and ten ants that a fair ront may be obtained without loss to tho landlord or a desire to oppress those who are compelled to rent. To be a successful and harmonious people, we must aid (as far os possible) each other in our embarrassments, and become a united people In sentiment and in action. A Citizen. There Is no gainsaying “Citizen’s” facts, so far os It relates to the of the peo ple. They do want cheap rents. The cry for cheap homes Is now heArd from every quarter, and the day will come when en terprising capitalists will construct cheap houses. The trouble is that tho rented houses in Columbus are built too costly, not In point of architecture, but In loca tion and area consumed. While we want cheap rents It Is hard on the landlord to reduce his rents. Asa general rule lie makes no money, for after [laying an enormous city tax, insurance and making repairs, he has left very little for his Interest on his investment, in many Instances not over four per cent. Mercer l'Diversity. Wo have received a catalogue of this flourishing institution, situated at Macon. It is certainly in a fine condition, and a futuro of prosperity seems open before it. The buildings of the University are elegant, and commodious. They were erected about two years ago at a very large cost. The number of students In attendance during tho past collegiate year was 130. The high schools which are tributary to the University had 244 pupils in attend ance. The class which graduated in July numbered 20. There are seven young men in attendance on the law school. The next term begins the first Wednesday in Octo ber. A large number of new students are expected. The faculty of the University Is one of the best in the South. Rev. A. J. Battle, formerly of Virginia, is President. Prof. 8. P. Sanford, Dr. John J. Brantley and Prof. Joseph E. Wlllet arc known to many of our readers. Mercer University has an ample endow ment fund. Tho Baptists of Georgia have worked nobly for tho success of the insti tution. The city of Macon has also ex tended considerable financial aid to it. The University Is on a firm basis finan cially. It is a good Institution and de serves tho success it is now enjoying. Our Omln-CJung. The chain-gang is eminently useful to tho city. For the past week the striped citizens have been engaged in improving our streets in various ways. They have opened and cleaned out several sewers which nooded attention. They work well. They make quite a little company, and preserve tho best of order. Tne other day while they were at work in front of the Times office an amusing little incident oc- our rod. Our pressman when at work consults comfort more than external appearance. Ho lias a suit of coarse osnaburgs which he wears around in the press-room to save his good clothes. By chance this osnaburg suit has broad stripe# all over it, and looks very much like the chain-gang garb. Our pressman had occasion to go out on the sidewalk while the chain-gang was at work very near it. When lie turned to come in ho was ordered by the guard to “get into ranks” and go to work. His con sternation may bo imagined. Ho was be ing carried into tho street vi et arum, when several employee# of the office went to his rescuo and Identified him. He now remains close around tho press while lie lias on his striped disguise. >1 iiyor'n Court. Yesterday the largest Mayor’s Court of the season was held. AldermanT. E. Blanchard presided. Tho first caso cal led was against Dody Morris, “Slioog” Lawrence, Buck Whit hurst and Isham Sanders, for assaulting an officer and interfering with the dis charge of his duty. Dedy was fined $2 50; Shoog’s case was continued; Buck was dismissed; Isham was fined $2 50. Jim Hanby and Jim Jimmerson were next arrraignod, and charged with disor derly conduct. They wore fined $4 50 each, and allowed to take choice of paying it or going to tho guard-house for four days. William Howard was charged with in terfering with an officer in the discharge of his duty. He was dismissed. Chas. Brown charged with disorderli noss on Sunday was dismissed.

The Soutfiern Croon, tho Catholic Weekly, will be Issuod at Savannah about the mid dle of September. It will havo a very large circulation from tho start.

