11. ESTII.L, Savannah, Ga. C. GOODRICH, Northern Advertising Manager of the Daily Morning News and Weekly News, Sun Budding, New York. Owing to an unexpected delay in the completion of Mr.

work, which the author regrets as deeply' as we do, we are unfortunately compelled to postpone for a week or two the continuation of the series ot New American Stories so brilliantly opened by the of Mr. Henry Field as a Presidential candidate is not in the field. The action of the California Democracy seems to have caused him to take to the woods. Wfte it not for the fact that he lives in the benighted State of Ohio, ex-Senator Thurman might loom up as a wonderfully strong Presidential candidate. Secretary Lincoln has not been considered by any means a profound man.

His silence since the late convention, however. has ijeen most conspicuously profound. den. (irant and Col. Fred are actually going to move into the ctdebrated cottage at Long Branch for the summer, while poor partner Ward languishes behind the bars of his dungeon.

Her Majesty the Queen might save a good deal in buying statues of Brown if she would enter into a contract to have them cast by the dozen, and thus get them at wholesale rates. The Chicago Times suggests as a good name for some of the Blaine clubs. Blaineis probably the most statesman that ever ran for the Presidency of the United States. The illustrated newspapers must give up all their claims to enterprise unless they will give the hero worshipers of the country a true portrait of Bradford, the tattooed substitute of the plumed knight. Nast, the artist of Weekly, is lieinir severely criticised in art circles for drawing an elephant with the knees of bis hind legs turned the wrong way.

One of the illustrations in dictionary exhibits a similar mistake. A Philadelphia firm makes a specialty of selling $lO silk suits to servant girls on the installment plan, requiring weekly payments of sl. It is thought that the servants of that city will soon outshine their mistresses in the matter of dress. Mobile is organizing and actively preparing for the grand inter-State military encampment to be held in that city. The time has not been fixed, but it is intended to eclipse the late display at Houston, and to make the occasion a notable one in the history of the South.

The Philadelphia papers repeat the report that Gen. Grant has withdrawn from the Madison Avenue Congregational Church in New York. It may be that in the midst of the misfortunes of his creditors he is too full for utterance, as limited by the rules of genuine orthodoxy. The continuance of the Atlantic coast fast mail service is assured. The House yesterday agreed to the necessary increase in the appropriation.

The Senate has been favorable from the beginning. Postmaster General Gresham is entitled to a good deal of credit for the earnest way in which he has this matter to a successful issue. Rev. lr. McFerrin, the distinguished Methodist minister whose obituary was extensively published last winter, has been making a visit to East Tennessee, where his first missionary labors were performed.

On the instant he delivered the baccalaureate address for Uiwassee College. The Doctor appears to be in better health than for many years past. The United States Circuit Court at New York has entered a nolle prosequi in the ease of Singleton, the manager of the Grand Opera House, who was indicted for refusing to sell tickets of admission to the dress circle to a negro. The court decided that the civil rights bill so far as it bears on this subject is unconstitutional. It is probable that the people of this country will not recover from the J.angtry craze until the Ilessian Grand grass widow.

Mine. Kalomine, is induced by some enterprising manager to come over the water. She is said to be so much prettier and naughtier than the Jersey Lily that she would go up head in thirdclass Gotham society at once. The Xew York Stock Exchange and Chicago Board of Trade are uniting in an effort to break up the bucket shops where bootblacks and small clerks speculate in st ock on margins. It is alleged that these shops indirectly encourage theft from employers and injures the several exchanges.

It appears to be a case of the big sharks trying to root the little ones out, so they cau have all the prey to themselves. The Xew York police are not pleased at Anthony showing them how tansy it is to catch aristocratic gamblers in the very act of violating the law. The police have heretofore stoutly maintained that they were powerless to break up gambling, and that whenever they made a raid they found the gaming houses deserted. Of course some of the police officials always posted the gamblers in regard to the raids about to be made. The Chicago yews, in searching into General ante-bellum record, finds that this idol of the negroes was a rabid Democratic negro hater.

It charges him with being the author of a law, which passed the Illinois Legislature in 1853, prohibiting negroes, whether bond or free, from entering that State with the intention of residing therein. For a violation of the law negroes were to be fined SSO for the first offense, and the fine was increased SSO for each subsequent offense. The strawberry wave has passed over Virginia and Maryland, and the markets -of the great cities are now being supplied from the fertile fields of Xew Jersey. The first strawberries received in Philadelphia this season were shipped from Gainesville, Florida, and were sold on the Ifth of February at $3 per quart box. The Xew Jersey berries now bring from 15 to 20 cents per box.

