We often hare complaints from residents of Savan nah and Hilton Head that they are nol able always t*> obtain the Hansnu. The demand is sometimes so great as to exhanst an Edition very soon aPer its issue, and those who wish to have the Busts regularly, should subscribe for it. We have faithful carriers in •Savannah and at Hilton Head, and through them we always serve regular subscribers first. BUSINESS DIRECTORY OK SAVANNAH. We are now publishing a column and more ofbrief 1111 siness announcements, carefully classified, under lhe general head of “Savannah Business Directory." It includes some forty leading business men and firms of Savannah. We propose to retain this as a regular feature of the Hkrai.ii. The expense of in serting cards tn this department of the paper is very small, ami we believe the advertisers will receive more than a proportionate benefit. Parties wishing to have their cards included In this Directory, can do no by sending them to our counting room, or hand ing them lo Mr. M. J. Divine, who Is authorised to receive them. Prepayment will lie invariably re quired. THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS. The election for members of the approach ing Convention in this State is near at hand, and the nomination of candidates and other preliminaries of the election are becoming prominent objects of public attention. It is satisfactory to know that the prevailing senti ment of the people of Georgia, as far as we have been able to learn, is unmistakably op posed to the nomination ot candidates whose character or antecedents would make them obnoxious to the Government and loyal peo pie of the country. The general desire seems to be that we should so shape the result of the elections as to convince the northern friends of the Union that the result of the war is accepted by us as finally and irrevocably decisive of the fate of slavery in Georgia ; and to make this demonstration complete it is clearly necessary that every citizen of Georgia should cast his vote for men who will be least objectionable to the overwhelm ing hostile opinion in Congress. Os the great number of interesting questions that present themselves to the mind of the intelli gent aud thoughtful citizen in connection with the exercise of the elective fiauebise under the new order of things, the most important is that involved in the careful selection of suitable men for legislative positions, for the result of the elections in Georgia in October next, is looked forward to with unusual anxiety by the conservative and patriotic in all parts of the country. That result will develope not only the temper and disposition of our citizens, but will determine the politi cal destiny of the State for the future. How great and pressing the necessity then, that our people should exercise the utmost cau tion and vigilance in the selection of proper persons to represent them in the Convention It is known to all that our present status ha3 been misrepresented and our loyalty questioned by our northern political adver saries, for the avowed purpose of defeating the policy of reconstruction adopted by the National Government, which, if successfully maintained, will achieve the early restora tion of Georgia and her sister southern States to all the rights and privileges of full mem bership in the Union. It therefore becomes our duty, first and foremost, to define clear ly our status aud to manifest the sincerity of our loyalty, by voting for men who are not ineligible or obnoxious. When a clear rec ord shall be presented by the result of our elections and Conventional or legislative action, the way will be clear, and the ma chinations of the radical party to perpetuate the political vassalage of the South Will be triumphantly defeated. This view of the most important feature in the present po litical crisis of Georgia is placed above all controversy by the prompt interposition of the mililury authority at Richmond, Va., to prevent the inauguration of civil officers re cently elected, who had been prominent and actively engaged in the late war, which act of General Terry, was approved by Presi dent Johnson. The substitution of civil for military rule is earnestly desired by all. The restora tion ol the State to her practical relations with the Federal Government is not less desira ble Peace, order, contentment, and pros perity are blessings which the Southern peo ple, having once enjoyed them, are yearning to recover in an honorable way ; and we should all be willing to do whatever is neces sary, to consummate these great objects, and it should be done also in a prompt, loyal, pa triotic, liberal and cheerful spirit. This line of conduct is approved by nearly all of the best and safest minds in the South, and af fords tresh Illustration of the aptitude for self-government of men trained in Republi can institutions; and that the people of Georgia will prove themselves as wise in ac , tion as her leading men arc prudent in couu ' eel is with us a foregone conclusion. If men are elected to prominent positions, it matters not how clever they may be, of disloyal character or objectionable antecedents, the reconstructive plans of the President will be frustrated by a radical Congress which bolds the power of decision. We will add that all of the Virginia jour nals, including those that condemned t.ue in terference of General Tery in the r we hare cited, are zealously giving advice of a similar tenor, thus admitting that toe citizens of Richmond committed a blander by electing to office men whose ttntecdlenie were offensive to those who have all the power in their own hands, who have declared their intention to exercise it, and who only desire a plausible pretext to use it to our in jury We have thus frankly presented these views for the consideration -of our Georgia leaders, in the hope that they may contribute something towards enabling them to grapple auccoastully with the difficulties by which our State is surrounded in these times of political peril. CosTlsCatios is Virginia.