Tlie Pilgrim, or Voynge of Life.
This evening the exhibition of the
grand transformation allegory of tho “Pil
grim, or Voyage of Life,” will be opened at
Masouic Temple for one week, ^be exhibi
tion has received the warmest endorsement
from many cf tho most eminent clergymen
and professors of the country, whose letters
wo have tho pleasure of perusing. V\e,
therefore, have no hesitanev in commending
it to our community as well worth wi'neris-
in". Wherever this beautiful and attractive
allegory has been exhibited it has drawn
crowded houses. It is an exhibition that to
be appreciated must be seen, and we there
fore advise our readers who have apprecia
tion and taste for the beautiful to attend.
A reference to the advertisement, which ap
pears eleewhere, shows that a reasonable
fcale of prices have been adopted. The
Boston Transcript thus noticc-s thp exhibi
tion in that city : . . ...
“The paintings, which illustrate the chief
scenes of the Pilgrim’s Progress, are of the
very highest order of merit, and caotivate
end charm every beholder. From the flat
tering notices we had seen from the press
of other cities, we had been led to expect a
superior exhibition, but were not prepared
to witness one which we find ourselves
wholly unable to describe. The views are
far superior to anything of the kind we have
ever beheld, and there is not one which has
not great merit. Even the least striking are
more grand in conception, and more beauti
ful in execution than we had prepared our
selves to witness. The last scene, which
describes the reception of Christian and
Faithful in the Celestial City, and which ts
accompanied by wonderful mechanical
effects, is absolutely indescribable. It mast
be seen, before even a faint conception of its
beamy and sublimity cau be
We advise everybody to attend, be
lieving that it will be found a more enter
taining exhibition, and a more eloquent ser-
moD, man cau be enjoyed elsewhere. Those
who read this notice may make up their
minds, before attending, to tied it far ahead
of our fckbie representations.

A fatal quarrel.
Dealli of n Negro nt Hie Biirriu k*.
On Saturday night, shortly after eleven
o’clock, Chester Miller and Lawreuco Regu
lar, while in a boat at tho Exchange dock,
got into a quarrel about a gun. Hard words
were passed, and Miller, according to Law
rence’s statement, struck bimwilb an oar
twice, aud then put his hand behind him as
though about to draw a pistol. Lawrence
drew a knife and cat him in the face, knock
ing bint out of the boat, aud, as bo fell iuto
the water, Lawrence lost his balance and
went over too.
When Chester was struck he cried “mur
der,” which attracted tho attention of
policeman James Woods, who was passing
i he Exchange. He immediately ran down
to the wliarf, where he encountered a negro
named Griftin Frazier, who was calling out
“murder.” He then saw Lawrence Regular,
who was standing ue*r tho slip with an oar
raised, aud arrested them both. At this
juncture he saw Chester Miller in the water,
and sent a colored man down to pull him
out. Tho entire party were taken to the
barracks.
During yesterday Miller died aud Coro
ner J£u°n\”being notified, proceedo 1 to the
barracks, where an inquest was held.
The testimony of tho negro Regular
aud the policeman waa substantially as given
above.
Dr. W. G. Bulloch testified that about 12
o’clock ou Saturday night he was called to
the barracks to attend Chester Miller, the
deceased; found that he had been in the
water and had two knife cuts, ono in the
forehead and the other in the lower left
cheek, which had caused considerable hem
orrhage, besides be was suffering greatly
from the shock and exposure in the water;
considered that the wounds and the shock
to the system, occasioned by falling
iuto the water on such a night, the causes
of his death ; beljevedjhim to be in & dying
condition when he first saw bin}.
VERDICT.
Upon these facta the jury returned a ver-
n»»t that «* the deceased, Chester Miller,
diet that - .
had come to his death in consequence of
wounds recoiled in the forehead and the
left check, inflicted by Lawrence Regular,
colored, wiih a kuife, aud probably, also,
from the shock o/his subsequently falling
Into the water.”
