A Duel to be Fougbt Near Savannah.
Two well known gentlemen of South
Carolina left their respective homes yester
day to settle with shotguns a difficulty
which originated from a conversation re
garding the efficacy of Kieffer’s Peruvian
Cure. One being a druggist, and claiming
hi- preparation to be superior, and the other
having been saved from impending death
by the use of the Peruvian Cure, a quarrel
arose, which resulted In a challenge being
sent and accepted. Kieffer’s Peruvian Cure
never fails to cure chill and fever, and can
be procured of any druggist or country
dealer at 25c. a bottle. nov7-tf

There is no use concealing the fact, no

made Clothing beats them all. We know

to material, make, fit and price. Do not
entertain the idea that because Mitchell’s
Clothing is gotten up with so much care, in
tact, as well as any merchant tailor can
make them, that his prices are high. To
the contrary, we find that he sells his Cloth
ing cheaper than slop made goods are sold
elsewhere.

The final disposition of the $300,000, the
sum for which the Atlantic and Gulf Rail
road was sold on the 4:h of November, has
been the subject of general speculation,
although & statement of the claims upon
that amount was given in the Mous
ing News’ report of the sale. It
now appears, however, that there is an
other claimant for the money, and if
the claim is allowed, nearly the entire
amount will be absorbed. This claim is on the
part of the United States, and is explained
in a petition that was yesterday presented
to the United States Circuit Court, and by
Judge Woods allowed to be filed, the inter
vention being referred to Colonel Rnfus E.
Lester, Special Master in Chancery, for his
consideration and report.
The petition is filed by 8. A. Darnell, As
sistant United States Attorney, as inter-
venor, and we synopslze the important fea
tures thereof. The petition claims as fol
lows :
That under the decree of the United
States Circuit Court the Atlantic and Gulf
Railroad was sold at public outcry to the
highest bidder, and that there is now in the
hands of the receiver $300,000 arising from
said sale not yet distributed.
That the Atlantic and Golf Railroad was
and is indebted to the United States in the
sum of $224,992 for taxes arising under the
Internal revenue law of the United States,
being ten per centum of $2,249,920 of the
notes of the said road used for circulation
and paid out by the Atlantic and Gulf Com
pany for the years 1874, 1875 and 1876.
That due and formal demand has been
made for the said taxes by the proper offi
cer,and that payment was refused.
That the same claim for taxes was and is
a lien upon all the property of the railroad,
and Is now a lien of the highest dignity
upon the funds in the hands of the receiver,
and the claim Is entitled to priority of pay
ment out of said fund.
That therefore the intervenor asks to be
allowed to intervene in said suit in behalf of
the United States, and be made a party
thereto for the purpose of setting up and
establishing this claim for taxes, and that
the court will decree the lien oi the United
8tates for these taxes, one of the highest
dignity and entitled to priority of payment
out of the said fund in the hands of the re
ceivers arising from this sale, or in the hands
of the receivers arising from any other
source, and direct that the said taxes be paid
to the United States before any distribution
of the fund Is had, and that the rights of
the intervenor in the premises be protected.
The report of the Special Master in Chan
cery on this matter will be looked forward
to with interest.

Tlie New Steamer for the Florida
Ijlne.
The steamer Florida, now being built by
the Ocean Steamship Company for the in
land route between this city and Florida, it
is expected will arrive here about the mid
dle of next month. The hull is of wood,
and, with the other ship carpenter’s work,
was completed some weeks since, but
owing to the low state of the water (it was
built twenty miles from Pittsburg) did not
arrive in that city until the 14th. One of
the officers of the Ocean Steamship
Company, who went on some weeks
since to purchase the outfit for the boat—
bedding, upholstering, furniture, etc.—
says the steamer will be the finest vessel ever
brought South. Her main saloon extends
the full length of the deck, and Is unob
structed from one end to the other, the
machinery being all below, and her boilers
out on the guards. To get here she will
have to come between three thousand to
three thousand five hundred miles, river
and ocean navigation, via the Ohio and
Mississippi rivers, the Gulf of Mexico and
the Atlantic Ocean.and will pass by the States
of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, In
diana, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri,
Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi,Louisiana,
Alabama, Florida and Georgia. This is cer
tainly a long trip.
Tlie Telephone Exchange.
