An Excellent Health Exhibit.
The mortuary report for the past week, as
furnished by Dr. J. T. McFarland, Health
Officer, which will be found elsewhere, la a
gratifying and remarkable exhibit of the
good health of this city, especially at this
season of the year. Of the twenty-one
deaths reported, there is not one from fever
cf any kind, and only two are of whites,
one from apoplexy and one from paralysis
of the heart.
We do not believe there is another city in
the country of the same population that can
return an equal showing for this period of
the year, confessedly, ln the South, at least,
the most sickly. Although there are quite
a number of cases of broken bone fever,
yet they are of brief duration, lasting
scarcely over four days, and from all other
diseases usual at this season, the city is pe
culiarly free. We would direct the especia
attention of our fiiends abroad to this mor
tuary report.
Death of An Old Citizen.
Mr. Andrew Stiefvater, an old and well
known citizen, died yesterday morning, in
his seventy-third year. The deceased was
a native of Alsace, Germany, but had been
a resident of Savannah for nearly forty
years, carrying on his business, that of a
tailor. He was a reserved and modest gen
tleman, and had many friends, and was
highly esteemed by all who knew him. The
remains were Interred yesterday afternoou
in Laurel Grove Cemetery, and were fol
lowed to the grave by the German Friendly
Society and the Savannah Turnverein, of
which organizations he was a member, and
of the last named one of the founders. He
left no immediate family, his wife aud
children having died years ago.
A Biter.
Yesterday morning, about half-past eight
o’clock, Policeman Clanccy discovered a
colored man slumbering on the steps at the
Market, and aroused him. The fellow was
very Indignant, and became disorderly.
When the officer arrested him he resisted
violently, and bit the officer on the arin aud
hand, but was eventually subjugated aud
carried to the barracks, where he gave the
name of Charles Scbythe. His case will be
looked Into it to-day.
Creating a Disturbance.
A white woman, who was under the in
fluence of liquor, created considerable dis
turbance in a house at the corner of Whita
ker and York streetlane yesterday afternoon,
to the annoyance of the neighborhood, and
was arrested and carried to the barracks by
Policeman Farr.
Annault With a Knife.
About ten o’clock last night Ed Stevens,
colored, got Into a difficulty with E l Ed
wards, also colored, and made a savage
attack upon him with a knife, cutting him
slightly. He was arrested by Policeman
Malone.
We are pleased to see that the well known
firm of George V. llecker *fc Co. are offering
a Baking Powder, which we are sure will
be welcomed by their numerous customers
and the public. Although there are mauy
other Baking Powders ln the market, yet
the want of a pure and perfectly reliable
article has been long felt. We predict that
Uecker’s Baking Powder will soon be as
extensively used as their celebrated Farina
and Self-Raising Flour. sep27-lt

boy, and with difficulty carried him to the
barracks, where he was a-slgnedtoan apart
ment on the ground floor, and turned in to
sober up.
He was a great bore, and was talking to a
crowd about the coming local election. Said
he: “Jones Is a good man; he is capable,
honest, fearless and conscientious. He will
make the very kind of an officer we need
here in Savannah. He once saved my life
from drowning.” “Do you really want to
see Jones elected ?” said a solemn faced old
man. “I do, indeed. I'd do anything to
see bira elected.” “Then, never let any
body know he saved your life.” The meet
ing then adjourned.
OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Elegant Novellle* for the Fall Season
Savannah has one store which is devoted
exclusively to ladles’ fancy goods and mil
linery. Although the^.proprietor Is of the
male persuasion, tber«-M8 a striking sense of
feminluity about the establishment, and a
display of ties, bows, r bbons, hats, bonnets
and other articles to Improve the looks aud
figures of the gentler sex, that causes a
feeling of awe to come over the masculine
who euters Its portals. L'ke all mun
dane things, these goods are always
changing in style, and he who caters
to the lovely buyers must be always
well posted in the new styles. Mr. II. C.
Houston, the proprietor of this well known
establishment, 141 Congress street, has just
returned from a trip North, and was Satur
day busily eneaged in opening his new
goods, of which he always keeps a splendid
stock. Mr. H. is to Savannah what Worth
is to Paris, and what he says is “the style”
is accepted among the ladies as a truism.
It is scarcely necessary for us to say that
their attention is invited to the new goods,
and that Mr. II. and bla lady clerks will be
pleased to see them. The ladies know that
this is so.