Sad Death from Drowning. •
About a week since we mentioned that a
white man, name unknown, had been
drowned in Wilmington narrows by the cap
sizing of a boat, in which there were two
others. No particulars of the affair cculd
be obtained, but on Saturday Dr. Knorr re
ceived information that the body o? a white
man had been discovered near the point above
mentioned. He proceeded to Wilmington
Island for the purpose cf holding an in
quest, It was too dark when he arrived
figure the body, and nothing
to secure the body, and nothing
was done until yesterday. The re
mains were identified as those of Wil
liam Herb, a citizen of South Caro
lina. On the inquest it appeared that the
deceased, with George Callotte and a negro
bov left Savannah in a small boat on the
6th inst. 1 or Wilmington Island with a heavy
cargo. Whilst going through the narrows
the boat was capsized, turning nearly bot
tom np. The occupants managed to hold
on to the boat and drifted for some
distance, when Herb, becoming tired
of holding on, or thinking he could reach
the land, struck out for shore. He had pro
ceeded but a short distance when ho sank.
The others being powerless to ren
der him any assistance, saw the
unfortuoato man after tj.veral strug-
K ies finally disappear. The deceased
was a married oiao, his wife now living in
South Carolina. He was twenty-two years
of age, a plasterer by trade; and, it is said,
has a sister, a lady well off in this world’s
goods, living in Atlanta.
A verdict of accidental drowning was
rendered.

at Port Kojal—A Urelj Affair.
in Savannah-
Procramtne-
-A Change of
The steamer Gen. Sedgwick, which had
been chartered to go to Port Royal to bring
•he excursion party from the Northwest to
Savannah, did not reach her wharf until
nearly four o’clock Saturday afternoon, the
delay being occasioned by her grounding in
Romney marsh the preceeding night.
The* transfer of passengers and freight
was quickly accomplished however, and iu
half an hour aider her arrival, she was ready
to proceed on her journey to Port Royal.
In consequence of the meagre informa
tion concerning the excursion party, its
character and purpose, no arrangements
were made by the city authorities or com
mercial bodies for their reception. The
Forest City Brass Band had been engaged,
however, and were promptly on hand. With
the exception of Mr A. B. Wrenn, agent of
the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad, and
representatives of tho Morning News,
there were no passengers.
Tho steamer left the city about half past
four o’clock, and after a pleasant ran
reached Port Royal at quarter past eight
o’clock, when it was learned that the ex
cursionists who were due at 1 p. m. had not
arrived, owing to an
ACCIDENT on the road.
By telegraphic dispatches it was ascer
tained that the disaster had occurred to the
Augusta bound accommodation train,
at a point near Bronson’s. The
accident was occasioned by the
spreading of the flanges of the forward
truck of the locomotive, which was thrown
from the track, together with several
freight cars. The wreck was quite exten
sive, and obstructed the track, rendering it
impossible for the excursion train to pass.
The work of removing the wreck and get
ting the track in order caused a delay of
nearly ten hours, which, as may be im
agined, considering tho blustering day, was
anything but pleasant to the party.
About nine o’clock a dispatch was received
announcing that the road was opened, aud
the train would be iu shortly alter ten
o’clock. Arrangements had been male for
the entertainment of the guests, a largo
shed opposite the hotel building, enclosed
with canvass, being improvised as a dining
room for the gentlemen, whilst a handsome
supper was set in the saloon of the hotel
for the ladies, of whom it was reported
there were fifty-three.
Stretched on a fence fronting the depot
was a large streamer with this inscription in
big black letters—
“welcome friends.”
The few who ha 1 cone up on the steamer
t of
felt cheered by the sight of this inscription,
and picking their way carefully across the
wharf, railroad tracks, platforms and ditches
finally reached the hotel and entered the
office, which was rendered quite attractive
by a cosy fire. Securing chairs, the smali
party had scarcely become seated when a
venerable citizen, of dignified mieu, strode
into the room, and thus abruptly addressed
the half dozen assembled :
“Americans, welcome one and all; make
yourselves comfortable and at home.”