—The Baltimore American of the 291 b ult. contains a list of s me hundred and titty farms and bouses and lots in the counties of Loudon, Fairfax, Eli zabeth City, Prince William, Warwick, York, Norfolk, and the cities of Portsmouth and Norfolk, which, by order of Gen. Howard, are confiscated and “ set apart for the use of loyal refugees and freedtnen." A corres pondent of the New York Herald says the | opinion is atronly entertained in Richmond | lhat ultimately the President's pardon will' carry with it a complete restoration to all j rights in property hitherto regarded as aban- j doned QDd now in possession of offleets of j the Freedmeu's Bureau. Tub House of Ketchum to Resimf A meeting of the creditors of the firm of Mortis Ketebum, Son «fe Cos , was held in New York on Fiiday last, at which terms for settlement on the basis of sixty per cent, of the amount of the claims were submitted, and finally, after discussion, accepted. It was also agreed that the Ketchum firm should be at liberty to resume business. Their liab.lities ale about four millions of dollars. Several letters were read at the meeting, among which was one of an affecting character from Mr. Morris Ketchum in reference to the conduct of his son Edward. Another Defalcation. — On the develop ment of the Ketchum defalcation in N. York, lhe officers of the State Bank of Hartford, Conn., which had deposits with the Ketchum firm, instituted an investigation of the affairs of the institution, and made the somewhat surprising discovery that the cashier, W. H. D. Callender, was indebted to the bank to the amount of two hundred thousand dollars. He has made an assignment to the bank of oDe hundred thousand dollars, and some other property belonging to him has been at tached. He has not been arrested, aud it is supposed that he will not be. Vandalism ai the White Hocsb.— Another instance of vandalism occurred at the White House on Friday. A well dressed and appa rently respectable woman accompanied by iier little daughter, was arrested in the act of cutting a piece from one of the curtains of the east room, which she said she wished to I send to her mother a9 a curiosity. Her ter ror on being detected was pitiable, and so affected one of the officers of the Executive .Mansion that he ordered her unconditional release. Recrcitinu for the Regular Army Returns received at the Provost Marshal General's office, Washington show an increased activity in recruiting lor the tegu lar army. Regiments, which a few months ago numbered only two and three hundred men, now number five, six and seven hun dred. Many voiuuteers who have spent a short lime at home among their friends are again entering the military service of the United States. Frauds of army officer’, perpetrated by forging descriptive lists, signatures to passes and other military papers, have just been developed in Baltimore, and are to be thoroughly investigated. The amount ot money thu9 fraudulently procured lias not yet been ascertained, hut it is supposed to be very large. The Government not a loser uy the De faulting Paymasters. —To-day’s National Intelligencer says:—We are assured, from the highest source of knowledge on the sub ject, that the government cannot, in any event, he a losei to any considerable amount by the Norfolk swindle, or by the operations ot any of the officers of the entire pay depart ment. A Diver Smothebed. —Mr Broad, of Bos ton, one of the principal submarine divers employed by the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad Company, in con structing their bridge at this point, was smothered to death in his diving dre.-s on Friday afternoon, owing to a defect in the air pumps. It is stated by a Richmond correspondent that the order for revoking the pardon of Mr. Dudley, President of the Y’ork River Rail road, emanated from President Johnson himself, in consequence of Dudley, subse quent to receiving the Executive clemency, having indu'ged in strongly disloyal lan gtiagjp __ steamship R. R. Cuyler, Capt. Dollard, sailed from New York on Saturday last for New Orleans direct, in H. B. Cromwell & Co.'s line. The R. R. Cuyler, originally belonging to the steam marine of this port, was used as a gunboat during -the rebellion, aud earned a distinguished repu tation. Financial Matters.— The Secretary of the Treasury represents that the Department is in an easy condition as to funds. The re ceipts from internal revenue have been fully equal lo the calculation heretofore made, those for the month of August amounting to over $34,000,000. The receipts at the Internal Revenue Bu reau on Friday amounted to $2,356,864 It is deserving of remaik that both in New Orleans and Mobilo there is loud complaint about the want of houses. New Orleans is said to be more crowded now than ever be fore. Someone writing from that city ex press a belief that the census would show au iucrease of one third over the population ot 1860. Washington despatches state that the gov ernment has taken such precautions that the national Treasury canuot in any event be a loser to any considerable extent by the re ported swindles of paymasters in Virginia, or by any other BimilXr operations in the pay department. Florida State Convention. —Gov. Marvin of Florida has issued a proclamation calling a State Convention, to meet at the Capital on the 25th day of October, and the election for delegates thereto will take place on the 10th of the same month. The Raleigh Register learns that Governor Hoiden has received a despatch from Presi dent Johnson, in which he states that if he ■ should visit Richmond he will extend his ! journey to Raleigh, N. C. ■i The atrocious proceedings of the ChiDO-e pirates on the west coast ot China have call ed forth strenuous measures for their sup pression. Two British gunboats, the Haughty and Opossum, have been on a cruise along the coast, and have aucceeeded in burning several of the piratical junks. LETTERB PROM FLORIDA.

