“A Celebrated Came.”
This noted and thrilling drama was on
Saturday presented at the matinee at the
Theatre by Miss Helen D’Este and her com
pany in excellent style, and to the great
entertainment of the appreciative audience.
The play is one that enlists the interest of
the audience at the commencement and re
tains it to the close—it is prolific of striking
.situations, thrilling encounters, entertain
ing scenes and good dialogue. The
company, which is a fine one,
was judiciously cast—every character being
well sustained, and the entire
piece of six acts progressed smoothly to the
end. Miss D’Este as “A Irienne,” the con
vict’s daughter, gave additional evidence of
her fine capabilities as an accomplished
actress. The part is an emotional one, and
in such characters this lady stands without
a rival. Her costumery is appropriate and
very elegant, and she has already established
herself as one of Savannah’s favorite
actresses. The “Jean Renaud” of Spencer
Pritchard was a successful impersonation of
a difficult part, while Mr. J. B. Howard kept
the audience in constant good humor by
his eccentric and pleasing performance
of “Dennis O’Rourke.” The entire com
pany is worthy of special mention, and
we ean candidly commend their presentation
of this piece. Miss Helen Marr as “ Valen
tine D’Momay,” rendered the character in
a style that completely won the audience.
She is a fine actress, of good presence,
easy, graceful manners, and a remarkably
mellifluous voice, which she has well under
control, and her readiug is excellent. The
“Duchess” was finely persouated by Miss
Maud Stuart, whilst the “Raoul P’Langley”
of Mr. E. H. Harrison, “Duke D’Auberterre”
of Mr. Frank Montford, and the “Count
D’Momay” of Mr. Cottrill,were exceedingly
good.
The same play was repeated in the even
ing before an usual Saturday night au
dience, and in equally a satisfactory man
ner.
•
MIsn Charlotte Thompson.
Of this accomplished actress, who ap
pears at the Savannah Theatre to-night
in the beautiful drama of “Jane Eyre,” the
Montgomery Adi’crtiser says:
“Notwithstanding the muddy streets,
there was a very good house last night to
.greet Miss Charlotte Thompson in her fare
well appearance. The play was ‘The
Hunchback,’and in the character of Julia,
Miss Thompson had an opportunity of dis
playing her -exceptionally fine powers as
an emotional actress, and these powers no
one can deny that she possesses in a high
degree.
“The characters of Helen, Lord Tinsel,
Master Walter, Fathom and Modus were
well sustained, and. in short, tjija entire play
was rendered in a manner highly creditable
to the company. We do not know where
• hey play next, but we cordially commend
their* to lovers of fine acting everywhere.”
The OpfrcMa oj Red Riding Hood.
We learn that on Wednesday, pecember
4th, the very beautiful and charming operoita
of “Red Riding Hood” will be presented
at the Theatre for a worthy purpose, under
the auspices of Mrs. J. W. Cameron, one of
Savannah’s most popular and accomplished
musicians. The operetta will be performed
by children of our citizens, who have re
ceived the careful training of Mrs. Cameron,
and a most entertaining affair may be an
ticipated. Several rehearsals, we learn,
have already been had, and with entire sat
isfaction. We doubt not the entertainment
will be greeted by a large house. The de
tails of the performance will be known in
time.

Savaunnli’s Bond Coin promise—The
Liberality or Baltimore Bond
holders.
The liberal spirit manifested by the hold
ers of city of Savannah bonds resident at
Baltimore city is deserving of the highest
credit, and is thoroughly appreciated by cur
municipal administration, that has worked
so assiduously for the city’s credit and striven
so strongly to do justice to the bondholders.
In the city of Baltimore there are held over
four hundred thousand dollars of the
bonds of the city of Savannah, the holders
of which, we are pleased to say, have shown
a willing disposition to accept promptly the
compromise offered by the city in settle
ment of this outstanding indebtedness. It
will be remembered that last summer Mr. D.