An Incident ol Boaton’a Two Hun
dred xnd Fiftieth Anniversary.
The Boston OlUe, in describing the recent
celebration in that city, says :
“Messrs. Potter & Wrightington, 197 At
lantic avenue, presented a most unique ex
hibition. A large caravan wagon i rawn by
six haLdsome grays bore a device cc ntahaing
six men engaging in the various processes
of cutting and putting up fish. It excited a
great deal of Interest, as there could be no
better exposition of the Important industry
in w hich the firm has gained such pre-emi
neuce. The workmen were ‘busy as bees,’
and it was almost like watching a sleight of-
hand performance to observe their work.
“This firm also displayed a shield ln gold
carved lette-g, stating at the recent Interna
tional Fishery Exhibit at Berlin their Lion
and Unicorn brands of canned mackerel,
lobsters, herriDg and codfish received the
highest award and silver medal over all other
Boston competitors.”
As this prominent lixston firm is so well
known in Savannah, the above will be read
with luterest.

Tlielr Condition and Prospects—
Synopala of the Fifteenth Annual
Report of the Superintendent.
To-day week the public schools of our
city will be opened for the scholastic year,
and it will be interesting to review their
operations for the past year, and consider
the future of these institutions, which have
always been the pride of Savannah.
Mr. W. H. Baker, the efficient and zeal
ous Superintendent, has completed his fif
teenth annual report of the public schools
of the city and county, and from the manu
script copy, which we have been permitted
to scan, we make the following synopsis,
which we are assured will be read with gen
eral interest:
EARLY CLOSING OF THE SESSION.
The Superintendent calls attention to the
fact that the closing of the schools on Juue
30th last shows a deduction of two weeks
from the usual scholastic year, and states
that this course was reluctantly adopted by
the Board of Education in the interests of
economy, and with a view to meet the ac
tual current expenses of the schools.
the disadvantages of long vacation.
The effect of this curtailment of the
scholastic year, says the Superintendent, has
been to lengthen the vacation, which was,
perhaps, already too long. Under the
present arrangement the regular holidays
include the months of July, August and
September, one week in May and one week
in December. When we add to these the
numerous holidays which unavoidably oc
cur in all city institutions, It will appear
that our schools are really not in operation
more than eight months during the year.
This, under any circumstances, is a disad
vantage, but especially is it the case at this
time when our youth are from various con
siderations compelled to leave gchool at a
very early age. The liability of children to
forget what they have learned can be fully
appreciated only by teachers. As a matter
of fact it is found necessary to spend one or
two months at the opeuing of each year ln
reviewing the work of the previous year, iu
order to recover lost ground and prepare
the pupils for the successful prosecu
tion of advanced work. For this
reason it would seem desirable, if the
school term cannot be lengthened, to dis
tribute the holidays more evenly during the
year, and in this way avoid euch long inter
ruptions of study. Long vacations furnish
opportunities to our youth for acquiring
idle and vicious habits, which are very
prejudicial to true progress. With a view
of guarding against these disadvantages
and dangers, many parents are in the habit
of supplementing the regular work of the
year by sending their children to school
during the summer vacation. It is estimated
that as many as four hundred children spend
a portion of their vacation in this way.
The reasons which led to the shortening
of the school year must, however, tie
recognized as not only justifiable, but
absolutely compulsory. With the limited
resources at the disposal of the Board of
Education there was really no alternative.
It would, however, seem reasonable to en
tertain the hope that an intelligent commu
nity, and one so well able to appreciate the
great benefits which education confers, will
provide more liberally for the support of
public education.
In the interest of the youth aud children
of the city I earnestly recommend that
someiffortbe made and some means de
vised whereby ihe schools can be kept ln
operation for ten months of the year.
STATISTICS.
Under this head the Superintendent gives
the following valuable information, from
which it will be seen that there are 4,235
children enrolled as pupils ia the public
schools, and that the average dally attend
ance is 3,177:

expedient measurably relieved the pressure
lu the lower classes, It was attended with
manifest injury to the pupila. 1 again re
commend that the grades in all the schools
be increased to eight. This would entirely
meet the demand for white children, and
equalize the numbers in the schools.
COUNTRY SCHOOLS.
There are seven white and fourteen col
ored schools under the supervision of the
Board of Education. I have visited nearly
all of these schools during the year. Some
of them, by reason of their distance and
peculiar location, are very difficult to reach.