The sidewalks are ; being replanked Buildings aie in process !of erection. A large foundry and machine j :-hop is being constructed near the railroad depot by a Mr. Cardy, formerly of Talla hassee. COMMERCIAL INTERCOURSE. There is now an unbroken lino of railroad | from here to the Gulf, striking it at St. Marks. | The railroad companies have sent agents to I the North to arrauge with some steamship , company to run two steamers direct from New Y"ik to connect here with the raihoad to St. Marks, thence by two more steamers to New Orleans. Mr. Neblack, President of the Florida Central Railroad, lias beeu very active in his efforts to effect this arrange ment. The depot accommodations need much enlarging. Large shipments of cotton daily arrive from the interior. There is con siderable reported to he ready to be shipped at the different points on the railroad. Sties are, however, dull; most of the | owners preferring to ship on consignment and hold for an advance. There is consid erable scattered through the country un ginned and unpacked partly for want of bag ging aud rope. A COLONY FOB BRAZIL. About two months ago, about four hun dred of the slave owners formed themselves into a colony for emigrating to Brazil. They are of a class who regard slave labor as necessary to develope the agricultural re sources of the country. The present regime is ot course, very distasteful to them. They ! desire to eontinue their old regime, and it be ing impossible to do so in this country, they are compelled to seek for what they desire in another. Their agent started some weeks ago to examine and report. He had proceed ed some seven hundred miles from New York, when the vessel sprung a leak, com pelling them to put back. It is said another start will not be made till later in the season. Doubtless many of the colonists will by then have given up the scheme and settled down in some useful business like some of their wiser neighbors. The Interior, Tallahassee, Fla, Sept. 4, 1865. Governor Marvin has ordered that un elec tion he held on the 10th day of October for Delegates to a Convention to he held on the 25th of the same month, giving fifteen days for the Delegates to assemble after their elec tion, The Governor is determined that Florida, although the lat;t State to receive a Provisional Governor, shall not be so far be hind the other States in reorganizing and preparing herself to tie reinstated in her for mer position in the Uniou. the want of mail facilities occasions great inconvenience to the people throughout this section. Being unable to ob tain newspapers, they are in darkness as re gards the news. A war with Maximilian, and consequently with Louis Napoleon, seems to be a sort of standing item of news here. The rupoit seems to emanate from the fertile imaginations of t e people, who seem to hopn for sut h an v ut. railroad communication. The officers of the Pensacola aud Geoigia railroad have determined to keep the con nection of their road with the Savannah and Gulf road. They have sent North for the iron to replace that taken from the Florida railroad during the war. When the Gulf road is put in running order again, this con nection will form a continuous line of rail road between Savannah and this place. The connecting road is about twenty miles long, striking the Pensacola and Georgia road at Live Oak station, about seventy miles from Talahassee. Thence a railroad extends twenty miles to St. Marks on the Gulf, from which point vessels ply to Mobile and New Orleans ELECTIONEERING AND WIRE-PULLING. The topic of conversation among the peo ple now is the selection of candidates for delegates to the Convention to be held in October, and discussing their merits. Where there are rival candidates there is considera ble electioneering among their respective friends. The mass of the people who have been in the service are generally disposed to distrust old political leaders and express a derided preference for fighting tnen, without much regard lo the side they have been fight ing with. Some of the old political men who were very ardent secessionists be fore the war, are now very anxious to dis play their patriotism by filling some of the offletrs under the United States Government. Ti ose with large salaries affixed, and com manding power and influence, are particu larly attractive. Some of these poiiticiaus even advocate negro suffrage. STAGE COACHES VS. RAILROAD CARS. The slow speed of travel over the railroad lines from here to the Atlantic coast, the long stops at stations, and the inconvenient lime tables, have induced a former proprietor of the stage coach line to re-establish it in opposition to the railroad. Certain it is that travellers would lose no time, and add to their comfort, by patronizing a stage line.