The “Sacred” Concert Last Night.
The Theatre opened and lighted up
ou Sunday night was a novel spectacle in
Savannah, an/1 a glance into the building
last evening established the. fact that the in
novation upon old cherished customs of the
South was apparently very gracefully ac
cepted. The “Grand Sacred Concert,” an
nounced to be given by the Adah Richmond
Opera Troupe, had proven an attractive
card, the parquette being crowded,
and the greater portion of the
dress circle occupied by an audience mainly
composed of the-sterner sex. Financially,
judging from the attendance, the con
cert was a success, and the enthu
siastic applause which resounded at
different times during the evening and
could be distinctly heard on the
street, seemed to indicate that the audience
was well pleased. The “sacred” character
of the concert may be perceived by the fol
lowing copy of the programme, which we
present herewith for the edification of our
readers:

The Kiclimond Troupe.
I Two very charming entertainments were
given at the Theatre Saturday by the Adah
Richmond English Opera Troupe, both
of which were well attended. At the
|matinee the “Chimes of Normandy,” one
I of the most delightful operas we have ever
heard on the stage, was given with splendid
effect, and the large audience, mainly com
posed of ladies and children, were en
thusiastic in their demonstrations of plea-
>ure. A synopsis of the plot of the opera
I has been given and this familiar to our
readers, hence it is needless to say more on
that subject. We can in all fairness, how-
lever, pronounce the entire performance as
excellent.
In the evening tlie popular opera of the
“Gran'd Duchess” was given, with Miss
Richmond as the Duchess. The presenta
tion was good, though possibly not as effec
tive as its production by the Oates troupe,
the version being somewhat different. Miss
Richmond was in fine voice, and
sustained the character well, and
the “General Boom” of Mr. Hamilton.
“Fritz” of Mr. Morgan, and “Priuce Paul
of Miss Winston, were exceedingly good.
The performance gave Intense satisfaction,
as attested by tlie plaudits of the audience.
The company is a good one, and our Au
gusta friends, who will have the pleasure of
seeing them to-night, will be more than de
lighted.

pleased interest.]
When Noah from out the ark advanced.
The Lord came by, and, as it chanced.
Smelt Noah's offering, fair and fat;
Then said the Lord, well pleased at that.
•‘Speak up and say. you good old boy.
What can I do to give you joy r"
Then answered Noah, ‘‘For forty days
Nothing but water's met my gaze;
I do not like it since I've found
It tastes of beasts and mankind drowned.
I’d take it kindly if you'd think
Of something better for my drink. "
Then the good Lord from Paradise.
With sound instruction and advice,
A grape-vine brought to Noah elate,
And told him this to cultivate.
The Lord explained the whole proceeding,
And Noah was glad with joy exceeding.
He went to work with rapture wild.
And summoned servants, wife and child;
He planted vineyards, vast, immense.
And showed himself a man of sense
In building cellars, making wine
And filling casks with liquors .flue.
He was a pious man. and frank;
Cask after cask he tapoed and drank.
“To God's high glory” was the toast.
That troubled least and pleased him most:
And still he drank, the deluge o'er.
Three hundred years, and fifty more.
A wise man gathers from all this
That Jove of wine is not amiss,
And that good Christians won't combine
With water, to abuse their wine;
Since twas in water all around,
That sinful beast-s and men were drown'd.

