THE SAVANNAH, FLORIDA AND
WESTERN RAIL WAV.
EMircliaMC or Steamer** on tlic Chat
tahoochee.
The Savannah, Florida and Western Rail
way Company have purchased a controlling
interest In the steamboat line running on
the Chattahoochee river from Apalachicola
to Columbus and other points, connecting
at Bainbridge. The steamers G. Gunby,
Jordan; and T. H. Moore comprise this line,
and are said to be excellent passenger and
freight boats. They will be rim hereafter
in the interest of the Savanah, Florida
and Western Railway, making close
connection with the trains of that com
pany at Bainbridge. This movement will be
of great benefit to the Railway Company,
and while, as we understand, it will not be
in antagonism to the Central Railroad Com
pany, who run two steamers on the same
river, connecting at Columbus, it will enable
the former company to better facilitate the
transportation of passengers and freight, and
put a cossation to the troubles that have
heretofore existed.
Tlie Reception.
It should not be forgotten that Santa
Claus will receive his friends at the Theatre
this afternoon, and a most charming enter
tainment will be given, consisting of a select
parlor concert and the famous comic opera
of Cox, Box and Bouncer, which was re
cently rendered with so much success. In
addition to the musical feast, each one who
attends will receive a nice present. Among
the prominent amateurs and professionals
who are to take part in the entertainment
we notice the names of the favorite vocal
ists, Mrs. Annie T. Cleveland, Mr. A. B.
Chase, Mr. Chas. H. Hoyt, Air. E. Anton
Graef and a large chorus.
In Older to afford ample time for those
who wish to be present to do full justice
to their Christmas turkey, the entertainment
will not commence until 4 o’clock. Doors
open at 3:30. Seats can be secured during
the forenoon at Bren’s, and all who would
enjoy a really line musical treat should ap
ply for tickets. Let the little ones go and
enjoy a heart}* laugh and receive their pres
ents.

CHRISTMAS BAT.
For Relieving Throat Troubles,
“Brown's Bronchial Troches” have a world
wide reputation, and as they contain noth
ing that will injure the system, they can be
used without fear of bad results.
When Christmas morning comes, they say.
The whole world knows it’s Christmas day;
The very cattle in the stalls
Kneel when the blessed midnight falls,
And all the night the heavens shine,
M ith lustre of a light divine.
Long ere the dawn the children leap
With “Merry Christmas;” in their sleep;
And dream about the Christmas tree;
Or rise, their stockings filled to see.
Swift come the hours of joy and cheer,
Of loving friend and kindred dear;
Of gifts and bounties in the air,
Sped by the “Merry Christmas!” prayer.
While through it all. so sweet ana strong,
Is he 3rd the noly angels’ song:
“Glory be to God above!
On earth be peace and helpful love!”
And on the street, or hearts within.
The Christmas carolings begin:
“Waken, Christian children.
Up and let us sing,
With glad voice the praises
Of our new-born King.
“Come, nor fear to seek Him,
Children though we be;
Once He said of children,
‘Let them come to me.’
“Haste we then to welcome, •
With a joyous lay,
Christ, the king of glory,
Born for us to-day.”
—St. Nicholas.
A Merry Christmas to All.
The great festival to which all the Chris
tian world does homage is upon us, and we
earnestly hope that the day will be prolific
of pleasure and happiness to every reader
of the Morning News, and the community
in general. Christmas has been looked for
ward to by old and young with feelings of
delight, and the anxious days that were
counted before its advent are now num
bered with the past, and the dawn of the
happy day has come. Our people can enter
Into its enjoyment with genuine zest, as
during the year we have been pecu
liarly blessed. Our public health has
been exceptionally good, our commerce has
increased, and general business has flour
ished, while the future holds out much of
encouragement. It Is therefore meet and
proper that this day, the anniversary of the
birth of our Saviour, should be hailed with
thankfulness and pleasure. Indeed, joy is
the peculiar and pervading theme In a very
marked degree of all the old Christmas
carols, and it is the attribute of all the em
blems and symbols with which the season is
marked, to distinguish it from every other.
Even when It descends to revelry, the joy
ous suggestion is never lost, nor does it dis
appear even in the ecstatic and ascetic ser
vices of the most exigent devotees. The
almost universal recognition of the Christ
mas festival, and of its Influences, is the
best possible assurauce that its cele
bration is not in vain. Either all the
Christian world ls wrong, or the Christ
mas festivities are well and rightly
kept. But no one who sees how children
enjoy themselves at this time of the year;
and what beneficent influences the season
exerts upon them, can think that there is
anything to be deprecated in Christmas
presents, Christmas decorations or Christ
mas banquets. There is no hing which ex
pands and enlightens the young heart to the
duties and the pleasures of charity so much
as the reciprocal giving and receiving which
the children first learn about ac this season.
What a lesson to them, likewise, to dis
cover in their filled stockings on Cnristmas
morn that there is some power without
which thinks of and provides for them; that
their friends and relatives have not forgot
ten them; that busy hands have been at
work for weeks merely to afford them new
surprises aud gratifications. The lesson of
Christmas, like its joys, is a sufficient guar
anty of the season’s propriety, and of the
genuineness of the wholesome gift6 which
it bestows so lavishly upon all.
But let the day be enjoyed rationally and
as a law-abiding, order-loving community
should observe it. We trust that the pleas
ures of the festival will not be marred by
accidents, catastrophe or crime, and that on
the morrow, individually and as a people,
we may remember it with gratitude and
satisfaction for the happiness it brought.
We therefore again bid our readers a “mer
ry, merry Xmas.
Tickets for the matinee this afternoon are
only twenty-five cents for the children.
Seats can be secured at Bren’s without extra
charge. dec25 It