The Xew York crop will begin to appear in the market about the Ist of July, and those from Maine about the first of August. A Scheme to be Watched. A report has found its way here from Washington that to have as many protectionists chosen as delegates to the Chicago Convention from this State as possible, was in course of development there last week. The report further says that a list of delegates-at-large was made out with the purpose of having it fished in the Georgia papqjs, with 1 the statement that the names thereon were prominently mentioned at the capital for those positions. We are satisfied that all the names on the list would not meet the approval of a majority of the Georgia delegation in Congress, and we are certain that all would not meet the I approval of any' considerable portion of the people ol this State.

The Washington schemers ought to know, if they do not, that the people of Georgia are able to think for themselves and to look after their own interests. The selection of those in the Washington list as delegates-at-large would be a condemnation of the course of nine of the ten Georgia Representatives with respect to the tariff question, and it is safe to say that the people of Georgia are not really to condemn their Representatives for trying to reduce the tariff. The Washington scheme, however, does not have for its main object the condemnation of the course of anybody, and if we are not mistaken it is confined to the State of Georgia. It is a part oi a quiet movement to nominate Samuel J. liandall for President.

Mr. Randall has known all along that Mr. Tilden would not be a candidate, although if the newspaper reports do not do him an injustice he pretended to believe that Mr. Tilden would be the nominee. The reason for thinking that he knew it is that statement after statement of his visits to Mr.

Tilden has been published, and it is reasonable to suppose that political matters were discussed at these visits. Mr. Tilden, in his letter, says frankly that he told all who discussed the question of his candidacy with him that he should not allow the use of his name. It is not reasonable to suppose, therefore, that so astute a politician as Mr. Randall was in the dark as to Mr.

Tilden's intention. It was to his interest to keep the impression alive that Tilden would accept a nomination, because it held the delegates together. Now Mr. Tilden is out of the way, an effort, in a quiet way, is being made to have protectionists chosen as delegates to Chicago. If the tariff question is kept in the background and the right sort of wire-pulling is done, it will be easy to get a goodly number of protectionists in the convention.

For several weeks there has been reason to suspect that a master hand was in a quiet way shaping the character of the Atlanta Convention of the IBth. The movements of this hand have so gentle that even those who were affected hardly realized the pressure. Earnest tariff reformers, without any apparent reason, have shown a disposition not to abandon their principles, but to be less outspoken and emphatic in the expression of them. All of this goes to show what skillful political management can do. A little taffy, delicately and judiciously administered, is a great power.

What the Atlanta Convention must guard against is the selection of delegates who do not represent the people of the State with respect to the most important issue before the country. If the indications are correct that efforts are being made to pack the National Convention with protectionists, it is plain, of course, that an attempt is to be made to put a doubtful and meaningless tariff plank in the platform, and, perhaps, to nominate a protectionist for President. A Hopeful Reformation. Advices from Texas indicate that it is advancing as rapidly in civilization and refinement as it is in population and wealth. It is stated that the evidence of this advance is specially conspicuous in the decadence of the habit of carrying deadly weapons.

The popular idea that the typical Texan is always loaded and likelv to go oil with murderous effect on the slightest provocation or through mere caprice is no longer correct. Even in the last two or three months the diminution in the number of homicides reported in that State has been noticeable, and the better people say that the shooting-iron age in Texas lias gone never to return. A few years ago few citizens of Texas would have dared to leave home without being armed with a revolver of the most approved pattern. The reign of crime in that State reached such a state, that reaction took place earlier than was expected, and the better people of the State determined to effect a reformation. The ministers, the newspapers and the courts urged unrelenting war on the revolver, and on homicides.

Several popular preachers took the stump and canvassed the State against the custom of carrying concealed weapons. The courts began to enforce the law, and it is asserted that today the practice of carrying revolvers is no more common in Texas than in the older States of the Union. Not only is this true as regards Texas, but the custom ot carrying concealed weapons is fast becoming obsolete all over the South. If the metropolitan newspaper reports are to be believed, there are many more pistols carried in New York city, in proportion to population, than in the State of Georgia. Tne people are determined to tame, or exterminate, ruffians and bullies, and when the country is rid of these-classes the carrying of deadly weapons will be entirely a thing of the past.

Bloxham anti Drew. Florida appears to be prett w'ell stirred up by the contest which the supporters of Gov. Bloxham and those of ex-Gov. Drew are waging to secure the gubernatorial nomination for their respective favorite. Gov.

Bloxham is credited with saying that he is not a candidate, and it is alleged that ex-Gov. Drew has remarked that he care whether he got the nomination or not. Nevertheless, their respective supporters have aroused a feeling throughout the State that mar find vent in the nomination of some one whose name has not yet been brought prominently forw'ard in the canvass. There does not appear to be any occasion for an exhibition of feeling between the supporters of Bloxham and Drew. Both candidates have claims on the party, and no doubt the conservative sentiment of the State is that they both have served their party well.

