The Warrior* of the Lost Caote.
To-day Is Memerial day, the season when
loving women and brave men gather in
the silent city of the dead to decorate with
beautiful flowers the graves of the honored
dead of the South. In this connection the

THE HEROES OF SAVANNAH.
BY P. J. MALONE
They have passed from our midst, and we give
them the meed
InthewTeath consecrated to heroes by Time—
The remembrance of loved ones whose hearts
beat to bleed.
As grand as rehearsals in Epic sublime!
They have gone from our midst; but we think
of them yet.
And young flowers o'er them their fragrancy
yield;
Who could, with the soul of a hero, forget
The death words of Bartow, “Boys, die on the
field
“No, never give up, though your Colonel be
killed—
There are others—there's Jackson, the Stone
wall, to lead;"
And a shout rent the air. and the ranks again
filled,
Rushed onward to victory o’er dying and
dead.

Supposed IncendlariNtn.
About seven o’clock last evening, as Mr.
Edward M. Purse was coming down West
Broad street, a lady on the opposite side of
the street called his attention to a fire in the
building in the back part of Mr. J. Feelv’s
mule lot on Broughton street, running back
to the lane, between the marble yard and
the cotton warehouse. It appears that the
back building was stored with hay, which
was on fire. Mr. Purse, with the assistance
of a colored man, broke in the door from
the lane side, aud succeeded, by great efforts,
in putting out the lire before it had
made any headway. At the time the lady
called Mr. Purse she observed a little white
boy jumping over the fence, and as he was
known to the lady, it was supposed
that he had set the hay on fire. Had
not Mr. Puree and the colored man acted
60 energetically a serious conflagration
would have been the result. The boy was
afterwards recognized and arrested and car
ried to the barracks, but was subsequently
discharged by the officer in charge on ac
count of bis extreme youth.
Weekly SavannaD River Mall.
It will be seen by our special telegram
from Washington that the Post Office De
partment has ordered the establishment of
a weekly river mail service on the Savannah
river, between Savapnah and Augusta, em
bracing points on the river between these
cities. The service will go lpto operation
on the 1st of July next. We are glad of
this consummation of long desired maif
facilities on the route named, and to which
the Morning News has often called atten
tion. It will certainly be appreciated by our
mercantile community aud their corres
pondents on the river between the points
named, as 11 will till &n important gap in the
intercourse of Savannah with important
stations on the Savannah river, both on the
Carolina and Georgia side.
Car** for Laurel (irove Cemetery To-
J>ay.
It will be seen by tbe advertisement that
ample preparations have been made by the
Barnard and Anderson Street Railroad to
accommodate the thousands who will visit
Laurel Grove to-<iay to pay honor to the
dead of the “Lost Cause/' E»tra cars and
plenty of teams, with a quick schedule, will
be the order of the dav, and every effort
will be made to take all who want to ride.
The fare is only five cents, or six tickets for
twenty-five cents. Cars will leave Market
Square every five minutes.
The Sout^g Musical Journal.
The April number of the iititthrm Musical
Journal, published by Ludden Bates, Is
before us. It Is well tilled with choice read
ing matter, which has a pleasant musical
ring about it, aud is further enriched by two
beautiful songs: “The Ivy Green,” words
by ‘Boz” and music by Henry Russell:
“And Eves will Watch for Thee,” words by
J. H. Jones, music bv A. H. Bassler. And
iu the instrumental department tbe “Jolly
Brothers’ Galop.” We are glad to know that
tbe popularity of the Journal is steadily In
creasing.
Odd Fello*v*lilp.
De Kalb Lodge, No. D, will celebrate tbe
sixty-first anniversary of the foundation of
the Order, at the Lodge room, this evening,
by a social gathering which promises to be
a pleasing pvent in the history of the Order
In Savannah.
The fact is, that though the brethren are
odd by name, they are not so when ;i comes
to a pleasant reunion such as will take place
this evening, as by their announcement it
will be seen that the ladies have a promi
nent place in the picture, which cannot but
make the affair a happy success.
Tbe Skating Blnk.
The annual meeting of the Skating Rink
Association was held Saturday night and the
old board of officers unanimously re-elected
A dividend of $00 a share (par value of shares

cessful season f^r this popular association.
They will have their l^st “grand skate" df

with it close for the heated term. A fter the
skatiug there will be two hours dancing.

