Josh Hillings at the Theatre.
We did not anticipate seeing a very large
audience at the Theatre last evening,
consequence of the numerous attractions
elsewhere in the city, and conse
quently ^were somewhat surprised
to find so large a house. Josh Billings, the
great American humorist, made his appear
ance punctually at eight o’clock, aud was
greeted with loud applause. For over an hour
and a half he entertained the audience with
random selections from his readings, aud
kept the house iu a continual uproar. His
quaint sayings contained a mint of wis
dom, philosophy and sound common
sense, and the audience were not slow
to appreciate the many capital hits that
were made. One may not only derive
amusement but instruction from hearing
Josh, and we advice those who desire to
pass an enjoyable evening to be sure and
see him. We commend the entertainment
to our friends in other cities. Billings is a
trump, and knows the weak spots in human
nature and knows how to touch them on the
raw. The audience last evening was
thoroughiy pleased with the lecture, as was
evidenced* by the frequent and hearty ap
plause.
“Who is the Author
We learn that some curiosity has been ex
pressed regarding the authorship of the
highly interesting article on the Lee family
which appeared in our columns on the 19th
of January, and one on the early history of
General Washington, which appeared yes
terday.
Some have attributed these sketches to a
prominent lawyer and military gentleman
of our city, whose devotion to Southern
chivalry is well known, and who bears the
same initials as those signed by our con
tributor. For the benefit of those who love
to guess, we will simply state that the
author is not a member of either the legal
or the military profession. His literary
scholarship is equalled only by his polish as
a gentleman and his geniality as a friend.
Ho has enjoyed peculiarly favorable op
portunities for learning much that is in
teresting regarding the past and present
nobility of old Virginia, and has kindly
furnished us this information for the readers
of his favorite journal in the South, the
Morning News.
Davy Crockett.
This evening, Mr. Frank Mayo, an actor
of rare ability, supported by a strong
and excellent company, will make his
first appearance in our city, at the
Theatre, for a brief engagement of two
nights. On this occasion will be presented
the thrillingly emotional and exciting
drama of “Davy Crockett,” depicting
iife on the border. Whilst this drama is
exceedingly exciting, there is no blood and
thunder gush about it, and the portraiture
of the noble character of Crockett is
considered one of the finest pieces of
artistic acting on the American stage.
Quite a number of secured seats
have been taken, and it would be
well for those who desire eligible locations
to call at Schreiner’s without delay. Re
member, Mr. Mayo remains here but two
nights.
The New Synagogue.
The corner stone of the new Synagogue
Mickva Israel, will be laid by Grand Master
David E. Butler, with appropriate Masonic
ceremonies some time next week, of which
due announcement will be made. Mr. Jo
seph Iiosenbeim, Secretary of the congre
gation, No. 1G3 Congress street, will receive
any contributions to be deposited with the
corner stone.