— Any one who has travelled over the railroad more than once will attest to this statement. It is said that certain Virginia banks have been receiving rebel money up to the present time in liquidation of liabilities due them. Another Government Fraud—Arrnt of CapUtn Beckwith (Special despatch to the Kvenlng Telegraph.) Baltimore, September I.—Captain D.. L. Beckwith, who for some time has been acting as mustering officer of this Department, was arrested on Wednesday, charged with de fraudiug the Government by forging des criptive lists. He is now in prison. Eight or ten cases have been discovered and more hre expected to lie. Money to a large amount has already been obtained' by men who were not soldiers on these forged papers. Colonel Woolley is on the track of those believed to be implicated. This system of fraud has also been traced to Philadelphia and elsewhere. It was effect ed by getting men into hospitals as pretend ed invalids, and then furnished them the pa pers and discharges. Important Arrest. j Thomas Ferguson ml. m William Ferguson, and James Robertson. i wo notorious Uuglai" and buiuuieis,' have been attested aud ! committed to jail. Tue former may be re -1 membereu as having been identified during I the war with a Georgia Bittalioa, w hich he deserted. aDd atterw aids connected uimselt j with ine First South Carolina Regiment of : Regulars, of which he look French leave ! also, after n short term of service. From that ' time until recently, he is said to have been more or less connected with the rasca ities commuted in this city and in Savannah, but I by hia adroitness and cunniug he has man i aged to elude the vigilance of the police, and postpone the receipt of his just dm s until re cently. when he was convicted of the bur j glaty of a jeweliy establishment in the latter j city, and was sentenced to ten years impris j onmeul in the peuiteutiary. From a want of transportation at the time of his convic tion, be was detained in the ciiy jail of Sa vannah for three weeks, when he contrived, with the aid of accomplices, to cut through the flooring of his cell and make his exit via the sewer and the prison wall. : From Savannah he came hither nnd im mediately tell under the espionage of the j secret detectives, who were uucouscious of ' his particular crime but were very well in j formed as to his general bid character. By [ them he was watched for three weeks, day aud night, ami the committal of some overt ] act of crime by him confidently expected, j Pending his slate of inaction Robertson came ; to the city, and was similarly watched, as it was known that he was a leading member in the same society in which Furgurson mov ed. The par liable pratrum were therefore j carefully haunted by the siiadows of our vigilant police, who anticipated from them some new deed of rascality, when unfortu nately a petty offence was committed by Robertson causing his arrest, aud Captain Hoffman fearing that his compeer Ferguson would take alarm and leave the city, deem ed it prudent to cage him also. His arrest was effected by a decoy move ment in order lo secure him away trom his residence, where, it was thought, aud right ly, as the sequel proved, that the evidences of his guilt would be found. The detectives consequently made a strategic movement, consummated by Ferguson's calling at a par ticular house in Market street, where “a friend" had notified hint that he wished him to come He came, and was poiuted out to the •* friend,” who was none other than one ot the detectives, by whom he was imme diately taken into custody and conveyed to the police station, where, by dint of “ per suasiou," he was induced to tell his place of residence. The house iu America street, near Reid, was at once visited, searched, and Mr. Ferguson's apparatus, consisting of a fine assortment ot burglar s tools, secured. Robertsou mauaged to make his escape, through some mistake committed by the po liceman iu charge, but was recaptured at Hilton Head