the ordinance to explain why it was neces

thought It would simplify the system.

ment was voted upon and adopted, and the
ordinance was then passed.
Ordinance to affix the term of officers of
the city elected by Council.
Alderman Weil moved that the ordinance
be laid upon the table, which was voted on
and lost.
Alderman Blun moved that the ordinance
be placed upon its passage.
Alderman Hamlet moved that the term be
made until 1881, as he thought every Coun
cil should elect its own officers.
Alderman Blun moved that it be extended
to 1891.
The Mayor requested the Aldermen to
confine themselves to the business.
Alderman Purse moved that the term be
one year.
Alderman Freeman moved that action on
the ordinance be indefinitely postponed,
which was carried.
Ordinance in reference to the clearing of
the streets, sewer traps, etc., being let out
by contract. Ordinance on Its second read
ing. Laid over.
Ordinance to prevent the firing of fire
crackers, sky rockets, etc. On second read
ing.
Alderman Weil stated that he had seen
several merchants who had laid in large sup
plies of fireworks, who complained that the
ordinance was injurious to their business.
Some discussion ensued on the matter,
when Alderman Freeman moved that
squares” be inserted after “the Park ex
tension.” Pending action in the matter,
Alderman Willink, who presented the ordi
nance, moved that it be laid on the table.
Carried.
Ordinance to assess and levy taxes and
aise revenue for the city of Savannah. On
second reading.
Alderman Purse stated that there was a
petition from sundry merchants complain
ing of the taxation upon their stocks in
trade, aHd asking a reduction of the same.
The Alderman stated that If this petition
was granted it would be absolutely necessa
ry to Increase the tax upon real estate, and
suggested that the petition be read before
action was taken on the ordinance. The
suggestion was adopted,and the Clerk read
the petition, which was signed by a large
number of merchants in all branches.
Alderman Blun movefi that the petition
be referred to the Finance Committee to re
port at the next meeting any amendment to
the tax ordinance.
Some discussion ensued of a desultory
character, Alderman Purse, speaking at
some length, and showing that it would be
impossible to‘leseen this tax, (which, when
the returns to the City Treasurer were con
sidered, was light,) without adding to the
tax on real estate.
Alderman Weil suggested that the license
tax be increased and the tax on stock in
trade be repealed. He was sure that the
merchants would be satisfied with these
changes.
Alderman Freeman did-not think that the
tax of 1^ per cent, too high. The same
tax was laid on personal property—furni
ture, etc.
Alderman Purse moved a substitute that
the further discussion of the tax ordinance
be deferred to an adjouined meeting of
Council, to be held within not less than
three days, and that the petition be referred
to the Finance Committee for report.
Adopted.