Lant Day - Fine Races and a Good
# Attendance.
The spring meeting of the Savannah
Jockey Club closed Saturday very success
fully, there being a fine attendance and
splendid races. The result of the first race
was a surprise to many, as, after the
first heat, the expectation was that Mary
Walton would prove the victor,but as shown
the race was awarded Ben Hill, from foul
riding on the part of Mary’s jockey. The
second race developed excellent time, and
was a fine race, as was also the third race.
The programme for the day was as follows:
FIRST RACE.
Lamar Stake: forthreeyear olds; mile heats
entrance $50, p. p.; $350 added: second
horse to receive $150 from stakes; third
horse to save stake.
L Messrs. Seifried <& Cnee entered b. f.
Mary Walton, by John Morgan, dam Effle
Cheatham, weight 87 pounds. Colors, blue
and white.
2. A. Atchison entered ch. g. Ben Hill, by
Bonnie Scotland, dam Melrose, weight 8T
pounds. Colors, blue and black.
3. James Davis entered ch. f. Alpha, by
Fat Malloy, dam Molla James, weight 87
pounds. Colors, purple and purple.
Vkn* Heat.—A tine start was effected, the
horses starting at the tap of the drum
Ben Hill and Mary Walton running to
gether most of the mile. Alpha laboring be
hind. As the turn of the three-quarter
stretch was reached there was a general
movement forward, Mary coming in the
lead and Ben encouraged, but to no pur
pose, the bay mare keeping the lead and
passing the string fully two lengths in
advance. Alpha second aud Ben Hill third.
Time 1:47 {.
The result of this heat was a surprise to
many, as Ben had been the favorite in the
pools the previous night and before the
heat. A change followed; Mary Walton
sold for $15, Ben Hill $6, Alpha $4. A
number of pools were sold at about this
rate.
Second Heat.—A fair start was made, Ben
Hill taking the lead, Alpha and Mary Wal
ton together: after rounding the turn the
nags were thrown into a string, Mary Wal
ton falling far behind, and the
opinion was expressed on all side?
that* it would be impossible for
the bay mare to recover ground. The
horses came rattling down the home stretch,
Ben Hill two lengths ahead of Alpha, Mary
Walton behind. Just before the grand
stand was reached Mary Waiton, evidently
spurred by her rider, spurted forward and
“cut in,” taking the second place, lapping
Ben Ilill and clearing the string together so
close that the spectators were in doubt as
to whether Ben Hill or Mary was the victor,
or whether it was a dead heat, not perceiving
that a possible foul had been made. The
race closed amidst considerable excitement,
and the decision was anxiously awaited.
The judges remained in consultation for
6otne minutes, and finally the owners
of the horses were called to the track, when
Colonel Owens announced that the heat and
race was won by Ben Hill, owing to direct
foul riding in the presence of the judges by
the jockey of Mary Walton, who cut across
Alpha in front of the grand stand. The
time was stated to be 1:50%.
In accordance with the rules, Ben Hill, In
order to obtain the race, was compelled to
gallop over the track, which was done,
whereupon he was formally declared to
be the winner.

Tlie Now .llasouti Register.
Mr. Wellington Jones is now canvassing
among the Masonic brethren of this city
for his new Masonic Register. The work Is
intended to take the place of the diplomas
aud other evidences of membership, and is
handsomely printed from a steal engraving,
the design being original in many respects,
aud introducing the emblems of the Lodge,
Chapter and Commandery, and wi;h space
left also for certificates for the degrees of
the Scottish Rite. Mr. Jones, the owner
of the copyright, in his circular, says:
“la presenting this beautiful work of art
to the craft, I feel that I am not only con
tributing a share of the duty we owe each
other and the great family of man, by
adding something to the general stock of
knowledge; but, that I am placing within
the reach of every worthy brother a truly
valuable memento which will prove a source
of pride and pleasure to him as well as a
satisfaction to those who may succeed him
as laborers in life’s great quarries. Nor is
this all the good to be derived from its pres
ence in our libraries, by our firesides, our
counting zooms, offices or workshops; its
hieroglyphic desighs and their arrangement,
illustrative of the wisdom and moral teach
ings of the ages past, are calculated to be a
constant reminder of our duties as God’s
children, and the sublime teachings 60 beau
tifully set forth on our admittance to mem
bership in the most ancient and honorable
fraternity
The Register is well worthy of the patron
age c»f the fraternity, and is sold at a figure
whick places it within the reach pf every
one.
KENEDY FOR HARD TMIES.
Stop spending so much on fine clothes,
rich food and style. Buy good, healthy
food, cheaper and better clothiug; get more
real and substantial things of life every way,
and especially stop the foolish habit of run
ning after expensive and quack doctors or
using so much of the vile humbug medicine
that does you only harm, and makes the
proprietors rich, but put yofir trust in the
greatest of all simple, pure remedies, Hop
Bitters, that cures always at a trifling cost,
and vou will see better times and good
health. Try it once. Read of it in another