were dismissed at their respective armories.
jasper greens
were out under command of Captain John
Flannery, and made a short parade, and
proceeding to Washington square, they
fired a salute by platoons in honor of the
day. They then marched to Captain Flan
nery’s residence, where they were hospita
bly entertained, and afterwards returning
to their parade ground were dismissed to
meet in the evening at their new armory
and enjoy the festivities of a social hop.
JOHNSTON LIGHT INFANTRY.
The corps made their appearanco under
command of Captain A. Pratt Adams, and
presented unusually full ranks, having out
nearly thirty members rauk and file. They
made a fine display, and their full ranks
were the subject of many flattering com
ments from their numerous friends. They
proceeded out Bull street to the Park, and
after parading through several of the prin
cipal streets marched to their drill room
and were dismissed, previously marking
their commemoration of the day by certain
convivialities.
GEORGIA HUSSARS.
The dashing Hussars assembled in .the
morning on their parade ground, in force,
determined to celebrate the day, and made
an extensive parade through the city, after
wards proceeding to the Park where they
were put through cavalry drill, aud return
ing to the city were dismissed. It is need
less to remark that they had a lively time of
it, and made the occasion pleasant to their
friends.
CHATHAM ARTILLERY.
This, the oldest organization in the city
and State, made a splendid appearance un
der command of Capi. Wheaton, and hon
ored the day by firing a salute of thirteen
guns at noon in the Park extension. The
miserable condition of the streets and the
disagreeable weather prevented anything
like the usual demonstration, but what was
{ lossible under the circumstances the Chat-
lams did.
GERMAN VOLUNTEERS.
The Volunteers assembled at their usual
rendezvous early in the morning, and by
half-past eleven o’clock commenced their
parade. They visited a number of their
friends, and were entertained in the gener
ous, hearty manner characteristic of tbe
Germans, and had a very pleasant day, des
pite the unpropitious weather.
THE GUARDS.
The Savannah Volunteer Guards Batta
lion, under command of Major W. S. Bas
inger, assembled at their arsenal at 10
o’clock, aud, proceeding to Wright square,
were formed iu line and supplied with blank
cartridges. They theu paraded out Bull
street to the Park, aud returning halted at
the intersection ot South Broad aud Bull,
where the command were exercised in firing
by sections and platoons. After tbe
firing the Guards proceeded to their armory
and were dismissed, with instructions to re
assemble in uniform at their arsenal at 9
o’clock to march to Masonic Temple to par
ticipate in the pleasures of the grand ball
tbat had been arranged to crown their cele
bration of the day.
CONVIVIALITIES.
After the return of the Blues and Chat-
hams to their respective quarters about one
o’clock, a committee of »he former visited
the Cbathams at their armory and extended
them a formal invitation to partake of the
hospitalities of the Blues at their
drill room. The Cbathams were
formed in column of twos, and under escort
of tho committee of the Blues, marched to
the armory of the latter, on Broughton
street near Bull, where three rousing
cheers were given in compliment to that
popular and veteran organization. The
guests were then escorted up stairs to the
drill room, where a fine collation, bounte
ously flanked with choice liquids, had been
prepared. As the exercises of the day had
given zest to appetites, ample justice
was done the substantial, and when
the liquors were brought under discussion
tongues were loosened, and speeches,
toasts and songs followed in rapid succes
sion. After a very delightful hour or so
spent in these convivialities the commands
bid adieu, the Blues being expressly ordered
to report themselves in the evening at the
headquarters of the Chathams, there to re
ceive a “punching” commensurate with
their merits.
PRIZE DRILL OF THE OGLETHORPES,
At half-past 3 o’clock in the afternoon the
Oglethorpe Light Infantry assembled at
their drill room, there being thirtj men in
ranks, under command of Lieutenant S. W.
Branch. After being formed, the company
proceeded out Bull street to the Park ex
tension, where they were put through the
usual evolutions, acquitting themselves most
creditably. Returning to the city, they came
down to the Bay, and, marching up Whit
aker, complimented the Morning News
office with a salute. This is the first mili
tary company that has thus compliment
ed the Morning News siuce its removal
to the present quarters. They pro
ceeded direct to their drill room, where
arrangements had been made for the com
pany prize drill for the gold medal. The
room was soon crowded with their com
rades of other companies and friends, aud
the contest was watched with great interest.
The drill commenced at five o’clock, and pro
gressed with but few interruptions for rest
until six o’clock, the full ranks, having,unde r
the «evere ordeal, dwindled down in
the meantime to the following
six: Sergeant IPournell, Sergeant C. S. Law,
Corporal F. M. Gage, Privates J. 8. Steven
son and B. C. Kennedy.
This small band stood the ordeal without
fliuching for nearly thirty minutes, and
there was no room for speculation as to
who would be the victor, as each seemed to
be perfect in the manual of arms.
At o’clock the contest was resumed,
and the interest began to increase, as it
was evident that the drill would have to be
brought to a close in a short while. After
a few minutes the ranks were broken by
Private Stevenson stepping out, followed
few seconds by Corporal Gage, then
Sergeant Pournell and private Kennedy.
The contest was thus narrowed down be
tween Sergeant Law and private Kennedy,
and the drill was quite spirited. Finally
the question was settled by private Kennedy
stepping out, leaving Sergeant Law as the
victor, for the second time, he having won
the medal at the last drill. The contest
closed shortly after seven o’clock.
The company was reformed, and Sergeant
Law was called to tho front and centre, when
the prize was presented him by Lietuenant
Branch, in a very neat and appropriate
speech. Sergeant Law was warmly con
gratulated by his comrades upon his hard
earned victory. After the presentation the
company was dismissed.