This startling oration, eloquent in its
brevity, quickly placed the small coterie
at ease, aud reconciled them in a measure
to the tedionsness of waiting for the excur
sionists. Meanwhile the band bad begun
lo play, aud the assembled fair ones of Fort
Royafimproved ihe occasion to indulge iu
a waltz iu the dining room.
Shortly after 10 o’clock the whistle of a
locomotive gave token that the long ex-i
pected train was approaching. There was
then a general movement to the depot,
but, owing to the darkness aud the
numerous ambuscades in the roads for
the uuwary, their movement was rather
cautious. The two committee men who had
been wandering disconsolately up aud down
the platform were eDthused by the sound of
that whistle, and trotted the band into posi-j
tion to give the party a
MUSICAL GREETING.
Iq a few minutes tho train rolled into the
depot, the baud struck up a lively tune, aod
Fort Royal was thrown into a tremor of ex
citement as the excursionists began to
swarm out from the front and rear of the
cars. Through oversight on the part of the
committee, there were no bonfires, audit was
impossible by the dim light of two or three
lanterns to "distinguish “who was who.”
The music, however, served as a sign, and
ihe band, taking the lead, moved off, fol
lowed by the crowd, towards the semi-circus
tent, wherein the feast was spread.
As the excursionists, who, very
naturally, were quite hungry, entered
the shed aud caugut sight of tho tables,
they gave vent to their feeliDgs in
ENTHUSIASTIC CHEERS,
which aindled smiles in the countenances of
the P. 1L Committee, one of whom bounced
up and shouted, “Welcome, welcome, gen
tlemen and ladies,” but the mellow of this
waa shortly after soured by a demand at the
door upon each excursionist who had been
caged, for the sum of seventy-five cents.
It is needless to say that some good eat-
iug was done, and with a relish, and when
tho first pause came, Mr. S. L. Hutchinson,
chairmau of the Fort Royal Committee,
mounted a bench and made a brief and
formal speech, which was replied to likewise
briefly by Mr. U. T. Briglanu, of the Illinois
delegation, who rejoiced iu the fact that the
hardy sons of the Noithwest were able to
clasp hands with their Southern brethren
aga.u, even upon the soil of South Caro
lina.
Remarks were made by several others, but
owing to the confusion that prevailed, it was
impossible to see who they were or to learn
their names. All that was taid breathed a
spirit of good will aud unity. In brief, the
bloody shirt was torn to tatters, the hatchet
was buried, bauds were clasped over the
bloody chasm, and everything was made
lovely by the enterprising getter-up of the
supper supplement!!" the “cordial welcome”
of the committee by assessing the guests
seventy-live cents each for that supper.
This uuexpected call rather stunned tho
party who were not familiar with this species
of “welcoming to the festive board.” How
ever, those who were stopped at the entrance
planked down the currency and passed out,
probably satisfied at getting off so easy. It
was imposition, under the circumstances,
aud many after escaping, were not slow
in expressing their opinion upon t)|o subject.
It is rather cool to welcomo a man to your
board, and after be has partaken of your
hospitality to reach for his fractional "cur
rency. Now, as tho grand reception at Port
Royal resulted, it would have been better to
have omitted that eloquent welcome
greeting.
It was reported that money had been sub
scribed by the citizens of Fort Royal for this
entertainmeut, but, if such were the case,
some of the committee should have pro
tested agaiust a charge to the guests, who,
without being consulted, were tolled into an
airy banquet hall.
THE FEAST WAS OVER
by half-past 11 o’clock, and the announce
ment being made that the steamer would
positively leave at 12 o'clock for Savaunah,
some one proposed that they should remain
over and come down Sunday evening. This
proposition created some commotion, and
tho “ atay-overg ” were in the majority
until it was learned that there was scarce
ly accommodations in the town for
one-fifth of the members, unless
they were anchored in some of those beau
tiful three thousand dollar lo'B, and the
prospect of spending tho remainder of the
night, even on such promising ground, with
a sharp March wind of tweuty mile velocity,
was not at all tempting, am^the steamer
triumphed. In due time all, with the ex
ception of about forty, were on board, and,
being made as comfortable as possible, were
generally in a good humor, and took the
situation philosophically.
