The Germ Theory.
As tho “germ theory” is tho subject of
much loeal interest just now, it is appropri
ate to mention than at a late meeting of the
Brooklyn (N. Y.) Philosophical Club, Dr.
Robert Ormieton read a carefully prepared
paper on “Infectious Diseases, or tho Germ
Theory.” Ho said that the theory explained
all the phenomena of infectious diseases iu
the most satisfactory manner. The lecturer
traced at great length the nature of infec
tious diseases and their devastation on the
human race, instancing, as a proof of the
latter evil, tbo epidemic known as “black
death,” which raged in Enrope during the
fourteenth century, and which carried
off twenty-seven millions of the in
habitants. He said that he had been
gradually forced to the conclusion
every specific disease has its germ
that
Scarlet fever can only be obtained from a
scarlet fever germ, and, likewise, small-pox
from a small-pox germ. It must always bo
kept in mind that germs may be so infinitely
minute as to elude tho microscope. The in
finitely minute cannot be fathomed any
more 'than the infinitely great. It was
hardly judicious to sav, however, that cer
tain germs do not exist in the air because
instruments and the eye are unable to detect
or discover them. Dr. Ormiston, iu con
cluding, cited a great number of scientific
experiments to prove the consistency of his
theory. He was loudly applauded on taking
his seat, and a number of members took
part iii a subsequent discussion.

Tlie Episcopal Fair.
The fair for the benefit of St. Mathew’s
Chapel, which was inaugurated at the Pa
vilion Hotel last night under the auspices
of ladies of tho several Episcopal Churches,
was well attended, and promises to prove
a success. A splendid supper was laid
out, and those who were fortunate
enough to be present felt amply repaid
by the enjoyment of the numerous good
things. To-day there will be a fine lunch
set out from twelve to one o’clock, and those
of our business men who generally indulge
iu this noon feast should drop in and see
the ladies. To-night there will be a splen
did hot supper prepared between the hours
of nine and ten o’clock p. m., and a fine op
portunity will thus be offered the members
of our military companies after the fatigues
of their parade to refresh themselves.

An Important .Meeting of the Savannah
Christian Association.
At the monthly mooting of the Savannah
Christian Association, which was held at
their rooms on Wednesday evening, the
question of the continuance or dissolution
of the association was considered. This
question was brought up not only on ac
count of tho lack of interest manifested
among the members proper, but because
the support and encouragement from the
citizens generally were not equal to the re
quirements. Considerable excitement, how
ever, was happily awakened by the sugges
tion to dissolve*, and many pledged them
selves to devoto more energy to the work.
It was determined to move the rooms to a
more eligible situation, collect more money
and pro?s on with-renewed vigor. As the
association wants encouragement and full
attendance at its meetings not only of
members, but of all citizens who approve of
its work, as well as money to carry it on, it
is hoped that every one will lend what as
sistance ho or she can to the good cause.
The new rooms are to be over Theus’jewelry
store, and it is the intention to render them
as comfortable and attractive as the means
of the association will permit. If the citi-
zeus contribute, as it is hoped they may, in
personal help and encouragement and
money, these rooms will be the most attrac
tive in the city. An unlimited number of
magazines and periodicals, as well as a fine
library of s’audard books, will be open and
freo to all, and an employee will be on hand
to attend to the wants of visitors. It is de
sired that every citizen will use the rooms
freely and will introduce strangers visiting
the city, both during the day and evening.

The YouDg Ladies’ Port Sewing Society
will give a supper at Armory Hall on next

in our city, and tho young ladies composing
the society are entitled to the highest com
mendation for their arduous labors in behalf
of those “who go down to tho sea in big
ships.” The supper which will be given by
them is to raise funds to further their plans
for the benefit ot the seamen, and we hope
that a generous aDd charitable community
will render them cheerful aid in this good
cause.

