A It HAVE WOMAN AND DAUGHTER. Yesterday afternoon wo were made ac quainted with the circumstances of an at tempted suicide. We called to sec the af flicted family, and found them not dispos ed to be communicative. The subject of trouble was stubborn, and refused to bo in terviewed, but the wife and daughter told us SOME OF TIIB.CniOUMSTANCEH. It soeips that a man numed Horace Hen dricks recently came to Columbus from Florida, and engaged In any kind of busi ness that come to hand. For some little while ho has failed to secure any work, and has been GLOOMY AND CROSS. ills devoted wife did all sl*> could to clioor his drooping spirits, and anticipa ting that lie intended taking his life, watched him by day and night. YESTERDAY, while everybody was making arrange ments to celebrate the Christmas holidays, he decided to take tho life that had been given him, and went deliberately to work to accomplish his determination. It soems ho counted upon the chances of detection, and closed every avenue to detection. He wont in roar of tho dwelling house, and into an old smoke-house, and then tried to HANG HIMSELF. He might have succeeded but for the noise ho made in kicking over the box upon which ho stood. In flls struggles the box was kneckod over, and his wife’s attention was attracted by the noise. She hastily placed the box in position and calling for tier daughter to bring a knife, suc ceeded in cutting him down Ijeforo strangulation occurred. With tho assistance of a neighbor his almost lifeloes body was convoyed Into tho house. After a fow minutes ho was all right, though ills faco was discolored by tho sus pension. Ho expresses himself as very penitent and really sorry for the cowardly attempt to rid himself of the RESPONSIBILITIES OF THIS WORLD by resorting to self-destruction. His wile and daughter are unable to account for the rash net. They say they aro totally ignorant of any cuuso that would load him to such a conclusion, but an intimate friend says it results from an inability to got enough work, and a too great fond ness for whiskey. We think from all we could (jather that POVERTY AND WHISKEY wore tho prime causes—poverty, because he drank too much whiskey; and too much whiskey, because ho thought himself too weak. Such conduct was a nice Christmas present for a wife! Three doz. Eggs for a dollar at Crane’s. Orphan*’ Home. About throe years ago the South Georgia Conference of tho Methodist Episcopal Church, South, established an Orphans Home, noar Macon, Oa., and appointed Kov. Samuel Anthony as the agent to or ganize and establish the institution upou a permanent basis. Ho secured an eligible Homo, valued at SIO,OOO, whero thirty chil dren, without father or mother, have been fed end clothed, and aro being educated and taught to work. At the recent session of tho South Georgia Conference, Rev. Mr. Anthony resigned his position and Rev. L. B. Payne was appointed in his stead. This gentleman Is now in the field, and will can vass our city and all of that part of the State within tho bounds of tho South Georgia Conference, raising supplies to sustain this institution. We feel assured that no interest that could be presented, would more readily enlist tho cordial co operation of tho public. Mayor'* Court. X It was a groat pity that the law altows a Mayor’s Court, just before Christmas, for every year somebody is prevented from enjoying tho holidays on accouut of bad behavior a few days in advance. Just such luck bofell Nett Doreoy yesterday. She got drunk in advanoo of the rules aud regulations, and the police took tier up. She says thoy wore jealous becauso sho could buy whiskey and thoy could not; yet tho Mayor thought that was a poor excuse and as the police always have enough, whether bought or not Nett is a littlo inclined to be duck-legged, and somowhat bandy-shanked, and on account of these little irregularities, and hor bad conduct, she will remain in the guard house live days, and only enjoy Christmas as sho hears the festive Are crackers in the distance. Sho may smell a drink as tho next euiprit passes in, but she is in clined to bid fair well to Front street whiskey for at least live days. John Wynn was charged with being drunk and disorderly. The Mayor thought the charge was correct, for in a fow words ho informed tho Marshal to collect live dollars and cost. This order was obeyed, arid John was turnod loose.

