Fatal Accident to a Sea Captain.
Captain W. Wischhusen, of the bark
Niagara, of Bremen, which is loading at
the Tyler Press, met with a very painful if
not serious accident on Saturday. He was
standing in the middle of a bridge span
ning the decks of the bark Joe Rauersand the
Niagara, and superintending the hoisting of
a bale of cotton which had fallen into the
water between the two vessels. As the
bale was being drawn up it swerved and
struck the end of the plank on which he
was standing, canting it and precipitating
him down the hatchway of the Joe Hauers.
He fell between decks, painfully bruising
his back and partially l'ar.ihzing by the
shock his legs, from the hips downward,
lie was taken up ami carried to the Savan
nah Hospital, where he received efficient
attention. Ilis injuries, however, proved of
a more si<rioi|s character than was anticipat
ed, and resulted in his death yesterday
morning.

Tlie Theatre— A Dramatic Treat—
Jliss Tlionipftou’* Fugagemcut.
Our appreciative theatre goers last even
ing enjoyed a very delightful treat in the
presentation of the beautiful drama
of “Jane Eyre” by Miss Charlotte
Thompson and her excellent company.
The audience comprised the culture aud re
finement of the city, the fair sex being
largely represented.
Miss Thompson’s personation of “Jane
Eyre” is remarkable for its perfectness.
Her conception and faithful portraiture of
the character most unmistakably shows her
great dramatic genius, and her ease and na
turalness, the wonderful play of her ex
pressive features, more eloquent than
words, at once elicited the admiration of
the audience and completely won their
hearts. Finer acting has rarely if ever been
seen on our boards, and we may unhesitat
ingly say that never was an audi
ence more thoroughly charmed aud
delighted. In several of the scenes
w ith Rochester, particularly where he makes
his appearance after the accident and comes
limping into the room, and in the scene
where their mutual love is revealed, the
house was completely entranced, ant} at
tested their delight by the heartiest plaudits.
Indeed, Miss Thompson’s portraiture is so
perfect as to be beyond the pale of criti
cism.
Lord Rochester was well sustained by Mr.
F. Lorenz, who, however, in one or two in
stances, would have made a better impres
sion by throwing a little more earnestness
into his part, or evincing a little more en
thusiasm.
Miss Ida Lewis made an excellent “Lady
Georgiana,” whilst Miss Loui=a Watson’s
“Mrs. Fairfax” was a really splendid per
formance. “Frederick Linn” was well
personated by Mr. YVooderson, who as
sumed the manner aud talk of the insipid
fop admirably. Mr. Gregory’s “Jacob But
tercup” could not have been better, and was
heartily applauded. This gentleman also
sustained the character of “Brockelhurst,”
in the prologue, with great ability. In fact,
the general support was exceedingly good,
and in this respect Miss Thompson i£ more
fortunate than some “stars.”
After the second and third acts Mjss
Thompson was called before the curtain
aud received the renew ed applause of the
audience.
This evening the great emotional play,
entitled “Miss Multon,” will be pre
sented, aud we anticipate equally as
fiue treat as was enjoyed last night.
There will no doubt be a crowded house,
and those who have not secured
seats should call at once at Bren’s and get
them. Such an actress as Miss Thompson,
with her good support, deserves the best of
audiences.
At the matinee to-morrow afternoon,
“Jane Eyre” will be repeated. Op this oc
casion the prices will be fifty and twenty-
five cents.
The Savannah Port Society.
On Thursday evening next the John T.
Ford Amateur Association give an enter
tainment at the Theatre for the benefit of
the Savannah Port Society. This is one of
the most excellent charitable institutions in
the city, &nd is deserving of liberal support.
Our readers know full well that the Ford
Amateur Association give an excellent per
formance, aud aside from the object for
which it is given, the entertainment will he
well worth the price of admission. Those
who have not vet secured tickets should do
so without delay. A very attractive pro
gramme is announced for the occasion.
A Bold Thief.
A negro man passing iu fronl of Mr. Gpo.
W. Allen’s crockery store on Broughton
street, between Montgomery and Jefferson
streets, about two o’clock p. m. yesterday,
boldly picked up a large basket .displayed
on the sidewalk, and walked leisurely off
with it. He was seen and pursued, upon
observing which he fled rapidly down the
street, and dropping the basket at the
corner of Jefferson, escaped in the direc
tion of Bay street. The affair created con
siderable excitement in that usually quiet
locality.
Large Shipments of Cotton.
The British steamship Lamperts was
cleared yesterday for Reval by Messrs.
Wilder & Co., with 5,165 bales of upland
cotton, weighing 2,492,552 pounds, and
valued at $*298,000. Cargo by Messrs.
Knoop, Hanemaun & Co.
