The Fire Alarm.
In the account of the fire on Sunday
night it was stated that the confusion in the
striking of the alarm bell was caused by a
derangement in the wires. This, we under
stand, was not the case, as the fire alarm
was and is in splendid order, but the con
fusion was occasioned by the policeman
who discovered the fire “turning in” the
alarm from Box 34 and another policeman
“turning in” .one from Box 31, and then
the former repeating the alarm. A little
more care will prevent such occurrences. In
this connection we would mention that Mr.
B. F. Dillon, the chief operator of the
Western Union Telegraph Company, is
acting superintendent of the fire alarm.
Races at Thunderbolt Park Course.
Lovers of this exciting sport will be glad
to note that our enterprising and indomita

with the Coast Line Railroad, is determined
to enliven Thanksgiving day (to-morrow)
with a trotting and running race at Thun
derbolt. We are reliably informed that ar
rangements have already been perfected in
suring the certainty of the race, and that
the names of all horses entered will ».ppear
in to-morrow's issue. We can predict an
enjoyable occasion to all who may attend,
particularly as we learn some new horses
will be on the track.
Excursion to Charleston.
As will be seen by notice elsewhere, visi
tors to the inter-State shooting match at
Charleston, on the 28th instant (Thanks
giving day), can purchase round trip tickets
at the depot for three dollars, good to re
turn until November 30. Trains will leave
at 3:15 and 10:45 p. m. On the latter train
a Pullman sleeping car for Charleston will
be attached. In addition to the teams en
tered quite a large number will go over.

A Trip Lost by the Fog.
The fine steamer St. John’s started on her
regular trip to Charleston Monday’ night,
but, after proceeding down the river some
distance and finding the weather so foggy,
she returned to her wharf, and hence lost
that trip. She was visited during the day
by a number of citizens, and last evening
left for Florida.

Mi«« Charlotte Thompson as Miss
OT niton.
The Theatre should have been crowded
from pit to dome last evening to witness
Miss Charlotte Thompson’s really grand im
personation of Miss Multon. Without
doubt this would have been the case but for
the exceedingly unpleasant weather. As It
was, however, neither rain nor the inclement
evening served to prevent a fair and very
critical and select audience from attending.
The play of Miss Multon, to be fully
appreciated, needs to be seen. It is exceed
ingly emotional, and full of the most strik
ing effects. It represents an ardent, earnest
woman who, frenzied by jealousy at imagin
ing that because of her husband’s devotion
to his legal studies, he is indifferent to
her, in a moment of maduess, is induced
to abandon home and children. A re
port of her death, apparently well con
firmed, induces the husband, out of regard
for the welfare of his helpless children, to
marry again. After enduring for a long
period the bitterness of remorse and the
deepest agony at separation from her
children, she finally, to be near them,
consents to accept the position of
governess in her former home. While in
this position she, though with breaking
heart, earnestly strives to conceal her true
relationship; but her mother’s yearning love
will constantly assert its power, and, after
many outbursts of the fondest affection, she
can finally restrain herself no longer, but to
the husband and his second wife she, again
maddened by the strain upon her, reveals
herself to be what she is—his supposed
dead wife who had deserted him, and the
mother of his children.
After this confession of her secret—which
she still keeps from her children lest they,
finding out her abandonment of them, will
lose the reverence for her with which they
had been carefully inspired — she again
leaves them, determined to see them no
more. But the shock has been too great for
her to endure, and she leaves them only to
die. Here is where the climax of the play
is reached. Dying, the old irresistible
yearning to see them once again comes over
her, and they are written for. Then upon
their arrival, in a most affecting scene be
tween husband, children and herself, she
receives forgiveness for her past offense,
aud in her last moment she tells the children
she is their mother, and with one maternal
kiss she dies.
From this most imperfect synopsis of the
play, it may readily be seen how truly af
fecting it may be rendered when in the
hands of an artist of such ability as that
possessed by Miss Thompson. From first to
last the interest of ihe audience was
thoroughly absorbed, aud they paid willing
tribute to the geuius of the lady by calling
her before the curtain at the end of the
second, third and fourth acts, while in the
last many present were moved to active
sympathy with the character she presented,
aud testified the same bj’ indulging freely
in tears.
The play in many respects is very similar
to that of East Lynne, no doubt familiar to
many of our people, and those who failed
to witness it last night missed a genuine
dramatic treat. Miss Thompson is indeed a
true artist. She does not rant nor strain
after effect, but her acting is so natu
ral, so easy, that one entirely
forgets, while looking at her, that
he is not witnessing a scene of real life.
This afternoon she appears in Jane Eyre,
aud to-night, for the last time in our city
this season, as Julia in the Hunchback. \Ye
sincerely trust her talents may receive such
recognition from a Savannah public as they
justly demand.
We cannot close this notice without a
word in commendation of her support. It
was really excellent, and probably the most
pleasing character in the play was that of
the little boy Paul de La Tour by Master
Dixie. We mention him particularly be
cause, though so young, he already gives
token of geuius and future success. As we
have stated, however, all the parts were
good and well rendered. Altogether, a
more completely enjoyable entertainment
has rarely ever been presented on our boards.