The New Pastor of Trinity Church.
The Columbus Times of the 16th has the
following paragraph which will be of some
interest to our readers:
“We had the pleasure yesterday of reading
a portion of a private letter from Rev. It. J.
Corley, late pastor of St. Luke’s Church in
this city, written from Savannah, his new
field of labor, in which his heart seems full
to overflowing with admiration and love for
the people of Savannah as a community
and as individuals.
‘The late epidemic made large provisions
for orphan children and for widows neces
sary, and nobly has Savannah met the emer
gency. She has established one asylum for
orphan boys and two for orphan girls, and
two Widows’ Homes for the needy and de
serving poor ; also a Home for the Home
less, where all who need food may go and get
a meal, and where young women out of em
ployment may find a temporary home until
a situation can be secured. This last named
institute is kept up by public and private
charities, and the lady in charge gets $500
per mouth for distribution among the needy.
“A few days after Mr. Corley had entered
on his work the Mayor of Savannah sent
him a check for $500, to be used amongst
the poor of his church. He says iu his let
ter : “ The people here, as churches, and
a municipal corporation, and as iudi-
vidual?, exceed any 1 have over seen for the
variety and extent of their noble charities.’
“It affords ns great pleasure to publish
facts so honorable to oar neighbors ; hence
we asked the privilege of quoting from Mr.
Colley’s letter.”
Kt. Rev. Innatlua Persico, D. D.
The Rt. Rev. Dr. Persico, of the Order of
Capuchins, Bishop of Bolina, in partibus in-
fidelium, and formerly Bishop of Savannah,
has arrived in Rome. He labored zealously
for sixteen years in the Missions of India,
where he was Vicar Apostolic of Agra from
1854 to 1860. Appointed Bishop of Savan
nah in 1870, he resigned his See two years
later. He latterly performed the humble
duties of parish priest in the Diocese of
Quebec, Canada, but the climate of that
legion being injurious to his health,
ho found himself obliged to return to
his own country. The Archbishop of Que
bec and several other Canadian Bishops sent
Bishop Persico, at the time gf his departure,
addresses in wh ch they expressed their
gratitude for the services he had rendered
them during his stay apaong them, and their
sorrow at his leaving Canada. The Holy
Father, wishing to avail himself of Bishop
Persico’s talents, is about to assign him a
diocese in the province of Naples, his native
country.—Southern Cross.
Who Pay the Taxes?
Editor Morning yews: Seeing an extract
in your valuable paper of yesterday, taken
from the Columbus Times, giving a list of
names in that city of all persons who pay
taxes on ten thousand dollars and upwards,
I would aBk that you favor vour readers
with a like list, taken from the books of our
City Treasurer, alter our citizens have
generally made their returns. As our new
city ordinance takes all species of property
(except such bonds as are exempt by law),
such a list would enable our people to see
who a* e our heavy tax-payers. H.

The Statistical Committee of the Augusta
Exchange have made the following report
for January :
To the President and Board of Directors of
the Augusta Exchange:
Gentlemen—The correctness of the in
formation received by us from our corres
pondents in reply to questions sent them for
our November report, upon the prospects
and condition of the cotton crop of this sec
tion, having been called into question in
well informed circles, we deemed it best to
send out the same series of questions again,
to cover the month of December, with spe
cial request to our correspondents to be very
careful in their answers to our 3d and 4th
questions. We now beg to submit the fol
lowing summary of 23 replies received from
18 counties, under date of January 1st.
1st Qaestion—H&s the weather for gath
ering the crop been more or less favorable
during the month of December than last
year ? Answer—rhe weather is universally
reported as far less favorable than in 1875.
The laBt ten days of the month continued
frosty, storms virtually suspending all labor
in the fields.
2d Qaestion—What proportion of the
crop has been picked, and when will it ail be
gathered? Answer—The crop is reported
as absolutely all picked, except in two
counties, but the cotton left in the fields
there is an insignificant percentage, and so
ruined by the late storms that it is not now
likely to be gathered.
3dQuestion—Will the yield in your
county be greater or less than last year ?
State increase or decrease. Answer—The
average of our replies state the yield very
positively as less by per eenh than last
season. This on an acreage of 54 to 6 per
cent, less than in 1875, would iudicate an
out-turn greater by about 3 per cent, per
aero, than during the previous season.
4th Question—What proportion -jf the
crop has been marketed from your section ?
Answer—The proportion of the crop al
ready marketed is placed on an average at
80 per cent.
5th Question—State fully and ail material
facts relative to the yield, nos covered by
the | foregoing questions. Answer—Red
lands have, as a rule, yielded much more
largely than last year, while light sandy
soils have not done as well as during the
preceding season. There seems to be no
doubt that the crop has yielded more lint in
proportion to seed cotton than usual. The
staple of all grades has proven very su
perior, while the average grade of the crop
has been more uniform and decidedly above
that of last season, but with a larger propor
tion of high colored and frost-stained cot
ton. Your committeo beg to call your
attention to the fact that our corre
spondents now report the out-turn of
the crop at 974 per cent, of that of
last season, as against 92 per cent, on the
1st of December, and the proporiion mar
keted January 1st, at 80 per cent., as against
75 per cent, reported 1st December. As
matter of further information, and for pur
poses ot comparison with the above, your
committoe beg to state that they have ob
tained the views and estimates of 22 receiv
ers and factors of cotton iu this city, as to
tho probable receipts at this point for the
current season, with the following result,
brought iu comparisou with last season’s
receipts :
Actual total receipts, 1875-6,169,986 bales
receipts to January 1,1876,126,837 bales; per
centage of receipts to January 1. 187G, 0.74
61-100; estimated total receipts 1876-7, 178,
700 bales; receipts to January 1, 1877, 151,-
085 bales; percentage of receipts to January
1, 1877, 0.76 04-100.
Of our receipts up to the 1st instant, as
near as can be ascertained, eome 8,000 or
10,000 bales were due to the long continued
epidemic at Savannah. But fully as much
cotton was lost to this market by increased
direct shipments to Northern mills and to
ports, from Atlanta, Athens and other
tributary interior points. If these premises
are correct, as we believe they aro, the ex
pected increase in receipts at this point of
nearly 20,000 bales ought to represent quite
closely the increased production of the terri
tory for which Augusta serves as a market,
aud woffld indicate an increased yield of lGj
per cent, over last season. We state these
facts for your information and for purposes
of comparison with the conclusions derived
from the letters of our correspondents. Our
cotton factors cover a much larger field of
information than your committee. They
are individually acquainted with the locali
ties where their correspondents live; and
for obvious reasons, watch tho results of
planting operations with great care and at
tention. With perfect confidence in the
good faith and sincerity of our correspon
dents, as to their statements of facts, we
cannot refrain from calling your attention
tc the great* discrepancy between their
opinions and those of our factors, whose
views furthermore are so clearly in accord
with the statistical information, both by our
State and the Uuited States Agricultural De
partments.
We beg to add, as matter of further in
terest aud information, that an average of
the estimates of thirty-eight cotton mer
chants of ibis city places the cotton crop
of the United States for the current season
at 4,320,000 bales. Very respectfully,