The Telephone Exchange now has nearly
one hundred subscribers, and the list will
probably be greatly increased. The new
Bell telephones, with the Blake transmitter
attachment, which have been recently put
up, are much superior to the Edison instru
ments and give complete satisfaction. The
instrument is a small square box with a
mouthpiece and vibrating disc, similar to
the mouthpiece of an ordinary tele
phone. It is attached to one of Bell’s
telephones, and by its use a listener
at a telephone in any portion of the
city can hear distinctly anything that is
said within five feet of the transmitter.
The results achieved with this instrument
are truly wonderful, and throw the ordinary
telephones completely In the shade. By its
use every difficulty in hearing speeches in
a large hall far away, or of hearing conver
sations in an ordinary tone of voice, is re
moved. The great mistake new beginners
make is that they place the mouth too close
to the mouthpiece and speak in loo loud a
tone. Use only the ordinary tone of voice,
and do not approach the transmitter, or
little box with the mouthpiece, nearer than
a foot at least.
The Theatre—Last of the Florences.
Another large and fashionable audience
welcomed the repetition of the ‘‘Mighty
Dollar” at the Theatre last night by the
Florence Combination. We have noticed at
length this piece and its admirable presen
tation by these talented artists and their
company, hence nothing mors need be said
than that the audience of last night was
equally as delighted as on the preceding
evening.
This evening the Florences bid Savannah
farewell for tne season, on which occasion
will be presented Tom Taylor’s celebrated
play entitled ‘‘Ticket of Leave Man.” Mr.
Florence as ‘‘Bob Brierly” Is considered
unsurpassed, and this performance will
give Savannah play goers an opportunity of
seeing the great comedian in an entirely
different character. If you have not yet
secured your seats delay no longer.
A New Exporting Trade l'or Savan
nah.
A London paper states that a company of
capitalists has been formed in England for
the purpose of encouraging the raising of
goats in that country. In view of the In
creasing facilities of transportation between
Savannah and Liverpool, we would call the
attention of the parties interested to the
inducements offered here for procuring an
excellent breed of these animals. The Sa
vannah goat is easily taken care of; in fact,
he can take care, of himself, as his diet is
very simple. He will eat either short or
long fodder, scraps of paper, old envelopes,
including the postage stamps, while a fresh
newspaper is his favorite morning meal.
In brief, we can recommend the goats raised
In this city as superior in many important
points to those of other climates.

A Statement that Won’t Stand-
Savannah’s Pilotage Pees Not as
Large.
The Charleston Newt and Courier continues
the publication of interviews with its promi
nent commercial men in regard to the lost
cotton trade of that city. We extract from
its account the following opinions:
Mr. Thaddeus Street considers that vari-
ious reasons can be assigned for the falling
off in the receipts of cotton at Charleston
this season.
First. The heavy failures caused much
disquiet and distrust in the country.
Second. The scarcity of freight room in
the early part of the season kept away a
very large quantity of cotton which would
have undoubtedly come here if freight
facilities had existed. The scarcity of
vessels was caused by the brokers not
chartering ahead as formerly on account
of the losses sustained in other seasons,
but particularly last fall, also by the
large number of vessels being char
tered for grain. Vessels seeking cotton
freights in the fall and winter months call at
Tybee for orders, which gives Savannah an
advantage over Charleston, as they will not
change without some inducement is offered.
Sail room was very low at Savannah during
the month of October on account of the
abundant supply of steamers. My experi
ence Is that ship-owners give a preference to
Savannah on account of cheaper port
charges. For instance, much objection is
made to our charge of insurance at the
press, amounting now to about 8>£ cents per
bale. Our presses charge 70 cents per bale,
while at Savannah the charge Is only 6C
cents and at New Orleans 50 cents.
Mr. J. L. Roxburgh was opposed to the
system of rebates in vogue at this port. He
said that so far as the cotton buyers were
concerned they were perfectly willing to
have them abolished. All they wanted was
that all should be on the same footing. He
did not think, however, that the abolition of
rebates would reduce freights, because there
was not enough water on Charleston bar to
float the 6ized vessels which offered the best
and cheapest freight facilities. Charleston
certainly has many advantages over Savan
nah. If the wharfage is five cents a bale
higher, the tonnage and pilotage here is
considerably less. I think, however, that
the wharfage here might be reduced.
Mr. Henry Card, the President of the
Commercial Wharf and Cotton Press Com
pany, said one great cause of the decline in
cotton receipts here this year was the want
of shipping facilities at this port this year.
