Globe, " owned by Commodore Kitson, of
New York, and Louis Baker, late of the
Wheeling Register, is the possessor of an
unusually valuable and interesting heir
loom. 1t is an Cdd-fashioned mirror of
German make, set in a high oval frame
that has turned black with age. On tbs
back of the mirror, carved in tortuous
characters, is an inscription reciting that
the miEEor was presented to the Dunmore
family, of England, by the Prince of
Sake Coburg as ap heirloom. The date of
the inscription is 1859. When Lord Dun
more came to England as Governor OF Vir-
ginia, he brought the mirror with him, and
it hung in the parlor of the executive
mansion in Williamsburg. When Dun.
more fled from Virginia before the colo.
NAL troops he left the mirror with other
articles, and they were confscated
by the State government, and afterwards
offered for sale at auction. The mirror
was bid in by Henry Miller f0f three hun
dred pounds sterling. Miller paid for bis
purchase in iron made at his furnace on
Messy Creek. The iron was afterwards
cast into cannon. This was the first fur
aace erected in Virginia. From Mr.. Mil

The Death of DR.. Robert G. Eve.

Friday night, at fifteen minutes before
nine o'clock. DR.. Robert G, Eve died at
the RESIDENCE 81 mis- father, On Greene
street. His Illness was brief one, and,
though for many years he had been . suf-
ferer, yet this sudden and terrible allliction
falls none the less heavily upon his heart
broken family. who, though knowing of
his feeble health, had .fondly hoped to see
many years added to his lfe.
Dir. Robert G. Eve was the san Of Dr..
Joseph A. Eqe, the venerable physician of
this city, and was born in Augusta, May
Is, 1913. After completing his course in
the Richmond Academy, he went to Emory
college, at Oxford. The war coming on,
he left his studies and the quiet walks of q
students life. and, at the age of seven
teen. entered the array, joining the Ogle-
thorpe infantry, First Georgia regiment,
at that time stationed at Pensacola, Flor
ida. From thence he went to Virginia
and, having graduated in medicine at the
Richmond (Va.) medical college, he was
commissioned assistant surgeon in the
Confederate States army before he was
twenty years Of age. To the close Of the
war he served With honar ana credit in
the hospitals of Staunton, Richmond and
other places. One month before tie close
of the war, In March, 1865, he married
Miss Willie Hartman, daughter Of the late
Colonel M. G. Hartman, Of Staunton, Va
Here in his Virginia home he stayed until
1870, when he returned to Augusta to
pursue the practice of medicine, his be-
loved profession. Soon after his return
he was ELECTED professaF Of materia med
lea and therapeutics in the Medical col
lege Of Georgia, Of which his father was
one of the founders. In 1888 he was
elected to the chair of principles and prac-
tice OF medicine in the same institution,
succeeding the venerable and distinguished
DR.. L. d. Ford. This position he filled
with much ability and satisfaction, and
retained it until his death.
His married life was eng Of great happi-
ness and was blessed with seven children,
all boys, five of whom are now living to
be the comfort and support of their sor-
rowing mother.
Dr. Robert Eve was fine type of intel
lectual and chivalrous manhood, upon
whom nature had bestowed many gifts.
He possessed high intellectual powers, flu
ent oolloqulal faculties, graceful manners,
and was cordial in his companionship.
His practice was a favored one and his
patients loved him for his sympathy and
kindness. His hand was liberal in it's
charity to the poor wherever he went, and
in his work at the hospitals among the des
titute sick he was ever thoughtful, tender,
obllging and attentive. His face will be
missed among these unfortunates, where
he was willing to labor so constantly. AS
a man. as a friend, us u son, as q brother,
as husband and father he will be sorely
missed i'll the coming years. augusta

OBITUARY.