Capt. B. V»\ Wrenn, the indefatigable, who
has engineered the party from the begin
ning almost, was untiring in his efforts to
please every one and render all comfortable,
and had assistance in a committee of Atlanta
gentlemen.
The officers of tho steamers were exceed
ingly courteous and obliging, and to Capts.
Getty and Fitzgerald, and Parser Hawx-
burst we are personally indebted for atten
tion.
The trip was not signalized by any stir
ring event, aud was accomplished in about
five hours, (which was fast time, consider
ing the high wind aud rough sea,) Savan
nah being reache 1 at eariy morn.
THE EXCURSIONISTS
represent the various important commer
cial interests, and the majority of them are
gentlemen prominent in tne business of the
Great West. They number altogether over
six hundred persons, and it is conceded by
those whoso experience jn the excursion
business entitles their opinion fo some
weight, to be the most intelligent and re
spectable excursiou party of its magnitude
that has ever started from any point. In
such a large body there must necessarily be
some who are swayed by prejudice and other
feeliugs, but the great majority of this par
ty are intelligent, liberal minded, shrewd
business men, controlling large interests,
whom our citizens will be pleased to meet.
We trust their stay in our city may be
pleasant, and will farther the object designed
—a more intimate and intelligent under
standing between the people of the Great
West and the South.
The following is published for tho infor
mation of the visitors :

tho excursionists to eee Savannah, the
special ex- ursion train will leave Savannah

4 TRIP TO FORT PULASKI.
Last evening the Mayor and a number of
Aldermen had a consultation at the Pulaski
House with the chairmen of the different
delegations in regard to their movements.
It was finally decided that, shoqid the
weather prove favorable, the excursionists
would be tedOered a trip to Fort Pulaaki,
the steamer to leave the eitj about twelve
o’clock m. The gentlemen expressed them-
The Federal Fleet—Account of a Recent
Visit.
We are furnished by a friend with a brief
account of the excursion of the steamer
Carrie to the fleet off Fort Royal on Monday
last. To most of those who availed them
selves of this opportunity to visit the war
vessels, the trip was a novel one. The
Carrie left the wnarf at 9:30 a. m., and after
a delightful run of a few hours steamed up
Port Royal harbor aud anchored near the
flagship Congress, which soon signaled the
steamer, and in a few moments the
harbor was literally alive with steam
launches and large boats, conveying
the delighted excursionists from the Carrie
to the flagship, where they were received
by the officers, who extended them every
courtesy aud a hearty welcome. After in
dulging iu dancing to music furnished by
the fine string band belonging to the ship,
they were conducted to tho various parts of
the’ vessel. They theu visited the large
iron-clad monitor, Dictator, where they
were also cordially received and entertained
by the officers. We regret that our space
forbids a description of her construction and
machinery, which would be very interesting
to many of our readers. This huge levia
than lies submerged in twenty-three feet of
water, a few inches only being uncovered.
Through the kindness of the officers, the
boats of all the vessels were placed at the
disposal of the excursionists to visit any
sbiD of the fleet. In fact every attention
and courtesy were shown the visitors.
The excursionists desire to return their
sincere thanks to Captain Early English,
the senior officer of the squadron, to all the
officers of the fleet, who so kindly contri
buted to the enjoyment of one of the most
pleasant days tfiey have ever spent, and to
the committee who, through their efficient
exertions and complete k arrangements, en
hanced the pleasure of tho occasion.
In this connection we would refer cur
readers to the advertisement of the steamer
Carrie which leaves every Monday morning,
affording an opportunity to all to visit the
fleet.
Dedication of the New Uatliedrn!.