Messrs. Richardson & Barnard also cleared
for Liverpool the American bark National
Eagle, with 3,406 bales upland cotton,
weighing 1,336,870 pounds, valued at $139,-
967 32, and 100 tons phosphate rock, valued
at $700. Total valuation of cargo $140,66< 32.

PUBLIC SCHOOL EDUCATION.
No. III.—Public Schools the Cheap*
est Form of Education.
Cheapness is not usually a characteristic
of things valn&ble, nor is a thing to be com
mended simply for cheapness. Cheap schools
are not necessarily good ones, bat if schools
are excellent In character and quality then
the smallness of their cost is an Important
consideration. This is what I claim for pub
lic schools. It costs less money to give the
same instruction, whether little or much, to
the children of a community, through pub
lic free schools, than by the plan of private
pay schools. I pass by the fa$t that
under the former arrangement a
multitude are educated who would
otherwise grow up in ignorance, for, though
the community gets all this benefit, the op
ponents of public schools care nothing for
this result. But appealing to selfish views
alone, I wish to show them that in private
schools they pay more than twice as much
for instruction, in no respect superior, as in
public schools. Putting this statement in
another form, the comcaunity, with only
private schools, pays from two to three
times as much for education as it would
pay, in the shape of taxes, for the best public
schools. No matter what be the school cur
riculum—whether elementary aud gram
mar studies, or the advanced branches
of the high school—the tax upon
the pocket of the private school patron
is, for the corresponding class of studies,
per capita, more than double the cost to the
public treasury of public school instruction.
What real difference does it make to the
community whether this school expense
comes out of individual pockets or out of
the city treasury ? It is the payment of
money for work done, and the community
is the loser just in proportion as it pays an
extra amount over and above the real value
of the work.
Now, after so much assertion, let us offer
a few statistics in proof. Take our own city
aud county. The number of pupils attend
ing the whole year, in the public schools of
Savannah and Chatham couDty, for the year
1876-1877, was 2,896. The enrollment was
of course much larger, but the average at
tendance for the year is the true number,
for it shows how many get the benefit of the
year’s instruction. Tne total cost of the
schools for that year, in the city and couu-
ty, including every expense, was $42,181.
Now, the division of this sum by 2,896 is
$14 56, the cost of education per capita for
the whole school year of ten months. This
is less than $1 50 monthly cost for every
child. Is there any private school in Sa
vannah, of the humblest sort, with the sim
plest instruction and the least intelligent
teacher, that charges a smaller fee than
this? Remember, too, that this is the
average cost of all the grades of
instruction, including the high schools,
in which are taught not only rhetoric and
English literature, the natural sciences and
mathematics through geometry, but Latin,
Greek, French ami German. Is not this
marvelously cheap V
Suppose, now, it were proposed to abolish
the public schools, and remand the com
munity back to private school instruction,
nearly all the blacks and half the whites
would drop out of school, from inability to
pa}' tuition fees, and scarcely a third of the
pupils now iu -school would receive any
book instruction whatever. Take fifteen
hundred pupils—a very large estimate—as
the number then going to school, the
monthly tuition fee would vary between
the extremes $1 and $10, and as much the
larger number would be at the lower rates,
I will fix the average fee at $4 per mouth.
This gives $40 per year, and for 1,500 pupils
would make the aunual cost to the pockets
of our citizens $60,000, half as much again
as the cost of our present school system
with its three thousand attending pupils. I
do not ask now which is better for the
prosperity aud character of the city, to
educate all its children or only half of them;
hut which is more economical, to pay
$42,000 for the education of 3,000 scholars,
or $00,000 for the education of 1,500 V
Under such a state of facts, why is there
any objection to the public school system?
Why is it not universally appreciated—if
for no other reason, as a money saving ex
pedient in education? It is not. that the in
struction is inferior, in extent or value, for
comparison will show that the public school
course of studies is equally full with that of
the best private schools, and that the
teachers are either former private school
teachers, or those regularly trained and ex
amined. These points I will expand in my
next article, aud so pass them here. Why,
then, to repeat my question, is there any op
position? It must he that social exclusive
ness is there ignored. The high and the
low, the rich and the poor, meet in the pub
lic schools on the same democratic level—
each child taking the stand and
winning the honors that talents and indus
try bring him. This contact in school of
the coarse and the refined, stating it at its
strongest, is what squeamish parents fear.
This objection is, in my opinion, the very
glory of the public schools, that it brings
the extremes together, not by depressing
the high, but by lifting up the low, and it
ought to rejoice the hearts of gentle and re
fined parents, that society enables them, by
associations in her public schools at the
susceptible period of youth, to do good to
the ignorant, the poor and the rude. Why
should polite and refined children fear
school association with the low and the
rough? Have domestic training and influ
ence so little power that they cannot
be trusted out of sight of home ? Have the
purity, reflnement and grace of the upper
classes no power to protect themselves
against the rude manners and coarse habits
of children who have had no gentle culture?