on Friday last The particu lars pf history, escape and recapture, we have not fully obtained. Both of these light-fingered gentlemen are now confined in jail under rigid guard. — Cnarlestun Courier. _ Terrible Tragedy. A horrible tragedy occurred in South Ded ham, Mass, ou Thursday night last, a man, his wife and daughter being shot dead. Dr. Carlos Marston, a homeopathic physician, and his daughter, an interesting girl of ten years of age, were shot by Mrs. Maiston, the doctor's wife, who afterwards finished her dreadful work by shooting herself. ‘Mrs. Marston had been sick for a number of weeks past, and has at times given evidences of mental derangement. For several days past she had been growing worse. A great many people need information as to the effect oi the Presidents pardon upon the rights of property. They might readily obtain tins information from reading his pro clamation, for it is perfectly clear and ex plicit upon the subject in question. Here is what it says: To the end, therefore, that the authority of the government of lhe United States may be restored, aud that peace, order and free dom may be established, I, Andrew John ston, President of the United Slates, do pro claim and declare that I hereby grant to all persons who have, directly or indirectly, participated in the existing rebellion, except as hereinafter excepted, amnesty and pardon, with restoration of all rights of property, except as to slaves, and except in cases where legal proceedings, under the laws of the Unded States providing for confiscation of property of persons engaged in rebellion, have beeu instituted : but upon the condi tion, nevertheless, that every such person shall take and prescribe the tallowing oath, &c. This is the form of the general pardon, as distinguished trom special pardons, and it has been extended to and accepted by tens ot thousands. The following is the tenor of tho special pardons, grautid in conformity with the same proclamation, under the list of excep tions, viz: That I, Andrew Johnson, President of the United States of America, in consideration of the premises, divers ether good aud suffi cient reasons me thereunto moving, do hereby grant to. the said a full pardon and amnesty for all offenses by(him commit ted, arising from participation, direct or im plied, in the said rebellion, conditioned as follows, viz- this paidon to begin and take effect from the day on which the said shall take the oatli prescribed in the procla mation of the President dated May 29, 1865, and to be void and of no effect if the said shall hereafter at any time acquire tiny property whatever in slaves, or make use of slave labor; and that he first pay all costs which may have accrued in any proceedings hitherto instituted against his person or propel ty. Heavy Judoment against a Railroad.— One of the most interesting cases tried dur ing the present term of the Circuit Court was that of M. and J. W. Han worth vs. the Great Western Railroad. Plaintiffs sued the rail road company for damages sustained by them in the loss of their warehouse, burned last January, it being alleged that the fire originated trom sparks thrown out hy a pass ing train. Alter a patient hearing, the jury rendered a verdict in favor of the plaintiffs for $5,240 20. This covers the loss of the building and machinery only, a separate suit having been instituted for loss on grain burn ed at the same time.— Decatur (III.) Chrooicl Aug. 25. News Items. The Providence Journal says the di ought begins to be severely felt on some of the principal manufacturing streams in Rhode Island, and the production of cotton cloth is diminished. Many mills are running on short time, and unless there i? speedy relief some of them will be obliged to stop alto gether.” A man on trial for mflrder in Bangor, Me., last week, secured his acquittal by his own simple, frsnk, and apparently truthful evi dence, taken under the new law of that State, allowing all persons accused of crime to be witnesses in their own behalf. An Eastern paper savs that the new coun terfeit twenty-five cent fractional currency in circulation may be readily detected by the superiority of its execution over that of the genuine.

An amusing tale is circulating of a shoddy miss who bathed in a mineral spring at one ot the most famous summer resorts, thinking that, as at Newport, it wa9 the right thing to do.