For Drew is claimed the credit of having rescued the State irom carpet-baggers, and for Bloxham that he has given the State an administration so admirable as to add materially to its prosperity. Doubtless when the present contest is settled and the nomination made, the ranks of the party will close up and the battle for the victory in November will lie fought with so much zeal and skill as to insure success. The tact is that the party in B'lorida cannot afford to encourage faction fights. The margin by which it holds the State is too small. A little bad blood, or a feeling of indifference would be sufficient to wipe out the margin and let the State slip back under Republican control.

We hope that the action of the Pensacola convention will be such as will give general satisfaction, and call out the full strength of the party at the polls. The respite granted by Gov. McDaniel to Jack Barrett, who was to have been hanged at Perry Friday, was made in compliance with the request of a number of leading citizens of Houston county. It is alleged that the condemned man slew his adversary in defense of his honor. I THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY.

JUNE 15, 1884. International Electric Exhibition. Comparatively few people in the country appreciate the wonderful progress that has been made in the electrical science during the last few years. A decade ago the idea of having an internanational electric exhibition in the United States in which any one except scientific men would feel an interest would have been considered the extreme of folly. Now, however, the laws governing this mysterious force have became so well known to those who have studied them, and it has been applied to so many useful and unique purposes, that thousands take a deep interest In its development, and the possibilities of invention connected with it may lie considered almost limitless.

The Franklin Institute of Philadephia has determined to hold an international electric exhibition during the coming fall, and all the countries of the civilized world have been invited to make exhibits in all classes of appliances connected with the subject. Electric exhibitions have already been held by France, England, Germany and Austria, and it has been demonstrated that electricity in its applications has passed from the experimental stage to that of practical necessity. The bulletin of the institute gives a synopsis of the classification of the proposed exhibits. The first section will be devoted to apparatus for the production of electricity. The second section will embrace electrical conductors, wires, cables, insulators, etc.

The third will contain instruments for measurement of the speed and force of electricity. The fourth section will be the most interesting of all to the general public. It will devoted to the applications of electricity in the arts, sciences and industries of the world. The vast number of purposes to which it has already been applied will be shown in a striking and systematic manner, which will not only be instructive in a high degree, but suggestive of the field of research still open to the etudit and the inventor. There can be little doubt that electricity will be the most useful servant of man in the future.

Its application to telegraphy, the telephone, microphone, photophone, lighting, fire and burglar alarms, annunciators, and electric clocks, as well as in firing blasts, are already in use in all civilized countries. It is being also applied in spinning and weaving, in dentistry, in surgery, and the treatment of diseases, to traps and snares, musical instruments, writing and printing, toys, for the transmission and conversion of heat and power, and for many other purposes. The proposed exhibition can scarcely fail to give anew impetus to the study of electricity and the development and perfection of inventions connected therewith, and no doubt its influence on the future of almost every industry in the country will be great and lasting. Marriage Laws. A curious divorce case is being tried in Boston which brings out with startling distinctness the difference between the marriage laws of New York and Massachusetts.

The defendant is a wealthy cotton broker. The plaintiff has been recognized as his wile for sixteen years. As husband and wife they have been recognized by a wide circle of friends and acquaintances. They have spent seasons at the most popular summer resorts together, and have visited and received visits without ever having excited a suspicion that they were not what they pretended to be. The name appears on a number of deeds, where she acknowledges that she signs away her right of dower, and she has a large number of letters signed affectionate To the petition tor divorce the defendant replied were never The story, as related by the woman, is that she entered into the marriage relation with the defendant in New York sixteen years ago.

There was no ceremony, but they made to each other a solemn declaration of marriage, which she, at the time, believed was binding. At that time the defendant was in moderate circumstances. He accumulated wealth rapidly, until at present he is one of the rich men of Boston. A year ago he quietly married and refused to provide for, or have anything to do with the plaintiff. Under the laws of New York there was a marriage, but under the laws of Massachusetts there was not.

In the latter State ceremony by a magistrate or clergyman is necessary to constitute a binding marriage. If the court holds that the parties to the suit were married, the defendant will have to share his fortune with the plaintiff, and will also be liable to punishment for bigamy. The second marriage will, of course, be void. But whatever way the court decides, one of the two women is bound to suffer, and so far the facts show neither of them deserves to suffer. All the trouble was brought about by the difference in the marriage laws of two States.