G. Purse, Chairman of the Finance Commit
tee, visited Baltimore, and at a large meeting
of the bondholders in that.city, addressed
them at length on the subject of the com
promise, explaining fully the condi
tion of the city, and the desire of the
administration and the people to offer as
fair terms as were possible. This lucid ex
position of our financial affairs had a
marked effect, the bondholders being in
telligent, experienced business men. A
numb** then and there expressed their
willingness to accept the compromise.
Since then, through t&e intelligent efforts of
Messrs. Wilson, Colston & Go., a promi
nent and influential banking firm of that
city many others have been induced to give
ready acceptance to the proposition, and it
is now, we are glud to say, understood that
all of them will do likewise. On Saturday
Mayor Wheaton received a letter from
Messrs. W'ilsoyi, Colston & Co., enclosing a
large number of ln>ud£ to be cancelled, &c.
From the letter we are permitted to make
the following extract: “Every one of
the bond owners who sued on their
coupons through us have now accepted,
your compromise. We will make a complete
job in Baltimore.” This Is very ratifying
information, and is conclusive proof of the
liberality and intelligent progress!ve.spmt
of the business men cf Baltimore, with
whom Savannah’s friendly commercial re
lations of the past will be greatly increased.
An Old Shanty Burned.
About nine o’clock last night an alarm of
fire was turned in from statiod No at
the jail, which had the effect of attracting
to that locality a very large number of people.
From some cause the wires did not work
well and It was almost Impossible to
determine what number was struck. A
bright light in the southwestern
horizon, however, indicated the locality,
and thither the firemen proceeded
with their usual promptness. On reaching
lull it was discovered that a small one-
story unoccup!“*i frame baUding Elated'
Street, near Montgomery, lew isolated,
was on tire. The department got to work
at once and prevented the flames from
spreading. The building, which, we are in
formed, had been used at times as a resort
for chicken thieves and other midnight
depredators, was destroyed. The fire was
undoubtedly the work of an incendiary, as
no one was in the place at the time. I he
building belonged to the estate of Haber
sham and was uninsured.

The steamer St. John’s, of the Charleston,

Gen. G. M. Sorrel Is the general agent
at Savannah, left this city on Sat
urday morning at 5 o’clock, and made
the run to Charleston In six hours, where
she remained until 8 p. m., when she started
on her return trip, arriving at the wharf in
this city at 9:15 Saturday night. A number of
citizens, apprised of her coming, and anx
ious to inspect the magnificent steamer,
proceeded to the wharf and went aboard,
spending a half hour very pleasantly. The
unanimous verdict rendered, so to speak,
was that she is the finest steamboat that has
ever been in our waters.

fore been published of this steamer fails to
give a correct idea of her admirable adapta
tion to the business in which she 16 en
gaged. No expense has been spared in
fitting her up, and for the comfortable and
even luxurious entertainment of the pas
sengers everything has been done which it
is possible to imagine. That our readers
who have not yet had the pleasure of seeing
her may form an idea of her magnificence,
we give herewith a description of several
features, about which the traveling public
are particularly interested, and concerning
which they should be informed. We com
mence with the
DINING SALOON.
This is on the lower deck, just aft of the
after gangway, aud extending th*e full
width of the deck, has a row of windows on
each side, thus securiug ample ventilation.
The tables and chairs are of dark wood,
highly polished, and the chairs are finished
with Russia leather, making most comforta
ble and lasting seats. About one hundred
persons can dine at one time. At one end
of the saloon is a handsome mirror, and at
the other a buffet, on which stand three sil
ver steam heaters of a new patent, for mak-
iug coffee and tea, and keeping them hot
without boiling after the making. The sugar
dishes, milk pots, spoons, forks and so forth
are all of silver, and cups aud saucers,
dishes and plates of china, and the
saloon, when the tables are all set, pre
sents a very haudsome display. As au
adjunct of the dining room there i6 a very
complete pantry, in which there are an ice
house, a steam heater, hot aud cold water,
aud small closets for stowing away the
crockery so that it cannot be shaken, while
innumerable brass hooks, on which small
cups are hung by their handles, adorn the
front of the large cupboard of which the
closet* form small com partments. Opposite
the pautry, on the other side of the ship, is a
smoking room which will charm all lovers
of the fragrant weed. Back of the diuing
room is a small cabin, in which are berths
for about forty persons, and from it a stair
case leads below, where there are accommo
dations for as many more. These berths
are conveniently arranged, furnished with
spring beds, linen sheets aud the best
blankets, and are very handsome and at
tractive.