From ao address by Bishop Gross to the
members of the Catholic diocese, published
in the last issue of the SouUvem Cross, in
reference to the dedication of tho new Ca
thedral, we extract the following :
“Enthusiastically aided by the reverend
clergy aud laity, we were enabled to lay tho
corner-stone of the projected Cathedral on
Wednesday, November 19th, 1873. Iu spite
of the tiu&ncial difficulties which have af
flicted the country, tho generosity of tho
citizens of Savannah havo enabled us to
continue uninterruptedly the work on this
splendid Cathedral.
“ We congratulate you, Catholics of this
diocese. The rich fruit ot your liberality is
now presented to you. Ou the next
thirtieth of April, we will open for public
worship, accordiug to the ceremonial of the
Church, venerable for its antiquity, and
highly attractive by its beauty, tno Cathe
dral of Our Lady of Ferpetual Help. This
Cathedral will be the noblest monument of
your faith and piety. This fine church
being dedicated to God under the patronage
of the Holy Mother of Christ, manifests to
the world the tender reverence and love
which, iu common with all trne children of
the Church, you enter tain for that Holy Vir
gin who gave to the world its Blessed Re
deemer.
“W’e deem it not inappropriate to call to
your mind another Tact. In looking over
the archives of the diocese, we find it re
corded that on the 30th ot May, 1800, the
the corner-stone of the first Catholic church
in Savannah was laid by Rev. Le Mercier.
Seventy-six years have rolled past, aud the
little frame church is now replaced by the
large and majestic Cathedral. We havo
taken every measure that will enhance the
solemnity of the dedication. We have in
vited His Eminence, Cardinal McClosky,
and a large number of Bishops and clergy—
many of whom have already promised us to
be present on this interesting occasion.
“For this unique solemnity, which has
been so long desired by you, and which will
be a landmark in the history of Catholicity
in Georgia, we most cordially invite all.”
SrriouM Shooting Allruj.
On Saturday morning about eleven o’clock
the vicinity of South Broad and Price
streets was startled by the report of a pistol.
It was soon ascertained that two colored
men named W. U. Ford and Albert Lafay-
ett *, respectively, had had a difficulty in
Eugene Morehead’s bar-room. After
a few words had passed between
them Ford started t > leave the
bar-room, and as he reached the door he
turned, pulled out his piatol and fired at
Lafayette. The ball, however, did not take
effect. After firing the shot Ford walked
away, and when he reached the corner of
South Broad aod Price streets he
quickened his pace to a run. Offi
cer Chase, who is attached to Mag
istrate Patterson’s court as special con
stable, pursued the would-be murderer.
Alter traversing several streets in hot pur-
ouit the offieer finally came upon Ford in
Lamar’s field, at the eastern end of the city.
Ford, however, showed fight. Ho pulled
oat his pistol and ord red the offi -er to halt.
At this juncture policeman McCabe, who
had also pursued Ford, arrived ou the scene
and Ford surrendered. He was escorted to
the barracks, but was afterwards turned
over to Magistrate Patterson for prosecutlou
on a warrant issued at the instauce of
Albert Lafayette. Magistrate Patterson
committed Ford to jail in default of bail,
on a charge of assault with intent to mur
der.
(lea. Joe Johnston’e Rriarinbriinrr of an
Old Family Servant.
We find the following iu the Alexandria,
Va., Sentinel :
We mentioned iu relating the incidents of
the inauguration ot Jackson’s statue in
Richmond last fall that General Joseph E.
Johnston had expressed his pleasure at meet
ing his old servant Jim Ferguson, at Fairfax
court house, and given him a “testimonial.”
Well, Jim had gone home with bright mem
ories of the occasion, and a livelier recol
lection of his old general than ever, but
with no expectation of ever receiving any
thing like the surprise which he encountered
when a few days ago he got tho following
letter:
Savannah, February 10,187G.
Dear Jim—I cannot tell you how glad
Mrs. Johnston was when I told her you had
come to see mo in Richmond. And we
agreed then to send you a Christmas gift.