In some of my visits I was accompanied by
the President, who was thus enabled to get
a very good idea of the manner in which
they are conducted. I have little to add to
my report of last year In reference to them.
The difficulties in the way of their suc
cessful operation are very great. There has
been no disposition on the part of the Board
of Education to neglect these schools. On
the contrary, everything has been done to
increase their efficiency. It Is quite certain
that their influence upon the communities
In which they are located has been good.
There is from year to year a decided in-
creasj in the number of those who can read
and write. It is believed that after a few
years the schools will compare favorably
with those in the city.
THE IMPORTANCE OF SUSTAINING THE SYS
TEM.
After submitting this comprehensive, and
at the same time plain and concise state
ment of the condition and operations of the
setool, the Superintendent gives his conclu
sions briefly in a clear, forcible and convinc
ing manner. He reiterates what is univer
sally acknowledged that the system of public
education is now esteemed an Important in
stitution,and that its successful operation re
quires large expenditures of money, and
much thought on the part of those who are
charged with its direction. It is, says the
Superintendent, the right of those who fur
nish the money to demand, and the duty of
those who disburse the same, to make a
faithful report of the work that has been
accomplished.
The report shows that the Superintendent
has discharged the important duties of his
position with ability and fidelity.

GENERAL CONDITION OK THE SCHOOLS.
It will be observed by an examination of
the statistics given above, that there has
been a decrease of ninety three in the en
rollment as compared with that of last year.
The average number belonging and the
average daily attendance, however, show au
increase. The general health of the pupils
has been better than iu auy previous year,
which fact accounts for the improved at
tendance. The reports from Principals of
the several schools Indicate very satisfacto
ry progress on the part of the pupils. The
work required iu the course of study adop
ted by the Board was completed iu every
class, and the examination at the close of
the year shows that it was thorough. There
have been very few cases of disci
pline which have called for the interven
tion of the Superintendent. The uniformly
good deportment which prevails in the
schools Is one of the reraaikible features
connected with them. This is due in large
measure to the firm and wise discipline
which is exercised by the teachers over their
pupils. The habits* of prompt obedience
and wllliug subordination to authority which
are learned ln our schools must necessarily
exert an important influence upon the fu
ture lives of those who attend them, aud
will redound greatly to the interest and
prosperity pf the community in which their
lots may be cast.
TEACHERS.
There have been some changes in the
corps of teachers since my last report. The
departments of modern languages and ca
listhenics have been abolished. Three new
teschera were elected to positions in the
primary classes,to supply the places of those
who had resigned. It gives me pleasure to re
port that these ladies have proved success
ful teachers. They were in every case grad
uates of our schools. It is worthy of special
mention that, with rare exceptions, these
graduates make the best teachers. Their
familiarity with the methods employed in
the schools enable them to comprehend at
once the requirements of the successful
teacher, without the hard experience which
the uninitiated must endure before achiev
ing success. Your rule, discriminating ln
favor of applicants who have passed through
the schools, is wise and just. It acts as a
powerful stimulus upon our older pupils
who desire to adopt teaching as their life
work.
The teaching power in our schools grows
from year to year. Wiser methods are learn
ed, and new influences are constantly
brought to bear on the pupils.
The teachers have learned to govern with
out effort. Time and experience have given
breadth to their knowledge, and just to that
axtent Is there less of rouMne work In the
schools. They are now able to depend less
on the text books, or to use them only as
aids in the work of teaching. All this Im
provement comes naturally from the policy
of the board, which, from its organization,
has been to make as few changes as possi
ble in the teachers, regarding experience as
an important factor in the instructor. I
hav° only words of commendation to offer
in respect to the teachers. They have been
F atienr, faithful and earnest in their work,
t Is hoped that the schools may long enjoy
their services.
EXAMINATIONS.
All the examinations, written and oral,
required under the riles have been held.
In addition to these, it was the habit of
some of the Principals to make private
examinations for their own satisfaction. It
has also been the custom of the Superinten
dent in his visits to the several s rhools to
ascertain by leading questions whether the
pupils are doing intelligent work. It will
appear theu that nothing is left undone to
carry out in all its details the object for
which the general system of education has
been established in our county.
The graduation exercises in the High
Schools took place in Masonic Temple on
the 25th day of June. These exprclses are
always largely attended by our citieeus, aud
the graduates, In view of the interest mani
fested in them, are stimulated to put forth
their best efforts to render the occasion at
tractive and interesting.
