Dr. Eccleston’s Lecture Last Night.
Avery good house greeted Rev. Dr.
Eccleston last evening at the Theatre on
the occasion of his third and last lecture In
this city on “St. Paul’s Old and New, or the
Era of the Renaissance and the Reforma
tion.” It is sufficient to say that this lec
ture Is not a wblt less interesting than each
of the five others which that gentleman ha 6
delivered in this city. From the beginning
to the end of the entertainment the atten
tion of the audience was thoroughly
enchained. The lecturer, In his
very interesting style, and by aid
of the oxy-bydrogen light, described and
illustrated the grand old English Cathedral
as it existed before the great London fire
which destroyed It, and as it stands at pre
sent, a monument to the genius of the great
architect, Christopher Wren.
After dwelling at length upon the most
Interesting history of the Cathedral, the
reverend gentleman concluded with illus
trations and descriptions of various monu
ments erected therein to the memory of
many of England’s illustrious dead.
In this way he happily combined pleasure
with historical information, and every one
present felt that he or she had enjoyed a
genuine treat. We trust Dr. Eccleston will
return some of these days and either give
us more lectures on new subjects, or repeat
some of those already given. They will
easily bear repetition, for they are literary
entertainments of rare merit.
The Stock market.
The market for Central stock was very
much excited yesterday morning, and so
continued up to about one o’clock, when it
became quieter and more steady. At the
opening It was quoted at 142>£, and rose
rapidly, sales having been made at 143 and
During the evening it settled down
at 144 bid, 145 asked, at which figures it
closed dull. About 1,500 shares were sold
during the day, and rumor has it that Gen.
E. P. Alexander, Vice President of the
Louisville and Nashville Road, was a heavy
purchaser.
According to our special from Augusta,
elsewhere published, it will be 6een that
the Impression prevails in that eity that the
present excitement in this stock Is due to
the fact that Mr. Wadley and his associates,
together with the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad, have decided that it is cheaper to
purchase a controlling Interest in the Cen
tral than to rent the road. If this be true—
and the theory is certainly a plausible one—
as soon as this object is accomplished, the
excitement will cease, and the value of the
stock will be permanently decided by the
dividend which the purchasers will allow.
Georgia stock closed firm at 154 bid, 156
asked. _
West Polut.
Cozz -ns’ West Point Hotel has passed
into the hands of Mr. Cranston, the proprie
tor of the New York Hotel, who has leased
the property for a term of ten years, with
the privilege of purchase. The new pro
prietor has expended a large amount in
placing the hotel, cottag. sand surrounding
pleasure grounds In first class order. The
hotel will be opened on May 31 with a full
dress ball, and the old patrons of the house
are promised the best accommodation and

tral Park, one a skating party and the other
a sleighing party. During the hot days of a
Southern summer it will be quite refreshing
to look at the pictures on this turnout. A
good look at it this weather u auses a chill to
the sensttive.

The U. ft. Steamer “Uudlnc” A
Strange Chapter of the War.
Capt. J. H. Welsh, of Erie, Pa., Is spend
ing the winter South for his health, and Is
now at the Marshall House, and has just
been notified that funds to pay the Undine
losses were appropriated by the last Con
gress, and thereby hangs one of the strange
chapters of the war.
In 1864 the U.S. steamer Undine was captur
ed after desperate resistance by Hood’s army
at Ft. HlDdman, on the Tennessee river.
After the war the officers and crew placed
in the hands of Capt. Welsh powers of at
torney to collect for them compensation for
losses, which the Secretary of the Navy, in
1870, refused to grant, and there the mat
ter rested. Last December Captain
Welsh stopped at Washington, on
his way to Florida, and at a din
ner party met a gentleman connected
with the Navy Department who said, upon
being introduced: “Oh, yes, I remember,
you filed a claim for the Undine,” to which
Captain Welsh replied, “Yes, but it was
not allowed ” The stranger ineisted it wag
allo wed, and the next day Captain Welsh,
being incredulous, called at the Fourth
Auditor’s office and found that the claim
was allowed six years ago. The papers bear
the following indorsement of Admiral D. D.