But when Christmas came, people were so
glow iu bringing mo my money that I could
not raise a decent sum for you. At last,
however, I am paid, aud I send you fifty
dollars in & check ou the National City Bank
of New York, with our best wishes for you,
Mary, and your children.
Remember, Jim, that you can never find
truer friends than Mrs. Johnston and I.
J. E. Johnston.
Let me know if you receive this.
BONATEATV’RE.
S(. Patrick** Day In AusDeta.
St. Patrick's Day in Augusta, as we learn
from the papers of that city, was celebrated
with more than the usual enthusiasm. The
address on the occasion was delivered by
Colonel A. R. Lamar, of Savannah. The
oration was upon the life, character and ser
vices in the cause of morality and religion of
Ireland’s patron S^int, aud was most raptu
rously applauded by the large audience.that
had assembled in the opera bouse to hear
the distinguished speaker. Even the
meagre synopsis of the address published
;n our Augusta contemporaries show that it
was a most masterly effort, scholarly, chaste
and eloquent. Col. Lamar was introduced
to his audience by Rev. Father Butler.
He said that this pleasing duty had been
devolved upon him, but were it not usual
on such occasions to make formal introduc
tions, such a ceremony now might be con
sidered superfluous. * Colonel Lamar had
been born and raised here, had been hon
ored by the State as one of her noblest sons,
Who bore an unblemished record. He was a
true type of the cbivalric Southern gentle
man. " He now had the pleasure of intro
ducing to tho audience Colonel Albert R.
Lamar.
Lively Circulation of the Leant Tender.
On Saturday a gentleman was walking on
the north side of Bay street daring the time
the wind was endeavoring to reach the digni
ty of a gale, and when he reached the foot of
Drayton street, in attempting to pull some
thing from his pocket, he dropped a large
pocket book containing a number of bank
bills. By the time the book touched the
ground every bill waa blown out of it, and
roj: a few moments his money had a wide
circulation. It was strewn for two hundred
yards along the street in every direction,
each note pursued by half a dozen negroes.
The money was probably all found, but was
not all recovered by the owner. The com
ments that the gentleman made upon the
occurrence were both vigorous and elab
orate, and expressed iu Anglo-Saxon as
terse as it was significant.
Interesting Sketch of the Grandest Ceme
tery In the World.
For the information of the hundreds of
strangers now in our city, and who are de
sirous of obtaining some knowledge of our
various attractions, we present the follow
ing interesting sketch of Bonaventure, taken
from the pamphlet Published by the Ever
green Cemetery Company :
BONAVENTURE.
HOTEL ARRIVALS.
Slaying the' Sparrews.
It is wonderful how expert some of the
boys have become with their Alabama sliogs.
On Saturday two little fellows ou Bay street
seeing a number of sparrows iu a tree, con
cluded to try their skill, and iu a very short
time had several on ihe ground. They fol
lowed the birds from tree to tree until they
killed or wounded aud caught tea of them".
The practice of using these slings is pro
hibited by the police authorities, but you
might as well try to stop the Savannah river
as to endeavor to prevent the bo'\ fjota
using tb“m. TBe youngsters always keep a
keener lookout than the policemen, and
Whene\er they see one the sling vanishes to
keep company with the other mvsteriee of a
boy’s outfit.
The beautiful tract of land bearing this
name, and now enclosing the Evergreen
Cemetery, was first settled in or about the
year 1760, by Col. John Mulryne, who came
to this counery from England, and removed
from Charleston, South Carolina, to Geor
gia.
The high ground, ao extended river view,
etc., made it one of the choicest sites near
the city of Satannah, aud the first house, a
large brick one, was erected at that time,
facing the centre walk of the old garden.