The marriage and divorce laws of all the States ought to be alike. The memory of the late Dr. Samuel D. Gross is to be honored by the establishi ment of a memorial chair of pathological surgery in someone of the leading medical colleges of the country. A circular is to be addressed to medical men throughout the world to solicit their assistance in the endowment of the A committee of 150 of the best known physicians in this country and Europe will be appointed to aid the committee from the Jefferson College alumni in raising the endownment fund.

The report of the loss of several whaling schooners off the coast ot Greenland from being crushed in the ice causes increased interest in the voyage of the Greeley relief expedition. Nothing has been beard from the relief s'earners since they sailed from St. F. If the expedition has succeeded reaching Baffi Bay in safety, it will no doubt be able hear something from the Greeley party by the middle of July. Advices can scarcely be expected to reach the United States, however, before the latter part of August.

As an appendix to the report of the Department of Agriculture of Georgia for May, Commissioner Henderson gives another lecture, translated from the French of the distinguished agricultural authority, Prof. Yille, on stock and stock raising. The paper is minute and exhaustive, and, at the same time, is replete with information and suggestions of gregt practical value. No doubt the intelligent farmers into whose hands these lectures may fall from time to time will read them with great interest, and encourage the Commissioner to continue their publication in his reports. CURRENT COMMENT.

A Shameless Party. Few York Graphic The Republican party has been in power twenty-four years. It is the party of whisky route villainy, and navy department jobs. It is also the party of vulgar wealth secured through a long term of power. How much longer will it flash its stolen diamonds and exhibit its stolen monev in the belief that only this is necessary to its success? President Tilden'g Noble Farewell.

Boston Post He appoints no political legatee. He leaves the party free from embarrassments, and his farewell letter, so grand in its utterances, so noble in all its parts, ought to be an inspiration to the men who would have supported him, had his consent been given, to devote their most unselfish labors and purposes to meeting the matchless opportunity which the Democratic convention will present. No Man So Grand. Detroit Free Press No man in the history of the country ever held as unique or on the whole as grand a position as Mr. Tilden occupies to-day.

A rightfully elected President of the United States, he has lived to see his competitor, who was elected to office by fraud, sink into obscurity, if not contempt, while he has at his command a nomination for the Presidency which he does not need as an honor and which he feels he cannot accept as a trust. Tlie Plumed Knight's Magnetism. Mew York World There is unquestionable something about him that draws men to him. He drew Bob Ingersolllong ago; he drew all the star routers; he fascinated the worst elements in the Chicago Convention; he attracts Jay Gould and Russell Sage and Chauncey Depew and all the monopolists and railroad jobbers, and finally he fascinates the Tribune, which has all along been the organ of Toryism, class legislation and monopoly. There can lie no doubt of Mr.

He has always, in seeking even the noblest ends, preferred secrecy to openness, indirectness to directness, the crooked to the straight road, the whisper to the loud voice, and the result has been a reputation which is probably far below his merits as a statesman. The way in which he lost the Presidency in 1876 would doubtless have given him a strong and permanent hold on the sympathy of large numbers outside his own party but for the discovery that his friends had been fighting the devil with fire on his behalf and apparently with his connivance.

The South Carolina cipher dispatches and the Oregon negotiations were a dreadful episode in the history of a martyr, and must always rob Mr. role in the contest of 1876 of the impressiveness and solemnity with which he not unnaturally wishes to surround it in the eyes of posterity.

It appears that they were guilty of this cruelty in the belief that the child was an old man or fairy, left as a substitute for the real child, whom they had received to take care of. The Medical Journal states that at a recent trial in this city, an expert, under crossexamination, was asked if he recognized certain books as authorities concerning the matter in hand. He replied that he was familiar with all the books mentioned, and considered them as authorities. The witness was then allowed to leave the stand, and the clerk was sworn.

He testified that the titles of the works in question were fictitious, having been concocted in the office to which he was attached.

Fishermen around Fultoiv Market, New York, crowded around a big lobster on Fisli Commissioner fish stand Wednesday morning.

is one of the biggest I ever said a grizzly old coast fisherman. The lobster was two feet long, and his tail spread out as large as a fan. His eves stuck out like marbles glued to the end of two sticks. From the point of one claw across his back to the tip of the other claw he measured 42 indies. The claw was 7 inches across, and nearly a foot long.

The lobster was from Boston. The Russian General, Safonowitch, conceived a plan for enabling cavalry regiments to cross rivers without making bridges or seeking fordable places. His soldiers carried rubber bags, which were attached to the saddles on eacli side and inflated as soon as the horses reached the water. The experiment resulted'in a queer discovery. When the horses found themselves buoyed up, they refused to make use of their legs, and simply drifted along with the current.

