TI»c Excursion to Beaufort — The
Steamer Anchor* oil'Tybee ou Her
Return Trip.
Th.*' fine steamer Dictator left yesterday
morning at eight o’clock for Beaufort with
a large excursion party, packer the auspices
of the Werner Hook and Ladder Company.
The party expected to be back by 30:30
o’clock last night, and our dispatch from
the Tybee Telegraph station at 8:30 an
nounced that the steamer had passed in.
Later the tulh;wing telegram was received:
“Tybee, July 25, 11p.m.—The steamer
Dictator, with the excursion from Beaufort
aboard, anchored near light ship at 9 n. m.
Don't know the trouble.”
Later—1:45 a. m.—The steamer has just
reached her wharf. The detention was oc
casioned by running aground at 9 ff m. off
Tybee knoll, in consequence of the steamer
running too close to shore. No accident
occurred, and the excursionists reported
hayipg a pleasant day, although wearied out
by the defay iu reaching home. Those who
live on the suburbs,and who had taken their
children with them, were particularly medi
tative and subdued, as they expected to be
home several hours earlier.
Berman Friendly Society Picnic.

it may be anticipated that our German fel
low citizens, with their families aud friends,

road during the day. A fine string band
of music has been engaged, and dancing
will be enjoyed in the commodious and
pleasant pavilion. If you wish to pass an

A Grand Success— 1 The Entertain
ment at the Theatre Last Night.
The performance given at the Theatre last
evening by the Volunteer Amateur Dramatic
Association, for the benefit of the Republi
can Blues armory fund, was an unqualified
and brilliant success in every particular.
The audience was unusually large, the en
tire seating capacity of the dress circle and
parquette being occupied, as were all the
private boxes, and the family circle and gal
lery were well patronized. The audience
was composed of the best class of our citi
zens, and we err not in stating that
they were thoroughly entertained, and the
universal verdict was that the performance
was undoubtedly the very best ever given
by amateurs in the city of Savannah. It
was in truth a brilliant and triumphant suc
cess, and reflected the highest credit upon
Mr. James C. Shaw, who devoted the few
leisure moments from his arduous busi
ness duties to “drilling” the amateurs
and arranging a dramatic entertain
ment that would have done honor
to old professionals. The performance
opened with the popular and romantic
drama, iu two acts, entitled “Gold,” other
wise “The Seven Clerks,” one of the oldest
dramas on the American stage, and one
of the most popular. The dramatis per
sons comprised a number of the popular
members of the Blues, with volunteer as
sistance, the character of “ Victorine” being
personated by Mrs. W. H. Cotter, nee Miss
Sallie. Hunter, an old favorite in the Ark
wright Amateur Association. The entire
caste was well sustained; there was no
prompting; the costumes were appropriate,
and the performance was so creditable and
satisfactory that it were difficult to award
the meed ol praise in particularizing. This
may seem strong language in noticing an
amateur performance, but it is deserved
in the fullest measure, and w’e can consci
entiously pronounce the efforts of the ama
teurs of last night really splendid. The
talent developed is a credit to Savannah,
and an evidence that we have sufficient his
trionic ability in our midst to justify the
undertaking of even greater tasks.
The drama was followed by a quartette
composed of Messrs. P. H. Ward, E. F.
Bryan, Frank E. Rebarer and A. Graeffe,
who rendered very capitally a beautiful bal
lad, entitled “Sweet Genevieve,” and were
complimented by a hearty encore.
After this came the Railroad Quartette
and Brannagan’s Band, which was simply
“ immense.” The costumes were incongru
ous, and the antics unique. The band crea
ted a furore and sensation, and in response
to applause which “ would not down ” were
compelled to reappear, when the audience
were treated to a prize drill and a dress pa
rade, executed iu a style of perfection
till mi lira mult Hardee weep uni
NtfMfllMffi
guises, and their reception attested their
personal popularity. The “gods of the gal
lery” literally went into paroxysms of de
light over their appearance.
A song and dance was billed to follow the
famous band, but announcement was made
from the stage that this would be omitted
for cause, and a Dutch oration, by a well
known dialect artist and popular member of
the Blues, would be substituted in lieu there
of. This lecture was a hit, aud was greeted
with enthusiastic applause.
The performance concluded with the ever
popular aud pleasing scene (not unfamiliar
to Benedicts of the “frolicsome oyster”
species) entitled “Lullaby’s Troubles,”
which was presented with a fidelity to na
ture and effect that would have put to blush
even All Burnett and the accomplished
Helen Nash as “Mr. and Mis. Candle.”
We congratulate Mr. Shaw upon the ad
mirably success of the entertainment, which
was in no small measure due to hjs individu
al efforts, and award the highest credit to
the accomplished lady and the gentlemen
who kindly volunteered their services iu the
cause. It w'AS * performance of which they,
one and all, may justly feel

