bulldog by the name of Rather, and one
day little Italian came along with an
organ and a monkey, and rs the crowd
gathered around, he asked the man if his
monkey conld fight. '-Oh, fight dog?''
said Moore. ''Oh, yes. he fight dog-he
whip dog quick said the Italian. Moore
pulled ont five dollar bill, and said,
I'll bet you this Eve got dog that he
can't whip" The little fellow covered ii
with another five, and they went through
to the back yard, followed by half The
folks in the little town. There lay the
dog on the grass asleep, and at the word
the Italian tossed the monkey upon him.
In less than a jiffy the little brute had
his teeth and claws fastened,like wise in
the stump Of that dogs tail, and was
screeching like hyena. The dog gave
but one astonished look behind as he
bounced to his feet and made tracks for
another country. The monkey hcldon
until Rather sprang over ten-rail fence
at the back of the garden, when he sud-
denly quit his hold and sat on the top
rail and watched the dogs flight with
chatter of perfect satisfaction, and danced
along the rail with delight. The crowd
was conyulsed. They laughed and roar
ed and hollered unanimously, all but old
man Moere, whose voice could u. heard
above all others rs he stood upon the
fence and shouted: ssHere, Ra11lar! lere.

A Meeting to be Held at LOuisvil
Next Wednesday.

General Commissioner Powers, of the
Southern Railway and Steamship Asso-
citation, has issued a circular calling
meeting of the Executive Committee at
Louisville on Wednesday, Sept. 3, when
the condition of the Macon and Atlanta

East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia

gether with the letters of General Mama
ger Green, of the Georgia Railroad, and
President Raoul, of the Central, IN which
Mr.. Raoul says:
1 beg to remind you that about this time
last wear the Central Railroad withdrew GER
tam lines from the pool, taking eject sept.
of last year. This was objected TO, ana an
arbitration decided that we had no right to
withdraw from the pool till the close of the
year, for which we had agreed, by contract,
to maintain the rules and laws of the assOcia-
ton This, | think, likes the matter con-
clusively that no company has the right to
withdraw during the association year, and
beg to notify you, and through you the partles
protect its agreement with all parties till the
expiration of the present year, for which we
are under contract until Jan. !, 1885"

THEIR CHARLESTON TRIP.
The Cadets Talk ever the Incidents of
Their Visit to Brighton Beach.


Their Visit to Brighton Beach.
The Savannah Cadets Armory was the
scene of a happy gathering last night of
the Cadets and their friends who accom-
panied them to Sulliyan's Island last
week. Pay member F. NJ. Jones was one
of the happiest men there. Upon that
memorable visit of the corps Mr.. Jones
arranged a compliment to its members in
the way OF a case of champagne.
The opportunity for presenting it did
not occur, but last night as the Cadets en-
tered the armOry they were rendered the
compliment winch their admiring friend
and member sought to bestOw upon them.
In the centre of the hall stood a table
with two huge bowls surrounded
with glasses suggestive of the
cheer which such occasions always bring.
At the words sfall in" the corps dropped
into the seats which had been arranged
about the table, and Lieut.. Brooks in his
usual happy manner announced the &C.
casiOn OF the gathering, and in acknOwl-
edgment of the compliment which had
been rendered the corps proposed the
health of Pay member Jones. MIR.
Jones responded briefly to the toast and the
festivities began.
Private p. J. O'ConnOr of the Irish
Jasper Greens, as a member of that gal
liant corps who was with the Cadets at
Charleston, was called upon and respond
ed in a happy speech full OF humOr and
the DIeasantries of the visit. Sergt. NJ. A.
O'Byrne, another of the Green's detach-
ment who was there, although bashful
and diffident, on being called
upon, managed to tell the boys
how they behaved and how proudly
their friends watched them as they
moved through the drill on the New
Brighton beach, and won the plaudits of
all who saw them. Others who were
present and were called upon, paid
tribute to the gallant corps whose guests
they were. The entire evening was spent
in speech and song and in recalling
the incidents of the trip so full of
pleasure to every one who went.
The Charleston military, who added
to It's pleasures by their courteous
attentions were not forgotten. Lieut..
Brooks paid a glowing tribute to Capt.
Redding, of the. Montgomery Guards, who,
during the two days the Cadets were at
New Brighton, did whatever lay in his
power TO make their stay all that it could
be. In conclusion he proposed his health.
The company arose, and the health was
drank with three cheers and a tiger for
Capt. Redding. The health Of the Mont
gOmerv Guards was also drank. and that
OF theICadets' absent commander, Capt.
Branch.
At the close of the evening Alderman
O'ConnOr. in behalf of the que SITS, pro-