There seemed to be In the minds of
owners a prejudice against sending
their ships to Charleston, because
there were certain charges here that
were higher than at other port6, bat
he thought the principal reason was that
vessels were in the habit of going to Tybee
for orders, as they imagined it was a more
convenient stopping place than Charleston,
and once they stopped at Tybee of course
the Savannah men would not let them go to
any other port if they could help it. While
some of our charges are higher than at com
petitive ports, there are many which are
less. Ships that stop at Tybee are told of
all our high charges, but tbe low charges
are of course not mentioned by the Savan
nah men.
The Commercial wharf this year was
charging eight cents a bale wharfage with
two cents rebate to the man who brought
the business. This made a net charge of
six cents against five cents in Savannah,
while our towage, stevedoring and pilotage
was much less than at Savannah. The
charge of the cotton presses for compressing
is seventy cents a bale for foreign and" fifty-
eight cents a bale for coastwise freights, with
a rebate of ten cents to the man who brings
the business. The charge for compressing
in Savannah was sixty cents without the
rebate, which made the charge here and
there just the same so far as the planter was
concerned. He thought if net charges were
made and no rebates allowed Charleston
would be better off.
Arthur Barnwell, Esq., said that so far a6
the rates of compressing cotton were con
cerned the difference was little, if any,
between here and Savannah. The fact that
the Central Railroad charged twenty-five
cents a bale for the cotton brought over Its
road, proved very little. These presses were
as much the property of the railroad as its
locomotives were, and if they charged noth
ing for compressing and made up the differ
ence in freight chargee, it was merely taking
the money out of one pocket to put it into
another, and the planter was not in any way
benefited. The other cotton presses in Sa
vannah charged sixty cents a bale, and the
charges of the presses here were seventy
cents, wiili a rebate of ten cents, which
brought it down to about the same thing.
The buyer gets this rebate.
Charleston, he thought, would have re
ceived more cotton this year if there had
been greater shipping facilities. The reason
for this lack of shipping facility was be
cause the brokers lost so much money last
year that they were timid this ye^r, and, on
the other hand, Savannah was crowded
with steamers in the early portion of the
season which took off nearly all the early
cotton, a portion of which would have
come here if the same facility for shipping
had existed. Freights were higher, he
thought, because there was not water
enough here to admit the larger draft ves
sels which offered the lowest rates.
* * * Why the stevedoring should
be bad here I don’t know. Il is not as goojJ
this year as last. In justice to the steve
dores it should be said that they lay the
blame on the cotton presses. I don’t think
the rates of whaifage here have much effect
upon our cotton receipts. It Is too small an
item. The shipper pays the wharfage, and
therefore it can hardly affect the rates of
freight.
Mr. Savage D. Trenholm said: I under
stand that in Savannah the ship pays the
charge of compressing, while here the ship
per pays it and gets ten cents a bale
rebate from the press. I understand also
that in Savannah the ship insures the cot
ton, and here the shipper pays the insurance
and gets a rebate on the insurance.
I think it a iqistake to suppose that our
rates of wharfage affect our receipts of cot
ton. Last year the wharfage was 8 cents
gross and 25 per cent, rebate, which went
to the shipper. This year the wharfingers
started at 10 cents with two cents rebate,
but owing to the withdrawal of one of the
combination they reduced the rates to 8
cents with two cents rebate, which is now
the prevailing rate. The charges for wharf
age here are one cent, a bale higher than in
Savannah, but in Savannah their rates of
towage, pilotage and stevedoring are much
higher than here. I have always been In
favor of abolishing the system of rebates
and of chargine the net for everything. I
think it would be better for Charleston,.but
there is one thing certain, and that is that
the wharves could not live on lower rates
than they now get after paying the rebate.
▲ mistake. •
The gentlemen above quoted have cer
tainly made a great mistake in the assertion
that the rates of pilotage in Charleston were
lower than In Savannah, as the contrary can
be proven as follows:
The rate of pilotage for Savannah Is :
For 15 feet, $73; for 16 feet, $82; for 17 feet,
$93; for 20 feet, $125; while for Charleston
it is: for lp feet, $130; for 16 feet, $160; for
17 feet, $180; while for 20 feet it is not put
down, as ships drawing that much can’t get
into Charleston, but at the ratio it would
be $240 !
Opr Water Supply—Proposed Arte
sian Wells.
A few days since we mentioned that Mr.