Porter : “This vessel fought against over
whelming odds and was gallantly defended,
and I recommend the payment of the
claim,” and underneath is the approval of
the Secretary of the Navy. Captain Welsh
does not know the whereabouts of any of
the interested parties, but hopes to reach
them through the press. Captain Welsh
can be addressed at Erie, Pa., after June Ist,
—
A Terrible Accident.
Young Mr. Wigfall Sims, who has been
running as a train hand on the Charleston
and Savannah Railway for some time past,
was crushed between two cars at Yemassee
yesterday, and will hardly survive his in
juries. He was coupling a flat car loaded
with lumber and a box car. One of the
pieces of lumber projected too far over the
edge of the car, and as the box ear came
up the unfortunate youDg man’s head was
caught between the lumber and the box car,
and was badly fractured ou both 6ides.
Shortly after the accident he was placed on
the Charleston bouDd passenger train in an
unconscious condition. At Adams’ Run
Dr. Ancrum boarded the train on his way to
this city, and did all in his power to alleviate
the sufferings of the wounded man. Upon
reaching the city he was taken to bis home,
123 St. Philip street, still alive, but with
slight chance of his recovery. Mr. Sims is
a very popular and efficient young man,
who by hard work and industry was trying
to work himself up to a higher position on
the road . —Charleston News and Courier, 21 si.

gret; therefore, be it

BANQUET TO THE VISITING KNIGHTS.
Last evening a banquet was given the
visiting Knights by Alliance and Savannah
Lodges, of this city, in the elegant hall of
the Republican Blues, in Lyons’ block. At
half past eight o’clock the members of the
Grand Lodge and of Alliance and Savannah
Lodges assembled in the Knights of Honor
Hall, where a half an hour was passed very
pleasantly. A “bald-headed” club, com
posed of some twelve worthy Knights,
held a kind of consolation meeting,
as it were, in the centre of the hall, which
was engineered by a demure deacon. They
presented a beautiful spectacle, and were
warmly complimented, by tbeir brethren,
whose caputs were adorned with luxuriant
hirsute covering, upon their venerable ap
pearance and their prominent foreheads.
The baldheaded 6eance afforded consider
able diversion and was voted a success.
At 9 o’clock the committee announced
the banquet ready, and the procession was
formed and marched Into the banquet hall,
adjoining, and in a few minutes were seated
around the tempting tables.
Thomas A. Askew, D. of Alliance Lodge,
in a few pertinent remarks, in which he dis
played his propensity for punning on names,
invited the Knights to “fall to,” promising
them an eloquent welcome from a Harden
ed member.
When justice had been done the viands,
and champagne and cigars were introduced,
attention was called by the presiding Dicta
tor, and Mr. E. T. Harden, P. D. of Alliance
Lodge, arose, and in the following happy
manner extended a welcome to the Grand
Lodge and visiting brethren:
Brother Grand Dictator, Officers and Brothers
of the Grand Lodge:
Leaving the beaten track of welcoming ora
tory, wherein the first thing done is to make
excuse that some more potent, grave and
reverend seigneur had not been chosen
to perform so pleasing duty , I at once shall
strike an almost paradoxical key in the har
mony ot welcome by asking a question: What
come ye for ? In the reply, which comes echo
ing through your past assemblages, and loot ing
through the telescope of the records of your
body, I see that emblazonment of all that is
knightly in the words: To do our duty. Ah,
what music is there in such language
How vividly can we call up the many tears of
the widow or orphans that have been turned
from mourning to almost joy—jov in the fact
that by the knightly deeds which, while not
clanging and resounding to the clash of metal
against metal, yet still has that most potent
sound of metal, and in the golden shape whose
lustre has swayed most potent influence in the
providing of the necessaries of life. Ye come
to meet from all the quarters of our great
Stale to legislate and do the best for the laws
and government of the Knights of Honor in
Georgia, and thereby add another adamantine
link in the chain that shall make the body so
indissoluble that all the sceptisim and ridi
cule which the world can hurl at us
shall fall as dropping loaves at our
feet, and, like falling leaves, lie dead and return
to whence they came through the process of
decomposition. Let the wonderful record of
what the Knights of Honor have done in the
years of its life stand as a certain sign that as
long as men have the same appreciation of the
needs of such an Institution, so long will it
stand and flourish os it now does. This body
is but one of the integral parts of the whole,
yet we see in it an examplification of its work
ings as a whole. What a theme! But time for
bids me to follow its lead.