Cbarle*ton Within Talking Dis
tance—The Edison Telephone.
Through the invitation of the courteous
manager of the Western Union Telegraph
Company, Mr. Henry Griffith, we had the
pleasure yesterday of inspecting the new Edi
son improved telephone just put up in the
office. Through this telephone, which can be
attached to any of the wires, conversation is
had with the Cotton Exchange and other
points in the city and also with the tele
graph office in Charleston. After holding a
brief aud pleasant conversation with Super
intendent Bryan at the Cotton Ex
change, we were kindly placed by
Mr. Griffith in communication with
Mr. J. D. Easterlin, telegraph operator in
the Western Union office at Charleston,
and conversed with him in an ordinary tone
regarding the weather in Charleston, the
prospects of the inter-State rifle contest,
and other matters. Although the telephone
is located in the operating room of the
Western Union, yet above the noise of the
incessant clicking of the various instruments
we could distinctly hear every word uttered
by the gentleman in Charleston.
A previous conversation had been carried
on, with pleasant results, between the two
points. One of the gentlemen at the Sa
vannah end of the line sang a verse of
“Nearer My Gou to Thee,” which was re
plied to by the Charleston operator singing
a line or two of “I Need Thee Every Hour.”
Savannah then sent a stave of “Old
Black. Joe,” and the pleasant con
versation was continued for some miuutes,
demonstrating the perfect success of this
communication by means of Edison’s im
proved telephone over one hundred and
twenty-five miles of wine.
We are informed that the instrument
in Charleston is located in a room below the
operating room, and hence, being more
quiet, conversation can be heard with great
er distinctness at that end of the line than
at this point.
Culpable Recklessnes*.
Considerable excitement was occasionnd
on West Broad street yesterday noon by
the reprehensible recklessness of a negro,
which nearly resulted in injury to several
children. Our informant 8tates that a
negro in the employ of Mr. O’Connor,
drayman, being in a hurry to get to his
diuner, sought to save time by slipping the
bridle from, the horse he was driving, a
spirited animal, before reaching the stable.
The horse was no sooner freed from
restraint than he dashed furiously up West
Broad street, colliding with other drays, and
causing great commotion on the crowded
street. At the corner of Jones, into which
6treet he turned, a number of children were
playing on the crossing, and it was a miracle
to the spectators that none of them were
knocked down, seriously injured, or killed.
The greatest indignation was aroused against
the driver for his carelessness in thus inten
tionally losing control of his team.
A Disabled Vessel at Sea.
Captain H. K. Hallett, of the steamship
Seminole, which arrived from Boston yester
day morning, reports that on Saturday,
about eleven o’clock a. m., in latitude
37.42 north, longitude 74.35 west,
he «aw a three masted schooner be
tween the Virginia and Delaware Capes with
main and mizzen mast® gone, mainmast
Ivin" fore and aft the deck bent, with the
Arhang-mt: over theslde. The schooner
was runniDg by the wind heading to the
eastward, under close reefed toresail and
jib, and rolling fearfully. No signals of
distress were displayed, though the beminole
passed within a mile. He could not make
but the name, ae the wind was blowing a
heavy gale at the time, rendering it impos
sible to see her to advantage. She was ap
parently loaded with ballast, and seemed
|o be doing well when the steamer last saw
bit.
THE LITTLE BELL OTL'ST NOT
TINKLE.
Opposition to the OToflett Bell-
Punch Law.
In accordance with a call, a large and en
thusiastic meetiug of those opposed to the
passage of the Moffett bell-punch law now
before the Legislature was held last even
ing at St. Andrew’s Hall. The meeting,
which comprised not only dealers, but a
large number of other citizens, was or
ganized by calling Capt. Henry Blun to the
chair and requesting Mr. M. M. Belissario
to act as Secretary.
J TA resolution was offered by Mr. Elsinger
that a committee of seven be appointed to
draft certain resolutions to be presented to
this meeting for adoption.
The following gentlemen were then ap
pointed by the Chair: S. Elsinger, Gen.
Geo. P. Harrison, Capt. John Schwarz, Jas.
J. McMahon, William Cantwell, P. Moriarty,
M. T. Quinan.
During the absence of the committee the
meeting was addressed at length by Mr.
Charles O. Lamotte. Afterwards several
gentlemen, in response to enthusiastic calls,
made brief speeches, all in decided opposi
tion to the proposed law.
The committee returned and submitted
the following, which on motion -was unani
mously adopted :
Whereas, A bill is now before the Legis
lature known as the Moffett bell-punch bill,
which we believe is unjust, and subversive
of the rights of the freemen of Georgia,
and of rights guaranteed to us by the Con
stitution, in imposing on one class of citi
zens burdens of taxation which is not borne
bv others, thereby creating class legisla
tion.
Resolved, That while we as citizens are
willing to bear our just share of the taxes
imposed upon us by the law-making power,
we must protest against the passage of
what we consider an unjust, unwise and op
pressive law. We therefore appeal to the
justice and magnanimity of the Legislature
of Georgia, and ask the rejection of the bill.
Resolved, That the prosperity of the city of
Savannah would be greatly retarded in
the necessary derangements that would
grow out of the passage of this bill
and the amount of money now paid into her
treasury by thejiquor dealers will have to
be assessed on other species of property,
thereby placing in jeopardy a settlement
already arranged with the bondholders of
the city.
Resolved, That the Secretary of this meet
ing be requested to send a copy of these
resolutions to the Senator from this district
and the members from this county.
Resolved, That we appreciate the large at
tendance of citizens and express our ac
knowledgments of the same.
No other business was offered and on
motion the meeting adjourned.