Tho suc cess has been most gratifying. Tho same ladles attended their tables' as were an nounced on the ilrst occasion. Last night two additions wore added to tho Festival— one table of every kind of delicacy, and the other a Christmas tree gotten up by Mrs. Martin. raffles wore tho order,.of tho evening, and many things were won by various people. The elegant wrapper presented by Miss Carrie Williams, was won by Mr. Frank Ellis. Tho wrapper netted to tho memorial fund fifty dollars. THE MILITARY VOTE was thought to be badly mixed, but upon counting out tho votes, it stood as fol lows : Columbus Guards 825 City Light Guards 500 Muscogee Rifles 27 Ho tho elegant picture presented by Mrs. Martin, was won by tho Columbus Guards. The festival closed last night. A large crowd was present, and all seemed to enjoy themselves. V. M. C. A. The regular Tuesday evening services of the Young Men’s Christian Association have not been discontinued, though Its other meeting lias been suspended dur ing the winter. On next Tuesday evening there will boa praise and thanksgiving meeting at tho usual place—tho locture room of the Presbyterian Church. Every member of the Association and tho public generally arc req nested to attend the meet ing. Tho service will be of an interesting character, provided there is a sufficient attendance to make it such. Let all here tofore careless in attending, endeavor to bo present on this occasion. In this the last meeting of tills year there should be no lack of interest. The Association has done great good in the cause of Christ, and by proper management will live to do much more. A Murprlae PaHy, A surprise party, numbering over one hundrod, met at tho residence of Mr. J. M. Estes last uight, and from thence repaired to tho dwelling of Rev. C. A. Kondriek, pastor of tho Baptist Church. Everything that could possibly lie imagined was on hand, all of which were presented to Mr. Kendrick. Among the elegant presents was a llne*slxty dollar suit of broadcloth. Tho articles were all very acceptable, ami allowed tho high appreciation of their pastor by his congregation. The crowd were entertained with music and pleas antry to a late hour. Doe* It Pay to AdvertUef The reason we think it does not pay to advertise is, because a gentleman adver tised in the Times for a lost necklace, and the next day the finder brought it to this offloo. Now, it cost something to adver tise it, and, of course, it would have beon found just as easily without being adver tised as otherwise, for the finder told us if lie had not seen the advertisement he would liavo kept the necklace.

Mor ton who is how giving iris attention to the collection of claims against the Govern ment. Tlie old negro was happy in tho pos session of such a Christmas gift. Health. The physicians toll us that the health of the city was never bettor., It is so good that if somebody does not get sick very soon wo stand a chance to lose by remov al of one or two first-class doctors.

A St. Louis paper relates an in stance of tho pride of a child who struggled to keep up appearances in a way that was touching to witness. Tho hopelessness of the endeavor Was made painfully manifest by the well meant action of her teacher, and the facts are these: Just before the close of the last session of the public schools in that city, an incident took place which, as an illustration, is more than touch ing. At one of the schools, num bers of the pupils were in the habit of bringing a luncheon with them, which at noon they ate together. Among those who did not go home for their dinner, the teacher in a par ticular room noticed a little girl who always sat looking wistfully at her playmates wtfen they went out with their luncheons, but who never brought anything herself. The child wus always neatly but very poorly dad, and one of the closest students in school hours. This odd action of the child’s lasted for some time, when one day the teacher noticed that the little thing had apparently brought her dinner with her. The noon hour came, and the children took their lunch as usual and wont out to eat it, the little girl referred to alone remaining in the room, with her dinner wrapped up in paper on the desk before her. The teacher advanced to the child and asked her why she didn’t go out with the rest, at the same time putting out her hand toward the package on the desk. Quick as thougt the little girl clasped her hands over it and ex cluimed, sobbing: “Don’t touch it, teacher, and don’t tell, please ! It’s only blocks !” And that, was the fact. Having no dinner to bring, and too proud to re veal tho poverty of her family, the child had carefully wrapped up a number of small blocks in paper und brought the package to present the appearance of a lunch! It wus noth ing; a mere ridiculous incident In school life; but it was sufficient to make wiser and older hearts than hers sad. D*Mth of Cot. I. T. Blount. We wish we were able to pen a notice of this gentleman worthy of his gallantry and bis Integrity. Col. Joe Blount died Thursday morning at his mother’s resi dence, In Talbot county, after a long ill ness from dyspepsia and chronic diarrhea. Col. Blount was first engaged in Colum bus with Maj. W. D. Chipley, the firm be ing Blount A Chipley. Thoy suspended business on account of tho arrest of Mr. Chipley by tlie Fodoral authorities, and his lojig incarceration in prison for an al leged conspiracy. Since that time ho was the senior of Blount A Hannan, engaged in tho manufacture of plows and farming Implements. For some time he'has been in bad health, though ho was constantly traveling in the interest of his house. He had a great number of frienfis In Colum bus, who will regret hearing of his sud den demise. Ills ago was about 35 years. Wben the war commenced he was a cadet at West Point. He entered the service as a lieutenant in Dearing’s Georgia artille ry. In the numerous engagements of the army of Northern Virginia he won the rank of Captain, and then Major, and at Heth’s capture of Plymouth, a Federal supply base on tlie North Carolina coast, he was promoted on tho field to Lieuten ant Colonel of Artillery for gallantry. In that desperate fight he moved his battal ion of artillery in advance of the Confede rate line of battle until the last foothold of tho Federal garrison was taken. A Very Wad Accident. Wo learned from passengers on tlie Western train last night, that Mr. R. Hugh Nesbit, tho Secretary and Treasury of tlie Savannah A Memphis Railroad, had met with a fatal accident. They said he had been out hunting, and that his dog jumped on his gun, discharging one barrel, ami the contents penetrated his side, tore out one eye, and severed the loft ear from his head. Superintendent Green, with a special train, wont after him. Ho was found to be alive, but in groat suffering. I)r. Bar rett, the attending physician, expresses but feeble hopes for his recovery. Wo hope the report of ids injuries are exag gerated, and that ho may recover. Mr. Nesbit has many friends in Columbus, wlia will deeply regret this accident. I'brlKtma.* Eve. Last night—Christmas cve—everything was lively. An amateur troupe of cornet players was formed, and until a late hour they made tho air hideous with untutored music. Fire-crackers were faintly scat tered over the sidewalks and a few Roman candles enlivened tlie occasion. The side walks were well fillod with ladies and gen tlemen in search of Santa Claus. Sharp’s and Layfield’s Boomed to be tlie popular resorts. All the stores were open until a late hour, and each seemed to bo driving a good business. Hurrah for Christmas! It’s a good in stitution, but we object to it because it comes only once a year. % Cloudy Weaiher. Yesterday was warm and cloudy. A good many of our friends who have ordered a big lot of dressed fowls, find it inconve nient and unprofitable to have so many on hand in this weathc*. Oyster and fish dealers are also complaining of the warm weather. Housekeepers are rejoicing, and coal dealers aro grumbling. More Thieving. Tho lower part of Broad street is in fested with thieves. Night before last a couple of dusky complexionod youths broke into tho chicken house of a tele graph operator. They took his Christmas turkey, and in consequence he has post poned his Christmas dinner indefinitely. If ho had only caught the thief, wo think he would havo dispatched him at a light ning rate.