L. Spangler, who has been putting down
an artesian well in Charleston, would be In
Savannah shortly to confer with our au
thorities in regard to introducing artesian
wells here. On Monday evening an Infor
mal meetmg of the members of Council
was held, at which Mr. Spangler was
present, and gave some interesting infor
mation In regard to the matter. He
stated that the cost of an artesian well
1,000 feet deep would amount to $10,000,
and deeper in proportion. At the same
time he would not guarantee that
he would strike suitable water at
that depth. He had contracted to
furnish Charleston with an artesian
well for $19,000, under the impres
sion that he could procure a good and plen
tiful supply of water at the depth of 1,900
feet. Instead, however, he had to bore 2,500
feet before he secured the water he desired,
thereby losing $6,000 on his contract. Un
der these circumstances he could not guar
antee to get water at a specified depth, and
the cost of the artesian wells was a matter
of doubt.
The statements and propositions of Mr.
8pangler were referred to the Commissiop-
ers of Water Works and the Water Works
Committee.
A Substantial Culvert.
Major Jno. R. Hamlet, the efficient Chalre
man of the Street and Lane Committee, is
now haviDg constructed, under resolution
of Council, a substantial culvert at Mue-
grove creek, on the Louisville road. The
old culvert, smaller and inferior In com
parison with the present structure, which
is approaching completion, was built in
December, 1854, by Major Hamlet and C, C.
Casey,E«q., but was seriously damaged by
the freshet In 1871, and the repairs were
not sufficient to render it se
cure, consequently Council determined
upon the construction of a new one. This
culvert, which will be twenty feet In the
ejear and twenty-one feet long, will contain
fifty thousand bricks, and will be finished
in the best style. The capping w|ll be of
granite or bluestone, and the work when
completed will be creditable and substan
tial. The brick work will be completed by
Saturday night.
$600 REWARD.
They cure all diseases of the stomach,
bowels, blood, liver, nerves, kidneys and
urinary organs, and $500 will be paid for a
case they will not cure or help, or for any
thing impure or Injurious found In them—

What I Saw In Looking; for tlie
Falling Stars, wltlcli I Did Not See.
Editor Morning Newt: Being called oat on
the night of the 13th, and being promised a
sight of the November meteors, I looked in
tently up into the starry vault above with no
other thought but the gratification of such a
spectacle. And as I looked I was startled
by a sight which brought with it a long train
of remembrances and reflections. It was one
hour after midnight, and directly overhead
was that beautiful duster of seven stars,
known as the Pleiades, in the sh julder of
the constellation Taurus (“the Bull”). [Your
readers may see this cluster after 10 o’clock,
almost overhead, for the next two weeks].
Last night, the 17th of November, pre
cisely at the hour of 12, the Pleiades
crossed the meridian at the zenith, making
the most accurate and most continuously
accurate time known to man. The PleiadeB
culminated precisely at twelve midnight all
over the world. Perhaps it is not known to
many of your readers that men measured
the year and marked the seasons of the cal
endar by the evening, midnight, and morn
ing culmination of the Pleiades ages before
the sun was used for the same purpose.
Nay, more, this Pleiades year was
far more accurate than the solar
year and more easily seen, observed and
marked of all men. And last night
was the new year of that calendar. On the
17th November the Pleiades rise at sunset,
cross the meridian at midnight and set at
sunrise,marking the evening and the morning
as the First Day (see Genesis, chap, i., v. 5).
This is the explanation of the celebrated
lines In Virgil:
‘Candidas auratis a pent cum comibus annum,
Taurus.”
[“Taurus, brilliant with his golden horns, opens
the year.”]
Then, too, it is obvious that when
men measured time by a celestial
or siderial occurrence beginning at sun
set and ending with sunrise, they
naturally measured the day by the
language of Genesis quoted above, and this
explains the Jewish eustom of beginning
the Sabbath at evening, carrying us back to
the very Dlrth of time; and explains, too,
the name applied to that eveniog of the
year when the Pleiades is just visible above
the horizon as Halloween or Hallowed even
ing, October 30th.
For one-half the year the Pleiades are
above the horizen at night, and for the other
half the vear are below. From April 17th to
October 30th they are not seen, but on Oc
tober 30th, 31st and November 1st they re
appear. These, therefore, are the days of
the festivals of the Isia, Egypt; of the
Durga, India; of the Anthesteria, Athens; of
the Feralia andLemuria, Rome; of Alo-Alo,
Society Islands; of Corrobaree, Australia; of
Halloween, All Souls and All Saints of the
Church.