THE MAIN SALOON,
which is reached by a wide and easy stair
case, is of course the feature of the boat.
It is two hundred feet loug, is carpeted with
elegant Brussels carpeting and furnished
with most luxurious sofas and chairs. The
upper deck is supported by a series of
arches, nearly two hundred in number, be
tween which at the ends are placed colored
lights, the effect ot which is to show a vista
of rainbows from any part of the saloon.
Whether in the forward or the after part of
this loug room, you seem to see its whole
length, for the view is reflected on either
side by immense mirrors fourteen feet high
by eight feet wide.. There are fifty-six state
rooms opening off the saloon, all fitted up
in luxurious style and all carpeted with
Brussels or Afghan carpets. The large state
rooms have double bedsteads, such as are
used in houses on shore, while the
smaller ones (the word smaller is only used
comparatively, as all are large), have
berths. Some of the large staterooms have
private parlors of the same size opeuing on
them, and some of the staterooms are ar
ranged in sets of four, one large and the
others not so large, the suite being intended
for the accommodation of a family or a
party. The bedsteads and berths are all
hung with lace curtains, and the windows
with silk, the latter being also provided
with Venetian blinds. The system of ven
tilation is admirable, permitting the air to
enter the staterooms on all sides when de
sired. Windows are arranged at the for
ward end of the main saloon, so that pas
sengers can view the scenery without ex
posing themselves to the weather. There
are also glass windows to the engine room,
so that the machinery can be seen without
inconvenience from 6moke or heat. The
Captain’s quarters are on the upper deck
aud are handsomely finished in hard wood.
FREIGHT ROOM.
Her capacity for freight is very great, it
beitig stated that she can accommodate with
ease nearly twice as much freight as any
steamer formerly running on the line could
take, and hence will undoubtedly become
very popular with shippers.
SPEED.
As a proof of her speed, it may he men
tioned that she made the run from New
York to Charleston ou her first trip In forty-
eight hours, aud only carrying twenty-
pounds of steam, and the machinery brand
new. The Captain says that with the usual
complement of steam for a vessel of her
capacity and the engines working freely,
she could make the trip in a little over
thirty-five hours. She can average seven
teen knots an hour, and experienced steam
boat in a in New York awarded her the
praise of being the fastest boat that floats.
The quick time of 6ix hours made on the
trip from Charleston to Savannah on Satur
day, as above stated, is another evidence of
her speed.
The measurements of the St. John’s are
as follows: Length, between perpendiculars.
250 feet; over guards, 257 feet; breadth of
hull, 38 feet; over all, 65 feet 6 inches;
depth from base line to top of beam at mid
ship, 14 feet; sheer forward, 4 feet 6 inches;
aft, 2 feet. The engines are of the most
approved pattern and are beautiful speci
mens of mechanism. Diameter of cyl
inder, 66 inches; stroke of piston, 12
feet; engine arranged with Stevens’ cut
off and filled with a Lighthall surface
condenser; two boilers with flue below
aud return through tubes; length, 21
feet; width, 14 feet; height, 10 feet, working
under a pressure of 35 pounds of steam;
diameter of wheel, 33 feet 6 inches; face of
wheel, 9 feet 3 inches. She is of fore and
aft rig, with lug sails and squaresail on fore
mast. Her hull is built of iron- Registered
tonnage, 1,084. She is painted white with
gilt finish.