EVENING FESTIVITIES.
THE GRAND B'.LL OF THE GUARDS.
Masonic Temple was ablaze with beauty
and chivalry last evening, in houor of the
grand ball’ of the Savannah Volunteer
Guards, aud graud it was indeed. Proba
bly, in point of brilliancy and artistic
beauty, no grander scene than was wit
nessed in the splendid hall of Masonic
Temple last evening has ever marked
the annals of social gatherings in
our fair city of Savannah. The hall was
very magnificently and most profusely
decorated. The stage was occupied by the
Guards’ Brass Band and Professor Straub’s
orchestra, the scenery in tho background
constituting a woodland view. Above the
stage was stretched a banting with the fol
lowing inscription in evergreen letters :
“THE BRAVE DESERVE THE FAIR,”
a most appropriate and felicitous quotation,
considering the occasion and the gathering.
Along the eastern wall of the hall, amidst
artistic decorations, appeared the names ot
all the commanders of the Guards from the
date of their organization until the present
time, to wit:
Cummings, 1802; Marshall, 1808- Fell,
18ii- Tattnall, 1818; Jackson, 1832; Robert
son ’ 1837; Bowen, 1840; Richardson, 1845;
Screven, 1S52-1858; Basinger, -
Beneath this scroll of honored names, and
between tbe windows were gracefully group
ed the various flags of the Guards, with
guidons and swords; in swords in one section,
a largo portrait of Gen. Lee, with a small
one of Major Basinger above; in the other &
portrait of Washington and above that of
Gen. Joseph E. Johnston.
The entire room was most elaborately deco
rated with hanging loops of evergreens and
flowers, with here and there bird cages,
with silver voiced occupants, suspended,
the whole gracefully and artistically ar
ranged In the southwestern corner of the
hall amidst a bower of ivy and flowers,
and’amongst a group of feathered song
sters in beautiful cages, was erected
a fountain charged with cologne, and the
falling sprays into the basin created.a de
licious perfume that permeated the vast
deed fair to look upon. The gas lights
disseminated their brilliant rays upon
a gathering of fair women and brave men
the like of which is seldom seen. It would
be impossible in the brief time allotted us
to describe in full this ball, suffice it tbat
the Guards can refer to it as one of the
grandest and most brilliant ever given in
the South.
The supper was well in keeping with the
other appointments. It was a most elegant
feast, and did rare credit to the
taste and skill of the ladies
of the Episcopal Orphans’ Home, who pre
pared it. About half-past twelve o’clock
the dancers adjourned to the supper room
over the hall, and there we left
them. But later, the sound of
delicious strains wafted from the
hall was a token that they had again re
turned to the services of Terpsichore, and
as may be presumed, these pleasing ser
vices were kept up until the “wee sma'
hours,” and then, we doubt not, they were
reluctant to leave. It was the ball of balls,
and the participants will ever remember it
with pleasure.
THE HOP OF THE JASPERS.
The Jasper Greens, one of the most popu
lar of our Savannah companies, and rejoic
ing in a historic name, celebrated the eve-
ning by a grand hop at their new armory in
the Masonic building, corner of Bull and
Broughton streets. The hop was,
far as attendance and pleasure
is concerned, one of the most successful
ever given by the company. The hall was
crowded, and among those present when we
dropped in, at a late hour, we noticed repre
sentatives of the other companies in the
city. We congratulate the Jaspers upon
the success of their ball, which was credita
ble to even so important an occasion as the
celebration of Washington’s birthday in
the centennial year of American Indepen
dence.
THE CHATHAMS’ SOCIAL.
The Chathams gathered at their armory
about eight o’clock and received their com
rades of the Republican Blues, in conform
ity with previous understanding. Of course
that mammoth punch bowl with the
harmless liquid was on hand,
with other good things, and the
merriest evening imaginable was the
result. Under the inspiration of this po
tent punch, bright ideas and brilliant
thoughts found expression, and speeches,
anecdotes, songs, repartees, passed alonj:
the line in quick succession amidst roars oi
laughter and vociferous applause. The read
ers of the Morning News are so familiar
with these entertainments of the Chat
hams, noted for their boundless hospitality
and incomparable jollity, that we consider
the simple statement that the occasion was
equal in all respects to the previous enter
tainments of this old and veteran corps,
amply sufficient to convey an idea of the
experiences of last evening.
WASH I NCI TON’S BALL.
Dedication of the New Hall.
The Washington Fire Company last night
celebrated their anniversary, and the oc
cupation of their new hall, by one of the
most pleasant balls that the company have
participated in since its organization. The
new hall was brilliantly lighted, and was
crowded with merry devotees of the Terpsi-
chorean goddess.
At the old hall a table was laid out with a
full supply of champagne and other neces
saries. The Mayor, Board of Aldermen,
Chief Fireman Blair, Assistant CLiet Osceola
Butler, E. A. Soullard, Esq., and others
visited the hall during the evening, and ex
pressed themselves highly pleased with the
appearance of the building and its appoint
ments. They did not, however, forget tne old
hall, where, over brimming glasses, many
good wishes were tendered tho company and
a pleasant time was spent, the officers and
members of the company vieing with each
other in courteous attention to their guests.
In the engine room of the new hall a table
bountifully supplied with all the delicacies
of the season was displayed. This supper,
so well arranged, was provided by Mr. Hi
G. Ruwe.
The new hall is most admirably arranged,
and the company feel gratified in its occupa
tion.
On the first floor is the engine roonx
which is very large, with ample accommo
dation for the steamer, stables for
tho horses, a wash room and water
closet. The second floor is an excellently
designed aud pleasantly arranged hall, with
a spacious gallery at the northern end for
music, and under the gallery are two rooms
intended as sleeping apartments for the en
gineer aud drivers.
We bid the Washingtons good speed in
their new quarters, and hope the centennial
year will be a prosperous and successful one