It appears on the editorial page of the great dally. Everybody can boa weather prophet now. Just announce that it will rain to morrow, and your reputation is made. No chance of failure. Wo do not like thieves, but wo think Co lumbus can boast of tho most cultivated thieves in the land. They steal nothing but flowers now, and even select the rarest and most beautiful plants. Tho Times says “Columbus Is looking up.” Looking up at what? Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Venus or the dog star ? Exchange. No; she's “looking up” to At lanta -and wants the Atlanta A Columbus Air-Lino Railroad built. So do the people. —National American. The days of the mosquito arc numbered, but he does not seem to be concious of tho fact, If he Is, ho views the case with the aye of a philosopher, and does not let it effect his cheerful activity. Who do all those geese that jHirambu late all over Broad street belong to ? A stranger would think we regarded geese with tho reverence of a Roman, and that tho large flock was tho city’s pride. The Southwestern train arrives at a very inconvenient hour—quarter to two in the morning. It makes close connec tion, however, with tho Western train, and through passengers are not disturbed at, all. Those who stop in Columbus are the sufferers. To-morrow afternoon is the time ap pointed for tho rifle match between our two military companies. We havo heard very little of the match recently. Let us have It by all means. Neither company has practised for it. Col. Whidby, of the Atlanta (institution, hue not left for the Black Hills yet. He will bo ihere in time for tlie first issue of tho Sioux Gazette. Somebody has calculated that Georgia has throe or four more railroads than she can support. Some of the best portions of the State, sections which would well sup port a railroad, are without any. If a hun dred or two miles of these needless rail roads could be transferred to certain parts of tho State they would pay and Improve the material resources of tho sections through which they passed. The United States has the third largest national debt In tlie world. France and England are ahead of our government. We owe the modest sum of $2,127,394,000. France owes $3,750,000,000. England owes a round sum of $4,000,000, 000. Mon are getting stronger and hardier instead of more effomln&t. as tlie world grows older. Fifty years ago the brawni est Englishman would never have dreamed of such a feat as swimming the English channel. Paul Boynton did not consider the swimming of it anything very groat. If Edgar Poe was a sound sleeper the chances are ton to one that he would not have heard “the loud alarum bells” in Ca>- lumbus. Our alarm bell is not hung high enough. It is below the level of the neigh boring buildings and rings in a huge box, as it were. Let itbe raised and perhaps the people will wiike up when it rings. Wo haven’t any Coolies down this way. If tho predictions of labor-revolutionists come to pass wo will have a host of them In a few years. Let us see. They are having fun out in the country' now. Hops and parties arc all the rage, and rustic belles and beaux are In a pure atmosphere of joy. Fort Valley has more little pajo boys who come into tho cars with poaches to sell than any place of its size in Christen dom.

Returned. Professor G. R. Glenn, chairman of the Faculty of tho Columbus Female College, returned yesterday, and is now ready to answer all communications concerning the college.

About twelve o’clock Monday night one of the most desperate fights ever known around Columbus occurred just across tho river. Both of the combatants were terri bly wounded and little hope is entertained of tho recovery of one of them. There were no witnesses to the fight and It was exceedingly difficult to learn the details. Various reports were In circulation, and the friends of each party had very differ ent versions of the affair. Wo learned the facts as boat wo could and will give both statements of the case. Tho two parties in tho. bloody affray were Tom Bowen, an operative in the Southwestern Railroad shops, and Asbury Miller, who does business on Broad street near No. 1 engine house. Whether the parties had any old grudge or unsettled quarrel wo could not learn. They met Monday night about eleven o’clock at A. L. Harrison’s corner, near the Mobile A Girard depot on Broad street. They got into an excited discussion and soon words carno to a fierce quarrel. Bowen proposed to settle the matter on the spot. Miller said ho would prefer to cross the river and fight it out. ▲OBOSS THE RIVER. This proposition was agreed to and the two walked side by side gloomily across the bridge. It is thought they crossed the railroad bridge, as the fight is said to have occurred near the track. When they ar rived on the Alabama shore they walked some distance until they came to a clear Bpot. The two reports differ as to the subsequent part of the affair. ONE STATEMENT. Bowen’s friends say that Miller told him to step and then asked him to step off the ground and see If It was level. As he turned his back to Miller and walked some distance from him, Miller snapped a re volver at him. As it failed to lire he snapped again, and again it failed to lire. By this time Bowen turned around and faced Miller. The latter then fired, the ball striking Bowen in the muscle of his right arm. Bowen started for his antago nist, but before he could reach him was again shot, tho ball entering his abdomen. Notwithstanding these two severe wounds he seized Miller and, as Bowen’s friends say, a FIERCE COMBAT ensued. Bowen must have had almost superhuman strength. He beat Miller terribly, bruising different parts of his body. He seems to have spent his fury on his head. The face was badly beaten up, the right eye received a severe blow and tlie left eye was pulled almost out. It Is still protruding terribly and will in all probability never be of any future service. The other eye is also seriously injured. Bowen seems to have been very little hurt by this part of the encounter. It Is said by some that the fight occurred near the railroad track and that Bowen beat Mil ler’s head against tho rail. ANOTHER VERSION. Miller’s friends tell quite a different tale from the above. They say that after the men had crossed tho river Bowen as saulted Miller with brass knucks, und that his head was beaten up terribly be fore he fired. They say Miller shot In self-defence, and only used his pistol to save his life. Both parties agree that Bowen had no pistol, and his friends deny that he had any brass knucks. Miller had a revolver, which carried a medium sized bail. His friends say ho tried to avoid the difficulty, but that Bowen seemed bent on a fight. After their bloody encounter was over both men were powerless, of course. Af ter some time Miller made his way to a neighboring house and remained there until help arrived, when he was carried to his father’s house, on Oglethorpe street. Bowen was cared for by some negroes, who came up when tho fight was nearly over, and brought to his mother's resi dence, on Few street, near tho Catholic Church, early Tuesday morning. We give both versions of tho affair, and do not pretend to say which is the true one. The friends of both parties are con fident in their assertions, and we only give what was currently reported yester day. The two men are about tho same age— both being a little over 21 years. Of the two, Bowen is much the larger and stout er. He is •employed as a blacksmith, and is a man of great physical strength. Medical attention was called to both the wounded men yesterday. It is thought that Miller will recover without any diffi culty, although lie is suffering a great deal. Bowen’s recovery is exceedingly doubtful. Both wounds are very severe, and his recovery cannot be looked on as very probable. He was resting well yes terday afternoon. A warrant for his ar rest was brought in while he was quiet, and excited him considerably. We heard of no change in his condition during the day. He is very low. The affair was terrible in all its details, and Is deeply regretted by all. With our information it was impossible to judge who sought the difficulty or who was most in the wrong. We simply give facts as reported to us. Dr. Word is attending Miller, and says he will recover in a few days. l>r. George Grimes is attending Bowen. Personal*. Mr. W. J. Chaffin and Mr. L. M. Burrus returned yesterday from the Warm and Sulphur Springs. Mr. James Blanchard leaves to-day for New York. He has been spending the summer in Columbus. Mr. W. L. Tillman left for the White Sul phur Springs yesterday evening, to be gone a few days. He is so wedded to his business that it is an important event for him to go farther than calling distance from his store. Mr. William C. Turner, Foreman of the Times Office, took leave of us yesterday, to be absent several days. He goes to the Springs in quest of health and pleasure. He will return to his post in a few days, prepared to enter on the fall and winter campaign. Mr. Dan Rowe, who for the past three years has boon the agent at Hurtville, Ala., has mado arrangements to reside in Atlanta and engage in business there. Mr. Stevens, of the Southern A Atlantic Tele graph Office, has been given Mr. Rowe’s place. We were glad to meet Mr. William N. Hawks, formerly of Columbus, but now of Atlanta. He is here as adjuster for the company he represents, which lost by the Bedell A Ware tire. Pay Day Changed. The pay day of the Eagle A Phenix Mills has been changed from every other Sat urtjjiy to every other Monday. The new arrangement will go into effect on the 30th. It is thought the change will be beneficial for many reasons. It will be better for the operatives. FINANCIAL 4 COMMERCIAL. MARKKTM BY TELEGRAPH. Spoil*] to the Daily Times by tho 8. 4 A. Line.