If not their home training Is but a thin pro
tection, and they will be soon overcome in
the coarse battle of life. But I have seen
this fancied danger, and I believe there is
none of it. Go into one of the public
school*, no matter of what grade, even into
the Girls’ High School, Where, if anywhere,
the damage would be done, aud see
the mutual effect of social intermingling.
Girls of all ranks in society drawn
together by mutual regard, by respect for
each other’s ability, anil honest enough to
rate each other at her own merits, mental
and moral, and not by social status alone;
the refined girl lqoklng with interest and
often with admiration on her lowlier sister,
and the latter giving her a lesson in the es
timate of character that she will never for
get; walking or studying together hand in
hand, and being constantly surprised that
they had so misunderstood each other.
What mu6t be the result of this school-life
intercourse ? Evidently the lifting up of
the poor to a higher plane of conduct, senti
ment, feeling and thought, sympathy and
mutual respect grow up that go far tq break
up social bigotry, prejudice and" pride of
class, to repress alike envy and presumption
aud to elevate the aspirations of the hum
ble, and all this by sweetening and soften
ing the tone of the higher class.
In my next I will discuss the relative
value of public aud private school educa
tion. Citizen.
Savannah, November 24, 187S.
Runaways and a Collision.
Yesterday morning, while the driver of
Mr. James Ray’s soda water wagon was in a
Drayton street salooq, near Bay, delivering
a lot of soda, a loose horse dashed by,
frightening Mr. Ray’s horses and causing
the team to run away. They ran into Bay
street, and turning east collided with Mr.
J. H. Ruwe’s horse, which was standing,
hitched to a wagon, in front of the bakery.
The collision proved disastrous to the runa
way wagon, and hurt Mr. Ruwe’s horse
severely.
Some excitement was created on South
Broad street, a little past noon on Sunday,
by a horse running away with the fore
wheels of a buggy and leaving a gentleman,
his child and a negro boy badly entangled
in the remnants of the buggy on the cross
ing of Habersham street. The runaway
was caused by the buggy breaking down ou
the crossing. The fugitive horse was chased
by yelping dogs and shouted at by urchins,
but was stopped in the vicinity of Drayton
street and brought back. None of the oc
cupants of the buggy were hurt.
Steamer Centenulal Hun luto.
Last Thursday eight, as the steamer Cen
tennial was coming out of the Satilla river
^t Floyd Shoals, she was run into by the
schooner Ogeechee, of Charleston. She
suffered no damage, but the schooner’s
sails were torn and some of her upper works
knocked off. When the collision occurred,
the mate of the Ogeechee jumped aboard
of the Centennial, and from this originated
the report that a man had been knocked
overboard and drowned. The night was
very dark and the collision, therefore, is not
attributed to any carelessness on the part of
the schooner.
Police Court.
In the Police Court yesterday morning,
Geo. Gordon, colored, was fined five dollars,
or given fifteen days imprisonment, for hav
ing assaulted Louisa Reddy, colored, in her
house on Little Jones street.
Susan King, a colored woman, who had
been guilty of disorderly conduct, was
charged three dollars or ten days imprison
ment. The same penalty was imposed upon
a white man who had been drunk and disor
derly.
All these offenders being impecunious, no
cash was added to the city’s exchequer.

At the Park Theatre, Brooklyn, a short
time since, they played “Pique,” aud in one
of the drawing room scenes Miss Daven
port insisted that the effect should be
heightened by a shaded aud lighted student
lamp being placed on the centre-table. The
manager, however, substituted a lighte i
candle in the place of the kerosene soaked
wick, and the effect was so good that none of
the audience or even the actors discovered
it. Edeson, the stage manager and low
comedian, is a practical joker, and being in
the secret of the light effect, found an op
portunity to indulge his taleut iu this
direction. While the play was going on,
Saturday evening, he aud the leading
lady of the theatre, Miss Rosa Rand,
well and favorably known iu Baltimore,
were standing in one of the eutr^nces,
waiting for the cues that would summon
them before the audience. “Goodness,”
said the lady, “just see how that lamp
smokes. I wonder you have kerosene
on the stage. There will be an accident,
surely.” “lam afraid there will be,” re
plied Edeson, with carefully simulated
alarm ; “ but what can we do ? It will not
do to alarm the audience, and I can’t get
there to turn the flame down, for I don’t
‘go on’ until after you do.” “I’ll do It
myself,” said the leading lady, bravely, as
she stepped on the stage in response to her
cue. In the intervals of her speeches on
the scene, she made several nervous dashes
at the lamp and frantically turned the wick
screw, but without effect. This continued
throughout the scene, to the astouishmeut
of the others ou the stage, and when the
curtain descended she was frantically but
furtively wrestling with the wiek in mortal
terror, until the wicked comedian coolly
displayed the flaming candle to her aston
ished gaze, and put an end to the fun.