HER STAFF OF OFFICERS.
“On deck” is Captain Leo Vogel, well
and popularly known to the traveling pub
lic. aud for a long time the skillful, genial
commander cf the Dictator. He is an ex
perienced seatnab, competent officer and
courteous gentleman, and has been con
nected with tfie Florida line for the last
thirteen jears. Captain Vogel Is a native
of Charleston, and ai the early age
of ten years shipped on board the
ship John Ravenel, formerly sailing
between Charleston and Europe, and
he remained on board of her until he ac
quired a thorough knowledge of everything
pertaining to the duties of a mariner, and
has followed the sea ever since. Mr. A. G.
Cavedo is the purser, and a more polite or
efficient one cannot be found. He has filled
the same position on the City Point for
mail7 v 7 ars - -Mr- L. Beausang is first offi
cer, Mr. C. Burg secona omcer, both 0?
whom are competent, experienced and effi
cient. Mr. John Dole io chief engineer,
and Messrs. Hugh McCulldugh and J. Fitz^
gerald are first and second assistant engi
neers. They are thoroughly capable, pan.
Escride, who has weathered many a gale
and who is perfectly familiar with every
6hoal between Savannah. Charleston and Pa-
latka, is the pilot, and a good one he is. The
cuisine,1s in charge of Wm. Claggett, an ex
perienced steward, who has as his assistant
Francis Deveaux. The table is supplied
with everything that can tempt the appe
tite, for Claggett knows how to prepare the
Creature vomforta.
The general agent at this port, Gen. G.
M. Sorrel, Is well known in our community
as an active,energetic and thoroughly experi
enced business man, and most courteous
gentleman, and it may be safely assumed
that the interests of this fine steamer, will
he greatly advanced in such competent
hands.
Mrl John F. Jtobertson, favorably known
In connection with the Florida line, is re
tained as freight agent, and will always be
found at his post, accommodating and
genial.
Under such management, with such offi
cers and possessing such elegant comforts
«nd conveniences, it may be asserted, beyond
peradventure,! *he steamer St. John’s
will not only prove popular en4 a favorite
with the traveling public, but will be suc
cessful and remunerative to the enterprising
owners, who have placed so magnificent a
boat on the line.
_ h-»k
A Handsome hatb;.
A handsome new steam launch,
bearing the familiar name, “ Ogee-
chee,” Captain B. F. Peet, arrived at this
port Saturday from Bristol, R. L, at 10:30
o’clock, and moored at the wharf near the
Upper Rice Mills, where she was visited
yefterday by a large number of citi
zens. She was built ip October expressly
for Mr. Geo. Appleton, of Savannah, by
the Ilerreshoff Manufacturing Company, of
Bristol. Her length is 50 feet, average
width 8W, tonnage 8.39, with a steam
pressure allowed of 100 pounds. She can
make 15 miles an hour, her usual run
ning speed being 12>£ miles. She pas
two bunks and may carry eight or
ten passengers. The “Ogeechee” Is very
narrow for her length, bat having been
built for speed, she rides through the water
gracefully and like a very “thing of life,”
THE COTTON WOHJI.
Some Points of au Interesting In
vestigation.
Prof. A. R. Grote, Agent of the Depart
ment of Agriculture at Washington, and
Vice President of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science, whose arri
val in In the city was noted a few days since,
is engaged in the work of collecting data
relative to the cotton worm and the diseases
of the cotton plant, to which he has long
paid attention. According to Prof. Grote,
the cotton worm (Alttia argiRacea, of Hub-
ner) is a native of Brazil, the West Indies
and Central America, where the cot
ton plant Is perennial. Its ravages
were very great in the French West Indies
at the close of the last century, and
induced the migration of French families
from Martinique to Georgia in 1802. The
cotton worm was Introduced Into the United
States subsequent to the cultivation of the
cotton plant, upon which it feeds. The
theory brought forward by Prof. Grote is
that the insect comes in the fly state yet
from the West Indies with the south winds
every year. This fly deposits its eggs and
produces the first brood, which in South
western Georgia occurs sometimes as early
as the latter part of June, but on the coast
later.