From the Amherst Ne,o Era we copy the fol-
lowing excellently written tribute to the men,
DRY of Mr.. A. E. Davidson, brother of the
Messrs. Davidson of this county:
Departed this life on the morning of the Goth
January, 1885, at Fair View (the residence OF his
after brief illness of typhoid fever, Albert
Edward Davidson, aged 20 years, moaths ana
90 days.
IL has been only a few 1poDths past since we
met our lamented friend, and having constant
ly enjoyed the pleasure of his association we
feel called upon to pay this feeble tribute to the
memory Of mis- moral worth, and to express our
grief for the irreparable loss we have to sus-
tain. When we look back over an interval of
but few short days, when we saw him in all
the bloom of manhood, with every promise of
mature years, it is hard indeed to contemplate
the awful reality that he has gone, and that we
shall no more behold his cheerful face or TO
catch the familiar sound of his merry laugh,
but we bow with a heavy heart and submit to
the will of Him whose Ways are higher than our
thoughts. We respected, admired and loved
the young man for his many qualities OF head
apd heart. Truth, honesty and fidelity were
among the shining lights that marked his brief
pilgrimage here below. Generous TO a fault
full of sympathy-always ready with helping
dispondent and suffering humanity. When his
alarming condition became apparent, the uD~
welcome message was sounded over the wires
and whispered in distant mothers ear. All ;
who can fathom the sacred chambers of a
motner's heart and find the depths Of q moth
er's love for a child,
Who over mountains rode through
Winters ice, and chilly blasts
To see her darling son breathe his last.
But it was too late-he had bid farewell to
kind friends who We're present. who had done
all that mortals could to alleviate his suffer-
ings. The bells of Heaven had been rung, and
in obedience to the Divine command the spirit
of the good Young man had bounded over the
clouds and gone TO q land where sorrow and
ieath is never known. We learn that in his
poyhQod he profesaaSl faith in Christ and Joined

Street Corner Notes.

A panic feeling pervades business cir
Giles. No sooner is rumor OF failure
started than it is borne on the wings OF
the wind and if the rumor were unfounded
1t would be apt to precipitate the disaster.
The very atmosphere seems full OF suspl-
cion. The staunchest houses are pulling
in sail and curtailing expenses to a mini
mum. Over-caution appears to have singed
the wings of enterprise and confidence,
and business venture finds no place in the
days transactions. Not only is this feeling
manifest here, but in every section OF the
Union the same conditions obtain. 1t is
not so much in the lack Of money as it is
the lack of confidence in the future. The
millions paid in dividends on the ilrst 'oi
January, have apparently been locked IN
strong vaults and no allurement can tempt
them to investments, until the prevailing
feeling of apprehension passes away.

AN OUTRAGEOUS AssAULT.-}no. Long
was before Judge Smith of the Hastings
Court on Saturday charged with a very
serious offence. Mr.. Abe. Switzer testi-
fed that on the day before he was one of
the jury which found Jos. Crowder guilty
of keeping disorderly house, and had
fixed heavy fine. AS he was leaving the
Court, Long called him to one side and re-
marking that he lSwitzerI had earned
dollar quick" told him be would have to
60 with him. Switzer demurfed, when
Long caught hold Of the lapels of his coat
and pulled him into side alley, where he
struck him several severe blows over the
head with his fist. Long was arrested and
fined 500 and costs by the Mayor for as
sault. Judge Smith asked the witness if
he had any reason to believe that the as
sault was made in consequence Of the YER
dict. Witness replied that he knew of no
other reason, as he had always been
friendly with Long, and was not conscious
of having offended him in any other way.
The court then asked Mayor Gordon If
he had reason to believe that the assault
was made in consequence of the Jury's
verdict, and he replied that that was his
opinion. During the triad he had seen
Long, who was great friend of the house
under consideration, in earnest conversa-
tion with one Of his companions, and he
had also closely observed his behavior after
tho i,lrv wac dismissed
Long then came forward and acknowl-
edged that he had made the assault, stat
ing that lie was SO drunk he didn't know
what he was doing. He humbly apologized
for his conduct and was willing to get
down on his knees to everybody in the
Courthouse if necessary"
The judge fined the accused $40 and
sent him to Jail for 10 days. In pronounce
ing the sentence the court said that but
for the fact that the accused was poor
man and had made such an humble apol-
ogy, much heavier penalty would have
been inflicted. The offence was one of
the gravest known and struck at the very
foundation of government. Under the
circumstances, however, he was disposed
to be lenient.