This garden extended in terraces from the
plateau to the river, the terraces being sup
ported by blocks of Tabby, a concrete of
shell and lime, that yet remain iu tolerable
perservation. This bouse was destroyed by
fire in the latter part uf the last century",
daring a dinner entertainment. The roof
taking file first, all hope or saving the build
ing was soon dismissed, but, at the sugges
tion of its owner, the dinner was removed to
the tiees ana there finished.
In 1761 this property came, by the mar
riage of Josiah Tattnall, of Cnarlestou,
South Carolina, with Mary, the daughter of
Col. John Mulryne, into the possession of
the Tattnall family, Governor Tattnall, of
Georgia, being born there m 1765.
This marriage is of peculiar interest in
the history of Bonaventure, since from it
date the avenues of magnificent trees which
form the pride and chief feature of interest
of the place. They were planted about that
time, and tradition has it, in the forms of
the letters M and T, the initials of the fam
ilies of Mulryne and Tattnall. The majority
of these trees were of the live oak species,
others being mingled with them. These
latter the hand of time and the gales of the
Atlantic have long ago laid low, whilst the
sturdy live oaks, with their hoary heads
of moss, still defy the wintry blasts, and
their rustling leaves whisper a ceaseless lal-
aby over tho quiet and peaceful sleepers at
their leet.
A second, and frame house, built by Gov
ernor Tattnall, was also destroyed by fire.
This second house stood in the opeu space
in the rear of the site occupied by the first
brick house, and its location is marked by a
large cedar tree, nourished by the ashes of
the burnt hearth. The front of this house
was formerly marked by two very old and
large Palmetto trees.
In the year 1847 this property
passed, by purchase, iuto the hands
of Captain P. Wiitberger, who had
long associated the qniet and peace
of the place, its patriarch trees, and
their deep, solemn shade, its calm and se
clusion, as a fit receptacle for the departed
of this earth, as a resting place for the
weary pilgrims of life. With him originated
the idea of devoting Bonaventure to its pre
sent and final use, and his remains sleep
under the foliage of its trees.
Circumstances prevented for a time the
execution of this wish, but it was taken up
by his son, Major W. H. Wiitberger, aud the
formation of the present Evergreen Ceme
tery Company, in 1869, was the result of his
efforts. In this connection it may be inter
esting to notice that the first adult buried
at Bonaventure was the wife of Governor
Tattnall, who died there iu 1803, being soon
followed to the grave by her honored hus
band. Previous to that time several of the
children of the family had been buried
there.
Amongst the historical incidents of the
place is the rescue of Governor Wright, by
Colonel Mulryco, during the revolutionary
war. Col. Mulryne, a staunch Whig, disap
proved of the Declaration of Independence,
and when the Patriots confined Governor
Wright m Savannah, Col. Mulryne haatene 1
to his rescue, aud conveyed him to Bona
venture until the Governor could be placed
on board of an English man-of-war lying
in the river. Col. Mulryne left the country
with the Governor, and died at Nassan, New
Providence.
It is also historic that the French, after
their unsuccessful attack on Savannah, fell
back to Bonaventure, and thence re-em
barked inauy of their wounded, burying a
uumber of their dead on the place.
These few brief sketches of Bona venture’s
past will be of interest to th6 many visitors
of that place, and were kindly placed at the
disposition of the Evergreen Cemetery Com
pany by (late) Commodore Josiah Tattnall
and’(late) Major W. H. Wiitberger.
Its futur?, as a cemetery, will endear the
old place to many & heart, and as such it
will remain until the treasures we now in
sorrow confide to its guardian trees and
solemn quiet shall rise to a brighter life,
when time and earth shall have passed
awav.

INDUSTRIAL UEIJEK SOCIETY.
First Annual Report—-A Noble Institution.
We havo received from Mrs. Charles
Green, President of the Industrial Relief
Society and Home for the Friendless, one
of the noblest and most practical of our
home charities, a c<*y of the first annual
report of the society, from which we gleam
some interesting information in regard to
its organization and the good it has accom
plished through the efforts of the no
ble ladies who have zealously devoted
themselves to the discharge of these self-
imposed duties.