SCHOOL HOUSES AND FURNITURE.
The board have now possession ol ceveu
school buildings, fur ouly one of which
they pay rent. These buildings are in
tolerably good condition. Some of the
buildings would be improved bv the ap
plication of a little paint, Several of the
rooms in the Cathedral building need to be
changed ln order to secure better ventila
tion. The parties who erected this building
never designed that it should be divided
into more than four rooms, but the wants of
the school called for double this number.
The result is that the rooms are too small,
and do not admit of perfect ventilation.
Most of the furniture now In the schools
has been In coustant use for twelve years,
and soiR4 of it for a much longer
time. Considering this fact, and the
hard usage to which it has been
subjected, it is in very good order.
The purchase of new furniture and the
renovation of the old woald, however, add
much to the attractiveness and comfort of
the rooms. To carry into practical e ffect
these recommendations would, indeed, be
attended with expense, but this would be
more than compensated by the increased
comfort which it would afford.
SCHOOL ACCOMMODATIONS.
In my last annual report the attention of
the board was called to the crowded con
dition of the lower classes in the schools.
The same trouble was experienced during
the year just past. This difficulty was, as
far as possible, overcome by pushing the
children into higher grades; out while this

1*1 «ktug Cotton ln the Streets.
Now that the cotton season Is in full blast
merchants and factors are greatly annoyed
by the street arabs and old colored
women who earn a precarious liveli
hood by roaming about picking up
cotton from and around the bales on
the streets. In consequence of the
heavy loss sustained through the thieving
propensities of these persons, the Council
passed an ordinance requiring “cotton
pickers” to register their uames and take
out a license. The ordinance, however,
like many others, is “more honored iu the
breach than In the observance.”
Saturday morning shortly before nine
o’clock Policeman O. Reilly discovered an
interesting colored youth engaged in pick
ing up coiton in the streets, who could not
display the necessary license. He was car
ried to the barracks, where he gave his
name as John Bacon and was locked up.
About II o’clock iu the morning Police
man Deignan arrested Charles Small and
Elizabeth Mortimer, colored, who were
similarly engaged, and carried them to the
barracks.
Causbt Mealing—4'ha«c After aTlilef.
Saturday night, about 11 o’clock, a negro
by the name of James Stevenson entered the
store of Peter Kelly, at the corner
of President and East Broad streets,
which was crowded with customers
at the time, and watching a favorable
opportunity, snatched a piece of bacon
and levanted. Fortunately, he was ob
served by Mr. Kelly, who at once
started in pursuit of him, and after
a lively chase, captured James, who,
during the run had thrown the meat in the
street. Mr. Kelly, with the assistance of
another party, held the thief until Police
man White catne up, who carried him to
the barracks. James pretended then that
he was drunk and did not know what he
was doing, but this story was rather too
gauzy, as it were, and he was locked up.
Complimentary to a Young Lady ol

We find the following in the Owensboro
(Ky.) Messenger and Examiner:
“It wss not all disappointment at Ctirds-
ville on Saturday, the 4th inst., though ln
part. Neither of the gentlemen invited to
deliver addresses were on hand. The Han
cock and English flag went up all the same.
We have a banner 20x6 feet, floating one
hundred feet high, plenty of hands beneath,
and a cock above It. Much credit is due to
Mrs. R. M. Rodman and Ml:-s Mary Cullin,
of Savannah, Ga., for the execution of this
beautiful work. The Inscription on the
streamer of Hancock and English set your
type at defiance. As much could only be
expected of Miss Mary Cullin, who has been
a pupil of St. Joseph’s Academy for about
two years, and will soon tin'^h her education
there.”
Death from Injuries.
Mr. Moses Meyer, who was seriously hurt
a few evenings since by falling backwards
down a stairway in the establishment of
Messrs. Guckenheimer, Schwarz «te Co.,
died Saturday morning from the effects of
the injuries received. The deceased was
about sixty years of age, and was a brother
of County Commissioner M. H. Meyer. He
was well esteemed and his sad death is
greatly lamented by those who knew him.
Ilis funeral took place yesterday morning
from his late residence on Barnard street,
and was largely attended.
Thlrating for Gore.