THE BLUE RIBBON.
Tlie Drew Temperance Meeting Last
Night.
The attendance at the Drew temperance
meeting at Armory Hall last night, was not
largely attended, owing to the holidays,
though it was a good meeting in other re
spects. Mr. Drew opened the meeting by
sajing that he was glad to see so many in
attendance, as it were, and that if he had
known how much he would have to contend
with, on account of the holidays, he
would have postponed his meetings until
after they were passed. He stated that
there would be no meeting to-morrow night,
but that on Friday night they would hold
their meeting at “Mozart Hall,” and there
would be no change from there. The au
dience then sang “Rock of Ages,” which
was followed by the reading of the Scrip
tures, by the Rev. Mr. Stillwell, which was
succeeded by singing “Rescue the Perish
ing.” Mr. Drew then remarked that he
was thinking during the singing of the song
(quoting lines of it) that it was a mighty
good sentiment. He had heard many sing
ing it—North, East and West—that it was a
good thing to sing and preach about, but
oetter to act according to It. He would
like to know how many acted up to it. If
only one-tenth of the people acted up to it
bow much better It would be. There are
many men in Savannah who could be saved
by acts of kindness. That there was en
tirely too much indifference to other peo
ple’s sufferings, and that each one
had a work to perform outside of
their own salvation was indisputable.
He said that we were on the eve of Christ
mas, and that the da}* should be celebrated
by prayer and thanksgiving, not- by fire
crackers, and tin horns and bad whisky. He
then stated he would open the meeting as a
“love feast,” and called on those present to
arise and address the assemblage if they
had anything to say for the cause. The
Rev. Air. Markham arose and related an
anecdote of a rich lady, who was going to
church one morning in London, and on the
way she chanced to meet a poor man on
the streets who was covered with
rags. She spoke to him kindly, and asked
him to accompany her to church. He at
first held back, saying it was no place for
one like him, covered with rags. After a
few kind words she induced him to go along,
and on entering the church placed him in
her own pew. During the sermon he felt
that the preacher was talking directly to
him, aud for his special benefit. After the
services the preacher came up to him and
shook him by the hand, and spoke kindly to
him. The poor man at once became con
verted, and afterwards developed into a
great preacher. He said many could be
saved by kindness, as this poor man was
saved.
The speaker said he was stationed
Morris, III., some few years ago,
and that on riding out one morn
ing on horseback he saw a man lying down
in the street. He got off his horse, aad on
turning the man over, saw* that he was
drunk. He knew the man, and, addressing
him by name, asked how he came there f
The man mattered a few unintelligible words
and turned over. The speaker said he saw
a man coming down the street who was the
son of a Deacon in his church, aud, calling
him, explained that this man would surely
die from cold and exposure,and that he must
be cared for. They lifted him up and carried
him to the Deacon’s house, which was near
by. The Deacon would not admit him,
saying that he was uot employed to care for
drunkards, but to preach the gospel. Now
it happened that a man came along who
was an infidel, and, hearing the Deacon,
commenced to taunt him about his religion
and how he practiced it, showing this case
as an example. On the following Sunday
the speaker took for his text the “Good Sa-
maritar,” showing how he had acted the
“good Samaritan” in the case of this man.
The incident had been much talked of iii
the village, and there was a large attend
ance. At the end of the sermon
the Deacon arose and stated that
he felt that the sermon was
preached for his special benefit, and
acknowledged his error, and that he (the
speaker) was right. The unfortunate man
whom he had rescued was also there that
morning, aud was very much interested in
the proceedings. He was also at services
that night, and in fact at all the services
after, and in two years time became a re
formed man, and now holds one of the
highest offices in the plaee. He often
thanked the speaker afterwards for his kind
words, and said that but for his services he
\yould have filled a drunkard’s graye.
Mr. Markham concluded by saying that if
the people would use kind and encouraging
words, many men could be easily reformed.
He said that he was always an advocate of
temperance, and had been a temperance
man for fifty years—in fact, since he was
ten years old—and that he always did all
he could to help temperance people and be
among them.
Rev. J. R. Carter being then called on by
Mr. Drew, arose and commenced by saying
that in his own experience he had seen the
terrible effects of intemperance; that out of
a large class with whom he graduated a few
years ago, only one other besides himself
was living. He had learned that the
others bad all died from intemperance.
He had asked a young man here to
sign the pledge and received the
reply, wait until “after Christmas.” In
New York a year or two ago, a mother bad
*)lead with fcer son to give up drinking. He
told her he would, “after Christmas.” He
continued drinking, and 011 Christmas got
into a difficulty, there was a word, a blow
and a 6hot, and he was Incarcerated in
the Tombs for killing a comrade. He was
tried and condemned, and is now serving out
a life imprisonment. This showed the dan
ger of delay. Now was the time to make a
change.
After these remarks the odes “Pull for
the Shore” and “Work for the Night is
Coming” weresung.
At this point the proceedings were greatly
disturbed by some fearful blasts upon tin
horns by a crowd of boys in the streets, but
the disturbance did not continue long.
Mr. Drew again' addressed the meeting,
stating that if the temperance people did
their part he would do his. He regretted
that there had not been more work done by
tfie temperance people. They should not
weary in well (loing.
The odes entitled “The Right Shall Pre
vail” and “Nearer My God tp Thee” were
then sung.
Mr. Drew announced that 22 new signers
to the pledge had been obtained, making a
total of 322.
The meeting was then closed with the
benediction.
Thp ne$t meeting wiil be held at Mozart
Hall on to-morrow (Friday) night. The
public are cordially invited to *
pecially all who ara
* work succeed.

I did uot think, said Mr. S., of tbe New

tion of rubber plasters was so great until I
visited the Benson’s Capcine Porous Plas
ter establishment. If the plasters prepared
there each day were laid out in a liue, the
line would reach five miles.
Why is there such an enormous demand
for this article ?
Because it has merit! It relieves pain !
If you have pain in the back or shoulder,
or iu the region of the kidneys or heart, or
almost any local ache or pain, Benson’s
Capcine Porous Plaster will surely give
you prompt and lasting relief. It has au
effect on the system which cannot be ob

besides it is neat, convenient, pleasant to
wear and inexpensive. Sold by all drug

Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup is the
only thing that mothers can rely upon for
their children. It corrects acidity of the

teething its value is incalculable. It softens
the gums, reduces iutlammation and allays

this note to congratulate you on being the
proprietor of the best Liver Medicine, Sim

have known it for a number of years, and I
pronounce it, as prepared bv you, pure and

keeping. You may prepare it and recommend
it, but you will never know the true value of it
