the Tombs poured upon his antagonist an ava
anche OF eloqueuce, which he had not learned at
sunday school. but which sustained his extra
ordinary reputation as Ra'lcal orator and lee
turer. His JUDICIAL opponent was evidently
mirdful Of the law Of assault and battery, and
while he spared the majur's feelings for the pre-.
sent, as far as his cane was concerned, promised,
with all thu face OF county reasurer, unheard'
O. canings and thrashings for "lhe next time

A MONSTER. SHARK.-Saturday afternoon,
about O'Clock, the usual shoatlug at the he ad-oi
North Atlantic wharf announced "a bite" and in
a few moments everybody tn the nelghborhood
was hurrying to the wharf. Two or three colored
men had hold OF the line, which came IN so easily
alter the first tug, that all imagined the shark had
got away. When near the wharf, the shark began
to see through 1t, and, turning round, he ran cut
wit tremendous force to the end OF the line.
After performing this feat twice. against the
united strength OF several men. he was steadily
hauled up to the top OF the wafer; and with
couple OF hooks Ia his mouth, and moose around
his tail, YVES speedily hoisted upon the wharf. He
proved to he nne specimen OF the "Carcharus
uulgaris, and measures eleven feet two and half
inches from his snout to the end OF his tall. The
mouth and jaws we're large, and armed with sew.
efal rows OF sharp saw teeth. Upon an auatomi'
cal investigation, the voracious monster was
found to contain several large king craos, nume-
rous pieces or bone, and.a mass OF dark hair, pro-
nounced tc be that OF a human being. This shark
lacks. but few inches OF being as long as the one
caught at this wharf list year, which was the
largest caught in the harbor since the war.

ATLANTA CRY BoSDs.-The general favor
with which the introduction OF these unexcep.
tionable securities have met upon our market
sic, 900 having been disposed OF as soon as oier.
ed-has induced Mr. A. G. Kaufman to place q
few more at the disposal Of investors.
To give an idea OF the extensive railroad traffic
of this section OF the country, traffic which has
built IN this remarkable city and made 1t the
cent-e OF the railroad system South, we would
mention that the income OF the Georgia Railroad,
III miles long, running from Atlanta to Augusta,
for the year 1870, was about ST, 0oo The stock
of this road paying per cent. dividends, regular
IL commands sl03 to ITO per share, and the per
cent. bonds e5 to par. The income Of the Macon
and western Railroad. 1oe miles In length, run
ming from Atlanta to Macon, was about $6o0, 600.
This stock sells from sl05 10 $ll0 and paYs divi
dends Of per cent. The stock OF these roads are
rarely offered and always N demand. The West.
ern and Atlantic Railroad, running from Atlanta,
Ca, to Chattanooga, Tenn, 1as miles long, shows
an increase OF about 81, 800 900. The Atlanta and
Richmond Air Line Railroad, now In process OF
construction. whose termiai are Atlanta and
Charlotte n. G.; Will form most important link
In the through connection between the North
and South, There are how about two thousand
laborers employed upon this road and it ise1pect
ed TO be finished at an early day. Their Hrst
mortgage per cent. bonds, now being negott-
ated BY Messrs. Lancaster, Brown i Co., of New
York. are SO rapidly taken up that they have re-
Gently advanced the price from $S5 to $50, and
only limited number for sale at that figure. This
road will be 225 miles long, and its bonded debt
s1e, 900 to the mile.
We have mentioned these facts to show The con-
hdence Of capltalistsin investments In this Sec
ton, and to reassert our position that the City Of
Atlanta bonds will vie fayorably with any securl.
ty either North or South, and unhesitatingly
commend them to the attention OF parties In