(Correspondence of Ike New York World.) Hamilioj), August 30. Last week a woman named Perkin, w ife of a respectable well-to do farmer, near Brant lord, U. C, fiudiug herself upon her death bed, sent tor a clergyman and confessed that she had at different periods ot bet life com mitted six murders, and all by poison ! At first it was imagined that she was delerious, but subsequent inquiry has afforded ample corroboration of the poor wretch’s state ment. She said that she had a mania for destroying human life, and it was only by the greatest self-restraint that she could keep herself front secretly poisoning all per sons with whom she was on terms of friend ship. She had, however, poisoned four chil dren aud two adults, and what makes the matter stilt more revolting is the fact that two of the former were her own children, and one of the latter her first husbaud’s.— The children were murdered in England, and the adults in Canada. She has beeu married to her second husband for a num ber of years, and all the time passed for a very respectable, industrious woman. Her appearance, however, was most revolving, aud she was, in fact, '.he exact image of what we should imagine one of the weird sisters in ‘'Macbeth'' to have been. She died soon after rnakiug the above hoTribte dis closure. Mt-rloua Troubles ut thr (ape of Good Hope. [From Wlliuer ft Smith's European Times, Aug. 19.] News of au unpleasant kind comes from the Cape ot Good Hope. Hostilities have commenced between two of the native rival tribes, the Boors and the Basutos, who have been tightiug with desperate courage. So far the Boors appear to have fared badly, and one hundred thousand sheep and a large drove of horned cuttle belonging to them have fallen into the hands of the enemy.— The chief of the Basutos was about to sum mon twenty thousand warriors of bis tribe, and it defeated, to retire within the range of mountains behind his capital, and there re taliate upon his foes by guerrilla bands.— This formidable savage declares,’ it is satis factory to observe, that that he does not de sire to fight with the Queen or any of the Queen s subject; he only wishes to protect his people from the aggressions of the Boors and he warns the colonists against taking any part in the conflict. Like all wars among savages, the murder in cold blood of of men and male children was piactised to a horrible extent. We hope that the Cape government may be able to restore peace without offending either party. Important Discoveries ot Minerals on the Line of the Pacific Railroad. Danver, August 30. Au exploring party, consisting of Professor Denton, Geologist, of Boston; Maj. Wbiteley, and others, returned to day from an expedi tion through Western Colorado, between the Rocky Mountains and Utah. They report that they have made important discoveries of coal, petroleum, and shale, on the pro posed route of the Pacific Railroad. They also briog despatches from General Hughes's corps, constructing the new wagon route to Salt Lake, which will shorten the distance fully two hundred miles. The President’* Lutr Proclamation. [Washington [Correspondence (August 31) of the Philadelphia Ledger.] It is reported that the Cabinet were not a unit on the proclamation permitting the in troduction of arms into the Southern States. Another report is that the President issued the proclamation without consulting all the members of the Cabinet, which report, I am inclined to believe, is correct. Longevity. —When one is asked what are the causes of longevitj', it may be safely an swered, that a good digestion is at the bot tom of the whole business. The perfect ac tion of the organ by wltich the frame is nour ished, must clearly be of lhe firs' moment. Whether the assertion of the cynic that, in addition to a good digestion, a hard heart is also necessary, may perhaps be open to doubt. That insensibility to the sufferings of others relieves us of much mental anguish —a great cause of decay-r-there can be little doubt; but, on the other band, the pleasura ble emotions that spring from a pure heart, are of iufinite potency in prolonging life. It is the little worrying cares that gnaw at the springs of existence. Great natural philoso phers, great painters, and great poets have lived long. Galileo, Keiper, and Newton, survived to a good old age. So did Herscbel and his sister Lucretia, although she spent many years of nights in the observatory, as sisting her brother in his labors. It may be that the calm contemplation of other worlds, sojlifts the mind above the petty cares of this that the body has little cause to grow old. Swift. Corneille, Young, Goethe, Anacreon, Sophocles, and Wordsworth, all lived be yond the appointed threescore and ten years; and the longevity of some of the greatest painters has been remarkable. Titian and Michael Angelo both lived to the age of ninety. It is also a daily matter of remark that great lawyers attain to a loug age. Within our own memory three law lords—Eldon, S'owell, and Dyndhurst—passed their nine tieth year. We apprehend, however, that much of this connection of great age with great offices is patent enough to life actuaries. Lawyers, lor instance, are not appointed to the great offices of State until they have passed ail the more dangerous epochs of human life, and when the chances of exis tence are materially enhanced. But, after all, these exceptional cases prove but little. They are good examples of the powers of a sound constitution, sustained by a vigorous flame of life to keep the human machine going for a long period, even in\ the face of great mental and bodily wear and tear; but they say nothing as to the effect of particu lar occupations on classes. The conclusion all actuaries have arrived at, is that the long est lives are those of agricultural laborers whose conditions are favorable enough to enable them to become members ot Friendly Societies. Both Jenkins and Par were chil dren of the soil; thus science and theory are in this matter in accord. On the other band kiDgs and princes sink tn the lowest place in the scale of life. —Good Word.