commodate the travel to the Cemetery to
day the Laurel 6rove Jloe and the Whitaker

out the annoyance of a change.
nAUKU BESTBOYED.
G. A. J. Gadbois, of Brook villi, Canada,
certifies that he was prostrated by a malaria*
contracted in Texas, and was quick
ly and compleosly cured by the use of War
ner's Safe Pills and Safe fitters. He adds:
“| shall never travel in that climate ty.th-
out your Safe i'll. 1 c and Bitters as a part
of my outfit.”
We think of Claud Wilson, so eloquent—brave.
When sheet lightning dealt out it* cataract
wrath.
Who hurled back its fury, and sunk to his grave
In the quiet of victory 's desolate path.
And Willis and Habersham, true as the steel
They wielded, when marshaling, serried and
staunch.
So young.yet, so brave!—could we speak what
we feel.
We would canonize Crane, and immortalize
Branch.
The young year may come and the old year
may go,
And frosts nip the flowers that over them
wave.
Still ne’er but with life shall our tears cease to
flow.
When the stars of our children guard o’er
their graves.
Ladles' Memorial Anaoelatlon.
The annual meeting of the Ladles’ Memo
rial Association was held at the lecture room
of the Independent Presbyterian Church
Saturday afternoon at six o’clock, Mrs. Jno.
Williamson, President, presiding. The old
board of officers were re-elected.
The memorial decoration to-day, and
other matters within the scope of
work of the association, were discussed.
The association, in its financial condition,
finds itself somewhat embarrassed from the
want of funds, and It was decided that the
money contributed at the gate on Decoration
day be applied to the purpose of keeping
the lot of the Confederate dead In order,
as It is necessary that it should have con
stant care, in order that it might at all
times present a good appearance.
The subscription lists of the association
grow smaller every year, aud the noble
work which has been accomplished will
fall short of their expectations if they are
not sustained in their work of love by the
assistance of those whose sympathies in the
past were enlisted in the work.
The association desires that in view of the
scarcity of flowers this season, any one
having flowers and who arc not able to at
tend the decoration in person, If they will
send them to the house of Mr. Jno. William
son, they will be properly distributed and
bestowed in beautifying the graves of the
Confederate dead.
They also desire that the children gener
ally should participate in the pleasing duty,
and bring garlands, wreaths and flowers to
lay upon the soldiere’ graves.
They particularly request that the stores
be closed during tbe afternoon, in orderthat
the clerks shall have au opportunity of as
sisting in tbe ceremonies.
The association have expended in and
about the soldiers’ lot the sum of $2,243,
aud for the work of removing tbe figures
from the Confederate monument and plac
ing in position the statue of the “Confede-
... * a lin. 7' iVvn VI1 WV F * 11*1*1
rate 6oiiier,” the sum of $1,005. We hope
that “Decoration day” this year may be
generally observed, and the memories of
the past kept sweetly green In the hearts
of those who survive the honored dead.
It was resolved that or Memorial day a
wreath should be placed on every head
stone in the soldiers* lot.
A handsomely engrossed copy of the letter
of Mr. DeRenne donating the bronze statue
of the Confederate soldier now adorning the
monument, and tbe resolutions In response
thereto, having beeu admirably executed by
Mr. F. Krautler, au artist of this city, and
bavin? been neatly framed with a view of
presenting it to Mr. DeRenne, was submitted
and highly approved.
The Secretary was instructed to convey to
Capt. Dickerson the thanks of the associa
tion for erecting tbe statue of Silence in the
soldiers’ lot andj for other improvements
generously made by him.
A resolution was adopted that the rail
road stock now held by the Association be
kept as a permanent fund, to be devoted to
the care of the soldiers' lot.
The question of raising a sufficient sutn
to put up an iron railing around the monu
ment was discussed, and it was resolved that
each member should endeavor to collect
money for the purpose, and a committee
was appointed to provide an entertainment
with a view to raising the funds necessary.
OUR LATE VISITOR.
A Spaultli War Vessel After * Cuban
Blockade Runner.
The recent visit of the Spanish ironclad
corvette Sanchez Baieaiztegui, for coal, and
her sudden departure, was a matter of some
speculation among those who notice such
movements, but the news from Philadelphia
of tbe sailing of the steamship Tropic, with
war munitions for the Cuban insurgents,
from the Capes of Delaware, on Thursday
last, explains the mystery. The Tropic has
been suspected of being engaged in running
the Spanish blockade, and on her last trip,
ostensibly from Jamaica, she was fol
lowed to her port of destination by
a Spanish war vessel, supposed to beourjate
visitor, who then came in here for cOaland
probably for further information of the
movements of the suspected vessel. The
Cuban revolution has broken out again with
increased fury, and the Junta in this coun
try are actively at work sending supplies to
their friends in tbe “Ever Faithful Isle.”
Among the cargo said to have been taken
out by the Tropic is a torpedo boat to be
used against the Spanish navy. As the
Sauchez Barcaiztegui went to sea on Satur
day she will Just be in time to catf.h up with
the Tropic somewhere to the eastward of
our port, if such a thing is possible.
A Dl*trea*lns Accident.
Thomas McDermott, a youth aged about
sixteen years, and living on Montgomery,
near Bay street, met with a very serious if
uot fat&J accident Saturday afternoon. He
went out beyond the Ganal to get flowers,
and climbed a tree to secure some, when ue
lost his hold and fell to the ground, a dis
tance of about thirty feet, mashing his nose
and bruising his face in a frightful manner,
and receiving other painful external, and, it
is feared, serious internal injuries. He was
so badly stunned that he was unable to
speak and remained for several hours in a
comatose state alter bate? carried home.
Ur Chisholm wascalledln icd on examina
tion found that no bones wefre broken. He
stated that it would be impossible to tell
the result of his iuternal injuries for several
d Tb,
e condition of the yocth was very criti
cal yesterday, having had a number of
apasms. So serious is his condition that his
parent* R l m ost despaired of Ills re
covery.