The Jockey Club — RcMlgnation of
tlie Secretary.
We are sorry to hear of the resignation
of our genial friend and popular fellow
citizen Dr. J. T. McFarland, as Secretary of
the Savannah Jockey Club, which position
he has held for so many years, and with
such satisfaction to the public and credit
to the club. Dr. McFarland has always
taken a lively interest in turf matters, and
at no little sacrifice to his per
sonal interest has given attention
to rendering the meetings of the club a
success. Possessed of rea iy discrimination,
keen judgment, indomitable energy, and a
strong will, he has been invaluable to the
club, aud it will be truly difficult to fill his
position satisfactorily. The present excel
lent condition of the track, which has en
abled us to enjoy better races this season
than ever before, is due to him,
its preparation was entirely
under his control, and the oldest turf
men with stables on the track have
complimented in the highest terms the
judgment he has displayed. His profes
sional duties, however, require that he
should resign, aud, greatly to the regret of
his associates, he has done so. Whilst de
ploring the loss of so efficient an officer of
the club, we can but be gratified, in com
mon with other friends, that Dr. McFar
land’s services as a medical practitioner are
so highly appreciated in the community.
Re«iguation of Judge Henry It.
Tompkinii.
Our readers will doubtless be surprised to
learn, and hundreds with regret, that Hon.
Henry B. Tompkins has tendered to the
Governor his resignation as Judge of the
Eastern Circuit, to take effect on the 30th
of March next. During Judge Tompkins’
occupancy of the bench he lias been noted
for his fearless and rigid enforcement of
the laws, and it was mainly through his
efforts that McIntosh county,which had long
been uuder a reign of terror, was rid of her
worst characters, and the county now is
numbered among the most orderly in the
State. Judge Tompkins has won the high
est respect of not only the legal fraternity,
but the entire constituency of the Eastern
Circuit and of many counties in which he
has presided as Judge, by his intelligent,
vigorous and able discharge of the court
butiuess. His resignation has been for
some time contemplated, although it will be
heard with surprise by the majority of our
readers. He will at once enter upon the
practice of his profession, in which we wish
him all the success and prosperity his mer
its and abilities deserve.
Death of the New Paper.
Another of the many journalistic rises
and falls which Charleston has witnessed
culminated yesterday in the suspension of
the Evening Journal. Qnly four editions
of the paper were printed, its first appear
ance having been on Monday, the 20th.
The proprietors promised that it should be
come a very interesting and newsy sheet,
but it is understood were frightened by the
smallness and decrease of the income and
♦ ho largeness of the outlay, although the
expenses could haru!;,’ been much over
one hundred dollars per week. It is sam
that on the day of its mst issue eight hun
dred copies were sold, the circUlatfon, how
ever, gradually lessening, until on Wednes
day it had become so discouragingly small as
to prompt the suspension.—Charleston News
and Courier.
Narrow Eti/ ape from Serlou* Fire.
About noon on yesterday (Sunday) the
residence of Mr. George F. Ferguson, at
Cedar Hammock, was discovered to be on
fire in the roof. The family were absent at
church at Bethcsda, but fortunately Mr. Wm.
Ferguson, who was on a brief visit to hip
brother’s family, was present, and with Mr.
L, Millett, who lives on the adjoining place,
and a faithful colored domestic, rendered
efficient assistance to Mr. John Ferguson,
who had remained at home, and the fire was
extinguished without serious damage.
The roof was only partially burned,
although the strong gale blowing at
the time gave ri6e to appreheusion9 of a
serious lire, possibly the total destruction of
the fine family residence. The roof was set
on tire by a spaik from the chimney.
A Negro Jslim.
Yesterday afternoon, about ten minutes to
six o’clock, a difficulty occurred In the yard
of a house in Cooper Shop lane between
some negroes, which resulted in the shoot
ing of John Harrison by John Jackson.
The weapon used by Jackson was a small
single barrel pistol, carrying the smallest
sued cartridge, The ball struck Harrison
in the breast inflicting an ugly wound, and as
it could not be found it is thought it pene
trated the lung. Harrison was placed under
medical attention. After the shooting Jack-
son tied and has not since been seen.