These festivals In all parts of the world,
and in all ages of the world, were always
celebrated with mourning and lamentations,
succeeded by rejoicings. In our day the
survival of them is seen in Halloween,
when ghosts wander abroad, acccording to
popular Irish, Welsh and Scotch tradition,
October 30th; succeeded by the festival of
First Fruits and of the Dead, All Souls,
October 31st; succeeded by the festival of
the worship and deification of ancestors,
All Saints, November 1st.
The story of lo is well known. She was
a priestess of a teinple of Hera, near My
cenae, and was transformed to a cow, and
driven forth to wander over the world by
the jealous and angry Hera. She wandered
for six months, and arrived in Egypt ou the
17th Athyr (November), the New Year of
the Egyptian calendar, and was ever after
worshipped as Isis, and espoused by Osiris,
“ the Bull ”—Lord of Tombs and of the
Dead. Henceforward Osiris remained In
Egypt with Isis for six months succeeding
17th Athyr, but on April 17th or 2l6t
he returned to hell, and Isis mourned
his loss until he reappeared and re
turned to her 17th Athyr (November).
This is the date of the famous festival
of the Isia, which began with the
mournings and lamentations of Isis for
“Osiris Lost," followed bv the rejoicings of
l6is for “Osiris Found." It does not need a
deep thinker to see in this festival the New
Year of the “Pleiades Above" the horizon
succeeding the “Pleiades Jklow." In India
the Durga festival, three days of mourning
and rejoicing, was celebrated on the 17ch
Cartigey (November), the Hindoo name
for the Pleiades. Every reader is familiar
with tbe story of the Greek Goddess whose
daughter Proserpine was in “autumn wed”
to the God of Hell, who carried her away
to hell for six months and then each year
restored her to earth for six months.
Hence, the dedication of a temple In Sici
ly to Ceres, Proserpine and the Pleiades is
readily explained.
In the South Seas at the present day the
Society Islanders divide the year Into two
seasons by the Matarii or Pleiades, as
Matarii i nia or Pleiades above and Matarii i
raro or Pleiades below.
Astronomers mark and measure time accu
rately by the passage or transit of stars
across the meridian. Any measurement by
observations at sunrise and sunset are sub
ject to error. The Pleiades year was an
accurate and movable year, moving forward
14 days in 1,000 years. Our Julian year
must move forward one day in four
years, and then correct one day
in 128 years. Every one knows that
the solar year consists of 365.242 days.
We all know, too, that Julius Caesar
made the year to consist of 365 days, adding
one day every four years, and changing the
calendar also, so as to bring the vernal equi
nox to March 25th. But very few, however,
realize that our years are too long by 11
minutes and 14 seconds, and therefore move
forward a day too fast every 128 years. At
the Council of Nice, 325 A. D., the vernal
equinox had advanced to the 21st of
March, and in the time of Gregory
XIII., 1560 A. D., to the 11th of March;
hence Pope Gregory directed ten days
to be suppressed from the calendar, and
as the error of the Julian intercalation was
found to be 3 days in 400 years, he estab
lished the Gregorian rule of intercalation,
“That every year of which the number is
divisible by four without a remainder is a
leap year, excepting the century years,which
are only leap years when divisible by four
after omitting the two ciphers.”
Now, all this irregularity of the Julian
or 8olar year is avoided in the Pleiades or
8Iderial year, which marks time accurately
at midnight of November 17th.
A curious association of the Deluge with
the festivals of the Pleiades year has been
noted by writers upon the Festivals of Car
tigey in India, Festivals of Isis in Egypt,
the Anthesteria of Athens, the Feralia of
Rome, the Festival of Ancestors in Mexico
and Peru (at the New Year of Pleiades 17th
November). And now if you will have food
for reflection, Mr. Editor, open your Bible
and read that the Deluge commenced on the
17th of the second month of the Jewish
year (i. e. November); the ark rested on
Mount Ararat ou the 17th day of the seventh
month (i. e. April), and the dove returned
with the olive branch on the 17th day of the
eleventh month (i. e. August.)
Now the following are the seasons of the
Pleiades year:
Heliopolis,Egypt, latitude 30 deg. north—
Culmination at midnight November 17.
Culmination at sunset February 17.
Disappearance in evening April 1-7.
Culmination at sunrise August 17.
In other words, the Mosaic record of the
Deluge makes the important events of that
catastrophe fall upon the date exactly of
these Pleiades seasons. Is that a coinci
dence or the accommodation of a tradition
to the dates of an old-time calendar perpe
tually marked in the heavens’