Tlie Gallant Dead—Far Nobile. Bra?
truxxx.
The Atlanta Constitution of Sunday, al
luding to the anniversary of the battle
arvujijl Atlanta, says :
“Fourteen yeau agq. yesterdav, there was
fought, Just beyond ihe isemetBry, gne of
the bloodiest and fiercest battles of the civil
war. Many of our citizens vividly remem
ber' the breathless interest with which the
people of the bombarded city awaited the
terrible conflict.
“The battle ground has now become his
toric. Ou the spot* whetG General McPher
son fell there stands a monument to bis
memory. Not far from the same spot fell
General Walker, one of the most dashing of
the Confederate leaders.
“Both sides lost many of their best men
in the rank and file. Yesterday we received
from Carl L. Brandt, of New York, a litho
graph copy of two portraits painted by him.
The subjects were two gallant young Geor
gians who fell before our city on that trying
day. Early iu the fight fell Captain Joseph
Clay Habersham, of Savannah, while on
General Gist’s staff. Soon after his brother,
Wm. Neyle Habersham, quite young, fell at
the post of duty and of honor.
“Both these young men were of that su
perb type of Southern manhood which gave
to the Southern army its chivalry and its
dash.
“Yesterday was the anniversary of their
death, and not of theirs only but the death
of many true men who fell on both sides.
To one who rode over the battle ground
there was little sign of the destruction that
once blasted it. The old trenches are al
most sunk into common earth. The forest
has almost repaired the glories which shot
and shell tore from it iu wrath. The long
lines of graves which were dug on the
bloody ground have long since been unbur
dened' of their dead, and the grass grows as
if it had never been torn and trodden by
two armies. All was perfect peace there
yesterday. The radiant sunset sent a tender
light through the old oaks that saw all the
story, and the breezes gave a music so faint
andVweet that one might easily fancy it a
requiem for the dead.”

THE VISIT OF THE MACON VOL-
LNTEERSTO SAVANNAH.
A Pleasant Account of the Trip and
Record of Experiences.
Macon, Ga., July 24.—Editor Morning
News: If you think the good people of Sa-
vauuah have not grown tired of hearing of
their good deeds, I would like to use you as a
medium for throwing a few shovelsful of sa
cred dust upon a mound of praise that has
lately been erected ir this city, in memory
of the recent excursion participated in by
the Macon Volunteers and their friends to
your city and Tybee Island.
The enthusiasm generated in the hearts of
each member of our company by this trip
has swollen to such proportions that I am
fearful the exhaust offered through formal
resolutions (prompted so often by courtesy
alone) will not fully express the genuine
gratitude felt by each member of our corps
for your citizens and soldiery.
The theme is an endless one for discussion
when the members meet in the armory or
out of it. And if the spirit of the listeners
who were so unfortunate asnot to be partici
pators on the trip is only kept up till we
repeat it next year, you may prepare for
the moving of a human tide out of Macon
for Tybee that will put the island accom
modations to its fullest capacity.
We of the interior are fast developing a
strong fancy for sea-side recreations, and
the many beauties and comforts portrayed
so richly by our whole party will help to
make Tybee the “Long Branch” of Georgia.
If not the above, then let it approach it
by calling it “Branchville,” as the name of
Branch is connected in our minds with every
pleasure on the island.
Yes, the Lieutenant must have a monu
ment, and the Macon Volunteers are among
the petitioners for one that will live with
him and perpetuate his name in after life
forever.
The ladies who went with us have so fully
corroborated the avowal made, that “the
girls we left behind” us are now looking
over fashion books for knobby styles of
bathing suits to make up at once, as a guar
antee that they will enlist with us next year.
The Savannah Cadets, being our special
hosts, met us with flowing bowl and viands
so temptiug that they soon reached the
fondest places in our hearts, which was
followed by a brotherly intercourse that
acted like a sesame to the sacred casket of
love. *
The next flattering compliment was ex-
tended by the Savannah Volunteer Guards,
who honored us in a body by their presence
on the island, accompanied by a myriad of
Savannah's fairest daughters, in whose eyes

Sl/ICTDE OF A WELL KNOWN
CHARACTER.
He Kills Himself in Colqmbia, S. C,
Earl}' last fall an old man named T. W.
Cutts made his appearance in this city,
claiming to be in search of a son, whom he
stated had robbed him in Baltimore of all
his means. He asserted that lie had pur
sued his unnatural offspring to Ireland and
thence back to America, and the pursuit
had exhausted his meanc. Ife claimed to
be a Freemason and a member of the fra
ternity in Baltimore, and as such visited
several Masonic bodies in this city. His
persistent applications for Masonic relief
led some of the members of the fraternity
to make the necessary inquiries, and it was
found that he was not in good standing,
louring a portion of his sojourn in this city
he was an inmate of the Savannah Hospital.
About two months since he disappeared,
and nothing further was heard of him until
a notice that he had committed suicide ap
peared in the papers. From this account it
seems that he went from here to Augusta,
where he became an inmate of the City
Hospital, and was the cause, by his corn-
plants, of an investigation by the City Coun
cil.
Last Friday he left Augusta and went to
Columbia, S. C., where he died on Sunday,
after taking ap pyerqosn qf laudanum. His
remains were taken in charge by tfio Mason
ic fraternity of Columbia and decently in
terred.

Surest Tranquilizer of the Nerves.
The surest tranquilizer of the nerves is a
medicine which remedies their supersensitive
ness by invigorating them. Over-tension of
the nerves always weakens them. What they
need, then, is a tonic, not a sedative. The lat
ter is only useful when there is intense mental
excitement and an immediate necessity exists
for producing quietude of the brain. Hostet-
ter's Stomach Bitters restores tranquility of
nerves by endowing them w ith the vigor re
quisite to bear, without being jarred or disturb
ed unhealthfully. the ordinary impressions pro
duced through the media of sight, hearing and
reflection. Nay, it does more than this—it ena
bles them to sustain a degree of tension from
mental application which they would be totally
unable to endure without its assistance. Such
at least is the irresistibleconclusion to be drawn
from the testimony of business and professional
men, litterateurs, clergymen and others who
have tested the fortifying and reparative influ
ence of this celebrated tonic and nervine.