This year not until the 1st of September
was the first worm seen on Dr. Lawton’s
plantation near Savannah. The worms are
the product of the eggs deposited on the
under side of the cotton leaf by the fly. In
about three weeks these worms web up and
become a black chrysalis in a thin cocoon
between a fold in the leaf, and hatch out as
a fly again. This new fly, born in the South,
moves northward as a general direction, and
in this way the country is overrun by the
several ensuing broods. The fly has been
found by Professor Riley to suck the honey
from a little gland on the midrib of the leaf
below. There are two general aspects of
the cotton worm question, according to
Professor Grote. First, for the individual
planter; the next for the consideration of
the government. As to the first, he can
only use poison when the worm appears, if
It comes early. If it comes late it will
not do enough harm to warrant much
expense in killing it. Paris green, in
a liquid form, or carbolic acid
diluted and sprayed upward through the
plauts will be found the most effective and
economic way to kill the worm. A sprinkling
machine run through the rows on wheels
and worked when the first brood of worms
appears will go far to protect the crop for
the balance of the year. Paris green put
on dry is too expensive and difficult to get
to the leaf beneath where the young worms
and eggs arc to be found. Care must be
taken with thehandliug of Paris green, as it
is a skin poison as well as fatal if taken in
ternally. It has been found the most effec
tive for the worm, and was recommended by
Prof. Riley. Kerosene, if it can only be
well mechanically mixed with water, is also
good if sprayed or sprinkled on the plants.
Where water is scarce, as on some planta
tions which rely on wells, the expense of
wet poisoning will he increased. Care
should be taken to keep the poisons from
the seed cotton, but these remedies should
be used only against the first crop of
worms before the bolls open. The
government should consider, Prof. Grote
thinks, whether in the event that the immi
gration theory of Prof. Grote prove true, it
would not be well to employ extraordinary
means to destroy the worm In special locali
ties when it appears early and in numbers.
In this way the northward progress of the
worm would be effectually checked by
destroying the first brood. A system of
quarantine would be thus established. If
the worm comes late these extraordi
nary efforts would not be needed.
The insect is found In the fly state in the
winter, but these flies die before the young
cotton is up in the spring. The young cotton
never shows the true cotton worm. Conse
quently the worm in the summer must he
produced from fresh flies coming from the
southward. Prof. Grote would be glad of
any information ou the subject. He i6
about visiting the islands on the coast. His
address in town is care of Messrs. Sloat,
Bussell & Co., 76 Bay street.'
APPROACHING INTER-STATE
RIFLE CONTEST.
Prospect* of a Successful Heeling—
The Arrangements Completed.
The Captains of the teams from the
several companies in Charleston who will
engage in the inter-State contest on Thurs
day next, 28th inst., in that city, have held
a meeting and perfected all necessary de
tails. Captains Day, Bruns and Bulwinklc
took charge of the drawing of positions
for the various teams, with the following
result:
COMPETITION NO. 4—TEAMS OF TEN MEN.
1. German Volunteers Target No. 1.
2. Sumter Guards No. 2.

6. Georgia Hussars No. 2
7. German Volunteer Guards No. 3
8. Savannah Volunteer Guards No. 4
9. German Hussars No. 1
10. Palmetto Guard No. 2
The Republican Blues team, not having
made their entry in time, were not included
in the drawing for positions. We under
stand, however, that information has been
received from the Fusiliers that a team of
six can be entered for one of the matches in
which the entries have not closed, and that
the team will be made up.
In considering the necessity of saving as
much time as possible, the representatives
of the teams decided to open the contest
with the teams of ten men and end with the
teams of four men. Four teams will shoot
at a time, and it is expected that the shoot
ing w)li be qonp wjth as little delay as pos
sible, and that the shouting abed will be
kept free of all persons not using the tar
gets. The entire scores will be kept by four
men, two of whom will he selected by the
Charleston umpires, and two by the Savan
nah mnpiies. It is confidently anticipated
that the contest will he one of the best that
has ever taken place In I he South.