This was a strike against kicking for which the General was totally unprepared. Now, however, the rubber bags are tied together and used to carry the saddles, arms, which are hauled across while the unencumbered horses swim over easily. Everyone knows the reverence with which a French novelist generally speaks of a stock broker. In France, where there are only sixty of them permitted by law, the novelists in question are perfectly justified. Some interesting details published in the Journal des Kconomistes show this more fully.

In when there were only fivesecurities quoted on the French Bourse, the position was worth now the price ranges between $300,000 and $400,000. This, however, does not represent the total capital sunk in the business. The intending stock broker has to give security to the extent of $50,000, then to pay $30,000 to the Committee of Stock Brokers, and the transfer stamp of $5,000, besides providing about to carry on the business, or a total of $500,000. People with half a million dollars to spare, or who wish to provide decently for their children, might do worse, however, than buy them a seat ou the French Bourse, for the profits arc very large, amounting to perhaps $150,000 a year, which, after deducting the somewhat heavy expenses, leaves a very fair income.

Scientists and Statesmen Puzzled at Her Mysterious Power. In response to an invitation from the parents of the Georgia prodigy, says a Washington special of the 13th inst. to the New York World, Professors Hilgard and Taylor, of the Smithsonian Institute, attended this evening a seance given at the Metropolitan Hotel, for the purpose of witnessing an exhibition of the powers of the young woman. It has been claimed for Miss Hurst that she is able to coin at will nervous strength sufficient to overcome the muscular resistance of the strongest man. The exhibition was in the presence of Senator Ransom, Congressman Reese, of Georgia, Congressman Willetts and wife, Judge Harris, of Virginia, Richard Townsend and a number of people prominent in Washington politics and socially.

The result of the performance was sufficiently mystifying to make Miss Hurst very popular with people seeking after the new and unexplainable. In the clear light of a blazing chandelier, in the presence of about fifty watchful people, the Georgia girl showed herself the possessor of most curious strength. With her hands resting lightly upon the handle of an umbrella held by a stout young man from among the spectators she was able to shoot the umbrella through space by a simple exercise of her will. Congressman Iteese, of Georgia, who is a very powerful man, tried to hold a chair in his arms while Miss Hurst rested her hands lightly ujton it. The chair was forced down in spite of the most violent struggles of the muscular Congressman untilit was about two inches from the flow.

push the chair down to the cried Father Hurst. Mr. Reese ohanged his resisting powers and bore his whole weight upon the chair without being able to make it touch the floor. This experiment was repeated with two men, and then three tried to hold the chair still under the touch ol the young woman, but in vain. -It was tested in various ways, but no one was strong enough to resist the so-called force.

Prof. Taylor and Hilgard refused to personally take part in any of the experiments, which were made under their inspection, and could give no explanation of the peculiar power displayed. There is. no claim upon the part of the Hurst family of any supernatural explanation of the young powers. For nine months she has been the possessor of the nervous strength exhibited this evening.

She can raise chairs in which stout men are seated by simply placing her paints on the hack of the chair. This was done this evening with various well known gentlemen who were present. Miss Hurst is a strong, healthy looking country girl. She claims to be in a perfect gale of spirits when exhibiting her strength. She laughs nervously at every movement of the strong men in their mad struggles to resist the lightest pressure of her hands.

Congressman Blount, of Georgia, who was present, thought it would have been a most excellent thing if Bill Morrison could have secured Miss support early in the session for his tariff bill.

Pranced there in upon the arena of the great debate, like a trick mule in a circus, or a spavined nightmare upon the track of a beautiful of Illinois.

There was a vision of mustaches, eyebrows and hair piled on each other in arches; a large brandishing of arms, a pose and stridulous war-hoop; and much as though a picture of the Deerfield massacre had stepped out from the pages ot our early history, Logan took the American Senate by its large capacious ear. And then he went for his mother tongue. He smote it right and left, hip and thigh, and showed no mercy. Swinging the' great broad-ax of his logic high in the air, he turned it ere it fell, and with the hammer side struck the language of 60,000,000 of people fairly in the face, and mashed it beyond recognition. Under his stroke the" floor ol the American Senate was spattered with the remnants of a once proud vocabularly, and messengers, doorkeepers and pages weie covered from head to loot with the spray.

In the fearful two hours which followed the first roar of his oration, all the parts of speech were routed and put to flight. There were orphaned adjectives and widowed nouns: bachelor verbs driven to polygamy, and polygamous verbs left lonely; conjunctions dissevered, prepositions scattered, adverbs disheveled and distorted, and syntax flung into wild disorder. It was a great day for Logan. He set his teeth into the language as the untamed tiger of the jungles takes between his mouth and paw the wearing apparel of the wayfarer, and the ripping of it was heard through all the forest depths. It reverberated to the other end of the eapitol, and sluggish Representatives lifted up their ears and listened to the roar with terrified aWe.