Buy your little boys and girls toys, and go to Layfleld’s for them. Cbigler wants to see all of you to day. He is anxious to, part with a quantity of nfw goods at cost. The boys do not seem to have many fire crackers. “Courtßhip is blis3,”suid an ardent young man. “Yes and matrimony is blister,” suurled an old bachelor. Church festivals are now in order. The members are expected to step up lively and contribute. Whose hogs are those running un molested in the streets? Several not allowed to raise them, desire to know. “Have you any nice fresh farmer’s eggs?” inquired a precise old lady at a grocery store. “N®, ma’am,” re plied tho practical clerk, “but we havo spine very good hen’s eggs.” She took three to try. What are you going to do to-day? Some vxflll go hunting, and ot hers will eat turkey. Prose—Laura ("who is still a trifle romantic,); “Don’t think there is something very solemn about the fall of the dead leaves, Reginald?” Reginald, her husband (who has out grown his romance): “Very,” (Pause). “Talking of dead leaves, what the deuce and all have I done with my tobacco?” An extra police force has been mounted for the week. Who will hold them is now the question. A lady applying for admission to the junior class of an English sem inary, being questioned by the Presi dent as to her qualifications, replied: “I ain’t much of an arithmeticker, but I am an excellent grammarist.” The mule trade is very dull. Eve rybody wants a horse, yet we have one that has not, been noticed by the buyers. The life insurance traffic is about to lie revived in all of its fierceness and glory. Insure your life and be happy. Asa colored resident of Detroit was breasting the storm, with anew um brella over his head, he was halted by a friend and brother, who asked, “Is dat your umbrella?” “Yes, sah — cost me $2,” was the prompt reply. “Mr. Savage,” said the other, very solemnly, “when a man will buy a $2 umbrella to keep tho wetofT’n a flfty cent suit of close, what’s de use to talk about econmy?”—Detroit Free Press.

Don’t take it all at onoe, as more men than yourself have a contract for drinking all thnre is in the city. It is impolite to say a man has “cheek;’,’ say “fuciul area.” Remember the carriers to-day. They have a printed address, and for the sale of that, they will address you to-day. Give them all you can spare and let them be happy. A bachelor returning from a hall in a crowded coach, declared with a groan that he had not the slightest objection to “rings on his fingers,” but he had a most unequivocal aver sion to “belles on his toes.” The Memorial festival was a grand success, and of course the monument will bo built. There is a man in Indiana who takes thirty-two newspapers, and you might as well try to ride a whirlwind on a sidesaddle as to attempt to im pose upon that man. Our modesty only prevented us from publishing a letter of thanks, from the ladies generally, for the Times’ assistance in the cuuse of the monument. We did not inflict any body with a communication on the subject, but their letter was gratui tous, and we appreciated it coming as it did from the noble woman of the land. The Times is always at their service. “I’m married now,” was the excuses Chrcago youth gave a florist for not buying as many bou quets as in former years.

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 laid 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 hits cured her sound and well, brought hor regular monthly peri ods on, and to-duy she is a hearty, bloom ing widow—witli tlie 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 anv benefit.