Planters Hotel.
The Monticello (Fla.) Constitution pays the
following well-deserved tribute to the Plan
ters Hotel and its popular and energetic
proprietor, Mr. John Bresnan, who has suc
ceeded in rendering it a preat favorite with
the public. The constitution says:
“Under the careful management of Mr.
John Bresnan, proprietor, assisted by Col.
M. L- Harnett, hi* chief clerk, the Planters
has become the most popular hotel in the
city of Savannah—ana every one is profuse
in its praise. The tables are always sup
plied with the choicest viands, the cham
bers are furnished with new and elegant
furniture, the servants are experienced, re
spectful and attentive, and the proprietor
aud his assistants are constantly ou the nU-t
to administer to the comfort of guests.
The pantfrs is q prqcninent illustration of
what enterprise and energy can accomplish
when properly applied. Mr. Bresnan’s am
bition was to establish a first-class hotel in
the ‘Forest City,’ at a moderate charge to
guests, and the success he has encountered
must be truly gratifying.”
Police Arrests.
Up to 1 o'clock this morning the police
had made five arrests, of which three were
colored and two white people. They com
prised a white man, who was drnnk and dis
orderly: Wm. Butler, colored, who stole and
butchered a cow belonging to Mr. T. E.
Harvey; Geo. Gordon, colored, charged
with assaulting Louisa Reddy, colored, in
her huuse on Little Jones street; Susan
King, colored, arrested for disorderly con
duct, and a belligerent individual for resist
ing an officer.
A Raid.
Saturday evening a raid was made upon a
notorious den near the corner of Montgom
ery street and Broughton street lane by a
posse, and some fifteen persons bagged and
carried to the police barracks. There was
resistance to arrest, and a pistol was dis
charged by one of the raiding party, which
had the effect of quieting the tumult and in
ducing the parties to gracefully succumb.
They will be tried before the Police Court
this morning.
— »* H-t-H
Butchering a Cow*
A colored individual by the name ©f Wm.
Baker was arrested Saturday evening in the
Market on the charge of st^ljng and butcher
ing a cow, and was carried to the barracks,
where he was lodged subject to the requisi
tion of a magistrate. This trooper is the
same one, we understand, who recently cut
Policeman Langbell’s horse.

A Terr|blo Auiaem.
King Dorsey, a colored man employed as
section hand on the Central Railroad, met
with a terrible and probably fatal accident
Saturday morning about six o’clock. He
was turning the crank of a hand
car on the line between the six
teen and seventeen mile posts, when
the coat sleeve of his left arm became en
tangled In the crank. Ills arm was violent
ly drawn into the cog wheels and bro
ken in several places, and torn al
most completely from the socket. He
was brought to the city on the eight o’clock
freight train in an unconscious condition,
and taken to St. Joseph’s Infirmary. In
consequence of the lack of surgical atten
tion lie suffered from great loss of blood,
aud his condition is now regarded as criti
cal.
The Pavement for West Broad Street
The steamship City of Columbus, wh(cfi
arrived here on yesterday morniDg from New
York, brought among other freight one hun
dred tons of Belgian block, to be used in
the repaving of West Broad street.
The work of paving the street will be shortly
commenced, and, under the efficient direc
tion of the Chairman of Streets and Lanes,
will be pushed to completion in the best
manner. It is expected that one hundred
tons of the block will be brought out by
each succeeding steamer, until the full
quantity has been delivered.
The Physiology or the Liver*
The liver is the larges; secreuag organ In the
human oody, and the bile which it secretes is
more liable to vitiation and misdirection from
its proper channels than any other of t^e
animal fluids. Luckijy lor the bilious, how
ever, there is an unfailing source of relief from
liver complaint, namely, Hostetter a Stomach