Some started for the scene; but, upon being told the cause of the disturbance in the brief com- munication, turned back, with full assurance that they could hear from that end of the eapitol all that was worth hearing. So through two hours Logan swung his beautiful arms over the heads of the Senate like the booms of a government derrick, while his chin churned the language like a pile-driver in a heavy sea, and the baffled reporters made wild plunges with their pencils to gather up his regurgitations for the printer. Ah! Logan is a great man; a statesman. When he throws his intellect into a question, whether it is of finance or self-government, or of sticking to the ship, something has got to come. And you may always know where to find himto-wit, where he has always been, drawing pay from the government In some capacity.

He lacks only fifteen or twenty things of being an orator. He has lungs. W. B. Thomas, Superintendent of the Wrightsville and Tennille Railroad, says that he has graded six miles ot his road, two and a half miles of which he has ready for locomotives.

He says that the average cost per mile of grading, crossties and railing in order on the road bed will be between $1,200 to $1,500. His crossties cost him only 20 cents apiece. Very large lace and embroidery collars, attached by bows of soft muslin, lace trimmed, are dressy afternoon and evening wear. THE SAVANNAH COURT HOUSE. The Architect who Drew the First Flan the Plan was Telfair Recollections of the Old Days.

Extract from the Reminiscences of an Artist. Augusta, June compliance with a request to write my recollections of men and things in Savannah, I begin with what I remember of some facts connected with the building of the court house, as I presume that the object is to interest the rising generation in matters generally concerning those who have now almost entirely passed away. I shall in no case confine myself to lhv text, but in a rambling way touch on anything connected with the subject, directlv or indirectly, knowing that little things give a better insight into human affairs than the received as history. The present subject was selected because of the deep interest I feel in the scheme tor the establishment of an Art Department of the University of Georgia in the city of Savannah, as a "first step towards so educating our own men to be mechanics and proper appreciators of all art work as to enable us to shake off our provincial dependence on Northern and foreign influence, whereby all our riches flow away from us, to make the iccalth of aliens to us in all things of domestic and State i. in doing that which, possessed of such a country as ours, wo could do for ourselves to our great advantage if a wall of brass was raised on our borders.

ALL THINGS REGARDED, OUR TEOPLE are in every respect the equals of any other on the face of the earth, and, properly trained to the using of their resources natural qualities, would stand first in the march of civilization. I have seen much of other peoples of all classes, and a great deal of ours, having taught school for six months in a log house for no other purpose than to form a correct opinion of the mental calibre of our country population. My conclusion is that, with a system of primary school education for the masses and a selection of the choicest few from each county for a university education at. the expense of the State, we would, in a generation or two, make the Southerner as proud of his name as was the Roman when he thought of Rome in her glory. My subject was suggested bv reading in your to Strangers Visiting this remark on the court house: is a solid structure of the Doric order.

Unfortunately it was not raised above the ground level, which mars its ettect by destroying the impressiveness of that heavy style of When plans and specifications for the proposed court house were invited, there resided in Savannah a German by the name of Gottenburg. He had been educated in the art department of great university, Polytechnique, and had taken two gold medals for superior talent during the latter days of the great Napoleon. I saw them both, and also some ot his architectural designs, than which I never beheld any more minute in detail and beautiful in execution. His reputation was such that he had been invited to visit Brazil for the purpose of superintending the erection of public buildings there. He started thitherward about the year 1829 or IS3O, but his ship was wrecked at sea, and he was picked up and brought to Savannah.

He saved little more than his medals and drawings, always the true greatest treasures next his lady love, and sometimes beyond her, so that he found himself here without resources. The gentlemen of Savannah were at that time noted for their hospitality to strangers and appreciation of all talent, whether displayed by the poor youth of their own city, or by visitors from abroad; and while they were not easily taken in by barber-counts from France, or tailor-barons from Germany, they were sure to welcome any stranger who proved worthy of their attention. I could mention a dozen names oi citizens intelligence and reputation caused their houses to be sought for the attractions of their drawing-rooms almost as much as for those of their tables, famous for the unequalled excellence of their Cognac brandy and fruity old Madeira, uow, alas! so utterly departed that Well, memory of joys that are past, like the music of Carrill, is sweet but mournful to the so you will allow me to draw a veil over the vision and leave the subject, lest it draw tears from mv eyes, such as are now brought out by mouthful of the boasted dry sherry, which has supplied the place of the departed. One hundred dollars a bottle would not now purchase these nectar wines, for the simple reason that, like the children over which poor Rachael raised her weeping voice in Rama, they are not! THE LAST THAT IS RECORDED OF THEM in gastronomic history is that Savannah and Charleston supplied the Cognac and Madeira that gladdened the hearts of the guests invited to Queen marriage supper. Of course, in praising the they say the old always laud as better than the present, and which the young rank as old mean no reflection on the existing wines or on those who drink them, since they never tasted better; and if 1 could I would not enlighten them as to what they have lost, since ignorance is bliss folly to be and I would not disturb that self-complacency, which seems to be all left to us as an inheritance from our jovial progenitors based upon the idea that cotton was king and they its prime ministers.