that presented difficulties that appeared in
surmountable, but with the characteristic

the credit of any section they may represent.

CaugUt With Stolen Property.
Officer Foliiard yesterday arrested on Bay
street Richard Phinizee, a small negro boy,
who had in his possession a stolen box of
cigars. He stated that the cigars had been
given him to take care of by John Jackson,
another colored gamin, but as Richard bears
a bad character,lus statement was not be
lieved, and he was committed to jail by Mag
istrate Elsinger.
The Physiology of the Liver.
The liver is the largest secreting organ in the
human body, and the bile which it secretes is
more liable to vitiation and misdirection from
its proper channels than any other of the
animal fluids. Luckily for the bilious, how
ever, there is an unfailing source of relief from
liver complaint, namely, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, a medicine w hich for over a quarter
of a century has been achieving thorough
cures of the above mentioned ailments, fever
and ague, dyspepsia, bowel complaints, rheu
matic and kidney affections, and disorders in
volving loss of nervous vigor. It is. moreover,
a preventive of malarial disease, and affords
protection to thousands of persons residing in
districts of country where that dire scourge is
prevalent. As a remedy adapted to the medi
cinal requirement of families, it is supremely
desirable, and as a means of fortifying a debili
tated system, it is thoroughly to be depended
upon. nov25-M, W,F&w It