Third Supervisor's District of Geor
gia, No. 1 Bull Street, Savannah, Ga.,
April 26, 1880.—Editor Morning Xevcs: Will
you please publish the following rules for
the Information of the many applicants for
the position of Census Enumerator as well
as for the public In reference to the census
of 1880:
I wish first to invite the attention of all
parties who have made application to me
that in case of their designation to the Su
perintendent of Census as one of the
enumerators, it will be necessary for me to
send with the designation an application
made by each in a certaia specified form.
The applicant must set forth hls place of
birth and of present legal residence, with
pest office address, the principal facts of
his education and professional or business
experience, including a statement of al?
national, State, county or municipal offices
at any time held by him, and the place and
nature of his present occupation. The ap
plication must be, throughout, in the hand
writing of the person designated, and must
be so certified by him.
All parties would do well, therefore, if
they wish still to be considered candidates,
to comply with the requirements in advance.
Under an opinion of the Attorney General
of Georgia, forwarded to me by the Super
intendent of Census, Sheriffs, Clerks of Su
perior Courts, Ordinaries and constables,
and in fact all officers whose duties are pre
scribed by law, and which affect the Dub
lie, are ineligible to the office of enumera
tor/ To accept the office of enumerator
would be good cause to vacate any office
held under the State.
My first duty will he to submit plans to
tbe Superintendent of Census for the sub
division of my district into enumeration
districts. The counties will be di
vided principally by militia dis
trict lines, according to their popu
lation and size, while all cities having
a population of over ten thousand will be
divided into districts according to popula
tion, giving to each enumerator about two
thousand inhabitants. Tbe taking of the
census in the country dis'ricta must be com-
S leted within thirty days from the 1st of
une, 1880, while In cities of over ten thous
and inhabitants, within two weeks.
The principal and primary object of the
canvass by enumerators will be to obtain a
list of inhabitants, with certain particulars
as to sex, age, color, place of birth, occupa
tion, physical condition, etc. To obtain this
Information, it will be obligatory on each
enumerator to visit personally every dwel
ling house in his district, aud any person
wilfully refusing to give to an enumerator
such informatiou as it is his duty to obtain,
will be guilty of a misdemeanor, and on
conviction be punished by a fine of $500.
Any person receiving a fee or reward for
securing the appointment cf an enumerator
or clerk, shall be deemed guilty of a misde
meanor, and upon conviction be punished
br a fine not less than $500 nor more than
$3,000.
In designating the enumerators to the Su
perintendent of the Census, I shall be gov
erned soleby by tbe fitness and qualifica
tion of the applicant; and while it will
doubtless happen that I will pass over the
names of many able aud competent men, yet
it must be borne in mind that It is not in my
E ower to do otherwise, where there are, per-
aps, a half dozen applicants for the same