COURT CALENDAR.
The Had Death of Lucille Wentern.
A brief telegraphic dispatch has an
nounced the death in Brooklyn, N. Y., of
Fauline Lucille Western, well known to the
play-goers of Savannah, with whom she was
very popular, and hence a short sketch of
her life will prove of interest:
Miss Lucille Western was the elder of the
Western sisters, Helen, the other sistor,
who died some years ago, having also been
an actress. Lucille was born in New Or
leans on the 8th of January, 1833, aud made
her first appearance ou tho stage iu the
same city in 1858, with her sister, in a play
called “The Three Fast Men”—apiece which
was considered so very immoral that tho
stepfather of tho sisters, W. B. English,
who was also their manager, was enjoined
by tho courts from producing it in certain
citif s. Afterward Lucille Western acted in
Philadelphia under tho management of
Leonard Grover, and then she obtained
recognition as an actress of power.
Iu 1860 or thereabout sho appeared in
Baltimore iu a play written by Mr. Clifton
Tayleure. of Brooklyn, upon a novel by Mrs.
lleury Wood called “East Lynne,” This
drama upon which Mr. Tayleure never set
any great value, and which be sold for a
comparatively small sum of money to Miss
Western, made for that lady fame and for
tune. During sixteen years it is estimated
that tho profits of “East Lynne” which sho
produced in all the Southern and Western
nitiaa oti.rii lt^ttrncn HtVl an/1 ftttA
cities, were between $250,000 and $300,000.
At the time of her death she was under
engagement at the Park Theatre, Brooklyn.
She appeared for the last time on Wednes
day, the 10th, at the matinqe, when she be
gan to feel her illness (which was caused by
a severe cold) in a serious light, and a Miss
Tiffany assumed her part. The Brooklyn
Argus of the 12th says:
Miss Western had previously been oppor-
tuned by her physician, Dr. b. Fleet Speer,
to relinquish her engagement, but she in
sisted ou playing as long as she was able to
do bo. After leaving the theatre on
Wednesday nfternoon she hurried to the
Tierrepont House, and upon reaching her
room immediately went to bed. Dnring the
night she grew much worse, and when Dr.
Speer, who was summoned, arrived, she was
in a high fever, and he at once saw that she
had pneumonia. Yesterday morning she
ate a light breakfast and appeared much
better. Last evening at 5 o'clock she called
Mr. Cambridge, her agent, to her bedside,
and said, “la it time to go to the theatre?”
Bhe was informed that AILs Tiffany was to
take her part, and she appeared satisfied
aud laid, “Oh ! yes ; I remember now.” At
seven o’clock it became necessary to remove
her from her bed so that the clothing might
be arranged. While this was being done
she reclined upon a lounge. Upon her re
turn to her bed she fell heavily on the
pillow, and, motioning the nurses to leave,
sho beckoned Mr. Cambridge to her side,
nnd, clasping her aims around his neck,
sho said: “I am going to die. You’ve been
a good friend to me, Arthur, but I’ve found
rest at last.” Her physician was imme
diately summoned, but before he arrived
the spirit of Pauline Lucille Western had
laken flight.
Previous to her heath her mother was
telegraphed to as to her sickness, and an
answer was received directin' her to be
brought home immediately, but life had de
parted before it was received.
“She died like a child aud without a strug
gle,” said Mr. Cambridge, in an interview
this morning. “She has been the worst
treated woman that ever walked the boards,”
he continued, “she has lost over $500,000 by
trusting people who imposed upon her. She
was a good woman and had a kind heart.”
Colonel Sinn, Mr. George EdesoD, Mr.
John Wild and Mr. Arthur G. Chambers de
scribes Miss Western as having been a wo
man of indomitable will, and one who was
ever willing to assist those deserving of
charity.