Notwithstanding the exceedingly unpleas
ant weather, and the varied attractions in
the city, there'was quite a large crowd at
the Thunderbolt Park Course yesterday af
ternoon to witness the trotting race an
nounced to take place.
There were four entries, but only three
started, as follows:
William Lovell, New York, enters hr. g.
Barney Kelly.
W. B. Crawford, New York, enters br. m.
Annie Collins.
M. J. Doyle, Savannah, enters b. g.Faugh-
a-Ballagh.
The track was in fair condition and the
several heats were well contested and ex
cellently managed, and to the entire satis
faction of the visitors.
The first heat was won by Faugh-a-Ballagh,
Barney Kelley second, Annie Collins third.
Time, 2:45.
The second heat was also taken by
Faugh-a-Ballagh, with Annie Collins second,
and Barney third. Time, 2:4G.
In the third heat there was a change,
Annie winning by short odds, throwing
Faugh-a-Ballagh second, and Barney third.
Time 2:45.
The fourth heat excited considerable in
terest, as in the event of Faugh-a-Ballagh
failing to \un there would have to be an
other heat, and the result of which would
have been doubtful. A fine start was made
and the nags swept by tho stand in fine
style,Faugh-a-Ballagh at the turu of the halt
taking the lead and coming in ahead oq tho
mile, winning the heat and the race, Annie
Collins second, Barney Kelley third. Time,
2:49.
SUMMARY.

Barney Kelley 2 3 3 3
The race was for a purse of $250—1150 to
the first horse, $75 to the second, $125 to tho
third—mile heats, best three in five.
We understand that the fine performance
of Faugh-a-Ballagh was due to the fact that
he was provided with the toe weights
patented oy Mr. P. J. Burns, of this city.
These weights have the effect of regulating
the pace of a horse, and facilitating the
driver in bringing him down to work when
he breaks. Captain Doyle expresses himself
greatly pleased with these weights, and con
siders that tho victory of Fangli-a-Ballagh
over such competitors is maiuly due to
their use.