In bidding you welcome, I, as the mouth
piece of the Lodges of Savannah, do so with
all the cordiality of my heart and soul, and
echo but the sentiments of that sublime ode of
the order:
How truly blessed is the sight
Of Knights assembled here,
Who in each other’s peace delight,
And soothe each other’s cares;
Who each his brother’s failings hide
’Neatly true paternal iove,
And free from selfish, jealous pride,
By works their faith do prove.
We bid you welcome, brothers, with that
Knightly spirit which can only attain through
strict adherence to the guidance of that which
we have followed—the Golden Rule.
These remarks were received with ap
plause, and, at the conclusion, Dr. William
King, r r., the newly elected Dictator of the
Grand Lodge, responded in one of the most
felicitous speeches we have ever heard, and
was very vociferously applauded. His allu
sion to his boyhood days ip Savannah
evoked hearty peals of laughter, and re
called “old times” to many.
Calla were then made for Colonel J. L.
Warren, who responded In his best style,
and was greeted with enthusiasm. Remarks
Fare afte'rwarfts made by u. A. D. 8. F.Weisl
ger, of -iLugusts, f. G. D. Q. T. Rogers, f.
G. D. R. J. Powell, of Barnesvllle, and oth
ers, and songs and anecdotes made up the
full measure of the evening’s pleaesres,
which were prolonged until a late hour.
The occasion was is every respect a most
enjoyable one, and it Is to be hoped that the
members of the Grand Lodge will carry
away with them the pleasantest recollec
tions of their session in Savannah, in April,
1881. |
EXCURSION FROM EDISTO TO
SAVANNAH.
The Party Visit the Masonic Fair
and are Delighted.
Who has not heard of Edisto Island? Not
he who has studied the secrets of the culti
vation of long cotton, surely. Edisto is a
garden spot in a chain of fruitful islands
that adorn our coast between Savannah and
Charleston, and is conceded to be one of the
most productive long cotton regions in the
South. But this is not all that has made the
name of Edisto respected of men. Her
sons are men of enterprise, culture and lib
erality. They are eminently practical as
planters, and add to the knowledge they
have acquired by experience that which
they have imbibed through theories, until
the name of Edisto cotton is almost a cer
tain guarantee for the best grade of sea
island cotton ever offered on the market.
Her daughters are chaste, accomplished and
beautiful, representatives of the type of
Southern womanhood.
Who that has ever enjoyed the pleasure
of having been “pin tap Edsto” will ever
forget “de big mullets” with which her
waters abound, or fail to remember “de
white foot” oysters, the like of which can
scarcely be found elsewhere ?
It is the yearly custom of the sons and
daughters of this Carolina Sparta to seek
that relaxation and enjoyment which is af
forded by an excursion of two or three days
to some charming point in the neighbor
hood. This year those having the manage
ment unanimously resolved to make Savan
nah the point, in order to renew old ac
quaintance and visit the delightful drives
about the town, and last, but by no means
least, to look in upon the grand Masonic
Bazar, the fame of which has been heralded
to the world through the columns of the
Morning News.