Id the spring of 1869, seven ladies, to-wit:
Mrs. Geo. W. Wyllv, Mrs. Dr. Kollock, Mrs.
L. J. ltosenfeld, Mrs: Thos. Purse, Mrs.
Robt. Mclntire, Mrs. Alexander Campbell
£nd Mrs. Luke Cannon, moved by the char
itable impulse to found in Savaunah an in
stitution, the need of which seemed evident,
obtained from the Superior Court a charter
to them as corporators of an institution to
bo called “The Refuge for the Homeless,”
the object and business of which was:
“To provide a temporary home for friend
less aud destitute white children, whether
orphans, half orphans, or those abandoned
by their parents ; where they may be re
ceived, provided for and instructed, until
permanent homes can be secured for them,
Ly adoption, apprenticeship or in orphan
institutions unt:i they are eighteen years of
age. Also, a temporary home for any home
less white persons in the city of Savannah
in temporary destitution, where they may
be received and employed until a more per
manent home and employment can be se
cured,” etc., etc.
Subsequently, in the month of August,
1369, tho City Council granted, upon the
application of the corporators, two lota
situated in Forsyth ward, east of the Park,
for the erection of suitable buildings for
their purpose. They also granted power to
sell and give titles, if nece»sary, in order to
purchase a building elsewhere in the city.
Ou the firstiof February, 1875, after sur
mounting many difficulties, the society was
thoroughly organized by the election of
officers, aud at a meeting of the managers
daring the same month, the details of the
work assumed by the society were arranged
as follows:
“The object of this society is to assist the
destitute and ignorant poor, by giving free
instructiou in industrial pursuits. It pro
poses to afford to women and girl* a tem
porary home, and to give them instruction
in cooking, sewing, laundry and housework,
iu order to fit its beneficiaries chiefly tor
domestic occupation in families.”
“Secondly, the society contemplates the
assistance of the poor, who are able to reside
in their own homes, and are willing to work,
but by reason of circumstances, such as
sickness and scarcity of employment, are
compelled to invoke aid—such aid to be dis
creetly given, under direction of the mana
gers.”
The ladies of “The Widow’s Society,”
who had just reoeived from fhe “Savannah
Free School Society' the transfer of its
property iu building and funds, offered
at this meeting most geuerously the
use of that building, aud of the income
arising from those funds for one year.
0Tbis most timely assistance located our
work. The income waa entirely absorbed in
repairs upon the building, which was opened
for the reception of inmates April 1st, 1875-
At a speiffi meeting of the Board of Man
agers. held March 22d, 1875, it was unani
mously resolved that the nam6 “Home for
the Friendless,” he substituted for “Refuge
for the Homeless,” aud that this society
shall be called “l’ho Industrial Relief Socie
ty and Home for the Friendless.’'
" A worthv matron was then secured in the
person of Mrs. R. Q. Way. Liberal assist
ance being rendered by the community, the
Home was soon placed on a sure basis, and
numerous instances of practical good accom
plished through its agency are cited.
In the report reference is made to the no
ble contributions of the leading butchers
and green grocers of the town. To our
early risers the daily spectacle of a venera
ble clergyman, attended by two little girls,
wending their way to the market place, is
not unfamiliar; but to many wfio see them
on their return it may not be known that
the children’s baskets, pressed down and
running over, are free offerings at the sun
rise, year iu and year out.
Ail honor to “Messrs. J. L. Agnew, C. F.
Cooper, C. S. Debele, A. A J. F. Teynac, H.
Mastic, N. Gfcil, J. Gardiner, Frank Werm,
and others,” whose steady morning thought
fulness puts the occasional money heip of
the best of as sc far in tho shade.
The matron’s report shofra a gratifying
condition of affairs.
Applications have been numerous for ser
vants, and by those desiriog employment in
families. Ikith parties have thus been often
accommodated, though no exaot record has
been kept of names or numbers.
Jriom April l, 1975, to March I, I87fl, the
number of inmates received has been :