Besides, in those' days the ladies had as much to do with making the dinner tables of the city attractive by their direction of the kitchen as their lords did in the cooking of their wines, under the shingles of their garrets, while their own cultivation was such that no pre- tender to culture could long pass undetected among them, and therefore poorly clad, but accomplished artist, skillful musician and modest soon as known, became a favorite. But true merit is always retiring, and it was only in a few houses that lie felt entirely home. Ours was one of these, for while my mother reserved the morning hours to' the exclusion of fashionable visiting for household affairs and the cultivation of herself and daughters in music, her evenings were always available for social intercourse. At that time copying music was almost as common an employment for ladies as crocheting is now, and, in the absence of lithography, she had with her own hand or that of triends of a past and her own generation, accumulated a pile of bound music, near two feet high, which the vandals who invaded Beaufort carried off with the old carved furniture accumulated since 1710. To this pile Gottenburg added some things, done in beautiful style, but for which he could scarcely be persuaded to receive a remuneration.

If I recollect aright, the style adopted was the Doric, on a base of about four ieet of elevation, ascended by a broad flight of steps flanked by two lions couchant. On the plea that these lions would make the cost too great, the plan was rejected, and his offer to leave them off was ignored. could have got them from he told me, S4OO, but I suppose Americans have no taste for the lion and the unicorn in their public Ha! ha! ha! When in years after, looking at the building as it now remarked to a Savannah builder, who sympathized with my feelings, in regard to the employment of home workmen even at a greater cost in the erection of public works, on the above facts he said: your German friend allow for the Something in the tone and look of the speaker struck me, and 1 exclaimed, for the bonus; what do you mean Mr.

Editor, please recollect this was about fifty years ago, when one was excused for being ignorant of what he knew nothing about. He replied to this effect: bids are required for public works under sealed proposals, a builder generally expects to pay for the influence to be exercised for his benefit. This he adds to his estimated cost to save himself from loss or to secure immunity for a departure from contract. I do not mean, to insinuate anything against the builder of the court house or to say that the lowering of the building to the level of the street was anything more than bad taste and a false estimate of economy, but no builder who does not allow for the bonus can rest sure of the adoption of the very best plan possible This is onlv my recollection Ot the no of bis remarks, bat 1 distinctly riv' 0 expressing my contempt for the metk. or conduct it suggested, and 1 asked, "OO uu A aoBUU, HIM could such a proposition be received bran honest man, lie smildH at my simplicity, but replied should accept it at once if the plan should be the play the scoundrel in pocketing a I asked.

no he said; it over to the benefit of the parties This was my first lesson in practical architecture! BUT EVEN IF THE BONUS OFFERED were to be accepted and so disposed of, I see a great wrong in it, when the contractor employs labor drawn, more than is absolutely unavoidable, from abroad. The laboring men who do the work the roads, fight the battles, and in their muscles and brains snpplvthe productive force of a justly entitled to the support of the public against the competition ot laborers brought in for a temporary residence on the ground of superior cheapness. They are aliens, and not entitled to share in the or fruits of the soil, physical and moral, which they have had "no share in producing.

Disregard to these dogmas are visibly leading to actions that will result in a conflict between classes and end in anarchy, the precursor ot monarchy, or a strong oligarchy like that of Venice, or a priestly rule like that of medieval Rome. Wc may count on the intelligence of the people, and on the effect of popular education, but if we look at the effect of the common school system of New England and of Germany, have we any ground of hope of repose if the people should become aware ot their wrongs and attempt to redress them? Agrarianism never will and should not succeed. Communism, as usually understood, never can by violence; but, just in proportion as a people become intelligent, will they revolt against the substitution for the feudal svstem of bygone ages of the tyranny of capital in the bands of rings, corporations and vulgar private individuals. BUT THERE IS ANOTHER paid by the politician who fears to make dogs taxable for protection of is exceedingly costly to the public, or as we may say, the in not moving more earnestly in the enforcement of the vagrant law. in consequence of which tramps and idle negroes infest the country, and laborers are at liberty to lie down in idleness when and where they please.