Engaging the delightful steamer Pilot
Boy, of which Capt. Frank Phillips is the
courteous commander, the party left Edisto
on Wednesday morning at 8 o’clock. Com
ing the outside passage, they arrived at
Beaufort on Wednesday evening at 5:30
o’clock, some declaring they were not a bit
seasick, but only “felt peculiar.” At Beau
fort they were received by friends, and, after
driving around the town, closed the day in
the mazes of the dance at a ball at the Sea
Island Hotel.
At 4 o’clock yesterday morning the gal
lant steamer and her precious freight left
Beaufort, and steamed up to our docks at
half past nine o’clock, having on boat’d
about fifty excursionists, among whom we
saw Messrs. 1. J. Mikell, Jr., G. W. 8.
Jenkins, J. M. Laßoche, T. P. Mikell, F.
Hopklnson, J. Mikell, M. Seabrook, W S.
Edlngs, J. M. Pope, 8. Whaley, James Hop
kinson and Edward Jenkins, of Edisto
Island, Frank Mikell, of Coosaw, Wm.
Murray, W. G. Hinson and Starling Hinson,
of James Island; W. P. Lawson, of Au
gusta, and many others. Some of the fairest
sisters, wives and daughters of the isles ac
companied the party, and we doubt not the
trip was a delightful one, judging from the
bright eyes and cheery smiles of the fair
ones.
The morning was spent by some of the
ladies and their escorts sight seeing and
shopping, while several of the gentlemen
accepted the Invitation the proprietor of the
Morning News extended them, and visited
every department of the buildiDg. They
expressed great pleasure at the opportunity
afforded them of beholding, for the first
time in many cases, the working of the
huge presses, the folding of the papers by
steam power, and the marvelous mode in
vogue of mailing.
This consumed the time until the dinner
hour, when all returned to the steamer and
sat down to a bounteous repast. The News
reporter was made a guest of the occasion,
and did justice to the pleasures of the table,
as to him appeared the fashion of the mo
ment.
At four o’clock they drove out to Bona
venture and Thunderbolt.
The eveniDg was, of course, devoted to
the main object of the visit —that of be
holding what Masons may do when they are
aided by their wives and daughters and
friends. From table to table the party
strayed, often allured into contributing to
the object in view by the purchase of arti
cles exhibited before them, and few of the
young men could resist the mute petition of
liquid eyes above lovely hands extending a
rsffle list, and bills upon bills were changed
to meet the requirements of the moment.
We suspect the beauty of some of those
sparkling eyes have made a lasting impres
sion upon the memory of more than one
gallant young man who lives “pin tap
Edsto.”
The party will return this morning.
The Laud League Fuud—What Be
comes of It.
Editor Morning Ninos: Permit me to answer
this question in the widely read columns of
the News, through which your readers are
made daily aware of the desperate struggle
in which the farmers and peasantry of Ire
land are now engaged for a Anal settlement
of the land question, and the overthrow of
the accursed landlord sytem, which for cen
turies has been the cause of all their sorrows
and miseries, which has by artifieal famines
murdered millions of the people of Ireland,
desolated their firesides, and scattered the
race over the earth like chaff before the
wind.
This feudal system has long since been
abolished throughout Christendom, even by
the reputed despotic and semi-barbarous
Czar of Russia, who, in our recent memo
ries, has been humane enough to abolish it
in his dominions, making thirty million Rus
sian serfs happy owners of the land they till.
It has found its last stronghold in the
British Islands. It remained for the free,
enlightened Government of England to sus
tain the accursed system by all the con
stabulary and military force at her com
mand, consisting at least of fifteen thousand
police and twenty-five thousand soldiers.
The landlord’s plan is first to send out
his process server to serve the writs of eiect
ment. This even the women and children
would not allow him to do, but he applies
to the government, which furnishes him
with all the police and soldiers he requires,
usually from fifty to three hundred. With
these he goes into the poor villages, and
serve the writs at the point of the bayonet.