Huptlst Meeting. The Baptist meeting which recently took place at Mount Zion, Harris county, about six miles above Columbus, was not a meet ing of the Columbus Association, but mere ly of the Third District of the Association. The Association does not meet until Octo ber. It will convene in this city on Satur day before tho second Sunday in October. The meeting at Mount Zion was very largely attended and was of interest to all present. Rev. C. A. Kendrick, of this city, preached the introductory sermon last Friday morning. Rev. J. F. Reeves, of Browneville, preached at night. Saturday morning Rev. W. J. Mitchell, of Talbotton, preached a very fine sermon. Mr. M. is a young man of fine talents, and has ac quired great reputation recently. He is fast building up his church in Talbotton. Rev. William Lively preached Saturday night. All these sermons were heard by large congregations. On Sunday morning Bov. C. A. Kendrick preached again. His sermon was excel lent. The crowd was then much larger than before. Tlie church could not seat all who came. Many drove their buggies near the windows and listened there. In the midst of the sermon It began to rain, and the church was more densely packed than ever. After the sermon fifteen or twenty persons rose and asked for the prayer of the congregation. Rev. W. J. Mitchell preached an impressive sermon in the afternoon. An interesting discus sion of the Sunday-school question was had after tho sermon. The people in the vicinity of Mourn. Zion were as hospitable as whole-souled coun try people can bo. They did all in their fiowcr for the comfort and pleasure of all visitors. On Sunday quite a party went up from Columbus. The meeting of the Columbus Associa tion in October is looked forward to with much interest. There will be a large num ber of visiters in the city. Full u*t! Winter Clothing. Messrs. Thornton &.

Bradfield’s Fe male Regulator is beyond precedent in tho annals of popular remedies. Orders come in so thick and fast that the Propri etor has. heretofore been unable to fiU 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 the public may feel assured that their wants may now be supplied. Physicians of high repute are using this great remedy, in daily practice, ail over Georgia. Hereafter no woman need suf fer from suppressed, suspended or irreg ular menstruation. This valuable medi cine is prepared by L. H. Bradfleld, Drug gist. Atlanta, Ga., and sold at $1.50 jer bottle by druggists throughout America HEARTY, BLOOMING WIDOW. Marietta, Ga., March 9,1870. Messrs. Bradfleld d* (Jo.: 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 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 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 to di rections. It lias cured her sound and well, brought her regular monthly peri ods on, and to-day 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 rente-] die 6, we are, respectfully yours, etc., W. Root A s. ap23 8m 1 DR. J. A.
