Attacked With Rocks

a laughable incident occurred at the
corner of Avenue last evening. A
white man was holding conversation
with two colored beauties, and while
doing so their SWANS came along, and
under the influence of chagrin and jeal-
ousy, amused themselves by throwing
rocks at the white man. The assault
became so heavy that the white gentle
man took to his heels and sought refuge
In neighboring saloon amid the laugh

Come and drain cup Of Joy,
Now with me, good wife,
And bring the girl and boy
Now with thee, good wife.
Let all hearts be blithe and gay,
1t is fourteen years to-day
Since you spake the little AYE"
That to me was life.
When in wedding white arrayed
beheld you stand,
Why, almost felt afraid
Fen to touch your hand.
And when with love intent
Your gaze on me you bent,
You seemed being sont
From the "Better Land"
And an angel you have proved
Since that good glad hour,
Aye, wherever we have roved
In sunshine and shower.
In all goodness you transcend,
And all excellences blend
In the mother, wife, and friend,
As a sacred dover.
You have made my life more pure
Than it might have been;
You have taught me to endure,
And to strive and win.
With your simple song of praise
You sanctlfy our days,
And our thoughts to heaven you raise
From world of sin.
Come, let's quit the dusty town
With its noise and strife,
And seek the breezy down
That with health is rife.
Work is good and so is play,
Let us keep our wedding-day
Der the hills and far away,
Happy man and wife.

Last year the voyages on the New ! Ork
line footed 1872, and on the Philadelphia
line %. The masters are united IN re-
porting continuous improvement in the
river channel, under the operations Of The
Iited states engineers, and their sue
cessful N yement OF the steamers up and
down the river, much OF II at night, must
attest this fact, as we'll as their own good
management.
During the year your board pur-
chased property east Of the Savannah
an Ogeectee canal, known as the Central
Cotton Press and Warehouse, and d.
Nlded from YOUR present wharf property
by the Savannah and Ogeechee canal 1t
consists OF a lot Of land fronting 626
feet on the Savannah river.
216 feet on the Ogeechee canal, aud
iO3 feet on River street, also the vacant
lots lying Between River and Indian
streets and Canal street and the Lachli-
son foundry property.
This gives the company not only pos
session of ample warehouse room for sto-
rage OF large amounts Of accumulated cot
ton for its own aud foreign ships, but an
extended addition to its wharf front, at
which many ships can load direct, and en-
a0les the cotton destined for vessels lying
along the city front to be delivered by
lighters instead OF by drays. The convey
ance was made and possession given on
July 81. The purchase amounted TO $685.
105 SO. and was paid for out Of the accum-
ulated reserve fund Of the company.
after the burning Of Gamacraw in 1888
your board proposed to the city to erect a
substantial iron bridge over the canal at
the expense Of the company, at the foot
Of Joachim NOW Bay street, il the city
would open Joachim from Bay street to
the canal and increase its width. This
was accepted by the city, and the work
has been completed.
1.-The service OF the steamers, while per-
formed with great regularity and freedom
from disaster, was subjected to two seri-
Gus outbreaks Of fire. One was discover
ed on the NacOOchee, bound to New York,
when of Charleston, Nov. IL, at p. m.
II was located in the lower between
decks forward, and Capt. KemptOn took
energetic measures for its control, aided
by the hearty and seamanlike work
Of his officers and crew. The
cargo suffered considerable damage, the
steamer escaping with comparatively lit
tie loss. Again, on Dec. 10, fire broke out
on the City of Augusta, at 3 a. m, while
berthed at Savannah. 1t was at once To-
Gated in the forward hold, which. with
quick assistance, was soon flooded, the
cargo in that compartment being the only
one to suffer damage, and the steamer
sustaining slight injury. Both these fires
broke out in the cotton on board. and no
certain or satisfactory conclusion can be
reached as to their cause or origin"

FESTIVE DRUMMERs.

From the Chattanooga Times.


From the Chattanooga Times.
On one of the trains which arrived in
this city about O'Clock Monday night
were two gay and festive drummers
whose faces are very familiar to large
number OF Chattanooga merchants. The
two knights of the grip had been blessed
with a splendid trade for the past week,
and in consequence were in excellent IT.
its. After supper they concluded that a
little game of draw poker would be very
agreeable, provided they could find a third
party of the ''sucker" stripe, who would
not know quite as much about the game
as they did. In the course of their search
they found a young man well known in the
city. VINO they "sized up' as a desirable
victim. The young man readily agreed to
take hand, and accompanied the two
drummers to room. The "ante" was by
40 means small, and 10 bet the limit meant
to shove up big pile OF red ivory chips.
The game "see-sawed" for some time, but
about midnight the supposed sucker bad
a streak OF luck Finally, there was big
"iack pot" and when all three had bet
their last cent the Chattanooga laid
down four aces, and the drummers were
paralyzed and retired. Yesterday MORN

increase according to the season. There
are at least seven annual generations in
Southern Texas. The second generation
is generally very injurious. The chyrs-
ais never winters under ground. Burial
would kill it. Many other moths are
often mistaken for the cotton worm moth.
After giving the history OF the worm and
the remedies that nave been tried, a COM
plete anatomy Of the worm is submitted
and the general features of the cotton
belt are gwen. The first worms ever seen
IN this country were confined TO tue low
lands and TO luXurant plants. They
were never found except in sheltered
places. Severe rains and gales destroy
worms as well as crops. Frequent warm
rains in the summer develop the worm,
while dry, hot weather destroys them. Ar
tificial drought also kills them. The worms
are shown TO have great immunity from
their enemies in wet weather, as In wet
weather the ants cannot fight them and
the cotton cannot be worked.
A large number of birds and insects
feast upon the cotton worm. Among
csc are toads, Lizards, wasps, ants,
beetles, lady birds, and various parasites.
Remedies are largely discussed in the
volume. 1t is held that it is impracticable
to destroy the eggs. There is also little
chance for successful destruction of the
chrysalis. The only thing left, therefore,
is to destroy the moth. This can be done
by building fires at night. Lamps have
worked well in some instances. Tue cleo
trio light is very successful in attracting
the moth. The experiments with poisoned
sweets and fluids of one kind and another
is successful when employed early in the
season. There is little use of doing any
thing of this kind late in the summer.
There is great attraction tor the moth in
cotton leaf essence. OF all the various
insect poisons, arsenic is considered the
best and safest. All the various patent
compounds are fully discussed, and
opinions given as to their effectiveness.
In this article 1t is impossible to say
anything of the various machines and
devises for the destruction OF the worm.
