FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

RANGooN, September 90. Orders were
sent to the acting resident at Mandaley, Bur-
NAH, to leave with his party as soon as he
can without betraying undignifed haste, or
appearance of fear. Some risk to the resi-
dency is inevii able, as long as the King con-
tinues his ogries, surrounded by young ad-
viscrs, too ignorant and hot headed to appre-
ciate the danger of war with England. The
King dislikes having foreigners near him.
Everything is declared quiet at Mandaley,
although the Kings cruelties continue.

In the death of Benjamin Gardiner Davis,
which occurred at his residence on State
street, unday afternoon, our city suffers the
loss of worthy and valuable citizen. The
father of the deceased was Benjamin Davis,

company with his son. The subject of this
article was born in November. 1925, and
consequently would have been fiftv-tour years

medical profession, graduating from a school
in Philadelphia, and practising for a short time
in the hospitals in that city. From there he
went to Boston and engaged in the mercan-
tile and manufacturing business with his
brother. Going from this city he was settled in
business in San Francisco for number ofyears.
Returning from California, Mr.. Davis came to
Augusta and entered his fathers Office to
assist him in the insurance business, finally
becoming his partner under the firm name of
b. Davis 4 Co. Mr.. Davis continued in this
business till his death, and was very success
full in it. He always gained the utmost con-
tidence of the companies he represented and
retained the fullest confidence of those whom
he insured. He was one-half owner in the

many friends in Augusta and throughout