Forgery.
Every business man Is interested in pro
tecting himself against the possible altera
tion of his checks or drafts, especially a*
the courts have decided that when checks
60 altered are paid by the bank the loss falls
upon the drawer, and this is right; were it
not so, any one who had the desire to be
“crooked” would simply have to make a
deposit in some bank, raise his own check
and swear falsely. Raising a check simply
consists in taking a bona fide check and
raising the amount from a lowtr to a higher
denomination, and of ail the frauds and
rascality committed by a class of men com
monly called “crooks,” who roam the coun
try over seeking whom they may devour,
the raising of bank checks or drafts is the
simplest. The alterations are made in such
a manner that it Is impossible to detect,
even under a gla s s. Recognizing the de
mand for a safeguard against such opera
tions, C. A. Randall *k Co., of New York,
have successfully introduced the “Bankers
and Depositors' Check Protector,” a neat
little mechanical device, which combines
atllity with beanty, durability and cheap
ness. Parties wishing to examine “Protec
tor,” address C. A. Randall Co., Savan

An Incident with a .Yloral.
More than forty-five years ago there was
a barroom In tbe northwest corner of the
Market square in the city of savannah.
Behind the counter stood a young clerk,
whose business it was to deal out fire
brands, arrows and death to those who
p«me. He did not theu think about the
moral character of hi# business, though bis
heart was aching with a sense of sin and by
no means in sympathy with his surround
ings. He would not now engage in such
business for a world. One day a young man,
tall, erect and of commanding appear
ance, walked in minus boots, hat, coat and
vest, with a maniac’s stare on his counte
nance. A few loungers present, 6uch as
are always found in such a place, began to
amuse themselves at his expense. Mean
time tbq facts of his history were brought
out. He was the son of a highly respect
able man and minister of the Gospel, a
young physician, had married a y oung lady
equally as well related as himself : that ha
came to the city well mounted on a fihe horse,
saddle and bridle, well dressed, with $250
In his pocket. All this—money, horse, sad
dle and bridle, hat, boots, coat and vest—
was gone. He seemed insensible to the
insults of his tormentors, until one of them
decided that he was too mean to live and he
would kill him,and to carry forward his cruel
joke, took a gun, left in the bar to be rallied
for, drew off the green baize cover, aud
commenced preparations to aim. The poor
victim locked at all this at first unmeaning
ly, then with a gleam of intelligence, fol
lowed by the look of a demon, anu rushed
upon him with the fury of au enraged tiger,
saying in stentorian tones, that he
was '“Not afraid of heaven or fcelL
of G-xY nor l bc devil, ahd’ it should
never he said that tbe son of—(calling his
father’s name), was afraid o! a
gun.” There was no fun in this. The gun
was put away, he was pacified with a drink
of brandy, and in a short time was lying on
a cellar door, just across the street, in a
pitiable, shameful, disgusting plight. Some
time afterwards, not very long, he died at a
county 6ite not one hundred mile a from
Savannah and was buried among strangers.
The former bartender is now an honored
clergyman of tbe Baptist denomination, and
is at present in the city as a delegate to tbe
Baptist State Convention.

1 write to state that last spring I gave my
back a severe wrench, which caused me
great pain, from which I could get no relief
until I was Induced to try Benson’s Capcine
Porous Plaster, which brought rest and
cured me. My little bov had a considerable
bronchial affection. I cut one of the Ben
son’s Plasters in two parts, and applied one
of them above hls breast bone, the other
between hls shoulder blades, and noticed
that on the following day hls cough had en
tirely subsided. I have used the old style
of Porous Plasters, and am convinced that
Benson’s Capcine Porous Plaster is far su
perior. Mrs. W. H. Allen,