Until some remedy is found for this, agriculture, the basis of all prosperity, cannot thrive, and luxury will send the little money we make to' supply its wants from abroad. And still another is paid by our ignorance of art to the chromotyphists residing out of our limits. Our people are naturally fond of pictures and statues, and no one who has not examined into the subject knows the amount of money spent for vile productions of the pictorial artisan. Better knowledge of art among our people would diminish this drain, and this is offered in the establishment of the Telfair Academy. With its present board of directors and their active and efficient agent, Mr.

Brandt, no idea of can be associated. So far the selection of sculpture and photography of the best pictures in Europe seems to be excellent, and we may hope the same for the paintings selected. But have seen the plans for the new annex to the old Telfair house, and some remarks thereon may not be impertinent. The trustees will, doubtless, accept them as well meant, and Mr. Brandt is too much of a continental artist to object to any objections made in good faith to his ideas, even should he consider my suggestion such.

In the first place, then, the old Telfair house is built in a simple, unpretending style, well suited to the purposes for which it was erected, and has been altered to a form the best that could be made of it for the purpose now proposed; but it is scarcely suited for the exhibition of pictures or statues, except in the original passage way as altered and lighted from the roof. Mr. Brandt sees this, and very wisely recommends an annex of about sixty feet square in the rear. For this there is said to be about $27,000 on hand. Now, if the annex isof the same style of building as the original mansion, which it should be, and for which there is no good reason it should not be, with a low basement and one floor on the plan adopted in our upper being lighted by skylights from seems to me it might be built for less than half the sum above mentioned under the direction of a resident architect and by home workmen, inured to the climate, arid thus a considerable sum be reserved for the purchase ol other works of art of American origin.

THE PRESENT RAGE FOR HIGH-PRICED PICTURES, introduced by the extravagance of American millionaries, backed by English ambition, not to be outdone by the good taste of a few who regard pictures as jewels of price, is exercising a bad influence in America by the introduction of the decorative or upholster feature of art. This may be fashionable for a while, as was the Dusseklorf school, but It, must ultimately give way, and the natural taste for close imitation of objects yield to the cultivated taste, which rejects all that is superfluous to the proper rendering of the design. This object kept in view, made Raphael, Michel Angelo, the Oarrachi, urillc, Rubens, Rembrandt, Lionardi da Vinci and others, great painters, while in subordinating the extreme details of their pieces to the chief object gave a high place to the Gerald Dows, Teniers and the like of past days, and to the Messoniers and Millets, the Rosa Bonheurs and Bongenereaus of the present. But if ice attempt to follow these, we must be as provincial in art as in other matters, and we will never have a school of our own, or our workmen be else than poor imitators of others; whereas in the admirably selected statues of.Mr. Brandt, with a few others yet to be obtained, the life school for the human figure, and with the rich instruction of our skies, waters, woods and mountains in landscape, good instruction in the technical part of art, properly' directed, will probably give us an American school of art to be proud of, honorable to its originators, the Trustees of the Telfair Academy of Art, and profitable to the citizens of Savannah.

R. W. 11. The Man-Frog and Man-Goose. Journal.

The man-frog was first exhibited in 1866, at a French country fete. He had a stout ill-shapen body, covered with a skin like a leather bottle, and a exactly like a large eyes, an enormous mouth, and the skin cold and clammy. He attracted a good deal of attention from the Academy of Medicine, and a delegate was deputed to make him an object of study. He went all over France; and, at the end of a few years, retired to his native place, Puyre, in Gers. The man with the head was first shown at the gingerbread fair in 1872.

He was 20 years of age, had round eyes, a long and flat nose the shape and size of a bill, an immensely long neck, and was without a single hair on bis head. He only wanted feathers to make him complete. The effect of his interminably long neck twisting about was extremely ludicrous, and was so much appreciated that his receipts were very large. He now passes under his proper name of Jean itondier, and is established at Dijon as a photographer. He is married; and thanks to enormously high collars and a wig, is now tolerably presentable.

The Sole Exception. Chicago Herald. A man went from the East to buy real estate and settle in the West. He stopped at Chicago and was tempted to settle there. But the first night he went to bed and had a dream.

He dreamed that he settled in Chicago, and after many years died and went to Heaven. He knocked at the golden gate, when St. Peter came out and wanted to know who he was. He said he was Mr. Jones, from Chicago.

St. Peter shook his head and said he never heard of such a place. But the man insisted there was a Chicago and that he came from there, and that if St. Peter would get his map of the United States, Earth, he could see for himself. So St.

Peter sent an angel for the map, and when it came looked it over closely. Finally he paused and remarked: did you say Chicago? You are right; here it is. But you must excuse my ignorance, Mr. Jones, because you have the honor of being the first one that ever came from there iJrroomtt.