PUBLIC SCHOOL EDUCATION.
COURT CALENDAR.
No. IV.—Public School Instruction
Generally Superior.
In claiming, as I did in my last article,
that public schools are cheaper to a com
munity, so much cheaper that the cost be
comes an important factor in the
question of their existence, I had
no intention to admit that the charac
ter of the instruction is in any sense
cheap or inferior. On the contrary, I claim
the very opposite. I believe that the in
struction given in the public schools is, in
some respects, superior, aud iu all respects
equal to that of private schools. Their ad
vantages are based on the following facts:
First. They have as a rule more intelli
gent and better qualified teachers in the
elementary schools at least. Of course 1
wish to make no invidious comparisons be
tween our home teachers, for I am not
thinking of them at all, but have in view
only general facts. An acquaintance with
these, as they exist under the public school
system, leads me to this conclusion. Take,
in the very beginning, the examination that
public school teachers must undergo before
they are allowed to teach—even those of the
lowest grade must be examined in spelling,
reading, writing, geography, grammar
and arithmetic, and they must satis
fy the examining board that they are
competent to instruct in all these
branches. After this ordeal they are al
lowed to teach, and the community has
therefore the best guarantee of their com
petence. What private elementary teacher
gives such a guarantee ? Any person, com
petent or incompetent, may set up a school
for young children, and parents have no
accurate means of testing the fact, or
they may be so careless as to think it a
matter of little moment. The same
rule does not hold so rigidly in the
higher schools, perhaps, which parents are
more careful in selecting, because of the
large tuition fee, or where the scholars
themselves know enough to detect incom
petency. Iu cases where the teachers are
known to be graduates or to have been well
educated, it is equivalent to an examina
tion, but it is scarcely possible for the com
munity to be so assured of the teacher’s
qualifications as under the safeguard of the
public school system.
Second. The schools are graded—that is,
the pupils of the same advancement, and
generally of the same age, are taught to
gether in one set of studies and by one
teacher. This incidentally saves teachers,
and utilizes their work by enabling them to
teach very much larger classes, with less
labor and in less time. But this is not the
great nor the expected advantage of grading,
it is the self-evident fact that forty
or fifty children, all doing the same
thing at the same time—whether studying
or reciting or receiving oral instruction-
will be more easily and effectually taught,
aud the subjects of instruction be made
more interesting to them, while they all
eagerly watch the teacher, and the mistakes
of one be corrected by the vigilance of
another. In this way good habits of quiet
and self-control grow up, while inattention,
disorder and playfulness are reduced to a
minimum. In a private school there are
sure to be several grades of pupils, on
account of difference of age, which
require separate classification—say
thirty or forty pupils there will be
six or eight classes whose recitations must
be heard in the time that a public school
teacher givos to oue class. The result is
that unless the teacher is expeditious aud
expert, some recitations must be neglected
or slurred over, and all of them hastily made.
This constant driving is unfavorable to good
discipline—the want of which is a great
drawback—because the classes, rapidly suc
ceeding each other, aud only a few pupils
reciting at once, the others find the tempta
tion and facility to disorder too great to be
rtsisted. While it is only the best private
teachers that can control this trouble, those
that fail to do so are not really censurable,
for it is the necessary result of their bur
densome task.
Third. Out of this graded system arise the
necessity for and at the same time the advan
tage of large classes. To the teacher with tact
enough to command attention, it is as easy
to instruct fifty children as it is five—perhaps
easier. The whole fifty of the same age
aud progress are in oue class. Their very
number check the tendency to idleness ami
inattention. All repeat the words, and all
criticise each other. The eager rivalry is a
stimulus to learn. Then there is the great
advantage of every child getting the whole
instruction of the teacher, for all that the
teacher says or does is intended for all, and
none have excuse for neglecting it. The
quick and large advance of the whole class
is a matter of surprise to those who have
seen only the individual teaching of elemen
tary private schools.
Fourth. In private schools there is no
compulsory curriculum of studies, and the
goodness of the programme depends on the
taste of the teacher. Under the public
school system the programme is wisely
graduated for each year of school life, and
the child’s position in any grade implies the
haying learned the previous studies. Such
a curriculum is largely to be preferred to
the differing plans of private schools, where
studies are often pursued out of their
natural order, and abstract subjects (take
arithmetic, for instance), are often
dropped because they are difficult to
teach, or because parents and teach
ers persuade each other that they
are unnecessary. Thus, in many cases,
children grow up with a one-sided educa
tion, lacking, most usually, mathematical
knowledge, the want of which vitiates their
whole education.
Fifth. The crowning advantage of the
public schools is that every teacher’s daily
work undergoes the inspection of the prin
cipal of that grade, and is rectified by his
suggestions and corrections, while the Su
perintendent once a week revises the whole,
and by his authority confirms or censures
the work of the week. In private schools,
this is all lost and the instruction of the
teacher, if it is poor, remains poor, without
a chance of correction.
For these reasons public school teaching,
especially in the elementary grades, far out
weighs in value that of corresponding grades
in private schools, and its cheapness of cost
combined with its excellence should lead to
its establishment everywhere. It may be
doubted whether a community, amply*pro
vided with excellent private instruction for
all its children, and all availing themselves
of it—which is almost an impossibility to
find—shall change its system; but nothing,
it seems to me, but judicial blindness can
warrant a community, after enjoying the
advantages of public schools, in abolishing
them on account of expense, or in deliber
ately starving them out. I do not believe
that Savannah is going to do either.