Saturday afternoon, about half-past four
o’clock, Wallace Burton, a colored indi
vidual whose belligerent proclivities had
been stimulated by frequent potations, it is
presumed, determined to have a little fun,
as it were, and opened an assault upon a
man named Gus Williams on the steps at
the Market. .\ crowd collected, and the
efforts to stop the warrior only iucensed
him and he attempted to cut another per
son, John Daley by name. Policeman Hall,
however, interfered and prevented a tragedy
by carrying the sanguinary Wallace off to
the barracks.
Jupiter and IHn ITloona.
The perihelion of Jupiter occurred Satur
day night, when that planet reached the near
est point to the sun. Jupiter was at this epoch
46,000,000 miles nearer the great central
orb. Nearly twelve years must pass before
the conditions will again be as favorable for
observation. The planet came beaming
above the eastern horizon about 8 o’clock,
bright enough to east a shadow and afford
a glimpse of bis moons through a good
opera glass. Nothing could be more inter
esting than to study the phases of the four
diamond points ol light that bore witness to
the presence of Jupiter’s moons.
A Woman Knocked Down.
8aturdiy afternoon some excitement was
occasioned ln the vicinity of Bryan and
Montgomery streets by a difficulty between
a colored man and woman. After some
jawing the valiant trooper knocked the
woman down and fled. The woman was
badly hurt and was conveyed to some place in
the neighborhood, and was subsequently re
moved to her home. A warrant will be
issued for the arrest of the assailant.

THE PAYMENT OF DRAFTS.
The Journal of Commerce** Au
thority Unsatisfactory.
Editor Morning Sews: I have studied the
article in your issue of the 21th inst. uuder
the caption, “The payment of drafts—
the law In reference to religious holidays,”
and with due deference to the recognized
authority of the Journal of' Commerce on
such questions, fiad its opinion unsatisfac
tory and Inconclusive as therein expressed.
A note payable on demand Is a continu
ing security. A note payable at a given
future time specified, with or without days
of grace, is not a continuing, but a limited
security. The one is to be paid on presenta
tion, whenever that may be. The other
must be met when it falls due. The one.-If
not presented, remains unpaid without rteg-
leet. The other, if not taken up at the time
specified, remains unpaid with neglect. By
whose neglect ? That of the maker of the
note whose credit is Involved in the obli
gation to meet his promises, and who
is the protector of his owu reputation.
For this reason, every maker of a note
is bcund to follow up his own paper and
protect it. The holder of the note is in no
manner responsible for the maker’s reputa
tion uulees he be an indorser of it, but is
required to notify the maker that he is the
holder, in order that the maker may be ad
vised in whose hands his credit is, and
where to go to maintain it. All days of the
year are business days, except those de
clared not to be so by proper authority and
proclaimed to the community as such.
These exceptions are to be respected as dies
non juridici, that is, “ days on which
iio legal proceedings can take place.”
Every citizen is required to know these
days, and cannot plead ignorance of them
in bar of legal process. In conformity with
this principle of law the “customs of mer
chants” require that paper falling due on
one of these dies non shall be taken up on
the day preceding. Here the mercantile
rules close the matter. The community,
whether individuals or corporations, are
cot required to know the holidays of every
religious body in the United States. That
would be as absurd as impoa&iole. The
Catholics have some eight or nine festj
vals annually, which their church requires
them to observe as Sundays and refrain
from servile work. The Jews have theirs.
The Mohammedans have theirs, and the
Chinese theirs, but our laws take no cogni
zance of them, and therefore we are not
bound by them. As an individual holder, I
might be restrained from presenting paper
due by one of these religionists on one cf
his holidays by the charity of courtesy, but
a corporation, which has no soul, cauuot be
60 restrained, and justly, too, as it repre
sents the interests of its stockholders
under the laws and customs of mer
chants and not outside of them. The cashier
of a bank may trifle with h:s own affairs,
but not with those of other people confided
to his management; and a he is not ex
pected to be a theological expert but a
banker, he must carry out the legal rules of
banking or be unfaithful to his trust. From
these premises I draw the fo lowing con
clusions :
First. That every man is tl e protector of
his owu ertdit, and that if he knows of auy
circumstance that may shake it, his duty Is
to anticipate the threatened cloud by timely
care, even if it be to take up his paper
twenty four hours In advance of bisobliga-
tion upon it.
Second. That banks are cot theological
Institutions, but organizations under the
laws of the eouutry, by which they are regu
lated, aided by the law merchant; and that
we have no right to claim or expect cour
tesy from them. Commissioner.