Thereupon there was a tableau behind the
curtain.

Temperance and tUe Bell Punch.
Savannah, November 25.—NdUorMorning
News: I notice in this evening’s Recorder
an article signed “U. F. T.,” which I think
display s a great deal of ignorance as to the
effect of the Mallet bell punch. The liquor
dpaleio are willing to pay their just share of
taxes, and the records will show now that
they pay almost one hundred per cent, more
taxes thau any other class of business. Their
great objection to the punch is that
it will drive the most of them out
of the business, as it will prevent
their carrying it on in a legitimate or
honest manner. Where the saloons are
closed by the effect of the bell punch, nu
merous little groggeries will be started in
an underhand way, and neither license or
taxes of any kind will be paid, drunkenness
will iucrease as the prohibition becomes
greater, and all manner of tricks will be
tried to evade an unjust law, as has beeu
demonstrated in other places.
Another feature of the bill is that it does
away with the collection of licenses for the
sale of liquor by the city authorities. What
effect this will have on the finances of the
city the authorities thernselvei must
find out, but as it will take from
twenty to forty thousand dollars revenue
from them, they will be compelled to place
it on some other species of property in order
to meet their contract with the bondholders,
who have accepted the compromise based
upon these very taxes or licenses.
Property holders will also lose their
tenants, who will be compelled to give up
business, leaving a large number of stores
vacant.
The liquor traffic is a necessary evil and
should be properly licensed, and I believe
every man who deals in it feels that way,
but no class should be singled out for dis
crimination.
There are other evils equally as great for
U. F. T. to animadvert upon. If he is a
property holder, has he always rented his
property for only legitimate purposes V A
man who sets himself up to criticise others
should be temperate in all things.
O. A. P.
An Amusing Accident.
The neighborhood of the Market dock
yesterday afternoon was enlivened by a
rather singular accident. A man driving a
dray, in which there was an empty hogs
head, endeavored to force his mule to cross
a stream of water running down the hill
from Barnard street. Finally the mule
jumped across the water, throwing the
hogshead out on the paved hill
side, and down it rolled with
a rumbling noise toward the river.
Its course was directly towards a horse
attached to a wagon, haltered to a
post on River street, with his head up hill.
That animal became terribly frightened and
struggled frantically to get loose, but in
vain. YY’hen the hogshead was within a few
feet of him, he made a desperate effort to
jump over it, but owing to the halter, suc
ceeded in getting only his fore feet and
most of his body over. His knees came to
the ground and his hind legs were elevated
in the air; and in that position, stretched
across the cask, he kicked violently for
some minutes, when the cask broke and
he was released from his ridiculous pre
dicament, trembling with fright

A WOMAN’S LOGIC.
“It is useless to take medicine. I shall
feel better to-morrow. Besides, I need the
money to get that lovely new hat. My old
one is such a fright, and people will look
more at my bonnet than they do at my face.
I will wait till I feel worse before I spend
any money for medicine.” The new bonnet
is purchased and fifty other feminine neces
saries in the form of ribbons, laces, brooches,
etc. Meanwhile the lady’s face becomes
every day paler and thinner, and her body
weaker, until disease Las gained so firm a
foothold in her system, that the most
thorough, and ofttimes a long and tedi
ous, course of treatment is necessary to
restore her to health. Ladies, attend to your
health before you even think of apparel. A
fresh, blooming face in a plain bonnet is
much handsomer and far more attractive to
your gentlemen friends than a pain-worn,dis
eased face in the most elaborate and elegant
hat your milliner could devise. Dr. Pierce’s

The enterprising dry goods merchant, Mr.
David Weisbein, knows how to cater to the
taste of the fair sex,and understands also how
to suit the time3. If the general condition
of affairs demands a reduction in prices, he
makes it and makes it quickly. The poet
says that winter lingers in the lap of spring,
but thus far this season it seems as if spring
or summer had lingered in the lap of winter,
and hence trade has not been as good as it
would have been had the weather been
more seasonable. Mr. YY’eisbein sees it and
has resolved not to carry over a large stock,
but to close them out at such reductions as
will induce the public to buy freely. As a
natural result,his sales have greatly increased
within the pj.^t week and his immense stock
is gradually disappearing. We have here
tofore alluded to the enterprise and energy
of Mr. David Weisbein and the leading posi
tion he has attained within a comparatively