The 6econd and last act in the drama is
performed by the Sheriff, supported by the
crowbar brigade of police and red coated
soldiery. He proceeds to execute his evic
tion decrees, which Gladstone has said are
equal to a sentence of death. The shiver
ing babe and gray-haired sire are cast out
on the wayside of life, and, at the penalty
of the lord’s displeasure, forbidden succor
or shelter upon any part of his property.
Here they lie, without a friend, under the
canopy of heaven or icgisof British civiliza
tion to come to their relief. Oh, yes! there
is one friend. The Land League, who acts
the part of the Good Samaritan, comes to
them with ointment for their wounds, food
for their hunger, garments for their naked
ness, and shelter for their sick and weary
bodies. It builds little houses adjacent to
their little farms, and puts a curse upon any
man who takes them until the landlord is
brought to terms rather than see his land
lie an unprofitable waste. It fights the land
lords in the courts, and tries to sustain the
victims of his rapacity until the question is
settled.
Does this need no meney? Never in hu
man history has any institution had to bear
such a drain upon its charity and resources
as the Land League has every day to bear.
America is nobly responding to the fund,
and 6ends weekly a thousand pounds. May
God bless you, great and big-hearted Amer
ica, who never regarded color, creed nor
section when suffering humanity was the
question, and to whom no cause, or man, or
suffering child has ever appealed in vain.

EPISCOPAL ORPHAN'S HOME.
Annual Meeting Report t>f the
Managers.
The annual meeting of the Managers of
the Episcopal Orphans’ Home was held at
tbe Home on Wedneaday afternoon, April
20th.
Divine prayer having been offered by the
Rev. Thomas Boone, the children, led by
Mrs. Cleveland, sang very sweetly their
Easter carols, when Mr. Boone gave them a
short address.
The annual reports of the Secretary and
Treasurer were submitted to the board, and
the election of officers and managers of the
Home took place, which resulted In the re
election of the present board. After this the
children and guests were invited to partici
pate in a bountiful feast, prepared through
the kindness of their friends, who must have
felt repaid for all they did when they saw
the bright faces, and perfect enjoyment of
the children.
The following report of the Board of
Managers to the Bishop of the Diocese, the
rectors of the Home and all interested in the
institution was submitted by the Secretary,
Mrs. W. E. DuPont :
TWENTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT.
Again, through the goodness of God, are
we permitted to take part in this, the great
feast of the year—Easter of 1881—and to
celebrate our twenty-eighth anniversary.
After looking over the minutes of the
different monthly meetings, I beg leave to
submit the following annual report:
The children through the past year have
enjoyed excellent health. the doctor having
been called but seldom. Under God, we can
attribute this to the attentive care of the
matron, of whom we can in justice say that
she does her duty faithfully in all the de
partments of the Home. During the past
year there have been from fifteen to twenty
children supported, two having been re
moved by surviving parents, who felt that
they could now maintain them, suitable
homes provided for two others, and one be
came of age, while six children hake been re
ceived into the Home. The comfort and
happiness of the little oneg has been en
hanced by the thoughtfulness of friends of
the institution, who have provided gener
ously for their several wants, and have also
permitted them to participate in many plea
sures. The managers of the Home have
spared themselves no exertion to keep up
the finances, the Treasury being almost ex
hausted to meet the expenses for necessary
repairs of the building. In fact the Home
has been supported for the past two or three
months by the yearly subscriptions, which
have almost all been collected. The pros
pect for the ensuing summer would Indeed
be gloomy enough to make us all despon
dent, were it not that a generous public
hss ever in the past come to our relief.

No More Broken and Rusty Side
Steels.
WILL POSITIVELY NOT BREAK
DOWN ON THE SIDES.
THESE Corsets are made with two rows of
Bones, placed one upon the other on each
side; this doubles their strength and elasticity,
does away with broken and rusty side steel's,
and makes them ABSOLUTELY UNBREAKA
BLE in those parts subjected to the greatest
strain.
They have an extra long five hook double
clasp and are cut proportionately long on the
sides and back, thus meeting a popular de
mand for long Corsets.
We respectfully request an examination.