We understand that Bines came to the
city yesterday on the Central Railroad,
in company with a negro woman,
and proceeded to a house on Jefferson street
near Wayne. Information of his presence
here was received by Mr. Tarver, Supervisor
of the Central Railroad, who, with the as
sistance of Mr. Ferguson, of this city, took
measures to effect his capture. Fortunately
their efforts were successful and Bines was
secured about five o’clock in the afternoon
and was at once carried to the Central de
pot, where he was confined in a room.
A messenger was sent for some
handcuffs, who soon returned, and tho
negro was properly braceletted. He was
then placed in custody of Mr. Kilpatrick,
and left on the six o’clock freight train for
Eden, where he will be turned over to the
authorities, warrants for his arrest having
been issued.
We learn from parties direct irom Eden
that great excitement exists in the neigh
borhood, and strennons efforts have been
made to arrest Bines, who is believed to be
the ringleader and principal perpetrator
in all the crimes that have been com
mitted in that section lately. There
is strong proof, we understand, that
he murdered Mrs. Cochran and her
daughter, and also Mr. Zittrouer,
whose body was found on the railroad
few days since a short distance above
Eden. He is also identified as the fellow
who fired at Miss Seckinger.
The news of the arrest spread rapidly,
and quite a crowd gathered at the depot to
see the prisoner.
Uinta for the Ladiea—Centennial Ilalr-
Dressinff.
Inquiry into the fashions of our fore
mothers convince ns that abominations were
then no less practised than at the present
and especially in the matter-of the coiffure,
since powdering the hair was then more
generally inriavor than now. In the matter
of powdering the hair, however, in the
Centennial dress there is no inflexible de
maud for the powder. For matrons, and
those to whom t£e style may be becoming,
the Pompadour coiffure, if the cap be dis
pensed with, is that most nearly in accord
ance with what obtained in the days of
G randmothers and great-grandmothers; but
or younger ladies, as Huntington’s picture
shows, other styles are admissible, and as
near nature as possible in the careless dis
position. Miss Chew, who is just nnder
the wing of the nation’s chieftain, is rep
resented with curls drooping low over the
back of her head, and over her forehead
light fringe of ringlets, similar to the style
of hair-dressing afterward adopted by tho
Empress Josephine; while another young
lady, near the right hand of Mrs. Washing
ton, appears in a full coiffure of long, luxu
riant ringlets. Indeed, the picture abounds
with suggestions, and from these our ladies
in their dress on the 22d instant will signify
their reverence fi-r the glorious early days
of our republic, a veneration for our ances
try, and a love for their country.
Gloves for evening wear are in cream
color, faint shades of salmon, apricot, lem
on-yellow, straw-color, rose, blue, lilac, lav
ender, pearl, and other tints now seen iu
the evening silks ; while with white cos-
tallies and for wedding receptions, white
gloves are still the most,popular. In all
cases, evening gloves have from four to six
buttons, according to the depth of the
sleeve of tho dress; end there are extremists
in fashion who insist on from eight to
twelve buttons.—Ladies’ Journal.
Send Up Your Stamps.
A tardy debtor up the country states that
he is so hard up that it is impossible for him
to obtain stamps to pay postage on letters
in reply to them, and intimates that if they
desire to receive answers to their inquiries
they must furnish him with stamps. Tbe
following extract from his letter to a firm in
this city will amuse the reader:
Lowndes Co., Ga., February 17, 1876.
Messrs. .
Gentlemen: I wrote.to Messrs. L
December last to notify my creditors in Sa
vannah the disappointment I had met with
and to ask for further extension of time. ]
stated fully to them the cause. I have two
good lawyers trying to collect a claim for
me, which, when or if collected will settle
at tho compromise all I owe. I did not
want to go into bankruptcy unless pressed
to do so. My claim should have been col
lected last summer, and my creditors would
have been paid at once. I did not write to
all my creditors, as I had no stamp to pay
postage. This was true, and I have but
five cents to-day—three cents goes for this
stamp. My creditors will have to forward
stamps if they want answers, as I have not,
nor can I get ,anv money.
Very truly, .

Gregory, an officer well known and very
popular at the Southern ports. He is an
able and skilful seaman, a man of courage
and experience, and it is hoped will succeed
in getting his vessel 4nto port. The Adela
S. Hills was built for Captain Gregory at
Rockland, Me., about a year ago. She "was
intended for the Southern trade, and is a
first class double deck schooner of 4G5 tons

Upon the opening of the Police Court
matinee yesterday, the name of Simpson,
the sprightly commercial traveler from
Philadelphia, who distinguished himself by
insulting some young ladies in Forsyth Park
Monday evening, was called, but Simpson re
sponded not. Inquiry revealed the fact that
tho festive Simpson, with his compagnon
du voyage, had kicked the dust of Savannah
from his heels and had left for Charleston
on the 10:25 train Monday night. In hen of
of a bond for his appearance, this gay in
dividual had deposited at the Police Bar
racks two hundred dollars iu cash and a gold
watch and chain, and some other valuables,
which are now in possession of the police
authorities. In view of the fact that the
Mayor could not have, under tho ordinance,
imposed more than a fine of $100 upon
this worthy, it would seem that he had
acted very foolishly in levantiDg, unless he
had apprehension* that after the settlement
of the case he might be encountered
by some of the friends of the ladies and
receive a severe drubbing. This is likely,
from what we can hear, the cause of his
sudden departure.
Wool Cotton.
The following paragraph, from the Char
lotte (N. C.) Observer, may be of interest
to some of our readers. We have never
heard of a bale ot cotton of the character
described having been received in the Sa
vannah market:
“A bale of cotton, such as has never been
seen in this market before by the oldest
cotton buyer, was received yesterday by
Messrs. Oates Bros., from Isaac Harris,
Esq., of Mooresville, Iredell county. It is
of the exact texture of wool, and is greasy,
and feels to the touch just as wool; it has
almost no staple at all, and while certainly a
species of this staple, has very few of its
qualities. Handfuls of it have been brought
here before by the farmers, among whom it
is known as vegetable wool cotton, but this
is the first bale ever seen here. It has no
merchantable vaiae in this market, and will
be shipped by Messrs. Oates Bros, to Phila
delphia. Mr. Harris expects to realize a
large price for it, but cotten men here doubt
if he will be able to do this, since the growth
cannot be adapted to the uses to which
either cotton or wool, strictly speaking, is
applied. It is so far from being cotton that
no classification can be fonnd for it, and it
is just as far from being wool.”
Despondency, if allowed unchecked, will
often produce a morbid condition, so that
the least unsatisfactory affair that happens
will swell into terrifying Droportions. The
mind being warped often imparts torpidity
to the body, all of which more frequently is
the effect of inaction of the liver than from
any other cause, and by resorting to Sim
mons’ Liver Regulator the mind will often
find relief with the body.