IllneMM ot Father John Bertazzf.
The friends of Father John in this city
will read the following account of his seri
ous illness, clipped from the Atlanta Con
dilution of Saturday, with great regret:
‘We regret to learn, from a telegram re
ceived yesterday for Dr. H. B. Lee, of this
city, of the illness of this excellent priest of
the Catholic Church at Chattanooga, where
during the late yellow fever epidemic his
eminent services and untiring zeal in minis
tering to the sick, and in the exercise of his
sacred calling, won the admiration of all.
Father Bertazzi has been conspicuous for
his undaunted courage and zeal in the ser
vices of suffering humanity, both in the
plague hospitals of Europe as well as those
of our own country, and it was in the At
lanta Hospital, at Chattanooga, during the
recent epidemic that he formed a warm
friendship and admiration for Dr. Lee, whom
he, had summoned to his bed of sickness.
This is a deserved compliment to Dr. Lee,
whose absence in South Carolina at this
time prevents him responding to the urgent
summons. At last accounts Father Ber-
tazzi’s condition was considered very criti
cal.”
A SeriouM OfleuM>.
Yesterday evening about seven o’clock
Sergeant Killourhy arrested a man by the
name of Patrick Sullivan on the charge of
assaulting and beating Mrs. Burke, au oid
woman age?l nearly seventy-five years, In
whose house, on Roberts street, he rented
apartments. We are informed that Sullivan,
from some cause, had beaten the old lady
during the morning several times, and
injured her so severely that she could not
raise her arm. In the afternoon,
it is charged, he broke open her
truck and stole thurefrom live dol
lars. Sergeant Killourhy had con
siderable difficulty in finding the accused,
but eventually caught him hiding uuder a
6tonp and carried him to the barracks, ne
will be arraigned before the Mayor this
morning, and will probably be afterwards
turned over to a magistrate to answer the
other charges.
A Splendid Opportunity,
We would suggest to our lady readers that
they have now a splendid opportunity to
secure at most reasonable prices anything in
the millinery and fine dress goods line by call
ing at the attractive establishment of Mr.
H. C. Houston, on Congress street. He hai
marked down hi3 present handsome 6tock
to the lowest figures, anu the inducements
are such as will not fail to attract
attention. It is well known that Mr.
Houston never has anything but the
best in his line, and whatever
is purchased there will be found exactly as
repi'esented. He has a very tine assortment
of millinery articles and a lull stock of ie*y
elegant dres6 goods. Our fair friends who
need anything in this line would do well to
call at Houston's and see for themselves.
The array of beautiful articles displayed
will please the sight, whilst the reasonable
prices will make the heart rejoice. jan27-tf

A Dangerous Torpor.
Torpor or inactivity of the kidneys is seri
ously dangerous to those organs, since it is the
precedent of diseases which destroy their sub
stance and en ’anger life. This sluggishness
may overcome bv stimulating them, not oa
ceseivejy, hut moderately, an ' effect produced
by Host“tter’s Stomach Bitters, a general in-
vigorant and alterative, possessing diuretic
properties of no common order. The impetus
which this admirable medicine gives to their
evacuatlvc function counteracts- any tendency
to congestion which may exist in their tissues.
Both they and tlieir associate organ, the blad
der, are Invigorated as well a* gently stimu
lated by the Bitters, which exerts a kindred in
lluence upon the stomach, liver and bowels
al u oy bireug.uen.ng the system, enables it to
withstand malarial epidemics, to which when
exposed it might otherwise succumb,

New York by several physicians for con
sumption, the result of a cold contracted
four or five years ago, while working at my
trade (blacksmith). My cough was very
distressing, and I expectorated very pro

A Legitimate Triumph In Medicine.
Dread and despair fall upon the community
when a terrible epidemic, like the cholera or
yellow fever, suddenly desolates our homes;
yet. all the while, a more insidious, but no less
fatal foe enters thousands of households every
year and carries off the flower of the family in
the early flush of manly youth and budding
womanhood. People call it consumption or
“decline.” It is not, in most cases, the tuber
cular phthisis or consumption of the lungs,
which is the peculiar malady in climates like
those of the British Islands and New England,
but a general decay or arrest of the vital pro
cesses of nutrition. All the doctors agree vLat
iben i3 no remedy for this but Cod liver Oil,
but they are constantly met by the obstacle of
inability on the part of the patient to swallow
r retain it. This repulsion is entirely over-
c *me by Scott’s Eaiu’sion of the Oil with the
Hypopboephites of Lime and Soda, which is
agreeable to the taste, and an unequalled nu
trient and tonic for the body, nerve and brain.

Shall the Army be Increased f
General Sherman desires an army or
ganization on the plan of those of European
governments. Plenty of soldiers mean
heavy taxes, and we don’t think our people
care to increase their expenses to gratify
the military vanity of a few men. In fact
economy i8 the order of tho day, and Meyer,
at 35 Whitaker street, leads the van and