THE POPULAR BEVERAGE!
-THE-
W E have accepted the agency of the above Beer, manufactured by GAFF & CO., Aurora.
Indiana, expressly for the Southern climate. It is undeniable tnat the Aurora Beer will
retain its freshness after being tapped longer than any other beer sold in the Southern market
This Beer has been pronounced by connoisseurs to be the best that has ever been offered in
this country. The Beer is delivered at Savannah from refrigerating cars owned by, and ex
pressed direct from the Aurora Brewery, on the banks of the Ohio river.
As convincing evidence of the accuracy of these assertions, we have only to append the follow
ing statements from reliable merchants of several Southern cities who have had c<
experience in the handling of the celebrated Aurora Beer:
considerable
I have been handling the Aurora Beer for four years, and consider it second to none in
America. j. j. HENSOB, Nashville, Tenn.

. F. DOLL, Vicksburg, Miss.
Messrs. Gaff & Co.’s Aurora Beer is the finest aud best quality I ever met with in this market.
I have used beer from almost every hrewery of any note in the United States, and have no hesi
tancy in saying the Aurora Beer gives the best satisfaction of any.
ALPII. WALTZ, New Orleans.
We have handled the Aurora Beer since 1873. and ndw we can use no other beer in thi« market.
VTe have had shipments from Milwaukee, St. Louis and Cincinnati since, but no go. They all
prefer Aurora Beer, as it seems to stand phipping better than any other, and Gaff <£ Co.’s
refrigerator cars have been a success in keeping the Beer as good when arriving as when it left
the Brewery. We have about four Kundred Germans, all of whom pronounce the Aurora to be
the best Beer ever in the market. J. M. VETTER <& CO., Chattanooga, Tenn.
Macon, Ga., September 2, 1878.
Messrs. Wm. Hone ft Co.. Savannah. Ott.; Dear Sirs—I have sold four thousand kegs of the
Aurora Beer within the last five months, and it has given universal satisfaction. It is given up
by all who try it to be the best beer ever in this market, and better adapted to this climate, from
the fact that it holds its gas longer after being tapped than any other.
Respectfully, L. W. RASDAL.
We commend our eighth casks, or “pomes,” whmh are admirably suited for family use. We
have made arrangements to fill orders for this Beer promptly, and will ship to any points, and
are prepared to deliver to patrons in the city. A large stock will be received daily, and all
attention will be £iven with due promptness to large and small orders.