The New York Financial Chronicle of the
19th inst. says that, for the week ending
Friday, the 18th ingt., the total re
ceipts have reached 110,576 bales,
against 118,582 bales last week,
131,379 bales the previous week, and
152,359 bales three weeks since, making the
total receipts since the 1st of September,
1875, 3,295,251 bales, against 2,836,183 bales
for the same period of 1874-5, showing an in
crease since September 1, 1875, of 459,068
bales.
The exports for the week ending Fridav

while the stocks as made up this evening are
now 864,881 baies.
Compared with the corresponding week of

stocks to-night are 29,662 bales more than
thev were at this time a year ago.
The visible supply of cotton, as made up

compared with the same date of 1875, an in
crease of 15,722 bales as compared with
the corresponding date of 1874, and an in
crease of 457,652 bales as compared with
1873.
The totals show that the old interior
stocks have decreased during the week 4,567
bales, and were Friday night 7,321 bales less
than at tbe same period last yea/. Tho re
ceipts at the same towns have been 1,841
bales more than the same week last year.

while the receipts at Bombay during this
week have been 27,000 bales.
Compared with last year, there is a de
crease of 28,000 bales this year in the week’s
shipments from Bombay to Europe, and
the total movement since January 1 shows a
decrease in shipments of 103,000 bales
compared with tho corresponding period of
1875.*
“ I Abhor Scandal.”
No, my dear—goodness be thanked—no
person can say that I ever scandalized any
one, not even my worst enemy, no matter
what he or she may do. I’ve had chance
enough to talk if I had a mind to, as every
one in this town knows full well. Of course,
living right here in the high street of the
town I can’t help seeing many queer things,
and when our windows are’open and tho
blinds shut in summer time, I can hear
them, too. But I never repeat them-
scorn to make mischief. I never lisp
word, except when I get hold of some per
son like yon, my dear, that I know I can
trust. And if a body is never to open her
month among her own intimate friends,
why, the world isn’t worth living in, is it
But that isn’t scandal, yon know. I hate
and abhor that just as much as you do, and
I don’t think any one can say I was ever
guilty of it in all my life.
But then, as I said before, it isn’t for
want of tbe chance. Why, only last even
ing as ever was, who do you think I saw
walkiug up by here, in the bright mooul
light, as brazen as you please, but Miss
Lennox and Colonel Parke. Fact, as sure
as you sit in that chair! and they were
walking close together, and talking so con
fidential !
I suppose you know all about that dis
graceful affair with the school girls ? No ?
My dear, you must really live in the dark ll
Why, they have been writing a lot of anony
mous letters to people here in the town, and
the Postmaster suspected what was up at
last, and he just kept a quiet lookout and]
caught some of them putting the letters in.
I don’t know what Miss Clackett w ill do.
Expel them, I hope ; great girls like those
have no business to act so!
There’s Mrs. Price going by. I suppose
she has been down to cheapen’a fowl, or get
a half-penny or two taken off a joint of
meat. She ; s the stingiest thing, my dear;
it would really make your heart ache to hear
of the way she manages and contrives ! And
there is her husband, one of the richest
men in the town, and folks do say that he
can’t get a decent meal of victuals iu his
own house. Wouldn’t you—
What! going ? Can’t’you stay any longer?)
I Well, do come again very soon, won’t you I
[Good-bye!
Thank goodness, she has gone ! I reall
thought she was going to stay all night. I
heard a nice story about her, by the way t
last week—how shamefully she treats all her
servants ! Suppose she thinks I don’t know
it. I might mate mischief enough in her|
Ifamily if I chose. But I abhor scandal.p
